A summary of adjustments, by department, is provided below. Additional information on each department’s budget, including staffing details, is available in Attachments 1-15.
• Mayor/Council
o Staffing: An Office of Public Safety (OPS) Analyst (1.0 FTE) was deleted, and an OPS Specialist (1.0 FTE) was added to better align the operational needs of the Office of Public Safety Accountability as directed by Council.

Litigation & Human Resources
Wyatt, Russell: Plaintiff alleged that City Measure I (passed by a majority of City voters in 1998) violated the provisions of the California Constitution that relate to municipal taxes, because it calls for the transfer of a percentage of enterprise utility fund revenue to the general fund. Plaintiff pr evailed at the trial court, but Division attorneys appealed to the Third District Court of Appeal. In a unanimous and published opinion, the court reversed the trial court ruling and held that Measure I does not violate the California Constitution. Plaintiff’s request for review by the California Supreme Court was denied.
Aguayo, Joseph: Plaintiff suffered signific ant injuries in a motor vehicle collision involving a Sacramento Fire Department truck. City personnel were deemed at fault, but Division attorneys investigated the nature and extent of injuries to successfully reach a settlement resolution for substantially less than jury exposure. Excel Fitness Fair Oaks, LLC: Plaintiff filed a complaint against the State of California, Sacramento County, the Cit y of Sacramento, and other local jurisdictions in the Eastern District of California, alleging the Public Health Orders requiring closure of gyms during the CO VID-19 pandemic violat ed provisions of the Constitution including violations of the takings clause, due process clause, and equal protection clause. Division attorneys defended the case on the grounds that there is no constitutionally protected right to operate a gym. The City prevailed and the Court dismissed the case.
500 Bercut LLC: Plaintiff filed a compla int against the City c hallenging the City’s plans to provide shelter and services to persons experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically , providing restroom facilities and converting a hotel into housing. The complaint alleged promissory estoppel, violation of due process, equal protec tion, and state-created harm. Division attorneys challenged the pleadings which forced Plaintiff to dismiss the case. Aggie Square: The UC Regents approved t he Aggie Square Project in November 2020 and two organizations f iled lawsuits challenging the approval. The City intervened in both lawsuits in an effort to protect the City’s interest in the Aggie Square project. The City Attorney’s Office worked with the Mayor’s office to negotiate settlement of both cases.
Sacramento Valley Station: Division attorneys assisted Public Works in the processing of an area plan for the Sacramento Valley Station that will facilitate and guide the development of a 31-acre sust ainable regional mobility hub within a connected, vibrant, and walkable comm unity. The SVS Station was processed based on streamlined and efficient environmental review, without legal challenge.

MEASURE U
The following chart summarizes the Department’s Measure U programs.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Animal Care Services Division
The live release rate is a key measure of the Front Street Animal Shelter's success in achieving its mission of saving lives. The live release rate can be affected by a variety of factors including the health of animals upon intake, the number of animals received due to bite/abuse/neglect investigations, staffing levels, and volunteer/community involvement.

Community Response
On July 1, 2020, the City C ouncil directed the City Manager to develop an alternative response model for 911 calls that do not requi re traditional emergency services. This Office was originally created as a Division in the City Manager’s Office. The Division became the standalone Department of Community Response (DCR) effective July 1, 2021.
DCR deploys social workers and outreach specia lists who are trained to resolve certain crises such as behavioral health, homelessne ss, youth and family disturbances, school response, and substance use issues. The goal of the DCR is to divert entry into jails and emergency departments by connecting indivi duals with appropriate services and treatment options to better resolve such crises.
To facilitate the shift toward this alternat ive response model, DCR is comprised of the following four offices:
Office of Community Outreach: Responsible for responding to calls for service by deploying teams of social workers and outreach specialists who will use evidence- based practices such as cultural com petency, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches t hat are not typically f ound within traditional emergency response models.
Office of Homeless Services: Resp onsible for the City’s response to homelessness, which includes coordinating with various Federal, State, local, nonprofit, and faith-based entities to end homelessness and administering millions in contracts to fund emergency shel ter, wraparound services, and housing projects.
Office of the Director: Responsible fo r the strategic planning, fiscal, human resources, and administrative management of the Department. Office of Violence Prevention: Responsib le for the City’s response to gang and gun violence which includes administering a gang prevention and intervention grant program and overseei ng the implementation of other evidence-based violence prevention activities.
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
PROGRAMS/SERVICE HIGHLIGHTS
The Office of Community Outreach (O CO) hired 10 FTE Neighborhood Resource Coordinators (NRCs) to respond to calls for service regarding individuals experiencing homelessness. The Office has successfully collaborated with Hope Cooperative to implement widespread outreach across th e city. Since July 2021, the OCO has responded to nearly 12,000 calls relative to homeless concerns or to trash complaints. The Office of Homele ss Services cannot perform their work without the outreach of OCO team.
The Office of Homeless Services (OHS) started and completed its first City-funded Safe Ground Program (April 2021 through February 2022). The program was able to serve 450 people experiencing homelessness, including veterans, families, and those experiencing chronic homelessness. 70% of the guests served at that location had never previously engaged with any homeless services. 42% of the guests served exited to positive destinations from the Safe Gr ound, proving that this is a viable form of triage into the City’s homeless system of care.
OHS continues to operate a Safe Parki ng program on Front St., where 45% of guests served to date have exited to positive destinations. In February 2022, OHS opened a new Safe Ground camping program at Miller Regional Park, referred to as Riverfront Safe Ground. This site is set up with 60 tents, cots, restroom/hygiene services, a fully plumbed and heated shower trailer, a Case Management area, a Family style dining area, and other amenities. Due to this location being fully City- owned, the City was able to design it for full site access control with one single point of entry/exit. This will greatly increase the sense of safety within the site and reduce critical incidents. 110 people can be served at any given time at this location.
The Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) continued to implement an approach to reduce gang violence dur ing the pandemic. Key accomplishments during FY2021/22 included granting $1 million to support the Gang Prevention and Intervention Taskforce to deter at-risk youth from becoming gang-involved and establishing a mentoring program for gang-involved individuals with several community-based organizations. OVP also implemented a grant program using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Reinvestment Funds for gang uptick during the pandemic, granting $500,000 to support Evidence-Based Community Violence Intervention and $1 million to support Evidence-Based Interruption, Disruption and Suppression grant program.
DEPARTMENT EFFICIENCIES
OHS has improved the f unctionality of the Mote l Voucher Program (MVP), increasing the amount and efficiency of the service-providers in their efforts to connect guests to housing in the community. OHS also developed an improved method of tracking Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) eligibility amongst guests in the program, allowing it to maximize reimbursable costs associated with the program. Additionally, OHS was able to secure an additional FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
hotel in the City, providing a wider network in the community to serve families and individuals in Non-Congregate shelter.
In May of 2021, OHS re-engaged contra cted Emergency Shelter providers in regular site visits, increasing support, and maximizing efficient oversight of funded programs. During the height of pandemic risks, OHS developed a system of video site visits to continue to support and oversee contracted partners. Successfully implemented a 311 alternative response model. Calls for services are dispatched via the City’s 311 system.
Contracted with Forensiclean to provide cleanup services throughout the City. To date, Forensiclean has cl osed 5,000 calls, collected near ly 25,000 needles, and cleared over 29,000 cubic yards of trash.
OBJECTIVES FOR FY2022/23
On February 15th, 2022, Council voted to support the Coordinated Access System (CAS). This system, with the support of a ll major public entities throughout the County, will not only help to achieve quick and efficient access to homeless service providers but will also help to understand what homelessness looks like in the City and greater community. This in turn will allow the City to use to appropriately focus programs to the needs of the most vulnerable residents of the City of Sacramento.
OHS will launch CAS with all the City’s shelter providers and continue to work with collaborative partners to make adjustments and impr ovements as necessary.
These efforts will result in faster access to appropriate services for those experiencing homelessness, reducing the time spent on the street, increasing the number of known destinations that they exit to, and increase positive outcomes once engaged in Emergency Shelter services.
In August 2021, Council voted to enact th e Comprehensive Siting Plan (CSP) to address homelessness. OHS will continue to work alongside other departments to plan, design, and implement pr ojects within the CSP, as well as exploring other opportunities as directed. These efforts will increase the number of safe locations for those experiencing homelessness to fi nd Shelter and Respite. Additionally, OHS will continue to improve all aspects of partnership with our contractors, and utilize data to gauge effectiveness related to costs, outcomes, and equity. Hire additional nine full-time Neighborho od Resource Coordinators to expand services to seven days a week.
Contract up to $2.8 million for communi ty-based organizations to coordinate directly with NRCs and to pr ovide direct outreach in each of the eight Council districts.
Continue successful implementati on of the City’s G ang Prevention and Intervention Taskforce Grant by adminis tering another award cycle of $1 million July 2022 for FY2022/23.

The following chart summarizes the Department’s Measure U programs:
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Convention Center Complex Division
The SAFE Credit Union Convention and Performing Arts District provides both ticketed and free events to the public. Ticketed events include theater performances and consumer shows such as the Broadway Series, home-shows, concerts, conventions, and festivals.
An increase in tickets sold is an indicator of the strength of the shows and the demand for the events. These shows bring local attendees and visitors to the downtown core , which supports the economic vitality of Sacramento. Overall demand for event and production space at the SAFE Credit Union C onvention and Performing Arts District, whic h includes the Performing Arts Center an d Memorial Auditorium, continues to grow. Beginning in June 2018, the Memorial Auditorium closed for renovations and reopened for events in June 2019. In July-August 2019, the Convention Center and Performing Arts Center both closed for renovations and reopened for events in calendar year 2021. Additionally , in FY2019/20, FY202/21, and FY2021/22 there have been events/performances cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.
The SAFE Credit Union Convention Center has followed a national trend in awarding exclusive contracts for many services provided at the facility. Currently, the City has contracts with Centerplate for food and beverage; Encore for audio-visual; Smart City Networks for telecommunications; Ticketmaster for ti cketing; and Boingo for wireless communications . These exclusive contracts provide f or consistent high levels of customer servic e, a financial return for the City, and a signi ficant vendor investment to a City asse t. The revenue generated is an indicator of the strength of our Conventi on Center business primarily wi th conventions, conferences, tradeshows, and meetings. With approximately 400 events and nearly 800,000 visitors annually, these events are vital to the loc al economy bringing visitors to the downtown area supporting hotels, restaurants, and re tail businesses. Beginning in June 2018, t he Memorial Auditorium closed for renovations and reopened for events in June 2019. In Ju ly-August 2019, the Convention Center and Performing Arts Center closed for renovations and reopened for events in calendar year 2021. Additionally, in FY2019/20, FY2020/21, and FY2021/22 there have been events/performances cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.

Crocker Art Museum Division
The attendance figures are a direct refl ection of the exhibition and programmatic schedule. The decrease in attendance and membership figures are a direct reflection of the museum being closed to the public because of the pandemic.
Center for Sacramento History Division
As of FY2016/17, CSH is now tracking digital assets and how they are being used. The Center for Sacramento History is an important source of accurate information about Sacramento and its past. The Center continues to respond to increasing research requests and anticipates those requests will grow due to exposure from events and digitization projects placing more of our collections on national databases. By providing prompt and accurate research, Sacramento history is featured in films and on HBO, HLN, NBC and in local, news reporting, academic papers, raising the profile of the city both nationally and internationally. Due to the pandemic, both in-person and online researchers are significantly lower than projected for FY2019/20 and FY2020/21.Most online visits are often the resu lt of an in-person research appointment, which are significantly lower due to the pandemic.
The inventory in the CSH consists of the following catalogued items: artifacts; photographs; government, business, and organizational records; personal and family manuscripts; and library books. Adding to the inventory every year will make these items more accessible to the public through the searchable online database and to in-house researchers looking for information. The CSH is currently working with the University of California digitizing multiple collecti ons including our increasingly used KCRA film collection. Due to the pandemic, staff, volunteers, and interns are not in the office to process collections resulting in lower projections for FY2019 /20 and FY2020/21. It is unclear when staff, volunteers, and interns will be able to safely return to the office.
Office of Arts and Culture Division
Public Art Program
The Art in Public Places program is funded through an ordinance that requires at least two percent of eligible City and County capital improvement project budgets be set aside for public art. Several of the objects in the City and County public art collection have been recognized nationally. The number of projects in progress may significantly vary year-to-year based on funding for new construction.
Project timelines are generally multi-year and undergo an extensive public process of artist selection, community input, and oversight by Arts Commission staff. Gallery exhibitions are also produced as part of the program and funded by the City, County, and the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD). The City and Coun ty public art collection includes more than 675 objects. Publi c artworks that are maintained or conserved year-to-year may vary due to funding and/or project complexity.
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
Any Given Child Program
A program developed by the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, Any Given Child, provides equitable access to arts education experiences for K-8 students during the school day. Services offered under the program include in-class arts residencies, schoo l assemblies delivered by local arts organiza tions, and professional developm ent workshops for teachers, school administrators, a nd artists. The structure of the fees-for-service menu distributed to participating school districts changed. Districts now purchase a specific number of Teaching Artist Residencies, Ar ts Exposure Events (assemblies), and seats at Professional Development workshops, to be used throughout the year.
Cultural Arts Awards (CAA) Program
The Grants and Cultural Program provides support to Sacramento City and County nonprofit arts and cultural organizations throug h a diverse grant program. The number of grants awarded varies due to the results of the panel process and City/County funding allocations.
The Cultural Arts Awards (CAA) grants, our premier grant, offers general operating support or project support with grants that typically range from $1,000 to $25,000. The CAA grant is funded by both the County and City of Sacramento through the annual Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) allocation during the annual budget process. The amount available to grant will increase as the TOT allocation increases.
The Cultural Equity (CE) grant provides project support or capacity building support with grants that range from $2,000 to $20, 000.
The CE grant was funded by a one-time allocation in FY2015/16 and FY2020/21.
Per the Americans for the Arts & Economic Prosperity Calculator, the economic impact of the Arts Commission's nonprofit grantee s is significant to the local economy, generating over $2 million in local government revenue and providing over 1,700 full-time equivalent jobs in the region.
Film and Media
Sacramento Film + Media became part of the Ci ty of Sacramento's Office of Arts & Cu lture in 2019. It carries out film permitti ng, promotes the City as a filmmaking destinati on, and serves as a general resource for, and a driver of, film and media industry development in the City of Sacramento. Sacramento Film + Media measures its progress through the number of film permits, hotel nights and extended stays, local hires and film production spend in the City. Sacramento Film + Media had a good year in 2020 despite closure due to the pandemic for part of the 2020 year because the region was permitting when others were not.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES
HR Administration Division
The percentage of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) or Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complaints resolved without filings resulting in cause or monetary settlements. The City's liability is reduced by maintaining policies and educating staff, therefore creating an inclusive and productive work environment. The City has required all employees to re ceive in-person EEO training, and it wil l continue to provide in-person training to comply with state law as well as to provide training to new employees on at least a quarterly basis.
Labor Relations Division
The Department makes every effort to resolve each labor grievanc e it receives. By resolving gr ievances internally, the City demonstrates its commitment to upholding the terms of the memo randums of understandings (MOUs) with employee organizations.
In addition, the City saves time and other resources by handling grievances internally rather than through arbitration. Human Resources will continue to handle grievances expeditiously and with great diligence to achieve 100 percent resolution rate.
Risk Management Administration Division
One of the most significant risks of inju ry to Sacramento citizens and employees is vehicle accident s. With the support of City leadership and effective driver training through the Sacramento Re gional Driver Training Facility, the number of City-owned veh icle liability claims have been reduced even as more miles are being driven each year. The number of City vehicle-related liability claims had been as high as 224 in 1997 and has been reduced dramatically since that time.

The Department of Information Technology (IT) is committed to ensuring IT investments and strategic business technologies that are innovative, reliable, equitable and deliver the highest possible value to the City and its constituents.
The IT Department manages a full range of information technology and related services for all Departments and the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The City’s IT systems, infrastructure, information, and func tions range from relatively simple to extremely complex.
The IT Department is divided into seven areas:

Sacramento City 311: Responsible for assisting the public and internal departments with all non-public safety service
requests, and questions regarding City services
and policies.
PROGRAMS/SERVICE HIGHLIGHTS
The IT Department provides 311 resour ces for our community to request city services. 311 is the primary point of cont act with residents and acts as the front door for many. The City's 311 has grown substantially since it started back in 2008.
In 2021, 311 answered over 290K calls and processed over 500K requests! More than any year in previous history! Among the many challenges that the City faced, the 311 team was able to accomplish this important work while working remotely!
Expanded the Sacramento Digit al Equity Response program to further address the needs of insufficient or lack of digital access exacerbated in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This program provides digital services, devices, training, and the knowledge necessary fo r Sacramento residents to connect to essential community, education, medical, and governm ent services by leveraging City and private funding sources.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic , many City employees had to rapidly transform their daily work from an onsite city facility to a remote work environment.
IT supports thousands of remote workers by providing technology tools that allow for seamless and secure remote connectivi ty to business systems, information, online public meetings, collaboration, and communication from anywhere. Provided substantial support and leadersh ip for the Sacram ento Independent Redistricting Commission to accomplish its mission to create council district boundaries that are balanced in population in accordance with local, State, and Federal laws that govern the redistricting process.
DEPARTMENT EFFICIENCIES
Implemented a Natural Language Interactiv e Voice Recognition (IVR) system for 311. Voice recognition allows callers to speak and receive services without having to wait to speak to a 311 agent. Hundreds of calls are addressed each day quickly and efficiently, freeing up 311 agents to handle more complex requests that cannot be handled in the automated system.
Automated hundreds of business proce sses throughout City departments. This included but was not limited to the implementation digital signature processes and workflows as well as hundreds of online web forms. These efforts enabled the City to continue to provide vital City servic es throughout the pandemic with low or no touch services efficiently.
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
Implemented internal efficiency processe s such as the online Personnel Action Request process for hire and re-hire ac tions and other workflow based online processes that resulted in faster processing, more accurate information, and audit capabilities for improved transparency.
The Department is committed to cont inuous improvement to reduce energy consumption and support the City’s green initiatives. Among many other initiatives, IT has reduced the number of physical se rvers by more than 95%, resulting in significant energy savings.
OBJECTIVES FOR FY2022/23
Implement a Grants Management Information System that will administer the end- to-end lifecycle of all Cit y grants (awarded and received), improve business efficiencies, and more effectively m anage grants citywide. The system will streamline the grants requesting and tracking process and will generate analytics based on grant related data.
Modernize the technology job classifica tions and organizational structure under the Citywide Classification Study to re flect the critical work the department performs.
Implement a 311 Workforce Management System to support shift scheduling and work assignments to ensure 311 is proper ly resourced with the right amount of staffing during peak operational times.
Upgrade the City’s budgetin g enterprise performance management software system to streamline the budget development and reporting processes. Complete installation of the new citywi de point of sales (POS) cashiering system that will accept payments for most serv ices, programs, fees, and charges. City Departments that collect revenue using in -person or online payments utilize a variety of software applications that impact cashiering operations. This system will streamline the process and ensure trans actions are recorded properly in the citywide financial system.
Modernize the City’s public website to provide additional functionality, improved look/feel, and enhancements to better serve the public. Implement advanced multi-factor authentication technology across the organization into all public-facing and cloud applications. This solution will create a single sign-on dashboard view of publ ished applications and one universal directory for all City and Public Safety users.
Implement modern Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution. UEM is the key to addressing mobile and traditional end-user devices, maintaining continuity of end-user computing operations, and deliveri ng seamless IT administration in the current era of expanded remote work.

The 12th Street Complete St reets Project, a $10 million project, partially funded by grant funds, which includes the City’s first cycle track, a separated and buffered bike lane to create a safer bicycling experience on a busy corridor, was completed. The Parking Division resumed full par king management operations after reducing services in response to the pandemic.
New electric vehicle chargers in public on-street parking were installed at two additional locations in the Central City, incorporating artwork on the chargers, as part of the City’s curbside charging pilot.
The Facilities Division completed constr uction of Fire Station 14 and the North Natomas Community Center and Aquatics complex.
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
Construction of the compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling system at the Meadowview City Service Complex was co mpleted. This new system will allow Recycling and Solid Waste Vehicles to “slo w fill” overnight so are filled in the morning and ready for operation. Prior to the completion of the fueling systems City vehicles had to go to a third party for fueling.
DEPARTMENT EFFICIENCIES
The CNG station, partially funded th rough a Sacramento Air Quality Management District grant, will increase fueling effici ency time and costs for the City’s waste collection fleet.
The City Hall Garage was re-opened after a fire to support the parking needs of surrounding businesses and employment centers.
The Parking Division developed an on line service and payment portal for purchases of discounted Commuter Spec ial parking. This provided local employees a flexible and contactless option to pay and plan for their parking needs ahead of time.

MEASURE U
The following chart summarizes the Department’s Measure U programs.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Facilities & Real Property Management Division
This measure indicates how quickly work order requests are comple ted. Work order categories include 'emergency' with a one-day performance standard, 'priority' with a seven-day performance standard, and 'standard' with a 30-day performance standard.
Fleet Management Division
This measure indicates what percentage of overall City vehicles are available to operators for City services. The division is collecting information to measure staffing ratios and estimated service demands fo r each shop to appropriately staff each shop to sustain adequate vehicle availability.
The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32) requires California to reduce its greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The Ci ty's Fleet Management Division Sustainability Policy states that annual purchases of fl eet replacement vehicles will include a minimum commitment of 50% for alternative fuel and/or alternatively powered vehicle replacements by 2018, and 75% by 2025. Starting in FY2019/20 target includes renewable diesel purchases, not previously included.
Maintenance Services Division
The Maintenance Services Division is respons ible for the City's street infrastructu re system which includes over 3,118 lane mil es of paved roadway. The Maintenance Services Division's goal is to work towards a Pavement Condition Index of 70 (good) from its current rating of 59 (fair). Beginning in FY2016/17 the City updated the method of calculating pavement condition from the Pavement Quality Index to the industry standard Pavement Condition Index.

FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
The Maintenance Services Division is responsible for the street infrastructure system which includes the maintenance of 3,118 l ane miles of paved roadway. Patching potholes is an essential service and on average, the Maintenance Services Division patches 1,281 potholes per month. Our customer commitment is to respond to 311 complaints for potholes within 48 hours of receiving the request.
The City's Urban Forestry Program maintains, sustains, and enhances Sacramento's tree canopy through a variety of programs.
Urban Forestry staff (internal and contractors) prune 890 trees monthly on average consistent with our goal of maintaining a less than seven-year pruning cycle for all our 75,000 plus public trees. However, beginning in FY2019/20 a lack of staffing has created a backlog of trees pruned.
Parking Services Division
The Parking Division is responsible for the collection and maintenance of over 6,300 paid on-street parking spaces within the Central City. In the last two years, the Division has worked with downtown and midtown merchants to repurpose metered spaces to accommodate customer pickup and delivery as well as implementing Al Fresca dining options. Throughout the City, there are over 5 million parking meter customer transactions per year.
* Beginning in the last quarter of FY2019/20 results were affected by significant decline in revenue due lack of on-street parking meter utilization due to the pandemic.
The Sacramento Marina has 475 available boat slips, which can accommodate boats varying in length from 25 to 50 feet. Historically, the Marina had an average 94 percent occupancy rate; however, during the Great Recession the occupancy rate dipped as low as 44 percent. With the improved economy, new management, and new ameni ties in place, the Marina had a 23 percent increase in occupancy rates from FY2015/16 to FY2020/21.
Recycling & Solid Waste Division
California state law requires that at least 50 percent of the waste generated within the city limits be diverted from landfills . While the percent of City-collected residential waste diverted from landfill is below the State threshold (as shown above), as a jurisdic tion, the City government collection rate exceeds t he state requirement at 52 percent diversi on for Calendar Year 2020. The difference is largely due to the recycling of constructi on and demolition material collected by commercial waste haulers, which is not part o f the City's residential collection service. Educating customers on pr oper recycling is central to s eeing these percentages grow. Ove r 50 percent of the Division's annual outreach expenditures are spent on increasing diversion.
In a given year, City Integrated Waste Equipment Operators service almost 18 million garbage, recycling, and yard waste containers.
Complaints of missed collections represent the highest volume of solid waste related calls to City 311; however, the actual number of verifiable service misses represents only a fraction of one percent of the total containers collected annually. In FY2017/18, t he Department redefined the term "misses" to include "kicks," which is when the driver goes back the same day to collect the misse d containers if the incident is reported prior to 2:00 pm. The tota l number of complaints of missed pickups per 1,000 refuse acco unts serviced remained the same in FY2018/19 compared to FY2017/18.

Utilities
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
Utilities
The mission of the Department of Utilities is to provide dependable, high-quality water, wastewater, and storm drainage services in a fiscally and environmentally sustainable manner.
The Department of Utilities (DOU) provides and maintains water, wastewater, and storm drainage services and facilities for its custom ers, City ratepayers. These services are crucial to safeguard the health and safety of the public, support economic development, protect the environment, and improve the qualit y of life in our city. DOU works in conjunction with other City Departments as well as regional, state, and federal agencies in the operation, maintenance, developmen t, and rehabilitation of water resources infrastructure.
DOU is organized into four operating divisions and the Offi ce of the Director. The operating divisions consist of Business Se rvices, Engineering and Water Resources, Water and Wastewater & Drain age. This organizational stru cture allows for increased collaboration across business functions and enabl es DOU to focus efforts on customer priorities.

FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
innovation, resiliency, and excellent
customer service, engaging in local,
state, and national legislation and policy,
furthering public education, and
stakeholder outreach; planning for
current and future generations by
protecting, preserving and enhancing
water resources, the environment, and
the community.

drinking water of the highest quality to
City residents and cust omers; performs
water quality monitoring and regulatory
reporting to ensure compliance with all
state and federal drinking water
regulations; engages in research and
development to optimize and improve
processes and procedures.
Wastewater & Drainage: Operates and maintains facilities for wastewater and storm drainage pumping,
levee systems, the combined stormwater-
wastewater system, along with a large
network of stormwater and wastewater
pumping facilities.
PROGRAMS/SERVICE HIGHLIGHTS
The Accelerated Water Meter Program (AWMP) was successfully completed in the fall of 2021, bringing the City’s metered services to 99.9%. Assembly Bill 2572, enacted in 2004, mandated the installation of water meters on all water service connections by January 1, 2025. DOU developed a water meter implementation program to meet this requirement and in 2015, the Council passed a resolution to accelerate the program.
The program has been completed three years ahead of the state mandate. The AWMP was finished on time and 8% under budge t. The AWMP was one of the largest programs ever undertaken by the DOU.
The McKinley Water Vault Project (MWVP) was successfully completed in the fall of 2021. The MWVP was on schedule and 3% under budget. The MWVP is a 6-million- gallon underground storage tank that will hold combined stormwater and wastewater during storm events when the combined sewer system is at capacity. Responded efficiently and effectively to a 500-year storm event, working to minimize water quality impacts and ensure water supply reliability.
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
DOU staff works closely with the City’s Attorney’s Office and the Department of Community Response to respond to homeless encampments on critical infrastructure. The departments coordinate closely on issuing notices, offering services to the campers over a three-week period, and cleaning up sites so that maintenance can be performed on critical infrastructure. The DOU Water Conservation Program provided 1,553 high-efficiency toilet rebates, 205 clothes washer rebates, 188 tu rf conversion rebates resulting in 214,145 square feet of turf conversion to water wise landscapes, 37 irrigation upgrade rebates, and 221 smart irrigation c ontroller rebates through February 2022. Also, through a partnership with SMUD, the team provided 1,211 rebates for showerheads, aerators, smart controlle rs, and water kits. Through the Leak Free Sacramento Program, 26 projects were completed in disadvantaged and low- income communities to repair leaks ranging from 13 to 1,933 gallons per hour. The office also distributed 280 rain barrels through an effort held around the Imagine a Day Without Water event in October. Furthermore, the program also generated 12,434 leak notification letters leading to 1,344 free leak investigations and 329 Water Wise House Calls to help customers save water and money. It is estimated that these efforts saved 74,688,140 gallons of water over the last year. A ballot initiative to impose a new Stor m Drainage property fee moved forward to property owners for a vote in March of 2022, and 52.3% of the voters approved the new fee. The fee could generate over $20 million in revenue annually and fund vital improvements to the City’s aging stormwater infrastructure. City Council approved the Storm Drainage property fee on April 12, 2022. The revenues and expenditures of the new fee will be managed in a separa te fund called the Storm Drainage Property Fee Fund (6021).
DEPARTMENT EFFICIENCIES
Issued a Notice of Preparation for bot h the Groundwater Replacement and Water+ programs. These progr ams will provide future water supply projects for both the City’s groundwater and surface water supplies.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Engineering & Water Resources Division
The ratio of design budgets to actual costs for the completed desi gn of capital improvement projec ts is tracked manually to ens ure our water, wastewater, and storm drainage systems' projects are reliably developed in a cost-effective manner.
Office of the Director Division
The percentage of water conservati on achieved citywide is not only a required performance measure to comply with City Council Resolution for water conservation, but also a key performance i ndicator to measure effectiveness of the Department's water conservation outreach and enforcement efforts. This percentage is compared to our 20% by 2020 gallons per capita per day target as mandated by Senate Bill X7-7 (2009).
Operations & Maintenance Division
The number of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) is measured to ensure regulatory compliance and to gauge the effectiveness of operational activities and capital improvements that have been implemented to ac hieve this compliance. The primary permit with respect to the separated system is the waste discharge requirements permit issued by the state Water Resources Control Board. The goal of this permit is to minimize SSOs from the separated system.
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
24 SECTION - 24
Citywide and Community Support
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
Citywide and Community Support
This section includes City costs, programs and revenues that are not directly associated with an individual department. Belo w are the major expenditures budgeted in Citywide and Community Support (Citywide).
Employee Benefits and Insurance
The costs associated with employee benefits and insurance are budgeted in Citywide. Employee Benefits ($8.6 m illion - $8.0 million in the General Fund and $0.6 million in the Measure U [MU] Fund):
o Employee leave payouts authorized by labor contracts; o Vacation/sick leave termination payoffs;
o Unrepresented employee labor adjustments; and
o Paid City leave as negotiated in the current labor contracts.
Budget is transferred from this program to departments to reimburse actual costs incurred. Reimbursements are done on a pr oportional basis if the actual costs incurred by departments exceed the avail able resources in the Citywide and Community Support budget.
General Liability & Auto Li ability (GL&AL) ($31.4 million - $29 million in the General Fund and $2.4 million in the MU Fund) – The City contracts with Bickmore Risk Services (Bickmore), to estimate the annual budget needed to cover claim costs and expenses that will occur in the coming fiscal year and the program’s liability for outstanding claims. Bickmore utilizes hist orical City loss data to forecast the upcoming fiscal year’s cost of claims and expenses at various confidence levels.
The City uses the recommended 80% c onfidence level when budgeting for claim costs and expenses. The General Fund contribution for GL&AL is budgeted in this Citywide, while contributi ons from the other funds ($6.8 million) are budgeted in the managing department’s section (e.g., Solid Waste Fund contributions are in Public Works).
Retired/Transfer Employee Benefits
The costs associated with re tired and transferred employee retirement and healthcare benefits are included in the Citywide budget.
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) ($12.5 million - $9.15 million in the General Fund) – The cost of retiree/beneficiary health (1,770 participants), dental (2,672 participants), vision (1,412 participants), and out-of-area (302 participants) insurance benefits as of June 30, 2019.
OPEB Trust ($0) – The City funds OPEB benefits on a pay-go basis. In 2014 the City established a California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) Fund to address the increasing OPEB liability ($298 million as of 6/30/2021). As of April 1, FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
2022, the balance in the CERBT was appro ximately $88.6 million. To address identified shortfalls identified in the FY2021/22 G/MU Fund five-year forecast, the annual budget for the OPEB Trust was eliminated. Future funding to the Trust will continue to be transferred from year-end budgeted pension savings.
Sacramento City Employees’ Retirement System (SCERS) ($0) – The SCERS fund is fully funded. As of FY22/23, the City will stop contributions. There were 876 participants (3 active) as of June 30, 2021.
California Public Employees’ Retirem ent System (CalPERS) ($147.5 million - $120 million in the General Fund and $9.1 million in the MU Fund) – Although CalPERS costs are not budgeted in Citywide and Co mmunity Support, this represents the City’s total contribution as well as the amounts negotiated fo r the employee paid portion of the employer cost ($4.7 m illion). Costs are budgeted in the managing department’s budgets.
Citywide Maintenance Contracts and Utilities
The costs associated with citywide maintenance are included in the Citywide budget.
Information Technology Maintenance and Support Contracts ($2.8 million - $2.5 million in the General Fund and $0.3 m illion in the MU Fund) – Funds major contracts and support for the City’s hum an resources, financial and budgeting systems. The non-General Fund and non-MU Fund costs associated with these services are recovered through the cost allocation plan.
Multi-tenant City-owned Buil dings ($4.6 million in t he General Fund) – Covers anticipated expenses associated with ja nitorial, security, utilities, and pest management services at various multi-tenant City-owned buildings (e.g., City Hall complex). The costs for non-General F und operations are recovered through the City’s cost allocation plan.
Sacramento County Charges and Assessments
Citywide includes $4.6 million in the General Fund for Sacramento County Charges and Assessments. State law authorizes counties to charge other local government entities for the cost of assessing and co llecting property tax revenues, for property-related assessments including flood control, and for costs associated with county jail operations (jail booking fees). In addition, the City pays its fair share of property-based assessments for various improvement districts and taxe s on property owned by the City but located outside of City boundaries. For FY2022/23 and FY2023/24, the cost for collecting property tax revenues could potentially doubl e (from $1.7 million to $3.3 million) due to the replacement of their property tax system. According to State law (SB 2557), counties are able charge cites and special districts to recover costs.
Multi-Year Operating Projects (MYOPs)
The Citywide Support budget includes $10.9 millio n ($1.2 million in the General Fund, $5.5 million in the MU Fund, and $4.2 million in the Americ an Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Reinvestment Fund) in MYOPs. These projec ts support operating activities that cross FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
fiscal years (fleet acquisitions, utility rate assistance program, MU programs, studies, etc.) and are detailed on Schedule 9. Additional f unding for departmental MYOPs is included in the various department operating budgets. F unding for these programs is moved into specific projects after the budget is approved.
Administrative Contingency
The General Fund Administrative Continge ncy may be used throughout the year, in accordance with Sections 4, 5, and 6 of th e Budget Resolution, to adjust budgets for unforeseen expenses. The Administrative C ontingency is $2 million, an increase of $1 million over the prior year budget.
Office of Arts and Culture (OAC)
The Citywide budget includes $0. 9 million from the General Fund for the OAC, which includes $150,000 budgeted in the CCS D epartment. The City’s OAC budget includes funding for professional services, grant programming and education, a 1.0 FTE Program Specialist to further the City's efforts with the Film Industry, and the MYOPs included in Schedule 9 for Cultural Arts (I17000700).
Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency (RASA)
In response to AB 26 (2011) which eliminated all redevelopment agencies in California, the City became the recognized RASA effect ive February 1, 2012, for all non-housing functions and obligations. As the RASA, t he City is entitled to be reimbursed for administrative costs associated with managing the transfer of non-housing assets, legal concerns, cash and debt management, and other administrative obligations. Under AB 26, the administrative budget to pay for staff costs to perf orm RASA duties is limited to 3% of the property tax allocated to the RASA. The City receives $500,000 in revenue for staff support provided by the City Attorney’s Office, Finance, and other departments.
Miscellaneous
The miscellaneous costs below are included in Citywide.
Elections ($500,000) – The elections budge t funds the cost of regular and special elections, as well as increased costs associated with special ballot measures and petition verification.

Major Tax Revenues – All discretionary tax revenues including property, sales, and Utility Users Tax are budgeted in Citywide. Additional detailed information and a breakdown of budgeted revenue is availabl e in Schedule 6. The expenditure budget ($600,000) represents c onsultant contracts for providing sales tax and Utility Users Tax revenue estimates.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) – The Ci ty's TOT rate is currently 12%. The General Fund receives 2% of the 12% tax rate ($5.3 million in FY2022/23); the balance goes to the Community Center Fund.

FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
City/County Office of Metropolitan Water Planning (CCOMWP) CCOMWP (6.0 FTE) – The Water Fund provides reimbursements for the City’s share of costs associated with this joint effort with the County of Sacramento and other cost-share partners. The City recovers the costs asso ciated with providing administrative and financial support to CCOMWP.
Sacramento Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo)
The City provides administrative and financial support to LAFCo (1.0 FTE). All costs associated with this support are fully reimbursed by LAFCo.
Other Local Partners
The following is a list of loca l partners and the City’s contribution that is included in the Budget.
Property and Business Improv ement Districts (PBIDs) ($14.5 million) – PBIDs were created as a financing mechanism where property and business owners approve a special assessment to improve their commercial districts. The City currently collects and remits the assessm ents for 18 different PBIDs throughout the City.
Visit Sacramento ($2.3 million) – Visit Sacramento receives $1.6 million from the 10% TOT that is deposited in the Community Center Fund (amount and increases are voter approved) and $631,265 from the MU Fund.
Downtown Sacramento Partnership (D SP) ($375,000) – DSP funding covers programs and activities along the Old Sacramento waterfront and downtown area.
Greater Sacramento Area Economic C ouncil (GSEC) ($206,269) – Annual contribution to support work conducted at GSEC. Contribution cost based on the per capita rate of $0.40 and the estimated population of Sacramento (515,673).
Sacramento Public Library Authority (SPLA) ($23.5 million, $14.3 million from the MU Fund) – The City has 12 libraries located within the City boundaries which are operated by the SPLA under a joint powers authority.
The library’s mission is to provide the residents of Sacramento the services they expect while focusing on community needs for reading, learning needs of our youngest residents, creating welcoming s paces and providing experiences that include Science, Technology, Engine ering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) learning opportunities for the entire co mmunity as well as increasing equity for our most vulnerable populations.
In 2014 and 2016, voters in the City of Sacramento declared their support for the Sacramento Public Library by passing two parcel taxes, Measure B and Measure X, for Library services which provide $9.3 million for the oper ation of the City libraries and to maintain and add services, staff and technology.
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
Without the parcel taxes, the Library would be in further danger of having to close facilities and reduce services, thus impac ting vulnerable youth, job seekers and those who rely on high-speed internet access and computing resources for access to basic life services. Both measures include a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) provision that requires prior-year reductions to General Fund operating revenue to be restored if the City provides additional funding to its non-public safety programs.
The City’s MOE is $7.6 million and is provided from G/MU contributions.
Despite these victories at the ballot box, the Library continues to face financial challenges. Because of changes in the election cycle and the need to combine the two parcel taxes, the City and the Library must return to the voters in 2024. A failure at the ballot box would impact thos e communities with the highest needs, especially those for whom the library bridges the digital divide by providing the only access point for high-speed internet, access to computers and services such as live homework help, afterschool programming and early learning.
The Library has used various strategies to maintain high levels of services for all City residents, but still has fiscal challenges. This includes assessing and repurposing staffing levels; utilizing on-call and temporary staff; reallocating hours in all locations; leveraging value-added se rvices to provide enhanced customer experiences; renegotiating service agreements and changing operations to satisfy the demands of the diverse communities served by the Library.
In an effort to address these fiscal challe nges, the MU Fund increased the library operations budget to $14.3 million, $700, 000 more than FY2021/22. The City will add another $0.5 million in FY2024/25.
While these increases will help address some of the financial challenges with operating the City’s libraries, they do not address the ongoing structural deficits as well as operational needs. A far more seri ous issue is the history of unaddressed deferred maintenance for the buildings owned by the City. These unfunded capital needs amount to at least $8.9 million for the City’s libraries. This amount does not include the $10 million that would be requi red to rebuild and replace the Martin Luther King Jr. Library. Over the past two fiscal years, the Council allocated a total of $7.5 million to the No rth Sacramento Library Relocation project (C15000850).
In March 2022, the City applied for approx imately $15.6 million in grant funding from the California State Li brary Building Forward Program Grant for five capital projects. If funded, the City would need to contribute a match of $7.8 million.
City staff will continue to work with Library staff to identify opportunities to address the structural gap between revenues and expenditures.
General Information
The following information below is not included in the Citywide Budget but is detailed to provide additional information on portions of the City’s FY2022/23 Proposed Budget.
FY2022/23 Proposed Budget
Economic Uncertainty Reserve (EUR)
The EUR was established in FY1983/84 and on April 26, 2016, the Council revised the EUR Policy (included in the Financial Policies section) which established:
A minimum reserve level of 10% of budgeted General Fund revenues; and A goal of achieving and maintaining the value of two months of regular ongoing General Fund expenditures (approximately 15.9% of General Fund revenues or $117 million in FY2021/22) in the reserve.
On June 12, 2019, the EUR Policy was amended to include MU resources in determining the annual set aside amount necessary to maintain a minimum G/MU Fund reserve level of 10%. Further, the policy includes a goal of achieving and maintaining the value of two months of regular ongoing G/MU expenditures in the reserve.
The EUR balance is estimated to be $62.4 million on July 1, 2022, which is approximately
8.4% of budgeted FY2021/22 G/MU revenues. The Budget includes a proposed transfer $11.7 million to the reserve at year-end, provided these resources are not needed during the year. This contribution will bring the balance of the EUR to approximately $74.1 million or 10% of budgeted revenues; achieving the minimum reserve level.
Other Sources and Uses
Other sources and uses in the governmental, enterprise, internal and other governmental funds total $12.8 million.
Beginning Fund Balances
Beginning fund balances of the government al, enterprise, internal, and other governmental funds total $450 million which represent ava ilable resources from the FY2021/21 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and anticipated activity in FY2021/22. Beginning balance by fund is in cluded in the Budget Schedules section (Schedules 2A-2C).
Ending Fund Balances
Projected ending fund balances of the gove rnmental, enterprise, internal, and other governmental funds total $410 million. Ending balance by fund is included in the budget schedules section (Schedules 2A-2C).
