PUBLIC HEARING
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: June 5, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Rochella Clayton, Acting City Manager;
Joshua Dramitinos, Deputy Director Economic Development Department: Economic Development
Subject: Development Code Amendment 23-01 (Short-Term
Rental Program) (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Hold a Public Hearing; and

2. Introduce for first reading, read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC-1628 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopting the Short-Term Rental Program, and approving Development Code Amendment 23-01 amending Section 19.02.020 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) in order to establish a Short-Term Rental Program in the City of San Bernardino; and finding that Development Code Amendment 23-01 is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act; and

3. Schedule the adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1628 for July 3, 2024.

Executive Summary
This agenda item is the first reading of the proposed Short-Term Rental Program, a program to provide property owners with short-term rental opportunities. This would include the management of the number of units, address the potential impacts of shortterm rentals, and allow for the future collection of Transit Occupancy Tax (TOT) similar to hotels. The fiscal impact is estimated to be a potential annual future contribution of approximately $324,000 in TOT to the City’s General Fund.

Packet Page. 201
Background
On December 13, 2022, the Planning Commission received and filed an update on the state of short-term rentals in the City and forwarded a recommendation to the Mayor and City Council to direct staff to develop a regulatory scheme for short-term rentals within the City’s residential districts.

On January 18, 2023, the Mayor and City Council recommended that staff work to adopt a regulatory scheme for Short-Term Rentals.

On February 27, 2023, the Planning Commission received a report from staff and conducted a workshop to provide direction to staff that included or considered items to regulate Short-Term Rentals.

On November 14, 2023, Development Code Amendment 23-01 was continued by the Planning Commission to the meeting of December 12, 2023.

On December 12, 2023, the Planning Commission, by a unanimous vote, adopted Resolution No. 2022-031PC forwarding a recommendation (Attachment 3) that the Mayor and City Council approve Development Code Amendment 23-01, amending Section 19.02.020 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) in order to establish a Short-Term Rental Program in the City of San Bernardino; and found that Development Code Amendment 23-01 was exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act.

On February 21, 2024, staff took forward a recommendation to the Mayor and City Council for the adoption of a regulatory scheme for Short-Term Rentals. At that meeting, staff was directed to conduct additional analysis on enforcement measures and the effects of a Short-Term Rental Program on the City’s housing market.

Discussion
A Short-Term Rental (STR) refers to a residential dwelling unit, that is offered or provided to a paying guest by a short-term rental operator for thirty (30) or fewer consecutive nights. The term "short-term rental" does not include a hotel, motel, inn, or bed and breakfast inn.

Statewide STRs are a part of California’s tourism market, but when left unregulated, they can lead to unwanted negative effects caused by those uses, such as excessive noise and parking problems within existing residential neighborhoods. As such, many communities have recently adopted or proposed restrictions on STRs. Restrictions can include establishing designated areas for STRs, limiting the number of days a year a property can be rented, or banning STRs entirely.

The City of San Bernardino does not currently have an ordinance that expressly regulates STRs and has experienced the negative effects of excessive noise, parking problems and discarded trash on surrounding properties, resulting in numerous Packet Page. 202
complaints, creating a threat to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the community. While the demand for vacation rental units within the City is evident, it is necessary to establish regulations that will provide a reasonable balance between the short-term rental operations and the recognized need to protect the residential character of existing neighborhoods.

Table 1 below provides a summary of the proposed regulations for short-term rental operations.

Proposed Amendment
In order to ensure that short-term rentals are compatible with the neighborhoods in which they may be located, this amendment will update definitions and establish development and operational standards regulating short-term rentals in the City of San Bernardino.

Development Code Amendment 23-01 amends SBMC Title 19, as summarized below:
§ Chapter 19.02 (Basic Provisions), Section 19.02.050 (Definitions) is updated to add definitions for those terms used specifically within the Short-Term Rental Program (Attachment A, Exhibit A).
§ Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones), Table 04.01 (Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses) is updated to add short-term rentals as a permitted use within all single-family and multi-family zones (Attachment A, Exhibit B). § Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones), Section 19.04.030(2)(W) (Residential Zones Specific Standards – Short-Term Rentals) is added to establish development and operational standards for short-term rentals (Attachment A, Exhibit C).

The Police Department has reviewed the regulations contained within the proposed Development Code Amendment 23-01 and has concluded that none of the proposed changes pose any challenges to enforcement.

Packet Page. 204
Implementation
The regulations governing short-term rentals will take effect 30 days following approval of Development Code Amendment 23-01 by the Mayor and City Council. As currently written, the ordinance does not provide for any exemptions for rentals with an existing business license. All properties currently operating as a short-term rental will be required to register and obtain a Short-Term Rental Permit. The City will send all properties potentially operating as a short-term rental a letter notifying them of the newly adopted regulations and will provide operators with 60 days to comply or face enforcement measures.

Property owners of Short-Term Rentals may be responsible for reporting and paying into the City’s Transient Lodging Tax/Transit Oriented Tax (TOT). In order for the City to impose this tax on STRs, the City is required to amend and update Ordinance No.

MC-1484, which outlines regulations on the collection of the City’s TOT. Staff plans to bring forward an updated Ordinance for public consideration to the next eligible election. Once approved and certified, reporting and collection of TOT would be effective the first day of the first quarter following the election (January 1, 2025).

Staff members may exercise the option to postpone the commencement of the program from the effective date, aiming to finalize an agreement with a software platform that will facilitate the seamless implementation of the Short-Term Program regulations. This decision allows for a more comprehensive and efficient integration of the necessary tools and resources for the program's successful launch.

General Plan Goals and Policies
The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future housing development, as follows:

Land Use Goal 2.1: Preserve and enhance San Bernardino’s unique Neighborhoods.

Land Use Goal 2.2: Promote development that integrates with and minimizes impacts on surrounding land uses.

San Bernardino contains a wide range of neighborhoods accommodating an assortment of lifestyles. Each neighborhood has, or can have, its own unique character that is a source of pride for the residents. Neighborhood character is defined by many factors: what the neighborhood looks like, safety and security, maintenance of streets and green spaces, and more. But more importantly, neighborhood character is an image in the minds of those who live and work there and in the perceptions of those who visit.

The rise of short-term rentals within the City has created the need to establish regulations to ensure the compatibility between short-term rentals and the residential character of neighborhoods in which they may be located in order to mitigate any potential conflicts that may arise from their operation.

Packet Page. 205
The adoption and implementation of Development Code Amendment 23-01 is consistent with the City’s General Plan by allowing for the development of Short-Term Rentals within residential zones in a manner that will prevent negative impacts to the existing residential neighborhoods and the community at large.

California Environmental Quality Act
The Planning Division conducted an environmental evaluation in connection with the proposed Development Code Amendment 23-01 and concluded that it is exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines due to the fact that the proposed Development Code Amendment will not create significant effects on the environment as it establishes standards for the rental of existing residential properties in areas zoned for residential use. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Development Code Amendment 23-01 aligns with Key Target Goal No. 3: Improved Quality of Life and 4(b): Economic Growth and Development – Update the General Plan and Development Code. Specifically, the program will update the Development Code to establish standards to help protect the residential character of neighborhoods in which short-term rentals may be located. The amendment to the Development Code will ensure consistency with the City’s land use designations as required by the City’s General Plan.

Fiscal Impact
There is no immediate General Fund impact associated with this item. Once adopted, and Ordinance No. MC-1484 has been amended, this item has the future potential to contribute approximately $324,000 into the General Fund Transit Occupancy Tax.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Hold a Public Hearing; and

3. Schedule the adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1628 for July 3, 2024.

3 Land Use Goal 2.1: Preserve and enhance San Bernardino’s unique Neighborhoods.

Land Use Goal 2.2: Promote development that integrates with and minimizes impacts on surrounding land uses.

San Bernardino contains a wide range of neighborhoods accommodating an assortment of lifestyles. Each neighborhood has, or can have, its own unique character that is a source of pride for the residents. Neighborhood character is defined by many factors: what the neighborhood looks like, what it feels like, how well it is maintained, etc. But more importantly, it is an image in the minds of those who live and work there and in the perceptions of those who visit.

The adoption and implementation of Development Code Amendment 23- 01 is consistent with the City’s General Plan by allowing for the development of Short-Term Rentals within residential zones in a manner that will prevent negative impacts to the existing residential neighborhoods and the community at-large.

Finding No. 2: The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

Finding of Fact: The adoption and implementation of Development Code Amendment 23- 01 is in the interest or furtherance of the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare through the establishment of regulations that will preserve the residential characteristics of residential zoning districts and mitigate the harm to the residential zoning districts that result from shortterm rentals.

Additional Analysis:
 Based on a national average, STR’s increase rent in a jurisdiction by $125 per month.
 National Bureau of Economic Research, UCLA, and University of Southern California, published a research paper concluding that “a 10% increase in Airbnb listings leads to a 0.42% increase in rents and a 0.76% increase in house prices.

Moreover, we find that the effect of Airbnb is smaller in zip codes with a larger share of owner-occupiers, a result consistent with absentee landlords taking their homes away from the long-term rental market and listing them on Airbnb.”  STR’s have had a conservative growth of 17% annually since 2011. While past results don’t necessarily determine future trends, there are some estimates that show STR’s will grow by an estimated 11% to 19% annually through 2032. This means STR’s will continue to effect rent prices & home prices in their respective jurisdictions. Packet Page. 248
Additional Analysis:
 Harvard Business Review – February 2024
“Short-Term Rentals are not the biggest contributor to rising rents” Lack of Housing Units
Growing Demand for Housing
Heightened Construction Costs
“Governments wishing to ensure Short-Term Rentals won’t reduce housing affordability can design regulations…” to do just that Primary Resident Property
 UCLA Anderson Review – February 2024
“Hotels across categories and sizes benefited when laws restricted short-term rentals, according to the study findings. On average, hotels in areas with restrictions on short- term home rentals reported a 3.5% larger revenue increase than in places without restrictions.

Background
Section 701 of the City Charter provides that the City Manager shall prepare and submit a proposed budget to the Mayor and City Council for the ensuing fiscal year. The Budget provides a financial plan for all City funds and activities for the upcoming fiscal year and includes a multi-year capital plan. This year, the City will propose a new biennial budget that encompasses Fiscal Years 2024/25 and 2025/26.

The City has adopted a biennial budget planning process. While this process includes adopting the budget annually, every two years the City goes through the process of budgeting for the full two years, forecasting revenue, expenditures, and capital Packet Page. Packet Page. 25734
spending. During the interim years the City completes a more informal mid-biennial update, which includes a review of the forecast considering economic trends, and adjustments to the second-year budget as necessary or as recommended by the City Manager. Fiscal year 2023/24 was an interim year, and FY 2024/25 marks the beginning of a new two-year budget cycle.

Discussion
The Fiscal Years 2024/25 and 2025/26 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget recommendations were guided by the Mayor and City Council’s Strategic Targets and Goals for the City of San Bernardino. The four overarching categories of these Targets and Goals are:
• Improved Operational and Financial Stability
• Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community
• Improved Quality of Life
• Economic Growth & Development
The purpose of the public hearing this evening is to review and discuss the proposed biennial budgets for Fiscal Years 2024/25 and 2025/26 (Attachment 1). The proposed budget contains a full review of the estimated available resources and the recommended allocations of these resources. The budget document (Attachment 1) provides an in-depth look at the programs and services provided by the city and allows the Mayor and City Council to make critical policy decisions.

The overview provided in this report includes a forecast of revenues, expenditures, and a review of fund balance for the General Fund, the capital improvement plan, including ongoing projects, and proposed additions. A brief overview of the proposed comprehensive budget totals across all funds is also described below.

To ensure transparency in the budgeting process, the City of San Bernardino has made the full proposed budget available online through our partners at OpenGov here:
https://stories.opengov.com/sanbernardinoca/published/RcJljI4Ai Proposed Fiscal Years 2025 & 2026 Budget Book.

Overview of FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Proposed Budget – All Funds The FY 2024/25 Proposed Budget totals $331.7 million in revenues and $312.7 million in expenditures, and the FY 2025/26 Proposed Budget totals $350.4 million in revenues and $330.1 million in expenditures across all budgeted funds. These amounts reflect an increase of approximately 15.7% in revenues and 18.1% in expenditures from the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget of $286.7 million in revenues and $262.9 million in expenditures.

Packet Page. Packet Page. 25835
FY 2024/25 & FY 2025/26 TOTAL PROPOSED BUDGET
The City's Budget includes governmental, proprietary, and internal service funds, including grants and other restricted funds designated for specific services and purposes provided by the higher levels of government (i.e., Federal, State, and County governments and agencies). Many of the City’s special and restricted funds receive ongoing revenue streams, while some are one-time competitive grants and require careful monitoring and record-keeping.

In some instances, a fund may have available fund balances that have accumulated over time and are expended as the need arises and/or to complete specific projects within assigned timeframes. As such, the Budget contains many separate funds with specific accounting and reporting requirements per government regulations and, in some cases, statutes.

The City’s General Fund is not restricted and can be used to provide a broad array of public services. It is comprised of multiple revenue sources, including taxes, for example, property tax, sales and use tax, transaction and use tax (Measure S), transient occupancy tax (hotel tax), cannabis sales tax and others, user fees, fines, facility rentals, development-related fees, and other miscellaneous revenues.

Operating Budget – All Funds
The Proposed Budget increase of over $47.8 million, or 18.1%, for a total of $312.7 million in the Operating Budget portion of the FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Budget across all funds is primarily attributed to addressing the City Council’s goal of Focused, Aligned Leadership, unified Community, and Improved Quality of Life. The most notable increases are Animal Services, with an increase of $5.7 million in expenditures, and the Liability Fund, with an increase of $11.7 million in expenditures.

Capital Budget – All Funds
The Capital Budget of $13.2 million and $17.5 million in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26, respectively, across all funds, reflects the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget. Additional details regarding the CIP Budget were presented at the April 17, Fund

Overview of FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Proposed Budget – General Fund The Proposed FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 General Fund Operating Budgets total $237.7 million in FY 2024/25 and $253.0 million in FY 2025/26. This reflects an increase of 19.6% from the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget of $198.8 million. Despite a budgeted use of fund balance of $1,129,963 in FY 2024/25, the budget reflects a small surplus of $204,764 in FY 2025/26, continuing the positive trajectory for the General Fund. The budgeted use of fund balance in FY 2024/25 supports the additional positions added through the FY 2023/24 Mid-Year follow-up item, as well as additional items proposed by City Council.

General Fund Revenue Highlights
The FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Proposed Budget for General Fund Revenues totals $236.6 million and $253.2 million respectively. FY 2024/25 represents a 13.6% increase from the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget. Measure S (transaction and use tax) and Sales and Use Tax continue to be the main revenue sources within the General Fund, representing 47% of the total revenues for both fiscal years. These revenue sources have stabilized from the levels seen during the pandemic; the forecast includes a 1-5% increase in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 over the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget.

Several revenue categories within the General Fund are expected to continue to increase, such as investment income, use of money and property, utility user tax, other taxes, and licenses and permits. These revenues are used to cover public safety, parks and community services, development services, and other activities and programs.

Below is a table with the forecast revenues for FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26.

Packet Page. Packet Page. 26037
Sales and Use Tax and Measure S (Transaction and Use Tax) Sales and Use Tax in the City of San Bernardino represents 25% of the total General Fund revenues and is estimated to be $58.6 million and $62.7 million in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26, respectively. Measure S in the City of San Bernardino represents 23% of the total General Fund revenues and is estimated to be $53.6 million and $57.3 million in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26, respectively. Fairly strong job numbers and the relatively low unemployment rate allowed consumer spending to remain solid in FY 2023/24, and the City continues to see strong performance in these categories while much of the State is in a period of decline.

Cannabis Tax
Cannabis Tax revenue came in under budgetary expectations for FY 2022/23.

Statewide, cannabis tax collections are down by 9.5% for the calendar year 2023, primarily attributed to illegal operators cutting into the sales of legal operations and consequently diminishing the amount of tax collected on legal sales. Analysts predict that statewide crackdowns on illegal operators should mitigate this somewhat in the next couple of years. Locally, legal operators, with the exception of one who is no longer in possession of a city license to operate, are up to date with their payments.

FY 2023/24 is anticipated to end the year with $2,800,000 in total cannabis tax collections. Cannabis Tax in FY 2024/25 and 2025/26 is budgeted at $3,460,800 and $3,703,056, respectively. While these are significant increases, they should not be unrealistic if the state is working to resolve the issue of illegal operations.

Investment Income and Use of Money and Property
The Investment Income and Use of Money and Property categories represent just under 2% of the total General Fund revenues but have significant increases from the Packet Page. Packet Page. 26138
FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget. Investment income is estimated to be approximately $1.0 million in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26, compared to the $540,000 adopted in FY 2023/24. Use of Money and Property is estimated to be $2.6 million and $2.8 million in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26, respectively, compared to the $604,000 adopted in FY 2023/24. These increases are indicative of the higher interest rates in the current market. As the City invests strategically and higher interest rates continue, this category of revenue is likely to trend upward.

Utility User Tax
The Utility User Tax (UUT) category represents 12.2% of the total General Fund revenues and is estimated to be $28.9 million and $30.9 million in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26, respectively. This category is estimated to see a 38% increase from the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget due to the increase in energy prices related to inflation and other factors impacting the cost of providing utilities. As the city continues to invest in economic development, increased commercial and industrial activity results in higher utility consumption, which drives additional UUT. This tax has been trending downward over time and is not anticipated to continue to increase over the long term.

Both residential and commercial consumers are investing in solar, working toward energy efficiency, and engaging in energy-conserving behaviors.

Licenses & Permits
The Licenses & Permits category consists of various fees for licensing for businesses, building permits, construction permits, etc., and represents 7% of the total General Fund revenue. This category is estimated to be $17.0 million and $18.2 million in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26, respectively, which is a 33% increase from the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget. Though interest rates remain high, San Bernardino remains one of the most affordable cities in California for housing. Increases in new homes and population drive developer-related fees and other ancillary revenues like taxes when new businesses follow new residential developments.

General Fund Expenditure Highlights
The Proposed General Fund Budget for FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 includes total expenditures of $237.7 million and $253.0 million, respectively. Of this amount, 63.2% of the total budgeted expenditures are personnel-related costs such as full-time salaries, part-time salaries, health insurance, CalPERS retirement, and CalPERS unfunded liability. These amount to $150.3 million and $161.4 million for FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26, respectively, an increase of over 21.3% altogether from the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget of $131.4 million. 33.6% of the total budgeted expenditures are related to ongoing maintenance, operation, contractual, legal, internal service charges, and capital costs. These account for $79.8 million and $82.8 million for FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26, respectively, an increase of over 30% altogether from the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget of $63.0 million. The remaining 3.2% of the total expenditures are related to from the General Fund to the Animal Services Fund. In FY Packet Page. Packet Page. 26239
2024/25 and FY 2025/26, the estimated transfer from the General Fund into Animal Services is $7.7 million and $8.5 million annually. The FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Proposed Budget for expenditures includes the following significant items:
• An increase of $1.0 million to the Legal Services department to better align with the anticipated expenses in the next few years while several high-profile cases move towards completion;
• An increase of $10.0 million in internal service charges to the General Fund to support the Liability Fund;
• A $1.3 million increase in utilities, driven by higher utility costs discussed above; • A $1.5 million increase in Community Development & Housing to support the implementation of the General Plan update;
• A $1.3 million increase in building maintenance within Public Works to support the Strategic Initiative of increased security services to secure public spaces; • A $4.4 million increase in the annual required CalPERS unfunded liability payment;
• A $1.0 million increase in the annual required CalPERS contribution; • Positions increased by $1.4 million during the FY 2023/24 Mid-Year follow-up item.

The following table summarizes the estimated expenditures for the General Fund FY 2023/24 year-end and the proposed expenditures for FY 2024/25 and 2025/26 by department. The individual department increases beyond existing service levels, and staffing follows.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PROPOSED EXPENDITURES
FY 2024/25 & FY 2025/26
Packet Page. Packet Page. 26340
Personnel Costs
During Fiscal Year 2023/24, 103 positions were added, excluding any positions added through grants. As part of the Strategic Initiatives proposed in Fiscal Year 2023/24, the City added 35 positions. To enable Animal Services to adequately serve the anticipated doubling of the Regional Partnerships for Animal Services, the City added 34 positions, 3 of which are included in the 35 added with the Strategic Initiatives.

Fiscal Year 2024/25 marks the last year of MOUs entered into beginning in 2021 with all bargaining units. The City is currently undergoing a comprehensive classification and compensation study; the potential impact of this study was considered during the development of the biennial budget. The staff that serves the City of San Bernardino is a vital resource to both the organization and the community, and it is an important step to ensure that our compensation and benefits packages are competitive in the marketplace. The collective impact of adding new positions increases salaries, benefits, and, ultimately, pension liability, all of which impact the General Fund operating budget.

Beginning FY 2024/25, the total authorized full-time equivalent positions will be 942, exclusive of City Council Members and the Mayor.

Mayor
The April 17, 2024, budget workshop indicated that the proposed amount for the City Council in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 amounts were $316,585 and $328,257, respectively. The City Council has proposed the addition of one (1) full-time Administrative Assistant within the Mayor’s Office to allow for adequate support of the Mayor. Currently, there is only one (1) support staff member within the Mayor’s Office.

This change in the Mayor’s personnel makes the new proposed budget for FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 $403,756 and $425,651, respectively. The Mayor’s Office proposed full-time equivalent positions will be increased by one (1), bringing the authorized personnel count to two (2), exclusive of the Mayor.

City Council
The April 17, 2024, budget workshop indicated that the proposed amount for the City Council in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 amounts were $1,219,448 and $1,266,453, respectively. After feedback from the Mayor and City Council regarding their increased budgets for Meetings and Conferences, the City Manager has revised their travel budgets to increase by 10% from their previous budget of $6,000 as opposed to doubling their total travel budget, bringing each Ward’s travel budget to $6,600.

Furthermore, City Council has proposed the addition of two (2) full-time Administrative Assistant within the Council Office to allow for adequate support of the Council Members. Currently, there are only two (2) support staff members within the Council Office. This change in the City Council’s budget makes their new proposed budget for FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 $1,243,619 and $1,300,847, respectively. The Council Packet Page. Packet Page. 26441
Office proposed full-time equivalent positions will be increased by two (2), bringing the Council Office authorized personnel count to four (4), exclusive of City Council members.

City Clerk
On April 17, 2024, during the FY 2024 Mid-Year follow-up item, the Mayor and City Council authorized the addition of one (1) Records Management Specialist within the Department. The FY 2024/25 impact for this position is $101,497, and $5,000 for IT and other miscellaneous costs, bringing the total impact to $106,497. The total FY 2025/26 cost is forecasted to be $113,618. The Department’s proposed full-time equivalent positions will be 9.

City Manager’s Office
The City Manager’s Office proposed FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 budget increase is due to the positions approved by City Council FY 2023/24. These positions consist of two (2) Deputy City Managers, one (1) Auditor I, one (1) Auditor II, and one (1) Legislative & Government Affairs Manager. This change in the City Manager personnel makes the new proposed budget for FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 $5,243,556 and $5,805,481, respectively.

Community Development & Housing
The Mayor and City Council also requested the inclusion of two (2) additional Community Development Technicians to complete permit checks during the April 17, 2024, budget workshop. The FY 2024/25 cost for a Community Development Technician, inclusive of both salaries and benefits, is $92,816, and $5,000 for IT and other miscellaneous costs, the cost for two positions for FY 2024/25 is $195,632. The forecasted cost for FY 2025/26 is $220,566. With the addition of the above and the transfer out of Real Property Services to Economic Development, the Department’s full-time equivalent positions will be increased to 76.

Economic Development
Economic Development is a new department, added with the Strategic Initiatives. A director has yet to be hired as of the writing of this report. The initial plan was to add a director, three (3) managers, and an administrative assistant, as well as transfer three (3) existing full-time positions: a manager, a project manager, and a specialist from Community Development & Housing, for a total of eight (8) positions. In February of 2024, a Deputy Director position was added, and Real Estate Services, with three (3) positions, was also transferred from Community Development.

Public Safety - Police
The Police Department's focus areas are quality of life for the community, public engagement, organizational effectiveness, employee development, recruitment, and retention.

Packet Page. Packet Page. 26542
The Police Department added thirteen (13) critical positions during FY 2024, not including the three (3) Park Ranges and one (1) Park Ranger Supervisor, which were initially added to the Parks and Recreation Department and then later transferred to the Police Department. On April 17, 2024, during the FY 2023/24 Mid-Year follow-up item, the Mayor and City Council authorized an addition of eleven (14) positions within the department. These positions consisted of six (6) Community Service Officers, five (5) Police Record Technicians, and three (3) Police Dispatchers. The FY 2024/25 cost for the fourteen (14) positions, inclusive of both salaries and benefits, is $1,073,135, and $70,000 for IT and other miscellaneous costs, bringing the total cost for FY 2024/25 is $1,143,135. The total forecasted cost for FY 2025/26 is $1,283,679.

A recent study conducted to evaluate the number of staff needed to effectively respond to calls for service determined that the police dispatch center is significantly understaffed, given the number of calls for service. With the addition of the dispatchers through the FY 2023/24 Mid-Year follow-up item, the Police department is requesting the addition of one (1) Civilian Range Master, one (1) Police Records Manager, one (1) Police Dispatch Supervisor, and one (1) Police Dispatch Manager. The FY 2024/25 cost for the four (4) positions, inclusive of both salaries and benefits, is $649,658, and $42,797 for IT and other miscellaneous costs, bringing the total cost for FY 2024/25 to $692,455. The forecasted cost for FY 2025/26 is $757,485.

The Police Department is also requesting an ongoing operational increase of $700,000 to contract custodial transport services to transport individuals who have been arrested to the County facility in Rancho Cucamonga. Currently, patrol officers must transport individuals to the facility, which takes a significant amount of time that could be better used within the community. A custody transport service will transport multiple individuals at once, removing the need for patrol officers to take this time from their patrol duties.

The Police Department’s FY 2024/25 Proposed Budget is $132,847,479, a 10.6% increase over FY 2023/24 Amended Budget. This increase includes the addition of the $2 million city-wide security contract, which was previously included in the Public Works budget, and the $506,000 Park Ranger Program, which was previously included in the Parks and Recreation budget. These transfers account for 21% of the increase.

The Quality-of-Life Team, added with the Strategic Initiatives in October 2023, accounts for another 13%. With the addition of the above, the Department’s full-time equivalent positions will be increased to 478.

Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Focus areas for the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department include improvements to the City’s parks and community centers, ensuring access to services for seniors, increasing the services offered at the parks and community centers, and adding to youth sports and aquatics.

Packet Page. Packet Page. 26643
Parks and Recreation added six (6) positions in FY 2023/24, including the four (4) positions for the Park Ranger Program that were later transferred to the Police Department. These and the other two (2) positions, the Deputy Director, and a Community Recreation Program Supervisor, were added with the intent to improve the quality of service to the community and the ability of our Parks and Recreation staff to provide service within our parks.

Parks and Recreation has four (4) Program Coordinator positions that are currently grant-funded through December 31, 2024. The City is proposing that these four (4) positions be fully funded through the General to continue expanding and improving services to the community.

The Parks, Recreation and Community Services budget is proposed to increase just over 6.9% for FY 2024/25, from $5.6 million to $6.00 million, and increase another

6.5% in FY 2025/26, not inclusive of any potential grants or new programming. The Department’s proposed full-time equivalent positions will increase to 29.

Public Works, Operations and Maintenance
Focus areas for the Public Works Department include clean and safe streets, infrastructure resilience, community outreach and education, and environmental stewardship. Department management is also focused on recruitment and retention since operational challenges due to understaffing are an ongoing issue.

The Public Works FY 2024/25 Proposed Budget is $35,591,030, a 2.1% increase over the FY 2024 Amended Budget. It should be noted that the Public Works proposed budget decreased by the amount of the city-wide security contract, which was transferred to the Police Department. This contract is approximately $2 million annually, which represents a 5% decrease in the Public Works budget. If the security contract is not factored into the FY 2023/24 budget, the increase year-over-year is approximately 8%.

Public Works is requesting new software and equipment for NPDES at a one-time cost of $78,000 and ongoing costs of $75,000 annually. The division's employees will also need four (4) iPads to interface with the new software in the field at a cost of $6,500.

Public Works is requesting the following additional positions: one (1) Engineering Technician and one (1) NPDES Inspector II. The FY 2024/25 cost for the two (2) positions, inclusive of both salaries and benefits, is $212,669. Technology and other miscellaneous costs are included in the request for software and iPads discussed above. The forecasted cost for the positions for FY 2025/26 is $240,521.

Five (5) total positions were added for Public Works in FY 2023/24. These were one (1) Land Development Engineer, three (3) Engineering Project Managers, and one (1) Capital Projects Manager through the Strategic Initiatives.

With the addition of the positions detailed above, the Department’s proposed full-time Packet Page. Packet Page. 26744
equivalent positions will be increased to143.

Library
The Library Services Department's focus areas include continuing to increase staffing in the branch libraries, increasing community resources, recruitment and retention, and staff training and development.

The Libraries are still well under the staffing level they enjoyed before the City declared bankruptcy in 2012. While the City has developed efficiencies as a lean organization, Library Services faces challenges directly resulting from understaffing.

During FY 2023/24, Library Services added two (2) full-time positions, one (1) Library Technician and one (1) Management Analyst. While the positions added over the last three years have allowed the libraries to expand hours and improve service, they are still behind and require additional support to provide the level of service that the community deserves.

The Library Services Department is requesting one (1) additional Library Technician to continue improving branch service levels. The cost for one (1) position in FY 2024/25, inclusive of both salaries and benefits, is $82,787. The forecasted cost for FY 2025/26 is $92,102.

The Library Services Budget is proposed to increase 58.8% from the FY 2023/24 Amended Budget of $3,133,028 to the Proposed FY 2025 Budget of $4,975,030 as the City invests more in library operations, services, and technology. The FY 2025/26 budget is proposed to remain consistent year-over-year.

Two (2) full-time equivalent positions, the Library Network Administrator, and the Library Network Technician, will be transferred from Library Services to the IT Department. The library technology requires significant upgrades to both hardware and software. Moving these positions to the IT Department will allow more effective and efficient management of the upgrade process and Library Services technology in the future.

With these transfers and the addition of the Library Technician, the Department’s fulltime equivalent positions will be increased to 21.

Human Resources & Risk Management and Finance & Management Services Human Resources and Finance are internal service departments that ensure publicfacing departments have the necessary resources and support. Internal service departments include Human Resources, Finance, and Information Technology Services. Human Resources and Finance are included in the General Fund Budget, and IT is a separate Internal Service Fund.

The focus areas for Human Resources and Risk Management include policy updates, the organization-wide classification and compensation study, and improvements to the Packet Page. Packet Page. 26845
recruitment and onboarding process.

The HR Department is requesting the addition of one (1) Senior Office Assistant to assist with administrative tasks. HR is responsible for a significant amount of confidential information and files that are required by law to be maintained for a specific number of years, depending on the type of information. This Senior Office Assistant will be invaluable in helping the Department ensure that all confidential information is appropriately maintained according to law. The FY 2024/25 cost for the Senior Office Assistant, inclusive of both salaries and benefits, is $69,959, and $5,000 for IT and other miscellaneous costs, for a total in FY 2024/25 of $74,959. The forecasted cost for FY 2025/26 is $83,099.

HR added one (1) HR Technician, one (1) HR Analyst II, and one (1) Supervising HR Analyst in FY 2023/24. With the addition of the Senior Office Assistant, the Department’s full-time equivalent positions will be increased to 18.

Finance and Management Services focus areas include recruitment and retention, employee development, and continuing to update policies. Since 2021, the Department has updated the Investment Policy, the Travel Policy, the Reimbursement Policy, the Cash Handling Policy, the Procurement Card Policy, the Purchasing Policy, and others.

All policies require ongoing monitoring to ensure relevance, compliance, and alignment with the law.

Finance is requesting the addition of one (1) Accounting Technician III. This position will aid the Department with basic accounting duties, allowing higher-level accountants to focus more on journal entries and complex tasks. The FY 2024/25 cost for this position, inclusive of both salaries and benefits, is $89,677, and $5,000 for IT and other miscellaneous costs, bringing the total cost for FY 2025 to $94,677. The forecasted cost for FY 2025/26 is $108,879.

Other Funds
Animal Services Fund
Animal Services continues to focus on community education, improving access to spay and neuter services and working to find a full-time veterinarian to work with the shelter. The shelter has improved outcomes for animals in its care and has now entered regional partnerships with Fontana, Rialto, and Colton in addition to the existing partnerships with Loma Linda and Grand Terrace. Starting July 1, the new partnerships are anticipated to double the number of animals that the shelter serves.

The FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Proposed Budget for Animal Services will increase by $5.7 million over the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget. Major shelter improvements and increased staffing levels are necessary to accommodate the increased animal intake, which, as discussed above, is expected to double. The three new partnership cities will contribute to the increased operational costs according to the number of animals brought in from each city and will contribute to the costs of a new shelter in the future.

Packet Page. Packet Page. 26946
The City has been preparing for this increase for the last several months, hiring additional staff and increasing capacity at the shelter. On December 6, 2023, the Mayor and City Council approved the hiring of 31 additional positions in Animal Services, and three positions were authorized as part of the Strategic Initiatives on October 18, 2023, for a total of 34.

The Animal Services Department FY 2024/25 Proposed Budget is $10,341,916, an increase of 42.1% over the FY 2023/24 Amended Budget of $7,278,049. This increase will allow the City to improve the services provided to the community as well as prepare for the increase in animals from the new regional partnerships. The FY 2025/26 budget is proposed to increase by 11.7% year-over-year to $11,551,824. The Department’s proposed full-time equivalent positions will be 71.

Liability Fund
The Liability Fund has experienced significantly increased claims in the last eighteen months. Staff recommended an increase during the FY 2023/24 Mid-Year Report of $7 million to complete the fiscal year. With stop-loss insurance that does not take effect until a claim reaches a $5 million threshold, lawsuits against the City can be extremely expensive. The FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Proposed Budget for the Liability Fund will increase by $11.7 million over the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget. These additional funds support the trend of increasing litigation and liability costs over the past eighteen months. Bringing this fund to the appropriate expenditure levels allows litigation and liability costs to be covered within the adopted budget. As older existing claims against the City are settled, staff anticipates that the need for this fund to have a budget of this magnitude will no longer be necessary. Risk Management staff will monitor the claims and liabilities closely for developing trends.

Information Technology Fund
The Information Technology Fund is an Internal Service Fund. Costs associated with this fund are charged to the departments within the General Fund and the Animal Services Fund.

IT is currently focused on upgrading the City’s IT infrastructure, with an emphasis on cybersecurity. Funds are allocated annually to replacing aging servers, switches, and other critical hardware to ensure the City is not at risk. Additionally, the Department conducts ongoing risk assessments and provides training to personnel city-wide to prevent cyberattacks rather than waiting to mitigate damage after the fact.

The FY 2024/25 IT Services Budget is $9,549,488. This is a decrease of just over $3 million from the FY 2024 Amended Budget; however, the funding for the ERP implementation budget is encumbered and will carry over into FY 2024/25.

IT is not requesting any new positions; however, the Inland Empire Media Group (IEMG), with one (1) full-time equivalent position and several part-time positions, is Packet Page. Packet Page. 27047
being transferred from the General Government Department in the General Fund to the IT Fund, two (2) full-time equivalent Library IT positions, the Library Network Administrator and the Library Network Technician, currently in the Library Services Department, are moving to the IT Services Fund, and the ERP Manager position is also moving from Finance to IT. These transfers will increase the IT staffing from 15 full-time equivalent positions to 19.

Fleet Services
The FY 2024/25 budget is $6.1 million. The proposed FY 2024/25 budget is an increase over the FY 2023/24 adopted budget; the FY 2023/24 amended budget includes contracts that were not fulfilled before the end of FY 2023 which carried over.

Workers Compensation Fund
The Workers Compensation Fund has historically been consistent in its annual increases year-over-year. The increase from FY 2023/24 to FY 2024/25 is approximately 3%. The forecast increase from FY 2024/25 to FY 2025/26 is approximately 4%.

General Fund Balance Overview
The estimated year-end fund balance for the General Fund is $173.1 million in FY 2024/25 and $162.8 million in FY 2025/26. These numbers are estimates and are subject to change based on actual revenue and expenditures within the given fiscal years, as reported in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

Capital Improvement Plan and Projects
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes ongoing and proposed new projects.

There are currently 71 ongoing active projects, which limits the capacity to add new projects.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: June 5, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Rochelle Clayton, Acting City Manager;
Kris Watson, Director of Animal Services
Department: Animal Services
Subject: Authorize and Appropriate Funding for Animal Services for the Preparation of the Regional Partnership Agreements (All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2024-096:

1. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY 2023/24 operating budget by $350,000 to cover the cost of salary and benefits of additional positions added as a result of the Regional Partnership Agreements for Animal Services; and

2. Increase the Animal Services department authorized full-time position count from 40 to 71.

Executive Summary
It was established that the City of San Bernardino would enter into a Regional Partnership for Animal Services with the cities of Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, and Rialto. In order to accommodate the additional animals this Regional Partnership Agreement will bring, the Department needed to increase the number of staff to care for the animals at the shelter and connect with the community to facilitate reunification with owners, encourage adoption, fostering and volunteering from the public. The costs for staffing in this fiscal year will only be applied to May and June, is estimated to be approximately $350,000.00.

Background
Earlier this year, the Department of Animal Services received notification that Riverside County Animal Services would be discontinuing shelter services for the cities of Colton, Fontana and Rialto on June 30, 2024. Subsequently, these three cities in our region Packet Page. 296

Page 2 ends

are in need of a shelter to contract for services beginning with July 1, 2024.

The cities of Colton and Fontana previously contracted with the City of San Bernardino for shelter services; those contracts ended in 2014 (Colton) and 2015 (Fontana) when those cities began contracting with the County of Riverside. The City of Rialto previously contracted with the County of San Bernardino until 2018 when they transferred to Riverside County for shelter services. The cities of Grand Terrace and Loma Linda currently contract with the City to provide shelter services.

Animal Services realized that this is a significant investment in the welfare of animals in our city and in our region. In an effort to lessen the impact on the General Fund of our city, as well as any partner Cities, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-188 on December 6, 2023, that established a Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation to actively raise funds for programs and services to benefit all the animals in the shelter, as well as programs which support pet owners in our community. The Nonprofit is named “Friends of San Bernardino Animal Services Foundation”.

Discussion
Animal Services worked with the Human Resources Department to recruit, interview, and hire additional staff approved in the regional partnership. In an effort to ensure the Department is ready to accept animals from the partner cities on July 1, 2024, the new staff need to be hired and trained by the end of June 2024.

To maximize public access and move animals through the system quickly, the Department will be open to the public seven days a week from 10:00AM to 5:00PM and will be open late on Wednesdays until 7:00PM. These expanded hours will enable pet owners to look for and redeem their lost pets or adopt new pets daily and would be beneficial to members of our community who may have difficulty coming to the shelter with the current hours.

The total cost for the additional positions with fully burdened benefits is estimated to be $2,794,657.00 annually. Due to the terms of the Regional Partnership Agreement, the City of San Bernardino will be reimbursed by the five cities in the Agreement after July 1, 2024. They will be billed quarterly for staffing costs based on the actual amount incurred with salary and benefits. The cost for staffing in this fiscal year will only be applied to May and June and is estimated to be approximately $350,000.00. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Partnering with the other cities in our region aligns with Strategic Target #2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community be implementing a community engagement plan and building a culture that attracts, retains, and motivates the highest quality talent, Strategic Target #3: Improved Quality of Life by partnering with other entities in the Region, ensuring consistent, stable animal services for our residents and those of neighboring cities.

Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact on the General Fund for FY 23/24 will be $350,000, which will be transferred to the Animal Services Fund. This transfer will cover the salaries and benefits of additional positions created due to the Regional Partnership Agreements for Animal Services.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2024-096:

2. Increase the Animal Services department authorized full-time position count from 40 to 71.

STAFF REPORTS

1. Report on Use of Measure Z Funds for Fiscal Years 2016/17 through 2018/19 Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Receive a report on the use of Measure Z funds and accompanying independent auditor reports for fiscal years 2016/17 through 2018/19 approved by the Measure Z Citizen’s Oversight Committee on August 10, 2020; and

2. Consider the recommendations provided by the Measure Z Citizen’s Oversight Committee to adopt clear fiscal policies and procedures for the use of the City’s revenue. The City’s fiscal policies should be established to ensure the City’s long-term fiscal stability, providing clear direction so that the City’s finances are managed in a manner that will provide for the delivery of quality services; ensure a balanced budget; and establish reserves necessary to meet known and unknown future obligations. The Committee further recommends that the City Council direct staff to prepare these fiscal policies to be reviewed by the Oversight Committee for input prior to being presented to the City Council for adoption. Should voters approve a 1% general district sales tax in November 2020 (renewing and increasing the Measure Z district sales tax scheduled to sunset on March 31, 2022) the Committee recommends the City Council provide clear direction as to how this revenue will be allocated including measurable goals prior to the November 2020 general election. The Mayor and City Council will need to establish clear guidelines along with an expenditure plan that will enable the Committee to participate in the review and oversight of the use of this revenue in keeping with the City’s priorities including a balanced distribution of resources to support:
• Public safety, emergency response and violence intervention services • Cleaner and safer neighborhoods
• Retaining and attracting new businesses
