BACKGROUND: During the process of developing and recommending the fiscal year 2020-21 budget, staff provided updates on the fiscal performance of the General Fund and projections through fiscal year-end. The fiscal year 2020-21 City-wide budget was last presented to the City Council on June 21, 2021, during the budget approval process for the fiscal year 2021-22. At that point, staff shared updated projections and noted adjustments would be formally requested as part of the year-end update. Since the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 2021, staff has reviewed the revenues and expenditures in the General Fund, special revenue funds and other special purpose funds. This review has yielded adjustments that are specific to year-end and clean up in nature to special revenue funds and other special purpose funds. Aside from the adjustments recommended during the June 21, 2021 meeting, staff is recommending a few year-end adjustments to align the budget with actuals. These budget adjustments are recommended by the City’s outside auditors as the approval by the City Council provides for complete budget accountability. The purpose of these amendments is to formally authorize the expenditures and transfers required in certain funds to fulfill their respective purposes and functions through June 30, 2021. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 ANALYSIS: General Fund Revenues and Other Sources: Revenues: The original FY 2020-21 budget, adopted on June 15, 2020, projected $75,483,680 in revenues. This was based on the soundest information available at the time as economists and revenue experts forecasted reductions in revenue based on the pandemic. The City worked with two revenue consulting companies (HdL and Management Partners) and other local agencies to project losses for FY 2020-21. Fortunately, federal aid (stimulus measures and extra unemployment dollars) played a significant role and revenues were not impacted as was originally projected. In the mid-year budget review (updated budget) presented on March 1, 2021, revenues were increased by $5,500,000 for a projected balance of $80,983,680 based on higher than anticipated sales and use tax receipts as well as the passage of Measure R and receipt of CARES Act funds. On June 21, 2021, revenues were projected to be $83,429,224, which is $2,445,544, or 3% above the updated budget, based on activity through April. The projected increase was in property transfer tax of approximately $366,000, higher than anticipated Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) payments received from the County of $367,970 and continuing increases in sales tax revenues estimated at approximately $1,711,574. At that time, staff recommended waiting until closing out the year to ask the City Council to formally approve these adjustments to the budget. As it closed out the remainder of the fiscal year, the City continued to experience a favorable increase in revenues, predominately resulting from higher than anticipated sales tax and use tax receipts. Staff recommends an increase to budgeted revenues in the amount of $3,672,393 to account for the increase in sales and use tax received for May and June. The City’s sales and use tax consultant, HdL calls the large increases in sales and use tax a “surge” in which this recent period is likely going to be the high point of a 3-year window. The City’s three industry groups that have seen large increases in FY 2020-21 are autos and transportation, building and construction, and the County pool allocations. HdL believes this is due to an inflated economy and this one-time money will not continue into FY 2021- 22. While staff do not disagree, it is difficult to predict what portion of the overall sales and use tax increases are one-time in nature. Revised revenues of $87,101,617 are 15% above the originally adopted budget. Other sources: In the original budget, the gas tax fund was scheduled to transfer to the general fund $1 million more than it would normally have in previous years. The purpose of this was to help offset losses. Since the City fared better than expected, staff recommends returning the excess $1 million to the gas tax fund so it can be allocated towards capital improvement projects (CIP). Other sources (transfers in) to the general fund were transferred as a result of the review of old debt services funds that had served their purpose and were closed out. Expenditures and Other Uses: Expenditures: As part of the approved FY 2020-21 budget, expenses were reduced by $6,686,000 as the City was preparing for projected revenue losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and acted immediately to reduce expenses. During the fiscal year, an effort by all departments was made to keep to the original budget except for one request to increase appropriations during the mid-year budget SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3 update for the Public Safety Center total utility and janitorial service costs in the amount of $275,000. Staff has no other recommended increases to expenditures. Other uses: Due to starting the year with no available fund balance and with having to endure the year with significantly reduced program activity while still utilizing staff for other activities such as disaster service workers, staff recommends an additional transfer of $500,000 from the general fund to the Recreation fund. The Recreation fund receives an annual subsidy of approximately $2 million each year from the general fund as approved in the original budget. Staff recommends the transfer from the general fund to the essential facilities fund in the amount of $1,537,629. When Measure E, the use tax of 0.75% was voted into place in November 2013, it was approved by Council that 1/3 of the tax would be transferred to the essential facilities fund at year-end to assist in construction costs and debt servicing. This year, the amount was approximately $4.5 million but the general fund made principal and interest payments towards the debt on the facilities in the amount of $3 million. This leaves a balance of $1.5 million to transfer to the essential facilities fund to support capital projects. Staff is requesting the approval of $2,037,629 to transfers out. Proposed changes to the general fund revenues, expenditures and transfers are detailed in the table below. Resources Proposed revenue changes Increase to revenues based on actuals $6,117,937 Proposed transfers in changes Transfer funds back to the Gas Tax Fund as losses did not materialize (206) (1,000,000) Transfer from inactive debt service funds (302,304,306) 171,143 Transfer from Loch Lomond Assessment District Fund to match to Engineer’s report (236) 3,755 Total proposed changes to resources $5,292,835 Uses Proposed expenditure changes $0 Proposed transfers out changes Transfer to Recreation fund to support operations (222) 500,000 Measure E use tax transfer to Essential Facilities Fund (420) 1,537,629 Total proposed changes to uses $2,037,629 Net proposed changes (Resources less Uses) $3,255,206 Expenditures and Transfers out as adopted fiscal year 2020-2021 $81,581,228 Expenditures and Transfers out as approved through June 30, 2021 $81,856,228 Expenditures and Transfers out with proposed changes $83,893,857 SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4 The net impact of all proposed changes on the general fund is $3,255,206 of additional revenues and transfers. Other Funds Staff is requesting the approval of $2,116,235 of increased resources of which $78,606 pertains to a transfer from the paramedic tax fund to the essential facilities fund adhering to policy which states the paramedic tax fund must maintain a 10% operations reserve and the remainder is to be transferred to the essential facilities fund to support capital improvements for the paramedic program, $500,000 pertains to the general fund subsidy to assist the recreation fund, and the remainder pertains to the $1,537,629 use tax transfer from the general fund to the essential facilities fund. Staff is requesting the approval of $746,496 of decreases in uses of which the bulk is to reduce the transfer of $1 million from the gas tax fund and into the general fund, $171,143 is being transferred to the general fund from debt service funds where debt has been fully repaid, $78,606 the amount transferred out of the paramedic tax fund and into the essential facilities fund, and $3,755 is being transferred from the Loch Lomond assessment district to the general fund to match the Engineer’s report. Staff is requesting the approval of a decrease of $746,496 to transfers out. Proposed changes to the other funds revenues, expenditures and transfers are detailed in the table below. Resources Proposed revenue changes $0 Proposed transfers in changes Paramedic tax capital transfer to the Essential Facilities Fund (420) $78,606 To support operations in the Recreation Fund (222) 500,000 Measure E use tax transfer to the Essential Facilities Fund (420) 1,537,629 Total proposed changes to resources $2,116,235 Uses Proposed expenditure changes $0 Proposed transfers out changes To decrease transfers from the Gas Tax Fund to the General Fund since losses did not transpire (206) (1,000,000) Transfer from inactive debt service funds (302,304,306) 171,143 Transfer from the Paramedic Tax Fund to the Essential Facilities Fund (210) 78,606 Transfer from the Loch Lomond Assessment District to the General Fund per Engineer’s report (236) 3,755 Total proposed changes to uses $(746,496) Net proposed changes to Other Funds (Resources less Uses) $2,862,731 SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 5 The net impact of all proposed changes on other funds is $2,862,731 of additional revenues and transfers. Other year-end communications: The accounting treatment and presentation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) proceeds on the financial statements is still to be determined. Staff intends to discuss treatment of the proceeds with its auditors and will report on the determination when the audited financial statements are brought forth to City Council in November/December. As staff completes its preparation of the government wide financial statements for the year-end audit, net unassigned funds are estimated at $6-$7 million, with the vast majority already allocated to planned expenses in the coming year(s). Staff will not have a finalized amount until the audit is completed as there could be other revenues pertaining to FY 2020-21 that trickle in through the end of September and the auditors could have proposed adjustments based on their review. Staff is recommending that the bulk of the net unassigned funds be assigned as following: • $520,357 to the emergency and cash flow reserve to adhere to the City Council approved policy which requires minimum target reserve levels at 10% of general fund operating expenditures. • $533,374 earmarked for furlough repayments which were approved as a part of the labor negotiation process during the fiscal year but not paid out until after year-end. • $4.5 million earmarked in the recently approved 3-year compensation contracts with City labor unions. The net unassigned funds had been projected in earlier months and used as part of determining compensation increases to adjust employee compensation in consideration of comparable agencies. FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 UPDATE General Fund It is too early in the year to predict the status of revenues and expenses. The City is focused on achieving its Goals and Objectives established for the fiscal year and is in the process of filling vacancies essential to meeting our goals, contracting for service for capital improvement projects and other city initiatives. Use of ARPA funds continues to be focused towards the City’s policy focus areas of economic recovery, housing & homelessness, racial equity, and sustainability, climate change & disasters. Expenditures are separately tracked and accounted for to ensure detailed accounting and transparency of eligible uses. Staff has submitted its first compliance report to the Federal government and will be doing so as scheduled. Personnel Update The Community Development Department (CDD) is proposing to replace a fixed term position with a regular city position - a Housing Program Manager. This position would support the City Council Goals and Objectives Housing and Homelessness policy focus area, respond to housing related mandates by Expenditures and Transfers out as adopted fiscal year 2020-2021 $66,169,462 Expenditures and Transfers out as approved through June 30, 2021 $84,025,366 Expenditures and Transfers out with proposed changes $83,278,870 SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 6 the State and would be the primary staff managing the Housing Element update. The role was previously held by a Fixed Term Management Analyst and given the need for ongoing work in housing related matters, CDD is proposing to make this position a full-time permanent position. This position would be covered in part by the general plan implementation fund (50%) and in part by the general fund (50%). The total fiscal impact of this proposed change to the general fund is $3,213 as it is being offset by eliminating the Fixed Term Management Analyst position and 50% funding from the general plan implementation fund. FISCAL IMPACT: This action authorizes the formal appropriation of resources in the 2020-21 fiscal year to support the actual expenditure and transfer activity through June 30, 2021 as described in this report. No spending authority beyond what was spent or committed as of June 30, 2021 is created through this action. This action also authorizes the aforementioned personnel changes for fiscal year 2021-22. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolutions as presented. ATTACHMENT: 1. Resolution approving fiscal year 2020-21 amendments with Exhibit I 2.
