MEETING DATE: April 22, 2013 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Mary Furey DIRECTOR: Mary Furey
SUBJECT: Review of the FY 2013/14 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets, the projected Fund
Balance Reserve balances, and Fund Balance Reserve Policy revised language
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Council to review and provide consensus direction to staff on:
1) The final draft proposed FY 2013/14 Operating and Capital Budgets to be brought forth to
Council at the May 15'' Proposed Budget Hearing
2) Projected Fund Balance Status Update
3) Reserve Policy revised language
REPORT SUMMARY:
The Budget Study Session meeting is structured to review the following topics:
❖ Proposed Operating & Capital Budget Financial Summaries
❖ Proposed organizational changes
❖ New capital project recap and two updates
❖ Projected Fund Balance year -end status
❖ Revised Reserve Policy language
Staff is in the process of finalizing the Proposed Operating & Capital Budget for the Budget Hearing on
May 15, 2013. This Budget Study Session is intended to provide an overview of the proposed budget to
familiarize Council with the document's schedules, financial and operational changes, and budgeted
fiscal status. This informal review process provides Council with the opportunity to ask questions,
request clarifications, and provide direction, in preparation for the public hearing.
Additionally, as directed by Council at the Mid -Year Budget Status Update, the Fund Balance Reserve
policy was to be brought back to the Budget Study Session with revised language in the Internal Service
Fund policies. A very quick review will confirm that the language now clearly states fund balances are
to be maintained for working capital purposes, as seen in Attachment 5 on page 12 (in red) and
throughout the individual funds on pages 12 -14.
FISCAL IMPACTS:

Capital Project funding incorporates remaining funds not yet received from the prior year, new revenue, grants to be received,
and transfers in. Prior year budgeted funds are shown as beginning fund balance carryforward amounts to which new funding is
added to produce total available funding for project budgets. All available funds are appropriated as expenditures and transfers
out to allow for project encumbrances and completion. As most projects will not be fully expended in a fiscal year, remaining
project balances will carry forward into the next fiscal year.

Fund Balance Reserves reflect the cumulative effect ofrevenues and otherfinancing sources over expenditures and otherfinancing
uses. Restricted Fund Balance represents legal restrictions and obligations; Committed Fund Balance represents Council directed
funding for a specific and binding use; Assigned Fund Balance represents resources that reflects the City's intended use offunds;
whereas Unassigned Fund Balance includes estimated year -end fund balance not previously identified for a specific purpose, and is
therefore available to buffer unplanned financial situations during the fiscal year.
As year -end fund balance reflects an estimate, sound finanical practices suggest retaining a sufficient amount ofundesignated fund
balance to offset unexpected revenue shortfalls and operational expenditures.
These Environmental Reserve accounts forfunding obligated for use in the Environmental program originally collected under the
City's former solid waste agreement.
The Hillside Stability Reserve reflects funding set aside for emergency roadway and retaining wall support projects.

sufficient cash flow funding for the General Fund. The reserve is adjusted at the end ofeach fiscal year by interest earned on the
balance in the reserve at LAIF rates. Council Policy caps the reserve at 20% ofappropriations.

Two of these funds are equipment replacement funds which charge back to
departments the cost of the assets over their lifespan, to ensure replacement funding is available when required, and to charge an appropriate annual cost for
the asset. Replacement Fund balances reflect funding accumulated to date for asset replacement. The remaining Internal Service Funds
provide for the cost
ofservices and insurance in a fair, allocated manner.

for this debt issuance. Currently, the assessment revenues are intentionally set less than expenditures to reduce the Fund Balance to an appropriate debt
level.

Note - FY 2013/14 fund balance (in white) and five years forward reflect the full expenditure of the Capital Budget
in the first year, thereby causing a steep drop and a continued zero balance from that point forward in the graph
above. The full appropriation of the capital project budget is to allow for full encumbrance and completion of the
projects during the fiscal year, however in most cases this will not occur and project balances will roll forward into
the following fiscal year. Future year projections represent a sustainable operating and capital budget with zero
growth in outlaying year's fund balances.

STAFFING INFORMATION
B -27
CITY OF SARATOGA
FINANCIAL SUMMARIES
SUMMARY OF EMPLOYEE SALARY & BENEFITS
To Be Updated
The City of Saratoga's total budgeted salary and benefit expenditures are projected to total $7.3 million dollars in
FY 2012/13, representing approximately 23.3% of total budgeted expenditures. Approximately $6.5 million
(89.0 %) of labor costs are funded in the General Fund and represent 39.2% of General Fund's budgeted
expenditures.
Budgeted salary and benefit amounts reflect a $23,000 decrease from last year's budgeted amount as a result of a
reduction in funded positions offset against increases in salaries and benefits. After the Code Compliance Specialist
position was vacated in FY 2011/12, code compliance duties were shifted to other staff positions. For instance,
Building staff now follow up on complaints and field checks. Administrative functions were absorbed by the
department's office staff, special events by City Manager's staff, parking ticket appeals by Finance staff, and the
DMV compliance program by Human Resources staff. This restructuring was continued into FY 2012/13 as the
assessment of the position is ongoing. Staff changes will also occur in the Recreation and Facilities Department
with a scheduled retirement early in FY 2012/13. A shift in work schedules and duties will provide a .15 FTE
reduction between two Office Specialist positions. A portion of the savings from the FTE reduction will be utilized
in FY2012/13 to increase the Executive Administrative Assistant to the City Manager /Deputy City Clerk position
back to 1.00 FTE from .90 FTE in FY 2011/2012.
For comparison, budgeted FY 2011/12 salaries and benefits amounts were already discounted by approximately
$260,000 (5 %) in anticipation of labor negotiations. Therefore, the additional decrease in salary and benefit
expenditures budgeted this year is primarily from additional staff reductions.
Last year's labor negotiations resulted in a shift of the employee's portion of the California Public Employees'
Retirement System (Ca1PERS) charges paid fully by employees rather than the City. This will result in a savings of
approximately $340,000 for FY 2012/13. Additional savings will accrue from reductions in auto allowance and
uniform allowance, changes in overtime and call -out pay. For new employees hired after July 1, 2011, medical
benefits are limited to fixed dollar amounts ($800 per month for single coverage, $1,200 per month for double
coverage, and $1,500 per month for family coverage). For new employees hired on or after May 12, 2012, a second
tier Ca1PERS retirement package with 2% at 60 will be in effect. The annual savings equals the difference between
the pool- specific rates times the second tier payroll. Although the expected saving from implementing this new tier
will be minimal at first, such savings will slowly increase over time.
Salary and budget projections are prepared using known data on current employees, current MOU provisions, and
California Public Employees' Retirement System (Ca1PERS), medical, dental, vision, long -term disability, and life
insurance premiums. In some years, these projections are known and stable and in others there is more fluctuation,
as in the case of years in which MOUs expire and new MOU provisions are scheduled to be put into place. The City
does not use a vacancy factor for salary projections as there is very little turnover due both to the economic
recession, and to the necessity in most cases to re -fill a position quickly due to the City's limited staffing. Most staff
positions are at top step, and health insurance benefits are budgeted at the employee's current status
(Single /Double /Family) under their chosen health insurance plan to provide accuracy in the total salary and benefit
costs. However, a small contingency is built into budgeted salary numbers to offset some unknowns which may
occur.
Employee Compensation and Benefits
Personnel costs are comprised of salaries for full and part-time personnel, inclusive of holidays and paid time off
and benefits which includes health, life and disability insurances, and retirement contributions.
Annual wage increases and benefit adjustments are negotiated under each bargaining unit's Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) contracts.
B - 28
CITY OF SARATOGA
FINANCIAL SUMMARIES
Memorandums of Understanding
Each of the three bargaining units have an MOU: 1) the Saratoga Management Association for the four Department
Directors; 2) the Northern California Carpenter's Regional Council, Carpenters Forty Six Counties Conference
Board and Their Affiliated Local Unions (UNION) for the fifteen Public Work's Corporation Yard staff, and; 3) the
Saratoga Employees Association (SEA) for all other represented staff, which is the City's largest bargaining group
with 32 full and part-time employees. The City Manager, the Human Resources Manager, and hourly (un- benefited)
staff are not represented by associations. All three bargaining units entered into a four year MOU agreement
effective from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2015. The City Manager has a negotiated contract, and the Human
Resources Manager falls under a negotiated contract for unrepresented staff.
Wages
Salaries are adjusted as defined by the MOUs. Effective July 1, 2012 SMO and SEA negotiated contracts provide
cost of living adjustments based upon the annual average for the 12 month period of January 1 to December 31 of
the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, "All Urban Consumers (CPI -U)" for the San Francisco-
Oakland -San Jose region.. The UNION negotiated contract included an hourly rate increase effective November
14, 2011 and calls for a reopener if Property and Sales Tax revenues increase by more than 3 %, however specific
wage increase adjustments are not stated.
Employee Benefits
The City provides medical, dental, life insurance, and long -term disability insurance to its benefitted employees and
Ca1PERS retirement to eligible employees. Currently, the City self -funds short-term disability coverage for 75% of
wages after an employee's paid time off is exhausted, up until long -term coverage activates at six months.
Employees have the option to enhance their long -term disability and life insurance plans, and to obtain vision care
coverage through a group plan.
The City contracts for health insurance through Ca1PERS, offering employees a choice between Kaiser, Blue Cross,
or Blue Shield medical plans. Although Ca1PERS has substantial negotiating powers, health insurance premiums
continue to increase each year.
For October 1, 2008 through the 2012 calendar year, the City has contracted with Ameritas as its dental insurance
provider. Ameritas increased the City's premium rates by 33.80% in January 2010, 9.30% in January 2011, and 6%
in January 2012. Staff is currently working with the City's broker to lower premium costs through changes in plan
design.
The Principal Life and AD &D Insurance premium increases are a result of demographic changes (age /gender /salary
level are all part of the risk factor analysis). The City's broker negotiated these rates down by 20% effective April,
2011.
Pension Plan
The City of Saratoga's 2% at 55 and 2% at 60 defined benefit plans are part of Ca1PERS "Miscellaneous 2% at 55
Risk Pool" and "Miscellaneous 2% at 60 Risk Pool ", cost sharing multiple - employer defined benefit plans. The
City's payment of Ca1PERS Contribution Rates is comprised of employee and employer contributions. The
Employee Contribution Rate under the 2% at 55 and 2% at 60 benefit plans is constant at 7 %, while the Employer
Contribution Rates are determined each year through an actuarial valuation of the plan. In addition to the above two
pension plans, effective January 1, 2013 the State mandated 2% @62 plan will go into effect for all new Ca1PERS
member employees.
Employer rates are based on Ca1PERS' principle assumptions, including but not limited to an Investment Rate of
Return and an Annual Payroll Growth Rate. Various agency -based factors such as number and age of employees,
increases and decreases in employee FTEs and employee wages, as well as impacts from other agencies in the
benefit plan pool are all contributing factors in the calculation.
B - 29
CITY OF SARATOGA
FINANCIAL SUMMARIES
Since 2003, Ca1PERS has utilized the assumption that the value of its stock, bonds and other holdings would
increase by 7.75% a year, and in fact, Ca1PERS annualized Investment Rate of Return (IRR) was slightly higher
than the 7.75% target until the economic downturn began in 2009. Since then, with returns diminishing heavily,
Ca1PERS has requested the Investment Rate of Return be adjusted. In March 2012, the Ca1PERS Board agreed to a
reduction in the IRR to 7.5 %, to be phased in over two years. This IRR change will increase Miscellaneous
Employer Contribution Rates between 1 -2 %, while most Public Safety Plan's Employer Contribution Rate will
increase by 2 -3 %. The City's rate increases will begin in FY 2013/14.
Even though the economic downturn has impacted investment returns heavily, the "Miscellaneous 2% at 55 Risk
Pool" was able to sustain the plan long -term because the plan design was based on actuarially sound principles.
Other enhanced plans (2.5g_55, 2.7k55 for miscellaneous, and the further enhanced plans such as 3 %@50 or 55 for
Public Safety ) were built based on short term assumptions that were estimated, not realized, and ultimately proved
to be financially unsustainable. Those plans will experience greater PERS rate increases in the coming years.
A five year history of Saratoga's employer contribution rates for the 2 % @55 Risk Pool is provided below, along
with the new PERS employer contribution rate for FY 2012/13, and the projected PERS employer contribution rate
for FY 2013/14. The 2 % @60 Risk Pool Plan (2nd tier) went into effect on May 12, 2012 for new employees.

As shown in the above schedule, the City of Saratoga pension plan Employer Contribution Rate reflects slight
increases for FY 2013/14. The FY 2013/14 rates are Ca1PERS projections from their October 2011 valuation report
which assumes there are no amendments and/or liability gains or losses (such as larger than expected pay increases,
or more retirements than expected). As gains and losses cannot be predicted in advance; the projected FY 2013/14
employer contribution rate is just an estimate. Ca1PERS will provide actual rates for FY 2013/14 for all cities in the
annual valuation reports to be issued in October or November, 2012.

PEMHCA
Section 22892 of the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act ( PEMHCA), establishes contract agencies
minimum monthly health premium contribution for their participating active membership. The employer
contribution is adjusted annually by the board to reflect any changes in the medical care component of the CPI -U.
The minimum employer contribution is $112 for calendar year 2012, and $115 for calendar year 2013. The City
includes this amount in the budget as an ongoing retiree cost, which currently amounts to approximately $20,000 per
year for an estimated 15 retirees.

FUND BALANCE RESERVE POLICY SUMMARY
Fund Balance Reserve Policy Overview
Overview section added to outline the overall purpose and intent of Fund Balance Reserves, how the
reserves are classified per accounting standards, and the Council established allocation priorities for the
fund balance reserves.
General Fund — Reserve Policies
General Fund Reserve's descriptions were revised to define each reserve's purpose, funding goal, reserve
utilization and replenishment guidelines, and authority levels required for use. The "Operations
Reserve" was renamed to "Working Capital Reserve'; and the "Economic Uncertainty Reserve" was
renamed to "Fiscal Stabilization Reserve" to more accurately reflect their purposes. The Uncollected
Deposits Reserve will be closed at the FY 2012113 year -end, and is to be eliminated from the Fund
Balance Reserve Policies. With the revisions, the General Fund reserve will include:
• Working Capital Reserve (previously known as Operations Reserve)
• Fiscal Stabilization Reserve (previously known as Economic Uncertainty Reserve)
• Carryforward Reserve
• Hillside Stability Reserve
• Future Capital Improvements & Efficiency Projects Reserve
• Environmental Services Reserves
• Development Services Reserves
• Compensated Absences Reserve
• Council Discretionary Reserve
• Other Unassigned Reserve
Special Revenue Fund Reserves
Special Revenue Reserve descriptions were added to define the purpose of the Landscape & Lighting
Fund reserves. Currently, this is the only type of Special Revenue Fund in the City's Financial Structure.
Debt Service Fund Reserves
The Library General Obligation (GO) Bond Debt Fund Reserve was added to define the purpose and
funding levels of the City's debt fund.
Capital Improvement Funds
Capital Fund Reserves descriptions were added to identify the funds within the Capital Program, and that
the fund balances are established solely to hold the program's project funds. The four Capital Programs
include:
• Street Improvement Funds
• Park & Trail Improvement Funds

Internal Service Fund Reserves
Internal Service Fund Reserve descriptions were added to identify the reserve purposes, funding of the
reserve, authority levels, and utilization and replenishment guidelines. Each Internal Service Fund has
very specific purposes with funding levels established to support cash flow needs and minimize interfund
loans. Reserves are established for each of the following Internal Service Funds:
• Liability /Risk Management Reserves
• Workers Compensation Fund
• Office Support Fund
• Information Technology Services Fund
• Vehicle & Equipment Maintenance Fund
• Building Maintenance Fund
• Vehicle & Equipment Replacement Fund

FISCAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
FUND BALANCE RESERVE POLICY OVERVIEW
Principles
As a general philosophy to practice fiscal responsibility, the City of Saratoga attains conservative and
cautious financial management through responsible, sustainable, and enforceable fiscal policies and
internal controls to ensure prudent and efficient use of resources.
The City's budget practices utilize long -range planning as a decision making tool, and annually adopts a
structurally balanced fiscal plan that retains the City's fiscal health, preserves essential services, and
supports short and long -term goals in a financially judicious manner.
Budgeted revenues are conservatively stated and budgeted expenditures are comprehensive, allowing
for the annual operational and capital improvement goals to be completed. With effectively managed
revenue streams and efficient use of resources, fiscal year -end operational budget surpluses are
available to fund future capital improvement projects and contribute to the City's fiscally responsible
reserve accounts.
The City's policy is to fund the Operating Budget with current funding, and to fund the Capital Budget
with surplus and dedicated capital funding resources. The City does not incur debt for operations or
capital improvements except under extraordinary circumstances and with citizen support. Under these
circumstances the City will seek voter approval for General Obligation (GO) Bond Debt for major
infrastructure rehabilitation.
Additionally, the City practices conservative and cautious investment practices through limiting its
investments to the State's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF's extensive professional
investment staff and conservative investment practices ensure prudent financial management of the
City's fiscal reserves.
Prudent financial management dictates that the City reserves a portion of its funds for future use to:
maintain fiscal stability; ensure the continued orderly operation of government and provision of services
to residents; and to mitigate current and future risks.
As a general budget precept, the City Council decides when and whether to appropriate available funds
to and from a reserve account. Use of reserve funds are not authorized without either specific direction
in the annual budget or by a separate City Council action unless specifically noted in policy. Responsible
fiscal stewardship also requires adequate reserve be maintained for all known liabilities and established
City Council and community directed initiatives.
In the following Fund Balance /Reserve Policy overviews, the descriptions are to include identification of
the fund type and classification, the purpose of the reserve, minimum and maximum funding goals
(from a long -term perspective) if appropriate, guidelines on utilization of the reserve and by what
authority, and how the reserve is funded on an ongoing basis, or after utilization.
Fund Balance and Net Position
For Governmental Fund types, a fund's equity is the "fund balance ", for which the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board ( "GASB ") Statement No. 54 defines five specific classifications of fund
balance. Governmental Funds include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds,
and Debt Service Funds). The five fund balance classifications are intended to identify the extent to
which a specific fund balance reserve is available for appropriation and therefore spendable, or if the
reserve is constrained by special restrictions, if any.
Fund Balance Reserve Policies April 22, 2013
CITY OF SARATOGA
FISCAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Equity classifications for non - governmental funds are "Net Position" which is defined as Restricted or
Unrestricted Net Position. A third component of a non - governmental fund's equity is "Net Investment
in Capital Assets" however as this refers to a non - monetary portion of equity, it is not discussed in this
policy section. Non - governmental fund types include Proprietary Funds (Enterprise and Internal Service
Funds) and Fiduciary Funds (Trust Funds). Currently, the City's non - governmental fund types are limited
to Internal Service Funds.
Governmental Fund Type Reserve Classifications
The Governmental Reserve classifications are defined as follows, including the applicable reserves that
fall into the classification:
Non - Spendable Fund Balance
Represents resources that are inherently non - spendable from the vantage point of the current
period. The City does not presently hold Non - Spendable Reserve funds
Restricted Fund Balance
Represents fund balance that is subject to external enforceable legal restrictions. The City maintains
the following restricted fund balances under this designation:
• Environmental Service Fund Balance — in the General Fund
• Fund Balance — in the Special Assessment Funds
• Fund Balance — in the Debt Service Fund
Committed Fund Balance
Represents fund balance constrained by limitations the government imposes upon itself at its
highest level of decision making and remains binding unless removed in the same manner. The City
maintains the following fund balances under this designation:
• Hillside Stability Reserve — in the General Fund
• CIP Fund(s) Project Reserve — in the Capital Improvement Program Funds
Assigned Fund Balance
Represents fund balance identified by Council for an intended use; however as no legal obligations
exist, the funds may be re- designated and utilized for another purpose if Council chooses. The City
maintains the following General Fund reserves under this designation:
• Future Capital Improvement & Efficiency Project Reserve — in the General Fund
• Carryforward Reserve — in the General Fund
Unassigned Fund Balance
Represents funding which may be held for specific types of uses or stabilization purposes, but is not
yet directed to be used for a specific purpose. Only General Fund reserves can be designated under
the "Unassigned" fund balance classification. Other funds are structured for specific purposes and
their fund balances are therefore considered "assigned" for that purpose.
• Working Capital Reserve — in the General Fund
• Fiscal Stabilization Reserve - in the General Fund
• Development Services Reserve — in the General Fund
• Uncollected Deposits Reserve — in the General Fund
• Other Unassigned Fund Balance Reserve — in the General Fund

CITY OF SARATOGA
FISCAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Unassigned Fund Balance Ratio
The General Fund Unassigned Reserve (collective total) is to be maintained at a minimum of 20% of
General Fund appropriations.
General Fund Year -End Allocations
After the City's financial records are finalized and audited, with legal obligations and liability reserves
funded, revenues in excess of expenditures then close out to the Other Unassigned Fund Balance
Reserve.
From the Other Unassigned Fund Balance, funding in excess of $500,000 will be distributed in the
following order:
1. Working Capital Reserve interest allocation.
2. Repayment of Fund Balance Reserve loan back to established level (e.g. borrowing from the Fiscal
Stabilization or Hillside Stability Reserves).
3. Annual contribution of $100,000 to Hillside Stability Reserve, until reserve balance reaches
$1,000,000.
4. Remaining funds are allocated to the Future Capital Improvement and Cost Efficiency Projects
Reserve.
GENERAL FUND — FUND BALANCE RESERVE POLICIES
Working Capital Reserve
In accordance with the City's cautious and conservative fiscal philosophy, the City's general prevailing
financial policy holds that the City should fund daily operations with current resources in order to avoid
use of short -term Tax Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANS).
To support this policy a Working Capital Reserve is established to meet cash flow requirements and
prevent short -term borrowing, which in turn ensures the continuance of services to the public while also
maintaining the City's credit worthiness. To provide adequate working capital, the City shall maintain a
minimum reserve of 60 days of the following year's General Fund budget expenditures and up to a
maximum reserve amount equal to 90 days of the following year's General Fund budget expenditures.
This reserve falls under the Unassigned Fund Balance classification.
A Working Capital Reserve of $2,000,000 was established in April 1994. Effective June 30, 2000, interest
earnings accrue to the reserve at the end of each fiscal year based on the annual LAIF rate, with the
intention to increase the reserve balance amount in proportion to Operating Budget increases.
Fiscal Stabilization Reserve
Under the Unassigned Fund Balance classification, a Fiscal Stabilization Reserve of $1,500,000 is
established to provide temporary financing for budget stabilization caused by fiscal downturns,
unanticipated extraordinary expenditures related to a natural disaster or calamity, or from an
unexpected liability created by Federal or State legislative action.
Fiscal stabilization needs may occur from revenue declines (over one or more years) of more than 5% of
either property tax, the combined total of other taxes, or General Fund revenues in total, or from
unanticipated extraordinary operational increases of more than 5% such as from a natural disaster or
Federal or State legislative action.
Fund Balance Reserve Policies April 22, 2013
CITY OF SARATOGA
FISCAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Council may utilize funding at budget adoption, by adoption of a budget adjustment resolution during
the course of the year, or after a Federal, State, or locally declared emergency. In the event a locally
declared emergency takes place, the City Manager has the authority to spend funds until such time as
the City Council takes action. Reserve appropriations are to be replenished from year -end net
operations, as available, on a priority basis.
Carryforward Reserve
Under the Assigned Fund Balance classification, the Reserve for Carryforwards represents funding held
at the end of each fiscal year for specific unexpended operating budget liabilities to be paid in the
following fiscal year. The reserve is reconciled at the end of each year to both release prior year
carryforward funding and reserve current year carryforward funding into the following budget year.
Staff determines the year -end reserve amount after all fiscal year payments are finalized; the reserve
amount is conceptually appropriated by Council each year in the budget adoption resolution.
Hillside Stability Reserve
Under the Committed Fund Balance classification, a Hillside Stability Reserve of $1,000,000 is
established for unanticipated or unforeseen emergency or extraordinary costs related to hillside
degradation, inclusive of slide prevention and mitigation, slide repair, and associated drainage and
roadwork. The reserve is to be increased by $100,000 each fiscal year from General Fund year -end net
operations until a $1,000,000 reserve cap is reached.
Use of the reserve requires that an analysis be prepared and presented to Council for approval, or in the
event of a landslide requiring immediate emergency work the Public Works Director may direct use of
up to 10% of the reserve to make repairs and mitigate further damage until Council takes action.
Reserve funding is to be used for emergency work which exceeds emergency operational funding
provided for in the Operations Budget. Upon use, refunding of the reserve shall again resume at
$100,000 each fiscal year.
Future Capital Improvements & Efficiency Projects Reserve
Under the Assigned Fund Balance classification, the Reserve for Future Capital Improvement & Efficiency
Projects shall be maintained to fund as yet directed but uncommitted to specific capital and efficiency
improvement projects. Funding is derived from General Fund accumulated net operations (if available)
and is therefore considered a "one -time funding source ". Funds are held in this reserve until Council
reviews funding requests and approves a use or transfer to another fund.
Use of the reserve funding is at the Council's discretion, but typically occurs as part of the annual budget
adoption after Council conducts a comprehensive review of capital and efficiency improvement needs.
Reserve replenishment is dependent upon net operations funding in subsequent fiscal years.
Environmental Services Reserve
Under the Restricted Fund Balance classification, the Environmental Services Reserve represents
revenues collected under a prior funding structure for environmental purposes, and is therefore
restricted for use in funding environmental program costs such as street sweeping and storm drain
cleaning services. Per policy, the Environmental Service Reserve is being utilized through annual budget
appropriations of $50,000.
The Environmental Services Reserve originated from a one -time funding structural change and therefore
will not be replenished when depleted.
Fund Balance Reserve Policies April 22, 2013
CITY OF SARATOGA
FISCAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Development Services Reserve
Under the Unassigned Fund Balance classification, the Development Services Reserve provides fiscal
stability for the Community Development Department's planning and building programs. Development
projects are often multi -year activities in which revenues may be collected in one year, while project
expenditures may extend over several years.
This reserve represents accumulated planning and building funds from years when revenues exceeded
expenditures. The reserve is subsequently utilized to offset excess planning and building program
expenditures through annual budget appropriations in the years where revenues are not sufficient,
thereby acting as an overall funding stabilizer for multi -year development activities.
Use of reserve funding is restricted to 1/3 or the reserve balance in any given fiscal year, with Council
approval. Budgeted use of the Development Reserve is to be rescinded if and to the point where
development revenues are sufficient to cover General Fund net operations at year -end. Funds are
added to the reserve in years where Community Development Department revenues exceed
Community Development Department expenditures.
Compensated Absences Reserve
Under the Assigned Fund Balance classification, the Compensated Absences Reserve is established to
smooth expenditure fluctuations resulting from the payout of accrued leave to employees at service
separation and distribution payouts. Initial reserve funding is to be established at $200,000, with a
targeted goal of one -third of the compensated absences liability established at year -end. Reserve
funding in excess of one -third of the liability is to be returned to the General Fund Other Unassigned
Reserve.
Use of the reserve occurs when total annual compensated absences payouts exceed budgeted salary
funds. Large payouts decrease the compensated absences liability at year -end, thereby supporting the
practice of utilizing the reserve as needed. The reserve may be replenished over a three year period.
Year -end reconciling allocations to and from the reserve are approved though Council's budget
resolution adoption each fiscal year; the reserve and liability amounts are determined as part of the
year -end close process.
Council Discretionary Reserve
Under the Unassigned Fund Balance classification, the Council Discretionary Reserve represents unspent
funds from the Council's annual appropriation. The reserve provides a mechanism to roll forward
remaining Council Discretionary Funds as reserve funds are immediately re- appropriated into the
following fiscal year. This allows Council the flexibility to take advantage of unforeseen opportunities or
needs without the restriction of fiscal year boundaries. Use of the reserve funding requires Council
approval.
The reserve exists at year -end only when there are remaining unspent Council Discretionary funds at the
end of the fiscal year.
Other Unassigned Reserve
The Other Unassigned Reserve represents accumulated net operations which are not allocated to other
fund balance reserves, and by definition fall into the Unassigned Fund Balance classification. In the
General Fund, approximately $500,000 of accumulated net operations is to remain in the Other
Unassigned Fund Balance Reserve at year end to provide a buffer for unanticipated operational
shortfalls and unforeseen needs.
Fund Balance Reserve Policies April 22, 2013
CITY OF SARATOGA
FISCAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Other fund's accumulated net operations are typically accounted for in a general use fund balance
reserve as the funds are structured for specific purposes, whereas the General Fund is used for multiple
operational purposes thereby requiring a distinction of purpose for each reserve.
Council may utilize funding at budget adoption or by adoption of a budget adjustment resolution during
the course of the year. The reserve is replenished from year -end net operations, as available.
Fund Balance Reserve Policies April 22, 2013
CITY OF SARATOGA
FISCAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND — FUND BALANCE RESERVE PPOLICIES
Landscape & Lighting Assessment District Funds
Assessment District Funds are Special Revenue Funds, which is a type of governmental fund. As a
governmental fund, the Landscape and Lighting Assessment District Funds comply with GASB 54 fund
balance classifications, and by nature of the fund's purpose, fund balance reserves are classified as
restricted reserves.
Special Revenue Funds account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are
restricted or committed to specified purposes (other than for debt service or capital projects.) A
Landscape & Lighting Fund is established to account for each individual assessment district; thereby
each fund has its own fund balance reserve.
The minimum fund balance reserve should be sufficient to provide working capital to cover operational
expenses through bond debt receipts in December, which is equitable to approximately one -half of a
district's annual expenditure budget. Some districts may include capital improvement projects in
addition to ongoing regular maintenance resulting in fund balance increasing over the years to
accumulate sufficient resources for the improvement projects. As each district's situation is different, a
district's maximum fund balance shall be determined by the Public Works Director.
Requests for use of the reserve are approved by Council through budget adoption or by a Council
approved budget adjustment resolution throughout the year. The reserve is replenished from the
Fund's net operations in subsequent years.
DEBT SERVICE FUND — FUND BALANCE RESERVE POLICIES
Library General Obligation (GO) Bond Debt Fund
The Library General Obligation (GO) Bond Debt Fund is a Debt Service Fund established to account for
the financial resources accumulated for principal, interest, and cost of issuance expenditures associated
with the Library Bond Debt. As Debt Service Funds are a governmental fund type, the fund reserves fall
under the GASB 54 fund balance classifications. Debt Service Fund reserves are classified as Restricted
as it can be spent only for specific purposes as stipulated by the bond covenants.
The Library GO Bond Debt Fund was established to ensure funding is available for the GO Bond debt
service requirements. At a minimum, the year -end fund balance reserve shall be sufficient to provide
working capital to cover the semi - annual principal and interest debt payment due on August 1St as GO
Bond tax receipts are received after the 1St debt payment is due. The reserve balance should also
include sufficient funding to compensate for possible tax fluctuations as bond assessments are based as
a percentage of property values not a flat amount. The fund's reserve maximum should be no more
than one -year of budgeted annual expenditures.
The reserve balance is increased (or reduced) through establishing assessment rates at more (or less)
than the semi - annual payments and bond services require. Therefore, replenishment (or use) of the
reserve is approved by Council through budget adoption and implemented through an increased (or
reduced) assessment rate as a result of the fund's net operations.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FUNDS — FUND BALANCE RESERVE POLICIES
Overview
Capital Improvement Funds account for the acquisition and maintenance of major capital assets other
than those financed through special assessments or enterprise funds.
Capital Project Funds are a type of governmental fund and therefore comply with GASB 54 fund balance
classifications. As Council has directed the funding be spent for specific improvement projects, the
Capital Project Fund Balance Reserves are classified as Committed Fund Balance.
Budgeted capital improvement projects are funded for the scope of work approved by Council and
remain assigned for that use until completed or reassigned by Council. Fund Balance amounts represent
the total remaining funds of individual projects at year -end. As Fund Balance amounts are determined
by the point of project completion at year -end they cannot be standardized for minimum or maximum
amounts. Fund Balance is re- appropriated to the capital project in the following fiscal year for the work
to be completed.
Street Improvement Projects Funds
Street Improvement Project Funds provide for a safe and functional roadway and pedestrian street
system. Each Street Improvement Fund (CIP Street Fund, CIP Grant Fund, and Gas Tax Fund) has
multiple projects which roll up into the overall fund balances, but remain designated for use by project.
The CIP Street Fund receives annual funding from road impact fees, reimbursements and contributions,
and transfers from other funds. The CIP Grant Fund receives federal, state, and local grants which vary
in source and amount from year -to -year. Typically, CIP Grant Funds have a negative fund balance as
project work is conducted beforehand and then reimbursed from expenditure invoices. The Gas Tax
Fund represents annual Gas Tax and TCR allocations that are to be accounted for separately and may be
audited by the State.
Year end fund balance represents the remaining unexpended project funds (net of any negative CIP
Grant Fund Balance) which are subsequently re- appropriated by Council into the following budget year
through budget adoption.
Park & Trail Improvement Project Funds
Park & Trail Improvement Project Funds provide for capital improvements to the City's neighborhood
and city parks and plaza, the sport fields, bike and pedestrian trails, and open space areas throughout
the City. Each of the Park & Trail Improvement Funds (CIP Park & Trail Fund, CIP Tree Fund, and the CIP
Park & Trail Grant Fund) have multiple projects which roll up into the overall fund balances, but remain
designated for use by project.
The CIP Park & Trail Fund receives annual funding from subventions, occasional Park -in -Lieu fees,
reimbursements and contributions, and transfers in from other funds. The Tree Fund receives revenue
from tree fines and transfers from other funds upon Council direction. The CIP Grant Fund receives
federal, state, and local grants which vary in source and amount from year -to -year. Typically, CIP Grant
Funds have a negative fund balance as project work is conducted beforehand and then reimbursed from
expenditure invoices.
Year end fund balance represents the remaining unexpended project funds (net of any negative CIP
Grant Fund Balance) which are subsequently re- appropriated by Council into the following budget year
through budget adoption.

Facility Improvement Funds
Facility Improvement Project Funds provide for capital maintenance and improvements of the City -
owned buildings and structures throughout the City. Each of the Facility Improvement Funds (CIP
Facilities Fund and the Facility Grant Fund) have multiple projects which roll up into the overall fund
balances, but remain designated for use by project.
The CIP Facilities Fund receives annual funding from an annual General Fund transfer, from Theater
Ticket Surcharge Fees, from reimbursements and contributions, and transfers from other funds. The
Facility Grant Fund receives revenue from grants that varies in amount from year -to -year. Typically, CIP
Grant Funds have a negative fund balance as project work is conducted beforehand and then
reimbursed from expenditure invoices.
Year end fund balance represents the remaining unexpended project funds (net of any negative CIP
Grant Fund Balance) which are subsequently re- appropriated by Council into the following budget year
through budget adoption.
Administrative Improvement Funds
Administrative Improvement Project Funds provide for major capital expenditures to improve or
enhance administrative and operational systems, processes, or functions. Each of the Administrative
Improvement Funds (CIP Administrative Improvement Fund and the Administrative Grant Fund) have
multiple projects which roll up into the overall fund balances, but remain designated for use by
individual project.
The CIP Administrative Fund typically receives funding from a General Fund transfer as Administrative
Grants are limited. Typically, CIP Grant Funds have a negative fund balance as project work is conducted
beforehand and then reimbursed from expenditure invoices.
Year end fund balance represents the remaining unexpended project funds (net of any negative CIP
Grant Fund Balance) which are subsequently re- appropriated by Council into the following budget year
through budget adoption.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUND — FUND BALANCE RESERVE POLICIES
Overview
Internal Service Funds are established to provide centralized cost centers for shared expenses and
services in order to efficiently track costs and manage resources. Costs are then allocated back to the
operational programs based on usage to more accurately determine cost of services.
The City's Internal Service Funds include the two Insurance funds: Risk Management and Workers
Compensation, four Service /Support funds: Office Support, IT Services, Vehicle & Equipment
Maintenance, and Building Maintenance Funds, and two Equipment Replacement funds: the Vehicle &
Equipment Replacement Fund, and the Office Technology Equipment Replacement Fund.
As each fund is accounted for as a separate entity, operational revenues less expenditures result in
either a positive or negative fund balance at any given point in time — Internal Service Funds are similar
to the separate checking and saving accounts a person may use for different purposes. At year end,
each fund's net balance is represented as the "Fund Balance Reserve ".
The intent of the Internal Service Funds Reserves is to hold appropriate levels of reserves to support
cash flow needs and minimize interfund loans, not to accumulate funds in excess of expected ongoing
operational costs. Reserve levels are determined by the specific operational needs of the program,
but typically will fall within 25 — 50% of annual budgeted expenditures.
As Internal Service Funds are a type of Proprietary Fund; GASB 54 fund balance classification (for
Governmental Fund types) does not apply. Instead, Internal Service Fund's financial statement reports
are presented similar to private- sector businesses and use "Restricted" and "Unrestricted Net Position"
to define net operational balances (equity /fund balance reserves).
Unrestricted Net Position allows reserve funding to be used (with Council approval) within the general
scope of the fund's purpose. Restricted Net Position reserves are limited to a purpose narrower than
the purpose of the fund. For example, grant funding limited to a specifically defined use, as in remaining
funds from a Risk Management Training Grant within the Liability /Risk Management Fund must be used
for qualified training purposes. Most Internal Service Funds reserves are held in the Unrestricted Net
Position category.
Liability /Risk Management Reserve Fund
The Liability /Risk Management Fund's Unrestricted Net Position reserve supports cash flow needs and
minimizes interfund loans. Appropriate levels are maintained through service chargebacks to the
programs, based on operational risk factors. Most claims are covered under the insurance risk pool JPA,
the City is self- insured for up to $25,000 per occurrence. Non - covered claims are paid fully by the City.
The Liability /Risk Management program receives funding from: allocations charged to covered
departments, from grant funding, and from claim reimbursements. At year end, unspent funding flows
into Unrestricted Net Position or Restricted Net Position for grant funding. Requests for use of the
reserve balance are approved by Council through budget adoption or by a Council approved budget
adjustment resolution throughout the year. The reserve is replenished from the Fund's net operations
in subsequent years.
Workers Compensation Fund
The Workers Compensation Fund's Unrestricted Net Position reserve supports cash flow needs and
minimizes interfund loans. Appropriate levels are maintained through service chargebacks to the
