Summary
As presented to City Council on May 24, 2022, the FY 2022-23 Proposed Operating Budget and the FY 2022-24 Proposed Biennial Capital Improvement Program Budget is a balanced budget. The Budget comes as the City gradually recovers after a General Fund revenue loss of over $180 million over three years due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The City, like the entire country, is experiencing significant cost increases resulting from high inflation, market disruptions from the war in Ukraine, and supply chain issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Given the current level of economic uncertainty, the FY 2022-23 Operating Budget is focused on no-cost operational adjustments to improve service delivery for the community, required budget corrections, as well as incorporating previous Council 3 of 17
direction to fund the Directed Action Response Team (DaRT), formerly known as the Pier Vending Task Force, for another year. The first year (FY 2022-23) of the FY 2022- 24 Proposed Biennial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget makes strategic investments in maintaining and enhancing critical City infrastructure and City facilities essential to providing services. Funding for critical infrastructure protects the City’s existing capital investment and minimizes future maintenance and replacement costs.

This report presents information and requests actions necessary to adopt the FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and adopt the first year of the FY 2022-24 Biennial CIP Budget for the City of Santa Monica, the Santa Monica Housing Authority, and the Santa Monica Parking Authority. Staff also requests that Council approve the second year of the FY 2022-24 Biennial CIP Budget. Since the City Charter requires Council to adopt a budget annually, staff will submit the second year (FY 2023-24) of the CIP Budget to Council for formal adoption, with any necessary revisions, in June 2023.

The City released its FY 2022-24 Proposed Biennial CIP Budget and presented its FY 2022-23 Proposed Operating Budget Adjustments to Council at the May 24, 2022 Budget Study Session (Attachment N). At the Budget Study Session, Council asked staff detailed questions and heard extensive public testimony. After discussion, members of Council expressed support for the Proposed Budget but hoped that staff would be able to further shift resources to support sports field restoration and youth programming.

Staff has made some minor adjustments (final changes) to the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget presented to Council on May 24, reflecting the new parklets program being presented to Council on June 28, 2022, one-time funding to the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) to provide a new model supervised afterschool playtime program at all seven elementary schoolyards, and the appropriation of funds for new grant awards. The overall FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget as revised is $665.3 million, net of reimbursements and transfers. This is a difference of approximately $533,000 over what was presented in the initial proposed budget on May 24. Of this 4 of 17
amount, approximately $464,000 is in the General Fund and $69,000 is in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund.

The report also provides information on the City’s plan to restore sports fields, per Council’s direction at the May 24 Study Session, as well as the updated balance of available Council Discretionary Funds, reflecting the 4th of July Parade allocation made by Council on May 24 (Item 13A).

Finally, this report includes actions necessary to revise certain fees and fines; establish parking rates; set the annual Gann appropriations limit; approve the allocation of SB-1 Gas Tax funding to eligible projects; accept a grant renewal from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Continuum of Care Program, to help individuals move into supportive permanent housing; accept two grant awards from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for the purchase of bulletproof vests and to fund additional overtime operations for special details, mainly targeting analysis of crime patterns, that reduce crime and keep neighborhoods safe; modify the City’s agreement with West Coast Care Foundation for homeless outreach services; and approve a new policy to provide six weeks of Paid Parental Leave.

Discussion
The Citywide FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget presented for adoption has been revised from the budget first presented to the public on May 24, 2022 to reflect final changes based on new information received. The overall FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget as revised is $665.3 million, as summarized in the following table.

Final changes to Proposed Budget
Expenditures
The modifications to the Proposed Budget, known as final changes, increase the expenditure budget by approximately $533,000 in FY 2022-23. These changes are no-cost adjustments, as they are offset by revenues generated from the new parklets program presented to Council on June 28, one-time funds made available from a onetime increase in the use of consumer protection reserve funds to cover consumer protection-related expenditures in the City Attorney’s Office, and revenues from new grant awards.

The changes include appropriations in the General Fund of $64,000 for the addition of a

0.5 FTE Public Works Inspector position to provide inspection services for the new parklets program and $400,000 for a payment to the SMMUSD to provide a supervised afterschool playtime program at the district’s elementary schoolyards, as well as a $69,000 appropriation in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund reflecting two grant awards, the Learn to Swim Program grant and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice grant, which were not included in the proposed budget presented to Council on May 24.

Revenues
The final changes to the FY 2022-23 revenues include an increase of approximately $242,000 in the General Fund for the new parklets program and approximately $69,000 in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund, reflecting the grant awards described above.

Staff recommends that Council adopt the final changes to the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget. With these changes, the budget remains balanced. The changes are listed in Attachment D.
6 of 17
Personnel Changes
In addition to the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions presented in the initial proposed budget on May 24, an additional change is being proposed, resulting in the addition of

0.5 FTE Public Works Inspector position related to the new parklets program. This change is included in Attachment I.

Also included in Attachments H and I are required adjustments to employee classifications, compensation and position adjustments, resulting from classification and compensation studies conducted by the Human Resources Department. Any budget impact associated with these adjustments was included in the proposed budget presented to Council on May 24.

Budget Resolutions
Adopting the resolutions in Attachments A, B, and C would:
• Adopt the FY 2022-23 budget revenues at the account level, with operating expenditure appropriations for the Salaries and Wages and Supplies and Expenses major expenditure categories within a fund for each department, and capital improvement program budget within a fund;
• Authorize staff to roll over appropriations for multi-year operating grants not completed at the end of the fiscal year, including federal recovery funding, unspent donations dedicated to programs, and funds for the encumbrances of goods and services ordered and contracted for by FY 2021-22 year-end but not delivered or provided until FY 2022-23;
• Authorize staff to roll over appropriations for Council discretionary and unexpended encumbrances of the FY 2021-22 Budget for the City’s General Fund; and,
• Authorize staff to roll over appropriations for the General Fund and all other NonGeneral Fund unencumbered balances and unexpended encumbrances for the FY 2021-22 CIP budget.

Gann Appropriations Limit
In November 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4, which amended the State Constitution to require state and local governments to adopt an annual appropriation limit. This limit is commonly known as the “Gann Limit”. Under the Gann Limit, a maximum amount is established for annual tax-funded government services. That amount is to be adjusted each year depending on changes in state population, inflation and the transfer of financial responsibility for various government activities from one level of government to another. Any significant amount of state tax revenue received above that Gann Limit is to lead to future tax rebates or tax cuts. Every June, along with budget adoption, City Council adopts a resolution establishing the Gann appropriations limit for the City of Santa Monica.

The California Department of Finance is mandated to provide the requisite price and population change data for local jurisdictions to calculate their appropriations limit. The City may increase its limit annually in two ways: 1) by the percentage change from the preceding year in county or city population and 2) the percentage change in State per capita personal income or the change in non-residential new construction valuation.

The proposed Gann appropriations limit for FY 2022-23 is calculated as follows:

FY 2021-22 (current year) Gann Limit $ 2,535,966,926
Multiplied by Percentage Change in Per Capita Personal Income 1.0755 Multiplied by County of Los Angeles Population Growth 0.9929 Proposed FY 2022-23 Gann Limit $ 2,708,067,659
Appropriations Subject to Gann Limit 295,049,745
Net Under / (Over) Limit $ 2,413,017,914
Appropriations controlled by the Gann Appropriations Limit, primarily in the General Fund, are $2,413,017,914 below the limit. Examples of tax revenues governed by the Gann Appropriations Limit are: property taxes, sales tax, transaction and use tax, transient occupancy tax, utility tax, parking facility tax, and the business license tax. 8 of 17
These revenues subject to the limit are reduced by any refunds, certain benefits payments, qualified capital projects, and court or federal mandates.

A resolution to establish the City’s FY 2022-23 Gann Appropriations Limit is included in Attachment J.

Fees/Fines/Rates
Master fee, fine, and parking rate resolutions are annually presented to Council as part of the budget adoption process.

The master fee resolution (Attachment E) contains user fees and rates charged by the City. Per previous Council actions, most City user fees will increase administratively by

3.1% on July 1, 2022, reflecting the FY 2022-23 increase in total City compensation (which includes salary, healthcare, retirement, and workers’ compensation costs) projected at the time of preparation of the Proposed FY 2022-23 Budget. Also included in the resolution are new fees and modifications to existing fees, as presented to Council during the May 24, 2022 budget study session, including a new parklet license fee, Fire Department fee changes reflecting the results of a departmental cost of services study, and revisions to certain Cemetery fees. Lastly, the resolution includes increases to the existing local taxi rates, which have been unchanged since 2011. A comparison of the existing and proposed local taxi rates to peer cities is detailed in Attachment Q.

Most of the fines included in the Master Fine resolution (Attachment F) have remained unchanged from the previous fiscal year with the following exceptions:
• The Fire Department annually revises certain fines to remain consistent with the California Fire Code. In addition, a new fine in the amount of $500 is proposed to deter the public from using or possessing combustible fuels on the Pier because of the risk they pose for the safety of the public and as prohibited by Chapter

3.36 of the Municipal Code.
• The Code Enforcement Division is recommending an increase to an existing fine from $75 to $250 for failure to comply with the administrative regulations for the 9 of 17
Outdoors Pilot Program. The increase will provide a more accurate cost of the amount of staff time that is required to investigate complaints. The increase in the fine is permitted per Chapter 6.40 of the Municipal Code.

Finally, a comprehensive parking rates resolution (Attachment G) states all of the parking fees and rates and provides for Council to affirmatively approve them. All transient and monthly rates for on-street and off-street parking at City owned facilities are unchanged from their current levels. The resolution also provides for preferential parking permits to increase by 3.1%, reflecting the FY 2022-23 increase in total City compensation (which includes salary, healthcare, retirement, and workers’ compensation costs) projected at the time of preparation of the Proposed FY 2022-23 Budget, as well as minor adjustments to address operational needs and administrative language clean up items.

SB-1 Gas Tax Revenues
In April 2017, SB 1, formally known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act (RMRA) of 2017, was signed into law. SB1 establishes the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (RMRP) to address deferred maintenance on the state highway and local street and road systems. Current fund estimates provided by the League of California Cities indicate that the City of Santa Monica will be eligible to receive approximately $2.1 million in SB1 funding in FY 2022-23, in addition to the City’s existing annual gas tax revenues of approximately $2.7 Million. Staff recommends approving the attached resolution (Attachment K) identifying the use of FY 2022-23 SB1 estimated allocation of $2.1 million for the Annual Paving and Sidewalk Repair Program capital improvement project, which was already included in the FY 2022-24 Proposed CIP Budget that was presented to Council on May 24.

Acceptance of Grant Awards that Require Council Approval Acceptance of Federal Continuum of Care (CoC) Renewal Grants The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is a federally-funded competitive grant program that provides a housing subsidy (supportive housing) to homeless, disabled households.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a Continuum 10 of 17
of Care (CoC) grant for FY 2022-23 in the amount of $4,447,586. Staff is requesting authorization to accept the grant funds from HUD to support the City’s Continuum of Care Program, which assists sheltered and unsheltered homeless people by providing the housing and/or services needed to help individuals move into supportive permanent housing, with the goal of long-term stability. The funding for this grant is in the Housing Authority Fund and was already included in the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget that was presented to Council on May 24.
2021 Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Grant
The US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded the Santa Monica Police Department a two-year grant as part of the 2021 BVP grant program. This grant would reimburse SMPD for 50 percent of the cost of approximately 70 replacement bulletproof vests purchased under the program. Bulletproof vests are an important tool for keeping officers safe in the field. Bulletproof vests are on a five-year replacement cycle because of the degradation of the Kevlar from repetitive use. These funds will support the purchase of vests through 2023. The funding for this grant was already included in the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget presented to Council on May 24.

Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) 2021
The JAG program is a formula grant that provides funding to support a range of program areas including law enforcement. Santa Monica has been an annual recipient of varying amounts of Justice Department grant funds for the past eleven years. The JAG 2021 amount is $54,255 and SMPD plans to leverage these funds mainly on additional overtime operations for special details, mainly targeting analysis of crime patterns, that reduce crime and keep neighborhoods safe, as well as the purchase of tasers for the department’s custody officers. Without the JAG funds, the opportunity to respond to unanticipated neighborhood crime and public safety concerns is reduced.

The appropriation of funds for this grant is included with final changes as detailed in Attachment D.
11 of 17
Contract Modification
West Coast Care Foundation Contract
As part of the City’s response to homelessness, the City entered into a five-year agreement with West Coast Care Foundation in 2018 for homeless outreach services.

This agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2022. Due to the ongoing discussions on how to best address homelessness, staff recommends an extension of the agreement on a month-to-month basis, for a period not to exceed one-year. The extension allows for continued discussion and direction from City Council on the City’s overall direction on homelessness, assessment of the findings from the Moss Adams audit of homeless service delivery, an assessment of the collaboration with the Community Response Unit (CRU) and the Mental Health Therapeutic Van, and alignment of the request for homeless outreach services with the Human Services Grant Program Request for Proposals (RFP), which is scheduled for release in Fall 2022, with the next grant cycle beginning in FY 2023-24. The one-year extension is in the amount of $150,000, resulting in a six-year amended contract in an amount not to exceed $1,150,000. The modification would be funded from the Fire Department’s FY 2022-23 budget.

Paid Parental Leave
On February 8, 2022, the City Council requested that the City Manager provide to the City Council as part of the FY 2022-23 exception-based budget, information related to implementation of a paid parental leave policy for City staff that could take effect in FY 2022-23.

Following that meeting, staff met with the City Manager to discuss options and review current benefits. The City believes that this should be a top priority for the workforce and that the absence of such a policy is negatively impacting recruitment, retention, and employee morale.

Based on this feedback, the City Manager directed Human Resources staff to consult with other agencies and conduct a thorough search and review benchmark studies to evaluate parental leave options. Through these efforts, staff found that implementing this type of benefit in Santa Monica would be a positive factor in recruitment and 12 of 17
retention in a tight labor market. The City’s efforts are aligned with growing efforts internally for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in addition to statewide and nationally for gender equity and family- supportive work cultures.

Staff recommends approval of a new Citywide policy to provide six weeks of Paid Parental Leave (PPL) at 100% of the employee’s salary effective July 1, 2022, for the birth, adoption, or foster placement of a child, regardless of the gender, marital status, or sexual orientation of the parent. PPL may be taken at any time during the twelvemonth period immediately following the birth, adoption, or placement of a child with the employee. An employee must have been with the City for 12 months to become eligible for the benefit.

The proposed policy can be supplemented with additional leaves as accrued by the employee and is competitive with similar benefits currently provided by other local government employers. Current federal and state laws provide job protection and the continuation of benefits for new parents to take up to 12 weeks for the birth, adoption, or foster placement of a child. Although these laws provide job protections and continued benefits, there is no requirement to provide pay for employees during their leave. This new policy supplements these state and federal leave entitlements with pay.

Potential Financial Impacts
Based on a review of recent leave certifications taken for the birth of a child and/or bonding and new child dependent benefits enrollments, it is anticipated that approximately 36 parental leaves may be taken on an annual basis.

The salaries and benefits for employees who take family leave are budgeted as part of an employee’s regular annual salary and work hours. The City may incur additional costs, not currently budgeted, if the leave results in the department being required to use overtime or hire a temporary employee to fill in for the employee on leave. These additional costs may be covered through vacancy or other savings. Staff will monitor the costs of this benefit and return in the future with any required budget adjustments. 13 of 17
Supervised Afterschool Playtime
Prior to the pandemic, the City’s CREST program offered supervised, afterschool playtime at Santa Monica’s public elementary schoolyards. Many families relied on the program to ensure that their children were supervised until they could pick them up from school. During the pandemic budget restructuring of 2020, funding associated with the City’s supervised, afterschool playtime programming was eliminated. As schools reopened in 2021, families asked the City and SMMUSD to revive the previous program or create a new program to provide supervised playtime for their children. For Academic Year 2021-22, SMMUSD was able to find one-time funding to support a new model of supervised, afterschool playtime for one year. Unfortunately, SMMUSD was unable to find qualified staff to implement it. With Academic Year 2022-2023 on the horizon, families have again requested that supervised, afterschool playtime be provided at elementary schools.

Given SMMUSD’s challenges in hiring staff to provide such a program, SMMUSD has been in discussions with a local, non-profit youth organization to provide supervised, afterschool playtime at the elementary schools. Under the proposed program, afterschool supervision would be provided at all seven elementary schoolyards from school dismissal until 4:30 pm. Families would enroll in the program, reserve places for their children, and pay a modest fee, currently estimated at approximately $40 per month, in order to provide accountability to help ensure that staffing and attendance correlate. However, the proposed fee would cover only a portion of the costs to operate the program. As a result, staff recommends that $400,000 of one-time funds be allocated to SMMUSD to fill the gap associated with implementing SMMUSD’s new model of supervised, afterschool playtime for one year. This program would be funded using one-time funds made available from a one-time increased use of consumer protection reserve funds to cover consumer protection-related expenditures in the City Attorney’s Office. In order to continue to offer gap funding for future academic years, new revenue will be necessary.

Restoration of Sports Fields
14 of 17
Staff has identified one-time savings within Public Works’ budget that can adequately fund the restoration of sports fields for FY 2022-23. The funding of approximately $145,000 will provide Public Landscape staff with the capacity to perform full field restorations and maintenance work throughout the year. These activities include:
• Turf aeration
• Reseeding
• Addressing soil compaction and leveling
• Infield clay replacement and conditioning
• Fertilization
For FY 2022-23, field restorations would allow for the removal of the fencing at Clover Park’s main field in the spring of 2023 (field restorations occur in the winter when organized sports are off-season), and would also include full field restoration of Memorial Park’s main field, Clover Park’s extension field and the Los Amigos Park’s field. Additionally, these funds will allow for an increased level of service throughout the year for all sports fields, preserving their condition and high level of playability. New revenue will be necessary to continue to fund this service in future budget cycles.

Hybrid Public Meetings
At the May 24th City Council meeting, staff presented options for implementing hybrid public meetings with a call-in option. Based on the discussion, staff came back at the June 21st meeting with a proposal to start hybrid meetings at the first regular meeting in September. However, due to limited resources, staff will not be able to adequately support hybrid meetings at this time. Staff will revisit this issue as part of the mid-year budget review in February 2023 and consider options to fund the necessary facility upgrades and staffing needs to fulfill the request for hybrid meetings.

Council Discretionary Funds Updated Balance
As discussed at the May 24, 2022 Budget Study Session, Council allocates discretionary funds to assist the community in special projects or support important but otherwise unfunded priorities. Projects and programs supported by Council 15 of 17
discretionary funds for the past three years, as well as funds allocated this fiscal year (FY 2021-22), including the 4th of July Parade allocation made by Council on May 24 (Item 13A) are detailed in Attachment P.

The balance of unprogrammed FY 2021-22 discretionary funds, which will be rolled over to FY 2022-23 is $67,959. For FY 2022-23, Council will be allocated $122,696 in discretionary funds. In total, Council has access to $190,655 in discretionary funds for FY 2022-23, which can be programmed at Council’s direction at any time. At the May 24 Budget Study Session, certain Councilmembers proposed that allocations be made as follows:
• Los Amigos Park Scoreboard - $5,000
• Santa Monica High School Bilingual Program Graduation - $3,000 • Westside Coalition for Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration - $10,000 In order for the allocations to be made, Council action on these and any other allocations is necessary as part of budget adoption.
