INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this report is to present the preliminary three-year Capital Improvement
Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 through FY 2022-23 for review, as well as to present the Measure
A – Open Space Work Plan for approval. This presentation will provide the City Council and community
members an opportunity to participate in reviewing and sharing feedback relating to the CIP and the
Measure A – Open Space Work Plan. While the CIP will be formalized in a full, detailed report and
incorporated into a final, proposed citywide budget for FY 2020-21 to be presented to the City Council for
approval in June 2020, staff seeks City Council feedback of the preliminary CIP project list at this time.
The Measure A – Open Space Work Plan will also be approved as part of the recommended action of
this report.
The preliminary capital improvement program work plan was discussed at the City Council Finance
Subcommittee meeting on April 14, 2020, and the Measure A – open space work plan was discussed at
the City Council Finance Subcommittee meeting on May 12, 2020 at which time staff was directed to
bring forth these items to the City Council.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
BACKGROUND:
Measure A
In November 2012, an ordinance of the County of Marin (“Measure A”) was approved by a two-thirds
majority of the electors voting on the Measure. Measure A imposes a nine-year, one-quarter of one
(0.025) percent retail transactions and use tax (TUT) that is administered by the County of Marin. The
purpose of Measure A is to support the preservation of Marin County parks, open space preserves and
farmland. The tax is estimated, at current collection levels, to generate approximately $10 million per
year. This level of revenue changes during the life of the Measure due to the variability in annual receipts.
Measure A’s expenditure plan outlines three (3) programs for spending the sales tax proceeds. Each
program is described by its funding allocation, and types of projects and activities that the funding
supports.
•County Parks and Open Space Program (65%)
o 80% is to protect or restore natural resources and maintain existing county parks and open
space preserves.
o 20% is dedicated to the permanent preservation of land for public open space, community
separators, wildlife corridors, greenbelts, and habitat.
•Farmland Preservation Program (20%)
o To protect Marin County farmland at risk of subdivision and development and preserve
Marin's working farms and ranches.
•City, Town, and Applicable Special District Program (15%)
o Funding is allocated to cities, towns, and special districts to manage parks, open space
preserves, nature preserves, recreation programs, and vegetation to promote biodiversity
and reduce wildfire risk.
Of the 15% that is allocated to towns, cities and special districts (approximately $2.12 million), the City of
San Rafael receives 22.91% based on its population. The City uses this funding to support park
maintenance, vegetation removal and management, protection of open space, and park-related capital
improvement projects.
Though they go under the same name, Measure A Parks is not to be confused with Measure A
Transportation Sales Tax, administered by the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM).
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 3-year period: FY 2020-21 through FY 2022-23. 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 in order 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 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.
ANALYSIS:
Measure A
Since 2013, the City has received $2,974,635 in Measure A funding, $890,146 of which has been used
for park-related capital improvement projects. Table A shows a year-by-year breakdown of the park
improvement projects.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
Table A: Measure A Funding of Park Capital Improvement Projects
Historically the City has used Measure A funding to support four general activities: park maintenance,
vegetation management, protection of open space and park improvements. In April, the City of San
Rafael received notification that its allocation for FY 2020-21 was estimated at $365,003. Due to the
financial impacts COVID-19 has had and will continue to have on local sales tax, Marin County
predicted a 25% reduction below last year’s Measure A allocation.
As a result of the reduced allocation, Measure A will be unable to absorb the same amount of activities
and services as in years prior. Therefore, the funding to open space rangers and additional vegetation
management will be removed. As the services are valuable to the City, Staff is looking for other eligible
funding sources such as Measure C (Marin Wildfire Prevention).
• Vegetation Management and Parks Maintenance: Public Works utilizes $155,000, or 42% of
Measure A funding for a vegetation management and parks maintenance program that focuses
on City parks and open space. The program relies on goats and vegetation “chipper days” to
reduce invasive species and to control erosion.
• Park Capital Improvements and Maintenance: The City’s FY 2020-21 Capital Improvement
program will rely on $210,003, or 58% of Measure A funding, to support the following projects:
o $150,000 will be used to fund the development of a comprehensive, City-wide Parks and
Recreation Master Plan that is intended to be integrated with the City’s General Plan. The
Master Plan will provide a framework for directing City resources toward parks, facilities
and programs, and for addressing current and future community recreational needs over
the next ten (10) years.
o $60,003 will be allocated towards the highest priority parks projects at the outcome of the
City-wide Parks and Recreation Plan.

These planned expenditures are summarized in the Measure A Work Plan for July 1, 2020 through
June 30, 2021 (Attachment 2).
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Project List Development: Projects identified for the CIP are recommended by Public Works staff in
the course of their work, studies and reports, including, but not limited to, the 2018 Bicycle and
Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) or the Facility Assessment Study, other Department Directors or, may
arise from direct community or Council input. Additionally, projects with specific discrete funding
sources are included in the CIP.
While most street and transportation projects are informed by the General Plan, BPMP, or traffic
studies and observations, improvement projects to City parks and buildings/facilities have historically
been informed by Department Directors, the publicly appointed Parks and Recreation Commission, and
the Facilities Maintenance division of Public Works.
New to the CIP development process this year was the creation of a working group consisting of staff
from various City departments. The working group met to discuss proposed projects and rank them
based on the following criteria: 1) health/safety/liability; 2) priority initiatives/City goals; 3) time sensitive
funds; and 4) maintain/enhance functionality. Furthermore, these four criteria were all weighted, with
the category of health/safety/liability worth 35% of the overall points available. Having a weighted
system allows for the most important projects to rise to the surface and ensure they are a priority.
Another change to the CIP this year involves the use of a 15% contingency in which not all available
funding is allocated to deliver CIP projects. Prior experience suggests that unanticipated needs arise
mid-year and having a contingency fund to cover these ensures staff are not unnecessarily performing
adjustments to the current CIP priority list. In some fund types, the number of projects exceeds
available funding. In this case, these future projects are identified in the CIP as “unfunded.”
Major new projects identified in the FY 2020-21 to FY 2022-23 CIP include:
•Third Street Safety Improvements Project
•Francisco Blvd West Multi-use Pathway Phase II Project
•Schoen Park Modifications
•Canal Neighborhood Pedestrian Improvements
•Woodland Avenue Retaining Wall
•San Rafael High School Crosswalk Improvements
•Southern Heights Blvd at Courtright Rd Retaining Wall
•Park and Recreation Master Plan
•Fifth Avenue and Garden Parking Lot Resurfacing
•City Hall Council Chambers Accessibility and Security Improvements
Project Funding:
The five major annual funding sources for the CIP, including Measure A Parks, are:
Fund
#
Fund Name
(CIP Category)
Average
Annual
Revenues
Description
603 Building
Maintenance
$500,000 The Building Maintenance Fund supports both routine maintenance
and capital improvement projects associated with the City’s
buildings, parks and other facilities. The Building Fund is an internal
revenue fund, which means General Fund monies are the sole
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 5
(City Owned
Property,
Parks)
source of revenue for the fund. Historically, $500,000 in General
Fund monies has been contributed annually to the Building Fund.
241 Measure A
(Parks)
$210,003 Measure A is a nine-year ¼ percent transactions and use tax that
was passed in 2012 and is 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. Library and Recreation, in concert with
the Parks and Recreation Commission, provides input each year as
to which Parks projects should be prioritized to receive Measure A
funding.
205 Stormwater
Fund
(Drainage)
$840,000 Established to fund Stormwater maintenance, programs, and
improvements throughout the City—including maintenance and
repair of the City’s 12 storm water pump stations. This fund
receives annual revenues of approximately $840,000 from the
City’s Stormwater Activity fee (Municipal Code Chapter 9.40).
206 Gas Tax
(Streets/
Transportation)
$3,300,000 The Gas Tax is a revenue distributed from the state based on a
percentage tax on each gallon of gas purchased in San Rafael.
Gasoline tax is collected and distributed to jurisdictions by the State
on an annual basis and may be used for capital projects and
maintenance to local streets, roads, traffic, and bicycle pedestrian
facilities.
Fund #206 also collects annual Measure A Transportation Sales
Tax dollars (distributed by Transportation Authority of Marin). A ½-
cent sales tax approved initially by voters in 2004 and reapproved
in November 2018.
Note: As a result of COVID-19 and the decrease in economic and
fueling activity, the City has followed a generally accepted estimate
in assuming a 30% decrease in gas tax revenue assumptions for
FY 2020-21 in the CIP.
246 Traffic
Mitigation Fee
(Transportation)
~$600,000
(depends on
development)
Traffic Mitigation Fees are charged to a developer in connection
with the approval of a development project. The funds are used to
support improvements to the traffic/transportation network. The City
utilizes Traffic Mitigation Fees for circulation projects identified in
Exhibit 21 of Policy 6A of General Plan 2020 and similar qualifying
projects.
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”.
Historically, staff transfers $400,000 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. Personnel costs
of employees preforming street and road maintenance and repairs total over $2M annually in the
General Fund and are an allowable use of State gas tax monies. Due to the economic uncertainty
caused by the COVID-19 virus and need for additional General Fund support, staff propose an
additional one-time transfer of $1,246,000 to the General Fund to more fully support personnel costs for
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 6
street maintenance crews supporting Gas Tax projects above and beyond the annual $400,000
contribution.
CIP Prior-Year Completed Projects: As a part of the annual CIP, the Department also recaps major
projects completed in the prior fiscal year, including the following:
• Essential Facilities: Fire Station 57
• Essential Facilities: Public Safety Center (near completion)
• Francisco Blvd West Multi-use Pathway Phase I Project
• Quiet Zone Implementation for Larkspur Extension
• City Hall Solar Panel Installation
• Pickleweed Park Playground Improvements
• Street Restriping 2018/19
• Second and Third Street queue cutters
• Street Resurfacing FY 2018/19
FISCAL IMPACT:
Measure A
The impact of approving the Measure A – Work Plan is the authorization of $365,003 in spending from
restricted, Measure A tax proceeds. Projected FY 2020-21 Measure A revenues of $365,003 are
sufficient to support the proposed Work Plan. This Work Plan has no fiscal impact on the City’s General
Fund.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the preliminary Capital Improvement Program because
the information being provided is for the purpose of discussion, public input, and direction to staff.
However, for planning purposes, the funding source by project phase and year is identified for each
project in the CIP. The figures in the CIP are engineer’s estimates and are not based on actual bids
received. It is important to note that while the City Council is accepting an informational report relating
to a preliminary list and prioritization of projects within the CIP, including which projects are funded vs.
those that remain unfunded, all CIP projects are subject to the City’s Purchasing Policy, including the
City Council and City Manager contract thresholds at the time a contract is awarded. For example,
when a construction contract is awarded for a project and the contract amount is above City Manager’s
award authority ($175,000 for Public Works projects), the contract and project would be brought forth to
the City Council for approval.
OPTIONS: The City Council has the following options to consider relating to this item:
1. Accept informational report regarding the preliminary Capital Improvement Program and provide
direction to staff. Adopt a resolution approving the FY 2020-21 Measure A – Open Space Work
Plan.
2. Accept informational report regarding the preliminary Capital Improvement Program and provide
direction to staff. Adopt a resolution as amended, approving the FY 2020-21 Measure A – Open
Space Work Plan.
3. Accept informational report regarding the preliminary Capital Improvement Program and provide
direction to staff. Do not adopt a resolution approving the FY 2020-21 Measure A – Open Space
Work Plan and provide direction to staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a resolution approving the Measure A – Open Space Work Plan for Fiscal Year 2020-
2021.

Section I. Overview
Background
Marin County’s oldest City, San Rafael lies midway 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 taking into account available resources. Beginning this fiscal year, the CIP reflects
a new process to identify and prioritize community values and core principles of Together San Rafael.
The City’s previous CIP prioritization process established several years ago focused on infrastructural
conditions, regulatory mandates, and project readiness. In contrast, the updated CIP development
process utilized this year incorporated other factors such as equity, whether or not projects already
have community support, and public health.
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 and/or
reports such as the 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP). City staff also receive input from
community members, the City Council, Department Directors, and commissions such as the Parks and
Recreation Commission.
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
6 | Page Capital Improvement Program FY 20/21‐22/23
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:
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 City’s goals,
including the guiding principles of Together San Rafael, the General Plan, City
Council/community supported projects, and that advance equity in the community.
3. Time Sensitive Funds (25%) – CIP projects funded by state or federal grantes 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. New this year, staff
recommends retaining a contingency budget in each category as opposed to allocating all available
funding to projects. This will ensure that should an unanticipated project 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.

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.
208 Childcare Fund Projects identified in the CIP as utilizing Childcare Funds are
restricted to facility improvements at the City’s childcare centers.

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 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
Capital Improvement Program FY 20/21 ‐ 22/23 9 | Page
Mitigation Fees for circulation‐related projects identified in the
General Plan.
420 Measure E Measure E was passed by the voters of San Rafael 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 20/21 Funding and Revenue Reductions
While several 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.
The public health state of emergency due to the COVID‐19 pandemic has created severe financial
burdens for the City, its residents and businesses. Inevitably, this economic downturn is resulting in a
dramatic reduction of the City’s revenues impacting CIP funding revenues in Funds 206 (Gas Tax), 208
(Childcare), 241 (Measure A‐Parks), and 501 (Parking Services). The proposed projects in this year’s CIP
represent those projects staff can deliver based on revenue assumptions at this time, including known
projected reductions. Staff plan to track revenues throughout the fiscal year to determine if additional
reductions in project budgets are necessary.
10 | Page Capital Improvement Program FY 20/21‐22/23
Assumptions or comments for each of these funds includes:
Fund # and Type Assumptions Comments
206 (Gas Tax) FY 20/21 – 30% Reduction
FY 21/22 – 15% Reduction
FY 22/23 – 0% Reduction
Reduced revenues have already been
considered when determining which projects
to pursue in the CIP.
208 (Childcare) Unclear at this time how much funding
decrease there may be. Previously started
design contracts are being suspended until
further notice.
241 (Measure A‐Parks) FY 20/21 – 25% Reduction
501 (Parking Services) Unclear at this time how much funding
decrease there may be. Previously planned
design contracts for FY 20/21 have been
postponed. No planned projects to pursue in FY
20/21.
The following is a breakdown of these specific fund types for Fiscal Year 20/21 to illustrate how these
funds are typically utilized.
