Executive Summary
The presentation of the preliminary fiscal year 2022-23 Operating Budget is an opportunity for
the City Council/Board/Commission and the community to review the proposed budget.
The budget maintains all core services at their current high levels and makes sizable
investments in community priorities while identifying significant areas of savings. For example,
at a time when the inflation is more than 8%, city departments reduced their General Fund
maintenance and operations costs by an average of nearly 2%. Other highlights include:
• This budget resumes the practice (halted because of the COVID-19 pandemic) of setting
aside money in advance for upcoming infrastructure maintenance and other known
needs. Counting these “transfers,” the proposed General Fund operating budget is 7%
higher than this year’s budget. Without counting the transfers, it’s 4% higher than this
year’s budget.
• The city’s General Fund reserve, which helps protect against emergencies and economic
downturns, remains above the City Council target of 40% of the annual operating
budget.
• A total of 22 new full-time positions and two temporary full-time positions are being
requested. Of these, 71% are new police, fire and lifeguard positions. The equivalent of
5.9 full-time positions are being eliminated.
On the economic front, the city’s transition from a growing city to one focused on maintaining
an excellent quality of life brings new fiscal challenges:
• The city’s recovery from the COVID-19 related economic downturn has been strong,
however many signs point to ongoing uncertainty and a potential recession.
• Based on current projections, the city expects expenses to exceed revenues starting
July 1, 2025 unless steps are taken to reduce future spending, increase revenue, or both.
• A citizens committee is currently working with city staff to develop a new approach to
managing growth that will include recommendations for future levels of service and
how to fund those services and maintain high quality infrastructure.
• Due to all these factors, city staff is taking a cautious approach to the fiscal year 2022-23
operating budget. The only increases being proposed include those that:
o Are required to meeting legal and regulatory needs.
o Support one of the five goals in the City Council’s strategic plan.
o Pass through the increasing costs of energy, fuel and other commodities.
o Maintain core city services at their current high levels.
Finally, the proposed budget marks the transition to allocating resources based on a City
Council five-year strategic plan, rather than goals that are subject to change from year to year.
A five-year plan allows city resources to be used more efficiently while improving the alignment
between the annual city budget and the Carlsbad community’s vision for the future.
Discussion
The annual operating budget is the most significant expression of how City Council policies are
translated into daily operations. The City Council sets the overall policy direction for Carlsbad
and helps staff prioritize programs, projects and services to support that direction.
May 24, 2022 Item #8 Page 2 of 245
In December 2021, the City Council began work on a five-year strategic plan to transform the
goal-setting process into a longer-term strategic framework that better aligns policies, day-to-
day operations and resources with the community’s most important values, needs and
aspirations.
Based on community input, the City Council identified five areas of focus for its five-year
strategic plan:
• Community Character: Maintain Carlsbad’s unique community character
• Economic Vitality: Foster a healthy economy
• Quality of Life and Safety: Prioritize the safety and well-being of the community
• Sustainability & Natural Environment: Protect the environment and natural resources
• Organizational Excellence & Fiscal Health: Be a model for effective and efficient local
government
The proposed budget includes new programs and services that support these areas. It also
continues to build on current efforts to ensure the Fire Department is prepared to meet the
community’s changing needs; reduce homelessness and its impacts; create a new plan to
manage growth while protecting Carlsbad’s future quality of life; and promote greater
environmental sustainability, including renaming the Environmental Management Department
the Environmental Sustainability Department, in line with the five-year strategic plan.
Maintaining good fiscal health remains a significant priority. The proposed operating budget
continues a series of budget process reforms and policies begun in 2018 with the goal of
increasing transparency in how the city manages its budget and implementing tighter controls
over spending. These have included:
• Eliminating an automatic annual increase to department budgets based on inflation.
Instead, increases are considered based on actual increased costs and only after
departments have exhausted alternatives for covering increased costs of doing business.
May 24, 2022 Item #8 Page 3 of 245
• Stopping the practice of allowing departments to automatically roll over 10% of unspent
money to the following fiscal year. Instead, departments may request to roll over funds
for a specific purpose based on a demonstrated need. These carry-forward requests
must then be approved by the City Manager or City Council, depending on the amount.
• Changed practices around the hiring of part-time temporary staff to ensure full
transparency around the actual personnel working for the city at any given time.
• Implemented new City Council budget policies, including stricter rules about how the
General Fund contingency fund could be used.
• A new challenge this year for all departments to reduce their General Fund operations
and maintenance budgets, resulting in a nearly 2% decrease during a time when
inflation is more than 8%.
General Fund reserve
The City Council has a policy of maintaining a reserve with the target balance equivalent to 40%
of the General Fund operating budget. These are the cash balances made available from the
prudent fiscal policy of bringing a balanced budget annually and at times seeing unexpected
revenues or expenditures coming in lower than the budget. One of the purposes of this reserve
is to protect against cyclical swings in the economy. The city is projected to end the upcoming
fiscal year with a reserve balance of 68% of the General Fund operating budget.
The recommended preliminary General Fund Operating Budget totals $198.3 million, with
estimated revenues of $198.8 million. General Fund revenues provide a representative picture
of the local economy. These revenues are of particular interest because they contain most of
the discretionary funds that pay for basic city services, such as police, fire, library and cultural
arts services, street and park maintenance and recreation. A summarized outlook of the major
General Fund revenues can be found in the operating budget overview.
The operating budget overview also contains a detailed look at expenditures by type, General
Fund transfers to other funds and information about the City Council contingency fund. The
chart below shows the adopted fiscal year 2021-22 General Fund budget as well as the
proposed fiscal year 2022-23 budget.

Personnel
The proposed budget for next fiscal year includes 806.75 permanent full- and three-quarter-
time employees, an increase of 24.0 compared to the final budget amount for fiscal year 2021-
22. Additionally, there is a proposed decrease of 5.931 part-time employees, for a net personnel
increase of 18.07.
These proposed personnel changes directly support one or more of the priorities identified in
the City Council’s five-year strategic plan.
The operating budget overview contains a full breakdown of personnel costs for the General
Fund and a comprehensive list of all full-time additions.
Lastly, enterprise fund revenues, including those from water, wastewater services and solid
waste management and the city’s golf course, are projected at $89.6 million, a $4.7 million or
5.6% increase over projected fiscal year 2021-22 revenues. The budgeted expenditures are
estimated at $92.9 million for fiscal year 2022-23, which is an increase of $6.5 million or 7.5%
over the fiscal year 2021-22 adopted budget. A more detailed look at the year-over-year
variances in the city’s enterprise funds, as well as information about the city’s other special
revenue funds, can be found in the operating budget overview.
General fees, charges for services and development impact fees
Each year city staff evaluate and propose changes to fees and charges for services. Staff
conduct an annual review to ensure that the fees being charged do not exceed direct and
indirect costs of providing the service. A comprehensive cost of service study is prepared every
three to five years to update the calculation of the cost and confirm that fees and charges for
service do not exceed the updated cost.
The last comprehensive cost of service study on most general city fees and all development
service fees was approved by the City Council on June 8, 2021. At that time, the City Council
provided direction to staff to implement the updated fee structures included in the Final Cost of
1 Part-time personnel figures are presented as their hourly, full-time equivalent.
May 24, 2022 Item #8 Page 5 of 245
Service Study and Fee Schedule Update Report and to increase existing fees to the low end of
the industry trend in cost recovery range, limited to a maximum annual increase of 10%
wherever possible. Based on this direction from City Council and the analysis for fiscal year
2022-23, staff is recommending the rates presented in the proposed Master Fee Schedule in
the attached Exhibit 4, as further discussed below.
General city fees are charged for the use of city services and property. Depending on the fee,
they are increased annually by the increase in the annual West Urban Consumer Price Index or
the San Diego Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, which
reflects the cost of inflation. The one-year change in the West Urban CPI is 7.7% and the change
in the San Diego CPI is 8.2%.
Development-related service fees are charged to recover the cost of staff time and materials
spent on development-related activities and change annually by the increase in the West Urban
CPI. Development impact fees are used to pay for infrastructure projects needed as a result of
increased development throughout the city. These fees will be increased by the index stated in
the respective resolution or ordinance establishing the fee, typically the Engineering News
Record Construction Cost Index.
Traffic Impact fees are adjusted annually by the change in the Caltrans Construction Cost Index
or 2%, whichever amount is greater. Ambulance fees are adjusted annually by the change in the
Ambulance Inflation Factor, published by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Fee categories and changes by fiscal year
*Habitat Mitigation fees are adjusted annually at half of the rate of the San Diego Area CPI.

In addition to the annual inflationary increases, the following fees include notable changes for
fiscal year 2022-23:
• Special Events application processing fees. They are charged by the Fire Department for
staff time required to review special event descriptions and site plans for adherence to
applicable fire codes and regulations. In prior fee schedules, these fees were set at
various tiers depending on the size of the event. The Fire Department has conducted a
review of the special event application process and determined that the size of the
event does not impact the amount of staff time required to process the application. The
structure of these fees has been simplified accordingly to include only one fee
regardless of event size.
• Affordable Housing in-lieu fees. On March 22, 2022, the City Council approved a change
to this fee. It was changed from one flat amount per market rate unit to one amount per
single-family market rate unit on a single-family lot, and a separate amount per square
foot of net building area per unit for residential development projects including
between two and six units. These new fees went into effect on April 1, 2022, and are
reflected in the proposed Master Fee Schedule.
• Library overdue fines. The city is one of only two agencies in San Diego County that still
charges late fines. Nationwide, there has been a significant movement away from
charging late fines as a way to bring more patrons into libraries and alleviate financial
pressure on library customers. There is a growing body of research that shows that late
fines discourage students, families and lower income individuals from using the library.
This research also shows that when agencies eliminate late fees, circulation tends to
increase. The city’s experience with deferring existing late fines and extending due dates
so that new fines would not accrue during the pandemic confirmed this. While this
temporary change was in place, the city actually received more returned items than
were being checked out and had a positive impact on community engagement with and
use of the library. This limited experience mirrored that of libraries that have
permanently eliminated late fines. Beyond San Diego County, Orange County, Los
Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles have also eliminated late fines. Staff propose
eliminating the city’s late fines as part of the proposed Master Fee Schedule. This
change is estimated to lead to a $69,000 net decline in fee revenue, although this would
decrease over time with the growing use of eMaterials.
One new fee has been added to the proposed Master Fee Schedule. The Carlsbad Municipal
Code incorporates the State of California Building Code by reference in Chapters 18.04.010 and
18.20.010. The State Building Code prohibits construction before obtaining permits on projects
that require them and states that violators shall be subject to a fine in addition to the permit
fee. Previously the city did not collect these fines, but in order to encourage compliance with
Code Enforcement in these cases, staff proposes a fee that is double the price of the applicable
permit in cases where construction begins before a permit is issued. Charging this fee will assist
Code Enforcement officers in curbing illegal construction.
Additionally, this year’s evaluation determined that the below fees are no longer in use and
staff recommend removing them from the Master Fee Schedule:
• E28 Recycled Water shutdown – deposit
May 24, 2022 Item #8 Page 7 of 245
• Sewer Benefit area fees for areas K and M
• City Clerk certification fee
Certain other fees in the proposed Master Fee Schedule will be increasing by more than 10% in
the upcoming fiscal year. Street Light energizing fees reflect changes in electricity prices
charged by SDG&E. During last fiscal year’s Master Fee Schedule update these fees increased
between 9% and 14%. In this year’s proposed Master Fee Schedule these fees are increasing
between 21% and 34%, reflecting the increase in energy prices over the last several months.
The Utilities Department conducted its own cost of service study this spring for certain fees not
included in the regular citywide cost of service study and found that some meter installation
and water service fees needed to increase by an amount greater than 10% to be closer to full
cost recovery and better reflect the cost of these services to the enterprise funds. In future
years, these fees will change similarly to other city fees, and increases will be limited to no
more than 10% as much as is feasible to ensure sound financial management of these
enterprise funds.
Increases to the city’s trash collection rates are set by the contracted service provider and go
into effect July 1, 2022. Details on these rates can be found in the proposed Master Fee
Schedule in the attached Exhibit 4.
Options
The City Council/Board/Commission may accept the report of the proposed fiscal year 2022-23
Operating Budget and Master Fee Schedule without changes and direct staff to set a public
hearing date of June 14, 2022, to consider adoption of the fiscal year 2022-23 Operating,
Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program and Capital Improvement Program
budgets, and the revised Master Fee Schedule.
The City Council/Board/Commission may also direct staff to make changes to the proposed
fiscal year 2022-23 Operating Budget and Master Fee Schedule prior to the public hearing date
of June 14, 2022. Any changes will be reflected in the final proposed budget documents
presented at the public hearing.
Fiscal Analysis
This is the preliminary Operating Budget for fiscal year 2022-23 and any changes made by staff
or the City Council/Board/Commission will be reflected in the final documents at the adoption
meeting on June 14, 2022.
Next Steps
On June 7, 2022, the City Council/Board/Commission will receive a report detailing the
proposed fiscal year 2022-23 Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program and Capital
Improvement Program budgets.
On June 14, 2022, the City Council/Board/Commission will hold the public hearing to consider
adoption of the new budgets and the revised Master Fee Schedule. Any changes directed by the
May 24, 2022 Item #8 Page 8 of 245
City Council/Board/Commission will be reflected in the final documents at the adoption
meeting on June 14, 2022.
Environmental Evaluation
This action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental
Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065. It has no potential to cause
either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical
change in the environment and therefore does not require environmental review.
Public Notification
Public notice of this item was posted in keeping with the state's Ralph M. Brown Act and it was
available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting date.

OPERATING BUDGET REVENUE SUMMARY
The Operating Budget for fiscal year 2022-23
totals $342.2 million, with revenues for the year
estimated at $339.8 million. General Fund
revenues are estimated at $198.8 million and
General Fund budgeted expenditures are $198.3
million, which includes $2.7 million in one-time
expenditures funded from General Fund
revenues to operationalize the City Council’s
goals and priorities. Excluding the one-time
expenditures, the General Fund budgeted
operating expenditures are $195.6 million.
Revenue estimates for the Operating Budget
indicate the city will receive a total of $339.8
million in fiscal year 2022-23, a change of 0.04%
or $0.1 million above the estimated fiscal year
2021-22 revenues. General Fund revenues are
expected to increase by $20 million compared
to the prior year’s adopted revenues and
decrease $6.2 million or 3% compared to fiscal
year 2021-22 estimates. Special Revenue funds are projected to decrease by 4.0% or $0.7 million over
fiscal year 2021-22 estimates. Enterprise Fund revenues are projected to increase by 5.6% or $4.7
million in the upcoming fiscal year. Internal service funds are increasing consistently with service level
additions in other departments. The Successor Agency Housing Trust revenues are expected to
decrease by $0.6 million as the loan owed to the General Fund was fully repaid by the end of fiscal
year 2020-21. More detailed information on the city’s revenue sources is provided in the following
discussion.
The following table shows the total operating revenues anticipated to be received by the city for fiscal
year 2021-22, as well as those budgeted for fiscal year 2022-23.

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 & Cultural Arts, Street
and Park Maintenance and Recreation programs. The table below provides a summarized outlook of
the General Fund revenues.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created immense uncertainty in the city’s revenues, most notably in
sales tax and transient occupancy tax. The fiscal year 2021-22 adopted budget had anticipated
continued adverse impacts from the pandemic with moderate recovery; however, current
estimations indicate sales tax and transient occupancy tax will reach historically high levels. While
sales tax revenues were budget at $43.9 million and transient occupancy tax was budgeted at $18.4
million, actual revenues are estimated at $50.3 million and $28.1 million, respectively. This was
mainly due to the staggered lessening of COVID-19 restrictions coupled with pent-up demand and
inflationary increases. While recovery from the pandemic was accelerated compared to original
estimates, new uncertainty surrounding the economy is rising. Significant inflationary increases and
its impacts on disposable income, tourism and the housing market indicate that maintaining a
conservative outlook for the city’s revenues in the future is most prudent.
Just over 80% of General Fund revenues are derived from three sources – property tax, sales tax, and
transient occupancy tax. 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 6% over last year’s
adopted budget and 2.3% over the fiscal year 2021-22 estimated amount. While the residential real
estate market in Carlsbad has seen significant increases in values, commercial property assessed values
are still expected to remain relatively flat. Due to the uncertainty and slowdown of economic activity
created from the COVID-19 crisis, commercial property transactions have been limited during the prior
year. Proposition 8 allows owners to have their property temporarily revalued if market value is lower
than the factored base year value, posing a risk that commercial property values could temporarily
decrease. While recovery from the pandemic has commenced, new uncertainties have grown
surrounding the economy, specifically inflation and impacts on disposable income and the housing
market. Commercial property prices are not anticipated to increase significantly on an annual basis.

Assessed values on the residential real estate are expected to grow modestly, capped by California’s
Proposition 13. 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 2% per year. The value upon which the tax is based is only increased to the full market value
upon the sale of a property. The maximum increase of assessed values when properties are not sold
is by the change in California’s Consumer Price Index, which was 1.036% in 2021-22 – below the 2%
cap for the first time since 2016-17. Residential activity has been driven by low interest rates on
mortgages, pent-up demand that built during the shutdown and an increase in the ability to work
remotely. Increasing rates and diminishing pent-up demand as we exit the pandemic will have an
impact compared to past experience. The median price of a single family residence in Carlsbad based
on resale data from Zillow is $1.4 million, up by 28.5% year over year in March 2022.
Changes in property tax revenues lag behind changes in the housing market, as the tax revenue for
the upcoming fiscal year is based on assessed values from the previous January. Thus, the taxes to be
received for fiscal year 2022-23 are based on assessed values as of January 1, 2022.
Property taxes tend to grow slowly unless there is a significant amount of development-related
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. However,
as opportunities for new development and growth lessen, development-related revenues have
slowed. In addition to recent interest rate increases, slower development combined with minimal
commercial property transactions and tax reform has caused a slowing in property tax growth in the
city.

Sales Tax revenues generally move in step with economic conditions and overall Carlsbad’s
economy has been neutral during the pandemic. The restrictions resulting from the COVID-19
pandemic have led to increases in segments like auto sales, construction, drug store sales, chemical
products, food markets and recreational products, while others like restaurants and general retail
took a major hit. The city has also benefitted from sales tax revenues on internet sales generated as a
result of the Wayfair or AB147 law that went into effect in October 2019.
Until fiscal year 2019-20 sales tax revenues had improved markedly, peaking in fiscal year 2018-19 at
$40.8 million. The onset of the pandemic in March 2020 resulted in swift reductions in sales tax
revenues and the city ended the year with $38 million in sales tax revenues. During fiscal year 2020-
21, impacts of COVID-19 on sales tax generally correlated with shelter-in-place mandates. As
restrictions were lifted, recovery was realized as fiscal year 2020-21 ended with $44 million in sales
tax revenues. However, fiscal year 2021-22 experienced the most accelerated recovery—the city is
estimated to end the year at a historic high of $50 million in sales tax revenues. Much of this recovery
resulted from the easing of restrictions and pent-up demand. As we move forward into fiscal year
2022-23, much uncertainty remains surrounding market and economic conditions like inflation and
impacts to disposable income. As a result, a conservative estimate of $49.1 million is budgeted for
fiscal year 2022-23 which represents a decrease of $0.9 million, or 2%, over fiscal 2021-22 estimates.
As indicated in the chart above, the city’s sales tax base is heavily weighted in the transportation
(comprised heavily of new auto sales) and general retail sectors, which combined account for over
half of taxable sales in Carlsbad. New auto sales are highly elastic—or responsive to changes in
price—in comparison to economic trends, and tax revenues from new auto sales fell precipitously
during the recession, from $6.7 million in 2007 to $4.4 million in 2009. Since that dip, auto sales tax
revenues hit a high of $12.2 million for the four quarters ended December 31, 2021. With general
retail sales tax suffering for the year ended December 31, 2020, the most recent four quarters have
shown full recovery increasing nearly 75% and reaching historic levels.

Revenues received under Proposition 72, a 0.5 cent increase in California sales tax for the funding of
local public safety services, is included in sales tax revenues.
The third highest General Fund revenue source is Transient Occupancy Tax, also known as TOT
or hotel tax. TOT was the revenue category most adversely impacted by COVID-19. From historic
highs of $26 million in fiscal year 2018-19, year-over-year decreases of 27% and 16% were
experienced. As of last year, TOT was expected to increase approximately 47%, marking the beginning
of an anticipated 3-year recovery. However, this recovery was accelerated with the easing of
restrictions and pent-up demand which resulted in TOT revenues reaching new historic highs. In fiscal
year 2021-22 TOT is estimated at approximately $28 million. While group business travel has yet to
fully return to pre-pandemic levels, uncertainty around rising inflation and diminishing pent up
demand drive a more conservative estimate in fiscal year 2022-23.
TOT has historically increased as new hotels—such as the two hotels at the Legoland California
Resort, Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach Resort and the Westin Hotel—have opened. The city saw the
opening of the Home2Suites and the Springhill Suites hotels during fiscal year 2021-22, but the
impact of new openings has been overshadowed by the COVID-19 disease containment and
suppression measures. As we move out of the pandemic, TOT revenues are anticipated to increase.
According to a report from Tourism Economics, San Diego County tourism will see significant growth
in visitation demand of around 36% in calendar year 2022 and another 9% in calendar year 2023. The
projected rebound is driven by lifted travel restrictions and the regions attractiveness for leisure
travel, offset by weak group and business travel. The following few years are expected to increase
steadily as group and business travel become more prevalent and increases in available rooms
continue. The City of Carlsbad currently has approximately 4,812 hotel rooms, 668 timeshares, and
over 357 registered vacation rentals.
Franchise Tax revenue has stabilized in recent years and is projected at $7.0 million in fiscal year
2022-23. Franchise taxes are paid by certain industries that use the city’s right-of-way to conduct
their business. The city currently has franchise agreements for cable TV service, solid waste services,

cell sites, fiber optic antenna systems and gas and electric services. The solid waste franchise fee
experienced minor revenue increases that mirror growth in population and changes in rate
structures. Cable TV franchise revenue is expected to decrease by 5% from $1.44 million to $1.36
million over the next fiscal year due to decreases in the number of paid subscription services. This
trend will most likely continue in future years as more subscribers cut cable services and move to
online streaming services.
In April 2021, a new franchise agreement for solid waste was approved with Republic Services of San
Diego. The city receives 7.5% of revenues collected as well as an annual payment of $0.8 million in
support of AB 939 and $1.3 million storm water fee. The increase in fiscal year 2022-23 is driven by
this $0.8 million payment to assist with AB 939.
San Diego Gas & Electric 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, which would not
otherwise be included in the calculations for franchise taxes due to deregulation of the power
industry. This revenue source is expected to remain flat over the next several years.
Business license taxes are closely tied to the health of the local economy, and are projected to
increase to $6.2 million in fiscal year 2022-23. This represents growth of $0.4 million or 7% when
compared to last year’s adopted budget. Increases in business license taxes are in line with projected
sales tax revenue increase as businesses either pay taxes based on the amount of their gross receipts
or based on set fees. There are currently about 9,591 licensed businesses in the City of Carlsbad, 77
more than in the prior year with 6,327 of them located in the city.
Development-related revenues are derived from fees for planning, engineering and building
permits, and fees paid by developers to cover the cost of reviewing and monitoring development
activities, such as plan checks and inspections. These revenues are difficult to predict as many of the
planning and engineering activities occur months or years before any actual development.
Over the last 10 years development-
related revenues have fluctuated in line
with increases and decreases in
residential, commercial and industrial
development. In fiscal year 2022-23 the
city expects a 24% decrease in
development related revenues to
approximately $2.9 million. This follows
higher than anticipated development
activity occurring in fiscal year 2021-22.
The projected decrease in development-
related revenues is tied to the volume
and type of development projected to be
permitted, multi-family versus single-
family, and a drop in the revenues derived from building fees which occur in the early stages of
development.

B-8
Interdepartmental charges are generated through engineering services charged to capital
projects, reimbursed work from other funds and miscellaneous interdepartmental expenses charged
to funds outside the General Fund for services performed by departments within the General Fund.
Miscellaneous interdepartmental charges are expected to increase by 3%.
Income from investments and property include interest earnings as well as rental income
from city-owned land and facilities. The city is expected to earn about $2.8 million in interest on its
General Fund investments for fiscal year 2022-23 and another $2.7 million in rental and lease income.
The yield on the city’s portfolio is forecasted to average 1.5% and cash balances are expected to
remain flat as increases in receipts are projected to be offset by increases in expenditures as the City
Council’s goals are operationalized.
Ambulance fee revenues are estimated to increase $1.2 million over last year’s adopted budget.
This increase is due to the Fire Department’s new ambulance model as approved in the Standards of
Cover which will contribute to the increase over the previous fiscal year.
Transfer taxes are those taxes paid to the county upon the transfer of interests in real estate. The
tax is $1.10 per $1,000 of property value, split equally between the county and the city. Carlsbad
expects to receive approximately $1.6 million in transfer taxes for fiscal year 2022-23 which is a 22%
increase from fiscal year 2021-22 adopted budget and relatively consistent with current year
estimates. The residential real estate market continues remains strong; however, this will likely be
influenced by rising interest rates. Housing prices are continuing to increase in Carlsbad and
inventories remain low.
Other intergovernmental revenues include miscellaneous receipts received from the state or
federal governments as well as local school districts. With the city receiving its two annual American
Rescue Plan Act payments in fiscal 2020-21 and fiscal year 2021-22 totaling $12.6 million,
intergovernmental revenues will decrease substantially in fiscal year 2022-23.
All other revenues include recreation fees, other licenses and fees, fines and forfeitures, transfers
in and other charges and fees. The estimate for fiscal year 2022-23 totals $5 million and is expected
to remain relatively flat over the previous fiscal year.
May 24, 2022 Item #8 Page 21 of 245
B-9
Overall and as reflected in the bar chart above, General Fund revenues are expected to be down $6.2
million or 3% from fiscal year 2021-22 estimates. This is largely due to the final American Rescue Plan
Act payment of $6.3 million received in fiscal year 2021-22 and the recovery from COVID-19 exceeded
original timing expectations. As the city moves out of the pandemic, uncertainty surrounding
inflation, diminishing pent up demand and impacts to the housing market contribute to a
conservative outlook that will be monitored into the future.
In the late 1990s the city experienced revenue growth between 9% and 17% due to the opening of
new hotels, restaurants, retail centers and new home development. Those levels of planned growth
were not sustainable. As new development slows, it will be increasingly more difficult to produce
double-digit growth in revenues. In fact, revenue growth has now slowed to 4% over the last ten
years. A recovering economy is certainly driving General Fund revenues higher, but this growth
comes from a lower revenue base due to the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. The city’s revenues,
excluding COVID-19 related subsidies, are not projected to fully recover to pre-COVID-19 levels until
fiscal year 2022-23 and then revenue growth is forecasted to stabilize at between 2-4% in the
following years.
Other Funds
Revenues from Special Revenue funds are expected to total $17.9 million, an increase of $4.0
million or 29% from the fiscal year 2021-22 adopted budget. Funds collected in this category are
restricted to specified purposes. The types of programs supported within Special Revenue funds are
those funded by specific revenue streams such as:
• Federal Grants (Rental Assistance and Community Development Block Grants)
• Special fees and assessments (Affordable Housing and Maintenance Assessment Districts)
• Donations (Library, Cultural Arts, Recreation and Senior Donations)

Compared to the fiscal year 2021-22 adopted budget, the most noteworthy changes in the Special
Revenue funds occurred in the Rental Assistance Fund where increases of $3.9 million are expected
to occur. These revenues are federally funded and tend to fluctuate from year-to year.
The Successor Agency Housing Trust Fund revenues are budgeted at $0.5 million which
represents a 52% decrease over fiscal year 2021-22 estimates. Although the Carlsbad 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 the city’s former redevelopment
areas by the General Fund as well as debt service payments remaining on the former agency’s 1993
Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds. All outstanding loans and interest accrued have been paid to the city
by the end of fiscal year 2020-21 and only debt service payments remain. Payments are distributed
annually from available property tax revenues allocated by the state to the successor agency.
Enterprise fund revenues for fiscal year 2022-23 are projected at $89.6 million representing an
increase of 5.6% or $4.7 million over the current year estimates. The revenue breakdown by activity is
shown in the graph below.
Enterprise funds are similar to a business in that rates are charged to support the operations that
supply the good and/or service. Carlsbad enterprise funds include water and recycled water delivery,
wastewater services, solid waste management and the operation of a municipal golf course. The fiscal
year 2022-23 operating budget reflects additions for an updated sewer master plan as well as
significant increases for Water Authority rate increases for purchases water.

The Water Enterprise Fund revenue for fiscal year 2022-23 is estimated at $47.0 million
representing a decrease of $0.7 million or 1.5% when compared to current year revenue estimates.
This decrease is driven by one-time SDCWA refunds received in fiscal year 2021-22 that are not
expected in fiscal year 2022-23. Projected revenues for Recycled Water of $8.7 million are
expected to increase by $0.2 million or 2% as minor customer growth is expected and a 1% increase
in rates is forecasted.
Forecasted revenues for Wastewater are $19.3 million representing a 24% or $3.8 million increase
over the current year estimate. This increased estimate is largely driven by 20% rate increases of 20%
in both 2022 and 2023 to support rising treatment costs and aging infrastructure costs.
Estimated revenues from operations of the Golf Course of $9.6 million are expected to increase
slightly by $0.6 million or 7% when compared to current year estimates. $7.5 million was
conservatively budgeted in fiscal year 2021-22; however, outdoor activities such as golf experienced
tremendous growth throughout the pandemic.

Solid Waste Management revenues are projected to
increase by 22% to $5.0 million when compared to current
year estimates. This increase is mainly driven by a storm
water reimbursement from the city’s new waste hauler
contract.
Internal Service funds project estimated revenues of
$33.1 million for fiscal year 2022-23 representing an 8.4%
or $2.6 million increase over fiscal year 2021-22
projections.
Internal Service funds account for services provided within
the city itself, from one department to another and 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 and 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.
A recent actuarial review of the Workers’ Compensation fund determined that the city should
continue to set aside cash reserves in anticipation of future Workers’ Compensation claims. To
achieve this, charges to city departments need to increase by 10-15% annually over the next several
years. These planned increases went into effect in fiscal year 2021-22 and are continuing into fiscal
year 2022-23. The fiscal year 2022-23 operating budget includes $5.3 million for Workers’
Compensation and $4.0 million for Risk Management. This represents a $0.4 million and $0.6 million
increase over the previous fiscal year estimates, respectively.
Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement charges are budgeted at $3.3 million and $4.0 million,
respectively. Vehicle replacement costs rise when the number of vehicles and the price of new
vehicles or the cost to maintain those vehicles increases. For example, many older generation sedans
at the end of their useful life are now being replaced with hybrid and plug-in hybrids at a higher per
unit cost. There have also been significant cost increases over the last several years in specialized
vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances. The total number of vehicles that the Replacement
charge is collecting on has increased for two additional reasons: the city added vehicles to its fleet,
largely in the Fire and Police departments; and vehicles previously deferred for replacement were
replaced thereby restarting the collection cycle.
Information Technology (IT) charges to departments have increased by 11.0% or $1.6 million
when compared to fiscal year 2021-22 estimates. The main reason for this increase is due to a
reorganization of personnel within the city. Employees within the Business Systems Associate series
(9.49 total FTE) were transferred from various departments citywide to the Information Technology
department. Consequently, the Information Technology budget and corresponding charges have
increased to account for these new personnel costs.

OPERATING BUDGET EXPENDITURE SUMMARY
The city’s Operating Budget for fiscal year 2022-23 totals $342.23 million, which represents an
increase of about $25.1 million or 7.9% as compared to the adopted fiscal year 2021-22 budget. A
summary of the changes in each of the city’s programs will be discussed below. Further information
about each program can be found in the individual program summary pages.
The General Fund contains most of the discretionary revenues that support basic core city services.
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 budgeted expenditures by fund and program.
The total Operating Budget for the General Fund for fiscal year 2022-23 is $198.3 million which is
$13.7 million or 7.4% more than the previous year’s Adopted Budget of $184.6 million. These changes
are discussed in more detail on the following pages.

Personnel costs make up approximately 62.5% of the General Fund budget. The total personnel
budget for fiscal year 2022-23 is $124 million which is $7.8 million or 6.7% greater than the previous
year’s total personnel budget of $116.2 million. In fiscal year 2022-23, the preliminary budget
proposes including a line item for “vacancy savings.” This represents the estimated amount of
budgeted personnel savings will be realized by the end of the fiscal year. This mechanism is being
proposed for multiple reasons. (1) budgeting for vacancy savings reduces the total amount of the
General Fund budget, (2) budgeted personnel costs more closely align with actual personnel costs
over the course of the fiscal year, (3) historically, the city would bring recommendations to repurpose
budget savings at the mid-year point of the fiscal year; this mechanism pre-emptively achieves that
objective, and (4) budgeting vacancy savings will achieve alignment with the city’s 10-year forecast
which has historically included a line item for vacancy savings.
The table above shows the breakdown of personnel costs for the General Fund. General Fund salaries
include full and part-time staff costs and are expected to increase in fiscal year 2022-23 by $3.5
million or 4.5%. The increase is primarily due to 24.0 new full-time positions and 2.22 full-time
equivalent part-time positions proposed for the next fiscal year.
The full-time additions include:
• General Fund
o Twelve Emergency Medical Technicians (Fire)
o Strategic Plan Analyst (Innovation & Economic Development), with part-time reduction
o Four Senior Lifeguards (Parks & Recreation), with part-time reduction
o Parks Planner – 5 year limited term (Parks & Recreation)
o Management Analyst (Police)
o Senior Engineer – 5 year limited term (Fleet & Facilities)

The part-time additions include:

• Building Maintenance Worker (Fleet & Facilities)
• An Administrative Secretary FTE increase (Administrative Services Administration)
In addition, costs have increased due to contracted and anticipated wage and benefit increases for
budgeted positions in fiscal year 2022-23.
Retirement Benefits Cost
CalPERS administers the city’s defined benefit pension
plan and costs have been increasing in past years as
CalPERS addresses a structural shortfall in plan assets to
cover unfunded liabilities. As part of CalPERS’ strategy to
ensure the plan’s sustainability, CalPERS deliberately
raised participating agencies’ contributions over several
years to improve the plan’s long-term funded status. The
pension system continues to pursue tactics in support of
its strategy to ensure plan sustainability such as investing in assets with the objective of achieving a
long-term rate of return that meets or exceeds 7%. While pension costs are increasing, there is some
downward pressure on costs as new employees receive lower pension benefits. CalPERS has taken
significant steps to ensuring plan sustainability, but still poses a significant risk on the city’s cost profile.
In support of CalPERS strategies for plan sustainability and as part of the city’s strategic, long-term
approach to financial management, the city actively manages its unfunded pension liability. Since
fiscal year 2016-17, the City Council has approved additional discretionary contributions of $56.4
million to decrease future costs of the city’s unfunded actuarial liability and strive to achieve a funded
status of 80% in accordance with City Council Policy Statement No. 86. This active management helps
ensure that resources are available to fulfill the city’s contractual promises to its employees and
minimizes the chance that funding these pension benefits will interfere with the city’s ability to
provide essential public services.
General Fund Health Insurance costs in the General Fund are increasing by $0.3 million or 3.3%
over the prior year. This increase is largely due to estimating maximum health insurance coverage
and associated costs for new and current employees. Other Personnel Costs include workers’
compensation expenses and other miscellaneous costs such as Medicare, unemployment and
disability which are increasing collectively by $0.8 million or 12.2%.
Maintenance and Operations costs represent about 29.9% of the total General Fund budget and
include the budgets for all program expenses other than personnel, capital outlay and transfers.
Overall, total maintenance and operations costs are projected at $59.2 million which represents a
decrease of about $1.1 million or 1.8% for fiscal year 2022-23 when compared to fiscal year 2021-22.
To ensure the city maintains a balanced budget and continuously analyzes its use of taxpayer dollars,
departments were asked to reduce their existing budget for fiscal year 2022-23 and decrease
discretionary spending wherever possible. Even with the approval of additional budget items, General
funded departments were able to reduce their maintenance and operations budget requests by 1.8%
overall. This was accomplished despite the increase in costs for certain mandatory fees and
unavoidable costs such as SDG&E rate increases and other rising contracted services costs.
In support of CalPERS strategies for
plan sustainability, and as part of the
city’s strategic, long-term approach to
financial management, the city
actively manages its unfunded
pension liability.

Capital Outlay includes budgeted equipment purchases over $1,000. Capital outlay purchases of
$1.5 million are budgeted in the General Fund for fiscal year 2022-23. The majority is associated with
the purchase of a fire engine in the Fire Department and is related to the City Council goal to bring
the Fire Department into conformance with Standards of Cover evaluation.
Operating Costs Associated with Capital Investments
As the city completes major capital projects, the costs of maintaining and operating the facilities and
improvements, including additional personnel if necessary, are added to departmental operating
budgets.
Advances
Advances and repayments of prior 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.
Expenditures in the General Fund remained flat until fiscal year 2015-16 budget reflected an 8.2%
increase in expenditures due primarily to increased personnel costs, and the fiscal year 2016-17
expenditures included $25.3 million in one-time costs, including $10.5 million for a transfer to the
Capital Improvement Program for Fire Station 2 replacement, and $14.8 million to pay of the golf
course construction bonds.
The expenditures for fiscal year 2017-18 reflect a substantial decrease due to the one-time costs
reflected in fiscal year 2016-17 for the defeasance of the golf course bonds of $14.8 million and the
transfer of $10.5 million to the General Capital Construction Fund for the reconstruction of Fire
Station 2. These cost reductions were partially offset by an additional one-time payment to CalPERS
to address the city’s unfunded pension liability, the addition of nine staff members, additional legal
and expert costs associated with the county airport expansion and the Safety Training Center lawsuit,
higher personnel costs due to normal salary and benefit increases, higher mutual aid costs, and the
filling of prior year vacancies.

Expenditures in fiscal year 2018-19 reflect an additional one-time $20 million payment to CalPERS to
further bring down the city’s unfunded pension liability. Fiscal year 2019-20 included the addition of
34 new full-time employees, but was largely offset due to the city’s response to the COVID-19
pandemic and the need to reduce discretionary spending as much as possible during the
unprecedented time.
Fiscal year 2020-21 expenditures reflect an additional one-time $10 million payment to CalPERS to
further bring down the city’s unfunded pension liability. The increase was largely offset by the
continuation COVID-19 pandemic and the city’s efforts to curb and defer expenditures.
Fiscal year 2021-22 expenditures reflect the plan to reinstate city services back to pre-pandemic
levels and operationalize the City Council’s goals. The increase includes $5.9 million in one-time costs
associated with the goals, and the addition of 18 new full-time and 6.7 part-time employees which
are mostly associated with the goals. The city also made an additional one-time $6.4 million payment
to CalPERS to bring down the city’s unfunded pension liability.
Program Expenditures Another way of looking at
the General Fund budget is by program. The chart
below compares the total fiscal year 2022-23 budget to
those amounts adopted in the previous year. A detailed
description of each department, its services, budget
summary and department accomplishments and
priorities can be found in the department program
summary pages.

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:
$11.9 million split evenly between the Infrastructure Replacement Fund, General Capital
Construction Fund and the Technology Investment Capital Fund ($3.96 million each). This
will fund major new construction, maintenance and/or replacement of city infrastructure
and facilities and the city’s future technology needs. This represents 6% of budgeted General
Fund revenues and is in line with the requirements set forth in Council Policy No. 91 – Long
Term General Fund Capital Funding Policy.
$332,000 to the Storm Water Program for reimbursement for the General Fund portion of
Storm Water expenses.
$1.4 million 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. Annual assessments can only be increased with a
majority vote of the property owners.
General Fund Summary
The Operating Budget for fiscal year 2022-23 provides a balanced General Fund budget for the
coming fiscal year with General Fund revenue estimates exceeding General Fund budgeted
expenditures by $0.5 million. This projected surplus will be added to city reserves to be used in
accordance with the city’s adopted reserve policy.

Equals: projected unassigned balance at June 30, 2023 $116.2 million
Changes in Other Funds
Special Revenue funds, budgeted at $17.3 million show an
increase in expenditures of 12.3% or $1.9 million when
compared to fiscal year 2021-22. Spending in most programs
is expected to remain at similar or slightly higher levels
over the prior year.
Expenditure increases of $2.5 million or 31.8% are
planned in the Rental Assistance Fund largely because of
program expansion and corresponding increase in rental
assistance payments. This reflects additional revenue
received from federally funded programs to assist more
lower-income households in Carlsbad.
Enterprise funds total $92.9 million which represents an increase of
$6.5 million or 7.5% over the fiscal year 2021-22 adopted budget. The
Potable Water and Recycled Water funds continue to operate and maintain
critical infrastructure systems and provides the safe delivery of drinking water,
conservation outreach and treated irrigation water. The Wastewater fund provides reliable
wastewater collection services.
The Internal Service funds total $32.6 million and represents an overall increase of $3.0 million or
10.1% over fiscal year 2021-22. Much of the increase in Workers’ Compensation and Risk Management
costs is attributable to rising insurance liability rates, claims filed and administrative costs. Vehicle
Maintenance and Replacement and Information Technology expenditure increases correspond with
the city’s efforts to continue to modernize, upgrade and invest in needed equipment, systems and
applications. More detail regarding the increase in Information Technology due to the reorganization
of personnel can be found in the internal service fund piece of the revenue summary section earlier in
this document.
The budget for the Successor Agency Housing Trust Fund for fiscal year 2022-23 is approximately
the same as the prior year’s adopted budget of $1.1 million. The Recognized Obligation Payments
Schedule (ROPS) identifies financial commitments of the former Redevelopment Agency, including the
remaining scheduled debt service payments on the Redevelopment Agency bond issue, the outstanding
loan from the city’s General Fund and minor allowable administrative costs. The last debt service
payment on the bond issue is scheduled for September 2023 and the city loan will be paid off by the
end of fiscal year 2021-22. These obligations are to be paid from semi-annual property tax increment
revenue received by the Successor Agency.

Vehicle Replacement Fund ABOUT
The city’s fleet consists of 456 vehicles and equipment necessary to complete the city’s mission of
delivering quality and efficient services. The fleet maintenance & replacement programs enable
departments to achieve their operational mission in a safe, efficient manner.
The fleet maintenance program funds labor, parts, services, fuel and oil necessary to maintain the
city’s fleet of vehicles and equipment. The fleet maintenance program is funded through charges
based on vehicle type and utilization.
The fleet vehicle replacement program is funded through a replacement charge for each vehicle or
equipment in service, determined by actual costs of vehicle procurement divided by the expected life
of the vehicle. This program funds asset replacement and vehicle outfitting. Cost-effective vehicle
procurement is achieved through cooperative purchasing agreements and bidding processes.
Revenue is collected from the sale of retired city fleet assets at auction.

UTILITIES: RECYCLED WATER OPERATIONS
Account: 5026310 Fund: Enterprise
ABOUT
The Carlsbad Municipal Water District provides ongoing water treatment and maintenance and repair
of the recycled water system’s three storage tanks, four pump stations, three pressure reducing
stations, five pressure zones, 95 miles of pipelines, 815 valves and 961 meters. CMWD’s Cross-
Connection Control and Backflow program ensures a safe supply of drinking water by preventing
cross-contamination from the recycled system into the potable system, in accordance with federal
and state regulations. CMWD also purchases and delivers recycled water from the Vallecitos Water
District’s Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility.
CMWD owns the Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility which is located next to the Encina Wastewater
Authority treatment plant. CMWD takes treated wastewater from that plant and further treats it to
State of California Title 22 recycled water quality standards and then delivers this water to customers
for irrigation and certain industrial uses. This effort reduces the amount of wastewater that would
normally be released by the wastewater treatment plant into the ocean outfall, reduces dependence
on imported drinking water, and provides customers with a reliable local supply of water for non-
potable purposes. Recycled water is not subject to state water conservation requirements.

• Conduct inspections of alleged violations received from resident and business complaints
• Assist individuals on how to secure required permits and/or obtain compliance with
applicable codes

Fund: Special Revenue – Affordable Housing Trust
Special Revenue – Tyler Court Apartments
ABOUT
The city is a regional leader in the provision of affordable housing. The Affordable Housing Trust Fund
Program is the city’s primary source of affordable housing funding for low-income households. The
Affordable Housing Trust Fund collects fees generated from the Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee and
the sale of affordable housing credits that satisfy a developer’s inclusionary housing obligation as well
as loan repayments from existing developments. With these funds, the city provides affordable
housing programs and low income and homeless services support, and financial assistance for
residential developments that provide housing opportunities to low-income households. The city also
owns Tyler Court Senior Apartments, a 75-unit senior apartment complex. This complex provides for
100% affordable housing to senior households with incomes at 30% and 50% of the San Diego County
Area median incomes. The city has an agreement with a third party to manage the day-to-day
operations of the apartment complex. The property is intended to remain a senior-only development
according to its approved conditional use permit and continues to have income and rent restrictions
to be affordable to very low and extremely low-income households.

personnel vacancy savings, citywide final vacation pay, and citywide dues and subscriptions.
COVID-19 related expenditures in fiscal years 2019-20,2020-21, and 2021-22 are associated with the
COVID-19 Economic Recovery and Revitalization Initiative and COVID-19 specific expenditures that
the city believes are recoverable through various reimbursements.
Vacancy savings, or anticipated personnel savings over the course of the fiscal year, are being added
to the budget in fiscal year 2022-23. Accounting for $2 million in vacancy savings will allow for
budgeted personnel costs to more closely align with actual personnel costs in the General Fund.
