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. All Funds The proposed operating budget reflects a total City budget of $135.1 million in revenue that funds $131.9 million in expenses. FY 2024-25 capital and work project appropriations total $13.6 million. The CIP plan through FY 2028-29 programs $58.0 million in capital improvement and work projects over the next five years. Of this, the General Fund is planned to contribute $11.4 million, or 20 percent of total funding. General Fund The General Fund operating budget is $107.5 million in revenue that funds $100.1 million in expenditures. Debt service transfers total $5.5 million, and General Fund transfers to capital improvement and work projects total $4.1 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 $0.6 million on June 30, 2025. Changes Made After Budget Introduction At the Budget Introduction on May 15, 2024, City Council directed two changes to the proposed budget. Operating Budget 1. Allocate $50,000 for the Fire Station #6 assistance to identify a permanent location and to determine appropriate equipment including a type 1 Fire Engine. The proposed operating budget includes a one-time $0.05 million increase in Fire Operations contracts and services. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) / Work Projects 2. Allocate $150,000 towards the development of a simplified Native Plant Ordinance (Revised Project Scope) with the use of a consultant. The proposed capital budget includes a one-time $0.15 million increase for a new Native Plant Ordinance - Revised Scope (WC25C) work project. 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 2 of 87 Transfers The operating budget also includes a $0.15 million increase General Fund capital transfers-out and the related transfer-in to the Capital/Work Project fund (402) to fund the new Native Plant Ordinance - Revised Scope (WC25C) work project. Fund Balance At the Budget Introduction on May 15, 2024, the unassigned General Fund balance was projected to be $0.8 million at the end of the current FY 2023-24 and proposed FY 2024-25. City Council’s direction to increase expenditures $0.2 million reduces the projected General Fund unassigned ending fund balance to $0.6 million. BACKGROUND: The City of Encinitas fiscal year starts July 1 and ends June 30. Fiscal Year 2025 is displayed as FY 2024-25 because it crosses calendar years. Legal Authorization A public agency may not spend public funds without legal authorization from the governing body. The budget is a financial plan that estimates revenues and appropriates expenditures in specified amounts for various purposes. Because current fiscal year appropriations lapse on June 30, City Council must approve the operating budget to authorize spending authority prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1, 2024. This report proposes the final FY 2024-25 operating and capital budgets for adoption on June 12, 2024. Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) 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. This report proposes the FY 2024-25 appropriations limit for adoption on June 12, 2024. Position Titles and Pay Ranges The City is required by CalPERS to maintain an approved, publicly available pay schedule that identifies all positions and salary ranges. This is accomplished by adopting a resolution approving position titles and pay ranges annually. This report proposes FY 2024-25 position titles and pay ranges for adoption on June 12, 2024, to be effective July 1, 2024. Long-Range Financial Planning The operating budget includes the proposed revenue and expenditure plan for each department over the next fiscal year. The five-year financial plan and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a long-term plan developed to demonstrate fiscal sustainability and to plan for the construction and replacement of infrastructure and other capital assets. Strategic Planning Framework Each year, the City Council reviews its priorities for the year at its annual City Council Retreat. A City 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 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 3 of 87  Ensuring & Preserving Community Character  Environmental Health & Leadership  Mobility & Alternate Modes. City 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 Focus area descriptions, accomplishments, and retreat materials are available on the City website: https://www.encinitasca.gov/government/annual-reports/2024-25-strategic-planning-framework 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 transactions and use (sales) tax measure. No additional revenues were projected in the FY 2024-25 budget introduction, given the unknowns of 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 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 and project funding. On May 15, 2024, staff introduced the proposed FY 2024-25 operating budget and CIP for review, public input, and City Council direction. Staff has incorporated two changes directed by City Council into the operating and capital budgets proposed for adoption. On May 22, 2024, City Council approved Resolution 2024-60 ordering the submission to the qualified electors of the City of a ballot measure relating to a one-cent per dollar transactions and use (sales) tax, requesting that the San Diego Board of Supervisors authorize the County of San 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 4 of 87 Diego Registrar of Voters to render specified services to the City of Encinitas relating to the conduct of the election, and directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis. No additional revenues are projected in the FY 2024-25 budget proposed for adoption, given the unknowns of whether voters will decide to implement the tax. On June 12, 2024, this report recommends adoption of the proposed operating and capital 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. Budget Adoption Proposed Resolution 2024-65 (Attachment 1) establishes the FY 2024-25 Operating and Capital Improvement Program budget appropriations and authorizes the related expenditures in accordance with the ordinances and policies of the City of Encinitas. Operating Budget The operating and capital improvement program budgets proposed for adoption reflect direction City Council provided at the Special budget workshop meetings and the Budget Introduction. Related presentations and agenda items are available on the City website: https://www.encinitasca.gov/government/departments/finance/city-budgets The Fund Balance Analysis (Attachment 1 Exhibit A) for all funds 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 Projected Budgetary Fund Balance (Attachment 1 Exhibit B) includes the audited General Fund balance for the prior fiscal year ended 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 FY 2024-25 operating and capital budget as proposed, the unassigned General Fund balance is projected at $0.6 million on June 30, 2025. The General Fund Summary of Revenue, Expenditures, and Transfers (Attachment 1 Exhibit C) shows prior year actuals, current year budget, and the proposed budget. Interfund operating and debt service transfers are also detailed here. Internal Service Funds – Vehicle Replacement Program (Attachment 1 Exhibit D) authorizes Public Works to purchase the specified replacement vehicles, without further action of the City Council, per the Vehicle Usage and Replacement Program Administrative Policy (F017) approved January 2001 by the City Council. Any purchases that are not included in the original budget listed here (additions, early replacements, transfers, etc.), require the approval of City Council. Although fire apparatus replacement expenses totaling $3.5 million are included in the proposed budget, potential lease revenue is not budgeted until financing is requested and approved by City Council. No increases to the number of vehicles in the City fleet are proposed. 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 5 of 87 Capital Budget The Five-Year Capital Improvement Program - FY 2024-25 through FY 2028-29 Plan has been updated based on direction City Council provided at the Special budget workshop meetings and the Budget Introduction. Proposed capital and work project funding is presented by project type (Attachment 1 Exhibit E) and funding source (Attachment 1 Exhibit F). The proposed capital budget appropriates funds for FY 2024-25 only. Projects shown in future years are programmed into the CIP plan and are not funded until each subsequent budget adoption. These schedules reflect the list of projects presented to City Council during the Budget Introduction, along with the one-time $0.15 million increase in for Native Plant Ordinance - Revised Scope (WC25C) work project added on May 15, 2024. For specific project funding directed by City Council in FY 2024-25 budget meetings, see the following pages: Title Project Attach 1E By Type Attach 1F By Fund Amount ADA Curb Ramp CS16C Page 1 Page 1 $ 50,000 ECR/Santa Fe Protected Intersection *new project CS25B Page 1 Page 1 800,000 Encinitas Habitat Stewardship Program WC11A Page 2 Page 1 100,000 General Mobility Improvements CS18E Page 1 Page 1 300,000 N101 Drainage Improvements *extend design to Grandview CD23A Page 1 Page 1 1,800,000 Native Plant Demo Garden & Education *new project WC25B Page 2 Page 1 150,000 Native Plant Ordinance *new project WC25C Page 2 Page 1 150,000 Orpheus/Paul Ecke Central Bike Project *new project CS25C Page 1 Page 1 60,000 Safe Routes to School CS01E Page 1 Page 1 200,000 Schedule of Annual Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) Proposed Resolution No. 2024-66 (Attachment 2 Exhibit A) calculates the FY 2024-25 appropriations limit at $152,864,456 and demonstrates that the City’s appropriations subject to limitation are well below the approved appropriations limit. Prior to each fiscal year, City Council is required to adopt by resolution the Appropriations Limit (otherwise known as the Gann Limit) for the upcoming fiscal year. The appropriation limitation imposed by Proposition 4 and modified by Proposition 111 creates a restriction on the amount of revenue which can be appropriated in any fiscal year. The revenues which are subject to the limitation are those considered “proceeds of taxes.” The basis for calculating the limit began in fiscal year 1978-79 and is adjusted annually based on population and inflation growth factors. During any fiscal year, the city may not appropriate any proceeds of taxes it receives in excess of its established limit. 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 6 of 87 Commencing with the state’s 2021-22 fiscal year, Government Code section 7903 requires local governments to include specified state subventions — unrestricted money received by a local agency from the state — within local appropriations limits when capacity exists. If including the full value of subventions would cause a local government to exceed local appropriations limits, the State will count those amounts at the state level instead. The California Department of Finance allocated $0.7 million of subventions to the City of Encinitas for FY 2024-25. The full value has been included in Proceeds of Taxes used to determine the City’s appropriations subject to limitation. Position Titles and Pay Ranges The City is required by CalPERS to maintain an approved, publicly available pay schedule that identifies all positions and salary ranges. Proposed Resolution No. 2024-67 (Attachment 3) identifies all position titles and pay ranges for the City of Encinitas for FY 2024-25. 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). No increases to the number of City employees are proposed. Other Engineering CIP Projects by Status (Attachment 4) provides additional information regarding completed phases and funding needs for priority projects managed by the Engineering Department. Excerpts from the draft online budget book (Attachment 5) provide additional information on the proposed operating and capital budgets. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

The proposed capital budget includes a one-time $0.15 million increase for a new Native Plant Ordinance - Revised Scope (WC25C) work project. 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.

Many projects have unspent available budget carried forward from prior years, representing funding that is still committed to the project. Available project budget totals are reported in mid-year budget status and year-end reports. Community Profile Elected Officials The City is governed by a City Council consisting of a mayor and four council members under the Council- Manager form of government. The City Council acts as the Board of Directors for the San Dieguito Water District, the Encinitas Housing Authority, and the Encinitas Public Financing Authority. Attachment 5A 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 41 of 87 About Encinitas The City of Encinitas was incorporated in October 1986 as a general law city, bringing together the communities of New and Old Encinitas, Cardiff-by- the-Sea, Leucadia, and Olivenhain. Encinitas is located in northern San Diego County approximately 25 miles north of downtown San Diego on the Southern California coast. The City with an estimated population of 61,000 covers approximately 21 square miles and is predominately residential with two major commercial corridors. Demographics From January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2024 the population decreased 0.37 percent in Encinitas and increased 0.07 percent in San Diego County. The population has remained relatively stable over the last ten years, with a dip occurring in 2009 during the Great Recession. Source: State Department of Finance Population Estimates (E-1) California's per capita personal income increased 3.62 percent over the prior FY 2022-23. Source: State Department of Finance The median household income in Encinitas has grown steady over the last 20 years. The 2020 dip was due to the COVID pandemic as many businesses were temporarily closed. Source: 2020 Census.gov via Datacommons.org The median age has increased slightly over the last ten years.

Each year, the City Council reviews its priorities for the year at its annual City Council Retreat. A City 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 City 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 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 transactions and use (sales) tax measure. No additional revenues are projected in the FY 2024-25 budget, given the unknowns Attachment 5A 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 43 of 87 of whether City Council would place the measure on the November 2024 ballot and whether voters would 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 introduced the proposed FY 2024-25 operating budget and CIP for review, public input, and City Council direction. Staff has incorporated two changes directed by City Council into the operating and capital budgets proposed for adoption. On May 22, 2024, City Council approved Resolution 2024-60 ordering the submission to the qualified electors of the City of a ballot measure relating to a one-cent per dollar transactions and use (sales) tax, requesting that the San Diego Board of Supervisors authorize the County of San Diego Registrar of Voters to render specified services to the City of Encinitas relating to the conduct of the election, and directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis. This measure would be included on the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election Ballot. On June 12, 2024, staff recommended adoption of the proposed operating and capital budgets via resolution.

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.

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 was 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. Attachment 5C 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 56 of 87 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. Attachment 5C 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 57 of 87 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. (Source: HdL Coren & Cone 2023-2024 Property Tax Reports, March 2024) Attachment 5C 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 58 of 87 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) Attachment 5C 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 59 of 87 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.) Attachment 5C 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 60 of 87 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 Attachment 5C 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 61 of 87 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. Attachment 5C 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 62 of 87 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. Transactions and Use Tax (Local Sales Tax) On February 28, 2024, City Council approved outreach and possible ballot writing services for a potential one- cent local tax measure. On May 22, 2024, City Council approved Resolution 2024-60 ordering the submission to the qualified electors of the City of a ballot measure relating to a one-cent per dollar transactions and use (sales) tax, requesting that the San Diego Board of Supervisors authorize the County of San Diego Registrar of Voters to render specified services to the City of Encinitas relating to the conduct of the election, and directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis. No additional revenues are projected in the FY 2024-25 budget, given the unknowns of whether voters will decide to implement the tax. Attachment 5C 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 63 of 87 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. Placeholder for blank page Powered by OpenGov Attachment 5C 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 64 of 87 All City Funds The FY 2024-25 budget for all funds proposes operating expenditures of $131.9 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 0.5 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 enhancements 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. At the budget introduction on May 15, 2024, City Council directed staff to allocate $50,000 for the Fire Station #6 assistance to identify a permanent location and to determine appropriate equipment including a type 1 Fire Engine. The operating budget includes a one-time $0.05 million increase in Fire Operations contracts and services. Separate internal service funds purchase and own all City vehicles. Vehicle Replacement Program details are provided in the Public Works Departmental Summary. Expenditures Attachment 5D 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 65 of 87 General Fund The FY 2024-25 budget for the General Fund includes operating expenditures of $100.1 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 $7.9 million, or 8.6 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.

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. Attachment 5D 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 66 of 87 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 $2.8 million, or 6.6 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 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 $0.5 million 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. Attachment 5D 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 67 of 87 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. 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. Powered by OpenGov Attachment 5D 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 68 of 87 Approach Accounting standards require items to be recorded in separate funds. For reporting purposes, interfund activity is eliminated from government-wide financial statements. However, there is little guidance on how to eliminate double-counting from entity-wide consolidated budget totals. Without careful consideration of the treatment of interfund activity within the budget, the casual user may misunderstand the size of the budget or scale of the interfund activity. Double-counting occurs for a variety of reasons: interfund transfers, internal service funds, and at times when enterprise funds provide services to the government unit as a part of their customer base. Accounting decisions to record revenue in one fund and then transfer it to another fund for spending should not show a total economic activity that doubles the correct number. (Source: GFOA Best Practices for Accurately Displaying Total Expenditures in Budget Presentations). To ensure that entity-wide budget totals reflect real economic activity and that material double-counting does not occur, the City of Encinitas does not include interfund transfers in revenue and expense discussions. Instead, transfers are discussed separately in aggregate. In general: Revenue, expenses, and transfers are included in the analysis of fund balance, in order to assess the impact of all economic activity on the ending fund balance. Transfers-out of one fund typically are offset by transfers-in to a different fund, resulting in a net $0 impact on the overall budget. In some instances, transfers are used to communicate assumptions and plan resources, resulting in a favorable or unfavorable impact to a specific fund. Internal cost allocation amounts are not budgeted or recorded as transfers. Instead, these amounts are entered as interfund revenue and internal cost allocation expenses. Discussion of Transfers and Contributions Transfers Operating transfers typically include transfers from the Gas Tax fund to the General Fund for street maintenance, along with transfers from Fire Mitigation and Community Facilities funds, which is then applied to debt service. Operating transfers from the General Fund include contributions to the Self-Insurance, Facility Maintenance, Senior Nutrition, and Vehicle, Equipment and Apparatus Replacement funds. Expenses are recorded in the appropriate governmental, enterprise, or internal service funds. Transfers Attachment 5E 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 69 of 87 Capital transfers out are used to track funding for specific capital and work projects. When the project is complete, available budget is transferred back to the funding source as a capital transfer-in. This category also tracks staff's assumption that three to four percent of the personnel budget typically is unspent due to vacancies, and can be used on capital projects. Transfers-in and project expenditures are recorded in the Capital Projects funds. Other transfers can be used in situations where transfers are required, which do not fit within operating, capital, or debt categories. Debt transfers record transfers between funds needed for debt service payments. Expenses are recorded in the Debt Service funds. Contributions Some contributions (pass-through payments) related to federal programs, residential rehabilitation, and housing programs have been grouped in the Transfers-Out category for budgeting purposes. This differs from the ACFR which includes them in expenses by function. Contributions are included Development Services budget, in the following funds: Grants and Housing (222-Community Development Block Grant), and Affordable Housing (551-Section 8 Administration and 552-Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments).

Details of interfund operating transfers are also provided. FY 2024-25 operating transfers include a $0.1 million decrease in transfers to the Senior Nutrition Fund (222) and a $0.08 million decrease in transfers to the Technology Operations Fund (631) because FY 2024-25 program expenditures have been budgeted directly in the General Fund. Significant decreases in capital transfers are primarily due to one-time $20 million in IBank loan proceeds for Leucadia Streetscape construction (CS23D) budgeted in the current FY 2023-24. Attachment 5E 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 71 of 87 Overview Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that all governments prepare and maintain a long-term financial plan that projects revenues, expenses, financial position, and external factors for all key funds and government operations at least five years into the future. Governments that utilize debt financing and/or utility rate setting should consider a long-term financial plan greater than five years. The plan should be reviewed on an annual basis and updated as needed or as major assumptions change. The operating budget includes the proposed revenue and expenditure plan for each department over the next fiscal year. The five-year financial plan and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a long-term plan developed to demonstrate fiscal sustainability and to plan for the construction and replacement of infrastructure and other capital assets. The City’s long‐range financial plan is maintained for major funds to include assumptions for revenue sources and operating expenditures over a 15‐year period. The plan is maintained and updated throughout the year as amendments are made or as new revenue sources or programs are known. The Director of Finance updates the General Fund forecast before the budget is drafted. This is used as a guide as to ensure that revenues are sufficient to meet expenditure needs. Expenditures for future years include known contract increases and factor for inflation. The plan also ensures that the City’s important financial policies, such as reserves, and Council’s strategic goals are met. Budget Assumptions The City’s revenue and expenditure budgets are comprised of many unique elements that respond to a variety of external factors such as population growth, development, inflation, and interest rates. The following table reflects the assumptions applied for projecting key revenue sources and expenditure uses. Long-Range Operating Financial Plans Attachment 5F 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 72 of 87 Vehicle Replacement Program Separate internal service funds purchase and own all City vehicles. The operating budget includes an estimate of the amount expected for replacements scheduled in the next year. 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. Unscheduled purchases that are not included in the original budget (additions, early replacements, transfers, etc.), require the approval of City Council. While fire apparatus replacement expenses are included in the proposed budget, potential lease revenue is not budgeted until financing is requested and approved by City Council. FY 2024-25 Vehicle Replacement Program details are provided in the Public Works Departmental Summary. Capital Improvement Program Long-term financial planning should be the starting point for capital planning, developing operating budgets, estimating revenue, and other planning processes. The long‐range financial plan includes planned capital project appropriations over the next five years. It allows the City to ensure that future capital projects meet the City Council’s strategic goals. The plan identifies funding for future projects and the impact to the operating budget once a project is completed. Attachment 5F 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 73 of 87 As projects are identified, departments complete project sheets like the example below, which help Finance program the capital budget and project operating costs. Best Practices Beyond the annual budget cycle and multi-year capital plan, governments need to identify long-term financial trends. Long-term financial planning involves projecting revenues, expenses, and key factors that have a financial impact on the organization. Understanding long-term trends and potential risk factors that may impact overall financial sustainability allows the finance officer to proactively address these issues. Going through a long-term financial planning process allows decision makers to focus on long-term objectives, encourages strategic thinking, and promotes overall awareness for financial literacy in an organization. Long-term financial planning creates commitment and motivation to provide a guide for decision-making. Long-term financial planning relates to strategic planning, developing financial policies, capital improvement planning, and budgeting, but it is inherently different, as shown in the table below. Each process fulfills a different combination of planning purposes. As such, long-term financial planning is most valuable when Attachment 5F 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 74 of 87 accompanied by these other planning processes and often communicated together. (Source: GFOA Best Practices Long-Term Financial Planning) Powered by OpenGov Attachment 5F 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 75 of 87 Overview The City uses three Capital Projects Funds to monitor capital improvements projects for governmental activities, including roads, sidewalks, drainage systems, trails, and parks. Separate enterprise funds track sanitary district and housing authority projects. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a comprehensive five-year financing, budgeting, and planning tool for large, non-recurring projects with a dollar threshold of $100,000 and a useful life of five years or more. The CIP is generally used to construct and maintain infrastructure or other assets. Projects typically include public facilities, acquisition of parkland and park improvements, infrastructure, and certain City “work projects” such as multi-year consultant studies. City Projects are prioritized in strategies laid out by Council's 2024-25 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. Funding for projects is provided by existing fund balance, future projected cash flows, and loan proceeds. While staff forecasts capital expenditures out five years, City Council appropriates funding only one year at a time. Unlike the operating budget, capital projects have assigned budget amounts that are not tied to a single fiscal year. The completion of these projects can take multiple years, with budget remaining on the project until it is expended or closed and returned to the funding source. Budget development discussions and adoption include both operating and capital budget appropriations. The CIP plan and project details are published in a separate document. Each year the CIP and Traffic Engineering teams execute a Work Plan based on funded projects. For information about ongoing projects visit the City Projects & Initiatives page on the City website, which features current projects, includes a list of CIP Projects by Status, and Capital Projects Grant Funding Status. At fiscal year end, the City uses a dollar threshold of $100,000 and a useful life of five years or more in its evaluation for capitalizing expenditures. Eligible project costs are additions to construction in progress at fiscal year end. Costs for completed projects are recorded as additions to the appropriate capital asset category at year end.

Capital Program Attachment 5G 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 76 of 87 Five-Year CIP Plan The CIP plan through FY 2028-29 programs $58.0 million in capital improvement and work projects over the next five years. Of this, the General Fund is planned to contribute $11.4 million, or 20 percent of total funding. Of the five-year total, $13.6 million is programmed in the FY 2024-25 capital budget. This includes $4.1 million from the General Fund, with all other funds totaling $9.5 million. Resolution 2024-65 Exhibit 1E presents the CIP Plan by Project Type Resolution 2024-65 Exhibit 1F presents the CIP Plan by Funding Source. The capital budget appropriates funds for FY 2024- 25 only. Projects shown in future years are programmed into the Capital Improvement Program plan and are not funded until each subsequent budget adoption. Capital and Work Projects - Detail Prior to budget workshops, staff included $0.54 million for the following mandated or restricted items in the FY 2024-25 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).

The Attachment 5G 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 77 of 87 proposed capital budget includes a one-time $0.15 million increase for a new Native Plant Ordinance - Revised Scope (WC25C) work project. 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. The FY 2024-25 budget only shows new appropriations to be added to existing or new projects. Many projects have unspent available budget carried forward from prior years, representing funding that is still committed to the project. Available project budget totals are reported in mid-year budget status and year-end audit reports. This chart displays FY 2024-25 capital appropriations by project type. Process The City recognizes the importance of capital improvement strategic planning and budgeting in order to maintain and improve the City’s infrastructure. The City updates and re-adopts annually a five-year Capital Improvement Program that includes the annual capital improvement budget for the current fiscal year and future projections of capital improvement needs. The plan presented six-years when the City was on a two-year budget cycle. In FY 2023-24, the CIP plan returned to a five-year view to coincide with the shift from two-year to annual operating budgets. CIP Development Development of the CIP budget begins earlier than that of the operating budget. After June 30 ending balances are determined in the fall, departments review project status, available carryforward budget, and community needs. The budget process considers project City Council priorities and funding availability. Potential appropriations for the new fiscal year are determined through a collaborative process with recommendations from staff and input from the City Council and community. For each proposed capital project, staff prepares project sheets that summarize identify costs, funding sources, and ongoing maintenance costs. Prioritization City Council Strategic Planning Framework Attachment 5G 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 78 of 87 Each year, the City Council reviews priorities for the year at its annual City Council Retreat. A City 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 February 6, 2024, City Council selected focus areas for the 2024-25 Strategic Planning Framework, along with the following City 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 Infrastructure Task Force (February 2023 - February 2024) On November 16, 2022, City Council approved the creation of a new seven-member Infrastructure Task Force (ITF) which met bi-monthly from February 2023 through February 2024, culminating in a final report with recommendations and presentation to the City Council on February 28, 2024 with the following draft mission and overarching goals: The work of the task force informed the preparation of the FY 2024-25 budget. Additional information is available on the City website: https://www.encinitasca.gov/government/boards-commissions/infrastructure- task-force Maintenance The City emphasizes preventive maintenance as a cost-effective approach to infrastructure maintenance. Exhausted capital goods will be replaced as necessary. Ongoing maintenance and operation costs are budgeted in the operating budget. Appropriations for capital projects are approved only after ongoing maintenance and operational funds have been identified and designated to the project. Funding Many funds, including the General Fund, contribute funding to the capital plan. Restricted funding sources are to be used before less-restrictive sources when appropriating and expending funds. Time-sensitive funding sources are appropriated before funding sources with no time restrictions. General Fund capacity is discussed in budget workshops because it is the most discretionary funding source. Staff also actively pursues opportunities for grant funding of projects. Applications are to be made only after a grant is evaluated for consistency with Council goals and compatibility with City programs. Grant funding Identify the City’s capital improvement backlog and future needs for the 2025 to 2035 timeframe.1. Define criteria and clarify processes for identifying and prioritizing future CIP needs, projects, and funding opportunities. 2. Ensure that the CIP program and prioritization is linked to the City’s policies, strategic plan, and planning priorities. 3. Ensure transparency in communications about infrastructure needs, challenges, and the work of the ITF.4. Make recommendations regarding funding the City’s infrastructure backlog at the conclusion of the task force work. 5. Attachment 5G 2024-06-12 Item #08Q Page 79 of 87 received after a project has been entirely funded will replace the least restrictive funding source. When possible, capital improvement and work projects will be financed with available revenues. However the most appropriate financing structure is determined for each on an individual basis after examining all relevant factors of the project. Capital projects financed through the issuance of bonds will be financed for a period not to exceed the expected useful life of the project.

On April 15, 2024, Standard & Poor's (S&P) Rating Services affirmed its AAA issuer credit rating for the City of Encinitas. According to S&P, the AAA rating reflects the City's: Very strong economy, with access to a broad and diverse metropolitan statistical area; Very strong management, with strong financial policies and practices under S&P's Financial Management Assessment methodology; Strong budgetary performance; Very strong budgetary flexibility; Very strong liquidity; and Very stong debt and contingent liability profile. S&P issued a credit rating of AA+ on the City's 2024 Lease Revenue bonds, which is the highest rating available for these types of bonds. Ratings for lease revenue bond issues are typically one notch lower than the issuer credit rating due to the payment structure of the bond issue.
