Department Name: Finance Cost Center: Budget For Agenda of: February 4, 2019 Placement: Business Item Estimated Time: 270 minutes FROM: Derek Johnson, City Manager Prepared By: Brigitte Elke, Finance Director SUBJECT: 2019-21 FINANCIAL PLAN PROCESS: GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP RECOMMENDATION Receive and review the summary of community feedback to assist with the formulation and selection of the 2019-21 Major City Goals. DISCUSSION The fundamental purpose of the City’s budget process is to link, through public engagement and strategic deliberation, the interest of the community to the available financial resources to achieve the desired outcome. The process allows the City Council to engage the public in identifying priorities for the community while also providing information regarding the City’s core services, including the day-to-day work and responsibilities carried out by City employees in support of residents’ quality of life. Lastly, the City’s budget process is oriented so that the City Council allocates resources for Major City Goals that represent the priorities for the Council and City staff. Budget Process and Public Engagement This process begins in September when the City Council approves the schedule for all budget related meetings and deliverables needed to adopt the two-year Financial Plan and the annual budget in June. Several Council meetings contain business items dedicated to information that outlines the status of the current Major City goals, the current and long-term capital improvement plan program, a strategic scan of the community, as well as an economic outlook to provide the fiscal framework. Parallel to this process, the public engagement efforts start in October when the community survey is released on the City’s website and advertised through the utility bills, public counter spaces, and several locations in town such as the Senior Center. The City’s 17 advisory bodies are asked to provide goal input, and letters are sent to over 200 community groups seeking input on community priorities. Packet Pg. 3 The Goal Setting Workshop All of this comes together on February 4, 2019, when the City Council dedicates a special meeting for the development of its Major City Goals for the upcoming Financial Plan. In order for the Council Members to review and consider as much information as possible, City staff accumulates all the feedback received through the various means from individuals and organizations alike and makes it available to the Council two weeks prior to the meeting. (See attachments.) This information will be updated with results from the Community Forum and any other feedback received by January 25, 2019. The Council is asked to submit preliminary goals by January 28, 2019, to prepare a base discussion for the February Goal Setting Workshop. The workshop will be facilitated by Don Maruska who will guide the Council through the public hearing and the decision-making process to result in the Major City Goals for the 2019-21 Financial Plan. Once determined, staff will then develop the work programs to achieve the goals and present them during strategic budget direction at the April 19, 2019, Council meeting. CONCURRENCE This item is a Council workshop to establish the 2019-21 Financial Plan Major City Goals. It is an integral part of the budget process and involves the entire City organization and abundant feedback from the community. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15278. Packet Pg. 4 FISCAL IMPACT Budgeted: Yes Budget Year: 2018-19 Funding Identified: N/A Fiscal Analysis: Funding Sources Total Budget Available Current Funding Request Remaining Balance Annual Ongoing Cost General Fund $17,600 $18,559 -$959 State Federal Fees Other: Total $17,600 $18,559 -$959 The Goal Setting Workshop is part of the bi-annual budget process and is integrated into the annual budget appropriation for the second year of the financial plan together with the Community Forum. The efforts for staff and other resources to facilitate the workshop are part of various departmental budgets. Specific costs are made in the Finance Department’s Budget division for printing, video recording, and meeting facilitation, for an estimated cost of $18,559. Due to the Community Forum being held at the Vets Hall, the actual cost will be slightly over the budgeted amount. However, the $959 can be absorbed within exciting resources in the Finance Department. In previous years, the Community Forum was held at the Ludwick Center which is a City owned property and came at no cost to the City. For public outreach efforts, the work was absorbed into the City’s existing communications contract with AMF Media Group. ALTERNATIVE The Council could decide to postpone a decision on the Major City Goals for 2019-21 and conclude at a later date. This is not recommended as the schedule is carefully laid-out to present a preliminary financial plan in early June. Packet Pg. 5 ATTACHMENTS Table of Contents A. Goal Setting Workshop Agenda B.

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusive Page 3 of 16 Packet Pg. 13 2019-21 Financial Plan Proposed Major City Goals Tourism Business Improvement District Background The Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) board recommended the goals for consideration in the 2019-21 work program to improve the visitor experience in San Luis Obispo. The TBID board did not weigh its goals, keeping them all equally important. Goals 1. Goal #1: Support Partnerships that enhance tourism  Fiscal sustainability in other methods aside from increase in TOT  Recognize tourism as an integral aspect of the City’s economic development efforts and support the tourism promotion activities of the TBID and PCC.  Increase funding for the Promotional Coordinating Committee in its efforts to promote cultural, recreational, and social events that bring and keep tourists in San Luis Obispo.  Support with city-wide special events (in the ways of not hindering city required permits, applications, etc.) and providing tools necessary for events to be compliant 2. Goal #2: Safety and homelessness  Continue the City’s efforts to address homeless population.  Enhance safety relative to transient populations throughout the City so residents and tourists can feel safe while enjoying activities in San Luis Obispo. 3. Goal #3: Vitality of downtown & other business districts  Free City wi-fi  encourage and support the growth of new business courting SLO and wanting to build in SLO  Creating some sort of policy or process for abandon buildings/storefronts specifically in downtown 4. Goal #4: Parking + Connectivity  feasible parking around downtown  Accessibility of public transportation (trolley) 5. Goal #5: Infrastructure + Beautification  Cleanliness of the city in general and specifically in tourist central areas/ hotel locations  Infrastructure improvements 6. Goal 6#: Homestay Compliance  Continue the enforcement to gain compliance of properties with the City’s Homestay Ordinance with the goal for 100% compliance with Homestay policy within the City. Page 4 of 16 Packet Pg. 14 2019-21 Financial Plan Proposed Major City Goals Planning Commission Background The Planning Commission prioritized the following goals based on evaluation on the completion status for the 2017-19 Major City Goals and General Plan goals; community need, and input received over the past 2 years; special and urgent conditions that need to be addressed; and the availability of City resources to accomplish the identified goals and work programs within the financial plan timeframe. Goals 1. Land Use: Implementation of the Downtown Concept Plan and Revisit Special Focus Areas Implement the Mission Plaza improvements as identified in the Downtown Concept Plan. Revisit the Special Focus Area development guidelines for the Foothill Boulevard/ Santa Rosa Area and Upper Monterey to establish detailed design guidelines that enhance neighborhood integrity and the diverse community character. 2. Housing: Increase Affordable and Workforce Housing Supply Emphasize affordable housing programs, encourage flexible use and non-traditional housing product types to facilitate development of workforce housing. Review existing regulations to identify cost and time saving measures to promote the development of accessory dwelling units, while maintaining the owner occupancy requirement to protect neighborhood compatibility and wellness. 3. Sustainability: Reduce GHG Emissions by Reducing VMT and Improving Residential Energy Efficiency of Pre-1990 Housing Stock Update and implement the Climate Action Plan with emphasis on: 1) encouraging project design that promotes accessible, convenient and safe pedestrian, bicycle and transit access that reduces project generated vehicle miles traveled by 20-40% below average; 2) developing standards that support infrastructure improvements for alternative transportation and electric vehicles; and 3) identify and implement financial incentives for improving energy efficiency in pre- 1990 housing stock. 4. Multi-Modal Circulation: Improve Walkability and Transit Implement the Multi-Modal objectives identified in the LUCE and the Downtown Concept Plan by encouraging in-fill development to include non-automobile alternatives. Conduct a walkable community survey in major neighborhoods to inform the development of the Active Transportation Plan, and to identify improvements that would encourage and support pedestrian activities for people with varying degrees of mobility. Implement the Short-Range Transit Plan to improve transit ridership by exploring operational improvements that could reduce run times to less than 20 minutes along routes that serve densely populated areas. Page 5 of 16 Packet Pg. 15 2019-21 Financial Plan Proposed Major City Goals Cultural Heritage Committee Background The California Office of Historic Preservation recommends updating historic resource inventories every five years. San Luis Obispo has not done a global revision in thirty-five years, making development decisions difficult and unpredictable. The CLG grant-funded City of San Luis Obispo Citywide Historic Context Statement of 2014 logically leads to a historic resource survey. Goals 1. Update the 36 year-old historic resource inventory and existing historic districts. Page 6 of 16 Packet Pg. 16 2019-21 Financial Plan Proposed Major City Goals Architectural Review Commission (ARC) Background The Community Design Guidelines (CDG), adopted in June 2010, are the guiding principles for the ARC. The ARC’s purview, mission statement, and criteria for project approvals is all contained in the CDG. The ARC has requested an update of the CDG over several Financial Plan cycles and on October 15, 2018 decided to make it their sole recommended goal for the 2019-21 budget. Goals 1. Goal – Update the Community Design Guidelines (CDG) Due to the significant gap in the City’s projected budget, the ARC focused on one goal; updating its major policy document, the Community Design Guidelines. It is timely and important to update the CDG after the adoption of the comprehensive Zoning Regulations Update (September 2018). The Zoning Regulations Update includes a new development review process, primarily changing the focus and decision-making authority of the ARC. Under the new process, instead of final decisions, the ARC makes advisory recommendations to the Planning Commission or Community Development Director, and will conduct more focused, informal, and working session-type meetings. The ARC will be totally focused on design guidelines and will not have to weigh in on things outside their purview (State affordable housing law, environmental review, and parking reductions), which the old process required them to consider as a final decision maker for many types of projects. Updating the CDG will also be very important for consistency with the upcoming updates to the Subdivision and Sign Regulations. If approved as a component of the 2019-21 Financial Plan, the project plan, scope of work, and budget for the CDG update will be prepared with the ARC. While a comprehensive look at the CDG is warranted, the document contains many effective and relevant guidelines to maintain. The ARC discussed working sessions and a subcommittee for the CDG update to do as much of the “hands on” work as possible, with numerous opportunities for public review and input. Of course, planning staff, particularly the ARC liaison would have a key role in this effort. While staff and the ARC can carry some of the effort, it was recognized that some consultant services would be needed to carry out the project. Based on recent similar efforts, a ballpark estimate would be $50,000 in consultant services, in conjunction with staff/ARC to produce a focused update of the CDG. Page 7 of 16 Packet Pg. 17 2019-21 Financial Plan Proposed Major City Goals Promotional Coordinating Committee Background Consistent with its assigned role, the PCC’s proposed goals concentrate on improvements and enhancements that would make the City of San Luis Obispo an even better place to reside and visit. They PCC used community responses from their recent strategic planning exercise to inform and develop the outlined goals. The PCC did not weigh the goals since the members felt that they were equally important. Goals Goal #1: Quality of Life + Public Art Enhance placemaking efforts by supporting Public Art and identify increased opportunities to support additional public art throughout the city. Encourage non-traditional, eclectic, and contemporary forms of public art to enhance arts tourism and serve as point of pride for residents. Ensure that public art is included in all development / projects in the city, both residential and business. Public art should be accessible to all members of the community. Goal #2: Climate Action Plan: Housing+ Connectivity + Sustainability Support implementation of the City of SLO Climate Action Plan. Support housing density, multi- modal transit, increased connectivity, traffic mitigation efforts, and the Climate Action Plan with construction of affordable, green, and net-zero housing. Increase the efforts to make the city more pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Support enhanced bike infrastructure and the completion of the Bob Jones Trail as energy efficient examples to provide transportation for both residents and tourists in a small-scale city with excellent climate. Encourage buffered, green-striped bike lanes with new construction. Identify and research feasibility of bike share model connecting Downtown to Cal Poly, beaches, wine country, and Monterey hotels. Prioritize sustainability throughout the community for businesses, residents and events. Goal #3: Homelessness & Mental Health + Safety Support the city in the addressing of the homeless/ transient / mental health issues that we are facing with our local population and residents. Goal #4: Vitality of downtown & other business districts Support the continuing efforts of community-based organizations to keep the downtown viable. And also support other local business neighborhoods (which tend to be local business) i.e. MoJo, Laurel Lane, Crossroads, the airport district, etc. Page 8 of 16 Packet Pg. 18 2019-21 Financial Plan Proposed Major City Goals Goal #5: Open Space  Enhance awareness and availability of the natural spaces in and around town to residents and visitors.  Continue to look for opportunities to expand the green belt around San Luis Obispo. Page 9 of 16 Packet Pg. 19 Administrative Review Board Background The Administrative Review Board serves as the final decision maker for the City on administrative appeal hearings relating to administrative citations issued for certain contested San Luis Obispo Municipal Code enforcement matters that require a more detailed administrative record. Goals 1.Consistency in enforcement of existing municipal code by citing officers; consistent interpretation of existing municipal code by hearing officers when reviewing citations that are appealed; and raising fines for administrative citations. The goal of more consistent enforcement and adherence to the municipal code by citing officers and hearing officers would be to increase education of the public as to what the requirements of the municipal code are and to reinforce the City’s commitment to consistent enforcement and review when it comes to violations of the municipal code related to neighborhood wellness. With the ongoing, excellent efforts of Police Department, Office of Neighborhood Outreach, the suggestion is for citing officers and hearing officers to support that outreach through increased attention to consistency in enforcement and administrative appeals review. The ARB also suggests review of the level of administrative citation penalties. 2.Increase the cost to appeal to the Administrative Review Board and establish a fee to appeal to a Hearing Officer. Increasing the cost to appeal to the Administrative Review Board so the amount more closely covers the administrative cost of processing the appeal, with the goal of removing more of the financial burden on the City. In line with that increase, the ARB suggests requiring the fines for administrative citations appealed for Hearing Officer review be paid up front and held until the Hearing Officer issues a decision to prevent the filing of appeals solely for the purpose of delaying payment of penalties and resulting “no show” appellants and unnecessary burdens on volunteer Hearing Officer time. Review of an appeal by a Hearing Officer is currently free. If the appeal was granted, the fine would be returned to the appellant. Indigent appellants may submit a financial hardship waiver request through which an appellant could be heard by the Administrative Review Board or a Hearing Officer without having to pay a fee. 3.Enforce the requirement of individual rideshare operators (such as driver-contractors for Uber and Lyft) to have a business license issued by the City. It was confirmed with our Finance Department that other cities, such as San Francisco, have a process by which they receive a list of driver-contractors operating in their jurisdiction in order to enforce the cities’ requirement that each driver-contractor have a business license. The list is provided to the cities by the parent corporation and then utilized by the cities to enforce the code. The goal of this effort would be to increase safety of users by having, at minimum, a list of driver- Page 10 of 16 Packet Pg. 20 contractors operating in the City and making the driver-contractors aware that they are on such a list and subject to business license requirements. 4. Expand education of homeowners regarding their obligation to have a business license if they are renting a room, Accessory Dwelling Unit or home, as a step towards stricter enforcement. It is the belief of the Administrative Review Board that a majority of homeowners within the City are unaware that they are required to have a business license in order to rent rooms in their home, or to rent Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) or homes that they own. There have been recent educational efforts around ADUs, but the global applicability of the business license may not be well understood. Also, enhance education regarding the differences in requirements between long-term and homestay (short-term) rentals. The goal of greater education would be greater compliance, with the follow-up being increased citations for non-compliance. Page 11 of 16 Packet Pg. 21 DATE: October 2, 2018 TO: Brigitte Elke, Director of Finance FROM: Adam Fukushima, Staff Liaison to the Active Transportation Committee SUBJECT:DRAFT FY 2019-21 Active Transportation Committee Recommended Goals On September 20, 2018 the Active Transportation Committee recommended its FY 2019-21 draft goals for Council consideration which are represented in the following table. The projects are ranked in order of importance from most to least desired to fund. Recommended Goal Why Goal is Important Candidate Funding PROJECTS Anholm Bikeway Plan- 1)Design, construct, and maintain bikeway from Lincoln to Ramona 2)Install art and lighting to enhance the US 101 underpass Railroad Safety Trail- Design and construct: 1)Pepper St to the train station 2)Jennifer St. bridge to Iris (connecting to French Hospital Trail) Broad Street Crossing Improvement- Design and construct HAWK beacon at Woodbridge Street Bob Jones Trail- 1)Construct segment from Calle Joaquin to Oceanaire 2)Design and construct bike path extension from LOVR to the Octagon Barn 3)Design grade separated crossing of LOVR at Highway 101 This project will provide a primary low traffic north/south through route for bicyclists serving the downtown core and neighborhoods north of Foothill Blvd; complements projects in the Bishop Peak and Pacheco Elementary School Safe Routes to School Plan This goal provides a huge safety enhancement for a large volume of bicyclists and pedestrians to the University, schools & parks; implements General Plan goals to increase bicycling & walking and supports Grand Jury recommendations to close gaps. This goal improves pedestrian transportation and complements the South Broad Street Area Plan The City-to-Sea trail continues to be a high priority for residents. Additionally, SLO County is moving forward with its section of the trail which will increase the desire for the crossing. Project Funding Sources: State funds Federal funds General fund City debt financing Fundraising efforts Measure G Active Transportation Committee Page 12 of 16 Packet Pg. 22 Misc. Bicycle Facility Improvements- Provide $100,000 in annual funding for misc. projects such as safe routes to school, signing & striping projects ideally incorporated into other construction projects. Pacheco and Bishop Peak- Safe Routes to School Design and construct enhanced bicycle/pedestrian crossing of Foothill Blvd at Patricia and La Entrada Penny Lane Bridge- Design a bicycle/pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks at Penny Lane Prado Road Class I- Design and construct a Class I bikeway from the current terminus of Prado Road to Broad Street. Sinsheimer Park Pathway- Construct a paved path through Sinsheimer Park from Helena Street to the Railroad Safety Trail Islay Bicycle Boulevard- Design and construct the City’s third bicycle boulevard. Broad Street Class I- Design and construct a Class I bikeway from Damon Garcia sports fields to Rockview Place Completing these projects as part of other construction projects results in substantial cost savings. This project has been requested by neighborhood families that have difficulty crossing Foothill as they walk and bicycle their kids to school. This bridge will provide a connection from downtown to the Johnson Avenue and Ella Street neighborhoods via the bicycle facilities recently constructed at French Hospital. Constructing this bikeway connection ahead of development will provide an important east/west bikeway connection and alternative to Tank Farm Road during the Chevron remediation efforts. This project has been requested by residents from throughout the community and provides connectivity from the trail to the park Bicycle boulevards are facilities that bicyclists of all abilities feel comfortable using and therefore increase ridership. In conjunction with the Prado Road Class I bikeway, this segment provides an alternative route to the busy Broad Street corridor. The intent of this goal is to improve east- west connectivity of communities west of the US 101 to the east side of the freeway. PROGRAMS Traffic Safety Education: Educating the public on cycling Program Funding Sources: State and Federal grants Transportation Development Page 13 of 16 Packet Pg. 23 Increase annual funding for bicycle, motorist, and scooter education Ped/Bikeway Maintenance: Maintain $60,000 annually for bicycle and pedestrian facilities awareness and safety reduces collisions. Goal supports Grand Jury goal of promoting safe cycling. Performing pavement maintenance and weed control on pedestrian and bicycle paths will increase the life of these facilities and reduce the risk of accidents. Act funds General fund Measure G STAFFING Active Transportation Manager: Maintain position. The Active Transportation Manager implements the Bicycle Transportation Plan policies and programs, prepares grant applications, and helps manage capital projects.

Page 16 of 16 Packet Pg. 26 Section C Recommended City Goals COMMUNITY PRIORITIES SURVEY Packet Pg. 27 RESULTS OF 2019-2021 FINANCIAL PLAN COMMUNITY PRIORITIES SURVEY BACKGROUND Citizen feedback and input is a cornerstone of the City’s budget process and an integral part of the decision making on Major City Goals. In addition to encouraging participation in the budget workshops, the community survey asks the City’s residents to share their priorities for the City to accomplish over the next two years. Additionally, it asks for feedback on possible program and service adjustment in order to accomplish the goals. SURVEY DISTRIBUTION In order to reach as many residents as possible, the City utilizes several outreach methods including: • Utility invoice inserts • City website (Open City Hall) • City public counters • Press releases/newspaper ads • Social media/videos • Outreach to 200 community groups and partners SURVEY PARTICIPATION A total of 1,548 online and hard copy survey responses were received by January 16, 2019 (the total reflected on the Open City Hall page and attached report is slightly different, 1,587 responses, due to an administrative error, but it did not affect any rankings). It is worth noting that this reflects a 24% increase in participation compared to the same survey conducted two years ago, when 1245 responses were received over the same time period. This increase is primarily attributable to increased outreach efforts and use of the Open City Hall, where survey responses were able to be submitted online. Of the 1,548 responses received, 492 were submitted via mail and 1,056 were submitted online. SURVEY RESULTS It is important to point out that this is not a “scientific survey” or “statistically representative” and as such caution should be used when interpreting the results. Nonetheless, this has been the historic practice and the results are useful—especially when viewed in conjunction with the other forms of feedback the Council will receive in this process—in gaining additional insight into the wishes, views, and concerns of the community. The following charts summarize the top themes for each question. Some questions and responses were “open-ended” and were grouped into themes where possible. These themes help to identify areas for further consideration and discussion. Additional analysis is available on Open City Hall (www.slocity.org/opencityhall) and all survey responses are included in this report. How Does this Compare with Other Surveys? Two Years Ago. The same survey on priorities was conducted two years ago as part of the 2017-19 Financial Plan. The results are similar, but several new themes emerged such as climate action and downtown vitality.

Introduction 2 ii. Summary of responses 3 iii. Survey questions 6 iv. Individual responses 7 Packet Pg. 30 Introduction Every two years, the City establishes the top priorities to make San Luis Obispo an even better place to live, work and play. The City Council then matches the resources to achieve these priorities through adopting the budget in June. This sets the City’s course of action for the next two years and helps the City to continue to provide the exceptional services and programs the community cherishes. The City anticipates entering the 2015-2017 budget planning process in better financial shape than two years ago. Some revenue sources have rebounded, budgets have been trimmed and the City has taken steps to reduce costs. All of these actions have helped keep the City financially healthy, even in a time of the “Great Recession.” However, other economic uncertainties linger with the State and Federal budgets, the City’s budget is still tight, and we face an ongoing need to reinvest in streets, bridges, technology, vehicles and facilities. All of these may lead to potentially complex budget decisions. So regardless of the specific fiscal circumstances, it is critical that we have an effective process for setting the most important, highest priority things for the City to do in the next two years. That’s where you can help! Share Your Thoughts on the City’s Priorities! This survey is your opportunity to tell the City: * What issues are important to the community? * What priorities should the City focus on during the next two years? * How might the City adjust other service needs to accomplish these priorities? The City Council needs to know your thoughts on what the community’s priorities should be so that available resources can be best allocated to achieve them. Now it’s time for you to share your ideas for 2015-2017 priorities. The City needs the help of the community in two important ways: 1. Fill out and return the short survey by clicking the “Post” button below. 2. Attend the Community Forum, January 13, 2015 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Ludwick Community Center, 864 Santa Rosa Street. This forum is an opportunity to present your ideas to the Council and discuss them with other community members. City staff will compile the community feedback for the Council to review in advance of its goal-setting workshop, January 24, 2015 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. During this public workshop, the Council will deliberate to set the Major City Goals and Other Important Objectives for the next two years.

We need to implement a similar measure G sales tax that are dedicated to infrastructure improvements to qualify for these grant moneys. Considering we have a significant tax revenue from tourist visiting the area, we could have a significant increase in tax revenue from visitors alone. Additionally, we should look at increasing parking fees downtown. Their is a potential to change the operations of this city service into a money generating service. Our fees are extremely low, considering the amount of infrastructure needed to store vehicles. Again, many tourist visit SLO and these are opportunities to generate funds for the infrastructure we have in place to accommodate the tourist industry. Increasing fees can have multiple benefits beyond just generating funds, it has the potential encourage people to walk, ride, or bus downtown instead of having to pay parking fees. There may be a way to give a long term parking pass to those working in the downtown corridor to make sure increased fees are not harming businesses or workers disproportionately.

One idea is to ;have a one or two-year pilot program that shortens the waiting time for a bus to 10 or 15 minutes max. Also reduce the ride fee to say $.50. This temporary experiment could result in significant new interest in bus ridership and if that happened then fare box would increase significantly to justify a more permanent solution. This requires rental of a few more buses and hiring of drivers for this temporary period of time during which the fare box would likely not fully cover the expenditure. However, the goal is to demonstrate to residents how easy and especially convenient it would be to get around town using transit if practical and cost effective. Most people I know, including myself, who have used transit in other places has been positive if wait times are short. Many residents are older, afraid of traffic, or not fit enough for cycling in our city so that is not an option for many people. Thus, dedicating a lot of money and resources for cycling improvements alone is not responsive to the needs of most residents including seniors. Tweaking a popular movie reference, "Make it reasonable and they will come".

By becoming a "self-help county", the County and City will be eligible for more State and Federal funding assistance. Consider retaining funds, but delaying higher-cost non-essential capital projects (i.e. Palm/Nipomo Parking Structure) for future years when the economy has regressed and construction costs have reduced. The local economy is strong right now and contractors are busy--bids are less competitive and corresponding construction costs are high.

Staff should be no different. City staff has doubled in past 10 to 20 years while population is slightly increased. This is not justifiable. If developers are not paying the true cost of their project reviews then increase price for permits and reviews. Please no more water and sewer rate increases! These costs have more than doubled over ten years! Curtail fleet purchases, car allowances, discretionary spending. Reduce hours of operation of various city services where possible. More aggressive attention to and reduction of unfunded pension liability is paramount along with employee concessions.

More space for people and a more welcoming environment means more desire to spend time downtown, more revenue for businesses downtown, and more happiness and community interaction for our residents. Please prioritize wider sidewalks and protected bicycle infrastructure on downtown streets, particularly Higuera, followed by Marsh and Monterey. I'm not sure if it would completely offset the cost of improvements, but many downtowns have seen higher spending (and higher sales tax revenues) after such changes.

And even the strongest proponent of the project should be able to admit it is controversial for the community. This project and those like it are not and should not be a priority. This is like a family going on an expensive vacation when they are 10,000’s of thousands of dollars deep in debt. The priority is again, backwards.

For every project in the budget, I encourage you to ask whether it's so crucial that it's worth asking the poorest members of our community -- those who may have to decide between food and medicine or school clothes and gas in the car -- to pay for it in this way. Would you look them in the eye and say "cut down on your insulin a bit so we can afford X?" If not, cut X out of the budget or find another way to fund it than taxes. Continue this process until you've got your budget down to the real essentials. Stop forcing the poor to pay for improving the property values of the rich.

Reduce or freeze wages for a year or two and use that for low income housing. Otherwise, the disparity will just grow and there will be more and more low income workers and residents. With the 40% increase in water/sewer rates, I would think there is considerably more revenue coming in to use for some infrastructure projects. Work with the County to increase the TOT again. Tourists use a lot of water, so maybe they should pay more to use that dwindling resource. If that is a ballot issue, then introduce the measure to consider it. Maybe bikes should be licensed and taxed to pay for the bike trails. Name not available October 22, 2018, 5:37 PM Question 1 • I live in the City of San Luis Obispo.

Start with the highest priorities first. As a city you are responsible to provide infrastructure (water, sewer, garbage, electricity, and roads - some by private companies) and public safety (police and fire). Everything else is gravy and is not truly required. After you pay for the required items prioritize the gravy using a collaborative team from the public and stop when the money runs out. And by all means accelerate pension reforms. Private companies are abandoning the benefit. It is imperative that cities and counties do as well.

Seems this is a passion project by some select council members and citizens but not by the actual majority of residents in the city and specifically the neighborhood involved. Most people are for helping the environment/etc...but the city and the council has to remember it is first and foremost a business. That means doing what makes sense morally and financially.

Bicycling to work is not an option for most community members, especially when they work in neighboring cities.

There will be winners and losers, so make sure that your decisions are in the best interests of the city, whatever those are determined to be. Be decisive where sufficient data warrants it, seek additional data to guide the decision-making processes when there is insufficient data, seek and maintain buy-in from stakeholders, and then stick to your plan to the best of your ability, knowing full well that such things are fundamentally organic and that the environment in which you operate is a fluid one and will constantly be changing. Don't spend too much time trying to achieve perfection. Spend considerable time trying to build a workable consensus about desirable goals. Be prepared to compromise in the short-term to achieve the long-term results that are desired. Avoid the temptation to write off opposition groups, although there may be an intransigent and extremely vocal and partisan minority upon whom not too much time should be spent. If certain shareholders don't come to the proverbial table in good faith, then limit the damage that they can do.

I would also support some type of "use" permit that generated additional income to support the open spaces.

Packet Pg. 64 Next, the city needs to attract businesses. There is a college in the town, and this means extra potential for jobs. However, the city in the past has created a mechanism to exclude businesses. You really need to evaluate this, stop the practice, and do things to bring businesses to the area. Diablo Canyon just left, and/or was pushed out/not welcomed. How many other well paying jobs does the city want to avoid? With housing, to lower costs, cut the dual process red tape. For example, if I want to build a house, I pay an architect and engineer, and comply with the building codes. Then, I need to pay the city more than I paid the architect and engineer, both of whom stamped the project and put their liability on it, to review the project. It is just stupid. The employees then feel they need to justify their jobs and salary, and likely feel they need more staff to do the same, and then increase the requirements to build, often times unnecessary. This only increases the costs to build, which then increases the cost of housing. Then the city complains that the housing costs are too much. Here is a novel idea, if the city is complaining about the cost of housing, then realistically fix the issues the city has created to increase these housing costs. I am not saying don't do your job, but I am saying that don't overcharge for doing a job that has already been done in the private sector in order to keep staff on payroll and needing to hire more.

Funds are spent to "help" but the homeless population on the street (and in our parks, buses, trails, etc.) grows! As a resident, I don't feel safe using certain trails and parks if I'm alone. How about considering what the RESIDENTS want in downtown and as far as development. I've lived here over 40 years and I don't recognize downtown anymore. It's just a smaller version of Santa Barbara with most development done with visitors rather than residents involved. Housing in SLO is a joke. All the residents hear is "we need more workforce housing." And yet when I look at the houses currently under development and those for sale in my neighborhood, most are unaffordable to even dual income households! My husband and I both work in SLO at very good jobs and could not afford the $3K mortgage payment a home in our neighborhood would require at this time. And to top it off, the City gives the developers the go-ahead to develop even though they don't have the means to handle traffic!

Packet Pg. 69 Question 3 You don't want to raise taxes, everyone hates that. Tourism has always been vital to our economy...but, how do we make it year long. I brought this up years ago when the county was reworking it's General Plan. We need to look at how we can build a Convention Center. Make it as self- staining as possible, with a commercial kitchen, it's own garden (maybe a vertical garden?), and in a place that would afford future building for hotels, and close enough to the airport. Make the rooms flexible so that the can expand in size, and be available for locals. Smaller food venues would be available as well as outlets for car rentals, county, wine, beer tours, etc. We have a great architectural/engineering school w/Cal Poly, I'm sure there would be some great minds that would love to contribute to a project like that. Make this a destination where everyone would want to hold their meetings. The tax revenue would incredible, not to mention the return visits from folks wanting to bring their families back. It will cost money up front, but will generate money for years and years to come. Name not available October 27, 2018, 10:58 AM Question 1 • I live in the City of San Luis Obispo.

Question 3 Please reconsider the Anholm district overhaul. This has cost valuable dollars. It has pitted neighbors against neighbors due to a group who mostly live elsewhere deciding it is ok to restructure a neighborhood for a plan that has no guarantee of reaching the gov stated goals re bike ridership, health, emission controls. Put the money toward MASSIVE safety campaigns directed at teens/college students who need courses about bike rules and ped safety. This must include night time awareness of invisiability due to dark clothing. There is real concern that the proposed bike paths on Chorro and Broad will increase injury. Thank you for asking. You asked Anholm which bike path option we wanted which included none of the above. We said none and then the city just kept moving forward. Please don’t ask if you don’t want to pay attention to the results.

A silly diversion is all that is. Question 3 Make a plan first to catch up on pension contributions. It is not an annual budget line item but a huge debt the same as any bond issue. Suck it up, stop a lot of activities that amount to niceties, cut staff, reduce pay and benefits and pay the pension bill. Then run the city in a fiscally responsible manner. Pretending that the pension debt can be managed on top of doing everything else is a fallacy promoted and protected by city management, who benefit from delaying action.

Increasing & improving Rental Housing is too important to the city to implement any form of rent controls. Study after study has shown housing stock is reduced & the quality diminishes after rent controls are put in place. Question 3 1) The city has done a great job of increasing outdoor hiking, biking and open spaces. They could install donation boxes for hikers, bikers and users similar to self serve payment bins at state parks. Park staff could pick up funds when they are refilling doggy bags, dumping trash cans or other services. 2) City could reduce staff via attrition in the community 55 | www.opentownhall.com/6825 Created with OpenGov | January 22, 2019, 9:17 AM 2019-21 Community Priorities Survey What are the most important priorities for the City in 2019-21? Packet Pg. 84 services dept and bring staffing back to levels existing before the failed rental inspection program was established. 3) The city could insensitive- ize in fill development of low income housing by removing obstacles and excessive fees. The benefit is in increasing the housing stock for vulnerable populations which reduces the cost of services to that population and reduces homelessness. 4) Use public private partnerships for development of low income rental housing by providing long term land leases or reduced fees up front and share in returns over the long run (30- 40 years typical). 5) Create a low income rent burdened support fund, like the Federal Section 8 program, that is funded from an increased business tax against all rental property owners in the city. 6) Remove the current limitation on how many unrelated people can live together within the city. This would cost nothing to implement and would immediately free up existing rental property within the city. Today, if you have a 3 bedroom rental you can only put 5 unrelated people in it, if you could put 6 (2/bedroom) then that frees up the requirement for that one person to find another living situation and potentially reduces their rent as sharing a room is less than cost of single occupancy. 7) In the resident parking zones around Cal Poly, limit the number but sell a parking permit for city residents not in those zones to park in those zones. This would immediately bring in revenue, re-leave parking constraints on those that live close to but not in those restricted zones. For example - Bond St. - One side is restricted and therefore almost vacant and the other is not and is packed with cars year round. If city resident (owners and renters) across the street and not in the restricted zone had first priority and could buy permits, many would. 8) Reduce parking requirements and increase density in all multi-family zones (R-2, R-3 and R-4), this would increase development and therefore increase fees to the city while reducing the deficit of needed housing stock in the city. 9) Put a few short-term parking meters in the restricted residential zones for visitor parking, for service provider parking (landscapers, plumbers, etc.) and short-term overflow parking. The cost of the meter install would be recuperated quickly and from then on it is a source of funding for the city as parking already has crews to maintain and replace meters. 10) Establish a public private partnership with a "city bike" and/or e-bike service provider within the city core and between large institutions like Cal Poly, Cuesta and the the airport area to share in the revenue and or licensing fees. This potential reduces car traffic and pollution, adds a revenue source and improves parking in critical locations around the city.

Reduce or stop completely the amount of development and people coming into the city to lower expenses caused by more use of public services, as well as road and infrastructure wear and tear; thereby increasing the amount of open space which is far less maintenance than roads, homes, etc. Added bonus of every single city service and event needed less money poured into it. A city of 35-40k needs far fewer resources than a city of 60k. 2. Cut back on the amount of bicycle related infrastructure changes, which provide little to no benefit for most of the population and only increase expenses; if you will be spending that money, more frequent bus transit services should be in place 3.

We need to keep the downtown thriving as retail faces headwinds from online merchants. One of the negatives we hear from customers all the time is the need for more parking downtown. I know that statistics may show otherwise, but this is the perception. People have told me that they are visiting SLO less often because they don't like the hassle of searching for parking. A new parking structure at Nipomo Street would help prepare our downtown for its next phase of a cultural center with a new theatre and art center and a walking promenade. This would also help drive more people to the downtown for those facilities and they will dine and shop while visiting downtown SLO. I know the parking garage may inconvenience a few people in the neighborhood immediately around the parking structure, but it may also alleviate some of the nuisance they experience from people parked illegally around their neighborhood. Please continue to move forward with the plan for this parking structure. It is the top priority to me and to many people I know who work and visit SLO.

Funds can be adjusted by limiting the amounts of bike lanes that are being put in. There are hundreds of people that work at Cuesta, CMC, and several business towards the airport that public transportation/bikes do not make sense to use. BUT these people want to live in the City of SLO but when rent is so high,those of us who want to live, work and own a home in SLO are being pushed out.

I have been in this downtown for the last 45 years and it is in the most trouble that I have ever seen. The most specific problem is traffic congestion and lack of parking due to added demand while removing significant parking. The in lieu program made sense until the cost of providing the parking greatly exceeded the fee's, especially for larger projects.We are on the edge of loosing one of the best downtown's in the US.

The city has spent years on esoteric opinion gathering much of which isn't even realistic for consideration with the layout of our town. 4)Stop looking to spend City funds to build out a theater on the corner of Nipomo and Monterey when all we need is a parking structure.

Question 2 • Current Major City Goal: Multi-Modal Transportation (Prioritize implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian safety, and the Short-Range Transit Plan) • Open Space Preservation • Traffic Reduction • Growth Management • Public Safety Question 3 Don't make pension promises you can't keep. Enable employees to control their own retirement funding through 401ks. Invest in infrastructure, parking, bike trails, etc. before other areas are developed. It is much more expensive to rework than to build new. Force developers to install required parks, roads, parking, and bike ways. Stop granting exceptions and waivers. The requirements exist for a reason.

Why the City allowed the 1st phase to go through without this very important extension is beyond me and many others. I wonder IF the City Council ever even comes down to this side of town and the traffic mess!?!

Housing availability and affordability. Traffic congestion. They should build more dorms and faculty housing. They should also build a long-term parking lot for Freshman and a commuter parking lot and have a shuttle service that runs to both. Require all new building downtown to include housing. Offer more short-term parking spots (30 min or less) on downtown streets to increase visits by locals (and sales tax) who just need to pop into a store to pick up something. Offer more frequent or better coordination of buses (it can take over an hour to travel across town if the bus connections don't coordinate). Apply for grants from state for homeless and transportation.

Question 3 More focus on infrastructure over large housing developments. With the large housing complexes under construction now, we should focus on affordable homes and building neighborhoods so that people can rely more on multi-modal transportation methods and can work, play and shop where they live.

I have read about other communities (one in Oregon) who have addressed this utilizing not-for-profit organizations with individuals trained in psychology and with the ability to work with people with mental illness, and helping transport them to shelters. I think we need to focus on helping the homeless population by getting them to the appropriate shelters or rehab programs, but be more strict on homeless individuals who refuse help and are living on our streets.

Serve the people, not the developers. Stop and think and evaluate what is best for the city's residents first and the commuting workforce second. The tourists and college students aren't going to stop coming. But the city has become less and less welcoming to its own residents; to people who work here but can't afford to live here and are forced to commute from neighboring communities; and to people who would like to relocate to new jobs here.

Packet Pg. 170 home in San Luis Obispo. And how many of San Luis Obispo's "ordinary people" - teachers, law enforcement personnel, small business owners, and probably even many city employees - are forced to commute or even leave the area because housing is too expensive. New houses are about to be sold on Tank Farm - starting in the high $700,000s, a price few can afford. We can't. We are only able to live in San Luis Obispo because we bought our house 45 years ago. Was the Righetti Ranch development approved to benefit residents or future residents of San Luis Obispo or was it just for the developer or for the fees generated or the future additional taxes to be collected? And exactly why is more and more office and commercial space being approved when there are empty office, store and business properties all over town? And really, where is the water for all this going to come from during the next 5-year drought?

However, increasing parking revenues is probably not a sufficient option for all of the development/construction that we'd like to see. The first priority should be to increase density around the downtown core and near Cal Poly to increase walkability and bikability, as well as to raise the tax base, particularly for folks who attend school or work nearby. Height limits should be dramatically relaxed downtown. It seems to me that most of our "tall" buildings downtown are parking garages, which is just the worst use of valuable land imaginable. With a real effort to increase downtown housing, one would hope to see reduced housing costs, which in turn could encourage entrepreneurship and could (in the very long run) increase tax revenue to fund all the other cool stuff in the sustainability plan. However, without reducing housing costs AND dramatically increasing the density of downtown and the immediately proximate neighborhoods, all the green infrastructure in the world will simply serve as an expensive amenity for those who currently live or can afford to move to the low-rise areas north and south of downtown. Offsetting revenue could come from development fees and/or higher sales tax on the outlying business districts (airport/LOVR/etc) to encourage downtown development and growth.

I feel that the city needs to maintain, repair and expand existing infrastructure adequately before taking on brand new development projects. Consider some sort of tax or fee, since we are a tourist area consider raising the bed tax on hotels, a tax on flying in and out, a tax on wine tours, some source of revenue that would be used for the transportation infrastructure that would be funded by people travelling here and not put an undo burden on local residents.

Packet Pg. 178 Question 3 This area is growing, and more people are commuting to work in San Luis Obispo. The earlier we get ahead of the curve, the easier and less costly it will be in the future. The city needs to be able to handle its citizens before addressing the natural problems that follow, because things like homelessness, public safety and water management will change again and again as the city evolves. Growth and housing should be a fairly top priority, instead of intersections with a few cracks in it or improving eye sores around downtown.

It will be extremely hard to provide adequate parking in the future if adequate parking is not incorporated into all new developments.

I think it might be best to begin with crucial projects that are more expensive, then work backwards to determine priorities and allocate "fun money." For example, the City must complete an update of the housing element, which is a hard cost that should budgeted accordingly. Only once these projects have been identified, then we determine if we have enough "fun money" for non- priority projects.

These Special Focus Areas Should Include the Downtown Core and the Upper Monterey Area. Undertake a visual resource study for Downtown. Question 3 Cut back on 1) Organizational Vitality: P&R Administration; 2) Information Technology: Network Services; 3) Recreational Services: Golf Course; 4) Recreational Services: Aquatics; 5) Governance: City Administration; 6) Economic Health: Tourism Improvement District; 7) Economic Health: Development Services; 8) Cultural Services: Community Promotions. The reasons for this are as follows: The City should not depend on hiring public relations consultants to "sell" their programs. Network services have become increasingly costly and significant cost cutting should be considered here. The City should reexamine its commitment to water intensive recreational uses particularly as they relate to addressing climate change. Cost savings can be realized by freezing salaries and reassessing the costs of outsourcing (i.e. over reliance on consultants). The private sector should not have to rely on the City to promote tourism, promote new development or to promote non-city related community events.

Large housing projects along the Prado infill area as well as the irish hills area and the area along the city county border on broad street could utilize existing infrastructure generating the largest net revenue increase to the city. Similarly, allowing taller multi-story, mixed use projects downtown places high value, high revenue producing properties in an area less reliant on large streets and expensive bus services. Stop focusing on subsidized low income housing as it generates relatively low net revenue. By allowing construction to freely proceed existing dated housing stock will become less competitive and de facto more affordable for low income individuals. The main problem with the SLO is limited growth. When a pie is of limited size everyone must fight each other for a larger piece (or really a smaller piece since infighting creates inefficiency) .

Reduce city's efforts to control housing: it is not the responsibility of a local government, or any government, to be a provider of or to subsidize housing. Reduce spending on bicycle-related expenses: Existing city bicycle programs are costly, frequently prove to be an annoyance to motorists, and may in fact have a negative impact on revenue streams for roads/road maintenance due to the reduced number of vehicles.

San Luis exists within the context of a bubble. It systematically and structurally does not allow for marginalize people, people of color, or those who are poor to entire its bubble. Unless you are a tokenized minority, San Luis will either criminalize or make invisible any culture outside of mainstream whiteness. Why would programs such as section 8 exist if San Luis is unwilling to enforce landlords must accept such subsidies? That’s like giving someone money to buy groceries, but only stores in Santa Maria will accept the currency. This is a form of discrimination and a systematic way to weed out “less desirable” POC and poor people. Other cities have made “method of payment” / Section 8 a protected class, just like gender, race, sexual orientation, religion. Why not San Luis? Also, please work to create a better bike path to Cuesta College, or partner to provide all Cuesta students with bus passes, and a bus route that runs more than once per hour. Stop favoring and upholding wealth & privilege! We can still have a wonderful thriving community when we include others outside the existing bubble. There is a whole other Slo that deserves visibility. *** Please address the myth of lacking diversity within SLO vs. the reality of marginalization or invisibility of all cultures outside of “organic, bike riding, small business owners” Not all of us can afford that lifestyle. We still live and work in this community. MORE REPRESENTATION! MORE INCLUSIVITY! HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A CRIME!

I know it makes the City more attractive to have new playgrounds and parks and whatnot, but that's not essential to living and being safe in SLO.

Make the ability to own realistic for the people who work and play in the city. It appears that housing was meant for the upper class, which does not open the market for the people who live here. It opens up the market to the upper class to profit off of the college students and the hard working people only to then take away the ability for locals to invest in their city/county.

Specifically, the walkway of Tank Farm Road & Poinsettia to the upmost priority. Also Madonna and LOVR is quite a confusing stretch of street to bicyclists and motorists alike. I believe traffic management is of a higher needs obligation as it is crucial in maintaining safety to all SLO residents. Thus SLO fashions to be a bikable city, yet there are many dangerous roadways for bicyclists and motorists to share the road. With better traffic management the city can then build upon welcoming more businesses and homes. Furthermore, satisfy its current residents with dependable roadways and keep up in the growth of SLO. To accomplish this, please put on hold any major developments of building etc. I understand the revenue objective, however, a revamp of the infrastructure will more than likely enhance potential business/home developers to set up shop if the town was more accessible and safe.

Mind Body added .. how many bodies and cars? the Buckley Road project will add how many homes etc? and the " other corner " of 227 and Tank Farm soon to be developed as well. I believe the city needs to redistribute the development " wealth" elsewhere. We are impacted here. Our roads, intersections, shopping, parks, etc. all need some additional funding and TLC. French park is used by neighbors from near and far as well as mid day workers from Mind body etc. and dogs from all over the city because we have no true dog parks nearby. There are un used areas within the park that need redesigning for usage. The traffic on Poinsettia is far greater and faster than it should be because of this. The park could used some lighting. Of course, you know about the traffic and safety issues on 227...but there seems to be little any of you can do about it.. as its been a concern for years now. This area is older without the charm of downtown. We do not need the city 's actions decreasing the values of our homes here, as it looks to assist newcomers. Im a huge supporter of sustainability, housing affordability, etc . but turning your proverbial back on the aging population and neighborhoods, is just as detrimental to the heart and soul of the city. Many, many neighbors here are well into their 80s. They have no where else to go. There is nothing affordable here in assisted living. so they stay in these houses until they die. and drive .... which is not safe.. especially on these roads as they are so heavily impacted now. and please, if you approve a development on the NW corner of 227 and tank farm... please be sure that whomever designs and approves it has some actual idea of traffic flow and parking flow and needs. The Marigold Center is a nightmare in all ways. as is the other corner withe the gas station, office building, and Mind Body squeezed into a space that was not large enough for one entity. How are these approved? I travel to other cities in California...and guess what.. their parking lots are actually large enough and designed well enough for flow within and without . so i know the knowledge and design technology exists. In the old days i would ask where all these kids were going to go to school??? but i'm well passed that inquiry. Los Ranchos seems impacted to me, according to my sources. oh and this neighborhood, has the absolute slowest, most interrupted internet service... its horrendous. if the new developments get new internet and new shiny everything, and those neighborhoods are surrounding these older, neglected ones, the city is actively causing depreciation of our housing values. Something, none of us can afford. thank you Name not shown inside Neighborhood 2 December 12, 2018, 3:56 PM Question 1 • I live in the City of San Luis Obispo. • I work in the City of San Luis Obispo. • I play (recreate, shop, eat, etc.) in the City of San Luis Obispo.

Question 2 • Open Space Preservation • Growth Management • Economic Development • Other - Transportation: Develop and implement an efficient, energy wise, bus and shuttle service with better schedule. Market convenience and positive effect on climate change. This will increase ridership, reach a desired goal and increase revenue. • Other - Climate Change: Reduce air pollution by supporting commerce in local neighborhoods: Madonna, Broad St., Foothill, Monterey Height, etc. Too much focus on Downtown and tourism. This could inspire more people to shop local more often; more tax dollars. Question 3 1. Transportation: Create a more accessible and timely transportation system and they will come. Educate yourselves and the public on the positive effects of taking local public transit. It will reduce the time and stress of finding parking, meters and tickets. 2. Save funds by reducing agency fees to promote SLO. Keep it local. The agencies you're working with appear to be way out of a small town budget. 3. I regret to say that marketing and funding seems to always focus on downtown. The rest of the city feels left out. 4. I'd like to see a City agency that would keep the public aware of building permits, remodels and expansions. Rather then feeling like SLO is being taken over we'd feel included. ** I was unable to find a real breakdown of the budget. I'm sure funds could be moved around, fees could be increased. A Special City Event/Activity annually or more often could bring in additional funds and build community. Who gets money from the Christmas parade?

But, most importantly, projects like closing car access to downtowns will help with the right sizing of car infrastructure needed in the age of autonomous vehicles which is rapidly coming to existence. We need to create a narrative for the public that makes this palatable. Name not available December 16, 2018, 10:12 AM Question 1 • I live in the City of San Luis Obispo.

There are many options available that are providing some level of redistribution, and many people that I have spoken with are happier to support these burdens and costs relating to development, rather than just increasing profitibilty for developers and investors. Many improvements toward a more equitible and just city can be made at little or no expense through ordinance. Environmental concerns within city limits are also top of mind, from runoff to air quality to lack of trees (currently net negative). Common sense simple pedestrian improvements are needed and provide high benefit for minimal cost.

High winds should close trail use. The City is over staffed. District voting for Council needs to be undertaken. Consider becoming City of general jurisdiction which would put SLO in conformity with the County and all other Cities in the County and relieve the City Council of duties they detest.

Currently the more rental properties an owner has, the more services he receives - and the less he pays, per property, for those services. Prioritize expenditures: Concentrate on the basic services for which the City is responsible (e.g. streets/sidewalks, water/sewer, public safety, etc.); list critical needs first, then less critical, etc. Do not take on new projects if old projects are unfinished. Since there have been no accidents in at least the last five years, shelve the Anholm Bikeway plans and use simpler, less costly ways to address safety in that area - stop signs and crosswalks where needed. Do not allocate funds for projects/programs that are county responsibilities. Do not budget for recreational needs beyond the city's residential population.

Marking crosswalks on Broad Street (near Stoneridge area), South Street (at King, Woodbridge and/or Beebee), South Higuera (at Elks Lane), Los Osos Valley Road (at Los Verdes Drive) and Orcutt Road (at Sacramento extension) come at very little cost, but provide access to schools and public transportation stops for the first/last mile of commutes. We have one of the most dangerous cities for walking/biking in California; we can chip away at it with very little impact to other services. If we want modal shift to happen, we need to provide safe access for all modes--not just bicycles. Public education re: multimodal safety can also be done at very little cost or through public/private/volunteer partnerships. It is worth looking into if we really want to encourage modal shift. We are also severely lacking in accessibility on sidewalks, particularly around schools and bus stops in lower income neighborhoods (Sinsheimer, CL Smith), with many residential collectors lacking ramped curbing at corners. There was a previous program for these improvements that should be picked up again. Small changes can make a big impact, especially for these neighborhoods, which benefit far more from improvements than more affluent areas.

Negotiate a much higher contribution from Cal Poly for 2-year transit agreement, as the current amount is $375,000 which is only $18.00 per student; aim for $1.5 million in order to fund more frequent transit service to Cal Poly campus. Remove "first-hour free" parking in parking structures. Consider perhaps $1.00 for "first-hour" parking in parking structures to generate additional revenues.

My husband is an SLO 5th generation native. Question 2 • Neighborhood Wellness • Open Space Preservation • Addressing Homelessness • Growth Management • Public Safety Question 3 I don't agree with the current mayor's "solutions" for "affordable housing." I agree, however, that housing needs to be accessible especially for young families and especially for first time buyers. New proposed housing often comes with HOAs and possible Mella Roos, making it ever more difficult to purchase a home. I want my grandchildren who are 7th SLO generation citizens to be able to afford to live here. What is being built and what is proposed is NOT affordable for young families and first time buyers. The mayor throws around the term "affordable housing." What does that mean? Protected bike lanes, while wanted by a vocal group of citizens, is extremely expensive. In my opinion, that should not be a priority of the current city council and the mayor. Homelessness is an ever increasing problem, not only in San Luis Obispo, but nationwide. There are as many reasons for homelessness as there are homeless people. I often had homeless children in my class in SLO. Safety is the biggest issue with homeless people. My daughter was at Mission Plaza with her two young sons. The fountain was empty. The 2 1/2 year old climbed in to get a closer look at the bear. The city worker told my daughter that people bath in that fountain, best not to go in it or even put hands in the water when it's filled. My son-in-law had a smash and grab from his car parked in the Dalidio post office at 9:30 in the morning. Homeless people hang out in the park across the street. Some of his belongings were found in Visalia when the PD there went to make a drug arrest. The "straws by request program" to help wildlife and the environment, is a good one. The mayor and several city council members voted to allow night biking/hiking in a natural preserve, which potentially hurts wildlife and the environment. In my opinion, this is contradictory.

Question 2 No response Question 3 I believe this survey is futile, as we've seen in recent years. But I echo many who have lived here thru entire careers & family raising- kept SLO a beautiful & wonderful city, til now. Not sure where this belongs, but a need exists to focus on something other than college age and tourists. SLO wasn't always a bar and boutique town- it actually focused on middle age and elderly too.... think about it, all the ones ruining what was great will also become elderly - there is a population here that, at advance ages has contributed much to SLO over their many years here- no one brought in outside big money & that kept SLO sane. Sadly, the ones in charge today have thumbed the likes of marvelous city leaders as Ken Schwartz & the many with his good sense. Lived here 51 years & very disappointed in recent & rampage "big money" changes.

Question 3 Downtown is now a beautiful replica of urban "anywhere city". It's a shame the charm has been removed/replaced by bars and chain stores. It used to be fun strolling downtown. Not so much now. My perception- greed and fees to full city coffers. Too bad. Stop funding discretionary projects, until you get the city's fiscal health back in the black! Stop giving away our land and dollars through developer incentives that cost local taxpayers real money but receive slight benefit. New development should pay for water sewer needs as well as roads. Deal with salaries, benefits and pension liability. They're an albatross around the city's neck and limit your options.

There are many new housing developments going in very close to the airport in addition to mature neighborhoods existing within the noise contours. The airport has added many flights and has larger jets flying in and out of the airport early and later in the day. There are also Federal funds available to help offset costs for such noise abatement projects. Thanks!

Question 2 No response Question 3 * Priorities sheet unmarked and instead sent with letter: Affordable housing stimulated by a "Vacancy Tax" I think the city should look into a vacancy tax. Any residential housing units within the city limits that stand vacant for a period of time more than 6 months shall be subject to a tax in an amount that would encourage them to occupy or rent the unit out. I know of several units that are within a few blocks of my old town residence that have sat empty for years. These structures hurt my neighborhood's quality and attract undesirable nuisance. Many need repair. If the repairs are too great, these structures should be torn down and removed. Blight. Many cities in the USA demand removal of dilapidated structures. Also many houses are zoned multi-residential and have "granny" units which sit vacant. A tax of say $200 month would open these units up. There are a lot of potential units in the city, as much as 5 to 10% or even more. More units on the market is an increase in supply and thus should result in lower cost. This would probably need to be a proposition and put to vote, but it would have a long-term positive effect on the city should it pass. This vacancy tax could be expanded to retail/commercial structures, or even restricted to just commercial areas. As brick and mortar stores fall prey to online sales commercial vacancy rates are going to increase even more than they are now. Any through inspection of our commercial centers will show at present a huge number of empty space. Allowing economical conversion to housing is an excellent way to increase affordable housing with out city. The increase potential of housing units is even greater within commercial space areas than that of the residential areas. Any prudent investor would convert rather than pay a vacancy tax on top of not getting any rent. Potentially adding 25% + to the housing stock without taxing resources, (no new footprints). Reuse, recycle, and rethink about what we have.

I am more than disappointed at seeing improvements that will only have to be improved upon more in the near future. Take, for example, the Laurel Street corridor. If the city is really taking citizen (including pedestrians and cyclists) safety seriously, the current improvement has failed. Listen to people who have knowledge on the subjects and look to towns that have made serious improvements. "Rushing" to get something done, only to be done poorly is a waste of community resources.

At the same time, a ban ought to be placed on planting any more of the most allergenic trees in SLO. Why? Some trees and bushes used in landscapes cause allergies or asthma. At the same time there are certain trees (certainly any that are all-female) that never produce any pollen, ever. These same female trees also trap and remove pollen from the air. If you Google “OPALS Plant- allergy scale” you find that there is a long-recognized numerical plant- allergy scale that the City can use for guidance.

This will increase tax base and help city to meet sustainability goals by reducing commute. Services that help both locals and tourists to travel sustainably (e-bike share with drop off and pickup at main points such as train station, Cal Poly, downtown, etc.). Note: NOT scooters - these are dangerous because many people ride them on the sidewalk and pedestrian areas instead of in bike lanes. In addition, there are no set pickup/drop off areas, so they become a public nuisance and are left all over the place. These have had a severely negative impact on pedestrian areas in other cities.

This will incentivize them to get jobs and permanent places of residence. Once they have achieved the goals set out in the new homeless taxation plan, they shall no longer be subject to taxation.

I would recommend engaging volunteers and Chamber of Commerce members to assist with education and outreach, while the city adjusts current projects. For instance, trained volunteers could assist in addressing our homeless population. Are there ways we can share locations of resources and warming stations, etc? As a new resident of SLO, I was shocked at the number of homeless, especially in Laguna Lake Park (an area that does not appear to be patrolled frequently by police). Community volunteers could have a major impact in helping our homeless population and improving public safety. (I'd like to help, but I haven't come across any information from the city on how to help.) There should be more we can do that does not cost money! **Also, improving our Bike rating to "Platinum" would have a dynamic impact on tourism and people commuting in the city. Some of the action items to accomplish this are free. My family and I moved to SLO because it is a bike friendly city... we'd love to see this continue to be a city-wide priority!

But the amount of money that was spent on the development of all the rules and requirements was insane. We need one more bicycle or foot police person to nab all the texting drivers. I see one every day. The money collected in fines would more than pay for the salary, and the overflow could be added to the coffers. In fact, make the fine $500.

Reduce City funds to Downtown and send to neighborhoods. Look harder for grants. Infrastructure should include traffic lights and traffic calming---part of pedestrian safety, one of the current Big 5.

In order for this to be successful the city should consider higher density, multi-use zoning near campus to encourage off-campus students to live closer to the campus core, decreasing their traffic footprint and opening up residential areas in other parts of the city. Furthermore the city should continue to improve its public transit services as a well maintained and used transit system will do more to reduce traffic and pollution than can realistically be accomplished by bikes. Climate action is important but many of the city's goals are unrealistic - the vision for the role of bicycles is overly optimistic in a geographic area which is frankly too hilly to support mass use like is envisioned for the city. Carbon emission is less important than other forms of pollutants as the city is generally non-industrial. Soil erosion, light/noise pollution, street runoff, recycling support are all more tangible ways to improve the cities ecological responsibility while not off putting citizens. The police need a renovated police station, putting off the costs today only increases them in the future and serves as a detriment to law enforcement effectiveness. Investing in 21st century technology to reduce crime is paramount - particularly the city should employ license plate cameras on highways in and out of the city to detect wanted persons coming in and out of the city, catching or at least deterring traffickers traveling between southern and northern CA should be something which will improve the city's crime rate and assist a greater reduction in crime. Programs with fraternities should continue to reduce noise violations which is a minor but still important objective. 380 | www.opentownhall.com/6825 Created with OpenGov | January 22, 2019, 9:17 AM 2019-21 Community Priorities Survey What are the most important priorities for the City in 2019-21? Packet Pg. 409 Increasing sales tax would be the best way to off set the costs the city has in obligations to its staff and the obligation it has to proactively be engaged in community development. Sales tax utilizes tourists as a tax base for the city which offsets costs to residents. Excise taxes and more expensive alcohol licenses should be a way to raise revenue and create an environment more family friendly and cost affordable for students to come to the downtown. Stricter regulations need to be placed upon landlords who are able to put off improvements because of the high demand for housing of any condition in the city, affordable housing should continue to be a priority and creating requirements for developers to improve, make more beautiful, the immediate environment which they enter is the best way to defuse NIMBY'ers. Homelessness is a major concern for residents as regardless of the numbers their presence in the downtown makes citizens feel uncomfortable and leaves a negative impression upon people visiting the city. Solutions are hard to come by, engaging with County mental health services and deterring their presence in the downtown which will reduce the desire to inhabit SLO. The developments downtown should continue but parking structures do need to be made available for tourists to discourage street parking. Further developments should focus on widening the downtown rather than raising it above 5 stories. Mixed use building philosophy should be used as the downtown moves across Santa Rosa St. Thank you to all the city staff who are often unappreciated by residents for the hard work and civil service they do.

Tax Cal Poly for having to take care of all the immature students. Quit approving massive housing projects that don't improve traffic congestion. It may be too late, since we're already looking and acting like our southern Cal. towns and cities. The city planners of yesteryear have planned and created the issues we have today...what are our planners conjuring up now?

I also think that while, we as citizens, should have a say in our priorities, we should allow our elected officials and staff to implement and determine the how we get to the outcome/goal -- that why we vote and that's why professional staff are hired. At times, there seems to be too much allowed -- or maybe it's timing -- in terms of community members trying to dictate and change the outcomes that have been guided by the goals.

I will try to refrain. Increased revenue - Become a self-help county. While not directly a city initiative, the city could show a hypothetical budget if it passed and create a numbers graphic illustrating a cost per person or cost per household or whatever 390 | www.opentownhall.com/6825 Created with OpenGov | January 22, 2019, 9:17 AM 2019-21 Community Priorities Survey What are the most important priorities for the City in 2019-21? Packet Pg. 419 makes sense. Then people might better be able to determine if they think it is worth it. - I like the idea of leveraging the tourism in downtown. I am not sure how this is best done (bed tax, sales tax, parking, etc) but it should be considered. However, if these will just drive the tourists to stay in other beach cities or out of the county all together they should be considered carefully. - I am not sure how the Cal Poly/Cuesta students could be contributing. Seems appropriate that they "pay their fair share" but as a population, they infuse the city with gobs of money. - Prop 13 definitely slows down the funding but that is a state issue with lots of history and not a city level item. - Maybe the downtown association could charge a building vacancy tax so leaving a building vacant and waiting for a big tenant is not so appealing. I don't think those buildings were built on the expectation of getting $10- 30k/month per store. That may not affect the city's budget. - whatever happened to redline cameras? Maybe we can capitalize on our new commuter traffic problem. I understand there is a legal issue. Can we not just make it a none moving violation like a parking ticket? Cost reduction - change the road paving schedule. I am not sure what rotation they are on now. Say 20 years. Change it to 25 years. Or require the company that paves the street to pay for all road repairs for 30 years. Maybe they will stop cutting corners. Works in Germany. I am sure there is some reason this doesn't work in the US. - Trim the fat. All but the most efficient organizations have people they could lose. I understand the unions protect all employees but I expect the city has people that are being allowed to continue because of the administrative burden of firing someone with union protection. All breakups hurt. Get it done. - Reviewing the budget, the largest chunk goes to staffing and "other operating expenditures" (not sure what that is). Do we set recruiting staff pay based on "like counties" or "what it costs to live here" or "what it takes to get a good person" or something else? It is long acknowledged that the private sector employees pay "the paradise tax" to live in SLO - meaning the pay is bad and the cost of living is high. With so few openings at the city and what appears to be low turn-over, I would suggest people are paid too much, but city staff can review the data. Sorry city staff. I do love your work :) - What is "fiscal health and governance"? 20% out of the general fund seems like a lot. Corporate equivalent sounds like SG&A (sales and general administration) and we aim for <10%. - I know we all need police and fire but is it really this expensive. How did my hometown (I know only 15,000 people) get by with volunteers? If the firefighters are mostly paramedics why not give them a prius to drive around in? 2 goes go on the prius call and 2 guys stay at the firehouse in- case there is an actual fire they can meet at the fire. - What portion of the police are spent handling downtown events? Are the downtown business/real estate owners paying their fair portion? Everyone's tax dollars pay for things they don't want and others do want. Let's share kindly.

Adobes. The City took on 4 adobes in the past and in the last 20 yrs. has only done minimal maintenance; no restoration.

Consistent with input that the Chamber has provided in recent years, these key business community priorities were determined after extensive work, discussion and evaluation by multiple Chamber committees and our Board, involving more than 80 member 391 | www.opentownhall.com/6825 Created with OpenGov | January 22, 2019, 9:17 AM 2019-21 Community Priorities Survey What are the most important priorities for the City in 2019-21? Packet Pg. 420 volunteers. Informed by the Chamber’s Economic Vision, Imagine San Luis Obispo, our top priorities focus on investments that unlock our ability to build a more complete, safe and fiscally sustainable city that houses more of its workforce. With the impending Diablo Canyon Closure, it is more important than ever to actively create the future we seek; our collective success depends on furthering sustainable solutions that support healthy economic growth and ensure community resiliency. Our recommendations for the City’s investment of time, money and resources during the 2019-21 budget cycle include: FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY • Continue the fiscal responsibility philosophy with a focus on economic development and responsiveness, unfunded liabilities, and infrastructure financing • Responsibly pay down the City’s unfunded liabilities and address escalating costs • Explore opportunities to partner with other municipalities for shared delivery of governmental services to efficiently address challenges such as housing, infrastructure, transportation, water, energy and disaster preparedness CLIMATE ACTION Update the City’s Climate Action Plan with a focus on: • Decrease commuting impacts by investing in infrastructure necessary to build new housing and expand access to alternative transportation • Address CO2 reductions through incentivizing energy efficiency upgrades and on-site energy production for existing structures HOUSING • Invest in infrastructure that will unlock opportunities to build more homes such as Prado Road overpass and Tank Farm Road improvements • Establish and measure success in achieving long-term housing goals • Facilitate increased production of all housing types by approving vertical mixed use, prioritizing higher density housing, infill development, and increased building heights where appropriate to minimize sprawl • Proactively support Cal Poly’s Master Plan to build more on-campus housing MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION • Invest in critical transportation infrastructure that facilitates safe multimodal movement in support of expanded housing choice and business development • Complete major transit infrastructure such as Prado Road overpass and widening of Tank Farm Road to decrease commute time and traffic • Greater focus on expanding transit capacity and routes • Leverage existing and new funds to build new infrastructure • Support policies that improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers These Major City Goals are naturally intertwined, and we urge you to prioritize work programs that address the areas of overlap to make the most efficient and economical progress. Thank you for your consideration of these suggested Major City Goals and for inviting input from the business community. The SLO Chamber’s recommendations reflect our continued focus on making longterm investments and informed fiscal decisions that are intended to support a balanced and prosperous community for generations to come. We look forward to participating in the Community Forum on January 23rd and believe these priorities will ensure a sustainable and prosperous economic future for those who live and work here.

Cost of housing and commercial space is definitely a challenge right now that I don't like seeing.

This would mean more homes would be available to people who actually live, or wish to live, here rather than those who simply want to make money on our high home prices, thus raising supply and lower demand. 399 | www.opentownhall.com/6825 Created with OpenGov | January 22, 2019, 9:17 AM 2019-21 Community Priorities Survey What are the most important priorities for the City in 2019-21? Packet Pg. 428 If the city were to pass a law stating 50% (or any defined percentage) of new homes in any development must be sold to people who already live in city/county, there would be less competition from those who wish to retire/own a vacation home here and therefore drive the price beyond the reach of most current residents. Instead, people who already live here but are unable to afford a home because they must compete with upper class people from all over the country would have an opportunity to afford to purchase a home. Even if many could still not purchase a home, the rental homes vacated by those who could would be available to others. Both of these options, individually or together, have the potential to greatly reduce the housing crisis this city faces. Neither would cost the city more than the few moments of time to review the proof they have been followed, and in the case of the first, the fines that could be levied if the buyer moved early could generate income to cover all of the time and the new priorities. Moreover, unlike everything else the city has done about the housing crisis in the last two years, it would be affective making more money and time available for other projects.

Change focus of policing to managing and reducing the homeless population rather than accommodating their every request. This will improve the city's neighborhoods and the overall economic situation by making SLO a more attractive and safer environment for those who actually live and pay taxes there. It also might help fill the many vacant storefronts downtown if the streets are cleaner and more welcoming.

Consistent with input that the Chamber has provided in recent years, these key business community priorities were determined after extensive work, discussion and evaluation by multiple Chamber committees and our Board, involving more than 80 member volunteers. Informed by the Chamber’s Economic Vision, Imagine San Luis Obispo, our top priorities focus on investments that unlock our ability to build a more complete, safe and fiscally sustainable city that houses more of its workforce. With the impending Diablo Canyon Closure, it is more important than ever to actively create the future we seek; our collective success depends on furthering sustainable solutions that support healthy economic growth and ensure community resiliency. Our recommendations for the City’s investment of time, money and resources during the 2019-21 budget cycle include: FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY • Continue the fiscal responsibility philosophy with a focus on economic development and responsiveness, unfunded liabilities, and infrastructure financing • Responsibly pay down the City’s unfunded liabilities and address escalating costs • Explore opportunities to partner with other municipalities for shared delivery of governmental services to efficiently address challenges such as housing, infrastructure, transportation, water, energy and disaster preparedness CLIMATE ACTION Update the City’s Climate Action Plan with a focus on: • Decrease commuting impacts by investing in infrastructure necessary to build new housing and expand access to alternative transportation Packet Pg. 449 • Address CO2 reductions through incentivizing energy efficiency upgrades and on-site energy production for existing structures HOUSING • Invest in infrastructure that will unlock opportunities to build more homes such as Prado Road overpass and Tank Farm Road improvements • Establish and measure success in achieving long-term housing goals • Facilitate increased production of all housing types by approving vertical mixed use, prioritizing higher density housing, infill development, and increased building heights where appropriate to minimize sprawl • Proactively support Cal Poly’s Master Plan to build more on-campus housing MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION • Invest in critical transportation infrastructure that facilitates safe multimodal movement in support of expanded housing choice and business development • Complete major transit infrastructure such as Prado Road overpass and widening of Tank Farm Road to decrease commute time and traffic • Greater focus on expanding transit capacity and routes • Leverage existing and new funds to build new infrastructure • Support policies that improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers These Major City Goals are naturally intertwined, and we urge you to prioritize work programs that address the areas of overlap to make the most efficient and economical progress. Thank you for your consideration of these suggested Major City Goals and for inviting input from the business community. The SLO Chamber’s recommendations reflect our continued focus on making long- term investments and informed fiscal decisions that are intended to support a balanced and prosperous community for generations to come. We look forward to participating in the Community Forum on January 23rd and believe these priorities will ensure a sustainable and prosperous economic future for those who live and work here.

Thank you for including Downtown Vitality as another important goal in your prior two-year budget plan. We encourage you to keep Downtown Vitality as a priority and to elevate it to a Major City Goal. Vitality itself cannot be easily measured, but rather is something to continually strive for, and we as an organization are pleased to work in partnership with the City toward goals that make Downtown a vibrant, varied, and welcoming place to do business, work, live, and play. Today, Downtown SLO is an economic, cultural, and social center of a dynamic region. Downtown supports plentiful retail and dining establishments and an array of cultural and entertainment options. With new hotel options projected to open within the next year, it is imperative to make Downtown a safe, attractive and welcoming environment, while supporting local access and use of the public and private spaces therein. We advocate for fiscal responsibility through enhancing public/private partnerships such as the continuation of the Contract for Services with Downtown SLO to provide services and facilitate events. Thanks in large part to the City’s investment last budget cycle in Downtown SLO’s efforts to develop a plan for a new property improvement district, we are poised to move forward with the vote to establish a Property Based Improvement District, which will provide clean and safe programs, enhancing public safety. We invite the City to support and advocate for these efforts. We advocate for multimodal transportation in order to improve access to Downtown. As transportation needs shift on a macro level, the City of SLO must ensure that infrastructure exists to provide proper access to our urban center. We support increased marketing and promotion efforts for public transportation to increase ridership. We support expanded bicycle paths and appropriate bicycle parking/storage downtown. Working with the City, we would like to launch a Park and Walk education campaign to encourage drivers to park in the structures and stroll to their destinations. We strongly advocate for the construction to begin on the Palm/Nipomo street parking structure. We advocate for housing in the Downtown core, and encourage the adoption of policies that create multi-use developments and redevelopments in the downtown core. We recognize that affordable housing is a pressing issue for our community to remain vital, especially for those who have retail and service jobs in the Downtown core.

We were pleased to participate in the creation of the Downtown Concept Plan and Mission Plaza Concept Plan. The Downtown Concept Plan is on display in the street-front window of our office on Chorro Street, and every day we see citizens interact with the plan, pointing out their favorite components. Working in concert with private business and government, many of these dreams can become a reality in the next two years, including the establishment of a cultural district and the renovation of the restrooms/Adobe in Mission Plaza. As always, we appreciate the time and thoughtful care you put into all of your decisions, and I personally thank you for your service to our community.

Receive and discuss the following background information in preparation for the 2019-21 goal-setting and Financial Plan process: a. Status of 2017-19 Major City Goals and Other Important Objectives b. Fiscal Health Response Plan c. General Plan Update d. Strategic Scan; and 2. Confirm the date for the Goal Setting workshop on Thursday, February 7, 2019 at 5:00 pm. REPORT IN BRIEF The City of San Luis Obispo utilizes a two-year financial planning process to create its budgets. This process includes extensive public outreach to assist the City Council in establishing Major City Goals. The benefits of this process are two-fold, it ensures that resources are provided in the budget to accomplish the community’s highest priority, most important objectives, and it is a method to help create a mutual understanding among residents, decision makers, and City staff about what can be achieved by working together. To provide the setting for the goal setting process, this report includes an update our current Major City Goals and Other Important Objectives, the status of the Fiscal Health Response Plan adopted by Council April 17th, 2018, an update on the General Plan, and an overview of strategic indicators. Significant progress has been achieved regarding all Major City Goals. The Housing Major City Goal is 73% complete, Multi-Modal Transportation is 70% complete, Climate Action is 70% complete, Fiscal Sustainability & Responsibility is now 65% complete, and the Downtown Vitality Other Important Objective is 75% complete. This first year of the Fiscal Health Response Plan (FHRP) has been implemented. A total of $1.1 million in operating reductions and $0.4 million in revenue through doing business differently have been realized. Employee concessions targeted at approximately $1.7 million over the three years of the plan are also in process. Packet Pg. 456 This report also highlights the progress made on the General Plan. Of the 409 individual implementation planning programs in the General Plan, 93% or 379 programs are completed or have been integrated into the City’s ongoing operations. This is a seven percent increase since the last update provided as part of the 2017-19 Financial Plan. Given the ambitious nature of the General Plan and its twenty-year time horizon, staff believes that this represents significant progress toward achieving the goals within the plan. Lastly, the report includes a scan of strategic indicator. The scan was developed by two Cal Poly interns in City Administration Department and provides an in-depth overview on important statistical information pertaining to key social, economic, and environmental influences. DISCUSSION The fundamental purpose of the City’s budget process is to allocate financial resources to support City services and capital projects to accomplish adopted goals over a two-year period. This process is informed by the City’s current service levels and adopted long-term plans and policies and assists the development of the two-year Financial Plan. As an integral part of the Financial Plan development and its goal setting process, the Council will hold a Community Forum on January 23, 2019, followed by the Council Goal-Setting workshop on February 7, 2019, to engage the public in defining the desired work efforts and to provide input as to the priorities for the community. The community can further contribute through an online survey posted on the City’s website at www.slocity.org/opencityhall. In order to provide background information and context for consideration during the goal setting process, Council and the public will receive a series of reports which include updates on the status of adopted plans, Major City Goals, capital projects as well as the region’s economic outlook and the City’s financial policies. The December 4th City Council meeting will concentrate on the City’s budget policies, the Capital Improvement Plan, and will provide an economic outlook highlighting the trends for the upcoming five-year period. This report lays the foundation for that discussion by providing a status update on the current Major City Goals and Other Important Objective, an update to the adopted FHRP, and a status report on General Plan implementation programs. The General and Enterprise Funds’ five-year fiscal forecast will be presented to the Council on February 5, 2019 alongside the 2018-19 Mid-Year Report and will be based on audited 2017-18 financial results. This will be the final piece in the series of reports as the five-year forecast is an essential part in the development of a reliable and accurate long-term outlook and sustainable financial plan to be presented to the Council on June 4, 2019. Status of 2017-19 Major City Goals and Other Important Objective Housing: This goal aims to facilitate increased production of all housing types designed to be economically accessible to the area workforce and low and very low-income residents, through increased density and proximity to transportation corridors in alignment with the City’s Climate Action Plan. This goal is 73% complete. Packet Pg. 457 Multi-Modal Transportation: This goal prioritizes the implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian safety, and the Short-Range Transit Plan. This goal is 70% complete. Climate Action: This goal focuses work efforts to update the City’s Climate Action Plan, assesses requirements to achieve a “net-zero carbon City” target, and implements cost-effective measures, including implementation of a Sustainability Coordinator and the formation of a Green Team. This goal is 70% complete. Fiscal Sustainability and Responsibility: This goal implements the City’s Fiscal Responsibility Philosophy with a focus on economic development and responsiveness, reduction of unfunded liabilities, and infrastructure financing. This goal is 65% complete. Other Important Objective: Downtown Vitality: This goal focuses work efforts to continue to improve safety, infrastructure investment, and maintenance in the Downtown and support Downtown Association’s proposal to consider a Downtown improvement district. This objective is 75% complete. Attachment A - Status of the City’s Major City Goals and Other Important Objectives for 2017- 19 - further details progress on all efforts and work programs related to the individual goals as of October 1, 2018. Packet Pg. 458 Fiscal Health Response Plan Status With the development of the 2017-19 Financial Plan, Council adopted the Fiscal Sustainability and Responsibility Major City Goal with a work program to address long-term fiscal health. At its December 12, 2017 meeting, Council received a report titled “Budget Foundation: Fiscal Health Response Plan” which articulated the need to reduce ongoing expenditures by $8.9 million in all funds by 2020-21 ($7.5 million in General Fund and $1.4 million from the Enterprise funds). The reduction is necessary to address the long-term financial impacts1 related to pension costs due to significant policy changes made by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) affecting the unfunded liabilities of all PERS member organizations. On April 17, 2018, the Council adopted the City’s FHRP (Attachment B) to establish a roadmap to long-term fiscal health and sustainability that will be accomplished over a period of three years from 2018- 19 through 2020-21. With the adoption of the General Fund portion of the 2018-19 Supplemental Budget, City staff identified a total of $1.1 million in operating reductions and $0.4 million in revenue through doing business differently. Those actions reduce the General Fund obligation for years two and three of the Plan to $6 million as outlined in the table below. Considering revenue estimates from a cannabis tax amounting to $3 million, doing business differently, and negotiated employee concessions targeted at $1.7 million over the three years of the plan, $1,356,000 is still needed from operating expenditure savings. Of that amount, $902,000 was identified by departments as future year reductions, leaving $454,000 still to be identified as part of the 2019-21 Financial Plan development effort. Those reductions, along with the previously identified $902,000, will be presented to Council as part of strategic budget direction on April 16, 2019. 1 Assuming all actuarial assumptions remain relatively constant.

All four funds have also developed a three-year approach which will be presented with their respective 2019-21 Financial Plan presentations. Status of General Plan Implementation Programs Why Report on the Status of General Plan Programs? The City’s General Plan is composed of a “building block” hierarchy of goals, objectives, policies and programs. Goals and objectives are direction-setters that describe desirable conditions and preferred outcomes as they are applied to specific situations. Policies are typically more specific statements that guide decision-making while the defined programs are actions that implement goals, objectives and policies. As such, monitoring the City’s progress in implementing General Plan programs is an excellent way of monitoring its progress in achieving General Plan goals and objectives which is the focus of the plan document. Attachment C provides a summary of the status of all General Plan Implementation programs by element as well as key “area” plans including: The Downtown Concept plan, Mid-Higuera, and the Railroad Historic District. Another part of the report addresses action items and work efforts related to the Airport and Margarita Areas, and the Orcutt Area Specific Plan. New in this year’s update is the integration of the City’s Climate Action Plan and its related efforts. As discussed in greater detail in the report, of the 409 individual implementation planning programs in the General Plan, 93% or 379 programs are completed or have been integrated into the City’s ongoing operations. This is a four percent increase since the last update provided as Packet Pg. 460 Status of General Plan Implementation  Programs Complete or Ongoing  93% High Difficulty 1% Medium Difficulty 4% Low Difficulty 2% part of the 2017-19 Financial Plan. Given the ambitious nature of the General Plan and its twenty-year time horizon, staff believes that this represents significant progress toward achieving the goals within the plan. Programs not yet completed (7% of the total) are classified in the following categories: 1. 2% or 8 projects as relatively easy to achieve from a resource perspective 2. 4% or 16 projects as moderately difficult to achieve due to the significant resources needed to staff (up to 500 hours) or fund (up to $25,000) the work and implementation through completion. 3. 1% or 6 projects as difficult to achieve due to the major resources needed to staff (more than 500 hours) or fund (more than $25,000) the work and implementation through completion. Climate Action Plan The 2017-19 Climate Action Major City goal focused on building capacity and updating the Climate Action Plan (CAP). The City expects to adopt the updated CAP in Fall 2019. The updated Climate Action Plan will set a trajectory to carbon neutrality by 2035 and will include wide ranging implementation strategies. In FY 2019, staff expects to begin implementing the CAP and planning for community resilience in adapting to the impacts of climate change. Packet Pg. 461 Strategic Scan This is a new addition to budget process and was developed by two Cal Poly interns in City Administration Department with consultation from the Leadership team. The scan provides an in-depth overview of important statistical information pertaining to social, economic, and environmental factors. It addresses issues pertinent to the delivery of City services and provides important context for decision making through the budget process. It should be noted that the scan is not exhaustive of all data important to the City but is intended to be illustrative of strategic indicators for consideration and discussion. The complete presentation is provided as Attachment D. to this report. Goal Setting Workshop – Thursday, February 7, 2019 Traditionally, the Council’s goals setting workshop was an all-day Saturday session in the City- County library. On October 2, 2018, the Council reviewed the Financial Plan schedule and directed staff to consider moving this session to a weekday evening special meeting. Staff is recommending moving the session from February 9, to February 7, 2019, at 5:00 pm. Packet Pg. 462 ENTERPRISE FUNDS WATER FUND Status update: Water Rate Structure and Rate Implementation - The water rate structure and rates adopted by City Council on June 19, 2018 were implemented. Implementation of this change was a complicated undertaking for the Utility Billing team as it worked with the City’s software provider to ensure the new billing system accurately calculated bills and explained changes to customers. Water Treatment Plant Energy Efficiency Project - Phase 3 of the Water Plant Energy Efficiency Project is making significant progress. This project has the potential to significantly reduce energy use by addressing aged and inefficient equipment and construct a hydroelectric generation and photovoltaic systems. An investment grade audit (IGA) to identify rebates, incentives, energy saving projects, project costs and payback, is currently underway. The IGA is expected to be complete April 2019. Pipeline Replacement - Currently underway is a $3 million pipeline replacement project that replaces approximately 5,000 feet of aged waterlines on Pacific, Boysen, Chorro, and Sierra streets. Additional waterline replacements are planned for Casa, Stenner, Murray and the intersections of Chorro/Meinecke and Chorro/Murray. Groundwater Sustainability Agency - The City worked with the County of San Luis Obispo and other stakeholders to form a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA). The GSA is working together to develop a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP)for the San Luis Obispo Valley groundwater basin. The goal of the GSP is the long-term health of the local groundwater resources. What lies ahead The Water Fund’s portion of the Fiscal Health Response Plan is $540,000 over the next three years. Water revenues received from rates and/or fees for service and increases to rates and fees will not be used to close the budget gap. For fiscal year 2018-19, increased revenues, attributable to an increase in consumption, and decreased expenses will provide $200,000 toward meeting the target. Additionally, Council adopted the required funding to install new water meters capable of accurately recording flow at the low-flow rates typically associated with high - efficiency plumbing fixtures. An exact assessment of revenues attributable to meter replacement and associated increased accuracy will be determined at the end of FY19. Packet Pg. 463 SEWER FUND Status update Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) Upgrade project - Phase 3 of the WRRF upgrade is currently underway. The main driver for the project is to meet regulatory discharge requirements, address aged equipment, and provide a community asset. The WRRF Project has achieved the 95% design project milestone. Additionally, the City will receive a State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan in an amount up to $140 million, at an interest rate that is half the State’s General Obligation Bond interest rate and was recently approved to receive $4 million of principal forgiveness from Green Project Reserve funding. Margarita Lift Station - The Margarita Lift station was originally installed in 1971 and needs replacement. Construction is currently underway and 60% complete. This project is expected to be completed by December 2018. Sewer Lining Project - This project will rehabilitate 4,350 of existing sewer pipe in five different locations proximate to Chorro and Benton streets. The project is currently out to bid. Construction is scheduled to begin in the first quarter and expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019. What lies ahead The Sewer Fund’s portion of the Fiscal Health Response Plan is $542,000 over the next three years. For fiscal year 2018-19, increased revenues and decreased expenses will provide $100,000 toward meeting the target. $80,000 of the operating expense reduction is attributable to energy and process control changes. $20,000 in increased revenues is attributable to more accurate fee collection due to the water meter change out program. Assessment of revenues attributable to meter accuracy will be determined at the end of FY19. PARKING FUND Status update: Implementation of License Plate Recognition (LPR) - This software is primarily used to assist parking enforcement in monitoring time limits in the downtown and other time limited parking areas throughout the City. The LPR reduces the time required to “chalk” vehicles, and documents the vehicle plate, location, and time for citation adjudication and contesting. Therefore, existing staff increase their efficiency and range of coverage throughout the City. The LPR system can also help with occupancy data collection to update the City’s KH Park + modeling software. The LPR and KH Park systems are both intended to provide vastly improved parking utilization data. Packet Pg. 464 Structural Assessment and Maintenance Report for Parking Structures – This project completed a detailed structural analysis of each of the existing parking structures and identified and prioritized maintenance and repairs necessary. This was approved by Council in the 17-19 Budget and enables the Parking Fund to prioritize the capital investments which will extend the useful life of these major assets. Installation of the Parking Access and Revenue Control System (PARCS) – This is a complete replacement of the equipment and software at each of the public parking structures. The prior system was 20+ years old and required attendants to accept either cash or credit payments. Outside of attendants’ hours2, the gates remained raised, resulting in a significant loss of revenue and cost disparity between daytime and nighttime users. The new system is fully automated and will allow customers to enter and exit 24/7. In addition, multiple payment options, including pay-on-foot machines (POF) at each location, will significantly facilitate the exiting process. The attendants can expand their role to assist customers by also patrolling the structures to provide customer assistance and serve as ambassadors for the City. The new system will also provide accurate real-time occupancy data which can be viewed on the City website. The goal is to eventually provide a mobile platform to provide drivers with parking information before reaching the structures, thus reducing the need to drive around looking for a parking space. What lies ahead Fiscal Health Response Plan - The Parking Funds portion of the Fiscal Health Response Plan is $175,000 over the next three years. For fiscal year 2018-19, increased revenues and decreased expenses will meet the target. $10,000 of the operating expense reduction is obtainable in the landscaping budget, and over $165,000 in increased revenues is attributable to parking rate increases approved by Council (July 2017) that were effective January 1, 2018. Palm Nipomo Structure – The process of getting the final design contract is moving forward but will not likely be completed for at least another year. EV Charging Stations – Parking Services is continuing to work with PG&E to complete the installation of the EV charging stations in both the Marsh Street and 919 Palm Parking Structures. This will dramatically increase the capacity of charging stations available to both public and the City’s fleet vehicles. TRANSIT FUND Status update: Phase 1 Implementation of SRTP - City Council adopted the 2017-22 Short Range Transit Plan in August of 2016. Phase 1 and major components of the recommended changes were enacted in June 2017. As a direct result, many of the goals and assumptions of the Plan have come to fruition. These include improved on-time performance/reliability ( 97% as of last analysis), new service to the regional airport, eleven new bus stops, expanded service hours on weekdays and 2 8:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. Packet Pg. 465 weekends, reduction in complaints and system inquiries because of improved ease-of-use (e.g. “where is the bus” or “how can I use the bus”), growth in use with middle and high school students and reduced costs (diesel fuel use reduced by 13.5%, or 13,690 gallons) Further, these changes will improve the transit systems scalability as service needs continue to change in the future. Awards & Recognitions - The major undertakings of overhauling the aging transit system has been acknowledged, so far, with three industry awards. The American Public Works Association’s Central Coast Chapter has awarded SLO Transit its 2017 Project of the Year Award. Metro Magazine has awarded SLO Transit its 2018 Innovation Award. And the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (CalACT) has awarded SLO Transit its 2018 Outstanding Transportation Agency Award. What lies ahead Fiscal Health Response Plan - The Transit Funds portion of the Fiscal Health Response Plan is $42,500 over the next three years. For fiscal year 2018-19, increased revenues and decreased expenses (e.g. fuel) will help ensure that the Transit fund can meet the target without impacts to the services. Service & Fleet Expansion - SLO Transit experienced an anticipated and temporary reduction in ridership during FY 2017/18, directly tied to fare increase and service changes. Early figures in FY 2018/19 shows an increase in ridership both among university students and the general population. While ridership increases are desirable, SLO Transit will need to identify and secure funding sources/strategies to expand service and the fleet in order to meet increasing service demands. Zero Emission Vehicles - Adding to the challenge of needed fleet expansion is the need to procure zero emission vehicles, currently at almost the double the initial cost of a diesel fuel vehicle. Further, the program will need to modify its current transit operations & maintenance facility in order to accommodate zero emission vehicle charging. Stake Holder Funding - Funding for public transit services, while having seen some improvements is still largely driven by outside stake-holders and factors (e.g. Federal, State Government, CalPoly University, SLOCOG and RTA). The Transit Enterprise Fund will need to continually work with these partners to help ensure adequate financial support. CONCURRRENCES The City’s internal Financial Plan Steering Committee concur with the recommendations included in this report.

The Financial Plan process used by the City Council accomplishes this through a Major City Goals (MCG) • Housing • Multi-Modal Transportation • Climate Action • Fiscal Sustainability & Responsibility Other Important Objectives (010) • Downtown Vitality public engagement process that helps the Council identify Major City Goals, establishing a timeframe and organizational responsibility for achieving them, and allocating the resources needed to do so. In order to identify the goals to drive the budget process, the City begins its Financial Plan process by asking its advisory bodies to submit goals, soliciting feedback from the public with a survey, and holding a community forum, in addition to other outreach efforts. This input helps the Council determine the major objectives it wants to accomplish over the next two years in addition to the ongoing services the City provides to the community. At the Goal-Setting Workshop in January 2017, Council established four Major City Goals and one Other Important Council Objective, listed below. The proposed work programs and funding to accomplish the Major City Goals and Other Important Objective are presented in this section. The purpose of this summary is to provide an estimate of progress as of October 1, 2018. 2017-19 MCG ACTION HIGHLIGHTS 2018 Housing 73% Complete Faolitate increased production of all housing types designed to be economically accessible to the area workforce and low and ve!JI /ow-income residents, through increased density and proximity to transportation corridors in alignment with the Climate Action Plan. As of September 30, 2018, the Affordable Housing Fund has a balance of approximately $1.5 million. The City continued to implement the Inclusionary Housing Requirement throughout 2018 and has over 8 Affordability Agreements in process through long-term and equity-share programs. Pursuant to the recently adopted Zoning Regulations, workforce housing is now incorporated as an income category. Staff has begun preliminary development of a scope of work for the required update of the City's Housing Element, which will include an Packet Pg. 478 Item 15 affordable housing nexus study and a workforce housing program. This Update will be completed in conjunction with the upcoming 6th cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for San Luis Obispo County. It is anticipated the completion of this work effort by December 2020. Multi-Modal Transportation 70% Complete Prioritize implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian safety, and the Short-Range Transit Plan. In October staff completed the first designated 'Complete Streets' project on Laurel Lane. This project was a top priority in the 2016 Traffic Safety Report, noting the need to improve pedestrian safety along this corridor with connections to schools, parks, trails and key recreational facilities. The improvements included safety improvements for all users, vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and transit riders. Several critical projects were advanced and/or completed thus far in 2018, including: The Calle Joaquin Park and Ride lot opened for service in February 2018. This is the first Park and Ride lot in the City. The City is now working with ReCarGo, the California Energy Commission vendor for the US 101 corridor, to implement EV charging stations in a portion of the lot. Traffic safety projects continue to be implemented. The signal upgrade at Monterey/Osos is complete and trip hazard created by the street tree's impact on the sidewalk at 1005 Monterey Street has been repaired. The Annual Traffic Safety Report for calendar year 2016 was presented to Council on February 6, 2018 and reported injury collisions in 2016 were the second lowest in the 16 years of the program. Overall reported collisions were the lowest ever recorded in the program's history. The Anholm Bikeway Plan received final approval by Council on September 4, 2018, including amendments to identify specific recommendations for the challenging "middle segment" between Lincoln and Ramona. Design of Phase 1 of the project is well underway, and construction of the first Phase 1 improvements are anticipated to begin 1 st Quarter of 2019. Right of Way negotiations with the LDS Church are underway. The Caltrans Project Study Report (PSR) for the Prado Road Interchange was approved in April 2018. The next stage of Caltrans processing - environmental and final project approval- will now commence. Currently staff is working on critical grant funded projects such as the Railroad Safety Trail - Taft to Pepper, Mid Higuera Widening, the Prado Road Bridge and Santa Fe Bridge replacement projects and the Tank Farm/Orcutt Road Roundabout. Some projects, such as minor NTM projects were delayed in order to meet deadlines and not endanger grant funding. SLO Transit has continued to adjust services based upon input from riders and community members. To date, SLO Transit has implemented almost 80% of the road network changes recommended in the City's 2017-22 Short Range Transit Plan within its first year of the plan's adoption. Service intensity will come as additional funding sources materialize. In conjunction with service changes, SLO Transit has replaced eight old bus shelters that had reached the end of their "useful life" and installed four new bus shelters at stops meeting thresholds using state awarded PTMISEA funds. SLO Transit has won three awards since implementing the SRTP. SLO Transit was recognized as Outstanding Transportation Agency by the California Association of Coordinated Transit. The award recognized the City's update and modernization of services and its fleet. The American Public Works Association (APWA) also recognized this project as a Project of The Year for 2017-18. And, METRO Magazine award SLO Transit it's 2018 Innovation Award. Climate Action 70% Complete Packet Pg. 479 Item 15 Implement Climate Action Plan assess requirements to achieve a "net-zero carbon City" target, and implement cost-effective measures, including implementation of a Sustainability Coordinator and formation of a Green Team. The City hired a Sustainability Manager, effective March 8, 2018. Since being hired, the Sustainability Manager has held Green Team meetings and supporting the Climate Coalition Task Force as staff liaison. Staff has been working on the updated climate action plan, which will include a pathway to the carbon neutral by 2035 target. Due to the more aggressive target, staff expects the plan to be completed in Fall 2019. Staff has worked to create sustainability incentive programs through support of the development of a green business program for local businesses, the SLO Green Challenge website for residents, and by working in collaboration with regional partners. In April 2018, staff received a biennial facility energy benchmarking report and is pursuing energy efficiency lighting audits and retrofits. As of September 2018, Council provided approval to staff to negotiate on-bill financing for lighting retrofits through the agency. Staff is also pursuing the siting of upwards of lMW solar on City facilities. In addition, Utilities received approval from the City Council in April of 2018 to complete investment grade audits for energy efficiency projects. In Spring 2018, staff began participating in two electric vehicle charging programs, which could bring over 40 electric vehicles chargers to the City for public and fleet uses. These programs would be funded through licensing fees or utility program incentives. In April of 2018, the City received confirmation from the City of Morro Bay of intent to participate in the Community Choice Energy (CCE) program. In May of 2018, City Council approved release of a request-for-proposals (RFP) for technical energy services for the purpose of developing and operating a CCE program. As of September 2018, the cities of Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo adopted CCE ordinances and created a new JPA (Central Coast Community Energy) for the purpose of hosting the CCE program. In October of 2018, the California Public Utilities Commission adopted a new method for calculating certain fees associated with CCE programs, which is causing staff to reassess the preferred approach to a local program. Packet Pg. 480 Fiscal Sustainability & Responsibility 65% Complete Continue to implement the City' s Fiscal Responsibility Philosophy with a focus on economic development and responsiveness, unfunded liabilities, and infrastructure financing. A Fiscal Health Response Plan has been developed to address identified $8.9 million structural budget gap due to significant increases in pension costs to pay down unfunded liabilities and was adopted by the City Council on April 17, 2018. With the adoption of the General Fund portion of the 2018-19 Supplemental Budget, City staff identified a total of $1.1 million in operating reductions and $0.4 million in revenue through doing business differently. Those actions reduce the General Fund obligation for years two and three of the Plan to $6 million as outlined in the table below. Over the past six months, the City has negotiated successor Memorandum of Agreements (MOAs) that include three-year terms with the San Luis Obispo Police Officers' Association, the International Association of Firefighters, Local 3523, and Unrepresented Management and Confidential groups. These successor MOAs include modest cost of living increases and employees paying more towards their retirement. The City will save approximately $996,000 by year 2020-21 because of the agreements. The City is actively negotiating with the largest employee group, the San Luis Obispo City Employees' Association as their contract expired June 30, 2018 and will also be negotiating with San Luis Obispo Police Staff Officers' Association ahead of their contract expiring in June 30, 2019. Considering revenue estimates from a cannabis tax amounting to $3 million, doing business differently, and negotiated employee concessions targeted at $1.7 million over the three years of the plan, $1,356,000 is still needed from operating expenditure savings. Of that amount, $902,000 was identified by departments as year two and three reductions, leaving an additional $454,000 to be identified as part of the 2019-21 Financial Plan budget development effort. Those reductions, along with the previously identified $902,000, will be presented to Council as part of strategic budget direction on April 16, 2019. Staff also conducted a 10-year review of the General Fund's capital improvement needs. The project list identified the cost of maintaining existing assets, enhancing existing assets, or building new projects. It was determined through Measure G, there is sufficient funding to maintain existing assets, but not necessarily to enhance existing ones. Initial findings were presented to Council on January 16, 2018 and staff conducted additional project analysis based on Council direction. This review resulted in a "Funding the Future of SLO" initiative, with 20 years of capital projects that fulfill the City's vision as articulated in various planning documents. In addition, staff completed an initial public engagement process and statistical survey. Council reviewed this information on April 17, 2018. Council provided direction for additional public engagement and project review to be included in the 19-21 Financial Plan. In addition, in advance of the 19-21 Financial Plan staff will provide Council with proposals for early implementation of public engagement. The City continues to address closure of the Diablo Canyon and prepare for the impacts to the region due to significant loss of jobs and property tax value. In September, Governor Brown signed SB 1090 which approved $85 million in mitigation funding including $1.82 million for economic development efforts for the City. Staff is currently developing financial policies that will be included in the Financial Plan to guide the allocation of the funds. 2017-19 OTHER IMPORTANT OBJECTIVES ACTION HIGHLIGHTS 2018 Downtown Vitality 75% Complete Continue to improve safety, infrastructure investment, and maintenance in the Downtown and support Downtown Association' s proposal to consider a Downtown improvement district Packet Pg. 481 Maintenance work continues in the downtown core which includes tree maintenance, sidewalk scrubbing, and street sweeping. In January through June 2019, additional tree pruning and tree replacements, include any necessary infrastructure replacements, will occur in 26 locations. Replacement of the Marsh Street Bridge design work continues and is scheduled to start construction in Spring of 2019. The next Downtown Renewal Project located in the 800 block of Higuera Street is delayed and anticipated to start construction in Winter 2020. Planning work for the Downtown Concept Plan and Mission Plaza Concept Plan is complete. Implementation of portions of the Mission Plaza Concept Plan began in summer of 2018. Per the 2017 Point In Time Count, the total number of homeless individuals in San Luis Obispo went down 15%, however, calls for service involving the homeless went up 13%. Homeless calls for service accounted for 30% of all calls for service in the downtown. Policing the downtown requires a considerable amount of time from law enforcement. Calls for service downtown accounted for 15% of all calls for service in the City of San Luis Obispo. The Community Action Team and Bicycle Team (when not pulled for patrol) continue to maintain public safety by focusing efforts in addressing chronic offenders and evening patrols within the downtown. Continued coordination with the Downtown Association to provide safety at Farmers Market and to educate the community on homelessness issues is underway. Additionally, the Police Department has sent two of its personnel through a certification program in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). Police Department Staff is working closely with Community Development, Public Works, and Parks staff to address issues from an environmental perspective in the Mission and in other areas that attract homeless individuals in the downtown. The Police Department coordinated with the County of San Luis Obispo to expand mental Health Services. The County has awarded a contract to Transitions Mental Health Association for services and a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the City and Transitions Mental Health Association to help address transient mental health needs. In April 2018 the Police Department designated one of the sergeant positions as the Downtown sergeant and will focus on addressing the needs and crimes within the City' s downtown. In addition, the City worked with Downtown SLO to hire a consultant to analyze and present recommendations for a property-based business improvement district. Initial recommendations Packet Pg. 482 Item 15 were presented to Downtown SLO and key stakeholders in March 2018. It was determined that the continued refinement and outreach should take place over the next year before moving forward. NEXT REVIEW The next review of the 2017-19 Major City Goals and Other Important Objectives will occur at midway through 2018-19. Individual items requiring policy direction and/ or Council approval will continue to be brought to Council for consideration and direction.

On April 10, 2018, Council authorized an interim part of this study (Upper Monterey to the RR) as part of the Zoning Regulations The Downtown Association elected to take a pause in the process to form a Property Based Improvement District pending more outreach with Downtown Property Owners. More progress is anticipated as the new CEO gets oriented and resumes discussions with property owners and businesses. A consultant was hired to analyze and present recommendations for a property-based business improvement district. Initial recommendations were presented to Downtown and SLO and key stakeholders in March 2018. It was determined that the continued refinement and outreach should take place over the next year before moving forward. Project approved by Council as part of Mid­ year budget. Bid package under design for circulation in winter 2018. Project will be phased to include barriers at both ends of Higuera and both ends of Chorro; and, both entrances to Mission Plaza. Original design has been modified to accommodate the presence of conflicting underground utilities and the shallow depth of the bridge deck on Higuera. Staff anticipates coming to the City Council in Spring 2019 with a recommendation after meeting with the ARC, CHC, and Downtown SLO. Packet Pg. 499 Section G.2 Background Materials Reports from November 13, 2018 Workshop FISCAL HEALTH RESPONSE PLAN Packet Pg. 500 Fiscal Health Response Plan PLAN PURPOSE The purpose of this plan is to establish a three-year framework to respond to the long­ term fiscal impacts of the significant increases in required pension contributions to the CalPERS retirement system. This plan is a specific deliverable and is structured in a manner to provide guidance for budgetary actions in the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year as well as to provide broad strategic budget direction for the 2019-2021 Financial Plan. THE PROBLEM The City of San Luis Obispo and the other 3,000-member agencies in the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), are facing significant increases in required pension contributions. The City's annual Ca IP E RS costs are projected to more than double in ten years; growing from $7.8 million in 2014-15 to $19 million in 2024-25 for the General Fund. These costs will continue to grow through 2031-32 and affect a II funds including the City's Enterprise Funds (Water, Waste Water, Transit, and Parking). To addresses these rapidly rising costs, the City must address an $8.9 million ($7.5 million from the Gen era I Fund and $1.4 million from the Enterprise Funds) budget gap over the next three fiscal years (2018- 19, 2019-20, and 2020-21). The size of the problem has been informed using fiscal forecasting supported by third party economic models, as well as the City's outside sales tax advisor and a separate actuary who specializes in pensions. Last Updated: April 9, 2018 The City's fiscal forecasting is based on as sumptions such as: 1.Continuing current levels of service. 2.Continuing the commitment to ca pita I investment including a slight increase due to ongoing maintenance needs. 3.Modest long-term revenue growth and inflation. 4.Continuing Local Revenue Measure (Measure G) funds. 5.Enterprise Funds revenue projections based on approved and historic rates and revenue growth trends. The City must continue to utilize CalPERS as its retirement system as it is not feasible for the City to leave without incurring significant costs. To exit CalPERS, the City would have 30 days to meet its projected (worst case) financial obligations estimated to be from $377 to $495 million at the time of separation. Furthermore, the current legal framework in California restricts cities ability to reduce retirement benefits for current employees, as well as retirees. Lastly, CalPERS forbids offering alternative retirement benefits for new employees, different from those reduced benefits that already have been legislatively authorized. Packet Pg. 501 Fiscal Health Response Plan GENERAL FUND FOCUS; ENTERPRISE FUND PARTICIPATION This Plan is primarily focused on gu iding the General Fund closure of the ongoing budget gap over the next three fiscal yea rs. The Enterprise Funds (Water, Sewer, Parking, and Transit) are also participating because the problem of rising pension costs a Isa affects employees of the Enterprise Funds as they participate in the same CalPERS retirement system as General Fund employees. Each fund, however, will solve the problem based on the fund type and its unique situation, as discussed later in this report. KEY CITY POLICIES AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR THIS PLAN •The City's existing financial policies provide the foundation for this P Ian and include a balanced, sustainable budget based on conservative investment practices and diversified revenues. •Specific policies which support this P Ian include: the 2001 Fis cal Health Contingency Plan, the 2014 Fina ncia I Responsibility Philosophy, the Compensation Philosophy and the 2017 Long-Term Liabilities and Maintenance of Infrastructure. •Ongoing Fiscal Heal th Monitoring including modeling of economic trends and incorporation of new data will occur through the budgetary process and three years of this P Ian. •Budgetary changes in response to the Plan will minimize service level impacts. Last Updated: April 9, 2018 •Budgetary reductions will be implementable and monitored during the three years of the P Ian. •Sus ta inability principles will be incorporated into changes in the ways the City "does business" whe re possible. •Capital Improvement Project investment will not be diminished in the General Fund and is projected to increase slightly during the Plan's effective period. •The City's Organizational values will be considered when evaluating budgetary reductions so that employees, programs, departments, and the organization can continue to support and implement these values. •The maintenance of facilities, infrastructure, and equipment will continue, and reductions will have the least amount of maintenance impacts as possible. •The application of unassigned fund-balance due to one-time expenditure savings or one­ time increase in revenue will continue to be applied to paying down long-term unfunded liabilities and investment in infrastructure and/or critical equipment. •Ongoing increases in revenue will be carefully evaluated and will also be considered as a means to speed up the paydown of unfunded liabilities. The City will carefully evaluate the tradeoffs of expanding or adding new programs, rather than paying down unfunded liabilities. •The City will work closely with its elected representatives and others (including the League of California Cities) in ongoing efforts to address long-term changes to the Ca IP ER S system. Packet Pg. 502 Fiscal Health Response Plan INTEGRATION OF THE PLAN WITH THE FINANCIAL PLANNING PROCESS The Fiscal Health Response Plan will be ap plied to the 2018-19 Budget Su pplement as well to the 2019-21 Financial Plan process. The 2019-21 Financial Plan will include Major City Goals informed by public participation. However, the Fiscal Health Response Plan sets forth the framework by which the 2019-21 will need to close the structural budget gap of $8.9 million over the term of this Plan. For ease of use, and so that Council and the community can review the implementation of this P Ian with respect to solving this problem, this document will be updated with a record of Council meetings regarding the Plan's implementation. Council Meeting Date Action Related to FHRP Taken April 17, 2018 1.Adoption of FHRP 2.Strategic Budget Direction for 2018-19 Budget Supplement To be completed as meetings Scheduled meetings include June 5 and 19, 2018 Council meetings on occur. the 2018-19 Budget Supplement and primary options to address unfunded liabilities. ELEMENTS OF THIS PLAN There are three key components to this Plan. These components create savings and revenue necessary to address the unfunded liability. In addition, there are two primary options for reducing the increased costs of the City's unfunded liability. THREE KEY COMPONENTS PRIMARY OPTIONS TO ADDRESS THE UNFUNDED LIABILITY 1.New Revenues 1.Prepayment of both normal and unfunded P E RS Cos ts 2.Op erating Reductions and New Ways of Doing Bu siness 2.Section 115 Pens ion Tr ust Formation 3.Employee Conc essions Last Updated: April 9, 2018 Packet Pg. 503 Fiscal Health Response Plan KEY COMPONENTS OF THIS PLAN The City must address an $8.9 million ($7.5 million from the General Fund and $1.4 million from the Enterprise Funds) budget gap over the next three fiscal years (2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020- 21). There are three key components that have been identified to accomplish this Plan: 1) new revenues, 2) operating reductions and new ways of doing business, and 3) employee concessions. These will be apportioned as follows for the General Fund: New Ways of Doing Business Operating Reductions Concessions NEW REVENUES Revenues 30-40% of the solution is proposed through new revenues. Only the General Fund will participate in this component. • A General Fund Cannabis Tax. The General Fund's primary sources of funding are taxes and fees for services. A general-purpose tax on Cannabis sales, requiring voter approval of a simple majority, will be evaluated for placement on the November 2018 ballot. Sh ould a Cannabis Tax be Unsuccessful? Should a Cannabis Tax be unsuccessful, either by not receiving voter approval or by underperforming in projected revenues, other new sources of revenue will be evaluated, such as consideration of increased Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) or a Stormwater Tax. Additional revenue from taxes and any recommended would require further direction from Council prior to implementation. •The Enterprise Fu nds will not propose new revenues to solve this problem. The Enterprise Funds are funded by rates and/or fees for the services provided. Transit is primarily funded through Federal and State grants and programs in combination with a 20% match from fares. Increases to rates and/or fees will not be made to close this budget gap in the Enterprise Funds. Any changes to those rates and/or fees in the Enterprise Funds during the fis ca I period of this P Ian will be due to other cost increases or a result of enhanced fee recovery unrelated to unfunded pension liability cost increases. Last Updated: April 9, 2018 Packet Pg. 504 Fiscal Health Response Plan OPERATING REDUCTIONS AND NEW WAYS OF DOING BUSINESS. 30 to 40% of the solution is proposed from operating reductions and/or new ways of doing business. All Funds and Departments will participate in this component to varying degrees. OPERATING REDUCTIONS 1.Proactive Fiscal Management. a.Refinance City Bonds. Eligible City bonds will be refinanced to reduce debt rates. b.Pay CalPERS Requ ired Contribution in One-Lu mp Sum Once A Vear. Based upon the City's cashflow analysis, the City will exercise the option to pay contributions to Ca IP ER S in one lump sum resulting in ongoing savings. CalPERS offers two options of payment, annual and one-lump sum. c.Evaluate other Fiscal Efficiencies. For in stance, credit card bank charges will be evaluated so that any cost reductions which do not diminish customer service are implemented. Other fiscal management efficiencies will be explored for cost savings. 2.Pu rsue Energy Efficiencies and Cans umption Reductions. Departments will evaluate budgets to identify energy efficiencies which could save both costs and energy. Fuel and other consumables usage will be reduced through fuel efficiency vehicles and/or use pattern improvements. Last Updated: April 9, 2018 3.Consultant services agreements. When possible, consultant services agreements will be renegotiated for better value and/or budgeted amounts will be adjusted to reflect service levels needed. 4.Other Agreemen ts. The City has multiple agreements for a myriad of purposes ranging from the purchases of goods to the provision of City services and/or use of City facilities. Those agreements subject to renewal will be evaluated for the opportunities to decrease costs or to increase cost recovery while at the same time balancing the value of community partnerships. 5.Tax and Fee Enforcement. The City will continue to proactively seek compliance with business license, Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Homestay, Code Enforcement, and other activities which could result in more accurate revenue collections. 6.Long-term liabilities. Consistent with the City's fiscal policies, the City will continue to utilize one-time funds to pay down unfunded liabilities and to invest in infrastructure. 7.Risk Management. The City will continue to actively implement its "30% in 3" risk management program to reduce liability and worker's compensation expenditures. Packet Pg. 505 Fiscal Health Response Plan NEW WAYS OF DOING BUSINESS 1.Su stainability. The City will pursue increased investment in sustainable infrastructure with positive and short-term paybacks on investment. 2.Enhanced Efficiency & Effectiveness. a.Energy Efficiency. Including the use of solar power will be explored and implemented when possible for short and long-term cost savings. Other energy efficiencies will be evaluated as well. b.Enterprise Resource System. The Motion project, consisting of business process re-engineering and implementation of an Enterprise EMPLOYEE CONCESSIONS. Resource System, will result in decommissioning of several older systems and will create opportunities for employee efficiencies and effectiveness. c.Equipment Replacement. Equipment replacement will result in energy savings, more accurate data collection, and more accurate revenues will be identified. 3.Th oughtful re-organizations. Staff transitions will be used to evaluate current staffing levels and service provision. The City will evaluate cross­ departmental operations, service levels, and contracted services for re­ organization opportunities. 20% to 30% would be contributions via employee conces sions. All Funds, General and Enterprise, will participate in employee concessions. •In addressing unfunded pension liability as it relates to employee concessions the City's adopted F isca IS ustainability Philosophy, Compensation Philosophy and Labor Relations Objectives will provide guida nee. •The City will meet and confer in good faith with its represented employee groups regarding the impacts of changes to wages, hours, and/or working conditions. PRIMARY OPTIONS TO ADDRESS THE UNFUNDED LIABILITY The City will evaluate each of the options in June 2018: Prepayment of unfunded liabilities by pre­ paying PERS and/or funding a Section 115 Pension Trust to make future payments to PERS. The use of each method may vary by Fund. Last Updated: April 9, 2018 Packet Pg. 506 Fiscal Health Response Plan COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIES The following identifies communication strategies with the Community and employees. COMMUNITY ENGAGE ME NT As is the City's practice the Community will be engaged consistent with the City's Public Engagement and Noticing (PEN) Manual. There will be multiple methods of communications used to inform and educate the community as well as receive feedback and address questions and concerns. In addition to the PEN methods of communication and public engagement will include: •Public Notification of Council Meetings on the Plan. •What's New in S LO and other website informational postings. •E-notification, social media posts and press releases. •Community forums and workshops in conjunction with the financial planning process. •Presentations to City Advisory Bodies and interested community groups. •OpenCityHall topics. Last Updated: April 9, 2018 EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT As is the City's practice all employees will be engaged in the financial planning process and the application of this Plan to that process. There will be multiple methods of communications to inform and educate employees as well as receive input and address questions and concerns. •Briefings with City Manager, Department Heads and Budget Manager. •Updates via emails and SLOW hat Monthly publication. •Briefings with employee associations' representatives. •Surveys to Employees • 0 rga nization-wide briefings. Packet Pg. 507 Fiscal Health Response Plan IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN •The Plan will guide staff's preparation of the 2018-19 Budget Suppl ement for Council's consideration and adoption in June 2018. •The Plan will guide the Fina ncia I Plan process for the development of the Major City Goa Is and Financial Plan for 2019-21. EXTERNAL IMPACTS TO PLAN This plan has been based on assumptions made in the fiscal forecast in December 2017. It is based on fisca I forecasts which have multiple inputs from multiple economic resources both external and internal to the City. However, a forecast is an estimate at a point and time and during the life of this Plan there could be significant external forces which further impact the City's fiscal forecast. There are other fiscal policies and plans in place to help guide such a change. The following could have impact to the City's overall budget through either expenditures or revenues and would res ult in staff returning to Council for further direction. •Changes in Economic Conditions. The nation continues to be in an unprecedented economic expansion following the Great Recession. This is unlikely to continue for the entire period of this Plan. Additionally, changes in federal fiscal policy and grant funding may res ult in a slowing of the nationa I and loca I economies. •Diablo Cl osure The closure of Diablo Canyon presents an uncertain economic impact to the City and County of San Luis Obispo. At the time of this Plan's creation, the mitigation of that impact is uncertain. The City will continue to have a lead role in addressing this problem and preparing an economic and financial analysis of the impacts of this closure. This analysis will be incorporated into the 2019-21 Financial Plan. •Further CalPERS Changes. Required contributions to CalPERS are based on actuarial assumptions and further changes may occur if approved by the Ca IP ER S Board. Examples of past significant changes in assumptions include changes to amortization periods, changes to expected rate of return, and changes to demographic assumptions. Future changes in actuarial assumptions may once again result in significant fiscal impacts to the City. •Natural Disaster. All municipalities are vulnerable to natural disasters be it earthquake, fire, or flood. The City maintains reserves for these unfortunate circumstances but in recent years the magnitude of disasters seen in neighboring cities north and south have been at unprecedented economic levels.

This report also covers action items and the status of efforts in the Airport Area, Margarita Area, Orcutt Area, San Luis Ranch and Avila Ranch specific plans. STATUS OF GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMS The following schedules provide a concise yet comprehensive summary of the status of all General Plan implementation programs. As discussed in greater detail below, of the 409 individual implementation programs in the General Plan, 93% (379) of them are completed or have been integrated into the City’s ongoing operations. This is a nearly four percent increase of implemented programs since the last Financial Plan reporting. Given the ambitious nature of our General Plan and its twenty-year time horizon, we believe that this represents significant progress in achieving General Plan goals. The incomplete programs (7% of the total) are classified as follows: „ 2% (8) as being relatively easy to achieve from a resource perspective. „ 4% (16) as being of moderate difficulty. „ 1% (6) as being difficult to achieve. Report Focus: Why Report on the Status of Programs? The City’s General Plan is composed of a “building block” hierarchy of goals, objectives, policies and programs. Goals and objectives are direction-setters. They describe desirable conditions and preferred outcomes as they are applied to specific situations. Goals are generally not quantifiable, time-dependent or suggestive of specific actions for their achievement. Objectives generally state an intermediate step toward attaining a goal. Policies are typically more specific statements that guide decision-making. Programs are actions that implement goals, objectives and policies. As such, monitoring our progress in implementing General Plan programs is an excellent way of monitoring our progress in achieving General Plan goals and objectives. And for this reason, it is the focus of this report. Status of General Plan Implementation Programs Complete or Ongoing 93%High Difficulty 1% Medium Difficulty 4%Low Difficulty 2% Packet Pg. 512 INTRODUCTION - 2 - Report Organization General Plan Elements. The report first organizes each of the implementation programs into one of our eight General Plan elements: „ Land Use (LU) „ Housing (H) „ Circulation (C) „ Conservation and Open Space (COSE) „ Noise (N) „ Safety (S) „ Parks and Recreation (PR) „ Water and Wastewater (WW) Implementation Program Summary. A short “one-line” narrative is provided for each implementation program, referencing the specific General Plan Program number. (Each program is assigned a “line number” solely for easy internal reference within the report itself.) Lead Department. The lead responsible for implementing the program is presented. (In many cases, several departments work closely together in implementing the program; this simply indicates which department has the lead role in coordinating program implementation.) „ Administration (ADM) „ Community Development (CD) „ Finance & Information Technology (FIT) „ Fire (FD) „ Parks and Recreation (P&R) „ Police (PD) „ Public Works (PW) „ Utilities (UT) Implementation Status. All programs are organized into one of two major “status” categories: n If it’s complete (or will be complete by June 2019) or has been integrated into City operations as an ongoing program, this is noted with a “C” (complete) or an “O” (ongoing) in the first status column of the summary. o If it won’t be completed (or become an ongoing program) by June 2019, then we have rated how difficult it will be to complete on an “order of magnitude” (qualitative) basis using the following coding: Low (L): Minimal staff effort and no consultant assistance will be needed to complete the analytical work and coordinate stakeholder-public outreach. While this is a qualitative assessment by the lead department, this generally means that less than 80 hours of staff work and no additional budget resources will be needed to implement the program. Medium (M): Significant staff effort, some consultant assistance or supplemental funding for operations or capital projects will be needed to complete the analytical work and coordinate stakeholder-public outreach or implement the program. Again, while this is a qualitative assessment by the lead department, this generally means between 80 to 500 hours of staff work and/or up to $25,000 for added budget resources will be needed to implement the program. Packet Pg. 513 GENERAL PLAN PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION STATUS - 3 - High (H): Major staff effort, consultant assistance or supplemental funding for operations or capital projects will be needed to complete the analytical work, coordinate stakeholder-public outreach or implement the program. Generally, this means that more than 500 hours of staff work and/or more than $25,000 for added budget resources will be needed to implement the program. Area Plans. “Area plans” like the Railroad District Plan are not General Plan Elements. However, each of the area plans adopted by the Council that have “implementation programs” – Mid-Higuera Street Enhancement Plan, Railroad District Plan, Airport Area Specific Plan, Margarita Area Specific Plan, Orcutt Area Specific Plan, San Luis Ranch Specific Plan and Avila Ranch Specific Plan – are closely linked to the General Plan implementation. Accordingly, the status of “area plan” implementation programs is also provided in this report. They are organized in the same manner as the status report on General Plan program implementation. The Downtown Concept Plan is a graphical document with supporting guidance, and an update was completed in September 2017. Findings General Plan Programs Status Summary. As noted above, 93% of the City’s General Plan implementation programs have been completed or integrated into the City’s day-to-day operations. The Council recently adopted updates to the Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Water and Wastewater Elements, the tables and information in this report capture the modified and added programs for those elements. The Climate Action Plan contains another set of programs or strategies that require implementation. The Climate Action Plan is currently in the process of being updated and is anticipated to be completed by Summer 2019. This strategy document overlaps programs in almost every other element of the General Plan, and therefore may represent some duplication in implementation, however it is included as a summary of strategies for which implementation is vitally important in order to meet Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reductions goals. The following is a more detailed summary of the status of existing General Plan implementation programs by element: Packet Pg. 514 GENERAL PLAN PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION STATUS - 4 - Summary: Status of General Plan Implementation Programs General Plan Element Complete or Ongoing Difficulty to Complete Total Low Medium High No. Pct.

Resource Requirements. Based on our qualitative assessment of the resources need to complete the implementation of the remaining programs, the following is a “high-level” assessment of the staff resources and added budget resources that will ultimately be needed to complete these programs at some point: HIGH LEVEL Resource Assessment Remaining Programs Difficulty FTE's* and/or Consultant Costs min max min max Low 8 0 0.35 $0 $0 Medium 16 0.69 4.32 $0 $400,000 High 5 1.35 1.35 + $125,000 $125,000 + Total 29 2.04 6.02 + $125,000 $525,000 + *Annual Full-time Equivalent (FTE) Value of Remaining Action Items. These summaries show which programs remain undone and the “order of magnitude” resources that would be needed to complete them. However, they do not address their relative value to the community compared with the effort that would be required to complete them. For example, it might be tempting to direct our resources to finishing-up the “low or medium difficulty” programs to get them off our plate. However, this should be weighed against the value likely to be derived. In this case, we might have a greater impact in improving the community’s quality of life if we focused the same level of resources towards accomplishing a fewer number of “high value” (but relatively higher effort) programs. On the other hand, we would want to avoid undertaking high-effort but lower-value programs. Packet Pg. 515 GENERAL PLAN PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION STATUS - 5 - The following is a paradigm or model for assessing these “value versus effort” trade-offs, which can be summarized as follows in the context of allocating resources towards completing General Plan programs: In this model, the first priorities should be selected from Quadrant A: “low effort but high value.” (These are the proverbial “low hanging fruit.”) After this, Quadrants B and C are a “toss-up.” However, in all cases, we would want to minimize efforts towards programs that might fall into Quadrant D, unless the community or decision makers think that there is greater value than the weight assigned by City staff. Ultimately, assessing the value of individual programs and directing resources towards completing them is the Council’s decision (and in the final analysis, this is what the City’s goal-setting and budget process is all about). However, staff can prepare an “order of magnitude” assessment of those programs we believe would have the most near-term benefits relatively quickly if the Council believes that this would be helpful background information in the goal-setting process. Area Plans Railroad District Plan Programs Thirteen of the forty-one Railroad District Plan implementation programs have been completed or integrated into ongoing programs. Of the remaining twenty-eight programs that are not yet complete or integrated into ongoing programs, we have classified two of them as “medium” difficulty and twenty-six as “high.” Several of the programs that call for bike paths along the railroad right-of-way may need to be adjusted to reflect the inability to achieve easements from the Union Pacific Railroad. Mid-Higuera Area Enhancement Plan Programs Quadrant A Quadrant B Low Effort, High Value Low Effort, Low Value Quadrant C Quadrant D High Effort, High Value High Effort, Low Value High Low EF F O R T Lo w Hi g h VALUE Packet Pg. 516 GENERAL PLAN PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION STATUS - 6 - While work has been done toward implementation, none of the twenty-four programs set forth in this long-term plan have been completed. We have classified two of the twenty-four programs that are not yet complete as “medium” difficulty and twenty-two of them as “high.” The LUCE calls for update of this plan. Downtown Concept Plan The General Plan provides policies and programs for all areas of the City including a specific section in the Land Use Element regarding the Downtown. The Downtown Concept Plan is a graphical map with principles that has long been used to guide decisions regarding development in the Downtown. This document is referenced in the Land Use Element (4.0) as an illustration of how Downtown development may occur but was never envisioned as a static document, rather more of a vision concept. Some of the concepts are being pursued with review and approval of private development. Others require City resources and action, and some concepts may change. The Downtown Concept Plan was updated in September 2017, as called for in the Land Use and Circulation Elements update. Specific Plans Airport Area Specific Plan Programs Of the twenty-nine programs set forth in this plan, four have been completed and sixteen have been integrated into ongoing programs. We have classified two of the remaining nine programs that are not yet complete as “medium” and six as “high.” This Specific Plan was amended in September 2014 after many years of agency collaboration to address the Chevron Remediation and Redevelopment proposal and some of these programs have been updated as part of the process. The preparation work needed to begin remediation activities is currently underway on the south side of the property. The Specific Plan was also amended again in 2017, when the Avila Ranch project was approved. There is renewed interest to annex unincorporated properties in the City (e.g., Fiero Lane) now that the recovery of the economy is fully underway and some water and wastewater challenges are on the horizon. Margarita Area Specific Plan The Margarita Area Specific Plan was adopted in October 2004 and accommodates 868 dwelling units and about 900,000 square feet of business park development. Three subdivisions have been approved for a total of approximately 300 residential lots, and several commercial developments have been approved. Within the approved subdivisions, 166 dwelling units have been completed in the Serra Meadows subdivision, building permits have been issued and the first and second phases of the Toscano subdivision, where single family dwelling units are under construction and nearing completion/occupancy. Many of the programs listed in the plan are dependent upon actual construction taking place since they will be implemented with development; however, three of the 87 programs have been completed: the dedication of the South Street Hills; accommodation of site for HASLO to provide affordable dwellings (e.g., Courtyard at the Meadows) and the construction of the Damon-Garcia Sports Field complex.

Review and approve the 2019-21 Financial Plan Goal Setting Process. 2. Review the City’s budget policies. 3. Review and discuss the Economic Outlook for the 2019-21 Financial Plan development. 4. Review the current and long-term capital improvement plan. REPORT-IN-BRIEF The City of San Luis Obispo utilizes a two-year financial planning process to create its budget. This process includes extensive public outreach to assist the City Council in establishing Major City Goals. The benefits of this process are two-fold; it ensures that resources are allocated in the budget to accomplish the community’s highest priority, most important objectives while also addressing the support and maintenance of the City’s current services and capital assets. It therefore provides a process to help create a mutual understanding among community members, decision makers, and City staff and a platform of collaboration toward a common goal. The process includes a wide-reaching community priorities survey, the Community Forum, advisory body recommendations, and several other inputs to prepare the City Council for selecting community goals and priorities for the next financial plan during its Goal-Setting Workshop. Subsequent Council meetings will provide direction to City staff for work programs in support of these goals. Also, the Financial Plan process includes a review of the local economy and its potential impact to the City’s forecast financial position. Beacon Economics presented its Central Coast Economic Forecast on November 2, 2018 which included positive overall trends for the County of San Luis Obispo as the overall economy of California continues to grow. Additionally, a major feature in the City’s Financial Plan process is reliance upon clear polices. In looking at cities across the nation that have reputations for being financially well-managed and have maintained their fiscal health through good times and bad, one finds that they have in common clearly articulated fiscal policies used in financial decision-making. This report Packet Pg. 602 Major City Goals represent the most important, highest priority goals for the City to accomplish over the next two years, and as such, resources should be included in the 2019-21 Financial Plan.   highlights two new policies adopted in the 2018-19 Budget Supplement that will also be included as part of the 2019-21 Financial Plan. DISCUSSION Two-Year Financial Plan Process For over thirty years, the City has used a two-year financial planning process to create its budgets. The benefits of budgeting based on a two-year plan include: 1. Reinforcing the importance of long-range planning in managing the City's fiscal affairs. 2. Concentrating on developing and budgeting to accomplish significant objectives. 3. Establishing realistic timeframes for achieving objectives. 4. Creating a pro-active budget that provides for stable operations and assures the City's long-term fiscal health. 5. Reducing the amount of time and resources allocated to preparing annual budgets. The fundamental purpose of the City’s budget process is to link, through public engagement and strategic deliberation, the interest of the community to the available financial resources to achieve the desired outcome. The process allows the City Council to engage the community in identifying Major City Goals for the City while also providing information regarding the City’s core services, including the day-to-day work and responsibilities carried out by City employees to support residents’ quality of life. 2019-21 Goal-Setting Process There are a variety of possibilities to provide input to the City Council to enable them to establish Major City Goals with the community’s interest in mind. These opportunities are highlighted on the following chart: Packet Pg. 603 Many of these efforts are already under way. For example, City Advisory Bodies have developed recommended goals, the Community Priorities Survey (Attachment C) has been mailed out and was posted on-line at www.slocity.org/opencityhall, and the Council has held the November 13 “Setting the Stage” workshop. Notice has also been sent to over 200 community groups and individuals inviting their input and participation (Attachment B). The two principal elements of the City’s goal setting process still to come are the Community Forum, to be held on Wednesday, January 23, 2019, at 5:00 PM at the Veterans Hall on Grand Avenue, and the Council Goal-Setting Workshop to be held all day on Monday, February 4, 2019 in City Hall’s Council Chamber. Staff plans to build on past successes in integrating Council goal-setting into the budget process including the integration of proposed uses for the City’s local half-percent sales tax. 1. Community Forum The Community Forum, scheduled on January 23, 2019, is intended to solicit suggestions from residents, community groups stakeholders and interested individuals on City goals. It is also intended to meet the requirements regarding the City’s half-percent local sales tax, by providing an opportunity for the Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission (REOC) to “review and discuss the use of the revenue generated by the Local Revenue Measure.” As such, the Community Forum will be a joint meeting of both the City Council and REOC. Due to the significant attendance at previous Community Forums, this year’s forum will be held at the Veteran’s Hall on Grand Avenue. Packet Pg. 604 The proposed agenda for the Community Forum is included in Attachment A. This Community Forum will build on best practices from prior years as well as implement several changes based on feedback. Those changes include: 1. Incorporation of a workshop format which will allow for more interaction and conversation with staff and the public. Public comment will be included for those that wish to address the Council and REOC directly and elaborate on an idea or concept. 2. The use of stations to build on input already received through the survey including existing Major City Goals. This will allow community members to provide more specific feedback and ideas on what could be included future workplans. There will also be a station for new Major City Goal ideas. 3. A dot exercise that will allow community members to prioritize potential Major City Goals. 4. An opportunity to prioritize project and services categories for Local Revenue Measure funding. 5. Opportunities to learn more about the City’s core services, Fiscal Health Response Plan and other topics. The proposed changes are intended to broaden the ways in which the public can provide feedback, provide additional focus on core services and current Major City Goals and build on input already received through the survey. 2. Council Assignment Based on all the feedback and input received, Council Members are asked to prepare and submit up to seven candidate goals as Major City Goals by 9:00 a.m. on Friday, January 25, 2019 for consideration during the February 4, 2019, Goal Setting Workshop (Attachment D). Council Members are also asked to prepare and submit suggestions for changes in current programs and services that might help fund their desired goals. Staff will compile verbatim, compose lists, organized by common topics, without identifying who submitted the particular statements, for review and consideration before the workshop. This list will be distributed to all Council Members and made available to the community at the close of business on Friday, February 1, 2019. While staff will retain individual submissions in the working files, it is recommended that Council members refrain from releasing their personal lists so that each Council member can review all of the submissions and discuss them at the Goal-Setting Workshop before taking a position. 3. Council Goal-Setting Workshop At the February 4, 2019, workshop, the Council will review the consolidated goals presented by Council Members to ensure clarity, completeness and understanding; and then narrow the list to finalist goals that are supported by a majority of Council Members. Packet Pg. 605 While the Council proceeds with the discussion outlined above, staff will prepare a final listing that the Council can use in prioritizing goals. In years past, the Council has used a ranking system of 0 through 5 for each candidate goal and staff recommends continuing its use for 2019- 21, summarized as follows: 5 - most important, highest priorities for City to achieve over the next two years. 4 - very important goal to achieve. 3 - important goal to achieve. 2 - address if resources are available. 1 - defer to 2021-23 for consideration. 0 - not a priority goal. The number of points used for ranking is typically figured out through discussion on the day of the workshop. Based on experience, it is likely that two priority “tiers” will emerge from this process: 1. Major City Goals. These represent the most important, highest priority goals for the City to accomplish over the next two years, and as such, resources to accomplish them should be included in the 2019-21 Financial Plan. The initial list of Major City Goals following the ranking will include only those goals where a majority of Council Members rank the goal as a 4 or 5. Subsequent discussion will allow the Council to refine the goal list, however, the list should remain consistent with the “Criteria for Major City Goals” (Attachment G). 2. Other Important Objectives. Goals in this category are important for the City to accomplish, and resources should be made available in the 2019-21 Financial Plan if possible. The outline for the Goal Setting Workshop is provided in Attachment E; and suggested guidelines for Council Members during the goal-setting process are provided in Attachment F. Included as Attachment G are the suggested “Criteria for Major City Goals” which have been used by the Council for many years. These criteria capture the relevant considerations to determine a Major City Goal, but the Council could refine the criteria at this time if desired. No follow-up meeting has been needed in the last several goal-setting sessions as the Council concluded all necessary actions at the Goal-Setting Workshop. Continued consideration of goals for 2019-21 can be scheduled for the next regular Council meeting following the workshop if needed. Packet Pg. 606 Local Revenue Measure Priorities  Open Space Preservation  Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements  Traffic Congestion Relief/Safety Improvements  Public Safety  Neighborhood Street Paving  Code Enforcement  Flood Protection  Parks and Recreation/Senior Programs and Facilities  Other Vital Services and Capital Projects 4. Local Revenue Measure As previously mentioned, the Community Forum will also be the Annual Citizens’ Oversight Meeting for the Local Revenue Measure. This allows for integration of the Local Revenue Measure into the City's budget and goal-setting process. The estimated revenue and proposed use of funds generated by the Local Revenue Measure shall be an integral part of the City's budget and goal- setting process, and significant opportunities will be provided for meaningful participation by citizens in determining priority uses of these funds. It is important to know that the Local Revenue Measure is a general-purpose measure, and the proceeds are not restricted to specific purposes. However, the language on the ballot measure approved by voters in 2014 provides the types of uses that would be funded. The language on the ballot was: “To protect and maintain essential services and facilities – such as open space preservation; bike lanes and sidewalks; public safety; neighborhood street paving and code enforcement; flood protection; senior programs; and other vital services and capital improvement projects – shall the City’s Municipal Code be amended to extend the current one-half percent local sales tax for eight years, with independent annual audits, public goal-setting and budgeting, and a Citizens’ Oversight Commission?” While the ballot language provided examples of the types of uses that could be funded - based on community input received before placing the measure on the ballot – the Local Revenue Measure is a general-purpose tax providing Council with flexibility to respond to new circumstances and challenges. For 2017-18, total expenditures were $7.2 million and an additional $5,618,008 in funding was carried over for several projects (many of which are now under construction). The Revenue Oversight Committee will hold a meeting on December 6, 2018 and reviewed a preliminary 2017-18 year-end financial report in detail. These are still the unaudited results. The final information will be included in the Certified Annual Financial Report, which will be published before the end of the calendar year. ECONOMIC FORECAST On November 2, 2018, the annual Central Coast Economic Forecast presented national, state, and countywide economic trends. The information, together with the audited financials and internal analysis will provide the basis for the City’s own five-year fiscal forecast which will be presented to Council with the mid-year report on February 5, 2019. Overall, the outlook for San Luis Obispo is stable for now and into 2019, but all signs point to a slowdown into 2020. Packet Pg. 607 Employment: Employment growth slowed from 2017 levels, but still shows growth in non-farm jobs. These sustained gains in payroll jobs have helped drive the unemployment rate down to 2.8%, the lowest in nearly two decades. Natural Resources and Construction added the most jobs and nearly one third of non-farm jobs gains. In San Luis Obispo, 1,350 jobs were added in 2017. However, total non-farm employment is likely to increase less than 2% for all of 2018, and growth will slow further beyond 2018. Mounting labor shortages and affordability remain key challenges that will only worsen in the coming years. Sales Tax: Overall, sales tax revenue increased modestly from the first half of 2017 to the first half of 2018. The main force behind the slowdown in consumer and business spending was a decrease in business-to-business spending which fell significantly during that time. Although it is expected that taxable sales continue to grow into 2019, it will be more modest in San Luis Obispo as population growth lags behind other parts of California. As such, San Luis Obispo will rely on continued growth in business activity and tourism. Tourism: Tourism and hospitality are becoming a bigger part of the economy in San Luis Obispo as is seen with the County airport reaching two years of record-breaking passenger levels, making it the fifth-fastest growing airport in the nation. However, income from transient occupancy tax is expected to grow only 2.2% in San Luis Obispo; slightly above the countywide increase of 1.6%. Spending by tourists remains strong as is evident in an increase in hospitality employment and the continued increase in spending at restaurants. Real Estate: The housing market has begun to show signs of slowing and housing inventory remains tight. Though price appreciation continues, it is at a smaller percentage gain compared to recent years. Sales are little changed from a year ago, but the median number of days on the market has increased significantly. In San Luis Obispo, the median house price has increased by 6.7%, but single-family home sales dropped by 9.5%. Construction Activity: Though development permitting activities have been disappointing in the county overall, it remains strong in the City of San Luis Obispo. Year-to-date permit numbers for single-family residences as well as multi-family building are up significantly. There is also noticeable commercial real estate construction either under way or in various permitting stages. Development revenue continues to be strong as planning and building activity continues into 2019. Overall, the economic forecast indicates modest growth relative to the local economy and should be beneficial for the City’s revenue projections into 2019. However, as mentioned above, the possibly of an economic slow-down sometime in the near future is likely. Short term interest rates have climbed over the past year flattening the Treasury yield curve. An increase in interest rates translates into increase loan rates for consumers making purchases on credit. This could lead to a possible slowdown in home sales as mortgage payments increase as well as in overall consumer confidence and spending. Additionally, along with its regional partners, the City continues to address the closure of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant and prepare for the impacts to the region due to significant loss of Packet Pg. 608 jobs and property taxes. On September 19, 2018, Governor Brown signed SB 1090, directing the CPUC to approve the $85 million economic mitigation settlement and PG&E’s full $350 million proposed employee retention and retraining program. The City enters the 2019-21 Financial Planning period in a stable economic condition, but will face challenges and economic uncertainty. As a result, the City has positioned itself to address these challenges with the adoption and implementation of the Fiscal Health Response Plan adopted on April 17, 2018. The City is committed to maintaining quality core services for the community and will be asking for the community’s priorities throughout the goal setting process as described in this report. The City continues to have substantial advantages compared with many communities in California due to the following: 1. A balanced budget and reserves above minimum policy levels; 2. Dedication to fiscal responsibility; 3. Strong financial systems, policies and procedures; 4. Commitment to transparency and principles of engagement; 5. Strong Council leadership; 6. Citizens who care deeply about the City’s quality of life and services; 7. Staff committed, dedicated and passionate about achieving the City’s mission and serving the community; and 8. A great tradition of responsible stewardship. The civic infrastructure will serve San Luis Obispo well in successfully meeting challenges ahead. 2019-21 FINANCIAL PLAN POLICIES As noted in the discussion above, Council goal-setting is an important “first step” in the City’s Financial Plan process. The second major feature in the City’s Financial Plan process is reliance upon clear polices. In looking at cities across the nation that have reputations for being financially well-managed and have maintained their fiscal health through good times and bad, one finds that they have in common clearly articulated fiscal policies for financial decision- making. This best practice, as implemented by the City of San Luis Obispo, has been acknowledged repeatedly by the bond rating agencies as an important factor in sustaining the City’s excellent credit rating. Formal statements of key budget and fiscal policies provide the foundation for assuring long- term fiscal health by establishing a clear framework for effective and prudent financial decision- making. The City’s Budget and Fiscal Policies are traditionally set forth in the reference section of the Financial Plan. The policies cover a broad range of fiscal topics, including:  Financial Plan organization  General Revenue Management  User Fee Cost Recovery Goals  Enterprise Fund Fees and Rates Packet Pg. 609  Revenue Distribution  Investments  Appropriations Limitation  Fund Balances and Reserves  Capital Improvement Management  Capital Financing and Debt Management  Human Resource Management  Productivity  Contracting for Services At the outset of each financial planning cycle, the City reviews the policies in place to see if any updates are necessary. Changes are generally intended to create consistency amongst City fiscal policies and create a system that is efficient and effective to administer. As staff begins preparing the 2019-21 Financial Plan, other additions or revisions to the City’s current budget and fiscal policies may arise; if so, these will be presented for Council consideration at that time. The most recent additions were two policy additions adopted by the City Council with the 2018- 19 Budget Supplement. 1. General Fund Revenue Stabilization Fund. The City will maintain a reserve for the purposes of offsetting unanticipated fluctuations in general fund revenues to provide financial stability. The funding target for the Revenue Stabilization Reserve will be $1,000,000 during the term of the adopted Fiscal Health Response Plan. Use and allocations of funds of the Revenue Stabilization Fund will be made upon Council approvals of the Financial Plan or as becomes necessary during any fiscal year. 2. Capital Projects Reserve Fund. The City will maintain a reserve for the purposes of offsetting unanticipated cost increases, unforeseen conditions, and urgent unanticipated projects to provide continued investment in infrastructure maintenance and enhancement. Use and allocations of funds from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund will be made to Capital Projects including Fleet, Information Technology, and Major Facility Replacement upon Council approvals of the Financial Plan or as necessary during any fiscal year. The General Fund Revenue Stabilization Fund has been accounted for in the financial forecast at $1,000,000. Staff plans on returning to Council with a recommendation regarding a Section 115 Trust fund with the mid-year report on February 5, 2019. The recommendation will include the release of a request for proposal to review the available options in the market. Packet Pg. 610 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP STATUS) As part of the budget process, the City reviews its capital improvement plan and the maintenance of its assets. Attachment J provide the Council with a summary of the status of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects. As discussed in greater detail within the attachment, the City is making excellent progress in achieving its current CIP goals. Of the 97 active projects in the 2017-19 Financial Plan period: 1. 20 are complete, 2. 29 will be complete within 6 months, 3. 21 will be complete within 12 months, 4. 27 are longer term and projected to be completed beyond a 12-month period. In preparation of the goal-setting process for the 2019-21 Financial Plan, it is important to understand the status of current status of the CIP projects, as well as the long-term need of the City’s assets (Attachment K). LONG TERM CIP AND FUNDING THE FUTURE As Council is aware, in 2018, as an element of the Fiscal Sustainability Major City Goal, staff analyzed long-term capital needs and explored potential funding scenarios. Council discussed this issue at several meetings in early 2018. In April, Council directed staff to continue to explore funding options and time frames for potential future ballot measures. Council also requested staff to pursue additional public engagement and project refinement. Below is a summary of the conclusions of the analysis to date relative to Funding the Future of SLO: 1. The City’s Capital needs can be categorized into 1) Maintenance of Existing Assets, 2) Replacement of Existing Assets, and 3) New Assets. 2. Current funding, primarily through the Local Revenue Measure (Measure G) and 2017 Road Repair and Accountability Act funds, can fund most of the identified needs in the first category, Maintenance of Existing Assets. 3. The second and third categories, Replacement of Existing Assets and New Assets, are primarily unfunded, to the extent that funding for Maintenance of Existing Assets is prioritized. The City could choose to fund projects in the Rehabilitation and New project categories, the tradeoff would be deterioration of existing City assets. 4. As a result of extensive review of approved City planning documents, the General Plan, and Area Specific Plans, the total General Fund allocation for Replacement of Existing Assets and New Assets is approximately $400 M. 5. That amount of funding is currently not available, again, assuming priority allocation to Maintenance of Existing Assets. 6. The projects identified as necessary by various planning documents, over the next 30 years, is currently referred to as ‘Funding the Future of SLO’ 7. That General Fund allocation for projects within the AB 1600 Capital Facilities Fee Program was increased by Council decision to provide credits and incentives for other important City goals, specifically, the provision of affordable housing stock in the City. 8. The General Fund allocation could also increase pending actual receipt of the regional funds Packet Pg. 611 assumed for regional AB 1600 projects. 9. The Council determined a property tax increase was not a feasible funding mechanism for Funding the Future of SLO. 10. Council asked staff do additional project analysis, public outreach, and considerations for funding options for their future Council discussion., At the February 4th Council meeting, staff will present information regarding proposed next steps for the Funding the Future of SLO proposal. As part of the Budget Foundation discussion, staff is presenting the City’s Long-Range Capital Program (Attachment K). This program is presented to Council as part of the Goal Setting Process in order to present Council with the long-range context of capital needs. In past years, the Long-Range Capital Program was presented without a proposed strategy to address those needs. Funding the Future of SLO represents a proposal to address the long-term General Fund obligations for the city’s capital needs. Regarding both the Long-Range Capital Project list, and the list of projects for Funding the Future of SLO; it is important to remember some individual project costs will be modified in the future. Some projects are still be refined relative to costs for property acquisition, staffing and delivery, and other issues. In addition, the Facilities Master Plan (due at Council in early 2019), Parks and Recreation Master Plan (still in process), and the ADA Transition Plan are pending final adoption. It is important, however, to understand the difference between the Long-Range Capital Program and the projects within Funding the Future of SLO. The chart below is a visual representation of the differences. Essentially, the characteristics of the two lists are: Long Range Capital Program Funding the Future of SLO Includes all projects for all funds, including Enterprise Fund needs Includes all projects which have any General Fund obligation Includes Ideal funding levels of Annual Asset Maintenance Does not include any Annual asset maintenance projects under the assumption they are funded – not at Ideal level in the Long-Range Plan, but at levels to provide public safety and improved quality of life Time frame – current to beyond 2040 Time frame – current to 2040 Total need is $995 million – all funds Total need is approx. $400 million – General Fund only Packet Pg. 612 CONCURRENCES The City’s internal Financial Plan Steering Committee and the Department Head Team concurs with the recommendations included in this report. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT This Financial Plan development process involves significant public engagement and outreach as described above. The approach will follow the collaborate model from the City’s Public Engagement and Noticing Manual which involves interactive processes and partnering with the public to develop ideas and identify priorities using a variety of the tools available to the City. POLICY CONTEXT FOR FINANCIAL PLAN The City’s budget polices address a multitude of areas that govern the production of the two- financial plan and the annual budget. In addition to the Council adopted policies, several other codes dictate the need for the budget process. California State Law Though there is no explicit requirement in state law for a California city to adopt a budget, there are many laws that make the budget procedures essential for every city. 1. A city may not spend public funds without the legal authorization to do so. Among other things, a budget appropriates public funds, thereby providing the legal authorization from the governing body to expend these funds. 2. Like other California public agencies, each city must annually establish its appropriations limit pertaining to the proceeds from taxes in compliance with Article XIIIB of the California Packet Pg. 613 Constitution and California Government Code Sec. 7910. The City of San Luis Obispo uses the annual budget to establish its appropriations limit. 3. The California Constitution (Section 18 of Article XVI) states that no city or county may incur any debt or liability in any year that exceeds the income and revenue anticipated for that year without two-thirds voter approval. By determine the anticipated income and revenue, the budget process verifies these thresholds. 4. California Government Code Sec. 53901 requires each local agency to file its budget with the county auditor within 60 days after the beginning of its fiscal year. 5. In order to qualify to receive federal funds, a local agency must comply with the federal single audit act and must retain a certified public accountant to prepare an annual audit of its financial records. This compliance will be very difficult without an adopted budget. City Charter Article VIII of the City’s Charter contains the requirements for the fiscal administration for the City. The following sections provide guidance regarding the budget: 801. Fiscal Year – determines the City’s fiscal year from July through June. 802. Annual Budget – determines the mandate of the City Manager to bring forth an annual estimate of income and expenditures. 803. Public Hearing – sets forth the requirement for a public hearing to adopt the annual budget. 804. Adoption of Budget – requires the Council to adopt the budget after necessary revisions after input from the public hearing. City Budget and Fiscal Polices The City’s adopted fiscal policies set forth the purpose of the Financial Plan. They determine under section: A. The Financial Plan Objectives B. The two-year budget C. Measurable objectives D. The Second-Year budget E. Operating Carryover F. Goal Status Reports G. Mid-Year budget reviews Additionally, under long-term financial planning, the policies stipulate the requirement for a balanced budget and the addressing of long-term liabilities and the maintenance of infrastructure. They also outline the requirements for annual and interim reporting and the City’s budget administration in accordance with the City Charter. Packet Pg. 614 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15278. FISCAL IMPACT Budgeted: N/A Budget Year: Funding Identified: Fiscal Analysis: Funding Sources Current FY Cost Annualized On-going Cost Total Project Cost General Fund State Federal Fees Other: Total There is no fiscal impact associated with the conduct of the City’s two-year financial planning process. The City budgets for all of the planned activities that are part of this process. Preparing budgets are one of the core government functions that the City is responsible for carrying out. ALTERNATIVE Modify the proposed Goal Setting activities. The Council could direct staff to pursue a different process for goal-setting this year. Staff does not recommend this alternative because there is value in conducting a similar process that residents are familiar with. If the Council is interested in making changes, staff recommends that they be incremental adjustments to the activities planned. If major changes are desired, they should be discussed and planned during the first year of the next financial plan.

Every two years, the City establishes the top priorities that will make San Luis Obispo a better place to live, work, and play. The City Council then matches the resources necessary to achieve these priorities through adopting the budget in June. The adopted budget sets the City’s course of action for the next two years and helps the City to continue to provide high-quality services that maintain an excellent quality of life for the community. 2017-19 City goals were identified as housing, multi-modal transportation, climate action, and fiscal sustainability and responsibility. Downtown vitality was identified as an other important objective. This year, the City implemented the Fiscal Health Response Plan (FHRP) to address significant financial challenges due to increased pension costs. Continuing this progress toward long-term fiscal health, the 2019-21 Financial Plan will emphasize maintaining existing City infrastructure, providing core services, and advancing FHRP objectives (employee concessions, new ways of doing business, operating reductions and new revenues). Given this, it is critical to have an effective process for setting the most important, highest priority things for the City to accomplish in the next two years. Community members can help by completing an online survey at www.slocity.org/opencityhall by Sunday, December 16. Surveys will also be mailed in November utilities bills, will be available at City Hall and at the Senior Center. They can also attend a community forum on Wednesday, January 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the SLO Vet’s Hall, 801 Grand Avenue. At the forum the community will have an opportunity to present ideas to council and discuss them with other members of the public. City staff will compile community feedback for council to review in advance of its goal-setting workshop on February 7. During the workshop, council will officially set the goals for the next two years. The financial plan will be adopted in June. ### Packet Pg. 628 What are the most importantpriorities for the City in 2019-21?

Every two years, the City establishes the top priorities that will make San Luis Obispo a better place to live, work, and plan, which help drive the budget that staff prepares for council to approve in June. x 2017-19 City goals were identified as housing, multi-modal transportation, climate action, and fiscal sustainability and responsibility. Downtown vitality was identified as an “Other Important Objective.” x The Fiscal Health Response Plan (FHRP) addresses significant financial challenges due to increased pension costs and the 2019-21 Financial Plan will emphasize: o Maintaining existing City infrastructure o Providing core services o Advancing FHRP objectives: o Employee concessions, new ways of doing business, operating reductions and new revenues. 1. Encourage advisory boards, community groups and citizens to submit written comments about desired goals. 2. Invite citizens to participate in Community Forum and to listen and learn from their neighbors. In 2017-19, the City saw record participation (300% increase) in the goal setting process and hopes for even more community members to participate this year. 3. Receive comments from community and acknowledge their input without prematurely expressing your point of view. 4. Assure the community that you are willing to listen openly to all perspectives. 5. Focus your submission of suggested goals on a short list of key priorities to target City resources (not to exceed seven candidate goals for consideration). Packet Pg. 634 6. Avoid publicizing your submission of suggested goals. Let staff compile your submissions verbatim into a composite list of goals by category without identification of who made each suggestion. This enables you to see the whole picture. 7. Give yourself flexibility by not publicly taking positions in advance of the February 4, 2019 Council Goal-Setting Workshop. 8. Use this process as a way to learn from citizens and Council colleagues about what’s important. 9. Explore areas where the Council can come together for positive action. 10. Recognize that this is an important step, but only the first step, in the planning and budgeting for the next two years. Packet Pg. 635 ATTACHMENT G Criteria for Major City Goals 1.

Packet Pg. 636 Section H.2 Background Materials BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Packet Pg. 637 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES FINANCIAL PLAN PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION A. Financial Plan Objectives. Through its Financial Plan, the City will link resources with results by: 1. Identifying community needs for essential services. 2. Organizing the programs required to provide these essential services. 3. Establishing program policies and goals, which define the nature and level of program services required. 4. Identifying activities performed in delivering program services. 5. Proposing objectives for improving the delivery of program services. 6. Identifying and appropriating the resources required to perform program activities and accomplish program objectives. 7. Setting standards to measure and evaluate the: a. Output of program activities. b. Accomplishment of program objectives. c. Expenditure of program appropriations. B. Two-Year Budget. Following the City's favorable experience, the City will continue using a two-year financial plan, emphasizing long-range planning and effective program management. The benefits identified when the City's first two-year plan was prepared for 1983-85 continue to be realized: 1. Reinforcing the importance of long-range planning in managing the City's fiscal affairs. 2. Concentrating on developing and budgeting for the accomplishment of significant objectives. 3. Establishing realistic timeframes for achieving objectives. 4. Creating a pro-active budget that provides for stable operations and assures the City's long-term fiscal health. 5. Promoting more orderly spending patterns. 6. Reducing the amount of time and resources allocated to preparing annual budgets. C. Measurable Objectives. The two-year financial plan will establish measurable program objectives and allow reasonable time to accomplish those objectives. D. Second Year Budget. Before the beginning of the second year of the two-year cycle, the Council will review progress during the first year and approve appropriations for the second fiscal year. E. Operating Carryover. Operating program appropriations not spent during the first fiscal year may be carried over for specific purposes into the second fiscal year with the approval of the City Manager. F. Goal Status Reports. The status of major program objectives will be formally reported to the Council on an ongoing, periodic basis. G. Mid-Year Budget Reviews. The Council will formally review the City’s fiscal condition, and amend appropriations if necessary, six months after the beginning of each fiscal year.

The City will maintain a balanced budget over the two-year period of the Financial Plan. This means that: 1. Operating revenues must fully cover operating expenditures, including debt service. 2. Ending fund balance (or working capital in the enterprise funds) must meet minimum policy levels. For the general and enterprise funds, this level has been established at 20% of operating expenditures. Under this policy, it is allowable for total expenditures to exceed revenues in a given year; however, in this situation, beginning fund balance can only be used to fund capital improvement plan projects, or other “one- time,” non-recurring expenditures. B. Long-Term Liabilities and Maintenance of Infrastructure. The City will give priority to applying unassigned fund-balance due to one-time expenditure savings or one-time increase in revenue to pay down long-term unfunded liabilities and invest in infrastructure and equipment. In applying unassigned fund balances to pay down long- term unfunded liabilities a two-part strategy will be used to address the liability to the greatest extent possible. One, annual payments to CalPERS for unfunded liabilities will address interest and principal. Two, analysis of a Section 115 Trust as mechanism to address future pension obligations and uncertainties will continue and a recommendation about formation of the same will be made during the term of the adopted Fiscal Health Response Plan. FINANCIAL REPORTING AND BUDGET ADMINISTRATION A. Annual Reporting. The City will prepare annual financial statements as follows: 1. In accordance with Charter requirements, the City will contract for an annual audit by a qualified independent certified public accountant. The City will strive for an unqualified auditors’ opinion. 2. The City will use generally accepted accounting principles in preparing its annual financial statements, and will strive to meet the requirements of the GFOA’s Award for Excellence in Financial Reporting program. 3. The City will issue audited financial statements within 180 days after year-end. B. Interim Reporting. The City will prepare and issue timely interim reports on the City’s fiscal status to the Council and staff. This includes: on-line access to the City’s financial management system by City staff; monthly reports to program managers; more formal quarterly reports to the Council and Department Heads; mid-year budget reviews; and interim annual reports. C. Budget Administration. As set forth in the City Charter, the Council may amend or supplement the budget at any time after its adoption by majority vote of the Council members. The City Manager has the authority to make administrative adjustments to the budget as long as those changes will not have a significant policy impact nor affect budgeted year-end fund balances. Packet Pg. 639 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES D. Development Services Revenue. The City Manager may allocate or designate 75% of over-realized Development Services revenues exceeding adopted budget for the current fiscal year for temporary Development Services expenditures for the purpose of timely processing of development permit applications in the current fiscal year or throughout life of applicable projects. Any and all City Manager authorized allocations and funds set aside in a designation for future use, shall be reported to the Council on a semi-annual basis. GENERAL REVENUE MANAGEMENT A. Diversified and Stable Base. The City will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to protect it from short-term fluctuations in any one revenue source. B. Long-Range Focus. To emphasize and facilitate long-range financial planning, the City will maintain current projections of revenues for the succeeding five years. C. Current Revenues for Current Uses. The City will make all current expenditures with current revenues, avoiding procedures that balance current budgets by postponing needed expenditures, accruing future revenues, or rolling over short-term debt. D. Interfund Transfers and Loans. In order to achieve important public policy goals, the City has established various special revenue, capital project, debt service and enterprise funds to account for revenues whose use should be restricted to certain activities. Accordingly, each fund exists as a separate financing entity from other funds, with its own revenue sources, expenditures and fund equity. Any transfers between funds for operating purposes are clearly set forth in the Financial Plan, and can only be made by the Finance Director in accordance with the adopted budget. These operating transfers, under which financial resources are transferred from one fund to another, are distinctly different from interfund borrowings, which are usually made for temporary cash flow reasons, and are not intended to result in a transfer of financial resources by the end of the fiscal year. In summary, interfund transfers result in a change in fund equity; interfund borrowings do not, as the intent is to repay the loan in the near term. From time-to-time, interfund borrowings may be appropriate; however, these are subject to the following criteria in ensuring that the fiduciary purpose of the fund is met: 1. The Finance Director is authorized to approve temporary interfund borrowings for cash flow purposes whenever the cash shortfall is expected to be resolved within 45 days. The most common use of interfund borrowing under this circumstance is for grant programs like the Community Development Block Grant, where costs are incurred before drawdowns are initiated and received. However, receipt of funds is typically received shortly after the request for funds has been made. 2. Any other interfund borrowings for cash flow or other purposes require case-by-case approval by the Council. 3. Any transfers between funds where reimbursement is not expected within one fiscal year shall not be recorded as interfund borrowings; they shall be recorded as interfund operating transfers that affect equity by moving financial resources from one fund to another. Packet Pg. 640 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES USER FEE COST RECOVERY GOALS A. Ongoing Review Fees will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis to ensure that they keep pace with changes in the cost- of-living as well as changes in methods or levels of service delivery. In implementing this goal, a comprehensive analysis of City costs and fees should be made at least every five years. In the interim, fees will be adjusted by annual changes in the Consumer Price Index. Fees may be adjusted during this interim period based on supplemental analysis whenever there have been significant changes in the method, level or cost of service delivery. B. User Fee Cost Recovery Levels In setting user fees and cost recovery levels, the following factors will be considered: 1. Community-Wide Versus Special Benefit. The level of user fee cost recovery should consider the community-wide versus special service nature of the program or activity. The use of general-purpose revenues is appropriate for community-wide services, while user fees are appropriate for services that are of special benefit to easily identified individuals or groups. 2. Service Recipient Versus Service Driver. After considering community-wide versus special benefit of the service, the concept of service recipient versus service driver should also be considered. For example, it could be argued that the applicant is not the beneficiary of the City's development review efforts: the community is the primary beneficiary. However, the applicant is the driver of development review costs, and as such, cost recovery from the applicant is appropriate. 3. Effect of Pricing on the Demand for Services. The level of cost recovery and related pricing of services can significantly affect the demand and subsequent level of services provided. At full cost recovery, this has the specific advantage of ensuring that the City is providing services for which there is genuinely a market that is not overly-stimulated by artificially low prices. Conversely, high levels of cost recovery will negatively impact the delivery of services to lower income groups. This negative feature is especially pronounced, and works against public policy, if the services are specifically targeted to low income groups. 4. Feasibility of Collection and Recovery. Although it may be determined that a high level of cost recovery may be appropriate for specific services, it may be impractical or too costly to establish a system to identify and charge the user. Accordingly, the feasibility of assessing and collecting charges should also be considered in developing user fees, especially if significant program costs are intended to be financed from that source. C. Factors Favoring Low Cost Recovery Levels Very low cost recovery levels are appropriate under the following circumstances: 1. There is no intended relationship between the amount paid and the benefit received. Almost all "social service" programs fall into this category as it is expected that one group will subsidize another. 2. Collecting fees is not cost-effective or will significantly impact the efficient delivery of the service. Packet Pg. 641 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 3. There is no intent to limit the use of (or entitlement to) the service. Again, most "social service" programs fit into this category as well as many public safety (police and fire) emergency response services. Historically, access to neighborhood and community parks would also fit into this category. 4. The service is non-recurring, generally delivered on a "peak demand" or emergency basis, cannot reasonably be planned for on an individual basis, and is not readily available from a private sector source. Many public safety services also fall into this category. 5. Collecting fees would discourage compliance with regulatory requirements and adherence is primarily self- identified, and as such, failure to comply would not be readily detected by the City. Many small-scale licenses and permits might fall into this category. D. Factors Favoring High Cost Recovery Levels The use of service charges as a major source of funding service levels is especially appropriate under the following circumstances: 1. The service is similar to services provided through the private sector. 2. Other private or public sector alternatives could or do exist for the delivery of the service. 3. For equity or demand management purposes, it is intended that there be a direct relationship between the amount paid and the level and cost of the service received. 4. The use of the service is specifically discouraged. Police responses to disturbances or false alarms might fall into this category. 5. The service is regulatory in nature and voluntary compliance is not expected to be the primary method of detecting failure to meet regulatory requirements. Building permit, plan checks, and subdivision review fees for large projects would fall into this category. E. General Concepts Regarding the Use of Service Charges The following general concepts will be used in developing and implementing service charges: 1. Revenues should not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service. 2. Cost recovery goals should be based on the total cost of delivering the service, including direct costs, departmental administration costs and organization-wide support costs such as accounting, personnel, information technology, legal services, fleet maintenance and insurance. 3. The method of assessing and collecting fees should be as simple as possible in order to reduce the administrative cost of collection. 4. Rate structures should be sensitive to the "market" for similar services as well as to smaller, infrequent users of the service. 5. A unified approach should be used in determining cost recovery levels for various programs based on the factors discussed above. Packet Pg. 642 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES F. Low Cost-Recovery Services Based on the criteria discussed above, the following types of services should have very low cost recovery goals. In selected circumstances, there may be specific activities within the broad scope of services provided that should have user charges associated with them. However, the primary source of funding for the operation as a whole should be general-purpose revenues, not user fees. 1. Delivering public safety emergency response services such as police patrol services and fire suppression. 2. Maintaining and developing public facilities that are provided on a uniform, community-wide basis such as streets, parks and general-purpose buildings. 3. Providing social service programs and economic development activities. G. Recreation Programs The following cost recovery policies apply to the City's recreation programs: 1. Cost recovery for activities directed to adults should be relatively high. 2. Cost recovery for activities directed to youth and seniors should be relatively low. In those circumstances where services are similar to those provided in the private sector, cost recovery levels should be higher. Although ability to pay may not be a concern for all youth and senior participants, these are desired program activities, and the cost of determining need may be greater than the cost of providing a uniform service fee structure to all participants. Further, there is a community-wide benefit in encouraging high-levels of participation in youth and senior recreation activities regardless of financial status. 3. Cost recovery goals for recreation activities are set as follows: High-Range Cost Recovery Activities - (60% to 100%) a. Adult athletics b. Banner permit applications c. Child care services d. Facility rentals (indoor and outdoor; excludes use of facilities for internal City uses) Mid-Range Cost Recovery Activities - (30% to 60%) e. Triathlon f. Golf g. Summer and Spring Break Camps h. Classes i. Major commercial film permit applications Low-Range Cost Recovery Activities- (0 to 30%) j. Aquatics Packet Pg. 643 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES k. Community gardens l. Junior Ranger camp m. Minor commercial film permit applications n. Skate park o. Parks and Recreation sponsored events (except for Triathlon) p. Youth sports q. Teen services r. Senior/boomer services 4. For cost recovery activities of less than 100%, there should be a differential in rates between residents and non-residents. However, the Director of Parks and Recreation is authorized to reduce or eliminate non- resident fee differentials when it can be demonstrated that: a. The fee is reducing attendance. b. And there are no appreciable expenditure savings from the reduced attendance. 5. Charges will be assessed for use of rooms, pools, gymnasiums, ball fields, special-use areas, and recreation equipment for activities not sponsored or co-sponsored by the City. Such charges will generally conform to the fee guidelines described above. However, the Director of Parks and Recreation is authorized to charge fees that are closer to full cost recovery for facilities that are heavily used at peak times and include a majority of non-resident users. 6. A vendor charge of at least 10 percent of gross income will be assessed from individuals or organizations using City facilities for moneymaking activities. 7. Director of Parks and Recreation is authorized to offer reduced fees such as introductory rates, family discounts and coupon discounts on a pilot basis (not to exceed 18 months) to promote new recreation programs or resurrect existing ones. 8. The Parks and Recreation Department will consider waiving fees only when the City Manager determines in writing that an undue hardship exists. H. Development Review Programs The following cost recovery policies apply to the development review programs: 1. Services provided under this category include: a. Planning (planned development permits, tentative tract and parcel maps, rezonings, general plan amendments, variances, use permits). b. Building and safety (building permits, structural plan checks, inspections). c. Engineering (public improvement plan checks, inspections, subdivision requirements, encroachments). d. Fire plan check. 2. Cost recovery for these services should generally be very high. In most instances, the City's cost recovery goal should be 100%. Packet Pg. 644 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 3. However, in charging high cost recovery levels, the City needs to clearly establish and articulate standards for its performance in reviewing developer applications to ensure that there is “value for cost.” I. Comparability with Other Communities In setting user fees, the City will consider fees charged by other agencies in accordance with the following criteria: 1. Surveying the comparability of the City's fees to other communities provides useful background information in setting fees for several reasons: a. They reflect the "market" for these fees and can assist in assessing the reasonableness of San Luis Obispo’s fees. b. If prudently analyzed, they can serve as a benchmark for how cost-effectively San Luis Obispo provides its services. 2. However, fee surveys should never be the sole or primary criteria in setting City fees as there are many factors that affect how and why other communities have set their fees at their levels. For example: a. What level of cost recovery is their fee intended to achieve compared with our cost recovery objectives? b. What costs have been considered in computing the fees? c. When was the last time that their fees were comprehensively evaluated? d. What level of service do they provide compared with our service or performance standards? e. Is their rate structure significantly different than ours and what is it intended to achieve? 3. These can be very difficult questions to address in fairly evaluating fees among different communities. As such, the comparability of our fees to other communities should be one factor among many that is considered in setting City fees. ENTERPRISE FUND FEES AND RATES A. Water, Sewer and Parking. The City will set fees and rates at levels which fully cover the total direct and indirect costs—including operations, capital outlay, and debt service—of the following enterprise programs: water, sewer and parking. B. Transit. Based on targets set under the Transportation Development Act, the City will strive to cover at least twenty percent of transit operating costs with fare revenues. C. Ongoing Rate Review. The City will review and adjust enterprise fees and rate structures as required to ensure that they remain appropriate and equitable. D. Cost of Service Fees. The City will treat the water and sewer fund in the same manner as if they were privately owned and operated. This means assessing reasonable cost of service fees in fully recovering services costs. Packet Pg. 645 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES The purpose of the cost of service fee is reasonable cost recovery for the use of the City’s services such as street right-of-way and public safety. The appropriateness of charging the water and sewer fund a reasonable cost of service fee for the use of the City streets is further supported by the results of studies from Arizona, California, Ohio, and Vermont which concluded that the leading cause of street resurfacing and reconstruction is street cuts and trenching for Utilities. REVENUE DISTRIBUTION The Council recognizes that generally accepted accounting principles for state and local governments discourage the “earmarking” of General Fund revenues, and accordingly, the practice of designating General Fund revenues for specific programs should be minimized in the City's management of its fiscal affairs. Approval of the following revenue distribution policies does not prevent the Council from directing General Fund resources to other functions and programs as necessary. A. Property Taxes. With the passage of Proposition 13 on June 6, 1978, California cities no longer can set their own property tax rates. In addition to limiting annual increases in market value, placing a ceiling on voter- approved indebtedness, and redefining assessed valuations, Proposition 13 established a maximum county-wide levy for general revenue purposes of 1% of market value. Under subsequent state legislation, which adopted formulas for the distribution of this countywide levy, the City now receives a percentage of total property tax revenues collected countywide as determined by the State and administered by the County Auditor-Controller. The City receives 14.9% of each dollar collected in property tax after allocations to school districts. Accordingly, while property revenues are often thought of local revenue sources, in essence they are State revenue sources, since the State controls their use and allocation. With the adoption of a Charter revision in November 1996, which removed provisions that were in conflict with Proposition 13 relating to the setting of property tax revenues between various funds, all property tax revenues are now accounted for in the General Fund. B. Gasoline Tax Subventions. All gasoline tax revenues (which are restricted by the State for street-related purposes) will be used for maintenance activities. Since the City's total expenditures for gas tax eligible programs and projects are much greater than this revenue source, operating transfers will be made from the gas tax fund to the General Fund for this purpose. This approach significantly reduces the accounting efforts required to meet State reporting requirements. C. Transportation Development Act (TDA) Revenues. All TDA revenues will be allocated to alternative transportation programs, including regional and municipal transit systems, bikeway improvements, and other programs or projects designed to reduce automobile usage. Because TDA revenues will not be allocated for street purposes, it is expected that alternative transportation programs (in conjunction with other state or federal grants for this purpose) will be self-supporting from TDA revenues. D. Parking Fines. All parking fine revenues will be allocated to the parking fund, except for those collected by Police staff (who are funded by the General Fund) in implementing neighborhood wellness programs. INVESTMENTS Packet Pg. 646 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES A. Responsibility. Investments and cash management are the responsibility of the City Treasurer or designee. It is the City’s policy to appoint the Finance Director as the City’s Treasurer. B. Investment Objective. The City's primary investment objective is to achieve a reasonable rate of return while minimizing the potential for capital losses arising from market changes or issuer default. Accordingly, the following factors will be considered in priority order in determining individual investment placements: 1. Safety 2. Liquidity 3. Yield C. Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes: Not for Investment Purposes. There is an appropriate role for tax and revenue anticipation notes (TRANS) in meeting legitimate short-term cash needs within the fiscal year. However, many agencies issue TRANS as a routine business practice, not solely for cash flow purposes, but to capitalize on the favorable difference between the interest cost of issuing TRANS as a tax-preferred security and the interest yields on them if re-invested at full market rates. As part of its cash flow management and investment strategy, the City will only issue TRANS or other forms of short-term debt if necessary to meet demonstrated cash flow needs; TRANS or any other form of short-term debt financing will not be issued for investment purposes. As long as the City maintains its current policy of maintaining fund/working capital balances that are 20% of operating expenditures, it is unlikely that the City would need to issue TRANS for cash flow purposes except in very unusual circumstances. D. Selecting Maturity Dates. The City will strive to keep all idle cash balances fully invested through daily projections of cash flow requirements. To avoid forced liquidations and losses of investment earnings, cash flow and future requirements will be the primary consideration when selecting maturities. E. Diversification. As the market and the City's investment portfolio change, care will be taken to maintain a healthy balance of investment types and maturities. F. Authorized Investments. The City will invest only in those instruments authorized by the California Government Code Section 53601. The City will not invest in stock, will not speculate and will not deal in futures or options. The investment market is highly volatile and continually offers new and creative opportunities for enhancing interest earnings. Accordingly, the City will thoroughly investigate any new investment vehicles before committing City funds to them. G. Authorized Institutions. Current financial statements will be maintained for each institution in which cash is invested. Investments will be limited to 20 percent of the total net worth of any institution and may be reduced further or refused altogether if an institution's financial situation becomes unhealthy. H. Consolidated Portfolio. In order to maximize yields from its overall portfolio, the City will consolidate cash balances from all funds for investment purposes, and will allocate investment earnings to each fund in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. I. Safekeeping. Ownership of the City's investment securities will be protected through third-party custodial safekeeping. Packet Pg. 647 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES J. Investment Management Plan. The City Treasurer will develop and maintain an Investment Management Plan that addresses the City's administration of its portfolio, including investment strategies, practices and procedures. K. Investment Oversight Committee. As set forth in the Investment Management Plan, this committee is responsible for reviewing the City’s portfolio on an ongoing basis to determine compliance with the City’s investment policies and for making recommendations to the City Treasurer (Finance Director regarding investment management practices. Members include the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Finance Director/City Treasurer, Accounting Manager, Budget Manager, the City’s independent auditor, one City Council member, and one member of the public. The member of the public shall be appointed by the City Council in accordance with the City’s process for appointing advisory body members. L. Reporting. The City Treasurer will develop and maintain a comprehensive, well-documented investment reporting system, which will comply with Government Code Section 53607. This reporting system will provide the Council and the Investment Oversight Committee with appropriate investment performance information. APPROPRIATIONS LIMITATION A. The Council will annually adopt a resolution establishing the City's appropriations limit calculated in accordance with Article XIII-B of the Constitution of the State of California, Section 7900 of the State of California Government Code, and any other voter approved amendments or state legislation that affect the City's appropriations limit. B. The supporting documentation used in calculating the City's appropriations limit and projected appropriations subject to the limit will be available for public and Council review at least 10 days before Council consideration of a resolution to adopt an appropriations limit. The Council will generally consider this resolution in connection with final approval of the budget. C. The City will strive to develop revenue sources, both new and existing, which are considered non-tax proceeds in calculating its appropriations subject to limitation. D. The City will annually review user fees and charges and report to the Council the amount of program subsidy, if any, that is being provided by the General or Enterprise Funds. E. The City will actively support legislation or initiatives sponsored or approved by League of California Cities which would modify Article XIII-B of the Constitution in a manner which would allow the City to retain projected tax revenues resulting from growth in the local economy for use as determined by the Council. F. The City will seek voter approval to amend its appropriation limit at such time that tax proceeds are in excess of allowable limits. FUND BALANCE AND RESERVES Packet Pg. 648 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES A. Minimum Fund and Working Capital Balances. The City will maintain a minimum fund balance of at least 20% of operating expenditures in the General Fund and a minimum working capital balance of 20% of operating expenditures in the water, sewer and parking enterprise funds. This is considered the minimum level necessary to maintain the City's credit worthiness and to adequately provide for: 1. Economic uncertainties, local disasters, and other financial hardships or downturns in the local or national economy. 2. Contingencies for unseen operating or capital needs. 3. Cash flow requirements. B. Fleet Replacement. For the General Fund fleet, the City will establish and maintain a Fleet Replacement Fund to provide for the timely replacement of vehicles and related equipment with an individual replacement cost of $15,000 or more. During the 2015-17 Financial Plan period, the City will establish and maintain a minimum fund balance in the Fleet Replacement Fund equal to $500,000 for the emergency replacement of vehicles that are damaged beyond repair, and are either not covered under the City’s property insurance program or the vehicle has a high replacement cost and insurance proceeds will be inadequate to provide for the vehicle’s replacement (fire engine). Above this contingency level, the amount retained in this fund, coupled with the annual contributions received by it from any source, shall be adequate to fully fund the equipment replacements approved in the Financial Plan. Interest earnings and the proceeds from the sales of surplus equipment as well as any related damage and insurance recoveries will be credited to the Fleet Replacement Fund. C. Information Technology (IT) Replacement Fund. The City will establish an IT Replacement Fund for the General Fund to provide for the timely replacement of information technology, both hardware and software, with an individual replacement cost of $25,000 or more. During the 2015-17 Financial Plan period, the City will establish and maintain a minimum fund balance in this fund equal to $400,000 for the emergency replacement of equipment that is damaged beyond repair and not covered under the City’s property insurance program. Interest earnings and the proceeds from the sale of surplus equipment as well as any related damage and insurance recoveries will be credited to the fund. D. Major Facility Replacement Fund. The City will maintain a reserve within this fund for the purpose of funding the cost of improvements having a cost of $25,000 or more to city-owned, general government building and structures. The amount retained in this fund, coupled with annual contributions received by it from any source, to adequately fund maintenance and replacement of City facilities. E. Infrastructure Investment Fund. The City will maintain a reserve within this fund for the purpose of funding infrastructure projects that contribute to improved economic development and enhanced quality of life in the City of San Luis Obispo. The following evaluation criteria shall be applied to project eligibility: 1. The use of City funds shall not offset any cost that would be expected to be paid to meet the fair share obligation of any developer. 2. The use of City funds shall not offset a project specific cost identified through the environmental review process or under existing regulations or policies. Packet Pg. 649 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 3. The use of funds shall support a project that would not otherwise be feasible due to economic, timing or other issues outside control of the project proponents or the City. 4. The project shall provide public benefit by contributing to economic development and quality of life within the City. E. Insurance Benefit Fund. The City will establish an Insurance Benefit Fund for the purposes of setting funds aside to manage the fluctuations in liability and worker’s compensation insurance programs. A reserve within the Insurance Benefit Fund for the Liability Excess Insurance Program will be maintained at approximately 75% funded confidence level based on the prior five-year average claims experience. F. Water and Sewer Rate Stabilization Reserves. The City w ill maintain a reserve for the purposes of offsetting unanticipated fluctuations in Water Fund or Sewer Fund revenues to provide financial stability, including the stability of revenues and the rates and charges related to each Enterprise. The funding target for the Rate Stabilization Reserve will be 10% of sales revenue in the Water Fund and 5% of sales revenue in the Sewer Fund. Conditions for utilization and plan for replenishment of the reserve will be brought to Council for its consideration during the preparation and approval of the Financial Plan or as may become necessary during any fiscal year. G. Future Capital Project Designations. The Council may designate specific fund balance levels for future development of capital projects that it has determined to be in the best long-term interests of the City. For example, replacement of critical information technology infrastructure or other projects. H. Other Designations and Reserves. In addition to the designations noted above, fund balance levels will be sufficient to meet funding requirements for projects approved in prior years which are carried forward into the new year; debt service reserve requirements; reserves for encumbrances; and other reserves or designations required by contractual obligations, state law, or generally accepted accounting principles. I. General Fund Revenue Stabilization Fund. The City will maintain a reserve for the purposes of offsetting unanticipated fluctuations in general fund revenues to provide financial stability. The funding target for the Revenue Stabilization Reserve will be $1,000,000 during the term of the adopted Fiscal Health Response Plan. Use and allocations of funds of the Revenue Stabilization Fund will be made upon Council approvals of the Financial Plan or as becomes necessary during any fiscal year. J. Capital Projects Reserve Fund. The City will maintain a reserve for the purposes of offsetting unanticipated cost increases, unforeseen conditions, and urgent unanticipated projects to provide continued investment in infrastructure maintenance and enhancement. Use and allocations of funds from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund will be made to Capital Projects including Fleet, Information Technology, and Major Facility Replacement upon Council approvals of the Financial Plan or as necessary during any fiscal year. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT MANAGEMENT Packet Pg. 650 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES A. CIP Projects: $25,000 or More. Construction projects and equipment purchases which cost $25,000 or more will be included in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); minor capital outlays of less than $25,000 will be included with the operating program budgets. Such projects are accounted for in the Capital Outlay Fund. B. CIP Purpose. The purpose of the CIP is to systematically plan, schedule, and finance capital projects to ensure cost-effectiveness as well as conformance with established policies. The CIP is a five-year plan organized into the same functional groupings used for the operating programs. The CIP will reflect a balance between capital replacement projects that repair, replace or enhance existing facilities, equipment or infrastructure; and capital facility projects that significantly expand or add to the City's existing fixed assets. C. Project Manager. Every CIP project will have a project manager who will prepare the project proposal, ensure that required phases are completed on schedule, authorize all project expenditures, ensure that all regulations and laws are observed, and periodically report project status. D. CIP Review Committee. Headed by the City Manager or designee, this Committee will review project proposals, determine project phasing, recommend project managers, review and evaluate the draft CIP budget document, and report CIP project progress on an ongoing basis. E. CIP Phases. The CIP will emphasize project planning, with projects progressing through at least two and up to ten of the following phases: 1. Designate. Appropriates funds based on projects designated for funding by the Council through adoption of the Financial Plan. 2. Study. Concept design, site selection, feasibility analysis, schematic design, environmental determination, property appraisals, scheduling, grant application, grant approval, specification preparation for equipment purchases. 3. Environmental Review. EIR preparation, other environmental studies. 4. Real Property Acquisitions. Property acquisition for projects, if necessary. 5. Site Preparation. Demolition, hazardous materials abatements, other pre-construction work. 6. Design. Final design, plan and specification preparation and construction cost estimation. 7. Construction. Construction contracts. 8. Construction Management. Contract project management and inspection, soils and material tests, other support services during construction. 9. Equipment Acquisitions. Vehicles, heavy machinery, computers, office furnishings, other equipment items acquired and installed independently from construction contracts. 10. Debt Service. Installment payments of principal and interest for completed projects funded through debt financings. Expenditures for this project phase are included in the Debt Service section of the Financial Plan. Generally, it will become more difficult for a project to move from one phase to the next. As such, more projects will be studied than will be designed, and more projects will be designed than will be constructed or purchased during the term of the CIP. Packet Pg. 651 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES F. CIP Appropriation. The City’s annual CIP appropriation for study, design, acquisition and/or construction is based on the projects designated by the Council through adoption of the Financial Plan. Adoption of the Financial Plan CIP appropriation does not automatically authorize funding for specific project phases. This authorization generally occurs only after the preceding project phase has been completed and approved by the Council and costs for the succeeding phases have been fully developed. Accordingly, project appropriations are generally made when contracts are awarded. If project costs at the time of bid award are less than the budgeted amount, the balance will be unappropriated and returned to fund balance or allocated to another project. If project costs at the time of bid award are greater than budget amounts, five basic options are available: 1. Eliminate the project. 2. Defer the project for consideration to the next Financial Plan period. 3. Rescope or change the phasing of the project to meet the existing budget. 4. Transfer funding from another specified, lower priority project. 5. Appropriate additional resources as necessary from fund balance. G. CIP Budget Carryover. Appropriations for CIP projects lapse three years after budget adoption. Projects which lapse from lack of project account appropriations may be resubmitted for inclusion in a subsequent CIP. Project accounts, which have been appropriated, will not lapse until completion of the project phase. H. Program Objectives. Project phases will be listed as objectives in the program narratives of the programs, which manage the projects. I. Public Art. CIP projects will be evaluated during the budget process and prior to each phase for conformance with the City's public art policy, which generally requires that 1% of eligible project construction costs be set aside for public art. Excluded from this requirement are underground projects, utility infrastructure projects, funding from outside agencies, and costs other than construction such as study, environmental review, design, site preparation, land acquisition and equipment purchases. It is generally preferred that public art be incorporated directly into the project, but this is not practical or desirable for all projects; in this case, an in-lieu contribution to public art will be made. To ensure that funds are adequately budgeted for this purpose regardless of whether public art will be directly incorporated into the project, funds for public art will be identified separately in the CIP. J. General Plan Consistency Review. The Planning Commission will review the Preliminary CIP for consistency with the General Plan and provide is findings to the Council prior to adoption. CAPITAL FINANCING AND DEBT MANAGEMENT A. Capital Financing 1. The City will consider the use of debt financing only for one-time capital improvement projects and only under the following circumstances: Packet Pg. 652 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES a. When the project’s useful life will exceed the term of the financing. b. When project revenues or specific resources will be sufficient to service the long-term debt. 2. Debt financing will not be considered appropriate for any recurring purpose such as current operating and maintenance expenditures. The issuance of short-term instruments such as revenue, tax or bond anticipation notes is excluded from this limitation. (See Investment Policy) 3. Capital improvements will be financed primarily through user fees, service charges, assessments, special taxes or developer agreements when benefits can be specifically attributed to users of the facility. Accordingly, development impact fees should be created and implemented at levels sufficient to ensure that new development pays its fair share of the cost of constructing necessary community facilities. 4. Transportation impact fees are a major funding source in financing transportation system improvements. However, revenues from these fees are subject to significant fluctuation based on the rate of new development. Accordingly, the following guidelines will be followed in designing and building projects funded with transportation impact fees: a. The availability of transportation impact fees in funding a specific project will be analyzed on a case- by-case basis as plans and specification or contract awards are submitted for City Manager or Council approval. b. If adequate funds are not available at that time, the Council will make one of two determinations: x Defer the project until funds are available. x Based on the high-priority of the project, advance funds from the General Fund, which will be reimbursed as soon as funds become available. Repayment of General Fund advances will be the first use of transportation impact fee funds when they become available. 5. The City will use the following criteria to evaluate pay-as-you-go versus long-term financing in funding capital improvements: a. Factors Favoring Pay-As-You-Go Financing 1. Current revenues and adequate fund balances are available or project phasing can be accomplished. 2. Existing debt levels adversely affect the City's credit rating. 3. Market conditions are unstable or present difficulties in marketing. b. Factors Favoring Long Term Financing 1. Revenues available for debt service are deemed sufficient and reliable so that long-term financings can be marketed with investment grade credit ratings. 2. The project securing the financing is of the type, which will support an investment grade credit rating. 3. Market conditions present favorable interest rates and demand for City financings. Packet Pg. 653 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 4. A project is mandated by state or federal requirements, and resources are insufficient or unavailable. 5. The project is immediately required to meet or relieve capacity needs and current resources are insufficient or unavailable. 6. The life of the project or asset to be financed is 10 years or longer. 7. Vehicle leasing when market conditions and operational circumstances present favorable opportunities. B. Debt Management 1. The City will not obligate the General Fund to secure long-term financings except when marketability can be significantly enhanced. 2. An internal feasibility analysis will be prepared for each long-term financing which analyzes the impact on current and future budgets for debt service and operations. This analysis will also address the reliability of revenues to support debt service. 3. The City will generally conduct financings on a competitive basis. However, negotiated financings may be used due to market volatility or the use of an unusual or complex financing or security structure. 4. The City will seek an investment grade rating (Baa/BBB or greater) on any direct debt and will seek credit enhancements such as letters of credit or insurance when necessary for marketing purposes, availability and cost-effectiveness. 5. The City will monitor all forms of debt annually coincident with the City's Financial Plan preparation and review process and report concerns and remedies, if needed, to the Council. 6. The City will diligently monitor its compliance with bond covenants and ensure its adherence to federal arbitrage regulations. 7. The City will maintain good, ongoing communications with bond rating agencies about its financial condition. The City will follow a policy of full disclosure on every financial report and bond prospectus (Official Statement). C. Debt Capacity 1. General Purpose Debt Capacity. The City will carefully monitor its levels of general-purpose debt. Because our general purpose debt capacity is limited, it is important that we only use general purpose debt financing for high-priority projects where we cannot reasonably use other financing methods for two key reasons: a. Funds borrowed for a project today are not available to fund other projects tomorrow. b. Funds committed for debt repayment today are not available to fund operations in the future. In evaluating debt capacity, general-purpose annual debt service payments should generally not exceed 10% of General Fund revenues; and in no case should they exceed 15%. Further, direct debt will not exceed 2% of assessed valuation; and no more than 60% of capital improvement outlays will be funded from long- term financings. Packet Pg. 654 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 2. Enterprise Fund Debt Capacity. The City will set enterprise fund rates at levels needed to fully cover debt service requirements as well as operations, maintenance, administration and capital improvement costs. The ability to afford new debt for enterprise operations will be evaluated as an integral part of the City’s rate review and setting process. D. Independent Disclosure Counsel The following criteria will be used on a case-by-case basis in determining whether the City should retain the services of an independent disclosure counsel in conjunction with specific project financings: 1. The City will generally not retain the services of an independent disclosure counsel when all of the following circumstances are present: a. The revenue source for repayment is under the management or control of the City, such as general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, lease-revenue bonds or certificates of participation. b. The bonds will be rated or insured. 2. The City will consider retaining the services of an independent disclosure counsel when one or more of following circumstances are present: a. The financing will be negotiated, and the underwriter has not separately engaged an underwriter’s counsel for disclosure purposes. b. The revenue source for repayment is not under the management or control of the City, such as land- based assessment districts, tax allocation bonds or conduit financings. c. The bonds will not be rated or insured. d. The City’s financial advisor, bond counsel or underwriter recommends that the City retain an independent disclosure counsel based on the circumstances of the financing. E. Land-Based Financings 1. Public Purpose. There will be a clearly articulated public purpose in forming an assessment or special tax district in financing public infrastructure improvements. This should include a finding by the Council as to why this form of financing is preferred over other funding options such as impact fees, reimbursement agreements or direct developer responsibility for the improvements. New development should generally be expected to “pay its own way,” (i.e., provide funding through one mechanism or another that funds its “proportional share” of public improvement and infrastructure costs and ongoing operations and maintenance costs). (1) The City will consider the use of city-based funding sources to fund public facility and infrastructure improvements that provide for the health, safety and welfare of existing and future residents and/or provide measurable economic development and fiscal benefits. In evaluating whether the City will use city-based funding sources, the following evaluation criteria should be considered: (a) Significant public benefit, demonstrated by compliance with and furtherance of Packet Pg. 655 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES General Plan goals, policies, and programs (b) Alignment with the Major City Goals and other important objectives in place at the time of the application (c) Head of Household Job Creation (d) Housing Creation (e) Circulation/Connectivity Improvements (f) Net General Fund fiscal impact (2) The City generally will not fund or offer public financing for infrastructure improvements that confer only private benefit to individual property owners or development projects. (3) The City shall seek continuity (or improvements to) existing levels of municipal service by assuring adequate funding for the City’s operation, maintenance and infrastructure replacement costs.” 2. Eligible Improvements. Except as otherwise determined by the Council when proceedings for district formation are commenced, preference in financing public improvements through a special tax district shall be given for those public improvements that help achieve clearly identified community facility and infrastructure goals in accordance with adopted facility and infrastructure plans as set forth in key policy documents such as the General Plan, Specific Plan, Facility or Infrastructure Master Plans, or Capital Improvement Plan. Such improvements include study, design, construction and/or acquisition of: a. Public safety facilities. b. Water supply, distribution and treatment systems. c. Waste collection and treatment systems. d. Major transportation system improvements, such as freeway interchanges; bridges; intersection improvements; construction of new or widened arterial or collector streets (including related landscaping and lighting); sidewalks and other pedestrian paths; transit facilities; and bike paths. e. Storm drainage, creek protection and flood protection improvements. f. Parks, trails, community centers and other recreational facilities. g. Open space. h. Cultural and social service facilities. i. Other governmental facilities and improvements such as offices, information technology systems and telecommunication systems. School facilities will not be financed except under appropriate joint community facilities agreements or joint exercise of powers agreements between the City and school districts. Packet Pg. 656 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 3. Active Role. Even though land-based financings may be a limited obligation of the City, we will play an active role in managing the district. This means that the City will select and retain the financing team, including the financial advisor, bond counsel, trustee, appraiser, disclosure counsel, assessment engineer and underwriter. Any costs incurred by the City in retaining these services will generally be the responsibility of the property owners or developer, and will be advanced via a deposit when an application is filed; or will be paid on a contingency fee basis from the proceeds from the bonds. 4. Credit Quality. When a developer requests a district, the City will carefully evaluate the applicant’s financial plan and ability to carry the project, including the payment of assessments and special taxes during build-out. This may include detailed background, credit and lender checks, and the preparation of independent appraisal reports and market absorption studies. For districts where one property owner accounts for more than 25% of the annual debt service obligation, a letter of credit further securing the financing may be required. 5. Reserve Fund. A reserve fund should be established in the lesser amount of: the maximum annual debt service; 125% of the annual average debt service; or 10% of the bond proceeds. 6. Value-to-Debt Ratios. The minimum value-to-debt ratio should generally be 4:1. This means the value of the property in the district, with the public improvements, should be at least four times the amount of the assessment or special tax debt. In special circumstances, after conferring and receiving the concurrence of the City’s financial advisor and bond counsel that a lower value-to-debt ratio is financially prudent under the circumstances, the City may consider allowing a value-to-debt ratio of 3:1. The Council should make special findings in this case. 7. Appraisal Methodology. Determination of value of property in the district shall be based upon the full cash value as shown on the ad valorem assessment roll or upon an appraisal by an independent Member Appraisal Institute (MAI). The definitions, standards and assumptions to be used for appraisals shall be determined by the City on a case-by-case basis, with input from City consultants and district applicants, and by reference to relevant materials and information promulgated by the State of California, including the Appraisal Standards for Land-Secured Financings prepared by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission. 8. Capitalized Interest During Construction. Decisions to capitalize interest will be made on case-by-case basis, with the intent that if allowed, it should improve the credit quality of the bonds and reduce borrowing costs, benefiting both current and future property owners. 9. Maximum Burden. Annual assessments (or special taxes in the case of Mello-Roos or similar districts) should generally not exceed 1% of the sales price of the property; and total property taxes, special assessments and special taxes payments collected on the tax roll should generally not exceed 2%. 10. Benefit Apportionment. Assessments and special taxes will be apportioned according to a formula that is clear, understandable, equitable and reasonably related to the benefit received by—or burden attributed to—each parcel with respect to its financed improvement. Any annual escalation factor should generally not exceed 2%. F. Development Impact Fees Guidelines and Policies Development impact fees are one-time fees levied on new development, typically levied at the time building permits are issued, to fund a range of the City’s public facilities and infrastructure. Packet Pg. 657 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Such fees are levied both on a citywide basis as well as for specific areas (e.g., the Specific Plan Areas). The levy of development impact fees is regulated by the State’s Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Section 66000 et seq.). 1. Development impact fees should be set, consistent with the statutory “nexus” analysis and findings, to fund new development’s proportional share of public facility and infrastructure costs. 2. Improvements funded by development impact fees should be referenced generally in the appropriate planning documents (e.g., General Plan, Specific Plans, etc.) and reflected in the City’s Capital Improvement Program. 3. An exception to this policy may be created by a development agreement between the City and a private developer. In this case public investments are offset by measurable public benefits. 4. The City’s development impact fees can be “leveraged” through the use of fee credit and reimbursement agreements with developers and landowners. 5. The City’s aggregate fee levels should not render new development that is otherwise consistent with City plans and regulations economically infeasible. Aggregate fee levels should be evaluated in terms of a reasonable standard, but not a strict limit (e.g., aggregate fee levels should not exceed an average of approximately 10 to 12 percent of the market value of the new development, either on a per-unit or per-square foot basis). 6. The City may consider reductions or waivers of its development impact fees in cases where a development project meets specific City planning or economic development policies such as affordable housing projects. In such cases the amount of funding foregone must be replaced with other funding sources available to the City. 1. Special Tax District Administration. In the case of Mello-Roos or similar special tax districts, the total maximum annual tax should not exceed 110% of annual debt service. The rate and method of apportionment should include a back-up tax in the event of significant changes from the initial development plan, and should include procedures for prepayments. 1. Community Facilities Districts or Assessment Districts offer a way to fund infrastructure, maintenance, or municipal services through special taxes or assessments levied on property owners benefiting from the thus-funded improvements or services. It can be used for both capital improvements and ongoing facility maintenance or services. Packet Pg. 658 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 2. The City will consider the formation of financing districts using the State’s assessment law or the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act for its newly developing areas on a case- by-case basis, consistent with technical analysis and City priorities (i.e., capital or ongoing funding). 3. The City will consider the effect of the special tax on the City’s ability to issue General Obligation bonds or other property-based tax measures. 4. Such districts should fund infrastructure or services serving or otherwise providing benefit to the area subject to the assessment or special tax. 5. Such districts can fund public facilities or infrastructure otherwise funded with the City’s development impact fees or project-specific exactions. In such cases the area’s development impact fee obligations will be adjusted proportionately. 6. Within any such districts, property value-to-lien ratio should, consistent with typical underwriting standards, be at least 4.0:1 after calculating the value of the financed public improvements to be installed and considering any prior or pending special taxes or improvement liens. 7. Consistent with underwriting standards and market considerations, and as a matter of policy, the City will limit the maximum amount of special taxes to be levied on any parcel of property within a Community Facilities District, in any given fiscal year, together with the general property taxes, general obligation bonds, and other special taxes and assessments levied on such parcel, shall not exceed an amount equal to one and eight- tenths percent (1.8 percent) of the projected assessed value of the parcel (and improvements if applicable). How the special tax capacity is allocated between capital and ongoing expenditures will depend upon the City’s priorities. 8. The City shall have discretion to allow a special tax in excess of the established limits for any lands within the CFD which are designated for commercial or industrial uses. 9. As a part of such district formations, the City will retain a special tax consultant to prepare a report which recommends a special tax rate and method for the proposed CFD and evaluates the special tax proposed to determine its ability to adequately fund identified public facilities, City administrative costs, services (if applicable) and other related expenditures. Packet Pg. 659 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 2. Foreclosure Covenants. In managing administrative costs, the City will establish minimum delinquency amounts per owner, and for the district as a whole, on a case-by-case basis before initiating foreclosure proceedings. 3. Disclosure to Bondholders. In general, each property owner who accounts for more than 10% of the annual debt service or bonded indebtedness must provide ongoing disclosure information annually as described under SEC Rule 15(c)-12. 4. Disclosure to Prospective Purchasers. Full disclosure about outstanding balances and annual payments should be made by the seller to prospective buyers at the time that the buyer bids on the property. It should not be deferred to after the buyer has made the decision to purchase. When appropriate, applicants or property owners may be required to provide the City with a disclosure plan. G. Conduit Financings 1. The City will consider requests for conduit financing on a case-by-case basis using the following criteria: a. The City’s bond counsel will review the terms of the financing, and render an opinion that there will be no liability to the City in issuing the bonds on behalf of the applicant. b. There is a clearly articulated public purpose in providing the conduit financing. c. The applicant is capable of achieving this public purpose. 2. This means that the review of requests for conduit financing will generally be a two-step process: a. First asking the Council if they are interested in considering the request, and establishing the ground rules for evaluating it. b. And then returning with the results of this evaluation, and recommending approval of appropriate financing documents if warranted. This two-step approach ensures that the issues are clear for both the City and applicant, and that key policy questions are answered. 3. The workscope necessary to address these issues will vary from request to request, and will have to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, the City should generally be fully reimbursed for our costs in evaluating the request; however, this should also be determined on a case-by-case basis. B. Refinancings 1. General Guidelines. Periodic reviews of all outstanding debt will be undertaken to determine refinancing opportunities. Refinancings will be considered (within federal tax law constraints) under the following conditions: a. There is a net economic benefit. b. It is needed to modernize covenants that are adversely affecting the City’s financial position or operations. c. The City wants to reduce the principal outstanding in order to achieve future debt service savings, and it has available working capital to do so from other sources. Packet Pg. 660 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 2. Standards for Economic Savings. In general, refinancings for economic savings will be undertaken whenever net present value savings of at least five percent (5%) of the refunded debt can be achieved. a. Refinancings that produce net present value savings of less than five percent will be considered on a case-by-case basis, provided that the present value savings are at least three percent (3%) of the refunded debt. b. Refinancings with savings of less than three percent (3%), or with negative savings, will not be considered unless there is a compelling public policy objective. C. Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District Guidelines and Policies a. EIFD financing should be considered for public facilities or infrastructure improvements that confer Citywide and/or regional benefits. This may include the “City share” of infrastructure included in the City’s development impact fees. b. Unless there is a Development Agreement in place that provides otherwise, EIFDs should not be used to fund real estate projects’ proportional share of infrastructure costs otherwise included in the City’s development impact fees or charged as project-specific exactions (e.g., subdivision improvements). c. City should consider EIFDs when more than one local government jurisdiction is participating to produce maximum benefit. d. At the time of formation of the EIFD (or if changes to the EIFD are contemplated), the City should require a fiscal impact analysis to determine if an EIFD is fiscally prudent and analyze opportunity cost to the City’s General Fund. HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT A. Regular Staffing 1. The budget will fully appropriate the resources needed for authorized regular staffing and will limit programs to the regular staffing authorized. 2. Regular employees will be the core work force and the preferred means of staffing ongoing, year-round program activities that should be performed by full-time City employees rather than independent contractors. The City will strive to provide competitive compensation and benefit schedules for its authorized regular work force. Each regular employee will: a. Fill an authorized regular position. b. Be assigned to an appropriate bargaining unit, unless designated as an unrepresented management or confidential classification. c. Receive salary and benefits consistent with labor agreements or other compensation plans. 3. To manage the growth of the regular work force and overall staffing costs, the City will follow these procedures: a. The Council will authorize all regular positions. Packet Pg. 661 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES b. The Human Resources Department will coordinate and approve the hiring of all regular and supplemental staff. c. All requests for additional regular positions will include evaluations of: x The necessity, term and expected results of the proposed activity. x Staffing and materials costs including salary, benefits, equipment, uniforms, clerical support and facilities. x The ability of private industry to provide the proposed service. x Additional revenues or cost savings, which may be realized. 4. Periodically, and before any request for additional regular positions, programs will be evaluated to determine if they can be accomplished with fewer regular employees. (See Productivity Review Policy) 5. Staffing and contract service cost ceilings will limit total expenditures for regular employees, supplemental staff, and independent contractors hired to provide operating and maintenance services. B. Supplemental Staff 1. The hiring of supplemental staff will not be used as an incremental method for expanding the City's regular work force. 2. Supplemental staff include all employees other than regular employees, elected officials and volunteers. Supplemental staff include temporary employees, interns, and contract employees. Supplemental staff may work on a full-time or part-time basis and will generally augment regular City staffing. Supplemental staff may be used as extra-help during peak workloads, as coverage during extended absences of regular employees, seasonal workforce, as a means to assess ongoing staffing needs, or as the staffing method for program delivery that is most effectively staffed using part-time hours to ensure adequate coverage. 3. The City Manager and Department Heads will encourage the use of supplemental staff rather than regular employees to meet peak workload requirements, fill interim vacancies, and accomplish tasks where less than full-time, year-round staffing is required. Under this guideline, supplemental staff hours will generally not exceed 50% of a regular, full-time position (1,000 hours annually). There may be limited circumstances where the use of supplemental staff on an ongoing basis in excess of this target may be appropriate due to unique programming or staffing requirements. However, any such exceptions must be approved by the City Manager based on the review and recommendation of the Human Resources Director. 4. Contract employees are defined as supplemental staff with written contracts approved by the City Manager who may receive approved benefits Contract employees will generally be used for medium-term (generally between six months and two years) projects, programs or activities requiring specialized or augmented levels of staffing for a specific period. The services of contract employees will be discontinued upon completion of the assigned project, program or activity. Accordingly, contract employees will not be used for services that are anticipated to be delivered on an ongoing basis and as such, a determination as to the expected need will be made at the end of each contract term and prior to extending or renewing a contract. C. Overtime Management Packet Pg. 662 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES 1. Overtime should be used only when necessary and when other alternatives are not feasible or cost effective. 2. All overtime must be pre-authorized by a department head or delegate unless it is assumed pre-approved by its nature. For example, overtime that results when an employee is assigned to standby and/or must respond to an emergency or complete an emergency response. 3. Departmental operating budgets should reflect anticipated annual overtime costs and departments will regularly monitor overtime use and expenditures. 4. When considering the addition of regular or temporary staffing, the use of overtime as an alternative will be considered. The department will take into account: a. The duration that additional staff resources may be needed. b. The cost of overtime versus the cost of additional staff. c. The skills and abilities of current staff. d. Training costs associated with hiring additional staff. e. The impact of overtime on existing staff. D. Independent Contractors Independent contractors are not City employees. They may be used in two situations: 1. Short-term, peak workload assignments to be accomplished using personnel contracted through an outside temporary employment agency (OEA). In this situation, it is anticipated that City staff will closely monitor the work of OEA employees and minimal training will be required. However, they will always be considered the employees of the OEA and not the City. All placements through an OEA will be coordinated through the Human Resources Department and subject to the approval of the Human Resources Director. 2. Construction of public works projects and delivery of operating, maintenance or specialized professional services not routinely performed by City employees. Such services will be provided without close supervision by City staff, and the required methods, skills and equipment will generally be determined and provided by the contractor. Contract awards will be guided by the City's purchasing policies and procedures. (See Contracting for Services Policy) PRODUCTIVITY Ensuring the “delivery of service with value for cost” is one of the key concepts embodied in the City's Mission Statement (San Luis Obispo Style— Quality With Vision). To this end, the City will constantly monitor and review our methods of operation to ensure that services continue to be delivered in the most cost-effective manner possible. This review process encompasses a wide range of productivity issues, including: A. Analyzing systems and procedures to identify and remove unnecessary review requirements. B. Evaluating the ability of new technologies and related capital investments to improve productivity. Packet Pg. 663 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES C. Developing the skills and abilities of all City employees. D. Developing and implementing appropriate methods of recognizing and rewarding exceptional employee performance. E. Evaluating the ability of the private sector to perform the same level of service at a lower cost. F. Periodic formal reviews of operations on a systematic, ongoing basis. G. Maintaining a decentralized approach in managing the City's support service functions. Although some level of centralization is necessary for review and control purposes, decentralization supports productivity by: 1. Encouraging accountability by delegating responsibility to the lowest possible level. 2. Stimulating creativity, innovation and individual initiative. 3. Reducing the administrative costs of operation by eliminating unnecessary review procedures. 4. Improving the organization's ability to respond to changing needs, and identify and implement cost-saving programs. 5. Assigning responsibility for effective operations and citizen responsiveness to the department. H. Maintaining City purchasing policies and procedures that are as efficient and effective as possible. CONTRACTING FOR SERVICES A. General Policy Guidelines 1. Contracting with the private sector for the delivery of services provides the City with a significant opportunity for cost containment and productivity enhancements. As such, the City is committed to using private sector resources in delivering municipal services as a key element in our continuing efforts to provide cost-effective programs. 2. Private sector contracting approaches under this policy include construction projects, professional services, outside employment agencies and ongoing operating and maintenance services. 3. In evaluating the costs of private sector contracts compared with in-house performance of the service, indirect, direct, and contract administration costs of the City will be identified and considered. 4. Whenever private sector providers are available and can meet established service levels, they will be seriously considered as viable service delivery alternatives using the evaluation criteria outlined below. 5. For programs and activities currently provided by City employees, conversions to contract services will generally be made through attrition, reassignment or absorption by the contractor. B. Evaluation Criteria Packet Pg. 664 BUDGET REFERENCE MATERIALS Attachment X BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Within the general policy guidelines stated above, the cost-effectiveness of contract services in meeting established service levels will be determined on a case-by-case basis using the following criteria: 1. Is a sufficient private sector market available to competitively deliver this service and assure a reasonable range of alternative service providers? 2. Can the contract be effectively and efficiently administered? 3. What are the consequences if the contractor fails to perform, and can the contract reasonably be written to compensate the City for any such damages? 4. Can a private sector contractor better respond to expansions, contractions or special requirements of the service? 5. Can the work scope be sufficiently defined to ensure that competing proposals can be fairly and fully evaluated, as well as the contractor's performance after bid award? 6. Does the use of contract services provide us with an opportunity to redefine service levels? 7. Will the contract limit our ability to deliver emergency or other high priority services? 8. Overall, can the City successfully delegate the performance of the service but still retain accountability and responsibility for its delivery? Packet Pg. 665 Section H.3 Background Materials CURRENT AND LONG-TERM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Packet Pg. 666 ATTACHMENT J STATUS OF CURRENT CIP PROJECTS As of November 2018 3 Packet Pg. 667 STATUS OF 2017-19 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Purpose The purpose of this report is to provide the Council with a concise summary of the status of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects. Of the 97 projects that have been financially active during the 2017-19 Financial Plan period: 1. 20 are complete, 2. 29 will be complete within 6 months, 3. 21 will be complete within 12 months, 4. 27 will be complete in more than 12 months. Within the last 12 months the following projects have been completed: 1. Sinsheimer Playground Renovation: Park playground equipment, which had originally been installed in 1993, was outdated and did not conform to current California playground regulations. In preparation for renovation, the City underwent an extensive public engagement process including receiving children’s input in a “kids only” session. The resulting project includes a completely reconstructed playground site and all new equipment, which has been well received by adults and children alike. The construction cost for this work was $725,000 of which $283,000 was grant funding Complete, 20 Complete in 6 months, 29 Complete in 12 months, 21 Complete in more than 12 months, 27 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Packet Pg. 668 2. Madonna Road and Los Osos Valley Road Paving: Los Osos Valley Road and Madonna Road underwent a combination of maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction work for the first time in approximately 10 years. Improvements included repairs and a maintenance seal of Los Osos Valley Road and Madonna Road, as well as full reconstruction of Madonna Road between Los Osos Valley Road and Oceanaire through reclamation of the existing roadway paving. Along with pavement maintenance work, curb ramp upgrades and bike facility improvements were completed. The construction cost for this project was $2,740,000. 3. Mission Plaza Railing Replacements: This project addresses ongoing railing replacement needs within the Mission Plaza and adjacent pathways along San Luis Obispo Creek. The existing railing is deteriorated and failing in places and does not meet current standards for safety. Approximately 160 lineal feet of railing is replaced at a cost of $30,000. 4. Calle Joaquin Park and Ride: This project, located on Calle Joaquin behind the Hampton Inn, encourages sustainable transportation and ridesharing with the addition of 31 car spaces and two motorcycle spaces to the region-wide Park and Ride inventory. In addition to the construction of new parking, the project also included a bus turnout, lighting, and landscaping with Low Impact Development (LID) features to retain and save water. The construction cost for this work was $573,000. Packet Pg. 669 5. Reservoir canyon: The Reservoir Canyon Natural Reserve is a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The City’s Conservation Plan for the reserve identified the need to provide increased trail access and creek crossings to allow safer passage, particularly during winter storm events when Reservoir Canyon creek often floods parts of the trail. This project installed a new 60-foot span fiberglass bridge crossing at a cost of $75,000. 6. Marsh Street Curb Ramps: The City has an established system of streets with curbs, gutter, and sidewalks. This system can be challenging to negotiate for those with physical limitations, especially where curb ramps do not currently exist or where curb ramps do not meet current standards. This project installed new ramps and retrofitted existing ramps at 21 locations along Marsh Street. Construction cost for this work was $165,000 of which $105,000 was Community Development Block Grant funding. Before/After Photo at North Corner of Marsh & Carmel Intersection. 7. Monterey & Osos Traffic Signal Reconstruction: The City’s Traffic Safety Report identified the intersection of Monterey and Osos as a high collision rate intersection with correctable measures available. Red light violations in all directions was the identified pattern of collision at the intersection. Corrective measures included the enhanced visibility of signal heads, which were constructed by this project. Additional improvements included new curb ramps at all four corners and tree replacement. The construction cost for this work was $360,000. Packet Pg. 670 8. Bus Shelters: The SLO Transit system has approximately 236 bus stops of which 49 have bus shelters. Many of the existing shelters are older models with glass panels that are past their useful life and are subject to graffiti and vandalism; glass replacement is an ongoing expense. This project replaced 12 old shelters with new models which meet current standards and are more durable. The project cost for this work was $63,000. 9. City Hall Kiosk: This project continued implementation of the City Wayfinding Program with the installation of a new informational kiosk and wayfinding sign located outside of City Hall.

Many of our current infrastructure assets are not adequate to handle the needs of the future. Many streets must be built or widened, intersections improved, bicycle facilities added, water lines and sewer lines extended into new areas, and new parks must be built. The Long-Range Capital Improvement Needs can serve as a guide for required future investments to support the General Plan as well as other Council approved policies, plans, and goals in place today. At the time of General Plan build out, the projects included in the Long-Range Capital Improvement Plan Needs would ideally be built and available for use by the community. Annual maintenance needs for City infrastructure are shown below are represent the ideal annual investment. Annual Maintenance Needs Asset Ideal Annual Funding Traffic Management $ 250,000 Pavement Management $ 4,400,000 Curb, Gutter, Sidewalks $ 1,000,000 Flood Control $ 5,300,000 Sidewalk Ramps $ 580,000 Parks Play Equipment $ 150,000 Water Systems $ 3,100,000 Sewer Systems $ 2,800,000 Buildings $ 1,570,000 Bike Path Maintenance $ 100,000 Openspace Maintenance $ 150,000 Total $ 19,400,000 Annual maintenance needs of existing assets are an important consideration when considering the one-time implementation cost of long-range infrastructure expansions projects. While the Long-Range Capital Improvement Plan Needs focuses on the new facilities and infrastructure needed to support the City at build-out, the costs to maintain existing assets should also be considered. Ideally, these projects would be built as part of new development taking place in the City, but this may be unrealistic. The City may need to build some of these projects using grant funds, general funds, or some form of debt financing. There also may be opportunities in the future in which to leverage grant funding to build larger infrastructure maintenance projects to complement what new development provides. By considering the Long-Range Capital Improvement Plan Needs in the context of the Financial Plan process, these projects provide an important starting place in assessing which ones might be a high priority to consider in the next funding cycle. The list is a way Packet Pg. 688 4 for the Council to see the long-term infrastructure improvements that are needed and have an “order of magnitude” idea of how much it may cost to fully implement. With this understanding, the Long-Range Capital Improvement Plan Needs is one of the pieces of information for the Council to consider in setting goals and priorities. This Long- Range Capital Improvement Plan Needs is conceptual, and in most cases, the projects have not undergone detailed analysis, nor undergone the rigor of the public review process. They represent City staff’s best assessment of costs and scope based on what is known today but may undergo changes in scope or importance as new challenges and issues emerge over time. In short, this report focuses on presenting the "inventory" of improvements that may be needed at some time in the future, as a starting point in the goal-setting process. A summary of estimated cost of the Long-Range Capital Improvement Plan Needs by function and anticipated funding source is as follows: LONG-TERM CIP SUMMARY BY FUNCTION AND FUNDING SOURCE COMMUNITY & NEIGHBORHOOD LIVABILITY $ 3,358,000 General Capital Outlay $ 3,358,000 COMMUNITY SAFETY $ 137,583,000 General Capital Outlay $ 131,427,000 Impact Fee $ 6,156,000 CULTURE & RECREATION $ 115,827,000 General Capital Outlay $ 82,827,000 Impact Fee $ 25,808,000 Park In Lieu $ 7,192,000 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & OPEN SPACE $ 23,223,000 General Capital Outlay $ 15,723,000 State or Federal Grant $ 7,500,000 FISCAL HEALTH & GOVERNANCE $ 13,160,000 General Capital Outlay $ 13,160,000 INFRASTRUCTURE & TRANSPORTATION $ 662,810,000 Debt Financing $ 18,656,000 Developer Contribution $ 30,825,000 General Capital Outlay $ 240,274,000 Parking Fund $ 10,010,000 Sewer Fund $ 130,000,000 State or Federal Grant $ 50,851,000 Transportation Impact Fee $ 104,694,000 Water Fund $ 77,500,000 Total $ 955,961,000 Existing city funding is available for a portion of the Annual Maintenance needs in the first chart.

In July of next year, we will officially be in the midst of the longest expansion on record. Will we make it? Odds are almost certain we will. Far from losing steam, the U.S. economy has been on a solid upswing lately. But as always, a deeper look at the data suggests that there are issues to keep an eye on. All in all, we remain pessimistically optimistic. Or perhaps optimistically pessimistic. Consider some recent statistics. U.S. GDP growth in the second quarter came in above 4%, the best reading since 2014 and driven by strong growth in business and consumer spending. Industrial production is up 4% from one year ago—another recent best. Employment growth over the last 3 months has totaled over 200,000 jobs added per month even with unemployment below 4%. More importantly, the job openings rate is at 4.2%, suggesting that employers would hire even more workers, if they could find them. United States Forecast Control Your Enthusiasm 2018 CCEF FORECAST - UNITED STATES FORECAST 2018 CCEF FORECAST - UNITED STATES FORECAST by Christopher Thornberg, Beacon Economics LLC Packet Pg. 697 6 7 The recent GDP release came with (as is usual every couple of years) a revision of the last few years of data on the basis of better data and improved techniques. While the revision didn’t change much in terms of the estimation of economic output, it did change the estimated flow of income. In particular, the Bureau of Economic Analysis increased their estimate of proprietor incomes (earnings for the self-employed) substantially. This had the impact of completely erasing the decline in consumer savings rates we have been fretting about in recent reports. Combine this with the low rate of consumer debt increases, and it is clear the overall financial health of U.S. households is as good as it has ever been. As positive as all this news is, don’t be fooled into believing the U.S. economy has truly achieved a new pace of growth. Scratch away at the surface and there are any number of reasons to conclude that the current growth surge is, at best, temporary. At worst, the seeds of the next recession are possibly being sown in these current numbers.

The 4.1% growth rate in the second quarter was certainly impressive. But most of that growth came from a surge in consumer spending— an anticipated surge given the weak first quarter for consumer spending growth. In other words, it was a reversion to the trend, not a permanent jump. Business spending was solid, but similar to the last few years. Housing remains weak, as does state and local spending. The consensus outlook suggests growth will come in at a far more reasonable 3% for the balance of the year, with an average growth rate of 3% for the entire year.

But even here, it is important to recognize that this modest bump is being driven by a surge in government borrowing rather than any true shift in fundamentals. The tax plan passed at the end of last year was not the major overhaul of a broken tax system that the United States desperately needs. Rather, it was a nothing more than a fiscal stimulus plan, something that would typically be used in times of economic trouble—not in the midst of a record tight labor market. The problem with any fiscal debt driven stimulus is that you are borrowing from the future to accelerate the ‘now’. And like most stimulants, the buzz you get feels good in the short run, but diminishes over time unless you continue to increase the dosage. Then there is always the inevitable crash, when you finally have to get off of the stimulant completely. When that crash will occur for the economy is unclear, but the current path is guaranteeing that when that day comes, it will be ugly. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - UNITED STATES FORECAST 2018 CCEF FORECAST - UNITED STATES FORECAST -1,600 -1,400 -1,200 -1,000 -200 Ne t S a v i n g ($ , B i l l i o n s , S e a s o n a l l y A d j u s t e d ) -800 -600 -400 0.0 Ja n 2 0 0 8 De c 2 0 0 8 No v 2 0 0 9 Oc t 2 0 1 0 Se p 2 0 1 1 Au g 2 0 1 2 Ju l 2 0 1 3 Ju n 2 0 1 4 Ma y 2 0 1 5 Ap r 2 0 1 6 M a r 2 0 1 7 NET FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAVING January 2008 to March 2017 Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC 80 85 105 In d e x e d , 2 0 1 2 = 1 0 0 (S e a s o n a l l y A d j u s t e d ) 90 95 100 110 Ju l 2 0 0 8 Ju n 2 0 0 9 Ma y 2 0 1 0 Ap r 2 0 1 1 Ma r 2 0 1 2 Fe b 2 0 1 3 Ja n 2 0 1 4 De c 2 0 1 4 No v 2 0 1 5 Oc t 2 0 1 6 Se p 2 0 1 7 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION: MANUFACTURING July 2008 to September 2017 Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC Second, are the international trade battles currently in play. While the problems with the European Union seem to be on hold for the moment, the U.S. disputes with China are growing worse with both sides continuing to ratchet up the tariffs being levered on the other. Much has been made of the effects on U.S. exporters to China, particularly those that export agricultural products. But the U.S. imports almost four times as much from China as it exports to them. And what we do import are critical components of U.S. supply chains. As solid as industrial production looks from a growth perspective, recent data suggests overall production is starting to plateau. This isn’t to say that some of this isn’t good pain—the Chinese have been flouting international norms on trade, intellectual property rights, and foreign investment for years and that needs to end. The U.S. does need to push back, but to do so negotiations must start with a clear and logical set of goals. War for war’s sake is never a good plan. Unfortunately, the current administration appears to have no clear path forward, and with other troubles brewing, including possible legal problems, it seems unlikely that it will be able to develop a coherent and effective plan any time soon. And let’s not forget that NAFTA—by far the most important trade group for the U.S.—is also under threat. Lastly, there is the Federal Reserve. Inflation has heated up as of late with the CPI getting close to 3%, the fastest since 2011. Beacon Economics, however, still doesn’t believe there is a real chance of higher permanent inflation. M2 growth remains below 4%, and bank lending is tepid. But with employment costs and import prices on the untick, the Fed will surely continue to tighten regardless of the impact on the yield curve. This too will place stress on the economy. Add it up and the rest of this year looks solid, but expect slower growth next year. Additionally, the long term stressors of heavy Federal borrowing, rising interest rates, and ongoing political chaos, make it clear that while there is no reason to expect a recession anytime soon, we should remain more vigilant than ever in watching for the unanticipated shock. The nation’s capacity to absorb a blow to its economy is substantially diminished and it won’t take much to end the current expansion. Packet Pg. 699 10 11 2018 CCEF FORECAST - CALIFORNIA FORECAST 2018 CCEF FORECAST - CALIFORNIA FORECAST California Forecast OK for Now... With two quarters down and sights turning toward the last part of the year, it is apparent that the California economic engine continues to hum along, much like the nation as a whole. Job gains have been steady and the state’s leading industries have expanded despite ongoing concerns on the international trade front. Still, good news notwithstanding, anxieties linger about California’s extremely tight housing market and the resulting affordability challenges it presents, and the long term consequences of slow growth in the state’s labor force. 2018 Shaping Up to Be a Good Year California continues to land in record territory, with its unemployment rate at 4.2% for the fourth month in a row as of July 2018. At the same time, job growth so far this year has outpaced 2017 by a slim margin, with wage and salary jobs in July increasing by 2.0% or 332,700 jobs compared to one year earlier. Of the 332,700 jobs added in July, Health Care and Leisure and Hospitality each contributed 58,000 positions, or more than one-third of the total, with Construction, Professional Scientific and Technical Services, and Transportation and Warehousing also reporting sizable gains among the private sector industries. This set of industries has consistently made the largest contributions to job gains in the state over the last several years. The Government sector added to its ranks as well, increasing by 33,300 workers with roughly two-thirds of the increase occurring in Local Government and one-third in State Government (the Federal Government trimmed 2,500 jobs). All but one of the state’s major industries experienced job gains in July, with only Mining and Logging seeing a loss of 300 jobs.

Real Gross State Product advanced by 3.5% year-to-year in the first quarter, the fastest rate of growth since late 2015, while current dollar Taxable Receipts grew by 4.3%. A look at more detailed data shows healthy spending on the part of both house- holds and businesses: Taxable receipts on consumer goods rose 4.8% year-to-year while receipts on busi- ness and industry spending increased by 3.6% over the same period. Both the coastal and inland regions of the state have enjoyed economic and job gains for several years running. Through the first seven months of this year, every metro area in California experienced job growth. Across the large metro areas, job gains in the San Francisco Bay Area reflect the staying power of the tech sector, with the largest absolute and percentage increases occurring in San Jose. In Southern Califor- nia, the Inland Empire has consistently registered the largest percentage gains in jobs for the last couple of years, although Los Angeles County generally reports the largest absolute gains because of its size. Much of the growth in the entire region has come from Health Care, Professional Scientific and Technical Services, Construction, and Logistics. Metro areas in the Cen- tral Valley have also seen employment growth overall, supported by job gains across a variety of sectors. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - CALIFORNIA FORECAST 2018 CCEF FORECAST - CALIFORNIA FORECAST 0. 0 % Ventura Los Angeles Orange Barkersfield East Bay San Diego Sacramento 0. 5 % 1. 0 % 1. 5 % 2. 0 % 2. 5 % 3. 0 % 3. 5 % San Francisco Santa Rosa Fresno Inland Empire Stockton San Jose YEAR TO YEAR PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN NONFARM JOBS Largest CA MSAs, July 2018 Source: California Economic Development; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC The Housing Market’s Mixed Performance California’s housing market has been a mixed bag so far this year. According to Corelogic, the statewide median home price was $481,100 in the second quarter, up 8.6% year-to-year. The median price is still about 7% below its pre-recession peak despite a string of yearly price gains going back several years. Meanwhile, home sales have been average, at best, and disappointing when considered against the backdrop of the state’s long economic expansion. Home sales fell 0.9% year-to-year in July, and over the first seven months of the year, were 1.4% lower in year-to-date terms. Sluggish sales are symptomatic of the state’s housing market, and due in part to tight lending standards on mortgages and lean supply (unsold inventory is still low at 3.3 months). It is noteworthy, however, that the number of listings over the period spanning February through July was higher than in 2017, with listings in July 2018 alone up 15.2% from one year earlier. More listings should temper price increases going forward and slow the recent declines in affordability, which fell to a 10-year low in the second quarter of this year. New home construction moved up a notch in the first half of this year compared with last year, a development that should also temper, but not halt, price increases. Overall, housing permits rose 9.4% in the first half of 2018 compared to one year earlier, with increases of 7.3% in single-family permits and 11.4% in multi-family permits. The state is on track to add about 130,000 new units this year, still far below its needs, which are closer to 200,000 units annually. As long as home construction lags what the state needs, high housing costs will be a painful thorn in the side of the California economy. Packet Pg. 701 14 15 2018 CCEF FORECAST - CALIFORNIA FORECAST 2018 CCEF FORECAST - CALIFORNIA FORECAST High housing costs impede California’s economic growth over the long-term to the extent that these costs serve as a deterrent to labor force growth. The state’s labor force growth rate has experienced sig- nificant slowing since the fall of 2017, with the year- to-year growth rate at just 0.2% in July 2018. Monthly labor force data are notoriously volatile, so a more consistent picture results from looking at 12-month moving averages of growth. If anything, the lon- ger-term story that emerges is more concerning. Over the last few years, the growth rate of California’s la- bor force followed roughly the same direction as the growth rate of the U.S. labor force – until the second half of 2017, when California’s growth rate began a steady decline even as the U.S. growth rate has accel- erated in recent months. In looking at the future growth trajectory of the Cali- fornia economy, the elephant in the room is the high cost of housing and its impact on labor force growth. State-to-state migration data show an ongoing outmi- gration from California going back many years, which fortunately has been more than offset in most years by positive international migration into the state. This is no accident: The California median home price has consistently been more than double the national me- dian home price for several years. The rental market is no different, with a number of California metro areas ranking among the least affordable rental markets in the nation. As growth in the state’s labor force slows further, it will tighten like a noose on the economy and limit future growth and business development.

Total nonfarm employment continues to reach record highs, and the unemployment rate has gradually reached new lows. Business activity has been mixed in the most recent data, and hospitality and tourism are becoming a larger part of the local economy. And although the drought ended early last year, it did not translate to higher crop yields compared with 2016. Farm employment held steady in 2017, but there has been a shift in farm labor toward more profitable fruit and nut crops and also a general labor shortage. Housing remains a key concern and will continue to be a headwind for growth absent any major shifts in policy. As was the case last year, total nonfarm employment has gradually cooled as more residents are finding work, and the unemployment rate continues to reach record low levels. A sustained increase in overall payrolls has cut the unemployment rate to 2.8%, well below the State’s 4.1%. For five consecutive years, total nonfarm employment growth decelerated, from 3.7% in 2013 to 1.5% through August 2018. Total nonfarm employment is likely to increase less than 2% for all of 2018, and growth will slow further beyond 2018. Mounting labor shortages and affordability remain key challenges that will only worsen in the coming years.

The county’s strong Manufacturing industry has continued to expand with the beverage sector being a principal component of such growth. The county’s Education & Health Care sector (+3.6%) and Leisure & Hospitality sector posted the strongest year-over- year absolute gains, both adding 600 jobs. It was also in these two sectors where there were the largest absolute increases in business starts for 2017. The growth in Leisure & Hospitality reflects the Central Coast county’s growing stature as a pleasant and tourist destination for those in nearby heavily populated regions of the state. Indeed, the county will benefit by playing to its nonfarm industry strengths, especially since their county crop exports declined by over 30% in 2017. Wage gains in 2017 were distributed across many sectors in San Luis Obispo County, with the largest in Information and Professional & Business Services sectors. The Natural Resource & Construction sector is experiencing a resurgence, with employment and wages increasing considerably. The County should expect wages to face upward pressure as the labor market becomes ever tighter. Drought Classification None D0 (Abnormally Dry)D1 (Moderate Drought)D2 (Severe Drought)D3 (Extreme Drought)D4 (Exceptional Drought) Although the drought was declared over in 2017, 2018 is shaping up to be a particularly dry year with some areas of the county already experiencing moderate to severe drought. However, throughout 2017, the strongest gains that did occur the farm industry were from wine grapes and strawberries. San Luis Obispo County can expect to see demand increase for these two crops through the next couple of years, but punitive tariffs slapped on our trading partners remains a concern for the outlook. Indexed crop values confirm that San Luis Obispo growth in agricultural real output continues to win the footrace between neighboring Santa Barbara and Monterey Counties as well as the state of California as a whole. Given the latest data, it may be the case that Monterey County comes at least within an arm of length should San Luis Obispo’s agricultural sector see more unfavorable conditions. Business activity in San Luis Obispo County was mixed in 2017 and through the first half of 2018. Overall local spending activity slowed in 2018, mainly because of a decline in Business and Industry spending. A surge in Building and Construction, however, partially offset the contraction. Although we expect business activity to continue to grow, the region faces several headwinds. One ongoing local concern is the closure of the Diablo Canyon power plant. One ongoing local concern is the closure of the Diablo Canyon power plant. The plant has long been a key part of the local economy, and its closure will undoubtedly impact growth. Proposed settlements to help cushion the blow have recently moved forward. Gov. Brown signed legislation (SB 1090) that mandates that Pacific Gas & Electric, which owns and operates the plant, pay over $85 million to mitigate the plant’s closing. 1 The bill will also fully fund the $350 million employee retention program. Additionally, Congress via the Department of Energy is looking to find money to support local communities where nuclear power plants are being decommissioned.2 In other words, San Luis Obispo County could get additional funding once Diablo Canyon decommissioning begins. As the situation develops, Beacon Economics will be keeping a close eye on the closure and will continue to assess how it will affect the local economy.

Growth in the labor market will continue, albeit at a slower pace than in previous years, through the rest of 2018 and at least through 2019. Business activity is expected to trend up as well. To be sure, headwinds exist, but there are a few upsides to look forward to. Consumer sentiment remains at or near historic highs, tight labor markets have yielded increases in wages, and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act should provide a moderate boost to business investment. Although the estimated impact of the tax cut varies, the consensus is an increase in consumption by both businesses and consumers.

One area of opportunity is expensing. The tax law enables businesses to fully expense the cost of business property, inventory included. There is also 100% bonus depreciation, which is scheduled to remain effective until 2023. This will allow a business owner to deduct a large amount of an asset’s cost in a single year rather than depreciating it over several years. Before the law, the bonus depreciation amount was 50%. In other words, half of the cost of an asset could be deducted in the first year, with the residual deducted over several years. The law increases the bonus depreciation amount to 100%. Additionally, for the first time, bonus depreciation may be used for purchases of used as well as new property.3 Because of the tax overhaul, we expect taxable sales to increase 3% to 4% in the short term as businesses take advantage of the provisions. The County’s real estate market has advanced over the past year but could be doing better considering the region’s economic growth. At this point in the business cycle, housing is unlikely to experience a major structural shift. Mortgage rates are not expected to rise substantially over the near term, but the impact of incrementally rising rates coupled with tight lending standards leads us to believe that home sales are not likely to deviate from the narrow range of recent years. As a result, it is hard to see how the housing market will gain much momentum in terms of sales. The Federal Reserve has shown no sign of scaling back its pursuits of a neutral policy rate, with one additional rate hike anticipated this year and three in 2019. The result will be to increase borrowing costs for would-be homeowners as the less accommodative monetary policy boosts mortgage rates. Although the Fed has far more influence over short-term yields, long-term rates have recently ticked up. From October 19, 2017, to October 11, 2018, mortgage rates rose a full percentage point – 3.9% to 4.9%. The increase in mortgage rates will result in less purchasing power for would-be homeowners and will likely cause a bit of cooling in prices at the upper end of the market.

Permitting activity for residential units has been tepid; through the first half of 2018 there were 316 residential construction permits issued in first half of 2018, down 52% from the first half of 2017. In other words, new construction will have little impact on local real estate market inventories in the near term. Limited inventories of homes for sale have driven price appreciation and kept sales activity in check. The cooling of home resales will also create moderation in price appreciation for both new and existing homes on the market. Through the first half of 2018, sales of existing single-family homes increased 1.4% from the first half of 2017. Sales for existing single-family homes rose 5.6% year to year, although the increase was due to an above-average surge in sales in the second quarter of 2018. New home sales advanced nicely through the first half of the year, with a 6.3% increase from the first half of 2017, but new home sales are a very small segment of the overall market and growth tends to fluctuate because of the small number of transactions. Lastly, condo sales were down 7.9% year to year in the first half of 2018 and, similar to new homes, account only for a small share of overall market transactions. Despite a mixed outlook for the local real estate market, local fundamentals remain intact. The chart above shows the ratio of inflation-adjusted home prices to inflation-adjusted per capita personal income, which includes income that is received from all sources. This ratio is a good way to visualize how far removed housing costs can be from Limited construction activity in the current year will have little effect on the upward trend in the median price of a home. Absent any significant policy changes, we expect sales activity to remain between 3,200 and 3,600 in the near term and price appreciation to advance at a slower rate of 5% to 6%. Both major gubernatorial candidates, Gavin Newsom and John Cox, have campaigned on making housing in California more affordable by increasing construction, but such changes are unlikely to occur in the near term. Beacon will monitor the situation and adjust its outlook accordingly as new policy changes are implemented.

An index close to 9 is roughly normal for San Luis Obispo County. By comparison, the United States index has hovered below 7 for the last decade. During the early part of the housing bubble in the 2000s, price appreciation accelerated by double digits. At that time, the price-to-income ratio ballooned nearly 70% to just below 16 at the height of the expansion and before a much-needed correction brought the market back to a reality driven by fundamentals and not speculation. Today, although prices have surpassed their nominal prerecession peak, when adjusted for inflation and local incomes, housing doesn’t appear to be out of touch with reality the way it was in 2006. As of the second quarter of 2018, the median nominal price of an existing single-family house in San Luis Obispo County was 2.7% above its prerecession peak; but adjusted for inflation, home prices in the County are still 20.6% below their prerecession peak.

A long-standing fixture of the economy and a growing concern for the California Public Utilities Commission, Diablo Canyon was facing an inevitable exit as cost-efficient renewable energy renders nuclear power economically infeasible 1. Diablo Canyon has roughly a $1 billion impact on the local economy, employing around 1,500 people directly2 Following the success of California Senate Bill 100 – a bill that effectively targets 50% renewable energy by 2026, 60% renewable energy by 2030, and 100% carbon-free energy by 20453 – nuclear power has systematically been phased out. An initial local concern about the Diablo Canyon closure has been that a lot of high-salary earners will be out of a job; in 2014, the mean salary at the PG&E owned plant was $157,0004. Questions have arisen as to how these employees, as well as the surrounding community, will be affected by the closure of Diablo Canyon. However, in September 2018, Governor Brown signed another bill into law, SB 1090, which requires the California Public Utilities Commission to approve an $85 million settlement for community impact mitigation and $395 million towards PG&E’s employee retention program. The bill also contains language voicing caution regarding the 2013 closure of the San Onofre nuclear plant. Acting preemptively, language in Section 3 of the bill asserts that the electricity that is to replace the electricity generated by Diablo Canyon shall not cause an increase in the emissions of greenhouse gasses5. Also, a bill signed into law by President Donald Trump in September, HR 5895, targets situations such as the closure of Diablo Canyon and helps procure funds for community impact mitigation6. 1Climatenexus.

The County’s nonfarm payrolls grew 1.3% (1,500 jobs) from September 2017 to September 2018, down from 2.1% over the same period a year earlier. Private-sector payrolls expanded 1.6% over the period, trailing the statewide pace of 2.1% and down from 2.5% one year ago. This puts the County behind private-sector job growth in Monterey County (3.2%) but well ahead of Santa Barbara County (0.3%) and Ventura County (0.8%). Sustained gains in payroll jobs have helped drive the unemployment rate down to 2.8% — well below the 4.1% mark in the State overall and the lowest rate for the County on record. The low unemployment rate in the region reflects the tight labor market: The labor force remained unchanged from the last year, and as a result, private payrolls grew in part by attracting workers from nearby counties. With the lack of labor force expansion, it will be difficult for the County to maintain economic growth unless it continues to draw workers from beyond its boundaries. Although the labor market in San Luis Obispo County will continue to grow, the region faces challenges going forward. Low affordability of housing, from rental units for workers to homes that cater to middle- and upper-middle-income households, remains an ever- present issue. Builders often face challenging hurdles to development. Local companies are also finding it difficult to offer wages comparable to those in the Bay Area and Southern California. As a result, San Luis Obispo County struggles to attract highly skilled talent and new graduates of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo who are recruited by companies elsewhere. These factors are making it difficult for firms to get both high- and low-skilled workers they need to expand. by Brian Vanderplas, Beacon Economics LLC Packet Pg. 708 28 29 Industry Level Growth Despite the region’s tightening labor market, growth trends span a variety of sectors in San Luis Obispo County. • Leisure and Hospitality was responsible for the largest absolute number of new jobs. From September 2017 to September 2018, the sector increased payrolls 3.4% (600 jobs), just behind the 3.5% growth in the State over the period. These continued gains should not come as a surprise given the region’s growing status as a premier tourist destination. In addition, the City of Paso Robles is exploring constructing a large-scale conference center at the Paso Robles Event Center. 3 • The County’s Education and Health Care sector is also continuing to expand at a robust pace. From September 2017 to September 2018, the sector increased payrolls 3.6% (600 jobs). A significant portion of the growth in this industry can be attributed to San Luis Obispo County’s population, which has a higher average age than the State’s and relatively more health care needs: 19.4% of the County’s population is over 65, compared with 13.9% of the State population. This number increased 3.1 percentage points from 16.3% in 2011, part of a broader national trend. 1 Finucane, S., Leslie, K., & Sneed, D. (June 22, 2016).

Retrieved from http://www.kcbx.org/post/san-luis-obispo-county-may-get-26-million-convention-center#stream/0 In the coming years, the region will face another significant challenge: the closing of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. Although the facility will not officially close until 2025, the shutdown will bring sweeping changes to San Luis Obispo County’s economy. The plant employs nearly 1,500 workers with an average annual salary above $150,000, according to 2014 figures.1 It is important to note, however, that all these jobs will not be lost immediately; the plant will employ a significant contingent of engineers and other workers during the plant’s decommissioning phase. But it will ultimately take a strong collaboration between the private and public sectors to create development strategies to foster growth in other sectors of San Luis Obispo County’s economy. A bill guaranteeing $85 million to help mitigate the impact of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant closure was recently passed by the state Assembly, which should help shore up local coffers in the coming years.2 • The Natural Resource and Construction sector also had a strong year, building on its gains from 2016 and 2017. From September 2017 to September 2018, the sector expanded 3.6% (300 jobs), a slowdown from the 5.4% growth over the same period a year earlier. Sustained construction activity is fueling these gains. From the first half of 2017 to the first half of 2018, sales tax revenue from Building and Construction increased 5.1% in the County, outpacing the 3.5% increase in the State overall. • Manufacturing also continues to be a strong source of new jobs in San Luis Obispo County; payrolls expanded 3.8% (300 jobs) over the year, a slowdown from the 5.7% growth over the same period a year earlier. In contrast, Manufacturing payroll levels remained level in the State overall from September 2017 to September 2018. The types of new jobs reflect how closely the Manufacturing sector is linked to the region’s farms and vineyards. According to the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, beverage manufacturing (which includes wineries) is the largest Manufacturing subsector in San Luis Obispo County, accounting for nearly 1 in 4 positions. Employment levels at beverage firms were also up significantly, increasing 14.2% (289 jobs) from the first quarter of 2017 to the first quarter of 2018. • Although payrolls in most San Luis Obispo County industries expanded over the year, jobs declined in some sectors, with Retail Trade shedding 300 and Professional and Business Services losing 200 positions. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - EMPLOYMENT 2018 CCEF FORECAST - EMPLOYMENT Packet Pg. 709 30 31 City-Level Growth At the city level, San Luis Obispo County has had widespread growth. From the third quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2017, the City of San Luis Obispo gained the highest number of jobs, increasing payrolls 2.6% (1,350 jobs). In percentage terms, Paso Robles led the way, increasing payrolls 4.9% (861 jobs). Other coastal communities were a mixed bag last year, with payrolls increasing 4.0% in Arroyo Grande (357 jobs) and 0.2% in Grover Beach (eight jobs), while payrolls fell 0.5% in Pismo Beach Bay (22 jobs) and 0.5% in Morro Bay (20 jobs). The more inland regions of the County also posted gains, with payrolls increasing 3.1% in the County’s Unincorporated Areas (551 jobs) and 1.2% in Atascadero (110 jobs).4 City Employment YoY Change (#)YoY Change (%) San Luis Obispo 54,132 1,350 2.6 Paso Robles 18,449 861 4.9 Unincorporated 18,556 551 3.1 Arroyo Grande 9,319 357 4.0 Atascadero 9,337 110 1.2 Grover Beach 3,475 8 0.2 Morro Bay 3,693 -20 -0.5 Pismo Beach 4,066 -22 -0.5 SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY EMPLOYMENT BY CITY Source: California Employment Development Department; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC From 2012 to 2016, the unemployment rate in San Luis Obispo County averaged 5.5%, according to the American Community Survey from the U.S. Census Bureau, though this rate varied across the County.5 Atascadero (4.2%), Grover Beach (4.2%), Pismo Beach (4.5%), Arroyo Grande (4.7%) and San Luis Obispo (4.9%) had unemployment rates well below the County’s, but Morro Bay (6.2%) and Paso Robles (5.9%) sustained higher unemployment. Still, the unemployment rates across San Luis Obispo’s cities were lower than the statewide rate of 8.7% over the five- year period. Business Formation Consistent with gains in region’s labor market, business formation in San Luis Obispo County continued in 2017. According to the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, the number of establishments grew overall and across a broad range of sectors. More than 162 businesses were begun in 2017, representing a 1.9% increase from 2016 and a slowdown from the 2.2% growth from 2015 to 2016. The 1.9% increase trails the State’s, where establishments increased 3.0% over the period. • At the industry level, the Health Care sector posted the largest gains in 2017, adding 52 firms. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - EMPLOYMENT 2018 CCEF FORECAST - EMPLOYMENT Industry Sep-18 YoY Change (#) YoY Change (%) Total Nonfarm 118.9 1.5 1.3 Farm 5.2 -0.2 -3.3 Government 24.2 0.0 0.2 Leisure and Hospitality 19.7 0.6 3.4 Education/Health 16.2 0.6 3.6 Retail Trade 14.0 -0.3 -2.4 Professional/Business 10.5 -0.2 -2.2 NR/Construction 7.9 0.3 3.6 Manufacturing 7.6 0.3 3.8 Other Services 6.2 0.0 -0.3 Transport,Warehouse,Util. 3.9 0.0 0.1 Wholesale Trade 3.0 0.2 7.0 Finance and Insurance 2.3 0.0 -0.2 Real Estate 2.0 0.1 5.1 Information 1.4 0.0 -0.4 SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY EMPLOYMENT BY INDUSTRY Source: California Employment Development Department; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC 4City-level employment data are based upon the latest available period, the third quarter of 2017. 5City-level unemployment rate data are based upon the latest available period, from 2012 to 2016. Packet Pg. 710 32 33 • Other sectors posting sizable gains for the year included Accommodation & Food (21 firms), Finance & Insurance (17), Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (16) and Logistics (13). These figures should not come as a surprise given the continued growth in Construction and Leisure and Hospitality over the year. • In percentage terms, Logistics (13.6%), Management (9.6%) and Finance & Insurance (4.4%) led the way. • In addition, Unclassified Firms6 accounted for 52 of the new companies in the region in 2017. These firms will be classified in the coming quarters, providing a clearer picture of business formation. Wages Although private employment growth in San Luis Obispo County is outpacing the State’s, overall wages have increased more slowly. From 2016 to 2017, wages in San Luis Obispo County grew an average of 3.3%, to $45,796, trailing the 4.6% growth in the State overall. County wage growth trailed Monterey County (3.7%) and Santa Barbara County (3.6%) but was well ahead of Ventura County (1.5%). • Average annual wages increased across most industries in San Luis Obispo County in 2017. More importantly, with a historically low unemployment rate and a shortage of workers, there should be upward pressure on wages over the coming year. • The Information sector posted the largest year-over-year gain, with average annual wages increasing just over 10.9% from 2016 to 2017. • Professional and Business Services also had a strong year. From 2016 to 2017, wages grew 9.5% in Administrative Support, 8.4% in Professional, Scientific and Technical Services and 7.6% in Management. These sectors incorporate many skill sets and indicate wage gains are being felt across a wide range of income brackets. • Other sectors posting meaningful gains in 2017 were some of San Luis Obispo County’s fastest-growing in 2017 and 2018: Construction (4.5%), Health Care (3.5%) and Accommodations & Food (3.1%). More importantly, these sectors also represent a significant share of the County’s overall workforce and so these wage gains are being felt across the bulk of households in the region. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - EMPLOYMENT 2018 CCEF FORECAST - EMPLOYMENT AVERAGE ANNUAL WAGES Selected Metropolitan Areas and California, 1990 to 2017 Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC 60 30 40 50 70 Do l l a r s ( 0 0 0 s ) 1990 1993 1996 1999 2002 2005 Monterey County Santa Barbara County San Luis Obispo County California 20 Ventura County 2008 2011 2014 2017 6 Firms awaiting a NAICS industry classification from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Packet Pg. 711 34 35 Top-level indictors of business activity in San Luis Obispo County suggest that 2017 and 2018 were a mixed bag. Local spending slowed in 2018, increasing just 0.4% from the first half of 2017 to the first half of 2018. The driving force behind this slowdown was a decline in Business and Industry spending. This was partially offset, however, by increased spending on Building and Construction, which grew significantly over the period. Despite this year’s slow start, 2017 was a strong year for the region, with economic output in San Luis Obispo County increasing 1.7% in real terms from 2016. Although this growth trailed the State’s (3.0%), San Luis Obispo led the Central Coast in 2017. Several sectors had strong years, with Administrative Support growing 10.8% and Professional, Scientific and Technical Services expanding 10.5%, with each contributing significantly to the County’s overall growth. Tourism also had a strong year in 2017, with a record number of travelers at San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport. Moreover, 2018 is shaping up to be an even stronger year for the airport; traffic through August was up 21.2% over the same period in 2017. Although we expect that business activity will continue to grow, the region faces several challenges. Most pressing is a lack of affordable housing, which will limit growth. Although construction activity has picked up recently, the housing stock has still not grown enough to meet the long-run needs of the County’s growing population and employment base. Another challenge is the pending closure of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. Indeed, because the plant generates over $1 billion in estimated economic activity each year, the County will need to focus on developing and expanding other industries1. 1http://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/article85204657.html 2018 CCEF FORECAST - BUSINESS ACTIVITY 2018 CCEF FORECAST - BUSINESS ACTIVITY Business Activity Overview by Brian Vanderplas, Beacon Economics LLC Packet Pg. 712 36 37 Sales tax revenue in San Luis Obispo County increased a modest 0.4% from the first half of 2017 to the first half of 2018. Sales tax growth in San Luis Obispo County trails the other Central Coast counties (Monterey, Santa Barbara and Ventura) and is well behind the 3.6% statewide pace. But consumer and business spending has been volatile in recent years. This year’s slower pace of growth compared with the State’s comes on the heels of a more robust 3.7% increase from 2016 to 2017, outpacing the State’s 3.5% increase over the period.

Sales tax from Business and Industry fell 22.2% from the first half of 2017 to the first half of 2018. • Despite the decrease in Business and Industry spending, businesses are continuing to invest in the County, notably on construction projects. From the first half of 2017 to the first half of 2018, sales tax from Building and Construction grew 10.1%, adding to the 10.5% increase from 2016 to 2017. This mirrors the continued gains in Construction sector payrolls the County has enjoyed over the last year. • Consumer-driven sectors were mixed. With gasoline prices beginning to stabilize, sales tax revenue at Fuel and Services Stations rose 8.5% from the first half of 2017 to the first half of 2018, building on the 7.4% increase from 2016 to 2017. • Sales tax revenue from Restaurants and Hotels (1.0%) and Food and Drug Stores (0.3%) also rose steadily in the first half of 2018. But sales taxes collected from Autos and Transportation (-2.5%) and General Consumer Goods (-0.3%) declined during the first half of 2018.

Arroyo Grande led the way, with taxable sales increasing 7.5% from 2016 to 2017. Taxable sales in the County’s largest city, San Luis Obispo, grew a more modest 4.6% from 2016 to 2017. Other cities with sizable growth over the period were Morro Bay (6.1%), Paso Robles (5.7%) and Atascadero (5.7%). The only cities whose tax base failed to grow was Grover Beach (-1.6%) and Pismo Beach (-0.3%), but taxable sales grew in both these cities from 2015 to 2017. • Although we expect taxable sales to continue to grow, consumer spending will increase more modestly in the County compared with the State as population growth lags other parts of California. As such, the County must rely on continued growth in business activity and tourism. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - BUSINESS ACTIVITY 2018 CCEF FORECAST - BUSINESS ACTIVITY Packet Pg. 713 38 39 Economic activity in San Luis Obispo County grew 1.7% from 2016 to 2017, outpacing growth in Monterey (1.1%), Santa Barbara (1.6%) and Ventura (-0.4%) counties.

These high-skilled sectors will be pivotal to the County’s growth pattern, and continued expansion will be necessary to attract talent from the Bay Area and Southern California. But, as mentioned, local companies are finding it difficult to offer wages comparable to those in the Bay Area. Other sectors posting sizable 2017 gains in output were Finance and Insurance (5.6%), Health Care (5.0%) and Retail Trade (3.4%). • A handful of sectors had pullbacks in production in 2017. Declines were most pronounced in the Education Services sector, which fell 2.7%. Utilities (-1.8%) and Manufacturing (-1.2%) also declined. Although the region faces a number of headwinds, we expect it will continue to grow at a stable pace over the next year. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - BUSINESS ACTIVITY 2018 CCEF FORECAST - BUSINESS ACTIVITY Packet Pg. 714 40 41 As the region draws more visitors each year, hospitality and tourism are becoming a bigger part of the County economy. This is evident in the record year for San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport in 2017. A record-breaking 407,646 passengers traveled through the airport in 2017, a 23.4% increaser over 2016 levels, making the airport the fifth-fastest-growing airport in the nation. 2Moreover, 2018 is shaping up to be another record year. Through the first eight months of 2018, passenger traffic was up 21.2% over 2017’s record-setting levels. 3 The County is an easy-to-reach destination from the dense population centers in the Bay Area and in Southern California just a few hours away. Moreover, the County’s variety of amenities and activities ensures that many tourists will visit the region more than once. • Through August 2018, average daily room rates in San Luis Obispo County were 2.0% higher than during the same period in 2017. Room rates rose most steeply in San Luis Obispo (4.1%) and along the Northern Coast (1.9%), while rates in Paso Robles (0.8%) and Pismo Beach (0.55%) grew more modestly. Hospitality & Tourism • Occupancy rates were also a mixed bag in 2018, falling 0.3 percentage point, to 73.1%. Occupancy along the Northern Coast grew 0.8 percentage point, to 63.0%, and occupancy rates in Pismo Beach grew 0.3 percentage point, to 73.7%. In contrast, occupancy rates in San Luis Obispo fell 1.4 percentage point to 77.7%, and occupancy rates in Paso Robles fell 0.5 percentage point, to 73.9%. • With average daily rates growing and occupancy rates falling, revenue per available room grew only 1.6% in 2018. Despite this modest growth, increases were spread across the county. The Northern Coast led the way, with revenue per available growing 3.3%, followed by San Luis Obispo (2.2%), Pismo Beach (1.0%) and Paso Robles (0.1%). • Perhaps more important, when more leisure travelers are drawn to the region, they spend at local attractions, restaurants and stores. This is evident in the 3.4% increase in Leisure and Hospitality employment from September 2017 to September 2018 and the continued increases in spending at Restaurants and Hotels. The region is also looking to be a bigger draw for business travelers, with the City of Paso Robles exploring constructing a large-scale conference center at the Paso Robles Event Center.4 2San Luis Obispo Airport ranked seventh-fastest growing airport in North America.

The official end of the drought in April 2017 did not boost crop yield or value that year relative to 2016. Real output from the agricultural sector and crop exports were also disappointing in 2017. Even so, farm employment increased decently as the drought ended. Moreover, there had been a shift toward higher-value crops, such as wine grapes and strawberries, that pay higher wages. So far, 2018 has had drier weather than the post-drought period of 2017. Conservation efforts are going to be permanent in San Luis Obispo County and in California as a whole. Although California’s drought ended in April 2017, 1wetter weather in the remainder of that year did not translate to higher crop yield compared with 2016, when the drought was in full effect. Gross crop output was flat in 2017. The gross value of San Luis Obispo County’s agricultural industry totaled $924.7 million in 2017, down 0.5% from 2016.2 The Animal sector (5.6%) was the only category whose gross value increased in 2017. Gross values in other categories tapered off modestly: Field Crops (-0.6%), Nursery (-4.8%), Fruit and Nut (-0.3%) and Vegetable (-0.9%). In fact, after the drought, San Luis Obispo County had wet weather in late 2017,3 which complicated the timing for planting vegetable crops, resulting in a 17.6% decline in vegetable crop yield (in harvested acreage) over 2016. San Luis Obispo County’s inflation-adjusted output (gross metropolitan product) from its agricultural sector declined modestly in 2017. But the percentage decline was less severe than it was statewide. Farm employment held steady in 2017, but there was a shift in farm labor toward more profitable fruit and nut crops and a labor shortage in general. Despite the challenges of the drought recovery, wide fluctuations in weather and labor shortages, the County’s agricultural producers remained key contributors to the regional and State economies in 2017.

The Vegetable Crop category had the largest drop in yield (-17.6%) of all agricultural products in 2017. • The vegetable crops’ aggregated value decreased less than 1% from 2016, mostly through a significant increase in crop value per unit. * For example, although yields for cauliflower (-15.9%) and celery (-19.0%) were significantly lower in 2017, the respective crop gross values actually increased 21.2% and 36.7% because of a 44.1% and 68.8% price surge per ton, respectively. • Winter rain was the main contributor to the reduced vegetable crop yields. • Another factor was the continuing labor shortage. Labor-intensive crops — vegetable crops such as broccoli (-30.9%), head lettuce (-28.7%), edible pod peas (-48.4%) and citrus fruits such as lemons (-10.8%) — had the largest drops in yields in 2017 relative to 2016.

Although there is a general worker shortage in agriculture, the shortage in vegetable crops may be due to a shift to wine grapes and strawberries, which pay higher wages5 and also are the two crops with the highest gross values in San Luis Obispo County. • Given that farm work is low-paying and mostly done by immigrants, San Luis Obispo County and California as a whole are expected to face continuous labor shortages in the agricultural sector amid high housing costs and the federal administration’s unwelcoming stance toward immigrants. • Particularly in San Luis Obispo County, the chronic undersupply of workers is made worse by insufficient housing.6 Industry Outlook After the Drought Although the drought officially ended in April 2017, California has once again had dry weather in 2018. • As of Oct. 2, 2018, much of Southern, Central Coast and Central California was experiencing moderate to severe drought, with Imperial County in extreme drought. Southwest San Luis Obispo County is in severe drought, and the rest of the County is having either abnormally dry weather or moderate drought.7 • Abnormal dryness or drought is affecting 93% of the state’s population, 34.6 million people.8 • Conservation efforts are going to be a permanent condition in California. The next drought is not a question of if, but when.

Packet Pg. 721 54 55 2018 CCEF FORECAST - RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE 2018 CCEF FORECAST - RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE Permitting has been disappointing so far in 2018. Just 316 residential construction permits were issued in the first half of 2018, down 52% from the first half of 2017. • 234 single-family permits were issued in the first half of 2018, down 35% from a year earlier. • Only 82 multifamily permits were issued in the first half of 2018, down 73%. This is troubling news given the extremely low apartment vacancy rate. • Almost half (47%) of the single-family construction permits were issued in the unincorporated areas of the County. Yet this is a 48% decrease from the same period in 2017. o San Luis Obispo, the County’s largest city, had the largest number of single-family construction permits issued (43). • New Cal Poly San Luis Obispo dormitories opened in September, providing housing for about 1,475 first-year students,9 or almost one-third of the 2018 freshman class.10 o This new student housing may help ease the low apartment vacancy rate in the City of San Luis Obispo but does little to alleviate the very tight rental market that pervades the County as a whole. San Luis Obispo’s permitting activity is low not just compared with one year ago but also compared with the State and elsewhere in the Central Coast. • Statewide, 12% more residential construction permits were issued in the first six months of 2018 than the same period in 2017. Residential permits were up 43% in Monterey County and down 29% in Santa Barbara County during the same period. • The drop in residential permits in San Luis Obispo County was similar to that in Ventura County (-48%). • At the city level, only San Luis Obispo had more permits issued for both single- and multifamily in the first half of 2018 than in the first half of 2017. • Pismo Beach was the only other city in San Luis Obispo County with any multifamily construction permits issued in the first half of 2018.

As you can imagine, there are many opinions on how to address the problem and those discussions often come with associated and heated politics. A number of differences between the City of San Luis Obispo and North County markets are discussed below. San Luis Obispo The average price for a home in the City of San Luis Obispo is approximately $450 per square foot. This is an increase from $410 last year. In addition, the homes that have been selling are larger—now averaging over two thousand square feet. Construction time for a new single family residence has pushed out from 6 to 9 months. All in all, this translates to approximately $937,000 for the average (median $800,500) new home is San Luis Obispo. There were approximately 258 units sold through the third quarter of 2018. Needless to say, not everyone can afford these prices and many residents commute from more affordable areas such as Santa Maria, South San Luis Obispo County, and North County. North County In the North County the residential market sales volume has decreased to 916 single family units from 978 units last year. Average prices have increased from $534,500 to $575,000 ($521,250 median price) for a 1,900 sq. ft. house—approximately $302 per sq. ft. In short, compared to last year, in the North County, as in San Luis Obispo, home sales are more expensive, larger, and the overall number of sales has decreased slightly. Housing Related Projects in the City of San Luis Obispo There is noticeable construction within the City of San Luis Obispo and in immediate surrounding areas. Noted projects at or near completion include: • The Avivo Townhome project is in its final phase west of Sacramento Street. • Sierra Meadows and Toscano, off Prado Road, are actively moving through their phases for single-family detached homes. • Wingate Homes, Righetti Ranch, the Jones Property, and West Creek – all located in the Orcutt Area Specific Plan – are proceeding through construction. • Chinatown is partially completed. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE Commercial Real Estate Key Issues: by Steve McCarty and Steve Davis, McCarty Davis Commercial Real Estate Confidence in Commercial Real Estate Increased Construction Costs Rising Interest Rates, Recession Worries?

Upcoming projects still include: • Avila Ranch, on Buckley south of the County Airport, has been approved for 720 units. • San Luis Ranch, the former Dalidio project, has been approved for 580 homes plus hotel and commercial space. • The Junction, 69 residential units and approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of commercial space on Santa Barbara Street by Miners is on the books. • Numerous other projects are also working their way through the planning and design pipeline.

City of San Luis Obispo Office Office vacancy has inched slightly downward from 5.4% in 2017 to 4.2% this year. Base inventory is approximately 2,969,200 sq. ft. Approximately 35,900 sq.ft. of inventory was added this last year. Leasing activity has been vibrant. Office space, which has been the slowest market segment to absorb, has been filling up. The reduction in vacancy has reduced the number of office space options for tenants. Second generation spaces are leasing at lower rates than new construction. However, spaces over 5,000 sq. ft. are difficult to find and tenants have been turning to new construction to meet their needs. The Broad Street corridor from Tank Farm Road to the East Airport area has been the focus of new commercial activity with a mix of user types. Harris’ new legal offices have just been added at a prominent Broad Street location. Meathead Movers are moving their offices to a new building across from the airport. At 892 Aerovista, approximately 36,000 sq. ft of office space has just been completed and fully occupied, filled mainly by medical and financial tenants. The Airport Business Center has been absorbing to the point where its ownership has triggered construction of the next phase of development. New market base rents for these assets are approximately $2.25 per sq. ft NNN (with some dollars being given for Tenant Improvements). Given land costs, fees, and increasing construction costs, any new office buildings coming on to the market will be $2.00+ per sq. ft., NNN. In addition to the cost of shell construction, TI costs for office build-outs have moved up to the $100+/sq. ft range. Medical users have been a big part of the new absorption and activity. Two large medical users account for over 60% of the occupancy at 892 Aerovista. Most recently, the older 30,500 sq. ft. medical campus on California Boulevard sold for $5,683,750 ($186.35 per sq. ft.) and will be given new life through updating. Additional square footage will be built there as well. Larger medical providers are continuing with strategic additions and consolidations with their various clinics. Generally, office sale prices in the San Luis Obispo area in the $300 - $400+ /sq. ft. range. A nicely finished, first floor suite (1,379 sq. ft.) at 805 Aerovista sold this spring for $515,000, or $373/sq. ft. On the larger side (18,447 sq. ft.), 3701 South Higuera St. sold for $5,600,000, which translates to $304 per sq. ft. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE Packet Pg. 724 60 61 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE Retail Retail vacancy in the City of San Luis Obispo remains relatively low (5.0%), and has increased a percentage point over last year. Hardly any new stock has been added and the present retail inventory base is approximately 4,189,400 sq. ft. When the retail vacancy data is parsed, it is interesting to note that the larger vacant spaces, formerly housing the likes of Gotthshalks’s and Staples, have created the bulk of the vacancy, while smaller square footages, 5,000 sq. ft. and under, have, for the most part, been faring well. There is turnover in these spaces, but new tenants generally follow within a reasonable time frame. The larger brick and mortar vacancy issues with national and regional tenants are the fall-out of changing consumer trends and continued growth in online retail sales. The former Sears and Forever 21 have been broken up and are currently being renovated into a greater number of new users with smaller footprints. Downtown SLO Downtown San Luis Obispo is an iconic location for both tourists and locals. The demand for ownership of downtown assets remains robust and larger properties, when they become available, create strong interest. This last year the Naman properties went on the market and there were immediately multiple buyers. The mid-downtown, multi- building asset of approximately 19,300 sq. ft., reportedly sold for $13,125,000 or approximately $680 per sq. ft. of usable area. By way of comparison, a 12,930 sq. ft. building in the same block, 736 Higuera, sold for $5,199,600, or approximately $402 per sq. ft. There remains a vitality to downtown San Luis Obispo as other community’s downtowns have experienced increasing vacancies and diminution of their former cache. Industrial It is difficult for users to find industrial space in San Luis Obispo. The vacancy has declined slightly from an already previous low of 1.4%, and for 2018, stands at 1.28%. Very little inventory has been added to the market, approximately 70,700 sq. ft., and there is not much in the pipeline so we anticipate another year of low vacancy. Lockheed has informed their landlord that they will be vacating the 80,000 sq.ft. they currently occupy and demand for the space has been strong. The standing inventory of industrial space has just tipped over the 4,000,000 sq. ft. mark. Space availability over 15,000 sq. ft. is virtually absent from the market. Rents are about the same as last year with quoted industrial rents in the $.80 – $1.25 per sq. ft. NNN range depending on the size of the space. The East Airport area of San Luis Obispo has seen the strongest concentration of industrial growth in the past few years. Parcel sales in that area have demonstrated values over $20 per sq. ft.

Office vacancy, just short of doubling, has moved upward from 7.8% to 13.5% in 2018. There is now approximately 59,528 sq. ft. of standing inventory on the market; this is on a base of approximately 442,000 sq. ft. and again, minimal office inventory has been added. Small office buildings are selling for between $200 and $300 per sq. ft. Community Health Centers is constructing new medical offices in Templeton of approximately 26,000 sq. ft. As they occupy the new facility they will transition from their current offices, vacating medical space that will need to be filled. Given current conversations, there appear to be a number of medical groups interested in occupying the space. Industrial Paso Robles’ industrial space, although close to holding constant, is showing slight improvement with a 5.1% vacancy rate for 2018, down from 5.8% in 2017. There is approximately 180,200 sq. ft. of space currently available. Base inventory has grown slightly to approximately 3,530,000 sq. ft. for 2018. An interesting aspect of the market is that available space has been absorbed quickly. The former Paris Precision building of approximately 200,000 sq. ft. went vacant, was purchased, broken down into multiple sections, and mostly leased out within the year. The majority of the new inventory-added vacancies that have been absorbed have been related to viticulture as wineries and support industries continue to expand. Land values for small, finished parcels in east Paso Robles are still in the $5.00 to $10.00/sq. ft. range. The City of Paso Robles sold two parcels comprising 1.4 acres, both positioned for redevelopment/better futures. One on Riverside Drive (acre +), and a small ancillary parcel near downtown, sold for $1,525,000 to a local businessman/investor. At just land values alone, this works out to approximately $25 per sq. ft.

It currently has a base of approximately 4,650,000 sq. ft. Not much retail inventory has been added since last year, similar to prior years. The retail vacancy rate was very low in 2017 (1.1%) and has ticked up to 2.63% in 2018. The approximate 122,092 sq. ft. of vacancy is comprised mostly of small spaces. As noted in the San Luis Obispo segment, retail is continuing to evolve and bigger units are trending to go dark. The 47,000 sq. ft. Orchard Supply Hardware on Theater Drive has posted closing signs. Packet Pg. 726 64 65 Hotels in San Luis Obispo and North County The many hospitality projects that were entitled are now moving through the building phase and signs of their construction are apparent. A number of hospitality properties have sold this last year. Among the most notable are: 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE Row Crops This past year approximately 230 acres of row crops sold in South County for $6,500,000. In the break-out of farmable and non-farmable ground, farmable ground was valued at approximately $51,500 per acre. Vineyard Sales North County had a number of key vineyard sales this last year: 3330 Pleasant Road $8,500,000 149 ac Four Palms Vineyards $16,838,500 98.2 ac Shandon Valley Vineyards $20,656,000 204 ac Shell Creek Road $36,700,000 68 ac In breaking down sales, the general guidelines are as follows: East Side Paso Robles runs in the low $40,000s to $50,000/ac. A recent outlier in Shandon reported $74,000/ac. West Side sales have been at $50,000/ac and up. There was recently a West Side sale at $100,000/ac for a small vineyard. Break-outs for actual farmable ground can be very complex as there is often a residential component included as part of the vineyard asset. San Simeon Quality Inn - San Simeon $5,000,000 Paso Robles Courtyard Marriott $15,000,000 456 Embarcadero - Morro Bay $10,000,000 Commercial Investments Already low capitalization rates, commonly called “Caps” or “Cap Rates”, have been similar to last year. Historically, higher valuations have been centered around San Luis Obispo with values softening as they radiate outward, like concentric circles. Now, with the difficulty of finding investment properties, the cap rates have become similar over geographic areas. Determining a cap rate has become more of an art than science. Exchange monies have led to further exchanges. Transactions have occurred across the board: apartments, self- storage, office, retail, hotels, mobile home parks, viticulture—and each with their own metrics for valuation. With greater variability by product type, it is becoming more difficult to assign a cap rate predominately by location. Examples of commercial buildings: 1704 Spring St.4,800 sq. ft. $1,050,000 approximate 5.3 cap 4120 Horizon 8,600 sq. ft. $1,650,000 approximate 6.1 cap 445 Higuera St.7,000 sq. ft. $2,200,000 approximate 6.5 cap 7 Archer St.8,304 sq.ft $3,085,000 approximate 5.8 cap (imputed) 2238 Broad St. 9,938 sq. ft $3,500,000 approximate 4.8 cap 3195 McMillian 14,152 sq. ft. $2,900,000 approximate 6 cap 3701 S Higuera 18,447 sq. ft $5,600,000 approximate 6.9 cap 1135 Santa Rosa 11,780 sq. ft $7,350,000 approximate 4.2 cap Appraisers have been wrestling with a larger variance in cap rates as investors seek out specific investments in smaller areas. This deemphasizes the investment location somewhat and puts more emphasis on the type of investment or franchisee, giving cap rates a wider range. These assets were selling between 7 and 8 caps. Hospitality cap rates are typically higher than non operational assets where there is no associated business or operational component. 65 Packet Pg. 727 66 67 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE Apartment Notes In 2018, there were five sales between $1,200,000 and $4,000,000 and numerous sales below the $1,000,000 threshold. In their analysis these cap rates are typically between 3 and 4s. Following are demonstrated capitalization rate ranges over the last fifteen years for the Central Coast market area: 2002 9.0 to 9.5 2003 7.0 to 8.0 2004 6.5 to 7.5 2005 5.5 to 6.5 2006 4.5 to 6.5 2007 5 to 7 2008 4.5 to 8 2009 5.5 to 9 2010 6.5 to 9 2011 5.5 to 9.7 2012 5.5 to 8.5 2013 5.5 to 8.5 2014 4.5 to 8.5 2015 4.5 to 7.0 2016 4.0 to 6.5 2017 4.0 to 6.5 2018 4.0 to 6.5 Cannabis Activity Cannabis activity on the Central Coast continues to be an interesting market segment to follow. Last year saw a bit of the “Wild West” syndrome play out as Grover Beach moved to license both dispensaries and other cannabis related activities. Property values in the industrial area rose from roughly $150/sq. ft. to over $500/sq. ft. for buildings. Prices have now fallen back into a range of about $300/sq. ft. Lease rates for cannabis related businesses are in the $2.00 - $3.00/sq. ft. range. This has caused the migration of many businesses that had occupied the Grover Beach industrial area to other locations. The City of Grover Beach approved four dispensary operators and it appears that only two of those operators/ locations will actually operate. This is not uncommon in the industry as this product has attracted a wide range of people with various backgrounds and financial and business capabilities. The City of San Luis Obispo has been patient in forming their cannabis ordinances and appears to be the only City in the County that will allow a retail, non-medical dispensary to operate (they have discussed allowing two such dispensaries). The County has approved their Land Use Designations which has forced many existing operations to cease as they are no longer are allowed to cultivate at their current locations. There has recently been a surge in demand for smaller non-cultivation related (manufacturing, testing, distribution, etc.) activities in the County. Packet Pg. 728 68 69 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE 2018 CCEF FORECAST - COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE Conclusion Continuing confidence in commercial real estate over the last five years is a precursor to, “when will this change” conversations. There are various changes occurring that could affect commercial real estate over the coming year. Interest rates are rising although it is not clear how significant of an impact that will have on continued growth. But the higher rates for loans will affect cash flows and affordability. Mixed-use projects are becoming more common in both proposed plans as well as in terms of interest from buyers. There is strong interest from developers for housing projects as well. We are, however, seeing some developers putting entitled projects up for sale, causing one to wonder how long they see strong growth in jobs and incomes continuing. Increased housing costs are a key factor in determining where people live and work. High housing costs are causing problems for employers and affecting their ability to attract key employees. Given the large volume of transactions this past year, it appears that people could be repositioning themselves for the next cycle of the economy. Despite the few warning signs flickering in the distance, the Central Coast remains a desirable place to locate your business, operate, and to invest. To illustrate the capitalization influence on valuation, let us assume a commercial building produces a net income to the investor of $100,000 per year. The declining market cap rates would correlate to the approximate purchase prices according to the following years: 2002 $1,053,000 2003 $1,250,000 2004 $1,333,333 2005 $1,538,000 2006 $1,538,000 2007 $1,428,000 2008 $1,250,000 2009 $1,111,111 2010 $1,111,111 2011 $1,031,000 2012 $1,818,000 2013 $1,818,000 2014 $1,818,000 2015 $1,428,000 2016 $1,538,000 2017 $1,538,000 2018 $1,538,000 A major community issue is the upcoming closing of the PG&E nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon. The closing will affect jobs and trickle-down income for many parts of the community. From a commercial real estate perspective, there is both a large office building (one of, if not the, biggest in the County) and a large warehouse at the plant that will likely become available for lease. When these buildings are available, they will, in one fell swoop, add 3 to 4 years of commercial absorption into the market. However, although breathtaking and sitting on the coast, the location is not central and uses within the Coastal Zone may be problematic. Packet Pg. 729 70 71 San Luis Obispo County’s population growth is slowing, with few parts outside of unincorporated areas having added significant numbers from 2017 to 2018. The natural growth rate has been quite slow, with relatively few women in child-rearing years. Additionaly, many residents with bachelor’s degrees moved to find better pay. San Luis Obispo County is following Central Coast and statewide trends and adding Hispanics while decreasing its share of non- Hispanic whites. As other Central Coast counties and the State sustained increased highway congestion, San Luis Obispo County residents have experienced shorter commutes even as single-occupancy-vehicle use has grown. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - DEMOGRAPHICS 2018 CCEF FORECAST - DEMOGRAPHICS Population Estimates San Luis Obispo County is home to 280,101 people in 2018, a 0.32% increase from 2017 and a 2.5% increase from 2013. Compared with the rest of the Central Coast, San Luis Obispo County’s growth in population is lagging; it added the fewest people in absolute terms over the last five years. All four Central Coast counties have had lower population growth than California as a whole over the last five years. The City of San Luis Obispo is currently the largest city by population in the County, at 46,548, but remains smaller than unincorporated areas. Year-to-date changes in San Luis Obispo include: • The population increased 0.32%, outpacing only Ventura County, the slowest-growing Central Coast county, which grew 0.26%. • Population growth statewide (0.8%) far outpaced that of all four Central Coast counties. • Among cities, San Luis Obispo grew the most, at 0.27%. • Unincorporated areas grew faster, 0.62%, more than any city. • Paso Robles, Grover Beach and Morro Bay sustained slight declines, at -0.01%, -0.24% and -0.23% respectively.

As of 2017, the latest year for which data is available, the median age was 39.6, compared with 38.1 for California. Nearly two-fifths of the population were senior citizens (65+) compared with just 13.9% of California’s population. This is not necessarily a Central Coast trend, though. Santa Barbara (33.8) and Monterey counties (34.3), the two youngest in the Central Coast, have median ages significantly below that of California (36.5).

Although it had increased since 2012, the County’s 29.3% rise in median household income has trailed that of the state, largely because of smaller gains by those with bachelor’s degrees. • Ventura County was the richest in the Central Coast region in 2017, with a median household income of $82,857. This was likely due to its proximity to major job centers in the Los Angeles MSA. • San Luis Obispo County’s 19.3% increase in household income from 2012 to 2017 trailed California’s 23.1% increase. Education The County, as of 2017, had a high level of high school graduates and those with advanced degrees compared with the rest of the Central Coast and California as a whole. But compared with 2012, San Luis Obispo County is losing those with some college education and those with bachelor’s degrees. The County’s relatively low incomes for those with bachelor’s degrees are likely to blame as workers move to take higher-paid positions elsewhere. Trends among residents 25 and older include: • Only 8% of the population lack a high school diploma or its equivalent, the lowest rate in the Central Coast and less than half that of California (16.7%). • San Luis Obispo County’s lowest-skilled workers (those with a high school diploma or less) earned $32,472 in 2017 (an increase of 19.3% over 2012), more than their counterparts in the rest of the Central Coast and California. • Similar to the other Central Coast counties and California as a whole, San Luis Obispo County’s share of the population with at least a high school education increased from 91.2% in 2012 to 92.1% in 2017. • San Luis Obispo County increased its share of the population with at least a bachelor’s degree from 2012 (33.5%) to 2017 (34.6%), but did so more slowly than California (30.9% to 33.7%) and the broader Central Coast region. • The share of County residents with bachelor’s degrees (lacking advanced or professional degrees) fell from 21.7% in 2012 to 19.8% in 2017. • County workers with bachelor’s degrees increased their incomes just 0.2% from 2012 to 2017, a lower rate than in California (14.9%) and the rest of the Central Coast. • The County’s share of population with graduate or professional degrees increased from 2012 (11.8%) to 2017 (14.8%), representing the largest increase in the Central Coast and more than California (11.3% to 12.6%). • San Luis Obispo County residents with graduate or professional degrees made $71,371 in 2017, the least in the Central Coast and much less than California ($85,555). 2018 CCEF FORECAST - DEMOGRAPHICS 2018 CCEF FORECAST - DEMOGRAPHICS Packet Pg. 732 EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY Source: American Community Survey; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC Graduate or professional degree Bachelor’s degree Some College High School Graduate Less than High School Graduate 2017 2012 2017 INCOME BY EDUCATION Source: American Community Survey; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC $80,000 $20,000 $40,000 $60,000 $100,00 High School Graduate or less Some College $0 California San Luis Obispo County Bachelor’s degree Graduate or Professional degree Monterey County Santa Barbara County Ventura County 76 77 2018 CCEF FORECAST - DEMOGRAPHICS 2018 CCEF FORECAST - DEMOGRAPHICS 0%5%10%15%20%25%30%35%40%45% SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY INCOME BY EDUCATION Source: American Community Survey; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC High School Graduate or less Some College Bachelor’s degree Graduate or Professional degree 2012 2017 $0 $20,000 $40,000 $60,000 $80,000 Packet Pg. 733 NATURAL GROWTH RATES, SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY Source: American Community Survey; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 -30% -20% -10% 30% 0% 10% 20% 40% Natural Growth Rate 0.30% 0.40% 0.80% 0.50% 0.60% 0.70% 0.90% -40% 0.10% 0.20% 0.00% 78 79 Migration San Luis Obispo County’s population increase of 452 in 2017 was primarily driven by migration; the natural increase (births minus deaths) totaled only 42, or 7.7% of the total increase. This stands in contrast to the State, where most of the recent growth has been through natural increase. Not only is the natural rate of growth in the County at a five-year low, it has consistently had the lowest natural rate of growth over the past five years in the Central Coast and lower than California as a whole. • San Luis Obispo County experienced positive net domestic migration in 2016 (874) and 2017 (35). • Population growth in San Luis Obispo County in 2017 mainly came from foreign migrants, who represented 83% of the growth. • San Luis Obispo County’s natural rate of growth has fallen over the last five years from 0.13% to 0.02%, following Central Coast and statewide trends. • Monterey County had the highest natural rate of growth in the Central Coast in 2017 at 0.82%, likely because of its younger population. Commuting Times and Modes Although its main highways and arteries face congestion during peak commuting periods, San Luis Obispo County is not known for traffic jams. From 2012 to 2017, most residents experienced a slight decrease in commuting time. The exception is the residents who depended on public transportation. Notable trends include: • San Luis Obispo County’s median commuting time fell over the past five years (22.1 to 21.5 minutes). • All other Central Coast counties had increases, with the greatest in Ventura County (24.5 to 29.1 minutes). • More San Luis Obispo County residents are using single-occupancy vehicles to get to work than five years ago (73.1% to 76.8%). Carpooling commuters decreased from 11.2% to 9.9%. • Mass transit use also declined from 2.2% to 0.9% as transit commutes increased by over 20 minutes in each direction. • Other counties in the Central Coast had a decrease in use of mass transit, but did not have so dramatic an increase in commuting time. 2018 CCEF FORECAST - DEMOGRAPHICS 2018 CCEF FORECAST - DEMOGRAPHICS California 73.4%11.1%5.2%27.5 Monterey County, California 71.4% 12.6% 2.5%22.8 San Luis Obispo County, California 73.1% 11.2% 2.2%22.1 Santa Barbara County, California 67.3% 13.4% 3.3%18.7 Ventura County, California 76.3% 13.2% 1.3%24.5 2012 COMMUTES Source: American Community Survey; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC Geography Drive Alone %Carpool %Transit %Median Commuting Time California 73.9%10.0%5.0%29.8 Monterey County, California 72.0%8.6%1.4%22.5 San Luis Obispo County, California 76.8%7.9%0.9%21.5 Santa Barbara County, California 68.7%12.8%2.0%19.5 Ventura County, California 79.7%9.9%0.9%28.1 2017 COMMUTES Source: American Community Survey; Analysis by Beacon Economics, LLC Geography Drive Alone %Carpool %Transit %Median Commuting Time Packet Pg. 734 DESIGN BY AMF MEDIA GROUP Central Coast Economic Forecast 2018 Beacon Economics 5777 W Century Blvd, Ste 895 Los Angeles, CA 90045 (310) 571-3399 Beaconecon.com Packet Pg. 735 Section J Background Materials LOCAL REVENUE MEASURE Packet Pg. 736 Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission Agenda Report Meeting Date: 12/6/18 Item Number: 4 DATE: December 6, 2018 FROM: Greg Hermann, Interim Deputy City Manager Prepared By: Ryan Betz, Interim Assistant to the City Manager SUBJECT: 2017-18 LOCAL REVENUE MEASURE UNAUDITED YEAR-END EXPENDITURES RECOMMENDATION Receive a report and review unaudited operating and capital expenditures of local half-percent sales tax revenue in the last fiscal year. DISCUSSION Local Revenue Measure Uses The Local Revenue Measure Summary Schedule for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 lists unaudited expenditures for operating and capital project costs (Attachment 1). Expenditures are broken into the following categories: 1) Open Space Preservation, 2) Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements, 3) Traffic Congestion Relief/Safety Improvements, 4) Public Safety, 5) Neighborhood Street Paving, 6) Code Enforcement, 7) Flood Protection, 8) Parks andRecreation/Senior Programs and Facilities and 9) Other Vital Services and Capital Projects 8% 5% 7% 19% 41% 4% 8% 7% 1% FY 2017 18 Local Revenue Measure Operating Captial Uses 7.2M) 1.Open Space Preservation 2.Bicycles and Pedestrian Improvements 3.Traffic Congestion Relief/Safety Improvements 4.Public Safety 5.Neighborhood Street Paving 6.Code Enforcement 7.Flood Protection 8.Parks Recreation/Senior Programs and Facilities 9.Other Vital Services and Capital Projects Total Packet Pg. 737 CityofSanLuisObispo,Title,Subtitle Actual operating expenditures for FY 2017-18 were approximately $2.5 M and capital expenditures were approximately $4.8M totaling approximately $7.3M. Expenditures for the Local Revenue Measure in the 2017-19 Financial Plan were budgeted to account for approximately 33 percent operating and 67 percent capital costs. In the FY 2017-18, unaudited actuals were 33 percent operating and 67 percent capital expenditures. All funds budgeted for capital projects are carried forward in the budget until they are complete. Unexpended funds for operating expenses and completed capital projects go the Local Revenue Measure fund balance at the end of each fiscal year for future appropriation. 1. Operating Uses ($2.5M) 95 percent of budgeted Local Revenue Measure operating program funds were expended in FY 2017- 18. The 5 percent balance remaining was due to salary variances and hiring gaps for individual positions. Any unexpended operating funds go the Local Revenue Measure fund balance for future appropriation. The largest use of local revenue measure funding for operating costs was for Public Safety. Examples of these costs were salaries for the Downtown Patrol Officers. 2. Capital Uses ($4.8M) Approximately 43 percent of Local Revenue measure capital project funds were expended in FY 2017- 18. These funds were a combination of what was budgeted in FY 2017-18 and carryover from FY 16- 17. This is due to multi-year nature of capital improvement projects and some savings from projects that were completed under budget.

Project schedules are subject to variables that cause delays and can sometimes be beyond the City’s control. Because the budgeted funds for capital projects carry over year to year until the project is complete, a list of current capital projects, including projects funded from previous fiscal years, has been included in Attachment 1. This list provides the total expenditure amounts for all Local Revenue Measure operating and capital projects and aligns with the City’s 2017-18 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report which is scheduled to be reviewed and approved by the City Council in February, 2019. Any funding remaining once projects are completed will be transferred into a Local Revenue Measure Completed Projects account. This funding could be used for other approved Local Revenue Measure projects that end up costing more than what was budgeted (subject to City Manager approval) or be reprogrammed to other capital projects that meet Local Revenue Measure priorities subject to Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission (REOC) and City Council approval during the budget process. The largest capital expenditures funded by the Local Revenue Measure in FY 2017-18 were for Neighborhood Street Paving, specifically for street reconstruction and resurfacing neighborhoods on and near Madonna Road and Los Osos Valley Road. 3. Net Available for Future Appropriations As of June 30, 2018, there is no net balance of Local Revenue Measure funding available for future uses.

Master Accounts Master accounts are an accounting structure the City uses for a limited number of maintenance capital projects that occur throughout the City and are typically funded on an annual basis. For example, master accounts are used for capital projects related to road repair, sidewalk and storm drain maintenance. Because the project scope and funding can range for these types of capital projects, the full funding is grouped into a master account. This flexibility allows project managers to access the appropriate amount of budget once the project bids have been submitted. Once the project has been completed, any remaining project funding is transferred back into the Master account for future projects that fall under that specific category of Local Revenue Measure projects. Per the City’s Financial Management Manual, requests for additional funding for a project from a Master Account must be approved by the City Manager. The current balance of the Local Revenue Measure master accounts have been included in the FY 2017-18 Funding Summary Schedule (Attachment 1) and could be included in the Annual Community Report. The master account structure provides efficiencies to deliver a portfolio of similar types of projects while still providing a high level of oversight by City leadership. Local Revenue Measure Revenues Unaudited revenues from the local half-percent sales tax totaled $7.5 M in FY 2017-18. This is a 1.5 percent increase from last fiscal year and in line with the 2017-18 Budget. Staff is continuously working to refine future revenue forecasts based on current data for both the 2018-19 Mid-Year Budget and the 2019-21 Financial Plan. FY 2017-18 Budgeted Revenues $7,445,096 FY 2017-18 Year End Unaudited Revenues $7,504,485 Interest on Investments $55,638 Total Revenue $7,560,123 Difference (+/-) +115,027 The increase in revenue received is due to higher than expected sales of goods and services. The additional revenue will help offset the unaudited Fund Balance of -$87K. Staff will return to the REOC in the spring, as part of the FY 2017-18 Audit, with a recommended plan to address the budget shortfall as part of the 2019-21 Financial Plan. FY 2018-19 revenue from the Local Revenue Measure is forecasted to be $7.6 M. These projections will change over time and the next update will be presented to the City Council with the 2018-19 Mid-Year Budget in February 2019. ATTACHMENT 1.
