SUBJECT: General Information

Notable Items

 Among some of the early accomplishments of the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) were several improvements along 7th Standard Road. Some improvements involved multi-party agreements, State grants, and contributions from the County of Kern and City of Shafter. Due to the intricacies of these projects, it has taken a considerable amount of time to close out the respective grants and accounting records.

As the case with a vast majority of TRIP projects, these improvements have cost less than budgeted. As a result, the City recently learned it will receive $1.7 million back in savings from our share of the cumulative projects. These funds are part of the federal earmark, which can now be applied toward the Centennial Corridor project. Ultimately, these funds will reduce the City’s borrowing amount for the project.

 The Centennial Plaza improvements are nearing completion. As displayed in the picture below, there is still some work to be done. Over the next few weeks, City staff will be mortaring the engraved tiles and bricks adjacent to the fountain and pouring stamped concrete in other locations at the Plaza.

Many other improvements have recently been completed at the Plaza as well. These improvements include planting new trees and wrapping them in year-round lighting; placing bench seating under the trees for more shade; and adding stamped concrete that has the appearance of bricks throughout the Plaza.

 As a commitment to provide quality entertainment in Bakersfield, the City recently completed numerous improvements at the Bright House Network Amphitheatre. The purpose of these improvements was to enhance the experience of the audience, create a memorable environment for the performers, and reduce overall operational costs. The improvements include modifying the fountain area for an additional 170 premium seats; adding new permanent and temporary fencing; constructing concession areas with utility connections; and completing other backstage improvements. These improvements have not gone unnoticed; thanks to AEG, we have recently announced four major acts, which represent a major upgrade in the quality of performances.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.brighthousenetworksamphitheatre.us, in person at the Rabobank Arena box office, or by phone at 852-7777. More shows at the Bright House Network Amphitheatre will be announced in the coming weeks.

 Bakersfield Mobile, the City’s free smartphone service reporting app continues to be very popular. Launched in July 2014, the app has been downloaded 4,100 times and users have submitted nearly 7,500 service requests to date. The top two service requests by percentage are graffiti and water waste complaint at 32.4 and 31 percent, respectively. The app provides an efficient and simple way for residents to submit a wide range of issues directly to City staff for review and resolution. The app is free to download on Apple, Android and Windows devices by searching “Bakersfield Mobile” in the respective app store.

 Congratulations to Matt Billingsley, Senior Sales Representative for Visit Bakersfield, who recently earned the title of Certified Sports Event Executive (CSEE) from the National Association of Sports Commissions. CSEE is the highest designation in the Sports Destination Management industry. It took Matt three years of hard work for to receive this designation; he’s one of three CSEE’s in California with only 117 nationwide.

 Congratulations to Police Chief, Greg Williamson, for his recent induction to the North High School Athletics Hall of Fame. He was a standout two sport athlete at North High and excelled in the classroom as well. He played two years on varsity in both football and baseball, and received many accolades.

Traffic and Other Road Advisories

In the event of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, this work may be rescheduled to a later date. General Information Page 3 April 15, 2016

 Nighttime Lane and Ramp Closures Southbound State Route 99 and Rosedale Highway Off-ramp

Temporary shoring activities for a new retaining wall located along southbound State Route 99 near Gilmore Avenue will require nighttime closures in this area for the next six weeks.

The contractor will need to close the two outside southbound lanes on State Route 99, between Gilmore Avenue and Rosedale Highway, and the southbound Rosedale Highway off-ramp during this period. This work is expected to be conducted Sunday through Thursday nights, beginning April 17th, between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.

When the ramp is closed, southbound State Route 99 motorists who want to access Rosedale Highway or 24th Street will need to continue southbound and exit at California Avenue then return via northbound State Route 99 to the Rosedale Highway/24th Street exit.

 Earthwork Along State Route 184 Continues

The contractor for the State Route 178 Widening project will continue to perform earthwork activities along State Route 184 next week. The contractor will be moving dirt off the job site and flagging personnel will need to stop traffic to allow trucks to enter and exit the job site, and for the loading process.

Traffic may be stopped for up to 10 minutes between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., affecting both directions of travel on State Route 178, between Canteria Drive and Valley Street, and on State Route 184, between State Route 178 and Chase Avenue. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes or to allow sufficient time to reach their destinations while this work is underway.

 State Route 99 to State Route 58 Connector Ramp Nighttime Closures Westbound State Route 58 Nighttime Lane Closures

Nighttime closures have been scheduled for the northbound State Route 99 to eastbound State Route 58 connector ramp and the southbound State Route 99 to eastbound State Route 58 connector ramp each night from Sunday, April 17th through Wednesday, April 20th. The eastbound State Route 58 on-ramp from Real Road is also expected to be closed on these nights. The closures are expected to be in place between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., each night. Eastbound motorists will be detoured onto Brundage Lane and enter State Route 58 at the Union Avenue Interchange.

Westbound State Route 58 motorists are advised to watch for nighttime lane closures between Union Avenue and H Street. The two outside lanes are scheduled for closures so the contractor can work on the footing for a new retaining wall in this area. These closures are also expected to be in place between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.

Long-term shoulder and lane closures will also be in place on the following City streets while the contractor works on bridge widening activities: P Street, between Dobrusky Drive and Snyder Lane; Madison Street, between Brundage Lane and Derrell Avenue; and Cottonwood Road, between Brundage Lane and Padre Street. Work in these areas is General Information Page 4 April 15, 2016

expected to be conducted during daytime hours, between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

 Centennial Corridor Utility Potholing Schedule for the Week of April 18, 2016

The Centennial Corridor team will continue potholing operations next week to verify existing utilities located along the corridor. Potholing operations entail making a small hole and vacuuming out dirt to allow buried lines to be identified, then replacing the dirt and restoring the ground surface. Approximately 200 locations have been identified for potholing.

The contractor plans to have two trucks in operation Mondays through Thursdays, through May 7th. Crews are expected to be in the field between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each work day. Lane or shoulder closures will be in place as necessary while work is underway. The contractor plans to perform operations in the following locations during the week of April 18th through 21st:

o Montclair Street, near Easton Drive; o Woodlake Drive; o Malibu Court and Kensington Avenue; o Joseph Drive, between Candy Street and Morrison Street; o Ford Avenue at the intersections of Morrison Street, Dunlap Street and Candy Street; and o North side of Stockdale Highway, between North McDonald Way and Garnsey Avenue

MEMORANDUM

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager Nelson K. Smith, Finance Director

DATE: April 12, 2016

SUBJECT: Council Referral #684 – General Fund Questions

Referral:

Councilmember Maxwell requested that the Finance Director provide answers to the following questions regarding the General Fund:

1. What are all sources of income that could be dedicated to the General Fund? Could you please include any of the ones that are being designated to other funds under an ordinance or resolution, such as the Utility Surcharge, but could theoretically go to the General Fund.

2. How is the "rollover" calculated each year and what funds besides the General Fund can it go into and does it go into?

3. As a side issue, I heard at the dedication for Hoskins Overpass that it was funded locally. Please remind me what the City's contributions to that project were and what were the funding sources?

Response to Question #1:

There are many revenue sources that are currently dedicated to the General Fund. Some of those sources are considered “on-going”, meaning that they are fairly stable and occur each year. Other sources are considered “one-time” in nature, meaning that they may not occur with any consistency. The general categories of revenues in the General Fund are as follows:

- Taxes - which include: Property Taxes, Sales Taxes, Franchise Taxes and Business License Taxes - Licenses and Permits – the larger items in this category include: Alarm Permits, Dog Licenses, Building Permits and Street Permits - Intergovernmental – this category includes Federal, State and County Grant funds that may be used for General Fund operational purposes. This category also includes State Vehicle License fee revenues. - Charges for Service – this category includes various development related Plan Check and Inspection related service fees. It also includes the Fire fund revenue received from the County each year as it relates to City fire services provided in County areas. This category also includes the park revenues collected from property owners in the special parks maintenance district areas. - Fines, Forfeits & Assessments – this category includes parking fines, weed abatement collections and animal control redemption collections. - Miscellaneous revenues – this category includes interest on investments, various rebates, refunds and cost reimbursements.

Most of the revenues listed above are considered on-going in nature. Revenues such as property taxes, sales taxes, or charges for service occur each year. While such revenues may fluctuate up or down with the economy they are stable enough to commit to annual costs such as salaries, benefits and annual operating expenses of the General Fund.

On the other hand, one-time revenues such as rebates, refunds or certain grant related revenues tend to be intermittent or may fluctuate dramatically from one year to the next. The City Council has had a longstanding practice of using one- time revenues for one-time costs; usually for capital improvement projects since one-time revenues cannot sustain ongoing costs over time.

Capital Outlay Funds (COF) – Capital Outlay fund accounting exists to separate one-time capital costs from annual operating costs, so not to skew operational budgetary comparisons from one year to the next.

Funding for projects within the Capital Outlay Fund (COF) have historically been derived from three primary sources:  Transient occupancy tax (hotel tax)  One-time General Fund revenues  Facility replacement reserve

The ratio of TOT to one time General Fund revenues or facility replacement reserve varies annually depending on fiscal conditions. For example, in FY 2015-16, TOT comprises 94 percent of the total amount of funds budgeted with the COF. The remaining source of funds was from the Facility Replacement Reserve. We have allocated COF funds to TRIP projects in prior fiscal years, but there was no current year allocation of COF for TRIP projects in FY 2015-16. In general, the COF provides resources for projects associated with general funded City services. Examples include rehabilitation and improvement projects at all fire stations, materials for local street maintenance, selected park projects, animal care center improvements and arena facility improvements.

The City Council may vote to cancel a previously authorized capital project, where those funds could then revert back to the General Fund and be used for operations. As a practical matter, this action is exactly what was proposed and approved by the Council back on January 20, 2016 where certain capital projects totaling about $1,740,000 were removed from the approved list. This type of action is rare, but it is an alternative during difficult budgetary times.

Looking forward to the FY 16-17 budget, the only source of COF funding will likely be from the Hotel Tax revenues. The vast majority of these funds will go toward street resurfacing projects, with the balance of funds going toward local matching requirements of specific federal or state grant funded projects.

Facility Reserve Fund – This is a sub-fund of the Capital Outlay fund where one-time monies are set aside for emergency repairs. In good years we build up this fund for unanticipated emergency response needs. In normal years we hold these funds, but do not allocate them for any specific project. In difficult budget years (like in FY 15-16) we may draw upon these funds to construct critical projects or repairs that cannot be deferred to a future year. In FY 15-16 the adopted budget included a draw on the reserves of $530,000; bringing the balance in the fund down to approximately $3.2 million from the $5.0 million that we strive to retain. The City has many General Fund assets – City Hall, fire stations, police stations, the arena, parks, etcetera. Emergency repairs have to be provided for in order to maintain the functionality of these assets.

Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) – More commonly known as Hotel Taxes, this is the 12% tax assessed to the cost of each hotel room within the city limits. Last year we collected $9,487,984 in TOT revenue. When the Arena was constructed in 1997 the City entered into a debt obligation and we use about $3.2 million of this money each year for debt service payments on the Arena. We also account for the Arena/Theater operations in this fund as well as the operations of the Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB). Our current management contract with AEG caps our net loss on arena operations at $415,000 per year. The current year budget for the CVB is roughly $800,000. The remainder of TOT funds has historically been transferred out to either the General Fund or the Capital Outlay Fund; depending upon whether funds were needed to balance operations or if they could be made available for capital improvements.

Traffic Safety Funds – The Traffic Safety fund is used to account for unlicensed towing fee collections and vehicle code fines. These revenues are routinely transferred to the General Fund to support Police operational costs. The annual transfer amounts generally range from $600,000 to $900,000.

Gas Tax Funds - The City annually receives funding from the State pursuant to California Constitution Article XIX and Streets and Highways Code Section 2101. Gas Tax funds are required by law to be used for street and road-related purposes. They can be bonded, as is proposed for the TRIP program, or used for road construction through the normal City bidding process. They can also be used for salaries of certain employees who work exclusively on eligible activities.

In years past the City spent about $1.2 million per year for salaries out of the gas tax fund. Additional operating costs for annual street maintenance averaged about $3.3 million per year, so prior to the transition, the gas tax fund paid about $4.5 million per year for salaries and operating costs for road maintenance. The balance of annual gas tax revenues were historically expended for capital projects.

When the revenues to be pledged for the future TRIP debt service were assembled, the City began to reallocate those monies from the Gas Tax Fund to the General Fund. Prior to the transition the General Fund expended about $8.4 million for street maintenance activities. Now that the transition is completed the General Fund expenses have increased to $14.5 million; an increase of $6.1 million, which exceeds the $4.5 million average spent from the gas tax fund.

Utility Surcharge Revenues (USR) – This fund was established by Council Ordinance as a special fund to account for the additional 0.5% Electricity Franchise tax as well as the 1.0% Utility Surcharge fee for both electricity and natural gas. The City Council has dedicated these funds to be used:

“for the purpose of funding capital improvements related to the city’s roads program, including, but not limited to, the payment of debt service or other types of payments related to obligations incurred in connection with the financing of such capital improvements”.

Because the revenue was initially established for roads, it is legally dedicated to roads. If anything changed and it was used for any other purpose, it would weaken the likelihood of being able to continue receiving the revenue.

As you know, these funds along with Gas Tax and Transportation Development Funds were the three revenue streams submitted to the court as part of a validation action, to be pledged for a future borrowing action to coincide with the completion of the Centennial Corridor project. Under that action specific revenue streams are submitted to court for a determination on whether they are suitable and appropriate for a revenue pledge for debt service. That action was taken by the City Council on September 25, 2013.

The validation action was challenged by a citizen group. The City prevailed and the revenues were validated by the Superior Court. That decision is now on appeal with the Appellate Court. The process may take several months to complete, depending upon the actions of the Appellate Court.

Any change or interruption in the Council’s prior actions regarding the TRIP financial plan and the revenue pledges could delay the construction of the Centennial Corridor, which is likely to increase its cost due to inflation in construction costs, as well as the potential for interest rate increases.

Consequences of stopping the road projects – While the cost of financing the completion of the Centennial Corridor project is certainly significant, it is important to understand that the alternative of stopping the road projects also carries a significant consequence to the City. If the Council were to decide to terminate efforts to complete the TRIP projects, the City could be subject to repayment of Federal or State funds spent to date on environmental/preliminary engineering costs for those particular projects. To date those numbers are $12,057,000 on 24th Street and $56,579,000 on the Corridor, for a total of $68,636,000. Additionally, any local funds spent on the project would in effect have been a wasted effort. Most of the projects are already under construction, with the exceptions of 24th Street and the Centennial Corridor.

On 24th Street we have already spent nearly $18 million of Federal funds on design and right of way costs, with an additional $14 million of federal funds designated for remaining right of way and construction. Additionally the City has spent over $4 million of local funds, with an additional $28 million designated for completion of the project.

On Centennial we have spent over $120 million of Federal funds to date, with an additional $177 million of federal funds obligated toward the project. Additionally the City has spent over $10.7 million of local funds so far on the project, with an additional $21.5 million of local funds budgeted for the Centennial project.

Abandonment of the projects would therefore result in a massive waste of resources. Repayment of these amounts would be a tremendous challenge for the City, as would the property management issues that would exist if progress on constructing the facilities were to cease. Stopping the Centennial project at this point in time would cause tremendous hardship on both the City and the citizens who live in and around the project footprint area. The City has already acquired nearly 200 properties (including apartments and commercial parcels). Termination of the project would cause the City to incur significant added cost of maintaining/repairing/securing and eventually re-selling these properties over a period of years. Several of these properties have been broken into over the past few months; some of them on multiple occasions. Stopping the project would subject the City owned properties in the area to further damage and vandalism as well as cause extend disruption to the neighborhoods in the surrounding area.

Response to Question #2:

I believe the “rollover” that you are referring to is the amount of “fund balance” that is used each year to balance the General Fund budget. Each year during the budget process the Finance Department and the City Manager’s Office estimate revenues and expenditures to the end of the fiscal year. Any projected surplus revenues or budget savings are then analyzed further to determine if those savings are considered “on-going” or “one-time” in nature. The on-going savings is rolled over into the next years’ budget process to help balance the other on-going revenues with the on-going expenses. As discussed earlier, the revenues determined to be one-time in nature are usually transferred out to the Capital Outlay Fund to be used for capital projects.

Money cannot be moved from one fund to another without City Council approval. So in answer to your question, there are no other funds that go into the rollover calculation. Hotel Tax or Traffic Safety funds may be proposed to be transferred to some other fund (for example, the General Fund or Capital Outlay Fund), but these actions would be considered by the City Council as part of the annual budget review and adoption process. Fund Balance transfers are not part of the rollover calculations.

Response to Question #3:

The Hosking Interchange project was indeed funded with a variety of local funding sources. The total project budget of $33,235,230 was funded as follows:

Gas Tax Fund $ 9,305,000 Capital Outlay Fund $ 4,700,000 Utility Surcharge Fund $ 433,360 Transportation Development Funds $ 18,796,870

Total Project Budget $ 33,235,230

MEMORANDUM

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Nelson K. Smith, Finance Director

DATE: April 12, 2016

SUBJECT: Council Referral #685d – TRIP Expenses – Rivera Follow up question

Referral:

Councilmember Rivera requested a breakdown of the $67 million reported previously of TRIP dollars “budgeted but not yet expended”.

Response:

A Council referral memo dated March 25, 2016 (referral # 685b) previously reported the following information regarding TRIP project funds:

“The amounts that have been budgeted but not yet expended on TRIP projects in the current fiscal year (FY 2015-16) total $388,885,000. This figure includes $293,082,000 of Federal and State grant dollars, $28,556,000 of the local County contribution and $67,247,000 of other local City funds.”

Councilmember Rivera requested a breakdown of the $67 million of local funds by fund and by project. The remaining budgeted funds fall into two general groupings. The first group includes those monies that are contractually obligated, meaning that contracts have been awarded, work is under way and these funds are needed to ensure the City can meet the contractual obligations. The second group includes those local funds that have been budgeted and designated to meet the local matching requirements for the designated project.

The attached spreadsheet provides the detailed breakdown of the $67 million Local funds for each of the two categories described above. The top section of the spreadsheet reports the local funds needed to meet current contractual obligations. The lower section of the sheet reports the local funds needed to meet the local matching requirements of each project.

The $570 million federal earmark funds were awarded in four separate earmark allocations. The federal funds for 24th Street are part of the Rosedale earmark, where the City is leveraging over $54 million of federal funds to complete the Rosedale Highway widening and the 24th Street Improvements. Acceptance of the earmark funds is contingent upon the City completing the projects. The $28 million shown for 24th Street represents the balance of local funds needed to meet the local matching requirements of federally funded projects that fall under the Rosedale earmark fund.

The federal funds for the Centennial Corridor projects are partially funded by the Beltway earmark ($14,272,000), with the remaining federal funds allocated under the Centennial earmark ($286,548,000). The $13.4 million of local funds designated for land acquisition represents a portion of the estimated $20 million of local funds needed as local matching requirements for the $165 million of federal funds already allocated toward right of way acquisitions. The $5.8 million shown on the spreadsheet represents the local matching requirements for the Kern River Bridge construction segment of the project.
