CITY MEASURE S OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE APPROVING A REPORT ON
MEASURE S FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023
City Manager Wier gave an overview of FY 22-23 budget recommendations. For Crescent City
Fire and Rescue there was a large departure from budget-to-actual. For Crescent City Police,
the numbers were closest to the budget-to-actual. Three vehicles were purchased, as well as
radios, lockers, capital improvement projects, and a forensic cellphone analyzer. The analyzer
has been invaluable for CCPD; Chief Griffin stated that they are going down south to where a
suspect is and use the analyzer down there. They have assisted several agencies with this
piece of equipment. He further reported that because of the crimes being investigated by
CCPD, he has created a Cyber Crimes Unit. Vice-Chair Shamblin asked if the analyzer was
software; Chief Griffin said it is both software and hardware. Chairman Perry said by having this
equipment is making this community safer; Chief Griffin stated that this analyzer has recently
identified a suspect on a crime against children. They were able to purchase the analyzer
because the part-time Records Clerk was removed from the budget. Regarding Streets, City
Manager Wier went over all of the work done to the roads with Measure S Funds. For Fred
Endert Municipal Pool, the flooring is in the budget but hasn’t been done yet. Vice-Chair
Shamblin asked if the funds in Measure S budget had been expended; Finance Director Leaver
stated it had. Director Yeager stated that the air system will be bid on the 23rd and the floor’s
bidding will be May 7th. Also in the budget was chemical storage tanks, chlorine and PH
sensors, ADA door, heating sensor, online reservation system (which has been very useful to
the community), the slide was also repaired. The difference in this budget is due to timing of
hiring staff, actual costs of benefits, and costs of purchases there was a difference in the
budget-to-actual versus what was budgeted. Finance Director Leaver went over the budget-to-
actual explaining that there was a slight difference in wages and costs. The fire department is
budgeted at a full expense, but the District ends up paying the City, so the money goes back.
For the fire department, the initial budget was to have Fire Captains for a full year, but it was
pushed back to the end of the year and ended up being one pay period. The money that was
budgeted was rolled over for other priorities. The equipment has a zero net expenditure
because they were not received before the end of the fiscal year. All money that does not get
spent in Measure S, stays in that budget and then staff comes back before the Committee.
CCPD’s difference in budget-to-actual is that the radios were a zero-expense due to them being
received the next fiscal year. Streets showed potholes and sidewalk repair line items ended up
not being done in that fiscal year as staff was focused on Front Street and Harding Avenue, the
funds were rolled over. The other expenses were close to what was budgeted. The Pool’s
expenses had very little change from what was budgeted. For the independent audit, HDL
audited the State records to make sure businesses are paying the Measure S funds to the City
and gives the CIty sales tax projections. For FY 22-23 the reimbursement is $81,967 and the
balance of the budget is $1,141,510. The audit was performed by Badawi & Associates, and
they found no concerns over the Measure S budget. For the Committee to review tonight is the
FY22/23 Annual Report. Director Leaver went over what the Annual Report contained for
2|Page
3/1/23 MEASURE S AGENDA
FY22/23. It was estimated for $2.2 million with the actual being $2.4; the final expense budget
was $2.6 of which we spent $1.4. Chairman Perry asked about the $941k; Director Leaver
explained that it is the difference between what was spent and what was budgeted. The City
Council adopted the budget with the recommendations from the Measure S Oversight
Committee. Finance Director Leaver stated that the City Council chose, however, to fund the
part-time Records Clerk for CCPD through the General Fund (GF). Committee Member Reno
asked if the part-time position for CCPD was going to be continued to be funded by the GF;
Director Leaver stated it will. She stated that when there is a project that will cross over multiple
years, the money goes into a CIP fund so from a Measure S perspective, when the Committee
recommends and the Council approves, the money gets transferred into the CIP which makes it
the Measure S expense and sits there until the project happens. The Committee has been
provided with a list of all of those transfers. Chairman Perry stated that the key is transferred
into the CIP to make it easier to transfer to the contractor but that any leftover money is back
into Measure S budget. Vice-Chair Shamblin asked why the funds just can’t be left in Measure
S; Director Leaver said when it’s left in the fund, it has to be budgeted every year; the actual
expenses are not known. By putting it in the CIP, the project can be funded over the year. The
leftover money can then be rebudgeted. Director Yeager said it is a CIP for each project
separately to make the expenses trackable. The Fire Vehicle Replacement Fund, funds are put
in annually – as of $136k as of June 30th and the intention is to replace Engine 10, but it will
take a long time because engines are very expensive. For CCPD, we currently have only spent
$21k for patrol cars but there is still one vehicle needing to be purchased; Chief Griffin
confirmed it was one vehicle, it has been purchased, but due to a hurricane on the east coast, it
has not been received. For the Pool, $513k from Measure S, there is still $438k last FY and
more this year. For the pool flooring project – the $130k is sitting in the fund and will be this FY.
Funds were budgeted for fire hall improvements, next year’s budget will have this discussed as
there is a project chosen now. For CCPD, the design project has been done and will be out to
bid late Summer.
Committee Member Tinkler joined the meeting at 6:24 p.m.
Chairman Perry stated that the first line on page 2 of the FY 22/23 Annual Report reads
“Measure S funds are intended to fund public safety, streets, and financial oversight of Measure
S Funds”. Chairman Perry stated it is necessary to clarify that Measure S Funds are not
replacing funds, it augments funds. Would like to change the language so it is clearer to the
public. City Attorney Rice stated that the suggestion is good and that technically the funds can
be used for any GF expense legally. It is important that it is clear that it is not being used in that
fashion. City Manager Wier asked if it the first line should read “intended to fund public safety,
streets, swimming pool oversight” and the second statement to read “the recommendations are
intended to augment”; the Committee was in consensus to accept that change in the language.
Vice-Chair Shamblin asked for the number to be corrected under Fire $628,865.
On a motion by Committee Member Reno, seconded by Committee Member Shamblin, and
carried unanimously on a 4-0 polled vote, the Measure S Oversight Committee approved
and adopted Resolution No. MS 2024-01, A RESOLUTION OF THE CRESCENT CITY
MEASURE S OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE APPROVING A REPORT ON MEASURE S
FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023; with the wording and dollar amount changes.

3/1/23 MEASURE S AGENDA
City Manager Wier stated that if there are any recommendations for Pebble Beach Drive, it will
come back before the Committee as it was not on the agenda. He went over the Measure S
Balance for FY 23/24. $544,957 was budgeted, as the year goes on the actual numbers will be
known better; $738k is what is projected for the Measure S Budget. City Manager Wier then went
over the five-year plan. For Fire, there are a few changes – the SCBA budget – there is $100k
budgeted that we are looking to have rolled over. Chief Carey gave the Committee accolades for
their transparency and making sure the funds were being used properly. For the SCBAs, there
is more purchase power to get quotes by rolling over this fund. The realistic rollout to firefighters
safer. Chairman Perry asked how long it would be rolled over; Chief Carey stated they will be
incorporating waiting on the grant and only $100k of Measure S funds will be used. The grant
has 46 SCBAs with a total cost of $200k in savings. If we pick up the grant, it will make the money
go a long way. Without the grant, we can purchase 30-40. Committee Member Reno said by
rolling it over we can get them by Fall; Chief Carey agreed. Vice-Chair Shamblin asked where
the $200k is now; City Manager Wier stated it is $100k this year and $100k next year. He also
stated that if there is a year we would get the grant, it would be this year. Chief Carey said the
Grant Specialist was working directly with Crescent City Fire and Rescue (CCFR). Director Leaver
said there are two tracks for the SCBA purchase; in addition, we are budgeting $32,500 is set
aside per year for a mutual-fund so when this set cycles out, there is funding already there to buy
replacements. Chairman Perry asked if the SCBAs get damaged; Chief Carey said they do from
training, crawling around, etc. The SCBAs we will purchase are more lightweight and are
technologically better. HDL says revenues will stay the same at $2.3million. City Manager Wier
stated that by budgeting conservatively, it will result in a net positive in five years. For FY 24/25
for the fire department – for staffing, it is lower than what was expected. It will be budgeted to
$30k instead of $50k; there will be budget for $20k for tools with the available funding. Chief
Carey stated there are tools desperately needed such as nozzles. There are many items in the
Department that are out of compliance. Fittings, nozzles, rescue equipment. Director Leaver
stated there is a list of what the $20k will fund to include traffic cones and safety vests. Committee
Tinkler asked why the staffing is reduced, are people not hirable; Chief Carey stated this is on the
volunteer side, getting volunteers is not easy as they have to stay at the station and with jobs,
that’s not possible. Chief Carey said our volunteers are doing a great job and keep the department
running. He doesn’t feel budgeting for this line is the best use of Measure S funds. Vice-Chair
Shamblin asked how many volunteers there are; Chief Carey stated there are a total of 45,
however about 20 that answer several calls. $417k for Captains, $15k for training – which alot
are status quo budget; volunteer recruitment and retention; a rescue rope is a new ask – Chief
Carey said it has to be logged and maintained – it's actual lives on the rope line and the current
one is more than 10 years old; the new one will have a truck lift. The most recent need is training
- this will help our firefighters to be better equipped to fight fires and respond to incidents. Every
member of the department will get continuing education. City Manager Wier stated that there is
not as much in the budget as originally budgeted for the training. $10k of the $20 goes to the rope
rescue and $10k goes to radio. Chief Carey said radios are the biggest need. For the Command
rig, there are often 4 radios on different channels, however, there are not enough radios to have
that many now. This funding will get us a start to get more for the rigs. City Manager Wier stated
that turnouts are needed $50k budgeted every year to get us into and keep us in compliance;
$25k is in CIP for the turnout fund. Chief Carey stated that a grant was received, and we were
able to double the turnout purchase. Chair Perry asked if the training is via software; Chief Carey
stated that the modules are online and the initial cost is $15k, then $7-8k per year. Director Leaver
stated that the projection for the next 4 years is $8k per year for ongoing needs. Vice-Chair
Shamblin asked why inflation is not included in the numbers; Director Leaver stated that neither
is revenue, these are all current time expenses. Vice-Chair Shamblin asked if salary increases
are included in the Measure S funds or GF; Director Leaver stated that only the Fire Captains are
fully funded by Measure S. The reason the 5-year plan comes back to the Committee annually
is due to inflation. Vice-Chair Shamblin stated that the current 5-year Plan shows that the budget
will have to be cut, wouldn’t have voted for this unless it was reviewed on an annual basis. City
Manager Wier stated $98k for an apparatus is budgeted. Staff wanted to budget for a new
apparatus aggressively as the engines are in desperate need of replacement. Engine 10 and
4|Page
3/1/23 MEASURE S AGENDA
Truck 81 are the main focus for replacement. $90k will be combined to last year’s $98k for a multi-
purpose vehicle. Finance Director Leaver stated there $324k set aside in the Fire Vehicle
Replacement Fund. City Manager Wier stated that the Chief’s Command Vehicle is in need of
replacement and a USDA grant has been applied for $50k. If we receive the grant, the City Station
has some improvement needs such as an exhaust system in the garage. Take some from the
CIP combined with that funding, there may be enough to fund the system, but it is all contingent
on the grant. Chairman Perry asked if the ventilation system through the roof; Chief Carey said
yes, there are certain requirements of height over the roof. Chair Perry warned to make sure the
roof can handle it. City Manager Wier said that of the budget, some of these are partially funded
by the District. Director Leaver stated that some of these things might change as staff is still
working through the City budget, but this should be reasonably close. City Manager Wier stated
that the Fire Chief salary and the Administrative Assistant are not funded by Measure S, that is
jointly funded by the City’s GF and the District.
City Manager Wier reported the five-year plan for CCPD. The budget will include a 3rd officer
reallocation for other priorities for this year. There are still the same amount of officers on patrol.
Portion of the Celebrite analyzer is $3,500 for two years. He would like the trailer to cover it, but
to also allow it to be used as a mobile transport. Chief Griffin reported that an enclosed trailer for
the UTV is needed for $10k. The trailer would also have radios so it can be a mobile command
center and it will be a regular pull-behind trailer. Chief Griffin stated that the UTV was covered by
the Office of Emergency services; Chair Perry asked what a UTV is; Chief Griffin stated it has
seats on the front and none in the back; it is also outfitted with lights, siren and Department
identifying decals. The cost of the trailer will not be a full $10k, it just allows him some flexibility
to equip it for a command unit. City Manager Wier stated that with facility improvements, there
was a bit of a snag in the Geotechnical inspection. Director Yeager said the bid set will occur
mid-August. Early November for the bid to go out. For the design piece, USDA loan is being
sought. Director Leaver is also in discussions with Urban Futures. USDA loan is a 4% interest
rate. Currently, we have 6 new police vehicles and the newest one, the K9 Supervisor rig arrived
today. It is planned to have a new vehicle every year, and since we have 6 new ones now, we
can skip a year if we need to; the School Resource Officer is funded by the ABC Grant at 70%.
There is no funding this year for a new officer, funding is put in the out-years; body cameras,
tasers, and dash cameras are in the budget. Eight have been installed in vehicles currently. Chief
Griffin stated that the camera turns on for speed, if the officer pulls their gun, activates their taser,
a crash, or if lights and sirens are turned on. There is a camera that faces the suspect and one
facing the officer. He reported he can log in to any of the camera to monitor the activity. It was
currently put in use when an officer got into a fight and didn’t know where he was, couldn’t radio
for help because of the fight – Chief Griffin was able to log in, find his location and send assistance.
The DA’s office has full access to the camera footage. Vice Chair Shamblin asked about the $40k
annually; Chief Griffin stated it is for the evidence storage contract for the dash cameras, body
cameras and the technical support and updates. Vice-Chair Shamblin stated that he felt it was
very expensive; Chief Griffin agreed but said that these are the best in the business and well
worth the expense. The evidence collection is invaluable. There was a $25million lawsuit that
due to the use of cameras, it saved the lawsuit. Committee Member Tinkler said that once we
have the third officer, there won’t be more funding needed; Chief Griffin said no, we are budgeted
for 15 and have 14 currently. The body camera footage has allowed CCPD to be completely
transparent. Chief Griffin gave an example of a time when he had forgotten to turn on his body
camera, and this one turned on automatically. Witnesses of a crime can upload their personal
videos to this cloud-based evidence storage. The $110k is going to the utility trailer, cellphone
analyzer, and non-contact substance analyzer. The second K9 as well as a third K9, is an ongoing
cost of $8k a year. The third K9 arrived last week and are currently in training now. K9 Murtaugh
is with handler Officer Sperling. For debt service, $90k is budgeted, but may be closer to $120-
130k. There will be no debt service in this year, however it will be in next year. Slightly negative
given the budget-to-actual, but it is close. Director Leaver stated that she would feel more
comfortable with the $90k in the budget until staff hears from USDA. It is up to the Committee to
decide if they want to put it in. City Manager Wier stated it could be used as set aside. Committee

Member Reno asked if the GF has anything in it for PD building funds, or is Measure S expected
to fully pay for the debt service. City Manager Wier stated that it hasn’t been done in the past but
can be reviewed. Vice-Chair Shamblin asked about the budget for $80k vehicle replacement, why
is it this amount, especially since we just purchased 6. Chief Griffin stated that the most recent
quote for a new rig fully outfitted is $79k. Vice-Chair Shamblin stated that since 6 has already
been purchased do we need to buy one every year and the budget should be $40k; City Manager
Wier explained what the ChP recommends for patrol cars. Chairman Perry agrees with the debt
service and thinks leaving it in is a better choice. Committee Member Tinkler asked about the
$80k and if it included the full package; Chief Griffin stated that everything except for the decals.
The plan to replace them every 10 years is because 10k miles are put on the vehicles annually.
It doesn’t need to be $80k every year. Chief Griffin stated that the “new” vehicles are used
vehicles and he got a good deal on them all. Vice-Chair Shamblin stated that he just wanted it to
be clear to the public of what is moving forward. $513k is the PD budget.
The Pool is identical to this year’s budget. It has an additional supervisor and more lifeguards.
There will be a VFD pump, so there is a little hold on it until we get the bids. There will be a
remote monitor for the chemicals for the pool. Pool operation costs are going up, but the budget
is not. This budget is being kept status quo, and Measure S has given invaluable funding.
Chairman Perry asked about the projects; City Manager Wier stated they are the HVAC, flooring
and the pool deck which is in the CIP. Vice-Chair Shamblin asked about the Operations Budget
for $325k for this year and what it will come to; Director Leaver stated it will be close as it covers
staffing, electricity and propane, and the online reservation system, which will probably take the
full budget as it is projected to be spent. If we go over budget, the City’s GF picks up the overage.
City Manager Wier stated that the key components of the $50k will come back.
City Manager Wier reported to the Committee the budget for streets. Some money was able to
be rolled over - $175k potholes, $180k sidewalks, $68,345 for striping. There has been striping
done all over town, A Street, Cooper, Northcrest and around the schools. Ther have been small
patchwork and paving done on K Street and Cooper in the Fall; Director Yeager 29 locations
throughout – 20 square feet of patching. 5th and G will be done tomorrow. There is $87k in
potholes remaining. For sidewalks, there has been work done at Joe Hamilton School and some
trip hazards fixed. Director Yeager stated that last Fall, 150 spots were done and this year there
will be another 150 spots budgeted for. There is $600k left in the budget and there are several
projects that can be considered.
Regarding the Pebble Beach project, which cannot be discussed tonight, do we hold these funds
until we know about funding? It is still unknown if it can be funded by Office of Emergency
Services (OES) funds. Do we have another meeting to discuss this funding. City Manager Wier
stated that since Committee Member Tinkler lives right by the slide there potentially could be a
conflict of interest; City Attorney Rice said that since this is street maintenance and repair and not
a new street, it does not apply to conflict to interest and Committee Member Tinkler’s decision to
vote on it or not. CIty Manager Wier stated that we may hear soon about the funding and we can
agendize this and have a more in depth discussion about it. Our options are limited for cash flow
in regards to Pebble Beach. There is some funding from local funds – to get the road back, there
would be a lot of sacrifices that would need to be made. This will cost several million dollars – it's
a large stretch and by only fixing a portion, there is the risk of the rest of the road continuing to
fall. Chair Perry asked the status of the project; City Manager Wier stated $32million has been
approved at a State level for the project. The design aspect of it is done. It is 97% funded – 88
½% funded by State Roads, CalTrans 75% of the 12%; the City would be responsible for $1million
of the project if everything goes smoothly. There are no Coastal Development permits – they
have been applied for, but there have been additional requests from the Coastal Commission for
more information. They are concerned about the permanent fix. The funding is not ready for us
– it is called advanced construction. You finish the project, then they go to Congress to get
reimbursed. The City will need to come up with $32million to then wait 2-3 years to be reimbursed.
OES funds are in the same boat – it is 100% reimbursable, but the same process as the other
6|Page
3/1/23 MEASURE S AGENDA
funding. There is a bridge loan, however, since it is unknown about getting the money, no bank
would loan that. Committee Member asked why funding was approved if we don’t know if we can
get the money; Director Leaver stated the project is approved, not the funding. Chair Perry asked
what the total cost of the project; Director Yeager $2.5-3million is the cost of the whole project.
Who is doing the design; Director Yeager said the same company that is doing the Geotechnical
testing. Director Leaver asked if the Committee wants to have this on the next agenda for full
discussion? Committee Member Reno wants to see this agendized as working with the Coastal
Commission takes years. Chairman Perry said that Pebble Beach Drive is critical to the
community. Asked if the Coastal Commission is pushing back on the repair; City Manager Wier
stated that the current micro-pile wall is approved, but the whole protection for the bottom of the
wall is something they are not in favor of. Committee Member Tinkler said that the transparency
for the use of Measure S funds is necessary for the public. Does not want any rash decisions
made on this project wants to make sure the funding is being used for what it was said it would
be used for such as road repair, potholes, etc. Does not approve Measure S funds being used for
Pebble Beach repair. City Manager Wier stated that it depends on the funding available and
appreciates where Committee Member Tinkler come from. Committee Member Tinkler said social
media and the paper should have an article explaining to the public what the status of Pebble
Beach Drive is. Chairman Perry asked what would be given up on pothole repair; City Manager
Wier stated that can be brought back. Director Yeager said there are decisions on what roads to
fix if you were to have $32million. Chairman Perry said he was looking for a high visibility project
such as the end of A Street. Director Yeager said that large patch paving can be done on two
half sections of A Street, 7th and 8th. The second “s” curve can also be done. Chairman Perry
asked what the $200k was used for; Director Yeager said some safety projects have been done.
Chairman Perry asked if potholes or paving take more time? Director Yeager stated it is more
efficient to do a larger project. Vice-Chair Shamblin asked about showcasing projects; Director
Yeager stated that improving streets before they get worse. CIty Manager Wier stated that
projects can be put together with costs associated. Chairman Perry asked about residential
streets with low activity, would a slurry work? Director Yeager said you are lengthening the life,
not repairing the road. A large enough project is what needs to be done. City Manager Wier
stated that this summer, CalTrans is doing a micro-seal project. Director Yeager said doing the
travel area works well. Vice-Chair Shamblin stated that the streets in LA and San Bernadino are
just as bad as up here. City Manager Wier stated before Measure S, there was no budget for
streets and why they are so bad.
City Manager Wier stated that bringing back the approval of budget recommendations. Bringing
back a resolution with the costs in the PD and Fire budget to get clear direction from the
Committee. Vice-Chair Shamblin wanted to stress the importance of including inflation in the
costs.
Chair Perry asked about the fronting of $75 for Front Street; City Manager Wier said Front Street
has 9 funding sources. One of the funds is CRRSAA – which was allocated to Front Street.
Senator Huffman $750k for the next block. G to I Street was funded by multiple funding sources.
The next block I to Play – CalTrans said you can’t use the funds on an already bid project. Now
$500k has to be set out and bid it out separate and have two projects go out at the same time.
CalTrans broke precedent with another community and called the City and said they can get on
board. Director Yeager said this will happen in May. City Manager Wier said the project is funded
to the dollar, with no contingency. The Council directed staff to come before the Committee to
get the $75k fund approved. Committee Member Reno asked if this money can go back in if it’s
not used; City Manager Wier stated yes. Chairman Perry asked if the City needs the Committee
to approve the $75k or don’t they have the authority to just approve it? City Manager Wier stated
the Council values the Measure S Oversight Committee and wants to have a recommendation
from them. City Manager Wier stated there is another grant for $3million which will do pedestrian
improvements from Play Street to the highway. We have conditionally been awarded the
$3million, so we have the $6million to do the blocks. It will also include a full rebuild on 2nd and K
Street. This funding will finish Front Street.

COMMITTEE
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: APRIL 30, 2024
SUBJECT: FY23/24 AND FY24/25 EXPENDITURE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
MEASURE S FUNDS
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff presentation
• Technical questions from the Committee
• Receive public comment
• Further Committee discussion
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. MS2024-02, A RESOLUTION OF THE
CRESCENT CITY MEASURE S OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AMENDING THE
RECOMMENDED EXPENDITURES OF MEASURE S FUNDS FOR FY 23/24
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. MS2024-03, A RESOLUTION OF THE
CRESCENT CITY MEASURE S OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDING
EXPENDITURES OF MEASURE S FUNDS FOR FY 24/25
BACKGROUND
In 2021, the Measure S Oversight Committee met on the following dates and heard the
needs on the accompanying topics to develop a five-year plan and the recommended
budget for FY 21/22:
• February 25, 2021 – Crescent City Police Department
• March 9, 2021 – Streets
• March 29, 2021 – Crescent City Fire and Rescue
• April 12, 2021 – Fred Endert Municipal Pool
• April 26, 2021 – FY 21/22 Summary Presentation
This 5-year plan has been the basis for the Measure S recommended expenditures for
the past three fiscal years (21/22, 22/23 and 23/24). Over the course of these fiscal years,
the Measure S Committee met multiple times to discuss updated revenue projections,
2
FY 24/25 Measure S Expenditure Recommendations 2
April 30, 2024
current expenditures, and additional needs of the Police Department, Fire Department,
Pool, and Streets. As a result of these meetings the expenditures were amended from
time to time and submitted to the City Council for consideration.
The Measure S Oversight Committee met on April 3, 2024 to receive the FY 22/23
financial statements and report prepared by the independent Measure S auditor (Badawi
& Associates) and adopted Resolution No. MS2024-01. This resolution approved the
Committee’s Annual Report on Measure S Funds for Fiscal Year 2022-2023. The report
confirms the amount of Measure S revenues received, the total expenditures, the balance
of Measure S funds as of 6/30/23, and what departments/projects were funded with
Measure S revenues in FY 22/23.
ITEM ANALYSIS
On April 3, 2024, the Measure S Oversight Committee met to review the five-year plan
for Measure S revenues, and to hear about funding needs / department requests for the
FY 24/25 budget. The attached Resolution No. MS2024-03 outlines the recommended
expenditures discussed. The majority of the requested expenses are ongoing expenses
for the various departments including funding additional police officers, fire captains,
police and fire training, Police, Fire, Pool and Street equipment needs, as well as
operational needs for the Pool. In addition, new items included in the FY 24/25
recommendations are expenses for a utility trailer for the Police all-terrain vehicle, Fire
Department Command Training System, Rope Rescue Equipment, and radios for Fire
apparatus. As directed by the Committee, staff has included a list of anticipated FY24/25
pool expenditures to be purchased with the Pool Measure S Parts and Supplies budget
in the resolution.
Other items for Committee discussion:
Pool Capital Improvement Projects (HVAC / Flooring)
On April 18, 2024, staff opened bids for the Pool HVAC project. We only received one
bid. The bid was submitted by Adams Construction in the base bid amount of $1,156,017.
The base bid includes installation of a dehumidification system and replacing the boilers
in kind. If approved this project will increase the temperature and humidity control
resulting in better comfort for swimmers, bystanders, and staff as well a building that will
have a longer useful life as it will have less humidity and be less vulnerable to dry rot and
mold. Staff will be recommending that the Council approve the base bid and also
authorize one of the bid alternates in the amount of $16,000 to seal the building envelope.
This bid alternate is a reasonable cost and completing the work during the pool closure
for the HVAC project is ideal. This would result in a contract of $1,172,017.
The budget for this project comes from a FY 21-22 transfer of Measure S ($516,233) plus
City General Fund contribution of $670,158 for a total project budget of $1,186,391. The
contract for design was $140,384, leaving $1,046,007 remaining. The base bid plus the
alternate to seal the building envelope would result in a budget shortfall of $126,001 (with
FY 24/25 Measure S Expenditure Recommendations 3
April 30, 2024
no contingency).
Measure S expenditures to date (FY23/24) are under budget. Staff recommends
transferring $30,000 from the FY23/24 pool parts and supplies budget to this capital
project as well as $20,000 in the next fiscal year’s budget (FY24/25). This would decrease
the overall parts and supplies budget and increase the capital contribution in the current
fiscal year’s budget (see attached Resolution No. MS2024-02 amending the FY23/24
Budget Recommendations). On May 10, 2024, the City will receive bids on the Pool Deck
/ Locker Room Flooring project. We currently have a budget of $320,000 of Measure S
funding for this project. If bids come in under this amount, then any surplus funding could
be transferred to the HVAC project. It is anticipated that staff will take this item to the
Council for consideration on May 20, 2024. At that time, the Council may direct additional
funding from the General Fund or Measure S if necessary.
Street Improvement Projects (Pebble Beach Drive Discussion)
Funding and cashflow might be needed in FY24/25 for repairs to Pebble Beach Drive,
which is currently closed due to a slide that has undermined the road. Staff is working
diligently with Caltrans, Cal OES, and Federal Highways to get the emergency officially
declared by the State and emergency funding authorized. However, even if emergency
funding is available, staff have been told that the funding would be disbursed on a
reimbursement basis, which could take several years as Congress must allocate funds to
the emergency and then process reimbursement to the City. The current estimate for the
most feasible option (micro-pile system) for the emergency bank stabilization and Pebble
Beach roadway repair is $2 – $3 Million. However, this estimate is only for the current
failed portion (approximately 250 lineal feet between 7 th & 8th Street) of the roadway and
does not address the other areas that we know are vulnerable. Geotechnical studies that
have been completed reveal that the entire length of the bluff between 6th street and the
Preston Island access road (approximately 1550 lineal feet) is in need of stabilization.
The proposed FY24/25 recommended Measure S budget for street improvements
includes $200,000 in minor street / pedestrian repairs (potholes, crack seal, and sidewalk
repairs / replacement) as well as $600,000 for a major street improvement project of which
$75,000 has been recommended to be held for Front Street (I street to Play Street)
contingency. Staff are seeking further direction on these FY24/25 street expenditures as
well as this year’s FY23/24 remaining budgeted but not yet spent street budget of
approximately $850,000 ($250,000 remaining for minor street improvements and
$600,000 for a major rehabilitation project).
Options for Committee consideration include:
• Not expend any of the funds listed above until an official determination / options
for the repair of Pebble Beach are known.
• Expend only the minor repair budget of approximately $250,000 in FY23/24 plus
$200,000 in FY24/25 and save the unallocated major road repair funds in the
FY 24/25 Measure S Expenditure Recommendations 4
April 30, 2024
amount of $1,525,000 until we know more about the Pebble Beach Drive project
funding.
• Expend all of the funds as originally intended on local road projects. This could,
however, limit the City’s future options regarding the repair and stabilization of
Pebble Beach Drive.
Please note that unless otherwise directed by the Committee, any unspent FY23/24 funds
as of June 30, 2024 will be rolled over to FY24/25.
In addition, staff recommend the Committee approve utilizing the $40,000 budgeted in
the current fiscal year to purchase a crack seal machine to hire a contractor to perform
crack sealing. The purchase of the machine has not been made to date due to a lack of
staff capacity to perform the crack sealing if the machine were bought. The proposed
resolution MS2024-02 removes this budget item.
Police Department Vehicle Replacement Plan
The Committee directed staff to bring back a Police Vehicle Replacement Plan (attached).
This plan outlines the following criteria for Police vehicle replacement:
• Primary Patrol Vehicles
o Minimum of 4 vehicles needed,
o Estimated 10,000 miles / year
o Not more than 10 years old
o Less than 100,000 miles
o Then transition to Admin or Reserve Patrol (Estimated 7500 miles / Year)
▪ Not more than 15 years old
▪ Less than 130,000 miles
• K9 Vehicles
o Minimum of 3 primary K9 vehicles needed, plus 1 reserve
o Estimated 12,000 miles / year - Extra mileage due to additional training
o Not more than 10 years old
o Less than 120,000 miles
o Then transition to reserve until next K9 Unit is purchased
• Admin Vehicles (Chief / Detective – Unmarked)
o Minimum 2 Administration Vehicles Needed
o Estimated $8,000 miles / year)
o Not more than 15 years old
o Less than 120,000 miles
This plan does not affect the budget recommendations for FY24/25. However, as
indicated in the analysis, we do not show a need to purchase a vehicle in FY25/26,
FY 24/25 Measure S Expenditure Recommendations 5
April 30, 2024
FY27/28, or FY29/30. This makes sense as we were able to purchase multiple units over
the past several years. Thereafter, the plan indicates that beginning with FY 30/31, we
would need to purchase one vehicle per year through FY 36/37.
The attached draft 5-Year Measure S Spending Plan has been updated to reflect the
above discussion as well as this updated Police Department Vehicle replacement
schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
The attached resolution reflects the recommendations as directed by the Committee on
April 3, 2024, totaling net Measure S recommended expenditures in the amount of
$2,610,232 for FY 24/25. If adopted this recommendation will be submitted to the Council
for consideration to be included in the FY 24/25 budget.
The audited Measure S balance as of June 30, 2023 was $1,141,510. The current fiscal
year is estimated to end with a Measure S balance of $738,068. The recommended
Measure S expenditures for FY 24/25 would result in an ending balance of $427,836 as
of June 30, 2025.
