REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Proclamation of May 4-10, 2025 as Drinking Water Week
BACKGROUND
In 1988, the American Water Works Association (AWWA), along with the League of Women Voters, the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency brought Drinking Water Week to the attention of legislators in Washington. Representative Robert Roe of New Jersey and Senator Dennis DeConcini of Arizona sponsored Senate Joint Resolution 185, which was signed by then President Ronald Reagan on May 3, 1988.
Since then, Drinking Water Week has been celebrated the first full week of May each year to recognize the efforts of the men and women who ensure that the public has high quality, potable water to drink. It also recognizes the importance of a safe and reliable supply of potable water to a region’s economy and quality of life.
DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Clara Water & Sewer Utilities staff is comprised of approximately 79 full-time and temporary administrators, engineers, compliance, and field staff who work tirelessly to fulfill its mission to provide our community with high-quality, reliable, economical and environmentally sustainable water in a manner that protects these resources for future generations of Santa Clarans.
This dependable source of drinking water is one of the factors that makes Santa Clara a great place to live and work.
As a thank you to our valuable water and sewer staff for their hard work and commitment to public service, and on behalf of the Santa Clarans they represent, we advocate for the declaration of May 4- 10, 2025, as Drinking Water Week in Santa Clara.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This is an informational report only and no action is being taken by the City Council and no environmental review under the California Environmental Quality (“CEQA”) is required
FISCAL IMPACT

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Proclamation of May 1, 2025 as Law Day in the City of Santa Clara Including Recognition of the Katharine & George Alexander Community Law Center at Santa Clara University for Their Contribution of Pro Bono Legal Services to the Community.
BACKGROUND
Law Day, held annually on May 1st, is a national day to honor the rule of law and reflect on the way law and the legal process contribute to the freedoms that all Americans share.
The idea for Law Day began in 1957, when American Bar Association president Charles S. Rhyne envisioned a day to celebrate the United States legal system. The following year, President Dwight D.
Eisenhower established Law Day to honor the principles of government under law. The president of the United States has issued a proclamation for Law Day annually since 1958. In 1961, Congress designated May 1st as Law Day.
The 2025 Law Day theme, “The Constitution’s Promise: Out of Many, One” recognizes the Constitution as a framework for government that unites the American people as one citizenry. This year’s theme encourages individuals to explore and renew their duties to one another under the Constitution and the country’s democratic norms.
DISCUSSION
On April 29, 2025, it is proposed that the City Council proclaim May 1, 2025 as Law Day in the City of Santa Clara. As part of this, the Katharine & George Alexander Community Law Center at Santa Clara University will be recognized for the pro bono legal services it provides to the community in the areas of immigration, consumer protection and worker’s rights laws.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

The Circulation, Youth, Reference, and Tech Center service points are scheduled for coverage, with security and custodial staffing also arranged for Sundays.

It was noted further that WiFi transmitters were installed in the garage, making it easier to receive calls or connect to WiFi from the underground parking garage. Processes have been improved so that the security guard will inform dispatch if cars are left behind. Signs are posted in the garage with the non-emergency police number.

STAFF REPORT
Deputy Director Seale
Over the last few days there has been an increase in vandalism at park buildings, most notably Agnew Park, and the community building restroom at Lawrence Station Area Parks. Santa Clara PD has been very responsive to the increase in vandalism.
Director Sparacino
The Commission will have the opportunity to provide interactive feedback regarding the FY 2025/26 Work Plan, and the Parks Master Plan. The Commission's feedback relative to community prioritization will help outline the Master Plan. Council briefings will be based on what is heard from community and Parks & Recreation Commission.
The Director provided updates on items going to City Council on March 11, and in April. On March 11, staff will be going to seek Council approval to amend the existing agreement with LPA, Inc. Council approval is needed to authorize the City to increase funding for the design needed for renovation of the ISC.
Recreation Manager Castro
Kindness Ambassador Program: Volunteers help mitigate issues that arise at the Magical Bridge Playground and assist patrons on how to best improve play.
First group of adult volunteers have been fingerprinted and trained, and have been at the Magical Bridge Playground on a regular basis. The Department continues to solicit more volunteers for the Kindness Ambassador Program.

COMMISSIONERS REPORT
ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Caldwell
Visited Maywood Park, and noted that Eisenhower ES has taken the backstop down. Maywood Park is in decent shape, but weeds are growing tall around trees. Deputy Director Seale mentioned that Maywood Park would be mowed within the week. He also visited Bill Wilson Park and reported that the bottle filling station was not operable. He walked around the perimeter of the ISC and noticed graffiti on the north side restroom building on the roll-up door. On the south side of the main building, the finish on the building is starting to fall off, and there appears to be signs of dry rot.
Commissioner DeMarco
Didn’t know what day the class schedule would go live. He had checked a few different sites for a couple of weeks leading up to activation. Unfortunately, he missed registration. The Commissioner stated that he has been filling out the commissioner visitation forms over the last two months, and was not sure if there was a benefit to providing his visitation data. Deputy Director Seale encouraged all commissioners to continue submitting comments as it has helped with getting the playground manufacturer for Westwood Oaks, and Homeridge Park to speed up their response to warranty issues, and with shipping replacement parts.
Commissioner Forte
Visited Lick Mill Park. He was invited to meet up with a local walking group. He checked with instructor friends regarding teaching classes, and commented that it is challenging to find instructors available for daytime scheduling,which aligns with comments previously made by Recreation Manager Castro.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Monthly Financial Status and Investment Reports for February 2025 and Approve the Related Budget Amendments
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
In compliance with the Charter of the City of Santa Clara and the adopted Investment Policy, the monthly financial report and monthly investment report for February 2025 are submitted for your information. The financial reviews, as of February 28, 2025, provide a year-to-date financial update to the City Council for fiscal year 2024/25. The analysis of the revenues collected and all expenditures measures the level of adherence to the established resource allocation plan and allows the City to monitor and project revenues and expenditures throughout the year.
The Adopted Budget incorporates the estimated revenues and planned expenditures for all funds.
The attached Financial Status Report provide the budget to actual revenue and expenditure summaries for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds and Enterprise Operating Funds, as well as expenditure summaries for Capital Improvement Funds and Fund Reserve Balances. Any significant variances are explained in the report.
In accordance with City Council Policy 051 - Donations to the City, a monthly activity and annual summary of donations received by department is included in these reports. Although the requirement of the policy is to report quarterly, the City will include this information monthly in the financial status report.
DISCUSSION
Monthly Financial Status Report (Attachment 1)
The attached Monthly Financial Status Report summarizes the City’s financial performance as of February 28, 2025 (Attachment 1). This report provides financial analysis for the General Fund, select Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Operating Funds, and Capital Improvement Funds.
Attachment 1 shows that General Fund revenues (excluding transfers) at 62.5% of the budget through February 2025. Revenues appear to be tracking slightly below par due to the timing of payments. However, General Fund revenues are currently tracking to exceed budgeted levels.
As shown in Attachment 1, General Fund expenditures (excluding transfers) were at 62.3% of budget through February 2025. Overall, expenditures are tracking within budgeted levels.

25-446 Agenda Date: 4/29/2025
As shown in Attachment 1, total revenues for Enterprise Funds (Electric, Water, Sewer, Cemetery, Solid Waste, and Water Recycling) were at 70.1% of the budget through February 28, 2025, while total expenses were at 55.6%.
In the month of February, donations of $30 were received, bringing total donations to $27,954.
The Spring 2025 UCLA Anderson Forecast points to significant uncertainty related to trade, fiscal policy, and geopolitical risk with the new administration. The Spring 2025 UCLA Anderson Forecast for California assumes the state’s economy will grow at about the same rate as the U.S. in 2025 and 2026 and slightly faster in 2027.
On a national level, the unemployment rate changed little from 4.1% in February 2025 to 4.2% in March 2025. The number of unemployed persons totaled 7.1 million, consistent with February numbers. In the third estimate for the fourth quarter 2024, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.4%, following a GDP increase of 3.1% in the third quarter.
The California unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.4% between January and February 2025. The unadjusted unemployment rate in the San José-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) was 4.2% in February 2025, down slightly from a revised 4.3% in January 2025, and below the February 2024 level of 4.3%.
Staff will continue to closely monitor the General Fund revenues and the City’s overall financial performance as the fiscal year progresses.
Monthly Investment Report (Attachment 2)
All securities held by the City of Santa Clara as of February 28, 2025, were in compliance with the City’s Investment Policy Statement regarding current market strategy and long-term goals and objectives. All securities held are rated “A” or higher by two nationally recognized rating agencies.
There is adequate cash flow and maturity of investments to meet the City’s needs for the next six months.
The City’s investment strategy for February 2025 was to invest funds not required to meet current obligations in securities listed in the prevailing Investment Policy Statement, with maturities not to exceed five years form the date of purchase. This strategy ensures safety of the City’s funds, provides liquidity to meet the City’s cash needs, and with a reasonable portfolio return of 4.03% in February.
The Monthly Investment Report also now includes a Statement of Transactions, following the Investment Inventory, in accordance with California Municipal Treasurers Association investment policy guidelines.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered do not constitute “projects” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations in that they are fiscal activities that do not involve the commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
From time to time, adjustments to the budget are required to reflect new information, align budgets with actual revenues and expenses, and correct for inadvertent errors. The recommended budget adjustments are described in Attachment 3 and summarized below:
· General Fund - a technical correction to reallocate funds to account for misallocated encumbrances. An action is also included to recognize and appropriate wildland deployment reimbursements to the Fire Department;
· Building Development Services Fund - transfers funding to the Vehicle Replacement Fund to account for higher than budgeted vehicle replacement costs; · Convention Center Enterprise Fund - a technical correction that shifts funding from the Operations and Maintenance Reserve to the Unrestricted Ending Fund Balance; · Electric Utility Capital Fund - reallocates funding from the Generation Capital Maintenance and Betterments project and from unrestricted ending fund balance to the Major Engine Overhaul project to address unanticipated, emergency repairs;
· Sewer Utility Fund - transfers funding to the Special Liability Insurance Fund as an initial reimbursement for a settlement agreement related to the utility; · Special Liability Insurance Fund - recognizes a transfer from the Sewer Utility Fund and replenishes the Reserve for Future Claims and recognizes and appropriates revenue to the claims payments appropriation; and
· Vehicle Replacement Fund - recognizes a transfer from the Building Development Services Fund and appropriates the funding for the replacement of two Building-assigned vehicles.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

Financial Status Report as of February 28, 2025

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.
Economic Outlook
In its Spring 2025 Forecast, the UCLA Anderson Forecast points to significant uncertainty related to trade, fiscal policy, and geopolitical risk with the new administration. The Forecast predicts higher unemployment and higher prices in 2025 with some potential upside in 2027 and beyond. “As a result of the combined effects of deportations and tariffs, we expect GDP and productivity growth to decline in late 2025 by about 1 percentage point and to recover by the end of 2026. (2025Q1 negative productivity growth is due to U.S. Census data adjustment to the size of the labor supply.) The unemployment rate will simultaneously rise and hit 4.5% by the first quarter of 2026 and gradually recover afterwards to 4.0% in 2027. We expect Inflation to remain elevated around 3 percent throughout 2025 and 2026. Tariffs will be the main cause of higher prices in 2025, while deportations will drive prices in 2026 via higher food and wage inflation of around 4 percent.”1 U.S. Quarterly Real GDP Growth Forecast (UCLA Spring 2025 Economic Forecast)

On a national level, the unemployment rate changed little from 4.1% in February 2025 to 4.2% in March 2025. In March, the number of unemployed persons totaled 7.1 million, consistent with February levels.2
In the fourth quarter 2024 third estimate, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 2.4%, following a GDP increase of 3.1% in the third quarter. The increase in real GDP primarily reflected increases in consumer spending and government spending that were partially offset by a decrease in investment.3

Financial Status Report as of February 28, 2025
At the state level, the California unemployment rate remained unchanged between January 2025 and February 2025 at 5.4%. This rate is higher compared to the 5.1% rate in February 2024. Over the past year, California employers have added 78,200 nonfarm jobs.4 The Spring 2025 UCLA Anderson Forecast for California assumes the state’s economy will grow at about the same rate as the U.S. in 2025 and 2026 and slightly faster in 2027. “The unemployment rate for the 1st quarter of this year is expected to average 5.5%, and the average for 2025, 2026 and 2027 is expected to be 5.7%, 5.2% and 4.8% respectively. Our forecast for 2025, 2026, and 2027 is for total employment growth rates to be 0.5%, 1.2%, and 1.1%. Non-farm payroll jobs are expected to grow at a
1.1%, 0.9%, and 1.7% rate during the same three years. Real personal income is forecast to grow by
2.5% in 2025, 2.4% in 2026 and 2.9% in 2027. Higher interest rates, shortages of construction labor, and the rebuilding of damaged and destroyed homes lowered our residential construction forecast from December. Our expectation is for permitted new units to be 102K this year and grow to 127K by the end of 2027. Needless to say, this level of home building means that the prospect of the private sector building out of the housing affordability problem over the next three years is nil.”5
The unadjusted unemployment rate in the San José-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) was 4.2% in February 2025, down slightly from a revised 4.3% in January 2025, and below the February 2024 estimate of 4.3%. Between February 2024 and February 2025, employment in this region decreased by 5,300 jobs, or 0.5%. Notable employment reductions were in professional and business services (down 5,100 jobs), manufacturing (down 3,000 jobs), information (down 3,000 jobs), and leisure and hospitality (down 2,200 jobs). The largest increases were in private education and health services (up 8,900 jobs).

Financial Status Report as of February 28, 2025
General Fund Revenues
Sales Tax: The City of Santa Clara sales tax rate is 9.125%, of which the City receives 1.0%. As of February 28, 2025, $39.8 million has been collected, which is 32.5% higher than prior year collection levels. Given the timing of payments, the sales tax payments through February account for actual activity from July through December 2024. In addition, $0.4 million has been received for the Proposition 172 Public Safety Sales Tax, which is consistent with the prior fiscal year.
In the first quarter of FY 2024/25 (July – September activity) receipts totaled $19.2 million, which was well above the prior year receipts of $15.1 million for the first quarter of FY 2023/24. Receipts of $20.2 million in the second quarter of FY 2024/25 (October – December 2024 activity) also significantly exceeded the $14.5 million collected in the same quarter last fiscal year. The performance in the second quarter reflected strong growth in the business-to-business (up 54.2%), construction (up
14.3%), food products (up 7.0%), and transportation (up 4.9%) sectors, partially offset a reduction in general retail (down 4.7%). Given the strong performance to date, collections are tracking to significantly exceed the budget estimate of $62.0 million. It is important to note that sales tax receipts can vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
Property Tax: $48.8 million in property tax receipts were received through February 2025, or 51.7% of the budget. The majority of property tax revenue is collected in the second half of the fiscal year. Based on latest information from the County of Santa Clara, property tax receipts are projected to end the year at $96.6 million, slightly above the Adopted Budget estimate of $94.4 million.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): TOT is calculated as a percentage of City hotel/motel room charges. On January 1, 2025, the City’s TOT rate was increased from 12.5% to 13.5%. Through February 28, 2025, approximately $13.1 million was received, or 57.2% of the budget. This collection level was 17.9% above the $11.1 million received through February of the prior fiscal year. Receipts are currently tracking to exceed the budget estimate of $22.9 million.
Other Taxes: Includes franchise tax and documentary transfer tax. The City has collected approximately $3.3 million through February, including $2.6 million in franchise taxes and $0.7 million in documentary transfer taxes. This collection level is 3.9% higher than last fiscal year levels due to higher documentary transfer tax receipts.
Licenses & Permits: Includes business licenses, fire operation permits, and miscellaneous permits and fees. Revenue collections are tracking above par with receipts totaling $6.0 million, or 74.4% of the $8.1 million budget. This reflects strong growth in the majority of the categories with the largest collections in the business license tax category. Effective FY 2023/24, the City implemented a new business license tax methodology which is reflected in the receipts recorded this fiscal year totaling $4.4 million, or 73.7% of the budget.
Fines & Penalties: Includes vehicle, parking, court fines, and miscellaneous penalty fines. Through February, revenue in this category totaled $1.5 million which is slightly lower than prior year collection

Financial Status Report as of February 28, 2025
levels. The collections primarily reflect municipal fines and collection charges. Collections in this category have exceeded the annual budget of $1.5 million.
Intergovernmental: Includes motor vehicle fees, state homeowner tax relief, state mandated reimbursement, fire-related grants and reimbursements, and redistribution of land sale proceeds and ground leases from the Successor Agency. Through February, approximately $1.2 million has been collected, or 60% of the $2.0 million budget.
Charges for Services: Includes various plan check and zoning-related fees, engineering fees, administrative fees, and community service revenue from various recreational activities. Through February, collections totaled approximately $23 million or 73.8% of the budget. This reflects a 7.6% increase compared to last year’s collections, primarily due to higher receipts from engineering fees, miscellaneous fees and interdepartmental charges.
Silicon Valley Power Transfer: In accordance with the City’s charter, Silicon Valley Power pays 5.0% of gross revenues to the General Fund. Transfers throughout the year are based on the budgeted estimate and will be trued up at the end of the fiscal year based on actual performance.
Use of Money & Property: Includes realized investment income and rental income. Through February, $11.3 million has been collected, or 58.8% of the budget. This collection level is 17.6% above the $9.6 million received last fiscal year primarily due to higher right of way and interest earnings collected in the current year.
Miscellaneous Revenues: Includes developer fees, donations, damage recovery, sale of surplus, and one-time miscellaneous revenues. Through February, collections total $0.5 million, compared to $0.2 million collected in the prior year. Receipts have also exceeded the budget estimate of $0.2 million.
Stadium Operation: Through February 28, 2025, approximately $18 million has been collected through charges for services and rent. Of this amount, $7.3 million represents settlement funds related to performance-based rent from FY 2022/23 and FY 2023/24.

General Fund Expenditures
Below is an explanation of certain budget to actual expenditure variances by program.
Non-Departmental: Includes expenditures that are not attributable to a single department, but a function of the City in general. Through February, expenditures totaled $9.7 million, or 51.5% of the budget. These expenditures are below par of 66.7%, but higher than prior year levels. This increase is primarily due to higher spend in the salaries and benefits categories, miscellaneous services and supplies, and citywide insurance payments.
City Attorney: Actual expenditures through February totaled approximately $1.9 million, which is
55.6% of the budget, which is below par. Spending is consistent with the total expenditures through the same time last fiscal year.
City Clerk: Through February, actual expenditures were tracking at $1.7 million or approximately
77.8% of the budget. This expenditure level reflects a 66% increase compared to last fiscal year due to one-time Granicus costs that are paid every other year. Additionally, the costs for the general November 2024 election were incurred in February.
City Council: Through February, expenditures of $0.7 million were at 58.7% of budget, which is below par. Expenditures are slightly below spend when compared to prior fiscal year levels due to lower operating supplies and as-needed spend.
City Manager: The actual expenditures through February totaled $2.8 million, or 35% 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.
Community Development Department: This department consists of three divisions: Planning, Building, and Housing and Community Services. The Building Division of this department is reflected in the Building Development Services Fund, which falls under the special revenue section of this report.
Through February, departmental expenditures for the Planning and Housing and Community Services divisions totaled $3.1 million, or 55.7% of the budget, which is below par of 66.7%. This expenditure level is slightly lower than prior year spend primarily due to lower expenditures in the salaries and benefits categories.
Finance Department: Through February 28, 2025, the Department’s expenditures totaled $13.7 million, or 62.3% of the budget, which is slightly below par. This expenditure level was approximately 23% higher than through the same period last year. The current year spend reflects higher salaries and benefits, operating supplies, and contractual services costs, primarily related to PeopleSoft and the Questica Budget System.
Fire Department: Through February, actual expenditures totaled $45.9 million, or 67.2% of the budget, which is slightly above par. These expenditures also reflect a 5.8% increase from last fiscal year due to higher expenditures across the salaries and benefits and non-personnel categories including operating supplies, contractual services, and capital outlay. Overtime expenditures are tracking over budget at

Financial Status Report as of February 28, 2025
200% due, in part, to overtime expenditures related to mutual aid deployment efforts. These costs are reimbursable, and a budget action was approved by the City Council on December 3, 2024, to recognize reimbursements received to date and increase the Department’s overtime budget. Further actions will be brought forward for City Council approval to recognize reimbursements and adjust the Department overtime budget as additional reimbursements are received. Excluding mutual aid-related costs, the overtime budget is 117% expended through February. Overtime is used to backfill for shift absences and vacant shift positions to maintain daily minimum staffing. It is anticipated that overtime expenditures will exceed the overtime budget as the current absence rate exceeds the estimate used in the development of the budget.
Through February, absences are down 7% (from 53,772 to 58,119 hours) when compared with the prior fiscal year but remain above historical levels. Absences are trending high in the areas of injury, FMLA usage, sick leave, and vacation usage. It is important to note that employees can elect for compensatory time over overtime pay when backfilling shift absences, which increases the need to backfill when the compensatory time is used. Through February, the compensatory time payouts total $1.18 million, which is above historical levels but 31% below the payouts of $1.72 million experienced through February of last fiscal year. The Department will continue to monitor expenditures throughout the fiscal year, and any necessary budget adjustments will be brought forward for City Council consideration.
Library Department: Through February, actual expenditures totaled $7.8 million, or 64.3% of the budget, which is slightly below par, but 15.3% higher than expenditure levels last fiscal year. The higher spending is primarily in the salaries and benefits, contractual services, and maintenance categories.
Parks and Recreation Department: Through February, actual expenditures totaled $14.2 million, or
59.1% of the budget, which is below par, and consistent with last fiscal year spend.
Police Department: Expenditures through February are tracking at expected levels at $60.0 million, or
64.7% of the budget; this is approximately 7.2% higher than prior year spending. The higher spend is primarily in the salaries and benefits, contractual services, and IT subscription services categories.
Stadium Operation: Stadium operating expenditures are incurred first and billed on a reimbursement basis creating a timing difference in revenue recognition. Stadium expenditures totaled $6.9 million through February, which is 13.3% lower when compared to prior year levels. This is primarily due to fewer ticketed Non-NFL events and NFL games being held in the current year, resulting in lower as needed and overtime spend. The Stadium hosted four ticketed Non-NFL events and ten NFL games through February, and these costs are fully reimbursed by the Stadium Manager and the Stadium Authority. The Bay Area Host Committee also provides reimbursement for expenses incurred related to Super Bowl LX and FIFA World Cup 2026 planning costs. Expenditures are tracking at about 73% of the annual budget but are expected to level out for the remainder of the year.

Special Revenue Funds
The table below is a summary of revenues and expenditures of select Special Revenue Funds as of February 28, 2025. The amended budget reflects carryover encumbrances from fiscal year 2023/24 and budget amendments approved by the City Council through February 2025.
Revenues totaled approximately $17.5 million, while expenditures totaled approximately $15.5 million through the end of February. Both revenue and expenditures are tracking below par of 66.7%. In the Building Development Services Fee Fund and Fire Development Services Fee Fund, development- related fees and expenditures are tracking above prior year levels. In the City Affordable Housing Fund, the lower spend compared to the prior year is due to a loan disbursement that occurred in FY 2023/24.
Higher grant receipts and spend have been recorded in the Housing and Urban Development Fund, which reflects activity in CDBG and HOME grant funded projects.

REVENUE - FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 PRIOR YEAR REVENUE COMPARISON PRIOR YEAR EXPENSE COMPARISONEXPENSES - FISCAL YEAR 2024/25
While revenues are tracking higher than prior years, expenditures are consistent with prior year levels.
Revenue in the Electric Utility Fund is tracking above the prior year due primarily to bond proceeds of $130.6 million received in FY 2024/25. In the Sewer Utility Fund, revenue is tracking below the prior year due to the issuance of debt in FY 2023/24.
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. As the Water Recycling Fund is tracking high on both revenue and expenditure categories, staff will continue to monitor and bring forward a budget amendment for Council approval at later date if necessary.

SUMMARY OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

All securities held are rated A or higher by two nationally recognized rating agencies. There is adequate cash flow and maturity of investments to meet the City’s needs for the next six months.
The following table provides the breakdown of the total portfolio among the City, the Sports and Open Space Authority (SOSA), and the Housing Authority (HA) as of February 28, 2025.
On
February 28, 2025, the cost value and market value of the City's unrestricted pooled investment portfolio were $1,347,386,465 and $1,348,899,316
respectively.
Investment Strategy and Market Update
Tariffs on Mexico and Canada went into effect in early March with a one-month exemption for autos and any items covered under t
he United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement(“USMCA”). An additional 10% tariff was levied on China, and a25% tariff on steel and aluminum is set to take effect on March12. The market is also focusing on the potential for reciprocal tariffs to be announced i
n early April, which may be met by retaliatory tariffs.
The month-over-month change in the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures Index (PCE), whi ch is t he Fed’s preferred measure of
inflation, increased to its highest level since October on higher goods prices. Core PCE, which omits volatile food and energy prices, slowed to 2.6% year-over-year mainly on favorable base effects.
In February, nonfarm payrolls grew 151,000, slightly missing expectations, but continuing to show solid growth. The unemployment rate also missed expectations and rose to 4.1%. Initial jobless claims for fed eral w orkers will be a focus going forward as markets l
ook for the first signs of the potential impact of federal job cuts.
U.S. Treasury yields beyond one year declined notably over the latter half of the month on fears related to inflation and its impact on t
he consumer and growth. The yield on the 10-yearU.S. Treasury remains firmly above its two-year average while2-year yields have now moved below their two-year average. Yields on 2-year and 10-year Treasuries declined 20 basis points (bps) and 33 bps, respectively, underscoring uncertainty in the market surrounding geopolitical tensions, inflation expectations, and labor market conditions. This resulted in the yield curve inverting again in February as yields on 3-month,2-year, and 10-year U.S. Treasuries ended the month at 4.29%,3.99%, and 4.21%, respectively.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on the Appropriation of $102,849 in Asset Forfeiture Funds for FY 2024/25 and to Approve the Related Budget Amendment and Spending Plan
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
State and federal narcotics and other criminal convictions can result in the State or federal government seizing cash and property, such as vehicles or boats, that are sold by auction, resulting in receipt of sale proceeds. These proceeds are referred to as “asset forfeiture funds” and are used by the State and federal governments for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to, personnel training or safe destruction of hazardous materials (including controlled substances).
Recognizing that local public safety departments provide assistance to the State or federal enforcement agency in the investigation of the crimes resulting in asset forfeiture, the funds are shared with the local law enforcement agencies pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 11469, et seq., and various federal statutes (e.g., 28 U.S.C. 524, et seq. and 21 U.S.C. 881).
The Police Department submits a request annually to share in the distribution of funds seized pursuant to judicial and/or administrative actions. These funds may only be used for specific purposes.
Federal regulations do not allow agencies to budget anticipated Forfeiture Funds. Therefore, the City Council must allocate the use of Asset Forfeiture Funds after the money has been received, and prior to spending.
Previous years’ funding has been allocated for purchases to enhance the Police Department’s ability to apprehend criminal offenders, attend training and professional events, enhance employee safety, and address ways to better serve the Santa Clara community.
DISCUSSION
Asset Forfeiture Funds may only be issued for law enforcement-specific expenditures such as:
operations and investigations; training and education; facilities improvements; purchase of materials, supplies and equipment; vendor services that are necessary support for law enforcement such as translator services; awards and memorials; awareness campaigns (such as PSAs regarding drugs or gangs). There are a number of limitations on the use of the funds, including salaries, litigation-related purposes, creation of endowments or scholarships, or supplanting other funding sources for the Police Department. The uses set forth in this report are compliant with these requirements and limitations.

25-400 Agenda Date: 4/29/2025
In 2024, a total of 21 criminal cases were initiated by joint State-federal action and processed under federal law. The total value of the assets seized in such cases totals $842,924. A total of 91 suspects were charged with a controlled substance violation in connection with these cases, and there were 148 alleged offenses under State or federal law. The City has the opportunity to continue to enhance Police Department programs and services with its portion of the funding from these cases, totaling $102,849. This amount is recommended to be appropriated as part of this report.
As part of the FY 2023/24 Budgetary Year-End Report, as approved by the City Council on December 3, 2024, funds of $179,773 were recognized and appropriated in the Police Operating Grant Trust Fund. However, these funds were not yet allocated as part of a Council approved spend plan. The Police Department is utilizing this opportunity to present Council with a spend plan for both the Asset Forfeiture Funds received in FY 2024/25 and for funds received in FY 2023/24. The spending plan detailed below includes the previously appropriated funds not yet tied to a spend plan totaling $179,773 and the new allocation of funding of $102,849, for a combined total of $282,622. As necessary, updates to policies in connection with the new equipment and required training will be implemented accordingly. Allocations may require adjustments based on inflation and prioritization of programing, not to exceed total funds received.
None of the equipment being recommended for purchase would be categorized as “military equipment” per Assembly Bill 481.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Police Department is seeking Council approval to recognize and appropriate $102,849 in Asset Forfeiture Funding to support enforcement, other programs, and needs in the Police Department without using General Fund monies. The table below details the budget action for FY 2024/25.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on a Resolution to Authorize Business License Tax Adjustment for Annual Inflation Increase Effective July 1, 2025
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s Business License Tax was last updated through a voter-approved ballot measure on November 8, 2022 (Measure H). Prior to this, there had been no business tax adjustments for 30 years. The approved measure implemented a new tax structure effective July 1, 2023, with an annual inflation adjustment mechanism outlined in Section 3.40.160 of the Santa Clara City Code (City Code). This ensures that the business tax keeps pace with inflationary changes to support essential city services.
DISCUSSION
The Business License Tax is structured to provide equitable revenue contributions from businesses operating in Santa Clara while ensuring that tax burdens remain aligned with inflation. The 2022 voter -approved Measure H established a tax framework that allows for an annual inflation adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Area. As mandated by Section 3.40.160 of the City Code, these adjustments are subject to approval by the City Council and are capped at a maximum increase of 5% per year to prevent excessive financial impact on businesses.
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the February 2025 CPI report published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reflects an annual inflation rate of 2.7%. Accordingly, it is proposed that Business License Tax rates will be adjusted by 2.7%, resulting in the following changes:
· The current tax of $45 per employee will increase to $46.22 per employee. · The current tax of $15 per rental unit will increase to $15.40 per unit. · The annual cap of $350,000 per business will increase to $359,450 to reflect the 2.7% CPI adjustment.
The Business License Tax provides funding for public safety, infrastructure maintenance, economic development programs, and community services. By implementing this inflation-based increase, the City upholds its commitment to long-term fiscal sustainability without imposing sudden, large-scale tax hikes.
This annual CPI-based adjustment is critical to preventing the erosion of City revenue due to inflation while ensuring that businesses continue to contribute fairly to the cost of maintaining high-quality city City of Santa Clara Printed on 4/25/2025Page 1 of 3

services.
As contemplated by City Code Section 3.40.250, the Director of Finance Department is currently working on drafting rules and regulations to facilitate the implementation of the Business License Tax.
Topics addressed include operational and administrative details for staff to implement the Business License Tax Program, and provisions for providing notice to affected taxpayers. Once finalized, these rules will be brought back for Council consideration and approval.
Although a formal amendment to the City’s business license tax ordinance is not legally required, the City Attorney’s Office will work with Finance staff and the City Clerk to add a note within the City Code sections containing the original business license tax rates indicating that any new tax rate approved by the City Council for the applicable fiscal year will be posted on the City’s business license tax webpage.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to pursuant to section 15378 (b)(4) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations in that it is a fiscal action which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the estimated total business tax revenue of $6 million per year, the 2.7% CPI-based increase will result in an additional $162,000 in revenue for FY 2025-26.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
On April 2 and April 9, 2025, notices of the proposed increase were published in the Santa Clara Weekly in the manner set forth in Government Code Sections 6062a and 66018.
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting.

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High-Quality, Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
At the July 5, 2022 City Council meeting, Staff presented recommendations to adopt two resolutions for the placement of a Utility Transfer Charter Amendment and a Business License Tax Modernization Measure on the November 2022 ballot. (See Attachment 1, RTC 22-891). These recommendations were based on the extensive outreach and engagement process with multiple and diverse stakeholder groups that has occurred since the beginning of the year.
Following the staff presentation, public comments and Council discussion, the City Council unanimously approved the placement of the Utility Transfer Charter Amendment, but continued action related to the Business License Tax Modernization Measure to July 12, 2022 and asked staff to facilitate an ad hoc working group comprised of Councilmembers Chahal, Hardy and Park to further engage with the Silicon Valley Central Chamber and any other stakeholders, regarding comments received on the proposed measure at the July 5, 2022 meeting.
In accordance with Council’s direction, a meeting comprised of diverse stakeholders representing the Chamber, large businesses in Santa Clara, City Boards & Commissions and the general public was scheduled for Friday, July 9.
Given the limited time between meetings, it was agreed that a transmittal report would be included in the Council agenda packet with recommendations presented as supplemental material.
This report will serve as the transmittal report.
DISCUSSION
While a supplemental report based on the efforts of the working group will be provided, it should be noted that the continuance of the item requires a resetting of the timelines for submission of the resolution, arguments, rebuttals and impartial analysis to the City Clerk.
In accordance with Elections Code Section 9285(a) the City Clerk as the local Elections Official has set the following deadlines: adoption of the ballot resolution on July 12, 2022; arguments due by 5:00 p.m. to the City Clerk’s office on July 26, 2022; rebuttals due by 5:00 p.m. to the City Clerk’s office on August 5, 2022. The City Attorney shall draft an impartial analysis on the measure, which is also due on Friday, August 5, 2022. The deadline to submit the Resolution to the County Registrar of Voters (ROV) is 5:00 p.m. on August 12th; the deadline to submit Arguments to the ROV is 5:00 p.m. on August 16 and the deadline to submit Rebuttals and Impartial Analysis to the ROV is 5:00 p.m. on August 23, 2022.
It should also be noted that the recommendation to delete the definition of “fiscal year” in the resolution and attached ordinance presented at the July 5, 2022 Council meeting has been incorporated in the revised proposed resolution, Attachment 3, and will be incorporated into the supplemental report and any other subsequently proposed resolutions.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organization or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Additional ongoing revenues of approximately $8 million is projected from a successful passage of the proposed Business License Tax Ballot Measure, effective January 1, 2024. The actual amounts will be dependent on the actual proposal, if any, that is brought forward, and whether the measure is successful at the November 2022 ballot.
The FY2022/23 Adopted Budget includes $350,000 to cover election costs and existing funding to conduct basic education and voter outreach. Actual costs will be determined by the County Registrar of Voters based on the number of ballots and the actual printing costs allocated to the City of Santa Clara.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on the Award of Purchase Orders to GE Grid Solutions, LLC for Purchase of Additional Equipment and Services for Silicon Valley Power’s GE JungleMux System
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
On July 11, 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager to issue purchase orders to GE Grid Solutions, LLC (GE) for the purchase of equipment, hardware, and software services for Silicon Valley Power’s GE JungleMux system with a total aggregate maximum amount for these purchases not to exceed $2,000,000 through June 30, 2028 (Attachment 1).
The purchase was approved on a sole source basis under Section 2.105.280(b)(2) of the City Code which states: “When required to ensure operation or function to match other products with respect to the repair, expansion or completion of a system, existing structure or program currently in use by the City, including, but not limited to, utility and technology purchases required to achieve interoperability with existing systems or programs.”
Silicon Valley Power (SVP) has been using the JungleMux communications multiplexer (JMUX) system manufactured by GE Grid Solutions, LLC (GE) for over 20 years. The JMUX system is a critical infrastructure system installed at SVP’s 32 substations. It supports the transmission of data to SVP’s control center from various applications, including electrical protection systems, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, video surveillance systems, and metering systems.
Due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and software components, continued maintenance and system compatibility require purchases to be made directly from GE.
DISCUSSION
Since the City Council’s authorization in 2023, GE has announced that the JMUX system will be discontinued, with a last time to buy date of June 30, 2025. GE will offer limited technical support and repair services for up to seven years, through June 30, 2032.
In anticipation of this, SVP staff has procured critical spare components at a significant discount to support ongoing operations and maintenance. These purchases, totaling approximately $1.4 million, were made under the City Council’s previously authorized amount of $2,000,000. In addition, SVP has made other purchases such as equipment for new substations of approximately $400,000, leaving a remaining authorization of approximately $200,000 through June 30, 2028.
SVP currently has 36 operating JMUX nodes at 32 different substations and is constructing or City of Santa Clara Printed on 4/25/2025Page 1 of 3

25-76 Agenda Date: 4/29/2025
modifying 15 JMUX nodes to meet projected electric load growth, primarily driven by the construction of new data centers and larger developments.
Going forward, additional funding is required to procure JMUX hardware and software from GE to support upcoming substation projects. Staff recommend the City Council authorize the City Manager to issue Purchase Orders to GE for an aggregate amount not to exceed $5 million (an increase of $3,000,000) through June 30, 2032. This increase is required to support upcoming substation projects and accounts for potential price increases due to current tariffs on imported goods.
Purchases will be governed by GE’s Terms and Conditions for Sale of Products and Services attached to this report. Prior to issuing each purchase order, staff will identify project-specific JMUX system needs and request a quote from GE. SVP staff will ensure pricing is fair and reasonable by comparing the quote to recent purchases. GE already provides a discount to SVP as a long-term customer.
When the purchase of equipment is part of commissioning a new substation, costs will be recovered from the requesting customer pursuant to a deposit or substation agreement.
Staff has been working on a long-term replacement for the JMUX system. Staff is developing an RFP that will include a pilot program to identify potential solutions that can be implemented in a phased approach in order to have minimal effect on SVP’s electrical system. Staff anticipates releasing the RFP in Q3 of 2025.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed action will have a significant effect on the environment given that it solely authorizes the purchase of additional software and hardware for existing infrastructure.
FISCAL IMPACT
Where purchase of the equipment is part of commissioning of a new substation, funding will be recovered from the requesting customer pursuant to a deposit agreement or substation agreement and included in the associated Capital Improvement Program Budget for that customer’s project.
Equipment replacements associated with maintaining or expanding the system are included in SVP’s FY 2024/25 Operating or Capital Improvement Program Budget. Funding for future years will be included in the applicable budget process.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Amendment No. 1 to the Agreements with Advanced Lighting Services, Inc. and American Power Solutions, Inc. for Citywide LED Lighting Retrofit and Replacement for City Facilities and As- Needed Services
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
On July 16, 2024, following a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute agreements with Advanced Lighting Services, Inc. (ALS) and American Power Solutions, Inc. (APS) (Attachment 1) to retrofit or replace lighting fixtures from fluorescent lamps to light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs in order to comply with California Assembly Bill 2208 (AB 2208). AB 2208, signed into law in September 2022, prohibits the sale of fluorescent bulbs in California effective January 2024.
As noted in the July 2024 staff report, the project is being implemented based on available funding in the budget, with initial work prioritized in the City’s largest facilities, including City Hall, the Police Department, libraries, the Senior Center, and the Community Recreation Center. To date, lighting upgrades have been completed in approximately 40 buildings. Many of these buildings were approved for financing through the Silicon Valley Power (SVP) loan program, which ended on December 31, 2024, as well as rebates from SVP. SVP issues loans for the lighting upgrades and anticipates payback through energy savings generated by the new LED lighting. Leveraging the SVP loan program allowed the City to complete more facilities than originally planned.
The purpose of this report is to obtain City Council approval to increase the maximum compensation of the agreements with ALS and APS in order to complete lighting retrofits and replacements in approximately 30 additional buildings.
DISCUSSION
To complete the retrofit and replacement work in the remaining buildings, an amendment to the agreements with ALS and APS is necessary. Staff recommends increasing the maximum compensation amount by $441,046, for a revised not-to-exceed aggregate compensation amount of $941,046 across both agreements.
Under the amended agreements, ALS and APS will continue to provide citywide LED retrofit and replacement services on a per-building request basis. For each building, both contractors will conduct an assessment which will include a count of the fixtures to be retrofitted or replaced, along with a proposal to perform the work. Proposals will be based on the hourly rates and unit pricing established City of Santa Clara Printed on 4/25/2025Page 1 of 3

25-301 Agenda Date: 4/29/2025
in the agreements. The contractor offering the lowest total cost and most advantageous project timeline will be awarded the work for that specific building.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Amendment No. 1 increases the aggregate maximum compensation not-to-exceed amount by $441,046 for a revised aggregate maximum compensation not-to-exceed amount of $941,046. In the Adopted FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program Budget, $500,000 is budgeted in the City Buildings - Upgrade Lighting to LED Project in FY 2024/25. In addition, $403,062 of the LED retrofit and replacement project costs are being funded through SVP loans and rebates (this number was able to be determined after the Project began). The loans and rebates portions will be funded directly from the Electric Operating Grant Trust Fund - Public Benefits Program. The energy savings earned in future years will pay back the SVP loans.
In order to complete the lighting retrofits and replacements discussed in this memorandum, additional funding of $37,984 from the Capital Projects Reserve is requested in FY 2024/25. Costs beyond FY 2024/25 are subject to appropriation of funds by the City Council.
The budget amendment below allocates funding from the General Fund Capital Projects Reserve to the Public Buildings Capital Fund for the Upgrade Lighting to LED Project as recommended in this memorandum.
