Budget Preparation
In addition to the typical budget cycle, Council held a workshop on March 9, 2022 to receive public input on
the use of $8.1 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funds. On April 20, 2022,
Council approved the receipt of ARPA funding and appropriated the funds to the San Diego County Sheriff
law enforcement agreement, releasing the same amount of funding from the General Fund for general
operations.
Budget Workshops were held at a special meeting on March 23 and continued at the regular City Council
meeting on April 13, 2022. During the workshops, staff presented the six-year financial forecast for the
General Fund and Council provided direction on the City's Capital Improvement Program including
prioritization, timelines and project funding.

Budget Priorities
The City Council’s budget priorities are reflected in the Budget to address needed capital improvement
projects and critical services to the community addressing public safety, housing, green initiatives, protecting
natural resources, mobility, and connectivity. On May 11, 2022, staff introduced the proposed FY 2022-23
operating budget and CIP reflecting the priorities for review, public input, and Council direction.
On June 15, 2022, Council adopted the proposed operating and CIP budgets with Resolution 2022-66.
The Budget reflects the Council’s direction to fund the following significant programs and projects:
$20 million for future phases of the Leucadia Streetscape - approved by Council in the FY 2021-22 CIP
budget with construction bidding in FY 2022-23;
$6.5 million to renovate the Pacific View property as a cultural arts center for the community ($0.5M spent
in FY 2021-22 for design services);
$1.1 million from the General Fund for direct COVID costs;
$750K for Quiet Zone design;
$300K for extension of CycleTrack to K Street - Coast Highway 101 Separated Bike Lanes;
$250K added to the annual paving contract; and
$100K for Rancho Santa Fe Road improvements.
In addition to these much-needed CIP projects, the budget includes:
Additional funding for the Habitat Restoration Program;
Doubling the funding for the Quick Build/Mobility Program;
Additional funding for mental health and outreach services identified in the Homeless Action Plan;
An increase in funding for the landscape maintenance and clean-up contract for services along the
Coastal Rail Trail, the rail corridor along Vulcan, and Cottonwood Creek Park; and
Funding to meet the labor agreement obligations with SEIU and the firefighter employee union
associations.
Conclusion
Thank you to the Mayor and City Council for your leadership and our entire City staff for providing
outstanding service to the Encinitas community.
A budget document takes many hours of collaboration and teamwork. I would like to offer special thanks to
our Finance Department led by Director Teresa McBroome, Assistant Director Tom Gallup, Budget Manager
Kelly Sanderson, and the dedicated department budget coordinators for their hard work to complete the
budget documents.
I am also grateful to the City’s executive leadership team who worked hard to squeeze as many
projects/programs as possible out of the funds available which is a testament to their commitment to the City
organization and the community.
Respectfully submitted,
Pamela Antil

G eneral Fund
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for basic services such as public safety,
public works, planning and development, park and street maintenance, code enforcement, along with the
administrative services required to support these programs.
The FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget for the General Fund includes:
Estimated revenues of $92.3 million
Proposed operating expenditures of $82.8 million
Proposed capital expenditures of $6.9 million in the CIP budget
Projected FY 2022-23 General Fund unassigned ending fund balance of $2.1 million.
Where does the money come from?How is the money is spent?
Over 85 percent of revenue in the General Fund is
made up of three sources: property tax, sales tax,
and transient occupancy tax (TOT).
Property tax is collected by County based on the
value of real property and tangible personal
property located within the state.
Sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the
purchase price and 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.
Transient occupancy tax is imposed on persons
staying 30 days or less in a lodging
establishment. The City's TOT rate is ten percent
of the room charge and is collected by hoteliers
and paid to the City. Eighty percent of the TOT
collected is deposited to the General Fund and
20 percent is deposited to the Coastal Zone
Management Fund for sand replenishment
projects.
Additional sources such as fees and charges,
franchise taxes, fines and licenses and permits
represent the remainder of the total General Fund
revenue.
Municipalities group similar expenses by type or
category to facilitate budget presentation,
monitoring, and reporting. The top three categories
represent over 99 percent of the total General Fund
expenditures.
Personnel includes salary and benefits for both
full-time staff and temporary and seasonal staff.
Contracts and services represents a wide-array
of charges and contracts with consultants and
outside agencies. Examples include law
enforcement, park maintenance, professional
consulting (such as legal or audit services),
training, and other consulting and maintenance.
Materials and supplies budgets for consumable
items costing less than $5,000 with an estimated
useful life less than two years--like office
supplies and small parts.
Smaller categories such as internal cost
allocation, capital outlay, and debt/finance
represent the remaining percent of the total
General Fund expenditures.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
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 Plan and are managed by the
Engineering Department.
The proposed plan through FY 2026-27 contains $111.0 million in capital improvement/work projects over the
next six years. Of the six-year total, $22.5 million is programmed for FY 2022-23.
The proposed FY 2022-23 capital budget includes $6.9 million from the General Fund, with all other funds
totaling $15.6 million.
The Facilities Fund includes a total of $7.0 million in funding for the Pacific View Improvements project—
consisting of a $0.5 million appropriation for design and construction support services in FY 2021-22 plus
$6.5 million proposed for FY 2022-23.
Funding of the CIP also anticipates approval of a $20 million loan from the California Infrastructure and
Economic Development Bank (IBank) in FY 2021-22 to accommodate future phases of the Leucadia
Streetscape project. As part of the budget adoption on June 23, 2021, Council approved $20 million in
funding for Leucadia Streetscape - Future Phases for FY 2021-22, the same year the funds were
projected to become available.
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. A list of
current CIP Projects by Status is available on the City's website.
