City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 25-26 Budget
Exhibit A
non-residential new construction as a percentage of the total taxable value increase (as of the FY 24-25 lien year roll date). This percentage may be used as an alternative to the change in California per-capita personal income for calculating a taxing agency’s annual adjustment of its Appropriation Limit pursuant to Article XIIIB of the State Constitution as Amended by Proposition 111 in June 1990.
The Fiscal Year 25-26 appropriations of $17,572,370 are the portion that is funded from proceeds of taxes and is subject to the limit. This amount is $166,777,762 or 90% under the appropriation limit.
Attached to this report is a summary of the calculation formula. Detailed worksheets are available for review.
It is not unusual for cities to be significantly under the appropriations limit since the State law was amended in 1990 to allow for more flexible annual adjustments to the limit calculations.
FISCAL IMPACT: None, since the Appropriations Limit is higher than the Appropriations subject to Limit.

City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget
June 24, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
We are pleased to present the City of Calistoga’s Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget.
The budget is based around the City Council Priorities and allows staff to continue providing all services at the same or increased services levels, while remaining balanced and meeting the City Council’s 50% reserve policy. The operating expenditure for the General Fund in the proposed budget is approximately $21.9 million. The General Fund reserve fund balance reported at the beginning of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 is approximately $10.7 million. Budget highlights for the full budget are summarized below, followed by more detailed budget sheets.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
The General Fund revenues and appropriations are illustrated in three categories:
General Operating Fund: This fund covers the ongoing resources necessary to provide daily services to citizens and businesses. The revenues in this category include general revenues, such as property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, user fees, as well as miscellaneous revenues. Capital Revenues: This accounts for revenues transferred or designated for capital improvement projects. The revenues in this category are other funding sources, grants, voter-approved measures, and donations. Council Priorities: This accounts for revenues from one-time sources, including unrestricted fund balance above 50% reserves.
Below are the highlights of the General Fund Revenues:
I. Operating Revenues: The four revenue categories—property taxes, vehicle license fees, sales taxes, and transient occupancy taxes—accounted for approximately eightytwo percent (82%) of the total General Fund revenue of $21.9 million. Each major revenue source is described below:
The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is projected to reach $11.9 million, reflecting an increase of approximately $52,560 (0.44%) over the FY 2024-25 revised budget, making it the largest source of General Fund Revenue at 54.6%.
Room rates and occupancy levels influence this revenue. It's important to note that part of the revenue increase can be attributed to the 400 Silverado, which has been fully operational since Fiscal Year 2022-23.
Property tax is the second largest source of General Fund revenue and is projected to be $3.4 million, reflecting an increase of $92,639, or 2.6%, from FY 2024-25 estimates. The estimated rise in property tax revenues can be attributed to the annual increase in assessed values.
Item #6.8.
City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget
Sales Tax is projected to generate $1.5 million in revenue, reflecting an increase of $42,271 (2.8%) over the current fiscal year. As the third largest source of General Fund revenue, sales tax collections continue to be influenced by trends in online shopping, with modest gains expected through countywide tax pool allocations.
Property Tax In Lieu Of Motor Vehicle License Fees is the fourth largest source of General Fund revenue, expected to reach $1.1 million—an increase of $82,000 from FY 2024-25 estimates. The projected growth in motor vehicle license fees results from an increase in the general assessed valuation of property values in the City of Calistoga. PLEASE NOTE THIS SOURCE OF FUNDING IS IN JEOPARDY. Future city budgets will be significantly affected should this revenue not continue. State intervention is required, and dedicated efforts are underway, trying to protect this revenue source.
The chart below illustrates the General Fund revenue sources.
Chart 1
II. Capital Revenues: The capital revenue categories included in the proposed budget are grants, contributions, and transfers from voter-approved measures at the regional or state levels.
Other funding sources and grants: The City of Calistoga team has been continually active and successful in obtaining funds from federal, state, and other partners to fund key strategic projects. The budget for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 includes the following project reimbursements from outside sources totaling $2.25 million:
Item #6.8.
City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget
Table 1
Capital Improvement
Project
Funding Source Amount
Pavement Maintenance Measure T $700,000
Pavement Maintenance SB1 $135,000
Fairway Path (Vine Trail) Transportation DIF $361,000
South Oak Bridge Transit Development Act Grant $150,000 Brannan Street Crosswalks Transit Development Act Grant $150,000 Total $1,496,000
Transfers In/Other Financing Sources: Voter-approved measures at the county and state levels and Federal funding provide funding sources that are usually recorded in a separate fund for accounting purposes; however, funds are transferred to General Capital when adequate funds are accumulated to complete the large improvement projects.
Measure T: The City of Calistoga's share of a voter-approved measure funds specific capital infrastructure projects from the revenues it collects.
As part of Napa County, the City of Calistoga passed a county-wide measure to support funding for local street and road improvements. The City collects funds for Measure T (Fund 24) and transfers these funds to the General Capital Improvement Fund to finance the Pavement Maintenance projects. The budget allocates $700,000 from the Measure T funds for the Pavement Maintenance Project.
Transportation: The Transportation Development Impact fee is imposed on new development to mitigate the effects of this development on transportation infrastructure, including roadways, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. The effects are measured by either the number of units or square footage, depending on the type of development. A transfer of $361,000 from the Transportation Fund (Fund 57) is included in the budget for the Pavement Maintenance Project.
State Gas Tax Fund and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) Fund: State Gas Tax and RMRA tax revenues provide funding to local governments, counties, and the State of California to repair and rehabilitate roads, bridges, and other public infrastructure. The City of Calistoga receives these revenues from the State on an ongoing basis and deposits them into its own account for accounting purposes. The proposed budget for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 includes a contribution of $135,000 from the SB-1, RMRA Fund (Fund 22) for the Pavement Maintenance project in the General Capital Improvement Fund.
II. Council Priorities: The City Council has taken action to establish a funding mechanism for essential infrastructure and human capital needs within the City. This fund, known as the City Council’s infrastructure fund, encompasses general types of projects as approved by the Council. The two primary revenue sources for this fund are a portion of unrestricted surpluses from the General Fund and one-time revenues that the Council may opt to add. The proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 allocates $235,000 to this fund.
Item #6.8.
City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget
As the City plans to allocate fiscal resources for the future, the City Council has emphasized that deferred maintenance and public infrastructure remain key priorities. This budget includes ongoing spending on capital infrastructure, such as roads, water systems, and wastewater repairs to replace aging utilities that have exceeded their useful life. To achieve this, the city employs realistic and conservative projections for both revenues and expenditures. The budgets for Water, Wastewater, Capital Improvement Projects, and Special Funds are also included in this document.
GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES (APPROPRIATIONS)
The General Fund expenditures/appropriations are illustrated in these categories:
I. General Operating Fund: This accounts for the ongoing allocation of resources needed to deliver the day-to-day service to the citizens and businesses. The expenditures in this category are the services that the City provides from the “General” revenues. Examples of these revenue sources include police and public protection, fire suppression, planning and building services, culture and recreation, parks and road rehabilitation, the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce, and other non-profit agencies or community groups. The expenditures for the General Fund are detailed later in this document. The chart below illustrates the allocation of the General Fund Resources by functional areas:
Chart 2
II. Capital Expenditures: This section details the capital improvement expenditures outlined in the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The capital improvement budget encompasses the total project cost, which includes initial scoping, design, and construction expenses; however, the actual expenditures occur over multiple years.
The capital expenditures proposed for Fiscal Year 2025-26 from the General Capital Projects accounts are listed in Table 2 below.

The proposed budget for total operating revenues in the Water Operating Fund for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 is $6.6 million.
Operating expenditures are expected to rise from the current fiscal year in the Water Treatment category. The proposed operating budget for FY 2025-26 is $4.6 million. This proposed budget reflects a small increase compared to Fiscal Year 2024-25. The rise in the Water Treatment division is attributed to the following adjustments:
Water Conservation Program budget still includes approximately $6,500 to continue with the programs in place to help residents reduce water use. Increase in field equipment of $75,000 for the replacement of the radio-read dead meters.
Water Capital Improvement Fund
The Water Capital Improvement Fund is projected to conclude the Fiscal Year 2024-25 with a working capital balance of $3.4 million. The Water Operations Fund will allocate $782,000 for Water Capital Projects. The City anticipates total grant revenues of $1,438,174 for the water capital improvement projects.

BUDGET PROCESS
The City of Calistoga normally creates a budget for a one-year fiscal period, which begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th. A local government budget is a plan to match existing resources with the needs of the community. The functions of local government stem from three levels of policy direction; federal, state, and local. Local government has the responsibility to provide basic public services such as maintaining streets and roadways, providing traffic management systems, maintaining parks, providing community services, and ensuring public safety.
INTRODUCTION
Item #6.8.
City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget
The budget and this document are the collaboration in which the community through its elected leaders, commission members, public hearings and the advice of City staff decide upon the services it shall receive from its government under the constraint of resources available to it through taxes, fees, and transfers from the federal, state, and county governments. This document reflects the priorities of residents in the community while balancing revenues and expenditures over the long term.
The finance department, a division of the City Manager’s office, is responsible for coordinating all revenue estimates contained in the budget. Estimates are reached by analyzing revenue history, national and local economic trends, development patterns in the local economy, and projections by outside consultants. Revenue projections used in the annual budget are based on conservative assumptions to ensure the City has adequate financial resources to meet the obligations and complete all programs approved by the City Council within the course of the fiscal year. The Finance Department also coordinates the development of all expenditure budgets with respective departments, publishes the Budget books and prepares the staff reports.
The budget process starts in February based on the Council strategic goals and vision set forth for the year. The city manager and department directors discuss the priorities of the Council, the mandatory cost increases from labor agreements or regulatory agencies, the capital improvement needs, and the organizational adjustments needed for the new budget year. Department directors prepare their budgets and are then submitted to the Finance Director. Concurrently, the Finance Department projects revenues for the same period and develops a budget based on the authorized full-time equivalent positions.
Department meetings are then held with the City Manager and budgets are reviewed and adjustments are made to keep the budget in balance.
The proposed budgets are then submitted to the City Council and community for review and input. Based on feedback, the City Council passes a resolution at a June Council Meeting adopting a budget which reflects estimated revenues and appropriations of monies to be spent, which in turn gives each of the City’s departments the authority to spend money based on the adopted budget.
After the adoption of the budget, throughout the year reviews of the budget are periodically undertaken. Mid-year review in which revenues and expenditures are adjusted as necessary and presented to the City Council.
Enterprise Funds
The Enterprise Funds consist of Water and Wastewater. The water enterprise consists of distribution and treatment programs. The water distribution program maintains 40.5 miles of water mains, responds to water leaks, after-hours service calls, reads over 2,600 water meters every month for billing purposes, flushes, inspects, provides water quality and pressure testing of the system. The water treatment program operates and maintains Item #6.8.

Revenue and Resource Estimates

Introduction
The City utilizes several techniques to forecast recurring revenues. These techniques allow for multiple variables to be considered in the development of forecasts, including institutional forecasts; the expert opinion of the City’s sales and property tax consultant HdL Coren & Cone; various national, state, and local economic indicators; and established formulas that measure relationships between revenue categories and growth within the City.
The financial forecast is a planning tool to assist staff in identifying important trends and anticipating the longer-term consequences of budget decisions. The ability to model cost and revenue trends beyond the next budget year helps the city to make initiative-taking budget decisions early in an economic cycle.
The forecast is not a plan, but a model based on cost and revenue assumptions which are updated regularly as added information becomes available. Future cost projections based on known costs are dependable. Revenue forecasts, on the other hand, are based on assumptions related to future economic conditions which come with uncertainty.
City staff use a variety of tools, including trend analysis, judgmental forecasting, and expert opinion. Trend data includes historical fiscal performance and historical and projected data modified for known past, current and the future. In the end, forecasts are based on judgment that incorporates information provided through various methods; known and potential legislative and political impacts; and national, state, and local conditions expected to affect local revenue sources.
The City’s total General Fund revenues for FY 2025-26 are projected to increase. The increase is approximately $1,050,052. The change is due to a combination of increases and decreases in revenues. Property tax and sales taxes are projected to increase by a total of $506,658 while transient occupancy taxes are projected to increase by $52,560.
Another increase of $538,636 in Police Service Charges because of the signed agreement with City of St. Helena for dispatch services. A transfer for $438,366 to General Fund from Fire Development Impact Fees. Decreases in Building Permits of $124,601 and in fire reimbursement in the amount of $315,000 for other services.

Revenue and Resource Estimates
Transient Occupancy Tax
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a 12% tax applied to the cost of lodging stays. Factors influencing TOT revenues include business and leisure travel, local business activity and room rate increases. Transient taxes are the largest revenue for the General Fund and make up 54.7% of all projected General Fund resources FY 2025-26.
Transient Occupancy Tax in prior years has been increasing over the years. The city has experienced a growth in the TOT revenues since the Fiscal Year 2021-22. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget includes minimal growth.
Additional funding comes from a 2% voluntary assessment of lodging revenues. Of the 2% the County wide marketing program, Visit Napa Valley, receives 74% of revenues while the local Tourism Improvement District, TID, receives 25% and the City receives the remaining 1% for administration.
The FY 2025-26 Budget projects increase in transient occupancy tax for the City of Calistoga. The city is projecting an increase of approximately $52,560 or .4% in transient occupancy tax which translates to $11,970,906. The table below illustrates the TOT taxes for the current year and prior six years.
Item #6.8.
City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 25-26 Budget
Revenue and Resource Estimates
Property Tax
Property tax is an ad valorem tax imposed on real property, such as land, buildings, and tangible personal property. Property tax revenue is collected by the County and allocated according to state law among cities, counties, school districts and special districts.
Calistoga property owners pay a basic tax equal to 1% of the assessed value on real property. Property tax accounts for 15.4% of all General Fund resources projected next year.
The City works with a property tax consultant in projecting property tax revenue, an estimate made with five factors in mind: property turnover rate, pricing and appeals exposure, new construction activity, Proposition 8 administrative reductions and Proposition 13’s annual inflation adjustment. Total property taxes are budgeted to increase in the Fiscal Year 2025-26. The increase in property tax revenues can be attributable to a combination of factors including the 10% increase in improvements to non-residential new construction. The total property taxes included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget are $3,449,628. The table below illustrates the property taxes for the current year and prior six years.
Item #6.8.
City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 25-26 Budget
Revenue and Resource Estimates
Sales Tax
California sales tax is imposed on the total retail price of any tangible individual property (excluding a variety of state mandated exemptions), while use tax is imposed on the purchaser for eligible transactions when sales tax has not been collected. The sales and use tax rate in Napa County are currently 7.75% of which Calistoga receives 1% from the California Board of Equalization for transactions occurring within the City. Sales tax makes up 6.7% of next year’s overall General Fund resources.
The City works closely with the sales tax consultant, HDL, Coren & Cone, in projecting sales tax revenue. Based on HdL’s analysis of the trend in year-to-date tax receipts and an examination of local business data, the consultant anticipates the city will receive sales tax revenue of $1.5 million in the Fiscal Year 2024-25. For FY 2025-26 revenues are anticipated to increase by $42,271 or 1.7% when compared to the current FY 2024-26.
The primary reason for the increase is due to a shift in the sales tax revenue allocation from the Countywide pool. The total sales taxes included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget are $1,502,382. The table below illustrates the property taxes for the current year and prior six years.
Item #6.8.

Other Taxes
As part of the State Budget Act of 2004, the legislature reduced motor vehicle license fee (VLF) revenue allocations to cities, replacing this funding with additional property tax allocations that change proportionately with the City’s annual assessed valuation (property tax in-lieu of VLF revenue).
Beginning in FY 2018-19 VLF revenues are projected in funds from other agencies thereby reducing the amount of property tax in the graph below. The City receives approximately 20¢ of every dollar collected with larger shares going to local schools, community colleges and Napa County.
For FY 2025-26 revenues are anticipated to increase by $81,590 or 7.9% when compared to the current FY 2024-25. The primary reason for the increase is due to an increase in the assessed valuation used to calculate the VLF fees. The total VLF fees included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget are $1,108,632. The table below illustrates the property taxes for the current year and prior eight years.

The Police Department receives additional funding from a few other grants and other funding sources:
Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) provides an estimated $100,000 of state grant funds for “front-line” law enforcement services and equipment. The COPS grant funds “must supplement existing services and may not be used to supplant any existing funding for law enforcement services” and are used to address operational needs of the police department such as equipment, vehicles, and programs such as the Juvenile Diversion Program. There is no matching fund requirement for this grant.
The Gang Violence Suppression Grant administered by the Napa County DA’s Office provides $8,484. This money is used to fund programs that provide services for at risk youth. There is no matching funds requirement for this grant. These funds are also used to fund the Juvenile Diversion program.
Felgenhauer Trust is an endowment set up to enhance police services by purchasing nonbudgeted goods or services which otherwise burden City finances. The trust is managed by the Police Officer Association. The Trust also funds the Annual Felgenhauer $1,000 college scholarship grant for a Calistoga High School senior.
Napa Investigation Service Bureau (NSIB) is a county task force that is supported by the city by contributing approximately $64,058 towards the full-time administrative position that supports the task force. The City benefits by sharing in recovered asset forfeiture funds (9% of funds seized), access to the task force for training/presentations to the department & community, and investigative assistance.

Public Works
Administration, Streets, Parks, and Buildings
The Mission of the Public Works Department is to provide the necessary infrastructure to maintain the quality of life expected by residents and visitors and improve the economic viability of the community. The Department is responsible for maintaining the streets, water treatment, water distribution, wastewater collection, wastewater treatment, recycled water, storm drains, parks, City-owned streetlights, buildings, and Pioneer Cemetery. The Department also serves as the coordination role for solid waste collection and public transit services. The Department provides Engineering services for capital improvement projects, entitlement approval, development plan review, water resources allocations and flood control.
Public Works Administration
Public Works Administration consists of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, two Administrative Services Technicians, a Senior Civil Engineer, Associate Civil Engineer, a Maintenance Superintendent, and a Utility Systems Superintendent.
This division is responsible for overall administration of all aspects of the Department including permitting, customer service, payment of invoices, budget administration, and program management.
Primary activities include fulfillment of Council goals, responding to service requests and citizen inquiries, development, and management of capital improvement projects, pursuing and administering grants, reviewing plans for private developments, administering the backflow prevention program, water conservation and public education, and issuing permits for encroachments, oversize transportation, and tree work. The goal of Public Works Administration is to provide technical and administrative support needed by the Divisions within Public Works and other city departments.
Streets
The Street Division maintains 31 lane miles of streets, three city street vehicle bridges, four bridges that serve the vine trail and recycle ponds, two traffic signals, signs, and striping in the public street right-of-way. The Street Division, with assistance from the Utility Division, maintains, manages, and oversees the operation and permit compliance for the storm drain system.
The 2022 Pavement Management Program rated the City streets with an overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 60 out of 100, putting City streets in “Fair” category. Typical funding levels of around $1 million per year over five years, a total projected investment of $5 million, anticipates a PCI increase of about seven points, to 67 by 2026. The city council has dedicated about five million dollars, over the last three years and we anticipate a slightly higher PCI than 67 in 2026.

Public Works
Streets (cont.), Parks, and Building Maintenance
The goal of the streets program is to maintain the City’s streets, sidewalks and bridges in a manner that protects public safety within budgetary allocations.
Services include street sweeping, street sign maintenance and replacement, striping, maintenance of City owned streetlights, pothole repair, sidewalk repair, ramp replacements, drainage ditch clearing, traffic signal maintenance, catch basin cleaning, weed abatement and downtown sidewalk cleaning. Code enforcement of street encroachments, storm drainage discharge, and sidewalk repairs are also included in this program. Asphalt overlays, seal coats and other capital pavement treatments are identified as Capital Improvement Projects elsewhere in the budget.
Parks
The goal of the parks program is to continue to maintain and improve the city parks, bike lanes and City-owned landscape to provide safe and pleasant places to play and work in the city. The Parks Division maintains the seven City parks (Logvy, Pioneer, Fireman’s, Heather Oaks, Tedeschi, Avila, and Chesterman), bike paths and three pedestrian/bicycle bridges, public restrooms, public parking lots, and trash receptacles. This Division implements City beautification projects, installs memorial benches, and maintains landscaping at all City-owned buildings.
Public Works also provides general maintenance of the pool facility that includes repairs to plumbing, abatement of vandalism, furnishings, pest management, and landscaping. Since April 2012, the city has contracted pool service to Diamond Quality Pools to maintain the water quality at the pool facility, including pumps, chemicals, filters, boilers, and dosing equipment.
Building Maintenance
The goal of the Building Maintenance program is to provide a safe and pleasant environment for employees and the public utilizing our facilities and includes vehicle fleet maintenance.

This includes City Hall, Sharpsteen Museum, Community Center, Police and Fire Stations, Public Works, Water and Wastewater buildings, Logvy Community Pool building, the Monhoff Recreation Center, the recreational modular building, and three public restroom structures (Logvy, Pioneer Park and Lower Washington). Janitorial services for the Police Department, City Hall, the Community Pool, and the Community Center are contracted out, while the remaining buildings and public restrooms in the parks are cleaned by staff. Fleet maintenance is provided through contracted services.

Oversight and management of the fairgrounds is coordinated by the Fairgrounds Revitalization Director with support from Parks and Recreation and community volunteers.
In addition to its role in community events and emergency readiness, the fairgrounds serve a critical infrastructure function as the City’s primary site for reclaimed wastewater distribution. As the number one purveyor of reclaimed water expenditure for Calistoga, the site is essential for supporting wastewater management and meeting ongoing municipal needs during periods of resource constraint.
Facility Use and Rentals
The Fairgrounds Department manages and promotes the use of the Tubbs Building, Tucker Building, and surrounding grounds for short-term rentals, long-term leases, and public benefit. The fairgrounds hosted a growing number of community events this fiscal year, both free and ticketed, and are becoming a consistent site for meetings, private functions, and training sessions.
Community Engagement and Events
The Fairgrounds Department supports public gatherings and community access through city-sponsored and third-party events. These include celebrations, public forums, preparedness events, and coordination with local nonprofit partners. The grounds are maintained as a flexible-use site with capacity for both large-scale events and regular small-group activity.
Calistoga Fairgrounds Ag Day
Calistoga Fairgrounds Ag Day is an agricultural fair that celebrates local food systems, farming heritage, and agricultural education. It includes farm equipment exhibits, and educational programming that connects residents to the agricultural roots of the region. This event is a critical component in maintaining the site’s status as a state-designated fairgrounds California Network of Fairs (Network), consisting of 52 district agricultural associations (DAAs), 22 county/city fairs, two citrus fruit fairs, and the California Exposition and State Fair (Cal Expo).
Emergency Preparedness and Training
The Calistoga Fairground serves as a regional site for emergency training, staging, and resiliency planning. Partners including Calistoga Fire, Calistoga Police, Cal Fire, CHP, Napa County OES, Calistoga Emergency Response team, and other agencies use the fairgrounds to maintain local readiness in the face of wildfire, weather, and other hazards.

Water Distribution
The goal of the water distribution division is to maintain the City’s water system in compliance with Calistoga’s drinking water permit, issued by the State Water Board’s Division of Drinking Water. Staff continuously monitor samples, tests and reports (e.g., daily/weekly/quarterly) the drinking water quality in the supply and distribution system to ensure that high quality drinking water, compliant with Water Board standards, is delivered to Calistoga water customers.
The Water Distribution Division maintains over 40 miles of water mains, 752 valves and 184 fire hydrants. The water system has a total of four storage tanks:
Mt. Washington (1.5MG), Feige Canyon (1MG), High Street (20k), and Kimball clearwell (100k). The Division responds to water leaks and after-hours service calls, reads over 1,650 water meters every month for billing purposes, flushes, inspects, and tests the system for water quality and pressure parameters. The Division proactively maintains valves, meters, and hydrants to help prevent unexpected interruptions in the water distribution system, to ensure the availability of water for fire suppression, and to maintain minimum service pressures in the system. Staff participate in on-going education for certification in water distribution through the State Water Board’s Division of Drinking Water.
Water Treatment & Operations
The goal of the water treatment and operations division is to provide continuous, safe, potable water to the City’s residents, businesses, and visitors from Calistoga. The city has two sources of water supply: one treated locally by the City of Calistoga and the other treated by the City of Napa Water Division.
Calistoga’s facility is Kimball Water Treatment Plant (WTP) that provides about 25% of the cities drinking water while the remaining 75% is treated by the City of Napa Water Division and delivered to Calistoga.
Kimball Water Treatment Plant supply comes from Kimball Dam and Reservoir that has a storage of 267 acre-feet (AF) and up to 328AF when four additional flashboards can be install by permit. Kimball Water Treatment Plant can treat up to 360,000 gallons per day and supplies water to the distribution system.
The City of Napa treats Calistoga’s drinking water supply from the State Water Project source, or the local Hennessey Water Supply. The water is delivered from Napa to Calistoga by a metered connection just south of the intersection of Silverado Trail and Hwy 128, near the Lake Hennessey intersection. At this point Calistoga owns an 11-mile-long transmission main, which is often referred to as the North Bay Aqueduct (NBA) water main that delivers water to Calistoga’s Duanweal Water booster pump station where it is pumped into the water distribution system. There is an additional pump station near Pope Street that is Item #6.8.

Wastewater Collection
The goal of the Wastewater Collection division is to maintain the sewer system to minimize disruption of service or inconvenience to the City’s residents. The Wastewater Collection Division maintains about 19 miles of sewer mains, 321 manholes, 4 lift stations, and about six miles of recycled water mains with two booster stations. City staff efforts include making repairs, regular routine line cleaning (sewer hydro), responding to sewer main back-ups and pump failures, and installing and repairing mains. Regular weekly inspections and testing of the standby power generator are completed for the sewer lift stations to ensure they work properly. City staff also periodically inspect private grease interceptors to ensure proper maintenance by the property owner to reduce grease blockage of the public main sewer lines.
Wastewater Treatment & Operations
The goal of the Wastewater Treatment Division is to treat the City’s wastewater in the most environmentally safe and cost-effective manner, to provide compliance with our NPDES and recycle water permits, and to keep the City’s residences, businesses functional. The Wastewater Treatment Division operates and maintains the Calistoga Wastewater Treatment Facility and disposal system at 1100 Dunaweal Lane. The City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant is permitted to treat a maximum daily dry weather flow of 840,000 gallons of sewage per day and more than 4.0 million gallons per day (mgd) during peak wet weather flow under an NPDES permit issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Current dry weather flows are approximately 380,000 gallons per day and peak near 5 mgd. There is about 48 million gallons of tertiary treated effluent storage available. The Treatment Facility provides tertiary treatment and filtration of the City’s sewage so that it can be beneficially reused as recycled water for irrigation or discharged to the Napa River when river flows are high enough. Typically, we recycle and distribute about 40% to 70% of the influent to the plant for irrigation including the spray field.
New rates were adopted by City Council on December 5, 2023, and were implemented on March 1, 2024, with additional planned annual rate adjustments between 2025 and 2028. The new rates include anticipated O&M increases as well as necessary capital that is forecast to be completed by 2028.
Wastewater Capital
A significant level of effort and investment continues to be directed towards compliance with the Cease-and-Desist Order (CDO) issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The last remaining significant project is anticipated to complete construction this FY25/26 for the riverside pond project. A big Item #6.8.

City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 25-26 Budget
Budget
The Special Revenue Funds for the FY 25-26 budget are separate funds which segregate revenues and expenditures restricted for specific purposes - such as a specific grant program, restrictions by City Council ordinances, special property assessments, or just the need for separate budgeting and accounting of revenues for a specific purpose.
Many of the Special Revenue funds relate to grant programs or specific capital projects and, as such, the projected budgets may vary depending on the timing of the grant program funding or the capital project schedule. These funds also include revenues from development impact fees charged to new or expanded development in the City. The projections of these revenues are also dependent on the pace of private development. The Development projection over the next year is challenging and the estimated revenues from various funds are based on known developments that are under development agreements and are projected to develop within the next year. Staff will continue to monitor these developments and recommend any needed adjustments to the Special Revenue Funds budgets.
The City maintains 28 special revenue funds. This includes a Debt Service fund and Equipment Internal Services Fund, which are technically classified as diverse types of accounting funds but are shown as a Special Revenue fund for budgeting purposes.
The following pages provide a summary and discussion of each of the Special Revenue funds.
Gas Tax
The revenues are taxes from fuel sales and are generally allocated to the City based on population. Also included in this fund are special street-related grants from Proposition 42 funds for Traffic Congestion Relief and Proposition 1b Infrastructure Bonds. These funds are restricted to street-related maintenance, safety, and improvements. The funds are used to pay for the streetlights and partially fund the street maintenance operations and improvements. The Gas Tax funding sources are inadequate to fund the needed street maintenance and improvements of the City and substantial General Fund sources are needed to keep the streets in decent shape and ensure public safety.

Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Fund (RMRA)
The State of California imposes per-gallon excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, sales taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel and registration taxes on motor vehicles with allocations dedicated to transportation purposes. Other transportation taxes are allocated to cities and counties through the RMRA which allocates revenue from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 to local streets and roads and other transportation uses. The funds are allocated among cities on a per capita basis. Revenues are to be used for road maintenance and rehabilitation, safety projects, traffic control devices, drainage, and stormwater capture projects. RMRA may also be used to satisfy a match requirement to obtain state or federal funds for eligible projects.
Measure T Fund
Measure T funding is to be used for maintenance, reconstruction, and/or rehabilitation of streets, roads, and transportation infrastructure within the public right-of-way including but not limited to sidewalks, curb and gutters, curb ramps, lighting, traffic sign age, striping, and local roadway drainage. The Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) is the countywide sponsor of Measure T.

The assessments were initially set by the developer and are reaffirmed every year by a public hearing before the City Council.

The remaining repayment of the loans will be deposited into the Reuse of Program Income Fund. The funds remaining in the Community Development tu nd will be used in conjunction with the City's Affordable Housing funds and with non-profit organizations, such as Calistoga Affordable Housing (CAH), Housing Authority of the City of Napa (HACN) and Napa Valley Fair Housing (NVFH), to leverage funding of low-income housing projects and monitor programs. This fund is overseen by the Planning and Building, and Public Works Departments.
Police Grants
Over the years, the Police Department has received several operational and special grants. This fund currently accounts for the State COPS, Napa County Gang, and other grants. This fund is overseen by the Police Department.

Equipment Replacement
This fund is to account for all operating and maintenance costs related to the City's computer network, workstation system, maintenance of vehicles, as well as fixed and maintenance costs related to information technology that benefit all other City funds and programs. The costs associated with this fund are equitably allocated to the departments who utilize such equipment, vehicles or are the beneficiaries of contractual services that support these systems.
City staff is recommending the replacement of computers, annual software subscriptions, general government purpose public works vehicle and equipment, parks, and recreation software. The proposed budget includes $25,000 for server replacement, $35,000 computer replacements and 23,500 for phase II of Microsoft team phone replacements.
This fund will have an approximate fund balance of $700,000 at the beginning of fiscal year 2025-26 for anticipated expenditures, replacement of vehicles and reserves. The amount of $207,500 is obligated for the implementation of the new ERP system. A new fund was created to separate Information Technology from Equipment Replacement fund to track agreements and expenditures with accuracy.

Accounting System - The financial records and procedures that identify, record, classify, summarize, and report information on the financial transactions, position and accountability for assets and liabilities of the city government.
Adopted Multi-year Budget – A document of budget detail that is adopted by the City Council every two years and updated annually. It contains information on revenue estimates, positions, descriptions of the city services and appropriations for city services and improvement projects approved by the City Council.
Allocated Costs - An expense charged by one department/division to another for services performed or expenditures of a general nature, which are charged to one main account and allocated to other departments/divisions by a specified formula.
Appropriation - An authorization to spend made by resolution of the City Council, which permits the City to incur obligations and spend funds as approved in the adopted multiyear budget. Appropriations are made at a Department or Capital Project level.
Appropriation Limit - State law (Proposition 4, 1979 and Proposition 111, 1990 added and amended Article XIII-B of the State Constitution) requires the City to set an appropriation limit for each fiscal year, that is, how much the City can spend from certain revenues. The limit is based on appropriations only from proceeds of taxes, as defined by the law, with certain exclusions. Guidelines were developed to define and implement the changes and establish the annual audit requirements. The limit amount can be increased each year by a formula that uses a combination of percent changes in Statewide Per Capita Income (PCI), City or County Population and Non-residential assessed valuation. The appropriation limit and annual growth factors used to calculate the limit is set by resolution when the annual budget is adopted. The appropriation limit can only be set one year at a time due to the annual State generated factors needed to set the limit.
Assessed Valuation – An annual value of real or personal property established by the County Assessor each January 1st, which is used to generate property taxes from the property tax rates. The property values were established by State Law in 1978 (Proposition 13) and can be adjusted by the County Assessor by either the Statewide Per Capita Income (PCI), the maximum annual increase of 2%, actual sales price, improvements and/or other adjustments allowed by State law.

This includes a statewide base rate of 1% of assessed valuation, which is allocated among the various local agencies – County, City, School District and Special Districts. Also includes additional rates, generally adopted by the voters in the applicable agencies after 1978, for debt service or other services. The City receives an estimated .15% portion of the 1% in basic property taxes paid by property owners.
Property Tax Revenue Allocation - The allocation of the 1% base rate to the County, City, School District and Special Districts on a complex formula determined by state law and known as the ‘AB 8 formula’. This formula allocates annual property tax revenues in generally the same percentage as local agencies received in 1978 prior to the adoption of Proposition 13, Tax Reform Act. However, over the years, additional voter approved propositions and the State legislature have adjusted the formula. The last adjustment, Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF) shifted an estimated 33% of the property tax from Cities, Counties and Special Districts to School Districts.
The revenue is recorded in the General fund to fund general municipal services.
Propositions – The State Constitution provides for an initiative process through ballot propositions to allow the voters to directly establish constitutional amendments and laws. Over the years, many propositions have been approved that affect the revenues and authority of the City. Below are summaries of some of the major propositions:
Proposition 4– In 1979 the voters added and amended Article XIIIB of the State Constitution, which requires the City to set an appropriation limit for each fiscal year, that is, how much the City can spend from certain revenues. Please see definition of Appropriation Limit.
Proposition 13 – In 1978 the voters approved Article XIIIA of the State Constitution, which limited the ability of local governments to impose property taxes, reduced and established a limitation on the annual increases in assessed valuations and required a two-thirds vote of the people for local special taxes. Implementation of this law significantly changed the funding of local governments and shifted control to the State.
Please see the definition of Property Tax Rates and Revenue Allocation. Over the years, there have been a number of other propositions that have modified and added to Proposition 13.
Proposition 62 – In 1986 the voters approved a requirement for a majority vote of the people for general taxes.
Proposition 98 – In 1990 the voters approved minimum annual funding from the State General fund for public schools and community colleges. This has an indirect affect of limiting State funds available for allocation to Cities and Counties.

In addition, any election on general taxes must be held at a regularly scheduled election when members of the City Council are elected.

1 The Department of Public Works may reduce the expected demand upon approval of an engineered water study demonstrating/ quantifying the site-specific water usage. 2 The adoption of Resolution No. 2017-083 amending the Standardized Use Table is not intended to affect the number of bedrooms purchased through the now-defunct Leak Detection Program. All projects that purchased leak detection water shall only be vested for the original number of bedrooms purchased. 3 Each additional bedroom, add 100 gallons of water and 85 gallons of wastewater per day. i Actual consumption or discharge by land use type is based on rates established in RMS Standardized Use Table (Resolution No. 2015-029)

Cost Recovery Fees
The City provides a combination of public services and specific services. As defined in the Government Finance Officers Association publication, Financial Policies: Design and Implementation, a “public” service is one in which a citizen cannot choose to be excluded or one which delivers a benefit to the general public. For example, routine police patrols are a public service (one which provides a public good and which an individual citizen cannot opt out of) whereas police presence at a special event, such as a concert, would be a specific service. The purpose of this fee category is to recover costs pertaining to the services that are of special benefit to easily identified individuals or groups. These fees will not apply to public services. The reimbursement rate formula is based on the total cost of delivering the services, including direct costs such as salaries and benefits, indirect costs such as departmental administration costs, and citywide support costs such as accounting, personnel, data processing, vehicle maintenance, and insurance.
All fees are hourly rates. The fees will update each year based on the change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPU-U) for 12 months ending on January 31 of each year. The fees shall be also adjusted if there are any other changes to approved labor agreements, salary adjustments and other compensation approved by the City Council.
Any hourly rates not listed below will be determined by the Finance Department.
