Honorable Mayor, Councilmembers, and members of the Sebastopol Community, As the City Manager, I carry many responsibilities but none as important as ensuring that money entrusted to us by taxpayers is spent wisely, strategically, and in response to community needs.
With the dedication and valuable input from Budget Committee, we are pleased to present to you Fiscal Year 2024- 2025 Operating Budget for the City of Sebastopol. The budget is the primary policy document that the City Council adopts each year. It also serves as an annual financial plan, a communication tool, and guides operations.
The document includes valuable data about the City and community, including our organizational structure. We have added mission statements from each Department, a summary of key accomplishments in the prior year, and goals for the new Fiscal Year. The intent is to provide a sense of what we are accomplishing and hope to accomplish with the public’s dollars.
Types of Funds: This budget includes four types of operating funds:
a. City General Fund: This is the City’s primary operating fund. It funds most core City services, and the City Council has great flexibility in its use. It accounts for sources and uses of resources that (primarily) are discretionary to the City Council in the provision of activities, programs and services deemed necessary and desirable by the community. It accounts for all general revenues of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds, and the related expenditures. The major revenue sources for this fund are sales taxes, property taxes, franchise fees, business license fees, unrestricted revenues from the state, fines and forfeitures, and interest income. Expenditures are made for community development, parks, public safety (including police and fire), public works, and other services. b. Enterprise Funds: These funds include activities that typically operate largely as independent enterprises, or businesses. They have their own sources of funding, which must be used to support those activities.
Enterprise funds are used to account for self-supporting activities that provide services on a user-charge basis. For example, many cities provide water treatment and distribution services to their residents. Users of these services pay utility fees, which the city deposits in a water enterprise fund. Expenditures for water services are charged to this fund. Wastewater is another example. The Water and Wastewater funds are Sebastopol’s enterprise funds.
c. Special Revenue Funds: These are funds to account for particular sources of revenue and related expenses. Unlike enterprise funds, the users of the funded services are not typically charged for the full cost of services. Special revenue funds are used to account for activities paid for by taxes or other designated revenue sources that have specific limitations on use according to law. For example, the state levies gas taxes and distributes some of these funds to cities and counties. A local government deposits gas tax revenue in a special fund and spends the money for streets and road-related programs, according to law.
1 d. Debt Service Funds: These funds accumulate assets, or funds, usually from operating funds for repayment of long-term debt. Debt service for a city government is the money needed to pay back the principal and interest on a city's debt over a specific time period. Example of Debt payments include the Fire Engine Lease Payment of $238,000.
Budget Projections: Preparing the budget includes projecting revenues and expenses. We make these projections based on the best available information on prior revenues and expenses, and assumptions about economic projections and their consequences. As with any document looking ahead by up to a year, there is inherent uncertainty in our estimates. If needed, the City Council can revisit the budget during the course of the Fiscal Year and make adjustments. The budget committee is committed to conducting a mid year budget review. A mid-year budget review is an essential element in maintaining financial stability and transparency. The mid-year budget review process provides the City Council with an opportunity to review the General Fund, make the needed course corrections to achieve a more accurate budget for the current fiscal year (resulting in greater budget transparency), and can also help shape the development of the next Fiscal Year’s budget.
The FY 24-25 Budget represents a deep and collaborative effort to understand financial forecasts, assess community needs, weigh sometimes competing priorities, and make difficult choices. The decisions are challenging because we’re blessed with a workforce and highly engaged community who continually generate creative and enticing ideas to make local government and our community even better. While the possibilities for enhancing our services are endless, funding is not.
General Fund Revenues and Expenses: We are projecting General Fund revenues of $14,304,463, an increase of $967,862 from the adjusted FY 23-24 budget. Jurisdictions sometimes estimate revenues conservatively to reduce the risks of falling short. Our projections are ‘middle of the road’ meaning that they reflect our best estimates from key sources such as Property Taxes and Sales Taxes. The projections are not optimistic nor pessimistic.
The projections include $714,344 less in funds transferred from the Water and Sewer funds to pay for administrative costs in Finance, Human Resources, City Administration, etc. This is the result of an analysis completed early in 2024 that showed a change in how we allocate the administrative costs is appropriate. It also reflects $230,635 less in sales taxes. We are able to make up for that lost revenue largely because of substantial anticipated increases in building permits from development. We are projecting $1.3 million from this source, an increase of $1 million. While we are confident of a substantial increase for the current and next Fiscal Year, they are not an on-going, stable source of revenue that we can count on in the long run.
We also anticipate greater revenue in the Planning Department budget. This assumes that more staff time will be spent on efforts for which we can receive and keep revenue, including using funds from grants to pay for staff time utilized for those grants. Although there is a placeholder in the budget for projected revenues, the City Council has not yet received a formal agenda item with recommendations on the Commission, Board or Committees. It is anticipated that a formal agenda item will return to the City Council by Fall 2024 for full Council consideration.
The budget includes $15,002,049 in General Fund expenses. This is a decrease of $212,087 from the adjusted FY 23-24 budget. Spending at this level requires reducing services. We recognize that the City has made cuts in prior years, and cuts are proposed for this fiscal year. Cuts for this budget include reductions in contract services for engineering, maintenance (including shifting a position in Public Works to focus on our water and sewer systems instead of City buildings), infrastructure and parks, funding to non profit partners, and reducing purchases of supplies, equipment and materials important to our work. 2 While there are reductions, the budget also includes spending to enhance the City’s risk management protocols and solutions, and to promote the sustainability of the City organization, with $117,125 to replace outdated technology to ensure that we are positioning the City to protect ourselves from cyber fraud, by continuing to keep software updated and employees trained on cybersecurity controls and practices to protect our infrastructure from external intrusions and cyberattacks.
It also includes an additional $300,000 to preserve our assets in designated reserve funds we have previously set aside. Following are the assigned reserve funds:
1. Buildings, facilities, and infrastructure reserve fund: $1,040,235, after adding $150,000. We will revisit the use of these funds during the Fiscal Year with the intention of funding some of our highest priorities. We have not yet identified particular projects.
2. Equipment, technology, and vehicle replacement reserve fund: $791,636, after adding $150,000 and $20,000 for an analysis of financing needs for City fleet and identification of opportunity for operational improvement. We will revisit the use of these funds during the Fiscal Year with the intention of funding some of our highest priorities. We have not yet identified particular projects.
3. Pension and OPEB reserves: $3,328,269. We anticipate beginning to use these funds in three years, or Fiscal Year 26-27. Approximately 2/3 of these funds are in a trust with the ability to earn higher returns than normal City investments.
Overall, the budget reflects a deficit of $697,586. While significant, the deficit is less than half of the $1.7 million budgeted deficit for the prior year, FY 23-24. Closing a substantial gap in one year is challenging. This budget reflects that although we have closed a significant portion of the deficit, we need to do more to make Sebastopol sustainable – particularly since we are relying on one-time, non-recurring revenue.
General Fund Balance and Reserves: The budget will reduce the unassigned General Fund balance to $2,869,130.
This is 19.1% reserve level. The City’s policy is to maintain a minimum 15% of annual expenditures in available, or unassigned, General Fund balance, with a goal of 20%. This represents funds available for emergencies (such as natural disasters) or to help address unanticipated short falls in revenues or increases in expenses.
While the 19.1% balance falls within the City’s policy levels, without further significant changes in revenues and/or expenses the balance will decline and could go to zero within three years. Prior projections estimated that this could happen by January, 2026; we now project that this could happen around the end of 2026. Our reliance on non-sustainable funding, such as the short-term increase in building fees, allows us to retain an acceptable General Fund balance for now without having to make dramatic cuts.
Retaining Positions: This budget illustrates the City valuing our staff and our community by retaining all positions.
It includes funding to fully staff our Police Department, including Police Officers and Dispatchers. Public safety is the primary responsibility of local government, and this budget reflects that perspective.
The budget also includes funding to fill a vacant Maintenance Worker II position in Public Works. We know that maintaining our infrastructure and the appearance of the City is important. While we are cutting expenses significantly in Public Works, this position will help us meet expectations from our residents for a clean, beautiful and welcoming City that will attract both businesses and tourists to our City.
This budget also includes funding for a program in the Sebastopol Fire Department ahead of the consolidation, pending review by the Fire Ad Hoc Committee. Approval would require City Council approval. The funding is 3 proposed to utilize fire volunteers and create shifts for greater coverage. This will help to get the fire truck out the door sooner and reduce the time of service for calls. Although funding has been set aside for this program $80,000 as a placeholder in the budget, the Fire Ad Hoc Committee will provide recommendations at a future City Council meeting for full Council consideration.
Further information on changes is available below in Department-specific summaries Fiscal Outlook: Recurring expenses have exceeded recurring revenues for the last five years. We have used revenues that are no longer available, such as one time funding from Assemblymember Levine for flooding, Federal funding during COVID, and grants to fund on-going programs and services. We have also used substantial amounts of our General Fund balance. The FY 24-25 budget also relies on revenues that will not be available in the long-run, particularly building fees from a peak in building activity. Relying on revenues that will not continue and drawing on a diminishing fund balance are not sustainable.
In March of this year, the City Council received a presentation from Bob Leland of Baker Tilly on the City’s fiscal outlook. Mr. Leland is a nationally recognized expert on local government finance and particularly in developing long-range models of cities’ finances. His presentation demonstrated that bringing the City to financial sustainability requires addressing numerous challenges. He noted that without substantial changes in revenues or expenses, the City’s readily available, unassigned General Fund balance could be exhausted in less than three years. In general terms this is consistent with 2023 projections from NHA Advisors which indicated that we could reach that point by July 1, 2026.
Our financial pressure includes challenges with revenues and expenses. On the revenue side, sales taxes represent our largest funding source. Yet despite a growing economy, these revenues have been stagnant in recent years.
The change in how we allocate administrative costs among our utility funds and the General Fund noted above creates pressure as well. Mr. Leland noted the need for a large, sustainable new source of revenue.
The most promising source of large sustainable revenues is an addition to our sales tax. The City Council at their July 16th 2024 City Council meeting adopted a Resolution to place a ½ cent sales tax onto the November 5, 2024 Municipal Election. This would generate about $1.5 million year. And people who live outside of town and shop here pay these taxes, too – so the burden is not all on our residents.
On the expense side, we are experiencing increasing costs in health care for employees and in pension costs. The pension reform enacted several years ago is helping to relieve some of this pressure. As is true for our residents, inflation and higher utility costs affect the City as well. Mr. Leland also noted the need to invest substantially more in our assets – by $900,000 year over time – to keep them from deteriorating. For example, we estimate that we need $850,000 annually to modestly improve the condition of our streets. The $850,000 figure is based on a recent updated estimate; the prior figure was $1.4 million/year.
The budget includes $300,000 toward preserving our assests, reflecting, Mr. Leland’s recommendation for the first year of these investments.
The charts below summarize updated information from Mr. Leland that reflects adoption of the proposed budget and other key assumptions, particularly regarding options for sales tax increases and their implications for the City’s finances. The City Council received this information at their July 16, 2024 meeting for consideration in the decision on sales tax options. They voted at that meeting to include a ½ cent sales tax measure on the November, 2024 ballot; this will be Measure U.
4 Option A – no increase in sales tax rates - demonstrates that the City General Fund will be in a deficit – with no unassigned fund balance – around the end of 2026 without new revenue and/or major spending reductions that would seriously threaten core City services.
Option B, a ¼ cent increase in the sales tax approved in November, 2024, would require an additional $800,000 of reduced expenses beginning in FY 25-26, or one year after the adoption of the FY 24-25 budget. Alternately, the City could forego funding toward preserving assets, or a combination of the two.
Option C, a ½ cent increase in the sales tax in November, 2024 would provide sufficient funding to avoid major reductions and to preserve our assets. The City Council could also use some of the funding for other priorities.
Option A: No Sales Tax and Adoption of Proposed Budget Scenario
1. Assumes adoption of proposed budget
2. FY 24-25 General Fund balance would meet minimum level while being below policy goal
3. The General Fund would run out of fund balance in FY 26-27, or within three years. Major reductions would be required, and there would be no funding available for preserving our assets, although the City Council can adjust funding priorities.
Option B: ¼ cent Sales Tax and Proposed Budget Scenario
1. Assumes adoption of proposed budget
2. Assumes additional $800,000 of expenses reduced in FY 25-26
3. Assumes ¼ cent sales tax approved in November, 2024 with revenue beginning in Spring, 2025
4. Assumes use of pension trust begins in FY 26-27
5. Assumes $300,000 toward asset preservation in FY 24-25, growing $300,000/year to $900,000 in FY 26-27, with inflation adjustments thereafter
6. No significant additional funding for other needs, although the City Council can adjust its priorities.
We would meet General Fund balance goals but have to make substantial cuts in expenses, or forego funding toward preserving our assets, or a combination of the two. 5 Option C: 1/2 cent Sales Tax and Proposed Budget Scenario
1. Assumes adoption of proposed budget
2. Assumes ½ cent sales tax approved in November, 2024 with revenue beginning in Spring, 2025
3. Assumes use of pension trust begins in FY 26-27
4. Assumes $300,000 toward asset preservation in FY 24-25, growing $300,000/year to $900,000 in FY 26-27, with inflation adjustments thereafter.
5. The additional funding from this tax would create greater flexibility for the City to fund a combination of services, asset preservation, and/or other priorities.
We would meet General Fund balance goals without having to make substantial cuts in expenses, while preserving our assets.
The challenges we face are not unique to Sebastopol, although they are more pressing than in many communities.
There is a path forward – it is not an easy one, nor a quick fix. It will require reducing costs and increasing our revenues.
6 We understand that these decisions are about more than City Hall – this is about our community, our residents, our businesses, our non-profit organizations. We need to stabilize our situation – making significant cuts this year is a step in that direction. We need to reform our practices by investing in our assets and being more disciplined – this budget does that. And we need to work with our community to shape the kind of community we want to be.
Sebastopol is fortunate to have many committed, engaged residents, particularly for a small city. We look forward to continuing that engagement as we take on our financial challenges.
A Note on Future Hotels: We are hopeful that two proposed new hotels will come to fruition. Having only one hotel as we do now in a region where tourism is a primary industry suggests that we are missing opportunities. Hotels generate substantial economic activity that supports local businesses, as well as tax revenue from Transient Occupancy Taxes (or TOT), sales taxes, and property taxes. While we are hopeful, we are also reluctant to count on this revenue for either hotel until they are far closer to opening. The hotel market can be volatile, and the revenues too uncertain to count on at this point.
Changes in Department Budgets: The Budget Committee has considered the budget in depth and City staff values and appreciates their time, commitment and input into the preparation of the City budget. The section below summarizes the most significant changes in the budgets for each Department.
Note that for the most part we do not discuss changes to salaries and benefits below as these are largely established by the City’s salary schedule and benefit choices by employees. Details are available in more detailed back up materials. We have shifted the presentation of costs for unfunded pension liabilities in those materials by assigning them as Department expenses not tied directly to individual salaries or benefits as in the past. This revised approach this better reflects the City’s actual liabilities.
City Council
• $2,500 reduction in contract with PCA for video services for Council meetings • $4,000 reduction for legal hearing notices
• $3,500 reduction in cost for Shuttle Fare program
• $36,800 shift of the Homeless Outreach contract to the Police Department, which has lead responsibility for this role
• $10,000 shift of contract costs for public communications to City Manager • $7,186 Increase in benefits which may occur with new Councilmembers • $10,000 increase for contract support for basic goal-setting session • $3,000 for League of CA Cities Annual Meeting
City Manager
Additions include:
• $32,000 for continued financial analysis work with Bob Leland of Baker Tilly, possible management review of Administrative Services to improve financial reporting, estimating expenses for capital projects, and other needs. Note that the Equipment, Technology, and Vehicle Reserve fund allocates $20,000 for an analysis of financing needs for City fleet and identification of opportunities for operational improvements. • $10,000 for facilitator for performance evaluation
• $6,000 for payment for prior work for Relaunch program, pending demonstration of compliance with contract requirements
• $10,000 shift of contract costs for public communications from City Council to City Manager 7 City Attorney
• No significant changes
Assistant City Manager/City Clerk
• $10,000 in reduced ballot measure expenses to reflect current plans • No other significant changes
Administrative Services
• $114,600 in reduced one time or occasional expenses for new server, cost allocation study, creation of Section 115 trust, and ballot measure expenses
• $10,000 increase to reflect more accurately costs for software maintenance • $25,000 Shift of expenses for property tax services from non departmental budget • $2,400 for California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA) Associated Risk Management Training • $30,000 for Compensation Study
• $10,000 placeholder for Update of Staffing Assessment Study; this will be reviewed during the City Council Mid Year Budget Review
Planning
• $91,800 in reimbursement of staff time for revenue-generating work on development projects ($21,000) and grants ($70,800)
• $22,000 for monitoring of rental housing units from the Inclusionary Housing Fund This item will be returned for Full City Council review and consideration at a future City Council meeting.
Building
The revenues from increased building permit fees, which are reflected in General Fund revenue discussed earlier, is the most significant change. This reflects both an increase in the level of fees to more closely reflect costs, with a projected $100,000 increase in revenue from normal building activity. Another $800,000 increase is anticipated from building of about half of the Canopy project. If other projects begin construction the revenues will increase further.
A normal year over the past ten years has averaged less than one new home per year and we are anticipating around 40+ this year and the same number next year before we drop back down to a normal year. There will be an associated increase of $50,000 in expenses to cover the cost of the inspections needed for this project.
Engineering
The Engineering Department provides technical expertise to support the City’s infrastructure such as streets, the water and sewer systems, and the storm water system. The biggest change in the budget is the proposed reorganization of the Public Works and Engineering Departments. The two departments will be combined when the Public Works Superintendent retires at the end of 2024 and will be called the Public Works Department. Upon retirement, the Public Works Superintendent position will be eliminated and replaced with a new Public Works Director/City Engineer. Between the two departments, the reorganization is estimated to save $162,800 compared with the previous fiscal year.
These changes include reducing GHD on-call engineering consultant costs by $145,000, mostly in the second half of the year when the new Public Works Director/City Engineer is hired. We will rely on the Police Chief to take the lead as the Traffic Engineer as provided for in the City’s Municipal Code. The reductions in consultant costs will 8 result in slower response time to the public and other City departments, more reliance on the Public Works department head for questions pertaining to infrastructure within public right of way, attendance at fewer meetings, reliance on current staff for questions pertaining to engineering records, and not providing engineering consultation to the public for private property matters. Professional contract services line item is estimated to save approximately $154,000 from previous year. (Note that this savings includes consultant services savings due to the reorganization described above.)
The Budget Committee added $5,000 for Engineering assistance with the procurement of a new solid waste hauler.
Fire
• $156,223 reduction in salary by not filling the Fire Chief position • $136,799 in contract expenses for Fire Chief contract with Gold Ridge Fire Protection District • $95,000 increase to fund contracts for costs related to fire consolidation with Gold Ridge. • $40,000 increase in firefighter expenses to expand coverage. The budget would also shift $40,000 previously used for retention of firefighters to expand coverage. The goal is to fund two fire personnel at the fire station twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to improve response times and increase safety for firefighters. This item is a placeholder in the FY 24 25 City Budget and a final report out will be provided by the Fire Ad Hoc Committee at a future City Council meeting for full Council consideration. • $20,000 increase in Equipment to replace essential radios.
The budget includes $11,000 to continue the Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) program. The Budget Committee expressed concerns with this program including the need for clear goals, more reporting on results, and expanded outreach to neighborhoods.
The budget includes $100,000 for uses to be determined.
The Fire Department is in a period of transition with the Council’s decision to pursue consolidation with Gold Ridge, with the Fire Ad Hoc Committee leading the City’s efforts. Additionally, passage of the Measure H fire sales tax earlier in 2024 will generate about $600,000 in revenue. The Measure H budget allocates about half of these funds toward the lease payment on a new fire engine $238,000, and toward an assessment of needs and options for an improved fire station $60,000. The budget does not reflect plans for spending the remaining $300,000. We anticipate revisiting the budget as part of discussions on consolidation.
Measure H also requires that the City commit 10% to 11% of our General Fund budget to fire services as a Maintenance of Effort – a requirement to ensure that Measure H funds add to rather than replace existing funding.
Police
• $122,830 reduction in expenses for improvements in Police Department building and equipment funded by the Police Endowment.
• $20,000 increase to fund assessment and initial improvements of City’s Emergency Operation Center (EOC) and emergency response ability
• $4,465 increase with shift of remaining FY 23-24 warming center funds to Police Department from Fire Department. The Council also approved an additional $10,000 for warming/cooling center. • $11,500 increase with shift of a reduced contract for traffic and engineering to Police Department from Engineering (while reducing overall contract from $23,000) • $8,000 increase (to $16,000) to increase capacity for towing Recreational Vehicles 9 The City Council changes noted above include a shift of the Homeless Services Outreach contract ($36,800) to the Police Department budget to manage the contract with West County Community Services (WCCS) for homeless outreach;
The Budget Committee discussed funding for two vacant positions in the Police Department, an Officer $121,000 and a Dispatcher $106,000. The budget includes funding for both positions.
Public Works
• $218,213 reduction in salary due to numerous changes including retirement of Public Works Superintendent and consolidation of Public Works and Engineering Departments; the Engineering budget best explains the financial implications of the consolidation. The budget also reflects reallocating a Laborer to focus on water and sewer systems, which are funded by water and wastewater rates (see discussion below on Water and Wastewater funds). The position will no longer be funded by the General Fund, where the Laborer would support maintenance of City facilities. • Also includes $66,000 in reimbursement from grants and City’s Building reserve fund for projects. • $64,000 reductions in maintenance-related contracts
• $26,000 reduction in maintenance services and supplies • $52,000 increase in contract services with shift of West County Community Services Contract for Park Village from non-departmental budget to Public Works to better align responsibilities for contract with a Department. The contract includes a reduction of $21,000. • $20,000 addition for Libby Park fencing materials at request of Budget Committee • $5,000 addition for more reflective sign poles to improve pedestrian crosswalk safety at request of Budget Committee
Public Works will explore the addition of more bike racks in the downtown area with funding from their budget.
Senior Center
• $38,250 reduction with elimination of financial support for operations Community Cultural Center
• $76,600 reduction in support for general operation as the Center attempts to fully cover these costs without City assistance by January, 2025. The remaining $58,300 is intended to provide six months of support during this transition. The majority of the Council requested the request and additionally supported review of the funding during the City Council mid year budget review.
The Council approved at their July 2, 2024 Council Meeting the Community Cultural Center Master Plan Project in the amount of $85,000.00, from Fund 127, Flood Mitigation and approved $70,000.00 for the SCCC Fire-Related Building Improvements, subject to a General Plan Consistency Finding by the Planning Commission, from Fund 127, Flood Mitigation.
Ives Pool
• No significant change.
For the Senior Center, the Community Center, and Ives Pool, reallocating the time of a Public Works Laborer position as noted above to focus on the water and sewer systems, and reduced funding for maintenance contracts, may reduce support for the facility.
10 Non Departmental
• $154,000 shift of costs for contracts to Departments to better reflect how costs relate to Department responsibilities, and to increase accountability for managing contracts • $116,525 increase to address pressing needs for computer and server replacement and to increase cyber security
Note Regarding Library
The Budget Committee discussed funding for the Library as a topic of interest. The City leases the Library building to the Sonoma County Library system, and is interested in renegotiating the lease. Historically, the City has paid for major mechanical repairs. While in the last five years we have not made major repairs, these will be needed in the future as with any building. The Library has paid for improvements to the interior.
In FY 23-24, the City coordinated with the Library to replace the roof and add a solar system. Total costs were $707,000. A state grant fully paid these costs.
Changes in presentation and accounting
We have made some changes to the presentation of budget information this year to promote transparency. As noted in Footnote 11 in the table on General Fund Revenue Details, we have previously treated the payments to the General Fund from the Water and Sewer Funds as reimbursements which created the appearance of reducing General Fund expenses. This meant that the General Fund revenues and expenses were understated. We now record the reimbursements as revenues for the General Fund, providing a more accurate representation of revenues and expenses.
Additionally, in prior years we have counted some of the funds from voter-approved sales taxes as General Fund revenues. At the same time, we have accounted for other funds from these taxes not as revenue, but by reducing expenses in the Police and Public Works budgets, although this did not actually reduce expenses. This resulted in understating our actual General Fund revenues, and our actual expenses. We are now counting all of the revenues from these expenses as General Fund revenues.
Thus, readers may notice that the numbers in this budget book for prior years differ from the number in prior budget documents. While this may create some confusion, we believe that in the long-run this new method is a better way of accurately reflecting true revenues and expenses.
Water and Wastewater Funds
As discussed extensively in recent months, the City’s water and wastewater systems are in poor shape. We have had minor failures, and want to avoid major problems which could leave residents without water or sewer service for days.
The Water and Wastewater Operating Funds rely mostly on rates paid by residents and businesses. Revenue from rates has been insufficient to cover operating costs, necessary significant capital investments, and sufficient levels of reserves. Over the next three years, we will need additional revenue of over $9 million, with an approximate breakdown as:
• $7.7M to cover operating deficits
• $0.7M to fund essential capital projects
• $0.8M to build reserves to a sufficient level, including high enough reserves to obtain debt to replace Well 4, which is showing signs of failure and is our highest-producing well 11 The Water Operating Fund had a minimal balance at the end of FY 23-24, while the Wastewater Operating Fund required a General Fund loan of $1.1 million to cover its deficit.
In response, in June the City Council approved substantial rate increases. These will add about $2.5 million in revenue between the two funds in the first year, and more in later years.
Additionally, earlier this year we completed a Cost Allocation Plan to update how we allocate City overhead costs.
This analysis showed that we should reduce the General Fund charges to these funds by about $714,000/year ($510,233 for the Water Operating Fund, and $204,112 for the Wastewater Fund). These budgets reflect those changes. The reduction in revenue to the General Fund is noted earlier in the discussion on General Fund revenues.
While painful, the rate increases reflect action we need to take to put our systems and finances in good shape. They are an example of forging a new path and becoming more fiscally responsible. It took years of low rates and deferred maintenance to create the challenges our systems face, and it will take time to make up for both maintenance and financial challenges.
We are taking steps to avoid future steep rate increases. These include:
a. Better tracking revenues and expenses so we can adjust in a timely manner if needed b. Creating ‘master plans’ to help us make the most cost-effective investments in our systems c. Assigning one of our Public Works staff to provide more frequent maintenance of our systems, which should lower our costs and the need for higher rates d. Committing to complete Cost Allocation Plans more frequently – at least every three years – to ensure that the Water and Wastewater Operating Funds are paying for their fair share of City overhead expenses, and no more.
With these actions we can improve the reliability of the water and wastewater systems, improve their financial conditions, and increase public confidence in our financial management practices.
A Final Note
As City Manager, I will continue to evaluate this budget as our financial situation evolves and affects our responsibilities to our staff and our community. Though much is beyond the City’s influence, we will maintain a firm grasp on what falls within our control with a commitment to prudent, conscientious financial management.
We will provide transparent and regular reporting to the Council and public.
Through robust community outreach, we will together ensure that diverse perspectives are heard and respected.
Although we have made progress in managing our resources and services, we still have much to do.
I would like to thank the City Council for your leadership and our Executive Team and the entire staff of the City for providing outstanding services to our community. While we have challenges before us, your leadership and strong commitment to this wonderful community will create a path forward to a bright future.
I would like to express my appreciation for the hard work of the Budget Committee – Vice Mayor Zollman and Councilmember Maurer. They have spent extensive time reviewing the budget, and making improvements. Serving on the Committee requires a serious commitment of time and energy, and the budget is better for their deep engagement.
In addition, a budget requires countless hours of teamwork, collaboration, and patience to produce. The Department Directors’ dedication, expertise, and willingness to continue to adapt to evolving circumstances in 12 preparing this budget is a testament to their commitment to this organization and to the community. I recognize that this year's budget was challenging to develop and greatly appreciate this team's professionalism and commitment.
I would also like to thank Mary Gourley, the Assistant City Manager and City Clerk, for her steadfast assistance. Ana Kwong, the Administrative Services Director who has provided extensive support and many long hours to complete this effort. My thanks extend to her as well, and to Miko Lim of her team for his behind-the-scenes hard work.
Most of all, thank you to the residents and businesses of Sebastopol. While not all will agree with every aspect of this budget, it is an honor to serve this community of thoughtful, engaged, and often passionate residents. l'm both nd optimistic for the future as we continue on this journey together Don Schwartz

Subject: SAFE Team Model Information
The SAFE program is a collaborative effort based on the CAHOOTS model deployed in Eugene, Oregon, which is the leading model for emergency crisis intervention and prevention.
The goal of the SAFE team is to address crisis response, prevention and intervention for our most vulnerable community members experiencing mental health issues, substance abuse issues and homelessness. This team is made up of civilian first responders, who will respond to and proactively address calls for service that have traditionally burdened law enforcement, emergency medical services and health care providers.
Services provided by SAFE include responding to people who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, in need of treatment for mental illness, or who need shelter by providing counseling and transportation to the appropriate location.
The team also addresses minor medical complaints that do not require emergency room care. Left untreated, some of these medical conditions can become severe. The SAFE team is supported by a Coordinator, who manages referrals to the various social and mental health programs in Sonoma County. The SAFE team is a community resource that runs 24 hours per day, 7 days per week in the partner jurisdictions.
Calls for service involving mental health, addiction, and homelessness account for a significant number of calls to the Sebastopol police department. Our officers estimate that approximately 50% of their current workload is related to dealing with the homeless and/or individuals with mental health issues.
Our Fire Department is also impacted by calls for service relating to medical aids for these individuals, many of which would be eliminated with a SAFE program. If the City had a SAFE program, these calls could be responded to by a team with the tools, resources, and knowledge to address the unique needs of our most vulnerable community members more effectively.
The SAFE team provides 3 main services to the community:
• Emergency response for issues relating to mental health, addiction, and homelessness • Non-emergency response for people in need
• Proactive community outreach
SAFE team members are accompanied by police officers to calls for service only if a person is armed, believed to be in danger of causing harm to themselves or others, or if emergency medical care is needed. The SAFE team does not provide emergency medical care or perform involuntary mental health detention.
The team works proactively to address low level issues and provides preventative outreach to help ensure individuals don't end up needing a higher level of care. This program is intended to benefit all public safety by keeping police officers, firefighters, and paramedics available for appropriate emergencies and to lessen impacts on local ER’s.
SEBASTOPOL POLICE DEPARTMENT
Memorandum
Ronald Nelson
Chief of Police
14 In 2023, the Petaluma’s Chief of Police estimated that the SAFE program lowered the amount of calls police needed to respond to by 5% of their total annual call volume; and that individuals who would have been booked into the county jail were diverted through the use of the team; and trips by ambulance to an emergency room were able to be diverted through the use of the team, who is able to render some basic first aid and bandaging services with the EMT on board.
The teams also provide transports of individuals to various service providers including hospitals, clinics, the Redwood Gospel Mission, hotels, and transportation hubs. The Petaluma SAFE model has expanded into Rohnert Park, Cotati, and Sonoma State University who contracted together, independent of Petaluma PD, through combined funding and an MOU.
SAFE allows officers time to address more traditional policing activities, such as foot patrols, traffic enforcement, patrolling in neighborhoods and business areas which translates to crime prevention, and community policing activities.
More importantly, it provides our most vulnerable with a more effective, relevant response model staffed by a team of people with specialized training for meeting their specific needs than is provided by a traditional law enforcement response.
Vice Mayor Zollman and I met with Petaluma People’s Services Center to determine benefits of collaborating with PPSC to leverage existing behavioral health programs and ensure a seamless referral to an established continuum of care. In conversations with the Executive Director of Petaluma People’s services Center, Elece Hempel, the possibility exists for them to expand their program services for Sebastopol should we be able to fund it. The organization currently has contracts with and provides services for the cities of Petaluma and San Rafael separately, and Rohnert Park, Cotati, and Sonoma State University combined and sharing the costs, with substantial financial support from the County. For perspective, Cotati, who is very similar to us, funds $150,000 per year for their share of costs between the three agencies.
Their model provides homeless outreach services as well as transportation to services for unhoused, crisis intervention services for those experiencing mental health episodes, and they can be dispatched to situations without police assistance, or in conjunction with police response if the circumstances dictate based upon their operating procedures and their assessment of the situation at the time they are notified.
Based on the information provided by Ms. Hempel, if Sebastopol were to solely fund a SAFE team, the approximate costs for a full 24/7/365 service model would be $1.2 million per year. A 40-hour a week team would cost approximately $270,500 per year which includes all operating expenses (salary + benefits for 2 employees; maintenance, fuel, insurance for the van; supplies and equipment for the team, etc.). Her estimate is that it costs $130 per hour all-inclusive to fund a van staffed with the Crisis Intervention Trained worker, and a Mobile Crisis Medic that is EMT trained and certified. Onetime startup costs to purchase and outfit a van, and to purchase necessary equipment are estimated at $175,000.
Potential offsets to funding the model on our own would be explored through a possible shared model with another agency and community partners, exploring and obtaining grant funding, and attempting to procure a share of Measure O mental health funds.
Cities which have implemented SAFE, including Petaluma, Rohnert Park, and Cotati have found the program highly beneficial and increased the effectiveness of their Police Departments. They have not experienced any direct cost savings from SAFE.

CITY BUDGET COMMITTEE (STANDING COMMITTEE)
Budget Process
PURPOSE:
Once a year, the City Council approves a budget that outlines the policies and fiscal actions to be taken by the City.
The Budget Committee is a standing committee that reviews the proposed operating and capital budget each fiscal year and makes a recommendation on the budget to the City Council for final enactment. The budget process is structured each year to achieve the fiscal and policy goals for the upcoming fiscal year as well as periodically review and provide policy guidance to staff related to budgetary analysis and fiscal action plans and provide reports to the City Council for review and or action.
This committee shall consider and make recommendations to the Council on matters relating to:
• Revenues
• Expenditures
• Capital Improvement projects
• Fiscal Planning and Policies;
• Taxes and Fees;
• Investment Policy;
• Debt; and
• Such related fiscal issues as may be referred to it by the Council.
COMMITTEE MAKE UP:
The Budget Committee shall consist of the following:
• Two Councilmembers appointed by the City Council through Council Committee Assignments • City Manager
• Assistant City Manager/City Clerk
• Administrative Services Director
POSTING OF AGENDAS:
Whether or not a regular meeting schedule is adopted, an agenda shall be posted for each standing committee meeting not later than 72 hours before any meeting.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT:
Public involvement shall be encouraged in the annual budget decision-making process through Standing Committee meetings, public hearings, public outreach, and the dissemination of accessible information. Public participation efforts will allow the City to improve performance by identifying public needs, priorities and service delivery expectations. Increased public involvement will allow the City to be more responsive to community needs, thereby increasing the value that the public receives from City government.
ATTENDANCE BY COUNCILMEMBERS NOT ON THE COMMITTEE:
Members of the Council who are not members of a standing committee may attend any open and noticed meeting of a standing committee provided that they act only as observers. It is suggested that Members do not make any comments.
REQUESTS OF STAFF:
Standing Committee Councilmembers may request research from staff on new ideas to allow them to report back to the standing committee and if the standing committee supports the idea, the idea will be presented to City Council for direction or a vote.
20 BUDGET PROCESS: The budgeting process has four parts. The budget is: 1) prepared, 2) approved, 3) adopted, and 4) executed.
A fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30. From February to June, every year, City staff, the Mayor and City Council work together to create a balanced budget by June 30, as required by law.
PROPOSED BUDGET COMMITTEE PROCESS:
1. The City administrative team will be responsible for producing an initial recommended draft Budget to submit to the Budget Committee. The administrative team will consist of the City Manager, Assistant City Manager/City Clerk, and Administrative Services Director.
2. Department Directors will submit departmental budgets each year to the Administrative Services Director upon established timelines.
3. Upon receipt of the departmental budget requests, the Administrative Services Director will prepare a draft budget document to be used for review by the City administrative team.
4. This team will meet with Department Heads as needed, consider departmental budgetary requests as appropriate, and complete any other steps needed to provide the Budget Committee with an initial recommended draft Budget. The initial recommended draft Budget will be accompanied by a written report to the Budget Committee, providing an overview of the budget, summarizing any specific challenges presented by that year’s budget, summarizing changes made by the Team to Departmental budgets; and identifying any unresolved issues to be addressed by the Budget Committee. The information submitted to the Budget Committee will include any background information the City administrative team believes will be relevant to the Budget Committee’s decision-making regarding unresolved issues to be addressed by the Budget Committee. This initial draft Budget submitted to the Budget Committee will include draft versions of all portions of the final Budget for the year. This step will be an internal City staff process to be completed before Budget Committee meetings begin.
The Budget Committee will receive the initial recommended draft Budget produced by the administrative team, and will meet to discuss the recommendations of the administrative team. The Budget Committee will not hold individual meetings with Department Directors unless specifically requested by the Budget Committee. The Budget Committee will rely on the internal City staff process to do the necessary research and analysis to support the recommendations in the initial recommended draft Budget, and will focus on reviewing that document as well as any other materials provided by the administrative team, and addressing any unresolved issues. The Budget Committee will review and revise the initial recommended draft Budget as needed, and will produce a final draft Budget to be presented to the City Council at a duly noticed public hearing for discussion, review, and approval.
In addition to the process above, the Administrative Services Director shall be responsible for:
1. Prepare a Budget Calendar for Fiscal Year Budget and take to City Council for approval
2. Request budget input from all Department Directors
3. Request budget input from Community Benefit Grant Applicants
4. Prepare a draft budget as listed above
5. Shall be responsible for publishing all the notices required by Government Statue.
6. Shall be responsible for monitoring budget expenditures during the budget year and notifying the Council of the need to make any budget changes required after adoption. 21 Budget Timeline

Ives Pool utility reimbursement. Cost housed in Ives Pool budget Footnote - Item#11
The water and sewer funds pay for a portion of City administrative costs that are funded through the General Fund. These costs include Finance, City Manager, City Clerk, HR, and others. The City recently reviewed the method for calculating that payment. That review showed that the water and sewer funds should pay $714,000 less to the General Fund, as shown in the table.
In the past, such reimbursements were treated as a reduction in General Fund expenses. We now record these reimbursements as revenues for the General Fund, providing a more accurate representation of revenues and expenses.

OTHER NON-MAJOR GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Non-major governmental funds are essential components of a city's financial structure, supporting specific activities and projects that fall outside the general fund's scope. It's important to note that while these funds are 'non-major' in the context of the city's overall budget, they play a significant role in maintaining the city's infrastructure and services to ensure transparency and accountability in their usage. The various funds and their sources include:
a) Tree Replacement Fund (120) This fund is used for the removal and replacement of trees along City streets and City-owned properties (excluding City parks). Tree removal and replacement in City parks is paid from Measure M-Parks fund.
b) Permit Technology Fund (122) is an integral part of the city's infrastructure, aimed at streamlining the permit process through the implementation of advanced technological solutions. This fund supports the development and maintenance of a digital platform that facilitates efficient permit issuance, tracking, and management, ensuring that the city's building and development standards are upheld while providing a user-friendly experience for residents and contractors.
c) Street Pavement Reserve Fund (123) This fund is used for paving streets including associated improvements (such as curb and gutter). The fund is primarily used for CIP street paving project and not intended for general street maintenance activities. d) Vehicle Abatement Fund (125) was established to address the issue of abandoned vehicles within the city limits. It provides Sebastopol’s share of a county pool of funds provided by the state based on city size and population to remove, store, and dispose of these vehicles in an environmentally responsible manner. The fund is a testament to the city's proactive approach to maintaining public safety and aesthetics. It ensures that abandoned vehicles, which can be eyesores and potential hazards, are promptly dealt with, thereby preserving the integrity of the city's streets and neighborhoods.
e) Tobacco Management Program Fund (126) is a specialized fund dedicated to overseeing the management and regulation of tobacco-related activities within the city. The bulk of the funding was the result of a grant that was awarded by the Department of Justice. This fund is instrumental in implementing tobacco control measures, providing education and resources for cessation programs, and ensuring compliance with tobacco-related laws and regulations. f) Flood Mitigation Fund (127) is a financial reserve established to manage and mitigate the impacts of flooding within the city. This fund is a component of the city's emergency preparedness and response strategy, ensuring that resources are available to address the immediate and long-term effects of flood events and focus on its role in safeguarding the community against flood risks, detailing the measures and projects it supports, such as the construction of levees, improvement of drainage systems, and restoration of floodplains. g) Police Endowment Fund (128) is a fund that was established from an endowment donation from a donor who passed away but wanted a portion of their estate to go to the Sebastopol Police Department. The intention of the funds was for improvements and support for the police department that the employees would benefit from.

DESCRIPTION: Bodega Avenue Class I Multi-Use Trail (from Ragle Road to Valley View Drive on existing City planter strip right-of-way), marked two-way bike/ped crossing at intersection with Valley View Drive, and Class IV striped two-way bike facility on south shoulder of Bodega Avenue with raised separator (between Valley View Drive and existing terminus of County trail). The City will be applying for transportation grant funding in year 1. A concept plan will be prepared and presented to Council for approval before moving forward with grant application and final design.
JUSTIFICATION: Provides bicycle path connection on Bodega Avenue from Ragle Road to the County bike trail. This bike path is identified in the City's bicycle and pedestrian master plan. Note: Segment between Pleasant Hill Road and Ragle Road will only require new striping and will be done as part of street maintenance striping.
GENERAL PLAN Goals and Policies: Circulation CIR 2: Maintain and Expand a Safe and Efficient Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Transit Network that Connects Neighborhoods with Key Destinations to Encourage Travel by Non-Automobile Modes while also Improving Public Health. 5 Category

DESCRIPTION:
Provide bicycle lanes and sidewalks/pedestrian paths on Ragle Rd - from Bodega Ave to Mill Station Rd; Mill Station Rd - from Ragle Rd to SR 116. This is a joint City/County endeavor. City applied for ATP grant in 2018 and again in 2022 but was not awarded. This project is updated to exclude the bike lanes on Bodega Ave since the City has already completed the segment from High Street to Nelson Way and has secured a grant for the section up to Pleasant Hill Rd. This project is mostly on County right of way (approximately 75%) and the County will take the lead on applying for a grant for this project.
JUSTIFICATION: Listed as a regional project with SCTA/Measure M Plan, MTC, and CTC. Sonoma County BPAC has programmed $50,000 in their FY 2024-25 TDA Article 3 grant funding towards this project.

DESCRIPTION: The project is for undergrounding overhead utilities on Petaluma Avenue using Rule 20A work credits.
JUSTIFICATION: Due to the high cost of undergrounding and City commitment of local funds to implement the project, the undergrounding project was cancelled by Council at their 9/19/23 meeting. The Rule 20A work credits were transferred to the County of Sonoma for their undergrounding projects.
GENERAL PLAN Goals and Policies: Community Development CD-14: Continue to require the undergrounding of utility lines wherever feasible.

DESCRIPTION: Remove existing bridge guardrail and replace approximately 765 lineal feet of guard rail. Work includes replacing signage and related appurtenances. This project is primarily funded with a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP Cycle 11) grant from the State.
JUSTIFICATION: This segment of guardrail was identified as deficient (e.g. railing too low, outdated guardrail and end treatment systems) and in need of upgrades. This location was identified in the City's Local Road Safety Plan as an area with an increased number of lane departure collisions due to the narrow shoulder. Many vehicles drop off into the creek bed as the existing conditions do not provide adequate conditions for vehicles to recover. There is a significant drop off (around 1 foot) from the pavement to existing grade and unrecoverable side slopes of 2:1.
GENERAL PLAN Goals and Policies: Circulation CIR 1-9: Consider all transportation improvements as opportunities to improve safety, access, and mobility for all roadway users and avoid dead-end streets and culde-sacs. 8 Category

DESCRIPTION: This project is removing and/or replacing the pathway that runs from the southwest picnic area, along Calder Creek, to the restroom facility in the park. A large section of the replaced pathway will be designed to accommodate Public Works service vehicles to access the existing sewer line in the park. Tree removal and replacement work will occur in FY 2021-22 before the pathway construction occurs.
JUSTIFICATION: Several paved sections are in need of replacement due to potholes, unevenness, and lack of appropriate ADA access. The pathway is used for access to picnic areas and along the length of the trail, access for music events, playground access, pedestrian travel throughout the park, and for access near High Street where the new sculpture garden is being installed. This project has been modified from original plans to be consistent with the Ives Park Master Plan (Option B).
GENERAL PLAN Goals and Policies: Community Services and Facilities CSF 2-2: Ensure park and trail facilities are accessible to various segments of the population including: specific age groups, persons with special physical requirements, and groups interested in particular activities. 26 Category

DESCRIPTION: Phase 2 is for installing bike lanes and repaving Bodega Avenue from Robinson Rd./Nelson Way to Pleasant Hill Road. Due to funding constraints, this project was split into two phases with Phase 1 being High Street to Robinson/Nelson and Phase 2 continuing on to Pleasant Hill Road. Due to the extremely poor condition of the road in this Phase 2 section, the roadbed will need to be reconstructed rather than overlayed.
Because of the size of the project, a constructibility review and a review of the Engineer's Estimate and necessary modficiations to the Plans are planned for FY 24/25.
JUSTIFICATION: Bodega Avenue paving is deteriorated and needs resurfacing. The work also includes addition of bicycle lanes along Bodega Avenue. Due to environmental constraints, there may be a short section in front of Burbank Experimental Farm where bicycle sharrows will be painted in lieu of a bike lane. City applied for and awarded a Go Sonoma transportation grant for a maximum amount of $2.24 million for the construction and inspection. The City's minimum local match is 15% of the grant.
GENERAL PLAN Goals and Policies: Circulation CIR 1-11: Provide high quality regular maintenance for existing and future transportation facilities including streets, sidewalks, and paths. 32 Category

A fiscal policy supports long-term planning and enhances the City’s effectiveness in implementing long-term strategies to deliver efficient services to the public.
This document provides a structured, central repository for a variety of fiscal policies which are organized into the following categories
General Financial Principles
Annual Operating Budget Policy
Capital Improvement Program
Revenues
Expenditures
Cash Management
Debt Management
Fund Balances
Financial Reporting
Review and Update
GENERAL FINANCIAL PRINCIPAL
It is the overall policy of the City of Sebastopol to build upon a sound conceptual framework to:
Manage its financial resources in a responsible and prudent manner. Provide financial information in a relevant, thorough and timely manner, and in a format that effectively communicates financial status to the Council, citizens and City employees. Establish and maintain prudent fund balance levels.
Maintain financial reporting in compliance with current governmental accounting standards. Promote and implement a relevant and strong system of internal financial controls to manage significant risks and monitor the reliability and integrity of financial and operating reporting. Promote constructive and proactive financial decision making that includes, and is responsive to, citizens input and guidance.
Integrate long-term operating and capital resources planning into the annual budget process. Allow for uncertainties and maintain a posture of financial flexibility. Develop programs in a manner that supports the City’s long-term ability to cover costs and provide the level and quality of service required by its citizens.
Manage debt responsibly.
Establish and implement investment policies in accordance with the City code and State law.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET POLICY
An annual operating budget will be adopted by the City Council no later than June 30th of each fiscal year. The budget will include appropriations that provide expenditure authority to public officials 174
responsible for operating their respective departments to fulfill obligations to provide public services as delegated by the City Council.
Funds may not be expended for a new fiscal year until the budget for that fiscal year has been adopted by the City Council.
The City Council appointed Budget Subcommittee will develop and present a draft operating budget for consideration by the full City Council and Public. The operating budget will be presented to the City Council for review and adoption.
Total projected expenditures shall not exceed total estimated revenues. Should this occur, City Council may approve a planned use of accumulated fund balances in prior years for inclusion in the budget. The City should maintain a multi-year financial forecast that is updated as part of the annual budget development process.
One-time revenue sources are not to be relied upon to fund on-going operations.
Controlling and Adjusting the Annual Budget:
The City structures and controls its budget by use of the following funds:
o The general fund is the primary operating fund of the City. It accounts for the receipt of property tax, general sales tax, and other general revenues available to finance city operations. The general fund accounts for revenues and expenditures that do not fit the criteria to be accounted for in other funds with external restrictions imposed by their respective financing sources. o Special funds account for resources externally restricted for use by their respective funding sources, such as grant programs financed by the State and Federal governments. o Enterprise funds account for water and wastewater systems, may be used for fee-based programs if the intention is to recoup almost all City costs through fees or other user charges. o Internal Service funds account for centralized service costs (such as technology and vehicle services made available to all operating departments). Charges from the internal service funds appear as an expenditures in the user department, and as revenue in the central service department. The City’s budget is controlled at the fund level by the City Council. o The City Council, as representatives of the public, is the sole authority for creating or increasing expenditure appropriations within a fund. The City Council is also the exclusive authority for approving changes in revenue estimates with funds.
Department Heads will be held directly responsible and accountable for their budgets as originally adopted by the City Council or as thereafter revised in accordance with this policy. The level of expenditure control for departments is the department level.
Departments that operate programs among different funds are limited to the appropriation levels within any one fund. This policy also describes the level of authority needed to amend the adopted budget.
Transfers and revisions to the adopted budget:
The City Council approves:
1. All increases in appropriations within a department or fund.
2. All transfers of appropriations between funds.
3. All decreases in appropriations, with the exception that the City Manager may direct Department Heads to suspend expenditures pending Council consideration of decreases in appropriations needed to respond to fiscal emergency.
The City Manager approves:
1. Transfers of appropriations between expenditure line items within departments, projects and program budgets, up to $100,000.
2. Transfers between operating divisions and program budgets within departments.
3. The City Manager may make budget transfers between departments or programs as long as those changes do not increase overall appropriations within any one given fund. Transfers between funds, overall increases in fund appropriations, and overall increases in project 175
budgets can only be made through City Council action. Transfers between departments should be reported to the City Council as part of the budget amendment process, either at mid-year or at the proposal of a new budget term.
Finance Department:
1. The Finance Department is responsible for providing forms and instructions for requesting appropriation adjustments, and for analyzing and recommending adjustments to the City Manager. The Finance Department will record approved budgets and adjustments into the City’s budget system.
2. The Finance Department will ensure that the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) includes a comparison of actual expenditures against the final budget, as amended and adjusted under the authorities of this policy.
Operating expenditure appropriations not spent during the fiscal year lapse at year-end, except for:
o Encumbrances or commitments, as in the form of finalized purchase orders made during the fiscal year that have not been completed at year-end.
o Appropriations for capital improvement projects and ongoing grants with a life-cycle beyond one year.
Governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting while proprietary and fiduciary fund types are budgeted on a full accrual basis of accounting. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) presents City’s finances on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis and the City’s budget is prepared in conformance with these standards. City budget must comply with the annual determination of the City’s appropriations limit calculated in accordance with Article XIIB of the Constitution of the State of California and adopt an annual resolution to this effect.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City will develop and maintain a five-year capital improvement program (CIP) to be updated annually in conjunction with the operating budget. The CIP should reflect the current and changing needs of the community as well as enhance of the community’s quality of life. All projects within the CIP are to be tracked systematically and reported on a quarterly basis. CIP tracking reports should clearly display budget-to-actual performance by project, fund category and project status. Capital improvements that specifically benefit a select group of users and/or are fee-for-service based are to be financed through user fees, service charges, special assessments and taxes, or development impact fees.
Capital improvements that specifically benefit a fee-for-service enterprise operation (such as Water/Sewer) are to be financed through the service fees generated within that operation and fund. Such fees should be supported by periodic updates to the related utility master plan. Transfers of resources into the CIP fund will be evaluated on an annual basis dependent upon the existence of available surplus dollars.
The City should strive to maximize the use of capital grants and State assistance in funding capital improvements before tapping general revenue sources.
REVENUES
The City will strive to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to minimize the impact of economic fluctuation.
The City will seek out, apply for, and effectively administer Federal, State, and other grants that address the City’s current operating and capital priorities.
The City will pursue revenue collection and auditing to assure that funds due to the City are accurately received in a timely manner.
176
The City will seek reimbursements for State mandated costs whenever possible. The City will adopt user fees with appropriate levels of cost recovery. User fee studies should be performed and updated annually to ensure the proper balance of costs and service charges. The City should strive to cover the full cost of providing non-tax and discretionary fee-based service operations except to the extent that City Council approves defined subsidy levels by program area. Operating departments are to review public services to identify and determine those appropriate for fee collection. Recommendations for new fees are to be presented to the City Council as fees are annually updated to ensure they reflect all direct and reasonable indirect costs of providing such services. Enterprise operations will be self-supporting and shall reimburse the General Fund for any and all materials and services provided on their behalf.
EXPENDITURES
Expenditures are to be budgeted and controlled so as to not exceed estimated revenues plus the approved and planned use of fund balances accumulated in prior years. The City will conduct a mid-year financial status review to determine if projected revenues and expenditures meet target levels. If an operating deficit is projected at year-end, the City should evaluate the need for immediate corrective and/or mitigating actions, including operating or capital expenditure reductions and/or activate the use of established contingency balances. The deferral of essential and scheduled operational expenditures into the following fiscal year or the use of short-term loans and transfers to balance the budget should be avoided.
The City implements a formal purchasing system, principles, and guidelines to ensure that expenditure levels are kept in check in the course of any fiscal year.
CASH MANAGEMENT
The Budget Subcommittee will review the City’s investment policy periodically and make recommendations to the City Council when appropriate.
The responsibility of investing City funds rests with the Finance Director who is to exercise due diligence to adhere to the investment policy. The Finance Director will present to the City Council quarterly investment reports presenting a summary of the portfolio status and compliance with the conditions set forth in the investment policy.
DEBT MANAGEMENT
The City should plan the use of debt in a manner that sustains financing payments at manageable levels. The City will seek to maintain a high credit rating through sound financial practices as a basis for minimizing borrowing costs.
The City will make every effort to use pay-as-you-go financing for capital improvement projects. Debt financing for a project can be used if the overall project cost exceeds anticipated available resources and/or if the cost of financing is favorable as compared to the use of City investment holdings over the financing term.
The City will monitor all forms of debt annually in conjunction with the budget preparation process and report concerns and remedies, if necessary, to City Council. The City will diligently monitor its compliance with bond covenants.
The City will not issue long-term debt to finance current operations. Debt financing should only be used for long-term capital improvement projects with a useful life exceeding the term of the financing and for which the project revenues or specific identified revenue sources are sufficient to service the long-term debt. The City will use a lease-purchase method of financing for equipment if the lease rates are more favorable than the City’s expected overall investment rate of return. 177
The City will not incur general obligation indebtedness for public improvements which exceed in aggregate 15% of the assessed value of all real and personal property of the City as specified in the California Government Code Section 43605.
FUND BALANCES
Governmental Fund Type Definitions
Governmental fund types include the general fund, special revenue funds, capital projects funds, debt service funds and permanent funds. GASB has clarified the definitions of these funds as follows:
General Fund
The General Fund should be used to account for and report all financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects. The restricted or committed proceeds of specific revenue sources should be expected to continue to comprise a substantial portion of the inflows reported in the fund. Other resources (investment earnings and transfers from other funds, for example) also may be reported in the fund if those resources are restricted, committed, or assigned to the specified purpose of the fund. Governments should discontinue reporting a special revenue fund, and instead report the fund's remaining resources in the general fund, if the government no longer expects that a substantial portion of the inflows will derive from restricted or committed revenue sources.
Capital Projects Funds
Capital projects funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. Capital projects funds exclude those types of capital-related outflows financed by proprietary funds or for assets that will be held in trust for individuals, private organizations or other governments.
Debt Service Funds
Debt service funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest, even if it is being accumulated for future years' payments. Debt service funds should be used to report resources if legally mandated.
Permanent Funds
Permanent funds should be used to account for and report resources that are restricted to the extent that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the reporting government's programs. Permanent funds do not include private-purpose trust funds, which should be used to report situations in which the government is required to use the principal or earnings for the benefit of individuals, private organizations, or other governments.
Fund Balance Classifications
Fund balance is defined as the difference between assets and liabilities. Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 54 classified fund balances into the following categories:
Non-spendable: This is a portion of fund balance not available for appropriations by its nature or external restriction. Examples are inventories and donations that require intact principal values.
Spendable: Restricted: The restricted portion of fund balance is subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions.
Examples are Gas Tax revenues and grant proceeds.
178
Committed: The committed portion of fund balance is constrained by the limitations imposed through formal City Council action. Only formal City Council action can remove or modify a previously committed amount.
Assigned: The Assigned portion of fund balance is established for intended use by either the City Council or its designee, such as the City Manager. No formal City Council action is needed to remove the intended use. GAAP required reserves, such as the Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) reserve, belong to this category. The Fiscal Policy and State Revenue Stabilization policy balances belong to this category.
Unassigned: The Unassigned portion of fund balance is that remaining after the non-spendable, the restricted, the committed, and the assigned fund balances are identified and recorded.
The City of Sebastopol will use GASB's definitions of fund balance for the annual financial reports (audits) and for all other financial reporting. For all financial planning purposes, the term Budgetary Fund Balance will be used and will include any portion of the fund balance that is available for appropriation. Portions of the fund balance not available for appropriation will be identified as follows.
The City shall strive to use the most restricted fund balances prior to utilizing those that are less restricted. The following order of use reflects this guideline:
a. Non-spendable (if funds become spendable)
b. Restricted
c. Committed
d. Assigned
e. Unassigned
Fund Balance Policy Levels
Purpose
The City of Sebastopol (City) has enacted the Fund Balance policies in an effort to ensure financial security through the maintenance of a healthy fund contingency balance that guides the creation, maintenance, and use of resources for financial stabilization purposes. The City’s primary objective is to maintain a prudent level of financial resources to protect against reducing service levels or raising taxes and fees due to temporary revenue shortfalls or unpredicted one-time expenditures. The City also seeks to maintain the highest possible credit ratings which are dependent, in part, on the City’s maintenance of a healthy fund balance.
General Fund
The City’s fiscal goal is to maintain annual expenditure increases at a sustainable growth rate, and to limit expenditures to anticipated revenue in order to maintain a balanced budget. The Council’s directed target is to maintain an unassigned fund balance within the range of not less than 15% of annual operating expenditures for the fiscal year with a multi-year goal of achieving a 20% unassigned fund balance level for the reasons noted below. This level of coverage includes General Fund balance amounts specifically assigned for a specific purpose as discussed and defined further below:
To provide funding to cover approximately two (2) months of operating expenses with the goal of achieving three months coverage in the long term.
To provide the liquidity to respond to contingent liabilities. To adhere to Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommendation that a minimum General Fund unassigned fund balance to be maintained of no less than either two (2) months of regular operating revenues or expenditures.
Buildings, Facilities & Infrastructure Reserve
Building, facilities and infrastructure replacement reserve should be established and maintained to provide for the timely replacement of City’s owned fixed assets. The balance is hereby defined as assigned by the City Council to 179
allow the City to maintain an infrastructure reserve with a target balance equivalent to the projected annual cost of the first year Capital Improvement Plan funding expenditures.
Equipment, Technology and Vehicle Replacement Reserve
The balance is hereby defined as assigned by the City Council to allow the City to set aside an appropriate amount of money to properly fund equipment, technology and vehicle replacement. The City shall set aside funding annually in this reserve based on the vehicle and equipment replacement schedule.
CalPERS Retirement & Other Post-Employment Benefits Reserve The City conducted an actuarial study to comply with GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-Employment Benefits and to determine the City’s obligation for the other postemployment benefits (OPEB). The study concluded that the City should set aside annual funding for this obligation and the City should maintain internal funding of OPEB obligations for this purpose. Additionally, the City will conduct an actuarial update every two to three years to maintain the current status of this valuation.
Unassigned Operating Reserve
These balances are hereby defined as unassigned by the City Council to allow the City to weather unpredicted cyclical and rapid downturns in the economy. These funds would be available for use in such conditions to mitigate negative economic fiscal impacts or State takeaways and can be activated within any one budget cycle through Council action. An economic downturn would entail a projected and/or sudden drop in core revenues (major tax and service revenue loss) of equal to or greater than 10% (including the impact of inflation) and/or a change in economic parameters (such as interest rates, debt service rates, pension and health rates) that cause a material change in expenditures of 10% or more, or the occurrence of a local natural disaster or unexpected financial claim requiring the immediate use of cash balances.
Water and Sewer Fund Balances
The City should maintain the balances in the Water Sewer Fund at a level sufficient to accommodate operating and capital needs. This reserve is recommended at 25% of annual expenditures, including estimated capital improvements. Multi-year fee studies for this fund should be updated periodically as a basis for defining the revenue sources necessary to maintain system infrastructure and required services levels. As a result of the periodic fee or master plan studies, adjustments to user charges may be necessary to maintain recommended fund balance levels.
Workers’ Compensation and Liability Insurance Funding
Periodic actuarial studies of self-insured workers’ compensation and general liabilities will be conducted to ensure that proper levels of liabilities are accrued for claims and that rates charged to operating departments are appropriate.
FINANCIAL REPORTING
The City’s accounting and financial reports are to be maintained in conformance with GAAP. An annual financial audit will be performed by an independent public accounting firm familiar with municipal government activities. The independent auditor will issue an audit opinion to be included in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Additionally, the auditor will present the CAFR and discuss audit findings to the City Council. The City encourages the rotation of audit service providers every 5 year cycle.
The City is encouraged to submit the Annual CAFR to State and/or National Government Finance Professional organizations (Government Finance Officers’ Association’s Certification of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting - California Society of Municipal Finance Officers CAFR Award) for independent review and evaluation.
Internal financial status reports are to be issued on a periodic and timely basis – no less than quarterly and be made readily available on the City website.
180
The City is to record the depreciation of equipment, buildings and facilities, and infrastructure as follows and in line with internally established capitalization guidelines:
Capitalization Thresholds
Land purchases at any value
Equipment - $5,000
Buildings and facility improvements - $25,000
Infrastructure - $100,000
Depreciation
Depreciation will be recorded on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Equipment 3 - 10 years
Site Improvements other than buildings 30 - 50 years
Buildings 50 years
Infrastructure 30 - 100 years
REVIEW AND UPDATE
This financial policy will be reviewed periodically and updated, if necessary, to reflect any changing requirements. 181
PURCHASING POLICY
Effective September 5, 2017
Revised: March 15, 2022
Council Policy # _89______
I. OVERVIEW
This policy is written to document the policies and procedures that shall be followed when purchasing goods or services. All purchases of materials, supplies, equipment, vehicle and services required by the City shall be made in accordance with the following, and pursuant to applicable provisions of the Government Code. This policy will be reviewed with new members of the City Council and new Department Heads/Managers as soon as possible after they assume office/responsibility. This policy shall also be reviewed as part of the annual budgeting process.
II. ETHICS AND RESPONSIBILITY
The City Manager (or designee) serves as the Purchasing Agent, and is charged with the responsibility and authority for coordinating and controlling the City’s purchasing function in accordance with Purchasing Policies.
The Purchasing Agent and all departments shall adhere to the Purchasing Policy when procuring materials, supplies, equipment, vehicles and services. All purchases shall be limited to the approved budget or as otherwise authorized by the City Manager. Purchasing dollar limits specified in the Purchasing Policy is “per order” unless otherwise indicated.
Applicable competitive bidding categories, authorization limits or contract award procedures will be based on unit cost, total purchase cost for consolidated bid items, or fiscal year aggregates in the case of standing purchase orders or similar ongoing purchasing arrangements. Staging of purchases to avoid competitive bidding procedures or authorization limits is prohibited.
All personnel engaged in the purchasing function shall exercise good judgment in the use and stewardship of City resources, and all purchasing functions shall be conducted with absolute integrity and objectivity. Purchases are subject to public scrutiny; employees shall follow a strict rule of personal conduct that will not compromise the City in the conduct of its business.
Any employee intentionally and/or repeatedly making purchases in a manner that circumvents, ignores or fails to comply with Purchasing Policies will be subject to disciplinary action, in accordance with City Personnel procedures.
Code Of Conduct – Employees are responsible for providing access to City procurement opportunities in a fair and impartial manner to all responsible suppliers, vendors, and contractors.
In addition, all employees shall behave in a manner that avoids improprieties or the appearance of improprieties to maintain the public’s confidence in the integrity of the City’s purchasing system.
Conflict Of Interest - If a city officer or employee has a real or apparent conflict of interest, said individual may not participate in the selection, award, or administration of any contract, including those supported by a federal award or funding, that implicates that conflict of interest. If a city 182
officer or employee participates in making a contract where said individual has a real or apparent conflict of interest, such conflict may nullify or void a contract. As nullification or voiding of a contract is a serious matter with potentially significant consequences for the City, every officer or employee is responsible for recognizing and reporting a potential conflict of interest in timely manner.
A conflict of interest may arise when the city officer or employee has a direct financial interest in, or would receive a direct or material benefit arising from a contract. City officers and employees shall not be financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity, as such terms are defined in California Government Code Sections 1090 et seq. and 87100 et seq., and relevant case law.

CONTRACT or CHECK SIGNING AUTHORITY
The City Manager and Administrative Services may designate their signature authority in their absence.
In the course of conducting City business, the City is required to make a variety of different types of purchases. The type of purchase dictates the policies and procedures for procuring and formalizing the purchase. Before employees make a purchase, they should identify the type of purchase and the proper method for completing that purchase. This category of purchases includes the purchase of tangible durable and non-durable goods by the City. Examples of these types of purchases include fuel, tools, office supplies, chemicals, machinery, food, and furniture. These types of purchases are distinct from the purchase of nontangible services.
Competitive Process – This policy is designed to promote full and open competition among potential vendors. Through full and open competition, the City is able to realize better pricing and more favorable terms. In interpreting this policy, staff should rely on interpretations that favor greater and more robust competition among vendors.

Best Overall Value – This policy is designed to ensure that the City is getting the best value for its money when making purchaes. When not required by law to select the lowest bidder, the principle permits the City to consider factors other than just price in determining what constitues the best overall value to the City.
Fairness And Transparency – This policy is designed to promote fairness and transparency in the City’s purchasing system. Complying with this policy fosters equal opportunities for vendors wishing to do business with the City and ensures that public expenditures are made in an open and consistent manner.
Compliance With Law And Best Practices – This policy is informed by and incorporates applicable laws, regulations, and best practices applicable to public procurements. Compliance with this policy ensures that purchases are conducted in accordance with the City’s legal and ethical obligations and responsibilities.
Conduct With Vendors All employee interactions with vendors shall be conducted in a fair, open, and transparent manner. Employees shall:
i. Refrain from showing favoritism to vendors or being unduly influenced by external factors outside the criteria outlined in this policy.
ii. Select all vendors on the basis of meeting appropriate and fair criteria in accordance with the requirements of this policy.
No Gratuities - No City employee shall solicit, demand, accept, or agree to accept, and shall avoid the appearance of accepting, a gift of goods or services, payment, loan, advance, deposit of money, or employment offer presented, promised in return for, or in anticipation of favorable consideration in a City procurement.
VI. METHODS OF PROCUREMENT
The type of purchase and the amount of a purchase dictates the method of procurement. Smaller and less complex purchases involve less stringent competitive requirements. Conversely, more valuable and more complex purchases require stricter, more formalized competitive processes.
Informal Procurement
Micro purchases need not be awarded competitively, but the price must be determined to be fair and reasonable and should be distributed equitably among qualified suppliers. Micro Purchases do not require advertising or solicitation of quotes/bids. However, seeking multiple quotes/bids, even when not required, is a best practice and helps to ensure that the City receives better pricing for its purchases. Micro purchasing is defined as for purchases valued under $5,000.
Informal Solicitation
Informal solicitation involves seeking three (3) written quotes from potential vendors. These written quotes may be informally documented, such as through emails between City employees and potential vendors. Informal solicitation may be used for purchases of goods, non-public works construction projects, and consultant/professional services valued at $50,000 or less. 186
Formal Competitive Proposals (RFP)
In a formal competitive proposal process, the City must: (i) prepare a request for proposal document identifying the project requirements, vendor qualifications, and evaluation factors; (ii) send the RFP to an adequate number of qualified sources as determined by the relevant department head or the City Manager; (iii) post the RFP on the City’s website at least ten (10) days prior to the deadline for receipt of proposals; and (iv) establish and implement procedures for evaluation of proposals. Formal competitive proposals shall be used for purchases valued at more than $50,000.
Cooperative Procurement
Cooperative purchasing allows the City to buy goods or services based on a competitively bid contract prepared by another public agency, when that other agency and the vendor(s) agreed in advance to a cooperative process. Use of purchasing cooperatives is encouraged as a way to obtain goods and services by aggregating volume, securing value pricing, and reducing administrative overhead. Measured use of purchasing cooperatives can significantly reduce the time and resources needed to competitively purchase goods and services.
Sole Source Procurement
Regardless of the estimated cost of a purchase, the City is not required to engage in a competitive procurement process, either formal or informal when a competitive procurement is infeasible for the reasons articulated in this section. In all cases, the City must verify and document that a particular procurement meets the criteria for a sole source identified below, and the use of sole source must be approved by the City Manager. Sole source procurement is authorized if one of the following conditions are met:
a. Unique or Innovative Concept - The vendor demonstrates a unique or innovative concept or capability not available from another source. “Unique or Innovative Concept” means a new, novel, or changed concept, approach, or method that is the product of original thinking, the details of which are kept confidential or are patented or copyrighted, and is available to the City only from one source and has not in the past been available to the City from another source;
b. Patents or Restricted Data Rights – Patent or data rights restrictions preclude competition; c. Substantial Duplication Costs – In the case of a subsequent contract for the continued development or production of highly specialized equipment or products and/or major components thereof, when it is likely that award to another contractor would result in substantial duplication of costs that are not expected to be recovered through competition; d. Unacceptable Delay – In the case of a subsequent contract for the continued development or production of highly specialized equipment or products and/or major components thereof, when it is likely that award to another contractor would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the City’s needs.
Emergency Procurement
Emergency procurements are those purchases necessary to avoid or mitigate a clear and imminent threat or danger where delay could result in loss of life or danger to health, welfare, or property or threaten the continued operation of the City or the provision of essential City services. (See Section XI Urgent and Emergency Purchases for more details)
187
Exempt Procurement
This Section outlines types of procurements that are exempt from the standard competitive requirements outlined in this policy and also includes special considerations related to those exempt procurements. Despite the fact that a procurement may be exempt, the City may still conduct negotiations as to price, delivery and terms in connection with the award of a contract that does not require a competitive process. Nothing in this section shall preclude the solicitation of competitive bids or proposals when possible. The following is a list of procurements that are exempt from the competitive requirements outlined in this Policy.
1. Emergency procurements as defined above;
2. Specified materials or equipment that can be obtained from only one source and there is no adequate substitute in accordance with the criteria outlined in sole source section above;
3. Legal or professional services that are highly specialized;
4. Procurements funded by grants, donations or gifts when any special conditions require the purchase of particular materials and/or services;
5. Purchase of surplus property owned by another public entity, or payment to other public entities or utilities;
6. Membership dues, conventions, training, travel arrangements, or advertisements in magazines, newspapers, or other media;
7. Works of art, entertainment or performance; and
8. Where competitive bids or proposals have been solicited and no bid or proposal has been received. In such situations the City Manager may proceed to have the goods procured or services performed without further competitive bidding.
VII. LOCAL VENDOR PREFERENCE:
Whenever possible, the City wishes to support, promote the use of local businesses, suppliers an services providers to help create a sustainable economy, preserve local businesses, and make a commitment to circulate tax dollars within city limits.

(e) For purposes of this chapter, "facility" means any plant, building, structure, ground facility, utility system, subject to the limitation found in paragraph (3) of subdivision (c), real property, streets and highways, or other public work improvement. (f) Every November of each year, Department of Public Works will send out a written notice to all constructions trade journals designated for the City under PCC §22036(c), inviting all licensed contractors to register on the City’s Bidders List for Notification of Informal Bids for the following calendar year. A qualified bidders’ list can be obtained at the Public Works Department.
(g) City Council adopted Resolution No. 5763 electing that the City be subject to the CUPPCCAA.
(g) Projects valued at less than $200,000, or as may be revised from time to time by the State of California, may be let by informal bidding, in accordance with the informal bidding procedures of the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act. Projects valued at less than $60,000, or as may be revised from time to time by the State of California, may be performed by City forces or be let by informal quotes and negotiated price.

10.1 This EPP policy shall take effect on July 1, 2022. 236
INVESTMENT POLICY
Effective September 1, 2017
OVERVIEW
This policy describes the parameters for investing government funds and identifies the investment objectives, preferences or tolerance for risk, constraints on the investment portfolio, and how the investment program will be managed and monitored. The document serves as a communication tool for staff, elected officials, the public, rating agencies, bondholders, and any other stakeholders on investment guidelines and priorities. An investment policy enhances the quality of decision making and demonstrates a commitment to the fiduciary care of public funds, making it the most important element in a public funds investment program.
I. Governing Authority
The investment program shall be operated in conformance with governing legislation and other legal requirements.
II. Scope
This policy applies to the investment of all funds, excluding the investment of employees' retirement funds if applicable.
a. Pooling of Funds - Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration.
Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
III. General Objectives
The primary objectives of investment activities shall be safety, liquidity, and return:
➢ SAFETY - Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.
a. Credit Risk - The City will minimize credit risk, which is the risk of loss of all or part of the investment due to the failure of the security issuer or backer, by:
• Limiting investments to the types of securities listed in Section VII of this Investment Policy.
• Pre-qualifying and conducting ongoing due diligence of the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisers with which the City will do business in accordance with Section V.
• Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of potential losses from any one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be minimized. 237
b. Interest Rate Risk - The City will minimize interest rate risk, which is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in market interest rates, by:
• Structuring the investment portfolio so that security maturities match cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity.
• Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities, money market mutual funds, or similar investment pools and limiting individual security maturity as well as the average maturity of the portfolio in accordance with this policy (see section VIII).
➢ LIQUIDITY - The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). Alternatively, a portion of the portfolio may be placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment pools which offer sameday liquidity for short-term funds. ➢ RETURN - The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core investments are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall generally be held until maturity with the following exceptions:
• A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal; • Selling a security and reinvesting the proceeds that would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio may be undertaken;
• Unanticipated liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.
IV. Standards of Care
1. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "uniform prudent investor act" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio.
Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and the liquidity and the sale of securities are carried out in accordance with the terms of this policy.
2. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees 238
and investment officials shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, in accordance with applicable laws. They shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.
3. Delegation of Authority
Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the Finance Director.
Responsibility for the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to the Finance Director, who shall act in accordance with established written procedures and internal controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Finance Director. The Finance Director shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials.
V. Authorized Financial Institutions, Depositories, and Broker/Dealers
1. Authorized Financial Institutions, Depositories, and Broker/Dealers A list will be maintained of financial institutions and depositories authorized to provide investment services. In addition, a list will be maintained of approved security broker/dealers selected by creditworthiness and/or other factors, such as FINRA broker check.
All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified for investment transactions must supply the following as appropriate:
• Audited financial statements demonstrating compliance with state and federal capital adequacy guidelines
• Proof of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) certification (not applicable to Certificate of Deposit counterparties)
• Proof of state registration
• Completed broker/dealer questionnaire (not applicable to Certificate of Deposit counterparties)
• Certification of having read and understood and agreeing to comply with the City’s investment policy.
• Evidence of adequate insurance coverage.
An annual review of the financial condition and registration of all qualified financial institutions and broker/dealers will be conducted by the Finance Director.
VI. Safekeeping and Custody
1. Delivery vs. Payment
All trades of marketable securities will be executed by delivery vs. payment (DVP) to ensure that securities are deposited in an eligible custody account prior to the release of funds.
2. Safekeeping
239
Securities will be held by an independent third-party custodian selected by the entity as with all securities held in the City’s name. The safekeeping institution shall annually provide a copy of their most recent report on internal controls (Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70, or SAS 70).
3. Internal Controls
The Finance Director shall establish a system of internal controls, which shall be documented in writing. The internal controls shall be reviewed annually by the Budget Subcommittee, where present, and with the independent auditor. The controls shall be designed to prevent the loss of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, mis-representation by third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the City.
VII. Suitable and Authorized Investments
1. Investment Types – The following investments will be permitted by this policy:
• U.S. Treasury obligations which carry the full faith and credit guarantee of the United States government;
• U.S. government agency and instrumentality obligations that have a liquid market with a readily determinable market value;
• Certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at financial institutions, • Bankers' acceptances;

Investment in derivatives of the above instruments shall require authorization by the City Council.
VIII. Investment Diversification & Constraints
1. Diversification
It is the policy of the City to diversify its investment portfolios. To eliminate risk of loss resulting from the overconcentration of assets in a specific maturity, issuer, or class of securities, all cash and cash equivalent assets in all City’s funds shall be diversified by maturity, issuer, and security type. Diversification strategies shall be determined and revised periodically by the Finance Director for all funds except for the employee retirement fund.
240
In establishing specific diversification strategies, the following general policies and constraints shall apply: Portfolio maturities shall be staggered to avoid undue concentration of assets in a specific maturity sector. Maturities selected shall provide for stability of income and reasonable liquidity.
• Liquidity shall be assured through practices ensuring that the next disbursement date and payroll date are covered through maturing investments or marketable U.S. Treasury bills.
• Positions in securities having potential default risk (e.g., commercial paper) shall be limited in size so that in case of default, the portfolio’s annual investment income will exceed a loss on a single issuer’s securities.
• Risks of market price volatility shall be controlled through maturity diversification and duration management.
• The investment committee/investment officer shall establish strategies and guidelines for the percentage of the total portfolio that may be invested in securities other than repurchase agreements, Treasury bills or collateralized certificates of deposit. The committee shall conduct a quarterly review of these guidelines and evaluate the probability of market and default risk in various investment sectors as part of its considerations.
The following diversification limitations shall be imposed on the portfolio:
• Maturity: No more than xx percent of the portfolio may be invested beyond xx months, and the weighted average maturity of the portfolio shall never exceed xx years.
• Default risk: No more than xx percent of the overall portfolio may be invested in the securities of a single issuer, except for securities of the U.S.
Treasury. No more than xx percent of the portfolio may be invested in each of the following categories of securities:
a) Commercial paper,
b) Negotiable certificates of deposit,
c) Bankers’ acceptances,
d) Any other obligation that does not bear the full faith and credit of the United States government or which is not fully collateralized or insured and
• Liquidity risk: Based on liquidity needs, at least xx percent of the overall portfolio shall be invested in overnight instruments or in marketable securities which can be converted to cash within one day.
2. Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the [entity] shall attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the [entity] will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of purchase or in accordance with governing legislation. The [entity] shall adopt weighted average maturity limitations consistent with the investment objectives.
Reserve funds and other funds with longer-term investment horizons may be segregated into a long-term “core” investment portfolio and invested in securities exceeding five (5) years if the maturities of such investments are made to coincide as nearly as practicable with the expected use of funds. The intent to invest in securities with longer maturities 241

A series of appropriate benchmarks shall be established against which portfolio performance shall be compared on a regular basis. The benchmarks shall be reflective of the actual securities being purchased and risks undertaken, and the benchmarks shall have a similar weighted average maturity as the portfolio.
3. Marking to Market
The market value of the portfolio shall be calculated at least quarterly [or monthly] and a statement of the market value of the portfolio shall be issued at least quarterly [or monthly]. This will ensure that review of the investment portfolio, in terms of value and price volatility, has been performed consistent with the GFOA Recommended Practice on "Mark-to-Market Practices for State and Local Government Investment Portfolios and Investment Pools."

CITY OF SEBASTOPOL
Capitalization and Depreciation Policy #91
The City of Sebastopol has a Capital (Fixed) Asset Accounting System to safeguard a sizeable investment, fix responsibility for the custody of equipment, assist in the formulation of acquisition and retirement policies through accumulation of data regarding prices, sources of supply and useful life, to provide data for financial reporting, to provide record support and to account for reimbursement of depreciation under grants and proprietary service programs, and to provide information for insurance purposes.
Fixed assets are capitalized because they are used in the production of the goods or services provided and sold. Depreciation must be recorded to determine total expenses, user charges, net income, and changes in fund equity. Capital assets also may serve as a basis for debt issued to establish, acquire, or improve a public enterprise.
Capital assets are reported in the applicable proprietary funds or in the general fixed assets account group.
Definitions:
Capital assets are assets of a relatively permanent nature and of significant value, and are broadly classified as property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure (e.g. roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) assets.
Land includes the investment in real estate other than:
a. Structures, pipeline, pump stations, reservoirs and other improvements, and b. Land acquired for pipeline and road purposes.
All land, as above defined, shall be capitalized without regard for significance of cost.
Buildings and improvements are physical property of a permanent nature, examples of which are buildings, structural attachments, storage tanks, reservoirs, pump stations, wells, and parking areas.
Sidewalks, trees and drives in connection with other structures should also be capitalized. Fixtures are permanent attachments to structures which are not intended to be removed and which function as part of the structure, such as boilers, pumps, lighting fixtures or plumbing.
Pipelines include mains, services, valves, hydrants, manholes, and other appurtenances. Paving of ditch lines is also included in plant values.
Equipment includes moveable personal property of a relatively permanent nature and of significant value, such as machines, tools, and vehicles, computer equipment and software.
Relatively permanent is defined as a useful life in excess of one year.
Significant value is defined as a minimum initial cost of more than $10,000 ($25,000 for infrastructure type assets.
244
Treatment of Costs Subsequent to Acquisition
Expenditures on fixed assets which are incurred after their original acquisition are defined and recorded as follows:
Maintenance is defined as expenditures, which neither materially add to the value of property nor appreciably prolong its life, but merely keep it in an ordinary efficient operating condition.
Maintenance costs shall not be capitalized.
Capitalized Expenditures are defined as expenditures, which materially add to the value of property or appreciably extend its life. The cost of capitalized expenditures should be added to the book value of the asset where the original cost of a component being improved can be specifically identified. This amount should be written off and the new cost capitalized. Capitalized expenditures are on occasion referred to as betterments. The decision as to whether an expenditure should be capitalized shall be made by an evaluation of engineering, physical, or other relevant factors apart from cost.
Additions are new and separate units, or extensions of existing units, and are considered to be fixed assets. As with betterments the test of significance should be applied.
Alterations are changes in the physical structure or arrangement of fixed assets, the cost of which does not qualify as an increase in fixed assets under the foregoing definitions of betterments and additions. Alterations shall not be capitalized.
Valuation
Reasons for Assigning Value
A dollar-value should be assigned to each fixed asset item for the following reasons:
a. Dollar amounts serve as a control device; they are an important aspect of identification of a particular item or group of items.
b. Dollar amounts make it possible to present to the public the City’s investment in fixed assets. c. Dollar amounts provide a check on the adequacy of the City’s insurance coverage. d. Dollar amounts on individual items provide information for cost accounting.
Valuation Basis
Fixed assets should be accounted for at historical cost, or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated fixed assets should be recorded at their estimated fair market value at the date of donation. Surplus property purchases at nominal prices far below actual value are in part donations and should be so valued.
Land Cost
The cost of land includes all expenditures in connection with its acquisition, such as: purchase price; appraisal and negotiation fees; title search fees; surveying fees; cost of consents; relocation costs; condemnation costs; clearing land for use; demolishing or removing structures; and filing costs.
Receipts from the sales of salvage should be credited against the land cost. 245
Buildings and Improvements Cost
The cost of structures and improvements includes all expenditures in connection with their acquisitions, such as: purchase price or construction cost; fixtures attached to the structure; architects’ fees; accident or injury costs; payment of damages; insurance during construction; cost of permits and licenses; and net interest cost during construction.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
The cost should be reduced for: sale of salvage from materials charged against the construction; discounts, allowance and rebates secured; and amounts recovered through surrender of liability and casualty insurance. Rentals of property during the construction period should be credited to revenue unless otherwise restricted.
Equipment Cost
The cost of equipment includes: purchase price or construction cost less discounts; freight or other carriage charges; sale, use, or transportation taxes; and installation costs.
Construction by Force Account
Fixed assets constructed by the City are recorded in the same manner as those acquired by purchase or construction contract. Costs are initially charged to the accounts of the cost center performing the construction and are then transferred to the project. These costs include direct labor, materials, equipment usage and overhead. Overhead is limited to those items, such as worker’ s compensation and employee group insurance premiums, retirement, sick leave and vacation allowances, which can be distributed on the basis of direct labor. Administrative overhead outside the cost center may be capitalized when clearly related to the construction.
Assets Acquired Under Lease Purchase Agreements
Lease contracts convey property to another for a specific period of time for a specified rent. Lease contracts are accounted for either by the operating method under which periodic payments are charged as expenditures, or by the financing method under which the payments are treated as debt service.
