CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: April 28, 2020
Subject
COVID-19 Fiscal Impacts Update
Recommended Action
Accept the COVID-19 Fiscal Update
Discussion
This Update is intended to inform the Council and the public of the City’s fiscal status
resulting from COVID-19. It provides an intermediate update between the Mid-Year
Financial Report presented to City Council on March 3, 2020 and the Third Quarter
Budget Report that scheduled on May 19, 2020.
Sustainability Impact
There is no sustainability impacts associated with this item.
Fiscal Impact
General Fund
Due to the financial impacts of COVID-19, the City’s revenues for Fiscal Year 2019-20 are
expected to be $11.3M less than originally expected. These losses are primarily in
Transient Occupancy Tax and Charges for Services, as outlined in the following table
(figures in millions). This table also reflects an anticipated transfer of $10M from the
Capital Projects Fund to the General Fund to mitigate the revenue losses from COVID-
19.
7
04-28-2020
7 of 58
Other mitigation efforts included reducing expenditures. The following table outlines the
City’s expenditure reductions in the “FY19/20 COVID-19 Mitigation” column (figures in
millions).
The following table summarizes the above information regarding revenues and
expenditures. It outlines where the City was projected to end the year financially before
COVID-19, after the negative financial impacts of COVID-19, and after taking into account
COVID-19 and mitigation efforts by the City to be fiscally responsible. Without mitigation
efforts to reduce the impacts of COVID-19, the City would have used almost all of the
Unassigned Fund Balance. Unassigned Fund Balance is the remaining fund balance after
accounting for revenues and expenditures. With mitigation efforts, the City will be able
8
04-28-2020
8 of 58
to maintain a more positive position, projecting to end the year with $17.5M in
Unassigned Fund Balance. This additional Unassigned Fund Balance will be available to
assist in balancing the FY 2020-21 budget and budgets into the future should assumptions
change or revenue estimates fall short.
Special Revenue Funds
In the Special Revenue Funds, COVID-19 most heavily impacted the Transportation
Fund. This fund receives revenues from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Account (RMRA) and the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) derived from portions
of State excise (per gallon) taxes on gasoline and diesel, and vehicle registration taxes.
Conservatively estimated declines in these funding sources are 20% for RMRA and 30%
for HUTA. The estimated decline in these revenues totals approximately $200,000 in the
Transportation Fund. Declines in FY 2020-21 are anticipated to be much smaller, but
new projections will be provided as more information and data is made available.
Expenditures incurred for on-going projects in Special Revenue Funds will continue to
slow down during the current fiscal year. The chart below lists the City’s Special
Revenue Funds’ estimated revenues, expenditures, and FY 2019-20 ending fund balance
after accounting for COVID-19 impacts.
FY 2019-20
Beginning Fund Balance $ 34,088,513
Projected Revenues $ 5,618,590
Projected Expenditures $ (10,537,227)
Estimated Fund Balance $ 29,169,875
9
04-28-2020
9 of 58
Capital Project Funds
The City’s Capital Projects Funds began FY 2019-20 with $33.2M in fund balance.
The Funds’ total amended revenue budget of $43.1M is unlikely to be affected by
COVID-19. The vast majority of these funds are derived from internal transfers into
the funds, with the excess coming from donations received from Apple for the
Bicycle Pedestrian Plan projects.
Without taking internal transfers into consideration, the Capital Projects Funds’
amended expenditure budget is currently $43.5M and the timing of those
expenditures will be affected by Shelter in Place orders. Based on fourth quarter
trend analysis, and factoring in the delay/halt of construction, the total FY 2019-20
expenditures are conservatively estimated to be $6.2M million.
The Capital Projects Funds’ FY 2019-20 ending fund balance is estimated to be $39M
as shown in the following table. These numbers include a $10M transfer from the
Capital Projects Funds to the General Fund to mitigate the revenue losses due to
COVID-19.
Enterprise Funds
The City’s Enterprise Funds consist of the Resource Recovery (Res. Rec.), Blackberry
Farm Golf Course (Golf), Sports Center, and Recreation (Rec.) Funds. Revenues have
been heavily impacted at Blackberry Farm Golf Course, the Cupertino Sports
Center, and in Recreation programming. It is reasonable to assume that there will be
no additional revenues in these funds for the remainder of the fiscal year.
FY 2019-20 Res. Rec. Golf Sports Ctr. Rec.
Beginning Fund Balance $ 5,485,695 $ (16,289) $ 748,347 $ 1,838,753
Projected Revenues $ 1,011,195 $ 872,697 $ 4,489,257 $ 1,978,962
Projected Expenditures $ (2,092,617) $ (596,450) $ (3,718,734) $(2,734,978)
Estimated Fund Balance $ 4,404,273 $ 259,958 $ 1,518,870 $ 1,082,737
Assuming no additional revenues, each of the Enterprise Funds are anticipated to
end FY 2019-20 with a positive fund balance. This is due to revenue streams that have
been very healthy pre-COVID-19. Despite a strong fund status prior to COVID-19,
lost revenue during the fourth quarter will be mitigated by a spending reduction on
FY 2019-20
Beginning Fund Balance $ 33,211,943
Projected Revenues $ 38,152,607
Projected Expenditures $ (32,300,865)
Estimated Fund Balance $ 39,063,685

The impact of COVID-19 on the City’s financial condition is significant. Although the
City is currently well-positioned to absorb the initial impact, forecasting the longer-term
timing and extent of impacts presents a challenge. As we look to the upcoming 2020-21
fiscal year, the City will be experiencing significant declines in sales tax and potential
drops in property tax. Recommendations on a budget strategy to address these impacts
will be included in FY 2020-21 Proposed Budget for Council consideration in May.

ATTACHMENT A
Federal, State, and Private Emergency Assistance Funding Matrix
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Government has passed funding
legislation including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act
and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. Funding was
made available to individuals, small businesses, and specified state and local
government programs.
Attached is Townsend Public Affairs’ Federal, State, and Private Emergency Assistance
Funding Matrix (Funding Matrix) that includes this information. This document was
updated on April 24th and not only includes funding sources for local governments but
also for businesses, individuals, schools, and veterans. The matrix provides details on
the grant administrator, links to specific grant information websites, funding
descriptions and details, and application details. Cupertino OES (Office of Emergency
Services) and Finance Department staff have been monitoring COVID funding and
looking for opportunities relevant to the City and our residents. Notes have been added
where Cupertino qualifies for funding.
The first section (pages 1-10) focuses on assistance for local governments. Included are
two programs Cupertino is eligible for:
•FEMA Funding through Public Assistance (PA) Grants. (Funding Matrix page 1)
o Cupertino’s has been approved for PA, pending completion of the FEMA
Public Assistance COVID-19 Streamlined Project Application.
•Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV) (Funding Matrix page 2)
o The City was notified by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) that they will receive an allocation of $229,017 of
Community Development Block Grant funds made available through the
Federal stimulus Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act.
The Funding Matrix also includes sections on Assistance for Private Businesses and
Nonprofits (pages 11-21), Assistance for Private Individuals (pages 22-28), Assistance for
Higher Education (pages 29-31) and Assistance for Veterans (page 32).
Since the passage of the CARES Act on March 27, there has been much discussion on the
need for further funding to address those, including local governments with populations
less 500,000, who have not been eligible for current reimbursement opportunities. This
12
04-28-2020
12 of 58
has been referred to as Phase 4 funding. Some details and recent statements regarding
this stimulus are provided below.
•On April 7, HR 6467 CV Community Relief Act--$250 billion for counties, cities,
tribal governments with populations under 500,000. On April 17, Cupertino’s
Legislative Review Committee adopted a position of support for the bill and sent
support letters to Congress. Along with 143 others, Congressman Khanna and
Congresswoman Eshoo have signed on as cosponsors of the bill. There has been
no movement since then.
•The League of California Cities sent a letter to the Governor and Legislature
about the current fiscal impacts, emphasizing that cities need fiscal help now and
that no city can be left behind. Governor Newsom released a statement of
support on April 23, urging federal action on local government funding.
•According to the League, President Trump said that a next package would
include relief for state and local governments, but that sentiment is not shared by
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. McConnell is growing concerned
about the rate of federal spending at a time when the economy is slowing.
City staff will continue to research applicable funding and grant opportunities.

Small and mid-

The Federal Reserve has announced that it is
establishing a Main Street Lending Program
(Program) to support lending to small and
medium-sized businesses that were in good
financial standing before the onset of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The Program will
operate through two facilities: the Main Street
New Loan Facility (MSNLF) and the Main
Street Expanded Loan Facility (MSELF).
Structure: To implement the Program, a
Reserve Bank will set up a special purpose
vehicle (SPV) to purchase 95 percent
participations in loans originated by eligible
lenders. Lenders will retain 5 percent of the
loans. U.S. businesses are eligible for loans if
they meet either of the following conditions: (1)
the business has 10,000 employees or fewer;
or (2) the business had 2019 revenues of $2.5
billion or less. Loans would have a four year
maturity, and principal and interest payments
on the loans will be deferred for one year.
Operational Status: The Federal Reserve is
currently working to create the Program
infrastructure and is considering the feedback
provided by the public. More information will
be posted here as it becomes available
regarding program terms and how eligible
lenders can sell eligible loan participations to
the SPV
TBD Federal reserve is in the
process of finalizing this
program, guidance on
accessing this assistance
will be available in the
coming weeks.

Discussion
On March 24, 2020, City Council held a public hearing to discuss emergency assistance
funds for tenants at risk of eviction due to impacts of COVID-19. Council directed staff
to reach out to other West Valley cities and local businesses, identify the immediate needs
of WVCS, and explore options for a loan program for tenants impacted by COVID-19.

As noted on March 24th, cities in the West Valley region have expressed an interest in
working together for a long-term funding strategy for WVCS. The City Manager is
working on this collaboration and will provide Council with updates as things progress.
The City has reached out to its large commercial property owners, letting them know that
the City is working on various ways to continue supporting WVCS, including additional
funding. In cooperation with City efforts, Apple has committed a $100,000 donation to
WVCS. These funds are unrestricted and will assist WVCS in meeting the increased
demand for services in the community.
Identify the Immediate Needs of WVCS
Staff contacted WVCS to discuss the original request of $50,000-75,000 for rent and
mortgage assistance to Cupertino residents impacted by COVID-19. At this time, WVCS
strives to assist individuals in reducing their debt load and they are not equipped to
administer a loan program. WVCS has been able to source food from new channels and
is not concerned about their ability to buy food. WVCS expressed that they do not wish
to pursue a donation for the food pantry, and that rental assistance is more critical at this
time.
Staff is recommending that the City contribute $50,000 to WVCS to assist households in
the West Valley region impacted by COVID-19. WVCS has proposed a 10%
administration fee and will implement a maximum cap of $3,000 in grant funds per
household.
Explore Options for A Loan Program for Tenants Impacted by COVID-19
Meriwest Credit Union
The City reached out to Meriwest Credit Union to discuss potential ways to provide low
interest loans to help Cupertino residents with rental assistance during the COVID -19
Shelter in Place Order. Based off of a $100,000 contribution from the City, Meriwest has
drafted a low interest loan program proposal for City of Cupertino income qualified
residents to provide rental assistance payments to help keep them housed during these
very uncertain times, see attachment B. Highlights include the following:
Available to Cupertino residents only
Max Loan Amount: Lesser of two months rental payment or $3,000
Terms: 1% APR and first payment due in 180 days
Borrower’s Household Income must be less than or equal to 100% of Area
Median Income as shown below:

120%-Mod 110400 126150 141950 157700 170300
In addition, the City is responsible for 100% of all outstanding loan balance and accrued
interest in the event of a default. Meriwest will charge the City a one -time $50 loan
servicing fee for each new loan funded. Post chargeoff, 100% of any recovery payments
will be returned to the City on a monthly basis.
Funding Sources
Council directed staff to review the use of BMR AHF for emergency assistance funds. It
has been determined that this would be an eligible use of BMR AHF because fees are
based on the need for affordable housing created by new jobs in the community. The
current need is created by businesses creating jobs and then laying off people which
creates a sufficient nexus between the use of the funds for emergency rental assistance to
try to keep employees in the community and the reason the funds were collected to allow
them to be used for this purpose In addition, this is an eligible use of the General Fund
HSG. Staff is recommending the use of BMR AHF or General Fund HSG funds.
Additional Funding Sources to Assist Tenants Impacted by Covid-19
CARES Act Allocation
On April 1, 2020, the City received notification from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) that we will receive $229,017 in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security (CARES Act) supplemental funding for FY 20-21. “The authority to
provide housing assistance payments for rent, mortgage, utilities for up to 24 months.”
is listed as an eligible use and staff is actively working with the Santa Clara County CDBG
Consortium to identify regulations and timelines for this funding source. Staff will
provide Council with updates as things progress.
Earnin
Earnin is an online financial platform that empowers workers by giving them the tools to
take control of their finances. Earnin is a direct-to-consumer model that provides access
to earnings with no fees such as overdraft and late fees. Ea rnin advances money that
employees have already earned and the money is returned on payday. A representative
from Earnin will provide an overview of the program at the City Council meeting.
Staff will continue to work closely with community partners, including potential funders,
to explore additional efforts to support members of our community, as well as continuing
to seek emergency funds from county, state, and federal sources.

Sustainability Impact
There are no sustainability impacts.
Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funding will be available and budgeted for the emergency assistance funds.
BMR AHF programs and projects are funded by housing mitigation fees collected from
residential and non-residential development projects. HSG programs are funded
through the General Fund.

RESOLUTION NO. _____________
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO CONTRIBUTING $50,000 IN
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FUNDS TO WEST VALLEY COMMUNITY SERVICES
AND $100,000 IN EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE LOAN FUNDS TO MERIWEST CREDIT
UNION FOR TENANTS AT RISK OF EVICTION DUE TO IMPACTS OF THE NOVEL
CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
WHEREAS, on February 3, 2020 and pursuant to Section 101080 of the
California Health and Safety Code, the Santa Clara County Health Officer (the
“Health Officer”) declared a local health emergency throughout Santa Clara County
(the “County”) related to the novel coronavirus; and
WHEREAS, on February 3, 2020, and pursuant to Section 8630 of the California
Government Code, the Santa Clara County Director of Emergency Services
proclaimed a local emergency throughout the County related to COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a
State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency
actions already underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help
the State prepare for a broader spread of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, the County issued updated guidance for
workplaces and businesses, stating that employers should take steps to make it more
feasible for their employees to work in ways that minimize close contact with large
numbers of people, including: 1) suspend nonessential employee travel; and 2)
minimize the number of employees working within arm’s length of one another,
including minimizing or canceling large in-person meetings and conferences. The
County also recommended that persons at higher risk of severe illness should stay
home and away from crowded social gatherings of people as much as possible such as
parades, conferences, sporting events, and concerts where large numbers of people
are within arm’s length of one another; and
WHEREAS, on March 11, 2020, the City Manager of the City of Cupertino
(“City”) declared a local emergency throughout the City related to COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, on March 17, 2020, the Council ratified and continued the City
Manager’s declaration of a local emergency; and
WHEREAS, on March 13, 2020, the County issued a new Order mandating a
countywide moratorium on gatherings of more than 100 persons and a conditional
countywide moratorium on gatherings of between 35-100 persons. California
Governor Gavin Newsom also called for bar, wineries, and brewery pubs to close.
51
04-28-2020
51 of 58

These restrictions impact how businesses operate that rely on customer patronage and
will result in loss of revenue for those that cannot continue to operate their businesses
during this time or must operate under severe restrictions; and
WHEREAS, also on March 16, 2020 the County, along with five other Bay Area
counties, issued a sweeping Shelter in Place Order; and
WHEREAS, the County Superintendent of Schools and all district
superintendents in the County decided to close schools to students for three weeks
beginning Monday, March 16, 2020. These school closures will cause children to have
to remain at home, leading to many parents adjusting their work schedules to take
time off work, whether paid or unpaid. Hourly wage earners are unlikely to be paid
for time off. The inability to work due to school closures will economically strain
those families who cannot afford to take off time from work to stay at home; and
WHEREAS, on March 19, 2020, Governor Newsom ordered all individuals
living in the State of California to stay home or at their place of residence, with limited
exceptions, to stop the spread of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the State of Emergency and the subsequent
prohibitions on large gatherings, and shelter in place orders, many City residential
tenants have experienced sudden and substantial income loss due to business and
school closures, layoffs or reductions in work hours and extraordinary out-of-pocket
medical expenses, making it challenging for them to pay rent on time and thus, more
likely to face the prospect of eviction; and
WHEREAS, displacement through eviction destabilizes the living situation of
tenants and impacts the health of Cupertino’s residents by uprooting children from
schools, and disrupting the social ties and networks that are integral to citizens'
welfare and the stability of communities within the City; and
WHEREAS, displacement through eviction creates undue hardship for tenants
through additional relocation costs, stress, and anxiety, and the threat of
homelessness due to the lack of alternative housing; and
WHEREAS, during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, affected tenants who
have lost income due to impact on the economy or their employment are at risk of
homelessness if they are evicted for non-payment as they will have little or no income
and thus be unable to secure other housing if evicted; and
WHEREAS, housing instability threatens the public peace, health and safety as
eviction from one’s home can lead to homelessness; loss of community; stress and
anxiety caused by the experience of displacement; interruption of the education of any
children in the home; increased incidence of families moving into overcrowded
52
04-28-2020

conditions creating greater risk for the spread of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, given the severe consequences to public health and safety
throughout the City that would result from evictions of residential tenants during the
City-wide local health emergency, the City finds and determines that Emergency
Assistance Funds are necessary to assist tenants at risk of eviction due to COVID-19;
and
WHEREAS, West Valley Community Services (WVCS), a Bay Area nonprofit
dedicated to housing and food services for Cupertino and surrounding communities,
reports that the recent outbreak of COVID-19, and the subsequent impacts on
employment in service-sector jobs, are having a dire impact on these communities’
most vulnerable residents; requests for rental assistance have significantly increased,
as both current and new clients are laid off or furloughed without pay; these families
are at risk of becoming homeless, as they are unable to pay their rent at the end of the
month; and a moratorium on evictions would help keep residents housed; and
WHEREAS, Meriwest Credit Union has partnered with the City of Cupertino to
to provide low interest loans to help Cupertino residents with rental assistance during
the COVID-19 Shelter in Place Order. Based off of a $100,000 contribution from the
City, Meriwest has drafted a low interest loan program proposal for City of Cupertino
income qualified residents to provide rental assistance payments to help keep them
housed during these very uncertain times; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the
adoption and implementation of this Ordinance is not a project under the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act, together with related State CEQA
Guidelines (collectively, “CEQA”) because it has no potential for resulting in physical
change in the environment. In the event that this Ordinance is found to be a project
under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines
section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility that the
action approved may have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA applies only
to actions which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in
question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to
CEQA. In this circumstance, the proposed action to enact tenant protections would
have no or only a de minimis effect on the environment because it helps preserve the
status quo and reduce displacement. The foregoing determination is made by the City
Council in its independent judgment; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cupertino
hereby recommends approval of the Emergency Assistance Funds; and
53

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cupertino

coronavirus; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cupertino
authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with WVCS.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cupertino
