Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission
Agenda Report Meeting Date: 4/4/19
Item Number: 2
DATE: April 4, 2019
FROM: Greg Hermann, Deputy City Manager
Prepared By: Ryan Betz, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: PROPOSED 2019-21 LOCAL REVENUE MEASURE EXPENDITURES
RECOMMENDATION
1. As part of 2019-21 Financial Plan adoption, recommend to the City Council the use of Local Revenue
Measure funds for the capital and operating expenditures as referenced in the report.
DISCUSSION
Background
On March 26, 2019, the proposed 2019-21 Local Revenue Measure funds for capital and operating
expenditures were presented to the Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission. Based upon the need
for additional analysis regarding the other revenue resources from the Road Repair and Accountability
Act of 2017 (SB 1) and SB 1090 (related to the closure of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant), the
REOC continued this item to a special meeting on April 4, 2019. The REOC also provided additional
direction on funding levels of several proposed capital projects. Based upon this direction and the
analysis of the other revenue resources, staff has revised the proposed 2019-21 list of capital and
operating expenditures (Attachment 1).
The City’s 2019-21 financial planning process is well underway. One aspect of the financial planning
process is deciding how to allocate General Fund revenues from the Local Revenue Measure. Local
Revenue Measure expenditures have historically been categorized as General Fund capital costs or
operating costs. General fund capital expenses are typically purchases, construction projects or debt
service. General fund operating expenses are for staffing and programs that provide essential services
and/or support capital project implementation.
Role of the Commission
The role of the Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission (REOC) in this process is detailed in
section 2.14.040 (E) of the City of San Luis Obispo Municipal Code which states:
“E. Budget Recommendations. The REOC shall meet for the purpose of making
recommendations to the city council regarding the uses of revenue generated by the essential
services measure. The REOC shall take into consideration the input provided by residents and
community members during the annual citizen oversight meeting, the purpose of the essential
services measure, the major city goals established by the city council, and the amount of revenue
available from past fiscal years, and projected to be available during the next fiscal year, in
making its budget recommendations to the council.”
City of San Luis Obispo, Title, Subtitle
Proposed 2019-21 Local Revenue Measure Expenditures Page 2
Revenue
The current revenue projections for the Local Revenue Measure for the 2019-21 Financial Plan are as
follows:
FY 2019-20 $7,840,000
FY 2020-21 $7,957,000
Total $15,797,000
These projections reflect an overall slowing of revenue growth that is aligned trends in other revenue
sources for the City and statewide. This forecast of revenues will change over time and updates will be
provided to the REOC and Council.
Balance of Capital Versus Operating
Previous input from the community and REOC has been to prioritize Local Revenue Measure funds for
capital investments and historically expenditures have been approximately 70% capital and 30%
operating. Operating program costs are a necessary part of implementing capital projects. In addition,
operating programs deliver essential services that align with Local Revenue Measure priorities. As such,
it would not be sustainable to allocate all Local Revenue Measure dollars to capital projects without
related operating program support to implement the projects. In the 2019-21 Financial Plan, expenditures
were budgeted 70% for capital and 30% for operating. The balance of capital and operating costs for
the 2019-21 Financial Plan are listed below:
Capital Expenditure
Percentage
Operating Expenditure
Percentage
FY 2019-20 71% ($5,574,867) 29% ($2,237,989)
FY 2020-21 70% ($5,545,397) 30% ($2,369,931)
Community Input
There has been significant community engagement in the process to develop the 2019-21 Financial Plan.
Over 1,780 people filled out a survey on important priorities for the City. Over 240 members of the
community attended the Community Forum held on January 23, 2019 (which also served as the Annual
Citizen Oversight Meeting). At the Forum, a Local Revenue Measure input station provided an
opportunity for community members to rank, 1 through 9, the highest priorities of the revenue. The
station received 126 ranking sheets. Because the rankings varied, the average ranking was calculated,
and the categories were listed in priority order (Attachment 2).
Major City Goals
The City Council used all of the community input, in addition to feedback from Advisory Bodies, letters
from community groups and individuals as well as financial and policy information to determine the
following Major City Goals for the 2019-21 Financial Plan:
City of San Luis Obispo, Title, Subtitle
Proposed 2019-21 Local Revenue Measure Expenditures Page 3
1. Housing
Facilitate the production of housing with an update of the Housing Element, including an
emphasis on affordable housing (including unhoused people) and workforce housing through the
lens of climate action and regionalism.
2. Fiscal Sustainability and Responsibility
Continue to implement the City’s Fiscal Responsibility Philosophy with a focus on efficiencies,
strategic economic development, unfunded liabilities, and infrastructure financing (Funding the
Future).
3. Sustainable Transportation
Enhance accessible regional transit, bicycle, and pedestrian mobility to promote a transition to a
car-free or shared-car lifestyle and to reduce greenhouse gases.
4. Climate Action
In response to the climate crisis, continue to update and implement the Climate Action Plan for
carbon neutrality, including preservation and enhancement of our open space and urban forest
and planning for resilience.
5. Downtown Vitality
Support the economic and cultural heart of the City with attention to safety, maintenance,
infrastructure, and amenities.
Recommended Projects and Services
Based upon feedback from the REOC on March 26, 2019, in addition to community input from the
Community Forum, the Major City Goals established by the City Council, revenue projections and the
funding priorities developed from the ballot language, staff assembled the proposed 2019-21 Local
Revenue Measure expenditures. Each project and service were reviewed and ranked by a CIP Committee
that has representatives from several City departments. The ranked projects and services were then
reviewed for final recommendations by the City Manager.
The following discusses proposed Local Revenue Measure capital and operating expenditures for each
fiscal year in more detail.
FY 2019-20 Local Revenue Measure Uses
Expenditures are broken into the following categories developed from the Local Revenue Measure ballot
language: 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 and Recreation/Senior Programs and Facilities and 9) Other Vital Services
and Capital Projects.

CONCLUSION
The REOC plays an important advisory and oversight role to the City Council and community by
reviewing, reporting and making recommendations on the use of Local Revenue Measure funds and
expenditures. The REOC’s input, along with community feedback at public meetings helps represent to
the City Council how residents envision use of Local Revenue Measure funding.
The City Council will discuss the recommendations from the REOC and the 2019-21 Financial Plan at
their June 4, 2019 meeting.
