Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a sixth modification to agreement 10141(CCS) in the amount of $62,000 with Goodwin Simon Strategic Research (GSSR) for polling for Santa Monica’s potential revenue measures. This will result in a five-year amended agreement for a total not to exceed $385,800, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval. Summary The midyear budget update provides an opportunity to update the Council and the community on the City’s ten-year financial forecast and the growing challenges that it highlights, as well as present proposed midyear budget adjustments. While the nation’s economic expansion continues, the anticipated plateauing of local government revenues is clearly occurring due to growing trends including consumers shifting away from shopping in retail stores or using landline telephones; visitors shift to using ride share services that reduce parking usage; and especially as international issues and perceptions directly impact tourism. Intensified national and global economic and political tensions, publicity regarding wildfires, gun violence and homelessness, and recent travel restrictions due to the novel coronavirus epidemic are having a protracted negative impact on the region’s hotel industry and therefore on our Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)revenue. We project a shortfall of $5.4 million from budgeted TOT revenue. Federal Reserve decisions to lower interest rates have also negatively impacted investment income. This trend is tracking along the lines of the recession scenario projected in our May 2019 forecast, albeit two years earlier, and is resulting in a current year General Fund projected shortfall of approximately $2 million. Departments are already taking steps to resolve this year’s shortfall, strategically adjusting their use of resources to ensure that the General Fund remains balanced in FY 2019-20. Our six-year plan towards financial sustainability during this economically challenging time remains in place. However, the accelerated downward trend of revenue streams that we rely upon, as well as the eventual slowing down of the national economy, require us to take additional budget restructuring measures to avoid budget shortfalls during this time. Looking ahead to the second year of our biennial budget, the 3 of 25 $1.5 million in program restructuring, reductions or eliminations being considered by the Budget Task Force is essential to achieving a balanced budget. During the next biennial period, there is increasing consensus among economists that an economic slowdown at the national level will occur in 2021, which would result in a budget gap of $9.9 million in FY 2021-22 which, if left unchecked, could reach $43.2 million by the end of the forecast period in FY 2028-29. Obviously, the City will take the necessary steps to live within in its means. This will require hard decisions about enacting efficiencies, reductions, restructuring and elimination of programs as well as consideration of new or augmented revenue sources. The Budget Task Force will review a number of avenues to reach the $2.5 million reduction target already programmed for FY 2021-22, and staff will implement another $2 million in budget contraction measures by FY 2022-23. Future budget and forecast amounts include the continuation of the 13-year accelerated paydown of unfunded pension liability that will save the City over $100 million in interest costs over 30 years. At the same time, staff is considering a number of new tax revenue measures that can help address the shortfalls while also responding to community needs. This report gives a summary of the measures and requests that Council provide direction for staff to proceed with the analysis of the options shown and approve certain contracts to complete this work. Finally, in keeping with the difficult economic climate, midyear changes are kept to a minimum, with a net increase of 1.3 FTE in temporary positions to address critical needs, in addition to proposed changes to the City’s parking penalties and other fines. Proposed Midyear General Fund changes net $3.5 million in expenditures and $.0.8 million in Fund revenues. Citywide proposed expenditure increases net $8 million, while revenue changes total $23.4 million. 4 of 25 Discussion Economic Update The economic picture has become more complicated as national indicators increasingly differ from those at the local level. Broad national economic measurements show an economic expansion that continues as one of the longest in the post-World War II era. This growth is expected to continue in the near term at the national and State level, the latter of which is reaping the benefits through income tax revenue. However, there are signs that growth rates have peaked, supporting increasing consensus among economists that the economy is likely to experience a slowdown sometime within the next two years. At the State level, Governor Newsom’s proposed Budget for FY 2020-21 acknowledges the volatility of the State’s finances given its disproportionate dependence on income tax revenues and concerns about the future. The budget continues to build additional reserves towards maintaining budget resiliency, including increasing the constitutionally required “Rainy Day Fund” to a balance of $18 billion by the end of FY 2020 -21 and $19.4 billion by FY 2023-24. Also included are funds to pay down unfunded pension liabilities. Santa Monica’s economy has begun to show a marked weakness in some areas along with continued moderation in all other areas, resulting in a slowdown of overall General Fund revenue growth. Average annual growth over the last three years has been about 4% following growth rates of over 8% in the three years of recovery following the recession. Staff forecasts essentially no growth for the General Fund over the next two fiscal years and anticipates a slowdown in national, state, and local economies. Subsequently, modest revenue growth averaging slightly over 2% annually is projected over the remainder of the ten-year forecast period. While a slight economic slowdown is built into the long-term forecast, as with the State and national economies, a more significant downturn could significantly alter revenue projections. More information on some of the City’s key revenue sources is provided below: 5 of 25 • Property values in the City remain the third highest in Los Angeles County for a City with the 19th largest population. For the fifth consecutive year, the FY 2020-21 assessed value increase was within the range of 6%. However, moderate increases of approximately 3.5% are projected over the next ten years. • Sales tax (both sales and use and transaction and use tax) growth is expected to be modest, reflecting the continuing global shift of retail activity from brick and mortar businesses to on-line businesses, a softening in auto sales, and an overall slowing of the economy. City taxable sales are expected to be relatively flat in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 reflecting a decrease in economic activity, before recovering slightly to an annual growth rate of just over 2% for the remainder of the forecast. • Tourism, traditionally a major stimulus to the local economy that has created jobs and produced strong revenues, is showing signs of weakness. Transient Occupancy Taxes, which increased at an average annual rate of over 9% in the seven years through FY 2017-18, began to show a flattening trend in the beginning of 2019 and are projected to remain relatively flat through FY 2021-22. The recent addition of a luxury hotel with 271 rooms is helping offset declines from other properties and from home share units. Some of the reasons for the trend include geopolitical and economic uncertainties as well as publicity about wildfires, power outages, and crime and homeless concerns. A similar trend is seen throughout the region. • Business License Taxes are expected to remain relatively flat or decline slightly through FY 2023-24, reflecting an economic slowdown and several large taxpayers leaving the City, then show baseline growth of 1.9% thereafter. Utility Users Tax revenues are expected to grow 1-2% annually as increased revenues from water and wastewater utilities will offset declining revenues from telecommunication services. Parking Facility Taxes are expected to grow by approximately 1.5% annually over the forecast period. After rising for the first two years subsequent to the 2016 election, interest rates have dropped sharply in the last year and a half and are expected to remain relatively low, resulting in lower investment income than previously anticipated. 6 of 25 • Parking revenues remain a significant revenue source for the City, however several recent shifts in how people travel into and around the City have begun to impact this source. The number of parking transactions as well as how long visitors stay in the Downtown parking structures and lots have continued to decrease over the last few years. Leading the mode shift are ridesharing services and micro-mobility devices (i.e., scooters and e-bikes) in addition to increased ridership on the Metro Expo line, which provide more sustainable modes of transportation for visitors and community members. Council has approved rate revisions in recent years to encourage mode shift toward more sustainable transportation options as well as to maintain sufficient ongoing revenue streams that fund essential parking and mobility programs and operations. However, this area will require continued close monitoring, as emerging mobility trends may require future parking rate adjustments to mitigate any potential ongoing revenue declines throughout the forecast period. • The forecast also reflects annual cost of living adjustments for user fees and charges. The City will conduct a comprehensive City-wide cost of services study in FY 2020-21 to ensure fees are set at appropriate levels for full cost recovery. General Fund Financial Status Update Staff has completed three forecast scenarios that contemplate Baseline, Best, and Worst Case impacts on the General Fund. The chart below shows the three forecast scenarios. 7 of 25 The General Fund Financial Status Update reflects revised revenue projections as well as staff’s proposed operating and capital budget changes included in this staff report. The Baseline Scenario, which reflects the local revenue trends detailed in the Economic Update Section of this report, shows an initial projected shortfall of approximately $2.0 million in this fiscal year (FY 2019-20), with an ultimate shortfall of $43.2 million a decade from now. Over the term of the forecast, expenditures are anticipated to grow an average rate of 2.7%, while revenue growth will average 1.8%. Primary expenditure growth drivers continue to be pensions, health care, and insurance. General liability 8 of 25 insurance is a cost driver in addition to workers’ compensation insurance, reflecting an increase in claims in the past few years. The Best Case Scenario shows the impact if a national economic slowdown did not occur in 2021. In this scenario, revenues would exceed expenditures through FY 2022- 23, at which point expenditure increases in pension, healthcare, workers’ compensation and liability costs would inevitably absorb any revenue growth, bringing us back to a budget gap situation in FY 2023-24 that would persist throughout the forecast term, ending with an almost $16 million shortfall in FY 2028-29. For purposes of comparison, staff has also prepared a Worst Case Scenario showing the impact of a more severe recession, similar to the Great Recession. Such a recession would take a significant toll on the City’s Sales and Transient Occupancy Tax revenues, and would also have repercussions on all other revenues as a result of property value reassessments, a slowdown in our business sector, a decrease i n property sales and development, and further changes in consumer behavior. In this Scenario, the budget gap would widen to $8.8 million during the next fiscal year and by an additional $25 million the following year. As a stopgap measure to address the projected shortfall this fiscal year, all General Fund departments will reduce spending or increase revenues in amounts based on each department’s proportion of the total General Fund operating budget. As noted in the Summary section, staff is continuing work on measures to mitigate projected shortfalls in the out years through the Budget Task Force initiative and internal departmental changes, as well as through potential new revenues, as outlined below . Despite these measures, it is clear that we can no longer stay the course with how we do business and that additional restructuring, reduction and realignment of our operations will be necessary to achieve balanced budgets in the future. Revenue Enhancement Options As one of the strategic options to help mitigate the City’s projected budget deficits over the forecast period, staff is analyzing a number of different options for revisions to 9 of 25 existing tax rates as well as several options for new tax measures. All tax measures would require voter approval. The City will consider the feasibility, timing and structure of the potential tax measures outlined below. Measure Description Annual Revenue Forecast Transient Occupancy Tax Tax on lodging room rentals, currently 14% ~$5 million for each 1% increase Parking Facility Tax Tax on parking fees, currently 10% ~$1.1 million for each 1% increase Documentary Transfer Tax Tax on real estate transfers, currently $3 per $1,000 of sale value ~$3-$5 million for each $1.50 increase Vacancy Tax Tax on long-term vacancies ~$150k Excess Residential Rental Tax 2.5% Tax on rental gross receipts over $1 million. ~$2.6 million Business License Tax Modernizing Business License Tax ~$2 million to $5 million Transient Occupancy Tax The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) currently generates approximately 15% of General Fund revenues. The City of Santa Monica’s current tax rate of 14% was approved by voters in the November 2004 election. Several cities including Pasadena, Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Palo Alto levy a higher rate. An increase in the tax rate from 14% to 15% would generate approximately $5 million annually in additional revenues. Based on a $400 per night room rental rate, this increase would raise the average cost per stay by about $4 per night. A tax increase would impact Santa Monica’s hotels, tourists, and other visitors. Santa Monica has approximately 40 hotels, with nearly 4,000 total rooms and an average 85% occupancy rate—among the highest in the region. In addition, there are over 400 10 of 25 registered home-share properties. Over the last year, TOT revenues have been flattening due to geopolitical issues, a softening in the world economy, and various other factors, and this trend is projected to continue for the next few years. Parking Facility Tax Parking Facility Taxes currently make up 3% of the City’s General Fund revenues. The current rate of 10% has been in effect since the tax was implemented in 1992. An increase of 1% would generate approximately $1 million in additional revenues annually. The parking facility tax is assessed on all vehicles occupying a parking facility. Although the City has already increased rates for parking in public facilities and at on - street meters, the additional tax increase aligns with the City’s goal to disincentivize single-occupancy vehicle use. Documentary Transfer Tax Documentary Transfer Taxes currently make up 2% of the City’s General Fund revenues. The Tax is assessed on all property sales, both commercial and residential. The City’s current tax rate of $3.00 per $1,000 sales value (which is levied in addition to the County rate of $1.10 per $1,000) has been in effect since 1992. Increasing the current rate on all property sales to align with the City of Los Angeles’ rate—an increase from $3 per $1,000 to $4.50 per $1,000, could result in an additional $4.7 million in annual revenues. Alternatively, a tiered rate structure that would only increase rates on property sales over $3 million—roughly the top 20% of all property sales, by $2.00 per $1,000 could raise an estimated $4.5 million annually—roughly the same as a $1.50 increase on all properties. This revenue source can be very volatile in years where few large transactions occur and during times of economic stress. Additionally, the Los Angeles County Registrar- Recorder’s office, which administers, collects, and remits the tax to the City, does not currently have the ability to implement a tiered rate though it is open to looking at the issue. Finally, it is important to note that in November 2014, the City proposed a $6 Documentary Transfer Tax increase on all properties over $1 million, but the measure failed to pass by a vote of 57.8% to 42.2%. 11 of 25 Vacancy Tax Staff is analyzing the viability of a new Vacancy Tax that would incentivize property owners to return empty or under-utilized property to productive uses in a reasonable time frame and discourage the removal of properties from active uses in order to increase potential rental rates in the long term. While there are many options for structuring the tax, staff’s initial analysis focused on a model loosely based on the recent voter-approved Oakland model. Using long term vacancy rates (assumed to be six months) for commercial retail and multi-family residential spaces and applying a per parcel/unit rate ranging from $3,000 to $6,000, it is estimated that approximately $200,000-$300,000 in new revenues could be generated annually (exclusive of enforcement costs). Excess Residential Rental Tax The City currently levies a tax on residential rental properties with 4 or more units at a rate of 0.125% of their annual gross receipts. The City could create a tiered tax on residential property owners, in which residential property owners continue to pay the current rate (0.125%) for any Santa Monica gross receipts less than $1 million while property owners that report gross receipts in excess of $1 million would be taxed at a higher rate. A 2.5% tax, 20 times the current tax rate, on receipts in excess of $1 million could generate approximately $2.6 million in additional business license tax revenue. Approximately 2.5% or 74 out of more than 3000 existing residential property owners would be directly impacted by this tax increase. San Francisco, New York City, East Palo Alto and Berkeley imposed similar tax increases on residential and commercial property owners with rates that range from 1.25% to 3.9%. Business License Tax The City has had three comprehensive overhauls of the business license tax system over the last 60 years, which occurred in 1962, 1983, and most recently in 1990. Staff recommends a comprehensive Business License Tax Modernization to better reflect 12 of 25 today’s business sectors, broaden the tax base, and foster an equitable and effective taxing system. Below are high-level items that are essential for successful reform: 1. Modernization of Business License Classifications and Tax Rates: The City should evaluate the existing business license tax rate structure and industry classifications in an effort to continue to balance the tax obligation equitably across industries and to ensure tax rates are competitive with neighboring jurisdictions. The modernization would also consider imposing progressive tax rates on the highest grossing businesses operating in Santa Monica. 2. Expanding Economic Nexus: The City’s ordinance regarding the nexus for taxable operations should be expanded to include a business’s economic presence, as an alternative to the physical presence, in an effort to broaden the City’s tax base. San Francisco passed a measure that expanded nexus to include businesses or individuals having no physical presence in their jurisdiction but generating more than $500,000 in total gross receipts in the City. Examples of businesses that will now be subject to San Francisco’s tax include manufacturers that ship products to purchasers in the city or software companies that have customers that receive a benefit from the services in the city. Proposed Revenue Measure Timing The final decision as to which tax measures to pursue, the structure of each tax, and the timing for placement on the ballot will be recommended after research and polling are completed. Other Fund Status In other funds, similar to the General Fund, the impact of increasing pensions, the cost of significant initiatives such as water self-sufficiency and zero waste (in the Water and RRR Funds, respectively), capital costs (in the Pier and Beach Funds) and flattening revenues (as is the case with Big Blue Bus) are also putting greater stress on fund balances and/or will drive rate increases. 13 of 25 As the Water and Wastewater Funds make progress on numerous projects that will help achieve water self-sufficiency by 2023, including the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant Expansion Project in the Water Fund and the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) in the Wastewater Fund, additional funding is required in the short term to complete capital projects while also maintaining current operations and ensuring that water and wastewater fund reserve levels remain healthy. To address the funds’ ability to meet these needs, a water and wastewater rate study was conducted to set water and sewer bill rates for calendar years 2020 to 2024. At its January 28th meeting, Council adopted a resolution establishing a five-year schedule of water and wastewater rate adjustments effective March 1, 2020. Resource Recovery and Recycling (RRR) Fund will maintain a positive but decreasing fund balance until FY 2022-23 as the global market for recyclable materials is expected to worsen due to the China Waste Ban and RRR’s f und position is adversely impacted by the global domino effect. To address the projected shortfall, an operational study and solid waste rate study will explore ways to find expenditure efficiencies and identify additional cost recovery. Staff will likely recommend an increase to solid waste rates to respond to higher recycling costs, potentially new zero waste programming in order to achieve the goal of “Zero Waste by 2030” as outlined in the Council-approved Zero Waste Plan, and to ensure that the RRR Fund is self-sufficient. The Big Blue Bus (BBB) Fund will maintain a positive fund balance over the next nine years with the use of Municipal Operators Service Improvement Program (MOSIP) funds beginning in FY 2024-25. The forecast highlights BBB’s commitment to reimagining transportation service delivery in an ever-changing transit environment while simultaneously working to achieve the Council-adopted objective of electrifying BBB’s fleet. BBB’s fund balance reflects the department’s effort to identify operational efficiencies to mitigate rising budgetary costs associated with workers’ compensation, overtime, and supplies and expenses. In alignment with the City’s goal for zero- emissions by 2030, BBB introduced its first zero-emission battery electric bus (BEB) in August 2019. At its October 22, 2019 meeting, Council authorized the procurement of 14 of 25 18 more BEBs. BBB continues to make strides to close the gap between expenditures and revenues and expects to achieve a balanced budget over the ten -year-forecast. The Airport Fund five-year forecast indicates that the fund will generate adequate revenues to sustain its operations throughout the next five years. Airport closure is scheduled for January 2029. The Community Broadband Fund will maintain a positive fund balance throughout the next ten years. Community Broadband operations focus on providing high quality services at an exceptional value to the Santa Monica community. Community Broadband also monitors the changing telecommunications environment to advoc ate for sound, sustainable state and federal policies in support of community broadband. Beginning in FY 2019-20, surplus revenues from the Community Broadband Fund are moved to the General Fund to support citywide infrastructure and operations. The Beach Fund will maintain a positive fund balance during the forecast period. Beach parking revenues are projected to be relatively flat, with a potential rate increase in FY 2022-23. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan update will recommend the preparation of a business plan for the Beach, which will help to identify marketing opportunities to increase filming revenues for both the Beach and Beach House , event revenues for the Beach House, as well as additional opportunities for revenue generation. The Cemetery Fund will maintain a positive fund balance through FY 2028-29, although the inventory for plots would be depleted by FY 2029-30. Staff is in the process of assessing overall Cemetery operations, its staffing model and projected plot sales including green burial plots. Staff will explore options to reduce ongoing administrative costs at the Cemetery, including the possibility of the City maintaining the property while contracting out service operations, with the goal of keeping a positive fund balance. 15 of 25 The Housing Authority Fund has a projected operating shortfall of approximately $0.3 million to $0.9 million annually throughout the next ten years. This assumes a continuation of the current funding levels and no reductions to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding to housing authorities. The Housing Authority will continue to require an operating subsidy from Successor Agency residual payments set aside in the Special Revenue Source Fund. The Pier Fund is not able to sustain an adequate balance to cover both its operating costs and large capital expenditures. Capital needs that cannot be funded by the Pier Fund must compete with General Fund-supported capital needs. General Fund subsidies to support Pier Fund capital needs are projected to total $34.1 million over the ten-year forecast period. It has been Council practice to subsidize the Pier as a public space rather than create a loan receivable to the General Fund. The Pier Fund will require an operating subsidy from the General Fund in FY 2026-27 due to an anticipated decrease in lease revenues from construction impacts of the Pier Bridge Replacement Project. Strategic Changes to the FY 2020-22 Biennial Capital Improvement Program Budget Staff is taking a strategic approach to the forthcoming FY 2020-22 Biennial CIP Budget and Ten-Year Plan (through FY 2029-30) that will address budgetary constraints and limited staff capacity by assessing current efforts and focusing on projects that support the Council, City, and Community’s priorities and key initiatives. Funding will be allocated only to projects that meet one or more of the following criteria: • Support achievement of the desired outcomes and goals identified in the Framework for a Sustainable City of Wellbeing; • Currently in progress and/or were previously identified in the FY 2018-23 Five- Year Plan and deemed to be a current priority; • Considered urgent for public health and safety reasons; and/or • Have significant funding from special revenues or external agencies. 16 of 25 Furthermore, staff is modifying the City’s approach to long-term CIP planning. In the past, the Biennial CIP Budget included a Five-Year Plan with anticipated funding needs for projects planned or already in progress. The Five-Year Plan will be extended to 10 years beginning with the FY 2020-22 Biennial CIP Budget to inform long-term financial planning for the General Fund and enterprise funds, provide insight into future funding capacity, and facilitate the development of strategies needed to achieve long -term sustainability of a capital improvement budget that supports the City’s service objectives. FY 2019-20 Midyear Budget Adjustments The midyear budget review analyzes the budget status at the mid -point of the fiscal year and provides an opportunity to adjust revenue projections and make expenditure appropriation changes to most effectively maintain operations. Revenue Adjustments – General Fund Recommended revenue adjustments to the FY 2019-20 budget result in a net increase of $0.8 million. Significant changes include: • Transient Occupancy Taxes – Decrease of $5.4 million. As noted earlier, tourism has unexpectedly trended flat since the beginning of 2019. • Utility Users Tax – Decrease of $1.8 million due to a greater than expected decline in telecommunications taxes. • Investment Income – Decrease of $2.3 million reflecting unexpected decline in interest rates and the reduction in General Fund cash balances resulting from the transfer of Boeing/Gillette settlement funds to the Water Fund. • Parking Citations Fines – Decrease of $0.8 million due to less citation issuance. • Sales Taxes (including Measure GSH) – Increase of $5.5 million reflecting greater than anticipated revenue from several large new businesses and increased revenues from State and County pools due to t he impact of the “Wayfair” decision requiring tax collection on out-of-state internet sales. • Business License Taxes – Increase of $1.6 million primarily due greater than anticipated revenues from the top grossing taxpayers. 17 of 25 • Other Taxes – Greater than anticipated parking facility taxes ($0.4 million) and property taxes ($2.4 million). • Fees/Charges/All Other – Increase of $1.2 million due to reimbursement for mutual aid strike team deployments, increased building permit fees, and revenues from extension of shared mobility pilot, partially offset by decreases in loans from Southern California Edison for improvements to City facilities due to project delays and fewer sites permitted to install a wireless facility on City streetlights. Revenue Adjustments – Other Funds Significant revenue adjustments in other funds include: • Big Blue Bus Fund – Increase of $4.6 million to reflect funding marks from LA Metro. • Community Broadband Fund – Increase of $1.6 million to reflect increase in lit fiber services. • Housing Authority Fund – Increase of $5.4 million to reflect new Section 8 Housing Assistance Program vouchers. An explanation is shown in the expenditure section below. • Miscellaneous Grants Fund – Increase of $2 million to reflect the timing of the receipt of grant funds. • Resource Recovery and Recycling Fund – Decrease of $1.5 million to correct budget for projected rate increases in FY 2019-20. The rate study was deferred due to the delayed adoption of the Zero Waste Plan Update. • Special Revenue Source Fund – Increase of $3.7 million to reflect transportation impact fees from development agreements. • Stormwater Management Fund – Increase of $1.1 million to reflect higher than anticipated in-lieu fees from two development agreements. • Vehicle Management Fund – Increase of $2 million to reflect contributions from other funds for vehicle replacement and repairs. • Wastewater Fund – Increase of $1.1 million to reflect revenues from a development agreement. 18 of 25 • Water Fund – Increase of $1.3 million to reflect new water rates. A full listing of revenue adjustments is included in Attachment A. Operating Expenditure Adjustments – General Fund FY 2019-20 proposed General Fund operating expenditure appropriations result in an increase of $2.1 million. Significant appropriations include: • $1.8 million in increased transfers of Measure Y and GSH Transaction and Use Tax revenues to the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and for the affordable housing program, as a result of higher than anticipated revenues received. • $0.5 million increase to adjust the portion of Parking Structure 7 and 8 revenues paid to Macerich. This adjustment is consistent with the contractual agreement with Macerich. • $0.5 million decrease to reflect timing of bond issuance and debt service payment for the City Yards Modernization project. • $0.2 million increase to reflect extension of shared mobility pilot program. Operating Expenditure Adjustments – Other Funds FY 2019-20 proposed midyear appropriations include a net $2.6 million increase in other funds. Significant appropriations include: • In the Housing Authority Fund, a $2.9 million increase to reflect additional Section 8 Housing Assistance Program vouchers for two properties that were constructed under the HUD Section 202 program to provide affordable housing for very low-income elderly persons. As the HUD loans for the properties recently matured, affordability covenants on the properties expired. In order to provide continued affordability for the residents, the Housing Authority is now administering 203 housing vouchers at the properties. • In the Miscellaneous Grants Fund, a $0.5 million increase to reflect a new Metro Open Streets grant and adjustments to the federal Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME) Program funds and Los Angeles County Prop A O&M reimbursement program. 19 of 25 • In the Resource Recovery and Recycling, Beach, Pier and Cemetery funds, a $0.7 million decrease to reflect timing of bond issuance and debt service payment for the City Yards Modernization project. Personnel Changes This report includes staffing adjustments to reflect ongoing operational changes and results of classification and compensation studies. To control compensation costs, staff repurposed existing or vacant positions to areas needing additional attention. These changes result in a net increase of 1.3 FTE temporary employees and approximately $55,000 in FY 2019-20 in the General Fund and a net decrease of approximately $2,000 in other funds. While new classifications and salary rates are detailed in Attachment B (Salary Resolution), and Attachment C (staffing adjustments), information on the net increase in positions is below. In the General Fund, staff recommends creation of a new 0.5 FTE Volunteer Coordinator position to implement Praesidium, Inc.'s recommendations that the City centralize coordination and training of volunteers. This position will oversee and coordinate the recruitment, training, and monitoring of volunteers across City programs. Special emphasis will be placed on ensuring appropriate screening, tra ining, and monitoring of volunteers in programs serving youth, the disabled, the elderly or other vulnerable populations. The Community and Cultural Services Department will incubate the position and the development of a Citywide volunteer program for an initial 18- month period, after which time the position, associated budget and equipment will be transferred to the Human Resources Department. Staff also recommends the addition of 1.4 FTE as-needed positions to maintain adequate staffing ratios in the CREST program. Capital Improvement Program Budget Adjustments FY 2019-20 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) midyear budget changes include appropriations and budget adjustments to special revenue and enterprise fund projects and result in a $1.4 million net increase to the CIP budget. Budget changes are detailed in Attachment A, and the changes are summarized below. 20 of 25 Community Broadband Fund The City has entered into a contractual agreement, the City's Lit Fiber Agreement, with Los Angeles SMSA Limited Partnership dba Verizon Wireless, for a 5G Small Cell deployment leveraging the City's fiber optic network. This one -time expenditure appropriation of $1.2 million will fund the construction and installation for Verizon's deployment, and the corresponding revenue transaction of $1.2 million was collected from Verizon Wireless for the Community Broadband Enterprise Fund. Special Revenue Fund The Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway & 20th Street Bike Improvement Project will close a key bicycle and pedestrian network gap and serve as an important “first/last- mile” linkage between the Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway (MANGo) and Bergamot Expo Station. The Project would create a new multi-use path connection by linking discontinuous segments of Michigan Avenue across the I-10 Freeway at the 20th Street overcrossing between 19th Street and 21st Street. The City was awarded funding in 2016 to design and construct the project. Staff recommends allocating an additional $0.2 million in Transportation Impact Fee special revenue funds to exercise an option to purchase an easement from the Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences along the I-10 Freeway between 20th Court and 21st Street. The easement will be used to establish the pathway along the northerly side of the I-10 Freeway between 20th Court and 21st Street. The Cultural Arts Trust Fund was established to ensure that public art and cultural resources are present and sustained throughout the community, therefore it is necessary to require that private development projects in the City of Santa Monica include an element of public art or cultural facilities or, alternatively, contribute to a City arts fund for public art and cultural resources and facilities in lieu of installation of such art. Staff recommends a transfer of $0.1 million from the Cultural Arts Trust special revenue fund to the Public Art Conservation project. This transfer is allowed under the Trust Fund Use of Funds Statute, SMMC 9.30.170, and funds exist in the Trust Fund for this use. The funds are needed in the second half of FY 2019 -20 for the primary 21 of 25 purpose of completing conservation of the Tables of Content installation in Douglas Park. The work consists of eleven altered picnic tables that have been integrated into the landscape and natural elements of Douglas Park as an incorporated design element in the City of Santa Monica. Vehicle Management Fund Staff recommends appropriating $1.8 million of internal service contributions from other funds to the Vehicle Management. The collected contributions account for depreciation and fund future vehicle replacements. Parking Citation Fines and Penalties Parking citation fines and penalties were last adjusted in 2009 (except for certain fines imposed by and passed-through to the State). Parking enforcement personnel issue over 50 different types of violations, 30 of which are issued under the Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC). The City sets the fine and penalty amounts for these 30 violations. Approximately 91% of the violations cited under SMMC are for parking meter violations, street cleaning violations, preferential parking violations, disobeying posted regulations, and beach parking at certain times without a valid permit. The remainder of the citations are written under the California Vehicle Code Staff is proposing to generally align the City’s schedule of civil penalties for parking violations with the civil penalties for parking violations charged by the City of Los Angeles, where applicable. For violations for which Los Angeles does not have a fine, an increase from the standard current rate of $53 to $63 is proposed. The City is also adjusting and including fines related to inappropriate use of disabled placards. The current and proposed fine amounts for the most common citations are listed below: Violation Current Fine Proposed Fine Meters $53 $63 Street Sweeping $64 $73 Preferential Parking $64 $68 22 of 25 Disobey Posted Sign $64 $68 Beach Parking Violations $53 $63 State-Mandated Annual Fire Inspections Reporting Requirement for Fire Department With the signing of SB 1205 (Hill) on September 27, 2018 by the Governor, the California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.4 requires all fire departments to perform annual inspections pursuant to Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 and annually report to their administrating authority on their compliance. These sections mandate that annual inspections of all public and private schools, hotels, motels, and all apartment buildings be performed by the Fire Department. The Fire Department has completed annual fire inspections of these facilities for FY 2018 -19. A resolution to accept the City’s FY 2018-19 annual fire inspections report is included in Attachment F. Acceptance of Grant Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority Open Streets Grant Program 2020 Mini-Cycle In January 2019, the Metro Board approved initiation of a 2020 Mini-Cycle of the Open Streets Grant Program and the City of Santa Monica was awarded a grant in the amount of $250,000 for a one-day open street event. COAST allows pedestrian and bicycle access to the streets, while temporarily restricting automobile access, and provides experiential programming along the route. The event will connect the Expo Downtown Station to the Pier, Main Street, Ocean Avenue and the Prom enade. The goal is for attendees to experience and imagine a more people-powered and sustainable Santa Monica. Open Street events are one-day occurrences that close public streets to automobile traffic and open them for bicyclists and pedestrians in order to provide opportunities for walking, riding a bike, and riding transit possibly for the first time. In addition, they encourage future mode shift to walking, bicycling and public transportation, and promotes civic engagement to foster the development of multi-modal policies and infrastructure at the local level. The City of Santa Monica adds to this foundation 23 of 25 experiential programming that allows attendees to experience and engage with not only mobility, but art and sustainability in new ways. Professional Services Assistance with Revenue Measure Analysis Strategic Advisor Contract To continue to gauge the viability and to educate the community about potential tax revenue measures, City staff has sought the services of a strategic advisor to assist staff in evaluating potential voter response to various measures, identifying the most appropriate timing for identified measures over this time period, and in developing an overall communication plan. Vendor Selection Bidder Recommendation Best Qualified Person/Firm TBWBH Strategies Evaluation Criteria Experience, references, work plans/ timeline, project team, and cost. Municipal Code SMMC 2.24.190 RFPs Received William Berry Associates TBWBH Strategies RFP Data Posted On Posted On Advertised In (City Charter & SMMC) Vendors Downloaded Date Publicly Opened 12/23/2019 City's Online Bidding Site Santa Monica Daily Press 15 1/22/2020 Justification to Award An evaluation committee comprised of staff from the Housing and Economic Development Department, Finance Department, and City Manager’s Office evaluated the proposals according to the criteria set out in the RFP. Based on relevant knowledge, prior experience, references, and costs the City recommends TBWBH Strategies to provide strategic advisory services to the City of Santa Monica. The term would be for five years at a not to exceed amount of $165,000. Opinion Research Contract Additionally, the City would like to modify an existing contract with Goodwin Simon Strategic Research (GSSR) to complete community surveys in addition to a resident 24 of 25 survey during spring 2020 to determine community interest in the various revenue measures. The City entered into an agreement with GSSR on February 29, 2016 to conduct the City’s annual resident survey, a scientific survey of all Santa Monica residents which assists the City in identifying community priorities and needs. The City last modified the agreement in June 2019, the fifth modification, to fund the 2020 resident survey, planned for May 2020. GSSR’s familiarity with the City and resident concerns will add value to the project. Staff recommends modifying the existing contract with GSSR for $62,000, for a total not-to-exceed total of $385,800. The term of the contract, through June 2021, would remain unchanged.

and WHEREAS, there is a constant and heavy demand on police services; and WHEREAS, false alarms are significant and unnecessary drains on precious police resources; and WHEREAS, diversion of police resources to respond to false alarms hampers response efforts for actual emergencies and thus endangers public safety; and WHEREAS, Chapter 3.56 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code authorizes the imposition of a police false alarm response fine; and WHEREAS, false fire alarms responses result in the reduction of significant Fire Department resources necessary for response to actual emergencies, thereby causing a negative impact on the overall safety of the community; and 3 WHEREAS, historical records of false fire alarm responses indicate that many locations have had three (3) or more emergency responses to false fire alarms during the same fiscal year; and WHEREAS, Chapter 8.44.150 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code authorizes the imposition of a false fire alarm response fine to recover the Fire Department’s costs in responding to repetitive false alarms and provides that such fine shall be set by resolution of the City Council; and WHEREAS, library fines ensure that library materials are returned so that libraries can serve their primary purpose; and WHEREAS, the Library Board, which has charge of the administration of the Santa Monica Public Library and empowered to make and enforce such by-laws, rules and regulations as may be necessary for the administration, government and protection of the City Library, has approved of these fines; and WHEREAS, on June 25, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 10754 (CCS) to adopt fines and to consolidate prior resolutions adopting fines in order to streamline the process for adopting and collecting City fines and to further allow the public to more easily gather information about such fines; and WHEREAS, since 2013, the City has regularly updated its consolidated master fine schedule; and WHEREAS, on September 24, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 11202 (CCS) (“Resolution 11202”) to update its consolidated master fine schedule to establish non-standard fine amounts for violations of Sections 4.27.030 and 4.27.040 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code to enhance enforcement of housing 4 protections; and establish a non-standard fine amount for violations of home-sharing and vacation rental regulations as set forth in Section 6.20.030 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, most recently, on January 14, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 11221 (CCS) (“Resolution 11221”), which amended the schedule of civil penalties for parking violations to include a new non-standard fine for parking non- charging vehicles in a space designated for use of a public electric vehicle station in violation of Santa Monica Municipal Code Section 3.16.242; WHEREAS, the City now desires to amend and restate its master fine schedule with amendments to the schedule of civil penalties for parking violations in order to: align the City’s schedule of civil penalties for parking violations with the civil penalties for parking violations charged by the City of Los Angeles; and NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.

SECTION 2. REPEAT VIOLATIONS: The administrative citation fine amount for a second violation of the same Municipal Code provision by the same responsible party within thirty-six (36) months from the date of an administrative citation shall equal one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the fine amount listed in this Resolution for a first violation of that Municipal Code section at the time of the second violation. The 5 administrative citation fine amount for a third and any subsequent violation of the same Municipal Code provision by the same responsible party within thirty-six (36) months from the date of an administrative citation shall equal one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the fine amount listed in this Resolution for a first violation of that Municipal Code section at the time of the third, or as applicable, subsequent violation. SECTION 3.

APPROVED AS TO FORM: ________________________ LANE DILG City Attorney Exhibit 1 Compliance Report EXHIBIT 1 Santa Monica Fire Department 333 Olympic Drive 2nd Floor Santa Monica, CA 90401 Bill Walker Fire Chief City of Santa Monica February 25, 2020 Mayor and City Council After the tragic 2016 “Ghost Ship Fire” in Oakland that killed 36 people, Senator Jerry Hill introduced SB 1205 The Fire protection services - Compliance Reporting. The bill was passed, and Section 13146.4 was added to the States Health and Safety Code last year. With the signing of SB 1205 (Hill) on September 27, 2018 by the Governor, the California Health and Code was amended by adding Section 13146.4, that requires that all fire departments required to perform annual inspections pursuant to Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 shall report annually to its administrating authority on its compliance with Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3. These sections mandate that annual inspections of all public and private schools, hotels, motels, lodging houses, and all apartment buildings be performed by the fire departmen t. The purpose of annual fire inspections is to mitigate known hazards, reduce risk to the community and ensure reasonable compliance with the California Fire Code. The Fire Department completed all initial annual fire inspections of these facilities for F iscal Year 2018-2019. The California Building Code also specifies that condominiums should be considered apartments for building code application. An apartment shall consist of three or more attached units and excludes all duplex style buildings. Last fiscal year, the Fire Department inspected 3,829 apartment/condominium buildings with three units or greater. This bill requires every city or county fire department or district to perform the above -described inspections to report annually to its administering authority on the department or district’s compliance with the above-described inspection requirements. The bill also requires the administering authority to acknowledge receipt of the report in a resolution or a similar formal document. Further, the acceptance of this compliance report and the recommended Resolution fulfill the statutory requirements contained in California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.2, 13146.3 and 13146.4, as amended by SB 1205. The following is the mandated reporting of the inspections from the Santa Monica Fire Department for the Fiscal Year 2018-2019.

Honorable Council Members,   I write to you today to encourage you to vote against the increase in pay for the Transit Maintenance Manager and  Assistant Director of Transit Services for the following reasons.   I speak on behalf of many of my coworkers in the Big Blue Bus who find it both concerning and insulting that we would  be giving over 14% pay raises to the top tier managers while at the same time the city hasn’t given a raise to most of my  peers/coworkers in decades beyond a marginal increase in cost of living allowance that has objectively not kept up with  the cost of living increases.   We find it insulting that this pay raise is authorized while at the same time the workers, administrators and labor  employee effective income recedes in value each year while the city top managers continue to see annual increases,  utilizing reorganization and reclassifications to the tune of some of the highest increases in pay within our nation for  similar job titles.    Not to mention the fact that now the city is going after our pers, pension, and medical benefits adding insult to injury.   The audacity to believe that these increases in pay for the top level managers is acceptable at the same time this is going  on to the thousands of lower paid workers is insulting and disgraceful.   We all want to see good people excel, and be fairly compensated but we’ve sat by and listened to the outcry about how  we are overpaid, and how our benefits are unaffordable while this sort of stuff continues to happen, it’s wrong and I for  one do not believe this should be further enabled or supported.   While the people in these positions are genuinely good people, the current climate and timing from where we stand  does not justify these increases. It wasn’t but a little over a year ago that the city was discussing concerns about the  fiscal solvency of the Big Blue Bus with regard to a decline in ridership yet somehow we have the money to justify a 14%  or more increase to some of the top paying positions in our department?   I know some of you know this is wrong and I encourage you to find it within yourselves to vote against this and demand  things to settle down within the city before considering giving raises to some of the higher paid managers. Settle these  other matters first then the rest of us will be more supportive of such significant increases in pay.   With the sincerest of respect, I thank you for your time and consideration.   Tori Rhoades
