ITEM #: H.4
SUBJECT: Clark Field Committee Restoration Recognition Proclamation
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Proclamations recognizing the Clark Field Restoration Committee and Larry Martinez for exemplifying the value of citizen engagement and for their volunteerism to preserve and maintain Clark Field as a community resource for the people of Woodland.
Staff Contact:
Christine Engel, Community Services Director, [email protected] (530) 661-2000
Background:
Clark Field was named for Charles A. Clark, a devoted baseball fan and a leader of grace and dignity who built his "field of dreams,” one of the finest baseball facilities in California for its time. The field was dedicated on April 27, 1930 and has been recognized as the oldest continuously used baseball facility in California.
American Legion Post 77 took over the field operations from Mr. Clark and ultimately donated the facility to the City of Woodland. Over the years, Clark Field became the scene of west coast exhibitions by major league teams and was at one time a rookie try-out facility for the Philadelphia Phillies. Notable players at Clark Field include Joe DiMaggio in 1934, who also returned to Clark Field in 1964 and joined Mrs. Babe Ruth as a guest of honor during the opening of the Babe Ruth World Series. Most recently, Dustin Pedroia rose through the ranks of baseball in Woodland, playing at Clark Field and ultimately starring for the Boston Red Sox.
Today, Clark Field is used year-round by Woodland High School, Woodland Babe Ruth Baseball, Woodland Davis Mens Senior Baseball League, and Yolo Post 77 American Legion Baseball.
Discussion:
Clark Field would not be known as a premier field in California without the volunteerism and fundraising efforts of the Clark Field Restoration Committee, and especially the efforts of Larry Martinez.
As a way to maintain and improve Clark Field, and to assist during the budget constraints in 2009, the Clark Field Restoration Committee was formed. Members during the last thirteen years have included Larry Martinez, Larry Hoppin, Mark Aulman, Gary Traynham, Jack Slaven, Eric Martinez, Homer Perez, Felix DeAnda, Felix Castillio, Lanny Ropke, Eric Ramirez, Jeff Kunz, Ron Pinegar, and Frank Eakle. The primary purpose of the Committee was to raise funds and provide labor and services for the ongoing restoration, operation, and maintenance of the field, with the ultimate goal of making Clark Field the premier baseball facility in Woodland. Some notable projects have included replacing the backstop, scoreboard, outfield fence, improving the irrigation system, building a new storage shed, and rebuilding the infield every year, including weekly maintenance to keep the playing surface in pristine condition.
Larry Martinez is being commended specifically as he has personally devoted hundreds of hours to ballfield and facility maintenance each and every year, as well as seeking in-kind labor and monetary donations to fund restoration projects. He has also spent countless hours documenting the history of Clark Field and notable players using the facility. Larry's dedication to volunteerism and the City of Woodland has benefited many hundreds of young people who have been able to play baseball at Clark Field over the last decade.
Although the Clark Field Restoration Committee disbanded in July 2022, residents and baseball players will continue to reap the benefits of the Committee from the projects they supported and the physical labor they contributed to the "Field of Dreams".
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Proclamations recognizing the Clark Field Restoration Committee and Larry Martinez for exemplifying the value of citizen engagement and for their volunteerism to preserve and maintain Clark Field as a community resource for the people of Woodland.

RE: Funding to Support Woodland Community College’s Soccer Facility
Dear President Burbank, Vice President Delgado, Clerk Teagarden, and Board Members Alves, Wheeler, Harris, and Ortiz:
On behalf of the City of Woodland, we urge your support for Woodland Community College’s Soccer Facility project to help build a comprehensive community college experience that fuels equity, enriches campus life, and directly serves our Woodland community.
Woodlanders deserve a comprehensive local community college that offers sports and the life skills, fitness, and community pride that accompany athletics. Furthermore, a full-service soccer program will increase the opportunities for students to play sports and have access to quality higher education closer to home, especially for a largely Hispanic-Serving Institution like Woodland Community College.
We have a responsibility to deliver these facilities to our students and to the broader Woodland community. Soccer is the fastest-growing sport in Woodland’s K-12 school district, and a thriving local soccer ecosystem has fueled high demand for facilities. Woodland Community College and the Yuba Community College District have been planning these facilities since 2000 and promised these amenities as part of the Measure J Facilities Bond approved by voters in 2006. It is past time to fulfill this promise and further invest in Woodland Community College’s mission to offer high quality student services that support life-long growth and learning.
These soccer fields are not simply projects that will be nice to have – they are urgent and pressing needs that will support our students, our campus culture, and our entire community.
The Woodland City Council respectfully urges your support for this project.
Sincerely,
Mayra Vega, Mayor

In its third year, the Sustainability Advisory Committee and Environmental Services staff made significant progress towards our goals and objectives. The Committee worked extensively to advance its work plan in multiple areas, including providing recommendations to the Woodland City Council on environmental matters and engaging the community in decision-making
processes. In collaboration with other stakeholders, the Committee also assisted the City of Woodland in implementing projects and initiatives to advance the Climate Action Plan goals.
The City of Woodland is in the process of organizational changes to help support City programs and committees. The City has established the City Manager’s Office of Equity, Environment, Economy and Engagement. This new office brings new opportunities for the Committee to consider its goals, reassess its priorities to help advance the Climate Action Plan, provide recommendations on sustainability policies, assist with program development and implementation, and continue to engage the community on environmental matters.
It has been an honor to serve as the Chair of the Committee for the past year and I look forward to continue to serve the community, build collaborative relationships, and foster partnerships to promote environmental efforts. The Committee was very successful due to its members’ dedication, energy, and expertise.

DATE: November 1, 2022
ITEM #: I.9
SUBJECT: Quarterly Treasurer's Investment Report for the Quarter Ending September 30, 2022
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council accept the quarterly Treasurer’s Investment Report for the quarter ending September 30, 2022.
Staff Contact:
Hogai Zalmai, Senior Accountant, (530) 661-5835, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
There is no impact on the City funds in association with the information contained herein. This report is for informational purposes only.
Background:
Each quarter, staff is required to provide the City Council with a report from the City Treasurer on the status of investments. The purpose of this report is to provide the Council with information regarding liquidity, monthly cash flow and expected cash disbursements.
The City manages its investment portfolio in accordance with the guidelines established by the Council- approved Investment Policy. In managing the city’s investment portfolio, preservation of principal is the primary objective, followed by liquidity and finally yield on investments.
The City primarily invests in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), California Asset Management Program (CAMP), and federal agency obligations because these are generally considered low risk investments. The City’s securities are held in custodial care by U.S. Bank N.A., which provides monthly statements to the City of Woodland. The source of valuations for the securities is marked to market by U.S.
Bank N.A.
The City utilizes the services of the investment firm of Cantor Fitzgerald L.P. to implement its investment strategy with the objective of increasing yield and generating additional investment earnings while, at the same time, ensuring that the portfolio’s primary goal of providing safety and liquidity is preserved.
Discussion:
As of September 30, 2022, the City treasury consisted of investments with a total book value of $236,694,537. The City changed it's investment strategy and began investing its readily available funds (liquid funds) in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) instead of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) due to a higher yield. CAMP utilizes the seven-day yield method for estimating the annualized yield of their fund, which is the industry standard for money market funds. The seven-day yield for CAMP was 2.61% as of September 2022.The yield on the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) balance for the quarter ending September 2022 was 0.75% and the average yield on the City of Woodland’s investments as of September 30, 2022 was 1.77%. This results in an overall portfolio yield, combining all investments, CAMP, and LAIF of
1.90%.
The City Investment Policy has established a benchmark equal to the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill, which for the
quarter ending September 2022 was 3.22%. The City exceeded its benchmark by 1.30%.The City’s investment strategy is to maintain 35% of the investment portfolio in highly liquid funds, achieve an overall effective duration for investments of 1.75 years, and achieve a market rate of return of 0.15% based on the parameter of allowable investments. As of September 30, 2022, the City maintained 34% of the investment portfolio in highly liquid funds, achieved an overall effective duration for investments of 1.75 years, and achieved a market rate of return of 1.90%. The City target yield is below 0.10%.
In response to the Corona Virus Pandemic, the Federal Reserve reduced its benchmark rate to a target range of 0-0.25%. This unexpected decrease in the Federal Reserve’s benchmark rate has led to a significant increase in the amount of “calls” on the City’s investments. An investment is “called” when the institution that issued the investment security redeems it (or cashes it out), typically at par value, plus accrued interest, prior to the maturity date. Investment calls are common and staff projects when we expect them to occur as part of our investment planning, but these calls occur much more frequently when investment rates are declining, as has been the case since March 2020. The Federal Reserve has begun to reverse direction and has increased its benchmark rate by 0.25% in March 2022, 0.50% in May 2022, 0.75% in September, and has signaled that they will continue to make increases in an effort to help curb inflation in the economy. This will likely result in increasing rates for available investments, and therefore the City does not expect any of its investments to be called over the next quarter.
Over the next quarter, the City will continue its focus on its objectives of safety, liquidity, and return on investment. The City will continue to invest in high-quality credit worthy securities and will continue to implement and evaluate its investment strategy. The investments will be made with the goal of increasing the overall effective duration of investments to twenty-one months and increasing the City’s return on investment while maintaining compliance with the City’s adopted Investment Policy.
Staff continues to explore opportunities to implement a Community Reinvestment component within the overall investment portfolio. The City has become a participant in the CalRise program offered by the California Statewide Communities Development Act (CSCDA), but that program has been largely inactive since its inception. Staff also continue to evaluate direct investment opportunities with local banks within the community.
The attached report provides a summary of the City’s current investments, including the investment interest rates as they have matured, and current rates for new investments. All activities comply with the existing Investment Policy approved by the City Council. Additionally, a glossary of investment terminology and a report titled “Cash with Fiscal Agent” is included which lists the most recent information available regarding investments for the assessment districts/bond reserve fund dollars. The source of this information is monthly reports from the various district/bond Trustees.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the quarterly Treasurer’s Investment Report for the quarter ending September 30, 2022.

Investment Glossary
Call date - the date on which a bond can be redeemed before maturity. If the issuer feels there is a benefit to refinancing the issue, the bond may be redeemed on the call date at par or at a small premium to par.
Current market value (CMV) - the resale valuation attached to a security held long in an investor's margin account. The current market value is usually taken as the closing price for listed securities.
CUSIP (Security ID) - stands for Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures. Formed in 1962, this committee developed a system (implemented in 1967) that identifies securities, specifically U.S. and Canadian registered stocks, and U.S. government and municipal bonds. The CUSIP number consists of a combination of nine characters, both letters and numbers, which act as a sort of DNA for the security - uniquely identifying the company or issuer and the type of security. The first six characters identify the issuer and are assigned in an alphabetical fashion; the seventh and eighth characters (which can be alphabetical or numerical) identify the type of issue; and the last digit is used as a check digit.
Interest rate - the amount charged, expressed as a percentage of principal, by a lender to a borrower for the use of assets. Interest rates are typically noted on an annual basis, known as the annual percentage rate (APR).
Maturity date - the date on which the principal amount of a note, draft, acceptance bond or another debt instrument becomes due and is repaid to the investor and interest payments stop.
Par - In its most common usage, par value applies to bonds. The term refers to the face value of the bond, that is, the value at which the issuer will redeem the bond at maturity.
Principal - is used to refer to the original amount of investment. A bond's principal is the amount of money the bond-issuer owes to the bondholder upon maturity.

ITEM #: I.11
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the Submittal of Grant and Payment Program Applications to CalRecycle
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing staff to submit applications to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) for any grant and payment programs for which the City is eligible for a period of 5 years.
Staff Contact:
Rosie Ledesma, Environmental Resources Program Manager, (530) 661-2059, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
There is no cost associated with the action. Any grant funding acquired from CalRecycle would be used to augment Solid Waste and Recycling budgets and programs.
Discussion:
CalRecycle grant and payment programs procedures require that an applicant’s governing body declare by resolution: (1) authorization for submittal of an application for all CalRecycle grant(s) and payment program(s) for which the applicant is eligible; (2) designation of the job title of the person authorized as the signature authority for all grant-related documents; and (3) the period during which the authorization is valid. CalRecycle encourages governing bodies to provide authorization for up to 5 years.
Environmental Services staff anticipates applying for upcoming CalRecycle grants and payment programs, including the Beverage Container Recycling Grant, Oil Recycling Payment Program, and City/County Payment Program when they become available.
The Environmental Services division moved to the City Manager’s Office of Equity, Environment, Economy, and Engagement on October 1, 2022. The previous resolution gave signature authority to the Director of Community Development Department (CDD), which Environmental Services is no longer part of. This resolution will authorize the Environmental Resources Program Manager, or his/her designee, to execute all necessary forms on behalf of the City of Woodland from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2027.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. _____, authorizing staff to submit applications to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) for any grant and payment programs for which the City is eligible for a period of 5 years.

ITEM #: I.12
SUBJECT: 2019 Homeland Security Grant Supplemental Award - Budget Appropriation
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to appropriate $15,870, received as the 2019 Homeland Security Grant Supplemental Award, to the Other Federal Grants Fund (330) for the purchase of the awarded equipment.
Staff Contact
Derrek Kaff, Police Chief (530)661-7813
Council Goal
This recommendation is consistent with the Council’s goals of 1) improving Woodland’s quality of life by ensuring the highest level of public safety and 2) strengthening public safety and infrastructure by procuring needed equipment; and 3) enhancing governance and fiscal responsibility by pursuing supplemental sources of funding for equipment through grants.
Fiscal Impact
The supplemental grant funds will be used to purchase two handheld radios for use by patrol officers. The estimated purchase cost is $16,825; any balance not covered by the grant will be absorbed within the department’s current budget.
Background
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) provides funding to states, territories, urban areas, and other local and tribal governments to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from potential terrorist attacks and other hazards. While our system of automatic and mutual aid is robust our communication interoperability is hampered by non-contiguous communication. The requesting agencies straddle the boundaries between adjacent City agencies which utilize 800 MGHZ radios/frequencies and the County agencies which utilize VHF radios/frequencies. This variance in radio frequencies present a communication challenge for automatic and mutual aid partners who regularly respond to assist their partners in need This communication gap can be bridged by the utilization of all band portable radios which have the ability to utilize both VHF and 800 MGHZ frequencies. This interoperability is vital to the regions security and ability to respond safely and effectively. The all band capability is in alignment with the regional, state, and federal goals of strengthening communication.
In FY19, the Woodland Police Department submitted an application for the 2019 Homeland Security Grant for the purchase of 11 portable all-band radios to be distributed as follows: Woodland Police Department (4), Woodland Fire Department (6), and Willow Oak Fire Protection District/Yolo County Office of Emergency Services (1). All three agencies have since received all the equipment authorized for purchase by the grant. In late FY22 the Yolo County Office of Emergency Services (OES), who administers the Homeland Security grant program in the county, identified excess funds from the 2019 federal disbursement and awarded supplemental funds to the Woodland Police Department. The supplemental award acceptance document issued by OES has been executed by the department.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to appropriate $15,870, received as the 2019 Homeland Security Grant Supplemental Award, to the Other Federal Grants Fund (330) for the purchase of the awarded equipment.

SUBJECT: Approve Sole Source Finding and Goods Purchase Agreement for the Replacement of Pumps at the Spring Lake Pump Station, CIP 23-04
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, for:
1. Making a finding designating certain products, things, or services by Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. to be required for the continued functionality of the existing sewer lift station pumps;
2. Authorize the City Manager to award a goods purchase agreement with Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. in the amount of $194,077.84 for the Spring Lake Pump Station Pump Replacement Project, CIP 23-04.
Staff Contact:
Chris Fong, Senior Associate Civil Engineer, (530) 661-5972, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The City has an ongoing capital program for the repair and replacement of major components of the City’s sewer collection system. With the existing pumps nearing the end of their service life and the various mechanical issues that have been encountered, City staff determined that the replacement of the existing sewage lift pumps at the Spring Lake Pump Station (SLPS) is warranted. The overall project budget for the Spring Lake Pump Station Pump Replacement Project (CIP 23-04) is $600,000, as identified in the FY 2022-23 budget, approved by City Council on June 21, 2022. The funding source for the project is the sewer enterprise fund and the overall project budget accounts for design services, goods purchases, project management, inspection, and contingency.
Background:
The Spring Lake Pump Station (SLPS) is approaching 20 years old and has all original equipment. After undertaking the 2018 sewer collection system Hydraulic Model Update and in coordination with future capacity southeast area capacity studies, the City contracted with Water Works Engineers in 2020 to conduct a condition and capacity assessment of the SLPS. The SLPS Capacity Enhancement Report provided guidance on when a third pump would be required and indicated that the existing pumps be replaced with in-kind pumps when the existing pumps need to be replaced. The third pump will not be required for a few years still based on the pace of future development.
Discussion:
Operations staff have been experiencing numerous operational issues with both pumps over the past year. Though both pumps are currently operational, both of the pumps are recommended for replacement. The existing pumps are made by Flygt, a Xylem brand. City operational staff has contacted the manufacturer, Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc., and has been provided a quote for the pump replacements.
As a replacement of the entire pump and associated appurtenances is required, it necessitated the City to work directly with the existing pump manufacturer. Since the procurement of the pump and associated appurtenances are highly specialized, the City worked directly with Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. to get a cost proposal for the goods purchase.
On October 13, 2022, the City received a sole source quote from Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. Staff has performed due diligence in reviewing the quote and is asking City Council to make a sole source finding and
authorize the City Manager to enter into a good purchase agreement with Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc.
Once the City receives the pumps, Public Works staff will install the equipment at the pump station.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, for:
1. Making a finding designating certain products, things, or services by Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. to be required for the continued functionality of the existing sewer lift station pumps;
2. Authorize the City Manager to award a goods purchase agreement with Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. in the amount of $194,077.84 for the Spring Lake Pump Station Pump Replacement Project, CIP 23-04.

Fiscal Impact
Based on the tax sharing splits within the proposed agreements, incorporation of the properties in the planned annexation areas would generate a net positive impact on the city General Fund. The City’s increased service costs will be off-set by revenues generated by existing development. As future development occurs the revenues are projected to continue to exceed costs for services in these areas.
Background
The City of Woodland is in the final stages of processing applications for properties within the city’s voter- approved Urban Limit Line but outside the current city boundaries. Consistent with the applicable state law as administered by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the City is initiating the annexation of these areas to help streamline jurisdictional oversight and service delivery of those currently unincorporated areas that are adjacent to the city.
Under state law, a prerequisite for LAFCO to process a duly submitted annexation application is agreement between the annexing City and County on a tax-sharing agreement governing the allocation of property taxes on parcels to be annexed. The tax-sharing agreement is the primary vehicle available to help ensure that property tax revenues are allocated to the City and County consistent with each entity’s responsibility for providing municipal services to the residents and businesses within the newly-annexed territory.
Discussion
Earlier this year, the City initiated negotiations with the County and have reached tentative agreement on the terms for a Revenue Sharing and Property Exchange Agreement specific to properties in the Barnard (near CR 99 & I-5), Westucky (CR 99 & W. Kentucky Ave.), and Pirmi areas (N. East Street & Kentucky Ave.), each which contain existing development. The Agreement provides for the allocation of property taxes as well as Bradley-Burns sales and use taxes largely in proportion to the anticipated costs of municipal services borne by the City of Woodland and Yolo County, as follows:
Property Tax
City / County split County General Fund allocation 50% / 50% ACO Fund 100% to City (city commits to funding toward curb, gutter, street, sidewalk, improvements in annexed areas)
Fire, Library, Road District 100% to City (city assumes these services)
Sales and Use Tax
City / County share sales and use taxes 50% / 50% for all existing and future uses within the Barnard Area only. This split pertains only to the Bradley-Burns sales and use tax (7.25%) and does not include revenues from local voter-approved sales tax measures (i.e. Measures F & R). Sales and uses taxes generated in the other annexation areas would accrue 100% to the City.
Additionally, the City owns two properties immediately adjacent to the city limits that the City desires to annex to align the jurisdictional authority of these properties with the City’s ownership. These include the Sports Park (east of Sports Park and Community Center) and the storm drainage parcel just north of the Woodland-Davis Clean Water Agency water treatment plant. For these areas, the Agreement would allocate to the City 100% of the County General Fund, ACO, Library, County Road, and Springlake Fire District apportionment of the base property tax.
Per analysis conducted by the city’s consultant, the Agreement would provide for a net positive fiscal impact to the City (Attachment 5). A copy of the Revenue Sharing and Property Tax Exchange Agreement is attached. At their October 25, 2022 Board Meeting, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors approved the negotiated Revenue Sharing and Property Tax Exchange Agreement.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing execution of a Revenue Sharing and Property Tax Exchange Agreement between the City of Woodland and Yolo County related to planned annexations for the Barnard Court, Westucky, and Pirmi areas and City-owned properties.

CITY OF WOODLAND AGREEMENT NO. __-___
Tax Exchange Agreement Between the County of Yolo and the City of Woodland Relating to the Barnard Street, Westucky, Pirmi Rice Plant, Sports Park Area, and Water Treatment Plant Annexations
This Tax Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of ________________, 2022 (“Effective Date”), by and between the County of Yolo, a political subdivision of the State of California (“County”), and the City of Woodland, a municipal corporation (“City”) (collectively with County, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, City is contemplating the annexation of unincorporated land in five areas:
the Barnard Street, Westucky, Pirmi Rice Plant, Sports Park Area, and Water Treatment Plant Annexations (collectively, the “Annexations”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to provide, pursuant to the provisions of California law referenced above, for the exchange of property tax revenues by and between the affected local agencies and for the apportionment of sales and use tax revenue between the City and County with regard to the Annexations, as set forth in further detail below; and
NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing recitals the parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Purpose and Scope. The primary purpose of this Agreement is to describe an equitable exchange of Property Tax Revenue between the Parties as required by Revenue and Taxation Code § 99. Additionally, this Agreement ensures a fair allocation of sales and use tax revenues between the Parties based on the existing or anticipated City Land Use Designations described further below.
2. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following words, phrases, and terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
A. “Annexation Area(s)” shall refer to any or all of the parcels located within the five proposed annexation areas shown generally on Exhibit A hereto, incorporated herein by this reference, for which an application or resolution pursuant to the Cortese- Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Government Code §§ 56000 et seq.) (the “Act”) is filed with LAFCo during the term of this Agreement.
B. “Annexation Date” shall mean the date specified by the Act as the effective date of each annexation covered by this Agreement.
C. “Barnard Street Area” shall mean the property annexed to the City, as authorized by LAFCo, as generally identified on Exhibit A, consisting of Assessor Parcel Numbers 027-430-001, 002, 003, 004, 005.
D. “Base Year” shall mean the fiscal year during which an annexation covered by this Agreement is completed, unless otherwise specified herein.
F. “Land Use Designations” shall mean the City’s existing or proposed Land Use Designations for parcels within each Annexation Area, in accordance with City’s General Plan.
G. “Pirmi Rice Plant Area” shall mean the property annexed to the City, as authorized by LAFCo, as generally identified on Exhibit A, consisting of Assessor Parcel Numbers 027-340-005, 008, 010, 020, 022, 027, 033, 034, 035, 037, 038, 039.
H. “Property Tax Revenue” shall mean all revenue from “ad valorem real property taxes on real property,” as that term is used in Section 1 of Article XIII.A of the California Constitution and as more particularly defined in Revenue and Taxation Code § 95(c), that is collected from within each Annexation Area and available for allocation to the City and County.
I. “Sales and Use Tax Revenues” shall mean the revenue from the Bradley- Burns sales, transactions and use taxes levied and received by City that are generated at a point of sale within certain Annexation Areas covered by this agreement.
J. “Special Districts” shall mean the Springlake Fire Protection District, the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District, the Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, the Yolo County Resources Conservation District, and any other entities that are considered special districts under California law.
K. “Sports Park Area” shall mean the property annexed to the City, as authorized by LAFCo, as generally identified on Exhibit A, consisting of Assessor Parcel Number 041-080-002.
L. “Water Plant Area” shall mean the property annexed to the City of Woodland, as authorized by LAFCo, as generally identified on Exhibit A, consisting of Assessor Parcel Number 027-852-007.
M. “Westucky Area” shall mean the property annexed to the City of Woodland, as authorized by LAFCo, as generally identified on Exhibit A, consisting of Assessor Parcel Numbers 027-081-002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 012, 013, 015, 016 027- 082-001, 002, 012, 014, 015, 016, 017, 018, 019, 021, 022, 023, 024, 027-440-014.
3. Assumption of Services After Annexation; Detachment. The parties understand that commencing upon each Annexation Date, City shall assume full responsibility for providing road, library, fire protection, and all other municipal services to each Annexation Area. As such, City agrees to make a good faith effort to annex lands in a logical manner that minimizes transition problems from the previous service provider(s). With respect to fire services currently provided by Springlake Fire Protection District, City shall pursue detachment proceedings with LAFCo concurrently with the annexations covered by this Agreement.
4. Property Tax Revenue Distribution Methodology. The Parties agree that, as to each Annexation Area (or portion thereof) only, Property Tax Revenue shall be distributed as follows following the applicable Annexation Date:
A. For property tax revenue derived from the Barnard Street Area, fifty percent (50%) to the County and fifty percent (50%) to the City. No changes in existing Land Use Designations are proposed or anticipated in the near future.
B. For property tax revenue derived from the Westucky Area, fifty percent (50%) to the County and fifty percent (50%) to the City. No changes in existing Land Use Designations are proposed or anticipated in the near future.
C. For property tax revenue derived from the Pirmi Rice Plant Area, fifty percent (50%) to the County and fifty percent (50%) to the City. No changes in existing Land Use Designations are proposed or anticipated in the near future.
D. For property tax revenue derived from the Sports Park Area, one hundred percent (100%) to the City. No changes in existing Land Use Designations are proposed or anticipated in the near future. In the event the City proposes to sell or transfer the parcel or no longer uses the parcel for a municipal or public benefit, the allocation shall be subject to renegotiation and no sale or transfer may occur until an amendment to this Agreement is fully executed. In negotiating any such amendment, the Parties shall
cooperate in good faith to determine an equitable revenue allocation that is generally consistent with any similar property tax sharing allocation(s) set forth in agreements between the Parties within the decade (or other relevant period mutually agreeable to the Parties) prior to the renegotiation, taking any unique circumstances into account. The failure to negotiate an amendment prior to a transfer shall not void the transfer, but the obligation to negotiate an amendment is a continuing obligation and shall continue in force after any transfer occurs.
E. For property tax revenue derived from the Water Treatment Plant Area, one hundred percent (100%) to the City. No changes in existing Land Use Designations are proposed or anticipated in the near future. In the event the City sells or transfer the parcels or no longer uses the parcel for a municipal or public benefit, the allocation shall be subject to renegotiation as set forth in the preceding subsection.
A partial annexation within an Annexation Area shall result in the transfer of a proportionate share of those revenues reflecting the percentage of the whole area for which the annexation was contemplated pursuant to this Agreement. For example, if the City annexes only half of the land within an Annexation Area, 50 percent of Property Tax Revenues within the entire Annexation Area will be subject to distribution pursuant to the methodology set forth above.
The distributions described above shall take effect for each new tax rate area in the first fiscal year following the Annexation Date for each Annexation Area. An interim period is expected to exist between the start of City service responsibilities for the Annexation Areas and the establishment of a new tax rate area by the Board of Equalization. Should that interim period occur the County Chief Financial Officer shall calculate a payment (“Interim Payment”) due and payable from the County to the City no later than August 31 for the prior fiscal year. The Interim Payment shall be calculated based on the value of property taxes that would have been transferred from the County to the City had the new tax rate area been previously in effect and the proportional share due to the city based on the fraction of the fiscal year that the City was responsible for service provision.
The foregoing distributions are based on Property Tax Revenue currently allocated to the County General Fund. Revenues currently allocated to the County Accumulated Capital Outlay (ACO) Fund, County Library, and to County Road District No. 2 shall, after annexation, be allocated 100% to the City. It is understood that ACO funds shall be used for curb, gutter, sidewalk and street improvements in the Westucky, Barnard Street, and/or Pirmi Rice Areas. All allocations shall occur after the shift to the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund and all distributions to Special Districts pursuant to Section 6, below. The County Auditor will work with the State Board of Equalization to establish separate tax rate areas for each annexation occurring within the Annexation Areas prior to the allocation and distribution of Property Tax Revenue under this Agreement.
5. Sales and Use Tax Distribution Methodology. The Parties agree that, as to the Barnard Street Annexation Area only, Sales and Use Tax Revenue shall be distributed fifty percent (50%) to the County and fifty percent (50%) to the City following the Annexation Date.
6. Allocation to Other Public Entities. For all Annexation Areas, the City shall receive all Property Tax Revenue allocated to the Springlake Fire Protection District, Library District and Road District beginning in the first fiscal year following the completion of detachment proceedings.
7. Exchange by County Auditor. The Parties agree that all of the exchanges of Property Tax Revenue required by this Agreement shall be performed by the County Auditor in the customary time and manner for such exchanges based on other similar agreements with local jurisdictions.
9. Dispute Resolution. Disputes arising under this Agreement will be resolved, whenever possible, through the process of meeting and conferring in good faith. To that end, in the event of a dispute as to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:
A. Either party will provide the other, as soon as reasonably possible after an event giving rise to concern, a written notice setting forth, with specificity, the issues to be resolved;
B. The parties will meet and confer in a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute through negotiation no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the notice, unless both parties agree in writing to an extension of time;
C. If the dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the parties within 30 calendar days after the first meeting, then either party may seek to have the dispute resolved by arbitration offered by JAMS;
D. Each party shall bear its own costs, attorneys’ fees and one half the costs and expenses of JAMS and the arbitrator. There shall be a single neutral named by mutual agreement of the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator within 30 days of initially receiving a list of qualified individuals, JAMS shall select the arbitrator;
E. The provisions of Section 1283.05 of the California Code of Civil Procedure will apply to the arbitration; however, no discovery authorized by that section may be conducted absent good cause and leave of the arbitrator. The arbitral award will be in writing, and provide reasons for the decision. However, either party may file an appeal pursuant to the procedures authorized by JAMS.
10. Development Impact Fees.
A. The City will require each developer within the Annexation Area to pay the County’s Facilities Fees adopted pursuant to Chapter 14 of Title 3 of the Yolo County Code, as the fees may be amended from time to time (the “Capital Facilities Authorization and Fee Ordinance”). The City will fulfill this obligation by including the requirement in any development agreement or condition of approval adopted in connection with a development project proposed within the Annexation Area. Prior to issuance of building permits for construction of new building square footage, the City
will require the developer to confirm payment of applicable County Development Impact Fees to the County, all in accordance with the Capital Facilities Authorization and Fee Ordinance.
B. County agrees to allow the payment of County Development Impact Fees to be deferred to the time of final certificate of occupancy on all permits for which the City of Woodland has agreed to defer City Development Impact Fees owed by the project.
D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City shall have no liability under this Section to County if the Capital Facilities Authorization and Fee Ordinance and/or the fee provisions of this Section are determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid.
11. Mutual Defense; Waiver of Retroactive Recovery. If the validity of this Agreement is challenged in a legal action by a party other than City or County, then the Parties agree to jointly defend the legal action and share equally all related costs, fees, and expenses arising from the action. Further, the Parties hereby waive any right to the retroactive recovery of any City or County tax revenues exchanged pursuant to this Agreement prior to the date on which such legal action is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction. The remedy available in any such legal action shall be limited to a prospective invalidation of the Agreement.
12. Amendment. This Agreement and all of the covenants and conditions set forth herein may be modified or amended only by a writing duly authorized and executed by the Parties.
13. Reformation. The Parties understand and agree that this Agreement is based upon existing California law and that such law may be substantially amended in the future. In the event California law is amended and this Agreement is rendered invalid or otherwise substantially affected in a manner that denies either party the full benefit of its terms, the Parties agree to renegotiate the Agreement in good faith with the goal of reaching a new arrangement that as closely as possible approximates the arrangement set forth herein.
14. Effect of Agreement. This Agreement applies solely to the Annexation Areas specifically identified herein and Property Tax Revenues and Sales and Use Tax Revenues in each such area. It does not constitute a master tax sharing agreement or an agreement on property tax exchanges that may be required for any other annexation to the City, nor does it alter or enlarge any other revenue sharing obligations of the Parties.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 1, 2022
ITEM #: J.16
SUBJECT: SUBJECT: First Reading of Tree Ordinance
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: (1) Receive the staff report; (2) Conduct a public hearing; (3) Introduce and waive the first reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 12.48 Trees; and (4) Schedule second reading and adoption of the Ordinance for the December 6, 2022, City Council meeting.
Staff Contact:
Christine Engel, Community Services Director, (530) 661-2000, [email protected]; Erika Bumgardner, Principal Planner, (530) 661-5886, [email protected]; and Megan Meier, Associate Planner, (530) 661-5814, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
Fiscal impacts will be related to increased staff time to review and process associated documents for proposed tree removals, as well as staff time associated with the new process for reviewing tree removals with the Urban Forest Subcommittee. Fees to cover staff time can be added to the fee schedule for additional costs to implement the ordinance for properties other than existing residential properties.
Background:
The City of Woodland historically has had an ordinance to protect public trees, reported as early as 1940. The most recent tree ordinance largely regulates city-owned trees. The ordinance regulates the planting, removal and preservation of heritage trees, landmark trees, specimen trees, and street trees on public property and specified private property within the City. The current ordinance regulates major maintenance (limbs 3 inches in diameter or more) and removal of street trees by the public, with the issuance of a tree permit from the City.
It also identifies a process for development projects, requiring the preparation of a tree plan to identify trees proposed for removal and those to be retained with limited obligation for replacement of removed trees. The current ordinance is silent on both commercial and residential properties not associated with a development application. There is no protection for trees of any size (including tree removal) located on private commercial or residential property.
In 2010, the city had approximately 13,000 public trees. The city now has over 16,000 public trees. In 2020, the Woodland Tree Foundation counted some of the largest and perhaps oldest trees in Woodland; 205 valley oaks (private and public) measuring over 40 inches in diameter within the city limits. Maintaining the tree canopy (minimizing the loss of existing trees) provides benefits to the community, including energy savings, air quality improvements, carbon dioxide reductions, water quality improvements, visual quality benefits, health benefits, and benefits to wildlife. The City Council has demonstrated their commitment to protecting the City’s urban forest over the years by adopting the 2017 Woodland Climate Action Plan, as well as the 2019 Woodland Urban Forest Master Plan. The Climate Action Plan identifies increasing the community’s tree canopy cover to 25% by 2035. The most recent tree canopy assessment indicated that the average canopy cover (public and private) across Woodland was 14.5% (compared to 6.9% average tree canopy identified in 2009). Furthermore, the City Council’s current goals include improving the quality of life for Woodland residents with a key strategy of focusing on sustainability and resiliency to climate change.
Over the years, there have been discussions about ways to improve the City’s tree ordinance to address current
deficits. In 2018, changes to the Tree Ordinance were presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission, as well as the Sustainability Advisory Committee. On December 18, 2018, the City Council directed staff to evaluate options for protecting trees located on residential property, a voluntary program and a mandated program. A committee of concerned citizens spent a considerable amount of time since 2018 reviewing other city’s tree ordinances and recommending changes to the city’s tree ordinance. Various iterations of requirements have been discussed since then, including whether the City should regulate trees on private residential property, how the City can make the removal of City trees more transparent to the public, how the City can better regulate trees on undeveloped commercial and residential property, and how the City can ensure tree planting requirements are maintained after development has been completed on commercial property.
On December 7, 2021, the City Council received a presentation on the proposed changes to the tree ordinance.
The council supported the changes presented by staff and directed them to work with the City Attorney to draft the revisions, as discussed at the council meeting, to the ordinance for council consideration.
Discussion:
In general, changes to the ordinance are as follows:
Public Trees – Currently, the City Arborist makes determinations about which city-owned trees should be removed. Under the proposed ordinance, a subcommittee (Urban Forest Subcommittee) of the Parks & Recreation Commission, joined by one member of the Sustainability Advisory Committee (in an advisory capacity), would review a list of proposed removals (proposed either by the public or City staff) and make a recommendation on the proposed removals (with the exception of emergency removals). Trees recommended for removal would be posted with a notice informing the public of the proposed removal, a minimum of 14 days before the subcommittee considers the removal (this would allow the public to voice their concerns in writing or in person at an Urban Forest Subcommittee meeting). All trees approved for removal by the subcommittee will be posted a minimum of 48-hours in advance of such removal. If the subcommittee does not recommend the removal of a tree, and City staff still supports the removal of the tree, the item will be brought forward to the City Council for a determination.
The current and proposed ordinance also both include requirements related to the public's requests to perform major maintenance or remove city-owned trees. The current and proposed process requires the property owner to submit a tree permit application to the City for staff to render a decision on necessary maintenance or removal. Under the proposed ordinance, the Urban Forest subcommittee would make a decision in regards to the removal of a tree (decisions related to major maintenance work would be made at the staff level), similar to the process described above for public trees recommended for removal by the City. All trees proposed for removal will be posted 48-hours in advance of such removal. Under this scenario, removals that are not supported by the Urban Forest subcommittee could be appealed to the Parks & Recreation Commission, and ultimately to the City Council.
Activities exempted from the ordinance that relate to public trees include allowing a fronting property owner to perform maintenance work on a street tree (branches less than 3-inches in diameter) as well as maintenance performed by a public utility company. Volunteers are also able to plant trees in the City's right-of-way under the guidance and direction of the City. Additionally, the City may perform major maintenance work as needed and tree removals as a result of a storm/failure when the City arborist has made a determination that the immediate removal is necessary to protect public health and safety.
Results of the subcommittee meetings (where trees were approved for removal) will be posted on the City’s webpage.
Trees on Private Residential Property – The current ordinance is silent on regulating trees on residential property. The proposed ordinance outlines a process to educate the property owner on the potential removal of
heritage oaks located anywhere on the residential property (valley oaks greater than 33-inches dbh) or trees 24- inches dbh or greater within 20-feet back of walk. Trees (other than heritage oaks) in backyards or beyond 20- feet back of walk would not be regulated. This process does not involve the issuance of a tree removal permit by the City, or require the City to decide whether or not a tree can be removed. This revision is intended to help the homeowner make a decision about the removal of trees based on input from a certified arborist.
The property owner would be required to submit a Tree Modification Review Form to the Director of Community Services prior to the removal of any heritage oak located anywhere on a residential property or any tree 24-inches dbh or greater located within 20-feet back of walk on a residential property. The application would need to include a bid from a company with an ISA certified arborist for the removal of the tree and also for conducting major maintenance. This approach would then allow a conversation to occur between the contractor and the homeowner so that they better understand their options for tree removal. The owner would also need to submit an encroachment permit application if removal of a tree is planned. Encroachment permits for the removal of heritage oaks and trees 24-inches dbh or greater will not be issued until City staff have reviewed the quotes from the arborist. Additionally, if property owners decide to remove a tree, only contractors that have an ISA certified arborist on staff may conduct tree maintenance and removal services with the City of Woodland.
Staff has added a requirement that the above process extend to conducting major maintenance of any heritage oak on a private residential property or any tree 24-inches dbh of greater within 20-feet back of walk. Major maintenance is defined as major trimming or pruning or cabling, and any other similar act which promotes the life, growth, health or beauty of trees, except watering and minor pruning. Major trimming and pruning means the removal of branches of three inches in diameter or greater. This new requirement was added to prevent unnecessary topping of trees and pruning that could lead to degraded health of the tree.
Development Projects – The current ordinance requires an application for a commercial or residential development project to include a “tree preservation plan” identifying those existing on-site trees to be removed and those to be preserved in relation to the development proposal. No changes are proposed to that requirement. Where this section of the ordinance is currently lacking is that there is no written standard for the governing body approving the tree plan to use to approve or deny a request for the removal of certain priority trees (i.e. heritage oak, established trees, etc.) as a result of the development proposal. To remedy this void, it is recommended that this section of the ordinance be amended to include a requirement that a “finding,” as noted below, be made by the applicable governing body authorizing the removal of certain trees:
“Any street tree, heritage, specimen, and landmark tree or any established tree approved for removal shall require a finding that the tree is of poor health, or that the tree poses a health, life or safety risk, and/or that there is no cost feasible means of preserving the tree in a safe and viable manner and no appropriate or feasible design alternatives exist to preserve the tree. Such finding shall be made by the applicable governing entity or body responsible for approving the development project/entitlement.”
In some cases, where the poor health of a tree is not readily apparent, an arborist report may be required.
Tree Replacement Program – For trees approved for removal as part of a tree plan or trees approved for removal on non-residential property, the current ordinance requires a “tree replacement program” based on the type of tree proposed for removal. Generally, trees must be replaced at a 2:1 or 4:1 ratio for each six inches of the diameter of the removed tree, either through new planting on-site or through the payment of an in-lieu fee. No changes are proposed to these requirements. To encourage the preservation of well-established and healthy trees within the community and to ensure replacement of those removed that are otherwise in good health, staff recommends that in addition to requiring the replacement of heritage, specimen or landmark trees approved for removal, the ordinance also includes the replacement of “established trees” (i.e. any species of tree with a trunk diameter of 12-inches dbh in good health) at a 2:1 ratio for each six inches of the diameter of the removed tree.
Willful Destruction of Trees Located on Commercial and Undeveloped Residential Property – The current ordinance is silent on the regulation of trees proposed for removal on developed or undeveloped properties where a development application is not under consideration. In other words, an owner of a commercial, mixed-use or industrial zoned property could remove any tree on their property, including heritage oaks, with no evaluation or approval required by the City. City staff have been made aware of instances where a commercial property owner will remove trees on site (including heritage oaks) just before a development application is submitted to the City which would otherwise require a tree plan and authorization to remove certain trees.
To address this issue, it is recommended that the ordinance requires that non-residential property owners and owners of vacant/undeveloped residential property obtain approval prior to removal of heritage oak trees, landmarks, specimens or established trees on their property, regardless of entitlement status. The same process and replacement requirements for removal of trees on properties associated with a development application would then apply, as noted above (i.e. 2:1 or 4:1 replacement of healthy trees approved for removal). A property owner would be required to submit a tree plan identifying the tree(s) proposed for removal and the applicable governing body or, if no development application had been submitted, the Community Development Director, would approve or deny the request based on a finding that the tree is of poor health, or that the tree poses a health, life or safety risk, and/or that there is no cost feasible means of preserving the tree in a safe and viable manner. An arborist report may be required to verify the health of the tree. See Section 2, Trees on Private Residential Properties, above for proposed regulations pertaining to removal of trees on developed residential properties.
Replacement and/or Removal of Trees on an Existing Non-Residential Development Site – A new section to the ordinance is recommended that speaks to the replacement and/or removal of trees on existing, developed sites. For example, staff received requests for the removal of parking lot shade trees required as part of an original project approval, but that have become unhealthy or in some cases, tree roots have caused damage to the parking surface and have created unsafe pedestrian conditions. It is recommended that the ordinance be amended to allow for the removal of unhealthy trees or trees that pose a life or safety hazard and these removed trees be replaced in-kind at a 1:1 ratio subject to an arborist report and substantially consistent with a prior approved landscape plan. Additionally, it is recommended that a new section be added which speaks to the removal of trees to allow for the installation of solar canopies and/or electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. For the installation of solar canopies or EV chargers, it is suggested that the ordinance language recommends retaining established trees where possible, and prohibits the removal of heritage oaks for this purpose.
Maintenance of Trees and Landscaping – A new section to the ordinance is recommended to codify the following: A. Owner of non-residential development site shall complete the installation of landscaping and trees in accordance with approved landscaped plans, and B. Owner shall maintain landscaping and trees in healthy and attractive condition as determined by City, and consistent with the approved landscape plan and Landscape Maintenance Agreement.
Staff requires a signed and recorded Landscape Maintenance Agreement for new development projects that include, as part of their site planning and design approval, the installation of new trees and landscaping. This proposed section simply acknowledges and reinforces the requirement for ongoing maintenance of development project landscaping.
Miscellaneous Changes
Contractor Requirement: The proposed ordinance includes a requirement stating that only contractors that have an ISA certified arborist on staff may conduct tree maintenance and removal services within the City of Woodland and that they must have a valid City of Woodland business license. When encroachment permits are issued, proof of the vendors' ISA certified arborist must also be provided.
Emergency Response: The proposed ordinance allows for owners to take necessary actions to minimize hazardous conditions resulting from a limb/tree failure. When emergency action is taken, the owner must notify the City by the next working day.
Landmark Trees: With the dissolution of the Historical Preservation Commission, the designation of landmark trees will be considered by the Parks & Recreation Commission and the urban forestry group prior to the item being considered by the City Council.
Violations: As proposed, anyone that violates the chapter (the injury, mutilation or death of a street tree, heritage oak tree, specimen tree, landmark tree, or established tree) would be responsible for the cost of repair and/or replacement of such a tree, including enforcement costs. For any heritage oak removed on a residential property without the submittal of a tree modification review form, a $1000 administrative fine shall apply. Removal of a tree 24 to 26-inches dbh within 20-feet back of walk, other than a heritage oak, without submittal of a tree modification review form shall be subject to a $500 fine and trees greater than 36 inch dbh, a $1000 fine. For the unauthorized removal of protected trees on commercial or undeveloped residential properties, the violator shall be responsible for an administrative fine of $500 or $1,000 and replacement in accordance with the replacement program and ratios outlined in the ordinance (Section 12.48.150 Tree Replacement Program). The ordinance provides that the violations related to street trees or unauthorized removal of protected trees on commercial or undeveloped residential properties, the violator will be potentially subject to a separate fine for each tree removed, for each day from the time the tree or trees were removed, until the approved replacement trees are planted or payment in-lieu replacement fees are paid.
While there has been input provided by the citizen subcommittee that the impacts of violating this ordinance are not severe enough, the City does not have the authority to impose fines greater than $1,000. For residential properties (developed single family homes), the intent of this ordinance is to educate the property owner on the value of their tree in order to minimize tree removals in the city. The ordinance does not give the City discretion on whether the homeowner keeps or removes the tree. Therefore, the violation of paying an administrative fee is tied to the process of whether or not they submitted a Tree Modification Review Form, and City staff believe this is an appropriate fine. We are not requiring the homeowner to plant replacement trees as we are not making a decision on whether or not they can remove the tree on their property. For tree removal on other types of properties, the ordinance requires that for each violation, a fine and tree replacement is required under the ordinance. The property owner can either replace the trees or pay an in lieu fee. Given that the ordinance treats each tree removed and each day until the tree is replaced as a separate violation, unauthorized tree removal could result in significant fines, and City staff believes these penalties will be an adequate deterrent in most cases.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council: (1) Receive the staff report; (2) Conduct a public hearing; (3) Introduce and waive the first reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 12.48 Trees; and (4) Schedule second reading and adoption of the Ordinance for the December 6, 2022, City Council meeting.

ITEM #: K.17
SUBJECT: Urgency Ordinance Prohibiting Truck and Trailer Parking, Storage, and Overhaul in the Industrial Zone
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council 1) Receive information about the proposed Urgency Ordinance; and 2) Adopt an urgency ordinance prohibiting the processing and/or approval of any and all Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal Facilities in the Industrial (I) Zone in the City of Woodland; and 3) Direct staff to prepare necessary zoning amendments to address truck and trailer parking, storage and repair uses in the Industrial district.
Staff Contact:
Cindy Norris, Principal Planner, (530) 661-5911, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
Requires staff and City Attorney time to prepare this and required follow up analysis concerning the urgency ordinance and future zoning code update to address truck and trailer parking and storage in the Industrial zone.
Background:
Existing City Zoning Code Provisions
The City’s existing Zoning Code regulates the location of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul in the Industrial (I) zone, which are allowed as a permitted use where not adjacent to residential areas.
Existing Conditions
The City has been experiencing a significant increase in uses that provide for the parking, long term storage, repair and overhaul, of large trucks and trailers in multiple zones. In the Industrial/Light Industrial Flex (I/LIF) zone, the storage and parking of large trucks and trailers, and major repair is subject to either a zoning administrator permit or a conditional use permit. Outdoor storage (including trucks or trailers) in the I/LIF zone is only allowed as an accessory use on a site with a permitted primary use and structure, and all outdoor storage must be screened. The city has several on-going code enforcement cases regarding illegal truck storage facilities in the I/LIF zone that have occupied sites in a manner that is not consistent with current Zoning Code requirements.
In the I zone, the parking, storage, repair and overhaul are allowed as permitted uses where they are not adjacent to residential areas. Such uses generally require larger amounts of land, and do not generally provide for site improvements, employ local workers, or provide point of sale revenue. In addition, uses with large numbers of trucks degrade the city’s roadway network but have not required to invest in funding future improvements. Further, these sites tend to be minimally improved due to the low cost to operate and remove valuable land from potential development desired under the City's General Plan. These facilities are often located in areas that have higher tax rate areas, but generate little to no property tax. Further, such uses can present a negative image to existing and prospective desirable businesses, and damage the vitality and synergistic opportunities in the Industrial zone, thereby harming the overall development potential in the community. The General Plan includes policy 2.A.2, which states that the City should maintain high expectations for development as land is a finite resource, given the City’s Urban Limit Line. Other related
General Plan polices include policy 3.K.2, which provides that the city, consider user fees or maintenance districts to address transportation infrastructure maintenance needs, policy 4.A.1, which states that the city shall focus on projects that will maximize long-term net revenues and diversify the city's economic base, and policy
4.B.3 which requires new development to pay its fair share of needed public facilities and infrastructure improvements and maintenance.
Recently, the city received interest in a larger truck parking facility (over 500 trucks) on a property located along the city’s eastern boundary. The extent of the number of trucks proposed would create a significant impact on the city. This type of facility takes up large amounts of valuable land area that is often located in areas that have higher base tax rates. These uses generally have very low employment and generate no sales tax. Therefore, it is staff's opinion that such uses do not promote the City’s goals of achieving aesthetic, fiscal health, or fostering economic growth in the community.
The proliferation of truck parking, storage, and repair and overhaul uses in Woodland, particularly in the industrial zones, poses a threat to public health, safety and welfare in that expansion of such uses depreciates the potential tax base, presents a negative image to existing and prospective desirable business, and damages the vitality and synergistic opportunities in the industrial district thereby harming the overall development potential in the community.
The City did not anticipate the number and intensity of proposed inquiries in the industrial zones for truck parking, storage, repair and overhaul facilities, and the City Council finds that there are resulting impacts previously unanticipated by the City.
At this time, staff is recommending that the City Council consider a moratorium in the form of an urgency ordinance that prohibits, Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal, and Repair and Overhaul facilities from locating in the Industrial District of the City of Woodland until staff is able to modify the Zoning Ordinance for the Industrial (I) Zone to limit or prohibit such uses as part of the Comprehensive Zoning Code update.
Discussion:
Urgency Ordinance
The City Council may adopt an urgency ordinance, which would go into effect immediately and remain in effect for 45 days unless extended within those 45 days. An interim urgency ordinance requires a 4/5 vote for adoption and requires the City Council to make findings that the interim ordinance is being adopted for the immediate protection of public health, safety, and welfare. The intent of such an urgency ordinance would be for it to remain in effect only until the City Council adopts an ordinance to regulate truck parking facilities within the City of Woodland to prevent further over-saturation and to avoid impacts associated with such uses.
The proposed ordinance would go into effect immediately and would be in effect for 45 days, unless further extended once for 10 months 15 days, and a second time for a year by the City Council following a noticed public hearing. It is the staff's intent to evaluate this issue in connection with the comprehensive zoning code update process.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council 1) Receive information about the proposed Urgency Ordinance; and 2) Adopt an urgency ordinance prohibiting the processing and/or approval of any and all Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer pParking, Park and Ride lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal Facilities in the Industrial (I) Zone in the City of Woodland; and 3) Direct staff to prepare necessary zoning amendments to address truck and trailer parking, storage and repair uses in the Industrial district.

ANY AND ALL TRUCK AND TRAILER PARKING, STORAGE, AND
REPAIR AND OVERHAUL FACILITIES IN THE INDUSTRIAL
DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND, TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF
WHEREAS, the existing truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities located in the City and have been allowed under the City’s Zoning Code to operate in the industrial zone as a permitted use; and
WHEREAS, the following uses as stated in Table 3, Section 17.92.020, are specifically the subject of this Urgency Ordinance: “Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, including truck and trailer parking, park and ride lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities” in the Industrial (I) Zone, and shall be referred to generally as truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities.
WHEREAS, the City Council approved the 2035 General Plan, which envisions a prosperous and fiscally sound community that offers abundant employment opportunities to its residents as well as a destination for visitors desiring to experience the City’s unique agricultural, historical, recreational, cultural, and entertainment amenities; and WHEREAS, the Interim Zoning Code did not address areas that are zoned Industrial, where truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities are allowed as a permitted, by-right use; and
WHEREAS, the proliferation of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul uses in Woodland, particularly in the Industrial Zone, through conversion of limited valuable limited land, existing facilities or development of new, poses a threat to the public health, safety and welfare in that expansion of such uses damages existing roadways, depreciates the potential tax base, presents a negative image to existing and prospective desirable business, and damages the vitality and synergistic opportunities in the industrial district thereby harming the overall development potential in the community; and
WHEREAS, truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities do not promote the City’s goals of achieving either aesthetic or fiscal health of the community, do not foster economic growth, do not promote the City’s agricultural heritage or an environmentally sustainable community, and the City is becoming increasingly concerned about the over-saturation of such facilities in the City and the increased interest in locating even more truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities within the City’s Industrial Zone; and WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to adopt a moratorium that prohibits truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities from locating in the Industrial Zone of the City of Woodland; and
WHEREAS, during the pendency of this moratorium, the City Council has directed City staff to
prepare an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to regulate truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities within the Industrial Zone of the City of Woodland; and WHEREAS, this urgency ordinance is adopted pursuant to the requirements of Government Code section 65858 and shall be in effect for 45 days unless further extended by the City Council of the City of Woodland.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Used Identified in Table 17.92.020 as Subject to the Moratorium:
The following uses are listed in the Zoning Code Table 3 - Permitted uses in the Industrial Zone, as subject to the moratorium:
Auto, Boat, RV, Bus, Truck and Trailer Service:
oRepair and Overhaul
Industrial Yard Uses:
oParking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride lots oRV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage
oTruck Terminals
Section 2. Findings.
The City Council of the City of Woodland hereby makes the following findings in support of the immediate adoption and application of this urgency interim Ordinance regulating truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the City of Woodland:
A. The City currently has an over-concentration of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities within its borders and has recently seen an increase in inquiries to locate even more such facilities within the City. The Woodland Zoning Code permits truck and trailer parking, storage and repair and overhaul facilities in industrial zones leading to this over- concentration.
B. The Land Use Element of the City’s 2035 General Plan includes specific goals and policies that aim to minimize land use conflicts and develop a logical pattern of land use as well as to upgrade the City’s appearance and establish a strong economic base. Specifically, Goal 2.A of the City’s General Plan provides that the City will support sustainable growth through orderly, well planned development that provides for economic growth, strong social ties, protection of the environment, an enhanced quality of life, and preservation of Woodland’s community character and agricultural heritage. The General Plan includes a policy that the City should maintain high expectations for development as land is a finite resource, especially given the City’s Urban Limit Line. The City Council finds that the large number of existing truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities and the potential for additional facilities is inconsistent with the General Plan’s goals of economic growth and high expectations for development.
C. The City of Woodland is a small city. Due to its small size, the proliferation of
truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the City has the potential to adversely affect the City’s economic and aesthetic environments by over-saturating the City with such facilities for storage purposes rather than with research and development, manufacturing, and industrial uses that the City is endeavoring to promote.
D. The large number of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities within and around the City of Woodland contribute to an overall negative aesthetic image and do not promote complete neighborhoods, active living, neighborhood interaction, or economic development.
E. Adoption of a moratorium on truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities will provide the City with an opportunity to review and revise its Zoning Ordinance in order to prevent the current over-proliferation of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the City from further expanding.
F. Due to the City’s need to study and review its Zoning Ordinance, it is urgent that the City study and evaluate the options available to it regarding regulation of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities to prevent the adverse impacts that may result from continued approvals and conditional approvals of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the Industrial zone of the City.
G. Based on the above findings and all evidence in the record, there is a need to enact an urgency interim ordinance establishing a moratorium on all new truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities within the Industrial Zone in the City of Woodland. This Ordinance is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare. It is the intent of the City Council that this Ordinance take effect immediately pursuant to Section 65858 of the Government Code.
Section 3. Moratorium. Based on the facts and findings set forth in the recitals and Section 2 of this Ordinance, the City of Woodland hereby establishes a moratorium on the establishment of new truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the Industrial Zone of the City of Woodland. No new application for a building permit, business permit, conditional use permit, or any entitlement for the establishment or expansion of a truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facility shall be processed or approved in the Industrial Zone during the term of the moratorium.
Section 4. Moratorium Term. This Ordinance shall expire, and the moratorium established herein shall terminate, 45 days after the date of its adoption unless extended by the City Council, at a regularly noticed public hearing, pursuant to California Government Code section 65858.
Section 5. Planning Study. The Community Development Director shall commence the review of the Zoning Ordinance and shall prepare all items necessary and appropriate in order to recommend to the City Council the appropriate Zoning Ordinance amendments and criteria for further regulation of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities as part of the comprehensive zoning code update process.
Section 6. CEQA Finding. The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this Ordinance and establishment of a moratorium on
truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities will have a significant effect on the environment because the Ordinance will maintain current levels of development and will not permit any truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facility that may have a significant impact on aesthetics or traffic levels. It is therefore exempt from any California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
Section 7. Certification and Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published once in a newspaper in the City of Woodland.

DATE: November 1, 2022
ITEM #: K.18
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2022/23 Quarterly Budget Update
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive an informational report representing the FY2022/23 First Quarter Budget Update.
Staff Contact:
Evis Morales, Finance Officer (530) 661-5923, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
This informational item represents City-wide revenue and expenditures for (1) unaudited results for all periods of activity in fiscal year (FY) 2021/22 and (2) results through the first three months of fiscal year 2022/23.
Discussion:
The 2021/22 fiscal year can be characterized as a quasi-normal fiscal year as the City was finally recovering from closures and operational impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenues have been difficult to project in the last few fiscal years due to the COVID pandemic. However, the FY2021/22 budget was revised at midyear with the best information available and projections that were considered more reliable as the City began to normalize and began to see revenues as they were pre-COVID. As is the case each year, staff relied on consultant expertise and analysis for General Fund sales tax revenues. Staff also relied on revenue trends during the fiscal year and department level projections to best determine the expected outcome of City revenues. To that end, revenue exceeded the City's amended budget and staff projections in most revenue categories. Specifically, the General Fund revenues exceeded projections by $3.38 million.
During preparation of the FY2022/23 budget, the best information available to staff was used to forecast revenues and expenses. As the fiscal year continues to progress, staff will continually be reviewing and updating projections as information becomes available. These projections will reflect a generally more positive outlook on revenues as the economic impacts of the pandemic have become less volatile on most of the larger revenue sources for the City. This updated information will also inform the development of the FY2023/24 budget, which begins in November 2022.
This report and the related attachments summarize revenue and expenditure results for all City funds through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021/22 and through the first quarter of fiscal year 2022/23. In addition, the report highlights revenues and expenditures specifically in the General Fund through the same time periods.
Highlights of the fiscal year 2021/22 results (Attachment A) include the following:
o All Funds revenues through fiscal year-end FY2021/22 were $265.88 million or 107% of the amended budget.
o General Fund revenues totaled $77.01 million, $3.38 million more than the amended budget. Most of the General Fund revenue categories met and/or exceeded projected budgets.
Sales Tax and Licenses/Permits exceeded projections for a combined $2.58 million. o Through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021/22, expenditures in all funds totaled $211.1 million, or 66% of the amended budget. All fund categories completed the year with expenditures within the amended budget.
o The General Fund ended the year with $69.74 million in expenses, which is $6.84 million less than the amended budget. The savings are largely due to savings in American Rescue Plan Revenue Recovery funds that were appropriated to the General Fund for project expenses and Measure J programming. Many of the Council approved projects will continue into fiscal year 2022/23 and remaining funds have been carried-over to the new fiscal year. o At the end of fiscal year 2021/22, department operating expenditures were, for the most part, within the approved appropriations.
o Capital Improvements expenditures totaled $34.84 million, which underspent the budget by $69.14 million. Capital projects are typically long-term in nature and span multiple fiscal years, and because of this, the remaining balances in funds have been carried-over into FY2022/23. o The total ending fund balance in the General Fund was expected to be $19.53 million for the fiscal year 2021/22 or 31.3% of revenues at the mid-year update. The actual fund balance at the end of FY2020/21 is $22.57 million or 34.4% of revenues, an increase of $3.04 million over the projected amount.
Highlights of the fiscal year 2022/23 results (Attachment B) include the following:
o All Funds revenues through the first quarter of fiscal year 2022/23 are $30.3 million, or 16% of the amended budget.
o General Fund revenues are $5.2 million or 8% of the amended budget, with many of the City’s major tax revenues yet to be collected during the current fiscal year. o Through the first quarter of FY2022/23, expenditures for all funds totaled $43.5 million, or 15% of the amended budget. General Fund expenditures totaled $14.8 million, or 19% of the amended budget.
o At the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2022/23, all departments appear to be tracking closely to the budget.
Although the fiscal year 2021/22 final results were better than projected, the City's General Fund forecast will continue to be a challenge as staff is still projecting a growing structural deficit through FY2026/27. Fund Balance will be an important factor in assisting with the development of balancing plans and targeted investment in high priority one-time funding needs. This quarterly report does not provide updated projections for the anticipated General Fund outcomes in FY2022/23. So far, preliminary revenue performance and indications of year-end outcomes appear to be favorable. Some revenues, like property taxes, sales taxes and transient occupancy taxes (TOT) are performing in line with or better than the amended budget. Staff continues to receive quarterly updates from the City's sales tax consultant and will receive another update prior to the end of the calendar year.
The next budget update provided to the City Council will be the mid-year budget update, which provides updated projections through the remainder of the current fiscal year and informs the development of the FY2023/24 budget.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive an informational report representing the FY2022/23 First Quarter Budget Update.

ALL FUNDS REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Table 1 – All Funds Revenues
All Funds revenues through fiscal year-end FY2021/22 were $265.88 million or 107% of the amended budget.
General Fund revenues totaled $77.01 million, $3.38 million more than the amended budget. Table 4 provides more detail regarding General Fund revenues. Special Revenue funds generated $56.73 million or 117% of the amended budget.
Revenue captured in this category is mostly based on grant reimbursements and follows project expenses throughout the fiscal year.
Development/Capital funds generated $19.34 million or $2.51 million more than the amended budget, due in large part to better than expected Development Impact fees. This additional revenue assists in reducing inter-fund loan balances accumulated from assisting with debt service and helps to improve fund balance deficits created by advancing significant priority projects throughout the early 2000’s. Spring Lake funds generated $28.5 million or 97% of the amended budget.
Enterprise Funds collected $55.78 million or 107% of the amended budget. Revenue generated in excess of amended budget is due to increase in water/sewer service charges.

Internal Service fund revenues were $19.28 million or 93% of the amended budget. Successor Agency revenues were $823,049 or 91% of the amended budget. Successor Agency revenue is used to repay debt service on former Redevelopment Agency debt obligations and is calculated each year and submitted to the State Department of Finance. Agency funds are primarily pass-through special assessment funds. The revenues in these funds totaled $6.88 million or $1.26 million higher than the amended budget due to the continuation building of residential units in Spring Lake that are also contributing to the annual assessment (Mello-Roos) as well as some early pre-payments of bonds by some property owners within Spring Lake.
Table 2 – All Funds Expenditures by Fund Type
Through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021/22, all funds expenditures totaled $211.1 million, or 66% of the amended budget. All fund categories completed the year with expenditures within the amended budget.
The General Fund ended the year with $69.74 million in expenses, which is $6.84 million less than the amended budget. The savings are largely due to savings in American Rescue Plan Revenue Recovery funds that were appropriated to the General Fund for project expenses and Measure J programming. Many of the Council approved projects will continue into fiscal year 2022/23 and remaining funds have been carried-over to the new fiscal year.

Of the $6.84 million in savings across all departments, $4.54 million was re-appropriated to FY2022/23 to complete prior year commitments and continue efforts on project priority goals that span multiple fiscal years. Due to this re-appropriation of funds to FY2021/22, actual savings for FY2021/22 is $2.3 million. General Fund expenditures are discussed in more detail in Table 5.
Enterprise Funds expenditures totaled $47.76 million, or 57% of the amended budget.
Enterprise funds were underspent compared to budget for several reasons, which include the following: $23.2 million in savings from Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) that did not incur expenses compared to their approved budget (refer to the CIP Chart below for a listing of some these projects sorted by fund type); Depreciation of $8.7 million that is pending and has not yet been recorded; $1.49 million in personnel cost savings; and $1.35 million in contract services budget that was not spent during the fiscal year. Special Revenue fund expenditures totaled $41.84 million or 64% of the amended budget.
Special Revenue funds include a variety of fund types, but primarily consist of various federal grants, housing grants and programs, state allocated transportation funding, and special assessment districts (such as Lighting and Landscaping). Special Revenue funds were underspent for the following reasons: $11.75 million in savings from Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) that did not incur expenses compared to their approved budget (refer to the CIP Chart below for a listing of some these projects sorted by fund type); $6.69 million in HomeKey Grant funds were not spent; $1.89 million in Supplies and Services savings; $1.2 million in American Rescue Plan Revenue Recovery project funds were not spent; and $784,484 in personnel cost savings.
Development/Capital funds resulted in $13.96 million or 45% of the amended budget.
Development/Capital funds were underspent largely for the following reasons: $15.3 million in savings due to many Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) that did not incur expenses compared to their approved budget (refer to the CIP Chart below for a listing of some these projects sorted by fund type) and $1.18 million in budgeted Measure F funds that were not needed to assist with the annual Community Center debt service. Successor Agency ended the fiscal year with $500,294 million in expenses or 54% of the amended budget. The budget is based on payments due for loans, but timing of reimbursement depends upon approval of and availability of funds from the State Department of Finance; loan payments will be made in FY22/23. Spring Lake funds ended the fiscal year with $7.05 million in expenses or 26% of the amended budget. Spring Lake funds were underspent largely due to $10.1 million in Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP) expenses that were not incurred compared to their approved budget (refer to the CIP Chart below for a listing of some these projects sorted by fund type); and $10.33 million in planned reimbursements to developers for infrastructure constructed in Spring Lake that were not completed by the end of the year. Agency Funds reflect expenditures of $10.71 million or 98% of the amended budget.
Agency expenses are related to debt service payments for special districts. *All CIP unspent budget will carry-forward to FY2022/23 and be available for planned projects.

Table 3 – All Funds Expenditures by Department
At the end of fiscal year 2021/22, department operating expenditures were within the approved appropriations.
Administrative Services ended with the fiscal year with $18.7 million in expenses or 97% the amended budget across all funds.
Community Development expenditures were under budget by 23% due primarily to supplies and services savings of $1.6 million and $611,570 in personnel. Savings in supplies and services were due to Economic Development approved activities and Environmental Sustainability grants that were carried-forward to FY2022/23. Saving in Personnel occur when staff charge their time to capital and development projects or from various vacancies throughout the fiscal year. The majority of the saving result from engineering staff time spent on CIP projects.
Community Services ended FY2021/22 with $13.0 million in expenditures across all funds or 77% of the amended budget. The majority of the savings were attributed Measure J programs (budgeted to the General Fund) that resulted in $2.44 in savings across all programs with $1.5 million attributed to the Southeast Area pool project; $466,244 in savings were a result of Park Maintenance/Urban Forestry program savings; $885,250 in First Time Homebuyer Program was also unspent (funding has been carried- over to FY2022/23); Savings of $375,599 in funds budgeted out of Measures E/F for parks projects were unspent (funding has been carried-over to FY2022/23); and the Gibson Ranch and Spring Lake Lighting and Landscape districts also had a combined savings and $494,765 across all operations categories.

Public Works ended the year with $21.0 million in expenditures across all funds or 61% of the amended budget. The majority of savings came from $9.7 million in depreciation in Internal Service and Enterprise funds that is pending and has not yet been recorded; $2.6 million in combined personnel vacancies and supplies/services; and $1.56 million in budgeted vehicle/equipment purchases that were not made during FY2022/23. Funding will be included in the FY2022/23 mid-year budget.
Capital Improvements expenditures totaled $34.84 million, which underspent the budget by $69.14 million. Capital projects are typically long-term in nature and span multiple fiscal years, and because of this, the remaining balances in funds have been carried-over into FY2022/23. Large project variances are illustrated in the CIP Chart above. Non-Departmental expenditures totaled $75.07 million or 82% of the amended budget.
Expenditures budgeted in this category consist primarily of debt service payments, interfund transfers, assumed vacancy savings and payments to joint powers authorities.
Variances from budget occurred from timing delays in debt service for the former redevelopment agency, savings from the Woodland Davis Clean Water Agency, and transfers not needed for Measure F loan to Park Development funds, offset by transfers in excess of budget for Measure F revenues received.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Table 4 – General Fund Revenues
Total General Fund revenues at fiscal year-end 2021/22 were $77.0 million, or $3.4 million more than the amended/projected budget. Most of the General Fund revenue categories met and/or exceeded projected budgets.

The majority of this revenue category represents hotel/motel transient occupancy tax (TOT) and property transfer tax that is collected when properties are exchanged. Licenses and Permits revenues exceeded the amended/projected budget by $1.47 million.
This was largely due to the City continued to issuance of building permits in new development areas (Spring Lake) and other development related fees.

Lease/Interest Income resulted in $155,990 in less revenue than the amended budget, however, staff has not finished allocating interest earnings received amongst all funds and expects revenue in this category to fully meet or exceed budget projections. Miscellaneous revenues ended the year with $15.34 million in revenue or 101% of the amended budget. A majority of the revenue in the category was a result of American Rescue Plan revenue recovery which has been committed to various city-wide project and will be spent over the next few fiscal years.
Table 5 – General Fund Expenditures by Category
End-of-year FY2021/22 General Fund expenditures totaled $69.74 million, a savings of $6.84 million from the amended budget, including $2.64 in unspent Measure J funds (of which $1.5 million is has been committed to the Southeast Area Pool Project); $2.0 million in American Rescue Plan (ARP) Revenue Recovery project funds; and $554,585 in Economic Development budget. Although departments were able to realize savings in FY2021/22, $4.54 million was carried over and re-appropriated to FY2022/23 to complete prior year commitments and continue efforts on project priority goals that span multiple fiscal years. Due to this re-appropriation of funds to FY2021/22, actual savings for FY2021/22 is only $2.3 million.
Personnel expenditures were $39.0 million, which is a savings of $385,119 compared to the amended budget. Savings were primarily a result of various vacancies that occurred throughout the year.
Both the Supplies & Services and the Education & Training categories resulted in combined savings of $5.0 million. Much of the achieved savings has been carried-over to FY2022/23 for use on approved activities. These carryovers included money for ARP Revenue Recovery projects, code enforcement, economic development programs, downtown initiatives, parking lot and sidewalk repairs, and Measure J program commitments.
Capital Expenditures were underspent by $107,478 compared to the amended budget.
Savings were a result of Community Services Department equipment purchases that did not occur within FY21/22. Funding has since been carried-over to FY2022/23. Non-discretionary expenditures were $7.36 million or 99% of the amended budget.

Operating Transfers ended the year at $14.05 million or 92% of the amended budget.
This was largely due to the $1.5 million Southeast Area Pool project funding that has since been re-programmed in FY2022/23. Also, the City did exceed its Transfers budget by $206,591 due to better than anticipated Measure F sales tax revenue. This revenue is received into the General Fund and then transferred to the Measure F fund.
Table 6 – General Fund Expenditures by Department
For FY2021/22, all departments managed their budgets and ended the year within their approved appropriations.
Administrative Services achieved savings of $278,123 compared to the amended budget.
The savings were largely in the area of City Attorney’s contract costs and Finance contract services. A portion of the Finance contract services savings has been carried- over to FY2022/23 to pay for commitments such as the citywide audit. Community Development achieved savings $715,190 compared to the amended budget.
Savings were almost entirely in the supplies/services category, and $676,665 was carried- over into FY2022/23 for funding commitments such as code enforcement related clean- up costs, planning studies, and economic development initiatives, including a $500,000 loan for the new hotel projects.
Community Service achieved savings $3.0 million compared to the amended budget. Of the total savings achieved by the department, $2.45 million were from Measure J related programs. Savings included $192,071 in personnel, $1,095,616 in supplies/services, $114,908 in utilities, and $95,478 in capital expenditures and $1.5 million in transfers.

over into FY2022/23. These include costs for replacement of equipment at the Charles Brooks Swim Center, funding for various homeless and Measure J related programs and $1.5 million in Measure J contribution to the Southeast Area Pool Project. Police ended the fiscal year with $22.6 million in expenses, which was $871,313 below the amended budget. Measure J savings of $121,250 are included in this number.
Compared to the amended budget, savings were mostly a result of $464,440 in personnel related savings from various vacant positions, and $442,014 in Supplies & Services. The department did exceed budget in other operational categories, which reduced savings by $39,147. Savings of $328,124 for commitments made during the fiscal year have been carried-over into FY2022/23.
Fire had year-end savings of $67,133 compared to the amended budget. Savings were mostly due to $129,070 in Supplies & Services, $10,263 in education and training expenses and $12,000 in capital expenditures. These savings were partially offset by overages in personnel costs of $76,373. Costs for various commitments made during the fiscal year totaling $78,716 have been carried-over into FY2022/23; these carryovers were possible due to savings achieved in other departments as well. Library ended the fiscal year with $2.1 million in expenses, which is $154,850 less than the amended budget. Of the total savings achieved by the department, $74,367 were from Measure J programs. Funding of $74,413 in supplies/services and book program funding were carried-over into FY2022/23.
Public Works ended the fiscal year with $624,461 in expenses or $63,945 less than the amended budget. Most of the savings were due to a position vacancy throughout much of the year and minor savings in supplies and services.
Non-Departmental expenditures ended the fiscal year with $18.45 million in expenses or $1.7 million less than the amended budget. The FY2021/22 budget in this category includes $5.5 million in costs for projects approved through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) spending plan. At the end of the year, $2.1 million remained unspent and was carried over for re-appropriation in FY2022/23. These budgetary savings were offset by overages in two other areas of non-departmental expenses: (1) the City budgets for vacancy savings in the Non-Departmental category as a negative budget, however, savings are realized at the departmental level; (2) the City exceeded its non-department transfer budget by $263,000 due to better than anticipated Measure F sales tax revenue.
This revenue is received into the General Fund and then transferred to the Measure F fund.
Table 7 – General Fund Forecast
Fiscal Year 2021/22 Results:
The preliminary results for fiscal year 2021/22 show that the General Fund ended the year with excess revenues over expenditures, and a related net increase in unreserved fund balance of $3.03 million compared to the amended budget. In preparation of the fiscal year 2021/22 budget, a net decrease of $2.86 million was assumed. The originally budgeted net decrease in fund balance was attributed to estimated expenditures programmed slightly over projected revenues and one-time funding appropriations.
During the development of the FY 2022/23 budget, projections and budget amendments were made for the ending of the fiscal year 2021/22, revenues were assumed to be $73.63 million; actual results came more than that target by $3.38 million. As discussed in other sections of this report, this variance resulted from more than expected revenue in sales tax and Licenses & Permit revenues. Other revenue categories also exceed projected budgets, but to a lesser degree.
Expenditures ended the year less than amended budget by $6.84 million from a variety of savings in personnel, discretionary supplies and services and utility costs. Of these savings, $4.54 million was carried-over for expenditure in FY2022/23.

savings are unspent Measure J allocations, which are monitored separately from the rest of the General Fund activities, but are reflected in total General Fund numbers.
The total ending fund balance in the General Fund was expected to be $19.53 million for the fiscal year 2021/22 or 31.3% of revenues at the mid-year update. The actual fund balance at the end of FY2020/21 is $22.57 million or 34.4% of revenues, an increase of $3.04 million over the projected amount.
The General Fund forecast, presented with the adoption of the FY2022/23 budget, reflects projected operating deficits over the entire five year forecast timeline. The current fund balance will be a key factor in assisting the City to balance budgets throughout the forecast period and maintain reserves at the policy target of 20% of revenues. The City Council will continue to receive updates on the status of the forecast separately from and in connection with development of the FY2023/24 budget.
Lastly, the City Council adopted a General Fund reserve policy that will serve to guide staff with budget recommendations of excess fund balance through the development of the FY2023/24 budget. Priority for use of excess fund balance is given to payments toward unfunded liabilities and paying down accumulated fund deficits prior to spending money on new projects or initiatives. The guidelines outlined in the reserve policy will be used in developing recommendations as funding requests and opportunities arise throughout the fiscal year and with development of the FY2023/24 budget.
ATTACHMENT B
ALL FUNDS REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Table 1 – All Funds Revenues
All Funds revenues through the first quarter of fiscal year 2022/23 are $30.3 million, or 16% of the amended budget.
General Fund revenues are $5.2 million or 8% of the amended budget, with many of the City’s major tax revenues yet to be collected during the current fiscal year. Special Revenue funds (for the most part) are grant funds that are reimbursed to the City as projects make progress or special assessments with revenues that are received with property tax installments in January and May. Because of this, collection of revenues typically occurs in the later part of each fiscal year. Revenues in Debt Service funds come from transfers from other funds, which are typically recorded at the end of the year.
Development/Capital revenues are $3.85 million or 21% of the amended budget through September 30, 2022. All of the revenues received to date are related to Development Impact fees collected. Measure F funds are also included in the Development/Capital Projects fund category, but sales tax revenues associated with Measure F have not yet been received and transferred to this fund.

Spring Lake revenues are $2.6 million or 28% of the amended budget. All of the revenues received are related to Spring Lake Infrastructure Fees collected from development activity.
Enterprise Fund revenues are tracking as projected and consistent with respective fee studies.
Internal Service Fund revenues are $1.7 million or 8% of the amended budget. These revenues are primarily generated through charges to other funds throughout the year, with some large transfers typically completed later in the fiscal year. Successor Agency revenues are typically received in installments during the year, with revenues based on payments for approved obligations each year. Agency funds are primarily pass-through special assessment funds with revenues received with property taxes in January and May each year. The revenue collected year- to-date is related to interest income earned on bond reserve funds.
Table 2 – All Funds Expenditures by Fund Type
Through the first quarter of FY2022/23, All Funds expenditures totaled $43.5 million, or 15% of the amended budget. General Fund expenditures totaled $14.8 million, or 19% of the amended budget.

Operating expenditures appear to be tracking within budget for all fund types. Internal Service funds reflect expenditures of $5.6 million, or 25% of the amended budget due mostly to up-front payments made for insurance premiums out of the Self Insurance fund and health insurance premium payments from the Benefits fund. Enterprise funds expenditures are $8.5 million or 10% of the amended budget after three months of activity. This low percentage is due primarily to $8.7 million in budgeted depreciation that is not recorded until the end of the fiscal year, $16.2 million in debt service expenditures that generally occur in mid-fiscal year, and $30.4 million in capital project expenses that are yet to be incurred due to timing and project schedules (see CIP Chart below).
Special Revenue funds are at $5.7 million or 15% of the amended budget. Of the amended budget $5.98 million in Project Homekey grant funds for construction of homes at the East Beamer Way campus remain unspent; and $11.8 million in expenditures for capital projects are remaining and tracking lower than expected as a result of some projected that have not yet incurred costs (see CIP Chart below). Development/Capital funds are at $3.0 million or 10% of the amended budget due to many of the planned capital projects budgeted within these funds that are slow in incurring expenses in the first three months of activity this fiscal year. There are $20.1 million in planned project expenses that have yet to be incurred (see CIP Chart below). Spring Lake funds are at $0.3 million or 1% of the amended budget. Spring Lake funds include capital projects and developer reimbursements that vary in timing of expenditures. There are $10.7 million in planned project expenses that have yet to be incurred (see CIP Chart below). Staff included $15.0 in developer reimbursements in the budget, but no reimbursements have been paid in this fiscal year so far; these reimbursements will occur as developers complete projects and provide required documentation for reimbursement.
Debt Service fund expenditures are $769,803 or 50% of the amended budget with other scheduled debt payments due later in the year.
Agency funds reflect expenditures totaling $4.9 million or of 71% of the amended budget due to debt service payments made on certain bonds during the first quarter.

Table 3 – All Funds Expenditures by Department
At the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2022/23, all departments appear to be tracking closely to budget.
Administrative Services is trending slightly above budget for the first three months of operations due to Insurance Premiums that are paid at the beginning of the fiscal year. Fire is also trending slightly higher than other departments for the first three months of operations due to overtime costs incurred related to Strike Team deployments. Budget adjustments will likely be needed at mid-year to account for these reimbursable expenses. Public Works is trending lower than other departments. This low percentage is due mostly to $9.7 million in budgeted depreciation that is not recorded until the end of the fiscal year.
Capital Improvements are dependent upon project activity, which has been fairly slow through the first quarter of FY2022/23 (refer to CIP Chart above for detailed analysis). Non-Departmental budgets include mostly debt service payments and inter-fund transfers. The debt service payments are due periodically throughout the year, and the transfers are generally recorded at fiscal year-end, when operating results are known.

8.3% from the prior year; the FY2022/23 budget assumed a 4.5% growth factor. A small portion of Sales Tax payments or 8% of the amended budget has been received through the month of September 2022. Projections for fiscal year activity are closely monitored by staff and will be updated with midyear projections. Licenses and Permit revenue is trending higher than most categories due to housing and commercial development activity that is generally higher during the summer months. The Motor Vehicle In Lieu revenues are received in conjunction with the City’s property tax revenues, which do not get distributed until January and May. These revenues trend in line with changes to assessed value, therefore the annual change will be consistent with the property tax information noted above.
