Statler, Director of Finance SUBJECT: BUDGET STUDY SESSION CAO RECOMMENDATION Continue to review and discuss the Draft Capital Improvement Plan and other issues related to the Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan DISCUSSION At the April 29, 1991 Budget Study Session, the Council was provided with an overview of the: I ■ Financial outlook for 1991-93 ■ Budget review process ■ Recommended major city goals ■ Proposed situation oriented response team (SORT) in the Police Department ■ Draft capital improvement plan (CIP) The briefing on the Draft CIP concluded with the Public Safety and Public Utilities sections. As such, it is anticipated that the May 13, 1991 Budget Study Session will continue with the remaining sections of the Draft CIP (Transportation, Leisure, Cultural & Social Services, and General Government). Since the Draft CIP was distributed to Council, one additional project has been proposed for Council consideration: installation of video security cameras at the Marsh Street Parking Structure. At an estimated cost of $25,000, this project is proposed for 1992-93. The CIP request for this project is provided in Attachment A. Prelimmmy Fumncud Plan Davibutwn In addition to concluding the Council's review of the Draft CIP, it is anticipated that the Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan will be distributed to the Council by May 13, 1991. Although an orientation to the document's organization will be made at the meeting as well as an overview of key financial plan highlights, no staff presentations or Council discussion of the specific contents of the Preliminary Financial Plan is anticipated at the May 13, 1991 Budget Study Session; that is the purpose of the public hearing currently scheduled for June 11, 1991. However, distribution of the Preliminary Financial Plan by May 13, 1991 will enable the Council and public to have an adequate period of time to review the contents of the document prior to public hearings on this matter. Adoption of the Financial Plan has been tentatively scheduled for June 18, 1991; however, June 25, 1991 has been previously set aside if required for final budget adoption. ��� � i�lll{Ilfll i° ��Ulll city of San 1Ui S OBISPO COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Budget Study Session Follow-up During the Budget Study Session of April 29, 1991, the Council requested information regarding the following six items: Comparative Sales Tax Projections Information regarding projected increases in local, regional, or state-wide sales tax revenues in comparison to projections for San Luis Obispo was requested. Staff is currently preparing this information, and a brief presentation is planned for the May 13, 1991 Budget Study Session in response to this request. Budget Reference Documents The Draft Capital Improvement Plan (as well as the Preliminary Financial Plan) references a number of policy documents. Staff was requested to ensure that these documents are available for review in the Council offices. This has been done. CIP Project Contacts A request was made to provide the names of specific staff members relative to any questions on the details of CIP projects. A listing of responsible Department Heads and key contact staff members is currently being prepared and will be distributed to Council members under separate cover. Police Station Heating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Improvements A request was made that staff investigate the potential for securing evidence and other items in areas of the Police Station where windows are not available, and then relocating staff to areas with windows. The feasibility of converting existing fixed windows to windows which can be opened should also be considered as a part of this analysis. The Police Chief will be prepared to brief the Council members on this issue at the May 13, 1991 Budget Study Session. Salinas Reservoir Water Rights The Council asked for a report on the status of the water rights issue and Salinas Reservoir. The Utilities Director is preparing a report to be distributed to Council under separate cover. Child Care Policies The Council directed staff to work with the Personnel Board to develop formal policies related to child care. A communication item and proposed set of policies was provided by Councilwoman Rappa as a part of the agenda packet. The Personnel Director is following- up on this request as an issue separate from the budget process. �'s2 ���H�� ►►�111011�I° IIUIII city of san lui s a3i spo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ANWinmg Policy Issues Revenue highlights, key policy issues, major City goals, and significant expenditure and staffing changes will be comprehensively addressed in the appropriate sections of the Preliminary Financial Plan. However, three issues should be highlighted for the Council's consideration, although no action is recommended at this time: BIA Funding During 1990-91, the General Fund transferred $45,000 to the BIA Fund in order to fund operations not covered through the BIA's own revenue sources. For 1991-93, no General Fund subsidies are recommended. Based on projected revenues and a proposal to transfer downtown sidewalk cleaning to the General Fund, the BIA should be able to fund current operations from their own revenue sources. In the event that the BIA believes that augmented funding above the level supported by their own revenues is required, staff and the BIA have agreed that they will separately identify and submit for Council consideration j specific programs or projects which they believe that the General Fund should support. Cultural Activity Grants and Promotional Contracts At this time, the Preliminary Financial Plan reflects "status quo" funding for cultural activity grants and promotional contracts. The Promotional Coordinating Committee (PCC) is currently reviewing proposals, and at this time, it is anticipated that their recommendations will be submitted for Council consideration at the regular Council meeting scheduled for June 4, 1991. Accordingly, the final staff recommendation for funding these activities will be made at that time. T.O.T. Revenue Allocation Policy The proposed revenue distribution policy for Transient Occupancy Taxes (T.O.T.) is currently based on the draft policy submitted for Council consideration at the March 18, 1991 Budget Study Session. Under the proposed policy, 20% of T.O.T. revenues would be allocated for cultural activities,community promotion,and economic development purposes. This policy recommendation was subsequently reviewed and discussed by the PCC on April 15, 1991. It was the consensus of the PCC at this meeting that a specific allocation of the T.O.T. should be made for community promotion purposes only. The PCC was uncertain as to what would constitute "economic development" activities, and they recommended that community promotion be funded with a specific portion of T.O.T. revenues in order to ensure stability and continuity of the City's support for its tourist industry. The Council may wish to consider two alternative policies: ■ Discontinue any earmarking of T.O.T. revenues The City's revenue distribution policies recognize that the practice of earmarking of General Fund revenues for specific programs should be minimized in the administration and management of our financial affairs. Discontinuing the earmarking of T.O.T. revenues would be consistent with this policy statement. /-3 mN�►�►i��IIIIIII�II��������ll city of San 1111S OBISPO COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ■ Allocate 10% of T.O.T. revenues directly to community promotion With this approach, a specific distribution of T.O.T. revenues would be made for tourist promotion. For 1991-93, a 10% distribution would result in an allocation of $458,000 over two years based on current T.O.T. revenue projections. The Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan currently provides$437,000 over the next two years for community promotion. This alternative would continue the traditional practice of allocating a portion of T.O.T. revenues for community promotion purposes. Although the PCC would undoubtedly prefer a higher percentage, this alternative would clearly establish a specific distribution of T.O.T. revenues for community promotion purposes which is equal to or greater than past budget allocations. SUMMARY In preparation for the Council's review of the Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan on June 11, 1991, it is recommended that the Council: ■ Continue to review and discuss the Draft Capital Improvement Plan ■ Receive the Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan ■ Consider remaining policy issues regarding BIA funding, cultural activity grants, promotional contracts, and T.O.T. revenue distributions ■ Receive follow-up information from the April 29, 1991 Budget Study Session As discussed above, no formal Council action on any of these items is recommended at this time. 91-93FP2\5-13RPT.YPF 1991-93 Financial Plan kequest Attachment .A . . CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROGRAM: Parking REQUEST TITLE: Parking Garage Video Surveillance Systems Project Description Install video surveillance systems in the Marsh Street parking garage at a cost of $2.5,000 in 1992/93. Project Objectives ■ Reduce vandalism ■ Protect parking patrons Existing Situation Since its opening in November 1990, the Marsh Street garage has been plagued with continual vandalism of the building and harassment of the garage patrons. To a lesser degree the Palm Street garage has suffered similar problems since its opening. The city has hired security guards to successfully control these problems on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. This additional security costs $20,000 each year. Goal and Policy Links ■ Adopted parking program goal• adequate, s- afe and attractive parking for visitors, customers and employees in the downtown Project Work Completed The parking staff has discussed these security problems with other cities and learned that video surveillance seems to be a cost-effective solution. The staff has also discussed preliminary designs and cost estimates with dealers.

Alternatives ■ Defer the project. Delaying the equipment installation would subject the building to continued vandalism and the public to continued harassment. ■ Hire additional security guards. This option might solve the problem but it would cost $25,000435,000 annually for full security six nights a week. Parking Garage Video Surveillance Systems (continued) Project Effect on the Operating Budget This project would reduce the cost of repairing property damage and might prevent costly liability if parking patrons were injured. Also, the cost of contract security services could be reduced by $12,000 each year.

Will you permittwo members of the ATTF to address the council regarding the transportation items of the Capital Improvements Budget on Monday June 19, 1989? We will arrange a mutually convenient time for our presentation in advance. I will contact John Dunn, City Administrator prior to the hearing. The two presentations will be limited to five minutes each. One will address mass transit alternatives and the other will address bikeway improvements. The purpose of the presentations will be twofold. First, to summarize and organize what has already been presented on these issues. Second, to present detailed proposals to the council with project objectives, cost estimates, and time frames. Enclosed with this letter is a proposal for bikeway improvements for the next four fiscal years based on an allocation of $400,000 per year. Very truly yours, Edwin J.

Project Objectives - Provide facilities, opportunities and incentives for people to use bicycles as an alternative to the automobile. Reduce traffic congestion, automobile emissions, and parking problems. A. Create a continuous network of bikeways to serve all neighborhoods and business districts so that the convenience of bicycles competes with the convenience of the automobile. 1. Require sponsors of all annexations proposals, specific plans, subdivisions or development projects to provide sufficient right-of-way and construct bike paths. 2 . Where traffic levels exceed 10, 000 ADT along designated bike routes, reserve at least 8 feet of space at the edge of the roadway for a bike path. If necessary, remove curb-side parking along these streets to create these bike paths. 3 . In peripheral city expansion areas (Orcutt, Dalidio, Irish Hills, Airport Areas) , establish a network of bike paths that are separated from roadways, using open space, utility, or flood control (creek) easements. 4. Use the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way as a continuous bike route linking city neighborhoods with Cal Poly University (Cal Poly to Tank Farm road) . 5. Construct a Class I bikeway from downtown along the Highway 101 right-of-way to Laguna Lake and onto Foothill Boulevard. 6. Draw upon the substantial experience, expertise and data on design construction, and implementation available from the cities of Davis, CA, Boulder, CO, and Madison, WI. 7. Require employers with more than 10 employees to provide bike lockers or other forms of enclosed bicycle parking at the work site. S. Require employers with more than 25 employees to install showers, lockers and dressing areas at the work site. 9. Provide bike racks on the backs of city busses and regional transit vehicles. 10.Provide bicycle parking in preferential locations in commercial centers and in the downtown civic center. B. Provide incentives for people of all ages to use bicycles as a regular form of transportation and for area employers to encourage the work force to use bicycles. 1. Ask Cal Poly University to incrementally reduce registration fees for students who can document that they do not own or operate a car and who secure a bicycle license from the city. 2. As a demonstration program, allow city government employees who ride a bike to work to arrive 15 minutes later and leave 15 minutes earlier than normal. If successful, ask county and state agencies to do the same. 3. As an experimental program, allow senior high school students who ride a bike to school to leave school 30 minutes before those that drive cars. 4. Reduce the annual business license fees for employers who provide on-site enclosed bicycle storage and can document that at least 25% of their work force uses bicycles as a regular form of commute transportation. 5. Create a community bicycle repair facility at the city corporation yard and jointly sponsor repair clinics with area cycling clubs and the recreation department. C. Establish an ongoing program for funding the construction and installation of bicycle facilities throughout the community. 2. Use revenues generated by APCD air quality mitigation fees to help support facility costs of bicycle programs. 3. Support proposals to increase county sales tax levels by at least one half cent to help fund bicycle facilities. 4. Allocate funds in the neighborhood of $50, 000 per year for education of the public on the safe and convenient use of bicycles. our focus the first year should be on providing linkage between neighborhoods and business districts by completing existing Class II bikeways which currently are not connected. The goal of connecting the existing system should be accomplished together with an aggressive education program. The City should allocate at least $50, 000 to education the first year. Possibly with a comprehensive education program linkages between existing bikeways can be accomplished without too much negative reaction on the politically sensitive issue of removing on-street parking. The removal of curb parking should be more than adequately compensated for by the new City parking garages. Two major projects which should be addressed the first year are a north-south route through town (i.e. Chorro or Broad) and a continuous route to Cal Poly. What follows are project descriptions with cost estimates where they are available from City data. Funds should be set aside for City staff to study the cost and design of the other projects. 1989-90 PROJECT DESCRIPTION COST 1. Palm St, Broad to Grand. Provides link with current unknown Class II bikeway to Cal Poly. Eliminate curb parking. Alternative use Mill St. 2. A major artery through downtown. Higuera and/or Marsh. unknown Eliminate curb parking on one side. Possibly change to diagonal parking on one side and bike lane on the other which may "save" some parking. Bulbouts at intersections 3. Johnson Drive from Ella to Orcutt. Change to one lane of minimal traffic each way (see latest circulation study - two lanes are not necessary) left turn lanes, two curbside parking two Class II bike lanes. 4. Johnson Drive, Marsh to Ella. Eliminate curb parking but $50, 000 provide neighborhood parking lot along Pismo north of (parking Johnson. lot) 5. Study the possibility of widening only the bike lage unknown along Orcutt from Broad to Johnson thereby, avoiding land acquisition costs. 6. Study the feasibility of a major north-south artery unknown along Chorro (or Broad) from Highland to High, including providing off-street parking lots. 5. Establish a city policy which earmarks a certain portion of new funding sources (i.e. traffic impact fees from developers, local sales tax increases, federal, state and Ocounty funding) to the integrated bikeways plan. Existing Situation - Over one-half of the air pollution emitted in the San Luis Obispo area is generated by motor vehicles. The city has not, yet adequately achieved the four goals of the 1985 Bicycle Facilities Plan as stated on page II-26. The city is without a fully integrated bikeways system which links all neighborhoods and business districts Goal and Policy Links - Within five years bicycles shall provide 20% of Average Daily Trips (ADT) . This will permit the City to meet state air quality standards based on a projection of 725, 000 ADT. Project Work Completed - none.

Discussion As mentioned above our five year goal should be 20% ADT by bicycle. Graph B (see next page) shows that both Davis CA and Madison, WI have achieved that level. Graph C shows that Davis and Madison have 8.2 and 5. 3 miles of bikeways (Class I,II and III) per 10, 000 population, respectively. Therefore, our aim should be between 5.5 and 9 miles of bikeways per 10, 000. The City currently has 2.4 miles of bikeways per 10, 000 population as shown in Graph C. What follows is a draft proposal for implementation of an integrated bikeways plan for each of the next four fiscal years within the proposed $400, 000 Annual Capital Improvements Budget. 7.

County staff will be recommending that the Board not adopt the proposals of the Task Force, and instead implement the fees allowed under this very bad legislation.

The Board of Supervisors will consider the proposal at their meeting on May 14th. Members of a Task Force composed of representatives from the Coalition of Cooperative Government of San Luis Obispo County, and the Board of Supervisors, have agreed to a proposal regarding implementation of fees provided for in SB 2557. The Task Force has been meeting since April 4th to provide an alternative to the collection of jail booking fees and property tax administration fees which were strongly opposed by cities and school.districts throughout the county. The law was passed in 1990 to provide counties with a revenue source to offset other reductions in state funding. Cities and school districts are also experiencing significant shortfalls and do not think it is fair to pay for services which have traditionally been provided at no charge by the county. The cost of full implementation of the booking and property tax administration fees would be over 3 million dollars in San Luis Obispo county. Under the proposal, the Board of Supervisors would join with the Cities and School Districts of the county to affirm their opposition to effects of SB 2557, and to pledge to work together for a more stable and adequate funding base for local services. The Resolution also calls for continued cooperation in the future. It is hoped that the Board of Supervisors would adopt the proposed resolution at their meeting on May 14, 1991, and that the cities and school districts in the county would adopt similar resolutions. The proposal also calls for no fees to be charged to cities for booking of prisoners, or to school districts for the collection of property taxes. for 1990-91. Pending a review of possible new revenues and cost reduction measures, fees also may not be charged for 1991-92. A final report is due to the Board of Supervisors by September 30, 1991. Some of the options for increasing revenue include a joint program by all law enforcement agencies in the county to collect outstanding warrents; cost shaming of prog rams; increase in the transient occupancy tax county wide, assessment of a utility tax, and joint efforts to increase yields on investments. The proposal is unique in the state in that it represents a overnn1ent rather than a more . cooperative effort from all levels of local g counties in the state as the result divisive result which has occurred in many of SB 2557.

County adopts discretionary portion of SB 2557 fees, at zero fee for 90- 91, and zero fee for 91-92, with deferred implementation for 91-92 pending: a) a thorough review of implications of totally rejecting SB 2557 (e.g.,impact on future State revenues to County), and b) the Task Force conclude their short term recommendations for revenue enhancement or cost reductiong. The review and recommendations are to be concluded by September 30, 1991. 3. All law enforcement agencies join forces using existing personnel to collect outstanding warrants. 4. Cities and County agree to pursue a "County-wide" TOT of at least 9%. 5. Cities and County agree to consider a utility tax (revenues to be kept locally) to meet °new° revenue needs. 6.

The conference will be coordinated by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission and focus on issues relating to "Children at Risk". The purpose of the conference will be to increase inter-agency coordination in providing services for "Children at Risk" and to identify areas where improvements could be made to the present system for delivering services to juveniles. Topics anticipated to be covered during the conference will range from child abuse protective services to public safety and probation. All local agencies with responsibilities for juvenile justice have agreed to participate in the conference, including the City's Police Department (which is supportive of participating in the conference). All cities and the County have been requested to contribute funding to the conference. As demonstrated in the attached letter from District Two Supervisor, Mr. Lawrence Laurent, he intends to request the Board of Supervisors to set aside $1,000 in the 1991- 92 budget for the conference. The monies generated from the cities and county will be used to offset costs of sponsoring the conference. Any monies remaining after the conference has taken place would be put into a reserve and used to match State grant funds currently available for "Children at Risk" pilot programs.

Box 8100 San Luis Obispo, CA 93403 Honorable Mayor Dunin and City Councilmembers: I would like to. invite your council to consider its participation in a very important conference scheduled for October 17, 1991. The conference will focus on issues related to "Children-At-Risk" and will involve all local agencies with responsibilities for juvenile justice and welfare, ranging from child abuse protective services to public safety and probation. The chief purpose of the conference will be to increase inter-agency coordination of our current (and limited) resources to meet a growing demand for services and to explore whether a restructuring of the present multi-agency system is necessary and possible which will hopefully result in savings to city and county budgets. This is a timely and critical issue which needs the support and cooperation of all involved. What's at stake is our ability to meet our responsibilities to help children at risk so . that they will become productive and healthy citizens who will contribute to ( society rather than detract from it. I would like to ask you to consider lending financial support to help this conference to happen. I will be asking the County Board of Supervisors to allocate $1, 000. 00, in its' 1991/1992 budget, to the conference committee; and I hope your city will join with us in contributing whatever you think appropriate. If you would like more information on the conference, I invite you to contact C. Z. Brown, Juvenile Justice Commissioner (473-0128) , or Jim Brabeck, also a Juvenile Justice Commissioner (543-3751) . I would also ask that you consider a contribution to this conference not as a donation but as an investment in two worthy goals: 1. Better serving a growing segment of our youth, and 2. Stretching (and hopefully saving) precious tax dollars. Whether your council decides to participate or not, would you please address your response to Mr. C. Z. Brown? His address is: 350 Old Ranch Road, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420. APR$� .

The rationale for retaining the member was that he was "valuable." Look, I hope we consider all members valuable! This justification means that if we decide we have to replace someone, then somehow we don't deem them "valuable." This is not a good situation and will only lead to further value judgments. People can get themselves over-committed -- and it's not fair to the rest of the members of any commission to let the absenteeism "ride." Please be consistent on this policy so that the work doesn't fall on just a few. Could we please get feedback on this from the two Council representatives involved? Thank you.
