CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers DATE: February 16, 2021 THROUGH: Kathleen S. Trepa, City Manager FROM: Shelly A. Gunby, Director of Financial Management SUBJECT: Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council receive the 2019-2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).

BACKGROUND: Every year the City of Winters has an independent audit performed by an outside auditing firm. The audit was performed by Van Landt and Fankhenal LLP for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. Upon completion of the audit, a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, or CAFR is prepared by staff and the auditors to provide useful financial information for the City Council, staff and the public regarding the operations of the City of Winters.

This year’s CAFR contains information about factors affecting the financial condition of the City, the effect of the economy on our ability to adhere to certain financial policies, information about capital projects and information about the awards that have been received by the City. This information is contained in the transmittal letter.

Included in the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section is a discussion prepared by staff about the financial highlights for the year, a guide to the financial statements, analysis of the Government Wide Financial Statements and Governmental Activities, other major funds, budgetary highlights, capital and debt administration and economic factors impacting future budgets.

Page 26 of the report includes the Balance Sheet for the Governmental Funds of the City of Winters; these are all funds except for the Water and Sewer Funds and the Trust Funds

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Regular City of Winters Council Meeting via Zoom February 16, 2021 for the former redevelopment agency.

The Balance Sheet for the General Fund includes the following items:

Description

Revenue in Excess of

Expenditures Fund BalanceGeneral Fund (616,338.42) (111,380.04) Community Development Dept 277,204.58 (860,328.41) Fireworks 16,813.19 5,206.22 Senior Fund Donations 16.38 378.11 Winters Swim 40.68 1,822.95 Park Maintenance Committee 492.34 2,867.32 Koda Camp (1,034.34) 11,681.57 ASP Tuition 149,714.22 205,525.08 Canine Program 1,304.43 2,356.35 Police Cadet Program (70.88) 3,506.23 Community Garden 807.56 1,090.51 Covid-19 Relief Fund (3,898.03) (3,898.03) General Fund Capital 10,657.56 504,455.47 Capital Equipment Replacement 26,496.00 454,001.36 Service Reserve Fund (252,301.42) 812,629.11 General Plan Deficit 24,260.77 (313,758.80) General Debt Service 1,230.23 60,536.89 Total (364,605.15) 776,691.89

The budget document prepared for the 2020-2021 year projected a total expenditure in excess of revenues (in other words a deficit) for the General Fund of $491,377. This projected deficit was for just the General Fund and the Community Development Department (top two-line items above). Per the chart above, actual expenditures in excess of revenues for these two funds is $339,134. These results are better than projected by $152, 243. While the deficit is lower than expected, and required use of accumulated reserve balances, less reserve balance was required than originally projected. Expenditures were in excess of revenues for a few reasons, most notably the reduction in both the amount of Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax projected. Sales tax received for FY 19-20 was $63,354 less than the amount collected in FY 18-19 and the TOT was $213,927 less than projected for FY 19-20. Other taxes received in FY 19-20 were less than budgeted by $41,843. Revenue reductions realized were $319,124 of the $339,134 expenditures in excess of revenues. The 2020-2021 budget made significant adjustments in revenue projections and in the expenditure budgets of all departments in the General Fund to balance the budget. The impact of the Covid-19 stay at home orders had clear direct impacts and resulted in reduced Sales Tax and TOT revenues.

8

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Regular City of Winters Council Meeting via Zoom February 16, 2021 The other funds that are combined into the General Fund for Financial Reporting purposes are included in the General Fund category because those items are not restricted by law for their use, but, rather restricted for use by decisions made by the City Council, or for ease of determining how a particular program is performing over time.

Included in the CAFR is Note 9 on page 53-55, Post-Retirement Health Insurance Benefits. The City of Winters provides retired employees the opportunity to continue their health insurance with CALPERS. When a retiree elects to continue their health insurance coverage with CALPERS, a portion of the cost is paid by the City of Winters. For 2019 this amount was $136 per month per employee, for 2020 the amount is $139 per month per employee. Prior to the 2017-2018 CAFR, the City implemented and reported based on GASB 45 (Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement number 45). GASB 45 requires that the City calculate the estimated liability to provide this benefit to employees. In 2018-2019 the City of Winters implemented GASB Statement number 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits other than Pensions. The City engaged an OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits) actuarial to provide the required calculations and information as required under GASB 75. The assumptions used to provide the OPEB liability are detailed on Page 55.

The result of the actuarial is an increase in the OPEB liability from the prior year. Under the Plan Description on page 54, the note references a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of Statement 75. The City Council adopted a Policy on Pension and OPEB Liabilities in 2019 that was amended December 17, 2019. Staff executed an agreement with PARS for the administration of a OPEB trust and will make the first contributions from the Water and Sewer funds per the policy based on the results of the 2019-2020 audit. The anticipated amount for the contribution for the current year is $55,217.65 from the Water O&M fund 611 and $840.30 from the Sewer O &M fund 621 and will be made before 6/30/21 per the Pension and OPEB Policy. No contributions from the General Fund will be made due to the use of reserves for funding operations for FY 19-20 as discussed above.

Note 10 on page 56-59 discusses the CALPERS Defined Benefit Pension Plan as of June 30, 2017. Pension Reform, known as PEPRA began in January 2013. We have new tiers of retirement for any new CALPERS members, and all new CALPERS members must pay 50% of the normal cost of the defined benefit plan. The City has changed some of our recruitment information based on whether potential employees are current CALPERS members or not. Beginning in 2018 the City may require existing employees to pay 50% of the normal cost of the defined benefit plan. This will impact salary and benefit negotiations with employees in the future. The City Council adopted a Policy on Pension and OPEB Liabilities in 2019 that was amended December 17, 2019. Staff made the first ADP, or Additional Discretionary Payment of $55,217.65 from the Water O & M Fund 621 and $840.30 from the Sewer O & M Fund 621 per our Police on Pension and OPEB liabilities. No contributions from the General Fund will be made due to the use of reserves for funding operations for 19-20 as discussed above.

9

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Regular City of Winters Council Meeting via Zoom February 16, 2021 The CAFR includes a comparison of the proposed budget to actual results for certain funds. These are called Major Funds and in 2019-2020 the City had two Governmental (not Water and Sewer) major funds, the General Fund and The Revolving Loan Fund (which is a combination of 5 funds grouped together). The Revolving Loan Fund had a fund balance of $1,475,204 as of 6-30-20. The actual to budget information for the General Fund can be found on page 63. The original budget projected a ($34,570) change in fund balance, mid-year budget adjustments were made, the projected change in fund balance was $24,870, and the actual change in fund balance from operations was ($364,603). The Budgeted amount included funds 101-General Fund and fund 102-Community Development. The actual change in fund balance for these two funds was ($339,134) or $364,004 less than budgeted. The difference in the budgeted amount and the final result is discussed immediately below the table above. The decrease in fund balance of $364,603 is similar to the use of a savings account to continue to pay for expenses that continue to occur. Additional economic development needs to be implemented in order for the revenues of the City to be at a level to sustain, and hopefully, expand services provided to the community.

Page 72-87 shows the results of the various special revenue funds operated by the City. The first column includes information on the City-Wide Assessment District. This fund is responsible for funding the costs of the services performed to maintain all of the parks within the City. Currently the fund is operating at a deficit, and this deficit is subsidized by the General Fund. The Stone’s Throw project is currently constructing a park in that subdivision and, along with the recently completed Walnut Park and the completion of the Putah Creek Nature Trail, significant new service requirements have been added for park maintenance. Funding for park maintenance is now $82.50 per residential unit per year, and $41.25 per non-residential unit per year. Currently there is no anticipated increase in the rate per unit. Without additional funding sources, the General Fund will continue to subsidize park maintenance. The subsidy from the General Fund to the City-Wide Assessment District for FY 2019-2020 was $108,461.

Beginning on page 119, the Statistical Section compares results for the prior 10 years for various operations. These are required to be provided in specific formats. Page 125 compares the Governmental Fund Balances for the last 10 years; the story of the General Fund is a continual reduction in fund balance from 2012 to present. This shows the impact of using our “savings” account to continue operations. This also shows that while we prepared for the economic “slowdown” by committing to reserve fund balances, we now need to look to increasing fund balances in the future to be prepared for the next “slowdown”. Construction activity for entitled projects will provide some financial benefit, and hoped-for economic improvements as the economy rebounds from the pandemic will also help. However, structurally, the City’s operating budget is out of alignment and fiscal stability must be a high priority.

Page 130 shows the fluctuation in General Fund tax revenues of the City. The impact of the increase in the Utility User tax in 2010-2011 is clear in the Other Taxes column. Also illustrated is the impact of the housing values in the decrease of property taxes from a

10

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Regular City of Winters Council Meeting via Zoom February 16, 2021 high in 2009 of $1,395,538 to the 2010 amount of $1,121,922, a 19% decrease in one year. We are now rebounding from the 2011 low, but still see some volatility in property taxes as 2017 receipts were 2% lower than 2016 but increased significantly in 2018 due to the new homes added by the Winters Ranch Subdivision. The new homes helped increase the assessed value in the 2018-2019 fiscal year by 5% over 2017-2018. The homes added by the Stone’s Throw and Heartland Subdivisions increased the assessed value of property by 11% and Property Tax Revenues by 10%. The impact of Covid—19 stay at home orders and business closures is clearly shown in the reduction from 2018-2019 to 2019-2020 revenues.

Page 120 and 121 show the changes in net position over the past 10 years. The information is comprised in three (3) sections, Governmental Funds, Business Type Funds, and total Primary Government (all funds). Governmental Funds shows a change in Net position from $20,499,134 in 2011 to $37,451,136 in 2020. This can be somewhat deceptive due to the fact that included in the Governmental Funds are all the special revenue funds, and most especially Grant Funds. The use of Grant Funds typically has a negative impact on the Governmental Fund Balances. This is due to the fact that most Grants are handled on a reimbursement basis; that is, the City advances the funds to pay for the services that are grant funded, and then is reimbursed from the Grant for the amounts advanced. This means that most of the time, until the grant is completed, we have always paid more out for grant projects than we have received.

Please note the increase in Net Position of Governmental Activities invested in Capital Assets. In 2011 the amount was $8,699,018 compared to $30,235,484 in 2020. This reflects the City’s investment in buildings, streets and other infrastructure and long-term capital assets. Restricted Net position is the amount that is restricted for use, in most cases, due to grant funding. This includes grants and Revolving Loan funds from grant funded loan repayments.

Business Type Funds are the Water and Sewer Funds which are run more like a business activity with fees for service as the revenue source. These funds also show an increase in investment in Capital Assets. In the Water Fund this includes new wells and water pipes and other long term improvements to the water system; in the Sewer Fund it includes new sewer lift stations, sewer pipes and improvements to the overall wastewater treatment facility as well as other long term improvements to the sewer system.

Page 132 includes information on Assessed Values for the last 10 years, and clearly shows how assessed values were reduced with the housing crisis, and the associated foreclosures and are now beginning to rebound and actually have exceeded the 2010 assessed values beginning in 2020. This is because of the new housing that has been built in recent years outside of the former redevelopment project area. The assessed values in the former redevelopment project area have increased significantly in the last few years. This is due to the sale of property formerly held by the former Redevelopment Agency to private persons/developers for development, and the build out of the Winters Ranch subdivision, which was completely inside the former project area. Once property

11

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Regular City of Winters Council Meeting via Zoom February 16, 2021

transfers from the former Redevelopment Agency or Successor Agency to a private individual or company, it becomes subject to property taxes once again. As development is undertaken and improvements are made, such as homes and/or businesses such as hotels and offices are completed, the assessed value increases and provides additional ongoing property tax revenues to the City of Winters.

The CAFR (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) is posted on the City of Winters website for the public to have access to read and review. The address is http://www.cityofwinters.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/2020CAFR-FY-Winters.pdf

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers DATE: February 16, 2021 THROUGH: Kathleen Salguero Trepa, City Manager FROM: Shelly A. Gunby, Director of Financial Management/City Treasurer SUBJECT: City of Winters Treasurer Report for December 2020

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the City of Winters Treasurer Report for December 2020.

BACKGROUND: The City of Winters financial policy requires monthly reports regarding receipts, disbursement and fund balances be submitted to the City Council for review. Unfortunately, due to staffing changes, the report to the City Council has been delayed. Items of note in the attached report are as follows:

General Fund: General Fund revenues are 27% of budgeted (similar to the 28% of budget received by December 31, 2019); the following items affect the cash flows into the General Fund.

• The first installment of Property Tax was received in late January 2021, earlyreview indicates that revenues will be very close to that projected, although itappears that revenues will be somewhat higher than projected, but not significantlymore. This information will be included in the January Treasurer Report.

• The first installment of Property Tax in lieu of VLF was received in late January2021 and revenues will be $32,000 higher than projected. This information will beincluded in the January Treasurer Report.

• Sales and use taxes are remitted to the City two (2) months after they are receivedby the State Board of Equalization. We have received 26% of projected revenues.Early review with HdL indicates that revenues will be approximately as projected.

13

City of Winters Treasurer Report for December 2020 Regular City of Winters Council Meeting via Zoom February 16, 2021

• Utility User Tax is received approximately 1-3 months after the utilities are used;UUT receipts are 48% of the budgeted amount.

• Building permit fees received are 83% of the budgeted amount, significantnumbers of building permits have been issued during the first 6 months of the fiscalyear and it appears that building permit fees will meet and/or exceed projections.

• General Fund expenditures are 61% of budget, mostly because we take advantageof paying the entire unfunded liability invoice for the year in July of each year tosave 7.0% on the amount that we pay to CalPERS each year, a small step towardslimiting the growth of the unfunded liability for the City. These expenditures alsoinclude the payment of the entire liability insurance premiums for the fiscal year.

Other funds:

Fund 211 City Wide Assessment District: The first installment of the City-Wide Assessment was received in late January 2021 at the same time that we received the property tax distribution from Yolo County. Current estimates are that actual amounts should be approximately what was projected. More information will be included in the January 2021 Treasurer report.

Fund 611 Water: Water fund revenues are 57% of budget and expenditures are 48% of budget.

Fund 621 Sewer: Sewer fund revenues are 52% of budget and expenditures are 53% of budget.

FISCAL IMPACT: None

Unfunded Employee Benefit Liabilities Regular City of Winters Council Meeting February 16, 2021

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers DATE: February 16, 2021 THROUGH: Kathleen Salguero Trepa, City Manager FROM: Shelly A. Gunby, Director of Financial Management SUBJECT: Unfunded Employee Benefit Liabilities

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council receive the following information regarding the unfunded liabilities of the City of Winters and provide any input or direction.

The intent of this report is to provide current information regarding the City’s unfunded employee related liabilities, consistent with policy direction previously provided by the City Council.

BACKGROUND: A critical issue facing local governments throughout the State has been the looming costs of retirement benefits and unfunded pension liabilities. From a fiscal management standpoint, it is critical to address these issues in an incremental and proactive manner to avoid or contain future impacts. The ways to do this are through the following:

• Identify potential future liabilities and establish strategies for reducing or eliminating themearly, which results in cost savings.

• Enact or modify policies that prevent the escalation of liabilities, thereby reducing futurecosts.

• Establish funding strategies to reduce the impacts of future fluctuations in costs to protectthe City from volatility; ensure the maintenance of benefits and reduce the impact of futurepayment obligations.

• Develop a predictable and constant funding strategy, utilizing fiscal funding andforecasting models, which informs more accurate cost allocation methodologies.

20

Unfunded Employee Benefit Liabilities Regular City of Winters Council Meeting February 16, 2021 The City of Winters currently has 3 unfunded employee-related liability categories.

1. Accrued leave balances (also known as compensated absences)2. Post-employment benefits3. Net pension liability

Accrued leave balances are the amount of vacation and compensatory time earned that remains unused during the fiscal year. Typically, we calculate the value of that unused time at the end of each fiscal year. The dollar amount of the accrued leave balance is calculated by the number of hours unused as leave, and the pay rate of the individual employee.

Post-employment benefits are the CalPERS required minimum payment for retiree health insurance. The City of Winters allows retired employees to continue health insurance coverage under their CalPERS policy, with the understanding that the City will only pay the mandated minimum payment, and the employee will pay all the remaining costs of the insurance. This liability is calculated by the number of retired employees electing to remain covered under the CalPERS policy, and the rate CalPERS selects as the minimum required amount, which is currently $143 per month.

Net pension liability is the amount by which CalPERS has determined, through an actuarial process, the City of Winters is underfunded on each of the 6 retirement plans the City of Winters has in place. The amount of the liability is affected by the earnings on investment of funds invested by CalPERS, the amount of payroll on which contributions are made, and the pay rate of employees.

City Staff has already begun to implement policies that, in time, will limit the amount of these liabilities. (Attachment 1).

Accrued Leave Balances Vacation is a compensable benefit for which employees accrue leave throughout the fiscal year based on years of service with the City. Until 2016, the City had not set caps on maximum accrual, which facilitated the accumulation of balances that in turn represented outstanding liabilities which are due and payable upon the termination of employment by the employee. Leave accruals presented a couple of issues:

• Leave accruals are mostly unfunded and not budgeted, except through annual salaryprojections and budgeting. Unless termination occurs, employees will receive paid leavewithin the scope of existing work periods and the existing budget. Excessive accrual oremployees simply not taking vacation creates significant unfunded liabilities unlesscapped.

• Individual leave accruals create a progressive increase in overall employee costs due tochanges in compensation levels. While an accrual may occur when an employee isearning one rate of pay, the cash out may occur at a significantly higher rate, thus creatinga compounding of costs.

• The combination of accrual and increases in payroll can create a significant impact to Cityfinances when an employee terminates employment.

• The City has many long tenured employees whose vacation accrual amountsnecessitated the need for a solution to excessive accrual balances.

21

Unfunded Employee Benefit Liabilities Regular City of Winters Council Meeting February 16, 2021

In 2016, the first Council policy change was incorporated into all Memoranda of Understandings (MOUs) approved by all employee associations and by the City Council effective October 2015, that capped vacation accruals to 500 hours for each employee at the end of each fiscal year.

In addition, in Fiscal Year 2015-16, the City paid off existing employee balances above 500 hours to reduce the unfunded burden at 2015 pay rates. Additionally, the City has initiated a cap on accrual for all staff, and encourages the use of vacation leave during the fiscal year. Otherwise, any accrued balances above the 500-hour cap is eliminated at fiscal year-end.

The net benefit was reducing the unfunded accruals through the pay off at lower pay scales using one-time revenues, thus paying down the liabilities at a reduced rate, while simultaneously capping future accrual amounts. By doing this, the unfunded liability for the accrued leave balance as of June 30, 2016 was $467,462.00 instead of a projected $653,595.10. The amount of Compensated Absences decreased from $559,521 on June 30, 2019 to $512,276 on June 30, 2020, an 8% reduction. This reduction in liability is a result of adhering to our new polices and MOU provisions.

Additionally, management is monitoring the use of the vacation time and requiring that all employees take a minimum of 5 consecutive days of vacation time. Adhering to this policy will help control the amount of unused leave time liability, which accrues on the City balance sheet.

Unused Compensated time off in lieu of overtime (Comp Time) is another area that creates an unfunded liability for the City of Winters. Employees are allowed to have overtime worked compensated as paid overtime or as accrued comp time (paid time off). Changes to the MOU’s for the 2019-2020 fiscal year forward have allowed the City to further reduce unfunded liabilities. Most of the MOU’s have a limit on the amount of comp time that can be accrued and available at any given time. Management has been monitoring these balances more closely and not allowing the accrued comp time to exceed the limits set forth in the various MOU’s. Beginning in 2019-2020, for all employee associations except the Winters Police Officer Association (WPOA), all overtime worked is paid at the time the overtime is earned and not allowed to be accrued as Comp Time. This process keeps the cost of the service tied to the time period the service was provided. It also helps to limit unfunded liabilities. For the WPOA, there is a provision in the MOU that Comp Time be paid out every June to prevent the excess accumulation of Comp Time and the escalation in the amount due for accrued balances based on future pay rates, more closely aligning the cost of the payroll with the time period in which it was incurred. Strict adherence to the above time limits and payment provisions on accrued Comp Time balances will help manage the unfunded liabilities for the City of Winters.

Other Post-employment Benefits (OPEB) “Other post-employment benefits” are payments, other than pension, which accrue to persons who have retired from the City of Winters as members of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS). Unlike some other cities, in Winters, the only post-employment benefit is a mandated contribution by the City toward health benefits as required by our participation in the CalPERS Health Program.

22

Unfunded Employee Benefit Liabilities Regular City of Winters Council Meeting February 16, 2021 As a member of the CalPERS Health Program, the City provides health benefits for employees and their families. Upon retirement, employees may choose to continue coverage under the City’s group medical plan. CalPERS requires that the City make a minimum contribution toward retiree medical premiums, and the retiree pays the difference. The City has elected to contribute the minimum contribution, which is currently $143 per month, per retiree.

These post-employment benefit amounts are predictable. Annual cost is determined by the number of retired employees and the rate that CalPERS sets for the minimum monthly amount. Currently the yearly amount is $13,728 for 8 retired employees. The City pays the current year premiums monthly (known as “pay as you go”) to CalPERS and has recently approved a Section 115 Trust to fund future premiums. Payments into the fund will be made from the Water and Sewer fund for Water and Sewer Division employees, per the City’s adopted policy now that all the documents are in place.

This liability is comprised of an actuarial computation that looks at each individual employee and applies certain actuarial statistics and values to that employee to create an estimate of future retiree health insurance costs will be. Currently, the estimated annual amount necessary to adequately fund future retiree health insurance costs is approximately $27,400.

Now that the Pension and OPEB Policy has been approved by the City Council and the Section 115 Trust Documents are now completed, staff will include yearly contributions based on the OPEB policy in future budgets as a standard payment to provide funding for future retiree health contributions.

Net Pension Liability The final piece of the unfunded liability issue is the liability for the CalPERS retirement plan. All full-time employees are members of the CalPERS retirement system. As a result, CalPERS charges employees and employers a contribution rate that is supposed to be sufficient to fund the cost of paying the retirement benefits to the employees when they retire.

The City of Winters has 7 active CalPERS plans. Based on the most recent valuation (as of June 30, 2019) by CalPERS, the chart below shows the plan, the employer rate for 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, including the yearly payment for the unfunded liability. The table also has the estimated unfunded liability as of June 30, 2019, the percent of the plan funded and the estimated cost to pay off the unfunded liability using one of 3 amortization periods.

Unfunded Employee Benefit Liabilities Regular City of Winters Council Meeting February 16, 2021

The plans are evaluated at the end of each year, and the unfunded liability is adjusted each year depending on the following factors:

1. Any deviation from the estimated discount (earnings rate) to the actual earningsrate on investment of plan assets. A lower rate of return than expected will causean increase in the unfunded liability whereas a higher rate of return will cause adecrease in the unfunded liability.

2. Any deviation in the payroll. When CalPERS sets the rate for each year, itestimates what the payroll in each plan will be, if raises are given, then thatincreases the unfunded liability, because a certain amount of payroll was used todetermine what the future needs are for paying the retired employees.

3. Changes in assumptions in developing the unfunded liability. In past years, suchchanges have included lowering the discount rate from 7.75% to 7.0% andchanging the demographics used to calculate funding needed for paying out retireebenefits to reflect the fact that people are living longer.

In 2016 the CalPERS board voted to lower the discount rate from 7.5% to 7.0% over the next 3 years, for 2017-2018 the discount rate was reduced to 7.5%, in 2018-2019 it was reduced to 7.375% and in 2019-2020 it was reduced to 7.25% and in 2020-2021 the discount rate is 7.0%. CalPERS made these changes so that estimated earnings would more closely align with actual earnings over the past years.

In 2016, lowering the discount rate was estimated to have the following impact on employer contributions and unfunded liability:

• Safety Plan rates to increase by 2%-5% of Payroll• Miscellaneous Plan rates to increase by 1%-3% of payroll• Unfunded liability to increase by 30%-40%.

To date, factoring staffing changes, the unfunded liability has increased from $3,031,447 to $5,943,668 from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2019, an increase of $2,912,221, an increase 49%.

Strategic/Long Term Solutions to protect the future: One element of the recent retirement benefit changes implemented after the Great Recession which will significantly impact future costs, is the creation of new retirement programs for new PERS employees (referred to as PEPRA), which leads to the incremental loss of participants contributing towards retirement costs for the “Classic” plans. Thus, an agency’s liability for retirees covered by “Classic” plans will be higher and will only incrementally reduce themselves as retirees die and the “Classic” plans are no longer applicable.

The key has been to identify strategies to help fund the future liabilities before they

25

Unfunded Employee Benefit Liabilities Regular City of Winters Council Meeting February 16, 2021 become impacted and cost more over a longer term.

The City has adopted a Pension and OPEB Policy to provide a long-term solution for easing the impacts of future pension liabilities now because the costs are significantly less and will generate considerable savings over time.

The concept is similar to expediting a home mortgage, where a household makes additional payments of principal on the loan. By doing so, you can pay off a 30-year mortgage sooner, with considerable savings on interest costs.

The Pension and OPEB Policy is a strategic solution to begin an increased and incremental funding solution, which helps “smooth” future impacts by pre-funding known future costs. The City’s policy is to allocate future costs within existing allocation programs, thus pre-funding future payments. This will spread and fund future costs over a significantly longer time period, lessening impacts on the future and establishing a constant funding source. The result will be a lower cost; gradual funding which inevitably will reduce liabilities and stabilize pension costs for the future.

In many respects, we will begin funding the future costs for current employees now instead of later, thus avoid “kicking the can down the road”.

Exploring Possibilities: Staff has met with CalPERS representatives regarding several possibilities for addressing the unfunded liabilities facing the City.

The conversation included the following areas: 1. For those plans with very small projected unfunded liabilities, we have discussed

paying the unfunded liability in full each year. While this might seem to be a smallstep, it would help control the growth of the unfunded liability and allow the city topay the total unfunded liability annually as part of the budget process. Staff hasmade an additional payment for the Miscellaneous PEPRA Plan as well as a smallcontribution to the Miscellaneous Classic Plan from the Water and Sewer fundsper our Pension and OPEB Policy document. Only the Miscellaneous Plans couldbe funded because all employees of the Water and Sewer Funds are members ofeither the Miscellaneous Classic plan or the Miscellaneous PEPRA plan. Theplans with the smallest unfunded liability are:

a. Police PEPRAb. Fire PEPRAc. Miscellaneous PEPRAd. Police Tier 2

The total for these four plans is approximately $122,138. Payments were made in November 2020 to pay the full unfunded liability of the Miscellaneous PEPRA of $38,369 and Miscellaneous Classic of $17,689, for a total of $56,058 in Additional Discretionary Employer Contributions. These amounts are not reflected in the table above, as the payments were made after receiving the reports in July 2020, but we

26

Unfunded Employee Benefit Liabilities Regular City of Winters Council Meeting February 16, 2021

should see the impact of the additional payments on the reports we receive in July 2021 setting the rates for future years. For those plans with a larger, but still manageable, amount of unfunded liability, the goal is to pay those off over a much shorter period than 15 years. This would be the Fire Classic plan, which we hope to be able to pay off in 5 years or less, and then move to a yearly payoff similar to that of the plans included in item 1.

2. The Miscellaneous Classic and the Police Classic plans have extremely highunfunded liabilities that will take much more thought and dedication in order to paydown this amount. There are a few options that we can discuss with the actuary.

a. Staff examined the various possibilities that CalPERS offers. This includedconsidering electing to decrease the amortization period or electing “a freshstart” approach, which would tie us into a new amortization period. Aftercareful consideration staff did not recommend this method, and with theadvent of the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting economic impact to the City,this appears to have been a wise decision, as it would have increased thepayment required during a time of decreasing revenues.

b. Staff has previously recommended using a portion of any new funding fromeconomic development activities to make additional yearly payments todecrease the unfunded liability set forth in the schedule and policystatements in the Pension and OPEB Policy document. For example, aportion of the new TOT received by Hotel Winters and the Fairfield Inn,when open, would be contributed to reducing the unfunded liability. Theamount of these contributions would be determined by the City Councilbased on year-end operating results. Committing to this approach will allowflexibility for unexpected events such as the Covid-19 pandemic andresulting economic stress.

Regardless of the policies put into place, and the additional payments made, the unfunded liability will never be zero. The amount changes every year, and decisions are made by the CalPERS board that are out of our control. However, getting policies and plans in place will allow the City of Winters to address this issue sooner rather than later, and should prevent the City of Winters from having catastrophic increases in rates and unfunded liability payments in the future. The above policies and plan will help put the City on a stronger financial footing, maintain city services for the citizens of the City of Winters, and fulfill the City’s retirement obligations to the staff that have served the Winters community for many years.

FISCAL IMPACT: The impact of various employee related liabilities is detailed throughout the report. There is no proposed Council action that results in a calculated fiscal impact.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers DATE: February 16, 2021 FROM: Kathleen Salguero Trepa, City Manager SUBJECT: Consider Providing Direction to Staff Regarding the Development of

Cannabis Regulations

RECOMMENDATION Consider providing direction to staff regarding the development of cannabis regulations.

BACKGROUND In November 2016, California voters passed Proposition 64, entitled the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), which basically legalized non-medical, adult use marijuana and established a statewide licensing structure for commercial non-medical marijuana uses, which has since been modified as the statewide regulations have evolved.

On November 7, 2017, the City Council introduced and adopted Ordinance No. 2017-07 amending the Municipal Code, Chapter 17, Zoning Ordinance) to prohibit outdoor cultivation and commercial cannabis activities within the City of Winters. Indoor cultivation of up to six plants for personal use is permitted under State law. A link to the staff report related to Ordinance No. 2017-07 is available here; the report begins on page 48 of the packet.

Since the passage of Proposition 64, and various State laws related to cannabis, cities and counties have undertaken a wide array of regulations to either permit some or all cannabis related activities or ban them outright, as the City of Winters did in 2017.

Cannabis activities that are regulated under State law, and by local agencies if permitted, include a variety of license types, generally described as follows:

Dispensary/Retailer: Businesses that engage in the retail sale of cannabis and cannabis products. This license also allows for deliveries in addition to a brick and mortar storefront.

28

Manufacturing: There are two types of manufacturing license types. One manufacturing license uses volatile solvents, while the other license does not. The state will limit the number of licenses that use volatile solvents in the manufacturing process.

Testing: Laboratories that test cannabis and cannabis products.

Cultivation: Commercial cultivation licenses vary depending on size of grow, and the types of light that are used.

Microbusiness: Allows for vertical integration, inclusive of cultivation in an area less than 10,000 square feet, nonvolatile manufacturing and dispensing.

Distributor: Dedicated solely to the storage and distribution of products from the cultivators and/or manufacturers to dispensaries.

Transporter: Transporters of cannabis and cannabis products between licensed activities. In Yolo County, the City of Winters is the only agency to not allow any form of cannabis activities, other than in the indoor cultivation of up to six plants for personal use as allowed by State law. The chart below provides an overview of permitted and banned activities within Yolo County.

Agency Retail Distribution Manufacturing Testing Commercial Cultivation

Yolo County No No No No Yes Davis Yes Yes Yes Yes No Woodland No Yes Yes Yes No W. Sacramento No Yes Yes Yes Yes / indoor

City Pop County Williams 5,643 Colusa Dixon 18,351 Solano American Canyon 19,454 Napa Benicia 26,997 Solano Suisun City 28,211 Solano

As a point of reference, the table above is a brief list of nearby small cities that also permit some form of commercial cannabis activity, while there are others that do not. The revenue generated by commercial cannabis activities typically varies by agency and by type of activity and can include a retail tax (approved by the voters), a fixed percentage of gross proceeds, or a negotiated community benefit, the latter two approved by the City Council. As a point of reference, a retail dispensary can generate approximately $250,000 - $350,000 in revenue for a local agency; for the five dispensaries in operation in the City ofDavis, Davis estimates approximately $1.5 million in annual revenue. The City of Winters isa smaller community; therefore, one might assume a lower annual threshold in terms ofpotential revenue to the City.

29

Consider Providing Direction to Staff Regarding Development of Cannabis Regulations Regular City of Winters Council Meeting via Zoom February 16, 2021 Approved cannabis businesses are typically subject to a stringent licensing process that includes defined conditions that include physical improvements like lighting, security doors, and other features, a safety plan, monitoring and inspection program, background and financial checks, and other measures to ensure the operation meets land use, licensing, and other code requirements. Deposits are required to cover the staff and consultant time necessary to evaluate permit applications, and annual licensing fees are also relatively high to cover the extra work associated with monitoring business activity. Agencies that have chosen to allow cannabis activity have done so following a robust process to develop regulations, which always includes a community engagement effort.

DISCUSSION: On January 18, 2021 the City Council and City Manager received an electronic letter (Attachment 1) from the Winters Downtown Business Association (WDBA) and Winters Chamber of Commerce requesting that the City consider re-evaluating Ordinance No. 2017-07, which banned commercial cannabis activities within the City of Winters. The interest in discussing potentially allowing cannabis activities relate to increased revenue to the City, additional jobs, diversifying the City’s revenue base, and reducing emissions for local consumers who currently travel to other locations to purchase cannabis products, whether for adult or medical use.

If the community and the City Council were interested in considering developing cannabis regulations, the City would need to retain a consultant to coordinate this effort. The three primary areas that need to be addressed relate to:

• Land Use: determining what cannabis activities would be able to locate where, throughmodifications to the General Plan land use / zoning designations or with an overlayzone, including how many businesses would be allowed by type.

• Licensing: determining what requirements would need to be met in order to receive alicense or permit to operate. Typically, these include safety plans, inspection andmonitoring plans, cash handling protocols, and other measures. This would alsoinclude whether cannabis businesses are solicited through a Request for Proposalprocess or if licenses are awarded on a first come / first served basis for applicationsthat are certified complete.

• Financial: determining revenue methods and opportunities, such as taxation, licensing fees, or community benefit agreements. Some cities negotiate community benefitagreement or require a fixed percentage of gross proceeds, such as 4-6%.

The potential timeline for such an effort will depend on how strategic the effort is, or broad, and what type of approval process the Council would like to consider for licensing businesses. A bilingual community engagement process would need to be incorporated into the consulting services for developing the regulations. In addition, currently the State of California has waived environmental review for cannabis activities, which expires June 30, 2021. If that waiver is not extended, as it has been previously, the environmental review associated with

30

Consider Providing Direction to Staff Regarding Development of Cannabis Regulations Regular City of Winters Council Meeting via Zoom February 16, 2021 evaluating draft cannabis regulations will add time and cost.

In terms of process, a consultant would need to be retained through a Request for Proposal and a scope of work agreed to for Council consideration and contract award. That scope would include a bilingual community engagement effort that would include online surveys, public presentations, and direct outreach to potentially impacted property owners and businesses, for example if retail were considered in the downtown area. Land use regulations would be prepared and presented to the Planning Commission and City Council. The City Council would also consider licensing requirements and revenue options.

Based on some initial consultation with planning industry professionals, the estimated timeline to develop cannabis regulations could be six months to a year and cost $40,000 at the very low end up to $80,000 for a streamlined, focused effort, not including environmental review. There is no budget available this fiscal year to cover the cost of this effort, and minimal Planning staff support available to help oversee the project. If the City Council is interested in considering cannabis regulations, funds would need to be included in the budget for next fiscal year, which is presently being developed for Council consideration in June.

Conversely, the City could consider accepting contributions from cannabis industry advocates or businesses, much the way developers can cover the cost of specific planning work. The City would retain the consultant and control the project; the cannabis industry financial contributions would be at the contributor’s risk with no guarantee that regulations would be approved or any sort of permit or license would be issued to any particular business. To assist with facilitating a discussion during the Council meeting, staff has provided the following questions for Council to consider:

1. Is there an interest in developing cannabis regulations for one or more license types(retail, distribution, testing, manufacturing, et al)?

2. If so, what types of activities or priority for developing those regulations?3. Would Council consider allowing cannabis industry contributions to fund the

development of those regulations or instead direct staff to include a budget of $80,000in next year’s budget?

4. Would Council like additional community input through online surveys to better assesscommunity feedback regarding cannabis regulations before providing additionaldirection to staff?

FISCAL IMPACT: The cost to retain a consultant to develop regulations will vary depending on scope, and would cost between $40,000 to $80,000, not including environmental review, for a streamlined, focused process. A more accurate cost estimate would be developed following a Request for Proposal process to retain a consultant. Should the Council so authorize, these costs could be potentially offset by cannabis industry contributions. The potential revenue from a cannabis business would depend on the method of exacting revenue (tax, community benefit agreement, fixed percentage or license fee). If a dispensary were to generate annual revenue of $250,000, which is the low end of the City of Davis

benchmark, the cost to develop the regulations would be recovered in the first year of operation. A more accurate estimate of potential revenue would be developed as part of finalizing draft regulations.

Cannabis in the City of Winters

The Winters Downtown Business Association (WDBA) & The Winters District Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) is requesting the City of Winters reevaluate its ordinance (17.205.030)*** which prohibits commercial cannabis activity in the city. The WDBA & Chamber would like the City to investigate

options for locating cannabis-based businesses within the City of Winters. We believe the topic of commercial cannabis activity should be evaluated publicly at a city-wide level with a wide range of public input, we believe cannabis-based businesses could benefit the City, and working with the City’s

economic development team we would like the opportunity to investigate these options. The WDBA & Chamber believes the benefits of cannabis-based businesses include, increase in revenue to the city, additional jobs within the city, increase in business diversification, and reduced emissions for local

consumers currently traveling to purchase cannabis products. We would like the opportunity to be a part of the public discussion to consider if commercial cannabis has a place in the economy of the City of

Winters in the future.

Sincerely,

Chris Turkovich
