COUNCIL PRIORITY

                     Fiscal Sustainability and Transparency

 

SUMMARY

The City budgets on a biennial cycle every two years.  At the mid-point of each biennial, staff reviews revenues and expenditures while evaluating priorities and services to formulate a mid-cycle budget adjustment.  The Amended Fiscal Years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 City Budget presents adjustments for the City Council Finance Committee to consider for subsequent City Council action.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

 

Staff recommends the City Council Finance Committee review and recommend approval of the proposed Amended Fiscal Years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 City Budget including revenue and expenditure appropriations.  The City Council will consider the Finance Committee’s budget recommendations at the May 20, 2024 meeting.

 

BACKGROUND

 

The City Council approved the biennial 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service Funds budgets on May 15, 2023.  The approved biennial budget is the City’s plan for resource allocations that guides and insures implementation of City Council policies and priorities. The budget implements the City Council’s vision and direction for the broad range of services meeting the needs of the community.

 

The budget further aligns with the City Council’s goals.

 

                     Place San Leandro on a firm foundation for long-term fiscal sustainability.

                     Advance projects and programs promoting sustainable economic development, including transforming San Leandro into a center for innovation.

                     Provide quality public safety service and grow our partnership with the community to keep San Leandro safe.

                     Maintain and enhance San Leandro’s infrastructure.

                     Support and implement programs, activities and strengthen communication that enhances the quality of life and wellness, celebrates the arts and diversity, and promotes civic pride.

                     Maintain and support a strong positive relationship between the City, schools, and the educational community.

                     Promote and maintain an inclusive work environment that values employees and volunteer contributions, supports professional growth and development, and fosters a culture of kindness and collaboration in the delivery of services to our community.

 

In May 2023, the City Council approved a budget that the City Manager proposed to address City Council priorities and community needs.

 

 “ The proposed biennial budget for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 promotes the continuity of existing services and the investment in the basics that serve our community.  The proposed budget comprises a stable revenue platform and describes a work program and expenditure plan supporting continued delivery of all regular City programs, services, and planned projects for the community.  The budget also proposes enhancing services in key program areas related to workforce investment, infrastructure assessment, community engagement, economic development, and public safety.”

 

The City has experienced mixed revenue trends in the current fiscal year, which will impact the sustainability of service provision.  Sales tax, which is the City’s top revenue source and is susceptible to economic cycles, is trending minimally higher than what was budgeted.  Property transfer tax has seen a great negative impact as a result of market conditions where high lending rates have led to a combination of lower purchasing power for homebuyers and decreased inventory as a result of fewer existing homeowners seeking to upgrade to new or larger homes.  Other revenue sources have experienced increases, namely utility users tax and fees.  Staff will continue to monitor revenues closely to evaluate the impact from inflation, supply chain shortages, consumer confidence, and other key market conditions.

 

While revenue growth is expected to be steady in the short term, financial obligations exist for the City.  The amounts below represent estimates for the City’s key obligations. 

 

                     $241,000,000 in Pension Liability

                     $4,500,000 in Retiree Healthcare Liability

                     $180,000,000 for Road Pavement

                     $17,000,000 for City Buildings and Facilities Needs

                     $2,000,000 for Tree Replacement

 

The City Council has taken steps to fund the City’s unfunded pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liabilities, including the establishment of trust accounts and additional contributions to CalPERS.  The adoption of the Prioritizing Unfunded Liability Liquidation Plan (PULL) in 2015 has put the City in a great position in terms of building assets.  The City Council has also adopted an OPEB and Pension Funding Policy to fully fund these obligations over time.

 

In terms of capital related projects, the City Council continues to direct available resources to fund the various programs.  The City also pursues grant opportunities on an ongoing basis.  The General Fund budget contains one-time investments to the streets and roads program, and a comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan to address the City’s overall funding needs.  Funding strategies will be formulated for short-and long-term needs and incorporated into future budgets.

 

Analysis

 

The General Fund finances operations of the City that have no special or dedicated revenue sources and pays for basic municipal services.  General Fund Adjusted Budget expenditures with proposed budget adjustments total $160,118,000 for 2023-2024 and $149,913,000 for 2024-2025 as shown in Attachment 1.  Adjusted Budget estimated revenues with proposed budget adjustments are in the amounts of $139,972,000 for 2023-2024 and $144,273,000 for 2024-2025 and finance the anticipated expenditures. 

 

The proposed adjustments to the General Fund budget include increases in revenue and expenditure appropriations.  Adjusted Budget revenues are increased in 2023-2024 by $1,944,000 and in 2024-2025 by $3,331,000, with higher projected property tax, utility users tax, and other revenues covering a decline in property transfer tax.  Adjusted Budget expenditure appropriations are increased by similar amounts to support services, programs, and priorities.

 

A detailed review of revenue and expenditure appropriation adjustments are presented below.  Attachments B, C, D, and E summarizes these adjustments for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025.

 

General Fund

 

General Fund Revenues

 

The 2023-2024 Adjusted Budget appropriates total revenues of $139,972,000, an increase of $1,944,000, and the 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget appropriates total revenues of $144,273,000, an increase of $3,331,000.  The General Fund tax revenue increases relate mostly to growth in Property Taxes and Utility User Taxes.  Adjustments additionally are proposed for Sales Tax, Franchise Fees, Charges for Services and Interest & Property Income.  Please refer to Attachments A and B for the details of the adjusted budget revenue increase in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025.

 

                     Sales/Transaction and Use Tax (2023-2024 Adjusted Budget $56,112,000, adjusted by $264,000, 0.4% increase above Amended Budget of $55,848,000; 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $58,045,000, adjusted by $629,000, 1% increase above Amended Budget of $57,416,000)-After a period of high sales tax growth during the pandemic years, the City has been experiencing slower sales tax growth.  Recent data shows a decrease in business activity from General Retail, Transportation, and Construction sectors.  However, business activity has increased in the Food Products and Business to Business sectors.  Overall, the Bay Area region is expected to see an annual change in sales tax receipts ranging from a -0.9% decrease to a 1% increase, while the City is projected to see an annual increase ranging from 0.1% to 1.1%.  Sales and Transaction and Use taxes combined are the City’s largest revenue source comprising 40% of revenues.

 

                     Property Tax (2023-2024 Adjusted Budget $30,296,000, adjusted by $1,337,000, 4% increase above Amended Budget of $28,959,000; 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $31,267,000, adjusted by $1,460,000, 4% increase above Amended Budget of $29,807,000)-Adjusted budget revenue related to a steady trend of increasing assessed property values.  The real estate market is experiencing high lending rates and low inventory.  These conditions have tightened the market, contributing to a normal trend of assessed value increases.

 

                     Property Transfer Tax (2023-2024 Adjusted Budget $8,100,000, reduced by $2,900,000, 26% decrease below Amended Budget of $11,000,000; 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $8,750,000, reduced by $2,250,000, 20% decrease below Amended Budget of $11,000,000)-While high lending rates and low inventory have led to strength in the valuation side of the real estate market, the resulting tight market has led to a combination of lower purchasing power for homebuyers and fewer existing homeowners seeking to upgrade to new or larger homes.  This, in turn, has led to reduced inventory in the real estate market.  Additionally, higher lending rates have made acquisition of larger properties more expensive.  These factors have led to fewer property transfers, particularly larger properties, resulting in a 26% decline in Property Transfer Tax receipts in the current year.

 

                     Utility Users Tax (2023-2024 Adjusted Budget $12,647,000, adjusted by $1,341,000, 12% increase above Amended Budget of $11,306,000; 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $12,812,000, adjusted by $1,387,000, 12% increase above Amended Budget of $11,425,000)-Adjusted Budget revenue increase related to higher revenue from gas and electric and telephone services as projected by the City’s consultant, Avenu Insights.  Utility costs in general have increased due to market factors and inflation, which result in higher UUT revenue.  The increased projections are in line with historical actuals received by the City.

 

                     Franchise Fees (2023-2024 Adjusted Budget $6,267,000, adjusted by $535,000, 9% increase above Amended Budget of $5,732,000; 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $6,492,000, adjusted by $630,000, 11% increase above Amended Budget of $11,425,000)-Adjusted Budget revenue increase related to higher revenue from franchise holders for utility services.  Franchise agreements typically require the franchise holder to remit a percentage of their revenues to the City.  Utility costs in general have increased due to market factors and inflation, which result in higher Franchise Fee revenue.  The increased projections are in line with historical actuals received by the City.

 

                     Interest & Property Income (2023-2024 Adjusted Budget $3,151,000, adjusted by $570,000, 22% increase above Amended Budget of $2,581,000; 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $3,011,000, adjusted by $387,000, 15% increase above Amended Budget of $2,624,000)-Adjusted Budget revenue increase related to higher investment returns due to a combination of a larger investment balance and higher investment rates yielding greater returns.  Additionally, rental activity at the Marina Community Center has increased, resulting in greater rental revenue.

 

                     Charges for Services (2023-2024 Adjusted Budget $2,578,000, adjusted by $354,000, 16% increase above Amended Budget of $2,224,000; 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $2,692,000, adjusted by $298,000, 12% increase above Amended Budget of $2,394,000)-Adjusted Budget revenue increases related to higher revenue from Community Development planning services and Recreation programs.

 

                     Other Revenues (2023-2024 Adjusted Budget $14,507,000, adjusted by $443,000, 3% increase above Amended Budget of $14,064,000; 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $14,784,000, adjusted by $790,000, 6% increase above Amended Budget of $13,994,000)-Other revenue adjustments are proposed in the areas of licensing, fees, intergovernmental, and transfers.  These adjustments are the result of reviewing historical receipts and trends to align the budget with achievable revenue figures.

 

 

 

General Fund Expenditures

 

The 2023-2024 Adjusted Budget appropriates total expenditures of $160,118,000, an increase of $2,446,000, and the 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget appropriates total expenditures of $149,913,000, an increase of $3,331,000.  Adjusted Budget expenditure appropriations increases are proposed to address departmental requests for changes in service levels and increases in internal allocations to the City’s Internal Service Funds.  Please refer to Attachments C and E for the details of the adjusted budget expenditure increases in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025.

                     Finance (2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $4,762,000, adjusted by $20,000 above Amended Budget of $4,742,000)- Adjusted Budget expenditure appropriation to convert an Account Clerk position to an Administrative Assistant II position.  There is a small savings ($2,243) to this change, which will provide adequate administrative support to the Finance Department.  The proposed adjustment also includes technical corrections to adjust pension costs ($22,150).

 

                     Police (2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $45,657,000, adjusted by $696,000 above Amended Budget of $44,961,000)-Adjusted Budget expenditure reallocations to fund a technology based tool focused on de-escalation techniques to reduce use-of-force incidents ($45,000) and emergency management software ($6,500).  This is a reallocation of salary savings, which does not add costs to the budget.  The proposed adjustment also includes technical corrections to adjust pension costs ($210,016) and align its vacancy rate to a more accurate level ($486,000).

                     Transfers (2023-2024 Adjusted Budget $13,321,000, adjusted by $1,579,000 above Amended Budget of $11,742,000 and 2024-2025 Adjusted Budget $5,986,000, adjusted by $98,000 above Amended Budget of $5,888,000)-Adjusted Budget expenditure appropriation increases related to transfers from the General Fund to the Information Technology Fund ($836,500 for 2023-2024 and $73,700 for 2024-2025), the Insurance Services Fund ($128,900 for 2023-2024 and $3,800 for 2024-2025), the Equipment Maintenance Fund ($100,000 for 2023-2024 and $4,900 for 2024-2025), and the Capital Improvement Fund ($513,211 for 2023-2024 and $15,700 for 2024-2025).

 

The City Council initially adopted the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 expenditure appropriations based on the best projections available in the Spring of 2023.  Since that time, conditions have changed and an amendment is required to the previously approved General Fund expenditure levels. These revisions are necessary to maintain current operations and enhance service levels in some areas.

 

Maintaining current operations and service levels in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 also require adjustments to revenue appropriations and expenditure appropriations in Enterprise & Internal Service Funds and Special Revenue Funds.

Proposed adjustments to both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service Funds budget are incorporated in the staff report.  The 2023-2024 General Fund Adjusted Budget appropriates total revenues of $139,972,000 and total expenditures of $160,118,000.  The 2024-2025 General Fund Adjusted Budget appropriates total revenues of $144,273,000 and total expenditures of $149,913,000.  There are no new uses of reserves with this proposed action.

 

Maintaining current operations and service levels in 2024-2025 also requires adjustments to revenue appropriations and expenditure appropriations in Enterprise & Internal Service Funds and Special Revenue Funds as described in the staff report.
