TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Isarel Perez-Hernandez, Finance Director
DATE: February 01, 2022
SUBJECT: Receive and File the Second Quarter Financial Report ended December 31, 2021.
Recommendation:
Receive and file an update on the status of the current financial position for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Background:
The Government Finance Officers Association (G FOA), is an organization that was established to assist in the professional management of governments by developing and identifying financial policies and best practices through education, training, facilitation of member leadership, and networking.
GFOA released a publication on financial reporting best practices where it states that financial reportings should be issued at a minimum “quarterly…to ensure the ongoing completeness and accuracy of the data is correct. This process should include appropriate reconciliations to identify adjustments, as well as financial analysis of interim management reports to identify anomalous or incomplete data to be corrected. ” As such, in order for the information to be considered timely and useful by readers to make informed decisions.
To improve our financial transparency and accountability to all stakeholders, the Finance Department streamlined internal controls and processes that empower the Finance Department in delivering monthly and quarterly reports. As such, transitioning into an efficient and effective government.
Discussion:
The accompanying quarter financial report for 2021-22 (Attachment 1) provides a high- level overview of the City’s Financial Condition from July 01, 202 1, thru December 31, 2021. The report summarizes revenue and expenditure actuals. The report also includes a Capital Improvement Project update (Attachment 1) and highlights milestones from the
STAFF REPORT

second quarter. The report’s focus is on the General Fund; however, updated information is also provided for each of the City’s enterprise funds.
The reports in (Attachment A) is broken down into the following sections:
• Section A: Fund Balance
• Section B: General Fund Expense by Division
• Section C: General Fund Expenses by Category
• Section D: General Fund Revenues
• Section E: All Fund Expenses
• Section F: All Fund Revenues
• Section G: Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Summary • Section H: Cash and Investment Balance Summary
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW BY FUND THROUGH DECEMBER 2021
This report summarizes the City’s financial position for the fiscal year through December 31, 2021. Except as noted below, revenues and operating expenditures are generally on target based on past trends for the second quarter. We will provide the Council a detailed analysis of the City’s financial condition as part of the mid-year budget review.
The revenue projections and budgets have been updated to reflect adjustments for capital improvement program carryovers and any supplemental appropriations made by the Council as of December 31, 2021.
GENERAL FUND
Based on interim results, General Fund Revenues are at 21% of the projections, operating expenditures are at 42% and minimal capital expenditures have been incurred to date. The significant variance in revenues and capital expenditures is primarily due to the grant funded capital projects that have yet to commence. The most noteworthy capital project is the former farm labor complex demolition and site clean-up which is estimated at $9,300,000. The city will not proceed with this project until the related funding has been received. The remaining significant variance in operating expenditures is primarily due to staffing vacancies in the General Fund. The significant variances in revenues will be described in detail in the “Top Ten General Fund Revenues” section.
22 of 65
Top Ten General Fund Revenues
Our top ten revenues account for approximately 98% of total General Fund revenues.
By focusing on these, we can get an excellent understanding of our revenue position.
General and Motor Vehicle License Fee. The first major apportionment of 2021-22 taxes occurred in December 2021 and thus far collections are on target with our projections.
Sales Tax (General and Measure X). Based on year-to-date results, General and Measure X sales tax revenues appear to be performing slightly below estimates; however, the City has yet to receive the November and December monthly payments from State of California. We anticipate that our revenues will be on target once these payments are received.
Franchise Tax. Currently, the City collects from four companies: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Charter Communications, Southern California Gas (SoCal Gas) and American Refuse. We will not receive the largest components of our franchise fee revenues (Payments from PG&E and SoCal Gas) until April 2022.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). Visitors to Wasco who stay in the City’s hotels, motels and inns for a period of less than thirty consecutive calendar days pay TOT. Quarterly TOT payments are due within 30 days after the end of the quarter. Based on year-to- date results, TOT appears to be performing slightly below estimates; however, we have yet to receive any second quarter payments as of the date of this report. We anticipate that our revenues will be on target once these payments are received.
Grants. As noted above, the significant negative variance between budgeted and actual grant revenues is primarily due to the expected payment from the State of $9,300,000 to assist the City with the former farm labor complex demolition and site clean-up. Some portions of this project (and corresponding expenditures) may be covered directly through grant programs. When this occurs, both the revenue and expenditure amounts will be reduced and never hit the City’s books. (This also explains why year-to-date actual CIP expenditures are much lower than the budget.) The City will not proceed with this project until this payment is received. In addition, there are 23 of 65
several grant funded capital projects that were budgeted in the current fiscal year, but have yet to commence.
Charges for Services. This revenue is mainly comprised of fees for planning and engineering services and building permits. We will continue to monitor these revenues as they appear to be performing slightly below projections.
General Fund Expenditures
Expenditures are below estimates primary due to staffing vacancies and the timing of capital project expenditures as summarized below:
General Fund Transfers
General Fund Transfers In/Out are comprised of internal service charges and general operating transfers as summarized below:
24 of 65
Internal Service Charges. These are charges derived from allocating the General Fund’s administrative and support service costs to specific non-General Fund Departments.
The negative variance when compared to budgeted figures is primarily due to staffing vacancies in the General Fund.
Operating Transfers. These transfers are comprised of revenues from other funds that are used to offset staffing, equipment and CIP project costs. The negative variance when compared to budgeted figures is primarily due to the timing of capital project expenditures.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
In general, the major enterprise fund revenues are consistent with past trends.
Expenditures, however, are far below estimates primarily due to the timing of capital project expenditures.

Speaker: Michael Coleman, Fiscal Policy Advisor, California Society of Municipal Finance Officers and League of California Cities
Long-Range Financial Planning and Modeling
(T – Technical subject areas)
Does your agency want to be able to run funding scenarios during meetings with real time results and charts, projected out for future years (e.g., 10 years, 15 year, 20 years, etc.)? If the answer is yes, prepare your decision makers to make educated financial decisions by attending this presentation and learn how the City of Sacramento, Department of Utilities (DOU), has modernized long-range financial planning. In conjunction with Proposition 218 requirements, DOU has developed multiple funding scenarios for operations and capital improvement projects. Learn how to utilize a rate model software system to develop funding strategies for large capital projects that include a mix of utility rates, bonds, low-interest loans, and grants.
Attendees will see a demonstration of the rate model software system implementation/best practices with key lessons learned from concept to operationalized best practices, including base cash flow summaries, key metrics, alternative scenarios, and initiatives. The base cash 38 of 65
2 flow summaries reflect the beginning fund balances, revenues, expenditures, debt service, capital investments, and ending fund balances. The key metrics are targets configured into the system, updated in real time as alternative scenarios, and initiatives are toggled for “what- if” scenarios. These tools are proving to be a valuable resource for decision makers about long range financial planning initiatives.

Chuong (Ryan) Pham, Business Services Manager, City of Sacramento, Department of Utilities
Tyler Stratton, Capital Finance and Grants Manager, City of Sacramento, Department of Utilities
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are Action Words
(N – Non-technical subject areas)
The public sector workforce demographics look much like the overall workforce demographics in terms of gender, race, and ethnicity. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is about more than statistics and mandatory training. It is about understanding and acknowledging that a healthy and productive organization needs to value the wide variety of social and cultural characteristics of its employees, provide the same compensation and opportunities for advancement, and create an environment that accepts and respects these differences. DEI programs cannot be passive statements and initiatives that rely on individuals to change on their own. Successful organizations provide resources, time, energy, and funding for practices that actively change the agency culture to one of inclusivity, recognition, and respect.

Show Me More Money – Optimizing Revenues in a Post COVID-19 World (T – Technical subject areas)
COVID-19 has been the most impactful singular event of this generation. While we are all anxious to be able to permanently shed our masks, the pandemic highlighted the need for government agencies to spend more on public health, safety, and preparedness. The costs of those services will need to be offset by growing revenues. While federal and state aid has been helpful, local governments can’t rely on that help forever. Incorporating these additional costs and impacts on other revenue sources into your budgets and long-term financial forecasts is the first step. Finding and growing revenues to offset these costs is the next.
Public agencies have been facing more uncertainty than ever in the last 2 years. With additional demands on local governments to provide new and enhanced services to their constituents, growing revenues in the face of a strained retail environment will be more important than ever. In this session, we will take a deeper look at several areas in which government finance officers can positively impact their agencies revenues. Updating cost 39 of 65
3 recovery and fee studies, taking a more active role in investing your idle cash, and uncovering some revenues that may be hidden within your agency’s municipal code are all examples of revenue generating activities where finance officers can take the lead.

optional duration (interest rate risk) for the portfolio, important tasks you should accomplish to ensure asset/liability matching, determining whether credit is worth the risk, what impact should Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 31 have on your investment decisions, how to “tell the story” of the investment program to the various stakeholders, why generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are an important part of reporting, and various ways to benchmark performance to check your score against the market.
Speakers: Kent Morris, Chief Investment Officer, City of San Diego Rick Phillips, President, FHN Main Street Advisors
GASB Update – Implementation Is Coming
(A – Accounting & Auditing, G – Government)

4 Priority Based Budgeting: Aligning Resources with Strategic Results (T – Technical subject areas)
Challenges facing local governments today literally require a new way to see. It’s as if our vision has been blurred by the extraordinary stress of managing in this complex economic environment. Whether attempting to rebuild in a post-recession climate, persevering through another year of stagnating or declining revenues, or managing through a pandemic, the challenge remains: how to allocate scarce resources to achieve our community’s highest priorities. While serving as a local government practitioner, Jon Johnson co-developed the process and tools needed to successfully implement Priority Based Budgeting. The process was developed in a local government environment and designed to meet the needs that are uniquely specific to municipal agencies. He co-created this process to address the belief that there needed to be a methodology that would successfully link the stated strategic priorities that an organization strives to accomplish with the way resource allocation decisions are made through the budget process.
Speaker: Jon Johnson, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Alliance for Innovation Effective Project Management
(T – Technical subject areas)
While it may seem like project management is the domain of the engineering staff, the fact is that finance officers are responsible for developing and executing projects all the time, including new financial management systems, audits, annual report preparation, and the budget process. It may be cliché, but it’s true: failing to plan is planning to fail. When projects go badly, it is almost always due to one of two factors (or a “perfect storm” combination of both): poor planning or poor implementation of the plan. This session will provide practical, real-world tips on how to better manage projects through more effective planning and follow- up execution of the plan.

Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid When Leading an ERP System Implementation (T – Technical subject areas)
They cost millions of dollars, are famous for schedule and budget overruns, and sometimes threaten careers. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system projects put finance officers in a leadership position – accountable to the senior executive and the elected body – while still dependent on IT, Human Resources (HR), and unfamiliar consultants to deliver such a visible project. Hear firsthand from an agency that has recently walked this path how a path to success can be charted to overcome what can seem overwhelming in an ERP implementation, with plenty of time for your questions.

6 Rising Cyber Risks Pose Increased Credit Challenges for State and Local Governments (T – Technical subject areas)
The recent high profile cyberattacks point to the evolving nature of municipal cyber risk. As the frequency of cyber-attacks on state and local governments continues to rise, the cost and impacts of cyber events could have a meaningful impact on municipal entities. In addition, technology investment and insurance costs are expected to play a larger role within a municipality’s budgetary practices. The costs of successful cyber incidents have also been steadily increasing as the cyber risk landscape has continued to evolve. This trend emphasizes that cyber events could pose meaningful financial risks that could have an effect on municipal credit quality. Our panel of experts will explore the tangible and intangible costs of cyber breaches and the impact of cyber risk mitigation on overall credit quality.

20 Characteristics of Great Teams – and How You Can Make a Difference By Being a Successful Communicator
(N – Non-technical subject areas)
Can you impact the success of your team? Sure you can! All you need to know are the 20 characteristics and traits that will be presented in this action-packed session. Teams don’t become successful on their own – it takes time, work, dedication, and lots of open and honest communication. The root cause of most organizational issues and problems is poor, unclear communication. The communication skills presented can be used every day on the job and at home.
Great teams start with having a clear vision, mission, and goals, and wrap up with thanking everyone for their efforts, and looking to the future and asking how the team can do better.
Successful teams produce solid results while realizing the team must be open to new ideas from all sources. Continuous improvement is valued as team members teach, learn, and mentor one another. Once you delve into these characteristics, you will realize how you can 44 of 65

Speaker: Neil Kupchin, Management & Training Consultant Advanced Tools for Managing Pension Costs and UAL
(T – Technical subject areas)
CalPERS pension costs for local government employers present a challenge to even the most skilled and disciplined financial professionals. The topic is complex, with an array of terms, gray-areas, and differing viewpoints on the best strategic approach. What may work well for one employer may be entirely wrong for another, based on their plans’ particular demographics or economic circumstances. In this session, a CalPERS actuary will dive into the deeper waters of pension cost management and strategy. The goal is to equip employers with the technical acumen and tools they need to make the best decision for their particular agency, members and plans. Special attention will be given to two tools CalPERS has developed to help agencies make the most informed decisions possible:
• Pension Outlook tool, which models rates based on variable discount rates, investment returns, and Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) membership, and • Managing Employer Contributions, a customized spreadsheet that incorporates all of your plans’ actuarial bases and options like early pay-offs, additional discretionary payments (ADPs), and “soft fresh starts.”
This will be a highly valuable session for those who have already built a firm foundation and understanding of pension costs, and are now focused on positioning their agencies to best manage those costs.

Technology Master Planning – Maximize Your Tech Investments (T – Technical subject areas)
This session is designed to outline how you can maximize your technology investments agency-wide through the development of a comprehensive Technology Master Plan, not just strategies. Learn the answers to these and many more questions:
45 of 65
9 • How to measure the quality and service IT provides to departments. • What are the cost-benefits or return on investment (ROI) from technology projects? • What are the key factors that determine the right IT size for an agency? • How to best prioritize technology projects.

• IT governance model to create a living Technology Master Plan Speakers: Janelle Rau, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, County of Mendocino David Krout, Managing Partner-Management Consulting Practice Leader, ClientFirst Consulting Group LLC
How to Handle Buyer’s Remorse as Interest Rates Rise
(T – Technical subject areas)
If you’re having rate hike déjà vu, that familiar feeling is from 2013, when interest rates were historically low and the Fed began to unwind its accommodative measures. When that happens, interest rates rise and bond prices fall, negatively impacting market values, and it’s common for public agency investors and their stakeholders to second guess investments purchased during the lower yielding environment. For public agency staff internally, market value fluctuations can also raise questions around spending and annual reporting. During this session, we’ll revisit how the Fed unwound its policies after the last financial crisis – lessons you can reference with your team and stakeholders – and what similarities or differences we may see this time. What did investors do last time that paid off in the long run? We’ll offer practical takeaways for communicating with your council or board and what you can expect when preparing your annual reports during a rising interest rate environment.

A 360 View of OPEB Trusts and Why They Work
(T – Technical subject areas)
This session will discuss how funding an other postemployment benefits (OPEB) trust can help your agency’s balance sheet and where to begin. We’ll explore how to fund your OPEB, the flexibility allowed when investing your OPEB trust, and the financial reporting impacts.
Our panel will review how to establish a funding plan, highlighting investment strategies allowed by the California Government Code for longer term liabilities, and when to consider drawing from the trust. Our discussion will consider how Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) rules now require OPEB to be upfront in your financials. We’ll also address key questions we see come up as agencies consider an OPEB trust:
• How will funding your OPEB change rating agency perceptions? • How about perceptions of general governance?
• How can you manage your investment and funding strategies and communicate with stakeholders during volatile markets?
Join us as our panelists provide insight from their varying perspectives.

Topics will include efforts to implement the “Human Right to Water,” including the increased demand for low income rate assistance with subsidized water rates and the corresponding Proposition 218 compliance issues. We will also have a look at how utilities have been affected by SB 998 and shutoff mandates, and how other future legislation might financially impact utilities, including human right to water, water quality, conservation, illegal pot farms water usage, and cleanup of “forever” chemicals.
We will also address concerns for wastewater utilities, such as reduced water usage affecting water quality and recycled water production. In addition, we will look at issues affecting solid waste utilities, such as the impending implementation of SB 1383, which addresses organic waste in the future. We will also explore the innovative strategies one district has developed to meet landfill diversion requirements while generating revenue for the district to help ease ratepayer burden. Issues will be addressed from a financial, legal, and legislative perspective to shed a comprehensive light on the multifaceted challenges affecting utilities today and in the future.

The Post-COVID Revenue Cookie Jar for Cities
(T – Technical subject areas)
It’s no secret that consumer spending patterns and private investment are shifting in a post- COVID world, with impacts on what were once reliable municipal revenue sources. More important than ever, there are some economic development-related platforms with pockets of revenues and value that finance professionals should be aware of that this session will explore. For example, surplus property can be sold but must meet new surplus land act (SLA) regulations. Cities can lease land, as well, which also comes with SLA mandates. Also, there are a series of value capture tools, such as special tax increment districts like enhanced infrastructure financing districts (EIFDs), that are worth evaluating for long-term fiscal upside. The newest “currency” for cities is zoning and entitlements in a post-COVID world, where the shift from retail to residential and industrial and the reimagination of large regional 48 of 65

A Fundamental of Municipal Debt: Lease Financing in California (T – Technical subject areas)
Leasing as a tool of public finance plays a special role in California, where a particularly high voter threshold for approving “indebtedness” and a history of accommodating court decisions combine to provide the most important tool for the long-term financing of general fund capital expenditures. While many of the legal and market requirements are now well-established, this tried and true financing tool continues to evolve. Understanding this tool is essential for any public servant, elected official, or citizen interested in the workings of local and State government in California. The California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission is preparing a future publication on this topic, designed to replace a document that is now 30 years old. The participating panelists have been guiding this effort and will share this refreshed view of a time-tested tool.

CalPERS – the Charted Course Forward for Pensions
(T – Technical subject areas)
The issue of pension costs for local agencies has loomed large in California for many years. In the most recent fiscal year, amidst all the challenges of COVID-19, CalPERS investments more than tripled the expected rate of return, providing some relief for projected future employer contribution rates in a time of deepest challenge. But prudent decision-making requires a more realistic view of probable future investment performance, using the best possible tools 49 of 65
13 and industry experts to forecast what the retirement fund is most likely to return in the near- and long-term. In this session, CalPERS Chief Financial Officer Michael Cohen will explain how the global financial market outlook, local government fiscal realities, and the California political landscape itself were the subject of intense scrutiny and consideration by the CalPERS Board and staff in the recently completed Asset Liability Management (ALM) process, culminating in the selection of the discount rate. Special attention will be paid to the impacts on projected employer contribution rates, Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) employee contribution changes, unfunded liabilities, and the timeline for implementing strategic asset allocation changes in the portfolio.
Speaker: Michael Cohen, Chief Financial Officer, California Public Employees’ Retirement System
Insights from Lease Implementation
(A – Accounting & Auditing, G – Government)
The implementation date for Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases, which was extended 18 months due to GASB’s postponement standard because of COVID-19, has provided a long runway for lease implementation. Well, we are finally here! Join us for insights on lease implementation. We will share our collective experiences navigating through the challenges of implementing the requirements of the new lease standards. We will cover everything from identifying leases to reporting them in the annual comprehensive financial statements. GASB 87 is a wholesale change from existing lease guidance and requires careful consideration as you apply the new standards to your organization.

The Human Side of Ethics: Making Great Choices – Not Because We Have to but Because We Want to
(N – Non-technical subject areas)
What causes an otherwise intelligent person—a person who knows the difference between right and wrong—to make a choice that will negatively impact themselves and their organization? You’ll find out in this fascinating presentation on human values and ethics.
With a unique perspective gained from his own past experience, Chuck sheds new light on why we do what we do, and how to influence behavior.
Most business ethics speakers’ presentations and training programs focus on compliance and legal issues—as if ethical choices are either legal or not. The reality is, ethical choices have far more impact on a company long before the issue of “legal or illegal” comes into play. While your Ethics Code of Conduct might meet all the required standards, the missing piece for most companies is the ability to help management and employees understand the human dynamic associated with conduct management. It’s time to take ethics training in a different direction.
No longer is a two-hour compliance speech going to change behavior! Chuck will pull back the curtain to reveal the truth about ethical behavior and how we shape a new direction in ethical leadership. Expect to leave this presentation with the ability to:
50 of 65
14 • Understand specific human dynamics when it comes to ethical decisions. • Identify key components involved in making ethical choices. • Review the phases of “The Unethical Continuum.”
• Establish a road map to keep employees’ behavior between the ethical lines.
Speaker: Chuck Gallagher, Business Ethics Expert
Operationalizing Equity in Budget Development – Charting New Routes to Delivering Responsive Governance
(T – Technical subject areas)
The topic of racial equity in government has sparked renewed public interest in examining how local governments can advance better outcomes in the existing racial disparities between white residents and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) residents. A city’s budget is one of the most important policy documents, and is under increasing public demand to account for how it distributes services and resources to residents in fair and just ways. This panel will discuss how racial equity can be operationalized in a city’s budget development process by presenting how the City of Oakland integrated equity through its entire budget process. City of Oakland staff will explain the racial equity framework that guided their approach, the tools they developed to initiate all fiscal staff in equity analysis, and the process they designed to ensure that racial equity was considered at every step of the budget process.
The result of this work is that the City of Oakland published for the first time in its budget documents equity analysis on all significant budgetary changes for the public to digest, review, and debate. The staff that led this initiative has been collecting feedback internally on how to improve the process and will share lessons learned in the presentation.
The presenting team will give an in-depth appraisal of how racial equity can be more fully incorporated into municipal budget development. Attendees will receive grounding in principles of racial equity, change management practices, and a blueprint for integrating equity into their next budget cycle. This will be a hands-on session geared towards equipping attendees with knowledge and tools to begin strategically planning for the implementation of their own operationalization of racial equity. By attending this session, attendees will walk away with a deeper orientation on racial equity and how they can facilitate racial equity as a process to implement more responsive and transparent governance.
Speakers: Ecaterina Burton, Senior Budget and Management Analyst, City of Oakland Darlene Flynn, Director of the Department of Race and Equity, City of Oakland Benchmarking: A Better Tool for Success Than You Think (T – Technical subject areas)
Like many of you, I was “from Missouri” (i.e., very skeptical!) about the value of “benchmarking” (comparing my city with others). Every agency is unique (especially “my city”). After all, there are 482 cities and thousands of special districts. However, I’ve learned that when carefully prepared, benchmark analysis can be a powerful tool in measuring performance and assessing organizational accountability in a wide range of topics, including fiscal policies, staffing, organizational structure, and achieving goals. Making meaningful comparisons requires carefully selecting both the data that will be collected (“metrics”) and the benchmark agencies to ensure they represent as close a match to your organization as possible, recognizing that a “perfect” match is not possible. This session will present how 51 of 65
15 benchmarking results can be powerful in identifying strengths as well as areas for improvement. It will also present critical success factors for effective benchmarking, such as:
• Establishing the benchmarks (what will be compared)
• Identifying the benchmark group
• Collecting data (and ensuring its reliability/comparability) • Analyzing your agency’s current position
• Incorporating results into findings and recommendations Speaker: Bill Statler, Consultant/Retired Director of Finance & Information Technology, City of San Luis Obispo
Evaluating Proposals for Investment Advisory Services: How to Differentiate when Everything Sounds the Same
(T – Technical subject areas)
Public agencies in California and nationwide are continuously evaluating their investment programs and their choices of investment advisers. While it can be a tedious and time- consuming process, the request for proposal process is a best practice and primary facilitator in ensuring a competitive, merit-based selection of an investment adviser. In this session, we will discuss how to differentiate between responses and more clearly define how a firm’s experience, investment process, reporting capabilities, and risk controls meet your needs and fulfill your entity’s requirements. Our professionals will define some key metrics used to evaluate providers of investment services, information that is identifiable in the Form ADV and GIPS Compliant Reports, and enable your evaluation committee to make a decision that best fits your needs, financial goals, and mission.

Malware, ransomware, password theft, phishing, inadvertent disclosure, and other cyber threats are dramatically on the rise. These threats are increasingly complex. As a result, cyber liability insurance markets are rapidly changing. Insurers expect agencies to have robust security systems and protocols. This trend will undoubtedly continue for the foreseeable future. In this session, you will hear from one of the state’s premier municipal insurance pools and a top southern California attorney skilled in data breach prevention and response. You will learn about the rapidly changing environment, what you should be doing to protect your agency and your systems, and what you should immediately do if your agency is a victim of an attack.

Ten Essential Ways to Show Authentic Appreciation
(N – Non-technical subject areas)
Authenticity counts. If you really want to offer meaningful appreciation to others, you need to be sincere, get to know the people you work with, and show you care. Authentic appreciation comes from someone who knows what the individual did, how it benefitted the organization, and the type of feedback that will mean the most to the person on the receiving end. The days of offering generic “atta boys” and “great job” are over. Today’s workforce wants to know that others have taken the time to know them, noticed their contributions, and appreciated them as contributing members of the team. In this highly interactive session, you will learn a five- step process for delivering meaningful recognition and ten specific actions you can take to involve, motivate, encourage, and empower the people with whom you work.

For many employers, navigating the rules of reporting and hiring employees under the umbrella of the Public Employees’ Retirement Law can present challenges and confusion.
Many situations require careful analysis of the law and the specific details about the individual employee, and there are frequent refinements to the guidelines as new legislation, precedential cases, and regulations are promulgated. This presentation will cover hot topics and emerging issues with CalPERS. In particular, we will cover rules for hiring retired employees, memoranda of understanding (MOUs), special compensation, using independent contractors, and temporary employees. We will also cover common compliance issues, audit findings, recent audit trends, and how to address them. This session will be essential for agencies to know how to stay compliant and avoid liability.

Indirect Costs and Federal Funding: What you Need to Know (T – Technical subject areas)
Maximizing and sustaining revenue is more important now than ever. Fiscal recovery funds and federal grants are a chief source of revenue across the board for state, local, and tribal governments. Agencies spend on average 30-40% of total program cost in indirect costs to support federally funded grant programs. However, much of this indirect cost ends up being subsidized by the General Fund. It is critical that agencies understand their true costs in order to support their programs long-term. Join us in breaking down the common misconceptions around indirect costs and learn the necessary steps to recover those costs. By maximizing federal funding through indirect cost recovery, agencies can come out of this COVID-19 era stronger.

(T – Technical subject areas)
A famous American scientist once said, “The only dumb question is the question you don’t ask!” As a local government investor, do you find yourself confused as you listen to the media, your peers, and thought leaders discuss the following questions:
• What is the FOMC dot plot and how can I use it to help form my ARPA funds investment strategy?
• If the Federal Reserve adjusts the interest on excess reserves (IOER) rate, will that impact my portfolio – and how or why?
• Now that the Fed has changed its policy on the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) for banks, how will that impact my portfolio strategy?
• How is my portfolio positively impacted from the change in the definition of an Accredited Investor?
• How will pending inflation affect the fixed income markets and what should I do now in terms of strategy?
The landscape, language, and concepts in the local government fixed income marketplace have changed quickly and dramatically as we enter a post-COVID world. Now is the time to become familiar with the acronyms, the investment concepts, and strategies so you can strategically position your portfolio for the future. This session will review the impact of COVID on local government revenues and how stimulus, ARPA, and pending infrastructure plans will impact the fixed income markets and California investors. This session will also provide an educational overview of many of the entities, programs, legislation, language, and market phenomena that are impacting the fixed income markets. Finally, this session will explore and review investment strategies you can employ today to prepare for the drastically changing landscape of the short-term fixed income world.
