DISCUSSION
The City has cont

The contract with All City Management Services, Inc. was renewed and amended in 2005, 2008, 2014, 2018, and 2019. The Tracy Police Department has negotiated a three year contract with All City Management Services, Inc. to provide crossing guard services from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025.
On April 29, 2022
, the Tracy Police Department published a Request for Proposals on the City of Tracy website. Additional research was done to identify potential alternative vendors. Only two agencies providing crossing guard services to the Tracy area were identified: All City Management Services, Inc. and World Private Security, Inc. Both vendors were contacted and notified of the published Request for Proposals. On April 29, 2022, the City received proposals from both of these vendors.
All City
Management Services, Inc. was determined to be the most responsive to the City’s needs. Their service has consistently met the standards set by the City and their fees, although significantly higher this proposed term, have remained consistently less than other proposals and have kept pace with California minimum wage increases.
Under the Prof
essional Services Agreement, All City Management Services, Inc. will provide crossing guard services to 28 sites within the Jefferson Unified School District and Tracy Unified School District, 3.0 hours daily, for 180 school days annually. The contract provides for 20,160 hours annually. Due to split shifts, California Labor Law requires an extra hour of pay each working day. All City Management Services, Inc. will provide all recruitment, background clearance, hiring, training, equipment, payroll, supervision, and management of the crossing guard program. The program is $561,658 in the first year ($27.86 hourly wage), $585,043 ($29.02 hourly wage) for second year, and $585,043 ($29.02 hourly wage) for the third year of the contract.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF A GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $15,180 FROM THE CALIFORNIA ANIMAL WELFARE FUNDERS
COLLABORATIVE TO FUND EARLY SPAYING/NEUTERING OF DOGS AND CATS
AT THE CITY OF TRACY ANIMAL SHELTER
EXECUTI
VE SUMMARY
The City of Tr
acy Animal Shelter has been awarded a grant for $15,180 from the California Animal Welfare Funders Collaborative for funding early spaying/neutering for hard to place dogs and cats residing in the City of Tracy Animal Shelter. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the grant and authorize an appropriation of $15,180 to the Animal Services budget for FY 22/23.
DISCUSSI
ON
The City
of Tracy Animal Services Unit identified an opportunity and applied for a grant through the California Animal Welfare Funder Collaboration to help decrease the length of stay for certain hard to place dogs and cats. The grant provides for the funding of upfront spay and neuter costs to animals that are difficult to home. By providing early alteration, these pets will be able to go home the same day as their adoption versus having to wait any additional time for an alteration appointment.
From 2019
to 2021, Animal Services had a total of 238 cats under its care for over 30 days, with some up to 153 days. During this same time frame, Animal Services had a total of 61 dogs under its care for over 30 days, with some up to 194 days. The average length of stay for animals brought into the shelter is 11 days.
To reduce t
he amount of time animals are in the shelter, it is important to r emove any barriers in the adoption process . From 2021-2022, Animal Services adopted out 46% of dogs and 44% of cats. Due to adoptions being the most significant contribution to creating positive, live, outcomes for community pets in need, lessening their time in the animal shelter is of the utmost importance.
Accepti
ng this grant will facilitate the following goals and objectives:
Goals
• Reduce the
number of days a pet is in the shelter;
• Reduce the number of behavioral issues in the shelter due to length of stay; and • Reduce the number of pets that could be euthanized due to space or behavioral issues caused by the length of stay in the shelter.
Objecti
ves
• Issue a
press release announcing the kick-off of the grant if accepted; Agenda Item 1.G
June 24, 2022
• Partic
ipate and report data (as required) by California Animal Welfare Funders Collaborative; and
• Feature that adopted pets can go home the same day as adoption.

Re: Koefran- Sole Source Provider
The police department’s 5-year maintenance agreement with Koefran Industries, Inc. expires on June 30, 2022 and the department would like to enter into a new 5-year agreement with Koefran Industries, Inc. This agreement is scheduled for City Council on June 24, 2022.
Koefran Industries, Inc. has been the Tracy Police Department’s vendor since 1995 and currently supplies the department with a refrigerator and refrigerator maintenance necessary for storing animal carcasses. They are the only vendor that services Tracy and neighboring areas and provides the refrigerator, the maintenance, and the removal of animal carcasses.
Pursuant to Tracy Municipal Code 2.20.180(b)(2) the City Manager can approve of dispensing with the request for proposals because the services we require can only be performed by one source.

OLUTION APPROVING THE SUBMISSION OF A CLAIM TO THE SAN
JOAQUIN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS FOR TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,555,484 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE THE CLAIM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Tracy (City) receives funds from the T ransportation Development A ct (TDA) that allow the City to provide transportation services throughout the community. The annual claim
is necessary for the City to continue to receive TDA funding from the State through
the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG). The amount the City will claim for FY 2021-2022 from the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and the State Transit Assistance Fund (STA) is $5,555,484.
TDA funds are used for City TRACER operations and capital acquisitions, and pedestrian and bike paths. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the claim for TDA funds for FY 2021-2022 and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the claim.
DISCUSSION
Under the pro
visions of the Transportation Development Act (TDA), the City is required to make an annual claim for funds apportioned to the City under the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and the State Transit Assistance Fund (STA). This claim is made to the State through the San Joaquin Council of Governments.
TDA funds ar
e used to support the operations of the City’s TRACER bus system, streets and road maintenance, and pedestrian and bike paths. Money for this claim is primarily being used for operational expenses that are not covered by Federal grants, as a funding source for the purchase of new buses, to fund the completion of a Bikeways Master Plan, and to fund bikeways maintenance in various parts of Tracy.
The total cl
aim for LTF is $5,540,060 which includes $722,200 of unexpended carryover from the previous year’s claim. The total claim for STA is $15,424, which includes $4,000 of previous year’s unclaimed apportionment. The available TDA funding for FY 2021-22 for the City of Tracy to claim under the LTF and STA is $10,157,643. After subtracting out the previous year’s unexpended carryover of $722,200, a total of $4,833,284 will be disbursed to the City of Tracy. The remaining balance of $4,617,583 will be available to claim in future years.

AGENDA ITEM 1.J
REQUEST
ADOPT
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MTM TRANSIT, LLC TO INCREASE BASE WAGES: (1) $18.50/HOUR TO $21.00/HOUR FOR DRIVERS, (2) $19.00/HOUR TO $21.50 FOR DISPATCHERS, AND (3) $16.00/HOUR TO $18.00/HOUR FOR RESERVATIONISTS, AND INCREASING THE TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE FROM $10,917,793.01 TO $11,475,863.34
EXECUTI
VE SUMMARY
The City
of Tracy has a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with MTM Transit, LLC (MTM) to operate the Tracer Bus System, which began July 1, 2021. Since that time, it has become increasingly difficult for MTM to attract candidates for various positions, including that of bus drivers. Both the City and MTM wish to amend the PSA to increase the base wages in an effort to be more competitive in the market and attract candidates for the various open positions.
DISCUSS
ION
The City
of Tracy has a PSA with MTM to operate the Tracer Bus System, which went into effect on July 1, 2021. MTM has been the operating contractor for Tracer since August 2016. The current agreement expires on June 30, 2024, which has an option to extend the agreement.
Over
the course of this past year, MTM has experienced vacancies in a variety of positions including bus drivers, dispatchers, and reservationists. Filling these vacancies has become a challenge for MTM, particularly with the bus driver positions. This has led to issues in providing consistent service due to the low staffing available to cover the needed shifts. In addition to challenges recruiting employees, especially drivers, employees are also leaving for higher paying jobs in other areas. The current agreement lists base wages as $18.50/hour for drivers, $19/hour for dispatchers, and $16/hour for reservationists.
The area in
which the majority of MTM’s current employees live is within San Joaquin County and Stanislaus County. There are a few other transit agencies within this area that also compete for the same employee pool. As shown in the chart below listing various agencies within this area and their starting wage for drivers, Tracy (through MTM) is currently the lowest. Each of these agencies, with the exception of San Joaquin RTD, contract out their operations similar to Tracy. While some agencies already paid higher wages than Tracy, since the original approval of the PSA in July 2021, several agencies have either increased their wages or are in the process of doing so.
Transit Agency Position Starting Pay
City of Tracy Driver $18.50
City of Lodi Driver $19.99
City of Manteca Driver $19.50 (effective 7/1/22)
Agenda Item 1.J
June 24, 2022
San Joaquin RTD Metro Driver $19.85
Stanislaus Regional Transit Driver $20.50
City of Turlock Driver $21.00
In order
to be more competitive in the market, both MTM and the City desire to increase the base wages for the contract staff as follows: $21/hour for drivers, $21.50/hour for dispatchers, $18/hour for reservationists. The increase will allow MTM to be more competitive in their ability to recruit and retain staff.
The amendment
to the contract will increase the contract price by $243,380 for FY22/23, and a total of $558,071 for the remainder of the contract. The increase in costs will be funded through operating assistance grants from the Federal Transit Administration and the state’s Transportation Development Act.
STRATEG
IC PLAN
This agenda it
em is a routine operational item and does not relate to the Council’s Strategic Plans.
FISCAL
IMPACT
Funding to oper
ate the Tracer Bus System comes out of the Transit Fund and is paid through a combination of Federal and State grants, which are incorporated into the annual budget adopted by City Council. Any increases in cost will be included as part of the FY22/23 budget. There is currently funding available through Federal and State grants to fund the increase in costs.
RECOMM
ENDATION
Staff
recommends that City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with MTM Transit, LLC to increase base wages resulting in an increase of the total contract from $10,917,793.01 to $11,475,863.34.

REQUEST
ADOPT A RES
OLUTION APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH TRACY CITY CENTER ASSOCIATION TO COORDINATE AND HOST THE ANNUAL 4TH OF JULY PARADE WITH A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $10,000
EXECUTIVE SUMM
ARY
Historically, the Tracy Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) has partnered with the City of Tracy to host the annual 4th of July celebrations in Tracy. Due to several limitations, the Chamber informed the City it does not have the resources to continue hosting the 4th of July Parade for 2022 and beyond. Staff requests that City Council approve a Professional Ser
vices Agreement (PSA) with the Tracy City Center Association (TCCA) to host the upcoming parade in 2022.
DISCUSSION
Historically
, the Tracy Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) has partnered with the City to host the annual 4th of July celebrations. The events on the 4th have included hosting a Tracy Breakfast Lions Club Pancake Breakfast, Hot Air Balloon launch, Parade from Central to Lincoln Park, Day in the Park at Lincoln Park, and Fireworks show launched from the old Heinz plant in the evening. Due to several limitations, the Chamber informed the City it does not have the resources to continue with the Parade for 2022 and beyond. The Chamber intends to continue to partner with the City to host the hot air balloon launch and Lions Club Pancake Breakfast at Lincoln Park and 4th of July Fireworks.
As a result, Tr
acy City Center Association (TCCA) a non-profit public benefit California corporation that operates the Downtown Tracy Community Benefit District (“District”), has offered to host the 4th of July Parade (to begin at 10th and A St, ending at Front Street Plaza) within their District boundaries to preserve the tradition of this event. TCCA will host and organize this event in partnership with the City, taking on coordinating, staffing, cleaning, and other responsibilities. TCCA hopes this event will continue to be an important investment in the local community, and to provide social, economic, and artistic opportunities to local businesses and residents to celebrate and come together in the City.
This PSA form
alizes the services TCCA will be providing, including submitting applications, acquiring permits, maintaining insurance, and hosting/coordinating these events in a timely manner. The compensation for these services will not exceed $10,000.
City staff is amenable
to the negotiated terms included in the PSA and is able to fund support through existing operating budgets.
Agenda Item 1.K
June 24, 2022
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item
supports the City of Tracy’s Quality of Life Strategic Priority, and specifically implements the following goal:
Goal 3: Provide City
programming and events that bolster quality of life.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of th
is PSA will h ave a fiscal im pact to the General Fund which will be absorbed by department operating budgets. TCCA wi ll p ay the application fee for the event permit, and the cost of this agreement is not to exceed $10,000. Exhibit A to this report outlines the direct fun ding for these events. The hosting of Special Events in Downtown Tracy generates additional foot and v ehicle traffic that le ads to tax revenue for the City from Downtown Businesses.
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council adopt a resolution approving the professional services agreement between the
City of Tracy and Tracy City Center Association to coordinate and host the annual 4th of July parade with a not to exceed amount of $10,000.

AGENDA ITEM 1.L
REQUEST
ADOPT A RESOLUTION: 1) CALLING AND GIVING NOTICE TO HOLD A GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2022, FOR THE
ELECTION OF CERTAIN OFFICERS PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS CODE; 2) REQUESTING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY TO CONSOLIDATE THE CITY OF TRACY’S GENERAL

AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT OF COSTS FOR SUCH SERVICES, FOR THE
AMOUNT OF ACTUAL COSTS INCURRED
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Under California Elections Code 1301, a General Municipal Election must be held on an established election date unless
the relevant City Council has enacted an
ordinance requiring its
election to be held on one of the dates specified in such statute.
Any such an
ordinance becomes effective upon approval of the County Board of Supervisors.
In compliance with the
California Elections Code 1301, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.
470 establishing that the City of Tracy holds a regular General Election on every even
numbered year on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in each such even-numbered
year, This year, the proposed date for the City’s General Municipal Election is
Tuesday, November 8, 2022.
The City of
Tracy holds a General Municipal Election to fill a vacant and/or term expir
ed City
Council seat; or place any public or City Council generated measure/ initiative/referendum on
the ballot. The City Council will have three terms expiring at the
end of 2022
. The terms expiring are currently held by Council Member Arriola, Mayor Pro
Tem Vargas, and Mayor Young.
To effectuate the City’s General Municipal Election, the City Council must take several actions under the California
Elections Code. If adopted by the City Council, the
proposed resolution will
satisfy these requisite requirements.
DISCUSSION
As noted above, the City Council will have three seats whose terms will expire in 2022. The three Council seats whose terms are expiring are currently held by Council
Member Arriola, Mayor Pro Tem Vargas, and Mayor Young. Pursuant to Government Code 36503, the terms of these three Council Members will end on the date of the installation of the new Council Members, following adoption by the City Council of the official election results of the November 8, 2022 election. The anticipated date for the certification and installation will be a Council meeting in December 2022.
Agenda Item 1.L
June 24, 2022
Prior to conducting a General Municipal Election for these three seats with expiring terms, the City must take a number of actions before the California Elections Code.
One of the key actions is for City Council to adopt a resolution calling and giving notice to
hold a General Municipal Election in the City of Tracy on November 8, 2022. This election will be for the purpose of electing two Council Members to serve a four-year term and one Mayor for a two-year term. All of the terms will commence in December 2022 after the Council certifies the November 8th election results and installs the newly elected officers and will expire at the end of either 2024 or 2026, as the case may
be, after the then City Council has certified the respective election results and installed
the newly elected officers.
To reduce the costs of the election, pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10002, the Council can seek to request of the Board of Supervisors of San Joaquin County that
they consolidate the City’s General Municipal Election, of November 8, 2022, with the Statewide General Election that will be held by the County of San Joaquin (County). Further, pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10400, the Council can request the services of the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters (Registrar) for its election. The Registrar has provided an estimated cost of conducting the election for the City; however, many variables may change the amount of the
final invoice. Based on past practice, the County will provide a full accounting and invoice to the City by January 2023, and the City will need to reimburse the County for these services. The cost of these services is anticipated to be less than $200,000.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item is a routine operational item and does not relate to the Council’s Strategic Plans.
FISCAL IMPACT
All costs associated with the consolidated General Election have been included in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a Res olution: 1) Calling and giving notice to hold a General Municipal Election on Tuesday, Novemb er 8, 2022, for the election of certain office
rs pursuant to the California Elections Code; 2) Requesting the B oard of Superviso
rs of San Joaquin County to consolidate the City of Tracy’s Gener al Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election to be held on November 8, 2022; 3) Requesting the services of the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters; and 4) Authorizing the
payments of costs for such services, for the amount of actual costs incurred.

Agenda Item 3.A
June 24, 2022
Proposed FY 202
2/23 General Fund Annual Operating and Capital Budget
Shortly after the adoption of the FY 2021/22 Operating and Capital Budget, the City received the January-March 2021 Sales Tax (Bradley Burns State Sales Tax) disbursement from the State of California Department of Tax Franchise Administration (CDTFA), which resulted in a significant change in the City’s estimated revenues. The result was due to a recent change in tax reporting by a predominant sales tax producer.
This reporting change shifted the tax allocation from a statewide allocation through the County sales tax pool where the tax was distributed pro-rata throughout the State to a local sales tax allocation based upon the businesses’ point-of-sale or fulfillment of the sale. The change will have a significant and material impact on the City’s General Fund revenues; nearly doubling the current Sales Tax revenues for the City. The estimated revenues from the reporting change that resulted in a revenue growth of over $5 million a quarter. In FY 2020/21, the General Fund estimated Sales Tax is expected to have an additional $10 million over the estimated budget and in FY 2021/22, the General Fund estimated Sales Tax is expected to be $25 million over the adopted budget. With new ecommerce businesses expected to open in FY 2022/23, the Sales Tax forecast is expected to grow an additional $12M next year plus the economy growth of 5% for the next 2-3 years. Below is a table for the March 22, 2022 forecast that provided the financial framework to begin discussing new fiscal sustainability funding strategies that have been incorporated into the development of the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 budgets.
Budget and Fi
scal Sustainability Funding Planning
However, this revenue is not guaranteed as there is significant interest to have these dollars reallocated to other jurisdictions. Over the last year, the City Manager has been meeting regularly with the City Council’s Fiscal Sustainability Ad-Hoc Committee to discuss the City’s long-term fiscal planning. One of the items discussed regularly was the instability of the new Sales Tax revenues and the potential fiscal impacts should a loss of revenue occur. The Ad-Hoc Committee returned twice to the City Council to recommend funding policies that would help to ensure a fiscally sustainable budget.
On December 7, 2021, the Ad-Hoc Committee’s update to the City Council, proposed fiscal sustainability strategies that recommended utilization of the General Fund surplus.
This included $1M CalPERS (1% of GF revenues), $1M Retiree Medical (1% of revenues) $3M deferred Maintenance (3% of revenues) and $3M program increase (3%of revenues), for a total recommended $8M budget increase.
On March 22, 2022, the first draft of the General Fund Operating budget was reviewed by City Council. In the amended General Fund budget for FY 2021/22, revenue estimates were coming in $4M higher. Staff recommended increasing the deferred maintenance by $2M and pension/medical leave retirement pre-funding by $2M. City Council agreed and provided further direction for on-going funding for deferred
Agenda Item 3.A
June 24, 2022
maintenanc
e to include parks in the amount of $3M and $4M for road improvements beginning in FY 2023/24.
The City
Council also directed staff to continue evaluating the potential for a ballot measure that would modernize the City’s Business License tax. This item is returning to the City Council on July 5, 2022 for consideration. The impacts of this measure are not included in the proposed budget.
The Propos
ed FY 2022/23 General Budget reflects the City Council’s desire to expand City services while strengthening the City’s fiscal resiliency. The City Council dedicated almost $3.5 million in on-going City services and programs; funding 20 full-time positions in six departments. The additional staffing will address park planning and maintenance, street repair and maintenance, Police Animal and Dispatch Services, homeless services, and more. In addition, the FY 2022/23 General Fund budget will begin contributing $4 million to prefund to employee retirement benefit liabilities related to pension and medical leave balances. It is projected the City will achieve 85% funded status in the next five years. The City also increased capital deferred maintenance funding, setting aside almost $15 million for current and future deferred maintenance and capital improvement projects, such as road, building, and park improvement projects. It is estimated that the City could potentially set aside $120M in future Capital funding in addition to the $6M planned over the five-year period. Should the sales tax revenue drop off due to a revenue decline, these capital reserves could sustain the City’s deferred maintenance for another 20 years at a spending rate of $6M per year.
The following table provides the policy recommendation going forward. Staff recommends adoption of the City Council’s Fiscal Sustainability Funding Policy beginning Fiscal Year 2020-21.

Committed Fund Balances (GASB 54) for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022 In preparation for closing fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, staff reviews estimated fund balances and designates funds that have been committed for use in future periods. The fund balance policy requires that the City Council take formal action prior to the end of the fiscal year to commit fund balances of governmental funds (General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital, and Debt funds). This item requests Council to approve the committed fund balances for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. Upon Council approval, these funds will be appropriated to the next fiscal year in FY 2022/23, General Fund $736,937 and Other Governmental $1,450,867. Staff recommends adoption of the Committed Fund Balances for f iscal ye ar ending June 30, 2022. (See Attachment C for details)
Annual Adjustment to Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit)
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, informally known as the G ann Appropriations Lim
it, limits the total amount of appropriations in any fiscal year derived from the “proceeds of taxes.” The article further provides that appropriations from designated reserve funds are not appropriations from the proceeds of taxes. Additionally, appropriations from sources other than taxes are not controlled by the limit. The calculated appropriation limit for FY 2022/23 is $85.5 million. Based on the budget adopted on June 24, 2022, $83.2 million in appropriations are subject to the limit, and the City is currently $2.5 million below the limit. Staff recommends adoption of the Annual Adjustment to Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) pursuant to Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution establishing the limit for FY 2022/23.

Honorable Mayor City Council:
I am pleased to present the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 Annual Operating and Capital Budget to the City Council for consideration and adoption. The proposed operating budget reflects the City’s commitment to provide a high level of service to residents and businesses, while providing a foundation that builds on the City’s long-term financial sustainability initiatives. More important, the budget is a numerical representation of the Council’s goals and priorities and drives the City’s service delivery plan for the next fiscal year.
The goal of the City’s Annual Operating and Capital Budget is to provide a plan that allocates resources to the needs and desires of Tracy’s residents. It balances City revenues and costs with community priorities and requirements. In preparing the FY 2022/23 Budget, we reviewed the FY 2021/22 amended budget and estimated the expenditures and revenues anticipated for the upcoming year, FY 2022/23.
We held three budget workshops with the City Council and four meetings with the City Council’s Ad-Hoc Fiscal Sustainability Committee. Beginning December 7, 2 021, the Finance Departments presented a revised FY 2021/22 financial outlook for the City Council. With direction from the City Council’s Ad-Hoc Fiscal Sustainability Committee (Ad-Hoc), we returned on March 22, 2022 with various options for fiscal resiliency and operational efficiencies to be considered in the development of the FY 2022/23 budget.
Our focus during the development of the budget was how to best restore key services to the community following the two-year impact of the global pandemic and how to initiate new core services to meet current expectations and plan for future service level demands. From time to time, it is important to pause and evaluate current service delivery models to determine if they are timely, efficient, and, most importantly, effective. Service delivery is important because it helps provide the residents and businesses with amenities they want or need by linking them to programs and resources that provide those services. In an effort to be innovative, we must foster an organization that can respond to community needs, bring pioneering initiatives, and strives for greater success. The FY 2022/23 Budget reflects a realignment of some existing functions and an introduction of two new core departments to build organizational capacity, to be adaptive to community needs, and to meet the City Council’s Strategic Priorities.
Reorganization Benefits: From time to time, departments, sections, even whole organizations need to realign staff roles to account for shifts in skills, experience, and function. Restructuring can be a valuable and necessary step to refocus the organization's goals and objectives and usually involves

FY 2022/23 Budget Message
major changes for the organization in multiple departments and locations including procedures and processes. Theoretically, restructuring leads to a more efficient and modernized entity by strategizing on the opportunity to reposition the City for what it may look like going forward or in the future. These changes take time and constant reevaluation to ensure the goals and objectives of the reorganization are met. This will also make sure that value-added activities that were intended with the merged or shifted roles continue to enhance and expand City services.
The Op
erations and Utilities Department is a new department formed in FY 2022/23 through the merging of two departments, Public Works (now Operations) and Utilities. The merging of the departments is intended to better align resources and funding to more effectively respond to the operational and maintenance needs of the City’s infrastructure. The merger will improve collaboration and efficiencies, particularly with the on-going growth of the City’s residential and commercial development, the expansion of the Utility Treatment Plants, and extension of the supporting systems, including utility lines, roadways, and more. In addition, the City is committing over $150 million in capital funds to build several City amenities to enhance the quality of life and economic development within the City of Tracy. Tracy is anticipated to have a population of over 100,000 in the next few years and over 130,000 by 2030. This growth will put new demands on the infrastructure and the resources that support and maintain these assets. The City is choosing to reorganize in advance of these demands and realign staff roles to account for shifts in skills, experience, and functions that will be needed to meet these long-term pressures through effective partnership and timely communication between the two major divisions, Operations and Utilities.
Par
t of the merging of the departments is intended to reduce duplication and redundant activity. Some of these efficacies will occur through the merging of the administrative staff between departments. For example, the Operations and Utility Department will improve efficiencies through the shared use of one computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) to help manage assets, schedule maintenance, and track work orders. Through the software, the Operations and Utilities Department can optimize the utilization and availability of physical equipment like vehicles, machinery, communications, plant infrastructures and other assets, generate reports across maintenance categories such as asset availability, materials usage, labor and material costs, supplier assessments, create annual performance metrics, and more.
Oth
er benefits of a citywide reorganization are the resourceful alignment of tasks to add value to existing key programs or provide sprint capacity to respond to community demands. For example, the Electricians will now report to the Operation Division where their skills and function align better to the those performed in Building Maintenance. Other examples of the citywide reorganization include moving the Parks Maintenance and Landscape Architect into the Parks and Recreation Department where its functions better align with the goals and objectives of the Parks Planning Division and amenities goals of the City Council. These tasks are now reflected in the Parks and Recreation Department. Another alignment of functions was the shift of Utility Engineers to Development Services- Engineering Division to expand the resources and scope of this division and avoid redundancy of tasks.
New Co
re Services: In addition to the realignment of existing functions, the FY 2022/23 budget reflects the funding of new core services in the formation of two new City departments, the Innovation and Technology Department and Mobility (Transportation) and Housing Department. The Innovation and Technology Department is an expansion of the existing Information Technology Division from internal customers to include citywide service deliveries, such as broadband. The Innovation and Technology (IT) FY 2022/23 Budget Message
Department will develop the technology infrastructure and capabilities to provide a reliable, agile, and secure digital environment throughout the City of Tracy.
The
Mobility and Housing Department is a new core service provided in FY 2022/23 in the City of Tracy that plans, manages, and oversees the daily functions, operations, and activities of the City’s Mobility (Transportation) Services, including Airport and Transit, and Housing and Homeless Services, Economic Development Services. The City of Tracy, not unlike many other areas in California, has experienced an increase in the number of unsheltered or homeless individuals over the past several years. From 2017 to 2019, homelessness across San Joaquin County increased by 170%, and in Tracy, the homeless population grew from 90 unsheltered individuals in 2017 to 155 in 2019. To address the issues surrounding homelessness strategically, both regional and Tracy-specific strategic plans were drafted in the Fall 2019. The Tracy City Council’s Committee on Homelessness provided guidance to inform the development of Tracy's Strategic Plan to End and Prevent Homelessness. These strategies revolve around leveraging regional planning, policy development, affordable housing siting, transportation planning, rural planning, and affordability awareness to develop short- and long-term strategies to improve access to affordable housing and transportation. These strategies need to have innovative and long-term solutions, such as having a vibrant and thriving job force, a robust transportation system, as well as housing affordability strategies.
The
FY 2022/23 Annual Operating and Capital Budget reflects the City Councils desires to expand City services while strengthening our fiscal resiliency. The City Council dedicated almost $3.5 million in on- going City services and programs; funding 20 full-time positions in six departments. The additional staffing will address park planning and maintenance, street repair and maintenance, Police Animal and Dispatch Services, homeless services, and more. In addition, the FY 2022/23 General Fund budget will begin contributing $4 million to prefund to employee retirement benefit liabilities related to pension and medical leave balances. It is projected the City will achieve 85% funded status in the next five years.
In addition, the City increased capital deferred maintenance funding, setting aside almost $15 million for current and future deferred maintenance and capital improvement projects, such as road, building, and park improvement projects. It is estimated that the City could potentially set aside $120M in future Capital funding in addition to the $6M planned over the five-year period. Should this funding drop off due to a revenue decline, these capital reserves could sustain the City’s deferred maintenance for another 20 years at a spending rate of $6M.
The
FY 2022/23 Annual Operating and Capital Budget offers growth, innovation, and fiscal sustainability that will benefit the residents and community it serves. The budget will support enhanced services, new core programming, and policy initiatives that will strengthen the City’s position as a place to live, play, and work.

Sho
rtly after the adoption of the FY 2021/22 Operating and Capital Budget, the City received the January-March 2021 Sales Tax (Bradley Burns State Sales Tax) disbursement from the State of California Department of Tax Franchise Administration (CDTFA), which resulted in a significant change in the City’s estimated revenues. The result was due to a recent change in tax reporting by a predominant sales tax producer. This reporting change shifted the tax allocation from a statewide allocation through the General Fund

County sales tax pool where the tax was distributed pro-rata throughout the State to a local sales tax allocation based upon the businesses’ point-of-sale or fulfillment of the sale. The change will have a significant and material impact on the City’s General Fund revenues; nearly doubling the current Sales Tax revenues for the City. The estimated revenues from the reporting change that resulted in a revenue growth of over $5 million a quarter. In FY 2021/22, the General Fund estimated Sales Tax is expected to be $25 million over the adopted budget. With new e-commerce businesses expected to open in FY 2022/23, the Sales Tax forecast is expected to grow an additional $12M next year plus the economy growth of 5% for the next 2-3 years.
At th
e close of FY 2021/22, the City will have a projected uncommitted fund balance over $30 million.
During the December 7, 2021, the City Council approved the recommendations from City Council’s Fiscal Sustainability Ad-Hoc Committee to begin setting aside funding for pre-funding pension and retiree medical benefits, approximately $2M. Staff projects an additional $4M in revenues from Sales Tax and recommends increasing the pension/medical retirement benefit pre-funding to $4M annually. The forecast continues this trend for five years, setting aside $20M for staffing employee benefits and accelerating pension funding to mitigate future inflationary assumptions. The pre-funding drops off in FY 2027 when Sales Tax is projected to decline.
On D
ecember 7, 2021, Ad-Hoc Committee’s update to the City Council, proposed fiscal sustainability strategies were recommended towards utilization of the General Fund surplus. This included $1M CalPERS (1% of GF revenues), $1M Retiree Medical (1% of revenues) $3M deferred Maintenance (3% of revenues) and $3M program increase (3%of revenues), for a total recommended $8M budget increase.
On M
arch 22, 2022, the first draft of the General Fund Operating budget was reviewed by City Council.
In the amended General Fund budget for FY 2021/22, revenue estimates were coming in $4M higher.
Staff recommended increasing the deferred maintenance by $2M and pension/medical leave retirement pre-funding by $2M. City Council agreed and provided further direction for on-going funding for deferred maintenance to include parks in the amount of $3M and $4M for Road Improvements beginning in 2023/24.

NCIL PRIORITIES
The

and retailers to our community. Tracy strives to provide services that promote a safe community for our residents, businesses, and visitors, which remains a high priority to our City Council and City Administration. The financial plan reflects the desired operational outcomes of each City department as they relate to the City Council’s 2021-2023 Strategic Priorities:
• Eco
nomic Development
To enhance the competitiveness of the City while developing a strong and diverse economic base. • Public Safety
To enhance community safety by promoting a responsive public safety system that includes civic engagement and partnerships, community involvement, public education and prevention, intervention, and suppression services that meet the needs of our community, inclusive of businesses and residents. • Quality of Life
To provide an outstanding quality of life by enhancing the City’s amenities, business mix and services, and cultivating connections to promote a positive change and progress in our community. • Governance
To retain and attract new talent, enhance fiscal sustainability, improve the use of technology, and enhance transparency for the betterment of the Tracy community.
ECONOMIC INDICATORS
Des
pite national worries about economic uncertainty, inflation, and rising energy prices, Tracy continues to thrive with a rapidly growing economy and robust development activity. In 2021, the City of Tracy experienced unparalleled growth in residential and industrial development, fueled by housing demands and growth in e-commerce and logistics. For example, Prologis is completing its 800,000-square foot state of the art e-commerce facility called Big Bird. With Amazon as the tenant, the building reflects cutting edge supply chain technology, robotics, and design features. The City’s International Park of Commerce (IPC), an 1,800-acre master planned business park and regional cradle of economic activity, is more than half built out. As the largest asset in Prologis’ global portfolio and one of the largest business parks across the Country, it is home to Amazon, FedEx, Medline, Smuckers, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Zinus. New businesses added in 2021 include Ghirardelli and Home Depot. Also, in 2021, Prologis built a new office building. This 35,000 square foot building is the first office development in Tracy since 2004 and will be the first office building in Prologis’ global portfolio. Under development is a retail/hotel site adjacent to the IPC area that will generate additional tax dollars to support City services. At buildout, IPC is expected to support 30,000 jobs.
Tracy
’s economy is diverse with over 3,000 businesses. In addition to many supply chain and e- commerce businesses in its business parks, over half of the businesses are considered small businesses, which are the backbone of our community. The City of Tracy has been fortunate to experience a high number of new businesses since the beginning of the pandemic, which is reflective of our local entrepreneurial spirit and desire to invest in our community. As a result, Tracy’s employment reached a record level of 43,900 by April 2022, while unemployment rate is at a historic low of 3.1%, below that of the County and the State.
Tracy
has aspired to be a regional hub for retail, dining, and entertainment due to its strategic location between the Bay Area and the Central Valley, located at the confluence of three major highways. With FY 2022/23 Budget Message
the City’s population approaching 100,000, retail continues to be attracted to this activity hub with the highest incomes and per capita sales in San Joaquin County. A number of factors contribute to this success, as described below.
Dynam
ic Access: Tracy is centered in the triangle formed by three major interstate highways: I- 205, I-580 and I-5. The City’s smart planning resulted in the creation of freeway-oriented retail opportunities with access to customers in Tracy as well as other communities in the region. I-205 alone supports 152,000 annual average daily trips with expansion efforts in the works. Rapid po
pulation growth: Tracy has experienced significant residential growth over the past 20 years that has outpaced that of the Bay Area. As a result, Tracy has a growing population with increasingly disposable incomes. Tracy’s population has grown 70% over the last 20 years with the University of Pacific forecasting Tracy to add over 32,000 residents by 2040. Retailers frequently seek areas that forecast rapid population growth, as it translates into increased sales from the retailer attraction standpoint.
Dive
rse retail locations: Tracy has 4.6 million square feet of retail space. The space is scattered across the City with the largest cluster in the I-205 area and in downtown. The 750,000 square- foot West Valley Mall provides a variety of attractive shopping, dining, and entertainment options, including a 14-screen movie theater. Other retail options include the Tracy Pavilion, McKinley Village Shopping Center, Northgate Village, Red Maple Village and Gateway Plaza.
Additionally, new retail development is in the pipeline at the International Park of Commerce and in South Tracy along Tracy Boulevard.
Str
ong employment and income growth: Tracy has enjoyed strong employment increases and low unemployment rates since 2010 until the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. After a short-term drop in employment, the local economy started to recover in 2021. Based on projections from the University of Pacific, Tracy is forecasted to add over 11,000 jobs by 2040. Tracy’s median household incomes increased from about $62,800 in 2000 to $92,000 in 2020, a growth rate of 47%. This reflects improvement in the quality of jobs in Tracy as well as broader economic opportunities advancement in the region.
Wor
k from home transition: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a large share of the labor force shifted to working from home. Because a notable share of Tracy’s jobs is in government, health and education, a transition to remote working options has enhanced overall resident time spent in the City, increasing support for local retail. Pro-busine
ss environment: The City implemented the Retail Incentive Program, designed to encourage the private sector to invest in Tracy. It consists of a citywide retail incentive program, West Valley Mall revitalization program and hospitality, entertainment, and recreation program.
These programs provide a tiered sales tax rebate based on eligible sales, building and plan fee rebates, and direct financial assistance subject to Council discretion.
FIS
CAL CHALLENGES AND RECOVERY
Thi
s balanced budget is presented with optimism. The economy is recovering both in housing prices that bolster property tax and diversification in commercial and retail that grows and strengthens our sales FY 2022/23 Budget Message
tax revenue. That being said, the economy has natural growth and contractions that are outside of the City’s control. Even with solid financial planning and long-term forecasting, not all future outcomes cannot be predicted. Knowing that, the City has positioned itself well by building financial reserves, adopting strong fiscal policies, and passing important revenue measures to support City services.
However, even with these proactive steps, the City, like other agencies, will continue to be faced with unmet needs in an environment where resources are limited.
In F
Y 2021/22, the City received approximately $15 million dollars in Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to address challenges resulting from the pandemic and provide additional relief for residents. These funds have been allocated to provide funding for temporary emergency housing, assistance to downtown businesses, utility bill assistance for residents, and the reconstruction of Bessie Avenue.
An unfunded mandate is, for the most part, a statute or regulation that requires the City to perform or deliver services with no money allocated to fulfill the imposed requirement, such as Water and Organic Recycling. Although the state is required to suspend any mandate that is not funded during a given budget cycle, cities usually have little choice but to continue the activities associated with the unfunded mandates. In many cases, the program is already in operation when a mandate is suspended. In other cases, local compliance efforts must be maintained to meet public service expectations.
LOOKING FORWARD
The pr
oposed FY 2022/23 Annual Operating and Capital Budget reflects the Council’s vision for the community and the values that guide the Council’s policy decisions. We are fortunate that our City employees embody the principles hard work, customer service, and professionalism. It is through the organization’s strong work ethic and sense of pride that keeps the wheels of the City turning and maintains service levels to preserve Tracy’s high quality of life.
Tracy
's tradition of sound fiscal management has served the City well, especially through the global pandemic. FY 2022-2023 will be a turning point as we begin to focus on strategies that build on and maintain the City’s solid financial foundation, while advancing Measure V amenities forward. This effort will rely heavily on a continued partnership with the community to support key priorities and provide desired service levels.
The
proposed budget funds core services, implements Council priorities and allows us to plan for the future while maintaining General Fund reserves to weather future economic cycles. I am confident that we as a community will collectively position Tracy to capitalize on opportunities that will advance the City’s vision of strong and strategic economic development, enhanced public safety, outstanding quality of life, and good governance. Continued commitment to this strategy will ensure that the City can sustain critical community services and programs in the future.

ARTICLE XIIIB OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE CONSTITUTION
WHEREAS, In November 1979, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 4, which states that beginning July 1, 1980, all state and local government budget appropriations cannot exceed the amount resulting from a formula based upon the 1978- 79 budget, plus adjustments for cost of living and population changes, and specific exceptions (the “ Gann Appropriation Limit Initiative”); and
WHEREAS, Proposition 4 implemented the Gann Appropriation Limit Initiative through the addition of Article XIII B to the California Constitution; and WHEREAS, the State Legislature adopted Government Code Section 7900 to establish the process for calculating the state and local government appropriations limits under Article XIII B of the California Constitution, and Proposition 111, adopted in June 1990, provided new adjustment formulas (as modified, the “Gann Limit”);
WHEREAS, in accordance with these State laws, the City of Tracy has prepared documentation establishing the 2022- 23 appropriation limit, and has made the documentation used in the determination of the Gann Limit available to the public in the proposed 2022-2 3 budget more than fifteen (15) days before this resolution is being considered and adopted; and WHEREAS, The Finance Director of the City of Tracy has determined that the percentage change in per capita income and the city population is the preferred method of calculation in the cost-of-living adjustment; and
WHEREAS, The calculation results in a Gann Limit of $85,804,336; and WHEREAS, Prior to the adoption of this Resolution, the City Council has considered and adopted the
FY 2022/23 budget on June 24, 2022; and now, therefore, be it RESOLVED: That the City Council hereby establishes the Fiscal Year 2022/23 appropriations limit in the amount of $85,804,336 pursuant to Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution; and be it further

During the City Council meeting held on May 17, 2022, Council Member Arriola, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Vargas requested that an item be agendized regarding the display of the LGBTQ Pride flag for one weekend in October during LGBTQ History month and coinciding with National Coming Out Day.
DISCUSSI
ON
On June 18,
2019, the City Council adopted a policy, via Resolution No. 2019-138, outlining the City’s processes for displaying flags at City facilities, including ceremonial or commemorative flags (“Flag Policy”). Since its original adoption, the Council has amended the Flag Policy several times: October 15, 2019, via Resolution No. 2019-199, to address implementation issues; July 21, 2020, via Resolution No. 2020-132, to establish a maximum amount of time a flag can be displayed (31 days) and flag ceremonies, and on May 4, 2021, via Resolution 2021-052 to add language to provide protocols to acknowledge the passing of current or former City Council Members.
The Flag Policy (
Attachment A) seeks to balance Council’s desire to express the City’s official sentiments through the display of commemorative or ceremonial flags with the requirements under the First Amendment. To that end, the Flag Policy establishes that the City’s flagpoles are not a public forum and prohibits the display of a “commemorative or ceremonial flag based on a request from a third party, nor will the City use its flagpoles to sponsor the expression of a third party.” In addition, the Flag Policy requires the City Council approve the display of a commemorative or ceremonial flag via resolution with a four-fifths vote. Said approval would authorize the display of a commemorative or ceremonial flag on the flagpole outside of City Hall.
Council
Member Arriola, with support from Mayor Pro Tem Vargas requested that Council discuss displaying the LGBTQ Pride flag which is flown annually during the month of June, to also be flown during the weekend prior to National Coming Out Day on October 11th in honor of LGBTQ History Month which is celebrated in October. As stated in Section 2.3.3 of the Flag Policy, if the day of commemoration occurs on a weekend or City holiday, the flag will be posted on the last working day prior to the weekend or holiday and removed on the next normal City work day. Therefore, should Council approve the flag request and due to the City being closed on Friday on October 7, the flag would be raised on Thursday, October 6 and lowered on the morning of Monday, Agenda Item 3.B
June 24, 2022
October 10, 2022. Council could also request the flag to remain raised for National Coming Out Day on October 11, 2022.
FISCAL IM
PACT
The City is already in possession of a flag used for LGBTQ Pride month. Approval of this item would result in a small cost of staff time to raise and lower the flags. This personnel
expense can be absorbed in the existing Public Works Department’s operating
budget.
STRATEGIC
PLAN
This agenda item
is a routine operational item that does not relate to the Council’s Strategic Plans.
RECOMMENDA
TION
That City Council c
onsider authorizing, via resolution, the display of the LGBTQ Pride flag during the weekend of October 6th through 9th to commemorate LGBTQ History Month in October, 2022 and to coincide with National Coming Out Day on October 11, 2022.
