ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6.7
TO: Mayor and Town Council July 6, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 39-2021: approving the 2021/22 Operating Budget and
setting the 2021/22 Appropriation Limit
SUMMARY
The 2021/22 Operating Budget continues to reflect careful financial planning. All
planned services address the Town’s highest priorities. The budget is balanced, prudent
reserves continue to be maintained, and ten-year forecasts show that Danville is holding
to a course that is fiscally sustainable. For 2021/22, total revenues of $38,048,880 are forecast, including $35,774,166 for the
Town and $2,274,714 for the Town Successor Agency. Total operating expenditures of
$34,424,678 are recommended, including $33,249,964 for the Town and $1,174,714 for the
Successor Agency. BACKGROUND The global Coronavirus pandemic and the resultant Health Orders that began in mid-
March 2020 created an immediate and significant financial impact upon the Town.
Danville has operated in a continuous State of Emergency since March 17, 2020. The
pandemic has presented budget planning challenges resulting from ongoing economic
uncertainty and frequently changing state and county directives that impact how, and to
what extent, services can be delivered.
For 2020/21, the Town Council adopted a budget that forecast a net revenue loss of $5
million. Functionally, this has necessitated operating in a much more fluid manner, while
adapting to changing conditions and increasing reliance upon virtual services and
operations. Expenditures and staffing were reduced in all operating departments.
The 2020/21 mid-year budget review showed that these adjustments were effectively
mitigating pandemic-driven fiscal impacts and the Town’s reserves remained intact. Town businesses and the local economy have shown resilience in the face of operating
limitations mandated by health orders. Though significantly impacted, the incidence of
business failure has been limited. Initial concerns that consumers would react to by
eliminating or reducing expenditures have been offset through a shift toward increased
e-commerce. While this has helped to mitigate the fiscal impact upon the Town, it has
accelerated the trend toward online commerce, which continues to pose an existential
threat for all brick and mortar retail businesses.
2021/22 Operating Budget II July 6, 2021
With the arrival of spring 2021, efforts to vaccinate the population were well underway
and state and county health orders had been adjusted to allow for the resumption of
certain indoor Town activities. In March 2021, the State announced that normal business
operations could resume for all sectors on June 15, 2021.
Service Priorities
The mission of the Town Government is to deliver superior municipal services that make
people’s lives better. In order to achieve this mission, we:
keep residents, businesses and property safe.
provide well-maintained public facilities.
protect our environment, preserve our history and retain the special character.
celebrate diversity, dignity and equality for all members of our community.
provide opportunities that support residents’ growth and enrichment.
promote and support economic vitality and growth.
represent and promote Danville’s best interests.
celebrate community through family oriented special events; and
effectively engage and communicate with residents and businesses.
The mission statement has been updated to reflect the value that the Town places upon
celebrating diversity, dignity and equality for all members of our community.
Fiscal Approach
Danville strives for long-term fiscal sustainability through conservative management
practices coupled with cost-effective government operations. Municipal services address
the highest priority needs, and are delivered through an effective combination of Town
personnel, contracted or privatized sources, and partnerships with other entities.
Services are further enhanced through increased use of technology. This approach has
assisted in achieving:
balanced annual budgets with no unfunded liabilities
positive year-end fund balances
annual General Fund transfers to fund high priority capital needs
maintaining appropriate operating and capital reserves; and
sustainable ongoing ten-year forecasts.

2021/22 Highlights A number of significant projects and programs planned for 2021/22 are expected to
contribute significantly to the overall quality of life enjoyed by Danville residents. Economic Development Supporting a vibrant local economy remains a top priority. The Town will continue to
assist and support local businesses in their recovery from the pandemic with efforts such
as the Forward Focus Grant Program and the Business Assistance Program. The Town
will continue to work with the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce and the business
community on efforts and initiatives aimed at promoting businesses locally, sub-
regionally and regionally to strengthen the Danville brand. Partnership for Public Safety The Town strives to work in partnership with our community to protect people, property
and rights for all community members. Community outreach, crime prevention and
enforcement efforts have resulted in reducing property and violent crimes to another all-
time low in 2020; and Danville is consistently ranked among the safest cities in California. In 2021/22, the Town looks to partner with other agencies to explore ways of improving
crisis response for individuals and families that may be suffering from mental health
challenges. This would help meet a growing community need and lessen dependence
upon law enforcement to act as the primary responders for all mental health calls.
2021/22 Operating Budget IV July 6, 2021
Parks, Recreation and Arts Strategic Plan
Efforts continue to implement recommendations focused on enhancing cultural arts
programming, public art, mobile recreation, and expanding trail networks in Danville. Downtown Parking The Town has continuously worked to increase the supply of public parking to support
an economically viable downtown. Over the past three years the Town has invested
approximately $16 million on parking infrastructure including the Rose Street and
Village Theatre Municipal parking lots and the San Ramon Valley High School student
parking lot expansion completed in partnership with the SRVUSD. Transportation and Mobility Street and Pavement Maintenance – Maintaining our public streets continues to be a high
Town priority, with a total of $6.5 million in new expenditures planned over the next two
fiscal years to re-surface various residential streets and arterial roadways. The Town
continues to meet the goal of maintaining a minimum Town-wide Pavement Condition
Index (PCI) of 70. The most recent survey of Town streets shows that the Town’s current
PCI is 81.
Traffic Operations and Mobility – Replacement of aging traffic signal infrastructure began
in 2020 and will continue over the next three years. This involves replacing traffic signal
controllers and detection systems to better accommodate vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian
mobility and safety. Future bicycle facility improvements and safety enhancements will
be identified and prioritized based on the findings of the Townwide Bicycle Master Plan.
La Gonda Way Bridge Replacement – Design work is continuing to replace the decades-old
La Gonda Way Bridge, at Danville Boulevard. The new bridge will be wider to better
accommodate pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic. The project will be 88.5% funded
through a federal grant. Construction is targeted to occur within the next four years.
Diablo Road Trail – Design and environmental work are underway to construct a multi-
purpose asphalt walking and biking trail connecting Diablo Road west of Alameda
Diablo with Blackhawk Road. This trail will provide a critical bicycle and pedestrian link
to the center of Town. Plans call for the Town to construct the 3,500 foot western segment
of the trail, with Davidon Homes constructing the eastern segment through the Magee
Preserve project and connecting to Blackhawk Road. Construction of this trail segment
will allow for completion of a vital link that has been planned for over 30 years.
San Ramon Creek Pedestrian Foot Bridge at Danville Green – The recently completed
construction of the new pedestrian/bicycle bridge which crosses San Ramon Creek and
links Diablo Road to the Town Green and Library is the initial step in implementing the
Town Green Master Plan approved in 2019. This pedestrian and bicycle connection will
provide improved downtown access for non-motorized travelers and will connect the
new Riverwalk development to the Town Green.
2021/22 Operating Budget V July 6, 2021
Facilities
Town Office Relocation – In 2021/22, the Danville Town Offices and Police Department
will relocate to 500 La Gonda Way, next door to the current Town Offices. This newer,
larger building will provide a long term, permanent solution to housing these Town
facilities while providing additional public use space.
Town-wide Storm Drain Improvements - Improvements are planned for areas impacted by
the 2017 winter storms, including Westridge Avenue, Loch Lomond Way, Starview Drive
and Pulido Road. Design phase is at 90% and awaiting approval from outside agencies.
2021/22 Operating Budget Summary The 2021/22 Operating Budget continues to focus on the Town’s highest priorities. The
budget is balanced, reserves funding for capital projects, and maintains strong reserves.
Table 2 illustrates the effects of the pandemic upon budgeted revenues and expenditures.
With recovery expected to begin in 2021/22, forecast revenues are equivalent to 2018/19
levels while recommended expenditures are at levels equivalent to 2019/20.

Operating Exp. $32,945,781 $33,227,071 $34,211,482 $30,978,161 $33,249,964 Revenues Total revenues of $38,048,880 are forecast, including $35,774,166 for the Town and
$2,274,714 for the Successor Agency. Town revenues include $26,210,144 for the General
Fund and $9,564,022 in Special Purpose revenues. General Fund General Fund revenues are forecast to total $26,210,144, up 9.4% from 2020/21. Property
Tax, Sales Tax, Recreation Fees and Franchise Fees account for 92.2% of General Fund
revenues. For 2021/22, the General Fund accounts for 73.2% of Town revenues.
• Property Tax is forecast to total $15,200,000 (58.0% of total G.F. revenues), up 4.8%
from 2020/21. Although the Town receives only 7.6% of total Property Taxes paid by
Danville property owners, the continued appreciation in property values has
accounted for significant growth in Property Tax.
2021/22 Operating Budget VI July 6, 2021
• Sales Tax is forecast to total $5,250,000 (20.0% of total G.F. revenues), up 21.0% from
2020/21. This reflects significant economic recovery from the prior year but remains
well short of the $5,947,752 received in 2018/19. Sales Tax includes the 1% local
business share plus the Town’s share of the County Sales Tax Pool (which now
represents approximately 28% of the Town’s total Sales Tax).
• Recreation Fees and Charges are forecast to total $1,500,001, up 11.0% from 2020/21. This
continues to be the revenue sources most significantly impacted by the pandemic. The
forecast falls well short of the $2,531,713 collected in 2018/19. Offsetting expenditure
reductions will continue in place until further recovery allows for full restoration of
services.
• Franchise Fees are forecast to total $2,222,254, down 2.6% from 2020/21. This forecast
reflects reduced consumption of utility company produced electricity and reduced
Cable TV revenues.
• All Other General Fund Revenues are forecast to total $2,037,889, up 37.1% from
2020/21. Economic recovery is reflected in the forecasts for revenues such as Transient
Occupancy Tax, Business License Tax, Property Transfer Tax and Interest Income. Special Purpose Revenue Special Purpose revenues are forecast to total $9,564,122, up 17.9% from 2020/21
revenues of $8,112,057. Major revenues include Lighting and Landscape assessments,
Building and Planning fees, Gas Tax, Solid Waste Vehicle Impact Fees, Measure J Return
to Source funds and Clean Water assessments, which collectively account for 94.9% of the
Town’s Special Purpose revenues.
• Lighting and Landscape Assessment District revenues are forecast to total $3,129,750.
Revenue growth is flat due to negligible development and fixed assessments.
• Building and Planning revenues are forecast to total $2,153,200, up 20.5% from 2020/21.
Building permit activity and construction has remained robust despite the
Coronavirus pandemic and other related economic impacts.
• Gas Tax (Highway Users Tax) revenues are forecast to total $1,664,828. While this
represents a 71.8% increase from 2020/21, the forecast continues to fall well short of
the $1,897,802 actually received in 2019/20. Gas Tax funds continue to be critical to
the Town’s ability to perform ongoing public streets and road maintenance.
• Solid Waste Vehicle Impact Fees are forecast to total $846,851, up 44.8% from 2020/21.
The increase is due to the rate increase enacted for 2020. These revenues help to offset
the impacts upon Town streets attributable to solid waste and recycling collection
vehicles, and are committed to the Town’s annual Pavement Management Program.
• Measure J Return to Source revenues are forecast to total $710,139, up 23.2% from
2020/21. Like Gas Tax, the increase is magnified by the significant decrease forecast
for the prior year, and falls well short of the $929,061 received in 2019/20.
• Clean Water Assessment revenues are forecast to total $572,700, a negligible decrease
from prior year due to slightly lower interest earnings.
2021/22 Operating Budget VII July 6, 2021
Expenditures
For 2021/22, total operating expenditures of $34,424,678 are recommended, including
$33,249,964 for the Town and $1,174,714 for the Successor Agency.
Town Operating Expenditures Recommended operating expenditures total $33,249,964, up 7.3% from 2020/21.

• Police Services expenditures total $10,806,192, up 6.6%, from 2020/21. The increase is
attributable to increased contract costs and restoration of funding for temporary
salary expenses that were reduced for 2020/21.
• Administrative Services expenditures total $3,954,123, up 4.1% from 2020/21. The
increase is largely attributable to restoration of Asset Replacement expenditures
which were eliminated entirely in 2020/21
• Development Services expenditures total $4,954,302, up 30.2% from 2020/21. The
increase restores expenditures that were reduced by $1.1 million for 2020/21, and are
largely attributable to one-time costs associated with Housing Element preparation,
restoration of staffing vacancies and increased contract plan check services in
Building. Development Services is 76.2% funded through Special Purpose Revenue.
• Maintenance Services expenditures total $8,001,658, up 8.7% from 2020/21. The
increase is largely attributable to increased utility and contract costs in Building, Parks
and Roadside Maintenance, and restoration of staffing vacancies including,
temporary salary costs. Maintenance Services is 69.8% funded through Special
Purpose Revenue.
• Recreation, Arts and Community Services expenditures total $3,588,144, down 10.7%
from 2020/21. Significant program and service reductions continue due to the
pandemic. As discussed at the Budget Study Sessions, if economic and program
recovery outpace budget forecasts, it will be necessary to consider mid-year increases
to department expenditures. The forecast cost recovery rate for the Sports and Fitness,
Facilities Management, Cultural Arts, Youth, Teens, Adults and Seniors programs is
estimated to be 41.9% for the year. Total 2021/22 operating expenditures are allocated 40.0% for Contracted Services, 37.6%
for Employee Expenses, 11.1% for Program Activities and 11.3% for Temporary Salaries,
Administration, Materials, Supplies and Equipment.

landscaping, and public parks and buildings. Annual property assessments set pursuant
2021/22 Operating Budget VIII July 6, 2021
to Proposition 218 are combined with transfers from the General Fund to fund LLAD
operations. Assessments are set at fixed rates with no escalator and were last increased
in 2003. LLAD expenditures are for operations, capital, asset replacement and overhead. Table 3

2021/22 Operating Budget IX July 6, 2021
Staffing and Employee Costs
The Town workforce includes regular employees, contract employees (sworn police
officers) from the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office, and temporary part-time
employees. Economic impacts resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic have required
the Town to operate with reduced staffing levels. Table 4 illustrates authorized (budget)
versus actual staffing based upon total full time equivalent (FTE) positions. Table 4
Town Staffing – Total FTEs
2020/21 2020/21 2021/22 2021/22

Regular Staff 95.25 83.25 92.25 88.25
Contract Staff (Police) 30.00 28.00 30.00 29.00
P.T. Temporary Staff 36.00 24.00 35.75 28.75
TOTAL 161.25 135.25 158.00 146.00
For 2021/22, staffing is recommended to be reduced from 161.25 to 158.5. Actual staffing
will continue to be less for all three categories until economic recovery allows additional
positions to be re-filled. Employee expenses of $12,499,923 include restoring positions, a
merit-based salary increase, and updating employee salary ranges, last adjusted in 2018. Town employees receive a 401k defined contribution pension and no Town-funded
retirement medical benefits. The Town has no unfunded pension or other post-
employment benefit liabilities.
Adoption of Resolution No 39-2021 will re-set salary ranges for all employee
classifications. In accordance with SB 1436, passed by the State in August 2016, prior to
taking final action on the Operating Budget, the Town Council shall orally provide a
summary of any change in salaries, salary schedules or fringe benefits for the Town
Manager, City Attorney or any department heads. In compliance with SB 1436, the
following changes are incorporated into the Town Employee Salary Schedule for
2021/22:
• the salary range for the Assistant Town Manager is set at $11,952 to $16,374.
• the salary range for all department heads is set at $10,840 to $14,852
• the salary range for the Deputy Town Manager is set at $8,631 to $11,824 There are no changes to fringe benefits for any employees and there are no changes in
compensation of any kind for the Town Manager or City Attorney. For the positions
listed, only the salary ranges are changed. Any actual increase in compensation will be
determined under the Town’s Pay for Performance system, there are no automatic
increases or cost of living adjustments.
2021/22 Operating Budget X July 6, 2021
Ten-Year Forecasts
Ten-year forecasts are updated annually to assist with planning for and ensuring on-
going sustainability of service delivery. In addition to the immediate impact upon the
Town’s 2020/21 Budget, the Coronavirus pandemic significantly affected the Ten-Year
Forecasts by re-setting and reducing the base year for both revenues and expenditures.
Initial estimates also forecast a recovery period of up to four-years. Fortunately, the mid-
year 2020/21 review and subsequent forecast updates done preparatory to the draft
2021/22 Budget indicates that economic recovery is expected to occur sooner. Revenues
Forecasts project a 17.0% increase in total revenues, from $35,774,166 in 2021/22 to
$41,870,310 in 2030/31. General Fund revenues increase by 18.4%, from $26,210,144 to
$31,028,430; Special Purpose revenues increase by 13.4% from $9,564,022 to $10,841,880.
Successor Agency revenues continue to offset the recognized obligations of the Agency.
Projections assume no increases in current LLAD assessments, Police funds (SLESF,
Abandoned Vehicle Abatement or Asset Seizure), Clean Water revenues or Donations. Recovery-wise, Property Tax growth remains strong, and Sales Tax, Gas Tax and
Measure J Return to Source revenues return to pre-COVID levels within 2 years.
Recreation Fees and Charges recover by year three and other revenues recover sooner.
Operating Expenditures
Operating expenditures increase 26.1%, from $33,249,964 in 2021/22 to $41,936,577 in
2030/31 equivalent to 2.6% annually. Successor Agency expenditures decrease by 38.7%
from $1,174,714 to $720,369, as the 2001 Certificates of Participation are retired in 2026/27.
Transfers and Designations
Forecasts project average annual General Fund transfers of $1,412,954 for Capital,
including Pavement Management, CIP General Purpose and Asset Replacement; and
$1,197,224 for LLAD operations. Revenues of $1,100,000 annually through 2024/25, and
$659,401 in 2025/26 are included for repayment of the outstanding loan to the Town by
the former Community Development Agency. This loan is fully repaid by 2025/26. The ten-year forecast shows that current Town operations are sustainable for several
more years. With rising contract and utility costs, the Town will need to evaluate LLAD
operations and ask property owners for an increase in assessments within the next 3-4
years. LLAD assessments have been set at a fixed rate with no escalator since 2003.
2021/22 Operating Budget XI July 6, 2021
2021/22 Appropriation Limit
The Town Council is statutorily required to adopt an annual limit which fixes the amount
of general tax revenue that can be appropriated in the upcoming fiscal year. The limit is
adjusted annually based upon factors provided by the State Department of Finance, and
any excess revenue must be returned to the taxpayers.
The Town Council annually chooses between the population growth within either the
Town, or Contra Costa County as a whole. The selected growth factor is then multiplied
by the annual growth in California per capita income to arrive at the total annual
adjustment factor. For 2021/22, population growth is 0.15% within Danville, and 0.35%
within Contra Costa County; annual growth in California per capita income is 5.73%.
Multiplying population growth within Contra Costa County by the annual growth in
California per capita income results in a total growth factor of 1.0610%. Increasing the
2020/21 appropriation limit by 6.10% results in a 2021/22 appropriation limit of
$46,349,240.
FY 2021/22 General Fund revenues are forecast to total $26,210,144 of which $22,185,561
is subject to the Proposition 111 appropriation limit. Town revenues subject to
Proposition 111 are well below the appropriation limit and no Proposition 111 constraints
are projected in the ten-year financial forecast.

SUMMARY
Despite the significant negative fiscal impacts associated with the Coronavirus pandemic,
the Town’s overall financial condition continues to be positive. The 2021/22 Budget is
balanced, while providing quality municipal services that address the highest priority
community needs. Recommended capital projects are funded with no debt, and
appropriate operating and capital reserves are maintained.
