facility improvements within the LLMAD
• A benefit assessment - Only those properties
that benefit from improvements are
assessed.
• There are 3 LLMADS in the City of
Watsonville. Page 365 of 477

• The 1972 Act allows for annual CPI increases
• Engineer’s Report update and Annual Budget
based on Consumer Price Index for the San
Francisco Bay Area
• Public Hearing is advertised; LLMAD property
owners received a courtesy notice in the mail.
• Public hearing is held
• If new assessments are approved,
assessments placed on property tax bills
Process
Initiate – February 21, 2023– City Council
adopted Resolutions directing the filing of the
Annual Engineer’s Reports for all 3 LLMADS
Update – May 23, 2023 – City Council

• $71,442 is budgeted for maintenance.
• $82,320 is allocated to be placed in
reserve.
• Reserve Balance - $115,265.81
Vista Montaña LLMAD
Building the Reserve
• Reserve Balance should be approximately $1.2
million by 2025
• Current reserve balance = $115.265.81
• $138,000 was spent on landscaping improvements in
2007 at the request of residents
• $141,000 of unrealized revenue loss due to no CPI
increases until 2014
• Additional maintenance work required over the years
and resident requests that exceed the current budget
Vista Montaña LLMAD
Current Status
• Assessment fees are no longer sufficient
– Rising maintenance/ repair demands that are not
captured in annual updates
– Rising personnel costs
– Not increasing fees by CPI during recession years
– Extra work requests by residents that were not
factored into original costs.
– Insufficient funding to build the reserve
Vista Montaña LLMAD
The Issue
• Services would need to be reduced to stay
within budget.
• Costly repairs would need to be recouped
from property owners.
This Past Year
• Staff assessed current operational costs
• June 15th and 21st, 2023 - Informational and
Community Input Meetings
Vista Montaña LLMAD
Next Steps
• Recommend annual CPI increase
• Finalize “True Cost” Engineers Report to determine
gap in current annual maintenance budget, while
building the reserve
• Determine Next Steps through continued polling and
meetings with property owners – Options:
– Status Quo – Maintain current fees and reduce service levels
– New Engineers Study and adopt new fees
– Form HOA
Recommendation
That the City Council adopt a resolutions confirming
the diagrams, assessments, and levying the
assessments for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 for the:
• Bay Breeze Subdivision Landscaping and Lighting
Maintenance Assessment District No. PK-03-02,
• Vista Montaña Subdivision Landscaping and Lighting
Maintenance Assessment District (LLMAD) No. PK03-03, and • Gonzales Street Alley Landscaping and Lighting
District (Gonzales LLMAD) No. PK-94-1.

• The study would likely prescribe an increase in yearly assessment fees
• Homeowners would need to approve any additional
assessment increase
Vista Montaña LLMAD
What a No Vote Means
• Annual assessments would remain the same with annual
increases in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
• City would need to reduce current maintenance and services by approximately 40% to meet annual reserve levels and stay within budget.
• City staff would work with homeowners to determine how these service reductions are implemented.
– Options include:
• Reduction in frequency and level of maintenance
• Transferring maintenance responsibilities to homeowners • Approval to spend reserves on reducing landscaping to reduce maintenance

General Fund
Over the next two years, the general fund is anticipated to experience growth in both operating expenditures and revenues. Due to prudent financial management, we have avoided any structural budget issues. Through careful planning and decision-making, we have been able to maintain a stable financial position and avoid any long-term budgetary challenges. Additionally, there is a plan to utilize some of the accumulated fund balance during this period for capital improvement projects. Except for salary and benefits, contracts and materials, our departments are largely maintaining current funding levels.
However, there have been additions to the General Fund, specifically two new Utility Worker positions. This increase in staff will enhance our capacity to address the City Council’s priority of street maintenance and ensure efficient operations.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11315311531\11315311531,,,Report - Biennial Budget FY23-24 and FY24-25 and Related Actions.docx Revenues:
The following chart illustrates the composition of revenues in the general fund for FY 2023-24.
Property Tax- We are budgeting base property tax to be 3.5% higher than the estimated collections for FY 2022-23 resulting in a total of $14,461,725. This figure includes an additional $400,000 from residual property taxes. Property taxes are collected based on County Assessor rolls that were formally closed in January of 2023. At that time, the normal Prop 13 assessed CPI growth was 1.3%, less maximum allowed 2%.
Over the past few years, sales tax has experienced robust growth. However, inflation and rising interest rates have stabilized this revenue. We are expecting a decrease in estimated collections of fiscal year 22/23 of 2.0 percent for fiscal year 23/24 and an increase of 2.9 percent for FY 24/25. The table below shows the City’s share of the County’s 9.75% sales tax:
6/22/2023 11:31:55 AM
C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11315311531\11315311531,,,Report - Biennial Budget FY23-24 and FY24-25 and Related Actions.docx Sales Tax – In the previous fiscal year, the category of sales tax stood at 25% of General Fund revenues, however it has now risen to 33% following the passage of Measure R. Additionally, the City is also supported by sales tax in various special funds including the Library, the Measure Y Public Safety Sales tax, and Measure D transportation. Similar assumptions discussed in this report also affect each of these funds.
Hotel Tax – Hotel tax represents a relatively smaller proportion of the City’s overall revenue mix. However, this revenue stream was particularly affected by the pandemic, experiencing significant impacts due to reduced travel and tourism activities. The City has experienced a recovery in this revenue stream, returning to pre-pandemic levels, primarily attributed to normalization of travel and the recent opening of the Hampton Inn on Lee Rd. Hotel Tax is projected to grow about 8% next fiscal year and then flat in FY 2024-25.
Utility User Tax- Utility User Tax represents about 6.1% of General Fund revenues. This tax stream tends to be more stable as it is a tax on telecommunication services, electricity, gas and water. This revenue has been basically flat in the current year, and we are expecting normal growth of 3% in each of the two budget years.
Community Development Department Revenues – The community development charges fees for various services, such as inspections, plan check, and permit issuance. The department has experienced declines in revenue over the current fiscal year. Nevertheless, in the next two fiscal years we are projecting modest increases in their departmental revenue. Additionally, the department is currently experiencing a high workload due to two major projects: the general plan and the housing element. The general plan update involves revising the long-term vision for the community’s development, while the housing element specifically addresses housing needs and policies.
Parks and Community Services Revenues – The Parks and Community Services department was the hardest hit by the pandemic with many of their normal service offerings prohibited.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11315311531\11315311531,,,Report - Biennial Budget FY23-24 and FY24-25 and Related Actions.docx The Parks and Community Services department brings exceptional value, particularly through its low-cost services for our residents, especially children and seniors. The department has partnered with the Pajaro Valley Unified School district and is collaborating with the school district and in this way are leveraging resources to better serve the community. We are expecting that FY 2023-24 and FY 2024/25 revenues will be back to prior pandemic levels with some declines at Ramsay Park, as we undertake necessary enhancements and upgrades during the construction period.
Other General Fund revenues make up smaller portions of the overall revenues and we are projecting fewer fluctuations. This includes items like business licenses and parking permits, franchise fees, lease revenues and interest. Each item was analyzed on its own. The budget does assume the use of $15,087,971 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds over the two-year period. There are many parts of the budget that we believe will be eligible to be covered by ARPA funds, but we are specifically utilizing the funds to assist us in fixing streets and potholes, Ramsay Park, Nature Center, Wayfinding, opportunity to work program, economic development and position restoration. It is important to highlight that these funds must be obligated and allocated for specific purposes by December 2024. The ARPA funds present us with a unique opportunity to address pressing community needs and invest in our City.

Prior to the pandemic Watsonville was already dealing with structural shortfalls in its budget.
The city was facing a situation where expenditures were projected to grow faster than revenues. This was primarily driven by increasing costs of unfunded actuarial liabilities (UAL) related to retirement costs. Unfunded actuarial liabilities refer to the difference between the projected obligations of the pension plan and the assets set aside to fund those obligations.
The City has demonstrated prudent fiscal planning, we have remained focused on maintaining reserves and anticipating future needs. By doing so, we are better prepared to address unforeseen circumstances or financial challenges that may arise. Additionally, the passage of Measure R by the community last year enables the City to further invest in parks, libraries, and new improved programs and quality of life for our residents. In this proposed biennial budget, most departmental budgets have remained relatively unchanged, following a status quo approach. However, certain adjustments have been made to accommodate cost-of-living adjustments, (COLAS), increased benefits costs, and contractual obligations.
Salaries– Salaries and benefits make up 46% of General Fund operating expenditures and therefore represent the greatest increase in costs. There are 8 proposed new positions across all funds, with 2 being in the general fund. In preparing this budget, Council’s strategic goals were prioritized, as a result the general fund is proposing two additional Utility Worker 1 positions to assist with road repair and striping throughout the City. The budget also reflects both actual and expected contractual raises for all our bargaining units.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11315311531\11315311531,,,Report - Biennial Budget FY23-24 and FY24-25 and Related Actions.docx Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) – The City’s UAL costs pose an ongoing challenge. In the upcoming FY 2023-24 UAL costs will represent 10% of the general fund operating budget.
The total of $5,615 million represents a $148 thousand decrease from the prior year, but that is after a $765 thousand increase last year. Costs are projected to be about the same in each of the fiscal years included in this budget following the FY 2022-23 peak year. The fact that the UAL costs are expected to represent 10% of the general fund operating budget suggests a significant portion of the city’s financial resources will be allocated to addressing the liability.
We have a CalPERS smoothing reserve of $1 million fully funded in our fund balance reserves to help mitigate the impact of the future UAL costs on the city’s budget.
Other Benefits – Other benefits such as normal retirement costs, social security, and Medicare are expected to rise at similar rates to salaries. Our health insurance broker has recently provided information that after several years of minimal or no increases in healthcare costs, there will be a significant rise of approximately 10 percent in the upcoming calendar year. We have planned for a 5% increase in the next fiscal year as the increase is effective at the beginning of the 2024 calendar year and a 9% increase for FY 2024-25.
Other non-position costs – Other citywide non-position impacts on the general fund are minimal. We are budgeting for rate increases JPA contract with the county for 911 and Animal Shelter services.

Community Development Department – As mentioned in the revenue section above, the Community Development Department is actively engaged in two major projects: the City’s new general plan update and housing element. Despite their workload, there has been no decrease in demand for their services throughout this past year.
Parks and Community Services Department- The Parks and Community Service was drastically reduced in years the City was dealing with the pandemic. We have restored recreation and community services staff so they can once again offer services. The science workshop program is also a program that PCS offers; this helps better leverage our combined child programming resources. In addition to the ongoing projects and programs mentioned earlier, the department is also actively involved in the Ramsay Park Improvements. They are currently working on several enhancements, including the construction of a new all-inclusive playground and the installation of a new turf soccer field, among other planned improvements.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11315311531\11315311531,,,Report - Biennial Budget FY23-24 and FY24-25 and Related Actions.docx These efforts demonstrate the City’s and department commitment to enhancing recreation facilities and providing inclusive and enjoyable spaces for our community.
Other General Fund Operational Changes- As discussed, most of the increases in the table above reflect increased costs of doing business and increases in salary and benefits for existing employees. A few other changes will come from the Measure R spending plan when that is presented to Council. The new sales tax Measure R’s projected revenues and expenditures are included in this budget. The City has not developed a detailed spending plan. The spending plan will help ensure transparency, accountability and efficient use of funds.
Five Year Outlook
Our five-year projection assumption assumes that there will be no new programmatic changes.
It provides a snapshot of the projected costs if we were to maintain our current operations and not introduce new programming. To that end it takes the two-year budget produced and described above and adds some assumed inflationary factors to both the revenues and expenses. This of course will be refined and updated each year as information becomes available, as economic conditions change, as new priorities arise, and as decisions are made to keep the City’s budget in balance. Table 4 reflects the General Fund’s five-year outlook with major assumptions described below.
Table 4: General Fund Five-Year Outlook
Property Tax: Based on historical averages we are projecting a 3% increase in each of the out years.
Sales Tax: FY 2023-24 sales tax is expected to level off as inflation and rising interest start to play a factor on purchases. The years past the current proposed biennial budget are assumed to grow at 3% similar to past trend and assuming some normal growth.
Other Non-Department and Departmental Revenues: Are projected to grow between 2% and 3% for each of the out years assuming some normal amount of inflation.
Salaries: In the last three years we assume salaries have grown very gradually, at 2%.
Retirement Costs: The normal cost portion of our retirement is anticipated to grow at the same rate as our salaries. Our portion of the unfunded liability is based on the most recent actuarial reports from CalPERS. The actuarial report shows our annual liability high but relatively flat in FY 2023/24 FY 2024/25 FY 2025/26 FY 2026/27 FY 2027/28

Furthermore, the city has a side loan to pay off UAL from the Tier II category safety employees which ends in FY 2023-24, allowing that money to be deployed towards other retirement liabilities.
Health Benefits – While Watsonville has seen little to no increases in our health insurance costs in recent years, we knew it was an anomaly in industry and among our peer cities. The City of Watsonville has recently been informed that after several years of minimal or no increases in healthcare costs, there will be a significant rise of approximately 10 percent in the upcoming calendar year. We have planned for a 5% increase in the next fiscal year as the increase is effective at the beginning of the calendar year and a 10% increase for FY 2024-25.
Utilities – We assume the newly adopted rate increase schedule for the Public Utilities of 1% for Water, 7.5% for Wastewater, and 7.5% for Solid Waste.
Other Non-Personnel Costs – We assume these costs will increase by 2%, an assumed proxy for CPI.
Operating Capital- In our 5-year plan, our target is to increase the amount of operating capital to just over $1 million in FY 2025-26 and each of the out years according to the five-year CIP plan. The City has over $30 million in unfunded capital needs. We continue to look for outside funding sources to meet those needs, however, budgeting a realistic amount of capital to maintain our facilities is imperative to preventing projects from becoming larger and more expensive replacement projects.

The Library fund is supported through a county levied special sales and use tax. As such, we expect its revenues to return to normal levels and follow the sales tax patterns described above. The library is proposing to utilize some of their accumulated fund balance for building improvements to the library restroom facilities and parking lot re-striping. They are also increasing their workforce by converting two half-time employees into full time employes. This will enable the library to expand its service, offering to better cater to the needs of our citizens.
ARPA
We have budgeted to use the remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support improvements in streets, investment in economic development to continue to grow and diversify our revenues, Ramsay Park, Nature Center and opportunities for our citizens to obtain valuable work experience, just to name a few. We will continue to monitor the spending of these funds as the deadline to commit and obligate the use of these funds is approaching, December 31, 2024. The funds must then be fully spent down, two years later, December 31, 2026. We will work with the various departments on developing a contingency plan that can include projects such as purchasing a training facility for our firefighters.
Gas Tax and SB1
The gas tax is expected to be relatively flat in this biennial budget. These funds pay for roadway projects and include some staff and material costs for regular maintenance of the streets. The Public Works department has been very successful in recent years in receiving grants for transportation projects in addition to these special revenue funds.
Measure Y
In March 2020, Watsonville voters overwhelmingly voted to pass Measure Y and renew the existing half cent public safety sales and use tax. This tax allows Fire, Police and Parks departments to increase their expenditures on their respective operating budgets. The Fire and Police Department can fund positions, other operating expenditures and capital with these funds. The Parks department can fund repairs, staffing and other operating costs with their allocation. Fire and Police are also proposing to use their accumulated balances to purchase specialized equipment for their departments and invest in some building maintenance and repairs.

Table 6: Select Enterprise Funds
The Utility Enterprises of Wastewater, Water, and Solid Waste are proposing minimal changes to their operating budgets. The Council approved a five-year rate schedule that is still in place during this biennial budget. The rising costs of the Utility finds is primarily attributed to the growing expenses associated with capital improvement projects, the costs of materials and supplies, and in the case of Solid Waste, the cost of disposal contracts, rather than personnelrelated cost increases as seen in the general fund. The re-opening of the Landfill Phase 4 is one of the biggest drivers for these increases in spending for the Enterprise Funds.
The Airport fund is supported through three revenue streams, leasing of properties to aeronautical and non-aeronautical commercial businesses, leasing of aviation storage units, and aviation fuel sales. The department is expecting revenues to improve in the budget cycle. As such, they are adding one position that will help them with their customer service and special projects at the Airport. The Airport is committing a portion of its special events budget to community outreach efforts by partnering with local schools, community non-profits and emergency services groups.
The Airport is currently in the process of completing a master plan update that informs them of their capital improvements and operational needs for future years.
Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan
The Five-Year Capital Plan helps the City prioritize its funding and planning for longer term structural needs. This year, all departments submitted a comprehensive list of all capital needs and projects. Departments were encouraged to submit all their known capital needs knowing that the City may not be able to fund all projects. The list will inform the City of its capital needs.
Several departments have recently been through Master Planning processes which formed their requests. Furthermore, the Public Works and Utility department has recently completed a comprehensive facility study. The study identified most of the City’s buildings and their maintenance and repairs needs.
The prioritization and decision process differed depending on funding source. For the General Fund, this year’s guiding principles were:
1) To fund projects that aligned with City Council’s strategic priorities as much as possible to create efficiencies by collaborating across the City. 710-Wastewater 720- Water 730- Airport

Based on the above criteria, the General Fund has a high priority on streets, including pothole repairs and striping. New funding in the General Fund is $150,000 in FY 2023-24, however we have also budgeted more funds in some of our street’s funds. The General fund’s capital expenditure is about $6 million. Most of the funding is for Parks projects this year, particularly Ramsay Park. The majority being re-appropriation of funds for prior commitments to this project.
Also, included in the reappropriation are the costs for the City’s General Plan. This capital plan is investing over $7 million into Ramsay Park (including ARPA funds) and over $10 million in Parks and Recreation Facilities. We are funding the design for all the improvements included in the Ramsay Park Master Plan and the construction of the improvements to the main soccer field.
We are hopeful that by funding the design for all these projects we will be “shovel ready” and able to take advantage of additional funding from grants, state and federal allocations, or community fundraising to complete the remaining elements in future years.
Most capital projects are not General Fund and will be managed by the Public Works and Utilities Department. Both the Wastewater and Water enterprises have previously completed comprehensive master plans this year which informed their proposals.
Wastewater Fund
In Fiscal year 2023/24, the two larger recommended projects are the Main Switchgear and Energy Recovery Electrical System Improvements at $4MM and $10MM in FY 2024-25. The main electrical switchgear and backup generation system that provides power and emergency backup power to all equipment in the wastewater treatment plant is nearing the end of its useful life. This critical equipment was identified in the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTF) Hazard Assessment as vulnerable to flood and seismic hazards. This project will replace this critical equipment and mitigate future flood or seismic hazards so the WWTF will continue to provide safe and effective wastewater treatment for the communities it serves. Also proposed is the Sub Basin 7 Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure Repairs Martinelli to Beach Streets. The City's sewer collection system is divided into 13 sub basins based on drainage routing at $1.5MM. Collections staff maintains a list of the sewer lines within the City that require the most frequent maintenance due to breaks, grease buildup, and/or being undersized. Sub Basin 7 contains approximately a third of the locations on this maintenance list. Staff will study the area to evaluate and prioritize projects within Sub Basin 7.
Additionally, several significant improvements will need to be made to our sewer pump stations, sewer lines, reinforcement of the river levee next to the treatment plant, and other upgrades within the treatment facility.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11315311531\11315311531,,,Report - Biennial Budget FY23-24 and FY24-25 and Related Actions.docx Water Fund
In Fiscal Year 2023/24 the Water Fund is proposing a $4.9MM project to Construct a new 2.0+ MG reservoir to partner with Airport Reservoir. Additionally, in Fiscal Year 2024-25 they are proposing to spend $3MM on a new MSC Building.
They are also proposing other projects that will repair or improve wells, water meter main replacements and various other projects.
Solid Waste.
The Solid Waste capital program is largely driven by the costs of closing and opening landfill cells. We also plan to open a new landfill cell in 2024, which is a $6M project.
Transportation
Transportation projects were selected for the Capital Improvement Program due to need and available funding. Need is typically based upon existing conditions and amount of use. Major arterial roads have more traffic and tend to deteriorate quicker than lesser-travelled roads.
Sidewalks and pedestrian or bike trails also show wear due to age. Streetlights, traffic lights, striping and signage must be maintained and are updated to use new and more effective technology following industry best management practices. Other factors, such as increased population or new state or federal mandates, may require that facilities be upgraded or expanded.
Funding comes from many sources, and each has its own requirements. Three of the sources, Gas Tax, Measure D, and SB1 have similar requirements and can be used on design and construction of transportation projects that include road repair and rehabilitation, traffic signals, safety improvements and bicycle and pedestrian improvements. The City also secures grant funding through local, State and Federal sources that is awarded on a competitive basis. These grants often focus on an area, such as safety, pedestrian facilities, bicycle facilities or reducing pollution. Another source of funding is developer fees, which are collected for specific improvements in an area and use restricted to that purpose.
Key projects in the next two years include improvements to bicycle and pedestrian facilities and safety training in the downtown area and at 8 schools in the southeast portion of the City. The Department is also planning a City-wide Street resurfacing project which includes overlay or replacement that will improve the surface condition and support the lifespan of several miles of streets throughout the City. Lastly, work on the Lee Road Trail Phase 1 (Pajaro Valley High School driveway to Land Trust driveway). Construct sidewalk and bike lanes of Harkins Slough Rd and pedestrian and bicycle path on Lee Road.
Unfunded Capital Needs
Despite a plan which expects to fund over $45 million of Capital projects over the next two years, we still have over $33 million of unfunded capital projects. The majority of these are not for “wish list” items but for basic maintenance and updates to our facilities and equipment, as identified in our facility’s plan. Capital investment was neglected after the 2008 recession and has left the City with a backlog of needs to our police and fire stations, our parks, our

We will continue to seek grants and other funds to invest in our capital assets, and potentially look to Federal infrastructure funding that we hope will come our way.
Table 7: Capital Improvement Program by Funding Source
Information Requested by Council
Attachment 5 includes the information requested by Council that pertains to total legal costs in the budget and the recommendations from the City Manager on the budget requests from Departments.
As it pertains to legal costs for Fiscal Year 2023 the City has incurred $744,999 to date of which $545,576 is Burke, Williams & Sorensen LLP and $199,422 are other legal expenses.
For FY 2024 the budget reflects $839,012 across all funds to cover all legal expenses.
As it pertains to the General Fund increases requested, the practice is to first estimate how much is projected to be available to support ongoing costs beyond the existing base. This is done to determine the available capacity to permanently increase the General Fund budget.1 Based on this analysis it was determined that there was $705,906 available to support ongoing increase. As listed in the attached table the approach taken was to first cover required cost increases like hosted services, software, contracts, animal control, 911, the City contribution to Pajaro River Flood Management Agency (PRFMA), etc. The next cut was to align new asks to priorities like the increase in travel and education, support for the updated Sister City policy, support for the Teen Action Council and support for special events. The increase to overtime in both Police and Fire was not included because of the vacancies that currently exist in both departments will be sufficient to offset these increases. As these positions are filled it is anticipated that the need for overtime costs will decrease and adjust accordingly.
The only two positions recommended for funding are the Utility Worker 1 positions that aligns with a top Council priority to improve our streets maintenance program. The other positions
1 The same is done for all other funds.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11315311531\11315311531,,,Report - Biennial Budget FY23-24 and FY24-25 and Related Actions.docx requested, while not reflected in the budget, will be reviewed as part of the Mid-Year and for the FY 2024-2025 budget.
Three other questions or comments pertained to (1) a decrease in the Community Development Department (CDD), other contracted services from $136,958 to $36,958, (2) adding a staff position to support the Council, and (3) providing health benefits to the Council.
The decrease in CDD budget was due to a correction being made to the FY 2023 budget which inadvertently charged contract costs for the Downtown Specific Plan to the wrong object code.
For the position to support the Council, the cost would be approximately $100,299, which is not reflected in the budget and would be funded by either a reduction to another part of the budget or tapping into reserves. As such the recommendation is for the City Manager’s office adjusting to provide more support for the Council and revisiting this request as part of the MidYear budget update.
On the health benefits question for the Council, staff needs a bit more time to research and develop the options to present for consideration. As a result, the suggestion is to park this item for now and direct staff to bring it back for consideration/direction no later than the September 12, 2023, Council meeting. At which time, based on the direction provided, we would be able to make any changes to the budget during the Mid-Year Update and/or plan accordingly.
Budget Action Items
Each year the passage of the budget requires the passage of a few legislative items.
Below is a listing of each of those items along with a brief description. Today’s action:
That the Joint City Council, the City Council in its capacity as the Housing Successor Agency shall:
1) Budget and CIP: approve a resolution adopting the FY 2023-25 Budget, providing certain transfers of funds and approve the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program, as highlighted and summarized above.
That the City Council shall adopt the following resolutions or ordinances:
2) Airport fees: Approve a resolution adopting various rates and fees at the Airport as shown in Attachment 2. The airport periodically updates its rates and fees based on inflation, comparison with other airports, limits set by the FAA, and operational revenue requirements. It has been two years since the airport has adjusted its rates and fees.
3) Facility Rental Fees at Parks and Community Services: Approve a resolution adopting facility rental fees at the PCS department as shown in Attachment 3. The Parks and Community Services Departments offer a variety of indoor and outdoor

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11315311531\11315311531,,,Report - Biennial Budget FY23-24 and FY24-25 and Related Actions.docx facilities for the public to rent. Facilities include community rooms, picnic areas, tennis courts, a car wash station, and sports fields.
4) Parks Land In-Lieu Fee, Park Land Impact Fee, and Community Centers & Recreational Facilities Impact Fee: Approve a resolution adopting new rates as shown on Exhibit A.
During its meeting on March 8, 2022, the Council adopted (1) a Park Impact Fee Study, (2) an Ordinance establishing Park Impact Fees, (3) an Ordinance updating Quimby Parkland Dedication Fees, and (4) a Fee Schedule. Anticipating that increasing/implementing these fees to the maximum allowed may be cost-prohibitive for developers and have a detrimental effect on the creation of new housing in the city the Council adopted fees at 40% of the maximum allowed. It was recommended that these fees be increased by 10% every 2 years, aligned with the biennial budget cycle, beginning with the Fiscal Year 2023-2025 budget, allowing for a more gradual increase in fees and bring the City’s fees in line with other comparable jurisdictions that have more recently updated park fees. The proposed fees are equal to 50% of the maximum fees allowed per the Fee Study.
5) Gann Limit: Resolution establishing the “Total Annual Appropriations” pursuant to State Constitution Article XIII-B for Fiscal Year FY 2023-24 (Proposition 4 GANN spending limit) as shown in Attachment 4; and
6) Property Tax levy: That the City Council adopt an ordinance to instruct Santa Cruz County to levy and collect property tax on taxable property within the City of Watsonville for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, at the levy rate of 0.077% and allocating to the Retirement Fund; and
That City Council in its capacity as the Housing Successor Agency 7) Expenditures of housing funds: That the Housing Successor Agency shall adopt a resolution to authorize the expenditure of low and moderate-income housing funds for planning and general administrative costs for the purpose of producing, improving, and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate-income housing; and
8) Redevelopment Project: Find that the use of taxes allocated from the Watsonville 2000 Redevelopment Project for producing, improving and preserving the supply of low and moderate-income housing outside the project area will be of benefit to the project area.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
The current balance budget meets Strategic Plan goal Number 2 of fiscal health by presenting a balanced budget, preserving the General Fund Reserve, and looking ahead to ensure the long-term financial health of the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Appropriate Fiscal Year 2023-24 spending of $248,124,140.

Section 1. Based on the written and oral information presented to it, the City Council determines as follows:
A. The use of LMIHAF funds for the development of low and moderate income housing outside of the Project Area will benefit the Project Area, since there is the need for additional affordable housing throughout the community, as indicated by the City of Watsonville General Plan, and since more land is needed to develop sufficient affordable housing in the community than is available within the Project Area.
B. The use of LMIHAF funds outside the Project Area is authorized.
The Housing Successor’s use of LMIHAF funds is subject to the same CRL requirements as the Agency’s use of LMIHF funds would have been.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11413710947\11413710947,,,City Charter Amendment Process.docx Agenda Report
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 27, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: CITY CLERK ORTIZ
THROUGH: CITY MANAGER MENDEZ
SUBJECT: CITY CHARTER AMENDMENT PROCESS
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the Mayor appoint a limited term, limited subject matter, “ad-hoc” Council subcommittee to review the City Charter and develop amendments for Council consideration to be placed on the ballot for the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election.
BACKGROUND:
The City Charter was last revised in November of 2014 when a group of residents organized and circulated petitions to change Charter Sections 406, 500, 504, and 1503(k).
The first ballot measure (Measure H) changed Section 406 of the City Charter and added subdivision (k) to Section 1503, which requires a vacant Council seat be filled only by voters at either a General Municipal Election or a Special Municipal Election to be held within ninety (90) days after the vacancy occurs.
The second ballot measure (Measure J) changed Sections 500 and 504 so that the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore are required to be selected in numerical order according to the District number where they reside rather than appointed by the Council.
Prior to 2014, the charter had not been amended since 2006.
DISCUSSION:
There has been interest by past and current City Council Members to consider more revisions to the City Charter. Staff recognized that there are several sections that could be updated to clarify processes and improve City functions.
There are two ways the Council could make changes to the Charter. Both approaches require approval by the voters at a regularly scheduled, Statewide General election.
6/20/2023 11:41:48 AM
C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\11413710947\11413710947,,,City Charter Amendment Process.docx The first approach is through the establishment of a Charter Commission pursuant to Government Code Section 34450. This would require the City to hold an election to establish the Commission and select the membership thereof. This would reduce the amount of time the City has to make the revisions by the deadline to submit measures for the 2024 General Municipal Election. A special election to establish a Commission could be costly, and would have a direct impact on the General Fund.
Alternatively, Government Code Section 34458 authorizes the City Council to propose changes to the Charter, without establishing a Charter Commission. The Council would be required to discuss the proposed changes at at least two public hearings; the first two must be at least 30 days apart. The meeting at which the Council places the amendment on the ballot must be at least 21 days after the second hearing. One of the two hearings must be held outside of normal business hours. Both hearings may take place during regularly scheduled City Council meetings.
If the Council wishes to propose a charter amendment on itself, the Council could appoint an ad hoc committee to meet, develop, and recommend charter amendments to the full Council. If the Council wanted to proceed, the full Council would then hold the required public hearings. City staff would assist the subcommittee in developing the amendments.
The amendments would be placed on the next established statewide general election (November 5, 2024) pursuant to Elections Code Section 1200, after the required hearings.
The Committee may or may not be subject to the Brown Act, depending on how it is created and the desires of the Council. Generally, committees that are established by Council action, and deal with one issue, over a long (or unlimited) period of time, are called standing committees and are subject to the Brown Act, while short term committees, established for a specific purpose, and of limited duration are called ad-hoc committees not subject to the Brown Act.

TITLE 4. GOVERNMENT OF CITIES [34000 - 45345] ( Title 4 added by Stats. 1949, Ch. 79. ) DIVISION 2. ORGANIZATION AND BOUNDARIES [34400 - 34906] ( Division 2 added by Stats. 1949, Ch. 79. ) PART 1. ORGANIZATION [34400 - 34906] ( Part 1 added by Stats. 1949, Ch. 79. ) CHAPTER 2. City or City and County Charters [34450 - 34462] ( Chapter 2 repealed and added by Stats. 1988, Ch. 357, Sec. 10. )
Any city or city and county may enact, amend, or repeal a charter for its own government according to this article or Article 3 (commencing with Section 9255) of Chapter 3 of Division 9 of the Elections Code. (Amended by Stats. 1994, Ch. 923, Sec. 63. Effective January 1, 1995.) The charter may be proposed by a charter commission chosen by the voters of the city or city and county, at any general or special election, but no person shall be eligible as a candidate for the commission unless he or she is a registered voter of the city or city and county. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1988, Ch. 357, Sec. 10.)
(a) An election for choosing charter commissioners may be called by a majority vote of the governing body of a city or city and county, or on presentation of a petition signed by not less than 15 percent of the registered voters of the city or city and county. The petition shall be verified by the authority having charge of the registration records of the city or city and county and the expenses of the verification shall be provided by the governing body thereof. The governing body shall call an election pursuant to Sections 1000 and 10403 of the Elections Code. (b) If any vacancy arises in a charter commission established for a city or city and county pursuant to this chapter, the vacancy shall be filled by an appointment by the mayor of the city or city and county. (Amended by Stats. 1994, Ch. 923, Sec. 64. Effective January 1, 1995.) At an election the voters shall vote first on the question “Shall a charter commission be elected to propose a new charter?” and, secondly, for the candidates of the office of charter commissioner. If the first question receives a majority of the votes of the qualified voters voting thereon at the election, the 15 candidates for the office of charter commissioner receiving the highest number of votes shall forthwith organize as a charter commission.
However, if the first question receives less than a majority of the votes of the qualified voters voting thereon at the election no charter commission shall be deemed to have been elected. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1988, Ch. 357, Sec. 10.)
Candidates for the office of charter commissioner shall be nominated either in the same manner provided for the nomination of officers of the municipal or city and county government, or by petition substantially in the same manner provided by general laws for the nomination by petition of candidates for public offices to be voted for at general elections.
(Repealed and added by Stats. 1988, Ch. 357, Sec. 10.)
The charter commissioners shall propose a charter and may propose amendments to a charter, for the government of the city or city and county. The charter so prepared shall be signed by a majority of the charter commissioners and shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the governing body of the city or city and county. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1988, Ch. 357, Sec. 10.)

Three copies of the complete text of a charter proposal or of any amended or repealed section ratified by the voters of a city or city and county shall be certified and authenticated by the chairperson and the clerk of the governing body and attested by the city clerk, setting forth the submission of the charter to the voters of the city, and its ratification by them.
