AGENDA ITEM NO. 16
AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
MEETING DATE:
June 20, 2023
CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Accept the Investment Report for the Quarter Ending March 31, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact; informational only.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Ensure Fiscal Solvency; Provide Good Governance.
BACKGROUND:
Each quarter it is necessary to produce an Investment Report showing how all City, Housing Authority, Successor Agency and Suisun-Solano Water Authority’s available cash is invested, in terms of the type of investment, what institution it is invested in, and current value and interest earnings.
STAFF REPORT:
The total cash and investments (per amount) equaled to $49,070,943 for the period ending March 31, 2023. In summary, the cash and investment portfolio consists of the following governmental funds:
SSWA 2019 Series Bond Proceeds
S 573,211
Energy Conservation Project- ENGIE
$ 376,089
Debt Service Reserves
$ 3,189,776
General Fund
$ 9,220,905
Trust/Fiduciary Funds
$11,593,397
All Other Funds
$24,117,565
Total
$49,070,943
In terms of return on our investment managed by PFM Asset Management LLC, the current yield to maturity at cost is 2.26% with an average life of 845 days. The average Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) return for the current quarter is 2.74%. For additional detail, please refer to the PFM Managed Account summary Statement attached to this staff report. As of March 31, 2023, the Par Value of investment managed by PFM Asset Management is $22,967,225.
According to PFM’s quarterly report, the U.S. economic conditions were characterized by: (1) lingering inflation that remains well above the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) long-term inflation target; (2) a labor market that may be showing the first signs of moderation; and (3) greater economic uncertainty following financial industry volatility and debt ceiling debates.
Recent market volatility has caused most fixed-income investors to experience significant unrealized losses. Unrealized gains or losses are the difference between the current market value of an investment and it’s carrying value on the books, usually measured by amortized cost (or under some accounting treatments, original purchase cost).
179
The recent surge in unrealized losses occurred primarily because interest rates rose sharply in 2022, noting that fixed-income security prices and therefore market values move inversely to interest rates.
Unrealized losses reflect market values at a point in time and will vary day-to-day. However, losses are only monetized, or “realized,” when a security is sold. If fixed-income investments are held to maturity, unrealized losses dissipate, and the full principal is returned at maturity. So, while unrealized losses reflect the value of each asset if it were sold at today’s prices, outside of a permanent impairment, unrealized losses could be thought of as temporary, if the intent is to hold to maturity.
As can be seen in the Pie Chart on the last page of the attached Investment Report, nearly 89% of the cash (other than cash in checking accounts) is invested in federally insured CD’s, US Treasuries, Agency Notes, Commercial Paper, Corporate Notes or LAIF, all of which generate modest yields.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council/Authority accept the Quarter Ending March 31, 2023, Financial Officer’s Investment Report.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 18
AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
MEETING DATE:
June 20, 2023
CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Conduct a Public Hearing, Approve Final Engineer’s Report, and Order the Levy and Collection of Assessments for Maintenance Assessment Districts:
a
.
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-__: Amending and/or Approving the Final Engineer’s Annual Levy Reports for the Suisun City Maintenance Assessment Districts for FY 2023-24; and b
.
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-__: Ordering the Levy and Collection of Assessments within the Suisun City Maintenance Assessment Districts for FY 2023-24.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed inflator for the annual levy assessments for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023- 24 is 1.43%. The inflator applies to all Landscaping & Lighting/Maintenance Assessment Districts (Districts) except for: Heritage Park, Montebello Vista, and Marina Village Dredging Districts. The annual inflator is provided to the City through the City’s consultant for the Districts, NBS. NBS subscribes to the Engineering News Record’s Construction Cost Index (CCI) which is where the annual CCI inflator is published each year.
This year’s inflator results in an increase to the affected District’s levy amounts, with the increase ranging between $0.00 and $65.33. The recommended FY 2023-24 assessments are provided in Summary Table of Recommended District Assessments for FY 2023-24 (Attachment 1). The landscaping of the Districts is an important component of the City’s overall landscape and lighting maintenance program. Together the Districts generate approximately just slightly over $1,500,000 annually in assessments (non-General Fund) that are used to maintain and improve the various District neighborhoods and District neighborhood parks that would otherwise be liabilities to the General Fund.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance.
BACKGROUND:
On May 23, 2023, the City Council initiated the process to approve and levy the FY 2023-24 assessments for the City, approve the Final Engineer’s Report for all Districts, and declare the Council’s intent to levy and collect assessments for all Districts. Further, the City Council set June 20, 2023, as the date to hold a Public Hearing for the purpose of determining the final action on the Engineer’s Reports and the proposed levy of assessments. This Public Hearing has been noticed in the newspaper as prescribed by law.
Annual Levy Procedures
The annual levy procedures are pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (commencing with Section 22500). The proceedings follow a three-step process, which occur on an annual basis for approval by the City Council.
STEP 1 (CONSENT)
is the adoption of a resolution initiating proceedings for the annual levy and collection of assessments and ordering the preparation and filing of the Engineer’s Report.
225
STEP 2 (CONSENT)
is the adoption of a resolution of intention which declares the intent to levy and collect assessments for the specified fiscal year. The resolution must:
Generally describe the existing improvements and any substantial changes; Refer to the assessment district by its distinctive designation and indicates the general location of the District;
Refer to the Engineer’s Report for full description of the proposed assessments; State if there is an increase from the previous year; and Set the time and place for a public hearing by the Council on the levy of the proposed assessment.
STEP 3
and final step is to hold the Public Hearing at the time and place specified in the notice of public hearing. During the Public Hearing all interested persons shall be afforded the opportunity to hear and be heard by the Council. The Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the Engineer’s Report. The Council may then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram (boundary map) and assessment, either as originally proposed or as amended.
Engineer’s Report: A report shall refer to the Assessment District by its distinctive designation, specify the fiscal year to which the report applies, and, with respect to that year, shall contain all of the following:
Plans and specifications for the improvements.
An estimate of the costs of the improvements.
A diagram (boundary map) for the assessment district.
An assessment of the estimated costs of the improvements.
If bonds or notes will be issued pursuant to Section 22662.5, an estimate of their principal amount.
Refer to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, beginning with Section 22500 for the full text:

The City Council serves as the legislative body governing the Districts with staff administering management of the Districts.
STAFF REPORT:
Each year, the City must follow the same process for levying of the District assessments.
During the months of March and April 2023, staff conducted annual meetings for Blossom, Heritage Park, Lawler Ranch, Peterson Ranch, and Victorian Harbors (A, B, C-D, E, and F). At these meeting staff discusses District funding, past year accomplishments, plans for the coming year, receives any resident concerns or requests for the coming year and new this year, provide updates on the current landscape schedule rotation with the in-house crew. The annual meetings have been held on a regular basis over the last fifteen plus years. Since COVID, meetings are being hosted via ZOOM. Postcards are mailed to all property owners within each District, information is posted on Nextdoor.com and the City’s webpage. Annual meetings are held at City Hall with each District between late February and April. The goal of holding the meetings each year is to facilitate greater communication between the attending residents from each District and City staff. However, meeting are often poorly attended with some Districts having no one show up from time to time. Note in reference to Step 3 in the 226
Background Section that holding the annual meeting for each District is not a statutory requirement as the Public Hearing is typically where resident express questions, including budget-related questions, concerns, and comments for the year relating to their respective District.
The planned implementation of the new ERP system includes a plan to provide specific financial information to the public regarding the LLD’s on the City’s website. This will support ongoing transparency efforts and allow interested residents to find financial information without having to contact the City first.
Due to on-going issues with the landscape contract, a decision was made by Administration to bring all District landscape maintenance services in-house to the City’s Public Works Maintenance Division.
LandCare was unable to provide the agreed upon contractual services at the price provided in their submitted response to the City’s RFP in 2019. As a result, many areas within the Districts suffered from a lack of regular routine landscaping maintenance services. January 1, 2022, (Fiscal Year 2021- 22) was the first year the City providing a 100% in-house crew for the maintenance within all Districts as of January 1, 2022. Personnel and equipment costs to support this endeavor is being borne by the Districts. There has been a steep learning curve for the new District-only crew as they work to learn the different areas and to understand the different tasks that need to be completed. In addition, it has been challenging to find new hires for the LLD-Only crew as well as to retain the employees once hired. This has resulted in the LLD-Only crew often working below the full crew capacity staffing level which impacts the crew’s ability to perform all scheduled maintenance tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible.
As stated above, we are now at the last step in the annual levy process which is to hold the Public Hearing for the Districts and for the Parking Assessment District. Tonight, through the two Public Hearings, Council determines whether to approve the final Engineer’s Reports, to approve the annual inflator, and orders the levy of the FY 2023-24 assessments. Council can review the proposed District assessments in the Summary of Proposed District Assessments Table (Attachment 1). Again, assessments for FY 2023-24 would be 1.43% higher than those for FY 2023-24 if the inflator is approved.
There are three Districts that were formed without annual inflators. Consequently, these Districts have suffered from on-going budget issues, with expenses exceeding revenues. These Districts are Montebello, Heritage Park, and Marina Village Dredging.
Three (3) Districts continue to warrant a specific update on their status as noted below.
Montebello Vista District (MBV)
There have been no significant changes in the MBV District. It continues to endure financial hardship, as the District does not generate sufficient revenue to meet the basic funding requirements needed to cover basic maintenance costs for the areas maintained by the District. With the increase in water rates the District’s financial health is no longer plateauing as in years past. Water reductions, along with service reductions, may be necessary to keep this District from running into the red. Staff time and budget over the next couple of fiscal years will be closely monitored over the next few fiscal years. This will ensure the staff time costs are being accurately reflected in the District Public Works Maintenance Staff Time charge as well as getting a better picture of water costs at the new rates and their impact on the budget. It is possible that service level reductions may be necessary at some point in the future.
The City of Suisun City is in the process of hiring a professional landscaping design company to prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates (PS&E) for revitalization Montebello Vista Park, paid 227
for by grant funds. Anticipated features for the park through the Montebello Vista Park Revitalization Project, which will ultimately be based exclusively on the final amount of funds received, include:
Conversion of the grass playing field into a synthetic turf playing surface including synthetic baseball infield. This baseball field will have no outfield fence.
A multi-use sport court designed for basketball, futsal, and pickle ball.
Addition of a toddler appropriate playground.
Shaded picnic pavilion.
The RPM Department will be reaching out to the Montebello community to discuss this project and are currently scheduled to host community meetings in the late summer/early fall of 2023.
Heritage Park
Like Montebello Vista, the Heritage Park (District) continues to have a static revenue stream which is insufficient to sustain a very basic level of landscape maintenance activities for the District. The lack of funding, under the City-wide landscape maintenance contract, had resulted in dramatic reductions in landscape maintenance, no litter pickup, and inability to address most irrigation system failures.
Now that the District’s maintenance is being handled by the LLD-Only crew, the District is starting to look a bit better with the in-house crew being able maintain additional areas that were not being maintained as part of the landscape contract. The start-up expenses associated with bringing the landscape maintenance in-house are greatly impacting the District’s already negative beginning balance.
Peterson Ranch
For the last few years, the Peterson Ranch District (District) had been teetering on the edge of financial soundness and has accumulated a negative beginning balance in large part due to the continued increase in the cost of the previous landscape contracts and necessary tree removals. This District has a large overall area of turf, native grass areas, trees, and heavily planted medians/planters, including the center median on Walters Road which is very expensive to water and maintain. The new in-house crew continues to make inroads in getting a handle on this large District’s maintenance needs.
Staff recommendation is that Council begin the Public Hearing process for the Districts and proceed with levying the FY23 assessments with this year’s inflator included in the assessments.
On May 23, 2023, the Council initiated the process and approved the Preliminary Engineer’s Reports for all Districts and declared the intent to levy and collect assessments for all Districts. Today, June 20, 2023, is a Public Hearing for determining the final action on the Engineer’s Reports and approving and ordering the levy of the assessments. The Public Hearing also provides the District property owners with the opportunity to address the Council with questions or concerns regarding their District. The Public Hearing has been noticed in the newspaper as prescribed by law.
Order the Levy of Assessment – Assessment Deadline
By law, the City Council must order the levy of assessments for the Districts. After the Public Hearing and approval of the attached resolutions, NBS will prepare the taped Assessor Parcel Assessment Report to be sent to the County in time for the Assessor’s August 10, 2023, deadline.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

b
.
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-___: Ordering the Levy and Collection of Assessments within the McCoy Creek Parking Benefit Assessment District for FY 2023-24.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed assessment would be collected for the City by the Solano County Auditor/Controller, via the secured property tax bills of the assessable parcels within the District boundary, to fund parking improvements and ongoing maintenance within the District. The maximum assessment will be subject to an annual inflation factor based on the Annual Construction Cost Index as published in the first issue of each April of the Engineering News Record magazine. This year the annual inflation factor is 1.43% increasing the maximum assessment for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 from $119.64 to $121.35.
This is a change of $1.71. The total District budget would be $8,785. This District provides services that benefit the properties assessed, and these services would otherwise be provided through the General Fund.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance.
BACKGROUND:
On May 23, 2023, the City Council initiated the process to: approve and levy the FY 2023-24 assessments for the McCoy Creek Parking Assessment District (PAD), to approve the Preliminary Engineer’s Report for the PAD and to declare the Council’s intent to levy and collect assessments for the PAD. Further, the City Council set June 20, 2023, as the date to hold a Public Hearing for the purpose of determining the final action on the Engineer’s Report and the proposed levy of assessments. This Public Hearing has been noticed in the newspaper as prescribed by law.
STAFF REPORT:
As a condition of approval for the McCoy Creek Development Project, the subdivision developer was required to create a Parking Assessment District to offset long-term maintenance costs associated with the on-street parking within public right-of-way and other maintenance. The City Council and the applicant agreed to the formation of a Parking Assessment District to offset the long-term maintenance of on-street parking for these purposes. The number of on- street parking spaces provided is 72.40. The Mixed-Use and Commercial Development portions are required to pay for the long-term maintenance of the on-street parking because those units are benefiting from the deviation to the City's off-street parking requirements and utilizing public right-of-way. The boundaries of the District are described as within the area bounded by McCoy Creek Way to the North, Gray Hawk Lane to the South, Crescent Elementary School to the East and Grizzly Island Road to the West.
261
The FY2023-24 annual inflator is 1.43% according to the April Engineering News Record’s Construction Cost Index (CCI). Please see the Engineer’s Report for a detail of the assessment.
Levy Process
On May 23, 2023, the Council initiated the process to approve the Preliminary Engineer’s Report for the PAD and declared the intent to levy and collect assessments for the PAD.
Today, June 20, 2023, is a Public Hearing for taking final action on the Engineer’s Report and ordering the levy of assessments. The Public Hearing also provides the PAD property owners the opportunity to address the Council with any questions and concerns they might have in their District.

CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Council Introduction and Waive Reading of Ordinance No. ___: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Suisun City Repealing and Replacing Chapter 12.12 (Park and Recreation Facilities) of Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places) of the Suisun City Municipal Code - (Public Hearing Continued from May 2, 2023).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Unknown at this time but will have a positive financial impact.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Develop Sustainable Economy, Provide Good Governance.
BACKGROUND:
In reviewing City Ordinance Chapter 12.12 there were several areas that were determined to be deficient and contained outdated language. Since the return of organized sports for both youth and adults, there is a growing presence of organized sports teams using Suisun City Parks.
Many of the organizations are not based in Suisun City, but from surrounding Cities. Those teams are doing damage to our field turf, taking up much needed parking, and using various facilities for bathroom needs of their players and spectators.
STAFF REPORT:
At this time, it is vitally important to update Chapter 12.12 of the City Code and to help regulate organized sports team uses by requiring all organizations and or teams to have a permit provided through the Recreation, Parks, and Marina Department. This permit would have a cost associated that will be established as part of the City of Suisun City Master Fee Schedule. The city will then have control of who is using it, when they can use it, where parking is permitted, and to make field users aware that many park locations do not have restroom facilities and they may not use other agency facilities in search of a restroom. This will also give the city the opportunity to rest and rotate use to other parks so that field turf is not overused, deteriorating the turf to the point of destruction and the need for major rehabilitation. The topic of utilizing a permit process for organized sports teams to use city parks was supported by the Recreation, Parks, Marina, and Arts Commission during their April 2023 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
Open the Public Hearing; and
Take Public Comment; and
Close the Public Hearing; and
Introduce and Waive Reading of Ordinance No. __: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Suisun City Repealing and Replacing Chapter 12.12 (Park and Recreation Facilities) of Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places) of the Suisun City Municipal Code

AGENDA ITEM NO. 21
AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
MEETING DATE:
June 20, 2023
CITY AGENDA ITEM:
Council Introduction and Waive Reading of Ordinance No. ___: Adopting the 2022 California Building Standards Code (Suisun City Municipal Code Title 15 Building and Construction).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Ensure Public Safety and Provide Good Governance.
BACKGROUND:
The building codes have now been republished as the 2022 edition. In the State process, certain model codes published by organizations such as the International Code Council, International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, National Fire Protection Association, etc., are reviewed and amended by the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC). The CBSC has completed this process and the body of codes known collectively as the 2022 California Building Standards Code (CBSC) has been published. It is appropriate, therefore, that the Suisun City Code be amended to update its references to the latest building and fire code editions. This is primarily a housekeeping measure to change titles and references in our City Code to correspond correctly to the new or revised sections in the CBSC.
As a courtesy, the Planning Commission held a public hearing at their May 16 meeting and recommended City Council adoption of the proposed ordinance by a 4-0 vote.
Environmental Determination
CEQA requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary “Projects.” A “Project,” under CEQA, is defined as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment” (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). The proposed Project is a project under CEQA. However, this Project is exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).
The approval of the code amendments set forth in the proposed ordinance does not approve any physical development project, and it would not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The proposed changes to Title 15 are necessary to maintain consistency with state law and ensure a safe built environment. Many of the standards are already being implemented by the City when reviewing construction projects and would not change how these projects are reviewed and approved.
For these reasons, the proposed amendments would not have the potential to result in individually or cumulatively significant effects on the environment and these LMC amendments are exempt from review under CEQA.
STAFF REPORT:
The Suisun City Code includes by reference the building codes and standards collectively known as the CBSC. This body of codes includes the building code, plumbing code, mechanical code, electrical code, fire code, and other supporting documents. Periodically the California Building Standards Commission publishes an updated edition of the CBSC. The 2022 Edition was published in July of 2022 and became effective in January 2023. The Suisun City Code will now be 307
updated to reference the newest editions of the various codes and make other needed administrative changes.
For better understanding, the proposed ordinance includes the entire Suisun City Code Chapter 15.04 including the unchanged sections. Highlights of the proposed ordinance include:
The changes in City Code Section 15.04.030 include the updated references to the newest documents within the 2022 CBSC. References to documents where no updated version is available have not been changed such as Section 15.04.030-F.
From time to time it is necessary for jurisdictions to make local code amendments that are specific to their jurisdiction. Amendments were made to the CBSC and California Residential Code (CRC) for the following:
a. The "within 1 year" addition now specifies a timeframe for the fire rating requirement when 50% or more of a roof is replaced, enhancing the clarity and enforceability of the municipal code.
b. A building size threshold was added for the requirement of fire sprinklers in new buildings. c. Standpipe requirements added based on the height of a structure.
An amendment to the Fire Code has been added to prohibit open burning.
The remaining changes to City Code are editorial in nature.
In order for local amendments to the CBSC to be enforceable, the City must make “findings” justifying the amendments based on local climatic, topographical or geological conditions. Such findings are included in the proposed ordinance for all of the local amendments that have been included historically where they are required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
Conduct a Public Hearing; and
Find the Ordinance exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (Common Sense Exemption); and Introduce and Waive Reading of Ordinance No. ___; Adopting the 2022 California Building Standards Code (Suisun City Municipal Code Title 15 Building and Construction)

FISCAL IMPACT:
The General Fund is balanced fiscally. To balance the General Fund budget, funds will be transferred from the Stabilization fund, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund, Measure S and Successor Agency asset management reimbursement fund (Fund 320).
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance, Section 4.1 – Review and update required planning and financial documents as needed. Ensure Fiscal Solvency.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has prepared the FY 2023-24 budget resolutions for Council’s adoption along with a detailed worksheet of the proposed budget. Due to the labor negotiations process, staff did not have adequate time to prepare the full budget document. It will be distributed to the Council and available to the public in July, 2023. Staff has attached the budget resolutions that support the Council’s action of approving the FY 2023-24 budget for the City, Agency, and Authority, as well as the budget worksheets that make up the funding for the budget.
The City is required by State law to annually adopt a balanced budget by June 30.
STAFF REPORT:
The FY 2023-24 budget that has been prepared and submitted for Council consideration reflects the updated priorities expressed by the Council regarding the personnel changes that have been tentatively approved during labor negotiations.
To facilitate review, the proposed budget itself provides all the detail behind the work program proposed for FY 2023-24, including revenue and expenditure trends by Fund, staffing levels, and Department/Division work plans and service level changes.
FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 BUDGET
This section of the report will address the budget balancing strategy for the FY 2023-24 General Fund, as well as selected other funds. This section of the report is organized as follows:
325
General Fund Resources
General Fund Use of Resources
General Fund Structural Analysis
Discussion of Other Funds
Budget Challenges
Suisun City has historically had a significant challenge generating sufficient revenues to maintain city operations in the General Fund. Due to the lack of significant retail shopping centers and the lack of major employment centers, per capita revenues for sales tax receipts and property tax receipts generally run about 1/3 of the average California city, putting Suisun City at a significant disadvantage. In addition, Suisun City does not have a utility users tax and has a very low business license tax, unlike our neighboring cities. The lackluster per capita revenues is why service levels, staffing levels, and salaries are below average compared to surrounding cities.
For the upcoming fiscal year, General fund Expenditures are projected to exceed general fund Revenues. As presented, the budget will be balanced by utilizing Measure S revenues, new and existing cannabis revenues, new development, and the Stabilization (Reserve) Fund. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) that was funding multiple personnel positions, premium pay, and a few major projects such as the Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) software system has limited ability to balance the General Fund because those one-time funds are almost entirely committed. ARPA expenditures and availability is identified in Attachment 2.
As proposed, the draft budget does not include any funding for the future dredging project and the General Fund expenditures exceed its revenues by approximately two million dollars. Unless Council identifies a way to reduce expenditures, the City will need to use the Stabilization (Reserve) Fund to cover the shortfall of $1,835,886. By doing so, the City will no longer be in compliance with the City Council adopted policy of keeping 20% of the operating budget as a reserve or emergency funding.
The Proposed Budget for FY 2023-24 is mostly status quo other than some significant personnel related changes. Personnel expenses are expected to be up significantly due to labor negotiations, salary adjustments and reclassifications, and increases in CalPERS and related incentives costs.
In May, 2023, the City Council approved the temporary ARPA premium pay to be converted to regular pay for all city employees. Public safety personnel received $6 per hour, Dispatch personnel received $4 per hour, and Miscellaneous personnel received $2 per hour as premium pay that was then (in May) built into base salary. Originally, the premium pay expense of $700,000 per year was funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund and it was not eligible as “wages” for retirement benefits calculation purposes. Now that the premium pay has become part of the regular pay, it will be retirement eligible and the CalPERS cost has increased by approximately $250,000. In addition, the incentive costs have increased by approximately $20,000. Moving into the next fiscal year, this change will impact the General Fund significantly.
The City's Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with all labor groups will expire on June 30, 2023.
The City has been in the negotiations process to renew these MOU agreements. Due to the significant salary differences in comparison with surrounding cities, the City is facing significant challenges in hiring and retaining personnel in the Police Department. Since, the City salary range is significantly below market, it is difficult to attract new hires. Lack of appropriate staffing is impacting City services and operations. To correct these challenges, the City Council is considering some significant changes, including salary adjustments to bring positions to 90% of the median rate, and reclassification of some positions that will impact the City's budget by approximately $1.2 million per year. 326
Personnel Changes: New Positions or Reclassification of Positions
1. Development Services Director (ARPA to Regular):
During FY 2021, the City recruited its Development Services Director position with the limited term of two years. This position is currently being funded through ARPA funds. The Development Services Director is a position that has normally been a General Fund position. Upon the vacancy of the position in 2019 by the previous Development Services Director, the City Manager absorbed the responsibilities until the current Development Services Director was hired in January 2022. The City Manager had taken on this responsibility from 2019 to 2022 for no additional pay, in order to save the City money.
However, due to successful economic development activities, development interest and activity had increased significantly by 2022 and the workload required hiring a Director to keep the development activity moving forward. Conversion of this position is critical to the City's operations and development. This position will impact the General Fund.
2. Administrative Assistant II (ARPA to Regular):
During FY 2021, the City recruited its Administrative Assistant II position with the limited term of two years. This position is currently being funded through the ARPA funds. This position had also previously been in the General Fund but was removed for salary savings. However, this position supports the Deputy City Clerk, the Mayor, and the City Manager and conversion of this position is critical to the City's operations and services. This position will impact the General Fund.
3. Associate Engineer (New):
This is a new position that is included in the Proposed Budget. This position is being funded through the Sewer Rehab Reserve Fund (Fund 188). Due to the significant workload and urgency of this project, this position is critical for the Public Works department. This position will not impact the General Fund.
4. Recreation Supervisor (New):
The City has received a Police Activities League grant for a significant project. Due to the increased responsibilities and duties, the Recreation, Parks, and Marina (RPM) department will require additional recreation supervisor position. This position will be funded through the Police Activities League grant (Fund 189). It does not have any fiscal impact on the General Fund.
5. Account Clerk III (Reclassification):
Due to the implementation of the new Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) system, the workload and complexity of this position has increased significantly. This position has been performing job functions that are considered Account Clerk III level. This position is reimbursed by SSWA and has no fiscal impact on the General Fund.
6. Administrative Assistant (Part-time to Full-time):
The Recreation, Parks and Marina (RPM) department is facing challenges with staffing and struggling to get to pre-COVID level with its various programs. The additional workload and lack of staffing makes this position work extra hours. Converting this position from part-time to full-time level will benefit the departmental operations tremendously.
General Fund and Measure S Fund Fiscal Analysis
The General Fund is the primary fund that is used by the City for daily operations. The main sources of revenues in the General Fund are property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, cannabis taxes, and charges for services. The Proposed Budget has $22,509,342 in total resources (including transfer ins and beginning balance) and $24,345,228 in total expenditures (including transfer outs) resulting in a General Fund shortfall or ending balance of $(1,835,886). Without any changes to expenditures, in 327
order to balance the budget, staff must transfer $1,835,886 from the Stabilization (Reserve) Fund (Fund 015).
Measure S is a 1% general transactions and use tax levied on gross receipts within the city of Suisun City, online, and on vehicles purchased anywhere in the state. Measure S was approved by the voters of Suisun City in 2016 and has a 10-year term. The Measure S Oversight Committee has the responsibility to review financial reports to ensure compliance with the legal use of the revenues. However, as a general tax it can be used for any legal purpose as determined by the City Council, meaning it is not restricted to any particular use.
The Proposed Budget for Measure S has $3,754,500 in total revenues and $3,754,500 in total expenditures. The Measure S Fund is transferring out $2.2M to the General Fund and $327,443 to Dispatch Support Services fund to cover 16 public safety positions totaling about $2,410,408. It is also currently proposed to fund $616,000 for Street Improvements, $215,000 for the SR12 Clean CA Grant match, and $225,000 for software agreement payments for the RIMS software used by the Police Department.
The following positions are funded through Measure S:
Police Officers (4)
Public Safety Dispatchers (3)
Code Enforcement Officer (1)
Fire Marshal (1)
Fire Division Chief (1)
Fire Captains (3)
Fire Engineers (3)
Computer Technician (1)
Revenue Loss Recovery Fund and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund Resources The City received a total of $7.1 million during FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 from ARPA. ARPA funded a few positions and many capital improvement projects. The proposed budget includes a fund balance of $3,095,391 for the ARPA fund and $1,121,436 fund balance for the Revenue Loss Recovery Fund.
The following projects are included in the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget:
American Rescue Plan ACT Fund:
ERP Project $300K
ERP Project Management $100K
Council Chamber Communication System $50K
Fire Station Bathroom Remodeling $350K
Hwy 12 Storm Drainpipe Line $376K
Kellogg Pump Station Channel $200K
Harbor Theater Improvements $200K
Community Garden Project $320K
Revenue Loss Recovery Fund:
Roads and Streets $591K
328
Fire Station Bathroom Remodeling $300K
Bulletproof windows for PD $45K
General Fund Resources
General Fund Resources are a combination of the Beginning Balance (which is a one-time resource), transfers from the Measure S Fund (F012), ARPA (Fund 167), and SA Asset Management fund (Fund 320) and ongoing revenues. The General Fund Resources assumptions include the following:
Beginning Balance
Carryover from the prior year of $1,582,738.
Revenues
Consistent with Council Budget Policies, revenues have been conservatively estimated, but not so conservative as to unnecessarily constrict the budget. Staff incorporated the following revenue assumptions in the budget concept:
The City Council has approved two cannabis dispensaries to be open within the City limits and there are two hotels that pay Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). The Proposed Budget includes $1,540,000 in combined revenue.
Property Taxes are projected to have 3-5% increase.
Measure S Sales and Use Tax is projected to have about 3-5% increase.
Building License and Permits revenue are projected at $400,000.
Overall, revenues (exclusive of the beginning balance) are expected to decrease by approximately $4.5M over the FY 2022-23 amended budget, primarily the result of no additional ARPA funding, and no roll over beginning balance of Measure S.
General Fund Use of Resources
The General Fund Use of Resources is a combination of the Operating Budget, the Non-Operating Budget, and the Ending Balance. The General Fund Use of Resources assumptions are presented below:
Operating Budget
Personnel Services costs have increased by $1M or 7% from the FY 2022-23 Amended Budget due to labor negotiations and some job reclassifications. Also, during May 2023, Council approved premium pay, which started as a temporary pay for a two-year term, to become regular pay. Due to this conversion, the General Fund budget increased by approximately $1M including benefits and incentives.
Overall, the Operating Budget would see a decrease of 4%, or $(1,087,989), mainly the transfer out to the Stabilization Fund. Since, the GF has a shortfall of $1,835,886, there will not be any funds available to put towards the emergency reserve. Perhaps, the Staff will have to transfer the final shortfall amount from the Stabilization Fund to balance the General Fund.
Emergency Reserve
The FY 2023-24 Budget has a carryover balance from prior years with the amount of $5,157,644.The City is using some reserve funds to balance the FY 2023-24 General Fund budget. The City has a policy to have 20% of the operating budget as Emergency Reserve. The 329
City will not be in compliance with this policy after utilizing some funds to balance the FY 2023- 24 Budget.
General Fund Structural Analysis
The structural analysis compares ongoing revenues against ongoing expenditures. The General Fund is not self-sustaining. It has a structural shortfall of nearly $4.3 million made up as follows:
$2.2M Measure S fund
$500k Fund 320 (Successor Agency)
$1.6M General Fund beginning balance
The City has been using Measure S and one-time monies to fill this structural shortfall. The City must continuously look for ways to find new ongoing revenues.
GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
In November 1979, California voters approved Proposition 111, “The Gann Initiative” which is incorporated in Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution. Proposition 111 limits the amount of tax revenue that State and local government agencies can appropriate. A jurisdiction’s annual appropriations limit is calculated based upon the level of appropriations in fiscal year 1978-79 and subsequent changes in the local population and cost of living.
A jurisdiction may choose between two population growth factors and two cost of living factors when calculating its appropriations limit. The choice offered regarding population growth is between the growth in city or county population. The California State Department of Finance (DOF) provided the 2023 population growth rates for the City of Suisun City and Solano County as -1.17% and -0.52%, respectively. The City used the City population growth factor, which was -1.17%. The choice offered for the annual cost of living factor is between the growth in California per capita income and the growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City. The City used the growth in California per capita income, which was 4.44%.
The City is required, by the State Constitution, to annually establish and adhere to a limit on the amount of its appropriations. The limit is prescribed by a State formula. For the fiscal year (FY) 2023/2024, staff has calculated that the appropriations limit is $21,196,139. Per the adopted budget, the City expects to collect, and has budgeted to appropriate, $14,114,054 of Proposition 111 covered revenue, $7,082,085 below the appropriations limit.
Analysis
FY 2023/2024 Allowed Appropriations Limit $ 21,196,139 FY 2023/2024 Appropriations Limit $ 14,114,054
Balance Over (Under) Available Limit $ (7,082,085)
MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
In September 2016, Council approved a comprehensive update to the City’s Master Fee Schedule based upon a User Fee Study prepared by Matrix Consulting Group (Matrix). The previous such study was conducted in 1986, and the previous fee adjustment was in 2012. The purpose of the User Fee Study was to identify the full direct and indirect costs associated with providing services to individuals or businesses in the City.
Best practices described in the User Fee Study called for periodic updates of two types:
330
Comprehensive Update
every five years to revisit the analytical structure, service levels estimates and assumptions of the previous study, and
Annual Adjustments
to the fee schedule based upon published economic factors, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and/or the City’s own labor cost increases.
The update to the Master Fee Schedule proposed by Staff is of the second type, a periodic update of existing fees. In this instance, staff is proposing to adjust many fees by a CPI factor of 4.9%.
Legal Parameters
Article XIII of the State Constitution (Proposition 13) provides that local governments may charge “costs reasonably borne” when providing services to individuals, developers, or businesses. These are the types of fees that are listed in the Master Fee Schedule. If the City sets the fee above the actual costs (direct and in -direct), then the difference would be a “tax” that must receive voter approval or not be imposed. If the City sets a fee below its full-cost recovery, then the taxpayers of the City are subsidizing the provision of those services that only benefit individuals, developers or businesses. Choosing whether to set fees at full-cost recovery rates is a policy decision that is left to the City Council to make.
In September 2018, Council updated fees to reflect actual City costs and economy-based cost adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index and the Construction Cost Index published by the Engineering News Review (ENR).
Fee Schedule Highlights
Attached to this report is the complete updated fee schedule. Below are summaries of the proposed changes by department:
Police Department
Fees charged by the Police Department fall under three primary categories:
Direct fees for service – A CPI factor rounded to the nearest dollar was applied resulting in small increases.
California Vehicle Code fines – There are no changes recommended at this time.
Suisun City Code violations – There are no changes recommended at this time.
Because most of the Police Department fees are set by statute, staff recommends Council provide staff authorization to update the Master Fee Schedule for fees that are determined by independent statute over which the City has no discretion between annual updates.
Fire Department
The Fire Department administers very few fee programs that are not described in City Code. Changes are proposed to the Fire Inspection Fees to recover direct and indirect costs.
Public Works Engineering
Five fees are listed under Public Works, as well as an hourly rate for services that do not neatly fit within one of the identified fees. All were adjusted by the 4.9% CPI factor rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
Recreation, Parks & Marina
Unlike fees charged in Departments, most charges in the Recreation, Parks and Marina Department are rental fees, not charges for services, and are essentially market-driven activities. Due to COVID-19 “Stay-at- Home” order, majority of the RPM programs and services were stopped in March 2020. Since 331
the City is starting these programs again, there are not any fee increases proposed for the RPM programs.
Building
In 2016, the City converted from a valuation to a square-footage calculation for building inspection fees supplemented by per unit charges for specific mechanical, plumbing and electrical applications, as well as common home improvement or basic remodeling activities.
In 2018, the number of permit categories was reduced by more than 50 by combining similar fee categories that required similar levels of work.
Miscellaneous Building schedule has adjusted by the CCCI of 9.3% annual rate of 2022.
Business License, Water, & Sewer
These schedules are provided to assist citizens and staff in locating these taxes and user fees. They are either established within the Suisun City Code or set by the Suisun Solano Water Authority or the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District. Water Connection Fees and Water Meter set fees have increased.
Miscellaneous
The fees on this schedule received an adjustment 4.9% CPI factor rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
Development Services
In 2018, all Development Services fees were adjusted to the full cost recovery level except for Planned Unit Development of less than 5 acres. According to the Development Impact Fee Study completed in 2016, the City may annually adjust these fees charged for new development by an established index reflecting the increase in construction costs. Fees for which adjustments were indicated were increased by the CPI of 4.9%
Discussion Options:
Staff would recommend the City Council discuss the below listed items to provide direction. These items were presented to the Council on June 6th and staff was advised to bring these options back on June 20th, along with alternative options for Council to consider.
1. Roads and Streets (Measure S/ARPA) $1.2M
The proposed budget includes a total of $1.2M from Measure S and Revenue Loss Recovery Fund which is part of ARPA funding. Measure S allocation is $616,000 and Revenue Loss Recovery fund allocation is $591,436. This $1.2M is for one road project to repave sections of Merganser and Wigeon Way. After looking and considering alternatives, Staff is proposing an option to purchase pot-hole patching equipment that will allow staff to do a better job of addressing potholes year round throughout the city, rather than just repair the sections of two roads. To accomplish the maintenance needs, staff will need to purchase the following equipment:
Infrared Asphalt Heaters & Patchers Skid Steer Attachment ($80K - $120K) Vibratory Plate Compactor ($5K)
Drag Box Attachment for Skid Steer ($10K)
Dump trucks with a Class “C” dump truck ($100K)
Trailer ($20K)
Sweeper Attachment to Skid Steer ($15K)
Asphalt Hot Box ($30K) (added this equipment since the May 30th Meeting) Contingency 10% ($30K)
332
The total cost comes to approximately $330,000 (including 10% contingency). If Council will consider this alternative, it will free up $870,000 that can be transferred to the General Fund to reduce the amount of Reserve needed to balance the FY 2023-24 Budget.
2. Fire Station Bathroom Remodeling (ARPA/Revenue Loss Recovery) $650K The proposed budget includes $650,000 from the ARPA and Revenue Loss Recovery Funds. In looking at possible reductions and in consultation with the Fire Department and others, Staff has modified the scope of this project. The following are the immediate repairs that are needed:
The project for the fire wall separation (fire code issue) includes framing, drywall (remove + replace), creating access to the “attic space” and some electrical. Estimated cost: $140,000.
The sewer line is starting to clog due to damage to the line. The last quote from Roto Rooter to replace was $10,000 in 2020, so staff is assuming an increase in cost to $15,000.
The total cost for these repairs is $155,000. If Council will consider this alternative, it will make $495,000 available to be used to balance the budget shortfall.
These projects are included in the Proposed Budget but the projects have not initiated yet. Considering that the General Fund is utilizing $1,835,886 from the Stabilization (Reserve) Fund to balance the budget, Council could consider moving forward with the above listed alternatives and only use $470,886 from reserves.
3. ARPA Reallocation
There is not much left, but there are some funds that could be reallocated from ARPA funds (see attached).
4. Senior Center
Council asked that staff come back with a discussion on costs for the Senior Center. Upon inspection by a roofing contractor, it was identified that the water intrusion was due to a drain problem and not a roof leak. Maintenance staff can clear the drains and make sure the overflow drains are operational. The damage to the floor and the ceiling tiles is estimated at less than $5,000.
There are a number of issues with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. This facility was included in the January 2021 ADA Transition Plan and 138 pages of issues were identified ranging from minor issues like wording on a sign or lack of signage to larger issues like fixtures not being properly located, and improper slopes on ramps and pathways among other issues. The consultant’s estimate to address these issues adds up to $132,322 to bring the center into compliance with ADA, but notes that the estimate does not include total construction, repair totals, or design fees. It should also be noted this estimate is now 2.5 years old.
Operationally, all senior programming has been at the Community Center since programs have recommenced after COVID and the March 2023 attendance total was the highest ever for senior programming. By operating at the Community Center, the program can operate with two part-time staff and can accommodate larger groups of seniors. Expenditures for senior programming at the Community Center is $140,000 with about $5,000 in annual program revenue from participant registrations in classes or trips, for a net program cost of approximately $135,000.
In order to move senior programming back to the Senior Center, it would require additional staffing of 1 full-time Senior Center Manager and 3 part-time staff to assist with programs and facility rentals. 333
Expenditures are estimated to be $315,000 and revenues are expected to be $30,000 ($5,000 from program registrations and $25,000 from rental revenue), for a net program cost of $285,000. In addition, maintenance costs for painting, equipment replacement, and general repairs will be an additional $10,000 to $25,000 annually.
Senior programming is much more efficient to run at the Community Center due to the existing staff that can assist. There is no need for a dedicated Senior Center Manager because management staff already is at the Community Center. The rooms are larger so more seniors can be accommodated for line dancing and other participatory programs. Dances have always been held at the Community Center due to the larger room size.
5. Budget Worksheets
The entire budget worksheets that are used to put together the budget are included for discussion.
Implementation
Supporting resolutions for Council action to formally adopt the FY 2023-24 Budget are included. Five resolutions are attached which, taken together, represent the formal actions needed to adopt the FY 2023-24 Annual Budget for the City, Agency, and Authority.

CITY AGENDA ITEM:
HEARING:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-___: Placing Liens for Unpaid Waste Collection Service Charges on Certain Lands Situated in the City of Suisun City, County of Solano, State of California.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Republic Services, Inc. is requesting that the City Council place liens on 240 delinquent solid waste accounts representing approximately $90,050.75 in uncollected solid waste collection service charges. The City’s General Fund will receive twenty dollars per lien and 1.0 percent of the total levy amount to be used as the recording fee and to offset the administrative costs associated with the lien and levy process. Through the lien and levy process, the City will collect on outstanding franchise fees totaling 13.0 percent of the uncollected solid waste service charges when the money actually is received.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance, Ensure Fiscal Solvency.
BACKGROUND:
Republic Services, Inc. provides solid waste collection service for properties located in the City of Suisun City. The Suisun City Code (SCC) Section 8.08.015 requires subscribers to pay the collection charge directly to Republic Services, Inc. In the event that a customer does not pay the collection charges, Republic Services, Inc. must prepare delinquent notices to notify each customer that the account is delinquent and could be subject to a lien/levy process whereby charges would be recorded against the property.
Republic Services, Inc. began actively pursuing collection of delinquent accounts in December 2001.
Republic Services, Inc. will request hearings three times per year in order for the Suisun City Council to consider enforcing the lien/levy process for delinquent waste charges
STAFF REPORT:
Republic Services, Inc. customers were compared with the owners of record to the parcel information database obtained from Solano County property records. Notification letters were mailed to all known property owners advising them of the lien and levy process. The letters informed the property owners that they could present their reasons for disputing the waste collection charges by either attending the hearing, or by sending letters to the Council prior to the hearing.
Republic Services, Inc. is asking that the City enforce SCC Section 8.08.170 by placing a special assessment/levying a lien on the properties that have delinquent charges. Republic Services, Inc. will verify accounts for payments prior to recording the special assessments.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1 .
Conduct a Hearing on the proposed liens; and
2 .
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-___: Placing Liens for Unpaid Waste Collection Service Charges on Certain Lands Situated in the City of Suisun City, County of Solano, State of California.
