CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 12, 2023
ITEM TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Rejecting All Bids and Re-bidding the 1232 Cherry Street Building Demolition Project C2216.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution to reject all bids and re-bid the 1232 Cherry Street Building Demolition Project (“Project”) C2216.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this recommendation and no additional funding is needed at this time. Funding for the Project comes from C2216, which has approximately $250,000 available that was approved for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2022-23.
BACKGROUND:
During the FY 2022-23 budget process, the City Council approved the Project to demolish the existing building at 1232 Cherry Street and relocate the alley to its final location prior to the construction of the City’s affordable housing project.
Demolishing the building prior to the approval of the high-density affordable housing project will accommodate additional workspace for the contractor, relocate the alley to its final location, and allow for the relocation of underground infrastructure and utilities.
The final bid set documents were prepared and signed by the City Engineer on May 1, 2023.
ANALYSIS:
On May 8, 2023, the City advertised for bids for construction of the Project. On May 16, 2023, the City held a pre-bid meeting and bids were opened on May 30, 2023. Four bids were received with the following results:
Contractor Bid Amount
Engineer’s Estimate $200,000 - $250,000
Brannon Corporation $101,994.50
San Jose Demolition, Inc. $186,800
OBS Engineering, Inc. $260,170
Penkor General Contractors Inc. DBA Penkor Wrecking $273,200
9.d
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 13
The lowest apparent bid was submitted by Brannon Corporation in the amount of $101,994.50.
Brannon Corporation made a clerical error in the tabulation of their bid schedule, which is significantly under the Engineer’s Estimate and does not accurately reflect the cost of the work.
The second lowest bid was submitted by San Jose Demolition, Inc. in the amount of $186,800.
Staff reviewed and determined San Jose Demolition, Inc. was not a “responsible bidder” and ineligible for contract award as they, and their listed subcontractor, do not have the required licensing to perform asbestos abatement for the Project.
The third lowest bid was submitted by OBS Engineering, Inc. However, the bid amount from OBS Engineering, Inc. exceeds the engineer’s estimate.
After evaluation of the bids, staff recommends rejecting all bids and re-bidding to ensure receipt of responsible, responsive, and competitive bids.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the City Council include:
1. Adopt a Resolution to reject all bids and re-bid the 1232 Cherry Street Building Demolition Project C2216; or
2. Do not adopt the Resolution; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 12, 2023
ITEM TITLE: Deny Claim of Elizabeth Iniguez.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council deny the claim of Elizabeth Iniguez as recommended by the Sedgwick representative.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None for this action.
BACKGROUND:
This item is coming before the Council to act on the claim submitted by Elizabeth Iniguez. Staff recommends that the City Council deny the claim based on Sedgwick’s guidance.
The Tort Claims Act. California Government Code Sections 900, seq., mandates that all claims for money or damages against a public entity must be presented in writing to the public entity prior to filing suit. Generally, claims concerning personal injury, wrongful death, damage to personal property, or damage to crops must be presented to the public within six (6) months of the accrual of the claim. All other claims, principally claims on contracts and damage to real property, are subject to a one-year statute of limitations for presentation of the tort claim. Once a tort claim is received by the public entity, the entity has forty-five (45) days to act on the claim. A claim can be settled or rejected. If no action is taken within 45 days, the claim is deemed rejected by operation of law on the last day.
Claims Processing in San Carlos. When the City receives a claim, the claim is immediately forwarded to claims examiners at Sedgwick for investigation. After Sedgwick investigates the claim, Sedgwick provides a recommendation to the City on the handling of the claim.
About Sedgwick. Sedgwick is a leading global provider of technology-enabled risk, benefits and integrated business solutions. In July 2019, Sedgwick acquired York Risk Services Group (“York”). York was originally hired through the Pooled Liability Assurance Network Joint Powers Authority (“PLAN JPA”), and Sedgwick will continue claims administration services to provide claims administration services to the City. The City Council approved the City’s participation in the PLAN JPA (previously known as the Association of Bay Area Government Pooled Liability Assurance Network or “ABAG PLAN”) on November 27, 2017 and designated the Administrative Services Director and Senior Management Analyst as primary and alternate PLAN JPA Board members.

ANALYSIS:
Elizabeth Iniguez filed a claim against the City for property damage when parked at a public parking lot. The claimant alleged that on December 15, 2022, she parked her vehicle in the Wheeler Plaza parking lot adjacent to a bank. The window, on the passenger side front door of claimant’s rental car, was broken and damaged. The claimant is claiming $380 in damages.
This does not appear to be a case of liability against the City. The City does not owe a duty to provide security for the public parking lot. For that reason, Sedgwick has recommended formal rejection of this claim. Security cameras were recently installed at the Wheeler Plaza parking lot.
In the future, access to recorded video images may be requested through the San Carlos Police Bureau of the Sheriff’s Office.
The Council’s rejection of this claim does not prevent City staff nor the staff of Sedgwick from continuing to work with the claimant to resolve the dispute.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the City Council include:
1. Deny the claim of Elizabeth Iniguez; or
2. Do not deny claim of Elizabeth Iniguez; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

ANALYSIS:
Claimant, Sandy Khalil, filed a claim against the City for purchasing a $100 gift card with a zero balance. The claimant alleged that on March 22, 2023, she purchased a $100 gift card from Target in Redwood City. The $100 gift card was given as a gift, and the user indicated that the card did not have any money in it.
This does not appear to be a case of liability against the City as the City did not sell the gift card to the claimant. In addition, Target is located in Redwood City and is not within the City of San Carlos’ jurisdiction. For these reasons, Sedgwick has recommended formal rejection of this claim.
The Council’s rejection of this claim does not prevent City staff nor the staff of Sedgwick from continuing to work with the claimant to resolve the dispute.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the City Council include:
1. Deny the claim of Sandy Khalil; or
2. Do not deny the claim of Sandy Khalil; or

CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 12, 2023
ITEM TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Appropriating $180,000 from the General Capital Fund (Fund 25) in Fiscal Year 2022-23 for the Removal of Landslide Preventative Measures; Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Public Projects Agreement with Brannon Corporation in the amount of $163,811; and Authorizing an Expenditure of Contingency up to the Project Budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution appropriating $180,000 from the General Capital Fund (Fund 25) in Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2022-23 for the removal of landslide preventative measures, authorizing the City Manager to execute a public projects agreement with Brannon Corporation in the amount of $163,811, and authorizing an expenditure of contingency up to the project budget.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Proposed FY 2023-25 Budget includes an appropriation of $180,000 in Fund 25 for this project in FY 2024. In order to begin the project sooner, this action would move the budget from FY 2024 into FY 2023. With the appropriation, there is sufficient budget to execute a public projects agreement with Brannon Corporation.
BACKGROUND:
Hillsides along roadways and within open space parks such as Big Canyon and Eaton Parks, failed, slipped, and eroded due to the heavy rains which caused the soil and debris to move down the slopes during the January and March 2023 storms.
Preventative measures were placed on the hillsides to temporarily protect and prevent further sliding of the soil during the remainder of the wet season. Preventative measures included tarpaulin, sandbags, staking, and flexible piping to collect and discharge runoff away from the hillside.
Staff retained Brannon Corporation in January and March 2023 to place these preventative measures through emergency authority due to the urgency, the number of sites, the work involved, and to allow maintenance staff to attend to other emergencies during the winter storms.
ANALYSIS:
With the conclusion of the winter season, these hillsides need to be uncovered to allow the soil to dry and survey the full extent of the damage. Staff will evaluate the full extent of the damage to
9.g
June 12, 2023 Packet Pg. 36
determine the mitigation measures that are needed for permanent restoration of the hillside and prevent future sliding.
Due to the number of sites and the amount of work involved in removing these protective measures, staff recommends having the contractor that placed these protective measures also remove them.
Staff requested a proposal from Brannon Corporation for the removal of protective measures and requests an appropriation of $180,000 from Fund 25 in FY 2022-23.
Additionally, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute a public projects agreement with Brannon Corporation in the amount of $163,811 and authorizing contingency up to the project budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the City Council include:
1. Adopt a Resolution appropriating $180,000 from the General Capital Fund (Fund 25) in Fiscal Year 2022-23 for the removal of landslide preventative measures, authorizing the City Manager to execute a public projects agreement with Brannon Corporation in the amount of $168,311, and authorizing an expenditure of contingency up to the project budget; or

Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
City of San Carlos
600 Elm Street
San Carlos, CA 94070
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council:
On behalf of the entire San Carlos staff, I am pleased to present the City of San Carlos Biennial Budget for F iscal Years 2023-24 and 2024-25, including the Operating Budget along with the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program Budget. The recommended budget reflects your priorities, the adopted strategic plan, and is consistent with the critical needs identified by our residents over this past year.
The purpose of the budget process is to identify the fiscally sustainable services that the City may reasonably expect to provide within the context of the City’s available financial resources. San Carlos has never been a “tax rich” city, in that only about 10% of property taxes paid by its residents goes toward funding the City. In fact, 100% of the property tax revenue the City receives only pays for about 80% of the cost to provide police and fire/emergency medical services alone.
San Carlos also doesn’t have any special revenue taxes, such as a local ¼ or ½ cent sales tax or a utility user tax. This presents many challenges to providing high quality services and improving infrastructure and facilities.
Those of us in City Hall are especially proud of how we manage our limited financial resources each year as we work to find new ways to do more than many cities, with less. Being efficient and effective with our precious tax revenue is a topic planned for and discussed by staff and the Council on a daily basis and features prominently in every decision made by our community representatives. Each year, San Carlos receives multiple awards and is recognized for innovative programs and projects and outstanding financial management and long-range planning.
The Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years (“FY”) 2023-25, including Operating and Capital Budgets, is the result of an inclusive and interactive staff budget development process, input received from the FY 2022-23 projections, the strategic planning process , the City Council Budget Study Session held on May 5, 2023, as well as Council direction given throughout the year. In particular, the proposed Five-Year Capital Improvement Program Budget includes funding in the amount of $188 million to fund strategic goals and to invest in our aging infrastructure. This is the largest capital budget we have ever proposed and is an increase of almost $100 million over the last Five-Year Capital Improvement Program that was included in the FY 2021-23 Adopted Budget.
HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE BUDGET
Even as the City, state, and nation experienced the Great Recession of 2009 and the COVID-19 crisis of 2020 , the City has been able to maintain positive fund balances due to cost cutting measures, conservative budgeting, and fiscal controls. This could not have been done without a

tremendous partnership between executive management staff and the City Council. Maximizing our revenues while keeping annual operating costs under control has given us the ability to weather financial storms.
From 2008 to 2023, the City’s operating revenue has grown on average 5.7% per year. At the same time, the City’s operating expenses have grown, on average, by 4.4% per year. This has generated an annual average operating surplus (before any one-time expenses) of $5 million per year. This gives us the opportunity to take these savings and invest in our capital spending as well as pay down long-term pension obligations.
Our largest revenue source comes from property tax. As shown in the table below, the tax assessment rolls have grown 128%, or $7.4 billion, over the last fifteen years. This creates a stable revenue stream as values are locked in under Proposition 13 and grow at a rate of up to 2% per year.

Our second largest revenue source is sales tax and it has grown 85% over the past fifteen years. The City’s sales tax base is diverse. As such, we don’t rely on just one category. For example, if our sales tax base relied heavily on autos and transportation (car dealerships), we would have seen our revenue drop with each economic downturn. Our building and construction category continues to grow as residential and commercial development continues to grow.
In addition to the growth in revenues, the City used $12 million of prior years’ savings/surpluses to pay down our unfunded pension liabilities. This has resulted in annual and long-term savings. $0

ECONOMIC UPDATE
In April 2023, it was reported that the real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 1.1 % in the first quarter of 2023 , according to the “advance” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter of 2020, real GDP increased at 2.6%.
The increase in the first quarter GDP reflected increases in consumer spending, exports, federal government spending, state and local government spending, and nonresidential fixed investments that were partly offset by decreases in priv ate inventory investment and residential fixed investment. The increase in consumer spending reflected increases in both goods and $-

services. Within goods, the leading contributor was motor vehicles and parts. Within services, the increase was led by health care and food services and accommodation.
According to our third-party consultant, HdL Companies, California saw a 4.7% increase in sales and use tax revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. High gas prices continued to burden commuters and seasonal travelers throughout the state, lifting fuel-service stations’ sales tax receipts 10% higher than a year ago. Gas prices of more than $5 per gallon did not detract consumers from spending at local restaurants and hotels. The building and construction sector was up 5.4%. Contractors accounted for most of the growth in the sector, which continues to experience steady housing demand and pent-up construction projects delayed by supply chain interruptions. With rising interest rates tempering sales activity, property owners maintained home improvement spending. These factors have all been incorporated into our proposed budget.

IMPACT OF STATE BUDGET, LEGISLATION & REGULATIONS
State Budget Overview and Highlights
For the past few years, Gov ernor Gavin Newsom had the luxury of calling his revised state budgets “unprecedented” and “historic.” On May 12, 2023 , he struck a much different tone, repeatedly emphasizing the value of prudence and restraint as he unveiled a revised, $306.5 billion state budget proposal.
The state started with a budget deficit for fiscal year 2023 -24, which grew to $31.5 billion since January. The Governor used a combination of funding deferrals, reversions of unused dollars, and shifts from the General Fund to balance the budget. The budget proposal also draws heavily on federal funding and a potential 2024 climate bond to meet environmental goals.
In a win for cities, the May budget proposal does reflect calls to avoid redirecting city funds to address the state's budget shortfalls. It also does not include deep cuts to existing appropriations to cities. The proposed budget even includes some modest, but important increases f or local governments, including more money for behavioral health care, adaptive reuse, fentanyl overdose aids, and flood control in the areas most impacted from the winter storms.
Specific areas of the budget are noted below:
Flooding
The probability of funding for the climate change priorities outlined in the Governor’s May Budget Revision are highly similar to the cut-and-delay plan proposed at the start of the year. However, the probability of the funding being available has become much less certain. The updated budget plan now relies on the potential drawdown of federal funding and the passage of a climate bond in 2024. Together, these assume tens of billions of dollars for environmental priorities. Despite the fiscal constraints, the Governor did provide substantial funding to the significant flood events in the Central Valley, putting up nearly $500 million in new funding for flood control, levee restoration, and small business relief. How much of this funding will be used to address Bay Area cities like San Carlos is uncertain.

For the City of San Carlos, the December 31, 2022 storm and subsequent storms and flooding in January and February of 2023, had significant operational and financial impacts on residents, businesses, and the City. As of May 2023, the City has submitted $4.6 million in reimbursement requests through the FEMA PA Grant Program for damages sustained by the City. It is anticipated that there will be additional reimbursement requests submitted. What percentage of that request will be reimbursed has yet to be determined. Unfortunately, per the FEMA PA Grant Pr ogram Briefing on March 8, 2023, the City learned that landslides will not be considered for reimbursement. Landslide repairs on City -owned open spaces are estimated to cost $5M. The City has sufficient reserves to cover these costs and $5M is included in the capital budget to address four projects throughout the city.
Electrification
Consistent with Governor Newsom’s 2020 Executive Order on Electric Vehicles, climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resilience is one of the City’s seven adopted goals in its adopted 2023 strategic plan. The City’s Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Plan establishes the goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. The electrification of buildings and transportation are key components to achieving this goal. In an effort to promote electrification in the City as prioritized in the City’s 2021 Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Plan, the operating budget includes $100,000 per year to expand the availability of electric vehicle charging stations in multifamily buildings. The incentive will be offered to residents through a matching program administered by Peninsula Clean Energy. Furthermore, $50,000 has been allocated in the capital budget to conduct a fee study to develop an in lieu fee to offset green house gas emissions associated with projects that seek exemption from the City’s all electric reach codes and solar requirements. The City’s goal is to use this funding to implement electrification projects on public property.
Housing
The City is on track to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 2,735 units as required by the State. One of the City’s seven strategic goals is to “actively encourage and support the creation of housing to provide a safe, inclusive, diverse, and affordable housing supply by facilitating development of housing for all income levels. One of the ways the City intends to achieve this goal is through site acquisition. Because the City anticipates collecting significant revenue through its Commercial Linkage Fee over the coming years, this funding can be utilized to acquire property and construct affordable housing or convert existing market rate housing to affordable housing. $42.5 million in project funding for FY 2023-28 has been programmed for this purpose. Furthermore, plans are currently underway to demolish the existing City-owned building located at 1232 Cherry Street and make room for the City’s second affordable housing project. $250,000 has been appropriated in the capital improvement budget to begin demolition in late 2023.
Mental Health
The Governor is working with legislative leadership on a 2024 ballot initiative that would modernize the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) to focus on housing and residential services for people experiencing homelessness and mental health and substance use disorders. In April 2023, a new, innovative navigation center for people experiencing homelessness in San Mateo County opened in Redwood City.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 56
The space provides 240 temporary living spaces for unsheltered people, along with on- site support services such as trauma counseling, substance use treatment, and even health and dental care, a first for a San Mateo County non-congregate shelter. The total cost for the project is estimated to be $57 million, with annual operating costs at just over $5 million. The bulk of the funding -- just over $55 million -- came from a California Homekey grant, a statewide program launched in 2020 to provide local governments with money to create temporary or permanen t housing for people experiencing homelessness.
While challenges related to homelessness in San Carlos are not as complex as neighboring cities, the City continues to invest in proactive community measures such as community servicing officers, the Psychiatric Emergency Response Team, a mental health crisis co- response team, and Crisis Assistance Response and Evaluation Services (CARES). The City of San Carlos contracts for services from the San Mateo Sheriff’s Office, which increased by 40% from FY2022- 23 due primarily to increases in training costs, the cost of supplies and technology, and staffing.
Streets
In April 2017, the Governor signed into law the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Senate Bill “SB” 1). SB 1 provides $5.2 billion annually statewide and is a significant investment in California’s transportation infrastructure. The law provides approximately $500,000 for the City’s local streets and roads. This revenue has been incorporated into the five- year capital project proposal. Howev er, due to the COVID -19 pandemic causing a reduction in fuel consumption and vehicle sales, Local Streets and Roads (LSR) revenues allocated to cities and counties by the state are lower than originally expected, but are largely being offset by tax rate increases stipulated in SB 1. LSR revenues are projected at $1.6 million in FY 2022-23 and $1.69 million on FY 2024-25. While sizable, these revenues are barely enough to address the proposed investment in the City’s streets.
In order to raise the City’s streets’ pavement condition index from 57 to 62 in the next five years, staff recommended an investment of $39 million in the City’s street resurfacing project over the next five years. Project funding includes funding from the General Capital Fund in the amount of $8.55 million and the Gas Tax Fund 16.
Vehicle In-Lieu
In FY 2004-05, Senate Bill 1096 was enacted, which directed Motor Vehicle License Fees (“VLF”) collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles from the cities and counties to the State. To make the cities and counties whole, the legislation specified that cities would be “backfilled” this revenue by the County as “property tax in- lieu” payment, rather than paid directly by the State. In Ap ril 2021, San Mateo County notified the City that it was experiencing a countywide shortfall in FY 2020-21 in the amount of $96 million due to a reduction in the number of non- basic aid school districts in the County, which in turn, resulted in less available property tax revenues to fund the FY 2020-21 VLF. The County worked with the State on recovery and it was paid in FY 2022- 23.
However, continued underfunding tax revenue from the State continues to create uncertainty in budgeting and planning and poses a long-term threat to the City. Fortunately, however, the City’s other revenue sources and reserves prove more stable and reliable.

*Revised Budget includes adjustments to revenues and appropriations made by the City Council during the fiscal year.
FY 2022-23 revenues are projected to be higher by approximately $6.52 million. Most of this variance is related to one -time revenues and reimbursements. Below are some of the larger variance explanations:
Business Registration. The revenue projected of $1.22 million, or $0.16 million over budget, can be attributed to the outsourcing of the business registration function to a third party. Business registration revenues are recorded as cash collected and the third party has more resources to ensure compliance and therefore has collected more than was previously expected.
Charges for Services. The revenue projected of $7.82 million is $3.00 million over budget, and is a direct result of the receipt of plan check fees from larger developments:
642 Quarry Road, 1021 Howard Avenue, 405 Industrial Road, 888 Bransten Road, and 987 Commercial Street. These large plan check fees are not budgeted as the timing of receipt of the funds can vary depending on the timing of the projects. It is highly unusual to receive this many large development fees in one fiscal year.
10.a

Packet Pg. 59
From Other Agencies. The revenue projected of $0.17 million, or $0.11 million over budget, includes one- time funding r eceived from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) grant to recover COVID losses for the period prior to March 2021 in the amount of $124,913. In June 2020, the City of San Carlos started the application process for eligible expenses such as labor, equipment, materials, and/or contract work that was related to the response of the disaster. After working with FEMA for more than two years, FEMA approved the City’s grant application.
Property Tax. The projected revenue of $17.05 million, represents an increase of $0.53 million over budget. This revenue is estimated based on information from the County and third party consultants. The primary reason for this increase is due to increases in the property tax assessment rolls to account for changes in property ownership and tenant improvements. The assessment rolls increased $1.74 billion, or 13%, over the prior fiscal year.
Sales Tax . The revenue projected of $12.56 million represents an increase of $0.53 million over budget. This revenue is based on information from third party consultants.
Growth has continued mostly in the categories of business and industry, fuel and service stations, general consumer goods , and restaurants and hotels. Restaurants have experienced a strong uptick with increased prices and a continued desire to dine out.
Transient Occupancy Tax. The revenue projected of $3.4 million represents a decrease of $0.40 million from budget. Although the hotel industry began to rally in FY 2021-22 following the COVID -19 pandemic, the industry has not yet returned to historical occupancy as business travel has not yet fully returned to pre-pandemic rates.
Other Uses of Money and Property. This includes rentals and investment income. The revenue projected of $3.48 million represents an increase of $0.22 million over budget.
Although interest rates have been trending less than 3%, the increase is generated from higher investment balances due to the timing of the payment of expenditures. The General Fund investment balance as of December 31, 2022 was $16.3 million, as compared to $1.7 million from the year before.
Vehicle In-Lieu. The revenue projected of $5.75 million represents an increase of $2.19 million from the revised budget. This estimate is based on the information from the County Controller’s Office. The revenue received in this fiscal year includes a one-time payment of $2.2 million repayment of the county-wide shortfall from two years ago (FY 2020- 21) and the increase in property assessed values . In FY 2004- 05, Senate Bill 1096 was enacted, which redirected Motor Vehicle License Fees (“VLF”) collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles from the cities and counties to the state. To make the cities and counties whole, the legislation specified cities would be “backfilled” this revenue by the County as a “property tax in-lieu” payment rather than paid directly by the state. If the “backfilled” amount exceeds a certain limit, there will not be enough money to fully cover the amount owed. In April 2021, San Mateo County notified the City that it was experiencing a county-wide shortfall in FY 2020-21 in the amount of $96 million due to a reduction in the number of non -basic aid school districts in the County, which in turn resulted in less available property tax revenues to fund the FY 2020-21 VLF. The County worked with the State on recovery and it was paid in this fiscal year, 2022-23.
Expenditures are projected to be $0.86 million less than the revised budget primarily due to salary savings from vacant positions during the year. The FY 2022-23 budget added 14 new positions
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 60
and recruitment for each position takes three to six months to fill. In addition, 9 of those recruitments failed the first time and even multiple times, so positions were held open much longer than anticipated. These salary savings were offset by approximately $1 million in unanticipated expenses related to the significant storms and flooding events in December 2022 and January 2023.
PROPOSED BIENNIAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEARS 2023-25
The Biennial Budget includes 19 different funds. Rather than discuss the status of each of these funds in this report , the budget summary is grouped into five components: General Fund; Wastewater (Sewer); Other Revenue Funds; All Other Operating Funds (including debt servi ce and internal service funds); and Capital Project Funds. The following table identifies the total proposed expenditures by component, in which the Citywide appropriations for FY 2023-24 total $124.91 million and for FY 2024-25 total $119.24 million.

Fiscal Year 2023-24 Revenue Assumptions
Total General Fund revenue is budgeted at $55.34 million, an increase of 7.2% from the FY 2022- 23 revised budget. The majority of the increases are described below.
• Business Registration. The revenue amount is budgeted to increase by 19.0%, or $0.20 million, from the FY 2022-23 revised budget. Although this is a large increase over the FY 2022-23 revised budget, it is only an increase of 4.0% over the FY 2022-23 projected amount, which is in line with the increase specified in the City’s Municipal Code.
• Charges for Current Services. The increase of $0.31 million, or 6.4%, is primarily due to expansion of Parks and Recreation programming and special event revenues and the timing of plan check services related to development. The FY 2023- 24 budget assumes some fees from development projects and multi -residential projects expected to be submitted for review. These fees are typically pass through revenues and have a corresponding expense for professional consulting and technical experience necessary to facilitate these projects.
• Fines and Forfeitures. Budget at $0.32 million, which is approximately the same level as the FY 2022-23 revised budget.
• From Other Agencies. Budget at $0.01 million, which is approximately the same level as the FY 2022-23 revised budget. This revenue is from grant reimbursements which can fluctuate from year to year depending on availability.
• Licenses and Permits. The increase of $0.10 million, or 4.0%, is primarily based on the projected timing of development project permits for building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits in the past year. The timing of when developers pull their permits can vary and as such this category can fluctuate greatly from year to year. The license and permit revenue for large projects typically lags several months or even years from the timing of plan check, as it takes longer to review these projects.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 62
• Other Revenues. These mainly include cost reimbursements from agencies such as the City and County Association of Governments and the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Commute.org). It also includes donations, sponsorships, and other miscellaneous receipts. Revenue is budgeted to increase by $0.02 million, or 2.6%, primarily due to inflationary costs.
• Other Tax (franchise tax). The revenue is budgeted to increase to $2.1 million, or 7.8%, from the FY 2022-23 revised budget. Although this is a large increase over the FY 2022- 23 revised budget, it is only an increase of 3.2% over the projected revenues and is in line with projected inflationary increases.
• Property Tax. The budget of $17.98 million, or 8.8% is based on the general assessment rolls and information provided by our third- party consultants. The primary reason is increases in the property tax assessmen t rolls to account for changes in property ownership and tenant improvements. The assessment rolls increased $1.74 billion, or 13%, over the prior fiscal year.
• Sales Tax. The increase of $1.02 million, or 8.5%, is based on information from our third- party consultants. Although the increase is 8.5% over the FY 2022-23 revised budget, the proposed budget is only 4% over the projected FY 2022- 23 revenues. Steady building materials, plumbing- electrical and contractor sales activity , purchases of non -auto equipment, and continued patronage of restaurants is driving these increases.
• Transient Occupancy Tax. The increase of $0.4 million, or 10.5%, like sales tax, is based on information from our third-party consultants. Although the hotel industry began to rally in FY 2021 -22 following the COVID -19 pandemic, the industry has not yet returned to historical occupancy as business travel has not yet fully returned to pre- pandemic rates.
The proposed budget includes the addition of one hotel that has been going through renovations for several years.
• Other Uses of Money and Property. This includes rentals and investment income. The decrease of $0.29 million is due to the assumption of the timing of cash disbursements and the allocations of the total investment portfolio amongst all of the funds. At the end of each quarter, investment income is allocated based on the percentage of cash in each fund. The amount of allocation can change from year to year based on the total cash balance held in each fund.
• PAMF Target Revenue. The increase is based on the terms of the Development Agreement.
• Vehicle in -Lieu. The revenue increase of $0.35 million, or 9.9%, is based on the information from the County Controller’s Office and our third -party consultants. In FY 2004-05, Senate Bill 1096 was enacted which redirected Motor Vehicle License Fees (“VLF”) collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles from the cities and counties to the state. To make the cities and counties whole, the legislation specified cities would be “backfilled” this revenue by the County as a “property tax in lieu” payment rather than paid directly by the state. The County has told us that if the “backfilled” amount exceeds a certain limit, there will not be enough money to fully cover the amount owed. As a result, San Mateo County has experienced a county-wide shortfalls in prior years. The FY 2022- 23 projection includes a one-time repayment of this revenue in the amount of $2.2 million from FY 2020-21.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Revenue Assumptions
Total General Fund revenue is budgeted at $57.87 million, an increase of 4.6% from the FY 2023- 24 proposed budget.
• Business Registration. The revenue is budgeted to increase in year two of the budget by 4.0%, or $0.05 million, from the FY 2023 -24 proposed budget. The increase is based on the annual percentage increase specified in the City’s Municipal Code.
• Charges for Current Services. Revenues are projected to decrease by $0.13 million, or
2.5%, due to the timing of large development plan check activities. As noted above, the timing of large-scale development projects can cause this category to fluctuate from year to year. There may be more projects on the horizon that would increase this revenue stream which will be adjusted during the mid-cycle budget review.
• Fines and Forfeitures. The revenue is proposed at $0.33 million, which is approximately the same level as the proposed FY 2023-24 budget.
• From Other Agencies. Revenues are projected to be at the same levels as the proposed FY 2023-24 budget.
• Licenses & Permits. Revenue is projected to increase by $0.08 million, or 3.0%. Similar to the current charges for services, this revenue stream is largely impacted by the timing of large-scale development projects.
• Other Revenue. Revenue is projected to decrease by $0.02 million, or 1.8%, mostly due to estimates in cost recovery assumptions.
• Other Tax (franchise tax). The revenue is primarily based on trend data from the past fiscal years.
• Property Tax. The revenue is projected to increase $1.26 million, or 7.0%, from the FY 2023-24 projected budget. This continues to assume the growt h in the assessment rolls associated with the large- scale development projects on the east side of the City. Staff continue to work closely with our consultants to project and monitor this revenue.
• Sales Tax. The revenue is projected to increase by $0.37 million, or 2.8%, as a result of assumed inflationary increases. This revenue is reviewed quarterly with our third- party consultants and is adjusted based on current and projected activity.
• Transient Occupancy Tax. The revenue is expected to grow by $0.57 million, or 13.5%, as a result of the anticipated rise in occupancy rates following the return and demand for business and residential travel.
• Other Uses of Money and Property. The revenue increase of $0.06 million, or 2.0%, includes lease revenue from three digital billboards.
• The PAMF Target Revenue. The budget is based on the terms of the Development Agreement.

The fully funded staff and Council recommended budget results in unrestricted fund balances for FY 2023-24 and 2024-25 at approximately $1. 05 million and $0.92 million, respectively. These balances are projections and savings achieved throughout the years and will increase these balances accordingly.
As done in prior years, included in the FY 2023- 24 and 2024-25 budgets are recommendations to transfer capital reserves from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund (Fund 25). The recommended transfer amount for the FY 2023-24 is $7.85 million and for the FY 2024- 25 is $4.85 million. These transfers are necessary to fund improvements of City infrastructure, facilities, and other capital needs.
WASTEWATER (SEWER) FUND BUDGET
The Wastewater, or Sewer, Fund is used to account for sewage treatment, transmission, major replacements, and improvements to the City’s sewer system. Revenues received can only be used to fund sewer -related projects. The table below summarizes the current year’s revised budget and projections and the FY 2023- 25 proposed budgets for the Wastewater Fund (Fund 0006).

Below are the highlights of the assumptions used in developing the FY 2023-25 Proposed Wastewater budget.
• Revenues. Budgeted at $27.87 million, this represents an increase of $5.6 million, or 25%, over the revised FY 2022-23 budget. The budgeted amount includes an assumption of $5 million of new development connection fees. Staff is proposing to forgo sewer rate increases in FY 2023-24 and a rate increase of 3% has been projected in FY 2024-25.
The additional revenues are used to fund the capital improvements outlined in the City’s Sewer Master Plan. Revenues are also used to fund the debt service associated with Silicon Valley Clean Water’s (SVCW) improvements to wastewater treatment infrastructure. The proposed amount for FY 2024- 25 is projected to decrease by 0.4% compared to the FY 2023-24 proposed budget primarily due to the one -time connection fees in FY 2023-24.
• Salaries and Benefits. Budgeted amounts are based on all current known MOU provisions and the additional funding for the post-employment benefits.
• Silicon Valley Clean Water (“SVCW”). Plant operations are budgeted at $0.16 million, or 4.2%, less than the prior year. The budget is based on the Long-Range Financial Plan provided by SVCW in January 2023 and the SVCW Adopted Budget that was approved by the SVCW Board in April 2023. FY 2024 -25 expenditures are proposed to be $0.3 million, or 8.2%, higher than the proposed FY 2023-24 amount to adjust for inflation.
• Other Operating Expenditures. Budgeted at $0.2 million for FY 2023-24 and $0.01 million in FY 2024-25 is relatively the same level as the FY 2022-23 revised budget. This expenditure category also includes utilities, field program supplies, office supplies, equipment maintenance, and training.
• Bond Payments. Budgeted at $3.31 million, or $0.19 million, lower than the prior year.
This category includes the debt service payments and the estimated State Revolving Fund (“SRF”) loans. The debt service payments are directly tied to the timing of the bond
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 68
issuance and the payments on the SRF loans used for capital infrastructure at the sewer treatment facility. The proposed amount for FY 2024- 25 is $1 million higher than the proposed FY 2023-24 budget.
• Capital Projects. Budgeted at $10.83 million and $8.38 million for FY 2023- 24 and FY 2024-25, respectively. Additional detail on the capital projects has been included in the Capital Improvement Program Budget section of the budget book.
OTHER REVENUE FUNDS BUDGET
The Other Revenue Funds are used to account for revenue sources for which expenditures are restricted by law or administrative action to specific purposes. The Other Revenue Funds include National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDE S”) (Fund 0015), Police Grants (Fund 0017), and Library Tenant (Fund 0095).

Below are the highlights of the assumptions used in developing the proposed FY 2023-25 Other Revenue budgets.
• Revenues. Budgeted to increase by $0. 01 million, or 0.7 %, in F Y 2023-24 and then decrease by $0. 27 million, or 23 %, in F Y 2024-25. The main revenue source for the NPDES fund is the NPDES fees collected through the County. The revenue for the Police Grant fund is the Citizens’ Option for Public Safety (COPS) program. The Library Tenant fund revenue includes rental revenue from the current tenants , South Bayside Waste Management Authority and Star Vista. In FY 2024-25, staff recommends that the General Obligation bond for the library be paid off which will close out the Library Tenant Fund and move any future tenant revenue to the General Fund.
• Operating Expenditures. These include: utilities , field program supplies, annual permit renewal from the Bay Area Air Quality Management D istrict, equipment maintenance, motorcycle law enforcement , and library building maintenance and repairs. Operating expenditures reflect an increase of $0.02 million, or 4.0%. The proposed expenditures for FY 2024-25 are projected to decrease by 50.8% as any expenses associated with the library have been moved back to the General Fund.
• Capital Outlay. This includes capital projects associated with the library building. There are open projects including the general library maintenance and repairs and the generator project that will be completed by the end of FY 2024-25.

• Net Allocations and Transfers. Fiscal Year 2024- 25 reflects the closure of the Library Tenant Fund to payoff the debt obligation, transfer funds associated with operating expense and the remaining fund balance will be restricted for library work in the General Capital Fund 0025.
OTHER PROGRAM FUNDS
The Other Program Funds are used to account for special activities and services performed by a designated department for other departments on a cost reimbursement basis. The Other Program Funds include: Workers Compensation (Fund 0032); General Liability (Fund 0033); Post - Employment Benefits (Fund 0035); and City Debt Service (Fund 0093). The table below summarizes the current year’s revised budget and projection, and the FY 2023-25 proposed budgets for the Other Program Funds.

Below are the highlights of the assumptions used in developing the FY 2023-24 and 2024- 25 Other Program Funds proposed budgets.
• Revenues. Budgeted to increase by $0.42 million, or 35.9%, in FY 2023-24 to reflect the contribution adjustment for the increase insurance costs and the additional positions in previous years. The proposed amount for FY 2024-25 is projected to increase by $0. 06 million, or 3.6%, over FY 2023-24 to account for inflationary adjustments.
• Insurance Expenses. Budgeted to increase by $0.18 million, or 12.6%, in FY 2023- 24 over FY 2022-23 projections and budgeted to increase $0.2 million, or 12.2%, in FY 2024- 25 over FY 2023- 24 estimates. The City is a member of the Pooled Liability Assurance Network Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA) for general liability and property insurance.
The insurance renewal market is extremely tough and more difficult to find coverage at reasonable rates since providers are leaving the market. The liability program for PLAN is expected to increase 11% and the property program is expected to increase 40.3% across all members. Based on the actuarial studies, the City’s insurance rates are estimated to increase 3.1% for general liability and 38.5% for property. In addition, workers ’ compensation insurance rates are estimated to increase 33% for the next fiscal year.
• Other Post Employment Obligations . The expenditure budgets for F Y 2023-24 and 2024-25 include a contribution of approximately $1.1 million for the post -employment benefits based on information received from the actuarial study completed in 2022. The budget represents funding for our retiree medical trust at 100% of the annual required contribution and approximately 100% of the longevity trust annual required contribution

based on the previous study. The City’s pay-as-you-go amount totals approximately $0.93 million annually.
• Debt Service Obligations. The City’s General Obligation Bond is scheduled to be paid off on August 1, 2026. In celebration of the City’s Centennial in 2025, it is recommended that we pay the bond off one year early using the excess fund balance in the Library Tenant Fund.
CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS BUDGETS
The Capital Project Funds include: Equipment Replacement (Fund 0010); Measure A (Fund 0014); Gas Tax (Fund 0016); Measure W (Fund 0018); General Capital (Fund 0025); Child Care Impact Fee (Fund 0026); Park In-Lieu (Fund 0027); Parking In-Lieu (Fund 0028); Housing In-Lieu (Fund 0029); and Low and Moderate Income Housing (Fund 0031).
The capital project budget funds major one-time and on-going infrastructure improvement needs, including: resurfacing and sidewalk projects; traffic safety improvements; park construction and improvements; storm drainage improvements; facility improvements; and enterprise technology projects. Funds are often accumulated in this budget over a period of years and then are spent when a sufficient amount of revenue is available to pay for desired projects.

Capital Improvement Program Budget for FY 2023-24 through FY 2027-28
The Council was presented with a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program Budget as part of the Budget Study Session held on May 5, 2023. As there are many approved projects, a detailed listing of the proposed changes in funding for these projects can be found in the Capital Improvement Program section of this budget document. The proposed Capital Improvement Program Budget will draw down on capital fund balances over the duration of the projects and will fund the following project categories, totaling $188 million, over the next five years.

Capital Improvement Program – Unfunded List: As we have done in previous budgets, the five- year Capital Improvement Program contains a list of unfunded projects. This list shows projects that are desirable but are currently beyond the means of the City to fully fund and construct. These projects total approximately $204 million. A complete list of Unfunded Capital Projects may be found in the Capital Improvement Program staff report.
GENERAL FUND RESERVES
The Government Finance Officers Association (“GFOA”) has issued its best practice in determining the appropriate level of unrestricted fund balance in the General Fund to be at a minimum of no less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues or expenses, which equates to approximately 17%. The GFOA definition of Unrestricted Fund Balance includes three general categories: Committed Fund Balance, Assigned Fund Balance, and Unassigned Fund Balance.
When looking at the total reserve percentages, all categories need to be considered. In the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, the categories that make up the unrestricted fund balance as defined by the GFOA are the following: Economic Uncertainty Reserve, Strategic Property Acquisition Reserve, Unfunded Liability Reserve , Facility and Infrastructure Reserve, and the Unassigned Fund balance. For our purposes, we will consider our reserves to be those defined as committed and assigned as noted in the following chart. Even excluding the unassigned fund balance, the City maintains healthy reserves well above the GFOA best practice guidelines.
As a general practice, use of reserves should not be used to offset annual operating expenses as these are not a continuous source of funding.

• Economic Uncertainties Reserve. The City established an Economic Uncertainties Reserve that is equivalent to at least 12.5% of the City’s General Fund expenditures, with a funding goal closer to 20% being highly desirable.
• Strategic Property Reserve. In October 2010, the Council approved and authorized the establishment of a Strategic Property Acquisition Reserve. Appropriations from this reserve can only be made by formal action of the City Council. Generally, appropriations and access to these funds will be reserved for funding strategic property acquisitions by the City.
• Assigned Reserves for Specific Purpose. As per Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Pronouncement 54 for Fund Balances, assigned fund balances include amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent that they be used for specific purposes. As per the Council’s direction, the City Manager is authorized to assign amounts for a specific purpose. After the audit is complete, staff reviews the prior year savings and recommends transfers into these funds. The current assigned fund balance is for Unfunded Liabilities and Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements.
The Facility and Infrastructure Reserve was created as a way to use savings generated from prior fiscal years to help pay for capital projects. Transfers from this reserve are made annually to the General Capital Improvement Fund to fund projects.
CONCLUSION
We take this opportunity to thank San Carlos staff for their continued cooperation and participation in preparation of the Fiscal Year 2023- 25 budget document. A special thank you is extended to Financial Services Manager Carrie Tam, Senior Accountant Tammy Mak, Senior Accountant Marco Lao , Senior Management Analyst Jenny Liu, Management Analyst Cheryl Hong, and Administrative Assistant Madeleine Payumo, for their efforts in bringing this document forward.
Although the City has already made millions of dollars in program and service reductions over the past several years and continues to budget conservatively, many significant internal and external threats to the City’s long term fiscal sustainability still exist.

7) W
hat has the City done to reduce costs to the taxpayers? For
over a decade, the City has been a strong advocate for shared services. Our shared services model has proven very successful in reducing our costs while increasing or maintaining the same level of service to the community. Contracting with larger agencies f
or public safety maximizes the response times since larger agencies have more resources to pull from. In addition, the City can help offset the administrative costs of the ot
her agency by sharing these resources. The City has the following shared serv ice agr
eements:
• Law
Enforcement Services (Police Services) contracted with the County of San Mateo Sheriff’s Office since 2010.
• Dispatch Services contracted with the County of San Mateo since 2012. • Fire and Emergency Services contracted with the City of Redwood City since 2013.
In addition to shared service arrangements, the City implemented pension reforms and/or tiers prior to the passage of the State Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (“PEPRA”). The reforms included reduction of pension benefits and the elimination of employer paid retiree health benefits for employees hired after 2009 . These reforms reduced the long-term obligations of the City. Along with these reforms, the City has used prior year savings to pay down the remaining outstanding obligations, which will save the City over $895,000 annually for the next eight years (2021-2028) and $451,000 over the following eight years (2029-2036).

BASIS OF BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING
BASIS OF BUDGETING
The City of San Carlos budget document contains revenues, appropriations , and other financial information pertaining to all City operating and capital budgets, including the five- year Capital Improvement Program and the proprietary funds. The City’s budget goal is to achieve a balanced budget with revenues, including reimbursem ents or transfers from other funds for services provided, equal to or greater than expenditures.
The budgets of governmental fund types (General Fund, Other Revenue, and Capital Projects Funds) of the City are budgeted and accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting, which recognizes revenues when they become susceptible to accrual – i.e., measurable and available. Expenditures are recognized when the fund liability is incurred. The accrual basis of accounting is generally used to budget for the Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds, except for depreciation, debt principal payments, and capital outlay (see Basis of Accounting below).
The City’s accounting system is maintained on a fund basis in accordance with governmental accounting standards. Each fund is considered a separate accounting entity with a self- balancing set of accounts that record assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenue, and expenditures.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function/program (e.g., public safety), and department (e.g., Community Development).
Budgetary control is maintained at the department/program level. Department heads may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between departments, but within the same fund, can be approved administratively (by the Administrative Services Director or City Manager). However, transfers of appropriations that change total fund appropriations must be approved by the City Council.
Departments monitor and control budgets using the City’s financial system, through reports of revenue, and expenditure accounts. The financial system monitors expenditures at the line item budget level, immediately notifying the requestor of available funding levels. The Council is also provided with a quarterly financial status report that reflects year-to-date expenditures and revenues compared to budget. In addition, a financial status report and five-year forecast are included as part of the mid-cycle budget review and adjustment process, which is completed every other spring and submitted to the Council for review and approval.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) presents the status of the City’s finances in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). In most cases, this conforms to how the City prepares its budget. Exceptions are as follows:
• Compensated absences are recorded as earned by employees (GAAP basis), as opposed to being expended when paid (Budget basis);
• Principal payments on long-term debt within the Debt Service Fund reduce the amount of debt remaining on a GAAP basis, as opposed to being expended on a Budget basis;

Packet Pg. 85
• Capital Outlay is recorded as assets on a GAAP basis and expended on a Budget basis; and
• Depreciation expenses are recorded on a GAAP basis only.
The government-wide proprietary funds and fiduciary funds financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Governmental funds including major and other governmental funds (non-major funds) are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected generally within 60 days after year end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, including lease liabilities, as well as claims and judgements and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Governmental capital assets acquisitions, including entering into contracts which give the City the right to use leased assets, are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of governmental long- term debt and financing through leases are reported as other financial sources.

BUDGET PROCESS AND CALENDAR
BUDGET PROCESS
The City’s Municipal Code requires the City Manager to prepare and submit a proposed biennial budget to the City Council for approval. California Government Code Section 53901 requires that the City provide a copy of the adopted budget to the County Controller (Auditor) of San Mateo County within 60 days after the beginning of the fiscal year or before August 31.
The budget process commences six months prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year. The budget calendar establishes the timeline for the process, dates for submission of department requests, budget work sessions, and public hearings leading to final adoption of the budget.
The philosophy employed in creating this budget has been to focus the City’s efforts in continuing to provide quality “core” municipal services in the most efficient way possible.
Budget Development Process and Timeline
The City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Administrative Services Director, and Financial Services Manager provide guidance to the departments prior to preparation of department budgets related to economic outlook and parameters for budgeting.
Budget Preparation for FYs 2023-25 Commences. In developing the base budget for FYs 2023-25, staff made a number of revenue and expenditure assumptions. All of these assumptions were based on the projections and economic conditions known between January and March 2023 and reflect the adjustments approved by the City Council.
Strategic Planning. In January 2023, the C ity Council and Executive Management staff continued the annual strategic planning process begun in FY 2005-06. As part of this budget process, the City retained two facilitators to lead us through the City’s strategic planning process. The process resulted in the review of the City’s mission statement, vision statement, and core values, and the establishment of seven primary goals and several supporting objectives. Many objectives from this strategic planning process have been funded in this budget. The City Council appropriates the funds necessary to meet operating and capital activities and the adopted strategic goals and objectives. Budgetary adjustments are only considered within the framework of the adopted budget and the City Council’s directions, goals, and policies. This meeting was open to the public and the public was given an opportunity to comment.
Department Requests. In February 2023, City departments were provided with base budgets for FYs 2021-23 that included known increases in salaries and benefits, increases related to existing professional services contracts, and inflationary increases for operational expenditures. The revised budget and projections were also provided to the departments at that time. Department requests are based on budget instructions. Each request must relate to the organization’s program objectives and the priorities of the City. The requests are received and compiled by finance staff. The City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Administrative Services Director , and the Financial Services Manager met with each department individually to discuss and finalize the recommended budget options that were submitted for the Council’s consideration during the Budget Study Session.
Budget Study Session Held. On May 5, 2023, the City Council held a study session to discuss the general overview of the budget process, department responsibilities, accomplishments, goals , and recommendations for both the operating and capital budgets for FY s 2023-25. A Five-Year Capital Improvement Program Budget was also discussed and present ed as part of the Budget Study Session. Based on direction from the Council, the proposed changes from those study sessions have been incorporated into the proposed budget document. This meeting was open to the public,
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 87
broadcast on the City’s TV channels and available on the City’s website following the meeting. The public was notified in advance of the meeting and allowed time to comment.
Budget Adoption. On June 12 , 2023, staff will present the Proposed City of San Carlos Biennial Budget for Fiscal Year s 2023-25, including both Operating and Capital Budget s, for adoption. This meeting is also open to the public, broadcast on the City’s TV channels and available on the City’s website following the meeting. The public was notified in advance of the meeting and allowed time to comment.
Performance Measurements
Several years ago, the City transitioned from annual departmental budgeting to a full program and performance-based biennial budget. Program and performance- based budgeting: focuses decisions around results and services versus organizational units; emphasizes performance over line items; shows the cost (budget) of services and the level of service available for the cost; provides a structure to consider programs as they contribute to City goals and outcomes; and serves as an investment perspective with dialog about the right service for the right price.
The City uses several different tools to accumulate performance data, including employee surveys, resident satisfaction surveys, and internal performance measurement activities. Included in this budget document are the results of a resident satisfaction survey that was completed in May 2023.
Overhead Cost Allocation Method
In an effort to clarify and simplify the allocation process, staff worked closely with professional consultants to develop a methodology and a model to ensure the equitable allocation of overhead costs to departments in a manner that is both transparent and sustainable. Through this approach, each department’s budget reflects total departmental costs, including all staff assigned to the department. The model calculates how much should be recovered from other City funds, based on average time spent on other/non -General Fund programs, as well as employing other service utilization factors. These indirect and direct overhead costs are represented as cost allocati ons or transfers to and from department budgets as indicated in the chart below.

Budget Implementation
Once the budget is adopted, it is effective on July 1 and becomes the legal basis for the programs and services of each department of the City during the fiscal year. No department of the city government may spend in excess of the adopted and appropriated amounts, unless authorized by budget transfer as approved by the City Manager or designee. Financial and programmatic monitoring of departmental activities is necessary to ensure conformity with the budget takes place throughout the year. The budget can be found on the C ity website. Budget amendments may be made by the City Council to meet the changing needs of the C ity. The means by which the City Council may amend the budget include, but are not limited to, appropriation of additional funds and decreasing the amount of appropriated funds.
Capital Improvement Program
The City Council also adopts a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. This budget is submitted by the City Manager with the operating budget, and public hearings are held and the budgets are legislatively enacted through adoption of resolutions and/or ordinances. Appropriations for project funds and grant funds do not lapse at year end, but continue until the purpose of the appropriation has been fulfilled or terminated. Amendments to these budgets may be affected by the City Council’s actions. The level of budget control is on a project basis with additional administrative con trols being exercised.
Budget Principles and Policies
• The operating budget will be prepared to fund current year expenditures with current year revenue. Surplus fund balances may be used to increase fund balance reserves, fund Capital Improvement Projects, or be carried forward to fund future years’ operating budgets when necessary to stabilize services and fund capital outlay. • We will assume normal inflationary growth in accordance with the consumer price index for operating expenses.
• We will assume pers onnel costs based on current memoranda of understanding in effect at the time.
• Any new or expanded programs will be required to identify new funding sources and/or off - setting reductions in expenditures in other programs.
• We will deliver service in the most cost-effective manner. • The budget will state the objectives of each of the operating programs. • The budget will fully account for and apportion all costs, fees , and General Fund transfers associated with the Special Revenue and Enterprise Funds.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 89
• All budget transfers require the approval of the City Manager or designee. However, transfers of appropriations that increase the total appropriations of a fund must be approved by the City Council.
• We will maintain a long-range fiscal perspective through the use of a biennial operating budget, a five-year capital improvement program, and a five-year financial forecast. • The biennial budget will be adopted by Resolution of the City Council , by July 1, every other year.
• A mid-cycle budget status report will be prepared and presented to the City Council in the spring of the first year of the budget that will include projections to year -end and any adjustments required for the second year of the biennial budget. • Staff will provide a quarterly written report to the Council on the City’s General Fund revenues and expenditures.

MAJOR FUNDS SUMMARIES
The City of San Carlos budget document contains revenues, appropriations , and other financial information pertaining to all City operating and capital budgets, including the five -year Capital Improvement Program. The budgets are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting for governmental funds and accrual basis of accounting for proprietary funds. The City’s budget goal is to achieve a balanced budget with revenues, including reimbursements or transfers from other funds for services provided, equal to or greater than expenditures.
MAJOR FUND SUMMARIES
General Fund (Fund 0001)
General Fund r evenues for FY 2023-24 are budgeted to be $55,339,300, representing a 4.8% decrease over the projected revenues for FY 2022-23. The decrease in projected revenues is due to large development payments and a one- time repayment Vehicle in Lieu revenue from FY 2020- 21.
For FY 2024-25, operating revenues are budgeted to be $57,873,690 , representing an increase of
4.6% over the budgeted revenues for FY 2023-24. The increase in both years reflects continued growth expected from development activity and the expansion of programs. Property tax is expected to increase 8.8% in FY 2023-24 and 7.0% in FY 2024-25. Sales tax is projected to grow at 8.5% in FY 2023-24 and 2.8% in FY 202 4-25. Transient Occupancy Taxes are projected to grow 10.5 % in FY 2023-24 and 13.5% in FY 2024 -25 following the opening of a new hotel and the expectation that occupancy rates will return to pre-pandemic levels. Current Charges for Services are projected to grow
6.4% in FY 2023-24 with the continued demand for development permits and plan checks.
General Fund expenditures for FY 2023-24 are budgeted to be $58,976,850, representing a 8.5% increase over the budgeted expenditures for FY 2022-23. The increase in expense includes requested program and position changes, in addition to anticipated increases associated with retirement rates, employee medical benefits, post-employment benefits, and professional services associated with plan check reviews, economic development, recreational activities , and public safety services. The FY 2024-25 total expenditure budget is $61,652,890, a 4.5% increase over the FY 2023-24 expenditure budget.
General Fund net allocations and transfers in for FY 202 3-24 are budgeted to be $3, 845,000, representing an 11.7% increase over the estimated net allocations and transfers for FY 2022-23. Net allocations and transfers funding are budgeted in FY 2024-25 at $4,096,100, representing a 6.5% increase. This increase is a result of the increase in overhead charges to other funds in accordance with the contracted study that was performed in FY 2021-22.
The Other Sources/Uses of Funds category for FY 2023-24 has increased by $7.95 million from the FY 2022-23 projections. The category represents one-time funding for special items, including a $7.85 million transfer from the capital reserve to the Gas Tax and General Capital Funds for infrastructure improvements. The budget for FY 2023-24 also includes a $3.0 million payment to CalPERS to offset the unfunded pension liability. The FY 202 4-25 budget includes a $4.85 million contribution to the General Fund Capital Projects Fund.
The FY 202 3-24 budget reflects a total fund balance projection of $37,796,933 , including both restricted and unrestricted balances, and represents a decrease of 22% compared to the FY 2022-23 projected ending fund balance. This drop in fund balance is mainly due to the $7.85 million contribution to the General Fund Capital Projects Fund and Gas Tax Fund for infrastructure improvements, as well as the one-time payment to CalPERS. The FY 2024-25 estimated ending fund balance for the General Fund of $33,263,833 decreases by 12%. Similar to the prior year, this decrease is due to the transfer to the capital funds for infrastructure improvements.

Wastewater Fund (Fund 0006)
The Wastewater Fund revenues for FY 2023-24 are budgeted to be $27,866,500, representing an increase of 30.2% over the projected revenues for FY 2022-23. The increase reflects an assumption of $5 million from new development connection fees. Staff proposes to forgo sewer rate increases in FY 2023-24. However, a rate increase of 3% has been projected in FY 2024- 25. The FY 202 4-25 revenue budget of $27,746,000 is a 0.4% decrease over the FY 2023-24 estimates, primarily due to the one- time connection fees projected in the prior year . Revenues are used to fund the capital improvements outlined in the City’s Sewer Master Plan and to pay the debt service associated with Silicon Valley Clean Water (“SVCW”) improvements to the wastewater treatment infrastructure.
Wastewater Fund expenses for FY 2023-24 are budgeted to be $21,950,700, reflecting a 22.2% increase from estimated expenses for FY 202 2-23. Expenses in FY 20 24-25 are budgeted to be $21,031,300, a 4.2% decrease over the FY 2023-24 budget. The expense budgets reflect the timing of planned capital improvement project spending and the debt service requirements in the corresponding year. More detail on the capital projects can be found in the Capital Project Section of the budget.
Net allocations and transfers budgeted for FY 2023-24 of $3,928,100 reflect an increase of 13.5% as compared to FY 2022-23 projections. This increase reflects overhead allocation changes based on the comprehensive study performed by a third-party consultant last year. Net allocations and transfers out for FY 2024-25 of $4,053,100 are expected to increase by 3.2% over FY 2023-24 estimates. These increases reflect the estimated annual cost of living adjustments.
The ending fund balance, which includes those funds invested in capital assets and invested in SVCW, at the end of FY 202 3-24 is estimated to be $77,186,029. The fund balance is 2.6% higher than the fund balance estimate of $75,198,329 at the end of FY 2022-23. The increase is mainly due to the timing of capital project spendi ng. The estimated fund balance is projected to increase to $79,847,629 in FY 202 4-25. The increase is mainly due to the timing of capital projects and debt issuance for capital project spending at the SVCW Treatment Plant.

Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 0025)
Revenues for FY 202 3-24 in the Capital Improvement Fund, both restricted and unrestricted, are $7,192,100, representing a 26% decrease from the estimated revenues for FY 2022-23. The majority of this decrease is related to one-time grants, including funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds that are being used to fund the new fire station. Revenues for FY 2024-25 are estimated to be $9,017,800, an increase of 25.4% from FY 2023-24 due to the timing traffic impact fees projected from large development that is used to offset traffic project costs.
Expenditures for FY 2023-24 are $11,727,100 and in FY 2024-25 are estimated to be $10,575,000 due to the timing of capital project spending. More detail on the capital projects can be found in the Capital Project Section of the budget.
The fund balance at the end of FY 2023-24, for both unrestricted and restricted balances, is estimated at $7,859,342 and at the end of FY 2024-25 is $5,753,578.

TAX APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT (1)
FOR FISCAL YEARS 2015 to 2024
GANN ANNUAL APPROPRIATION LIMIT
FISCAL YEAR 2023-24
Appropriations Limitation, imposed by Propositions 4 and 111, establishes a formula to restrict the amount of revenues that can be appropriated in any fiscal year. The Limit is based on actual appropriations for base fiscal year 1978-79 and is increased annually using the growth in population and a price adjustment index, as well as commercial property development within the City during the year. Revenues that are restricted to the limitation are those which are referred to as “proceeds of taxes,” such as sales tax, property tax and business license tax.
The City must adopt an appropriation limit for each fiscal year. Beginning with the fiscal year 1990-1991, the law provides the local agency an option to calculate the adjustment factors by the following:
The percentage change in the California Per Capita Income Either the City’s own population growth or the population growth of the entire County.
In 1980, the State Legislature added Division 9 to Title I of the Government Code to implement Article XIIIB. This legislation required the governing body of each local jurisdiction in California to establish a tax appropriations limit on or before June 30 of each year for the following fiscal year, pursuant to which the City of San Carlos has been establishing this limit since 1981.

Community & Economic Profile
Location
San Carlos, “The City of Good Living,” is located in the center of the San Francisco Bay Area and has everything at its doorstep. San Francisco is 25 miles north and San Jose is 25 miles south. San Carlos boasts an ideal climate, good government, outstanding school system, attractive residential areas, a fine shopping district, excellent restaurants, a modern industrial and commercial area, and plenty of open space. At the northern end of Silicon Valley, San Carlos hosts several technology companies and is the address of many West Coast biotech and medical instrumentation firms. You’ll find friendly, involved people here and an inviting community atmosphere.
History
The first known inhabitants of San Carlos were the Ohlone Indians.
Ohlone is the name that was given to many related groups of Native Americans living along the coast between Monterey and San Francisco. Historians believe that two sub-tribes existed in and near San Carlos, including the Salson to the north of Belmont Creek and the Lhamshin.
In August 1775, Lt. Juan Manuel de Ayala brought his sailing ship, the “San Carlos”, into San Francisco Bay and anchored in what is currently known as Ayala cove. His mission was to develop a map of the Bay on which future Spanish ship captains could rely.
San Carlos formally entered the American era in 1854 when Timothy Guy Phelps became the first American to own and occupy land in the city. Another early settler of San Carlos was Nathanial Brittan. Brittan developed properties between Brittan Avenue and Pulgas Creek in the late 1800s. He helped establish water wells and also granted the Southern Pacific right-of-way for a second set of railroad tracks across his property.
The citizens of San Carlos voted to incorporate o n July 1, 1925. Frederick Drake, known as the “Father of San Carlos,” continued to promote the town and coined the motto “The City of Good Living.” Drake also founded the San Carlos Enquirer (now the Independent newspaper). He was a key organizer of nearby Sequoia High School and established the San Carlos Chamber of Commerce in 1926.
In 1940, San Carlos experienced its first big spurt in population and grew to 3,520 residents. In 1944, Dalmo Victor established the city’s first large electronics plant, followed soon after by Eitel McCullough, a vacuum tubes manufacturing firm.
Establishment of these two firms contributed to the quadrupling of the San Carlos population in the decade after 1940. In 1950, when the population was 14,371, the City boasted a total of 89 industries, wholesalers, manufacture rs, and distributors in a variety of commodities from electronics to cosmetics. By 1958, the electronics industry comprised a substantial segment of the city’s industrial area.

Early in its history, the City of San Carlos adopted the motto “City of Good Living.” That phrase stuck and is still used daily. With an ideal climate, charming neighborhoods, a thriving business/industrial district, and a small airport adjoining a commercial area, San Carlos continually attracts new residents and businesses.
Government Services
The City of San Carlos provides government services to the San Carlos community. The members of the City Council serve as the policy -making body. City voters elect five Council members to staggered four-year terms. The City Council meets regularly on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 600 Elm Street and may call additional special meetings. These meetings are televised on the City’s government access station, Comcast Channel 27, and Uverse Channel 99. All meetings of the City Council, the Planning Commission, and other City committees are open to the public , except when certain personnel matters and legal items are discussed.
The City Council appoint s members to five commissions, one advisory board, and one advisory council to advise it on matters of special interest:
• Parks, Recreation & Culture Commission
• Planning and Transportation Commission
• Museum of San Carlos History
• Residential Design Review Committee
• Economic Development Advisory Commission
• Youth Advisory Council
For additional information regarding each advisory commission, please refer to the San Carlos City Roster, available at the City Clerk’s Office , by calling (650) 802-4222, or on the City’s website at www.cityofsancarlos.org.
Population
The City of San Carlos has grown at a constant pace since its incorporation in 1925. In the 1950s the city had the reputation as the West’s fastest growing town. The population briefly dipped in the 1970s but rose steadily in subsequent years. The 2022 California Department of Finance estimates that 29,837 people currently reside in San Carlos. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) projects that the population in San Carlos will grow to 34,940 by 2040, representing a 17% increase from today. As the population increases, it is important that there are enough jobs, housing, and public services to support growth.
In general, San Carlos residents are older,
have a higher household income , and a
higher chance of being employed than
people in other parts of San Mateo County.
As of 2022, the median age in San Carlos
was 40.7, slightly older than the median
age in San Mateo County of 39.8 and the
Bay Area median age of 38. 3. As the
population ages, it is likely that the need for
housing and services for seniors will
increase.

Economic Data
According to the April 2023 report
from the California Employment
Development Department (EDD), the
unadjusted unemployment rate for the
city increased from 2.3% in March
2022 to 2.8% in April 2023, which is an
increase of 0.5% over the past year .
The unemployment rate reflects that
our local economy remains to be
stable and well . The City of San
Carlos has lower unemployment rate,
compared with the rate of 4.5% for
California and 3. 4% for the nation
during the same period.
San Carlos residents also have a higher median household income than all of San Mateo County and the Bay Area. In 2021 , the median household income was $ 204,570. The 2021 median household income for San Mateo County and the County of San Francisco was $ 133,612 and $126,187 , respectively.
A surge in mortgage interest rates and a shortage of homes for sale suppressed California home sales in April, while the statewide median home price climbed above the $800,000 level for the first time in six months, increasing 3% from $791,490 in March to $814,340. According to data from the California Association of Realtors, the median price of a single- family home in San Mateo County increased slightly from $1.86 million in March 2023 to $1.97 million in April 2023. This represents a decrease of 18%, as compared with the median sales prices of $2.4 million from the same period a year ago. San Mateo’s neighboring counties, San Francisco ($1. 58 million) and Santa Clara ($1. 8 million) median home prices also dropped by 23% and 8.6% respectively, as compared a year ago.
In San Carlos, the median price of a single-family home decreased by $252,750 from $1,869,500 to $1,616,750 from the same period a year ago. The drop in median price from last year was due partly to the strong price surge in early 2022 when homebuyers rushed into the market to take advantage of low rates before the Federal Reserve began aggressively raising rates. A surge in borrowing costs also contributed to the market weakness.

2. From 1921 – 1922, San Carlos was home to car racing.
The Greater San Francisco Speedway was a mile-and-
one-quarter board track located on 140 acres between
McCue Street on the north and Brittan Avenue on the
south between Old County and Industrial Roads. The

facility and 1,200 could be accommodated at
any one time.
4. The Chicken’s Ball of San Carlos was first
performed in 1940 and raised $325 for the public

COMMUNITY SATISFACTION SURVEY – 2023 Results
Providing San Carlos with high- quality services and facilities to its residents in an equitable, sustainable, transparent, responsive, and friendly manner to foster an inclusive, safe, and healthy community now and in the future is the mission statement of the City of San Carlos. To ensure the City is accomplishing this mission, the City conducts two different community surveys. The first type of survey, and the focus of this report, is a Citizen Opinion Survey, which is conducted every two years and serves as a performance measurement tool to understand residents’ needs and priorities and measure how well the City is performing. The second type of survey, is the Community Characteristics Survey, and was last conducted in 2022. The Community Characteristics Survey is designed to provide the City with a better understanding of the San Carlos community itself, including its priorities and lifestyles.
The 2023 Citizen Opinion Survey is completed, and the results are provided in a comprehensive report, available at https://www.ci tyofsancarlos.org/residents/community-surveys. The survey was conducted by True North Research, an experienced and quality team who has conducted these surveys for the City since 2012. This latest survey was conducted during the month of April 2023 with 721 respondents.
Some of the key results of the 2023 survey include:
• Compared with 2021, community satisfaction increased in the following areas:
Percent of residents who perceived that the City manages its finances well increased to 79.8% in 2023 from 78.6% in 2021.
Percent of residents who indicated that they trust the City increased to 80.9% in 2023 from 77.7% in 2021.
Percent of residents who perceived City staff to be professional increased to
93.5% in 2023 from 88.7% in 2021.
Percent of residents who stated that they are satisfied with the C ity’s communications efforts increased to 84% in 2023 from 82.4% in 2021. Percent of residents who expressed that they are satisfied with the City’s efforts to provide municipal services increased to 82.7% in 2023 from 82.1% in 2021.
• Per Table 3 on page 16 of the 2023 Report, ”Satisfaction with Service by Study Year,” respondents expressed statistically significant increases in satisfaction with the City’s efforts to reduce traffic congestion on City streets (+7%) and provide more public parking downtown (+6%) between 2021 and 2023, whereas satisfaction with the City’s efforts to maintain storm drains, sewers, and creeks ( -25%) and maintain a low crime rate ( -5%) declined during the same period.” A change in opinion is considered “statistically significant” when the surveyor can be 95% confident that the differences reflect an actual change in public opinion between the two studies.
• Per Figure 8 on page 13 of the 2023 Report, “Importance of Services,” “Providing fire protection, prevention and emergency medical services” was listed as #1 in 2021 and 2023. “Maintaining storm drains, sewers, and creeks” rose to #2 in 2023 from #7 in 2021. “Provide affordable housing” and “provide more public parking downtown” remained at bottom of the list both years.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 111
• Regarding the City’s communication efforts, page 7 of the 2023 Report states, “Whereas many cities have witnessed a significant decline in satisfaction with city -resident communications over the past decade, San Carlos has managed to keep the overall satisfaction level between 82% and 85% dating back to the first survey in 2014, with 2023’s 84% placing in the upper end of the range. The fact that San Carlos residents primarily rely on city-sponsored sources of information to find out about San Carlos news, events, and programming— including City newsletters, the City’s website, and email—is undoubtedly one of the reasons for this stability in satisfaction over the past nine years.”
• Per Table 1 on page 10, “Quality of Life,” “Limiting growth and development” continues to be one of the top recommended improvements to improve the quality of life in San Carlos since 2016.
• Per Figure 31 on page 37, “Funding Priorities,” of the 13 funding priorities, infrastructure and emergency services took the top five spots. To contrast, “improve network of trails” ranked 10 and “housing programs” ranked 11. 7.
• Per Figure 33 on page 40, “Recreational Amenities,” 62.7% of respondents felt there were not enough swimming pools in the City and more respondent felt there were not enough volleyball courts and pickleball courts, than tennis courts.

CITY OF SAN CARLOS
FINANCIAL POLICIES
The following Financial Policies have been established to ensure that the City’s finances are managed in a manner that will:
• Continue to provide for the delivery of quality services; • Maintain and enhance service delivery as the community grows in accordance with the General Plan;
• Guarantee a balanced budget assuring that the City is always living within its means; and • Establish reserves necessary to meet known and unknown future obligations.
To achieve these goals, the following Financial Policies are presented that include General Policies; Revenue Policies; Cost of Service Policies; Reserves and Fund Balance Policies; Expenditure and Budget Policies; Capital Improvement Policies; Fixed Assets and Infrastructure Asset Policies; Investment Policy and Debt Management Policy.
A. GENERAL POLICIES
1) We will manage our financial assets in a sound and prudent manner. 2) We will maintain sound financial practices in accordance with State law. 3) We will direct the City’s financial resources toward meeting our long- term goals as identified by Council through the Strategic Planning and Team Building Retreat process. 4) We will manage and develop programs to ensure our long- term ability to pay all the costs necessary to provide the level and quality of service required by our citizens. 5) We will maintain accounting systems in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial records will be audited annually by an independent auditing firm.
6) We will establish and maintain investment policies in accordance with State laws in which the major goals are safety and liquidity of investments, above yield.
B. REVENUE POLICIES
1) We will strive to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base that is not overly dependent on any land use, major taxpayer, revenue type, restricted revenue, or external revenue.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 113
2) We will aggressively pursue revenue collection and auditing to assure that moneys due are accurately received in a timely manner.
3) We will seek Federal and State grants and reimbursements for costs whenever possible. 4) We will investigate potential new revenue sources.
5) We will work proactively with the League of California Cities and local communities to monitor legislation that may impact the City financially. 6) We will avoid targeting revenues for specific purposes whenever possible. 7) We will impose user fees when appropriate.
8) We will adopt a user fee policy that establishes desired levels of cost recovery and determines the minimum frequency of user fee reviews.
9) We will maintain and further develop methods to track major revenue sources and evaluate financial trends.
10) We will establish methods to maximize the accuracy of revenue forecasts. 11) Revenues will be estimated using accepted standards and estimates provided by the State and other governmental agencies.
C. COST OF SERVICES POLICIES
1) Fees and charges for services will be determined based on the total direct and indirect cost of the activity, including administrative overhead and depreciation, where applicable. In certain circumstances, it may be appropriate to subsidize fees, where full cost recovery may be unrealistic.
2) We will recover the costs of new facilities and infrastructure necessitated by development, consistent with State law.
3) We will consider requiring large developments to prepare a fiscal analysis that will measure the direct and indirect costs of the project, as well as the benefits to the City. 4) Managers should be aware of the cos t of services and propose the most effective methodology for providing those services.
D. RESERVES AND FUND BALANCE POLICIES (per GASB 54)
1) We will work toward establishing, dedicating and maintaining reserves annually to meet known and estimated future obligations. The hierarchy followed to deplete these reserves is as follows: first unassigned fund balance will be depleted; second assigned fund balances will be deleted at discretion of the City Manager; and lastly committed fund balances will be depleted in accordance with item 3a(ii) or 3b(ii) below, and formal action of the City Council.
2) The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has issued their best practice in determining the appropriate level of unrestricted fund balance in the General Fund to be at a minimum of no less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues or expenses which equates to approximately 17%. The GFOA definition of unrestricted fund balance includes three general categories: committed fund balance, assigned fund balance and unassigned fund balance. For the City’s purpose, we will include committed and assigned balances when reviewing the reserve percentages. The total of these two categories will be maintained at or above the GFOA best practice amount.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 114
3) We will commit amounts of fund balance for specific purposes as determined by formal action of the City Council, which include but are not limited to committing fund balance reserves for the following:
a. Economic Uncertainties (as updated by Council June 13, 2016) i. General Fund committed fund balance for Economic Uncertainties equal to a minimum of 12.5% of the General Fund expenditures with a target of increasing to 20% of General Fund expenditures.
ii. Once established, appropriations from the Economic Uncertainties fund balance commitment can only be made by formal action of the City Council.
Generally, appropriations and access to these funds will be reserved for emergency situations. Examples of such emergencies include, but are not limited to: catastrophic disaster (declared by Governor); budgeted revenue taken by another government entity; or a more than 5% drop in projected revenue to the General Fund.
b. Strategic Property Acquisitions (as approved by Council October 25, 2010) i. General Fund committed fund balance for Strategic Property Acquisitions accumulates funds from the proceeds of future sales of City properties, as directed by the City Manager or City Council.
ii. Once established, appropriations from the Strategic Property Acquisitions fund balance commitment can only be made by formal action of the City Council. Generally, appropriations and access to these funds will be reserved for funding strategic property acquisitions by the City. c. Equipment and Vehicle Replacement Reserves
i. A Replacement Fund will be maintained as a separate fund for budgetary purposes to fund the replacement costs of existing non- sewer-related vehicles, major equipment and information technology items when they reach the end of their useful liv es. The sewer -related items will be maintained in the Wastewater Fund. The Replacement Fund will be analyzed by staff at least annually as part of the budget update process, for changes in assets, useful lives, estimated replacement costs and appropriate funding levels. This fund is to be maintained at a level sufficient to fund 100% of the assets, based on estimated replacement costs and useful lives.
4) We will assign amounts of fund balance for specific purposes as determined by City Manager recommendation, as delegated by formal action of the City Council, which include but are not limited to assigning fund balance reserves for the following:
a. Liability insurance.
b. State Budget Contingencies.
c. Undesignated litigation.
d. Replacement of facilities and infrastructure.
e. Continuing appropriations (encumbrances and projects carried over from a prior year to the new fiscal year).
f. Debt service for future debt obligations/payments.

CITY OF SAN CARLOS
DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
ADOPTED MAY 22, 2023
RESOLUTION 2023-058
This Debt Management Policy (this “Policy”) establishes the parameters within which debt may be issued and administered by the City of San Carlos, the San Carlos Housing Authority and each other entity for which the City Council of the City serves as the governing body, other than the Successor Agency to the San Carlos Redevelopment Agency. The Successor Agency to the San Carlos Redevelopment Agency has adopted a separate debt management policy.
A. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Policy is to establish guidelines and parameters for the effective governance, management and administration of debt and other financing obligations issued by the City.
As used in this Policy, “City” shall mean the City of San Carlos and/or its related entities, as the context may require. As used in this Policy, “debt” shall be interpreted broadly to mean bonds, notes, certificates of participation, financing leases, or other financing obligations, but the use of such term in this Policy shall be solely for convenience and shall not be interpreted to characterize any such obligation as an indebtedness or debt within the meaning of any constitutional debt limitation where the substance and terms of the obligation comport with exceptions thereto. This Policy shall apply to all debt issued or sold to third party lenders or investors and does not pertain to City internal inter-fund borrowings or any employee benefit obligations.
B. BACKGROUND
The City and its related entities are committed to fiscal sustainability by employing long- term financial planning efforts, maintaining appropriate reserves levels and employing prudent practices in governance, management, budget administration and financial reporting.
Debt levels and their related annual costs are important long- term obligations that must be managed within available resources. A disciplined thoughtful approach to debt management includes policies that provide guidelines for the City and i ts related entities to manage their collective debt program in line with those resources. Therefore, the objective of this policy is to
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 121
provide written guidelines and restrictions concerning the amount and type of debt and other financing obligations issued by the City and its related entities and the ongoing management of the debt portfolio.
This Policy is intended to improve the quality of decisions, assist with the determination of the structure of debt issuance, identify policy goals, and demonstrate a commitment to long- term financial planning, including a multi-year capital plan. Adherence to a local debt policy signals to rating agencies and the capital markets that a government is well managed and should meet its obligations in a timely manner.
C. CONDITIONS AND PURPOSES OF DEBT ISSUANCE
1. Acceptable Conditions for the Use of Debt
The City believes that prudent amounts of debt can be an equitable and cost - effective means of financing major infrastructure and capital asset and project needs of the City. Debt will be considered to finance such projects if:
a) The project has been, or will be, included in the City’s capital improvement plan or has otherwise been coordinated with the City’s planning goals and objectives.
b) The project can be financed with debt not exceeding the term specified in Section E.1 of this Policy, to assure that long- term debt is not issued to finance projects with a short useful life.
c) It is the most cost-effective funding means available to the City, taking into account cash flow needs and other funding alternatives.
d) It is fiscally prudent and meets the guidelines of this Policy. Any consideration of debt financing shall consider financial alternatives, including pay-as-you-go funding, proceeds derived from development or redevelopment of existing land and capital assets owned by the City, and use of existing or future cash reserves, or combinations thereof.
e) The project to be financed will provide benefit to constituents over multiple years.
2. Acceptable Uses of Debt and Proceeds of Debt
The primary purpose of debt is to finance one of the following:
a) The City will consider long -term financing for the acquisition, substantial refurbishment, replacement, or expansion of capital assets (including but not limited to land improvements, infrastructure projects, equipment and water rights) for the following purposes:
i. Acquisition and or improvement of land, right-of-way or long-term easements.
ii. Acquisition of a capital asset with a useful life of three or more years.
iii. Construction or reconstruction of a facility.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 122
iv. Although not the primary purpose of the financing effort, project reimbursables that include project planning design, engineering and other preconstruction efforts; project -associated furniture fixtures and equipment; capitalized interest, original issue discount, underwriter’s discount, and other costs of issuance.
b) Refunding, refinancing, or restructuring debt (including without limitation the refinancing or advance funding of City pension obligations), subject to refunding objectives and parameters discussed in Section G.
3. Short-Term Debt
a) In the event of temporary shortfalls in cash flow for City operation costs due to timing of receipt of revenues and the lack of cash on hand to cover the temporary deficit, the City may consider interim or cash flow financing, such as anticipation notes. In compliance with applicable state law, any such notes shall be payable either (i) not later than the last day of the fiscal year in which it is issued, or (ii) during the fiscal year succeeding the fiscal year in which issued, but in no event later than 15 months after the date of issue, and only if such note is payable only from revenue received or accrued during the fiscal year in which it was issued.
b) Short-term debt may be used to finance short-lived capital projects, such as lease purchase financing or equipment.
c) Prior to issuance of any short-term debt, a reliable revenue source shall be identified for repayment of the debt.
4. Internal Control Procedures Concerning Use of Proceeds of Debt
One of the City’s priorities in the management of debt is to assure that the proceeds of the debt will be directed to the intended use for which the debt has been issued.
In furtherance of this priority, the following procedures shall apply:
a) The Administrative Services Department – Finance Division (Finance Division) shall retain, for the applicable period specified in Section H.4. of this Policy, a copy of each annual report filed with the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (“ CDIAC”) pursuant to Section 8855(k) of the California Government Code concerning (1) debt authorized during the applicable reporting period (whether issued or not), (2) debt outstanding during the reporting period, and (3) the use during the reporting peri od of proceeds of issued debt.
b) In connection with the preparation of each annual report to be filed with CDIAC pursuant to Section 8855(k) of the California Government Code, the Finance Division shall keep a record of the original intended use for which the debt has been issued, and indicate whether the proceeds spent during the applicable one- year reporting period for such annual report comport with the intended use (at the time of original issuance or as modified pursuant to the following sentence). If a change in intended use has been authorized subsequent to the original issuance of the debt, the
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 123
Finance Division shall indicate in the record when the change in use was authorized and whether the City Council, City Manager, or another City official has authorized the change in intended use. The Administrative Services Director or his or her designee shall report apparent deviations from the intended use in debt proceeds to the City Manager for further discussion, and if the City Manager determines appropriate in consultation with legal counsel (which may be bond counsel, if applicable, or the City Attorney), to the City Council.
c) If the debt has been issued to finance a capital project and the project timeline or scope of project has changed in a way that all or a portion of the debt proceeds cannot be expended on the original project, the Administrative Services Director shall consult with the City Manager and legal counsel (which may be bond counsel, if applicable, or the City Attorney) as to available alternatives for the expenditure of the remaining debt proceeds (including prepayment of the debt).
d) Financings on behalf of other entities - The City may also find it beneficial to issue debt on behalf of other governmental agencies, such as Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW), to further the public purposes of the City. In such cases, the City shall take reasonable steps to confirm the f inancial feasibility of the project to be financed and the financial solvency of any borrower and that the issuance of such debt is consistent with the policies set forth herein.
D. TYPE OF FINANCING INSTRUMENTS; AFFORDABILITY AND PLANNING POLICIES
The City recognizes that there are numerous types of financing structures and funding sources available, each with specific benefits, risks, and costs. All potential funding sources are reviewed by management within the context of this Policy and the overall portfolio to ensure that any financial product or structure is consistent with the City’s objectives. Regardless of what financing structure(s) is utilized, due diligence review must be performed for each transaction, including the quantification of potential risks and benefits, and analysis of the impact on City creditworthiness and debt affordability and capacity.
Prior to the issuance of debt or other financing obligations to finance a project, the City will carefully consider the overall long-term affordability of the proposed debt issuance. The City shall not assume more debt or other financing obligations without conducting an objective analysis of the City’s ability to assume and support additional debt service payments. The City will consider its long-term revenue and expenditure trends, the impact on operational flexibility and the overall debt burden on the taxpayers. The evaluation process shall include a review of generally accepted measures of affordability and will strive to achieve and or maintain debt levels consistent with its current operating and capital needs.
1. General Fund-Supported Debt – General Fund Supported Debt generally include Certificates of Participation (“COPs”) and Lease Revenue Bonds (“LRBs”) which are lease obligations that are secured by an installment sale or by a lease -back arrangement between the City and another public entity. Typically, the City appropriates available General Fund moneys to pay the lease payments to the other public entity and, in turn, the public entity uses such lease payments received to pay debt service on the bonds or Certificates of Participation.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 124
General Fund Supported Debt may also include bonds issued to refund obligations imposed by law, such as judgments (judgment obligation bonds (“JOBs”)) or unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities for pension plans (pension obligation bonds (“POBs”)).
These obligations do not constitute indebtedness under the state constitutional debt limitation and, therefore, are not subject to voter approval.
Payments to be made under valid leases are payable only in the year in which use and occupancy of the leased property is available, and lease payments may not be accelerated. Lease financing requires the fair market rental value of the leased property to be equal to or greater than the required debt service or lease payment schedule. The lessee (the City) is obligated to include in its Annual Budget and appropriate the rental payments that are due and payable during each fiscal year the lessee has use of the leased property.
The City should strive to maintain its net General Fund-backed annual debt service at or less than [8%] of available annually budgeted revenue. This ratio is defined as the City’s annual debt service requirements on General Fund Supported Debt (including, but not limited to, COPs, LRBs, JOBs, and POBs) compared to total annual General Fund Revenues net of inter-fund transfers out.
2. Revenue Bonds – Long-term obligations payable solely from specific special fund sources, in general, are not subject to a debt limitation. Examples of such long- term obligations include those which are payable from a special fund consisting of restricted revenues or user fees (Enterprise Revenues) and revenues derived from the system of which the project being funded is a part.
In determining the affordability of proposed revenue bonds, the City will perform an analysis comparing projected annual net revenues (exclusive of depreciation which is a non-cash related expense) to estimated annual debt service. The City should strive to maintain a coverage ratio of 110% (or such higher coverage ratio included in the City’s existing financing documents), using historical and/or projected net revenues to cover annual debt service for bonds. To the extent necessary, the City shall undertake proceedings for a rate increase to cover both operations and debt service costs, and create debt service reserve funds to maintain the required coverage ratio.
The City may enter into agreements and other long- term obligations supporting revenue bonds issued by joint powers authorities of whom the City is a member, including, for example, Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) and South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA).
3. Special Districts Financing – Special districts primarily consist of Community Facilities Districts (“CFDs”) and 1913/1915 Act Assessment Districts (“Assessment Districts”). The City will consider requests for special district formation and debt issuance when such requests address a public need or provide a public benefit.
Each application will be considered on a case by case basis, and the Finance Department may not recommend a financing if it is determined that the financing could be detrimental to the debt position or the best interests of the City.
4. General Obligation Bonds – Notwithstanding their name, General Obligation Bonds are not general obligations of the City, but instead they are payable from
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 125
and secured by a dedicated, voter -approved property tax override rate ( i.e., a property tax in excess of the 1% basic ad valorem pro perty tax rate which has received the approving two- thirds vote of the City’s electorate). While the dedicated revenue stream to repay the debt makes General Obligation Bonds an attractive option, additional considerations for this financing mechanism incl ude the time and expense of an election, the possibility that the electorate will not approve the ballot measure, and the legal bonding capacity limit of the assessed value of all taxable property within the City. (At the time of the adoption of this Policy, the legal bonding capacity limit for a California general law city is 3.75% of the assessed value of all taxable property within the City.)
5. Tax Increment Financing – Tax increment financing is a financing method whereby a portion of ad valorem property taxes (commonly called the “tax increment”) that are allocated to an entity, such as a successor agency to redevelopment agency (Successor Agency), an enhanced infrastructure financing district (“EIFD”), a community revitalization and investment authority (CRIA) or an infrastructure and revitalization financing district (“IRFD”), and the entity is permitted to incur debt payable from and secured by the tax increment revenues.
While tax increment debt for redevelopment agencies and Successor Agencies is entitled to the benefits of Article XVI, Section 16, of the California Constitution, no similar provision exists for EIFDs, CRIAs and IRFDs at the time of adoption of this Policy. Therefore, when considering EIFD, CRIA or IRFD financing, or other types of tax increment financing which may be permitted by law in the future, debt limit concerns should be analyzed with respect to the proposed structure and taken into account in determining the practical viability of the proposed financing.
6. Conduit Debt – Conduit financing provides for the issuance of securities by a government agency to finance a project of a third party, such as a non- profit organization or other private entity. The City may sponsor conduit financings for those activities that have a general public purpose and are consistent with the City’s overall service and policy objectives. Unless a compelling public policy rationale exists, such conduit financings will not in any way pledge the City’s faith and credit.
7. Short-Term and Other Debt – Tax and revenue anticipation notes, bond or grant anticipation notes, etc.
E. STRUCTURE OF DEBT
1. Term of Debt – In keeping with Internal Revenue Service regulations for tax - exempt financing obligations, the weighted average maturity of the debt should not exceed 120 percent of the weighted average economic life of the facilities or projects to be financed, unless specific circumstances exist that would mitigate the extension of time to repay the debt and it would not cause the City to violate any covenants to maintain the tax-exempt status of such debt, if applicable.
2. Rapidity of Debt Payment; Level Payment – To the extent practical, bonds will be amortized on a level repayment basis, and revenue bonds will be amortized on a level repayment basis considering the forecasted available pledged revenues to achieve the lowest rates possible. Bond repayments should not increase on an annual basis in excess of 2% without a dedicated and supporting revenue funding stream.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 126
Accelerated repayment schedules reduce debt burden faster and reduce total borrowing costs. The Administrative Services Department will amortize debt through the most financially advantageous debt structure and to the extent possible, match the City’s projected cash flow to the anticipated debt service payments. “Backloading” of debt service will be considered only when one or more of the following occur:
a) Natural disasters or extraordinary or unanticipated external factors make payments on the debt in early years prohibitive.
b) The benefits derived from the debt issuance can clearly be demonstrated to be greater in the future than in the present.
c) Such structuring i s beneficial to the aggregate overall debt payment schedule or achieves measurable interest savings.
d) Such structuring will allow debt service to more closely match projected revenues, whether due to lower project revenues during the early years of the project’s operation, inflation escalators in the enterprise user rates, or other quantifiable reasons.
3. Serial Bonds, Term Bonds, and Capital Appreciation Bonds – For each issuance, the City will select serial bonds or term bonds, or both. On the occasions where circumstances warrant, Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABs) may be used.
The decision to use term, serial, or CAB bonds is driven based on market conditions.
4. Reserve Funds – To the extent that the use of available City moneys to fund a reserve fund provides an economic benefit that offsets the cost of financing the reserve fund from bond proceeds (as determined by the Administrative Services Director in consultation with the City’s municipal advisor and, if applicable, the underwriter for the bonds), the City may use legally permitted moneys to fund a reserve fund (in cash or through the purchase of a debt service reserve surety bond or insurance policy) for the proposed bonds, up to the maximum amount permitted by applicable law or regulation. Typically, this amount is equal to the least of: (i) maximum annual debt service on the bonds, (ii) 10% of the principal amount of the bonds (or 10% of the sale proceeds of the bonds, within the meaning of Section 148 of the federal Internal Revenue Code) , or (iii) 125% of average annual debt service on the bonds.
F. USE OF ALTERNATIVE DEBT INSTRUMENTS
Alternative debt instruments and financing structures sometimes can provide a lower cost of borrowing in the short run, but may involve greater medium-term or long-term risk. Due diligence review must be performed for each transaction, including the quantification of potential risks and benefits, analysis of the impact on City creditworthiness and debt affordability and capacity, and an evaluation of the ability of the City to withstand the medium-term or long-term risk attendant to alternative debt instruments, including the feasibility of exit strategies.
1. Variable Rate Debt
Variable rate debt affords the City the potential to achieve a lower cost debt depending on market conditions. However, the City will not seek the use of variable-rate debt due to the potential risks of such instruments.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 127
2. Derivatives
The City will not use derivative products for any transaction, nor will the City allow any financing structure to create current or future exposure to the risks of derivatives.
G. REFUNDING GUIDELINES
The Administrative Services Director shall monitor all outstanding City debt obligations for potential refinancing opportunities. The City will consider refinancing of outstanding debt to achieve annual savings or to refinance a bullet payment or spike in debt service. Except for instances in which a bullet payment or spike in debt service is being refinanced, absent a compelling reason or financial benefit to the City, any refinancing should not result in an increase to the weighted average life of the refinanced debt.
Except for instances in which a bullet payment or spike in debt service is being refinanced, the City will generally seek to achieve debt service savings which, on a net present value basis, are at least 3% of the debt being refinanced. The net present val ue assessment shall factor in all costs, including issuance, escrow, and foregone interest earnings of any contributed funds on hand. Any potential refinancing shall additionally consider whether an alternative refinancing opportunity with higher savings is reasonably expected in the future. Refundings which produce a net present value savings of less than 3% will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
H. MARKET COMMUNICATION, ADMINISTRATION, AND REPORTING
1. Rating Agency Relations and Annual or Ongoing Surveillance – The Administrative Services Director shall be responsible for maintaining the City’s relationships with S&P Global Ratings, Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, as applicable. These agencies’ rating criteria often change and the City cannot control the decisions made by any rating agency. However, for each debt issue that the City will seek a rating assignment, the City will strive to obtain and maintain the highest possible underlying, uninsured rating. In addition to general communication, the Administrative Services Director shall:
a) Ensure the rating agencies are provided updated financial statements of the City as they become publicly available.
b) Communicate with credit analysts at each agency as may be requested by the agencies.
c) Prior to each proposed new debt issuance, schedule meetings or conference calls with agency analysts and provide a thorough update on the City’s financial position, including the impacts of the pr oposed debt issuance.
2. Council Communication – The Administrative Services Director should report feedback from rating agencies, when and if available, regarding the City’s financial strengths and weaknesses and areas of concern relating to weaknesses as they pertain to maintaining the City’s existing credit ratings.
3. Continuing Disclosure Compliance – The City shall remain in compliance with Rule 15c2-12, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 128
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by filing (to the extent required by the applicable continuing disclosure undertaking) its annual financial statements and other financial and operating data for the benefit of its bondholders within 270 days of the close of the fiscal year, or by such other annual deadline required in any continuing disclosure agreement or certificate for any debt issue. The City shall maintain a log or file evidencing that all continuing disclosure filings have been made promptly.
4. Debt Issue Record-Keeping – A copy of all debt-related records shall be retained at the City’s offices. At minimum, these records shall include all official statements, bond legal documents/transcripts, resolutions, trustee statements, leases, and title reports for each City financing (to the extent available).
Such records shall be retained while any bonds of an issue are outstanding and during the three-year period following the final maturity or redemption of the bond issue or, if later, while any bonds that refund bonds of that original issue are outstanding and for the three year period following the final maturity or redemption date of the latest refunding bond issue.
5. Arbitrage Rebate – The use of bond proceeds and their investments must be monitored to ensure compliance with all arbitrage rebate requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and related Internal Revenue Service regulations, in keeping with the covenants of the City and/or related entity in the tax certificate for any federally tax- exempt financing. The Administrative Services Director shall ensure that all bond proceeds and investments are tracked in a manner which facilitates accurate calculation; and, if a rebate payment is due, such payment is made in a timely manner.
I. CREDIT RATINGS
The City will consider published ratings agency guidelines regarding best financial practices and guidelines for structuring its capital funding and debt strategies to maintain the highest possible credit ratings consistent with its current operating and capital needs.
J. SB 1029 COMPLIANCE
Senate Bill 1029, signed by Governor Brown on September 12, 2016, and enacted as Chapter 307, Statutes of 2016, requires issuers to adopt debt policies addressing each of the five items below:

1 CITY OF SAN CARLOS AND THE SAN CARLOS SUCCESSOR AGENCY Debt Disclosure Procedure Policy
APPLICABLE CODES AND REGULATIONS:
Section 17 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under those acts, particularly “Rule 10b-5” under the 1934 Act.
PURPOSE:
These Debt Disclosure Procedures (the “Procedures”) memorialize and communicate procedures in connection with obligations, including notes, bonds, loans and other debt obligations, issued by or on behalf of the City of San Carlos and the San Carlos Successor Agency (the “City”), or for which the City supplies material information to potential purchasers of the obligations (such as bonds for Silicon Valley Clean Water), so as to ensure that the City continues to comply with all applicable disclosure obligations and requirements under the federal securities laws.
BACKGROUND:
The City may from time to time issue revenue bonds, notes, loans or other debt obligations or supply material information to potential purchasers of bonds, notes, loans or other debt obligations issued by other entities (such as Silicon Valley Clean Water) (collectively, “Obligations”) in order to fund or refund capital investments, other long-term programs and working capital needs . In offering Obligations to the public, and at other times when the City makes certain reports, the City must comply with the “anti -fraud rules” of federal securities laws. (“Anti -fraud rules” refers to Section 17 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under those acts , particularly “Rule 10b-5” under the 1934 Act.)
The core requirement of these rules is that potential investors in Obligations must be provided with all “material” information relating to the offered Obligations. The information provided to investors must not contain any material misstatements, and or omit material information that would be necessary to provide to investors a complete and transparent description of the Obligations and the City ’s financial condition. In the context of the sale of securities, a fact is generally considered to be “material” if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it to be important in determining whether or not to purchase the securities being offered.
When Obligations are issued to the public, the two central disclosure documents that are prepared are a preliminary official statement (“POS”) and a final official statement (“OS”, and collectively with the POS, “Official Statement”). The Official Statement generally consists of : (i) the forepart that describes the specific transaction including maturity dates, interest rates, redemption provisions, the specific type of financing, the project and other matters particular to the financing; (ii) a section that provides information on the City ( the “ City Section”) ; and ( iii) various other appendices, including the City’s audited financial report, form of the proposed legal opinion and forms of continuing disclosure undertaking s of the City . Investors use the Official Statement as
one of their primary resources for making informed investment decisions regarding the Obligations.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 131
2 DISCLOSURE PROCEDURE:
When the City determines to issue Obligations (or participate in an offering of Obligations being undertaken by another entity), the City Manager requests the involved departments to commence preparation of the portions of the Official Statement (including particularly the City Section) for which they are responsible. While the general format and content of the Official Statement may not normally change substantially from offering to offering, except as necessary to reflect major events, the City Manager and other relevant City staff are responsible for reviewing and preparing or updating the portion of the Official Statement that is within their particular areas of knowledge.
Once the draft POS has been substantially updated, the entire draft POS is shared with the City Council for review and input before approval.
Members of the financing team, including Bond and Disclosure Counsel and a municipal advisor (the “Municipal Advisor”), assist staff in determining the materiality of any particular item and in the development of specific language in the City Section. Members of the financing team also assist the City in the development of a “big picture” overview of the City ’s financial condition, included in the City Section. This overview highlights particular areas of interest . Bond and Disclosure Counsel has a confidential, attorney -client relationship with officials and staff of the City.
The City Manager, Administrative Services Director, or a member of the financing team at the direction thereof, schedules one or more meetings or conference calls with the financing team (which may include City officials, City Attorney, Bond and Disclosure Counsel, the City’s Municipal Advisor (and the underwriters of the Obligations, and the underwriters’ counsel, if the proposed financing is being undertaken as a negotiated transaction)). New drafts of the forepart of the draft POS and the City Section are then circulated and discussed. Such communications may occur via electronic means rather than by meetings or conference calls. During this part of the process, there is substantial contact among City staff and other members of the financing team to discuss issues that may arise, determine the materiality of particular items and ascertain the prominence in which the items should be disclosed.
Prior to distributing a POS to potential investors, there is typically a formal conference call with City officials involved in the preparation of the POS and members of the financing team (and the underwriters and the underwriter s’ counsel, if the financing is a negotiated transaction) during which the POS is reviewed in its entirety to obtain final comments and to allow the underwriters (if the proposed financing is being undertaken as a negotiated transaction) , to ask questions of the City’s senior officials. This is referred to as a “due diligence” meeting.
A substantially final form of the POS is provi ded to the members of the City Council in advance of approval to afford such members an opportunity to review the POS, ask questions and make comments. The substantially final form of the POS is approved by the City Council, which generally authorizes certain senior staff to make additional corrections, changes and updates to the POS in consultation with the City Attorney and Bond and Disclosure Counsel.
At the time the POS is posted for review by potential investors, senior City officials execute certificates deeming certain portions of the POS complete (except for certain pricing terms) as required by SEC Rule 15c2-12.
Between the posting of the POS for review by potential investors and delivery of the final OS to the underwriter for redelivery to actual investors in the Obligations, any changes and developments will have been incorporated into the POS, including particularly the City Section, if

3 required. If necessary, to reflect developments following publication of the POS or OS, as applicable, supplements will be prepared and published.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, one or more senior City officials execute certificates stating that certain portions of the OS, as of the date of each OS and as of the date of closing, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to ensure the statements contained in the OS, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, are not misleading. The City Attorney also provides an opinion letter (generally addressed to the underwriter s) advising that information contained in the City Section, as applicable (or specified portions thereof) as of its date did not, and as of the date of the closing, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to ensure the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, are not misleading. The City Attorney does not opine to the underwriters or to other third parties as to any financial, statistical, economic or demographic data or forecasts, charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions or expressions of opinion and certain other matters that are customarily excluded. Bond and Disclosure Counsel also provides a negative assurance letter (addressed to the underwriters) with respect to the City Section. Bond and Disclosure Counsel does not give negative assurances to the underwriters or to other third parties as to any financial, statistical, economic or demographic data or forecasts, charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions or expressions of opinion, or information contained in appendices to the OS and certain other matters that are customarily excluded.
CITY SECTION:
The information contained in the City Section is developed by personnel under the direction of the City Manager, with the assistance of the financing team. In certain circumstances, additional officials will be involved, as necessary. The following principles govern the work of the respective staff that contribute information to the City Section:
• City staff members involved in the disclosure process are responsible for being familiar with their responsibilities under federal securities laws as described above. • City staff involved in the disclosure process should err on the side of raising issues when preparing or reviewing information for disclosure. Officials and staff are encouraged to consult the City Attorney and Bond and Disclosure Counsel if there are questions regarding whether an issue is material or not.
• Care should be taken not to shortcut or eliminate any steps outlined in the Procedures on an ad hoc basis. However, the Procedures are not necessarily intended to be a rigid list of procedural requirements, but instead to provide guidelines for disclosure review. If warranted, based on experience during financings or because of additional SEC pronouncements or other reasons, the City should consider revisions to the Procedures. • The pr ocess of updating the City Section from transaction to transaction should not be viewed as being limited to updating tables and numerical information. While it is not anticipated that there will be major changes in the form and content of the City Section at the time of each update, everyone involved in the process should consider the need for revisions in the form, content and tone of the sections for which they are responsible at the time of each update.
• The City must make sure that the staff involved in the disclosure process is of sufficient seniority such that it is reasonable to believe that, collectively, they are in possession of material information relating to the City, its operations and its finances.

4 TRAINING:
Periodic training for City staff involved in the preparation of the Official Statement (including the City Section) is coordinated by the finance team and /or the Administrative Services Director .
These training sessions are provided to assist staff members involved in identifying relevant disclosure information to be included in the City Section. The training sessions also provide an overview of federal laws relating to disclosure, situations in which disclosure rules apply, the purpose of the Official Statement and the City Section, a description of previous SEC enforcement actions and a discussion of recent developments in the area of municipal disclosure. Attendees at the training sessions are provided the opportunity to ask questions of finance team members, including the City A ttorney, concerning disclosure obligations and are encouraged to contact members of the finance team at any time if they have questions.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS:
In connection with the issuance or execution and delivery of Obligations, the City has entered into (and may in the future enter into) contractual agreements (“Continuing Disclosure Certificates”) to provide its audited financial statements and notice of certain events relating to the Obligations specified in the Continuing Disclosure Certificates. The City must comply with the specific requirements of each Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City’s Continuing Disclosure Certificates generally require that the annual reports be filed no later than nine months after the end of the City ’s fiscal year (currently March 31 of each year, based on a fiscal year ending on June 30), and listed event notices are generally required to be filed within 10 business days of their occurrence.
Specific events that require “ listed event” notices are set forth in each particular Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The SEC adopted amendments to SEC Rule 15c2-12, effective February 27, 2019, adding two new listed events, as detailed in Exhibit A attached hereto. Importantly, these new events apply only to Continuing Disclosure Certificates entered into by the City after the February 27, 2019 effective date of the amendments.
The City shall be responsible for preparing and filing the annual reports and listed event notices required pursuant to the Continuing Disclosure Certificates. Particular care shall be paid to the timely filing of any changes in credit ratings on Obligations (including changes in the credit ratings of insurers of particular Obligations).
In addition, the City Attorney, City Manager, or other City staff will provide written notice to the Administrative Services Director of any default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification of terms (only if material or may reflect financial difficulties), or other similar events (collectively, a “Potentially Reportable Event”) under any agreement or obligation to which the City is a party and that may be a “financial obligation” as discussed below. Such written notice should be provided by the City Attorney to the Administrative Services Director as soon as the City Attorney receives written notice by staff, consultants, or external parties of such event or receives written notice of such event so that the Administrative Services Director can determine, with the assistance of D isclosure Counsel, whether notice of such Potentially Reportable Event is required to be filed on the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) portal pursuant to the disclosure requirements of SEC Rule 15c2-12. If filing on EMMA is required, the filing is due within 10 business days of such Potentially Reportable Event to comply with the continuing disclosure undertaking for the various debt obligations of the City. As noted above, the new reporting
10.a

5 obligations apply only to Continuing Disclosure Certificates entered into by the City after the February 27, 2019 effective date of the amendments to SEC Rule 15c2-12.
For the City’s obligations and for those that the City partakes, the City Attorney, City Manager, or other City staff will report to the Administrative Services Director the execution by the City of any agreement or other obligation that might constitute a “financial obligation” for purposes of SEC Rule 15c2- 12 and that is entered into after February 27 , 2019. Amendments to existing agreements or obligations with “financial obligation” that relate to covenants, events of default, remedies, priority rights, or other similar terms should be reported to the Administrative Services Director as soon as the City Attorney or such other senior staff is receives written notice by City staff, consultants, or external parties of such event or receives a written notice of such amendment requests. Notice to the Administrative Services Director is necessary so that the Administrative Services Director can determine, with the assistance of D isclosure Counsel, whether such agreement or other obligation constitutes a material “financial obligation” for purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12. If such agreement or other obligation is determined to be a material “financial obligation” or a material amendment to a “financial obligation” described above, notice thereof would be required to be filed on EMMA within 10 business days of execution or incurrence. As noted above, the new reporti ng obligations apply only to Continuing Disclosure Certificates entered into by the City after the February 27, 2019 effective date of the amendments to SEC Rule 15c2-12.
The types of agreements or other obligations that could constitute “financial obligations” and that could need to be reported on EMMA are discussed in the memorandum from Jones Hall, which serves as B ond and disclosure Counsel to the City and the San Carlos Successor Agency, as well as Silicon Valley Clean Water, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

RECOMMENDATION S FOR ISSUERS REGARDING
THE 2019 AMENDMENTS TO RULE 15C2 -12
February 2019
BACKGROUND
Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, requires that before the issuance of municipal securities to investors in a public sale, underwriters must reasonably determine that the issuer and other obligated persons have undertaken to provide certain disclosure information to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”) through its internet based EMMA system.
This information generally consists of financial and operating data and audited financial statements, which must be filed at least annually, and notices of certain listed events, notice of which must be filed within 10 business days after they occur . The issuer’s undertaking to provide this information is detailed in a continuing disclosure certificate or agreement signed in connection with the issuance of municipal securities.
AMENDMENTS TO THE RULE
In response to concerns that municipal bond investors were not receiving material information regarding private placements or bank loan transactions, the SEC has added two new listed events to the existing 14 listed events:
(15) incurrence of a financial obligation of the obligated person, if material, or agreement to covenants, events of default, remedies, priority rights or other similar terms of a financial obligation, any of which affect security holders, if material; and (16) default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification of terms or other similar events under a financial obligation of an issuer, if any such event reflects financial difficulties.
These new listed events must be included in all continuing disclosure undertakings for transactions closing on or after February 27, 2019 (the “Compliance Date”) .
As used in new listed events 15 and 16, a “financial obligation” is (i) a debt obligation; (ii) a derivative instrument entered into in connection with, or pledged as security or a source of payment for, an existing or planned debt obligation; or (iii) a guarantee of (i) or (ii).
Exhibit B
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 139
2 Notably, financial obligations are not (i) municipal securities for which a final official statement is provided to the MSRB, regardless of whether such filing is required under the Rule, provided that a continuing disclosure undertaking is also entered into, or (ii) ordinary financial and operating liabilities incurred in the normal course of business by an issuer.
Therefore, a “ financial obligation ” i s generally the incurrence of debt in a private transaction, without a public offering of securities that would trigger its own continuing disclos ure obligations. A “financial obligation” can include short-term and long -term obligations, regardless of whether such obligations are identified as securities, loans, leases or otherwise. Leases that may be considered financial obligations include privately placed certificates of participation and lease financings, but would likely not include operating leases of the issuer.
New listed event 15 applies only applies to financial obligations or covenants entered into after the Compliance Date . Importantly for issuers , there is no requirement to retroactively disclose private placement or bank loan transactions that closed before Compliance Date .
New listed event 16, however, requires the reporting of defaults, events of acceleration, termination events, modification of terms , or other similar events for any financial obligations outstanding, whether entered into before or after a continuing disclosure undertaking entered into on or after Compliance Date . The SEC has noted that it believes that ho lding an issuer responsible for any of its financial obligations for purposes of new listed event 16, regardless of when it was incurred, should not be overly burdensome since such events are significant in nature, issuers should be aware that such events have occurred , without the need for additional monitoring.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ISSUERS
New Continuing Disclosure Undertakings. All continuing disclosure undertakings entered into for transactions closing on or after the Compliance Date need to include new listed event 15 and new listed event 16 in order to comply with the Rule.
Reporting New Financial Obligations . In order to be in a position to file a listed event notice with respect to new listed event 15, issuers should be ready to determine whether or not a future borrowing or other transaction constitutes a “financial obligation, ” and if so, determine whether the financial obligation would be material to investors in the issuer’s bonds issued on or after the Compliance Date. If a new financ ial obligation is determined to be material, a notice must be filed on EMMA within 10 business days of the incurrence of the financial obligation.
Issuers should consider whether they will, as a matter of course, be posting entire transaction documents to EMMA, summaries of the material terms of the documents, or evaluate and decide on a case -by-case basis.
Reporting Events With Respect to Existing Financial Obligations. In order to be in a position to file a listed event notice with respect new listed event 16, issuers should begin examining all of their existing financial obligations, whether or not considered material, and creating a database of such financial obligations. Issuers may also want to identify covenants, events of defaults, remedies, priority rights and other similar terms in an effort to be prepared to easily identify events that may constitute a default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification o f terms or other similar event reflecting financial difficulty pursuant to new listed
10.a

Packet Pg. 140
3 event 16. If the issuer determines that such an event has taken place, a notice must be filed on EMMA within 10 business days.
Issuers of municipal securities must be ready to comply with the amendments to the Rule on the Compliance Date , February 27, 2019 . The attorneys at Jones Hall can assist with any questions related to the amendments to the Rule, or the implementation of policies and procedures to ensure compli ance.

CITY OF SAN CARLOS
2023 STRATEGIC PLAN
THE SAN CARLOS STRATEGIC PLAN
The
San Carlos Strategic Plan identifies current issues, needs and interests that are of strategic importance to the quality of life of the community. Addressing these issues requires the leadership focus of the City’s elected officials and professional staff for an extended period of time, typically several years. The Strategic Plan is not a summary of all City services. The issues identified in the plan are unique because they have an urgent impact on the community and because they are complex.
S
trategic goals are a central feature of the Strategic Plan. These are established to find ways to address the strategic issues now and into the foreseeable future. If a solution is found, and there is an on-going need to address the issue, this will occur through the C ity’s on-going service delivery system. At that time, the issue will no longer be identified as a strategic goal.
HO
W THE S TRATEGIC PLAN IS DEVELOPED
The
Strategic Plan is developed through an annual process that involves the City Council and City professional staff in facilitated, collaborative working sessions. The process is completed early each year so that the Strategic Plan can be incorporated into the City’s budget.
The
plan is a document comprised of the City’s mission, vision and core values statements, the strategic goals and objectives for the next planning period and detailed work plans that will accomplish the goals.
S
trategic goals are identified based on the knowledge and understanding that each participant in the process has about what is of strategic importance to the community. City Council members are elected by the residents to govern and represent their needs and interests. They bring the perspective of the residents and business of the community. Professional City staff members are trained in local government management and services. They bring the perspective of how to address the complex issues that are of concern. Through the strategic planning work sessions, these two unique perspectives come together to identify the areas of focus for the next planning period.
T
HE STRATEGIC P LAN PROCESS
The
key steps to the process are listed below.
Cit
y Council Mini-Retreat. City Council, City Manager and City Attorney brainstorm the current community issues of strategic importance. This is a public meeting.
Cit
y Council and City Management Team Retreat. This is a facilitated, collaborative working session. The participants review accomplishments from last year; review the City’s mission, vision and values to ensure relevance; check the status of current strategic plan issues and progress; and identify new strategic issues to work on for the next year and possibly beyond. Council strategic goals and objectives are established at a high level through this process. The “handoff” is given to City staff to work through the details by refining the goals and objectives and developing work plans to achieve Council’s strategic goals. This is a public meeting.

anagement Team Retreat. This facilitated, collaborative working session with the City’s management team is designed to refine the strategic goals, develop objectives to achieve each goal and establish work plans that identify specific tasks, set timelines and assign responsibility for accomplishment. This is an internal staff meeting.
C
ouncil Adoption of Strategic Plan and Progress Updates. After all work sessions are complete, a final Strategic Plan is agendized for Council adoption at a regularly scheduled Council meeting.
City staff then periodically updates Council on the progress of strategic goals during future Council meetings. All of these Council meetings are public meetings.

REVENUE BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS
The Administrative Services Director and the Finance Division prepare the revenue projections and review these projections with the City Manager and Assistant City Manager. To make these projections as close as possible to actual, the following techniques are used depending on the revenue source’s unique characteristics. In practice, most revenue source projections combine several of the methodologies:
Informed Expert Judgment . The Administrative Services Director and Financial Services Manager meet with the department heads to discuss trends in revenues in their respective areas.
In addition, staff meets with an outside consultant who reviews the property tax, sales tax, business registration, and transient occupancy taxes (TOT) on a regular basis to discuss potential increases or decreases to those revenue streams.
Trending. The Finance Division estimates current year and projects future year revenues based on a combination of current trends and historical performance.
Economic Models. The Finance Division relies on anticipated changes to local, regional , and national economic conditions and their resulting effects on individual revenue sources.
Estimates from the State of California and San Mateo County. The Finance Division reviews the information regarding property tax assessed value, transfer payments , and refunds from the Education Relief Augmentation Fund (ERAF) that is provided by the State and County.
Non-recurring revenues are forecasted separately and scheduled only for the year or years in which they are anticipated. Certain revenue sources are limited in use by law or local policy, such as: gasoline taxes , development charges, Measure "A"/Measure “K” taxes, Measure “W taxes , assessment district charges, and grants. Forecasts of expenditures for public street construction and other capital improvements are identified separately for comparison with their restricted revenue sources.
Unlike appropriations that can be established at the direction of the City, many key revenues are controlled by external forces . For instance, p roperty tax revenues vary with real estate values, and development-related revenue is affected by the volume and type of building permits and plan check requests. Sales tax and TOT revenues are subject to local and national economic cycles, businesses’ decisions to locate in the community, and travel activity of businesses and tourists.

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL FUND REVENUE SOURCES
The majority of the City’s General Fund revenue is produced from a small number of sources, e.g.: sales tax, property tax, vehicle license fees, business registration, charges for services, and TOT. The table below outlines the General F und revenue estimates for the Biennial Budget for FY 2023-25. The sections following the table discuss the assumptions used in determining the revenue estimates.

Property Taxes
FY 2023-24. Property tax revenue is collected and distributed by the County of San Mateo based on applying the constitutionally limited tax rate of 1% to the assessed value of certain secured and unsecured properties as determined by the County Assessor.
The City’s share of this property tax revenue is approximately 13-14%, less the rebate back to the State for ERAF, which results in about 11 cents per dollar of tax collected in revenue for the City. The City of San Carlos and the County of San Mateo have entered into a Teeter agreement, whereby the City receives 100% of its share of the taxes assessed, with the County retaining all delinquent penalties and interest collected. Property tax is approximately 3 2% of General Fund revenues.
The City considers the historical rate of changes and economic conditions when forecasting future revenue and works with a third-party consultant to analyze the data. For FY 2023-24, property tax is projected to increase 5.5% over the FY 20 22-23 projections. The primary reason for the increase is due to increases in the property tax assessment rolls to account for changes in property ownership and tenant improvements. The assessment rolls increased $1.74 billion, or 13%, over the prior fiscal year.
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 173
FY 2024-25. For FY 2024-25, property tax is projected to increase by 7.0% over the FY 2023-24 budgeted property tax revenues. This continues to assume growth in the assessment rolls associated with the large-scale development projects on the east side of the City. Staff continues to work closely with the City’s consultants to project and monitor this revenue.
Sales Tax
FY 2023-24. Sales tax is collected by the State Board of Equalization against tangible items. The local portion is distributed to cities and counties based on the location of the sale. The City considers the historical rate of change and economic conditions and works with a third-party consultant to analyze the data when forecasting future revenue. For FY 202 3-24, sales tax is projected to grow 4 % over the FY 202 2-23 projections. Steady building materials, plumbing- electrical and contractor sales activity, purchases of non-auto equipment and continued patronage of restaurants is driving these increases. Sales tax is approximately 24 % of General Fund revenues.
FY 202 4-25. For FY 202 4-25, sales tax is projected to grow at 2.8% over the FY 202 3-24 budgeted sales tax revenues as a result of assumed inflationary increases . This revenue is reviewed quarterly with our third-party consultants and is adjusted based on current and projected activity.
Charges for Current Services
FY 2023-24. Cost of Services fees are revised on an annual basis by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and every three to five years based on a comprehensive review of actual costs . The last comprehensive study was performed in June 2022. This revenue source is approximately 9% of General Fund revenues. The decrease of 34.5% over the FY 2022-23 projections is primarily due to one-time plan check revenue that was received from large developments on the east side of the city. The timing of the receipt of these fees is difficult to predict and can vary from year to year.
Although the revenue is projected to decrease from FY 2022-23 projections, it is anticipated to increase 6.4% over the FY 2022-23 revised budget. The FY 2023-24 budget assumes some fees from development projects and multi -residential projects expected to be submitted for review.
These fees are typically pass through revenues and have a corresponding expense for professional consulting and technical experience necessary to facilitate these projects.
FY 2024-25. For FY 2024-25, revenues are projected to decrease by 2.5%, due to the timing of large development plan check activities. As noted above, the timing of large-scale development projects can cause this category to fluctuate from year to year. There may be more projects on the horizon that would increase this revenue stream which will be adjusted during the mid-cycle budget review.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
FY 2023-24. Effective January 1, 2019, in compliance with the November 2018 statewide election results for Measure QQ and subsequent adoption of City of San Carlos Ordinance 1532 on December 10, 2018, the Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax on hotel guests increased from 10% to 12%, with a 0.5% increase per year for subsequent years up to a maximum rate of 14%. As of January 1, 2023, the TOT rate is 14%. The tax is paid by the guests staying at these accommodations and remitted by the hotels to the City on a quarterly basis. After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, hotel occupancy dropped significantly following the State’s stay -at-home orders. Although the hotel industry began to rally in FY 2021-22 following the COVID -19
10.a
June 12, 2023
Packet Pg. 174
pandemic, the industry has not yet returned to historical occupancy as business travel has not yet fully returned to pre-pandemic rates. The proposed budget includes the addition of one hotel that has been going through renovations for several years. As such, the revenue for FY 2023-24 is budgeted at $4.2 million, or 23.5% higher than FY 2022-23 projections.
FY 2024-25. The revenue for FY 2023-24 is budgeted at $4.8 million, as a result of the anticipated rise in occupancy rates following the return and demand for business and residential travel.
Vehicle in-Lieu
FY 202 3-24. This revenue is generated by vehicle registration fees. Vehicle in-Lieu is approximately 7% of G eneral Fund revenues. As a result of the passage of the Budget Act of 2004, the majority of this revenue is now “backfilled” by the County, as a “property tax in-lieu” payment rather than paid directly by the State. The FY 2004-05 payments received by the City established the base year for this revenue stream . All future payments to cities are supposed to be based on the growth in assessed valuation s rather than actual vehicle license fee revenue received by the State. The County has informed the City that if the “backfilled” amount exceeds a certain limit, there will not be enough money to fully cover the amount owed. As a result, San Mateo County experienced countywide shortfalls in prior years. The FY 2022-23 projection includes a one-time repayment of this revenue in the amount of $2.2 million from FY 2020-21.
The FY 2023-24 Vehicle in-Lieu is projected to decrease 31.9% over the FY 2022-23 projections due to the reimbursement in FY 2022-23.
FY 2024-25. For FY 2024-25, revenue is budgeted at $4.2 million, with a 6.3% increase over the FY 2023-24 budgeted vehicle in-lieu revenue, which is based on the information provided by the City’s third-party consultants.
Use of Money and Property
FY 2023-24. This revenue is generated from property rentals and investment income. For FY 2023-24, this revenue category is estimated to be 14.6%, or $507,200 lower than the FY 2022- 23 projections. The decrease is due to the assumption of the timing of cash disbursements and the allocations of the total investment portfolio amongst all of the funds. At the end of each quarter, investment income is allocated based on the percentage of cash in each fund. The amount of allocation can change from year to year based on the total cash balance held in each fund.
FY 2024-25. The FY 2024-25 revenue estimates reflect an increase of 2% increase over the FY 2024-25 estimates.
Licenses & Permits
FY 2023-24. This revenue is generated by construction permits. For FY 202 3-24, this revenue category is expected to increase by 1.3%, from the FY 2022-23 projections. The timing of when developers pull their permits can vary, and as such, this category can fluctuate greatly from year to year.
FY 2024-25. The FY 2024-25 revenue estimates are 3% higher than the FY 2023-24 estimates.
Other Taxes
10.a
June 12, 2023

FY 2023-24. The revenue includes franchise taxes from utilities. It is budgeted to increase by
3.2% over the FY 2022-23 projections.
FY 2024-25. The FY 2024-25 revenue estimates are 1% higher than the FY 2023-24 estimates based on historical run rates.
Business Registration Fee
FY 2023-24. This revenue is generated by a registration fee paid by all businesses operating within the city. This revenue source is approximately 2% of General Fund revenues.
As written in the City’s Municipal Code, business registration will increase annually by 4%.
Revenues are estimated to increase by 4.0% over FY 2022-23 projections , which is in line with the increase specified in the City’s Municipal Code.
FY 2024-25. Business registration revenues for FY 2024-25 are budgeted to increase by 4% over the FY 202 3-24 estimates, which is in line with the annual increase specified by the Municipal Code.
DESCRIPTION OF WASTEWATER FUND REVENUE SOURCES
The majority of the City’s Wastewater Fund (Enterprise) revenue comes from wastewater rates and collection fees.

Wastewater Collection Fees
FY 2023 -24. The City owns and operates a wastewater collection system consisting of approximately 105 miles of sanitary sewer pipelines and six pump stations. The City’s sewer utility system is paid for by a self‐ supporting enterprise fund, with sewer service charges providing roughly 97% of total revenues. As such, the City’s sewer rates need to be set at levels adequate to fund the cost of providing wastewater service. These costs include both the City’s sewer collection system operating and capital improvement funding needs, and the Ci ty’s share of the cost for treatment plant operations and debt service.
The City also requires sewer connection fees on new or expanded connections to the sewer system. Connection fees are levied as a condition of development or change in use, and are designed to recover the cost of capacity in infrastructure and assets benefitting new development.
These capacity charges are one‐ time fees, paid up‐ front as a condition of new development or expansion.

FY 2023-24 revenue estimates are $27.87 million, which represents an increase of 30%, over the FY 2022-23 projections. The budgeted amount includes an assumption of $5 million in new development connection fees. Following a recent sewer rate study, staff proposed to forgo sewer rate increases in FY 2023-24.
FY 2024-25. The FY 2024-25 revenue estimates reflect a decrease of 0.4 %. Although it is estimated that there will be a 3% rate increase to the ratepayers, revenue estimates do not include large development connection fees.
Other Revenue Categories
FY 2023-24. This revenue is generated from investment income. For FY 2023-24, this revenue category is estimated to be 39% higher than the FY 2022-23 projections. The increase is due to the assumption of the timing of cash receipts from capacity fees noted above and the allocations of the total investment portfolio amongst all of the funds. At the end of each quarter, investment income is allocated based on the percentage of cash in each fund. The amount of allocation can change from year to year based on the total cash balance held in each fund.
FY 2024-25. The FY 2024-25 revenue estimates reflect an increase of 10% increase over the FY 2024-25 estimates.

Program Name Executive Management
Program Goals The first goal of the Executive Management program is to provide overall management of City operations, implement Council’s strategic and policy directions, and ensure effective, efficient, and responsive services to the community in a financially sustainable manner.
The second goal of the Executive Management program is related to community engagement. The goal is to reach out to the community on City-related matters that serve the community and to demonstrate transparency and inclusivity in the pursuit of civic governance. Includes managing media relations, the City’s website, e-notify, videos, social media, the City newsletters and postcards, the City cable channels, and billboards. Coordinate with community groups and volunteers so the community is well informed and engaged in events, services, proposed developments, projects, and local issues and can provide input to the City.
The third goal of the Executive Management program is related to climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resiliency. The goal is to develop and manage plans, projects, and programs that comply with State regulations, address climate change and adaptation, and attain the stated environmental goals of the City Council and community.
The fourth goal of the Executive Management program is related to emergency management services. The goal is based on the Council’s strategic goal to prepare for public safety emergencies, such as wildfire, earthquake, flood, and other emergencies by developing and implementing risk mitigation and reduction strategies. The Executive Management program oversees the planning of these strategies in partnership with other departments.

Community
Engagement
Objective 3
Community Engagement.
Per the 2023 Citizen Opinion Survey, “Whereas many cities have witnessed a significant decline in satisfaction with city-resident communications over the past decade, San Carlos has managed to keep the overall satisfaction level between 82% and 85% dating back to the first survey in 2014, with 2023’s 84% placing in the upper end of the range. The fact that San Carlos residents primarily rely on city-sponsored sources of information to find out about San Carlos news, events, and programming — including City newsletters, the City’s website, and email — is undoubtedly one of the reasons for this stability in satisfaction over the past nine years.”

Risk Management
Objective 2
Manage the City’s General Liability insurance, Workers’ Compensation claims and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) coordination.
The objective of the Risk Management program is to protect the City’s resources against risks or liability. This is achieved through ensuring adequate insurance coverage, providing safety and risk management training, managing safety inspections, and developing safety procedures. It is also important to monitor risk by analyzing safety incidents, injury claims, and third-party claims trends for the expansion of risk reduction programs. By doing so, Risk Management improves employee safety by creating a safer work environment and reduces liability, limiting losses for the City.

Financial Services
Objective 1
Financial planning/budgeting, accountability, and financial reporting and management of the audit, disbursements, payroll, cashiering, investments, and business registration.
Two of the key services of the Finance Division is financial planning and budgeting for the City through the production of a budget for the one-year or two-year cycles and the mid-cycle update. The budget provides the departments an opportunity to review their revenue and expenditure projections, capital projects, and performance measures.
Receiving the Government Finance Officers’ Association (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation award demonstrates that the City’s budget documents are of the highest quality, reflecting both the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GFOA's best practices on budgeting. The City has been awarded this prestigious award for a number of years and strives to continue receiving the award.
Accountability, financial reporting, and audit management are also of the utmost importance to the Financial Services division. It is essential to maintain the benchmarks below as they are part of the division’s on-going internal controls process and the division reviews the transactions before they go into the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Obtaining the GFOA Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting confirms that the City is able to go beyond the minimum requirements of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to prepare the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report with transparency and full disclosure. The benchmarks are also indications of the division’s ability to provide strong customer service to residents, other departments, divisions, businesses, customers, and vendors by meeting transactional demands while maintaining accuracy with general ledger entries.

Objective 2
Provide quality financial services to the City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) and Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Commute.org) FY 2023-24, and just C/CAG in FY 2024-25.
The Finance Division prides itself on providing excellent customer service to the agencies that we serve. The following benchmarks show that we provide timely and accurate transactional support to C/CAG and Commute.org. We also serve as custodians for their investments and strive to meet the primary objectives of safety of principal and liquidity for the agencies.
The City will perform billing and payment collections for Commute.org in FY 2023-24 in addition to the financial services, and has decided to discontinue providing all financial services to Commute.org starting in Fiscal Year 2024-25. The numbers below reflect the sudden ramp up in FY 2023-24 in the number of transactions and then the sharp decrease in FY 2024-25.

Human Resources
Objective
Labor relations, recruitment, training, benefit administration, and employee relations.
The effective planning of labor helps keep resources and overhead to a minimum while eliminating waste. Working with individual hiring managers, Human Resources tries to hire the right person for the job the first time to reduce cost and avoid new expenses incurred through the recruitment, rehiring, and retraining process. We measure the number of recruitments we process and the amount of applications we receive to confirm that our recruitments are targeting the right candidate pool.
Training and development are key components of hiring and retaining good employees. Human Resources offers a variety of different training opportunities for our employees. When employees are well equipped and continue learning, their levels of productivity and morale are increased.

Objective
Project planning, network infrastructure, end user and desktop support, application integration and support, server support, data management, security, TV channel, City Council and Planning Commission meeting broadcasts, mobile devices, telephony services, technology replacement, and website integration and support.
The Information Technology (IT) Division has identified uptime, response time, upgrades, and implementation as key measures because IT needs to maintain an infrastructure that is always available so staff can serve the public daily. We monitor supported devices so we can create accurate technology replacement plans to replace outdated equipment and implement new technologies.
Identifying intrusions is critical in protecting data and uptime of IT infrastructure. We monitor intrusions and uptime to ensure we have the proper tools in place to keep our servers secure.
