Item Number: 4a

SUBJECT: FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROPOSED 2025-27 LOCAL REVENUE
MEASURE ALLOCATIONS
RECOMMENDATION
In preparation for the 2025-27 Financial Plan adoption, recommend to the City Council the
proposed allocations of Local Revenue Measure funds between capital and operating
expenditures as referenced in the report and consistent with approved priorities of the
Local Revenue Measure.
DISCUSSION
Overview
The City’s Municipal Code Section 3.15.040 Fiscal Accountability Provisions calls for
specific citizen oversight and fiscal accountability provisions including an independent
annual financial audit. The results of the Citywide audit are generally presented to the
City Council in January each year and include a discussion of the Local Revenue
Measure.
The Municipal Code also requires staff to prepare revenue estimates when developing
proposed use of funds. These revenue estimates take into consideration the prior year
audited results, current year receipts, and industry trends provided by consultants.
Audited Financial Results
Audited financial statements for the Local Revenue Measure are contained in the
citywide Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which can be found on the
City’s website at the following address:
https://www.slocity.org/home/showpublisheddocument/36938/638706380931200000
The ACFR details the revenues, expenditures, and fund balance for the Local Revenue
Measure:

Revenue Projections
When the budget for FY 2024-25 was developed, optimism abounded about the Federal
Reserve’s monetary policy and the impact it would have on consumer spending and
sales tax revenue. Specifically, markets expected that interest rates would be lowered
drastically and this was expected to unleash pent up demand for automobiles, home
construction and renovations, and other interest rate sensitive categories which
generate sales tax revenue.
This expectation of increased consumer spending has not come to fruition. On the
advice of HdL, the City’s sales tax consultant, expectations for the local revenue
measure have been reduced by just over $1M annually for the current fiscal year and
going forward. A comparison of the last forecast with current expectations can be found
below:
Because the Local Revenue Measure ended FY 2023 -24 with just under $1.8M in fund
balance, there will be no impact to budgets or operations in the current Fiscal Year. The
2025-27 Financial Plan will be developed based on these latest assumptions and less
funding will be available.
Community Identified Priorities
FY 2023-24 FY 2024-25 FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27
Last Forecast 30.6M 31.9M 32.7M 33.7M
Current Forecast 30.6M 30.6M 31.6M 32.5M
Variance - (1.3M) (1.1M) (1.2M)
Page 10 of 21
In developing the 2025-27 Financial Plan, the City conducted rigorous public outreach
to better understand the community’s priorities generally and for use of Local Revenue
Measure funds specifically.
The 2025-27 Community Priorities Survey was conducted via the City’s online
engagement platform, Open City Hall, and was open for one month from November 12,
2024 to December 13, 2024. The City utilizes several outreach methods and distribution
channels for the survey including:
1. Utility invoice inserts
2. City website (Open City Hall)
3. City news & e-notification
4. Press releases
5. Social media
6. Outreach to over 100 community groups
A total of 1,629 survey responses identified the following priorities for the City as a whole:
Community members in attendance at the Community Forum on January 23rd, 2025
ranked the Local Revenue Measure priorities in the following order:
Page 11 of 21
2025-27 Financial Plan Proposed Local Revenue Measure Allocations
In the next two years, the City will need to constrain planned expenditures to match the
reductions in available funding. The Local Revenue Measure, as a cyclical revenue
stream, will need to be re-allocated each year based on funding availability, identified
need, the ballot measure priorities approved by voters, and the priorities expressed by
community members during the early stages of the financial planning process.
Community members have consistently ranked the services provided to address
homelessness, maintain infrastructure, support downtown vitality, and improve housing
supply and affordability as top priorities overall and for use of the Local Revenue
Measure.
In order to preserve these valued services for the community, staff recommend a
reduction in Capital Expenditures funded by the Local Revenue Measure and an
increased allocation to fund the services the community wants. This re -allocation will
also preserve funding to maintain many of the newly acquired assets, like the North
Broad Street Park, the currently under construction Laguna Lake Dog Park, and the
vehicles recently added to the City’s fleet.
This reduction in Capital Expenditures has been developed with an eye for the
operational impact that these projects can have. Staff is carefully evaluating
construction of new assets understanding that they can create additional maintenance
needs. Maintenance projects often reduce operating costs and save money for the City
over time and should be preserved. High priority projects that the City has already
committed to, like Righetti Park, will move forward, and may create additional pressures
on City finances.
The table below shows the percentage of Local Revenue Measure funds typic ally
budgeted for capital expenditures (the “Capital Ratio”):

Staff’s recommended allocation of Local Revenue Measure funds results in a modest
reduction to capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue as seen in the table below:
As economic conditions and community priorities evolve in future financial plans, staff
will reconsider the appropriate capital funding levels.
Draft Capital Improvement Plan
As part of the development of the 2025-27 Financial Plan, staff has prepared a preliminary draft
of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that aligns proposed projects with the community’s Local
Revenue Measure (LRM) priorities. This draft represents the balanced two-year CIP, focusing on
funding projects that are ready for programming, design, or construction —ensuring that staffing
resources are in place to support successful project delivery. The table below categorizes all
proposed projects by priority.

CIP Fund Optimization & Reallocation
As part of the draft CIP development, staff conducted a review of existing CIP accounts to ensure
that available funds are used effectively and aligned with current city gold and priorities. This
effort allows the City to direct resources toward projects that are ready for delivery in the 2025-27
CIP while maintaining flexibility for future funding decisions. The table below represents two
categories in which staff were able to reallocate LRM funding towards capital projects in the 2025-
27 Financial Plan.
1. Completed Projects with Remaining Balances – Some projects have been fully delivered and
closed out but still have unspent funds. Staff is recommending the reallocation of these remaining
balances to support priority projects in the upcoming CIP cycle.
2. Projects Previously Funded – Certain projects received funding for design in previous financial
plans, but based on staffing resources and competing priorities, have yet to be funded for
construction. Based on this, the CIP Review Committee has recommended prioritizing projects that
can move forward within this two-year cycle. For projects that are not scheduled for construction
at this time, and have funding appropriated into the project account, staff is recommending the
reallocation of those funds to support the 2025-27 Financial Plan. Design and construction finding
can be reconsidered in a later CIP when resources allow.

Preview of the 10-Year CIP
Beyond the balanced two-year CIP, staff is developing a constrained 10-year CIP to provide a longer-term outlook on project delivery.
While LRM resources have not yet been assigned beyond the two -year cycle, this preview helps illustrate anticipated project phasing
and scheduling.
Two key initiatives in the 10-year CIP include the phased development of Righetti Parks and the implementation of Active
Transportation Plan (ATP) projects. The Righetti Parks project will be delivered in multiple phases, beginning with core infr astructure
and key amenities, followed by expanded recreational facilities and park enhancements in later years. The ATP projects will also be
phased to align with available funding and staffing capacity, prioritizing high-impact improvements that enhance pedestrian and bicycle
connectivity across the city.
The following tables provide an overview of these projects and their anticipated delivery timelines.

CIP Development Process
The CIP development process began with a citywide call for projects, where Department Heads
identified and submitted capital project requests. Each department then ranked its projects based
on specific criteria to ensure alignment with operational needs and strategic goals. The CIP Review
Committee further evaluated and ranked projects using the City Charter’s established criteria,
which consider factors such as alignment with Council Goals, operational impact, and staffing
capacity.
Throughout this process, staff worked iteratively with the CIP Review Committee to refine project
rankings and ensure the CIP remained balanced. Once a balanced plan was established and the
Committee reached consensus on project prioritization and scheduling, the draft was presented to
the City Manager for review and approval. The Leadership Team then provided further input
before advancing the plan.
Most recently, staff conducted 2-2-1 meetings with City Council members to gather initial
feedback. At this stage, staff is actively seeking input on the draft CIP to identify potential issues
or concerns before returning for final approval in May. This review period provides an opportunity
to refine the plan further and ensure alignment with community priorities and funding availability.
