CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF February 20, 2024 FY 2023-2024 Midyear Budget Review and Modifications

Page 2 of 8 ends

BACKGROUND
Annually, the midyear budget review process presents an opportunity to adjust forecasted revenues, appropriation amounts, and budget assumptions based on fiscal year-to-date actual information. The fiscal year (“FY”) 2023-24 budget was originally adopted in June 2023. Since the pandemic, the City has been adapting to a rapidly evolving economic landscape, profoundly shaped by shifts in consumer behavior that emerged in its wake.

This period has seen a slowdown in online sales, alongside a nominal growth in businessto-business transactions. Even with the downtrend, Sales Tax, and Transactions & Use Tax (Measure Y) revenues, which collectively constitute a significant share of our General Fund revenue, have exceeded our initial projections portion of our General Fund revenue, surpassing our initial forecasts.

The midyear adjustments being recommended have taken into account any potential disruption in the general economy that the current geopolitical climate may cause, staff will continue to monitor any adverse fluctuation in anticipated trends for the remaining part of the fiscal year.

ANALYSIS
General Fund
Revenues (Attachments A and B)
The originally adopted budget had a projected General Fund revenue of $93.4 million.

This includes “applied” General Fund revenues of $14.2 million derived from specific departments’ operations. The revised midyear budget forecast is $96.0 million, or $2.6 million more than originally estimated. The vast majority of revenue sources are anticipated to come within the targeted budget range – barring any potential economic disruption.

The recommended adjustments are for the City’s Sales Tax of $1.0 million and Measure Y of $600,000. Modest increases are also expected in Franchise taxes of $500,000, Utility User’s Tax (UUT) of $500,000, and Vehicle In Lieu taxes of $300,000, as follows:

 Sales Tax Revenue
o The State of California’s Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) disburses monies to counties and cities on a quarterly basis with advances paid monthly. Quarterly adjustments are made to reflect the actual funds collected. The Sales Tax is charged by the retailers who sell tangible property in the state. The tax is measured by gross receipts from retail sales at a rate of 10.5%. Effective April 1, 2019 the distribution of the tax of 10.5% is as follows: 8.5% to other governmental agencies and 2.0% to the City of Santa Fe Springs – 1% for Bradley-Burns and 1% for the Transaction & Use Tax (Measure Y).

o Historically, the City has benefitted greatly from the large business community and the sales tax revenue generated. During the Great Recession, however, the City’s revenues were disproportionately impacted by the downturn in the economy. Since then, modest gains have generally provided for a slow but steady rise. In FY 2022-23, sales tax revenue reached a record high of $39.9 million due to a shift in consumer spending during the pandemic. In addition, the favorable outcomes were in part impacted by the judgment of the Wayfair vs. South Dakota Supreme Court decision in 2018.
o As we are moving into the FY 2023-24, Sales tax receipts post-global pandemic experienced a drop in some of the biggest sectors; businesses & industries. Further losses were seen in light and heavy industrial, repair shops, electrical equipment, and medical/biotech. HdL Companies (HdL) reported a slight drop in estimate during the first quarter of the fiscal year.

Even though taxable sales for all of Los Angeles County declined by 2.4% over the prior year’s first quarter, HdL’s estimate for the City exceeded the budget’s initial estimate by approximately $1.0 million at $39.0 million. Staff is proposing an upward adjustment of $1.0 million reflecting HdL’s estimate.  Transactions & Use tax (Measure Y)
o In November 2018, the City of Santa Fe Springs voters approved a 1% transactions and use tax. The tax became effective April 1, 2019 with the first payment to the City beginning in June 2019. Transaction and use tax is essentially the same as the sales tax except that it is only subject to transactions delivered to customers within the City (i.e. point-of-destination) whereas sales tax applies to transactions originating within the City (i.e. point-of-sale).
o According to HdL, transactions and use tax generated approximately 44.1% of the Bradley Burns amount during the first quarter, led by a solid performance from general consumer goods. Transactions and use tax continued to trend favorably for the City. Staff anticipates an increase of $600,000 from the initial estimate.
 Utility Users’ Tax
o The Utility Users’ Tax (UUT) is imposed on every individual or entity using a utility within the City. Utilities subject to the tax include electricity, gas, and telephone (including cellular telephones). Individuals and entities using these utility services pay a tax rate of 5.0% on all charges made for such services.
o According to the Avenu Insights & Analytics (Avenu) forecast, the average U.S. retail price of electricity is projected to increase between 1.96% to CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF February 20, 2024 FY 2023-2024 Midyear Budget Review and Modifications

3.58% for residential and commercial and a slight decrease of .7% in the industrial sector. The market of supply and demand of natural gas continue to trend upward through a combination of low storage levels and increased demand during the winter season. Meanwhile, telecommunication revenues are forecasted to reflect a continued decrease due to competition among existing and new providers and the commoditization of products and services. Businesses are shifting to the utilization of streaming services as wired line usage is fast becoming obsolete. Based on the various factors, UUT is estimated to provide a slight increase of $500,000 to the initial estimate.
 Vehicle In Lieu Taxes
o Prior to the 2004 budget act, the vehicle license fee tax rate was 2% of the value of the vehicle. In 2004, the vehicle license fees were permanently eliminated and replaced with a similar amount of property taxes, dollar-fordollar. The amount increases annually in proportion to the growth in gross assessed valuation within the jurisdiction. In lieu of the growth in gross assessed value, staff is proposing an increase of $300,000 to the initial estimate.
 Applied Revenue (Departmental Revenues)
o Additionally, applied revenues (departmental revenues) in Fire Rescue will be adjusted- Fire’s emergency response reimbursements of $275,000, Environmental Protection plan check activities of $64,000, and Fire Prevention activities of $60,000. These increases were partially offset by decreases in Paramedic emergency medical assessment by ($40,000) and a reduction in ambulance cost recovery by ($80,000) (attachment C).

Expenditures (Attachments A and C)
The total budgeted expenditures and uses in the originally adopted budget were approximately $93.4 million; this included one-time transfers of $1.8 million to equipment replacement, capital improvement programs, and unfunded liability contributions. The proposed expenditure adjustments of $1.3 million resulted in a revised budget of $92.9 million or a 1.4% increase. While the net impact of the proposed adjustments results in a nominal increase, there are recommended adjustments in expenditures throughout departments.

The proposed adjustments include net funding for twelve (12) position adjustments in order to address needed staffing levels. This emerged subsequent to the initial budget adopted in June 2023 to recognize the need to address organizational structural needs and challenges such as:
 Continued progress requires a broader organizational structure; and CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF February 20, 2024 FY 2023-2024 Midyear Budget Review and Modifications

Page 5 of 8 ends

 Merging of two hourly employees to one full-time employee to address staffing needs at the full-time capacity.

The proposed personnel adjustments include:
 Funding for twelve (12) position adjustments including:
o Seven (7) new full-time positions; and
 Assistant City Manager
 Administrative Assistant II
 Program Coordinator
 Communication Specialist
 Community Development Director (*)
 Building Services and Housing Manager (*)
 Superintendent (*)
o Five (5) adjustments – including two (2) hourly positions to one (1) full-time position:
 Municipal Affairs Manager to Administrative Services Officer (*)  Executive Assistant to City Manager/City Council to Senior Executive Assistant (*)
 Parks & Recreation Manager to Parks & Recreation Director (*)  Two (2) hourly Finance Office Aides to one (1) full-time Administrative Assistant II
 Eliminate Economic Development Manager
The proposed personnel net adjustments of $539,100 for the above positions are detailed in Attachment C. The personnel job specifications for newly created positions (*) are in Attachment D, and the ranges for these positions are noted in the attached Salary Schedule (Attachment E).

Operationally, Staff also recommends an adjustment of $209,200 in the City Manager’s activity, which includes $50,000 for Information Technology staff augmentation, $29,200 to address the Public Records Act, $30,000 for employees’ physical examination and $100,000 for General Contractual services to provide assessments throughout the City.

The City’s Community Services Department is proposing an increase of $410,800 across all divisions. Community Services established a new Media and Communications activity that will focus on promoting the City’s Mission roles, including, but not limited to, community engagement, public awareness, brand building, communication, economic development, crisis management, community feedback, and data collection services, event/program promotion, enhancing legitimacy and trust, and policy advocacy. Staff requests an additional $71,500 for supplies, consultant help, and software to enhance Media and Communications Activity. Parks & Recreation is requesting $230,000 which includes $130,000 to staff new events/programming, $53,000 for supplies related to new events, $32,000 for increased contractual costs related to new programming, and $15,000 for supplies associated with the reopening of the aquatics center.

is requesting $125,000 for the TCH plaza wrap, a new Christmas tree, furniture for offices/conference room, replacement of the stage and canopy, and smart television for the Town Center Hall. The Library realizes a savings of $15,700 by replacing the underperforming database and services with more popular products.

The Fire-Rescue Department is requesting an adjustment of $255,000, which includes $105,000 for mechanical parts and $150,000 for the purchase of a mechanic vehicle to service fire engines. The recommended funding will cover the department’s needs for the remaining months of the fiscal year. Staff also recommends recognizing an additional $275,000 in Emergency Response Reimbursements from the strike team engagements, this is partially offset by a $120,000 decrease in paramedics-related emergency medical assessment fees and ambulance cost recovery due to a decrease in activity. In addition, the department also recognizes a $60,000 increase in fire permit revenue and $64,000 in environmental protection plan check and permit revenues corresponding to increasing activity.

Police Services is requesting an adjustment of $50,000 for police services consultant.

Public Works is requesting an adjustment of $405,000, which includes $160,000 increase in supplies and materials for various activities due to rising costs, $100,000 for fleet repair cost, $25,000 for transit services to supplement drivers, $20,000 for catch basin cleaning, $15,000 for vault cleaning of Imperial Highway, $75,000 a grade separation study of Norwalk Blvd/Los Nietos, $20,000 for overtime cost related to building regulation and public improvements, and $15,000 for augmentation of on-call services for permit engineering.

The originally adopted budget included an anticipated $1.8 million operating surplus (attachment A). Staff is now projecting a budget surplus of $3.1 million. However, there are no recommendations on the use of the additional funding at this time. Once the fiscal year-end results are available, staff will present recommendations to the City Council.

Water Utility Fund
The Water Utility Fund's originally adopted budget had a projected revenue of $16.7 million. The revised midyear budget forecast is $15.9 million, or $800,000 less than originally estimated. The recommended adjustment is based on the monthly consumption compared to the prior year’s.

The Water Utility Fund is requesting an adjustment of $110,000, which includes valve replacement, a Cedardale saw, A-C pipe/hazardous waste disposal, an increase in emergency on-call contractors, and recycled water line repair/relocation.

The originally adopted budget included an anticipated $149,900 operating deficit (attachment A). Staff is now projecting a budget deficit of $1.1 million.

DISCUSSION
Future Outlook
As discussed on previous occasions, staff continues to monitor ongoing economic and organizational issues as we look forward to developing the FY 2024-25 budget. These include:

Current Geopolitical Climate – The invasion of Ukraine by Russia presents an undeniable level of uncertainty in the economy. As with any conflict, there are lasting and spillover effects on the national and local economy that can linger for years to come.

CalPERS’ Unfunded Liability – The growth in the City’s Unfunded Liability is also a significant challenge. There are a number of reasons for the substantial increase in the unfunded liability, including a smaller City workforce relative to the number of retirees, CalPERS investment losses, a lower investment discount rate, a shorter amortization period, changes in mortality assumptions, and changing the unfunded liability payment from a percentage of payroll to a fixed amount each year. If investment performance does not meet expectations, the discount rate is lowered further, or other assumption changes are made, these rates could escalate even higher. City staff have established a Pension Trust Fund and will be developing a plan to mitigate future impacts on the City’s General Fund.

Infrastructure Funding – While there are funds and accounts that have been established by the City Council, the City will be challenged to provide an increased level of funding to address significant deferred maintenance needs moving forward.

Rising inflation – Inflation can also jeopardize the City’s favorable financial position as it is directly tied to the rising cost of acquiring items and services necessary to deliver local programs and services. Earlier in February, the United States Department of Labor reported that consumer prices rose by 3.1% in January from a year earlier versus a 3.4 % increase in December. While this change is somewhat positive, it was higher than the 2.9% that was originally projected. As a result of the consumer price index rising higher than initially anticipated, recent disinflation progress has stalled, and plans to reduce interest rates will possibly be delayed by the Federal Reserve.

FY 2024-2025 Operating Budget
Staff has started the preparation and development of the FY 2024-25 operating budget.

There are a variety of strategic assumptions that will be included in the upcoming budget to ensure the City’s long-term financial viability. For both the General and Water Utility Funds, it is anticipated that the operational changes implemented over the last several years will provide stability in the long term. Staff will continue to work with the City Council to continue the pursuit of internal operating efficiencies and strategies to minimize costs and impacts to City services while exploring new and innovative revenue ideas.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
The proposed FY 2023-24 mid-year adjustment is presented to the City Council for further input and direction. Staff will incorporate any further direction and input provided by the City Council.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: James Enriquez, P.E., Director of Public Works / City Engineer SUBJECT: POLICE SERVICES STAGING FACILITY STORM DAMAGE –

EMERGENCY REPAIRS
DATE: February 20, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Pursuant to Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code Section 34.23 and California Public Contract Code Section 22050, by a four-fifths vote authorize the repairs to proceed without competitive bidding; and
2) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The extent of the storm damage and the cost to repair the facility is not known at this time.

Staff is soliciting contractor proposals to complete demolition work in order to expose the damage so that it may be fully assessed. Staff will report at a future City Council meeting as information develops and the scope of the repairs is determined and priced.

BACKGROUND
The severe storms that hit Southern California the week of February 4, 2024 resulted in historic rainfall totals throughout the region prompting Governor Newsom to proclaim a state of emergency in various counties, including Los Angeles. The County of Los Angeles followed with the proclamation of a local state of emergency.

The intense and prolonged rainfall caused significant flooding of the City’s Police Services Staging Facility located adjacent to the Municipal Services Yard. Flooding was experienced in both the Men’s and Women’s Locker Rooms and Restroom/Showers as CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 20, 2024 POLICE SERVICES STAGING FACILITY STORM DAMAGE – EMERGENCY

REPAIRS

Page 2 of 3 ends

well as the adjacent gym. The flooding rendered these areas uninhabitable and in need of repairs before the space can be reoccupied.

Public Works maintenance staff worked throughout the storms to sweep and vacuum the water to minimize the extent of the flooding, but they were ultimately unable to keep up with the volume of water entering the building from the rear wall adjacent to the rail road right-of-way. Eventually, maintenance crews ceased water removal and began removing gym equipment and mats so that the source of the flooding could be more easily identified.

Although one location was identified where the majority of the water was entering the building, the extent of the flooding has saturated the walls in a significant portion of the facility. Under the City Manager’s authority pursuant to Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code Section 34.23, staff has begun contacting contractors to negotiate a scope of work to repair the damage.

The first step in the repair process requires demolition work to assess the full extent of the damage and expose the source of the flooding in order to develop a repair to prevent future flooding.

ENVIRONMENTAL
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
Staff has been in close communication with the City of Whittier’s City Manager and police administration since the flooding began. Given the extent of the flooding, the City of Whittier provided notice on February 7, 2024 that they will be temporarily vacating the facility until permanent repairs can be completed. Limited staff and equipment will be temporarily relocated to the City’s Police Services Building on Jersey Avenue and the majority of the patrol operations will be moved to the Whittier Police Station.

Although the extent of the repairs has not been fully assessed and is pending further investigation following demolition work, the repairs are currently estimated to take 3 to 6 months to complete. It should also be noted that this assumes the repairs are completed as an emergency without competitive bidding. Competitive bidding would require solicitation of services by an architect to develop plans and specifications. The solicitation process and the time to develop documents could add an additional year to the schedule.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Upon the approval of the City Council of the recommended actions, City staff will continue to coordinate the emergency repairs of the facility. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050, staff will provide updated reports at subsequent City Council meetings as CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 20, 2024 POLICE SERVICES STAGING FACILITY STORM DAMAGE – EMERGENCY

Instead, distributions from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) are received based on approved obligations. It is anticipated that sufficient allocations from the RPTTF will continue to be made to the Successor Agency to meet ongoing debt service obligations.

Unspent Bond Proceeds
Under an approved Bond Expenditure Agreement, unspent bond proceeds of the former CDC in the amount of approximately $19 million were transferred to the City in July 2014.

The funds are to be spent in accordance with the original bond documents. The unspent proceeds continue to be a source of funding within the City’s capital improvement program (CIP).
2016 Bond Refunding
In July 2016, the Successor Agency issued its 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, which paid off several bond issuances of the former CDC. The bonds were originally issued through the Public Financing Authority and included the 2001 Series A, 2002 Series A, 2003 Series A, the current interest portion of the 2006 Series A, and 2006 Series B bond issuances.
2017 Bond Refunding
In December 2017, the Successor Agency issued its 2017 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, which paid off the 2007 Tax Allocation Bonds of the former CDC. The 2007 Bonds were originally issued through the Public Financing Authority.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 20, 2024 Status Update of Water-Related Capital Improvement Projects PAGE 2 OF 3

DISCUSSION
Water Utility SCADA Programming and Maintenance Update
The Water Utility’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software and system components are vital in operating and monitoring the drinking water system pressure, imported water connections, and the City’s five underpass pump stations.

SCADA allows staff to remotely monitor and make changes to specific system parameters.

The City has received one proposal to bring in a qualified firm to assist the Water Utility Authority in meeting its normal SCADA operational and maintenance needs. The single proposal received has been rejected; staff will modify the RFQ before re-advertising it to ensure the City is able to select a firm that is not only well qualified, but will also be able to meet the City’s current and future needs. A firm within the Southern California region will be sought to ensure minimal downtime of any of the City’s critical infrastructure.

Water Well No. 2 Status Update
On July 20, 2021, the City Council approved awarding the contract to General Pump Company Inc. to assess Water Well No. 2. The contractor completed the initial assessment and has submitted to the City their final report, which confirmed one contaminant, and provided two scenarios for treatment. As part of the Water Utilities seven-year Capital Improvement Program to bring City-owned water wells into service, this project moves the City closer to becoming less dependent on imported water supplies.

The City has received one proposal for the engineering design of a temporary water treatment system for Water Well No. 2; the contract for Water Well No. 2 Treatment Engineering and Design was awarded to Hoch Consulting of Oceanside, California.

Staff has verified the City’s discharge permits and is working with Hoch Consulting to ensure the sampling procedures will be in compliance with water discharge permit requirements. City staff will be issuing Notice to Proceed (NTP) to Hoch Consulting to begin pilot testing so that a treatment system design can begin.

Water Well No. 12 Status Update
Drilled and constructed in August of 2012, the water produced by Water Well No. 12 has not met State and Federal drinking water standards due to various contaminants. The well has been evaluated several times over the last several years with no decision to implement treatment. With new and emerging contaminants of concern detected in water wells throughout the region, it is imperative to fully assess the current water quality produced by Water Well No. 12 to ensure a treatment system is designed to meet all Federal and State water quality requirements.

The City has received one proposal for the assessment of Water Well No. 12 and preparation of technical specifications to aid in the design of a treatment system; the contract for the Water Well No. 12 Assessment was awarded to Best Environmental CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 20, 2024 Status Update of Water-Related Capital Improvement Projects PAGE 3 OF 3
Subsurface Sampling Technologies (BESST) Inc. of San Rafael, California. Before assessment work can begin, staff needs to modify existing piping at the Water Well No. 12 site to allow for full-flow testing; this work includes adding a secondary discharge line to the storm drain to ensure compliance with discharge permits. Staff received two quotes for the temporary drain line work and will award the temporary discharge line work to the lowest bidder. Once the temporary drain line work is complete the assessment of Water Well No. 12 will begin.
