BACKGROUND:
The worldwide coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is unprecedented in its size, scope and
impact. With over 27 million people infected and 470,660 deaths in the United States as
of February 9, 2021, the impact of this infectious and potentially deadly disease is
unmatched. The increase in COVID-19 cases in November and December of 2020 led to
renewed measures to control the virus, including additional restrictions imposed.
Additionally, the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy continues and has reached
10.1 million Americans resulting in an unemployment rate of 6.7 percent.
A second Regional Stay at Home Order was issued in California on December 3, 2020,
triggered by regions having less than 15 percent Intensive Care Unit (ICU) capacity. All
Southern California regions were affected by the Stay At Home Order, including areas
that fell to zero percent capacity. This Order was lifted on January 25, 2021 as projected
ICU availability over four weeks in all regions rose to over 15 percent, triggering the State
to announce the return to a color-tiered system of county-by-county restrictions. Orange
County is currently in the purple tier, which is the most restrictive tier.
To help address the revenue loss experienced by businesses and additional expenses
incurred by municipalities to address the pandemic, numerous pieces of legislation were
introduced in 2020 at the State and Federal levels to help offset some of the fiscal
impacts, such as the Federal CARES Act. However, the fiscal stimulus packages rolled
out to date do not address in full the revenue losses or increased costs that states,
counties, and municipalities are experiencing.
In January, a new proposal submitted by President Biden includes a $1.9 trillion Economic
Relief Plan that contains $350 billion in aid to state and local governments. The relief
effort is designed to assist with the budget gaps created by the crisis and its economic
shutdowns. The state and local aid is part of a broader package, which also includes
money for extended unemployment insurance, vaccine distribution, school reopening
plans, public transit, federal technology programs, and an expansion of stimulus checks.
While addressing fiscal challenges in the last quarter of FY 2019-20, the City immediately
implemented cost containment measures and developed a financial plan to ensure fiscal
sustainability. As a result, the FY 2019-20 audited financial statements resulted in a
balanced, albeit small positive year-end result of approximately $170,000.
Moreover, the current FY 2020-21 Budget was reduced to address the fiscal impacts of the
pandemic, and adopted by the City Council on June 9, 2020, for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 2020. Since adoption, the Finance Department has been closely monitoring the City’s
revenues and expenses to ensure fiscal sustainability. At fiscal mid-year, department staff
compiled recommended budget adjustments to cover additional costs and/or provide
appropriations necessary to expend funds that have been received for specific purposes.
ANALYSIS:
The Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget was adopted by the City Council on June 9, 2020, for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020. The Finance Department has compiled recommended
budget adjustments to cover additional costs and/or provide appropriations necessary to
expend funds that have been received for specific purposes. The City has received
revenues or has available fund balances that will support the requested adjustments. In the
General Fund, the staff realignment requests can be absorbed within each department’s
3
budget, and the minor adjustments to appropriations are offset by additional revenue
received by the City. The Other Funds adjustments will be funded by available revenue or
existing fund balances within each distinct fund.
GENERAL FUND
Over the last year, over 6,870 fire incidents occurred throughout the State (Sandalwood,
Saddle Ridge, Kincade, Tick, Getty, and Maria, to a name a few), burning more than 253,321
acres (102,515 hectares) with 732 structures damaged or destroyed and three fatalities.
The State of California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System coordinates resources from
various jurisdictions in California when a local agency is overwhelmed. The Fire Department
responded to multiple mutual aid requests throughout California to assist overwhelmed
jurisdictions with these fires. To date, the City has received $88,816 in mutual aid cost
reimbursements. Staff is requesting appropriation authority as expenses are incurred and
reimbursements are received related to mutual aid fire services for a net neutral impact.
OTHER FUNDS
A technical adjustment is needed to adjust the budget for the Public Services Department
to appropriate $438,535 in the Gas Fund to support street sweeping services. During the
budget adoption process, street sweeping costs were transferred from the General Fund to
the Gas Fund to reduce General Fund spending due to the pandemic. However, due to an
administrative oversight the General Fund was reduced but the increased spending in the
Gas Tax Fund was not addressed. There is sufficient fund balance in the Gas Fund to
support this adjustment and is necessary to maintain core street sweeping services.
The City was awarded a CalRecycle Grant of $28,574 to fund recycling efforts. A budget
adjustment of a commensurate amount is requested to expend the grant funds received.
The City has also received a $50,000 donation from the Costa Mesa Sanitary District to help
offset the Permanent Airway Homeless Shelter construction costs. A commensurate budget
adjustment is requested in the Capital Fund 401 to expend these funds.
The Police Department was awarded $55,550 from the Orange County Corrections
Partnership for the Public Safety Realignment Program (AB109) grant to purchase body
worn cameras. Staff is requesting appropriation of the award amount.
PROPOSED STAFFING REALIGNMENTS
Police Department
The Police Department has 213 full-time, 35 part-time, and 11 contract employees and an
annual operating budget that represents approximately 35 percent of the total General Fund
budget. Staff requests to downgrade one (1) full-time Police Sergeant to a Police Officer
position to address the department’s current staffing and organizational structure needs;
and upgrade one (1) Police Sergeant to a Police Lieutenant position, to meet management
needs as the Field Operations Administration Bureau Commander with direct oversight of
the department’s K-9 Unit, Field Training Program, Community Services Specialists, Front
Desk operations, fleet management, and Patrol Services’ administration, shift deployments,
and scheduling.
4
The proposed staffing realignment has a minimal General Fund fiscal impact of
approximately $5,145, which will be absorbed within the Department’s budget (Attachment
2). There is no change in the total full-time employee count in the Table of Organization.
City Council Department
The City Council Department’s duties include establishing goals and policies, enacting
legislation, adopting the City’s operating and capital budget, and appropriating the funds
necessary to provide services to the City’s residents, businesses and visitors. Staff requests
to consolidate two (2) part-time Management Aide (Confidential) positions to one (1) full-
time Management Analyst (Confidential) position. This will reduce staff turnover as many
part time employees will ultimately seek full time employment. Consolidating two part time
positions into one full time position will also increase staff productivity and efficiency as it
provides more consistent coverage to the City Council while also addressing constituent’s
needs. This change will also help to provide the department with necessary analytical
support given the full transition to six districts in the November 2020 election.
This proposed staffing change has a minimal General Fund fiscal impact of approximately
$7,433, which will be absorbed within the budget (Attachment 2). The reduction of two (2)
part-time positions offsets the increase of one (1) full-time employee position for a net zero
impact to the Table of Organization.
City Manager Department
The City Manager’s Office is currently working on a number of high priority projects,
including addressing the COVID-19 global pandemic and the ensuing fiscal crisis. The
City Manager’s Office oversees various high priority projects that require research and
analysis, responsiveness to the City Council and public, and support to the City’s ten
departments. Many of these duties are required by statute, regulation or policy, while
many others address City Council and community priorities. To help ensure more timely
completion of these projects, additional resources are necessary. The City Manager’s
Office currently has a vacant part-time (0.5) Management Analyst (Confidential) position.
The department is requesting this position be reclassified to a full-time Management
Analyst (Confidential) position to enhance productivity and reduce turnover.
The proposed staffing realignment has a minimal General Fund fiscal impact of
approximately $20,006, which will be absorbed within the budget (Attachment 2). The
reduction of one (0.5) part-time position will be partially offset by an increase of one (1.0)
full-time employee, increasing the total count by 0.5 in the Table of Organization.
Development Services Department
The Development Services Department’s Building Division provides plan review,
permitting and inspection services to ensure compliance with mandatory state building
codes and standards and municipal ordinances related to the construction, modification,
use, and occupancy of private and public buildings and properties. Staff requests to
upgrade one (1) full-time Building Inspector to a Senior Building Inspector position to provide
skilled inspection work in securing compliance with all aspects of building, zoning, and
municipal codes and regulations governing new and existing construction involving any
combination of the following: installation and operation of electrical systems and allied
equipment; plumbing, heating, and mechanical installations; building construction,
alteration, repair; and housing compliance investigation.
5
The Department is also requesting to add one (1) Grant Administrator position to plan,
oversee, and implement grant-funded programs, monitor grant performance, ensure
compliance, and meet complex governmental reporting requirements. These functions are
currently performed primarily by an outside contractor, for which the City spends
approximately $90,000 per year. This contractor provides this critical service for several
Orange County Cities, including Costa Mesa.
To help develop the in-house institutional knowledge and expertise associated with over $1
million in annual Federal grants to the City and reduce reliance on contractors for ongoing
day-to-day work, staff requests the transition of this position to an in-house Grant
Administrator that will work closely with Federal and State grantor agencies to maximize
grant opportunities and funding for the City. A budget adjustment of $35,518 is requested
which can be covered in part by administrative costs allowed by Federal and other grant
funds. There is a net change of 1.0 FTE in the Table of Organization for this adjustment.
Further, a Chief Plans Examiner position’s salary range is requested to retroactively
adjust/update to address a significant compaction issue resulting from an updated Plan
Check Engineer salary approved in July 2019 (Attachment 2a). The proposed change of
$43,174 reflects both the retroactive FY 2019-20 and current year budget impact which will
be absorbed within the budget (Attachment 2).
Information Technology Department
The Information Technology Department is responsible for network administration;
software development and installation; maintenance of hardware and software, including
upgrades and replacements; database management; mobile services; and the support
and oversight of all technology-related products and services for all departments,
including the safety departments. To attract quality applicants for the Information
Technology Department’s critical positions, City Council approval is requested to update
the salary range for the vacant Information Technology Manager position created in 2008
(Attachment 2c); adjust the salary range for the Network Administrator positions (3.0 FTEs)
to reflect the market rate of pay as allowed for in the City’s Memorandum of Understanding
with the CMCEA (Attachment 2a); and, adjust the Computer Operations/Networking
Supervisor (Attachment 2b) positions.
The Information Technology Department’s proposed staffing realignments are partially
funded by the General Fund and IT Replacement Fund (Fund 603), and have a minimal
fiscal impact of approximately $5,644 in the General Fund and $24,277 in IT Replacement
Fund (Attachment 2). There is no change in the total FTE count in the Table of Organization.
FIRE TRUCK ACQUISITION AND LEASE AGREEMENT
The FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget includes an estimated debt service payment for the
acquisition of one fire ladder truck. Staff is requesting City Council approval to enter into a
purchase agreement of one (1) Pierce 102’ Heavy Duty Ladder with 500 GPM pump
mounted on a Pierce Arrow XT custom chassis with South Coast Fire Equipment, Inc., and
authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to enter into any and all documents necessary
to finance the purchase of the fire truck to enhance and modernize public safety and
emergency response.
The annual debt service payment for the lease of the fire truck is included in the FY 2020-
21 Non-Departmental budget. Interest rates fluctuate on a daily basis and final lease
financing rates and costs will be determined prior to the close of escrow. Staff recommends
the lease purchase of the fire truck plus required equipment and fixtures totaling $1.5 million
6
through a ten-year lease agreement. Based on the current estimated interest rate of 1.66
percent, the annual debt service payment is estimated at $161,015. Please note the interest
rate may be subject to change based on market conditions at the time of close of escrow.
City Council authorization is requested to authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to
work with the City Attorney to enter in to a Master Lease Agreement to finance the purchase
of the new apparatus in terms favorable to the City. The new fire truck is expected to be
delivered to the City in late 2022 given the 18-month time required to construct an apparatus
of this type.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not approve the recommended action(s) and direct staff accordingly.

$45,883, Federal Funds of $35,518, and $24,227 in the Information Technology
Fund which will be absorbed within the adopted budget.
