VIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, § 15319, annexations of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities, because it includes the annexation of property to the City of Burbank containing existing private structures developed to the density allowed by the pre-zoning designation, and there is sufficient utility capacity to serve the Subject Properties. In addition, the proposed Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, § 15061(b)(3), the commonsense exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the annexation and concurrent detachment may have a significant effect on the environment. This item simply applies the existing Zoning Designations to the Subject Properties that are currently partially within the City of Glendale, without changing their use, and aligns them with the zoning designations of the surrounding neighborhood
F
ISCAL IMPACT
The cost of completing this annexation project is anticipated to total $50,000 (legal fees, the LAFCO application fees, community outreach, etc.) with the funding coming from the City Clerk’s Office and City Attorney’s Office. These costs are anticipated to be recovered over time in the form of increased property tax revenue.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BURBANK AMENDING THE ZONING MAP TO ESTABLISH
ZONING DESIGNATIONS OF SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL (R -1) ZONE FOR PORTIONS OF 17
PROPERTIES THAT ARE PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION
INTO THE CITY (PROJECT NO. 25 -0004181; ZONE MAP
AMENDMENT)
City Attorney’s Synopsis
This Ordinance amends the Zone Map to establish Zoning Designations of Single Family Residential ( R-1) zone for portions of 17 properties that are proposed for annexation into the C ity, and concurrent detachment from the City of Glendale. The effectiveness of this Ordinance is contingent on successful annexation and approval of the General Plan Amendment that is being presented with this Ordinance.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS:
A. On or about October 29, 2024, the City Council of the City of Burbank adopted Resolution Number 24- 29,567 titled “A Resolution of the Council of the City of Burbank: 1) Requesting the Local Agency Formation Commission for the County of Los Angeles (LAFCO) to Initiate Proceedings for Reorganization to Include Annexation to The City Of Burbank and Concurrent Detachment of the Subject Properties from the City of Glendale, and 2) Directing Staff to Process Documents as Necessary to Effectuate Same.”
B. As background, during the November 2022 election, the Burbank City Clerk’s Office became aware that residents living on the even numbered side of the 600 and 700 blocks of Roselli Street (“Roselli Street Properties”) in Burbank did not receive mail-in ballots containing the Burbank election contests for City Council, City Clerk, City Treasurer, and School Board. The City Clerk’s Office further became aware that this occurred because the precinct boundary for these addresses was changed during the 2021 redistricting, with this boundary bisecting (dividing) the Roselli Street Properties.
C. There are 17 properties that are affected by the bisecting of the City of Burbank/City of Glendale jurisdictional lines. These properties are included as Exhibit A to this Ordinance and are referred to as the Subject Properties. Due to this, the property tax paid on the Subject Properties is credited to the City of Glendale, even though the residents live in the City of Burbank, have their frontage on Burbank streets, and receive Burbank services. The place where residents pay their property taxes determines which ballots they receive. Therefore, at the moment, the residents of the Subject Properties receive City of Glendale ballots, and not City of Burbank ballots.
ATTACHMENT 1 – 1
25 D. The boundary between the City of Burbank and the City of Glendale bisects the Subject Properties, leaving approximately fifty (50) feet of each of the Subject Properties in the City of Glendale, while the remainder of the parcels of the Subject Properties are located within the City of Burbank.
E. The City of Burbank is in the process of applying to LAFCO to correct the bisecting boundary so that the entirety of the Subject Properties fall within the City of Burbank’s jurisdiction and are detached from the City of Glendale.
F. It is important that the bisecting boundary between the cities of Burbank and Glendale be corrected to ensure equity for both City of Burbank and City of Glendale residents. To do so, the City of Burbank must apply to LAFCO for LAFCO to initiate proceedings to annex the back approximately fifty (50) feet of each of the Subject Properties into the City of Burbank, as well as detach the approximately fifty (50) feet of each of the Subject Properties from the City of Glendale.
G. As part of the application to LAFCO to correct the boundaries of the Subject Properties, Burbank is required to preemptively establish the proper Zoning Designation that would apply to the portions of the Subject Properties being annexed into the City.
Therefore, the City must amend the Zone Map to properly reflect that the portions of the Subject Properties being annexed into the City will be designated as Single-Family Residential.
H. As part of the application to the LAFCO, the City must submit a “Pre-Zoning Ordinance,” which is a Zoning Ordinance that would preemptively establish Zoning Designations for the properties proposed for annexation (“Zoning Ordinance”). To be able to provide LAFCO the required Zoning Ordinance as part of the submission of the LAFCO application, the City needs to preemptively establish a Zoning Designation for the properties proposed for annexation into the City. The designations would only take effect upon LAFCO’s approval of the Reorganization and ensures that the properties proposed for annexation into the City have established zoning regulations.
I. On February 23, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on this Ordinance (Project No. 25-0004181) and at such hearing recommended that the City Council of the City of Burbank (“Council”) approve the amendments to the Zoning Map, and this Ordinance to establish the Zoning Designation of portions of the Subject Properties to Single-Family Residential (R-1).
J. On *__________, the Council at its regular meeting, held a public hearing on Project No. 25-0004181, to amend the Zoning Map to establish Zoning Designations of portions of the Subject Properties to Single-Family Residential (R-1).
K. Said hearing was properly noticed in accordance with the provisions of BMC Section 10-1-1969.
ATTACHMENT 1 – 2
26 L. The Council considered the report and recommendations of the City Planner, the action and recommendations of the Planning Commission as evidenced by its Resolution *_________, and the evidence and testimony presented at such hearing.
M. In accordance with California Government Code Section 65860, the proposed Zone Map Amendment and Ordinance have been determined to be consistent with the Land Use Element of the Burbank2035 General Plan and compatible with the specified objectives, policies, general land uses and programs , as well as Title 10, Chapter 1 (Zoning) of the BMC.
N. The Project has been evaluated under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and requires no further CEQA review. It is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to California State Regulations, 14 Cal. Code Regs Section 15319, annexations of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities, because it includes the annexation of property to the City of Burbank containing existing private structures developed to the density allowed by the pre- zoning designation, and there is sufficient utility capaci ty to serve the Subject Properties. In addition, the Project has also been determined to be exempt from the CEQA pursuant to California State Regulations, 14 Cal. Code Regs Section 15061(b)(3), common sense exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the annexation and concurrent detachment may have a significant effect on the environment. The 17 Subject Properties are single family homes and have been such for decades. This Project is merely to correct an improper boundary bisection that occurred in the past. To correct the improper boundary bisection, the City of Burbank must apply to LAFCO for LAFCO to initiate proceedings to annex the back approximately fifty (50) feet of each of the Subject Properties into the City of Burbank, as well as detach the approximately fifty (50) feet of each of the Subject Properties from the City of Glendale. The adoption of the proposed Zone Map Amendment , and this Ordinance, is exempt from CEQA and no further analysis under CEQA is required.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Project No. 25 -0004181, which includes a request to amend the Zoning Map, as referenced in BMC Section 10-1- 302(A), to establish Zoning D esignations for approximately 17 properties on the 600-700 block of Roselli Street (Project sites) to Single Family Residential (R-1) once the properties have been annexed into the City of Burbank, and detached from the City of Glendale (as shown on Exhibit A to this Ordinance), is hereby approved based upon the following findings:
FINDINGS FOR ZONING MAP AMENDMENT:
I. The proposed Zone Map Amendment is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Burbank and the provisions of Title 10, Chapter 1 (Zoning) of the Burbank Municipal Code, and are compatible with the specified objectives, policies, general land uses and programs.
ATTACHMENT 1 – 3
27 Currently, the boundary between the City of Burbank and the City of Glendale bisects the Subject Properties, leaving approximately fifty (50) feet of each of the Subject Properties in the City of Glendale, while the remainder of the parcels of the Subject Properties are located within the City of Burbank. To correct the improper boundary bisection, the City of Burbank has applied to LAFCO to initiate proceedings to annex the back approximately fifty (50) feet of each of the Subject Properties into the City of Burbank, as well as detach the approximately fifty (50) feet of each of the Subject Properties from the City of Glendale. Once annexed into the City of Burbank, the portions being annexed will need to have an established zoning designation.
The Zone Map Amendment establishes a Zoning Designation of Single Family Residential (R-1) for portions the Subject Properties that are being annexed into the City of Burbank. This designation is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, density and programs of Burbank2035. The Zone Map Amendment would ensure that the newly annexed land be zoned for single family purposes consistent with (1) the existing development pattern on site and in the surrounding neighborhood, which is zoned R -1 and (2) the Low Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation that would be established for portions the Subject Properties once annexed into the City of Burbank. The proposed Zone Map Amendment will not cause any internal inconsistencies in the General Plan and would not change any policy direction or intent of the General Plan. The Subject Properties are currently improved with single family homes. With the Zone Map Amendment these Subject Properties will continue to enjoy the benefit of single-family home uses.
2. The City Planner is instructed and authorized to establish a Z oning Designation for the Project Sites subject to this approval (i.e., 17 properties on the 600- 700 block of Roselli Street ) to Single Family Residential (R -1). The City Planner is also instructed and authorized to amend the Zoning Map of the City of Burbank, as referenced in BMC Section 10-1-302(A), to incorporate the changes set forth in this Ordinance.
3. The City Manager, with the approval of the City Attorney, of the City of Burbank, is hereby authorized to negotiate and execute any and all documents to effectuate this Zoning Map Amendment related to the annexation of the Subject Properties, that is consistent with this Ordinance.
4. If any provision of this Ordinance or its application is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions, sections, or applications of the Ordinance, which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end each phrase, section, sentence, or word is declared to be severable.

41 2
In 2022, Title 4, Chapter 2 of the BMC established the City’s framework for solid waste management, Hauler licenses and permits, Generator requirements, and waste reduction guidelines in compliance with California Senate Bill (SB) 1383. Implementation since then has revealed the opportunity to better support compliance and streamline program operations by enrolling solid waste Generators in required collection services upon prior notice.
The Ordinance implements regulations to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane (“SB 1383 Regulations”). Amendments include: 1) adding a notice and enrollment process for solid waste Generators to subscribe to garbage, recycling, and organic waste collection services within seven (7) days after occupying a property , and 2) initiating a notification and service enrollment process if a Generator fails to establish services and has not obtained a waiver pursuant to BMC § 4-2-117.
Vote at Introduction:
AYES: Anthony, Perez, Rizzotti, Mullins, and Takahashi NOES: None
ABSENT: None
The Ordinance is now presented for adoption.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff recommends that the City Council find that this amendments to BMC § 4-2-113 and BMC § 4-2-122, relating to procedures for enrollment upon prior notice in solid waste collection services is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Sections:
15060(c)(2), because the proposed amendments will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment; 15061(b)(3), because the proposed ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant negative effect on the environment; and 15308, because the proposed ordinance involves regulatory actions to assure protection of the environment. As such, the adoption of this ordinance is exempt from CEQA and no further environmental review is necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no anticipated fiscal impacts associated with this report.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 5, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kimberley Clark, City Clerk
BY: Kimberley Clark, City Clerk, and Linda Thai, Assistant City Clerk SUBJECT: Update on Estimated Cost of November 2026 General Municipal Election
RECOMMENDATION
Note and file.
BACKGROUND
The City of Burbank will hold a General Municipal Election Tuesday, November 3 , 2026, to elect candidates to the following Offices for a four (4) year term ending December 18 , 2028: three (3) Member s of the City Council, one (1) City Clerk, and one (1) City Treasurer. The City also anticipates bringing a Transient Occupancy Tax ballot measure, and a Charter amendment and ballot measure both related to City C ouncil member elections, subject to City Council approval.
DISCUSSION
For each election cycle, the City Clerk’s Office provides Council with cost estimates.
According to the Registrar -Recorder/County Clerk’s office, the estimated cost for the above offices and ballot measures is $427,000. In addition to the above referenced candidate elections, anticipated ballot measures, and charter amendment, a Recall Petition for a City Council Member has been submitted to the City Clerk’s Office and approved to gather signatures . If the petition qualifies for the ballot , the City will incur additional costs to verify petition signatures and place a recall measure on the November ballot or hold a special recall election.

OFFICE
Reports to Council
Item #1

Signature Verification Costs
The City Clerk’s Office will contract with the Los Angeles County Data Entry and Signature Verification Section to verify signatures on the petition. Based on the most recent Los Angeles County Report of Registration (dated December 30, 2025) Burbank has 71,696 registered voters . To qualify for the ballot, recall proponents need to secure valid signatures from 15% (10,755) of Burbank’s registered voters; proponents have indicated they intend to secure approximately 12,000 signatures to ensure enough valid signatures.
The estimated cost for County signature verification ranges from $4,000– $72,000 depending on the number of signatures submitted and the verification method utilized.
If the County uses a 5% sampling rate (i.e., 600 signatures) the cost would range from $3,000–$6,000 (based on $5.00 per signature if the voter is in the Voting Information Management System or VIMS and $9.80 per signature if the voter is not located in VIMS).
The cost for a full verification rises to approximately $72,000 based on the County verifying 12,000 signatures. These numbers are rough estimates only.
The Co
unty’s initial intake process to prepare and stage the petition before signature verification is estimated at $1,000–$2,000 depending on the number of petition pages submitted, including a one-time cost of $39.90 for petition preparation and a cost of $1.30 per petition page submitted with a maximum of 15 signatures per page.
If s
ubmitted with enough valid signatures to be certified, the Council will be required to adopt a Resolution calling for the recall measure to be placed on the ballot (E lections Code §11240) with the election to be held between 88 and 125 days from the date of the Resolution (Elec. Code §11242). Depending on when the petition is certified , the recall election may be consolidated with the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election or held as a Special Election. Either scenario will add to the estimated cost as outlined in the following sections.
Scenario 1: Consolidated Election
August 7, 2026, is the last day for cities to file Resolutions with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and Registrar -Recorder/County Clerk’s Office to request consolidation with the November 3, 2026, General Election. If the recall petition is certified and the recall measure is called prior to this date, the recall and its associated costs will be consolidated with Los Angeles County’s election, and the estimated additional cost is approximately $43,500.
Sc
enario 2: Special Election and Associated Costs
Should the petition be certified after August 7, 2026, Council will need to adopt a Resolution calling for a Special Election on the recall, which the County estimates will cost between $1,129,000 and $1,465,000.
60 3
Appointment of a Successor
Council vacancies are governed by the Burbank City Charter at §900. The City Attorney’s Office will advise on future vacancies, as needed, at which time the City Clerk would return with any fiscal impact therefrom.
ENVI
RONMENTAL REVIEW
This staff report describes future municipal election activity which has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and, as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal.
Code Regs. § 15378.
FI
SCAL IMPACT
The County estimates the City’s November 3, 2026 election costs (for County Election services only) at $427,000 based on five elective offices, two ballot measures, and one Charter amendment . The total cost , should the ballot include the recall measure, is estimated at $471,000. Mandated legal notices, translation costs, and voter outreach will add costs.
If
the recall must be conducted as a Special Election, the County has provided an estimate of $1,129,000 to $1,465,000.
CONCL
USION
This report presents anticipated County Election service costs to hold the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election, and considers potential added costs for a recall measure depending on whether consolidated with the General Municipal Election or held as a Special Election.

Cathy Jaramillo, Sr. Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Review of the Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget
RECOMMENDATION
Review the proposed recommendations for the Fiscal Year (FY) 202 6-27 Budget and Citywide Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND
The City of Burbank has experienced several consecutive years of budget growth, due to rapid economic growth in the years following the COVID -19 pandemic as well as the impacts of inflation on the City’s revenue base. The local economy entering FY 2026–27 is expected to remain stable but moderating, with continued strength in property -based revenues, ongoing investments in new businesses and development throughout the City, and continued tourism growth. These factors are partiall y offset by sluggish retail sales and ongoing volatility in the entertainment sector, Burbank’s leading source of employment. The security of Burbank’s federal funding sources and the performance of CalPERS’ investment returns also remain a concern due to the impact of shifting federal policies on the stock market and the overall U.S. economy.
While U.S. economists are not currently projecting a recession in 2026, the risk is now considered elevated due to rising inflation, weak job growth, and geopolitical conflicts.
Consequently, as Burbank heads into a new fiscal year, the City is projecting slower revenue growth and heightened uncertainty compared to prior years. Fortunately, prior City Council decisions to increase reserves and set aside funds for future liabilities have Reports to Council
Item #2
68 2
placed Burbank in a favorable position to weather any future economic instability during these uncertain times.
The FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget was developed using a conservative and responsible approach for both revenues and appropriations while meeting the community’s needs and addressing the goals established by the City Council. Despite these efforts, the General Fund financial forecast does reflect a recurring budget deficit for the fiscal years 2026-27 through 2030-31. Staff is committed to mitigating this structural imbalance by continuing to implement cost-saving initiatives, identifying future efficiencies and revenue-generating opportunities, and maintaining financial policies that will provide long -term recurring savings to the City. The Proposed FY 2026-27 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 2026-27 General Fund Budget Overview
Based on the projected FY 20 26-27 revenues and proposed recurring appropriations, staff i s projecting a recurring deficit of approximately $2.6 million in FY 20 26-27 (see details included within the FY 20 26-27 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 2025-26, contributions to reserves, and proposed one-time appropriations, staff is expecting an available one-time balance of $28 million in the General Fund at the end of FY 2026-27.
FY 2026-27 General Fund Revenue
Despite the political instability here at home and throughout the world , the broader economic climate in the U.S. continues to show signs of growth. However, Burbank residents continue to face a significant financial squeeze as high living costs outpace modest wage growth and the local entertainment industry remains uncertain. Inflation is once again on the rise, and high insurance premiums, elevated gas prices, and the cost of other essential goods continue to reduce discretionary household income. The City’s financial forecast reflects modest growth while considering heightened uncertainty related to global conflict, energy prices, the local job market, and general consumer behavior.
Burbank’s General Fund recurring revenue estimates of $272.2 million for FY 2026 -27 represent a 4.4% increase over the revised FY 2025 -26 projections. Sales tax and property tax continue to be the General Fund's largest revenue sources, representing 54% of recurring revenue.

NOTE: FY 2024-25 includes $16.4M of non-recurring revenue.
• Sales Tax: Preliminary sales tax results for the second quarter of FY 2025-26 (fourth quarter calendar year 2025) a fter correcting for one -time adjustments, were down
7.8% compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Receipts declined in all major industry tax groups except for General Consumer Goods, Restaurants and Hotels, and Building and Construction. The Auto and Transportation category reported the largest decline of 53% due to a change in the total taxpayers’ statewide allocatio n.
This loss also resulted in the City’s share of the countywide tax pool diminishing, resulting in a 4.6% decline in related pool revenues. Fuel and Service Stati on results were down 4.6%, directly related to crude oil prices and a decline in consumption. The Business and Industry category reported a 15.9% decline, primarily due to one -time payments that occurred in the prior year.
The City’s Transactions and Use Tax (TUT) revenues, which are derived from Measure P, outperformed traditional sales tax receipts, with a fourth quarter increase of 1% compared to the prior year. The General Consumer Goods category increased 6% and Building and Construction was up 4.2%. The largest gains were reported from in-store and online retail sales.
70 4
Overall, Burbank’s sales tax revenues are anticipated to improve 1. 6% for FY 2026 - 27 based on the forecast from the City’s sales tax consultant, HdL, which is consistent with statewide forecasts. Growth is expected to continue at a slow and steady pace, with inflation and essential spending supporting sales tax revenues, though not at levels sufficient to fully offset declines experienced in prior years.
• 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 Proposition 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 6-27, 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 2024-25, citywide AV increased by 2.6%, or $854 million for FY 2025- 26, with General Fund related AV increasing by 3.7%. The increase in AV was driven primarily by t he annual inflationary adjustment (CPI), transfers of ownership (reassessments), and new residential construction . These factors added $1.3 billion to the tax roll. Staff is projecting property tax revenue to increase by 4% for FY 2026- 27, reflecting the continued growth throughout the City.
The median sales price of a detached single -family residential home in Burbank for the first quarter of 202 6 was $1.3 million. This represents a 5% increase from the fourth quarter of 2025 and a 2% increase from the first quarter of 2025. The California housing market is leveling off, with home prices stabilizing and listings taking longer to sell. The market is cooling down as mortgage rates remain elevated but relatively flat, transitioning into a more balanced and sustainable environment for buyers and sellers.
• Utility User’s Tax (UUT): Burbank’s 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. In May 2025, the Burbank City Council adopted two consecutive years of electric rate increases of 9.9%, effective January 1, 2026, and January 1, 2027. General Fund UUT revenue is anticipated to increase by 7.8% for FY 2026-27, attributable to the electric rate increase along with higher natural gas prices . These increases are offset by reduced electric usage due to efficiencies as well as the continual decline in wireless telecom revenue, as wireless plans shift towards nontaxable data charges.
71 5
• 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 Fire Department projects a 14.6% increase in EMS revenues due to the deployment of a fourth 24/7 rescue ambulance, an increase in emergency medical transports, and the Department's participation in the Public Provider Emergency Medical Transport (PPGEMT) program. Other p rojections for FY 2026 -27 include revenue increases for Parks and Recreation related to the reopening of the Starlight Bowl, increased Golf Green fees at the DeBell Golf course , and increased contract fees. Public Works revenue increases relate to ongoing developments and residential activity throughout the City. Staff is forecasting an increase in service charge revenues of 3.4% for FY 2026-27.
• Parking/Traffic/Other Fines: Parking fines are issued by the Burbank Police Department and represent a small portion of the General Fund revenue. Revenues 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 2026-27, revenue in this category is anticipated to increase by 8% from the revised FY 2025-26 budget, given the new parking management program in Downtown Burbank and improved citywide parking enforcement efforts.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): The City receives 10% TOT on short-term lodging rentals within the city limits. Local tourism has been impacted by decreased international travel, public safety concerns, and increased competition with other destinations. The average h otel occupancy rate for the first quarter of 2026 was
74.8%, down from 76.5% in the prior year. Occupancy levels in 2025 rose significantly due to the displacement demand from the Eaton fires. According to Visit California ’s February update, 2026 domestic visitation to California is expected to increase by
1.7% while international visitation is expected to grow by 2.7%. Staff anticipates Burbank’s tourism growth to exceed those expectations in the coming year with the opening of the FIFA World Cup in June 2026 and the Super Bowl in 2027. For FY 2026-27, Burbank is projecting a 3% increase in TOT from the revised FY 2025 -26 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 Burbank Airport, the City’s TPT is dependent on travel demand. Despite a slight decrease in airport passenger counts in early 2026, staff anticipates TPT revenues to increase by 7.8% for FY 2026-27 as a result of the new airport terminal opening in October.

FY 2026-27 General Fund Expenditures:
The Mid-Year Financial Report was presented to the City Council on March 10, 2026, and projected a recurring General Fund deficit of $ 4.2 million heading into FY 202 6-27.
Despite the forecasted budget deficit, the City began the FY 2026-27 budget development process striving to avoid any significant budget cuts that would negatively impact programs and services that benefit the Burbank community. This was accomplished through a combination of actions, including limiting new recurring budget requests to items critical to maintaining operations , exploring long -term options to enhance City revenues, working with labor to implement joint solutions, and taking advantage of the City’s strong cash position to bridge the remaining gap with one-time funds.
Proposed recurring General Fund appropriations for FY 202 6-27 are $274.8 million, an increase of approximately 4.8% over last year’s adopted recurring budget of $262.2 million, with MOU increases and related pension expenses serving as the largest driver of that increase . While s taff made significant efforts to maintain spending at existing budget levels citywide, the City Manager did approve several budget requests that were identified by departments as immediate funding needs in order to maintain service levels as well as a handful of one-time items that directly align with the City Council’s identified goals.
Roughly $2.9 million in new General Fund recurring budget requests ($1.4 million net of revenue) and $3.8 million in one -time requests were incorporated into the FY 202 6-27 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 2026-27 Budget Document under the “New Budget Requests” tab.

73 7
The following are some of the notable new items included in the Proposed FY 202 6-27 Budget:
➢ The Burbank Fire Department is requesting funding to maintain the 24/7 ambulance pilot program on a recurring basis, which is largely offset by increased EMS revenues resulting from the program’s implementation . A o ne-time appropriation request is also included for the replacement of several emergency apparatus, including an aerial ladder truck, three rescue ambulances, and a command staff vehicle.
➢ The Community Development Department is proposing to add a new Senior Administrative Analyst position to administer projects and programs for the Burbank Hospitality Association (BHA). This request is fully offset by the Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID). In addition, a one-time funding request is included to sustain the current level of homeless programs and services aligned with the City’s approved Homelessness Plan.
➢ The Parks and Recreation Department is adding recurring funding for DeBell Golf Course operations amidst rising costs associated with utilities, services, goods and labor. Funding is also requested to cover costs associated with transitioning from the City’s annual July 4th fireworks display to a drone light show to address heightened wildfire risks.
Discussion Papers:
At this time, seven items have been identified as discussion papers for FY 202 6-27. In total, these items would have a General Fund recurring impact of $65,000. 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 they would like to consider for discussion papers. These items will be compiled and reviewed at the Budget presentation on May 19th.
Citywide Fee Schedule
The FY 2026-27 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 to the user.
Some of the more notable changes to the Fee Schedule for FY 2026 -27 include fees to expedite the process for plan checks and permit applications, off -street parking during special events, and fees to operate the lights for evening field reservations. The FY 2026– 27 Fee Schedule includes proposed increases to most of the City’s fees for services, in line with the City Council’s cost recovery policy. This policy is intended to create a consistent, objective fee structure that reflects industry best practices and ensures 74 8
compliance with Proposition 26, which restricts certain fees to the reasonable cost of providing services. The City last conducted a comprehensive User Fee Study in FY 2022– 23 to evaluate its fee structure and accurately assess the cost of delivering vario us programs and services. Based on that study’s recommendations, staff propose adjusting City fees by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to preserve the current level of cost recovery.
To support the regional entertainment industry and strengthen Burbank’s local economy, film permits and all fees related to filming have been exempted from CPI-based increases for FY 2026-27. There are no recommended fee increases for film related fees.
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. Currently enrolled in the program are 829 participants, 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 2026-27 State Budget Proposal
In early January, Governor Newsom released his proposed State of California budget for FY 2026 -27. This proposal serves as the beginning of deliberations in the State Legislature, leading to final budget adoption in June 2026. The proposal calls for a $348.9 billion budget, with a General Fund total of $248.3 billion. The proposed budget estimates $2.9 billion in various budget solutions to close a modest shortfall in FY 2026 -27. Last year, the administration was proactive in taking a multi -year approach and addressing shortfalls ahead of time. This approach, along with a surge in tech -driven revenues, has contributed to a stronger fiscal position for the upcoming year. Revenue receipts have continued to improve since June 2025 and have contributed to strong growth for FY’s 2025-26 and 2026-27.
The proposed budget includes three categories of discretionary proposals:
• Short-term proposals providing $2.8 billion of budget savings primarily by suspending a required "true-up" deposit into the Rainy-Day Fund. • New discretionary General Fund spending of $570 million for various priority programs and $180 million for the extension of existing tax incentives, such as the California Competes Tax Credit.
• New discretionary reserve balance of $4.5 billion for the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties (SFEU), to provide support in dealing with unanticipated cost increases, such as for wildfires, federal policy shifts, or declines in revenue.
The Governor is revising the revenue forecast from the 2025 Budget Act due to the economy’s stronger than anticipated performance, particularly in the high -wage technology sector. The three main drivers of the revision are as follows:
75 9
• Personal income tax ($16.4 billion)
• Corporation tax ($24.6 billion)
• Pooled money interest ($1.2 billion)
The 2025 Budget Act assumed withdrawals of $7.1 billion in FY 2025-26 from the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA), also known as the Rainy-Day Fund. The BSA receives 1.5% of the General Fund tax revenue as well as a portion from capital gains. The FY 2026-27 proposed budget maintains the planned withdrawal but also proposes a new $3 billion deposit for the upcoming year to bolster long -term stability. The State has maintained a disciplined approach to reserves, projecting a total of $23 billion in combined insurance funds by the end of the fiscal year.
The State of California utilizes revenue from per -gallon fuel taxes and motor vehicle registration charges to fund road and transit improvements. Local city and county shares are distributed through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) and the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) established by Senate Bill 1 (SB -1).
Under SB-1, rates are adjusted annually using the California Consumer Price Index (CPI), effective July 1 and January 1 of every year for fuel taxes and vehicle registration rates.
Despite lower fuel consumption, scheduled rate increases stipulated in SB -1 have kept local allocations of revenue growing at a modest pace, though this growth is expected to flatten out by FY 2027 -28. To offset the decline in fuel tax, vehicle registration tax revenues, such as the Transportation Improvement Fee and the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Road Improvement Fee), are forecasted to increase. For FY 2026-27, the City of Burbank is estimated to receive $3.0 million in RMRA revenue, an increase of 3.6% from FY 2025-26 projections. HUTA is anticipated to receive $3.1 million, a modest increase of 1.7% from the prior year. Staff will continue to monitor developments in the state budget process and provide updates to the City 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 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.
76 10
It is staff’s expectation that both recurring revenue and recurring expenditure growth will average 3.9% over the next five years (FY 2026 -27 through FY 2030 -31). Revenue expectations have been revised based on the most recent economic data available, as well as in recent and planned business openings and developments. The average revenue growth in the current forecast includes projections of 2.8% for Sales Tax and
4.4% 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 73% of the General Fund recurring budget. As such, the MOU negotiation process for the various bargaining groups plays a significant role in determining the City’s financial position. All bargaining gr oups have MOUs in place for FY 2026-27, except for the Burbank City Employees’ Association (BCEA). Aligning with Council’s Financial Policies related to employee compensation, the General Fund forecast includes assumptions for salary and benefit growth ove r 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 employee salaries 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, and Burbank is no exception. In previous years, the City has taken measures toward mitigating pension cost increases, including:
➢ Sending Additional Discretionary Payments (ADPs) to CalPERS over the City’s required contributions to decrease Burbank’s unfunded liability ➢ Establishing a Section 115 Trust to offset future pension volatility ➢ Increasing employee contributions toward their pension costs Based on the recent actuarial reports, Burbank has an Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) of just under $435 million across the City’s three pension plans. The funded status for the City’s three plans is currently 79% for Miscellaneous, 73% for Police, and 75% for Fire, for an average of 75%, up from 74% in the prior year. Table 3 shows the actual CalPERS employer rates and UAL contributions for the three employee classifications for the current FY 2025 -26, the upcoming FY 2026 -27, and the projected employer rates and contributions for the following two fiscal years (FY 2027-28 and FY 2028-29).

It is important to note that Burbank’s projected liability payments are based on an annual actuarial study that assumes CalPERS will meet its expected rate of return of 6.8% annually, as well as a set of demographic assumptions that inform the development of future pension rates. In November 2025, C alPERS adopted an experience study analyzing economic and demographic assumptions such as life expectancy, disability rates, and inflation. Costs are expected to increase for all groups beginning in FY 2027- 28 due to the increased salary scale and inflation.
Building on the strong returns of 11.6% from the previous fiscal year, CalPERS highlighted the fund’s continued growth during their spring 2026 meetings, indicating that they have generated nearly $43 billion in investment returns since the start of the current fiscal year. This performance has been largely driven by robust gains in public equities, which saw one-year returns of approximately 23.5%; however, recent fluctuations in the stock market may impact fiscal year -end returns. Any investment gains or losses experienced in the current fiscal year or changes to actuarial assumptions will affect Burbank's funded status and the City's required UAL payments beginning in FY 2028-29.
The City Council’s Pension Funding Commitment Policy requires the City to contribute half of any year -end General Fund balance over 6% of the budgeted recurring appropriations to fund employee pension liabilities. This funding is required if employee pension benefits are less than 90% funded. Burbank has complied with this policy by sending Additional Discretionary Payments (ADPs) to CalPERS over the City’s required contributions as well as depositing funds into a Section 115 trust which was established in 2020 to help support future pension -related economic volatility . Since 2019, the City has contributed $71 million in ADPs, generating $9.5 million in recurring budget savings citywide, and $6.6 million to the General Fund.
78 12
Given the continued success of these pension investments, staff is proposing a new multi- year pension funding plan which invests an additional $24 million in pension funding over the next four years . It is anticipated that this investment will generate over $1 million in recurring pension savings for each subsequent year of the plan, with about $750,000 in savings directly benefiting the General Fund. Included in the Proposed FY 2026 -27 Budget is a $6 million one-time pension contribution, of which $4.4 million is allocated to the General Fund. Given the projected General Fund deficit as well as the significant balance accumulated in the Section 115 trust, staff is proposing to utilize those funds to pay the General Fund’s share of the ADP payments over the next four years, thus preserving the General Fund’s cash balance. The trust has a balance of $35 million as of March 2026.
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 2026-27:
➢ $1,899,321 million to the Working Capital Reserve
➢ $633,107 to the Emergency Reserve
➢ $633,107 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, 2025, the City’s total General Fund accrued leave payout liability is estimated at $ 17.4 million. Currently, the City has $4 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 $318,469 in FY 2026-27.
Infrastructure Funding
Adhering to the City Council’s adopted Infrastructure Maintenance, Repair, and Improvement Policy, the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget continues to contribute half of the Measure P TUT revenue to the Municipal Infrastructure Fund 534, in addition to the annual $4.7 million General Fund maintenance of effort.
The FY 202 6-27 Proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) continues the City’s efforts towards addressing the infrastructure needs, with $49.5 million in proposed 79 13
general city capital spending from 15 different funds and funding sources, alongside $5.9 million in annual Fund 534 maintenance dollars.
The proposed CIP budget includes two significant capital appropriations for FY 2026-27.
The first allocates $11.1 million to the New Burbank Central Library and Civic Center project, which will fund the project expenses through the request for proposal (RFP) process and the selection of a progressive design build team, expected in Summer 2027.
The second allocates $15.6 million for construction of the McCambridge Pool Replacement, which is currently in the design phase and is expected to commence construction in FY 2026-27. Also included in the FY 2026-27 CIP is an investment in the City’s streets and sidewalks of $5.3 million, several park playground and facility upgrades, and a variety building improvements, including security upgrades, elevator modernization, and painting.
The proposed CIP projects were presented to the Infrastructure Oversight Board (IOB) for review on March 2 6, 2026 and April 23, 2026, 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 6-27 can be found in the “Capital Improvement Program” tab of the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget document.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity includes the FY 2026-27 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 Burbank faces a structural imbalance in all five years of the General Fund Financial Forecast, the challenge will be for the City to maintain expenditures in line with diminished revenue expectations. Increases in labor agreements , rising pension costs and inflationary impacts on the prices of goods and services, create upward pressure on expenditure growth and generate the need to identify future efficiencies and explore new sources of revenue in order to preserve exiting service levels to the community. As shown in Chart 1, the General Fund's five -year financial forecast includes a recurring deficit of approximately $2.6 million for the FY 2026-27, growing to $3.1 million in FY 2028-29, prior to the consideration of discussion papers . Fortunately, the FY 2026 -27 deficit represents less than one percent of the overall budget , and the City’s cash position remains strong, with a projected year -end non-recurring General Fund balance of $ 28 million at the end of FY 2026-27, 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 continuing fluctuations in the economy.

Burbank is heading into FY 202 6-27 with a proposed budget that reflects the City Council’s goals and priorities while still adhering 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 2026-27 year-end General Fund balance of $28 million, Burbank’s formal reserves total approximately $65.7 million and will increase with the adoption of this budget. These funds will allow the City to mitigate the impact of further economic fluctuations 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 6-27 Budget is scheduled for May 5, 2026, with continued discussion planned for May 19, 2026. The public hearing and adoption of the citywide budget and fee schedule are scheduled for June 2, 2026. Per the City’s Charter, the FY 2026-27 Budget must be adopted by June 30, 2026.

SUBJECT: Review of the Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget
RECOMMENDATION
Review the proposed recommendations for the Fiscal Year (FY) 202 6-27 Budget and Citywide Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND
The City of Burbank has experienced several consecutive years of budget growth, due to rapid economic growth in the years following the COVID -19 pandemic as well as the impacts of inflation on the City’s revenue base. The local economy entering FY 2026–27 is expected to remain stable but moderating, with continued strength in property -based revenues, ongoing investments in new businesses and development throughout the City, and continued tourism growth. These factors are partiall y offset by sluggish retail sales and ongoing volatility in the entertainment sector, Burbank’s leading source of employment. The security of Burbank’s federal funding sources and the performance of CalPERS’ investment returns also remain a concern due to the impact of shifting federal policies on the stock market and the overall U.S. economy.
While U.S. economists are not currently projecting a recession in 2026, the risk is now considered elevated due to rising inflation, weak job growth, and geopolitical conflicts.
Consequently, as Burbank heads into a new fiscal year, the City is projecting slower revenue growth and heightened uncertainty compared to prior years. Fortunately, prior City Council decisions to increase reserves and set aside funds for future liabilities have 90 2
placed Burbank in a favorable position to weather any future economic instability during these uncertain times.
The FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget was developed using a conservative and responsible approach for both revenues and appropriations while meeting the community’s needs and addressing the goals established by the City Council. Despite these efforts, the General Fund financial forecast does reflect a recurring budget deficit for the fiscal years 2026-27 through 2030-31. Staff is committed to mitigating this structural imbalance by continuing to implement cost-saving initiatives, identifying future efficiencies and revenue-generating opportunities, and maintaining financial policies that will provide long -term recurring savings to the City. The Proposed FY 2026-27 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 2026-27 General Fund Budget Overview
Based on the projected FY 20 26-27 revenues and proposed recurring appropriations, staff i s projecting a recurring deficit of approximately $2.6 million in FY 20 26-27 (see details included within the FY 20 26-27 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 2025-26, contributions to reserves, and proposed one-time appropriations, staff is expecting an available one-time balance of $28 million in the General Fund at the end of FY 2026-27.
FY 2026-27 General Fund Revenue
Despite the political instability here at home and throughout the world , the broader economic climate in the U.S. continues to show signs of growth. However, Burbank residents continue to face a significant financial squeeze as high living costs outpace modest wage growth and the local entertainment industry remains uncertain. Inflation is once again on the rise, and high insurance premiums, elevated gas prices, and the cost of other essential goods continue to reduce discretionary household income. The City’s financial forecast reflects modest growth while considering heightened uncertainty related to global conflict, energy prices, the local job market, and general consumer behavior.
Burbank’s General Fund recurring revenue estimates of $272.2 million for FY 2026 -27 represent a 4.4% increase over the revised FY 2025 -26 projections. Sales tax and property tax continue to be the General Fund's largest revenue sources, representing 54% of recurring revenue.

NOTE: FY 2024-25 includes $16.4M of non-recurring revenue.
• Sales Tax: Preliminary sales tax results for the second quarter of FY 2025-26 (fourth quarter calendar year 2025) a fter correcting for one -time adjustments, were down
7.8% compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Receipts declined in all major industry tax groups except for General Consumer Goods, Restaurants and Hotels, and Building and Construction. The Auto and Transportation category reported the largest decline of 53% due to a change in the total taxpayers’ statewide allocatio n.
This loss also resulted in the City’s share of the countywide tax pool diminishing, resulting in a 4.6% decline in related pool revenues. Fuel and Service Stati on results were down 4.6%, directly related to crude oil prices and a decline in consumption. The Business and Industry category reported a 15.9% decline, primarily due to one -time payments that occurred in the prior year.
The City’s Transactions and Use Tax (TUT) revenues, which are derived from Measure P, outperformed traditional sales tax receipts, with a fourth quarter increase of 1% compared to the prior year. The General Consumer Goods category increased 6% and Building and Construction was up 4.2%. The largest gains were reported from in-store and online retail sales.
92 4
Overall, Burbank’s sales tax revenues are anticipated to improve 1. 6% for FY 2026 - 27 based on the forecast from the City’s sales tax consultant, HdL, which is consistent with statewide forecasts. Growth is expected to continue at a slow and steady pace, with inflation and essential spending supporting sales tax revenues, though not at levels sufficient to fully offset declines experienced in prior years.
• 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 Proposition 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 6-27, 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 2024-25, citywide AV increased by 2.6%, or $854 million for FY 2025- 26, with General Fund related AV increasing by 3.7%. The increase in AV was driven primarily by t he annual inflationary adjustment (CPI), transfers of ownership (reassessments), and new residential construction . These factors added $1.3 billion to the tax roll. Staff is projecting property tax revenue to increase by 4% for FY 2026- 27, reflecting the continued growth throughout the City.
The median sales price of a detached single -family residential home in Burbank for the first quarter of 202 6 was $1.3 million. This represents a 5% increase from the fourth quarter of 2025 and a 2% increase from the first quarter of 2025. The California housing market is leveling off, with home prices stabilizing and listings taking longer to sell. The market is cooling down as mortgage rates remain elevated but relatively flat, transitioning into a more balanced and sustainable environment for buyers and sellers.
• Utility User’s Tax (UUT): Burbank’s 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. In May 2025, the Burbank City Council adopted two consecutive years of electric rate increases of 9.9%, effective January 1, 2026, and January 1, 2027. General Fund UUT revenue is anticipated to increase by 7.8% for FY 2026-27, attributable to the electric rate increase along with higher natural gas prices . These increases are offset by reduced electric usage due to efficiencies as well as the continual decline in wireless telecom revenue, as wireless plans shift towards nontaxable data charges.
93 5
• 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 Fire Department projects a 14.6% increase in EMS revenues due to the deployment of a fourth 24/7 rescue ambulance, an increase in emergency medical transports, and the Department's participation in the Public Provider Emergency Medical Transport (PPGEMT) program. Other p rojections for FY 2026 -27 include revenue increases for Parks and Recreation related to the reopening of the Starlight Bowl, increased Golf Green fees at the DeBell Golf course , and increased contract fees. Public Works revenue increases relate to ongoing developments and residential activity throughout the City. Staff is forecasting an increase in service charge revenues of 3.4% for FY 2026-27.
• Parking/Traffic/Other Fines: Parking fines are issued by the Burbank Police Department and represent a small portion of the General Fund revenue. Revenues 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 2026-27, revenue in this category is anticipated to increase by 8% from the revised FY 2025-26 budget, given the new parking management program in Downtown Burbank and improved citywide parking enforcement efforts.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): The City receives 10% TOT on short-term lodging rentals within the city limits. Local tourism has been impacted by decreased international travel, public safety concerns, and increased competition with other destinations. The average h otel occupancy rate for the first quarter of 2026 was
74.8%, down from 76.5% in the prior year. Occupancy levels in 2025 rose significantly due to the displacement demand from the Eaton fires. According to Visit California ’s February update, 2026 domestic visitation to California is expected to increase by
1.7% while international visitation is expected to grow by 2.7%. Staff anticipates Burbank’s tourism growth to exceed those expectations in the coming year with the opening of the FIFA World Cup in June 2026 and the Super Bowl in 2027. For FY 2026-27, Burbank is projecting a 3% increase in TOT from the revised FY 2025 -26 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 Burbank Airport, the City’s TPT is dependent on travel demand. Despite a slight decrease in airport passenger counts in early 2026, staff anticipates TPT revenues to increase by 7.8% for FY 2026-27 as a result of the new airport terminal opening in October.

FY 2026-27 General Fund Expenditures:
The Mid-Year Financial Report was presented to the City Council on March 10, 2026, and projected a recurring General Fund deficit of $ 4.2 million heading into FY 202 6-27.
Despite the forecasted budget deficit, the City began the FY 2026-27 budget development process striving to avoid any significant budget cuts that would negatively impact programs and services that benefit the Burbank community. This was accomplished through a combination of actions, including limiting new recurring budget requests to items critical to maintaining operations , exploring long -term options to enhance City revenues, working with labor to implement joint solutions, and taking advantage of the City’s strong cash position to bridge the remaining gap with one-time funds.
Proposed recurring General Fund appropriations for FY 202 6-27 are $274.8 million, an increase of approximately 4.8% over last year’s adopted recurring budget of $262.2 million, with MOU increases and related pension expenses serving as the largest driver of that increase . While s taff made significant efforts to maintain spending at existing budget levels citywide, the City Manager did approve several budget requests that were identified by departments as immediate funding needs in order to maintain service levels as well as a handful of one-time items that directly align with the City Council’s identified goals.
Roughly $2.9 million in new General Fund recurring budget requests ($1.4 million net of revenue) and $3.8 million in one -time requests were incorporated into the FY 202 6-27 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 2026-27 Budget Document under the “New Budget Requests” tab.

The following are some of the notable new items included in the Proposed FY 202 6-27 Budget:
➢ The Burbank Fire Department is requesting funding to maintain the 24/7 ambulance pilot program on a recurring basis, which is largely offset by increased EMS revenues resulting from the program’s implementation . A o ne-time appropriation request is also included for the replacement of several emergency apparatus, including an aerial ladder truck, three rescue ambulances, and a command staff vehicle.
➢ The Community Development Department is proposing to add a new Senior Administrative Analyst position to administer projects and programs for the Burbank Hospitality Association (BHA). This request is fully offset by the Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID). In addition, a one-time funding request is included to sustain the current level of homeless programs and services aligned with the City’s approved Homelessness Plan.
➢ The Parks and Recreation Department is adding recurring funding for DeBell Golf Course operations amidst rising costs associated with utilities, services, goods and labor. Funding is also requested to cover costs associated with transitioning from the City’s annual July 4th fireworks display to a drone light show to address heightened wildfire risks.
Discussion Papers:
At this time, seven items have been identified as discussion papers for FY 202 6-27. In total, these items would have a General Fund recurring impact of $65,000. 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 they would like to consider for discussion papers. These items will be compiled and reviewed at the Budget presentation on May 19th.
Citywide Fee Schedule
The FY 2026-27 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 to the user.
Some of the more notable changes to the Fee Schedule for FY 2026 -27 include fees to expedite the process for plan checks and permit applications, off -street parking during special events, and fees to operate the lights for evening field reservations. The FY 2026– 27 Fee Schedule includes proposed increases to most of the City’s fees for services, in line with the City Council’s cost recovery policy. This policy is intended to create a consistent, objective fee structure that reflects industry best practices and ensures 96 8
compliance with Proposition 26, which restricts certain fees to the reasonable cost of providing services. The City last conducted a comprehensive User Fee Study in FY 2022– 23 to evaluate its fee structure and accurately assess the cost of delivering vario us programs and services. Based on that study’s recommendations, staff propose adjusting City fees by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to preserve the current level of cost recovery.
To support the regional entertainment industry and strengthen Burbank’s local economy, film permits and all fees related to filming have been exempted from CPI-based increases for FY 2026-27. There are no recommended fee increases for film related fees.
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. Currently enrolled in the program are 829 participants, 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 2026-27 State Budget Proposal
In early January, Governor Newsom released his proposed State of California budget for FY 2026 -27. This proposal serves as the beginning of deliberations in the State Legislature, leading to final budget adoption in June 2026. The proposal calls for a $348.9 billion budget, with a General Fund total of $248.3 billion. The proposed budget estimates $2.9 billion in various budget solutions to close a modest shortfall in FY 2026 -27. Last year, the administration was proactive in taking a multi -year approach and addressing shortfalls ahead of time. This approach, along with a surge in tech -driven revenues, has contributed to a stronger fiscal position for the upcoming year. Revenue receipts have continued to improve since June 2025 and have contributed to strong growth for FY’s 2025-26 and 2026-27.
The proposed budget includes three categories of discretionary proposals:
• Short-term proposals providing $2.8 billion of budget savings primarily by suspending a required "true-up" deposit into the Rainy-Day Fund. • New discretionary General Fund spending of $570 million for various priority programs and $180 million for the extension of existing tax incentives, such as the California Competes Tax Credit.
• New discretionary reserve balance of $4.5 billion for the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties (SFEU), to provide support in dealing with unanticipated cost increases, such as for wildfires, federal policy shifts, or declines in revenue.
The Governor is revising the revenue forecast from the 2025 Budget Act due to the economy’s stronger than anticipated performance, particularly in the high -wage technology sector. The three main drivers of the revision are as follows:
97 9
• Personal income tax ($16.4 billion)
• Corporation tax ($24.6 billion)
• Pooled money interest ($1.2 billion)
The 2025 Budget Act assumed withdrawals of $7.1 billion in FY 2025-26 from the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA), also known as the Rainy-Day Fund. The BSA receives 1.5% of the General Fund tax revenue as well as a portion from capital gains. The FY 2026-27 proposed budget maintains the planned withdrawal but also proposes a new $3 billion deposit for the upcoming year to bolster long -term stability. The State has maintained a disciplined approach to reserves, projecting a total of $23 billion in combined insurance funds by the end of the fiscal year.
The State of California utilizes revenue from per -gallon fuel taxes and motor vehicle registration charges to fund road and transit improvements. Local city and county shares are distributed through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) and the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) established by Senate Bill 1 (SB -1).
Under SB-1, rates are adjusted annually using the California Consumer Price Index (CPI), effective July 1 and January 1 of every year for fuel taxes and vehicle registration rates.
Despite lower fuel consumption, scheduled rate increases stipulated in SB -1 have kept local allocations of revenue growing at a modest pace, though this growth is expected to flatten out by FY 2027 -28. To offset the decline in fuel tax, vehicle registration tax revenues, such as the Transportation Improvement Fee and the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Road Improvement Fee), are forecasted to increase. For FY 2026-27, the City of Burbank is estimated to receive $3.0 million in RMRA revenue, an increase of 3.6% from FY 2025-26 projections. HUTA is anticipated to receive $3.1 million, a modest increase of 1.7% from the prior year. Staff will continue to monitor developments in the state budget process and provide updates to the City 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 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.
98 10
It is staff’s expectation that both recurring revenue and recurring expenditure growth will average 3.9% over the next five years (FY 2026 -27 through FY 2030 -31). Revenue expectations have been revised based on the most recent economic data available, as well as in recent and planned business openings and developments. The average revenue growth in the current forecast includes projections of 2.8% for Sales Tax and
4.4% 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 73% of the General Fund recurring budget. As such, the MOU negotiation process for the various bargaining groups plays a significant role in determining the City’s financial position. All bargaining gr oups have MOUs in place for FY 2026-27, except for the Burbank City Employees’ Association (BCEA). Aligning with Council’s Financial Policies related to employee compensation, the General Fund forecast includes assumptions for salary and benefit growth ove r 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 employee salaries 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, and Burbank is no exception. In previous years, the City has taken measures toward mitigating pension cost increases, including:
➢ Sending Additional Discretionary Payments (ADPs) to CalPERS over the City’s required contributions to decrease Burbank’s unfunded liability ➢ Establishing a Section 115 Trust to offset future pension volatility ➢ Increasing employee contributions toward their pension costs Based on the recent actuarial reports, Burbank has an Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) of just under $435 million across the City’s three pension plans. The funded status for the City’s three plans is currently 79% for Miscellaneous, 73% for Police, and 75% for Fire, for an average of 75%, up from 74% in the prior year. Table 3 shows the actual CalPERS employer rates and UAL contributions for the three employee classifications for the current FY 2025 -26, the upcoming FY 2026 -27, and the projected employer rates and contributions for the following two fiscal years (FY 2027-28 and FY 2028-29).

It is important to note that Burbank’s projected liability payments are based on an annual actuarial study that assumes CalPERS will meet its expected rate of return of 6.8% annually, as well as a set of demographic assumptions that inform the development of future pension rates. In November 2025, C alPERS adopted an experience study analyzing economic and demographic assumptions such as life expectancy, disability rates, and inflation. Costs are expected to increase for all groups beginning in FY 2027- 28 due to the increased salary scale and inflation.
Building on the strong returns of 11.6% from the previous fiscal year, CalPERS highlighted the fund’s continued growth during their spring 2026 meetings, indicating that they have generated nearly $43 billion in investment returns since the start of the current fiscal year. This performance has been largely driven by robust gains in public equities, which saw one-year returns of approximately 23.5%; however, recent fluctuations in the stock market may impact fiscal year -end returns. Any investment gains or losses experienced in the current fiscal year or changes to actuarial assumptions will affect Burbank's funded status and the City's required UAL payments beginning in FY 2028-29.
The City Council’s Pension Funding Commitment Policy requires the City to contribute half of any year -end General Fund balance over 6% of the budgeted recurring appropriations to fund employee pension liabilities. This funding is required if employee pension benefits are less than 90% funded. Burbank has complied with this policy by sending Additional Discretionary Payments (ADPs) to CalPERS over the City’s required contributions as well as depositing funds into a Section 115 trust which was established in 2020 to help support future pension -related economic volatility . Since 2019, the City has contributed $71 million in ADPs, generating $9.5 million in recurring budget savings citywide, and $6.6 million to the General Fund.
100
12 Given the continued success of these pension investments, staff is proposing a new multi- year pension funding plan which invests an additional $24 million in pension funding over the next four years . It is anticipated that this investment will generate over $1 million in recurring pension savings for each subsequent year of the plan, with about $750,000 in savings directly benefiting the General Fund. Included in the Proposed FY 2026 -27 Budget is a $6 million one-time pension contribution, of which $4.4 million is allocated to the General Fund. Given the projected General Fund deficit as well as the significant balance accumulated in the Section 115 trust, staff is proposing to utilize those funds to pay the General Fund’s share of the ADP payments over the next four years, thus preserving the General Fund’s cash balance. The trust has a balance of $35 million as of March 2026.
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 2026-27:
➢ $1,899,321 million to the Working Capital Reserve
➢ $633,107 to the Emergency Reserve
➢ $633,107 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, 2025, the City’s total General Fund accrued leave payout liability is estimated at $ 17.4 million. Currently, the City has $4 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 $318,469 in FY 2026-27.
Infrastructure Funding
Adhering to the City Council’s adopted Infrastructure Maintenance, Repair, and Improvement Policy, the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget continues to contribute half of the Measure P TUT revenue to the Municipal Infrastructure Fund 534, in addition to the annual $4.7 million General Fund maintenance of effort.
The FY 202 6-27 Proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) continues the City’s efforts towards addressing the infrastructure needs, with $49.5 million in proposed 101
13 general city capital spending from 15 different funds and funding sources, alongside $5.9 million in annual Fund 534 maintenance dollars.
The proposed CIP budget includes two significant capital appropriations for FY 2026-27.
The first allocates $11.1 million to the New Burbank Central Library and Civic Center project, which will fund the project expenses through the request for proposal (RFP) process and the selection of a progressive design build team, expected in Summer 2027.
The second allocates $15.6 million for construction of the McCambridge Pool Replacement, which is currently in the design phase and is expected to commence construction in FY 2026-27. Also included in the FY 2026-27 CIP is an investment in the City’s streets and sidewalks of $5.3 million, several park playground and facility upgrades, and a variety building improvements, including security upgrades, elevator modernization, and painting.
The proposed CIP projects were presented to the Infrastructure Oversight Board (IOB) for review on March 2 6, 2026 and April 23, 2026, 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 6-27 can be found in the “Capital Improvement Program” tab of the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget document.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity includes the FY 2026-27 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 Burbank faces a structural imbalance in all five years of the General Fund Financial Forecast, the challenge will be for the City to maintain expenditures in line with diminished revenue expectations. Increases in labor agreements , rising pension costs and inflationary impacts on the prices of goods and services, create upward pressure on expenditure growth and generate the need to identify future efficiencies and explore new sources of revenue in order to preserve exiting service levels to the community. As shown in Chart 1, the General Fund's five -year financial forecast includes a recurring deficit of approximately $2.6 million for the FY 2026-27, growing to $3.1 million in FY 2028-29, prior to the consideration of discussion papers . Fortunately, the FY 2026 -27 deficit represents less than one percent of the overall budget , and the City’s cash position remains strong, with a projected year -end non-recurring General Fund balance of $ 28 million at the end of FY 2026-27, 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 continuing fluctuations in the economy.

14 Chart 1 - General Fund Financial Forecast FY 2026-27 through FY 2030-31 (in millions)
Burbank is heading into FY 202 6-27 with a proposed budget that reflects the City Council’s goals and priorities while still adhering 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 2026-27 year-end General Fund balance of $28 million, Burbank’s formal reserves total approximately $65.7 million and will increase with the adoption of this budget. These funds will allow the City to mitigate the impact of further economic fluctuations 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 6-27 Budget is scheduled for May 5, 2026, with continued discussion planned for May 19, 2026. The public hearing and adoption of the citywide budget and fee schedule are scheduled for June 2, 2026. Per the City’s Charter, the FY 2026-27 Budget must be adopted by June 30, 2026.

FD - 1 F001 24/7 Rescue Ambulance Pilot The Fire Department is requesting funding to continue its 24/7 ambulance pilot program, staffed
with two firefighter-paramedics per shift for one year.
The Department has operated with three rescue
ambulances as part of its deployment model since
2000 and the call volume has increased substantially
during that time. In July 2024, the Department
implemented a 40-hour ambulance pilot program,
which demonstrated an increase in EMS transport
capacity and ambulance availability in the City of
Burbank and expanded the schedule to 24/7 in
October 2025. The Department continues to
evaluate the efficacy of adding a fourth rescue
ambulance to its deployment model by extending
this pilot program for another year, which would
strengthen service to the community, ensure rapid
response, and reduce reliance on resources of
neighboring agencies.

FD - 2 F001 Fire Apparatus Replacement The Fire Department has several emergency apparatus due for replacement in FY 2026-27,
including an aerial ladder truck, three rescue
ambulances, and a command staff vehicle. Due to
inflation and supply chain issues, the Department
requires an additional $1.1 million towards the
replacement of its aerial ladder truck, $870,000
towards the replacement of its ambulances, and
$28,000 to replace its command staff vehicle. This
request is to supplement available depreciation
funds and account for inflationary increases to the
cost of new emergency apparatus. The Fire
Department responds to over 13,000 calls for service
annually, leading to wear and tear on emergency
apparatus over a useful life that varies from five to
fourteen years, depending on the type of vehicle.
Timely replacement of emergency apparatus is
essential to reliable and efficient delivery of
emergency medical and fire suppression services to
the community, mitigation of maintenance costs, and
ensuring a response-ready fleet.

Project Description
The Olive Avenue Bridge was constructed in 1959 and spans over the Burbank Western Channel, the Metrolink Tracks, Interstate 5, and several local streets including Bonnywood Place and Front Street. It is 1,420 feet long including the approach roadways. The first three spans (east end) are owned and maintained by Caltrans and the remaining seven spans are owned by the City of Burbank. The City owned structures are maintained by the County of Los Angeles under contract with the City of Burbank. The Bridge (and Magnolia) had a Feasibility Study completed in 2016 to potentially widen the bridges. This project will update that study to determine the best rehabilitation strategy for the Bridge as well as consider the new needs based upon the upcoming Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line that Metro is going to implement on Olive Avenue.
Project Status
This project will advance pre-planning, early design, environmental analyses, and community engagement towards replacing the Olive Avenue Bridge. Project Initiation Docusent (PID) and Project Approval and Enviormental Document (PAED) (30%) activities are expected to be completed in approximately 24-36 months.

Expenditure Plan
Project Description
In 2013, Burbank was allocated funds by Metro to improve traffic flow and safety through the Olive/Verdugo intersection. The project will upgrade traffic signal equipment, install signing and striping, and construct street improvements. It will reduce travel times, delays, and vehicle emissions. In addition, it will improve bicycle and pedestrian safety.
Project Status
In 2018, based on community input from residents near the project intersection, the City Council directed staff to return with a revised design alternative that included additional elements. Based on preliminary cost estimates, an additional $2 million in Measure R funding from Metro was secured to complete construction for the City's preferred alternative that was presented to Council in 2018.

Project Description
The Buena Vista Branch opened in 2002 and has not had any major renovation after over 20+ years. It serves as the most highly visited library branch with over 320,000 patrons annually. Due to high public use, the carpet and flooring have passed their useful life and require frequent repair with it being difficult to source adequate replacement to the current style and design. In the best interest to improve the space while flooring is replaced and in coordination with planned Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditiong (HVAC) upgrades, renovations to improve the safety, usage, and staff needs are as follows: 1. Currently, there is no dedicated teen space, which is critical for this location as it is in close proximity to area public and private high schools and middle schools. This project will replace an underutilized area to provide a glass partition, study booth, and lounge furniture to facilitate teen usage. 2. In addition, to address growing usage, additional staff spaces can be developed to accommodate 5 staff pods. 3. The window to an operable glass door to provide a connection to the outdoor space and provide acoustical treatment to main lobby entrance area.

This project entails constructing an add-on space to provide a dedicated turnout gear storage area for firefighter Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at Stations 14 and 15. Turnouts are currently stored on the apparatus floor at each of these stations, subjecting them to exposure to diesel fumes from vehicles. The new space would be physically separated from living and work areas and designed with appropriate ventilation to reduce the spread of contaminants associated with fireground operations. Creating a designated turnout storage area supports safe handling, drying, and organization of gear while improving overall station functionality. The project also advances firefighter health and safety by limiting exposure of clean PPE compared to products of combustion. It aligns with nationally recognized fire service best practices and standards for cancer prevention, while also reducing long-term health risks. The additional space would enhance operational readiness by ensuring turnout gear is properly stored, readily accessible, and maintained in a manner that extends its service life.

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 4)
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.” 20 20
FINANCIAL POLICIES
180
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.

REVENUE SOURCES AND DESCRIPTIONS
4 The General Fund Revenue section provides background information describing trends and economic factors and their impact on City revenues . The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 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. Although the broader economic climate shows signs of growth, Burbank residents continue to face a significant financial squeeze as high living costs outpace modest wage growth. I nflation is once again on the rise, and high insurance premiums and the cost of essential goods continue to reduce discretionary household income.
Burbank is expected to see moderate revenue growth for FY 2026-27. General Fund revenues are expected to increase by 4.4% over the revised revenue estimates for FY 2025-26 . Sales tax and property tax remain the General Fund’s largest revenue sources, accounting for 54% 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 Bradley -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 T ax
(TUT), with 50% of the revenue dedicated to infrastructure repairs, maintenance, and improvements and 50% going toward General Fund operations.
Overall, Burbank’s sales tax revenues are expected to improve 1. 6% for FY 2026-27 , consistent with statewide forecasts. Growth is expected to continue at a slow and steady pace, with inflation and essential spending supporting sales tax revenues, though not at levels sufficient to fully offset declines experienced in prior years.
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 A ssessed Value (AV) of property as determined by the LA County Assessor. The City of Burbank receives approximately 18.5% of the 1% levy on the AV.
Provisions included in Proposition 13 have, over the years, created a buffer between the current market value and the AV as determined by the Los Angeles (LA) County Assessor. Under Proposition 13, AV on parcels with continuing ownership may change with inflation as measured by the CPI, up to a maximum increase of 2%. The State has released CPI growth, and for FY 2026-27, AV on properties will increase by 2%. Other sources of AV growth include changes in ownership, new construction, recapture of prior Proposition 8 value impairments, changes in values for unsecured items such as aircraft, and post Redevelopment residual distribution. Staff is projecting property tax revenues to increase by 4% for FY 2026-27, reflecting the continued growth throughout the City. The market is cooling as mortgage rates remain elevated yet relatively flat, transitioning into a more balanced and sustainable environment for buyers and sellers.
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 2026- 27 electricity rates were adopted in May 2025 as part of a two-year phased increase. UUT revenue is anticipated to increase by 7.8% for FY 2026-27. The growth is attributable to a 9.9% electric rate increase and higher natural gas prices which are offset by the continued decline in wireless revenue due to the reclassification of data to non-taxable information services and reduced electric usage due to efficiencies.
Intra-City Service Charges, or indirect charges, are derived from charges for General Fund staff and services 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 central 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 9.9% for FY 2026-27.
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 Fire Department projects a 14.6% increase in EMS revenues due to the deployment of a fourth 24/7 rescue ambulance, increased emergency medical transports, and the Department’s participation in the Public Provider Emergency Medical Transport (PPGEMT) program. Other projections for FY 2026- 27 include revenue increases for Parks and Recreation related to the reopening of the Starlight Bowl, higher Golf Green fees at the DeBell Golf Co urse, and higher contract fees. Public Works revenue increase s relate to ongoing developments and residential activity throughout the City. Staff is forecasting a modest 3.4% increase in service charge revenues for FY 2026-27.

REVENUE SOURCES AND DESCRIPTIONS
5 In-Lieu of Tax is a charge of 7% on retail electric sales collected by the Burbank Water and Power (BWP) Department instead of the 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 for essential City services. In-Lieu of tax is anticipated to increase by
9.9% for FY 2026-27.
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 2026-27. This will allow flexibility in short-term maturity dates to minimize market value fluctuations as rates normalize.
Parking Fines are issued by the Police Department and represent a small portion of General Fund revenues. Fines depend on the amount of the fine, the number of citations issued, and the amount retained by county and state agencies. For FY 2026-27, revenue in this category is anticipated to increase by 8% over the revised FY 2025- 26 budget, reflecting the success of the new parking management program and improved parking enforcement.
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.
Occupancy levels in 2025 rose significantly due to the displacement demand from the Altadena fires. According to the Visit California website ’s February update, domestic visitation to California is expected to increase by 1.7%, while international visitation is expected to grow by 2.7%. Staff anticipate Burbank’s tourism growth to exceed those expectations in the coming year with the FIFA World Cup in June 2026 and the Super Bowl in 2027. For FY 2026-27, Burbank is projecting a 3% increase in TOT from the revised FY 2025-26 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 install ing electric, plumbing, and sewage facilities. A fee is levied for these permits to recover only the costs incurred. While there will be some activity for building permits during FY 2026 -27, it will not be as robust as in prior years and permits are anticipated to increase by 5.9%.
License fees are collected for certain types 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 of time (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 depends on the travel demand. Despite the slight decrease in airport passenger counts in early 2026, staff anticipates TPT revenues will increase by 7.8% for FY 2026-27 due to the opening of the new airport terminal opening in October 2026.
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 2026-27.
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 electricity 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 2026-27.
Intergovernmental Revenues are generally grants received from federal, state, and local governments to fund various City programs such as public safety, literacy, senior services , and nutrition. Other items within this category includ e reimbursements for state-mandated programs and reimbursements for Fire Department strike teams sent to battle wildfires throughout the state. For FY 2026-27, intergovernmental revenues will in crease by 23.2 %, primarily due to grant funding from the County of Los Angeles for Measure A Local Solutions Fund (LSF). 186

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 (including depreciation) of providing goods and services to users/customers. Revenues may be comprised of service charges, fees, sales, interest, and other income.
In May 2025, the City Council adopted utility rate increases for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27.
For FY 2026-27, the Electric rate will increase by 9.9% (effective January 1, 2027) due to state unfunded mandates, the 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 effective for January 1, 2027. 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% effective for January 1, 2027.
The increase in sewer charges is due to 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% (effective January 1, 2027) to meet rising operational costs, particularly those associated with state mandates, and to continue providing comprehensive refuse services including household trash disposal, organics composting, recyclable collections and processing, and bulky item pickups.
SUCCESSOR AGENCY ADMINISTRATION FUND
Legislation enacted by the State in June 2011, effectively ending Redevelopment Agencies (RDA) statewide on February 1, 2012, also authorized local agencies 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 the 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.

The Burbank Housing Authority was formed in 1975 to administer the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program which is funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This Program provides rent subsidy payments directly to landlords on behalf of eligible tenants 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 Housing 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 sources of revenue include parking permits, lease fees, the Downtown Public Facility Maintenance District levy , and metered parking along Downtown San Fernando Boulevard. In addition, AMC Theaters provide funds to offset downtown parking structure maintenance costs. 189

This fund provides a centralized funding mechanism that protects the City's assets through a comprehensive risk management program. The total cost of the Fund is charged to the departments through their 62220 account line -item charges. The General Liability Insurance Fund covers the cost of Citywide insurance premiums and self-insurance programs, including general liability, property, earthquake, crime, volunteer, accidental death and dismemberment, and related broker services. The Fund also covers the cost of all litigated and non-litigated general liability claims against the City, including defense costs, settlements, judgments, and civil service arbitrations. The Management Services Department, Risk Management and Safety Division, administers the General Liability Insurance Fund.
The insurance account was increased by $960,000 to cover increases driven by continued market volatility, including higher claim severity across the industry and reduced carrier appetite, all of which have contributed to upward pressure on premiums.

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 Riskonnect, Inc., formerly known as Ventiv Tech, which hosts Valley Oaks System (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 $1,764.11 per week. This is an increase of $83.82 per week as of January 1, 2026, and is subject to increase each year. 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. ➢ 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 actions 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. 15 233
