SUBJECT: 2020-21 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Per the City’s Financial Reporting and Budget Administration policy for interim reporting,
receive and file an update on the status of the City’s current financial position, Major City Goals,
and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2020-21.
DISCUSSION
The accompanying Financial Report for the third quarter of FY 2020-21 (Attachment A)
provides a high-level overview of the City’s financial condition as of March 31, 2021. The report
highlights revenue and expenditure actuals for the first nine months of the fiscal year. It also
includes an update on the Meta Goal strategies for the 2020-21 Supplemental Budget. The report
includes a CIP update and highlights milestones projects from the third quarter. The report’s
focus is on the General Fund; however, updated information is also provided for each of the
City’s four enterprise funds.
Background
With the 2019-20 Financial Plan, the City implemented quarterly financial reports to the City
Council to help monitor fiscal performance. The purpose of reporting on financial position more
regularly is to monitor economic development and fiscal health ongoingly and to respond to
developments as trends begin to form. The third quarter report includes any budget adjustments
that were made at the mid-year review on February 2, 2021.
Report Contents
Section 1: General Fund Update: The City’s overall revenue and expenditure picture was
updated in February 2021 as part of the 2020-21 mid-year review. As of March 31, 2021,
operating expenditures trend on target with past years’ third quarters. The overall economic
bounce back from the initial COVID19 shutdown has been stronger than anticipated with most
revenues tracking at or above current projections indicative that budgetary assumptions for the
fiscal year will hold.

Packet Page 15
Section 2: Enterprise Funds: The enterprise funds are also tracking in line with budget
projections and will likely end the year as stated in the adopted budget.
Section 3: Meta Goal Update: As part of the Supplemental Budget adoption, the Council
concluded that the City’s top priority for 2020-21 is to protect the public health of San Luis
Obispo, provide essential services, and assist the community in economic recovery via a Meta
City Goal. As of third quarter, it is estimated that over $1.6 million dollars of operating budget
and 56,303 hours of staff time have been allocated towards advancement of Meta Goal efforts.
Section 4: Capital Improvement Plan Update: Public Works CIP Engineering and
Management staff have delivered multiple projects over the first three quarters of the fiscal year
as listed in the below table, including the installation of new playground equipment at Islay Hill
Park, new public safety communications tower and equipment on South Hills, and high
efficiency LED lighting installations in the 919 Palm Parking Structure. Notable ongoing work
includes the Terrace Hill Pipeline and PRV Rehabilitation project and the Railroad Safety Trail
from Taft to Pepper.
Section 5: Outlook and Conclusion The impact of COVID19 on the economic forecast has
trended more favorably than originally anticipated but it is still unknown how long COVID-19
related effects will continue. As staff expects a return to “normal” over the remainder of the 2021
calendar year, there will be a need to address resource deficiencies and catch up on programs
addressing pent-up customer demand. These fiscal impacts along with updated long-term
forecasts for the General and Enterprise Funds were presented to Council on April 20, 2021 with
the Strategic Budget Direction report and will be included in the 2021-23 Financial Plan.
Policy Context
According to budget policy F, Goal Status Reports of major program objectives, will be formally
reported to the Council on an ongoing, periodic basis.
Public Engagement
Public comment on the item can be provided to the City Council through written correspondence
prior to the meeting and through public testimony at the meeting. The Third Quarter Financial
Report for FY 2020-21 (Attachment A) will be posted on the City’s website for public review.
CONCURRENCE
Operating departments review and monitor financial results on a regular basis. The respective
fiscal officers reviewed the numbers and will be closely monitoring the budget for the remainder
of the year.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

Third Quarter Financial Report
Fiscal Year 2020-21
Introduction
This report provides an overview of the City’s financial position through the third quarter of fiscal year
2020-21 (January 1 - March 31, 2021) for the General Fund and the four enterprise funds. It also provides
an update on the status of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects and City Meta Goal.
Notable milestones or trends within the third quarter are addressed and detailed throughout the
document. The report is broken down into the following sections:
General Fund Update
The City’s overall revenue and expenditure picture was updated in February 2021 as part of the 2020-21
mid-year review. As of March 31, 2021, operating expenditures trend on target with budgetary
appropriations. The overall economic bounce back from the initial COVID19 shutdown has been stronger
than anticipated with the gradual reopening of the economy and the nationwide vaccine administration,
but some uncertainties remain. While some revenues are tracking more favorable than originally
anticipated, many of these revenues come along with increased expenditures as the City can re-open and
offer programs that had to be closed. Below are the highlights from the third quarter (year -to-date):
COVID19: The COVID19 pandemic began more than one year ago. Along with the reduced revenues, the
pandemic brought unfunded costs associated with communication, supporting economic recovery, and
protecting the health of the community. When 2018-19 Audited Financials were presented to Council on
March 17, 2020, approximately $6 million in one-time undesignated fund balance remained available to
support the City’s efforts. The City Council therefor adopted a resolution to keep these funds in
undesignated fund balance and give the City Manager the authority to allocate towards COVID expenses

As part of the adopted Meta City Goal, the City has been focusing efforts and funding to support the local
economy and promote a safe environment during the health crisis. An overview of these actions can be
found here.
General Fund Revenue
Sales Tax: As of March 31, 2021, about 63% of the City’s forecasted sales tax revenue for this fiscal year
had been collected due to the timing of disbursements from the California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration (CDTFA. This accounts for revenue earned July 2020 through February 2021. As with most
California cities, actual sales tax revenues for the last nine months have been higher than initial
projections. This was partially due to an increase in the state and county pool allocation which helped
offset the decrease in tax revenue from general consumer goods and other negatively affected industries.
Online sales are the largest contributor to the countywide pool allocation. The chart below shows a year
over year comparison of sales tax revenue for the third quarter.

Item 9
Packet Page 19
Property Tax: Most property tax is collected in the third and fourth quarter of the fiscal year. The latest
property tax forecast provided by the County confirms that the economic downturn has had little effect
on the housing market and economists are predicting that it will remain stable into the foreseeable future.
Current year property tax revenue assumptions assume a 4% increase from FY 2019 -20, followed by a
stable 3% annual growth in the five-year forecast. The City has received about 62% of its property tax
forecast and expects to meet the projection of $19.5 million by year-end.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): Tourism activity (or lack thereof) and the resulting TOT collection remain
top concerns for the City. However, despite hotel occupancy rates remaining below normal levels for this
time a year, staff expect tourism to spike in the coming months due to pent up demand. Now that vaccines
are readily available and the County has entered the “orange tier”, San Luis Obispo will likely benefit as a
drive-to destination for many surrounding areas. Current year revenue projections are about 20% lower
than pre-Covid years. Given the expected bounce back in fourth quarter travel, the City will likely meet or
slightly exceed the revenue forecast of $6.2 million.
Cannabis Tax: The City’s first storefront retail cannabis shop opened mid-August 2020 providing an
increase in monthly cannabis tax revenues. Given this is a new revenue stream for the City, it is difficult
to predict how demand will level out as more retail business open. The year-to-date tax revenue has
already surpassed projections, but will offset the projected reduction of $200,000 in cannabis fee revenue
due to the approved fee adjustments. . In outer years, the City adjusted forecasts.
Development Review: The Community Development Department is funded by fees for service; therefore,
it forecasts revenue based on a cost of service “baseline” and up to 75% of the revenue above that
baseline is eligible for placement in a designated account that can be used to fund one-time development
services resources. This process helps ensure that the department has funding available for periods of
high activity but is not over-staffed during periods of low activity. The City has been in period of high
development activity for the last several years and based on economic indicators and the expected
ongoing demand for housing, this trend is expected to continue during the five -year forecast period To
address the ongoing need for resources, the department is proposing to increase its “baseline” in the
2021-23 Financial Plan and hire ongoing resources. This update will significantly lower (or eliminate) over-
realized revenue, but it will ensure consistent and quality staff resources which are often difficult to hire
on a temporary or contractual basis.
Recreation Services: The Parks & Recreation department significantly lowered revenues due to Covid-19
required program closures and the uncertainty when they could resume. Fortunately, many programs
have been able to re-start and the department is expecting to see revenues that exceed projections. This
will help partially offset the increase in expenditures needed to run the programs and abide by increased
health and safety protocols.
Important note on fees and services: Overall, fee and service revenue is tracking significantly above
projections. It is important to note that some of this revenue is offset by increased expenditures as
programs can re-open and resume regular schedules. Additionally, , the City has received over $1.8 million
in un-budgeted mutual aid reimbursement to help offset the cost of the City sending fire support services
to other jurisdictions during last fall’s fire season. All things considered; staff expect fee revenue to
outperform original (conservative) projections.

Covid-related expenses have also been submitted to FEMA and are awaiting processing.
There are no significant variances to point out in the general fund. It is expected that contract services and
other operating expenses track above 75% because annual purchase orders are set up at the beginning of
the year and the funds are considered “Obligated” from that point forward . Staffing should track at a
consistent level and 71% is consistent with where the City should be given the number of payrolls that
were posted as of March 31, 2021 and the Fiscal Health Contingency Plan hiring chill still in effect.

Utilities: Water and Sewer Funds
The tables below include third quarter actuals for FY 20-21 compared to the projection. The “Total
Expenditures & Obligations” column includes both costs that have already been incurred and costs that
are obligated on purchase orders. The “Budget Adjustments” column includes carryover from FY 19-20
and any Council approved or City Manager approved changes that happened after original budget
adoption.
Revenue: Revenues are on track. In accordance with an order from the Governor, water services are not
being discontinued for non-payment. In addition, the City has chosen not to send past due closed accounts
to a collection agency to accommodate customers who are having trouble paying their bills because of
the Covid related economic downturn. Both moratoriums have resulted in higher-than-normal past due
account balances. The Utilities department continues to monitor past due account balances and, at the
recommendation of the City auditor, has created a “doubtful accounts” general ledger account to record
those balances that are unlikely to ever be collected.
Water consumption overall through the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 was very similar to the same
quarter last year. Residential and irrigation consumption increased but commercial consumption
decreased as compared to the last year.
Expenditures: There are no significant variances to point out at this time. As with the General Fund, both
Utilities have obligations that are contracted and paid at the beginning of the fiscal year (Nacimiento
Source of Supply) or on a quarterly basis. Staffing should track at a consistent level and 65% and 68%
expended is consistent with where the funds should be given the current staffing levels and the number
of payrolls already posted.

Parking Fund
The tables below include third quarter actuals for FY 20-21 compared to the projection. The “Total
Expenditures & Obligations” column includes both costs that have been already been incurred and costs
that are obligated on purchase orders. The “Budget Adjustments” column includes carryover from FY 19-
20 and any Council approved or City Manager approved changes that happened after original budget
adoption.
Revenue: The parking fund significantly lowered its revenue forecast in the 2020-21 budget because of
expected loses due to COVID19. The department revenues are tracking higher than projected but are
lower than prior years. The Parking Fund anticipates that parking meter and enforcement revenues will
outperform projections made at mid-year because collection of fees across all parking programs have
been re-established.
Expenditures: The Parking Fund has been heavily relied upon to support economic recovery efforts during
FY 2020-21. Parking incentives have caused a significant reduction in revenues, but expenditures did not
decrease at the same level. In light of this, the Parking Fund remains in a position where expenditures are
expected to outpace revenues. Full detail about the Parking Fund status and proposed enhancements can
be found in the Strategic Budget Direction Report located here.
Transit Fund

Revenue: Most of the Transit Fund revenue is from State and Federal grants that are received at the end
of the fiscal year; therefore, having received only 37% of the forecasted revenue at this point is normal.
Additionally, the Transit program still has an unused balance of CARES Act funds that will be cover most,
if not all, operating expenses incurred in FY20-21 that is accessible to the program at the end of the fiscal
year.
Expenditures: There are no significant variances to point out at this time. The contract services line-item
signifies the same considerations as the other funds. In the case of the Transit fund, the majority of the
Contract Services budget is for the annual transportation services contract with First Transit, Inc.

Outlook and Conclusion
The impact of COVID19 on the economic forecast has trended more favorably than originally anticipated
but it is still unknown how long COVID-19 related impacts will continue. As staff expects a return to
“normal” over the remainder of the 2021 calendar year, there will be a need to address resource
deficiencies and catch up on programs addressing pent-up customer demand. This need along with an
updated long-term forecast will be outlined in the 2021-23 Financial Plan.
It is also important to note that while the City has successfully maintained a balanced budget, it will be
unable to follow through with its Fiscal Health Response Plan goals of paying a $3.0 million toward
unfunded liability during FY 2020-21
The Fiscal Health Contingency Plan remains in full effect with hiring, purchasing, and travel chills and if
staffing expenditures continue to track in a linear fashion, there may be slight savings in that category.
The enterprise funds are also tracking in line with budget projections and will likely end the year as stated
in the budget.
