Summary
As presented to City Council on May 25, 2021, the FY 2021-23 Proposed Biennial
Budget (Attachment L) is a balanced budget that positions Santa Monica to emerge
from the COVID-19 emergency orders and accompanying restrictions and cultivate a
revitalized local economy that reflects and services our diverse community.

This report presents information and requests actions necessary to adopt the first year
of the FY 2021-23 Biennial Budget and the second year of the FY 2020-22 Biennial
Capital Improvement Program Budget for the City of Santa Monica, the Santa Monica
Housing Authority, and the Santa Monica Parking Authority. Staff also requests that
Council approve the operating budget plan for the second year of the Biennial Budget.
Since the City Charter requires Council to adopt a budget annually, staff will submit the
FY 2022-23 budget plan to Council for formal adoption, with any necessary revisions, in
June 2022.
The Budget leverages one-time American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to expand
services in areas that address the community priorities adopted by Council on March
13, 2021. The community priorities are:
• Addressing Homelessness: Prevent housed Santa Monicans from becoming
homeless; address the behavioral health needs of vulnerable individuals;
advocate for regional capacity to address homelessness; and maintain access to
safe, fun, and healthy open spaces.
• Clean and Safe Santa Monica: Create an atmosphere marked by clean and
safe public spaces and neighborhoods.
• Equitable and Inclusive Economic Recovery: Cultivate equitable and inclusive
economic opportunity and recovery, including access for all community members
to educational, employment, and economic resources and opportunities, and
create a community where differences in life outcomes cannot be predicted by
race, class, gender, disability or other identities.
Underlying the allocation of funds are the Council-adopted values of Accountability,
Equity, Inclusion, Innovation, Resilience, Safety, and Stewardship. These values guide
our efforts to reopen, serve customers, develop policies, and design operations.
The City released its Proposed Budget for FY 2021-23 on May 10, 2021. At Budget
Study Sessions on May 25 and May 26, 2021 (Attachment L), Council asked staff
detailed questions and heard extensive public testimony. After discussion, members of
Council expressed support for the proposed budget and asked staff to reexamine
certain elements of the Proposed Budget to support Council-identified community
priorities. Staff has made some adjustments to the FY 2021-23 Proposed Budget to
reflect changes based on Council direction, new information, corrections, and routine
technical adjustments that had not been included in the initial budget. The overall FY
9.B
Packet Pg. 221
4 of 22
2021-22 Proposed Budget as revised is $706.8 million and $598.9 million in FY 2022-
23, net of reimbursements and transfers. This is a difference of $1.3 million and $1.1
million, respectively, over what was presented in the initial proposed budget on May 25.
Of this amount, $365,000 is due to a small adjustment reflecting the final ARPA
allocation of $28.6 rather than $29.3 million as originally forecast. $0.7 million in FY
2021-22 and $0.9 million in FY 2022-23 is offset by an increase in revenues, and $0.46
million is covered using identified savings from the current fiscal year.
This report also includes actions necessary to revise certain fees, fines, and parking
rates and responds to Council queries and requests from the public hearings.
In this report, staff also recommends approval of the allocation of SB-1 Gas Tax funding
to eligible projects, acceptance of federal Continuum of Care Program renewal grant
funds, approval of a modification to the agreement with The People Concern for the
continued operation of the Homeless Multidisciplinary Street Team (HMST) through
June 30, 2023, approval of a modification to the agreement with Los Angeles County for
the continued operation of the C3 homeless outreach team through June 30, 2023, and
approval of a modification with Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. to extend the Reed Park
Ambassador program through June 30, 2023.
Finally, this report includes the proposed criteria and scope of the rent abatement
program for City tenants that will be funded using American Rescue Plan funds.
Discussion
The Proposed Biennial Budget presented for adoption has been revised from the
budget first presented to the public on May 10, 2021 to reflect final changes based on
Council feedback and new information received. The overall FY 2021-23 Proposed
Biennial Budget as revised is $706.8 million in FY 2021-22 and $598.9 million in FY
2022-23, as summarized in the following table.

Adjustments to Address Priorities
Staff is presenting a number of proposed budget changes responding to Council
feedback on the need to further expand services in community priority areas.
Additionally, staff is requesting that Council approve contracts and accept grants to fund
programs already included in the Proposed Budget that also address community
priorities. Key adjustments and actions are noted below by priority area.
Information requested by Council that is not included as a budget change is shown in
Attachment M. Additionally, all budget changes, including routine technical
adjustments, are included in the list of proposed final changes shown in Attachment D.
Community Priority: Addressing Homelessness
Acceptance of Federal Continuum of Care (CoC) Renewal Grants
The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is a federally-funded competitive grant program
that provides a housing subsidy (supportive housing) to homeless, disabled households.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a Continuum
of Care (CoC) grant for FY 2021-22 in the amount of $4,447,586. Staff is requesting
authorization to accept the grant funds from HUD.
C3 and HMST Contract Renewals
Launched in 2016, the Homeless Multidisciplinary Street Team (HMST) serves a by-
name cohort of 25 chronically homeless individuals identified by the City as the highest
utilizers of local emergency services. Two C3 teams (“City + County + Community,”
reflecting the partnership between the City, Los Angeles County, and The People
Concern) focus on the geographic areas of the city with the highest concentrations of
9.B
Packet Pg. 223
6 of 22
homelessness. The City’s first C3 team started in 2018 with a focus on the Downtown
Santa Monica area and adjacent parks. A second C3 team was added in FY 2019-20 to
extend operations to the Pier and beach. The multi-disciplinary teams go beyond
traditional homeless outreach with staffing that includes mental health clinicians,
substance use disorder specialists, housing case managers, licensed medical and
psychiatric practitioners, and a peer with lived homeless experience that deliver
treatment and care to people directly on the streets and in public spaces.
On February 23, 2021, Council affirmed Santa Monica’s four pillar approach to
addressing homelessness: 1) Prevent housed Santa Monicans from becoming
homeless; 2) Address the behavioral health needs of vulnerable residents; 3) Maintain
access to safe, fun, and healthy open spaces; and 4) Advocate for regional capacity to
address homelessness. As part of pillar two, Council committed to continuing the work
of Santa Monica’s Homeless Multidisciplinary Street Team (HMST) and C3 (City +
County + Community) homeless engagement teams. During the FY 2021-23 Budget
Study Sessions (Attachment L), as part of advancing the community priority to address
homelessness, Council again expressed support for including continued funding for the
HMST and C3 homeless engagement teams at their current levels in the FY 2021-23
Biennial Budget. Staff recommendations requesting authority to modify existing
contracts to extend the terms for up to two years, and at a combined $1.4 million
annually, are included above for Council’s consideration. Funding for these items is
already included in the Proposed Budget.
Reed Park Ambassador Program
The City has invested in a variety of site-specific strategies to help all people feel
welcome and safe in public spaces, including City parks. As part of that effort, a pilot
extension of DTSM’s Ambassador program to Reed Park began in August 2019 and
was extended in late 2019 and 2020. Overall, feedback on the presence of hospitality
and restroom ambassadors has been positive and data indicates that the ambassadors
are a key component of the multi-pronged approach to maintain equitable access to
safe, fun, and healthy open spaces. Currently, one hospitality Ambassador is stationed
at the public restrooms and a second hospitality Ambassador roams the park seven
9.B
Packet Pg. 224
7 of 22
days per week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. On weekends and weekday evenings a third
hospitality Ambassador roams the park. Ambassadors in Reed Park are farther
removed from DTSM’s base operations at PS #6 than those anywhere else in the
district. The third Ambassador offers on-site back-up, can seek help during a major
disturbance, and covers the other two posts at shift change and for required rest and
meal breaks.
In response to a Councilmember’s inquiry, DTSM offered a proposal to replace the
second roaming hospitality Ambassador at Reed (all days, at all service times) with a
safety Ambassador. Safety Ambassadors are unarmed, hold security guard licenses,
and have more advanced mental health training with an emphasis on interactions with
individuals experiencing homelessness. A deployment model which replaces one
hospitality Ambassador with a safety Ambassador would cost $531,813 in FY 2021-22,
which is approximately $11,079 more than the current deployment model included in the
Proposed Budget. The third roaming hospitality Ambassador would remain in place on
weekends and weekday evenings. Staff supports replacing one of the hospitality
Ambassadors with a more specially trained Ambassador. Should the Council approve
the additional funding request of $11,079, staff would work with DTSM to determine the
specific staffing and deployment model that would best meet the needs of park patrons.
At this time, staff recommends extending the Reed Park Ambassador Program using
one-time funding through June 30, 2023 through a one-year modification, with an
additional one-year option at a 5% increase, to agreement #10402 with Downtown
Santa Monica, Inc. at an amount not to exceed $6,838,593.
Funding for the original proposal is included in the Proposed Budget. The additional
$11,079 required to revise the deployment model is included in the list of proposed final
changes shown in Attachment D.
Community Priority: Clean and Safe Santa Monica
Crossing Guards
The Crossing Guard program currently consists of one permanent, full-time Crossing
Guard Supervisor and 20 as-needed Crossing Guards. Staff proposes to add nine
9.B
Packet Pg. 225
8 of 22
additional as-needed part-time Crossing Guards (net 3.12 FTE) and a 0.5 FTE
permanent part-time Lead Crossing Guard position to assist the supervisor in the
oversight of the Crossing Guard Program. This enhancement will provide coverage for
seven additional crossings that have been identified as high priority in terms of risk.
The costs would be absorbed in FY 2021-22 using projected vacancy savings in the
Police Department and will be included in future year budgets as ongoing costs, to be
covered with General Fund revenues.
Additional Item: Santa Monica Swim Center Sunday and Monday Operations
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted many of the City’s services including those at the
Santa Monica Swim Center (Swim Center). The County’s health and safety protocols
and the City’s fiscal constraints forced a reduction in the hours and days the Swim
Center has been available to the community. Currently, the Swim Center is open
Tuesday through Saturday. Now, as we turn the corner on the pandemic, staff has
developed an operational model that will improve access to this community asset in a
fiscally sustainable way. Staff proposes to allocate ongoing funding to operate the
Swim Center on Sundays and Mondays, restoring the facility to a seven-days-per-week
schedule. Under the proposed budget adjustment, the pool would be open each day for
youth learn-to-swim classes, adult water-fitness classes, lap swimming, recreational
swim for families, and swim permit groups. The additional $228,849 cost to open the
pool on Sundays and Mondays is projected to be entirely offset by the revenue
generated from the various programs being offered. While opening on Sundays and
Mondays will create greater access for all users, less dedicated time will be available for
swim permit groups. Hours may fluctuate to accommodate scheduled use by Santa
Monica College and camps.
Community Priority: Equitable and Inclusive Economic Recovery
Expanded Youth Programming at the Library
Restoring Santa Monica Public Library services remains a priority as the City emerges
from the pandemic and revenues recover. As originally proposed, the Biennial Budget
would have provided $387,932 annually to increase in-person access to library facilities
9.B
Packet Pg. 226
9 of 22
and hire a Library Program Specialist – Youth and Family Services to address
education equity concerns associated with the pandemic.
Following Council discussion at the May 25th and 26th Study Sessions, staff proposes
an additional staffing increase of 2.0 FTE permanent Library I positions focused on
Youth and Family Services (totaling an additional budget increase of $255,082) to
enable the Library to focus on the following short and long-term priorities:
• Rebalance programming and services for preschool, school age and teens,
which will consist of a hybrid of in-person and virtual programming.
• Utilize staff expertise to address collection and materials gaps that will
supplement youth learning
• Plan after school Homework Help & Reading Mentors programs at specific
locations
• Continue to rebuild Youth and Family Services and explore alternate ways to
address community needs until more funding and staffing are restored, including
recruitment and training of volunteers.
As more families and students return to in-person school and work, support in the form
of learning opportunities, interactive programming, educational materials, and places to
meet and study are needed now more than ever and support Council’s identified priority
of cultivating an equitable and inclusive economic recovery where differences in life
outcomes cannot be predicted by race, class, gender, disability or other identities.
Funding for this program expansion will be covered using identified budget savings over
the two years of the budget and will be covered on an ongoing basis beyond the
biennial budget period with General Fund revenues as they recover.
Trades Intern Program
The Trades Intern Program (TIP) is a joint effort by the Community Services, Public
Works, and Transportation Departments. The program provides young adults with paid
training in the skilled trades in order to help prepare them to enter the workforce.
Participants receive a full-time two-year limited term position within a City department,
during which time they receive hands-on training in various occupational trades. The
9.B
Packet Pg. 227
10 of 22
City complements this hard skills training by providing case management and weekly
classes that focus on developing soft skills, as well as funding for education
requirements and assistance with finding quality employment opportunities after the
participants graduate from the program. For FY 2021-23, the City will extend the TIP for
two additional years. The program will include five interns funded by the Big Blue Bus
Fund (2 positions), Resource Recovery and Recycling Fund (2 positions), and
Water/Wastewaster Funds (1 position). The total budget increase for this program is
$316,455, among the Big Blue Bus, Resource Recovery and Recycling, and Water and
Wastewater Funds. The program and feasibility of continued funding by the enterprise
funds will be evaluated as part of the FY 2023-25 Biennial Budget.
ICE at Santa Monica electrical work
Significant electrical repairs are necessary at the City’s Parking Lot 27, which serves as
the annual home of the ICE at Santa Monica outdoor ice skating rink programmed by
Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. (DTSM) for more than two months beginning in
November. The ICE event—canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic—is a
much-loved community event and significant economic driver for the Downtown, and
cannot take place without these repairs. Estimated cost for the electrical work is
$206,000, and staff has reached a cost-sharing agreement with DTSM in which the City
will front the full cost of the repairs through current year savings identified in the Public
Works facilities budget, and DTSM would reimburse the City for half of the cost (or
$103,000) over the coming year as sponsorship revenues for ICE or other event
revenues from anticipated activations of Lot 27 by DTSM are realized.
In addition, the City has earmarked $50,000 from the Public Works facilities current year
budget savings to help fund necessary Promenade fountain repairs. A total of $256,000
will be appropriated in the General Fund FY 2021-22 budget and earmarked for these
projects. DTSM will oversee the repairs and contractors.
Rent Abatement and Outdoor Dining Fee Waiver Program
At its April 13, 2021 meeting to discuss the proposed American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) allocations, Council directed staff to set aside 20% of the ARPA allocation for
economic recovery uses, including rent relief for City tenants, and directed staff to return
9.B
Packet Pg. 228
11 of 22
to Council with a proposed Rent Abatement Program. The Proposed Budget includes
$2.08 million set aside for rent relief and outdoor dining license fee waivers, in addition
to $580,000 appropriated in FY 2020-21 for rent abatements, for a total of $2.6 million.
At the April 13 meeting, Council specifically directed staff to develop a rent abatement
program that included these elements:
• 9-month abatements for cultural arts non-profits
• 6-month abatements for tenants on pier and other City-owned properties
• 3-month abatements and potentially an additional 3-months for for-profit cultural
arts galleries at Bergamot Station
Such a rent abatement program for City tenants currently enrolled in the City’s rent
deferment program would require up to $2,346,650 of the $2.6 million in ARPA funding
set aside for rent relief and fee waivers and would not provide sufficient funds to
accommodate outdoor dining license fee waivers. The following table summarizes the
breakdown of costs by tenant type:

2,346,650 77
*Rent abatements are calculated on base rents and do not include other fees such as common area maintenance, utilities, property
management, possessory interest, business improvement district assessments, business license or percentage rents.
Alternatives to help Cultural Arts Nonprofits and Additional Small Businesses
As ARPA funds are limited but the need for help is significant and urgent, staff
recommends that Council consider the following alternative program:
• 9-month abatements for non-profits at Airport and Bergamot
9.B
Packet Pg. 229
12 of 22
• 6-month abatements for Pier and Beach tenants and for-profit Art Galleries at
Bergamot Art Center
• 3-month abatements for for-profit tenants in other City-owned properties to help
address the impacts of COVID.
Lowering the abatement period for for-profit tenants in City-owned properties not
including the Beach, Pier, and Bergamot galleries would alternatively free up $307,326
in rent relief funding to support economic recovery initiatives that would help over 200
additional businesses and 25 cultural arts non-profits as follows:
• Pier and Beach Tenants not enrolled in the City’s Rent Deferment Program:
There are 5 small business tenants on the Pier and Beach who did not enroll in
the City’s Rent Deferment Program but who were nonetheless greatly affected by
mandated closures. These tenants have made best efforts to pay rents despite
the challenges associated with the pandemic, with many explaining they have
used savings, borrowed loans or federal assistance from Paycheck Protection
Program (PPP) program to pay their rents and to keep their businesses going. If
Council is amenable to helping these tenants, the cost to provide a 2-month
abatement is up to $29,713.
• Cultural Arts Nonprofits: The City’s Cultural Affairs Division works with 25
nonprofits to provide cultural arts programming and services for the community.
Many of these nonprofits are struggling and rely on limited grant funds from the
City. They are not located in City-owned property and therefor face additional
rent challenges with shared burden on their landlords, as well. An allocation of
up to $187,850 would provide small grant stipends to help with rents and other
operating expenses and would also help leverage other fundraising efforts to
support the arts in Santa Monica.
• Outdoor Dining Program: The outdoor dining program is critical to the City’s
economic recovery efforts and an important lifeline to the many restaurants and
cafes who rely on outdoor dining to achieve safe distancing requirements. Thus
far, the fee waivers associated with the City’s outdoor dining program have
helped 72 businesses (or 202 businesses in total when taking into account the
Temporary Use Permit participants). This program is also utilized by many
9.B
Packet Pg. 230
13 of 22
tenants on City-owned properties. An allocation of up to $343,869 from economic
recovery funding would help partially fund approximately 6-months of the outdoor
dining program costs consistent with the June 8, 2021 Council adoption of the
“Santa Monica Outdoors” program extension.
This alternative program would assist over 300 businesses and tenants.

Rent Abatement Criteria
Staff recommends the rent abatement eligibility requirements mirror the criteria for the
Rent Deferment Program, with one additional clarification to the documentation
requirements in order to streamline the financial hardship documentation verification
process:
• Demonstrate inability to pay lease or license fees, or any portion thereof with
financial evidence of a minimum 25% revenue decline of gross sales when
comparing years 2019 and 2020. Submission of copies of 2019 and 2020 IRS
tax schedules to demonstrate a minimum 25% drop in gross sales as reported on
Line 1.c. on both the 1120 (corporate return) or 1120S (S-Corp return); Line 3 on
IRS Schedule C for single member LLCs and sole proprietorships; Line 1.c on
Form 1065, for partnerships; and Line 12 on Form 990 for non-profits will be
accepted forms of proof. Schedule E is not eligible.
• Must be an open and operating business (abatement will not be applied to
businesses that have permanently closed and/or relocated).
9.B
Packet Pg. 231
14 of 22
Aside from the financial documentation clarification, the Rent Abatement Program will
have the same criteria as the City’s Rent Deferment Program, which include the
following:
• Must be an existing Commercial Tenant 1 or Licensee (either a “City Commercial
Tenant”) of a City-owned property in good standing under the applicable lease or
license prior to the Proclamation of Existence of Local Emergency on March 13,
2020 ("City Declaration of Emergency").
• Must have been forced to either (a) cease business operations from the City
leasehold or license area and/or (b) operate at significant reduced levels at the
City leasehold or license area, as the result of the emergency orders issued by
the City of Santa Monica, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public
Health, or the Governor of California (collectively, the “Emergency Orders”).
• Must provide documentation to evidence that the City Commercial Tenant
submitted a claim for business interruption insurance (if required under the lease
or license, or if maintained by City Commercial Tenant independent of any lease
or license requirement); and must continue to pursue such claim with carrier until
claim is exhausted.
• Must provide documentation to evidence that the City Commercial Tenant
applied for applicable disaster relief programs including the Small Business
Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, CARES Act/Paycheck
Protection Program and State of CA’s Work Sharing Program.

Commercial Tenant demonstrated good cause why it could not apply for
applicable disaster relief programs
• Must represent commitment to retain employees and/or rehire furloughed or laid
off employees once Emergency Orders are lifted or modified such that
businesses are authorized to open to the public and any remaining restrictions do
not require a significant reduction in operating levels.
o As part of the rehiring process, City Commercial Tenants are particularly
encouraged to retain and/or rehire local employees, and to the extent new
hiring is required, to hire locally as much as possible.
o As part of application for Program, the City Commercial Tenant must
submit documentation that identifies the number of its employees (full-time
and part-time) before the City Declaration of Emergency.
For tenants who are successful in applying for federal assistance and elect to use
proceeds to repay the entire balance of deferred rents by December 31, 2021, staff
seeks Council authorization to provide up to 12-months of additional term to the tenant’s
existing lease or license as incentive to repay deferred rents sooner than June 30,
2022. The Santa Monica Pier Lessees Association and Bergamot Arts Center tenants
proposed a 5-year extension for tenants to repay deferred rents; however, because the
balance of deferred rents owed by tenants differs widely, ranging as low as $6,000 and
as high as $500,000 staff seeks authorization to work with tenants who need additional
time to repay deferred rents as a one size fit all approach is not advisable or fiscally
prudent. Further, if tenants are successful in applying for and receiving federal
assistance that aid may further help reduce or cover remaining rents due.
For tenants currently on month to month leases, holdover leases and/or leases that
expire prior to June 30, 2022 (the rent repayment deadline), staff requests authorization
9.B
Packet Pg. 233
16 of 22
to enter into lease extensions thru June 30, 2022 in order to facilitate the rent
abatement and deferral repayment.
Proposed Budget Revisions
Staff recommends that Council adopt the changes to the FY 2021-22 Proposed Budget
and approve changes to the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget Plan. With these changes,
the budget remains balanced. Changes are itemized in Attachment D.
The modifications to the Proposed Budget, known as final changes, increase the
expenditure budget by $1.3 million in FY 2021-22 and $1.1 million in FY 2022-23. Of
this amount, $1.16 million represents General Fund changes in FY 2021-22 and $0.54
million in FY 2022-23.
The General Fund continues to have very limited resources in FY 2021-22 based on
current revenue projections. As a result, any expenditure increases made in the first
year of the Biennial Budget must be offset by repurposed funds or additional revenues.
As we have nearly reached the end of the current fiscal year, staff has ascertained that
these increased costs can be covered using current year savings, in addition to
increased revenues based on cost recovery of the specific programs. The only change
that is not cost covering in FY 2021-22 is the adjustment to the City’s ARPA allocation,
as the final allocation was slightly lower than initially announced. However, this is
simply a transfer of funds to the General Fund fund balance to be held in reserve for
future year spending and therefore does not impact the City’s ability to maintain a
balanced budget during the biennial period. Appropriations in FY 2022-23 not offset by
new revenues or savings can be covered by projected revenue increases in FY 2022-23
and beyond. The table below notes how changes are offset by savings and revenues.
General Fund FY 2021-22 FY 2022-23
Final Change Budget Increase $1,159,698 $540,713
Offsetting Revenues 331,862 228,862
Offsetting Current Year Savings 462,803 -
ARPA allocation (no impact on budget) 365,033 -
Remaining $0 $311,851
9.B
Packet Pg. 234
17 of 22
In FY 2021-22, the changes primarily reflect appropriations to fund expanded programs
noted above, as well as a contract with the City of Culver City to provide recyclable
material transfer services, as approved by Council via Consent Item on June 8, 2021. In
addition, there are a small number of salary changes based on ongoing salary studies.
In FY 2022-23, the changes primarily reflect ongoing costs for adjustments made in
FY 2021-22.
Council Discretionary Funds
Each year, Council allocates discretionary funds to assist the community in special
projects or support important but otherwise unfunded priorities. Traditionally, Council
has supported community partners like the Business Improvement Districts, Santa
Monica traditions like the Fourth of July Parade, one-time programs, and local students
through science or music grants that allow Santa Monica youth to participate in special
events. Projects and programs supported by Council discretionary funds for the past
three years are detailed in Attachment N.
Allocation of the funds may occur along with Budget Adoption or throughout the year.
Including unprogrammed FY 2020-21 discretionary funds ($40,721) and FY 2021-22
discretionary funds ($119,820), the Council has access to $160,541 in discretionary
funds in FY 2021-22.
Personnel Changes
In addition to the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions presented in the initial proposed
budget on May 25, additional changes are being proposed, resulting in a net addition of
17.6 FTE positions (0.5 permanent FTE and 8.2 as-needed FTE in the General Fund
and 9.5 permanent FTE, partially offset by the deletion of 0.6 FTE as-needed in all other
funds). These changes, all of which are detailed above and in Attachment D, result in a
revised citywide FTE count of 1,940.6 for FY 2021-22 and 1,939.1 in FY 2022-23.
The changes which include proposed employee classification and compensation
adjustments were reviewed by the Human Resources Department. The resulting
9.B
Packet Pg. 235
18 of 22
classification and salary changes and position adjustments are included in Attachments
H and I.
Fees/Fines/Rates
Master fee, fine, and parking rate resolutions are annually presented to Council as part
of the budget adoption process. This year, the proposed master fee resolution
(Attachment E) primarily reflects the results of the city-wide cost of services study
presented to Council on May 25 as well as adjustments to certain fees that were not
part of the fee study, but also presented at the study sessions.
Fines included in the master fine resolution (Attachment F) are for the most part
unchanged from current levels with the exception of the following:
• Library – Staff proposes to increase the fine for processing lost or damaged
items from $7.50 (per item plus the cost if the item) to $10.00 (per item plus the
cost of the item. Staff is also proposing a new fine for overdue technology
devices ($5 per day).
• Fire – The Fire Department annually revises certain fines to remain consistent
with the California Fire Code. In addition, a new fine in the amount of $1,000 is
proposed for the illegal possession of fireworks.
• Code Compliance – To increase compliance with the recently enacted
Residential Lease Requirements, the Code Enforcement Division is
recommending new non-standard fines of $1,000 each for violations of the
requirements in Chapter 6.22 of the Municipal Code. The proposed fines align
with the non-standard fines for code violations related to short term rentals,
home-sharing, and tenant harassment.
Finally, a comprehensive parking rates resolution (Attachment G) restates all parking
fees and rates. All transient and monthly rates for on-street and off-street parking at
City owned facilities are left at current levels. However, the resolution does include the
increase to the preferential parking permits rates based on the cost of services study,
extends the Downtown employee discounted parking validation program for up to two
additional years to support the City’s businesses and economic recovery efforts, and
9.B
Packet Pg. 236
19 of 22
provides for minor adjustments to address operational needs and administrative
language clean up items.
Workers’ Compensation and General Liability
In an effort to align approval levels for items requiring financial consideration and at the
same time increase efficiency, staff is recommending to increase the mandated
threshold levels for City Manager and Council approval, respectively, of Workers’
Compensation and General Liability settlements Currently, the City Attorney or
designee, and the Risk Manager are authorized to settle liability claims up to $15,000
without City Council approval. Staff recommends this threshold, which has not been
updated or adjusted for inflation in several decades, increase to $95,000, aligning with
existing staff authority to enter into professional service agreements and contractual
services agreements without City Council approval. Additionally, the Risk Manager is
currently authorized to settle workers’ compensation claims up to $15,000 without City
Manager approval. Staff recommends raising this threshold to $25,000, given that the
majority of workers’ compensation settlements exceed $15,000 and that this relatively
minor change would reduce the amount of time required for staff and the City Manager
to discuss routine workers’ compensation settlements. The new threshold aligns with
existing staff authority to enter into purchases for convenience. Staff reports on workers’
compensation settlements made in an annual information item to Council. The attached
ordinance, attached for first reading, includes these proposed threshold changes
(Attachment O).
Budget Resolutions
Adopting the resolutions in Attachments A, B, and C would:
• Adopt the FY 2021-22 and approve the FY 2022-23 budget revenues at the
account level, with operating expenditure appropriations for the Salaries and
Wages and Supplies and Expenses (including Capital Outlay) major expenditure
categories within a fund for each department, and capital improvement program
budget within a fund;
• Authorize staff to roll over appropriations for multi-year operating grants not
completed at the end of the fiscal year, unspent donations dedicated to
9.B
Packet Pg. 237
20 of 22
programs, and the encumbrances for goods and services contracted for by
FY 2020-21 year-end but not delivered or provided until FY 2021-22;
• Authorize staff to roll over appropriations for the General Fund and all other Non-
General Fund unencumbered balances and unexpended encumbrances for the
FY 2020-21 capital improvement program budget.
Gann Appropriations Limit
State law places limits on the amount of Santa Monica’s General Fund appropriations
that can be made without voter approval based on a growth factor calculated on
changes in Los Angeles County’s population and either State per capita personal
income growth or the growth in non-residential assessed valuation. This restriction was
placed in effect in November 1979 with the approval of Proposition 4, commonly known
as the (Paul) Gann Initiative. The City’s Gann Appropriations Limit, based on growth in
non-residential assessed valuation multiplied by the annual percentage population
change for the County in FY 2021-22 is $2,535,966,926.
A comparison of the City’s FY 2021-22 Gann Appropriations Limit as set forth in the
City’s Proposed FY 2021-23 Biennial Budget follows:
Proposed Gann Limit-related Spending for FY 2021-22
Gann Limit $2,535,966,926
Appropriations Subject to Limitation 259,250,259
Net (Over) Under $2,276,716,668
FY 2021-22 appropriations subject to limitation are $2,276,716,668 less than the City’s
Gann Appropriations Limit. A resolution to establish the City’s FY 2021-22 Gann
Appropriations Limit is included in Attachment J.
SB-1 Gas Tax Revenues
In April 2017, SB 1, formally known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act (RMRA)
of 2017, was signed into law. SB 1 establishes the Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Program (RMRP) to address deferred maintenance on the State highway
and local street and road systems. Current fund estimates provided by the League of
California Cities indicate that the City of Santa Monica will be eligible to receive
9.B
Packet Pg. 238
21 of 22
approximately $1.8 million in FY 2021-22, in addition to the City’s existing annual gas
tax revenues of approximately $2.4 million. Staff recommends using the FY 2021-22
SB 1 estimated allocation of $1.8 million for the Annual Paving and Sidewalk Repair
Program capital improvement project per the attached resolution (Attachment K).
Human Service Grants Program (HSGP) and Organizational Support Program (OSP)
for Santa Monica’s Arts and Culture Non-Profits
On January 26, 2021, Council approved staff’s recommendation to extend the HSGP
and OSP for two years, through June 30, 2023, contingent upon available funding. The
FY 2021-22 Proposed HSGP Budget includes continued funding to grantees at current
award levels and adds 1) a 1.5% cost of living adjustment for all programs; and 2) a
partial restoration of funding (totaling $517,770) for grantees that received reduced
funding in the Adopted FY 2020-21 Budget. The HSGP budget for FY2021-22 totals
$8,038,641, as presented at the May 25th and 26th budget study session.
The proposed Organizational Support Program (OSP) Grants for Arts and Culture
Nonprofits for FY 2021-22 includes funds to grantee organizations at the FY 2019-21
funding levels, with no cost of living adjustment. The total recommended funding level
for FY 2021-22 is $401,887 for twenty organizations. The OSP budget for FY2021-22
totals $401,887, as presented at the May 25th and 26th budget study session.
Updated funding amounts will be incorporated into current contracts with each grantee,
with funding available beginning July 1, 2021 and continuing through June 30, 2022.
City staff will work closely with grantees to promote quality services, monitor contract
compliance, and provide technical assistance and advice to each agency on program,
administrative, and fiscal matters.
Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
The overall Proposed Budget as revised is $706.8 million in FY 2021-22 and
$598.9 million in FY 2022-23. This Adoption of the Proposed Budget as amended by
Attachment D would formally adopt the first year and approve the second year of the

Increase Public Services Officer staffing. Consider potential support from the Big Blue Bus Enterprise Fund
N/A SMPD will be filling seven Public Services Officer vacancies soon, which will help to increase police presence throughout Santa Monica. Addition of Public Services Officer positions funded by the Big Blue Bus (BBB) Fund is not recommended at this time. The Department of Transportation (DoT) is invested in the safety of the BBB transit system. DoT works closely with the Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) who conduct targeted enforcement details with sworn officers
on a weekly basis at stops throughout the City, including downtown, based upon data collected by DoT and SMPD staff. This partnership, which is budgeted at over $350,000 annually with BBB enterprise funds, has been very well received by the Motor Coach Operators, Operations field teams, and customers. The targeted enforcement program will be evaluated in March 2022 with SMPD to determine whether the program continues and is potentially expanded. In guidance received from FTA’s Region 9 office, utilization of federal stimulus grants should be dedicated for service restoration and the operating expenditures directly related to that restoration, operator and maintenance staff wages and
salaries. CREST Sports N/A The City and SMMUSD have long been in discussions about
how SMMUSD might offer elementary and middle school sports, allowing the school district direct control over the program and offering greater coordination of sports programming through the K-12 years. Since the City’s budget process, the City has been supporting SMMUSD as it has engaged in conversations with the Boys & Girls Club to launch such a program this Fall. The City’s Proposed FY 2021-23 Biennial City Budget includes $100,000 of support funding for the next two years to ensure that our district’s sports program is viable and inclusive. Playground Access N/A SMMUSD has identified one-time funding to be used to support a program providing afterschool outdoor play on
school campuses for the 2021-22 school year. During this year, SMMUSD, the City, and interested parents will continue conversations about a viable model for future years. Fees Reductions - Carousel TBD As part of the carousel ticket rate adjustment staff will also consider the carousel’s participation in the upcoming Buy Local Committee/SM Chamber’s Santa Monica Rewards program as well as residents-pass or resident engagement programing that may be developed along with City partners.

Move Police Officer from PAL back to PD Patrol Operations
N/A Transferring the Police Officer away from PAL to patrol duties is not recommended for the following reasons: •The transfer would remove the staffing resources necessary to maintain the adult-child supervision ratio required for the middle/high school pod, resulting in cessation of programming for 20 middle/high school youth ages 13-17. PAL bridges the gap between low-income youth of color and law enforcement and provides academic, recreational, and leadership growth opportunities for participants, supporting them, their families, and the community. •The transfer would not significantly impact patrol operations. •The Police Activities League (PAL) is predicated on the direct premise of the involvement of the Police Department. Currently. 1.0 FTE Police Officer position is assigned to PAL to create a consistent positive police presence, build trust and mutual respect with vulnerable youth, and directly supervise a daily in-person middle/high school pod of 20 youth, including offering guidance to the Youth Leadership Council and leading all programs and activities, including homework help, fitness activities, classes, and more. The police officer provides the necessary bridge between our community’s youth of color and the Police Department. The officer’s presence ensures a number of benefits accrue to PAL, including the ability to secure additional volunteers from the Police Department to aid in various programmatic activities and fund raising. The benefits that accrue to the Police Department include a spirit of volunteerism in service to the future of this community. Pickle Ball Courts TBD The proposed budget includes the restoration of a Park Planner position, if the position is approved, the planner would evaluate all uses and changes in uses to citywide park facilities. Make-up of the Community Response Unit (CRU) team
N/A The FY 2021-23 Proposed Budget includes funding for a Community Response Unit (CRU) two-year pilot program to support people experiencing homelessness. The CRU, which would function along with a number of other social service network partners, has been budgeted with a team made up of a Firefighter - Paramedic and a Firefighter –EMT. Staff has not found a legal method for requiring that one of these two positions be occupied by a female firefighter. As the City is implementing a broad range of services to address homelessness, including a multidisciplinary street team and a pilot therapeutic transport program in partnership with the County Department of Mental Health, among other existing programs, and determining what mix of services is most effective, it is important that the elements of the homeless services program, including the future positions staffing the CRU and all homeless services programs, remain flexible.

Response to Councilmember’s comment on diversity, equity and inclusion in the City’s
procurement practices
While Federal programs allow for preferences focused on greater equity in procurement, State law prohibits public institutions, including in the area of public contracting, from discriminating on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin (per Proposition 209), as shown in Table 1.

City Council Meeting: June 22, 2021 Santa Monica, California
ORDINANCE NUMBER ____ (CCS) (City Council Series)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA AMENDING SANTA MONICA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.44.050 TO AUTHORIZE
THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THE RISK MANAGER TO SETTLE LIABILITY CLAIMS
UP TO $95,000, AUTHORIZE THE RISK MANAGER TO SETTLE WORKER’S
COMPENSATION CLAIMS UP TO $25,000, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE WORKER’S COMPENSATION CLAIMS IN EXCESS OF $25,000
WHEREAS, pursuant to requirements of state law, the City of Santa Monica
participates in California’s Worker’s Compensation program; and
WHEREAS, the Worker’s Compensation program establishes the sole remedy for
employees injured in the course of their employment and operates as a compulsory
scheme of employer liability, irrespective of fault, for injuries arising out of and in the
course of employment; and
WHEREAS, the City’s participation in the Worker’s Compensation program is
administered by the Risk Management Division of the City Manager’s Office; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.44.050 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code authorizes the
City Attorney, or designee, and the Risk Manager to settle liability claims up to $15,000
without City Council approval (the “Staff Liability Settlement Authority”); and
WHEREAS, the Staff Liability Settlement Authority has not been updated or
increased for inflation in several decades; and

WHEREAS, increasing the Staff Liability Settlement Authority to $95,000 aligns
with existing staff authority to enter into professional service agreements and contractual
services agreements without City Council approval; and
WHEREAS, increasing the Staff Liability Settlement Authority would provide
greater efficiency in operations by reducing the need for settlement recommendation
memoranda, settlement summaries, and reduce the number of closed session items for
the City Council to hear, discuss, and approve; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.44.050 authorizes the Risk Manager to settle worker’s
compensation claims up to $15,000 (the “Risk Manager’s Worker’s Compensation

of worker’s compensation settlements in excess of the Risk Manager’s Worker’s
Compensation Settlement Authority” by providing notice of such settlements to the City
Council; and
WHEREAS, the majority of worker’s compensation settlements exceed the Risk
Manager’s Worker’s Compensation Settlement Authority; and
WHEREAS, increasing the Risk Manager’s Worker’s Compensation Settlement
Authority to $25,000 would provide greater efficiency in operations by reducing the time
for staff and the City Manager to discuss routine worker’s compensation settlements; and
WHEREAS, increasing the Risk Manager’s Worker’s Compensation Settlement
Authority to $25,000 would also align with existing staff authority to enter into purchases
for convenience as provided in Chapter 2.24; and

WHEREAS, Section 2.44.060, titled “City Attorney Settlement Authority -- Power,”
was adopted in 1955; does not appear to have since been modified; limits to $750 the
authority of the City Attorney, without City Council approval, to retain medical doctors,
appraisers, accountants, engineers or other professional services necessary to the
defense of any action; and as a result appears inconsistent with Section 2.24.080, titled
“City Attorney Authority,” which was adopted in 2019 and provides the City Attorney,
without a fixed monetary limit, authority to enter into contracts for legal services, including,
but not limited to, services provided by outside legal counsel, investigators, consultants
or experts in conjunction with claims against the City, pending or anticipated litigation, or
administrative or other legal proceedings.
WHEREAS, Section 2.44.070 provided the City Attorney with specific settlement
authority to resolve specific matters arising from the risks identified in Section 2.44.020;
and
WHEREAS, the specific settlement authority provided in Section 2.44.070 is
unnecessary given the general settlement authority authorized in Section 2.44.050 as
modified by this Ordinance.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
I am writing on behalf of the Arts Commission to thank you for your continued support of the arts in Santa
Monica. As you know, the arts contribute to our City’s wellbeing, livelihood and economic vibrancy in a
myriad of ways. The promotion and preservation of the City’s cultural and arts programs is incredibly important to upholding the values and reputation that has distinguished Santa Monica as a unique, creative, and progressive community. As you consider the budget for the upcoming budget cycle, we
urge you to please allocate a portion of ARPA federal stimulus funding set aside for economic recovery
to help support the non-profit culture and arts organizations who are not fortunate enough to be tenants of the City of Santa Monica. We understand the ARPA funds are finite and the need for help is significant. While we know that the for-profit galleries at Bergamot and Airport artists have suffered
financial impacts from the pandemic, the non-profit arts and cultural organizations that focus on
providing mission-based arts experiences for the community have also suffered, and they too need help.
In so many ways it is the not-for-profit arts organizations that develop an expanded understanding and
sensitivity to the cultural diversity that so enriches our community. We feel strongly that the critically vital
exhibitions, performances and exemplary dialogues that the not-for-profit sector fosters must be supported as these groups emerge from the crisis which has been so damaging to us all.
Cultural Affairs recently conducted a survey of the arts nonprofits that operate in the City, and found
that, while 100% of them had applied for and received some type of relief funds over the past year,
there is still much needed to help them continue to serve our communities. Three-quarters of
respondents agreed with the statement that “My organization’s financial viability is compromised and/or vulnerable in the coming 18 months.” Of the nineteen grantees that responded, they have a combined remaining debt of over $450,000. Because of the unique business model of arts organizations, significant
up-front investments are needed before earned revenues (like ticket sales) come through, necessitating
further support for them to be able to re-open. While the City begins to re-open in the coming month, the road ahead for our arts organizations will be arduous and uncertain for some time to come. As such,
I hope you will keep the arts in mind as additional state and federal funds become available in the
future.
We kindly ask that you please support an allocation of $125,000 in ARPA Economic Recovery funds to provide desperately needed funds to our cherished local arts organizations. It’s a comparatively small
investment that will realize great returns. Our arts groups are eager to get back to serving the community
by providing in-person cultural experiences that have been so desperately missed by all during the pandemic. Please accept my deepest appreciation for your support.
Sincerely,

Mayor and Council Members,
As a member of the Santa Monica Public Art Committee, and a resident of nearly 20 years, I write to you in support of
the allocation of $125,000 in ARPA Economic Recovery funds referenced in the letter from Michael Masucci dated June
15, 2021.
In my early years as a young architect living and working in Santa Monica, there were many local design firms, art and
design events, galleries and craftsmen operating in the City. Since then, we have watched the number of art, design and
craft related businesses dwindle to make way for high‐rent offices and housing that homogenize our economy and offer
little to the public. Let’s protect what we have left of small, arts‐related business in Santa Monica to keep our City
vibrant and alive.
Thank‐you for your consideration,

Dear Members of the City Council,
As an addendum to my recent email and letter concerning ARPA Support for Arts Nonprofits, I have recently
had the opportunity to read the staff recommendations on this matter.
I was happy to learn that the staff is recommending $187,850 in support, rather than the $125,000 which I had
previously thought. I completely support this increase in vital funding to our critically important nonprofit
cultural groups and hope that you approve the staff recommendation as submitted.
Thank you for your continuing support for the arts in Santa Monica, both our treasured non‐profit
organizations, performance spaces, and centers, as well as our robust for‐profit community of galleries and
related arts‐based practices.

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
Please fund three new permitting and planning staff positions in this year's budget.
As a business owner, time is money for both my business and the City. The faster I can get my permits processed, the
sooner I can do business and generate revenue for the City.
These three positions will pay for themselves and set Santa Monica up to take advantage of the reopening and economic

Re: Item 9B – funding for planning and permitting staff
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
As you know, the Santa Monica Chamber this year convened a strike team of
business leaders to assess the needs of local businesses and prioritize action
items the City could take to expedite our economic recovery. We
communicated those ideas to you in a letter dated May 13, 2021.
One of those priorities that is before you on Tuesday is funding for three
planning and permitting staff members. We support this staff recommendation
and encourage you to fund these positions.
The audit subcommittee, made up of three Council Members and community
members, noted recommendations in the Moss Adams permitting efficiency
study, specifically augmenting staffing levels. This aligns with anecdotal
evidence we have heard from local businesses who report long wait times for
all manner of permits. These delays cost our businesses, and ultimately the
City, revenues. At worst, they paint Santa Monica as unfriendly to business,
and this unfortunate comment has also been our experience, which we hope to
change with your support.
The audit subcommittee also heard from Moss Adams an observation of
outdated and convoluted systems, which speaks to the overall push the
Chamber is asking of you to modernize our permitting systems to allow more
work to be done online and in a single, streamlined place. Your staff has
already begun this process and we are working closely with them, and again we
ask for your support of additional funding for these positions to change our
perception to one that is friendlier to business, especially small business.
We understand you have many challenging decisions to make tonight and we
appreciate your support.
Thank you,
Laurel Rosen

To the Mayor and our Council Members:
In writing to you today, I ask you to adopt the ARPA Economic Recovery fund allocation of $125,000.00
and create a percentage that is in reserve for Santa Monica’s Cultural Non-Profits, and to urge the City’s
uncompromising support for the Arts in Santa Monica.
In creating the City Arts program at Bergamot and SMO, you have affirmed a forward-thinking role for a
society that supports the economic, social, and creative well-being of its citizens, a role which cannot be
substituted or replaced, because the Arts themselves do so much to help the residents and non-
residents of Santa Monica who come here to participate. A nonprofit Arts Organization can, -and does
do more to solidify the support your wisdom and the long-range planning which you have already set in
motion.
To meet competing needs by sacrificing something already established that is as culturally vital and
important to our community, such as the unique path the nonprofit arts organizations provide to
meaningful representation, is counterproductive to any goals for a safe,sustainable and livable
community. Let Santa Monica continue to take its place in the World Class Arts Community as planned,
by allowing the funding needed to advocate for its cultural existence.
To do anything else at the expanse of these vital concerns seems a step backwards to the well-being of
these organizations, the community, and citizens you and the Council serve.
With Respect,
Ms. Mary Patricia Dougherty
Member, Public Arts Council

Dear Mayor Himmelrich, Esteemed City Councilmembers and City Staff,
RE: Retaining the SMPD Officer at PAL
I am grateful for the City of Santa Monica’s commitment to its children particularly
those who are the most vulnerable in this community. The city’s support of after-
school programs is a necessity asthousands of youth benefit from a safe
place after the 3pm bell. Many youth otherwise would be in the streets
unsupervised and in danger of temptations that could lead to negative
consequences.
The Police Activities League is a program that should be cherished by this
city. This program serves the city’s most vulnerable youth population. PAL is the
program where youth starting at the age of six can have their first interaction with
a police officer be a positive experience. It is the only program that brings
together youth of color and law enforcement in a positive
setting using educational, leadership and fitness programs as a vehicle to meet
kids right where they are. In the wake of current events that have resulted
in many people of color fearing and resenting the police, PAL’s
programming intentionally seeks to bridge that divide. The participants, many
who live in the Pico Neighborhood or in Community Corporation Housing have
strong relations with the Police Department. They trust the officers who interact
with them on a daily basis. PAL is the place where youth do not fear the
police and they in turn become allies and advocates to youth who struggle with
varying circumstances.
Reassigning the PAL officer back to patrol would dismantlethe structure of PAL and
make PAL’s mission ineffective. It would remove the intentional, consistent, positive
presence of police involvement from PAL’s programming.The engagement of officers
would become unreliable due to varying schedules and other priorities would surfaceover

volunteering with the children. The PAL Officer is the link between PAL and the police
department. The PAL Officer recruits other officers to assist with classes and matches
youth with mentors. If the officer is removed, themeaning of PAL is lost and the P in
PAL is fragmented. As a result this community would lose much of the traction that has
been gained on bridging the gap between youth of color and law enforcement.
I am asking you to not remove the officer from this wonderful program that
means so much to the community that they serve. Please do not strip youth of
color from the only positive interactions of getting to know officers behind the
uniform, badge and a gun. Please do not deprive our police officers of getting to
know our most vulnerable youth in a nurturing setting. This City prides itself on
equity and inclusion and yet City funding to support PAL continues to be
threatened in different ways. PAL holds true to its mission, to build trust with
youth and law enforcement. Other cities throughout the nation
are desperately trying to create what the City of Santa Monica already has. I am
asking the City to follow through on its commitment to all youth not tojust those of
privilege. PAL’s youth are also thefuture of this community.
With great appreciation,
Judi Barker

Subject:Agenda item 9B - Swim Center fee increases
EXTERNAL
Dear City Council Members,
Thank you for your support of opening the Swim Center on Sundays. The proposed budget was revised to include having
the pool open on Sundays and Mondays because the revenues will cover the incremental costs.
The proposed budget still includes increases in the fees for the Swim Center including a 14% increase in Swim Center
entrance fees, a 10% increase in youth permit group fees, and a 15% increase in adult permit group fees. This is in
addition to the 9% fee increase approved last year and effective July 1, 2020 The estimated revenue from this year's
proposed fee increases is $99,072.
The Fee Study proposes that SMC pay $243,000 for their portion of the pool costs. This is $94,000 LESS THAN what
they paid in 2019. In 2019 SMC paid $337,000 which is only a little more than what was paid in 2013 ($334,498), less
than a 1% increase.
These proposed Swim Center fee increases are the fourth increase in fees in the last 11 years (2011, 2013, 2020 and
2021) for the patrons of the Swim Center. If these increases are approved, the cumulative increase in entrance fees for
Santa Monica residents since the 2010/2011 rates is between 71% and 150%. Yet SMC is going to pay 27% less than
what they paid in 2013?
Please direct the City Staff to not increase the Swim Center entrance and permit group fees this year, and cover the
anticipated revenue from these increases by having SMC pay at least $342,000,
Thank you for your time and consideration.

This community wants the City to bring back our library. City staff has proposed two additional permanent FTE
Librarian positions in response to Council's May 25/26 Study Session request to find ways to enhance library services
beyond what was in the proposed budget. We are happy the City is starting to recognize SMPL is a priority, but more is
needed to bring back our libraries. Please hire as many librarians and library staff as you can and open as many facilities
for as long as you can. And keep doing it as more funding becomes available. Remember, the budget you approve on
June 22nd won’t just impact library access in 2021, it will also impact library access in 2022, 2023, and beyond! To put
things in perspective, what the City Council decides this month will impact today’s Pre‐K student's library access until
they are entering Third Grade! This is a big deal!
The Proposed Budget is a guess for what our City needs. You, the City Council, were chosen to speak for our community
and the Proposed Budget does not align with the community's desires when it comes to library services. As a result, it is
up to you to prioritize the community’s needs over staff’s guesses. Bring a balance to the massive cuts the library has
already endured. Ending library services might have made sense during lockdown, but it does not make sense today. The
library has taken massive cuts and must be brought back to life.
Don’t be the reason Santa Monicans ask, “why is the library still closed” in 2023! Take the necessary steps and re‐
fund the Santa Monica Public Library system, re‐staff our libraries, and re‐open the closed branches to whatever extent
possible.
We won’t forget it!

Greetings Honorable Councilmembers,
The Santa Monica Pier Lessees Association supports the Pier and Beaches Abatement
Program as presented in the Staff Report. We also ask that Council support staff’s request to
extend abatement to the 5 small businesses that did not enroll in the Rent Deferment Program.
We want to thank staff, especially Jennifer Taylor and Nia Tang, for the well thought out
abatement program being presented. They have heard our needs and worked hard to find an
equitable solution that balances the needs of the City as well as the needs of the Pier and
Beach businesses.
We also want to thank the Council for their unwavering support of the Pier and Beach
Businesses. The Abatement Program presented will contribute to a successful resurgence of
the City of Santa Monica as we continue to recover from the devastating effects of the
pandemic.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
We request your attention to the Santa Monica Police Department Budget portion of Item 9.B. on your
agenda tonight.
One year ago, many Santa Monica residents asked why the proposed SMPD budget for 2021-23 was being
spared the deep cuts that other departments were slated to endure.
Citing the impending vote and lack of specific proposals from members of minority communities in June
2020, the City Council declined to make such revisions and ultimately increased the SMPD budget by
$600,000. At the same time, Council voted to cut the Community Services Department budget by $6.3
million (21%) and the library budget allocation by $4.6 million (35%).
One year later we ask: Why have the truths revealed nationally by the murder of George Floyd and locally
by SMPD’s severe underperformance in both its over-policing of protestors and its under-protection of
businesses and property not affected your budgetary decisions?
Why has the currently-proposed SMPD budget not been subjected to reallocation of funds, despite
growing evidence that public dollars spent on law enforcement don’t contribute as much to community
safety and wellness as personnel trained in, and connected to, violence prevention, mental health and
social services?
Public Safety Budget Reform: Seeking Advice and Failing to Take It
In September, 2020 the newly-formed Public Safety Reform Advisory Committee came to the City Council
with their recommendations. That Committee advocated meaningful but measured reduction in the
police budget. It sought “budgetary allocations that reflect the priorities of the community and are
equitable and effective.” It specifically recommended an $8 million dollar reallocation from the SMPD in
favor of critical social services. The Committee wanted you to make evidence-based reallocations that are
more aligned with community priorities.
Rather than following your own prescribed course of meaningful reform of the police budget, you again
punted. You directed staff to “take steps through the budget process to achieve more balanced
investment of City resources across all departments responsible for providing direct services to promote
community wellbeing with the addendum that the process should be informed by...the work of the Public
Safety Reform Advisory Committee to come back with more detailed set of budget proposals.”
Council did not instruct the Advisory Committee to meet again, nor have you proposed reallocation of
SMPD funds during this round of budget discussions. As other cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Culver
City and Pasadena take steps towards meaningful police reform, Santa Monica has yet to rebalance the
City’s budget consistent with evidence as to what works for community safety and wellness and the voice
of the community as to what it values. We all deserve better.
Respectfully,
The Santa Monica Coalition for Police Reform
and
Santa Monicans for Democracy

EXTERNAL
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I whole heartedly support the following priorities for funding during the coming budget period. And I hope you will as
well!
1. The reopening of libraries, especially the Fairview Branch (which does not seem to be on any reopening schedule).
Time after time when Santa Monica residents are surveyed about the city services they value, the library
is at the top (or near top) of the list. I believe our budget should reflect our priorities. It’s hard to imagine that Santa
Monicans would ever chose street sweeping, for instance, over libraries. Weekly street sweeping is a luxury we have
long enjoyed, but the pandemic showed us that monthly sweepings are adequate. Part‐time library services and closed
branches are not adequate.
2. The restoration of Municipal Code Enforcement to pre‐pandemic levels.
The need for this is self‐evident: to maintain the credibility of our codes and respect for civil behavior.
3. The restoration of support for city‐recognized Neighborhood Councils especially with membership newsletter
funding.
The neighborhood councils are the first line of civic participation for many residents. Informed participation is
essential to cultivating the connection between residents and their local government.
4. The restoration of support for crossing guards to pre‐pandemic levels.
Again, the need is self‐evident. Highly visible crossing guards make it possible for our children to walk to school
safely and signal drivers that they are seen we expect them to value our children as we do.
I know you will have some difficult decisions to make. But I sincerely believe that these items are essential to the health,
welfare, and peace of mind of all all our residents.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of these items.

Dear City Councilmembers,
Thank you again for all the support you’ve shown to both struggling businesses and nonprofits to
survive the unprecedented economic impact of the pandemic. We’re very grateful for your clear intent, based on the last meeting, to extend a nine month rent abatement for the two nonprofits at Bergamot as well as the Ruskin Group at the Airport.
I’m afraid we must agree with the Bergamot Art Galleries however that the way staff has structured qualifying for the abatement doesn’t truly take into account the impact of the shutdown. In our case, as with the City Garage or Ruskin Group, the loss of use has extended six
months beyond the end of 2020. Basing the abatement solely on our tax return for 2019 vs 2020 hardly reflects an accurate picture of what we’ve been through since that includes the first quarter of 2020, during which we were operating normally. In the fifteen months of the shutdown we’ve
seen an earned revenue loss of 90%.
Another concern, as the galleries have also pointed out, are the CAM charges, which in our case amounts is beyond the rent charged by the city. There hasn’t yet been any provision in the staff report to address this challenging concern shared by all the tenants at Bergamot.
Finally, there is the issue of terms of repayment of what remains due. The tenants at Bergamot,
as well as those on the pier and at the airport have asked for up to five years to resolve the outstanding amount in order not to cripple them during the critical recovery period we’re now entering. We hope you will consider asking staff to revisit the terms of rent abatement so that
it more fairly reflects the crushing economic realities city tenants are facing.

Dear Santa Monica City Council,
As your constituent, thank you for everything you’ve done in the past to help make Santa Monica a national leader in
programs that help prioritize people over cars and positively impact the environment.
This has been a challenging time for everyone. One small shred of hope we’ve seen while our community is sheltering in
place, is that Santa Monica has achieved the best air quality seen in our lifetime. Now is the time to continue on the
progress we’ve made. Please vote to continue crucial programs to help reach Santa Monica’s sustainability and safety
goals including:
Vision Zero Initiatives
Safe Routes to School, and crossing guards
Funding for bicycle and pedestrian programs
Employer trip reduction programs to reduce congestion
Today, we’ve made good progress against our Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) goals to reduce carbon
emissions 80% below 1990 levels by 2030; and brought down pedestrian fatalities in Santa Monica with Vision Zero (0 in
2019!). These cuts would hurt our ability to continue positive momentum on these important programs.
Thank you for considering my voice in our community, and stopping to consider alternatives that can help reach budget
reductions without compromising the health and wellbeing of our community.
Sincerely,
mary holmes

Dear Members of the City Council:
I am dismayed, saddened and frustrated to see that you are proposing to adopt a city budget that outright ignores the
recommendations that came out of the detailed and thoughtful report of the original Public Safety Reform Advisory
Committee, particularly as regards reallocation of funds to increase the number and availability of qualified staff to
respond to non‐violent incidents. If feels as though you, our city council, are abrogating your core responsibility and
focusing on what is easy rather than what is right and necessary.
As the pandemic has progressed, our downtown, Main Street and beach areas are all evidence the ever worsening crisis
‐ unhoused populations are suffering, and some are making it uncomfortable for the rest of us too ‐ yelling, disrupting
streets, beaches and sidewalks even as we hope to attract residents and visitors. As a regular walker and bicycle rider to
and from and along the beach and the various East‐West streets of our city, I see and hear people in crisis all the time.
In all too many cases, police cars are gathered and groups of police officers are trying to deal with people in what appear
to be health crises. How is enforcement the answer to health and housing crises???
After the terrible events of May 31, it seemed as though perhaps we were going to take some action. But now, after all
the investment of time, energy, expertise, passion and commitment of the volunteer ad hoc committee, we are doing
nothing to reallocate funds towards evidence based approaches that can move our city forward as we work towards
recovery and rebuilding?
It is time for some action, and you have to power to take it as you approve this budget. I urge you not to miss this
opportunity or to allow the limited momentum we have left on public safety reform to dissipate.
Please redirect funds towards qualified professionals who can provide unhoused and other people on our streets with
help and support, rather that continuing to do what doesn’t work. Our commercial streets are seeing increasingly
unpleasant incidents. Enforcement policing is not going to get us the results we need.
It is time for you to show some leadership, and demonstrate some respect for the hard work and expertise of the
Advisory Committee (even as we incorporate the new standing committee’s work into the next budget). Please take
action now, tonight, and reallocate funds as recommended by the September 2020 Report of the Public Safety Reform
Committee.
Many thanks, and please don’t let this opportunity pass.
Sincerely,
Karen Wise

RE: 6/22/21 agenda item 9-B: FY 2021-23 Budget
Dear Mayor Himmelrich and City Council,
The Board of Northeast Neighbors repeats our request that the City Council vote to restore in the
Budget the $41,000 allocation for an annual mailer for all city‐recognized neighborhood
associations.
Neighborhood association boards can generate the mailers ‐ as is our tradition. The cost to the
City is for a once‐a‐year, black and white mailer to be printed and distributed to residents with a
return (unstamped) envelope.
We do not need design assistance to assemble information that our neighborhood
residents require. We do not need matching grants that require City administrative hours and
expense.
Our City benefits from the community‐building and information
dissemination the neighborhood associations provide.
Without the City mailer the neighborhood associations our membership and engagement will
decline.
Please restore the neighborhood group annual membership mailer to the Budget.
Many thanks.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
As an Arts Commissioner and Santa Monica resident, I’m astounded by the abounding talent in this
city. Cultural and arts programs will be more important than ever as people so badly seek to reconnect
with one another, interact in the community and to begin healing from the horrific events as well as the
significant events of this past year. Any support available to the non-profit arts community would be
greatly appreciated as they are particularly vulnerable at this time. Creation and performance is a lifeline
for artists as well as for all who benefit from the work .
I hope that in consideration of allocation of federal stimulus funding, you will be able to provide an
allocation of $187,850 in ARPA economic recovery funds. I know you have always been in great support of
the arts in Santa Monica. Now as things “rebuild” , is a perfect time to continue with what is possible for
the well-being of a city in recovery. As we are a model city in so many ways, I look forward to seeing the
arts programs, many provided by non-profit organizations, continue offering experiences for everyone
living here as well as visitors to Santa Monica.
Most Sincerely ,
Kathleen Zadikian

Dear Mayor Himmelrich and City Council members:
With the start of city budget cuts in 2020 due to COVID‐19, Wilmont and other neighborhood groups identified essential
services that should be maintained (see attached letter). This includes libraries! Now that we are fully open in California
we look forward to all libraries being open including Fairview Branch and Ocean Park Library.
We are happy to see City staff responded to Councilmembers Brock, Parra, and McCowan and worked to enhance
library services beyond what was contemplated in the City's proposed budget. Staff now recommends hiring 2.0 FTE
permanent Library I (specializing in Youth and Family Services) in addition to the non‐librarian Youth Services position
originally proposed. Although this proposal will not "Save Santa Monica's Library" on its own, it is a first step and shows
the City recognizes the community's desire to get our library back. As you know, SMPL's Youth Services were decimated
by last year's budget cuts (suffering an unbelievable 80% cut), and today the City does not have enough Youth Services
Librarians for its over 90,000 residents. Recreating two Youth Services Librarians will nearly double SMPL's Youth
Services overnight.
Bring a balance to the massive cuts the library has already endured. Ending library services might have made sense
during lockdown, but it does not make sense today. The library has taken massive cuts and must be brought back to life
in some capacity. Don’t be the reason Santa Monicans ask, “why is the library still closed” in 2023! Take the necessary
steps and re‐fund the Santa Monica Public Library system, re‐staff our libraries, and re‐open the closed branches to
whatever extent possible.
As well, we again request that the city restore: 1) annual printing and mailing of membership appeal letters and return
envelopes for the city‐recognized neighborhood organizations; it's one of the key ways Wilmont outreaches to our
residents and 2) crossing guards to pre‐pandemic level; what could be more important than protecting children on
their way to school with new traffic patterns and new upsurge of cars, cyclists and escooter/ebikes.

Dear Council,
Budget requests for my area:
1) Restore funding now to complete implementation of the Sunset Park Neighborhood Traffic Management
Plan.
You may want to ask your new interim City Manager, John Jalili about the Sunset Park Traffic Plans. He was
involved when this started over 30 years ago, yes 30 years ago!
Don’t you think it is time to do a Sunset Park traffic plan instead of talking about it! Countless hours
have been spent discussing this and I never thought I would have to hope to live long enough to see it
happen. The pandemic gave Sunset Park a traffic reprieve. As soon as SMC resumes in-person instruction and
the Santa Monica Business Park offices re-open, we’ll be back to gridlock during all hours including the total
gridlock in the morning and evening rush hours. Then there is the , commuters and hundreds of delivery
trucks/vans/cars using alleys or just stopping in the streets and blocking traffic. Then just add drivers zooming
through narrow residential streets at 50 and 60 mph.
2) Please restore annual printing and mailing of membership appeal letters and return envelopes for the city-
recognized neighborhood organizations (including Friends of Sunset Park). $41,000 total for all
neighborhoods! The guidelines are reasonable, and it’s the way we reach residents who are new to the
neighborhoods. Mr. Jalili was also very good at getting neighbors involved and city staff all working
together. He gave the city a direction of all staff working together. While neighbors might have not agreed
with staff, the staff and neighbors respected each other (which seems very lacking now).
4) Re-open the Fairview Branch Library. Literacy is important to all areas of Santa Monica.
5) Restore Crossing Guards to pre-pandemic level. Our childrens lives are our future.
Thank you,
Jane Dempsey

For our New Councilmembers McCowan, Brock, De La Torre, and Parra:
Below is a link to the Santa Barbara Comparative Indicators Report. It compares the functions/budgets/staffing etc. of
12 California Coastal cities, including Santa Monica, in six key areas ("indicators"). The report is easy and quick to read
and the key information is summarized for ease of understanding in charts and graphs.
The indicators are related to City demographics, general fund revenues and expenditures, public safety, library, parks and
public works services with ten other cities. The cities include Berkeley, Carlsbad, Huntington Beach, Newport
Beach, Oceanside, Redondo Beach, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Santa Maria, Santa Monica, Sunnyvale, and Ventura.
The information was gathered from adopted and proposed budgets, online resources and reports, and communication
with staff.
While every city faces different challenges based on expectations of service levels, fiscal constraints, and community
demographics, this information provides a starting point to gauge the effectiveness and efficiency of Santa
Monica relative to these other California communities.
For instance, while Santa Monica is in the bottom third in terms of population, you'll see on Page 9 that Santa Monica has
the highest number of Authorized City Positions (FTEs) Per 1,000 Population and on Page 10 the highest Projected
General Fund Revenue Per Capita (FY 2016).
We had the highest # of Authorized Police Officers Per 1,000 Residents in FY 2016, while being below the median in
crime (based on crimes over seven years as reported in 2014) - Pages 17-18. Not clear what's happened to crime
statistically since this reporting, although we certainly hear a lot about it on NextDoor.
We also have the highest number of Authorized Fire Personnel Per 1,000 Residents, yet have the second lowest number
of square miles covered by each of our fire stations (Page 20).
And Page 24 indicates we are second-to-last in Developed Park Acreage per 1,000 population. : (
I hope each new Councilmember will review this report carefully and keep it close at hand as you make any final FY 2021-
23 Budget decisions tonight and also as you vet and approve all budgets & City financial decisions going forward. I have

EXTERNAL
Dear City Council Members,
Thank you for your continued support of the arts in Santa Monica.
It is great to see things opening up again and to be able to show people art in person, I have hope for the arts in Santa
Monica again. But if payback terms and mountains of deferred rent are piled onto art galleries this hope will be lost. I am
writing due to concerns about recommendations in the city staff report about qualifying for abatement and the payback
period for galleries. Looking at 2020 vs 2019 tax returns is odd in that it includes months before the pandemic hit and gross
sales are not an accurate picture of how well arts tenants are doing as much of the proceeds go to artists, charitable
organisations and other parties involved in the sales.
The city staff report is vague as to whether all galleries will have a reasonable pay back period. Rather than tying up
city resources evaluating each gallery we would suggest a blanket abatement and payback period but if those repayment
extensions require an economic evaluation, we ask that it be considered via profit/loss statements which provide a more
accurate picture of real income.

Dear City Council Members,
Our swim club in your pool had our first Nobel Prize last year. We also have had three Oscars winners and
two Presidential candidates that have won nine states. One contender still swims religiously with us. SCAQ
has 65 Olympic Medals who have jumped in our workouts. We can boast with almost 30,000 adults in 42
years with a diversity of 40% people were of color, 48% over 50, 16% over 60.
I am proudest to say over 3,000 people have learned to swim such that they can finish one mile in two
months. We have 50 people during covid on some type of scholarship/discount, notwithstanding the penalties,
surcharges, extra staff and extra stuffed charges your Aquatics department hits us with each month (more on
that in my next email).
You are not getting all the facts from your staff. I have been a head coach, kids and adults for 46 years in
Santa Monica. I have also been an aquatic facilities director and I can show you a few quick fixes you can
start saving $500,000 a year.
First, $300,000 gets steamed off an area of water as large as those two pools each year (a LA basin
statistic). You can save on fossil fuels, chemicals, electrical, water and equipment wear and tear. Imagine
keeping your home at 80 without a roof and your furnaces, motors, fans blasting all night? Secondly: if the city
is so callus to disregard costs and climate change what does that tell pool homeowners, apartment owners,
hotel owners? You should lead by example. By the way, there is an ongoing severe drought in California now
and for over a decade.
This is the costliest municipal pool in the country to maintain. Meet me at the pool and I will show you other
savings, they can be instant. Also, at the same time, please, let’s chat about better service.
Many of council have talked to me, I hope to hear from all of you. Also, let me introduce some of our
swimmers below.

Santa Monica City Council
1685 Main Street, Room 209
Santa Monica, CA 904012
RE: Retaining the SMPD Officer at PAL
Dear Mayor Himmelrich, Esteemed City Councilmembers and City Staff,
The Santa Monica Police Activities League (PAL) has been serving city’s most vulnerable
youth population since 1989. PAL is the program where youth, starting at the age of six,
have their first positive interactions with a police officer. It is the only program that brings
together youth of color and law enforcement in a positive setting using educational,
leadership and fitness programs as a vehicle to meet kids where they are. In the wake of
current events that have resulted in many people of color fearing and resenting the police,
PAL’s programming intentionally seeks to bridge that divide. The participants, many who
live in the Pico Neighborhood or in Community Corporation Housing have strong relations
with the Police Department. They trust the officers who interact with them on a daily basis.
PAL is the place where youth do not fear the police rather the police become their allies
and advocates for youth who struggle with varying circumstances.
Reassigning the PAL Officer back to patrol would dismantle the structure of PAL and make
PAL’s mission ineffective. The PAL Officer is the link between PAL and the police
department. Removing the PAL Officer would remove the positive day-to-day presence
of police involvement in PAL’s programming. In addition, the PAL Officer recruits other
officers to assist with classes and connects youth with mentors. If the officer is removed,
the meaning of PAL is lost and the P in PAL is fragmented. As a result, our community
would lose much of the traction that has been gained on bridging the gap between youth of
color and law enforcement.

We are asking you to not remove the PAL Officer from this effective program. Please do
not strip youth of color from the only positive interactions of getting to know officers
behind the uniform, badge and a gun. Please do not deprive our Santa Monica Police
Officers of getting to know the most vulnerable youth of our community in a nurturing
setting. Santa Monica prides itself on equity and inclusion and yet City funding to support
PAL continues to be threatened in different ways. PAL holds true to its mission - to build
trust with youth and law enforcement. Other cities throughout the nation are desperately
trying to create what the City of Santa Monica already has. We are asking the City to follow
through on its commitment to all youth. PAL’s youth are also the future of this community.
Sincerely,

THE VIRUS: OUR CALL TO ACTION
A Template to Address the Covid-19 Santa Monica Budget Impacts
Proposed by Neighborhood Association Residents May 26, 2020
CURRENT CHALLENGE The City of Santa Monica’s cash flow has taken a massive hit from the Covid-19 pandemic as 8
million annual tourists and 250,000 daily workers are gone, and it is not clear when they will
return. Ongoing costs are colliding with plummeting revenues from Transit Occupancy Tax
(TOT), sales taxes, parking, fees & charges and Utility Users Tax (UUT), exacerbated by higher
CalPERS contributions due to market losses. The City Finance Department projects a $298M
General Fund deficit for the three-year period FY 19-22.
The City has identified $106M in one-time resource savings (funds recalled, capital projects
reduced, and reserves utilized), leaving a $192M deficit. A prudent risk and probability analysis
would also consider that actual revenues might be lower than projected; therefore, a 10%
contingency ($19M) should be added, increasing the anticipated shortfall to $211M.
RECOMMENDATIONS Residents have collaborated in this document to enumerate both essential services for the
community and cuts aimed at balancing the budget. Residents expect all fiscal restructuring
recommendations will be transparent and available for public comment, including City plans to
eliminate the $106M one-time resource savings noted above.
ESSENTIAL SERVICES FOR RESIDENTS
• Maintain distribution of one mailed newsletter to all residents of each city-recognized
neighborhood organization. City would be responsible for reproduction of newsletter
provided and mailing to all neighborhood residents.
• Fire Department (SMFD)
• Police Department (SMPD), including Code Enforcement and the 40 Crossing Guards
that serve
9 elementary schools and 2 middle schools
• Sanitation Services (that are not covered by users’ fees) including sewer, storm drains,
public refuse receptacles, and street sweeping more than once a month to avoid breeding
mosquitoes

• Continue to fund free Playground Access to public school playgrounds after school and
on weekends as part of the City Supported Before/After School Youth Programs.
• Street and Alley Maintenance
• Public transportation should be maintained (Big Blue Bus and MODE).
• Public Libraries’ budget should not be cut by more than 30% to provide community
centers and services to the neighborhoods
• Water/ wastewater fee increases should be suspended given the postponement of capital
projects these fee increases were intended to fund. (Planned water rate increases average 16% a year and wastewater rate increases average 8.6% a year) Re-examine the City’s questionable goal of water self-sufficiency by 2023. Establish a City Water Board to monitor operations and distribution as well as analyze and make recommendations to
City Council.
• Maintain financial support to WISE & Healthy Aging in Santa Monica that provides meals, daycare, transportation, and mental health services for seniors in our city.
• Housing Authority -- Continue to fund senior housing including Preserving Our Diversity
(POD) and process the affordable housing wait list, which opened on May 1. The
Affordable Housing Development Program should be suspended, pending an independent
evaluation of the program’s effectiveness. The Housing Trust Fund money should be
used for immediate essential City services or monies limited to capital projects should be
utilized to accelerate/complete earthquake retrofits to update housing to survive our next
disaster, a serious earthquake.
• City Parks, including the Airport Interim Space, and the Swim Center
• Maintain commitments to Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD)
including the Joint Facilities Use Agreement and tax revenues from voter-approved ballot
measures Y & YY and GS & GSH.
• The Reduce Homelessness Framework, including the Homeless Multidisciplinary Street
Team (HMST), the C3 (City + County + Community) homeless engagement team, the
Library Services Officer, the as-needed social worker, and the Homeless Court
• Retain Boards and Commissions that have been suspended, especially ARB and
Landmarks
COST REDUCTIONS
Salaries, wages and benefits account for 69% of the General Fund’s operating expenses,
significant reductions must be considered. These criteria should apply:
• The restructuring effort must set clear financial objectives to meet regulatory and
financial requirements to budget for FY 2020-21 and plan for FY 2021-22. We
recommend leveraging the 2018 Internal Audit report on City Staffing and Compensation
as a basis for benchmarking staff that must be reduced.

o Implement all FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21 budget efficiencies/eliminations and
additional efficiencies/elimination identified in the City’s Internal Audit Reports.
o Notwithstanding employees necessary to secure essential services, implement
staffing reductions across all departments weighted to higher paid redundant
management through retirement incentives, e.g., Voluntary Early Separation
Incentive Program (VESIP) and severance or layoff (providing one-year
continuation of employee health insurance at the HMO level).
o Implement a tiered permanent annual salary reduction (e.g., 30% at the highest
pay levels down to 5% at the lowest pay levels) across all remaining employees
earning more than $60,000/year.
o Restructure future pension burdens by changing level of health benefits paid by
city to HMO only (employee may choose to pay difference between city funded
and higher health plans).
• Retain executive personnel and appropriate level of support to focus on public safety,
operations and financial management.
• Keep sufficient resources for regulatory, governance, legal, finance, human resources,
information systems, administrative and maintenance functions.
• Centralize city procurement.
• Negotiate margin cuts with vendors commensurate with the crisis.
• Require and implement arms-length bidding for all City contracts and financial
transactions.
• Renegotiate/amend to fair market rental rate the lease payments from the 55-year ground
lease of Civic Center property to Santa Monica College (SMC) for the Early Childhood
Lab School (ECLS), currently at the nominal rent of $1 per year.
• Retain city staff sufficiently skilled to determine and provide project expertise.
• Suspend hiring of new outside consultants and sunset existing consultants unless requisite
skill sets are beyond City staff capabilities.
• Determine city services that can be outsourced at comparable value at lower expense and
implement competitive outsourcing procurement as was considered for Cemetery
services..
• Discontinue municipal bond issuance, tax increases, or sale of public land to supplement
revenue for the next three years.
• Suspend for three-years General Fund expenses for capital and discretionary projects
unless already budgeted and funded or mid-stream where fiscally counterproductive.
• Abide by Appeals Court decision on the districting lawsuit and spend no additional City
revenue on appealing the case.
• Eliminate/Reduce the General Fund subsidy to Enterprise funds (Cemetery, Community
Broadband, Parking Authority, Pier, Resource Recovery and Recycling, Stormwater
Management, Wastewater, and Water).

Recreation, Citizens’ Option for Public Safety (COPS), Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), Gas Tax, Housing Authority, Local Return, Low and Moderate Income
Housing Asset, SoCal Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), Special Revenue
Source, and the Tenant Ownership Rights Charter Amendment (TORCA).
• Adopt three-year moratorium on large downtown hotel projects to protect existing hotels
during economic recovery.
CONCLUSION
This crisis requires major changes to Santa Monica’s fiscal spending patterns. Our city
government must meet regulatory budget requirements, develop a new culture of municipal
frugality to address our current situation, and prepare us for future fiscal shocks from natural,
national, or global events beyond our control.

Subject:Item 9B on City Council Meeting 6/22/2021 - Request for funds to provide dedicated Pickleball
courts and times at Memorial Park
EXTERNAL
Dear City Council Members:
Members of the Santa Monica Pickleball community, including myself, are desperately seeking funding from the Santa Monica
City Council for funding to provide dedicated Pickleball Courts and Times for Pickleball community play at Memorial Park.
Funding is needed for re striping court lines, nets, signs for schedules, rules and regs of the game and other operational costs.
Pickleball provides the city of Santa Monica residents of all ages an opportunity to get out and play, meet new friends,
socialize, feel included, get exercise, learn a new sport and stay mentally and physically healthy. Pickleball is the fastest
growing sport amongst all age groups in the U.S. Since 2019, Pickleball play in public parks across the U.S. has increased by
69%.
In Santa Monica, Pickleball is a fantastic sport for our community of seniors, who don’t have a lot of sport options to
participate in. For someone like me, who relocated to Santa Monica last year, it has been difficult to meet new friends.
Pickleball at Memorial Park has given me that opportunity to have new friends to play with, and who always make me feel
welcomed. It’s a community sport. It’s also a very popular growing sport in Santa Monica, one that is in desperate need of
dedicated courts and times. This is why I love it:
Diversity in age, culture, socio‐economics, athletic abilities.
Social interaction / making new friends / positive play and team building / players supporting each other.
Inclusive ‐ players can show up and play with any other player or rotate into any current game.
Beginners can play with intermediate players and learn the game.
Intergenerational ‐ young players play with older players.
Becoming very popular with school age kids and families.
Families play together.
Easy to learn and affordable for all.
Numbers at Memorial Park:
1 Tennis Court = 4 Pickleball Courts
4 Pickleball courts ‐ 16 players
16 players x 4 tennis courts = 64 players
64 players per 15 minutes each game = 256 players in one hour
(This is based on each player rotating out after each game)
There is an average of 75 players each day Monday ‐ Friday
There is an average of 120 players every Saturday and Sunday morning
There is an average of 120 players every Monday and Wednesday evening

My name is Lynn Soodik. I have lived in a home in Santa Monica for approximately 25 years. Prior to that I
lived in an apartment in Santa Monica. I love Santa Monica and I think this is the first thing I have ever asked
of the city.
GIVE US DEDICATED PICKLEBALL COURTS
I am almost 65 years old and have two knee replacements. Pickleball is a main source of my exercise and it is
also quite social. I currently play approximately three times a week at Memorial Park. You probably know
how many people play at that park: quite a few! I am asking that the city allocate funding to pickleball and to
give residents permanent courts.
I think you need to consider that 16 people can play on a court that is only occupied by 2-4 players. That means
more residents are enjoying what Santa Monica has to offer. While every age person can play, it is a sport
mostly played by those over 50. Isn’t it discriminating to not consider this and allow so many tennis courts and
no pickleball courts? You have a lot of youth sports programs, but you need to consider all your residents,
especially those who pay taxes. I don’t know how much you spend for the ice skating rink each year, but
couldn’t some of that money be used for pickleball courts? Also, why can Crossroads School, which has a large
endowment, use the courts instead of the residents that pay taxes for the Courts? The same can be asked about
private tennis camps.
I think in fairness for all your residents you need to provide some permanent courts. Why does tennis have a
priority? Do you have an answer for that?
Thank you for listening.

I have been playing pickleball for the past 2 and a half years.....it has added so much joy to my life. It has provided
recreation, new learning skills, but mostly new connections and friendships after my husband died. We all scramble to
get our nets out to Memorial park on a daily basis, often feeling displaced and ignored by our Parks and Rec
Department. How can the fastest growing sport in the United States not be included in Santa Monica?
Please help the hundreds of people who love this sport by providing a few courts......and come out for yourselves and
see what you're missing.......F‐U‐N!

Hello SM City Council,
I am a resident of Santa Monica. I live off of Ocean Park and Lincoln. My wife and I recently fell in love with
playing pickleball while visiting family in Texas. Once we returned from Texas, I was sad to learn that Santa Monica
doesn't have any pickleball courts. I am hoping that with the sports increase in popularity that you will consider adding
many courts in Santa Monica! Also, the courts at Memorial Park need freshly painted lines.
Some suggested areas to add courts:
Ocean Park at the beach where you already have many tennis courts and a basketball court.
Clover Park. There are a couple of tennis courts there, a few pickleball courts would be a nice addition!
This sport is super fun. Hopefully you can take the time to join us out on the court!
Many thanks,
Todd Spradlin

Hello,
My name is Amy McWethy McDermott, and I live at 1222 Princeton St in Santa Monica.
I have been playing Pickleball now for about 2 years, and I am in love with it. I grew up playing tennis since I was the
same size as a racquet, and even paddle tennis later in life. Pickleball has brought me so much joy that I missed from
having easily accessible racquet and paddle sports.
I am writing to ask you to allocate funding to pickleball ‐ specifically for dedicated permanent pickleball courts. The fact
that pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the US, and Santa Monica has done nothing to support that growth is
astonishing. Cities, Counties, Neighborhoods across the US are renovating tennis courts with pickleball lines ‐ why is
Santa Monica so behind the times?
Why should priority be given to tennis courts, when pickleball:
‐ is quicker
‐ cheaper
‐ can fit 8 people on one court vs 2 for tennis (seeing as you can fit at least 2 PB courts per tennis court, often times up
to 4 courts!)
‐ PB courts are cheaper
‐ PB has a wider use than tennis
I urge you to allocate funds to help grow this sport, and to not remove the currently only access we have to public courts
at Memorial Park.
Thank you
‐‐

Hello Save Santa Monica's Library,
EVEN IF YOU DO NOT LIVE IN SANTA MONICA Please send the below email to Santa Monica's City
Council, City Manager, and City Library. This is the end. Tonight, Santa Monica's City Council will
decide the City's biennial budget. In response to Council's May 25/26 request (which we pushed for),
City Staff has recommended reestablishing two Librarian I positions in addition to the enhancements
they already proposed. This is definitely a win for SMPL advocates. And, I am proud to say that our
emails had a big part in making it happen. Before we started sending emails, no one was even talking
about the library. This is all you! Thank you.
We want to send the Council and staff one last blast this cycle to, at the very least, make sure the
Council doesn't reject the staff's latest proposal (and maybe ask for more). Can you help?
An easy way to make a difference is to write an email or, if you prefer, send this template at

Dear Ms. Mayor, Council Members, City Manager, and City Staff:
I am happy to see City staff responded to Councilmembers Brock, Parra, and McCowan and found
a way to enhance library services beyond what was contemplated in the City's proposed budget.
Staff now recommends hiring 2.0 FTE permanent Library I (specializing in Youth and Family
Services) in addition to the non‐librarian Youth Services position originally proposed. Although
this proposal will not "Save Santa Monica's Library" on its own, it is a first step and shows the City

recognizes the community's desire to get our library back. As you know, SMPL's Youth Services
were decimated by last year's budget cuts (suffering an unbelievable 80% cut), and today the City
does not have enough Youth Services Librarians for its over 90,000 residents. Recreating two
Youth Services Librarians will nearly double SMPL's Youth Services overnight.
Community members discussed SMPL's impact on youth and more in SMDP recently:

I ask, at a minimum, you support City staff's recommendation and re‐establish two permanent
Librarian I positions but still hope you can do even more during today's City Council meeting.
Please hire as many librarians and library staff as you can and open as many facilities for as long
as you can. And keep doing it as more funding becomes available. Remember, the budget you
approve today won’t just impact library access in 2021, it will also impact library access in 2022,
2023, and beyond! To put things in perspective, what the City Council decides this month will
impact today’s Pre‐K student's library access until they are entering Third Grade! Your decision
will have a huge impact for a lot of youth!
Bring a balance to the massive cuts the library has already endured. Ending library services might
have made sense during lockdown, but it does not make sense today. The library has taken
massive cuts and must be brought back to life in some capacity. Don’t be the reason Santa
Monicans ask, “why is the library still closed” in 2023! Take the necessary steps and re‐fund the
Santa Monica Public Library system, re‐staff our libraries, and re‐open the closed branches to
whatever extent possible.
I won’t forget it!
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Feel free to modify this template before sending it, if you like. Thank you and we cannot wait to see
you all soon (at the library, or somewhere else). Please contact us if you have any questions, or just
want to say hello.

Dear City Councilmembers,
My husband and I moved to Santa Monica 19 years ago. We immediately fell in love with the city. We've enjoyed playing
different sports in many of the parks in Santa Monica. I started playing pickleball 6 months ago. I love the sport because
it's super fun and easy on my joints. I love meeting new people of all ages and ethnicity while playing pickleball.
Everyone is so friendly and so open to playing a game with me, even when I was just a beginner. I look forward to seeing
my pickleball friends on a weekly basis.
The Santa Monica pickleball community respectfully request funds in the amount of $116,650 to convert 4 tennis courts
at Memorial Park to 16 dedicated pickleball courts.
We have nearly 1,000 signatures on a petition demonstrating the overwhelming support and desire to have permanent
pickleball courts at Memorial Park. On an average day there are over 60 pickleball players of all ages, backgrounds, and
athletic abilities at Memorial Park. Memorial Park is now THE GO TO VENUE for all of Santa Monica, West Los Angeles
and Los Angeles. Tourists from all over the United States come to Santa Monica to play pickleball at Memorial Park.
There are currently 31 dedicated tennis courts throughout the City, however there are still zero dedicated pickleball
courts within Santa Monica. A Pickleball Center at Memorial Park would encourage tennis usage at other under‐utilized
tennis courts. Sixteen pickleball players can simultaneously play four games on one tennis court maximizing the very
limited court space. While we wait for the Memorial Park Master Plan to be implemented, we are in desperate need of
equal dedicated court space.
Thank you,

Dear Council Members,
As a resident of Santa Monica, I would like to endorse the motion to set aside funds to build new permanent pickleball
courts for the City.
These courts would add to the excellent portfolio of recreational offerings of our City and will further distinguish Santa
Monica as the gem of Southern California.
Pickleball has grown in popularity because the sport is enjoyed by all age groups, including Seniors. It's an activity that
promotes community besides the obvious benefits of physical and mental health.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing the favorable decision to build new pickleball
courts.
Sincerely,
Susan Sien

Hello!
I'm a resident at 2627 Highland Ave in Santa Monica and despite being new to pickleball, I'm an addict! Problem is, there
are no courts in Santa Monica. We have tennis courts galore and we try to use the tennis courts but let's be honest ‐ that
gets super confusing and is not ideal. Santa Monica needs dedicated pickleball courts not shared with tennis players.
Further, at Memorial Park, it would be great to repaint the pickleball lines so we can see them.
My mother‐in‐law and her husband have become quite the pickleball players and introduced me and my husband to the
sport. It was love from the first game because it was super fun but it also was a great workout. But if I'm ever going to
beat my inlaws at pickleball, I need some serious practice. Help me beat my inlaws at pickleball by providing courts in
Santa Monica that I can use.
Thank you for your consideration!
Vanessa
