Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing t he City Manager or designee to approve a purchase order with Wiley D. Hughes Surveying, Inc. approving the preparation of documentation for a LAFCO Annexation & Right of Way Legal Descriptions for the amount of $18,500.00.
2) Find that this Project is classified as categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332.
Environmental Review:
Staff has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332 as it is characterized as in -fill development meeting the conditions described in this section. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Discussion:
The City requires the services of a professional land surveyor for two different purposes as follows:
1. The preparation of legal descriptions for additional right-of-way dedication along Filburn Avenue in various locations between Central Avenue and G Street. Th ese descriptions and illustrations would serve to allow Staff to speak with landowners to receive their legal approval of the dedication of additional Right of way on the South side of Filburn Avenue. With Filburn Avenues ’ current classification as an Arterial Roadway, we will require this additional Right of Way in order to widen the roadway to full width and match the existing Right of Way between Palm Avenue

and Griffith Avenue. The hope is to obtain these approvals so that the City can utilize this Right of Way for future shoulder and bike/pedestrian improvements.
2. Processing the annexation through LAFCO for the portion of the road that is still County owned along Central Avenue from Filburn Avenue going South ~1,300 Feet. This segment of Right of Way ru ns along the City -owned property on the South-East corner of Filburn and Central.
After reviewing the provided quote , Staff has concluded that Wiley D Hughes, Inc. has provided a cost -effective quote to process the required documents to allow both of these tasks to be completed in a timely manner.
Fiscal Impact:
The funding for this work will be split equally between the Public Works Engineering “Professional Services” FY 2022-2023 O perating Budget and the Planning Department “Professional Services” FY 2022-2023 Operating Budget.

The installation of the conduit, wire , etc. before the meter is going to be handled by PG&E crews after our installation is done. The installation of the charging stations will be taken care of by the charging station company “Chargepoint” once all work is complete. The Charging Stations are already in the City’s possession and are being stored until we are ready for installation.
The City advertised for bids on April 16th and opened bids on May 24th at 2:00 PM.
Staff received 2 bids from Contractors as follows:

After reviewing the provided quotes and supplied bid documents, Staff has determined that Reliable Monitoring Services, Inc. is the most cost-effective qualified contractor. As such, Staff recommends awarding the Project to Reliable Monitoring Services, Inc.
Fiscal Impact:
This Project was approved as part of the 2022-2023 CIP (Project 23022). This Project came within budget as the account currently has a balance of $ 80,672.33 which, after approval of this contract leaves $25,542.33 remaining.

2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Sign a Letter Authorizing the County of Kern as the Lead Agency to Submit to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) a Regional Application for the Used Oil Payment Program (OPP) Fiscal Year 2023-24 on its behalf.
Recommendation:
Staff Recommends the City Council:
1) Staff recommends the adoption of a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to sign a letter authorizing the Count y of Kern as the lead agency to submit to CalRecycle a regional application for the used oil payment program fiscal year 2023-24 on its behalf.
2) Find that this Project is classified as categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332.
Environmental Review:
Staff has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332 as it is characterized as in -fill development meeting th e conditions described in this section. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Background:
The City has historically opted into the regional application for a used oil payment program with the County of Kern.
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
82 to 554
Discussion:
It is in the best interest of the City to authorize the County of Kern to be the lead agency and submit an application on the City of Wasco's behalf for funding to CalRecycle for the support and marketing of used oil recycling centers within the City limits. The City has authorized the County previously and is required to do so on an annual basis.
Public Resources Code 48600 et seq. describes the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act (Act) which provides for, among other things, funding to assist local governments in developing and maintaining an ongoing used oil and used oil filter collection/recycling program for their communities. In 2009, Senate Bill 546 (Lowenthal, Chapter 353, Statutes of 2009) was enacted, and made various changes to the Act, including changing t he funding from a reimbursable grant program (formerly known as the Used Oil Block Grant Program [UBG]) to a payment program (referred to as the Used Oil Payment Program [OPP]), increasing the funding to $11 million per year (up from $10 million), and encouraging local governments to use a minimum of $1 million (approximately 10 percent of their individual funding) on collection and recycling of used oil filters.
As the lead agency, the County manages and oversees the used oil recycling program.
This program consists of the operation and oversight of certified used oil collection centers in Kern Unincorporated areas and within the participating jurisdictions. The County also provides advertisement and promotion of the program, submits required reporting to the State, and covers other administrative responsibilities. The County has larger staffing resources and capacity than the City to monitor and implement the used oil recycling program; therefore, staff recommends the City opt into the regional application as it has historically done.

WHEREAS, Public Resources Code 48600 et seq. describes the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act (Act) which provides for, among other things, funding to assist local governments in developing and maintaining an on-going used oil and used oil filter collection/recycling program for their communities; and

WHEREAS, the County of Kern provides advertisement and promotion of the program, submits required reporting to the State and covers other administrative responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to submit a letter with language attached hereto as Exhibit “A” to authorize the County of Kern as the Lead Agency to submit to CalRecycle a regional application for the used oil payment program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Wasco as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Manager or designee is authorized to endorse and send a letter authorizing the County of Kern as the lead agency to submit to CalRecycle a Regional Application for the Used Oil Payment Program (OPP) Fiscal Year 202 3-24 on the City of Wasco’s behalf.

CivicReady is an integrated technology platform for local government to notify residents of emergencies and, or, City events. The City had confronted many emergencies during this time and utilized CivicReady for disseminating information and alerts related to COVID-19 and the water shortage emergency.
Although CivicReady initially met the City’s mass notification needs, changes to the product, issues with support and rising prices prompted Staff to seek alternatives. Staff gathered quotes from CivicReady and two other mass/emergency communication software vendors:

Mass notification system capabilities vary widely. Important to staff review were: support quality, message language support, resident information management features and of course pricing. After comparing similar platforms, participating in trial runs, and receiving actual reviews from current customers. AlertMedia proved to be the best alternative.
AlertMedia serves more than 3,000 organization s in more than 130 countries. Orange County, El Dorado County, and, th e San Francisco Municipal Transport Agency are notable AlertMedia customers. AlertMedia has proposed a three- year agreement with year-one pricing of $9,999 + tax and a 5.9% annual increase after year one. Although not the lowest priced option, AlertMedia’s feature set and support set it apart.
Staff proposes a switch from CivicReady to AlertMedia. A draft agreement has been provided which will be reviewed by the City Manager and City Attorney. The attached resolution would authorize the City Manager to finalize a professional services agreement that encompasses the scope of work required and authorizes the City Manager to execute the agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost for Year 1 at $9,999 + tax, with a 5.9% annual increase after year one. The proposed FY 2023-2024 Budget contains sufficient funds for mass notification expenses.
No immediate budget action is required with the approval of this item.

DATE: June 20, 2023
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Sign and Execute the Second Amendment to Lease Agreement No. 2021 -025 with I&M Sheep Company to Permit Continued Grazing on the City’s Municipal Ag Land
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to sign and execute the third amendment to lease agreement 2021-025 with I&M Sheep Company to graze sheep on the City’s municipal ag land.
2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for complianc e with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activit y which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Discussion:
On June 1 , 2021, the Cit y Council approved Agreement No. 2021 -025 for I&M Sheep Company to graze City-owned land adjacent the City’s wastewater treatment plant. This is a five-year agreement with up to four additional one-year optional extensions. Irrigation with treated water and active use of the land is an ongoing benefit to the City.
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
109 to 554
In July of 2022, Council approved First Amendment to Agreement No. 2021-025 (1), which, by mutual agreement, reduced the amount of leased land from approximately 696 acres to 536 acres. This 160-acre reduction was to accommodate a third-party wishing to use the least productive (for grazin g) portion of the leased land for another purpose. The reduction was to be for one year.
The current arrangement has proven advantageous for both I&M Sheep Company and the third-party and both Lessees wish to extend the arrangement. City Staff is also in favor of extending the agreements with both tenants.
The proposed Second Amendment to Agreement No. 2021 -025 (2) (attached) accomplishes the following modifications to the Agreement:
1. Extends the term of the 5-year lease to a 6th year, providing concurrent termination dates (June 30, 2027) for the I&M lease and the proposed third-party lease, to be considered separately by Council.
2. Makes permanent (for the duration of the lease) the reduction in leased land acreage from approximately 696 acres to 536 acres.
3. Establishes the new annual and quarterly rent amounts for the duration of the lease.
All other terms of the Agreement remain unaffected.
Fiscal Impact:
Continued r evenues from this lease will be deposited into the Wastewater Enterprise Fund. No budget action is required with approval of this item.

.
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
DATE: June 20, 2023
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Sign and Execute First Amendment to Agreement No. 2022-029 (1) with Marlow Ag Logistics, Inc. /TBE Services to Continue an Agricultural Green Waste Mulching Operation on 160 Acres of the City’s Municipal Ag Land.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to sign and execute First Amendment to Agreement No. 2022-029 (1) with Marlow Ag Logistics, Inc./TBE Services to continue an Agricultural Green Waste Mulching Operation on 160 Acres of the City’s Municipal Ag Land.
2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Discussion:
The City currently leases approximately 160 acres of Municipal Ag Land to Marlow Ag Logistics, Inc. (“Marlow”) through Agreement No. 2022-029 (the “Lease”), approved June 1, 2022. The company takes agricultural green waste, specifically pistachio hulls, leaves, and twigs , and processes the material into a saleable mulch. The City land is ideally located approximately 1.5 miles from the primary provider of agricultural green waste material.
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
128 to 554
Over the past year, Marlow’s operations under the Lease have been successful and they, and their greenwaste supplier wish to extend their arrangement. Marlow has approached the City regarding extention of the Lease to accommodate their contract with the greenwaste supplier. Additionally, Marlow has requested the Lease be transferred to an affiliate of Marlow, TBE Services to better reflect the operational and insurance profiles of the two entities. The two companies have common ownership and management.
The City is agreeable to the extension and transfer of the Lease to the affiliate. The operation on City land has been well managed and benefits the parcel that is otherwise unused except for containment of excess treated wastewater.
Specifically, First Amendment to Agreement 2022 -029 (1) will accomplish the following modifications to the Lease:
1. Effective August 1, 2023, substitues TBE Services as the Lessee, for all purposes going forward.
2. Extends the term of the Lease through June 30, 2027
3. Establishes the new annual and quarterly rent amounts for the duration of the lease.
All other terms of the Lease Agreement remain unaffected.
Fiscal Impact:
Continued revenues from this lease will be deposited into the Wastewater Enterprise Fund. No budget action is required with approval of this item.

Luis Villa, Public Works Director
DATE: June 20, 2023
SUBJECT: Conduct a Public Hearing to Adopt a Resolution Amending the Traffic Impact Fee Rate Schedule Pursuant To Chapter 13.24 of The Wasco Municipal Code (Ord. 02-469)
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Conduct a Public Hearing to Adopt a Resolution amending traffic impact fees rate schedule.
2) Find that this Project is classified as categorically exempt under CEQA Section 15332.
Environmental Review:
Staff has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project is categorically exempt under CEQA Section 15332.
Discussion:
Under Chapter 13.24 of the Wasco Municipal Code, Traffic Impact Fees are to be adjusted annually by reviewing the current April Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI) from Los Angeles and San Francisco average and comparing it to the previous year’s ENRCCI average for the two cities. When the average of said indices differs from the average of the indices for the preceding April, the factor of increase or decrease shall be applied to the schedule of fees. Such factor shall be computed by dividing the average ENRCCI for the current April by that pertaining to the previous April.
The individual transportation impact fee rates may be multiplied by the factor to determine the adjusted schedule of fees.
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

The increase for this year is calculated as follows:
ENRCCI April 2022: Los Angeles $13,698.12
San Francisco $15,103.81
Average: $14,400.97
ENRCCI April 2023: Los Angeles $13,729.03
San Francisco $15,319.85
Average: $14,524.44
Factor: $14,524.44 / 14,400.97 = + 1.0086
Current Traffic Impact Fee: $111.72 per daily trip
New Traffic Impact Fee: Current Traffic Impact Fee * Factor $111.72 * 1.0086 = $112.68 per daily trip
The ENRCCI is an index of construction costs that takes into account union wages and cost of materials. It is a method for tracking public improvement costs. The increase is an appropriate amount for the change in costs for constructing or improving roadways.
Therefore, it is recommended that the City follow the statute s of the Traffic Impact Fee Ordinance, setting one public hearing to consider passing a resolution approving the proposed fee increase.
Fiscal Impact:
The amount and type of new development will determine the amount of traffic impact fees collected. No budget action is required with approval of this item.

Keri Cobb, Community Development Director
DATE: June 20, 2023
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Cost Report for Outstanding Fines, Assessing the Cost Thereof, and Imposing Liens Pursuant to City of Wasco Municipal Code 1.20, 8.24 and 17.80
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution approving the Cost Report for outstanding Code Compliance fines, and imposing liens on the subject properties as provided for in City of Wasco Municipal Code Chapters 1.20, 8.24, and 17.80.
2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Gu idelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Background:
This item is the annual Code Compliance approval of property liens for unpaid fines and abatement costs, where the Council reviews and confirms the abatement and outstanding fine amounts that are to be placed as liens on the 2023/24 tax rolls. This year the City did not incur any abatement costs and as a result, the Council only needs to consider unpaid fine amounts.
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
153 to 554
Discussion:
During the calendar year, 2022 several unpaid Code Compliance fines have accrued.
On May 18, 2023, a Director’s Hearing was held to allow any property owners to present additional evidence or testimony as to why their fines should be reduced and/or waived.
Following that hearing , a letter of determination was sent to each property owner regarding the final status of their fines and notifying them that the Council meeting to approve the submittal of the fines to the County Assessor’s Office would be on June 20, 2023.
The attached Cost Report, Exhibit A, identifies the twenty -one properties that have accrued administrative fines. These costs include the cost of accrued fines, City administrative costs (staff time), and interest which total $10,082.00 These properties have created a public nuisance to the surrounding areas of the City. Per these Chapters of the Municipal Code, the City of Wasco is eligible for reimbursement for these abatement costs and fines and has the authority to place assessments on the properties as a lien on the Property Tax Roll to facilitate the collection of abatement costs.
The attached resolution will allow the City to place these costs on the 202 2/23 property tax roll.
Attached to this resolution as Exhibit A is a complete list of the parcels to be assessed and the amounts to be placed as liens on the properties.
Fiscal Impact:
Allows the City to recover a total of $10,082.00 for reimbursement of incurred and unpaid fines.

The absence of key staff members in these positions has hindered the city’s ability to keep up with more detailed projects . T he temporary staffing services CLSR will provide will allow the Public Works Department to get back on track as we work through the recruitment process. The CLSR service agreement is outlined within Exhibit A.
Fiscal Impact:
Staffing assignment costs under this Agreement will be covered by Professional Services budgets within individual divisions and largely offset by vacant position savings. Separate appropriations will be brought for Council consideration should those budgets be exhausted. No immediate budgetary action is necessary with the approval of this item.

To Speaker Rendon, Assemblymember Ting, Senator Pro Tem Atkins, and Senator Skinner:
On behalf of [INSERT ORGANIZATION/CITY NAME] we are writing to express our strong support for the Newsom Administration’s proposed infrastructure package to accelerate critical clean infrastructure projects that meet state social, climate, and economic goals. These proposals maintain the integrity of appropriate environmental review, government transparency, and community engagement.
[INSERT ORGANIZATION/CITY MISSION STATEMENT/PRIORITY]
Extreme events caused by climate change, including heatwaves, wildfires, flooding, and drought, pose unprecedented challenges to the State’s infrastructure. Tackling this climate crisis and advancing the state’s equity goals necessitate urgent action and deployment of clean projects to meet our world-leading climate goals, build a clean and resilient electric grid, strengthen California’s water resiliency, and modernize the state’s clean transportation infrastructure.
California has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to leverage federal funding to invest in California’s clean infrastructure, grow the state’s economy, and create thousands of good paying jobs. Yet major infrastructure projects are too often bogged down in overly onerous regulatory processes and a siloed approach to permitting approvals, which increases overall costs and delays critical projects. In order to streamline permitting and build infrastructure responsibly and expeditiously, the Administration is proposing thoughtful, common sense reform measures to streamline regulatory and review processes so projects can be planned, permitted, and built faster while protecting the environment. Importantly, these proposals provide unique streamlining benefits under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to advance climate- friendly projects without reducing the environmental and government transparency benefits of the environmental review process.
For these reasons, we are in strong support of the Administration’s infrastructure package to build California’s clean future, faster.
Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE]

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF WASCO
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Isarel Perez-Hernandez, Finance Director
DATE: June 20, 2023
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution approving the City’s Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the City’s Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024.
2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
DISCUSSION:
Overview
Under the Gann Spending -Limitation Initiative (Article XIII B of the State Constitution) adopted as Proposition 4 in June 1979 and subsequently modified by Proposition 111 in June 1990), the City is required to annually adopt a resolution setting the Appropriations Limit for the upcoming fiscal year. For 2023-24, the City’s Appropriations Limit is $32.0 million.
However, as discussed below, 2023- 24 appropriations subject to the limit are $6.1 million, which is far less than the calculated Limit by $25.9 million.
181 to 554
Background and Key Concepts
The Gann Spending -Limitation Initiative provides for the limitation of state and local government appropriations. As discussed in the following summary of the major provisions of the Gann Initiative and Proposition 111 modifications, the Gann Initiative is actually a limitation on tax revenues (which can have an effect on some tax-funded expenditures) rather than a direct limitation on appropriations.
Key concepts include:
1. Appropriations subject to limitation may not exceed appropriations made in 1978- 79 except as adjusted for increases in the cost of living, population , and service responsibility transfers.
2. Appropriations financed through service fees (to the degree that they do not exceed the cost of performing the service), franchise fees, gran t programs, fines and forfeitures, and other specified “non -tax” sources are not subject to the Appropriations Limit. Additionally, appropriations for long -term indebtedness incurred prior to 1978-79, debt service on qualified capital outlays beginning in 1990-91, qualified capital outlays in excess of $100,000 and increased costs as a result of federally mandated programs, are also excluded from the Limit. Essentially, with the exceptions noted above, only appropriations funded through tax revenues are subject to limitation.
3. For the purpose of identifying “proceeds from taxes” under the Gann Initiative, state subventions that are unrestricted as to their use are considered to be tax sources. On the other hand, the use of subventions like gas tax and transportation development act funds are restricted by the State, and as such, are classified as non-tax sources.
4. Under the original Gann Initiative, all proceeds from taxes received in excess of the appropriations limit were required to be returned throu gh refunds or revisions in tax rates and fee schedules within the next two fiscal years; or voter approval to increase the appropriations limit was required. Proposition 111 provides a one-year carryover feature to determine excess revenues under which refunds can be avoided if in the subsequent year the City is below the limit by the amount of the prior year excess. Any voter -approved increase to the appropriations limit cannot exceed four years.
5. Originally, the Gann Initiative was self- executing, requ iring no formal review.
However, Proposition 111 requires that the annual calculation be reviewed as part of the annual financial audit.
6. Other key concepts in implementing the Gann Initiative include: appropriations funded through tax sources are subject to the limit, not total expenditures; and any excess of actual tax revenues over the Appropriations Limit, not actual expenditures or appropriations, are subject to refund.
182 to 554
Annual Adjustment Factors
The annual adjustment factors for changes in population and cost of living for the appropriations limit calculation must be selected by a recorded vote of the Council, and include the following:
1. Population. Based on data provided annually by the State Department of Finance, cities may annually choose either the growth in their City’s or their County’s population.
For this year’s calculation, the City’s population growth factor (which slightly exceeds the County’s factor) is the recommended adjustment factor.
2. Cost of Living. Local governments may annually choose either the percentage change in California per capita personal income or the percentage change in their jurisdiction's assessed valuation that is attributable to non-residential new construction.
For this year’s calculation - as in past years – the percentage increase in California per capita personal income is the recommended adjustment factor.
Note: The City’s percentage change in assessed valuation attributable to non -residential new construction is not readily available. If this b ecomes available and results in a significantly higher Limit, it can be adjusted at that time. However, because the difference between the City’s Limit and appropriations subject to the limit is so large, this is unlikely to be necessary in the foreseeable future.
Calculation Summary
The City’s Appropriation Limit for 2023-24 is $31,972,361 calculated as follows:

183 to 554
The options highlighted in bold print are the recommended adjustment factors in determining the City’s Appropriations Limit for 2023-24.
Appropriations Subject to the Limit
The attached spreadsheet identifies proceeds from taxes in the 2023-24 Budget under the Gann initiative definitions, which total $10,157,399. This is the base that determines proceeds from taxes (and thus appropriations subject to the limit), with two adjustments:
1. Allocated Interest Earnings. Generally accepted accounting principles in this case are to allocate interest earnings based on the ratio between tax and non-tax proceeds. As reflected in the attached spreadsheet, tax proceeds account for 54% of total General Fund revenues (excluding interest earnings); and accordingly, 54% of projected interest earnings ($26,800 of $50,000) are allocated to tax proceeds.
2. Exclusion of Capital Outlay in Excess of $100,000. As dis cussed above, Proposition 111 adopted in June 1990 made several administrative changes in the Appropriations Limit.
Among these was the exclusion from the Limit of capital outlays in excess of $100,000.
These total $4,074,128.
Accordingly, net tax proceeds subject to the Limit are $6,110,071.
The following is a ten -year summary of the City’s Appropriations Limit compared with appropriations subject to the Limit.

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance (Finance) to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 20 23, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2023-24. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2023-24 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.
Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml.
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2023.
Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2023-24 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2023-24 4.44
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2023-24 appropriation limit.
2023-24:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.44 percent
Population Change = -0.35 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 4.44 + 100 = 1.0444 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.35 + 100 = 0.9965

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF WASCO
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Isarel Perez-Hernandez, Finance Director
DATE: June 20, 2023
SUBJECT: Approve a Resolution Adopting the Annual Statement of Investment Policy. _____________________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Approve a Resolution Adopting the Annual Statement of Investment Policy.
2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Background:
Government Code Section 53646(a) requires that a public entity’s investment policy be reviewed annually by the governing body or an investment committee. All funds will be invested in accordance with the City’s Investment Policy and California Government Codes which regulate municipal governments. An investment policy should identify the parameters of the investment function, with the primary objectives being safety, liquidity, and yield, in that order.
(1) Safety – safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program; (2) Liquidity – the investment portfolio will remain liquid to enable the City to meet cash flow needs;
(3) Yield – the portfolio shall be designed with the objective of making a rate of return consistent with the safety and liquidity objectives. The ultimate goal is to maximize return of investment income and simultaneously ensuring the safety of the funds being invested.
The three features above (safety, liquidity , and yield) are satisfied by the City’s present policy, including a section on periodic reporting of portfolio performance. After reviewing 192 to 554
the existing policy, staff has one recommended change to participate in the California Asset Management Program (“CAMP”) and the California Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (“CLASS”) as permissible investment options for idle City funds.
Discussion:
The City's current options to invest idle funds do not have a good solution to take full advantage of rising interest rates. As rates continue to rise, many of the City ’s current investments can take a year or more to reflect these changes, which reduces overall interest revenue. Staff has researched available options and recommend that the California Asset Management Program ("CAMP") and California Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (“CLASS”) , which are California Joint Powers Authority, become authorized investment vehicles for a portion of the City’s idle funds.
CAMP was established in 1989 to provide California public agencies with professional investment services. The CAMP Pool is a permitted investment for all local agencies under California Government Code Section 53601 (p) which invests in obligations of the United States Government and its agencies, high -quality, short -term debt obligations of U S. companies and financial institutions.
CLASS was established in 2022 to provide California public agencies with professional investment services. CLASS is endorsed by the League of Cities. CLASS is a permitted investment for all local agencies under California Government Code Section 53601 (p) which invests in obligations such as:
• U.S. Government and agency obligations
• Registered warrants or treasury notes of the state of California • Bonds, notes, warrants, or other obligations of a local agency in the state of California • Registered treasury notes or bonds of any of the other 49 states • Bankers’ acceptances
• Prime commercial paper and asset-backed commercial paper • Negotiable certificates of deposit
For comparison purposes, below is the State of California's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) yield for the month of May compared to CLASS and CAMP.
Portfolio Monitoring and Compliance
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFO A) recommends that an agency's investment policy explicitly require periodic reporting. Consistent with GFOA best practices, the Administrative Services Department will continue to prepare quarterly summary investment reports within 45 days after the close of each quarter, with an Annual Investment Report prepared and filed within 60 days of year- end. Quarterly and annual reports have been and will continue to be, presented to City Council as a 'Receive, Review and File' item.

YIELD COMPARISON
193 to 554
All financial investment ins truments are constantly monitored and assessed for safety, liquidity and yield. The City's idle funds have historically been in principal safe investments that protect its pooled cash, such as money market accounts, rolling Certificates of Deposit through UnionBanc Securities in various FDIC-insured accounts, the State of California's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), and the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA) investment pool. Adoption of this annual policy will allow staff to continue to ensure continued compliance, the safety of principal, sufficient portfolio liquidity, and an acceptable yield for the City's idle cash balances.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to this action.

CITY OF WASCO
INVESTMENT POLICY Revised 6/20203
I. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to identify various policies and procedures that enhance opportunities for a prudent and systematic investment process and to organize and formalize investment-related activities. Related activities, which comprise sound cash management, include accurate cash flow projections, control of disbursements, expedient collection of revenues, cost effective banking relations and a short -term borrowing program, which coordinates investment opportunity with working capital requirements. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City of Wasco while protecting its pooled cash resources.
The investment policies and practices of the City of Wasco are based on state law and prudent money management. All funds will be invested in accordance with the City's Investment Policy and the authority governing investments for municipal governments as set forth in the California Government Code, Sections 53601 through 53659. Any investment s of bond proceeds are to be restricted by the provisions of the relevant bond documents.
II. Scope
It is intended that this policy cover all funds and investment activities of the City. These funds are accounted for in the annual audited financial statements, and include:
O General Fund
O Special Revenue Funds
O Debt Service Funds
O Capital Projects Funds
O Enterprise Funds
O Internal Service Funds
O Fiduciary Funds
This investment policy applies to all City transactions involving the financial assets and related activity of the above- mentioned funds. Any additional funds that may be created from time to time shall also be administered with the provisions of this policy and comply with the current State Government Code.
III. Prudence (Standard of Care)
The City of Wasco operates its pooled idle cash investments under the prudent man rule (Civil Code Section 2261, et. seq.). In addition, Government Code Section 53600.3 provides that those persons to whom investment decisions have been delegated are trustees with a fiduciary responsibility to act as a prudent investor.
Investments shall be made with judgment and care - un
der circumstances then prevailing - which
persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as 197 to 554
CITY OF WASCO
INVESTMENT POLICY Revised 6/20203
the probable income to be derived. This affords a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deeded prudent under current law.
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. All persons investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling and managing public funds shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City.
It is the City's intent at the time of purchase to hold all investments until maturity to ensure the return of all invested principal dollars but sales prior to maturity are permitted.
IV. Objectives
A. Investment Criteria:
Government Code Section 53600.5 states: “When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, ac
quiring, exchanging, selling and managing public funds, the primary objective of the trustee shall be to safeguard the principal of funds under its control. The secondary objective shall be to meet the liquidity needs of the depositor. The third objective shall be to achieve a return on the funds under its control”.
Simply stated, safety of principal is the foremost objective, followed by liquidity and return on investment (known as yield). Each investment transaction shall seek to first ensure the capital losses are avoided, whether they are from market erosion or security defaults.
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City's investment activities shall be:
1. S afety - Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. The City's investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of capital in the portfolio. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and market risk. Investment decisions should not incur unreasonable credit or market risks in order to obtain current investment income. a. C
redit Risk: Defined as the risk of loss due to failure by the issuer of a security
b. Market Risk: Defined as the risk of market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates.
2. Li
quidity - The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet its cash flow requirements. An adequate portion of the portfolio should be maintained in liquid short-term securities which can be converted to cash and guarantee the City’s ability to meet operating expenditures. 198 to 554
CITY OF WASCO
INVESTMENT POLICY Revised 6/20203
3. Return on Investment (Yield) - The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return on its’ investments consistent with the constraints imposed by its safety objective and cash flow considerations.
Yield is to be a consideration only after the basic requirements of adequate safety and liquidity have been met.
B. Market Rate of Return
The investment portfolio shall be managed to attain a market average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles. This takes into account the City’s cash flow requirements and investment risk constraints, state and local laws and ordinances or resolutions that restrict the placement of short-term funds.
C. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be managed with the objective of producing a yield meeting or exceeding the average return on the one-year U.S. Treasury. This index is considered a benchmark for low to moderate risk investment transactions. Therefore, they comprise a minimum standard for the portfolio’s rate of return. The investment program shall seek to augment returns above this threshold, consistent with risk limitations identified herein and prudent investment principles. This benchmark will be reviewed thoroughly and may be adjusted as required by market conditions to prevent incurring unreasonable risks to attain yield.
D. Diversification
The investment portfolio shall be diversified to prevent incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types, individual financial institutions or maturity segments.
E. Public Trust
All participants in the investment process shall act responsibly as custodians of the public trust.
Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust.
V. Delegation of Authority
The management and oversight responsibility for the investment program in hereby delegated to the Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer who shall monitor and review all investments for consistency with this investment policy. The Finance Director and Treasurer are authorized to transfer City funds within the accounts established by the City that are held by financial institutions and depositories in order to ensure the daily cash flow needs of City operations. The Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer shall establish procedures to implement and monitor this investment policy. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the limits of this policy.
VI. Ethics and Conflict of Interest
199 to 554
CITY OF WASCO
INVESTMENT POLICY Revised 6/20203
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions.

VIII. Permitted Investment Instruments
Allowable investment instruments are defined in the California Government Code Section 53600 et. seq., as amended. If the Code is further revised to allow additional investments or is changed regarding the limits on certain categories of investments, the City is authorized to conform to these changes, excluding those changes that may be prohibited by this policy.

Investments that mature more than five years from the date of purchase cannot occur without prior approval of the City Council or Agency Board. As defined in Government Code Section 53601, “no investment shall be made in any security... that at the time of investment has a term remaining to maturity in excess of five years, unless the legislative body has granted express authority to make that investment either specifically or as a part of an investment approved by the legislative body no less than three months prior to the investment.” XI Ineligible Investments
Certain investments are prohibited under Government Code Sections 53601.6 and 53631.5.
Security types, which are prohibited, include, but are not limited to:
(a) "Complex" derivative structures such as range notes, dual index notes, inverse floaters, leveraged or deleveraged floating rate notes, or any other complex variable rate or structured note.
(b) Interest only strips that are derived from a pool of mortgages or any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity.
(c) Reverse Repurchase Agreements.
Purchasing these types of instruments does not coincide with this Policy’s objectives and would require a thorough review and monitoring of the underlying security. A lthough some of these transactions are legal under Government Code, they do not meet the objectives contained herein.

The Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer is responsible to monitor and review the Pooled funds portfolio on an ongoing basis. The City shall take any necessary action should either Pool exceed the allowable 10% limit.

INVESTMENT POLICY Revised 6/20203
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Bankers' Acceptances - negotiable time drafts or bills of exchange drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank. Acceptance of the draft obligates the bank to pay the bearer the face amount of the draft at maturity. In addition to the guarantee by the accepting bank, the transaction is identified with a specific commodity. The sale of the underlying goods will generate the funds necessary to liquidate the indebtedness. Banker's Acceptances are usually created to finance the import and export of goods, the shipment of goods within the United States and the storage of readily marketable staple commodities. Banker's Acceptances are sold at a discount from par and the amount and maturity dates are fixed. Bankers' Acceptances have the backing of both the bank and the pledged commodities with no known principal loss in over 70 years. State law permits cities to invest up to 40% in bankers' acceptances.
Certificate of Deposit - A deposit insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC at a set rate for a specified period of time.
Collateral - Securities, evidences of deposit or pledges to secure repayment of a loan. Also refers to securities pledged by a bank to secure deposit of public moneys.

There is a secondary market for commercial paper and an investor may sell them prior to maturity. Unused lines of credit back commercial paper from major banks. State law permits cities to invest up to 30% in commercial paper.
Credit Risk - Defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security. This loss shall be mitigated by investing in investment grade securities and by diversifying the investment portfolio so that the failure of any one issuer does not unduly harm the City's capital base and cash flow.

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF WASCO
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Isarel Perez-Hernandez, Finance Director
DATE: June 20, 2023
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution approving the City’s Fiscal Year 2023 -2024 Annual Operating Budget and 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Program. _____________________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Annual Operating Budget and 2023 -28 Capital Improvement Program.
2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Discussion:
The Preliminary 2023-24 Budget responds to the challenges facing the City in rec overing from the adverse economic and fiscal circumstances resulting from Covid -19 as well as new challenges resulting from mixed economic messages from inflationary pressures and possible recession. However, while these impacts are uncertain, the Budget assumes continued recovery. Moreover, the City enters into these difficult times with unique strengths compared with many other cities in California.
Given these challenges and uncertainties, the Budget is based on the following key principles:
• Is fiscally responsible and balanced in meeting the significant challenges ahead of us. 220 to 554
• Preserves essential services, recognizing that delivery methods may change. This includes day -to-day operating services as well as adequately maintaining existing infrastructure and facilities.
• Reflects Council goal-setting from the March 4, 2023 workshop, consistent with the fiscal constraints facing us and remaining nim ble with changing circumstances, opportunities and realities. In short, the
Budget is the “guidebook” for achieving
the goals set by the Council. This is
reflected in the ambitious Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) and
Department objectives.
ECONOMIC AND FISCAL CHALLENGES
AHEAD
For the last two years, the major fiscal threat
facing the City was uncertain recovery from
the Covid-19 pandemic. With the wide
availability of vaccines, the public health
crisis appears over (the State emergency
declaration was recently rescinded) and
current trends reflect recovery.
But there are mixed signals. While Covid-19
impacts may be behind us, new economic
challenges have surfaced in its wake: rising
inflation with fears of recession.
Rising inflation. While initially believed to be short-term by many leading economists, inflation continues to be high by recent standards.

Budget Purpose
The City of Wasco’s annual budget is a
guidebook for achieving the goals for the year
set by the Council during an annual strategic
planning process. Its primary purpose is to link
goals with the resources needed to achieve
them. The Budget serves as a:
• Policy document setting forth goals and
objectives to be accomplished and
articulates fundamental principles upon
which budget is prepared.
• Fiscal plan identifying and appropriating
public resources.
• Operations guide describing basic
organizational units and activities of the city.
• Communications tool providing the
community with a blueprint of how public
resources are being used.
221 to 554
Following long-term trends of about 2% before Covid-19, inflation peaked at 9.1% in May 2022 (the highest rate in forty years) due to high demand for limited supplies: supply chain shortages persist; and gasoline prices have surged with limited supplies from new refinery formulation mandates and the war in Ukraine. This in turn resulted in increasing interest rates. However, as supply chain issues improve and gasoline prices stabilize, inflation rates have steadily declined, with inflation at about 5% in April 2023.
Many economists predict continuing declines. For example, Statista projects that inflation will decline to pre-Covid-19 levels of about 2% by 2024.
But there are notable strengths. While interest rates are rising, they are still low by historical standards. And the housing market remains strong.
Moreover, employment trends are also favorable. Nationally, while unemployment rose sharply during the Covid-19 pandemic (peaking at 14%), this has been followed by strong decreases since then. Unemployment has fallen to historic lows of about 3.5% over the past 14 months.

This strong labor market is also reflected in monthly job growth:
U.S. Monthly Jobs Growth: Last 12 Months
This reflects steady job growth for the past 28 consecutive months.
And the markets reflect this “yin and yang” of inflation by consistent, strong employment performance in the face of recessionary fears. The Standard and Poor’s’ 500 Index (S&P 500) is a widely-accepted measure of overall stock market performance. The following presents its performance over the past five years.

The market roller coaster ride - Short Story:
• Its peak before Covid-19 was 3,380.
• It fell to its lowest point of 2,305 in March 2020, increasing to its peak of 4,766 in December 2021.
• Mixed results since then. However, at 4,339 in June 2023, it is still up by 28% since its pre- Covid peak.
Impact on 2023-24 Financial Condition. These mixed messages lead to uncertainty about our fiscal outlook. That said, current trends are favorable. And accordingly, key General Fund revenues show continued but moderate growth.
Challenges Ahead but Begin with Key Strengths
As discussed above, while the City is facing an uncertain fiscal future, it does so with significant strengths:
• Starts with a balanced budget. The City begins with a balanced budget: it is not scrambling to close past deficits.
• “Clean” (unqualified) audited financial statements . The City has a long history of receiving clean audits.
• No unfunded retiree health care obligations. This is a significant fiscal-health factor for the City. To put the potential impact of unfunded retiree health costs in perspective compared with other agencies, for the State of California, its unfunded retiree health care liabilities are larger than its unfunded pension obligations. • No General Fund debt obligations. The City begins 2023-24 with no General Fund debt service obligations.
• Strong General Fund reserves . The unassigned General Fund balance is projected to end 2023-24 with 47% of ope rating expenditures, compared with the City’s minimum policy target of 35%. (Note that $9.3 million continues to be “assigned” for the Labor Housing Complex project. As noted below, the High -Speed Rail Authority has committed to funding this cost. The Agre ement to cover the cost of cleaning up the Labor Housing Complex has been executed. However, this is a reimbursement arrangement. Significant funds will be expended as work proceeds. • Clear budget and fiscal policies . These provide the City with an essen tial foundation for effective financial decision-making and in protecting the City’s fiscal health, in both the short and long-term. Included in the Budget document, they cover a broad range of areas, including budget purpose and organization; revenue mana gement; minimum fund balance and reserves; financial reporting and budget administration; and capital financing and debt management; CIP management; and human resources management.
224 to 554
• Long-standing tradition of responsible financial management and prudent stewardship of community assets. This core value will serve the City well in meeting the challenges ahead in a fiscally responsible way that preserves essential services.
COUNCIL BUDGET REVIEW
The following summarizes the Council budget review process, with adoption scheduled for June 20, 2023.
Date Purpose
February 21 Mid-Year Budget Review
March 4 Strategic Planning Workshop: Council goal-
setting

Appropriations Limit Adoption
ALIGNMENT WITH COUNCIL GOALS
As reflected above, the Budget process began with the mid-year review in February and the Council goal-setting on March 4, 2023. As set forth in the side-bar, the Council set goals for 2023-24 organized into five major themes:
• Public Safety
• Infrastructure (Facilities, Water, Street Repairs, Telecommunications) • Code Enforcement
• Community and Local Business
Gathering Places
• Community and Greenspace
Beautification
The commitment to these goals is reflected
throughout the Budget, most not ably in
two areas:
Public Safety. Transitioning away from
contracting with the County Sheriff and
implementing a City -operated Police
Department.
Infrastructure and Facilities . Implementing
an ambitious CIP in addressing
infrastructure and facility needs.
Other operating programs also address these top “themes” as outlined in the objectives and significant operating cost changes in each of Departments/Divisions.
Goal-Setting Process
• Overview of department responsibilities.
• Assessment of departmental Initiatives for
the upcoming fiscal year.
• 2022-23 accomplishments.
• Overview of ongoing and new projects.
• Department priorities for 2023-24.
• Council “homework” assignment: Council
members were asked to submit candidate
goals prior to the workshop. These served
as the starting “menu” for discussion.
• Council goal-setting.
225 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
As noted above, budget and fiscal policies provide an essential fo undation for effective financial decision-making and for protecting the City’s fiscal health, in both the short and long term. They are the City’s “north star” in guiding the preparation and implementation of budgets and financial plans. They help make tough decisions easier by stating our organizational values before they are placed under stress by adverse circumstances. The City may choose to do something different – effective policies are guides, not straight jackets – but they are a powerful starting point: but for “this,” the City should do what? They are both preventative and curative: clearly , articulated policies help prevent problems from arising in the good times; and help respond to bad times when they do occur. They also help provide financial ma nagement continuity as elected officials and staff change. Lastly, they are most powerful when put in place before the need for them arrives.
Stated simply, articulating and then following prudent fiscal policies is the most effective and proven way for the City to ensure its long -term fiscal health. The City’s Budget and Fiscal policies are included in the Appendix of the Budget document.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
General Fund Revenues
Projections generally assume continued recovery in all key General Fund revenues.
Sources used in developing General Fund revenue projections include:
• Long and short-term trends in key City revenues and expenditures. • Economic trends as reported in the national media.
• State and regional economic forecasts prepared by the University of California, Los Angeles; California Economic Forecast; and Beacon Economics. • Economic and fiscal information
developed by the State Legislative
Analyst’s Office (LAO), State
Department of Finance, and State
Controller.
• Fiscal and legislative anal ysis by
the League of California Cities.
• Analysis by the City’s sales tax
advisor (HdL).
Ultimately, the General Fund revenue
projections reflect our best judgment
about the performance of the state
and local economy and how that will
affect General Fund revenues.
Top Four Revenues. The following describes the assumptions for the General Fund’s top four revenues, which account for over 50% of total revenues: general property taxes, VLF swap property taxes, general sales tax and Measure X sales tax. 226 to 554
• General and VLF swap property tax. These revenue sources are driven by changes in assessed value. Both are projected to grow moderately in 2023- 24 from 2022 -23 estimates: general property tax by 1.1% and VLF swap property tax by 1.4%.
• General sales tax. This is based on 2023- 24 projections by the City’s sales tax advisor (HdL), reflecting a 5.9% increase from 2022-23 estimates.
• Measure X sales tax . The City’s sales tax advisor also developed the 2023 -24 projections. the revenue base in 2022 -23 of $2.1 million was significantly impacted by this work. For context, revenues in 2021 -22 before this work were $3.3 million, comparable to the $3.1 million estimated for 2023-24.
Grant Revenues. These play a larger role than usual in funding General Fund operating programs. This is driven by the one -time use of ARPA grants to fund the start -up costs of transitioning from the Kern County Sheriff contract for police services to a City -operated Police Department. A number of grant-funded capital projects will also kick-off in FY 23-24, adding to these revenues.
General Fund Operating Costs
As noted above, the most significant
change in operating costs is the
transition to a City -operated Police
Department. The 2023 -24 Budget fully
funds the annual operating cost of City -
delivered Police services of $6.0 million.
This reflects the addition of 23 staff (13
sworn and 10 non -sworn). These are the
only regular staff additions in 2023-24.
In funding the transition, the Budget also
includes one-time costs of $3.1 million for
seven months of contracting for Sheriff
contract operations.
Except for limited circumstances where new funding is required in preserving essential services, departments have “held the line” in their requests, with budgets in some cases at current levels or low er. Summaries of significant operating cost changes – both up and down – are included in the Department/Division budget narratives for the General Fund as well as other funds. As noted above, other than supporting the new City Police Department, there are no other regular staff additions.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The City prepares a separate, comprehensive five- year CIP document that provides the following information for each project.
• Project description
• Justification
• Graphic of the project or its location
227 to 554
• Goal and policy links
• Project cost by phase: study, design, environmental review, acquisition, construction, construction management
• Project funding source(s)
The CIP also provides a summary of all projects by type and funding source, which is provided in the CIP section of the Budget. The first year of the CIP is adopted with the operating budget.
Ambitious program for improvements. In alignment with the Council’s high-priority goal for 2023-24 for improving and maintaining infrastructure and facilities, the CIP presents an ambitious program of improvements for 2023 -24 and next the four years, summarized as by funding source and category as follows:

Enterprise Funds
As the Council is aware, the City’s three major enterprise funds – wastewater, water, and sanitation – were facing major fiscal challenges in aligning revenues with needed operating and capital costs in delivering these essential services.

CIP needs of these three enterprise operations. The Council approved multi -year funding strategies for each relying on the use of strong working capital balances and rate increases to fund needed operating and CIP needs. These strategies are reflect ed in the revenues, expenditures, and changes in working capital for these funds.
SUMMARY
The preparation of the Annual Operating Budget and the CIP is truly a collaborative effort.
I am proud of this achievement and the effort from all the Department He ads and their staff. Special recognition goes to our employees for continuing to work hard and serve the citizens of our community with a high level of public service, despite challenging circumstances.
While there are significant challenges ahead, we believe the Budget navigates them in a prudent and fiscally responsible manner.
Lastly, it is through the support of the City Council that staff is able to advance quality service, innovation, and leadership in the community: that support is greatly appreciated.
NEXT STEPS
With Council’s adoption of the 2023- 24 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program Budget, staff will prepare and distribute a final version reflecting the changes from the Preliminary Budget. Along with printed distribution, both Budget books will also be published on the City’s website.

In 1898, the San Francisco and San Joaquin
Valley Railroad established a depot some 25
miles northwest of Bakersfield and named it
Dewey, then later Deweyville, in honor of
Admiral George Dewey, a hero in the Spanish
American War.
1898
A post office was established in October of 1899 with the rail agent, Arthur Weaber, serving as postmaster. The
opening of the post office led to the discovery that
another town called Dewey already existed and a year
later the name of the little village was changed to Wasco.
Some say it means “hot” which would be appropriate
given the climate of the region, but it may also mean “a large body of water” or even “a cup or small bowl made
of bone.”

The Wasco Colony was founded in 1907 through
the efforts of the Kern County Board of Trade.
The Board of Trade persuaded M.U. Hartcraft,
head of a Los Angeles based land agency called
the California Home Extension Association, to
purchase nine sections of land from the Kern
County Land Company for development.
The community’s first church was organized, along with King Lumber Company and the Wasco Improvement Club.
The first edition of the Wasco News was published by
John L. Gill on November 11, 1911.
Agriculture has always been Wasco’s primary economic base. In 1916, long white potatoes, destined to be the root of Wasco’s economy, were planted. Cotton was introduced in 1918.
In 1919, the American Legion organized Wasco’s first volunteer fire department.
1945
The matter lay dormant for the next twenty years and it would be December of 1945 before Wasco voters consented to
incorporation and the formation of a municipal government.

COUNCIL GOALS
The Budget process began with Council goal-setting in April 2023. Along with an assessment of departmental strengths, weakness, opportunities and strengths, the Council set top goals for 2023-24 organized into seven major categories:
Enhance Financial Stability and Sustainability
Continue the tradition of prudent budgeting and responsible use of public funds for the short-term and long-term, strategic well-being of the community.
Enhance and Modernize City Facilities.
Seek funding and opportunities to update all City Buildings and facilities to support community services growth and to provide a safe and efficient work environment for City employees.
Improve and Maintain City Infrastructure
Implement a systematic program of repair, maintenance and replacement of vital City roads, pipelines, and facilities to ensure consistent availability of utilities and services.
Implement Strategic Economic Development
Research and execute business development and recruitment activities to build the City’s employment and financial base.
Enhance Employee Development and Retention
Encourage on-going job skill development and career opportunities for all City employees through competitive compensation, formal training, departmental cross-training and adoption of best practices.
Define and Prioritize Community Building Initiatives.
Work closely with our residents, business owners, schools, other governmental districts, faith-based organizations and service groups to promote a united community with common vision and goals.
Public Safety
Complete the Wasco Police Department start-up and transition with KCSO. Establish new practices and community involvement to ensure Wasco is a safe and secure place to live, work and do business.
The commitment to these goals is reflected throughout the Budget, most notably in the Capital Improvement Program in addressing sust ainable infrastructure. However, the oper ating programs also address these issues, as outlined in the objectives and significant operating cost changes in each of Departments/Divisions.

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
The Preliminary 2023-24 Budget responds to the challenges facing the City in recovering from the adverse economic and fiscal circumstances resulting from Covid-19 as well as new challenges resulting from mixed economic messages from inflationary pressures and possible recession. However, while these impacts are uncertain, the Budget assumes continued recovery. Moreover, the City
enters into these difficult times with unique strengths compared with many other cities in California.
Given these challenges and uncertainties, the Budget is based on the following key principles:
Is fiscally responsible and balanced in meeting the
significant challenges ahead of us.
Preserves essential services, recognizing that
delivery methods may change. This includes day-to-
day operating services as well as adequately
maintaining existing infrastructure and facilities.
Reflects Council goal-setting from the March 4, 2023
workshop, consistent with the fiscal constraints
facing us and remaining nimble with changing
circumstances, opportunities and realities. In short,
the Budget is the “guidebook” for achieving the
goals set by the Council. This is reflected in the
ambitious Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and
Department objectives.
ECONOMIC AND FISCAL CHALLENGES AHEAD
For the last two years, the major fiscal threat facing the City was uncertain recovery from the Covid-19
pandemic. With the wide availability of vaccines, the
public health crisis appears over (the State emergency declaration was recently rescinded) and current trends reflect recovery.
But there are mixed signals. While Covid-19 impacts may be behind us, new economic challenges have surfaced in its wake: rising inflation with fears of recession.
Budget Purpose
The City of Wasco’s annual budget is a
guidebook for achieving the goals for the
year set by the Council during an annual
strategic planning process. Its primary
purpose is to link goals with the
resources needed to achieve them. The
Budget serves as a:
Policy document setting forth goals
and objectives to be accomplished
and articulates fundamental
principles upon which budget is
prepared.
Fiscal plan identifying and
appropriating public resources.
Operations guide describing basic
organizational units and activities of
the city.
Communications tool providing the
community with a blueprint of how
public resources are being used.
DRAFT
20 251 to 554
Rising inflation. While initially believed to be short-term by many leading economists, inflation continues to be high by recent standards.
Annual CPI Rate Change by Month: Last 5 Years as of April 2023 Following long-term trends of about 2% before Covid-19, inflation peaked at 9.1% in May 2022 (the highest rate in forty years) due to high demand for limited supplies: supply chain shortages persist; and gasoline prices have surged with limited supplies from new refinery formulation mandates and the war in Ukraine. This in turn resulted in increasing interest rates. However, as supply chain issues improve and gasoline prices stabilize, inflation rates have steadily declined, with inflation at about 5% in April 2023.
Many economists predict continuing declines. For example, Statista projects that inflation will decline to pre-Covid-19 levels of about 2% by 2024.
Projected

21 252 to 554
But there are notable strengths. While interest rates are rising, they are still low by historical standards. And the housing market remains strong.
Moreover, employment trends are also favorable. Nationally, while unemployment rose sharply during the Covid-19 pandemic (peaking at 14%), this has been followed by strong decreases since then. Unemployment has fallen to historic lows of about 3.5% over the past 14 months.
U.S. Monthly Unemployment Rate: Last 5 Years as of April 2023 This strong labor market is also reflected in monthly job growth:
U.S. Monthly Jobs Growth: Last 12 Months
This reflects steady job growth for the past 28 consecutive months.
And the markets reflect this “yin and yang” of inflation by consistent, strong employment performance in the face of recessionary fears. The Standard and Poor’s’ 500 Index (S&P 500) is a widely-accepted measure of overall stock market performance. The following presents its performance over the past five years.
DRAFT
22 253 to 554
S&P 500 Index: Last 5 Years
The market roller coaster ride - Short Story:
Its peak before Covid-19 was 3,380.
It fell to its lowest point of 2,305 in March 2020, increasing to its peak of 4,766 in December 2021. Mixed results since then. However, at 4,339 in June 2023, it is still up by 28% since its pre-Covid peak.
Impact on 2023-24 Financial Condition. These mixed messages lead to uncertainty about our fiscal outlook. That said, current trends are favorable. And accordingly, key General Fund revenues show continued but moderate growth.
Challenges Ahead but Begin with Key Strengths
As discussed above, while the City is facing an uncertain fiscal future, it does so with significant strengths:
Starts with a balanced budget. The City begins with a balanced budget: it is not scrambling to close past deficits.
“Clean” (unqualified) audited financial statements. The City has a long history of receiving clean audits. No unfunded retiree health care obligations. This is a significant fiscal-health factor for the City. To put the potential impact of unfunded retiree health costs in perspective compared with other agencies, for the State of California, its unfunded retiree health care liabilities are larger than its unfunded pension obligations. No General Fund debt obligations. The City begins 2023-24 with no General Fund debt service obligations. Strong General Fund reserves. The unassigned General Fund balance is projected to end 2023-24 with 47% of operating expenditures, compared with the City’s minimum policy target of 35%. (Note that $9.3 million continues to be “assigned” for the Labor Housing Complex project. As noted below, the High-Speed Rail Authority has committed to funding this cost. The Agreement to cover the cost of cleaning up the Labor Housing Complex has been executed. However, this is a reimbursement arrangement. Significant funds will be expended as work proceeds.
Clear budget and fiscal policies. These provide the City with an essential foundation for effective financial decision-making and in protecting the City’s fiscal health, in both the short and long-term. Included in the Budget document, they cover a broad range of areas, including budget purpose and organization; revenue management; minimum fund balance and reserves; financial reporting and budget administration; and capital financing and debt management; CIP management; and human resources management. Long-standing tradition of responsible financial management and prudent stewardship of community assets. This core value will serve the City well in meeting the challenges ahead in a fiscally responsible way that preserves essential services.

COUNCIL BUDGET REVIEW
The following summarizes the Council budget review process, with adoption scheduled for June 20, 2023.
Date Purpose
February 21 Mid-Year Budget Review
March 4 Strategic Planning Workshop: Council goal-setting May 25 Budget Workshop
June 13 Preliminary Budget Issuance
June 20 Continued Budget Review and Adoption
Appropriations Limit Adoption
ALIGNMENT WITH COUNCIL GOALS
As reflected above, the Budget process began with the mid-year review in February and the Council goal-setting on March 4, 2023. As set forth in the side-bar, the Council set goals for 2023-24 organized into five major themes:
Public Safety
Infrastructure (Facilities, Water, Street Repairs,
Telecommunications)
Code Enforcement
Community and Local Business Gathering Places
Community and Greenspace Beautification
The commitment to these goals is reflected throughout the Budget, most notably in two areas:
Public Safety. Transitioning away from contracting with the County Sheriff and implementing a City-operated
Police Department.
Infrastructure and Facilities. Implementing an ambitious CIP in addressing infrastructure and facility needs.
Other operating programs also address these top
“themes” as outlined in the objectives and significant operating cost changes in each of Departments/Divisions.
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
As noted above, budget and fiscal policies provide an essential foundation for effective financial decision-making and in protecting the City’s fiscal health, in both the short and long-term. They are the City’s “north star” in guiding the preparation and implementation of budgets and financial plans. They help make tough decisions easier by stating our organizational values before they are placed under stress by adverse circumstances. The City may choose to do something different – effective policies are guides, not straightjackets – but they are a powerful starting point: but for “this,” the City should do what?
They are both preventative and curative: clearly articulated policies help prevent problems from arising in the good Goal-Setting Process

times; and help respond to bad times when they do occur. They also help provide financial management continuity as elected officials and staff change. Lastly, they are most powerful when put in place before the need for them arrives.
Stated simply, articulating and then following prudent fiscal policies is the most effective and proven way for the City to ensure its long-term fiscal health. The City’s Budget and Fiscal policies are included in the Appendix of the Budget document.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
General Fund Revenues
Projections generally assume continued
recovery in all key General Fund revenues.
Sources used in developing General Fund
revenue projections include:
Long and short-term trends in key City
revenues and expenditures.
Economic trends as reported in the national
media.
State and regional economic forecasts
prepared by the University of California,
Los Angeles; California Economic
Forecast; and Beacon Economics.
Economic and fiscal information developed
by the State Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO), State Department of Finance and State Controller. Fiscal and legislative analysis by the League of California Cities. Analysis by the City’s sales tax advisor (HdL).
Ultimately, the General Fund revenue projections reflect our best judgment about the performance of the state and local economy and how that will affect General Fund revenues.
Top Four Revenues. The following describes the assumptions for the General Fund’s top four revenues, which account for over 50% of total revenues: general property taxes, VLF swap property taxes, general sales tax and Measure X sales tax.
General and VLF swap property tax. These revenue sources are driven by changes in assessed value. Both are projected to grow moderately in 2023-24 from 2022-23 estimates: general property tax by 1.1% and VLF swap property tax by 1.4%.
General sales tax. This is based on 2023-24 projections by the City’s sales tax advisor (HdL), reflecting a 5.9% increase from 2022-23 estimates.
Measure X sales tax. The City’s sales tax advisor also developed the 2023-24 projections. the revenue base in 2022-23 of $2.1 million was significantly impacted by this work. For context, revenues in 2021-22 before this work were $3.3 million, comparable to the $3.1 million estimated for 2023-24.

Grant Revenues. These play a larger role than usual in funding General Fund operating programs. This is driven by the one-time use of ARPA grants to fund the start-up costs of transitioning from the Kern County Sheriff contract for police services to a City-operated Police Department. A number of grant-funded capital projects will also kick-off in FY 23-24, adding to these revenues.
General Fund Operating Costs
As noted above, the most significant change in
operating costs is the transition to a City-
operated Police Department. The 2023-24
Budget fully funds the annual operating cost of
City-delivered Police services of $6.0 million. This
reflects the addition of 23 staff (13 sworn and 10
non-sworn). These are the only regular staff
additions in 2023-24.
In funding the transition, the Budget also includes
one-time costs of $3.1 million for seven months
of contracting for Sheriff contract operations.
Except for limited circumstances where new
funding is required in preserving essential services, departments have “held the line” in their requests, with budgets in some cases at current levels or lower. Summaries of significant operating cost changes – both up and down – are included in the Department/Division budget narratives for the General Fund as well as other funds. As noted above, other than supporting the new City Police Department, there are no other regular staff additions.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The City prepares a separate, comprehensive five-year CIP document that provides the following information for each project.
Project description

Goal and policy links
Project cost by phase: study, design, environmental review, acquisition, construction, construction management
Project funding source(s)
The CIP also provides a summary of all projects by type and funding source, which is provided in CIP section of the Budget. The first year of the CIP is adopted with the operating budget.
Ambitious program for improvements. In alignment with the Council’s high-priority goal for 2023-24 for improving and maintaining infrastructure and facilities, the CIP presents an ambitious program of improvements for 2023-24 and next the four years, summarized as by funding source and category as follows:

Enterprise Funds
As the Council is aware, the City’s three major enterprise funds – wastewater, water and sanitation – were facing major fiscal challenges in aligning revenues with needed operating and capital costs in delivering these essential services. During 2022-23, the Council considered comprehensive, long-term reviews of the operating, debt service and CIP needs of these three enterprise operations. The Council approved multi-year funding strategies for each relying on the use of strong working capital balances and rate increases to fund needed operating and CIP needs.
These strategies are reflected in the revenues, expenditures and changes in working capital for these funds.
SUMMARY
The preparation of the Annual Operating Budget and the CIP is truly a collaborative effort. I am proud of this achievement and the effort from all the Department Heads and their staff. Special recognition goes to our employees for continuing to work hard and serve the citizens of our community with a high level of public service, despite challenging circumstances.

GUIDE TO READING AND UNDERSTANDING THE BUDGET
BUDGET PURPOSE
What is an annual budget?
The City of Wasco’s annual budget is essentially a guidebook for achieving the goals for the year set by the Council during an annual strategic planning process. Its primary purpose is to link goals with the resources needed to achieve them. The Council's goals for the fiscal year can be found in the “Budget Message” at the beginning of this document. The budget is based on a fiscal year that runs from July 1 of one year to June 30 of the following year.
Wasco’s budget is not just a compilation of expenses and income for the year but also paints a comprehensive picture of the direction the City is taking as an organization on behalf of the community. As recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA), the Budget’s organization and content are designed to achieve four key goals:
Policy document. Sets forth goals and objectives to be accomplished and articulates fundamental principles upon which budget is prepared.
Fiscal plan. Identifies and appropriates public resources. Operations guide. Describes basic organizational units and activities of the City. Communications tool. Provides the community with a blueprint of how public resources are being used.
BUDGET ORGANIZATION
How is the budget laid out?
In meeting the budget goals above, Wasco’s budget is designed to provide complicated financial information about the City in an easy-to-read format. To do this, the Budget is organized into six main sections:
Introduction (which includes the “Budget Message” highlighting key fiscal issues) City-Wide Financial Summaries
Fund Financial Schedules
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Summary
Authorized Staffing
Appendix
The following describes each of these sections.
Introduction
The Introduction section begins with the Budget Message from the City Manager to the Council that sets forth the key fiscal issues facing the City and how the Budget responds to them. It also outlines top Council goals for the year and provides a general overview of the Budget. The Budget Message is followed by Measure X uses; budget and fiscal policies; this guide to reading and understanding the budget; a listing of key City officials and advisory bodies; and an organization chart.

BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
Budget and fiscal policies provide an essential foundation for effective financial decision-making and in protecting the City’s fiscal health, in both the short and long-term. They are the City’s “north star” in guiding the preparation and implementation of budgets and financial plans. They help make tough decisions easier by stating our organizational values before they are placed under stress by adverse circumstances. The City may choose to do something different – effective policies are guides, not straightjackets – but they are a powerful starting point: but for “this,” the City should do what?
They are both preventative and curative: clearly articulated policies help prevent problems from arising in the good times; and help respond to bad times when they do occur. They also help provide financial management continuity as elected officials and staff change. Lastly, they are most powerful when it put in place before the need for them arrives.
Stated simply, articulating and then following prudent fiscal policies is the most effective and proven way for the City to ensure its long-term fiscal health.
Each policy is followed by a summary of the City’s compliance status with the policy goal.
BUDGET PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION
A. Balanced Budget. The City will maintain a balanced budget. This means that:
1. Operating revenues should fully cover operating expenditures, including debt service.
2. Ending fund balance/working capital must meet minimum policy levels or other target levels established by the Council for the fiscal year.
Under this policy, it is allowable for total expenditures to exceed revenues in a given year; however, in this situation, beginning fund balance should only be used to fund capital improvement plan projects or other “one-time,” non-recurring expenditures. (See Fund Balance and Reserves policy for other circumstances when it would be appropriate to use beginning fund balance.)
B. Budget Objectives. Through its Budget, the City will link resources with goals and results by:
1. Identifying community needs for essential services.
2. Organizing the programs required to provide these essential services.
3. Describing programs and activities performed in delivering services.
4. Proposing objectives for improving the delivery of program services.
5. Identifying and appropriating the resources required to perform program activities and accomplish program objectives.
Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing high quality municipal services, recognizing the fundamental importance to the citizens of public safety and properly maintained infrastructure.
C. Measurable Objectives. The Budget will establish measurable program objectives and allow reasonable time to accomplish those objectives.
D. Goal Status Reports. The status of major program objectives will be formally reported to the Council on an ongoing, periodic basis.
DRAFT
32 263 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
E. Adequate Maintenance of Existing Assets. The budget will provide sufficient funding for adequate maintenance and orderly replacement of capital plant and equipment. Future maintenance needs for all new capital facilities will be fully costed out and added costs will be recognized and included in future year budget projections.
F. Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. The City will maintain a long-range fiscal perspective through the use of a five-year Capital Improvement Plan.
G. Continued Commitment to Customer Service and Productivity Improvements. Strong customer service and productivity improvements, with a focus on value added services, remain important budgetary goals. Consistent with this goal, the City will strive to pay competitive market level compensation to its employees.
H. Mid-Year Budget Reviews. The Council will formally review the City’s fiscal condition, and amend appropriations if necessary, six months after the beginning of each fiscal year.
Status: In Compliance. These practices are either in place or the Council has adopted a budget process and document for 2023-24 that meets these policy objectives. However, linking resources to outcomes and measuring performance will always be a work in progress, with ongoing improvements.
REVENUE MANAGEMENT
A. Current Revenues for Current Uses; One-Time Revenues for One-Time Purposes. The City will make all current expenditures with current revenues, avoiding procedures that balance current budgets by postponing needed expenditures, accruing future revenues or rolling over short-term debt. The City will avoid using one-time revenues to fund ongoing program costs.
B. Revenue Distribution. The Council recognizes that generally accepted accounting principles for state and local governments discourage the “earmarking” of General Fund revenues, and accordingly, the practice of designating General Fund revenues for specific programs should be minimized in the City's management of its fiscal affairs. In those cases where it does occur, the basis and methodology for earmarking should be clearly articulated in the City’s Budget and Fiscal Policies.
C. Grant Management. Intergovernmental assistance in the form of grants and loans will be used to finance only:
1. Capital improvements that are consistent with the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) priorities and can be maintained and operated over time.
2. Technological upgrades or enhancements.
3. Capital acquisition items.
4. Operating programs which either can be sustained over time or have a limited horizon.
5. Other areas as determined by the Council to be in the best interest of the City.
D. Enterprise Fund Fees and Rates. All fees and charges for each enterprise fund (such as Water, Wastewater and Sanitation) will be set at a level that fully supports the direct and indirect costs of the enterprise, including operations, maintenance, capital improvements and debt service, as well as meet any debt service coverage requirements set forth in related bond covenants.
E. Internal Service Funds. All internal service funds will have revenues (intra-City user charges, interest earnings and other income) sufficient to meet all operating and capital expenses. Such revenues shall also be sufficient to maintain minimum reserve targets.
DRAFT
33 264 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
Status: In Compliance. These practices are either in place or the Council has adopted a budget process and document for 2023-24 that meets these policy objectives.
MINIMUM FUND BALANCE AND RESERVES
Section 1: Policy
A. Policy Overview. This policy accomplishes two main goals. First, it sets forth specific levels of minimum unassigned fund balance to be maintained for the City's General Fund and a minimum level of available working capital for the City's Water, Wastewater and Sanitation enterprise funds. Secondly, this policy establishes a framework and process for the City to follow if these reserve levels fall below the established minimum.
This Policy provides guidelines for fiscal sustainability through maintaining adequate operational liquidity and should be used in preparing the City's Annual Operating Budget, Capital Improvement Program, and general financial management of the City. It recognizes the need for exceptions in extraordinary conditions and unforeseeable events while maintaining a goal and path to regain fiscal sustainability when necessary.
This policy is also intended to follow best practices and industry standards, including those issued by the Governmental Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) in setting reserve levels that adequately address risks such as:
1. Economic uncertainties, local disasters, public heath crises and other financial hardships or downturns in the local or national economy.
2. Contingencies for unseen operating or capital needs.
3. Unfunded liabilities such as pensions.
4. Institutional changes, such as State budget takeaways and unfunded mandates.
5. Cash flow requirements.
B. Objectives. The purpose of this policy is to assist the City in the pursuit of the following equally important objectives:
1. Maintain long-term fiscal sustainability of the General, Water, Wastewater and Sanitation Funds.
2. Meet the short-term liquidity needs of the General, Water, Wastewater and Sanitation Funds.
3. Cultivate a fiscally responsible internal control environment.
4. Help achieve the highest possible credit ratings and lowest possible financing costs when borrowing funds.
C. Budget Integration and Financial Management. The City's Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan should be developed to comply and implement the various aspects of this policy. This includes but is not limited to both the budgeted use of excess unassigned fund balance or available working capital and the rebuilding of the same as needed to maintain compliance with the minimum reserve levels established herein.
Any areas of shortfall or otherwise non-compliance with the minimum reserve levels contained within this policy should be disclosed in the City Annual Operating Budget document and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, including a response from management on what actions are being taken to bring the City back into compliance with the policy.
DRAFT
34 265 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
Section 2: Minimum Balances
The following amounts are established as the minimum unassigned fund balance for the City's General Fund and minimum available working capital for the City's major utility enterprise funds.
A. General Fund. At the end of each fiscal year, the General Fund should have a minimum unassigned fund balance of at least 35% of operating and debt service expenditures. This represents about 120 days of General Fund operating cash flow and is conservatively based on the risk assessment methodology for setting reserve levels developed by the GFOA.
B. Water, Wastewater and Sanitation Funds. The City operates three major utility enterprise funds: water, wastewater and sanitation, which provide essential public services that are paid for by users of these services. Maintaining adequate liquidity in these funds is an essential factor in the City's ability to provide these services without interruption. Accordingly, at the end of each fiscal year the City should have a minimum available working capital balance (current assets less current liabilities, minus amounts designated for funding capital projects or other purposes) in each of these enterprise funds at equal or more than 35% unassigned fund balance. This represents about 120 days of working capital.
This minimum available working capital balance should be factored into all future user rate studies used to establish utility user rates for these three funds.
C. Internal Service Funds. The City’s internal service funds shall maintain working capital of at least 60 days of operating expenditures.
D. Taking Reserves Below Minimum Policy Levels. There are circumstances where intentionally taking reserves below the established policy levels would be appropriate in responding to the risks that reserves are intended to mitigate and are not considered a violation of this policy. These include one-time uses such as:
1. Making investments in human resources, technology, economic development, productivity improvements and other strategies that will reduce future costs or increase future revenue sources.
2. Reducing ongoing expenditures through the partial or full refinancing of unfunded long-term liabilities.
3. Closing short-term revenue/expenditure gaps.
4. Responding to unexpected expenditure requirements or revenue shortfalls.
5. Meeting one-time cash flow needs as well as normal cash flow needs during the year.
6. Where a forecast shows an ongoing structural gap, providing a strategic bridge to the future.
Any intentional use of reserves that reduces reserve levels below the minimum policy levels shall be specifically approved by the City Council.
Section 3: Other Assignments/Commitments
A. Future Capital Project or Other Long-Term Goal Assignments or Commitments. The Council may also commit or assign specific General Fund balance levels above the reserve target for future development of capital projects, unfunded liabilities or other long-term goals that it determines to be in the best interests of the City.
B. Other Commitments and Assignments. In addition to the 35% target noted above, unrestricted fund balance levels will be sufficient to meet funding requirements for programs or projects approved in prior years which are carried forward into DRAFT
35 266 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
the new year; debt service reserve requirements; commitments for encumbrances; and other restrictions, commitments or assignments required by contractual obligations, state law or generally accepted accounting principles.
Section 4: Correcting Balances Below the Minimum Balance Whenever the City's Funds with established minimum balances per this policy fall below these minimal levels, the City will strive to restore these balances to the minimum level within five-years. Some actions that may be considered to rectify this situation include the following:
A. General Fund
1. Strategically reducing general fund operating budgets.
2. Updating and improving the City's economic development strategy.
3. Assessing workload and staffing levels to ensure appropriate staffing of General Fund operations, redeploy staffing if necessary.
4. Conduct a revenue study to update General Fund revenue sources that may have fallen behind.
5. Conduct an analysis of General Fund cost allocation to plan to ensure other City funds are paying the appropriate fees for the General Fund services they receive.
6. Identify special revenues or other funds that can help support the General Fund.
B. Water, Wastewater and Sanitation Funds
1. Strategically reduce operations budgets.
2. Initiate a user rate analysis and implement rate changes as needed.
3. Analyze existing debt and possible refinancing options to reduce existing debt service cost.
4. Defer non-essential capital improvement projects until adequate funding can be secured through rate increases, grants or debt issuance.
As revenues versus expenditures improve, the City will allocate at least half to reserve restoration, with the balance available to fund asset replacements, unfunded liabilities, capital improvement projects, service level restorations or new operating programs.
Section 5: Use of Balances Exceeding the Minimum Balance At times, the City may find itself with unassigned General Fund balances and/or available working capital in the Water, Wastewater and Sanitation funds that exceed the minimums established by this policy. This policy does not require or recommend that those additional reserve funds be spent down but it does establish the following guidelines regarding the potential use of those funds.
A. Excess reserve funds are not to be used for new or existing recurring expenses except on a short-term basis.
DRAFT
36 267 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
B. Investment of these funds on a longer-term basis, in compliance with the City's Investment Policy, should be considered to provide an ongoing source of recurring investment income for the City.
C. Assignment or use of these funds should be considered for early partial or full retirement of existing debt or other unfunded long-term liabilities.
D. A review of the one-time capital improvements needed within the City should be considered to identify and prioritize potential capital projects. Once potential projects have been identified, assignment or use of these funds should be considered for these one-time capital improvement projects.
Status: In Progress. After assigning $9.3 million for potential labor housing complex demolition and site clean-up costs, the projected unassigned General Fund balance at June 30, 2024 is 47% of operating expenditures. Consistent with the City’s policy, the goal is to restore reserves to policy levels with the next five years.
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND BUDGET ADMINISTRATION
A. Annual Reporting. The City will prepare annual financial statements as follows:
1. In accordance with best practices and industry standards, the City will contract for an annual audit by a qualified independent certified public accountant. The City will strive for an unqualified auditors’ opinion.
2. The City will use generally accepted accounting principles in preparing its annual financial statements and will strive to meet the requirements of the GFOA’s Award for Excellence in Financial Reporting program.
3. The City will issue audited financial statements within 180 days after year-end.
B. Interim Reporting. The City will prepare and issue timely interim reports on the City’s fiscal status to the Council and staff. This includes on-line access to the City’s financial management system; monthly reports to program managers; more formal quarterly reports to the Council and Department Heads; mid-year budget reviews; and interim annual reports.
C. Budget Administration. The Council may amend or supplement the budget at any time after its adoption by majority vote of the Council members. Council approval is required for all new appropriations from fund balance/working capital.
The City Manager has the authority to make administrative adjustments to the budget as long as those changes will not have a significant policy impact nor affect budgeted year-end fund balances.
D. Agenda Report Review. A Fiscal Impact Statement will be provided with each staff report submitted to the Council as part of the agenda packet.
Status: In Compliance. These practices are in place.
CAPITAL FINANCING AND DEBT MANAGEMENT
A. Capital Financing
1. The City will consider the use of debt financing only for one-time capital improvement projects and only under the following circumstances:
a. When the project’s useful life will exceed the term of the financing. b. When project revenues or specific resources will be sufficient to service the long-term debt.
2. Debt financing will not be considered appropriate for any recurring purpose such as current operating and maintenance expenditures. The issuance of short-term instruments such as revenue, tax or bond anticipation notes is excluded from this limitation.
DRAFT
37 268 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
3. Capital improvements will be financed primarily through user fees, service charges, assessments, special taxes or developer agreements when benefits can be specifically attributed to users of the facility. Accordingly, development impact fees should be created and implemented at levels sufficient to ensure that new development pays its fair share of the cost of constructing necessary community facilities.
4. While development impact fees can be a major funding source in financing capital project improvements, revenues from these fees are subject to significant fluctuation based on the rate of new development. Accordingly, the following guidelines will be followed in designing and building projects funded with development impact fees:
a. The availability of impact fees in funding a specific project will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis as bid specifications or contract awards are submitted for approval. b. If adequate funds are not available at that time, the Council will make one of two determinations:
Defer the project until funds are available.
Based on the high-priority of the project, advance funds from the General Fund or appropriate enterprise fund, which will be reimbursed as soon as funds become available. Repayment of advances should be the first use of development impact fee funds when they become available.
5. The City will use the following criteria to evaluate pay-as-you-go versus long-term financing in funding capital improvements:
Factors Favoring Pay-As-You-Go Financing
a. Current revenues and adequate fund balances are available or project phasing can be accomplished. b. Existing debt levels adversely affect the City's credit rating. c. Market conditions are unstable or present difficulties in marketing.
Factors Favoring Long Term Financing
d. Revenues available for debt service are deemed sufficient and reliable so that long-term financings can be marketed with investment grade credit ratings.
e. The project securing the financing is of the type that will support an investment grade credit rating. f. Market conditions present favorable interest rates and demand for City financings. g. A project is mandated by state or federal requirements, and resources are insufficient or unavailable. h. It is a high-priority that is immediately required to meet or relieve service or capacity needs and current resources are insufficient or unavailable.
B. Budget Integration and Policy Links
The decision to incur new indebtedness should be integrated with the adopted Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). While CIP projects may surface independently from the budget process, they will typically be an integral of the adopted CIP. Moreover, projects in the CIP typically have strong policy links to the General Plan, Special Plans, adopted facility or infrastructure plans and other policy documents. Annual debt service requirements will be included in the Operating Budget.

BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
D. Sources of Capital Financing
1. Cash Funding. The City funds a significant portion of its CIP on a “pay-as-you-go” basis. As part of a “pay as you go” strategy, the City will first look for grant funding for capital projects.
2. Interfund Borrowing. The City may borrow internally from other funds with surplus cash instead of issuing bonded debt. The purpose of interfund borrowing is to finance high priority needs and reduce costs of interest, debt issuance and/or administration. Purposes warranting the use of this type of borrowing could include short-term cash flow imbalances due to grant terms, interim financing pending the issuance of bonds or long-term financing in lieu of bonds. The City funds from which the money is borrowed shall be repaid with interest based upon the earning rate of the City’s investment pool. The Finance Director shall also exercise due diligence to ensure that it is financially prudent for the Fund making the loan. Interfund loans will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Any borrowing between two City funds which exceeds 24 months requires a repayment schedule approved by the Council.
3. Bank Loans, Lines of Credit and Direct Placements. While not a common method of financing capital projects, financial institution credit or other direct placements may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis where the advantages over other methods are compelling.
4. State and Federal Loans. The City will evaluate State and Federal loan programs, including but not limited to loans such as the State Water Resources Control Board’s revolving fund loans for the construction of water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
5. Other Loan Programs. The City may consider other loan programs on a case-by-case basis where the advantages over other methods are compelling.
6. Equipment Lease Purchase Agreements. The City may consider lease-purchase agreements for long-lived assets such as backhoes and trash trucks.
7. Bond Financing. The City may issue any bonds that are allowed under federal and state law, including but not limited to general obligation bonds, certificates of participation, revenue bonds, lease-revenue bonds, assessment district bonds and special tax bonds.
While conduit financings do not constitute a general obligation of the issuer, the same level of due diligence prior to bond issuance is required as outlined Section F below. The City will consider requests for assessment or special tax district formation on a case-by-case basis as outlined in Section G below.
E. Joint Powers Authority (JPA).In addition to the long and short-term financing instruments described above, the City may also consider joint arrangements with other governmental agencies when a project serves the public interest beyond City boundaries.
F. Debt Management
1. The City will not obligate the General Fund to secure long-term financings except when marketability can be significantly enhanced.
2. An internal feasibility analysis will be prepared for each long-term financing which analyzes the impact on current and future budgets for debt service and operations. This analysis will also address the reliability of revenues to support debt service.
3. The City will generally conduct financings on a competitive basis. However, negotiated financings may be used due to market volatility or the use of an unusual or complex financing or security structure.
DRAFT
39 270 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
4. The City’s financing team (such as financial advisor, bond counsel and trustee) will typically be selected through a competitive request for proposal (RFP) process for a multi-year, program-based term in providing ongoing advice and understanding of City needs.
5. The City will seek an investment grade rating (Baa/BBB or greater) on any direct debt and will seek credit enhancements such as letters of credit or insurance when necessary for marketing purposes, availability and cost- effectiveness.
6. The City will monitor all forms of debt annually coincident with the City's Budget preparation and review process and report concerns and remedies, if needed, to the Council.
7. The City will diligently monitor its compliance with bond covenants and ensure its adherence to federal arbitrage regulations.
8. The City will maintain good, ongoing communications with bond rating agencies about its financial condition. The City will follow a policy of full disclosure on every financial report and bond prospectus (Official Statement).
9. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the City internal control procedures, the Finance Director is responsible for ensuring bond proceeds are spent for the intended purposes identified in the bond documents and that the proceeds are spent in the time frames identified in the tax certificate prepared by the City’s bond counsel.
10. For any applicable debt issued after January 2017, the City will file annual debt transparency reports with the California Debt and Investments Advisory Commission in accordance State Government Code Section 8855.
G. Debt Capacity
1. General Purpose Debt Capacity. The City will carefully monitor its levels of general-purpose debt. Because the City’s general purpose debt capacity is limited, it is important that general purpose debt financing is only used for high-priority projects where the City cannot reasonably use other financing methods for two key reasons:
a. Funds borrowed for a project today are not available to fund other projects tomorrow. b. Funds committed for debt repayment today are not available to fund operations in the future.
In evaluating debt capacity, general-purpose annual debt service payments should not exceed 10% of General Fund revenues.
2. Enterprise Fund Debt Capacity. The City will set enterprise fund rates at levels needed to fully cover debt service requirements (including any coverage requirements) as well as operations, maintenance, administration and capital improvement costs. The ability to afford new debt for enterprise operations will be evaluated as an integral part of the City’s rate review and setting process.
H. Land-Based Financings
1. Public Purpose. The City will consider formation of land-based financing districts in accordance with the State’s assessment law or the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act. There will be a clearly articulated public purpose in forming an assessment or special tax district in financing public improvements. This should include a finding by the Council as to why this form of financing is preferred over other funding options such as impact fees, reimbursement agreements or direct developer responsibility for the improvements.
2. Eligible Improvements. Except as otherwise determined by the Council when proceedings for district formation are commenced, preference in financing public improvements through an assessment or special tax district shall be DRAFT
40 271 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
given for those public improvements that help achieve clearly identified community facility and infrastructure goals in accordance with adopted facility and infrastructure plans as set forth in key policy documents such as the General Plan, Specific Plan, Facility or Infrastructure Master Plans, or Capital Improvement Plan.
Such improvements include study, design, construction and/or acquisition of:
a. Public safety facilities.
b. Water supply, distribution and treatment systems.
c. Waste collection and treatment systems.
d. Major transportation system improvements, such as freeway interchanges; bridges; intersection improvements; construction of new or widened arterial or collector streets (including related landscaping and lighting); sidewalks and other pedestrian paths; transit facilities; and bike paths. e. Storm drainage, creek protection and flood protection improvements. f. Parks, trails, community centers and other recreational facilities. g. Open space.
h. Cultural and social service facilities.
i. Other governmental facilities and improvements such as offices, information technology systems and telecommunication systems.
School facilities will not be financed except under appropriate joint community facilities agreements or joint exercise of powers agreements between the City and school districts.
3. Active Role. Even though land-based financings may be a limited obligation of the City, the City will play an active role in managing the district. This means that the City will select and retain the financing team, including the financial advisor, bond counsel, trustee, appraiser, disclosure counsel, assessment engineer and underwriter. Any costs incurred by the City in retaining these services will generally be the responsibility of the property owners or developer; will be advanced via a deposit when an application is filed; or will be paid on a contingency fee basis from the proceeds from the bonds.
4. Credit Quality. When a developer requests district formation, the City will carefully evaluate the applicant’s financial plan and ability to carry the project, including the payment of assessments and special taxes during build-out. This may include detailed background, credit and lender checks, and the preparation of independent appraisal reports and market absorption studies. For districts where one property owner accounts for more than 25% of the annual debt service obligation, a letter of credit further securing the financing may be required.
5. Reserve Fund. A reserve fund should be established in the lesser amount of: the maximum annual debt service; 125% of the annual average debt service; or 10% of the bond proceeds.
6. Value-to-Debt Ratios. The minimum value-to-date ratio should generally be 4:1. This means the value of the property in the district, with the public improvements, should be at least four times the amount of the assessment or special tax debt. In special circumstances, after conferring and receiving the concurrence of the City’s financial advisor and bond counsel that a lower value-to-debt ratio is financially prudent under the circumstances, the City may consider allowing a value-to-debt ratio of 3:1. The Council should make special findings in this case.
7. Appraisal Methodology. Determination of value of property in the district shall be based upon the full cash value as shown on the ad valorem assessment roll or upon an appraisal by an independent Member Appraisal Institute (MAI).
The definitions, standards and assumptions to be used for appraisals shall be determined by the City on a case-by- case basis, with input from City consultants and district applicants, and by reference to relevant materials and information promulgated by the State of California, including the Appraisal Standards for Land-Secured Financings prepared by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission.

BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
8. Capitalized Interest During Construction. Decisions to capitalize interest will be made on case-by-case basis, with the intent that if allowed, it should improve the credit quality of the bonds and reduce borrowing costs, benefiting both current and future property owners.
9. Maximum Burden. Annual assessments (or special taxes in the case of Mello-Roos or similar districts) should generally not exceed 1% of the sales price of the property; and total property taxes, special assessments and special taxes payments collected on the tax roll should generally not exceed 2%.
10. Benefit Apportionment. Assessments and special taxes will be apportioned according to a formula that is clear, understandable, equitable and reasonably related to the benefit received by—or burden attributed to—each parcel with respect to its financed improvement. Any annual escalation factor should generally not exceed 2%.
11. Special Tax District Administration. In the case of Mello-Roos or similar special tax districts, the total maximum annual tax should not exceed 110% of annual debt service. The rate and method of apportionment should include a back-up tax in the event of significant changes from the initial development plan and should include procedures for prepayments.
12. Foreclosure Covenants. In managing administrative costs, the City will establish minimum delinquency amounts per owner, and for the district as a whole, on a case-by-case basis before initiating foreclosure proceedings.
13. Impact on the City Bonding Capacity. The City will consider the effect of assessments or special taxes on the City’s ability to issue bonds or other property-based tax measures.
14. Adjustment of Development Impact Fees. Assessment and special tax districts can fund public facilities or infrastructure improvements otherwise funded with the City’s development impact fees or project-specific exactions.
In such cases, the area’s development impact fee obligations will be adjusted proportionately.
15. Special Tax Consultant. As part of special tax district formations, the City will retain a special tax consultant to prepare a report that recommends a special tax rate and method for the proposed district and evaluates the special tax proposed to determine its ability to adequately fund identified public facilities, City administrative costs and services (if applicable) and other related expenditures.
16. Disclosure to Bondholders. In general, each property owner who accounts for more than 10% of the annual debt service or bonded indebtedness must provide ongoing disclosure information annually as described under SEC Rule 15(c)-12.
17. Disclosure to Prospective Purchasers. Full disclosure about outstanding balances and annual payments should be made by the seller to prospective buyers at the time that the buyer bids on the property. It should not be deferred to after the buyer has made the decision to purchase. When appropriate, applicants or property owners may be required to provide the City with a disclosure plan.
I. Conduit Financings
1. The City will consider requests for conduit financing (use of the City’s tax-exempt status by other agencies in issuing their own bonds that do not incur any repayment obligation by the City) on a case-by-case basis using the following criteria:
a. The City’s bond counsel will review the terms of the financing and render an opinion that there will be no liability to the City in issuing the bonds on behalf of the applicant. b. There is a clearly articulated public purpose in providing the conduit financing. c. The applicant is capable of achieving this public purpose.
DRAFT
42 273 to 554
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES
2. This means that the review of requests for conduit financing will generally be a two-step process:
a. First asking the Council if they are interested in considering the request and establishing the ground rules for evaluating it.
b. And then returning with the results of this evaluation and recommending approval of appropriate financing documents if warranted.
This two-step approach ensures that the issues are clear for both the City and applicant, and that key policy questions are answered.
3. The workscope necessary to address these issues will vary from request to request, and accordingly will have to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, the City should generally be fully reimbursed for its costs in evaluating the request; however, this should also be determined on a case-by-case basis.
J. Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD)
1. EIFD financing should be considered for public facility or infrastructure improvements that confer Citywide and/or regional benefits. This may include the “City share” of infrastructure included in the City’s development impact fees.
2. Unless there is a Development Agreement in place that provides otherwise, EIFDs should not be used to fund real estate projects’ proportional share of infrastructure costs otherwise included in the City’s development impact fees or charged as project-specific exactions (such as subdivision improvements).
3. City should consider EIFDs when more than one local government jurisdiction is participating to produce maximum benefit.
4. At the time of formation of the EIFD (or if changes to the EIFD are contemplated), the City should require a fiscal impact analysis to determine if an EIFD is fiscally prudent and analyze opportunity cost to the City’s General Fund.
K. Refinancings
1. General Guidelines. Periodic reviews of all outstanding debt will be undertaken to determine refinancing opportunities. Refinancings will be considered (within federal tax law constraints) under the following conditions:
a. There is a net economic benefit.
b. It is needed to modernize covenants that are adversely affecting the City’s financial position or operations. c. The City wants to reduce the principal outstanding in order to achieve future debt service savings, and it has available working capital to do so from other sources.
2. Standards for Economic Savings. In general, refinancings for economic savings will be undertaken whenever net present value savings of at least five percent (5%) of the refunded debt can be achieved. a. Refinancings that produce net present value savings of less than five percent will be considered on a case-by- case basis, provided that the present value savings are at least three percent (3%) of the refunded debt. b. Refinancings with savings of less than three percent (3%), or with negative savings, will not be considered unless there is a compelling public policy objective.
Status: In Compliance. The City does not have any long-term indebtedness at this time.

Departmental
The Non-Departmental budget provides the special General Fund expenditures and revenues which are not directly related to any single
city department and, if included in any
department’s budget, would distort the true operating costs of that budget. The appropriation reflects charges for services of citywide benefit and for special contracts that are not related to any single department’s main mission.

Significant Operating Cost Changes
The cost sharing of the full-time administrative assistant will result in an ongoing cost to salaries and benefits. The Division’s budget shows $330,000 in Professional Services which represents a significant increase over last year’s $40,000 budget. However, this does not represent a significant increase in General Fund expenditures, but rather includes $270,935 in grant funding for special studies and projects that the City is, or is planning to use professional consulting services to complete. The Divisions Professional Services budget is broken down as follows:
Planning Division Professional Services Budget
Project Number Project Amount Funding Source
22027 CDBG COVID 19 Assistance $100,000 CDBG Grant Funds 23001 Housing Element Update $150,000 LEAP Grant Funds

2023-24 Strategic Issues
FY23 Homeland Security Grant funding for Police communications equipment will not be available until FY24 which will require city funds for the purchase of needed radios and related communication equipment Current logistical & supply chain disruptions may delay receipt of deliverables from vendors by as much as sixteen (16) weeks.
Virtually all law enforcement agencies are experiencing difficulty finding qualified applicants, increasing demand on HR and background investigators.
2023-24 Significant Operating Cost Changes
FY 22/23 funding is based upon an initial startup of fourteen (14) commissioned officers. Startup costs will continue into FY23/24 and will include six (6) dispatch personnel and the remaining complement of police personnel and requisite equipment.

2023-24 Strategic Issues
High Speed Rail Project will continue to eat up a significant amount of Staff time. As they near completion of road work within ROW it is assumed that Staff time will only increase more. Continue cost increases may affect Project budgets that were estimated prior to all of these current cost increases.
These increases are coming largely from fuel cost increases and material costs. Lead times for certain items needed in our improvement Projects may negatively affect project schedules and end dates.
Paving Projects will be stacked this summer requiring additional staff time to cover design/planning of other projects. Assess, conduct preventative maintenance, rehabilitate and reconstruct the City’s existing infrastructure to extend the useful life.
Continued training of staff is required in order to meet new and changing regulations, increase efficiency and innovation.
Develop new Staff member to learn our file system and network. 2023-24
Significant Operating Cost Changes
Fuel and other cost increases may affect Project costs in upcoming fiscal year.

trategic Issues
Training of existing street maintenance staff must be continuous to ensure proper road maintenance and pavement preservation techniques are utilized in the field. Staffing shortages in both the Street Department and Landscape Department make it difficult to keep up.
DRAFT

374 to 554
Keep Staff motivated by opening up opportunities for advancement. (Most of Staff is maxed out). Need for establishment of a Sidewalk Repair Program to begin addressing various trip hazards throughout the community.
Continue addressing street lighting concerns will be difficult until a lift is able to be purchased. Additional maintenance of new Amtrak tunnel and Poso Underpass will need to be planned for. Additional development of schools, parks, neighborhoods, roads and striping will put more pressure on already depleted staff.
2023-24 Significant Operating Cost Changes
Requesting to bring on two additional Street Maintenance Technicians to support landscape and street crews.
Significant increase in costs affect many aspects of this Department including materials cost, operating cost, tool cost etc. (inflation)
