File ID: 2022-01358 7/19/2022 Discussion Item 26.
The resolution would place a charter-amendment measure on the ballot to establish the Sacramento Children’s Fund (Fund) to provide additional and sustainable funding for children and youth. The measure would allocate to the Fund an amount of the City’s unrestricted General Fund equivalent to 40% of the cannabis business operations tax revenue. The Fund would be used solely for children and youth services. This ballot measure would majority approval by the voters. The next election for which the ballot measure is eligible is November 2022.
The proposed language for the ballot question is as follows:
“Shall the measure adding section 120 to the City of Sacramento Charter, setting aside a certain portion of the General Fund into a separate Sacramento Children’s Fund for the purpose of supporting youth development and youth violence prevention programs - such as services for homeless youth and foster children; mental health counseling; substance-abuse treatment, prevention, and early intervention; and after-school activities - for children and youth less than 25 years old, be adopted?” Proposed Uses and Goals of Children’s Fund
As proposed, monies in the Sacramento Children’s Fund can be appropriated by the City Council for the following purposes:
a. Positive youth development and youth violence prevention programs to children and youth less than 25 years old with a strategic priority on serving children and youth most impacted by poverty, trauma, and violence; and
b. Administration of the Fund, including strategic planning, grant making, grants management, data collection and evaluation, technical assistance and organizational capacity-building, and communications and community engagement.
Specific goals of the fund include:
· Supporting the mental health and emotional wellness of children and youth. · Preventing and reducing homelessness among children and youth, including youth transitioning out of foster care.
· Preventing and reducing youth substance abuse.
· Preventing and reducing youth violence.
· Supporting the healthy development of young children, ages 0 to 5 years old.
Types of services that could be funded include, but are not limited to:
· Mental health counseling and wellness services;
· Substance abuse prevention services;
· Street outreach, violence intervention, and case management; · Youth workforce development including career pathways to jobs that advance the City’s climate action goals (“green jobs”);
· Summer and after-school programs; and

· Early childhood education and family support services.
IRS-certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations and public agencies will be eligible to receive funding through an open and transparent public process. Public agencies receiving monies from the Fund must demonstrate a dollar-for-dollar cash match equivalent to the total amount of Fund monies received.
Evaluation and Accountability
The ballot measure requires that a Five-Year Strategic Investment Plan (Plan) be developed by a newly established Sacramento Children’s Fund Planning and Oversight Commission, in consultation with the Sacrament Youth Commission and submitted to the City Council for final adoption. The Plan will inform and guide City Council's appropriation of resources from the Fund. Each Plan will include the following:
· Problems and challenges to be addressed in each of the Fund’s five goal areas; · Target populations to be served within each of the Fund’s five goal areas, using multiple data sources to identify those populations most impacted by poverty, trauma, and violence; · Service performance and youth outcome metrics to evaluate progress toward achieving the Fund’s five goals;
· Strategies to achieve outcomes for the target populations for each of the fund goals; and · Alignment, leveraging, and coordination of other public and private resources, including resources of the County of Sacramento, local school districts, and philanthropy, to maximize program performance and impact beyond what Sacramento Children's Fund monies can achieve alone.
The ballot measure would create a nine-member Planning and Oversight Commission (Commission) with the Mayor and each City Councilmember appointing one member. The Commission will be responsible for:
a. Recommending to the City Council Five-Year Strategic Investment Plans for City Council action;
b. Reviewing and accepting annual Service Performance Reports, Three-Year and Five-Year Youth Impact Evaluation Reports, and fiscal and performance audit reports, and submitting any policy recommendations to the City Council for City Council consideration; and All services to children and youth supported by the Fund will be evaluated to assess progress toward service performance and youth outcome metrics established in each Plan. Annual Service Performance Reports and Three-Year and Five-Year Youth Impact Evaluation Reports that assesses progress toward service performance and youth outcome metrics Plan will be reviewed by the Commission and subsequently submitted to the City Council for review. These reports will also be made available to the general public.
Finally, the ballot measure will establish a “baseline” for children and youth services in the amount of unrestricted General Fund expenditures made on eligible services to children and youth under the age of 25 in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. Each year thereafter, beginning in 2025, the City Auditor will verify that the City did not reduce the amount of unrestricted General Fund expenditures for eligible City of Sacramento Page 3 of 6
File ID: 2022-01358 7/19/2022 Discussion Item 26.
services in the prior fiscal year below the established baseline. Should the City Auditor determine that expenditures did fall below the baseline, the expenditure adjustment will be made in the following fiscal year.
Policy Considerations: The City of Sacramento has a significant population of children and youth, many of whom live in poverty and are at risk. In the City of Sacramento, approximately 23% of residents are under the age of 18 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 American Community Survey, 5-year estimates), and approximately 22% of residents under the age of 18 live in poverty (U.S. Census Bureau, 2015-2019 American Community Survey). In the Sacramento Unified School District (SCUSD), the school district in the area where approximately 52% of Sacramento’s school-aged youth (5-17 years old) are enrolled, 71.5% of district students are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged.
Research shows that children growing up in low-income communities are more likely to experience a lower quality of life as adults, including poorer health, education attainment, and employment outcomes. The effects are compounded by the barriers children and their families encounter whey trying to access physical and mental health care. Furthermore, the challenges and inequities experienced by young people in low-income communities were only exacerbated by COVID-19.
Research has long demonstrated that providing children and youth with the appropriate supports and opportunities can lead to better long-term outcomes for them and increase the chances that they grow into health, productive, and engaged young adults. While cities are not solely responsible for the provision of children and youth services, they can play a significant and critical role in the positive development of their youth. Furthermore, investing in children and youth programs can result long- term savings for a city and the potential of an expanded future tax base.
In 2017, the City Council approved the Citywide Youth Development Plan, which states the City’s vision for its youngest residents: All Sacramento children and youth are valued and reach their fullest potential. To achieve this vision, the City operates and externally funds an array of children and youth services.
While the City of Sacramento does operate and externally fund an array of children and youth services, the sustainability of these programs and services are always uncertain. In fact, in the last recession, while the City’s Police and Fire Departments sustained cuts to their operating budgets of
8.5%, the Parks Department saw its operating budget cut by 40%. Economic recessions impact low- income communities disproportionately and arguably are the times when children and youth in those communities need support the most.
Moreover, research shows a key factor in a youth’s positive development is the consistent presence of a caring, non-family member adult in their lives to whom they can turn for guidance and help.
Programs that are beholden to one-time funding sources and/or uncertain revenue streams are unable to ensure that their adult staff will remain a constant in the lives of young people they serve City of Sacramento Page 4 of 6

and in essence decrease the overall quality of the program itself.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: Not applicable.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: Creating a dedicated funding source for child and youth programs in the City of Sacramento is in the long-term interests of the City in its efforts to achieve the vision outlined in the Council-adopted Citywide Youth Development Plan. Youth development and violence prevention programs can reduce juvenile crime as well as truancy, leading to academic success.
Improved academic success increases earnings potential over an individual’s lifetime and can be a key to breaking the cycle of poverty. For the City, investing in children and youth programs can result long-term savings and the potential of an expanded future tax base.
If the City Council directs placement of this measure on the November 8, 2022 ballot, the City Council must direct the City Clerk and City Attorney to complete administrative duties related to the placement of the measure as outlined by the City Code and California Elections Code.
As provided in California Elections Code section 9280, for any measure approved for placement on the ballot by the City Council, the City Council may direct the City Clerk to transmit a copy of the measure to the City Attorney for preparation of an impartial analysis of the measure. The analysis is for the purpose of showing the effects of the measure on existing law and the operation of the measure. The analysis shall be printed in the official Voter Information Guide preceding the arguments and shall not exceed 500 words. The impartial analysis is due in the Office of the City Clerk no later than July 29, 2022 at 4:30 p.m. An impartial analysis will provide both the City of Sacramento and the voters of the city with impartial information regarding the measure.
To secure its position in the selection of ballot arguments for the Sacramento City measures in the event the City Clerk receives more than one argument for or against the measure, the City Council may select who will author and file the ballot argument(s) on the City Council’s behalf.
For City Council measures, the City Council, or any councilmember(s) authorized by the City Council, may file a written argument in support of or opposition to a measure. If the City Council, or authorized member(s), do not submit an argument for a City Council measure, any individual voter who is eligible to vote on the measure, or bona fide association of citizens, or any combination of voters and associations, may submit an argument in support of or opposition to any measure.
Up to five authors’ names will be printed with the argument. If the City Council, as a body, chooses to submit an argument, at least one Councilmember should be designated as the City of Sacramento Page 5 of 6
File ID: 2022-01358 7/19/2022 Discussion Item 26.
author.
If more than one argument is received for a given position, the City Clerk will follow the selection criteria outlined in the Sacramento City Code section 1.16.070, which provides for the following author priority: (a) The City Council, or members authorized by the council; (b) charter officer or officer of department director; (c) individual voters who are eligible to vote on the measure; or (d) a bona fide association of citizens, or combination of voters and associations.
The primary arguments are due in the Office of the City Clerk on July 29, 2022, no later than 4:30 p.m. If arguments are appropriately received, each side will be given the opportunity to provide a written rebuttal. The rebuttal arguments are due in the Office of the City Clerk no later than 4:30 p.m. on August 8, 2022. Both supporting and opposing arguments must be received in order for a rebuttal argument to be submitted.
Financial Considerations: It is estimated that the allocation of General Fund revenue towards the Childrens Fund would be approximately $10 million annually for children and youth programming.
The maintenance of effort required in the General Fund for these types of programs/services will limit Councils flexibility to provide funding for other Citywide program needs and/or respond to changing economic conditions should General Fund program reductions become necessary. At the same time, the baseline maintenance of effort will decrease by the same percentage as any decrease in General Fund revenues. This proposal is not revenue neutral to the General Fund.
The estimated cost for a citywide measure is $28,228.9 and $4,063.81 for each additional page over four in the County Voter Information Guide (if applicable). There are sufficient funds in the elections budget to cover the cost of adding this to the ballot.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
