City of Carmel-by-the-Sea Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Quarterly Performance Report

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2012-2013 January 1, 2013 March 31, 2013 Presented to the City Council May 7, 2013

Summary of Report
THIRD QUARTER This report provides a quarterly update of the Citys fiscal, operational and capital project completion performance relative to the adopted fiscal year 2012-2013 operating plan and budget. The third quarter of Fiscal Year 2012-2013 ended March 31, 2013. Revenue continues to show signs of strengthening and expenditures are well managed by the departments. The most significant financial variance is the States unanticipated payment of vehicle license fees. On the whole, General Fund revenue received was nearly $9 million at the three-quarter point of the year and actual expenditures are just over $9 million. No fund balance has been used for operations. Other highlights for the second quarter include: progress on 2013 key initiatives, effective management of departmental operations, and substantial completion of capital projects. The three primary revenue sources are strong. Property taxes are 62% of budget projections indicating a likely positive true variance. Sales tax and transient occupancy taxes are at 64% and 68% of budget respectively. The Measure D one-percent sales tax rate increase became effective on April 1, 2013. Reported performance measures reflect those that are included in the adopted fiscal year 2012-2013 budget. This quarterly report is a status update of the fiscal year 20122013 operating plan and budget. The City Council provided direction on certain performance metric revisions that will be presented to the City Council in May for adoption as part of the fiscal year 2013-2014 operating plan. A summary of the funded fiscal year 2012-2013 capital projects begins on page nine of this report. Work is underway on all projects with 78% of the projects being substantially complete.

Third Quarter FY 12-13 Performance Report

Department Summary
Note: This section reports on variances of actual expenditures compared to budget. The summaries differentiate timing variances from true variances. A timing variance is when an expenditure is anticipated in the adopted annual budget but does not occur at the anticipated time or on an even quarterly basis (for example a one-time expenditure that occurs in the first quarter). A true variance is an expenditure that is not anticipated in the adopted budget.

REVENUE Revenue shows continued strengthening through the third quarter. Secured property taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and sales taxes are projected to exceed the adopted budget targets. Motor vehicle in-lieu revenue was funded by the State but was an unanticipated revenue in the adopted budget. Building permit revenue is demonstrating positive growth and will likely exceed revenue estimates. Year end projections anticipate revenue exceeding revised budget targets by five percent. CITY COUNCIL The City Council budget is approximately 77% expended at the three-quarter point of the fiscal year. Annual citywide dues are paid early in the fiscal year resulting in much of the departments expenditures being front loaded in the fiscal year.

The Marketing budget is 81% expended as of the end of the third quarter; most regional marketing efforts occur during the second and third quarters. 41% of the Community Services budget is expended at the three quarter point of the fiscal year with the savings primarily in parttime assistance due to a vacancy. The department is completing a marketing plan which is one of the Citys 2013 key initiatives, developing guidelines for the weekly market at Sunset Center, has entered into a 2013 performance agreement with the Forest Theater Guild for 2013 performances.

CAPITAL PROJECTS
Vehicle acquisition: The Fiscal Year 2012-2013 budget includes $386,077 for vehicle lease payments ($301,077) and purchases ($85,000). The new patrol vehicle has been delivered and is in service. The new Public Works vehicle has been delivered and is in service. The parking enforcement vehicle (budgeted last fiscal year) is pending delivery. The police administration vehicle has been purchased and is in service. The paint truck is on a maintenance hold and a new vehicle is included in the fiscal year 2013-14 proposed budget. If approved by the City Council street painting and marking will occur this summer. ASBS Dry Weather Diversion: This storm drain runoff project has the goal of eliminating dry weather flows to the beach. Engineering has designed improvements and the awarding of the construction contract will be on an upcoming City Council agenda. Work is anticipated to occur primarily in Fall 2013. Alerting System: This is a grant funded project and grant applications have been submitted and are under review. This important project will need commence in the fourth quarter regardless of grant funding determination. Rio Park Improvements: During the first quarter the City Council held a community workshop on Rio Park. Additional ongoing funding will need to be identified. The immediate task coming out of the workshop was to secure a pedestrian pathway from Rio Road to the intersection of Lasuen Road and Dolores Street. Design of the pathway is underway and adjacent landowners have expressed a willingness to cooperate with bringing the project to fruition. Interface for patrol audio/video equipment: The project is complete. Auto downloading of audio and video data is proving more efficient with an improved chain of evidence control. Mobile data terminal software and installation: This project was applied to the new police patrol vehicle and equipment has been installed. Testing of the effectiveness of the equipment is being completed prior to full vehicle fleet installation. Self contained breathing apparatus: This is a grant funded project and grant applications have been awarded. Staff is completing equipment acquisition research.

Third Quarter FY 12-13 Performance Report

Del Mar Master plan projects: The design has been approved by the City Council and the grant awarded. The construction contract was awarded for the boardwalk and San Antonio pathway. The pathway portion of the project is nearly complete. Interpretive signage will be added to the boardwalk area prior to fiscal year end. Additional sidewalk upgrades, part of the original design but beyond the original scope of funding, are being considered to improve connectivity and aesthetics and will be completed within available funding constraints. The dune project in conjunction with the Carmel Garden Club is substantially complete. Forest Theater Renovation: The City has submitted two grant applications and is searching for additional foundation opportunities for the Forest Theater renovation. Funding would enable a planning process to occur to identify a renovation project and phasing. Street and Road projects: The annual street and road construction project is complete as approved by the City Council in the Capital Improvement Plan. Sunset Center roof repairs: A leak detection contractor is available for immediate response. There was insufficient saturation during the third quarter to identify leak location; identifying necessary repairs requires active leaking and/or saturation. Scheduling of the diagnostic work will occur as weather permits and an alternative, less comprehensive, repair approach is now being completed to facilitate the repairs. Some patching has been completed and will be completed as needed on an ongoing basis.

About this report format: This report is produced quarterly to improve transparency and accessibility of the City of Carmel-by-the-Seas fiscal position and operations. Popular financial reporting, such as this document, is to provide financial data in a form that is not confusing or discouraging to those unfamiliar with accounting and financial reporting. It is not enough that reports are written. People must be able to access them, read them, and understand them if government transparency and community engagement is to have meaning. Fiscal transparency can be defined to involve ready access to reliable, comprehensive, timely, understandable, and comparable information on the Citys activities. With a user friendly, less technical discussion of City finances, the report is our way of showing the taxpaying public the value of their tax dollar and accomplishments of the City on the publics behalf. These reports are prepared quarterly and distributed in August, November, February, and May so the information can be used for effective public participation and enhanced accountability.
