Property Tax
At the close of the third quarter, property tax revenue receipt was $37.1 million, 61.6% of the
adjusted budget, and an increase of 8.8% over the same period in the prior year, due to higher
assessed values mainly driven by change in ownership. Property tax is received from the County
of Santa Clara during second, third, and fourth quarters of the calendar year. The compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 10 years has been approximately 8.4%. The FY 2023 secured
property tax assessed value growth rate and unsecured property tax assessed values (AV) growth
rates are 6.4 % and - 6.5%, respectively, with a combined rate of 5.8%.
At FY 2023 mid-year property tax budget was revised upward by $0.5 million to $60.3 million.
The County of Santa Clara’s Finance Agency and Office of the Assessor, the entities responsible
for managing the property tax billing, collection, and processing changes (e.g., sales, assessment
appeal, etc.) forecasts indicate the upward revised FY 2023 forecast of $60.3 million will be met
or exceeded.
FY 2022 actual property tax revenue was $59.4 million which included $6.6 million for Education
Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) distributions from the County of Santa Clara. Of this $6.6
million receipt, $1.7 million has been set aside for the at-risk amount due to the lawsuit filed in
November 2021 by the California School Boards of Association and its Education Legal Alliance
against the Controller of the State of California for over the calculation methodology of the Excess
ERAF. The County estimates that 20% to 25% of excess ERAF in FY 2022, FY 2023, and beyond are
at risk due to this litigation. The FY 2022 disputed amount that has been received has been
reserved and the FY 2023 adopted budget excludes this amount ($1.5 million). Though Excess
ERAF receipt has steadily grown over the last nine years, excess ERAF is not considered a
permanent local revenue source.

Sales Tax
As of the third quarter, sales tax revenue has seen an increase of $2.9 million or 15.5%, from the
same period last year due to combination of continued pandemic recovery and inflation. Due to
the timing of the California Department Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) sales tax collection
and distribution, third quarter sales tax represents seven months of sales tax activity and does
not represent sales tax activity for the full three quarters of the fiscal year. Actual performance
for this fiscal year will not be known until August/September.
At FY 2023 mid-year, this revenue was revised upward by $1.5 million to $34.1 million or 4.6%
based on inflation, performance to date, recent consumer trends, and the projected outlook by
City’s sale’s tax consultant. Staff expect that the actuals for the year will be higher than the $34.1
million adjusted budget.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
TOT revenues reached $14.8 million the end of the third quarter, an increase of 86.9% over the
prior year. The current receipts indicate that TOT continues to have significant growth from the
unprecedented lows seen during the pandemic. The third quarter results represent 7.5 months
of TOT receipts due to the one-month timing delay in receipts. At FY 2023 mid-year, the budget
was revised upward by $4.0 million to $22.2 million, or 22.0%. Of this amount, $12.5 million is
anticipated to fund General Fund Expenses, while $9.7 million will be transferred to the Capital
Improvement Fund to cover costs associated with the remaining 2014 Council Infrastructure Plan
capital projects and associated debt service costs. With continued resiliency and growth in travel
and tourism it is expected that actuals will be even higher than adjusted budget. As of this writing,
receipts as of February 2023 or 8 months of the fiscal year were 88.6% higher, average occupancy
was 67.7%, an increase of 18.4%, and average daily room rate was $257, an increase of 41.45%,
all from the same period last year. If the current trend continues, receipts are likely to exceed the
adjusted budget.
Utility User Tax (UUT)
The UUT is levied on electric, gas, and water consumption, as well as on telephone usage. As of
the third quarter, UUT revenues were $2.1 million or 18.6%, higher than the same period last
year. UUT on electric, water, and gas services increased by 27.8% while telephone services
decreased by 0.6%. This revenue is showing a combination of pandemic recovery as workers
return to the office and commodity prices increase. The purchase commodity price for electricity,
gas, and water is increasing the cost to provide utility services due to unprecedented gas and
electric prices, higher transmission, operating and maintenance costs, plus inflation. The higher
utility costs result in higher UUT revenue. As a result, the outlook is actuals for the year will be
substantially higher than the $15.6 million budget.
Documentary Transfer Tax
Cash receipts total $3.2 million, or 44.5% of the FY 2023 Adjusted Budget and $5.6 million lower
than prior year receipts for the same period. The number of transactions is 43% lower compared
to the prior year’s third quarter. This revenue source is volatile since it is highly dependent on
Item 15
15 Staff Report
Item 15: Staff Report Pg. 4 Packet Pg. 378 of 406
sales volume and the mix of commercial and residential sales. The prior year had a record receipt
due to nine large commercial sales that occurred in FY 2022. Though the housing market
continues to intensify as homes are selling faster, the number of homes available for sale
continues to tighten. It is expected this revenue will be below budget by year-end based on
current trends. Staff continues to monitor these receipts closely due to significant fluctuations
that can occur anytime depending on the real estate sales activity.
Charges for Services
Charges to Stanford for fire services increased $1.3 million due to higher reimbursement
level consistent with the negotiated fire agreement.
Plan Check Fee increased by $2.8 million mainly driven by higher commercial permit
activity.
Program and classes increased by $0.9 million due to higher demand for several programs
such as ceramic classes and tennis programs.
Junior Museum & Zoo (JMZ) increased $0.4 million; this FY 2023 represented the first full
year of operations since it opened in October 2021.
The increases mentioned above were partially offset by the decrease in golf revenues $0.3
million, or 9.0%, which can be attributed to the several weeks of heavy rains and winter
storms.

Table 2
Total expenditures through the first three quarters of the fiscal year were 56.3% of the adjusted
budget and represent a $15.3 million, or 11.8 %, increase over last year. The increase is mainly
due to salaries and benefit costs and allocated charges. Allocated charges were higher in the
current year primarily due to the vehicle equipment maintenance service and replacement
charges and Information Technology support and replacement.
Through the end of the third quarter, 56.3% of adjusted budget was expended, which is slightly
lower than the percent expended through the 3rd quarter in FY 2022, 60.9%. The variance is
mainly due to All Other Departments which only expended 24.6% of the adjusted budget. Non-
Departmental is in this category and only expended 7.9%, because there is a large unspent
reserve of $17.5 million for settlement of claims related to Green v. City of Palo Alto (Santa Clara
Superior Court, Case No. 1-16-CV-300760). In addition, a $14.0 million for budget uncertainty
reserve was established to offset anticipated shortfalls in FY 2024 and FY 2025. Excluding both
these reserves, the percentage of total expenditure to adjusted budget is 64.1%.
As a service-driven organization, the largest expenses are salaries and benefits. Salary and Benefit
costs through these nine months reflect approximately 74% of the adjusted budget, compared
to an average expected of 75%. Total General Fund salary and benefits expenditures through
March 2023 are approximately $110.0 million, compared to $97.8 million in the same period in
the prior year. The increase in salaries and benefits is mainly due to the following:
$4.3 million in regular salaries because of positions added and hired in FY2023, general,
merit and market adjustments.
$4.0 million in City’s pension contribution.
$0.9 million in medical, dental and vision expenses

$1.1 million pension contribution to Section 115 irrevocable Pension Trust which is based
on approximate lower discount rate of 5.8%.
Temporary salaries, overtime, paid leave, and workers compensation are also trending
higher due to increase in salary rates, vacancies across departments, and increases in
workers compensation cases.
Police and Fire The total actual expenses for the Police and Fire Departments comprised
approximately 46.1% of total General Fund expenditures for the third quarter, which is consistent
with prior year trends. The following table highlights Police and Fire salaries and overtime for the
third quarter. Net overtime cost analysis for the Police and Fire Departments can be found in
Attachment B.
Table 3
Police overtime is 36.3% higher than FY 2022 and represents 202.7% of the adjusted budget due
to backfilling vacancies, benefited leave or industrial injuries, training is higher than usual due to
the volume of new hires and responding to storm-related calls for services in Palo Alto and as
mutual aid to the community of Pajaro, Monterey County- to be reimbursed subsequently. As of
this writing, the Department has a total of 11.0% of positions vacant: eight positions are police
officers, one business analyst, one community service officer, three in records and two
dispatchers. Another 4% of staff are unavailable to work due to benefited leave or industrial
injury and 9% of filled positions have new staff in training (in-house or at the police academy).
Although overtime is tracking higher, overall, the Department is trending within the budget for
total salary and benefits and anticipates doing so through the remainder of FY 2023. The
Department’s net overtime cost is $0.7 million after deducting the reimbursements and salary
savings due to vacancies. Analysis is included in Attachment B.
Item 15
15 Staff Report
Item 15: Staff Report Pg. 7 Packet Pg. 381 of 406
Fire overtime is 20.6% lower than FY 2022 and 75% of the adjusted budget. Overtime is generated
when there are firefighter positions vacant, employees go on leave or call in sick, as well as when
entry level firefighters are completing the academy. These situations create shift positions that
must be backfilled with overtime. The Department had more shift positions to backfill in FY 2022
mainly due to the timing of hiring and trainings in Fire Academy resulting to a decrease of
overtime in FY 2023. In midyear of FY 2023, $1.7M was moved from salary savings into overtime
to account for these vacancies and staffing of Fire Station 8. Training typically takes 18 weeks
before firefighters can fill positions on engines and ambulances. Overall, the Department is
trending within budget for all salary and benefit categories and anticipates doing so through the
remainder of FY 2023. The Department’s net overtime cost is $1.6 million after deducting the
reimbursements and salary savings due to vacancies. Analysis is included in Attachment B.
General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve (BSR) Balance
As a result of budget amendment actions taken in FY 2023, including the FY 2023 Midyear Budget
Report1 the Budget Stabilization Reserve (BSR) was $49.2 million at the end of Q3, which is above
the City Council recommended 18.5% level of $45.6 million by $3.6 million. The balancing strategy
for the FY 2024 Proposed Budget used revised major tax revenue projections for FY 2023 using
data available after March 31, 2023. These projections included an additional $3.6 million in
major tax revenue, increasing the FY 2023 year-end BCR estimate to $52.9 million. This report
serves as a financial status and does not include budgetary adjustments for major tax revenues;
budgetary transactions necessary to align FY 2023 activity with the FY 2024 balancing strategy
will be brought forward during year-end close. This funding above the 18.5% level has been
recommended to be used as part of the FY 2024 Proposed Budget Process to maintain General
Fund BSR at 20% of the FY 2024 budgeted expenses.

3rd Quarter YTD Actuals
Water Fund decreased $2.6 million, or 54.7%, from the prior year due to overall decrease in
revenues and an increase in operating costs. Revenue decreased despite of 8.9 rate increase
effective July 1, 2022 due to, up until recent weather events, a voluntary water use reduction
caused by drought conditions. The increase in operating costs is primarily from commodity
purchases, salaries and benefits and vehicle replacement allocation. San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission (SFPUC) commodity rate increased from $4.10 to $4.75, a 15.9% increase due to
drought conditions.
Electric Fund increased $7.8 million, or 109.5%, due to 5% rate increase effective July 1, 2022 and
an increase to the Electric Hydro Rate Adjuster effective January 1, 2023. On December 19, 20222
the Palo Alto City Council approved an increase to the Electric Hydro Rate Adjuster (E-HRA),
increasing the current Electric Hydro Rate from $0.013/kWh to $0.048/kWh effective on January
1, 2023. Activation of the E-HRA surcharge creates a temporary rate increase which is
approximately a 20% or $17.15 monthly increase for a median electric residential customer. The
rate increases were implemented to offset increasing market commodity prices and transmission
costs. In addition, the Electric Operations Reserves were at the minimum guideline level at the
end of FY2022 and is forecasted to drop below minimum in FY2023, as costs were outpacing

revenues. In FY2021 and FY2022, the utility did not raise rates to mitigate the economic impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on residents and businesses resulting in minimum reserve levels.
Gas Fund increased $3.6 million, or 213.6% from the same period prior year due to increase in
revenue from customer sales partially offset by higher commodity purchases. The customer sales
increased by $25.8 million primarily due to the unprecedented spike in natural gas market price
during January 2023 along with the 4% rate increase effective July 1, 2022. The commodity costs
are pass-through in nature and offsets extraordinarily high gas prices due to weather, gas
production, as well as national and international trade and demand. In addition, revenues are
below costs as the utility kept rate increases low during the pandemic while operations and
construction costs continue to rise. The extreme gas prices in FY 2023 and unexpected expenses
in FY 2022 lowered the gas utility’s reserves below minimum guideline.
Wastewater Collection Fund increased $0.7 million, or 801.2%, from prior year due to increase
in residential and commercial sales because of 3% rate increase effective July 1, 2022.
Wastewater Treatment Fund increased $2.1 million, or 95.0% from prior year due to the timing
of the fourth quarter billing which occurred in Q3 for FY 2023 compared to Q4 in FY 2022 and
increase in operating expenses. The largest increase in operating expenses were the salaries and
benefits as a result of new hires and overtime for both routine and emergency coverage and
interdepartmental utility charges. During FY 2023, Wastewater Treatment received $8.8 million
reimbursements from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) for certain project
expenses of the Primary Sedimentation Tank and Secondary Treatment Process. These
reimbursements are recorded as a liability as the City is expected to repay the loans following
the completion of each project.
Refuse Fund decreased $1.3 million, or 27.4%, from prior year due to timing of the February
Greenwaste payment amounting to $1.1 million which occurred in March 2023 compared to April
2022 in FY 2022 and an increase in Greenwaste quarterly extra service compensation.
Storm Drain Fund decreased $0.6 million, or 24.5% from prior year due to increase in operating
and maintenance expenses specifically salaries and benefits.
Airport Fund decreased $2.2 million or 80.4% due to higher federal grants received from Federal
Aviation Administration in prior year.
