Department: Finance
Cost Center: 2002
For Agenda of: 5/20/2025
Placement: Consent
Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Emily Jackson, Finance Director
Prepared By: Riley Kuhn, Principal Budget Analyst
SUBJECT: FY 2024-25 Q3 BUDGET REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the FY 2024-25 Q3 Budget Report.
POLICY CONTEXT
The City’s budget policies require that the City Council review the City’s budget and
financial condition at least every six months. City Charter Code Section 804 states that at
any meeting after the adoption of the budget, the Council may amend or supplement the
budget by motion adopted by a majority vote of the Council.
The Third Quarter (Q3) Budget Report (Attachment A) is part of the ongoing quarterly
reporting process and fulfills these requirements. The review allows the Council to adjust
revenue and expenditure assumptions should the need arise. The accompanying Budget
Report for FY 2024-25 Q3 provides a review of the City’s financial results as compared
to budget three quarters through the fiscal year.
DISCUSSION
Budget Report Organization
The budget report follows a standard format in line with recent quarterly budget updates
and is intended to provide a high level overview of fiscal performance for the General
Fund, the four major enterprise funds, and the special revenue funds. The report
(Attachment A) includes the following sections:
General Fund Summary: Three quarters through the year, no new risks to budget
attainment have emerged. As detailed in the second quarter report, sales tax and
development fee revenues are expected to underperform expectations. Expenditures are
trending broadly in line with expectations and at this point . Staff do not see risk to fund
balance at year end.
Storm Update: Consistent with prior quarterly reports, the Q3 report includes a summary
of costs incurred to date to address damage caused by the Winter 2023 storms. The
Page 27 of 555
Item 6c
report also includes an update on the status of reimbursements expected from the
Federal Emergency Management Agency and California Office of Emergency Services.
Water Fund Summary: Year to date results are generally in line with expectations and
staff do not expect significant variances to budget at year end.
Sewer Fund Summary: Year to date results are generally in line with expectations and
staff do not expect significant variances to budget at year end.
Parking Fund Summary: Parking revenue is trending below expectations. This revenue
shortfall is attributed to enforcement issues at certain parking structures , which staff
believe have been addressed.
Transit Fund Summary: Year to date results are generally in line with expectations and
staff do not expect significant variances to budget at year end.
Special Revenue Fund Summaries: All special revenue funds are expected to finish the
year in line with their budgets.
CIP Update: The report provides an update on the tasks ongoing or completed during
the third quarter of the year. Notable projects completed in Q3 include the North Chorro
Greenway Underbelly Painting and Lighting, the installation of gated parking equipment
at the 842 Palm Parking Garage, and the 2024 Roadway Sealing Project, which included
upgrades to the Damon Garcia Sports Field Complex parking lot and the Johnson Park
parking lot.
Major City Goals Update: The report provides an update on the Major City Goal tasks
originally scheduled to be completed during the third quarter of the year. Two tasks had
original completion dates in Q3: Task 4.3a, Higuera Complete Streets, and Task 4.3b,
South / King Crossing, are both Active Transportation Plan Tier 1 projects and are now
expected to be completed in FY 2026-27 Q1 and FY 2025-26 Q4 respectively. The report
includes additional information on the projects and their delays.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
Council adopted the FY 2024-25 Supplemental Budget on June 4, 2025. The first quarter
budget report was presented to Council on December 10, 2024 , and the second quarter
budget report was presented on February 18, 2025.
Public Engagement
Public engagement on the item can be provided to the City Council through written
correspondence prior to the meeting or through public testimony at the meeting. The
report will also be posted on the City’s website for public review.

Third Quarter Financial Report
Fiscal Year 2024-25
Introduction
This financial report provides an overview of the City’s revenues and expenditures through the
third quarter of the fiscal year (July 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025). It also provides an update on the
status of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects and progress on Major City Goal
tasks.
Throughout the document, reference will be made to the data available as of the time the report
was drafted. Revenues are often not available for two months after quarter-end or more and in
some cases, revenues are not received evenly throughout the year. Expenditures are often
recorded in advance for annual costs or for purchase orders opened at the beginning of the year.
The net impact is that actual results booked three quarters into the year should not always be
expected to equal 75% of budgeted amounts. Commentary will be provided only when analysis
suggests that full-year results may differ significantly from budget.

General Fund Summary
Three quarters through the year, two areas of risk to revenue budget attainment remain elevated.
As noted in the Second Quarter Budget Report, sales tax has not grown as expected and
development review fees are in decline. Expenditures are trending broadly in line with
expectations, and at this point, staff do not see risk to fund balance at year end. The tables below
detail year-to-date results as compared to budget and prior year actuals. Commentary is provided
where results are not in line with expectations.
Revenue:
Tax Revenue:
Sales Tax (including Local Revenue Measure & Prop 172 Safety Tax): Year-to-date results
include July through January only as the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration
reports on a two-month delay. The budget assumed a return to typical growth rates in sales tax
revenue driven by reductions in interest rates that are no longer expected to materialize. Recent
statewide forecasts from the City’s consultants have been revised downwards based on
macroeconomic conditions and, as a result, staff expect risk to budget attainment.
Property Tax: The City participates in the Teeter Plan, which means that the City is not exposed
to delinquent payments and can reasonably expect to collect 100% of budgeted amounts. Staff
expects to exceed budget by year-end.

Business Tax: This tax is due at the beginning of the year and should be largely collected. Staff
notes that collections are up more than 7% from the prior year due to a combination of improved
compliance efforts and collection of past-due prior year receipts. Staff issued the first of three
rounds of citations at the end of January for past due business tax and expect collections to
increase before year end. The second round of citations was issued in March. Both efforts were
successful in bringing delinquent operators into compliance. As of the writing of this report, staff
expects to send the third and final round of citations out to approximately 330 operators who are
still out of compliance.
Cannabis Tax: The legal cannabis industry has faced headwinds statewide and based on current
year trends, cannabis revenue is expected to underperform budget by at least $0.1M.
While other tax revenue categories show year to date results lower than 75%, staff do not expect
significant variances for the full year.
Fee & Other Revenue:
Development Review Fees: This revenue stream finished 2% below budget last fiscal year and
is pacing to finish the year as much as $1.5M below budget in the current fiscal year, which would
be 23% below anticipated revenues for the year. This downward trend in development and related
fees aligns with nationwide trends due to external factors such as high interest rates, political
uncertainty, and elevated construction, labor, land, and energy costs. This trend could also
suggest a leveling out of development in the City, after several years of development occurring at
a high pace due to several large-scale projects and the build-out of several subdivisions.
As a result of applications being down, Community Development is completing the vast majority
of plan checks in-house. This preserves the consultant budget, which would typically be expended
if there were more projects. The Director has directed program managers to pay close attention
to discretionary budgets for the remainder of the fiscal year and the Department has kept a Permit
Tech Position vacant. In addition, Community Development has re-forecasted the anticipated
development revenue in the next financial plan, taking into consideration the trends that have
emerged this year.
General Government: This line includes earnings on cash and investment balances which have
benefited greatly from elevated interest rates. Staff expect cash interest payments to outperform
budget once again, although to a lesser degree due to recent policy actions by the Federal
Reserve. Staff also caution that if interest rates do not decrease throughout the year as expected,
this may result in negative fair market value adjustments1.
Storm Reimbursement: Staff’s original assumption was that the City would receive
reimbursement for Winter 2023 Storm expenditures from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) within 12 months.
That timeframe passed in October 2024 and the City has yet to receive reimbursement, despite
1 Fair Market Value adjustments are non-cash adjustments to investment income that reflect changes in
the current market price of our bond holdings. Bond values are inversely correlated with interest rates, so
if interest rates do not fall as expected the adjustment will reduce revenue. If rates fall more quickly than
expected, the adjustment will increase revenue. Because the City generally holds investments until
maturity, we do not expect any cash impact from these changes in fair value.

the fact that FEMA has obligated some of the City’s projects. More information is included in the
‘Storm Update’ section of this report.
Though other fee categories show year-to-date results other than 50% of budget, staff do not
expect significant variances for the full year.
Operating Expenditures:
Staffing: Salaries and benefits are as expected at this point in the year. If vacancies and overtime
utilization continue at this rate, this indicates year end staffing savings of at least 4%.
Unfunded Pension Liability: This annual cost is prepaid upfront. Savings are realized as a result
of this prepayment.
Contract Services: Actuals for this budget line include obligations on open purchase orders.
While 79% of budget has been obligated or expended, just 54% has been paid to vendors. Staff
expect modest savings at year-end.
Other Operating Expenditures: Similar to Contract Services, actuals for this line include
obligations on open purchase orders and just 59% of budget has been expended. Staff expect
modest savings at year-end.
While the year to date results for the General Fund as a whole are largely as expected, the
following areas of risk to operating budgets stand out:

Fire Department: Several vacant positions are driving higher than expected overtime
expenditures. Four firefighter positions were vacant until March, when four new recruits began
the department’s internal, ten-week training academy. The academy finishes in early May,
followed by a three to six-week paramedic certification period, when the new hires will fill the
vacant positions, and overtime will no longer be a daily necessity. The department will utilize all
means to reduce impacts to the budget, including the offset of unused regular salaries from the
vacancies. Staff expect this year’s increased mutual aid revenue resulting from the high fire
activity around the state and other reimbursements will provide budget capacity to cover staffing
costs for the remainder of the year.
Police: Total staffing expenditures are trending higher than budget and it is likely that the
department will be over-expended in staffing at year end. The main contributor is a Police Officers
Association labor contract increase which, as is typical for labor negotiations, is included in the
non-departmental budget. Including the labor contingency amount, the department is expected to
finish under budget.
Storm Update
As noted in prior budget reports, the winter storms in January and March 2023 caused significant
damage to City infrastructure and resulted in emergency declarations at the Federal and State
level, in addition to the Emergency Services Director’s local emergency proclamation. The City
Council authorized use of up to $9 million from the City’s operating reserve in FY 2022‐23 and FY
2023‐24 to address unbudgeted storm costs, and with adoption of the 2023‐25 Financial Plan,
the City Council also allocated $2.75 million in the CIP to fund projects to repair storm damages
and mitigate against future damage. An additional $2.1 million was allocated to storm damage
repair with adoption of the FY 2024‐25 Supplemental Budget. The Federal and State declarations
enable the City to seek reimbursement for certain storm related costs. The maximum
reimbursement for eligible costs is 93.75% (75% from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and 18.75% from the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES)),
meaning that the City will pay a minimum of 6.25% for certain storm related costs.
The FEMA reimbursement process continues to move slowly due to turnover in the FEMA
Program Delivery Managers assigned to assist local agencies in submitting projects for
reimbursement and a lack of clarity about the information required in order to submit projects.
While the Disaster Relief Fund (which funds public assistance to impact agencies) was allocated
additional funding, the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is now
focused on FEMA programs. As reported last quarter, the new Federal administration has
previously signaled the possibility of disaster response shifting to states. Given all of the changes
at the Federal level, it is expected that FEMA processes will slow even more.
The City has expended approximately $13.5 million on storm response to date, including debris
removal, emergency protective measures, and projects to make permanent repairs to damaged
facilities. This amount is approximately $2 million lower than what was reported in the FY 2024-
25 Second Quarter Budget Report, due to Oracle double-counting purchase orders and invoices,
which has since been corrected. The $13.5 million is close to what was reported in the First
Quarter Budget Report, as many projects are in the design phase and significant costs have not
been incurred. Currently, the estimated total cost to repair all storm related damage is $48.4
million, consistent with what was reported in prior reports. As previously noted, all storm‐related
expenditures have been submitted to FEMA for reimbursement and are in various stages of
Page 35 of 555
6
FEMA’s review and evaluation process. As of the writing of this report, a total of nine projects
totaling $717,125 have been obligated by FEMA, meaning that FEMA has determined that
reimbursement should be provided. Once a project is obligated, notification is made to the State
for payment. Agencies typically receive payment within three months of a project being obligated,
but CalOES has reported that the timeline has slowed due to a significant volume of
reimbursement payments to process. CalOES has provided the City with notification that
payments are currently being processed for five of the City's projects.
As reported in prior quarters, staff has struggled to navigate FEMA processes due to inconsistent
guidance provided by FEMA Program Delivery Managers, inaccurate FEMA site inspections and
lack of clarity about what jurisdiction certain projects fall under. In early May, staff met with a
representative from Congressmember Salud Carbajal’s office, and as a result of that meeting, the
Congressmember ’s office will be writing letters on the City’s behalf to try to move submitted
projects forward, through FEMA’s process.
Based upon staff delivery capacity, FEMA reimbursement timeframes, and the upcoming 2025‐
27 Financial Plan process, staff continues to work on the highest priority storm damage projects
in order to advance them for funding consideration with the 2025‐27 Financial Plan and will
continue the process to obtain FEMA reimbursement during the delivery process.
The two tables below provide an overview of the status of storm projects. The first table details
all storm projects that staff believe should advance, including their respective current phases and
the percentage of work completed to date. All of these projects have been included as part of the
2025-27 Financial Plan. The second table outlines work that is not deemed urgent at this time
and will be assessed as part of a future financial plan. Staff continue to monitor these sites to
access priorities.

Water Fund Summary
The Water Fund’s year-to-date results are generally in line with expectations, showing expected
trends across revenue and expenditure categories.
Revenue:
Revenues are 87% received as of report drafting, which is in line with anticipated revenue
collection at this point in the fiscal year. Staff are monitoring collections and do not expect a
significant variance in budget by year end.
Investment and Property Revenue: This line includes earnings on cash and investment
balances. The fund has benefited from the current interest rate environment and exceeds its
revenue budget as budgets are set conservatively in case earnings on investments are low. The
higher interest earnings can help offset other revenue shortfalls, should they occur, and
strengthen the Water Fund’s financial position.
Other Revenue: The Other Revenue line item is primarily funded from Transfers In revenues,
which come from Development Impact Fees. Actuals show as overrealized, because Impact Fees
for water are budgeted for under the individual fund that they are received in to and are then
transferred to the Water Fund during the annual AB 1600 review and reporting process. The
Other Revenue line item also includes Other City Licenses and Permits (recycled water
construction water permits), Miscellaneous Penalties (customer late fees), Credit Collections,
Sales of Surplus Property, Development Review Fees, and Utilities Setup Fees. Service Charges
and Base Fees: Service Charges and Base Fees are currently showing an under-collection,
primarily due to a timing gap between the receipt of revenue and their allocation in the accounting
system. Specifically, sales to Cal Poly and Water Sales are impacted by this timing delay, leading
to a temporary misalignment in reported revenues. These discrepancies are expected to be
resolved by year-end as accounting processes catch up with the actual collections.
State Grants: Funds received are attributable to a Proposition 1B Grant, which aligns with the
funding levels projected. These funds were received this fiscal year as a result of modified project
schedules. Staff are actively coordinating with the grant administrators to ensure compliance with
reporting and administrative requirements for disbursements.

Total 29,219,426$ 28,656,148$ 24,847,799$ 87%
Page 38 of 555
9
Expenditures:
Staffing: As of the current reporting period, 66% of the staffing budget has been expended.
Budget savings are driven by multiple vacancies throughout the department, as unfilled positions
have temporarily reduced personnel costs. Some staffing savings are being spent on approved
staffing requests to address these vacancies, including the hiring of a retired annuitant who has
been helping fill the Utility Billing vacancy. The Fund remains on track and within budget with
these approved costs.
Unfunded Pension Liability: This annual cost is fully prepaid at the beginning of the fiscal year.
This prepayment strategy results in savings over the course of the year, as it reduces accruals
and maximizes the impact of the payment.
Contract Services: The Contract Services budget line reflects a significant portion of obligations
tied to open purchase orders, many of which are created at the start of the fiscal year for larger,
ongoing contracts. Many contracts are structured around milestone-based payments or periodic
billing cycles, meaning payments lag behind the recorded obligations. Staff anticipate no variance
from the budget by year-end, as these expenditures align with the scope and timelines of
contracted services.
Other Operating Expenditures: Similar to the Contract Services category, the Other Operating
Expenditures line includes obligations tied to open purchase orders. This line also accounts for
significant annual prepayments for key water sources of supply, including Nacimiento, Salinas,
and Whale Rock. These prepayments ensure a stable and predictable supply of water, supporting
operational needs and reducing the risk of funding shortfalls. By making these payments upfront,
the organization safeguards against future cost increases or potential disruptions.

Sewer Fund Summary
The Sewer Fund’s year-to-date results are generally in line with expectations.
Revenue:
Investment and Property Revenue: This line includes earnings on cash and investment
balances. Budgets for investment income are set conservatively because changes in fair market
value could lead the City to recognize negative investment income. The fund has benefited from
the current interest rate environment and now exceeds its revenue budget for this account line.
The higher interest earnings can offset other revenue shortfalls, should they occur, and strengthen
the Sewer Fund’s financial position.
Other Revenue: The Other Revenue line item is primarily funded from Transfers In revenues,
which come from Development Impact Fees. Actuals show as overrealized, because Impact Fee
revenues for sewer are budgeted for under the individual fund that they are received into and are
then transferred to the Sewer Fund during the annual AB 1600 review and reporting process. The
Other Revenue line item also includes sources contributed positively to the fund’s position.
Miscellaneous Penalties (customer late fees), and Utilities Set-up Fees, Administrative Citations,
Credit Collections, Sales of Surplus Property, Development Review Fees, and Sewer Wye
Abandonment and Installations. Together, these sources provide supplemental financial support
to the budget, reflecting a diverse revenue base.
State Grants: Funds received are attributable to a CalOES Grant at the Water Resource
Recovery Facility (WRRF) and aligns with the grant funding levels projected. These funds were
received this fiscal year as a result of modified project schedules. Staff are actively coordinating
with the grant administrators to ensure compliance with reporting and administrative requirements
for disbursements.
Long-Term Debt Proceeds: Borrowings associated with the long-term debt proceeds are
intended to fund the construction of the WRRF and were initially budgeted for FY 2023-24. The
timing of these borrowings is contingent upon the progress of construction activities, which may
not always align with the original budgetary projections. As a result, fluctuations in the timing of
debt issuance are being carefully monitored to ensure that financing remains available.
Service Charges and Base Fees: Similar to the Water Fund, Service Charges and Base Fees
show as under-collected due to a timing lag between revenue collection and revenue allocation.
Despite this temporary discrepancy, staff do not anticipate significant variances in this revenue
category by the end of the fiscal year.

Page 40 of 555
11
Expenditures:
Staffing: At 66% expended, the primary driver of budget savings for the Sewer Fund is also
unfilled positions. These vacancies led to reduced personnel costs during the first and second
quarters of the fiscal year. Recognizing the importance of maintaining operational capacity and
service delivery, some staffing savings are being spent on approved staffing increases, including
outsourcing specific functions and internal promotions. Efforts to address the staffing gaps include
proactive recruitment campaigns, streamlining the hiring process to reduce time-to-hire, and
leveraging all available resources to attract and secure qualified candidates.
Unfunded Pension Liability: This annual cost is fully prepaid at the beginning of the fiscal year.
This prepayment strategy results in savings over the course of the year, as it reduces accruals
and maximizes the impact of the payment.
Contract Services: Actuals for this budget line include obligations on open purchase orders. Staff
do not expect a variance to the budget at year-end. The discrepancy is due to the timing of
payments, as many of the services are invoiced and paid after work is completed or milestones
are achieved.
Other Operating Expenditures: Like Contract Services, actuals for this line include obligations
on open purchase orders. As of the reporting date, 63% of the budget has been paid to vendors.
This approach safeguards budget stability and ensures that key expenditures can be met as
obligations are fulfilled.

Parking Fund Summary
The Parking Fund’s year-to-date results indicate that the fund will underperform against its
revenue targets for the year. The revenue budget is based on the 2024 Rate Study report
projections, with reduced rates effective July 1, 2024. Overall, staff is estimating a $1.48M
shortfall in FY 2024-25 Parking Fund actual revenues compared to the budgeted amount. The
Parking Fund has adequate reserves to absorb the estimated one-time revenue shortfall.
Additionally, staff are reducing expenditures in accordance with the Fiscal Health Contingency
Plan and intend to use fund balance to address this year’s revenue shortfall, while continuing to
resolve the technology issues affecting revenue collection. There is approximately $5.9M
unreserved working capital from the year end of FY 2023-24.
Additional analysis and commentary can be found below:
Revenue:
Overall, there were some unexpected failures in the technology systems which resulted in less
overall revenue in the first half of the fiscal year. It is expected that the use of new technology
recommended in the Technology Roadmap report will help to address some of the current revenue
shortfall this year and achieve 2024 Rate Study revenue projections moving forward into future
years. Recently completed projects this spring include implementation of a new citation
management system and new gated system at 842 Palm garage.
Long Term Parking: Revenue from long term parking includes sales of on-street permits,
residential district permits, and garage parking permits. The price of garage parking permits was
reduced from $85/month to $45/month effective July 1, 2024. The reduction in permit costs was
not forecasted in the Rate Study but was adopted by Council based on staff’s recommendations.
Permit sales have increased due to the price reduction, but the initial increase did not occur as
quickly as anticipated due to technology issues. Permit sales have continued to increase each
month since July 1, 2024, and are expected to continue to increase with the launch of a new
digital permit platform in April 2025 and the installation of the new gating system at 842 Palm
Street.
The initial reports from the new digital permit platform show an increase in permit sales, most
likely related to the new gating system at the 842 Palm Street garage however the increase in
permit sales remain unlikely to meet the revenue projections presented in the Rate Study, due the
reduced price of the permit. The availability of garage permits is advertised with signs in the
garages, the parking webpages, and printed promotional material. An increased communication

plan advertising garage permits will be rolled out when all garages have a consistent gating
system. Staff expects to miss budget this year by $325,000, based on year-to-date actuals.
Parking Fines: Revenue from parking fines includes all revenue collected from paid parking
citations. Citation revenue has decreased due to collection issues caused by the prior citation
management vendor and staff turnover. Consistent with the Technology Roadmap
recommendations, the City completed implementation of a new citation management vendor in
March 2025. As of the end of March 2025 when all citation data was converted to the new citation
management vendor, there were 24,616 unpaid citations with a total balance due of $1,717,310.
While all citations may not be collected, the collection of even a portion of the unpaid citations
could significantly impact citation revenue.
With the vendor change and updated noticing to those with unpaid citations, revenue is expected
to increase. It is highly likely that the bulk of this citation revenue will be realized in FY 2025-26.
Based on year-to-date actuals, there is an expected budget deficit of $295,000 in Parking Fines
Revenue. However, based on collection reports from the initial noticing sent by the citation
management vendor in April, staff expects to recover the deficit amount in Q4 and does not expect
significant variances to budget by year-end.
Parking Meters: Revenue from parking meters includes hourly parking sessions from on-street
and surface parking lot areas as well as mobile app payments. Even with the reduced parking
rates, parking meter revenue is tracking slightly higher than budget. This provides a strong
indication that on-street parking activity is increasing with the reduced parking rates now in effect.
Staff does not expect significant variances to budget by year-end.
Parking Structures: Parking structures revenue was negatively impacted by the operation of a
gateless parking system at the 842 Palm Street garage. In November 2024, Council approved
appropriation of $1.2 million from Parking Fund balance for the purchase of new garage payment
and gating equipment for 842 Palm Street garage, as well as 919 Palm Street and Marsh Street
garages. New gating equipment will provide better access and revenue controls that staff
anticipates will increase revenue collections. The equipment at 842 Palm Street was replaced in
March 2025, but will not be in operation long enough to make up for revenue losses in the current
fiscal year. The first 30 days of operation of the new gated system at 842 Palm Street has shown
a significant increase in revenue and revenues are expected to meet the projected budget in
future years. Once the new gated system has been installed on the remaining City Parking
Garages which are the 919 Palm and the Marsh Street garages, Staff expect to meet revenue
projects for Parking Garages. Currently, Staff expects to miss budget by $1,160,000, based on
year-to-date actuals.

Staffing: The staffing budget is 69% expended through the first three quarters of the fiscal year
due to vacancies in multiple administrative and enforcement positions. These vacant positions
have since been filled.
Unfunded Pension Liability: This annual cost is prepaid upfront. A slight savings is realized as
a result of this prepayment.
Contract Services: Actuals for this budget line include obligations from open purchase orders.
While 82% of the budget has been obligated or expended, just 55% has been paid to vendors.
Staff does not expect a variance to budget at year-end.
Other Operating Expenditures: This line includes utility services, credit card merchant fees, and
operational materials and supplies. So far, 70% of the budget has been expended. Due to lower
than budgeted revenues, staff expect savings of $40,000 in credit card merchant fees,
corresponding with revenue trends.

Transit Fund Summary
The Transit Fund’s year-to-date results are generally in line with expectations. Staff note that the
Transit Fund is largely funded by Federal and State grants. As such, staff are monitoring the new
administration’s executive orders, budget recommendations, and actions and what effects they
may have on the availability of future federal funds.
Revenue:
Federal: This line includes capital and operating revenue from discretionary and formula federal
grants. Discretionary grants are competitive in nature and are included in the budget to offset
related capital costs, but they are not guaranteed. Formula grants are typically allocated to the
region and the amount is calculated using various factors like population and transit metrics. Both
discretionary and formula grants are reimbursement-based grants, meaning funds are disbursed
after expenses have been incurred.
In April 2024, staff applied for $5.1 million in discretionary grant funding for the purchase of
additional battery electric vehicles. The funding request was not awarded, so this revenue will not
be received, and the project budget will be adjusted accordingly. The City continues to draw down
on the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) operating funds awarded to the City in 2022.
Drawdowns occur quarterly to align with federal reporting requirements. Five total drawdowns for
both operating and capital expenses are reflected in the table above.
There has been no communication from the U.S. Department of Transportation or Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) that active grants like the ARPA operating assistance grant are at risk of loss
of funding. Staff continues to submit draw down requests and, as of March 2025, funds continue
to be disbursed. Staff expects that ARPA operating assistance funds will be available for the
remainder of this fiscal year and that approximately $2.7 million (22 percent of total budgeted
revenue) will be available next fiscal year to cover operating costs. Remaining operating costs
will be covered through a combination of FTA Section 5307 funds and Transportation
Development Act (TDA) revenue.
Local (Bus Fare): This line includes fares paid on the bus, pass sales, and revenue from Cal
Poly’s Transit Service Agreement. Staff expects minimal variance at year-end.
Other / Interest Revenue: This line includes earnings on cash, investment balances, and sale of
surplus property. Revenue from interest and investments are diff icult to accurately estimate, so
the Transit Fund budgets conservatively for this line.
State: This line includes revenue from state and regional discretionary and formula funding
sources. Staff expects to receive $2.57 million in TDA revenue based on the San Luis Obispo
Council of Government’s (SLOCOG) revised allocation, which is $158,000 less than originally

budgeted. The Transit Fund received $376,368 for two capital projects and was reimbursed
$498,473 for the construction of the Transit Yard electric vehicle charging infrastructure project,
both of which are reflected in the table above.
Expenditures:
Staffing: This line is tracking below budget primarily due to limited use of part-time staff. As a
result, staff anticipates a slight favorable variance at year-end.
Unfunded Pension Liability: This annual cost is prepaid upfront. A slight savings is realized as
a result of this prepayment.
Contract Services: This line primarily consists of costs paid via a third-party contract to Transdev
for SLO Transit’s operations and maintenance services. Actuals for this budget line include
obligations on open purchase orders. While 98% of budget has been obligated, just 65% has
been paid to vendors. Staff expects a savings of $107,000 at the end of this fiscal year in the
Contract Services line item.
Other Operating Expenditures: Actuals for this line include obligations on open purchase
orders. Staff expects expenditures to be $83,000 greater than budgeted amount due to a 38%
increase in average fuel costs per gallon since the beginning of the fiscal year. This variance will
be covered by savings in the Contract Services line item discussed above.

Special Revenue Fund Summaries
Tourism Business Improvement District
The Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) assessment is set at 2% of the lodging
industry’s gross receipts. The program annually aligns its operating budget with its anticipated
revenues.
Revenue:
While less than 75% of the budget has been recorded to date, revenue is recorded on a more
than one month delay and staff expect to collect the budgeted amount for the full year.
Expenditures:
The TBID procures many of its services in advance, leading to a high percent of budget expended
early in the year. The fund is expected to finish on budget for the full year.
Boysen Ranch Conservation Fund
Boysen Ranch consists of approximately 116 acres bounded by Los Osos Valley Road, Foothill
Boulevard, and O’Connor Way. The City holds a series of conservation easements that protect
approximately 25 acres of the Ranch to mitigate impacts to wetlands and waters caused by the
nearby commercial development projects on Los Osos Valley Road. As part of the original
easement agreement, Boysen Ranch’s owners provided the City with an endowment to fund
required monitoring activities.
Revenue:
The Boysen Ranch Conservation Fund is an endowment fund and its budgeted revenue is
provided by investment income. The fund is expected to benefit from the current interest rate

environment and meet or exceed its revenue budget, but this could change if fair market value
adjustments offset interest income received.
Expenditures
The fund has made its budgeted payment for authorized conservation activities. Staff expect no
further payments this fiscal year and the fund will finish on budget.
Insurance Fund
The Insurance Fund serves to pay the City’s annual premiums for liability, workers’ compensation,
special events, volunteer, and property insurance needed to protect the City and to manage
fluctuations in claims‐related expenses. It is also intended to maintain adequate reserves for
future claims and unpredictable increases in insurance costs.
Revenue:
Insurance Fund revenues are transfers in from the General Fund and will finish on budget.
Expenditures:
While recent actions to reduce premiums for Workers’ Compensation have delivered savings,
additional contributions from the General Fund may be necessary to build and maintain adequate
reserves according to City policy and actuarial estimates. The City’s Fund Balance and Reserve
Policy establishes that the Insurance Fund will maintain funding to cover 150% of the average
claim costs for the past five years. The policy also states that actuarial information will be taken
into consideration. Based on the most recent actuarial study dated November 18, 2024, the City
should maintain a reserve of $3,392,000 for liability claims and $1,578,000 for workers’
compensation claims, totaling $4,970,000, if funding at a 75% probability level. The insurance
fund reserve is anticipated to be $2,891,767 at the end of FY 2024-25. This is below the lowest
probability level provided by the actuary, which is 55%, or a reserve of $4,553,000.

Public Safety Equipment Replacement Fund
The Public Safety Equipment Fund (PSEF) was created with the 2019‐21 Financial Plan to help
budget and forecast the replacement of Public Safety equipment that has expired or become
damaged. The Fund had received an original seed amount with the FY 2019‐20 budget and, going
forward, an annual allocation is made from the Local Revenue Measure.
Revenue:
The fund receives revenue in the form of transfers in from the General Fund and will finish on
budget.
Expenditures:
The fund budgets for replacement of public safety equipment currently in service and is expected
to finish the year on budget.

budgeted but not transferred in prior years. There is no expected ongoing impact as the transfers
will be made annually within budgeted amounts going forward.
Avila Ranch CFD
A Mello‐Roos Community Facilities District was established and approved by City Council on
October 24, 2017 (Resolution No 10844) pursuant to section 5.02.1 of the Avila Ranch
Development Agreement. The CFD boundaries are identical to that of the Avila Ranch
Development project and located at the northeast corner of Buckley Road and Vachell Lane. The
Avila Ranch Project will include up to 720 dwelling units, 15,000 square feet of office and retail,
18 acres of parks, 53 acres of open space, riparian corridors and farm ed agricultural land. The
CFD was formed with purpose of funding services as well as facilities of the CFD. Services to be
funded can include the maintenance and lighting of parks, parkways, streets, roads, and open
space; flood and storm protection services; police & fire protection services; maintenance and
operation of real property. Facilities to be funded can include park, recreation, parkway, and
open space facilities; construction and undergrounding of utilities (water, natural gas, telephone
lines, electric, cable television); for the acquisition, improvement, or rehabilitation of real property.
Revenue:
The fund collects property tax from residents under the Teeter Plan with the County and is
expected to finish the year on budget or better. Ye ar to date results include accruals for tax
payments to be made in April and are subject to change.

The fund budgets for authorized service expenditures for maintenance and utilities and is
expected to finish the year under budget. Transfers out exceed budget due to the inclusion of
amounts authorized and budgeted but not transferred in prior years. There is no expected ongoing
impact as the transfers will be made annually within budgeted amounts going forward. Prior year
actuals were lower than budget because the development is new, still under construction, and
therefore maintenance costs are currently lower than revenues. At full buildout it is expected that
costs to serve this neighborhood will exceed revenue and the General Fund will provide services
above and beyond what the CFD pays for. All unexpended funds are held in fund balance and
are available for expenditure in future years.

CIP Update
During the third quarter of the fiscal year, the City continued to make strong progress in delivering
its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, with key advancements in infrastructure, public
spaces, and essential facilities. Notable projects completed in Q3 include the North Chorro
Greenway Underbelly Painting and Lighting, the installation of gated parking equipment at the
842 Palm Parking Garage, and the 2024 Roadway Sealing Project, which included upgrades to
the Damon Garcia Sports Field Complex parking lot and the Johnson Park parking lot.
The CIP team also reached substantial completion on the Wash Water Tank #1 and Laguna Lake
Dog Park projects. Final work on both is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.
Construction remains active on several legacy projects, including the Mid-Higuera Bypass,
Mission Plaza Enhancements, and the Cultural Arts District Parking Structure. These high-profile
projects are on track for completion in fiscal year 2025–26.
The City also received favorable bids for several new projects that will enter the construction
phase in the fourth quarter of FY 2024–25. These include tenant improvements at 1106 Walnut
(Police Administration Building), improvements to the 1166 Higuera Parking Lot, the Bob Jones
Trail Groundwater Well Drilling project, and the City Hall Finance/IT Remodel.
In preparation for the 2025–27 Financial Plan, staff is also gearing up to launch new CIP projects
in year one of the plan. These include Righetti Community Park, the installation of improved
parking infrastructure, and a sealing project on Grand Avenue.
A summary table of all completed and ongoing construction projects through the third quarter,
along with updates on legacy projects, is included below.
