Page 1 CITYCOUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 BUDGET UPDATE REPORT AND ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE JUNE 26,2012 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND: When the current two-year budget was adopted, a shortfall of approximately $703,000 was projected for FY 2012-13. It was agreed to address the deficit in the second year of the budget after additional information regarding revenues was obtained and staff had more time to develop additional funding strategies. Updated projections have increased the expected deficit to approximately $935,000. At the January 24, 2012 meeting, staff presented recommended strategies to address the projected shortfall, which was approved by the City Council. The proposed budget adjustments are consistent with the strategies approved. The purpose of the City's Budget Update report is to: Balance the General Fund budget. Update revenue projections when economic data becomes available. Prepare corrections to expenditures as more accurate costs become available. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: General Fund: Staff has been working diligently on addressing the deficit balance in the City's General Fund. A Budget Committee was formed, with representatives from all departments and employee unions. The Committee began meeting in January of 2012 to discuss ways to address the deficit. The following is a breakdown of the recommendations to address the projected $935,000 budget shortfall (these adjustments are explained in more detail in the attached Budget Update Report): 1 Transfer of Local Sales Tax Capital Improvement Funding 2 Use of Reserves 3 Employee Concessions 4 Require Employees to Pay Increases for Medical Benefits 5 Holding one Sergeant position vacant 6 2% reduction in operational budget 7 Increase in Soto Sports fees 8 Reduction in Five Cities Fire Authority Costs 9 Restructuring of the Recreation and Maintenance Services Department 10 Adjustments based on revised expenditure and revenue estimates Agenda Item 9.a. Page 2 CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 BUDGET UPDATE REPORT AND ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE JUNE 26,2012 PAGE 3 As directed by Council, the Administrative Services staff reviewed the Soto Sports Complex fees to determine the amount of subsidy the City is providing to youth programs. Staff prepared a detailed analysis of the Soto Sports Complex, which is attached to this report. The estimated subsidy is approximately $230,000. Staff is recommending new fees to help offset the costs of operating the Soto Sports Complex. These fees include: 1) a $2.00 per hour per field charge for all youth sports practices and games; 2) a $2.00 non-resident fee to all youth sports participants who do not live in Arroyo Grande; 3) a $5.00 per hour charge for use of the indoor concession stands; and 4) a $2.00 per hour for use of outdoor concession stands. It is expected that these fees should generate approximately $10,000 annually. However, since several of the youth sports have already begun or completed their registration the projected increase in revenue for Fiscal Year 2012-1 3 is projected to be $5,000. It should be noted that charges for field use and non-resident fees are already charged to adult sports teams. In addition, full fees are currently charged for youth sports tournaments when teams are participating that are not part of the local youth sports leagues. Staff was asked to provide information on how much would be charged to make the facility self-sufficient. The attached study shows the amount that each organization is subsidized, which would be the amount of increase for the operation to be fully funded, as well as the amount that will be paid under the proposed changes. Recreation staff met with youth sports organization representatives to review the proposal. A survey was prepared of fees charged by other jurisdictions in San Luis Obispo County, which indicated that the City would be well above most other jurisdictions if fees are set much above what are proposed. Transfer of Local Sales Tax funds and use of reserves are consistent with amounts previously approved by the City Council when strategies were reviewed. The projected year- end unappropriated fund balance will remain at approximately 17%, well above the minimum City policy goal. Savings from a reduction in Fire costs is also consistent with the strategy goals originally approved. Staff is confident the savings amount will be achievable based upon current budget deliberations by the Fire Authority Board of Directors and staff. However, final figures will not be identified until the Authority's budget is considered later this month and labor negotiations with the Firefighters' union are completed. Savings from the Recreation and Maintenance Services restructuring is below original projections due to cash out of leave from retirees. However, as a result, projected savings will increase to projected amounts next fiscal year. It currently represents the elimination of three full-time positions. Two will be consolidated into one position. The other will be replaced by a part-time position. Some of the savings was also budgeted to address recommendations of the assessment, including increases in the part-time maintenance worker hourly rate, equipment replacement, and additional training costs. Agenda Item 9.a. Page 3 CITYCOUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 BUDGET UPDATE REPORT AND ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE JUNE 26,2012 PAGE 4 The proposed reduction of a Sergeant position is a vacant position created through a recent restructuring of the Department. It was intended to oversee traffic operations, training, reserves, special events, and administrative functions. While this represents a service level reduction, staff believes it will not significantly impact field patrol operations. Amounts for employee concessions and medical plan increases represent adjustments to funds budgeted for salary and benefits in order to reach a balanced budget. Specific terms will be determined and contingent upon the meet and confer process with the City's employee unions. Increased costs include $20,000 for a labor negotiations consultant to assist with the meet and confer process. Local Sales Tax Fund: Staff is recommending the following reductions for FY 201 1-12: East Paulding Wall $ 40,000 Tree Inventory and Trimming 37,000 Engineering Studies 5,000 Le Point Street Parking Lot 60,000 Total decrease This decrease in FY 2011-12 is being proposed to be used towards the FY 2012-13 Pavement Management Program. Therefore, staff is requesting an increase of $215,000 for Pavement management projects in FY 2012-13. A new 5-Year Plan is recommended for Local Sales Tax funds, which is attached for Council consideration. The plan includes the changes recommended in FY 2012-13 to fund the proposed Pavement Management Program, as well as a minor increase for sidewalks in response to complaints received regarding the need for repairs to sidewalks on East Grand Avenue. Changes in future years include additional funding recommended for property acquisition for the Le Point Street Parking Lot, costs associated with undergrounding of utilities on East Grand Avenue, and increased funding for the Pavement Management Program. CIP Fund: The decreases listed above would also apply to the CIP Fund. Therefore, the FY 201 1-12 CIP budget will decrease by $142,000 and FY 2012-13 would increase by $215,000. Other Funds: Adjustments are being requested for several of the City's other funds. These are listed in the attached Budget Update Report. Agenda Item 9.a. Page 4 CITYCOUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 BUDGET UPDATE REPORT AND ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE JUNE 26,2012 PAGE 5 ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are provided for City Council consideration: 1. Approve the detailed budget adjustments listed in the Budget Update report, adopt a Resolution approviog the FY 2012-13 Budget, adopt a new Local Sales Tax Fund 5- Year plan, approve requests for adjustments in the Local Sales Tax Fund and the CIP Fund for FY 201 1-12, and adopt a Resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule for the Recreation Division by increasing and establishing fees related to the Soto Sports Complex; 2. Do not approve staff recommendations; 3. Modify staff recommendation and approve the schedule; 4. Provide direction to staff. ADVANTAGES: Staff conducted a review of City funds and is recommending budgetary adjustments. By approving this recommendation, the budget will be balanced in Fiscal Year 2012-13. Department staff is working on additional efficiency measures to further increase the General Fund Balance. The City continues to face financial challenges and options to address these challenges become more and more limited. The primary advantage of the recommendations is that it represents a balanced approach. Therefore, it maintains financial solvency for the City with the least impact on the City's overall services and projects. DISADVANTAGES: Based on the recommendations, departmental budgets will continue to be constrained and will present a challenge to some accounts to maintain expenses within the budgeted amounts. ENVIROMENTAL REVIEW: No environmental review is required for this item PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS: The Agenda was posted in front of City Hall on Thursday, June 21,2012. The Agenda and report were posted on the City's website on Friday, June 22, 2012. No public comments were received. 1. Budget Update Financial Report 2. Soto Sports Complex Analysis 3.

Page 11 Budget Update Financial Report For Fiscal Year 2012-1 3 June 26,2012 The City Council adopted the first year of the Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 20 1 1-1 2 and 20 12-13 in June of 201 1. At that time staff indicated that the second year of the budget was not balanced and would need to be brought back to the Council to adopt. In addition, staff expected adjustments would be needed when current economic data became available, salary and benefit changes were approved for the second year, and additional project costs that were not envisioned during the preparation of the two-year budget became available. While this report provides a listing of projected fund balances, these projections are estimates as Fiscal Year 20 1 1-12 has not been audited or closed. Because the beginning fund balance for Fiscal Year 2012-13 is the ending balance for Fiscal Year 20 1 1 - 12, accruals, deferrals, and audit adjustments may impact the projected Fiscal Year 2012-1 3 fund balance.

As stated at the beginning of this report, accruals, deferrals, and audit adjustments may make major impacts on the ending Fiscal Year 2011-2012 fund balance. Based on the budgeted revenues and expenditures (shown on the above schedule), General Fund revenues will be lower than expenditures by $190,555. However, the budget includes the use of $200,000 in reserves to cover this negative amount. The fund balance will be at 17% of appropriations. However, the projected hnd balance assumes revenues are received exactly as budgeted, all budget expenditures are made. Historically, the General Fund expenditures at year-end are traditionally less than budgeted.

Page 18 SOT0 SPORTS COMPLEX FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Introduction and Purpose of this Analysis The City of Arroyo Grande (City) is currently projecting a $900,000 deficit in the fiscal year 2012-13, due to a combination of increased healthcare and retirement costs, the elimination of the Redevelopment Agency, and a continued decrease in revenues. In response to this projection, the City created a budget committee to brainstorm ideas on how the City could reduce costs, without affecting the quality of services currently being provided. One of the recommendations the committee suggested staff look into the activities, costs, and revenues of the Soto Sports Complex (Complex) for possible savings. The Complex is located at 1275 Ash Street adjacent to Elm Street Park. The area offers five tennis courts, three little league fields, one baseball field, and three softball fields. The fields are converted for soccer and football use in the fall months. The Arroyo Grande Recreation and Maintenance Services Department, Babe Ruth, Little League, Girls Softball, Arroyo Grande High School, American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), California Youth Soccer Association, Men's and Women's Soccer, Youth Football, and the Five Cities Tennis Association regularly schedule use of the facility. The Complex is also available for general public rental. Below summarizes the estimated use of the Complex by each organization during the 2010-11 fiscal year: Total Hours of % of Total League AYSO Soccer Little League Adult Softball Youth Football Girls Softball Babe Ruth CC Condors 3rd Party Complex Rental (adult) Miscellaneous Tournaments CC Soccer (adult) Use 965 857 744 451 4 23 338 237 188 150 42 Total hours of use served by youth 3,421 Total hours of use served by adults 974 Hours 22% 19% 17% 10% 10% 8% 5% 4% 4% 1% How much is the City subsidizing the Complex? Governments generally subsidize an activity in order to promote a specific community objective. To promote youth sports, the City does not charge field rental fees for practices and league games to those organizations that service youth sports. However, the City does charge youth organizations for use of lights, field preparation and/or tournament coordinating, when applicable. It is estimated that the City subsidized the Complex approximately $168,477 and $228,525 in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal years, respectively. This report discusses in detail the revenues generated and the expenses incurred from the operations and maintenance of the Complex. Agenda Item 9.a. Page 19 SOT0 SPORTS COMPLEX FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Revenue: Charges for Service The current master fee schedule for rental of a field at the Complex is summarized below: Fee Description General Field Rental General Field Rental (w/ lights) Porter Field Rental Porter Field Rental (w/ lights) Tennis Courts Fee per hour $15 $35 $20 $40 $10 * - "General Field" includes Campbell, Pilg, Santos, Don Roberts, Volunteer, and lkeda Fields. Additional charges include: Fee Description Meeting Room Rental General Field Prep Fees Porter Field Prep Fees Tournament Coordination Fee Adult Softball League Fee Fee $20/day $20/prep $35/prep $65/event $530/team The City waives rental fees used by organizations that serve youth sports. This appears to be a similar practice with other Cities within San Luis Obispo County; however, some have different criteria for waiving or reducing fees. The City of Morro Bay uses residency as a determining factor to charge a reduced rate while Templeton Community Services District uses organizational status (i.e. non-profit) for determining lower rates. The City of Pismo Beach doesn't charge for any rental of their sports field. The schedule below compares the fees charged per hour by the City in comparison with other municipalities in San Luis Obispo County: Rental City City City City City of Templeton City Fee Description of AG of GB of SLO of MB Atascadero CSD of PR Adult $15-20 $13 $23 $5-6 $25 $20 $6 Adult w/ lights $35-40 $32 $44 $15-19 $45 $30-45 $6 Youth $0 $0 $0 $4-5 $0 $0-5 $2-3 Youth w/ lights $20 $10 $21 $15-19 $20 $30 $2-3 Field Prep Fees $20-35/ea n/a $23/ea $23-3lIea $50/day n/a n/a The total revenue generated by the activities performed at the Complex totaled $82,965 for the fiscal year 2010-11 and $85,545 for the fiscal year 2009-10. The estimated income generated by each league for the 2010-11 fiscal year is summarized on the following page: Agenda Item 9.a.

A portion of the adult softball revenues are used to cover the costs for umpires, scorekeepers, softballs, insurance, trophies, etc. The City incurred $23,580 for the 2010-11 fiscal year and $23,400 for the 2009-10 fiscal year in adult softball-related supplies and services. The City does not incur these expenses for youth sport activities, as those expenses are paid directly by the respective leagues. Expenses of the Complex The total expenses at the Complex totaled $287,910 for the 2010-11 fiscal year and $230,622 for the 2009-10 fiscal year. Summarized below is a comparison of expenses incurred by the Complex for the 2010-11 and 2009-10 fiscal years: Expense Description 2011 2010 Payroll & benefits $ 221,256 $ 172,260 General supplies & maintenance 31,079 26,287 Electricity 24,705 22,250 Vehicle maintenance &fuel 5,300 4,255 Depreciation 5,570 5,570 Total $ 287.910 $ 230.622 The City directly charges the Complex salaries and benefits for two full-time maintenance workers, one half of the recreation supervisor, and a part-time employee for the operations and maintenance (including opening and closing of the facility, turning onloff field lights) at the Complex, as well as the maintenance of the BBQ area located at Elm Street Park. There are additional City employee hours from the Parks division that handle the mowing of the lawns and the upkeep of the restrooms located at the Complex. General supplies include the required upkeep for the Complex. This includes: paint, fertilizer, light replacement, rented trench diggers, hydrant replacement, irrigation repairs, new gates, new plates and bases, tree removing, etc. Agenda Item 9.a. Page 21 SOT0 SPORTS COMPLEX FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Concluding Analvsis and Proposed Fees If the City wanted to "break-even," then the rental fees would need to be approximately $52 per hour. If the City began charging youth sports leagues this inflated rate and there were 20 participants per game, $2.60/hour would be the approximate pass-down costs to the individual. However, the City is not interested in having the program fully fund itself. City staff recommends the following changes to the master fee schedule: o Field rental fees for organizations that serve youth sports: $2 per hour o Non-residency fee for those individuals participating in youth sports at the Complex: $2 per season o Concession stand rental fee: $5 per hour o Mobile concession stand rental fee: $2 per hour Below summarizes the estimated fiscal year 2011 deficit created by each league, the estimated increase in fees if the above fee schedule is approved, as well as an updated deficit projection: League AYSO Little League Youth Football Girls Softball Babe Ruth Adult Softball CC Condors Misc Tournaments 3rd Party Rental CC Soccer Totals 2011 Estimated Deficit $ 59,818 48,965 25,978 25,595 20,167 19,707 13,720 7,102 5,999 1,474 s 228.525 Proposed Fee Increase Non- Total Rental residency Concession Fee Charges Fee Stand Fee Increase $ 1,930 $ 904 $ - $ 2,834 1,7 14 84 854 2,652 902 84 350 1,336 846 188 42 1 1,455 676 12 325 1,013 Revised Deficit $ 56,984 46,313 24,642 24,140 19,154 19,707 13,096 7,102 5,999 1,474 s 218.611 Additional Recommended Changes - City staff does not maintain an electronic calendar of activities occurring at the Complex. The estimated hours of field use was based on a combination of backing into the number of hours based on the rental revenue received and with the examination of past invoices sent to youth sports. Staff recommends the utilization of Outlook Calendar for this recordkeeping. A template event can be created so that whenever a facility is rented, that record could include who is renting the Complex, amount paid, the number of hours, if there were lights available, if field preparation fees are needed, etc. This will also allow the City to more accurately analyze the revenue generated compared to the hours of facility use. - The accounting structure for Recreation and Maintenance Department is complicated. There are thirteen revenue accounts and nine "divisions" within this department. For example, all park rental revenue gets recorded to one revenue account. This includes park rental from each City-operated park, as well as, rentals for the tennis courts and field rental at the Complex. Likewise with expenses; the "recreation-special programs" division includes expenses for adult softball, basketball, wrestling-related expenses. If the City wants to continue to analyze specific activities, then the accounting structure needs to more easily match its revenues Agenda Item 9.a. Page 22 SOT0 SPORTS COMPLEX FINANCIAL ANALYSIS and expenses. The City finance division will coordinate with the recreation division to restructure accounts in a more efficient manner. - The Parks and recreation division allows youth organizations to reserve and use the Complex prior to payment being received. Parks and recreation division (not the finance division) then bills these organizations for use of lights, field preparation fees and/or other applicable fees after-the-fact. It appears that the parks and recreation staff properly sends these organizations an invoice after an event; however, some of these organizations may still not be paying the billed amounts. Once billed, the parks and recreation division does not have proper procedures on following up with those organizations and verification of payment being received. Staff recommends that the finance division be involved with the billing process to these youth organizations. This is a routine process for the division and it also provides an additional check and balance for proper billing of these youth organizations. Agenda Item 9.a.
