9.13.010 Purpose
The purposes of the “Employment” Districts are to:

A. Provide appropriately located areas for continued employment activities to ensure a robust economy that is essential in order for the City to continue to provide the high level of public services that the community expects.

B. Continue to diversify Santa Monica’s economic base by providing sites for incubator businesses, creative industries, technology-based businesses, research and development, and professional offices.

C. Provide a range of employment opportunities to meet the needs of current and future residents and take advantage of the City’s location relative to regional roadway and transit systems.

D. Assure high-quality design and site planning of office and employment areas and support the adaptive reuse of industrial buildings that contribute to the character of the City as a whole.

E. Encourage the development of mixed-use areas that create an opportunity to walk and bike between businesses, employment, and residences.

F. Ensure that new development is designed to minimize traffic and parking, impacts on surrounding neighborhoods, and is appropriate to the physical characteristics of the site and the area where the project is proposed.

The specific designations and the additional purposes of the Employment Districts are:

IC Industrial Conservation. This Zoning District preserves space for existing industrial uses that provide a job base, affordable space for small-scale industrial and

10.B.a
Packet Pg. 889 Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 1] (5692 : Housing Element Main - Second Reading) 87 manufacturing businesses, and a center of economic activity for the City.

Allowable land uses within this District include light industrial uses, including businesses engaged in design, development, manufacturing, fabricating, testing, or assembly of various products, which provide important community services and employment for workers with various skills. This District also allows for housing, incubator business opportunities, including sustainable industries that are appropriate for the City, as well as small visual and performing arts studios and theaters. Additionally, auto dealers are allowed to locate storage and service facilities in this area.

OC Office Campus. This Zoning District is intended to provide for office and advanced technology uses, scientific research, and administration, and limited manufacturing of related products which require large expanses of floor area on large parcels. Additionally, this District provides a diversity of housing types. Development intensity is intended to provide for office uses and other uses within a campus-like environment that will be compatible with abutting residential neighborhoods, especially in terms of scale and building mass.

10.B.a
Packet Pg. 890 Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 1] (5692 : Housing Element Main - Second Reading) 88 HMU Healthcare Mixed Use. This Zoning District is intended to provide for the future orderly expansion of the City’s hospitals and related health care facilities in order to meet the needs of both the community and region while protecting the integrity of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The District fosters the evolving needs of the healthcare community with expanded medical office uses and outpatient services along with retail and non-medical services.

Chapter 9.19 MODERATE INCOME OVERLAY

9.19.010 Purpose and Intent
The purpose of this Section is to promote the public health, safety, and welfare by supporting the development of housing that is affordable to households earning between 80% and 120% of area median income. The intent of this Section is to accommodate moderate income housing (MHO) projects through increases in density, height, and relaxation of certain other zoning limitations for residential developments in which all units are made affordable to households earning between 80% and 120% of area median income; to incentivize the reuse of existing buildings in order to create MHO Projects; to enable the feasibility of MHO projects by allowing flexibility in unit mix and unit size in exchange for greater common area living space; to enable MHO Projects to be permitted by right; and to apply such standards within the MHO area, to support the Housing Element’s goals of supporting economic sustainability by creating housing that accommodates an additional segment of the workforce, and achieve greater socioeconomic diversity.

9.19.020 Definitions
A. Moderate Income Housing Overlay (MHO) means an overlay zoning district that sets forth modified development standards within this chapter for residential developments Citywide, except for parcels within the Single-Unit Residential (R1) zoning district, and in which all units are made affordable to households earning between 80% and 120% of area median income.

B. Moderate Income Housing Overlay (MHO) Dwelling Unit means a dwelling unit, as defined by Section 9.52.020.0730, except that for purposes of this Chapter a dwelling

10.B.a
Packet Pg. 918 Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 1] (5692 : Housing Element Main - Second Reading) 116
unit shall be a minimum of 250 square feet in size, if the dwelling unit is located within a MHO Project for which occupancy is restricted to a MHO Eligible Household.

C. Calculating Base Density

1. In residential districts, the maximum allowable residential or base density, as defined in 9.22.030(L), shall be determined using dwelling units per acre.

2. Except as provided in subsection (3) below, in non-residential districts which do not provide a dwelling-units-per-acre standard for density, the maximum allowable residential or base density shall be calculated by:
a. Estimating the realistic development capacity of the site based on the objective development standards applicable to the project, including, but not limited to, floor area ratio, site coverage, maximum building height and number of stories, building setbacks and stepbacks, public and private open space requirements, minimum percentage or square footage of any non-residential component, and parking requirements, unless not required for the base project.

Parking requirements shall include considerations regarding number of spaces, location, design, type, and circulation. Applicants may provide a base density study

10.B.a
Packet Pg. 948 Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 1] (5692 : Housing Element Main - Second Reading) 28 which the City shall accept, provided that it includes all applicable objective development standards.
b. Maintaining the same average unit size and other project details relevant to the base density study, except those development standards or requirements that may be modified by waiver or concession to accommodate the bonus units, in the proposed project as in the study.

3. Notwithstanding subsection (2), for any housing development subject to tiered development standards, the maximum allowable residential density shall be based on the maximum number of units allowed for the selected tier in the zoning district. The maximum allowable residential or base density shall be calculated by:
a. Estimating the realistic development capacity of the site based on the objective development standards applicable to the project, including, but not limited to, floor area ratio, site coverage, maximum building height and number of stories, building setbacks and stepbacks, public and private open space requirements, minimum percentage or square footage of any non-residential component, and parking requirements, unless not required for the base project.

Parking requirements shall include considerations regarding number of spaces, location, design, type, and circulation. Applicants may provide a base density study which the City shall accept, provided that it includes all applicable objective development standards.
b. Maintaining the same average unit size and other project details relevant to the base density study, except those development standards or

10.B.a
Packet Pg. 949 Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 1] (5692 : Housing Element Main - Second Reading) 29 requirements that may be modified by waiver or concession to accommodate the bonus units, in the proposed project as in the study.

D. Calculating Density Bonus.

1. Density bonus shall be calculated by the following formula:

Density bonus = base density X percentage density bonus granted.

2. For purposes of calculating the amount of the density bonus pursuant to subsection B, a housing development is entitled to only one density bonus over maximum allowable residential density or base density. An applicant who requests a density bonus must elect whether the bonus shall be awarded on the basis of Section 9.22.040(A)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (h). Density bonuses from more than one category may not be combined.

3. All density calculations resulting in fractional units will be rounded up to the next whole number.

4. For purposes of calculating a density bonus pursuant to subsection B for a shared housing building, “unit” means one shared housing unit and its pro-rated share of associated common area facilities.

5. For purposes of calculating a density bonus pursuant to subsection B, the residential units shall be on contiguous sites that are the subject of one development application, but do not have to be based upon individual subdivision maps or parcels. The density bonus shall be permitted in geographic areas of the housing development other than the areas where the units for the lower income households are located.

E. Continued Affordability. Prior to issuance of a building permit, an applicant shall agree to continued affordability of restricted affordable units in accordance with

10.B.a
Packet Pg. 950 Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 1] (5692 : Housing Element Main - Second Reading) 30 Government Code Section 65915(c) and Section 9.64.130, of Chapter 9.64 Affordable Housing Production Program, and the Administrative Guidelines adopted thereto.

Packet Pg. 957 Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 1] (5692 : Housing Element Main - Second Reading) 37 CHAPTER 9.23 COMMUNITY BENEFITS

9.23.010 Purpose
The purpose of this Chapter is to establish and describe regulations for implementing policies of the General Plan intended to ensure that new development that is allowed to exceed the base height, density, and floor area ratio allowed by the Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE), in return provide community benefits that enhance Santa Monica’s highly valued community character.

More specifically, these regulations will implement LUCE policies, which require that, as development is approved above the base floor area ratio, density, and height, it must be accompanied by a range of community benefits from 4 priority categories: Affordable Housing, Trip Reduction and Traffic Management, Community Physical Improvements, and Social and Cultural Facilities. In addition to promoting the development of additional on-site affordable housing and to maintaining existing City programs that provide incentives for the production of affordable housing, these requirements are intended to reduce the additional burdens more intense development allowed by the General Plan will impose on the City by requiring applicants to pay additional fees to mitigate project impacts or, in specific instances, allowing applicants to incorporate features into their projects.

9.23.020 Applicability
The requirements of this Chapter apply to all projects involving new development and additions for which applicants propose to exceed the maximum base floor area, height, or densities allowed for Tier 1 projects. The provisions of this Chapter establish the requirements under which additional floor area or density and height may be allowed up to the Tier 2 maximum standards established in the General Plan and this Ordinance.

10.B.a
Packet Pg. 958 Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 1] (5692 : Housing Element Main - Second Reading) 38 9.23.030 Qualifying Benefits

10.B.a
Packet Pg. 968 Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 1] (5692 : Housing Element Main - Second Reading) 48 i. Parking provided in excess improves the pedestrian, transit, and bicycle network;
ii. Vehicle movement on or around the project site associated with the excess parking does not unduly impact pedestrian spaces or movement, transit service, bicycle movement, or the overall traffic movement in the district; iii. Accommodating excess parking does not degrade the overall urban design quality of the project proposal;
iv. All above-grade parking is architecturally screened and the excess parking does not diminish the quality and viability of existing or planned landscape enhancements; and
v. Where off-street parking is proposed that exceeds the maximum quantities specified, such parking shall not be the principal use of the property. b. Replacement of Existing Parking. If a site contains existing surface parking that serves as Code or permit-required parking for an off-site user, such parking spaces may be replaced on-site as part of any redevelopment of the site, and such replacement parking shall not be considered parking that exceeds the quantities specified in Section 9.28.060 for purposes of subsection (A)(5)(b). c. Parking Requirements of Other Governmental Entities. Should parking above the maximum be imposed by another governmental entity based on established minimum parking requirements, and such additional parking was not simply requested by the applicant, parking in the amount to meet the entity’s minimum requirements may be allowed.

1. The change in district boundaries is consistent in principle with the General Plan in that the proposed amendments will achieve consistency between the General Plan Land Use designations and designations in the Official Districting Map;

10.C.a
Packet Pg. 1125 Attachment: CDD-Ord-Zoning Map Amendments 2d 041123 (5703 : Housing Element Parcel Map - Second Reading) 4 2. The change in district boundaries is consistent with the purpose of this Ordinance to promote the growth of the City in an orderly manner and to promote and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare because the proposed changes will be consistent with State law provisions promoting housing development included in the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) as well as ensuring transparency and consistency for establishing maximum allowable density for purposes of State Density Bonus Law, which requires that where there is inconsistency between the density allowed under the zoning ordinance and the density allowed under the land use element of the General Plan or specific plan, the greater shall prevail; and

3. The change in district boundaries is necessary to achieve the balance of land uses desired by the City, consistent with the General Plan, and to increase the inventory of land within a given Zoning District in that the proposed changes will increase housing production consistent with the goals, policies, and programs set forth in the 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element of the General Plan.

WHEREAS, on March 21, 2023, the City Council conducted a duly noticed hearing, and, after considering all oral and written testimony, desires to amend the Official Districting Map as set forth below.

Summary
The Midyear Budget Review provides an opportunity to assess whether adopted budget projections should be adjusted based on eight months of actual data. Adjustments in current year projections are important as they may inform future year projections and therefore assist staff in developing the five-year financial forecast and the budget targets for the next biennial budget.

Actual data shows that while our economy has been recovering, indicators are still reflecting high volatility and uncertainty in the economy, with continued inflation, interest rate increases, labor shortages, and changes in office work, consumer and visitor behavior. Additionally, recent bank failures have caused concerns regarding potential weakness in the global financial system, which in some cases has already required government intervention in the U.S. and abroad.

The City’s General Fund primarily relies on revenue streams that are indicators of local economic activity, including sales and hotel taxes, parking revenues, and property taxes. While General Fund revenues are growing, a sign that our local economy has been recovering, levels are still below what they would have been had the economy not been disrupted by the pandemic. At the same time, as reported in the FY 2023-24 through FY 2027-28 Five Year Financial Forecast presented to City Council at the 2023 Council Workshop on March 11, 2023, while the City’s economy showed a strong recovery over the past 18 months, it is now showing signs of softening. The $21.9 million increase to budgeted FY 2022-23 General Fund revenues recommended in this report is for the most part a one-time increase, reflecting an earlier than anticipated recovery that will now shift to a significantly moderated recovery.

Adding to the fiscal challenge is the current condition of the General Fund reserves.

Strong reserves are necessary to cushion the delivery of services from the impact of emergency expenditures, contingent liabilities, and economic uncertainty. Since 2020,

11.A
Packet Pg. 1136
3 of 17
the City has had to program General Fund reserves to deliver essential services during the COVID-19 pandemic and to cover a significant portion of the $107.3 million in legal settlement payments related to allegations of sexual abuse by former employees. The General Fund non-restricted reserves are now 70% of what they were as of June 30, 2019. Looking ahead, the City is facing some extraordinary, one-time contingent liabilities that further threaten reserve levels.

To summarize, it is important to keep the following conditions in mind as we adjust the budget at midyear:
• There is still a great amount of volatility and concerns about weaknesses in the economy;
• General Fund revenue levels, even as adjusted, are still below the levels they were projected to have reached had the pandemic not occurred, explaining the City’s limited ability to restore services;
• The pace of economic recovery has been earlier than anticipated (and budgeted), but is now showing signs of softening; and
• The City’s General Fund reserves, important to maintain uninterrupted essential service delivery and maintain financial stability, are at a reduced level while contingent liabilities loom in the future.

For this reason, midyear expenditure changes are kept to a minimum, with a net increase of 8.2 FTE permanent positions (7.2 FTE in the General Fund), offset by a decrease of 4.7 as-needed FTE positions (4.27 FTE in the General Fund), primarily focused on the expansion of youth programs, as preliminarily approved by Council at the 2023 Council Workshop. The expenditure adjustments also include items based on Council actions taken after the adoption of the FY 2022-23 Budget, adjustments related to revenue-sharing payments as a result of revenue changes, corrections, and adjustments based on new information. The table below summarizes the revenue and expenditure budget adjustments. The complete list of adjustments is included in Attachment A.

Fund Revenues Expenditures

General Fund $ 21.9 $ 11.6 $ 0.2 $ 11.8
Other Funds $ 42.0 $ 4.1 $ 17.0 $ 21.1
Total All Funds $ 63.9 $ 15.7 $17.2 $ 32.9
The report also includes recommendations to adopt two resolutions for State earmarks for the City Yards Modernization Microgrid and the Lincoln Neighborhood Corridor Streetscape (LiNC) projects, accept two federal grants from the U.S. Department of Justice and to authorize staff to suspend future pension fund paydown payments starting in FY 2022-23 through FY 2027-28, or later, based on Council direction at that time, providing the ability to reallocate those funds to restoring General Fund services while revenues continue to recover.

Background
The FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and FY 2022-24 Biennial Capital Improvement Budget was adopted by Council on June 28, 2022 (Attachment F). The FY 2022-23 Operating Budget was built in an environment of significant economic uncertainty and is focused on key areas that improve service delivery for the community. The first year (FY 2022-23) of the FY 2022- 24 Adopted Biennial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget is focused on strategic investments in maintaining and enhancing critical City infrastructure and City facilities essential to providing services.

At the March 11, 2023 City Council Workshop, staff presented the FY 2023-24 through FY 2027-28 Five Year Financial Forecast. The General Fund forecast, which includes the midyear adjustments proposed in this report, reflects a positive balance of revenues and expenditures for the next three years, with a low level of deficits in the last two years of the forecasted period. An overview of other funds noted that the Resource, Recycling and Recovery (RRR) Fund would achieve positive balances with the help of

11.A
Packet Pg. 1138
5 of 17
rate increases, anticipated to be brought to Council for approval in June 2023, and that the Beach and Pier Funds would require subsidies from the General Fund during the forecast period.

At the same meeting, Council:
• Set the organizational priorities that will guide the development and implementation of the FY 2023-2025 biennial budget; and • Provided direction and preliminary approval for proposed FY 2023-25 budget items, including
o the allocation of Measure CS funds,
o the suspension of the unfunded pension liability paydown policy to allow the reallocation of $2.5 million in the General Fund to cover service restoration in key areas,
o approval of the organizational realignment of the Community Service Department to align and focus the City’s work on Council priorities and implementation of newly adopted tax measures including Measure GS.

With the exception of the priorities, which were slightly amended during the Workshop meeting (priorities as finalized are included as Attachment G), the attached March 11, 2023 staff report provides a thorough summary of the actions that were unanimously adopted.

Discussion
Midyear budget adjustments are made to reflect updated revenue projections, and to facilitate continuity in key service areas, for the reasons noted below.

FY 2022-23 Midyear Revenue and Operating Expenditure Budget Adjustments Revenue Adjustments - General Fund
Staff projects General Fund revenues to reach approximately $425.3 million in FY 2022-

23. This projection is based on actual data from July to February 2023 as well as

11.A
Packet Pg. 1139
6 of 17
anticipated changes in economic conditions and community behaviors over the remainder of the fiscal year. These projections require adjustments to increase FY 2022-23 Revised Budget revenue targets in the General Fund by approximately $21.9 million. A summary of the significant budget changes is shown below. Attachment A lists all revenue budget changes by department and fund.

Sales Taxes Including GSH transaction and use tax
FY 2022-23 revenues are anticipated to be $7.3 million (~10%) above budget. Much of this is carryforward of strong FY 2021-22 results which reached and even slightly exceeded pre-COVID levels. However, FY 2022-23 levels are only 2% more than FY 2021-22 actuals. It is important to note that the FY 2022-23 revenue increase is accompanied by a $3.68 million expenditure increase, reflecting greater Measure GSH contributions to the School District and affordable housing.

Utility Users Tax
FY 2022-23 estimated revenues are exceeding budget by $2.8 million (8%), mostly due to spikes in electricity and gas costs.

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
FY 2022-23 estimated revenues are $3.1 million (5%) above budget, primarily due to the impact of Measure CS increasing TOT rates, and higher than anticipated average room rates, partially offset by a number of rooms being off-line due to property renovations.

Parking Facility Taxes
FY 2022-23 estimated revenues are $1.3 million (14%) greater than budget, mostly driven by higher than anticipated revenues from private parking facilities.

Property Taxes
FY 2022-23 estimated revenues are $1.9 million (2.5%) above budget, reflecting higher than anticipated assessed value increases.

Business License Tax
FY 2022-23 estimated revenues are approximately $1 million (3%) more than budget.

Documentary Transfer Tax
FY 2022-23 revenues are projected to be $1 million below budget and nearly $7

11.A
Packet Pg. 1140
7 of 17
million below last fiscal year as the number of transfers has declined significantly.

Parking
FY 2022-23 revenues are approximately $0.6 million less than budget primarily due to shifts from metered parking, which reach capacity during peak hours, to parking garages, which offer free parking for short stays; lower sales of monthly parking permits in favor of discounted parking validations as downtown businesses close, downsize, or offer more teleworking options; and less business activity than projected.

Fees/Charges/Other
FY 2022-23 revenues are about $2.1 million more than budget primarily reflecting a one-time SB 90 (mandated cost) reimbursement from the State.

Investment Income
FY 2022-23 revenues on a cash basis (excluding a typical year-end adjustment made for financial reporting purposes only) are approximately $1.1 million more than budget, reflecting a greater than anticipated increase in interest rates.

Administrative Indirect (related to Cost Allocation Plan) FY 2022-23 revenues are approximately $2.9 million more than budget. This reflects an increased reimbursement to the General Fund from other funds for administrative support services, based on a recently-updated cost allocation plan. The transactions related to this item appear as expenditures throughout all of the non-General Funds in Attachment A. Those expenditures are then recorded as revenue to the General Fund.

Revenue Adjustments - Other Funds
FY 2022-23 revenue changes in the Other Funds result in an increase of approximately $42.0 million. Significant revenue adjustments in other funds are summarized below and detailed in Attachment A, along with all other revenue budget changes. • Beach Fund – Decrease of $580,352, primarily from a reduction in parking revenues due to delayed implementation of a projected rate increase pending California Coastal Commission (CCC) approvals, partially offset by greater than projected concession and event related revenues at the Annenberg Community Beach House.

11.A
Packet Pg. 1141
8 of 17
• Big Blue Bus Fund - Increase of approximately $18.1 million is primarily related to final funding allocations from LA Metro due to higher than projected sales tax revenue and diesel sales, higher rental income related to the City’s transition from operating a ground lease to providing property management of the Bergamot Station property, and adjustments to reimbursement revenues for bus purchases, bus components, and labor.
• Local Return Fund – Increase of $787,723 to align revenue based on revised funding allocations from LA Metro due to higher than projected sales tax revenue and diesel sales. Funds are to be used for local transportation projects. • Miscellaneous Grants Fund – Increase of approximately $19.4 million, reflecting funding from the State to fund the City Yards Modernization Microgrid and the LiNC projects; receipt of one-time federal HOME Investment Partnerships – American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funding to provide eviction prevention services including legal services, case management, behavioral health care, and financial assistance (as approved by City Council on 9/13/22); two grant awards from the U.S. Department of Justice to support the replacement of bulletproof vests and overtime operations to keep neighborhoods safe; the annual award of the Used Oil Pay Program funds for public education, events and collection related to used oil recycling; and, other adjustments for grant funded projects projected to be completed and reimbursed by June 2023.
• Resource Recovery and Recycling Fund - Decrease of approximately $2.1 million related to reduced collections fees resulting from a later than anticipated implementation of rate increases. Staff presented rate change recommendations to Council on February 28, 2023, with the new rates anticipated to be adopted by Council in June 2023 and effective in August 2023.
• Self-Insurance, General Liability and Auto Fund - Increase of $3.1 million, reflecting a legal settlement payment from the General Fund related to allegations of sexual abuse by a former employee.
• Special Revenue Source Fund – Increase of approximately $6.4 million reflecting initial payment received from Providence St. John's development agreement to

11.A
Packet Pg. 1142
9 of 17
be used for Santa Monica behavioral health initiatives, increase in transportation impact fees due to a rebound to pre-pandemic levels of residential and commercial development activity, partially offset by decreased revenue from the revised allocation of annual entitlement funding from the State under the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program, which is used for affordable housing production.
• Vehicle Management Fund - Increase of approximately $872,000, reflecting increased vehicle maintenance revenue, which is paid by other City departments and funds. This reflects increased labor costs associated with revised salary and benefit changes based on the most recent labor agreements. • Wastewater Fund - Decrease of approximately $572,000 from decreased sewer service charges resulting from water use reduction as mandated by the City's Water Conservation Ordinance.
• Water Fund - Decrease of approximately $3.4 million from decreased water sales resulting from water use reduction as mandated by the City's Water Conservation Ordinance.

Operating Budget - General Fund - Expenditure Adjustments Staff proposes General Fund operating expenditure adjustments that result in an approximate $11.6 million net increase to the General Fund budget. It is important to note that $3.1 million of this amount represents the payment of funds set aside in General Fund reserves to the Liability Self Insurance Fund to pay for settlement of claims brought against the City and approximately $3.7 million is related to Measure GSH payments to the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District and the Affordable Housing Trust Fund related to increased Transaction and Use Tax revenues. The remaining $4.8 million in operating budget adjustments reflect corrections and labor agreement impacts not included in the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget and items that require immediate attention to maintain service levels. While Attachment A includes details of all expenditure adjustments, highlights are noted below.

11.A
Packet Pg. 1143
10 of 17
Budget adjustments reflecting labor agreement impacts and corrections not included in the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget:
• Net zero adjustment to allocate funds to all departments’ budgets based on approved labor agreements. Funding for this adjustment was set aside in nondepartmental to be appropriated during the midyear budget. • Appropriation of approximately $2.0 million for compensation adjustments in the Police Department, reflecting terms in the Santa Monica Police Officers Association (POA) Memorandum of Understanding, which requires base salaries of POA employees be adjusted to cause the ”net pay” of the Police Officer job classification to be the second highest in comparison local police departments. • Appropriation of $90,635 related to the Fire Executive Management Association item that is being considered in tonight’s consent calendar. • Appropriation of approximately $1.7 million to correct the Police Department’s budget for a compensation-related item that was inadvertently omitted during budget development.
• Appropriation of $120,000, to provide tenant counseling services to assist residents at risk of being evicted from their homes. This is a budget correction to program funds for the second year of the two-year pilot program, as approved by Council on January 26, 2021.

Budget adjustments for revenue-sharing payments, reflecting increased revenues:
• Appropriation of approximately $2.5 million to increase the Measure GSH payment to the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District from the General Fund, reflecting increased Transaction and Use Tax (TUT) revenues. • Appropriation of approximately $1.2 million to increase the Measure GSH transfer to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund from the General Fund, reflecting increased TUT revenues.

• Reduction of approximately $105,000 to decrease the payment for parking management services related to the parking revenue sharing agreement for Parking Structures 7 & 8, reflecting decreased parking revenues.

Adjustments to Maintain Services
• Appropriation of approximately $92,000 and the restoration of a net 2.93 permanent full time equivalent (FTE) positions for youth programs to meet and maintain updated staffing ratios per the City’s Child Protection protocols. This adjustment reflects the prorated FY 2022-23 costs associated with adding 7.2 permanent Community Services Program Coordinator and Community Services Program Specialist FTE positions, offset by the deletion of 4.27 As-Needed FTEs. While Council preliminarily approved this item as one of the uses for the proposed reallocation of pension pay-down funding in the next biennial budget, it is imperative that the process to recruit the positions start as soon as possible.

Staff’s attempts to recruit temporary staff to achieve the needed ratios have been unsuccessful in the current labor market. The lack of consistent staffing coverage to support enrollment numbers is threatening to shut down a number of youth-related programs. Permanent positions offer candidates a consistent schedule, benefits and better pay, often resulting in more successful recruitments than those for temporary positions. Staff anticipates that these position restorations will enable the City to accomplish the following:
o Move approximately 20-30 families off waitlists at PAL and VAP, o Maintain the Summer Lunch Program at VAP,
o Enable the VAP Teen Center to expand operations to include high school students,
o Enable the PAL Fitness Center to reopen, and
o Provide some degree of stability for CREST operations at all but one SMMUSD school site, which will see the elimination of CREST Club while maintaining Enrichment.

• Elimination of a $500,000 FY 2022-23 credit to the General Fund from the Community Broadband (CBB) Fund. This credit, or transfer, was established during the City’s 2020 restructure to help the General Fund recover from revenue losses related to the pandemic. The elimination of this transfer will help ensure that the CBB Fund has sufficient funds to address critical operational needs. • Appropriation of approximately $444,000 to replace copper wire on City streetlights, as a result of a recent rash of copper wire thefts. • Appropriation of approximately $111,000 to continue contracted security services at the Pier in support of the DART team. This appropriation will access Measure CS funds received in FY 2022-23. At its March 11, 2023 meeting, Council preliminarily approved ongoing funding for continuation of DART activities from Measure CS funds. Programming of Measure CS funds, including the remainder of the funds received in FY 2022-23, will be included in the FY 2023-25 budget process.

Operating Budget – Other Funds - Expenditure Adjustments Staff proposes operating expenditure adjustments that result in an approximate $4.1 million net increase in funds other than the General Fund. Attachment A details all expenditure adjustments. Significant increases are summarized below:
• $2.3 million for various grant-funded programs appropriated in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund.
• $2.8 million in payments to the General Fund for administrative support services provided to non-General Fund operations (reflecting the updated Cost Allocation Plan).
• An offsetting amount of $1.2 million, representing an increased Measure GSH transfer (appearing as a credit) into the Housing Trust Fund from increases in sales taxes.
• Staffing changes in the Department of Transportation (DOT) – Big Blue Bus Fund, result in a net addition of 1.0 FTE permanent position at a net cost of

11.A
Packet Pg. 1146
13 of 17
$44,979. The changes include the addition of 1.0 FTE Principal Administrative Analyst position, partially offset by the deletion of 1.0 Senior Transit Operations Analyst position, which will address service restoration to pre-pandemic levels, implementation of the Comprehensive Operational Analysis recommendations, new Computer Aided Dispatch/Automated Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) system and assist with the department’s ongoing recruitment and retention efforts for Motor Coach Operators (MCOs). DOT also proposes to add 1.0 FTE permanent Staff Assistant III position, partially offset by the deletion of 0.5 FTE as-needed position, to provide full time support in training, recruitment and retention of staff, specifically Motor Coach Operators, as there is a critical national shortage resulting in adverse impacts to service.

Operating Budget – All Funds - Staffing Adjustments
The combined midyear staffing adjustments in all funds result in a net increase of 8.2 permanent FTE positions (7.2 in the General Fund) and deletion of 4.73 as-needed FTE positions (4.27 in the General Fund). Attachment A describes each budget change in detail. Attachment B is a Salary Resolution detailing new classifications and salary rates, and Attachment C details all staffing adjustments.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget Adjustments
Recommended changes to the FY 2022-23 CIP budget include a net budget increase of approximately $17.2 million. The budget changes are detailed in Attachment A and summarized below.

General Fund- Capital Budget
Staff recommends the use of one-time CIP budget savings for an appropriation of $212,600 to fund the Rooftop Fall Protection and Access Retrofits project as part of the continued implementation and compliance of the OSHA Fall Protection Plan. This project will construct physical barriers, fall protection systems, and miscellaneous other engineering solutions to ensure safety for all staff accessing roofs of City buildings.

Non-General Funds- Capital Budget
Miscellaneous Grant Fund
As part of AB-179 Budget Act of 2022 legislation, the State's budget authorized two earmarks, totaling $14.8 million, to the City of Santa Monica for the City Yards Modernization Microgrid and the Lincoln Neighborhood Corridor Streetscape (LiNC) projects. In addition, the State delegated the California Arts Council and the California Department of Transportation as the pass thru agencies to distribute the two earmarks awarded to the City. Staff recommends allocating $10 million to the City Yards Modernization Microgrid project and approving the attached resolution required by the California Arts Council (Attachment D). This microgrid would provide efficient, reliable, and cost-effective energy that has a low environmental and carbon impact. It could also store energy, allowing the City Yards and surrounding businesses to continue critical operations in case of a major power outage. In addition, staff recommends allocating $4.8 million to the LiNC project and approving the attached resolution required by the California Department of Transportation (Attachment E). The LiNC project will construct medians and bulb-outs to promote efficient vehicular travel and enhance pedestrian safety.

Water and Wastewater Funds
Staff recommends appropriating $2.2 million in Water and Wastewater Funds for the Water Resources Tenant Improvements at the City Yards and Roof and HVAC repairs at the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant (AWTP). The tenant improvement project will relocate and construct a new bulk material storage, decant area, laydown, and equipment storage at the City Yards to support operations in the Water Resources Division. Relocating the storage area away from the homes on the east side of the City Yards would minimize noise and aesthetic impacts to residents. The roof and HVAC repairs at the AWTP will prevent water leaks in the administration building, laboratory, and control building.

Amendment of Fiscal Policy to Pay Down Unfunded Pension Liabilities over a 15 Year Period

11.A
Packet Pg. 1148
15 of 17
Following Council’s direction at its March 11, 2023 Workshop, this report includes a recommended action to amend the City’s Fiscal Policy to allow for the suspension of the accelerated paydown of the City’s unfunded pension liability from FY 2022-23 to FY 2027-28 or later, pending restoration of City services and maintenance budgets and reserves. As noted in the March 11, 2023 staff report, Council had suspended these payments in May 2020, with a planned resumption in FY 2022-23. While paying down unfunded liabilities at an accelerated rate is a prudent fiscal management tool, mitigating future year interest costs, the City needs to weigh this long-term fiscal management tool against the current state of our community services and our reserves.

An allocation of $2.5 million in General Funds could otherwise be used to restore City services in key areas to deliver critical services and new programs that support the City’s work in economic and community revitalization, racial equity and social diversity, and sustainability.

Acceptance of Grant Awards
Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) 2022 - $51,173
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 twelve years. Santa Monica Police Department plans to leverage these funds for additional overtime operations for special details, mainly targeting analysis of crime patterns, that reduce crime and keep neighborhoods safe.  Without the JAG funds, the opportunity to respond to unanticipated neighborhood crime and public safety concerns is reduced.

Justice Assistance 2022 Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Grant - $34,497 The US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded the Santa Monica Police Department a two-year grant as part of the 2022 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 2024.

Environmental Review
The FY 2022-23 Midyear Budget is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The Midyear Budget is covered by the common sense exemption which states that CEQA does not apply, “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that actions would not result in adverse physical impacts on the environment, and as such, is categorically exempt from CEQA.

GENERAL FUND (01)
Adjustment primarily reflects reduced plan check and zoning revenues driven by the interim zoning ordinance and plan check streamlining enacted to facilitate economic recovery, resulting in fewer projects requiring permit and zoning review. The reductions are partially offset by increased percentage rent from businesses that lease properties owned by the City, reflecting earlier than anticipated economic recovery. $ (41,844) TOTAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS $ (41,844) Adjustment reflects increase in Community Recreation revenues primarily from the restoration of Santa Monica College (SMC) classes and permit group hours and the easing of lane capacity limits at SM Swim Center; higher tennis participation; and a surge of field/track permit requests beyond pre-pandemic levels. $ 572,200
Adjustment primarily reflects increased enrollment in City programs due to fewer afterschool options offered by schools. The increase in program revenue is partially offset by a reduction to budgeted revenue in the Human Services Division for Ken Edwards Center lease payments due to new lease terms. $ 74,227
TOTAL COMMUNITY SERVICES REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS $ 646,427

TRANSPORTATION
Adjustment reflects lower parking revenue due to shifts from metered parking, which reach capacity during peak hours, to parking garages, which offer free parking for short stays; lower sales of monthly parking permits in favor of discounted parking validations as downtown businesses close, downsize, or offer more teleworking options; and less business activity than projected. The decrease in revenue is partially offset by decreased expenditures in parking management services. $ (683,400) Adjustment primarily reflects increased valet parking revenues from certain service sector businesses resuming operations. $ 203,869 TOTAL DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS $ (479,531) NON-DEPARTMENTAL Adjustment reflects increased reimbursement to the General Fund from other funds for general government administrative support services provided to all non-General Fund operations, as a result of the revised cost allocation plan. $ 2,854,880
Reflects adjustments to various revenues, including sales tax, transaction and use tax, utility users tax, hotel tax, parking facility tax, property tax, business license, and other sources, to align budget with revised projections based on year-to-date trends.

Packet Pg. 1199 Attachment: Attachment D - Resolution for Santa Monica City Yards Modernization Microgrid Project (5534 : FY 2022-23 Midyear Budget) 27 any state or federal law or policy by Grantee which affects performance of this or any other grant agreement or contract entered into with the State.

3. If the State terminates without cause the agreement prior to the end of the Project Performance Period, the Grantee shall take all reasonable measures to prevent further costs to the State under this agreement. The State shall be responsible for any reasonable and non-cancelable obligations incurred by the Grantee in the performance of the agreement prior to the date of the notice to terminate.

4. If the Grantee fails to complete the project in accordance with this agreement, or fails to fulfill any other obligations of this agreement prior to the termination date, the Grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the State of all amounts disbursed by the State under this agreement, plus accrued interest and any further costs related to the project. The State may, at its sole discretion, consider extenuating circumstances and not require repayment for work partially completed provided that the State determines it is in the State’s best interest to do so. This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies available to the State for breach of this agreement.

5. Failure by the Grantee to comply with the terms of this agreement or any other agreement under the Act may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the State hereunder.

6. Failure of the Grantee to comply with the terms of this agreement shall not be cause for suspending all obligations of the State hereunder if, in the judgment of the State, such failure was due to no fault of the Grantee. At the discretion of the State, any amount required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for reimbursement under this agreement.

7. Because the benefit to be derived by the State, from the full compliance by the Grantee with the terms of this agreement, is the for the purposes as stated in the application for the people of the State of California, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the State by way of grant funds under the provisions of this agreement, the Grantee agrees that payment by the Grantee to the State of an amount equal to the amount of the grant funds disbursed under this agreement by the State would be inadequate compensation to the State for any breach by the Grantee of this agreement. The Grantee further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the Grantee of this agreement shall be the specific performance of this agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the State.

EXTERNAL
Dear Mayor Davis, Mayor Pro Tem Negrete, and Honorable Councilmembers:

Thank you for your leadership in setting priorities at the March 11, 2023, Special Council Meeting. We are particularly grateful that you expanded council priorities to include and support the needs of children, youth, and their families.

As the council reviews the midyear budget and makes adjustments based on the City's economic recovery, the Task Force urges you to increase allocations for programs that support children and families.

Increased support for children, youth, and their families is a key facet for all five of the approved priorities.

For example:

Cultivate Economic Recovery & Expand Community & Cultural Offerings Investing in early childhood and after school childcare is critical to the City's economic recovery. A lack of childcare causes businesses to lose revenue due to employee absenteeism, high rates of turnover, and a reduction in their work hours. This leaves our families more vulnerable, causes postponement of their education or training opportunities, and causes parents to leave the workforce.

Racial Justice, Equity & Social Diversity
The Task Force believes that supporting young children and their families is essential to "create a community where differences in life outcomes cannot be predicted by race, class, gender, disability or other identities."
Clean & Safe Santa Monica
Law Enforcement leaders from Fight Crime: Invest in Kids have advocated for over 25 years in policies and programs that support youth. These law enforcement leaders consistently state that the best way to see less crime, incarceration, and homelessness is to invest in high‐quality early childhood education and support our low‐income families in accessing childcare.

Addressing Homelessness
We also urge you to increase funding for the City's Human Services Grants Program, which provides direct services for the city's most vulnerable residents of all ages. The agencies funded by these grants are on the Item 11.A

Dear Mayor Davis, Mayor Pro Tem Negrete, and Honorable Councilmembers:

I write in support of the Santa Monica Early Childhood Task Force Steering Committee's recommendations to increase allocations for programs investing in early childhood and after school childcare. I also support increasing funding fo the City's Human Services Grants Program, which provides direct services for the city's most vulnerable residents of all ages ‐ including families and children.

RE: 4/11/23 agenda item 11-A -- Neighborhood Organization Grants

I support the letter below from the Wilmont Board.

Sunset Park has about 7,000 residential addresses and another 1,000 or so business addresses.

Using the street addresses provided to us by the city, it cost us more than $9,000 last year to print and send out a newsletter using a bulk mail permit.

FOSP could afford to make up the difference between the grant and the actual cost of the mailing, but it's really unfair to expect Wilmont to do that when their neighborhood has so many more addresses.

Again, I support the letter below from the Wilmont Board.

Mayor Davis and Council Members,

The Wilshire Montana Neighborhood Coalition (Wilmont) Board of Directors asks for the following change to be made to the Fiscal Year Midyear Budget based on equity and support of all city neighborhoods with the annual city grant of $7,000.

 We request that the annual neighborhood grant become variable. Wilshire Montana Neighborhood Coalition (Wilmont) was given a list of over 13,000 addresses in our neighborhood via a city Item 11.A

 We use our grant to send out an annual newsletter to all our Wilmont residents.  Wilmont is the largest neighborhood in terms of addresses.  Currently, each neighborhood gets the same $7,000 grant.
 Last year we obtained multiple estimates of the price to generate 13,000 copies, labels and postage for our annual newsletter and on average it was about $1/newsletter.  The $7,000 does not cover this.  We request that Council address these differences by still providing $7,000 per neighborhood groups that have 7,000 or less addresses and provide a $1/address for other neighborhoods that have greater than 7,000 addresses.  For Wilmont, that would be $13,000 in 2023, or an addition of $6,000 to send newsletters out to every address in our neighborhood.  Thank‐you

Thank‐you for ensuring the vitality and continued importance of the city's neighborhoods.
