TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: TALIKA M. JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
DATE: MARCH 2, 2020
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2019-20 GENERAL FUND MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW
AND ADJUSTMENTS
BACKGROUND:
This report provides the City Council a mid-year budget and financial update for the General
Fund Fiscal Year 2019-20 adopted budget in preparation for the upcoming budget process. The
report also makes recommendations for budget amendments, both to estimated revenues and
expenditures for the current budget year.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1)Receive, review and file Fiscal Year 2019-20 second quarter budget-to-actual report
ending December 31, 2019; and
2)Adopt Resolution No. 2020-C07 approving the listed proposed budget amendments;
and
3) Approve a $150,000 amendment for Transtech Engineers, Inc. PO 032223 to continue
plan checking consulting services.
ANALYSIS:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20 budget was adopted on June 17, 2019 with a projected General
Fund budget deficit of $2.1 million (excluding carry forward projects from the FY 2018-19
budget year and other adjustments). Public safety, general government, internal support services,

community resources, such as youth and senior recreational services and library activities, and
parks and facilities maintenance services make up the majority of the General Fund budget.
While the City has a diverse revenue base, current General Fund budget forecasts project deficits
ranging from $1.3 to $2.7 million annually in fiscal years 2021 through 2024. Staff has been
diligent in presenting to Council strategies to mitigate impacts of projected deficits for guidance
on how to best address the forecasted shortfalls.
Through ongoing fiscal sustainability exercises, Staff: identified and implemented operational
efficiencies and cost cutting measures resulting in $324,000 in annual savings; identified a
revenue enhancement opportunity which is estimated to result in annual revenue increases of up
to $1 million over the next five years; and proposed placement of a three-quarter cent (3/4¢)
sales tax measure (Measure Z) on the March 3, 2020 ballot for voter consideration, which if
passed, would generate an additional $4.5 million in direct local returns to the City of Azusa.
During the annual budget preparation process, Staff utilizes the best information available at the
time to inform Council and request appropriations to provide the most efficient and cost effective
services to the Community. While budget proposals adopted are based on best available
presumptions, presentation of the mid-year budget review is to identify and explain fiscal
impacts to the Council and to seek direction with respect to both the remainder of the current
fiscal year and preparation of the budget for the upcoming year.
Attached for review is the second quarter financial report for FY 2019-20 ending December 31,
2019 for the major non-utility funds to provide the City Council and public an update on the
City’s financial position. Included in the report are the statuses of the General Fund, Gas Tax and
Fire Safety Special Revenue Funds, Sewer Enterprise Fund, and Risk Management/Liability and
Information Technology Internal Services Funds. However, not included in this report are Staff
recommendations for mid-year budget adjustments to the General Fund. Those recommended
changes are discussed further in this report.
General Fund Budget Overview:
The General Fund adopted budget projected a deficit of $2.1 million. Adoption of the annual
budget includes resolutions which allows Staff to carry forward remaining budget amounts for
projects and major activities not completed in the prior year. Carryovers from FY 2018/19 into
FY 2019/20 amounted to $912,477. Additionally, throughout the budget year, needs and
priorities may result in amendments to the budget, in both, revenues and expenses. Altogether,
the adopted budget, budget carryovers, periodic amendments within Staff authority, and
recommended mid-year adjustments (if adopted by Council) result in a projected budget deficit
of $2.1 million.
While most of the General Fund revenues (“Revenues”) and expenditures (“Expenditures”) are
on track to achieve its budget, there are some Revenues and Expenditures budgets that will need
to be adjusted. The following net budget adjustments totaling an increase to projected reserves of
$815,720 are recommended:

March 2, 2020
Page 3
Revenue Highlights
Overall, a $134,280 decrease in adopted revenues is anticipated. Revenues contributing to the
projected adjustments are: 1) parking citation volumes continue to be steady with the onboard of
a parking enforcement contractor; 2) City owned commercial property, Promenade, has been in
negotiations for a long–term lease(s). A long-term tenant has been secured, but negotiations took
longer than anticipated; 3) interest rates and cash balances have steadily increased, thus yielding
higher earnings; 4) plan check revenues are lower than budgeted, but revenues are higher than
contract service costs; 5) permits from building and public works projects activities are pacing
lower than budgeted; and 6) relocation of L&G Crushing, a mining company, has land
excavation taxes pacing lower than anticipated.
Expenditure Highlights
Based on the analysis of mid-year expenditures, Staff proposes a net decrease in General Fund
budgeted expenditures for a total of $950,000 for two budget line items:
1. Salary and Benefits Savings - There are positions funded by the General Fund that remain
unfilled or have been partially unfilled in the current year resulting in net salary savings.
Staff has identified approximately $1.1 million in estimated savings from vacancies. This
amount includes savings from temporarily freezing positions and restructuring
departments.
2. Plan Checking – In June of 2019 Council awarded consulting contracts to both Transtech
and Wildan for contract plan review and inspection services. The annual amounts

awarded were specifically $90k to Transtech and $60k to Willdan, with the agreements
expiring on June 30, 2021. While plan check volume hasn't necessarily increased, the
bulk of expenditures have come from a vacancy in the Building Inspector series. Due to
departure of the Building Inspector II, and difficulty finding qualified inspectors industry-
wide, the City has had to rely on contracted inspection services to fill the void. The City
originally envisioned using the contract(s) for standard plan check services, but only
using them on an as needed basis for inspection services (ex: city inspector on vacation,
large project, etc.). However, consulting services may need to be used longer than
anticipated, as both cities and consulting firms are having difficulty finding qualified
inspectors. Currently, firms either have overly qualified, or under qualified inspectors,
not a large talent pool at the Inspector II level. An amendment of $150,000 for the
Trantech contract is needed to keep up with the demand of plan checks. Revenues from
plan check services are sufficient to cover the cost of consultant activities.
Based upon the direction received from Council, Staff will prepare necessary actions to
implement any changes.
Reserves Overview and Future Budget Considerations
The General Fund Reserve Policy consists of four categories to mitigate risk in high liability
exposure areas: 1) Budget Stabilization and Catastrophic Event (15% of budget or $6.3 million);
2) Capital and Infrastructure Replacement ($1.5 million); 3) Insurance ($1.0 million); and 4)
Retiree Benefits ($1.5 million). City Council authorization is required for use of these reserves.
Recommended mid-year adjustments forecasts and ending available reserve balance of $11.4
million. Fiscal Year 2019-20 Mid-Year expenditure projections includes cost savings measures
implemented in the current year amounting to $324,000.
Table 1: Five-Year Budget Forecast and Reserves Analysis
Deficit spending means the City must tap into reserves to bridge revenue shortfalls. In addition to
a budget policy, the City has a General Fund Reserve Policy which is used as a benchmark tool
to assess financial performance. The recommended amended budget, with a status quo revenue
base, projects reserves will be over the $10.6 million target by $790,354 in the current year.
However, future year projections forecasts reserves being below target by $2.1 to $6.7 million
annually.

Addressing forecasted budget deficits requires consideration of the following options which can
be implemented individually or as a combination based upon Council input and policy direction:
1) Using reserves on hand
2) Making budget cuts
3) Enhancing revenues, including consideration of voter-approved local funding options
In order to maintain targeted reserve levels in accordance with the adopted policy, revenues will
either need to be increased or significant service cuts will need to be considered. On an ongoing
basis, Staff has performed and presented to Council findings from a budget sustainability
assessment in which all three of the aforementioned options have been examined and applied:
• Reserves on hand are being used to stabilize the current year budget.
• Staff identified and implemented operational efficiencies and cost cutting ideas which
included freezing a vacant position in the City Manager’s office and restructuring the
Finance and Human Resources departments into one department, resulting in $324,000 in
annual savings.
• Staff identified a revenue enhancement opportunity (an increase to the City’s hazardous
materials facilities tax rate) which is estimated to result in annual revenue increases of up
to $1 million over the next five years.
• After engaging the Azusa Community on their service needs and priorities, Council
approved placement of a three-quarter cent (3/4¢) sales tax measure (Measure Z) on the
March 3, 2020 ballot for voter consideration, which if passed, would generate
approximately an additional $4.5 million in direct local returns to the City of Azusa to
address community identified priorities including:
o Continuing police anti-gang enforcement programs
o Addressing homelessness
o Maintaining police patrols of neighborhood schools
o Maintaining police patrols of neighborhoods, parks and recreations areas
o Preventing reductions to police officer staffing levels
o Maintaining city services
o Repairing streets and potholes
Although passage of Measure Z would bridge the projected budget deficits and help mitigate the
potential need to reduce services to Azusa residents, as a contingency Staff began to explore
options to reduce Department budgets by six to ten percent or $2.7 - $4.6 million. On January
21st, Staff presented potential budget reduction options to Council totaling $3.5 million, which
would otherwise not be recommended in light of sufficient revenues being available to sustain
current operations. Potential recommendations included, reductions to: emergency service
personnel; youth and senior programming; library services; development activities; and
maintenance of City facilities.
Staff has begun the FY 2020-21 budget development process and will return to Council at a
special study session to receive direction and guidance for the budget adoption process.

including an increase in revenues in the amount of $134,280 and a decrease in expenditures in
the amount $950,000. Adoption of recommended mid-year adjustments results in an estimated
budget deficit of $2.1 million, on par with the adopted projected budget deficit.
Fiscal Year 2019-20 budget, including recommended mid-year adjustments, is expected to result
in an estimated $11.4 million ending available fund balance, including activities from internally

2019/20 Quarterly Financial Report
Second Quarter, Ending December 31, 2019
OVERVIEW
This financial report summarizes the City’s General Fund’s position for the 2nd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2019/20 (July
1, 2019 through December 31, 2019). Also, included are the major Special Revenue Funds: Gas Tax and Fire
Safety; the Sewer Fund; and the major Internal Services Funds: Risk Management/Liability and Information
Technology. The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council, City Management, and the Azusa community
with an update on the City’s fiscal status based on the most recent financial information available.
GENERAL FUND SUMMARY
With the 2nd quarter’s revised data, the projection through the end of the fiscal year for total sources (revenues and
transfers-in) are estimated at $44,829,100, and is higher than the adopted revenue amount by $74,000 due to the
addition of the Measure H grant. Total uses (expenditures and transfers-out) are estimated to be $912,477 higher
than the adopted budget of $46,871,180, primarily due to FY 2018-19 carry forward budgets for: capital equipment
replacement projects equaling $622,847; Economic and Community Development projects costs relating to
Planning and Economic Development activities of $210,528; and Police IT software for $20,500. The increase in
the revised budget from adoption also includes: Measure H grant required matching costs of $79,900; other
homelessness related activities of $50,000; the addition of the coyote outreach program of $10,000; and interfund
loan interest expense adjustment of $30,523 as a result of higher interest rate returns than anticipated. Table 1

While revenue sources are anticipated to be fairly consistent with the forecast, the 2nd quarter’s revenues
provided limited meaningful data that can identify trends for the full year projection. As we progress further
into the 2019/20 fiscal year, revenues and expenditures will be closely monitored and an update will be provided
to Council if there are any material data that will impact the full year revenue budget.

Property Tax collections are low which is normal due to the timing of the revenue allocation by the County
of Los Angeles Auditor Controller Tax Division. The majority of the property tax collections are received
in four payments in December, January, April and May of each calendar year.
Sales Tax collections are at 27.0% of the adjusted budget. The main reason for the low rate of collection is
due to the timing of when the revenues are available. The City will not receive the November and December
2019 tax revenues from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration until January and February
of 2020 respectively.
Utility User’s Tax collections are at 43.0% of the adjusted budget. This percentage is reflective of the
consumption of utility services such as gas, electric and water, which was lower than expected due to cooler
weather patterns.
Other Taxes collections are at 42.3% of the adjusted budget. Other taxes are comprised mainly of
franchise, land excavation, material recovery facility, and hazardous waste fees. Some revenues are calculated
and collected after the quarter has ended. Timing of payments is the main reason for collections being under
the 50% mark.
Charges for Services collections are at 39.8% of the adjusted budget. Revenues are collected as services
are rendered.
Cost reimbursement collections are at 54.0% of the adjusted budget. Revenues are collected based on
various grant reimbursement agreements.
Fines and Penalties collections are at 65.1% of the adjusted budget. Second quarter revenues are pacing
higher primarily due to timing of when the revenues are transmitted and recognized by the City. With the
assistance of an external vendor, parking enforcement and motor vehicle ticketing activities are anticipated to
pace higher than budget for the rest of the fiscal year. In addition, the Police Department was successful in its
effort to collect some past due franchise tow fees from previous years that will be reflected in our financial
reports later on in the fiscal year.
License and Permits collections are at 47.6% of the adjusted budget. Miscellaneous fees for Planning,
Building Permits and Public Works fees collected are on par with first quarter projection, and the timing of
various development projects played a role in the percentage collected.
Miscellaneous collections are at 73% of the adjusted budget. Second quarter revenues are pacing high
primarily due to the timing of when the City will receive the revenues, but is expected to on par with budget
forecasts.
Money and Property Use collections are at 73.8% of the adjusted budget. Revenues are pacing higher than
anticipated due to higher interest income earnings than expected as a result of higher investment rates.
Revenues in the category as expected to exceed original budget projections.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
General Fund expenditures are tracking close to the anticipated 50% second quarter mark.
Expenditures by Category
as of 12/31/19
The expenditures outlined in Table 4 are pacing in line with the 2nd quarter budget at 48.7% of budget. The
second quarter expenditures in Table 5 compared to the same period last year was higher by $1.6 million
primarily due to the increased CalPERS costs and timely booking of internal services costs. Overall, the
General Fund expenditures are at 48.7% or $23.3 million of the adjusted budget of $47.8 million. When
comparing the Q2 FY 2019/20 expenditures with the same period last year, it is $3.09 M higher. The General
Fund expenditures are pacing higher primarily due to the timing of lump-sum payments made to CalPERS, the
City’s insurance premiums which are due at the beginning of the fiscal year, and the summer recreation
programs costs paid in the summer months.
DEPARTMENT EXPENDITURES
At the end of the 2nd quarter, most departments are tracking close to the 50% mark or below of the adjusted
budget. Some expenses are paid in the beginning of the year such as Recreation seasonal staff and the lump-
sum CalPERS payment for Public Safety as mentioned earlier.
