This item is not related to the Climate Action Plan.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item falls within the Effective City Services & Reliable Infrastructure focus area of the
Strategic Plan by providing services consistently, timely, and predictably and planning and
executing infrastructure investments in a fiscally responsible manner.
FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The proposed FY 2024-25 Operating Budget is balanced, and all policy-directed reserves are fully
funded.
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 1 of 48
The proposed operating budget reflects a total City budget of $135.1 million in revenue that funds
$131.8 million in expenses. Proposed FY 2024-25 capital and work project appropriations total
$13.4 million.
The General Fund operating budget is $107.5 million in revenue that funds $100.0 million in
expenditures. Debt service transfers total $5.5 million, and General Fund transfers to capital
improvement projects total $3.9 million.
The City has an established financial policy regarding maintaining adequate financial reserves.
The General Fund contingency reserve is fully funded at 20 percent of operating expenditures
($20.0 million). The budget stabilization reserve is fully funded at two percent of revenue ($2.2
million).
With approval of the Proposed Budget, the FY 2024-25 General Fund unassigned ending fund
balance is projected to be $0.8 million on June 30, 2025.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Encinitas fiscal year starts July 1 and ends June 30. Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) is
displayed as FY 2024-25 because it crosses calendar years.
Fund Balance
If City Council approves the FY 2024-25 operating and capital budget as proposed, the
unassigned General Fund balance is projected at $0.8 million on June 30, 2025.
The General Fund Projected Budgetary Fund Balance (Attachment 1) includes the audited
General Fund balance for the prior fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. Appropriations approved by
the City Council during FY 2023-24 are deducted from the unassigned fund balance to project the
budgetary fund balance available for appropriation.
If City Council approves the third quarter adjustments requested in a separate report on May 15,
2024, the unassigned General Fund balance available for City Council appropriation is projected
at $5.2 million on June 30, 2024. Budget forecasts and workshop discussions projected $4.3
million of General Fund unassigned fund balance available for appropriation in next FY 2024-25.
The $0.9 million difference is comprised of base budget changes already included in the operating
budget, restricted/mandated projects programmed in the capital budget, and restating policy-
directed reserves based on the new fiscal year revenue and expense projections.
Legal Authorization
A public agency may not spend public funds without the legal authorization to do so. A budget
appropriates public funds, providing the legal authorization from the governing body to expend
these funds. City Council must approve the budget and authorize spending authority
(appropriations) prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1, 2024. The FY 2024-25
operating and capital budget is scheduled to be considered for adoption on June 12, 2024.
Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit)
The FY 2024-25 Appropriations Limit will be included in the Adopted Budget scheduled for
consideration on June 12, 2024.
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 2 of 48
The City must annually establish its appropriations limit pertaining to the proceeds from taxes in
compliance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and Cal. Government Code Sec 7910.
For FY 2024-25, the City's estimated appropriations of proceeds from taxes, less statutory
exclusions, do not appear to exceed the limit and are not expected to present a constraint on
current or future deliberations. The California Department of Finance typically publishes the price
and population data to calculate the appropriations limit in May.
Strategic Planning Framework
Each year, the City Council reviews its priorities for the year at its annual Council Retreat. A
Council priority is defined as a topic that will receive significant attention and budget consideration
during the year. Typically, priorities have a one to three-year time limit, although some may
continue beyond that time. On Tuesday, February 6, 2024, the City Council selected the following
focus areas to include as the categories for its highest priorities:
Effective City Services & Reliable Infrastructure
Housing & Affordability
Engagement & Education
Ensuring & Preserving Community Character
Environmental Health & Leadership
Mobility & Alternate Modes.
Council Goals:
100% affordable housing (choose site, define project, explore funding options)
Prioritize remaining streetscape elements (complete C, Stormwater, B, A South)
Safe, legal railroad crossings and establish citywide quiet zones
Expand habitat stewardship and explore open space preservation (identify resources to
fund and better manage our natural resources)
Consider Infrastructure Task Force prioritization and funding recommendations
Build on the bike safety emergency declaration goals and implement Vision Zero
Public Involvement
On November 16, 2022, City Council directed staff to proceed with the formation of a one-year
community task force to evaluate the City’s infrastructure (roads, bridges, facilities, etc.) backlog,
prioritization, and anticipated financial needs and opportunities for funding for future infrastructure.
The Infrastructure Task Force (ITF) was comprised of seven members of the community, by
appointment of the City Council, from a variety of backgrounds, with interest and experience in
Capital Infrastructure Projects. This group advised City Council and worked with the City Engineer
and City staff to meet the goals and objectives of the Task Force.
The work of the ITF has concluded, and the Final Report was presented to City Council on
February 28, 2024. At that meeting, City Council approved outreach and possible ballot writing
services for a potential one-cent local sales tax measure. No additional revenues are projected in
the FY 2024-25 budget, given the unknowns of whether City Council will place the measure on
the November 2024 ballot and whether voters will decide to implement the tax.
During a special City Council meeting on March 20, 2024, Q3 Consulting presented their Leucadia
Area Watershed Drainage Feasibility Study which was completed in December 2022. The study
modeled existing flooding in three subareas and provided the recommendations to address a 100-
year storm.
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 3 of 48
Budget Workshops, offering opportunities for the public to provide input on budget priorities, were
held at special City Council meetings on March 27 and April 17, 2024. During the workshops, staff
presented the five-year financial forecast for the General Fund, and City Council provided
direction on the City's Capital Improvement Program including prioritization, timelines and project
funding.
On May 15, 2024, this report introduces the proposed FY 2024-25 operating budget and CIP for
review, public input, and City Council direction.
On June 12, 2024, staff will recommend adoption of the proposed operating and CIP budgets via
Resolution.
ANALYSIS:
The FY 2024-25 Budget reflects City Council’s priorities to provide critical services to the
community and to fund needed capital improvement projects.
The Budget in Brief (Attachment 2) summarizes the proposed operating and capital budgets.
The Fund Balance Analysis (Attachment 3) projects beginning fund balance, revenues, operating
expenditures, and transfers for operations, debt service, and capital projects. This schedule is
used to ensure policy directed reserves can be met; identify timing issues related to grant
reimbursements; and determine interfund transfers.
The General Fund Summary (Attachment 4) shows prior year actuals, current year budget, and
the proposed budget for expenditures by division and source. Interfund operating and debt service
transfers are also listed here.
Financial Summaries - Revenues (Attachment 5) describes major revenue sources, explains
assumptions for estimates, and discusses significant trends.
Financial Summaries - Expenses (Attachment 6) provides additional context for categories used
in budget monitoring and reporting.
The Five-Year Capital Improvement Program FY 2024-25 through FY 2028-29 Plan (Attachment
7) has been updated add Fiscal Year 2028-29 to the plan and to reflect FY 2024-25 funding
changes directed at the budget workshop on April 17,2024.
CIP Projects by Status (Attachment 8) lists priority projects managed by the Engineering
Department and shows the current backlog of partially funded projects.
OPERATING BUDGET
The operating budget maintains current levels of service while meeting debt, pension, and
contractual obligations.
The proposed budget also includes funding for the following new programs discussed during the
current Fiscal Year 2023-24:
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 4 of 48
$777K Second HOPE team ($335K start up with $442K ongoing)
$200K Homeless Solutions Coordinator, new 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) position
added at midyear
$650K Pacific View Arts Center operations, part-time personnel, maintenance,
equipment, supplies for new facility and programs
$347K Debt service for 2024 Bond (Land Purchase), debt issue in progress.
During budget workshops, City Council discussed options for the projected $4.3 million of General
Fund unassigned fund balance available for appropriation. At the second workshop on April 17,
2024, City Council provided direction to program $3,508,500 in the next fiscal year and leave
$791,500 as projected unassigned fund balance.
Of this $3.5 million total, $0.1 million has been programmed in the operating budget and $3.4
million in the capital budget. Specifically, the proposed operating budget includes the following
Council-directed items totaling $98,500:
$50K On-call drainage consulting (Q3) in Engineering capital projects division
$40K Additional funding for visitor center and local business promotion (Chamber of
Commerce) in economic development
$8.5K Heritage Tree Lighting (Encinitas Historical Society) in recreation programs (with
holiday parade budget).
No increases to the number of City employees are proposed. Scheduled advancements and
reclassifications needed to support enhanced services and continuity of operations are included
in the FY 2024-25 personnel budget. The City’s employee count totaled 248.40 FTE on July 1,
2023. A new Homeless Services Coordinator position was approved midyear on February 28,
2022, bringing the FY 2023-24 total to 249.40 FTE (excluding San Dieguito Water District
personnel).
Internal service fund budgets include scheduled equipment and vehicle replacements. Fire
apparatus replacement expenses totaling $3.5 million are included in the proposed budget, but
lease revenue will not be budgeted until financing is requested and approved by Council during
the fiscal year.
CAPITAL BUDGET
The proposed plan through FY 2028-29 contains $57.9 million in capital improvement/work
projects over the next five years. Of the five-year total, $13.4 million is programmed for FY 2024-
25. The proposed FY 2024-25 capital budget includes $3.9 million from the General Fund, with
all other funds totaling $9.5 million.
The capital budget appropriates funds for FY 2024-25 only. Projects shown in future years are
programmed into CIP plan and are not funded until each subsequent budget adoption.
In a typical budget cycle, departments review existing projects for potential closure to release
budget for reappropriation; update amounts to be programmed in future years; and submit new
projects for potential community and City Council consideration.
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 5 of 48
The current operating budget and five-year financial plan in June 2023 programmed $1.7 million
from the General Fund for capital projects in FY 2024-25. During budget workshops on March 27
and April 17, 2024, City Council reviewed the CIP plan and past practice of maintaining $2.0
million in unassigned fund balance throughout the fiscal year.
For workshop discussions, staff included $0.54 million for the following mandated or restricted
items in the capital budget:
$0.25M Open Space Plan Update (WC25A), new item with State mandate
$0.24M Park Improvement Projects (CP04G), annual transfer of cell tower lease revenue
$0.05M ADA Curb Ramp Project (CS16C), Transition Plan compliance.
At the second budget workshop on April 17, 2024, City Council directed staff to include $3.41
million in funding for the following projects:
$1.80M Extend N101 Drainage to Grandview (CD23A), existing project with new Scope
$0.80M Protected Intersection (CS25B), new project - Design & Construction Estimate
$0.30M General Mobility (CS18E), annual funding in approved CIP Plan
$0.20M Safe Routes to School (CS01E), annual funding in approved CIP Plan
$0.15M Native Plant Ordinance Related Activities (WC25B), demonstration garden,
education, etc.
$0.10M Encinitas Habitat Stewardship Program (WC11A)
$0.06M Orpheus/Paul Ecke Central Bike Project, new project (CS25C).
The City's Capital Improvement Program is not limited to the projects discussed above. Workshop
discussions focus on General Fund appropriations for the new fiscal year because it is the most
discretionary source of funding. The capital budget includes multiple restricted funding sources,
including grants, gas tax, and impact fees, that provide funding for the CIP.
Also, many existing projects are still in progress and retain unspent appropriations from prior
years that are still committed to the project until expended or returned to the original funding
source.
Each year the CIP and Traffic Engineering teams execute a Work Plan based on funded projects.

Operating
The operating budget maintains current levels of service while meeting debt, pension, and contractual
obligations. It also includes funding for the following new programs discussed during the current Fiscal Year
2023-24:
$777K Second HOPE team ($335K start up with $442K ongoing)
$200K Homeless Solutions Coordinator, new 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) position added at midyear
$650K Pacific View Arts Center operations, part-time personnel, maintenance, equipment, supplies for new
facility and programs
$347K Debt service for 2024 Bond (Land Purchase), debt issue in progress.
During budget workshops, City Council discussed options for the projected $4.3 million of General Fund
unassigned fund balance available for appropriation. At the second budget workshop on April 17, 2024,
Council provided direction on programming $3,508,500 in the next fiscal year, leaving $791,500 in unassigned
fund balance. Of this $3.5 million total, $0.1 million has been programmed in the operating budget and $3.4
million in the capital budget. Specifically, the proposed operating budget includes the following Council-
directed items totaling $98,500:
$50K On-call drainage consulting (Q3) in Engineering capital projects division
$40K Additional funding for visitor center and local business promotion (Chamber of Commerce) in
economic development
$8.5K Heritage Tree Lighting (Encinitas Historical Society) in recreation programs, holiday parade.
Capital and Work Projects
Prior to budget workshops, staff included $0.54 million for the following mandated or restricted items in the
capital budget:
$0.25M Open Space Plan Update (WC25A), new item with State mandate
$0.24M Park Improvement Projects (CP04G), annual transfer of cell tower lease revenue
$0.05M ADA Curb Ramp Project (CS16C), Transition Plan compliance.
At the second budget workshop on April 17, 2024, Council programmed $3.41 million in funding for the
following projects:
$1.80M Extend N101 Drainage to Grandview (CD23A), existing project with new Scope
$0.80M Protected Intersection (CS25B), new project - Design & Construction Estimate
$0.30M General Mobility (CS18E), annual funding in approved CIP Plan
$0.20M Safe Routes to School (CS01E), annual funding in approved CIP Plan
$0.15M Native Plant Ordinance Related Activities (WC25B), demonstration garden, education, etc.
$0.10M Encinitas Habitat Stewardship Program (WC11A)
$0.06M Orpheus/Paul Ecke Central Bike Project, new project (CS25C).
While workshop discussions focus on General Fund appropriations for the new fiscal year, it is important to
note that the City's Capital Improvement Program budget is not limited to the above projects. The CIP budget
includes multiple restricted funding sources, like gas tax and impact fees, that contribute to capital and multi-
year work projects. Also, the FY 2024-25 budget only shows new amounts to be added to projects. Many
projects have unspent available budget carried forward from prior years, representing funding that is still
committed to the project.

Operating Budget
2024-25 Strategic Planning Framework
An effective budget process establishes broad goals
to guide government decision making. Each year, the
City Council reviews its priorities for the year at its
annual Council Retreat. A Council priority is defined
as a topic that will receive significant attention and
budget consideration during the year. Typically,
priorities have a one to three-year time limit, although
some may continue beyond that time.
On Tuesday, February 6, 2024, the City Council
selected the following focus areas to include as the
categories for its highest priorities:
Effective City Services & Reliable Infrastructure
Housing & Affordability
Engagement & Education
Ensuring & Preserving Community Character
Environmental Health & Leadership
Mobility & Alternate Modes
Council Goals
100% affordable housing (choose site, define project, explore funding options)
Prioritize remaining streetscape elements (complete C, Stormwater, B, A South)
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 12 of 48

Build on the bike safety emergency declaration goals and implement Vision Zero
Public Involvement
The budget process also should incorporate a long-term perspective and promote effective communication
with stakeholders.
On November 16, 2022, City Council directed staff to proceed with the formation of a one-year community
task force to evaluate the City’s infrastructure (roads, bridges, facilities, etc.) backlog, prioritization, and
anticipated financial needs and opportunities for funding for future infrastructure. The Infrastructure Task Force
(ITF) was comprised of seven members of the community, by appointment of the City Council, from a variety
of backgrounds, with interest and expertise in Capital Infrastructure Projects. This group advised City Council
and worked with the City Engineer and City staff to meet the goals and objectives of the Task Force. The work
of the ITF has concluded, and the Final Report was presented to City Council on February 28, 2024. At that
meeting, Council approved outreach and ballot writing services for a potential one-cent local sales tax
measure. No additional revenues are projected in the FY 2024-25 budget, given the unknowns of whether City
Council will place the measure on the November 2024 ballot and whether voters will decide to implement the
tax.
During a special City Council meeting on March 20, 2024, Q3 Consulting presented their Leucadia Area
Watershed Drainage Feasibility Study which was completed in December 2022. The study modeled existing
flooding in three subareas and provided the recommendations to address a 100-year storm.
Budget Workshops, offering opportunities for the public to provide input on budget priorities, were held at a
special City Council meetings on March 27 and April 17, 2024. During the workshops, staff presented the five-
year financial forecast for the General Fund, and Council provided direction on the City's Capital Improvement
Program including prioritization, timelines and project funding.
On May 15, 2024, staff will introduce the proposed FY 2024-25 operating budget and CIP for review, public
input, and Council direction.
On June 12, 2024, staff will recommend adoption of the proposed operating and CIP budgets via Resolution.

Capital Outlay - Vehicle Replacement Program
No increases to the number of vehicles in the City fleet are proposed. Scheduled replacements are included in
the operating budget.
Separate internal service funds purchase and own all City vehicles. Holding periods are set by category of
vehicle, typically three to five years. Replacements require disposal and do not increase the size of the fleet.
Increases in vehicle count are approved by Council.
Budgets are an estimate of the amount expected to replace vehicles. By approving the list, City
Council authorizes the replacement of those vehicles in the next year. Actual purchase of the vehicles is
subject to the assessment of the Fleet Maintenance Division and the Public Works Director's approval.

Encinitas monitors and improves City infrastructure including roads, sidewalks, drainage systems, trails, and
parks. City Projects are prioritized in strategies laid out by Council's Strategic Planning Framework. While
most capital projects are managed by the Engineering Department, the CIP plan also includes facilities, parks
and beach projects, and multi-year studies (work projects) managed by other departments.
The proposed plan through FY 2028-29 contains $57.9 million in capital improvement/work projects over the
next five years. Of the five-year total, $13.4 million is programmed for FY 2024-25. The proposed FY 2024-25
capital budget includes $3.9 million from the General Fund, with all other funds totaling $9.5 million.
Funding for projects is provided by existing fund balance, future projected cash flows, and loan proceeds.
Projects shown in future years are programmed into the CIP plan and are not funded until each subsequent
budget adoption.
Each year the CIP and Traffic Engineering teams execute a Work Plan based on funded projects. For updates
and information about ongoing projects visit the City Projects & Initiatives page. A list of current CIP Projects
by Status is available on the City's website.

All City Funds
The FY 2024-25 budget across all City funds includes estimated revenues of $135.1 million, a decrease of
$1.9 million, or 1.4 percent under the projected FY 2023-24 Revised Budget. With an increase of $6.4 million
estimated for the General Fund, the overall decrease is primarily due to $7.1 million in one-time capital grant
funding and $2.0 million fire apparatus lease revenue received in FY 2023-24.
The top five revenue generating funds include:
General Fund. The City's largest and most
discretionary fund accounts for 80 percent of the
City's total revenue and is primarily funded by
property and sales tax.
1.
Infrastructure Improvement Fund. This major
fund receives revenue from intergovernmental
sources like grants and gas taxes, along with the
20 percent share of the City's transient
occupancy tax that is restricted to the Coastal
Zone Management sub-fund.
2.
Cardiff Sanitary Division. Receives revenue
from charges for services paid by wastewater
customers. Rate studies drive amounts and
forecasts.
3.
Internal Service Funds. These non-major funds
account for goods and services provided by one
department or agency to others on a cost
reimbursement basis. The Self-Insurance sub-
fund receives the majority of revenue, based on
a cost-allocation plan.
4.
Encinitas Sanitary Division. Receives revenue
from charges for services paid by wastewater
customers. Rate studies drive amounts and
forecasts.

General Fund
Estimated General Fund revenues total $107.5 million—an increase of $6.4 million, or 6.3 percent, over the
current FY 2023-24 Revised Budget. The City forecasts solid revenue growth in FY 2024-25 mostly due to
high property values and a rebound in tourism.

Discussion of Revenue Sources
Nearly 87 percent of General Fund revenue is generated from taxes. Property tax and sales tax are the major
sources. Charges for services, transient occupancy tax, and franchise tax/fees make up the remainder of the
top five categories. Excise tax for cannabis retail sales is a new source added in FY 2023-24.
For budgeting purposes, sources that contribute to
more than ten percent of General Fund revenue are
considered major sources. The City contracts with
specialized consultants to assist with revenue
management, analysis, and forecasting for the two
major sources of property tax and Sales, Use and
Transactions (SUT) tax.
Sources falling below the ten percent threshold are
analyzed and managed in-house. One exception is
short-term rental transient occupancy tax, where the
City contracts with a service that monitors permit and
tax remittance compliance.

Property Tax (Major)
Property Tax is the City’s largest revenue source, representing 62 percent of total General Fund revenue.
Proposed Budget
For FY 2024-25, staff recommends an increase of $4.0 million, or 6.3 percent, based on projections provided
by the City’s property tax consultant HdL Coren & Cone with further analysis by staff.
The increase is mostly the result of the annual Proposition 13 inflation adjustment for estimated real property
values set at the two percent maximum for FY 2024-25 by the County Assessor’s office (based on the
California Consumer Price Index, or CCPI).
Real estate trends for calendar year 2023 influence FY 2024-25 property taxes. In general, homes are still
selling and for more than their current taxed value. Calendar year 2023 saw a continuation of the downturn in
the real estate cycle that began in late spring 2022 when interest rate increases were implemented to slow the
rate of inflation. As interest rates increased between 2022 and 2023, markets saw fewer single-family
residential home sales, due in part to insufficient supply as homeowners with lower interest rates were
reluctant to give up existing homes to search for others with higher prices and higher mortgage rates. (Source:
HdL Property Tax Newsletter, Sept 2023.)
Projections reflect continued growth, although at a more modest pace due to lower sales activity that will affect
the assessed value increases from transfers of ownership. Lower sales volume also results in lower
Documentary Transfer Tax.
Description
Property Taxes are an ad valorem tax imposed on
real property (land and permanently attached
improvements such as buildings) and tangible
personal property (movable property) located within
the state.
California property tax is based on the value of the
property rather than on a fixed amount or benefit to
the property or persons.
Proposition 13 (Article XIIIA of the California
Constitution) limits the real property tax rate to one
percent of the property's assessed value.
The property tax is paid to the county tax collector
and allocated to local taxing agencies—cities,
counties, special districts, and school districts—
pursuant to a statutory allocation formula. As shown
in the chart to the right, the Encinitas General Fund
receives 24 cents of each property tax dollar.
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 30 of 48
Historical Data
Residential real estate values drive over 87 percent
of the City's current $21.9 billion net taxable
assessed valuation.
Net taxable value for Tax Year 2023-24 increased
$1.3 billion, or 6.1 percent over the prior year. The
Vehicle License Fee Adjustment Amount (VLFAA)
revenue also increases annually in proportion to the
growth in gross assessed valuation in a jurisdiction.
Over the past 20 years, the City has experienced
positive assessed valuation growth each year,
resulting in steady property tax revenue growth. Ten
years of Assessed Value-Based Revenue by
Component is shown in the chart below:
Relevant Economic Conditions
Statewide, 2023 was a tough year as a shortage of
homes for sale and high costs of borrowing
continued to have a negative impact on housing
inventory and demand. With mortgage rates
expected to decline in the next 12 months, home
sales should bounce back as buyers and sellers
return to a more favorable housing market. Home
prices should see a moderate increase in 2024 as
well.
The median sale price of Encinitas detached single-
family homes from January through December 2023
was $1.9 million, a decrease of $27,500, or 1.4
percent from 2022's median sale price. Sales through
March 31, 2024 show the median price increasing to
$2.1 million, marking the first quarter that the median
price has exceeded $2.0 million. In the graph below,
2024 reflects January sales only.

2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 31 of 48
Sales Tax (Major)
Sales Tax is the City’s second largest source, representing 16 percent of total General Fund revenue.
Proposed Budget
Staff recommends an increase of $0.8 million, or 4.9 percent, in sales and use tax, based on projections
provided by the City’s sales tax consultant HdL with further analysis by staff. Because third quarter
adjustments reduced estimated sales tax $1.0 million, the proposed budget is actually lower than the original
FY 2023-24 budget.
Estimates for FY 2024-25 are projected to be relatively flat based on mixed economic pressures. Volatile
economic indicators such as the Federal Funds rate, unemployment levels, and discretionary spending
continue to influence outcomes. For example, in the statewide auto and transportation sector, inventory levels
improved for many dealers creating a downward pressure on prices. Although higher interest rates and tighter
credit standards continue to make loan financing challenging, leasing activity has improved.
In Encinitas, recent sales activity has shown consumers shifting their discretionary spending away from
tangible goods towards leisure, travel, services, entertainment, and restaurant expenditures. Additionally, food
and drug sales decreased in recent quarters as consumers redirected their spending from alcohol purchases
for home consumption to dining out. While business and recreational travel is expected remain strong, it is
unknown whether residents and visitors will continue to enjoy casual and quick-service dining, with higher
menu prices likely to result from implementation of AB 1228, a new State law raising the hourly minimum
wage rate to $20 for certain fast food workers effective April 1, 2024.
Cities in San Diego County continue to see a reduction in the county use tax pool (where tax on internet sales
is recorded and shared proportionally) as e-commerce allocations shift to distribution centers.
Sales tax projections do not include additional taxes paid by cannabis businesses, which are considered
excise tax. They also do not include a potential one-cent local sales tax measure discussed in the
Infrastructure Tax Force final report presented to City Council on February 28, 2024. It is still unknown whether
City Council will place the measure on the November 2024 ballot and whether voters will decide to implement
the tax.
Description
Sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the purchase price of goods and is collected by the seller. The City
receives one percent of the total 7.75 percent sales tax rate for sales that occur within the City’s jurisdiction.
The City has a diversified retail sales tax base and is not heavily dependent on any one business or industry.
Historical Data
The following 13 year agency trend chart, compiled by HdL and adjusted for economic data, shows tax
revenue for sales that occurred through December of each calendar year. While major industry groups and
total annual revenue (green line) fluctuate over time, the general trend (grey line) is toward a steady increase
in revenue. (Source: HdL Companies 2023 CY Trends, April 2024)
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 32 of 48
Relevant Economic Conditions
As 2024 unfolds, many of the same economic conditions remain in play statewide, with varying effects on the
overall outlook. A primary focus is monitoring the Federal Reserve to gauge when interest rates will recede.
Monthly unemployment trends and inflation results will determine how swiftly and significantly borrowing costs
decrease.
Results from the final quarter of 2023 (October - December sales) confirmed a shift in consumer behavior, with
people opting for essential household items over more expensive purchases. With the exception of
Business/Industry and Restaurants/Hotels, all other major industry groups saw negative comparisons to the
fourth quarter of 2022. Consumer debt has soared while personal savings dwindle, suggesting only modest
gains in the coming fiscal year.
At the national level, US Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at an annual rate of 3.2 percent in 4Q
2023, driven by increases in consumer spending, exports, and local and state government expenditures.
Despite a decline in confidence, consumer spending rose a solid 2.6 percent, inflation adjusted, over the past
year. Top categories for spending growth include recreational vehicles and goods (12 percent), new cars (4
percent), restaurants and hotels (4 percent) and recreational services (4 percent).
The US should experience a reasonable pace of GDP growth in 2024, led by solid growth in consumer
demand. Labor markets will remain tight, industrial production will be steady, and long run interest rates will
likely stay in the same range. In many ways 2024 will resemble 2023 with a steady, moderately expanding
economy. Strong consumer demand suggests inflation will be running hotter than the 2 percent pace that the
Federal Reserve hopes to achieve. (Source: HdL Companies Consensus Forecast April 2024.)

Other Sources of Revenue
Charges for Services
Charges for Services is the third largest source, representing ten percent of General Fund revenue.
Staff estimates an increase of $0.7 million, or 6.6 percent in Charges for Services. Projections assume $0.5
million in new arts program revenue at the Pacific View Arts Center scheduled to open in FY 2024-25.
Estimates also reflect CPI adjustments to development (permitting) fees expected to be effective July 1, 2024.
Charges for Services is a voluntary charge imposed on an individual for a service or facility provided directly to
that individual. A fee may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the particular service or
facility for which the fee is charged, plus overhead. Revenues include recreation program enrollment, along
with planning, building, and engineering fees related to residential and commercial development. These
revenues are forecasted on the basis of recent receipts and staff’s knowledge of current trends.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
TOT is the fourth largest source, representing five percent of total General Fund revenue.
Staff estimates an increase of $0.4 million or 7.4 percent for General Fund TOT, based on analysis of activity
since FY 2021-22. Revenues for both hotel and short-term vacation rentals are expected to increase as
bookings continue to rebound following the COVID-19 pandemic. Proactive enforcement on unpermitted short
term rental sites, which began in FY 2022-23, is projected to generate recurring TOT and rental permit
revenue.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a tax imposed on persons staying 30 days or less in a lodging
establishment. The tax is collected for both hotel and short-term vacation rentals at a rate of ten percent of the
rent charged by the operator. Eight percent of the rent goes to the General Fund, and two percent is restricted
to beach sand replenishment and stabilization projects in the Coastal Zone Management Fund (212). These
revenues are forecasted on the basis of recent receipts and staff’s knowledge of current trends.
Franchise Tax/Fees
Franchise Fees are the fifth largest source, representing two percent of total General Fund revenue.
Staff estimates a decrease of $0.03 million, or 1.3 percent, in Franchise Fees. Cable and video franchise
revenue is expected to continue to remain relatively flat due to limited growth in new subscribers. Gas and
electric franchise revenue is projected to decrease slightly due to decreased consumption related to recent
rate increases and customers’ ongoing transition to solar energy.
Franchise revenue is generated from public utility sources, trash collection franchises and telecommunication
franchises conducting business within the City limits. These revenues are forecasted on the basis of recent
receipts and staff’s knowledge of current trends.
A solid waste franchise fee is collected from EDCO for the exclusive right to collect and process commercial
and residential solid waste, recyclable, and green waste. These fees are used to help repair wear and tear on
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 34 of 48
roads caused by trash trucks driving on City streets and to help fund street sweeping services. On May 12,
2021, Council approved a franchise fee increase—from the existing five percent to ten percent of gross
revenues from Encinitas ratepayers—to be effective June 1, 2021. Revenues related to the 5 percent solid
waste fee are budgeted and received directly in the Solid Waste Fund.
Excise Tax
Staff estimates an increase of $0.5 million, or 200 percent, in retail cannabis tax. The current FY 2023-24 is
the first year that included new cannabis revenue, estimated at $0.25 million for one site, which opened in
February 2024. Projections assume that all four retail locations will commence operations in 2024. Projected
revenues are modest because it is unknown when retail sites will open and how much they will receive in
sales. The City has not yet received applications for non-retail uses.
This new revenue source is a result of the voter-initiated “Measure H” approved on November 3, 2020. City
Council approved Ordinance No. 2020-18 adding Chapter 9.25 to the Encinitas Municipal Code allowing
certain cannabis-related uses and activities in specified zones. Measure H also requires that the City allow
four retail cannabis businesses to operate in the City.
On November 8, 2022, the voters approved the City-sponsored ballot measure known as the City of Encinitas
Cannabis Business Tax Measure (“Measure L”) allowing the City to adopt ordinances to impose a Cannabis
Business Tax. On April 12, 2023, staff introduced Ordinance 2023-03 which imposes a gross receipts tax on
all cannabis businesses operating within the City. Council approved the ordinance along with Resolution 2023-
21 setting Cannabis Business Tax rates at seven percent of gross receipts for retail cannabis businesses; four
percent of gross receipts for non-retail cannabis businesses; and ten dollars per square footage of canopy
area for commercial cultivation of cannabis and/or hemp.
Licenses and Permits
Staff estimates an increase of $0.08 million, or 27.5 percent, in Licenses and Permits. Proactive enforcement
on unpermitted short term rental sites, which began in FY 2022-23, is projected to generate recurring TOT and
rental permit revenue.
Licenses and Permits are collected on business operation permits, business registration, short term rental
permits, security alarm permits and other miscellaneous permits. These revenues are forecasted based on the
basis of actual receipts in recent years.
Intergovernmental
Staff estimates a increase of $0.1 million, or 16.9 percent, in Intergovernmental Revenue. Intergovernmental
revenue largely consists of the Cooperative Agreement for Fire Management Services with the Cities of Del
Mar and Solana Beach.
Intergovernmental includes revenue from other governmental agencies, principally the state and federal
governments. These revenues include general or categorical support monies called subventions, as well as
grants for specific projects and reimbursements for the costs of some state mandates. These revenues are
projected on the basis of the City’s current cost sharing agreements as well as anticipated reimbursements of
state mandated costs and excess vehicle license fees collected by the State.
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 35 of 48
Fines and Penalties
Staff estimates an increase of $0.01 million, or 2.8 percent, in Fines and Penalties. This assumes a slight
increase in adminstrative citations resulting from increased code enforcement efforts.
Fines and Penalties include collections for vehicle code and red‐light violations, parking citations and vehicle
abatement. These revenues are forecasted on the basis of recent receipts and staff’s knowledge of current
trends. In April 2022, City Council passed Ordinance 2022-05 allowing the City to utilize a private enforcement
company in addition to the Sheriff and City staff.
Use of Money and Property
Staff estimates a increase of $0.01 million, or 1.0 percent, in Use of Money and Property primarily due to an
anticipated increase in investment earnings.
Use of Money and Property is generated by rental/insurance payments for use of city property, investment
earnings, and revenue from the sale of city property. These revenues are forecasted on the basis of recent
receipts and staff’s knowledge of current trends.
Other Revenue
Other Revenue includes interfund revenue, booking fees, cost recovery and other miscellaneous revenue.
Revenue in this category remains constant except for the unanticipated one‐time reimbursements from the
State for firefighter strike team deployments. Staff budgets conservatively, as fire conditions and deployments
vary year-to-year, then adjusts cost recovery revenue and overtime at mid-year. This category also includes
excess net revenue payment from the Encinitas Ranch Golf Authority.
Other Financing Source/Uses
This category is used to account for proceeds of long-term debt, subscriptions, and capital leases. Activity
relates to financial statement presentation and typically is not budgeted. Examples include: the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases issued in June 2017 and Statement No. 96,
Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements issued in May 2020.
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 36 of 48
Assumptions for Estimates
Forecasts utilizing assumptions based on financial policies and economic trends help determine if the City will
have sufficient resources to meet the requirements of ongoing, planned, or mandated programs. Forecasting
provides an estimate of the financial flexibility of the City, as well as insight into tax, revenues and service
options the Council must address.
The City's general approach to forecasting is to apply a conservative philosophy that does not overstate
revenue nor understate expenditures. This approach:
Underestimates revenues and builds in a layer of contingencies for expenditures. While this might make it
harder to balance the budget, it reduces the risk of an actual shortfall.
Assumes that revenues will be adjusted at midyear when more information about economic trends and
actual receipts are available. As a result, the Revised budget tends to be more aligned with actual
revenues than the Original budget.
The methodology used for forecasting reflects a combination of internal analysis and locally generated
consensus forecasts covering such factors as population growth, retail sales, and inflation.
For proposed revenue estimates, the City evaluates prior year actual collections and projects current fiscal
year ending fund balance based on prior year trend analysis along with current information provided by
relevant sources.
For the remaining years of the revenue forecast, consensus forecasts—such as the US Bureau of Economic
Analysis, University of San Diego Burnham‐Moores Center for Real Estate, and property and sales tax
consultants—are used to outline expected trends in key economic and demographic indicators. Typically,
these forecasts cover the nation or the state, so adjustments to reflect unique local conditions are sometimes
necessary.
In general, sources are matched with the economic and demographic variables that most directly affect year‐
to‐year changes in those revenues. For example, sales tax revenue will reflect consensus forecasts related to
taxable sales growth; whereas, building permits and plan review revenue will be tied to the expected trends in
development.
It is recognized that economic forecasting is not an exact science and at times relies upon professional
judgment. To reduce the risks of miscalculation, as many factors as possible are used to identify what may
contribute to changes. Budget monitoring and amendments also provide opportunities to adjust revenues and
expenditures throughout the year.

All City Funds
The FY 2024-25 budget for all funds proposes operating expenditures of $131.8 million, an increase of $0.6
million, or 0.4 percent, over the current FY 2023-24 Revised Budget.
The operating budget maintains current levels of service while meeting debt, pension, and contractual
obligations. It also includes funding for the following new programs discussed during the current Fiscal Year
2023-24:
$777K second HOPE team ($335K start up with $442K ongoing)
$200K Homeless Solutions Coordinator, new 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) position added at midyear
$650K Pacific View Arts Center operations, part-time personnel, maintenance, equipment, supplies for new
facility and programs, and
$347K debt service for new 2024 Bond (Land Purchase).
At the second budget workshop on April 17, 2024, City Council added $98,500 for:
$50K On-call drainage consulting (Q3) in Engineering capital projects division
$40K Additional funding for visitor center and local business promotion (Chamber of Commerce) in
economic development
$8.5K Heritage Tree Lighting (Encinitas Historical Society) in recreation programs, holiday parade.
General Fund
The FY 2024-25 budget for the General Fund
includes operating expenditures of $100.0 million, an
increase of 1.6 million, or 1.6 percent over the current
FY 2023-24 Revised Budget. When adjusted for the
one-time $6.3 million land purchase in FY 2023-24,
the increase is $7.7 million, or 8.5 percent.
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating
fund. It accounts for basic services—such as public
safety, public works, development services,
engineering, park and street maintenance, code
enforcement—along with the administrative services
required to support them.

Discussion of Expense Types
Personnel
Personnel represents 52.6 percent of the FY 2024-25 General Fund operating expenditure budget.
Staff proposes an increase of $5.5 million, or 11.8 percent over the current FY 2023-24. The proposed budget
honors negotiated labor contracts and meets CalPERS pension obligations for current Memoranda of
Understanding (MOUs):
Encinitas Firefighters Association (EFFA) expires December 31, 2025
Service Employees’ International Union (SEIU) expires June 30, 2027, and
Encinitas Battalion Chiefs Association (IAFF) expires June 30, 2027.
No increases to the number of City employees are proposed. Scheduled advancements and reclassifications
needed to support enhanced services and continuity of operations are included in the FY 2024-25 personnel
budget. The City’s FY 2023-24 full-time equivalent (FTE) employee count totaled 249.40 FTE, after addiing a
new Homeless Services Coordinator position on February 28, 2024.
Examples of personnel costs include salaries, benefits, uniforms, and training for permanent employees and
temporary (contract) staff.
Contracts and Services
Contracts and Services represent 44.9 percent of the General Fund expenditure budget.
Staff proposes an increase of $2.7 million, or 6.4 percent, over current FY 2023-24. The proposed Contracts
and Services budget includes contracted increases and inflationary adjustments.
The $19.2 million law enforcement agreement with the San Diego County Sheriff is the City’s largest contract,
representing 43 percent of the Contracts and Services category and 19 percent of the General Fund operating
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 39 of 48
expenditure budget. A contracted 3.5 percent increase is included in the proposed budget. A second HOPE
team was added added in the proposed budget.
Starting in FY 2024-25, $0.5 million in General Fund payments to the Fleet Maintenance Fund (621) are
budgeted as Other Interfund Transactions, which are considered Contracts and Services, instead of Internal
Cost Allocation. The change is intended to provide consistency with how other funds account for fleet
maintenance services.
The City contracts for services in many areas including law enforcement, building plan check, engineering
inspections, miscellaneous planning review, animal services, emergency dispatch, recreation program
instruction, and maintenance of parks, beaches, trails, trees, streets, and facilities. Expenditures also
represent a wide array of charges, like audit services and travel, along with contracts with outside agencies.
Materials and Supplies
Materials and Supplies represent 2.2 percent of General Fund operating expenditures.
For FY 2024-25, staff proposes an decrease of $0.03 million, or 1.3 percent, in Materials and Supplies. This
includes inflationary increases along with a slight decrease in one-time Pacific View start up costs budgeted in
the current FY 2023-24.
This category includes consumable items costing less than $5,000 with an estimated life of less than two
years. Items include office supplies, parts, sign materials, etc.
Internal Cost Allocation
Staff is proposing a $0.5 million, or 100% decrease in Internal Cost Allocation, and a related increase in
Contracts and Services.
Starting in FY 2024-25, General Fund payments to the Fleet Maintenance Fund (621) are budgeted as Other
Interfund Transactions, which are considered Contracts and Services, instead of Internal Cost Allocation. The
change is intended to provide consistency with how other funds account for fleet maintenance services.
Cost allocation plans are used to calculate the cost of support services provided by City administrative
departments to other City funds and programs, including business-type activities such as water and
wastewater operations. The General Fund, Fleet Maintenance Fund, Risk Management Fund, Fleet
Replacement Fund, and Wastewater Support Fund provide support services to other funds or programs. The
most recent cost allocation plan includes the General Fund (601) and Fleet Maintenance (621), while the other
three funds are calculated in-house. While the City does not charge other General Fund departments during
budget or year-end adjustment processes, calculated charges to Development Services, Engineering, and
Fire Prevention are utilized in calculating the cost of providing services to the public and determining
appropriate fee levels for various types of development applications.
Capital Outlay
For FY 2024-25, staff proposes a decrease of $6.1 million, or 98.5 percent, in Capital Outlay, primarily due to
the one-time $6.3 million land purchase budgeted in the current FY 2023-24.
2024-05-15 Item #10C Page 40 of 48
This category includes all purchases in excess of $5,000 of a capital nature. Vehicles and heavy equipment
are excellent examples of normal expenditures in this category. This category represents one-time General
Fund expenditures and varies year-to-year based on the need for new machinery and equipment.
Debt / Finance
For FY 2024-25, staff proposes a decrease of $1,896, or 0.9 percent, in Debt/Finance.
The Debt/Finance category typically remains flat year-to-year with amounts tied to an amortization schedule
for the City's share of Regional Communications System infrastructure. Costs represent payments toward
principal and interest.
