The Sports and Open Space Authority of the City of Santa Clara (Authority) was created by the City Council in 1974 to establish a separate entity to acquire and develop open space within the City of Santa Clara. The validity of the Authority and its legal existence was established in 1975 by final judgment of the Santa Clara County Superior Court. The Santa Clara Golf and Tennis Club (SCGTC) was developed by the Authority on City-owned land and operated under a management agreement with a private company and a private restaurant facility at the Golf and Tennis Club leased to a private operator. In 1997/98, the City Council set aside approximately 40 acres of the former golf course site to be preserved and maintained as open space, and, in calendar year 1999, the Authority approved the sale of 4.3 acres of the former golf course property to the City’s Redevelopment Agency to be disposed of as a site for development of affordable housing.

The Authority terminated operations of SCGTC in late calendar year 2019 and the land will be redeveloped into a mixeduse commercial/residential project. There is minimal funding budgeted in Fiscal Year 2025/26 and Fiscal Year 2026/27 for the Open Space Authority.

Proposed Biennial
Operating Budget
Budget-in-Brief
To Our Santa Clara Residents:

The Proposed Biennial Operating Budget for fiscal years (FY) 2025/26 and 2026/27 is presented for consideration and
continues our two-year budgeting process that alternates between the operating and capital budgets. This year’s budget focuses on our day-to-day operations that support vital City services, and important amendments to the second year of the biennial capital budget that you approved last year.

As part of the budget deliberation process, two City Council study sessions are scheduled for May 13, 2025, and May 27, 2025, before the public hearing and planned budget adoption on June 10, 2025. The City Council approved amendments to the City’s Municipal Fee Schedule on April 29, 2025. The effective date of those fee changes aligns with the July 1, 2025 start date for the Proposed Biennial Operating Budget.

For FY 2025/26, the Proposed Operating Budget totals $1.2 billion. The enterprise funds that are used to manage the City’s utilities (Silicon Valley Power, water, sewer, and solid waste) represent the largest share of the budget at 57.9%. The General Fund budget totals $333.6 million, or 19.5% of the budget, and is used to fund many direct services, such as police and fire public safety services, libraries, parks, community centers, and streets maintenance.

The City’s financial position has improved since the adoption of the last biennial operating budget. When looking at projected revenue and expenses, the Ten-Year General Fund Forecast is positive by $9.3 million in FY 2025/26 and projects a deficit of $0.1 million in FY 2026/27. Small deficits and surpluses are projected for the remaining years of the forecast; however, the forecast does not include the capacity to fully restore prior cuts, add capacity to support new service areas and growth in the City, and to fully fund capital infrastructure maintenance and replacement.

This improved financial picture provides for targeted
investments that fund many of the City Council’s identified priorities as well as enhance the City’s operating reserves, restoring the Budget Stabilization Reserve (BSR) to the Council policy level of 25% of expenditures. The budget includes enhancements to key City services and funding for the implementation of Measure I – General Obligation (GO) Bond approved by the voters in November 2024.

Reliable Infrastructure and General Obligation Bond Projects General Fund Budget Balancing Strategy
Each year, staff updates the General Fund Ten-Year Forecast that is used as the starting point in the development of the General Fund budget. The April 2025 Forecast showed a projected General Fund surplus of $9.3 million in FY 2025/26, followed by a small shortfall in FY 2026/27 of -$0.1 million. This was an improvement from the Forecast developed in April 2024 due to higher revenue projections.

The budget balancing strategy for FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 includes targeted investments and contributions to the Budget Stabilization Reserve (BSR). • Revenue Solutions – recognize excess FY 2024/25 fund balance as a result of higher revenue collections in the Sales Tax category and Stadium performance rent; and increase reimbursement revenue in FY 2026/27 related to utility-supported positions • Expenditure Adjustments – limited proposals to address items identified as part of the City Council Priority Setting sessions; addition of staffing resources to support the management and project delivery of the GO Bond implementation.
• Use of Reserves – set aside $6.5 million to address the anticipated shortall in FY 2026/27; allocate funding to the Budget Stabilization Reserve to bring reserve levels to 25% of expenditures.

The proposed balancing strategy addresses City Council priorities and other high priorities as identified by City Departments, while maintaining the City’s fiscal stability.

FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/13/2025 Budget Study Session

1. For the potential expansion of the City’s fiber network, how will the fiber be used within the City?
Response: The City plans to hire a consultant with expertise in broadband networks to study deficiencies in internet options available to residents and businesses. The objective of the study is to recommend options to ensure that 100% of the City have reliable broadband access. At present, the City of Santa Clara (through Silicon Valley Power) installs and provides dark fiber connections to businesses. Potential solutions may include expanding the City’s fiber program, establishing partnerships with private industry, and/or establishing a municipal broadband service. Staff does not have a desired solution, instead, we intend to seek options and recommendations from outside experts that will benefit Santa Clara’s residents and businesses.

2. Why does the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue estimate increase approximately 20% from FY 2024/25 to 2025/26? Does this factor in growth associated with the major events scheduled for 2026?
Response: In FY 2024/25, the TOT revenue estimate was set at $22.9 million in the Adopted Budget. However, receipts are tracking to exceed this level with a year-end estimate over $25 million. Starting from this higher year-end estimate, collections in FY 2025/26 are projected to increase to $27.5 million. This reflects growth of approximately 9% from the FY 2024/25 revised estimate and 20% from the FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget. The FY 2025/26 estimate factors in the annualization of the TOT rate increase from 12.5% to 13.5% in January 2025 as well as continued growth in this category. The major events in 2026 are expected to contribute to this growth.

3. For the library materials restoration, how much is funded and is there a balance that remains unfunded?
Response: There was an unfunded need of $290,000 annually to restore library materials funding.

The Proposed Budget includes one-time funding of $145,000 in FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27, leaving an unfunded balance of $145,000 each year. Restored funds will be used to support digital (60%) and non-digital (40%) materials, with a focus on items for children. With the restoration of Sunday hours, there is also more circulation of materials. Programming and the availability of materials go hand-in-hand in the comprehensive approach to library services.

4. Do the additions in the Building Division take into account the internal audit of the Building Permitting Process?
Response: Yes, these position additions take into account the audit of Building Permitting Process.

Additionally, an internal organizational review is being performed for City departments. Based on the results of this review, additional positions may be brought forward for City Council consideration to address recommendations from both the internal audit and organizational review. The results of the internal audit performed by Baker-Tilly are expected to be brought forward to the Audit Committee in June.

5. Why is the Tasman/Lafayette Walkway Feasibility Study funded by the City’s General Fund rather than the Stadium Authority?
Response: The initial feasibility study for a walkway/stairway from Tasman to Lafayette with an under bridge carve-out for rideshare is funded by the General Fund in the amount of $200,000; however, the City will seek additional funds from the Stadium Authority and private developments within the vicinity of the project, as well as Federal and State grant funds to support schematic 1 Attachment 5
FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/13/2025 Budget Study Session design, construction plans, and construction costs. While the area is used heavily during events at Levi’s Stadium, there is a desire to enhance conditions at this location due to daily usage of the atgrade crossing for the Great America Amtrak Station near Levi’s Stadium.

This study will analyze the situation, develop options, and prepare a cost estimate as well as incorporate a review of ADA requirements, right-of-way restrictions, and vehicle/pedestrian safety.

As noted above, given that the potential walkway would provide a benefit to the community for general use as well as during special events, a combination of funding would be pursued for the project, including funding from the Stadium Authority, developer contributions, and grants in addition to the City’s General Fund.

6. Can staff provide a report on the utilization of the SV Hopper program? Response: The Department of Public Works is currently working with VIA and the City of Cupertino to finalize a report regarding the SV Hopper Program. Once that report is complete, it will be distributed to the Council in the next couple of months.

7. For the increase in the general liability insurance associated with major events in 2026, why is this funded by the City rather than the Stadium Authority? Response: First, it is important to note that the figures listed in the proposed Special Liability Fund budget for insurance premiums are preliminary and represent the midpoint of the estimates received. The appropriate policy limits and self-insured retention are still under discussion with the City’s long-time insurance broker, Alliant, and the policies have not yet been decided.

For context, the City did not see any significant spike in claims arising from the Super Bowl 50 event, and we will take this into consideration when arriving at the final determination regarding coverage. Additionally, this is a potential change to the City’s insurance coverage only, and would not extend to any private entity. Second, the Stadium Authority’s standard non-NFL event insurance coverage limits will be purchased for the fiscal year and will be paid for through the Stadium Authority budget. The cost of specialty coverages (such as terrorism or active shooter coverage, or increased coverage as may be required by FIFA, above and beyond the standard SCSA coverage) for FIFA World Cup 2026 events will be borne by Bay Area Host Committee under the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Third, the potential risk identified by Alliant for the City arises from an anticipated increase in visitors to all parts of the City due to special City events around Super Bowl LX and FIFA World Cup, visitors travelling to the City for these major events and exploring the entirety of the City in the process, as well as a general regional increase in interest in visiting Santa Clara due to the media coverage of the City. From a risk perspective, that increase in visitors translates to the potential for increased claims of various types. Such claims would be against the City, rather than any other entity, and would be addressed by the City’s insurance coverage. Lastly, these issues were also discussed in the context of coverage for FY 2015/16 when the City hosted Super Bowl 50. The City decided that for the fiscal year, the self-insured retention would be decreased from $5M to $3M and the coverage policy limits for the City would be increased from $20 million to $65 million (the limits were decreased to $50 million in the years following). The corresponding increase in the premiums was a City expense, not charged to the Stadium Authority.

The proposal for the current budget follows this model. 2 Attachment 5
FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/13/2025 Budget Study Session

8. Are the latest cost estimates provided by Silicon Valley Regional Interoperability Authority (SVRIA) incorporated into the budget?
Response: The FY 2025/26 budget reflects the estimate provided by SVRIA in late February 2025.

As the February estimate is slightly higher ($14,000) than Santa Clara’s allocation adopted in March 2025, there is sufficient budget to cover the SVRIA costs for FY 2025/26.

9. Are the latest cost estimates for the Water Treatment Plant incorporated into the budget? Response: No, the latest cost estimates were received after the development of the proposed budget. The operations and maintenance costs are $0.3 million higher than the current proposed budget, while the construction estimate is $5.8 million lower than the current proposed budget.

Overall, the five-year CIP total for the Regional Wastewater Facility is largely unchanged.

As part of the adoption of the FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 biennial operating budget on June 10th, staff will bring forward these adjustments to the operating and capital improvement program budget in the Sewer Utility funds to reflect these updated costs for the Regional Wastewater Facility.

10. For the major events in 2026, how are these being supported by staff? Are there additional positions recommended to address the workload?
Response: The major events are supported by existing staff, as needed staff, the use of overtime, and staff from outside agencies (e.g., Police officers from other jurisdictions). There are no new positions added for support for the Super Bowl and FIFA.

11. For the unfunded City Council Priorities, when will these be revisited? Were any previously identified priorities removed from the list?
Response: Staff is currently working on developing reports for City Council consideration related to some of the unfunded priorities including but not limited to: RV Parking, Vision Zero, parking, etc.

Those reports will be presented to the City Council as they are completed. In fall 2025, staff will return with a biannual update on the Council Priority Initiatives with a summary of progress on each item. In addition, staff is working to develop a public dashboard to efficiently provide updates on the progress of Priority Initiatives.

The 2024 Council priorities, which were summarized in the 2024 City Council Priorities Summary Report, have been categorized as follows:

1. Priority Initiatives (Underway/New). During the May 13th Budget Study Session, the presentation slides highlighted several priority initiatives that are currently underway and ones that require additional funding. These are items staff will continue to work on.

For the priority items requiring additional funding, staff will be bringing forward some of the items during the next fiscal year. In addition, items will be revisited as needed as part of the biannual updates and the annual budget process.

2. Completed: Items identified as complete in the 2024 Council Priorities Summary Report were removed from the tracking list. These include the following:
• Pursue a Bond Measure for Infrastructure Investment
• Hire an Economic Development Director
3 Attachment 5
FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/13/2025 Budget Study Session • Restore Funding for Police Park Patrols
• Request for Speaking at Events
• Expand Councilmember District Communication Options
• Pursue an Admission Tax on Ticketed Entertainment Events

3. Baseline /Ongoing: The items which are baseline for City staff will no longer be tracked on the future dashboard for the Council Priorities. These include the following:
• Write better City Contracts without ambiguity to protect City Rights • Manage Pension Liability and Salaries
• Understand the realities of Grants and/or Low-cost Loans for Infrastructure • Create and Fund a Grant Writer position focused on Federal Grant Opportunities • Support Resident Youth Groups and Programs, Senior Programs, and Community Activities and Placing the needs of the Community first • Implement more Community Benefits that Celebrate the City’s diversity and culture (dog parks, cricket fields, and placemaking)
• Identify Areas where the City can Reduce Spending
• Use of Technology to Solve Traffic Issues / Intelligent Lights

12. For the General Obligation Bond projects, how can changes to the expenditure plan be brought forward for consideration based on needs?
Response: The expenditure plan for bond proceeds was adopted by the City Council on July 16, 2024. Ordinance No. 2069, Section 13(b)(ii) outlines the process to amend the expenditure plan:
“City staff shall review, analyze and make a recommendation on any proposed substantive amendment to the Expenditure Plan (“Amendment”). Prior to City Council consideration, any such proposed Amendment shall first be submitted to the Bond Compliance COC for their review and recommendation. Any proposed Amendment shall require the unanimous approval of the City Council.”

13. With the number of City Council priorities, does the City administration have the capacity to address all of these priorities?
Response: The City administration will continue to balance the City Council priorities with the other day-to-day operations. The work on the Council priorities can impact the ability to make progress in other areas given staff capacity. As we move forward, it will be important to manage the total number of Council priorities that are being pursued at a given time to ensure those priorities can be successfully implemented while we continue to deliver a high level of service to the community.

14. For the capital infrastructure funding, the $10 million ongoing amount built into the Ten-Year General Fund Forecast seems low. What would be a realistic amount to budget to address the needs? Should the City’s budget policy regarding the Capital Projects Reserve be revised with a new goal rather than the minimum balance of $5 million? Response: The $10 million built into the General Fund Forecast over the ten-year period was a first step in setting aside funding for ongoing infrastructure maintenance but does not address all of the funding needs. The Fiscal Sustainability Project that is proposed to be funded in the Proposed Budget will evaluate the ongoing needs as well as potential funding strategies for the City’s infrastructure. The results of this Plan may also inform an update to the City’s Budget and Fiscal Policies that currently sets the General Fund Capital Project Reserve at a minimum of $5 million. 4 Attachment 5
FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/13/2025 Budget Study Session Council may direct staff to bring forward a revision to the policy that would be approved by the City Council. Staff recommends that this be done in concert with the Fiscal Sustainability Project.

15. What labor costs are assumed in the Ten-Year Forecast? Response: The General Fund Ten-Year Forecast builds in the labor cost assumptions for all salary and benefit categories. For instance, salary costs are based on negotiated labor agreements and/or assumed growth, retirement costs are based on information from CalPERS and the City’s actuary, health costs are based on projected increases to premiums and negotiated labor agreements regarding the City’s contributions for specific plans, other post employment benefits (OPEB) are based on information from the City’s actuary, and social security and Medicare costs are based on required contributions. There are several labor costs tied to specific bargaining units such as Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) pay for sworn police staff, education incentive pay for firefighters, holiday pay for police and fire positions, specific equipment and uniform allowances, car allowance, bilingual pay, City-paid deferred compensation, Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) contributions, City-paid vision, employee assistance program, and dental.

The labor cost assumptions are applied to the individual positions. In developing the labor costs, staff downloads employee-specific data each year, such as the salary/salary step data and the benefit selections (e.g., health election).

16. How is the City managing the unfunded pension liability? Response: The City contributes funds to a Pension Stabilization Reserve (Trust). The current budget policy is to fund 1% of the value of the City’s unfunded liability annually. These funds are added as part of the year-end budgetary report in December each year. While the City’s CalPERS plans are currently funded below the state average, the City’s Trust has a balance of $49 million that brings the plans closer to the average. This amount raises the funding ratio (actuarial asset value as of June 2023) from 61.9% to 64.5%, compared to the State average of 70%. The Council could decide by policy to fund additional amounts; however, given resource constraints, staff would recommend that a policy decision be brought forward after the Fiscal Sustainability Plan project.

Pre-funding options have been evaluated by staff and are not recommended at this time due to additional risk this strategy could provide to the plan. The City’s ability for plan design changes would require further analysis and staff will include this scope as part of the Fiscal Sustainability Plan project.

17. What are the separate budgets and position counts for the Police and Fire Departments? Response: In FY 2025/26, the Fire Department budget totals $81,298,549, or 4.5% of the total City budget, with 175.50 positions (14.6% of total budgeted positions). The amount for the Fire Department represents 21.1% of the General Fund.

In FY 2025/26, the Police Department budget totals $100,425,435, or 5.6% of the total City budget, with 231.00 positions (19.3% of total budgeted positions). The amount for the Police Department represents 29.8% of the General Fund.

18. Are there sufficient Information Technology staff to address the workload, including changing needs such as AI, and what would the two new positions (one in FY 2024/25 and one proposed for FY 2025/26) be assigned?
5 Attachment 5
FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/13/2025 Budget Study Session Response: The current IT staffing model combines a limited number of city staff with a contracted service provider, Unisys. This contract is recommended to be extended through December 31, 2025 (as a separate item on the May 27th Council agenda), while a longer extension is being negotiated through the closeout of the 2026 special events. At the same time, an IT review will be conducted to determine the long-term strategy for the delivery of these services. In an effort to improve efficiencies, streamline processes, and enhance the end user experience, two new Senior IT Services Manager positions have been added, one in last year’s budget and one proposed to be added for FY 2025/26 to focus on departmental applications and projects, including the use of AI in the workplace.

19. Are the park in-lieu fees sufficient to purchase park land? How are the needs for new park space and improved park space being balanced?
Response: By internal policy, approximately 25% of the park in-lieu fees are allocated to the Parkland Acquisition Project in the Parks and Recreation Capital Fund, which has a current estimated balance of $11.5 million. The current fair market value for an average acre of land ranges from $5.25 million (North Santa Clara) to $5.65 million (West Santa Clara). Most of the property for sale throughout Santa Clara (including North Santa Clara) has a facility/building asset that will also factor into the land/property value. An estimated 3-5 acres is required to develop a neighborhood/ community park with adequate amenities such as off-street parking, restrooms, open space, playground(s), picnic tables, walking paths, and optional sport courts (tennis, basketball, pickleball).

The Parks and Recreation Department will be issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) within the next fiscal year for a vendor to assist with the identification and potential purchase of parkland.

Additionally, the Parks Master Plan will be finalized within the calendar year and assist City Council and staff in prioritizing and balancing the approach to parkland acquisition and improving existing parkland, including the 32 acres located in North Santa Clara within the Related Project.

20. How much does the City spend supporting the unhoused? How are we addressing the service needs?
Response: Between FY 2022/23 through the current fiscal year, the Housing Division has spent an annual average of approximately $0.9 million on services for the unhoused and homelessness prevention (e.g., partnering with the County of Santa Clara for intensive case management, tenantbased rental assistance, and mobile shower and laundry services). These amounts reflect spending in the various Housing special revenue funds (Housing Authority, City Affordable Housing, Housing Successor Agency, and Housing and Urban Development). Funding for these services is incorporated into the ongoing budget in the Housing Division. Not included in the $0.9 million are funds spent by other departments (Police, Code Enforcement, etc.) to address quality of life issues and complaints related to the unsheltered population.

Additionally, the City received a $1.8 million grant from the State of California for the Santa Clara Overnight Care Locations pilot program. Staff proposes to use this grant funding to support initial investments in an emergency and inclement weather shelter program for unhoused residents and to conduct mobile outreach and case management citywide for a two-year period. This project will come back to City Council for approval by early summer 2025.

The City is planning a City Council Study Session on July 8th for a discussion on a citywide plan to reduce homelessness and its impacts, which includes additional future services to support the unhoused.

FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/13/2025 Budget Study Session

21. Are there ongoing positions funded with one-time funds? How will those costs be addressed moving forward?
Response: The budget includes 7.35 positions that are recommended to be funded by the General Fund on an ongoing basis. These include 1.0 Management Analyst to help manage the Homelessness Response Plan; 1.0 Staff Analyst for Housing Element implementation support; two positions (1.0 Accountant, 1.0 Management Analyst) to support a revision of the City’s practice to charge public works staff directly to projects; 1.0 Recreation Manager to support Parks and Recreation capital projects and programs; 1.0 Management Analyst to support sustainability / Climate Action Plan; unfreezing 1.0 Legal Office Specialist; and 0.35 portions of positions in Finance and Fire. These positions were identified as the highest needs to deliver current City Council priorities and support operations in key areas. While the FY25/26 and FY26/27 costs are funded with one-time resources, the ongoing cost (if approved) will be included in the 10-year forecast and will be factored into the solutions needed through the Fiscal Sustainability Plan project.

22. Are there additional surplus funds in the General Fund projected for FY 2024/25? Response: Yes, the General Fund is tracking to end FY 2024/25 with a surplus. Several General Fund revenues are tracking to exceed the budgeted estimates and expenditures are also expected to end the year below budget. In the FY 2025/26 Proposed Budget, $13.7 million of the anticipated surplus was factored into the budget balancing, including revenue from the Stadium Authority as well as higher projected Sales Tax to restore the Budget Stabilization Reserve to 25%. Additional surplus funds are expected to be generated above these amounts and will be reconciled as part of the FY 2024/25 Year-End Budgetary Report that will be brought forward to the City Council in December 2025. The goal is to end each fiscal year with a positive balance with targeted excess revenues of 2% and expenditure savings of 2%. These surplus funds have historically been the source of funding to support the City’s infrastructure needs, contributions to the Pension Trust Reserve and the Budget Balancing Reserve, and to address other needs that arise after the adoption of the budget.

23. What is the overall increase in salaries and benefits in the Proposed Budget? Response: The overall increase in salaries and benefits between FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 is $39.5 million or 11.4%. This increase reflects adjustments to salaries, including as-needed staff, totaling $12.6 million (31.8%), and overtime, totaling $7.3 million (18.2%). The majority of the overtime increase ($5.3 million) is associated with special events at the Stadium that will be reimbursed. In addition, $11.3 million, or 29%, of the changes are due to increases in retirement costs, health allocations, and other benefits.

The remaining amount of $8.3 million, or 21%, reflects the increase in budgeted positions between the two fiscal years, including changes approved by the City Council during FY 2024/25 (18.25 positions) and proposed changes recommended as part of the FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 operating budget (21.00 positions).

24. How much funding is budgeted for a City Charter amendment and why is that incorporated now?
Response: The Proposed Budget includes additional $100,000 for elections in the City Clerk’s Budget in FY 2026/27 for a potential City Charter amendment. These funds are budgeted in the General Fund. The 2025 Governance and Ethics Committee Workplan approved on May 1, 2025, 7 Attachment 5
FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/13/2025 Budget Study Session includes a Comprehensive City Charter Update proposal to make corrections and update the City Charter to be consistent with current, best practices for City operations. This proposal is expected to be brought forward to Council within the next 30 to 45 days for Council consideration and direction. The Proposed Budget provides funding to bring forward a measure in FY 2026/27 based on the outcome of this work. These funds would be returned to the General Fund if a Charter Amendment does not move forward.

25. How much funding is set aside for major events? A dashboard with expenses and reimbursements would be helpful to inform the Council and the public.

Response: The FY 2025/26 proposed budget includes $11.4 million for personnel and nonpersonnel costs (e.g., equipment, training) associated with Super Bowl LX and FIFA World Cup 2026 events, while the FY 2026/27 proposed budget includes $1.2 million for salary costs associated with the FIFA World Cup events. All of these costs are budgeted to be reimbursed.

Information will be provided through an online dashboard reflecting cost estimates and reimbursement status on a quarterly basis for each major event.

26. Will the time spent on major events displace normal City service delivery? How much of our City services are being impacted?
Response: The time spent on major events is expected to have minimal impact on normal City service delivery. Most of the other labor-related resources are provided through overtime, asneeded staff, and other partner-agencies. These categories add capacity to support the special events beyond the base level of service provided by existing staff.

As shown in the table below, City salary costs represent a small portion of the total labor-related costs associated with the special events, primarily in the Police and Fire Departments. The Police staff are assigned to Special Events Division as part of their normal staff assignments.

Following the May 13, 2025 City Council meeting, staff received one additional question from a City Council member on the proposed budget. That question and the staff response are below.

27. In the budget briefing, there was a slide showing public safety costs as a percentage of the total $1.6B budget in a pie chart. Could we also get a pie chart of public safety costs as a percentage of the general fund budget expenses (not counting reimbursable costs from Levi’s stadium) events?

Responses to Questions from the 5/27/2025 Budget Study Session

1. Without adding new positions, how can the City support the major special events without impact existing City services?
Response: The impact of special events is expected to be minimal. While the proposed budget does not add funding for new positions to support the major special events, it does add more resources in the form of as-needed staff, overtime, and funding for staffing from other agencies (police staffing). Higher overtime funding will allow for staff to continue to deliver on their day-to-day operations during their regular scheduled time, and, as necessary, overtime will enable staff to address special event-related work. Higher as-needed funding will allow for additional staff to be hired on a limited-term basis to address special event-related work. Staffing from other agencies will augment our Police sworn personnel to staff the events. Additionally, the City Manager’s Office is looking to add temporary staffing to advance City Council priorities, organizational improvements, and community engagement in 2025 and 2026 within existing resources and salary savings, without an increase to the General Fund budget. To the extent that any permanent or temporary staff are used to support the major special events directly, those costs will be billed to the events and fully reimbursed, in compliance with Measure J.

The FY 2025/26 proposed budget for special events is $11.4 million. Of this amount, $10.1 million reflects personnel costs, including regular staff time, overtime, as-needed and staffing from outside agencies. The budget for regular staff time is $1.6 million, with $1.0 million allocated for the planning of the events, $0.5 million for the deployment at the events, and the remaining $0.1 million for training. The remaining $8.5 million of funding for overtime, as-needed and outside agencies is allocated for the deployment at the special events. Further detail on the costs by department is provided in Question 7 below. All of these costs will be fully reimbursed.

2. When will the special events dashboard be available and will it include data from FY 2024/25? Will the dashboard include all staff time, not solely public safety? Response: Information will be provided through an online dashboard reflecting the actual costs and reimbursements on a quarterly basis for the major events. This will include all City costs billed to the Bay Area Host Committee starting in FY 2024/25. The dashboard will be available by August 2025.

3. For the firefighter positions currently funded from the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant, can we retain all the positions once the grant ends? Response: The SAFER grant allowed for the restoration of 12.0 previously frozen firefighter positions and the addition of 6.0 firefighter positions based on the existing vacancies at the time of the grant application for a total of 18.0 grant-funded positions over the three-year grant period ending in FY 2025/26. After the grant period, this budget recommends the continuation of the 12.0 restored firefighter positions starting in FY 2026/27. The 6.0 positions that were requested due to vacancies were temporary and no longer funded after the grant.

4. On average, how much annual funding do other jurisdictions allocate to their Capital Projects Reserve and/or dedicate to capital infrastructure? Response: In reviewing the budgets for the various jurisdictions across the County of Santa Clara, staff found that the cities have different policies for allocating funds for capital purposes.

Attachment 6
FY 2025/26 & FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/27/2025 Budget Study Session

 The fiscal policies for several cities specified the use of a portion of General Fund surplus funds at the end of a fiscal year for capital projects (Cupertino, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, San Jose, Saratoga).
 A few cities set a minimum goal of $5.0 million for a capital reserve (Santa Clara, Cupertino, Mountain View).
 A few cities have dedicated funding sources for capital, such as Construction and Conveyance (property transfer) Tax, Construction Excise Tax, Building and Structure Tax, dedicated portion of the Transient Occupancy Tax, Storm Sewer Fees (San Jose, Palo Alto, Mountain View).
 The City of Palo Alto budgets a base transfer from the General Fund.

5. For prior fiscal years, how close are the year-end actuals to the budgets for those years? Response: The goal each year is to end the year with a General Fund surplus equal to 2% of revenues and 2% of expenditures for a total of approximately 4% of the budget. The table below shows the actual General Fund surpluses that were available for allocation at the end of the last five fiscal years. These surpluses were comprised of excess revenues and expenditure savings from the budgeted levels.

Fiscal Year
General Fund Year-End
Surplus % of Budget
FY 2019/20 $2.1 M 0.8%
FY 2020/21 $8.8 M 3.2%
FY 2021/22 $19.8 M 7.2%
FY 2022/23 $36.4 M 12.8%
FY 2023/24 $17.6 M 5.9%

6. For the support for the unhoused, are we simply partnering with the County? Response: The Community Development Department’s Housing and Community Services Division does partner with the County to offer specific services including homelessness prevention and project-based case management services. Staff from the Housing Division and City Manager’s Office also dedicated significant time leading up to the biennial Homelessness Point in Time Count in January 2025 in close partnership with the County. This year, City staff was asked to lead recruiting, training, and deploying volunteers to canvas the city. This effort included in-person surveys of unhoused residents across the city and the distribution of incentive bags with gloves, beanies, snacks, and personal hygiene products. This will be a continued partnership between City and County staff.

The City directly funds the WeHope mobile shower and laundry program, NextDoor Solutions domestic violence survivor support, and tenant-based rental and deposit assistance (TBRA) with case management. Staff is in the process of expanding the TBRA program using HOME ARP funding.

Additionally, the City received a $1.8 million grant from the State of California for the Santa Clara Overnight Care Locations pilot program. Staff proposes to use this grant funding to support initial Attachment 6
FY 2025/26 & FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget
Responses to Questions from the 5/27/2025 Budget Study Session

investments in an emergency and inclement weather shelter program for unhoused residents and to conduct mobile outreach and case management citywide for a two-year period. This project will come back to City Council for approval by early summer 2025.

The City is planning a City Council Study Session on July 8th for a discussion on a citywide plan to reduce homelessness and its impacts, which includes additional future services to support the unhoused.

7. How will special events be covered with as-needed staff and overtime and how are they funded in the budget?
Response: The FY 2025/26 proposed budget includes $11.4 million for personnel and nonpersonnel costs (e.g., equipment, training) associated with Super Bowl LX and FIFA World Cup 2026 events, while the FY 2026/27 proposed budget includes $1.2 million for salary costs associated with the FIFA World Cup events. All of these costs are budgeted to be reimbursed.

The following table provides a breakdown of the $11.4 million budget for Stadium special events in Non-Departmental, with $5.3 million budgeted for overtime and $1.0 million budgeted for as-needed costs. The Non-Departmental costs are assumed to be reimbursed in the Proposed Budget.

8. How much Stadium performance rent is anticipated in the budget? Response: The anticipated performance rent assumed in the Proposed budget is $2.15 million in FY 2025/26 and $2.85 million in FY 2026/27. These amounts are also assumed in the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (SCSA) budget approved on March 11, 2025.

9. When the year-end budgetary report is presented, should the anticipated surplus funds in the General Fund be allocated to the Pension Stabilization Reserve or the Capital Projects Reserve?
Response: When the FY 2024/25 Budgetary Year-End Report is presented in December 2025, staff plans to bring forward recommendations to add funding to the Pension Stabilization Reserve and the Capital Projects Reserve. Under the City’s Budget and Fiscal Policies, the target annual funding contribution to the Pension Stabilization Reserve is 1% of the City ‘s unfunded pension liability; funds are typically added to this reserve as part of the budgetary year-end report. A portion of the General Fund surplus is also expected to be added to the Capital Projects Reserve.

Historically, year-end surplus funds are the primary funding source for capital projects that rely on the General Fund and are the primary funding source for the subsequent biennial capital budget.

Responses to Questions from the 5/27/2025 Budget Study Session

10. How can the City capitalize on the major events? Should the City hire a consultant to maximize TOT revenues from short-term rentals (VRBO and Airbnb)? Response: The Community Development Department’s Planning Division is currently working on the City’s Short-Term Rental (STR) program. The City is partnering with a consultant to develop a website for individuals to register their STRs and work on an outreach campaign to educate Santa Clara residents on the new program requirements. The consultant will also continually monitor internet listings and cross-reference them with the City’s registered STRs to ensure all individuals are in compliance with this program. The STR registration portal is expected to go live in July 2025, with an outreach campaign shortly following in August 2025.

The City also has voluntary compliance agreement (VCA) with Airbnb to help the City with maximizing TOT receipts. The City also receives TOT from other smaller short-term rental websites.

VCAs with other websites will be pursued ahead of the large events.

11. Can staff verify that the 51% of the General Fund budget allocated to public safety excludes Stadium work?
Response: Yes, the 51% of the General Fund allocated to public safety excludes Stadium work.

The Stadium budget is included under the Non-Departmental budget, which includes both standard Stadium items and special event related items.

12. For the $6.7 million proposed in the General Fund for FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 for City Council priorities and City services, are these funds earmarked for specific purposes? Response: The Proposed Budget allocates $6.7 million over the two-year period ($3.8 million in FY 2025/26 and $2.9 million in FY 2026/27) to the various budget proposals in the budget that support City Council priorities and City services.

These additions include items such as: funds for library materials; consultant funding for the Fiscal Sustainability Plan; funding to review and explore the potential expansion of the City’s fiber network; staffing to support housing and homelessness response, sustainability and the Climate Action Plan, administrative support for the City Attorney’s Office, parks and recreation capital project and program support, and revisions to the City’s practice to charge Public Works staff costs directly to projects; funding for general obligation bond implementation; the continuation of the 12.0 firefighter positions (partially offset by a reduction in overtime); and capital funding for the Public Art Master Plan and the feasibility study for the walkway from Tasman to Lafayette.

13. Are the City Council priorities prioritized and can a dashboard be provided to show how the funding is aligned to the priorities?
Response: The City Council priorities are currently not prioritized. A prioritization process can be evaluated as part of future priority setting sessions. A dashboard and biannual reports will provide information on the status of priorities, including whether they are funded. The target date for the dashboard is fall 2025.

Responses to Questions from the 5/27/2025 Budget Study Session

14. What are the 7.35 ongoing positions funded with one-time funds, and how would we forecast for those positions?
Response: The budget includes 7.35 positions that are recommended to be funded by the General Fund on an ongoing basis. These include 1.0 Management Analyst to help manage the Homelessness Response Plan; 1.0 Staff Analyst for Housing Element implementation support; two positions (1.0 Accountant, 1.0 Management Analyst) to support a revision of the City’s practice to charge public works staff directly to projects; 1.0 Recreation Manager to support Parks and Recreation capital projects and programs; 1.0 Management Analyst to support sustainability / Climate Action Plan; unfreezing 1.0 Legal Office Specialist; and 0.35 portions of positions in Finance and Fire. These positions were identified as the highest needs to deliver current City Council priorities and support operations in key areas. While the costs of $1.3 million in FY 2025/26 and $1.6 million in FY 2026/27 are funded with one-time resources, the ongoing cost (if approved) will be included in the next 10-year forecast and will be factored into the solutions needed through the Fiscal Sustainability Plan project.

15. What will be the scope of work for the Fiscal Sustainability Project? Was a similar report prepared in the past that can be used as a model?
Response: There has not been a consultant report prepared in recent history examining the City’s fiscal position. Staff is developing a request for proposal to obtain a consultant for the Fiscal Sustainability Project. As part of this process, staff is reviewing reports from other jurisdictions to inform the scope. While the scope of work is still under development, it is expected to include an analysis of City funding sources, infrastructure needs, services, and reserve levels (e.g., Budget Stabilization Reserve, Pension Stabilization Reserve, Capital Projects Reserve). The analysis will also review the City’s current position as well as provide benchmarks from local / comparable jurisdictions. One of the expected project deliverables is an Implementation Action Plan that presents actionable strategies for the City Council and community to consider that would address projected budget shortfalls, enhance the City’s capacity to fund services and infrastructure, and plan for future service demands and population changes.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action Establishing the City's Fiscal Year 2025/26 Appropriations Limit of $697,292,626 Pursuant to Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution

COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency

BACKGROUND
Annually, the City of Santa Clara (City) is required to calculate the expenditure appropriation limit from tax proceeds to determine compliance with Proposition 4 (Gann Initiative) and Proposition 111 (Spending Limitation Act of 1990). On November 6, 1979, the California electorate passed Proposition 4, which created Article XIIIB of the State Constitution, which placed limits on the amount of revenue that can be spent by governmental agencies. This constitutional amendment, also known as the Gann Initiative, placed limits on the growth of expenditures for publicly funded programs by restricting the amount of revenue that the City can appropriate in any fiscal year. Not all revenues are restricted by the limit, only those that are categorized as proceeds of taxes.

The City's limit has been based on actual appropriations during FY 1978/79, increased annually by an adjustment factor. On June 5, 1990, the California electorate approved Proposition 111, which modified the method of adjusting the annual appropriations limit. Beginning with the FY 1990/91 appropriations limit, the City may choose from the following indices when arriving at an adjustment factor:

1. The annual growth in the City's population or the annual growth in the County's population as provided by the State Department of Finance; and

2. The annual growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth in the nonresidential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City.

DISCUSSION
The City is responsible for dividing citywide revenues between tax and non-tax revenue and applying the formula to the cumulative appropriation limit. For FY 2025/26, the appropriations limit was computed using the annual population growth of the City of Santa Clara (0.57%) and the annual growth in California Per Capita Income (6.44%). Applying these adjustment factors, the appropriations limit for the City of Santa Clara in FY 2025/26 is $697,292,626 (Schedule 1). As a result, this calculation limits the City from receiving more than $697,292,626 in tax-based revenues in FY 2025/26. An analysis of the revenues generated from tax proceeds minus any exempted expenditures (such as debt service, capital outlay and federal mandates) resulted in total revenue subject to the appropriation limit of $254,040,417 or 36.43% of the limit. The City’s appropriations subject to the limit are $443,252,209 below the FY 2025/26 appropriations limit. Therefore, the City is City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/6/2025

25-538 Agenda Date: 6/10/2025
in compliance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.

Schedule 1 provides the history of the City's appropriations limits as adopted by the Council for FY 2016/17 through FY 2024/25 and the appropriations limit recommended for adoption for FY 2025/26.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” 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 it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impacts on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to this report. By adopting the Resolution establishing the appropriations limit for FY 2025/26 the City will be in compliance with Propositions 4 and 111.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
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. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

The annual growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth in the non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City.

The 1990/91 Appropriations Limit was revised by applying the new growth factors to the appropriations limits for 1986/87 and each subsequent year. In computing the FY 2025/26 Appropriations Limit, the population growth of the City of Santa Clara and the annual growth in California Per Capita Income were used.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Public Hearing: Action on a Resolution Approving the Levy of Benefit Assessment upon the City of Santa Clara Parking Maintenance District No. 122 - Franklin Square

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
Parking Maintenance District No. 122 (PMD 122) was formed in 1965 for the parking lots, arcades, fountains, sidewalks, landscaping, irrigation, lights, and utilities within Franklin Square, which is bounded by Benton Street, Homestead Road (formerly known as Liberty Street), Monroe Street, and Jackson Street. From 1965 - 2002, the cost of maintenance and operation of PMD 122 was divided between the City and property owners. There have been several changes in how maintenance and operation costs have been collected over the years and in 2002 the City Council passed a motion at a public hearing in which the City assumed all future costs for operation and maintenance and in May 2003 adopted Resolution 7026. Under the collection method contained in Resolution 7026, the property owners contribute annually to pay for capital repairs of the parking lot and associated walkways. The fixed annual contribution from the property owners totals $14,200, less the earned interest on the accumulating balance. The City, through the General Fund, is responsible for covering the costs for annual maintenance and operations of PMD 122 and that has continued to be the arrangement through the present day.

The City Council did not approve a Resolution Approving the Levy of Benefit Assessment upon the City of Santa Clara Parking Maintenance District No. 122 - Franklin Square in FY 2024/25, so contributions from the property owners were not collected. As such, other than interest accrual, no other money was deposited into the fund for future capital repairs.

On April 8, 2025, Council adopted a Resolution of Intention (Resolution No. 25-9429) related to the proposed maintenance assessments for PMD 122. In addition, the Resolution established June 10, 2025 as the date that City Council would hear testimony and act upon the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) and Director’s Report (Attachment 2).

DISCUSSION
The proposed FY 2025/26 assessment to property owners will be $10,673. Per the terms of PMD 122, accrued interest earned in FY 2023/24 in the amount of $3,527 will be used to reach the $14,200 annual requirement. These funds are placed into an account that generates interest income and are used to pay for capital repair projects as needs arise. At the end of FY 2023/24 the interestbearing account contained $187,056.

City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 6/6/2025

25-111 Agenda Date: 6/10/2025
The final recommended operating budget is $139,990 for FY 2025/26, which is $3,364 above the FY 2024/25 expenditure budget, excluding last year’s capital outlay costs. The full-time equivalent (FTE) position allocated to PMD remains unchanged at 0.50 FTE. The primary reason for the increased expenditure budget in FY 2025/26 is due to increased labor and contractual costs. There are no exceptional maintenance and operation costs budgeted in FY 2025/26.

The operating budget includes funding for routine maintenance and operation performed by the Department of Public Works as well as contractors, which is all funded by the General Fund. This includes regular maintenance for landscaping, trees, public litter cans, and parking lot/walkway sweeping.

Proposition 218 requires a majority protest opportunity and voter approval of new or increased fees.

Since the proposed assessments of $10,673 ($14,200 minus $3,527 in interest) for FY 2025/26 are less than the greatest previously approved assessments, such proposed fees do not qualify as new or increased fees. Therefore, the City is not required to undergo a protest process or obtain voter approval from the property owners. The assessments to the property owners cannot be sent out until the Director’s Report is approved at a public hearing.

Staff has previously provided responses to Council questions about the procedures for modifying and dissolving PMD 122 as well as paid parking. Those reports are included as Attachments 4 and 5.

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)(4) in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the assessment maintains the funding source for future capital repairs to parking lots and walkways located within Franklin Square. The City’s General Fund remains as the funding source for routine maintenance and operating costs for the Downtown Parking Maintenance District. The total proposed FY 2025/26 expenditure budget for Parking Maintenance District No. 122 is $139,990 subject to appropriation of funds.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
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.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Update on Discussions with Parking Maintenance District No. 122 - Franklin Square (PMD 122) Property Owners Regarding Council’s Request to Explore Increased Contributions for Operations and Maintenance Costs

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
Parking Maintenance District No. 122 (PMD 122) was formed in 1965 for the parking lots, arcades, fountains, sidewalks, landscaping, irrigation, lights, and utilities within Franklin Square, which is bounded by Benton Street, Homestead Road (formerly known as Liberty Street), Monroe Street, and Jackson Street. There have been several changes in how maintenance and operations costs have been collected over the years and in 2002 the City Council passed a motion at a public hearing in which the City assumed all future costs for operation and maintenance and in May 2003 adopted Resolution 7026. Under the collection method contained in Resolution 7026, the property owners contribute annually to pay for capital repairs of the parking lot and associated walkways. The fixed annual contribution from the property owners totals $14,200, less the earned interest on the accumulating balance. The accumulated balance in the account is $144,887 as of October 2021.

The City, through the General Fund, is responsible for covering the costs for annual maintenance and operations of PMD 122 and that has continued to be the arrangement through the present day. In FY 2021/22, the City budgeted $138,163 to cover the day-to-day maintenance of PMD 122.

On several occasions Council has discussed the allocation of PMD 122 costs because the City pays for all of the day-to-day maintenance and there was sentiment by some members of the Council that the property owners should pay some of these costs, similar to how PMD 122 was funded prior to 2003. On May 4, 2021, Council directed staff to engage PMD 122 property owners and discuss opportunities for reallocating operations and maintenance costs more equitably between the City and property owners since costs have increased since 2003. Later in this report, the State law process for administering PMD 122 is provided but, in short, any change requires a favorable voter outcome of those impacted by the assessment. It should be noted that regardless of changes to the funding allocations in the PMD, the City is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the City-owned improvements at Franklin Square. Absent changes to the funding allocations, only changes to the level of service of upkeep and maintenance could reduce the City’s share of the annual maintenance cost.

DISCUSSION
Staff developed a plan to implement this request which included property owner coordination and City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 6/8/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-1672 Agenda Date: 1/25/2022
engagement, a survey, and follow up with Council.

Property Owner Engagement July 2021
All PMD 122 property owners were contacted and invited to a virtual meeting on July 12, 2021. At this meeting, staff summarized the background of the past and current PMD 122 cost sharing arrangements and the direction from the Council to engage property owners to see if they are amenable to paying a portion of the operations and maintenance costs which have risen over the last 19 years. The property owners conveyed some of their concerns about PMD 122 and were encouraged to propose funding alternatives for consideration and ask questions. A copy of the minutes from the July 12 meeting was distributed to all the property owners following the meeting and can be viewed in Attachment 1.

Survey
Following the meeting, staff developed a series of survey questions designed to gauge property owners’ amenability to contributing to the annual maintenance. In general, the purpose of the survey was to gauge the property owners’ willingness to shift a portion of the PMD 122 operations and maintenance costs to the property owners. A virtual meeting was scheduled for October 21, 2021 to review the draft survey questions with the property owners to ensure that everyone understood the questions and to receive suggestions prior to finalizing the survey and sending it out. Prior to the meeting, the City was contacted by David DeLozier who indicated that the property owners had been discussing this item and were not in support of changing the current cost allocations included in PMD 122. Mr. DeLozier indicated that the property owners would be submitting a petition that would also include the merchants.

Property Owner and Merchant Petition
The property owners and merchants circulated a petition for no changes to PMD 122, which was signed by all the property owners and most of the merchants. The signed petition (Attachment 2) was submitted to staff on October 19, 2021 which made it clear that a survey was not necessary to gauge PMD property owners’ interest in financially contributing to operations and maintenance.

Property Owner Engagement October 2021
All PMD 122 property owners were contacted and invited to a virtual meeting on October 21, 2021.

The initial purpose of the meeting was to review proposed survey questions developed by staff to ensure that the property owners understood the questions and to get their input to see if any of the language needed to be modified to make the questions more clear. At the end of the meeting it was determined that due to the petition from the property owners, there was no need to proceed with the survey. Staff discussed next steps with the property owners in attendance and indicated a report would be prepared for Council at a meeting to take place in early 2022. A copy of the minutes from the October 21 meeting can be viewed in Attachment 3.

During prior meetings, Council had raised questions about the procedures for modifying and dissolving PMD 122. Staff has included the information on both of those processes below.

Process for Modifications to PMD 122
Any decision by the Council to increase the assessment (e.g., to increase the property owners’ share of operation, maintenance, and capital costs or to modify the formula used to calculate the amount of the assessment levied on any individual parcel) must follow the assessment balloting procedure required by Proposition 218. That procedure consists of three basic steps:

City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 4 Printed on 6/8/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-1672 Agenda Date: 1/25/2022
(1) Notice to Property Owners - Mailed notice of the proposed modification to the 11 property owners within PMD 122. The notice must contain the following information: the total amount to be assessed across PMD 122; the amount chargeable to each parcel individually; the duration of the payments; the basis upon which the assessment was calculated; the date, time, and location of the public hearing on the proposed modification; and a ballot on which the owner can indicate support for or opposition to the proposed modification. (2) Public Hearing - At least 45 days after the date of the mailed notice, the Council must hold a public hearing to consider protests and tabulate the ballots on the proposed assessment. (3) Ballot Tabulation - Ballots are weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property. For PMD 122, the assessments are calculated based on the gross floor area of the building(s) on each parcel and therefore the ballots would be weighted accordingly.

If the ballots submitted in opposition exceed the ballots submitted in support, then the City may not impose the modified assessment.

Process for Dissolving PMD 122
Proposition 218 does not govern the dissolution of PMD 122 because dissolution has the effect of eliminating, rather than increasing, the assessment. Therefore, only the City Code and Streets and Highways Code would apply. Under those laws, dissolution is not subject to the approval of property owners within the district. The Council can dissolve the maintenance district by: (1) adopting a resolution of intention to dissolve the district; (2) between 10 and 30 days later, conducting a public hearing on the dissolution; and, (3) adopting a resolution dissolving the district. A resolution dissolving the district would only need a simple Council majority to pass. If Council votes to dissolve PMD 122, extraordinary maintenance activities can continue to utilize PMD 122 assessment funds until the balance is exhausted. After the funds are exhausted the City would be required to fund the extraordinary maintenance in its entirety.

Staff notes that as a practical matter, dissolution would merely eliminate the property owners’ assessments as a funding source for capital improvement costs. Dissolution would not relieve the City’s responsibility for upkeep and maintenance of the City-owned improvements at the Franklin Square Mall. As such, the Council direction to determine how property owners pay more for services offered through PMD 122 would not be achieved.

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
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
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 City of Santa Clara Page 3 of 4 Printed on 6/8/2022

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Informational Report Regarding Council’s Request to Explore Alternatives to Fund Operations and Maintenance Costs for Parking Maintenance District No. 122 - Franklin Square

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
Parking Maintenance District No. 122 (PMD 122) was formed in 1965 for the parking lots, arcades, fountains, sidewalks, landscaping, irrigation, lights, and utilities within Franklin Square, which is bounded by Benton Street, Homestead Road (formerly known as Liberty Street), Monroe Street, and Jackson Street. There have been several changes in how maintenance and operations costs have been collected over the years and in 2002 the City Council passed a motion at a public hearing in which the City assumed all future costs for operation and maintenance and in May 2003 adopted Resolution 7026. Under the collection method contained in Resolution 7026, the property owners contribute annually to pay for capital repairs of the parking lot and associated walkways. The fixed annual contribution from the property owners totals $14,200, less the earned interest on the accumulating balance. As of December 31, 2021, the interest-bearing account contained $145,305.

The City, through the General Fund, is responsible for covering the costs for annual maintenance and operations of PMD 122 and that has continued to be the arrangement through the present day. In FY 2022/23, the City proposed a budget of $137,521 to cover the day-to-day maintenance of PMD 122.

On several occasions Council has discussed the allocation of PMD 122 costs because the City pays for all of the day-to-day maintenance and there was sentiment by some members of the Council that the property owners should pay some of these costs, similar to how PMD 122 was funded prior to 2003. On May 4, 2021, Council directed staff to engage PMD 122 property owners and discuss opportunities for reallocating operations and maintenance costs more equitably between the City and property owners since costs have increased since 2003. Staff completed that request and on January 25, 2022, a summary report was provided to Council, (RTC 22-1672, Attachment 1), explaining that the property owners were not in favor of changing the cost allocations of PMD 122.

DISCUSSION
At the Council Meeting on April 19, 2022, there was additional discussion on the topic of increasing PMD 122 costs, so the property owners contribute towards the annual operation and maintenance costs of Franklin Square. Council requested that staff explore alternative funding mechanisms that may assist the City in recovering money for annual maintenance and operations and return to Council with that information. As discussed in the background section staff already spent time working with the property owners over the course of several months. There are no additional options City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 1/30/2023
powered by Legistar™
22-713 Agenda Date: 6/21/2022
to increase contributions since the property owners already expressed to the City that they are not interested in an increase, and increases cannot be assessed unless the property owners agree by ballot. One other option that came up during the April 19, 2022 Council meeting involved the concept of implementing paid parking at Franklin Square.

Currently, the City of Santa Clara does not operate paid parking areas and any consideration of changing to paid parking at Franklin Square would require a study that includes items such as:

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Public Hearing: Action on a Resolution Approving the Levy of Benefit Assessment Upon Maintenance District No. 183 - Santa Clara Convention Center Complex

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
The original lease agreements between the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clara, Santa Clara Convention Hotel Limited Partnership (Hotel) and SCCC Associates II (Techmart) provided for the formation of Maintenance District No. 183 (MD 183) - the Santa Clara Convention Center Complex. These agreements also served to apportion the funds necessary to maintain and operate the common improvements serving the Convention Center, Hotel, and Techmart. Hudson Techmart Commerce Center LLC currently owns Techmart, Hyatt Regency Santa Clara is the current Hotel owner, and the Convention Center building is owned by the City of Santa Clara. Each of these three parties is responsible for a share of the maintenance assessment, which is set by the annual budget.

In June 1986, Council Adopted Resolution 5081 that formed MD 183 and established the mechanism for funding maintenance and operations on an annual basis. There are three components of this annual funding. The first component is the overall cost of maintaining and operating the general infrastructure consisting of things such as pavement, sidewalks, walkways, covered walkways, signs, landscaping, etc. In addition to the cost of maintaining and operating the common areas, the proposed total cost includes expenses relating to the City's cost to administer MD 183, insurance, and utilities. The cost for these items is split by 39.64 percent to the City of Santa Clara (City), 22.94 percent to the Hyatt Regency Hotel (Hyatt), and 37.42 percent to Hudson Techmart Commerce Center LLC (Techmart). The second component includes the cost of maintaining and operating permanent parking controls such as fixed signage, electronic signage, and other parking-related equipment. The costs for these items are allocated 30.04 percent to the City, 22.12 percent to the Hyatt, and 47.84 percent to Techmart. The third and final component includes the costs for maintaining and operating temporary parking controls such as moveable barriers, temporary parking attendants and guards, adjustable gates, and signage. The costs for these items are allocated by

78.72 percent to the City, 10.64 percent to the Hyatt, and 10.64 percent to Techmart.

A Director’s Report for each maintenance district is required to be prepared each fiscal year by the Director of Public Works, setting forth the budget for the ensuing year, the formula for the annual assessment levy, and a description of each property, including the amount of assessment to be levied against each lot. A copy of the Director’s Report for the District for FY 2025/26 has been prepared and is attached (Attachment 1). This Report has also been filed with the City Clerk.

25-112 Agenda Date: 6/10/2025
Proposition 218, passed by the voters of California in November 1996, made significant changes to the method and manner of approving assessments for maintenance districts. Proposition 218 requires that written ballots be sent and returned if there are proposed increases greater than any previously approved assessments. A written majority of ballots, weighted according to the proportional financial obligation, needs to be received to approve any proposed annual increase.

Copies of the Director’s Report were mailed to each of the owners in Maintenance District No. 183 apprising them of the proposed formula, including the amount of the individual assessment. Staff notified property owners and any interested tenants about scheduled meetings on March 5, 2025 and April 2, 2025 to discuss the Director’s Report and the assessment district procedures.

DISCUSSION
On April 8, 2025, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention (Resolution No. 25-9430, Attachment 2) related to the proposed FY 2025/26 special benefit assessments for MD 183, which is bounded by Tasman Drive, Great America Parkway, and San Tomas Aquino Creek. In addition, the Resolution of Intention established June 10, 2025, as the date that City Council would hear testimony and act upon the attached report prepared by the Director of Public Works.

Per Proposition 218 requirements, since the proposed FY 2025/26 operational and maintenance costs of $1,993,225 is approximately $130,400 more than the greatest previously approved assessments, ballots and approvals are required from all members of MD 183.

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)(4) in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure budget in the Proposed FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Biennial Operating Budget for the Convention Center Maintenance District Fund is $1,993,225. The budget of $1,993,225 reflects an increase of 7 percent over last year’s budget for vendor increases and ongoing deferred maintenance repairs.

The proposed assessments by property owner are as follows: $940,109 from the City of Santa Clara (Santa Clara Convention Center); $409,460 from the Hyatt Regency Hotel; and $643,656 from the Hudson Techmart Commerce Center. The funds to pay for the proposed assessment for the City’s portion (formerly that of the Redevelopment Agency) are budgeted as a transfer from the General Fund.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
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. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 3 Printed on 6/6/2025

Staff notified property owners and any interested tenants about scheduled meetings on March 5, 2025 and April 2, 2025, to discuss the Director’s Report and the assessment district procedures.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Declare that all the ballots sent to property owners within Maintenance District No. 183 have been received and counted and that a majority of property owners have approved the proposed levy of benefit assessment in accordance with Proposition 218.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Resolution Authorizing an Ad Valorem Tax Levy Based on a Debt Service Estimate to be Provided to Santa Clara County Respecting Unsold General Obligation Bonds for Fiscal Year 2025/26

COUNCIL PILLAR
Manage Strategically Our Workforce Capacity and Resources

BACKGROUND
Measure I, which was passed by more than two-thirds of the City of Santa Clara’s (the “City”) voters at the November 5, 2024, General Election, authorizes the issuance by the City of general obligation bonds in the total principal amount of $400 Million (the “Bonds”) for the purpose of providing funds for the municipal capital improvements listed in the bond expenditure plan (Attachment 2) approved by the City Council. The first series of Bonds is expected to be issued in late 2025 or early 2026, which will require a property tax to be placed on the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Santa Clara County (the “County”) property tax roll to provide for debt service payments of any principal or interest coming due on the Bonds in 2026.

DISCUSSION
California law permits the City to levy property taxes in advance of an anticipated bond issuance based on the estimated debt service requirements for the bonds by providing an adopted a resolution, including a tax rate and bond principal amount, to various County officials prior to the August deadline for finalizing the property tax assessments. City staff, working with the City’s municipal advisor, PFM Financial Advisors, has estimated the principal amount of the first series Bonds as $150 Million, and the per-parcel tax rate as $28.70 per $100,000 (0.0287%) of assessed value, to be assessed on all property owners. The attached resolution (Attachment 1) includes these figures and authorizes City staff to provide the resolution and any related information to the appropriate County officials.

The City Council had several questions regarding the Bonds issuance from the May 27, 2025 General Obligation Bonds Study Session. Responses to the questions are included in Attachment 3 to this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the 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. Furthermore, 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 City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/6/2025
powered by Legistar™
25-401 Agenda Date: 6/10/2025
organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The per-parcel property tax levy of $28.70 per $100,000 (0.0287%) of assessed value in Fiscal Year 2025/26 will generate approximately $16.80 million and support the estimated first debt service payment due in Fiscal Year 2026/27. Due to the timing of property tax payments, the levy is needed in FY 2025/26 to generate the funds for the debt service payment in FY 2026/27.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
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. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA,

AUTHORIZING AN AD VALOREM TAX LEVY BASED ON A DEBT

SERVICE ESTIMATE TO BE PROVIDED TO SANTA CLARA COUNTY

RESPECTING UNSOLD GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2025-26
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Clara (the “City”) is a municipal corporation and charter city duly organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, more than two-thirds of the electors voting at an election duly and regularly held in the City on November 5, 2024, voted in favor of a bond measure known as Measure I (the “Bond Measure”), authorizing the issuance by the City of general obligation bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 (the “Bonds”) for the purpose of providing funds for certain municipal improvements; and
WHEREAS, the City expects that it will issue an initial series of the Bonds under the Bond Measure on or around February 2026, which will require an ad valorem property tax to be placed on the 2025-26 County of Santa Clara (the “County”) property tax roll to provide for payments of any principal or interest coming due on the Bonds; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 5403, when bonds to be issued by or on behalf of a public body have been authorized by an election or other method provided by law, and where it is expected that all or any part of such bonds will be sold at such time that principal or interest on such bonds will become due before the proceeds of a tax levied after such sale would be available to pay such principal or interest, the governing body, at the time of fixing the annual tax levy, may levy a tax in an amount clearly sufficient to pay that portion of the principal of and interest on said bonds which it is expected will become due before the proceeds of the next succeeding tax levy will be available; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City (the "City Council") expects and determines that the Bonds will be issued after the date established by the County for submitting debt service requirements to be placed on the fiscal year 2025-26 property tax roll, and the City Council Resolution/Authorizing Ad Valorem Tax Levy Page 2 of 3
Rev: 7/27/2023
wishes to inform the County of its intention to issue the Bonds after such date, in accordance with Government Code Section 5403; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes at this time to authorize the City Manager, the Director of Finance and the City Clerk to make certain communications with the County respecting the foregoing.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA AS FOLLOWS:

1. Recitals Correct. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.

2. Intention to Issue Bonds. The City Council hereby expresses its current expectation to cause the issuance of approximately $150 million aggregate principal amount of the Bonds during fiscal year 2025-26 pursuant to the Bond Measure. The Bonds are currently expected to be issued in or around February 2026, which is after the deadline for filing with the County debt service requirements for general obligation bonds, such that property tax rates can be set by the County. It is expected that the financing will require an ad valorem tax levy to be included on the 2025-26 tax roll for the purpose of paying interest on and amortizing a portion of the Bonds in fiscal year 2025-26.

3. Information to County. The City Manager, the Director of Finance and the City Clerk are each hereby separately authorized to (a) file a certified copy of this Resolution with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and such other County officials as the County may require to facilitate such levy, and (b) provide, or cause to be provided, an estimate of debt service for the Bonds to the Auditor-Controller of the County.

4. Request to County to Levy Tax. The Board of Supervisors of the County is hereby requested to adopt a tax rate of $28.70 per $100,000 assessed valuation with respect to the City, which takes into account the Bonds expected to be issued during fiscal year 2025-26, based upon estimated debt service schedules prepared by officers of the City, together with the City’s municipal advisor, and to levy an ad valorem tax in fiscal year 2025-26 on all taxable property in the City sufficient to pay the estimated debt service.

The Expenditure Plan includes the following infrastructure expenditure categories (“Project Categories”), each with a designated amount of allocated Infrastructure Bonds proceeds (“Designated Allocations”): Streets and Transportation ($41,170,000); Fire Stations and Emergency Response ($142,235,450); Police Facilities ($43,987,500); Parks, Library, Senior Center and Aquatic Facilities ($115,258,750); Storm Drain System Improvements (46,000,000); Historic Buildings and Beautification ($9,200,000); and Bond Issuance Costs ($2,000,000). Project Categories and/or their respective Designated Allocations may be amended, but only in accordance with the Expenditure Plan Amendment Process set forth in Section 6 of this Expenditure Plan, below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Designated Allocation for Bond Issuance Costs shall be treated as a “Budgeted Amount” under this plan, to be updated by staff without a formal Expenditure Plan amendment in accordance with the process set forth in Section 3, below.

3. Designated Infrastructure Subcategories/Specific Projects. Within each Project Category, there is a list of designated project subcategories and/or specific projects (“Infrastructure Projects”), including estimated amounts budgeted for each such project subcategory/specific project, and an overall estimate of the projected contingencies, cost escalations and administrative costs necessary for project implementation (“Budgeted Amounts”). Infrastructure Projects may be deleted or added, but only in accordance with the Expenditure Plan Amendment Process set forth in Section 6 of this Expenditure Plan, below. Budgeted Amounts represent City staff’s best estimate of the projected costs for such Infrastructure Projects as of the date of the City’s adoption of this Expenditure Plan. Throughout the duration of the Expenditure Plan staff will monitor the Budgeted Amounts for outstanding projects and, at least [annually], as necessary, staff will revise the Expenditure Plan to update the Budgeted Amounts to be consistent with then projected project implementation costs. Staff updates to Budgeted Amounts will not be considered amendments to the Expenditure Plan requiring the amendment process set forth in Section 6, below.

4. Phased Implementation. Infrastructure Projects identified within the Expenditure Plan will be implemented in phases (each a “Project Phase”). Consistent with priorities set by the City Council, staff will develop lists of proposed Infrastructure Projects to be included within each Project Phase. Each Project Phase will be presented for City Council and approval as part of the City’s annual Capital Improvement Program budget process. Additional factors to be considered in the development and timing of each Project Phase, and the sequencing of projects within each Project Phase time period include: (a) the need to balance available staff and contractor resources; (b) the length of the planning, design, and construction phases of each project; (c) disruption to the public as City services and facilities are removed from service to undergo renovations; (d) legal requirements for the expenditure of Infrastructure Bond proceeds (in general, under current federal tax law, the City must expect to spend 85% of each series of Infrastructure Bond funds within three years of their date(s) of issuance ); (e) the timing and availability of alternate and supplemental funding sources; (f) local, regional, state or federal permitting requirements; (g) the need to coordinate with outside agencies.

5. Council Approval Required. Council approval shall be required for (a) each and every proposed Project Phase for the implementation of the Expenditure Plan; (b) each and every issuance of Infrastructure Bonds to finance a Project Phase; and (c) any proposed amendment to the Expenditure Plan as provided in Section 6. Below.

6. Amendment of the Plan. Any proposed substantive amendment to this Expenditure Plan shall be subject to the requirements of Section 13(b)(ii) of the Ordinance. Such requirements shall include prior consideration and input from the “Bond Compliance COC” as provided therein.

7. Legal Requirements for Capital Projects. All Infrastructure Project costs paid from Infrastructure Bond proceeds shall consist of capital costs of the acquisition and improvement of real property within the meaning of California law. Any Infrastructure Project costs consisting of furnishings, furniture, equipment, software, ordinary maintenance (such as repairs, painting, resurfacing, striping or slurry seals), or other non-capital costs shall be paid by the City from other funds.

Responses to Questions from the 5/27/2025 Study Session

1. What is the City’s current credit rating?
Response: The City seeks to obtain and maintain the highest possible credit ratings for all categories of debt. The current Debt Management Policy (Debt Policy) states “The City will not issue bonds that do not carry investment grade ratings.” The City’s bonds are rated favorably by major bond rating agencies, Fitch and S&P Global. The City received an AA+ issuer credit rating (ICR) from S&P Global in June 2022 and affirmed the City’s rating of AA/Stable for the 2013 Refunding Certificates of Participation at the same time. The City's Electric Revenue Bonds, Series 2018A and Series 2024A, are affirmed and rated 'AA-' by Fitch and S&P in September 2024. The City’s 2023 Wastewater Certificates of Participation was rated ‘AAA’ by S&P in September 2023. Maintaining high bond ratings has resulted in a broader market for the City’s bonds and lower interest costs to the City.

Above information are available and updated annually in the City’s Budget publication, in the Debt Service section, titled “Credit Rating”.

2. What is the debt service estimate change between now and the ballot measure? Is there any way to hedge should interest rates exceed assumptions used for the ballot tax statement? Response: Hedging activities are not allowed for tax-exempt bonds in accordance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations. The debt service estimated amounts are based on several assumption, including two key factors: interest rates and property assessed value. While interest rates are higher now than they were last July, the current pro-forma estimated debt service figures show a True Interest Cost (TIC) of 4.58%, which is within the estimated range used for the Measure I ballot. An assumed 4% annual growth rate on annual assessed value was used with the City’s average growth of 6.37% from 2000 to 2024.

See below parameter and its language on the ballot:
“Interest rates for each bond issue will be determined by the market, but cannot exceed 12%.

Assuming the full $400,000,000 is issued, using a projected interest rate between 4 and 5%,…” (Impartial Analysis)
Each series of bonds will be issued at fixed rates, rather than variable rates, and the TIC of each series of bonds will be established at the time of bond sale. Although the County is required to levy property taxes at a rate sufficient to pay annual debt service, City staff and consultants will size each series of bonds based on the prevailing interest rates at the time bonds are sold in order to stay within the property tax rates stated in the ballot and the tax rate statement.

Despite increases in interest rates, rates continue to be near historical averages. If interest rates at the time of the first bond sale substantially exceed assumptions used for the ballot tax statement, the City’s options are limited to mitigate the increase in rates. The City will have the opportunity to refund the bonds within 10 years after issuance depending on interest rates at that time.

3. What happens if actual project expenditures exceed planned amount, including contingencies?
Attachment 3
City Council Roles and Responsibilities In Connection with the Issuance of Measure I General Obligation Infrastructure Bonds
Responses to Questions from the 5/27/2025 Study Session Response: Should a capital project’s actual expenditures exceed budgeted amount, Department staff must reduce scope and/or identify additional or alternative funding sources for increases in appropriation by proposing such amendment for the Bond Compliance Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) review and recommendation to the City Council, per COC by-laws, and the related budget actions will require Council approval.

4. What is the procedure to prioritize and decide which capital projects are included in the 1st tranche of General Obligation Bonds (GO Bonds) issuance? Response: Tax-exempt bonds are meant to be issued to match cash spending needs. Federal tax laws require that, at the time bonds are issued, the City reasonably expect to spend 85% of bond proceeds within 3 years of bond issuance date. Recommended projects will be reviewed by the Capital Project Review Committee (PRC), which has depth and knowledge of the City’s procurement process and order of project implementation, to be included in the proposed 1st tranche project list. The proposed list will then be reviewed by the COC to ensure its compliance to the Expenditure Plan before presented to City Council for approval (estimated in August 2025).

Proposed list requires Council approval and once approved, will be budgeted and appropriated accordingly. Funding for design will be included in the capital projects budget in the 2nd and 3rd tranches of the GO Bonds issuances. Project lists for subsequent tranches will follow the same review and approval process.

5. What is the benefit of competitive sale method, especially during a volatile interest environment, as compared to the negotiated sale method? Response: Competitive Sales are well understood to be the best practice when an issuer is selling general obligation bonds and the credit rating is high, as this sale method produces the lowest TIC.

The City is a known issuer, in the investment community, of revenue pledged bonds with high credit ratings, as mention in Question No. 1 above. A general obligation bond issuance fully backed by ad valorem property taxes is very low risk and likely to generate high demand, especially in the City’s case of issuing GO Bonds for the first time in decades.

Per the City’s Debt Policy, should the Director of Finance conclude that determining the composition of the underwriter syndicate to achieve certain policy objectives is important, then a negotiated sale may be considered. If the Director of Finance selects a negotiated sale solely for policy reasons, then the specific rationale and criteria for selection should be clearly specified.

In addition to the “Official Notice of Sale”, a legal document distributed to potential underwriting financial institutions in a competitive sale process, a “Purchase Contract” will also be included at the same time for Council approval authorizing the GO Bonds sale. The Purchase Contract could be used if market conditions at the time the GO Bonds are sold are such that a competitive sale is determined by the City and the City’s financial advisor to be inadvisable and that a negotiated sale to an underwriter would produce a more favorable financing.

The City’s Debt Policy discusses bond sale methods for debt issuance and the merits of each. In a competitive sale, the Preliminary Official Statement (POS) and Official Notice of Sale are distributed to potential underwriters, who submit bids on a determined date though a secure on-line platform.

The underwriter whose bid represents the lowest TIC and is in compliance with the bid parameters is awarded the bonds. In a negotiated sale, an underwriter or underwriter syndicate is selected by Attachment 3

Responses to Questions from the 5/27/2025 Study Session the issuer. The interest rates and underwriter’s fee are negotiated prior to the sale, based on market conditions.

City of Santa Clara’s Wastewater Revenue bonds were successfully sold via a competitive sale in October 2023, during a turbulent interest rate environment, with 10 bidders and a winning TIC of

4.31%.

6. What is the timing and process for Preliminary Official Statement (POS) feedback from City Council?
Response: A POS is a document prepared by a municipal government in connection with a new issue of securities. It includes/discloses key information such as the purpose of the issue, the structure and repayment of the debt and the financial and economic characteristics of the issuing municipality. It is distributed to potential investors and underwriters for them to make an informed decision on whether to purchase the securities.

For the GO Bonds, the City has formed a working group, including staff from City Manager’s Office, City Attorney’s Office, Finance, and Public Works. This group collaborates with the appointed Bond Counsel (Jones Hall) and Financial Advisor (PFM), meeting regularly, to create the POS over several months, with multiple rounds of reviews and revisions for information accuracy and proper disclosures. The completed POS will be one of the legal documents for Council approval authorizing the GO Bonds sale, together with some of the other documents mentioned in Question No. 5 above. Staff currently plans to request Council authorization in December 2025.

This Council action will appear on the regular (not consent) agenda and follow the same procedures as all other agenda items, where the Council and the public will have the opportunity to review all documents and ask questions. In addition, the Council will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the POS to staff between the time the agenda packet is distributed and the Council action.
