WORKSHOP SESSION
The City Manager reported that the City Council would be presented with a workshop
on the Fiscal Year 2017 -18 Proposed Budget. He stated that the budget is the single
most important action the City Council takes all year, aligns resources with the City
Council's financial policies and Strategic Plan, and is the City's commitment to
professionally and prudently spend money entrusted to us by the public.
The City Manager indicated that the budget reflects no new positions and the removal
of three unfilled posi': :ons that City Council has already been made aware of. He
indicated that the budget is balanced, does not propose service -level changes, and
maintains the City Council reserve policies, as well as continuing to allocate funds to
current and future year infrastructure projects. He stated the budget takes into account
the multi -year employee union labor agreements. He indicated that the operating and
capital budgets total approximately $37 million with a budget surplus for future years.
He stated that the General Fund does not include the Recreation and Park District and
remains largely unchanged. He stated that the General Fund operating surplus is
approximately $4 million, which is a decrease from last fiscal year. He stated that
public safety is the most expensive budget service.
The City Manager stated that the Capital Outlay budget is approximately $1.6 million
and is using funds that are either saved or set aside from prior years for the purpose of
equipment replacement. He indicated that significant ongoing increases total
approximately $500,000 and include increased pension costs of approximately
$340,000, the City's pro rata share of a new Orange County An :mal Care facility in
Tust'.:i and ongoing operations, and a new business licensing system.
Council Member Berry asked about the $190,000 increase for animal ccntrol operations

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 8, 2017
The Director of Finance and Administrative Services responded that the new Orange
County Animal Care facility is approximately $63,000 and annual animal control
services are approximately $350,000.
The City Manager stated that two budget additions include a one -time community
survey at a cost of approximately $45,000 and succession plan training at a cost of
$15,000 which would include training of mid - management and executive management
on specific topics of value to the City.
The City Manager stated the Cypress Recreation and Park District has a balanced
budget and remains sustainable at an operational level. He stated that there are no
significant program changes except for the return of the outdoor movie services.
The City Manager indicated the Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) budget is slightly
more than $8 million with a realignment of the CIP to reflect the anticipated financial
condition of the City over the next five years. He stated that remaining CIP funds would
remain flexible for as long as possible in order to support the City's general financial
health.
Council Member Johnson asked if the Recreation and Park District CIP budget includes
Mackay Park.
The City Manager responded that Mackay Park funding is appropriated in the current
year budget.
Council Member Yarc asked for clarification on the term parkway.
The City Manager responded that a parkway is the grass area between the curb and
the sidewalk and included medians.
The City Manager reviewed five -year economic trends that include home value
appreciation, local economy development, pension cost increases, and sales tax
declines. He assured that Cypress remains in a better financial condition than most
cities in California, and reviewed a five -year forecast of revenues and expenditures. He
stated that sales tax revenues would be flat for a five -year period, with pension and
personnel costs being the largest cost increase. He indicated that the use of reserves
would not be anticipated.
Council Member Johnson asked about the sales tax decrease in Fiscal Year 2019 -20.
The City Manager indicated that the long -term infrastructure improvements agreement
with Warland for Shaw Industries expires early in fiscal year 2019 -20 and shifts from a
capital cost to a direct offset to sales tax. He stated that it is anticipated that the sales
tax rebate would continue.
The City Manager reviewed forecast assumptions and actual and projected General
Fund Revenues for Fiscal Year 2012 -13 through Fiscal Year 2021 -22. He stated that
revenues do not grow very much over the forecasted time period, and that costs would
be a challenge. He spoke of business sales tax struggles and Cypress' ranking of its
per capita sales tax.
The City Manager spoke of the CaIPERS pension expenditures and the change in the
employer /employee rate and increased costs to member agencies. He stated that the
CaIPERS projected unfunded liabilities the City is projected to pay would increase from
$1.9 million in Fiscal Year 2017 -18 to $4.7 million in Fiscal Year 2021 -22.
Council Member Yarc asked about repercussions if the City cannot pay the CaIPERS
unfunded liabilities.
The City Manager responded that consultants would work with the cities to consolidate
with each other or disincorporate, and that the City could potentially withdraw from
CaIPERS and pay the outstanding balance in full.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 8, 2017
Council Member Yarc asked about repercussions if the City was not able to afford the
CaIPERS pension liabilities and decrease staff.
The City Manager indicated that the CaIPERS pension liabilities would still have to be
paid and would be unaffected by a decrease in staff. He stated that the unfunded
liabilities are repayment of monies that had already been put on deposit with CaIPERS
and vanished due to investment losses and /or actuarial changes. He stated that the
current normal cost may increase slightly.
Council Member Yarc asked about repercussions if cities do not pay their unfunded
liabilities.
The City Manager indicated that CaIPERS could sue the cities and spoke of potential
legislation that would allow CaIPERS the ability to withhold property tax revenues from
cities.
The City Manager stated that the Strategic Plan includes short and long -term financial
planning, as well as funding options for recreation investments. He indicated that fee
studies have been done to determine cost recovery and a pension trust would be
established to create revenues. He stated that the CIP would be reviewed in order to
accurately reflect the City's financial condition, a recreation facility condition
assessment is being done, and there would be strategic investments in technology.
The City Manager spoke of economic development and its intention to maintain a stable
employment base and improve shopping and dining amenities.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked about the State gas tax increase and its impact to the City's
revenues.
The City Manager responded that the Fiscal Year 2017 -18 gas tax would increase
slightly due to a partial year benefit from Senate Bill 1. He stated that approximately $1
million is anticipated in additional City revenues because of the gas tax increase and
that there would be additional competitive revenue programs that the City would
pursue. He indicated that cities with a high Payment Condition Index (PCI) would
receive flexibility of how to deploy the new monies. He spoke of external factors
affecting economic development including the loss of the Redevelopment Agency and
the impact of the great recession. He stated that the Cypress Chamber of Commerce
is focused on small businesses which are a vital part of the community, however they
do not generate large revenues for the City.
The City Manager reviewed economic development strategies that include marketing
Cypress' brand, regional approaches, and partnerships. He stated that 7.5 percent of
the assessed land value in the City is owned by five landowners in the Katella Avenue
Business Park, excluding the Los Alamitos Race Course, and that the City has an
opportunity to partner with those businesses. He spoke of the positive relationship with
Warland and their praises of the City.
The City Manager spoke of the 2017 -18 initiatives that would include retail recruitment
assessment, regional consortium participation, and regional partnership with BRACE,
AGENT, and SPIRIT.
Council Member Johnson spoke regarding current and future budgets considerations
and complimented staff on their efforts.
Mayor Pro Tem Peat asked where the development of the 13 acre property would be
categorized.

included in the Cypress' brand category as it would provide amenities for surrounding
