MEETING DATE: June 5, 2023
PREPARED BY: Darlene Gerdes, Deputy City Manager/City Clerk RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-25, A Resolution providing a Notice of Intention to set the time and place for a Public Hearing on July 17, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. regarding forwarding amounts remaining unpaid on the Solid Waste Lien List to the County of Riverside for addition to the 2023-2024 property tax rolls as special assessments.
DISCUSSION: Due to the need for the City to be in compliance with AB939, mandatory trash collection has been implemented citywide. In 1996, the City of Calimesa entered into an agreement with Cherry Valley Sanitation Service, Inc. for the collection, transportation, recycling, composting and disposal of solid waste and construction debris and for providing temporary bin/roll-off services in the City of Calimesa. On November 1, 2003 the Solid Waste Franchise Agreement was transferred from Cherry Valley Sanitation, Inc. to CR&R Incorporated. The current franchise agreement with CR&R, Inc. commenced April 1, 2008.
Chapter 8.30 of Title 8 of the Calimesa Municipal Code provides for the collection of solid waste delinquent accounts through liens on real property. Section 8.30.560 states that the City Council shall fix a time, date and place for a hearing and report any objections or protests thereto. The attached Resolution No. 2023-xx sets the time and place for a public hearing on July 17, 2023 at 6:00 p.m.
CR&R, Inc. has indicated that the current proposed lien list represents all delinquent cases where the property owner has been made aware of the service or was the person subscribing to the service. In addition to the regular billing process, each property owner and service subscriber appearing on the proposed lien list will receive a letter describing the status of their account and notice of the public hearing date. It is expected that the list will consist of approximately delinquent accounts, including both residential and commercial customers. At the City Council meeting of July 17, 2023, staff will present the final lien list for certification. Any property owner who has not made appropriate arrangements for payment with CR&R, Inc. will be included on this list. However, the deadline for making any such arrangements will be 5:30 p.m. on July 11, 2023 in order to accommodate those cases that may not be resolved in the property owner’s favor at the final protest hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT: The direct costs associated with collecting delinquent accounts through the lien provisions are borne by CR&R, Inc. In addition, the City will collect $25.00 per each delinquent account certified and presented for the property tax roll to cover any administrative costs incurred by the City.
There is no further fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND: On December 20, 2021, the Calimesa City Council directed staff to begin conducting the required process to transition the City of Calimesa Fire Department, from a Basic Life Support (BLS) service provider to an Advanced Life Support (ALS) Paramedic service provider.
Fire Department staff, under the direction of the City Fire Chief, have been actively procuring the required training, equipment, operating and governance requirements, in order to comply with the application process as required under the direction of the local Emergency Medical Services Authority also known as Riverside County Emergency Medical Services Authority (REMSA) to facilitate this service upgrade.
DISCUSSION: This operating agreement stipulates adherence with the tenants and governance requirements to provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) services in compliance with the relevant state and local requirements as defined by California Health and Safety Code Section 1797.218 and California Code of Regulations, Title 22, and the County of Riverside Ordinance No. 756, pertaining to the authorization and criteria to provide paramedic services and designate ALS First Responders.
At the November 7, 2022 meeting, Council adopted Resolution 2022-63 approving the operating agreement. However, the Riverside County Emergency Medical Services Authority(REMSA) requested a change to Section 4 – Term of the operating agreement extending the term. Therefore, the requested change will reflect an amendment to extend the operating agreement from July 1, 2023, through July 1, 2028, for a period of five (5) Years. Resolution No. 2023-26 will rescind and replace Resolution No. 2022-63 and approve the operating agreement reflecting the change to Section 4-Term.
FISCAL IMPACT: This Operating Agreement does not realize a fiscal impact.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2023-27 OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL 742 MEETING DATE: June 5, 2023
PREPARED BY: Will Kolbow, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2023-27, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calimesa opposing Assembly Bill 742 which, if passed, would greatly restrict the ability of California law enforcement organizations to utilize police canines as a nonlethal force option.
BACKGROUND: Assembly Bill (AB) 742 (as amended on May 18, 2023) effectively defines the use of a police canine as deadly force; only when there is an imminent threat to death or serious bodily injury (although the language used in AB 742 is more narrow than existing law on deadly force).
Although the original draft simply banned all use of police canines, the current version of AB 742 represents almost a complete ban on the use of police canines, negating their significant role in deescalation and officer safety.
DISCUSSION: AB 742 restricts the use of canines in the following ways:
1. Prohibits the use of an unleashed canine for arrest or apprehension unless “the person is being pursued for a felony that threatened or resulted in the death of or serious bodily injury to another person and the person poses an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or to another person.”
2. Prohibits use for crowd control at any assembly, protest, or demonstration.
3. Prohibits canines from being used to bite in any circumstance unless there is “an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or another person by the person against whom the canine is used.”
4. AB 742 also specifies that any death or serious bodily injury caused by the canine shall be considered deadly force and be attributable to the canine’s handler.
5. Finally, AB 742 does allow the use of canines for search and rescue, explosive detection, and narcotics detection that do not involve biting.
There are several major concerns with AB 742 as currently drafted, including the following:
1. Statistics consistently show canine deployments result in compliance and/or surrender of a suspect in over 90% of cases, and multiple court decisions have argued against defining canines as deadly force, as they do not pose a substantial risk to death or serious bodily injury.
2. In restricting canines to deadly force situations, the bill effectively bans their use to de-escalate situations (since their only deployment would be when threats are imminent), or to search for suspects lying in wait to ambush an officer.
3. Under AB 742 an officer could not use a canine off the leash to search for a suspect if there is even a chance of a bite. As such, K9s could not be used against a suspect hiding in a warehouse, field, crawl space, attic, or in any situation where there is not an imminent threat.
4. AB 742 does not include the “reasonable officer” standard used in existing deadly force laws, and as such would allow any untrained person to surmise what was, or was not, an imminent threat.
5. AB 742 also does not include the fleeing felon exception from existing deadly force laws, and as such, restricts use against a fleeing felon unless the person poses an imminent threat, which is more restrictive than existing law governing the use of a firearm.
The City of Murrieta has requested that Riverside County cities oppose AB 742 for the reasons outlined. Additionally, the League of California has taken an opposition position on the bill. Although the City of Calimesa contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, the Sherrif’s Department uses canines and the City has access to canine resources when needed.
For the reasons outlined above and in support of the law enforcement community, staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 2023-27. If approved by the City Council, a copy of the Resolution will be sent to Assemblymember Chris Holden, the chair of the Assembly Appropriations Committee, along with the City’s state legislative representatives.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this Resolution.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALIMESA, CALIFORNIA OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL 742 WHICH, IF PASSED, WOULD
GREATLY RESTRICT THE ABILITY OF CALIFORNIA LAW ENFORCEMENT
ORGANIZATIONS TO UTILIZE POLICE CANINES AS A NON-LETHAL
FORCE OPTION
WHEREAS, on February 13, 2023, Assemblyman Corey Jackson (D-Moreno Valley) introduced California Assembly Bill 742 which, as amended on May 18, 2023 and if adopted, would greatly restrict the use of police canine units for apprehension and crowd control, as specified in the bill; and
WHEREAS, the City of Calimesa actively opposes California Assembly Bill 742 and considers the proposed bill an uninformed and counter-productive attempt to restrict a lawful, effective, and legitimate non-lethal force option throughout the State of California; and
WHEREAS, the City of Calimesa promotes an acute understanding of the importance of de-escalation techniques and advocates for effective de-escalation tools, including the use and presence of police canines in appropriate situations; and WHEREAS, the City of Calimesa advocates for and promotes the use of controlled and necessary non-lethal force options versus lethal force options when appropriate; and
WHEREAS, the City of Calimesa understands the incredible value of police canines and the invaluable non-lethal force option police canines provide for police officer’s in dangerous situations; and
WHEREAS, the City of Calimesa recognizes and declares that police canines are the only use of force that can be “re-called” or “called-off” after being deployed but prior to an apprehension if necessary.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALIMESA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AND DECLARE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Police canines provide an effective de-escalation tool and non-lethal force option for California law enforcement organizations.
Section 2. The City of Calimesa firmly opposes California Assembly Bill 742 and considers the proposed legislation irresponsible, counter-productive, and unnecessary.
Section 3. The City of Calimesa publicly voices said opposition to California Assembly Bill 742 and will work collaboratively with elected officials, the California Police Chief’s Association, the League of California Cities, and other like-minded organizations to advocate against the passage of California Assembly Bill 742.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF ASPHALT MAINTENANCE TRAILER
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2023
PREPARED BY: Eric Williamson, Maintenance Supervisor
Margaret Monson, Director of Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the purchase of a 2.5-ton asphalt maintenance trailer from Concord Road Equipment, Inc. in the amount of $30,902.98.
DISCUSSION: Currently, the City of Calimesa Public Works Department services close to 43 miles of city streets. Staff has purchased various types of cold mix from multiple manufacturers to use for asphalt patching. While the manufacturers claim cold patching is a permanent fix, this has not been staff’s experience.
Larger patch jobs are done with hot mix. Staff purchases this product from a company in Fontana.
This material must be called in for pick up the day prior to the day of work and must be used in a timely manner. With the limited resources that the Public Works Department is already experiencing, this makes this task very difficult. Depending on the weather, staff has about two hours from pickup to use the material. After that, the material starts to harden and is no longer pliable unless it’s reheated. The City currently does not have the equipment needed to reheat.
In the time period of July 2022 through March 2023, the City purchased roughly $7,500.00 in cold mix product to meet the high demand of repairs in our streets. It averages $1,263.00 per one and a half tons of material where the hot mix averages $65.00 a ton. Also, staff is required to purchase liquid asphalt material to help the bonding process between the street and the new material staff is applying. Currently staff can only get this material in 5-gallon buckets as the City does not have the equipment to be able to dispense larger quantities from buying in bulk. It costs on average $106.00 for every 5 gallons of this liquid bonding agent.
Procuring this asphalt trailer will save the City a significant amount of money annually and allow staff to work more efficiently. This unit can be prepped the night before with material inside and be ready to handle multiple repairs the next morning. Also, when doing repairs around the city, this unit will keep the material to an adequate temperature to apply it at any time throughout the day if the unit continues to run. The trailer has a 35-gallon tack (liquid asphalt bonding agent) tank which staff will be able to apply to repairs through a spray wand.
Staff solicited quotes from 3 different suppliers, with the lowest quote received from Concord Road Equipment, Inc. in the amount of $30,902.98.
FISCAL IMPACT: The approved FY 2022-23 General Fund budget has a sufficient balance available for this purchase.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 8
SUBJECT: ON-CALL ASPHALT REPAIR SERVICES
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2023
PREPARED BY: Mari Shakir, Associate Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council award a contract with B-81 Paving, Inc for on-call asphalt repair services with the annual not to exceed amount of $35,000.
BACKGROUND: The Public Works department is responsible for the maintenance of approximately 43 miles of City streets. With the current resources available, in-house staff are limited to filling potholes and sinkholes. These are temporary fixes, with full repair involving full depth asphalt removals, saw cuts, compaction and two layers of asphalt – a base course and an asphalt cap. For these repairs, the City is required to utilize the services of a contractor. Since any public works project over $5,000 is required to go out to bid, it saves staff time and resources to have an on-call contract for these services.
Staff released a Notice Inviting Bids using a bid schedule based on quantities from a previous repair to determine the lowest bidder. As an on-call contract, exact quantities could not be specified. Any requested work will be paid at the unit price amount. Bids were received from B-81 Paving, Inc., Hardy & Harper, Inc., and Onyx Paving Company, Inc, with the B-81 being the lowest bidder in the amount of $9,500. The contract annual not to exceed amount is set at $35,000 which equates to a potential 3 repairs per year.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-24 Public Works Department budget has a sufficient balance of $35,000 available for use of these services.

These rates are on file with the Clerk of the City.
Travel and subsistence payments to each worker needed to execute the work shall be made as such travel and subsistence payments are defined in the applicable collective bargaining agreements filed in accordance with Section 1773.1 of the Labor Code.
The Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 1774 of the Labor Code.

The holiday wage rate listed shall be applicable to all holidays recognized in the collective bargaining agreement of the particular craft, classification or type of worker concerned.
The City will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the Contractor of any wage rate in excess of the prevailing wage rate set forth in the contract. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Contractor in determining its bid, and will not, under any circumstances, be considered as the basis of a claim against the City on the contract. The Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with Section 1777.6 of the
City of Calimesa
Labor Code which stipulates that it shall be unlawful to refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices solely on the grounds of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or age of such employee, except as provided in Section 3077 of the Labor Code.
Worker’s Compensation Certificate
Section 3700 of the Labor Code requires that every employer shall secure the payment compensation by either being insured against liability to pay compensation with one or more insurers or by securing a certificate of consent to self-insure from the State Director of Industrial Relations. In accordance with this section and with Section 1861 of the Labor Code, the Contractor shall sign a Compensation Insurance Certificate, which is included with the Contract Agreement, and submit the same to the City along with the other required contract documents, prior to performing any work. Reimbursement for this requirement shall be considered as included in the various items of work.
Drug Free Workplace
Contractor agrees to comply with the City’s Drug Free Workplace Policy.
Attorney Fees
In the event of any action between City and Contractor seeking enforcement of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be awarded, in addition to damages, injunctive or other relief, reasonable costs and expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees.
Arbitration
All claims, disputes, and other matters in question between the parties to this agreement arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the breach thereof, may be decided by arbitration if the parties mutually agree. No consolidation, joinder or in any other manner, any additional person not an arbitration arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement shall include, by party to this Agreement except by written consent containing a specific reference to this Agreement and signed by the Construction Manager, the owner and any other person sought to be joined. Any consent to arbitration involving an additional person or persons shall consent to arbitration of any dispute not described therein or with any person not named or described therein. This agreement to arbitrate and any agreement to arbitrate with an additional person or persons duly consented to by the parties to this agreement shall be specifically enforceable.
Notice of request for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to this Agreement, and a copy shall be filed with the Architect. The request shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen. In no event shall the request for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceeding based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
Work Performance
City of Calimesa
All work shall be conducted and completed in accordance with all current, applicable state and federal laws, including, but not limited to Labor Code Sections 1770 et. seq. where applicable; local laws, ordinances and regulations; and all maps, plans and specifications on file with the City. Where any such construction has been partially completed prior to this Agreement, Contractor agrees to complete them in accordance with this paragraph.
Clayton Act and Cartwright Act
Section 4552 of the State Government Code specifies that in executing a public works contract with the City to supply goods, services or materials, the Contractor or Subcontractor offers and agrees to assign to the City all rights, title and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. Sec. 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 commencing with Sec. 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code, arising from purchase of goods, services or materials pursuant to the contract or subcontract.
This assignment shall become effective when the City tenders final payment to the Contractor without further acknowledgment by the parties.
Substitution of Securities
In conformance with the State of California Public Contract Code Section 22300, the Contractor may substitute securities for any funds withheld by the City to ensure performance under the contract.
At the request and expense of the Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the City or with a State or Federally chartered bank as the escrow agent who shall pay such funds to the Contractor upon notification by the City of Contractor’s satisfactory completion of the contract. The type of securities deposited, and the method of release shall be approved by the City Attorney’s office.
Subletting and Subcontracting
Pursuant to the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (commencing with Section 4100 of the Public Contract Code), bidders are required to list in their proposal the name and location of place of business of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render services in or about the project of the work or improvement or a subcontractor who specially fabricates and installs a portion of the work or improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the Plans and Specifications in excess of ½ of 1% of this prime contractor’s total bid. Failure to list a subcontractor for a portion of the work means that the prime contractor will do that portion of the work. It is the Agency’s intent for the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act to apply to all phases of the work.
Licenses and Permits
The Contractor shall have in full force and effect all licenses required by law for the performance of the services described in the scope of work for the entire duration of the project. The Contractor shall obtain a City Business license and any required building permits prior to the City issuing the notice to Proceed. The current annual fee for a Business License is Fifty-Two Dollars ($52.00).

PREPARED BY: Will Kolbow, City Manager
Celeste Reid, Finance Director & Treasurer
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-28, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calimesa, California, establishing the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Appropriation Limit; and that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-29, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calimesa, adopting the FY 2023-24 General Fund Operating Budget, Special Revenue Funds Budgets, Capital Improvement Program and Cost Allocation Plan, and Amending the FY2022-23 Approved Budget; and that the Successor Agency adopt CSA Resolution No. 2023-01 of the Board of Directors of the Successor Agency to the Calimesa Redevelopment Agency adopting the Proposed Calimesa Successor Agency Budget for FY 2023-24.
DISCUSSION:
Fiscal Year 2023-24 Proposed Budget
Staff presented on May 2, 2023, the Proposed Budget to the Finance Committee and on May 22, 2023, the City Council held a Special Budget Workshop to review the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget.
During the workshop, staff presented comprehensive detailed information of the Proposed Budget.
This report will provide a summary of the information provided at the workshop.
The General Fund proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24 provides for a balanced budget, including a structural surplus, meaning that ongoing revenues exceed ongoing expenditures. It also includes a transfer of $2.2 million in transfers out to other funds to be used for one-time capital project spending, including $1 million for pavement management, as well as funding of reserves related to vehicle and information technology replacement. The City Council continues to maintain a strong fiscal policy which results in a 79% total reserve for the year ending June 30, 2024.
The specifics of the FY2023-24 proposed General Fund budget are detailed below:
Ongoing One-time Total
Revenues $ 9,540,600 $ 531,000 $ 10,071,600
Expenditures 8,907,474 359,225 9,266,699
Operating Surplus 633,126 171,775 804,901
Transfers Out 2,208,900 - 2,208,900
Net Change 633,126 (2,037,125) (1,403,999)
Beginning Fund Balance 8,045,355
Ending Fund Balance $ 6,641,356
General Fund Summary
General Fund Revenues
The chart below depicts overall estimated General Fund revenue and, by percentage, each category’s respective share of the overall revenue base.
When compared to the FY2022-23 projected actuals, FY2023-24 revenues will be lower by about $2.1 million. However, the primary reason for this difference is due to several significant one-time revenues received in FY2022-23, including Development Agreement Fees ($1.7 million), Recycle Deposit ($392,000) and additional plan check fee activity ($278,000). Several recurring revenue categories are expected to increase, including property taxes ($83,000) and Public Services CFD contributions ($125,000).
General Fund Expenditures
The chart below depicts overall proposed General Fund expenditures and each department’s respective share of the overall expenditure base.
Expenditures are projected to decrease by approximately $2.7 million in FY2023-24 compared to FY2022-23. This decrease is primarily due to one-time expenditures incurred in FY2022-23, including a transfer out for pavement management ($1 million) and the purchase of a new ladder truck ($2.2 million). Significant one-time expenditures included in the FY2023-24 budget are additional fire prevention and building and safety services related to expected development activity ($234,725) and the purchase of new turnouts for the Fire Department ($80,000). New recurring expenditures in FY2023-24 include a 5% citywide, with the exception of the City Manager, cost-ofliving adjustment ($125,000), an increase in the City’s cafeteria plan benefit contributions ($11,000), range adjustments for two existing positions ($11,288), additional staff, including a new Senior Accountant, Planning Technician, Battalion Chief, and three Apparatus Engineers ($368,679), and eight new Flock cameras for the Police Department ($24,000).
Reserves
Based on the proposed budget, total reserves, including Capital Projects, Vehicle Replacement, and Information Technology funds, at June 30, 2024 are projected to be $7,289,290, or 79% of total General Fund expenditures and 82% of General Fund recurring expenditures. The reserves consist of the following:
Reserve
Projected
Balance at
6/30/2024
General Fund Contingency Reserve (35% of General Fund Expenditures) $ 3,243,344 General Fund Parks and Trails 75,000
General Fund Unreserved Fund Balance 3,323,011
Capital Projects Fund Balance (Fund 16) 57,935
Vehicle Replacement Fund Balance (Fund 75) 435,000
Information Technology Reserve Fund Balance (Fund 76) 155,000 TOTAL RESERVES $ 7,289,290
Included in the reserves is a new reserve dedicated to parks and trails. This set-aside expresses the City Council’s commitment to investing in the community to provide spaces for residents to enjoy Calimesa’s natural beauty.
Appropriations Limit
California's state appropriations limit (SAL) was originally put in place by Proposition 4 in 1979 which established Article XIII B of the State Constitution. The SAL places an "upper bound" each year on the amount of monies that can be spent from state tax proceeds. The SAL itself grows annually by a population and cost-of-living factor. The California Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 2227, mandates the Department of Finance (DOF) to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction uses their percentage change in population factor in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their annual appropriations limit. Exhibits A through D to the proposed Resolution 2023-XX provide the calculations and data from the DOF website for the 2023-24 appropriations limit. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
The Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2023-24 is $10,640,616. As shown in the attachments, the Estimated Proceeds from Taxes is $7,535,208. Therefore, the City is well below the Appropriations limit.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of the proposed adopted budget for the General Fund budget are revenues of $10,071,600, expenditures of $9,266,699 and transfers out of $2,208,900. The overall budget is balanced based on recurring revenues and recurring expenditures. Special Revenue Funds, Capital Improvement Funds, Community Facility District Funds and the Successor Agency funds are presented in the budget summary with total expenditures of $18,346,354.

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance (Finance) to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2023, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2023-24. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2023-24 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.
Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml.
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2023.
Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Exhibit D
May 2023
Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2023-24 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2023-24 4.44
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2023-24 appropriation limit.
2023-24:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.44 percent
Population Change = -0.35 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 4.44 + 100 = 1.0444 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.35 + 100 = 0.9965
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2023-24: 1.0444 x 0.9965 = 1.0407 Exhibit D

At the City Manager’s discretion, these amounts will be deemed to be rebudgeted as an addition to the budget amounts approved in this resolution so long as these amounts do not cause total expenditures in FY 2022-23 to exceed projected actuals as shown in the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 5

1 VISION STATEMENT
The City of Calimesa is dedicated to remaining a community that honors its beautiful natural setting through open space preservation, wildlife corridors, and extensive trail systems, as well as enriching the quality of life for Calimesa through sensitive planning that creates increased business activity, local jobs, new parks, and schools.
2 VALUES STATEMENT
The City of Calimesa incorporated December of 1990. It has developed its own unique zoning codes and standards and sought to retain its open space characteristics. The City’s General Plan provides for neighborhoods and businesses
that reflect that concept. The City is governed by a fivemember City Council and a form of government small enough to respond to citizen concerns yet experienced enough to maintain the unique Calimesa lifestyle.
3 As a businessman and property owner Bill Davis has spent over 36 years living and working in Calimesa. He has served on the Planning Commission, and four terms on the City Council working hard serving the needs of the Community. He is a CSU graduate with a degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering. With his combined education and experience, he brings a working knowledge of land development, infrastructure improvements, open space preservation and fiscal responsibility.
Jeff Cervantez previously served as a member of the Calimesa Parks, Trails and Community Services Commission and was appointed in 2019 and 2022 as a member of the City Council. He has the desire to help lead the City into the future by thinking carefully about growth and development. As a family man with three school aged children, he is personally invested in Calimesa. He believes that a fresh perspective, new ideas and healthy communication between City Officials and the community will help the City flourish as it moves forward. His experience with local education has always been centered on working with others to solve problems in a respectful, collaborative way, with character and with a good dose of common sense.

“Preserving and enhancing the open space atmosphere and quality of life in Calimesa” June 5, 2023
Honorable Mayor Davis and Members of the City Council:
I am pleased to submit for your consideration the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for the City of Calimesa. This letter provides an introduction and overview of the budget which serves as a tool to communicate the City’s financial strategy and status for the upcoming fiscal year. As you will note throughout the budget document, a great deal of detail is being provided. This approach continues to promote fiscal accountability and transparency; two key elements of the City Council’s leadership philosophy.
The City Council and City Management Team have managed several years of budgets and improvements throughout the City with a disciplined fiscal policy. This includes several years of accumulating increased reserve balances to support the City Council priorities as established in the February 2020 goal setting workshop. This approach and method of fiscal management has served the City well and as a result, the City has a Fiscal Year 2023-24 estimated General Fund reserve of approximately $6.6 million or, as calculated as a ratio, 72% of budgeted expenditures for the year ending June 30, 2024.
The proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24 includes expenditures that meet the City Council priorities from the goal setting workshop as identified below:
1. Quality of Life
2. Economic Development
3. Infrastructure (Internal & External)
4. Community Engagement
5. Financial Stability & Resources
Starting in FY2020-21 and through FY2022-23, the City experienced a significant increase in property and sales tax revenue related to new housing and retail developments. For example, the Marketplace at Calimesa retail center has contributed over $200,000 in new sales tax revenue in calendar year 2022 alone, and a total of $322,000 in 2022. This growth has also led to an increased demand for services, and because of the fiscal discipline shown by this and past City Councils, we are in a solid position to be able to grow as a city to meet that demand. The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget includes significant investments in our community, including over $2.5 million for pavement management, $3.3 million for new park space, as well as new investment in public safety and staffing resources to provide better service to the community.
The General Fund proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24 provides for a balanced budget, including a structural surplus, meaning that ongoing revenues exceed ongoing expenditures. It also includes a transfer of $2.2 million in transfers out to other funds to be used for one-time capital project spending, including $1 million for pavement management, as well as funding of reserves related to vehicle and information technology replacement. As noted earlier, the City Council continues to maintain a strong fiscal policy which results in a 79% total reserve for the year ending June 30, 2024.
The specifics of the FY2023-24 proposed General Fund budget are detailed below:
Ongoing One-time Total
Revenues $ 9,540,600 $ 531,000 $ 10,071,600
Expenditures 8,907,474 359,225 9,266,699
Operating Surplus 633,126 171,775 804,901
Transfers Out 2,208,900 - 2,208,900
Net Change 633,126 (2,037,125) (1,403,999)
Beginning Fund Balance 8,045,355
Ending Fund Balance $ 6,641,356
General Fund Summary
General Fund Revenues
The chart below depicts overall estimated General Fund revenue and, by percentage, each category’s respective share of the overall revenue base.
When compared to the FY2022-23 projected actuals, FY2023-24 revenues will be lower by about $2.1 million. However, the primary reason for this difference is due to several significant one-time revenues received in FY2022-23, including Development Agreement Fees ($1.7 million), Recycle Deposit ($392,000) and additional plan check fee activity ($278,000). Several recurring revenue categories are expected to increase, including property taxes ($83,000) and Public Services CFD contributions ($125,000).
General Fund Expenditures
The chart below depicts overall proposed General Fund expenditures and each department’s respective share of the overall expenditure base.
Expenditures are projected to decrease by approximately $2.7 million in FY2023-24 compared to FY2022-23. This decrease is primarily due to one-time expenditures incurred in FY2022-23, including a transfer out for pavement management ($1 million) and the purchase of a new ladder truck ($2.2 million). Significant one-time expenditures included in the FY2023-24 budget are additional fire prevention and building and safety services related to expected development activity ($234,725) and the purchase of new turnouts for the Fire Department ($80,000). New recurring expenditures in FY2023-24 include a 5% citywide, with the exception of the City Manager, cost-of-living adjustment ($125,000), an increase in the City’s cafeteria plan benefit contributions ($11,000), range adjustments for two existing positions ($11,288), additional staff, including a new Senior Accountant, Planning Technician, Battalion Chief, and three Apparatus Engineers ($368,679), and eight new Flock cameras for the Police Department ($24,000).
Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan
The proposed budget continues to make much needed investments in our infrastructure, both in the rehabilitation of existing infrastructure as well as building new infrastructure.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies 21 projects proposed over the five-year planning period. For the upcoming fiscal year, there are 10 new projects and continued investment in 11 previously approved projects. With these proposed projects, the City Council will be investing $13.4 million in the upcoming fiscal year and $94.7 million over the five-year CIP. As in years past, funding for the CIP comes from a variety of sources, including Measure A, American Rescue Plan Act funds, SB1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation, development impact fees, developer contributions, Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee funds, and state and federal grants. Additionally, the City’s General Fund will contribute $1.5 million for capital projects in FY2023-24. The following are highlights of the FY2023-24 CIP:
• New Library
• Phase 2 of 4th Street Community Park
• Cherry Valley Interchange
• Singleton Road Phase 1 Improvements
• Sandalwood Interchange
• County Line Road and Calimesa Boulevard Intersection Improvements • Calimesa Creek and Storm Drain Improvements
• Commitment of $2.5 million toward the City’s Pavement Management Program Reserves
Based on the proposed budget, total reserves, including Capital Projects, Vehicle Replacement, and Information Technology funds, at June 30, 2024 are projected to be $7,289,290, or 79% of total General Fund expenditures and 82% of General Fund recurring expenditures. The reserves consist of the following:
Reserve
Projected
Balance at
6/30/2024
General Fund Contingency Reserve (35% of General Fund Expenditures) $ 3,243,344 General Fund Parks and Trails 75,000
General Fund Unreserved Fund Balance 3,323,011
Capital Projects Fund Balance (Fund 16) 57,935
Vehicle Replacement Fund Balance (Fund 75) 435,000
Information Technology Reserve Fund Balance (Fund 76) 155,000 TOTAL RESERVES $ 7,289,290
Included in the reserves is a new reserve dedicated to parks and trails. This set-aside expresses the City Council’s commitment to investing in the community to provide spaces for residents to enjoy Calimesa’s natural beauty.
Looking Forward
Although growth has slowed down for the time being as entitled projects work to gear up for future development, the City always has an eye on the future and what those new developments will bring. Currently, there are approved entitlements for over 7,000 new residential units throughout the City, in addition to approved retail and commercial development. The proposed budget takes steps to keep up with recent growth and will set the City up to take on the new growth that is to come. While speculation of an economic recession has not come to fruition at this point, the City's budget, with its healthy surplus and reserves, will help the City weather economic challenges without significant impacts to City services. This has been accomplished in large part due to the City Council's fiscal discipline and focus on living within its recurring revenue.
Acknowledgements
Undoubtedly, the preparation of this budget would not be possible without the dedication and commitment of the City's leadership team. To each of them, I extend my thanks and appreciation for their hard work, dedication, and "can do" approach as we developed this budget. Special thanks also go to our Finance Director, Celeste Reid, who worked tirelessly to prepare all the schedules in this document and kept us on track to deliver the budget on time. My thanks also go out to Alannah Figueroa, our multi-talented Accounting Technician, who did the design work for this document which, in my humble opinion, turned out amazing. I continue to be impressed every day by Team Calimesa.
I would also like to extend a special "thank you" to the members of the Finance Committee, consisting of Mayor Bill Davis and Councilmember Jeff Cervantez. Their input, support, and guidance were invaluable during the budget preparation process.
Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to all the members of the City Council for your confidence in, and unwavering support of, the City team as well as your policy direction in this budget process. This document reflects the direction and suggestions you offered, as well as the sincere compassion you have for this community.
Sincerely,
