Fiscal Policy: Points to Ponder
There are cities across the country that would be envious of our City
this year. For the first time in our young City's history, our annual
budget has surpassed the $100 million mark. This year, our budget
reflects a strong economy and an unprecedented 8% increase over last
year's budget. (It's too bad we're not on the stock exchange, we'd be a
great investment!)
On the other hand, this prosperity brings a need for many decisions.
We are at a pivotal place right now in Santa Clarita. We have evolved
from a traditional municipality that provides traditional city services,
to a more "full service" city, providing non-traditional city services. As
an example, our City has provided funding of more than $3 million in
cultural arts over the past three years. Senior services receive an
annual allocation of more than $400,000.x• Additionally, the City has
invested significant resources toward schools, totaling over $12
million over the past 12 years, averaging almost $1 million a year.
The percentage of the City's budget that is being dedicated to social and
cultural service oriented programming continues to increase every year.
We are fortunate in Santa Clarita that we have been financially able to
provide funding for social and cultural services -oriented programming
and services. However, we must be vigilant and continue to provide the
municipal services for which our City was incorporated. Traditional
"brick and mortar" projects, building new roadways, maintaining
existing roadways, preserving open space, building new parks,
improving traffic circulation, etc. are our core functions and need to be
the highest priorities on our list.
While the City has traditionally balanced the demands for social and
cultural service oriented programming with traditional brick and
mortar projects, it is important to recognize that each year these
programs and projects are competing for the same monies. While
several non-profit agencies and groups request funding for these
services, at the same time there is significant demand for projects such
as new roads, the expansion of Central Park, the build -out of the Sports
Complex, the acquisition of open space and as a parking structure at
City Hall. With limited resources available, evaluating these requests
each year becomes more and more difficult based on these increasing
demands that are outside our core functions.
2
Attached to this letter is a list of potential budget additions that have
come up throughout the budget process. Each item includes a brief
narrative and recommendation. Additionally, staff has evaluated the
various options and provided the Council with several funding options.
As our population continues to grow, with it will come the need for more
services, parks, roads, recreational facilities, trails, etc. It is important
that we plan now for the provision of these services well into the future,
which includes planning for public facilities as well as programs and
services. Poor planning for these facilities could cost our City a great
future.
I would like to suggest a policy discussion with the City Council to
formalize a direction and strategy to prioritize our service obligations
and resources, as well discuss the process for various non-profit and/or
agencies requesting funding. In this way, we can work towards
balancing the needs of our City for the next several years.

Description/Recommendation of Budget Additions
L Cultural Arts Agency
$106,000
Description: Implement a City Cultural Arts Agency. The Agency would promote,
support, and develop arts and culture for the benefit of citizens, arts organizations, and
artists in the Santa Clarita Valley. This agency should strive to be self-sustaining.
Recommendation: Based on the investment made over the past few years it is
recommended that the position be approved.
2. Enterprise Position (Grants)
$70,000+
Description: This position would be dedicated to researching, writing and obtaining
Parks, Recreation and Community Services grant funding. There are currently three
positions on City staff who spend much of their time pursuing such grants.
Recommendation: It is recommended that existing staff continue to focus their efforts
on pursuing grant funding. Additionally, it is recommended that the proposed Cultural
Arts Coordinator and the Special Projects section supplement these efforts.
3. Active Park Space (additional field space)
$2,000,000
Description: There continues to be a great demand for sports fields within the City.
While the City has increased the number of park acres by more than b0% over the past
year, there continues to be significant demand for additional space. There are several
options to continue the City's efforts in addressing the shortfall:
• Add funding for two more sports fields, bringing the total to four in fiscal year 2000-01.
The estimated cost of this option ranges from $243.6 million.
Pursue annexation of the undeveloped Plum Canyon Park site. This option includes a
contribution from the County of approximately $1,000,000 for development. The
estimated cost to develop this park site is $2,000, $1,000,000
site is currently in the
unincorporated area of the County.
Seek vacant land in the Eastside of the City to provide additional sports fields to the
Canyon Country community. City staff is currently investigating this option and i
potential costs. ts
Recommendation: City Council discuss all three options and provide direction on which
option to pursue for Fiscal Year 2000-20001.
4. One additional PLAY site
Desc t'
$20,000
np ion. Elementary after-school drop-in program. Provides three hours of
structured daily recreational activities. The City currentlyh-
s as one site, with a second
proposed in the Fiscal Year 2000-2001 budget. This addition would bring the total to 3
sites, at a total ongoing cost of $60,000.
Recommendation: This program continues the City's expansion into social services, as
well as in direct competition with private service providers. Funding for this program is
available. If the Council chooses to fund an additional site, it is recommended that a
discussion ensue that addresses the long-term policy of the City in this area.
5. Acquisition of Open Space $2,000,000
Description: The issue of open space continues to be a top priority for the City. The City
is currently in the process of finalizing an open space strategy to assist in the acquisition
and maintenance of open space throughout Santa Clarita. The Council has requested that
$2,000,000 in funding be set-aside for the future acquisition of open space.
Recommendation: Staff has identified $2,000,000 in potential funding for this budget
request. In order to fund this request, $1,000,000 from the Elsmere Reserve, as well as
$1,000,000 in Proposition 12 monies would be allocated toward this project.
6. VIDA Program $15,000
Description: Targets high-risk youth throughout Santa Clarita and provides skills
training, educational assistance, and counseling services. Currently the Sheriffs
Department operates this program at the Passport Academy School.
Recommendation: Staff has identified $16,000 for operating expenses and counseling
services within year-end saving that could be allocated toward this program.
7. CIT— Every 18 Minutes Program
$25,000
Description: This is an interactive program that involves teens at local high schools. The
emphasis is on drinking and driving and driving safety. Currently, this program is rotated
to one high school each year. Additional funding would expand the program to one
additional high school each year, for a total of two per year.
Recommendation: It is recommended that this program be included in the Fiscal Year
2000-2001 budget. Funding for this program will be provided through current fiscal year
budget savings.
8. Sand Canyon Trail $800,000
Description: A trails study was completed in late 1999. The study identified a safe
pedestrian and equestrian trial pathway. A request was made to begin construction of this
trail.
Recommendation: It is staffs recommendation that a consultant be hired to implement
a "back -bone" trails program. Funds would be allocated to initiate alignment and
acquisition of necessary land from Sand Canyon Road to Robinson Ranch and the length of
Sand Canyon from Placenta Canyon Road to the Santa Clara River. Funding for this
project would come from available TDA article 3 and SLTPP monies.
9. Placerita Canyon Trail
$300,000
Description: Community trail mapping study project. The goals of the study is to identify
a "back -bone" trail connecting Hart Park with Placerita Canyon area.
Recommendation: It is staffs recommendation that a consultant be hired to initiate
phase I trail study, which coincides with the general plan for Placerita Canyon. Funds for
this project would come from available TDA article 3 and SLTPP monies.
10. Saugus Vail and Paseo Bridge
$2,000,000
Description: The. City Council directed staff to conduct a comprehensive study of4the`
Bouquet Corridor that includes looking at the potential trail and paseo bridge, as well
several other critical aspects of Bouquet Canyon.
Recommendation: There is currently $140,000 in the proposed Capital Budget to
conduct this study, as well as solicit community input on the project. It is recommended
that the Council provide direction on the study and hold off on funding the trail and paseo
bridge until such time the study is complete.
11. Pleasantoiem Industries
$150,000
Description: Pleasantview Industries approached the City Council requesting a $150,000
contribution toward capital improvement to their facility. This facility provides services to
disabled adults.
Recommendation: The City currently has a process that allocates funds to capital
projects such as this request. Several agencies approach the City each year for funding
such as the Child and Family Development Center, Santa Clarita Valley Community
Development Corporation (Homeless Shelter), and Aid to Victims of Domestic Violence. To
date the City has been effective in creating a fair process for these agencies to acquire
funding. It is staffs recommendation that consistent with other agencies, this project be
referred to the CDBG grant process, which begins in December 2000. Funding of this
project outside of that process could be considered unfair to the other agencies. An option
to the City Council is to augment the existing level of funding available to allow more grant
funding to be available to the requesting agencies.
12. Capital Grant for the Arta
$250,000
Description: As part of the Cultural Arts Master Plan several recommendations for
planning and funding were developed. Over the past few years the City has focused
significant resources toward the items contained in that report.
Recommendation: The City has committed over $3 million in funding for capital
improvements related to the arts. Additionally, the City is proposing to add a cultural arts
coordinator to guide the development and activities of arts throughout Santa Clarita.
Given the investments made to date, as well as the proposed position, it is recommended
that City Council not provide additional funding at this time for capital.
13. Golden Valley Road Environmental and Alignment Study $500,000
Description: Council directed staff to work on expediting Golden Valley Road connection
to Newhall Ranch.
Recommendation: Direct staff to continue working with the Count on allocating
$500,000 of County B & T funds to begin the environmental and alignment study on that
segment of Golden Valley Road. : _ I --
14. Crossing Guards
$50,000
Description: The City currently provides crossing guards at several locations; however,
Sulphur Springs School District does not currently have any crossing guards. When the
crossing guard program first began, crosswalks near Sulpher Springs did not meet the
warrants to be included. It has been City policy since the early 1990's that no additional
crossing guards be funded by the City; however, the City has provided the Districts with
the option of contracting such services with the City — at cost. Sulpher Springs would like
the City to provide them with crossing guard services at no charge.
Recommendation: Providing such additional services at no charge has the potential of
opening the discussion for all schools. A possible solution is to add $50,000 to the budget,
and direct staff to negotiate an agreement with all School Districts and finalize the issue.
15. Veteran's Memorial $25,000
Description: Matching funds have been requested to help construct a Veteran's Memorial
in Newhall. This money would be used to offset potential grant funding from the State.
Recommendation: The City Council had previous set a policy that they would match up
to $40,000 for the Veteran's Memorial. To date only $1600 has been raised for this effort -
this level may be indicative of the level of citizen support for the memorial. It is
recommended that City Council maintain its position to match up to $40,000 toward the
Memorial.
16. Diaper Recycling $2500000
Description: This item requests implementation of a diaper recycling program in the City
of Santa Clarita. The $250,000 amount is half of the purchase price for a machine that will
process the diapers into waste and recyclable material. Assemblyman George Runner is
securing an additional $250,000 through the state budget process for the other half of the
purchase price.
The concept of diaper recycling appears to provide benefits in the area of waste reduction.
At this time, diaper recycling is in the experimental phases. Therefore, without additional
information, the true benefits can not be realized. In order to determine the opportunities
presented by diaper recycling, a study could be conducted to obtain more information.
Recommendation: City Council provide staff with direction.
17. Santa Clarita Symphony
Description: Funding has been requested for the Santa Clarita Symphony.
Recommendation: The City has an existing Community Services Grant program that
includes an Arts component. Funding this group outside of that process could be
considered unfair to the groups that compete through the grant process. It is
recommended this group be referred to participate in that program. As an option, the City
Council can direct how the $150,000 is to be allocated between the different issues and can
dedicate a large portion of the grant program to such programs.
18. International Film Festival
$170,000
Description: The City has received a request to fund the International Film Festival.
This item has been requested several times over the past years.
Recommendation: The City has an existing Community Services Grant program that
includes an Arts component. Funding this group outside of that process could be
considered unfair to the groups that compete through the grant process. It is
recommended this group be referred to participate in that program. As an option, the City
Council can direct how the $150,000 is to be allocated between the different issues and can
dedicate a large portion of the grant program to such programs.
19. Senior Center Dial -a -Ride
$55,000
Description: The Senior Center and City entered into a MOU for senior related transit
services. The MOU provides the Senior Center with $50,000 to help offset the cost of
services as well as administration. At this time, the Senior Center is requesting an
additional $35,000 to offset grant funding as well as administrative costs.
Recommendation: The City currently provides in excess of $400,000 annually to the
Senior Center for various services. Additionally, the City waived approximately $1,000,000
in fees, at the request of the Senior Center, to assist in the development of the Bouquet
Seniors project. At that time, the Senior Center indicated that no additional funding would
be requested of the City. It is recommended that the Council provide funding for this
program in the amount of $35,000; however, direct staff to evaluate the MOU for potential
performance measures as well as modifications that will enhance the level of service.
