The following objectives for FY 2017-18 were established in line with conservative estimates for
future revenue growth:
• Continue to provide excellent services to our residents.
• Provide adequate staff resources to meet community priorities and high service level
expectations.
• Allow departments to meet escalating costs by providing a modest two percent increase for
maintenance and operations.
• Exercise prudence in budgeting, consider cost containment measures and set discretionary
budgets at minimum levels.
The city's main General Fund revenue sources will continue to strengthen in the coming year,
increasing by over three percent overall. A strong housing market, aided by rising home prices
and the addition of new inventory is adding to the property tax base, while tourism continue to
put upward pressure on occupancy and average daily room rates, increasing transient occupancy
tax revenue. The national economy is growing slowly, well below three percent GDP, and
economists expect improvement in the coming years. Still, a host of threats, from contemplated
trade protection regulations to action by the Federal Reserve, may provide impediments to more
robust economic growth.
Stewardship of the city's resources is a core value of our City Council and staff, and we have
adopted financial policies and standards to ensure that we maintain our fiscal health and make
decisions today that will have positive effects tomorrow. As a past example, the City Council
created an assignment of funds in FY 2015-16 that can be used to address diminished revenues
in economic downturns, mitigating the need for drastic measures, such as reducing service levels
and access to public facilities in recessionary times. In FY 2016-17, the City Council created an
additional assignment of funds to mitigate CaiPERS pension rates in years when rates are
exceptionally volatile. City staff continues to monitor local, state and federal economic forecasts
and routinely updates a ten-year forecast for the General Fund in order to gauge the effects of
today's actions on the city's future.
The Preliminary Operating Budget for FY 2017-18 totals $257.3 million citywide, which represents
an increase of $7.1 million, or 2.8 percent, as compared to the FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget.
Operating revenues are estimated at $263.2 million, which is an increase of $4.4 million, or 1.7
percent, over the current year's projections.
The recommended Preliminary General Fund Operating Budget is $145.5 million, with estimated
revenues of $153.1 million. This is a 3.4 percent increase in the estimated General Fund revenues
as compared to the projected FY 2016-17 revenues, and a 2.6 percent increase in General Fund
budgeted expenditures compared to the FY 2016-17 adopted budget.
General Fund Estimated Revenues-The majority of the city's General Fund revenues come from
taxes. In the upcoming year, it is expected that property tax revenue will be approximately $64
million. This is an increase of 4.5 percent from the revised FY 2016-17 projections. This is based
on improving assessed valuations, as provided by the County Assessor in May 2017.
Page 365
Sales tax revenues generally move in step with economic conditions and have improved markedly
over the past five years (12.1 percent for FY 2012 to FY 2017). The city's sales tax base is heavily
weighted in the transportation and retail sectors. New auto sales, which comprise approximately
one-quarter of city sales tax revenue, have exceeded pre-recession levels and hit an all-time high
in the last quarter of 2016. City sales tax revenues are expected to increase by approximately 8.3
percent, or $2.7 million in FY 2017-18, contributing $34.9 million to the General Fund. This
significant increase is due to a temporary decrease in FY 2016-17 from one of the city's shopping
centers, currently in a transition period, as well as the timing of revenues at the expiration ofthe
triple flip, which resulted in a "cleanup" payment to the city received in the previous fiscal period.
The FY 2017-18 revenues for Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) are estimated at $22.2 million, an
increase of 3.0 percent compared to FY 2016-17 estimates. TOT has increased by over 67 percent
since FY 2011-12, as new hotels, such as the Legoland Hotel and the Hilton Cape Rey Carlsbad
Resort & Spa, have opened in the past years.
Franchise taxes are estimated at $5.5 million for FY 2017-18, relatively flat when compared to
the FY 2016-17 projections.
This year, FY 2016-17, development-related revenues are estimated at $3.5 million. In FY 2017-
18, we expect a decrease of $1.8 million (33.6 percent) as development-related activities are
expected to decrease following a spike in recent years.
General Fund Budgeted Expenditures -The General Fund contains most of the discretionary
revenues that fund basic core city services. The recommended General Fund Operating Budget
is $145.5 million, which represents a $3.7 million, or 2.6 percent, increase as compared to the FY
2016-17 Adopted Budget. Personnel cost increases of $2.6 million, or 3.0 percent, include
additional staff, both limited-term staffing to assist with succession planning and also permanent
staff to continue to provide excellent service to the community. Anticipated increases in health
insurance rates, higher retirement rates as projected by CaiPERS, and previously negotiated
salaries and benefits are also included in the increase. A two percent allowance for overall rising
costs, and other increases for items such as contractual services was provided, if needed. In
addition, some departments received an increase for special requests, such as funding to support
expanded code enforcement to accommodate evening and weekend activities.
Position Changes
A net increase of 8.0 permanent full-time positions and a reduction of 1.0 limited-term position,
when compared to the FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget, is reflected in the FY 2017-18 Operating
Budget. These position changes will result in an approximate citywide personnel increase of
$962,000 for the coming year. It should be noted that some of the eliminated and added
positions occur within the same department as a result of reorganization efforts to better align
staff resources with departmental and citywide priorities. For example, in Parks and Recreation,
one Park Maintenance Worker II was eliminated, and one Park Planner was added. In addition
to the summary below, more information about the added positions can be found in Exhibit 1
(Overview-Expenditures Section).
Page 366
The FY 2017-18 Operating Budget includes the decrease ofthe following 1.0 permanent full-time
position:
1.0 Park Maintenance Worker II
The FY 2017-18 Operating Budget includes the addition ofthe following 9.0 permanent full-
time positions:
3.0 Client Systems Associate Administrators
1.0 Deputy City Attorney
1.0 Park Planner
1.0 Property and Environmental Management Director
1.0 Records Technician
1.0 Senior Applications Analyst
1.0 Service and Release Manager
The FY 2017-18 Operating budget includes a net decrease of 1.0 limited-term positions:
Decrease of 2.0 positions:
1.0 Building Technician II
1.0 Senior Building Inspector
Increase of 1.0 position:
1.0 Senior Program Manager
The net increase in hourly staff totals 16.33 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, as shown
below:
1.50
9.83
5.00
Housing and Neighborhood Services
Parks and Recreation
Public Works
These changes result in a city workforce of 684.25 full and three-quarter time employees, 5.75
limited-term employees, and 179.09 hourly, full-time equivalent positions.
New Facilities-During the next year, there are additional park facilities which are planned for
completion, resulting in increased operating costs. The facilities are: Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch
Phase Ill (stables and restroomL Pine Avenue Community Park Phase Ill (community center and
gardens), Poinsettia Community Park Phase Ill (multi-sport arena, dog park, tot lot, and pickle
ball courts), and Aviara Community Park Phase II (outdoor gathering area). Annual operating
costs for these new facilities are estimated at $633,000, and include the addition of about 11 FTE
part-time positions. These facilities are expected to be open for only part of the next fiscal year,
at an estimated operating cost of $220,000.
Capital Outlay-There are three major capital outlay purchases (greater than $10,000) planned
in the General Fund for FY 2017-18:
• Livescan Fingerprinting Machine ($16A70)
Page 367
• Personal Protective Equipment Extractor and Drying Cabinets ($38,133)
• Safety Training Center Audio Visual Expansion ($75,000)
Other Budget Requests -The FY 2017-18 Preliminary Operating Budget also includes the
following transfers to other funds:
• $9,922,000 to the Infrastructure Replacement Fund for major maintenance and replacement
of city infrastructure. This represents 6.5 percent of the General Fund Revenues, the same
as the percentage transfer for FY 2016-17.
• $235,000 to the Storm Water Program for reimbursement for the General Fund portion of
Storm Water expenses.
• $750,000 to the Median Maintenance and Street Tree Maintenance Special Revenue Funds
to cover cash shortfalls, as annual assessments collected from property owners do not cover
annual operating expenditures.
• $1,500,000 to the city's Workers' Compensation Fund to cover increased claims settlements
and estimated liability.
Finally, the Contingency is budgeted at just under one percent of the General Fund Operating
Budget, or $1.5 million, for FY 2017-18, which is equal to the FY 2016-17 Contingency Budget.
This resource is available to the City Council to address unanticipated emergencies or unforeseen
program needs throughout the year.
Other Funds-Enterprise Fund revenues, including Water, Wastewater Services and Solid Waste
Management, are projected at $73.2 million, relatively flat over current year projected revenues.
The budgeted expenditures are estimated at $75.7 million for FY 2017-18, which is an increase
of $4.0 million, or 5.5 percent, over the FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget. The most significant change
in Water Operations is due to the estimated increase in the cost of water ($3.9 million) purchased
from the San Diego County Water Authority, and increased demand for recycled water as more
customers are added to the system. The Operating Budget also includes funding for depreciation
replacement transfers related to growth and aging of the water infrastructure system.
Wastewater operations are projected to increase 2.5 percent when compared to the FY 2016-17
Adopted Budget.
Golf Course operations are also expected to decrease $482,000, or 6.0 percent, over FY 2016-17.
In FY 2016-17, the outstanding bonds ofthe golf course were paid off, eliminating future annual
interest and principal payments. The reduction in debt payments ($1.1 million) was offset, in
part, by increases in capital improvements ($400,000) planned in the upcoming fiscal year.
Revenues from Special Revenue Funds at $11.9 million are expected to decrease $415,000 when
compared to FY 2016-17 estimates. While it is not unusual to see Special Revenue funds fluctuate
from year to year, the most significant decreases for FV 2017-18 are in Parking in-lieu fees and
grant revenues. Funding for special revenue funds includes grants, donations, special fees, and
Page 368
assessments. Revenues do not always match expenditures in a given year due to timing
differences related to the receipt of grant and donation funding, and the expenditure of those
funds.
More information regarding all of the city's projected revenues and Operating Budget
recommendations can be found in the attached exhibits.
FEES AND CHARGES FOR SERVICES
Each year city staff evaluates and proposes changes to fees and charges for services. An annual
review is conducted to ensure that the fees being charged do not exceed direct and indirect costs
of providing the service. A Cost of Service Study is prepared every two years, and was completed
in 2016-17. The Study is prepared to confirm that fees and charges for service do not exceed the
cost. For FY 2017-18, it is proposed that fees be adjusted by the one year change in their
associated index, unless the change in the index surpassed the cost of service. In this instance
the fee will be set at the cost of service.
Staff has reviewed all of the fee schedules and is recommending the changes as shown in Exhibit
6, City of Carlsbad Master Fee Schedule, June 2017, and further discussed below.

published by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, which reflects the cost of inflation. The one year
change in the West Urban CPI is 2.50 percent.
DEVELOPMENT RELATED SERVICE FEES
These are fees charged to recover the cost of staff time and materials spent on development
related activities. FY 2017-18 Development Related Service Fees are increased by an index stated
in the respective resolution or ordinance establishing the fee.
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
These fees are used to recover the cost that growth will have on city infrastructure. These fees
will be increased by the index stated in the respective resolution or ordinance establishing the
fee, typically the Engineering News Record (ENR) construction cost index.
FEE CHANGES
In addition to the annual inflationary increases, the following fee changes are proposed for FY
2017-18.

CITY OF CARLSBAD BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
• Walking, biking, public transportation and connectivity
Increase travel options through enhanced walking, bicycling and public transportation
systems. Enhance mobility through increased connectivity and intelligent transportation
management.
• Sustainability
Build on the city's sustainability initiatives to emerge as a leader in green development
and sustainability. Pursue public/private partnerships, particularly on sustainable water,
energy, recycling and foods.
• History, the arts and cultural resources
Emphasize the arts by promoting a multitude of events and productions year round.
Cutting edge venues to host world class performances, and celebrate Carlsbad's cultural
heritage in dedicated facilities and programs.
• High quality education and community services
Support quality, comprehensive education and lifelong learning opportunities, provide
housing and community services for a changing population, and maintain a high standard
for citywide public safety.
• Neighborhood revitalization, community design and livability
Revitalize neighborhoods and enhance citywide community design and livability. Promote
a greater mix of uses citywide, more activities along the coastline and link density to public
transportation. Revitalize the downtown Village as a community focal point and a unique
and memorable center for visitors, and rejuvenate the historic Barrio neighborhood.
In FY 2017-18, the city organization will continue to focus on achieving the nine core values that
make up the Carlsbad Community Vision, with an emphasis on six priority policy areas set by the
City Council at its annual goal workshop. These include: continuing improvements along the city's
coastline; enhancing the Village and Barrio areas; becoming a leader in multi-modal
transportation and traffic management; lowering the railroad tracks below street level in the Village
to improve safety and protect the local character; promoting lifelong learning through education
partnerships; and planning for a new City Hall that will meet the future workplace and operational
needs of the city and community.
The capital improvement and operating budgets will also enable the city to continue its excellent
level of service to the community by investing in core services such as infrastructure maintenance,
police and fire services, parks and open space management and economic development.
Carlsbad's operating budget is a tool that guides the achievement of the Council's vision, goals,
and priority projects for the city. The budget allocates resources to city programs in accordance
with priorities established by residents and the Council. Thus, it is an integral part of making
Carlsbad a wonderful community in which to live, work and play. In addition, the budget is fiscally
conservative and balanced, and provides a· blueprint to effectively sustain the community and
essential city services far into the future.

on a strategy to pursue investment in less risky, and volatile, assets within its investment portfolio.
CaiPERS will be reducing the assumed rate of return on the pension investment portfolio from
7.5 percent to 7 percent over a three year period in order to meet this strategic goal. Because of
the lengths of time involved in pension investing and the fact that CaiPERS is a mature plan, the
effects of this half point decrease in the rate of return will increase annual pension costs to the
city in the future. Increases will not be seen in the operating budget until FY 2018-19, so this
proposed budget is not affected by this change in the coming fiscal year. Between FY 2018-19
and FY 2020-21, pension costs will increase between six and twelve percent per year. This may
not be the last such action by CaiPERS -the CaiPERS Board will contemplate a further drop in
the assumed investment rate (or discount rate) at the February 2018 meeting. The forecast does
not consider increases in personnel beyond FY 2017-18, except those that may be related to the
operating costs of new city facilities supported by the General Fund. Negotiated salary increases
and future salary growth projections are included in personnel costs in the forecast, in order to
provide a conservative estimate of future costs. The contribution from the General Fund to the
Infrastructure Replacement Fund is forecasted to remain at 6.5 percent of General Fund
revenues. Finally, the forecast includes estimated operating costs for all capital projects in the
timeframes shown in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
As indicated in the graph on the previous page, the General Fund is balanced for FY 2017-18 and
revenues exceed expenses over the life of the forecast. Although the revenue forecast is positive,
Carlsbad faces the same challenges that plague the national and state finances, including
pension costs that are more volatile and the overall health of the economy. Despite these threats,
responsible fiduciary stewardship and planning have placed the city in a position to benefit from
even modest improvements in the economic environment.

CITY OF CARLSBAD BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
Long-term financial planning is a best practice approved by GFOA's Executive Board. The best
practice concepts related to long-term financial planning are as follows:
It allows the city to execute a long-range financial plan and supports the overall city strategic plan.
It is a highly collaborative process that considers future scenarios and helps governments
navigate challenges.
Financial forecasting is the process of projecting revenues and expenditures over a long-term
period, using assumptions about economic conditions, future spending scenarios, and other
salient variables.
Long-term financial planning is the process of aligning financial capacity with long-term service
objectives.
GFOA recommends that all governments regularly engage in long-term financial planning that
encompasses the following elements and essential steps:
• Time Horizon. A plan should look at least five to ten years into the future. Governments
may elect to extend their planning horizon further if conditions warrant.
• Scope. A plan should consider all appropriated funds, but especially those funds that are
used to account for the issues of top concern to elected officials and the community.
• Frequency. Governments should update long-term planning activities as needed in order
to provide direction to the budget process, though not every element of the long-range
plan must be repeated.
• Content. A plan should include an analysis of the financial environment, revenue and
expenditure forecasts, debt position and affordability analysis, strategies for achieving and
maintaining financial balance, and plan monitoring mechanisms, such as scorecard of key
indicators of financial health.
• Visibility. The public and elected officials should be able to easily learn about the long-
term financial prospects of the government and strategies for financial balance. Hence,
governments should devise an effective means for communicating this information,
through either separate plan documents or by integrating it with existing communication
devices.
TEN-YEAR GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL FORECAST
• The Administrative Services Department will prepare and maintain a ten-year financial
forecast of revenues and expenditures for the General Fund.
• This tool will be used during the annual City Council goal setting and the development of
the annual operating and capital budgets.
• The financial forecast will be updated at least twice each year, or more often if unexpected
changes in economic conditions or other unforeseen circumstances warrant more frequent
updates.
• The plan will include impacts and timing of new facilities, programs, and mandates.
• Any significant changes will be reported to the City Manager and City Council.
STRUCTURALLY BALANCED BUDGET
Page 384
CITY OF CARLSBAD BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
• The city shall adopt an annual budget in which ongoing revenues equal or exceed ongoing
expenditures. If the long-range plan indicates periods where revenues may not equal or
exceed forecasted expenditures, options to correct the imbalance will presented for
consideration.
• Unexpected one-time revenues shall not be used to fund ongoing expenditures.
PLAN MONITORING: MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATUS REPORT
• Each month after the close of the books, the Finance Director will prepare and distribute
a Financial Status Report. The report will include, at a minimum, the following sections:
• General Fund Revenues-to provide information about the more significant General
Fund revenues, compared with the prior fiscal year, and compared with the current
fiscal year projections. Significant one-time and/or unplanned revenues are
discussed, as well as any other information considered helpful in understanding the
financial position of the General Fund.
• General Fund Expenditures -to provide information about General Fund
expenditures, compared with the prior fiscal year, and compared with the current fiscal
year projections. Significant one-time occurrences are explained, as well as any
trends or other information considered helpful in understanding the financial position
of the General Fund and the operations of the city. A table of expenditures by
department is provided with a current year budget-to-actual comparison.
• City Council Contingency -the annual adopted budget generally includes
authorization to appropriate funds (Council Contingency) to be used at the Council's
discretion. Expenditures from this account are one-time expenditures and for items
expected to have a positive impact on the citizens and community of Carlsbad, such
as:
• Special Events
• Community projects
• Donations (usually for non-profit groups/organizations)
• Water and Wastewater Utility Operating Revenues and Expenditures-to provide
an overview of revenues and expenditures compared with prior year actuals and the
current year budgeted amounts. Since these are enterprise funds, operating
incomes/losses are discussed.
FIFTEEN-YEAR CAPITAL PROJECT FINANCIAL PLAN
• The Finance Department will prepare and maintain a fifteen-year financial plan for capital
project development and construction (this plan will include all funds that have capital
projects: such as the water and wastewater asset construction funds).
• The financial plan is updated at a minimum each fiscal year, or more often if unexpected
changes in economic conditions or other unforeseen circumstances prompt more frequent
updates.
• Annually in conjunction with the budget process, staff will review the proposed timing of
the projects in the plan to make sure that resources are available and that the timing is
appropriate.
• Any significant changes are reported to the City Manager and City Council.
• All known future revenues and expenditures are incorporated into the fifteen-year plan to
create cash flows, and any foreseen shortfalls are reviewed.
Page 385
CITY OF CARLSBAD BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
• If there is not sufficient funding projected to pay for a planned project, the project is still
shown in the project schedule, in the "unfunded" section. Staff will pursue funding options
for the projects on the unfunded list.
• Operating impacts of completed capital construction facilities are incorporated into the
General Fund ten-year financial forecast or the long-range financial plan of the funds
affected, as soon as the timing is relatively certain.
TEN-YEAR WATER AND WASTEWATER OPERATING FUND FINANCIAL FORECAST
• The Utilities Department and Finance Department will jointly prepare and maintain a ten-
year financial forecast of revenues and expenditures for the Water Operating Fund and
the Wastewater Operating Fund.
• The financial forecast will be updated at least once a year as part of the annual budget
process, or more often if unexpected changes in economic conditions or other unforeseen
circumstances warrant more frequent updates.
• Utility rates and charges will be evaluated annually and increases (or decreases) will be
recommended in order to meet the long-range financial objectives of each utility.
• Cost of Service study -The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends
that water utilities' revenues from water service charges, user rates, and capital charges
(impact fees and system development charges) should be sufficient to pay for:
• Annual operation and maintenance expenses
• Capital costs including debt service and other capital outlays
• Adequate working capital and required reserves
A periodic cost of service study ensures that sufficient revenues are generated for the
above expenses, and that rates and charges are equitably established. The Utilities
Department and Finance Department will conduct a Water/Wastewater Cost of Service
review at least once every five years or as necessary due to significant changes in system
costs and/or system operations.
• Any significant changes will be reported to the City Manager and City Council.
OPERATING RESERVE POLICIES
PURPOSE:
To provide guidelines to the City Council and staff for establishing, maintaining and the annual
review of a minimum and target reserve level for the General Fund and proprietary funds listed
below.
BACKGROUND:
The city acts as a steward of public funds -one of the most significant responsibilities of the City
Council, Boards, and managers. Adequate reserves are a necessary component of the city's
overall financial management strategy and can help offset current and future risks.
The establishment and adherence to fiscal reserve policies enables the city to:
• protect the interest of the public and provide rate stabilization and funding, if needed
• address short-term temporary unplanned losses (revenue and expenditure)
Page 386
CITY OF CARLSBAD BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
• provide stability during economic cycles, allowing the organization to weather significant
economic downturns
• address unfunded mandates
• manage the consequences of outside agency actions that may result in revenue
reductions
• address unexpected emergencies from natural disasters or catastrophic events caused
by human activity
• address excessive liabilities or legal judgments against the organization
• provide continuity in service delivery
It is the policy of the City of Carlsbad to maintain reserve levels as noted in the following sections,
for unforeseen events such as those listed above.
A review of all reserves listed below will occur as part of the annual budget process, and during
the rate-setting process for the wastewater and water utility enterprises.
GENERAL FUND
The city has a reserve policy in place (Council Policy 74) which sets a minimum reserve at 30
percent of the General Fund Operating Expenditures and a target reserve of 40 to 50 percent
unassigned fund balance of the General Fund Operating Expenditures. The reserve is calculated
using the prior fiscal year's Adopted General Fund Budgeted Expenditures (including routine
operating transfers and the Council Contingency).
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
• Wastewater Operating Fund
• The city will target a reserve funding level of 40 percent. The reserve amount is
calculated by dividing unassigned fund balance by total budgeted operating
expenses plus replacement transfers plus budgeted debt service payments.
• The annual budget process and setting utility user rates and charges will be used
to achieve and maintain the target reserve level.
• Water Operating Fund
• The city will target a reserve funding level of 40 percent. The reserve amount is
calculated by dividing unassigned fund balance by total budgeted operating
expenses plus replacement transfers plus budgeted debt service payments.
• The annual budget process and setting utility user rates and charges will be used
to achieve and maintain the target reserve level.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
• Workers' Compensation Fund
• The city will maintain a minimum reserve equal to the estimated outstanding claims
as calculated by a third-party administrator. Additional reserve amounts may be
set aside as deemed appropriate based on a third-party actuarial study completed
at two year intervals.
Page 387
CITY OF CARLSBAD BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
• During the annual budget process, the target confidence level will be compared
with the projected fund balance, and, if the projected fund balance is greater than
or lesser than the target, a plan to adjust the fund balance will be considered, using:
• Increasing revenues through interdepartmental charges
• One-time cash contributions from those funds contributing to the shortfall
• Risk Management Fund (General Liability)
• The city will maintain a minimum reserve equal to the estimated outstanding claims
as calculated by a third-party administrator. Additional reserve amounts may be
set aside as deemed appropriate based on a third-party actuarial study completed
at two year intervals.
• During the annual budget process, the reserve level will be compared with the
projected fund balance, and, if the projected fund balance is greater than or lesser
than the target, a plan to adjust the fund balance will be considered, using:
• Increasing revenues through interdepartmental charges
• One-time cash contributions from those funds contributing to the shortfall
• Information Technology Asset Replacement Fund
• The city shall maintain a minimum reserve level defined as the amount of
accumulated depreciation of IT capitalized assets based on the original cost of
each capitalized asset, and up to a maximum reserve level defined as the
accumulated depreciation based on the estimated replacement cost (calculated
annually by the Information Technology Department) of each capitalized asset.
• If, during the annual budget process, the fund does not have sufficient cash
balances to achieve the minimum reserve level, a plan to increase cash balances
will be proposed using:
• Increasing revenues through interdepartmental charges
• One-time cash contributions from those funds contributing to the shortfall
• If, during the annual budget process, the fund has excess cash balances, a plan
to decrease cash balances will be proposed using:
• Decreasing revenues from interdepartmental charges
• One-time refunds to those funds contributing to the excess
• Vehicle Asset Replacement Fund
• The city shall maintain a minimum reserve level defined as the amount of
accumulated depreciation of capitalized Fleet assets based on the original cost of
each capitalized asset, and up to a maximum reserve level defined as the
accumulated depreciation based on the estimated replacement cost (calculated
annually by the Public Works Department) of each capitalized asset.
• If, during the annual budget process, the fund does not have sufficient cash
balances to achieve the recommended reserve level, a plan to increase cash
balances will be proposed using:
• Increasing revenues through interdepartmental charges
Page 388
CITY OF CARLSBAD BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
• One-time cash contributions from those funds contributing to the shortfall
• If during the annual budget process the fund has excess cash balances, a plan to
decrease cash balances will be proposed using:
• Decreasing revenues from interdepartmental charges
• One-time refunds to those funds contributing to the excess
GENERAL FUND ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY ASSIGNMENT
In addition to the operating reserve, on June 30, 2015, the City Council set aside $10 million from
the General Fund unassigned fund balance to mitigate revenue losses should another recession
occur. Unlike the General Fund reserve, these funds could be used for ongoing operating
expenditures to ensure the continuation of services with minimal impact to the public.
GENERAL FUND CALPERS RATE INCREASE ASSIGNMENT
On June 28, 2016, the City Council set aside $10 million from the General Fund unassigned fund
balance to mitigate CaiPERS pension rates in years when rates increase, to alleviate stress on
ongoing resources. Unlike the General Fund reserve, these funds could be used for ongoing
operating expenditures to ensure the continuation of services with minimal impact to the public.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The city has also established a formal Investment Policy. It is the policy of the City of Carlsbad
to invest public funds not required for immediate day to day operations in safe, liquid and medium-
term investments that shall yield an acceptable return while conforming to all California statutes.
It is intended that the policy cover the investment activities of all contingency reserves and inactive
cash under the direct authority of the city. Investments of the city and its component units will be
made on a pooled basis; however, investments of bond proceeds will be held separately if
required.
FINANCING OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
Council Policy 33 outlines the city's policies for financing public improvements, primarily to
complete links in the city's traffic circulation system. Improvements generally include streets and
highways, sewer lines, water lines, drainage facilities, and other improvements as authorized by
law and which the City Council has determined are consistent with the policy.
The underlying principals behind the policy are:
• To protect the public interest;
• To ensure fairness in the application of the assessments, special taxes, or fees to current
and future property owners;
• To ensure full disclosure to current and future property owners of the special district;
• To ensure the creditworthiness of any special district debt;
• To protect the city's credit rating and financial position;
• To ensure that the applicants for special district proceedings, other than city-initiated
proceedings, pay all costs associated with the formation of any special district;
• To establish one policy regarding the requirements that must be met before the City
Council will consider approving the financing of public improvements using special
districts;
Page 389
CITY OF CARLSBAD BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
• To provide city staff, the residents of the city, and owners and developers of property
located within the city with guidance in the application for and consideration of the
establishment of special districts; and
• To incorporate the requirements of new legislation pertaining to the use of special districts.
The policy provides the framework for use of Assessment Districts, Community Facilities Districts,
and Bridge and Thoroughfare Districts. The public improvements must be located in the public
rights-of-way dedicated or otherwise granted to the city or other public agency, and construction
of the improvements must serve the public interest as well as the benefit conferred on the
properties within the proposed financing districts. The Policy describes property owner
requirements such as concurrence of a certain percent of property owners wishing to establish
the special district, financial capability and stability of the property owners and proposed project,
as well as the steps of the formation process.

2017-18 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
REVENUE
The Operating Budget for FY 2017-18 totals $257.3 million, with revenues for the year estimated
at $263.2 million. General Fund revenues are estimated at $153.1 million and General Fund
budgeted operating expenditures are $145.5 million.
The following table shows the total operating revenues anticipated to be received by the city for
FY 2016-17, as well as those estimated for FY 2017-18.

REDEV. OBLIG. RETIREMENT 3.2 3.8 0.6 19.0%
TOTAL $ 258.7 $ 263.2 $ 4.4 1.7%
Revenue estimates for the Operating Budget indicate that the city will receive a total of $263.2
million in FY 2017-18, a change of about $4.4 million over the projected FY 2016-17 revenues.
General Fund revenues are expected to increase by $5 million, compared to the prior year, as all
sources of revenue indicated in the table increase, with the exception of decreases in
development revenues and other revenues (such as interdepartmental revenues and fines and
forfeitures). Special Revenue funds decreased by over 3 percent, or $400,000, due to projected
decreases in donations, affordable housing revenues, and parking in-lieu fees. Enterprise Fund
revenues are projected to remain relatively flat in the upcoming fiscal year. More information on
the city's revenue sources is provided in the following discussion.
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 and Cultural
Arts, Street and Park Maintenance, and Recreation programs. The following table provides a
summarized outlook for the major General Fund revenues.

Page 391
2017-18 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
General Fund revenues continue to indicate a healthy local economy, as growth continues to be
positive. Almost 80 percent of General Fund revenues are derived from three sources -property
tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax (TOT). Sales tax receipts and TOT revenues tend to
be much more sensitive to changes in economic conditions, unlike property tax revenues, which
remain relatively stable because of the mitigating effect of Proposition 13, which limits annual
growth in assessed values. Property tax, the largest source of General Fund revenues, is
expected to grow by 4.5 percent in FY 2017-18, as assessed values continue to improve. The
median resale price of a single family residence (SFR) in Carlsbad is down slightly, 1.5 percent
to $814,000, as the city SE?es some weakness in two of the four sectors, namely, the southeast
and the northeast quadrants. However, if new construction and multifamily residences are
included, the median price is up by nine percent. Inventories in Carlsbad remain tight, down 14
percent from the reduced numbers seen at this time, last year. The low inventory should keep
upward pressure on home prices but, as mentioned previously, mortgage rates are expected to
increase in the coming years, prompted by economic factors and Fed monetary policy, which will
decrease home purchasers buying power.

Fiscal Year
Changes in property taxes revenues lag behind changes in the housing market, as the tax
revenue for the upcoming fiscal year is based on assessed values from January. Thus, the taxes
to be received for FY 2017-18 are based on assessed values as of January 1, 2017.
Proposition 13, adopted in 1978, limits the annual increase in assessed values for property.
Under this proposition, assessed values (and the related property tax) can grow by no more than
two percent per year. The value upon which the tax is based is only increased to the full market
value upon the sale of the property. Thus, property taxes tend to grow slowly unless there is a
significant amount of housing activity. In past decades, the city has seen robust growth in property
tax revenue due to new development, high turnover of existing homes, and double-digit growth in
housing prices.
Page 397
2017-18 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
There are also decreases in Vehicle Maintenance and Information Technology (IT) charges of
11 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively. Vehicle Maintenance revenues are decreasing in the
coming year due to lower than anticipated fuel costs. Some of the fluctuations from year to year
are due to the age of the fleet, the adherence to maintenance schedules, and unplanned repairs.
IT charges to departments are decreasing as a result of a transfer of costs for Police IT
management moving into the Police department operating budget.
Internal Service funds account for services provided within the city itself, from one department to
another, on a cost reimbursement basis. These include programs such as the self-insurance
funds for Workers' Compensation and General Liability (Risk Management), as well as Vehicle
Maintenance and Replacement, and Information Technology. Departments pay for these
services; therefore, the rates charged are based on the cost to provide the service. The goal of
an Internal Service fund is to match budgeted expenses with charges to the departments.
The Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund (RORF) revenues are budgeted at $3.8
million, $610,000 higher than FY 2016-17 estimates. Although the Redevelopment Agency has
been dissolved, the California Department of Finance has approved the repayment of the
approximately $8.1 million (plus accrued interest) loaned to both former redevelopment areas by
the General Fund. Loan payments of approximately $1 million per year will be made to the city,
and 20 percent of this repayment will be set aside for future affordable housing.

2017-18 OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
funds for special one-time projects as well as items funded in FY 2016-17 which are planned for
completion in FY 2017-18.
Budgeted Expenditures
Through the application of these guidelines and policies, the FY 2017-18 Operating Budget of
$257.3 million was developed.
Position Changes
An increase of 8.0 permanent full-time positions and a reduction of 1.0 limited-term position,
when compared to the FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget, is reflected in the FY 2017-18 Operating
Budget. These position changes resulted in an approximate citywide personnel increase of
$962,000 for the coming year.
The FY 2017-18 Operating Budget includes the decrease of the following 1.0 permanent full-
time position:
1.0 Park Maintenance Worker II
The FY 2017-18 Operating Budget includes the addition of the following 9.0 permanent full-time
positions:
3.0 Client Systems Associate Administrators
1.0 Deputy City Attorney
1.0 Park Planner
1.0 Property and Environmental Management Director
1.0 Records Technician
1. 0 Senior Applications Analyst
1.0 Service and Release Manager
The FY 2017-18 Operating budget includes a net decrease of 1.0 limited-term positions:
Decrease of 2.0 positions:
1.0 Building Technician II
1.0 Senior Building Inspector
Increase of 1.0 position:
1.0 Senior Program Manager
The net increase in hourly staff totals 16.33 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, as shown below:
1.50 FTE
9.83 FTE
5.00 FTE
Housing and Neighborhood Services
Parks and Recreation
Public Works
These changes result in a city workforce of 684.25 full and three-quarter time employees, 5.75
limited-term employees, and 179.09 hourly, full-time equivalent positions.
New Facilities
The city has a 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,
including additional personnel if necessary, are added to departmental operating budgets.
Page 400
2017-18 OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
During the next year, there are additional park facilities which are planned for completion
resulting in increased operating costs. The facilities are: Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch Phase Ill
(stables and restroom), Pine Avenue Community Park Phase Ill (community center and
gardens), Poinsettia Community Park Phase Ill (multi-sport arena, dog park, tot lot, and pickle
ball courts), and Aviara Community Park Phase II (outdoor gathering area). Annual operating
costs for these new facilities are estimated at $633,000, and include the addition of about 11
FTE part-time positions. These facilities are expected to be open for four to six months of the
next fiscal year, at an estimated operating cost of $220,000.

General Fund
The total Operating Budget for the General Fund for FY 2017-18 is $145.5 million, which is 3.7
million, or 2.6 percent greater than the previous year's Adopted Budget of $141.8 million. The
total increase is attributable to a $2.6 million (3 percent) increase in Personnel, a $600,000 (1.5
percent) increase in Maintenance & Operations costs, and a $200,000 overall decrease in

2017-18 OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
Capital Outlay, as can be seen in the table above. Transfers to other funds increased $700,000,
or 6.2 percent. These changes are discussed in more detail below.
Personnel costs make up approximately 62 percent of the General Fund budget, so any
changes in these costs can have a significant effect on the total budget. The total personnel
budget for FY 2017-18 is $90.3 million, which is $2.6 million, or 3 percent greater than the
previous year's total personnel budget of $87.7 million.

TOTAL $ 87.7 $ 90.3 $ 2.6 3.0°/.
The table above shows the breakdown of personnel costs for the General Fund. Salaries include
full and part-time staff costs and are expected to increase in FY 2017-18 by $1.7 million, or 2.9
percent. The increase is mainly due to anticipated wage increases scheduled to occur in FY
2017-18, as well as the net addition of 8.0 full-time staff, a decrease of 1.0 limited-term position,
and an increase of 16.33 part-time staff for new parks and recreation programs, and to assist
with day to day operations.
CaiPERS administers the city's defined benefit pension plan, and costs have been increasing in
past years as CaiPERS addresses a structural shortfall in plan assets to cover liabilities.
CaiPERS deliberately raised participating agencies' contributions over a number of years to
improve the plan's long-term funded status. The pension system continues to pursue strategies
that will make the plan sustainable in the long-term, such as investing in less risky assets, even
though this strategy will increase pension costs. There is some downward pressure on costs,
as new employees receive lower pension benefits, but the net change in pension costs is upward.
Miscellaneous, or General, employee pensions will increase by 4 percent in FY 2017-18 and
Safety pension contributions will increase by 5.4 percent, based on the most recent CaiPERS
actuarial evaluation.
Health insurance costs are up 3.6 percent, and Workers' Compensation expense is projected to
increase 15.5 percent due to increasing liability estimates and settlements. Miscellaneous other
personnel costs, Medicare, unemployment and disability, are projected to decrease by $100,000,
or 7.2 percent in FY 2017-18.
Departments with part-time hourly employees were given a 2.5 percent increase. The annual
impact of the adjustments was estimated at $132,000.
Maintenance and Operations costs (or M&O) represent about 29 percent of the total General
Fund budget, and include the budgets for all program expenses other than personnel, capital
outlay and transfers. Overall, total M&O costs are projected at $42.7 million, an increase of
about $600,000, or 1.5 percent, for FY 2017-18 as compared to FY 2016-17. Despite the 2
percent escalator provided for M&O costs, this increase was offset by decreases of one-time
Page 402
2017-18 OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
expenditures from the previous fiscal year, and decreases in the internal service charges.
Maintenance & Operations costs are discussed more fully by program later in the report.
Capital Outlay includes budgeted equipment purchases over $1,000. Capital outlay purchases
of $136,000 million are budgeted in the General Fund for FY 2017-18. The complete list listed
of proposed capital purchases is shown on page 1-1.
Transfers are amounts anticipated to be transferred from the General Fund to another city fund.
The transfers included in the adopted budget are as follows:
• $9,922,000 to the Infrastructure Replacement Fund for major maintenance and
replacement of city infrastructure. This represents 6.5 percent of the General Fund
Revenues, the same as the percentage transfer for FY 2016-17.
• $235,000 to the Storm Water Program for reimbursement for the General Fund portion
of Storm Water expenses.
• $750,000 to the Median Maintenance and Street Tree Maintenance Special Revenue
Funds to cover cash shortfalls, as annual assessments collected from property owners
do not cover annual operating expenditures.
• $1,500,000 to the city's Workers' Compensation Fund to cover increased claims
settlements and estimated liability.
Advances are amounts anticipated to be transferred from the General Fund to other city funds
and are expected to be repaid to the General Fund in future years. No General Fund advances
are included in this year's Operating Budget.
Another way of looking at the General Fund budget is by program. The chart below compares
the total FY 2017-18 Budget to the amounts adopted in the previous year. A brief description of
each department and its services and a summary of significant department budget changes in
the FY 2017-18 Operating Budget, are noted below the chart.

2017-18 OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
$200,000 in funding was added to pay for 10 FTE part-time staff and operating costs for
the months the facilities plan to be operational (between four and six months depending
on which facility). In addition to funding the operating costs of the new facilities, the
upcoming budget includes the elimination of a Park Maintenance Worker and the addition
of a Park Planner.
• The Carlsbad Police Department provides high quality public safety services to the
community by enforcing laws and ordinances, preserving the peace, and providing for
the protection of life and property. Overall, the department's costs are increasing by just
under $1 million, or 2.9 percent, for FY 2017-18, almost entirely in personnel costs. At
this time, the funding for the two police officer positions has been returned, at an annual
cost of $295,000.
• Public Works Administration division reflects an increase of $360,000 (20.4 percent).
Staffing changes reflect the addition of a Property and Environmental Management
Director position to enhance the management team of the Public Works department. In
addition, funding for temporary help was reallocated to fund an increase of 1.0 FTE part-
time positions.
• The Public Works Environmental Management division manages the city's
environmental programs, which include storm water, habitat and other environmental
maintenance and monitoring programs as well as the implementation of the Climate
Action Plan. A slight decrease in funding is due to one-time costs which were included
in the adopted FY 2016-17 budget. In addition, funding for temporary help was
reallocated to fund an increase of 0.5 FTE part-time positions.
• The Public Works General Services division oversees the city's fleet and manages the
maintenance of all city-owned facilities, street and storm drain maintenance, and the
Safety Training Center. The FY 2017-18 budget remains relatively flat when compared
to the prior fiscal year. A reduction in costs occurred as a result of real estate
management activities transferring to the City Manager's department, under the oversight
of the Real Estate Manager position that was added in the previous fiscal year. This
decrease was offset by one-time funding for upgrades to the Safety Training Center Audio
Visual equipment. Funding was also included for 1.0 FTE part-time positions to provide
custodial services for the new park facilities for part of the upcoming fiscal year. In
addition, funding for temporary help was reallocated to fund an increase of additional 0.50
FTE part-time positions.
• The Public Works Transportation division manages traffic signal operations and
planning, roadway capital projects, asset management (such as the pavement
management program), construction management and inspections, and storm drain
engineering. The FY 2017-18 budget reflects a decrease of $257,000, or 3.9 percent
over FY 2016-17. One full-time FTE was reallocated to other divisions within Public
Works to accommodate organizational changes made between the divisions. In addition,
funding for temporary help was reallocated to fund an increase of additional 0.50 FTE
part-time positions.
• Non-departmental expenses include the transfers previously discussed, the Council
Contingency account, and administrative and other expenses not associated with any
one department. The non-departmental budget is expected to increase slightly in FY
2017-18, and reflects an increase in the annual transfer to the Infrastructure Replacement
Fund and the transfer to the Landscape and Lighting Districts for medians and trees.

2017-18 OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
Wastewater operations are projected to increase 2.5 percent; most of this is increase is in
anticipated personnel costs. There is an increase of 1.0 FTE as a result of reallocating positions
within the Utilities divisions to better reflect workload.
Golf Course operations are expected to decrease $482,000, or 6.0 percent over FY 2016-17. In
FY 2016-17 the outstanding bonds of the golf course were paid off, eliminating future annual
interest and principal payments. The reduction in debt payments ($1.1 million) was offset in part
by increases in capital improvements ($400,000) planned in the upcoming fiscal year.
The Internal Service funds total $22.8 million, with an overall decrease of $1.0 million, or 4.4
percent, over FY 2016-17. Significant changes are outlined below.
• The Workers' Compensation budget is anticipated to increase $150,000, or 3.5 percent,
due to estimated increasesin personnel costs.
• The General Liability/Risk Management budget reflects a very modest increase of
approximately $40,000, or 2.0 percent, due to increased legal costs associated with the
rising number of cases that have trials pending.
• The Self-Insured Benefits budget reflects no change from the previous fiscal year.
• The Vehicle Replacement budget shows a decrease of $1.3 million, or 36.1 percent.
There are 30 planned vehicle replacements in the upcoming year (as compared to 50 in
the current year), at a total cost of $2.3 million.
• The Vehicle Maintenance costs are expected to remain relatively flat, with a modest 1.3
percent increase ($40,000).
• The Information Technology budget includes both operating and replacement
expenditures. While the overall budget remains relatively flat, there are significant
changes being proposed. The budget reflects increasing personnel by 4 FTE to bring
the help desk back in house (3 Client Systems Associates, and 1 Service and Release
Manager). While it was previously envisioned that outsourcing this function would
improve internal customer service and provide financial and other efficiencies, this was
not the outcome. The cost of adding the service desk positions is almost entirely offset
with a reduction in outside service costs. The FY 2017-18 operating budget for IT also
includes 1 FTE for a Senior Applications Analyst position to support citywide applications.
• The budget for the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Funds (RORF) has
decreased about $200,000 to reflect changes to the anticipated repayment as well as
reduced administrative costs. The Recognized Obligation Payments Schedule (ROPS)
identifies financial commitments of the former Redevelopment Agency, including up to
$250,000 in allowable administrative costs, to be paid from semi-annual tax increment
revenue received by the Successor Agency and annual debt service
requirements. Every six months a new ROPS must be prepared and approved by the
Oversight Board, the County of San Diego and the State of California in order to receive
additional tax increment.

2017-18 OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
SUMMARY
The Operating Budget for FY 2017-18 provides a balanced budget for the coming fiscal year
while continuing with a long-term plan to sustain a balanced budget in future years. Significant
ongoing operating expenses were identified and incorporated in the FY 2017-18 proposed
spending plan. The Carlsbad economy is well diversified and continues to provide stability to the
city's revenue base, bolstered by strong assessed property values, retail sales, and tourism.
Most of the city's major revenue sources are improving with the exception of development
revenues, due to anticipated decreases in development activity following the spike in activity that
has occurred in the last few years.
Carlsbad continues to benefit from a strong and diverse economic base, and has maintained
financial policies that continue to protect the city from the vagaries of the business cycle,
increasing costs, and unfunded mandates. The city continues to evaluate opportunities to
strengthen financial policies, identify opportunities to improve business practices and provide the
greatest service level possible with finite resources, and continues to provide an environment
that fosters excellence.
The City of Carlsbad is entering the new fiscal year in a solid financial position and focused on
the future. Careful planning and responsible management have allowed the city to not only
maintain core services, but to also move ahead on community projects and other investments
that contribute to an excellent quality of life in our community. Promoting a strong local economy
and bringing more jobs to the city is a top priority. Due to continued fiscally conservative
practices, the city is in an excellent position to take advantage of new economic opportunities
that will allow this community to thrive now and for many years in the future.
