EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a review and an update to the Fiscal Year 2018-19 General Fund Budget and revenue and expenditures projections through June 30, 2019. Budget amendments are proposed for the General Fund, including an increase in revenue by $4.9 million to $96 million, an increase in operating expenditures by $2.2 million to $96 million, and an appropriation of $7.9 million for the pay down of Pension/OPEB unfunded liabilities based on the Council approved Pension/OPEB funding policy. In addition, budget amendments are being proposed for the non-General Fund programs, based on the operational needs.
Further, staff recommends workforce changes, which include the addition of two new full-time equivalent positions, one in the Finance Department and one in the Planning, Building and Transportation Department, and the reallocation of two positions. In addition, staff recommends an amendment to the Alameda City Employees Association (ACEA) Salary Schedule to establish, effective March 31, 2019, a new entry-level classification, retitle an existing classification, as well as provide for equity adjustments to increase the base pay of five classifications that have been historically difficult to recruit in order to improve City market position and ability to attract and retain qualified employees.
BACKGROUND
This report updates Fiscal Year 2018-19 financial projections for the General Fund and proposes current year budget amendments for various City funds to reflect and respond to the City’s current financial condition.
The discussion below is presented in the following sections:
I. General Fund Revenues
II. General Fund Expenditures
III. Pension/OPEB Funding Status and Policy
IV. General Fund Annual Activity and Forecast
V. Non-General Fund Programs
VI. Workforce Changes
DISCUSSION
The City Council originally adopted the FY 2018-19 Budget on June 7, 2017. On June 19, 2018, staff presented a Mid-Cycle Budget Update that provided revisions to various City funds, which were adopted by the City Council. Since adoption, the budget has been selectively amended for specific programs, primarily for capital project activity. At this time, staff recommends approving a series of amendments to the FY 2018-19 General Fund budget based upon year-to-date activity and updated revenue projections. A short list of non-General Fund program budget amendments is also recommended for approval. To provide context for these recommendations, updated General Fund projections are provided for the upcoming FY 2018-19 budget year.
I. General Fund Revenues
As shown in the following graph and as detailed in Exhibit 4, General Fund revenues in FY 2018-19 are projected to increase by $4.9 million and to reach $96 million in total. Nearly half of this revenue increase, $2.1 million, is driven by property transfer tax proceeds resulting from the sale of a high-value real estate parcel.
General Fund
Revenue
Ø Property Tax and related taxes are projected to be $1.1 million higher than the current budget. As detailed in Exhibit 5, the County Assessor has increased assessed values in the City by 8.0% over the prior year. The City is realizing strong property tax related revenue growth. Future growth in assessed values above the State Prop 13 annual 2% cap is limited to property turnover or new development entering the tax roll.
Ø Transactions and Use Tax revenue is estimated at $800,000 for FY 2018-19, following the voter approved increase of the Sales Tax by 0.5% in November 2018. Because the Transactions and Use Tax is applied differently than regular Sales Tax, it is difficult to project what amount may be collected. In addition, because it is a new tax, staff expects that there will be an adjustment period to ensure the tax is collected appropriately. Furthermore, Alameda’s regular sales tax revenue is substantially generated from business and industry sources. This is an unknown factor as to how it will affect the Transactions and Use Tax application.
Ø Property Transfer Tax, charged at the point of property resale, continues to generate substantial one-time revenues for the General Fund. The projection for FY 2018-19 is increasing by $2.1 million to $12.5 million for the year. This increase has been generated from two transactions, South Shore Beach & Tennis Club and Alameda Center located near Alameda Landing, and was offset by a reduction in transactions under $20,000. The FY 2018-19 annual projection is based upon the following stratification of tax receipts:
FY 2018-19 Transfer Tax Projection
Properties <$20,000 tax per transaction $ 7,400,000
Properties >$20,000 < $500,000 2,300,000
Properties >$500,000 tax per transaction 2,800,000
$12,500,000
It is staff’s recommendation that the baseline projection for future years be set at $10.5 million to match the revenue generated from the most likely individual transactions of less than $20,000. Due to the high volatility of this revenue source and the unpredictable sale of larger properties, budgeting and appropriation of revenues from larger properties are recommended to be deferred until after actual receipt of such revenues. With future year projections of $10.5 million per year, over 10% of the operating budget will be dependent upon ongoing property sales within the City and, as a result, this portion of the budget is particularly susceptible to recession or other fluctuations in real estate activity.
Ø Franchise Fees are being decreased by $176,000 from the budget. Cable franchise fee revenue has been trending down by $121,000. Staff estimates a $50,000 reduction in PG&E franchise revenue due to the company’s filing for bankruptcy protection.
Ø Program Revenues in the Fire Department are being increased by $845,000 mostly for reimbursement of expenditures for the State’s mutual aid and Ground Emergency Medical Transportation as well as ambulance billing fees. Police Department revenues increased in mutual aid and contractual overtime reimbursements, which are offset by a reduction in revenue from animal license fees. The revenue is not being collected due to an unexpected delay in recruiting and retaining part-time staff tasked with program implementation, billing and collection of the license fees.
II. General Fund Expenditures
A summary and year-to-date status of General Fund expenditures are presented in Exhibits 6 and 7. Operating expenses in total, by category, and by department are all tracking at or below approximately 50% of the annual budget through the first six-months of the year.
Operating expenditure budget amendments are proposed to reflect the following program needs and equipment requirements:
• Administration - City Clerk - $650,000
As a result of the Special Election to be held on April 9, 2019, the City Clerk’s Office elections budget will require an increase to pay for the County costs associated with the election. The County provided a range for the costs varying from $580,000 to $740,000.
• Administration - Economic Development - $88,000
Re-appropriate $88,000 for homelessness programs and services. These funds were originally allocated by the City Council in March 2018; but were not expended by the end of FY 2017-18. At this time, staff is proceeding with installing parking meters used not for parking but instead to raise funding and community awareness for homeless services and is re-appropriating additional case management service funds toward the warming center since there are funds needed due to more rainy/cold days than originally budgeted. Staff is moving forward with the other programs proposed to be funded, based on the March 2018 report.
• Fire Operations - $476,000
FY 2018-19 budget increase is proposed to fund $318,000 of mutual aid overtime incurred by the department mostly during the Carr and Camp fires and $158,000 to cover the increased costs of fuel, medical supplies, medical computer equipment and contractual services.
• Vacancy Savings - $250,000
The Mid-Cycle Budget assumed a $250,000 vacancy savings for the General Fund, which was budgeted but not allocated to a specific department. In reviewing the salaries and benefits through the end of the fiscal year, these savings are being applied to the Police Department.
• Capital Projects - $1,012,000
A transfer from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund #310 of $1,012,000 is proposed to fund Encinal Boat Launch Facility construction soft costs; Estuary Park (Phase 2) removal of contaminated soil and fencing installation; Climate Change Plan project delivery that is funded by a Caltrans grant, Shoreline Park Pathway Lighting Replacement including the replacement of a 30-year old electrical system and light poles; and installation of a Modular Restroom at the Alameda Point Gym. These transfers out are offset with an estimated transfer in of $241,000 from the Fire Station 3/EOC Fund #319. This amount is from unused General Fund contribution toward construction of the two facilities. These projects are fully funded by the combination of the transfer in and additional tax revenues expected this fiscal year. Further details on the projects are described below.
III. Pension/OPEB Status and Policy
A General Fund expenditure budget amendment also includes the City’s Pension/OPEB additional contribution established based on the fiscal year 2017-18 year-end results. The City adopted a Pension/OPEB funding policy to address a growing unfunded liability for the City’s pension and OPEB (retiree medical) benefit programs. Based upon the most recent actuary reports, both the City’s CalPERS pension and OPEB plans have accumulated significant unfunded liabilities, and face increasing annual payment requirements.
Because CalPERS adopted a 7-year payment phase-in for recent changes in actuarial assumptions, including a reduction of the pension plan’s investment earnings assumption from 7.5% to 7.0%, CalPERS is expecting increasing payments towards the City’s unfunded liabilities each year. Annual payments are increasing $1-2 million per year and are expected to double over 5 years.
Through the City’s Pension/OPEB Funding Policy, the City commits additional funds as available each year to pay down pension/OPEB obligations in advance. Specifically, 50% of the surplus available fund balance at the end of each fiscal year, in excess of a reserve target of 25% of annual operating expenditures (20% operating reserve plus 5% economic uncertainty reserve), is committed to funding Pension/OPEB obligations. Through advance pay down, the City can begin to mitigate its growing payment obligations. Without mitigation, pension/OPEB payment obligations are at risk of “crowding out” the allocation of General Tax dollars to current services and programs.
During FY 2017-18, the City Council approved a $16.4 million contribution towards pension and OPEB liabilities. Staff worked with a CalPERS actuary and made a pension down payment of $10.7 million. This action saved the City’s General Fund $1.06 million in FY 2018-19 CalPERS unfunded liability payment. The remaining balance of $5.7 million was deposited into established IRC Section 115 irrevocable trust accounts for pension/OPEB with PARS.
As of June 2018, the General Fund had $7.9 million in fund balance reserves committed to the pay down of pension/OPEB obligations. By policy, 75% of pension reserves are paid directly to CalPERS, and 25% is contributed to a dedicated Section 115 trust for the future payment of pension expenses. OPEB reserves are also contributed to a Section 115 trust restricted to the payment of retiree medical benefits. With the proposed budget amendment and pre-payments to CalPERS, the City will realize approximately $0.5 million in FY 2019-20 budget savings. These savings will grow over time as CalPERS liabilities are reduced. With each year of new funding, the City can continue to mitigate and reduce the operating budget impact of its annual CalPERS and OPEB funding requirements.
IV. General Fund Annual Activity and Forecast
The proposed FY 2018-19 budget amendments, as shown in Exhibits 4 and 6, will increase General Fund revenue by $4.9 million, to $96 million, and will increase operating expenditures by $2.2 million, to $96 million in operating expenditures, and to $104 million in total expenditures including annual Pension/OPEB reserve funding. The following graph depicts General Fund revenue and expenditure trends, including updated FY 2018-19 revenue projections (Exhibit 2). For FY 2018-19, the revenue/expenditure $8,000 gap adopted in the Mid-Cycle budget now widens to $174,000 as a result of budget amendments approved during the year, including a local match for the SAFER grant and community paramedicine program, funding of the purchase of a parcel through eminent domain for the Jean Sweeney Open Space Park and gap funding for the Cross Alameda Trail along Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway, which are offset by the proposed increases in various revenue sources.
General Fund
Net Annual Activity
The General Fund available fund balance at June 2019 is projected in Exhibit 3 at $31 million, or 32% of the General Fund’s $96 million in operating expenditures. With implementation of the Pension/OPEB reserve policy for FY 2018-19 results, 50% of the surplus fund balance in excess of 25% will be committed to next year’s Pension/OPEB reserve funding, and the adjusted available fund balance at June 2019 is projected at 29% of annual operating expenditures.
The General Fund 5-year forecast will be presented in the FY 2019-21 Biennial budget scheduled for City Council adoption in June 2019. As the City plans its ongoing programs and services, it will need to balance its increasing cash flow requirements for legacy pension/OPEB obligations with its commitment to maintain and enhance City services.
V. Non-General Fund Programs
In addition to the General Fund amendments discussed above, the following adjustments are proposed for programs outside of the General Fund. These adjustments are detailed in the list of budget adjustments presented on Exhibit 1.
• Rent Stabilization Fund - $550,000 Revenue reduction
Update revenue budget to reduce Rent Stabilization program revenue by $550,000. The original budget was based on the Fiscal Year 2017-18 fee study, which set a higher fee than the fee approved for the current year.
• Fleet Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Lease Revenue - $400,000 Revenue increase
No revenue has been budgeted for the current year due to anticipated takeover of the warehouse building by the Developer. Since the takeover did not happen early in the year, lease revenues continued to be collected by the City.
• Tidelands Fund - $111,400 Expenditure increase
The transfers out to the Capital Projects Fund are proposed to be increased to provide funding for the Encinal Boat Launch Facility service road paving project and parking lot resurfacing project.
• Transportation Fund - $24,000 Revenue increase
Increase grant revenue budget by $24,000.
• Gas Tax Fund - $130,000 Expenditure increase
The transfer out to the Capital Projects Fund is proposed to be increased to cover a shortfall in funding for the Park Street Corridor project.
• Community Development Fund - $315,000 Revenue increase
Update net revenue budget to increase planning and building development related revenue by $315,000. The City has been experiencing greater permit activity than originally anticipated in the areas of building permits, electrical permits and plan checking resulting in an increase of $465,000. However, the Code Enforcement related revenues have not been keeping up with budget and are being reduced by $150,000 due to lack in staffing and enforcement.
• Unemployment Internal Service Fund - $100,000 Expenditure increase
At mid-year, this budget was increased for Fiscal Year 2017-18 to reflect the downward trend in cost during the prior two fiscal years. However, expenses for 2018-19 continue to trend closer to cost incurred during Fiscal Years 2017-18. The Human Resources Department is monitoring year-to-date unemployment claims activity and is recommending an increase to the unemployment claims expenditure budget by $100,000. Sufficient fund balance reserves in the fund are available to cover this increase in 2018-19 claims activity.
• General Liability - $60,000 Revenue reduction
Update revenue budget to reduce revenue by $60,000. The City stopped receiving an equity distribution from its risk pool due to its effort to restore equity levels drawn down during the last recession.
• Cable Franchise Fund - $19,000 Revenue reduction / $30,000 Expenditure increase
Increase expenditure budget by $30,000 to cover the costs of the City Council Chamber timing system installation that was not anticipated in the original budget. Reduce cable franchise revenue by $19,000 as it has been trending down.
• Equipment Replacement Fund Internal Service Fund - $138,000 Expenditure increase
A Fire Battalion Chief’s vehicles was totaled in an accident. A budget amendment of $75,000 is proposed to draw fund balance in the Equipment Replacement Internal Service Fund #701 allocated to the Fire Department to cover the cost to replace this vehicle. Some of the replacement costs are expected to be recovered from insurance proceeds less deductible amount.
A budget amendment is proposed to appropriate $63,000 from the Equipment Replacement Internal Service Fund #701 allocated to the Police Department to cover the costs of an annual taser maintenance contract. This appropriation was erroneously omitted when the budget was originally set for FY 2018-19. With City Council approval, sufficient funds have been transferred over in FY 2015-16 to cover the cost of this 5-year maintenance contract.
• Closed Pension Funds - $251,000 Expenditure reduction
As the City’s closed pension plans (1079/1082) wind down, surplus funds are expected as annual pension payments for these plans diminish. The City’s Pension and OPEB Funding Policy provides for surplus funds in the closed pension funds to be transferred to the Pension/OPEB Reserve Fund for the retirement of CalPERS pension and OPEB (retiree medical) obligations. As of June 2019, an additional $251,000 is available to increase the existing 2018-19 budgeted transfer of $491,000. The total proposed 2018-19 contribution of $7,000 will be transferred from the closed pension funds into the City’s Pension/OPEB Reserve Fund to further mitigate the City’s risk for increasing pension/OPEB payment obligations.
• Capital Improvement Projects Fund:
• Estuary Park (Phase 2) ($60,000 revenue/expenditures) - additional funding is required to remove contaminated soil and construct safety fencing around the area.
• Encinal Boat Launch Facility ($1,632,000 revenue/expenditures) - increase budgeted revenue and expenditures for the construction of the facility funded by the $1.45 million grant from the Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Boating and Waterways, $30,000 from the Tidelands Fund for parking lot resurfacing, and $152,000 from General Fund contributions for project management and inspection costs.
• Park Street Corridor ($130,000 revenue/expenditures) - additional funding is needed to cover a shortfall in the local match for a federal grant.
• Pavement Management ($81,400 revenue/expenditures) - increase budgeted revenues and expenditures for a paving project related to the Encinal Boat Launch Facility service road funded by the Tidelands Fund.
• Climate Change ($236,375 revenue/expenditures) - increase budgeted revenue and expenditures for the delivery and project implementation funded by the Caltrans grant.
• Shoreline Park Pathway Lighting Replacement ($550,000 revenue/expenditures) - project will replace pathway lights along Shoreline Park from the Bay Farm Bridge to the park at Sea View Parkway. This will include light poles and lighted bollards plus replacement of the electrical system, which is over 30 years old. This project is underfunded and would only be partially completed with available funds.
• Modular Restroom at Alameda Point Gym ($250,000 revenue/expenditures) - a modular restroom will be installed outside of the gym. The current facility is not usable due to its condition and lack of ADA access. The new modular facility will also be available to the adjacent skate park users. This project is also underfunded and cannot be completed with available funds due to utility issues to address.
VI. Workforce Changes
New Positions
Staff is recommending the allocation of a new two-year limited duration Permit Technician III position in the Planning, Building and Transportation Department to support the increased workload at the Permit Counter. This will free up Planners, who are currently working the permit counter, to address major projects and planning and building policy directives. The cost of the position is estimated at $97,000 at the top step. The Department has sufficient funds to cover the cost for the remainder of this Fiscal Year. This position will be funded by planning and building permit fees.
Staff also recommends adding one Senior Management Analyst position in the Finance Department. This position will perform complex, non-accounting analytical work including finalizing the procurement process, rewriting the purchasing policy, and assisting and leading budget preparation, implementation and evaluation. This new position will allow the Finance Director to focus on more complex projects and priorities. The estimated fully burdened cost of this position is $164,000 annually at the top step. The Department has sufficient funds to cover the cost for the remainder of this Fiscal Year. Funding for Fiscal Year 2019-20 will be included in the Biennial budget. This position will be funded by the General Fund.
Position Upgrades
Staff recommends the reallocation of two existing full-time equivalent positions in the Public Works Department effective March 31, 2019. Based on the results of a classification study, the Engineering Office Assistant position is recommended to be reallocated to an Executive Assistant position to better reflect the incumbent’s full scope of duties. It is also recommended to reallocate a vacant Transportation Engineer position to a Supervising Civil Engineer position to ensure oversight of engineering staff and projects and the successful execution of Alameda’s long-term traffic/transportation planning goals, which have grown in complexity and volume. The estimated cost of this change annually is $22,000 for the Executive Assistant and $40,000 for the Supervising Civil Engineer. The Public Works Department has sufficient funds to cover this cost for the remainder of the Fiscal Year. In future years the Executive Assistant will be funded through cost allocation within the department and the General Fund and the Supervising Civil Engineer will be funded by Measures B and BB.
Equity Adjustments and New Classification
It is recommended to amend the ACEA Salary Schedule effective March 31, 2019, to add a new entry-level classification of Combination Building Inspector I and retitle the existing journey level Combination Building Inspector classification to Combination Building Inspector II. This change will provide an entry level classification allowing the City to recruit, attract and retain candidates at either the entry or journey level. No new position will be allocated at this time.
Staff also recommends an equity adjustment to increase the salary range for the Combination Building Inspector classification series. Vacancies in these classifications have been difficult to fill and the salaries have surveyed below the market median. Additionally, staff recommends the Fire/Building Code Compliance Officer, Senior Fire Code Compliance Officer and Senior Building Code Compliance Officer salaries be adjusted in order to maintain internal equity with the Combination Building Inspector series and to assist in the recruitment and retention of qualified applicants.
The annual cost of the equity adjustments for all positions with the exception of the Fire Code/Building Compliance Officer and Senior Fire/Building Code Compliance Officer is estimated at $108,950 and will be funded by revenue generated from planning and building fees. The annual cost of the change to the Fire Code/Building Compliance Officer and Senior Fire/Building Code Compliance Officer as currently allocated in the Fire Department is $8,800. The Planning, Building and Transportation Department and Fire Department have sufficient funds to cover the cost of the adjustments for the remainder of the Fiscal Year. Funding for Fiscal Year 2019-20 will be included in the Biennial budget.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed budget amendments to the FY 2018-19 Budget, as detailed on Exhibit 1, will increase General Fund revenue by $4.9 million, to $96 million, and will increase operating expenditures by $2.2 million, to $96 million in operating expenditures, and to $104 million total expenditures including annual Pension/OPEB reserve funding. After implementation of the Pension/OPEB reserve policy for 2018-19 results, the adjusted available fund balance at June 2019 is projected at 29% of annual operating expenditures.
The net impact of the proposed amendments on all other funds will increase both revenues by $ 11.2 million and expenditures by $3.9 million.
