CITY Am. e* CITY MGRW RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Accept report. Set public hearing for June 15, 2004. ITEM EXPLANATION: The Operating Budget work session on June 1, 2004 is an opportunity for the City Council to review the 2004-05 Operating Budget. City staff will be making presentations and will also be available to answer questions. The recommendations for the Capital Improvement Program were presented to Council at the May 18* council meeting. In addition, a Citizens’ Budget Workshop will be held on Wednesday, June 9, 2004, at 500 p.m. at the Faraday Center, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Room 173B, to provide the public with an opportunity to discuss the Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program with staff. The public hearing and adoption of the 2004-05 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program is scheduled for the June 15, 2004 Council meeting. Overview The proposed Operating Budget for 2004-05 totals $147.6 million, an increase of $4.9 million from the 2003-04 adopted budget. Operating revenues are estimated at $154.2 million, which is a $1 .I million increase over the current year projections. The double-digit housing price increases over the past year have raised the assessed values in the City by 11 %; although, this is expected to level out in the coming year as interest rates rise. The increase in assessed values will not be fully realized in the City’s property tax projections as the State is expected to take approximately $1.8 million in property taxes from the City in fiscal year 2004-05 and again in 2005-06. This “contribution” to the state of California is to help alleviate the severe financial problems the State is experiencing. However, this is only a proposal; the final resolution to the State’s budget deficit and its effect on Carlsbad may not be settled for some time. After’ subtracting out the State ”contribution”, the City’s property tax revenue is expected to grow by 5.1% to $28.2 million. Overall, the City’s revenue projections reflect an increasing consumer confidence with growth in sales taxes at about 5.5% and ending the year at $26.4 million. Tourism is expected to continue to recover over the year, with TOT receipts finally reaching 2001’s level by the end of 2005 to $9.2 million, a 4.8 % increase over prior year. Development is anticipated to pick up as new housing developments come on line in the next year bringing in revenues from building permits, engineering fees and some planning permits. Total revenues in the General fund are expected to increase by 5.3% compared to almost no growth between fiscal years 2002-03 and 2003-04. The increases in the General fund revenues, as well as other fund revenues, enables the City to continue to provide top-quality services. The 2004-05 budget maintains the high level of services Carlsbad’s citizens have come to expect but does not propose any new enhancements other than those previously planned as noted below. I Page 2 of Agenda Bill # 17,652 0 New Facilities - The City has a large number of major capital projects scheduled to be built over the next five years. As the City completes these projects, the costs of maintaining and operating the facilities are added to the Operating Budget. Hidden Canyon Park and Aviara Community Park are both anticipated to open near the end of next fiscal year. The operation and maintenance costs for the 1 to 2 month period is expected to be minimal; thus, no additional funds have been included in the proposed budget. The costs will be included the following year. Public Safety - Public safety has always been, and remains, a top Council priority. In accordance with the budget policies, the Police and Fire departments are not adding any new positions in fiscal year 2004-05. The current level of staffing is considered sufficient to maintain the service levels in the departments. In order to control costs and manage overtime effectively, the Police department is implementing an overtime management plan. Under the plan, overtime budgets in most divisions have been reduced by 6% and an overtime contingency account was created to address any one-time or unusual overtime demands anywhere in the department. This goal of this plan is to minimize the use of overtime where there may be other options, without jeopardizing public safety. 0 Customer Service - One of Council’s goals is top-quality service, which means serving our customers well. Although there are only a few customer service initiatives funded in the budget this year due to economic concerns, it does not mean that the City is not continuing its efforts to provide the best service to our citizens and customers. One new exciting program proposed for next year is the Passport Services program. This program would allow the public to apply for a Passport at a City facility instead of having to drive to the next closest passport offices in Oceanside or Escondido. This program will not only provide a new service to our Citizens it will also generate additional revenue for the City. 0 Cost Savings - With the emphasis this year on controlling costs, a hard look was taken at the numbers and types of vehicles being purchased as replacements for the City’s current fleet. Each vehicle was reviewed to determine the need for replacement at this time as well as whether the replacement could be a smaller, less costly, more fuel- efficient vehicle without hurting the effectiveness of the program. The results of this review was that only 42 vehicles were selected for replacement out of the 66 vehicles that met the replacement criteria outlined in Administrative Order Number 3. Of the 42 units selected for replacement, 7 vehicles were downsized. 0 Other Budget Requests - The Operating Budget also includes a $3.8 million transfer to the Infrastructure Replacement fund to provide funding for infrastructure replacement as needed in the future. The Council’s contingency account is proposed at $2.3 million, which is 2.5% of budget requests. This account is available to the City Council to address unanticipated emergencies or unforeseen program needs. The Operating Budget proposes no new full-time and three-quarter-time employees and a decrease of .34 in part time positions. The General fund portion of the budget contains $90.5 million in recommended expenditures. This is $5.6 million, or 6.6%, more than the 2003-04 adopted budget. The majority of the increases in the General fund were due to personnel related costs including retirement, worker’s compensation insurance and health care. The Enterprise fund revenues, which include the water, recycled water, sanitation services, and solid waste management, are projected to increase in 2004-05, with total estimated revenues of $32.8 million. The Enterprise funds have a total proposed budget of $31.5 million. No rate increases are proposed. 2 Page 3 of Agenda Bill # 17,652 Revenues from Special Revenue funds are expected to total $9.7 million, a decrease from 2003-04. The expenditures are budgeted at $10 million, a slight decrease in anticipated spending. The types of services supported within Special Revenue funds include grants (Section 8 Housing Assistance, Community Development Block Grants), donations, special fees, and assessments (Housing Trust fund, Maintenance Assessment districts). The combined Redevelopment Agency budget proposal totals $2.1 million. This is 13.5% higher than the 2003-04 budget. This increase is mainly due to additional amounts budgeted for the South Carlsbad Redevelopment Area where the master planning work is continuing. More information about all of the City’s projected revenues and Operating Budget recommendations can be found in the attached exhibits. Staff is requesting that Council set the public hearing for the meeting of June 15, 2004. At that time, Council may receive input from interested citizens and groups wishing to comment on the proposed budget. EXHIBITS: 1. 2004-05 Preliminary Budget (Overview). 2.

The Council has worked closely with the schools in the past, and staff continues to meet with them on a regular basis. BUDGET PROCESS The budget process for the City of Carlsbad begins in January each year, with a review and update of the City Council’s five-year vision statements. These statements are shown earlier in this document. Through the vision statements, Council defines and clarifies their vision of Carlsbad. The strategic goals for the City are developed next. The goals further define the methods used to achieve the vision and call out areas in which Council would like to place special emphasis during the year. Once these are developed, staff develops operational Cia of Carlsbad 2004-05 Strategic Goals Top-Quality Services - Be a city that provides exceptional services on a daily basis.

These operational goals are the basis for the development of the operating budget. Carlsbad’s operating budget is a tool that guides the achievement of Council’s vision and goals for the City. It allocates the resources and sets the priorities for all of the programs offered by Exhibit 1 the City. Thus, it is an integral part of making Carlsbad a wonderful community in which to live, work, and play. ECONOMIC PROFILE The economy over the past few months has been moving in a positive direction signaling the return of economic growth as well as job growth in the nation and California. According to advance estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 4.2 percent in the first quarter of 2004. In the fourth quarter, real GDP increased 4.1 percent. The major contributors to the increase in real GDP in the first quarter were personal consumption expenditures, equipment and software, government spending, exports, and private inventory investment. Investors also seem to be feeling more positive about the future economy, despite the difficult situation in Iraq and the recent spike in oil prices. The Federal Reserve's statement, issued II 111 IV I II 111 IV I II 111 IV I II Ill IV I May 4, was believed to be pointing towards higher interest rates in the future. Since the Fed usuallv onlv raises rates in a strong economy with sound fundamentals, it was another indicator that the economy is on solid footing. There has also been positive economic performance from California's economy. Personal income growth has picked up, growing 4.5% ahead of the previous year by the end of the 4'h quarter of 2003. Taxable sales have also improved with six consecutive quarters of year over year growth according to the State department of Finance. Job growth was the one lagging area in California and recent data suggests that it may be turning around, as well. According to the Economic Development Department, payroll employment grew by 16,300 jobs from March to April 2004. This is the second consecutive month that payroll employment has reached an all-time record high. The unemployment rate was 6.2% down from 6.6% in March and 6.8% a year ago. All of these set the stage for a growing California economy. However, most economists caution that the growth will not be robust and there are still some uncertainties for the future. In an overview of the state's economy, UCLA Anderson Forecast Senior Economist Joseph Hurd states, "California's economy is moving up and out of the trough of recession. We have seen job growth for a few months - taxable sales are stronger and housing continues to be strong, both in sales and construction." Dr. Hurd cautions that the economy still must confront state budget cuts that will reduce public sector jobs by 25,000 over the next 15 months, surging gasoline prices and a weak dollar, which make imports more expensive, and high household debt, which will limit new purchases of cars and other durables for the foreseeable future. Exhibit 1 As Dr. Hurd noted, the financial woes of the California government may continue to hold back the growth of the California economy. The economic recovery and the actions taken under Governor Schwarzenegger have helped to improve the near term outlook for the state as evidenced by Moody’s upgraded credit rating for the State in May 2004. However, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO), the State is still facing significant deficits in future years. The LAO’S report states that while the Governor’s plan would balance in 2004-05, a $6 billion shortfall reappears in 2005-06, growing to over $6.5 billion in 06-07 and beyond. The ongoing budget shortfalls result from the high reliance in the near term on one-time savings LAO Forecast for State of California Large Operating Shortfalls to Persist Under Mav Revisiona General Fund (In earions) $110 - Irn - loo - %- Po- 86- nd and loans that will need to be repaid in the future. It is the LAO’S opinion that the State will not be able to simply “grow its way” out of the current deficit situation. The outlook for California in the latter half of 2004, according to the State Finance Department, is for job growth to hit an annualized rate of .8%, with the low rate attributable to the late improvement in the labor markets, and personal income growth to rise by 5.4%. For 2005, they are predicting further improvements with job growth showing a 2.1% increase and personal income up by 5.6%. Locally, the San Diego economy has fared better than either the nation or the State. The region added 5,100 jobs last month, nearly a third of the jobs growth statewide. Due to diversified economy, San Diego never really felt the jobs loss experienced in other areas of the State. San Diego County’s unemployment rate declined from 4.2% in March to 3.9% in April compared to a 5.4% rate nationally and 6.1 % in California. The continuing job growth in San Diego is reflected in growing consumer confidence in the region. Last month, confidence rose by 3.2%, according to a monthly survey by The San Diego Union-Tribune. “Consumers are more optimistic about current circumstances than they have been in nearly two years, although there is continuing pessimism about what the economy will be like six months down the road.” Carlsbad’s economy is tied closely to that of the San Diego region. General improvement has been seen in the past year in almost all areas. Total sales taxes in the City for the last calendar year grew 6.7%, with the general retail and transportation segments both increasing by almost 10%. Transient Occupancy Taxes, the City’s gauge of the tourism industry, are up 4% for the fiscal year through April. Carlsbad’s residential real estate market has continued strong throughout the year. The City expects to issue 1,198 residential permits this year, slightly higher than the 834 in the previous year. The impediment to higher development is mainly due to the lack of supply rather than a lack of demand. However, there are a number of new residential communities in the final phases of development, which will add significantly to the residential housing stock in Carlsbad. These include the Calavera Hills project in northeast Carlsbad, with 331 single family homes and 358 multi-family units planned; the Villages of La Costa projects known as the Oaks, the Greens and the Ridge which will add a approximately 1,700 single family and 550 multi-family units and the Bressi Ranch area with 523 single family and 100 multi-family units to be b Exhibit 1 developed. The completion of these master planned communities will signal the end to the large-scale residential developments in Carlsbad. Median SFD Home Prices in Carlsbad (in 000’s) $600 $500 $400 $300 $200 $1 00 s- I II 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 With supply relatively low, housing prices have continued to escalate. The median price for single-family homes in Carlsbad averaged $561,000 for calendar year 2003, a 17% increase from the previous year. Total assessed values in the City stand at over $14 billion, double what they were just five years ago. With the new developments mentioned earlier starting to sell this year, the City has projected it will add about 3,700 more residential units and an additional 5.9 million square feet of commerciaVindustria1 development over the next five years. The City’s residential housing stock is about 85% built out, with approximately 6,800 housing units remaining to develop. Commercial and industrial development has been sluggish in the past few years, adding well under a million square feet per year. This is expected to pick up over the next five years to average over 1.1 million square feet per year. Some of the major businesses in town include the Gemological Institute of America, ViaSat, Invitrogen, Callaway, Taylor Made, Upper Deck, and many others. Commercial development has brought much needed entertainment and shopping venues to citizens and visitors alike, as well as generating additional sales taxes to help pay for City services. Carlsbad is home to Car Country Carlsbad - an auto mall; the Carlsbad Company Stores - a specialty outlet center; Plaza Camino Real - a regional shopping mall; a Costco center; and the most recent addition; the Forum at Carlsbad - a commercial center with retail shops, restaurants and other commercial uses. Development has also enhanced Carlsbad’s reputation as a destination resort for tourism. The City is host to a major family theme park: Legoland, and has two luxury resorts available for its visitors: the Four Seasons Resort at Aviara and the La Costa Resort & Spa. There are also a number of other quality hotels and motels in the City with the most recent additions being the Inns of America, which opened in December 2001, and the Extended Stay America, which opened in fall 2002. This brings the total available hotel rooms in the City to about 3,500. It is the Council’s goal to ensure that the City remains in good financial health, and there are a number of steps the City has taken to attain that goal. One of these is the Growth Management Plan. This plan was adopted by the citizens to ensure that all necessary public facilities were constructed along with development. It also ensures that a financing plan is in place to pay for the facilities prior to the development of the property. In addition to the Growth Management Plan, the City also prepares a long-term financial model for both the capital and operating needs of the City. With a growing city such as Carlsbad, it is imperative that we plan for the impacts of serving new development and operating new public facilities, as well as planning for the capital needed to build them. Thus, the City prepares a ten- year operating forecast for the General fund, and a 20+ year Capital Improvement Program. As 7 Exhibit 1 part of the Capital Improvement Program, the City annually calculates the amounts needed to pay for the various projects and calculates the anticipated operating budget impacts. In this way, we can anticipate the effects of development from both a capital and an operating perspective. One of the newer initiatives the City has undertaken to ensure its financial health is the development of an Infrastructure Replacement fund. With this fund, the City has begun to set aside money on an annual basis for major maintenance and replacement of its infrastructure. Much of the City’s infrastructure is relatively new; thus, the City has not felt the full impact of maintenance. By setting aside funds now, the citizens of Carlsbad can be assured that the proper maintenance and replacement, when needed, will be performed on streets, parks, and many facilities for which the City is responsible.

Despite the slow recovery underway, Carlsbad’s current economic position is an enviable one. A relatively healthy local economy over the past five years provided additional revenue-generating sites that allow the City to continue to provide services despite the sluggishness of the recent economy. The Carlsbad Company Stores, opened in late 1997, has continued to expand and now contributes over $1.3 million annually to the City’s sales tax receipts. The City’s Auto Mall generates over $6 million per year in sales taxes for the City. Legoland, a family theme park, contributes to the City’s sales tax base as well as stimulating the development of new hotels in the area. The effect of the new development and the demand for housing in Carlsbad is an increasing tax base. The five major revenue sources for the City: property taxes, sales taxes, TOT, franchise taxes, and vehicle license fees, are expected to provide $75.4 million, or 77%, of the City’s General fund revenues in 2005. These taxes and fees are the major source of funding for most of the City’s services and allow the City to live up to its reputation as one of the premier locations in San Diego County. For fiscal year 2004-05, the City’s revenue projections reflect increasing consumer confidence with growth in base sales taxes at about 5.5%. Housing prices are expected to level out, with the expected rise in interest rates, especially in the higher-end homes. Development is predicted to increase as new housing developments come on line in the next year. And finally, tourism is expected to continue to recover over the year, with TOT receipts finally reaching 2001’s level by the end of 2005. More information on all of the City’s revenues and programs can be found in the later sections of this document. The most significant area of risk in the forecast for Carlsbad is in the impact on the City from the state of California’s budget deficit. The State’s budget for fiscal year 2004 took approximately $1.5 million from the City’s General fund with the promise to pay the majority of it back in the future. In the early part of the 199O’s, the State also overspent their budget resulting in a permanent loss of over $2.5 million from Carlsbad’s General fund in the form of a reallocation of property taxes. So the precedent of the State taking local revenues on a permanent basis to solve it’s fiscal problems has been set and thus, threatens the stability of the City’s finances. In addition, a ballot measure in November authorized what is known as the “Triple Flip”. This is a complicated method of securing payment for the Deficit Reduction Bonds, which the State is a Exhibit 1 planning on issuing this year. It essentially results in the temporary swap of a ’h cent of the cities’ sales tax in return for property tax. It should have no effect on the amount of tax revenues the cities receive but it will result in the loss of some interest earnings due to the delay in the timing of the receipt of the taxes. The Governor’s May Revision of the 2004-05 budget reflects an agreement worked out between the Governor and a group of city, county and special district representatives. The package is to be put on the November ballot as a constitutional amendment. The main provisions include: Permanently reducing the vehicle license fee rate to its current .65% and provide property taxes to cities and counties to offset the loss on a dollar for dollar basis. Cities, counties and special districts are to make a contribution to the State totaling $1.3 billion in both the ‘05 and ‘06 fiscal years. Guarantees repayment of the of VLF amounts taken by the State this year in fiscal year ’07 Guarantees that the “Triple Flip” will be reversed when the bonds are repaid. Provides for mandate relief if the State does not pay the mandated costs. Secures the Governor’s commitment to campaign for voter approval of the measure. If this constitutional amendment passes as proposed, it means that the City of Carlsbad will lose $1.8 million from the General fund, $220,000 from its Redevelopment Agency and up to $750,000 from the Water Enterprise in each of the next 2 years. In exchange for this 2-year “contribution” to the State, the cities will gain protection from further raids on their revenues by the State. As it is likely that some similar loss will be adopted in the final State budget, Carlsbad’s estimated revenues have been adjusted downward to reflect the terms of the proposed agreement. While it would be preferable for the State to balance its budget without impacting local government, if the State can limit the effects to those indicated in the proposed agreement and if the promised revenue protections are achieved, the impact on Carlsbad will be manageable. The danger is that these will not be enough and that further assaults on City revenue sources will occur. LOOKING FORWARD As stated earlier in this document, the City prepares ten-year forecasts for the General fund each year in order to understand the effects of actions taken today on the City’s future. The City has experienced remarkable revenue growth over the past five to seven years due to the development of the majority of its commercial sites. The future will bring a few more commercial sites but at a much slower pace, while residential development will continue for a number of years. There are also quite a few City facilities - mainly parks - planned in the future to serve the growing population. The new facilities will add operating costs to the City’s General fund budget as they are completed and opened for use. These factors alone will cause the General fund costs to escalate at a higher rate than inflation. In addition, a number of other factors - mainly rising retirement and health care costs - will create upward pressure on expenditures, especially over the next five years. These factors have been incorporated into the General fund forecast shown below and projected over the next ten years. While no forecast is ever totally accurate, it does represent a likely scenario given the assumptions on which it is built. This forecast assumes that revenue growth will pick up at a moderate pace in 2005 and continue into the future. It does assume that the agreement with the Governor is approved; thus, reflecting decreased property taxes in FY 05 and 06 and then full revenue receipts after that time. Exhibit 1 5160 $140 5120 $100 $80 $60 $40 $20 $0 I ll 1 Revenues +Projected Budget I To project the expenditures, it includes all known personnel costs, most of which have been negotiated with the employee groups. The City has multi-year agreements with all the major employee groups so the effects can be projected fairly accurately. It assumes 15% increases in health care costs in the near future but flattening out into the future. It also assumes personnel growth (new positions) to remain rather flat at no more than 2% per year. And finally, it includes estimated operating costs for all capital projects in the timeframes shown in the CIP. The results show that the General fund would operate at a surplus until 2008, at which time the forecast goes into a slight deficit and the deficit continues to grow to a maximum of 4% of the budget by 2014. The surpluses are caused by the surge in revenues that occurred over the past years. The City’s costs are projected to continue to grow at a faster pace than revenues, so it will eventually lead into deficits. One of the more significant changes resulting in expenditure growth in the later years is the projected loss of Transnet revenues, which are used for street maintenance. Transnet is a % cent additional sales tax collected countywide and used to improve the transportation systems. The current authorization for the sales tax will end in 2008. SANDAG, the San Diego Association of Governments, is placing a measure on the November ballot to reauthorize the sales tax for another 40 years. If the measure passes, the deficits in the future years will be reduced. Of course, the City does not allow for deficit spending, so it will need to balance the budgets in the out years. This can be done by reducing costs, raising revenues, or slowing the addition of new facilities until the revenues have time to catch up. The General fund forecast is a tool available to the City for managing its fiscal resources effectively and monitoring the achievement of sustainable economic health for the City of Carlsbad. Exhibit 1 2004-05 PRELlMlNARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW FUND GENERAL FUND SPECIAL REVENUE ENTERPRISE INTERNAL SERVICE REDEVELOPMENT The preliminary Operating budget for fiscal year 2004-05 totals $1 47.6 million, with revenues for the year estimated at $154.2 million.

Increases in General fund revenues, mainly property and sales taxes, offset the declines in the other funds. The decline of $2.4 million in the Special Revenue funds is due to one-time revenue in the Housing Trust fund for interest and shared appreciation received on loan repayments. The decline of $2 million in the Internal Service funds is due to a $2.5 million transfer in 2003-04 in the Workers Compensation fund and the elimination of the Records Management fund. More information on the City’s revenue sources can be found in the discussion below. General Fund General fund revenues provide a representative picture of the local economy. These revenues are of particular interest as they fund basic City services such as police, fire, library, street and park maintenance, and recreation programs. The table below shows a summarized outlook for the major General fund revenues. Exhibit 1 This year it is expected that property taxes will grow to almost $30 million in FY05, a 12% increase over the past year. However, the City will only receive $28.1 million of that due to the reductions proposed in the State of California’s budget mentioned earlier in this letter. The State reduction brings the growth down to 5% for the year. Property taxes tend to lag behind the rest of the economy, as the tax for the upcoming fiscal year is based on assessed values from the previous January. Thus, the taxes to be received for fiscal year 2004-05 are based on values as of January 1,2004. Sales taxes react much quicker to changes in the economy and therefore will typically grow faster in a good economy but also drop off faster as the economy cools. Property taxes also have a cap on I .- how fast they can grow. Thjs is due to Proposition 13. Proposition 13 was adopted by the State in 1978. This proposition limits the growth in assessed values (and thus property taxes) to no more than 2% per year. The value upon which the tax is based is only increased to the full market value upon the sale of the property. Inthou..nd‘* $30,000 $25.000 120,000 $15.000 $10,OOO 15.000 $0 Property and Sales Tax eowth +Property Taxes -m- Sales Taxes Thus, property taxes tend to grow I slowly unless there is a significant amount of housing activity.- In more recent years, we have seen robust growth in property taxes due to new developments, a large number of resales within the City spurring revaluation of the parcels and double-digit growth in housing prices. Sales taxes are expected to total $26.4 million for 2004-05, an increase of 5.3% over the 2003- 04 projections. These projections assume a base increase of 5.5% plus additional amounts for Sales Taxes by Category ll new retail sites locating to the City. The increase would have been closer to 7% if not for the impact of the State’s budget on the revenues. As mentioned earlier in this letter, the “Triple Flip” is essentially a temporary swap of a % cent of the cities’ sales taxes in return for property tax. The revenue estimates continue to show this amount as sales tax since the amount is reflective of the amount of sales tax the City would have received. It should have no effect on the ultimate amount of tax revenues the cities receives but it will result in a delay in the timing of the receipt of the taxes. Because of this delay between years, sales tax receipts for FY05 may be lower by about $500,000. The details of how the swap will work are still being discussed and actual receipts may differ. One of the most significant new sites in Carlsbad is a retail center in the southernmost part of the city. This center includes approximately 190,000 square feet of retail space as well as restaurants and other commercial uses. The center opened in late 2003 with new tenants continuing to move in. Exhibit 1 As can be seen in the accompanying chart, the City’s sales tax base is heavily weighted in the transportation (predominantly new car sales) and retail sectors. These two sectors make up 70% of the City’s sales tax base. Sales tax estimates also include approximately $700,000 that is restricted to spending on public safety services under Proposition 172. Proposition 172 requires that the one-half cent increase in California sales taxes be allocated to local agencies to fund public safety services. The third highest General fund revenue source is Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT or hotel taxes) estimated at $9.2 million for 2004-05, an increase of 4.8% over 2003-04 estimates. TOT Transient Occupancy Taxes $10.000 S8.000 16.000 $4.000 $2,000 01 02 03 04e 0% Fiscal Year is the one revenue source for the City that was severely affected by the September 2001 terrorism attacks and has not yet climbed back to its previous levels. The tourism industry was already beginning to slow due to the downturn in the national and regional economies when the terrorist attacks practically shut down the industry in fall 2001. As a result, TOT for fiscal year 2002 declined 8%. The recovery from those events has been stifled by the war in Iraq, the SARS epidemic and general sluggishness in the economy. In addition, Carlsbad’s TOT has remained low due to the renovation occurring at one of its premier resorts, the La Costa Resort and Spa. The resort is undergoing extensive remodeling and rebuilding, which has offset much of the growth experienced by the other hotels in the City. A large part of the remodeling has been completed and with the strength in the economy, it is projected that TOT revenues will finally get back to the pre- 9/11 levels in FY05. One of the more volatile General fund revenues is the franchise tax. Franchise taxes are paid by certain industries that use the City right-of- way to conduct their businesses. The City currently has franchise agreements for cable TV service, solid waste services, and gas and electric services. The cable and solid waste franchises have been growing along with the growth in population and changes in their rate structures. These franchise revenues are projected to grow by about 3% to 5% in fiscal year 2005. The large fluctuations in franchise taxes has come from the taxes on gas and electric services, which are paid by San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E). SDGE Franchise Taxes $6 $5 $4 $3 $2 $1 $0 2000 01 02 03 04e 05e SDG&E pays franchise taxes for the use of the public land over which they transport gas and electricity. The City also receives an “in-lieu” franchise tax based on the value of gas and electricity transported on SDG&E lines but purchased from another source. The “in-lieu” tax captures the franchise taxes on gas and electricity that is transported using public lands but which would not otherwise be included in the calculations for franchise taxes due to deregulation of the power industry. The majority of the “in-lieu” taxes received is attributable to Cabrillo Power, the operator of the Encina power plant, based on the gas used in the generation of electricity. During the energy crisis in 2000 and 2001, average gas prices soared from about $3 per thousand cubic feet to, at times, more than $12 per thousand cubic feet. In addition, the Encina power plant was operating at a much higher capacity. The combination of these two factors resulted in an increase in franchise fees to the City of over 100% in FYOl and FY02 Exhibit 1 (franchise taxes are paid in April for the previous year). Another price spike occurred in 2003 as can be seen in the price chart. The FY05 forecast shows a decline of 13% from the previous year. Vehicle License Fees (VLF) are collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles when cars or other vehicles are registered. They are calculated on the estimated value of the vehicle and are distributed to cities and counties mainly based on population. The City’s revenues from this source grew by about 10% per year from fiscal year 1998 to fiscal year 2001, but have begun to slow since then to about 7% to 8% annually. Over the past several years, the State has decrease the VLF paid by taxpayers. This tax break was given in the years when the State was experiencing budget surpluses. Since VLF is a city and county revenue, the State made up the loss of revenue to the cities and counties through what is known as the “backfilling” of the loss with State general fund money. In fiscal year 2004, now faced with large deficits, the State stopped backfilling the cities and counties. This resulted in a loss of VLF revenue to Carlsbad of over $1 million. The State has promised to pay back the loss in FY 07. The estimated revenue for fiscal year 2005 is based on a return of full payment of VLF, an increase of approximately 25%.

The estimate for fiscal year 2004-05 totals $16.3 million, no change from fiscal year 2003-04. Business license taxes are closely tied to the health of the economy. Although, the estimate for fiscal year 2005 shows no increase from the previous year, it is due to some one-time payments received in FY04 rather than no projected growth in the revenue. Absent the one-time payments, it is projected to grow by approximately 5%. There are currently about 7,000 licensed businesses in Carlsbad, with over 2,000 of them based out of the home. Transfer taxes are expected to grow slightly over the next year, reflecting a softening of the real estate market. Interest income is projected to remain about the same due to the use of some of the General fund balance on major projects as approved on the ballot propositions. The City earns about $2.5 million on its General fund investments every year. Exhibit 1 Overall, General fund revenues are expected to grow by about 5.3%, or $4.9 million, in the upcoming year. Most of the growth is coming from the tax revenues: mainly property, sales and TOT. Although the City experienced revenue growth between 9% and 17% in the late 1990’s, it was not sustainable growth. Much of those increases were due to the opening of new hotels, restaurants, retail centers, and new home development. As the City matures, it will be increasingly more difficult to produce double-digit growth in revenues. The 5.3% gain projected for fiscal year 2004-05 is respectable given that the CPI is only expected to grow by 2.3% in 2005. This growth is closer to what may be expected in the future. Grants (Section 8 Housing Community Assistance , Other Funds Special Revenue Funds Revenues from Special Revenue funds are expected to total $9.7 million, a $2.5 million decrease from 2003-04. The types of programs supported within Special Revenue funds are those funded by specific revenue streams such as: Development Block Grants); Donations; Special fees and assessments (Housing Trust fund, Maintenance Assessment districts). The most noteworthy changes in the Special Revenue funds occurred in three programs: the Housing Trust, the Buena Vista Creek Channel Maintenance and the Section 8 Program. Maintenance All Others CDBG 2% 7% \ I Section 8/ 64 % The Housing Trust fund was set up to provide funding for the City’s affordable housing programs. Revenues come from inclusionary housing fees, interest on cash balances, and payments on affordable housing loans. Most affordable housing loans are set up so that interest and/or principal payments are only due when funds are available from the project to make the payments; therefore, they are difficult to predict. For fiscal year 2004, the City expects to receive about $2.7 million in repayments. For fiscal year 2005, no amounts have been estimated for repayments. Most of the fund’s revenue decrease is due to this difference. The Buena Vista Creek Channel Maintenance fund shows $100,000 more in revenue for next year, due to the increase in assessment revenue. A five-year maintenance contract was entered into and the assessments along with the balances in the fund will be used to pay for this program. The noteworthy increase in estimated revenues was in the Section 8 Housing program fund, up $564,000 or 10%. The additional projected revenue due to a 1% increase in our projected lease rate for 2004-05 resulting in an increase in grant funds of $567,000. One other change in the Special Revenue funds in 2004-05 is the recording of the Storm Water Protection Program in the solid Waste Enterprise fund rather than in the Special Revenue fund. During 2003-04 the solid waste fee was increased to include the cost of this program. The revenue from this fee increase as well as the costs of the Storm Water Protection Program are now recorded in the Solid Waste Enterprise fund. that supply the service. Carlsbad Enterprises include the water, recycled water, and sanitation services; solid waste management; and the Carlsbad Golf Course. Other changes in the Enterprise funds are the result of normal fluctuations in operations. Besides the increase in the solid waste fee which occurred during 2003-04, there are no changes in any of the rate structures significant changes projected for any of the anticipated in next fiscal year and no Internal Service funds show estimated revenues of $1 1.9 million for 2004-05, a decrease of $2 million, or 14%’ over 2003-04 projections. lntemal Service funds provide services within the City itself and include programs such as the self-insurance funds for Workers’ Compensation, Liability and Health Insurance, as well as Information Technology and Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement. Departments pay for services provided by these funds; therefore, the rates charged for the services are based on the cost to provide the service. The goal of the Internal Service funds is to match their budgeted expenses with charges to the departments after allowing for a certain level of reserves within the fund. There are several main reasons for the change in the revenue estimates for the Internal Service funds. The most significant is the change in the Workers Compensation fund. The City is self- insured for worker’s compensation claims. Due to changes in State law and overall increases in health care costs, the City has seen its worker’s compensation claims increase significantly over the past two years. In order to provide sufficient funds for the payment of current and future claims, a transfer of $2.5 million from the various funds that use the worker’s compensation services was made during April 2004. That one-time transfer accounts for the majority of the decrease in revenue estimated in the Internal Service funds. Offsetting that decrease in the Workers Compensation fund was a $1.2 million increase in interdepartmental revenues. This is the increase in charges to departments for Workers Compensation. These charges have been increased to cover the estimated annual claims and administration costs. Golf Solid Course 65% Another Internal Service fund that had an increase was the liability self-insurance fund. Liability claims have exceeded revenues over the past few years. However, the Liability fund had significant balances to cover this shortfall. Now that these balances have been used up, we have had to increase charges from $650,000 in 2003-2004 to $1.2 million in 2004-05 to cover the estimated annual claims and administration costs. The final change to note in the Internal Service funds is that there is no longer a records management Internal Service fund. This program has been moved to the General fund. Redevelopment revenues are expected to total $3.7 million in the upcoming year, a 12.7% or $417,000 increase over the projections for the previous year. Most of the increase is the result of additional tax increment to be received from the South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Area. Under redevelopment law, tax increment can only be used to repay debt incurred. Thus, the Redevelopment Agency cannot receive taxes greater than the total of what it expects to incur in the upcoming year plus that amount incurred to date. For fiscal year 2004, the Agency estimates that it will have incurred sufficient debt to receive its full share of the tax increment. Thus, the tax increment should increase to approximately $91 1,000 from the $712,000 expected in fiscal year 2004. Exhibit 1 Tax increment in the City’s other Redevelopment area (the Village) is expected to increase by 5% to $1.8 million in fiscal year 2005. As with most property in California, the growth in assessed values (and property taxes) is limited to no more than 2% per year. The assessed value is only increased to the full market value upon the sale of the property. Unless there is significant resale activity or new development, the increment would not be expected to grow more than 2% per year. EXPENDITURES The City’s Operating budget for 2004-05 totals $147.6 million, which represents an increase of $4.8 million, or 3.4%, from the adopted 2003-04 budget. This increase is mainly the result of personnel cost increases in the General fund budget, which will be explained in more detail below. The changes in each of the City’s programs will be discussed fully below. Budnetaw Policies Due to the uncertainty about the State’s financial problems and how they may affect the City, the theme behind this year’s budget policies was ”managing resources effectively” - to manage our current resources as effectively as possible so that we are able to deliver the same quality and level of our services while maintaining a balanced budget for now and in the future. To achieve that end, the following specific goals were set: 0 Nolayoffs. 0 No noticeable cuts in services and service levels. Identification of new revenue generation opportunities. A balanced budget and a long-term plan for staying in balance. Keeping in mind those outcomes, the following policies were developed: No new positions. No new programs, other than those already in progress or anticipated in the CIP. Budget requests for one-time funding to implement specific goals will be considered. Generally, be prudent in your budgeting. Consider cost containment measures and budget discretionary items at minimum levels. Over the past three years the “Expenditure Control Budgeting” or ECB process was used. Using this approach, each department was given a block appropriation containing sufficient funds to provide the current level of services for the upcoming year. As Carlsbad is a growing city, the block appropriation should contain sufficient funds to pay for inflationary increases as well as growth in the customer base so every year the block was increased for by an index for growth and inflation. The ECB process was suspended this year in order to tighten up the past budgets. Every program was scrutinized to determine the true cost of providing the services and was budgeted at the level deemed necessary to continue to provide the services. The result was an overall reduction in the majority of the non-personnel accounts. It is expected that we will retul-n to the ECB process next year using the fiscal year 2004-05 budget as the base. No additional appropriations are expected during the year except in the case of a significant unanticipated event. Any amounts that are unspent at the end of the fiscal year will be carried forward in their entirety to the new fiscal year. The 2004-05 budget reflects the following organizational and structural changes, which will continue to contribute to the overall effectiveness of the organization: Exhibit 1 The Records Management Program is now being shown within the General fund rather than as an Internal Service fund. The costs of the software and hardware for the program have been transferred to the Information Technology Internal Service fund and those costs will be allocated to users in the Information Technology charges. The remaining Records Management costs will become General fund costs and be allocated to other funds through the cost allocation plan. 0 0 The Storm Water Protection Program is now accounted for in the Solid Waste Enterprise fund rather than as a separate Special Revenue fund. In October 2003, as the result of the City of Carlsbad Storm Water Pollution Protection Program Regulatory and Fee Study Report, Council adopted a new rate structure for the City’s solid waste service program to recoup the majority of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program costs. This new rate structure increased both residential and commercial trash fees. The Storm Water Protection program, which is budgeted at $1.4 million in 2004-05, was previously funded through a loan from the General fund. Budgeted Expenditures Through the application of these guidelines and policies, the 2004-05 Operating budget of $147.6 million was developed. Due to the uncertainties regarding the State’s budget deficit as well as significant cost increases looming in the future, management felt the best course of action was to continue to do what we do well and hold the line on any new items that would add ongoing commitments to the budget. Thus, this year’s proposed budget maintains the high level of services Carlsbad’s citizens have come to expect but does not propose any new enhancements other than those previously planned. The 2004-05 Operating budget proposes no new full-time or three-quarter-time employees. The net decrease in hourly staff totaled approximately .34 full-time equivalents (FTE). These changes result in a City workforce of 646 full and three-quarter-time employees and 147.93 hourly FTE. New Facilities The City has a large number of major capital projects scheduled to be built over the next five years. As the City completes these projects, the costs of maintaining and operating the facilities are added to the Operating budget. Two new parks are expected to open near the end of next fiscal year: Hidden Canyon and Aviara Park. No additional funds have been included in next year’s budget for the maintenance of these parks since the openings will be so close to the end of the year. The following year’s budget will include additional operating costs for a full- year for both of the parks. Public Safety Public safety has always been, and remains, a top Council priority. In accordance with the budget policies, the Police and Fire departments are not adding any new positions in fiscal year 2004-05. The current level of staffing is considered sufficient to maintain the service levels in the departments. In order to sontrol costs and manage overtime effectively, the Police department is implementing an overtime management plan. Under the plan, overtime budgets in most divisions have been reduced by 6% and an overtime contingency account was created to address any one-time or unusual overtime demands anywhere in the department. This goal of this plan is to minimize the use of overtime where there may be other options, without jeopardizing public safety. Exhibit 1 The Police will also continue to implement their Public Safety Technology Plan this next year. This plan replaces the computer-aided dispatch system originally installed in 1986 and will allow for mobile computing, mapping and automatic vehicle location. Mobile computing will allow officers to receive calls on their in-car computer and perform other functions such as email and accessing regional databases while in the car. A computerized map will show the unit‘s current location and location of call. The Automatic Vehicle Location is the real-time tracking of police units with the closet unit to the call being dispatched. These improvements will give us the tools to manage our officers even more effectively. A change in the Fire safety area was previously approved by Council and is reflected in the fiscal year 2005 budget. On July 1, 2003, the City of Carlsbad’s Fire Department became a member of the North County Dispatch Joint Powers Authority (NCDJPA). The NCDJPA was formed in July 1984 and currently includes members from the cities of Encinitas, San Marcos, Solana Beach, Vista, and the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District. An immediate advantage will be the ability of the NCDJPA to dispatch the closest unit(s) to an emergency scene regardless of jurisdictional boundaries. The City believes joining the NCDJPA has improved regional coordination, created operational efficiencies, and improved cross-jurisdictional response times with the member agencies. The annual cost associated with being a member of the NCDJPA for year two is estimated to be $260,000, with the City receiving a discount of 20%. Volunteer program A Community Volunteer Coordinator position was hired during fiscal year 2003-04. This position was designed to create a streamlined way to enable our citizens to connect with volunteer opportunities. This ‘one-stop shop’ to involvement will help create a powerful network to place volunteers within the City and community. Volunteers are a great resource for the City, and as this program continues to develop over the next year, it is expected that the City will benefit even more from the use of volunteers. Technology The City continues to enhance its use of technology in order to reduce processing costs and increase customer services. During the spring of fiscal year 2003-04, the Recreation department implemented an on-line class registration for Aquatic classes. This enabled over 75% of the registrations to be done via the internet. This not only allows busy moms, dads, seniors, and everyone else to be able to register for their favorite aquatic class from home, it also saves staff time previously spent on answering phones, opening mail and processing checks. The plan for FY05 is to implement the on-line registration for the rest of the recreation classes. Once fully implemented, it is expected that there will be a noticeable savings in staff time. Customer Service One of Council’s goals is top-quality service, which means serving our customers well. Although there are only a few customer service initiatives funded in the budget this year due to economic concerns, it does not mean that the City is not continuing its efforts to provide the best service to our citizens and customers. There are numerous goals proposed for the 2005 fiscal year that will enhance the service we provide without costing a lot of extra money. Some of these include process changes so our services can be provided faster. One new exciting program proposed for next year is the Passport Services program. This program would allow the public to apply for a Passport at a City facility instead of having to drive to the next closest passport offices in Oceanside or Escondido. The City could accept the application and mail them to the Department of Passports. The City will receive $30 per passport application received for providing this service. This service is proposed to be provided using existing staff Exhibit 1 BUDGET and resources. This program will not only provide a new service to our citizens, it will also generate additional revenue for the City. $ % Cost Savings With the emphasis this year on controlling costs, a hard look was taken at the numbers and types of vehicles being purchased as replacements for the City’s current fleet. Each vehicle was reviewed to determine the need for replacement at this time as well as whether the replacement could be a smaller, less costly, more fuel-efficient vehicle without hurting the effectiveness of the program. The results of this review was that of the 66 vehicles that met the replacement criteria outlined in Administrative Order Number 3, only 42 vehicles were selected for replacement. Of the 42 units selected for replacement, 7 vehicles were downsized. 2004-05 $ 90.5 Connecting Community, Place, and Spirit CHANGE CHANGE $ 5.6 6.6% A new initiative began in 2003 with the ultimate goal of connecting community, place, and spirit. The initiative was kicked off with a conference held in March 2003, which brought together a wide range of community members as well as City staff to begin a collective dialogue about the future. Over the past year, the process continued as twelve community focus groups were held throughout the City, attended by more than 400 citizens, to discuss the themes generated at the conference. All the information was distilled and presented in a Council workshop. At the workshop, Council developed their vision for the look and feel of the City’s future civic centers and city government buildings. $ 147.6 Based on the Council’s direction, there are several goals included in the 2004-05 budget to begin the design of the vision. The Centre City Gateway project will be developing a land use vision and strategy process for the coastal area near the center of the City. The Capital Improvement Program contains funding for the land use plans for a City/ Safety Training facility and a Public Works center and the 2004-05 operating budget contains $50,000 to begin work on a conceptual plan for a Civic Center Plaza. Besides designing the hardscape for the City, there is also $40,000 in the 2004-05 budget to continue the work of community engagement - continuing the dialogue about what the citizen’s want and what they can do together to connect community, place and spirit in Carlsbad. $ 4.9 3.4% Budget by Fund Type This table below shows the changes in the operating budget for fiscal year 2004-05 compared to the adopted budget for fiscal year 2003-04.

However, this should not diminish the importance of the other operating funds, as they also contribute to the array of services available within Carlsbad. The remainder of this section will provide more information about the proposed budgeted expenditures by fund and program. General Fund Total budget for the General fund is $90.4 million, which is 6.5 % more than the previous budget of $84.9 million. As can be seen in the graph below, the increase is mainly due to the increase in personnel costs. Personnel costs make up approximately 65% of the General fund budget so any changes in those cost can have a significant effect on the total budget.

The PERS rates have increased due to the implementation of enhanced benefits as well as the effect of investment losses in the plan. These rates are expected to increase again the following year and then level off Drovided PERS investments generate a reasonable return. Workers Compensation, as mentioned earlier, has increased due to an increase in claims. The Council Contingency account, which is available for unanticipated emergencies or unforeseen program needs, is budgeted at $2.3 million, or approximately 2.5% of the 2004-05 General fund budget, which is consistent with the $2.3 million budgeted in the prior year. During 2003-04, less than $1 50,000 of the contingency account was used. Non-departmental expenses include payments for debt service, transfers to other funds, and administrative and other expenses not associated with any one department. The largest increase is an $800,000 transfer to the Capital Improvement Program to partially fund the artificial turf project planned for Stagecoach Park. In addition, the Infrastructure Replacement fund transfer was increased by $225,000. This amount is budgeted at about 4% of General fund revenues. The increases were offset by a decreases of approximately $563,000 which was a transfer from the General fund to the Information Technology fund to help fund the CAD hardware costs and a the transfer from the General fund to the Storm Water Protection Program Exhibit 1 Special revenue fund in the amount of $1.2 million. Both of these items were in the previous year’s budget but are not budgeted in 2004-05. 2004-05 $ 3.7 The remainder of the changes in the recommended General fund budget are relatively minor. These are addressed below by Major Service Area (MSA).

This budget is essentially the same as last year other than a decrease in the City Clerks budget, which is the result the reductions in Records charges for support to the City Clerk due to the conversion of Records from an Internal Service fund. There were minimal changes in the total budget for Administrative Services. The decline is due to a one-time charge for a new cash management system in the previous year. The growth in Public Safety is due, for the most part, to increases in personnel costs. In the Community Development area, the 2.6% increase is mainly due personnel cost increases offset by declines in one-time costs for the “Connecting Community, Place, and Spirit” program. In the Community Services area, the 4.1% increase is mainly due to the personnel cost increases. The Seniors program shows a 12.9% increase due to the movement of both revenues and costs for the Senior Daytrippers programs from the Special Revenue fund to the General fund budget. The costs of this program are 100% offset by revenue so there is no net cost to the General fund. Public Works shows an overall increase of 7.4%. The largest increase is in the Engineering division. Both plancheck and inspection costs have risen sharply over the past two years due to development activity. It is expected that once development slows down, these costs will also decline. Capital outlay expenses totaling approximately $521,000 have been included in the General fund budget. Changes In Other Funds Special Revenue funds, at $10 million, show an increase in anticipated spending of approximately $325,000, or 3.4%. Most of the increase can be attributed to an increase in Exhibit 1 Housing Assistance Payments of $493,000 for the Section 8 program based on a projected 1% increase in lease rate. Of special note is the Median Maintenance fund. This is a Citywide Landscape Maintenance fund, which collects assessments paid by property owners to pay for the maintenance of the City’s medians. Using current budget estimates for maintaining current service levels, staff anticipates that this fund will run short of cash by approximately $309,000 by the end of fiscal year 2005. A loan from the General fund is included in the budget to cover the shortfall until a solution can be determined. Staff will presenting options to Council on the Lighting and Landscaping District #I which includes the medians. The assessments in this District cannot be increased without a vote of the property owners. Enterprise funds total $31.5 million, which is a decrease of $1 million, or 3.3%. The most significant change is in the Sanitation budget. The decrease is due to 2 special projects in fiscal year 2004. The first is $975,000 for access hole rehabilitations and the second project is $105,000 for flow monitoring and video inspections. These were one-time projects. As part of the ongoing financial management program, the City annually prepares five-year forecasts for both the Water and Sanitation funds. The forecast for the Water Enterprise shows that the fund will carry some cash balances forward over the next year as the construction of the 4 MGD recycled water plant and related water lines is completed. When that plant goes into service, the operating requirements will be reevaluated. During the next year, no water rate increases are anticipated. For the Sanitation fund, the forecast shows that a rate increase in the range of 3-4% will most likely be needed in 2006-07 to keep the fund balance reserve within the desired range of 40% of the Operating budget. The Internal Service fund budgets decreased in total by $265,000 million, or 1.9%. The Internal Service funds are self-supporting through user charges. Changes occurred in a number of these funds: rn The Worker’s Compensation fund budget was increased by $895,000 due to changes in State law and overall increases in health care costs which have caused workers compensation claims to increase significantly over the past two years. . The Health Insurance budget shows a decline of $500,000 due to the change from the self-insured plan to the CalPERS Health Plan effective July 2003. Fiscal year 2003-04 included appropriations to pay for incurred but unreported claims as of June 30, 2003. As of January 2004, all of the claims from the self-insured plan have been settled and this budget only includes dental, vision and life insurance costs. rn The Vehicle Replacement fund budget varies from year to year depending on the need for replacements. A list of the requested vehicle replacements can be found at the end of this document. . The Information Technology fund shows a decrease in its budget of $451,000. This is mainly due to the $853,000 budgeted in the FY04 for hardware for the Public Safety Technology Plan (computer-aided dispatch and related components). Exhibit 1 The Redevelopment Agency budgets have increased for 2004-05 by a total of $254,000. This is mainly due to additional amounts budgeted for the South Carlsbad Redevelopment Area. Implementation of the Master Plan is beginning, so more of staffs time and consultant time is being spent in this area. SUM MARY The City of Carlsbad has fared well from an economic viewpoint. It is evident that the planning and foresight by the City Council and residents have provided a sound economic base for the City. The increased job opportunities from the development of the industrial and commercial areas, as well as Carlsbad’s reputation as a quality city, are keeping the demand for housing growing, which in turn increases the property tax base. The continued opening and expansion of the commercial ventures enhance Carlsbad’s standing as a destination resort and give it the revenues needed to provide quality services to the citizens and businesses. All of these events add to the diversity and strength of Carlsbad’s economic base, which will provide the funding for additional services needed to maintain the quality of life in Carlsbad. The challenges for the future will revolve around changing from a developing City to a fully built City; it will be about managing costs while continuing to look for appropriate revenue streams sufficient to pay for the services desired by the citizens. This year’s budget reflects the anticipated achievement of Council’s vision and goals for the City. It allocates the available funding in a manner that proactively plans for the future. This plan will provide top-quality services to all who live, work, and play in Carlsbad.
