BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City froze positions within the general fund and reverted projected revenues to the last full fiscal year prior to the pandemic (FY 2018-19) to project revenue for the first full fiscal year of the pandemic (FY 2020-21). A similarly conservative growth approach was taken going into the FY 2021- 22 budget year. Actual revenues have exceeded those estimates and even the pre -pandemic trends the City was forecasting. On a cash flow basis, this revenue was spent to fund pandemic related activities, including responding directly to the emergency to ensure employee and public health and safety. The primary spending was on the Great Plates Delivered program which delivered meals to senior and individuals at high risk of severe COVID complications. All these activities were fully reimbursed by the federal government. Those reimbursements have been received by the City, freeing up additional General resources above and beyond the City's required 16% General Fund reserve set by Council policy and those created by the City's normal operating budget surpluses. The City's Pension Stabilization Policy (PSP) requires all reserves in excess of 16% in the General Fund to be sent to a Pension Stabilization Fund (PSF) to provide resources to reduce the City's Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) with CalPERS in the future. The City has taken significant strides to address the UAL and this historic, one time infusion of funds due to pandemic related budgeting practices and available resources presents a unique opportunity to provide substantial community benefit while not ignoring the long term UAL liability. Per the PSP, staff took all reserves in excess of 16% and invested those in the PSF based on the closing fund balance at the end of FY 2020-21. However, in preforming the calculation, staff netted out all pandemic related spending and reimbursements. This resulted in a total General Fund contribution to the PSF of $1,669,145 and Adopt Resolution Approving the Use of One Time General Fund Surplus Funds Accrued as a Result of Conservative Pandemic Budgeting, Strong Economic Activity and Federal Reimbursements for Pandemic Related Spending and Appropriating Funds ($9,580,000) April 20, 2022 Page 2 of 2 a total PSF contribution of $2,230,107 with the difference being contributed by other operating funds based on their share of pension costs. The result is $10,280,000 in un -programmed General Fund reserves for Council to allocate. $9,580,000 is addressed in this staff report. Another $700,000 will be allocated separately. Staff is recommending considering using this one-time money outside the PSP and programming these funds for various projects. City staff created a wish list of items for funding based on requests from City Council, the public, and departmental needs. The list totaled over $250 million in deserving projects and is non-inclusive of all needs or community desires. In review, only the highest priority projects with a public health and safety benefit, future cost reduction, brand or image enhancement, no alternative readily available funding source, or ability to increase revenue generating capacity were recommended for funding. At the April 12, 2022 shirtsleeve meeting, City Council provided input on the proposed projects for funding. The attached resolution incorporates input from that discussion. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact from this action. The source of the $9,580,000 is General Fund reserves above the targeted policy. FUNDING: Reserve funds that are the subject of this action are in excess of the 16% target reserve policy.
