4 City of Woodland
Introduction
Walking, biking, and rolling by wheelchair
or scooter are all components of active
transportation. These human-powered modes
of travel
• connect families to schools, parks, work,
shopping, restaurants, bus stops, and
other destinations without a car;
• improve physical and mental health,
including reducing the incidence of
disease and obesity;
• create a better environment by reducing
air pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions; and
• provide economical travel, especially
when compared to owning and operating
a car.

The City of Woodland is a city of about 60,000
people located in the Sacramento metropolitan
area. Walking and bicycling are common on
the city’s network of roadways, sidewalks,
and shared-use paths and enjoyed by many
residents and visitors. The city’s pedestrian-
scale downtown enables comfortable walking
to many destinations. Students can often walk
or bike to neighborhood schools and parks.

However, walking and biking in some parts
of Woodland can be challenging. As in most
of California, the automobile is the primary
mode of moving people to their destinations.

Woodland is typical of many cities in that,
outside its historic downtown, much of the city
was developed in a suburban, automobile-
focused pattern, which frequently discourages
walking and biking and using transit.

These local conditions and other emerging
factors make Woodland a prime area for
walking and biking improvements. City
residents have expressed the desire for
more, safe, and comfortable walking and
biking facilities. Electric mobility devices such
as e-bikes and scooters are increasing in
popularity. Additionally, new laws and policies
regarding reduction of vehicle miles traveled
present an opportunity for synergy with active
transportation.

This active transportation plan (ATP) is an
important step toward making walking and
biking safer, easier, and more enjoyable for
everyone. The plan will help make the City
eligible for new funding to create new trails,
sidewalks, bike lanes, and other improvements
for bicycling and walking. The plan will support
applications for funding from the statewide
Active Transportation Program and other
sources of funding.

This plan meets all requirements for active
transportation plans as specified by the
California Transportation Commission’s 2023
Active Transportation Program Guidelines.
(The Draft 2025 Active Transportation Program
Guidelines published January 12, 2024, have
only minor editorial changes.) A summary
of these requirements and where they are
addressed within the plan is provided in
Appendix H, Plan Conformance with ATP
Guidelines.

5 Active trAn sportAt ion plAn
1 Develop facilities and programs to allow all people in Woodland to more easily and more safely get to where they need to go by walking and biking, including wheelchairs, scooters, and e-bikes.
2 Create a network of sidewalks and bikeways that connect residents to key destinations, especially local schools and parks.
3 Connect local facilities to a network of regional bikeways that allows people to travel between regional destinations.
4 Consider all members of community when selecting facilities and prioritizing transportation modes.
5 Support implementation of the General Plan, Regional
Transportation Plan, and Local Road Safety Plan.
6 Meet the requirements of the California Transportation Commission ATP guidelines.
7 Support successful funding applications for walking and biking improvements.

Plan Goals
The goals for this plan were developed with
consideration of other local and state plans
and policies, desires of local residents, and
emerging trends and opportunities in active
transportation.

The Woodland General Plan, Woodland
Climate Action Plan, and the Sacramento
Council of Governments Metropolitan
Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities
Strategy each have goals supporting
increases in bicycling and walking. The
California Transportation Plan and the
California State Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
also have specific goals and policies for
increasing biking and walking that are also
supported by this plan. Each of these plans
is further described in Appendix C, Relevant
Plans and Policies.

6 City of Woodland
Public Participation
Obtaining input from the residents of Woodland
was an important part of the ATP development
process. The public helped identify recommended
improvements to the bicycling and walking facilities.

Participation was solicited through the following:
• A booth at the Recreation Program Exposition
(REXPO) in March 2023
• An online crowdsourced interactive map, live from
March 2023 to November 2023, where the public
could recommend improvements they would like
to see and vote for improvements made by others
• A website hosted by the City to communicate
information about the plan process throughout the
project
• Office hours at a downtown coffee shop with City
staff in March 2024 to solicit feedback from the
community on the recommended pedestrian and
bicycle improvements.

Appendix B, Public Participation, provides additional
details on the public input received.

7 Active trAn sportAt ion plAn
Active Transportation
Facilities
Active transportation networks include several
types of infrastructure. Walking facilities include
sidewalks, crosswalks, and shared-use paths.

Bicycling facilities, in order from lowest stress
and most comfortable to highest stress and least
comfortable, include shared-use paths, separated
bikeways, bike lanes, and bike routes. Bike
parking also supports bicycling networks.

These and other treatments are introduced in this
chapter and described in detail in Appendix D,
Walking and Biking Facilities Toolkit.

Sidewalks
Sidewalks are paved areas immediately adjacent
to the vehicular right-of-way for the use of
pedestrians. Unlike shared-use paths, they
are directly adjacent to the main right-of-way.

Sidewalks may be used by people riding bicycles
unless prohibited. In Woodland, Municipal Code
section 10.24.110 prohibits bicycle riding on
sidewalks in the central traffic district, defined as
all streets and portions of streets within the area
bounded by Lincoln Avenue, East Street, Court
Street, and Cottonwood Street. Other sidewalks in
the city may also have bicycle riding prohibited as
identified by signs.

8 City of Woodland
Crosswalks
Crosswalks, which are street crossings for pedestrians, may be marked or unmarked. Marked crosswalks feature striping and other enhancements. These features may be used to to raise awareness of the crossing and to delineate the best place to cross. There are two types of marked crosswalks:
• Controlled crosswalks are located with stop signs or traffic signals.
• Uncontrolled crosswalks are located without stop signs or traffic signals. Under California law, drivers are legally required to yield to pedestrians at uncontrolled crosswalks.

Additional features can be added to crosswalks to increase visibility on busy streets:
• High-visibility crosswalk markings add additional striping to the pavement.
• Warning signage improves visibility of crosswalks and increases the likelihood that a driver will yield to or stop for pedestrians.
• Curb extensions decrease the pedestrian crossing distance at intersections and improve the visibility of pedestrians waiting to cross the street.
• Median refuge islands allow pedestrians to cross one
direction of traffic, then wait in the center of the street to cross the other direction of traffic.
• Rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) allow the
pedestrian to activate a flashing light when crossing.
• Pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHBs) require traffic to stop for pedestrians when activated, but allow vehicles to proceed with caution after the pedestrian crossing has been completed.

More features are described in Appendix D.

9 Active trAn sportAt ion plAn
Shared-Use Paths
Shared-use paths, often referred to as Class I bike paths (as classified in Chapter 1000 of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual) or paved trails, are off-street facilities that provide exclusive use for non-motorized travel by bicyclists and pedestrians (Figure 1). Shared-use paths have minimal cross flow with motorists and are typically located along landscaped corridors. Shared-use paths can be utilized for both recreational and commute trips. These paths provide an important recreational amenity for bicyclists, pedestrians, dog walkers, runners, skaters, and those using other non-motorized forms of travel. They are frequently designed to offer a specific benefit to users, such as a connection not previously included in the bicycle or pedestrian network or traversing a barrier such as a freeway or river.

Separated Bikeways
Separated bikeways, designated Class IV by Caltrans and also known as cycle tracks, are physically separated bicycle facilities that are distinct from the sidewalk and designed for exclusive use by bicyclists.

They are located within the street right-of-way but provide bicyclists comfort similar to shared-use paths. The key feature of a separated bikeway is a vertical element that provides physical separation from motor vehicle traffic (Figure 2). Common vertical elements used for separation include vertical curbs, painted buffers with flexible posts, parked cars, landscaped area, large planters, or other fixed barriers.

Separated bikeways may also be constructed by creating a bikeway at a height above the vehicular lanes. Separated bikeways can be either one-way or two-way, accommodating a single direction of travel or both.

Figure 1: Shared-Use Path Figure 2: Separated Bikeway

10 City of Woodland
Bike Lanes
Bike lanes, designated Class II by Caltrans, are on-street facilities that use striping, stencils, and signage to denote preferential or exclusive use by bicyclists. Bikes lanes are contiguous with motor vehicle travel lanes. Bike lanes provide adequate space for comfortable riding and alert drivers about the predictable movements of bicyclists.

Buffered bike lanes are similar to bike lanes but have an additional painted section of pavement that provides space between bike and motor vehicle travel lanes (Figure 3).

The total bike lane width encompasses the buffer and the bike lane width.

Figure 3: Buffered Bike Lane

11 Active trAn sportAt ion plAn
Bike Routes
Bike routes, designated Class III by Caltrans,
are streets with signs and optional pavement
markings where bicyclists travel on the
shoulder or share a lane with motor vehicles
(Figure 4). Bike routes are utilized on low-
speed and low-volume streets to connect bike
lanes or paths along corridors that do not
provide enough space for dedicated lanes.

Shoulders are preferable but not required on
streets with bike routes. In addition to alerting
motorists to the presence of bicyclists, bike
routes help bike riders find their way to other
bikeways or regional destinations like schools
and parks.

Figure 4: Bike Route
Bicycle boulevards are enhanced bike
routes that are intentionally located on low-
volume, low-speed local streets and include
other features designed to make a low-stress,
comfortable, attractive bikeway that prioritizes
bicycle travel. These features include shared
lane markings, wayfinding signs, and traffic
calming features, including at crossings with
higher volume arterials. Physical and non-
physical measures such as signs, pavement
markings, speed lumps, and low or reduced
vehicle speeds are utilized to discourage
through trips by motor vehicles and create
safe, convenient bicycle access.

Sharrows, or shared-lane markings, are
a common bike route pavement marking
that alerts drivers that bicyclists are sharing
the road and facilitate wayfinding through
neighborhoods.

12 City of Woodland
Long-term bicycle parking includes bike
lockers, bike cages, and bike rooms:
• Bike lockers are outdoor enclosures that
accommodate one or two bicycles and are
usually leased on a monthly basis or paid
short-term use.
• Bike cages are fully enclosed, roofed
shelters that house racks of bicycle
parking, typically found at schools.
• Bicycle rooms are found inside office or
residential buildings, and provide secure
indoor parking. Bicycle rooms may feature
amenities such as bike pumps and quick-
fix tools for employees and residents.

The Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle
Professionals (APBP) Essentials of Bike
Parking: Selecting and Installing Bike Parking
that Works (2015) provides guidance for
planning and installing bike parking facilities
that are effective and secure.

Bicycle Parking
Bicycle parking encourages ridership by
supporting the final stage of a bicycle trip.

Locations with high ridership are excellent
candidates for bicycle parking, including civic,
residential, commercial, and office spaces. At
these locations, both short-term and long-term
parking should be accommodated.

Short-term bicycle parking is temporary
bicycle parking intended for visitors. Bicycle
racks are a common form of short-term
parking. Bicycle racks in front of stores and
other destinations allow patrons to park their
bike for short periods. Bike parking should be
located in well-lit areas to discourage theft.

Installing permanent bicycle racks near main
entrances also helps bicyclists feel welcome
and encourages them to ride their bicycle
again on a return trip. Bicycle racks that allow
at least two points of contact, such as the
wheel and frame, provide the most protection
against theft and accidental damage.

Woodland Municipal Code section 10.24.100
states that when a bike rack is provided, no
person shall park a bicycle, except in such
rack, on an adjacent street or sidewalk within a
distance of 100 feet from such rack.

Long-term bicycle parking is intended
for employees, students, commuters, and
residents to protect bicycles for extended
periods. Long-term facilities are more secure
than short-term bicycle parking and should
fully protect bicycles from theft and weather.

Traffic Calming
Traffic calming devices include a wide range
of design treatments capable of reducing
vehicle speeds and thus improving the safety
and comfort of the transportation network for
all users. Reducing vehicle speeds makes
travel safer for both bicycles and pedestrians.

Traffic calming devices may employ vertical
deflection, as with speed bumps, or horizontal
deflection as with curb extensions.

Narrowing traffic calming devices are a sub-
category of horizontal deflection traffic calming
devices. Wider roads are associated with
greater crash rates and higher impact speeds.

Narrowing roadways often leads to decreased
vehicle speeds and improves safety.

Restriping narrower travel lanes for vehicle
traffic can reduce motor vehicle speed. In
many locations, interior traffic lanes can be
narrowed to 10 feet or less to encourage lower
speeds. Narrow lanes can make room in the
roadway right-of-way for painted medians,
center turn lanes, bicycle lanes, or parking.

14 City of Woodland
Emerging Trends and
Opportunities
New technologies and changes in California
regulations that have emerged in the last
several years are supporting expanded use of
active transportation.

Electric bikes and scooters are two
expanding technologies that provide both new
opportunities and challenges. These devices
can be partially or fully powered but also share
facilities with other users. There is a range of
types of e-bikes, scooters, and other devices.

State law governs where these devices may
be used but also allows local jurisdictions to
enact more restrictive rules on where they
may be used. A review of these devices and
regulations governing their use is included in
Appendix D.

Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) has become the
standard for measuring transportation impacts
under the California Environmental Quality Act
since the implementation of California Senate
Bill 743. Walking and biking, including using
electric bikes and scooters, helps reduce
VMT directly. Walking and biking also support
greater use of transit, further reducing VMT.

The Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse
Gas Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate
Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and
Equity, released by the California Air Pollution
Control Officers Association, is a good guide
for estimating these reductions.

Existing Conditions
Woodland’s flat topography and relatively low
rainfall are suitable for walking and biking,
as are the city’s mild winter temperatures.

However, summer temperatures are often hot
and more challenging for walking and biking.

Woodland is generally suburban in character
of land use. The estimated population as
of 2022 was 61,230, according to the U.S.

Census Bureau (2022). Most residences are
single-family homes. Most retail development
is in shopping centers, though some traditional
retail exists in the city’s walkable downtown.

While most of the city has been developed
with sidewalks, there are gaps in some
industrial areas. Additionally, curb ramps at
some intersections are missing or do not meet
current standards. Many newer areas have
dedicated bicycling facilities, though many
older areas of the city do not.

Transportation Modes
Mobility and accessibility are important
aspects of the City of Woodland’s small-town
character. The city has remained relatively
compact compared to other suburban
communities in the Sacramento region, making
transit, walking, and bicycling viable choices
for travel. However, automobiles are the
primary mode of travel in the city. According
to the U.S. Census Bureau 2022 American
Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates,
about 86 percent of City of Woodland
residents commute by car, truck, or van,
resulting in approximately 25,630 trips to work

by vehicle per day. As shown in Table 1, The
share of workers that walk to work in the City of
Woodland is about 0.8 percent and the share
of those that bike to work is about 0.6 percent.

Additionally, about 1.3 percent of workers use
public transportation to get to work and about
10 percent of workers in Woodland work from
home. Although these shares are comparable
to statewide averages, note that city values
may be higher or lower due to ACS margins of
error.

Note that these statistics only include workers
who walk or ride every day, not those who
do so occasionally. Reliable data on non-
commute trips, including trips to school, trips
for shopping, and recreational trips is not
readily available and not included in these
estimates. Thus, the total number of biking and
walking trips is likely greater than shown.

Note: Numbers and shares are estimates. Actual numbers may be lower or higher. Workers aged 16 years and older.

Disadvantaged
Communities
Service to disadvantaged and underserved
communities, often referred to as
environmental justice communities, is a key
factor in many grant funding programs such
as California’s Active Transportation Program.

This plan presents a variety of different
indicators of disadvantaged communities:

Household median income – Census tracts
with median household income less than 80
percent of the statewide median, or $73,524
based on the 2018-2022 American Community
Survey (ACS) (Figure 10).

Free and reduced price meal (FRPM)
eligibility – The share of students at a school
who are eligible for subsidized meals, bsed
on the 2022-2023 school year. Schools with
at least 75 percent eligible are considered
disadvantaged by the ATP guidelines.

Eight schools in Woodland are considered
disadvantaged by this criterion (Figure 11).

CalEnviroScreen 4.0 score percentile – A
measure of environmental health by census
tract. Inputs include socioeconomic factors,
population characteristics, pollution factors,
and environmental factors. Tracts with higher
percentiles are more disadvantaged. The
worst scoring 25 percent are considered
disadvantaged by the ATP guidelines.

No areas of Woodland are considered
disadvantaged by this criterion.

California Healthy Places Index – A
measure of the community conditions
shaping health outcomes. Factors include
economics, education, transportation, social,
neighborhood, housing, clean environment,
and healthcare access. Census tracts in the
worst scoring 25 percent are considered
disadvantaged by the ATP guidelines.

No areas of Woodland are considered
disadvantaged by this criterion.

SACOG Environmental Justice Areas –
Environmental justice areas identified by
the Sacramento Council of Governments
as having concentrations of low income,
and/or high minority and/or qualification
of an “other vulnerability” and/or within
the CalEnviroScreen 3.0 identified areas
(Figure 12).

Federal Climate and Economic Justice
Screening Tool (CEJST) – Launched by
the White House Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ). Federal agencies are currently
implementing the Justice40 Initiative, which
seeks to deliver 40 percent of the overall
benefits of federal climate, clean energy,
affordable and sustainable housing, clean
water, and other investments to disadvantaged
communities that are marginalized,
underserved, and overburdened by pollution.

Communities are considered disadvantaged
if they are in a census tract that meets the
threshold for at least one of the tool’s eight
categories of burden and corresponding
economic indicator (Figure 13).

US DOT Equitable Transportation
Community (ETC) Explorer Tool – A
measure of the cumulative burden
communities experience, as a result of
underinvestment in transportation, in the
following five components: Transportation
Insecurity, Climate and Disaster Risk Burden,
Environmental Burden, Health Vulnerability,
and Social Vulnerability. It is designed
to complement the CEJST by providing
users deeper insight into the transportation
disadvantage component of CEJST. Census
tracts scoring in the worst 25 percent are
considered to be disadvantaged by the Active
Transportation Program. By this definition,
northern areas of Woodland are considered
disadvantaged (Figure 14).

Zero Automobile Households – The
percentage of households that do not have a
vehicle (and are more likely to be dependent
on walking, biking, and transit to meet
their transportation needs) by census tract
according to the 2018-2022 ACS (Figure 15).

30 City of Woodland
Active Transportation
Infrastructure
Currently there are 17.0 miles of shared-use
paths, 45.4 miles of streets with bicycle lanes,

11.7 miles of streets with bicycle routes, and
308 miles of sidewalks within Woodland.

Walking Facilities
Conditions for walking vary across the city,
from industrial districts with little pedestrian
infrastructure to suburban neighborhoods
with typical sidewalk to the denser, walkable
grid of downtown Woodland. The City has
emphasized pedestrian travel by enhancing
facilities including crosswalks, pedestrian
count-down signals, new sidewalks, and traffic
calming measures.

Figure 16 shows existing crosswalks,
sidewalks, and sidewalk gaps within the
city. Sidewalks are present on the majority
of roadways within the city. Most arterials,
collectors, and residential streets have
sidewalks on both sides of the street. A few
exceptions are segments of East Street and
Main Street adjacent to the railroad tracks,
connections on Oak Street and Cross Street,
and some undeveloped and industrial lots.

Some of these segments are in industrial areas
with low income according to the SACOG
criteria. However, residential neighborhoods in
these areas generally have sidewalks.

Some principal arterials where development
is ongoing, especially those on the periphery
of the city, have sidewalks only on one side.

Sidewalks are included on all roadways within
the city’s newer planned communities and
downtown grid.

The City of Woodland also has off-street
facilities for pedestrian travel. Most of these
pathways are located in city parks and serve
residents who walk for recreation. The off-
street facilities typically do not provide direct
access to key destinations like commercial
and employment centers. Notable off-street
facilities include the William Crawford Senior
Park cut-through and a shared-use path that
accesses the Woodland Community & Senior
Center. Shared-use paths are also present
within the Spring Lake community and on
E. Main Street.

Destination accessibility via walk time analysis
was performed for the city’s two middle
schools, downtown Woodland, and city parks,
as shown in Appendix A.

Bicycle Facilities
Many roadways have on-street bike lanes
(Class II) or are signed as bicycle routes
(Class III). Figure 17 shows existing bikeways
within the city. Figure 18 shows the Woodland
Bike Loop, a set of recreational and
transportation bikeways promoted within the
city. The Woodland Bike Loop was recently
updated to include the newly constructed
pedestrian overcrossing of SR 113 and other
changes based on public input.

Key observations about these routes include
the following:
• Central areas of the city, particularly
along Main Street and East Street and
the neighborhoods adjacent to them,
have fewer bike facilities. These areas
frequently have Class III bike routes only
or no marked bicycling facilities. East
Street between Main Street and Gibson
Road is a notable gap in the network with
speed limits of 35 mph or more, making it
particularly uncomfortable for bicycling.

The 2023 Woodland Local Road Safety
Plan (LRSP) proposed a road diet on this
segment of East Street.
• The western and southern areas of the city
are served by Class I shared-use paths
and Class II bike lanes.
• Beamer Street and West Street are other
arterials with sections of Class III bike
routes.
• The Gibson Road overcrossing of State
Route (SR) 113, controlled by Caltrans,
is an important gap in the network.

Eastbound Gibson Road is particularly
problematic where the shoulder
disappears for the northbound SR 113 on-
ramp; an injury collision occurred at this
location in 2015. The speed limit on this
segment is 40 mph.
• Two existing Class II bike routes pass
under freeways: the Beamer Street
undercrossing of I-5 and SR 113, and
the Pioneer Avenue undercrossing of I-5.

These routes, controlled by Caltrans, have
speed limits of 45 mph or more and are
likely to be uncomfortable to use, deterring
bicycling.

When the existing and under construction
bicycle network was compared to the
disadvantaged community indicators, the
following conclusions were noted:
• The areas around Dingle Elementary
School and Woodland Prairie Elementary
School, two of the schools which meet the
FRPM criterion, are less served than other
neighborhoods.
• The lowest income area of Woodland
is less served than most other
neighborhoods in the city.
• Some areas meeting the SACOG high
minority and/or low-income criteria are less
served.
• Areas exceeding thresholds in three of
the Federal Climate and Economic Justice
Screening Tool categories are less served.

Figure 19 shows known locations of bike
parking within the city. This is not all bike
parking; other locations exist but were not
mapped.

Destination accessibility via walk time analysis
was performed for the city’s two middle
schools, downtown Woodland, and city parks,
as shown in Appendix A.

Collisions
As described in the Woodland LRSP, the City of Woodland has a vision to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries on its roadways by 2050. The LRSP as well as safety considerations for this active transportation plan are based upon the Safe System approach. The Safe System approach acknowledges that humans make mistakes but seeks to ensure that those mistakes do not result in serious injuries for any road user.

Knowing that the human body is vulnerable, it seeks to limit the kinetic energy transferred in a crash to a level a body can withstand when designing and operating a transportation network.

The Safe System approach incorporates five elements of a safe transportation system – safe road users, safe vehicles, safe speeds, safe roads, and post-crash care. This approach means that responsibility for road safety is not born solely by road users. While road users are responsible for their own behavior and abiding by laws and regulations and exhibiting due care and proper behavior on the transportation system, safety is a shared responsibility with those who design, operate, and maintain the transportation network, including the automotive industry, law enforcement, elected officials, and government bodies.

In a Safe System, roadway system designers provide safe roadways by using engineering standards, guidance from organizations such as Caltrans and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and engineering judgment to create context-sensitive safety solutions.

To evaluate walking and biking safety, collisions from 2009 to 2020 involving people walking or biking as collected for the LRSP were reviewed. Further details of this analysis are included in Appendix C.

Of collisions involving a pedestrian, 35 percent were pedestrian violations and thus considered to be the fault of the pedestrian. Most other collisions, 57 percent, were the fault of the driver. Another 8 percent of collisions had no clearly stated primary collision factor (PCF).

Chart 1. Collisions Involving Pedestrians and Bicyclists, 2009-2020 Table 2 and Chart 1 summarize these collisions by year. As shown in the table, though collisions involving people walking or biking are a small share (less than 5 percent combined) of all collisions, they are a much larger share of collisions in which a person is killed or severely injured (KSI) (nearly 45 percent). Similarly, though a relatively low number of people (18) were killed during this period, two-thirds of them were pedestrians. When reviewed by year, no clear trends were evident.

Of collisions involving a bicycle, most PCFs (62 percent) could be either the fault of the bicyclist or driver, as bicycles are generally treated as motor vehicles, so fault is not directly clear from the stated PCF. However, 24 percent were related to riding on the wrong side of the road or were pedestrian violations, and thus more likely the fault of the bicyclist, while 8 percent were related to unsafe speed or unsafe starting or backing, thus more likely the fault of the driver. Another 6 percent of collisions had no clearly stated PCF.

Figure 20 shows locations of collisions
involving people who were walking.

Table 3 shows the reported location of
collisions, based on collision data. Nearly half
of pedestrian collisions occurred while the
pedestrian was crossing in a crosswalk.

The largest collision concentrations included
the following:
• Intersections of Main Street and East
Street and Main Street and 6th Street. The
LRSP proposed high-visibility crosswalks
and advance stop bars at crosswalks on
Main Street and red and yellow signal
timing adjustments.
• Intersection of East Street and Gum
Avenue. The LRSP proposed red and
yellow signal timing adjustments at this
location.
• SR 113 ramp intersections at Main Street.

The LRSP proposed red and yellow signal
timing adjustments at these locations.
• Intersection of Main Street and West

• East Street between North Street/
Lemen Avenue and Main Street had a

proposes a road diet on East Street and
red and yellow signal timing adjustments
for this segment.
• Main Street passes through downtown and
is a connection to destinations throughout
the city, and consequently has high
traffic volumes and the most collisions.

Collisions were particularly concentrated
between Matmor Road and Pioneer
Avenue including the vicinity of the SR 113
ramp intersections. The LRSP proposed
a road diet between West Street and
Walnut Street. It also proposed retiming
all signals to consider bicycle movements
and redesign northbound approaches at
Thomas Street, Matmor Road, and Pioneer
Avenue to help get bicycles to the north
side of Main Street.

Level of Traffic Stress
Traffic stress is the discomfort and unease
that a person riding a bicycle may feel due
to vehicle traffic, roadway conditions, facility
design, and other factors. Level of traffic
stress (LTS) was analyzed for both biking
and walking along major corridors in the
city. High vehicle speeds make conditions
uncomfortable for both pedestrians and
bicyclists on many streets. Reducing vehicle
speeds can increase comfort on many
corridors; where that is not feasible, parallel
routes for pedestrians and bicyclists on quieter
streets can provide alternatives for pedestrians
and bicyclists.

Walking
People walking vary in confidence. Some
people who walk are comfortable walking
close to busy traffic on narrow sidewalks,
while others will only walk if there is greater
separation from rapidly traveling vehicles.

Factors affecting walking comfort include the
following:
• Usable sidewalk width
• Frequency of driveways
• Lighting
• Street trees and landscaping
• Sidewalk quality
• Speed of traffic
• Number of vehicles
• Number of vehicle travel lanes
Using these factors, a pedestrian level of
traffic stress (PLTS) score can be assigned
from 1 to 4 for each roadway segment, with 1
being the least stressful and 4 being the most
stressful.

Pedestrian level of traffic stress on streets
and at signalized intersections in the city is
shown in Figure 21. High speed limits (40
mph or more) create uncomfortable PLTS 4
conditions on many streets within the city.

Lack of sidewalks, narrow sidewalks, and
frequent curb cuts also worsen pedestrian
conditions on a number of streets. Due to
these conditions, no facilities achieved PLTS 1
or 2, the lowest stress levels.

Biking
People who bicycle vary in experience,
skill, ability, and confidence. Some are
comfortable riding in traffic and value bicycling
facilities and routes that are direct and limit
unnecessary delay. These cyclists more
comfortably utilize facilities that share the
roadway with automobiles or have limited
bicycle infrastructure. Other people with less
confidence bicycling and lower or developing
bicycle skills, such as children and older adult
riders, may need more separation from traffic
to feel comfortable enough to ride. Different
bicycle types (such as trailers for children,
cargo bicycles, or adult tricycles) also require
more space in bicycle facilities. For these
reasons, facilities should be designed to
accommodate less skilled riders and a wide
variety of bicycle types, especially in heavily
traveled areas.

Research has correlated these different types
of bicycle riders with the LTS that they are
willing to experience while cycling. Metrics
have been developed to quantify the LTS that
a typical rider may experience so that new
bicycle facilities can be targeted to reduce
this stress. Factors influencing LTS include the
following:
• Number of travel lanes
• Speed of traffic
• Number of vehicles
• Presence of bike lanes
• Width of bike lanes
• Presence of physical barrier
Using these factors, a bicyclist level of traffic
stress (BLTS) score can be assigned from 1 to
4 for each roadway segment, with 1 being the
least stressful and 4 being the most stressful.

Bicyclist level of traffic stress on streets in the
city is shown in Figure 22. High posted speed
limits (40 mph or more) were the primary
factor resulting in BLTS 4 conditions on many
corridors with bike lanes, including Beamer
Road and Pioneer Avenue. On corridors
without bike lanes, bicyclist stress is high at
even lower speeds (25 mph or more). Due to
these conditions, no arterials achieved BLTS 1,
the lowest stress level.

Crossing Improvements
Several crossing improvement projects are
included to increase pedestrian comfort and
safety, as shown in Figure 23. The decision to
install a marked crosswalk or other crosswalk
enhancement should be based on engineering
judgment/study, and other necessary
considerations as appropriate. Some of these
considerations include the following:
• Pedestrian travel demand. Demand should
include both existing demand and latent
demand, the increase in pedestrians that
would result from the improvement.
• Service of a facility or use that generates
higher pedestrian travel or serves a
vulnerable population (e.g., children,
elderly, persons with disabilities). This may
include schools, hospitals, senior centers,
recreation/community centers, libraries,
parks, or trails.
• Sight distance requirements, using
appropriate stopping sight distance
guidance from AASHTO’s A Policy on
Geometric Design for Highways and
Streets or Caltrans’ Highway Design
Manual.
• Distance to nearest marked crossing.
• Guidance of the California Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

Planned Networks & Programs
This chapter discusses the planned
bicycle networks, pedestrian networks, and
supporting facilities and programs for the
City of Woodland. The plan was developed to
improve connectivity to key destinations, close
gaps in the existing networks, and enhance
the safety and comfort of pedestrians and
bicyclists. Planned facilities were developed
based on the following:
• Previous bicycle and pedestrian plans
• Local general plans and community plans
• Discussion and input from the public
• Connectivity to key destinations, especially
schools, parks, and civic buildings
• Collision history
• Discussions with jurisdiction staff and
stakeholders
Pedestrian & Bicycle
Networks
Planned walking and biking facilities are
summarized in Table 4 and presented in
Figure 23 and Figure 24. These pedestrian
and bicycle networks are the long-term vision
of the active transportation facilities for the city.

The networks include sidewalks, crosswalks,
shared-use paths, separated bikeways, bike
lanes, and bike routes. The proposed networks
are designed to connect neighborhoods to
key destinations and to serve as recreational
assets. Appendix E includes a list of these
network improvements, including locations
and extents, lengths, high-level estimated
costs, and priorities.

• Depending on the characteristics of a
specific location, a marked crosswalk
alone may not be sufficient to ensure
efficient function for all users and
maintain pedestrian safety. FHWA’s
Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety
at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations
provides information on how to select the
most appropriate treatment for a specific
location. That guide and other resources
should be used as appropriate by the
designer when the recommendations of
this plan are implemented.

Appendix D provides additional guidance on
selecting crosswalk improvements
Supporting Facilities
Wayfinding
Wayfinding signage can be used on both
bicycle and pedestrian facilities to direct users
to connecting facilities and key destinations.

Good wayfinding signs can also encourage
pedestrians and bicyclists to visit local
businesses. These signs provide the most
value at trail junctions and at intersections
of key bicycling and walking routes. The city
has existing wayfinding signage that provides
directions to key destinations. Chapter 9B of
the California MUTCD provides guidance on
sign design and installation. These standard
signs and the city’s existing signs may be
augmented by signs depicting distances in
miles to encourage walking and bicycling. As
discussed in the Introduction, Class III bike
routes designations and signage can also be
used to assist with wayfinding on roadways
without other marked bike facilities.

Pavement markings can also be used
to identify and highlight notable active
transportation routes. The Davis Bike
Loop is an example of a facility that uses
pavement markings to provide wayfinding
cues and promote use of the Loop. The
city is developing pavement markings and
signs specifically for the Woodland Bike
Loop (see Figure 18). The city was awarded
about $10,000 from Yolo Solano Air Quality
Management District for improved Bike Loop
wayfinding and promotion.

Lighting
Sufficient lighting on walking and biking
facilities reduces the fear of crime and
prevents collisions that occur due to
decreased visibility. Pedestrian walkways
should have lighting that allows people to
identify faces from a distance of about 30 feet.

Traffic Calming
Additional traffic calming measures can
be considered in tandem with the network
recommendations. Calming traffic has the co-
benefit of enhancing perceptions of safety and
enhancing comfort walking or bicycling.

Bicycle Parking
New bicycle parking should meet the
standards discussed in the Introduction. Both
short- and long-term bicycle parking should
be supplied where appropriate, such as at
schools, parks, grocery stores, and other
key destinations. Business owners should be
encouraged to work with the City to provide
bicycle parking in visible areas in commercial
districts to entice riders to stop and frequent
local businesses.

49 Active trAn sportAt ion plAn
Non-Infrastructure
Programs
Several improvements to other supporting
programs are also recommended for Woodland.

The California Office of Traffic Safety provides
grants for education, encouragement, and
enforcement efforts aimed at improving pedestrian
and bicyclist safety. Appendix F, Funding Sources,
provides more details on this and other grants.

Education & Encouragement
The City has supported several efforts to
encourage walking and biking. Prior to the
Covid-19 pandemic, the Woodland Police
Department provided bike safety programs to
kids. These programs involved bike skills training
at local elementary schools, teaching kids to ride
bikes in a safe, supportive, and fun environment to
make them life-long riders.

The City has also partnered with bicycle advocacy
groups to promote community bike rides such
as the 4th of July bike parade on Main Street.

These groups also collaborated on the Woodland
Bike Map that promotes preferred bike routes. In
addition, the City closes Main Street to vehicular
traffic throughout the year to hold events such as
Movies on Main Street, car shows, Dinner on Main
Street, a Christmas parade, the Honey Festival,
and other events that promote walking and biking
to downtown.

Programs such as walking school buses and
biking school buses (also known as bike trains),
programs where kids and families walk or bike to
school in groups, are other good opportunities for
neighborhood schools to encourage walking.

50 City of Woodland
The events described above encourage active
engagement for adults. Adding activities for
bike to work events and increasing the number
of casual walking events could expand this
effort.

Enforcement
At the beginning of the school year, the police
department partners with local schools to
monitor driver compliance with speed limits
and yielding at crosswalks.

Reports of speeding near school zones was a
frequent concern heard from the community
throughout the plan process. Continuing
enforcement efforts periodically throughout
the school year, and expanding to other
places frequented by pedestrians, can further
help pedestrians and bicyclists. Periodic
enforcement actions along trails can also help
alleviate concerns about personal safety along
trails.

Pedestrian and Bicyclist Counts
Active transportation count data has not been
routinely collected within the city. Creating
a citywide program to count bicyclists and
pedestrians using on-street facilities as well as
shared-use paths would allow the collection of
data to support future grant applications and
direct future improvement efforts. Bicycle and
pedestrian counts, frequently included as part
of traffic counts that are often performed when
developing roadway improvements, could be
collected centrally.

Maintenance
The City does not have formal policies for
maintaining existing bicycle and pedestrian
facilities. However, street sweeping is done
regularly and also on request. Bicycle lanes
are restriped when they become worn or
during concurrent pavement treatment
or repairs on City streets. Crosswalks are
restriped in summer prior to the start of the
school year as necessary.

More formal policies would help assure
that regular maintenance is used to keep
facilities accessible and safe. Implementing
a formal maintenance policy that addresses
both incidental and periodic maintenance
for pedestrian and bicycle facilities would
systematize existing good practices, ensuring
that they carry forward, and address other
ongoing or periodic maintenance issues. A
regular program of vegetation maintenance
would reduce issues on bikeways, sidewalks,
and trails.

Sidewalk maintenance is frequently the
responsibility of the property owner. Adding or
increasing assistance or advisory programs for
sidewalk and vegetation maintenance would
also help improve pedestrian conditions.

Homelessness and Active
Transportation
Transportation infrastructure, including bicycle
facilities and trails, is sometimes the site of
temporary encampments and shelter locations
for those experiencing homelessness. This
situation can lead to concerns regarding
accessibility and personal safety on paths
and trails. At the same time, a lack of access
to affordable transportation options is often a
challenge to upward mobility within vulnerable
populations.

While homelessness is a multi-faceted issue,
a few approaches can assist with addressing
concerns and removing transportation as a
barrier to upward mobility. Transitional and
temporary housing locations, when possible,
should be located near service providers to
allow bicycling and walking as a viable access
option. In Woodland, community partners that
provide on-site services at the Fourth and
Hope Yolo Wayfarer Center include City of
Woodland, County of Yolo Health and Human
Services Agency, Legal Services of Northern
California, Empower Yolo, CommuniCare, Elica
Health Centers, and University of California
at Davis. The recommended networks for
Woodland include connections to the Yolo
Wayfarer Center at 1901 E. Beamer Street.

Programs that repair or refurbish used
bicycles for donation can aid in providing
transportation to work and services. The Bike
Garage in Woodland provides such services.

Partnerships can be cultivated or continued
with appropriate agencies and community-
based organizations, such as those mentioned
above.

52 City of Woodland
Implementation
Implementation of the planned pedestrian and
bicycle networks is anticipated to occur:
• through active transportation projects
pursued to implement this plan;
• in conjunction with adjacent land
development projects; and
• in conjunction with maintenance and
capacity enhancement projects, such as
slurry seals, pavement reconstruction,
roadway widening, or sidewalk
rehabilitation projects.

Implementation requires years to complete.

Priority projects will be targeted for completion
in the next five to ten years. Implementation of
each project is dependent upon availability and
acquisition of funding; projects requiring land
acquisition or utility relocation require extra time
to implement. Improvements associated with
work on adjacent roadways or development
of adjacent land uses provides opportunities
for implementation relatively easily or at
lower cost than if implemented separately.

In these cases, lower priority improvements
may be implemented before higher-priority
improvements, depending on the location
of these land development and roadway
projects. Implementation of each project is also
dependent on detailed feasibility and design
studies based on local conditions.

Completion of projects in this plan will be
reported by staff to the City Council and on
the City’s website. The City of Woodland will
periodically update this plan to reflect evolving
needs and progress toward completion.

Prioritization
The projects identified to create these networks
were prioritized based on several criteria;
• Proximity to key destinations, including
schools, parks, medical facilities, and
activity centers
• Collision locations
• Disadvantaged community indicators
• Population density
• Judgment of City staff
These projects and further explanation of
the prioritization process are in Appendix E,
Project Priorities and Cost Estimates. Lists of
projects with priority status are also provided
in Appendix E.

Several of the projects in the project lists were
grouped into priority corridors, which will be
the focus of near-term implementation. Each
group of projects will contribute to growing the
backbone network of pedestrian and bicycle
facilities for the city and fulfill needs in the
bicycle and pedestrian networks. Appendix
G, Project Fact Sheets, provides summaries,
costs, and information to support applications
for project funding.

53 Active trAn sportAt ion plAn
Costs
The estimated costs to implement each type of facility are provided in Appendix E and summarized in Table 5. If utilities must be relocated or land acquired to implement any of these facilities, costs will increase. However, many of these facilities may be implemented during development of adjacent land uses or in conjunction with other projects. Therefore, some of these costs will not be directly borne by the City.

Project cost estimates are based on local unit cost estimates. These estimates were developed based on relevant project experience in the area. Estimate assumptions for each bikeway type are described in Appendix E. Note that these cost estimates are high-level, therefore more detailed study and design of individual project will be required to refine them.

Funding
Federal, state, regional, county, and local
organizations provide funding for pedestrian
and bicycle projects and programs. A
summary of funding sources is provided in
Appendix F.

The following funding sources are
recommended as the most applicable for the
projects in this plan:

Regional
• SACOG Regional Active Transportation
Program
• SACOG Engage, Empower, Implement
• (SACOG also supports regional
distribution of funds from several state and
federal programs listed below)
State
• Active Transportation Program
• Highway Safety Improvement Program
• Local Partnership Program
• California Department of Parks &
Recreation Recreational Trails Program

55 Active trAn sportAt ion plAn
Federal
• Rebuilding American Infrastructure with
Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant
Program
• Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) Improvement Program
• Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG)
Program
• Reconnecting Communities: Highways to
Boulevards
• Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing
Transportation (SMART) Grant Programs
• Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
Grant Program
• Promoting Resilient Operations for
Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving
Transportation (PROTECT) Grant Program
In addition to these funding programs, local
developer fees may be considered. These
local fees from land development projects can
provide match funding or full implementation
of projects where there is a nexus to the
project.

Potential Outcomes
Following implementation of the planned
networks and supporting programs, substantial
improvements may be achieved in active
transportation use and safety of pedestrians and
bicyclists.

By increasing the facilities available to
users, mode share may increase. Usage
may be expected to be similar to cities with
comparable characteristics. For example,
Sacramento currently has a 3.0 percent
walking mode share and a 1.5 percent
bicycling mode share. Davis, a college town
just seven miles south of Woodland with even
more developed infrastructure, has a walking
mode share of 2.8 percent and a bicycling
mode share of 10.6 percent. Though no single
city is exactly comparable, these comparisons
provide reasonable targets to achieve by
implementing the ATP. Achieving comparable
mode shares in Woodland would result in large
trip increases, as shown in Table 6.

Note: Workers aged 16 years and older.

Mode Current Trips Current Share Future Trips Future Share Walking 239 0.8% 836 2.8%
Biking 179 0.6% 3,163 10.6%
Table 6. Future Trips to Work by Walking and Bicycling
As discussed in the Existing Conditions
chapter, because these numbers are based on
commute trips and do not include shopping,
school, or recreational trips, or commuters who
only walk or bike to work part time, the actual
number of future trips is likely to be higher than
these estimates.

By implementing this plan, pedestrian and
bicyclist safety will be improved and the number
of collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists
will also be reduced. A 50 percent or greater
reduction in injuries and fatalities is a reasonable
expectation if all aspects of this plan, including
supporting programs, are implemented. In
addition to these direct health improvements
due to collision reduction, implementation will
also support increased physical activity, which
will improve community health by reducing
incidence of heart disease, high blood pressure,
Type 2 diabetes, mental illness, and obesity.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: March 19, 2024
ITEM #: G.13
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2023/24 Mid-Year Budget Update

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive a mid-year update on the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Budget.

Staff Contact:

Kim McKinney, Administrative Services Director, (530) 661-5849, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

This informational item represents the Citywide revenue and expenditure results through the first six months of fiscal year 2023/24, as well as updated General Fund projections through the end of the fiscal year.

Discussion:

Attached to this report is an analysis of the results for the first half of fiscal year 2023/24 (FY2023/24) for all City funds, as well as a discussion specifically of the General Fund. In addition to showing actual activity for the year, this report includes projected revenue and expenditure results through the remainder of the fiscal year for the General Fund. Each year following the adoption of the budget, items are identified that may require a correction or unanticipated needs arise. Proposed budget adjustments are presented to the City Council in a separate report.

The following represents selected highlights from the attached mid-year budget report. More detailed discussion of year-to-date activity and projected results are included in the attachment to this report. • Revenues across all City funds total $67.5 million, or 34% of the budget, through December 31, 2023. Although we are halfway through the fiscal year, many of the City's large revenue sources, such as property taxes and other assessments, are not received until the second half of the year.
• Expenditures for all funds total $93.5 million, or 33% of the amended budget, through the second quarter of FY2023/24.
• General Fund revenues total $13.06 million, or 20% of the amended budget. Based on information available, staff is projecting that revenues will exceed the amended budget by close to $600,000.
o Assessed value is slightly higher than anticipated during preparation of the FY2023/24 budget, and as a result, property tax and motor vehicle in-lieu revenues are trending higher than the budget.
o Sales tax revenues overall are expected to fall short of the budget by $336,315. However, included in this number are better than expected revenues from both Measure R and Measure F sales tax measures, which do not remain in the General Fund. The local sales tax that remains and General Fund revenues is projected to be under budget by almost $700,000.
o Other revenue categories anticipated to exceed budget includes revenues from Licenses and Permits, franchise fees, and reimbursements for fire strike teams. o TOT revenues are projected to be under budget by close to $285,000.

• General Fund expenditures total $26.47 million through the second quarter of FY2023/24. Staff is projecting the expenditures to end the year in excess of the amended budget by $239,265.
o Savings in the personnel category of expenditure resulted from vacancies throughout the year, particularly in the Police Department. Some of these savings are offset by overages in overtime costs necessary to backfill vacancies, as well as overtime for fire staff deployed on strike teams throughout the state.
o Non-discretionary expenditures are projected to exceed budget due to continued increases in gas and electricity costs, primarily from several rate increases implemented by PG&E.
o Sales taxes related to Measures F and R are collected in the General Fund and then transferred out as an expense so the money can be spent in the respective funds in accordance with approved spending plans. Because the FY2023/24 revenues are expected to exceed budget, the related transfer expenses will also be in excess of the approved budget.

A detailed discussion of the fiscal year 2024/25 budget, General Fund forecast and reserve balances will be included in the spring budget workshop, in April leading to the FY2024/25 Preliminary/Adopted budget in June.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive a mid-year update on the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Budget.

ALL FUNDS REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Table 1 – All Funds Revenues

 All Funds revenues through the first half of fiscal year 2023/24 are $67.5 million, or 34% of the amended budget.

 General Fund revenues are $13.06 million or 20% 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 $4.8 million or 29% of the amended budget through December 31, 2023. 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 and transferred to this fund.

 Spring Lake revenues are $3.98 million or 43% of the amended budget. All of the revenues received are related to Spring Lake Infrastructure Fees collected from development activity.

 Enterprise Fund revenues of $28.2 million are tracking as projected and consistent with respective fee studies.

 Internal Service Fund revenues are $9.3 million or 40% 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 half of FY2023/24, All Funds expenditures totaled $93.5 million, or 33% of the amended budget. General Fund expenditures totaled $26.47 million, or 34% of the amended budget.

 Operating expenditures appear to be tracking within budget for all fund types.

 Internal Service funds reflect expenditures of $11.6 million, or 47% of the amended budget, which is consistent with expected trends for the year.

 Enterprise funds expenditures are $21.3 million or 24% of the amended budget after six 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, $13.2 million in debt service expenditures that generally occur in mid-fiscal year, and $33.8 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 $12.46 million or 43% of the amended budget. Of the amended budget $2.06 million in Project Homekey grant funds for construction of homes at the East Beamer Way campus remain unspent; $700,000 in funds available for First Time Homebuyer loans remain unspent, and $2.4 million in expenditures for capital projects are remaining (see CIP Chart below).

 Development/Capital funds are at $6.2 million or 24% of the amended budget. The low percentage for the year results from significant available budget for capital projects that will be completed later in the year. Please refer to the CIP Chart below for details.

 Spring Lake funds are at $9.85 million or 40% of the amended budget. Spring Lake funds include capital projects and developer reimbursements that vary in timing of expenditures. The majority of the expenditures for the fiscal year are for reimbursements to developers for infrastructure projects completed, submitted and approved.

 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 $4.8 million or of 70% of the amended budget due to debt service payments made on certain bonds during the first quarter, with remaining payments scheduled later in the year.

Table 3 – All Funds Expenditures by Department

 At the end of the first half of fiscal year 2023/24, all departments appear to be tracking closely to budget.

 Administrative Services expenditures can be front-loaded in a fiscal year due mostly to insurance premiums that are paid at the beginning of the fiscal year.

 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 have long-term, multi-year budgets. The City implemented new financial software in April 2023 and the process for automatically carrying forward budgets for capital projects is not currently working as designed. There is significant budget unspent from FY2022/23 that will carry over to FY2023/24 within the next month. Because of the low “Amended Budget” number for Capital Improvements in the chart above, YTD expenditures appear to be trending high. Please 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.

GENERAL FUND REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Table 4 – General Fund Revenues

 Through the end of the first two quarters of FY2023/24, General Fund revenues are $13.06 million or 20% of the amended budget. Based on information available, staff is projecting that revenues will exceed the amended budget by close to $600k by fiscal year end.

 The City receives its first installment of property tax payments in January 2024.

Information received from Yolo County indicates that the total assessed value increased by

5.7% from the prior year; the FY2023/24 budget assumed a 4.5% growth factor. The City will likely receive an increase that is closer to 5%, as the City also has to factor in adjustments related to appeals to valuation assessments. The better than anticipated growth in assessed value also has a positive impact on Motor Vehicle In Lieu revenues.

 The Sales Tax category of revenues includes all expected receipts from the Bradley Burns (1% local portion of the statewide rate), Measure F (1/2 cent local sales tax), and Measure R (1/4 cent local sales tax). Measures F and R have their own respective Council approved spending plans and funds, but the revenue is first received in the General Fund and then transferred to these other funds for ultimate use on programs and projects.

o Bradley Burns sales tax revenues, which remain in the General Fund, are expected to fall short of the budget by almost $700k. The City works with a consultant that DifferenceYear-to Date FY2023/24 Favorable Original Budget Amended Budget Actuals% Projection (Unfavorable)Property Tax 16,325,332$ 16,325,332$ -$ 0% 16,480,261$ 154,929$ Sales Tax Bradley Burns 17,671,881$ 17,671,881$ 4,319,386$ 24% 16,972,985$ (698,896)$ Measure F 7,668,515$ 7,668,515$ 1,908,060$ 25% 7,909,336$ 240,821$ Measure R 3,802,017$ 3,802,017$ 946,675$ 25% 3,923,776$ 121,759$ Other Taxes (TOT) 1,999,485$ 1,999,485$ 597,624$ 30% 1,715,000$ (284,485)$ Franchise Fees 2,835,501$ 2,835,501$ 809,258$ 29% 3,141,160$ 305,659$ Licenses/Permits 2,447,144$ 2,447,144$ 1,662,032$ 68% 2,675,500$ 228,356$ Fines/Forfeitures 218,890$ 218,890$ 61,510$ 28% 227,250$ 8,360$ Service Charges 768,223$ 768,223$ 449,663$ 59% 699,848$ (68,375)$ Motor Vehicle In Lieu 6,750,972$ 6,750,972$ -$ 0% 7,100,537$ 349,565$ Intergovernmental 311,151$ 311,151$ 30,342$ 10% 283,723$ (27,428)$ Lease/Interest Income 636,888$ 636,888$ 83,475$ 13% 655,446$ 18,558$ Miscellaneous 3,980,235$ 3,980,235$ 2,195,410$ 55% 4,230,641$ 250,406$ Transfers -$ -$ -$ 0% -$ Total General Fund 65,416,234$ 65,416,234$ 13,063,435$ 20% 66,015,463$ 599,229$ FY2023/24 General Fund Revenues

provides detailed reviews and forecasts for sales tax revenues. Based on the most recent data, sales tax revenues are declining in a number of categories throughout the City, with the largest impact coming from reduced car sales, decreasing gas prices/sales, reduction in sales of construction related supplies and overall general retail weakening.
o Measure F revenues are projected to exceed the budget by $240,821. These revenues are transferred out to a separate fund (1507) at the end of the fiscal year for use in the approved spending plan.
o Measure R revenues are projected to exceed budget by $121,759. These revenues are also transferred out of the General Fund to a separate fund (1102) at the end of the fiscal year for use in the approved spending plan.
o The transfer of the Measures F and R revenues out of the General Fund are recorded as an expense; because these revenues are expected to exceed the original budget, the related expenditures will also increase in the same amounts.

 Other Taxes, which consists mostly of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues, is anticipated to be under the original budget estimate by $284,485. This shortfall is due almost entirely to one hotel that has not been reporting or remitting the required TOT revenues. Staff has been working to collect these revenues and utilizing options available to compel payment; but given the challenges associated and ongoing delinquency, the revenue forecast has been adjusted and is not expecting collection within the fiscal year.

 Franchise Fee revenues are expected to exceed budget by $305,659. This variance is due mostly to higher revenues for both PG&E and Waste Management; since the franchise fee is based on a percent of their revenues, the associated contribution to the City also increases.

 Licenses and Permit revenue is projected to end the year with $228,356 in excess of the amended budget. This favorable variance is due to continued strong building permit related activity in the City.

 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.

 Miscellaneous revenues are projected to exceed budget by $250,406. This additional revenue is related to reimbursements the City received for Fire operations staff that assisted with various strike team activities throughout the year. This revenue is offset by additional overtime costs incurred, which are also discussed in this report.

Table 5 – General Fund Expenditures by Category

 Through the second quarter of FY2023/24, General Fund expenditures (not including encumbrances) total $26.47 million or 34% of the amended budget.

 Personnel costs are at 46% of the amended budget through the first six months of activity Staff is projecting that personnel costs through the end of the fiscal year will come in under the amended budget by $323,187. These savings result from various staff vacancies throughout the year, partially offset by increased overtime costs needed to backfill the vacancies; some of the overtime is reimbursable.

 Supplies and Services total $4.76 million or 36% of the amended budget through the second quarter of operations, however, expenses within this category can and typically do fluctuate with timing. Staff is projecting to be over the amended budget by $51,871 in this category due primarily due to necessary adjustments to department budgets to account for items that were unanticipated during the budget process. These adjustments are proposed for appropriations under a separate Council item.

 Education and Training expenses total $124,214 through the first half of the year, with projected costs exceeding budget by $21,000 due to a membership fee for the City that was omitted during the budget process and will be proposed for correction under a separate Council item.

 Non-discretionary expenses are currently at $4.06 million or 49% of amended budget through the first six months of activity. Examples of items included in this category are utilities, contributions for vehicle replacement and maintenance costs, technology VarianceYear-to DateFavorableOriginal Budget Amended Budget Actuals %Projections (Unfavorable)Personnel 37,820,114$ 37,823,614$ 17,350,353$ 46% 37,500,427$ 323,187$ Supplies & Services8,259,521$ 13,211,127$ 4,760,307$ 36% 13,262,998$ (51,871)$ Education & Training326,866$ 330,857$ 124,214$ 38% 351,857$ (21,000)$ Capital Expenditures-$ 398,118$ 172,026$ 43% 398,118$ -$ Non-Discretionary8,175,831$ 8,236,921$ 4,064,522$ 49% 8,363,921$ (127,000)$ Operating Transfers13,104,827$ 17,245,844$ -$ 0% 17,608,425$ (362,581)$ Total All Categories 67,687,159$ 77,246,481$ 26,471,422$ 34% 77,485,746$ (239,265)$ FY2023/24 General Fund Expenditures

services support, and indirect costs (City overhead). Staff is projecting to exceed the amended budget by $127,000 due to increased cost of gas and power (PG&E).  Operating Transfers consist primarily of the transfer of Measure F and Measure R sales taxes received to the capital projects fund, transfer of funds set aside for the Southeast Area Pool project, as well as the annual subsidy for the Storm Drain and Cemetery operations and the annual contribution to pre-fund other post-employment benefits. Fund transfers are typically recorded toward the end of the fiscal year, when more accurate information is available regarding required transfer amount. The projected overage of $362,581 in this category is due to better-than-expected revenues for both Measures F and R, which will be transferred out of the General Fund as an expense.

Table 6 – General Fund Expenditures by Department

 General Fund expenditures by department for the first six months of operations are $26.47 million, or 34% of the amended budget. Year-to-date actuals show most departments are spending in line with their budgets, however, FY2023/24 end-of-year projections indicate citywide expenditures exceeding the amended budget by $196,163.

Some of these overages will be addressed with proposed budget additions or corrections under a different Council report, and some of these overages are partially offset by additional revenues, as discussed herein.

 Administrative Services is expected to exceed the amended budget by $36,407 mostly due to payment of a citywide membership fee that was omitted from the budget, as well as some overages in the personnel category for unanticipated leave payouts for employees who terminated employment with the City.

 Community Development is expected is expected to be under the amended budget by approximately $141,311. This is due to a salary savings as a result of staff turnover, as well as from staff charging time directly to projects outside the General Fund. These savings are partially offset by anticipated additional contract service costs to assist with plan check work load as well as to begin the process of updating the City fees associated with the recently adopted Zoning Code.

 Community Services is expected exceed the amended budget by $242,500. These expenditure overages are primarily due to adjustments to expenses for temporary program staffing and to account for increased utility costs resulting from rate increases with PG&E. Proposed budget additions or corrections to address these items will be presented under a separate Council report.

 Police is expected to underspend their budget by $1.02 million. This is almost entirely as a result salary and benefit savings resulting from both staff vacancies and long-term injuries. Although some of the vacancy savings are offset by increased overtime costs necessary to backfill shifts, the overall result is expected to be a savings for the department.

 Fire is expected to exceed the amended budget by $262,281. Some of this expense overage is due to Strike Team, Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), and operations overtime. Strike Team and USAR activities account for $171,906 of this overtime expense. The amounts are reimbursed by the Federal government, and staff will be including mid-year corrections to account for these expenses. The remaining over-budget amount is due to a position over-hire as a result of an expected vacancy; and overtime incurred to cover staff vacancies resulting from work related injuries.

 Library is expected to exceed the amended budget by $175,254. Staff is projecting personnel costs to exceed budget for both permanent and temporary staff.

 Public Works is expected to end the fiscal year with savings of $56,714. Staff is projecting savings as a result of full-time vacancies, partially offset by additional costs for utility and unanticipated facility related costs.

 During development of the budget, staff assumed overall savings will occur in the Personnel category as a result of vacancies throughout the year. These savings were reflected as negative budgets in the Non-Departmental category. Because there are minimal actual expenditures to offset these budgeted savings, year-end results appear to be over budget. However, any savings that might be realized would be included within each department category. Finally, transfers to other funds are included in this category,

and due to the expected increase in Measure F and Measure R sales tax revenues, the related transfer of that money to the separate fund will also be increased.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: March 19, 2024
ITEM #: G.14
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2023/24 Mid-Year Budget Adjustments

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing amendments to the Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget totaling $5,246,284.

Staff Contact:

Kim McKinney, Administrative Services Director, (530) 661-5849, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The recommended action will authorize corrections and supplemental budget appropriations of $5,246,284 to support operational expenditures across a variety of city funds. These proposed budget amendments, by fund, are detailed in Attachment A and summarized in the Resolution.

Background:

On June 20, 2023, the City Council adopted the fiscal year 2023/24 (FY2023/24) budget totaling $206,847,391 in appropriations in support of citywide operations, capital improvement projects, and expenses related to the Woodland Finance Authority and the Successor Agency to the Woodland Redevelopment Agency. During the first six months of FY23/24, the City Council approved $73,252,175 in budget amendments, which included prior fiscal year carryovers (operations and capital projects), Capital Improvement additional appropriations, and other staff requested budget augmentations and corrections.

Included as a separate item on the agenda, the City Council is receiving the FY2023/24 Mid-Year Report, representing revenue and expenditure results through the first six months of the fiscal year, along with updated projections for the remainder of FY2023/24. In conjunction with the midyear budget update, staff is requesting that the City Council authorize, by resolution, amendments to the FY2023/24 budget across various funds, as detailed in the attachment and highlighted briefly herein.

Discussion:

Staff is requesting formal action for supplemental FY2023/24 budget appropriations totaling $5,246,284. The requested appropriations are funded through a mixture of new or increased revenues, available dedicated reserves, or use of unassigned fund balances from various funds.

Of the $5,246,284 in requested appropriations, staff expects $729,646 in offsetting revenue, for a total net impact of $4,513,338.

The following is a discussion, by fund, of the recommended budget adjustments:

General Fund
Utilities Costs - $122,000; due to increasing gas and electricity rates with PG&E, an adjustment to the budget for City parks and facilities is necessary.

Strike Team and Urban Search and Rescue Overtime- $171,906; When the City deploys Fire personnel to assist with wildfire strike teams/urban search and rescue throughout the State, the overtime and equipment related costs the City incurs as a result of these efforts need to be added to
