CC - Item 5A - FY 2020-21 Mid-Year Budget Review and Adoption of Resolution No. 2021-14 Amending the FY 2020-21 Operating Budget and Related Actions E MF S � 0 9 ° ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL CIVIC PRIDE STAFF REPORT /NCORPOR„„Age TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER A UV . DATE: APRIL 13, 2021 SUBJECT: FY 2020-21 MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-14 AMENDING THE FY 2020-21 OPERATING BUDGET AND RELATED ACTIONS SUMMARY On June 9, 2020, the City Council adopted the 2020-21 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets. As reported to the City Council at its September 22,2020 meeting,the COVID- 19 Pandemic is still having a significant negative effect on many of the City's revenue sources; however, some of the City's main sources, namely Property Tax and Sales Tax are estimated to exceed budgeted numbers while certain services to the community have been curtailed decreasing operating expenses. This report summarizes the City's General Fund overall financial position for the current fiscal year through December 2020, including a discussion on revenue sources and expenditure trends. The estimates stated within are just that, estimates, and are subject to change as the current fiscal year continues. This report will also cover recommended mid-year adjustments, intra-fund transfers, and current staffing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Receive and file the Mid-Year Budget Review 2. Approve Resolution No. 2021-14, approving various budget amendments and related actions, and affirming the 5% `Special Assignment Pay — Coronavirus' pay afforded to certain positions defined herein. DISCUSSION The adopted General Fund operating budget included appropriations of $24,743,200 against revenue estimates of$21,866,200 resulting in a projected use of fund balance in the amount of $2,877,000. At the time of adoption,staff was also tasked with reducing expenditures by$414,000 to offset some of the use of fund balance. As reported in the `Expenditure' section of this report, staff estimates this savings goal will be exceeded through planned and pandemic related service reductions / alternative funding. As shown in the following chart, FY 2019-20 revenues were AGENDA ITEM 5.A City Council Meeting-Mid Year Budget Review April 13,2021 Page 2 of 9 nearly $2.1 million less than budgeted which was offset by $2.3 million less in expenditures resulting in an addition to fund balance of over$900,000. Revenue for FY 2020-21 was estimated $3.18 million less than FY 2019-20 but only $1.1 million less than actually received in that year. Appropriations were nearly equal for the two years, with FY 2020-21 completing its cycle $2.3 million below appropriations. Based on a comparison of revenue and expenditures of the two fiscal years, staff believes the anticipated deficit for FY 2020-21 will be greatly reduced or eliminated. Table 1 FY 2019-20 FY 2019-20 %Rec'd FY 2020-21 %Rec'd SUMMARY Total Final YTD Activity Thru FY 2019-20 FY 2020-21 YTD Activity Thru Budget Through Dec DEC Actuals Total Budget Through Dec DEC Revenue 25,051,321 6,357,472 25% 22,955,755 21,866,200 5,262,580 24% Approp/Exp 24,358,758 10,267,542 42% 22,042,229 24,743,200 9,300,085 38% 692,563 (3,910,069) 913,527 (2,877,000) (4,037,505) REVENUE As adopted, the City's FY 2020-21 revenue budget reflects $21.87 million in anticipated revenue. Year-end estimates, as projected by staff, reflect $21.67 million, which is only $191,500 less than the budgeted revenue amount; however, most fee related program revenue and some permit revenue is underperforming due to the continued pandemic and the final outcome of those sources is difficult to determine. The following narrative and projections, while accurate to the best of staff's present understanding, must be viewed as subject to reconsideration as second half receipts become known and pandemic conditions continue. As shown in Table 2, General Fund revenue received as of December 2020 is only 24% of the estimated revenue for FY 2020-21. This is typical due to revenue sources that are received in July and August that are accrued back to the prior fiscal year and other large revenue sources that are received on a quarterly, bi-annual, or annual basis. Actual year-end results are difficult to predict at this time; however, as reflected in Table 2, overall General Fund revenues are trending in line with the same reporting period (December) for some major categories.

Based on year-end projections,with significant losses in fee-based programs,the tax category increases to 85%of total year-end estimates and therefore,merit a more detail discussion as presented below. Overall,taxes are budgeted at$17.74 million,and(although based on preliminary information)are projected to end the fiscal year at$18.43 million,an increase of over$690,000.

Property Tax In-lieu—Based on growth in assessed value, this revenue is remitted to the City in two equal payments in the third and fourth quarter of the year. Although no revenue was received within the reporting period of this report, the first payment was received in January and indicates the year-end receipt will be$7.2 million,$104,000 over the budgeted estimate and$323,000 more than the amount received in FY 2019-20. Sales Tax—Based on projections by the City's sales tax consultant,HdL Companies,the year-end estimate is nearly $5.4 million which is an increase of$792,000 over the budgeted estimate and nearly equal to the amount received in FY 2019-20. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)—Receipts from TOT receipts have been significantly impacted by the pandemic. Revenue received in both FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19 topped$2.3 million and was budgeted to receive $2.4 million in FY 2019-20. Due to the pandemic,receipts for FY 2019- 20 fell to $1.78 million with the budgeted estimated of$1.8 million set for FY 2020-21. As the pandemic lingers, revenue in this source continues to fall and is now estimated at $1.2 million, $576,000 less than the budgeted estimate. While receipts through December show as less than $350,000, this represents only one quarter of revenue since first quarter revenue is accrued back to the prior fiscal year,each year. Based on revenue received through mid-March,the$1.2 million year-end estimate appears achievable. City Council Meeting—Mid Year Budget Review April 13,2021 Page 4 of 9 Franchise Fees—The largest contributors to this category (SCE and The Gas Co) are received in the second half of the fiscal year and are not typically impacted by pandemic conditions. The year- end estimate of$1.3 million is based on the FY 2019-20 year-end actual, current receipts, and a remittance statement for the upcoming payment. The following graph compares budget-to-budget, year-to-date through Dec, and the FY 2019-20 actuals to the FY 2020-21 year-end estimate. 7 _t IIIFY 2019-20 Budget 2 ■FY 2020-21 Budget 6 IN FY 2019-20 YTD Thru Dec �FY 2020-21 YTD Thru Dec 5 `_.. . 111 — IN FY 2019-20 Actuals u FY 2020-21 Year End Est 111 111 111 3 t 1 ■ 2 1 Property Taxes Property Tax In Sales and Use Tax Transient Occ Tax Franchise Fees Lieu/VLF The Licenses and Permits category include Business Licenses and Building Permits, Animal Licenses, and various others. The largest source in this category is Building Permits which was budgeted at $1.26 million, down from $1.8 million in FY 2019-20 and are now estimated to end the year nearer$1.4 million based on final FY 2019-20 numbers and year-to-date numbers for FY 2020-21. Business License fees were reduced to 50%as a result of the pandemic and are on target to complete the year at 50% of last year's revenue. The category has a whole, is estimated to complete the year$135,500 under the budgeted estimate. Fines and Forfeitures are on estimated to complete the year at$574,000, down from the budgeted $645,000 based on FY 2019-20 final numbers and current actuals. Use of Money and Property which consists of Interest Earnings and Rents and Royalties is estimated at $418,000, up from the budgeted $269,400 based on final FY 2019-20 numbers, against lower current investment interest rates for idle cash. Charges for Services is the category most impacted by the pandemic. Parks and Recreation revenue was budgeted at $763,300 but, at the mid-year point, has only received $39,000. In FY 2019-20, over $405,600 had been received at the same mid-year point. Based on the current City Council Meeting—Mid Year Budget Review April 13,2021 Page 5 of 9 numbers and continued pandemic, the year-end estimate has been reduced to $61,000. As the current restrictions continue to lessen,there could be an improvement in this revenue. Charges for Services in Public Works and Community Development together, are budgeted at $173,600 and are estimated to complete the year at$136,700. Overall,the Charges for Services category could see a reduction of over$700,000 by year-end. Other Revenue is a catch-all category for miscellaneous type revenue. The largest source within this category, is the reimbursement for the School Resource Officer. This service was estimated at$110,000, but with schools closed,will not be received in the current year. APPROPRIATIONS/EXPENDITURES At the halfway point of the Fiscal Year(December 31,2020),overall General Fund appropriations are only 38%expended. All categories are within an acceptable range of year-to-date expenditures in relation to the total appropriation for the year. The Utilities/Insurance/and Allocation category is 79%expended due to the required payment of annual insurance premiums in July each year.

This is due to vacancies within departments and reduction in part-time staffing in Parks and Recreation. At mid-point, salary and benefits are $785,000 less than the same period in FY 2019-20 even though budgeted higher. If the trend continues, savings in this category could near $1.0 million. Expenditures in the `Operations' category are also below the 50% level and 7% lower than the same time period last year as some costs have been reduced during the pandemic and others were covered by COVID- 19 reimbursements. The year-to-date total for Contract Police Services represents only four months of billings at the mid-year point and is less than the prior year owing to $270,000 being covered by the CARES Act and accounted for in the Grants Fund. Capital Assets were budgeted at zero, but have carryover funding from prior years to fund the current expense. Overall, at the mid-point of the Fiscal Year, expenditures are $960,000 less than the FY 2019-20 mid-point and on target to complete the year under-budget.

It is anticipated that all departments will complete the year within or under budget. The City Clerk Department is currently at 78% due to the payment of insurance premiums discussed above. Finance is well below the 50% mark due to the continued vacancy of a permanent Finance Director and an authorized 3/4 Accountant. General Services is significantly below the mid-point due to the budgeted $500,000 for contingency, for which only $72,000, for the City Council approved fee study, has been committed. As previously discussed, the Parks and Recreation Department has been the most impacted by the pandemic in terms of both lost revenue and reduced expenditures. With all activities cancelled and facilities closed, as well as,the delayed construction of the special events stage, savings have been realized in personnel, operational, and capital costs, resulting in an expense underutilization of$760,000 over the same time period one year ago.

There are no requests to amend the authorized staffing list at this time. However, the vacant Management Analyst position in Community Development has been transferred to the City Manager's office as of March 2021. The duties of CDBG monitoring have been transferred along with the position. On March 13, 2020, the City Council declared a local emergency in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Over the course of the ensuing months, various actions were taken to keep Rosemead employees and the community safe from contracting or transmitting the virus. Actions included closing City Hall and other public facilities to the public and allowing work-from-home with alternating on-site work schedules for employees. For those positions that were unable to adopt an alternate work schedule and continued in-person interaction with the public,a 5%pay incentive was provided through a `Special Assignment Pay — Coronavirus' incentive. The positions receiving the incentive are full-time Maintenance Workers, Maintenance Lead Workers, the Facilities Technician, Code Enforcement Officers, Senior Code Enforcement Officers, the Public Safety Manager and part-time Code Enforcement Officers, Parking Control Officer, Maintenance Workers, and Community Service Officers. The `Special Assignment Pay' began on March 13, 2020 and is being funded with salary savings from vacancies. Adoption of the attached resolution will reaffirm the `Special Assignment Pay—Coronavirus' compensation. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BUDGET—This report covers only the Operating budget and does not include the Capital Improvement Program budget or its carryovers. Staff is currently reviewing all current projects and carryover appropriations to ensure accuracy in reporting fund balances.
