CITY OF SANTA ANA
20 Civic Center Plaza . P.O. Box 1988
Santa Ana, Callfomia 92702
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:
We are pleased to submit the two -year budget for the City of Santa Ana for the 2013.2014 and 2014-
2015 fiscal years. The recommended budget continues the path to fiscal sustainability as a result of
the collaborative effort among the City Council, City Management and various bargaining groups that
occurred over the past several years. These efforts resulted in $11.4M in bargaining group concessions
(of which $7.4 million were deferrals) and the outsourcing of the Fire Department to the Orange
County Fire Authority. The two -year budget maintains the continued commitment of the adopted
fiscal policy that requires that ongoing revenues meet ongoing expenditures and that the City
continues to build on its established reserve level.
The recommended budget still reflects the effects of the worst recession this country has seen since
the days of the Great Depression, the continued struggle with State as it relates to the elimination of
Redevelopment Agencies, and a retirement system whose limitations will be at the detriment of
government agencies through higher pension costs. As such, the City still faces challenges in the
coming years given the moderate economic growth forecasted for the general economy. The budget is
fragile at best and makes the next two years critical in maintaining a sound financial footing as the City
embarks on a strategic planning process to identify critical community priorities as well as operational
efficiencies and needs.

The City was tremendously impacted by the worst recession in American history which began in
December of 2007. The resulting effect was significant declines in the City's revenue tax base. The City
of Santa Ana experienced a structural loss of $18.2 million or 14 % of its major General Fund revenues
that included Sales Tax, Property Tax, and Utility Users Tax. As a result, the City's total General Fund
budget dropped from $243.1 million to $196,5 million in three years. To balance the budget the City
Council stood firm and made many difficult decisions that included outsourcing services such as
graffiti, park maintenance, janitorial, street sweeping and most significantly the Fire Department. It
merged Parks and Recreation with the Library, eliminated almost 500 positions, and depleted General
Fund reserves to almost $3 million. Even with all these difficult choices the City sought the
cooperation of the various bargaining groups who joined in assisting the City by negotiating both
structural and deferred concessions totaling $11.4M.

California —A Continued Take
After grappling with its own budget challenges for over a decade, often on the backs of local
government, the State of California has finally achieved a balanced budget for FY 13 -14 that includes a
$1.1 billion reserve. However, local governments still have felt the hands of the State as it took the last
piece ($1.2 million) of the Vehicle License Fee in 2012. In addition, cities continue to feel the effects of
the dissolution of the redevelopment agencies. The State used the dissolution of redevelopment
agencies as a means to balance its budget. Originally the State had assumed savings of $2.1 billion for
FY 2012 -13 and $1.1 billion for FY 13 -14 but these numbers appear to be one -third of what the State
had originally estimated. The City has maintained its battle with the State in terms of defining
enforceable obligations and has succeeded on many fronts. With the State defining the total amounts
to be disbursed to local taxing agencies as $33,174,377 for Housing Set -Aside assets and $21,760,018
for Non- Housing Assets, the City has only disbursed $10,644,759 and continues to meet its obligations
in terms of debt payments and affordable Housing projects.
One unfortunate consequence of the elimination of redevelopment is that local cities have lost the
funding and ability to provide an appropriate level of economic development for their community.
Cities will now need to redefine economic development and look for creative alternatives to fund
these activities that were previously funded through redevelopment tax increment. As cities grapple
with this new reality, the State has now shifted its focus to eliminating or reforming enterprise zones.
In its quest to "save" anther $750 million for the State budget, the elimination or reform of enterprise
zones will certainly remove another leg of a development tool used to boost businesses and create
jobs. The City Enterprise Zone budget is $393,500. In fiscal year 2011 -12 the enterprise zone issued
3,488 hiring tax credit vouchers to 434 businesses.
Rising to the Challenge
The City of Santa Ana leadership has taken many important steps in responding to its own budget
challenges. Three major decisions by the City Council provided the foundation for ensuring that the
City moved to financial stability. These were the outsourcing of the Fire Department to OCFA,
collaboration with labor that resulted in $11.4 million in concessions, and the adoption of a fiscal
policy that ensures a true balanced budget and commitment to reserves.
As the City approached the fiscal year 13 -14 budget, it was essential that the City develop a long- term
forecast that would enable policymakers to gage any decisions made in terms of savings as well as
costs. As such, City staff worked with a consultant in developing a comprehensive interactive model
that would allow for the application of various assumptions to a ten year Budget forecast.
As a result of the forecast, the City identified 12 major budgetary assumptions in order to maintain a
balanced budget over a two year period. In addition, City Council supported 11 budget - related
policies which establish the framework for tasks and direction over the 2 -year 2013 -15 budget. These
assumptions are outlined below:
Budget Assumptions:
1. Departments to reorganize structure based on what City can afford
2. Implements the expiration of the compensated deferrals (approximately $7.4M)
3. No new programs or services
4. Continues to evaluate public safety costs
5. No new increases in negotiated compensation
6. Increases in Ca1PERS and medical costs are included
7. Copped costs for services and supplies
8. No additional general fund contributions to CIP
9. Honors Council approved Fiscal Policy
10. Assumes moderate growth in revenue sources
11. Returns former redevelopment Property Tax to General Fund
12. Risks to significant revenues identified but not included
City Council Budget - Related Policies:
1. Adoption of a 2 -year budget
2. Provided labor strategy authority
3. Supported restructuring of departments' organizations and services provided based on the
dollars available
4. Supported review of Police Dept. operations to identify financial savings
5. Continued support of Fiscal Policy & appropriate reserves
6. Supported appropriating Property Tax from former RDA
7. Supported the preparation of assessment studies for CIP infrastructure needs, deferred
maintenance issues and planning needs
8. Modernizing the UUT
9. Supported studying the reduction of the water transfer
10. Provided direction on budget outreach and communication
11. Supported the development of strategic plan
The ultimate effect of these assumptions and direction from City Council is a two -year balanced
budget with the primary fiscal objective of establishing a foundation and base -line to build upon
future budgets as well as community and organizational needs. The budget continues established
strategies to move the City into long -term financial stability while maintaining core programs and
services to the extent possible. To ensure transparency and community involvement, a total of ten
public meetings will have been held by the second council meeting in June. These meetings provided
the public the opportunity to learn about the budget process and provided a vehicle for residents to
ask questions and express their opinions concerning community priorities.
In addition, the organization has outlined key strategies for the coming two years. The primary is the
completion of a five -year strategic plan. Additionally, in FY 2013 -14, the City will embark on a strategic
visioning process that will define community needs and organizational direction in terms of services
and resources. The cycle will begin upon conclusion of the budget process and will include strategic
planning meetings with the City Council and community, and considered further at the Council
Committee level.
Fragile Two -year Budget
The forecast places the City's budget position as fragile at best. Bad decisions can impact the City's
current balanced position and may aggravate the City's budget position upon conclusion of the two
year budget cycle. With a national economy that at times appears to be growing, as reflected by an
improved housing market and gains in employment, the economy could easily hit a bump in the road
such as the 0.2 percent reduction in consumer spending (April 2013) which is the lowest rating since
May of 2012. This has resulted in some economists reducing their growth forecasts and the Federal
Chairman paying close attention in case it needs to respond to a slowing economy.
At the local level Chapman University projects only a 2.1 percent growth in the gross domestic product
for calendar year 2013. Although Orange County housing is starting to show some strength with home
values expected to rise 6.8 percent, home values are still well below pre - recessionary levels. Overall,
there is still expressed concern over the budget and fiscal policy coming out of Sacramento,
Washington, and especially the continued slow growth in Europe and a potential severe downturn in
China.
As such, the forecast for the City assumes moderate revenue growth. It captures the realities of a
CALPERS system that also experienced tremendous losses in its portfolio that will result in increases to
the City's retirement cost of almost $7.8 million or over 50% in the next three years. These factors are
captured in the recommended budget. In addition, rates are projected to increase by at least 100% by
fiscal year 2019 -20.
The proposed Citywide budget for fiscal year 2013 -14 is $428,431,328 and $390,913,585 for fiscal
year 2014 -15 and incorporates all funded appropriations related to the General Fund, Internal Service,
Enterprise, Special, Capital Improvement Program and Community Development Funds. When
compared to the prior year, the Citywide budget has increased approximately 4.5% (or $18.5M),
primarily due to the increased Capital Improvement Program funding and higher General Fund
spending tied to the end of the negotiated deferrals and costs associated with updating the general
plan and zoning ordinance.
The General Fund budget supports those functions most commonly associated with city government:
police, fire, recreation, library, planning and building, street maintenance, and general city
administration. The City has grown tremendously over the last 20 years along with the services
required. According to the State Department of Finance, Santa Ana's population in January 2013 was
329,915 which is over a 50 percent increase over the past 20+ years. For fiscal year 2013 -14, the
General Fund budget is $205.71M and $204.5 for fiscal year 2014 -15. Public safety continues to receive
the highest allocation making up over 70% (or $144M when excluding debt service) of the 2013 -14
General Fund budget. The General Fund's six largest tax revenues make up over 71 percent of the
overall revenue sources (the equivalent of $146.31M), Those tax revenue sources are Sales Tax
(19.8 %), Property Tax (17.8 %), Property Tax in Lieu of Motor Vehicle Fees (12.6 %), Utility Users Tax
(11.7 %), Business Tax (5.3 %) and Hotel Visitors Tax (3.8 %).
As previously indicated one of the budget assumptions included in the budget model is for the
departments to reorganize structure based on what the City can afford which included eliminating the
backlog of funded and unfunded vacancies. As a result the proposed budget decreases the full -time
employee count by an additional 155 positions for a total workforce allocation of 1049. This brings
the total workforce reductions over the past 6 -years to approximately 736 (over 41 %). This workforce
figure equates to a ratio of 3.17 employees per 1,000 residents. In FY 1986 -87, the ratio was 7.5
employees per 1,000 residents. The City has always been recognized as being one of the most
efficient at providing services when compared to the 11 largest cities in California and the 100 largest
cities in the country. However, the recent reductions does prompt certain challenges and must be
viewed as an opportunity to identify different delivery systems that can be more efficient or as a
means to utilize technology to effectively increase the productivity of employees.
Moving forward
As the City moves forward, it has identified some key organizational strategies for the next couple of
years. Primary will be the updating of the City's General Plan and Zoning Code and addressing a new
Economic Development strategy. In addition, it will develop a capital and deferred maintenance needs
assessment which would provide plans for City facilities including police and fire buildings, sidewalks
as well as water and sewer plans, a park CIP, and general deferred maintenance. The City will also
develop an Information Services Strategic Plan as well as study and identify organizational cost saving
opportunities such as the review of the jail operations which is currently being conducted by the City
Manager's Office in conjunction with the Police Department.
The City has faced some incredible challenges over the past several years. The balanced budget
remains vulnerable to an economy that is still not predictable. There are decisions still being made at
the State and Federal level that may impact the City's budget. Decisions made at the negotiation table
with our bargaining units can easily create an unbalanced budget. Additionally, revenues will need
time to gain what was lost as a result of the recession. The pressure to limit costs will be tremendous,
given the increasing needs of the CALPERS system to remain solvent and the requests from the labor
force seeking to gain back what it had sacrificed.
This two -year balanced budget reflects a tremendous amount of work by staff and a resilience and
fortitude of a City Council that is committed to ensuring the City's financial stability. I would like to
thank the Budget Team, members of the Executive Management Team and their staffs for all the
efforts in prod ' g this 2 -year 2013 -15 budget.

FINANCE & MANAGEMENT SERVICES
1) Credit Card Processing Fee (fee waived by Council through June 2013)
Existing Fee (waived): Per transaction $3.60
Proposed Fee: Extend waiver through June, 2014
Payment processing fee on credit card and ACH payments has historically offset
merchant service processing cost. The Treasury Division has been making payment of
services available through on -line options. Application of credit card /ACH payment
processing costs has drawn the public to City Hall to make routine payment(s). The
need to shift walk -in payment to alternative payment methods has been needed due to
reduced City Hall hours and staffing. For this reason, staff recommended and Council
approved the waiver of the payment processing fee effective March, 2012. Statistics
have been gathered to since the waiver was granted, with positive results. Staff
recommends the extension of the credit card processing fee waiver through June, 2014.

$ 20.00
$ 40.00
Qualified businesses within the designated State Enterprise Zone in the City may apply
for Hiring Tax Credit vouchers for qualified employees hired within the zone. Each
voucher issued has the potential of generating over $37,000 in CA Tax Credits for the
employer. The application fee includes a $15.00 processing fee assessed by the State
Department of Housing and Community Development. A retro- voucher is any
application that is 12 months past the employee hire date, and requires additional
verification. The fee increase is to try to achieve full cost - recovery for the anticipated
increases in the cost of staffing, operations, and marketing of the program, as agreed
upon in the Memorandum of Understanding with the State.
The Community Development Agency estimates that it collects $285,000 total per year
for all processing fees. An estimated $26,400 from the application fee increase and
