STAFF REPORT
RE: Westshore Pool Operation and Maintenance SUBMITTED BY: Mark Brannigan, Public Works Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item MEETING DATE: 11/19/2013

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/AGENCY/BOARD: The City Council is being asked to provide direction to staff regarding the Channel Cats intended use of the swimming pool beginning in February 2014 for school swim team training, and provide direction in the repair of the pool pump and motor. BACKGROUND: On December 10, 2004, a 20 year agreement between the City and the Lakeport Unified School District was signed by the City Mayor and School Board President. The attached presentation lists the key points within the agreement and how it impacts the City and School. For many years, the Lakeport School District has not been contributing to the operation and maintenance of the pool under the current pool agreement. The pool agreement places the cost of operating the pool on the School District between March and June for school classes and programs, as well as for training and competitive swimming. Since the School District has not been contributing per the agreement, and the City has carried the full burden of operating the pool year-round. The City has been working with the Channel Cats swim team to help it use the pool during the out of season time frame. At the March 5, 2013 Council meeting staff recommended to the City Council to operate the pool for the "out of season" time frame to allow the Channel Cats to continue giving the youth of our County an opportunity to participate in an organized swim team. The City is planning to open the pool to the public for the months June through August as it has done in the past. At the March 5, 2013 meeting, direction was given to staff to operate and maintain the pool and pay all costs associated with opening the pool for this season, in hopes that the School would begin participating per the pool agreement next year. DISCUSSION: The Chanel Cats are planning to begin school swim team training in February, 2014. There is a lot of work that this club does to prepare for the season, and staff would like to get Council direction in regards to continuing to pay the costs to open the pool, as well as the operation and maintenance of it during the time that the School, under contract, is obligated to maintain the pool. On November 6, 2013 staff arrived at the pool to find the pump and motor inoperable. Staff is currently researching the cost to replace the pump and motor. This pump is needed to filter the pool water and circulate the chemicals (and heat during off-season) throughout the pool. This pump must be replaced to obtain a permit from the Lake County Environmental Health Department, which is needed before anyone
Meeting Date: 11/19/2013 122468.1 Page 1 Agenda Item #VI.A.1.

can use the pool. An email request to the Schools Superintendent was sent on November 12, 2013 asking if the School would participate in sharing the costs associated with repairing this pump. OPTIONS: Direct staff to draft a Memo of Understanding (MOU) between the Chanel Cats and City for the use of the pool during the months outside of the Citys obligated operational timeframe. Request that the Channel Cats seek a MOU with the School District for use of the pool during the off season, or during the months the School is obligated to operate the pool. Provide direction on how to proceed with possible School participation. FISCAL IMPACT: None $ Account Number: 110-3050-990.000 Comments: The current budget has funds set aside for anticipated capital needs of the pool, but the assumption behind the Capital Improvement Plan is to provide 50% of the total cost for any capital needs of the pool, and that the School would provide the remaining funds. SUGGESTED MOTIONS: Make a motion directing the staff to not operate the pool during the months outside of the agreement terms, which require the City to operate the pool from June through August, and to encourage the Channel Cats to approach the School for an MOU. Make a motion directing staff to continue talks with the School to get approval to replace the pump and reach an agreement as to the cost sharing.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Downtown Improvement Project SUBMITTED BY: Scott Harter, City Engineer PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item MEETING DATE: 11/19/2013

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD: Staff is presenting information on the history of the project as well as its current and future status. BACKGROUND: The Redevelopment Agency funding for this project dates back to 2007 including some RDA bonds from 2004. In 2008 and 2009 multiple public workshops were held to gather input from stakeholders on the direction of the proposed Main Street Improvement Project. A design concept was selected, renderings were produced and desired features were identified which included street trees, patterned sidewalks and crosswalks, street furniture, decorative lighting, sidewalk curb extensions (bulb-outs) at intersections and low monument wall seating. In early 2010 a design team was selected through a competitive process and work began in earnest on the project. In September of 2011 with the design process at about the 80% phase the Redevelopment Director approached the Redevelopment Agency with options to consider reducing the scope of the project due to many factors including legislative actions, flat Redevelopment revenues, and internal budget adjustments. The September 20, 2011 meeting was a public workshop and multiple different scenarios were presented for public consideration and comment as well as RDA consideration. This was followed up by a November 1, 2011 meeting which the RDA provided direction to staff for the scope of the project reduction. The reduced scope project is to focus on Main Street and not include First or Second Streets and is to include two foot wider sidewalks, trees and tree grates, relocate the streetlights when the sidewalks are widened, provide for patterned intersections and crosswalks as well as street reconstruction. In the revised project there are no curb extensions (bulb-outs) or monument walls. Subsequent to the November 2011 meeting the Governor and State Legislature took action to eliminate Redevelopment Agencies and until recently there was a great deal of uncertainty regarding the City's ability to keep and use our redevelopment bond funds. That uncertainty has lessened and we now have the ability to use that funding for our intended project. Our current level of funding remaining is approximately two million dollars for the remaining engineering and construction of the project. The design consultant will be present at the meeting with a short presentation to highlight the features of the approved reduced scope design as well as to provide updated estimates of construction cost. OPTIONS: Review the presented information on the status of the Downtown Improvement Project. FISCAL IMPACT: None $ Account Number: Comments:

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT


OCTOBER 31, 2013 FOURTH QUARTER, 2012-13

OVERVIEW
City management is pleased to present this quarterly financial report summarizing the Citys overall financial activity and position through June 30, 2013. This financial information is unaudited. For audited information, or to find greater detail, please refer to the Citys Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), which is released by December 31 each year. ADJUSTED BUDGETS AND REVENUE ESTIMATES. The revenue projections and budget expenditures presented herein include budget adjustments approved by the City Council.

GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL CONDITION. The Citys general fund is its primary source of discretionary resources for the provision of service deemed necessary and desirable by the citizens of Lakeport and the City Council. The general fund realized an increase in its fund balance of $295,617 for the year, resulting in an ending fund balance of $3.31 million. Of this amount, $1.42 million is available for spending. The remaining amount consists of interfund loans receivable and land held for resale. Total fund balance as a percent of total expenditures was approximately 79%. This constitutes the Citys general reserves, well above the adopted policy requirement of 25%. General fund revenue is reported at 99% of total budget estimates. This is slightly lower than anticipated due to sales and property taxes not meeting expectations. Expenditures are 7% lower than anticipated for the year due to cost savings from vacant positions, operational costs, and capital projects that were not completed by year end. A more detailed discussion of these sources and uses is provided below.

a 3% administrative fee withheld by the City, not available for general governmental purposes. Sales Tax. The City collects sales tax from two sources: normal Bradley-Burns sales taxes - which are shared between City, county, and the state and a cent sales and use tax, commonly referred to as Measure I and devoted entirely to the City. Both tax sources are general taxes and can be used for any regular, general governmental purpose. Overall, sales taxes receipts were not as robust as we expected. Bradley-Burns and Measure I collections were one and two percent higher than last year respectively. Property Tax. Though the housing market is beginning to recover modestly, the increase observed here is, in part, due to the reallocation of former redevelopment funds, which were remitted by the City to the County and redistributed to local taxing agencies. Slightly less than 10.5% of property taxes paid by property owners within the City is allocated to the City. The majority is distributed to local schools and the County of Lake. Property Tax in Lieu of VLF (Vehicle License Fee). These are property tax shares allocated to cities and counties beginning in FY 04-05 as compensation for the states take of Vehicle License Fees (VLF). Collections are slightly lower than a year ago. This revenue source typically mirrors regular property tax collections. Property Tax in Lieu of Sales Tax (Triple Flip). This is a mechanism used to repay the state fiscal recovery bonds pursuant to Prop 57 of 2004. Under the Triple Flip, the local sales and use tax rate is reduced from 1.00% to 0.75% with the 0.25% diverted to repay state fiscal recovery bonds. Cities and counties are reimbursed for the lost revenue from a shift of property tax revenue. The 17% increase over last year is likely due to timing differences in payment to the City and is not indicative of significant increase in sales tax activity. Grants. The City receives two grants to fund public safety activities, known by their acronyms COPS and CHRP. CHRP funds a single officer in the Police Department, whereas the COPS grant is used for any general public safety purpose. Franchise Fees. This includes revenues from franchise fees paid by PG&E, MediaCom (Cable), and Lakeport Disposal. Revenue from this source overall is on par with estimates and modestly higher when compared to a year ago. Rents and Leases. This is revenue collected from leasing properties to private parties and other funds/agencies, i.e. water, and sewer enterprises. This revenue has declined from a year ago due to the loss of the Redevelopment Agency. Business License Tax. Businesses that operate within City limits are required to obtain a business license. A tax is assessed for the privilege of doing so, the proceeds of which are available for unrestricted use in the general fund. Receipts are up significantly from a year ago indicating new business activity in the City.

DEPARTMENT EXPENDITURES
Departmental expenditures City-wide (i.e., general fund, special revenues funds, RDA Successor Agency, water and sewer) ended the year at 66% of budgeted appropriations. This large variance mostly is attributable to capital projects that were budgeted but not attempted, including Safe Routes to School, the Lakeshore Drive Storm Damage Repair, and the Downtown Main Street Revitalization. Cost savings from position vacancies and general operations also played a large role in keeping expenditures within budget for many departments. For those departments that exceeded their budgetary appropriation, the following events are most responsible: City Attorney: Unanticipated costs associated with special litigation was the largest contributor to budget overruns. The amount of these costs were largely unknown by year-end making budget adjustments difficult. The legal services that generated these costs were approved by the City Council. Housing: Grant-driven housing activities were more robust than anticipated. Expenditures were driven by housing loan issuances and associated administrative costs, all of which are funded through program income or reimbursed by state or federal sources. No general fund or enterprise funds are used for this purpose. Engineering and Information Technology: The overrun in this department derived from the loss of the Safe Routes to School Grant, which required the general fund to absorb over $17,000 in unrecoverable costs. Although departmental expenditures were 66% of budgeted appropriations for the year, City-wide budgeted expenditures, including non-departmental, ended 68% of appropriations. A reconciliation has been provided at the bottom of the chart to the right to help understand the relationship of departmental to total City-wide expenditures. Non-departmental expenditures include items for which the Finance Department administers but are not considered part of its operating costs. These items include most debt service, bank and merchant fees, retiree health premium payments, and other miscellaneous administrative expenses charged by outside agencies. The City maintains budget control at the fund level. However, the Finance Department monitors expenditures at the object or account level (i.e., salaries and benefits, electricity, professional services, etc.) and reports that information monthly to all departments and the City Manager.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The City conducts two enterprise activities: water and sewer, housed administratively within the Public Works Department (merged with the Utilities Department in FY 2012-2013). Through the collection of fees and charges, these funds should collect revenues sufficient enough to finance costs associated with administration, operations, capital improvements (CIP), and debt service. Water and sewer activities are accounted for like a business in the private sector. This is starkly different than governmental fund accounting, which is concerned only with current spendable resources, what we call fund balance. This can cause confusion for users of government financial information, because the reconciliation between these two types of accounting can be nebulous. Information presented here is budgetary-based and not GAAP. Working capital is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. It approximates fund balance in governmental funds. In other words, its the resources available to meet ongoing operating, debt service, and capital activities. Non-cash expenses are excluded from this presentation. WATER ENTERPRISE New rates went into effect January 1, 2013. Although operating revenue increased by only four percent from the prior year, revenue from rates averaged 20% higher compared to the same time the previous year. There are several reasons for the discrepancy, including the recognition of only six months of adjusted rate revenues and decreases in other revenue sources, but revenues overall are in line with our expectations. Expenditures overall are down from the year prior due entirely to reduced capital activities. Operating expenditures in personnel, materials, supplies, and service costs were up as work in preparing the USDA loan application and preparing for large capital projects consumed considerable resources. Debt service was up this year due to timing differences in payments from last year. SEWER ENTERPRISE Rate adjustments for sewer were scheduled to go into effect July 1, 2013. Monthly revenue from rates did increase on average from the same month a year ago, but the increase was nominal. Expenditures overall are up from the year prior due to increased capital projects. Congruent to water activities, operating expenditures in personnel, materials, supplies, and service costs were up in preparing for USDA financing. Debt service was down this year compared to last due to timing differences in payments.

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT


OCTOBER 31, 2013 FOURTH QUARTER, 2012-13

REDEVELOPMENT
The Lakeport Redevelopment Agency was officially dissolved February 1, 2012. The City retained the function as the Successor Agency to both the housing and non-housing assets for the purpose of winding down the former agencys affairs, while an oversight board was established, pursuant to AB1X 26 and further revised under AB 1484 to review and oversee the dissolution process. The primary duties of the oversight board are to review and approve a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS), dispose of all remaining, former agency assets, and approve an administrative budget for the Successor Agency (provided to the right). Under AB1X 26 and AB 1484, the City is due an annual administrative cost allowance of $250,000. As of June 30, 2013, the City expended the full amount of that allowance in the performance of dissolution activities and in the planning of remaining projects identified in the most recent Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS). The cash assets of the former agencys housing and non-housing funds totaling $638,354 have been surrendered to the county. Of this amount, the Citys general fund received a portion, as did the other taxing entities within the former agencys jurisdiction. The Lakeport Unified School District received the largest share of this redistribution followed by the County of Lake, ERAF (additional amount to the local school district), and the City.
