SUBJECT: Review the Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget
RECOMMENDATION
Review the proposed recommendations for the Fiscal Year (FY) 20 25-26 Budget and Citywide Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND
The City of Burbank experience d several years of consistent growth in the three years following the COVID-19 pandemic; however, Burbank’s economy has experienced more mixed results in 2025. There are positive signs, such as the recovery of the local entertainment industry from recent labor disputes , a healthy growth in tourism, and the continued investment in new businesses and development throughout the City. However, there are also several factors of concern, including sluggish sales tax returns, an uptick in unemployment, the security of Burbank’s federal funding sources and the impacts of shifting federal policies on the stock market and the overall U.S. economy. This level of uncertainty warrants caution as the City moves forward with its proposed financial plan for FY 202 5-26. Fortunately, prior City Council decisions to increase reserves and set aside funds for future liabilities have placed Burbank in a favorable position to weather any future economic instability in the coming years.
The FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget was developed using a conservative and responsible approach for both revenues and appropriations while meeting the community’s needs and
2 addressing the goals established by the City Council for the upcoming year. The FY 2025- 26 Proposed Budget is balanced ; however, the five -year financial forecast reflects a recurring budget deficit starting in FY 2026-27 through FY 2029-30. While expenses are outpacing revenues in succeeding years, s taff is committed to mitigating the future recurring deficit by implementing prior cost-saving initiatives and identifying future efficiencies, revenue -generating opportunities, and financial policies that will provide long-term recurring savings to the City. The Proposed FY 2025-26 Budget also includes additional one -time funding towards paying down pension liabilities and the ongoing investment in maintaining and improving the City’s infrastructure, in support of continuous improvement and financial sustainability.
DISCUSSION
FY 2025-26 General Fund Budget Overview
Based on the projected FY 20 25-26 revenues and proposed recurring appropriations, staff i s projecting a recurring balance of approximately $1 million in FY 20 25-26 (see details included within the FY 20 25-26 Budget Matrix in Attachment 1). This does not include several proposed discussion papers addressed later in this report. Factoring in the anticipated ending balance from FY 2024-25, contributions to reserves, and proposed one-time appropriations, staff is expecting an available one-time balance of $21.1 million in the General Fund at the end of FY 2025-26.
FY 2025-26 Recurring General Fund Revenue
Despite elevated interest rates and continued inflation, households and businesses largely maintained spending levels in recent quarters. However, the types of spending has shifted since the end of the pandemic, with consumers preferring travel and experiences over the purchase of tangible items like automobiles and home furnishings.
As a result, economic growth in FY 2024-25 has not been as robust as the years following the Pandemic. The impact of tariffs, recent Federal polic y changes , and local wildfire recovery remains uncertain. Burbank’s diverse revenue sources will help to sustain the City’s economy, with moderate revenue growth expected in FY 2025 -26. The impact of tariffs, recent Federal policy changes, and local wildfire recovery remains uncertain as to how it may impact forecasted revenues in the coming year. As a result, staff took a conservative approach to forecasting revenues, particularly those categories that are most susceptible to fluctuations in the economy.
Burbank’s General Fund recurring revenue estimates of $263.5 million for FY 202 5-26 represent a 3.5% increase over the revised FY 202 3-24 projections. Sales tax and property tax continue to be the General Fund's largest revenue sources, representing 56% of recurring revenue.
3 Table 1 shows the actual FY 2023-24 revenue, the adopted and revised estimates for FY 2024-25, and the projection for FY 202 5-26. For further detail on the City’s revenues, please refer to the “Revenues” section of the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget.

NOTE: FY 2023-24 includes $11.7M of non-recurring revenue.
• Sales Tax: Sales tax results for the second quarter of FY 202 4-25 (fourth quarter calendar year 2024) were recently released. Burbank’s receipts from October through December were 0.5% above the fourth quarter of the prior year, on an adjusted basis.
Burbank experienced a positive growth rate for the quarter compared to the County and State with declines of 2.8% and 1.2%, respectively. The Business and Industry category experienced a 28% increase this quarter due to the purchase of office equipment for media storage. Entertainment equipment also contributed to the increase in this category which may be indicative of a recovery from the writer s’ and actor’s strikes that took place in 2023 . Restaurants and Hotels increased by 3.2%, attributable to increases in casual dining and catering.
Measure P, which is the City’s Transaction and Use Tax (TUT), experienced a 4% increase for the fourth quarter of 2024 versus the same period in 2023. Measure P is a district tax that the City receives only if goods are delivered or first used in Burbank. 4 Overall, Burbank’s sales tax revenues are anticipated to decline 1.6% for FY 2025-26 based on the forecast from, the City’s sales tax consultant, HdL. Consumer confidence has waned in response to recent Federal policy shifts and the resulting economic instability. Industries like automobiles and electronics will be impacted by tariffs as well as continued elevated interest rates. Household consumption has shifted away from goods to non-taxable items like services, travel, and entertainment. This trend is expected to continue into FY 202 5-26 with a forecasted softening in revenue from taxable sales.
• Property Tax: A total tax of 1% is levied on the Assessed Value (AV) of property as determined by the Los Angeles (LA) County Assessor. The City of Burbank receives approximately 18.5% of the 1% levy on the AV. Under Prop osition 13, AV on parcels with continuing ownership may change by inflation as defined by the California Consumer Price Index (CPI), up to a maximum increase of 2%. The State has released CPI growth, and for FY 202 5-26, the AV of properties will increase by 2%.
Other sources of AV growth are change of ownership, new construction, recapture of prior Prop 8 impairments of value, change to values for unsecured items such as aircraft, and post Redevelopment residual distribution.
Compared to FY 202 3-24, the AV for the entire city increased by 4.9% for FY 2024-
25. General Fund related AV increased by 5%. The citywide AV increase between FY 2023-24 and FY 202 4-25 was $1.6 billion. The largest AV increase s were due to assessments in unsecured property with several e ntertainment companies. This added $92.5 million to the tax roll. Staff is projecting property tax revenue to increase by 5% for FY 2025 -26, reflecting the continued growth with larger developments throughout the City.
Despite market fluctuations, t he price for a single -family home in Burbank remained flat for the first quarter of 202 5, with the median sale price at $1,270,000 and the average sale price at $1,358,308. However, sales volume remain ed low due to the elevated interest rate environment.
While the housing market and local development efforts are expected to remain strong in 2025, there are some hurdles that could present risks to Burbank’s revenues in the upcoming year, namely inflation, policy changes from the Federal government, and the impact of property tax deferrals and supplemental refunds to homeowners affected by the Eaton and Palisades Fires. Because the fires occurred halfway through the fiscal year, it is likely that the losses may translate into secured negative supplemental assessments for those properties. The impact of these reassessments will be spread across all agencies in Los Angeles County in FY 2024-25 and/or 2025-26, depending on the timing of work to be done by the Los Angeles County Assessor, Auditor Controller, and Tax Collector. The potential exposure to Burbank is estimated at up to 5 $840,000 in lost or deferred property tax revenue, but foretunately those impacts will be one time in nature.
• Utility User’s Tax (UUT): The UUT rate of 7% is applied to telephone, gas, and electric usage. Unlike other cities, Burbank does not apply this tax to water, cable television, sewer, and refuse collection usage/sales. The FY 2025 -26 rates for electricity will be adopted at the publ ic hearing on May 20, 2025. UUT revenue is anticipated to increase by 5.9% for FY 2025 -26. The growth is attributable to the electric rate increase and higher natural gas prices which are offset by the continual decline in wireless revenue with the reclassification of data to non-taxable information services and the reduced electric usage due to efficiencies.
• Service Charges: Service charges are fees charged to users of city-provided services and are designed to at least partially cover the costs incurred for providing these services. The construction of large developments throughout the City, and the elevated participation in recreation activities contributed to the increased service charge revenues for FY 2024 -25. For FY 2025-26, Parks and Recreation will see an increase in revenues from the expansion of the afterschool program and a growing demand for aquatics classes. Fire inspections and new processing fees for real estate services are expected to boost revenues. While it is also anticipated that plan check fees will increase from the sizable developments planned within the City, the tariffs introduced by the Federal government could slow down activity to residential renovation projects over pricing concerns on construction materials. Considering the above factors, sta ff is forecasting a modest increase in service charge revenues of
2.4% for FY 2025-26.
• Parking/Traffic/Other Fines: Parking fines are issued by the Burbank Police Department and represent a small portion of the General Fund revenue. Fines are dependent on the amount of the fine, the number of citations issued, and the amount retained by the County and State agencies. For FY 2025-26, revenue in this category is anticipated to increase by 10.1% from the revised FY 2024 -25 budget with expanded citywide parking enforcement, collections, and administration now managed by a third-party.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): The City receives 10% TOT on short-term lodging rentals within the city limits. The continued economic recovery, economic development efforts, and aggressive marketing of by the Tourism Based Improvement District (TBID) have all led to increasing TOT reven ues. Hotel occupancy rates for February 2025 were at 79.1% compared to the prior year’s occupancy rate of 66.5%.
According to the Visit California website for the February 2024 update, California domestic visitation is expect ed to increase by 2.4% while international visitation is expected to grow by 11%. For FY 2025-26, TOT is anticipated to increase by 4% from 6 the revised FY 2024-25 projection.
• Transient Parking Tax (TPT): The current rate for TPT is 12% and is charged by parking lot operators (e.g., airports, businesses, hotels, and restaurants) for short - term parking. With approximately 85% of the parking tax revenue derived from lots at or directly serving the Hollywood B urbank Airport, the City’s TPT is dependent on travel demand. Passenger counts at the airport increased by 8.5% in 2024 compared to 2023. Staff anticipates that trend to continue in FY 2025 -26, with TPT revenues expected to increase by 4%, compared to the revised budget of FY 2024-25.
FY 2025-26 Recurring General Fund Expenditures:
The Mid-Year Financial Report was presented to the City Council on February 25, 2025, and projected a recurring General Fund balance of $1.8 million heading into FY 2025-26.
While current inflation has slowed down, the price of consumer goods and services along with labor costs continue to escalate. In addition, the hardened insurance market in California has significantly impacted indemnification, driving general liability and property insurance rates higher. Proposed recurring General Fund appropriations for FY 2025-26 are $262.4 million, an increase of approximately 6.8% over last year’s adopted recurring budget of $245.7 million.
As part of the budget process, the City Manager reviewed proposed budget requests from all City departments . New budget requests were prioritized in accordance with their adherence to the City Council’s stated goals for the year. Staff has made significant efforts to maintain spending at existing budget levels citywide. However, several departments identified immediate needs that required funding as well as a number of opportunities for service enhancements that align with the City Council’s identified goals.
Roughly $2.2 million in new General Fund recurring budget requests ($1.7 million net of revenue) and $4 million in one -time requests were incorporated into the FY 202 5-26 Proposed Budget. The following chart summarizes the total new proposed General Fund budget requests (net of revenue) by department. A comprehensive listing of all budget requests by department is included in the Proposed FY 2025-26 Budget Document under the “New Budget Requests” tab.

The following are some of the notable new items included in the Proposed FY 2025 -26 Budget:
➢ The Burbank Fire Department is requesting one-time funding to expand the EMS division by increasing the peak-hour ambulance pilot program from 40 hours to a 24/7 schedule. Other one-time appropriation requests for supplies and staffing will support a Fire Recruitment Academy in FY 2025-26.
➢ The Community Development Department is proposing to add a new Parking Services Manager to support parking management strategies for Downtown Burbank, parking leases, and parking permits. In addition, a one-time request to increase the number of service contractors for homeless outreach services from three to five.
➢ The Burbank Police Department is requesting funding to expand the parking control program to Downtown Burbank. Additional funding is requested for citation processing costs due to the higher volume of citations issued by the City’s third - party parking enforcement vendor. One-time funds are requested for the digital scanning of records to enhance accessibility, reduce physical storage needs, and ensure long-term preservation of critical documents.
➢ The Parks and Recreation Department is adding funding to solidify the pilot Park Patrol Program launched in November 2024. This will enhance safety measures and improve the overall experience for park users citywide. Funding is also requested for additional tree trimming services, as well as the expansion of day camps and aquatics programming.
8 Discussion Papers:
At this time, eight items have been identified as discussion papers for FY 202 5-26. In total, these items have a General Fund recurring impact of $507,091 plus a one-time cost of $1,176,000. Should the City Council approve all discussion papers as proposed, the General Fund recurring balance would be reduced to $519,000 in FY 2025-26, and the year-end projected cash balance would drop to $19.4 million.
A summary of these items , along with the individual discussion papers , can be found in the “Discussion Papers” tab of the Proposed Budget Document. Throughout the Budget presentation process, City Council members will have the opportunity to identify additional items that they would like to consider for discussion papers. These will be compiled and reviewed at the Budget presentation on May 20th.
Citywide Fee Schedule
The FY 2025-26 Proposed Fee Schedule remains in compliance with the City Council’s adopted policy, which provides a set of principles to determine when, and if, cost recovery is appropriate for different types of fees for services based on the benefits a user receives above a general taxpayer. Some of the more notable changes to the Fee Schedule for FY 2025-26 include new fees for the temporary encroachment in the paid parking meter zone, processing fees for real estate services, additional recycling and organics carts, vegetation clearance, and parking violations for large non-commercial vehicles.
For FY 202 5-26, staff is proposing to increase all fees Citywide in accordance with the City Council’s cost recovery policy. The goal of this policy is to establish a consistent and objectively based fee structure to align with industry-accepted best practices and reaffirm the City’s compliance with Proposition 26 , which limits certain fees collected to the reasonable cost of providing the service. The most recent citywide User Fee Study was done in FY 2022 -23 to review the City’s fee structure and determine an accurate accounting for the true cost of providing various programs and services. In accordance with the recommendations from that study, staff is recommending the majority of the City’s fees be adjusted by CPI in order to maintain the current level of recovery.
It is important to note that the Burbank Program, Activity, and Service Subsidy (PASS) Program provides financial assistance for Burbank residents to afford them the opportunity to participate in Citywide services. 857 participants are currently enrolled in the program, with subsidy amounts ranging from 40%-80% depending on the activity or service. The Parks and Recreation Department oversees the administration of the PASS program, and detailed information can be found on the department’s website.
FY 2025-26 State Budget Proposal
In early January, Governor Newsom released his proposed budget for FY 2025 -26. This proposal serves as the beginning of deliberations in the State Legislature, leading to final 9 budget adoption in June 2025. The proposal calls for a $322.2 billion budget, with a General Fund total of $228.9 billion. The proposed budget estimates $23 billion in various budget solutions in FY 2025 -26. Last year, the administration was proactive by t aking a multi-year approach and addressing shortfalls ahead of time to propose a balanced budget for the upcoming year. Revenue receipts continued to improve since June 2024 and have contributed to strong growth for fiscal years 2024-25 and 2025-26.
The budget includes three categories of discretionary proposals:
• Short-term proposals providing budget savings of $2.2 billion, of which $1.6 billion is related to schools and community colleges.
• New discretionary General Fund spending of $570 million for various programs and $150 million for expansions of existing/new tax expenditures. • New discretionary reserve balance of $4.5 billion for the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties (SFEU), to provide the State support to deal with unanticipated cost increases, such as for wildfires and modest revenue declines.
The governor is revising the revenue forecast from the 2024 Budget Act due to the stronger than anticipated performance of the economy, stock market, and cash receipts.
The three main drivers of the revision are as follows:
• Personal income tax ($12.6 billion)
• Corporation tax ($2.5 billion)
• Pooled money interest ($2.0 billion)
The 2024 Budget Act assumed withdrawals from the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA), also known as the Rainy -Day Fund, of $5.1 billion in FY 2024 -25 and $7.1 billion in FY 2025-26. The BSA receives 1.5% of the General Fund tax revenue as well as a portion from capital gains. The FY 2025 -26 proposed budget maintains the planned $7.1 billion withdrawal from BSA. The State has only used half of the budget reserves to date.
The administration is continuing to implement the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Senate Bill 1 (SB-1), which provides funding for both state and local transportation infrastructure. SB-1 increased the gas fuel tax by 12 cents, providing a stable and ongoing increase in state transportation funding. SB-1 funding is protected under Article 19 of the California state constitution for transportation purposes only. The City of Burbank is estimated to receive SB -1 funding of $2. 8 million in FY 202 5-26, which assumes the inflationary adjustment. Staff will continue to monitor developments in the state budget process and provide updates to Council as necessary.
General Fund Financial Forecast
The intended purpose of the financial forecast is to foster an understanding of long -term financial trends and their impact on the City’s overall financial picture. This long -term 10 perspective allows the City Council and City management to make informed financial decisions today while fully understanding the future financial impacts of decisions.
Projected Revenues and Expenditures:
Forecasted revenues are driven by the parameters included in Attachment 2 . These assumptions are inherently conservative; however, there is a risk that certain revenues may not perform as projected due to economic cycles, changing legislation, and other external factors. Staff will update projected revenues periodically throughout the year as new information becomes available.
It is staff’s expectation that recurring revenue growth over the next five years (FY 20 25- 26 through FY 202 9-30) will average 3.9% while recurring expenditures will average
4.6%. Revenue expectations have been revised based on the most recent economic data available, as well as recent and planned business openings and developments . The average revenue growth in the current forecast includes projections of 1.4% for Sales Tax and 5% for Property Tax, the City’s largest general fund revenue sources.
The two main drivers of expenditures for the General Fund are salaries and benefits, including the CalPERS rates that are applied to the base salaries. The forecasted expenditure growth assumes the following costs:
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Projected Costs:
Salaries and benefits currently comprise approximately 74% of the General Fund recurring budget. As such, the City’s MOU negotiation process for the various bargaining groups plays a significant role in determining the City’s financial position . All bargaining groups have current MOUs for FY 2024 -25 except for the Burbank City Employees Association (BCEA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).
Aligning with Council’s Financial Policies related to employee compensation, the General Fund forecast includes assumptions for salary and benefit growth over the next five years based on projected market rates for all employee groups. Market rates are determined through salary and benefits surveys, which compare the City’s job classifications to those of similar organizations throughout the region. The City of Burbank calculates the average salary paid for comparable positions to determine whether they are at market value.
Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) Costs:
Managing costs associated with pensions continues to be a challenge for CalPERS cities throughout California, including Burbank. Based on the City’s most recent CalPERS actuarial reports, Burbank has an Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) of just over $439 million across the City’s three pension plans. The funded status for the City’s three plans is currently 77.1% for Miscellaneous, 70.9% for Police, and 74.6% for Fire, for an average of 74.2%, up just slightly from 73.9% in the prior year. Table 3 shows the actual CalPERS employer rates and UAL contributions for the three employee classifications for the 11 current fiscal year (FY 2024-25), the upcoming fiscal year (FY 2025-26), and the projected amounts for the following two fiscal years (FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28).

For FY 2025-26 staff is proposing to prepay the UAL payment to CalPERS, which will result in a net savings of $1,159,879 citywide.
It is important to note that Burbank’s projected liability payments are based on an annual actuarial study that assumes CalPERS will meet their expected rate of return of 6.8% annually. Recent volatility in the market has resulted in investment losses throughout the country, and CalPERS was no exception. At their April 15 board meeting, CalPERS CEO Marcie Frost announced that the agency lost $26 billion in market value in the two weeks following President Trump’s tariff announcements. Additionally , the agen cy embarked upon a new experience study that will analyze current assumptions such as life expectancy, disability rates, and inflation, which is slated for release in September 2025.
Any investment losses experienced in the current fiscal year or changes to actuarial assumptions will impact Burbank’s funded status as well as the City’s required UAL payments beginning in fiscal year 2027-28.
The City continues to take measures toward mitigating future pension cost increases , including sending Additional Discretionary Payments (ADPs) to CalPERS over the City’s required contributions to decrease Burbank’s unfunded liability . As part of the FY 2024 - 25 budget process, Council adopted an expanded pension funding plan , which includes a citywide contribution of $9 million in FY 2024 -25 and another $4.5 million ADP in FY 2025-26 to help reduce future pension liability. Included in the Proposed FY 2025 -26 Budget is an additional $3 million General Fund contribution, which will bring the total ADP to $7.5 million for the coming fiscal year. This investment will generate an estimated additional $500,000 in recurring budget savings, and aligns with the City Council’s Pension Funding Commitment Policy, which requires the City to contribute half of any 12 year-end General Fund balance in excess of 6% of the General Fund’s budgeted recurring appropriations
Burbank also maintains a Section 115 trust for pension obligations, which was established in June of 2020. The Section 115 Trust allows the City to set aside funds that could be used to help support future pension -related economic volatility. As of March 2025, the current balance in the trust is $32.1 million.
Financial Reserves
The City of Burbank continues to fulfill the City Council’s Financial Policies by fully funding our financial reserves. The City’s policy is to designate 15% of the General Fund’s operating budget to its working capital reserve , 5% to a designated emergency reserve, and up to 5% to a Budget Stabilization reserve, as adopted by the City Council in previous years. Based on the current figures for the proposed budget as presented, the City will contribute the following amounts to the reserves for FY 2025-26:
➢ $2,517,175 to the Working Capital Reserve
➢ $839,059 to the Emergency Reserve
➢ $839,059 to the Budget Stabilization Reserve
The City also maintains a Compensated Absences reserve, which was established to offset the City’s unfunded accrued leave payout liability and fund estimated annual payoffs that are not included in the operating budget. As of June 30, 2024, the City’s total General Fund accrued leave payout liability is estimated at $16.1 million. Currently, the City has $3.9 million set aside in the Compensated Absences reserve. To fulfill the policy approved by the City Council that this reserve is maintained at or above 25% of the General Fund’s total outstanding liability, staff is recommending a contribution of $77,783 in FY 2025-26.
Infrastructure Funding
Adhering to the City Council’s adopted Infrastructure Maintenance, Repair, and Improvement Policy, the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget continues to contribute half of the Measure P sales tax revenue to the Municipal Infrastructure Fund 534, in addition to the annual $4.7 million General Fund maintenance of effort.
The FY 202 5-26 Proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) continues the City’s efforts towards addressing the infrastructure needs, with just over $31.5 million in proposed general city capital spending from 15 different funds and funding sources , alongside $4.7 million in annual Fund 534 maintenance dollars. Included in the proposed infrastructure program is an investment in the City’s streets and sidewalks of $4.9 million, along with a variety of capital projects which include building improvements, park playground and facility upgrades, street and pedestrian improvements, and funding 13 towards the future development of a new Central Library and Civic Center. Proposed Municipal Infrastructure funded projects include the restoration and modernization of the Police Department’s Forensic Services area, facility improvements at 2244 N. Buena Vista, planning and development for the replacement of the Olive Recreation Center, Palm Avenue paseo upgrades, and shade structure installations at Johnny Carson, Gross, and Valley Parks, in addition to the annual facilities small capital improvements.
The proposed CIP projects were presented to the Infrastructure Oversight Board (IOB) for review at two public meetings on February 2 7 and March 2 7, 2025, the second of which the IOB formally approved the capital plan for inclusion in the Proposed Budget.
Information on individual CIP project appropriations proposed for FY 202 5-26 can be found in the “Capital Improvement Program” tab of the FY 202 5-26 Proposed Budget Document.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity includes the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget and has no potential for resulting in either a direct or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
As such, it is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.
CONCLUSION
As illustrated in Chart 1, staff is projecting a recurring General Fund balance of $1 million in FY 20 25-26, with that balance giving way to a budget deficit of approximately $ 2.4 million in FY 2026-27, prior to the consideration of discussion papers . The City’s cash position remains strong, with a projected year -end non-recurring General Fund balance of $21 million at the end of FY 202 5-26, if the budget is adopted as proposed . It should be noted that there are several risks associated with our projections, including potential CalPERS losses and changes to assumptions, impacts of federal actions, and general fluctuations in the economy.
14 Chart 1 - General Fund Financial Forecast FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30 (in millions)
Burbank is heading into FY 202 5-26 with a proposed budget that reflects the City Council’s goals and priorities but still adheres to the City’s values of fiscal responsibility.
The City Council has consistently pursued sound fiscal policies and strategies like strengthening revenues, paying down pension liabilities, building up reserves, and utilizing one -time funds to make strategic investments to reduce future recurring expenses. In addition to the projected FY 202 5-26 year-end General Fund Balance of $21 million, Burbank’s formal reserves total approximately $61.4 million and will increase with the adoption of this budget. These funds will allow the City to mitigate the impact of a potential economic downturn on the Burbank community over the next several years.
Staff will continue to monitor any economic conditions or legislative actions that may impact the City’s financial position and provide updates to the Council.
A dedicated City Council meeting to review the proposed FY 202 5-26 Budget is scheduled for May 6, 2025, with continued discussion planned for May 20, 2025. The public hearing and adoption of the citywide budget and fee schedule are scheduled for June 3, 2025. Per the City’s Charter, the FY 2025-26 Budget must be adopted by June 30, 2025.

Development Director - Business

(Affordable Housing)
The Housing Authority Manager is making significant
changes to the City’s relationship with the Burbank
Housing Corporation and is acting as the liaison for
the Fairview project. While these two projects will end in a couple of years, there will be new projects to
replace them as Council continues to desire more
assistance for tenants and increased City regulation.
During the past few years, the Section has also
added 67 Emergency Vouchers and 35 other
Vouchers with additional applications underway.
Further, the section has taken on affordability
agreements for all new development projects that
contain thousands of affordable units. It is no longer
feasible for the Housing Authority Manager to
continue fully working on projects while also
supervising the team, therefore we are requesting an
upgrade to Assistant Director.

An additional Intermediate Clerk is warranted as the
Housing Division continues to grow, and the number
of calls/emails has increased largely due to
information requested for tenant protections, including the new Tenant Protection Ordinance and Housing
Enforcement unit. Furthermore, as additional

CD-10 F001 Allied Homeless Services Homelessness continues to be a persistent and complex issue nationwide, particularly in major
metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles. In Burbank,
the number of individuals experiencing homelessness
has remained relatively stable in recent years.
However, the community has seen a recent uptick

happening at the County of Los Angeles level and
with the local continuum of care. In preparation,
Council has requested an increase in homeless
outreach services. These funds will be used to
increase the current outreach with Allied Universal
from three contractors to five. The total cost will be

Modernize ballfield lighting with energy-efficient Light Emitting Diode (LED) systems at Robert E. Gross Park. Replacing the current metal halide lighting with an energy-efficient LED system will provide utility and maintenance cost savings, improve visibility on the field, create a safer play environment for users, and reduce light spillover into surrounding residential areas. The estimated reduction in energy costs is 40 percent compared to typical 1500W metal halide systems, further lowering the City's carbon footprint. The Parks and Recreation Board and the Burbank Athletic Federation Board have identified the modernization of ballfield lighting in parks as a priority. This project includes infrastructure work supported by and in coordination with Public Works and will involve the design and installation of a new underground conduit. The Boards provided support for this project at the November 14, 2024, meeting.

Project Description
The Rancho Providencia Neighborhood Protection Plan (NPP) is a series of street improvements adopted by the City Council in 1998 to reduce cut-through traffic in the residential neighborhood bounded by Buena Vista Street, Olive Avenue, Victory Boulevard, Main Street, and Alameda Avenue. On June 22, 2021, Council directed staff to commence an update to the Rancho Providencia Neighborhood Protection Plan (NPP) in response to the potential for increased cut-through traffic in the residential neighborhood. Study traffic conditions to update the Rancho Providencia NPP and install traffic mitigation measures where necessary to address cut-through traffic and vehicle speeding. The study recommended speed hump installation in 15 locations and a possible upgrade of temporary closure at Orchard Drive and Olive Avenue with a permanent curb and gutter.
Project Status
Neighborhood Protection Plan Update adopted by Council on December 5, 2023. Funding has been allocated to allow residents to petition for speed humps on streets that were qualified for them in the Plan. Should the City Council approve construction of a permanent Orchard street closure, design will commence in Fall 2025 and the construction will be complete by Spring 2027.

Project Description
This project will provide the Burbank Animal Shelter the installation of a new nonslip coating system to the existing flooring in the two kennel buildings including the main public walkways. The Shelter was built in 1990 and since has not had repairs or improvements made to the floors. The current concrete flooring has numerous cracks and erosion allowing water to accumulate which causes pathogens to thrive. Repairing and sealing the floor in the two kennel buildings (dog kennels and public walkways) with a nonslip coating system will provide a smooth surface to allow for proper cleaning and disinfecting, reducing the number of pathogens in the environment, and promoting a healthy kennel population. In addition to the health benefits, a new floor will modernize the kennels, leading to the attraction of more patrons which in turn leads to increased adoptions. A new, nonslip floor will also provide a safer environment for staff, volunteers, and the public.
Project Status
Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and the consultant are discussing options to repair and refinish the existing concrete flooring. Consultant to provide specs for bidding documents and estimate the costs for the new project plan. Construction to be completed in FY 2025-26.

The plans and specifications are complete and permit approval is expected in Spring 2025. The Project could be completed in two phases. The Safe Parking and the building improvements (Phase 1), along with project entitlements, will be completed in FY 2025-26. The interior tenant improvements and the Tiny Homes will follow when funding is provided, potentially in FY 2026-27. Entitlements and the environmental documents need to be completed to add the new homes, and a final cost estimate needs to be prepared to ensure future funding requests are adequate to complete the work.
Construction for Phase I is slated to start in Fall 2025 and be completed in Summer 2026 at an approximate cost of $4.5 million. Phase 2 has an approximate cost estimate of $12 million. Operating and maintenance costs for the Safe Parking are yet to be determined. It is estimated that the entire project, once completed, will require $1 million/year to be incurred by the service provider. These funds could possibly come from Measure A and/or Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA).

City of Burbank Financial Policies
1. We will maintain a designated General Fund working capital reserve equivalent to 15 percent of the General Fund's operating budget, a designated emergency reserve equivalent to 5 percent of the General Fund's operating budget, and a budget stabilization reserve equivalent to up to 5 percent of the General Fund’s operating budget.
2. We will maintain a balanced operating budget for all governmental funds with recurring revenues equal to or greater than recurring expenditures. Appropriations of available fund balance will only be permitted for "one- time" non-recurring expenditures.
3. We will assume that normal revenue inflation and/or growth will go to pay normal inflation expenditures. In no event will normal expenditure increases be approved which exceed normal revenue inflation and/or growth. Any new or expanded programs will be required to identify new funding sources and/or offsetting reductions in expenditures in other programs.
4. We will require that all Enterprise Funds have revenues (customer charges, interest income, and all other income) sufficient to meet all cash operating expenses, depreciation expense, and prescribed cash reserve policies per financial policies as recommended for each enterprise activity. Additionally, each Enterprise Fund will maintain debt service coverage requirements set forth in any related bond covenants.
5. We will require that each Internal Service Fund which includes vehicles, equipment, and building maintenance have revenues, (City user charges, interest income, and all other income) sufficient to meet all cash operating expenses and depreciation expenses. The related revenues should also be sufficient to maintain cash reserves, which provide sufficient cash to replace vehicles and equipment in accordance with replacement policies.
6. We will maintain appropriate reserves in the Risk Management Self-Insurance Fund and the Workers' Compensation Self–Insurance Fund to meet statutory requirements and actuarially projected needs.
7. We will maintain a general operating reserve, which will support operations for each Enterprise Fund during times of financial emergencies. The amount of the general operating reserves will be determined based on a risk assessment of each Enterprise Fund.
8. We will maintain other Enterprise Fund reserves such as debt reduction and capital funding reserves, fleet replacement reserves, and general plant reserves (in addition to the general operating reserve and other reserves) as necessary and prudent for the operation of the specific Enterprise Fund. Such reserves will be reviewed as necessary during the annual budget process, or at least every two years.
9. We will maintain a long-range fiscal perspective using an annual operating budget, a five-year capital improvement plan, and a five-year financial forecast.
10. We will use long-term financing methods or cash accumulated in excess of policy requirements for major capital improvements and acquisitions. These improvements will be planned via the annual capital improvement plan process.
11. We will issue bonds or incur other terms of indebtedness only for appropriate purposes and only if the debt service does not affect the City’s ability to meet future operating, capital, and reserve requirements. (Refer to Debt Management Policy located on page 19)
12. We will require each budget appropriation request to include a fiscal impact analysis.
13. We will comply with all the requirements of “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” 17 14. Subject to these Financial Policies:
A. To recruit and retain a well-qualified workforce to provide exceptional services, we will compensate employees at a level commensurate with the average of Burbank’s relevant labor market.
B. The City and employees will evenly share the Normal Cost of employee pensions.
C. To effectively manage workload demand and personnel costs, we will staff services and programs based on the operational needs of the City.
15. We will require responsible funding of City provided post -employment benefits. The objective being to maintain all benefits fully funded, understanding that due to the use of actuarial assumptions, actual results will vary leading to years of either over or under-funded status. In all years, the City will include the greater of the actual actuarially calculated annual post-employment benefit-cost or the actuarially calculated annual normal cost of the post-employment benefit as a recurring cost in the City’s annual budget. In other words, the City will pay as we go annually the cost of retirement benefits for current or past employment service.
Further, the funding status of po st-employment benefits will be reported to the City Council and the public as an integral part of each year’s public budget presentation.
16. The City’s objective is to maintain citywide infrastructure. To help ensure a minimum, reliable funding source for General Fund infrastructure improvements, maintenance, and repairs, the City will dedicate no less than 50 percent of the revenues generated through the Burbank Infrastructure and Community Services Protection Measure (Measure P, §BMC 2 -4-2101, et. seq.) toward this purpose. This dedicated revenue does not supplant the previously existing General Fund commitment but is in addition to the baseline General Fund annual commitment of $4.7 million. The baseline General Fund annual commitment is based on the average of the previous three year’s recurring General Fund infrastructure maintenance and repair funding prior to the voter approval of the Measure P (FY 2015-16, FY 2016-17, FY 2017-18).
17. To ensure employee pension benefits are responsibly funded, the City will require that any year-end General Fund balance, in excess of 6 percent of the General Fund’s budgeted recurring appropriations, be used to fund employee pension liabilities (either through a 115 trust or through direct payment to the benefit administrator i.e., CalPERS). This annual funding commitment will be required if employee pension benefits are less than 90 percent funded.

Debt Management Policy
I. INTRODUCTION
This Debt Management Policy (“Debt Policy”) provides guidelines for debt issuance, management and post-issuance for the City of Burbank (the “City”).
II. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Debt Policy is to establish guidelines and parameters for the effective governance, management and administration of debt and other financing obligations issued by the City and its related entities. This Debt Policy is intended to direct decision making, assist with structure of debt issuance, identify policy goals, and demonstrate a commitment to long- term planning. Adherence to a debt policy helps to ensure the City’s debt is issued and managed effectively to maintain a sound financial position and credit worthiness. When used in this Debt Policy, “debt” refers to all indebtedness and financing obligations of the City and its related entities. The debt policy is subject to and limited by applicable provisions of state and federal law and prudent debt management principles.
III. OBJECTIVES
This Debt Policy is intended to comply with the requirements of Senate Bill 1029 (SB 1029) codified as part of California Government Code Section 8855, effective on January 1, 2017, and shall govern all debt undertaken by the City. This Debt Policy follows the best practices provided by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
The primary objectives of the City’s debt and financing related activities are to:
A. Maintain the City’s sound financial position;
B. Protect the City’s credit worthiness;
C. Ensure the City has the flexibility to respond to possible changes in future service obligations, revenues, and operating expenses;
D. Ensure that all debt is structured in order to protect both current and future stakeholders of the City;
E. Ensure the City’s debt is consistent with the City’s planning goals and objectives and capital improvement or budget as applicable; and
F. Ensure the City is in compliance with all relevant State and Federal securities laws and other applicable laws and regulations.
IV. ACCEPTABLE USES OF DEBT PROCEEDS
The City will consider the use of debt financing primarily for assets and capital projects only if the term of debt shall not exceed the asset(s) or project’s useful life or will otherwise comply with federal tax law requirements. An exception to this long-term driven focus is the potential issuance of short-term instruments, such as Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRAN’s), 22 Burbank Financial Services
Debt Management Policy
which may not be used for reasonable cash management purposes, as described below. Bonded debt shall not be issued to finance normal operating expenses. General Fund debt will not be issued to support ongoing operational costs unless such debt issuance achieves net operating cost savings, and such savings are verified by independent analysis.
A. Long-Term Debt
i. Long- term debt may be issued to finance the construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of capital improvements and facilities, equipment, and land to be owned and/or operated by the City. Long-term debt financings are appropriate when any of the following conditions exist:
1. When the project to be financed is necessary to provide basic municipal services, or other projects for the benefit of the City’s stakeholders;
2. When the project to be financed will provide benefit to the City’s stakeholders over a duration of more than one year;
3. When the total debt financing would not impose an unreasonable burden on the City and its stakeholders, as applicable; or
4. When the debt is used to refinance outstanding debt to produce savings or benefit from debt restructuring.
ii. The City may use long-term debt financings subject to each of the following conditions:
1. The project to be financed has been or will be considered and approved by the City Council;
2. The average life of the debt (or portion of the debt allocated to the project) will not exceed 120% of the average economic life of the project to be financed;
3. The City estimates that sufficient revenues will be available to service the debt through its maturity; and
4. The City determined that the issuance of the debt will comply with the applicable requirements of State and Federal law.
B. Short-Term Debt
i. Short term debt may be issued to provide financing for the City’s operational cash flows to maintain a steady balance in the event of temporary shortfalls due to timing of receipt of revenues and the lack of cash on hand to cover temporary deficits.
Short-term debt may also be used to finance the City’s short-lived capital projects, such as undertaking lease-purchase financing for equipment.
C. Financing on Behalf of Other Entities
i. In order to further the public purposes of the City, debt may be issued on behalf of other governmental agencies. Prior to issuance, the City shall confirm the financial 23 Burbank Financial Services
Debt Management Policy
feasibility of the project being financed, the financial solvency of the borrower, and the compliance with this Debt Policy.
V. STANDARDS FOR USE OF DEBT FINANCING
The City recognizes that there are numerous types of financing structures and funding sources available, each with specific benefits, costs, and risks. The City will consider debt issuance only in those cases where public policy, equity and economic efficiency favor debt financing over cash funding. Prior to the issuance of debt or other financing obligations, the City will carefully consider the overall long-term affordability of the proposed debt issuance by conducting an objective analysis of the City’s ability to support additional debt service payments. The City will consider its long-term revenue and expenditure trends, the impact on operational flexibility and overall debt burden on the stakeholders. The evaluation process shall include a review of generally accepted measures of affordability and will strive to achieve and/or maintain debt levels consistent with its current operating and capital needs.
VI. TYPES OF DEBT
To maximize the financial obligations available to benefit the public, it is the City’s policy to allow the consideration of issuing all generally accepted types of debt with careful review and analysis to determine whether it meets the City’s long-term objectives. The review shall include an analysis of all available and projected funding sources and how proposed debt structure would fit within the overall debt portfolio of the City. The generally acceptable types of debt the City may consider include the following:
A. General Obligation (GO) Bonds:
i. GO bonds are suitable for use in the construction or acquisition of improvements to real property that benefit the public at large. The California Government Code, Division 4, Chapter 4, Article 1 commencing with section 43600 authorizes cities to finance certain municipal improvements through GO bonds when a city determines the public interest and necessity demands the acquisition, construction or completion of such municipal improvements, including property or structures necessary or convenient to carry out the objects, purposes, and powers of a city.
1. Examples of projects include but are not limited to libraries, parks, public services, and public safety facilities. All GO bonds must be authorized by the requisite number of voters. California State Constitution, Article 16- Public Finance, Section 18, requires that the issuance of GO Bond must be approved by a two-thirds majority of those voting on that Bond proposition.
B. Revenue Bonds:
i. Revenue bonds are limited-liability obligations tied to a specific enterprise or special fund revenue stream where the projects financed clearly benefit or relate to the enterprise or are otherwise permissible uses of the special revenue. Generally, 24 Burbank Financial Services
Debt Management Policy
no voter approval is required to issue this type of obligation but in some cases, the City must comply with proposition 218 regarding rate adjustments.
1. An example of projects that would be financed by a Revenue Bond would be improvements to a water system, which would be paid back with money raised from rates and charges to water users.
C. Certificates of Participation (COPs)/Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Lease Revenue Bonds:
i. These are lease obligations secured by an installment sale or lease-back arrangement between the City and another public entity. The City may obtain financing payable from the General Fund through the issuance of debt by a public benefit corporation or joint exercise of powers agency with such debt payable from amounts paid by the City under a lease, installment sale agreement, or contract of indebtedness. Lease-back debt does not constitute indebtedness under the state or City’s constitutional debt limit and does not require voter approval.
D. Loans:
i. The City is authorized to enter into loans, installment payment obligations, or other similar funding structures secured by a prudent source or sources of repayment.
E. Special Assessment/Special Tax Debt:
i. The City will consider requests from developers for the use of debt financing secured by property-based assessments or special taxes to provide for necessary infrastructure for new development under guidelines adopted by City Council, which may include minimum value-to-lien ratios and maximum tax burdens. To protect bondholders as well as the City’s credit rating, the City will also comply with all State guidelines regarding the issuance of special tax or special assessment debt.
1. Examples of this type of debt are Assessment Districts (ADs) and Community Facilities Districts (CFDs).
F. Conduit Financing:
i. Conduit financing involves the issuance of securities by a government agency to finance a third party’s project such as a non-profit organization or other private entity. Conduit financings are typically not secured by the City’s credit. The City may sponsor conduit financings for those activities that have a general public purpose and are consistent with the City’s overall service and strategic objectives.
While conduit financings do not constitute a general obligation of the City, the same level of due diligence prior to bond issuance is required. 25 Burbank Financial Services
Debt Management Policy
1. Examples include industrial development bonds and financings for affordable rental housing and qualified 501(c)(3) organizations.
G. Short-Term Debt:
i. Short-term borrowing, such as commercial paper, TRAN’s, and lines of credit, will be considered as an interim source of funding in anticipation of long-term borrowing and may be issued to generate funding for cash flow needs. The final maturity of the debt issued to finance the project shall be consistent with the useful life of the project.
ii. Short-term debt may also be used to finance short-lived capital projects such as lease purchase financing for equipment.
H. Refunding Bonds:
i. The City may refinance debt pursuant to the amortization that is provided under California law, including but not limited to Articles 10 and 11 of Chapter 3 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code, as market opportunities arise. Refunding may be undertaken in order to:
1. Take advantage of lower interest rates and achieve debt service cost savings;
2. Eliminate restrictive or burdensome bond covenants; or
3. Restructure debt to relieve debt service spikes, reduce volatility in interest rates or free up reserve funds,
ii. Generally, the City shall strive to achieve a minimum of 3.00% net present value savings as recommended by GFOA. The net present value assessment shall factor in all costs, including issuance, escrow, and foregone interest earnings of any contributed funds on hand. Refunding’s which produce a net present value savings of less than 3% will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Upon the advice of the Financial Services Director or Chief Financial Officer, and with the assistance of a municipal advisor and bond counsel, the City will consider undertaking refunding’s for other than economic purposes based upon a finding that such a restructuring is in the City’s overall best financial interest.
I. Pension Obligation bonds (POBs):
i. The City may utilize POBs, which are financing instruments used to pay some or all of an entity’s unfunded pension liability. The bonds must be issued on a taxable basis and the proceeds are transferred to the issuer’s pension system as a prepayment of all or part of the issuer’s unfunded pension liability. The proceeds are then invested by the pension system. These bonds function as arbitrage instruments and come with interest rate return risks.
26 Burbank Financial Services
Debt Management Policy
J. Tax Increment Financing
i. Tax Increment Financing provides options to finance infrastructure and economic development projects using as a repayment stream property tax revenues generated above an established “base year” value (tax increment). The City may consider tax increment financing to the extent permitted under State law. When considering tax increment financing mechanisms permitted by law, the City should analyze the practical viability of the proposed financing and take into account the potential impact of the proposed structure on existing debt limitations.
1. Examples include Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) or Community Revitalization and Investment Authorities (CRIAs) It is possible the City finds that other forms of debt would be beneficial to further its public purposes and may approve such debt without amendment of this Debt Policy. However, the other form or forms of debt must comply with this Debt Policy.
Debt shall be issued as fixed rate debt unless the City determines a variable rate issue would be beneficial to the City based on the circumstances.
VII. STRUCTURE AND TERM OF DEBT ISSUES
The City will establish all terms and conditions related to the issuance of debt, and will control, manage and invest all debt proceeds. The following restrictions will be followed unless otherwise authorized by the City.
A. Term of Debt
i. Debt will be structured for the shortest practicable period, consistent with a fair allocation of costs to current and future users. Typically, the term of long-term debt borrowing is 5-30 years. Generally, the average life of the debt should be equal to or less than 120% of the average economic life of the projects or equipment being financed, unless there are specific circumstances that would mitigate the extension of time to repay the debt and it would not result in violation of any covenants to maintain the tax-exempt status of such debt, if applicable.
Tax Code and the Regulations prohibit the issuance of debt by public agencies that may “overburden” the tax exempt bond market. Bonds with a term that exceeds 120% of the average reasonably expected economic life of the financed capital projects may be evidence of the fact that the bonds may remain outstanding longer than necessary.
B. Debt Repayment Structure
27 Burbank Financial Services
Debt Management Policy
i. In structuring a debt issue, the City will manage the amortization of debt and, to the extent possible, match its cash flow to the anticipated debt service payments. The City shall design the repayment of debt to take best advantage of market conditions, provide flexibility, and as practical, to recapture or achieve its best credit rating. The City will evaluate alternative debt structures to ensure the most cost-efficient financing under prevailing market conditions.
ii. The City will generally seek to structure debt with aggregate level annual debt service payments over the life of the debt. Structures with non-level debt service will be considered when one or more of the following exist:
1. Natural Disasters or extraordinary unanticipated external factors prohibit debt payments in the early years of the issuance.
2. Such structuring is beneficial to the City’s aggregate overall debt payment schedule.
3. Such structuring will allow debt service to more closely match project revenues.
C. Bond Maturity Options
i. For each bond issuance, the City will select serial bonds or term bonds, or both. On occasions where circumstances warrant, capital appreciation bonds (CABs) may be used. The decision to use serial bonds, term bonds or CABs or any combination is typically based on market conditions and investor demand.
D. Credit Enhancement
i. Credit enhancement may be used to improve or establish a credit rating on a City debt obligation. Types of credit enhancement include letters of credit, bond insurance and surety policies. The City’s municipal advisor may recommend the use of credit enhancement if it reduces the overall cost of the proposed financing or if the use of such credit enhancement furthers the City’s overall financing objectives.
E. Debt Service Reserve Fund/Surety Policy
i. Debt Service Reserve funds are held by the bond trustee to make principal and interest payments to bondholders in the event that pledged revenues are insufficient to do so. The City will fund debt service reserve funds when it is in the City’s overall best financial interest.
ii. Under federal tax law, the size of the reserve fund is generally limited to the lesser of 10% of par amount of bonds, 125% of average annual debt service, and 100% of maximum annual debt service.
iii. In lieu of holding cash reserve. The City may substitute a surety bond or other credit instrument in its place. The decision to cash fund a reserve fund rather than to 28 Burbank Financial Services
Debt Management Policy
use a credit facility is dependent on the cost of the credit instrument and the investment opportunities.
iv. The City may decide not to utilize a reserve fund or to fund a partial reserve fund if the Financial Services Director or Chief Financial Officer, assisted by the City’s municipal advisor, determines there would be no adverse impact on the City’s credit rating or interest rates.
F. Call Provisions
i. A call option or optional redemption provision gives the City the right to prepay or retire a debt prior to its stated maturity date. The option may permit the City to achieve interest savings in the future through the refunding of the debt. Because the cost of call options can vary depending on market conditions, an evaluation will be conducted in connection with each issuance.
ii. In general, the City’s debt issues will include a call feature that is no later than ten (10) years from the date of delivery of the debt. The City will generally avoid the sale of non-callable debt. The use of a call option will be evaluated and recommended on a case-by-case basis.
VIII. STRUCTURE OF SECURITIES
The City will determine on a case-by-case basis whether to sell its bonds through a public sale or private placement.
A. Public Sale- there are two methods of public sale of debt, competitive and negotiated.
Both methods of sale shall be considered for all issuance of debt to the extent allowed by law, as each method has the potential to achieve the lowest financing cost given the right conditions.
i. Competitive Sale- when a competitive bidding process is deemed the most advantageous method of sale for the City, award shall be based upon, among other factors, the lowest offered True Interest Cost (“TIC”), as long as the bid adheres to requirements set forth in the official notice of sale.
ii. Negotiated Sale- When a negotiated sale process is deemed the most advantageous method of sale for the City, selection shall be based upon, among other factors, qualifications, experience, pricing ability, and fees.
B. Private Placement- such method of sale shall be considered if it is deemed to result in cost savings or provide other advantages relative to other methods of debt issuance, or if it is determined that access to the public market is unavailable and timing considerations require that a financing be completed.

Debt Management Policy
IX. RELATIONSHIP TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND
OPERATING BUDGET
The City intends to issue debt for the purposes stated in this Debt Policy and the decision to incur new indebtedness should be integrated with the City Council-adopted annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program Budget. Prior to the issuance of revenue bonds, a reliable revenue source shall be identified to secure repayment of the debt and the annual debt service payments shall be included in the Operating Budget.
The City shall integrate its debt issuances with the goals of its Capital Improvement Program by timing the issuance of debt to ensure that projects are available when needed in furtherance of the City’s public purposes.
X. POLICY GOALS RELATED TO PLANNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES A. The City is committed to financial planning, maintaining appropriate reserves levels and employing prudent practices in governance, management and budget administration. The City intends to issue debt for the purposes stated in this Debt Policy and to implement policy decisions incorporated in the City’s annual Operating Budget;
B. It is a policy goal of the City to protect stakeholders by utilizing conservative financing methods and techniques to obtain the highest practical credit ratings, if applicable, and the lowest practical borrowing costs;
C. It is a policy of the City to reduce unfunded liabilities for employee pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB);
D. The City will comply with applicable State and Federal Law as it pertains to the maximum term of debt and the procedures for levying and imposing any related taxes, assessments, rates and charges; and
E. When refinancing debt, it shall be the policy goal of the City to achieve, whenever possible and subject to any overriding non-financial policy, minimum aggregate net present value savings of at least [[3%]] of the refunded principal amount.
XI. INTERNAL CONTROL PROCEDURES
When issuing debt, in addition to complying with the terms of this Debt Policy, the City shall comply with any other applicable policies regarding initial bond disclosure, continuing disclosure, post-issuance compliance, and investment of bond proceeds. The City will use GFOA best practices to periodically review this Debt Policy and incorporate changes highlighted by GFOA.
A. The City will periodically review the requirements of and will remain with the following:
30 Burbank Financial Services
Debt Management Policy
i. Federal securities law, including any continuing disclosure undertakings under SEC Rule 15c2-12.
ii. Any federal tax compliance requirements including without limitation arbitrage and rebate compliance, related to any prior bond issues;
iii. The City’s investment policies as they relate to the investment of bond proceeds; and
iv. Government Code section 8855(k) and the annual reporting requirements therein.
The City shall be vigilant in using bond proceeds in accordance with the stated purpose at the time that such debt was issued. The City Manager, Financial Services Director or Chief Financial Officer will monitor the expenditure of bond proceeds to ensure they are used only for the purpose and authority for which the bonds were issued.
XII. AMENDMENT AND WAIVERS OF DEBT POLICY
This Debt Policy shall undergo periodic review and updates as necessary. The review process will incorporate changes in industry best practices, drawing from professional sources such as the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC), Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), and California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO).
Any amendments to this Debt Policy are subject to specific City Council approval.
While adherence to this Debt Policy is required in all applicable circumstances, on rare occasions there might be circumstances when strict adherence to a provision of this Debt Policy is not possible or not in the best interest of the City. If the City staff has determined that a waiver of one or more provisions of this Debt Policy should be considered by the City Council, it will prepare an analysis for the City Council describing the rationale for the waiver and the impact of the waiver on the proposed debt issuance and on stakeholders, if applicable. Upon a majority vote of the City Council, one or more provisions of this Debt Policy may be waived for a debt financing.
The failure of a debt financing to comply with one or more provisions of this Debt Policy shall no way affect the validity of any debt issued by the City in accordance with applicable laws.
XIII. SB 1029 COMPLIANCE
SB 1029, enacted on September 12, 2016 and effective on January 1, 2017, requires issuers to adopt policies addressing each of the five items below:

4 The General Fund Revenue section provides background in formation describing trends, economic factors, and their impact on City revenues. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 revenue budget was prepared using assumptions about projected revenue growth based on property values, expected economic growth, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and proposed fee increases. Despite elevated interest rates and continued inflation, households and businesses maintained healthy spending levels in recent quarters. However, the types of spending has shifted since the end of the Pandemic, with consumers preferring travel and experienced over the purchase of tangible items like automobiles and home furnishings. As a result, economic growth in FY 2024-25 has not been as robust as the years following the Pandemic.
The impact of tariffs, recent Federal policy changes, and lo cal wildfire recovery remains uncertain. Burbank’s diverse revenue sources will help to sustain the City economy, with moderate revenue growth expected in FY 2025-26. General Fund revenues are expected to increase by 5.7% ov er the revised revenue estimates for FY 2024-25. Sales tax and property tax continue to be the General Fund’s largest revenue sources, representing 56% of recurring revenue.
GENERAL FUND
Sales Taxes are imposed on all applicable retail and commercial businesses selling goods in the City and represent the City’s second-largest revenue source. This tax is based on the sales price of any taxable transaction relating to taxable personal property. In accordance with the City’s Br adley-Burns Uniform Sales Tax ordinance, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) allocates the City’s sales tax, 1% of taxable sales occurring in Burbank.
On November 6, 2018, the City of Burbank voters approved Measure P, also known as the Burbank Infrastructure and Community Services Protection Measure. Measure P is a general-purpose ¾ cent local Transaction and Use Tax (TUT)
in which 50% of the revenue is dedicated to infrastructu re repairs, maintenance, and improvements and 50% will go towards General Fund operations.
Consumer confidence has waned in response to recent F ederal policy shifts and the resulting economic instability.
Industries like automobiles and electroni cs will be impacted by tariffs as well as continued elevated interest rates.
Household consumption has shifted away from goods to non-taxable items like services, travel, and entertainment.
This trend is expected to continue into FY 2025-26 with a softening in revenue from taxable sales. Overall, sales tax revenues are anticipated to decline by 1.6% for FY 2025-26.
Property Taxes are the General Fund’s top revenue source. This tax is imposed on real property (land and permanently attached improvements, such as buildings) and tangible personal property (such as airplanes) located within the City.
A total tax of one percent (1%) is levied on the Assessed Value (AV) of property as det ermined by the LA County Assessor. The City of Burbank receives approximately 18.5% of the 1% levy on the AV.
Provisions contained in Proposition 13 have, over the years, created a buffer between current market value and AV as determined by the Los Angeles (LA) County Assessor. Under Proposition 13, AV on parcels with continuing ownership may change by inflation as defined by the CPI, up to a maximum increase of 2%. The State has released CPI growth, and for FY 2025-26, AV on properties will increase by 2%. Other sources of AV growth are changes in ownership, new construction, recapture of prior Proposit ion 8 impairments of value, changes to values for unsecured items such as aircraft, and post-Redevelopment residual distribution. Staff is projecting property tax revenues to increase by 5% for FY 2025-26, reflecting the continued growth with larger developments throughout the City. However, while the housing market is expected to improve further in 2025, there are some hurdles that could present challenges for the market in the upcoming year, namely inflation, pol icy changes from the Federal governm ent, and the impact of property tax deferrals and supplemental refunds to homeowners affected by the Eaton and Palisades Fires.
Utility Users Taxes (UUT) are applied to telephone (hardwired and cellular), natural gas, and electric usage at the rate of seven percent (7%). Unlike other cities, Burbank does not apply this tax to water, cable television, sewer, and refuse collection usage/sales. The FY 2025-26 rates for electricity will be adopted at the public hearing on May 20, 2025. UUT revenue is anticipated to increase by 5.9% for FY 2025-26. The growth is attributable to an 9.9% electric rate increase and higher natural gas prices, which are offset by the continual decline in wireless revenue with the reclassification of data to non-taxable information services and the reduced electric usage due to efficiencies.
Intra-City Service Charges, or indirect charges, are derived from charges for General Fund staff and services that are utilized to support non-General Fund activities such as payroll, human resources, and legal services. Charges are determined by an annual cost allocation plan which allocates costs of General Fund centra l support functions to the respective departments and funds. Based on the results of the most recent cost allocation plan, revenues are expected to increase by 12.3% for FY 2025-26.
REVENUE SOURCES AND DESCRIPTIONS
5 Service Charges are fees charged to users of city-provided services and are designed to at least partially cover the costs incurred when providing these services. The construction of large developments throughout the City, and the elevated participation in recreation activities contributed to the increased service charge revenues for FY 2024-25. For FY 2025-26, Parks and Recreation will see an increase in revenues from the expansion of the afterschool program and a growing demand for aquatics classes. Fire inspections and new processing fees for real estate services are also expected to boost revenues. While it is also anticipated that plan check fees will increase from sizable developments planned within the City, the tariffs in troduced by the Federal government could slow down activity to residential renovation projects over pricing concerns on construction materials. Considering the above factors, staff is forecasting a modest increase in service charge revenues of 2.4% for FY 2025-26.
In-Lieu of Tax is a charge of 7% on retail electric sales collected from the Burbank Water and Power (BWP) Department instead of paying other taxes and fees that a private utility would pay to the City. This charge is deposited into two funds: the General Fund (Fund 001) receives 5.5% and the Street Lighting Fund (Fund 129) receives the remaining
1.5%. On June 5, 2018, Measure T was approved by Burbank residents, allowing the City to continue transferring revenue from BWP to the General Fund to preserve funding fo r essential City services. In-Lieu of tax is anticipated to increase by 8.1% for FY 2025-26.
Interest/Use of Money includes interest, rent, and lease income received by the City. The City Treasurer invests static funds in various investment instruments and the City’s portfolio receives interest income. The main goal is to protect each investment while achieving the highest rate of return . The City Treasurer’s goal is to achieve an average annual investment portfolio yield of 2.5% during FY 2025-26.
This will allow flexibility with short-term maturity dates, in order to minimize market value fluctuations as rates normalize.
Parking Fines are issued by the Police Department and represen t a small portion of General Fund revenues. Fines are dependent on the amount of the fine, the number of cita tions issued, and the amount retained by the county and state agencies. For FY 2025-26, revenue in this category is anticipated to increase by 10.1% from the revised FY 2024- 25 budget with expanded citywide parking enforcement, collections, and administration now managed by a third-party.
Traffic Fines are collected from moving violations issued by the Police Department. They are issued for both City and California Highway Patrol traffic violations, with the majority of the revenue going to the State of California.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), otherwise known as a “Bed Tax,” is a 10% tax applied to the cost of occupying a room in a hotel, inn, motel, tourist home, or other lodging facilities within the City’s jurisdiction. This tax collects revenue for the use of City services by non-residents who would not likely otherwise contribute to the provision of these services.
The continued economic recovery, ec onomic development efforts, and aggressive marketing by the Tourism Based Improvement District (TBID) have all led to increasing TOT revenues. Occupancy rates for February 2025 were at
79.1% compared to the prior year’s occupancy rate of 66.5%. For FY 2025-26, TOT is anticipated to increase by 4% from the revised FY 2024-25 projection.
Building Permits are required by the City to ensure that structures meet specific standards. Permits are issued to all businesses with physical addresses within the City to ensure proper zoning and maintenance. The City requires various construction permits for activities such as the installation of electric, plumbing, and sewage facilities. A fee is levied for these permits in order to recover only the costs incurred. While there will be some activity for building permits during FY 2025-26, it will not be as robust as the prior year due to several large development permits that were issued in FY 2024-25. For FY 2025-26, permits are anticipated to increase by 2.5%.
License fees are collected for certain type s of activities within City boundaries such as business licenses and pet licenses.
Transient Parking Tax (TPT) is a 12% tax charged to customers and collected and remitted to the City by parking lot operators who charge for parking services for short periods (e .g., airport, businesses, hotels, and restaurants). With approximately 85% of the parking tax revenue derived from lots at or directly serving Hollywood Burbank Airport, the City’s TPT revenue is dependent on the tr avel demand. Passenger counts at the airport increased by 8.5% in 2024 when compared to 2023. Staff anticipates that trend to continue in FY 2025-26, with TPT revenues expected to increase by 4% compared to the revised budget of FY 2024-25.
Business Taxes are imposed for the privilege of conducting business within the City. Burbank’s business taxes are considerably lower than many other LA County cities. Fees range from a flat amount to a graduated formula based on sales, number of employees, and square footage. Revenue for this category is anticipated to increase by 3% for FY 2025-26.
REVENUE SOURCES AND DESCRIPTIONS
6 Franchise Fees are imposed on various companies using “public rights-of-way” to conduct their business operations.
Such fees include a 5% Franchise Fee on cable television gross receipts, a 1% fee on natural gas gross receipts, a 2% fee on receipts arising from electricit y transmission by private companies, and a 2% fee on receipts arising from the use of pipelines within the City. Franchise fees are expected to increase by 1% in FY 2025-26.
Intergovernmental Revenues are generally grants received from federal, state, and local governments to fund various City programs such as public safety, literacy, senior serv ices, and nutrition. Other items within this category include reimbursements for state-mandated progra ms and reimbursements for Fire Depart ment strike teams sent to battle wildfires throughout the state. For FY 2025-26, intergovernm ental revenues will increase by 31.4%, primarily due to increased grant funding for the nutrition program.

REVENUE SOURCES AND DESCRIPTIONS
8 ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprise. The City of Burbank currently has four Enterprise Funds: Electric, Water (operated by BWP), Water Reclamation and Sewer (operated by Public Works), and Refuse Collection and Disposal (operated by Public Works).
Each fund must ensure that its revenues cover operating expenses (includi ng depreciation) of providing goods and services to users/customers. Revenues may be comprised of service charges, fees, sales, interest, and other income.
Utility rates are approved very two years. A public hearin g, scheduled for May 20, 2025, will include the adoption of utility rates for both FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27.
For FY 2025-26, the Electric rate will increase by 9.9% due to state unfunded mandates, t he higher cost associated with procuring renewables, increased transmission, capital, and operating costs, and to replenish cash reserves from multiple years of under collection. Burbank electric rates remain competitive, both locally and regionally.
The Water Fund's budget includes a 14% rate increase for FY 2025-26 as funds will be used to recover the elevated costs of purchased water, operations and maintenance, conservation, and capital improvement programs.
The Water Reclamation and Sewer Fund’s budget reflects an overall rate increase of 6% for FY 2025-26. The increase in sewer charges is due to the escalating charges from the City of Los Angeles for sewage treatment services, capital improvement projects, and labor, chemical, and electrical costs to operate the Burbank Water Reclamation Plant (BWRP).
The Refuse Collection and Disposal Fund will include a rate increase of 8% for FY 2025-26 to meet rising operational costs, particularly those associated with state mandates, and to continue providing comprehensive refuse services that include household trash disposal, organics composting, recyclable collections and processing, and bulky item pick-ups.
SUCCESSOR AGENCY ADMINISTRATION FUND
Legislation enacted by the State in June 2011, effectively ending Redevel opment Agencies (RDA) statewide on February 1, 2012, also provided local agencies the authority to appoint their city as the Successor Agency to the redevelopment agency. Burbank elected to pursue this option. The City of Burbank currently serves as the Successor Agency and is responsible for administrative functions of both post-RDA and affordable housing functions. These include ensuring continuation payments on existing bonds and contractual obligations during the wind-down phase are accurate and timely. An administrative allowance (3% of approved continuation payments) is allocated to the Successor Agency to partially cover the costs of these functions.
HOUSING AUTHORITY FUNDS
The Burbank Housing Authority was formed in 1975 to adminis ter the Section 8 Rental As sistance Program which is funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Developm ent (HUD). This Program provides rent subsidy payments directly to landlords on behalf of eligible tenants in order to increase the supply and quality of affordable housing within the City. The Section 8 Program provides an additional resource for assisting very low-income renters in Burbank.
Starting in 1977, redevelopment agencies had been required to set-aside twenty percent (20%) of their incremental property tax revenues into the Low and Moderate Housin g Fund (Fund 305) to be used solely for low and moderate housing development. The set aside ceased with the elimination of RDAs in February 2012, after which Fund 305 was shifted to the Housing Authority. The Housing Authority is responsible for administering existing contracts and ensuring all applicable regulations are adhered to during the wind-down phase.
PARKING AUTHORITY FUND
The Parking Authority has one fund which is administered by the Community Development Department (CDD). The main source of revenue include parking permits, lease fees , the Downtown Public Facility Maintenance District levy, and metered parking along Downtown San Fernando Boulevar d. In addition, AMC Theaters provide funds to offset downtown parking structure maintenance costs.

OBJECTIVES
CHANGES FROM PRIOR YEAR
- The Workers' Compensation Division has the responsibility to safeguard the City's financial exposure. - The Workers' Compensation Division shall investigate, determine, pursue the information needed, and take the appropriate oactions needed to mitigate and move the claim toward a conclusion. - Provide benefits to injured employees as expeditiously as possible to mitigate the negative impact of injury or disability. - Complete Workers' Compensation audits to effectuate efficiencies and cost-saving measures. - Maintain the Department's commitment to customer service.
This fund provides for the City's Workers' Compensation Program in an effort to help reduce costs and better serve City employees. Each department contributes to this Fund through the applicable expenditure accounts. The Management Services Department, Risk Management and Safety Division administers this Fund.
The City currently covers all claims up to the first two million dollars, and the Fund also covers the costs of purchasing excess Workers' Compensation. Other costs that fall under this Fund include Riskconnect, formerly known as Ventiv Tech, which hosts IVOS, the City's claim management software; professional services such as training and medical services for first aid administered immediately after a minor injury; and the State Self Insurance Fee, which is the amount the City pays to the State in order to be self-insured.
The largest portion of the Fund covers direct costs for Workers' Compensation claims incurred by City employees, including the following expenses:
-Medical - This portion of the Fund covers payments for doctors, physicians, hospitals, diagnostic testing centers, surgeries, post-operative care, physical therapy, acupuncture, pharmaceuticals, and chiropractic care for all claims and future medical claims with medical care provisions for life. The Fund also covers the cost of bill review charges, the City's utilization review management program, as well as nurse care management when necessary. -Salary Continuation - This portion of the Fund covers salary continuation for authorized leave due to a work injury. Safety members are entitled to 4850 benefits for up to one year of full salary. Miscellaneous employees receive up to six months of their full salary. Once that length of time is exceeded and the employee is still authorized to be off work, the benefits are then paid as Temporary Total Disability benefits, which is 2/3 of an employee's salary with a maximum payout of $1,680.29 per week. This is an increase of $61.14 per week as of January 1, 2025. This benefit is not to exceed 104 weeks. -Permanent Disability - Permanent Disability (PD) is any lasting disability from a work injury or illness that affects an employee's ability to earn a living. This Fund covers PD benefits, advances, life pension awards, and final awards. -Legal Expenses - This portion of the Fund covers claims that are litigated and require outside counsel. The City has a legal panel of six law firms specializing in various forms of California Workers' Compensation to assist with litigation. -Photocopying Services - This covers photocopying of our files and offsite medical records as well as any deposition-related fees.
-Investigative Services - This portion of the Fund covers all investigative needs required to justify all Workers' Compensation claims by way of statements, data searches, and surveillance.Claim payments were increased by $209,000 due to the rising cost of medical treatment, ancillary services, and litigation defense. $25,000 was allocated for claim management software. The training account was increased to ensure staff remains up to date on industry standards and best practices. Additionally, a new New Administrative Analyst II (Z) position that is 50% funded by Fund 530 was created to serve as ADA coordinator. 15 Workers Compensation Insurance Fund
