CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 9C.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: City Financial Report - June 2025
FROM: Jamie Murguia, Finance Manager
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the report.
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Artesia Municipal Code (AMC) 2-4.705 (f), the attached Finance Report details the activity and balance for all City accounts and funds as of June 30, 2025. Reports are reconciled for cash on hand (bank) to cash recorded in the general ledger through the period ending June 30, 2025.
Activity for Money Market, Checking, Revolving, Cafeteria, Local Agency Investment Fund, CDBG, and Petty Cash are provided for review. Fund Balances compare the cash to each fund's obligation. The balance of the individual accounts and funds should be read with the understanding that cash on hand, is not cash available for unplanned expenditures. The cash balance encompasses the City's contingency reserves, operating expenditures, and monies kept in restricted use funds including Trust and Agency. The City of Artesia is debt-free; therefore, the finance report does not include any debt activity.
ANALYSIS:
The City is the recipient of several reimbursable grants. This means that, while the City has been awarded funding projects, the City must front the cost of those projects with General Fund revenue, and request reimbursement from the respective grantor as each project progresses. Towards that end, the balance of individual accounts and funds reflected in this Report will vary from month to month as expenses are made and reimbursements are received.
For the month ending June 30, 2025, an additional page has been added to the Financial Report. The page labeled, Schedule of Investments, highlights the City's longer duration investments held with Academy Asset Management, the City's investment advisor. A summary of these investments has always been highlighted on the Treasurer's Report; however, the Schedule of Investments provides an additional layer of visibility of the City's longer duration investments. This page will be included going forward.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the receipt and file of this Report.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the report.

SECTION 3. Findings. Government Code section 65860 requires a city's zoning ordinance to be consistent with the general plan. Based on all evidence in the record, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The proposed Artesia Downtown Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan 2030 Community Policy LU 1.4, which calls for ensuring that mixed-use developments are integrated with surrounding uses to become part of the neighborhood by utilizing cohesive architecture, lively streetscape, interesting urban spaces, and attractive landscaping. The proposed project identifies permitted uses and development standards that are intended to integrate future development within the project site with the surrounding community. Additionally, the proposed project includes complementary designs and uses that are compatible with existing surrounding neighborhoods by continuing active groundlevel retail. The proposed project also identifies landscaping standards that conform to the City’s Urban Forestry Manual, ensuring attractive and cohesive landscaping. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with this policy.
B. The proposed Artesia Downtown Specific Plan is consistent with the proposed General Plan Amendment, which will establish a new Land Use Designation called the Artesia Downtown Specific Plan.
3 C. The proposed Artesia Downtown Specific Plan will not adversely affect or be detrimental to adjacent properties, as it includes measures that adhere to all required City standards for circulation, noise, setbacks, buffer areas, landscaping, and architecture, ensuring compatibility between different uses. Moreover, the Plan identifies development standards that would enhance the surrounding neighborhood and prevent deterioration of surrounding uses, including singlefamily residences, while also ensuring that it does not adversely impact the safety and residential character of the neighborhood.
D. The proposed Artesia Downtown Specific Plan is consistent with the following community policies and policy actions in the General Plan 2030 Community Policy Program:
1. Community Policy LU 1.1 and Policy Action LU 1.1.1 encourage the identification of appropriate locations for residential and non-residential development to accommodate growth through the year 2030 by evaluating amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map to consider the effect that such amendments will have on the City’s ability to achieve its goals of a well planned community. The proposed Specific Plan enables re-purposing of under-utilized parcels and facilitates vibrant mixed-use developments, which will contribute to accommodating the City’s housing demand through the year 2030.
2. Community Policy LU 1.2 and Policy Action LU 1.2.1 encourage a wide variety of commercial services in appropriate locations by analyzing the current inventory of developed and undeveloped commercial sites in the City in order to assess which are economically viable commercial developments that can be supported. The Artesia Downtown Specific Plan will enable mixed-use projects that incorporate commercial uses alongside residential uses, thereby enhancing commercial viability by positioning customers and services near one another.
3. Community Policy LU 1.3 and Policy Action LU 1.3.1 encourage active and inviting pedestrian-friendly street environments that include a variety of uses within commercial and mixed-use areas by enhancing access, safety and the streetscape experience for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders; and that focus improvements in areas with the highest need. The proposed Artesia Downtown Specific Plan will enable a mixed-use projects.
4. Housing Sub-Element Policy HE 1.3 encourage mixed-use (residential/commercial) development on existing commercial zoned land.
The project site is currently zoned Commercial General, Multi-Family Residential, Light Manufacturing/Industrial, Commercial Planned Development, and South Street Specific Plan.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 9I.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding With the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority FROM: Karen Lee, Special Projects Manager
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Jamie Murguia, Finance Manager
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute on their behalf, the Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority and the City of Artesia for the implementation of the Watershed Management Program and Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program for the Lower San Gabriel River Watershed.
BACKGROUND:
The City, along with all cities in the region, is required to meet strict standards to reduce pollutants in stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit Order No. R4‑2012-0175 (MS4 Permit). The MS4 Permit includes requirements to prepare and implement a Watershed Management Plan and a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program for the Lower San Gabriel River watershed.
In 2012, Artesia joined other local jurisdictions in the Lower San Gabriel Watershed (Watershed Permittees) and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to pool resources to meet the MS4 Permit regional requirements to create a common, integrated, and coordinated solution for the region’s water related issues.
In 2014, the MOU was expanded, both in membership and scope, to develop a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program. The purpose of this MOU was the development of the Watershed Management Plan and the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program that are both overseen by the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (JPA). These plans/programs outline a number of stormwater compliance activities as required by the MS4 Permit, including ongoing monitoring, development of policies and procedures by all Watershed Permittees, inspections, and construction projects such as infiltration basins and bioswales. The City Council approved the First Amendment to the MOU in 2015, and the Second Amendment in 2020, which will expire on September 30, 2025.
ANALYSIS:
The Third Amendment is essentially unchanged from the Second Amendment other than updating dates, such as extending the MOU through September 30, 2030, unless terminated earlier according to the provisions of the MOU.
There are no changes to the cost share formula that determines the City's contribution. The implementation phase of the Watershed Management Plan and the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program requires a significant amount of resources. Permittees, including the City, would like to continue to work together in order to pool resources to meet the permit requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City’s annual contribution under the MOU will vary depending on the required monitoring and special studies needed to comply with the MS4 Permit. Exhibit B to the MOU stipulates the Annual Average Cost Sharing Formula for each Watershed Permittee. According the formula, Artesia’s cost share is 1.85% of the total JPA’s budget each year. Based on this formula, Artesia’s annual contribution is estimated to average just over $18,680 each year for the next five years.
The contribution for this year is included in the adopted FY 2025-26 Budget in Fund, which is funded entirely by Measure W funds.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute on their behalf, the Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority and the City of Artesia for the implementation of the Watershed Management Program and Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program for the Lower San Gabriel River Watershed.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 9J.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Agreement with OpenGov, Inc. for Permitting and Code Compliance Software and Implementation
FROM: Mario Flores, Management Analyst
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Jamie Murguia, Finance Manager
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute, the Master Services Agreement with OpenGov, Inc. for permitting, planning and code compliance software and implementation services totaling $137,975.34 over a three year period.
BACKGROUND:
Following a thorough evaluation, it was concluded that the Community Development department could optimize development procedures, boost effectiveness, and broaden its offerings to the public by embracing digital modernization. This would involve the implementation of a software solution for permitting, planning and code enforcement. Currently, the Building and Safety department operates within the LA County DAPTS system, while the Code Compliance and Planning departments utilize Comcate, resulting in a lack of integration that hinders efficient communication, data sharing, and coordinated case management across departments. Furthermore, Comcate is unable to house a Building and Safety module within their platform.
Additionally, the County recently notified Staff that their DAPTS system, which currently hosts building and safety permits, is nearing "end of life" and that the City must migrate to a new permit system soon. The County has offered to replace DAPTS with their current online permit system, EPIC-LA, at no-additional cost. However, the County will not pass on credit card processing fees to the users in line with the City's current practices, and rather bills the City for those costs. Absorbing credit card fees is a significant cost and deterrent to using the EPIC-LA software. Prior to receiving this notice, Staff had determined it was necessary to bring permitting services in-house.
Further, EPIC-LA was designed and implemented to meet the County's business needs and would have to be modified to suit the City's evolving needs. Appreciating the value of integration, Staff recommends a new software where all department processes can be integrated, with additional options for expansion in the future as the needs of the City may grow.
ANALYSIS:
After a comprehensive evaluation of the Community Development department's existing software programs and procedures, various issues were identified within the entire City's review and permitting processes:
Building: The current DAPTS software will become defunct at the end of calendar year (2025) and reliance on County resources can be an impediment to conducting day-to-day operations within Artesia City Hall.
Code Compliance: Maintains separate Comcate software that does not integrate with building permits.
Planning: Reviews and plans are also housed in Comcate that does not integrate with building permits.
Public Works: Need for improved communication between departments for grading and encroachment permits as they relate to development projects.
To effectuate the need to identify and implement means and methods for streamlining workflow and development review, licensing, and permit approval processes, Staff received demonstrations from three highly-qualified vendors of cloud-based platforms, including OpenGov, Accela, and CivicPlus. Staff also solicited pricing proposals from each of the three vendors. Following the software demonstrations to understand the functionality of each system, key Staff members convened to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each system. Of the three, the only system that demonstrated its ability to service all of the work areas required and implement to the City's needs was OpenGov. While one of the systems provided a lower cost than OpenGov, and the other was near the same cost, the limited functionality and scope of work to implement gave concern that the resources committed from those vendors would not be sufficient to complete a successful project.
Therefore, Staff recommends that the City enhance its existing processes through a partnership with OpenGov and apply their integrated software system that represents best practices, automated workflows, project management tools, and improves communication for the entire City and public. Staff determined that OpenGov offers a consolidated permit, project, and land management system that can streamline City operations and permitting needs. Furthermore, this cloud-based technology offers permitting, payment, and renewal processes online to improve efficiency for external customers. If approved, it is anticipated that the software system will be fully implemented by the end of this Fiscal Year 2025-26. At the moment, the City would prioritize the Building and Safety module to be operable by the end of this calendar year (2025) to replace the soon to be defunct DAPTS system.
OpenGov contains the following functions/benefits:
Hosted cloud-based software: Support provided by OpenGov, can be accessed from any mobile device connected to internet.
Functionality: Enhances current functions for planning applications, building permits, inspections, and code enforcement actions.
Online submitting and inspection requests: Capability to submit applications, digital plan review, and building inspection requests online.
Easy to learn and use: System is designed to be intuitive with autofill capabilities.
Customization: Software can be easily adjusted by City staff to fit existing processes and unique needs.
Exceptional public interface with high customer satisfaction: Customer service portal allows the public to access information, submit applications, check project status, pay fees, and leave messages for reviewers.
There is also no limit on users, so city staff and necessary consultants can receive login credentials so all project communication happens in one place instead of three (our current practice).
Full-service configuration and build of new system: OpenGov will build the new system based on the City's most complex processes.
Reporting and maps: Provides detailed and customizable reports that tracks performance and other measures. Allows custom maps that can show inspections, permits, and other information geographically.
Customer service: According to references checked, OpenGov staff provides excellent customer service and is responsive to client needs.
Training: Hours of training dedicated to administrators and staff end users during the transition period.
Attached is the professional services agreement, which includes a detailed breakdown of the annual license costs and project implementation, including configuration, setup, and training. The total first year cost of $68,841.46 includes the prorated software fee and the product implementation one-time fee. The cost for the full second year ($33,723.85) and full third year ($35,410.03) a lower because there are no implementation fees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost for the three-year agreement is $137,975.34. The adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget includes funding for the annual license cost and implementation for the first year ($68,841.46). Costs for Fiscal Year 2026- 27 ($33,723.85) and Fiscal Year 2027-28 ($35,410.03) will be incorporated into future budgets.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute, the Master Services Agreement with OpenGov, Inc. for permitting, planning and code enforcement software and implementation services totaling $137,975.34 over a three year period.

15 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 9K.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: New Service Request with the Los Angeles County Internal Services Department for GIS Modernization Services
FROM: Mario Flores, Management Analyst
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Jamie Murguia, Finance Manager
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year Service Request with the Los Angeles County Internal Services Department for Geographic Information Systems modernization services for an amount not-to-exceed $123,444.
BACKGROUND:
As a contract city, the City of Artesia ("City") contracts with Los Angeles County ("County") for General Services including public works services like building inspection, plan check, property assessment, enforcement of the municipal code, and other services. The General Services Agreement (GSA) was approved by Resolution No. 24- 2974, which provides the authority for the County to provide services to the City and that the City has the opportunity to add or augment general services on an "as-needed" basis. The current GSA began on July 1, 2024 and runs through June 30, 2029. Services rendered through the GSA are done so with Service Requests with the County Department providing the services. The City is looking to expand the services it receives from the County to include Geographic Information Systems (GIS) from the Internal Services Department (ISD).
The City is currently without an established GIS platform, which limits its ability to manage spatial data, conduct analysis, and support modern mapping tools essential for planning, building, public works, and engineering.
Additionally, with the potential approval of a new permitting and code enforcement software system through OpenGov, it is critical that the City’s GIS infrastructure be modernized to support the functionality and mapping components that are integral to the new software platform. The OpenGov system is designed to leverage accurate geospatial data for permit tracking, code enforcement case mapping, inspection routing, and reporting dashboards.
Parcel and addressing data is also housed inside the GIS system for routine actions such as obtaining building permits. Furthermore, spatial data generated through the GIS system can be made accessible to the community via interactive maps and tools on the City’s website, enhancing public access to information related to zoning, infrastructure, and development activity. A strong GIS foundation is essential to ensure the software operates effectively across all departments and provides the public with transparent, location-based services.
To meet this need, City staff coordinated with the ISD to develop a comprehensive, multi-year proposal for GIS modernization that aligns with and supports the City's broader digital transformation efforts.
ANALYSIS:
The ISD GIS modernization effort will unfold over a three-year period and include foundational data development, staff onboarding, integration with aerial imagery, web application development, and training. These improvements are necessary to ensure the successful implementation and ongoing operation of the expected OpenGov permitting and code enforcement platform.
Year 1 (FY 2025-26) - Total: $39,470
Join the Los Angeles Region Aerial Imagery Acquisition Consortium (LARIAC), gaining access to highresolution aerial imagery and related datasets.
Access web-based Connect Explorer GIS viewer, which provides LARIAC data in an easy-to-use format, along with County data such as parcels, streets, and addresses.
Onboard City staff to LARIAC with initial GIS configuration and training.
Conduct foundational data analysis and migration for parcels, zoning, addressing, and street centerlines. This is key data needed to enable geospatial permit and code enforcement tracking in the OpenGov permitting and code software.
Begin uploading and configuring City-specific data into the GIS viewer environment - which is proposed as a separate agreement with Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri).
Year 2 (FY 2026-27) - Total: $49,130
Renew LARIAC membership.
Evaluate the City's GIS infrastructure and recommend a licensing and platform strategy to support digital permitting options.
Configure infrastructure and develop essential GIS-enabled applications for use by Planning, Building, Public Works, and City Administration.
Migrate relevant data to ensure seamless integration with OpenGov's mapping and analytics functions.
Year 3 (FY 2027-28) - Total: $34,844
Continue GIS project management, provide ad-hoc technical and data support, and maintain GIS tools based on operational needs.
Enhance GIS tools and applications that interface with OpenGov and other system.
If the Service Request is approved, the ongoing services will be included in future iterations of the GSA the City holds with the County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total three-year cost for the GIS modernization project is $123,444. Funding for Year One ($39,470) has been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget. Years Two and Three will be included in future budgets as part of the City's ongoing technology upgrades supporting the implementation of the new permitting and code enforcement software.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to enter into a three-year Service Request with the Los Angeles County Internal Services Department for Geographic Information Systems modernization services in an amount not-to-exceed $123,444.

• Year 2 (FY 26-27): $ 49,130
• Year 3 (FY 27-28): $ 34,844
Scope of Work
This estimate is provided in response to the City of Artesia’s (“City”) request for Los Angeles County Internal Services Department (“ISD”) assistance to modernize the City’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) environment. This effort will leverage existing County data and infrastructure resources, such as authoritative parcel boundaries, County Public Works-managed infrastructure, aerial imagery, 3D elevation data, demographic estimates, and more.
This project will involve an analysis and modernization of the City’s existing processes. As needed, ISD will develop new web and mobile applications to meet essential business needs.
Application development is expected to use commercially-off-the-shelf (COTS) tools, rather than custom development.
The ISD team will analyze current and planned patterns of GIS usage and recommend a GIS licensing strategy. Any recommended licenses will be purchased and maintained independently by the City.
This project will involve the City joining the Los Angeles Region Aerial Imagery Acquisition Consortium (LARIAC), which produces high-resolution aerial imagery and derived products on three-year cycles at a cost shared by all consortium members. Please see attached LARIAC8 Product Guide.
Lastly, this project will involve comprehensive onboarding and training of City staff in the new GIS environment. Onboarding will include authorizing licenses and ensuring staff have access to data and application resources. Training support will involve the development of written and recorded training materials and hosting virtual and/or in-person training sessions. A GIS Project Manager will be assigned and host regular meetings to determine City staff training needs on a regular basis.
To achieve these goals, a phased multi-year approach is recommended to balance priorities, cost, and City and County staff time. Please see below for a list of target goals by year.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 9L.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Purchase Order to Engage Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Software Services
FROM: Mario Flores, Management Analyst
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Jamie Murguia, Finance Manager
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Order to engage Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (Esri) for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software services for an amount not-to-exceed $61,800 for a three year period.
BACKGROUND:
The City currently lacks a GIS platform, limiting its capabilities to effectively manage spatial data and support core City functions such as planning, permitting, engineering, and code enforcement. Additionally, with the potential approval of a new permitting and code enforcement software system through OpenGov, it is critical that the City’s GIS infrastructure be modernized to support the functionality and mapping components that are integral to the new software platform. All new software systems rely heavily on accurate and integrated GIS data for functionality such as parcel-level tracking, inspection routing, code enforcement mapping, and data driven dashboards.
GIS also supports key internal processes, including address and zoning layer management, and can enhance public transparency by making zoning, permit, and infrastructure information available through interactive maps on the City's website. Therefore, investing in a GIS platform is critical to supporting Citywide modernization and enabling robust, data-driven service delivery.
As part of this broader modernization effort, City staff recommends entering into a cloud-based Small Local Government Enterprise Agreement with Esri, the leading provider of GIS software worldwide.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed three-year agreement with Esri includes cloud-based access to ArcGIS Online and related tools tailored for small local governments. This Enterprise Agreement will provide the City with essential GIS user types, data storage credits, mobile worker licenses, access to advanced applications, and technical support. One of the most crucial features of this agreement is the ability to store the City's geospatial data securely in the cloud, ensuring centralized access and long-term data integrity. The City is currently working with Los Angeles County Internal Services Department (ISD) to create, update and manage this data through a separate agreement. Esri GIS software is an integral part of having a place to store and view the new geospatial data that ISD will create for the City.
The agreement with Esri includes the following components:
Annual Subscription Term: 3 years (2025-2028), with fees billed annually.
Access to ArcGIS Online User Types: Viewer, Contributor, Creator, Professional, and Mobile Worker ArcGIS Applications: Location Sharing and service credits for cloud usage Support and Training: Includes two Esri User Conference registrations per year and Help Desk support Software Use: Unlimited deployment within the organization, including consultant access for City benefit This agreement provides the City with a scalable and comprehensive GIS platform license capable of integrating with the future OpenGov permitting and code enforcement system and interdepartmental coordination, service delivery, and public access to geospatial data. This agreement with Esri differs from the County ISD service in that Esri provides the software infrastructure and cloud environment to store, view, and interact with the City's geospatial data, while the County ISD would be responsible for the creation, maintenance, and management of that data. In essence, Esri supplies the tools and platform, and County ISD supplies the data services. Together, these agreements support the City's broader GIS modernization initiative by ensuring both high-quality data and a robust system to manage it.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost for the three-year Esri Enterprise Agreement is $61,800, with annual payments of $20,600. Funding for Year One ($20,600) was partially allocated ($11,700) in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget, if approved, the remaining required balance of $8,900 will be updated with the mid-year budget. Years Two and Three will be programmed into future fiscal year budgets as part of the City's ongoing investment in digital services and software modernization.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Order to engage Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (Esri) for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software services for an amount not-to-exceed $61,800 for a three year period.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 9M.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Resolution Regarding Youth Community Access Grant Program Application Submission to the California Natural Resources Agency
FROM: Joshua Acevedo, Parks and Recreation Supervisor
Edith Guerra, Parks and Recreation Manager
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Jamie Murguia, Finance Manager
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-3060, approving the application for the Youth Community Access Grant Program, and authorize the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to apply for the grant.
BACKGROUND:
California voters passed the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (Proposition 64) on November 8, 2016. Proposition 64 created the Youth Education, Prevention, Early Intervention and Treatment Account, whereby the State Controller deposits 60 percent of marijuana tax for programs that emphasize accurate education, effective prevention, early intervention, school retention, and timely treatment services for youth, their families and caregivers. Following the passage of Proposition 68, the "California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018," the Youth Community Access Grant Program allotted approximately 18 million dollars towards projects that support youth access to natural or cultural resources with a focus on low-income and disadvantaged communities. Targeted efforts for this funding include community education and recreational amenities that support youth substance use prevention and early intervention.
ANALYSIS:
The City submitted the Artesia Great Adventure Program for funding consideration through the Youth Community Access Grant Program. The Great Adventure Program is a 15-month initiative designed to immerse residents in the remarkable natural diversity of California. By traveling through a range of landscapes during different seasons, participants will witness firsthand the dynamic changes in ecosystems and gain a deeper appreciation for their environmental value. This journey offers more than just scenic exploration, it encourages a lasting bond with nature and a heightened awareness of the need for conservation. Ultimately, the program is designed to inspire a community of mindful participants who are passionate about protecting and celebrating California’s unique environmental treasures.
Participants will gain knowledge and experiences that will cultivate a spirit of environmental stewardship and encourage active conservation, focusing on providing educational and outdoor experiences to under-served youth.
The program will allocate 60 percent of its time to classroom and educational activities, with the remaining 40 percent dedicated to outdoor trips and experiences. Grant deliverables include 30 trips over the course of 15 months, along with 40 total days of educational camps during the winter, spring, and summer, providing immersive learning experiences. The program is designed to serve a total of 1,220 youth participants, primarily from underserved communities ranging in age from 8 to 18 years old, with specific activities tailored to be age-appropriate and developmentally engaging.
The City was invited to submit a formal application for the Youth Community Access Grant Program based on the submitted proposal as outlined above.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with the adoption of the proposed Resolution. Staff is requesting $430,005 from the California National Resources Agency to support the program until March 2027. If awarded, the grant will cover all necessary expenses associated with the implementation of the Artesia Great Adventure Program, such as personnel salaries and benefits, materials and supplies, equipment, field trip and activity fees, meals, transportation, and programming costs for environmental education.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-3060, approving the application for the Youth Community Access Grant Program, and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to apply for the grant.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 9N.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Resolution Regarding Temporary Street Closure of Various City Streets to hold the 2nd Annual Artesia 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, November 15, 2025 FROM: Edith Guerra, Parks and Recreation Manager
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 25-3061, approving a highway permit for the temporary closure of various City streets, pursuant to Vehicle Code Section 21101(e) in connection with the Artesia 5k Run/Walk to be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025, and making a determination of exemption under CEQA.
BACKGROUND:
Last year, as part of the City’s 65th Anniversary celebration, a 5K run/walk event was organized to promote community engagement, healthy living, and civic pride. The event received an overwhelmingly positive response from the community, drawing participation from residents of all ages and showcasing strong volunteer support.
Due to the success of the 65th Anniversary 5K, Staff has determined that establishing the 5K as an annual event will continue to enhance community involvement and promote active lifestyles. The annual 5K will also provide a recurring opportunity to highlight the City's commitment to wellness, unity, and local traditions.
The 2nd Annual Artesia 5K Run/Walk will require a number of City Streets to be temporarily closed to traffic on Saturday, November 15, 2025 from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. The streets may reopened earlier, if the course is cleared of all participating runners/walkers.
ANALYSIS:
Street Closure Resolution Pursuant to the Vehicle Code
California Vehicle Code Section 21101(e) provides that a City may, by resolution, temporarily close all or a portion of any street in its jurisdiction, for “celebrations, parades, local special events and other purposes, when in the opinion of local authorities having jurisdiction or a public office or employee that the local authority designates by resolution, the closing is necessary for the safety and protection of persons who are to use that portion of the street during the temporary closing.” The temporary closure of a portion of the following streets will be required for the 5K:
Northbound Clarkdale Avenue from South Street to 187th Street Westbound 187th Street to Pioneer Boulevard
Northbound Pioneer Boulevard from 187th Street to 178th Street Westbound 178th Street from Pioneer Boulevard to Elaine Avenue Northbound Elaine Avenue from 178th Street to Artesia Boulevard Eastbound Artesia Boulevard from Elaine Avenue to Norwalk Boulevard Southbound Norwalk Street from Artesia Boulevard to Ashworth Street Eastbound Ashworth Street from Norwalk Boulevard to Elaine Avenue Southbound Elaine Avenue from Ashworth Street to South Street Westbound South Street from Elaine Avenue to Clarkdale Avenue The Temporary closure of the above mentioned streets is permissible within the scope of Vehicle Code Section 21101(e) because the temporary closure is for a special temporary event occurring within the City. Resolution No. 25-3061 will authorize the proposed temporary street closure pursuant to Section 21101(e) of the Vehicle Code. In order to ensure the 5K Run/Walk begins on time at 7:00 a.m., setup of temporary barricades and cones to designate closed areas will need to begin at 4:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 15th. Therefore, the Highway Permit proposes that the temporary street closure of the streets noted above begin at 4:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 15, 2025. The closure is proposed to last until at 10:00 a.m., or earlier once the course is cleared of all run/walkers, at which time the street will be reopened to traffic.
Evaluation of Street Closure
City Staff has reviewed the Highway Permit and the elements of the proposed activities and has determined that the proposed activities are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guideline Section 15301(c) (Class 1 Exemption). The proposed 5K Run/Walk map involves minor and temporary alterations to the vehicular use of a public street in connection with a temporary event held in the City. The segments of streets to be used for the 5K are to be closed to vehicular traffic for the duration of the event, which will occur on Saturday, November 15, 2025 from 4:00 a.m. and commencing at 10:00 a.m. the same day, are not anticipated to create any significant impact to vehicular traffic or parking in the City, due to only one lane of each street being closed to traffic. Persons seeking to obtain access to businesses and property along the event route during the street closures will be able to do so from other streets or from portions of the streets that will not be closed. In addition, City staff finds that there is no substantial evidence of any potential significant effect from the approval of the Highway Permit or from the activities to be allowed by the Highway Permit. Therefore, City Staff recommends that the City Council find that the proposed activities are exempt from CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the 5K event, including costs related to street closures, staff time, event operations, and promotional activities, has been allocated in the adopted Fiscal Year 2025–26 Budget under the Community Promotions budget These expenses will be offset through a combination of participant registration fees, sponsorship contributions, and fundraising efforts. This cost-sharing approach helps reduce the financial impact on the City while supporting a well-attended and valued community event.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 25-3061, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Artesia, California, Approving a Highway Permit for the Temporary Closure of Various City Streets, Pursuant to Vehicle Code Section 21101(e) in Connection with the Artesia 5k Run/Walk to be Held on Saturday, November 15, 2025, and Making a Determination of Exemption under CEQA.

The 5K will take place on various city streets, therefore closing portions of the street are necessary to ensure 5K participants are safe while participating in the event. The temporary closure of portions of the above-named streets are within the permissible scope of this Section because the temporary closures are for a special temporary event occurring within the City.
Section 3. City staff has reviewed the Highway Permit and the elements of the -2-
proposed activity and has determined that the proposed activity is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guideline Section 15301(c) (Class 1 Exemption). The proposed Festival and Parade involve minor and temporary alterations to the vehicular use of public streets in connection with a special event held in the City. The segments of the various city streets to be closed to vehicular traffic, which will occur for a short period on Saturday, November 15, 2025 from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. is necessary to host the 5K are not anticipated to create any significant impact to vehicular traffic or parking in the City because business and property owners on the streets used for the event will be able to access their businesses and properties from other streets and directions. In addition, there is no substantial evidence of any other potential significant effect from the approval of the Highway Permit or from the proposed activity to be allowed by the Highway Permit. The City Council has reviewed the City staff’s determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staff determination of exemption.
Section 4. City Staff has reviewed the proposed temporary closure of the various city streets for the 5K, and find that all of these elements of the proposed activities will not create an unsafe traffic condition and that these activities are proposed to be undertaken in a manner safe for pedestrians, event participants, and the vehicular traffic.
Section 5. Based on all the evidence in the record of this matter, the City Council hereby approves the Highway Permit for the 5K.
Section 6. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 21101(e), the City Council hereby confirms and approves the temporary closure of various city streets to be closed to vehicular traffic, which will occur for a short period on Saturday, November 15, 2025 at 4:00 a.m. through 10:00 a.m. is necessary to host the 5K or for such longer period of time on those days as determined necessary by City staff or the Sheriff’s Department to maintain the safety of persons attending the 5K.

League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 8, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 9, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 10, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 9P.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Appointment for Beautification and Maintenance Committee FROM: Jennifer Alderete, City Clerk
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the appointments to be made by Councilmember Manalo.
BACKGROUND:
Artesia Municipal Code (AMC) Sections 2-2.303-2-2.304 state that each newly elected Councilmember shall appoint or re-appoint a resident to serve as a commissioner at a regular council meeting following the canvass of the general election. This applies to five advisory bodies: the Beautification and Maintenance Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, Public Safety Commission, and the Measure M Citizens' Committee. At the January 13, 2025 meeting, Councilmember Manalo re-appointed her commissioners, with the exception of the Planning Commission, which had a vacant seat.
At the February 10, 2025 meeting, she removed her appointment to the Beautification and Maintenance Commission and also made an appointment to the Planning Commission. This left the Beautification and Maintenance Commission seat vacant. The vacancy has been posted since January. Councilmember Manalo now appoints John Oudyk to the Beautification and Maintenance Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this item.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 11A.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Ad Hoc Committee for Public Service Center
FROM: Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council form a Public Service Center Design Ad-Hoc Committee and appoint two Council Members to work with Staff on the development of the design and implementation of the Public Service Center.
BACKGROUND:
In August 2024, the City Council approved an Agreement with BOA Architecture to work with the City to design and develop the new Public Service Center in the former Artesia Library space. Staff has been working with the design team since that time and have reached a point where the 90 percent designs are ready to share with a committee.
Staff is seeking additional input from an Ad-Hoc Committee prior to presenting a final design to the City Council for approval. After reviewing the City's existing standing committee list, and the nature of the renovation project, it was determined that the project does not fit within the scope of any existing Committee. Therefore, the best route forward is to form a Public Service Center Design Ad-Hoc Committee specifically for this project.
ANALYSIS:
The design for the Public Service Center has reached 90 percent and is ready to share with a Committee once it is formed. Staff is looking to set up the initial meeting with the Ad-Hoc Committee members within the next two weeks to ensure the project continues to move forward. Following feedback from the Ad-Hoc Committee, BOA Architects will revise the design as necessary so the design can be presented to the City Council for approval. Following Council approval, construction documents will be developed so the project may be bid out for construction. The Ad-Hoc Committee will automatically disband upon the filing of a Notice of Completion for the Public Service Center project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the formation of the Public Service Center Design Ad-Hoc Committee.
The cost of the agreement with BOA Architecture is funded with a grant from the Regional Parks and Open Space District.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends the City Council form a Public Service Center Design Ad-Hoc Committee and appoint two Council Members to work with Staff on the development of the design and implementation of the Public Service Center.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 11, 2025 ITEM NO: 11B.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Resolution Regarding a General Fund Reserve Policy FROM: Jamie Murguia, Finance Manager
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:
Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-3063, adopting a General Fund Reserve Policy.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Artesia ("City") provides a wide range of services that impact the public safety and the quality of life of its residents and community members every day. Appropriate reserves are a key attribute of a financially stable organization and are an important component of the City’s overall financial health. Strong reserves position an organization to weather significant economic downturns more effectively, manage the consequences of outside agency actions that may result in revenue reductions, and address unexpected emergencies. Establishing a formalized Reserve Policy (“Policy”) will serve as the framework to enable the City to meet its financial commitments and address unexpected future events in a fiscally prudent manner.
ANALYSIS:
Staff first brought forward a Reserve Policy for consideration by the City Council in Fiscal Year 2023-24. At the time, Council did not take any action on the Policy, citing the need for the City to complete all financial audits in order to make sound financial policy decisions. With the City current in all areas of financial reporting, there is a desire from Council to revisit the Policy.
In an effort to present a sound recommendation, Staff reviewed standards from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). Many government agencies utilize the GFOA best practices when establishing financial policies; therefore, Staff looked to this organization for a "best practice" on reserves. The GFOA recommends a minimum baseline level equivalent to two months (roughly 20%) of regular general fund operating revenues or expenditures. However, the GFOA also encourages flexibility; suggesting that governments adjust their target fund balance based on factors like revenue predictability, expenditure volatility, potential for one-time disasters, and the government's overall financial health.
A survey of surrounding cities was conducted to determine at what level similar size, as well as nearby cities had established their General Fund Committed Reserve. The following table represents information from responsive cities, as well as information that was easily accessible on comparable cities' websites. Of the seven cities below, the Committed Reserve level ranges from 20 percent to 75 percent, with an average level of 39 percent. For comparison purposes, Staff used the best fit, if multiple reserves were established by the comparison city, and noted any variances.
City Name Reserve Notes
Cerritos 25% Formal policy. General Fund reserve minimum set at 25%, with a target of 35%.
La Palma 50%
Formal policy. Emergency Reserve minimum set at 50%. If there is an operating surplus at the end of each fiscal year, 25% must go to the Emergency Reserve.
Lakewood 20%
Formal policy. Economic Uncertainties Reserve minimum set at 20%. Also maintain Committed Reserves for: Self Insurance, Pension Obligations, Capital Projects, Refuse Stabilization, and Construction In Progress
Montebello 30%
Formal policy. The 30% is split between two Committed Reserves: Economic Uncertainties (25%) and Unfunded Liabilities Reserve (5%).The percentage is calculated off of operating revenue. Different from all other cities.
Paramount 50%
Formal policy. Operating Reserve target level is 50%. There is also an Economic Uncertainties Reserve of 10% that is required to be maintained and utilized first before the Operating Reserve can be tapped.
Stanton 20% Formal policy. Economic Uncertainties Reserve minimum set at 20%.
Signal Hill 75%
Formal Policy. Goal is a combined 75-100% of General Fund expenditures for both the General Fund Unassigned Target Balance, and Economic Uncertainties Reserve The recommendation that the City establish the target General Fund Committed Reserve at 45 percent of General Fund Expenditures was reached after the City Manager and Finance Manager reviewed the relevant information, as well as took into consideration the City's revenue predictability, expenditure volatility, potential for one-time disasters, and the government's overall financial health. While the voters did establish Measure AAA in November 2024, the Transactions and Use Tax only went into effect on April 1, 2025. The City does not have enough revenue trend data to determine whether or not the revenue targets will be met. Further, the Council recently acknowledged that there may be economic consequences related to immigration enforcement activities. Sales tax data for the most recent fiscal quarter (March - June) is not yet available for Staff to analyze those impacts. Staff advises remaining cautiously optimistic when it comes to predicting revenue, while planning conservatively when it comes to any future economic downturn.
On Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Staff convened the Finance Committee at a noticed public meeting to present preliminary research and recommendations. A draft Reserve Policy was presented to the Finance Committee, recommending that the City establish the target General Fund Committed Reserve at 45 percent of General Fund Expenditures. Both members of the Finance Committee were supportive of Staff's recommendation, as well as the draft policy (presented herein as Attachment A to resolution No. 25-3036).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund Budget associated with adoption of Resolution No. 25-3063. At Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2024, the Unassigned Fund Balance totaled $7,109,758, while the Committed Reserve totaled $5,315,000. With the adoption of Resolution No. 25-3036, Staff is recommending to reduce the Unassigned Fund Balance by $3,072,434 and add that amount to the current Committed Reserve of $5,315,000 in order to reach the recommended funding level of 45 percent of Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditures. Staff is not making any recommendations for the remaining balance of of $4,037,324 in the Unassigned Reserve at this time. It is Staff's intent to revisit this issue with the mid-year budget.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-3063, adopting a General Fund Reserve Policy.

General Fund
Fund Balance Reserve Policy
I. BACKGROUND/PURPOSE
The City of Artesia provides a wide range of services that impact the public safety and the quality of life of its residents and community members every day. Appropriate reserves are a key attribute of a financially stable organization and are an important component of the City’s overall financial health. Strong reserves position an organization to weather significant economic downturns more effectively, manage the consequences of outside agency actions that may result in revenue reductions, and address unexpected emergencies. Establishing a formalized Reserve Policy (the “Policy”) will serve as the framework to enable the City to meet its financial commitments and address unexpected future events in a fiscally prudent manner.
II. POLICY
This policy is designed to mitigate current and future risks and to ensure a balanced budget.
Beginning with the Fund Balance for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2024, establish target General Fund Committed Fund Balance at a minimum of 45% of General Fund Expenditures.
III. USE OF RESERVE FUNDS
a) Purpose: These funds are committed to mitigate economic uncertainties, local disasters, and other financial hardships or downturns in the local or national economy.
b) Target Level: The City’s target will be 45% of the General Fund operating expenditures.
c) Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: This reserve may be utilized as needed to pay outstanding operating expenditures due to budgeted revenue shortfalls. Use may include, but is not limited to:
i. Significant decrease in sales, property, or transactions and use tax, or other revenues.
ii. Reductions in revenue due to actions by the state/federal government.
IV. PERIODIC REVIEW
While the City’s financial reserves provide security against unexpected emergencies and contingencies, the policies for setting those target levels should be periodically reviewed to balance the community’s level of risk tolerance against the City’s operating expenditure needs. Staff will bring forward a Reserve Policy for adoption, annually, with the Fiscal Year Budget.
