Staff requests that the Budget Standing Subcommittee of the City of South San Francisco
(“City”) review the FY 2022-23 Mid-Year Financial Report and the proposed budget
amendments for FY 2022-23; and refer the items to the February 22, 2023 City Council
meeting for full Council acceptance.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
City Council approved the FY 2022-23 General, Enterprise and Internal Service Fund budgets on
June 22, 2022. The approved budgets feature the annual expenditure and resource allocation plan
that guide the implementation of City Council budget policies and priorities. The budget provides
funding direction for the broad range of services that meet the needs of the community in
accordance with City Council policy.
This financial review provides the mid-year budget update to the City Council for the current fiscal
year. Analysis of the revenues collected and all expenditures through December 31, 2022 measures
operational adherence to the budgetary allocation plan.
The adjusted budget incorporates current estimates for revenue and expenditure appropriations for
all funds as of December 31, 2022. The Mid-Year Financial Report as of December 31, 2022
provides comparisons to the prior year and focuses on variances from the revenue and expenditure
plans and allocations contemplated in the budget.

II.Reserves Overview & Considerations
I. CURRENT FISCAL YEAR (FY2022-23) UPDATE
The General Fund finances the operations of the City and pays for basic municipal services. The
adjusted FY 2022-23 General Fund budget projects revenues totaling $126.2 million and
expenditures totaling $137.0 million, including purchase order encumbrances from FY 2021-22,
approved carryover amounts, and several City Council approved appropriation amendments prior
to December 2022.
The following sections show the revenue and expenditure results as of December 31, 2022.
A. General Fund Revenues – 2nd Quarter
The following table shows actual revenues as of December 31, 2022 with a comparative view of
where the City’s revenues were at the same time last year (December 31, 2021):
Table 1: FY 2021-22 vs. FY 2022-23 Revenues as of December 31
As shown in the above table, projected revenue for FY 2022-23 is $126.2 million – approximately
$7.1 million more than the FY2021-22 budget. Actual revenue collections for the two quarters
ended December 31, 2022 exceed prior year by $18.5 million and represent almost 54% of the
projected revenue for the entire fiscal year.
The following highlights the recommended adjustments to the FY2022-23 revenue budget.
1.Property Tax. The real estate market remains strong as homeowners continue to make
10
City of South San Francisco Page 3 of 12
improvements on their existing homes and new construction are added to the tax roll.
Property tax comprises almost 40% of the General Fund’s total revenue. Property tax is
allocated to the City in two large installments (December and April). Our records show
property tax collections have reached 58.2% of our projection as of December 31, 2022.
Based on the available information provided by the county, staff recommends a $2 million
increase to the projections.
2. Sales Tax. There is about a two-month lag in the collection of sales tax receipts. Just like
the 2nd quarter of FY 2021-22, the city has received approximately one-third of the
projected sales tax revenue for the entire fiscal year. Our initial forecast on sales tax is well-
aligned with the latest estimates provide by our sales tax consultant in January. Staff
recommends a $1.4 million increase to our projections.
3. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). This revenue stream, most impacted by the pandemic-
imposed travel restrictions, has demonstrated strong recovery to the pre-pandemic level.
As of December 31, 2022, the city has recorded a TOT revenue collection of $7.4 million.
This amount represents $2.9 million or 64% more than the FY 2021-22 2nd quarter year-
to-date collection and has exceeded the same quarter collection for the two fiscal years
prior to the pandemic [$6.2 million for FY 2017-18 and $6.8 million for FY 2018-19].
Staff remains optimistic about the continuous growth of this revenue stream when business
travel begins to accelerate. As such staff recommends a $3 million increase in the
projections.
4. Other Tax. Other tax includes real property transfer tax, business license and commercial
parking tax. 2nd quarter year-to-date collection of commercial parking tax and business
license tax exceeds prior year’s amount by $660k and $106k respectively. Revenue
streams from new business startups and traffic to the City continues to strengthen since the
decline in FY 2020-21. Staff recommends a $800k increase in our projections.
5. Licenses & Permits. Revenue from building and electric has demonstrated significant
growth. Collection for the 2nd quarter year-to-date exceeds the prior year’s amount by $4.8
million, reaching $11.5 million (71% of budget). This has surpassed 2nd quarter year-to-
date collection for the two fiscal years prior to the pandemic [$7 million for FY 2017-18
and $7.5 million for FY 2018-19]. Staff recommends a $3.9 million increase in our
projections.
6. Service Charges. This revenue stream includes fees charges by various departments for
services provided to the public and has been negatively affected by the pandemic. Total
collection for 2nd quarter year-to-date exceeds prior year’s amount by $440k. This is
primarily due to a significant increase in fees collected by the child care program. Overall,
the actual revenue collection is within our expectations. However, staff recommends a
11
City of South San Francisco Page 4 of 12
$584k decrease in our projections as Planning Division receipts are below initial
expectations.
7. Intergovernmental. Staff recommends a $800k decrease in our projections as the city has
received less than expected grant and program reimbursement from other governmental
entities.
8. Transfer In. Staff recommends a $694k increase in Transfers In, from the Infrastructure
Reserve Fund ($294k), the Developer Deposit Fund ($308k) and the Public Safety Impact
Fee Fund ($92k).
If approved by Council, the above changes would result in increasing the overall revenue budget
for FY 2022-23 by $10.4 million from $126.2 million to $136.6 million.
B. General Fund Expenditures – 2nd Quarter
The following table shows the actual expenditures by Department that have been recorded through
December 31, 2022:
Table 2: FY 2021-22 vs. FY 2022-23 Expenditures as of December 31

The city is breaking even in terms of revenue and expenditures as of December 31, 2022, with
expenditures exceeding revenues collected by $120k.

II. RESERVES OVERVIEW & CONSIDERATIONS
In FY 2021-22, General Fund revenues, excluding Measure W, were $125.5 million. In keeping
with the City’s Reserve Policy of maintaining 20 percent of operating revenues which follows the
Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) best practice, the City’s General Fund
reserves levels were increased by approximately $3.2 million, from $21.9 million to $25.1 million.
This General Reserve amount does not change during the fiscal year. The Pension Stabilization
Reserve was established by Council and does not change unless further action is taken. It remains
invested and managed by the City’s third-party investment manager.
After meeting the reserves requirement noted above, Table 4 below shows a summary of the City’s
official reserves at June 30, 2022:
Table 4: City Reserves Summary as of 6-30-2022
General Reserves $25,100,000
Pension Stabilization Reserves $5,545,000
Infrastructure Reserves $18,033,000
Total Reserve Levels $48,678,000
Available Unassigned GF Fund Balance 12,327,000
Reserves & Surplus Fund Balance $61,005,000
Table 5 below shows a breakdown of FY2022-23 Infrastructure Reserve appropriations to date as
well as inflows of revenues. It also includes additional mid-year requests, detailed in previous
sections of this report:

Available Reserve Balance after Mid-Year $7,690,826
The current City’s Financial Enterprise Resource Platform (ERP) system is approaching its end-
of-life cycle in 2027. However, the City has yet to set aside money to replace the aging ERP
18
City of South San Francisco Page 11 of 12
system. Staff recommends the City set aside $6 million from its unassigned fund balance for the
new ERP system and implementation. Staff strongly recommends that any appropriations from
the unassigned fund balance be limited to one-time projects, versus funding ongoing needs such
as increasing staff or continuing operating costs.
Table 6 below shows the unassigned fund balance and the impact of the General Fund budget for
FY2022-23, the effect of year-to-date budget amendments already approved by Council, the mid-
year appropriations requests and revenue updates detailed in this report and the effect of setting
aside an additional $6 million for the ERP replacement. The recommended revenue and
expenditure budget updates are projected to result in a surplus of approximately $6 million so the
allocation of this amount to the ERP project would leave the unassigned fund balance largely
unchanged, as can be seen below.

Conclusion
The City of South San Francisco has proven its resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic and in
its recovery from it. Revenue streams have rebounded strongly, particularly in the Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT) category, as was seen in the FY2021-22 year-end results. This has
continued to date in FY 2022-23 in TOT revenue, property tax, sales tax and other categories,
beyond initial adopted budget expectations, while some other categories are coming in slightly
short of expectations. As a result, staff consider it necessary to make the adjustments detailed in
this report.
It is important to acknowledge, however, that the City does have a little way to go to return fully
to pre-pandemic levels in some revenue categories. Furthermore, there is some risk of economic
volatility in the near-term so staff remain cautiously optimistic and believe some revenue streams
may level off somewhat from the current continued upward trajectory, particularly in TOT and
sales tax, should economic headwinds occur. In addition, as revenues increase, there is often a

commensurate increase in expenditures but it is important to ensure that these grow in a
controlled and coordinated fashion.
The City has strong financial reserves, as well as unassigned fund balance available in the
General Fund which can be used for one-time projects, such as the recommended ERP
replacement. It is a staff’s assessment that the City remains in a state of vigorous financial
health.
Staff recommends that the Budget Standing Committee accept the FY 22-23 Mid-year financial
update and budget amendment requests, and refer this report to the February 22, 2023 Council
meeting for full Council acceptance.
