From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Water Resources Subject: Award Bid and Enter Into an Agreement with Yellow Jacket Drilling Services, LLC for the Construction of Two Replacement Groundwater Supply Wells Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Award Bid #SP2663 to Yellow Jacket Drilling Services, LLC for the drilling of two replacement groundwater supply wells;
2. Adopt determination that the project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 (Class 2 – Replacement/ Reconstruction;
3. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Yellow Jacket Drilling Services, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $4,854,450 (including a $231,165 contingency); and

Summary
Two of the City’s groundwater production wells at the Charnock Well Field, Charnock Well 13 (CH-13) and Charnock Well 18 (CH-18), need to be replaced to maintain groundwater production and resiliency to preserve the City’s ability to reliably deliver safe, clean potable water to our customers. Access to groundwater helps the City reduce its reliance on imported water supplies that have been severely impacted by ongoing drought conditions across the southwest United States. Due to their age and multiple rehabilitation/repairs over their operating lives, both groundwater production wells have experienced a significant decrease in production capacity. Replacement of the two groundwater production wells is part of the City’s overall plan to enhance the resiliency of the local water supply and reduce reliance on imported water supplies. The
3.A
Packet Pg. 16
2 of 5
well replacement project is funded by Water Revenue Bonds issued in August 2021.
Staff solicited bids for drilling and constructing two groundwater supply wells to replace CH-13 and CH-18 and recommends awarding bid #SP2663 to Yellow Jacket Drilling Services, LLC.
Discussion
The Charnock Well Field is the City’s largest source of local groundwater supply. CH-13 (constructed in 1966) and CH-18 (constructed in 1984) have experienced ongoing maintenance issues, including extended outages of approximately nine months within the last two years, and production capacity has decreased significantly (35% reduction for CH-13 and 45% reduction for CH-18). The two Charnock Wells, which account for nearly 35% of the City’s total groundwater production capacity, are both well beyond their useful lives. Replacing the two aging wells would restore local groundwater production at the two wells to their original production capacity. Production of local groundwater has historically been 30% cheaper than purchasing imported water supplies for potable use.
The agreement with Yellow Jacket Drilling Services, LLC would complete the first phase of the well replacement project, which includes the drilling of two groundwater supply wells to replace CH-13 and CH-18. Drilling of the two replacement wells is expected to be completed before summer of 2023. During drilling operations, the City would need to turn off the entire Charnock Well Field to minimize water quality impacts to the groundwater aquifer and would result in an increase in imported water purchase during this time. Design for the second phase of the well replacement project, which includes the mechanical equipping of the replacement wells, is underway and will be finalized once the first phase of the well drilling is complete. It is estimated that the well replacement project will be completed by fall 2024. Replacing the two aging groundwater production wells would assist the City in enhancing the resiliency in its groundwater supply and maximizing groundwater production within sustainable yield limits to reduce the City’s reliance on imported water supplies. The replacement wells would be located in the Charnock Well Field, near the existing CH-13 and CH-18 locations.

(Attachment A)
Council authorized issuance of Water Enterprise revenue bonds Public Outreach
The Charnock Well Field is located in West Los Angeles on property owned by the City of Santa Monica. The property is currently being leased to Windward School, a private college preparatory school. The Water Resources Division has coordinated with Windward School representatives throughout the development of this project, including two meetings held on December 2, 2021, and March 22, 2022, to discuss the construction timing and logistics.
The CH-13 and CH-18 replacement wells would be located in the Windward School parking lot and perimeter of the sports field, respectively. During construction, a portion of the parking lot and sports field would need to be temporarily closed. Windward School staff has begun identifying temporary parking locations to make up for the temporary loss of parking and planning for the closure of the sports field during construction.
Environmental Analysis
The project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 (Class 2 – Replacement/Reconstruction), which provides exemptions for the replacement/reconstruction of existing facilities, including the replacement of existing utility systems involving negligible or no capacity expansion. The replacement wells would be designed to the original design capacity of CH-13 and CH-18 and would not represent an increase in the City’s groundwater production capacity.
In addition, none of the exceptions specified in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines would apply that would preclude use of this CEQA exemption. The project site is not located in a sensitive environment, would not have a significant effect on the

environment, would not damage scenic resources, would not be located on a hazardous waste site, and would not cause a change to a historical resources.

Additional Vendor Outreach & Justification to Award
The bid for this project was posted on the City’s online bidding site and advertised in the Santa Monica Daily Press. In addition, staff contacted seven potential well drilling contractors upon release of the bid. Staff provided two dates for prospective contractors to attend a mandatory pre-bid job walk, with a total of four contractors attending.
Contractors who attended a pre-bid job walk but did not submit a bid stated the City’s mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirement as the reason for not bidding on this project.
Staff evaluated the sole bid from Yellow Jacket Drilling Services, LLC based on the criteria in SMMC 2.24.180, including price, previous experience, ability to deliver, quality of product, and compliance with City specifications.

Agenda Item: 3.B

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Edward F King, Director, Department of Transportation, Transit Maintenance Subject: Award Bid and Execute a Purchase Order with Toxguard to provide coolant for Department of Transportation transit buses
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Award Bid #4405 to Toxguard Fluid Technologies for the purchase of pre-mixed coolant for heavy-duty engines in transit buses for the Department of Transportation;
2. Authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a purchase order with Toxguard Fluid Technologies for heavy-duty engine coolant in the amount not to exceed $394,925, which includes a $35,902 contingency, over a five-year period with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval.
Summary
The City of Santa Monica’s Department of Transportation (DOT), Big Blue Bus (BBB) division, currently operates 176 transit buses fueled by renewable natural gas and 19 battery electric transit buses. These vehicles require liquid coolant to ensure their natural gas engines and battery systems remain at safe operating temperatures and to ensure that the vehicles are maintained in good operating condition. Through normal operation, coolant becomes contaminated and needs to be replaced as part of DOT’s preventative maintenance process. Staff recommends awarding bid #4405 to Toxguard Fluid Technologies for the purchase and delivery of pre-mixed coolant for transit buses in an amount not to exceed $394,925 over a five-year period including a 10% contingency.
3.B
Packet Pg. 23

Discussion
Santa Monica’s DOT purchases high quality coolants that comply with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications and standards to protect its transit bus engine and battery systems. Coolant on transit buses maintains engine and battery temperatures at an optimal operating condition, preventing excess temperatures from damaging critical operating components. The periodic replacement of coolant with OEM-approved fluids ensures reliability and operating efficiency of transit buses and extends the cost-effective useful life of the City’s bus fleet. The natural gas engines and battery-electric bus (BEB) battery packs require specific coolant fluids to achieve their expected lifecycles and to meet the equipment manufacturer’s warranty terms.
Bid #4405 was posted on January 28, 2021. Staff initially estimated that purchases under this bid would not exceed the threshold for Council authority, as the estimate was for approximately $50,000. An award was made to Toxguard on an interim basis to better evaluate the volume of product needed. However, as service levels increased after COVID, more coolant than initially anticipated was required, and the first year’s expenditures were higher than forecasted and a multi-year contract would require Council authority. Funds in the amount of $58,065 were expended in the first year of the bid term.
Staff recommends that a formal award be made to Toxguard and seeks Council authority for the remaining four years of the bid term.
The award of bid #4405 would enable DOT to perform regular preventative maintenance to ensure its fleet of transit buses remains in a state of good repair. During normal operation, engine coolant deteriorates as it cools engines and accumulates contaminates that could damage engine components. Every 24,000 miles, transit buses have their coolant fluids changed to prevent engines from sustaining undue wear.

City Council Meeting: May 24, 2022
Agenda Item: 3.C
1 of 4
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Architecture Services Subject: Approval of Second Modification to Agreement #3438 with Fleming Environmental for Urgent Repairs to the Veeder Root System of Underground Fuel Storage Tanks
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a second modification to agreement #11099 (CCS) (formerly CT# 3438) in the amount of $182,000 (including contingency) with Fleming Environmental Inc., to perform an urgent repair to the Underground Storage Tank (UST) monitoring system at the Public Safety Facility (PSF) along with additional funding for maintenance and repair on the 13 other sites located in the City. This would result in a five-year amended agreement with a new total amount not to exceed $353,730, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval.
Summary
Since 2018, the City has contracted with Fleming Environmental, Inc. (Fleming) for the routine inspection and repair of City-owned Underground Storage Tanks (UST). These tanks are used to store fuel for backup generators and other equipment and must meet certain Fire Life Safety criteria to be certified for use. Several critical deficiencies were identified for the UST at the Public Safety Facility (PSF) and the Santa Monica Fire Marshall has deemed the monitoring system for the UST as non-compliant. If these repairs are not made, the City would not be able to fuel the PSF emergency generator needed to supply power to crucial emergency response systems during a power outage.
The repairs identified in the inspections exceed the current scope of anticipated work, so additional funds are requested to address these critical issues at PSF along with additional funding for maintenance and repair on the 13 other City UST sites. This
3.C

2 of 4
second modification is seeking authority to increase the contract by $182,000 for a total contract amount Not to Exceed (NTE) $353,730 through 2023.
Discussion
The City Hall Campus (Historic City Hall, City Hall East, and the PSF) are all on an emergency generator backup and the fuel for those generators is stored in USTs. The USTs containing diesel and unleaded fuel are located at 14 sites throughout the City, and in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements, underground storage tanks and components must be regularly inspected and tested. Fleming is the City’s current service provider for inspection and repair. This vendor performs both Designated Operator Services (which include monthly inspections, staff training, and alarm documentation) and Secondary Containment Testing every three years to determine that no leaks occur from primary containment. During inspections conducted at the PSF last year, Fleming identified several issues, such as alarm panels in a nonmonitored area, discontinuation of manufacturer’s system support, and several malfunctioning sensors. Further, the Santa Monica Fire Marshall declared that the issues must be addressed or PSF would be out of compliance and the emergency generators would be taken out of service, as the fuel source would not be available. The first modification to the contract was authorized by Council to cover necessary repairs identified for the UST at the PSF and extend routine inspection services. After excavating the buried tank at the PSF, the necessary repairs were found to be more extensive than anticipated, hence this second modification request.
Vendor Selection
Fleming was selected from six vendors that responded to formal bid 4337 on March 29, 2018. A five-year professional services agreement not to exceed $80,000 was executed in FY 2018-19 (Attachment A). Council approval was not required in accordance with the City’s procurement policy. The first modification in the amount of $91,730 increased the total not to exceed amount from $80,000 to $171,730 to cover necessary repairs for the UST at the PSF, routine inspection, testing, and maintenance as well as an average of two service repairs to each UST (Attachment B) only. This request is to award a second modification to cover the critical and unexpected costs ($142,690) for the

identified repairs at the USTs at the PSF, along with providing enough budget for maintenance and repair to the other 13 UST sites in the City through the end of the contract’s five-year term on June 30, 2023. Staff would competitively bid a new contract in early 2023, but this repair work is crucial and must be completed immediately.

From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Engineering and Street Services
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Declaring Intention to Establish a Pedestrian Mall on a Portion of First Court Between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Avenue
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt a Resolution of Intent declaring the Council’s intent to establish a Pedestrian Mall along a southern portion of 1st Court between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Avenue;
2. Adopt the determination that the action to approve the Resolution of Intent to establish the Pedestrian Mall is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15061 (b)(3); and
3. Set a public hearing for September 27, 2022 to consider the establishment of the proposed Pedestrian Mall along a southern portion of 1st Court between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Avenue.
Summary
The Pedestrian Mall Law of 1960, California Streets and Highways Code Sections 11000 et seq. (the “Pedestrian Mall Law”), authorizes municipalities to close streets to vehicular traffic and establish pedestrian malls. Under the Pedestrian Mall Law, the City may consider establishing a pedestrian mall along a southern portion of First Court between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Avenue (the “Pedestrian Mall”). If approved, the Pedestrian Mall would remain as a public right-of-way designated for pedestrian use. Adoption of a Resolution of Intent is the first step in the process for establishment of a pedestrian mall under the Pedestrian Mall Law. The Resolution of Intent sets a public hearing date of September 27, 2022 for the consideration of the
3.D
Packet Pg. 56
2 of 6
establishment of the Pedestrian Mall. As required by law, the City must provide a 90- day notice of the public hearing. If adopted by Council, a public Notice of Intent to establish the Pedestrian Mall and to close the portion of First Court to vehicle traffic would be recorded and posted on the impacted alley segments and mailed to the public.
Background
The Pedestrian Mall Law of 1960, California Streets and Highways Code Sections 11000 et seq. (the “Pedestrian Mall Law”), authorizes municipalities to close streets to vehicular traffic and establish pedestrian malls. The City of Santa Monica (“City”) used this law to establish the Third Street Mall in 1963 to create a pedestrian zone that has added to the vitality and vibrancy of Downtown Santa Monica, and it has served the public interest and not unduly inconvenienced vehicular traffic.
The City’s Land Use and Circulation Element of its General Plan (the “LUCE”) adopted in 2010 designates the properties located in Santa Monica’s Downtown District on the north side of Santa Monica Boulevard between Ocean Avenue and Second Street (commonly known as 101 Santa Monica Boulevard, 1337 Ocean Avenue, 1333 Ocean Avenue, 1327 Ocean Avenue, and 129 Santa Monica Boulevard) as a project site (referenced hereinafter as “the Project Site”) to attract new investment given its accessibility to transit and ability to accommodate mixed-use development, contribute to the pedestrian-oriented environment, and support substantial community benefits (LUCE Policy D1.5). The LUCE prioritizes the pedestrian environment above other modes of travel in the Downtown District and discourages north – south alley access to and from Santa Monica Boulevard in an effort to explore alternate routing (LUCE Policy B4.14 and p. 4.0-18). The LUCE also strives for the City to improve the aesthetic appearance of the alleys and incorporate the alleys into the pedestrian system when and where appropriate (LUCE Policy D9.6).
Discussion
Purpose for a Proposed Pedestrian Mall
A development agreement application is pending for a mixed-use development on the Project Site. Key considerations for considering establishment of the Pedestrian Mall

included that the owner owns all property abutting the portion of First Court, a public alley that currently allows for one-way vehicular travel southbound from Arizona Avenue to Santa Monica Boulevard and proposed for closure.
If developed, that portion of First Court alley adjacent to the Project Site could be prioritized for pedestrian use by establishment of the Pedestrian Mall. If established, the Pedestrian Mall would necessitate the rerouting of southbound vehicular travel on First Court to Second Street (rather than to Santa Monica Boulevard) via a new midblock, one-way, east-bound connection as depicted in Figure 1. This redirected portion of the public alley would be located on private property.
Figure 1 – Map showing the proposed Pedestrian Mall along First Court adjacent to Santa Monica Boulevard
As the result of these discussions, City Staff recommends the establishment of a Pedestrian Mall on the relevant portion of First Court alley pursuant to the Pedestrian
3.D
Packet Pg. 58
4 of 6
Mall Law of 1960 (Streets & Highways Code Sections 11000, et seq.). By establishing the proposed Pedestrian Mall, First Court would remain a public right-of-way. If the Pedestrian Mall is established, the property owner has agreed to improve and maintain the Pedestrian Mall.
Access and Circulation
A proposed Resolution of Intent (Attachment A) states that the City Council, pursuant to the Pedestrian Mall Law, declares its intention to establish a Pedestrian Mall located on a portion of First Court between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Avenue. The Pedestrian Mall would remain a public right-of-way and be closed to all motorized vehicular traffic, with the exception of occasional deliveries, emergency vehicles, public utility and infrastructure maintenance during limited timeframes. A clear emergency access pathway along the center of the Pedestrian Mall would be required to allow for Fire, Emergency Medical Services, and Police access.
Furthermore, the owner would be required to construct and maintain, at the owner’s expense, a new eastbound leg of the public alley within a portion of the Project Site so that vehicles traveling southbound down First Court would be able to exit onto Second Street within the owner’s property.
The City would retain its regulatory powers and rights pertaining to the use, maintenance and operations of the Pedestrian Mall. If and when the City were to terminate the Pedestrian Mall in the future, vehicular access would then return over the relevant portion of First Court alley and the eastbound leg of the public alley easement to be located across the Project Site would be terminated.
Process for Establishing the Proposed Pedestrian Mall
The Pedestrian Mall Act requires the City to notify the public, including potentially affected property owners and tenants, prior to the City Council’s ultimate decision whether to establish the Pedestrian Mall.
3.D
Packet Pg. 59

Staff is bringing forward this Resolution of Intent for the Council’s consideration and adoption as it is a required first step in the process before the City Council can move forward with a public hearing to decide whether to close a portion of First Court between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Avenue for the creation of a Pedestrian Mall.
Among other things, the Resolution of Intent sets a future public hearing date of September 27, 2022 at 5:30 pm for the City Council’s decision on the establishment of the proposed Pedestrian Mall, including hearing any protests or objections and claims relating to the establishment of the Pedestrian Mall.
This Pedestrian Mall would only be established if the owner’s proposed development agreement has been approved by the City Council and is in effect. Staff is scheduled to present the development Agreement for Council consideration and approval on July 12, 2022, and then will return for a final determination on establishing the Pedestrian Mall on September 27, 2022.
This scheduling approach allows for notification in accordance with the Pedestrian Mall Law, which requires that a noticed public hearing be held 90 days after Council adopts a resolution of intention to establish a Pedestrian Mall (and said document is recorded by Los Angeles County).
Public Outreach
Following adoption of the Resolution of Intent to establish the Pedestrian Mall, City staff would provide notice of the proposed Pedestrian Mall and September 27, 2022 public hearing date, as further described, below.
The City Engineer would be directed to post and mail this approved Resolution of Intent, and have it recorded as required by Streets and Highways Code. Specific steps would include:
1. By June 23, 2022 or no later than 30 days following this Council meeting, the Resolution of Intent must be recorded with Los Angeles County. Copies of the recorded notice would be posted 90 days prior to the City Council’s September 27, 2022 public hearing.

6 of 6
2. No later than August 12, 2022, a public notice that would include a copy of the recorded Resolution of Intent would be mailed to provide the public a 45-day notice prior to the City Council’s September 27, 2022 public hearing.
Other Considerations/Legal Requirements
The City does not intend to form an assessment district to pay for the proposed improvements, and instead will require the project developer to improve and maintain the proposed Pedestrian Mall to the City’s satisfaction.
Environmental Review
The action to approve the Resolution of Intent to establish the Pedestrian Mall is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15061 (b)(3) because the adoption of the Resolution of Intent does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment since it merely initiates the required noticing period for the public hearing and sets the public hearing date for consideration of the establishment of the Pedestrian Mall.
Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the recommended actions.

Agenda Item: 3.E
1 of 3
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Lori Gentles, Chief People Officer, Human Resources Department Subject: Approval of Modification to Agreement with Barry W. Leeder, Inc., dba Collections Plus for Drug and Alcohol Collection (Testing) Services Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a first modification to agreement #10724 (CCS) in the amount of $595,000 with Barry W. Leeder Inc. dba Collections Plus, A California based Corporation for professional drug and alcohol testing services for all departments. This will result in a nine-year amended agreement with a new total amount not to exceed $917,820, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval.
Summary
In accordance with the federal Drug-Free Workplace Act (41 U.S.C. 81) and the federal Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations on drug and alcohol testing programs in transportation workplaces at 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 40, 382, and 655, the City is required to conduct pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, and follow-up drug and alcohol testing annually for, but not limited to, commercial drivers performing safety-sensitive functions who are covered by DOT and FMCSA regulations. The City currently has 69 job classifications and approximately 500 employees subject to DOT regulations. Due to higher than anticipated recruitment needs and to ensure the availability of testing longer term, staff seek to modify the existing contract to extend the agreement by four years and raise the amount authorized under the agreement by $595,000 that will result in a total contract amount not to exceed $917,820.

Discussion
Collections Plus has provided drug and alcohol testing collection services for the City of Santa Monica since 2013 and most recently entered into an agreement for testing services in 2018, which will expire in 2023. Due to the increases in hiring of positions subject to DOT and FMCSA regulations due to turnover, the City will exceed the existing approved purchasing authority before the current agreement expires on July 21, 2023. In order to maintain compliance with legally required drug and alcohol testing without disruption, and be operationally efficient, staff is asking City Council to approve extending the contract amount by $595,000, and extending the term by four years.
The Human Resources Department holds the contract with this vendor. Departments are charged for testing incurred by their employees as invoices are received and they budget for these expenses accordingly.
Vendor Selection
In 2013 and 2018, the Human Resources department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for drug and alcohol testing collection services. In both instances, Collections Plus was the only vendor to submit a proposal. Because the City operates around the clock, the City’s requirements of vendors for drug and alcohol testing services includes the ability to provide services 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 52 weeks/year including holidays at a collection site that is local and convenient to most City facilities.
Collections Plus meets such requirements by offering a mobile collection service and direct immediate access to collectors to meet service needs of City departments.

Discussion
Collections Plus has been providing drug and alcohol testing collection services for the City of Santa Monica since 2013. In 2015 and 2017, City staff made requests to Council for modifications to the existing agreement. Following conclusion of the 2013 agreement with Collections Plus, the Human Resources Department issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for drug and alcohol testing collection services. In June 2018, the RFP was posted on the City’s online bidding site. Collections Plus was the only vendor

to submit a written proposal. This is similar to what occurred in February 2013, when the City issued an RFP for drug and alcohol testing collection services, and Collections Plus was the only bidder.
Vendor Selection
Because the City operates around the clock, the City’s requirements of vendors for drug and alcohol testing services includes the ability to provide services 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 52 weeks/year including holidays at a collection site that is local and convenient to most City facilities. Collections Plus meets such requirements by offering a mobile collection service and direct immediate access to collectors to meet service needs of City departments.

Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Award RFP #307 to PXL for user experience, development and other services; to The Glue for user experience, development and other services; and, to WeUsThem for user experience, development and other services;
2. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute agreements with: PXL to perform as needed user experience, graphic design and other services in an amount not to exceed $95,000 over a 5-year period, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval; with The Glue to perform as needed user experience, graphic design and other services in an amount not to exceed $95,000 over a 5-year period, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval; and, with WeUsThem to perform as needed user experience, graphic design and other services in an amount not to exceed $95,000 over a 5-year period, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval.
Summary
The City of Santa Monica is in the final stages of transitioning all City websites under a single domain to santamonica.gov and the City’s new website. In order to successfully support this transition, the Information Services Department (ISD) seeks to hire three user experience development firms to assist the City. In order to support this transition, ISD seeks to work with the recommended vendors to perform a complete review of the City’s website to ensure a consistent user experience across all City web pages, online services are user friendly and ensure that the City’s new website meets Americans with
3.F
Packet Pg. 93
2 of 5
Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. ISD recommends procuring services from these three vendors because each brings a different specialized expertise that will be required to complete the website, meet the diverse needs of our community, and provide an optimal user experience across all service areas.
Discussion
As part of the City’s website redesign, ISD seeks to hire three separate vendors to assist in the development of the City’s website to enhance the digital experience for visitors, businesses and residents of the City. Additionally, the Big Blue Bus, Library, City Council, and Boards and Commissions websites will introduce new functionalities such as providing one of the nation’s first fully ADA compliant online bus route planners, a streamlined and consistent user interface across all boards and commissions, and new search and filter capabilities. Integrating these sites into the santamonica.gov web presence will ensure visitors to the City’s website experience a consistent user experience across all City sites, web pages are responsive and mobile-compatible and meet ADA requirements. In order to bring these new functionalities into the City’s new website, ISD will partner with the selected vendors to complete the front-end design and development work. Once this project is complete, the City can officially shut down all other website domains outside of santamonica.gov. Decommissioning additional website domains will reduce maintenance requirements and related expenses.
The City solicited bids to provide as needed development, website page design, ADA compliance review, and user experience support for the City’s website project. After interviewing each of the vendors, ISD determined that it was in the best interest of the City to enter into three separate vendor agreements due to the unique areas of expertise of each of the selected vendors. Selecting multiple vendors would allow the ISD to deliver various components of the website in a timely and cost-effective way:
• PXL will focus on front-end development and the overall look and feel of the City’s website.

• The Glue will help bring new functionality to the City’s website by designing boards and commission pages and providing input on transportation pages.
• WeUsThem will focus on the review of the website’s accessibility and work with the City to implement best practices according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
In distributing this specialized work, ISD can best leverage each firm’s expertise to achieve the best outcomes for the City’s website.

Report
City Council Meeting: May 24, 2022
Agenda Item: 3.G
1 of 5
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Susan Cola, Interim City Attorney, City Attorney's Office, Administration Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Making AB 361 Findings Regarding Teleconference Meetings
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that Council adopt a resolution making the findings required by AB 361 to continue teleconference meetings of the City Council and City Boards, Commissions, and Task Forces through June 23, 2022.
Discussion
AB 361 authorizes public agencies to conduct meetings by teleconference, including video conference, without compliance with all of the Brown Act’s limitations on such meetings, while a state of emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic remains active and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
Initial reliance on AB 361 required the following: (1) there must be a proclaimed state of emergency; and (2) one of the following circumstances exist – (a) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (b) the legislative body has determined by majority vote that, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risk to the health or safety of attendees. See Government Code Section 54953(e)(1) (all citations herein are to the Government Code). Once the initial invocation of AB 361 is made, continued reliance on AB 361 for subsequent meetings requires the following: (1) either the proclaimed state of emergency remains active or state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social
3.G
Packet Pg. 103
2 of 5
distancing; and (2) not later than 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time under the AB 361 rules, and every 30 days thereafter, the legislative body, by majority vote, finds that it has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency and at least one of the following circumstances exists – (a) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person or (b) state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. See Section 54953(e)(3). Both of the conditions to continue to rely on AB 361 are presently satisfied. The Governor’s State of Emergency Declaration, issued on March 4, 2020, and the City’s declaration of a local emergency issued March 13, 2020, as supplemented and modified through the 42nd Supplement, remain in place and have not been lifted. And, the most recent Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Order of the Health Officer, issued April 21, 2022, (“Health Officer Order” or “HOO”), continues to recommend social distancing as one measure to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
The Requirements of AB 361.
If a public agency invokes AB 361, the notice and participation requirements for teleconferenced meetings are as follows: (1) each notice of the meeting and agenda must identify the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment by either a call-in option or an internet-based service option; (2) teleconferenced meetings must be conducted in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public appearing before the legislative body; (3) public comments cannot be required to be submitted in advance of the meeting (though this may remain an option); (4) the public must be able to attend the meeting via call-in option or internet-based service option; (5) the public must have an opportunity to address the legislative body directly and offer comment in real time via call-in option or internet-based service option; (6) if there is a disruption that prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting using the call-in option or internet-based service option, or if there is a disruption within the public agency’s control that prevents members of the public from offering public comments using the call-in option or internet3.G Packet Pg. 104
3 of 5
based service option, the legislative body shall take no further action on items appearing on the agenda until public access to the meeting via the call-in option or internet-based service option is restored; and (7) where, as in Santa Monica, the legislative body does not provide a timed public comment period but takes public comment separately on each agenda item, it shall allow a reasonable amount of time per agenda item to allow public members the opportunity to provide public comment, including time for members of the public to be recognized for the purpose of providing public comment. See Section 54953(e)(2).
The Current Findings Post-Winter Surge.
While not experiencing the high case levels and positivity rates as seen during the height of the winter surge, the most recent Health Officer Order indicates that Los Angeles County is currently experiencing increases in COVID-19 cases and test positivity rates and related hospitalizations are no longer in decline, which may be attributed to the more transmissible BA.2 subvariant spreading in LA County.
Indeed, as of May 13, 2022, LA County is reporting 4,025 new positive cases, the highest number of new positive cases reported on a single day since February 18, 2022. The HOO continues to focus the public health response to COVID-19 in Los Angeles County, among other things, to protect the most vulnerable among us and strongly recommends masks, regardless of vaccination status, in indoor public settings. In particular, the HOO explains that “[m]asks are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings.” Members of Boards and Commissions previously voiced concern about being required to return to in-person meetings given that, as validated by the Health Officer Order, many people, including those with identified underlying medical conditions, unvaccinated older adults, people from ethnic and racial minority groups, remain at risk for severe illness from COVID-19 (more likely to be hospitalized, need intensive care, require a ventilator to help them breathe, or die).
Accordingly, on March 22, April 12, and May 10, 2022, the City Council adopted findings under AB 361 to allow Boards and Commissions to elect to continue meeting remotely. The findings proposed by the attached resolution will allow
3.G
Packet Pg. 105
4 of 5
Boards and Commissions to continue to elect to meet remotely through June 23, 2022.
In light of AB 361, the continuing COVID-19 emergency, the continuing recommendations by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health of social distancing as one mechanism for preventing the spread of COVID-19, and the continued threats to health and safety posed by indoor public meetings with large attendance, staff recommends that Council adopt the proposed resolution making the findings required to continue to invoke AB 361. Doing so will allow City Council and City Board, Commission, and Task Force meetings to continue to occur by teleconference after June 23, 2022 (which is when the AB 361 resolution adopted on May 10, 2022 will expire) without compliance with the teleconferencing requirements set out in Section 54953(b)(3) that would otherwise apply. An additional resolution will be required to be adopted at the Council meeting on June 14, 2022 to ensure continued compliance with the 30-day findings requirement for Board and Commission meetings to be held after June 23, 2022, given that the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting is on June 28, 2022.
The procedures that were set up for City Council meetings when it held meetings remotely, providing for public attendance and comment through a call-in or internet-based service option, satisfy the requirements of AB 361. The City Clerk will work with City Boards, Commissions, and Task Forces to ensure that their meeting procedures for all meetings conducted after May 24, 2022 similarly comply with the requirements of AB 361.
As indicated above, although the attached AB 361 Resolution authorizes all Boards and Commissions to continue to meet remotely, a Board or Commission can affirmatively decide to meet in person, just as the City Council recently decided for itself. In other words, for Boards and Commissions, the default will be remote meetings unless and until any decision to meet in person. As indicated above, the Council will need to make AB 361 findings anew every 30 days to permit this option to continue.

Agenda Item: 3.H
1 of 4
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Susan Cola, Interim City Attorney, City Attorney's Office, Administration Subject: Adoption of Resolution Ratifying COVID-19 Emergency Proclamation and Supplements
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that Council adopt the proposed resolution ratifying the Executive Order issued by the Director of Emergency Services declaring the existence of a local emergency in the city of Santa Monica and the Supplements to that Order.
Executive Summary
In response to Federal, State, and County official and health agency guidance, on behalf of the City, the City Manager declared a Local Emergency on March 13, 2020 due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Council initially ratified the Proclamation of Local Emergency on March 19, 2020, and re-ratified on April 6, April 14, May 12, May 26, June 9, June 23, July 14, July 28, September 8, October 27, 2020, and December 15, 2020, and January 26, March 23, effective May 22, July 13, August 24, 2021, October 26, 2021, December 7, 2021, and March 8, 2022. As the City’s Director of Emergency Services, the City Manager has issued a total of 42 supplements to the Executive Order, with specific regulations and policies to protect the health and safety of Santa Monica residents, workers, businesses, and visitors.
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom issued a proclamation that suspended and waived the 60-day time period in Government Code 8630 within which local governmental authorities must renew a local emergency for the duration of this statewide emergency. Nonetheless, it remains a best practice for the City Council to ratify all supplements to the Executive Order as soon as practicable pursuant to
3.H
Packet Pg. 114
2 of 4
SMMC section 2.16.100, which requires that “rules and regulations” issued by the Director of Emergency Services be “confirmed at the earliest practicable time by the City Council.” In addition, the City’s Forty-Second Supplement to its Local Emergency Order, which extended the supplements in place for a five-month period through June 30, 2022, requires the City Council to ratify the need for continuing the local emergency due to COVID-19 every 60 days. Accordingly, this staff report recommends re-ratifying the Proclamation of Local Emergency as of May 7, 2022 (the date 60 days from the last ratifying resolution), as well as reratifying all of the previously ratified supplements that remain in effect.
Discussion
The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has spread across the globe since the first cases were reported in January 2020. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that certain populations were at particular risk from COVID-19 and that widespread transmission would result in large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time, affecting our healthcare systems and other critical infrastructure. The World Health Organization (WHO) described the outbreak as a “public health emergency of international concern” on January 30, 2020.
In response, federal, state, and local authorities took action. On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway, and help the State prepare for the broader spread of COVID-19. That same day, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and Department of Public Health declared a local emergency and local public health emergency to aid the regional healthcare and governmental community in responding to COVID-19. WHO upgraded COVID-19 to a pandemic on March 11, 2020.
On March 13, 2020, the City of Santa Monica issued a local emergency proclamation in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency (Exhibit A) and on March 14, 2020, a revised local emergency proclamation to comport with all digital signature requirements (Exhibit B). The proclamation enhanced the City’s ability to access federal and state dollars for COVID-19 response.

• setting separate special meetings for appeals and study sessions, • establishing an earlier deadline to submit Councilmember items, and • requiring Council Ad Hoc Committees to report back to the full Council quarterly.

This report also provides an assessment of what is required to support live remote public comment for Council and boards and commission meetings. Staff would return with changes to the Rules of Order and Procedure for the Conduct of City Council Meetings based on direction provided at this study session.
Discussion
The City has a robust set of Boards and Commissions and even after some restructuring there remain 16 Boards and Commissions, two special City Boards, one Task Force, as well as the City Council meetings. While some of these groups are meeting quarterly, the normal meeting schedule results in for these bodies is to meeting at least monthly. Council, Planning Commission, and certain other boards meet more often. In fact, Council held 41 meetings last year. In addition to these bodies, many have subcommittees that regularly meet and are also subject to the same Brown Act requirements for public access and participation. This can result in the City hosting between twelve and up to twenty public meetings in a month, some held during normal business hours and others held in the evening.
Meeting Format and Structure
A review of past staff reports and resolutions regarding City Council meeting format and structure suggests that, while changes have been made to the Order of Business over the years, the overall structure of meetings has largely remained the same with meetings taking place after business hours and ending in the late evening or early the next morning. Through the years, previous Councils have considered various ways to change the agenda format to make the meetings be both more productive as well as more efficient. (See attached Info Item from Nov. 2021) Below is a list of options for Council to consider incorporating as part of their Rules of Order.
Closed Session and Meeting Different Start Time Options:
• Begin closed session earlier (4:30 p.m. or 5:00 p.m.).
4.A
Packet Pg. 137
3 of 10
• Establish a fixed public meeting start time that would mandate closed session end after an hour or hour and a half and continue any outstanding items to the end of open session or to another meeting.
• Set a separate special meeting to hear closed session. This would allow the public meeting to start at 5:30 p.m. and reserve the entire evening for the public portion of the agenda but would mean allocating another set time to hear Closed Session matters.
• Continue to support not hearing any other agenda items, with the exception of public input, after the 11:00 p.m. hard stop for open session and continue any outstanding items to the next regular meeting or to a special meeting.
Modify Public Comment Procedures
• Hold all public comment at the start of the meeting on agenda and non-agenda items.
• Allow public comment (non-agenda items only) to be heard at the start of the meeting.
• Hold public comment for closed session and consent items prior to adjourning into closed session.
Setting Separate Meetings for Appeals and Study Sessions • Schedule a third meeting each a month devoted strictly to appeals and study sessions. This does come with some tradeoffs. Most impacted would be our Planning staff who present the vast majority of the administrative appeals as well as many of the study sessions at Council who also attend Planning Commission meetings the alternate weeks of Council meetings. There would be additional demands of our Communications staff for airing meetings, City Clerk’s staff for meeting support, food cost, and Police Department staff for providing security.

Hybrid/Remote Meetings Discussion
The Santa Monica City Council has historically provided two ways for the public to provide input on agenda items:
1. Written comments – The public may submit public comments in writing via email, or hard copy to the City Clerk’s Office prior to each meeting. These comments are attached with each agenda item and included in the official meeting record.
2. Oral Comment – Community members may come to a public meeting and provide public comment upon request. Generally. this comment is limited to two minutes but there are options for additional time.
The COVID-19 pandemic required the closure of City facilities and moving public meetings to a virtual platform that also allowed for remote public participation. While many members of the public have expressed a preference for remote public comment, there has been an overall reduction in public meeting participation since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020.
4.A
Packet Pg. 139

Since the Council and boards and commissions began meeting remotely in 2020, staff had the opportunity to evaluate different meeting software platforms as well as the staff and other resources required to support remote public meeting participation. Staff also had the opportunity to evaluate participation in meetings since the start of the pandemic.
Every system evaluated by staff required additional staffing and other costs to support.
While every City was tasked with ways to support public meetings safely during the pandemic, the City’s budget was uniquely impacted because of its significant reliance on tourism, technology sector, retail, parking revenues, and other revenue streams which rely on tourists, employees who spend their workdays here, and other visitors.
Many of the City’s revenue streams were severely curtailed as people were ordered to stay home. The resulting budget reductions and restructuring led to the loss of many administrative staff positions, many of whom staffed board and commission meetings.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, the City suspended in-person meetings and moved all meetings to a completely remote model using the BlueJeans platform. In December 2020, the Council voted to have boards and commissions meet remotely on a quarterly basis, due to staffing shortages and disruptions from the pandemic. Those boards and commission without staffing for their boards and commissions were allowed to self-moderate and use audio recordings as their official record. With the uncertainty of the pandemic, Council extended quarterly meetings for those bodies that did not have staffing until July 2022.
In July 2021, the City Council moved to a hybrid model with the Council and some staff meeting in-person and CityTV providing a video stream through their channel, on the City website, and YouTube, with remote phone access through Call-in Studio. This model required a minimum of three staff members to run the remote meeting and call-in option, plus the City Clerk. Most boards and commissions will continue with quarterly remote meetings until at least July 2022. Unless there is a policy decision to change course, all boards, commissions, task force and advisory bodies will return to monthly in-person meetings, which will triple the amount of meetings and required support.

Starting earlier this year, state and local health mandates and restrictions are being rolled back. City Hall re-opened to the public, and starting April 12, 2022, City Council resumed in-person meetings and discontinued all forms of remote public comment.
Board and commission meetings, however, have continued with remote meetings under AB 361. The federal and state governments have both indicated further sunsetting of COVID protocols. Therefore, now is the time to implement a plan to reinstate in-person public meetings and to determine the feasibility of continuing remote public comment and how to effectively and efficiently staff Council and board and commission meetings.
Staff took into consideration the costs for facilities, technology, and staffing as well as overall public participation when providing a recommendation for an option for remote participation for Council and board and commission meetings.
Facilities
Once board and commission meetings return in-person, those meetings will be held at various city facility locations. It should be noted that, due to the pandemic, Ken Edwards Center, where several of the advisory bodies met, is no longer an option as a meeting location due to a lack of staffing and parking. Currently, no facilities have adequate audio visual and/or WiFi capabilities to allow remote meetings, including the Ken Edwards Center. Staff have identified other viable meeting locations within the City and evaluated what is needed to support remote meetings in these locations. This includes upgrading the Council Chambers at an approximate cost of $16,825, including an additional one-time cost of $78,119.51 to update identified meeting facilities, including listening devices for the hearing impaired.
Technology
The current virtual platforms available and approved by the Information Services Department for remote meetings are Microsoft Teams and BlueJeans; each has pros and cons. Staff recommends the use of Microsoft Teams because it is fully covered by the City’s existing software agreement with Microsoft, and it meets the City’s records retention requirements. No additional funding is needed. All alternative platforms would require additional funding for licensing and staff support.

Staffing
All other cities have reported that additional staffing is required to support remote public meeting participation. Beverly Hills was already staffed to support this service because they provided it prior to 2020. This was also borne out by Santa Monica’s experience supporting remote meetings. It is not possible for one staff person to manage the meeting and the remote call-in service for the public. Therefore, regardless of which platform boards and commissions use, remote public access requires one staff person dedicated to staffing the meeting and one staff person assigned to moderating the meeting call-in queue and facilitating remote public comment. The associated staffing needed to support a hybrid Council meeting includes: overtime for a staff person to assist with in-person attendees, and the addition of a .5 FTE Staff Assistant III to facilitate the call-in option. Costs for all public bodies to hold hybrid meetings are listed below

Packet Pg. 142
8 of 10
their own boards and commissions, with additional funding required to cover overtime staffing in the other departments (as noted above).
Overall Public Participation in Meetings
Most boards and commissions receive between 1-5 comments per meeting, with little change in this participation while remote participation has been permitted since public meetings went remote in 2020 (See Attachment B). It does not appear that remote access has significantly increased public participation in meetings.
Another factor for Council to consider is that social media and internet communications make it easier than ever for local issues to align with conversations happening nationally and internationally. The debate on the City’s vaccine mandate is a recent example of this happening. In person public testimony increases the barriers for those from outside of our region to influence local decisions, ensuring the Council and Boards and Commissions are informed by local perspectives.
Remote Public Access in Other Cities
Throughout the state there have been conversations about how other cities are handling the return to in-person meetings. Staff did a brief survey of cities in Southern California and found there does not appear to be a one-size fits all or consistent approach across cities in this region. Pasadena, El Segundo and Redondo Beach permit in-person and written comment only. Beverly Hills, Culver City and West Hollywood offer some version of remote public testimony, however even they have distinct differences in their approaches. Beverly Hills provided a call-in option prior to COVID-19 and continues to provide this option, requiring staffing from four departments to support their Council meetings. Culver City has a limited hybrid option for only Council and Planning Commission meetings but has not yet determined whether this is a temporary service until everyone fully returns to in-person meetings or if it will be made permanent. West Hollywood is allowing a call-in option through Zoom and required the purchase of an encoder to allow phone calls and an additional staff member to facilitate Zoom, but they have not determined if they will support remote meetings once the health orders are fully relaxed.

Packet Pg. 143

Recommendation and Alternatives
Factoring the staffing and technology requirements against the consistent levels of public participation, staff recommends boards and commissions return to strictly inperson meeting participation with an anticipated start date of July 1 or when it is determined to be safe. Until that time, remote meeting participation will continue to be supported.
Should Council opt to implement remote meetings, staff would not be able to implement remote public access for all public meetings until this Fall to allow time to recruit staff and make the necessary changes to meeting rooms. Once all boards and commissions and other groups return to their normal meeting schedules and other safety protocols are limited, staff offers the following suggestions.
1. Hold all remote public comment for all items, including public input, at the start of the meeting while those who attend in-person will continue to speak on items as they are called.
o Pros: This would reduce staff overtime by releasing them earlier in the evening as opposed to remaining to the end of the meeting and this would provide in-person attendees the benefit of hearing the staff report prior to making their comments.
o Cons: This could create an unfair advantage for remote attendees as they will be able to make their comments early in the evening while those who take the time to come to the meeting in person will have to remain. Also, those attending remotely will not have the benefit of hearing the staff report prior to making their comments.
2. Continue to hold comment for each item as they are called, alternating between those attending in person and those attending remotely. o Pros: This would be a fairer option for both in-person and remote attendees.
4.A
Packet Pg. 144
10 of 10
o Cons: This would require more overtime costs and the Mayor would not be able to see the remote callers in the speaker queue.
Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
If each department were to add remote public comment to their board and commission meetings, there would be a need for Council to approve the addition of 3.7 staff positions in addition to overtime hours, for a total of $459,852, in addition to equipment and facility upgrade costs. At this time, if Council chooses to move forward with remote public comment, staff would work with the Finance Department to integrate these costs into the budget for approval and identify any potential tradeoffs needed to make the necessary funding available.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Records & Elections Services Director Denise Anderson-Warren Subject: History of the City Council’s Rules of Order on the Order of Business and Public Testimony and a Survey on General Public Comment Period from California Agencies
Introduction
At the September 14, 2021 meeting, the Council requested information on:
1) when and how other agencies hear public comment at Council meetings, and 2) the order that agenda items are heard, including Closed Session, to reduce wait time for public speakers.
Staff surveyed California agencies as well as reviewed past staff reports and resolutions regarding the Council’s Rules of Order and Procedure for the Conduct of City Council meetings. This report presents those findings.
Background
The Council meets a minimum of 24 times a year, most meetings last six hours or more.
On average, about 29 public speakers per meeting that register to speak on agenda items and about two speakers for general public comment.
Historically, general public input has been heard after the City’s business has been completed. Council has tried various ways to fit Closed Session to their schedules.
While some other agencies designate time to hear general public input first, the ways in which they manage their meeting schedule may be difficult to implement for Santa Monica. For example, meeting before 5:30 p.m. may be difficult as most Council and public members work during this time. Designating separate days for Closed Session Information Item
4.A.a
Packet Pg. 146 Attachment: Council Agenda Management Information Item_Nov 2021 (5117 : Council Meeting Format Changes & Hybrid Options) 2 would add to and not streamline the Council’s schedules and may affect staff’s daily operations. Should Council wish to revise their rules on general public input and the Order of Business, staff can return with a revised resolution and proposals on streamlining the public comment and agenda management process.
Discussion
City Council meetings have largely remained the same with meetings taking place after business hours and ending in the late evening or even into early the next morning. The review of past staff reports and resolutions shows that while changes have been made to the Order of Business over the years, the overall structure of meetings has remained largely the same.
General Public Comment
The Santa Monica City Council, as required by the Brown Act and the Council’s Rules of Order, hears general public comment on items on any issues not on the agenda but are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Council, at all regular meetings. Currently, the City Council hears general public comment as the last item at meetings. Agendized items presented before Council can often receive a large volume of public comment. To ensure that all can comment and that agenda items may be heard during a reasonable hour, Council has opted to limit the speaking time for public comment to two minutes.
In 2001, Council considered limiting general public input to just a 20-minute period at the beginning of meetings, but the proposal was not approved. In 2006 then City Councilmembers Robert Holbrook and Herb Katz sued the City claiming that the holding of general public comment at the end of the Council meeting (and often past 11PM) violated the Brown Act as it “in essence deprives the public of their fundamental right to address their local representatives.” Holbrook v. City of Santa Monica, (2006 144 Cal.App.4th 1242). The lawsuit was dismissed. In 2008, the Council did approve a rule to accommodate and hear speakers with special needs early on in the agenda but did not approve any changes to schedule separate special Closed Session meetings or
4.A.a
Packet Pg. 147 Attachment: Council Agenda Management Information Item_Nov 2021 (5117 : Council Meeting Format Changes & Hybrid Options) 3 consider agenda management at specified times so that members of the public could anticipate when or if particular matters would be heard.
Closed Session
The review of Council reports and resolutions shows that Closed Session has changed places on the agenda from time to time. In 1987, Closed Session formally appeared in the Council’s Order of Business as the first item of business. In 1997, the Council revised the rules to hear Closed Session as the last item of business. In 2001, the Council revised the rules to hear Closed Session after the Consent Calendar to accommodate Council’s work schedules and other commitments. In 2010, the Council revised the rules to hear Closed Session as the first item of business again and eliminated the special accommodations rule but offered an alternative to submit written comments. These resolutions are outlined in the following table.

Staff distributed a survey to California agencies and looked closer at agencies whose meetings are comparable to Santa Monica’s (taking place twice a month, running for 4 or more hours, and usually having 10 or more public speakers). Staff then looked into these agencies’ general public comment process and how their meeting schedules are
4.A.a
Packet Pg. 148 Attachment: Council Agenda Management Information Item_Nov 2021 (5117 : Council Meeting Format Changes & Hybrid Options) 4 managed. Of these agencies, nine conducted their meetings in ways different from Santa Monica and their information is in Table 2. For context, Santa Monica and the Cities of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills were included as they were mentioned at the September 14th meeting.
Of the 11 cities, most operate meetings similar to Santa Monica, holding evening meetings and having Closed Session precede the public meeting. All offer either one or two general public input periods on their agendas. Four cities offer public comment at the start of the public meeting and there is some variation in practice. For example, the City of Chico limits general public input to one hour. The City of Huntington Beach hears public comment on both non-agendized and agendized comments at once. The City of Costa Mesa holds their Closed Session in the early afternoon to allow more time for the open session.
Six of the 11 cities offer two opportunities for general public comment, usually at the beginning and end of the public meeting. They also limit the time or number of speakers for the first period and hear Closed Session separately. The City of Ventura only offers two public input periods on the first meeting of the month and limits the first period to 30 minutes. The City of West Hollywood hears general public input on the Consent Calendar and non-agenda items but gives priority to Consent Calendar speakers and limits the total time for public input to 20 minutes. The City of Torrance limits both of their public input periods to 15 minutes and continues Closed Session items to the end of meetings, if needed.

Persons speaking on another’s written communication and persons submitting late speaker requests, who receive permission to speak shall be limited to one minute.

EXTERNAL
Mayor and Council Members - I urge you to support hybrid meetings for Council and Commission meetings.
Civic participation is hard to galvanize when residents have busy lives, so anything that makes participation easier for the public should be encouraged. Yes, there are costs (though it seems hard to understand why it would require $94,000 of facility upgrades when we've already had successful remote participation for the past two years) but I feel the benefits to the democratic process and the greater participation by all stakeholders is well worth the expense.
In-person participation does cut down on non-resident interference, but perhaps call-in could be limited to only those who live and/or work in Santa Monica. When the clerk asks callers to state their name, they could also ask them to state their address or affiliation with the City (resident, business owner, etc).
I disagree with the proposal to hold all public comment at the start of the meeting. So much information is disseminated during staff and applicant presentations that might mitigate or alter people's questions, that it seems an unfair disadvantage to make the public comment beforehand.
Many thanks for your time and consideration.

Re: City Council Agenda Item 4A
Dear Mayor Himmelrich, Mayor Pro Tem McCowan, and City Councilmembers, The League of Women Voters of Santa Monica is a nonpartisan political organization which encourages informed and active participation in government. We appreciate the Council’s efforts to explore options to allow for more robust and inclusive public input. As you continue to refine the policies for public meetings, we urge you to include options for remote public comment such as a call-in option, for all public meetings of the City Council and City Boards and Commissions.
Providing spoken public comment at City Council meetings, as well as Board and Commission meetings, is an important part of enabling active participation in government.
Unfortunately, the ability to provide spoken public comment has not always been accessible for all. When the COVID-19 pandemic began and all public meetings moved to remote meetings, a silver lining of this awful situation was greater accessibility for members of our community to provide feedback to our elected and appointed leaders.
When the Council returned to in-person meetings on April 12, 2022, without the option for remote verbal public comment, many constituents were once again limited in their opportunities to provide feedback in Council meetings. In-person meetings have always been inaccessible for some members of our community, and the pandemic has expanded the number of community members who are not able to attend in-person meetings. This includes people at higher risk of complications from COVID-19, people who serve as caretakers of children, partners, or other dependents, or any number of life situations that may restrict the ability of community members to attend in-person meetings to provide verbal public comment.
We acknowledge that all constituents also have the option to provide written public comments, such as this letter, and that all of these written public comments become part of the public record. However, there are limitations to written comments and allowing remote verbal public comment during City Council meetings is a vital part of not only enabling robust public participation in government but also increases the probability that Councilmembers will hear the comments.
In our City’s efforts to move forward towards becoming a more inclusive, equitable, and accessible community, it has become clear over the last two-and-a-half years that the ability to provide remote public comment is a necessity.
We urge you, the City Council, to take the necessary steps to make public participation in local government more inclusive, accessible, and equitable for all.
Sincerely,
Natalya Zernitskaya

City Councilmembers,
Hybrid meetings are important to equal representation of all residents and Santa Monicans in City government. Please support this expanded format for all City Council, Board, and Commission meetings going forward.
Remote meeting access is essential for disability access and other diverse local participation, including Santa Monicans who cannot attend for many reasons: maybe they have children, can't be up late and sit in the very uncomfortable seating in chambers due to neck and back injuries..lack cars or have any number of situations that make it hard to attend in person.
Hybrid meetings allow all Santa Monica residents equal opportunity to provide their input to City officials and influence local governance, which benefits us all.
In 2022, Santa Monicans have a fundamental right to remotely access and participate in City government. We need hybrid Council, Board, and Commission meetings immediately and permanently.
Please do not listen to the related staff recommendation. Staff does not consider what residents need. Please support and swiftly implement this crucial equitable public access.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
Sincerely,
Danielle Charney

• work late
• do not have reliable transportation
• are sick
• have other circumstances that prevent them from attending City meetings in person Hybrid meetings allow all Santa Monica residents equal opportunity to provide their input to City officials and influence local governance, which benefits us all.

Hello Councilmembers,
Shouldn't public meetings be as accessible as possible? Please allow for hybrid meetings and for residents to be able to call in if they are unable to attend in person for whatever reason, be it work, disability, childcare responsibilities, being out of town etc.
The public input period must be moved to the beginning of the meetings! No more waiting around for hours, sometimes past midnight!

RE: Agenda item 4-A -- Study Session --Discuss potential for hybrid meetings with a call-in option for all boards and commission meetings.
I get the feeling that this COVID pandemic is going to last forever. If we don't get people worldwide vaccinated, new variants will keep cropping up.
As a result, while I have no desire to attend in-person City Council meetings, or any other in-person events, I would like to retain the option to phone in public comments.
Thank you for your consideration.

The pandemic has changed forever how the population of this planet communicates.
Teleconferencing is here to stay.
No, you can't turn back time.
The City must acknowledge the new normal and allow for hybrid meetings.
To counter some very strange statements in the staff report: public meetings are public, which means that anyone can participate, no matter where they are from or where they are physically located.
Santa Monica residents who are out of town should be able to call in to Council meetings.
Councilmembers have the right to call in, right? Didn't two Councilmembers call in two weeks ago? Incidentally, it was a meeting where the City Clerk and interim City Attorney refused to grant reasonable accommodation requests by two disabled residents who were asking to be allowed to call in. A clear case of discrimination where the Councilmembers can call in, but not residents...
The argument used by the staff that there was roughly the same amount of public comment prepandemic as there was during the pandemic via teleconferencing does not hold much water either.
The pool of people who attend in person is likely not the same pool of people who called in via phone or an app. The goal of public meetings is to be accessible to the general public, with the right to comment for everyone who wishes to attend and/or comment.
The argument used in the staff report that money could be saved by offering in-person meetings only in insulting to the public. It is the public's money, not the staff's. The meetings are for the public, not for the staff, and not for the Councilmembers. The Councilmembers have been hired by the public (via an election) to represent them. The staff's opinion here is meaningless.
The public input period must be moved to the beginning of the meetings. Otherwise there is a chilling effect where the citizens are effectively prevented from participating when they are unable to sit around for hours waiting to be able to speak for two minutes late at night.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Gigi Decavalles-Hughes, Director, Finance Department, Budget Subject: Financial Status Update, FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget, and FY 2022-24 Biennial Capital Improvement Program Budget
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Receive the FY 2021-22 through FY 2027-28 May Forecast;
2. Review and provide direction to staff regarding the FY 2022-23 Proposed Operating Budget Adjustments (Attachment A) and FY 2022-24 Proposed Biennial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget (Attachment B);
3. Review and provide direction to staff on establishing a parklet license fee, Fire Department fee study changes and revisions to Cemetery fees (Attachments C, D, E);
4. Direct staff to proceed with setting the FY 2022-23 Operating and FY 2022-24 Biennial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget Adoption hearing on June 28, 2022; and
5. Provide direction on potential revenue measures for the November 2022 ballot and direct staff to prepare ballot measure language.
Summary
The FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget, the second year of the City’s FY 2021-23 Biennial Budget for operating expenditures, is an important milestone in the City’s gradual recovery from the disruption and economic losses that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite frequent budget amendments to restore services incrementally as revenues slowly recover, a large portion of the reductions in programs and services, facility maintenance, and capital improvement projects made in the beginning of the pandemic continue. Data indicates that the City continues to recover. At the same time, the City, like the entire country, is projected to experience significant cost increases coming from the highest levels of inflation in forty years, supply chain issues, other
4.B

market disruptions occurring as a result of the war in Ukraine, and adjustments to staff compensation increases.
The City is in the middle of labor negotiations with nine employee bargaining units following a two-year period that included the first layoffs in the City’s recent history, concessions, and no cost of living increases. The City is faced with needing to address employee compensation in a very competitive job market and in the face of high inflation and a community and region with a high cost of living in order to retain staff and sustain existing operations with demands to restore or add services.
Given all of this, the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget is primarily focused on no-cost operational adjustments to improve service delivery, as well as incorporating previous Council direction to continue the Pier Vending Task Force for another year, and some required budget corrections.
Many needs and challenges endure. Council adopted priorities are clear:
• Address homelessness;
• Provide clean and safe neighborhoods and open spaces; and • Support an equitable and inclusive economic recovery.
Over time, as staff continues to assess the pace of economic recovery and has a firmer understanding of available one-time savings from FY 2021-22 and expenditure levels based on the outcome of labor negotiations, staff will continue to bring forward additional service restorations and enhancements that align with City Council’s priorities.
Another opportunity to consider budget changes will be as part of Council’s Midyear Budget Review in the winter. At that time, if Council has agreed to place a potential tax measure on the November 2022 General Election ballot and if it is successful, the City would have the capacity to program anticipated new funds to priority areas as captured in recent polling of Santa Monica voters. This report includes information on the polling

conducted on two potential tax measures, as directed by Council at its February 8,2022 meeting:
1) A 1% increase to the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), and 2) A Library Parcel Tax specifically to restore Library operations.
Based on the results of the polling, staff recommends placing only the TOT measure on the November 2022 ballot. If Council directs staff to proceed, final approval of ballot language and a resolution to proceed with the ballot measure will occur at the July 12, 2022 meeting.
The total Citywide Proposed Budget for FY 2022-23, net of reimbursements and transfers, and including both operating and capital expenditures, is $664.7 million, $393.5 million of which is in the General Fund. The Citywide Proposed Budget represents an 8.9% increase over the revised FY 2022-23 Approved Budget Plan (includes ongoing changes approved throughout FY 2021-22) as detailed below. • Operating Budget - $7.7 million increase from revised budget plan:
o General Fund – approximately $1.9 million increase, including 16.6 FTEs (14.7 Permanent and 1.9 As-needed), primarily funding initiatives that address a clean and safe community.
o Other Funds – approximately $5.8 million increase, including 30.7 FTEs (28.5 Permanent and 2.2 As-needed), primarily funding initiatives that ensure the City’s increasing array of in-person services are properly resourced to provide sufficient levels of service and minimize risk to the public and to the City.
• FY 2022-23 is the first year of the FY 2022-24 Proposed Biennial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget, which makes strategic investments in maintaining and enhancing critical City infrastructure and City facilities essential to providing services. Santa Monica is a leader in responsible financial and environmental leadership in municipal capital planning and construction. Funding for critical infrastructure protects the City’s existing capital investment and minimizes future maintenance and replacement costs.

The FY 2022-23 Proposed CIP Budget is $88.4 million, net of reimbursements and transfers, representing a $46.5 million change from the revised FY 2022-23 Approved Budget Plan, primarily from projects funded by the Other Funds. The FY 2023-24 Proposed CIP Budget Plan is $96.1 million net of reimbursements and transfers. Of these amounts, the General Fund portion for each year is $13.8 million, representing a $1.9 million change from the FY 2022-23 Approved Budget Plan, and $13.1 million, respectively. A detailed discussion on the FY 2022-24 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget is included in the Discussion section of this report.

The May 2022 General Fund Forecast includes the Proposed FY 2022-23 Budget and assumptions regarding potential expenditure increases over the next five years. At this point, staff anticipates that all revenues as projected are programmed to maintain a balanced budget over the next four years of the forecast period until the City sees some revenue streams increase swiftly in year five.
Looking to the years ahead, staff will continue to plan for the most effective ways to address Council priorities over the next five years, acknowledging the reality of program implementation timelines that are driven by recruitment, training, procurement, contracting and community outreach processes, and continued revenue growth. The
4.B
Packet Pg. 182
5 of 45
City will continue its economic recovery and grow stronger with partnerships and new opportunities. Among the areas that staff is working on are the introduction of a digital wayfinding system/out of home advertising network that will provide the City a new revenue source, development of the planning process of the Airport, and preparation for the 2028 Olympics. As funding needs or revenue projections from these plans become more clear, staff will consider them in future year budget planning.
The financial status of other funds remains relatively stable. As previously reported, most of the non-General Funds will remain self-sufficient during the forecast period. The Pier and Beach Funds have structural deficits, resulting in unfunded capital needs, and will require some level of General Fund assistance. The Resource, Recovery and Recycling Fund is projected to remain self-sufficient only through FY 2023-24, requiring staff to consider a rate change. Finally, annual contributions toward the City’s equipment replacement internal service funds have resumed after being suspended for two years.
Also presented in this report is a proposed parklet license fee that aligns with existing sidewalk dining fees and revisions to Fire Department and Cemetery fees.
Background
The FY 2021-23 Biennial Budget was adopted by Council on June 22, 2021 (Attachment F). After two years of severe revenue losses requiring the use of reserves and a dramatic restructuring and reduction of operations and resources for facility maintenance, vehicle replacement, technology replacement, and capital improvement projects to balance the General Fund budget, the FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget leveraged one-time American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and some revenue growth to restore certain priority services, mainly furthering the three Council-adopted community priorities:
• Addressing homelessness;
• Providing clean and safe neighborhoods and open spaces; and • Supporting an equitable and inclusive economic recovery.
4.B
Packet Pg. 183
6 of 45
The Biennial Budget was built upon the assumption that a slow recovery, which started in the latter part of FY 2020-21, would continue throughout the biennial period but that revenues, and therefore the services funded with those revenues, would continue to be lower than pre-pandemic levels. While General Fund revenues are growing, they are far below the levels they would have been had the economy not been disrupted by the pandemic. When comparing updated revenue projections for the General Fund to those staff had projected for the same period in February 2020, current projections for FY 2022-23 are $43 million lower. This gap indicates the minimum amount of additional revenues the City would need annually in order to provide the same level of services provided before the pandemic, without accounting for the significant inflation that has increased costs further over this time.
The restructuring and reduction of operations in the General Fund, the fund responsible for the majority of City general services, resulted in a 20% decrease in operating expenditures and a 50% decrease in capital funding but enabled the City to maintain essential and emergency operations during the pandemic. As noted above, while economic recovery is happening, the disruption that began two years ago is still affecting the global economy and has resulted in continued severe revenue loss for the City. While revenues continue to recover faster than previously projected, coronavirus variants continue to emerge and threaten to slow down economic activity. International and business travel is still lagging, and office-based businesses are still not operating in person at their pre-pandemic levels, which impacts business and parking activity. This economic activity, and the revenues that it produces for the City, has a direct impact on the City’s ability to provide a higher level of service.
4.B
Packet Pg. 184
7 of 45
This in turn impacts the City’s ability to restore services and programs to meet community needs and address critical gaps in services. The City’s workforce was reduced by over 421 positions. While key investments throughout FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 have enabled staff to bring back some services and invest in new areas (i.e.
Pier Vending Task Force), to date, the City has restored only 24% of the eliminated positions.
Most City programs and services, which rely on people to deliver the services, continue to operate at reduced levels, are serving fewer participants or have been closed or suspended. Such programs and services include:
• Library services - only three locations have in-person service and one branch with self-service, overall operating at approximately 33% of previous levels • Youth programs are at 30% or less of previous levels
• Mobility on Demand program (MODE) is operating at 75% of previous levels • Fairview Library, Miles Memorial Playhouse and Camera Obscura Art Lab remain closed
• There is no support from Facilities Maintenance staff for permitted park events • Graffiti removal, alley paving, tree pruning, and sports field maintenance are operating at reduced frequencies
• In-person services at the Permit Services Center public counter are available 8:00 am – 3:00 pm Monday through Thursday by appointment only The General Fund capital program, which was also impacted by the budget reductions, was cut by half its annual allocation, and despite some increases, the program remains severely underfunded. In pre-pandemic years, the City set aside $21 million annually to
4.B
Packet Pg. 185
8 of 45
fund preventative maintenance of infrastructure, vehicle and equipment replacement, new technology, and park and mobility improvements. Important capital projects that were de-funded continue to wait for funding, including, but not limited to:
• Memorial Park Expansion,
• Phase 2 of City Yards Modernization,
• Lincoln Neighborhood Corridor Streetscape,
• Olympic Blvd/Sidewalk Improvements,
• Parking Structure Upgrades, and
• Street Light Upgrades.
While funding for the replacement of capital equipment vital to City services has resumed after a two-year suspension, the Fleet and Computer Equipment Replacement Funds are forced to replace equipment at a slower pace, a process that is not sustainable in the long term and will need to be addressed in upcoming budget processes. Planning efforts for large projects, including the land at the Airport once it closes, also require project funding, as well as funding to cover the operating costs once these projects have been completed. Furthermore, capital improvements at the Beach and Pier that cannot be supported by the Beach and Pier Fund revenues, compete for limited funds in the General Fund.
The Budget Proposal Process
Leading up to the preparation of the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget, departments were tasked to evaluate service needs and submit only the most vital funding requests to address the following priorities:
• Addressing homelessness and the impacts of homelessness, • Addressing crime and cleanliness, particularly the impact of sidewalk vending at the Pier and Beach, safety in the Downtown area and in neighborhoods throughout the City,
• Addressing the impacts of COVID-19 and furthering economic recovery,
4.B
Packet Pg. 186
9 of 45
• Ensuring that the City’s shift back to in-person services is properly resourced to provide sufficient levels of service and minimize risk to the public and to the City, and
• Furthering community legislative mandates.
Staff evaluated all requests submitted in light of limited resources and the uncertainty that continues to remain in the City’s prolonged economic recovery.
Discussion
Overview of Economic Conditions
The recession induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, while the worst downturn since the Great Depression, was officially the shortest recession on record. The national and State economies recovered strongly in 2021. National economic growth as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 5.7% for the year after declining 3.4% in 2020.
The labor market has shown a strong recovery as the unemployment rate has returned to pre-pandemic levels. However, impacts and disruptions of the pandemic continue to linger. Tourism is far from pre-pandemic levels and many office workers continue to work from home. In addition, the Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as inflation and the appearance of new COVID-19 variants have added new layers of uncertainty to the overall economic recovery. GDP unexpectedly declined 1.4% in the first quarter of 2022, and a recent Bloomberg survey of economists now projects 3.2% growth for all of 2022 followed by slower growth of around 2% for the following two years. Despite the low unemployment rate, labor force participation has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels and many employers are finding it difficult to attract and/or retain workers.
Inflation has risen to the highest level in four decades, and supply chain issues are causing disruption, all of which could further hamper growth.
Due to its heavy reliance on the tourism, hospitality and retail sectors, Santa Monica’s economy was particularly hard hit by the pandemic, with revenues from transient occupancy and sales taxes and parking related revenues, which accounted for nearly one-half of General Fund revenues prior to the pandemic, falling 39% in FY 2020-21
4.B
Packet Pg. 187
10 of 45
from pre-COVID levels, while total General Fund revenues were down 22% over the same period.
General Fund revenues began to recover in FY 2021-22 as vaccine availability and other public health measures helped avoid any further large scale economic disruptions, including business shutdowns. FY 2021-22 revenues are approximating the trend reported at Midyear when staff anticipated $11 million more than in the adopted budget, but final results will not be known until year-end. As noted at Midyear, much of the increase continues to reflect rebounds in the areas hardest hit by the pandemic - Transient Occupancy Taxes, Sales Taxes, and parking-related revenues. However, even with the strong recovery, revenues are projected to be $43 million lower than the level they had been projected to reach by this time in forecasts completed prior to the pandemic. It is also worth noting that the future is still uncertain and revenues could be impacted, either positively or negatively, by future events.
More information on the City’s key General Fund revenue sources over the next five years is provided below:
• Sales Taxes (both sales and use and transaction and use tax) have bounced back significantly from pandemic lows. Sales tax revenues from restaurant/hotel and general consumer goods categories for the most part have recovered sharply, and auto sales remained resilient during the pandemic.
Despite the improvement, sales tax revenues are projected to decrease by $1.8 million in FY 2022-23, reflecting the economy leveling out as well as the loss of two major taxpayers, and then show more typical increases of 3% to 4% annually.
• Transient Occupancy Taxes (hotel tax) were the hardest hit revenue source during the pandemic, falling 66% from pre-pandemic levels, but have recovered faster than expected despite continued weakness in international and business travel. FY 2022-23 revenues are now expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels, growing $5.4 million over FY 2021-22 levels (exclusive of a one-time accounting adjustment made in FY 2021-22) and over
4.B
Packet Pg. 188
11 of 45
three times greater than the pandemic low year (FY 2020-21). Strong growth is expected to continue especially as restrictions on international and business travel begin to ease, increasing demand. The projections also include the impact of the approximate three-year closure of the Fairmont Miramar for renovations as well as the hotel’s reopening in late FY 2026-27.
• Business License Tax revenues are expected to begin a steady but slow increase in FY 2022-23. However, some of the impacts of the pandemic, in particular the continuance of remote working, may have longer term, if not permanent impacts. This revenue stream did not see the full impact of the pandemic until FY 2021-21 as taxes are based on gross receipts from the prior calendar year. Revenues are not projected to exceed pre-pandemic levels until FY 2027-28.
• Parking revenues (including parking citations) fell nearly 45% from preCOVID levels, but as with many other revenue sources, they began their recovery in FY 2021-22. Revenues are projected to moderately increase over the next several years and approach pre-COVID levels by FY 2024-25 before levelling off. Parking Facility Taxes are expected to show a similar pattern. • Utility Users Tax revenues were not significantly impacted by the pandemic. However, recent spikes in energy costs have led to significant increases in taxes from electricity and natural gas services and are expected to grow by an average 1.5-3.5% annually, primarily due to scheduled water and wastewater rate increases, partially offset by decreases in telecommunication taxes.
• Investment income has dropped sharply, reflecting the historically low interest rates of the last few years. However, inflation has hit a 40-year high, leading to significant increases in interest rates through at least the end of 2023, which will result in investment income growth. Some of this growth will be limited due to a lower investable fund balance as the City was forced to use reserves during the pandemic.
• While revenues from fees, charges, and certain other revenue sources have recovered somewhat from pandemic lows, FY 2022-23 revenues are
4.B
Packet Pg. 189
12 of 45
projected to still be nearly $8 million less than pre-COVID peaks, reflecting continued program closures and reductions resulting from the pandemic induced budget cuts. Increases are primarily driven by the proposed expansion of recreation programs and contract class offerings. Revenues during the forecast period also include Miramar development agreement payments that will partially offset Transient Occupancy Tax losses during the hotel’s renovation.
These funds will be repaid to the hotel from increased tax revenues after the hotel reopens.
• The real estate market has performed stronger than expected during the pandemic as property values have continued to rise and the number of property sales has continued on a healthy pace. The property market is expected to continue to be strong throughout the forecast period.

The Five-Year Financial Forecast has been updated from the Forecast presented in February 2022. The figure above shows the balance of General Fund revenues less expenditures on an annual basis for the five fiscal years following the Biennial Budget period. The Forecast incorporates the following assumptions:
4.B
Packet Pg. 190
13 of 45
• New revenue projections reflecting actual revenues generated in the first nine months of the current fiscal year and updated assumptions for FY 2022-23 and beyond, based on economic trends and projections by hospitality industry, sales tax and property tax experts. Changes to the FY 2022-23 revenues from the revised budget plan amounts are included in Attachment A and noted in the Budget Adjustments section below.
• Updated expenditures for the FY 2022-23 budget plan and beyond. Changes to the FY 2022-23 budget plan included in the Proposed Budget are detailed in Attachment A and noted in the Budget Adjustments section below. Also included as expenditures are potential upcoming compensation adjustments and related expenditures, based on ongoing labor negotiations.
• $11 million surplus set aside to build reserves: As noted in the Midyear report, the Forecast sets aside $11 million of projected unprogrammed revenues in FY 2021-22 to General Fund reserves. These funds help stabilize the General Fund in the face of new fiscal challenges, including the continuing economic uncertainty being caused by new coronavirus variants and changes in the way that businesses operate, as well as other economic shocks to the City. • 15% contingency reserves gradually restored: The Forecast assumes that the City will begin increasing the threshold level for its rainy day fund, or contingency, reserves by .5 percentage point each year beginning in FY 2022-23, reaching 15% in FY 2026-27. This is critical to maintain the City’s AAA bond rating. On May 5, 2020, Council authorized staff to lower the General Fund contingency reserve level from 15% of ongoing expenditures to 12.5% to help balance the budget while revenues experienced severe declines. Strong reserves protect our ability to provide essential services and retain jobs during emergencies and economic fluctuations and are also a signal of a City’s financial health. • Capital Improvement Program: The FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget lowered the General Fund capital improvement program (CIP) annual budget allocation from $21 million to approximately $7.3 million in FY 2020-21. The FY 2022-23 amount dedicated to the CIP budget is $12.4 million, with funding restored to the $21 million level in FY 2025-26. While there are very small increases in the amount
4.B
Packet Pg. 191
14 of 45
dedicated to capital projects each year leading to FY 2025-26, these increases are not enough to address deferred infrastructure and equipment maintenance, price escalation in this area, and a renewed focus on community amenities that were put on hold during the pandemic, such as the Memorial Park Expansion project and planning for the Airport to Park Conversion. Beginning in FY 2026-27, the forecast assumes two years of additional $4 million contributions beyond the $21 million baseline program.
• Paying deferred GSH Transaction and Use Tax (TUT) Revenue to Affordable Housing: The forecast reflects the payment of the $6.3 million deferred amount to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund over three years beginning in FY 2023-24.
In May 2020, seeking one-time funds to support critical General Fund services, Council authorized staff to suspend the FY 2020-21 annual transfer of Measure GSH tax revenues from the General Fund to the Housing Trust Fund (per a November 2016 voter-approved advisory measure). These annual payments, as well as the catch-up deferred payment, will play an important role in the City achieving the targets of its recently adopted Housing Element and its RHNA allocation for 8,895 new housing units, of which 6,168 must be affordable, from 2021-2029.
• Unfunded Pension Liability Paydowns: The Forecast assumes that the City will resume making additional discretionary paydowns to CalPERS, the City’s pension fund, in FY 2022-23. This resumes the previously authorized accelerated paydowns of the City’s unfunded pension liability which will decrease the amount of interest that the City pays on its pension debt and result in significant savings over the long-term. In May 2020, Council had authorized staff to suspend additional discretionary paydowns for two years, in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22, and to shift from a 13-year to a 15-year payment schedule in order to address the fiscal emergency.
4.B
Packet Pg. 192
15 of 45
Not included in the forecast are:
Additional service restorations that are not fully offset by revenues, such as the restoration of service hours across the City’s library facilities, enhanced in-person programming and restoration of programs and capacity for youth and recreation. • Expedited rebuilding of the City’s capital program. Status quo in this area continues the cycle of deferred maintenance that began with the pandemic, and further delays projects requested by the community.
• Potential additional revenue from a Transient Occupancy Tax measure is not included as the outcome of the measure will not be known until the results of the November 2022 General Election.
Other Funds Five-Year Financial Forecasts
The May 2022 Forecast includes other major funds that fall into two categories: 1) funds that realize sufficient revenues to sustain operating and capital costs; and 2) funds that have structural deficits, in which revenues are not sufficient to cover expenditures.
Similar to the General Fund, the projections in the Other Funds reflect the impacts of pandemic-related restrictions.
Self-Sustaining Enterprise Funds
The following enterprise funds are projected to bring in sufficient revenues to support operations throughout the updated Forecast period:
The Water and Wastewater Funds will maintain a positive balance throughout the forecast period, inclusive of all proposed budget changes for the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget. In the proposed operating budget, staff is proposing an increase for operating and maintenance costs associated with the recently completed Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP). In the proposed CIP budget, several future projects are programmed to rehabilitate aging infrastructure, continue to enhance water supply resiliency, increase safety for operations personnel, and develop master plans as the City’s reliance on imported water declines. The Water Resources Division was able to accelerate future planned CIPs (e.g., rehabilitation of the City’s water storage reservoirs
4.B
Packet Pg. 193
16 of 45
and replacing aging electrical equipment at the City’s water treatment plants) after the division successfully obtained water revenue bonds in August 2021 to fully fund water self-sufficiency projects. The proposed revenue changes reduce capital facilities fees revenue to reflect slower development activity, which is expected to recover in FY 2023-
24. Water and wastewater rate adjustments approved by Council on January 28, 2020, as well as a revenue bond issued in August 2021, a Clean Water State Revolving Fund Loan, and three recent grant awards (California Department of Water Resources Proposition 1 Water Desalination grant, Los Angeles County Flood Control District Measure W grant, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Local Resources Program grant) continue to ensure that the Water and Wastewater Funds maintain healthy fund balances over the forecast period, allowing the Funds to maintain current operations while also completing capital projects to increase local water supply. It is important to note that the Water Fund broke ground in January 2022 on the last project identified in the Sustainable Water Master Plan to significantly reduce the City’s reliance on imported water by 2023, which is an upgrade and expansion of the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) Big Blue Bus (BBB) Fund will make strategic investments which will enhance community engagement and outreach efforts, increase customer service to the community, strengthen financial operations, and safeguard the reliability of transit service, while ensuring equitable and safe access to transportation for all. Incorporating these strategic investments in the FY 2022-23 exception-based budget, the BBB Fund will continue to maintain a positive fund balance over the forecast period through the use of Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) funds, which are one-time federal funds, allocated to provide financial support to transit agencies in response to the adverse impact of the pandemic on transit operations and ridership. While there is a corresponding reduction in capital revenues due to changes in capital projects, the BBB Fund remains balanced.
Current ridership trends reflect a gradual but promising recovery; however, the Department continues to monitor and track ridership.
4.B
Packet Pg. 194
17 of 45
Despite the challenges associated with the pandemic, DOT staff remains committed to ensuring the health and safety of its staff while continuing to identify operational efficiencies and funding opportunities to ensure fiscal sustainability. DOT will continue to provide service levels that support the community and customers, many of whom are essential workers who rely on BBB to conduct essential trips, such as traveling to work, medical appointments, the pharmacy, and shopping.
The Airport Fund is projected to remain self-sustaining throughout the forecast period.
Included in the forecast are several capital improvement projects planned for FY 2022- 23 and FY 2023-24, including Parking and Airfield pavement maintenance and Building and Facility improvements to enhance lease revenue opportunities.
The Cemetery Fund will maintain a positive fund balance throughout the forecast period inclusive of all proposed budget changes for the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget.
In the proposed CIP budget, the Cemetery is proposing to convert a vacated road to additional plot sites. Although the inventory for plots will be depleted by FY 2029-30, staff continues to assess overall Cemetery operations, projected plot sales, and reconfiguration and development of the Cemetery area in order to extend inventory and maintain fiscal sustainability.
The Community Broadband Fund will maintain a positive fund balance throughout the forecast period. However, like other City operations, Community Broadband has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic by non-renewal of service for customers that have vacated business offices to work remotely. Long-term fiscal stability of the Fund has been established with the execution of service agreements with Verizon Wireless and TMobile for their 5G deployments. Staff will continue to monitor market conditions, if customers are returning to the office, changes to customer service accounts, and competition within the telecommunications industry to ensure fiscal sustainability.
The Housing Authority Fund is stable and will maintain a positive fund balance throughout the forecast period. The CARES Act approved additional administrative funding for the Santa Monica Housing Authority which will supplement traditional
4.B
Packet Pg. 195
18 of 45
Section 8 administrative funding. This additional funding is creating a surplus that will be used to offset future year administrative deficits if they arise.
The Vehicle Management Fund and Information Technology Replacement & Services Fund will maintain positive balances through the forecast period. However, to maintain a positive balance, the Funds have had to defer scheduled replacement and maintenance of equipment, primarily due to a one-time, two-year suspension/reduction in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 in General Fund funding associated with the revenue shortfalls from the pandemic. In the Vehicle Management Fund, the suspension totaled $8.8 million and resulted in the majority of the 227 vehicles scheduled for replacement to be deferred to FY 2022-23 and beyond. In the Information Technology Replacement & Services Fund, the suspension totaled $3.4 million and resulted in the deferment of all computer equipment replacements for two years beyond their scheduled replacement.
This is not sustainable and funding needs to be restored. As General Fund revenues continue to gradually improve, funds will need to be earmarked to immediately address areas that cannot withstand the replacement timing lag and to gradually resume the previous schedules for replacement and maintenance.
The Stormwater Management Fund and Special Revenue Fund will generate adequate revenues to remain sustainable throughout the forecast period.
Funds Requiring Attention
The Resource Recovery & Recycling (RRR) Fund will remain self-sufficient through FY 2023-24, partially attributed to the infusion of one-time funds from the closeout of old construction and demolition projects in FY 2021-22. The forecast includes the FY 2022- 23 proposed budget change to add 6.0 FTE maintenance assistants required to assist with the collection of refuse and increase the safety of field operations. To remain solvent and address operational and capital needs, staff is currently evaluating solid waste rates and will present rate recommendations to Council in the winter of 2022/2023, with the new rates anticipated to be effective in 2023.
4.B
Packet Pg. 196
19 of 45
Funds Requiring Subsidies
The Pier Fund forecast typically reflects sufficient revenues to fund operating costs and partially fund capital costs. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Pier operations and the Pier Fund, resulting in structural deficit. The fund is reliant on General Fund subsidies and ARPA funds to offset some of the impacts of COVID-19 and maintain a positive fund balance. However, over $25 million in capital projects are unfunded. The primary revenue sources for the Pier Fund are lease payments and parking income. The updated forecast includes an increase in lease rental revenue for FY 2022-23, reflecting the anticipated recovery to pre-pandemic levels. The Pier Deck parking lot has been closed to vehicles since the spring of 2020 and is anticipated to reopen in September 2022. It is projected that parking revenues will not return to previous levels until FY 2023-24. However, the City is in the planning stages of the Pier Bridge Replacement (funded through the Caltrans Highway Bridge Program), which may impact parking revenues once construction begins in FY 2026-27, as access to the Pier Deck parking lot will be impacted. Grant funding from the Economic Development Administration (through the American Rescue Plan Act Travel, Tourism and Outdoor Recreation Notice of Funding Opportunity) was sought to support some unfunded capital projects and a Beach and Pier Master Plan; however, the City did not receive the grant award. Staff continues to seek efficiencies and revenue generating opportunities to support unfunded capital expenditures and address the structural deficit.
The Beach Fund forecast typically reflects sufficient revenues to fund operating costs and partially fund capital costs. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Beach and Beach House operations and the Beach Fund, resulting in a structural deficit. The fund is reliant on prior year advances from the General Fund, a loan from the Special Revenue Source Fund and ARPA funds to offset some of the impacts of COVID-19. However, over $5 million in identified capital projects remain unfunded.
The primary revenue source for the Beach Fund is parking revenues. The FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget includes a reduction in parking revenues as result of the anticipated delay in implementing a rate increase (previously anticipated in July 2022 now in January 2023), which is dependent on a process that includes Council and California Coastal Commission approvals be completed by late 2022. It is projected that parking
4.B
Packet Pg. 197
20 of 45
revenues will not return to previous levels until FY 2023-24. Other revenue changes in the Beach Fund, include increases to special events, classes, pool operations and Beach House day use revenues, which continue to experience gradual recovery. Grant funding from the Economic Development Administration (through the American Rescue Plan Act Travel, Tourism and Outdoor Recreation Notice of Funding Opportunity) was sought to support some unfunded capital projects and a Beach and Pier Master Plan however, the City did not receive the grant award. Staff continues to seek efficiencies and revenue generating opportunities to support unfunded capital expenditures and address the structural deficit.
Proposed Adjustments to the FY 2022-23 Revised Budget Plan While the Council approves the Biennial Budget every two years, per the City’s Charter, the Council must adopt a budget annually. In year 2 of the Biennial Budget term, Council adopts the second year of the budget, including in the adoption of any adjustments made to the original budget plan. The budget plan has already been revised to incorporate changes made by Council throughout the first year as part of the Year End and Midyear budget reviews. The items noted below are new proposed adjustments.
Revenue Adjustments - General Fund
Projected revenues for the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget total approximately $403.2 million. This results in approximately $5.7 million or 1.4% increase from the FY 2022-23 Approved Budget Plan (as adjusted during FY 2021-22 Midyear). The change reflects year-to-date activity and projections of changes in economic conditions and community behaviors through the remainder of FY 2021-22 and throughout FY 2022-23. A summary of the significant FY 2022-23 budget changes is below. Attachment A details all revenue budget changes.
FY 2022-23 Revenue Changes

Parking-Related Revenue
(including parking facility tax)
$0.1 million
Fees/Charges/Other $2.1 million
Total $5.7 million
Revenue Adjustments - Other Funds
FY 2022-23 revenue changes in the Other Funds result in an increase of approximately $0.4 million. Significant revenue adjustments include:
• Airport Fund – Increase of approximately $1.2 million, primarily due to increases in revenue related to new leases.
• Beach Fund - Decrease of approximately $1.3 million in parking revenues from an anticipated delay of a parking rate increase, which was projected to go into effect in July 2022 and is now anticipated to take effect in January 2023. The revised implementation date is dependent on a process that includes Council and California Coastal Commission approvals anticipated to be completed by late 2022.
• Big Blue Bus Fund - Decrease of approximately $823,000 due to a reduction in drawdowns/reimbursements from a projected decrease in capital expenditures. • Gas Tax Fund – Increase of approximately $608,000 from greater than anticipated State Gas Tax apportionment revenues from the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) and the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), based on estimates released in January 2022.
• Miscellaneous Grants Fund - Increase of approximately $2.3 million from new grant awards and earlier than projected grant reimbursement revenues. • Pier Fund – Increase of approximately $583,000 from increased lease revenue due to stronger recovery for percentage rents.
4.B
Packet Pg. 199
22 of 45
• Wastewater Fund - Decrease of approximately $880,000 related to decreases in pass-through revenues for Capital Facilities Fees and Amalgamated System Sewerage Facilities Charges from slow development activity. • Water Fund - Decrease of $1.4 million reflecting a reduction in Capital Facilities Fees and Water Meter Installation Fees due to slow development activity.
Expenditure Adjustments and Personnel Changes - General Fund As noted above, it is difficult to program available ongoing balances in the General Fund until the ultimate impact of labor negotiations is known. Additionally, while this report includes a recommendation to move forward with preparing a tax measure for the November 2022 ballot, its outcome is also unknown and therefore the potential revenue that would be generated is not included in the City’s financial projections. Working within these constraints, staff proposes General Fund operating expenditure adjustments that result in a $1.9 million net increase to the General Fund budget. The budget adjustments focus on:
1. Urgent Needs previously directed by Council;
2. Initiatives that can move forward with no additional costs; and
3. Required budget corrections.
Urgent Needs
Staff has identified approximately $2.5 million in one-time funds for Council-directed initiatives focusing on a clean and safe community. The items included in the $2.5 million are delivered by contracted service that could be terminated, temporary use of overtime, or require one-time funding only. As a result, the addition or continuation of these services does not impose a significant permanent burden on the budget and the City could have the flexibility to adjust its operations as necessary. The items are described below.
• Approximately $2.4 million for the continuation for another year of the Pier Vending Task Force, which includes Police overtime, a Fire Code Enforcement Officer, and private security presence, in addition to ongoing budgeted work by
4.B
Packet Pg. 200
23 of 45
the Code Enforcement Division and the Police Department. The continuation of this initiative was directed by Council at its February 22, 2022 meeting. • Approximately $115,000 for the restoration of a Volunteer Coordinator, first approved by Council as part of the FY 2019-20 Midyear Budget, and its responsibilities later affirmed by resolution on February 25, 2020, to monitor all aspects of recruitment, background checks, and compliance of volunteers in City programs, per the recommendations of the City’s Child Protection Officer, Praesidium. While this position is ongoing, this is a one-time funding need, as a separate limited term position expires in FY 2023-24 and funding will be transferred to cover this position in the future.
No Cost Items
Facing high workload and fewer resources in addition to higher levels of staff turnover and a labor shortage, staff continues to look for opportunities to improve and expand services. The most efficient approach is to make small, no-cost adjustments that provide high value results. Such items include:
• Organizational changes that place staff in the most effective positions and organizational structures, such as:
o Centralizing customer service staff, including transferring two positions currently in the Resource Recovery and Recycling Division under the 311 umbrella to enhance customer service and operational efficiency. o Converting limited term positions to permanent in order to provide stability to areas showing a continued level of need, including permitting, park planning that includes the community legislative mandate to develop park space at the Airport upon its closure in 2029, civil engineering, and human resources support.
o Realigning vacant positions to enable the addition of a Community Partnerships Manager who will preside over key initiatives including the implementation of digital kiosks and the associated revenue, the We Are Santa Monica Fund, and preparing for the 2028 Olympics.
4.B
Packet Pg. 201
24 of 45
• Reallocation of budgeted funds to expand the level of responsibility of budgeted positions in Aquatics and the City Attorney’s Office.
• Reallocation of budgeted funds:
o Adding a 1.0 FTE Information Security Analyst position to further support ongoing efforts to enhance the City's cybersecurity systems. o Adding 2.0 Maintenance Workers, 1.0 Facilities Supervisor, and 1.0 Administrative Analyst in Public Works to support reopened facilities. • Reallocation of budgeted funds to adjust the Fire Department’s budget to reflect the end of temporary pay cuts for sworn members of the Fire Department, per MOU terms negotiated in 2020 and providing full funding for positions that were previously kept vacant to provide savings to the General Fund in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. This adjustment ensures that the Department has adequate funding for two Fire Inspectors and one Fire Captain – Prevention. Also in the Fire Department, one Assistant Fire Marshall position is retained and funded by cost recovery fee revenues.
• Items totaling approximately $301,000 funded from revenues generated by the programs and/or funded by Enterprise Funds, include positions such as:
o Adding a GIS Analyst in the Information Services Department that will support Public Works and be funded by the Clean Beaches and Ocean Parcel Tax, Water, and Wastewater Funds.
o Adding a Business License Inspector position in the Finance Department, funded by additional Business License Tax revenues recovered from noncompliant businesses, who will also approach and educate vendors on regulatory requirements, assist them in establishing cooperative relationships with the City, and provide a pathway to permitted operations. o Upgrading a Public Services Officer Lead to a Supervisor in the Police Department, funded by reimbursements from the Airport Fund, to establish a more effective level of oversight.
o Adding a Civil Engineer, funded entirely by Transportation Impact Fee revenue, to oversee construction of mobility projects that build out the City’s multimodal network.
4.B
Packet Pg. 202
25 of 45
o Adding as-needed positions in the Community Services Department to support community use of the new Santa Monica High School pool, to be covered by fee revenues.
• Items that are directly correlated to revenues and must be adjusted when revenues are adjusted:
o Reduction of approximately $952,000 related to the revenue-sharing payment from Measure GSH to the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District, reflecting decreased Transaction and Use Tax (TUT) revenue. o Reduction of approximately $476,000 related to the revenue-sharing payment from Measure GSH to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, reflecting decreased TUT revenue.
o Adjustment of approximately $318,000 (which is recorded as a credit to the General Fund), reflecting an increased transfer from the Gas Tax Fund for greater than anticipated Gas Tax, based estimates released by the State in January 2022. Funds are primarily used for regular road maintenance.
Corrections
Approximately $674,000 are required to maintain current operations in the City Manager’s Office (Approved by Council on 9/17/21), the Library Department, Public Works and the Community Services Department. While these items are funded this year, ongoing funding must be included in the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget for certainty.
Attachment G details all staffing adjustments, including items that result in no additional costs.
Looking Forward – FY 2021-22 Year-end and Beyond
The uncertainty of COVID and the slow recovery of local revenues, ongoing labor negotiations, and the unknown outcome of a proposed revenue ballot measure, require a longer-term approach to service restoration and enhancement. Staff will continue to revisit needs as additional funding becomes available and will continue to use each
4.B
Packet Pg. 203
26 of 45
Council budget review checkpoint, including Year-End in the fall and Midyear in the winter, to determine whether updated financial data allows for the restoration or expansion of services.
To address the recovery of an economy that has been severely disrupted by the pandemic, the City must seek a combination of new ongoing and one-time revenue infusions to jump-start a higher level of economic recovery for the entire community. As previously mentioned, the City’s General Fund revenues are falling far short of the levels they would have been had the pandemic not occurred. If the TOT tax measure is successful, staff anticipates that revenues could be used to address the top concerns noted in the recent poll: addressing crime and cleanliness and addressing homelessness. Among the program expansions that respond to these needs are:
• Expansion of the City’s homeless multidisciplinary outreach teams’ work beyond the Downtown and Beach area;
• Redesign of the SAMOSHEL interim housing program to accommodate 24/7 intakes, giving additional options for after-hours intake and facilitating SMPD transports for people experiencing homelessness and non-urgent behavioral health issues. These initiatives were discussed by Council during the May 11, 2022 Special Meeting on Homelessness;
• Expansion of the Police Department’s Homeless Liaison Program (HLP); • Expansion of the Police Department’s Downtown Services Unit (DSU) and the Public Services Officer (PSO) program. These expanded teams, together, would provide the needed coverage levels for the Downtown, Pier and Beach, would further increase resources responding to people experiencing homelessness, and would allow public safety resources that have been shifted to deal with increased activity in these areas to be redistributed to neighborhoods and patrols throughout the City.
Staff is actively leveraging other funding sources. The City is participating in federal and state grant funding opportunities, including federal earmark funding and American Rescue Plan Economic Development Administration grants. These grant requests have
4.B
Packet Pg. 204
27 of 45
already provided $2 million to support the City’s initiative to build mixed-use affordable housing at 1318-20 4th Street, and if successful, may provide funding to renew Promenade infrastructure. As noted above, the Proposed Budget includes, as a no cost item that will provide significant financial benefit, the addition of a dedicated Community Partnerships Manager position that will work to responsibly leverage private sector resources.
New funds, currently unavailable, are needed to enable the restoration of programs that continue to be severely cut back and that can help further the City’s economic recovery:
• The City’s libraries. The Library is operating at 33% of its pre-pandemic level and a significant, $4 million infusion of revenue is needed to restore services to their optimal levels. As noted in this report, polling for a Library Parcel Tax that would have raised this revenue was weak.
• Youth programs are currently available to 30% of prior participants. When available, additional funding should be considered to restore programs for underserved youth at the Virginia Avenue Park (VAP) Teen Center and at PAL facilities at Memorial Park and VAP. Gap funding is also needed to enable the School District to partner with a local non-profit organization to provide supervised, after-school play time at public elementary schoolyards. • Events funding through the Art of Recovery initiative which provides grant funds to local organizations seeking to partner with the City to produce community events will operate at a lower level next year as one-time funds are discontinued.
Expenditure Adjustments and Personnel Changes - Other Funds As part of the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget, staff proposes operating expenditure adjustments that result in a $5.8 million net increase in the non-General Fund Funds.
Attachment A details all expenditure adjustments and Attachment G details the staffing adjustments.
4.B
Packet Pg. 205
28 of 45
A summary of the significant budget changes is below.
• A net $3.6 million change from transactions related to Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP), including:
o Increase of approximately $4.0 million in the Wastewater Fund due to increased operating and maintenance costs for the completed Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP),
o Adjustment of approximately $1.0 million (recorded as a reduction) in the Wastewater Fund, reflecting a transfer-in (credit) from the Clean Beaches & Ocean Parcel Tax Fund to support operating and maintenance costs for the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP),
o Increase of approximately $1.0 million in the Clean Beaches & Ocean Parcel Tax Fund, reflecting a transfer to the Wastewater Fund to support operating and maintenance costs for the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP), and
o Reduction of $450,000 in the Water Fund, reflecting a decrease in outside water purchase costs due to the completion of the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP)
• Reduction of approximately $476,000 in Special Revenue Source Fund (SRSF) related to the revenue-sharing payment from Measure GSH to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, reflecting decreased TUT revenue
• Increase of approximately $318,000 in the Gas Tax Fund, reflecting an increased transfer to the General Fund due to greater than anticipated Gas Tax HUTA estimates released from the State in January 2022
Additionally, staff recommends that Council consider the following position changes in other Funds, which will restore or enhance services.
• Community Services: Increase of approximately 1.3 as-needed FTE positions in the Beach Fund. Addition of the as-needed positions will enable the Beach House to expand hours of operation, programming, and events during the summer, the cost of which will be partially offset by additional fee-based programming revenues.
4.B
Packet Pg. 206
29 of 45
• Department of Transportation: Increase of a total 19.5 permanent FTEs and
0.9 FTE as-needed FTEs. The changes include:
o 14.0 FTE Motor Coach Operators (MCOs) positions. Increasing the number of positions will allow for a more timely transition of part-time MCOs to full-time status. This will help to improve retention and address the critical shortage of MCOs; reduce overtime expenses; enhance safety; and enable Big Blue Bus (BBB) to provide the service levels that the community expects and deserves. Currently, BBB operates with 17 FTE MCO over-hires, which enables BBB to sustain service delivery and to assist in the reduction of MCO unscheduled overtime. Without the overhires, BBB is operationally impacted in its ability to fulfill daily service demands due to the high number of long-term unplanned absences (FMLA, Workers Compensation, long term disability, etc.), daily unscheduled absences, and other attendance issues. Additionally, BBB MCO requirements call for 15 weekly vacation spots that are bid upon based on seniority, consistent with MOU terms. This issue has been exacerbated due to impacts of the pandemic. The addition of these MCO positions will not have a financial impact due to vacancy savings, which would be budgeted for accordingly, associated with the absences. Staff will be completing the work of Operators who are out due to long-term unplanned absences. After performing an analysis of MCOs absences, staff believes hiring 14 additional MCOs will ensure service delivery without impact to operations;
o Addition of 1.0 FTE Lead Customer Services Assistant permanent position, upgrade of two part-time permanent Customer Services Assistant positions (increase of 0.5 FTE), and addition of approximately 0.5 FTE asneeded position, to expand operating hours, outreach and one-on-one assistance with free or subsidized transit programs to enhance customer service and maintain equitable access to transportation; o Addition of approximately 0.5 FTE as-needed Staff Assistant III position to support administrative functions in the Transit Safety and Training Division to better support front-line staff;
4.B
Packet Pg. 207
30 of 45
o Addition of a 1.0 FTE Staff Assistant III permanent position and 1.0 FTE Assistant Administrative Analyst permanent position in the Transit Finance and Administrative Services Division to support the financial operations for the department, particularly timekeeping, procurement, and budget/financial reporting; addition of 1.0 FTE Transit Marketing Coordinator permanent position to perform outreach regarding free and subsidized transit pass programs, promote health and safety measures for BBB customers and staff, and coordinate pedestrian safety and open street programs; and, addition of 1.0 FTE Transit Mechanic II permanent position to maintain buses, City vehicles and various heavy duty equipment.

FY 2022-24 Proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Biennial Budget The City of Santa Monica biennially develops a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget (Attachment B). Funds for the first year (FY 2022-23) are approved and appropriated as part of the budget process, and funds for the second year (FY 2023-24) are approved now and will be appropriated prior to the start of the second fiscal year.
Budget plan numbers for FY 2024-25 through FY 2026-27 are included as a planning

tool to demonstrate total anticipated capital funding needs. Project needs will be reevaluated during each biennial budget cycle to ensure that budgets fall within available funding limits and best reflect current City and Council priorities.
CIP Budget Process
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget process is facilitated by a CIP Team comprised of the CIP Budget Manager, Director of Public Works, Director of Finance, the City Manager, and the Assistant City Manager. Departments prepare project application submittals for funding consideration with a priority ranking, and the CIP Team reviews and evaluates applications against the criteria outlined below. Project applications are also evaluated within the context of available funding limits to ensure that extremely limited resources fund priority projects while maintaining the City’s existing infrastructure and minimize future replacement costs.
Project application budget requests, particularly for unrestricted General Fund dollars, have significantly exceeded available funding. This requires creative strategies to leverage enterprise funds, grant funds, developer impact fees, and other funding sources to fund priority capital projects. The CIP Team evaluates projects that are competing for limited funds according to three broad criteria, defined as follows:
Mandated Activities
• Projects necessary for health and safety reasons that cannot be deferred • Projects mandated by the Federal or State government
• Projects necessary to adequately maintain existing facilities, infrastructure, or equipment
• Projects underway that have unavoidable budget shortfalls and that cannot be modified
Council / Community Priorities
• Projects that address a Council/Community Priority
• Projects that respond to a Council action or directive
4.B
Packet Pg. 209
32 of 45
• Projects identified in an adopted City planning document Fiscal Responsibility
• Projects that will improve operational efficiencies and achieve ongoing cost savings
• Projects that generate revenue
• Projects where significant outside funding has been obtained to leverage City funding
Based on evaluation against these criteria, capital budget recommendations are being presented to the City Council for consideration. The Citywide FY 2022-24 Proposed CIP Biennial Budget funds 100 capital projects across 20 Funds. The total Proposed Budget is $88.4 million in FY 2022-23, and $96.1 million in FY 2023-24. The FY 2022- 23 Proposed CIP Budget represents a decrease of $75.3 million or 46 percent compared to the FY 2021-22 Adopted CIP Budget of $163.7 million. The prior year budget included significantly more one-time projects utilizing $78 million from Water Bond resources for water infrastructure projects that advanced the Sustainable Water Master Plan.
General Fund - Capital Budget
The General Fund represents thirteen percent of the total CIP Budget over the biennial period. The FY 2022-23 proposed General Fund budget is $13.8 million, which continues to reflect a net reduction of $7.2 million to the annual $21 million General Fund CIP allocation. In FY 2023-24, the proposed General Fund budget is $13.1 million, which reflects an additional $7.9 million net decrease during the biennial period.
Resources for the biennial cycle continue to be lower than prior years due to the implemented budget measures that enabled the City to maintain essential and emergency operations throughout the recovery while preserving the City’s financial resilience to the greatest extent possible. Considering the decrease in General Fund baseline funding, the limited number of projects recommended in the proposed budget continue to largely represent critical infrastructure needs and projects that cannot be
4.B
Packet Pg. 210
33 of 45
deferred without compromising essential operations or public health and safety. More than ever, the General Fund allocation prioritizes ongoing infrastructure maintenance projects that keep neighborhoods and open spaces clean and safe. As a result, alternative funding sources and capital financing solutions will need to be employed to provide additional resources for any future large projects.
Non-General Funds - Capital Budget
The non-General Fund portion of the CIP represent eighty seven percent of the total CIP Budget over the biennial period. The total non-General Fund Proposed Budget is $86.7 million in FY 2022-23, and $95.6 million in FY 2023-24, including internal service transfers (Reimbursements and Transfers). The non-General Funds included in the CIP budget can support their respective capital improvement budgets. These resources are mostly restricted and must fund projects within their fund. However, there are several infrastructure projects for the Pier and Beach outlined in the Unfunded Projects list (Attachment B) that have been put on hold until additional resources are available to proceed with the projects.
The Capital Improvement Program Areas of Focus
The FY 2022-24 Proposed CIP Biennial Budget and the five-year Capital Plan continue to advance Council’s adopted priorities by recommending critical ongoing infrastructure maintenance activities and initiatives that provide clean and safe neighborhoods and open spaces. In addition, the five-year capital plan strategizes to advance work in several key focus areas related to parks, water and stormwater projects, and the upgrade of critical City infrastructure.
Maintaining Clean and Safe Public Spaces
The FY 2022-24 Proposed CIP budget strategically recommends funding key investments to protect the City’s existing capital investments and minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. These investments include:
• Facility improvements,
• Repaving streets,
4.B
Packet Pg. 211
34 of 45
• Renewing sidewalks,
• Maintaining parking structures and lots,
• Urban forest renewal,
• Modernizing streetlights,
• Maintaining bus stop amenities,
• Replacing aging water and sewer mains, and
• Purchasing necessary trash collection equipment which are key to the foundation of supporting a clean and safe Santa Monica.
In addition, the Biennial CIP Budget addresses safety through projects such as the procurement of new fire and police vehicles, a drone responder program, a CCTV security camera program, safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists, upgraded barriers for the Farmers’ Market and the installation of fire sprinklers and deck upgrades on the Pier.
Park Improvements and Planning
The proposed CIP Biennial Budget focuses largely on two important park-related areas:
repairing existing park infrastructure and planning for the future. Funding for existing playground replacements, pathway and parking lot repairs, and swim facility maintenance were prioritized to ensure the City’s current park assets remain operational and safe. Leveraging a mix of sources including development impact fees, Los Angeles County Measure A allocation, and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds maximizes the impact of the limited General Fund resources to allow significant improvements to the existing park system.
While previously planned projects like the Airport to Park Conversion or Memorial Park Improvements await funding opportunities that would allow them to move forward, it is crucial that initial planning efforts begin for the future airport conversion. The proposed funding sets in motion a long-term program of engagement and exploration to reimagine the Santa Monica Airport into a sustainable network of community serving uses, such as a series of verdant parks and landscaping, diverse and inviting public open spaces,
4.B
Packet Pg. 212
35 of 45
state-of-the-art recreational facilities, and reuse of existing buildings; all of which would be complimented by a coherent circulation system.
Water & Stormwater Projects
The FY 2022-24 Biennial CIP Budget advances the City’s efforts to achieve Council’s goal of becoming water self-sufficient and includes a focus on protecting the infrastructure. Proposed capital projects are programmed to rehabilitate aging infrastructure, continue to enhance water supply resiliency, improve the efficiency of our water treatment systems, increase safety for operations personnel, and develop master plans after water self-sufficiency is achieved. Several planned projects also address areas in the right-of-way that have insufficient drainage.
Modernization of Critical City Infrastructure
During the FY 2022-24 biennial period, work will continue on critical City infrastructure projects that received funding for their planning phase in previous CIP budget cycles - the Pier Bridge Replacement and the Propulsion Electric Vehicle Infrastructure for electric buses. The Pier Bridge Replacement Project would replace the existing, outdated structure with a wider structure providing one vehicular traffic lane in each direction with wider shoulders and wider sidewalks with clearances required by Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Propulsion Electric Vehicle Infrastructure project funds the construction of the structure required to accommodate electric buses, as the Department of Transportation procures battery electric transit buses. Both priority projects are being funded with restricted grant funds.
Unfunded Capital Projects
Projects that were eliminated or reduced to help close the City’s funding gap resulting from the global COVID-19 crisis or did not receive funding are listed in the Unfunded Projects table (Attachment B) and are tracked for consideration in future funding cycles.
In many cases, these are still high priority projects, but they were deferred given the limited resources. City staff will need to explore opportunities to leverage City funds with external funding. Future project proposals will also need to acknowledge workload considerations where existing staffing capacity is fully committed to other urgent
4.B
Packet Pg. 213
36 of 45
projects or limited because of the City’s restructuring. In some cases, staff can continue preliminary or related work until it is possible to fully fund a broader effort.
While there are incremental increases in the amount dedicated to capital projects each year leading to FY 2025-26, these increases will not be sufficient to address deferred infrastructure and equipment maintenance, price escalation, and a renewed focus on community amenities that were put on hold during the pandemic, such as the Memorial Park Expansion project and planning for the Airport to Park Conversion. While this biennial budget will fund the framework and planning of the Airport to Park Conversion project, a funding source for this project’s construction budget has not been identified but alternative funding options will continue to be explored.
In addition, the proposed budget also includes other unfunded projects that have been categorized in several key areas including infrastructure maintenance, new infrastructure, parks, pier and beach, planning, and streetscape and lighting. These projects are not currently funded and total almost $300 million. A few of the largest projects include:
• A complete remodel of Parking Structure 1 and other parking structure upgrades, • Gandara Park restoration,
• City Yards Modernization improvements along Michigan Ave., • City Hall North building system upgrades,
• Fire station facilities,
• Pier deck and railing upgrades, and
• The Lincoln Corridor Streetscape improvements.
In addition, several of these projects would create ongoing maintenance budget needs that would need to be accounted for when recommended for funding.
Council Discretionary Funds
Each year, Council allocates discretionary funds to assist the community in special projects or support important but otherwise unfunded priorities. Traditionally, Council
4.B
Packet Pg. 214
37 of 45
has supported community partners like the Business Improvement Districts, Santa Monica traditions like the Fourth of July Parade, one-time programs, and local students through science or music grants that allow Santa Monica youth to participate in special events. Projects and programs supported by Council discretionary funds for the past three years are detailed in Attachment H.
Allocation of the funds may occur along with Budget Adoption or throughout the year.
Including unprogrammed FY 2021-22 discretionary funds ($82,959) and FY 2022-23 discretionary funds ($122,696), the Council has access to $205,655 in discretionary funds in FY 2022-23.
City Fees, Fines and Rates
As part of the annual budget adoption process, staff presents master fee, fine, and parking resolutions to Council for approval. Highlights of proposed changes are discussed below. The actual final proposed resolutions will be presented for adoption with the Proposed Budget on June 28, 2022. The revenue adjustments associated with the changes described below have been incorporated into the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget.
Parklet Program Fee Structure
As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City established a temporary outdoor use permit program allowing businesses to obtain a permit for use of a parklet in the street, use of outdoor space on private property, and/or the use of the sidewalk for outdoor business operations, with all permit fees and, for use of public space, monthly license fees being waived. During this time, the City also waived the monthly license fees for those businesses that, prior to the pandemic, had entered into outdoor dining license agreements in the Santa Monica Sidewalk Dining program pursuant to Santa Monica Municipal Code (“SMMC”) Section 9.31.200.
The temporary use of outdoor space was initially established through emergency orders, and, on June 8, 2021, City Council adopted an ordinance establishing the Santa Monica Outdoors Pilot Program (“Pilot Program”) as SMMC Chapter 6.40. The term of
4.B
Packet Pg. 215
38 of 45
the Pilot Program and the fee waivers for both the Pilot Program and the monthly outdoor dining licenses as well as the fee waivers or reductions for the Fitness Trainer Program are due to expire on June 30, 2022. At the May 10, 2022, Council approved extending the Pilot Program and the fee waivers to September 30, 2022, to give City staff enough time to establish a formal program, develop policy, establish a workflow, conduct research, engage stakeholders, and develop a design guide for future parklet operators.
Staff recommends establishing a parklet license fee for use of the public right-of-way (PROW) that aligns with existing sidewalk dining fees, which range from $2.12-$2.66 per square foot per month and increases annually by Consumer Price Index (CPI) each year thereafter. As such, staff recommends charging $2.12 per square foot per month for parklets.
Staff is not proposing to charge an additional fee to recoup lost revenue resulting from the loss of on-street metered parking spaces. The monthly license fee is similarly aligned to the average parking meter revenue that each space generates so there is no overall net loss in revenue to the City’s General Fund. However, additional permit fees will be charged to parklet operators to recoup the cost to the City for departmental review and administration of proposed parklets, annual safety inspections, wastewater capital facilities fees, and, if applicable, a propane cylinder permit. The year one start-up cost for a parklet (two parking spaces – 320 SF in total area) is approximately $9,686 (this includes the initial permit fees and the monthly license fee for a 320 SF area), not including the cost of parklet materials, a refundable security deposit and wastewater capital facility fee if there are net new restaurant seats being added. The estimated annual cost to operate a parklet (two parking spaces), after year one fees are paid, is approximately $8,752. Table 1 in Attachment C shows an estimated breakdown of the fees for year one and Table 2 shows the estimated costs for annual renewal. A parklet of 320 SF would result in increased dining capacity of approximately 24 additional customers at any given time.

Fire Department Fees
In FY 2020-21, the City conducted a comprehensive citywide fees study that was presented to Council at the May 25, 2021 Budget Study Session. The study presented at that time excluded the Fire Department fees due to pending staff changes. Staff was to complete the Fire Department fee study during fiscal year 2021-22 and return to Council with the proposed fee changes as part of the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget.
The Fire Department has completed the fee study and proposes to increase 25 fees, decrease 76 fees, and create 14 new fees, setting the fees at the appropriate cost recovery level (in most cases 100% of the costs to provide the service). The fee adjustments are a result of a thorough analysis that reflects efficient processes, changed workflows resulting from department restructuring, and updated calculations of the full costs to provide services. The proposed new fees are primarily for services the City has been providing without recovering costs, as well as fees to meet legal requirements. Additionally, two fees for services no longer provided or redundant with other fees are proposed for deletion.
Attachment D (Fire Department User Fee Study) provides a summary of the fee study, as well as the consultant’s report.
Cemetery Fees
Staff recommends establishing new fees to recover the costs for new services being provided at the Cemetery, including marker installation and removal, extended refrigeration, and use of Cemetery chapels. Staff also recommends adjusting fees that were inadvertently omitted from prior resolutions, to align with the rest of the cemetery property and recover increasing costs, as well as removing one fee. A detailed listing of the proposed new fees and fee adjustments is shown in Attachment E.
Potential Revenue Ballot Measures
The potential ballot measures contemplated at the February 8, 2022 Council meeting included a Library Parcel Tax (a special tax requiring 2/3 voter approval), and increases to the Transient Occupancy, Parking Facility, and Business License Taxes. Staff focused on the measures that would be most feasible for the November 2022 election.
4.B
Packet Pg. 217
40 of 45
Staff determined that a Parking Facility tax increase would not result in a substantial amount of revenue and as noted in previous discussions of this measure with Council, could prove an uncertain funding source as many businesses transition employees to telework. While staff has identified potential changes to the Business License tax, due to the complexity of changes and the ongoing uncertainty around economic recovery, staff determined that the November 2022 election is not the most appropriate time to put forward these changes.
The measures that warranted further exploration were the Transient Occupancy Tax, currently assessed at a comparable rate to the City of Los Angeles and below other California cities that are major tourist destinations, and a Parcel Tax for Library services.
Transient Occupancy Tax
The City’s current transient occupancy tax (TOT) rate is 14%, last increased in 2004.
Santa Monica visitors also pay a tourism marketing district or TMD assessment - which goes to Santa Monica Travel and Tourism to fund hotel marketing - currently set at fixed rates of $1.90-$6.25 / room night, depending on the average nightly room rate of each hotel from the prior year, that approximates 1-2% of the room rate, for an effective total tax and assessment rate of approximately 15-16%. This rate is comparable to the City of Los Angeles and below that of some neighboring or other destination cities.
The table below shows Santa Monica compared to other major California tourist destinations.
City TOT

Inglewood 15.5% 15.5%

San Francisco 14% TMD 2.75% (highest tier) 16.75%
Oakland 14% TBID $1.50/ room (>50 rooms) Over 14%
Long Beach 12% TMD 3% 15%
Staff proposes a 1% increase for hotels and 3% increase for vacation rentals that will raise approximately $4.1 million annually once fully implemented. The proposed greater increase applied to vacation rentals considers the greater regulatory oversight that vacation rental properties require, and the greater impacts these vacation rental properties have on residential neighborhoods and areas not typically subject to the impacts of commercial endeavors.
This tax would be paid for entirely by visitors to Santa Monica. With the proposed increase, Santa Monica’s effective rate for hotel visitors - including the TMD assessment - would be approximately 16%-17%, still comparable to the cities shown here above.
If the City moves forward with this measure, staff recommends an associated Advisory Board made up of stakeholders and community members to advise staff and Council on the uses of some portions of TOT revenues.
Library Parcel Tax
The parcel tax would raise approximately $4 million annually and provide the funding to restore Library services to an optimal level. The budget cuts made as a result of pandemic-related revenue losses included reducing the Library’s budget by 38% and staffing by 58%. The $4 million revenue infusion would allow the Library to provide afterschool, evening and Saturday hours at all Library locations. Programs and special events, such as story times and early literacy programs, technology programs for students and seniors, workforce development workshops, and literary programs for all ages, would once again be offered at all library locations.

<10,000 square feet $172/ parcel
between 10,000 and 50,000 square feet $500/ parcel
>50,000 square feet $3,000/ parcel
This rate structure equitably charges residents of single-family homes and considers the extent to which residents use and benefit from Library services. To assess the feasibility of the proposed rate structure, staff tested a higher rate ($0.09/ square foot) and a lower rate ($0.05/ square foot) in the survey to potential voters.
The proposed rate for single-family homes is below that of similar Library Parcel taxes recently passed by voters for the Altadena Library District (at $0.10/ square foot) and the City of Berkeley ($0.1047/ square foot), both in November 2020.
Polling Results
To assess the feasibility of these options, the City commissioned Goodwin Simon Strategic Research to conduct a statistically reliable survey of Santa Monica voters. The survey demonstrated strong support for the proposed Transient Occupancy Tax increase (approximately 70%), well above the 50% majority required for passage. The poll revealed lower support for the proposed Library Parcel Tax at both the $0.09/ square foot (41% support) and $0.05/ square foot (48%) rates. This level falls clearly short of the two-thirds voter support required for passage.
Voters identified Crime and Homelessness as highly urgent issues for the community (with 73% and 93% placing each issue on the top end of a scale from least to most urgent, respectively); and identified “enhancing public safety” and “restoring services lost during the pandemic” as the most important goals to consider as the City seeks to rebuild from the pandemic. From among a list of proposed uses for the potential tax revenues, respondents indicated the strongest support for reducing crime and enhancing safety, making public areas safer and cleaner, addressing homelessness, and improving 911 response times (all at over 80% favor or strongly favor). While respondents indicated lower support for the proposed Library Parcel Tax, responses also indicated support of and value for Library services, including restoring Library
4.B
Packet Pg. 220

funding lost during the pandemic, restoring library staff, and reopening neighborhood branch libraries (all showing over 70% favor or strongly in favor).
Recommendation
Based on these findings, staff recommends that the City move forward with the proposed Transient Occupancy tax for the November 2022 ballot. Staff recommends that the City not move forward with a Library Parcel tax at this time. Staff requests Council direction to continue communications with the community about the need for additional funds and the potential use of such funds, and continue planning to place the Transient Occupancy Tax measure on the November ballot before a final Council vote at the July 12, 2022 meeting. Staff seeks direction regarding recommended ballot language, which is as follows:
Santa Monica Transient Occupancy Tax draft ballot language:
To address homelessness, improve 911 emergency response times and neighborhood police protection, make public areas safer and cleaner, including streets, sidewalks, parks, and the beach, and provide other vital City services, shall the City of Santa Monica increase the transient occupancy tax – which is paid entirely by overnight visitors – by 1% for hotels and motels, and by 3% for vacation rental properties, providing approximately $4.1 million annually, until ended by voters, with all funds benefiting Santa Monica.

PROGRAM AND BUDGET OVERVIEW
1 The City of Santa Monica biennially develops a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. Although the program spans five years, only funds for the first year (FY 2022-23) are appropriated as part of the budget process, and funds for the second year (FY 2023-24) are approved now and will be appropriated prior to the start of the second fiscal year. Budget plan numbers for FY 2024-25 through FY 2026-27 are included as a planning tool to demonstrate total anticipated capital funding needs. Project needs will be reevaluated during each biennial budget cycle to ensure that budgets fall within available funding limits and best reflect current City and Council priorities.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM POLICIES
CIP policies provide a consistent framework for identifying and financing projects Definition of Capital Projects
The Capital Improvement Program is a five-year financial plan for the acquisition, expansion or rehabilitation of land, buildings, and other major infrastructure. Projects included in the CIP budget are those with costs exceeding $50,000 and useful lives of more than three years, and most involve public infrastructure construction.
General Policies
• The City will biennially plan for capital improvements for a five-year period of time The Capital Improvement Program will incorporate City Council priorities, long-range community objectives, and projects that will improve City operational efficiency. • The City will maintain all assets at a sufficient level to protect the City’s capital investment and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. • A current inventory of the City’s physical assets, their condition, and remaining useful life will be maintained.
Financial Policies
• The City will identify estimated capital and operating costs as well as funding sources for each capital project recommended to the City Council. • The City will seek grants and other intergovernmental assistance to finance only those capital improvements that are consistent with the CIP, and where the operating and maintenance costs and grant match requirements have been considered. • The City will enter into long-term borrowing to finance capital improvements only when annual debt service payments can be financed from current revenues. • Capital projects that are debt-financed will amortize the debt over a period of time not to exceed the expected useful life of the project.

PROGRAM AND BUDGET OVERVIEW
2 BUDGET PROCESS
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget process is a five-year planning cycle, updated biennially, and facilitated by a CIP Team comprised of the Director of Public Works, Director of Finance, the City Manager, and the Assistant City Manager.
Departments prepare project application submittals for funding consideration with a priority ranking, and the CIP Team reviews and evaluates applications against the criteria outlined below. Project applications are also evaluated within the context of available funding limits to ensure that extremely limited resources fund priority projects while maintaining the City’s existing infrastructure and minimize future replacement costs.
Project Scoring
Project application budget requests, particularly for unrestricted General Fund dollars, have exceeded available funding. The CIP Team evaluates projects that are competing for limited funds according to three broad criteria, defined as follows:
Mandated Activities
• Projects necessary for health and safety reasons that cannot be deferred • Projects mandated by the Federal or State government
• Projects necessary to adequately maintain existing facilities, infrastructure, or equipment
• Projects underway that have unavoidable budget shortfalls and that cannot be modified
Council / Community Priorities
• Projects that address a Council Priority
• Projects that respond to a Council action or directive • Projects identified in an adopted City planning document Fiscal Responsibility
• Projects that will improve operational efficiencies and achieve ongoing cost savings • Projects that generate revenue
• Projects where significant outside funding has been obtained to leverage City funding Based on evaluation against these criteria, capital budget recommendations are presented to the City Council for consideration.

PROGRAM AND BUDGET OVERVIEW
3 IMPACTS ON GENERAL FUND BUDGET RESOURCES
The annual General Fund capital budget allocation was increased from $13 million to $21 million in FY 2015-16 to help offset the loss of redevelopment funding for capital improvements and had remained level until FY2020-21. As a result of COVID-19, staff recommended a reduction in the FY2020-21 and FY2021-22 annual $21 million General Fund CIP allocations to $6.8 million and $8.9 million respectively, releasing an additional $24.2 million in one-time costs over the two-year period. The FY 2022-23 and FY 2023- 24 base allotment and prior year CIP project savings allocated to the CIP budget are $13.8 million and $13.1 million, respectively, with funding restored to the $21 million level in FY 2025-26. While there are very small increases in the amount dedicated to capital projects each year leading to FY 2025-26, these increases are not enough to address deferred infrastructure and equipment maintenance, price escalation in this area, and a renewed focus on community amenities that were put on hold during the pandemic, such as the Memorial Park Expansion project and planning for the Airport to Park Conversion. Beginning in FY 2026-27, the forecast assumes two years of additional $4 million contributions beyond the $21 million baseline program. Considering the decrease in General Fund baseline funding, the limited number of projects proposed in the upcoming budget cycle continue to largely represent critical infrastructure needs and projects that cannot be deferred without compromising essential operations or public health and safety. More than ever, the General Fund allocation can only fund critical ongoing infrastructure maintenance projects. As a result, alternative funding sources and capital financing solutions will need to be employed to provide additional resources for any future large projects.
BUDGET SUMMARY BY FUND
The Citywide CIP Proposed Biennial Budget funds 100 capital projects across 20 Funds.
The total Proposed Budget is $88.4 million in FY 2022-23, and $96.1 million in FY 2023-24.
CIP Budget Summary by Fund
The FY 2022-23 Proposed CIP Budget represents a decrease of $75.3 million or 46 percent compared to the FY 2021-22 Adopted CIP Budget of $163.7 million.

BUDGET BUDGET PLAN
General Fund
The General Fund represents thirteen percent of the total CIP Budget over the biennial period. The FY2022-23 proposed General Fund budget is $13.8 million, which continues to reflect a net reduction of $7.2 million to the annual $21 million General Fund CIP allocation after City Hall East debt service and prior year CIP savings are factored into the total. In FY 2023-24, the proposed General Fund budget is $13.1 million, which reflects an additional $7.9 million net decrease during the biennial period. Resources for the biennial cycle continue to be lower than prior years due to the implemented budget measures that enable the City to maintain essential and emergency operations throughout the pandemic while preserving the City’s financial resilience to the greatest extent possible.
Non-General Funds
The non-General Funds included in the CIP budget can support their respective capital improvement budgets. These resources are mostly restricted and must fund projects within their fund. However, there are several infrastructure projects for the Pier and Beach outlined in the Unfunded Projects list that have been put on hold until additional resources are available to proceed with the projects.

PROGRAM AND BUDGET OVERVIEW
5 FY 2022-24 CIP Budget by Fund (two-year total by percentages)
IMPACTS TO THE ONGOING OPERATING BUDGET
Capital projects that increase the number of facilities or expand existing infrastructure can impact ongoing operating costs for the City. The projects proposed in this five-year plan will add an estimated $131,500 to the General Fund operating budget in FY 2023- 24 and increasing to a potenial estimated $312,900 in FY2024-25 if all of the proposed projects are completed.
The most significant increases incl ude $162,900 annually to continue the Drone as a First Responder Program and $20,000 for annual maintenance of the Library Wi-Fi infrastructure starting in FY 2023-24. Additionally, an estimated $150,000 annually will be required starting in FY 2024-25 for the Procurement and Contract Management Software software system and the public safety radio equipment that require ongoing maintenance costs. These types of ongoing costs are considered during the CIP Budget Process to ensure that the Capital Budget Plan does not create unsustainable ongoing maintenance needs. The costs are also included in the five-year financial forecast in all scenarios.
Operations and maintenance costs associated with capital projects approved in prior biennial CIP budgets are updated regularly and continually inform updated five-year forecasts and operating budget proposals. Operating budget increases in non-General Funds can be supported by those funds.

PROGRAM AND BUDGET OVERVIEW
6 UNFUNDED PROJECTS
Projects that were eliminated or reduced to help close the City’s funding gap resulting from the global COVID-19 crisis or did not receive funding are listed in the Unfunded Projects table and are tracked for consideration in future funding cycles. In many cases, these are still high priority projects, but they were deferred given the limited resources.
City staff will need to explore opportunities to leverage City funds with external funding.
Future project proposals will also need to acknowledge workload considerations where existing staffing capacity is fully committed to other urgent projects or limited as a result of the City’s restructuring. In some cases, staff is able to continue preliminary or related work until it is possible to fully fund a broader effort.
While there are incremental increases in the amount dedicated to capital projects each year leading to FY 2025-26, these increases will not be sufficient to address deferred infrastructure and equipment maintenance, price escalation, and a renewed focus on community amenities that were put on hold during the pandemic, such as the Memorial Park Expansion project and planning for the Airport to Park Conversion. While this biennial budget wil fund the framework and planning of the Aiport to Park Conversion project, a funding source for this project’s construction buget has not been identifed but alternative funding options will continue to be explored.
CONTINUING PROJECTS
This budget document represents all projects that are recommended to receive new budget appropriations in FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24, as well as a few projects that are in the budget plan for FY 2024-27. Due to the multi-year nature of capital projects and the fiscal best practice requiring that budget be allocated in the first year that a contract is awarded rather than on a projected cash flow basis, it is common for unspent budget to be “rolled over” from one fiscal year to another to allow for the completion of an approved project scope within contract and budget authority. Some projects that already received a budget allocation in FY 2021-22 or prior but are not yet complete may have unspent, approved budget rolled over into FY 2022-23. This will be determined after the current fiscal year closes, so these amounts are not included in the FY 2022-23 through FY 2026-27 capital plan. All active projects, regardless of the year of the initial budget appropriation, will be reported in a CIP Annual Report to Council, which will be issued after the prior fiscal year closes and final expenditures are tallied.

Project Description
Phase I of the Beach Master Plan will inform short- and long-term management of the Santa Monica State Beach and its amenities with an emphasis on supporting the overall beach visitor experience, realizing a balance between economic and environmental sustainability, and positioning the City to take advantage of major events like the 2028 Olympics. The project area is roughly 2.8 miles long and 650 feet wide from the Pacific Ocean to the first public road. The study will seek actionable recommendations for environmental and economic sustainability, image and identity, facilities and asset management, circulation and access, equity and environmental justice, programs and uses, safety and security. Phase I will specifically focus on a community process to engage a variety of beach stakeholders to confirm the needs and perspectives of businesses, visitors, and residents and an Asset Management Plan to include a comprehensive beach maintenance strategy to include facilities, utilities, and infrastructure.
Project Justification
Open 24 hours a day, the beach attracts millions of visitors each year who are eager to enjoy recreational opportunities, sand and surf and the amenities. Major attractions include the Santa Monica Pier, original Muscle Beach and slackline park, playgrounds, the Beach Trail, the Annenberg Community Beach House, and beach volleyball courts. Revenues generated from operations and events at the Beach are used exclusively to support beach operations. However, the Beach Fund has a structural deficit, typically generating sufficient revenues to support operations but not all the required capital improvements necessary to maintain the Beach assets.
This project would identify the highest priorities and inform budget planning.

Project Description
This project would install ten additional volleyball courts and explore the feasibility of installing lights at the 1200 Ocean Front Walk location. Beach volleyball has been steadily growing in popularity since it was introduced as an NCAA scholarship sport 10 years ago. Currently, there are 4 lighted courts at the Pier and are the only lighted courts in LA County that are open to the public. The FY 20-21 CIP budget for this project was $98,000, and an additional $68,500 is needed in FY 2022-23.
Project Justification
The continued growth in the popularity of beach volleyball has created excess demand at several locations and conflicts between recreational players and tournaments. This project seeks to better distribute activity through the beach by adding courts to the Arizona location and creating a tournament venue. The addition of more lighted courts at this location will also increase opportunities for evening play.

Project Description
This project would fund the replacement of the Annenberg Community Beach House electronic scrapbook, a core element of mandated Interpretive Services. To retain this repository of Beach House history, the exhibit must be rebuilt with current, and future forward technology.
Project Justification
The technology of the electronic scrapbook is obsolete and is in danger of becoming unusable. It needs to be updated to retain important elements of the Interpretative Master Plan. The experiential electronic scrapbook is an accessible and core component of Beach House interpretive services, which are mandated in the City’s agreement with the Annenberg Foundation. The scrapbook represents a cumulative history of the site’s development through the decades.

Project Description
This project would fund the
recontextualization of the City Hall
murals through community engagement,
companion works, and a supportive lobby experience that will make City Hall welcoming for all who enter. For this project, staff will engage our diverse population by engaging the public in a dialogue about the messages conveyed by the historic murals regarding our social, political, and racial history. The project will then create other companion works that will provide balance to the message through an array of voices and perspectives through a series of community conversations, art activations, and other engagement measures, with the ultimate deliverable being permanent or temporary art installation(s) that provide a counterbalance to the existing City Hall murals by more accurately depicting our history and our community. The requested CIP funds would be supplemented by $70,000 in Percent for Art funds that have been approved by the Arts Commission for this public art commission and $50,000 that was budgeted in FY 2021- 22 for the lobby mural project.
Project Justification
The City’s commitment to equity and inclusion demands that our public spaces be welcoming to all members of our community. The representations depicted in the historic murals in City Hall do not reflect this commitment to inclusion and should be addressed by providing additional artworks that round out the stories told in the murals in a way that more accurately reflects our history.

This project would provide funding
for modifications to the current glass
paneled bi-fold storefront doors, security
upgrades to the metal grate walls between the bike parking area and the parking structure, and enhanced ventilation for the facility to address brake dust from vehicles circulating within the attached parking structure (PS8). The city designed and installed the storefront approximately 11 years ago, and the facility needs repair to resume bike center operations. Budget in the amount of $100,600 was budgeted for this project in FY 2021-22 for storefront doors and repairs.
Unfortunately, the temporary repairs have not been sufficient to prevent vandalism and the membership area at the Colorado location is not currently operable due to the extent of the vandalism.
Project Justification
Repair is needed to resume secure bike parking operations at the bike center and promote sustainable transportation for downtown employees and visitors. The membership facility within the Bike Center in Parking Structure 8 is currently not operable due to recurring vandalism. When operable, the Bike Center supports City transportation and sustainability goals by providing secure bike parking, lockers, showers, and changing facilities for bicycle commuters traveling to and from Downtown Santa Monica as well as local Downtown residents. Bike center operations generate revenue for the city in the form of base rent plus profit sharing. Bayside District Parking Levy Assessment funds have been identified as an eligible funding source for the repairs and security upgrades at PS8.

This ongoing project maintains all City
parking structures and parking lots at a
standard level of repair, including items
such as signage replacement, minor collision repair, bollard replacement, painting, restriping of lane lines, spalling repairs, light fixture replacement, and other projects as- needed.
Project Justification
This request addresses the ongoing scheduled preventive maintenance and repair of parking structure components exposed to weather, vandalism, and high usage in uncontrolled environments. Stepped up maintenance will prevent preliminary problems from becoming more severe. Many of the repairs are due to normal wear and tear but tampering and minor vandalism (graffiti and stickers) play an unfortunate role in the maintenance, which ultimately makes it difficult to maintain a good state of repair.

Project Description
This project would fund the replacement and installation of over 30 access points covering Main Library, Fairview, Montana, and Ocean Park branch facilities. The current Wi-Fi equipment is discontinued and no longer supported by the vendor. In addition, there are a significant number of users unable to log in to the wireless due to noncompliance with current security (SSL) standards.
Project Justification
The Santa Monica Public Library needs to replace discontinued wireless equipment. The replacement would provide at least another 5 years of operations. Without this upgrade users at the library will have difficulty onboarding to our Wi-Fi. As the library continues to open its doors to the public and patrons are allowed to sit down and use their devices at the library this will become a significant issue. Due to the current hardware no longer being maintained many devices will no longer be able to log in the Wi-Fi. Many in the community continue to rely on the internet provided at the library as an essential gateway for information, as well as for recreation and connection to the world.

Project Description
This project would fund the first step
towards defining the future of the airport property by engaging the community in exploring the entire airport land’s potential to enhance the viability of urban communities and connect with local and regional populations through improved land use strategies, circulation improvements, and recreational offerings including the creation of a grand park that was approved in concept by voters in 2014. The project scope would include the creation of a planning framework spelling out the steps and timeline required for a successful public process. The development of the framework will be supported by community engagement, market and economic analysis that contend with planning alternatives built around land use, design scale, transportation and connectivity, and sustainable policy and governance. These efforts will then lead into the development of a specific plan for the area that focuses on the established vision, land use and zoning creation, required infrastructure improvements, and an implementation plan.
Project Justification
With local control of the airport set to arrive in 2029, it is imperative that a planning and community outreach process begin as soon as possible. To ensure a robust and healthy public process that can lead to a successful conclusion, it is necessary to create a clear framework outlining the steps required to get there. This project sets in motion a long-term program of engagement and exploration to reimagine the Santa Monica Airport into a sustainable network of regional and community serving uses that are complimented by a coherent circulation system, a series of verdant parks and landscaping, diverse and inviting public open spaces, state-of-theart recreational facilities, and reuse of existing buildings to support a sustainable local economy and a cultural/arts community.

Project Description
This project would fund the replacement
of failing permeable concrete, and
pathways with standard surfacing.
The parking lot surface needs to be removed and replaced with a more standardized concrete or asphalt that can be resurfaced. The pathways need to be replaced with concrete or decomposed that provide a safe walking surface.
Project Justification
This pathways and parking lot are used by citizens citywide who use the sports field, dog park, and barbeque areas. The pathways at Airport Park are failing and need to be replaced to maintain clean and safe public spaces. In addition, the permeable concrete used at Airport Park Parking lot is degrading. Unlike standard concrete, the permeable concrete is weathering away, crumbling rather than cracking. The issue cannot be solved by resurfacing and Engineering recommends removing the permeable concrete and installing a standard parking surface.

Project Description
This project would fund the replacement
of the City’s current Agenda Management Software for City Council meetings. Staff would would look to purchase an existing agenda management system that is commercially available without significant customizations, is in use by other jurisdictions of a similar size and complexity and has been proven to operate effectively over time. In addition, project scope would include the migration of any necessary data from the old software, include software for boards and commissions, and provide training for staff. The budget request also includes funding for system configuration to transition agenda review to SharePoint.
Project Justification
The City’s current software was implemented in 2015 and since then, it was acquired by other companies, and it is no longer supported by the original developer. There have also been enhancements to agenda management software such as public portals that allow users to search for historical meeting records, submit written comments or requests to speak that are not available in the current software. Continuing to work with unsupported software could cause loss of data, compatibility issues with integrated systems or system failure, compliance issues, and reduce operational efficiencies.

Packet Pg. 365 Attachment: Attachment C - Estimated Parklet Fees (4754 : 22-23 Proposed Budget and 22-24 Capital Improvement Budget) Fire Department User Fee Study
In FY 2020-21, the City conducted a comprehensive citywide fees study that was presented to Council at the May 25, 2021 Budget Study Session. That study excluded the Fire Department fees because of pending staff changes. Staff was to complete the Fire Department study during fiscal year 2021-22 and return to Council with the proposed fee changes as part of the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget.
The Fire Department fee study proposes to increase 25 fees, decrease 76 fees, and create 14 new fees, to set the fees at the appropriate cost recovery level (in most cases 100% of the costs to provide the service). The fee adjustments are a result of more efficient processes and changing workflows resulting from department restructuring, legislative requirements, and more accurate calculations of the full costs to provide services. The proposed new fees are primarily for services the City has provided without recovering costs, as well as fees to meet legal requirements. Additionally, two fees for services no longer provided or redundant with other fees are proposed for deletion.
The following table lists the proposed new fees. Further detail on all other fee changes is included in the User Fee Study Summary sheet. The fee changes will be included in the City’s master fee resolution, which will be presented to Council for approval at the time of budget adoption.
