“NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH”
WHEREAS, “Native American Heritage Month” has been established at the national and state levels with proclamations and celebrations to recognize the diverse cultures, traditions, histories, significant contributions and present day lives of Native Americans; WHEREAS, the City of Woodland established in 1871, within an area of California that represented the un-ceded territory of indigenous people known as the Patwin or Southern Wintun;
WHEREAS, the earliest historic written records of the Patwin (which literally means “people” in the native tribal language) begin with the Spanish mission explorations and registers, and ethno-historic records show the Patwin inhabited land from the hills of the eastern North Coast Ranges to the Sacramento River, and from Princeton south to the San Pablo and Suisun bays; WHEREAS, like most indigenous people throughout the United States, the Patwin people were forced from their ancestral lands onto rancherias during the early 1900s, where they currently reside, as citizens of three sovereign, federally-recognized tribal governments, today known as the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, Kletsel Dehe Band of Wintun Indians, and Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians; WHEREAS, the City of Woodland is to be acknowledged as historical Patwin territory, out of respect for the Patwin people as the original stewards of the land upon which this City has thrived; WHEREAS, the City of Woodland has a meaningful government-to-government relationship with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation and works in partnership to address the needs of the community and improve the lives of people who live within their respective jurisdictions today;
WHEREAS, Native people have made and continue to make distinct and significant contributions in many fields, including academic scholarship, agriculture, astronomy, art, business, education, ecology, engineering, environmentalism, economics, forestry, government, language, leadership, literature, mathematics, medicine, military, music, politics, poetry, science, and traditional cultural practices; WHEREAS, the designation of Native American Heritage Month will encourage educational institutions and departments in the City of Woodland to enhance their understanding of Native Americans by providing accurate curriculum, focusing on the local Patwin tribes, as well as the historical and contemporary achievements and contributions of Native Americans; WHEREAS, the City of Woodland discourages any and all forms of racial slurs, names, or imagery that depict indigenous people as mascots or logos in educational institutions, sports teams, or any other organization within this City/County; WHEREAS, the City of Woodland will encourage its citizens to acknowledge and celebrate November as Native American Heritage Month every year to foster education, relationships, and cooperation with Native people while also supporting social and economic opportunities for them within the City of Woodland.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, the Councilmembers on behalf of the citizens of Woodland hereby proclaim November as Native American Heritage Month in the city of Woodland. In doing so, the City of Woodland will recognize and observe Native American Heritage Month in November by encouraging its public institutions and organizations to publicly celebrate Native American Heritage Month.

Staff Contact:
Amanda Portier, Marketing & Business Relations Specialist, (530) 661- 5920, [email protected]
Background:
Woodland’s small businesses build community pride and contribute to the local economy. Previous City Councils have declared the Saturday following Thanksgiving as “Small Business Saturday” as part of a nationwide campaign to "shop small and eat local." This year presents another opportunity to recognize and support our local businesses.
Discussion:
The City of Woodland is particularly well-positioned to recognize our small businesses because they represent such an important part of our community. For instance:
• More than 80% of Woodland businesses have ten or fewer employees • More than 60% of Woodland businesses have five or fewer employees • Many of Woodland’s restaurants are independently-owned small businesses and feature diverse cuisines representing nearly fifteen countries.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council proclaim Saturday, November 30, 2024 as "Small Business Saturday" in Woodland.
Attachments:
1. Proclamation - Shop Small Saturday 2024

WHEREAS, small businesses employ 45.9% of American workers, or about 59 million people; and WHEREAS, over 80% of Woodland businesses have 10 or fewer employees; and WHEREAS, the idea behind Small Business Saturday is to inspire consumers to patronize local enterprises during the highly profitable pre-holiday shopping season; and
WHEREAS, the City of Woodland supports our local businesses that create jobs, boost our local economy, and preserve our communities; and WHEREAS, advocacy groups, as well as public and private organizations across the country, have endorsed the Saturday after Thanksgiving as Small Business Saturday; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Woodland does hereby proclaim November 30, 2024, as Small Business Saturday and urges residents to celebrate and support small businesses and merchants on Small Business Saturday and throughout the year.

ITEM #: F.7
SUBJECT: Authorize a Budget Augmentation of $57,000 for Additional Work on the Library Public Restrooms
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _______, authorizing the City Manager to execute a budget augmentation of $57,000 in the Library budget for additional work on the public restroom drainage.
Staff Contact:
Reece Ulrich, Fleet and Facilities Manager, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The additional work will be funded out of Measure F and is estimated to be $47,500. Staff has included an additional 20% contingency to cover any additional costs or changes necessary to meet the project objectives.
Background:
On January 10, 2022, the City engaged McCandless and Associates to develop plans for remodeling the restrooms at the Woodland Library to bring them into ADA compliance. The project was bid in conformance with the public contracting code and the low bidder selected was All About Building (AAB). The City approved entering into a contract with AAB on September 20, 2020. The City hired Ponticello Engineering to manage the project, and the work was completed within the contract period.
The improvements were accepted by the City Council on April 18, 2023.
Discussion:
Shortly after the restrooms were returned to public use, frequent clogging of the sewer lines were experienced. The sewer back ups resulted in overflow onto the floors and down into the lower level. It was determined that the slope of the reconstructed floor was inadequate to effectively convey water to the floor drain. The contractor and surety were notified, and a warranty claim was issued. During discussions on how to remediate the problems, the City building official and contractor agreed that a larger trough-style drainage inlet and increased floor slope would more reliably intercept surface flow from the toilets, and improved fixture fittings would prevent leaks at the floor connections.
To accomplish these tasks the new stall enclosures would need to be uninstalled and the floor removed. A new drain inlet would be installed, and the floor slope improved using a ‘float’ layer. New tile would be set, and the partitions and fixtures reinstalled. The cost of reconstructing the floor slope would be borne by the contractor, while the city would bear the cost for increasing the capacity of the drain, with the city share of the work estimated at $47,500.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _______, authorizing the City Manager to execute a budget augmentation of $57,000 in the Library budget for additional work on the public restroom drainage.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Fiscal Year 2023/24 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan Amendment
#1
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council open and continue the public hearing to a date certain of December 3, 2024.
Staff Contact:
Dan Sokolow, Senior Planner (530) 661-2019, [email protected]
Background:
On June 20, 2023, the City of Woodland adopted the FY 2023/24 Action Plan covering the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. The City’s Action Plan was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on September 15, 2023. The Action Plan is a planning document required by HUD for local government entities (cities and counties) receiving federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and other formula grant program funds. The Action Plan outlines specific projects and activities that the City will carry out during the July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 fiscal year. Staff is work on an amendment to add a new activity to the FY 2023/24 Action Plan by funding the rehabilitation of restroom/shower trailers at the Fourth & Hope emergency shelter (Yolo Wayfarer Center) at an estimated amount of $131,000 in CDBG funds.
The public hearing notice for the amendment to the Action Plan was published for the City Council November 19, 2024 meeting. Due to unforeseen circumstances, this item was not able to be prepared in time for the agenda and is therefore being requested to be continued to the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting of December 3, 2024.

ITEM #: G.9
SUBJECT: Prohousing Designation Program Application Public Hearing
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing to receive testimony regarding the City of Woodland's intention to apply to the California Department of Housing and Community Development's Prohousing Designation Program.
Staff Contact:
Spencer Bowen, Communication & Strategic Policies Manager, (530) 661- 5808, [email protected]
Amanda Portier, Marketing & Business Relations Specialist, (530) 661- 5920, [email protected]
Background:
The State of California's 2019-2020 Budget Act and Government Code section 65589.9 provided for the establishment of the Prohousing Designation Program. This Program created incentives for jurisdictions that are compliant with state housing element requirements and that have enacted policies to facilitate housing production.
Discussion:
Jurisdictions that are determined to be "Prohousing" will receive additional points or other preference during the scoring of competitive applications for specified housing and infrastructure funding from the State of California. Since the adoption of Woodland's new Comprehensive Zoning Code, staff members believe the City will be a competitive applicant and has identified this opportunity to better position Woodland for future funding and programming. The application does not require an ordinance or policy change; rather, it requires City staff to articulate many of the "prohousing" policies that Woodland has already adopted.
On July 16, 2024, City Council approved Resolution No. 8363 authorizing staff to proceed with the Prohousing Designation Program application. The program requires that the City's application undergo a public participation process through a public hearing and other engagement methods. On September 17, 2024, City Council held a public hearing regarding the City's Prohousing Designation Program Application. Since then, City staff completed technical assistance calls with the Prohousing Designation Program staff, clarified the application requirements, strengthened existing materials, and completed application gaps to post a final application draft on November 6, 2024. Today's Public Hearing notice was published in the Daily Democrat on November 12, 2024. The final draft application document is available for public review both online and in-person until December 6, 2024 as required by the program guidelines. Staff will incorporate any comments received during the public hearing and public review process into the final application.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing to receive testimony regarding the City of Woodland's intention to apply to the California Department of Housing and Community Development's Prohousing Designation Program.

3A – Admin Guidelines (attached on next page)
1 PUBLIC FACILITIES FEE PROGRAM
ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES
REVISION DATED APRIL 2022
I. Introduction
These Public Facilities Fee Program Administrative Guidelines (“Guidelines”) replace in their entirety the Public Facilities Fee Program Administrative Guidelines dated July 2019. These Guidelines primarily apply to the Major Projects Financing Plan (“MPFP”) development impact fees adopted by the City Council of the City of Woodland on April 16, 2019, by Resolution No.7256 pursuant to the authority in Section 15.04.030 of the City of Woodland Municipal Code, which authorizes the imposition of Capital Improvement Facilities Fees on development. These Guidelines also address implementation of the water capacity fee adopted by the City Council on April 16, 2019, by Resolution 7258.
When applicable, these Guidelines also apply to the implementation and administration of all other code sections that impose fees on new development.
Should a situation arise that is not covered by these Guidelines, the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee shall be authorized to make a written decision as to how the fees at issue are to be administered provided that the fees imposed do not change the amount approved by the City Council.
Any applicant dissatisfied with the decision of the City Manager may appeal such decision to the City Council by filing written notice thereof with the City Manager within ten (10) days of receipt of the City Manager’s decision.

“Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit” (“JADU”) as set forth in Section 17.104.010 of the City of Woodland Municipal Code means a residential unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size; is contained entirely within an existing or proposed single-family structure; includes its own separate sanitation facilities or shares sanitation facilities with the exiting or proposed single-family structure; and includes an efficiency kitchen.
III. Fee Applicability
A. New Construction
1. Residential
a. Single Family Dwelling Units (SFD) –
(1) First Structure on a Lot (8 units per acre or less). Units shall be subject to development fees on a per dwelling
unit basis at the single family rate. The first structure on a single family lot shall be charged the single family rate regardless of size.
(2) Multiple Units on One Lot (8 units per acre or less). The City recognizes that smaller dwelling units have fewer
impacts than larger dwelling units and that multiple
4 smaller units on one lot will generally have fewer
impacts than the same number of larger dwelling units.
For any lot that has not previously been developed, any new construction creating two to three units will be
charged impact fees based on square footage of dwelling space (but excluding garage square footage) as follows:
oFor units 1,201 square feet and larger, the City
will charge the Single Family rate.
oFor units 701 square feet to 1,200 square feet, the
City shall charge the Multi-Family rate.
oFor units 700 square feet and less, the City shall
charge 80% of the small Multi-Family rate for
the first unit and the small Multi-Family rate for
any additional units smaller than 700 square feet.
(3) Accessory dwelling units (maximum 1,200 square feet per City Code 17.104.010).
oNo impact fee is required for an ADU or JADU
that is less than 750 square feet in size.
o Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that
is 750 square feet or larger in size must be
charged proportionately in relation to the square
footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., floor
area of the ADU divided by the floor area of the
primary dwelling, times the typical fee amount
charged for a new dwelling.) Pursuant to Section
17.104.010 B.4 of the City’s Municipal Code,
accessory dwelling units shall not be considered
new residential for the purposes of calculating
local agency connection fees or capacity charges
for water and sewer service. Water and sewer
impact and capacity fees for ADU’s may be
charged in conformance with California
Government Code Section 65852.2 under certain
circumstances. Only one ADU is allowed per lot.
Any additional residential unit on the same lot
shall not be considered an ADU and shall pay
utility impact fees and capacity charges.
(4) Residential Accessory Buildings that do not meet the criteria of an ADU (such as a shed or workshop), as set forth in Section 17.104.010 of the City of Woodland
Municipal Code, and are 700 square feet or less will not be charged impact fees.
b. Multi-Family Dwelling Units –
5 (1) Development Impact Fees. Projects with more than 8 units per acre shall be subject to development fees on a per dwelling unit basis at the multi-family rate. Multi- family dwelling units that are larger than 1,500 square feet have a similar impact as a single family residence and, therefore, shall pay the Single Family rate.
(2) Water Capacity Fee.
i. Multi-Family Dwelling Units shall be charged
the water capacity fee per new meter based on
meter size. If a development has multiple
meters it will be charged the water capacity fee
for each meter (e.g. if there is a 1” Landscape
service meter and a 2” domestic meter for each
building in the complex, the total water capacity
fee will be for one 1” meter fee plus one 2”
meter fee for each building in the complex).
ii. For individually metered Multi-Family
Dwelling Units less than 1200 square feet but
equal to or larger than 700 square feet, the water
rate shall be 75% of the 1” meter rate.
iii. For individually metered Small Multi-Family
Units less than 700 square feet, the water rate
shall be 50% of the 1” meter rate.
2. Non-Residential
a. Development Impact Fees. Retail, service, office, and industrial uses will be subject to development fees on a square footage basis using the land use categories found on the attached land use table. b. Water Capacity Fees. Water capacity fees shall be charged per each new additional meter. If a development has multiple meters it will be charged the water capacity fee for each meter (e.g. if there is a 1” Landscape service meter and a 2” domestic meter, the fee will be for one 1” meter fee plus one 2” meter fee).
c. Storage Areas. When a non-residential property has storage or sales areas that are not under a defined building, the area will be subject to fees on a square footage basis for the applicable land use type.
B. Improvements to Existing Development
1. Residential –
6 Development Impact Fees. Improvements or additions to existing dwelling units that do not create an additional dwelling unit are not subject to payment of impact fees.
Water Capacity Fee. When a parcel map is used to separate individual houses that were previously all or both on one lot, or to create a split lot duplex from a duplex, a new meter and service may be required. However, the existing site shall be credited with one existing service. If a separate meter is added for a duplex (without a parcel map), then a water capacity fee must be paid for the new meter.
2. Non-residential –
Development Impact Fees. Additions to existing buildings or new buildings on partially developed properties will be subject to development impact fees, on a per square foot basis for the applicable land use type, based on the additional square footage.
Water Capacity Fee. Expansion of commercial or office facilities that do not require a new service or meter will not be charged a Water Capacity Fee. Expansion of a facility that replaces an existing meter with a larger meter shall be charged the differential between the larger meter fee amount less a credit for the current cost of the existing service.
C. Auto Dealerships
Any auto dealership, with the exception of dealerships that primarily operate as an e-commerce business, shall pay 50% of the applicable development impact fees for General City, Fire, Police and Roads to account for the reduced impacts comparative to other industrial users that generally operate multiple shifts over a 24-hour period. This fee is only applicable for auto dealerships that develop within the City limits from and after June 2019.
D. Light Industrial Flex Overlay Zone
Any use that meets the industrial classification and expansion size limits, and is located within the Light Industrial Flex Overlay district bounded by East Street, I-5 and E Main Street, shall pay 50% of the applicable development impact fees for General City, Fire, Police, and Roads to account for the reduced impacts from these facilities due to the more limited operation these uses will have compared to those allowed within the Industrial Zone. In order to meet this fee category, the development
7 must consist of a new building that is less than 25,001 square feet or an expansion that is less than 25,001 square feet.
E. Outdoor Storage, Canopied Areas, Pole Barns
When a non-residential property has storage or sales areas that are not under a defined building, and the enclosure or cover requires a building permit, the area will be subject to fees on a square footage basis for the applicable land use type.
F. Utility Connections
When a property owner only requests connection to City utilities, development impact fees will be due for the affected services only. City water (for domestic use, fire protection, or irrigation, or any combination) or sewer will not be provided individually if both are readily available to a property. A request for either water or sewer service will require a connection to both water and sewer and payment of the development fee for each. The property owner will be charged only the meter installation fee if the water connection is for landscaping only, there is no building, and there is no septic or waste facility servicing the property.
G. Change in Use
When a business license is requested for a new business that is going to occupy an existing building, the City shall evaluate the proposed new land use. If the proposed use will be more intense than the prior use, the City shall calculate the fee to be paid based on, as applicable, trip generation, storm water impact, dwelling unit equivalent (DUE) water usage, and sewer impact.
H. Structure Exempt From Building Permits
Fees will be imposed to the extent permitted by law on any development that does not require a building permit from the City of Woodland (refer to Government Code 54999 regarding public entities). Such development will often be required to apply to the City for a permit other than a building permit, for example, when requests are made for a use permit, encroachment, water or sewer connection permit. Any such permit shall be conditioned to include development fees on a per square foot basis at a rate appropriate for the proposed use.
IV. Exemptions from Payment of Fees.
8 A. Interior alterations that do not increase the gross square footage of a building and do not result in a more intense land use will not be subject to development fees.
B. Water services that serve fire flow shall not be charged a water capacity fee. Usually fire flow is served through a separate unmetered service. If fire flow is served through a metered service; the applicant may request a reduction in fees by submitting calculations prepared by a licensed professional engineer, or fire suppression engineer, or other licensed individual approved by the Community Development Director. The Community Development Director may then approve a reduction in fees.
C. Buildings that are constructed, owned and maintained by the City of Woodland will not be subject to development impact fees.
V. Credits
Any applicant requesting a credit shall submit a written request to the Community Development Department. Credits may be applied for demolition of existing or previous structures. The amount of credit will be calculated using the then current fees (as if a building permit for the prior building were pulled simultaneously with the permit for the new building). Credit shall not exceed fees due by both fee category and net overall. The amount of credits will be determined by the City Engineer.
A. Structures that were both located within the City limits and demolished prior to August 15, 1991 (the date of approval of the original MPFP program) will receive a credit of 50% of the impact fees for all categories except roads. No credit will be allowed for the roads category. The applicant will need to provide adequate documentation regarding the size and use of the structure in order to receive the credit.
B. Any structure demolished after August 14, 1991 but more than eight years from the date of building permit issuance will receive a full credit of all fees except the roads category. There will be no credit allowed for the roads category. The applicant will need to provide adequate documentation regarding the size and use of the demolished structure in order to receive the credit.
C. Structures that have been demolished within the eight years from building permit issuance will receive full credit for all impact fees, including the road fee. The applicant will need to provide adequate documentation regarding the size and use of the demolished structure in order to receive the credit.
9 VI. Adjustments
A. The development fees have been established using certain averages for water use, sanitary sewer flow, storm water runoff, and trip generation.
Any proposed non-residential project that exceeds these averages will be subject to a case by case analysis by the City Engineer and may be required to pay additional fees if they exceed the averages in this section, which in some cases may be higher than the averages used to establish the development impact fees. The averages that each project will be compared with are as follows:
1. Water - domestic and irrigation
a. Retail > 317 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
b. Service > 346 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
c. Office > 244 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
d. Industrial > 317 gal./1000 sq. ft./day
2. Sanitary Sewer: Note that for excessive BOD or TSS it is typically more economical for businesses to pretreat the waste water prior to discharge into the City system. Likewise there is a quantitative limit to how much waste water the City system can take.
Excessive flows would require either expansion of the City treatment capability or pre-treatment. The timing of expansions of the Wastewater Treatment Plant is planned to accommodate normal build out of the City. Because expansions can take 4-5 years to plan and construct, abnormal demands on the system may not be able to be accommodated without significant lead time.
Fees for development with abnormal flows are based on equivalent dwelling unit cost calculations by the City Engineer and approved by the Community Development director.
a. Retail > 110.2 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
b. Service > 137.7 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
c. Office > 91.8 gal/1000 sq. ft./day
d. Industrial > 103.3 gal./1000 sq. ft./day
e. BOD > 235 ppm or mg/L
3. Storm Drainage
Non-Residential Building size < 25% or > 45% of property.
4. Roads. For land uses that generate more than 10 peak hour trips/1,000 square feet, a special calculation will be required to determine their road impact fee. Examples of land uses that generate more than 10 peak hour trips/1,000 square feet are as follows: gas station, fast food, car wash, convenience market,
10 projects including a drive through. This is not a comprehensive list.
No credits or reduction of fees are allowed for projects falling below these averages.
B. Fee Deferral for Development
Should a developer wish to request a fee deferral, the request shall be in writing and in conformance with the City’s adopted fee deferral program.
C. Development Fee Waiver
In no event shall any development fees be waived unless the City is able to determine and secure an alternative source of funding to replace the fees.
VII. Fee Calculation
Upon receipt of an application for a building permit, the Community Development Department (CDD) shall determine the number of single family dwelling units, multi-family dwelling units, or the square footage and proposed use in the case of commercial/industrial projects, and will then add this information to the application.
A. Community Development will determine if any development fees have been previously paid.
B. Any fee categories that were previously paid on an acreage basis, and included in the land of the currently proposed project, shall be considered paid in full. Fee categories that were established after the prior payment will be charged at the time of the building permit application.
C.Community Development will next determine if the project qualifies for any credits or adjustments and will indicate such on the form. When a single industrial building is divided for the purpose of leasing to separate users, the development fees will be calculated based on the separate uses. For example, if a 40,000 sq. ft. building in an industrial area is divided into two 20,000 sq. ft. spaces, with one side occupied by a small warehouse type operation and the other strictly for office use, the development impact fees will be calculated for 20,000 square feet of industrial use and 20,000 square feet of office use.
D. No differentiation will be made for mixed uses of a single user, such as the internal office area of an industrial building. The development impact fee will be calculated based on the primary use of the building.
11 E. Storm drain impact fees will be calculated on a per acre basis, to allow for collection at time of building permit. The fees collected will be based on a storm water shed zone (See Map in Appendix B) specific acreage basis:
1. New Residential: Calculated at Final Map as the fee/acre multiplied by the number of acres divided by the total number of units and collected on an average cost per lot basis per the Map. When the project consists of multiple units grouped in building clusters, and only one building permit per cluster is needed (e.g. apartment complex), the multi-family residential storm water fee is due in its entirety at the pulling of the first building permit.
2. Infill Residential: Calculated as either the lot size divided by infill acreage or lot size divided by the number of units divided by infill acreage.
3. Commercial: Collected on the size of the lot unless the lot is not being fully developed. Fully developed means that all portions of the lot are developed as within the building footprint, hardscape or landscape, or the developed property is at the maximum floor area ratio FAR). For prior development infill or additions, the fee is calculated as the square footage of the building footprint divided by the floor area ratio of 0.4 divided by 43,560 sf. (building footprint s.f./0.4)/43,560 sf/acre F. The fee calculations are performed by Community Development staff and then approved by a senior engineer or designee. Discretionary interpretations/credits/and deferrals are approved by the Development Services Senior Engineer or City Engineer. Applicants may appeal to the Community Development Director.
G. Community Development will complete its final computation of the total development fees due. The form will be attached to the building permit, and the development fees due are included in the cost of the building permit unless otherwise deferred consistent with the City’s fee deferral ordinance.
The applicant shall then pay all Development Fees in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
VIII. Developer In-Lieu Improvements
Whenever a developer is required as a condition of approval of a development project, or permitted in the City’s discretion, to construct a public facility described in the MPFP, the City and developer shall execute a reimbursement or credit agreement. Credits will be capped at the amount that is in the fee program plus CCI since the last update.
The timing and method of payment (credit or reimbursement) will be negotiated and included as part of the reimbursement agreement and approved by the City Council prior to construction of the improvements. If the improvements are to be
12 financed by an assessment district (including Mello-Roos), credits may be given to the individual property owner and/or reimbursement shall be made to the district. The proposed spread of credits/reimbursement must also be approved by the City Council prior to construction of the improvements. Reimbursement shall be limited to costs specified in the fee program plus CCI since the last update.
In order to receive any reimbursement or credit for constructing a project identified in the MPFP, the developer must submit evidence that this work was secured through a competitive bidding process and certify that prevailed wages were paid appropriately.
If the developer has pulled building permits and paid public facility fees prior to the credits/reimbursement agreement being approved by the City Council, the developer will only receive credits/reimbursements on future permits. No refunds will be processed for the fees paid prior to the credit agreement being approved by the City Council.
A credit may only be taken by the developer to offset the development fee in the category that would normally pay for the constructed improvement. In other words, a street improvement cost will only be subject to credit against the road improvement fee.
IX. Methods of Financing
Fees payable pursuant to Section 15.040.030(C.) of the Woodland Municipal Code may, in the discretion of the City, be financed through the formation of a special benefit assessment district, a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District, or analogous financing mechanism. In the event such debt financing is authorized by the City, the City shall apply an in-lieu credit against the fee which otherwise would be charged. In the event a financing mechanism is approved to finance public facilities listed in the MPFP, the City may agree to reimburse the developer to the extent the developer has paid special taxes or assessments for such oversized public improvements or has otherwise provided advance funding for such public improvements and has not otherwise been reimbursed.
X. Annual Adjustment of Fees
The amount of development impact fees approved in the Resolution setting or increasing such fees shall be increased annually, on January 1 of each year, in the amount of the percentage increase in the Engineering News Record construction cost index, or any successor index that may be selected by the City Council. Fees may also be adjusted at other times during the year in conjunction with adoption of an updated Major Projects Financing Plan. Fees charged shall be based on the fees in effect at the time they are paid.

1B Permitted missing middle
housing uses by right in
residential zones, exceeding
SB9. The City’s General
Plan, updated and adopted
in May 2017, established
housing policies that
required sufficient land
zoned for a variety of
housing types, residential
densities and housing
prices. (Policies 9.A.2 and
9.A.3). As a result of these
policies, the city’s recent
comprehensive zoning code
update increased allowable
residential densities in
traditionally low-density
zones, including the R-2
zone which previously
allowed for 1-8 dwelling units
per acre and now, as of
June 2024 under the new
Residential – Low Medium
(R-LM) zone, allows for 5-15
dwelling units per acre. This
zone, R-LM, similarly allows
for multi-family product types
on a single parcel up to 15
dwelling units per acre with
minimal staff level
review/approval, exceeding
SB9. Permitted missing
middle product types include
but are not limited to
triplexes, fourplexes,
detached units, cottage
courts, garden style
apartments, small lot
subdivision, etc.

1H Zoning or other land use
designation methods to
allow for residential or mixed
uses in one or more non-
residential zones. The city’s
zoning code allows for by-
right residential
development, including
single family, multifamily and
mixed-use product types in
several commercial (non-
residential zones) including:
Community Commercial,
Neighborhood Commercial,
Downtown Mixed-Use,
Corridor Mixed-Use, and
Business Park zones.
Permitted maximum
densities in each zoning
district range from 40 du/ac
to unlimited du/ac in the
Downtown Mixed-Use zone.
Residential development
within these zones is subject
to the city’s Inclusionary
Housing requirements which
require, based on number of
units proposed, between five
and ten percent of the units
to be made affordable to
low-income households.
Category 1H is further
enhanced through
enhancement factor 2 as the
City’s Inclusionary Housing
Requirement creates
affordable units in every
residential development over
10 or 30 units depending on
location, in the mentioned
zones. This promotes
development consistent with

1I Modified development
standards or land use
designation methods to
promote greater
development intensity. The
city’s zoning code includes
SB9 compliance regulations
in Section 17.84.380, Two-
Unit Projects. Additionally,
the zoning code includes
objective design standards
to simplify and streamline
residential development in
all residential and
commercial mixed-use
zones where residential
development is permitted.
New (as of June 2024) Small
Lot Subdivision guidelines
allow for the waiver of
minimum lot size and width
requirements, waiver of
maximum lot coverage
requirements, as well as
increased setback flexibility
to encourage a variety of
single and multi-family
product types and
configurations in all
residential zones, including
low density zones. Further,
as part of the city’s recent
zoning code update
(adopted June 2024), the
maximum density in the
Residential Low-Medium
zone (formerly R-2 duplex
zone) was increased from 8
to 15 dwelling units per acre
and multifamily product
types are now permitted.

Category 1I is further
enhanced through
enhancement factor 8 as the
updated zoning code
involves meaningful actions
(ex. modified development
standards and increased
density allowance) towards
Affirmatively Furthering Fair
Housing (AFFH).
2A Ministerial approval
processes established for
multiple housing types,
including, for example,
single-family, multifamily,
and mixed-use. The City’s
General Plan, updated and
adopted in May 2017,
established housing policies
that required sufficient land
zoned for a variety of
housing types, residential
densities and housing
prices. (Policies 9.A.2 and
9.A.3). As a result of these
policies, the city updated its
zoning code to permit
multifamily and residential
mixed-use development by-
right (ministerial approval) in
four commercial corridor
mixed-use zones. More
recently in June 2024, the
city adopted a
comprehensive zoning code
update which allows for by-
right, ministerial approval of
single family, duplex, and/or
multifamily development in
several zones including low,
medium and high density
residential and in nearly all
commercial zones.
Category 1B is further
enhanced through

represents one element of a
unified, multi-faceted
strategy that promotes
multiple planning objectives,
including land-use efficiency
and achieves housing
affordable to Lower-Income
households in the relevant
zones.
2B Pre-approved CEQA and
EIR analysis on the 350-acre
Woodland Research &
Technology Park (WRTP)
Specific Plan will allow for
the accelerated production
of up to 1600 housing units
including low, medium and
high-density product types,
ten percent of which are
required to be restricted for
low-income tenants/buyers.
Further, the city’s 2035
General Plan and Climate
Action Plan, updated and
adopted in 2017, include a
certified EIR, allowing for
CEQA tiering exemptions for
projects consistent with the
EIR. The most recent
comprehensive zoning code
update tiered from the
General Plan EIR for its
CEQA analysis, providing
CEQA coverage and
streamlining for future
residential and mixed-use
projects that may entail
some level of discretionary
review.
Category 2B is further
enhanced through
enhancement category 6
because rezoning within the
updated zoning code and
adoption of the WRTP
Specific Plan creates a net
gain of housing capacity,
while concurrently mitigating
development impacts, as

2C Documented practice of
streamlining housing
development at the project
level. For example, Vista Del
Robles, a 72-unit affordable
housing development that
opened earlier this year, was
given by-right approval in a
corridor mixed-use zone.
Another example is the by-
right, ministerial approval of
East Street Apartments, an
83-unit, four story apartment
complex located at the
gateway to the city’s historic
downtown, which included
the proposed demolition of
several hazardous buildings,
in approximately 4 months.

permit processes to
minimize levels of review
and approval for projects
that are consistent with the

design and development
standards, performance
standards and clearly
articulated use standards for
specific use types allow
housing as well as job
generating projects to be
reviewed ministerially or
through a staff level review,
not requiring public hearings.

2I In 2018, the city created a
new Community and
Business Development
Liaison position to provide a
single point of contact for
project applicants as they
navigate the entitlement and
permitting process. The
liaison coordinates project
review and permitting across
multiple city departments
including Building, Planning,
Development Engineering,
Environmental Operations
and Services, Police and
Fire, from initial application
to project development
completion/Certificate of
Occupancy. The role of the
liaison, which is now
expanded to oversee senior
level Planning Division staff,
is to help streamline the
development review and
entitlement process through
the coordination and
facilitation of meetings and
communication between
multiple city divisions and
the project applicant, and to
work with the applicant to
clarify and efficiently resolve
any issues that may arise.
The liaison supports both
residential and
commercial/mixed use
development types.

3A Reduced and/or scaled fees
for infill housing. The city
has an adopted policy which
sets the development impact
fees for residential units up
to a lessor multi-family rate
(approximately $20,000 less
per unit) for multiple units on
one lot. Specifically, the
impact fees are charged as
follows –
For single-family dwelling
(SFD) units:
• For units 1,201
square feet and
larger, the City will
charge the Single
Family rate.
• For units 701 square
feet to 1,200 square
feet, the City shall
charge the Multi-
Family rate.
• For units 700 square
feet and less, the
City shall charge
80% of the small
Multi-Family rate for
the first unit and the
small Multi-Family
rate for any
additional units
smaller than 700
square feet.
For multi-family dwelling
(MFD) units: Projects with
more than 8 units per acre
shall be subject to
development fees on a per
dwelling unit basis at the
multi-family rate. Multifamily

Category 3A is further
enhanced through
enhancement factor 1
because the reduced/scaled
fees encourage higher
density development with
smaller unit sizes leading to
more housing opportunities.
This represents one element
of a unified, multi-faceted
strategy that promotes
multiple planning objectives,
including land-use efficiency
and housing affordability to
Lower-Income households.
3B The City has a dedicated
ADU/JADU staff filled by our
Junior Planner position, and
a dedicated ADU webpage
that includes a step-by-step
guide on ADU/JADU
requirements. The ADU
webpage includes contact
information for the general
planning hotline which the
staff ADU expert monitors
and responds to ADU/JADU
requests accordingly.
Additionally, the staff ADU
expert is available for
consultation in-person at
City Hall.
In accordance with AB 1332,
by January 1, 2025, we will
have a pre-approval
program for ADUs. There
will be a dedicated webpage
that instructs designers on
how to apply for preapproval
and instructs residents on
how to apply for permits
using preapproved plans
once they are available.
Preapproved plans will be
shared with the public on the
city’s ADU webpage.
These policies reduce
barriers for ADU
construction, thus increasing
the number of ADUs and
overall housing supply
throughout the City.

3C Fee deferral program allows
developers to defer a portion
of their development impact
fees to Certificate of

• Cleveland Suites
(16 units, 8 units

Category 3C is further
enhanced through

fee deferral program
provides financial support to
housing developers by
reducing upfront project
costs which incentivizes
residential development and
expands housing
opportunities. Therefore, this
program represents a policy
that involves meaningful
actions towards Affirmatively
Furthering Fair Housing
(AFFH).

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 19, 2024
ITEM #: H.10
SUBJECT: Proposed Revisions to the Construction and
Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends the City Council introduce and waive first reading of an Ordinance to amend Chapter 13.40 of Title 13 of the Woodland Municipal Code relating to Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling and Diversion.
Staff Contact:
Rosie Ledesma, Environmental Resources Program Manager, (530) 661-2059, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
There is no General Fund impact.
Background:
Assembly Bill 939 set requirements for every jurisdiction in California to divert at least 50% of all waste generated from landfills or face fines of up to $10,000 per day. To help the City increase recycling rates and comply with AB 939, the City adopted a Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Recycling Ordinance in 2006. This ordinance was updated in 2016 to align with the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), introducing additional guidelines for C&D debris recycling and waste handling. This change increased the number of applicable projects subject to diversion requirements and raised the required landfill diversion rate of debris generated from C&D projects to 65%.
A 2008 waste characterization study conducted by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) found that 29% of California’s total waste consisted of C&D materials, despite many of these materials, such as lumber, sheetrock, and concrete, being recyclable.
Decomposition of waste in landfills, especially organic waste such as wood, is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in California. Efforts to reduce these GHG emissions are essential to addressing the impact of climate change on human health and the environment.
Discussion:
Since the adoption of the C&D Ordinance in 2006, a refundable $1,000 deposit has been required for each project regardless of their size or value, meaning the same deposit amount was required for a residential garage conversion as it was to build a large retail store. The deposit was intended to encourage compliance with the 65% C&D diversion requirement and the amount of the deposit returned at the end of the project depends on the level of compliance with C&D diversion requirements. The deposit was also capped at $3,000 per builder or contractor with multiple projects, which meant new developments were subject to a $3,000 deposit for an entire subdivision.
In recent years, stricter contamination rules, program oversight challenges, and hauler service issues have led to an unprecedented number of non-compliant projects that have failed to meet the 65% diversion requirement and have not had their deposits returned. This has decreased the City’s overall C&D diversion rate from 85% in 2017 to 72% in 2023, and impacted the City’s ability to meet the 50%
diversion requirement for all waste set by AB 939.
To address these challenges, staff proposes revising the C&D Ordinance to increase equity within the deposit system, encourage the use of deconstruction where demolition is involved, clarify procedures for the City’s C&D program, and ultimately increase the ordinance's efficacy. Under the proposed changes, the deposit will be calculated at 3% of a project’s valuation, with a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $15,000. This revision lowers costs for smaller projects while increasing accountability for larger ones. For permit holders whose projects were previously non-compliant, their deposit increases to 5% of a project’s valuation or a maximum of $25,000 for the next 5 projects.
Other changes include clarifying definitions and language around project site responsibilities, specifying who can complete required forms, and establishing clear reporting guidelines and consequences for end-of-project reporting. It also allows the City to request additional proof of diversion midway through the project if staff finds a lack of diversion efforts during inspections.
In addition to the changes to the C&D ordinance, the City of Woodland has contracted with Green Halo, a software service specializing in C&D waste tracking and reporting, to reduce administrative burdens on staff and allow for more hands-on assistance to contractors. Staff is also updating current educational materials to provide greater clarity and informational resources.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Woodland, California, to amend Chapter 13.40 of Title 13 of the Woodland Municipal Code relating to Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling and Diversion.

This diversion requirement shall extend to every applicable residential construction, remodeling, or demolition project if required by the California Green Building Standards Code.
C. Universal waste items present at every applicable construction, remodeling, or demolition project shall be disposed of properly and diverted from landfills. A list of prohibited universal waste items shall be included in the construction documents for the applicable project. The Permit Holder shall verify compliance with this subsection in its proof of diversion under Section 13.40.090.
13.40.050 Deconstruction.
In preparing the WRR Plan, Permit Holders for permits involving the demolition of all or part of an existing structure shall consider deconstruction, to the maximum extent feasible, and shall make the materials generated thereby available for salvage prior to being transported for disposal in a landfill or transformation facility.
13.40.060 Information required before issuance of building or demolition permit.
A. Submittal of WRR Plan. Every Permit Holder shall submit a WRR Plan completed by the person responsible for managing the waste and recycling for each project as provided by the City as a requirement of the building or demolition permit process. The plan shall be submitted as part of the building permit application packet. The WRR Plan can cover multiple building permits for projects that are occurring at the same time, by the same Permit Holder, on the same project site. Separate WRR Plans must be submitted for each batch of building permits requested. The Permit Holder must provide information on the form that identifies project information and materials to be recycled and/or disposed of and facilities or service providers to be used, whether construction and demolition debris will be sorted on-site (source-separated) or bulk mixed (single stream), methods to reduce the amount of construction and demolition debris generated, and whether the amount of construction and demolition debris will be calculated by weight or volume. The WRR Plan, administrative fee and deposit for each requested building or demolition permit must be submitted before the permit may be issued. Solid waste and construction and demolition debris can only be self-hauled or collected and transported by the City’s franchise solid waste hauler as described in Sections 13.08.030, 13.08.040 and 13.36.030(A)(3).

7 set forth in subsection A of this section. If the compliance official determines that all of the above conditions have been met, he or she shall mark the WRR Plan “approved,” return a copy of the plan to the Permit Holder, and notify the Community Development Department that it has been approved.
C. Denial of WRR Plan. If the compliance official determines that the WRR Plan is incomplete, he or she shall return it to the Permit Holder marked “incomplete, further explanation required.” The Permit Holder must then submit additional information before the WRR Plan can be reviewed and the building or demolition permit issued.
13.40.070 Administrative fee.
A non-refundable administrative fee will be charged for each building or demolition permit in an amount as may be established by City Council resolution to cover the cost for all City expenses incurred in administering this chapter.
13.40.080 Deposits.
Each Permit Holder for a covered project shall submit a deposit calculated at three percent of the estimated total project valuation. Permits without a valid estimated total project valuation shall submit a deposit calculated at $0.25 per square foot of the project area. The deposits shall be a minimum of $500 and not exceed $15,000 per covered project. Permits may not be issued until the deposit is paid. The terms of receiving a refund of the deposit are described in Section 13.40.100.
13.40.090 Compliance with diversion requirements.
A. Inspection Authority. During demolition or construction, the compliance official may inspect project sites to determine compliance with the WRR Plan. When the Permit Holder has received a determination of non-compliance or good faith effort to comply on previous projects subject to this chapter, or upon the City’s request, the Permit Holder may be required to submit additional proof of diversion on a scheduled basis. The Permit Holder, if requested, must supply proof of diversion within five business days. Failure to comply with the WRR Plan or the submittal of requested proof of diversion during construction or demolition may be grounds for issuance of a “stop work” order and/or issuance of administrative citations. Each day that the Permit Holder fails to comply with the requirements of this section constitutes a separate offense.
B. WRR Report. Recyclables must be diverted from the landfill in order to meet the requirements of this chapter. WRR Reports are to be submitted after all construction debris are recycled or disposed of as a precedent to final inspection and certificate of occupancy.
WRR Reports must include proof of diversion for the entirety of the project and all debris generated. The required paperwork for the WRR Report includes:
1. Submittal of a completed City-provided WRR Report;
2. Receipts from the vendor or facility which collected or received each material showing the actual weight or volume of that material (recyclables and solid waste).
Each receipt must clearly state the project title and date. If the receipt provides information for multiple projects, the project titles and the amounts of material for each project must be clearly identified;
8 3. Weight slips, photos or proof of material salvaged or reused in current project with estimated tonnage and/or anticipated reuse. Each receipt or photo must clearly state the project title and date. If the receipt provides information for multiple projects, the project titles and the amounts of material for each project must be clearly identified;
4. Any additional information needed to support a determination of compliance or non-compliance.
If a project involves both demolition and construction, the report and documentation for the demolition project must be submitted and approved by the compliance official before issuance of a building permit for the construction project.
Permit Holders with expired permits will have 30 days to respond to requests regarding the status of their project. Failure to respond will deem the project non-compliant. A new WRR Plan and deposit will be required for reopened permits.
13.40.100 Compliance determination.
Determination of Compliance and Refund of Deposit. The compliance official shall review the end of project WRR Report within 30 calendar days and determine whether the Permit Holder has complied with the diversion requirement, as follows:
A. Full Compliance. The compliance official will notify the Permit Holder and Community Development Department if they determine that the diversion requirements have been met.
The deposit shall be returned to the payee, without interest, through the original payment method within 30 calendar days of the compliance determination.
B. Good Faith Effort to Comply. If the compliance official determines that the diversion requirement has not been achieved, he or she shall determine on a case-by-case basis whether the Permit Holder has made a good faith effort to comply with this chapter. In making this determination, the compliance official shall consider the availability of markets for the construction debris landfilled, the size of the project, and the documented efforts of the Permit Holder to divert construction debris. The Permit Holder and Community Development Department will be notified if this determination is made. A partial (50%) refund of the deposit will be issued to Permit Holders receiving a “good faith effort to comply.” The partial refund will be issued within 30 calendar days of the compliance determination.
C. Noncompliance. If the compliance official determines that the Permit Holder has not made a good faith effort to comply with this chapter no refund will be issued. The deposit shall be forfeited entirely for failure to comply with the requirements of this chapter. Any deposit that is forfeited shall be deposited in the solid waste fund and will be used to implement the City’s recycling program. Permit Holders that have previously received a “noncompliance” determination will be required to post a deposit that is five percent of the total project cost for the Permit Holder’s next five consecutive projects (not to exceed $25,000.00 for each project) following the noncompliance determination. Upon the compliance official’s determination that the applicant has complied with this chapter for the five projects, the applicant shall not be required to comply with the five percent deposit provision (and will only be subject to the three percent deposit requirement in this Section
13.40.080), unless a new violation of this chapter has occurred.
9 Projects that have been constructed without an approved WRR Plan shall be deemed non- compliant and subject to a penalty equal to three percent of the estimated total project valuation. Permit Holders who have both previously constructed a project without an approved WRR Plan and previously received a determination of noncompliance shall be subject to a penalty equal to five percent of the estimated total project valuation. Funds received from penalties and fines shall be used to implement the City’s recycling program and deposited in the solid waste fund.
13.40.110 Appeal.
Within 30 days of written notification of a determination of noncompliance or good faith effort to comply, the Permit Holder has the right to meet with the City Manager, and/or designee, to review the items cited in the written notice and provide any additional evidence to support compliance.
Within 15 days of such meeting, the City Manager, and/or designee, will make a final, written determination of compliance based on the reviews of additional evidence, together with the original WRR Report and proof of diversion. The City Manager, and/or designee, will send a copy of the final, written determinations, including reasons for a noncompliance determination, if any, to the Permit Holder. The City Manager’s decision is final.
13.40.120 Severability.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this chapter is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this chapter.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 19, 2024
ITEM #: H.11
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2024/25 Quarterly Budget Update
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive an informational report representing the FY2024/25 First Quarter Budget Update.
Staff Contact:
Karie Farnham, Financial Services Manager (530) 661-5846, [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) 20223/24 and (2) results through the first three months of fiscal year 2024/25.
Discussion:
This report and the related attachments summarize revenue and expenditure results for all City funds through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023/24 and through the first quarter of fiscal year 2024/25.
In addition, the report highlights revenues and expenditures specifically in the General Fund through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023/24 and through the first quarter of fiscal year 2024/25.
Highlights of the fiscal year 2023/24 results (Attachment A) include the following:
o All Funds revenues through fiscal year-end FY2023/24 were $212.54 million or 107% of the amended budget.
o General Fund revenues totaled $67.47 million, $2.05 million more than the amended budget. Most General Fund revenue categories met and/or exceeded projected budgets for the year. Licenses/Permit revenues and Service Charges revenue exceeded projections for combined $4,586,211 million.
o Final FY2023/24 expenditures for all City funds totaled $227.98 million, or 59% of the amended budget. All fund categories completed the year with expenditures within the amended budget.
o The General Fund ended the year with $73.43 million in expenses, which is $3.34 million less than the amended budget. However, $2.96 million was carried forward for use in FY2024/25. When these carried forward amounts are accounted for, the General Fund expenditures would actually have a savings of $380,000. o Capital Improvement expenditures totaled $52.49 million, which underspent the budget by $116.81 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 FY2024/25.
Highlights of the fiscal year 2024/25 results (Attachment B) include the following:
o Revenues for all funds through September 30th (first quarter of fiscal year 2024/25) are $27.34 million, or 14% of the amended budget.
o General Fund revenues are $4.09 million or 6% of the amended budget. The majority of the City's major tax revenues are not received until later in the fiscal year, so the low percentage of revenues received is very typical and expected each year. o Through the first quarter of FY2024/25, expenditures for all funds totaled $39.7 million, or 13% of the amended budget. The General Fund expenditures totaled $12.76 million, or 17% of the amended budget.
o At the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2024/25, all departments appear to be tracking closely to budget.
Although the revenue results for FY2023/24 discussed in the attachments to this report were better than projected, City expenditures are also trending on the higher side due to lingering inflationary impacts. As a result any excess revenues are being offset by these additional expenditures. The adopted budget for FY2024/25 anticipated a $3.13 million deficit in the General Fund, with a growing structural deficit throughout the term of the five-year forecast. This quarterly report does not provide updated projections for the anticipated General Fund outcomes for FY2024/25. So far, preliminary revenue performance and indications for year-end outcomes present cause for continued concern, particularly as it pertains to the City's sales tax revenues.
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 you about the development of the FY2025/26 budget. This mid-year update generally occurs in late February or early March each year.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive an informational report representing the FY2024/25 First Quarter Budget Update.

ALL FUNDS REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Table 1 – All Funds Revenues
• All Funds revenues through fiscal year-end FY2023/24 were $212.54 million or 107% of the amended budget.
• General Fund revenues totaled $67.47 million, $2.05 million more than the amended budget.
Table 4 provides more detail regarding General Fund revenues.
• Special Revenue funds generated $28.73 million or 132% of the amended budget. Revenue captured in this category is mostly based on grant reimbursements and follows project expenses throughout the fiscal year. Additionally, the City consolidates its investments and related earnings in one fund throughout the year. The investment income earned during the year was $7.36 million and has not yet been allocated to all other City funds. Interest allocation will happen as staff closes-out the 2023/24 fiscal year.
• Development/Capital funds generated $22.7 million or $5.9 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. Additionally, the General Fund completed a one-time transfer of $4.1 million to the General Capital Fund to help fund construction of the new Aquatic Facility , and this transfer of revenue was not included in the original budget.

• Spring Lake funds generated $8.83 million or 96% of the amended budget due to slightly less than expected collection of Spring Lake Infrastructure Fees.
• Enterprise Funds collected $54.13 million or 99% of the amended budget. Revenues from user fees in both the Water and Sewer funds were below budget, due in large part to the very rainy weather throughout the winter of 2023 and early 2024, which reduced demand on water use.
• Internal Service fund revenues were $21.63 million or 92% of the amended budget.
• Successor Agency revenues currently show $0 or 0% 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.
Revenues were not received in FY2023/24 as there were sufficient reserves to make annual debt service payments. The City works with the State on an annual basis to make this determination.
• Agency funds are primarily pass-through special assessment funds. The revenues in these funds totaled $7.5 million or $1.87 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 early pre-payments of bonds by some property owners within Spring Lake.

expenditures within the amended budget.
• The General Fund ended the year with $73.43 million in expenses, which is $3.34 million less than the amended budget. The savings are largely due to $3.8 million in contract services across all departments of which departments with Non-Departmental contributing $1.23 million in savings due to American Rescue Plan projects not being fully carried out in FY2023/24.
Of the $3.34 million in savings across all departments, $2.96 million was re-appropriated to FY2023/24 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 FY2023/24, General Fund expenditures savings would be $380,000. General Fund expenditures are discussed in more detail in Table 5.
• Enterprise Funds expenditures totaled $48.42 million, or 48% of the amended budget.
Enterprise funds were underspent primarily because of $38.77 million in savings from Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) that did not incur expenses compared to their approved budget (refer to the CIP Chart FY2023/24 for a listing of some these projects sorted by fund type). These budgets will carryforward into FY2024/25 for continued work on the projects.
Another $9.59 million in savings is due to pending depreciation of capital assets. These assets will be depreciated this calendar with as we continue to close out the 2023/24 fiscal year.
• Special Revenue fund expenditures totaled $23.08 million or 74% 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: $1.67 million in savings from Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) that did not incur expenses compared to their approved budget (refer to the CIP Chart FY2023/24 for a listing of some these projects sorted by fund type); $702,000 in savings for affordable state grant housing loans; and $900,000 in savings for the 334 Freeman Garden Court project. Both the housing grants and the 334 Freeman Garden Court project will carry-forward to FY2024/25.
• Development/Capital funds resulted in $40.29 million or 37% of the amended budget.
Development/Capital funds were underspent largely due to the $67.39 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 FY2023/24 for a listing of some these projects sorted by fund type). Also, the $967,936 savings in Measure F funds that were planned to contribute to the Parks debt service, was not needed. Only $206,160 was transferred as the Parks Development Impact Fee fund received nearly enough revenue to pay on debt service.
Additional allocations to parks projects will be reviewed with the spending plan.
• Successor Agency ended the fiscal year with $767,458 thousand dollars in expenses or 72% 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. Most unspent funds were due to $242,000 budgeted for USA Help Loan and savings of $246,432 from RDA 2018 Tax Allocation Refund Bond. With the unspent funds, both Heritage Oaks and Casa-Del Sol Cal HFA Loans overspent creating an overall savings of $302,354.
• Spring Lake funds ended the fiscal year with $12.12 million in expenses or 41% of the amended budget. Spring Lake funds were underspent largely due to $8.48 million in Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) expenses that were not incurred compared to their approved budget (refer to the CIP Chart FY2023/24 for a listing of some these projects sorted by fund type); and $9.05 million in planned reimbursements to developers for infrastructure constructed in Spring Lake that were not completed or approved by the end of the year.
• Agency Funds reflect expenditures of $6.67 million or 97% of the amended budget. Agency expenses are related to debt service payments for special districts.
*All CIP unspent budget will carry-forward to FY2024/25 and be available for planned projects.

• Non-Departmental expenditures totaled $53.44 million or 81% 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 and American Rescue Plan Act projects.

• Administrative Services achieved savings of $75,048 compared to the amended budget. The savings were almost entirely attributed to the contract services, specifically in Finance due to savings in professional contract services.
• Community Development achieved savings of $498,789. Savings were mostly in personnel due to position vacancies as well as in the supplies/services categories specifically within department specific supplies as well as contract services.
• Community Service achieved savings of $526,312 compared to the amended budget. Most of the savings are due to reduced landscape irrigation resulting in $268,424 in savings as well as $187,639 in contract services.
• Police ended the fiscal year with $23.43 million in expenses, which was $945,038 less than the amended budget. Savings mostly came from personnel in the amount of $892,827 due to position vacancies and $159,465 in contract services.
• Fire finished FY23/24 with $14.33 million in expenditures, which came in under their budget by $196,081. Fire exceeded budget in some categories but then was offset mainly due to $104,340 savings in department specific supplies and $361,182 in contract services.
• Library ended the fiscal year with $1.92 million in expenses, exceeding their amended budget by $14,528. Personnel costs surpassed budget by $165,903 but then was mostly offset by $68,267 in contract services savings as well as $103,994 from funds allocated to the Library Building Security project (which were carried over from FY22/23).
• Public Works ended the fiscal year with $773,925 in expenses with minor difference from the amended budget, a savings of $18,404 due to position vacancies throughout the year.
• Non-Departmental expenditures ended the fiscal year with $13.85 million in expenses or $1.09 million less than the amended budget. This category includes costs for projects approved through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) spending plan, and at the end of the year, $1.25 million remained unspent and was carried over for re-appropriation in FY2023/24.
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 (or not) at the departmental level; (2) the City exceeded its non-department transfer budget by $78,183 due to better than anticipated Measures F and R sales tax revenue. This revenue is received into the General Fund and then transferred as an expense to these other funds.

ALL FUNDS REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Table 1 – All Funds Revenues
• All Funds revenues through the first quarter of fiscal year 2024/25 are $27.34 million, or 14% of the amended budget.
• General Fund revenues are $4.09 million or 6% 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 $1.56 million or 9% of the amended budget through September 30, 2024. 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.

• General Fund expenditures totaled $12.76 million, or 17% of the amended budget.
• Enterprise funds expenditures are $6.01 million or 10% of the amended budget after three months of activity. This low percentage is due primarily to $9.6 million in budgeted depreciation that is not recorded until the end of the fiscal year, $14.91 million in debt service expenditures that generally occur in mid-fiscal year, and $6.05 million in capital project expenses that are yet to be incurred due to timing and project schedules (see CIP Chart FY2024-25 Quarter 1).
• Special Revenue funds are at $3.9 million or 14% of the amended budget. Of the amended budget, $2.3 million for land acquisition at W. Main Street and Ashely Ave for future affordable housing has been largely unspent; $1.15 million in Project Homekey grant funds for construction of homes at the East Beamer Way campus remain unspent; $555,250 in funds available for First Time Homebuyer loans remain unspent, and $3.12 million in expenditures for capital projects are remaining (see CIP Chart FY2024-25 Quarter 1).
• Development/Capital funds are at $5.72 million or 6% 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 $78.28 million in planned project expenses that have yet to be incurred (see CIP Chart FY2024-25 Quarter 1).
• Spring Lake funds are at $8,266 or essentially 0% 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 $766,933 or 49% of the amended budget with other scheduled debt payments due later in the year.
• Agency funds reflect expenditures totaling $1.15 million or 17% 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 2024/25, most 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.
• Community Development is at 12% of the amended budget after the first quarter in FY2024/25 due to some internal service charges that have yet to be recorded for the fiscal year.
• Public Works is also at 12% of the amended budget after the first quarter in FY2024/25 due.
This low percentage is due mostly to $10.74 million in budgeted depreciation that is not recorded until the end of the fiscal year.
• Capital Improvements have long-term, multi-year budgets. There is significant budget unspent from FY2023/24 that carried-over to FY2024/245. Due to only three (3) months of activity, YTD expenditures appear to be trending low. Please refer to CIP Chart FY2024/25 Quarter 1 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.
