FINANCIAL ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING : November 4, 2020
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE REPORT
DATED JUNE 30, 2020
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file revenue and expenditure report dated June 30, 2020.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The report summarizes the City’s period and year-to-date (YTD)
revenues and expenditures for June 2020 (Attachment 1).
• These reports are also reviewed by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT - None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Below is a summary of the column headers used on the Revenue and
Expenditure Summary Reports:
Original Total Budget – represents revenue and expenditure budgets the
Council adopted in June 2019 for fiscal year 2019/20.
Current Total Budget – represents original adopted budgets plus any
carryovers (typically associated with long-term Capital Improvement
Projects (CIP) from the prior fiscal year) and any Council approved
budget amendments from throughout the year.
Period Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures
outlaid in the reporting month.
Fiscal Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures
outlaid YTD.
Variance Favorable/(Unfavorable) - represents the dollar difference
between YTD collections/expenditures and the current budgeted
amount.
Percent Used – represents the percentage activity as compared to
budget YTD.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 2
The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other
funds (income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the
year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax
payments are usually received in De cember and May. Similarly,
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in
January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus
expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds.
Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to
month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause
swings.

RECOMMENDATION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

expenditures for July 2020 (Attachment 1).

FISCAL IMPACT – None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Below is a summary of the column headers used on the Revenue and
Expenditure Summary Reports:
Original Total Budget – represents revenue and expenditure budgets the
Council adopted in June 2020 for fiscal year 2020/21.
Current Total Budget – represents original adopted budgets plus any
Council approved budget amendments from throughout the year. The
2019/20 operating and Capital Improvement Project carryovers to
2020/21 will be processed after the year-end audit is completed.

CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 3
87
The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other
funds (income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the
year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax
payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly,
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in
January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus
expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds.
Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to
month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause
swings.

The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other
funds (income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the
year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax
payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly,
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in
January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus
expenditures is funded from the City's cash flow reserve.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds.
Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to
month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause
swings.

OVERVIEW
The City oversees multiple sources of funds which are reported in the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) issued prior to December 30th
of each year and presented at a public meeting shortly thereafter. This Fiscal
Year 2019/20 Budget Report (Report) focuses on the General Fund and
summarizes the overall financial activities of fiscal year (FY) 2019/20 and the
City’s financial position through June 30, 2020.
The FY 2019/20 budget was altered by unforeseen COVID-related
adjustments; therefore, the Report also includes a summary comparison to FY
2018/19, which further illustrates the financial impacts resulting from volatile
economic conditions.
The chart below provides a summary comparison of the FY 2019/20 final
budget versus actual revenues and expenses.

ATTACHMENT 1
The General Fund performed well, with revenues exceeding budgetary
projections and expenditures having savings. In 2019/20, the City leveraged
one-time revenues to fund capital improvements, increase the Pension Trust
contribution, and contribute to the Economic Development Fund to establish
several Small Business Economic Relief Programs. The final budget, including
adjustments approved during FY 2019/20, is detailed in Exhibit A of this
report.
Operational revenues were approximately $2.9 million over budget and
expenses after adjustments, carryovers, and reserve savings were
$1,038,216 under budget resulting in a budget surplus of $3,880,348.
Stronger than expected revenues are credited to the quick adaptation by many
consumers and businesses to virtual interactions and safe physical distancing
practices, unprecedented monetary support by the Federal Reserve, and
multiple fiscal stimulus packages deployed.
REVENUE VARIANCES
As detailed in Exhibit B and summarized on the chart below, most General
Fund revenues experienced positive variances when compared to the final
budget. Two categories representing the largest variances included taxes and
use of money and property.
• Taxes represent 75% of all General Fund revenues and include the three
largest funding sources for the City – sales taxes $19,136,015, property
taxes $9,653,473, and transient occupancy taxes (TOT) $7,603,481.
Combined, these top three revenues account for $36,392,969 or 84%
of all taxes.

• Licenses and permits continued to perform well. COVID did not shut
down the building industry and in most instances allowed for the
acceleration of current projects.
• The Intergovernmental revenue variance is a result of not drawing down
$1,046,529 from Fire Service Reserves and $508,961 is for a pending
CSA 152 Assessment reimbursement which was billed but not received
in FY 2019/20. This reimbursement will be recognized in FY 2020/21.
• Use of Money and Property includes the annual fair market value
adjustment to the City’s investments. In FY 2019/20 the portfolio
holdings were valued greater than book value due to market conditions,
therefore a positive adjustment in the amount of $1,624,037 was
recorded. This amount has been reduced as an adjustment to revenues,
as it is not cash received nor anticipated to be received in the future.
The City’s investments have a five-year horizon with laddered
maturities. The City has worked diligently to leverage highly restricted
investments under volatile market conditions. At June 30, 2019, the
portfolio was earning a 2.04% rate of return and on June 30, 2020 the
return was 1.82%. Today the average investment purchases are
yielding about a 0.50% return. In addition, General Fund interest
earnings have increased after the passage of Measure G because the
portfolio investment balance has increased for multi-year capital
funding.
• Miscellaneous and Transfers In revenue includes $694,234 to record the
annual former Redevelopment Agency loan repayment interest earned
in FY 2019/20. The loan repayments are structured to pay all principal
first, then interest. Each year the City records the payment received and
interest earned in accordance with the State Department of Finance
approved loan repayment schedule. This amount is also reduced from
revenues as an adjustment because it is earned, but not received until
a future date.
EXPENSE VARIANCES
General Fund expenses are summarized on the following page by department,
and details by department and expense category are located in Exhibit C.
Overall, despite significant reductions to budgets during FY 2019/20, nearly
all departments remained within budget.
Savings were derived from the judicious management of contract and
professional services, postponing non-critical repairs and upgrades, and salary
and benefits savings from vacant and temporarily furloughed positions.

* Non-cash expense of $327,338 removed from Actual Centralized Services expenses.
• The largest budget variance was reflected in Centralized Services (CS).
CS captures citywide expenses such as pension liabilities, retiree
medical benefits, and transfers out to other funds such as the Gas Tax
Fund for street improvements, Lighting and Landscape Fund, SilverRock
Golf Course Fund, Public Safety Fund, Economic Development Fund and
the Capital Improvement Project Fund. This department also has the
greatest carryovers to FY 2020/21 to fund multi-year capital
improvement projects as detailed in Exhibit D. The majority of capital
improvement carryover funding ($9,892,641 or 75%) is provided from
Measure G sales tax revenue.
In FY 2019/20 CS also included a non-cash expense of $327,338 to
record the disposal of 35 acres of SilverRock land held for resale. This
park land is now a capital asset under the Park and Equipment Fund of
the City and the non-cash transaction has been removed from the
summary chart on the preceding page and noted in Exhibit C.
• Total savings of $1,449,995 derived from Fire Services included
$490,723 for the fire station 70 revitalization project, which is being
carried over to FY 2020/21 and contract service savings of $673,358.
Carryovers totaling $609,723 also include vehicle equipment upgrades
and fire station 93 building improvements.
• Marketing savings of $285,512 were derived from postponed marketing
campaigns during the final quarter of the fiscal year. Of this amount,
$90,000 is being carried over to FY 2020/21 for commercial,
photography, and other marketing campaigns.
• Parks Maintenance savings of $197,701 were a result of postponed
maintenance services and supplies; of these savings, $59,000 is being
carried over to FY 2020/21 for irrigation and landscape improvements,
repairs, and painting of light posts.
• One department was over budget.
o Public Works Administration did not have a budget in FY 2019/20
because the department was not active prior to the Public
Works/Engineering reorganization, which occurred in February
2020. Salary and benefit expenses of $13,288 resulted from the
final payroll cycle of the FY.
Operational carryovers, detailed in Exhibit E, from FY 2019/20 to FY 2020/21
increased by $1,176,200 from the original anticipated amount of $602,600 to
$1,778,800. This increase is recommended because of the continued volatility
in reopening the economy, which impacts City operations. In addition,
carryovers allow for operational flexibility, recognize updated Federal
guidelines which disallow many previously allowed COVID-related
reimbursable expenses, and amended operational needs such as the
implementation of best practice recommendations from the Short-Term
Vacation Rental Committee.
Funds not being carried over are recognized as Unassigned Reserve Fund
balance in the General Fund. CIP revenue commitments are reflected in
assigned reserves and operational carryovers are noted in committed
reserves, both discussed next.

• Non-spendable balance decreased by a total of $2,196,483 and
included:
• The disposal of 35 acres of Land Held for Resale at SilverRock for
a total value of $327,338. This property is now recognized as a
City Park and home of the SilverRock Event Site.
The FY 2019/20 Redevelopment Agency loan repayment of $2,540,262
and interest earnings of $694,234 resulted in a decrease of
$1,846,028 in Due from Other Governments.
• The Due from Other Governments balance of $26,069,742
represents the principal ($15,662,342) and interest
($10,407,400) owed to the General Fund (80% of total loan
repayments). An additional 20% or $6,978,943 is recognized in
the Housing Authority Fund. The total outstanding loan balance as
of June 30, 2020 was $33,048,685. Non-spendable reserves
cannot be used to fund ongoing operations and primarily
represent commitments due to the General Fund.
• Restricted reserves are limited to funds held in a Section 115 Pension
Trust set aside to fund the City’s pension obligations. The trust was
initially established in FY 2018/19 with $6,540,000 and in FY 2019/20
an additional $3,460,000 was deposited. Coupled with investment
gains, resulted in an increase in total value to $3,709,738.
• Committed reserves decreased by $1,626,500. The increase of
$1,033,500 in operational carryovers is detailed in Exhibit E and is
lowering the Unassigned fund balance.
During the FY 2019/20 Mid-Year Budget Report, the Unassigned balance
was reduced by $5,000,000 and used to fund the following reserves:
• $1,540,000 for Capital Replacement Reserves
• $3,460,000 for the Pension Trust
In March 2020, the Council allocated $4,200,000 from the Economic
Disaster Reserve to cover anticipated COVID revenue shortfalls
($2,700,000) and established Small Business Economic Relief Programs
($1,500,000).
• An increase of $2,943,039 in assigned reserves was due to multi-year
capital improvement project funding ($1,301,982), which is also
lowering the Unassigned fund balance.
During FY 2019/20 the Measure G reserve allocation was $2,136,144 and
$1,121,900 was allocated from prior year Measure G reserves to increase the
funding for the SilverRock Event Site; resulting in an overall increase of
$1,014,244 to Measure G reserves.
The 2020/21 Mid-Year Budget Report will be presented in February 2021.
Usually the Mid-Year Budget Report includes funding options for Council to
consider placing a portion of unassigned reserves into Restricted or Committed
reserves which are not fully funded.
Staff will continue to monitor current economic impacts, local business
restrictions, and current operating expenses to determine if additional reserve
funding is recommended during the Mid-Year Budget Report.
Current reserve balances and targets are summarized below.

YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPARISON
In FY 2018/19, the City received total General Fund revenues of $62,668,834
and before March 2020 and COVID impacts, was on pace to exceed this
amount. The chart on the following page provides a year-over-year revenue
comparison.
Tax revenues include the top three revenue sources of the City; sales taxes,
property taxes, and transient occupancy taxes (TOT). Property taxes
experienced a gain of $300,792; while sales taxes and TOT declined by
$1,769,228 and $3,079,396 respectively.
In FY 2018/19 and FY 2019/20, the adjustment to the fair market value of
investments was $604,126 and $1,624,037 respectively. In FY 2019/20, the
RDA loan interest earnings of $694,234 were also reduced for this year-over-
year comparison. As discussed earlier these are non-cash transactions.
After these adjustments, the year-over-year revenue variance reflects a total
decline of $6,897,872.
General Fund Expenses and Carryovers for FY’s 2018/19 and 2019/20 are
compared in the chart below.

•Expenses were $1,087,977 or 2% less in FY 2019/20 when compared
to FY 2018/19, however, FY 2019/20 included several unanticipated
furloughs, unfilled vacant positions, and forced reductions to the
operating budget as a result of anticipated declines in revenues due to
COVID.
•The Measure G sales tax reserve allocation declined as a result of
reduced revenues and a year-over-year increase of $1,795,000 in the
allocation for police services. Details regarding Measure G revenues and
uses can be found in the Annual Measure G Sales Tax Report.
•Capital Improvement carryovers increased by $1,301,982 and represent
25 active capital projects detailed in Exhibit D of this Report. In FY
2018/19, there were 16 active projects.
•If approved, the amended Operational Carryovers would have a year-
over-year increase of $1,033,500. The adopted FY 2020/21 Budget has
minimal operational flexibility to accommodate additional requests for
unforeseen needs such as staffing shortfalls, updates to processes,
additional marketing efforts, or consulting services for fee studies. At
this time, based on current economic conditions, Finance does not
anticipate increasing revenues in FY 2020/21; therefore expense
adjustments in FY 2020/21 may be limited to these carryovers.

operational needs.
One-time funds, which include the use of reserves and carryovers from 2018/19 to
2019/20, are color coded in blue. These one-time funds were used for multi-year capital
projects ($13,633,266), to establish Small Business Loan Programs ($1,500,000), and for
an additional contribution to the Pension Trust Fund ($3,460,000). The use of these
reserve funds was limited to one-time expenses and do not support ongoing operational

current and future financial health of the City. The uses of these revenues
follow the City’s Sacred Values which focus on - Health and Wellness, High
Quality Aesthetics, a Vibrant and Safe Community, a Visually Beautiful City
and Cultural Diversity. Following these Sacred Values secures our City’s
standing as “The Gem of the Desert.”
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
•Since inception, over $18
million or 45% of Measure
G funds have been
allocated to improving
citywide infrastructure and
public recreational
facilities.
•Public safety services are a
priority of La Quinta and
have been supported with
Measure G funds.
•Fiscally responsible
budgeting, prudent long-
term financial projections,
funds oversight, and
financial transparency have strengthened the City’s reserves since the
implementation of Measure G in April 2017.
•No Measure G funds have been used for Covid-19 related purposes. The
City’s strong fiscal health continues to allow the City to respond quickly
and effectively to Covid-19 related financial impacts to City operations,
and provides much needed support to local businesses.
ATTACHMENT 1
FISCAL YEAR 2019/20 REVENUES
Total Measure G sales tax revenues for fiscal year 2019/20 were $10,310,526.
As a result of the pandemic, this fiscal year ended with many unexpected
challenges and uncertainties. Abruptly in March 2020, mandatory Statewide
stay at home orders closed non-essential businesses, limited travel, restricted
working outside the home, closed hotels, and limited restaurants to take out
orders.
Stronger than anticipated fiscal year-end Measure G sales tax revenues are
primarily the result of both rising online sales with a better collection rate and
La Quinta residents and visitors continuing to support our local economy. With
the City’s financial support, businesses have pivoted operations by taking
advantage of extended outdoor Al Fresco Dining options and Small Business
Economic Relief Loans and Rebates.
REVENUES SINCE INCEPTION
The chart below summarizes Measure G revenues received from fiscal year
2016/17 to 2019/20 and budgeted revenues for 2020/21. Revenues received
in 2019/20 were lower than the previous year because of COVID-19 business
closures. Budgeted revenues for 2020/21 are subject to change as State
mandates are revised and expected seasonal local events are adjusted.
Additionally, the effects of unemployment continue to impact discretionary
travel and spending in our City.
FISCAL YEAR 2019/20 USES
The fiscal year 2019/20 operational expenses and capital improvements were
prioritized and budgeted prior to COVID with a prudent reserve allocation for Budgeted
operational flexibility. The impacts of COVID did not alter essential funding for
public safety or capital projects. By allocating some revenue to reserves, the
City was able to preserve and fully fund public safety and capital projects.
USES SINCE INCEPTION
Each year, in January, the City hosts a community workshop to either affirm
or determine the next year’s budget priorities. Staff then evaluates funding
options such as grants, interagency cost sharing, and use of reserves. Public
safety services have been a community priority since before Measure G, and
with the support of this additional revenue, the City has been able to maintain
the public safety service levels the community desires.
The chart below summarizes uses, since inception, of Measure G funds. The
majority ($18,487,732 or 45%) of these funds are for projects to improve
citywide infrastructure and public recreational facilities.
• Public Safety use shows the City’s continuing commitment to provide all
residents with a safe living environment.
• Infrastructure improvement projects have included numerous road
repairs, street striping projects, drainage improvements to avoid street
flooding, an investment in Highway 111 where since 2016 nearly 80%
of annual sales taxes are collected, an overhaul of landscape medians
north of Highway 111, and the design of updated corporate yard
administrative and crew quarters.

• Recreation projects have included funding for the new X-Park adjacent
to the La Quinta High School, the SilverRock event site, and the design
of a new future Village Art Plaza Promenade connected to the La Quinta
Museum.
• Measure G reserves reflect fiscal responsibility and allow for operational
flexibility by ensuring cash is available for public safety services and
capital improvement projects when these are most efficient to complete.
The chart below summarizes citywide infrastructure improvements and
recreational projects funded with Measure G revenues.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
City Council established an Ad Hoc Committee in February 2018, with the desire
to create an event space that could accommodate events larger than the Civic
Center Campus, the. The Committee consisted of a Council Member, a
Community Services Commissioner, Planning Commissioner, and
representatives from Montage International and SilverRock Development
Company. The Committee then worked with Hermann Design Group and Staff
to create a site plan, budget, and construction timeline for the event site. The
Committee prepared a master plan for approximately 14-acres of park space
with walking paths, turf areas, sloped event lawn, a water feature, public art,
a restroom building, and a modular building (Alongi).
The proposed Master Plan was presented to the Financial Advisory Commission
(FAC) on June 13, 2018. The FAC then submitted a letter to City Council
requesting consideration for additional park amenities that include restrooms,
storage facilities, shade structures, and additional shade trees.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the Venue Site Master Plan
site development permit on June 26, 2018. The Planning Commission
recommended City Council approval and consideration of the FAC’s request for
additional park amenities. The Master Plan was then presented to the
Community Services Commission who also supported the Planning Commission
and the FACs’ recommendations.
On August 7, 2018, City Council approved the SilverRock Park Venue Site
Master Plan and site development permit. Council provided direction to revise
the Master Plan to incorporate the recommendations provided in the letter from
the FAC. The revised Master Plan included one restroom facility and additional
shade trees.
On August 6, 2019, a contract was awarded to Urban Habitat for the
construction of the Project and construction began in September 2019.
During the bid and award of the Project, a rain event occurred that eroded one
of the retention basin slopes and damaged an outlet structure that was planned
to be replaced. This damage was made worse by subsequent rain events. In
May 2020 additional fiscal year 2020/21 Measure G funding, in the amount of
$321,900, was appropriated by Council for the necessary change orders.
Additional funding for the project is needed due to unanticipated costs, as a
result, in large part, to the extent of delay and additional days added to the
contract. As staff was reconciling the project to prepare to close the budget it
was revealed that the office overhead carried by the Contractor was not
included in the various change orders since it was unknown how much delay
there would ultimately be. The project is still currently in delay since power has
not been completed yet by the Imperial Irrigation District. Other delays were
caused by the need for compliance with Labor Union Contracts, and efforts to
coordinate bringing the Alongi building on site with as few interruptions as
possible. Along with project delay, a large CVWD usage fee and increased
restroom installation costs, due to the project Labor Union Agreement, nearly
depleted the existing budget’s contingency.
The Alongi Building Project requires additional funding for landscaping,
irrigation and electrical improvements. The cost for these improvements is
$331,058. Utilizing the project’s contingency of $173,124, approximately
$160,000 in additional funding is needed to complete these improvements.
Phase II of the SilverRock Park Venue Project includes the following proposed
additional amenities:
• Additional restroom
• Storage building
• Shade structures
• Irrigation conversion from well to potable water
• Landscaping and Irrigation of surrounding slopes
• Landscaping and Irrigation of adjacent retention basin slope
• Mitigation measures for adjacent retention basin bottom
• Adding 50 additional trees for shade in park
• Adding concrete curb between the parking lot and overflow parking lot
• Replacing DG Parking Lot with Permeable Pavers
• Shade Cover over Stage
Staff has assessed the Phase II improvements based upon a prioritization
criterion, identifying high, medium and lower priority items. The high priority
items either have a safety impact or are easily constructed by the current
contractor resulting in potential construction cost savings. The total cost of the
items identified as high priority Phase II items is $1,384,600. Total costs
identified are inclusive of soft costs. The medium priority items are important
improvements to the park, but may need additional time to design or for
manufacturing, and construction by the current contractor at this time would
not be most cost-effective option. The total cost of the items identified as
medium priority are $1,203,762. The medium and lower priority items could be
identified in the Capital Improvement Program as future projects. The lower
priority items are improvements that do not have a safety impact and could be
assessed after the park is in use, to determine if there is a future need. The
total cost of the items identified as lower priority are $3,209,138. The total
Phase II improvement cost for all priorities is estimated to be $5,797,500.

FISCAL IMPACT - None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Throughout the fiscal year each Department monitors their budget and
proposes adjustments to reflect current conditions and ongoing operational
needs. Requests are reviewed and discussed before recommending approval.
This Report does not include budget adjustments. Recommended expense
adjustments have been incorporated in the Fiscal Year 2019/20 Year-End
Budget Report.

Attachment: 1. Fiscal Year 2020/21 First Quarter Budget Report
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 4
Fiscal Year 2020/21 First Quarter Budget Report
The 2020/21 General Fund Budget was adopted on June 16, 2020 with a
budget surplus of $9,200, and as a living document the budget allows for
flexibility to accommodate business needs. Quarterly budget reports are
presented to provide ongoing oversight of public funds, relate current and
upcoming activities, and request funding adjustments.
Due to ongoing economic volatility, this FY 2020/21 First Quarter Budget
Report (Report) focused on the General Fund does not recommended any
adjustments. The outlook for economic activity is largely dependent on the
course of the pandemic and to some degree election results, the amount of
additional fiscal relief from the government, and the timeline for a vaccine. All
variables are outside of the City’s control, therefore, Staff believes the best
approach is to continue to monitor the economic environment and business
trends before recommending any possible changes.
REVENUES
Two of the City’s top three revenues sources, (sales and transient occupancy
taxes) have thus far been performing better than anticipated during the first
quarter of the fiscal year. Property taxes, the third revenue source is
anticipated to be within budget by year-end. However, with large events being
cancelled in the Spring of 2021 and a temporary closure of the La Quinta
Resort, this past summer, it is too soon to tell if adjustments will be needed.
Revenue adjustments at Mid-Year may be limited to unanticipated revenues
received, such as CARES Act funds.
EXPENSES
As noted in the FY 2019/20 General Fund Year-End Budget Report, increased
carryovers from expense savings were recommended because of the
continued volatility in reopening the economy, which impacts City operations.
In addition, those carryovers allow for operational flexibility, recognize
updated Federal guidelines which disallow many previously allowed COVID-
related reimbursable expenses, and account for amended operational needs
such as the implementation of best-practice recommendations from the Short-
Term Vacation Rental Committee (Committee).
With these carryovers approved, Staff does not anticipate any further
amendments to expenses during FY 2020/21; unless there are major
operational changes implemented from Committee recommendations or
unanticipated unfunded State mandates due to the ongoing pandemic.
ATTACHMENT 1
Staff will continue to monitor current economic impacts, local business
restrictions, larger local events, the tourism market, and current operating
expenses. These economic conditions will determine if revenue or expense
adjustments are warranted during the FY 2020/21 Mid-Year Budget Report
which will be presented in February 2021.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS AND APPROVE THE POLICE SERVICES REVIEW
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POLICE SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and approve the Police Services Review Committee Recommendations
for Police Services.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The City of La Quinta (City) contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff’s
Department (Department) for police services and has seen costs
consistently increasing.
•Since 2015, the City has utilized Matrix Consulting Group (Matrix) to
conduct annual police services reviews with the purpose of identifying
efficiencies and cost- saving measures.
•The Sheriff’s Department has a new Research and Development (R&D)
team created to also identify cost-saving measures within the Sheriff’s
Department as well as for contract cities.
•Two Financial Advisory Commissioners were appointed in June to serve
on a Police Services Review Committee (Committee) to review current
services, the Matrix study, and proposed the R&D initiatives.
•Recommendations will also be presented to the City Council on November
17, 2020.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department (Department)
to provide police services. The costs associated with this contract have continued
to escalate in an unsustainable manner over the years, and the City is seeking
ways to reduce costs while maintaining the safety of our community.
Since 2015, the City has utilized Matrix to conduct annual police services reviews
with the purpose of increasing efficiencies and identifying cost-saving measures.
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 5
Matrix has been recommending a reduction in patrol hours as one way that the
City could reduce costs.
Additionally, the Sheriff has created a Research and Development team in order
to study how the Department can increase efficiencies, utilize technologies, or
otherwise fin d way s to reduce the cost increases that ultimately get passed on to
contract cities. Representatives from this team presented their cost-saving
proposals to City Council on June 2, 2020, howev er the hybrid models discussed
have not yet been tested by any other agency or within the Department.
Council requested that staff work with the Financial Advisory Commission (FAC)
to create a Committee to evaluate the Sheriff’s R&D Model, analyze Matrix
reports, evaluate service delivery options (including reallocations), and conduct a
comprehensive review of police services.
Two FAC Commissioners, Rosen and Batavick, were selected to serve on the
Police Services Review Committee during a meeting of the FAC on June 3,
2020. The Committee also consisted of the Community Resources Director,
Public Safety Manager, Financial Services Analyst, and Police Captain Misty
Reynolds and Lieutenant Jeff Buompensiero.
Multiple Committee meetings were held as noted below:
1.June 17: Introduction to staffing models presented by Riverside
County Sheriff’s Department Research & Development (R&D), Thermal
Staff, Matrix, and city staff.
2.July 1: Review of Police costs
3.July 15: Review of duties performed by Deputies and Community
Service Officers
4.July 30: Review of R&D Hybrid Model
5.August 13: Review Staffing Options and formulate a recommendation
for City Council.
6.October 21: Three individual Council debriefing meetings held with no
more than two members to discuss recommendations.
Additionally, the two Commissioners participated in a ride-along with
Sheriff’s Deputies in order to better understand the services provide by our
police officers.
The FAC Commissioners involved with the Committee developed a
comprehensive list of proposed actions for both the Sheriff’s Department and
the City (Attachment 1). The items recommended for immediate action are
as follows:
•The committee supports reducing patrol hours to 130 hours per day
and reallocating Community Service Officers to supplement patrol
hours
•Increase utilization of Community Service Officers and gradually
evaluate if R&D model can work
•Proceed with the Public Safety Camera System
•Continue to explore economies of scale by consolidating a regional
police contract with the cities of Indian Wells and Palm Desert
ALTERNATIVES
The FAC could choose to approve the recommendations as presented,
modify and approve the Committee’s recommendations, or not support the
recommendations.

Expenses, Preliminary Recommendations from FAC Ad-Hoc Committee
City of La Quinta
Committee Review of Police Services Expenses
Preliminary Recommendations from FAC Ad-Hoc Committee
Below please find the recommendations developed after multiple meetings with City staff
and representatives of the Sheriff’s Department. The points are divided into two categories,
those which are substantially the responsibility of, or actionable by, the County and those
of/by the City.
Riverside County Sheriff’s Department:
1) Notwithstanding external factors such as labor negotiations that factor into the
accuracy of longer-range planning, it would be helpful if the County afforded Cities the
opportunity to sign multi-year contracts (3 to 5 years), in order to facilitate budgeting
for public safety expenses. The earlier contracting agencies are provided with potential
cost increases, the better for planning.
2)Continue to monitor and control all County and local police expenses to reduce, flatten
or markedly reduce the rate of increase in these expenses. We recognize that a
substantial portion of increasing expenses are tied to the unfunded pension and retiree
healthcare expense benefits and encourage the county to work with the CalPERS staff
and Board, as well as State representatives, on potential long-term solutions.
3)Review all activities and related expenses associated with police support locations (for
example the Thermal station, call center, or other facility expenses). Determine the
necessity and effectiveness of these activities and related expenses, identifying
efficiencies that could be realized. Review all allocations of these expenses to cities and
the related allocation methodologies to determine the fairness of these allocations.
4)Review the nature of public emergency and non-emergency service calls to determine
if any of these calls (for example alarm events, minor traffic accidents, etc.) may be
recommended for elimination or be exclusively assigned to community service officers.
5) Review all policing tasks performed by deputies and support staff to properly align job
duties with required skills. Explore the ability to reduce the time spent by deputies (on
average, about 40% of their total hours) on administrative tasks thru greater use of
technology.
6)Ensure data collection systems for tracking key information (for example community
service officer time, time spent by deputies on calls, etc.) are properly collecting this
ATTACHMENT 1
data. It is difficult to make staffing decisions without accurate data regarding time
utilization.
City of La Quinta:
1) Develop a hybrid model for City policing which incorporates the best of our current
arrangement (contract deputies @ 135 hours per day, 2 community services officers,
etc.) with ideas and suggestions from the Sheriff’s R&D Workload Based Model. This
R&D model includes a greater use of community services officers and the use of
dedicated deputies.
2) The committee recognizes the challenges with raising revenues, but it is important to
continue to monitor the 10-year projection of the City’s Annual Budget, including
expected increases in police services expenses, in order to assess the need for new
revenue streams. In coordination with the Financial Advisory Commission, consider a
proposition to raise taxes, such as transient occupancy taxes, or introduce a new tax,
such as a parcel tax, to exclusively cover increasing police expenses. An option would
be to consider raising Measure G tax rate so more of these revenues are used for police
services. This would free up more tax revenue for our CIP
3) Continue to explore police expense reduction opportunities thru economies of scale by
potentially consolidating our policing contract with the policing contracts of
neighboring cities Indian Wells and Palm Desert.
4) Incorporate into the hybrid model any impact our new city-wide camera system will
have on the delivery of police services.
5) Continue to maintain a reliable set of metrics (for example, percent of General Fund
Revenues spent on police services, per capita police expenses, crime occurrences, etc.),
possibly in cooperation with other Coachella Valley cities (or other cities whose size
and socio-economic characteristics are similar to the City of La Quinta), to measure
comparability and identify outlying metrics.
6) Follow the City of Coachella efforts to study the transition of their police services
from the Sheriff’s Department to a City Department. Consider gathering additional
information from the cities of Palm Springs, Cathedral City and Indio, all who have
City Police Departments. These efforts will help determine the potential
consideration by our City to study the feasibility of transitioning to our own police
department. Although upon initial review by this committee a City Police
Department does not seem to be an option that would result in savings (and could
actually increase costs), this should be continually monitored.
7) Monitor recommendations by the Sheriff’s R&D department; request metrics from
staffing model tests such as the dedicated patrol officers, to determine effectiveness
before any possible implementation here.
8) Monitor calls for service, increases in population, and crime rates to assess impact of
any staffing changes.
9) Continue the work with the Financial Advisory Commission subcommittee to
continually monitor police services and their associated costs.
10) Determine if there are any City policies and procedures that should be revised to
better align with policing objectives.
The committee supports reducing patrol hours to 130/day and increasing utilization of
Community Service Officers. We acknowledge the fine work of all the officers and support
staff of the Sheriff’s Department. We appreciate the amount of time Captain Reynolds and
other members of the Sheriff’s Department spent with our committee and look forward to
continued productive dialogue with the Department.

FINANCIAL ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING
DEPARTMENT REPORT
TO: Financial Advisory Commissioners
FROM: Rosemary Hallick, Financial Services Analyst
DATE: November 4, 2020
SUBJECT: SECOND QUARTER 2020 (APRIL-JUNE) SALES TAX UPDATE
FOR THE CITY OF LA QUINTA
The attached report was prepared by consultants HdL Companies as an update
of sales tax receipts for second quarter sales from April-June 2020.
Sales Tax Update
•The City’s sales-per-capita was higher than both the county and state
averages.
•General consumer goods (such as department stores) and
restaurants/hotels made up 47% of sales tax revenue during this
quarter, based on the unadjusted numbers.
•La Quinta’s overall adjusted sales tax receipts for major industry groups
decreased (21.7%), which compares to Riverside County at (7.1%) and
Southern California at (18.0%).
•The City benefitted from stay-at-home orders in the form of an increase
in the County pool share, due to increased online purchasing.
Measure G Update
•General consumer goods (such as department stores) and
restaurants/hotels made up 57% of transaction tax revenue during this
quarter.
•The autos and transportation sector made up 14% of transaction tax
revenue as opposed to 9% of sales tax revenue.
•Measure G overall adjusted receipts were down (14.6%), which is more
favorable than the sales taxes again due to increased online purchasing.
The City continuously monitors local development, economic conditions,
impacts on travel and trade, and legislative and judicial news for any potential
changes to sales tax collections. Attached is the September 2020 update
regarding economic conditions as related to the COVID-19 pandemic and
subsequent business closures. The City’s current fiscal year budget was based
on known information; however, the numbers are subject to modification
based on the rapidly changing environment and will depend heavily on when
the economy is reopened in full.

La Quinta’s receipts from April
through June were 12.8% below the
second sales period in 2019. Ex-
cluding reporting adjustments, actu-
al receipts for the period were down
21.7%.The limits placed on travel and
working outside the home set by the
state created a sharp drop in gas-
oline sales, restaurant traffic and
sales be general retail outlets. On the positive side, construction
spending, business to business
transactions, and sales by food and
drug outlets were all up. Because
folks were forced to stay home, on-
line sales exploded which increased
the size of the countywide pool by
over 30%. The jump in the size of
the pool increased the city’s alloca-
tion by over $68,000.Measure G generated $2,575,612.
Net of reporting adjustments, results
are down 14.6% from this time last
year. Gas and restaurant sales fell
the most while construction spend-
ing was up 13%. Net of adjustments, taxable sales
for all of Riverside County declined
7.1% over the comparable time pe-
riod while those of the entire South-
ern California region was down
18.0%.

Statewide Results
Local sales and use tax receipts from April
through June sales were 16.3% lower than
the same quarter of 2019 after factoring
for accounting anomalies and back pay-
ments from previous quarters.
This was the largest quarter to quarter de-
cline since 2009. The drops were deepest
in the San Francisco Bay Area, Central
Coast and Southern California where de-
clines in revenues from fuel, automobiles,
general consumer goods and restaurants/
hotels were the most severe.
However, despite a 14.9% unemployment
rate that eclipsed the previous high of
12.3% during the great recession of 2010
and temporary business closures, the drop
in sales was less than previously projected
by most analysts including HdL.
The high second quarter unemployment
rates primarily affected lower wage service
sectors which generate a smaller share of
sales tax revenues. Internet connected
knowledge workers continued to work
but locked at home, found that they had
extra cash to spend because of reduced
commute and work-related expenses and
few entertainment or travel options. Ad-
ditionally, though much of the quarter’s
government relief payments were spent
largely on rents, utilities and necessities,
the money was not distributed propor-
tionally to income losses thereby adding
temporary discretionary income gains for
some recipients.
Low interest rates and longer term lend-
ing practices allowed the extra money to
be spent on previously delayed purchases
such as autos and home improvements.
New car registrations dropped 48.9%
in the second quarter, but sales tax re-
ceipts dropped only 15.8% as buyers who
did purchase, opted for more expensive
SUV’s, trucks and luxury vehicles. As
cabin fever set in, sales of RV’s, boats and
Motorcycles also began to rise.
With restaurants and many brick and
mortar stores closed or restricted to lim-
ited occupancy, buyers shifted to online
shopping with tax revenues from in-state
fulfillment centers rising 142.7% over the
second quarter of 2019 and county pools
where tax receipts from out-of-state goods
are allocated, rising 28.9%. Online sales
accounted for 52.0% of this quarter’s tax
revenues from the general consumer goods
group.
Working at home eventually morphed
into working on home thereby boosting
related improvement purchases. Grocers,
cannabis, liquor and sporting goods fur-
ther helped offset losses in other segments.
Strong demand for warehouse and ship-
ping technology, equipment and supplies
to accommodate the increase in online
shopping as well as home offices and
virtual classrooms helped offset declines
in the business/industrial group. Un-
anticipated gains in agriculture related
purchases and transit spending further
added to the offset.
Pandemic uncertainties, fires, childcare
issues and bankruptcies are expected to
result in uneven gains through 2020-21
with each jurisdiction’s experience differ-
ing according to the scope and character
of their individual tax bases. Overall
recovery and improvement in statewide
receipts is not expected to begin until
2021-22.

CALIFORNIA FORECAST
SALES TAX TRENDS AND ECONOMIC DRIVERS
SEPTEMBER 2020
ATTACHMENT 2
FY 20/21 & 21/22 FORECAST
HdL 2Q20: Forecast vs Results
As part of preparing our April and June economic forecasts earlier this year, we acknowledged the
second quarter of 2020 (April to June period) would be the bottoming out months for sales tax revenues.
Beginning in March, shelter in place orders coupled with county-based health and safety decisions
triggered immediate closure of businesses, a spike in unemployment and much uncertainty about
economy recovery. Unlike prior calamities in our nation’s history, the COVID-19 pandemic was unique
for many reasons, not the least of which was closing entire industries that generate sales and transaction
taxes so vital for governments to deliver public services.
The high second quarter unemployment rates were primarily felt in the lower wage service sectors which
produced a lesser share of total sales tax revenues. Knowledge workers including professionals, analysts
and marketers continued to work at home; they found extra cash to spend because of reduced commute
and work-related costs as well as less entertainment/travel options. Though much of the quarter’s
government relief payments were spent largely on rents, utilities, debt, and savings, the money was not
distributed proportionally to income losses, thereby also triggering temporary increases in discretionary
income for some beneficiaries. Low interest rates and favorable lending practices allowed the extra
money to be spent on previously put off items such as autos and home improvements.
To our surprise, the Autos/Transportation results were better than expected in the second quarter
of 2020. While new vehicle sales were reported to be down 34% nationally, auto-related tax receipts
dropped only 17% in California. Car dealers proved adept at transitioning to online sales; unprecedented
government stimulus and rock-bottom interest rates were effective in avoiding worst-case possible
outcomes. Furthermore, consumers had more disposable income to spend after the cancellation of
vacation plans. Many thought it could be a good time to find a deal, taking advantage of attractive
manufacturer incentives. Some bought a new car to avoid public transportation and ride hailing services.
Others justified their purchase as an escape, wanting a new vehicle for road-trips. Recreational vehicle
and boat sales were especially strong as families looked for new activities to share. Finally, car pricing has
hit record levels after automotive production was curtailed earlier this year while manufacturers worked
to make assembly-lines safe and, in some cases, temporarily transitioned to the fabrication of medical
equipment.
Second quarter results from Building/Construction were 3.3% lower than this time last year, right in
line with forecast assumptions. Activity temporarily dipped following two months of job site shutdowns
ordered in six Bay Area counties and a 5% decline in Los Angeles county output. Around the interior of
the State, from Central California to the far northern areas, construction spending increased. Meanwhile,
statewide consumer spending on home improvements drove up returns at outlets which posted record
gains as home improvements occurred at a robust pace.
As California continues to address all aspects of COVID-19, we have modified the September
2020 HdL Economic Forecast. Given the dramatic onset of the pandemic, we are sharing
explanations about how second quarter 2020 sales tax results compared to our forecast for this
time period. Information is summarized by major industry groups. It is our hope these explanations
not only capture what occurred this past spring but will be helpful in explaining how fiscal
year 2019/2020 sales and transactions tax results were affected by this public health crisis.
The Business/Industrial group reduction was slightly less than projected because of unanticipated
increases in agricultural related expenditures and demand for equipment, supplies and technology to
accommodate work and school at home conversions. One-time transit projects also produced temporary
gains for the group overall.
Lack of dining opportunities along with stay at home mandates drove sales from full-service grocery
stores up by 8%. Cannabis retailers were deemed essential; the addition of new merchants partially
contributed to the 40% growth by this sector. Overall performance of the Food/Drugs group was slightly
better than our estimates.
The full brunt of COVID-19 struck the Fuel and Service Stations industry hard during this time. While
regular and diesel gas pump prices in California began to go back up at the beginning of the quarter,
this did not translate into an increase in sales tax associated with fuel. People stayed home and did
not travel or participate in many road trips. The airline and travel industries were hit hard, and this
translated to lower sales tax on jet fuel. Total sales tax in the industry dropped 47% in the quarter
completely attributable to lack of demand and consumption of fuel. Results varied in different parts of
the State, depending upon the severity of shelter in place orders, local reliance on workers and facilities
that supplied diesel fuel for the trucking industry.
General consumer goods receipts did better than projected declines, coming in 38% lower than the
same period in 2019. Categories that exceeded expectations included electronics, home furnishings,
sporting goods, and specialty stores. Statewide, these categories still reported extreme losses ranging
from declines of 36% to 51%. Sporting goods/bike stores decreased only 11%. As households became
local offices and learning centers it was clear spending shifted to categories that improved these spaces
like home furnishings. Discount department stores, expected to perform well, grew market share
and accounted for over 43% of revenue in from this group. Overall big box retailers declined which is
attributed to reduced fuel consumption/prices that are combined with store transactions reported by
some companies.
Restaurant spending hit a low point in April. The varying levels of restrictions across the state resulted
in varying performance for restaurants in the second quarter. Restaurants in the
Far North, Sacramento region and San Joaquin Valley were not hit as hard
as the rest of the State. These areas boosted the statewide losses. Diners
were anxious to return to restaurants and rushed to eat out during the
re-opening in June. This behavior proved to be a momentary lift on
restrictions, but provided a much needed, albeit small boost to casual
and fine dining at the end of the quarter.
Our forecast for State and County Pools was inclusive of the Wayfair
decision for both remote sellers plus newer marketplace facilitator
taxpayers. Expectations were housebound families would be more
judicious in spending, focusing on essential products and limiting
discretionary spending. However, robust shopping pushed this group up
29%. Record numbers of online customer accounts were created during
the shelter weeks. Online sales from segments like shoes, furniture, leisure
wear and exercise equipment were beyond expectations. The largest impact
emerged from general retailers who exceeded estimates; revenues from this sector
rose $71 million, a 264% improvement. Significant store closures across the State along with generous
temporary unemployment benefits helped spur a greater than anticipated growth by the pools.
Pandemic based sales tax outcomes over the last two quarters of fiscal year 2020/21 have influenced
our most recent September economic forecast. While these projections are a statewide perspectives,
we remained focused on fine tuning budget estimates and addressing unique concerns based upon the
expectations and needs of each client.
HDL CONSENSUS FORECAST – SEPTEMBER 2020STATEWIDE SALES TAX TRENDS
Autos/Transportation 0.7% | 4.4%
Vehicle sales have bottomed and are beginning a recovery
that will take 2-3 years, according to forecasts from
WardsAuto and the Center for Automotive Research.
High consumer debt and work-from-home policies are
likely headwinds, but sales will be pushed forward by
strong natural demand. Recent surveys indicate the
biggest concern for car dealers is not economic issues but
a shortfall of popular SUV and truck models on dealership
lots after production was disrupted earlier this year.
Consequently, vehicle pricing is at record levels. While lack
of choice and fewer incentives may temporarily hamper
sales, the higher pricing will be supportive of tax receipts
going forward. Production issues should also be resolved
in time, with WardsAuto reporting that North American
factories recently reached 100% capacity utilization for
the first time since 2005.
Building/Construction 1.6% | 5.0%
Despite seven straight quarters of declining construction
permit issuance, delays caused by Covid-19 workplace
standards slowed projects enough to create a backlog that
will mask the decrease of future development inventory
through November for the Bay Area and Southern
California regions. Between January and June, expect Bay
Area and Southern California total construction levels
to remain static while outlying areas will see growth
because of the continuing need for affordable housing.
Reconstruction of fire damaged structures should
begin within 6 months after the fires are completely
extinguished.
Business/Industry 0.4% | 6.0%
Initial recovery is primarily related to accommodation of
pandemic and climate-related changes. Strong demand
for warehouse and shipping technology and equipment
support the shift to online shopping in addition to home
offices and virtual classrooms. Climate induced investment
in irrigation and agricultural technology remains.
Anticipate a strong rebound in medical equipment and
pharmaceuticals once pandemic controls allows return
of elective and non-emergency medical procedures.
Unprecedented fires and hurricanes may temporarily
close some production capacities and cause new supply
chain interruptions. Expect uneven gains through fiscal
year 2020-21 with overall improvement not until 2021-
22. Each jurisdiction’s experience will differ according to
the size and character of its specific business/industrial
base.
Food/Drugs 3.5% | 3.0%
Most entities within this group remained open as
essential businesses during the shelter in place orders.
As such, people had to adapt to eating at home more
often; this trend should continue for grocers and food
sellers who have ramped up home delivery in a big way.
Cannabis companies are adding new tax revenues as more
establishments become open with approval from local
jurisdictions. Drug store consolidations or reductions are
likely in over-saturated markets.
Fuel/Service Stations -5.9% | 12.2%
Oil demand and consumption has plummeted throughout
the globe. OPEC eased back production by two million
barrels per day in early August. Saudi Arabia sees fuel
demand wavering among the coronavirus flare-ups
around the globe; they cut pricing for October oil sales.
Inventory levels for U.S, European and Asian producers
are above levels for what is typical right now. United
States production slowed from a year ago. COVID-19 has
significantly curtailed demand for jet fuel. With economic
signs reflecting downward pressure on the fuel industry,
we forecast taxes declining for the next three quarters
with recovery beginning in the spring of 2021.
General Consumer Goods 1.5% | 9.4%
Brick & mortar’s turbulence lingers as merchants navigate
economic headwinds while trying to balance reopening
stores with public health and safety concerns. Consumer
spending saw a quick recovery in June as retailers
began opening doors but has leveled off since July at
just under 15% of pre-COVID levels. New demand for
electronics, appliances, and home furnishings spurred by
the need to create work from home and virtual learning
environments are anticipated in the short term. Federal
stimulus combined with a lack of outlays on fuel and
entertainment allowed households to make use of excess
discretionary income. Initial third quarter reports show
spending being tempered as unemployment benefits
expired and consumer confidence staggered to a six-year
low. Our projections have tax volumes staying below the
pre-pandemic peak through fiscal year 2021-22.

2020/21 | 2021/22
Restaurants/Hotels -15.5% | 20.1%
Restaurant spending has slowly started improving, but
the Governor’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy imposes
capacity limits for indoor dining with the best scenario
allowing indoor dining at 50% capacity. The CDC has
released a study that is leading health officials to state
that eating out is one of the riskiest activities for COVID.
Large gatherings are still not allowed. As Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP) loans run out, many types
of restaurants are facing dire situations; the forecast
assumes that 20% will not survive the restrictions.
Restaurants with drive-thrus are a valuable asset and
are performing better. The unknown timing for indoor
dining and the changing weather ahead present the
next obstacles for restaurants. The industry is being hit
hard and the recovery will lag far behind other industry
groups.

Proposition 172 projections vary from statewide Bradley-Burns calculations due
to the state’s utilization of differing collection periods in its allocation to counties.
HdL forecasts a statewide increase of 0.32% for Fiscal Year 2020/2021 and 8.42%
for 2021/2022.
State and County Pools 12.9% | 8.0%
Thrust forward by the pandemic, online sales still
dominate a growth pattern in contrast to most of the
on-the-ground retailer’s short-term declines noted
above. Recent shelter in place mandates created
some category winners, especially from direct to
consumer and marketplace facilitator companies. The
coronavirus spurred many more customers shopping
on the web while much of the retail industry addresses
location closures, layoffs and bankruptcy. The final
implementation of the Wayfair decision in California
occurs in the first months of fiscal year 2020-21 and
will influence the forecast for that year. Thereafter,
consumer’s behavior continues a steady ascent into
more essential and discretionary spending away from
stores; next year’s increase reflects this trend.
2020/21 | 2021/22
NATIONAL AND STATEWIDEECONOMIC DRIVERS
Beacon Economics | BeaconEcon.com
U.S. Real GDP Growth 12.4% | 2.4%
One month the economy was fine, the next it was in complete
freefall. With the second quarter behind us, we have a good idea
of the damage generated by the pandemic – output dropped
almost 12% from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the second quarter
of 2020, the sharpest decline ever recorded. The big question is
where does the economy go from here? A collapse in consumer
spending occurred, but not because people couldn’t spend money
(driven by a collapse of wealth), but because fear and caution
surrounding the disease itself prevented them from spending. A
prime example is the healthcare industry. Over one-third of the
decline in consumer spending occurred from a drop in healthcare
consumption. Healthcare is not a cyclical sector and did not
experience a single quarter of lower spending in previous cycles.
Therefore, the hit this time was not driven by reduced demand but
because the healthcare system deferred non-essential visits until
the virus was brought under control. So to answer the big question
– there will be a bounce in economic activity in the second half of
2020, aided by the resumption of delayed spending.
U.S. Unemployment Rate 7.2% | 5.1%
As dramatic as the second quarter numbers have been, there is
plenty of evidence indicating that the shocks to the economy
are largely transitory. The enormous surge in unemployment was
not driven by true job losses but by temporary layoffs. At 14.7%
in April 2020, the U.S. unemployment rate reached a post-WWII
high. However, in the subsequent months, the unemployment rate
has steadily and consistently declined to 8.4% as of August 2020,
as businesses continue to reopen and economic activity contintues
to resume. Additionally, the share of the labor force that was truly
unemployed – either lost their job permanently or have entered the
labor market and are looking for work – was roughly 3% in April,
substantially lower than the 8% plus rate seen back at the peak
of the Great Recession. In a less positive sign, the unemployment
rate for those who are truly unemployed increased in the following
months, reaching 4.1% in July.
CA Total Nonfarm
Employment Growth -2.3% | 4.4%
California’s labor market began to recover from the effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic in May and has continued that recovery
through August, adding 885,000 jobs. There was a slowing of job
growth through July and August, but that was in large part a reaction
to the resurgence of the virus in the form of renewed public health
mandates. Yet, even with this moderation in employment growth,
the previous four months account for some of the strongest month-
over-month job gains in the state’s history. Notwithstanding these
record-breaking gains, California has only regained 33% of the jobs
that were lost in March and April. Considering the trauma sustained
by the state’s economy, the key question centers on how long it will
take the labor market to recover. Simply put, the roughly 2.6 million
jobs lost in March and April will not return over night, even after
the spread of the virus is fully contained. Indeed, about 100,000
jobs were added to the state’s economy in August, and while this is
a positive sign, if the state continues to add jobs at this rate, it will
take until the second half of 2021 to reach February 2020 levels.
CA Unemployment Rate 9.9% | 7.4%
One ostensibly positive sign is that the state’s unemployment rate
fell to 11.4% in August, a 4.1-percentage-point decline relative to
April, although this remains a far cry from the 3.9% rate enjoyed one
year ago. It could be the case that the month-over-month decline was
driven more by a decline in the state’s labor force than by an increase
in employment. California’s labor force – the sum of the state’s
employed and unemployed - contracted for the second consecutive
month, losing 117,100 workers in August. From a year-over-year
perspective, the labor force has declined by 3.7% - a steeper drop
relative to the 1.9% decline in the nation overall. Since February,
the number of people looking for work in the state has fallen by
807,000, a sign that many workers have become discouraged and
have stopped actively looking for employment. A possibly better sign
is that 50% of the state’s unemployed workers report their layoff as
temporary, and that they should be returning to work in the coming
months. Notably, however, in April more than 70% of the state’s
workers described their unemployment in these terms. The shrinking
number of people who identify as being temporarily unemployed
creates concern that many exisiting layoffs are turning permanent.
CA Median Existing
Home Price $505,006 | $527,356
While the impact of the pandemic has been broad-based throughout
the economy, the impact on the residential housing market has
been relatively mild. Homebuyer sentiment took a hit in the early
months of the pandemic, as buyers and sellers grappled with the new
constraints of homebuying in a pandemic. Statewide, year-over-year
home price appreciation fell to 0.7% in the second quarter of 2020,
the lowest rate recorded since the 2008-09 recession. Meanwhile,
home price growth tracked into negative territory on a quarterly
basis, falling 4.1% from the first quarter to the second quarter of
2020. Fortunately, California’s housing market is recovering swiftly,
in tandem with the nation as a whole.
Monthly data show home sales in a high growth climate, with
significant activity occurring in more rural parts of the state such as
the Central Coast, Sierra/Gold Country, and north Bay Area counties.
Prices are recovering as well. The resumption of sales at higher ends
of the market is helping prices increase overall, while the persistence
of low housing inventory adds upward price pressure in response to
the surge in demand.
CA Residential
Building Permits 92,879 | 108,215
The COVID-19 pandemic has had less of an impact on the residential
housing market than most other sectors of the economy. The
quintessential V-shape recovery seen in home prices and sales
testify to this dynamic. Residential construction activity in California
declined in the second quarter of 2020, (despite most construction
activity being deemed “essential”), and the state permitted roughly
5,000 fewer permits relative to the first quarter of the year.
Thereafter, residential permitting has recovered rapidly, returning to
pre-COVID levels in July. Beacon Economics considers housing to be
among the least affected sectors going forward.

Receive and File the First Quarter Fiscal Year 2020/21
Budget Report
Revenue
•Sales tax has shown some strength over the summer, boosted by online sales and to some degree payments related to Q1 and Q2 sales
•TOT is up over LY in STVR, but hotels are down; we anticipate STVR may continue to outpace projections until Spring when scheduled festivals and events were to occur
•Staff is diligently monitoring trends and may adjust projections based on actual revenues received and calculated impacts of Spring cancellations for the Mid-Year and Third Quarter Budget Reports

Expenditures
•City Departments appropriately adjusted spending in response to the pandemic at the end of FY 2019/20, and despite budget adjustments still realized savings which were available to be carried over into 2020/21
•Carryovers will enable departments to react to continually changing events and operational needs
•Since staff does not currently anticipate revenue increases, carryovers may be the only opportunity for expenditure changes this fiscal year
