27 committee selects by motion and majority vote one member as acting chair for the duration of the meeting or absence.

Subcommittees. The committee may in its discretion appoint members to subcommittees for the purpose of researching specific issues, conducting community outreach, and/or formulating recommendations to the committee, and may also engage experts or other persons (who will not be considered as members). Subcommittee membership will be less than a majority of the total membership of the committee. Prior to creating a subcommittee, the committee will consult with staff to determine whether the subcommittee is subject to the Brown Act, in which case formation of the subcommittee will be subject to Council approval.

Bylaws. Committees may adopt bylaws governing their work that are consistent with this protocol and other City laws. Proposed bylaws must be reviewed by staff and approved by the City Council.

MEETING ADMINISTRATION
• Committees should meet at a regular interval (day and time) and location to facilitate public attendance and to provide an accessible forum for the public to attend.
• Committees and committee members shall conduct themselves in accordance with the requirements of State law and the Municipal Code.
• Meetings must be noticed to the public at least 72 hours prior to regular meetings, and 24 hours prior to special meetings, as required by the Brown Act.
• All meeting notices must be posted outside St. Helena City Hall and on the City website.
• Agendas must adhere to the form provided by the City to ensure consistency and clarity.
• Meeting minutes will be recorded using the City template and submitted for approval at the next committee meeting. Once approved, the minutes are submitted to the City Clerk for official record.

Quorum and Voting. A quorum is required to hold a meeting. A quorum is defined as the majority of the number of members, not counting alternates, which officially comprise a committee. Absences and vacancies do not change the quorum number. For example, if a committee is established with five members, the quorum is three members. If there are two vacancies on the committee, the quorum is still three members.

If a committee meets but does not have a quorum, either through lack of a quorum at the start of the meeting or due to members leaving the meeting, the Agenda Item #12.1.

28 committee may not conduct its regular business. In these instances, the committee may only act to adjourn to the next meeting date, recess, or take measures to obtain a quorum.

A majority vote is required to approve any action by the committee, unless otherwise required by law.

Alternate Members. Alternate members may vote only upon one of the following conditions:

1. Absence of one or more of the regular members of the committee; or

2. Disqualification of a regular member of the committee due to an expressed conflict of interest.

If more than one alternate member is present and only one vote is available, the alternate members will toss a coin to determine who may vote.

City Staff Liaison. The City Manager will designate a staff liaison to each committee. The liaison will be available to attend committee meetings at the request of the committee chair and with advance notice. The staff liaison’s role is to assist the committee in understanding City functions and requirements, such as state regulations, Municipal Code requirements, and conflict of interest and Brown Act requirements. The staff liaison ensures the continued flow of information regarding the City’s efforts and progress on work that pertains to the committee’s topic area. The staff liaison will collect and file committee records and minutes.

CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
The chairperson or committee designee will appear at a City Council meeting at least once per quarter year to report on the committee’s activities and projects and to provide updates to the Council and community. The City Council will provide input and direction at that time. Committee chairpersons or designated committee members are encouraged to appear before the Council whenever they feel it is necessary to obtain Council direction or share information.

3. CITY COUNCIL STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

3.1 Policy Purpose
The St. Helena City Council adopts this Code of Ethics and Conduct to assure that all elected and appointed officials, while exercising their office, conduct themselves in a manner that will instill public confidence and trust in the fair operation and integrity of St. Helena’s City government.

3.2 Ethics
The citizens and businesses of St. Helena are entitled to have fair, ethical and accountable local government. To this end, the public should have full confidence that their elected and appointed officials:
▪ Comply with both the letter and spirit of the laws and policies affecting the operations of government;
▪ Are independent, impartial and fair in their judgment and actions; ▪ Use their public office for the public good, not for personal gain; and ▪ Conduct public deliberations and processes openly, unless required by law to be confidential, in an atmosphere of respect and civility.

Therefore, members of the City Council, City Treasurer, and City Clerk and of all Boards, Committees and Commissions shall conduct themselves in accordance with the following ethical standards:
(a) Act in the Public Interest. Recognizing that stewardship of the public interest must be their primary concern, members will work for the common good of the people of St. Helena and not for any private or personal interest, and they will assure fair and equal treatment of all persons, claims and transactions coming before them.

Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 169 of 387 ends

32 (b) Comply with both the spirit and the letter of the Law and City Policy. Members shall comply with the laws of the nation, the State of California and the City of St. Helena in the performance of their public duties.
(c) Conduct of Members. The professional and personal conduct of members while exercising their office must be above reproach and avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Members shall refrain from abusive conduct, personal charges or verbal attacks upon the character or motives of other members of Council, Boards, Committees and Commissions, the Staff or public.
(d) Respect for Process. Members shall perform their duties in accordance with the processes and rules of order established by the City Council.
(e) Conduct at Public Meetings. Members shall prepare themselves for public issues, listen courteously and attentively to all public discussions before the body, and focus on the business at hand.
(f) Decisions Based on Merit. Members shall base their decisions on the merits and substance of the matter at hand, rather than on unrelated considerations. When making adjudicative decisions (those decisions where the member is called upon to determine and apply facts peculiar to an individual case), members shall maintain an open mind until the conclusion of the hearing on the matter and shall base their decisions on the facts presented at the hearing and the law.
(g) Communication. Members shall publicly disclose substantive information that is relevant to a matter under consideration by the body which they may have received from sources outside of the public decisionmaking process. (h) Conflict of Interest. In order to assure their independence and impartiality on behalf of the common good and compliance with conflict of interest laws, members shall use their best efforts to refrain from creating an appearance of impropriety in their actions and decisions. Members shall not use their official positions to influence government decisions in which they have (a) a material financial interest, (b) an organizational responsibility or personal relationship which may give the appearance of a conflict of interest, or (c) a strong personal bias.

A member who has a potential conflict of interest regarding a particular decision shall disclose the matter to the City Attorney and reasonably Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 170 of 387 ends

33 cooperate with the City Attorney to analyze the potential conflict. If advised by the City Attorney to seek advice from the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) or other appropriate state agency, a member shall not participate in a decision unless and until he or she has requested and received advice allowing the member to participate. A member shall diligently pursue obtaining such advice. The member shall provide the Mayor and the City Attorney a copy of any written request or advice, and conform his or her participation to the advice given. In providing assistance to members, the City Attorney represents the City and not individual members.

In accordance with the law, members shall disclose investments, interests in real property, sources of income, and gifts; and if they have a conflict of interest regarding a particular decision, shall not, once the conflict is ascertained, participate in the decision and shall not discuss or comment on the matter in any way to any person including other members unless otherwise permitted by law.
(i) Gifts and Favors. Members shall not take any special advantage of services or opportunities for personal gain, by virtue of their public office that is not available to the public in general. They shall refrain from accepting any gifts, favors or promises of future benefits which might compromise their independence of judgment or action or give the appearance of being compromised.
(j) Confidential Information. Members must maintain the confidentiality of all written materials and verbal information provided to members which is confidential or privileged. Members shall neither disclose confidential information without proper legal authorization, nor use such information to advance their personal, financial or other private interests.
(k) Use of Public Resources. Members shall not use public resources which are not available to the public in general (e.g., City Staff time, equipment, supplies or facilities) for private gain or for personal purposes not otherwise authorized by law.
(l) Representation of Private Interests. In keeping with their role as stewards of the public interest, members of Council shall not appear on behalf of the private interests of third parties before the Council or any Board, Committee, Commission or proceeding of the City, nor shall members of Boards, Committees and Commissions appear before their own bodies or before the Council on behalf of the private interests of third parties on matters related to the areas of service of their bodies.

Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 171 of 387 ends

34 (m) Advocacy. Members shall represent the official policies or positions of the City Council, Board, Committee or Commission to the best of their ability when designated as delegates for this purpose. When communicating in their individual capacity and presenting their individual opinions and positions on public policy matters which fall under the jurisdiction of the City of St. Helena, members shall explicitly state that the opinions or positions being expressed do not represent the City of St.

Helena or the body upon which they serve, nor will they allow the inference that they do. Councilmembers and Board, Committee and Commission members have the right to endorse candidates for all Council seats or other elected offices. It is inappropriate to mention or display endorsements during Council meetings, or Board, Committee and Commission meetings, or other official City meetings.
(n) Policy Role of Members. Members shall respect and adhere to the council-manager structure of St. Helena City government as outlined in the St. Helena City Code. In this structure, the City Council determines the policies of the City with the advice, information and analysis provided by City Staff, Boards, Committees and Commissions, and the public.

Except as provided by the City Code, members shall not interfere with the administrative functions of the City or the professional duties of City Staff; nor shall they impair the ability of Staff to implement Council policy decisions.
(o) Independence of Boards, Committees and Commissions.

Because of the value of the independent advice of Boards, Committees and Commissions to the public decision-making process, members of Council shall refrain from using their position to unduly influence the deliberations or outcomes of Board, Committee and Commission proceedings.
(p) Positive Work Place Environment. Members shall support the maintenance of a positive and constructive work place environment for City employees and for citizens and businesses dealing with the City.

Members shall recognize their special role in dealings with City employees to in no way create the perception of inappropriate direction to Staff. (q) AB 1234—Required Ethics Training
AB 1234 requires elected or appointed officials who are compensated for their service or reimbursed for their expenses to take two hours of training in ethics principles and laws every two years. Staff members listed on the conflict of interest code must also complete the training. It is the City’s policy to emphasize the importance of ethics in government and although not required, it is highly encouraged that all advisory body members, Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 172 of 387 ends

35 including Committees and Commissions, adhere to the same requirements.

The training must occur within two months of assuming office and be renewed within two months of the expiration of the current certificate. The training must cover general ethics principles relating to public service and ethics laws including:
• Laws relating to personal financial gain by public officials (including bribery and conflict of interest laws);
• Laws relating to office-holder perks, including gifts and travel restrictions, personal and political use of public resources, and prohibitions against gifts of public funds;
• Governmental transparency laws, including financial disclosure requirements and open government laws (the Brown Act and Public Records Act);
• Laws relating to fair processes, including fair contracting requirements, common law bias requirements, and due process.

3.3 Code of Ethics and Conduct
The Code of Ethics and Conduct are designed to describe the manner in which elected and appointed officials should treat one another, City Staff, constituents, and others they come into contact with while representing the City of St. Helena. (a) Elected and Appointed Officials’ Conduct with Each Other in Public Meetings
Elected and appointed officials are individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds, personalities, values, opinions, and goals. Despite this diversity, all have chosen to serve in public office in order to preserve and protect the present and the future of the community. In all cases, this common goal should be acknowledged even though individuals may not agree on every issue.

1. Honor the role of the chair in maintaining order
It is the responsibility of the chair to keep the comments of members on track during public meetings. Members should honor efforts by the chair to focus discussion on current agenda items. If there is disagreement about the agenda or the chair’s actions, those objections should be voiced politely and with reason, following procedures outlined in parliamentary procedure.

2. Practice civility and decorum in discussions and debate Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 173 of 387 ends

36 Difficult questions, tough challenges to a particular point of view, and criticism of ideas and information are legitimate elements of debate by a free democracy in action. Free debate does not require nor justify, however, public officials to make belligerent, personal, impertinent, slanderous, threatening, abusive, or disparaging comments.

3. Avoid personal comments that could offend other members If a member is personally offended by the remarks of another member, the offended member should make notes of the actual words used and call for a "point of personal privilege" that challenges the other member to justify or apologize for the language used. The chair will maintain control of this discussion.

4. Demonstrate effective problem-solving approaches
Members have a public stage and have the responsibility to show how individuals with disparate points of view can find common ground and seek a compromise that benefits the community as a whole.
(b) Elected and Appointed Officials’ Conduct with the Public in Public Meetings
Making the public feel welcome is an important part of the democratic process. No signs of partiality, prejudice or disrespect should be evident on the part of individual members toward an individual participating in a public forum. Every effort should be made to be fair and impartial in listening to public testimony.

1. Be welcoming to speakers and treat them with care and gentleness.
a. While questions of clarification may be asked, the
official’s primary role during public testimony is to listen.

2. Be fair and equitable in allocating public hearing time to individual speakers.
a. The chair will determine and announce limits on speakers at the start of the public hearing process.

3. Practice active listening
a. It is disconcerting to speakers to have members not look at them when they are speaking. It is fine to look down at documents or to make notes, but reading for a long
period of time or gazing around the room gives the
appearance of disinterest. Members shall try to be
Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 174 of 387 ends

37 conscious of facial expressions, and avoid those that could be interpreted as "smirking," disbelief, anger or boredom.

4. Maintain an open mind
a. Members of the public deserve an opportunity to
influence the thinking of elected and appointed officials.

5. Ask for clarification, but avoid debate and argument with the public
a. Only the chair – not individual members – can interrupt a speaker during a presentation. However, a member can
ask the chair for a point of order if the speaker is off the topic or exhibiting behavior or language the member finds disturbing.
(c) Elected and Appointed Officials’ Conduct with City Staff Governance of a City relies on the cooperative efforts of elected officials, who set policy, appointed officials who advise the elected, and City Staff who implement and administer the Council’s policies. Therefore, every effort should be made to be cooperative and show mutual respect for the contributions made by each individual for the good of the community.

1. Treat all Staff as professionals
a. Clear, honest communication that respects the abilities, experience, and dignity of each individual is expected.

Poor behavior towards Staff is not acceptable.

2. Do not disrupt City Staff from their jobs
a. Elected and appointed officials should not disrupt City Staff while they are in meetings, on the phone, or
engrossed in performing their job functions in order to have their individual needs met. Do not attend City Staff meetings unless requested by Staff – even if the elected or appointed official does not say anything, his or her presence implies support, shows partiality, may
intimidate Staff, and hampers Staff’s ability to do their job objectively.

3. Never publicly criticize an individual employee
a. Elected and appointed officials should never express concerns about the performance of a City employee in
public, to the employee directly, or to the employee’s
manager. Comments about Staff performance should
only be made to the City Manager through private
correspondence or conversation. Appointed officials
Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 175 of 387 ends

38 should make their comments regarding Staff to the City Manager or the Mayor.

4. Do not get involved in administrative functions
a. Elected and appointed officials acting in their individual capacity must not attempt to influence City Staff on the making of appointments, awarding of contracts, selecting of consultants, processing of development applications, or granting of City licenses and permits.

5. Do not solicit political support from Staff
a. Elected and appointed officials should not solicit any type of political support (financial contributions, display of posters or lawn signs, name on support list, etc.) from City Staff. City Staff may, as private citizens with
constitutional rights, support political candidates but all such activities must be done away from the workplace.

6. No Attorney-Client Relationship
a. Members shall not seek to establish an attorney-client relationship with the City Attorney, including his or her Staff and attorneys contracted to work on behalf of the City. The City Attorney represents the City and not
individual members. Members who consult with the City
Attorney cannot enjoy or establish an attorney-client
relationship with the attorney.
(d) Council Conduct with Boards, Committees and Commissions The City has established several Boards, Committees and Commissions as a means of gathering more community input. Citizens who serve on Boards, Committees and Commissions become more involved in government and serve as advisors to the City Council. They are a valuable resource to the City’s leadership and should be treated with appreciation and respect.

1. Respect Role of Liaison to City’s Boards,
Committees and Commissions
Several of the City’s Boards, Committees and Commissions have a Council Member who serves as its Council liaison. The City Council will collectively review and approve liaison appointments annually. Council Members serving as liaisons should act as an advisor and resource to
committee/board/commission members and the
committee/board/commission’s Staff liaison when issues
Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 176 of 387 ends

39 regarding process, procedure, attendance, interpersonal or public relations arise.

2. Respect that Boards, Committees and Commissions serve the community, not individual
Councilmembers
The City Council appoints individuals to serve on Boards, Committees and Commissions, and it is the responsibility of Boards, Committees and Commissions to follow policy
established by the Council. But Board, Committee and
Commission members do not report to individual
Councilmembers (whether or not they are serving as liaisons), nor should Councilmembers feel they have the power or right to threaten Board, Committee and Commission members with
removal if they disagree about an issue. Appointment and reappointment to a Board, Committee or Commission should be based on such criteria as expertise, ability to work with Staff and the public, and commitment to fulfilling official duties. A Board, Committee or Commission appointment should not be used as a political "reward."

3. Be respectful of diverse opinions
A primary role of Boards, Committees and Commissions is to represent many points of view in the community and to provide the Council with advice based on a full spectrum of concerns and perspectives. Councilmembers may have a closer working relationship with some individuals serving on Boards,
Committees and Commissions, but must be fair and respectful of all citizens serving on Boards, Committees and Commissions.

4. Keep political support away from public forums
Board, Committee and Commission members may offer political support to a Councilmember, but not in a public forum while conducting official duties. Conversely, Councilmembers
may support Board, Committee and Commission members
who are running for office, but not in an official forum in their capacity as a Councilmember.
(e) Elected and Appointed Officials’ Conduct With Each Other and the Public in Private Encounters

1. Continue Respectful Behavior in Private
The same level of respect and consideration of differing points of view that is deemed appropriate for public discussions, and set forth above in subsections (a) through (d), should be maintained in private conversations, including telephone calls, Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 177 of 387 ends

40 texts, e-mails or other forms of communication. Council Members and appointed officials shall refrain from abusive conduct, intimidation, bullying tactics, personal charges, or verbal attacks upon the character or motives of other members or the public.

2. Be Aware of the Insecurity (Non-Confidentiality) of Written Notes, Texts, Voicemail and E-mail
Technology allows words written or said without much
forethought to be distributed wide and far. Would you feel comfortable to have this note faxed to others? How would you feel if this voicemail message was played on a speakerphone in a full office? What would happen if this E-mail or text message were forwarded to others? Written notes, voicemail messages, texts and E-mail should be treated as potentially "public" communication.

3. Understand that Even Private Conversations can have Public Presence
Elected and appointed officials are always on display — their actions, demeanor, fitness, mannerisms, language and timing and form of communication are monitored by people around them that they may not know. Lunch table conversations will be eavesdropped upon, parking lot debates will be watched, latenight e-mails will be questioned and casual comments between individuals before and after public meetings noticed.

3.4 Enforcement and Sanctions
(a) Acknowledgement of Code of Ethics and Conduct
Upon assuming office each Councilmember, and each Board, Committee and Commission Member (“Member”), shall sign a statement affirming that he or she has been provided with and has read the Code of Ethics and Conduct. Each Councilmember, Board, Committee and Commission Member, shall adhere to the Code of Ethics and Conduct as well as the Council’s Rules of Procedure. Councilmembers who do not sign an acknowledgement that they have read and understand the Code of Ethics and Conduct shall be ineligible for intergovernmental assignments or Council subcommittees. Board, Committee and Commission members who do not sign an acknowledgement that they have read and understand the Code of Ethics and Conduct are not eligible to hold office. (b) Ethics Training for Local Officials
. Councilmembers, City Treasurer, City Clerk, Board, Committee, Commission Members and those listed on the conflict of interest code who Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 178 of 387 ends

41 are out of compliance with State or City mandated requirements for ethics training shall not represent the City on intergovernmental assignments or Council subcommittees and may be subject to sanctions.
(c) Behavior and Conduct
The St. Helena Code of Ethics and Conduct expresses standards of ethical conduct expected for members of the St. Helena City Council, Boards, Committees and Commissions. Each Member him or herself has the primary responsibility to assure that he or she understands and satisfies the ethical standards, so that the public can continue to have full confidence in the integrity of government. The chairs of Boards, Committees and Commissions and the Mayor and Council have the additional responsibility to intervene when actions of Members that appear to be in violation of the Code of Ethics and Conduct are brought to their attention. Without violating Brown Act serial meeting requirements, individual Members should point out to the offending Member perceived infractions of the Code of Ethics and Conduct.
(d) Council Authority
Under California law, the Council does not have the legal authority to remove Members elected or appointed to the City Council or to otherwise deprive them of their office. However, a majority of the Councilmembers may remove a Councilmember from any or all Council honorary and/or ceremonial positions and ad-hoc and standing committees, as well as from positions with other governmental agencies or other organizations they hold by virtue of appointment by the City Council. (e) Process to Address Alleged Violation of Code of Ethics and Conduct The Code of Ethics and Conduct addresses selective aspects of the governance of the City and supplements, but does not supplant other laws and rules that prescribe the legal responsibilities of City officials. Those include, among others, the California Constitution, various provisions of the California Government Code (including the Brown Act and the Political Reform Act) and Labor Code, federal laws prohibiting discrimination and harassment, and the provisions of the City’s own Municipal Code. It is expected that Members will manage their behavior in a manner consistent with the rules set forth above and behave within the bounds of their authority.

Members should be familiar with these laws to ensure that they exercise their responsibilities properly.

If, after receiving warning under 3.4(c), a Councilmember’s offenses continue, then the matter should be directed to the City Manager or the City Attorney.

Upon receipt of a complaint of a minor nature, the City Manager and the City Agenda Item #12.1.

Page 179 of 387 ends

42 Attorney shall together determine a course of action. Should they fail to resolve the complaint or should the complaint be of a serious nature, the City Manager and the City Attorney shall consult with the Mayor (unless the Mayor is the subject of the complaint, in which event they shall consult with the Vice Mayor or other Councilmember, in order of seniority, as is appropriate under the circumstances) in order to determine an appropriate course of action, including referral to the City Council.

The Mayor may administer counseling, verbal reprimands, and written warnings to Members of Boards, Committees and Commissions failing to comply with the Code of Ethics and Conduct. These lower levels of sanctions shall be kept private to the degree allowed by law. Copies of all written reprimands administered by the Mayor shall be distributed in memorandum format to the chair of the respective board or commission, the city clerk, the city attorney, the city manager, and the City Council. Written reprimands administered by the Mayor shall not be included in packets for public meetings and shall not be publicized except as required under the Public Records Act.

When deemed warranted, the Mayor or a majority of City Council may call for an investigation of a Member’s conduct. Should the City Manager or City Attorney believe an investigation is warranted, they shall confer with the City Council. The Council may ask the City Manager and the City Attorney to investigate the allegation and report the findings. The results of any such investigation shall be provided to the full City Council in the form of a Report to Council and shall be placed on the agenda of a noticed public meeting as “Information Only.” Any such report shall be made public and distributed in accordance with normal procedures.

It shall be the City Council’s responsibility to determine the next appropriate action. Any such action taken by City Council shall be conducted at a noticed public meeting. These actions include but are not limited to: discussing and counseling the Member on the violations; placing the matter on a future public hearing agenda to consider sanctions; forming a City Council ad hoc subcommittee to review the allegation, the investigation, and its findings, as well as recommend sanction options for City Council consideration.

The City Council, in its sole discretion, has the authority to enforce the Code of Ethics and Conduct against Members depending upon the extent and severity of the violation by means of either (i) a warning (ii) a written reprimand; (iii) censure; (iv) removal from assignments; or (v) other action as deemed appropriate to the City Council. Any form of discipline imposed by the City Council shall be determined by a majority vote of at least a quorum of the Council at a noticed public meeting and such action shall be preceded by a Report to Council with supporting documentation. Any Report to Council addressing alleged misconduct by a Member shall be routed through the Office of the City Attorney for review of whether any information is exempt Agenda Item #12.1.

43 from disclosure (subject to redaction) based on privacy interests authorized under the Public Records Act.

3.5 Implementation
The Code of Ethics and Conduct is intended to be self-enforcing and is an expression of the standards of conduct for members expected by the City. It therefore becomes most effective when members are thoroughly familiar with it and embrace its provisions.

For this reason, this document shall be included in the regular orientations for candidates for City Council, City Treasurer, City Clerk, applicants to Board, Committee and Commissions, and newly elected and appointed officials.

Members entering office shall sign the following statement (below) acknowledging they have read and understand the Code of Ethics and Conduct.

In addition, the Code of Ethics and Conduct shall be periodically reviewed by the City Council, Boards, Committees and Commissions, and updated it as necessary.

I affirm that I have read and understand the City of St. Helena Code of Ethics and Conduct for Elected and Appointed Officials.

BACKGROUND:

The City of St. Helena has undergone the fiscal year audit and issued its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The City publishes an annual report to fully disclose its financial information, as well as to comply with state and federal requirements and bond covenants.

The financial audit and the preparation of the financial statements takes place over several months, beginning just after the end of the fiscal year and continuing through the time the books are closed and the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is published. Staff coordinates with the auditor to ensure that the work is completed accurately and timely.

The City contracts for an annual independent audit of its financial statements. In January 2020 the City issued an RFP for professional auditing services upon expiration of the existing contract for auditing services. On April 28, 2020, the City signed a threeyear Professional Services Agreement with Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation to prepare the City’s annual audited financial statements through FY 2022 with an option to extend the contract for an additional two years.

On June 27, 2023 the City Council approved an extension to the contract for an additional two years. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report will be available on the City of St. Helena’s website on February 28, 2025 at the following link: Annual Comprehensive Financial Report | City of St Helena.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL

REPORTING
In addition to producing the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, it is the responsibility of the independent auditor to provide to the City of St. Helena a report on internal control over financial reporting and a report on compliance with other matters based on the audited financial statements. The Report on Internal Control and Other Matters identifies deficiencies in internal control that the auditor considers to be either material weaknesses and/or significant deficiencies. Additionally, the auditor performed tests of the City’s compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Agenda Item #13.1.

Page 186 of 387 ends

For the FY 2023-24 audit, the Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting disclosed that there were no instances of significant deficiency, material weakness or instances of noncompliance.

Agenda Report to the City Council
Agenda Section: NEW BUSINESS
Department: Finance
DATE: February 25, 2025
FROM: Mandy Kellogg, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 2nd Quarter Finance Report and Consideration of a Resolution Approving Mid-Year Budget Adjustments for FY 2024-25.

RECOMMENDED
ACTION:

Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

None.

STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:

To provide an update on FY 2024-25 budget performance
and request authorization for budget amendments related to revenue and expenditure adjustments based on current activity and projections through the end of the fiscal year.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total financial impact of the budget recommendations is $26,613, funded through General Fund Reserves. There is no impact on the Water Fund, as the additional budget request was offset by reducing the excess revenue
originally designated for transfer to the Water Capital Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Municipal Code Title 2, §2.24.030 states the Director of Finance shall deliver to the City Manager and to the Council at a regularly scheduled Council Meeting a budget report showing the budget status at the end of the preceding quarter. The Q2 Quarterly report is combined with the mid-year budget report/adjustments.

After conducting a review of the status of the City’s budget as of December 31, 2024, this report is presented to provide an overview of revenues and expenses at mid-year as they relate to various funds. The City has traditionally amended its budget during the year as new and updated information becomes available, or at various times during the year to appropriate funds for expenses that were not anticipated at the time the budget was adopted.

Staff has prepared the following for Council:

1. Second Quarter (Q2) staff report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25. This report is a summary of transactions from July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024.

2. Recommended Mid-Year Budget Adjustments.

3. FY 2024-25 Q2 List of Checks over $50,000 (Attachment 1).

Agenda Item #13.2.

Page 341 of 387 ends

4. FY 2024-25 Q2 Estimated Cash Balances at December 31, 2024 (Attachment 2).

5. FY 2024-25 Q2 Revenue and Expense Summaries - General, Water, and Wastewater Funds (Attachments 3-8).

DISCUSSION:

The intent of this report is to highlight the conclusions of the mid-year budget analysis.

The report is broken down into four different Fund Types - General, Water, Wastewater, and Other Funds. The Net Position Tables for the General Fund, Water Fund, and Wastewater Fund include recommended adjustments.

Information presented below reflects transactions posted through December 31, 2024.

Additional details for the General Fund, Water Fund, and Wastewater Fund are provided as Attachments 3-8.

GENERAL FUND
General Fund Revenues - 12/31/24 Balances and Recommended Budget Adjustments General Fund revenues received from July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 are $9,217,696 of the $18,708,046 adopted budget or 44%.

Comparatively, at the same time last year FY 2023-24 Q2, total General Fund revenues collected was $7,853,051 or 43%. Overall revenue collections are trending slightly lower than projections, which is primarily due to lower sales tax collections during the reporting period when compared to the prior fiscal year. General Fund revenues are divided into the following categories:

1. Property Tax

2. Sales Tax

3. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)

4. Other Taxes

5. Charges for Service

6. Fines and Forfeits

7. Licenses and Permits

8. Development Fees

9. Intergovernmental

10.Interest and Rents

11.Miscellaneous
The primary General Fund revenues include Property Tax, Sales Tax, and TOT.

Several revenue adjustments are being recommended due to the performance during the first half of the fiscal year predominately in property tax and sales tax collections. On October 1, 2024, Napa County released the property tax revenue estimates for Fiscal Year 2024-25. The estimates are approximately 3.3% higher than the original projections. In addition, the City received the Excess ERAF payment, which was 29.5% higher than budgeted. Overall, the updated property tax revenue estimated will yield an additional $269,499 in revenue.

Agenda Item #13.2.

Page 342 of 387 ends

Sales Tax receipts decreased by 17.4% in 3rd Quarter 2024 as compared to the same quarter last year, due to a decrease of $16,176,000 in taxable sales. The decline in performance caused Avenu to decrease the original revenue projections by 9.6%, which is a reduction of $545,847 in the projected sales tax revenue.

Sales tax projections in California are being revised downward due to macroeconomic uncertainties stemming from both political and sector-specific factors. Changes in administration at the state and federal levels introduce potential shifts in economic policies, regulatory frameworks, and funding allocations that may impact consumer confidence and business investment. Additionally, the transportation and construction sectors—both significant contributors to taxable sales—are experiencing fluctuations in activity. Delays or reductions in infrastructure spending, supply chain disruptions, and evolving market conditions in these industries contribute to softened revenue expectations. Given these uncertainties, a more conservative approach to sales tax forecasting is necessary to ensure fiscal prudence and budgetary stability. The graph below shows St. Helena sales tax performance compared to Napa Countywide and Statewide over the last three years.

During Q3 2024 St. Helena experienced an overall 11.6% decline in local business activity when compared to the same period in the prior year, with the declines in Food Agenda Item #13.2.

General Fund Expenses - 12/31/24 Balances and Recommended Budget Adjustments General Fund expenses through December 31, 2024 are $9,736,033. Spending is at 51% of the approved amount for the year. Spending for the previous year FY 2023-24 Q2 was at 48%. Attachment 4 provides a summary of expenditures by Department through FY 2024-25 Q2.

(4) Mid-Cycle Budget Update authorized $2.8 million is use of reserves.

Financial Policy P-FI-0016 approved by City Council on May 23, 2023 states that it is Council's directed target to maintain an unassigned fund balance of thirty percent (30%) of annual operating expenditures. The recommended mid-year adjustments maintain the directed target through Fiscal Year 2024-25.

WATER FUND - 12/31/24 Balances and Recommended Budget Adjustments Water Enterprise revenue received is $3,816,864 or 38% of the estimated total revenues for FY 2024-25 through December 31, 2024. Revenues are lower than anticipated due to the timing of the bi-monthly billing cycle as this amount does not include charges from November and December 2024. Attachment 5 provides details of Water Fund revenues.

As a result of the revenue shortfall realized in FY 2023-24 due to a decline in water use, staff is providing a comparison of the water use in Hundred Cubic Feet (HCF) from FY 2023-24 to FY 2024-25 in the table below.

Change 26% 10% 31% 24% -26% 4%
Overall, water usage is up 12.3% from the prior year. Staff will continue to monitor the water usage as it relates to the water revenues closely, but staff is not recommending adjusted the projected revenues at this time.

The negative amount recorded in 561-3870-00-00 CARES subsidy is due to the subsidy amount yet to be transferred from the General Fund.

Agenda Item #13.2.

Page 346 of 387 ends

Water expenditures through December 31, 2024, are $2,762,557. Overall Water Fund spending is at 36% of the adjusted amount for the year. The low percentage expended to date is a result of budgeted debt payments that have not yet been recorded in NonDepartmental. Attachment 6 provides a summary of spending by department for FY 2024-25 Q2 for the Water Fund.

While spending for the Water Fund is on track, staff is recommending the budget adjustments in Table 5 due to unforeseen high priority expenses.
