1 AGRICULTURE

AS ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT
California is the leading state in the US in terms of income derived from agricultural activities. This sector also provides 10 percent of the state’s labor force. Of approximately 99 million acres of land comprising the State, 25 million acres have been dedicated to farmland. The success of this
sector is associated with the state’s long growing season as well as the fertile soil. Additionally, most of the land is irrigated which results in the stability of farming activities.

The agricultural products in California are utilized for both consumption and export nationwide and internationally.

The exports account for one-fifth of the state’s income.

This appendix will help economic developers, planners, local food advocates, and community members to understand
the geography of the Yuba-Sutter region’s place in the multibillion-dollar California agriculture industry. The economic indicators provided can help local governments design
ways to support agricultural businesses as key components of vibrant and resilient local economies.

Yuba-Sutter generally enjoys an abundant water supply,
good soil and a long growing season. However, California has had the driest period on record and water deliveries were substantially slashed during the drought. According to the National Integrated Drought Information System
(NIDIS) the outlook for Sutter County is drought remains but improves. In Yuba County the northern half of the
county drought removal is likely and in the southern half drought conditions remains but improves.

More than 600,000 of the 798,000 acres (75 percent)
in Yuba-Sutter are in agricultural use. The largest use of agricultural land is for field crops and vegetables. Fruit and nut crops account for the second highest use of acreage.

Yuba and Sutter counties are among the leading counties of California that produce sorghum, kiwi fruit, honeydew melons, peaches, pears, rice, walnuts, wool, and mohair.

DRAFT

2 YUBA COUNTY
Approximately 272,480 acres or 66 percent of the total
county area, are comprised of agricultural croplands
and pasture. The gross value of Yuba County’s
agricultural production for 2021 is $278,931,580, up
approximately 29 percent from the 2020 value estimate
of $215,152,000. The increase in value can be attributed to the increase in commodity prices for rice, walnuts,
kiwi, prunes, livestock and almonds. Peaches and timber declined in value due to decreases in yield and price. The overall value in Yuba County’s agricultural production
has remained strong with this year’s values reaching the county’s all time high of $281 million.

The contribution of agriculture to the economy of Yuba
County is not totally reflected by the value of the crops.

Processing, transporting, marketing and other farm
related services directly or indirectly tied to agriculture benefit appreciably. It is estimated the agricultural
industry returned an additional 62.5 percent of the
gross agriculture value for an estimated total value of $453,263,817 in 2020. Agriculture accounts for 1 out of every 11 jobs in Yuba County. (Source: Yuba County 2021 Crop Report)
In 2020, Yuba County ranked 31st in gross value of
agricultural production of the entire state of California, third in dried plums and fifth in rice production value. (Source: CDFA)

3 The gross value of Sutter County agricultural production for 2021 was $621,366,000. This is an increase of
$52,509,000 or 9.2% below the 2020 total value.

Rice remains the top-ranking crop in 2021 despite
a 30.5 percent decrease in acreage. An increase in
yield and price offset the reduction in acreage as
the total value fell to $174,352,000. In second place,
walnuts total value increase 60.9% to $121,405,000
due to increases in harvested acreage and price. Cling
Peaches remained at third with increases in yield to a
total value of $55,765,000. Remaining in fourth was
processing tomatoes which increased in acreage and
price, and decreased in yield and price, to a total value of $54,964,000. In fifth, nursery products total value
rose to $45,782.000 despite decreases in acreage and
quantity sold. (Source: Sutter County 2021 Crop Report) In 2020, Sutter County ranked 22nd in gross value of
agricultural production of the entire state of California, second in rice and dried plums production, third in peach production, fourth in corn and fifth in bean production. (Source: CDFA)

Develop alignment alternatives, design and construct the East Wheatland Expressway that connects Highway 65 and Spenceville Road.

The General Plan, adopted in 2006, provides for a bypass to be developed to the east of the existing city limits. No specific alignment has yet been determined but it will likely connect to the Lincoln Bypass south of Wheatland and then reconnect to the existing Highway 65 somewhere north of Wheatland (likely somewhere between South Beale Road and Ostrom Road). The bypass is known as the Wheatland Parkway.
2022 Update: In 2017 a JPA was formed between Yuba County and the City of Wheatland, called the South Yuba Transportation Authority (SYTIA). The JPA is currently in the process of completing a Comprehensive Implementation Strategy for the SYTIA projects for adoption in 2021. Wheatland’s immediate focus is the planning and construction of Phase 1B, identified as the East Wheatland Expressway.

Feather River West Levee Project
Sutter and Butte counties are planning to improve 44 miles of levees from Thermolito Afterbay south to the Sutter Bypass to reduce flood risk and remove more than 34,000 properties from FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas.

Among other important improvements, the project will sustain and grow the local economy by creating construction jobs, protect property values, and allow for responsible residential, commercial and industrial development.

Phase I –Thermalito Afterbay to Star Bend is targeted to be completed by 2016. Phase II will include the area south of Star Bend to the confluence of the Feather River and the Sutter Bypass.
2022-2023 Update: Levee repairs will be completed in two separate phases:

Project I, the Feather River West Levee Project, includes work from Thermalito Afterbay to Star Bend, just south of Yuba City, and was completed at the end of 2020. Project II includes the area south of Star Bend to the confluence of the Feather River and the Sutter Bypass. Project II work completed to date includes a one-mile section of levee at Laurel Avenue, another five miles of levee improvements between Star Bend and Laurel Avenue completed by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). USACE also completed another mile of levee improvements between Laurel Avenue and the Highway 99 bridge. SBFCA is currently in design and permitting of the last 1.6 miles of levee along the lower Feather River west levee which is scheduled to be in construction in 2025. The Feather River West Levee Project is on schedule and within budget.

Flood Protection of the City of Marysville
A public works project to repair and upgrade the ring levee to be certified as providing a 200‐year level of flood protection. The Marysville Ring Levee project is a multi-phase project that will upgrade the levee that surrounds Marysville. The primary purpose of the project is to strengthen the existing levee by implementing additional measures to reduce the likelihood of through- and under-seepage. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District is partnering with the California Central Valley Flood Protection Board and the Marysville Levee District to complete the estimated $92.5 million project. The state of California has appropriated $17 million toward the project as part of their commitment to upgrade the state’s levee systems.

Currently, project completion is slated for 2019. The project is designed and constructed to meet the state’s requirement of 200 year-level flood risk for urban areas - or a 1-in-200 chance of flooding in any given year. Due to the elevation of the levees, the project will surpass those criteria making Marysville one of the lowest at-risk cities in California’s Central Valley after all flood reduction measures are constructed.
2022 UPDATE: The project has completed several phases of construction including Phase 1 on Simmerly Slough between Jack Slough Road and the $92,500,000

Facility Replacement. Yuba-Sutter Transit continues to plan for the replacement of its current operations, maintenance, and administration facility at 2100 B Street in Marysville. A new location is needed because this undersized and technologically obsolete 1960’s-era former Seven-Up Bottling Plant that was converted to transit use in 1996, lacks sufficient capacity to accommodate the infrastructure needed to meet the state mandate that only zero-emission buses can be purchased after 2028.
2022-2023 Update: To begin the process of replacing the existing facility, Yuba-Sutter Transit secured a Caltrans planning grant to conduct a needs analysis and site selection study as part of the Next Generation Resilient Transit Facility Plan that was completed in early 2021. In July 2021, YubaSutter Transit completed the purchase of the top ranked site from the study at 6035 Avondale Avenue in Linda for the ultimate operation and maintenance of up to 70 zero-emission buses. This 19.7-acre property is located on the northeast corner of Avondale Avenue and North Beale Road in Linda.

The process to fund the design, construction and equipping of the new facility is now well underway as more than half of the estimated $47.5 million needed has already been secured from a mix of federal, state, regional and local sources. If sufficient funding is quickly secured, this state-of-the-art zeroemission bus facility and possible future mobility hub could be completed by as early as 2027. Regardless, a new facility will be needed by about 2030 to $47,500,000 Federal, State,

Forest Biomass Business Center Development – Camptonville Camptonville Community Partnership (CCP), is a small, rural, communitybased non-profit organization located in the town of Camptonville in the Yuba County foothills that proposes to develop a small forest biomass to energy facility that would be part of a new small business campus, located in an unincorporated area approximately 11 miles southwest of Camptonville and 3 miles east of Dobbins. CCP intends to attract other businesses to the site, where heat and power would be available from the facility making the overall facility a high efficiency combined heat and power operation.

In the Fall 2020, with funding from SNC and the CEC EPIC grant, CCP was able to complete the extensive preliminary design and engineering for the facility including bid packages for major equipment.

The planning and engineering solidified costs and site plans needed. Through 2021, CCP began working with their developer and design and engineering team. Inflation and rising costs required CCP to pivot in 2022 and re-evaluate and search for cost savings as well as the need to secure additional funding from investors and grant opportunities.
2023 Update:
● Entered into a land agreement for the purchase of an 100 acre parcel including the 11 acres for the current bioenergy site. ● Secured interest for the development of a co-located sawmill ● Secured a Timberland Conversion Permit (TCP):

Converting timberland into another use requires a TCP from Cal Fire.

A part of the TCP process also includes preparation of a Timber Harvest Plan (THP). Converting timberland into another use requires a Timberland Conversion Permit (TCP) from Cal Fire. A part of the TCP process also includes preparation of a Timber Harvest Plan (THP).

The creation of a collaborative research opportunity with Beale AFB, the US Air Force, the Yuba Water Agency, City of Wheatland, and the University of California. The facility could serve as an educational, workforce training, and advanced research hub. Initially, the workforce at the collaborative facility would consist primarily of PhD level researchers, but also development of BA level and even high school educational programs as the facility expands to its full mission. This creates a significant opportunity for the City of Wheatland and Yuba County to create an innovation center and technology node.

Three Rivers Parkway System Development
The Three Rivers Parkway is envisioned as a multi-modal active transportation and recreation system encompassing as many as 40 miles of hiking, bike and equestrian trails and boat access along the Yuba, Feather and Bear Rivers. The northern terminus would be the Sycamore Ranch County Regional Park on the Yuba River. The trail would extend along the northern bank of the Yuba River to Marysville and would connect to the Sutter County trail system over the rehabilitated former railroad trestle on the Feather River. The trail would cross the Yuba River over the SR 70 bridge and continue south along the Feather River past Star Bend boat ramp to the junction with the Bear River. It would then extend east along the Bear River and possibly Dry Creek into downtown Wheatland. Future phases may connect up to the Spenceville Wilderness Area. The River Parkway is anticipated to be a major draw for tourism in Yuba County, creating opportunities for additional lodging and restaurants, equipment rental concessions, recreational equipment sales, guide services and retail spending from visitors.

Atmospheric River Control Spillway at New Bullard’s Bar Dam Yuba Water Agency Board of Directors authorized design of an estimated $225 million Atmospheric River Control Spillway at New Bullards Bar Dam to help reduce flood risk in Yuba County. The spillway is one piece of a three-part initiative that will significantly reduce flood risk and improve public safety in Yuba County and nearby communities. The effort includes the development of Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations for the Yuba and Feather rivers and an update to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ water control manual for New Bullards Bar, which guides flood operations for the dam. Together, the trio of projects will allow Yuba Water to better predict large, threatening storms and release water from New Bullards Bar before dangerous weather hits, while there is still plenty of capacity downstream. 2022-2023 Update: Yuba Water is now working with a team of engineers to bring the project to a 100 percent design phase and is exploring potential partners to collaborate on this important multi-benefit project. Construction on the new spillway is expected to take three to four years. Both the cost and schedule are rough estimates at this time but are expected to be more clearly defined as the project is further designed. The agency is currently exploring additional funding partners for this critical project $240,000,000 YWA 2027

Yuba Water Agency and its partners are in the planning process on a Water Education Center along the Yuba River to educate Yuba County students and residents about the value of the area’s water resources, from farming to hydropower, the environment and more. It is anticipated that this will be a multi-million-dollar project, with long-term funding requirements of several hundred thousand dollars per year for operations and maintenance, however the Yuba Water Agency Board of Directors has not yet determined what the overall scope of the project will be. If the community expresses interest in such a facility, Yuba Water Agency will seek supplemental funding support from grants and interested private industry partners.

Yuba River North Training Wall
The Yuba Goldfields North Training Wall (NTW) is located on the right bank of the Yuba River, approximately eight miles northeast of the city of Marysville in Yuba County. The NTW is approximately 12,000 feet in length, it was constructed by the California Debris Commission in 1899 to confine the Yuba River and to facilitate the migration of mining debris within the floodway. The use of mining tailings was used to construct the NTW and although not an authorized flood control project, it does provide limited flood protection for the community of Hallwood. However, there have been changes over time, changes both in height and width due in part to erosion from high-water events, such as in 2017 and 2018, when Hallwood experienced localized shallow flooding. The project is being constructed in two phases. 2022-2023 Update: The project is being constructed in two phases. Phase I work was completed in early 2022 and included reshaping the NTW embankment to provide a more stable geometry and address the height and width reductions that had occurred over time and ongoing, persistent erosion from storm events. Phase II work, indicated in blue on the map, includes construction of a high ground tie-in embankment to extend to the north end of the NTW upstream and for a contiguous line of protection that further reduces flood risk to the Hallwood community, the City of Marysville, and portions of Reclamation District 10. The Phase II project, which is still under design, will include potential ecological enhancement components: riparian aquatic habitat creation, fish passage enhancement, and salmonid foraging enhancement.

Spenceville Road Rehabilitation (joint City/County project) Spenceville Road is a two-lane arterial facility connecting Beale Air Force Base and State Route 65 through the City of Wheatland. The project will provide rehabilitation, restoration and resurfacing to approximately 7 miles of roadway between Main Street and Beale Air Force Base. This two-lane roadway provides access to City, County and Air Force Base residents as well as general traffic and school buses that access Beale Air Force Base.

The proposed project site follows a level to gently rolling terrain that lends to higher than posted speeds and numerous speed related accidents. Traffic counts range from 3,200 vehicles per day on Main Street east of SR 65 to 3,100 vehicles per day on Spenceville Road west of Japer Lane. The majority of the traffic counts can be attribute to Beale Air Force Base due to the geography of the road and connectivity to the Base.

The rehabilitation of this project is essential to continue providing access to the public and to Beale Air Force Base. This roadway helps to generate revenue for local business in the area. Spenceville Road is eligible to receive funding under the California Federal Lands Access Program (CA FLAP) which provides funds for transportation facilities that provide access to or are located on or adjacent to Federal Lands.
2022 UPDATE: FLAP applications will be due in May 2021. The city of Wheatland was notified in November 2021 FLAP funds were not awarded and is seeking other funding.

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: April 4, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Finance/IT Department
Presentation By: Spencer Morrison, Finance Director
Summary
Subject: Unfunded Accrued Pension Liability Management Policy Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution to approve the Unfunded Accrued Pension Liability Management Policy for the City of Yuba City
Fiscal Impact: Potential and eventual increase in pension assets which will reduce the unfunded actuarial liability for the City of Yuba City and improve the City’s net position
Purpose:

Provide City Council and staff a policy to formalize and guide the City’s intent to reduce the unfunded accrued liability (UAL).

Council's Strategic Goal:

This item supports the City Council priority of fiscal responsibility by providing a tool that guides UAL management.

Background:

The City of Yuba City currently has a contract with the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) to provide retirement benefits for employees. As part of the contract, the City is obligated to pay any unfunded accrued liability (UAL). This is the amount by which CalPERS is short of the amount that will be necessary, without further payments from the City, to pay benefits already earned by current and former employees covered by CalPERS (collectively, the “UAL Obligation”).

Analysis:

Each year, the possibility exists that CalPERS will accrue new pension liabilities due to several factors, including:
• Changes in actuarial assumptions and experience changes (e.g., changes in the discount rate, changes in demographic experience, etc.).
• Changes in actuarial gains and losses due to asset returns being higher or lower than expected.

• Changes in plan benefits.

On June 30 of each year, CALPERS completes a new actuarial valuation that will provide the City with a calculation of the City’s total pension liability as of the new valuation date. Based on that annual valuation report, the City will then know whether it has developed any new UAL at that point in time.

In an effort to ensure that any future pension liabilities do not grow to unmanageable levels, staff has developed a proposed Unfunded Accrued Liability Management Policy (the “UAL Management Policy”) for Council consideration. If approved, the UAL Management Policy would require that any new increase or decrease in the liability resulting from the annual CalPERS actuarial valuation be explicitly identified each year during the budget cycle, and that the City consider making discretionary contributions with City resources (or other legally available resources), with the objectives of increasing each of the Pension Plan’s funded status, by reducing the unfunded actuarially accrued liability, and reducing ongoing pension costs.

The UAL Management Policy will also provide guidance in making annual budget decisions, demonstrate prudent financial management practices, help create fiscally sustainable budgets for pensions in future years, and help reassure bond rating agencies and investors that the City is being proactive in the management of its fiscal affairs.

Fiscal Impact:

Potential and eventual increase in pension assets which will reduce the unfunded actuarial liability for the City of Yuba City and improve the City’s net position.

Alternatives:

1. Approve the policy with additional direction for staff.

2. Do not approve the policy and provide alternative directions to staff.

3. Do not approve the policy and allow maximum flexibility for future staff and City Councils with no formal guidance.

Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution to approve the Unfunded Accrued Pension Liability Management Policy for the City of Yuba City.

UNFUNDED ACCRUED LIABILITY PENSION MANAGEMENT POLICY
Date: MM DD YYYY Page | 1
Section 1. Purpose
The purpose of this Unfunded Accrued Liability Pension Management Policy (the “Policy”) is to strategically address the existing and any future unfunded accrued liability (the “UAL”) associated with the City of Yuba City’s (the “City”) California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) pension plans (the “Pension Plans”). This Policy also addresses some of the principal elements and core parameters central to the policy objectives discussed in this Policy. In the development of this Policy, the City strives to reduce its UAL and the associated financing costs in the most cost-efficient and fiscally responsible manner possible.

The City is committed to fiscal sustainability by employing long-term financial planning efforts, maintaining appropriate reserve levels, and employing prudent practices in governance, management, budget administration, and financial reporting. This Policy is intended to make all relevant information readily available to decision-makers and the public to improve the quality of decisions, identify policy goals, and to demonstrate a commitment to long-term financial planning. Adherence to this Policy signals to rating agencies and capital markets that the City is well managed and able to meet its obligations in a timely manner.

The Policy is intended to reflect a reasonable and conservative approach to managing the UAL costs associated with the Pension Plans. This Policy recognizes that the Pension Plans are subject to market volatility and that actual economic and demographic experience of the plans will differ from the actuarial assumptions. Accordingly, it is intended to allow for adaptive responses to changing circumstances, providing flexibility to address such volatility in a financially sound manner. As such, the City is required to continually monitor its Pension Plans and the corresponding UAL.

Section 2. Policy Goals and Objectives
The overarching goals and objectives of this Policy are as follows:
• Establish, attain, and maintain targeted pension plan funding levels • Provide sufficient assets to permit the payment of all benefits under the Pension Plans • Seek to manage and control future contribution volatility to the extent reasonably possible • Strive to make Annual Discretionary Payments to accelerate UAL pay-down, reduce interest costs, and stabilize future payments
• Maintain the City’s sound financial position and creditworthiness • Provide guidance in making annual budget decisions
• Create sustainable and fiscally sound future budgets
• Demonstrate prudent financial management practices
• Ensure that pension funding decisions protect both current and future stakeholders • Create transparency as to how and why the Pensions Plans are funded

UNFUNDED ACCRUED LIABILITY PENSION MANAGEMENT POLICY

Section 3. Background and Discussion
In General. Each Pension Plan is a multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the California Public Employee Retirement System (“CalPERS”). All full-time and certain part-time City employees are eligible to participate in the CalPERS retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits offered to plan members and their beneficiaries. CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute.

The financial objective of a defined benefit pension plan is to fund the long-term cost of benefits provided to the plan participants. In order to assure its financial soundness and sustainability, the plan should accumulate adequate resources in a systematic and disciplined manner to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet employee benefit requirements. This Policy outlines the practices the City will utilize to address its actuarially determined contributions to fund the long-term cost of benefits to the Pension Plan participants and annuitants.

Pension Costs and Liabilities. In order to fund its employees’ pension benefits, the City is required to make contributions (a portion of which may come from the employees) to CalPERS. CalPERS then invests these contributions to generate returns to help fund the pension benefits. The regular required contributions, known as the “normal cost,” are calculated as a percent of salaries and represent the annual cost of service accrual for the upcoming fiscal year for active employees. If, for any reason, the actual Pension Plan experience and investment performance fall short of the actuarial assumptions, the Pension Plan can become underfunded (i.e., the Pension Plan’s Normal Accrued Liability exceeds the Plan’s market value of assets). This shortfall is known as the Unfunded Accrued Liability (the “UAL”) and usually has to be covered by the City through a series of UAL Payments, which are above and beyond the “normal cost” contributions. The UAL Payments are calculated in total dollar amounts, not as a percent of salaries.

The UAL can be caused by multiple factors, including but not limited to, changes to CalPERS’ actuarial amortization policy, retroactive pension benefit enhancements, investment underperformance, actuarial assumption changes, demographic factors, and discount rate reductions.

UAL is Debt. The UAL balance at any given point in time is a debt of the City owed to CalPERS which is amortized over a set period of time with interest accruing at the then current CalPERS discount rate (the “Discount Rate”). However, this debt can be prepaid at any time without penalties. Recognizing the UAL as debt helps the City identify proper steps to address it and minimize the associated financing costs.

Ongoing CalPERS Practices. Every year CalPERS prepares updated actuarial valuation reports for each of the City’s Pension Plans wherein it calculates the City’s total pension liability as of the end of the prior fiscal year (each a “Valuation Report”). If the investment performance during that fiscal year was different from the Discount Rate, or if CalPERS made any changes to its actuarial assumptions, or if the actual demographic or compensation experience within the Pension Plans was different from the actuarial assumptions, new line items, or UAL amortization “bases,” may be added to the plan and result in a change to the UAL balance.

Such UAL amortization bases may be positive (indicating funding shortfall for the Pension Plans) or negative (indicating funding surplus for the Pension Plans). Since CalPERS can add new UAL amortization bases every year, the Pension Plans must be monitored annually and managed continually – there is no one-time solution.

CITY OF YUBA CITY

UNFUNDED ACCRUED LIABILITY PENSION MANAGEMENT POLICY
Date: MM DD YYYY Page | 3
CalPERS has adopted the UAL amortization methods that were meant to help public agencies “ease into” paying for the UAL increases. New UAL amortization bases are implemented incrementally, with a five-year ramp-up period, and at times include additional small increases in each of the subsequent years. The ramp-up period, while reducing the cash flow impact in the near term, increases the overall UAL repayment costs for the City by delaying repayment. Since the UAL balances accrue interest at the rate that is equal to the then current Discount Rate, the delayed payments prior to the commencement of the amortization and the reduced payments during the ramp-up period that do not fully cover the interest costs result in negative amortization, causing further increases to the UAL balance. To help reduce the overall costs of the UAL repayment, this Policy encourages level annual payments (i.e., no ramp-up) whenever possible.

Section 4. Policy
A. Funding Level Objective. It is the City’s policy to strive to achieve and maintain a Pension “Funded Ratio” (being the ratio by which the Market Value of Assets—as set forth in the most recently published Valuation Report--exceeds the Entry Age Normal Accrued Liability or “EANAL”—as set forth in the most recently published Valuation Report) for each Pension Plan of 85%, but never dropping below 80% (the “Funding Level Objective”).

Funding Level Objective = 85%
Achieving and maintaining the 85% Funding Level Objective ensures that the ongoing contributions of the City and its employees, and therefore the taxpayer funds, are properly and adequately funding the retirement benefits of retirees and today’s workers. This concept is commonly referred to as the intergenerational equity.

Falling short of this funded level forces future City Council to pay the costs of the poor planning and execution of today’s Pension Plans. The reason for a Funding Level Objective of 85% rather than 100% is to allow some cushion for the possibility that good investment returns by CalPERS in a given year might push the Funded Ratio of a Pension Plan above 100% (commonly referred to as “superfunded status”), which means that the City and its employees had contributed into the Pension Plan more than was necessary. Thus, while the City remains committed to maintaining a 100% funded level, it shall manage the 15% differential (i.e., the difference between 85% and 100%) through its own investment process by creating the “Pension Rate Stabilization Fund” discussed herein.

Guidance: To achieve the Funding Level Objective, this Policy provides the following guidance:

1. Pre-Pay the Entire Annual UAL Payment by July 31st of each year. On or before July 1st of each year, the City receives its annual CalPERS UAL invoice. The City has two payments options. The invoice can (1) be paid in equal monthly increments or (2) be fully pre-paid at the beginning of the fiscal year by July 31st. By prepaying the entire invoice amount due by July 31st, the City can concurrently save approximately 3.3% compared to making the monthly payments. As such, every effort should be made to pre-pay the UAL payment upon receipt of the annual invoice.

2. Pre-Pay UAL from Reserves, One-Time Revenues and Fund Surpluses. Reserves (often invested in LAIF) regularly do not earn returns that can offset the interest rate that CalPERS charges on the outstanding UAL balance. Supplemental contributions into the Pension Plans from available reserves, one-time revenues and fund surpluses can generate substantial longPage 2768 of 2775

CITY OF YUBA CITY

UNFUNDED ACCRUED LIABILITY PENSION MANAGEMENT POLICY
Date: MM DD YYYY Page | 4
term net savings. Each supplemental contribution, referred to by CalPERS as an Additional Discretionary Payment (ADP), reduces the UAL balance, the Annual Required Contributions (ARC) for future years, and the total interest costs associated with the UAL. CalPERS does not apply any prepayment penalties to ADPs. Therefore, during each budget cycle, the City staff shall review all available reserves, one-time revenues and fund surpluses to determine whether any such funds could be used to make an ADP to pay down the UAL, keeping in mind operational and capital budgetary constraints while maintaining adequate reserves and balancing the fiscal soundness of eliminating the high-interest UAL debt. ADPs should not adversely affect the general operations and fiscal soundness of the City.

3. Capital Financing. When considering capital projects, staff regularly reviews and plans for reserving capital to cash fund current and future projects. When considering how to pay for current and future capital projects, staff should review the current tax-exempt market to assess if it would be more cost effective to borrow at tax-exempt rates to pay for the capital projects and redirect the reserved funding (and/or such other appropriate funds of the City) to make ADPs to CalPERS.

If there are projected cost savings by using this method, and a capital financing strategy is to be implemented, the City Council would need to approve of the ADPs being paid to CalPERS prior to the financing to ensure that the annual savings generated by implementing the strategy are applied to UAL paydowns.

4. Utilize Savings Achieved from Refunding Outstanding Non-Pension Related Debt to Pre-Pay UAL. During each budget cycle, staff should review all outstanding long-term non-pension related debt of the City to determine whether a refunding of such debt might result in net present value (NPV) savings of greater than 3%, and if so, consider a structure and strategy that frontloads the savings from such debt refunding, which can then be used to pay down the UAL.

This strategy should only be used if the interest rates on the currently outstanding debt is sufficiently below the then-current Discount Rate to ensure that overall NPV savings of greater than 3% are achieved by the City.

5. Sources of Revenue. All fees, rates and charges should incorporate full allocation of pension costs for employees providing associated services. While some funds cannot contribute more than their fair share (i.e., enterprise funds), they should not contribute less than their fair share.

Staff shall review allocation of labor costs to proprietary and other funds to ensure full reimbursement of the pension cost burden. Staff shall provide, or cause to be provided, consistent and well-documented methodology for pension cost allocation to all funds.

6. Pension Obligation Financing. The City shall consider issuing taxable municipal debt obligations (generically hereafter referred to as “Pension Obligations”) to refinance the UAL, in part or in whole, if such bond obligations are expected to produce minimum cash flow savings of at least 10%, taking into account all debt service and costs of issuance associated with such bond obligations, in comparison to CalPERS’ respective UAL amortization schedule and the then-current Discount Rate.

CITY OF YUBA CITY

UNFUNDED ACCRUED LIABILITY PENSION MANAGEMENT POLICY
Date: MM DD YYYY Page | 5
Pension Obligations shall not utilize swaps or derivatives of any kind and should be structured with reasonable and flexible call provisions (with a maximum of 10-year call provision).

Pension Obligations shall be used only to prepay the UAL liabilities and shall not be used to finance normal cost payments. The issuance of Pension Obligations must be voted upon and approved by the City Council.

7. Annual Review of the CalPERS Actuarial Valuation Reports and Associated Tasks. The City staff shall review or cause to be reviewed the annual CalPERS actuarial valuation reports within 30 days of their release by CalPERS, which usually takes place during the month of August. The review should focus on identifying the annual changes to each of the Pension Plans UAL and quantifying the associated cost implications and the corresponding impact on the Funded Ratio. Staff should annually reach out to the City’s CalPERS actuary to request a calculation of flat payments (rather than ramp-up payments) for all outstanding and new UAL amortization bases. In making ADPs, the City staff shall determine or cause to be determined the optimal application of the ADPs to the outstanding UAL amortization bases to achieve the Funding Level Objective as well as desired budgetary outcomes.

8. ADPs Shared Between All Benefiting City Funds. Whenever an ADP is made, the City will endeavor to ensure that all benefitting funds (the “Benefiting Funds”) contribute their fair share in accordance with the City’s allocation method of charging off its pension costs for each City fund.

B. Establishment and Operation of a Pension Rate Stabilization Fund.

1. Establishment of a Pension Rate Stabilization Fund. The City shall establish a Pension Rate Stabilization Fund, either self-managed or a Section 115 trust fund managed by a third-party investment manager (the “Investment Manager”). The Pension Rate Stabilization Fund will receive Sequestered Savings (defined below) and Sequestered Surplus (defined below) as well as any other funds deposited into it at the discretion of the City Council, based on recommendations made by the City staff during the annual budget process. Funds in the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund should only be used to manage the City’s pension benefits costs to maintain each of the Pension Plans at the Funding Level Objective in accordance with the goals and objectives set forth in this Policy.

2. Funding the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund.
(a) Sequestered Savings. Upon the issuance of each series of Pension Obligations, for each of the next ten (10) consecutive years (or such other period of years as deemed appropriate by the City Council at the time of any subsequent issuances of Pension Obligations) following such issuance, a fixed dollar amount equal to 50% (or such other percentage as deemed appropriate by the City Council at the time of any subsequent issuances of Pension Obligations) of the “Total Sequestered Savings” (as calculated in the manner set forth below) achieved by issuing Pension Obligations (the “Annual Sequestered Savings Savings”), shall be transferred from the Benefiting Funds (as established in section A8 above) and deposited into the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund until such time that the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund reaches the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund Maximum (as outlined in section B3 below), and thereafter all

CITY OF YUBA CITY

UNFUNDED ACCRUED LIABILITY PENSION MANAGEMENT POLICY
Date: MM DD YYYY Page | 6
Sequestered Savings will be directed to a “Pension Obligation Prepayment Fund” which will be established and maintained by the City for the purpose of prepaying any outstanding Pension Obligations.

Example of Annual Sequestered Savings Calculation
A $5M Pension Obligation was issued in 2022 for the purpose of prepaying UAL. The total UAL debt service (UALDS) paid off with the Pension Obligation was $8,000,000 and the total debt service (DS) on the Pension Obligation is $7,000,000. The City elected to sequester 50% of the total savings over a 10-year period (Y), which in this example results in an Annual Sequestered Savings of $50,000.

𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑒𝑞. 𝑆𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 = 0.5𝑥(
8,000,000 − 7,000,000
10 )
= $50,000
(b) Sequestered Surplus. Each Fiscal Year during the City’s normal budget adoption process, beginning with the 2022-23 Fiscal year budget, and for each of the following 9 years, a percent between 0% and 33% of any available surplus from the prior Fiscal Year (the “Sequestered Surplus”) shall be set aside, transferred and deposited into the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund.
(c) Annual Contribution relative to Normal Cost. Recognizing the benefit of long-term returns and the variability of investment performance over time, the City may contribute funds to the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund proportional to the Normal Cost contributions to CalPERS. Each Fiscal Year during the City’s normal budget adoption process, beginning with the 2022-23 Fiscal Year budget, the City will plan to contribute amounts to the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund that are the equivalent to 15% of that year’s Normal Cost. These contributions may be made with whatever interval that is most advantageous to the City with preference for payments being made earlier in the Fiscal Year rather than later.

CITY OF YUBA CITY

UNFUNDED ACCRUED LIABILITY PENSION MANAGEMENT POLICY
Date: MM DD YYYY Page | 7

3. Operation of the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund. Sequestered Surplus and Sequestered Savings (and any other amounts contributed by the City) shall be deposited in the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund and used solely for the purpose of making ADP’s (and Normal Cost payments during a Fiscal Hardship, and/or to the extent the amount therein exceeds the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund Maximum, as described below) to CalPERS for the purpose of achieving and maintaining Funding Level Objective.

With the goal of achieving and maintaining the Funding Level Objective, each year during the budget cycle, City staff shall calculate, or cause to be calculated, the upcoming Fiscal Year’s estimated Funded Ratio by taking into account the most recent Valuation Report’s statement of Funded Ratio and adjusting for the estimated UAL amortization base that will be either added or subtracted due to the prior Fiscal Year’s investment result of either exceeding or falling short of the then current Discount Rate for that Fiscal Year (the “Estimated Funded Ratio”). If the Estimated Funded Ratio is estimated to be less than the Funding Level Objective, to the extent funds are available in the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund, the appropriate member of staff shall either make, or shall direct the Investment Manger to make, an ADP to CalPERS in the amount necessary to bring the Funded Ratio back up to the Funding Level Objective. Additionally, if sufficient funds are available in the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund, staff shall assess whether to fully amortize any new UAL amortization bases in order to reduce the long-term interest costs associated with the “ramping” procedures used by CalPERS.

Moneys in the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund shall not be used for normal costs until such time as the amount therein, when combined with the Market Value of Assets (as set forth in the most recently published Valuation Report) exceeds the Entry Age Normal Accrued Liability (as set forth in the most recently published Valuation Report) by 110% (the “Pension Rate Stabilization Fund Maximum”). To the extent monies in the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund on June 31st exceed the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund Maximum (after consideration has been given to the amounts therein required to be paid to CalPERS for the ensuing Fiscal Year to maintain the Estimated Funded Ratio at or above the Funding Level Objective), any accrued surplus over 110% may be used to offset the City’s Normal Cost payment made to CalPERS in such Fiscal Year, and any Sequestered Savings will be directed to the Bond Call Fund.

4. Fiscal Hardship. In the event of a Fiscal Hardship (as defined below), transfers of Sequestered Savings may be abated and/or the Pension Rate Stabilization Fund may be utilized for either normal or UAL costs until the Fiscal Hardship is no longer in effect. “Fiscal Hardship” means an economic hardship, or other unanticipated fiscal emergency, that has been declared by resolution of the City Council.

C. Transparency and Reporting. Funding of the Pension Plans should be transparent to all stakeholders, including plan participants, annuitants, the City Council, and City residents. To achieve this Policy objective, copies of the annual actuarial valuation reports for each Pension Plan shall be made available to the City Council and shall be posted on the City’s website. The City’s audited financial statements shall also be posted on the City’s website because they include, among other things, information on the City’s current and future annual Pension Plan contributions as well as the funded status of each Pension Plan.
