Executive Summary
The presentation of the preliminary Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget is an opportunity for
the City Council/Board/Commission and the community to review and provide feedback on the
proposed work plan and budget for the coming fiscal year.
The proposed budget prioritizes the goals in the City Council’s 5-Year Strategic Plan, which was,
based on input from thousands of community members and approved in 2022. By committing
to this plan, rather than goals that are subject to change from year to year, the City Council has
enabled staff to work more efficiently while improving the alignment between the annual city
budget and the Carlsbad community’s vision for the future.
Each year, during the preparation of the annual budget, staff develop work plans that build
upon progress in the strategic plan’s key areas of focus:
Maintain Carlsbad’s unique community character and connectedness
Prioritize the safety and well-being of the community
Protect the environment and natural resources
Foster a healthy local economy
Be a model for effective and efficient local government
The proposed budget eliminates the projected deficit from the five-year financial forecast that
had been forecasted since 2019. A structural deficit describes a situation when projected
ongoing spending is greater than anticipated ongoing revenue. The city’s five-year financial
forecast now shows a balanced budget through 2030.
Healthy revenues, increased efficiencies, cost reductions, and new budget policies and practices
over the past several years have worked together to close the gap. However, economic
uncertainty remains as the city transitions from focusing on building and development to
maintaining what was been created. As such, the proposed budget for fiscal year 2024-25
continues to focus on finding new cost savings and reducing ongoing spending while continuing
to grow city reserves, prioritizing capital project funding and maintaining high quality service
levels.
On the economic front, Carlsbad’s transition from a growing city to one focused on maintaining
an excellent quality of life continues to bring new fiscal challenges. As is the case with many
cities at this stage, projecting a future deficit is not uncommon, and while the city has pushed
the projected deficit beyond the five-year outlook, this year’s budget also includes eliminating
12.05 full-time equivalent positions. These positions were evaluated to ensure that eliminating
them would have minimal service level impact on the community. The proposed budget reflects
three consecutive fiscal years of budget reductions totaling more than $5 million in ongoing
savings.

Explanation & Analysis
Policy goals
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.
On Oct. 11, 2022, the City Council adopted the city’s five-year strategic plan with policy goals to
reflect the most important priorities of the community. These goals are one way the city
delivers on the Carlsbad Community Vision, a set of nine core values community members
identified as important to Carlsbad’s future. The annual city budget contains the work plans and
resource allocations to achieve the goals in the strategic plan.
Based on community input, the City Council identified five areas of focus for its five-year
strategic plan:
1. Community Character: Maintain
Carlsbad’s unique community
character
2. Economic Vitality: Foster a healthy
economy
3. Quality of Life and Safety: Prioritize
the safety and well-being of the
community
4. Sustainability & Natural
Environment: Protect the
environment and natural resources
5. Organizational Excellence & Fiscal
Health: Be a model for effective and
efficient local government
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 3 of 345
Maintaining fiscal health
The city increased its focus on community priorities by identifying efficiencies and reducing
spending in areas with the least impact on the community. A series of budget process reforms
and policies begun in 2018 have increased transparency in how the city manages its budget and
tightened controls over spending. These have included:
•Eliminating an automatic annual increase to department budgets based on inflation.
Instead, requested budget increases are considered based on actual increased costs and
approved only after departments have exhausted alternatives for covering increased
costs of doing business.
•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. Requests to carry funds over into
the next fiscal year must be approved by the City Manager or City Council, depending on
the amount.
•Changing practices around hiring part-time, temporary staff to ensure full transparency
of the actual number of full-time equivalent positions working for the city at any given
time.
•Updating the General Fund Reserve Policy to ensure the city has enough money to
continue services in an emergency.
•Establishing an economic uncertainty reserve.
•Creating a new cost recovery policy.
•Developing a policy for reinvesting surplus funds.
•Creating a process to ensure ongoing funding for digital infrastructure, which has
become as important as physical infrastructure.
•Engaging a grant writer to ensure the city is taking advantage of state and federal
funding opportunities.
•Creating a new internal auditor program to safeguard city resources and improve city
operations.
Supplemental Requests
Supplement budget requests were submitted by departments for budget team and City
Manager consideration. The budget requests were mainly driven by inflation, expanded
programming, costs associated with grant and revenue opportunities, and asset replacement.
Within the General Fund, a total of $3.3 million ($2.1 million ongoing) is being requested for the
City Council to consider. Exhibit 7 details each of the city’s supplemental budget requests for
fiscal year 2024-25.
General Fund Reserve
The City Council has a policy of maintaining a reserve with a target balance equivalent to 40% of
the General Fund’s Operating Budget. These are the cash balances made available from the
prudent fiscal policy of developing an annual balanced budget and, at times, having unexpected
revenues or expenditures below what was budgeted. One of the purposes of this reserve is to
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 4 of 345
protect against cyclical swings in the economy. The city is projected to end the upcoming fiscal
year with a reserve balance of 63% of the General Fund Operating Budget.
The recommended preliminary General Fund Operating Budget totals $238.5 million, with
estimated revenues of $239.1 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 the Police and Fire departments, 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 (Exhibit 6).
The operating budget overview also contains:
•A detailed look at expenditures by type
•General Fund transfers to other funds
•Information about the City Council contingency fund

General Fund Asset Replacement Reserve
The city commits to maintaining its large machinery and equipment inventory. When an asset is
procured, it begins depreciating the moment it is put into service and needs to be replaced at
the end of its respective useful life. The city’s large equipment inventory represents
approximately $60 million of the city’s total fixed assets. On an annual basis, this translates to a
significant financial need and commitment. In an effort to not only prioritize these purchases,
but to strategically plan for the ongoing financial impacts, staff recommend establishing a
General Fund Asset Replacement Reserve. Separate and apart from the General Fund Reserve
Guidelines (City Council Policy No. 74), this Asset Replacement Reserve would serve as a
mechanism for funding large equipment needs without impacting the General Fund Reserve or
annual budget surplus year after year. As of fiscal year 2024-25, and for the next 10 fiscal years,
a total of $17.5 million is projected to be needed to fund asset replacement costs in the General
Fund (Exhibit 9).
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 5 of 345
Personnel
The proposed budget for next fiscal year includes 796.75 permanent full- and three-quarter-
time employees, a decrease of 11 compared to the final budget amount for fiscal year 2023-24.
Additionally, there is a proposed decrease of part-time employees equivalent to 1.05 full-time
employees, for a net personnel decrease of 12.05 full-time-equivalent employees.
In response to City Council feedback directing staff to identify ways to contain ongoing
operational costs within the organization, staff conducted a review of staffing levels, workload
and existing vacancies in an effort to find new opportunities for savings. Additional information
can be found in the memorandum issued to the City Council on January 18, 2024 (Exhibit 10).
The following positions are proposed to be eliminated in fiscal year 2024-25:
Funded from General Fund
(1) Management Analyst – Office of the City Manager (Vacant)
(1) Senior Office Specialist – Office of the City Council (Vacant)
(1) Deputy City Clerk – City Clerk (Vacant)
(1) Lead Librarian – Library & Cultural Arts (Vacant)
(0.7) Production Technician – Library & Cultural Arts (Vacant)
(1) Parks Maintenance Worker – Parks & Recreation (Vacant)
(1) Associate Engineer – Community Development (Vacant)
(1) Chief Innovation Officer – Innovation & Economic Development
(1) Senior Program Manager for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – Human Resources
(0.5) Administrative Assistant – Administrative Services (Part-time)
(0.5) Hourly Professional – Communication & Engagement (Part-time)
Not funded from General Fund
(1) System Specialist – Information Technology (Vacant)
(1) Senior Environmental Specialist – Environmental Sustainability (Vacant)
(0.3) Production Technician – Library & Cultural Arts (Vacant)
Enterprise funds
Lastly, enterprise fund revenues, including those from water, wastewater services and solid
waste management and The Crossings at Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course, the city’s golf course,
are projected at $101.9 million, a $7.5 million or 8.0% increase over projected fiscal year 2023-
24 revenues. Enterprise funds are those that are supported by the fees collected for the service
rather than the General Fund and must be accounted for separately under state law.
The budgeted expenditures from these funds are proposed at $118.5 million for fiscal year
2024-25, which is an increase of $12.7 million or 12.1% over the fiscal year 2023-24 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.
Capital Improvement Program
Carlsbad takes a long-range planning approach to building high-quality facilities and
infrastructure that support the needs and priorities of the community. Projects in its Capital
Improvement Program are generally defined as any construction, rehabilitation or replacement
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 6 of 345
of major infrastructure such as streets, libraries, parks, fire stations and administrative facilities,
water, sewer and drainage facilities, and other facilities that are located on or in the ground.
Because of the city’s financial planning, city staff are able to modernize, repair and replace
infrastructure as needed and in accord with best governmental practices. City staff prioritize
projects in the Capital Improvement Program using several factors, including potential risks to
health, safety and the environment, regulatory or mandated requirements, community values,
the condition of the asset, annual recurring costs and asset longevity, scheduling and cost
efficiencies, project readiness and funding availability. Staff also consider community input,
consistency with studies and reports, staff availability, alignment with operating budget and
level of service standards or expectations.
This year, changes were made to the administration of the Capital Improvement Program that
will provide the City Council with a greater ability to direct the pace and funding of the city’s
major Capital Improvement Program projects while increasing transparency around projects
that are planned and underway:
•Rather than having the city budget for the entire cost of a project well in advance of
when the project is scheduled to begin, funding will be appropriated phase by phase for
scoping out the project, developing a conceptual design and the final design.
•Once a project is ready for the City Council to consider appropriating money for project
construction, staff will be able to provide an up-to-date cost estimate based on the
actual project design and timing.
•The Capital Improvement Program budget has historically spanned a 15-year timeframe.
Going forward, the budget will focus on projects planned in the next five years, with
more detailed information on those projects. It will also provide a 15-year forecast of
how much money will be available for future projects.
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program outlines $15.6 million in new
appropriations to provide additional funding for continuing existing projects, as well as funding
for new projects.

May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 7 of 345
There are 52 projects identified as priority projects in the city’s 5 Year Strategic Plan,
representing an investment of more than $110 million over the next five years. The five-year
Capital Improvement Program includes 13 proposed new projects, with a total funding request
in fiscal 2024-25 of $10.8 million, including projects receiving state and federal grant support
for traffic safety-related projects. Details on these proposed new projects begin on page I-6 of
Exhibit 6.
As the current project conditions and scope of each project are continually re-evaluated, some
projects are removed from the list. This streamlining process allows for unspent balances to be
returned to the original funding sources so that they can be reallocated to other projects. Eight
projects are proposed to be removed from the Capital Improvement Program in fiscal year
2024-25 because of changed conditions that caused the projects to no longer be warranted.
Several projects will be consolidated to improve efficiencies, coordination and cost savings. For
example, projects to improve lighting, medians and roadway configuration along Carlsbad
Boulevard will be incorporated into the existing pavement management program along with
the Beach Access Repairs Project. Funding for the future planned replacement of Cole Library
will be combined with the City Hall Complex project. Funding previously allocated to the Trail
Connectivity to Tamarack State Beach Project will be incorporated into the ADA Beach Access
Pine to Tamarack project.
The Capital Improvement Program includes estimated budget information for a 15-year period
to provide the most comprehensive information about known future projects. A complete list
of projects and estimated funding included in the five-year program begins on page I-17 of
Exhibit 6. All future construction costs are estimates, which are reviewed and refined each year
and shown in the 15-year funding forecast beginning on page I-27 of
Exhibit 6.
The Capital Improvement Program is funded from capital funds such as the General Capital
Construction and Infrastructure Replacement Fund as well as developer fees, special district
fees and taxes from the community facilities districts and bridge and thoroughfare benefit
districts, water and wastewater replacement funds, and other sources such as grants, sales
taxes and contributions from other agencies. Estimated capital fund revenues for fiscal 2024-25
are $93 million. Projected capital fund balances, revenue and expenditure summaries are
provided beginning on page I-12 of Exhibit 6.
Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program
City staff introduced Connected Carlsbad: An Inclusive City Innovation Roadmap to the City
Council in 2019 to provide a high-level, organized guide to the principles that matter to the city
in creating a more connected community. The Strategic Digital Transformation Investment
Program was put in place last year to expand Connected Carlsbad by defining a strategy for
evaluating and prioritizing projects and a five-year investment roadmap that includes estimated
costs and timelines. This new investment program is organized into the five primary Connected
Carlsbad goal areas, which were approved by the City Council on Jan. 14, 2020 (Resolution No.
2020-005).
The digital transformation program includes budget estimates for projects planned over the
next five years so the City Council and the community can be more fully aware of long-term
plans and funding needs. Even though budget estimates are included in the five-year plan, staff
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 8 of 345
may only spend money on the projects included in each year’s adopted city budget. More
information about the city’s strategy to invest in digital transformation and how the city
evaluates these projects can be found on page H-2 of the digital investment program document
in Exhibit 6.
The fiscal year 2024-25 digital program outlines 41 continuing and new projects planned over
the next five years at an estimated total cost of $36.7 million. Included in the $36.7 million is
about $19.8 million in estimated new costs over the course of the same time frame to provide
additional funding for the continuation of existing projects as well as funding for new projects.
The $19.8 million also contains $6.2 million of estimated new appropriations for fiscal year
2024-25 for these same projects. The tables below present estimated total project costs by
primary goal area in Connected Carlsbad for the five fiscal years of 2025-29 (five years) and
fiscal year 2024-25:

The details of the five-year and one-year appropriations requests can be found on pages H-27
and H-28 in Exhibit 6.
Each project identified in the digital transformation program is important to the overall
technology health of the city by providing for increased efficiencies, security, transparency
and/or informational knowledge.
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 9 of 345
There are three funding sources for the $6.2 million in appropriations that staff are requesting
for the digital transformation program for fiscal year 2024-25:
•Technology Investment Capital Fund
•Information Technology Replacement Fund
•Utilities enterprise funds
Each funding source identified has the necessary fund balance to accommodate the new
appropriations without additional revenues or transfers. The details for the funding sources can
be found in Exhibit 6 on page H-29.
General fees, charges for services, development impact fees and Cost Recovery Policy update
Staff evaluate and propose changes to the city’s fees for services every year. Staff conduct
these annual reviews to ensure that the fees being charged do not exceed the direct and
indirect costs of providing the related services. A comprehensive cost of service study is
prepared every five to seven 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 conducted in 2019 and approved by the City Council on June 8, 2021. At that
time, the City Council also directed staff to propose a cost recovery policy to establish a process
for adjusting existing fees to industry standard cost recovery ranges and for recommending fee
changes in the future. Based on this direction from City Council, staff presented and the City
Council approved a cost recovery policy on March 14, 2023, as City Council Policy No. 95.
Since the implementation of this policy, the Utilities Department has determined that certain
fees that are more appropriate for full cost recovery merit being removed from the policy. An
update to the existing City Council policy is necessary to incorporate these changes as well as to
clarify certain limits state law places on water reconnection fees charged to income-qualifying
customers.1
The proposed revisions are as follows:
Fees subject to
the cost
recovery policy
To clarify which fees charged by the Utilities Department lend themselves
to full cost recovery and which do not, staff are proposing to eliminate
utility meter installation fees and certain utility service fees from the Cost
Recovery Policy. These fees affect individual residential customers and are
more appropriate to keep below the level of full cost recovery out of
concern for the potential impact on lower-income customers.
Utility
administrative
fees
This proposed update clarifies that the fees charged by the Utilities
Department that will remain subject to the Cost Recovery Policy fall in the
mid-level cost recovery range. This range provides for a balance of the
individual and public benefits that these services provide.
1 Senate Bill 998, the Water Shutoff Protection Act, which went into effect in 2020, gives low-income water
account customers more time to pay their bill and qualify for a lower reconnection fee.
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 10 of 345
State’s limits on
reconnection
fees
The updated policy clarifies that state law limits the amount that qualifying
low-income residential water customers must pay for service
reconnections after shutoff to $50 during normal business hours and $150
after normal business hours, subject to annual inflationary adjustments for
changes in the Consumer Price Index. The Carlsbad Municipal Water
District’s Residential Water Service Shutoff Protection Policy for
Nonpayment of Charges previously included these limits, but staff propose
to also include them in the Cost Recovery Policy to clarify that these fees
are limited by state law for income-qualifying customers. This distinction is
also now clarified in the proposed Master Fee Schedule provided as
Exhibit 8.
These proposed changes will better serve the needs of the Utilities Department and clarify
important protections for the department’s residential customers. Staff will include a resolution
to update the policy with these changes for City Council consideration with final budget
adoption in June 2024.
The proposed fees for fiscal year 2024-25, further discussed below, conform with the proposed
updated Cost Recovery Policy and are presented in the proposed Master Fee Schedule in
Exhibit 8.
•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, both of which reflect the cost of
inflation. The West Urban CPI has increased by 3.3% since last year while the San
Diego CPI has increased by 3.8%.
•Development-related service fees are charged to recover the cost of staff time
and materials spent on development-related activities. Development impact fees
are used to pay for infrastructure projects that are needed as a result of new
development. These change annually by the change in the West Urban CPI.
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 is greater. This year the Caltrans
Construction Cost Index decreased by 16.03%, so traffic impact fees are
increasing by 2%.
•Ambulance fees have typically been adjusted annually by the Ambulance
Inflation Factor, published by the federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services. Last year, the Fire Department conducted and the City Council
approved updated ambulance fees that simplified the city’s ambulance fee
structure and adjusted fees to more accurately reflect the city’s costs.
Accordingly, fees were not adjusted by the Ambulance Inflation Factor but
instead set at the new levels approved in the fee study. This year, the proposed
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 11 of 345
Master Fee Schedule again adjusts ambulance fees by the Ambulance Inflation
Factor, which is now 2.6%. In future years, the city will continue adjusting its
ambulance fees according to the Ambulance Inflation Factor, with more detailed
evaluations occurring every three to five years.
Fee categories and changes by fiscal year
1 Habitat mitigation fees are adjusted annually at half of the rate of the San Diego Area Consumer Price Index.
2.Increase is by the greater of Caltrans CCI or 2%. The Caltrans CCI is -16.03%.3.Ambulance fees were not adjusted by this amount in FY 2023-24 due to the implementation of the updated
ambulance fee study.
In addition to regular annual inflationary increases, staff are proposing adjustments to several
utilities fees in accordance with the proposed updated cost recovery policy:
•Discontinuation of service – non-payment (shut-off): increasing from the low range to
the mid range
•Service reconnection (non-payment) – Same day/non-business hours (after hours turn-
on): increasing from the low range to the mid range
•Electronic notice (in lieu of door hanger): decreasing from the high range to the mid
range
•Door hanger notice: Increasing from the low range to the mid range
•New account service connection – Same day/business hours (same day turn-on):
decreasing from the high range to the mid range
•Potable and recycled water meters – Construction meter deposits, installations and
relocations: increasing from the mid range to full cost recovery

For other city fees, staff are recommending that no further cost recovery adjustments be made
this fiscal year.
As detailed above, the city last conducted a comprehensive cost of service study in 2019, which
was then adopted in 2021. The cost recovery policy recommends conducting a comprehensive
study every five to seven years. Given the significant changes in costs and business processes
since 2019, staff plan to conduct an updated comprehensive cost of service study during fiscal
year 2024-25. This will allow staff to propose updated fee levels next fiscal year that take into
account updated efficiencies achieved due to technology as well as any increased costs. Fees
will then be set at their appropriate cost recovery levels consistent with the proposed updated
Cost Recovery Policy. Completing this update during fiscal year 2024-25 will bring the city in line
with industry standard cost recovery ranges within the three-year timeframe outlined in the
policy.
Staff periodically review business processes and identify areas where fees are not properly
accounting for the level of service provided to individual customers by city staff. Accordingly,
the proposed Master Fee Schedule includes the following new fees described below:
Temporary discharge to sewer fee
This fee is needed to recover the treatment costs and staff time when there is a
temporary connection to discharge into a Carlsbad sewer access point. Temporary
discharges occur for construction and pipeline dewatering and for temporary sewer flow
diversions. Both private contractors and public agencies may be subject to the fee. The
fee relates to a special use permit that a discharger would have to obtain from the
Encina Wastewater Authority for adding wastewater flow to the treatment plant. This
proposed fee is needed to recover costs for the Utilities Department, which the
authority bills for wastewater treatment. The Utilities Department will develop a form to
calculate the actual treatment cost per gallon of wastewater for each occurrence. This
amount will be charged to the discharger along with a processing fee based on the staff
time required to manage the program.
City Planner determination fee
A City Planner determination is a written response to a request regarding the
classification of uses and the interpretation and applicability of the provisions of the
Zoning Code (Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code). A letter may include a
determination about whether a specific use is appropriate in a certain zoning district,
how the city intends to apply certain standards on land use development application
requests or whether a certain use may retain its legal nonconforming status. These
letters require extensive research on the part of the Community Development
Department. As part of the review process, the case planner will receive, route and
review various studies and reports, analyze the information submitted by the applicant
and prepare an analysis. The information reviewed may include building permit records,
copies of leases if applicable and other documents that provide further insight into the
question being posed. These requests may take a week or more to process. Once a
determination is made, the City Planner must prepare written findings to support it. The
new proposed city planner determination fee reflects the time spent on actual
determination requests in the previous year.
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 13 of 345
Re-recording or cancellation of an instrument on real property fee
Any permit or approval granted in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance adheres to the
land. Recording an instrument of real property is the act of putting a document into
official county records. It is an important process because it provides a traceable chain
of title to a property, ensures the rights and entitlements of property owners and
discloses any conditions of approval, covenants applying to the property or
environmental mitigation measures. Currently, the Master Fee Schedule reflects all
post-permit actions and duties, including the act of receiving, processing and recording
permit-related instruments in accordance with local, state and federal law. However,
the Master Fee Schedule does not account for cost recovery services related to the
processing of re-recording documents when they are amended, or cancelling
instruments when they are no longer applicable to real property. The proposed new fee
reflects the time spent on actual cases in the previous year.
Short-term vacation rental permit application fee
Since the program began in 2015, property owners wanting to start a short-term
vacation rental applied to the city’s Finance Department for a business license. Those
applications were routed to the Community Development Department for review and
approval. The Finance Department issued the business license once it was approved and
the license fee was paid. This process has proven to be highly inefficient and
inconsistent with how the city processes other similar permit types. A business license is
not designed to act as a permit that can be conditioned or revoked for failure to meet
city standards and the business license tax does not cover staff costs associated with the
review of a short-term vacation rental request. Like other cities that allow short-term
vacation rental, the Community Development Department has recently developed an
application specifically for short-term vacation rentals. The application contains key
information and conditions unique to these rentals to show compliance with Carlsbad
Municipal Code Chapter 5.60 – Short-term vacation rentals. Under the new application
program, once the short-term vacation rental application is approved by the Community
Development Department and the applicant receives their permit, the applicant then
applies for a business license with the Finance Department. This two-step process is
consistent with how the department processes similar permit types and is consistent
with how other cities operate. The proposed new fee is based upon this new process.
This proposed short-term vacation rental permit application fee falls well within the
range charged by other cities.
Right-of-way permits for telecommunications fee
California Government Code Section 50030 prohibits cities from charging
telecommunications facility siting fees that exceed the reasonable costs of conducting
the permitting and location siting services. Recent changes in state law (namely
Assembly Bill 965) now require batched permit processing as the simultaneous review
of up to 50 substantially similar applications under a single permit. Although the change
in the state law requires cities to substantially increase both the scope and amount of
wireless communication facilities and broadband connections that can be batched in a
single permit, the Master Fee Schedule does not have a fee for that type of service.
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 14 of 345
SolarApp+ residential fee
As an alternative to the city’s standard permit review for solar applications, there is a
new automated application for permitting new residential rooftop solar and storage
systems that results in instantaneous permitting called SolarApp+. Although much of the
upfront processing requirements are performed through the city’s online portal,
reducing the need for intake and processing services, staff’s services are still required to
close out the process. Once all permits to construct the solar installation have been
issued and the system has been installed, it must be inspected before final approval is
granted. After the system passes final inspection, staff purges unnecessary
documentation from the case file, closes out the permit and digitizes the records. This
new proposed fee will provide a lower cost option for eligible residential customers.
Appeal of building official decision fee
Any person adversely affected by a determination made by the city’s Building Official
may appeal the determination by submitting a written appeal to the appeals board. City
support staff then schedule and coordinate a hearing to consider the appeal. The
Building Official and support staff prepare a meeting agenda and report that analyzes
the basis of the appeal and considers relevant evidence presented. A staff report will be
submitted to the building appeals board and made available to the appellant and posted
online before the hearing. The staff report provides information on the appeal and the
decision or determination being appealed and may include a recommended action and
proposed decision in a form that may be adopted by the appeals board. The Building
Official may also consult with outside experts to assist with the analysis. The appeals
board considers all written and oral evidence at a public meeting and documents all
decisions and findings in writing. A copy of the decision is delivered to the appellant.
The proposed new fee reflects the estimated time spent on actual cases and the amount
of administrative time required to conduct public hearings in the previous year.
Additionally, this year’s evaluation determined that these fees are no longer in use, and staff
recommend removing them from the Master Fee Schedule:
Safety Training Center, special events recovery hourly fee
The Safety Training Center no longer hosts special events and so this fee is no longer
needed.
Safety Training Center, shooting range hazardous waste disposal
This fee has not been charged to any users because the cost has typically been rolled
into the overall cost of disposing of hazardous waste and operating the Safety Training
Center.
Blueprinting of standard size improvement plan sheet fee
This fee is no longer used by the Utilities Department and can be removed from the fee
schedule.
The City Council separately approved updated park land in-lieu fees on April 23, 2024, that are
incorporated into the new proposed Master Fee Schedule. While the proposed Master Fee
Schedule will take effect on Sept. 1, 2024, the new park land in-lieu fees will take effect on
July 1, 2024. Increases to the city’s trash collection rates are set by the contracted service
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 15 of 345
provider and will also go into effect on July 1, 2024. Details on these rates can be found in the
proposed Master Fee Schedule in the attached Exhibit 8.
Gann spending limit
Along with approving the budget, the City Council is also being asked to approve the city’s Gann
spending limit for fiscal year 2024-25. The Gann limit is a state constitutional amendment that
limits the amount of tax-funded government spending to 1978–1979 levels, adjusted for
inflation and population. The limit applies to both state and local governments, like the City of
Carlsbad. The previous fiscal year’s limit was $607,584,374. Information necessary to calculate
the limit for fiscal year 2024-25 is still being finalized and will be incorporated into the budget
for final adoption on June 18, 2024.
Options
The City Council/Board/Commission may accept the report of the proposed fiscal year 2024-25
Operating, Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program, Capital Improvement Program
budgets and Master Fee Schedule without changes and direct staff to set a public hearing date
of June 18, 2024, to consider adoption of the fiscal year 2024-25 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 2024-25 Operating Budget, Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program,
and Capital Improvement Program budgets and Master Fee Schedule prior to the public hearing
date of June 18, 2024. 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 2024-25 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 18, 2024.
Next Steps
Staff will conduct a Budget Workshop to answer questions and receive community input on the
proposed budget on May 23, 2024, at 5:30 p.m.
The City Council/Board/Commission will hold the public hearing to consider adoption of the
new budgets and the revised Master Fee Schedule on June 18, 2024. Any changes directed by
the City Council/Board/Commission will be reflected in the final documents at the June 18
meeting.
Environmental Evaluation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project
within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public
Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

OPERATING BUDGET REVENUE SUMMARY
The Operating Budget for fiscal year
2024-25 totals $419.0 million, with
revenues for the year estimated at
$415.9 million. General Fund
revenues are estimated at $239.1
million and General Fund budgeted
expenditures are $238.5 million,
which includes an additional $13.8
million in one-time transfers to the
General Capital Construction Fund
and $7.0 million to the Workers’
Compensation Fund. Excluding the
one-time uses of General Fund
surplus, the General Fund budgeted
operating expenditures are $217.7 million.
Revenue estimates for the Operating Budget indicate the city will receive a total of $415.9 million in
fiscal year 2024-25, a change of 4.0% or $16.0 million above the estimated fiscal year 2023-24
revenues. General Fund revenues are expected to increase by $27.0 million compared to the prior
year’s adopted revenues and $4.2 million or 1.8% compared to fiscal year 2023-24 estimates. Special
Revenue funds are projected to decrease by 10.4% or $2.5 million over fiscal year 2023-24 estimates.
Enterprise Fund revenues are projected to increase by 8.0% or $7.5 million in the upcoming fiscal
year. Internal service funds are increasing over the prior year’s adopted budget and to fiscal year
2023-24 estimates. This is primarily driven by one-time transfers in from the General Fund to fund
Workers’ Compensation, in addition to increasing revenue collections due to increasing costs across
all internal service funds. The Successor Agency Housing Trust is no longer receiving any material
revenue as the loan owed to the General Fund has now been fully repaid. 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 2023-24, as well as those budgeted for fiscal year 2024-25.

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 city fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic’s adverse fiscal impacts by fiscal year 2022-23.
Immediately following the pandemic and during the city’s fiscal recovery, economic uncertainty
spiked from unprecedented inflationary increases. Between March of 2021 and November of 2023,
the consumer price index for the San Diego region experienced continual inflationary increases
ranging between 4.1% and 8.3%. Generally, during periods of high inflation, consumer demand
diminishes which may negatively impact revenues sources like sales tax, transient occupancy tax and
charges for services. To account for this, revenue estimates for both fiscal year 2022-23 and 2023-24
were set conservatively; however, pent-up demand and increased levels of personal saving during the
pandemic allowed consumer demand to sustain higher prices for goods and services. Based on
current fiscal year 2023-24 revenue estimates, inflation has not yet negatively impacted the city’s
revenue sources. However, as personal savings accumulated during the pandemic is absorbed by
pent-up demand and inflation, we are beginning to see a slowdown, particularly with sales tax and
transient occupancy tax revenues. The Federal Reserve has also taken swift action in response to
inflation, increasing interest rate ranges from 0.25% - 0.50% to 5.25% - 5.50% in just over a one-year
period. Resultingly, inflation has decreased, but the Federal Reserve will continue to monitor
inflationary data before considering any rate reductions. The risk of recession is still prevalent and
continued inflationary increases indicate the most prudent path is to maintain a conservative outlook
for the city’s revenues in the future.
Nearly 80% of General Fund revenues are derived from three sources: property tax, sales tax, and
transient occupancy tax, or TOT. Sales tax 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 $3.1 million, or
3.4%, over last year’s estimates. While the residential real estate market in Carlsbad has seen significant
increases in values in recent years, the growth has continued to cool off. Commercial property assessed
values are expected to remain relatively flat as the increase in interest rates has created immense

uncertainty in the sector. In response to the unprecedented inflationary increases experienced over the
last three years, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes have made purchasing a home more difficult
for borrowers. While demand remains relatively high both locally and around the state and although
median home values in Carlsbad have increased to $1.5 million as of March 2024, changes to interest
rate targets will likely have an impact on home values during the upcoming fiscal 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.
Assessed values on the residential real estate side are expected to grow modestly, capped by
California’s Proposition 13. Adopted in 1978, Proposition 13 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. In recent years, 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. Now, increasing rates and diminishing pent-up demand as we move past the
pandemic will likely have adverse impacts compared to prior periods. Based on resale data from
Zillow, the median price of a single-family residence in Carlsbad is $1.5 million, up by 12.0% year over
year as of March 2024.
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 2024-25 are based on assessed values as of January 1, 2024.
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 absorbed the inflationary increases experienced since 2021. The restrictions resulting
from the COVID-19 pandemic 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. With the pandemic and its fiscal impacts behind us, the uncertainty
stems from lingering inflation, whether the rise in interest rates will lower inflation levels adequately,
and the timing for when the Federal Reserve will begin lowering interest rate targets in the future.
Sales tax revenues improved markedly up until fiscal year 2019-20, 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, sales tax levels generally correlated with shelter-in-place mandates. As restrictions were lifted,
the city’s sales tax levels recovered—the city ended fiscal year 2020-21 with $44 million in sales tax
revenues. Fiscal year 2021-22 experienced the most accelerated recovery, ending the year at a
historic high of $51.2 million in sales tax revenues. The fiscal year 2022-23 and 2023-24 sales tax
estimates reflected uncertainty surrounding market and economic conditions like inflation and
impacts to disposable income. Despite the levels of inflation, growth has been positive over this
period; however, we are beginning to see some industry groups cool off compared to previous
periods. With inflation still increasing at a rate higher than desired by the Federal Reserve as well as
existing recessionary risk, staff have proposed a conservative estimate of $59.4 million in budgeted
revenue for fiscal year 2024-25 which represents an increase of $0.5 million, or 0.8%, over fiscal year
2023-24 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 the 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 have grown steadily and reached a high of $17.1 million for the four quarters ended
December 31, 2023. With general retail sales tax suffering for the year ended December 31, 2020,
and recovering in the year after, the most recent four quarters have shown full recovery as of
calendar year 2022, but growth has leveled off during calendar year 2023.
Sales tax revenues include those received under Proposition 72, a 0.5 cent increase in California sales
tax for the funding of local public safety services.
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, the city experienced year-over-year decreases of 27% and
16%. Recovery from the pandemic was estimated conservatively; however, fiscal year 2021-22
proved otherwise, reaching a historic high of $32.4 million driven by the easing of restrictions, pent-
up demand and an increase in average daily room rates. This trend continued in fiscal year 2022-23,
whereby actual revenues exceeded conservative estimates that were applied to account for
sustained levels of unprecedented inflation. Fiscal year 2023-24 is the first year in which year-over-
year quarterly comparisons indicate a revenue slow down. It is estimated that fiscal year 2023-24
revenues will exceed the prior year, but future growth may be tempered by inflation, tourism
demand and its impact on average daily room rates.
Franchise Tax revenue has grown moderately in recent years and is projected at $8.9 million in
fiscal year 2024-25. 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 has experienced minor revenue increases that mirror growth in population and changes in rate
structures. Cable TV franchise revenue is expected to remain relatively consistent from $2.0 million in

fiscal year 2023-24 to $2.1 million in fiscal year 2024-25. This revenue source will most likely remain
stable or decline 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 2024-25 is relatively
modest compared to the increase experienced in fiscal year 2022-23 that was driven by the $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 experienced a significant increase in fiscal year 2022-23 of $919,000
due to price increases but is expected to remain relatively 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 $6.6 million in fiscal year 2024-25. This represents growth of $0.2 million or 3% when
compared to last year’s current estimates. Increases in business license taxes correlate with sales tax
revenue increases as businesses either pay taxes based on the amount of their gross receipts or
based on set fees. There are currently about 9,529 licensed businesses in the City of Carlsbad, 63 less
than in the prior year with 6,630 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 2024-25 the city expects a
16% increase in development related revenues to
approximately $3.4 million. This follows lower than
anticipated development activity occurring in fiscal
year 2023-24. The projected increase in
development-related revenues is tied to the volume
and type of development projected to be permitted,
multi-family versus single-family, and the revenues
derived from building fees which occur in the early
stages of development. Increases applied to these
charges for services are made in accordance with City
Council Policy No. 95 – Cost Recovery.

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 decrease by 10.9% compared to the prior
year’s adopted budget, as a result of the city’s regular update to its citywide cost allocation, which
drives the revenue allocations.
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 $4.1 million in interest on its
General Fund investments for fiscal year 2024-25 and another $3.0 million in rental and lease income.
The yield on the city’s portfolio is forecasted to average 2.4% 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 $0.4 million over last year’s estimates, from
$7.2 million to $7.7 million. This increase is driven by a combination of the Fire Department’s recent
fee study implementation, the addition of two medical transports, the Ground Emergency Medical
Transportation Certified Public Expenditure Program, which helps cover uncompensated costs for
Medi-Cal fee-for-service transports, and the participation in the Public Provider Ground Emergency
Medical Transport Intergovernmental Transfer Program which will provide add-on reimbursement
payments to help cover uncompensated costs in the future.
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 $1.7 million in transfer taxes for fiscal year 2024-25 which is a 3.2%
increase from fiscal year 2023-24 estimates. The residential real estate market continues to remain
strong; however, this will likely be influenced by the Federal Reserve’s actions regarding interest
rates. Housing prices in Carlsbad have increased in recent months and inventories are expected to
remain low due to the insulated local demand.
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 decreased substantially in fiscal year 2022-23 and are expected to
remain relatively consistent in fiscal year 2024-25, in line with last year’s estimates.
The All other revenues category includes fines and forfeitures, transfers in, miscellaneous
reimbursed expenses, and other charges and fees. The estimate for fiscal year 2023-24 totals $0.5
million and is expected at $0.25 million in fiscal year 2024-25.

B-9
Overall, and as reflected in the bar chart above, General Fund revenues are expected to increase $4.2
million or 1.8% from fiscal year 2023-24 estimates. The General Fund’s primary tax revenues are
estimated to increase conservatively over last year’s estimates to account for the current economic
uncertainty and risk of recession. Despite lingering inflation, the General Fund’s total revenues are
expected to be bolstered by stable property tax values, a diversified sales tax base, and the
implementation of the city’s cost recovery policy which increases fees for services in line with
appropriate cost recovery levels.
Other Funds
Revenues from Special Revenue funds are expected to total $21.9 million, a decrease of $2.5
million or 10.4% from fiscal year 2023-24 estimates. 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:

Compared to the fiscal year 2023-24 adopted budget, the most noteworthy changes in the Special
Revenue funds occurred in the Encampment Resolution Fund, whereby the city received $2.4 million
of one-time grant revenue in fiscal year 2023-24 that it will not receive again in fiscal year 2024-25.
The other significant change is in the Rental Assistance Fund, where increases of $1.0 million are
expected to occur compared to fiscal year 2023-24 estimates. These revenues are primarily funded
from federal grants.
There is no revenue budgeted in the Successor Agency Housing Trust Fund, other than
interest income from remaining funds. 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 debt service payments were completed in fiscal year 2023-24.
Enterprise fund revenues for fiscal year 2024-25 are projected at $101.9 million representing an
increase of 8.0% or $7.5 million over fiscal year 2023-24 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 goods or services. Carlsbad enterprise funds include water and recycled water delivery,
wastewater services, solid waste management and the operation of a municipal golf course.
The Water Enterprise Fund revenue for fiscal year 2024-25 is estimated at $50.1 million
representing an increase of $2.5 million or 5.3% when compared to fiscal year 2023-24 revenue
estimates. This is driven by increases in water delivery charges. Projected revenues for Recycled
Water of $11.1 million are expected to increase by $1.4 million or 14.4% as minor customer growth
is expected and a 1% rate increase is forecasted.

Forecasted revenues for Wastewater are $25.9 million representing a 14.2% or $3.2 million
increase over fiscal year 2023-24 estimates. This increased estimate is largely driven by rate increases
of 20% in 2023 to support rising treatment costs and aging infrastructure costs.
Estimated revenues from operations of the Golf Course are $11.3 million, a slight increase of $0.3
million or 3.1% when compared to fiscal year 2023-24 estimates.
Solid Waste Management revenues are projected at $3.4 million, consistent with fiscal year
2023-24 estimates.
Internal Service funds project estimated revenues of $53.1 million for fiscal year 2024-25
representing an increase of 14.8% or $6.9 million over fiscal year 2023-24 projections. This increase is
driven by a one-time transfer from the General Fund of $7 million to fund Workers’ Compensation,
along with increases corresponding with rising costs across all internal service funds.
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 2024-25. The fiscal year 2024-25 operating budget includes $14.5 million for Workers’
Compensation, including a one-time transfer from the General Fund of $7.0 million, and $8.0 million
for Risk Management.

Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement charges are budgeted at $4.1 million and $7.2 million,
respectively. Vehicle Maintenance revenues are up compared to fiscal year 2023-24 estimates
primarily due increasing fuel costs. 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 lives are now being replaced with hybrids 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 as well as supply chain disruptions
and unprecedented inflation that have significantly driven up prices.
Information Technology charges to departments have increased by 11.9% or $2.1 million when
compared to fiscal year 2023-24 estimates. The main reason for this increase is due to a
departmental reorganization of the city’s innovation group, bringing the group into the Internal
Service Fund budget. The increase is also attributable to contractual increases to existing service
contracts.
Internal Service Fund Allocation Methodology
Most of the revenue for the city’s internal service funds is generated from internal service charges.
The expenses of each fund are budgeted for and then allocated to other funds on an annual basis.
Each fund uses a different allocation basis to charge other funds for its costs, summarized below.
Vehicle Replacement – Based on equipment assigned to departments.
Vehicle Maintenance – A combination of fixed and variable maintenance charges. Fixed
maintenance charges are based on a three-year average of maintenance costs in
combination with budgeted labor costs. Variable maintenance charges are based on actuals.
Information Technology Operations – A combination of computers per department for
citywide maintenance/licensing and direct charges for department-specific items.
Information Technology Replacement – Based on a combination of equipment and hardware
specifically assigned to a department and for infrastructure hardware an allocation based on
computers per department as a percentage of citywide computers.
Workers’ Compensation – Based on a combination of personnel count and five-year average
claims costs by department.
General Liability – Based on a combination of personnel count, five-year average claims costs

OPERATING BUDGET EXPENDITURE SUMMARY
The city’s Operating Budget for fiscal year 2024-25 totals $419.0 million, which represents an increase
of about $41.7 million or 11.1% as compared to the adopted fiscal year 2023-24 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 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.
To ensure the city continues to maintain a balanced budget and analyze its use of taxpayer dollars,
the City Manager asked departments to reduce their existing budgets for fiscal year 2023-24 and
decrease discretionary spending wherever possible. While administrative leadership’s direction for
the fiscal year 2024-25 budget cycle does not propose a mandated budget reduction by each
department, it will continue the expectation that staff incorporate opportunities to do business more
efficiently and focus on spending areas that can be reduced with little to no impact on the
community. In response to City Council feedback requesting staff identify ways to contain ongoing
operational costs within the organization, staff conducted a review of staffing levels, workload and
existing vacancies in an effort to find new opportunities for savings. As a result, 12 full-time
equivalent positions are recommended for elimination as part of the fiscal year 2024-25 budget. This
directive came after budget reductions of nearly 2% and 3% were achieved in fiscal year 2022-23 and
2023-24, respectively. These efforts contributed to the city’s ability to present a balanced budget in
fiscal year 2024-25 push the projected deficit further out to the future. The reductions proposed
were carefully evaluated to ensure ongoing service level impacts were mitigated as much as possible.
The total Operating Budget for the General Fund for fiscal year 2024-25 is $238.5 million which is
$21.5 million or 9.9% more than the previous year’s adopted budget of $216.9 million. These changes
are discussed in more detail on the following pages.

Personnel costs make up 57% of the General Fund budget. The total personnel budget for fiscal
year 2024-25 is $134.7 million which is $4.6 million or 3.6% greater than the previous year’s total
personnel budget of $130.1 million. This is driven by an increase in CalPERS’ unfunded liability
payment, negotiated compensation increases as well as anticipated step increases. In fiscal year
2024-25, the preliminary budget continues to propose including a line item for “vacancy savings.”
This represents the estimated amount of budgeted personnel savings that will be realized by the end
of the fiscal year. This mechanism is 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-time and part-time staff costs and are expected to increase in fiscal year 2024-25 by $1.3
million or 1.5%. The increase is primarily due to negotiated salary increases offset by a reduction in
total full-time equivalents of 9.7. The full-time staffing changes are listed on the following page.

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 pension
costs still pose 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 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. Fiscal year 2024-25
reflects $12.7 million of city contributions required to make up for CalPERS’ abysmal investment
performance in fiscal year 2021-22. This represents an increase of $2.5 million or 25% compared to
the previous year.
In support of CalPERS strategies for
plan sustainability, and as part of the

financial management, the city

General Fund Health Insurance costs in the General Fund are increasing slightly from $10.7 million
to $10.9 million. Other Personnel Costs include workers’ compensation expenses and other
miscellaneous costs such as Medicare, unemployment and disability which are increasing collectively
by $0.9 million or 11.9%.
Maintenance and Operations costs represent about 27.6% 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 $65.7 million, which represents an
increase of about $0.8 million or 1.3% for fiscal year 2024-25 when compared to fiscal year 2023-24.
Fiscal year 2021-22 and 2022-23 experienced inflationary increases ranging between 4.1% and 8.3%
which drove the city’s need to contain costs and identify areas for reduction with minimal service
level impacts. Although inflation has declined compared to previous periods, it is still ranging
between 3.6% and 5.2% thus far in fiscal year 2023-24. While it is expected that inflation will continue
to slowly decrease, much uncertainty remains around the Federal Reserve’s actions to adjust target
interest rates. As a result, the fiscal year 2024-25 proposes a minimal increase to maintenance and
operations given the lingering inflation in the economy.
Capital Outlay includes budgeted equipment purchases over $1,000. Capital outlay purchases of
$0.5 million are budgeted in the General Fund for fiscal year 2024-25. This represents an increase of
$0.4 million and is primarily due to the Police Department’s need to purchase AED replacements for
its fleet of vehicles in the upcoming year.
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. The city’s Capital Improvement Program and Strategic Digital Transformation Investment
Program budgets include future projected operating impacts, which are estimated in the tables found
in sections H and I, respectively.
Advances
Advances and repayments of prior advances are amounts anticipated to be transferred from the
General Fund to other city funds with expectation of repayment in future years. No General Fund
advances are included in this year’s operating budget.

Expenditures in the General Fund remained relatively consistent until fiscal year 2016-17, when the
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 reconstruction and $14.8 million to pay off 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. 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 and
higher mutual aid costs.
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 that
unprecedented time.
Fiscal year 2020-21 expenditures reflect an additional $10 million one-time payment to CalPERS to
further bring down the city’s unfunded pension liability. The increase was largely offset by the
continuation of the 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 again made an additional one-time $6.4 million payment to
CalPERS to bring down the city’s unfunded pension liability.
Fiscal year 2022-23 expenditures include the addition of 24 full-time employees as well as a number
of new one-time requests to execute City Council goals, as well as a total of $10.6 million in one-time
transfers to fund Workers’ Compensation, Risk Management, and Fleet Maintenance. Lastly, a $2
million allocation was approved to fund the Safer Streets local emergency.

Fiscal year 2023-24 expenditures include budget reductions of approximately 3% of the base
maintenance and operations budget, offset by negotiated compensation and contractual benefit
increases. Additionally, a $5.2 million allocation was approved for the Carlsbad Village Trenching
Project.
Another way of looking at the General Fund budget is
by Program Expenditures. The chart below
compares the total fiscal year 2024-25 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:
$14.4 million split evenly between the Infrastructure Replacement Fund, General Capital
Construction Fund and the Technology Investment Capital Fund ($4.8 million each). This will
fund major new construction, maintenance and 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.

department’s budget can be found

$13.8 million in additional transfers to the General Capital Construction Fund resulting from
the estimated General Fund surplus. The General Capital Construction Fund is funded by the
General Fund and includes many capital projects programmed in the future. The level of
funding necessary to fully fund these projects is an increasing concern. This one-time
transfer amount will assist with funding the city’s general capital construction into the
future.
$7.0 million in additional transfers to the Workers’ Compensation Fund in an effort to
increase the program’s reserve to achieve a funded status of approximately 85%. This level
of funding is consistent with actuarial standards and in accordance with recommendations
from the city’s external auditors.
$0.4 million to the Storm Water Program for reimbursement of the General Fund portion of
Storm Water expenses.
$1.5 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.
$0.6 million to the Fleet Replacement Fund for historical chargebacks related to a Police
Department vehicle purchase.
General Fund Summary
The operating budget for fiscal year 2024-25 provides a balanced General Fund budget for the coming
fiscal year with General Fund revenue estimates exceeding General Fund budgeted expenditures by
$0.6 million.
Fiscal Year 2024-25 General Fund Operating Budget
General Fund fiscal year 2024-25 revenue estimates $239.1 million
General Fund fiscal year 2024-25 preliminary expenditures $238.5 million
Projected operating surplus for fiscal year 2024-25 $ 0.6 million
General Fund Reserves
Projected unassigned balance at June 30, 2024 $148.4 million
Plus: projected fiscal year 2023-24 surplus $ 0.6 million
Less: asset replacement reserve allocation $ (17.5 million)
Equals: projected unassigned balance at June 30, 2025 $131.5 million
Asset Replacement Reserve
The city commits to maintaining its large machinery and equipment inventory. When an asset is
procured, it begins depreciating the moment it is put into service and needs to be replaced at the end
of its respective useful life. The city’s large equipment inventory represents approximately $60 million
of the city’s total fixed assets. On an annual basis, this translates to a significant financial need and
commitment to maintain the inventory. In an effort to not only prioritize these purchases, but to
strategically plan for the ongoing financial impacts, staff recommend establishing a General Fund

B-20
Asset Replacement Reserve. Separate and apart from the General Fund Reserve (City Council Policy
No. 74), this Asset Replacement Reserve will serve as a mechanism for funding large machinery and
equipment needs without impacting the General Fund Reserve or annual budget surplus year after
year. As of fiscal year 2024-25, and for the next 10 fiscal years, a total of $17.5 million is projected to
be needed to fund asset replacement costs in the General Fund.
Changes in Other Funds
Special Revenue funds are budgeted at $21.3 million representing an increase in expenditures of
5.1% or $1.0 million when compared to fiscal year 2023-24. Other than a $2.0 million increase in
rental assistance programming and $1.1 million decrease for one-time Permanent Local Housing
Allocation grant funds, spending in most Special Revenue Fund programs is expected to remain
relatively consistent with the prior year.
Expenditure increases of $2.0 million or 17.5% 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. The fiscal year 2024-25 expenditure budget is also $1.1 million less than fiscal
year 2022-23 due to one-time revenue received in the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Fund.
These are state funds provided to local governments in California for housing-related projects and
programs that assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of local communities.
Enterprise funds total $118.5 million, which represents an increase of $12.7 million or 12.1% over
the fiscal year 2023-24 adopted budget. The Potable Water and Recycled Water funds continue to
operate and maintain critical infrastructure systems and provide the safe delivery of drinking water,
conservation outreach and treated irrigation water. The cost of purchased water continues to
increase, causing an overall increase in the Potable Water budget. The Wastewater fund provides
reliable wastewater collection services. The budget for this fund’s increase is primarily due to an
increase in the transfers out to fund its related capital improvement fund.
The Internal Service funds total $40.7 million, which represents an overall increase of $7.4 million
or 22.3% over fiscal year 2023-24. Much of the increase in Workers’ Compensation and Risk
Management costs is attributable to rising insurance liability rates, claims filed and administrative
costs. Vehicle Replacement is the largest contributor to the increase and driven by a higher number of
more costly vehicles scheduled for purchase in the upcoming year. Information Technology is $2.1
million or 12.4% higher than the previous year which is due to contractual service increases as well as
a reorganization of staff from Innovation & Economic Development Department.
The budget for the Successor Agency Housing Trust Fund for fiscal year 2024-25 is decreasing by
$1.0 million compared to last year. The Recognized Obligation Payments Schedule 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 was
completed in September 2023 and the city loan was paid off in fiscal year 2020-21. In fiscal year 2024-
25, the city will work to complete the dissolution and close the fund.

Changes to Fund Balance
While the projected cumulative change in the city’s non-major operating funds’ ending balances is not
significant, two major operating funds are projected to see changes in their fund balances greater than
10%. The Water Operations Fund is expected to decrease by 35.2% by the end of fiscal year 2024-25,
largely due to increasing operations costs and cash transfers to account for depreciation. The Recycled
Water Operations Fund is expected to increase because it is not completing a cash transfer to account
for depreciation and the funding of capital projects in fiscal year 2024-25; the ability for the fund to
complete this cash transfer will be reevaluated in future years.

UTILITIES: RECYCLED WATER OPERATIONS
Account: 5026310 Fund: Enterprise
ABOUT
The Carlsbad Municipal Water District owns the Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility located next to the
Encina Wastewater Authority treatment plant. CMWD takes treated wastewater from that plant and
further treats it to the 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 water
supply for non-potable purposes. Recycled water is not subject to state water conservation requirements.
CMWD implements a recycled water asset management plan to minimize the total cost of owning and
operating utility assets while continuing to deliver high levels of service at acceptable levels of risk.
Delivery of this water includes the operation and maintenance of the recycled water system’s three
storage tanks, four pump stations, three pressure regulating stations, six pressure zones, approximately
97 miles of pipelines, 1,050 valves and 1,010 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.

ABOUT
The Utilities Department is responsible for providing wastewater services to approximately 85,000
customers within the city’s service area. The Utilities wastewater mission is to prevent sewer spills
and convey waste efficiently to the Encina Wastewater Authority’s treatment plant by properly
managing, operating and maintaining all parts of the city’s sewer system. A portion of Carlsbad’s
treated wastewater is diverted from the ocean outfall and sent to the Carlsbad Water Recycling
Facility for further treatment.
The Wastewater Division maintains a sanitary sewage collection system that includes 11 wastewater
lift stations and wet wells and about 270 miles of gravity main lines, six miles of pressurized main
lines, and approximately 6,200 access holes. The Utilities Department implements a robust
wastewater asset management program to minimize the total cost of owning and operating utility
assets while continuing to deliver high levels of service at acceptable levels of risk.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THIS YEAR’S BUDGET
In response to City Council feedback requesting staff identify additional ways to contain ongoing
operational costs within the organization, staff conducted a review of staffing levels, workload and
existing vacancies in an effort to find new opportunities for savings. As part of this effort, Community
Development eliminated a vacant associate engineer position primarily responsible for performing
grading and improvement plan checks and discretionary permit reviews. The duties of this position s
will be distributed to existing staff without a significant service level impact.

housing programs, 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

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THIS YEAR’S BUDGET
In response to City Council feedback requesting staff identify additional ways to contain ongoing
operational costs within the organization, staff conducted a review of staffing levels, workload and
existing vacancies in an effort to find new opportunities for savings. As part of this effort, Library &
Cultural Arts eliminated a vacant lead librarian position primarily responsible for supporting public
services at Dove Library. Some of this work will be distributed to other librarian staff, and potential
impacts of this position being eliminated include reduced public programs.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THIS YEAR’S BUDGET
In response to City Council feedback requesting staff identify additional ways to contain ongoing
operational costs within the organization, staff conducted a review of staffing levels, workload and
existing vacancies in an effort to find new opportunities for savings. As part of this effort, Library &
Cultural Arts eliminated a vacant new production technician position originally approved as part of
the fiscal year 2023-24 budget. Some of this work will be distributed to library staff and program
offerings and rentals in the Schulman Auditorium may need to be reduced.

MISCELLANEOUS NON-DEPARTMENTAL

Fund: General
Special Revenue - Opioid Settlement Fund
ABOUT
The miscellaneous non-departmental budget accounts for all General Fund transfers to other funds,
City Council contingencies and other miscellaneous General Fund expenses, such as outside legal
counsel, personnel vacancy savings, citywide final vacation pay, and citywide dues and subscriptions.
COVID-19 related expenditures are minimal and are associated with the previous COVID-19 Economic
Recovery and Revitalization Initiative. Vacancy savings, or anticipated personnel savings over the
course of the fiscal year, were first added to the budget in fiscal year 2022-23. Accounting for $2
million in vacancy savings will allow for budgeted personnel costs to align with actual personnel costs
more closely in the General Fund.
The Carlsbad Strategic Plan includes a strategic objective to work with the San Diego Association of
Governments and the North County Transit District to prioritize, determine costs, and work with state
and federal representatives to seek funding for preliminary design and technical studies for lowering
the railroad tracks in the Village. The fiscal year 2023-24 budget appropriated $5.22 million from the
General Fund Reserve and directed staff to request that the San Diego Association of Governments,
or SANDAG, submit a FY 2023 Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant Program application for the project
as the lead agency.

STRATEGIC DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION INVESTMENT
PROGRAM
The Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program, or SDTIP, is a comprehensive approach to
planning for and funding digital transformation efforts throughout the city. Several documents inform
this program, including the City Council-approved Connected Carlsbad: An Inclusive City Innovation
Roadmap, the Internal Digital Information Network Action Plan, and the Information Technology
Strategy, which are complemented by a five-year projected roadmap of digital transformation
investments. The SDTIP is the strategic plan for technology and digital transformation combined with
project descriptions, costs, funding sources and timelines. The purpose of this program is to provide
for an annual investment strategy, not a commitment for spending, that outlines a five-year
expenditure plan for future digital transformation and technology projects and the corresponding
revenues necessary to pay for them.
Connected Carlsbad: An Inclusive City Innovation Roadmap
In January 2019, city staff presented Connected Carlsbad: An Inclusive City Innovation Roadmap,
designed to provide a high-level, organized guide outlining the principles that matter to the city in
creating a more connected community. This roadmap and its associated action plan were based on a
combination of items, including:
City Council approved projects,
existing city documents,
previous Information Technology assessments and interviews with departments, and
a global scan of other cities and best practices that have emerged from leading smart city
thinkers and Carlsbad-specific community engagement.
The SDTIP expands on the Connected Carlsbad Roadmap to include a strategy for evaluating and
prioritizing projects and a five-year investment roadmap that includes estimated costs and timelines.
This new investment program continues to be organized into the five primary goal areas approved by
City Council in Connected Carlsbad, listed below.
Pursue Communitywide Digital Transformation focuses on the foundational elements,
including connectivity, up-to-date hardware and software, and a robust security strategy
while providing an aspirational vision for the future.
Build Capacity for Data-Driven Government focuses on the policies, procedures and staffing
necessary for the city to fully capture the value of emerging models of data analytics.
Foster a Vibrant Civic Engagement Culture builds upon the first two goals with a human-
centered perspective that an engaged city that uses data and technology in a way that
respects people and their privacy will support a vibrant culture where residents,
organizations and businesses are invested in their community and its future.
Enhance Accessibility and Transparency recognizes that open government and approaching
problem-solving from an accessibility perspective leads to better outcomes for all.
Promote Safety and Sustainability through Connectivity leads to understanding the
interconnected nature of our communities that can achieve environmental, mobility and
sustainability goals when approached in a cross-departmental and community informed
manner.
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 196 of 345
H-2
Once City Council adopts the proposed SDTIP, projects receive an appropriation that authorizes
spending in the amount specified for the adopted fiscal year only. Estimated budget information is
shown for a five-year period to provide the most comprehensive information about known future
projects. Spending authority in future years is not granted until adoption of the annual proposed
SDTIP budget associated with each year.
INVESTING IN DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
As the city continues to grow and develop, the use of technology has also grown exponentially over
the last two decades. The SDTIP outlines the financial resources needed to ensure that the
technology infrastructure is in place to enable the city to provide services to the community. Prudent
financial planning will ensure that ongoing funding for investment in technology is available.
PROJECT EVALUATION
Making decisions on technology implementations is a challenging and complex task. The challenging
nature of these decisions is exacerbated by the expanding reach of technology and the increasingly
interdisciplinary nature of emerging technologies. A major component of the SDTIP is the
establishment of a cross-departmental approach to technology leadership to evaluate, prioritize,
budget for and adopt digital transformation efforts. A new administrative order has been developed
that provides a collaborative forum for key staff to validate and prioritize technology
implementations. This approach also provides a structured venue to explore how particular
configurations of a technology implementation may positively or negatively affect others within the
organization. The process to evaluate digital transformation initiatives is ongoing and meetings may
be held on a monthly, bimonthly or quarterly basis depending on the need.
A number of factors are considered when putting together projects for the five-year program. All
digital transformation and technology projects shall be consistent with:

PROJECTS
PURSUE COMMUNITYWIDE DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION
Consolidation & Replacement of Core Systems
Project Benefits
Without systems that can talk to each other, the city wastes time and resources manually compiling
and integrating data. This greatly affects the city’s ability to make data-driven decisions, which are
needed to ensure the highest and best use of taxpayer resources. Having fewer systems that
consolidate the city’s core business functions will enable streamlined business processes and provide
more timely access to data and information. It will also enhance operations and reduce inefficiencies
of employees having to learn and operate multiple systems.
About This Project
This project provides for the consolidation and replacement of the city’s core systems. There are
approximately 20 core systems including the city’s financial, human resources, payroll, budget, asset
and work order management, licensing and permitting, utilities operations, computer-aided dispatch,
land management, and program-event management. Rather than operate many systems with narrow
applicability, the city is evaluating ways to consolidate its core systems as legacy applications are
replaced. This may mean accelerated replacement for certain systems. The goal is to reduce
redundancy and inefficiency associated with operating many different systems with different
vendors.
Consolidating down to a few systems that seamlessly integrate data and provide a more uniform
interface will improve the experience of city employees and the public. The scope of this multi-year
initiative includes the analysis, selection, purchase and implementation of the software and hardware
necessary to consolidate, replace and integrate these systems with as few systems as possible while
maintaining or enhancing existing capabilities.
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 203 of 345
H-9
The city completed an in-depth process to evaluate functional requirements and business processes
and the city’s consultant provided a comprehensive report outlining the city’s requirements for a new
consolidated system. The report also outlined the options and costs associated with system
consolidation and replacement based on an evaluation of the city’s needs. The city developed and
issued a request for proposals for a new consolidated system and received 12 proposed solutions.
Staff reviewed the proposals and invited four vendors for solution demonstrations. After
demonstrations, staff selected 2 finalists and are in the process of completing a comprehensive due
diligence process before selecting a final solution and entering contract negotiations. City staff are
currently requesting funding of $3.0 million in fiscal year 2024-25 for acquisition and initial
implementation and will request an estimated $4.0 million in funding for the continued
implementation of a new system as part of the fiscal year 2025-26 and 2026-27 SDTIP.
It is not currently feasible to determine any operational or replacement costs because they depend
on the final costs established during contract negotiations.

Digital Information Network
Project Benefits
This network will carry the information needed for data processing, email, internet access, public
safety applications and a wide range of services that are crucial to city operations.
In 2017, Crown Castle reached a licensing agreement with the city allowing it to install wireless data
transmitters on municipal facilities. The agreement with Crown Castle gives the city access to existing
fiber-optic cable assets owned by Crown Castle for city use. These cables are made up of multiple
fibers which cannot be physically separated from the rest of Crown Castle’s cable infrastructure. The
city must make special arrangements with Crown Castle to use this asset.
About This Project
The city has an opportunity to work with a private company called Crown Castle to build a more
robust digital information network for its employees and facilities. Beginning in 2019, the city took
full advantage of this opportunity and replaced a leased network from a third-party vendor.
As the initial phase of this project has been completed, staff are looking ahead to the second and
third phases as originally approved by the City Council. These include leveraging the network to
expand services to the Transportation and Utilities departments to replace the aging network
infrastructure supporting their key systems. The additional funding request for fiscal year 2024-25
includes elements required for this expansion as well as some feature and functionality
enhancements to the services already in place.
For fiscal year 2024-25, $87,000 was included in the Information Technology Department’s operating
fund budget request to account for expansion of the network. With no changes to current funding

Guest Traffic and Facility Usage Analytics
Project Benefits
Currently, the ability to track facility usage is limited to a count of people that walk through the public
entrance of a city library. Once a guest enters the facility, the city does not have any data to identify
what areas of a facility are being used or not used. Additionally, the existing system is past end of life,
is no longer supported and needs to be replaced. Replacing the existing system with a newer solution
that leverages innovative technology will give the city data and analytics that will provide greater
insight into how city facilities are being used.
About This Project
This project will identify, procure and implement a citywide guest traffic and facility usage analytics
solution for city library facilities, parks and recreation centers. Staff are currently in the process of

Cyber Security Program Development
Project Benefits
As a result of internal assessments and evaluations by external parties, city staff have identified
certain initiatives within the five functions of the cybersecurity framework to translate into projects.
Implementation of these projects will incur costs and require funding. The funding will cover
assessment and evaluation, implementation and staff training. Once the security infrastructure is in
place, operational costs will move to the operations budget. City staff identified and planned the
following projects for implementation:
Disaster Recovery program assessment and development,
Detection capability with security incident and event management technology,
Cybersecurity governance program,
Data classification tools, and
Incident response procedure development and training.
About This Project
The cybersecurity program provides support and protection to the City of Carlsbad so it can
successfully accomplish its mission. As the threat landscape is changing and getting more
sophisticated in lockstep with advances in technology, we need to ensure the city’s cybersecurity
program is robust enough to keep threat actors from causing harm to the city.
To ensure we address the different areas and aspects of cybersecurity, city staff have developed and
adopted an approach based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity
Framework to cybersecurity defense program which covers five functions:
Identify – Develop the organizational understanding to manage cybersecurity risk to
systems, assets, data and capabilities. The activities in the Identify function are foundational
for effective use of the Framework. Understanding the business context, the resources that
support critical functions, and the related cybersecurity risks enables an organization to
focus and prioritize its efforts, consistent with its risk management strategy and business
needs. Examples of outcome categories within this function include Asset Management,
Business Environment, Governance, Risk Assessment and Risk Management Strategy.
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 216 of 345
H-22
Protect – Develop and implement the appropriate safeguards to ensure delivery of critical
infrastructure services. The Protect function supports the ability to limit or contain the
impact of a potential cybersecurity event. Examples of outcome categories within this
function include Access Control, Awareness and Training, Data Security, Information
Protection Processes and Procedures, Maintenance, and Protective Technology.
Detect – Develop and implement the appropriate activities to identify the occurrence of a
cybersecurity event. The Detect function enables timely discovery of cybersecurity events.
Examples of outcome categories within this function include Anomalies and Events, Security
Continuous Monitoring, and Detection Processes.
Respond – Develop and implement the appropriate activities to act regarding a detected
cybersecurity event. The Respond function supports the ability to contain the impact of a
potential cybersecurity event. Examples of outcome categories within this function include
Response Planning, Communications, Analysis, Mitigation and Improvements.
Recover – Develop and implement the appropriate activities to maintain plans for resilience
and to restore any capabilities or services that were impaired due to a cybersecurity event.
The Recover function supports timely recovery to normal operations to reduce the impact
from a cybersecurity event. Examples of outcome categories within this function include
Recovery Planning, Improvements and Communications.
At this time and depending on the types of programs implemented over the course of the project,
city staff cannot feasibly determine any operational or replacement costs for fiscal year 2025-26 and
beyond. No new operational or replacement costs were requested for the fiscal year 2024-25 budget
cycle.

Virtual Reality (VR) Training
Project Benefits
Virtual reality (VR) training offers a multitude of benefits for police officers which enhances their
preparedness and capabilities in a safe and controlled environment. One of the primary advantages is
the ability to simulate realistic scenarios, allowing officers to practice responses to high-risk situations
without the associated dangers. This immersive training not only improves decision-making and
situational awareness but also allows for the rehearsal of critical skills such as de-escalation and use
of force in a variety of contexts. Moreover, VR training can be more cost-effective and time-efficient
compared to traditional methods, reducing the need for physical resources and enabling flexible
scheduling. The use of VR also supports continuous learning and skill development as scenarios can
be easily updated to reflect new challenges and procedures.
About This Project
Identify, acquire and implement a VR solution that provides police training in a variety of scenarios
including de-escalation, use of force and other customizable real-life scenarios.

Promote Security and Sustainability Through Connectivity
Billiards Room Membership Infrastructure
This project involves implementing a membership program for the billiards room at the Senior Center
similar to the one that is already in place for the Senior Center fitness room. In addition to configuring
the membership program in the existing recreation management application, an access control
scanner will be installed that integrates with the recreation management application and controls
access into the billiards room.
Construction Waste Management
In order to meet state reporting and metrics requirements related to the diversion of construction
and demolition waste, the city needs to implement an enterprise solution capable of tracking the
amount of waste a permitted project directs to recycling versus a landfill.
Narcotics Safe Migration
The existing safes used to manage and secure the inventory of medical narcotics used by the Fire
department are connected to an on-premises software solution that is being retired and will no
longer be supported by the vendor. As a result, the city needs to migrate to the vendor’s new cloud-
based solution which also requires the replacement of existing fingerprint scanners attached to each
safe with new biometric devices.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City of Carlsbad Capital Improvement Program reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to
maintaining the highest standards of quality facilities for our community today and in the future. It is
a planning document, not a commitment for spending. The program outlines the expenditure plan for
future capital projects and the corresponding revenues to pay for those expenditures.
Projects that are shown in the CIP are generally defined as any construction, rehabilitation or
replacement of major infrastructure such as streets, libraries, parks, fire stations and administrative
facilities, water, sewer and drainage facilities, and other facilities that are located on or in the ground.
In most cases, the total construction cost of each of these assets is recorded and tracked as part of
the city’s inventory of capital infrastructure assets and other city-owned property.
The CIP budget covers a five-year period. Once the City Council adopts the
proposed annual CIP budget, projects receive an appropriation that authorizes
spending in the amount specified for the adopted fiscal year only. Estimated
budget information is shown for a 15-year period to provide the most
comprehensive information about known future projects. Spending authority in
future years is not granted until adoption of the annual proposed CIP budget
associated with each year.
Investing in our quality of life
The City of Carlsbad’s philosophy is to take a proactive, long-range planning approach to building high
quality facilities and infrastructure that support the needs and priorities of the community. Prudent
financial planning has ensured ongoing funding to modernize, repair, and replace existing
infrastructure projects through numerous asset management programs. Since the city applies a
comprehensive asset management approach to infrastructure planning and budgeting it is able to
avoid more costly unexpected repairs or operational needs and minimize the burden on emergency
expenditures.
As the city continues to grow and
develop, there is a corresponding
increase in the demand for development-
related services and new facilities. To
ensure that the necessary infrastructure
and facilities are built on a schedule that
meets or exceeds this demand, the
citizens of Carlsbad adopted a Growth
Management Plan in 1986. The plan was
established to manage development
within the city by linking residential,
commercial, and industrial development
directly to standards for availability of
public services and facilities.
May 21, 2024 Item #7 Page 230 of 345
I-2
The Growth Management Plan states that unless a standard level of facilities is available to meet new
demands resulting from the city’s growth, development cannot proceed. Recently, certain actions,
such as imposing a moratorium, have been determined to be impermissible by the California Housing
and Community Development Department, per Senate Bill 330, Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which
became effective on Jan. 1, 2020.
The detailed level of planning required by Growth Management has allowed the city’s CIP to
anticipate the funding needed for capital improvements in the next 15 years. Facilities such as
community centers, parks and fire stations have been constructed and opened to the public under
this program.
The CIP has been designed to specifically address areas where new or expanded facilities will be
needed to maintain compliance with the adopted performance standards. With the adoption of the
fiscal year 2024-25 CIP, compliance with the Growth Management Plan is continued.
In October 2022, City Council approved a five-year strategic plan with policy goals to reflect the most
important priorities of the community. The CIP budget includes the priority construction projects
identified the strategic plan.
Project evaluation
Development of the CIP is a team effort involving all operational departments, the City Manager’s
Office, the City Council, and the community. Community feedback on infrastructure needs is
considered and incorporated as appropriate. The CIP is fully vetted at multiple levels of the city
organization by appropriate staff using an inclusive and transparent process and reviewed on a
quarterly basis.
Projects were evaluated for the ability
to deliver realistic outcomes
considering anticipated revenue
decreases in some capital funding
sources. The city remains focused on
matching existing resources with
reasonable and achievable project
schedules while continuing to work
on projects that are already
underway. Existing project balances
were evaluated to determine
whether additional funding was
needed or if the existing balances
were adequate. Funding
recommendations were matched
against project timing and balanced against available funding sources.
As the CIP is implemented throughout the year, staff continually re-evaluate projects’ scopes, costs
and schedules to responsibly and cost-effectively manage infrastructure assets at the required levels
of service throughout their lifecycle. Recommendations for project funding consider current project
status, project scheduling and sequencing requirements, project constraints, and current staff

capacity. Project charters are updated to include project description, location, summary of need,
justification including any legislative or policy citations, cost estimates, and project scores.
Fiscal year 2024-25 appropriations
The CIP is organized by the following project categories:
The five-year CIP budget is based on project phase for Strategic Plan and Critical Need projects. This
means rather than budgeting for the entire cost of a project well in advance of when the project is
scheduled to begin, the City Council will be asked to consider appropriating money phase by phase.
Phases include scoping (which includes feasibility studies and needs assessment), conceptual design
(which includes environmental permitting and up to 30% preliminary engineering/design
completion), final design (which includes 100% engineering/design completion and final engineer’s
estimate) and construction.
For example, as part of the annual budget process, city staff will request appropriations for a new
project, starting with initial scoping. This typically involves early planning work and a feasibility
analysis. When that work is completed, staff will return to the City Council to request appropriation
for conceptual design. When that is done, staff will return to the City Council to request funding for
final design, and so on.

Once plans and specifications for a project have been prepared, a more accurate engineer’s estimate
for construction costs can be produced that considers the most up-to-date market conditions. By
requesting appropriation of construction funding at the time staff request approval of plans and
specifications and authorization to bid, the city can ensure that the approved project budget will align
with the most accurate and timely cost estimates available. The 15-year forecast will assist the City
Council with making informed decisions regarding the city’s ability to fund current and future
projects.
In the fiscal year 2024-25 CIP, there are approximately 197 continuing and new projects planned over
the next 5 years. The fiscal year 2024-25 CIP outlines $15.6 million in new appropriations to provide
additional funding for the continuation of existing projects as well as funding for 13 new projects.
Projected revenues during the same fiscal year are estimated at $93 million.

This category includes a variety of facilities such as fire stations, libraries and community centers.
Costs include repair, maintenance and replacement of civic buildings and other operational facilities.
(Note: due to changes in estimated construction dates for the Orion Center project the net
expenditures for this category in fiscal year 2024-25 are negative.)
Parks
$5.5 million
Projects include improvements and enhancements to existing parks, such as playground resurfacing,
picnic areas and other needs identified by the community and in recently updated parks master
plans.
Drainage
$7 million
The city’s drainage infrastructure plays an important role in handling storm water runoff flows, as
well as maintaining the water quality of the city’s creeks, lagoons and ocean. As the city continues to
age, it is increasingly necessary to balance repairing and replacing the existing lines with enhancing
the current infrastructure to accommodate future needs.
Sewer
$19.5 million
The city’s sewer, or wastewater, projects include numerous pipeline construction and rehabilitation
projects, as well as improvements to the Encina Wastewater Treatment facility. Most new lines are
built and paid for with impact fees collected with new development.
Water and Recycled Water
$793 thousand
Future water and recycled water projects include construction of new pipelines, replacement of
existing waterlines and reservoir improvements. The Carlsbad Municipal Water District has been
producing and delivering recycled water for over 30 years.
Transportation
$7.4 million
People of all ages and abilities want to go places safely and conveniently in Carlsbad, whether they
drive, walk, bike, or ride a bus or train. The city continues to invest in modernizing roads, leveraging
technology to improve traffic systems, and making timely repairs and rehabilitation of the roadways,
bridges, sidewalks and other assets in public rights of way throughout the city.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REVENUES
Over the next 15 years, revenues for capital projects are estimated at $909.5 million and are
segregated into six major funding sources: (1) fees generated by development in the City of Carlsbad,
(2) special district fees and taxes from the community facilities districts and bridge and thoroughfare
benefit districts, (3) water and wastewater replacement funds, (4) infrastructure replacement funds
other than wastewater and water, (5) general capital construction funds, and (6) other sources,
including grants, sales taxes and contributions from other agencies.
Approximately 27.3% of all capital revenue is received as a result of development, including
developer fees and financing districts in the chart above, and is dependent upon assumptions made
about the city's annual growth in dwelling units and commercial and industrial square feet. These
revenues include Public Facilities Fees, Traffic Impact Fees, Park-In-Lieu Fees, Planned Local Drainage
Fees, water connection fees, sewer connection charges, and community facilities districts and bridge
and thoroughfare benefit districts fees.
Water and wastewater replacement revenues generated by user fees equal approximately 31.6% of
total revenues and are used to pay for replacement of existing water and sewer facilities.
Infrastructure Replacement and General Capital Construction revenues, equal to 19.7%, are transfers
from the city’s General Fund, which are being set aside to pay for replacement of major capital
facilities other than wastewater and water facilities and the construction of various municipal
projects. The remaining 21.5% consists of revenues from other agencies and include federal and state
grants, the county sales tax program TransNet, gas taxes, and contributions or reimbursements from
cities, developers, and other agencies.

FUTURE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
As shown on the graph on the previous page, there are a variety of revenues that are used to fund
the capital projects. In order to estimate revenues to be received from development, several
assumptions about the rate and type of future development are made. These assumptions can
change from year to year and tend to correlate with the current economic climate.
Every year, city staff evaluates all existing and future private development projects and compares this
information to the capacity of the city using the most current adopted general plans. Information
about existing development activity combined with estimates of how remaining net developable land
might develop is then summarized to prepare future projections about when and where residential
and non-residential development may occur. The following table shows the number of residential
units and non-residential square feet of development that was used in calculating estimated
revenues for fiscal year 2024-25 and subsequent years to build out.
Projected Future Development
Financial forecasting schedules are prepared to ensure that funding will be sufficient and available for
construction of capital projects as planned in the CIP. In addition to evaluating whether or not capital
funds are sufficient, significant operating cost impacts and availability of staff resources are also
considered in evaluating the timing of projects. Where funding discrepancies occur, alternative
financing methods and project timing are evaluated, and recommendations are made to resolve the
discrepancies.
Conservatively, about 6,044 residential units are anticipated for future development, and it is
currently estimated that the city is more than 90% built out. Residential development for fiscal year
2024-25 is projected at 267 units, and, over the next five years, should average 432 units per year.
The amount of non-residential development is projected at about 268,000 square feet over the next
five years.
Projects include several multi-family residential developments, commercial industrial, office and
other mixed-use projects. Development estimates provide data for estimating future fee revenues,
which are calculated by multiplying each applicable development fee by the estimated number of
dwelling units and/or square feet of construction expected during each year.

FUTURE PROJECTS
Long-range planning and responsible asset management play key roles in the development of future
capital projects. Using data from various infrastructure master plans, ongoing asset condition
assessments, technical modelling, field inspections as well as community feedback, the information
provided for future years reflects the most comprehensive snapshot of known or anticipated future
projects as well as associated estimated costs. Future costs for projects forecast in fiscal year 2029-30
to fiscal year 2038-39 are estimated at approximately $538 million.

CALCULATION OF FUTURE FEES
The revenue projections in the CIP reflect the growth assumptions identified in the previous section.
The following information delineates how those assumptions were applied to estimate future
development revenues. The mix of future multi-family and single-family residential units is assumed
to be 90% and 10%, respectively, and reflects the anticipated mix of residential development for each
Local Facilities Management Zone.
To calculate estimated revenues for Traffic Impact Fees, the number of average daily trips was
computed for each type of development use. An attached multi-family residential dwelling unit is
assigned eight trips and a detached single-family unit is assigned 10 trips per day. The trips-per-day
value for commercial and industrial buildings are 40 and eight trips per 1,000 square feet of
development, respectively, although the actual volume of trips generated by commercial and
industrial buildings can vary widely depending on the ultimate land use.
CFD No. 1 is a citywide district established to finance various civic facilities required under the city’s
Growth Management Plan. Park-in-Lieu Fees are collected for the purchase and development of
parkland within each quadrant of the city, and the fees are based on the acquisition cost of parkland.
Projects in the CIP funded with Park-in-Lieu Fees include future park site acquisition, development
and restoration.
UNFUNDED PROJECTS
The CIP includes several projects for which there is no identifiable funding source for future
construction and, in some cases, where only partial funding has been identified. The city will
investigate obtaining possible external funding, such as federal and state grants, loans, or other
financing sources. Once funding is identified for these projects, the project costs will be reviewed and
updated to reflect actual cost estimates. Projects on this list are part of the City Council’s Five Year
Strategic Plan or were identified by Council direction. Two projects are partially funded by the Traffic
Impact Fee program. The program was planned to generate enough revenue to pay for 20% of the
total costs of these projects, leaving the remaining 80% unfunded.
