Subject: 6/12/12 Meeting Consent Item Contracts: 47% Cost Overruns
Dear Commissioners,
In reviewing the board meeting agenda for 6/12/12, I am deeply concerned about the
amount of cost overruns requested for approval on the consent agenda. On a
cumulative base contract amount of approximately $2,476,400, there is a requested
approval for a overruns of $1,157,600 representing an overall 47% increase.
I would request that you specifically question the reasons and justification for each of
these significant increases rather than simply approve the consent agenda without
discussion.
The following consent agenda contracts approximate amounts are as follows;

In an era when the Port is wrestling with how to come up with slightly over a million

meeting when other similar contract overruns were approved.
Your investigation of this situation would be appreciated.
Sincerely,

Update on Fireworks Permitting
The purpose of this memo is to update you regarding fireworks displays in San Diego Bay.
History
At the January 10, 2012 Board of Port Commissions meeting, you directed staff to:
1) Decline the tenants' request for the District to be the sole National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit holder for all fireworks displays on San Diego Bay
2) Investigate the feasibility of assisting tenants desiring fireworks displays through a contract
between the District and a third party, such as an events management or fireworks
company. The premise is that the third party would obtain the NPDES permit and assume
the liabilities associated therewith and the District could provide monetary sponsorship to
decrease tenant costs
3) Continue to work with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) regarding
potential future monitoring requirements
4) Return to the Board with the results of staff's research and a recommendation for
proceeding
Meeting with Tenants and Fireworks Companies
Staff spoke with a number of tenants whose events include fireworks displays to obtain more
details on their current approaches to NPDES permitting. The tenants surveyed were the USS
Midway, the Hyatt, the Marriott and the San Diego Symphony, which annually occupies
Embarcadero Marina Park South under a Tidelands Use & Occupancy Permit from the District.
The Midway, Hyatt and Marriott place the responsibility for arranging for and obtaining permits
for fireworks displays on their event customers, while the Symphony obtains its own NPDES
Docs #524054

Subject: Update on Fireworks Permitting
permit annually for the fireworks displays that it conducts following its Summer Pops
performances.
Staff also met with representatives of Fireworks America and Pyre Spectaculars, the two
fireworks companies that provide nearly all of the fireworks displays on the bay. The purpose of
the meetings was to discuss those companies' NPDES permitting approach to determine the
feasibility of using a third party to produce and be the NPDES permitee for all fireworks displays
on San Diego Bay.
Fireworks America currently has an NPDES permit to conduct fireworks displays. When hired by
an event organizer, Fireworks America arranges to have the event organizer listed as a copermitee under the NPDES permit for the event only, thus potentially reducing long-term liability.
Pyre Spectaculars places the responsibility of obtaining NPDES permits for fireworks shows
with their customers.
Audit of Big Bay Boom
District audit staff conducted an audit of the Port of San Diego July 41h Big Bay Boom fireworks
show, which receives funding through the District's Marketing Sponsorship Program. As you
may be aware, the District provided funding to the 2011 Big Bay Boom July 4th fireworks show in
the amount of $145,000 to use toward the cost of the barges and pyrotechnics. Additional
services provided by the District, such as Harbor Police, Traffic Enforcement Officers, and
General Services support, cost the District between $30,000 and $50,000 annually. According
to the documents reviewed as part of the audit, the combined cost for the barges and
pyrotechnics for the July 4, 2011 show was $156,450. The producer of the event, H.P. Sandy
Purdon incurs over $140,000 in additional costs for fundraising, environmental administration
and permits, insurance, legal, patrol vessel strobes/banners, event advertising, and other
permits. He also received approximately $200,000 in sponsorship funding and services that
provided for print and electronic advertising, television coverage and radio simulcast of the
event.
Meeting with Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation
Due to the ongoing environmental issues associated with fireworks displays, staff also met with
attorney Marco Gonzalez of the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation (CERF) to discuss
his specific concerns regarding fireworks displays and what, if anything, could be done to
mitigate the impacts of fireworks displays.
CERF is concerned about protecting the water and sediment quality of San Diego Bay. CERF
would like the District to research what, if any, alternatives exist for fireworks that do not cause a
discharge of chemicals and debris into the Bay. Alternatives could include different chemical
composition of the fireworks by eliminating heavy metals, relocating the fireworks to land, and
also the use of indoor fireworks, which generate less smoke and eliminate discharges. Finally,
CERF would like to see enhanced best management practices that prevent any debris from
entering the Bay.
It is CERF's contention that in order to ensure the long-term protection of the bay and its natural
resources, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should be completed that would study
impacts caused by fireworks to the water and sediment quality, nesting shorebirds, humans
walking through nesting colonies to view shows, as well as, noise and traffic impacts. Staff and
SDUPD Docs No. 524054

Subject: Update on Fireworks Permitting
the Port Attorney's office will continue to work to ensure that proper environmental review is
conducted.
Environmental Advisory Committee
Per a request from Commissioner Burdick, the District's Environmental Advisory Committee
(EAC), at its April 17, 2012 meeting, heard a presentation by Mr. Purdon about his best
management practices used during the Big Bay Boom event to reduce or eliminate impacts to
the Bay. CERF and staff from the RWQCB were also invited to speak, but did not due to lack of
time. Commissioner Burdick has since requested that the RWQCB make a presentation
regarding its perspectives on water monitoring under the current NPDES permit at a future EAC
meeting.
Next Steps
The Big Bay Boom is rated as one of the top twenty fireworks shows in the U.S. and has
tremendous marketing and revenue generating value to the District, tenants and the public.
Marketing & Communications staff is researching other fireworks shows across the nation to
determine the potential costs, responsible parties, roles and the procurement processes related
to these shows in order to analyze the cost and risks versus benefits of soliciting a new third
party producer. Staff will continue to evaluate cost estimates and explore third-party options.
Staff intends to return to the Board in October with a recommendation regarding the feasibility of
a solicitation for production of a fireworks show. Staff is also continuing to follow any new
developments pertaining to potential future monitoring of fireworks shows required by the
RWQCB and will continue to keep you apprised in this regard.

~~-
At the June 12, 2012 Board meeting, staff will be recommending adoption of the Final
Budget. Following is a summary of the budget process to date:
•
•
•
From April 16 through April 23, staff provided Preliminary Budget briefings to
Commissioners. During the briefings, Commissioners asked staff to provide a
variety of information which was provided to the Board in a memo dated April 27,
2012 (Attachment A).
Additionally, at the Preliminary Budget Workshop,
Commissioners asked staff to provide three options for balancing the budget
(Attachment B).
On April 30, 2012, the Board held a Preliminary Budget Workshop. At the
Workshop, Commissioner Burdick asked staff to revise staff's recommendation
concerning use of the Environmental Fund to balance the budget. Commissioner
Burdick asked staff to identify $2.0M in environmental-related projects and
activities in the FY 12/13 Budget for funding from the Environmental Fund. Staff
has implemented this request in the Final Budget.
At the Workshop,
Commissioners asked staff to provide a variety of information which was
provided to the Board in a memo dated May 4, 2012 (Attachment C).
On May 8, 2012, the Board adopted the Preliminary Budget. At the Board
meeting, Commissioner Burdick asked staff to revise staff's recommendation
concerning use of Public Art Fund money to balance the budget. Rather than
use $1M from the Public Art Fund to balance the budget, Commissioner Burdick
asked staff to recommend a one-year reduction in the annual deposit to the
Public Art Fund, reducing the annual deposit from $1.2M to $.2M and using the
$1M difference to balance the budget. Staff has implemented this request in the
Final Budget. At the Board meeting, Commissioner Nelson also asked staff to
provide a list of non-personnel expenses totaling $1M that could be cut from the
FY 12/13 Budget to balance the budget rather than reducing the annual deposit
to the Public Art Fund. In response to Commissioner Nelson's request, staff has
prepared a list of non-personnel expenses totaling $1M (Attachment D). The $1M
list is derived from the original list of $3. ?M in non-personnel expenses that was
provided to the Board at the April 30 Preliminary Budget Workshop
(Attachment E).

Adoption of the Final Budget
Staff's recommendation for the Final Budget will be as follows:
(1)
(2)
(3)
Use $2.0M from the Environmental Fund to fund environmental-related
projects and activities in the FY 12/13 Budget.
Waive Board Policy 609 (Public Art) and reduce the annual deposit to the
Public Art Fund from $1.2M to $0.2M and use the $1.0M difference to balance
the Budget.
Use $0.7M from the projected surplus for the current fiscal year to balance
the Budget.
As mentioned in staff's Preliminary Budget presentation, staff does not recommend that
the Board make any further cuts to non-personnel expenses because the budgeted
expenditures are for essential projects, services, and activities related to
accomplishment of the Port's strategic goals.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email or call me at (619) 686-6423.

Commissioner Questions from FY12/13 Budget Briefings
8
During the Budget Briefings, Board members asked a variety of questions about the
FY12/13 Preliminary Budget. Below are the questions and responses as discussed in the
individual briefings:
•
Section 1, Page 39, two similar projects treated differently: Navy Pier West
End Fender Pile & Whaler Repair and Navy Pier South - Side Fender Pile &
Whaler Demolition - why is one . capitalized and the other in Major
Maintenance Expense?
The repair project is actually replacing fender ·piles and is being capitalized in
accordance with our capitalization guidelines because it is extending the useful
life of an asset, while the demolition project is removing and disposing of the
wooden tendering structure on the south side of the pier which is broken and has
no use with the USS Midway at it's present location.
•
Section 2, Page 8, what is APCD?
We have a prepaid balance with the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) for a
truck retrofit program. The expense line item in the budget is to allow for the
expense recognition at the time the trucks take advantage of the retrofit program
with APCD: It is anticipated that some trucks will be retrofitted by the end of the
fiscal year.
\
•
Section 2, Page 15, there is a budget for a 7-12 passenger van, most
agencies lease these type of items, would that be better than purchasing?
Maritime staff is working with General Services/Procurement to determine the
cost/benefit of leasing vs. buying. If leasing is determined to be more cost
effective, barring other considerations, staff will recommend leasing the van.
•
Section 2, Page 17, Cruise Security costs are going up, but cruise calls are
projected to remain flat?
This is a pass through expense to the cruise lines. Actual cost of security
services from our provider are going up, but we receive reimbursement from the
lines for this expense, plus 15% for administration.
Attachment A
Page 2 of 8
April 27, 2012
Subject: Commissioner Questions from FY 12/13 Budget Briefings
•
Section 2, Page 17, what is operator retention?
This is a cost for PASHA to manage the National City Marine Terminal (NCMT).
The Port pays PASHA 24.5% of the gross wharfage, dockage, and storage
revenues from NCMT; and PASHA operates, maintains, and secures the
terminal. If this cost is increasing, it means that wharfage and dockage revenues
·
are also increasing.
•
Section 3, Page 12, why are we grouping all gas/diesel together?
This is done in the FY 12/13 budget to simplify the categories in the budget. The
department tracks individual cost and quantity of items purchased in the SAP
system and can report on it as needed.
•
Section 3, Page 13, why did custodial services increase 50%?
Custodial costs in the General Services budget for FY 12/13 reflect an increase
from $420,000 to $645,000. The largest single portion of the net increase is for
custodial services at the Administration Building and the Administration Building
Annex. Previously, custodial services for these buildings were performed by Port
personnel. However, the Port's custodians were changed to Maintenance
Workers I and redeployed to General Services/Procurement. The cost of
maintenance for the facility is proportional for the main building, a 7-story
structure and the Annex, a separate single story structure, which combined
include numerous offices, restrooms, hallways, stairways, conference and
meeting rooms, and common areas totaling slightly more than 188,000 square
feet. Both buildings are maintained on a daily basis. By comparison, the next
largest facility is the General Services facility with a total of 54,000 square feet
maintained by the contractor daily. Other major work done by the contractor is
performed in smaller buildings (Harbor Police HQ, General Services, Maritime,
etc.), B St. Cruise Ship Terminal, where the use is far less, park restrooms, and
Broadway Pavilion in support of events.
•
Section 3, Page 23, what is the preservation of benefits plan?
SDCERS is a tax qualified retirement plan that must meet the requirements of
IRS Code Section 415(b). SDCERS established a separate plc;m to facilitate
pension payments that exceed a dollar limit per IRS Section 415(b) (refer to
Exhibit 1 - explanation from SDCERS website). The dollar amounts payable
from the Port's Trust are significantly reduced for members who retire at an age
younger than 62. With the ERIP' implementation, we had a few staff that retired
before age 62 and whose pension benefit exceeded the IRS 415(b) limit. These
retirees are not paid more than what they are entitled to. Instead, their payments
are made out of two separate plans administered by SDCERS for the Port.

•
Section 4, Page 7, why the increase in Interns from 34 to 43?
This is an inexpensive way to get work done and is also a good way to train
potential future Port employees; some high-performing Port employees were
interns before being hired full time at the Port. Interns bring a high value to the
Port.
•
Section 5, Page 9, why is HPD overtime going up so much?
Below is a breakdown by function of the overtime increase:
Dive team overtime (increase $4,000):
General expenses for dive training and call outs have been increasing. ·
Specific increases in call outs are due to body and evidence recoveries.
Law Enforcement Operations (increase $70,000):
The increase is based on the estimated number of unanticipated events that
require call back of personnel. Some examples include vessel accidents,
Occupy the Port call outs, Tsunami event, and other events requiring
additional staff for which we have no reserve capacity. This is a partial byproduct of the downsizing of the department. We also intend on using this
increase to fund bicycle patrols along the Embarcadero during our summer
season.
Special Events (increase $30,000):
This is based on the number of special event permits granted (including
activation events) for which police services are required. Some of these are
reimbursed; some are in-kind services that the Port provides.
Sworn Mandatory Staffing (increase $25,000):
Based on FY 11/12 trends, we are typically at a minimum staffing level,
requiring call back of officers to fill positions when someone calls in sick. We
are controlling this cost by staffing 10-hour shifts for 7.5 hours only. Due to
the reduction in size of the staff, the recent retirements/departures of several
people, and the long lead time to hire and train new people, we basically have
no back up when someone calls in sick.
Training (increase $185,000):
This accounts for the largest increase in our overtime budget. This increase
is due in large part to our maritime police training, which has a significant
gap. The Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and San Diego are partnering to
establish a maritime police training program that has previously been nonexistent in the State of California. In fact, we were awarded $50,000 in grant
funds to partially fund this training in each of the next two fiscal years. This
type of training needs to be conducted on officers' off time, thus necessitating
overtime. There are other training areas that we need to address since we
made significant reductions in training in the last three years. These include

Subject: Commissioner Questions from FY 12/13 Budget Briefings
high~liability
areas of use of force and firearms training. We expect these
levels of overtime to be reduced slightly in the next few years as we
implement a more systematic training calendar integrated into our budget.
Our total HPD overtime budget equals 5.0% of our overall budget, which is in
line with industry standards and other area cities.

•
Section 6, Page 21, what are the 800 MHz radios for?
These are radios for the General Services staff, which are funded by grants.
•
Section 6, Page 21, where did the telephone and communications expense
come from?
Department telephone and communications. budgets· are being centralized into
the Technology Management Program.
•
Section 8, Page 6, is this Municipal Service Agreements amount realistic?
We are using the current year budget amount until agreements are reached with
each of the member cities for FY 12/13.
•
If the surplus was $2.5M at the FY 11/12 mid-year budget presentation, can
we use the surplus to fund the FY 12/13 budget gap?
The FY 11/12 surplus is already included as funding available for future Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP). Using this surplus will reduce the funding available
for future CIP.
•
Why are we going to be able to execute on Major Maintenance when we
have not been able to in the past?
Things are being done differently in the Engineering Department. Engineering is
focusing more on the budgeted projects. Additionally, the budgeted amount for
Major Maintenance has been reduced to a level that is executable. In the future,
staff will be providing a quarterly update that provides the actual spending
compared to budget.

•
Was the Personnel Expense Ratio (personnel expense as a % of revenue) a
guideline or a policy?
The personnel expense ratio is a guideline. The FY 09/10 actual ratio was
54.9%. The FY 10/11 actual ratio was 53.9%.
•
Is the project for removal of transit shed at Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal
included in the approved ClP projects? Should we be doing this if we don't
have the cargo to justify it?
Yes, this project is in the approved CIP. However, a contract has not been
approved yet. We need to do the work to accommodate current operational
needs.
•
Can we issue more debt?
No, we don't have the capacity to pay additional debt service from any new debt
issuance. While the current "senior and total debt service ratios" show coverage
at more than 1.5x, the calculations do not include the cash required for Major
Maintenance Capital projects, the annual set-asides for the Public Art and
Environmental Funds, and Equipment Outlay because these capital
expenditures/set-asides are considered to be discretionary. If we take all of
these capital expenditures/set-asides into consideration, the Port does not have
additional debt capacity.
•
Of the 556 Permanent Positions in the budget, how many are not filled?
What is the vacancy factor in the Budget?
There are 27 unfilled positions as of March 31, 2012. The vacancy factor in the
FY 12/13 budget is equivalent to 33 positions.
•
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) funding - 1) Are we required to make
the full contribution to the pension plan? 2) What would be the impact if we
underfund the ARC by a specific amount that will help with the budget
deficit?
1) No, as long as the governing board approves the underfunding of the ARC.
There is also no violation of accounting requirements, but Port staff does not
recommend this due to the known negative impacts on the funding ratio and
the 7.75% interest that accrues on the unfunded amount.
2) The potential negative impacts of not paying the full ARC are as follows:
a. higher ARC for the future years;
b. reduction in the Port's funding ratio;
c. negative impact on employee morale and concern on the part of Port
retirees; (Port retirees recently expressed concern about the Port's
funding ratio and questioned if the drop in the funding ratio was due to
intentional underfunding by the Port. Staff advised the retirees that the
drop' in the funding ratio was primarily due to a loss on investments
and not underfunding.)

Subject Commissioner Questions from FY 12/13 Budget Briefings
d. negative perception from the public and community;
e. negative impact on the financial statements - the underfunding will
need to be recorded as an additional liability and a full disclosure of the
underfunding in the financial statements will be required;
f. risk of the Port's credit rating being down graded by the credit rating
agencies because underfunding the ARC may be viewed negatively;
g. the accrued interest on the underfunded amount would be greater
(SDCERS assumed investment earnings are set at 7.75%), than the
investment earnings on the Port's reserves like the Environmental and
Public Art Funds (the current return on investment earnings is less
than 1% in compliance with BPC 115 - Guidelines for Prudent
Investments).
•
What is .the retirement funding ratio for the Port? What is the retirement
funding ratio for the County, City, and Airport?
The funding ratios as of June 30, 2011 actuarial valuation are as follows:
73.1%
Port of San Diego
San Diego County Regional Airport Authority 102.7%
County of San Diego
81.5%
City of San Diego
68.5%
•
Is the salary year end in alignment with the fiscal year end?
No, the fiscal year is July 1 through June 30 and the salary year is October 1
through September 30.
•
How do we compare to others with regard to reserves?
Compared to other municipalities, the Port of San Diego maintains a healthy
reserve. Other municipalities that were surveyed are shown on Exhibit 2.
Please email me or call me at (619) 686-64 76 or Jeanette Sales at (619) 686-6267 if
you have any other questions.

Information about Internal Revenue Service Section 415(b)
The San Diego City Employees' Retirement System (SDCERS) is a tax qualified
retirement plan that must meet the requirements of Section 415 of the Internal Revenue
Code (Code). 1Section 41 S(b) of the Code limits the extent to which retirement benefits
m!(y be provided with the favorable tax treatment offered by a qualified pension plan like
To compiy with Section 415(b), SDCBRS must test annual benefits paid to its
members and beneficiaries. Any benefits in excess of Section 415(b) cannot be paid from
the SDCERS Trust Fund. <.
.
·sneERS.
To pay the benefits your employer has promised its retirees that exceed the Section 415(b)
limits, Preservation of Benefit Plans (POB Plan) were established for the City, Port and
Airport. These POB Plans ar~ qualified excess benefit arrangements (QEBA) that legally
permit the payment of benefits aoove the 415(b)·limits. Under IRS rules, the POB Plans
must be funded independently of SDCERS.
·
Retirement benefits that exceed Section 415 dollar limits !Ire not "illegal". It 'ts
absolutely legal for plan sponsors to provide benefits above Section 415 limits, as long as
these benefits are not paid from the SDCERS Trust Fund. The purpose behind Section 415
is to limit the extent to which benefits and contributions can receive the favorable tax
treatment provided to a qualified retirement plan. Congress made clear that while there
was no wi~h to limit benefits and contributions in general, there was a desire to limit the
special tax treatment available for those benefits and contributions.
The basic requirement of Section 415(b) is that an annual benefit to a member cannot
exceed an annual dollar limit. The Section 415 dollar limit for calendar 2007 was
$180,000 for a member who retired;,g~,~~~Q.tJle.ages of 62 and 65. However, the Section
:415 dollar limit is significantly reduced for members who retired at an earlier age (unless
·th·e·ll)e~ber·4~ at least 15 years ofservic~ as a qualified public safety employee). For
·eX!ifiipie, the 2007 Section 4is dollar limit for a member that retired at age 55 (other than a
qualified public safety employee). is reduced from $180,000 to $91,739.
Many other government agencies have QEBAs QEBA arrangements are very common
in' C:alifomia;~~d acrO's·s the Pountry. All20 California counties covered by the California
County Employees Retirement Law have QEBAs, as do CaiPERS, CaiSTRS, other
California city retirement systems and dozens of other state and local retirement systems
across the country.

If your annual benefit will exceed Section 41S(b) limits, SDCERS will contact you.
Each year in June, SDCERS will screen the retiree and beneficiary data to determine who
will exceed the 415(b) limits in the next fiscal year. SDCERS will contact you by mail if
you are one of the affected individuals.

reserves aside from this from PFC and FAA requirements.
Polley is to have a minimum of 9 months operating reserves. The
Airport Fund is able to keep 10 months and the 6 months comes
from all others. Their capital spending tends to lag behind

Source of Information:
1) The member city survey, SDCRAA. and Port of Seattle was done by Finance staff by phone in April 2012. All others were
done through California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) in May 2011.
2) The Government Finance Officers Association's (GFOA) best practice states that the minimum reserve level should be
between 5% and 15% of operating revenues or one or two month's operating expenses. The best practice states that reserve
level should be higher for smaller governments, or governments with a narrow revenue base, or if a portion of the reserves is
needed for a specific purpose.
3) In 2006 a member of the CSMFO conducted a survey about this very issue. Following are the results of that survey:

On April 30, 2012, the Port held a Workshop/Special Meeting to review the FY 12/13
Preliminary Budget. During the Workshop, Board members directed staff to provide
additional information and/or address suggestions made by the Board. Following is the
information requested, and suggestions made, by Board members categorized as short,
medium, or long-term action items.
SHORT-TERM
Use of Environmental Fund
The Board directed staff to review environmental-related projects and activities in the
FY 12/13 Preliminary Budget that could be funded by the Environmental Fund.
Staff has identified projects and activities in the FY 12/13 Preliminary Budget that would
qualify for funding from the Environmental Fund in accordance with BPC Policy 730.
The projects have a total cost of $2.0M. A list of the qualified projects is attached for
your review (see Attachment A).
Maritime Rates & Charges
The Board directed staff to review the Port's Tariff 1-G which sets the rates and charges
for all maritime cargo-related activities.
Staff commissions an annual U.S. West Coast Comparative Analysis of all our tariff
rates (not just wharfage) to ensure Port of San Diego rates are competitive. Based on
this annual study, staff recommends increases to the Board. The Port has done
selective increases in recent years (for example, last year we increased automobile
wharfage and storage rates) based on this analysis. During this year's review, staff will
take a closer look in terms of being more aggressive on increases without becoming
uncompetitive in the market.

Workshop/Special Meeting
Additionally, the California Association of Ports Authority (CAPA) is currently evaluating
the idea of pegging rate increases to CPI for automatic increases annually for California
Ports. Staff is participating in these discussions and expects final recommendations
within the next two months. Staff will advise the Board of results accordingly.
Five-Year History of Port's Funding Ratio
Staff was asked to provide a five-year history of the funding ratio for the Port's pension
plan. Following is the five-year history:
Funded
Ratio
FY 2007
FY 2008

Operating Reserve
Staff was asked to provide a copy of a Board memo dated March 21, 2008 which
addressed the appropriateness of the Port's six-month operating reserve. A copy of the
memo is attached as Attachment B.
Cost Recovery
The Board asked staff to analyze services provided by the Port that should be subject to
cost recovery.
The FY 12/13 Preliminary Budget for the Financial Services Department includes
$50,000 in Professional Services for a cost recovery analysis. Staff plans to hire a
consulting firm to perform a Port-wide Cost Recovery Plan/Fee Study. Part of the study
will encompass a review of all of the Port's existing services and create a
comprehensive fee and service schedule to recover full or partial costs of providing
those services to support long-term financial sustainability and provide a high quality of
service to the public. The consultant will be responsible for developing a recommended
services fee schedule that includes recovery of all direct and indirect costs using a
clear, equitable, and legally defensible method. The user fees would ensure that those
who use a proprietary service, pay for the service in proportion to the benefits received.
The consultant will also aid in the development of a formal cost recovery policy which
will allow the Port to provide an ongoing, sound basis for setting fees given the full cost
of providing the service. The policy will also allow charges and fees to be periodically
reviewed and updated based on predetermined, researched, supportable, and
transparent criteria.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) is ready for issuance and the project is expected to be
started this fiscal year and completed in FY12/13.
MEDIUM-TERM
Harbor Police Services Level Agreement
At the workshop, commissioners discussed the Harbor Police Services Level
Agreement with the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA) and asked
about plans to bring resolution to the matter of the Maximus cost allocation plan.
Following are planned actions to bring this matter to successful resolution:
• On May 15, 2012, Chair Smith and Commissioner Malcolm are on calendar to
meet with Board members of the SDCRAA to discuss resolution of this matter.
• The Port Attorney's Office has prepared a demand letter that will soon be issued
to the SDCRAA. This will start the legal process.
• A decision as to whether to initiate legal action is pending.
• If we are unable to reach agreement administratively or through legal action,
legislative action may be required.
Major Maintenance Review
The Board asked that staff provide briefings, or in some other way, advise the Board on
the Port's long-range major maintenance program. In the fall of this calendar year, staff
plans to update the Board on the process to assess the condition of the Port's
infrastructure assets and the process for scheduling projects in future years.
Motive Equipment Acquisition
The Board directed staff to analyze lease vs. purchase for all mobile equipment
acquisitions.
In 2005, the District contracted professional fleet management services from Spectrum
Consultants. Spectrum analyzed the District's fleet of equipment and vehicles and
prepared the management and replacement strategies that are used today. Equipment
and vehicles are considered for replacement if they meet one of the following criteria:
1) more than 1OOk miles of use, 2) more than 10 years of service, or a combination of 3)
70k miles of use and 7 years of service.
Prior to the procurement process, staff considers whether it is more cost effective to
rent, purchase, or lease equipment and vehicles.
Generally, large and heavy
equipment used infrequently for maintenance, construction, or maritime operations is
rented. Examples of these types of equipment include: large cranes, earth moving,
brush clearing, and mobile high-reach equipment. Equipment and trucks that support

Workshop/Special Meeting
predicted maintenance or maritime operations are considered for purchase. These
vehicles include heavy and medium class pick-up trucks, power washers, park
maintenance equipment, garbage packers, and telescoping boom trucks. Lastly,
vehicles that are highly used are considered for leasing. These vehicles, generally
administration pool vehicles, are used daily and are worn out by the end of the five- to
seven-year lease. Also, due to the five- to seven-year life of a lease, this procurement
model provides the opportunity for the introduction and field testing of current and
emergent alternative fuel-burning platforms such as hybrid (gas/electrical), compressed
natural gas (CNG), and electric.
LONG-TERM
Balanced Budgets
Based on the most recent cash flow forecast, commissioners asked how staff plans to
reduce or eliminate future budget deficits.
Prior to the start of the FY 13/14 budget cycle, staff will develop and recommend
options to reduce or eliminate future budget deficits. This will likely be accomplished
through a combination of increased revenues and reduced costs. Cost reductions may
be recommended in the following areas: municipal service agreements, sponsorship
programs, and other non-personnel expenses.
Ability to Tax
Commissioners directed staff to research the Port's ability to tax.
Prior to the FY 13/14 budget cycle, staff will research the Port's ability to tax and advise
the Board on all available options.
Please email me or call me at (619) 686-6423 if you have any questions.

Board of Port Commissioners

Subject: Operating Reserve
At the February 12, 2008 COP Workshop, a discussion of the Port's operating reserve took
place. Commissioner Spane asked the question, ''What is the appropriate level of operating
reserves?" As a follow-on to this question, the Board directed staff to provide additional
information concerning the appropriateness of the six-month operating reserve.
Following the COP Workshop, staff solicited feedback from members of the California
Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) and received 25 responses, including
results of a survey that was compiled in 2006 (46 respondents) and a "white paper"
completed in 2000 titled, "The Adoption of Reserve Policies in California Cities." Staff also
posed this question to the credit rating agency Standard and Poor's (S&P) and the following
information is provided to respond to this important question.
Without exception, all responding agencies agreed that it was fiscally prudent to set aside
sufficient reserves to respond to future uncertainties and protect against a decline in service
levels; however, staff found no universally accepted reserve level considered fiscally
prudent. General fund reserve levels vary from municipality to municipality and depend to a
large degree upon the risk associated with revenues and revenue sources, as well as four
major areas of concern identified in the "white paper."
•
A municipality with diverse and relatively stable sources of revenues presumably
requires a lower reserve amount than does a municipality for which its revenue sources
are fewer and variable in nature. Staff believes the Port falls in the latter category.
•
The areas of concern include temporary cash flow shortages (i.e., the timing difference
between the payment of expenses and the collection of revenues), emergencies (e.g.,
natural or man-made disasters and the likelihood of occurrence and expected degree of
business disruption), unanticipated economic downturns, and unpredicted one-time
expenditures and opportunities.
The Port has varying levels of sensitivity to each of these areas of concern; however,
with respect to "emergencies," the Port's assets are located in an area considered to be
seismically active and a significant earthquake is possible by 2030 (the San Diego area
has not experienced a significant earthquake in over 50 years). A recent assessment by
the Port's insurer concludes that in the event of a major earthquake, the Port would
suffer a maximum probable loss of $70 million. The Port's earthquake, terrorism, and
Board of Port Commissioners
March 21, 2008
Page 2 of 2
flood insurance policy would cover $15 million of the loss, thereby leaving a deficit of
$55 million. While the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) would
provide financial assistance, FEMA's estimate of the cost to fix the damage is often far
less than the actual cost, and it typically takes several years to finally settle on the
reimbursement amount. In the interim, the Port would be required to cover the deficit
using existing reserves and/or by borrowing the funds needed to rebuild the structures.
The 2006 CSMFO survey results showed ten agencies with reserves less than or equal to
10% of either operating revenues or budgeted expenses; twenty-two agencies with reserves
greater than 10%, but less than or equal to 25%; seven agencies greater than 25%, but less
than or equal to 50%; and two agencies greater than 50%. The lowest reserve position was
5% and the highest was 75%. The other five agencies had various reserve structures, the
most predominant of which was a fixed dollar amount. The Port's operating reserve is
equal to 50% of operating expenses, net of Harbor Police expenses charged to the Airport.
The results of the white paper were very similar. The majority of cities having reserve
policies determine their reserves using a percentage of operating expenditures. Of the fiftyone agencies listed, fifteen agencies have reserves less than or equal to 10% of operating
expenses; thirty agencies have reserves greater than 10%, but less than or equal to 25%;
and, six agencies have reserves greater than or equal to 50%. The lowest reserve position
was 2% and the highest was 150%.
Lastly, the Port's credit rating was recently upgraded to "A+" from "A" by Standard and
Poor's credit rating agency. The rating agency informed staff that the Port's strong reserve
position (i.e., six-months operating reserves) and prudent financial management (e.g., the
Board's approval of COP projects in a dollar amount already set aside in reserves) were
factors that weighed in the Port's favor. Standard and Poor's informed staff that it has no
set minimum reserve level with respect to rating criteria; however, the S&P analyst
communicated to staff that, " ... it gets noticed when the reserve position is large."
As previously mentioned, the Port's revenue base is relatively narrow and moderately
sensitive to the economic cycle. Given the current tightening in the credit markets and
increasing indications of an economic slowdown, coupled with the risk of a natural disaster,
a higher reserve limit is deemed prudent.

Attached for your review is a copy of the FY 12/13 Final Budget. The Final Budget will
be presented to the Board for adoption at the June 12, 2012 Board meeting.
At the May 8, 2012 Board meeting, the Board approved the FY 12/13 Preliminary
Budget with a shortfall of $3. 7M. Staff presented a recommendation to address the
deficit and the Board approved staff's recommendation that approximately $2.0M of
environmental-related projects and activities included in the FY12/13 Preliminary
Budget receive funding from the Environmental Fund, reduce the FY 12/13 annual
deposit for the Public Art Fund from $1.2M to $0.2M, and use $0.7M from the FY 12/13
estimated surplus to fund the remaining deficit. This change is reflected in the Final
Budget.
Following is a summary of additional changes from the Preliminary to Final Budget:
•
Changes in Revenues:
~ Decrease of $800,000 in NEVP Capital Project Contribution.
~ Decrease of $508,700 in Grants- Capital Project Reimbursement.
~ Increase of $200,000 in RE Parking Revenue for the Embarcadero
Circular Shuttle System.
~ Increase of $295,500 in RE for the Commercial Fisheries Revitalization
Implementation project.
~ Increase of $698,700 to account for the Department of Homeland Security
Sub-Grantee projects.
•
Changes in Non-Personnel Expenses:
~ Increase of $698,700 to account for the Department of Homeland Security

~ Increase of $295,500 in RE for the Commercial Fisheries Revitalization
Implementation project.

Additional Information Requested at April 30, 2012 Preliminary Budget
Workshop/Special Meeting
----...,~---
t:::
It has come to our attention that a couple of suggestions from Board Members were
omitted from Staffs May 4, 2012 Memo to the Board entitled "Information Requested at
April 30, 2012 Preliminary Budget Workshop/Special Meeting". Following are additional
short-term and long-term action items.
SHORT-TERM
Cost Recovery
The Board asked Staff to analyze services provided by the District that should be
subject to cost recovery. While this item was addressed generally in the May 4, 2012
Memo, it should be noted that the scope of the study to be performed during FY 12/13
will include an analysis of recovering staff time for processing tenant projects.
LONG-TERM
Costs for Mitigation for Tenant Projects
The Board asked Staff to analyze expenses associated with mitigation for tenant
projects. The suggestion was made, that the way this was handled historically, when
the District had more resources, may need to be revisited. Staff will perform an analysis
during FY12/13 and return to the Board with a recommendation as to what costs should
be borne by the tenants, and how any new or revised policy or practices should be
codified.
Please contact me at [email protected] or (619) 686-6476 or (619) 8182279 if you have questions.

Environmental Health Coalition's Concerns and Recommendations
Regarding Use of Environmental Fund Moneys
#_.....,..2::;..&.1 _ _
1tf1
The purpose of this memo is to advise the Board concerning conversations District Staff
has had with members of the Environmental Health Coalition (EHC) related to the use
of Environmental Funds for budgeted project and activity costs in the FY 12/13 Budget.
(See attached list of environmental-related projects and activities.)
On two occasions, Staff met with members of the EHC, most recently last Friday, to
discuss Staff's recommendation to use moneys from the Environmental Fund to pay for
environmental-related projects and activities. The meetings were constructive and
solution oriented.
At Friday's meeting, Diane Takvorian and Joy Hunter expressed the following concerns:
• Staff is recommending that some of the funds be used for environmental
compliance, and this was not the original intent of the Environmental Fund.
• Staff is recommending that $65K be used for expenses related to an SDG&E
Energy Program. The budgeted expenses are reimbursable by SDG&E and the
reimbursement would be used for other Port expenses.
To mitigate EHC's concerns, Diane Takvorian recommended the following:
• Use of the moneys from the Environmental Fund for environmental-related
projects and activities should be a one-time only use.
• Use of the Environmental Fund money should be treated like a loan and the
borrowed money should be replaced in future years when the Port has sufficient
surplus funds.
During the public comment period for the FY 12/13 Final Budget at tomorrow's Board
meeting, Diane Takvorian or another member of the EHC will likely want to address the
Board and comment on this issue.

Dear San Diego Port Commissioners,
On Tuesday, you will be asked to approve Community Sponsorship of two exciting events on Chula Vista's
Bayfront. Harbor Days, in September, is a celebmtion of our regional waterfront community and a
signature Chula Vista event vital to the activation of out Bayfront. The South Bayfront PowWow in August
will, for the first time, enable Chula Vista and the Port to join the national Powwow Circuit. This is a great
opportunity to support cultural diversity and our history, while highlighting South San Diego Bay.
Harbor Days was a major annual event on our Marina Harbor from 1989 until2003. In 2010, we brought
back this signature festival with support from the San Diego Maritime Museum, the City of Chula Vista, the
Port Distl'ict, and Bayfront tenants. Once again the public could enjoy an animated bayfront featuring free
historic ship tours, juried Art Shows, interactive kids art mural, a robotics challenge and more than 40
business and non-profit organizational booths attl'acting over 1500 visitors. Last year, with additional
support from the Port of San Diego and the City, Harbor Days was featured as a CentennialCelebration.
The venue was expanded to include the entire waterfront, and special activities were added such as a "Kid's
Zone", "Eco Zone", and SEAL harbor tour. Community involvement increased to apptoxi.mately 30
vendor booths, 40 non-profit/ organizations, 40 artists & performers and the support and sponsorship of
1nore than 20 community businesses and organizations. The event was planned and coordinated by a
tremendous effort of volunteers who are committed to the revitalization of Harbor Days as an annual Chula
Vista Bayfront community event. Last year's attendance of about 3,500 was more than double the prior
year's turnout.
TI1e second event - the Summer Pmvwow, is new to Chula Vista's waterfront. The idea grew from the
evolving partnership between the South Bayfront Artists (a nonprofit organization) and Native American
artists, who joined the group displaying their work in the new waterfront gallery at the Chula Vista Marina.
Tlus will be a wonderful opportunity to grow a popular event into an annual tl'adition celebrating our
community's llistorical roots on the bay, the preservation of our environment, and our cultural diversity.
Thank you for your consideration and I hope you will favor title sponsorship for tl1ese two important
community events.
Sincerely,
Pamela Bensoussan, Councilwoman City of Chula Vista
