MEMORANDUM
It is therefore appropriate to ask two questions. The first is: “What is ‘normal’ for the City
of Santa Cruz?” The second is: “What does the answer to the first question mean for the
City’s future?”
The answer to the question, “What is normal for the City?” is clear. In most years, the City’s
tax receipts will grow very modestly. More often than not, the City’s tax receipts will grow
at about the rate of inflation, give or take a little. The last time we experienced noteworthy
growth above the inflation rate was when the Gateway Plaza came on line; prior to that it was
when Costco came to the City. As these examples make clear, we do not experience
noteworthy real growth very often.
This may not sound like such a bad thing for the City. How difficult could it be to hold
expenditure increases to the rate of inflation over the long term? The answer turns out to be
that it is impossible to hold the City’s spending increases to the rate of inflation without
cutting services at the same time. Economic reality dictates that no institution can keep
doing the same things year after year and hold overall spending increases to the rate of
inflation.
There are many reasons why City spending always has outpaced and always will outpace
inflation, including the following: 1) the total cost of compensation for most cities, and most
employers, increases at a rate that exceeds the rate of inflation over the long term. 1
This reflects real growth in the larger economy over time; 2) the cost of health benefits
continues to increase by much more than the rate of inflation; 3) it is widely anticipated that
the cost of fuel and energy will continue to increase by more than the rate of inflation, and
many of the City’s services are fuel-intensive; 4) workers’ compensation and retiree health
care benefits represent additional financial challenges that will require funding above the rate
1
That does not mean that most employees in the workforce enjoy raises that exceed the rate of inflation; that
has not been the case in recent years.
SUBJECT: PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008
PAGE 2
of inflation; 5) the City still processes its land use applications, parking fines, and a host of
other activities on its antiquated HP 3000 mainframe computer. We have no choice but to
transfer these activities to a modern environment and to expand our Information Technology
staff to accomplish this; 6) there is a long list of things that fall in the same category as Item
(5) above; 7) the City engages in construction activities of all kinds, and will always be
engaged in those activities. Construction costs are increasing at triple the rate of inflation or
more, and are expected to continue to do so; and 8) in making cuts over the past seven years,
the City cut or postponed any number of expenditures that cannot be forever dispensed with.
Even absent the above pressures, we also want more of almost everything. That is, we want
real spending to increase. We want (and need) a larger Police Department, one that has the
resources to dedicate special patrols to the downtown and the beach area and to address street
crime, gangs, and other situations. We want a Fire Department that will continue to provide
paramedic as well as fire suppression and safety services in the face of increasing demands.
We want our streets to be passable, our streetlights to be on, and our storm drains to flow.
We want lifeguards on the beach. We want our extensive parks system to be well-
maintained. We want our 2,500 acres of greenbelt to be protected. We want the Louden
Nelson Community Center, Civic Auditorium, Harvey West Pool, Teen Center, Beach Flats
Community Center, and other facilities to be open. We want not only to continue, but to
expand, our support of social services. This list goes on and on.
These spending pressures are not unique to the City of Santa Cruz. How do other cities
expect to address them? The answer is that most cities plan for, and expect to experience,
real growth, rather than just nominal or inflationary growth.
It is easy for growing cities to experience real economic gains; it is more challenging for
cities that are “built-out.” Recognizing that it is harder to sustain a built-out city than a
growing city, most built-out cities still plan for and expect to achieve real economic growth,
as new economic activities replace older activities, and as new developments replace older
developments. Witness San Francisco’s breathtakingly ambitious plans; San Francisco may
be built-out, but it is planning to be re-built. The same kind of planning is being done almost
everywhere. Other cities may or may not achieve what they seek, but the fact is that most
seek to achieve real economic growth.
Santa Cruz is an exception to this generalization. The dominant theme for Santa Cruz is the
desire to maintain the positive attributes the City has long enjoyed. The City does not, by
and large, desire to cultivate real economic growth and vitality. That is a legitimate choice,
so long as the financial consequences of such an approach are recognized and dealt with. It
has, after all, been the City’s choice for a long time.
Translated into “budget-speak,” the City’s historic planning goals translate into a revenue
goal, albeit an unacknowledged one: for tax revenues to increase at about the rate of
inflation, reflective of maintaining existing conditions in the City. The City’s budget
dilemma is that real economic growth is required to keep doing the things that the City
government does, but the City’s built environment, in the absence of continuous rebuilding,
remodeling, and re-use, will produce nominal growth instead.
Suppose for the sake of contemplation that participants in a graduate city planning seminar
were assigned the task of proposing services for a city whose highest value was the
SUBJECT: PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008
PAGE 3
preservation of its existing environment. That is, the city being contemplated desired, as its
highest value, to avoid the activity, congestion, pollution, and other conditions that result
from more intensive economic activity. What would be said about the services that city
should undertake? The answer is clear: that city should take a minimalist approach to city
services. That city should do what is essential, but avoid doing what is optional. That city
should not have an extensive list of city services.
If a group of savvy local government professionals were shown only the amenities provided
by the City of Santa Cruz and asked to describe the City’s tax base, they would say, “This
City provides wonderful services. It must be a very well-off city indeed.” They would be
shocked to find that it is not so.
Our City is not going to compromise either its determination to maintain its present economic
environment or its support for the amenities it values. Instead, the City will struggle to make
ends meet. We are like a family that has acquired its dream house and is planning its dream
vacation, but whose breadwinners are committed to working part-time; each is a fine choice,
but they do not fit together very well.
The hard-working citizens preparing the City’s next General Plan are coming to grips with
this issue. They cannot solve it. But the language being proposed at this time recognizes two
important points. The first point is that the well-being of the larger economy and the
financial well-being of the City itself are two different things. The larger economy will
perform reasonably well, because it is broad; the City’s tax base will not perform as well,
because it is narrow. The second point is that in the absence of real growth in tax receipts
over the years, the City government will continue to experience financial distress.
For better or worse, there are two keys to the prosperity of cities in California. They are
retail sales and hotels. These revenue sources are critical for two reasons. First, they have
the potential to grow more quickly than inflation. Second, they are relatively independent of
demands for municipal services. As the other sources of municipal revenues grow, so do
demands for municipal expenditures. That is why other sources of revenue are considerably
less attractive, from the city hall point of view, than sales and hotel taxes.
There is good reason for the fierce competition that is waged among cities to attract sales tax
and hotel tax generators. The winners will achieve real economic growth of their tax base,
which will enable them to pay for the things they want. Jurisdictions that do not obtain sales
and hotel tax winnings will not achieve real economic growth of their tax base, and will
struggle to meet their growing expenditure obligations. This is the way things are in
California. It is the way things have been for a long time. There is no sign that they will
ever be any other way.
them by some reasonable differential. This is not a matter of values or theory; it is simply a
matter of practical reality.
Despite trailing “over-the-hill” jurisdictions, historically the City has compared favorably
with other government employers in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. Now even that is
starting to change, as jurisdictions in our region individually address their own compensation
challenges. For example, the County of Santa Cruz has made a commitment to pay its
highest-ranking managerial and professional employees at a rate that is 95% of an eight-
county average, which includes Santa Clara County. Santa Cruz County will accomplish this
over an eighteen-month period. It remains to be seen how the County will address
compensation issues for the remainder of its workforce. The City of Monterey has approved
a package much like Santa Cruz County’s for its management and professional employees,
and has also granted large increases to law enforcement. As a result, instead of being
roughly comparable with the County of Santa Cruz and the City of Monterey, as has long
been the case, the City of Santa Cruz will trail those jurisdictions for many managerial and
professional positions, often by very substantial amounts. Nor are those the only positions
where this situation applies; such positions can be found throughout the workforce.
Moreover, even comparatively rich cities are experiencing difficulty recruiting for a wide
range of positions, especially managerial, professional, and technical, highly skilled
employees. The City of San Jose has announced that it must increase compensation of
selected positions despite the fact that its revenues will not grow at a pace to cover the cost.
It is tempting to think that there is a new economic reality out there. But it is not so. What
has happened is that many jurisdictions have witnessed but not responded to the labor market
over the past seven years. These cities, Santa Cruz among them, had more than they could
cope with already. They were in no position over the past seven years to make modest,
regular adjustments. On the other hand, cities and other employers that could afford to do so
did make a series of smaller adjustments over the past seven years, and remain in a strong
position. Those who could not and did not keep up are now facing a serious problem.
The labor market in law enforcement is an excellent example of what is now happening in
other areas, too. Over the past twenty-five years, the City has hired every single police
officer candidate who met the City’s standards and agreed to come to work here. If ten or
twenty such people had appeared at one time, we would have immediately gone to the City
Council and proposed to hire them all, knowing that the Police Department would not be
over-staffed for long. It has never happened. Under these circumstances, the City of Santa
Cruz is obliged to pay what the labor market dictates, not what the tax base can support. 2
The same is true for police sergeants, lieutenants, deputy chiefs, and the police chief.
Fortunately, the City meets with a high degree of success in attracting candidates for most of
its jobs, especially those that are more reflective of local economic conditions and less
reflective of what happens elsewhere. For other positions, the City of Santa Cruz must
compete in the larger labor market for people with skills that are in high demand. Such
positions include numerous technical specialties throughout the workforce, as well as
accountants, engineers, planners, and others. Many departments report that they are having
more difficulty than ever before finding qualified applicants.
2
It is estimated that there are between 12,000 and 15,000 police officer vacancies in California.

The cost of benefits is also a serious matter. Health care costs routinely increase by much
more than the rate of inflation. Pension costs continue to be a burden. The City’s share of
retirement for police and fire employees is 35% and 39.7% of salary, respectively. In
addition to those employer contributions, police and fire employees contribute an additional
9% of salary, making the total cost of retirement 44% of salary for police and 48.7% of
salary for fire. As police and fire salaries increase, as they inevitably will, the cost of
retirement benefits will increase proportionately. These costs are, and will continue to be,
staggering.
The total cost of retirement for non-public safety employees, who are referred to by the
CalPERS retirement system as “miscellaneous employees,” is less than half that for public
safety employees, but still far from inexpensive. The City’s share of that cost, however, is
dramatically less. The major issue for miscellaneous employees has to do with the share paid
by the City and the share paid by employees. When the current plan was established in July
of 1997, employee bargaining units agreed that employees would bear the cost of the
program for ten years. That period has now passed, and the issue is open for discussion.
The total cost of retirement for miscellaneous employees is 20% of payroll. Pursuant to the
1997 agreement, employees are paying about two-thirds of that cost while the City pays the
remaining third. The cost of retirement for non-public safety employees, then, could well
become but is not yet a significant problem for the City.
Retirement reform seems to have stalled in Sacramento. Those who advocate maintaining
defined benefit pensions for the long term, but at reduced levels of cost and benefits, have
met with little success. Those who want to end defined benefit pensions altogether are biding
their time, or so it seems; they have certainly not withdrawn. Those who desire to protect the
current level of benefits continue to be in a controlling position.
Many local governments are improving retirement benefits despite the costs, the cities of
Scotts Valley and Capitola among them. On the other hand, a handful of local governments
have established two-tiered retirement systems, with reduced benefits for new employees, but
they are in a very small minority. Ultimately, that would seem to be the most likely means of
reform, probably on a mandated basis from Sacramento. In any event, cost relief does not
appear to be on the way.
The cost of retiree health care benefits will be as problematic for many public agencies as the
cost of pensions. The City of Santa Cruz will be better off than most in this regard, as the
City has not made the kinds of promises so many others have. An updated actuarial estimate
of the obligations the City does have will be produced in the course of the next year. It is a
serious issue, and the cost will not be small, but it will be a manageable number in
comparison with the other issues noted above.
In sum, the City’s compensation dilemma is that, if history is any guide at all, the City’s
revenues are not going to grow at a pace sufficient to keep up with the labor market of which
the City is a part. This means that, from time to time, the City will need to reduce the
number of people it employs, which means reducing the services it provides.
Most organizations, the City among them, can benefit from budget pressures. Budget
pressures force organizations to address inefficient practices and focus on performance and
SUBJECT: PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008
PAGE 6
results. It is often beneficial to re-think, re-organize, and re-prioritize. On the other hand,
organizations have minimum requirements reflective of legal mandates, round-the-clock
operations, physical plant and equipment, and other exigencies. At this point, having
experienced a five-year period of making reductions, there are many more places where the
City needs to employ more people and spend more money than there are opportunities for
further cuts. The consequences of being understaffed are evident in many places, from police
to building maintenance to parks. A complete list of services that are inadequately staffed
would be lengthy.
While long-term realities are clear, we are happy to report that it is not necessary to make
cuts this year. Our difficulty in hiring has produced short-term budget savings this year, as it
did last year and the year before. We are also seeing tax receipts grow modestly, which is a
good thing and a nice departure from recent experience. As we succeed in hiring the people
we need, especially in the Police Department, the one-time savings that the City has realized
will diminish and the budget situation that we have defined above and have come to know so
well will again apply.
Those of us who help shape the City’s organizational structure are constantly asking
ourselves how we could function with fewer employees. When we can get by with
vacancies, we do so. When temporary employment will suffice, we take that approach. The
fact of the matter is that the City needs full-time employees to do most of the things the City
does. We constantly face problems that we must attend to, and the attending requires people
and money.
In sum, the City has never before experienced on such a broad scale the compensation
challenges it now faces. There have always been a few positions that required special
attention, and there will always be a few. The number of positions that now require special
attention is at an all-time high. The actions being taken by other agencies show that the City
of Santa Cruz is not alone in facing this situation. This is certain to be one of the most
important and most difficult issues the City Council will be called on to address in the next
period of time.
The City’s General Fund budget for Fiscal Year 2008 would be only slightly in deficit—that
is, forecast spending would exceed forecast revenues by $500,000 to $1,000,000—if there
were no pay increases for City employees. As discussed above, that is not a possibility.
Instead, the City will, because it must, address its compensation issues. Not incidentally, five
bargaining unit agreements will be up for renegotiation in Fiscal Year 2008: the mid-
management/professional employees’ unit, the supervisors’ unit, SEIU, police, and police
management. Fire and fire management follow in July of 2008, so the City will bargain with
all seven bargaining units during the next fiscal year.
SUBJECT: PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008
PAGE 7
Inevitably then, the forecast deficit for next year will become substantially larger than
$1,000,000. At some point in Fiscal Year 2008—we cannot predict exactly when the turn
will take place—the City will cease adding to and begin to draw down its General Fund
balance. We hope that the turn will come later rather than sooner and given our recent
experience, that may be. It will be reasonable to have some draw-down, given the budget
savings of the past three years. But in three years or so the City can expect that it will, once
again, have to balance revenues and spending in the General Fund. It is not a pleasant
prospect. Rather than make extensive cuts at one time, we will want to anticipate where we
are heading, and try to engineer a “soft landing,” if possible.
First, several cities that levy a 9-1-1 fee to support the cost of emergency dispatch services
have had that fee challenged. Should the 9-1-1 fee be declared to be a tax, every jurisdiction
that has such a fee would have to eliminate it or place it before the voters.
Second, the application of utility users’ taxes to long-distance and other telephone services is
also under challenge in the courts. Moreover, Congress has taken up numerous bills that
would eliminate or limit such taxes. The City of Santa Cruz collects about $1.5 million from
its 9-1-1 fee and about $3 million from the application of utility users’ tax to telephone
services. Santa Cruz will not be alone if judicial outcomes are adverse, but remedies would
have to be found.
On the positive side from a financial point of view, the City’s supremely wonderful location
guarantees that there will always be parties ready to undertake one economic development
project or another. Most cities want to be rich, but lack any way of reaching that goal. The
City of Santa Cruz will never lack for possibilities. Santa Cruz’ challenge is to find
economic development projects that work for both applicants and the City.
As noted, retail sales and hotel stays are the revenue cream for local government. The
development of new motel rooms along Ocean Street, already underway, will contribute to
the City’s tax base, but not nearly as much as a quality hotel would do. The proposal for the
La Bahia has the potential to provide an excellent boost in tax revenues if it proves to be a
project the community wants. The new owners of the West Coast Hotel are contemplating
what to do in the long term. In the short term they are making interior modifications that
may increase the economic contribution the property makes to the City.
The interest in the sale of the Sentinel property is encouraging in terms of the value
prospective owners place in downtown property. The potential for retail sales or even hotel
use on the property remains to be seen. Clearly downtown property is at a premium, even
given the uncertainties in the broader real estate market. Investors believe the City’s future
will be good for them. That is a hopeful sign.
SUBJECT: PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008
PAGE 8
One could argue that the City of Santa Cruz has skipped a generation of development. It is
quite possible that this approach, while it has made for tough times for the City’s budget, has
preserved opportunities for the future that would not otherwise have been preserved. Perhaps
the next generation of opportunities will be more compatible with Santa Cruz values than the
last one. Perhaps one or more retailers of stature will want to locate in the Harvey West area,
which would not produce the impacts that so often cause projects to be rejected. Perhaps
new opportunities for the visitor sector will emerge that will enable the City to capitalize on
its superb location in an acceptable manner. Perhaps the rebuilding of the downtown will be
followed by the rebuilding of other commercial centers, to the City’s economic advantage.
There are lots of cities in this world that would do anything to improve their economic
circumstances. Santa Cruz is not among them. Santa Cruz will continue to be highly
selective. In the long run, perhaps that will work out just fine. From our current vantage
point, it is hard to see how that might be. A small number of significant economic gains
could make a huge difference.
The City Council, sitting as the Redevelopment Agency, has renamed it the Department of
Economic Development and Redevelopment and added an economic development manager
position to its staff. The Council recognizes, and has long recognized, that the City needs to
supplement its tax base. The Council is doing its best to prepare for the long-term economic
future. From an economic point of view, the City’s foremost challenge is to add a small
number of significant economic gains to the picture.
Because the backlog of needed repairs is about $42 million, not every street can be attended
to. A second plan will be needed four years hence to address the remaining streets. But huge
progress will be made, and the City’s streets will be in much better overall condition than
they are today. At this writing we are still working on a borrowing plan that will enable us to
make the best use of funds for the City’s streets.
Police
The passage of Measure H has enabled the Police Department to create a Parks Unit.
Working together, the Police and Parks and Recreation Departments are dedicating a team of
police officers, community service officers, and park rangers to improving conditions in the
City’s parks and open spaces.
The Police Department has also established a Street Crimes Unit, which is a highly mobile
team focused on narcotics and gang issues. The Police Department is also utilizing overtime,
in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies, to address gang issues. Despite those
countywide efforts, there is a need to dedicate considerably more attention to the gang
problem.
SUBJECT: PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008
PAGE 9
We hope to reduce the number of vacancies in the Police Department over the coming year.
Much depends on being able to do this. Unfortunately, accomplishing this goal will also
have the effect of reducing the City’s budget savings.
Fire
The Fire Department has assumed management responsibility for the City’s Marine Rescue
and Beach Lifeguard programs. The programs will be supervised by a fire captain. This
reorganization places water-oriented emergency responses and citywide fire and emergency
medical responses in the same department, which we believe will serve the public well. The
Marine Rescue and Beach Lifeguard programs had historically been managed by the Parks
and Recreation Department, which set the bar very high. The new approach is the product of
an enthusiastic and cooperative effort between the Fire and Parks and Recreation
Departments.
A deputy fire marshal position is being reclassified to fire marshal division chief. Also, a fire
and life safety inspector position is being added to the Fire Prevention Division. These
changes will enable the Fire Department to improve its life safety services to the City’s
businesses. The costs of these measures will be offset by inspection, building permit, and
plan check fees.
Three new facilities opened in 2007, and will be part of the Parks and Recreation
Department’s ongoing maintenance program: the Ken Wormhoudt Skate Park at Mike Fox
Park, the Bicycle Trip Bike Park at the Fun Spot, and the new synthetic turf Bowling Green
at San Lorenzo Park.
After five years of significant cuts, no budget cuts are proposed this year. The Parks and
Recreation Department remains short-staffed after years of cuts, and full restoration will
never be possible. At this writing we are still deliberating about how many of the Parks and
Recreation Department’s vacant positions can be filled on a regular basis.
The next two projects at the Resource Recovery Facility will be the replacement of the north
leachate pond and the design and construction of the next lined cell.
SUBJECT: PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008
PAGE 10
Water
Intensive capital improvements will be underway for the next ten to fifteen years in the
Water Department. The major projects are the replacement of the Bay Street Reservoir and
the development of a desalination plant, but the complete list of projects is long indeed. The
Water Department is requesting an additional assistant engineer and an additional associate
engineer to help manage these projects.
The Water Department’s revenues are performing as expected. Capital projects are being
paid for with a mix of pay-as-you-go and debt financing. This year’s drought conditions will
have a negative impact on revenues, but we do not expect that it will be necessary to utilize
the rate stabilization reserves.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I wish to extend my thanks to Mayor Reilly and the City Council for your
inexhaustible interest in and commitment to the work of the City, and for the seriousness of
purpose you bring to your custodianship of the City’s financial affairs. You have led the City
through some perilous times. The future will no doubt be equally challenging.

Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Fund-241, 242, 243 & 244
This fund was established pursuant to the Quimby Act which authorized the City Council to require
developers of new subdivisions to dedicate land for park development or pay fees in-lieu of park dedication
which are restricted to park or recreational purposes. Fees can only be expended in the same quadrant of the
City in which it was collected.
Parks and Recreation Facilities Tax Fund-245, 246, 247, 248 & 249
Funds 245, 246, 247, & 248 were established to account for special taxes collected on the construction of
new or remodeled residential dwellings, which are designated 50% for greenbelt purposes and 50% for
parks and recreation facilities. Experience has determined that accounting for these special taxes in four
different funds is no longer necessary or efficient. Fund 249 was established to combine these funds into
one separate fund, and funds 245 through 248 will no longer be used.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUND DESCRIPTIONS .
The City uses Internal Service Funds to account for a variety of centralized support services provided to
the direct service operations in the General Fund, other operating funds, and Enterprise Funds. Internal
Service Funds operate on a cost-reimbursement basis and are nothing more than a convenient cost allocation
mechanism to distribute the costs of centralized functions and insurance costs and are solely supported by
contributions from direct service operations.
