SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
SUMMARY:
This report presents the final proposed citywide budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23, beginning July 1,
2022, and ending June 30, 2023. This item is the culmination of a budget process that included several
internal discussions of the assumptions underlying the draft budget and the City’s goals and objectives.
In addition, the preliminary Capital Improvement Program was presented to the City Council on May 16,
2022, for feedback and discussion.
For the FY 2022-23 budget, ongoing General Fund operational expenditures are supported by current
period revenues. The spending plans of all other funds are supported by projected revenues and
accumulated resources in their respective funds. Proposed appropriations citywide total $166,109,509
and are within the legal spending limit.
Due to rising costs, particularly of staff salaries, there is a need to increase childcare fees to ensure the
program’s sustainability. The proposed 5% increase would help ensure the long-term viability of the City’s
childcare programs and keep fees at affordable levels compared with comparable operations in the
region.
BACKGROUND:
This report will focus on the following:
1. Brief overview of FY 2021-22 budget performance
2. Proposed Goals and Objectives for FY 2022-23
3. Proposed Operating and Capital Budget presented for all City funds for FY 2022-23
4. FY 2022-23 Appropriations Limit
5. Staffing updates and adjustments
6. Childcare fee budget and comparison
BUDGET ACTION
The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council and community with the final proposed citywide
budget for FY 2022-23.
The budget is both a spending plan for the City’s available financial resources and the legal authority for
City departments to spend these resources for public purposes. Through these resources, services are
provided to meet the needs of the community. The City Council and City staff respond to the community’s
needs in part through the budget, which is intended to balance not only revenues and costs, but also
community priorities.
Consistent with the direction provided by the City Council in May of 2014, the additional one-quarter
percent sales tax revenues provided by Measure E, effective April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2034, are
dedicated to funding major construction and improvements to public safety facilities (also referred to as
the San Rafael Essential Facilities project).
“GANN” APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (enacted with the passage of Proposition 4 in 1979 – the Gann
initiative – with modifications under Proposition 111 passed in June 1990, and implemented by California
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
Government Code sections 7900, and following) provides the basis for the Gann appropriation limitation.
The City’s appropriation growth rate is limited to changes in population and either the change in California
per capita income or the change in the local assessment roll due to new, non-residential construction.
ANALYSIS:
UPDATE ON CURRENT BUDGET/FISCAL YEAR 2021-22
General Fund
Revenues: The original FY 2021-22 budget, adopted on June 21, 2021, projected $87,861,080 in
revenues. The City worked with two revenue consulting companies (HdL and Management Partners)
and other local agencies to project revenues for FY 2021-22. Fortunately, the recovery from the
pandemic has outpaced projections and the mid-year budget review (updated budget) presented on
March 7, 2022, estimated an increase in revenues of $5,060,000 for a projected balance of $92,921,080
based on higher than anticipated sales and use tax receipts. Current revenues are projected to be
$93,160,919, which is $239,839, or 0.3% above the updated budget, based on activity through April
which is the most up to date information available. This is due to higher than anticipated Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) payments received from the County of $293,000 and Vehicle
License Fee remittances from the State of approximately $200,000. These increases are partially offset
by a reduction in estimated investment income as bond markets have declined in the second half of the
fiscal year and a reduction in estimated Transit Occupancy Tax that still lags the rest of the recovery.
Expenditures: As part of the approved FY 2021-22 budget, expenses were projected to be $87,562,734
as the City projected to ramp up activities following the slow-down resulting from the pandemic. During
the fiscal year, additional appropriations were requested totaling $1,083,374 to cover the repayment of
furloughs, additional overtime, and additional specialized wellness resources for Public Safety
employees. City Council also approved additional appropriations totaling $250,000 to stabilize the
Recreation Fund, as activities remain adversely affected from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The City performs bi-annual actuarial studies into both the Workers’ Compensation and Liability programs
to assess its ongoing self-insured exposure. Both actuarial studies were performed during the year
resulting in an increase in estimated outstanding losses of $2.8 million for Workers’ Compensation and
$0.6 million for Liability over the prior estimates. These losses are attributable to a few large claims and
follow a trend of declining total claims with rising severity on a per claim basis. The results of this study
translate into increasing the fund balance for the City’s Workers’ Compensation and Liability programs in
the amount of $2,100,000 and $600,000, respectively, to adequately prepare for future liabilities.
Operating results: The estimated increase to expenditures of the General Fund of $2,700,000 changes
the estimated positive net result of $3,779,994 to $1,319,833 for FY 2021-22. With the replenishment
of the Emergency Reserve Fund in the amount of $1,038,611 (in order to maintain the 10% reserve
level per City Council policy), net unassigned funds (otherwise known as surplus) are forecasted to be
$814,596 at year-end. See Table 1 for additional details.
Staff will formally request the aforementioned adjustments be made to the budget along with other
adjustments, if necessary, in September 2022 once the year-end update is presented to the City
Council.

Table 1: FY 2021-22 General Fund Estimated Overview
Other Funds
The evaluation of other funds will continue with the year-end close. Any required adjustments will be
presented to the City Council as part of the year-end update, presented in September 2022.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The City Council regularly establishes a set of goals, objectives, and key implementation tasks (Goals
and Objectives) that guide decision-making. Last year, the City created four new Policy Focus areas to
highlight overarching policy priorities while retaining five City Service Areas to highlight operational efforts
that are of particular focus. This year, the City Council elected to continue focusing on the goals and
objectives established for FY 2021-22 and has attached a status report (Attachment 1). Also highlighted
as part of the status report are 15 performance metrics that staff has identified and will start collecting,
measuring and analyzing in the next fiscal year in order to track progress towards the Council’s key policy
areas. The four Policy Focus areas and five City Service Areas are listed below:
Policy Focus Areas
• Economic Recovery: Building back our economy stronger and more resilient than before.
• Housing & Homelessness: Creating new housing, keeping people in their homes, and use a
“Housing First” model.
• Racial Equity: Working to achieve racial equity and advance opportunities for all.
• Sustainability, Climate Change & Disasters: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions while
mitigating and adapting to climate change.
City Service Areas
A. Neighborhood and Economic Vitality: Create and preserve a healthy economy and sustain vibrant
neighborhoods, Downtown, and other business areas.
B. Quality of Life: Serve and strengthen community relationships by providing literary, artistic,
recreational, and cultural experiences for all residents and improving resident engagement and
governmental transparency.

C. Public Safety: Prevent and respond to emergencies through essential facility improvements and
community and organizational emergency readiness.
D. Public Assets: Improve and preserve public assets by sustaining effective levels of core
infrastructure while reducing traffic congestion by expanding bicycle, pedestrian, and transit options.
E. Foundational Services: Sustain organizational viability and exemplary service through short and
long-term financial success, organizational excellence and succession planning, and technology to
improve efficiency and service levels.
Each Policy Focus and City Service Area has a set of objectives, each of which has a subset of key
implementation tasks. These objectives and key implementation tasks provide a basis for making
resource allocation decisions during the budget process and serve as a focal point for assessing and
coordinating the City’s short and long-term strategic planning. The resources required to perform each
objective and task are summarized in the Time and Intensity graphic within the Goals and Objectives.
Additionally, the Policy and City Areas address the community’s needs and priorities, as well as reflect
an evaluation of community condition and the government’s operating environment.
PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 CITYWIDE BUDGET
HIGHLIGHTS
Citywide Budget: The total proposed FY 2022-23 expenditure budget for the City is
$166,109,509 (Attachment 2, Exhibit I). This sum reflects all funds and operations for the City,
including active capital projects. The Capital Improvement Program has planned expenditures for
which staff reports will be submitted for approval of major projects and their associated funding
source. Appropriations are supported by FY 2022-23 revenue and other sources projected at
$156,579,990, as well as by fund balances retained from previous periods for capital projects.
General Fund Budget: The proposed General Fund expenditure budget comprises $95,250,644
for operations, an increase of approximately $4.35 million over the prior year current budget,
supported by revenues, transfers in, and reserves, projected at $97,640,802, resulting in a surplus
before allocations of $2,390,158.
State Budget Impacts: On May 13, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed the May revision to
the FY 2022-23 state budget, which totals approximately $300 billion in spending. The May
revision projects a $97 billion surplus, contrasting against a projected $54 billion deficit in the
FY2020-21 budget. City staff will look for any opportunities to pursue additional assistance and
available funding.
o Broad-based Relief: In addition to providing $400 rebates to eligible owners of registered
vehicles, the May Revision adds $750 million in grants to transit and rail agencies to
provide free transit to Californians for three months. Also included is $2.7 billion for rental
assistance, $304 million to reinstate the healthcare premium subsidy program, and $157
million to waive family fees for state-subsidized preschool and childcare.
o Homelessness: The Budget provides an additional $2 billion over two years to invest in
behavioral health housing and encampment cleanup grants intended to serve as a bridge
to other related programs, such as Project Homekey.
o Infrastructure: The May Revision adds an additional $17 billion in state funds to the $20
billion previously allocated to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles,
modernize the state's transportation system, spur clean energy innovation, advance the
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 6
state's housing goals, reduce wildfire risk to communities, support drought resiliency and
response, among other investments. The May Revision includes an additional $1.1 billion
for broadband, $500 million for housing, $500 million for active transportation, and $650
million to expand efforts to build more housing for homeless individuals.
o Children’s Behavioral Health: The Budget added $290 million to the $1.4 billion allocated
to California’s behavioral health system to support grants to deliver well-being and
mindfulness programs, as well as parent support education programs. In addition, the
program will support grants to support children at increased risk of suicide.
o Wildfires: The Budget adds enhancements toward wildfire resilience and response
capacity by adding funding to support expanded fire crews and air attack operations.
o Drought: Included in the Revision is $1.6 billion to continue the State’s drought response
through both augmentation to loans to drinking water systems, water recycling,
conservation, and habitat restoration as well as $75 million in support grants to farming
and related businesses negatively impacted by drought.
o Public Safety: The May Revision includes $50 million in local law enforcement grants to
support officer wellness as well as $30 million in grants to assist minors who are victims
of sex trafficking.
American Rescue Plan Act: On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The ARPA provided $65.1 billion in direct aid to every city, town, and
village across the country to help stabilize communities. The City of San Rafael has been
allocated an amount of $16,088,886. Funds must be obligated by December 31,2024 and
expended by December 31, 2026. In January of 2022 the Treasury Department issued its Final
Rule, a document that provides guidance on compliance and eligibility, effective beginning April
1, 2022. The City Council has directed use of these funds towards the City’s policy focus areas
of Economic Recovery, Housing & Homelessness, Racial Equity and Sustainability, Climate
Change & Disasters as well as infrastructure projects.
To date the City has utilized approximately $600,000 of these monies for support of Housing &
Homelessness and racial equity initiatives. City Council has approved an informational report
recommending the use of ARPA funds for the San Quentin Pump Station that is expected to
begin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021-22 with costs estimated in the amount of $3.2 million.
ARPA funds in the amount of $110,000 have also been approved by Council to fund the design
work required for the Pickleweed Park field renovation.
Staff will evaluate revenues and appropriations related to ARPA funds at year-end and provide
any specific recommendations necessary for proper reporting at that time. The impact will be an
increase to revenues that will be offset by approved expenditures and assignment of any
unused portion.
General Fund
The City’s General Fund supports most of the major services to residents and businesses (such as police,
fire suppression and prevention, planning, building, library, parks, streets, engineering, traffic
enforcement and management, and cultural programs). The General Fund operating-related
appropriations for FY 2022-23 total approximately $95.3 million. These appropriations comprise $92
million of operating expenditures, $2.2 million of transfers to community services in support of the
Recreation Fund and $1.1 million of transfers to the employee retirement fund. This transfer to the
retirement fund does not occur annually, however, when the City experiences a reduction in the MCERA
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 7
employer contribution rate due to specific one-time events, this translates into a reduction in the City’s
pension contribution expense for the year but not necessarily for future years. For FY 2022-23, the City
will experience a reduction in the MCERA employer contribution rate due to extraordinary investment
returns for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 of 32%. As we do not expect this level of investment
return in subsequent years, the City is setting aside the $1.1 million in one-time pension savings as we
forecast increases in the future and will use the savings at that point.
The appropriations are supported by $95.9 million in projected revenues and $1.8 million of transfers
from other funds. The transfers include a $650,000 reimbursement from Gas Tax revenues for support
of street maintenance salaries; $684,000 from the Employee Retirement Fund for debt service on the
outstanding pension obligation bonds; and $521,000 from the Parking Services Enterprise Fund for
administrative support.
The following table (Table 2) summarizes the detailed information provided in Exhibit II and presents
the proposed FY 2022-23 budget with a comparison to the projected FY 2021-22 budget. The table
presents year-over-year change in revenues and expenses as these are key performance metrics.
Revenues available for operations are projected to be $2.7 million higher than those of the FY 2021-22
year, an increase of 2.9%. This is mainly due to conservative projected growth in major revenue items
such as property tax and sales and use tax.
Expenditures are projected to increase by $600,000, or 0.7% over those of the FY 2021-22 projected
budget. Increases to the FY 2022-23 expense budget include approximately $1.6 million in personnel
expenses related to negotiated pay increases and $1 million in non-personnel expenses related to
inflation. The FY 2022-23 increases in expense are overshadowed by the FY 2021-22 one-time
workers’ compensation and general liability adjustment that staff hopes to absorb as part of the current
budget. If absorbed, expenditures year-over-year are projected to increase by 3.7%.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 8
Table 2: Comparison of FY 2021-22 Projected Year End and FY 2022-23 Budget
Revenue Trends and Assumptions:
Sales and Transaction & Use Tax:
The recovery is in full swing on the sales and use tax front with strong growth quarter after quarter since
the economy began reopening. Although facing difficult macro headwinds heading into the new fiscal
year, sales and use taxes are projected to remain elevated. Areas of Auto & Transportation and Building
& Construction are projected for modest growth as supply chains become less stressed and are better
able to meet demand. Meanwhile, Restaurants & Hotels are expected to continue their pandemic
recovery with a 5.7% growth estimate for next fiscal year.
With the assistance of HdL Companies, the City’s sales tax consultant, recurring sales tax revenues are
estimated to increase slightly from $24.8 million as currently proposed in the FY 2021-22 budget, to $25.1
million in FY 2022-23, an increase of approximately 1.2 percent. Sales taxes account for approximately
26% of the City’s General Fund revenues.
Revenues from the Measure E Transactions & Use Tax, which applies to most local retail sales, are
estimated to rise from $14.5 million as currently proposed in the FY 2021-22 budget, to $14.7 million in
FY 2022-23, an increase of 1.2 percent. One-third of these funds are allocated to service debt related to
the 2018 Lease Revenue Bonds. Measure E revenues account for about 15% of the City’s General Fund
revenues. Revenues from the new Measure R Transactions & Use Tax are projected to generate $4.9
million and represent about 5% of the City’s General Fund revenues. Altogether, sales and use taxes
comprise 47% of the City’s General Fund revenues.

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 9
Property Tax:
Property taxes are currently projected to increase by 8% over the prior year for a total of $24.4 million.
The increase is mainly due to increased excess Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund payments and
growth in the overall property tax roll. Property tax makes up 25% of the City’s General Fund revenues.
Other General Fund Revenues:
Other revenues (including Business Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, development fees, permits, and
charges for services) are expected to show a modest increase of 4% when compared to the prior year’s
budget. These revenues account for 28% of the City’s General Fund revenues.
Expenditure Trends and Assumptions:
The growth in expenditures incorporates inflationary increases and increases in personnel costs as we
increase compensation based on collective bargaining contract commitments. General Fund budgeted
contributions to the Marin County Employees Retirement Association (MCERA) are projected to decrease
by $730,000, or 3.9% when compared to the previous year. The decrease is attributable to significant
asset gains during the actuary’s measurement period ($1.1 million), partially offset by the increase in total
payroll, however, these trends are not expected to persist into the following fiscal year as markets
continue to experience downward pressure. Staff recommends smoothing the impact of the FY22-23
decrease and expected FY23-24 increase by transferring $1.1 million to the Employee Retirement
Internal Service Fund during FY22-23 to ensure continuity of programs over the long-term. Pension
expenses represent approximately 14.1% of total citywide expenditures, and approximately $17.9 million,
or 19.1%, of an $95.3 million general fund budget.
Capital Spending and Other Funds
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The CIP is a multi-year planning tool used to identify and implement the City’s capital needs over the
upcoming three-year period: FY 2022-23 through FY 2024-25. The CIP document summarizes the City’s
planned capital and infrastructure improvement projects, including their funding sources, and prioritizes
projects after analysis and coordination with other City departments to ensure that all department needs
are represented. Project selection and priority is based on recommendations by a Working Group
representing various City departments to accommodate high priority needs, which focused on life/safety,
maintenance and repair, public and City Council input, and other factors. The CIP is intended to provide
a comprehensive three-year project list for the City’s known capital and infrastructure needs.
The general categories within the CIP are as follows:
• City-Owned Properties: City facilities including buildings, parking garages and lots
• Drainage: Stormwater systems including roadway drainage and the City’s 12 stormwater pump
stations
• Parks: Park infrastructure and facilities including playgrounds, recreation equipment, and
restrooms
• Streets/Transportation: Roadway improvements including construction, resurfacing, and
maintenance of existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities including sidewalks and bike lanes.
• Transportation: Transportation projects are separated out from Streets/Transportation projects.
Transportation projects include traffic and signal improvements that increase traffic flow and
capacity, as well as any circulation improvements that expand bicycle/pedestrian thoroughfare
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 10
beyond the existing facilities in place. For example, new multi-use pathways and the expansion
of existing sidewalk.
On May 16, 2022, Public Works presented the preliminary three-year CIP for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23
through FY 2024-25 for discussion and review by the City Council. The purpose of the presentation was
to provide the community members and the City Council an opportunity to participate in reviewing and
sharing feedback relating to the CIP.
Major new projects/studies identified in the FY 2022-23 to FY 2024-25 CIP include:
• 20 Meyer Road Slide Repair
• North San Pedro Medians at SMART Railroad Crossing
• Center Street Resurfacing – Phases I and II
• Francisco Blvd West at Irwin St: Trash Rack
• Sun Valley Park Playground Improvements
• Grand Ave (Second St to Fourth St) Class IV Cycle Track
• Bike & Ped Master Plan 2022 Update
There are currently five major annual funding sources for the CIP:
Table 3: CIP Funding Sources
Fund # Fund Name Description
205 Stormwater
Fund
Established to fund stormwater maintenance, programs, and
improvements throughout the City. Fund #205 receives annual
revenues from the City’s Stormwater Activity Fee (Municipal Code
Chapter 9.40).
206 Gas Tax;
Measure AA;
Senate Bill 1
Funds
The Gas Tax is revenue collected and subsequently distributed by the
State of California based on a percentage tax on each gallon of gas
purchased in San Rafael. Gas Tax may be used for capital projects or
maintenance on local streets, roads, traffic, and bicycle/pedestrian
facilities. Additionally, local sales tax, passed by voters in 2018 as
Measure AA, contributes to a portion of this fund for roadway
improvement projects.
241 Measure A Measure A is a nine‐year ¼ percent Transactions and Use Tax managed
by the County of Marin. The tax is restricted to care for parks and open
spaces. The Department of Library and Recreation, in consultation with
the Parks and Recreation Commission, provides input each year as to
which parks projects should be prioritized to receive Measure A funding.
246 Traffic
Mitigation Fee
Traffic Mitigation Fees are an impact fee charged to a developer in
connection with the approval of a private land development project with
the purpose of offsetting or subsidizing public improvements made
necessary by the private development. The City utilizes Traffic Mitigation
Fees for circulation‐related projects identified in the General Plan.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 11
Fund # Fund Name Description
603 Building
Maintenance
The Building Maintenance Fund supports routine maintenance and
capital projects associated with the City’s buildings, parks and other
facilities. The Building Maintenance Fund is an internal revenue fund,
which means General Fund monies are the sole source of revenue.
While some CIP projects are grant-funded, most are not and are paid for through Funds 205
(Stormwater), 206 (Gas Tax), 246 (Traffic Mitigation), and 603 (Building Maintenance). Within each fund
type is an Operating Budget which consists of expenses related to maintenance of infrastructure,
equipment purchasing, miscellaneous contractual services, Annual Programs, and other non-project
related work. Additionally, after deducting the Operating Budget from the total available funding in each
fund type, staff allocated a contingency of the remaining funds to provide a buffer for unanticipated
expenses which may arise mid-year.
As has been noted in prior year CIPs, the long-term capital and infrastructure improvement needs for
City-owned property, parks, and drainage far exceed the available revenues each year. Therefore, a
considerable number of projects are identified as real capital and infrastructure needs (and maintained
on the CIP project list) but are categorized as “Unfunded”. City staff continues to actively pursue grant
funding, congressional earmarks, and other infrastructure funding sources. Several of these funding
sources require a local funding match.
Historically, staff transfers a flat amount each year from the Gas Tax to the General Fund to support
personnel costs of Streets Maintenance staff, which we propose to do again this year in the amount of
$650,000. Personnel costs of employees performing street and road maintenance and repairs total over
$2 million annually in the General Fund and are an allowable use of State Gas Tax monies.
The complete, final draft of the CIP is attached to this report (Attachment 3).
Capital Project Funds
These funds are dedicated to the tracking and reporting of capital projects. The most significant capital
project activity is the Public Safety Essential Facilities program, which in the last two years has completed
projects such as the construction of the new Public Safety Center and the rehabilitation of Fire Stations
52 and 57. This project has been funded from the following sources: (1) direct use of designated Measure
E general tax funds; (2) Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2018, which will be repaid from designated
Measure E general tax funds; and (3) allocations from the Paramedic Tax used to fund capital projects.
In FY 2022-23, the City expects to complete construction on the rehabilitation of Fire Stations 54 and 55.
Special Revenue and Grant Funds
These funds have restricted uses, based on their respective sources. One significant fund in this group
is the Emergency Medical Services/Paramedic Fund (EMS). The fund has planned expenditures of $8.8
million for the upcoming fiscal year, of which $5.2 million, or 59%, comes from the Paramedic Tax. The
balance of the funding of this activity comes primarily from third-party recovery for emergency medical
response and transport services. Tax rates have reached their tax ceiling for County Services Area #13,
County Services Area #19, and Marinwood Community Services District, so although the spending plan
requires increases in revenue, operations must be subsidized by the City of San Rafael. For FY 2022-
23, a $5 increase in the tax rate for residential unit properties in San Rafael was approved as expenditure
growth continues to outpace revenue growth.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 12
The EMS Fund is projected to retain $695,728 in unallocated fund balance on June 30, 2023. This
balance serves as an operational reserve. Funds not needed for the operations reserve are used to fund
capital improvements that directly support the delivery of emergency medical transport services (e.g.,
Phase II essential public facilities projects, such as Fire Stations 54 and 55), however, no transfers are
expected to take place in FY23.
The City’s Cannabis Business Tax is also reported in a special revenue fund. San Rafael has several
licensees in active commerce. The City anticipates the receipt of $300,000 in excise tax revenues for
the FY 2022-23 year in which the fund will incur $159,057 in qualifying expenses. The fund carries a
fund balance of prior year savings that it plans to allocate to new projects specifically focused on
economic development and service support.
The Measure A Open Space Program sunset on April, 1 2022. Funding for this activity was primarily
provided by a nine-year, county-wide sales tax that is managed by the County of Marin, with the City
providing discretionary contributions as needed. A renewal of the quarter-cent tax was included on the
June ballot and successfully passed. Staff will update the workplan and budget for this program based
on revenues to be received as a result of the measure passing. Currently, $300,000 in fund balance is
budgeted to be expended during the year to fund project initiatives.
Measure D, the successor library parcel tax to Measure C, is entering its sixth year. This special revenue
source has successfully expanded service levels, relative to those established under Measure C
(previous library parcel tax). The purpose of the tax is to “augment the capacity of the City of San Rafael
to provide quality library services to its residents.” Measure D provides for expanded book and periodical
purchases, including e-books; funds events and classes for all ages, and provides for supplementary
technology supplies. Capital reserves were established under Measure C (previous library parcel tax) for
facility-related uses.
The Recreation and Childcare Funds are anticipating spending plans of $4.8 million and $3.3 million,
respectively. Revenue projections will depend on demand as they have not found their way back to pre-
COVID activity. The Childcare Fund is projecting a deficit in fund balance at June 30, 2023 and will
require an increase in fees. Management will keep the City Council apprised of any events affecting the
performance of these funds.
Measure C, a historic wildfire prevention measure is entering its third year. Funding for this activity is
provided by a ten-year parcel tax and is managed by the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority, a Joint
Powers Authority. The City of San Rafael is expected to receive $1.9 million in revenues to support
coordinated wildfire prevention including early detection, warning and alerts; reducing vegetation;
ensuring defensible space around homes, neighborhoods and critical infrastructure; and improving
disaster evacuation routes/procedures.
Other significant funds in this category include Gas Tax and Storm Water Funds. The spending plans for
these funds were developed in conjunction with the Capital Improvement Program described previously.
Costs for new CIP projects are not included in the budget until they are brought to Council for approval
at time of commencement.
Parking Fund
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 13
The Parking Fund is a self-sustaining enterprise fund whose revenues are dedicated to parking services.
Currently, parking operations are funded via parking fees and fines, and fund balance is the only resource
with which to cover capital improvements. The parking structures and lots have deferred maintenance
issues that will need to be addressed in the coming years. In 2014, the Public Works Department engaged
an engineering firm to evaluate current conditions of the garage structures and provide recommendations
for repair and maintenance items. The study determined that the four city-owned structures (3rd/Lootens,
3rd/A, 3rd/C, 5th/C parking structures) require significant structural repairs due to deferred maintenance.
The FY 2022-23 operating budget for this fund is $5.0 million, inclusive of operating transfers. The Parking
Fund continues to endure the negative effects of the pandemic and has only been self-sustaining over
the past two years as it has drawn on its accumulated fund balance which is its only resource to cover
capital improvements. For FY 2022-23, the Parking Fund is projected to incur a deficit which can no
longer be covered by remaining fund balance. In order to prevent this from occurring, staff is in the
process of analyzing the increase of fees or further expense reductions. Management will keep the City
Council apprised of any events affecting the performance of this fund throughout the year.
Internal Service Funds and Capital Replacement Funds
These funds are used to manage services that are delivered within the organization. For example,
computer replacement, employee benefits, workers compensation, general liability, capital replacement,
technology replacement and vehicle replacement are funded via internal charges to the funds that utilize
these respective services.
Successor Agency
Prior to the state-initiated dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency in January 2012, the City Council
met as the Redevelopment Agency and approved its annual budget as part of the citywide budget
process. Under the current legislation, the Successor Agency is not required to prepare an annual budget.
Funding for the Successor Agency follows a different process specified in the new law: funding must be
approved by the Successor Agency’s Oversight Board and the California Department of Finance for six-
month periods. The economic development-related functions of the former Redevelopment Agency have
been fully transferred to the City Manager’s Office.
Status of Pension Funding
The City’s Pension Funding Policy requires that the Administrative Services Director and City Manager
report on the status of pension funding as part of the annual budget adoption process.
The most recent pension actuarial valuation was prepared as of June 30, 2021 and approved by the
MCERA Board on February 9, 2022. This valuation was used to determine the contribution rates for FY
2022-23. The composite rate for the City of San Rafael will be 58.91 percent, a 3.6 percent decrease
from the current rate of 62.57 percent. The budgeted pension contribution for FY 2022-23 provides full
funding for the required contribution. The valuation also reported an unfunded actuarial liability of $27
million for the City, representing a funded ratio of 95.8%.
MCERA’s investment target (discount rate) remained at 6.75% during the measurement period. The City
has dedicated a portion of its employee retirement reserve to buffer the impact of unexpected increases.
This reserve, which currently totals $2.1 million, is also used to accumulate payments for debt service on
the $4.5 million pension obligation bonds issued in 2010; and for optional, supplementary payments to
MCERA.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 14
Status of Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) Funding (Retiree Healthcare)
The City’s OPEB Funding Policy was adopted on September 18, 2017. The policy cites the City’s goal of
fully funding the Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) each year. The budgeted OPEB contribution
for FY 2021-22 provides full funding for the required contribution. The contribution is based on an
investment target (discount rate) of 6.75%. The most recent actuarial valuation, as of June 30, 2021,
reports $26 million in plan assets offset by $48.2 million in actuarially accrued liabilities, leaving an
unfunded actuarial liability of $22.2 million. The City’s ADC for FY 2022-23 is $2.6 million.
General Fund Balance and Reserves
Under the proposed FY 2022-23 budget, all funds but two are projected to have a positive fund balance
as of July 1, 2022, as well as at June 30, 2023. As previously mentioned, the Childcare Fund estimates
a negative fund balance, but if fee increases are approved staff expects results to break-even.
Additionally, the Parking Services Fund estimates a negative fund balance if no action is taken on either
increasing fees or reducing expenses. Staff will return to City Council to provide status updates on both
these funds.
General Fund Emergency Reserves are projected to increase from $9.3 million to $9.5 million, or 10% of
General Fund expenditures, maintaining the minimum target reserve levels. There are sufficient funds
retained in the general liability and workers compensation reserves to fund projected claims in those
respective areas.
GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
The Appropriations Limit for each year is based on the prior year Appropriations Limit, adjusted by factors
that incorporate changes in cost of living and population. For FY 2022-23, the City is using a 14.41
percent increase in San Rafael’s assessment roll for nonresidential construction (this figure is provided
by the County of Marin). For the change in population, the City is using negative 1.01 percent –
representing the change in population for San Rafael, which is higher than Marin County’s figure of
negative 1.11 percent for the period January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022 (provided by the State of
California Department of Finance).
The attached Exhibit A establishes the new Appropriations Limit for FY 2022-23, which has been
calculated to be $170,762,486. The actual budget subject to the limitation excludes self-supporting funds,
capital improvement funds, capital outlay grant funds, and specific exclusions such as the Gas Tax Fund.
The FY 2022-23 appropriations subject to the GANN Limit is $91,883,786 (Attachment 4, Exhibit B).
Therefore, the portion of the City’s budget appropriation that is restricted by the GANN Limit is
$78,878,700 under the legal limit.
STAFFING
For FY 2022-23, all departments are focused on finding ways to maximize the capacity of our current
staff by re-examining the way our teams are currently organized, and by creatively implementing process
improvements cross departmentally. This is especially important as the City addresses the ongoing
pandemic and reimagines the way it provides services with the goal of equity in all that we do.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 15
The City’s current approved level of staffing for FY 2021-22 of 419.76 is 6 percent below the peak of 445
FTE that was supported in fiscal year 2007-2008. The 419.76 is comprised of 27.51 fixed term positions
that are not MCERA annuitants and have a fixed term with the City. Many of these fixed term positions
are a result of Measure C (wildfire prevention) funding.
For FY 2022-23, City staff are requesting authority to add a net of three new regular FTEs as presented
below:
• Convert one fixed-term professional temp in the City Manager’s Office to a permanent
management analyst represented by Local 1 – this is a net neutral headcount change and is
projected to be an increased cost of $48,674. This position has been integrally involved in the
staff work of several of the City’s goals and objectives. The salary schedule and job description
do not need to be updated.
• Convert one fixed-term professional temp in the Fire Department to a permanent mid-manager
deputy fire marshal – this is a net neutral headcount change and is projected to be an increased
cost of $40,356. This mid-manager position is critical in the fire operation and the individual who
is currently in a fixed term position has been acting in the deputy fire marshal capacity. The salary
schedule does not need to be updated and the updated job description is attached.
• Eliminate the vacant senior recreation supervisor mid-manager position and add 3 office assistant
positions represented by SEIU in the Recreation division. The total change in FTE is an increase
of 2 represented headcount and by reducing the front desk temp staff budget by $165,000 which
is what it would cost to provide services with temp help, the Recreation division ends up saving
slightly over $5,000. This action will provide significant benefits to the department and customers
as it will create consistent front counter assistance and will build a more cohesive customer
experience. The salary schedule and job description do not need to be updated.
• Authorize the City Manager the ability to eliminate the housing manager position while adding a
housing and homelessness analyst and an assistant director of Community Development. The
total change in FTE is an increase of 1 headcount and the authority allowed to the City Manager
is a net increased cost of $250,000. The $250,000 is a combination of an estimated cost for the
two new positions offset by the $256,431 cost already in the budget for the housing manager
position. This will result in a new salary schedule(s) and job descriptions in which staff request
the City Council allow the City Manager to implement within the above confines.
The combined impact of these positions would be a total of 422.76 FTEs, including 397.25 regular FTEs
and 25.51 fixed-term FTEs. This does not include temporary and seasonal staff who support functions
for the City including recreation and aquatics.
The history and detail for the 422.76 FTE/positions being proposed for FY 2022-23 are presented in
Attachment 2, Exhibit III.
Compaction
The City of San Rafael continues to experience challenges with salary compaction, particularly in the Fire
and Police Departments. Due to factors including incentive pay, holiday pay, and bilingual pay, there are
instances where positions including the Police Captains and Deputy Fire Chiefs earn as much or more
than the Police and Fire Chiefs. This becomes a problem for recruitment, retention, and promotional
purposes. The City of San Rafael currently pays its Police and Fire Chief substantially below market rate,
about 85% of the salary paid by comparable peers.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 16
In order to address these salary compaction issues, and for recruitment and retention purposes,
particularly in the Fire and Police Departments, staff recommends that the City Council amend resolution
14954 regarding the compensation and working conditions for certain unrepresented executive
management employees for the term of June 30, 2022 through June 30, 2024. Specifically, the resolution
and the salary schedule will reflect the following actions:
• Increase the City Manager’s salary to market. The increase to the City Manager’s salary
translates into a total cost increase of approximately $13,600;
• Grant the City Manager the authority to adjust upwards upon performance evaluation the salary
of the Assistant City Manager to no more than 15% less than the City Manager base salary; and
• Grant the City Manager the authority to adjust upwards upon performance evaluation the salary
of the Police Chief and the Fire Chief to no more than 18% less than the City Manager base
salary.
CHILDCARE
The City of San Rafael provides childcare services through the Library and Recreation Department. The
fees were most recently adjusted in 2021 after an extensive fee study to improve cost recovery levels in
accordance with Council policy and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the program. Due to
inflationary impacts causing an increase in the cost of living as well as a challenging hiring environment,
the fees approved in 2021 no longer meet the Council’s cost recovery goals. As a result, staff recommend
that all fees receive an increase of 5% to bring them to more sustainable levels.
The fee increase would go into effect on August 18 to ensure that staff have sufficient time to
communicate the changes to the community. The City’s childcare fees have been increased on a semi-
regular basis since 2011 and customers are accustomed to regular, incremental increases.

FISCAL IMPACT: The preliminary fiscal year 2022-23 budget has been prepared for all funds. Funding
sources are sufficient to support the preliminary spending plans presented and staff believes the two
funds that do not currently have sufficient sources to support their preliminary spending plans will do so
once fees are increased for the Childcare fund and cost saving measures or increased fees are
experienced throughout the next fiscal year for the Parking fund.

Council Goals and Objectives FY 2021-22 – Status Update
At the beginning of the fiscal year, the City Council approved a new set of Goals and Objectives in a
reimagined format which included an Executive Summary that serves as a “statement of purpose” for
the document, a graphic that put City services into a broader context of service providers, four key
Policy Focus Areas, five City Service areas, a description of how we intend to begin measuring progress,
a snapshot of the relative cost and intensity of the goals/objectives, and two lists of accomplishments –
one for general and a separate one for just accomplishments related to COVID-19.
A year later, COVID-19 continues to impact City service delivery, current case rates are still high, and the
City remains in a City Council-proclaimed state of emergency. For these reasons, along with the long-
term nature of the four key Policy Focus Areas, the City Council will continue to use the current Goals
and Objectives document for the coming fiscal year. This “Status Update” is an attempt to bring the
document up to date by including past actions and upcoming steps. For ease of illustration, it is divided
into the original Policy Focus Areas (blue charts) and City Service Areas (green charts). As a reminder,
the key for the below symbols, included in the Goals and Objectives document, are:
POLICY FOCUS AREAS
Economic Recovery
Goals $ Economic Recovery Plan $$ ΩΩΩ
General business support $ ΩΩ
Economic development programs $$$ ΩΩΩ
Business support programs $ ΩΩ
Revenues for economic development $ ΩΩ
Economic Recovery Plan. Working with our partners, in particular the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce
and the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID), the City defined a scope of work, requested
proposals, interviewed firms, and at the June 21, 2022 City Council meeting will consider a contract with
Kosmont Companies to facilitate the Economic Development Strategic Plan. The Plan will prioritize
actions and guide future investments with our partners and will address all of San Rafael such as
downtown, East San Rafael, Terra Linda, etc.
General Business Support. After previously raising funds for a San Rafael small business grant program,
the City contracted with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the San Rafael Chamber of
Commerce to provide direct business support to local businesses such as identifying and assisting with
grant and loan programs as well as general business support counseling.
Economic Development Programs. The City completed the “Going the Extra Mile” focus groups with the
San Rafael Chamber of Commerce. These focus groups provided insights on the ongoing effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic in the business community. Additional programs will result from the Economic
Development Strategic Plan and could receive partial funding through the American Rescue Plan Act.
Business Support Programs. Some examples include: the streetaries program for City Council
consideration on June 21, 2022, Dining Under the Lights, Mayor Kate’s Walkabouts, awareness
campaigns such as “Shop Local” and “Life in San Rafael,” and a significant purchase of new trash
receptacles to assist with cleanliness. Additional beautification recommendations will be presented for
City Council consideration this fiscal year.
Revenues for Economic Development. Staff explored new revenues to fund economic development
and, instead of proposing to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax or create a tourism-based visitor
assessment, staff will focus on the American Rescue Plan Act funds, and also explore ways to enhance
the cannabis program over time to increase revenues.
Racial Equity
Goals $ "Not in Our Town" (NIOT) $ Ω
Internal city equity audit $$$ ΩΩΩΩ
Racial equity training $ ΩΩΩΩ
Public art process $ ΩΩ
Racial and Identity Data $ Ω
"Not in Our Town" (NIOT). The City formally supported “Not in Our Town,” a leading anti-hate
organization and on November 20, 2021 declared United Against Hate week, supporting anti-hate
activities through business contacts, school support, getting out information, etc. The City Council
significantly increased the number of formal proclamations such as for LGBTQ+, Asian American Pacific
Islander Heritage, Jewish American Heritage, Older Americans, Black History Month, and many other
communities.
Internal city equity audit. On May 16, 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with BCT Partners
to perform an Equity Audit on the City’s policies, programs, and practices. Background work has begun
and staff will also be incorporating best practices from other jurisdictions and organizations (e.g.
Dominican University). In addition, the City created a new model for communication with residents that
have traditionally been underrepresented in civic business. Also, the city manager’s e-newsletter is, for
the first time, now in English and Spanish. The e-newsletter has a wide circulation and staff will be
working to increase the readership in both English and Spanish formats.
Racial equity training. The City has conducted on-line and in-person equity training for groups of staff.
Additional training has not yet taken place but is expected to be a significant action item resulting from
the internal Equity Audit.
Public art process. On May 16, 2022, the City Council established a public art program and approved the
formation of a Public Art Review Board. The City Council had previously approved two public art projects
as part of the pilot program, the Canal Arts Initiative and the San Rafael Social Justice Community Arts
Group.
Racial and Identity Data. The San Rafael Police Department started collecting this AB 953 data prior to
the required date and publishes all the data on its website.
Housing and Homelessness
Goals $ Update to Housing Element $$$ ΩΩΩ
Protect low-income renters $ ΩΩ
Facilitate new housing $$$$ ΩΩ
Support Coordinated Entry $$ ΩΩ
Homelessness programs $$$ ΩΩΩ
Update to Housing Element. The City held a community kickoff meeting in November 2021 and the San
Rafael Housing Element Working Group has been meeting monthly since December 2021, with the
intent to gather additional feedback and complete the Housing Element this calendar year. Meetings
have been open to the entire community. The Housing Element will cover the period from 2023-2031.
Protect low-income renters. The City played a key role on the Canal Policy Working Group and formally
supported the Group’s work by Resolution, enacted a rent freeze for those most disproportionately
impacted by COVID-19, adopted an eviction moratorium, and will consider an extension to the eviction
moratorium on June 21, 2022. Work continues on other efforts identified through the group.
Facilitate new housing. In March 2022, the City Council approved $2.6 million in funding through the
City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund to support the Vivalon project at 999 Third Street, permanent
supportive housing at 3301 Kerner Boulevard, Homeward Bound’s Mill Street 2.0 project, and the Canal
Alliance resulting in about 140 new affordable units.
Support Coordinated Entry. The City continued to support the countywide Coordinated Entry system.
Since fall 2017, 486 people have been housed in permanent supportive housing and 94% are still
housed.
Homelessness programs. In July 2021, the City created the “Service Support Area” at the location of an
existing homeless encampment and, with our partners, intensified services to assist people in getting
housed. The City also contributed $260K to a regional effort to increase social worker/case management
services. The City was also successful in obtaining a $522K Encampment Resolution Fund grant from the
State of California for additional case management services.
Sustainability, Climate Change, and Disasters
Goals $ Adaptation planning $$$$ ΩΩΩΩ
Electric vehicle (EV) strategy $$ ΩΩ
Greenhouse gas reduction $ ΩΩ
Wildfire Prevention Plan $$$$ ΩΩΩΩ
Adaptation planning. The City Council declared a Climate Emergency in September 2021 and
subsequently secured commitments for grants totaling about $750K for adaptation assessments for sea
level rise in East San Rafael with a focus on the Canal Neighborhood and is in the process of hiring a full-
time Climate Adaptation and Resilience Planner to conduct a citywide adaptation planning process and
oversee the sea level rise adaptation assessments.
Electric vehicle (EV) strategy. This has not yet taken place, but in the coming fiscal year, the City will
work with the Transportation Authority of Marin and other community partners to develop an EV
strategy for San Rafael, including increasing EV’s and EV charging infrastructure at City facilities and in
the community.
Greenhouse gas reduction. This goal related to the business ecosystem. The City has completed an
initial engagement for an Equitable Low-Carbon Economy project paring climate action with economic
development and developed draft goals and metrics. Also, the City developed a new refuse and
recyclable materials ordinance requiring mandatory organics recycling for compliance with SB 1383.
Wildfire Prevention Plan. In May 2022, the City Council received a status report on the 38-point Wildfire
Prevention and Protection Action Plan, amended the smoking ordinance to prohibit smoking in open
space and require designated smoking areas in multi-family housing complexes, and required the
replacement of wood roofs.
CITY SERVICE AREAS
Goal A: Neighborhood and Economic Vitality
Goals $ Online permitting $$$ ΩΩΩ
Virtual building inspections $ ΩΩ
Cannabis Program $ Ω
Implement General Plan 2040 $ ΩΩΩ
Goals $ Business licenses $ ΩΩ
Life in San Rafael $ ΩΩ
Online permitting. Work is continuing on a new permitting and land management software system to
replace Trakit. The City is supporting inter-departmental teams in research, gathering technical
requirements, vendor research, and usability testing during the selection and implementation of a
replacement system.
Virtual building inspections. The City implemented a “virtual public counter” so applicants can connect
with staff members from Building, Planning, Public Works, and Fire at the same time to streamline input
and review documents in real time. Thus far, the City has not found an adequate option for virtual
inspections that can address complexity of inspections and lighting and logistical issues but will continue
to monitor projects as products improve.
Cannabis Program. The City supported the cannabis license program and quarterly tax collection,
conducted compliance visitations, tracked state legislation, and updated necessary codes to sync with
State licensing requirements.
Implement General Plan 2040. The City Council, in July/August 2021, adopted the General Plan 2040
and the Downtown Precise Plan, which includes objective standards that will make it easier and more
streamlined for residential development to take place in downtown. The City updated existing and
created new housing policies, including new ordinances for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and new
adopted review guidelines for SB9 applications – with further detail to be presented summer 2022.
Business licenses. The City continues to research solutions for an easy to use product and will likely be
integrated into the permit tracking system. Meanwhile, planning and finance have worked together to
create a homeowners’ guide and checklist to help facilitate the business license process.
Life in San Rafael. The City created a new Life in San Rafael social media and business awareness
campaign focused on promoting small businesses with unique features and professional photography.
Goal B: Quality of Life
Goals $ Parks and Recreation Master Plan $$$ ΩΩ
New Downtown Library $$ Ω
Age-Friendly Strategic Plan $ ΩΩΩΩ
Virtual Library Programs $ Ω
Reduce Litter $ ΩΩ
Sun Valley Playground $$$$ ΩΩ
Public parking facilities art $ ΩΩ
Parks and Recreation Master Plan. A Parks and Recreation Master Plan, to better determine the City’s
related goals and priorities, was included as a goal in the General Plan 2040 and is now underway with
an expected completion date of Winter/Spring 2023. It will provide a guide to further develop City parks
and recreational programs, create and maintain funding, and set priorities for the future.
New Downtown Library. Conceptual design was completed to evaluate the use of Albert Park as a
potential joint library and community center. Further exploration put the focus on the Carnegie site and
the City is exploring whether to expand the Carnegie and build new amenities, which would require a
significant new investment through a ballot measure, or simply to maintain the existing undersized
building.
Age-Friendly Strategic Plan. The City continues to work with our partners to implement the age-friendly
strategic plan. Additionally, a $7,000 funding request has been included in the fiscal year 2022-2023
budget to support trainings on ageism and activities to address social isolation.
Virtual Library Programs. The library continues to offer multiple opportunities for virtual access and
experiences through efforts such as: a virtual English as a Second Language club, virtual book clubs, and
popular programming (such as All Things Apple, Zentangle, and Art Talks) offered on-line. The library has
also relaunched in-person storytimes, virtual reality programming, and a new “book a librarian”
program, for those that need extended time with a library staff member.
Reduce Litter. The City conducted additional litter cleanups and community engagement around trash
and litter issues in the Canal neighborhood. The Volunteer Program and San Rafael Clean campaign will
work with residents and businesses to enable more regular cleanup efforts and crowd-sourced solutions
to reduce the upstream causes of litter.
Sun Valley Playground. Through the Prop 68 Per Capita Grant Program and Measure A, the City secured
funding for the replacement of the playground at Sun Valley Park and ADA accessibility improvements.

survey. The final design will be presented to the Park & Recreation Commission this summer, with
construction slated to begin in the Fall/Winter 2022.

Emergency medical services. A working group consisting of chief officers, human resources personnel,
labor association representatives, fire captains, and line paramedics will continue to meet regularly to
identify strategies to improve emergency medical service levels to meet the increasing demand for
services and provide for the delivery of those services in a fiscally responsible manner.
Resiliency training. The Police Department, in cooperation and partnership with San Rafael Fire,
facilitated training sessions covering critical incident stress management, wellness, and resiliency for
front line personnel. This accomplishment, including on-going training and the creation of a “Peer
Support” team creates a “culture of care” for public safety personnel, developing a focus of care,
compassion and a focus of resiliency for department staff. Additionally, training in Emotional
Intelligence has been provided to Command and Supervisory Staff and may extend to all personnel.
Expand mobile crisis team. The City will consider an Alternate Response Team (ART) planned for the
July 5, 2022 City Council meeting to be synergetic with the County’s mobile crisis team and to increase
mental health and crisis support in San Rafael.
Multi-hazard capabilities. City staff participated in two functional Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
exercises and received EOC-section specific training. The City participated in the update to the County
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), issued an RFP for an update to the City EOP, and continues work to
implement and update the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJLHMP) and apply for related
grant funds. Over 15,000 defensible space evaluations were completed, parking boxes approved with
implementation underway, increased emergency alert registrations, implemented Zonehaven
evacuation tool, and conducted multiple community meetings and trainings. Staff will work with Marin
County agencies to align with, adopt, and enforce the 2022 California Fire Code with, with amendments.
Diverse workforce. In May 2021, department leadership developed a “recruitment team” represented
by a cross-departmental team from multiple levels of rank and assignment within the City. The team is
comprised of 70% of female members and 43% of the team included people of color. The SRPD
recruitment team has employed an inclusive strategy of reaching out to a diverse candidate pool in an
effort to find candidates of high quality that further the mission of SRPD to diversify our ranks.
Fire Stations 54 and 55. The City Council approved the contracts to replace Fire Station 54 and Fire
Station 55 in October 2021. Both projects are under construction and on schedule. Their completion will
mark the successful conclusion of Phase II of the Essential Facilities replacement program. Phase I
included the Public Safety Center including Fire Station 51 and the complete replacement of Fire Station
52 and 57.

Improvements on Third Street. The 18-month Third Street improvement project is under construction
and includes City, San Rafael Sanitation District, Marin Water, and PG&E improvements to upgrade
safety, infrastructure, and multi-modal traffic needs. Among other things, the project is focused on
traffic, bicycles, and pedestrian access; rehabilitation of pavement; upgrading curb ramps for
accessibility; upgrading traffic signal infrastructure; and replacing water and sewer lines.
Expand the Canal Wi-Fi. The City continues to work with Digital Marin on expanding the WiFi network.
Also, the City joined the Waze For Cities Program to enable the Police Department and Department of
Public Works to share information with Waze users about road closures, events, and the location of
responding emergency vehicles.
Traffic signal upgrades. The City continued the upgrade of traffic signals with battery back-up units and
initiated a state-of-the-art emergency vehicle preemption program. Also, the Idea Grant Signal Upgrade
project was completed making San Rafael a “Smart City”.
Street Tree Ordinance. The street tree ordinance is currently in draft form and will be brought for City
Council consideration in summer 2022.
Southern Heights Bridge. The Southern Heights Bridge reconstruction is complete and is once again in
use. The wood bridge was replaced with a concrete bridge that is both seismically safe and wide enough
for emergency vehicles.
Relocation of Bettini Transit Center. The City Council approved comments on the draft Environmental
Impact Report and staff is working collaboratively with all of the transit agencies involved in this effort
including the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District; Transportation Authority of
Marin; Marin Transit; and the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit.
Form East San Rafael Parking Task Force. The Task Force has been formed and is continuing their work
to identify additional strategies to make parking improvements in addition to the strategies that have
already been implemented from the East San Rafael Parking Study such as time limited parking and
additional striped parking.
San Rafael Channel dredging. Earlier this year, the President HR2471 which included $6.75 million for
dredging of the San Rafael Channel. The funds were appropriated under the US Army Corps of Engineers
2022 operation and maintenance work plan. The Army Corps is working on a timetable for the dredging
with a bid opening planned on June 21, 2022.

Complete redistricting process. The redistricting process was completed in 2022 using 2020 US Census
data. The districts were created recently in San Rafael and met all of the required conditions, so the
Council elected to leave them unchanged.
Ensure hybrid meeting model. Earlier this year, the Council implemented a hybrid meeting model in the
Council Chambers so that the public can attend in-person or virtually. This model is now in the works for
the Boards and Commissions.
Boards and Commissions. The City made a number of improvements and standardizations to the Boards
and Commissions at the June 6, 2022 City Council meeting – including having four Planning
Commissioners appointed by district and three at-large.
Enterprise Resource Planning. Planning continues to replace the EPR which currently relies on manual
entry, imports and exports of CSVs, paper-based processes, and disparate solutions for maintaining
financial records and reporting for incoming revenue and budgeting. A modern system that is designed
with users at the center will greatly improve operational efficiency and management practices across
the City.
Master Fee Schedule. The Master Fee Schedule has not been updated overall, but fees were updated in
multiple departments including a comprehensive review of Library and Recreation Department fees, the
paramedic tax, traffic mitigation fee, and other minor adjustments. A fee study has been completed for
fees associated with development review to cover planning, building, fire, and engineering costs. A fee
update for these fees will take place in the coming fiscal year.
Together San Rafael. Digital Service and Open Government staff created and implemented the
“Innovation Lab” program which was designed to provide internal skill building and an approachable
way for employees to learn about process improvement techniques. Through a series of trainings, City
of San Rafael staff are learning how to make their processes run smoother in order to continuously
improve the quality and efficiency of city service delivery without adding costs or requiring more
resources. The Innovation Lab trained over 50 City employees across departments. Staff developed
innovations in their own processes that were simple, practical, and repeatable in order to better serve
the City of San Rafael.
II. Measuring our Goals and Objectives FY 2021 – 2023
Background
The City of San Rafael is in the process of formalizing a data-driven approach to the implementation of
our goals and objectives. Current city goals and objectives focus on high level policy priorities, such as
Economic Recovery and Racial Equity, as well as specific projects and initiatives that the City will
undertake in service of those policy priorities. In June 2021, the City identified the following needs:
• We would like more clarity into how progress is being made against goals and objectives. How
do we know if we’re on track?
• While projects are thematically related to Council’s policy priorities, we would like a way to
measure the impact of short-term project-based work against long term policy objectives. How
do we know if we are moving the needle?
To meet these needs, the City has spent the last six months socializing performance measurement
practices and techniques with staff and defining useful measures to track progress towards the Council’s
four policy objectives.
FY 2022-2023 Steps
Over the next year, the City will:
• Collect and measure data to determine the current state for each of the identified metrics
• Identify any data quality issues, and adjust metrics if necessary
• Analyze metrics over time to determine trend lines
• Set targets and stretch goals for each of the metrics if targets are not already defined by the City
or relevant departments. The targets will be informed by the baseline and trend lines for each
metric
• Align projects and initiatives to desired metrics and use data to see if those projects are making
a meaningful difference
Performance Metrics
City staff have identified 15 metrics to start collecting, measuring, and analyzing in the next fiscal year to
track progress towards the Council’s key policy areas. In addition to these 15 metrics, City staff are
tracking other metrics internally that measure performance towards department specific goals and
objectives.
We will report progress against the 15 metrics described below to Council at least twice a year with the
mid-year and annual budget reports.

Section I. Overview
Background
Marin County’s oldest and largest City, San Rafael lies between San Francisco and California’s famous
wine country. The City is in central Marin County and, while serving as the County seat, is the
economic, financial, cultural, and service center of the region. With a history dating back almost 150
years, the public infrastructure includes miles of streets and sidewalks, numerous public buildings,
acres of medians and open space, and many other assets.
The City has a tradition of prudent financial management, including maintaining public assets in good
condition to minimize lifecycle costs. Residents and business owners greatly value the beauty of the
community’s built and natural environment and have high expectations regarding the upkeep of
public facilities. These factors have led the City to engage in active planning of capital improvements.
The City of San Rafael’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a comprehensive, multi-year planning
tool used to guide the City’s decision-making process for construction, repair, and replacement of City
assets such as roadways, storm drain systems, parks, City buildings, and public safety facilities. The
CIP document summarizes projects, including their funding sources, and prioritizes projects after
analysis and coordination with other City departments to ensure a comprehensive and equitable
approach is achieved. In the City of San Rafael, a new CIP budget is developed every year outlining
proposed improvements for the next three years. When the City’s annual budget is adopted, the CIP
for that year is also adopted.
The CIP seeks to balance the need to repair and replace existing assets and to deliver new assets
where they are most needed considering available resources. The CIP reflects a process to identify
and prioritize community values utilizing the core principles of Together San Rafael.
Incorporated in 1874, San Rafael has an aging infrastructure and backlog of deferred maintenance of
City-owned facilities and assets. With the development of the CIP each year, more projects are
identified and requested than available resources can accomplish. To this end, staff developed a
model to prioritize and select projects to move forward for consideration.
CIP Process and Project Selection
Projects identified in the CIP are primarily driven by staff evaluation or engineering studies, public
comments, and reports such as the 2040 General Plan, 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
(BPMP), the Facility Assessment Study, and the 2021 Downtown Precise Plan. City staff also receive
input from community members, the City Council, Department Directors, and commissions such as
the Parks and Recreation Commission to identify and include new projects.
Project selection and priority is based on recommendations by a Rating Committee consisting of key
staff from various City departments. When rating projects, the Committee considers
health/safety/liability, priority initiatives, time sensitivity of funds involved, and the ability of a
project to maintain or enhance functionality. These four criteria, which are weighted factors shown as
percentages, are further defined as follows:
6 | P a g e Capital Improvement Program FY 2022-23 to FY 2024-25
1. Health/Safety/Liability (35%) – Projects that are critical to public health and safety or significantly
reduce the City’s risk of liability will receive a higher rating.
2. Priority Initiatives (20%) – This category assigns priority to projects based on the City’s goals, including
projects that advance equity in the community, the guiding principles of Together San Rafael, the
General Plan, and City Council/community supported projects.
3. Time Sensitive Funds (25%) – CIP projects funded by state or federal grants often have funding
deadlines or project milestones. As such, grant-funded projects will be rated higher to accommodate
timely-use-of-fund requirements from the granting agency.
4. Maintain/Enhance Functionality (20%) – This category rates projects according to the importance and
urgency of the proposed repair, rehabilitation, or replacement. Proposed maintenance than can be
deferred will be rated lower than a pressing maintenance item associated with a critical City asset.
Once the Rating Committee has prioritized projects, staff reviews available funding and allocates an
order-of-magnitude budget for the highest ranked projects from each category. Staff also
recommends retaining a contingency budget in each category as opposed to allocating all available
funding to projects. This will ensure that should unanticipated needs surface mid-year, staff have
available funds to address this without impacting planned projects. Should contingency funds remain
at the end of the fiscal year, they will be allocated to a project during the next fiscal year.
Section V of this document provides a table of the rating criteria above as well as a summary of the
final ratings based on the Rating Committee’s ranking. The following flowchart outlines the process
staff follow during the development of the CIP.

Section II. Project Funding
Fund Types
Capital Improvement Program projects are paid for through a variety of different funds. Each fund
type has its own source of revenue as well as restrictions governing its use. The table below
summarizes the primary funding sources.
Fund # Fund Name Description
205 Stormwater
Fund
Established to fund stormwater maintenance, programs, and
improvements throughout the City. Fund #205 receives annual
revenues from the City’s Stormwater Activity fee (Municipal Code
Chapter 9.40).
206 Gas Tax;
Measure AA;
Senate Bill 1
Funds
The Gas Tax is revenue collected and subsequently distributed by
the State of California based on a percentage tax on each gallon of
gas purchased in San Rafael. Gas Tax may be used for capital
projects or maintenance on local streets, roads, traffic, and
bicycle/pedestrian facilities.
Fund #206 also collects annual Measure A Transportation Sales Tax
dollar (distributed by Transportation Authority of Marin), a, ½-cent
sales tax approved initially by voters in 2004 and reapproved in
November 2018.
208 Childcare Fund Projects identified in the CIP as utilizing Childcare Funds are
restricted to facility improvements at the City’s childcare centers.
235 Baypoint
Lagoon
Assessment
District
The Baypoint Lagoons Lighting and Landscape District was formed to
protect and enhance wildlife habitat and water quality in Baypoint
(Spinnaker) Lagoon and the adjacent diked salt marsh.
236 Loch Lomond
Assessment
District
The Loch Lomond (Melo-Roos) Assessment District was established
in 1992 to pay for the repair and maintenance of the stormwater
system infrastructure in the District.
240 Parkland
Dedication
This fund was established to account for long-term developer
deposits used to acquire and increase capacity of the City’s park
infrastructure.
241 Measure A Measure A was a nine-year ¼ percent transactions and use tax that
was passed in 2012 and expired in March 2022. This tax was
managed by the County of Marin. The purpose of the tax is to care
for existing parks and open spaces, support regional community
parks, projects, and programs and to further farmland restoration.
Pending the June 2022 election results, Measure A work plan for FY
22-23 will be prioritized by Library and Recreation, in concert with
the Park and Recreation Commission. This work plan will be brought
Capital Improvement Program FY 2022-23 to FY 2024-25 9 | P a g e
to the City Council in the first quarter of FY 22-23 for review and
approval.
246 Traffic
Mitigation Fee
Traffic Mitigation Fees are an impact fee charged to a developer in
connection with the approval of a private land development project
with the purpose of offsetting or subsidizing public improvements
made necessary by the private development. The City utilizes Traffic
Mitigation Fees for circulation-related projects identified in the 2040
General Plan.
Fund 246 is a subset of Fund 206 projects. Due to limited available
funds in Fund 246, projects that are eligible for both Fund 246 and
Fund 206 have been ranked together under Fund 206 until
additional funding is collected for Fund 246.
420 Measure E Measure E was passed by San Rafael voters in November 2013
extending an existing 0.5% sales tax for 20 years and adding 0.25%
(25 cents on a $100 purchase). In February 2014, the City Council
directed staff to set aside the revenues from the added quarter
percent to fund public safety facilities improvements.
501 Parking
Services
Projects identified in the CIP as utilizing Parking Services Funds are
restricted to parking-related projects, including maintenance and
upgrades at City parking garages and parking lots.
603 Building
Maintenance
The Building Maintenance Fund supports routine maintenance and
capital projects associated with the City’s buildings, parks and other
facilities. The Building Maintenance Fund is an internal revenue
fund, which means General Fund monies are the sole source of
revenue.
Grants
(various)
The City actively seeks grant funding for capital projects and
programs. Grant funding is available from regional, state, and
federal agencies for safety, transportation, emergency response,
and other types of projects.
Fiscal Year 2022-23 Funding and Revenue Update
While some CIP projects are grant-funded, most are not and are paid for through Funds 205
(Stormwater), 206 (Gas Tax), 246 (Traffic Mitigation), and 603 (Building Maintenance). Within each
fund type is an Operating Budget which consists of expenses related to maintenance of
infrastructure, equipment purchasing, miscellaneous contractual services, Annual Programs, and
other non-project related work. Additionally, after deducting the Operating Budget from the total
available funding in each fund type, staff allocated a 15-percent contingency of the remaining funds
to provide a buffer for unanticipated expenses which may arise mid-year.
In anticipation of the federal infrastructure funding distribution and several grant funding
opportunities arising this next fiscal year, the City has set aside money in Fund 206 (Gas Tax) for
priority projects in the funding tables. This money would be used for the city’s financial match for
unsecured grants.
10 | P a g e Capital Improvement Program FY 2022-23 to FY 2024-25
Staff is not anticipating any revenue reductions from the pandemic in Funds 206 (Gas Tax) or 246
(Traffic Mitigation) this fiscal year and have budgeted accordingly when recommending projects in
the CIP. The two funds that continue to be impacted are Funds 208 (Childcare) and 501 (Parking
Services). The Library and Recreation Department as well as Parking Services had to suspend or
postpone planned CIP projects last fiscal year and will again do the same until revenues return to
appropriate levels.
Capital Improvement Program FY 2022-23 to FY 2024-25 11 | P a g e
FY 2022-23 Grant Activities
Grants are a critical component of the City’s capital project funding. While some grant applications
can be completed by a single staff member in a few days, others take months of cross-departmental
coordination, extensive public outreach, and consulted expertise. Below is a list of the applications
Public Works submitted during this past fiscal year:
Federal
Community Block Development Grant (CDBG): CDBG is a program providing annual funding
through the federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) on a formula basis to
states, cities, and counties for development and improvement projects in low and moderate-
income neighborhoods. Each year Public Works receives around $100,000 in CDBG funds to
utilize towards capital improvement projects in regions of the City that meet the program’s
income eligibility. Funds have historically been used for capital projects which specifically
benefit the Canal neighborhood.
State
Land Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)– After not receiving the State Park Program Round 4
grant during fall 2021 and spending six months of cross-departmental coordination and eight
public outreach events, Public Works and Library and Recreation staff used data and findings
from this extensive work to apply for the LWCF application for the Pickleweed Park
Enhancements Project early in 2022. LWCF is a matching assistance program that grants
agencies 50% of the cost of acquisition and/or development of outdoor recreation sites or
facilities. The grant focuses on park access, multi-use parks for all age groups, public health,
safety, beautification, and preservation. This application seeks about 45% of approximately
$9.2m to convert the natural grass soccer fields to synthetic turf and install new recreation
amenities. The city will be notified whether the application was successful in summer 2022.
California State Library State Funded Grant – The State Library fund is a targeted grant
opportunity for the design of the San Rafael Downtown Carnegie Library Preservation,
Renovation, and Expansion. The original 1909 Carnegie Library and 1959 expansion need
upgrades to meet current seismic, accessibility, and building code standards. In addition, the
library will be expanded to account for a space for children's storytime, community programs,
expanded collections, and public learning and discovery space for the benefit of the entire
community. The city applied for this grant in the spring 2022 requesting $1 million of the
design fees and anticipates hearing if the grant was successful by fall 2022.
Active Transportation Program (ATP) – ATP is a highly competitive statewide program
created to increase and/or enhance biking and walking, user safety and mobility, public
health, and reduce greenhouse emissions. In 2022 ATP released a request for projects that
covered a four-year cycle, when past ATP cycles have been two years. The program also
ensures that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits. In June 2022, staff applied
for two ATP applications. After being unsuccessful for ATP in 2020, staff met with the granting
12 | P a g e Capital Improvement Program FY 2022-23 to FY 2024-25
agency this past winter to review the application for a pedestrian and bicycle bridge crossing
the San Rafael Canal between Harbor Street and the Third Street/Embarcadero Way
intersection. After this meeting the application was revised to request $1,575,000 to fund the
Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase. In addition, City staff applied
for $4,000,000 for the Canal Active Transportation Experience Improvements project which
includes street lighting, sidewalk gap closures, curb ramp improvements, bicycle boulevard
treatments, and secure bicycle parking. The city anticipates hearing if the application is
successful in December 2022.
Child Care Development Minor Renovation and Repairs grant– This grant funding
opportunity can be used towards modernization or expansion of existing childcare facilities to
increase or recover capacity in disadvantaged communities. In late winter 2022, the city
applied for this funding to design the replacement of the portable buildings used for the
Pickleweed Children's Center. The city is also planning on applying for construction funding as
grant opportunities arise. The award date for the design funding is anticipated in October
2022.
Local
San Francisco Bay Trail Project – The Association of Bay Area Governments, having received
funding from the State Coastal Conservancy, issued a call for applications for trail planning
and construction projects that will complete gaps in the San Francisco Bay Trail. In April 2021,
staff applied for $225,000 in funds to subsidize the installation of bicycle facilities on Grand
Avenue between Second and Third Streets, a segment that constitutes the upper reaches of
the designated Bay Trail. The Bay Trail Steering Committee approved this project in October
2021.
Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) Grant: The Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM)
is the local administrator of the TFCA funds. In April 2021, TAM put out a call for projects.
TFCA funds the implementation of ridesharing programs, purchasing clean fuel vehicles for
transit operators, implementation and maintenance of local arterial traffic management,
congestion pricing, construction of bicycle facility improvement projects, and construction of
projects that result in motor vehicle emission reductions. In April 2021, City staff applied for
funding to extend the Grand Avenue cycle track north to Fourth Street and in Fall 2021, the
City was notified they received $335,000.
Note Regarding “Unsecured Grant” in Funding Tables
The Project Funding Tables, found in Section VII of this document, illustrate which projects are planned to be
completed with available funds within the next three fiscal years and include design/construction estimates for
most projects. In some cases, a high-ranking project cannot be completed with available City funds thus
necessitating that City staff secure additional funding thru grants. Many factors govern whether sufficient
grant funding can be obtained such as project eligibility, required local City matching funds, timely-spending
requirements, maximum available grant funding, overall project competitiveness, etc. The note “Unsecured
Grant” is used when a project cannot be completed with available City funds and staff is either actively
pursuing grant funding or is seeking applicable grant opportunities that may become available in the future.

RESOLUTION NO. 15101
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
APPROVING FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT AT
$170,762,486
WHEREAS, California Constitution Article XIIIB, which was approved as
Proposition 4 by the voters of the State of California on November 6, 1979, imposes on the
state and on each local jurisdiction a limitation on the amount of budget appropriations
they are permitted to make annually (the “Appropriations Limit”, sometimes referred to as
the “Gann Appropriations Limit”) and limits changes in the Appropriations Limit to an
annual adjustment for the change in the cost of living and the change in population; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 7910, which implements Article
XIIIB, requires that the governing body of each local jurisdiction shall establish its
Appropriations Limit at a regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special meeting; and
WHEREAS, as permitted by Proposition 111, adopted by the voters in 1990, the
City has elected to use the percent change in the population of San Rafael from January
1, 2021 to January 1, 2022, and the percent change in California’s per capita personal
income, for the calculation of the annual adjustment to the City’s Appropriations Limit; and
WHEREAS, documentation used in the determination of the City’s Appropriations
Limit has been available to the public in the Finance Department as provided by
Government Code Section 7910;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of San Rafael,
pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIIB and Government Code Sections 7901 through
7914, does hereby establish the Appropriations Limit for fiscal year 2022-2023 for the City
of San Rafael at $170,762,486 as documented in Exhibit A, and further establishes the
2022-2023 Appropriations Subject to the Gann Appropriations Limit at $91,883,786 as

= Value selected for Factor calculation
(a) Includes increase for Paramedic Tax Revenue Generated by Measure P
(b) Includes increase for Paramedic Tax Revenue Generated by Measure I
https://www.dof.ca.gov/Forecasting/Demographics/Estimates/documents/PriceandPopulation2021.pdf
Note:
(c) Reduce the limit by $1,142,323 to reflect the amount associated with
Measure P at the time the limit was increased in fiscal year 2011-2012 for
Measure I
(d) 2015-16 - The Limit is reduced by $4,743,389 for the Paramedic Tax -
Measure I for the increase of $3,890,000 added in 2011 - 2012 that
"Sunset" or Expired after 4 years at the end of 2015.
County assessment roll factor for FY10/11 is an outlier. Reclaculate using State per capita income
factor for FY10/11 to ensure that the city falls below the Gann limit under each scenario for
conservatism.
(e) 2020-21 - Appropriations subject to the limit declined due to both the
reduction in budgeted revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as
well as the exclusion of debt service on the 2018 bonds beginning in FY21.
