Financial Status Report as of March 31, 2022
This report summarizes the City’s financial performance for the month ended March 31, 2022. Financial analysis for the report is provided for the General Fund, select Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Operating Funds, and Capital Improvement Funds. Financial information included in this report is unaudited.
General Fund
The General Fund is the major operating fund for the City and includes multiple programs, services, and activities for the residents and businesses of the City. The adopted budget for operating revenues and expenditures for fiscal year 2021/22 was $289.3 million. The budget for revenues and expenditures was amended to $271.5 million to reflect carryover appropriations from fiscal year 2020/21 and various budget amendments approved by the City Council through March 2022.
Through March, General Fund revenues are currently tracking to end the year at or slightly below budgeted levels. General Fund expenditures are tracking below budget and this trend is expected to continue as departments continue to control expenditures through various cost control measures.
Overall, the General Fund is expected to end the year with additional ending fund balance.
Economic conditions have improved significantly since the start of the pandemic, with many indicators close to pre-pandemic levels. On a national level, the unemployment rate remained relatively flat, slightly decreasing from 3.8% in February 2022 to 3.6% in March 2022. This rate was well below the record setting high of 14.7% in April 2020, but slightly above the pre-pandemic unemployment rate of
3.5%. In March, the number of unemployed persons decreased from 6.3 million in February 2022 to 6.0 million. This unemployment figure remains slightly above the pre-pandemic level of 5.7 million.1
In the advance estimate for the first quarter of 2022, GDP decreased at an annual rate of 1.4%, following an increase of 6.9% in the fourth quarter of 2021.2 This decline is the result of the resurgence

of COVID-19 cases and decreases in government pandemic assistance. Additionally, issues stemming from supply chain and widespread inflation are also factors in the estimated decrease.
While GDP has now
surpassed the pre-
COVID peak in the
second quarter 2021, it
has not yet reached the
pre-pandemic trend. Per
the March 2022 UCLA
Anderson Forecast, GDP
is expected to reach the
pre-COVID trend by mid-
2022. On an annual
basis, the UCLA Forecast
projects continued GDP
growth of 4.3% in 2022,
2.8% in 2023, and 2.3%
in 2024. The UCLA
forecast, however, comes with
considerable uncertainty. Major
risk factors include the future
course of the pandemic as well as the impacts of the war between Russia and Ukraine.3

5 City of Santa Clara
Financial Status Report as of March 31, 2022
General Fund Revenues
Sales Tax: The City of Santa Clara sales tax rate is 9.0%, of which the City receives 1.0%. As of March 31, 2022, $33.8 million has been collected, which is up $0.7 million from the prior year level and is based on performance through the first two quarters of the fiscal year. Cash receipts were down 5.0% in the first quarter and were up 14.8% in the second quarter; overall, receipts are up 4.6% through the first two quarters of FY 2021/22. On an economic basis, local business activity was up 20.4% in the second quarter of the fiscal year, with increases in all sectors as follows: business to business up
4.5%; general retail up 35.0%; food products up 59.7%; transportation up 23.3%; and construction up
43.8%. The County pool was up 0.7% in the second quarter. The County pool, which includes internet sales, accounts for approximately 20% of the sales tax the City receives. Overall, annual Sales Tax growth of 3.6% is needed to meet the budgeted estimate of $58.2 million. Based on collections to date, receipts are projected to slightly exceed the budget.
Property Tax: Through March, 59.2% of the property tax budgeted estimate has been received. The majority of property tax revenue is collected in February and April each year. Based on information f rom the County of Santa Clara, property tax receipts are projected to end the year slightly above the Adopted Budget estimate of $71.6 million.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): TOT is calculated as a percentage of City hotel/motel room charges. The City’s current TOT rate is 11.5% as of January 2022. Through March 31, 2022, approximately $4.7 million has been received, which is significantly higher than receipts through the same period last fiscal year of $1.6 million. However, receipts remain 63% below the pre-COVID 19 level of $12.6 million received through March 2020. As businesses continue to reopen, it is anticipated that TOT will continue to increase compared to last fiscal year. To meet the budgeted estimate, collections will need to triple from just under $3.0 million in FY 2020/21 to $9.0 million in FY 2021/22.
With the January 2022 rate increase, TOT receipts are projected to end the year at $8.0 million - $9.0 million.
Other Taxes: Includes franchise tax ($2.1 million) and documentary transfer tax ($1.6 million). The City has collected $3.7 million through March, which is 24.8% above receipts received through the same period last fiscal year. The strong growth in this category is driven by the documentary transfer tax performance, which is up 81% from the prior year. Franchise Tax collections are consistent with prior year levels. Growth of 4.4% is needed to meet the budgeted estimate of $6.1 million. Collections are projected to exceed the budgeted estimate.
Licenses & Permits: Includes business licenses, fire operation permits, and miscellaneous permits and fees. Effective FY 2021/22, building, electric, plumbing and mechanical permits have all been budgeted in the new Building Development Services Fund, which is reflected in the Special Revenue section of this report. Licenses and permits revenue collections total $2.1 million, or 67.5% of the budget of $3.2 million. Receipts are tracking slightly below estimated levels through March and may end the year below the budgeted estimate.
6 City of Santa Clara
Financial Status Report as of March 31, 2022
Fines & Penalties: Includes vehicle, parking, court fines, and miscellaneous penalty fines. The revenue of $0.3 million collected in this category through March is tracking to end the year well below the budgeted estimate of $1.5 million largely due to the waiving of late fees on utility billing in response to COVID-19.
Intergovernmental: Includes motor vehicle fees, state homeowner tax relief, state mandated reimbursement and redistribution of land sale proceeds and ground leases from the Successor Agency.
Through March 31, 2022, $2.4 million has been received, which is higher than receipts through the same period last year and primarily reflects reimbursements for fire mutual aid services. The federal stimulus funds ($26 million) have been moved to a separate American Rescue Plan Act Fund, which is reflected in this report.
Charges for Services: Includes various engineering fees, administrative fees, and community service revenue from various recreational activities. Through March, collections totaled approximately $22.2 million or 74% of the budget. This reflects a 6.4% decrease compared to last year’s collections through the same period of $23.7 million. The decrease is mainly attributable to the plan check and sign fees now being recorded in the newly established Building Development Services Fund. This decrease is partially offset by higher collections in the planning and zoning fees, fire construction permits, and miscellaneous charges for services categories. Collections are tracking close to the budgeted estimate.
Silicon Valley Power Transfer: In accordance with the City’s charter, Silicon Valley Power pays 5.0% of gross revenues to the General Fund. As of March 31, 2022, $19.3 million has been received which is on par for this time of year. This collection level, however, is based on the budgeted estimate and will be trued up at the end of the fiscal year. Growth of less than 1% from the prior year is needed to meet the budgeted estimate of $24.7 million.
Use of Money & Property: Includes realized investment income and rental income. Interest income and rent revenue collections totaled $8.5 million, or 71.4% of the budget. This reflects a $0.5 million increase from prior year collection levels, primarily due to higher rent collections.
Miscellaneous Revenues: Includes developer fees, donations, damage recovery, sale of surplus, and one-time miscellaneous revenues. Through March 31, 2022, collections of $0.6 million have exceeded the budgeted estimate of $0.2 million; however, are significantly lower than prior year collections of $4.3 million as a result of a one-time payment in FY 2020/21.
Stadium Operation: Through March, charges for services collected through the Stadium totaled $2.5 million, which is below par for this time of year. This is due in part to the timing of when the City receives reimbursements. Current year collections are approximately 35% higher than collections through the same period last year resulting from the reopening of Stadium for events.

Financial Status Report as of March 31, 2022
General Fund Expenditures
As of March 31, 2022, $187.5 million or 69.1% of the General Fund operating budget had been expended. Departmental expenditures totaled $143.7 million, or 63.1% of the budget, which is below the par level of 75% of the budget. As part of the FY 2020/21 Budgetary Year-End Report, $26 million of the Police and Fire Department’s budgets was reallocated to the newly established ARPA Fund.
Both the budget and associated expenditures have been shifted to the new fund. Fund Transfers of $43.8 million have occurred as budgeted.
Several cost-control measures that were implemented in FY 2019/20 remain in place to generate expenditure savings to partially offset the drop in revenues associated with COVID-19. These measures include a hiring freeze and controls around overtime, as-needed staff, marketing, travel, technology and vehicle purchases. With these measures, expenditures are expected to end the year below budget.

Financial Status Report as of March 31, 2022
General Fund Expenditures
Below is an explanation of certain budget to actual expenditure variances through March by department.
Non-Departmental: Includes expenditures that are not attributable to a single department, but a function of the City in general. Expenditures totaled $3.3 million, or 43% of the budget. These expenditures are well below the par level of 75%, which is due in part to the unexpended separation payout allocation of $1.8 million. Expenditures are tracking slightly above the prior year level of $2.9 million. This is a result of the reallocation of City memberships from the City Manager’s Office to the Non-Departmental budget. Additionally, contractual services are higher than last fiscal year due to an increase in the permitting system licensing costs.
City Attorney: Actual expenditures totaled approximately $1.8 million, which is below par at 56.3% of the budget. This is mainly attributable to lower salary and as-needed spending. Spending is above the total expenditures through the same time last fiscal year by 7.7%. This is a result of the reallocation of contractual services from the Special Liability Insurance Fund to the City Attorney’s Office operating budget. Additionally, higher separation payout expenditures occurred this fiscal year compared to last fiscal year.
City Clerk: Through March, actual expenditures were tracking below budget at $1.0 million or approximately 59.2% of the budget. This reflects a decrease of 24.9% over last year’s spending through the same period. The primary driver for the decrease in spending is the Granicus costs which are paid every other year.
City Council: Through March, expenditures were at 72.5% of budget, which is slightly below par.
Compared to the same period through last fiscal year, this reflects a spending increase of approximately 11% which is a result of higher as-needed and separation payout expenditures compared to last fiscal year.
City Manager: The actual expenditures through March totaled $3.7 million, or 58.5% of the budget, which is below par for this time of the year. Expenditures are consistent with the spending level through the same period last fiscal year. The below-par expenditure level is related to the reallocation of City memberships and mandated costs from the City Manager’s Office budget to Non-Departmental in addition to lower advertising and contractual services expenditures.
Community Development Department: This department consists of three divisions: Planning, Building, and Housing and Community Services. Effective this fiscal year, the Building division of this department has been moved to the newly established Building Development Services Fund, which falls under the special revenue section of this report. Through March, departmental expenditures for the Planning and Housing and Community Services divisions totaled $3.5 million, or approximately 64.1%, which is below the par level of 75%. This is a result of vacancies in the department. Expenditures were also well below the spending through the same period last fiscal year due to the change in funding for the Building Division.

Financial Status Report as of March 31, 2022
Finance Department: Through March, the Department’s expenditures totaled $11.6 million, or 63.5% of the budget, which is below par. This is mainly attributable to lower expenditures in the operating supplies and contractual services categories. This expenditure level was slightly above the prior year level.
Fire Department: Through March, actual expenditures in the General Fund totaled $33.6 million, or 66% of the budget, which is below par. These expenditures reflect a 23.8% decrease from expenditures through the same period last fiscal year. This is a result of the shifting of approximately $11.2 million of eligible expenditures to the newly established ARPA Fund.
Overtime expenditures are tracking at 117.9% of the budget. While this overtime figure is high, it is important to note that overtime is used to backfill for vacant positions and the vacancy savings offset a portion of the overtime costs. Fire Department expenditures have also been impacted by mutual aid deployments to address wildland fires (Caldor, Dixie, River and Beckwourth complex fires), for which the City is reimbursed for its costs. As approved by City Council on April 19, 2022, $1.8 million of wildland reimbursements was recognized and appropriated to the Fire Department ($0.9 million was added to the Department’s overtime budget, $0.2 million was added to the non-personnel budget, while $0.7 million transferred to the Vehicle Replacement Fund to cover costs for a fire engine replacement).
With that adjustment to the overtime budget, expenditures would be tracking at 94.9% of the budget.
Library Department: Through March, actual expenditures totaled $6.5 million, or 60% of the budget, which is below par and lower than expenditure levels through the same period last fiscal year. COVID- 19 precautions have continued to impact Library operations this year, resulting in lower expenditures. A phased reopening is in progress, but this schedule was delayed due to the increase in COVID-19 cases resulting from the latest Omicron variant.
Parks and Recreation Department: Through March, actual expenditures totaled approximately $13.3 million, or 62.1% of the budget, which is below par, and is slightly higher than the prior year actuals of $12.3 million. The department has resumed most activities that were previously impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. However, some programming continues to be impacted by staff vacancies.
Police Department: Through March, actual expenditures in the General Fund totaled $40.6 million, or
62.2% of the budget, which is below par. Expenditures are significantly below the spending levels last fiscal year in the General Fund due to the ARPA funds received by the City. As mentioned above, eligible expenditures totaling $14.7 million, have been shifted to the ARPA Fund.
Stadium Operation: Stadium operating expenditures are incurred first and billed on a reimbursement basis creating a timing difference in revenue recognition. Through March, stadium expenditures totaled $5.4 million, or 75% of the budget. This is significantly higher than expenditures through the same period last year, as a direct result of the reopening of the Stadium for events.

Governmental Capital Improvement Funds
The table below lists the total amended budget amounts for the Capital Improvement Funds, which consist of current year appropriations, prior year carryover balances in Governmental Capital Improvement Funds, and budget amendments approved through March 2022. As of March 31, 2022, these capital fund expenditures totaled $19.4 million, or 14.6% of the amended budget. As part of the adoption of the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 operating budget, some capital funds were carried over for projects that were not anticipated to be completed by June 30, 2021. Necessary additional adjustments to the capital carryover amounts were included as part of the Budgetary Year-End Report for FY 2020/21, approved at the December 14, 2021 Council meeting. These adjustments are reflected below.
The carryover of prior year budget amounts is necessary when services or projects are started but not completed at the end of the fiscal year. This is especially true for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that typically spans several years. The table below displays the expenditure budget for the General Government capital funds excluding transfers.

Enterprise Funds
The table below is a summary of revenues and expenses for the Enterprise Operating Funds as of March 31, 2022. Overall, revenues and expenditures are tracking below budgeted levels with revenues tracking at 69.3% of the budget and expenditures tracking at 70.6% of the budget.
Both revenues and expenditures are tracking above last fiscal year levels reflecting current activity levels. The increase in expenditures in the Electric Utility is primarily due to the higher debt retirement costs as well as higher resource costs related to transmission and wheeling (transportation of electric energy from within an electrical grid to an electrical load outside the grid boundaries). In the Solid Waste Utility Fund, expenditures are up primarily in the garbage collections, disposal and recycling accounts resulting from higher contractual services costs.

Revenues in the electric (which also includes the Electric Debt Service Fund), water, and sewer utility (which also includes the Sewer Debt Service Fund) and water recycling funds are primarily from customer service charges. The activity levels for these customer service charges also impact the resource and production costs on the expenditure side for these funds. The lower the revenue from customer service charges, the lower the expenditures in the resource and production category.
