Mayor Pro Tem Arrambide asked how much of the second floor space the Masons use. Mr. Berry stated that they only use the lodge room.

Bob West, 7820 Aragon, asked if the City has earthquake insurance on the Printery building. Mr. Cherry responded the City was unable to acquire earthquake insurance as no company will insure an unreinforced masonry building for earthquakes. Mayor Johnson closed the Public Comment period.

DISCUSSION: On January 26, 1999, Council adopted Resolution No. 1998-062 setting speeds on various streets. At that time the speed limit on Atascadero Avenue from Portola Road to Curbaril Avenue was raised from 35 MPH to 40 MPH. Engineering and Speed Surveys are conducted to determine the "critical speed", that is, the top speed at which 85% of the vehicles are traveling to establish speed limits. Once the critical speed is determined, the posted speed is generally set within 5 miles per hour of this speed, unless circumstances exists which justify further reduction. The factors considered in such a reduction are: limited design speed, limited sight distance, accident problems, substandard cross- section, poor intersection spacing, poor driveway characteristics, heavy pedestrian activity. Staff is recommending that the appropriate speed for this section of Atascadero Avenue is 35 MPH. The reason for this reduction is limited sight distance and poor driveway characteristics. This reduction also establishes a consistent speed limit from Morro Road to Portola Road. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of this action is approximately $100.00 to be paid out of currently budgeted funds. ATTACHMENTS: Draft Resolution li 2 w/ DRAFT RESOLUTION RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO ESTABLISHING A 35 MILE SPEED LIMIT ON THE PORTION OF ATASCADERO AVENUE FROM PORTOLA ROAD TO CURBARIL AVENUE WHEREAS, Section 4-2.501, et. seq, of the Atascadero Municipal Code allows the City Traffic Engineer, through an engineering and traffic survey, to determine the appropriate speed limit for streets within the City; and WHEREAS, an engineering and traffic determined that the appropriate and safe speed is 35 miles per hour (MPH) on Atascadero Avenue between Curbaril Avenue and Portola Road. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Atascadero directs the City Traffic Engineer to place and maintain appropriate signs or markings to indicate a 35 MPH speed limit in the area noted on attached Exhibit A.

DISCUSSION: Attached is a request from the San Luis Obispo Count Visitors & Conference Bureau VCB to q P Y (VCB) appoint a staff representative to their Board. The VCB has developed a Tourism Strategic Plan to focus their efforts and mission. One of the action plans was to expand the Board of Directors to include members form the funding municipalities. Staff is recommending appointment of the City Manager or his designee so that the appropriate staff person could be assigned as the issues evolve with the VCB. At times the VCB will concentrate on specific tourism items like the Zoo, Pavilion or Lake Park and the Community Services Director would represent the City. Other times it may be tourism as it relates to economic development and the Community and Economic Development Director would be the representative. The City Manager would be present when general policy issues are reviewed. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Appoint a specific staff member. This alternative was not recommended as it reduces the City's flexibility. The City is one of the smaller contributors and is not likely to have significant influence over the Board, therefore it would be desirable to send specialized staff to meetings based upon the agenda in an effort to increase Atascadero's effectiveness. 2.

These designated government positions will have full voting rights with a term length for as long as the municipality financially supports the VCB. This change is effective July 1, 2000. The VCB Board has determined that the representative should be a management level staff person responsible for economic development and/or tourism for the City of Atascadero.We would like the City Council to appoint the representative as soon as possible so that they can attend our July 26`h Board of Directors meeting. As soon as we know your representative, we will provide them with a full calendar of meeting dates and other orientation materials. In other funding news, I am excited to report that we are expecting 100% of the municipalities to participate with the VCB this year. The City of Arroyo Grande, having never funded the VCB in the past, has voted unanimously to support the Economic Strategy that includes funding the San Luis Obispo County VCB. This decision allows us to fully promote the county and all that it has to offer. We have some exciting opportunities waiting for us this year with increased partnerships and marketing tools to build greater awareness of the county as a destination. By leveraging your dollars with the county VCB, Atascadero is benefitting many times more than the initial investment. I look forward to working with the representative from the City of Atascadero who will contribute to the development and direction of tourism promotion in the county.

DISCUSSION: Attached is a draft Comprehensive Financial Strategy used to prepare the 2000-01 Annual Operating and Capital Budgets. The Strategy was initially drafted and reviewed in 1998 and representing the Council's first written financial strategy. The document has been updated and refined as additional information has become available and as the City's new financial computer system has come on line. Small foundational steps have been taken to strengthen the City's financial condition consistent with the strategy. These steps have led to a healthy organization where the City has been establishing necessary replacement and operating reserves and even funding projects that have been deferred for many years. This years budget will include funding for street repairs and some equipment purchases targeted by the Council. Staff believes that having a Comprehensive Financial Strategy was an essential first step to the recovery we are now in. As with all strategies, this draft is a work in progress ATTACHMENTS: Comprehensive Financial Strategy 039 0 r Atascadero Comprehensive Financia/ Strategy June 2000 • opo City of Atascadero Financial Strategy 2000-01 Introduction: The City of Atascadero has been rebuilding from the devastating financial conditions of the early 1990's. As an organization we understand there is no single `'fix" to our financial problems. The solution lies in many small steps and improvements throughout our organization. The responsibility to rebuild the organization is shared community wide, but as the City Council and City employees we agree to be the leaders in this effort. The robust economy has augmented the City's efforts to recover and this presents a potentially greater challenge as the organization must maintain a conservative strategy in a time of high expectations to create a sustainable future and not repeat the mistakes of the past. As with all successful businesses, we need a plan. A Comprehensive Financial Plan is one of the first steps in building a solid foundation upon which to build the future. The City first adopted a Financial Strategy in 1998 and the results of having a plan have become clear. The City has focused its resources and improved its financial condition dramatically. The Financial Plan should be both general and specific. That is to say the plan should identify actions and describe our current belief of the organizational needs. However, as we complete the studies and analysis of our organization, we are likely to uncover additional information and issues to refine our direction and efforts. The plan requires periodic updating to insure the City's financial strategy remains current and reflects the priorities of the citizenry. The first section of the plan reviews some of the major revenues for the City. Nearly 60% of the City's revenue comes from property and sales taxes. The historical and regional information regarding the revenues is presented here. The second section analyzes several operating costs and the associated reserves. The organization must retain some reserves to deal with cash flow issues, personnel, equipment, liabilities, the rainy day and others. Having a prudent plan to deal with ongoing operating costs and reserves will allow the Council and community to understand and discuss levels of risk in the City's financial operation. That is to say, do we want a reserve big enough to operate on for a year, six months, or just to cover cash flow? When do we want to be able to replace roads or buildings? The third section sets forth the City's fiscal policies. These policies guide our budget process, projects, purchases and general City business. The City has taken a variety of steps to improve the City's financial condition including formation of the Redevelopment Agency, new financial hardware and software, Strategic Planning, State Hospital annexation and employee involvement in the budgeting process. There is still much to do. As we noted, all businesses must have a plan to succeed. This plan keeps our focus toward our real mission for the future and has helped us build a new foundation. The plan is dynamic and we expect change. Improvements will occur and we invite ideas from anyone and everywhere. Our underlying belief is that through our collective knowledge and teamwork we can build a stronger financial foundation that will withstand adversity. 041 Atascadero Comprehensive Financia/ Strategy lune 2000 Section 1- Significant Revenues � 042 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 1,Page 1 Property Tax, Sales Tax and Motor Vehicle License Fees Introduction: This section reviews the City's Property and Sales Tax revenues. Property and sales taxes are the two largest revenue sources for the General Fund. Property tax has historically been local revenue. The County collects Property Tax and the City's proportionate share is distributed to the City after December of each year. In 1979, one year before the City's incorporation, California voters passed Proposition 13 limiting general property taxes to 1% of the assessed value of property. Prior to Proposition 13, property tax had been the major revenue to cities. In the early 1990's the State took away a portion of the local property taxes to balance the State budget. This had an impact on Atascadero of approximately $300,000 a year, growing annually. The State also approved legislation authorizing counties to charge cities an administrative fee for tax collection. Currently, Property Tax represents nearly 28% of the General Fund revenue. In 1998-1999 the City paid $63,570 in administrative fees to the County. Sales Tax represents 28% of the General Fund revenue. All businesses within the City of Atascadero collect 7.25% sales tax on taxable purchases and remit the tax to the State of California. The City receives 1% and the State retains 6.25%. Analysis: The graph below depicts the City's Property Tax history since 1990. The City receives 17.7% of the 1% Property Tax assessed against each property. A single-family house with a value of $250,000 would mean $442 in revenue to the City. A commercial or industrial building with a value of$5 million would mean $8,850 in revenue to the City. The cost of one Police Officer for one day is approximately $447. 3000000 2500000 2000000 A y 1 R WD �.� 1500000MA 011 M ; y , 1000000 500000 - 0 00000 0 y, I I I R . 1989- 1990- 1991- 1992- 1993- 1994- 1995- 1996- 1997- 1998- 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 Is Property Tax 1 043 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 1, Page 2 The graph below depicts the City's Sales Tax history since 1990 and a comparison between the actual Sales Tax revenue and the level of Sales Tax if it had followed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the same years. As can be seen, actual sales tax revenue is slightly ahead of the CPI increase of the same years. This may suggest that Atascadero is beginning to improve. Actual Sales Tax revenue N Est.

As can be seen, San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles are higher than the other cities. The countywide average of Sales Tax per capita is $132.19 in 1998-99. Atascadero is well behind at only $93.64 per capita, $38.55 below the county average. Paso Robles Sales Tax per capita is $177.00, that is $83.36 higher than Atascadero. The North County average (Atascadero and Paso Robles) is $135.32, still well above Atascadero. Arroyo Grande Atascadero ��, Grover Beach ; Morro Bay Paso Robles ys ,u„_. M ..

The revenue source is not protected by statute and the State has reduced the reserve in recent years. Currently, the State provides a reduced fee to the taxpayer and supplements funds to the City to make up for the loss. Conclusion: Atascadero should oppose any efforts by the State to further erode Property Tax as local revenue. The City should carefully consider the retail industry in its economic development plans. Property Tax and Sales Tax combine for nearly 60% of the City's revenues. These areas should be explored further to enhance the City's financial condition. The City should monitor the State's efforts concerning the motor vehicle license fees and oppose any attempts to reduce the cities' revenue from this source. 0.45 Atascadero Comprehensive Financia/ Strategy lune 2000 Section 2 - Operating Capita/ Costs � and Reserves Q<46 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 2, Page i Operating and Capital Costs This section analyzes some of the operating and annual costs facing the City. Staff intended to focus on the major costs to insure the community, Council and employees understood the magnitude of the costs of the City's operation. The information developed within the following pages has been verified to the extent possible. However, as more information becomes known or as experience modifies the facts or assumptions, the information will be modified. The intent is one of information; to provide general facts about significant business concerns facing the City. This information is essential to establishing a practical financial strategy. This section of the report discusses issues surrounding Building Replacement, Leave Accruals, Technology Replacement/Maintenance, Street Maintenance, Equipment Maintenance and Vehicle Replacement. The research into these areas illustrates the need for reserve funds to deal with these business costs. The following table summarizes the findings contained in the Sections. The 2000-01 Reserve Fund Strategy is the proposal contained in the draft budget. The Annual Reserve Fund Requirement is the annual need for each of the areas if the City was able to provide full funding. The Reserve Deficit is the amount of money that should have been placed in the reserve find to date.

They range from the historic Administration Building to restrooms in the parks to buildings at the wastewater plant. This section deals with the building replacement responsibilities of the City and analyzes the current inventory of buildings, the life expectancy and replacement. Analysis: Each building was reviewed to determine original cost, age and condition of structure, and remaining life. This has been a difficult analysis. Little information exists about the buildings and because of the City's financial problems, needed maintenance in many areas was not completed. If the maintenance was completed even at this time, it may improve the life of the facility and the information outlined in this section. We used a simple 30-year amortization of the original cost for most buildings. This assumption does not mean each building would be replaced in 30 years, but those funds would be available to extend the building life until its useful life had expired. The City owns some buildings that do not follow industry standards or pose significant problems to calculating useful life. The City Administration Building is perhaps the best example. The building could not be replaced in today's dollars. Even setting aside the historical significance of the structure, the detail and workmanship present in the building could only be replaced at extremely great cost. The State Capitol was a project similar in nature, and while that project was much larger, it would take a similar effort to replace the City Hall. Therefore it is difficult to develop costs. Staff has considered the building cost using several different approaches: ❑ Consider the approximate value of the building ($9,400,000) and amortize it over an extended life expectancy (50 years). ❑ Create a value of annual maintenance that would insure the building would be useful for an extended period of time and include specific expenses such as earthquake retrofit. ❑ Value the building consistent with typical public building construction and closely monitor the reserves for potential problems. ❑ Identify a financial goal that should be set aside for a building reserve and calculate an annual amortization schedule to achieve that goal. All of this information is used to develop the annual building costs to be charged to each department and necessary reserve balances. No funds have been set aside for building reserves. Staff has estimated the Accumulated Reserve Deficit by determining the amount of the life of the building that should have already been placed into reserve. In addition, we have calculated the amount that should annually be placed into a reserve account to fund major repairs and replacements necessary to maintain the building and to fund the building's replacement at the end of its useful life. The current and annual reserve liability for building replacement is as follows: 048 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 2, Page 3 City Department Accumulated Reserve Estimated Annual Deficit 06/30/00 Reserve Administration $5,009,300 $200,000 Fire 425,600 28,050 Parks 106,450 11,020 Pavilion 441,600 57,680 Police 459,200 45,920 Recreation(Printery) 735,900 43,330 Streets 103,300 4,830 Wastewater 0 90,000 Zoo 511,850 26,890 TOTAL $7,793,200 $507,720 Conclusion: It is the City's goal to fully fund building replacement, however, the City did not fund building replacement prior to July 1, 1998, except in the wastewater account. Therefore, there is a substantial liability currently existing for all City fiends. Staff began charging a building occupancy fee to all enterprise fiends and to use a building occupancy factor in creating an overhead rate. As the general fund financial condition improves, each department will annually contribute its proportionate share to a building replacement reserve. In 2000-01 the City will begin finding the reserve with $150,000 in addition to the current year improvements. This issue will be revisited annually. As the City can take more aggressive steps to fund the reserve, the strategy will be modified. 049 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financia( Strategy Section 2, Pale 4 Leave Accruals Introduction• The City of Atascadero has a full-time equivalent staff of 107 employees that accrue paid leave time. Leave includes vacation, holiday, compensation time earned (CTE), furlough, administrative leave and sick leave. This section deals with the leave accrual balances and how they translate into non-funded liabilities for the City. Analysis: Once accrued, vacation and CTE become a liability to the City, as they must be paid in full to the employee upon separation. Holiday, furlough, administrative leave and sick leave are treated differently, depending on the negotiated terms of the bargaining unit for each classification. Currently, most employees in a classification on the full-time salary schedule, accrues a floating holiday as of January 1 S` annually. This is a "use it or lose it" benefit. If it is not used within the calendar year that it accrues, it is zeroed out. Other holiday time earned becomes the property of the employee and is accrued until it is used or the employee terminates. Generally employees that«•ork non-traditional shifts can accrue holiday time, e.g., police, fire, parks and zoo staff. Furlough and administrative leave are only paid out as cash to an employee if they leave employment. Those hours accrue on a fiscal year basis and must be used within the fiscal year. All employees are eligible for sick leave incentive. Once a minimum of 48 days is accrued, the employee is eligible for a pay-off of up to one-third of unused hours for that year. This is done on an annual basis. There are currently three groups of employees that are eligible to be paid for half of their accrued sick leave hours upon separation of employment if, 1) they have five or more continuous years of service and 2) they leave employment in good standing. The figures below represent the cash liability of the total number of hours banked. The annual reserve liability as of June 30, 1999 is as follows: City Total Leave Annual Change in Department Liability Leave Liability Administration $ 36,788 <$15,661> Administrative Services 17,933 12,112 Community Development 35,434 <62,198> Community Services 149,231 19,830 Fire 396,751 24,664 Police 447,778 <1,377> Public Works 202,871 <1,213> TOTAL $1,286,786 <$23,843> Conclusion: It is the City's goal to fully fund leave liabilities. The current strategy is to book the annual increase in "current" accruals and pay for turnover cost from current operations. The City will evaluate annual strategies to reduce the liability including the repurchase of some of the time or expansion of the benefit programs. This issue will be reviewed annually and as funds permit, the strategy will be modified. 050 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 2, Page 5 Street Maintenance Introduction: City of Atascadero is responsible for maintaining approximately 140 miles of roadway. This network represents a substantial investment by the City. This section deals with the street maintenance responsibilities of the City and analyzes the current inventory of streets, the condition, the life expectancy and repair/replacement. Analysis: A field survey of City maintained roadways was performed to estimate the current condition of pavement. The survey collected and inventoried information for over 250 segments of roadway. Visual estimates were made of pavement distress in each segment. The PMSPro pavement management computer program developed by Pavement Engineers, Inc. was used to evaluate the condition of the existing pavement based on the observed levels of distress. The program uses the pavement survey data to calculate a Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) for each segment of road surveyed. The PCR is the prime determinate for selecting rehabilitation strategies and for computing rehabilitation and maintenance costs. The program uses a set of deterioration curves to adjust the PCR values from the year of the survey to the year under consideration. Roads that have a PCR above 80 will typically have a smooth ride, light cracking and would require little maintenance. Roads that have a PCR below 20 would typically have a poor ride, severe cracking or other signs of distress and would require more extensive measures for rehabilitation. The following table provides current PCR values for representative roadway segments: ROADWAY SEGMENT PCR Traffic Way ECR - Olmeda PCR 81 Santa Lucia Ardilla - San Andres 61 PCR 80 Atascadero Ave. Curbaril - Santa Rosa 41 PCR 60 San Anselmo ECR - Del Rio 21 PCR 40 Santa Ysabel Curbaril - Pueblo PCR 20 The average PCR for the City's roadway network in 1997 was 58. In order to maintain the average PCR of the City's roadway at 58, approximately $750,000 to $1,000,000 annually is required. The total amount of deferred rehabilitation in 1997 was estimated to be $23,000,000. There are a variety of approaches that can be used to rehabilitate the roadway system. Staff has been evaluating options and conducted a public study session in 1999. An action plan is being presented to Council with the 2000 Strategic Plan and a roads report will be presented to Council in July. Staff continues to investigate additional funding sources, as it is clear that the existing sources are inadequate to fund this size of a commitment. 51 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 2, Page 6 City Department Accumulated Reserve DeficitEstimated Annual Reserve Street Maintenance $21,946,400 750,000— 1,000,000 Conclusion: It is the City's goal to fully fund street rehabilitation, however, the City deferred the funding for many years and finds itself in a severe deficit position. The Public Works Department has been reinstated and a greater staff commitment will be placed on actual pavement repair as opposed to other public works duties. The City will target revenues toward streets and make an initial commitment, with a goal to expand the funding in future years incrementally. The $100,000 received by the General Fund from the Orange County settlement, will be used for street repairs. In addition, Staff will continue to investigate alternative funding for street maintenance. 052 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 2,Page 7 Technology Replacement/Maintenance Introduction: City of Atascadero owns approximately 100 computers in the various City departments. The computers and associated software make-up a technology system that is crucial to the day to day operations of the City. The system represents a total value of$452,310, including the specialized software for finance. The police system still requires upgrades. This section deals with the current technology replacement responsibilities of the City. Analysis: Each department was reviewed for the number of computers and associated software. As technology emerges so quickly, it is difficult to maintain accurate values. The City began finding replacement and maintenance reserve for technology in 1998. This evaluation assumes that the required hardware and software upgrades will continue to occur within the annual reserve set aside for technology. The City's system requires a designated reserve because the organization is dependent on the continued operation. The reserve will be developed within the replacement/maintenance budgets. The annual cost to provide for replacement and maintenance of the technology system are as follows: Annual Hardware City Department & Software Funding Required Replacement Administrative Services 17,810 10,540 City Council 450 110 City Manager 3,900 5,540 Community Development 12,410 10,970 Community Services 6,670 20,200 Fire 5,350 17,590 Police 21,640 51,350 Public Works 5,170 9,780 Technology 10,040 13,140 Treasurer 450 110 TOTAL $83,890 $139,330 Amount available for replacement 110,290 Deficit as of 6-30-00 $29,040 Conclusion: It is the City's goal to maintain a technology fund that will provide for the replacement and upgrading of technology as needed. The City began funding technology replacement in the 1998- 99 budget. This year the City will begin fully funding the technology operations and reserve. Computers will be replaced or added as needed and the City will continue to fund the entire replacement schedule. We expect that this will result in a growing reserve that will provide for future purchases and reduce the organization's risk of computer failure. r U�3 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 2,Page 8 Vehicle Replacement Introduction: City of Atascadero owns 63 vehicles in the various City departments. The rolling stock represents a total value of $2,939,250 that must be replaced as its useful life expires. This section deals with the vehicle replacement responsibilities of the City and analyzes the current fleet of vehicles, the length of service expected from those vehicles, and replacement costs necessary to keep the City current with expected operating costs. Analysis: Each department was reviewed for the number of vehicles required, the age of the vehicles and the life expectancy. That information was used to develop the estimated replacement costs of each vehicle in the City's fleet. We have determined the Accumulated Reserve Deficit by determining the amount of the life of the vehicle that should have already been placed into reserve. In addition, we have calculated the amount that should be placed into a reserve account annually to fund the vehicle's replacement at the end of its useful life. The current and annual reserve liability for vehicle replacement is as follows: City Department Accumulated Reserve Estimated Annual Reserve Community Development <$ 20,400> 6,720 Community Services <36,850> 3,800 Fire <1,073,930> 79,375 Police <279,440> 87,350 Public Works <343,780> 24,260 Transit <185,970> 35,720 Wastewater 0 21,980 TOTAL <$1,940,370> $29,205 Amount available for replacement 521,140 Ending Balance <$1,419,230> Conclusion: It is the City's goal to fully fund vehicle replacement. However, the City has not funded vehicle replacement through June 30, 1997, except in the wastewater account. Therefore, there is a substantial liability currently existing for all City funds. Staff proposes to realign the vehicles to best meet citywide needs and to continue to fund annual reserve amounts in the vehicle replacement fund. This issue will be revisited annually, as the City can take more aggressive steps to fund the reserve, the strategy will be modified. G54 Ir Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 2, Page 9 Operating and Capital / Policies Reserves Introduction: These recommendations build on the analysis contained in this section and add some additional financial concerns. The areas identified in the first section translate into necessary reserves to sustain the long-term financial strength of the community. As the basic costs of the business are realized, strategies must be developed to set aside appropriate funds to deal with the issues. Additionally, funds must be reserved for cash flow, contingencies and emergencies. This report is important, especially to an organization like Atascadero that has experienced many consecutive years of financial hardship and is in the early years of recovery. It is difficult to begin establishing reserves, let alone fund a major reserve deficit from years of not saving. Cash Flow Analysis: Staff has researched the spending patterns in the last four fiscal years. This includes a monthly review of revenue and expense patterns. The research shows the maximum cash flow need expected to be 51,500,000. The following amounts represent the maximum cash flow requirement for the years indicated: 1995 1996 1997 1998 $1,527,649 $784,139 $944,475 $1,521,890 A reserve for cash flow occurs because of the timing of the City's revenues and expenses. The City has the most cash on hand in April after it has just received its property tax revenues and wastewater fees. During the summer and fall the City does receive sales tax and motor vehicle fees, however, it is incurring more expenses for capital projects, fire reserves, recreation programs, etc. In other words, the City's receipts go down from April through November while the City's disbursements go up during the same period. C5� Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 2, Page 10 Equipment Replacement Introduction: This section is added in the 2000-01 fiscal year. City staff has completed a comprehensive inventory of equipment with a value of $1,000 or more. The equipment is essential to the operation of the City and many pieces of equipment assist in life safety. The City has not had a program of equipment replacement, although the Fire Department has had a departmental program. The strategy is to develop a listing of the equipment and work toward a program where replacement is funded annually, allowing the City to stay current with equipment. Analysis: Each department was reviewed to create a master inventory of equipment with a value over $1,000. The equipment was then reviewed to determine original cost, age and condition, and remaining life. This has been a difficult analysis. No inventory information existed prior to this effort. Most equipment was simply depreciated over its useful life. This assumption does not mean each piece of equipment would be replaced, but those funds would be available to extend its useful life. Staff has considered replacement cost in calculating the annual funding required. Equipment that would not be replaced or that is purchased through a grant program is not included in the replacement calculations. All of this information is used to develop the annual equipment costs to be charged to each department and necessary reserve balances. No funds have been set aside for equipment reserves. Staff has estimated the Accumulated Reserve Deficit by determining the amount of the life of the equipment that should have already been placed into reserve. In addition, we have calculated the amount that should annually be placed into a reserve account to fund the building's replacement at the end of its useful life. The current and annual reserve liability for equipment replacement is as follows: City Department Accumulated Reserve Estimated Annual Deficit 06/30/00 Reserve Required Administration 7,050 400 Fire 222,260 42,570 Public Works 199,080 13,360 Police 301,770 29,970 Community Services 171,920 23,820 Community Development 13,990 3,200 City Manager 2,400 1,000 TOTAL $918,470 5114,320 G Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 2, Page 11 Conclusion: It is the City's goal to fully fund equipment replacement, however, the City has not funded equipment replacement prior to July 1, 2000, except in the wastewater account. Therefore, there is a substantial liability currently existing for all City funds. Equipment is replaced through an appropriation in the current year budget. As the general fund financial condition improves, each department will annually contribute its proportionate share to an equipment replacement reserve. Emergency Contingency: These funds are normally set aside to deal with the unexpected challenge or emergency. One of the highest potentials for Atascadero is fire. The manpower needs and back-up equipment can have a significant effect on the City's financial picture. The City has been funding overtime within the operational budgets and with only minor events, this has been adequate. The Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA has been a great help in flood and fire. The fund also assists with unexpected changes through the year. As an example, the City budgets for normal weather years in a drought, water costs may be higher than anticipated and this fiend would assist the impacted budgets. The City will maintain an emergency reserve of $100,000. Liabilities: Funds are typically set aside to deal with any liabilities the City may face especially in the area of insurance and litigation. The City has very little current exposure and the reserves set aside in the Central Coast Cities Self Insurance Fund appear adequate. Replacement and Maintenance Reserves: The primary areas where reserves must be focused are summarized in the introduction to this section. Development of this strategy will be ongoing and targets for City reserves will continue to be refined. Recommended strategies are as follows: Reserve Fund Current Strategy Building Replacement $ 240,000 Equipment Replacement 40,000 Leave Accruals 0 Street Maintenance 873,000 Technology Replacement 83,890 Vehicle Replacement 259,205 Total S 1,496,095 00)7 Atascadero Comprehensive Financia/ Strategy lune 2000 Section 3- Fiscal Po/icier � 058 J' Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 3, Page 1 Fiscal Policies The budget document allocates City resources such as personnel, materials, and equipment in tangible ways to achieve the general goals of the community. It is prudent, therefore, for the City to have in place adopted fiscal policies to guide the City Manager and City Council through the budget decision-making process. These policies are: Operational Efficiencies: ♦ To implement internal operating efficiencies wherever possible. ♦ To utilize private contractors when the same or higher level of service can be obtained at lower total cost. ♦ To staff each department according to reasonable service levels, and to utilize consultants and temporary help instead of hiring staff for special projects or peak workload periods. ♦ To enter into joint operating arrangements with other agencies so as to provide services more cost effectively. ♦ To increase the use of volunteers. Economic Development: ♦ To provide a climate that encourages healthy commercial areas that capture more of the purchasing power of the community and creates more destination commercial activities to capture regional money. ♦ To aggressively pursue new developments and businesses which are consistent with our quality of life and add to the City's economic base, particularly those that generate sales tax revenue. ♦ To promote a mix of businesses which contributes to a balanced community. ♦ To continue to improve programs to enhance and retain existing businesses. Infrastructure: ♦ To continue to determine and implement strategies to reduce the current backlog of deferred maintenance projects. ♦ To provide sufficient routine maintenance each year to avoid increasing the deferred maintenance backlog. Employee Development: ♦ To attract and retain competent employees by providing a professional work environment, competitive salaries, safe working conditions, and adequate training opportunities. ♦ To base salary increases on individual merit and job performance levels. G�9 Atascadero June 2000 Comprehensive Financial Strategy Section 3, Page 2 New Services: ♦ To add new services only when a need has been justified, and a funding source developed. ♦ To require agreements for specific services and monitor effectiveness on an ongoing basis. Construction of New Facilities: ♦ To plan for new facilities only if construction and maintenance costs will not negatively impact the operating budget. Fiscal Management: ♦ To generate additional revenue by marketing City services to other agencies on a contract basis. ♦ To maximize revenues by utilizing grants from other agencies to the fullest extent possible. ♦ To charge fees for services that reflect the true cost of providing such services and to review fee schedules on a regular basis. ♦ To fully account for the cost of enterprise operations to avoid any subsidy by the General Fund and to charge all enterprise funds their fair share of the cost of City support services. ♦ To maintain accurate accounting records to keep the City Manager, City Council and public informed of the financial condition of the City at all times. 0 6 u ITEM NUMBER: C-4 DATE: 06/13/2000 ro r iris i t E ® 1979 CAD ;' Atascadero City Council City Manager's Office Information Bulletin A.

DISCUSSION: Back round: The Methodist Church requested the deferment of the installation of public improvements associated with their expansion project. The Church proposed to delay construction until surrounding property was developed or gain an extension for two years to allow them to arrange for the funding. Jerry Lombard representing the Church met with Assistant City Engineer John Neil regarding the issue. Staff was reluctant to enter any agreement because of potential precedents that would be set with other projects. Eventually the matter originally came before the City Council in November of 1999. The Assistant City Engineer recommended an agreement allowing the Methodist Church more time to construct required improvements and providing the City additional protections. A copy of the earlier staff report and the proposed contract are included for your reference. According to a representative of the Church, they had not reviewed the document before Council approval and had some concerns. The Church contends that the document does not reflect the discussion between Jerry Lombard and John Neil. City Staff believes it is an accurate reflection. The Church has requested numerous changes to the contract, a copy of the request from their Counsel is attached. The City Attorney has reviewed the requested changes and recommends only two. The first change is a simple word error. The agreement refers to subdivision and this project is not a subdivision, and therefore there is no reason for retaining the word in the agreement. The second change deals with the issue of notice to the Church if the City is going to proceed with the installation of the public improvements at the Church's expense. The City Attorney agrees that a longer notice would not harm the City's position. A ninety (90) day notice period as requested would be acceptable. 069 ITEM NUMBER: D- 1 DATE: 06/13/2000 The City Attorney does not recommend the other changes raised by the Church. In essence, the changes defer the improvements an indefinite period into the future based on discussions in the future. This weakens the City's position regarding requirement and installation of the improvements and sets a precedent for other projects. The Church contends there is a verbal agreement while the Assistant Engineer indicates no agreement was made. The Assistant City Engineer simply met with representatives of the Church and reported to the City Council; Staff does not have the authority to enter into this agreement and explained that the Council makes these decisions. The agreement as proposed protects the City. The typical requirement would be for construction now and not for delayed construction. The agreement sets for a generous provision for the Church based on their particular set of circumstances. Staff recommends that the agreement contain adequate protections for the City to eliminate the potential future precedent this action could be setting. FISCAL IMPACT: None. There have been no new fiscal impacts identified since the last staff report on this issue. ALTERNATIVES: The City Council is not required to take any of the above actions. The Council could agree to any one or more of the requested changes. The Council may also direct that no agreement be entered into and that instead the Church make all of the required improvements now. Staff continues to recommend a deferred improvement agreement, but only with language that benefits the City.

Atascadero City Council Staff Report - Community Services Department Deferred Improvement Agreement United Methodist Church of Atascadero RECOMMENDATION: Council authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement with The United Methodist Church of Atascadero to defer construction of the public improvements required by the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 98014. DISCUSSION: The United Methodist Church of Atascadero has requested that the public improvements required by the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 98014 be deferred for a maximum period of two years so that money pledged by church members to construct the improvements can be accumulated. The Church has also stated that El Camino Real could be improved in a more orderly manner if the properties to the north and south were to construct their public improvements at the same time. FISCAL IMPACT: None ALTERNATIVES: Execute deferred improvement agreement — construction of public improvements could be delayed for period of up-to two years. Granting this request could be an incentive for other developers to request deferral of the requirement to construct public improvements. Do not execute agreement — the public improvements would have to be constructed prior to the final inspection and occupancy of the on-site improvements. The Church's current financial situation may not allow construction of the on-site or the public improvements to begin until all pledges are received. 071 FOR RECORDER USE ONLY RECORDING REQUESTED BY: City of Atascadero WHEN RECORDED MAIL TO: City Clerk City of Atascadero 6500 Palma Avenue Atascadero, CA. 93422 CITY OF ATASCADERO DEFERRED IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT DATE OF AGREEMENT: November 09, 1999 NAME OF DEVELOPER: The United Methodist Church of Atascadero P .O .

We have been working closely with the City Building Department and expect issuance of a building permit momentarily. As I am sure you are aware,building costs have soared in recent months. This is necessitating a considerable reduction in the scope of our plans. Our financial situation is sound, but a considerable amount of the money pledged by our members will be coming in to the church over the next two years. This means we must delay portions of the work for one year or more so that we can pay as we go. One of the segments of the job we would like to delay is the 315' street widening on El Camino Real in front of the church which includes curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. This portion of the project will cost$30,496. Our representative, Jerry Lombard, has reviewed this project in the field with Mr. Wade McKinney and with Mr. John Niel of North Coast engineering. Both have agreed that widening only that portion of the road in front of the church at this time presents problems that could be better dealt with when the adjacent properties are developed. Simply stated these problems are: 1. A narrow bridge just south of the church property which requires a rather short transition distance(from the widened portion to the narrow portion.) 2. The property to the north of the church is at a lower elevation than the roadway, thus creating a transition area that could be hazardous to a northbound auto. The United Methodist Church hereby requests the Council to allow us to delay the street widening, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks until adjacent property (either one or both) is developed. We are willing to post a bond, and pledge to the City that when the work is required by the City of Atascadero it will be carried out promptly and paid for by the church. Thank you for your consideration, Bill Wilson, Chairperson Facilities Enhancement Committee C s 0 February 18,2040 Ms. Kathy Stewart City of Atascadero 6500 Palma Avenue Atascadero CA 93422 Re: United Methodist Church Dear Ms. Stewart: I reviewed the Deferred Improvement Agreement on behalf of the United Methodist Church of Atascadero. Unfortunately,the agreement, as drafted,does not conform with the verbal agreement regarding deferment of the public improvements. it is my understanding that geographical conditions of the adjacent properties make present construction of the curbs,gutters and sidewalks on the subject property very difficult and possibly dangerous. Further,no such improvements exist in the immediate vicinity at the present time. It was determined that,for everyone's benefit,the public improvements should be delayed until the conditions on the surrounding properties make it appropriate to do so. The church has obtained letters of credit in order to secure their commitment to install the improvements in the future. The following changes are necessary to conform with the parties' agreement in this matter: Paragraph B in the"Recitals", the last phrase should state: ". . . or have entered into a secured agreement with City to complete the public improvements in the future" Paragraph C will state as follows: C. The parties have agreed that completion of the public improvements at the present time is not practical due to the conditions of the adjacent properties as well as in the immediate vicinity In consideration for the City's agreement to delay installation and completion of the public improvements, Developer promises to install and complete, at the Developer's own expense, all the public improvements required by the conditions of approval for the Project, G 3 1 Kathy Stewart, City of Atascadero Re:United Methodist Church Page 2 and to secure completion of these improvement;by letters of credit. Paragraph 4,on page 3 should state: "If said public improvement work is not completed within two years of the Date of Agreement, the parties herein agree to review the status of the neighborhood and adjacent parcels in two years to determine if the site conditions remain the same. At that time, if the adjacent parcels remain in their current condition, making construction of the public improvements impractical,the parties may agree to two year extensions of time. Paragraph S must be modified as follows: "If said public improvement work is not completed within the time frames agreed upon by the parties, the City may elect to complete the same. In the event the City elects to complete said public improvements,the City shall give 90 days' written notice to the Developer of their election to complete the public improvements and to utilize the proceeds of the letter of credit." 0 Paragraph 7 should be deleted. Paragraph 10 is vague and ambiguous particularly as to subject matter and time. It must either be trade more specific or deleted entirely. Paragraph 12 ,the third sentence,"within the Subdivision"should be deleted as this project is not a subdivision. When the above changes have been made,please fax the revised copy to me. Do not hesitate to give me a call if you have any questions. Sincerely, WILSON &WILSON Ann Bell Wilson AB W/kms c:United Methodist Church 632
