FROM: Administration Division, Finance Department
SUBJECT: The American Rescue Plan Act Update And Appropriation Request RECOMMENDATION: That Finance Committee recommend that Council:

A. Accept the second American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) economic recovery payment, estimated at $10,918,762 scheduled to be remitted in May 2022; B.

DISCUSSION:

Executive Summary
Early in 2021, the federal government enacted the Amercian Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) which stimulated the national economy and offered direct recovery packages to individuals and governments of all levels. The City was allocated $21.8 Million over 2 years of direct rescue funds to continue to provide services to the public and address additional costs directly related to COVID-19. In May 2021, the City Council approved of the first tranche of $10.9 Million of funds to be allocated to the General Fund to partially offset lost tax and departmental revenues in order to continue to provide essential services to the public. The second $10.9 Million tranche is scheduled to be received in May 2022. Staff has analyzed continued revenue loss due to COVID-19, most significantly in the General Fund and the Downtown Parking Fund, as well as analyze additional operational and financial impacts to the City. This report summarizes staff’s recommendation as to the uses of the second tranche of ARPA funds, which includes addressing additional revenue loss, as well as specific uses to offset additional operational impacts and financial costs directly related to COVID-19.

Agenda Item No. 1
File Code No. 120.03
Finance Committee Agenda Report
The American Rescue Plan Act Update And Appropriation Request March 1, 2022

Background
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed ARPA, H.R. 1617, into law creating one of the largest economic stimulus and recovery packages in the United States’ history. The $1.9 Trillion bill includes funding for numerous sectors of the economy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some highlights of ARPA include direct payments to individuals, funding for vaccine distribution, new funding for homeowners, renters, homeless and those at risk of homelessness, financial assistance to businesses through an expanded Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), and sick leave, among many other programs. Also, and of most immediate relief to many State and Local governments, the act includes an allocation of funds to compensate for lost revenues and other impacts felt by local governments.

Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) The City has been allocated $21.8 Million of funding through the SLFRF as part of the overall ARPA package, with the first tranche of $10.9 Million received in May 2021, and the second tranche anticipated to be received in May 2022. On June 9, 2021, the City Council unanimously approved that the first tranche of $10.9 Million be appropriated into the General Fund to partially offset the sales tax, transient occupancy tax (TOT), and departmental revenues that have been lost since COVID-19 began. This action allowed the City to continue to provide police, fire, recreation, library, and other services to the community and not reduce services over the past year any further.

Staff Recommended Uses of ARPA Funds
Staff developed recommendations for the uses of the second tranche of $10.9 Million, based on ARPA categorization, that are summarized in the table and short justification below. Staff prioritized the replenishment of lost revenues to continue to provide vital services first. The next priority for considering the allocation of ARPA funds was to offset additional costs to the City due to changes in business practices, additional wear and tear to City facilities, and address changes to the City’s workforce due to COVID-19.

Employee COVID-19 Testing: The COVID-19 pandemic continues to distrupt normal business operations throughout the region. The arrival of the Omicron variant of COVID19 saw widespread infections throughout the Santa Barbara community. The surge in reported COVID-19 cases continues throughout the Santa Barbara community and has created a critical shortage of testing. The Finance Director issued an emergency purchase declaration on January 11, 2022, to procure COVID-19 testing services from South Coast Analytics through the end of January. On February 1, 2022, the City Council authorized an extension of this agreement and appropriation of $400,000 of General Fund reserves to be budgeted in the Human Resources department for ongoing testing services. ARPA funds are being proposed to fund testing services and will be used to reinstate the General Fund reserves that were used since January 2022.

Finance Committee Agenda Report
The American Rescue Plan Act Update And Appropriation Request March 1, 2022

Plaza del Mar Band Shell Renovation: A designated City Landmark, the Plaza del Mar Band Shell was constructed in 1919 to provide a venue for public concerts. The COVID19 pandemic demonstrated that public parks, such as Plaza del Mar, are vital to community health and spurred interest in the revival of outdoor concert venues. The proposed project will renovate the Band Shell to achieve safety and structural upgrades, install a new roof, new electrical service and new lighting, and construct a new accessible pathway and ramp up to the stage. Renovation of the Band Shell will revitalize and enhance public access to Plaza del Mar for music, theatre, dance, cultural, and community celebrations for Santa Barbara residents of all ages. Proposed funding will match State and local grants and the project can be completed in summer 2022.

City Park Turf Renewal and Irrigation Upgrades: These funds will be used to complete turf and irrigation improvements in parks that have been impacted by high pandemic use.

Up to six athletic fields and large turf spaces will be renovated, with a focus on spaces that have been heavily used for both permitted and drop-in play. These funds will also upgrade irrigation controllers in eleven high-use parks where irrigation equipment has exceeded its useful life. These improvement projects will result in higher quality, safer, and more attractive fields and grassy areas in City parks, and will reduce staff-time and aide in water usage monitoring and conservation in highly-used parks. This project can be completed spring – fall 2022.

Oak Park Dance Floor Replacement: With these funds, the beloved and highly used wooden dance floor in Oak Park will receive a complete overhaul and renovation. Dating from the 1940s, the dance floor is used on a daily basis for dance and fitness classes, and provides a central gathering and celebratory location for many ethnic festivals held in Oak Park. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the dance floor has provided a safe outdoor venue for community members to recreate. As a result, the significant increase in use further advanced its deterioration and created unsafe conditions. This project will remove and replace all deteriorated framing, perimeter skirting, benches, handrails, and dance floor surfaces. In addition, the project will install a weatherproof coating compatible with dance floor needs. This project can be completed by spring 2022.

Accela System Optimization: The Accela software system is used by the City’s InterDepartmental Land Development Team to process development and construction approvals to Santa Barbara businesses and residents. The system was launched in 2019 and requires on-going support and maintenance. The allocated ARPA funds would allow the Land Development Team and Information Technology to make considerable improvements to the system in a short period of time, allowing staff to be more efficient in their work and provide better service to our customers. These improvements can contribute to increased housing in a community where adequate affordable housing does not exist. The funds will go towards upgrades and contractor services, and will be expended by the end of FY2024.

Classification and Compensation Study: The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated adoption of existing trends and work models in how the workspace functions. Like many Finance Committee Agenda Report
The American Rescue Plan Act Update And Appropriation Request March 1, 2022

governmental agencies, City employees are deemed Disaster Services workers, essential to the community we serve. As the need arose, sectors of the City’s workforce adjusted to working from home as offices closed and remote work became commonplace and encouraged. Employees in essential areas, such as Public Safety and Water Resources, continued to report to the workplace and the field for continuity of operations with new protocols to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

Before COVID-19, some of the largest disruptions to work involved the implementation of new technologies. COVID-19 has now elevated the importance of examining both the physical and technical dimensions of work. The way we work, where we work, and the workspace itself, have dramatically changed in response to the pandemic. In addition, the current labor market has marked shortages of potential employees, thus making it difficult to not only attract quality employees, but retain them as well. The City’s 15% vacancy rate increases the urgency to take steps to review our classifications, qualifications, benefits programs, and salaries to ensure the City’s services are sustainable in this highly competitive labor market.

The following objectives are purposed of the study:

1. Address changes in City operations and staffing over the past two years, which may have affected the type, scope, level, and classification of work being performed;

2. Develop strategies for retaining qualified employees;

3. Develop stratagies for maintaining a competitive place in the market to attract applicants; and

4. Ensure the staffing structure is sufficient to respond to the evolving needs of the community.

Most organizations conduct comprehensive classification and compensation studies every five to seven years, ensuring their ability to hire and retain qualified employees and maintain equitable internal relationships. The last time that a full-scale, citywide study was conducted was 1991. Much has changed since 1991, and the acceleration of change due to the pandemic has highlighted the need for a current, accurate, and timely classification and compensation system that will attract, retain, and properly reward employees for the work they perform.

Homeless and Mental Health Services – Co-Response Officer: The Crisis Intervention Co-Response Officer provides public safety and services to those believed to be experiencing mental health issues through a co-response with Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness. The co-response officer partners with, and rides in the same vehicle with, a mobile crisis worker through Behavioral Wellness. The coresponse officer, in conjunction with the mobile crisis worker, evaluates people in crisis, with an emphasis in attempting to de-escalate potentially volatile situations. The coresponse officer may provide transportation for individuals experiencing mental crisis to community-based facilities for evaluation and treatment, rather than arrest, when possible. This funding is projected to provide support of one officer up to three years.

Finance Committee Agenda Report
The American Rescue Plan Act Update And Appropriation Request March 1, 2022

Library Digital Materials: Santa Barbara Public Library offers an array of online learning platforms, digital databases, and individual titles. A comprehensive digital library collection is essential to being responsive to community needs, particularly for those that have been impacted by COVID-19 and the most vulnerable that are unable to visit the physical Library. The rise in demand for digital material was witnessed after the onset of the pandemic, as evident on digial resources platforms, when unique users of Hoopla in 2020 increased 37% compared with the 25% increase in 2019, and users of Overdrive increased 18% in 2020 compared with 10% in 2019. Over a million items have circulated to date on Overdrive alone by SBPL patrons, and that trend is expected to continue.

As costs for digital materials continue to rise, the Library’s ability to meet demand has become increasingly challenging and staff has only been able to fulfill about 25% of purchase suggestions. A $300,000 enhancement to the Library’s digital collections would aid in securing increased access to community members and reducing wait times for needed material. The enhancement would also be used to support the Student Success Card initiative, providing over 10,000 S.B. Unified students access to digital content.

Library Garage for Mobile Customer Service: The worldwide pandemic limited the access of vital library services due to the need to adhere to public health mandates to keep patrons and staff safe. In June 2021, in response to these limitations, the Santa Barbara Public Library launched a Library on the Go van – a fully functional mobile library branch. The Library on the Go van brings collections, services, programs, and staff to sites throughout the greater Santa Barbara area, including parks, low-income housing sites, immigrant program providers, and senior living facilities. Programs have included early literacy classes and storytimes, outdoor Storywalks, hands-on coding classes, healthy cooking classes, and adult education services for the Neighborhood Navigation Centers in coordination with SB ACT and other organizations serving people experiencing homelessness.

With the addition of the van, outreach has increased with over 100 stops visited within the first 6 months of use. Building on the success of the Library’s outreach efforts and collaboration with established community partners, SBPL secured grant funding for an additional outreach vehicle in January 2022. Both vehicles will be fully customized and equipped with WiFi, hotspots, laptops, materials for checkout, tables, carts, and an array of other outreach items.

These vehicles are essential to providing off site library services, particularly to the most vulnerable, and the construction of a garage is critical to preserving them to allow for long term use in the community. A secure garage is needed to safely store materials and to protect the vehicles and all of the equipment from weather, theft, vandalism, and other elements, and should be equipped with adequate lighting and safety features as security cameras and power to charge the vehicles and outreach devices. The space also needs to be large enough to house multiple vehicles with enough shelving and workspace to store and prepare materials as each outreach visit is tailored to the needs of the location Finance Committee Agenda Report
The American Rescue Plan Act Update And Appropriation Request March 1, 2022

and to allow for quick and efficient access for staff to be able to safely load and unload materials.

Broadband Strategic Plan: On November 16, 2021, the City Council authorized the City to enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments, the County of Santa Barbara, and most cities in the county to prepare a regional broadband strategic plan. The City Council also supported financially contributing $60,460 to this effort using this second tranche of ARPA funds at the November 16, 2021 Council meeting.

Revenue Replacement: The General Fund and the Downtown Parking Fund experienced lost revenues due to COVID-19. The General Fund has has lost approximately $22 Million and the Downtown Parking Fund has lost approximately $9 Million of revenue since COVID-19 began. Staff is proposing to partially replace lost revenue of $3.4 Million in the General Fund and $1.2 Million in the Downtown Parking Fund to allow the City to continue to provide police, fire, recreation, library, parking, and other services to the community and not reduce services.

Revenue Replacement – Downtown Parking for Transitional Housing Project: On March 1, 2022, staff is recommending that the City Council enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the County of Santa Barbara, in partnership with Dignity Moves, to place 33 temporary, small portable housing units and related facilities at the County’s Garden Street Parking Lot. The goal of this project is to provide shelter and supporting services to assist the unhoused population. The City will provide up to 46 parknig spaces at the Granada Garage to offset the lost parking spaces. The current value of foregone annual parking permit revenue for 3 years is $294,400. The Downtown Parking fund has lost a great deal of revenue directly to COVID-19. This request will backfill the lost revenue in the fund specifically related to this MOU.

Additional Options for Uses of ARPA Funds

Homeless and Mental Health Services – Co-Response Officer: Additional resources are needed to staff the Crisis Intervention Co-Response program above and beyond current funding. This funding is projected to provide support of one additional officer for one year.

COVID-19 Cleaning Protocols: Since COVID-19 began, staff have done an exceptional job adhering to various federal, state, and county requirements and best practices related to cleaning, in order to keep the work sites safe and healthy for City staff and the public.

To date, the City has spent approximately $110,000 on cleaning work sites. It is projected that the City will need to incur an additional $40,000 of cleaning expenses through the remainder of FY2022. This request is projected to adequately cover all cleaning-related costs since COVID-19 began through the end of FY2022.

Rent Control Program: On February 1, 2022, the City Council authorized staff to develop a scope of work for a potential rent control program and appropriate $200,000 of General Fund reserves in FY2022 into the City Administrator’s budget for consulting services.

Implementing such a program is in line with providing economic assistance to households, and this request would be used to reinstate the General Fund reserves.

Economic Development Initiatives: In response to COVID-19 and efforts to address downtown commercial vacancy, the City Council authorized a $75,000 contract in FY2022 Finance Committee Agenda Report
The American Rescue Plan Act Update And Appropriation Request March 1, 2022

with Santa Barbara Better Together to support economic development initiatives including business attraction and retention efforts and engagement with downtown commercial property owners. Staff is proposing the use $50,000 of ARPA funds to continue the partnership to produce business district and buy local collateral materials to support small businesses and the local economy.

Pandemic Pay: With the March 4, 2020 declaration of a state of emergency, City staff have played key roles in maintaining critical City services while managing the professional and personal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under California Government Code, City workers are disaster services workers who can be called upon in any emergency to assure continuity of City operations and matters of community safety. As such, municipal workers are essential. City staff have worked throughout the pandemic in various capacities from providing critical public safety services, to taking care of water and wastewater services, to ensuring the community has access to online reading and educational materials.

Throughout the pandemic, staff have been diligent in monitoring, implementing, and adhering to federal, state, and local health orders intended to limit the spread of the virus, to protect the health and well-being of fellow employees, and the community we serve, while trying to keep themselves and their own families safe. Employees have been flexible, available, and have learned how to work with different systems, methods and in various spaces in a short amount of time. The City has relied on its employees to continue to successfully operate and provide quality and necessary services to the community.

ARPA stipulates specific reasons for which these funds can be used, which includes the provision of “Pandemic Pay” (more commonly referred to as “Hero Pay”), and is considered a one-time compensation bonus for those essential workers who have worked throughout the pandemic. Providing Pandemic Pay to our employees aligns with the intention of how the ARPA funds are able to be used and how the federal government envisioned the dollars to be spent.

One-time Pandemic Pay would be provided for regular full- and part-time employees who were active employees, on paid status, between the pay period starting March 14, 2020 until effective date of this action. The requested amount for Pandemic Pay is approximately $1.5 Million. This would be allocated to employees in the following manner:
 Employees in paid status between March 14, 2020 and March 12, 2021 – $1,000;  Employees in paid status between March 13, 2021 until present (depending on Council appropriation) – $700; and
 Regular Part-time employees would receive a pro-rated amount in accordance with their allocated percentage of FTE.

Agencies throughout California have allocated similar pay to their employees with varying criteria. Although there are various formulas for allocating such pay, weighing who was more deserving or should receive a greater amount based on the work done throughout the past two years is impossible. The first year of the pandemic was a time of confusion, reaction, uncertainty, and adjustment to a new normal. Year two of the pandemic Finance Committee Agenda Report
The American Rescue Plan Act Update And Appropriation Request March 1, 2022

continues to deliver a sea of constant change. Every City employee contributed greatly to continue to provide necessary services and programs to the community. A flat amount to be distributed is the most fair and is the recommended action.

Clean Energy Loan Forgiveness: Santa Barbara Clean Energy’s request for loan forgiveness will directly benefit utility rate payers by mitigating, and potentially avoiding, electricity rate increases, and will allow the City to offer programs and incentives directly to electrical customers to manage their bills and reduce electricity usage and greenhouse gas emissions. The City’s General Fund provided a $2 Million loan to help cover startup costs which would begin to be repaid by the program beginning in FY2023. Eliminating some (or all) of the payment will help the program better balance its budget forecast, which was negatively impacted by significant run ups in 2021 energy markets, and help mitigate negative impacts to utility rate payers.

State Street Deep Cleaning and Lighting Enhancement: The closure of multiple blocks of State Street to vehicular traffic during the pandemic increased foot traffic and many other heavy and intense uses to the street and sidewalk. In FY2022, the City spent $370,000 on plaza maintenance, including flag rotation, landscape maintenance, pressure washing, and janitorial services on the sidewalk. In FY2023, staff budgeted to nearly double cleaning services by expanding janitorial services into the street. This proposal includes a quarterly “deep cleaning” of 10 blocks of the promenade, which includes sweeping and pressure washing, at $100,000 for each cleaning for 3 years.

In FY2021, the City installed holiday and strung lights on various blocks on State Street.

This proposal includes $50,000 for additional lighting installations to promote continued activation and safety.

State Street Master Plan: This funding will be allocated to a consultant team to assist staff in preparing a State Street Master Plan that addresses numerous plan elements identified by the State Street Advisory Committee and City Council. The contract for the Master Plan is anticipated to include research and analysis of existing conditions, technical studies, a comprehensive public outreach and engagement strategy, an urban design framework plan, and an implementation plan. The State Street Master Plan location will span from the 101 freeway to Sola street and Chapala to Anacapa streets.

The Master Plan will look at innovative solutions to reinvigorate downtown while balancing the needs of Santa Barbara residents and visitors in order to create a vibrant downtown core.

The Master Plan’s urban design framework will include elements such as transportation, parking and transit, streetscape design, economic development, housing, homelessness, and arts and culture. Upon completion of the State Street Master Plan, a significant multiyear capital improvement project in the downtown area is expected. This funding will provide contract payment for completion of the State Street Master Plan over two years.

The State Street Master Plan has an anticipated completion date between quarter 4 2023 – Quarter 2 2024.

Finance Committee Agenda Report
The American Rescue Plan Act Update And Appropriation Request March 1, 2022

Staff is requesting $300,000 in ARPA funds as a critical source in covering the cost of a consultant contract for the State Street Master Plan. These additional funds will enable City staff to award a total contract amount up to $750,000. Staff anticipates awarding a contract between May – July 2022.

Additonal Library Digital Materials: This additional request will help ensure SBPL’s successful transition from Black Gold Library Cooperative. There are several thousand titles SBPL purchased collectively with Black Gold that will need to be replaced as the City withdraws from the cooperative. This additional $200,000 will assist in making the transition a success.

Revenue Replacement: The General Fund experienced lost revenues due to COVID19. In preparation for the upcoming FY2023 budget cycle, staff has developed a multiyear forecast for revenues and expenditures, and operating deficits are projected in each year from FY2023 through FY2025, partly due to revenue concerns related to ongoing impacts from COVID-19. Staff is proposing to partially replace projected lost revenue of $3 Million in the General Fund in FY2023, FY2024, and FY2025 to allow the City to continue to provide police, fire, recreation, library, and other services to the community and not reduce services.

Staff are planning on presenting the Finance Committee’s recommended list of ARPA initiatives to the City Council for their review and approval at the City Council meeting scheduled for March 8, 2022.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The City has suffered revenue losses and additional costs to address impacts of COVID19 in multiple funds over the past two years. Economic uncertainty continues in FY2022, and potential impacts of additional revenue loss related to the recent Omicron variant are unknown at this time. In preparing for the upcoming FY2023 budget, staff continues to evaluate changes and impacts in the economy and the direct impacts to the City’s budget.

The allocation of $3.4 Million in the General Fund and $1.2 Million in the Downtown Parking Fund will allow the City to continue to provide vital services to the community.

The allocation of the remaining ARPA funds for specific initiatives to address additional operational impacts and financial costs to the City directly related to COVID-19 will be accomplished where a funding source does not currently exist or is very limited, or may more significantly deteriate limited reserves even further.

2. Nonconforming Conditions. If the accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit is developed in accordance with all the requirements of this Chapter, and is eligible for ministerial approval, the provision in Section 29.90.001.B, Existing Parking Space, that requires nonconforming parking to be brought up to current standards if an enlargement of more than 50% of the existing net floor area is proposed, shall not apply if the new floor area consists of a new accessory dwelling unit.

B. JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. No automobile parking is required for junior accessory dwelling units, since they are not anticipated to increase parking demand generated by the development.

C. NO PARKING REQUIRED FOR CERTAIN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. The following types of accessory dwelling units are not anticipated to increase parking demand generated by the development and therefore automobile parking is not required for the accessory dwelling unit if it meets all of the following criteria:

1. Outside Key Public Access Areas. The accessory dwelling unit is not located in a key public access parking area (West Beach, Lower State, and East Beach Component Areas) as delineated in Figure 3.1-2 of the Coastal Land Use Plan; and

2. On a Lot Developed with a Single Residential Unit. The accessory dwelling unit is located on a lot developed, or proposed to be developed with, only one single residential unit on the lot; and

a. The accessory dwelling unit is located within a walking distance of one-half mile of a public transit stop, such as a bus stop or train station; or
15 b. The accessory dwelling unit is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district. For purposes of this provision, El Pueblo Viejo Landmark District constitutes an architecturally and historically significant historic district and any district hereafter created deemed to be architecturally and historically significant; or c. The accessory dwelling unit is contained entirely within the permitted floor area of the existing primary residential unit or an existing accessory building; or
d. When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupants of the accessory dwelling unit; or
e. When there is a carshare vehicle located within a walking distance of 500 feet of the accessory dwelling unit.

D. ALL OTHER UNITS. All other accessory dwelling units shall provide a minimum of one uncovered automobile parking space meeting all of the same parking standards required for the primary residential unit as described in Subsection A, above.

E. OPTIONAL PARKING SPACES. If new parking spaces are proposed, but are not required, for either the primary residential unit or the accessory dwelling unit, those optional parking spaces shall comply with the development standards applicable to a residential unit within the zone in which the lot is located. Uncovered parking spaces may be located three feet from any interior lot line, provided a minimum of three feet in width of planting area is provided for the length of the paved parking area along the interior lot line.

28.86.085 Fire Hazard Area Standards
All accessory dwelling units or junior accessory dwelling units located in any Fire Hazard Area as defined in the City’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan or as may be subsequently retitled in the future as the “High” or “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone” as defined in the Community Wildfire Protection Plan adopted by City Council shall comply with the following standards as applicable to new construction or parking:

On a motion from Councilmember Meagan Harmon and seconded by Councilmember Mike Jordan, Council voted to approve the sidewalk vending ordinance with proposed changes. Those changes are the following:
 Expand acceptable forms of identification for the purpose of obtaining a City business tax license;
 That administrative penalties shall not be imposed on vendors for violations of the ordinance during the first year following the Ordinance’s enactment as initial efforts will go towards education and outreach campaigns in English and Spanish to assist vendor compliance with the new regulations; Agenda Item No. 4
