last fiscal year, a 4.4% overall increase.

The only negative revenue category is the use of money and property which stands at ($406,753). This decrease is due to the decrease in the PARS Sec 115 pension account which is due to overall decline in the market for equity and fixed income securities for fiscal year 2022. See NOTE 2 for more information.

Approximately 92% of the Town’s revenues are generated from four major sources, Charges for Services, Property Taxes and Assessments, Operating and Capital Grants and Contributions, and Sales and use tax.

The following discusses variances in these key revenues from the prior fiscal year:

1. Charges for Services – Charges for services has declined by a total of $626,589 or 19.8% from last year.

Governmental activities contributed $705,077 to this decrease. Building and Planning fees have decreased $164,376 (building permits and ASRB review). There were decreases in public works fees of $540,856, which includes road impact fees and engineering and plan checks (building related fees). No significant changes in the Town’s Fee Schedule have taken place since May 2013.

There is a $6,942 increase in recreation fees which included May Day Fun Run sponsorships this year and co-ed softball.

Business type activities (Sewer) accounted for $78,488 increase in charges for services. This increase results from the planned annual increase in sewer fees paid by residential and commercial properties that who are connected to sewer (See Page 17 and 18 for further details about the sewer fees).

2. Property Taxes and Assessments – The property taxes and assessments category for fiscal year 2022 includes not only Property Tax – secured, unsecured, SB 813, and prior years, but also the additional categories of Homeowner Property Tax Relief (HOPTR), and Property Tax in-lieu.

Fiscal year 2022 revenue shows an increase of 10.3% or $589,177 due to increased property taxes of $236,880 in secured property tax and $288,053 of in Vehicle License Fees from the state from prior years.

The library revenue also increased $35,351 which is requested annually from the Town’s share of the San Mateo County Library JPA funds (the Library JPA).

3. Grants and Contributions – Operating and Capital – The Grants and Contributions category for fiscal year 2022 increased a total of $1,399,162 from last fiscal year.

Operating grants increased $772,398. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 received from the Federal government through the State of California contributed $652,835. These funds are advanced through the state to local governments and expenses (specific Town infrastructure projects) are reported against the advances as expended. Measure A revenue (sales tax Measure from County) has increased $64,160 and the Town received $35,233 from the state in Housing Department and CalRecycle grants.

Capital (one time) grants increased $626,764. The State Highway Bridge Program (HBP) Old La Honda Bridge Capital grant of $796,722 and Portola Road Bridge of $40,413 account for most of the increase, the expenses for these grants were in last fiscal year and grants receipted and received in fiscal year 2022.

4. Sales and use tax – Sales tax experienced a $175,152 or 28% increase in fiscal year 2022 due to an increase in sales tax revenues from the State of California.

Expenses
Governmental and business-type activities expenses of the Town totaled $13,688,736 (see table on Page 14) for the year, a 11.8% or $1,445,055 increase from last fiscal year. Governmental activities expenses totaled $13,269,057 or 97% of total expenses. Governmental activities expenses also include depreciation expense, all capital expense that is not depreciated (such as roads capital projects), and compensated absences. In addition, Governmental activities expenses include OPEB and pension plan expenses as calculated by the CalPERS actuarial report and the GASB 75 OPEB actuarial report (NOTE 11). Each of the departments expense highlights follow in the order it appears on Page 14 on the ‘Changes in Net Position’ table.

Town Council expenses increased $8,100 or 11% due to Townwide elections being held this year and no elections last fiscal year.

The Administration and Finance Department expenses increased by $190,253 or 11% from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2022. This is mostly due to an additional new administrative staff position. Pension, OPEB, and compensated absences costs remain about the same and are reported in the Administration and Finance Department expenses and not included in expenses of other departments.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, CONTINUED
Planning, Building and Grounds, Town-wide Overhead, Trails and Stables, Barkley Fields, Library Services, and Recreation and Open Space all increased less than 10% or $50,000.

Safety Services costs represented 25% or $3,421,815 of total governmental activities expenses. There was a $152,723 or 4.7% increase from last year.

Most of the increase is due to a $234,987 increase in contractual police services, due to contractual increase for services from San Mateo County Sheriff Services which began in fiscal year 2019. This contract increase includes continuation of the current level of basic services, plus the enhancement of one additional motorcycle deputy on duty during the day shift. There was a $63,298 decrease in professional services due to a decrease in the Town’s Defensible Space Matching Program.

Public Works costs amounted to $5,266,227 or 38% of total governmental expenses, public works costs increased $904,013 or 21% from fiscal year 2021. Most operations expenses remained the same.

The largest single capital asset (depreciable) expense this year in Public Works is the 2022 purchase of a new dump truck which cost $106,018.

One of the main components of the Public Works Department is capital project expenses (most are not capital assets, therefore are not depreciated). Capital projects are usually one-time expenses and included in the capital section of the budget. Capital projects for fiscal year 2022 increased $1,048,221 or 56%. The following are capital project expenses for this year and the last two years:

Capital projects are funded through transfers in of a variety of budgeted funds. For fiscal year 2022 the following funds were used to fund the capital projects listed above:

General Fund $ 2,341,921
Measure A 49,202
Measure W 90,746
Gas Tax (SB1) 104,000
Barkley Fund 73,442
Road Impact Fund 266,353
Total $ 2,925,664
Business type activities (the Town’s small sewer system) had overall revenues that were $78,564 or 13% higher than last fiscal year. The main reason for the increase is because of an overall increase in sewer fees of $59,395 and four new sewer connection fees (two for Redwood Creek and two for the Town Center Sewer) of $108,154.

Expenses for the sewer system were $52,600 or 14% higher than last fiscal year. This fiscal year the contractual sewer maintenance was $18,478 higher and there was a Town Center Sewer assessment performed this year which cost $11,320. Salaries and benefits allocated to the sewer are also $20,000 higher.

Governmental Activities
The cost of all governmental activities this year (exclusive of business/sewer activities) is $13,269,057.

Of this amount (as shown in the Statement of Activities on Page 28) the amount that taxpayers ultimately financed for governmental activities was $9,011,541. Those who directly benefited from town programs paid $1,855,894 (charges for service). Other governments and organizations subsidized certain programs with grants and contributions in the amount of $1,550,352 for operations and $851,270 for capital. The Town paid the remaining "public benefit" portion of government activities with $6,304,366 in property taxes, $2,301,525 in other general revenues, and ($404,045) in the use of money and property due to the decline in the value of the PARS investment mentioned on Page 10).

Referring to the Changes in Net Position table (Page 14), total resources available during the year to finance governmental operations were $12,456,654. This consisted of $4,257,516 (charges for services and grants) in program revenues and $8,199,138 in general revenues.

Total governmental activities operating expenses during the year is $13,269,057. Net position beginning balance on July 1, 2021, was $23,711,215. This decreased by $753,903 to an ending balance net position of $22,957,312 on June 30, 2022. This net position decrease is primarily due to a 12% increase in expenses offset in part by 4% increase in revenue of $481,373.

The specific decreases in governmental activities revenue are charges for services of $705,077 (due to less building permit fees this fiscal year) and use of money and property revenues of $976,317 due to a decrease in the PARS pension investment account (See NOTE 2 for more details) These decreases in revenue were offset by an increase in operating grants of $772,398 (due to the federal government ARPA grant), Capital grants of $626,764 (Old La Honda Road Bridge HBP grant), and Property taxes of $589,177.

The following table shows the cost of each of the Town’s major programs and the net cost of the programs.

Net cost is the total cost less fees and other direct revenue generated by the activities. The net cost reflects the financial burden that was placed on the Town’s taxpayers by each of the programs. The total cost of services and the net cost of services for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, are as follows:

Change in Net Position $ 210,930 $ 186,966 $ 23,964 12.8% Business-type activities total revenue for fiscal year 2022 is $689,109. Revenues for this year exceeded expenses by $210,930. These revenues are received from two sources, Charges for Sewer Services $686,401 and LAIF Investment Earnings $2,708. 99.6% of the funding received for Sewer business services is derived through charges for this service.

Charges for sewer services were up 12.9% or $78,564. This increase is largely due to an overall increase of 8% in residential and commercial sewer fees (a sewer utility bill paid by residents and business’ through their property tax bill), in fiscal year 2022. There are two new connections to the Town Center Sewer and two to the Redwood Creek Sewer, which resulted in a $79,654 and $28,500 connection fees respectively.

There was one new connection last fiscal year. LAIF interest rates were about the same this year as last year.

A portion of the sewer expenses and revenues represents a December 2016 Town Center Sewer fund loan of $775,000 from the General Fund. This loan, approved by Town Council, is at a rate of 2.5% interest and a term of 9 years and was used to replace the 30-year-old sewer pump. In June 2022 the fifth payment of $100,000 was paid back to the general fund from the Town Center Sewer pump fund and a $351,209 principal balance remains.

Sewer expenses were $52,600 higher in fiscal year 2022. Expenses are mainly maintenance, transportation and treatment contracts that cover operations of the sewer. These operating expenses have stayed about the same as last fiscal year. The expenses that contributed to the increase include an increase in the Town Sewer Utility contractual sewer system maintenance of $18,478, a sewer condition assessment costing $11,320 and approximately $20,000 increased salaries and benefits. Depreciation expenses were the same year to year.

Transfers represent overhead payments to the General Fund for sewer administration expenses.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS
The Town of Woodside uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The fund financial statements focus on individual parts of the Town government, reporting the Town’s operations in more detail than the government-wide financial statements, beginning on Page 32.

The Town’s governmental funds provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spending resources. At the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Town’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $11,088,941 (Page 33). This is a decrease of $592,336, or 5%, from the balance ending fiscal year 2021 of $11,681,277. In the previous fiscal year there was an 8% increase. The 5% decrease this fiscal year results primarily from a decrease in General Fund revenues from charges for service and use of money and property categories of revenue and increased department expenses, primarily from capital outlay.
♦ The 7% increase of General Fund Taxes and Assessments of $552,687 this fiscal year is mostly due to a continued overall increase in property taxes of $236,880 from San Mateo County and $288,053 for prior years VLF (Vehicle License Fees) from the State of California.

The two sources of funding for VLF are non-basic aid school districts’ ERAF (Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund) monies and property tax revenues. ERAF occurs when local property taxes are sufficient to support local schools without major State of California aid, a condition that occurs in counties with high property values and relatively few school children. The State makes these districts whole for any monies that are used to pay the State’s VLF obligation. The State is lagging in these VLF payments to San Mateo County, and this 2022 payment to the Town represents prior years VLF revenues.

The remaining balance sheet assets are about the same as last fiscal year.

As discussed earlier (Page 10), the Use of Money and Property revenue category decreased $909,269, due to decline in market value in the PARS pension account in fiscal year 2022 of $331,344 compared with an increase of $558,087 in fiscal year 2021.

The decrease in the PARS pension account also resulted in a $519,432 or 13%, decrease in Restricted Cash and Investments
Capital Outlay department expenditures increased $887,962, or 39%, due to increased expenses in capital projects discussed in part on page 13 and 20.
♦ The Library Operations Fund balance stayed about the same at ($1,752). The Library Fund supports the Town’s share of the operation and maintenance of the library facility. The Town is a party to the JPA between cities within San Mateo County and the JPA holds funds in trust for Woodside. For fiscal year 2022, $865,123 was added to the JPA fund through property taxes. This left the JPA Woodside balance at $4,447,237 as of June 30, 2022.
♦ The Measure A Fund accounts for the Town’s share of a county-wide half-cent sales tax that is dedicated to transportation related projects. There was a slight increase in Measure A fund balance this fiscal year of $20,199. This fund is used to maintain and fund capital road projects.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS, CONTINUED ♦ The Capital Projects Fund was a new major fund in fiscal year 2016, created to update infrastructure and spend down the General Fund balance. A 5-year (fiscal year 2022-2026) $8,670,896 capital improvement program budget was approved by Town Council in fiscal year 2021 of which $3,630,896 was appropriated for fiscal year 2022 of which $3 million was spent. This fund reflects all the expenses for capital projects approved in the budget. Transfers in (made on a quarterly basis) from other Town funds (General, Measure A, Road Impact Fee, Gas Tax, Sewer, and grants), also appropriated through the budget, reduce these capital expenses, so that the fund is intended to be close to zero at year end.

CAPITAL ASSETS
The capital assets of the Town are those assets which are used in the performance of the Town’s functions.

On June 30, 2022, net capital assets of the governmental activities totaled $16,756,337. Depreciation on capital assets is recognized in the government-wide financial statements. The following table shows the Town’s Capital Assets net of depreciation:

Capital Asset Activity
New governmental capital asset expense activity included: $106,018 for a new 2021 Ram 5500 dump truck, the old 2008 Ford dump truck it replaced was sold for $11,380 at auction. No new capital assets were added for business (sewer) type activities. Additional information on the Town’s capital assets can be found in Note 4 on Page 70 of this report.

LONG TERM LIABILITIES
Governmental Activities total for long term liabilities decreased by 39% for a total of $2,268,841 (includes 10% of the total of compensated absences for both fiscal years). Additional information can be found in Note 6 (Page 71).

The largest decrease from last fiscal year is $1,739,832, or 42%, due to a decrease in net pension liability.

For the most recent CalPERS actuary report ending June 30, 2021, CalPERS net pension liability decreased from $4,135,509 in fiscal year 2021 to $2,395,677 in fiscal year 2022. This is due to a 21% CalPERS return on investment in fiscal year 2021, which was unusually high. Expected annual return on investments for CalPERS is 7%. See Note 10 starting on Page 76. $2,292,218 represents the governmental-type portion of the liability and $103,459 is the business-type portion.

Item B Page 33 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Long Term Liabilities, Continued
Compensated absences due at year end decreased a total of $46,892 or 9%, due to retirement of one long term employee. The total compensated absences liability is $478,743 of which $430,869 is a long-term liability and $47,874 is a short-term liability. This entire liability is in governmental-type (no businesstype).

There was a decrease of $482,117 due to an increase in Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) liabilities..

The amount is calculated by using the Actuarially determined OPEB Liability of $1,875,713, net of market value of assets (Town of Woodside’s PARS OPEB account) of $1,252,067, which is $623,646 ($482,117 less than fiscal year 2021). (See NOTE 11 Page 84 first chart). The entire long-term liability is in governmental-type (no business-type).

NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETED APPROPRIATIONS, CONTINUED

1. General Fund – Overall there is a $436,275 or 4.5% increase in the General Fund budget.

Almost all the departments have increased spending. The highlights include decreased spending of $79,370 in Town Council due to funding for general elections in fiscal year 2022 and no elections in fiscal year 2021; Safety Services $234,732 increase based on annual San Mateo County Sherriff contract increase and the addition of automated license plate readers; Administration and Finance $190,380 mostly due to a full fiscal year of a new administrative staff member hired in fiscal year 2022 and contractual services of a the preparation of a technology master plan.

Decreased spending of $17,430 in Trails due to more capital trails projects in fiscal year 2022 than in fiscal year 2023.

Increased spending in Building and Grounds of $25,485 due to the restoration of Kite Hill and Village Hill as natural preserve.

Town-wide Overhead increase of $46,000 includes upgrades or replacement of the Town’s permit management system.

Those departments that stayed about the same are Planning, Barkley Fields, Public Works, and Recreation.

2. Library Services – Budget from year to year remained about the same.

3. Measure A and W– Budget increased because revenue from these sales taxes increased. Expenses include contributions to the capital projects of Glens Pathway and other bike and pedestrian safety.

4. Traffic Safety, Road Impact Fees, and Gas Tax – Budget from year to year increased, due to increasing gas tax and road impact fees which are directly related to increases in capital road projects.

5. Supplemental Law Enforcement - Budget from year to year remained about the same.

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position on page 27 summarizes the financial position of the Town indicating total assets and liabilities, with the net difference being the net position or condition as of June 30, 2022, the end of the fiscal year. This information is summarized between the Town’s Governmental Activities, Business-Type Activities and the Town in total.

The Statement of Activities on page 28, summarizes Town expenses, Program revenues and General Revenues during the twelve-month for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 and the resulting change in the net position. The Towns expenses are listed by major program and activity (i.e. Government vs.

Business-type). Program revenues—that is, revenues which are generated directly by these programs—are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of the governmental program. The Town’s general revenues are then listed in the Governmental Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.

The Town’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special Revenue Funds, and Capital Projects Funds. Activities of the General Fund include public works and improvements, safety and library, planning and zoning and building inspections and general administration among other things. Business-type activities include enterprise activities including three sewer funds.

The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are prepared on the same basis as is used by most businesses, which means they include the Town’s assets and liabilities, as well as all its revenues and expenses. This is known as the full accrual basis—the effect of all the Town’s transactions is taken into account, regardless of whether or when cash changes hands, but all material internal transactions between Town funds have been eliminated.

These financial statements, along with the fund financial statements and footnotes, are called Basic Financial Statements.

Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds $ (592,336) Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures while governmental activities report depreciation expense to allocate those expenditures over the life of the assets:

Capital outlay and other capitalized expenditures $ 299,474 Depreciation expense (240,316) 59,158
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds:

Change in compensated absences (total) 46,892
Change in net pension liability (350,740)
Change in net OPEB liability 83,123 (220,725)
Change in net position of governmental activities $ (753,903) The accompanying notes are an integral part of these basic financial statements.

This schedule reconciles the Net Change in Fund Balances reported on the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance, which measures only changes in current assets and current liabilities on the modified accrual basis, with the Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities reported in the Statement of Activities, which is prepared on the full accrual basis.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Town of Woodside (Town) was incorporated on November 16, 1956, under the laws and regulations of the State of California (State). The Town operates under a Town Council/Manager form of government and provides the following services: public works, planning and zoning, building regulation, general administrative services, and public safety (provided by San Mateo County Sheriff).

The financial statements of the Town have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial reporting. On June 15, 1987, GASB issued a codification of the existing Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards which, along with subsequent GASB pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations), constitutes GAAP for governmental units. The Town applies all GASB pronouncements to its activities.

In addition, the Town applies all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins (ARB) issued after November 30, 1989, unless they conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. The more significant of these accounting policies are described below and, where appropriate, subsequent pronouncements will be referenced.

Financial Reporting Entity
The Town operates as a self-governing local government unit within the State. It has limited authority to levy taxes and has the authority to determine user fees for the services that it provides. The Town's main funding sources include property taxes, other intergovernmental revenue from state and federal sources, user fees, and sales taxes.

The financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government, the Town, (b) organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the primary government is not accountable, but for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Financial accountability is defined as the appointment of a voting majority of the component unit's board, and either (a) the Town has the ability to impose its will on the organization, or (b) there is a potential for the organization to provide a financial benefit to or impose a financial burden on the Town.

There are no component units of the Town that meet the criteria for discrete presentation.

Government-Wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and statement of activities display information about the reporting government as a whole. They include all funds of the reporting entity except for fiduciary funds. The statements distinguish between governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange revenues.

Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions restricted to the operating or capital requirements of a specific function or segment.

All taxes and internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than program revenues.

Fund Financial Statements
Fund financial statements of the reporting entity are organized into funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-- balancing accounts, which constitute its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures/expenses. Funds are organized into three major categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. An emphasis is placed on major funds within the governmental and proprietary categories. A fund is considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the Town or meets the following criteria:
a. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental fund are at least ten percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and, b. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund are at least five percent of the corresponding total for all governmental funds combined.

The Town reports the following major funds:
• General Fund
• Library Operations Special Revenue Fund
• Measure A Special Revenue Fund
• Capital Projects Fund
Descriptions of these funds are included on the divider page preceding the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Basis of Presentation, Continued
The funds of the financial reporting entity are described below:

Governmental Funds
General Fund
The General Fund is used to account for resources traditionally associated with the Town which are not required legally or by sound financial management to be accounted for in another fund. From this fund are paid the Town's general operating expenditures, the fixed charges, and the capital costs that are not paid through other funds.

Special Revenue Funds
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for specific revenues that are legally or otherwise restricted, or committed to expenditures for particular purposes.

Capital Projects Fund
The Capital Projects Fund accounts for multi-year capital improvement projects including bridges, road repair/replacement and trail and pedestrian improvements.

Proprietary Funds
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises. Costs are financed or recovered primarily through user charges.

Fiduciary Funds
Custodial Funds
Custodial Funds account for assets held by the Town in a purely custodial capacity. Since custodial funds are custodial in nature, they do not involve the measurement of results of operations and are not presented in the government-wide financial statements. The town has only one custodial fund, which accounts for the payment of principal, interest, and administrative costs associated with the 1999 issuance of limited obligation improvement bonds for the construction of parking assessment district in Town Center, supported by special assessments against properties within the district.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Basis of Presentation, Continued
Measurement Focus
Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recorded within the various financial statements.

On the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, governmental and business-type activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of net income, financial position, and cash flows. All assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported.

Fund equity is classified as Net Position, which serves as an indicator of financial position.

In the fund financial statements, the "current financial resources" measurement focus is used for governmental funds. Only current financial assets and liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their operating statements present sources and uses of available spendable financial resources during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their measure of available spendable financial resources at the end of the period.

The enterprise funds utilize an "economic resources" measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of net income, financial position, and cash flows. Enterprise fund equity is classified as net position.

Custodial funds are not involved in the measurement of results of operations; therefore, measurement focus is not applicable to them.

Basis of Accounting
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, governmental and businesstype activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchangelike transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place.

Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal year.

All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government. Expenditures (including capital outlay) are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred.

The enterprise funds and custodial funds utilize the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, or economic asset used. Operating revenues in the fund are those revenues that are generated from the primary operations of the fund. All other revenues are reported as non-operating revenues. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as non-operating expenses.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Assets, Liabilities, and Equity
Cash Deposits and Investments
The Town's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short- term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Town categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles.

The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 inputs are inputs – other than quoted prices included within level 1 – that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

Receivables
In the government-wide statements, receivables consist of all revenues earned at year-end and not yet received. Major receivable balances for the governmental activities include property taxes, sales and use taxes, intergovernmental subventions, interest earnings, and expense reimbursements.

In the fund financial statements, material receivables in governmental funds include revenue accruals such as property tax, sales tax, and intergovernmental subventions since they are usually both measurable and available. Non-exchange transactions collectible but not available, such as property tax, are deferred inflows in the fund financial statements in accordance with the modified accrual basis, but not deferred inflows in the government-wide financial statements in accordance with the accrual basis.

Interest and investment earnings are recorded when earned only if paid within 60 days since they would be considered both measurable and available. The Town's experience is that all accounts receivables are collectible; therefore, an allowance for doubtful accounts is unnecessary.

Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. In the governmental fund financial statements, prepaid items are offset with a nonspendable fund balance for long-term assets to indicate they do not constitute current resources available for appropriation.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Capital Assets
The Town's assets are capitalized at historical cost or estimated historical cost, if actual is unavailable, except for donated Capital Assets which are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation.

Policy has set the capitalization threshold for reporting at $5,000 for non-infrastructure capital assets and $25,000 for infrastructure capital assets.

Government-Wide Statements
Public domain (infrastructure) capital assets include roads, bridges, streets, drainage systems, and pumps.

The accounting treatment of property, plant and equipment (capital assets) depends on whether the assets are used in governmental fund operations or proprietary fund operations and whether they are reported in the government-wide or fund financial statements.

Prior to July 1, 2003, governmental funds' infrastructure assets were not capitalized. Since then, these assets have been valued at estimated historical cost.

Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the Statement of Activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Position. Depreciation is provided over the assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation.

The range of estimated useful lives by type of asset is as follows:

Buildings 50 years
Building improvements 10-20 years
Machinery and equipment 5-20 years
Sewer Pump & Collection Systems 30 years
Leases
As clarified by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, a lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset (the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment. The Town recognizes lease receivables or liabilities with an initial, individual value of $50,000 or more, based on the future lease payments remaining at the start of the lease.

The Town has no leases subject to GASB#87 for the fiscal year 2022.

Fund Financial Statements
In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are accounted for as capital outlay expenditures of the governmental fund upon acquisition. Capital assets used in proprietary fund operations are accounted for the same way as in government-wide statements.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Compensated Absences
Employees accrue personal leave, holiday, administrative leave, and compensatory time off benefits. Town employees have vested interests in the amount of accrued time off and are paid on termination. All personal leave pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary financial statements. A liability for the entire amount is reported in the governmental activities. The general fund is typically used to liquidate compensated absences.

In order to control this future liability, starting in 2013, compensatory time off, administrative leave, and floating holidays must be used by staff during the calendar year in which they are earned. At year-end, employees will be paid for any comp time, administrative leave, or floating holidays earned, but not used during the year. No comp time, administrative leave, or floating holidays earned may be carried into a new calendar year. Conversely, PTO (paid time off) rolls from one calendar year to the next until it is used or paid out to staff who leave the service of the Town of Woodside.

Unearned Revenues
Unearned revenues in governmental funds arise when potential revenue does not meet both the "measurable" and "available" criteria for recognition in the current period. Unearned revenues in enterprise funds and the statement of net position arise when resources are received by the Town before it has legal claim to them, (i.e., when grant monies are received prior to the incurrence of qualifying expenses).

Deferred outflows/inflows of resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Town has one item reported as a deferred outflow of resources. The item is a deferred charge on pension plan contributions in the government-wide statement of net position.

In addition to liabilities, the statement of position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Town has one item reported as a deferred inflow of resources. The item is the net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments and is reported in the government-wide statement of net position.

Refer to Notes 10 and 11 for more information on pension and OPEB benefit plans.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Equity Classification
Government-Wide Statements
Equity is classified as net position and is displayed in three components:
a. Net investment in capital assets – consists of capital assets, including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
b. Restricted net position – consists of net position with constraints placed on the use by external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or by laws or regulations of other governments or law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. c. Unrestricted net position – all other net position that do not meet the definition of "restricted" or "net investment in capital assets."
Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance. Fund balance is classified as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned. Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the government-wide statements. The classifications for governmental funds are defined as follows for the Town:

Nonspendable Fund Balance –
• Assets that will never convert to cash (prepaid items, inventory). • Assets that will not convert to cash soon enough to affect the current period (long-term notes or loans receivable).
• Resources that must be maintained intact pursuant to legal or contractual requirements (the principal of an endowment).

Restricted Fund Balance –
• Resources that are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions imposed by parties altogether outside the government (creditors, grantors, contributors and other governments). • Resources that are subject to limitations imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation (e.g., Gas Tax).

Committed Fund Balance –
• Self-imposed limitations set in place prior to the end of the period (encumbrances, economic contingencies and uncertainties).
• Limitation at the highest level of decision-making (Council) that requires formal action at the same level to remove.
• Council Resolution is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment.

For the year ended June 30, 2022

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Assigned Fund Balance –
• Amounts in excess of nonspendable, restricted and committed fund balance in funds other than the general fund automatically are reported as assigned fund balance. • The Town Council delegates the authority to the Town Manager to assign fund balance amounts to specific purposes when such purposes are enacted by the Town Council.

Unassigned Fund Balance –
• Residual net resources.
• Total fund balance in the general fund in excess of nonspendable, restricted, committed and assigned fund balance (surplus).
• Excess of nonspendable, restricted, and committed fund balance over total fund balance (deficit).

Revenues, Expenditures, and Expenses
Property Tax
The County of San Mateo (County) is responsible for the collection and allocation of property taxes. Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the County up to 1% of the full cash value of taxable property, plus other increases approved by the voters and distributed in accordance with statutory formulas. The Town recognizes property taxes when the individual installments are due, provided they are collected within 60 days after year-end.

Secured property taxes are levied on or before the first day of September of each year. They become a lien on real property on March 1 preceding the fiscal year for which taxes are levied. These taxes are paid in two equal installments; the first is due November 1 and delinquent with penalties after December 10; the second is due February 1 and delinquent with penalties after April 10. Secured property taxes, which are delinquent and unpaid as of June 30, are declared to be tax defaulted and are subject to redemption penalties, cost, and interest when paid. If the delinquent taxes are not paid at the end of five years, the property is sold at public auction and the proceeds are used to pay the delinquent amounts due. Any excess is remitted, if claimed, to the taxpayer. Additional tax liens are created when there is a change in ownership of property or upon completion of new construction. Tax bills for these new tax liens are issued throughout the fiscal year and contain various payments and delinquent dates, but are generally due within one year. If the new tax liens are lower, the taxpayer receives a tax refund rather than a tax bill. Unsecured personal property taxes are not a lien against real property. These taxes are due on March 1, and become delinquent, if unpaid on August 31.

The Town participates in an alternative method of distribution of property tax levies and assessments known as the "Teeter Plan." The State Revenue and Taxation Code allow counties to distribute secured real property, assessment, and supplemental property taxes on an accrual basis resulting in full payment to cities each fiscal year. Any subsequent delinquent payments and penalties and interest during a fiscal year will revert to San Mateo County.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Interfund Transfers
Resources are reallocated between funds by reporting them as interfund transfers. For the purposes of the Statement of Activities, all interfund transfers between individual governmental funds have been eliminated.

Budgetary Accounting
The Town Council establishes budgets for the General Fund and all Special Revenue Funds. Budgetary control is legally maintained at the fund level for these funds. Department heads submit budget requests to the Town Manager. The Town Manager prepares an estimate of revenues and prepares recommendations for the next year's budget. The preliminary budget may or may not be amended by the Town Council and is adopted by resolution by the Town Council on or before June 30 in accordance with the municipal code.

The Town Council may amend the budget by motion during the fiscal year. Only the Council can authorize transfers between funds and approve inter-fund loans. The Town Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund without formal council action or approval.

Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level, which is the legal level of control.

Supplemental appropriations, which increase appropriations, may be made during the fiscal year. There were no material supplemental appropriations made for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Budget information is presented for the General and budgeted Special Revenue Funds in the fund financial statements. The budget information is presented on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Appropriations, except open project appropriations, and unexpended grant appropriations, lapse at the end of each fiscal year.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Authority's plan (OPEB Plan) and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:

Valuation Date June 30, 2020
Measurement Date June 30, 2021
Measurement Period July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021
Fiscal Year End June 30, 2022

2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS, Continued
Investment in California State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF):

The LAIF is a special fund of the California State Treasury through which local governments can pool investment funds. The Local Investment Advisory Board has oversight responsibility for the LAIF and the Board consists of five members as designated by State statute. LAIF is stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

As of June 30, 2022, the total fair value amount invested by all public agencies in LAIF is $234.5 million, with the Town's pro-rata share of the fair value investment amount is $9.1 million.

As of June 30, 2022, the reported LAIF portfolio investment allocation is as follows; 0.35% is in loans,

0.21% in corporate bonds, 4.91% in commercial paper, 1.90% in time deposits, 5.71% in certificates of deposits and bank notes, 18.90% in government agencies and 68.02% in U.S. Treasuries. At June 30, 2022, the average investment maturity for the LAIF is 311 days, with an average annual investment yield of

0.37%.

In fiscal year 2022, the Town earned $31,990 in income from its’ investments in the LAIF, with the quarterly annual yields ranging from a low of 0.24% in the first quarter to a high of 0.75% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The investment in the LAIF is subject to market risk due to interest rate changes, credit risks and overall market price fluctuations.

Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) Trust Pension Investment Fund:

In fiscal year 2020, the Town Council elected to participate in the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) pension rate stabilization program, an IRC Section 115 irrevocable trust to set aside money to prefund rising pension costs and address pension obligations. PARS is a non-governmental organization that offers retirement services designed for public agencies, primarily in the State of California.

Participating government agencies maintain oversight of investment management and control over the risk tolerance level of the portfolio. Assets held in the PARS Trust allow for greater investment flexibility and risk diversification compared to a government agencies general fund investments. The Town Council elected to invest money through the PARS Trust, in partnership with High Mark Capital Management in High Mark Capitals Capital Appreciation Portfolio Index Plus Fund. High Mark Capital Management, Inc., is an SEC registered investment adviser and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Union Bank and manages institutional separate account portfolios for a wide range of for-profit and nonprofit organizations. The High Mark Capital Appreciation Portfolio Index Plus Fund is a fund of diversified funds designed to balance return expectations with risk tolerance with a primary objective being growth of principal. Key features include sophisticated asset allocation and optimization (asset classes, style manager and security). The target asset allocations for this Fund are as follows:

Asset Allocation-Capital Appreciation Portfolio Index Plus Fund Strategic Range
Equity 65-85%
Fixed Income 10-30%
Cash 0-20%

2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS, Continued
At June 30, 2022, the Town’s $2.1 million PARS Investment (High Mark Capital Appreciation Index Plus) asset allocation was $1.5 million or 70.2% in equity securities (i.e. international and domestic large cap, mid and small cap companies), $427K or 19.9% in fixed income securities (i.e. intermediate and short term bonds), $50K or 2% in real assets and $170K or 7.92% in cash equivalents.

Equity and fixed income securities held in the PARS Investment account are measured at fair value (i.e. market value) at the end of each fiscal period with any net increase or decrease recorded in current period income along with any realized net gains or losses. During fiscal year 2022 the PARS Investment had a net decline in market value which resulted in a net loss of $331,344, or 12.78%. By comparison, in fiscal year 2021 the PARS Investment had a net increase in market value which resulted in a net gain of $558,087.

As of June 30. 2022 the fair value of the PARS Investment related to the pension plan was approximately $2.1 million, which represents approximately 90% of the Town's estimated unfunded pension liability as of June 30, 2022. Please note that the net pension liability is determined by an outside actuary and is based on various assumptions including projected plan asset earnings. These amounts could differ from actual earnings in future periods, which could impact the future pension liability for the Town.

The Town Council reserves the authority to review and amend this funding policy from time to time, in order to ensure that the funding policy continues to best suit the circumstances and objectives of the Town.

Interest Rate Risk and Market Risks
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Normally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates will be. The Town’s investments in the LAIF are heavily weighted toward interest rate financial instruments and to a much lesser extent the PARS Trust Pension Investment Fund, which are primarily invested in equities.

The Town’s investments in the LAIF and the PARS Trust Pension Fund are also subject to market risk.

Market risk is the risk of losses on financial investments caused by adverse price movements caused by changes in equity prices, credit risks, foreign exchange fluctuations or interest rate changes. Our investment in the PARS Trust Pension Investment (High Mark Capital Appreciation Index Plus) Fund is subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates, credit risk, foreign currency prices and overall market price fluctuations. Investments employing High Mark strategies are not insured by the FDIC or any Federal or State government agency and may lose value including loss of principal.

Information on the fair values of the Town’s investments at June 30, 2022, is provided by the following table:

2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS, Continued
Custodial credit risk (Deposits and Investments)
For deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Town's deposits may not be returned to it. The Town's Investment Policy addresses custodial credit risk, which follows the Government Code. At June 30, 2022, the Town had balances in the financial institutions of $696,962, with a book balance of cash in bank of $520,390. Of the balance in the financial institutions, the amount within $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance. The portion exceeding the federal depository insurance of $250,000 coverage was collateralized as required by State law (Government Code Section 53630), by the pledging financial institution with assets held in a common pool for the Town and other governmental agencies, but not in the name of the Town.

For investments, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the Town will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside counterparty. For the investments maintained by the Town, no security was uninsured or unregistered or held by a brokerage firm which is also the counterparty for the security. Investments were held by the custodial agent and were insured up to specified limits by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SPIC) and supplemental private insurance up to a limit of $150 million.

Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liability was determined by rolling forward the total pension liability determined in the June 30, 2020, actuarial accounting valuation to June 30, 2021. The June 30, 2020, total pension liability was based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the Plan was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate for the Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members, Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on investments was applied to all period of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and longterm market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical and forecasted information for all the funds' asset classes expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10-years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set to equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.

The table below reflects the expected real rates of return by asset class by CalPERS.

Due to the interpretation of GASB 68 for the treatment of the secondary trust other than CERBT when Town has pension managed by CalPERS, the PARS trust balance is shown as restricted cash in General Fund, the contributing Fund.

11. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
Plan Description. The Town of Woodside Retiree Healthcare Plan (Plan) is an agent multiple employers defined benefit healthcare plan administered by the Town. The Plan provides access to lifetime healthcare benefits to eligible retirees and their dependents. The Town provides retiree medical benefits through the California Public Employees' Retirement System healthcare program (PEMHCA). For eligible retirees and actives, the Town pays full employee premiums.

Commencing with fiscal year 2011, the Town participated in the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) Fund, which is administered by CalPERS. CERBT is a tax-qualified irrevocable trust organized under Internal Revenue Code Section 115 and established to prefund retiree healthcare benefits.

In fiscal year 2020, the Town closed CERBT and transferred the trust balances to the newly established Section 115 irrevocable trust with Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). The investment balance in the Town's PARS Trust Investment Account (OPEB ) as of June 30, 2022 was $1.1 million. The Town Council elected to invest money through the PARS Trust, in partnership High Mark Capital Management in High Mark Capitals Capital Appreciation Portfolio Index Plus Fund, the same funds as is used for the PARS Trust Investments for purposes of future pension obligations. See below and Note 2 on page 70 for more details of the Town's PARS Trust investments through High Mark Capital.

Eligibility: Employees are eligible to participate in the Town's Retiree Healthcare Plan if they retire directly from the Town under CalPERS with five years of PERS service (there is no minimum service requirement if retirement is due to a service-connected disability.) Since PEMHCA is a community rated plan for most employers, an implied subsidy is not reflected under GASB 45. The Town does not provide dental, vision, life, or Medicare Part B reimbursement to retirees. The Retiree Healthcare Plan does not issue a financial report.

Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of the Plan participants and the Town are established by and may be amended by the Town. The Town funds plan benefits by contributing at least 100% of the Annual Determined Contribution (ADC). For FY 2022, the Town made a total payment of $135,193 to the Plan, including $96,664 for pay-as-go portion of payments unreimbursed by the Trust.

Employees Covered by benefit terms
At June 30, 2022, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:

Inactive Employees Receiving Benefits 12
Inactive Employees Entitled to But Not Receiving Benefits - Participating Active Employees 22
Total 34
Net OPEB Liability
The Town's net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2022 and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2021 based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Actuarial Assumptions
Discount Rate 6.25%
Inflation 2.26%
Salary Increases 3.25% per annum
Net Investment Rate of Return 6.25%
Mortality Rate Pre-Retirement: CalPERS 2017 Non-Safety Mortality pre-retirement Post-Retirement: CalPERS 2017 Non-Safety Mortality post-retirement Healthcare Trend Rate Pre-65: 7.05%
Post-65: 5.25%
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined by an independent actuary using a building block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

CERBT
Strategy 1 Rate of Return
Asset Class Component
Equity 73.00% 5.65%
Fixed income 20.00% 1.39%
REITS 2.00% 5.06%
Cash 5.00% 0.00%
Total 100.00%
The discount rate used by the independent actuary to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25 percent.

The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that Town contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Town is a party to claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. The Town's management and legal counsel are of the opinion that the ultimate liability, if any, arising from these claims will not have material adverse impact on the financial position of the Town. The Town participates in a number of federal and state assisted grant programs. These programs are subject to program compliance audits by the grantors. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time although the Town expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

13. JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
The town participates in the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG), which is governed by a board consisting of a representative from each member. The board controls the operations of C/CAG, including selection of management and approval of operating budgets, independent of any influence by each member beyond member representation of the Board.

C/CAG was established under a 1990 Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the Town, San Mateo County and a majority of cities within San Mateo County for the purpose of developing State mandated plans such as an integrated waste management plan. The Town makes annual nonrefundable contributions to C/CAG which is used along with other member contributions to finance C/CAG operations. Audited financial statements may be obtained from the City of San Carlos, 666 Elm Street, San Carlos, CA, 94070.

The Town's payments to C/CAG during the year totaled $1,942. The Town's share of year-end assets, liabilities, or fund equity has not been calculated by C/CAG.

GASB Statement No. 91 – Conduit Debt Obligation
The primary objectives of this Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by issuers, (2) arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This Statement clarifies the existing definition of a conduit debt obligation; establishing that a conduit debt obligation is not a liability of the issuer; establishing standards for accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments extended by issuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note disclosures. This Statement also addresses arrangements -often characterized as leases - that are associated with conduit debt obligations.

This Statement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Town does not believe this statement will have a significant impact on the Town’s financial statements.

GASB Statement No. 94 – Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements
The primary objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by addressing issues related to public-private and public-public partnership arrangements (PPPs). As used in this Statement, a PPP is an arrangement in which a government (the transferor) contracts with an operator (a governmental or nongovernmental entity) to provide public services by conveying control of the right to operate or use a nonfinancial asset, such as infrastructure or other capital asset (the underlying PPP asset), for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Some PPPs meet the definition of a service concession arrangement (SCA), which the Board defines in this Statement as a PPP in which (1) the operator collects and is compensated by fees from third parties; (2) the transferor determines or has the ability to modify or approve which services the operator is required to provide, to whom the operator is required to provide the services, and the prices or rates that can be charged for the services; and (3) the transferor is entitled to significant residual interest in the service utility of the underlying PPP asset at the end of the arrangement.

This Statement also provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting for availability payment arrangements (APAs). As defined in this Statement, an APA is an arrangement in which a government compensates an operator for services that may include designing, constructing, financing, maintaining, or operating an underlying nonfinancial asset for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.

This Statement is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2022. The Town does not believe this statement will have a significant impact on the Town’s financial statements.

GASB Statement No. 96 – Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments). This Statement (1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes that a SBITA results in a right-to-use subscription asset—an intangible asset—and a corresponding subscription liability; (3) provides the capitalization criteria for outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation costs of a SBITA; and (4) requires note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant, the standards for SBITAs are based on the standards established in Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended.

The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by establishing a definition for SBITAs and providing uniform guidance for accounting and financial reporting for transactions that meet that definition. That definition and uniform guidance will result in greater consistency in practice. Establishing the capitalization criteria for implementation costs also will reduce diversity and improve comparability in financial reporting by governments. This Statement also will enhance the relevance and reliability of a government’s financial statements by requiring a government to report a subscription asset and subscription liability for a SBITA and to disclose essential information about the arrangement. The disclosures will allow users to understand the scale and important aspects of a government’s SBITA activities and evaluate a government’s obligations and assets resulting from SBITAs.

This Statement is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2021. The Town does not believe this statement will have a significant impact on the Town’s financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN

AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Members of the Town Council
Town of Woodside
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the basic financial statements of the Town of Woodside (Town), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and have issued our report thereon date October 13, 2022.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Town’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Town’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

We have also issued a separate Memorandum on Internal Control dated October 13,2022 which is an integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report.

Item B Page 124 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Town’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON

APPLYING AGREED UPON PROCEDURES FOR
COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROPOSITION 111
2021-2022 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT INCREMENT
Honorable Town Council
Town of Woodside, California
We have performed the procedures enumerated below on the Appropriations Limit Worksheet (Worksheet) of the Town of Woodside, California, for the year ended June 30, 2022. The Town’s management is responsible for the Worksheet.

The Town has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of these procedures, which were suggested by the League of California Cities and presented in their Article XIIIB Appropriations Limitation Uniform Guidelines, were performed solely to assist you in meeting the requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes.

The procedures and associated findings were as follows:

A. We obtained the Worksheet and determined that the 2021-2022 Appropriations Limit of $5,640,134 and annual adjustment factors were adopted by Resolution No. 2021-7429 of the Town Council.

We also determined that the population and inflation options were selected by a recorded vote of the Town Council.

B. We recomputed the 2021-2022 Appropriations Limit by multiplying the 2020-2021 Prior Year Appropriations Limit by the Total Growth Factor. We recomputed the Total Growth Factor by multiplying the population option by the inflation option.

C. For the Worksheet, we agreed the Per Capita Income Factor, Town Population Factor and County Population Factor to California State Department of Finance Worksheets.

We were engaged by the Town to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or review engagement, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Worksheet.

Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

We are required to be independent of the Town and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our agreed-upon procedures engagement.

We have examined management of the Town of Woodside’s assertion, included in accompanying Management’s Report on Compliance with the Agreement for Distribution of San Mateo County Measure A Fund for Local Transportation Purposes (the Agreement) between the Town and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority dated August 22, 1989, that the Town of Woodside (Town) complied with the requirements of the Agreement during the year ended June 30, 2022. Management is responsible for that assertion. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion based upon our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether management’s assertion that the Town complied with the requirements of the Agreement is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about management’s assertion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of management’s assertion, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to the engagement.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Town complied with the requirements of the Agreement for the year ended June 30, 2022 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Town Council and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties; however, this restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of public record.

To the Honorable Members of the Town Council
The Town of Woodside, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the Town of Woodside for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated August 25, 2022. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Accounting Policies - Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the Town are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year. The following pronouncements became effective, but did not have a material effect on the financial statements:

GASB 87 – Leases
GASB 89 – Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period GASB 90 – Majority Equity Interests (an amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 61) GASB 92 – Omnibus 2020
GASB 93 – Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates
GASB 97 – Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans—An Amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 84, and a Supersession of GASB Statement No. 32 GASB 99 – Omnibus 2022
Unusual Transactions, Controversial or Emerging Areas - We noted no transactions entered into by the Town during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting Estimates - Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the Town’s financial statements were:

Estimated Net Pension Liabilities and Pension-Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources: Management’s estimate of the net pension liabilities and deferred outflows/inflows of resources are disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements and are based on actuarial studies determined by a consultant, which are based on the experience of the Town. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Estimated Net OPEB Liabilities: Management’s estimate of the net OPEB liability is disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements and is based on actuarial study determined by a consultant, which is based on the experience of the Town. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Estimated Fair Value of Investments: As of June 30, 2022, the Town held approximately $11.7 million of cash and investments as measured by fair value as disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements. Fair value is essentially market pricing in effect as of June 30, 2021. These fair values are not required to be adjusted for changes in general market conditions occurring subsequent to June 30, 2022.

Estimate of Depreciation: Management’s estimate of the depreciation is based on useful lives determined by management. These lives have been determined by management based on the expected useful life of assets as disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the depreciation estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Estimate of Compensated Absences: Accrued compensated absences which are comprised of accrued vacation, holiday, and certain other compensating time is estimated using accumulated unpaid leave hours and hourly pay rates in effect at the end of the fiscal year as disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accrued compensated absences and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Disclosures - The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.

Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely uncorrected misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We have no such misstatements to report to the Town Council.

Item B Page 149 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in a management representation letter dated October 13, 2022.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Town’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Other Audit Matters or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Town’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information that accompanies and supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the required supplementary information and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the required supplementary information.

We were engaged to report on the supplementary information which accompany the financial statements, but are not required supplementary information. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.

Item B Page 150 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
We were not engaged to report on the Introductory and Schedule of Land Assets Sections which accompany the financial statements, but are not required supplementary information. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. ******
This information is intended solely for the use of Town Council and management and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

2021-22 ANNUAL COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT

1. The annual budget must be balanced.

The 2021-22 Adopted Budget, approved by the Town Council on June 22, 2021, was balanced and remained balanced with all subsequent adjustments during the fiscal year.

2. Adequate reserves must be developed and maintained, including a minimum reserve of thirty percent of estimated operating revenues for the Town’s General Fund.

General Fund reserves were $5.9 million as of June 30, 2022, a 12-month averaged amount, which was 60% of operating revenues, above the mandated thirty percent target.

3. One-time revenues and resources should not be used to support ongoing operations.

One-time revenues and resources were not used to support any ongoing operations during 2021-22.

4. The following areas should be self-supporting, including appropriate overhead costs:
⇒ Development services activities
⇒ Recreation
⇒ Maintenance and assessment districts
⇒ Enterprise funds
Except for Development Services, all of these programs and activities were selfsupporting during 2021-22. Development services activities include the functions of the Planning Department and the Public Works Department that support the processing of building permits, site development, and other permits and the approval of permits and applications by the Planning Commission and the Architectural and Site Review Board. The Town Council adopted a new fee schedule for Sewer fees and planning charges which became effective on May 25, 2013 and another Sewer fees review was completed in 2018. Planning review continues to be subsidized by about 30% by the General Fund. On March 14, 2023 the Town Council adopted a new schedule of fees and charges which will take effect on July 1, 2023.

5. Operating and capital budget items should be clearly distinguished and preferably reported separately.

Operating and capital items were clearly distinguished and reported during 2021-22.

6. Assessment districts must be reported separately by fund.

The Town's two assessment districts (Town Center Sewer and Woodside Road-Whiskey Hill Road Parking Assessment Districts) were reported separately by fund.

7. Overhead costs should be allocated to all functions on a fair basis.

The Town developed and implemented an overhead allocation process during 1992-93 Item B Page 152 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023

ATTACHMENT B
that has been fairly applied in each ensuing fiscal year, including 2021-22.

8. Interfund transfers and loans, regardless of duration, should be explicitly authorized by formal Council action and incorporated into the budget approval process.

All interfund transfers were formally authorized by Town Council action during 2021-

22. There was one $775,000 interfund loan during 2016-17 from the General Fund to the Town Center Sewer Pump Station Fund for improvements. Town Council adopted resolution 2016-7135 on December 13, 2016 approving a 9-year re-payment schedule with the last payment on 6/30/2026.

10.Debt should be issued only to support capital costs and not operating expenses of the Town.

No debt was issued during the fiscal year.

11.Revenues and expenditures should be estimated on the basis of reasonable and conservative assumptions.

This policy was applied to all revenue and expenditure assumptions used to develop and update the 2021-22 budget, for all funds.

12.The Town Council should conduct a comprehensive review of the fiscal status of the Town on a quarterly basis.

The Town Council conducted the 2021-22 First Quarterly Budget Review on November 16, 2021, the 2021-22 Mid-Year Budget Review on February 22, 2022, the 2021-22 Third Quarterly Budget Review on May 24, 2022, and the May Budget Review on July 12, 2022.

13. Modifications to the Town Budget should be made only by resolution of the Town Council and should only be considered within the context of a formal monthly or quarterly review of the Town’s budget status.

The 2021-22 budget was modified on July 12, 2022 (adding $8,000 to support new lighting and landscaping for new parking spaces at the Town Library), via formal resolution on the Town Council's agenda, in tandem with the review of the Town’s budget status.

14.The Town will incorporate a five-year financial planning model into all of its fiscal and programmatic decisions.

The Town developed a Five-year General Fund Forecast Model as the 1993-94 Proposed Budget was developed. It has been incorporated into the financial planning and management processes of the Town. Additionally, a similar five-year model has been developed for the five funds that comprise the Town's road program. Both models are updated two to three times a year, as revised forecast data is developed. The models are used to determine the long-range impact of current financial decisions.

15.The five-year model will be updated and reviewed by the Town Council on at least a semi-annual basis and whenever a significant proposal that will impact Town finances is considered.

Item B Page 153 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
The five-year model was updated and reviewed by the Town Council on three occasions during 2021-22. The first update was during the Mid-Year Budget Review in February of 2022, the second update was during the Third Quarterly Budget Review May 2022, third was in tandem with review of the 2021-22 Proposed Budget in June of 2022.

TOWN OF WOODSIDE

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: KEVIN BRYANT, TOWN MANAGER
DATE: MARCH 28, 2023
RE: ITEM C: RESOLUTION TO BAN PESTICIDES ON TOWN-OWNED PROPERTY AND

DISCOURAGE THEIR USE AND SALE BY WOODSIDE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES ____________________________________________________________________________ On November 17, 2022, the Environment: Open Space, Conservation & Sustainability Committee voted unanimously to recommend that the Town Council consider a resolution to ban the use of pesticides on Town-owned property and to discourage their use and sale by Woodside residents and business.

Attached are: (A) a Proposal to the Woodside Town Council to Adopt a Pesticide-Free Resolution and (B) a Draft Resolution.

Members of the Environment Committee will be at the March 28th Council meeting to present the Committee proposal and answer questions.

Item C Page 1 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
Proposal to Woodside Town Council to
Adopt Pesticide-Free Resolution
Submitted by the Environment, Open Space, and Sustainability Committee Introduction
Insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides and other poisons—collectively referred to as pesticides—have been proven to be a leading cause of death in wildlife in northern California, as well as a threat to human health. Give the Town of Woodside’s historic support for wildlife, The Environment, Open Space and Sustainability Committee proposes that the Town of Woodside adopt a resolution banning all pesticides on city-owned property and discouraging their use and sale by Woodside residents and businesses, respectively. Nineteen northern California jurisdictions have adopted similar resolutions, including Portola Valley, Menlo Park, and Belmont.

Proposed Solution
The alternative to the use of pesticides is commonly referred to as Earth Friendly Management. Earth Friendly Management promotes problem-solving to champion pest prevention and landscape enrichment strategies that lead to healthy soil, plant life, wildlife, and structure protection.

Practices like Integrated Pest Management (which emphasizes natural prevention, monitoring and control of pests) and Organic Land Management are considered Earth Friendly Management if performed in the right way. The following principles are important elements in all such strategies and are practical alternatives to pesticide use.
• Repel: apply non-toxic repellants, such as garlic, castor oil, soap, or tabasco, to name a few examples. Traps can also be used as a way to eradicate pests that cannot be repelled. • Exclude: seal possible entryways and ensure any wildlife attractants are removed and securely stored. It is important to note here that pests are attracted to garbage; appropriate local Dumpster Ordinances can help ensure that garbage is maintained in a fashion that does not invite pests.
• Deter: remove artificial food sources for wildlife and consider embracing the presence of predator species. To that end, the Environment, Open Space, and Sustainability Committee regularly hosts webinars and/or in-person talks to help Woodside community members learn more about living with predator species in our community. There are also resources available to community members on the Town website.

Effective and safe replacements for dangerous herbicides and insecticides are also available. For example, termite extermination can be done with orange oil, or less toxic chemical products such as Sentricon. The herbicides on this list can be replaced with a host of DIY or commercial organic weed killers that use vinegar, essential oils, and/or herbicidal soaps.

Item C Page 2 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023

ATTACHMENT A
Adoption of the proposed resolution would have implications for the Town, local businesses and residents, and the Environment, Open Space, and Sustainability Committee, as follows:
• The Town would NOT need to make changes to any landscape management products currently in use. After reviewing the list of products used as of March 2022, the Environment, Open Space, and Sustainability Committee deemed them to be safe. The resolution would, however, prevent the ability of Town contractors to switch to poisonbased products in the future. • The resolution would encourage (but not require) that pesticides be phased out by local businesses and residents.
• The Environment, Open Space, and Sustainability Committee would be responsible for outreach to local businesses and residents, informing them of the example set by the Town and helping them to learn about potential alternatives. This outreach would be conducted through flyers, events, and additional information on the website.

Pesticide Summary & Impacts
There are many types of pesticides, with varying effects on animal and human health. While many insecticides and herbicides have been shown to have negative health impacts, rodenticides have been proven to be the most harmful.

There are two types of rodenticides: anticoagulant and non-anticoagulant. Blood anticoagulant rodenticides cause internal bleeding and hemorrhaging which ultimately is fatal in rats and mice.

Anticoagulant rodenticides have been shown to be the most lethal to carnivorous animal populations, including mountain lions, coyotes bobcats, foxes, raptors, and fishers. Anticoagulant rodenticides can be either second generation or first generation. Second generation anticoagulant rodenticides are the most advanced and dangerous poisons. They kill very gradually, so rodents continue eating them after they’ve already ingested a lethal dose. By the time the rodent dies, its body contains multiple times the lethal dose and can therefore be deadly to predators, scavengers, and pets. First generation anticoagulant rodenticides are less potent but are deadly if ingested more than once by a rodent, which is common.

While non-anticoagulant rodenticides are less severe, they still pose serious dangers to the wildlife ecosystem and are especially dangerous to pets since they are easily ingested and have no antidotes.

The EPA has published the Risk Mitigation Decision for Ten Rodenticides,1 which includes both first and second generation anticoagulant rodenticides and non-anticoagulant rodenticides. This report summarizes the 2008 EPA decision that all rodenticide bait products be limited to bait stations to reduce risk to children, and also puts in place measures to prevent general consumers from purchasing bait products containing the ten rodenticides that pose the greatest risk to wildlife. However, because of the proven negative effects of all types of pesticides, the Environment, Open Space and Sustainability Committee proposes that the pesticide-free resolution cover not only these rodenticides, but also insecticides and herbicides.

Wildlife can be exposed to pesticides through either direct or indirect ingestion. In other words, wildlife like bees, birds or small mammals may ingest the pesticide directly, while large carnivorous species 1 Rodenticides Final Risk Mitigation Decision; Notice of Availability. The Federal Register. June 4, 2008. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/06/04/E8-12493/rodenticides-final-risk-mitigation-decision-notice-ofavailability Item C Page 3 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
typically only ingest it via their prey. In exposed animals, pesticide exposure is linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, reproductive effects, neurotoxicity, kidney and liver damage, birth defects, and developmental and behavioral changes. Exposure to poisons also increase the likelihood that animals will die from other diseases, such as mange. Because pesticides have negative effects throughout the food chain, including bees, pollinators, and other beneficial organisms—and on local water quality— they cause harm to the entire ecosystem. A demonstration of how poison spreads throughout ecosystem is included in the figure below.

In California countless studies have been conducted that show the detrimental effects of rodenticides on predatory species in particular. Together, these studies have demonstrated that the vast majority of predators have been exposed to pesticides, but also that increased pesticide exposure is linked to decreased survival rate (the percentage of individuals that live from one year to the next) and therefore decreased animal populations. Here are a few of the findings our committee finds the most compelling; note that this is not an exhaustive list.
• Of 252 mountain lions tested for poisons between 2016 and 2018 in 37 California counties, 96% had been exposed to one or more poisons and 72% to 3 or more poisons.2 • Since 2012, eight California mountain lions have been documented as dying directly from poison exposure. These mountain lions were all found to have been exposed to five to six different anticoagulant rodent poisons, including both first generation and second generation varieties. Some of these animals were discovered by hikers, and most made local news. Many other mountain lions have likely died from poison exposure (based on exposure levels shown in the first bullet above), but were not found or tested. 2 “An Investigation of Anticoagulant Rodenticide Data Submitted to the Department of Pesticide Regulation.” Department of Pesticide Regulation, Pesticide Registration Branch.

Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
• The Mid-Peninsula Open Space District linked the illness and death of many bobcats found in its preserves to second generation anticoagulant rodenticides3 • Bobcats have been completely eradicated from the Conejo Valley in southern California due to increased vulnerability to the deadly disease mange, which is commonly linked to pesticide exposure.4
• Of 195 bobcats tested in five southern California counties, first generation anticoagulant pesticides were found in 77% of the individuals.5
• As of 2010, 92% of raptors (owls and hawks) collected in San Diego County and 79% collected in the Central Valley contained anticoagulant rodenticides.6 • In a 2014 study of 68 kit foxes texted near Bakersfield, 74% were exposed to anticoagulant rodenticides. This is particularly disappointing because kit foxes are listed on the federal Endangered Species list and as threatened in California.7 Beyond the demonstrated detrimental effects on wildlife, pesticides have also been shown to be harmful to humans (particularly children, elderly, and individuals with health problems) and pets. It is estimated that 10,000 children per year are accidentally exposed to mouse and rat baits.8 There is a wide range of effects to human and pet health of exposure to pesticides, from mild symptoms like eye and skin irritation or vomiting and diarrhea, to severe symptoms like increased risk of cancer, birth defects, and even death (from ingesting zinc phosphide, for example).

Regional Examples
Pesticide-free resolutions have been passed in eighteen northern California jurisdictions: Albany, Belmont, Berkeley, Brisbane, Davis, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Fairfax, Foster City, Humboldt County, Marin County, Menlo Park, Portola Valley, Richmond, San Anselmo, San Francisco (City and County), Santa Cruz County.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the Environment, Open Space, and Sustainability Committee asks that the Town Council consider adopting a pesticide-free resolution. The primary drivers for such a resolution are the proven fatal impact that high pesticide exposure can have on wildlife; the negative impacts of pesticides on human health; and the availability of alternative strategies to repel, exclude, and deter pests.

Attachment 1: List of proposed banned
products
Organized by pesticide type
Insecticides
• Chlorpyrifos
o Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide, acaricide and miticide used primarily to control foliage and soil-borne insect pests.
o All use on food crops was banned by the EPA as of Feb, 2022 due to excessive risks to pregnant women and children, including long-term harm to children s brain function, including loss of IQ and impaired working memory. Non-agricultural, non-food uses are unaffected by this rule, but will be considered as EPA completes its registration review of this chemical.1
o A draft biological evaluation by the Environmental Protection Agency found that chlorpyrifos is likely to adversely affect” 97 percent of all threatened and endangered wildlife, including more than 100 listed bird species.2 o Example product brands: Lorsban® and Dursban® from Corteva™ Agriscience • Naphthalene
o The chemical naphthalene is an effective pesticide found in mothballs and other pest control products. Its strong odor also makes it a pest repellant. o Animal studies have suggested that naphthalene can cause cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded that naphthalene is possibly carcinogenic to humans. The U.S. EPA classified naphthalene as a possible human carcinogen, also based on animal studies3 o In humans, women who ate naphthalene mothballs or inhaled the vapors while pregnant gave birth to babies with hemolytic anemia. Naphthalene is also considered moderately toxic to several species of fish, water fleas, and Pacific oysters.4 o Mothballs are hazardous to young children. Mothballs can easily be mistaken for candy, or simply tempt young children to touch and play with them.

Herbicides
• Atrazine
o Atrazine is a chlorinated triazine systemic herbicide that is used to selectively control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds before they emerge. Pesticide products containing atrazine are registered for use on several agricultural crops, with the highest use on field corn, sweet corn, sorghum, and sugarcane.
o Atrazine is a widespread pollutant of groundwater and drinking water, has been linked to increased risk of cancer and endocrine and reproductive problems in people. The EPA 1 https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-takes-next-step-keep-chlorpyrifos-out-food-protecting-farmworkersand-childrens 2 https://www.epa.gov/endangered-species/biological-evaluation-chapters-chlorpyrifos-esa-assessment 3 https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-09/documents/naphthalene.pdf 4 http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/naphgen.html

also reports that, “Based on the results from hundreds of toxicity studies on the effects of atrazine on plants and animals, over 20 years of surface water monitoring data,and higher tier aquatic exposure models, this risk assessment concludes that aquatic plant communities are impacted in many areas where atrazine use is heaviest, and there is potential chronic risk to fish, amphibians, and aquatic invertebrates in these same locations5,6
o Atrazine is the active ingredient in dozens of consumer pesticide products • Clopyralid
o Clopyralid is a toxic persistent herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds on lawns and turf, range, pastures, right-of ways, and on several crops. o Clopyralid has low toxicity if individuals accidentally eat, touch, or inhale residues and is considered relatively non-toxic to bees
o Clopyralid causes environmental and property damage through drift, runoff, use of treated plant material (such as straw or grass clippings) for mulch or compost, contaminated irrigation water, and urine or manure from animals consuming treated vegetation.
o Example product brands: Stinger, Transline, Reclaim, Curtail, Confront, Clopyr AG, Lontrel, Millennium Ultra, Millenium Ultra Plus and Redeem • Glyphosate
o Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide that can kill certain weeds and grasses.

Glyphosate works by blocking an enzyme essential for plant growth. The product is used primarily in agriculture, but also in forestry and lawn and garden care. o Products containing glyphosate may cause eye or skin irritation. People who breathed in spray mist from products containing glyphosate felt irritation in their nose and throat.

Swallowing products with glyphosate can cause increased saliva, burns in the mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
o People may also be exposed to glyphosate through the food they eat. Many farmers use glyphosate products in their fields and orchards. It is used on GMO and non-GMA crops and gets into foods early in the food chain, before raw food is harvested and before it s processed.
o Cancer: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says there s no evidence that glyphosate causes cancer in humans.” The European Food Safety Authority agrees. The World Health Organization s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer, however, stated in 2015 that glyphosate is probably carcinogenic to humans.”7 o Example product brand: Roundup
• Picloram
o Picloram is a systemic herbicide used for general woody plant control. It also controls a wide range of broad-leaved weeds, but most grasses are resistant. o Picloram is not thought to be carcinogenic, but does cause eye and skin irritation. It is chemically very stable, so can be passed through animal feces to non-target plants. o No picloram products are registered for homeowner use or have residential applications.
o Example product brand: Tordon

Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
• Triclopyr
o Triclopyr TEA and BEE products are used as selective herbicides to control broad leaf weeds and brush on a variety of sites-- rights-of-way, pasture and rangelands, forests, rice, and turf, including home lawns
o Triclopyr has low toxicity if individuals accidentally eat, touch, or inhale residues.

Triclopyr is slightly irritating to the eyes, nonirritating to the skin, and causes skin sensitization.
o Triclopyr acid was found to be slightly toxic to birds and practically non- toxic to mammals, insects, freshwater fish and invertebrates8
o Example product brands: Access, Crossbow, ET, Garlon, Grazon, PathFinder, Redeem, Rely, Remedy, and Turflon
• 2,4-D
o 2,4-D controls broadleaf weeds and is the most widely used herbicide in the world. It is used in many places including turf, lawns, rights-of-way, aquatic sites, forestry sites, and a variety of field, fruit and vegetable crops. It may also be used to regulate the growth of citrus plants.
o Pure 2,4-D is low in toxicity if eaten, inhaled, or if it contacts the skin, and some forms are low in toxicity to the eyes. However, the acid and salt forms of 2,4- D can cause severe eye irritation. People who drank products containing 2,4- D vomited, had diarrhea, headaches, and were confused or aggressive9
o 2,4-D generally has moderate toxicity to birds and mammals, is slightly toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates, and is practically nontoxic to honeybees o Example product brands: Trimec, Triplet, End Run, and Q4 Plus Rodenticides
• Anticoagulant
o Second generation

• Non-anticoagulant
o Bromethalin
▪ Bromethalin is not an anticoagulant but is a highly potent rodenticide that provides a lethal dose to rodents in a single feeding. Death occurs within 24 to 36 hours after ingestion
▪ Covered by EPA Risk Mitigation Decision for Ten Rodenticides ▪ Because only small amounts are needed to kill a rodent, a predator is unlikely to be harmed by consuming a bromethalin-poisoned rodent. This is good news for owls, hawks, and other rat-consuming wildlife. For dogs and cats, however, this is only a small advantage as pets commonly consume the insecticide directly.

Bromethalin has no antidote and bromethalin products are readily palatable to dogs and cats.
▪ With anticoagulant rodenticides becoming less available, bromethalin has captured the home rat poison market and has created a new hazard for pets to contend with.
▪ Example product brands: Fastrac Blox, Fastrac Pellets, and Talpirid Mole Bait o Cholecalciferol
▪ Rodenticides containing cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) are emerging as a popular consumer choice for eliminating rats and mice resistant to anticoagulant rodenticides. Ingestion of cholecalciferol rodenticides by dogs and cats can result in death.
▪ Covered by EPA Risk Mitigation Decision for Ten Rodenticides ▪ Example product brands: Quintox, True Grit Rampage, and Ortho Rat-B-Gone o Zinc phosphide
▪ Zinc phosphide is only used as a rodenticide. It is made into bait that will attract the pest, such as gophers, ground squirrels, or field mice. There are over 80 products containing zinc phosphide registered for use in the United States. ▪ Zinc phosphide is highly toxic in acute exposure to humans. It may be consumed accidentally or intentionally as means of suicidal or homicidal acts. Other routes of entry into the body could be via inhalation or through the skin. Zinc phosphide is hydrolysed by the gastric acid and is transformed into phosphine gas.
▪ Covered by EPA Risk Mitigation Decision for Ten Rodenticides ▪ Example product brand: Prozap Mole and Gopher
Molluscicide
• Sodium Ferric EDTA
o Sodium Ferric EDTA is a broad-spectrum molluscicide and the active ingredient in Slug & Snail Killer. The end-use product is a pelleted bait intended for use as a molluscicide in agricultural, nursery, greenhouse, and home and garden applications. o No risks to humans or the environment are expected when pesticide products containing pelargonic acid are used according to the label directions. o Low toxicity to dogs, and much safer than metaldehyde o Example product brand: Corry's Slug & Snail Killer
• Metaldehyde
Item C Page 11 Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
o Metaldehyde is an ingredient in slug and snail killers. It is considered highly toxic to pets and other mammals and will be banned in the UK in 2023. o Metaldehyde can affect you when breathed in. Contact can irritate the skin and eyes.

Metaldehyde can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Exposure to Metaldehyde can cause irritability, sleepiness, fever, muscle twitching, convulsions, coma, and death.
o Dogs, cats, birds, and other wildlife can all be affected by metaldehyde. Metaldehyde may cause signs of poisoning even when very small amounts are ingested. o Example product brands: Southern Ag Slug and Snail Bait, Deadline Slug & Snail Slayer.

Broad Spectrum
• Methyl Bromide
o Methyl bromide is an odorless, colorless gas used to control a wide variety of pests in agriculture and shipping, including fungi, weeds, insects, nematodes (or roundworms), and rodents.
o It has been banned in the US due to toxicity and damage to the ozone layer. Exception are made for Critical uses and Quarantine and pre-shipment uses. o In California, it was long used by strawberry growers but was phased out at the end of 2016, holding out until then by using the Critical Use exemption. o Example product brands: Brom-o-Gas, Bromomethane, Celfume, Embafume, Haltox, MB, MeBr, Methogas, Profume, Terr-o-Gas, and Zytox
• Sulfuryl Fluoride (also a rodenticide)
o Sulfuryl fluoride is a structural and commodity fumigant used to control a wide variety of pests, including termites, powder post beetles, old house borers, bedbugs, carpet beetles, moths, cockroaches, rats and mice
o It is a restricted-use pesticide, meaning it can only be used by a certified applicator or someone under the certified applicator s direct supervision. o Sulfuryl Fluoride can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and loss of appetite. Repeated high exposure can cause weakness, muscle twitching, seizures and convulsions. Sulfuryl Fluoride may damage the liver and kidneys. o Sulfuryl fluoride has replaced many uses of methyl bromide.

Question/Comment
Dear Council Members
I urge you to vote yes on the pesticide-free resolution.

One reason is that Resident's gardeners are increasingly using herbicides along town right of ways.

My street, Rocky Way, has a dead border along both sides, sad for insects, birds, and ugly.

Thank you,
Christina

To the Mayor and Town Council Members of Woodside,
The Environment, Open Space, and Sustainability Committee has asked you to consider adopting a pesticide-free resolution to protect residents, their pets and livestock, and the wildlife in this area from the harmful and sometimes fatal affects of pesticides. There is wide availability of alternative solutions to repel, exclude, and deter pests that are effective and much healthier for our community.

We hope that this evening you vote to support this resolution and urge businesses to no longer sell pesticides and property owners to cease purchasing and using pesticides and/or to encourage their landscape management resources to refrain from using pesticides and weed killers such as Roundup, etc.

My understanding is that The Environment, Open Space, and Sustainability Committee will take responsibility for outreach and engagement efforts following resolution adoption.

We and other residents appreciate your support in protecting our health and the health of our livestock, pets, and the wonderful wildlife in this area.

Best regards,
Melinda and Tom Stoker

TOWN OF WOODSIDE
Report to Town Council Agenda Item D
From: Kevin Bryant, Town Manager March 28, 2023
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF DRAFT 2023 SEWER RATE STUDY AND DIRECTION TO CONDUCT A PROPOSITION 218 PROTEST HEARING

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Town Council review the draft 2023 sewer rate study, take public comment, and direct staff to proceed with the Proposition 218 protest public hearing process to adopt sewer rates for the Town Center Sewer Assessment District for 2023-24 to 2027-28.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Town of Woodside provides sewer service to approximately 145 residential parcels and 22 non-residential accounts located within the Town Center Sewer Assessment District (TCSAD), formed in 1987.

Wastewater is transported from the Town first through pipelines owned by the Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District (operated by San Mateo County), then through Redwood City’s sewer system, and ultimately to Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) for treatment and disposal.

Town Financial Policy #4 states that the TCSAD should be selfsupporting. To implement that policy, the Town has retained Bartle Wells Associates to prepare a sewer rate study to establish sewer rates for the next five years (2023-24 through 2027-28) (Attachment 1). Bartle Wells Associates will attend the March 28th meeting to review the sewer rate study.

NEXT STEPS
If directed by the Town Council, the Town will proceed with a Proposition 218 protest public hearing process. The Town will send a Notice of Public Hearing on the proposed sewer rate increases to all TCSAD ratepayers. The Notice will include the amount of the proposed rates and explain the process for their adoption. The protest hearing date will be set before the Town Council on May 23, 2023. In accordance with California law for setting utility rates, the rates will not be adopted if written protests are received by more than 50% of affected parcels with one written protest counted per parcel.

Protests must be received by the close of the public hearing.

CONCLUSION
Adoption of new sewer rates will ensure that the TCSAD continues to be financially self-supporting in compliance with Town Financial Policy #4.

1 Town of Woodside
TCSAD Sewer Rate Study
Key Findings & Recommendations
Background
The Town of Woodside provides sewer service to 143 residential parcels and 22 non-residential accounts located within the Town Center Sewer Assessment District (TCSAD). Wastewater is transported from the Town first through pipelines owned by the Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District (operated by San Mateo County), then through Redwood City’s sewer system, and ultimately to Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) for treatment and disposal. SVCW is currently in the process of completing an $800+ million capital improvement program to rebuild and upgrade its aging wastewater conveyance and treatment facilities.

The TCSAD is accounted for as a self-supporting enterprise and is funded primarily by sewer service charges. As such, the Town’s sewer rates need to be set at levels adequate to fund the TCSAD’s annual operating, maintenance, debt service, and capital funding needs. These costs include not only the costs of administration, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of the Town’s local sewer collection system, but also contractual costs for wastewater conveyance and treatment including the Town’s share of debt service for SVCW’s capital program.

Historically, the Town adopted minimal to no rate increases for roughly 20 years from the early 1990s through 2012. Over this time the TCSAD’s residential sewer charges only increased by $1 per year and had fallen behind the cost of service. Over the past 10 years, the Town phased in a series of more substantial annual sewer rate increases to reflect the cost of providing service and support the TCSAD’s funding needs.

The Town last adopted sewer rate increases for the TCSAD in 2018. The adopted rates included five years of sewer rate increases effective July 1, 2018 through July 1, 2022. These rate increases have helped keep revenues in line with the escalating costs for wastewater conveyance and treatment and put the TSCAD on a stronger financial footing.

Item D Page 4
Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
2 Rate Study Objectives
In 2023, the Town retained Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) to develop a new rate study with the goal of setting TCSAD sewer rates for the next five years. Key objectives of the study include:
 Develop updated financial projections to identify future funding needs for:
a) TCSAD wastewater collection system operations and maintenance b) Capital improvements to TCSAD’s aging infrastructure c) Wastewater conveyance provided by Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District d) The TCSAD’s allocated share of Redwood City’s costs for wastewater treatment at SVCW including the Town’s share of debt service paid by Redwood City for rebuilding SVCW’s treatment and conveyance facilities.
 Recommend sewer rates for the next five fiscal years designed to support future annual funding needs, recover the costs of providing service, and support balanced budgets.  Phase in rate increases gradually over the next five years to minimize the annual impact on TCSAD customers.
 Update the Town’s Grease Maintenance Charge and calculation of wastewater pumping costs.

This memo provides a summary of key findings and recommendations. Recommendations were developed with input from Town staff.

Sewer Rates
Most residential parcels served by the TCSAD pay a flat rate of $2,300 per year for sewer service.

Residential parcels within the Cañada Corridor Sanitary Sewer Service Area pay a slightly lower rate that reflects that the wastewater from this area flows by gravity and does not get pumped by the Town Center Pump Station, resulting in a lower cost of service.

Non-residential accounts pay volumetric rates based on metered water use and customer type, with higher rates for customers with higher-strength wastewater. Non-residential rates are subject to an annual minimum charge currently set at 80% the standard residential rate, to ensure all accounts contribute toward the Town’s fixed costs of providing service.

High-strength accounts (restaurants and markets) also pay a Grease Maintenance Surcharge to recover costs for additional pipeline flushing and maintenance needs caused predominantly by highstrength wastewater discharge.

Customers are billed annually for sewer service on the San Mateo County property tax rolls.

Item D Page 5
Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
3 Modest Financial Challenges
The rate increases implemented over the past five years have substantially improved TCSAD finances.

Looking forward, the TSCAD is facing some modest financial challenges that can be supported by relatively small annual rate increases over the next five years. Key financial challenges include:
 Escalating costs for SVCW wastewater treatment and debt repayment – The TCSAD pays Redwood City for its share of SVCW operating and debt service based on its proportionate share of total wastewater flow from Redwood City to the SVCW treatment plant. SVCW’s wastewater treatment operating costs are projected to gradually increase in upcoming years. In addition, debt service issued to support SVCW’s $900+ million capital to rebuild and upgrade its aging wastewater conveyance and treatment facilities is projected to almost double over the next five years. Together, the TCSAD’s allocated costs for SVCW operations and debt service are projected to increase 40% over the next five years.
 Escalating costs for wastewater conveyance – Pursuant to a contract with San Mateo County, the TCSAD pays one-third of Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District’s rates in order to reimburse the County for wastewater conveyance through Fair Oaks SMD facilities. Fair Oaks SMD rates are projected to continue increasing in upcoming years.
 Capital improvements to aging TSCAD sewer system infrastructure – In 2022, the Town completed a condition assessment of the sewer force main between the Town Center pump station and the Chevron station. The cast iron force main was constructed in 1974, is reaching the end of its working life, and needs to be replaced. Other ongoing capital funding needs include spot repairs of damaged and/or leaking sections of sewer main pipelines throughout the sewer collection system.
 Ongoing inflationary cost increases – For financial planning purposes, financial projections assume the TSCAD’s operating costs escalate at the annual rate of 4%. Small annual rate adjustments are needed to keep up with cost inflation and keep rates from falling behind the cost of providing service.

Rate Projections
Bartle Wells Associates developed 10-year cash flow projections to identify future TSCAD funding needs and evaluate rate increases. The financial projections are based on the Town’s 2022/23 budget and incorporate the latest cost projections for SVCW/Redwood City, and Fair Oaks SMD.

Item D Page 6
Town Council Meeting March 28, 2023
4 Based on the cash flow projections, gradual $50 annual sewer rate increases are projected over the next five years to the Town’s residential customers. These $50 annual increases equate to slightly over 2% annual rate adjustments as shown on the table below. Non-Residential sewer usage charges would increase by the same roughly 2% annual adjustment as standard residential parcels.

Customers in the Cañada Corridor area, whose wastewater is not pumped, pay a discounted rate that excludes costs related to the Town Center Sewer Pump Station. These excluded costs include pump station operating and maintenance expenses as well as costs for repayment of a loan from the Town’s General Fund that financed a major upgrade of the pump station. This interfund loan accounts for a large portion of the discount provided to Cañada Corridor sewer customers. The interfund loan will be fully paid off in three years in fiscal year 2025/26 and will result in a corresponding reduction to the discount provided to Cañada Corridor. Customers in the Cañada Corridor will still benefit from discounted rates, however the discount will be substantially reduced.

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF WOODSIDE

TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING TRUCKS LONGER THAN TWENTY-FIVE FEET FROM

USING OLD LA HONDA ROAD FOR THE SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF THOSE

USING THE ROAD
WHEREAS, Caltrans closed portions of Highway 84 on March 11, 2023, due to storm-related damage to the road; and
WHEREAS, the closure of Highway 84 left Old La Honda Road as the only route available to traffic passing between Skyline Boulevard and Portola Road; and WHEREAS, Old La Honda Road is a small road that is not suitable for regular use by larger trucks; and
WHEREAS, through Section 71.05 of the Woodside Municipal Code, the Town has prohibited trucks larger than 35 feet in length or 13 feet in height from using Old La Honda Road without first obtaining a Transportation Permit from the Town; and WHEREAS, on the afternoon of March 23, 2023, a heavy-duty tow truck overturned on Old La Honda Road and was in danger of rolling into the ravine near 736 Old La Honda Road; and
WHEREAS, additional storms were forecasted for the week of March 26, 2023, raising the likelihood that the overturned truck may have fallen into the ravine; and WHEREAS, on March 26, 2023, the Town permitted a rotator tow truck to recover the overturned truck, which caused Old La Honda Road to be closed for the full day and caused damage to the roadway; and
WHEREAS, the damage caused to Old La Honda Road has made it increasingly dangerous for large vehicles to safely travel; and
WHEREAS, it is imperative that Old La Honda remain open and safely passable for those that live and pass through the area, particularly because of the closure of Highway 84; and
WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code section 21101(e) allows the Town to temporarily close a portion of any street when it finds, by resolution, that “the closing is necessary for the safety and protection of persons who are to use that portion of the street during the temporary closing”; and
WHEREAS, the danger of another truck overturning or causing damage to the roadway on Old La Honda Road poses a safety risk to other drivers accessing the road and those who rely on Old La Honda Road for ingress and egress from their homes; and
WHEREAS, in the interest of protecting the health and safety of those using Old La Honda Road, the Town Manager directed on March 27, 2023, that on an emergency basis the Town’s existing prohibition of trucks longer than 35 feet using Old La Honda would be applied to trucks longer than 25 feet; and
WHEREAS, Bay Area Transportation Services (BATS) flaggers were stationed at both the Skyline Boulevard and Portola Road intersections to notify and enforce the emergency restriction against trucks over 25 feet entering onto Old La Honda Road; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 54954.2(b)(2) allows the Town Council to take action on items of business not appearing on the posted agenda upon a 2/3 vote that there is a need to take immediate action on an issue that came to the Town’s attention after the agenda was posted; and
WHEREAS, prior to considering this resolution, the Town Council voted by more than 2/3 to consider this resolution as an item that required immediate action and that the damage to Old La Honda Road requiring this action occurred after the agenda for the Town Council’s regular meeting of March 28, 2023 had been posted; and WHEREAS, the Town Council finds that, in the interest of protecting the safety of those using Old La Honda Road, the Town must temporarily restrict trucks longer than 25 feet from accessing Old La Honda Road.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council that, on a temporary basis, the prohibition against large vehicles using Old La Honda Road under Woodside Municipal Code section 71.06 shall apply to vehicles exceeding 25 feet in length. The existing exceptions for public utility vehicles, emergency vehicles, Townowned vehicles, and vehicles that have received a Transportation Permit from the Town shall apply to the temporary restriction.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this temporary restriction shall continue until rescinded by resolution once repairs are completed to Old La Honda Road which would allow 35-foot-long trucks.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town shall erect signs at the Skyline Boulevard and Portola Road intersections of Old La Honda Road, which shall provide notice of this temporary restriction, and which shall remain displayed until the restriction is rescinded or ended.

PASSED AND ADOPTED as a resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Woodside at the regular meeting held on the 28th day of March, 2023, by the following vote:
