Item Number: 2
DATE: March 26, 2019
FROM: Greg Hermann, Deputy City Manager
Prepared By: Ryan Betz, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: FY 2017-18 LOCAL REVENUE MEASURE ANNUAL COMMUNITY REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
1. Review and take public testimony on the 2017-18 Local Revenue Measure Annual Community
Report.
DISCUSSION
Background
Chapter 3.15 of the Municipal Code (the Essential Services Transactions [ Sales] and Use Tax)
includes specific citizen oversight and fiscal accountability provisions. One of these provisions
requires an annual community report:
Annual Community Report. A written report shall be reviewed at a public hearing by the
Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission, and a summary will be provided annually to
every household in the community detailing how much revenue is being generated by the
measure and how funds are being spent (MC 3.15.040.E).
Annual Community Report
The FY 2017-18 Annual Community Report was developed based on feedback from the REOC as well
as follow up meetings with an ad-hoc subcommittee that was tasked with providing detailed
recommendations. The Annual Community Report in Brief (Attachment 1) was included in the City
utility bills beginning March 15, 2019. The full Annual Community Report (Attachment 2) is available
at www.slocity.org/budget and will be featured on the homepage of the City’s website. The Annual
Community Report highlights projects and services, lists audited revenues and expenditures from FY
2017-18 and highlights of projects and their estimated completion updates for FY 2018-19.
Local Revenue Measure Uses
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, and 8) Parks and
Recreation/Senior Programs and Facilities and 9) Other Vital Services and Capital Projects. The Annual
Community Report provides the percentage and expenditure amount for FY 2017-18 in the following
format:
FY 2017-18 Annual Community Report Page 2
Actual operating expenditures for FY 2017-18 were approximately $2.5 M and capital expenditures were
approximately $4.8M totaling approximately $7.3M.
1. Operating Uses ($2.5M)
FY 2017-18 Annual Community Report Page 3
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 include funding three patrol officers and one sergeant.
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 the multi-year nature of capital improvement projects and savings from projects that
were completed under budget. In addition, project phases don’t always align with fiscal years so while
encumbrances for the use of funds may be in place they are not reflected as actual expenditures. 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 2. This list provides the total expenditure amounts for all Local Revenue Measure
operating and capital projects and matches the City’s adopted 2017-18 Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report.
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

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.
All existing funds for the Local Revenue Measure have been carried over or are already budgeted for the
current fiscal year.
Local Revenue Measure Revenues
Audited 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. The increase in revenue received is
due to higher than expected sales of goods and services.

2017-18 Local Revenue Measure funds were used on the following Council-adopted priorities:
HOW IS YOUR 1/2 PERCENT SALES TAX SPENT?
Neighborhood Paving
The concrete intersections at Palm/Johnson and Palm/Toro were
reconstructed and ADA compliant pedestrian improvements were made
at all curb corner ramps and crossings. Dana Street was repaved and also
received new crossings, and Madonna/LOVR was repaved and new bike
lanes were implemented creating safer routes for cyclists.
Public Safety
The Local Revenue Measure supports the City’s Police Department by
providing funding for officer positions. Funds were also used to purchase
emergency response vehicles for both the Police and Fire Departments.
Open Space
The City’s Conservation Plan for the Reservoir Canyon Natural
Reserve identified the need to provide increased trail access and
creek crossings to allow safer passage, particularly during winter
storms when the creek often floods parts of the trail. The installation
of a new 60-foot span bridge crossing is complete.
Flood Protection
Flood protection included annual replacement of failing corrugated
metal storm drain pipes throughout the City. Planned future projects
include replacement of storm drain pipes on Bullock, Buchon, at Santa
Rosa, Broad at Leff culvert, Old Garden Creek, Broad Street, Ellen Way,
Lakeview, and Woodbridge.
SPENDING HIGHLIGHTS
The Local Revenue Measure – also known as Measure G – is a one-half percent local sales tax
approved by City voters in November 2006. It protects and maintains 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. The Local Revenue Measure is subject to voter extension by March 31, 2023.
These community spending priorities help guide the Citizens’ Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission (REOC)
when making recommendations to the Council about Local Revenue Measure uses. The Council uses the REOC’s
input, and additional public feedback, to prioritize use of the Local Revenue Measure funding as part of the City’s
two-year financial planning process.
Local one-half-percent sales tax revenue totaled $7.5 million in 2017-18, which adds
approximately 12 percent to the general fund. The Local Revenue Measure has generated
more than $71 million since its original adoption in November 2006.

also included a new Heating, Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC) system throughout the facility.
Each year the San Luis Obispo Library sees approximately 163,000 visitors, and the upgrades have enhanced the

The Local Revenue Measure – also known as Measure G – is a
one-half percent local sales tax approved by City voters in November
2006. It protects and maintains 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.
The Local Revenue Measure is subject to voter extension in 2023.
The Local Revenue Measure is a general-purpose measure and, as such,
the proceeds are not restricted to specific purposes. This provides the
Council with flexibility to respond to new circumstances and challenges.
The voter-approved ballot language provides guidance to use local
sales tax revenue to protect and maintain essential services and
facilities and identifies examples of services and projects that achieve
this objective. These community spending priorities help guide the
Citizen’s Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission (REOC) when
making recommendations to the Council about Local Revenue Measure
uses. The Council uses the REOC’s input, and additional public
feedback, to prioritize the use of Local Revenue Measure funding as
part of the City’s two-year financial planning process.
WHAT IS THE LOCAL REVENUE MEASURE?
The Mission Plaza Railing project is part of ongoing
upgrades to ensure one of our most used public spaces
is safe and the area surrounding the creek can be
enjoyed by all.

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?

Agenda Report Meeting Date: 3/26/19
Item Number: 3
DATE: March 26, 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
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.”
Revenue
The current revenue projections for the Local Revenue Measure for the 2019-21 Financial Plan are as
follows:
City of San Luis Obispo, Title, Subtitle
Proposed 2019-21 Local Revenue Measure Expenditures Page 2
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% ($5,574,462) 29% ($2,237,989)
FY 2020-21 70% ($5,535,454) 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 1).
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:
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.
City of San Luis Obispo, Title, Subtitle
Proposed 2019-21 Local Revenue Measure Expenditures Page 3
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
City staff assembled the proposed 2019-21 Local Revenue Measure expenditures (Attachment 2) using
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. 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

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.

The ongoing maintenance of all fifteen City Open Space properties is premised on the protection of natural resources, including plants, animals, geologic and historic features and the natural areas themselves. Maintenance over the next two years will focus on fuel-reduction of the wildland-urban interface. Other routing maintenance includes: enhancement to existing trailheads, maintenance and construction of approved and sustainable trails and open space facilities for passive recreation purposes only, removal of illicit materials and trails, improved user and natural resource safety, land restoration and stewardship projects, invasive species treatment and control, erosion control and stabilization, education of users via patrols and community outreach.Open Space Acquisition 100,000 150,000 250,000 CThe City continues to actively pursue land purchases and conservation easements to enhance the greenbelt around the City which protects watersheds and maintains habitat connectivity. This funding is largely levered by grant funding to implement open space acquisition. Over the next two years, the City will focus efforts on securing a conservation easement for the Miossi Brothers La Cuesta Ranch, which is the next phase of the this project following the acquisition of the 266 acre Miossi Open Space in 2018-19.Laguna Lake Dredging and Sediment Removal (including bank stabilization) 150,000 500,000 650,000 The Laguna Lake Nature Reserve, including Laguna Lake, is 344-acres of City owned land. Laguna Lake is a naturally occurring water body although the lake and surrounding watershed have been modified including the rerouting of Prefumo Creek into Laguna Lake. This project, which focuses on maintenance dredging in focused areas on the lake, is scheduled to take place in 2019-20 and 2020-21.
