SUBJECT: 2023-25 FINANCIAL PLAN PROCESS, ECONOMIC OUTLOOK, BUDGET

POLICIES, AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN REVIEW

RECOMMENDATION

1. Review the 2023-25 Financial Plan Goal Setting Process; and

2. Provide staff with initial input relative to existing Major City Goals; and

3. Review and provide feedback on revised budget and fiscal policies; and

4. Review and discuss the general economic outlook for the 2023-25 Financial Plan development; and

5. Review the long-term capital outlook plan review.

POLICY CONTEXT
Development and ongoing administration of the City’s budget is heavily guided by State law, the City’s Municipal Code, City Charter, and budget and fiscal policies which are reaffirmed by the City Council every two years. Below is a summary of State law, local regulations and organizational policy that govern development and implementation of the City’s budget.

California State Law

1. A city may not spend public funds without the legal authorization to do so. Among other things, a budget appropriates public funds, thereby providing the legal authorization from the governing body to expend these funds.

2. Like other California public agencies, each city must annually establish its appropriation limit1 pertaining to the proceeds from taxes in compliance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and California Government Code Sec. 7910.

The City of San Luis Obispo uses the annual budget to establish its compliance with this law.

1 Proposition 4 (1979) added Article XIIIB to the California State Constitution, which established an appropriations limit on the state and most local governments. These limits are also referred to as “Gann Limits” in reference to one of the measure’s coauthors. The fundamental purpose of the Gann Limit is to keep real (inflation adjusted) per person government spending under 1978‑ 79 levels. The measure requires that a complex series of calculations be performed each year to compare appropriations to the limit.

City of San Luis Obispo, Council Memorandum

3. The California Constitution (Section 18 of Article XVI) states that no city or county may incur any debt or liability in any year that exceeds the income and revenue anticipated for that year without two-third voter approval. By determining the anticipated income and revenue, the budget process verifies compliance with these thresholds.

4. California Government Code Section 53901 requires each local agency to file its budget with the county auditor within 60 days after the beginning of its fiscal year.

5. In order to qualify to receive federal funds, a local agency must comply with the federal single audit act and must retain an independent certified public accountant to prepare an annual audit of its financial records. This compliance would not be possible without an adopted budget.

City Charter
Article VIII of the City's Charter contains the requirements for the fiscal administration of the City. The following sections provide guidance regarding the budget:

1. 801. Fiscal Year - determines the City's fiscal year from July through June.

2. 802. Annual Budget - determines the mandate of the City Manager to bring forth an annual estimate of income and expenditures.

3. 803. Public Hearing - sets forth the requirement for a public hearing to adopt the annual budget.

4. 804. Adoption of Budget - requires the Council to adopt the budget after necessary revisions after input from the public hearing.

City Budget and Fiscal Policies (See Attachment F)
The City's adopted budget policies set forth the purpose of the Financial Plan and cover the following topics:

A. The Financial Plan Objectives
B. The Two-Year Budget
C. Measurable Objectives
D. The Second-Year budget
E. Operating Carryover
F. Goal Status Reports
G. Mid-Year Budget Reviews
Additionally, under long-term financial planning, the policies stipulate the requirement for a balanced budget (funding sources equal funding uses) and the addressing of long-term liabilities and the maintenance of infrastructure. They also outline the requirements for annual and interim reporting and the City's budget administration in accordance with the City Charter.

Item 4a

REPORT-IN-BRIEF
Development of the next two-year financial plan officially kicked off on November 15th, when staff presented the “Setting the Stage” budget item to initiate development of the 2023-25 Financial Plan by providing: an update on progress toward addressing current Major City Goals, a review of core City services and a scan of strategic indicators which impact the City’s operations and funds.

The purpose of this item is to provide further foundation for development of the 2023-25 Financial Plan by:

1. Reviewing and seeking Council approval of the City’s goal setting process,

2. Reporting out on the results of the recent community survey,

3. Reviewing existing and recommended changes to the budget and fiscal policies that guide staff in developing budget recommendations and managing the budget throughout the year, and

4. Providing a high-level economic forecast to foreshadow the more local five-year forecast that will be presented to the City Council on February 7th.

The City of San Luis Obispo engages in a comprehensive financial planning process every two years and adjusts the budget as needed throughout the two-year financial plan period. This process includes extensive public outreach to assist the City Council in establishing Major City Goals, which guide the development of the recommended Financial Plan. The benefits of this process are two-fold: 1) it ensures that resources are allocated and focused in the budget to accomplish the community’s highest priority, most important objectives; and 2) it assesses the support and maintenance needs of the City’s current services, programs, and capital assets (i.e., core services). It therefore provides a process to help create a mutual understanding among community members, decision makers, and City staff through a platform of collaboration toward a common goal.

The outreach efforts include a wide-reaching community priorities survey, the Community Forum, engagement with advisory bodies to collect recommendations, and several other inputs to prepare the City Council for selecting community goals and priories for the next financial plan during its Goal-Setting Workshop. Subsequent Council meetings will provide direction to City staff for work program development in support of these goals.

To provide the appropriate framework, the Financial Plan process includes a review of the economic and other relevant trends (i.e., Strategic Scan) and their potential impact to the City’s forecasted financial position. City staff used multiple sources for the economic assessment including Beacon Economics, PFM’s Market Update, HdL’s sales tax forecast and the State’s Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) to name a few.

A major feature in the City’s Financial Plan process is reliance upon clear framework of fiscal and budget policies. The most well-managed cities across the nation have clearly articulated fiscal policies to aid financial decision-making and provide for controls and reporting to monitor performance and progress.

Item 4a
This report highlights one new policy, various edits to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Management policy, and an amendment to the City’s Fund Balance and Reserve Policy. If approved, the recommended changes will be adopted as part of the 2023-25 Financial Plan.

Lastly, the report includes an overview of the City’s long-range CIP needs. By considering the future CIP needs in the context of the Financial Plan process, these projects provide an important starting place in assessing which ones might be a high priority to consider in the next funding cycle.

DISCUSSION
Two-Year Financial Plan Process
For over thirty years, the City has used this financial planning process to create its budgets. The benefits of developing and adopting a two-year financial plan include:

1. Reinforcing the importance of long-range planning in managing the City's fiscal affairs.

2. Concentrating on developing and budgeting related work programs to accomplish significant objectives to bring resources to focus on those objectives.

3. Establishing realistic timeframes for achieving objectives.

4. Creating a pro-active budget that allows stable operations and service delivery.

5. Assuring the City' s long-term fiscal health.

6. Reducing the amount of time and resources allocated to preparing the annual budgets.

The fundamental purpose of the City's budget process is to link, through public engagement and strategic deliberation, the interest of the community to the available financial resources to achieve the desired outcome. The process allows the City Council to engage the community in identifying Major City Goals while also providing information regarding the City's core functions, including the day-to-day work programs and responsibilities carried out by City employees to support resident quality of life and community well-being.

Goal-Setting Process
A detailed Financial Plan Calendar was approved on October 4, 2022 and is posted on the City’s website. There are a variety of opportunities to provide input to the City Council as they work to establish Major City Goals with the community' s needs and interests in mind. These opportunities are highlighted in the following graphic:

Item 4a
Many of these efforts have been under way since early November 2022. City Advisory Bodies have developed recommended goals provided in Attachment A. The Community Priorities Survey (Attachment B) was mailed out with utility bills, continuously published on social media, and posted on-line at www.slocity.org/opencityhall. The survey was closed on December 15, 2022, and the results are included in Attachment C. The Council held the November 15
th "Setting the Stage" meeting with information on the status of the current Major City Goal, the City's core services, and the General Plan and Climate Action Plan update. Notice has also been sent to over 100 community groups and individuals inviting their input and participation (Attachment D).

The two principal elements of the City's goal setting process are the Community Forum, to be held at the Ludwick Center on Thursday, January 26, 2023, at 6:00 PM, and the Council Goal - Setting Workshop to be held at City Hall on Saturday, February 11, 2023.

In order to achieve a fully engaged process from all parties, the City typically contracts with a third-party consultant to facilitate and guide Council and the community through the forum and goal-setting workshops. The City has contracted with the Centre for Organization Effectiveness to assist in a three-phase approach:

Item 4a

1. Phase one – City Council Interviews: The Centre consultant will conduct virtual one-on-one interviews with each of the five City Council members to gain insights, input, and build connections with each member. The interviews will help the consultant in developing overarching themes to be utilized in the future group session (Phase three).

2. Phase two —Community Forum Support: The Centre will provide support for a Community Forum to be conducted on January 26, 2023 at the Ludwick Center.

3. Phase three — Goal Setting Workshop: The Centre consultant will conduct a halfday goal setting workshop with City Council Members on February 11, 2023. This session will be designed to create open dialogue, establish consensus, and identify objectives to support community needs for the Financial Plan.

Community Priorities Survey
Community feedback and input is a cornerstone of the City's budget process and an integral part of the decision making on Major City Goals. In addition to encouraging participation in the Financial Plan process, the community survey asks the City's residents to share their priorities for the City to accomplish over the next two years in addition to the core services already provided.

Survey Distribution
To reach as many residents as possible, the City utilizes several outreach methods including:

1. Utility invoice inserts

2. City website (Open City Hall)

3. City news & e-notification

4. Press releases

5. Social media

6. Outreach to over 100 community groups
Survey Participation
A total of 1,300 individual survey responses were received by December 15, 2022, representing 65 hours of public comment. This reflects a 1% increase in participation compared to the same survey conducted two years ago.

Survey Results
It is important to point out that this is not a "scientific survey" or “statistically representative" and as such the City Council should weigh the feedback accordingly when interpreting the results. Nonetheless, this has been the historic practice and the results are useful, especially when viewed in conjunction with the other forms of feedback the Council will receive in this process. The following charts summarize the top priorities from the questions asked. Together with an ‘Other' question that was open-ended, it provided participants up to five responses. The ‘Other’ responses were reviewed by staff and grouped into themes, where possible. These themes help to identify areas for further consideration and discussion. Additional analysis is available on Open City Hall (www.slocity.org/opencityhall) and all survey responses are included as Attachment C.

Item 4a
The Community Priorities Survey asked participants if they would like to maintain the current Major City Goals or identify different priorities. In total, 429 individuals chose to keep the current Major City Goals:
 Economic Recovery, Resiliency & Fiscal Sustainability  Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
 Housing & Homelessness
 Climate Action, Open Space & Sustainable Transportation The remaining 871 individuals indicated that they wanted to change priorities. If participants wished to change priorities, they were provided with previous priorities identified by the community as well as an the open-ended ’Other’ option. If participants wished to change priorities, they were provided with previous priorities identified by the community as well as an the open-ended ‘Other’ option. Most participants who completed the survey ultimately selected individual topics that are consistent with the current Major City Goals (Graph A).

Individuals completing the Community Priorities Survey were given the option to select ‘Other’ and share a priority not already listed. In total, 164 individuals chose this option.

Staff reviewed all responses, and the chart below captures the top ten themes of those responses (Graph B).

Item 4a
Community Forum
A cornerstone of the community engagement process is the Community Forum (Forum) where the community can engage in person and give voice to the desired programs and initiatives for the City Council to consider as part of the Major City Goal workplans. The forum is intended to solicit feedback from residents, community groups, stakeholders and interested individuals on tasks and projects to support the priorities identified through the Community Priorities Survey. Attendees can review planned 2023-25 projects and initiatives currently identified in existing plans and policies. The Forum is also intended to meet the requirements regarding the City's local sales tax, by providing an opportunity for the Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission (REOC) to review and discuss the use of the revenue generated by the Local Revenue Measure2.

The Forum will be facilitated by Sommer Kehrli from the Centre for Organization Effectiveness (Centre) and streamed online. Sommer facilitated the 2021 Community Forum and received very positive feedback from the community.

The agenda for the Forum is as follows:
a. Welcome/Opening by Mayor and City Manager and Facilitator b. 2023-25 Financial Plan Process and Themes from Pre-Survey Presentation by Finance Director
c. Instructions and Community Input led by Facilitator
d. Self-Selecting Breakout areas on Specific Topics based on the results of the Community Priorities Survey
e. Public Comment
f. Closing and Next Steps by Mayor and City Manager

2 Code 2.14.040(D), Annual Citizen Oversight Meeting: The REOC shall hold an annual community services and investment measure community forum for the purpose of taking input from residents and community members on preferences for the use of the revenues generated by the community services and investment tax.

Graph B: Top 10 Themes from Open Ended Other Question

Item 4a
Proposed Breakout Areas:

Based on the Community Priorities Survey results, staff identified eight topic areas to further explore and will create stations that will provide information and opportunities for feedback on the following topics:

1. Homelessness

2. Housing

3. Infrastructure/Multi Model Transportation

4. Open Space/Climate Action

5. Economic Development/Downtown Vitality

6. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

7. Local Revenue Measure

8. New Ideas
Staff with expertise in each of the selected topics will be on hand at each breakout area to answer questions, talk about work the City is currently doing, and solicit feedback about potential new items that could be added to the workplan. There will also be the opportunity for community members to provide feedback on other topics at the New Ideas station.

Information from the forum will be used by Council at the Council Goal-Setting Workshop to help set the City’s Major City Goals for the 2023-25 Financial plan.

The Community Forum is scheduled for January 26, 2023, from 6:00-9:00 pm at the Ludwick Community Center. Childcare will be provided for participants and the bike valet will be on site for those who choose to bike to the Forum. Please note that parking is limited in the area around the Ludwick Community Center. For those not able to attend in person, feedback may also be sent to [email protected].

Council Pre-Work
Based on all the feedback and input received, Council Members will be asked to prepare and submit up to seven3 candidate goals by 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 7, 2023 for consideration during the February 11, 2023, Goal Setting Workshop.

Council Members are also asked to prepare and submit suggestions for changes to current programs and services that might help fund their desired goals. Templates and specific instructions for Council member input will be distributed via Council correspondence in early January. Without identifying who submitted the statements, staff will compile the feedback verbatim, compose lists and organize feedback by common topics for review and consideration before the workshop. The lists will be distributed to all Council Members and made available to the community by the close of business on Wednesday, February 8, 2023. While staff will retain individual submissions in the working files, it is recommended that Council members refrain from releasing their personal lists so that each Council member can review all submissions and discuss them at the GoalSetting Workshop before taking a position.

3 This is the maximum number of candidate goals suggested for submittal and five (5) is recommended as a manageable number of goals given the dynamic, competing and complex challenges to achieve outcomes related to the previous Major City Goals.

Item 4a
Council Goal-Setting Workshop
At the February 11, 2023, workshop, the Council will review the consolidated goals presented by Council Members to ensure clarity, completeness and understanding; and then narrow the list to finalist goals that are supported by a majority of Council Members.

While the Council proceeds with the discussion outlined above, staff will prepare a final listing that the Council can use in prioritizing goals. In years past, the Council has used a ranking system of 0 through 5 for each candidate goal and staff recommends continuing its use for 2023-25, summarized as follows:
5 - most important, highest priorities for City to achieve over the next two years. 4 - very important goal to achieve.
3 - important goal to achieve.
2 - address if resources are available.
1 - defer to 2025-27 for consideration.
0 - not a priority goal.

The number of points used for ranking is typically determined through discussion on the day of the workshop. Major City Goals will emerge from this process and represent the most important, highest priority goals for the City to accomplish over the next two years.

Resources to accomplish them should be included in the 2023-25 Financial Plan. The initial list of Major City Goals following the ranking will include only those goals where a majority of Council Members rank the goal as a 4 or 5. Subsequent discussion will allow the Council to refine the goal list, however, the list should remain consistent with the "Criteria for Major City Goals" (Attachment D).

Local Revenue Measure
The Community Forum will also serve as the City's Annual Citizens' Oversight Meeting4 for the Local Revenue Measure (LRM). The estimated revenue and proposed use of the funds generated by LRM shall be an integral part of the City's budget and goal-setting process. It is an opportunity for citizens and the Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission (REOC) to participate in determining priority uses of these funds.

While the ballot language provided examples of the types of uses that could be funded, the Local Revenue Measure is a general-purpose tax that provides Council with flexibility to respond to new circumstances and challenges. The unaudited FY 2021-22 total expenditures (operating and capital projects) were approximately $18 million and an additional $14.4 million was carried over to FY 2022-23 for use towards existing capital projects. The REOC held a meeting on September 22, 2022 to review the unaudited FY 2021-22 year-end financials. The audited information will be included in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which is scheduled to be presented to the City Council on January 17, 2023 and will be formally reviewed by the REOC in March 2023.

4 Code 2.14.040(D), Annual Citizen Oversight Meeting

Item 4a
The Local Revenue Measure has been used to support operating and capital projects, based upon the language in the 2020 ballot measure. Below are the unaudited FY 2021- 22 Local Revenue Measure uses by ballot-language priority.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Two years ago, this section of the report was focused on the Covid-19 pandemic which had sweeping implications for both public health and the economy. While the impacts of the pandemic are perhaps clearer than they were two years ago, there are still many unknowns and new potential economic challenges.

On November 4, 2022, the annual Central Coast Economic Forecast presented national, state, and countywide economic data and trends. This information, together with PFM’s Market Outlook, HdL’s sales tax analysis, the City’s unaudited financials and internal analysis will provide the basis for the City’s own five-year fiscal forecast which will be presented to Council with the mid-year report on February 7, 2023. The material provided by the various economic forecast presenters as well as links to other economic data are provided in Attachment E.

Overview
The economic outlook is uncertain. The best-case scenario is that the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) can accomplish a “soft landing” followed by more normal growth rates and lower inflation. The worst-case scenario is that the economy is headed towards recessionary times. Given this uncertainty, the City will take a conservative yet realistic approach to the forecast that considers various scenarios and adjusts these economic factors with how they might impact the Central Coast and more specifically, City revenues.

Item 4a
Economists across the state agree that the growth seen in FY 2021-22 was an anomaly and some degree of cooling is expected beginning in FY 2022-23. The State’s Legislative Analyst’s Office significantly lowered its revenue projections for the next five years.

However, this is mainly due to reduced income tax (a major revenue source for the State, but not for local governments) that is much more sensitive to economic swings, due to high wage earners making less through stock market investments. While the City’s revenues don’t swing as drastically from these economic dynamics, two of our major revenue sources, Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)5 and Sales Tax6, are highly vulnerable to recessionary impacts.

However, the City’s fiscal health is not just a story about revenue. Even if the Fed can engineer a “soft landing”, the City’s expenditure budget will need to increase to reflect multiple years of record high inflation and wage growth. Staff will include an estimate to account for increased costs in the mid-year forecast, however base operating budgets (the cost to deliver existing ongoing services) will not be finalized until the end of February.

On the capital side (Capital Improvement Program), initial updated project estimates show that the forecasted budget for FY 2023-24 is short by about $8-$12 million, assuming that projects in the 3rd year of the current five-year CIP advance to the 1st year of the 2023-25 Financial Plan. This budget deficit does not include the cost of any new projects. This is primarily due to an over 20% increase in the California Construction Cost Index.

Needleless to say, some adjustments will need to be made in light of these factors and grant funded projects that were further out in the CIP schedule may need to advance in order to meet funding agreements.

As we move toward financial planning, it will be important to remember that new initiatives will require trade-offs to fund both current service levels as well as any new work programs identified through the forthcoming goal setting processes.

Employment: Employment rate is generally considered a lagging indicator of the economy. The county has seen full recovery since the pandemic and the unemployment rate has hovered around a low 2.5% for the last six months. Nationally, the unemployment rate stood at 3.7% in November 2022. While low unemployment is good, it could also indicate that the economy is not cooling off as quickly as the Fed had hoped. Another interest rate hike is expected in December and the Fed has signaled that it will continue to raise rates even at the expense of some employment loss.

5 Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is the City’s third largest source of General Fund revenue behind Sales and Property Tax. Lodging guests must pay the tax to the operator of the lodging facility at the time the rent is paid. The operator must remit the 10% tax to the City. TOT applies to all lodging businesses, including hotels, motels, and homestays.
6 The City has two major sources of Sales Tax: (1) The 1% Local General Fund Bradley Burns is a portion of the state sales tax that is allocated back to the jurisdiction where the sale was negotiated, or the order was taken (2) The Local Revenue Measure G-20 is an additional 1.5% local transaction and use tax that is applied to goods that were delivered or placed into use within the City.

Item 4a
Sales Tax: Sales and use tax revenue far exceeded the City and HdL (the City’s Sales Tax consultant) projections for FY 2021-22. This is consistent with trends across the state.

High consumer spending accelerated by savings accumulation and pent‐up demand continued with the gradual opening of the economy, the return of students to in‐class sessions, and renewed travel activity. High inflation through labor and supply chain issues intertwined with Fed monetary policy to counteract inflation and a war driving gas prices to all‐time highs, all greatly impacted sales tax.

Looking towards the future, stock market woes and rising consumer prices (as raw materials and components are more expensive) could further weaken consumer confidence and households may pull back on discretionary purchases over the first half of calendar year 2023. The City expects to see a cooldown or flattening in its sales tax revenue over the next several years.

Tourism: Tourism and hospitality are an important part of the San Luis Obispo economy and about 70% of the local sales tax generated is from visitors and day-time commuters.

Tourism along the central coast made a strong comeback in FY 2021-22 as the region benefited from being a drive-to destination and visitors enjoyed the new boutique hotels within the City limits. Despite inflation and increased gas prices, the tourism program continued to see record high monthly TOT remittals through November 2022. It’s unknown how long this will continue but City’s tourism program together with the countywide tourism office expect to see a growth plateau and a possible decline as we move into calendar year 2023.

Real Estate: As mortgage rates increased over the last year, listing prices came down from a record hot market. According to Redfin, the average sale price of a home in San Luis Obispo in October 2022 was down 12% from the prior year. The number of days homes stay on the market has increased and the number of homes sold has also decreased. Despite the market cooling, we do not expect to see a housing crash like the Country and Region experienced during the Great Recession. The biggest challenge in the forecast will be incentivizing the development of new housing units, specifically affordable housing, to attract buyers in a tighter lending market with a contracting economy.

Overall, property tax revenue is one of the less volatile revenue streams and is generally expected to continue growing at a modest rate. Annual property tax assumptions are periodically provided by the County Assessor’ s office and the latest assumptions for the City will be included in the long-term forecast provided at mid-year.

Construction Activity: While construction activity peaked during FY 2019-20, the City of San Luis Obispo is still experiencing elevated levels of construction and permit activity.

Housing construction remains steady for new home construction and Accessory Dwelling Unit construction. New construction of commercial buildings is almost entirely focused on mixed-use development projects. Notable projects that continue to move forward this fiscal year include the Anderson Hotel rehabilitation, 650 Tank Farm mixed-use project, Broad Street Corridor development along Victoria Avenue, and ongoing home

Item 4a
construction in Avila Ranch, San Luis Ranch, and in the Orcutt Area (e.g., Bullock Ranch, Righetti Ranch and South Morros subdivisions). Finally, the city is expecting to receive applications for on-site and off-site improvements for development of the Froom Ranch Specific Plan area before the end of this fiscal year. Overall, development services revenues are on track to meet projections, which were adjusted downward at the beginning of this fiscal year due to higher interest rates leading to a slow-down in construction lending and new home purchases.

Long Term Fiscal Health
The City enters the 2023-25 Financial Planning period with a solid financial foundation despite facing challenges and economic uncertainty. The City continues to have substantial advantages compared with many communities in California due to:

1. A balanced budget and reserves above minimum policy levels.

2. Dedication to fiscal responsibility and long-term sustainability.

3. Strong financial systems, policies, and procedures.

4. Strong Council Leadership.

5. Citizens who care deeply about the City’s quality of life and services.

6. Staff who are committed, dedicated, and passionate about achieving the City’s mission and serving the community.

7. A great tradition of responsible stewardship and governance; and

8. A successful local transaction and use tax initiative that will bring additional revenue to the General Fund.

The civic infrastructure will serve San Luis Obispo well in successfully meeting challenges ahead while addressing the needs of the community.

Consideration of “one-time” funding for new initiatives that began in 2021-23 Between the 2021-23 Financial Plan budget appropriations and the 2021-22 Mid-Year budget adjustments, there was approximately $3 million of one-time funding allocated in FY 2022-23 for pilot programs or new initiatives. Staff recommend that some of these allocations should be incorporated into ongoing operations before consideration of new initiatives. The reason that some of these initiatives were budgeted as one time was because the economic outlook was unclear at the time. Many were truly one-time expenses for urgent operating or capital needs; however, some were funded as a strategy to bridge to a time when the economic forecast was clearer. Starting new programs as one-time “pilots” also gives staff more clarity on what can realistically be achieved. Some of these one-time funded items include the annual DEI Grants, business retention programs, homeless program funding, increased bed capacity at the Homeless Services Center, and various pilot programs.

Item 4a
CalPERS and the City’s Unfunded Liability
With the $12.4 million catch-up payment to CalPERS made in March 2022, the forecast maintains its pre-pandemic commitment to address the City’s long-term pension liability by making additional investments each year. However, in July 2022, CalPERS reported a 6.1% net loss on investments for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2022. Staff will likely recommend at the 2022-23 Mid-Year Review that any FY 2021-22 one-time General Fund Balance above the forecasted amount be used to make an additional one-time payment towards CalPERS. This will help offset the losses announced in July. The City’s commitment to annually pay additional contributions will serve the organization in the long run. 2023-25 Financial Plan Policies
A major feature of the City's Financial Plan development process is reliance upon clear fiscal and budgetary policies following industry best practices. In looking at cities across the nation that have reputations for being financially well-managed, they all have clearly articulated fiscal policies for financial decision making. The City of San Luis Obispo's policy framework has been repeatedly acknowledged by the bond rating agencies as an important factor in sustaining the City's excellent credit rating.

The City's Budget and Fiscal Policies (Attachment F) are traditionally set forth in the reference section of the Financial Plan. The policies cover a broad range of fiscal topics, including:

A. Budget Policies
B. Fiscal Policies:

1. General Revenue Management

2. User Fee Cost Recovery Goals

3. Enterprise Fund Fees and Rates

4. Revenue Distribution

5. Investments*

6. Appropriation Limitations

7. Fund Balances and Reserves*

8. Unfunded Liability and CalPERs (NEW POLICY RECOMMENDATION)

9. Capital Improvement Management

10.Capital Financing & Debt Management*

11.Human Resources Management

12.Contracting for Services

13.Productivity
*These sections have been updated and adopted as comprehensive stand-alone policy documents. They are posted on the City’s website and linked within Attachment F.

At the onset of each financial planning cycle, the City reviews the adopted policies to determine if any updates are necessary. Changes are generally intended to create consistency amongst City fiscal policies, reflect current practices and create a system that is efficient and effective to administer. All the proposed edits are included in Attachment F.

Additions are underlined throughout the document and anything removed has been indicated with a strike through. Because of the recommended policy changes, the policy sections have been re-numbered.

Item 4a
There are three policy changes or additions recommended:

Revenue Stabilization Reserve (Attachment F – pg.2): The first policy recommendation is to re-establish a policy for the General Fund Revenue Stabilization Reserve. The City maintained a Revenue Stabilization Reserve through the Fiscal Health Response Plan (FHRP) but eliminated it with the 2021-23 Financial Plan. A stabilization reserve is a mechanism to insulate the City from large fluctuations in tax revenue. It will allow the City to manage a potential economic downturn without immediately utilizing the operating reserve. Given the economic unknowns, staff recommend re-establishing the reserve, especially as the City grows more reliant on taxes that are the most heavily impacted by economic downturns. Given that the one-time over-realization of FY 2021-22 revenue was from taxes, Council took action on October 4, 2022, to allocate $2 million of General Fund balance to the reserve (R-22367).

Unfunded Liability and CalPERs (Attachment F – pg.13): With the 2018-19 Financial Plan Supplement, the City adopted its FHRP; a three-year plan to address the City’s escalating unfunded pension liability stemming from the CalPERS’ changes under the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEBRA). PEBRA prescribe that a member agency’s pension liability had to be paid down over a 30-year period which triggered annually escalating contributions through 2045.

The FHRP therefore targeted a realignment of revenues and expenditures to allow for additional payments to CalPERS, negotiated additional contributions toward pension payments for employee groups, and prioritized the use of unassigned fund balance once the City’s Financial Statements had been audited and accepted by the City Council. The goal of this realignment was the payment of the UFL over a reduced timeline therefore securing pensions for City employees and saving the City considerable interest payments.

Given the long-term ramifications of the deliverables put in motion through the FHRP, the new policy addresses the City’s long-term commitment to payment of the UFL, annual additional discretionary payments (ADPs), and the needed prioritization to hold the shortened timeline.

Capital Improvement Program Management (Attachment F – pg.16): At the November 15, 2022 Council Meeting, staff presented a recommendation to restructure the CIP budget, using ‘funding buckets’ to provide budget appropriation for Asset Maintenance and Asset Replacement projects. While some Councilmembers were supportive of the bucket concept, others had transparency concerns and wanted to make sure that the City Council would have the opportunity to evaluate and approve significant project budget adjustments that might impact the ability to deliver other projects. Due to concerns expressed by both the REOC and City Council, staff has decided to defer further discussion about the funding bucket approach to a future Financial Plan (beyond 2023- 25). This deferral will provide staff with additional time to refine the approach and have targeted meetings both REOC and the City Council to gather additional input and address current concerns. The deferral will also provide the opportunity to discuss a restructuring of the CIP budget when the City isn’t amid developing its next Financial Plan. This will enable a more engaged process to ask questions and address issues.

Item 4a
Despite deferral of changes to the CIP budget structure, other efforts to improve the City’s ability to deliver the CIP are still underway. Staff has worked to amend existing policies and add new language to provide for more holistic governance of the CIP. Many of the recommended changes clarify existing processes, roles and responsibilities, or document new administrative processes that have or will be implemented as a part of broader process improvement efforts. Staff reviewed the recommended changes to CIP policies with the REOC on December 8, 2022 and REOC members voted to endorse staff’s recommendations. A summary of the recommended policy changes is included in Attachment F (includes a redline version of the changes).

Long-Range CIP
The Long-Range CIP provides a glimpse into the future improvement needs of the City as envisioned by the General Plan and other Council adopted plans. Many of the City's current infrastructure assets are not adequate to handle the needs of the future San Luis Obispo. Many streets must be built or widened, intersections improved, bicycle facilities added, water lines and sewer lines extended into new areas, and new parks must be built.

Updated project costs in Attachment G represent a 23% construction cost escalation from prior projections generated for the 2021-23 Financial Plan Budget Foundation in December 2020.

The Long-Range CIP can serve as a guide for required future investments to support the General Plan as well as other Council approved policies, plans, and goals in place today.

By considering the Long-Range CIP needs in the context of the Financial Plan process, these projects provide an important starting place in assessing which ones might be a high priority to consider in the next funding cycle.

Below is a summary of the methodology behind the data in the Long-Range CIP:

1. The City's Capital needs are categorized into
a. Maintenance of Existing Assets
b. Replacement of Existing Assets
c. New Assets

2. The Replacement of Existing Assets and New Assets categories of capital needs are primarily unfunded to the extent that funding for Maintenance of Existing Assets is prioritized.

3. The Long-Range CIP includes projects that are funded from all City funding sources including General and Enterprise Funds.

4. As a result of extensive review of approved City planning documents, the General Plan, and Area Specific Plans, the total allocation for Replacement of Existing Assets and New Assets is approximately $1.27 billion.

5. The Long-Range CIP includes idealized funding levels of Annual Asset Maintenance. The City has historically funded asset maintenance at a lower level than what is included in the Long-Range CIP.

6. The Long-Range CIP delivery timeframe extends beyond 2040 with maintenance costs assumed to last in perpetuity.

Item 4a
The Long-Range CIP is an important high-level planning tool, but it is important to remember that project costs will change. Project cost estimates are developed from highlevel project descriptions. During the scoping, budgeting and implementation of all projects, costs will change based upon increased and refined project data.

The Long-Range CIP is presented to Council as part of the Budget Foundation discussion and Goal Setting Process to provide context for future capital needs. Historically, the Long-Range CIP is presented without a proposed strategy to address those needs.

Staff has tasked a consultant, PFM, to analyze the City’s funding strategy for long term CIP investments to balance out pay as you go, debt financing, and projected revenues.

There are also several anticipated infrastructure funding sources from marquee Federal Bills - the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Both offer unprecedented levels of potential funding and should be considered when evaluating funding strategies moving forward.

Public Engagement
Public engagement on this item can be provided to the City Council through written correspondence prior to the meeting and through public testimony at the meeting. This item continues the extensive public engagement processes to support development of the 2023-25 Financial Plan, as discussed above.

CONCURRENCE
The City’s internal Financial Plan Steering Committee concurs with the recommendations included in this report. The REOC met on December 8th and concurs with the recommended CIP policy changes.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the recommended action in this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.

Item 4a
There is no fiscal impact associated with the conduct of the City’s two-year financial planning process. The current budget includes funding for all the planned activities that are part of this process.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Modify the proposed Goal Setting activities. The Council could direct staff to pursue a different process for goal-setting this year. Staff does not recommend this alternative because there is value in conducting a similar process year to year to ensure maximum resident engagement. If the Council is interested in making changes, staff recommends that they be incremental adjustments to the activities planned. If major changes are desired, those should be discussed and planned during the first year of the upcoming financial plan to ensure that staff has the necessary time to develop a new process.

2. Do not approve the recommended budget and fiscal policy changes. The Council could direct staff to leave the current budget and fiscal policies unchanged or make modifications to proposed changes. Staff does not recommend this alternative as the recommended policy changes are intended to provide more holistic governance of the City’s expanded Capital Improvement Program, and further ensure the long-term fiscal health of the City organization.

2023-25 Financial Plan Proposed Goals & Objectives
Architectural Review Commission
Background
State Housing Laws are making it challenging to utilize subjective design guidelines(i.e. Community Design Guidelines) for new residential developments. In response, the ARC, in 2021, helped draft the City’s current Objective Design Standards (ODS) (Municipal Code Chapter 17.69). However new housing laws have expanded the need for more objective design standards for more types of residential developments (i.e. single family, duplexes, triplexes, multifamily, mixed-use, etc.). To continue to support the need for more housing and projects that are compatible with the City’s unique character, the ARC is focused on the expansion of the City’s ODS to provide additional design requirements for all types of residential development. The ODS will regulate residential development, however there is also a need to provide a comprehensive update of the Community Design Guidelines (CDG) to focus the Guidelines specifically on commercial development and other design guidelines and remove subjective residential design guidelines.

Goals

1. Expand the Objective Design Standards to provide additional design requirements for more types of residential developments to include standards and definitions for:
• Specific types of residential developments (single family, duplexes, triplexes, multifamily, mixed-use, etc.).
• Overall site design (parking areas, outdoor spaces, landscaping, pedestrian access, lighting, privacy, etc.).
• Transitions between residential and commercial zones and high-density residential and lowdensity residential zones. • Conversion of commercial buildings into residential development. • And include images and reference photos.

2. Complete a comprehensive update of the Community Design Guidelines for Commercial developments and other design guidelines including:
• Strengthen and more clearly define guidelines for storefronts and windows in commercial areas to maintain transparency and prevent the installation of opaque film and interior signs and displays that obstruct views into stores.
• Update CDG for neighborhood compatibility to address transitions between neighborhood commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods (LUCE §3.5.7.9). • Overall site design (pedestrian scale, walkability, bicycle infrastructure, outdoor spaces, landscaping, etc.)
• Include more images and reference photos to highlight guideline language.

2023-25 Community Priorities Survey
What should the City Council
consider as top priorities during
the 2023-25 fiscal years?
9 days left before deadline
The City Council is seeking your input on what the City should prioritize for the 2023-25 Financial Plan (scroll down for the link to the survey). Every two years the City begins a community-based goal-setting process to establish Major City Goals that will help make San Luis Obispo an even better place to live, work, and play.

Your input is the first step and will help the City Council understand the community's priorities. Through the City's budget process, City Council will then match these priorities with the City's resources and integrate those priorities into its next two-year financial plan, which includes the City's core services. The adopted budget then enables the City to provide high-quality services, programs, and projects with the community’s priorities in mind (see the process infographic below).

Current Major City Goals
The City Council adopted the following Major City Goals for the 2021-23 Financial Plan (https://www.slocity.org/government/mayor-and-city-council/city-goals), in part based on feedback we heard from the community:

Economic recovery, resiliency, and fiscal sustainability Diversity, equity, and inclusion
Housing and homelessness
Climate action, open space, and sustainable transportation For more details, review the agenda packet for the November 15 City Council Meeting item 6.a Setting the Stage for the 2023-25 Financial Plan and the Strategic Scan (https://pubslocity.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=a43fc59b-f796-405f-a51c4b35afdc4aa9&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English&Item=32&Tab=attachments) or click the image below for the 2023-25 Financial Plan schedule and process.

Dear Valued Community Member,
The City of San Luis Obispo is seeking community feedback to help establish community-based goals that will be incorporated into the City's 2023-25 Financial Plan. This input will enable the City Council to better prioritize City projects, programs, services and initiatives so that resources and budget can be assigned to those items that are most important to the community. “Civic participation is the cornerstone to any good democracy and local government. We encourage anyone who lives in, works in, or goes to school in SLO to voice your thoughts today about your priorities” said City Manager Derek Johnson. “The feedback we receive from community members will directly influence what the City’s budget and work program priorities over the next couple of years.” Community members can weigh in by completing the online 2023-25 Community Priorities Survey at slocity.org/opencityhall. The deadline to submit feedback is December 15, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. In addition to reviewing their own responses on the survey, participants will also be able to review the feedback that the City is receiving in real time. This goal-setting stage in the budgeting process is a critical step to ensuring the City can make San Luis Obispo an even better place to live, work and play.

City staff will compile community feedback for the City Council to review in advance of the Community Forum in January and the Council goal-setting workshop in February. During the workshop, council will officially set the goals for the next two years. A preliminary budget will then be presented to the City Council in April and the final 2023-25 Financial Plan adoption in June.

To receive updates from the City, please register for City News e-notifications on the City’s website at www.slocity.org or follow the City of San Luis Obispo on social media.

What should the City Council consider as top priorities during the 2023-25 fiscal years?

• Water security - if we are in a drought with less water available for our foreseeable future, we need to stop building houses and halt population growth
• Infrastructure - the city infrastructure including roads, street parking, water, sewer is not keeping up with the growth of the city. Stop the growth if the city can't afford to improve infrastructure accordingly.

What should the City Council consider as top priorities during the 2023-25 fiscal years?

• Cal Poly students and their parents are only here for a few years; they and their money no matter how great can no longer be allowed to dictate and rule our city
• Look at other cities in our area that are growing and thriving (ie Paso).. there are GLARING differences in what their downtown is doing compared to ours. Our city council, DT association and mayor are in denial about it.
• What has been done to Marsh and Higuera is a full on traffic hazard and a waste of money and resources. Every day the busiest streets downtown are reduced to 1 lane with delivery drivers having to dart across traffic and vehicles backed up for blacks because of this nonsense.
• There needs to be harsher consequences for Cal Poly students who keep getting noise citations. In the real their are consequences for your actions. They are supposed to be learning to be adults and since their parents have swooped in and buy a home for them and their friends and pay their fines every weekend they are not learning the lessons while their neighbors who have worked their butts off to buy their homes and still have to go to work the next day because Cinco de Mayo fell on a Tuesday and oddly enough Wednesday is a normal workday.

Question 4
• Crack down on dangerous unhoused people. Compassion is not letting people abuse other people and brush it off as mental illness. • Clean up medians/plant natives. The city looks messy. I think this could be partly accomplished with volunteers, I would certainly volunteer (and I do this in my own neighborhood already)
• More community outreach and involvement. Ask the children of SLO what they want to inherit so they want to come back.
• Already stated above, but I want to clarify. I no longer want to utilize downtown SLO because of too many terrifying incidents with homeless men. I specify men because it is never the women. They have screamed at me and my young daughters, two days ago there was a man yelling at people and carrying a machete. I called 911 and was asked, “Well is he swinging it at anyone?” We deserve to feel safe and allowing men, mentally ill or not, to repeatedly terrorize people is actually abuse. It isn’t compassionate to allow them to live on the streets with untreated mental illness. I would like the city to take a much more firm stance on protecting our parks and community areas. If I were to suddenly act the way they do I’d be arrested in five minutes. Help should not be a choice. If these men will not accept treatment they are not allowed to loiter downtown and in parks. Period.

I am concerned that trees are not seen as the longterm investment of urban cooling and property value (including making downtown much cooler and more attractive to residents and visitors. Trees take regular care and can be troublesome but they are vital.

Question 4
• Keep new buildings in town 3 stories. Don't keep taking away view of the peaks from everywhere. It is part of the charm and brings in tourists. • Keep consistency in road design and planning. there are so many inconsistent changes with bike lanes and round abouts that driving in town is confusing and dangerous. The new segregated bike paths downtown are a perfect example. It actually, imo, increases my risk as a bike rider, as cars turning right into driveways cannot see bikes in the lane due to parked cars.
• Keep more of a consistent theme in architecture in downtown. It used to look like a quaint coastal town with old commercial buildings and victorians. Now it is a hodgepodge of architectual styles that do not really provide any cohesion.

Question 4
• The homeless suffer from a high % of mental and physical health issues including drug addiction. There is a smaller % that are just down on their luck. We need to help the people who are down on their luck with apartments (not shelters) and the rest with enforced medical care. • It is ridiculous how much real estate costs in this city. The rules regarding low income housing for developers is not effective. Housing for students should be looked into, I don't know the answer but student housing is one of the main reasons rental costs are so high in this city, this should be a priority.
• Downtown vitality starts with having businesses that serve the community. Having more bars or tourist business encourage turnover.

Property owners would rather have their storefronts sit empty than lower the rates, how to deal with that?
• Downtown parking and traffic is an issue for downtown vitality. Bike lanes are nice but only a small % of residents will ride bikes. For those that do, bike theft is an issue. Some suggestions: Free park and ride for downtown, Safe bike parking, More free motorcycle and scooter parking. • Lots of homeless downtown and many suffer from mental illness, some may be dangerous. Many residents feel threatened by these people, we need to get them off the streets and into a mental care program.

• Monitor usage of bike lanes DECREASE or STALL further development of more lanes if bike traffic doesn't warrant them.
• SLOW further development of housing if WATER resources are dwindling and street traffic cannot bear further burden • Plan on more electric car usage rather than more bicycle usage. Free up the street to allow more future motorized vehicles rather than bikes.

Fund rainwater recovery efforts, providing residences with free or low-cost rain barrels. • Become a sanctuary city for climate and political refugees, with a funded, sanctioned community network of housing, job placement and child care.
