CONSIDERATION OF MID YEAR BUDGET REPORT
MARCH 27,2012
PAGE 2
Provide a link between the City budget, the financial records, and the independent
financial audit.
Compare current revenues and expenditures against the prior fiscal year
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The total Citywide Fund balance reported at June 30, 201 1 was $33,192,189. This is a
decrease of approximately $825,000 compared to June 30, 201 0.
The total General Fund balance reported at June 30, 201 1 was $3,116,689, which was a
decrease of $1 18,195 from the prior year and was 21 % of General Fund expenditures at
year-end. The audited Fund Balances reported in the Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) have been incorporated into the beginning fund balances on Schedule A.
There is one adjustment to the beginning fund balances that is different from the CAFR.
The adjustment was to subtract the Fixed Asset balance of $10,069,527 from the Water
Fund in order to reflect a more accurate cash fund balance.
The current projected available General Fund Balance for June 30, 2012 is $2,692,408, a
decrease of $194,797 from the projected fund balance of $2,887,205 published in the FY
2011-12 Budget. This fund balance is projected to be 20% of appropriations, which is
above the City Council fund balance goal of 15%. The decrease in the projected fund
balance is due to higher than expected expenditures in the prior year.
As part of the Mid Year process, staff is asked to review their current budgets and
determine if any adjustments are required. General Fund recommendations result in the
following: a net decrease in appropriations of $30,250; an increase of $60,329 in transfers
in and a net decrease of $58,900 in revenue.
Additional decreases in appropriations are requested in the Landscape Maintenance
Fund ($loo), Parkside Assessment Fund ($400), Sewer Fund ($25,400) and the Water
Fund ($11,200). An increase in appropriations is requested in the Lopez Fund ($22,000).
Detailed descriptions of these requests are included in the Mid-Year Report and shown
on Schedule A.

key issues in progress is presented as a separate section at the end of this report. Each
departmentldivision reports the work accomplished during the first half of the fiscal year
toward an improved City government. Also reported is the progress toward those ongoing
projects/work efforts that will continue into the remaining quarters.

1. Approve Schedule A included in the Mid Year Budget Report;
2. Do not approve recommended budget adjustments and propose reductions to balance
the budget and/or increase General Fund reserve;
3. Provide direction to staff.

Mid-Year Budget Report - 2011/2012 March 27,2012
Overview
The City's Mid-Year Report is prepared to compare the revenues and expenditures occurring during the first six months
of the fiscal year against budgeted amounts to determine appropriate adjustments; to report on departmental
accomplishments; to provide llnks between the City budget, the financial records, and the independent financial audit;
and to compare revenues earned and expenses made during the first six months of the 2011-12 Fiscal Year against the FY
2010-11 figures. This information is provided in the following format:
Schedule A: The starting point is the audited 2010-11 Fiscal Year ending fund balances, which is also the beginning
Unreserved Fund Balances for the 2011-12 Fiscal Year. Combining the beginrung Unreserved Fund Balances with
the estimated revenues, transfers, and appropriations adopted in the Annual Budget and the ISt Quarter report,
provides the estimated fund balances.
As a result of a comprehensive review, adjustments are recommended where actual receipts and disbursements are
materially different from the budgeted amounts. Although budget adjustments are recommended across several City
funds, the emphasis of the Mid-Year Budget Report continues to be directed at the General Fund. The General Fund is
deemed to be the most critical as it provides most services commonly associated with government (public safety,
recreation, parks, building, and planning) and is limited primarily by tax-generated revenues.
Summary of Key Points
The total Citywide Fund Balance reported at June 30, 2011 was $33,192,189. This is a decrease of approximately
$825,000 compared to June 30, 2010. The beginning General Fund balance is $3,116,689, which was a decrease of
$118,195 from the prior year and was 21% of General Fund expenditures at year-end. The audited Fund Balances
reported in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) have been incorporated into the beginning fund
balances on Schedule A. There is one adjustment to the beginning fund balances that is different from the CAFR. The
adjustment was to subtract the Fixed Asset balance of $10,069,527 from the Water Fund in order to reflect a more
accurate cash fund balance.

id-Year Budget ~ebort - 2011/2012 March 27,2012
The City Council has established an Undesignated General Fund Balance goal of 20°/o of annual appropriation with a
minimum goal of 15%. The City's Undesignated General Fund Balance represents the available resources to provide
funding for future contingencies such as earthquakes, civil unrest, economic fluctuations, major infrastructure repairs
and investment in capital for improved productivity and efficiencies. Inadequate reserves increase financial risk,
negatively impact cash flow, and reduce the City's ability to attract and sustain economic development and growth
within the City of Arroyo Grande.
The current projected available General Fund Balance for June 30, 2012 is $2,692,408, a decrease of $194,797 from the
projected fund balance of $2,887,205 published in the FY 2011-12 Budget. This fund balance is projected to be 20% of
appropriations, which is above the City Council fund balance goal of 15%. The decrease in the projected fund balance is
due to higher than expected expenditures in the prior year. The projected Fund Balance assumes revenues are received
exactly as budgeted, all budget expenditures are made, and all capital transfers required by the CIP Program are
completed. Historically, the General Fund has not been required to fund all budgeted capital transfers and
expenditures at year-end are traditionally less than budgeted. The projected fund balance will also likely be impacted
by expenses transferred from the Redevelopment Agency due to its dissolution, but these amounts have not yet been
determined.
The Management Reporting System Status Report is presented as a separate section at the end of this report. Tlus
provides a summary of what individual departments have accomplished during the year. Also reported are the key
issues and work efforts in progress that will continue into the remaining quarters.
Mid Year Budget Requests
As part of the mid-year process, departments are normally asked to review their current budgets and determine if any
adjustments should be proposed in tlus report. Departments have been asked to closely monitor their budgets and spend
only what is absolutely necessary. Therefore, at this time, staff is only recommending minor adjustments to the General
Fund Departmental budgets.
General Fund Expenditures:
City Clerk - The cost for cable casting meetings is being transferred from the PEG Fund to the General Fund in order
to be compliant with Federal regulations. Staff is recommending that tlus begin April ISt and is requesting $8,750 for

the last quarter of the Fiscal Year. The entire annual amount will be included in the General Fund in Fiscal Year 12-
13.
In addition, On February 14, 2012 the Council approved an increase of $25,000 for June election costs for the Police
Station bond measure. At that time it was anticipated that the State Water measure would also be on the June election
and the costs could be shared. However, the Water measure is being postponed at this time therefore an additional
$12,000 is being requested for election costs. The total will come from Sales Tax funds that are currently budgeted for
the Police Station CIP project.
City Manager - Council approved an increase of $13,000 on January 24,2012 to pay for membershp costs for the San
Luis Obispo County Economic Vitality Corporation (EVC), San Luis Obispo County Visitors' and Conference Bureau
(VCB), and Arroyo Grande Valley Chamber of Commerce.
City Council - On February 14,2012 the Council approved an increase of $5,000 for public education for the Police
Station bond measure. Tlus amount will come from Sales Tax funds that are currently budgeted for the Police Station
CIP project.
City Attorney - Staff is requesting an increase of $10,000 for Human Resource contract assistance to address
workload associated with ongoing personnel issues.
Non-Departmental - Council approved the Local Sales Tax report on November 22,2011 which included $115,000 for
Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA) funding. Th~s reduces the amount budgeted in the General Fund for the FCFA
payment by $115,000.
Community Development - Staff is requesting an appropriation of $11,000 in order to hu-e a full-time Engineer. This
appropriation would cover one month of salary and benefits for the remainder of the fiscal year, and any recruiting
costs. Staff is proposing replacing two part-time positions with the full-time position. Staff will be including an
increase of approximately $35,000 in the FY 2012-13 budget, which is the cost of the full-time position above the two
part-time positions. However, it is anticipated that this amount will be charged to capital improvement projects for
design and inspection. Therefore, there should be no net impact on the final budget.
General Fund Revenues:
Transfers (Personnel, Operating, and Cost Allocation) - When staff oripally prepared the FY 2011-12 Budget, the
transfers were based on estimates from the prior year. Staff has had time to cakulate what the actual transfer

amounts should be. The net increase in transfers is $68,921. The majority of this increase is due to moving $36,929
that the City receives for CDBG administration and code enforcement from its own revenue line item to Personnel
transfers and increasing Operating transfers by $42,000 for election costs. If these two costs were not included, actual
transfers would be decreasing by approximately $10,000.
Motor Vehicle License Fees (VLF) - A decrease of $46,000, due to the State Legislature's efforts to solve the State's
budget problems all City VLF revenues have been sued to fund law enforcement grants.
Lucia Mar Reimbursement - A decrease of $22,900 due to renegotiating the amount the School district pays towards
the School Resource Officer position. In the past the school district paid for 50% of the School Resource Officer. The
City has renegotiated this reimbursement to 40%.
Transient Occupancy Tax - Revenues are higher than originally estimated. Staff is requesting an increase of $30,000
in hs revenue source.
Telecommunication Site Leases - Staff is requesting that this revenue source be reduced by $5,000 due to
renegotiating certain site leases and lowering the monthly lease amount.
Other Funds:
Landscape Maintenance Fund:
Staff is requesting a decrease of $100 in transfers due to updating the transfer calculations.
Local Sales Tax Fund:
On November 22,2012, the City Council approved the Annual Local Sales Tax Appropriations and Allocations Report.
This report increased capital transfers by $306,500, decreased operating transfers by $5,374, and increased operating
expenses by $79,000.

the budgeted projections and not all budgeted appropriations will be spent as year-end actual expenditures are
traditionally less than budgeted amounts (i.e. FY 10-11 - $114,501 more, FY 09-10 - $1,596,673 less, FY 08-09 - $547,n7 less,

Mid-Year Budget Report - 2013J12 March 27,2012
General Fund Revenues
With half of the year complete, the total General Fund revenue is at 40%. This is below 50% for several reasons. The mid-
year revenue only includes four months of Sales Tax revenue. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue is for five months
and Franchise Fee revenue only includes four months of revenue. Finally, the first half of the triple flip amounts for sales
tax $378,020 and VLF $604,466 were not received untd January. The table shown below presents a comparison of the top
eleven revenue accounts. Due to the decrease in the Motor Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenue, staff will be replacing this
revenue source with the Sales Tax - Safety revenue source (also known as Proposition 172 revenue) in future budget
reports. Sales Tax - Safety is a one-half cent sales tax imposed by the Legislature and is to be used strictly for public safety
services. Both revenue sources are shown on tlus report for comparison purposes. Because the top revenue sources
account for approximately 72% of total General Fund revenues, changes here can have profound impacts.

City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 2011/12 March 27,2012
Sales Tax - Sales tax is higher than the prior year due to an increase in sales activity; however the budget reflects tlus
anticipated increase.
Property Tax - Property tax is showing an increase and hs is also reflected in the current year's budget.
Motor Vehicle License Fees - As mentioned earlier in this report, tlus revenue has been eliminated by the Legislature
in order to fund law enforcement grants.
Children in Motion - Th~s revenue is showing a decrease of $7,595 when compared to the prior year. However, this
decrease was anticipated and is reflected in the decreased budget.
Franchise Fees - Th~s revenue source is showing a decrease when compared with the prior year. The majority of hs
decrease is due to receiving the November Waste Connections franchise payment of $11,846 in January. This revenue
source is below 50% due to one-time payments from PG&E and So Cal Gas that are received in April. Staff will
continue to monitor this revenue source to determine if an adjustment is required once the one-time revenues are
received.
Telecommunication Site Leases - This revenue source is showing a decrease when compared to the prior year. The
reason for tlus decrease is due to timing. In the prior year, January payments of approximately $8,300 were received
in December. Tlus year, due to the holidays and mandatory furloughs; revenues that were normally received at the
end of December were not received until City Hall reopened in January. The remaining difference is due to
renegotiating certain site leases and reducing the monthly lease amounts.
Transient Occupancy Tax - Tlus revenue is showing an increase of approximately $47,000 when compared to the
prior year. Staff is requesting an increase in this line item of $30,000 and will continue to monitor this revenue source
to determine if additional increases should be requested in the 3rd Quarter.
All other variances are within normal ranges. Ag

City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 201l/l2 March 27,2012
Administrative Services - the $10,116 increase in this department is due to the retirement of the Accounting
Supervisor in July and the cost for the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) study that was prepared in November.
Both of these costs were anticipated and were reflected in the budget.
Non-Departmental - the $450,347 increase is due to the Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA) quarterly payments of
$381,083 being paid from ths department. At midyear, the City had made three quarterly payments for a total of
$1,143,249 whereas in the prior year only two quarterly payments had been made at a total of $694,245. ne reason for
the extra payment this fiscal year is that the FCFA established a separate checking account and in order to have a
consistent cash flow, all quarterly payments are made at the beginning of each quarter.
Police - The majority of this increase is due to filling existing staff vacancies and the retirement of one Commander.
Fire - The costs in the prior year for ths department includes the expenses incurred before the FCFA was formed on
July 9, 2010. The costs listed in the current year are for the City's Emergency Operating Center (EOC) which is still
administered by the FCFA.
Building and Life Safety - the majority of this decrease is due to the part-time office assistant position charging to the
Community Development department in error. This has now been corrected. In addition, contractual services
expenditures have decreased due to a decrease in building projects when compared to the prior year.
Engineering - the increase in this department is due to a decrease of staff time being charged to CIP projects in the
current year.
Recreation and Maintenance Services - the majority of tfus increase is due to an increase in building maintenance
costs.
All other variances are within a normal range.

Mid-Year Budget Report - 201l/l2 March 27,2012
OTHER FUNDS
Local Use Tax Fund (Fund 218)
Ths fund has been established to account for the 1/2 cent sales tax increase that was approved in November 2006. With
four months of sales, this revenue source is at 37%. At this time this revenue source is showing a 4% increase over the
budget. The estimated fund balance in this fund is $338,789, which is 10% of appropriations if all budgeted funds are
expended. However, staff believes the fund balance wlll remain above 15% when factoring project savings and project
delays.
Redevelopment Agency (Fund 284)
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld the validity of AB 1x26, the bill that dissolved all
Redevelopment agencies in the State. Effective February 1,2012, the City's Redevelopment Agency (RDA) ceased to exist.
At this time, it is unclear how the dissolution of the RDA will impact the City's General Fund. The City as the Successor
Agency is eligble for reimbursement of administration costs; however, the exact amount that the City will receive is
unknown at this time. In addition, the General Fund will receive additional property taxes that in the past had gone to
the RDA but again the amount is unknown. Staff will be working with the County of San Luis Obispo Auditor/
Controller's office over the next few weeks to determine these amounts. Staff will adjust the RDA and RDA Set-Aside
Funds in the 3rd Quarter report.
CIP (Capital Improvement Program) Fund (Fund 350)
The procedures of the CIP require that revenues equal expenses in this fund, which means the fund does not typically
have a fund balance at year-end. If additional expenses are encountered in completing a project, funding must be found
to match the expenses. In reverse, when additional revenues are found, the scope of the project can be expanded,
previous funding returned to other funds, or revenues returned to the source.
Sewer Fund (Fund 612)
The Sewer Fund is projected to have a fund balance of approximately $147,077 (Schedule A). Staff is requesting a
decrease of $25,400 in appropriations. The details for this appropriation are listed on page 7 of this report under Mid Year
Budget Requests.

Water Fund (Fund 640)
The Water Fund is projected to have a cash fund balance of approximately $1,489,350 at June 30, 2012. There are several
large water projects that are being funded by the Water Fund, such as the construction of Reservoir No. 6 ($339,545), El
Carnino Real rehabilitation ($413,000), Alpine Street Waterline improvements ($86,116) and the waterline upgrade on Bell
and Faeh ($250,000). In the past, staff was able to use development impact fee revenue to help offset these capital
improvement costs; however, with the reduction in development, these fees have decreased dramatically. Staff is
requesting a net decrease of $11,200 in appropriations. The details for these appropriations are listed on page 7 of this
report under Mid Year Budget Requests.
