HONORABLE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, AND RESIDENTS OF CATHEDRAL CITY:

After months of review and discussions, we are pleased to present the adopted Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years
(FY) 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 for the City of Cathedral City . The biennial budget includes the Operating Budget, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan, the Parks Improvement Program Plan, the Successor Agency to the Cathedral City Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency), Cathedral City as the Housing Successor Agency, and the Cathedral City Public Financing Authority.

This biennial budget was developed with a primary focus to accomplish City Council strategies and goals established in January 2025. Departments reviewed their past accomplishments and developed objectives focusing on achieving these overarching City Council goals:
• Serving the Community with Pride and Dedication
• Community Investment
• Fiscal Stability and Sustainability
• Innovation
• Safety
• Embracing, Inclusive City

FINANCIAL STATUS OVERVIEW
These past five years have proven to be challenging for the City of Cathedral City with the COVID -19 global pandemic and recovery from Tropical Storm Hilary. The City has been proactive in taking measures to mitigate possible negative economic effects by making reductions to City staffing and department operating budgets. Despite initial losses in tax revenues in certain areas, the City of Cathedral City was able to navigate through the pandemic without any major pitfalls. There continues to be stability with property values along with an increase in single family dwelling development, which translates into more rooftops result in increased revenues for our City.

Over the past decade, balancing the budget has been challenging for the City. Coming out of the lingering effects of the Great Recession, the City has been able to stabilize, achieving a net surplus in 11 of the past 12 fiscal years with significant growth in our Fund Balance, or “savings account”. To illustrate, revenues grew from $44.310 million in FY 2017/2018 to $69.287 million in FY 2023/2024. With the eco nomic downturn in 2007-2009, it was necessary to generate a stable source of revenues to ensure the City’s ability to maintain financial solvency. This stability was achieved through the support of Cathedral City residents to pass local revenues measures. The following measures have resulted in secure revenue sources: the Utility Users’ Tax (Measure L) passed in 2008, the Transactions and Use Tax (Measure H) passed in 2010 coupled with Measure B in 2014 eliminating the Measure H tax sunset, and most recently, the Transactions and Use Tax increase (Measure W) passed in 2024. In FY 2015/2016, the City

Council pursued diversifying the City’s tax revenue source through a Cannabis Tax allowing this new business sector to establish tax revenues for dispensary, cultivation, and manufacturing businesses in the City. As a result of these Council driven and Community supported measures, the City has been able to diversify revenue sources to the levels it receives today. During the past two fiscal years the general fund budgets were adopted with projected deficits; however, a surplus of $2.23 million was recognized in FY 2023/2024, and we anticipate a net deficit not more (and hopefully less) than $3.62 million in FY 2024/2025. During uncertain economic times, the City is committed to responsible fiscal management and has therefore identified various extraordinary expenditures that may be postponed beyond this biennial budget into future years.

FY 2025/2026 AND FY 2026/2027 BUDGET OVERVIEW
Citywide Financials
The City’s operating budget includes a variety of funding sources. The General Fund is the largest single fund and represents the City’s primary operating fund. Other funds include special revenue funds, capital projects funds, debt service funds, internal service funds, and private purpose trust funds. The General Fund budgeted revenues for FY 2025/2026 are $ 70.8 million, and the budgeted expenditures are $76.6 million, resulting in a net deficit of $5.8 million. For FY 2026/2027, the General Fund budgeted revenues are $73.5 million, and the budgeted expenditures are $78.0 million, resulting in a net deficit of $4.5 million. With these projections, the General Fund is anticipated to be $38.8 million at the start of FY 2025/2026, approximately $13.0 million above the 33% fund balance threshold ($25.3 million) of the FY 2026/2027 budgeted expenditures . For all funds, the total City expenditure budget for FY 2025/2026 is $161.4 million; and is $159.8 million for FY 2026/2027.

Citywide Staffing
Over the years, labor force reductions resulted from budget shortfalls, causing various departments to do more with less. During the C OVID-19 pandemic, the City full -time equivalents (FTE) were reduced from 201 FTEs to 183 FTEs. With the infusion from the federally funded American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the City was able to rehire those 18 positions over the next two fiscal years to climb back up to the 201 FTEs. Since then, the City has focused on efficiency reviews and targeted recruitment to avoid City-wide layoffs. Staffing resources have grown over these past few years with adopted FTE counts of 230 FTEs in the FY 2025/2026 budget and 231 FTEs in th e FY 2026/2027 budget, resulting in a staffing increase of 15.2% over the past 5 years. With these staffing increases, the City is approaching similar staffing counts to our highest number of 238 FTEs in FY 2007/2008 prior to the Great Recession.

In doing so, City departments and staff will continue to find ways to work efficiently to provide high-quality services while protecting the safety of Cathedral City residents through innovation, ingenuity, and employee productivity. To that extent, the City has achieved significant savings from the implementation of many facets of the enterprise-wide resource planning (ERP) system including the most recent implementation of on-line customer self-service portal to better service the needs of the Cathedral City community.

FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITIES
Over the last 15 years, the periodic question from the community has been: “why does the City appear to have a never-ending budget problem?” And, more specifically, “why is there still a problem given the City has had various tax measures?” These questions are valid and are primarily due to these two components: The City is still experiencing a recovery of core revenues, and the City is experiencing increased labor costs.

The City’s core annual revenues traditionally consist of taxes (property, sales and use, cannabis, transient occupancy, utility user tax, and franchise fees) contributing more than 70% to our General Fund revenues. Licenses and permits, charges for services, fines and forfeits, intergovernmental revenues, use of money and property, and miscellaneous revenues, and transfers in from other City funds contribute almost 30%.

Over the past 15 years, these additional tax revenue sources have allowed Cathedral City to diversify its revenue stream.
• During April 1, 2009, the Utility Users’ Tax (UUT) became effective. UUT imposed a 3% tax on the use of telecommunications, cable (video), electricity (including cogenerated), gas, and solid waste. In FY 2025/2026, UUT is projected to generate $4.3 million in annual revenues. • During June 2010, the Transactions and Use Tax (TUT) became effective, imposing a 1% tax on all retailers doing business within the city. In FY 2025/2026, TUT is projected to generate $10.0 million in annual revenues. • During FY 2015/2016, Cannabis Tax revenues became effective for licensed/operating dispensary, cultivation, and manufacturing facilities. In FY 2025/2026, Cannabis Tax is projected to generate $3.2 million in annual revenues.
• During FY 2024/2025, Measure W passed with a 73.4% majority and starting April 1 st of 2025 there will be an
additional .5 cent transaction and use tax increase for Cathedral City, which is projected to generate an additional $5.0 million in annual revenues.

Going forward, the challenge will be to balance each fiscal year’s budget on its own without depleting General Fund reserves. To ensure long- term viability, the City needs to not only maintain but also grow the core revenues discussed above through continued development activities prompting a growth in tax revenues, e.g., Sales Tax, TUT, UUT, TOT, and Cannabis.

Economic and Business Development
As pointed out in the previous section, revenue growth has occurred in core revenues over the past 15 years, most notably sales and use taxes which are generated from taxable transactions on goods sold. Total taxable transactions reached a peak of more than $1 billion in calendar year (CY) 2005, and then a low of $600 million just three years later in CY 2008. Fortunately, the City has seen a consistent trend upward in taxable transactions since CY 2017 to exceed $1.4 billion in CY 2022. In the coming years, we strive to pursue opportunities for Cathedral City to maintain sustainable growth well into the future.

For the City to continue this growth trend, core revenue growth is accomplished not only by the economy, but also through community engagement and strong community relations, a goal established by the City Council that continues into the upcoming biennial budget period. This will be accomplished through community newsletters, social media presence and the continued growth of special events. As the economy continues to recover from the great recession and COVID-19 pandemic, City staff, under the direction of City Council, continues to devise and implement new revenue-generating strategies to provide Cathedral City residents with the necessary level and highest quality services available within our current capabilities. Through the City Council-adopted goals and strategic planning, one of the key strategies for that growth is to continue to maintain and improve upon the infrastructure of Cathedral City. Included in this biennial budget, is the Capital Improvement Program Plan recommending significant investments in the City’s streets and road, and the Parks Improvement Program Plan making significant investments, e.g., American Disabilities Act (ADA), in the City’s parks. Both these plans provide infrastructure and recreation, not only for our existing residents and businesses that call Cathedral City home but also assisting in attracting new residents and businesses as part of our City’s future growth, especially as the City grows in the northern portions of Cathedral City.

Other key strategies adopted by the City Council are to look at ways to provide necessary infrastructure (both new and improved) and to expand the City’s footprint through growth and development opportunities; finalize the update to the City’s Zoning Code; refine our marketing narratives to appropriately define who we are; and continue the development of the downtown area. To assist in that development, the new Cathedral City Community Amphitheater $755,293

venue continues to grow year -over-year with new City events and musical performances e.g., Taste and Sounds, and sustained growth in arts, theatre, and cultural events at the CV Repertory Theatre. In addition, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) continues to increase their programming at their newest and most innovative state-of-the-art Casino in downtown Cathedral City, attracting even more visitors to the city.

City Council and staff continue to enhance the transparency of city government and the availability of information to the public, while ensuring the ongoing public safety commitment to protect our entire community. In doing so, we feel these investments will continue to attract new businesses and residents to strengthen Cathedral City.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We would like to thank the City Council and City Manager (CM) for their leadership and overall direction of this budget. We would also like to thank the many residents and business owners for providing input and feedback throughout the year to not only the City Council, but also to City staff and the respective Commissions and Committees. This has become a valuable resource we are able to tap into during the budget process. All are to be commended for committing their time to be involved in this very important process.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all City staff who participated in developing this budget document. Preparing the budget is a demanding and time-consuming effort for all staff members. This is especially true considering the continued workloads of staff in their respective core areas of responsibility and the budgetary challenges facing the City. “Teamwork” among individuals and departments resulted in this budget document. This same “teamwork” will continue Moving Cathedral City Forward into the future.

Respectfully submitted,

Kevin Biersack
Financial Services Director

DISTINGUISHED BUDGET PRESENTATION AWARD
Return to Table of Contents Page | 14

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented the City of Cathedral City with a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its biennial budget for the biennium beginning July 1, 2023. This was the City’s ninth successive award.

To receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document meeting the mandatory program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a communications device.

This award is valid for the two-year period only. We believe our current biennial budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we plan to submit this budget to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

BUDGET DEVELOPMENT
Return to Table of Contents Page | 15

CITY BUDGET PROCESS
To achieve time and cost efficiencies over a traditional annual budget, the City of Cathedral City prepares and adopts two one-year budgets. Under this cycle, the second year does not require formal adoption by City Council.

Each year is separate and distinct. Unencumbered funds from the first year do not carry over into the second year.

The City’s 6-month budget preparation cycle began in December as the Finance Division prepared a draft budget of operating expenditures for each of the six departments (City Management, Community and Economic Development (ED), Engineering (ENG) and Public Works, Financial Services, Fire, and Police) based on historical data and trends. In January, the Financial Services Department conducted in-person training for utilizing the Tyler ERP Central Budget Entry module to make budget requests . Individual departments are then directly responsible for reviewing the draft operating budgets and proposing any adjustments. The Community and Economic Development Department, Engineering and Public Works Department, Fire Department and Police Department coordinate their departmental facilities and vehicle replacement requests and provide to the Financial Services Department. In addition, the Finance staff incorporated the Engineering and Public Works Department capital improvement project requests.

Departments submitted their revised budget worksheets and supplemental data to the Financial Services in February. Based on departmental feedback, the Financial Services compiled the returned data and calculated the total expenditures requested, in addition to the estimated revenues and projected fund balances. The City Manager then held individual budget meetings with the various department heads. Based on the results of those meetings, the Financial Services updated the preliminary budget entries. In March, the Financial Services Director and City Management discussed and reviewed the preliminary budget as a whole prior to disseminating it to the City Council for review. Once distributed, City Council members were asked to provide questions, comments, and recommendations by the end of March. During April, the Financial Services Director reviewed and presented the proposed budget to City Council during two public study sessions – the first session being dedicated to the General Fund and the second to the special revenue funds, proprietary funds, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan and the Parks Improvement Program Plan.

With budget adoption, staff will publish the adopted budget document and integrate the budgetary data into Tyler ERP, the City’s accounting system. Financial Services will then submit the adopted budget document to the GFOA budget awards program. The City has received the GFOA budget award for the last nine budget cycles and strives for a successful 10
th submission.

BALANCED BUDGET
The City of Cathedral City defines a balanced budget as the total of budgeted revenues (including transfers in), to equal budgeted expenditures (including transfers out). and, if required, using fund balance to make up any difference.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS
Supplemental appropriations, when requested during the fiscal year, require approval by the City Council. The Financial Services Director is authorized to adjust appropriations between each department or activity provided the total appropriations for each department or activity do not exceed the amounts approved in the budget resolution, or any amending resolutions, for the entire fund. Based on City Council approved actions, adjustments to funds are made on at least a quarterly basis. Transfers of cash or unappropriated fund balance from one fund to another can be made with the Financial Services Director’s approval.

BASIS OF BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING
The City uses the modified accrual basis of accounting in budgeting governmental funds. This means obligations of the City, including outstanding purchase orders, are budgeted as expenditures. Revenues are recognized when they are both measurable and available to fund current expenditures. Estimated payouts during each budget year for compensated absences exceeding the maximum accrued leave allowable are included in the governmental funds budget. The modified accrual basis of accounting is also used for governmental funds reported in the annual audited financial statements.

The City uses the accrual basis of accounting in budgeting proprietary (internal service) funds and includes depreciation, but excludes capital outlay and debt payments, if any. Revenues are recorded when earned, whether cash is received at the time or not. In similar fashion, expenses are recorded when goods and services have been received, whether cash disbursements are made at the time or not. The accrual basis of accounting is also used for proprietary funds reported in the annual audited financial statements.

At the close of a fiscal year, outstanding operating budget purchase commitments for goods and services will not be carried forward into the next fiscal year. Budgets for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan and the Parks Improvement Program Plan are authorized for the duration of the project. Therefore, authorizations for CIP projects and unfulfilled capital improvement purchasing commitments at the end of a fiscal year are automatically carried forward to the next fiscal year.

STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Return to Table of Contents Page | 18

FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN
The City’s recently approved Five-Year Strategic Plan is an additional policy document guiding and informing the FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027 Biennial Budget. The Strategic Plan expands beyond previous goal setting performed by the City since, in addition to annual goals, it also identifies longer range priorities.

The Strategic Plan is an important planning document helping organizations maintain focus on the future in addition to addressing current issues and needs. As Cathedral City continues to grow and the complexities of providing public services continue to expand and evolve, preparing and positioning the organization to adapt, change, and improve becomes critically important to continue to create public value for our community.

The Government Finance Officers Association recommends government entities create strategic plans to provide a long-term perspective for service delivery and budgeting. The importance of strategic planning is positioning the City to adapt and influence the City’s future rather than simply reacting to what the future brings the City.

The City’s Mission, Values, and Vision create the foundation and framework for the Strategic Plan. Collectively, they articulate our purpose, core beliefs and principles guiding how we serve our community, and our aspirations for the future. They also drive the organizations’ Goals and Objectives which inform work programs and priorities which are funded through this budget document.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Return to Table of Contents Page | 20

Performance measures assess the effectiveness and efficiencies of the City’s departments and divisions. They allow City staff to measure how to better achieve the strategic goals the City Council sets in their Annual Goal Planning Session. Through the evaluation and/or outcome of certain functions carried out within the departments, results can be seen and how those results are connected to achieving the City Council’s strategic goals.

Performance measures are now a mandatory criterion under the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program. As such, the City of Cathedral City has included various performance measures in our Budget Document.

City Management in collaboration with the Financial Services Department worked directly with the various departments to identify, evaluate, and provide performance measures based on appropriate measures needed to communicate goals and objectives for near and far-reaching future goals. During the analysis stage, department discussions focused around the following 10 GFOA steps for identifying appropriate performance measures:

1. Know your audience. Measures communicate performance, but not all measures are appropriate for all audiences. Before identifying measures, think about what your intended audience wants to know.

Department heads, elected officials, and citizens all have different needs.

2. Consult with subject matter experts. Finance staff should never identify measures without input and collaboration from subject matter experts and program staff in operating departments. Talk to the staff members who are involved in performing services to find what would add value.

3. Identify the outcomes. Identify the purpose or goal of the programs and services your government is providing.

4. Identify the service level. Describe what your government does to produce quality outcomes and think about how services can be performed (timeliness, error free, frequency, superior quality, etc.). Think about how your customers (be they citizens or employees) think about the service level being provided.

5. List factors that can influence outcomes. A variety of factors can influence outcomes. Be clear about which ones (internal or external) could influence the outcome or service level. If necessary, use tools like a factor map to diagram them.

6. Select appropriate measures. Select measures that will help your audience understand the situation. This can be more than one measure and can relate to factors that are or are not controlled by government programs.

7. Define your measures. Be explicit about what you are measuring and how to collect information and be consistent.

8. Determine the frequency of measurement. Identify how often you will collect and report data. Also, specify who will be responsible for collecting, storing, and sharing data.

9. Consider how you will use data you collect. Think through how the data will be used - for example, who will have access to this information? What decisions or processes does the data support?

10. Evaluate the usefulness of the data. After a set period, evaluate whether the performance measure is useful information. If not, consider tweaking your approach or stop collecting that data in favor of a more useful measure.

Performance measures can be found within each respective departments budget. In upcoming cycles, we will continue to add additional Performance measures as we identify and track new data points to measure the City’s strategic goals.

LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL PLANNING
Return to Table of Contents Page | 21

GENERAL FUND

The City of Cathedral City’s Financial Services Director briefs City Council as to the General Fund’s current fiscal year financial status at least twice/year, based on mid-year (December) and end of year (June) financial data. At the same time, a five-year forecast beyond the current fiscal year is also presented. This allows the City Council to make decisions conducive with the fund balance policy. In addition, the City Council receives a bi-monthly status throughout the fiscal year of actual “cash” revenues received and expenditures made.

To be prepared for any future economic downturns, the City revised its fund balance policy in September 2014. The revised policy states that of the available fund balance, the City strives to assign a minimum of 33% of budgeted expenditures (including transfers out) for cash flow reserves, economic uncertainties, and budget-related reserves, with a goal of achieving a 50% balance.

The table below shows the current revenues, expenditures, and fund balance projections beyond the current budget periods. As shown, the City will exceed its minimum fund balance policy of 33% in FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027.

Starting with FY 2027/2028, the City may fall below the 33% minimum Fund Balance level. Current estimates anticipate a 4% growth in FY 2027/2028 revenues and a corresponding 3% growth in FY 2027/2028 expenditures over the next three years and into the future. During the next two budget years, the City anticipates additional Federal Emergency management Agency ( FEMA) revenue from Tropical Storm Hilary that occurred in August of 2023. This revenue would assist with closing the gap between expenditures and revenues and will strive to maintain a fund balance minimum of 33%.

D
uring this current period of economic uncertainty, any one-time (extraordinary) expenditures have been identified as expenditures utilizing fund balance “savings” and could be candidates for postponement should there be an economic downturn. As a result, it will be incumbent up on Financial Services staff to actively monitor revenue and expenditure trends and keep City Management and City Council apprised of adverse conditions, especially when significant one-time expenditures are planned for and anticipated to be made. With revenues (4%) and expenditures (3%) forecasted to increase at these respective percentages, it will be important to evaluate these forecasts and compare to the future market conditions in preparing the next biennial budget for FY 2027/2028 and beyond.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PLAN

The Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan is another integral part of the City’s long-range financial planning. The City currently has identified 18 c urrent/active projects to be completed in the upcoming biennial budget for FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027, 28 new projects planned to begin during the upcoming five-year plan, and 7 unfunded projects.

LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL PLANNING

The planning process for the CIP Plan begins with the Finance Division gathering data on existing projects, potential funding for new projects, and identifying unfunded projects. Subsequently, Finance coordinates with Engineering staff to develop a preliminary plan to be submitted for Engineering review and comment. Meeting(s) and various forms of coordination occur to refine and provide detail in developing and finalizing a draft plan for City Council review and concurrence. A final CIP Plan is then presented with the Proposed Budget, and if there are no changes, will be included in the Final Proposed Budget for City Council approval of the Adopted Budget.

Significant nonrecurring capital expenditures shown in the CIP Plan for the next two-year budget period include the design of the Septic to Sewer Project ($1,468,061 in FY 2025/2026 and $738,286 in FY 2026/2027) which will transfer approximately 1,140 homes from septic to municipal sewer . The design and construction of Date Palm north of I-10 6-Lane ($521,069 in FY 2025/2026 and $4,737,575 in FY 2026/2027) which will provide safe roadways and proper drainage for storm water. Whispering Palms Trail Bike Lane ( $1,028,757 in FY 2025/2026) will provide Class III bicycle lanes in one of the City most densely populated area.

There are no significant operating expenditures expected during the next two-year budget period for capital projects included in the CIP Plan.

FUND STRUCTURE
Return to Table of Contents Page | 23

The City of Cathedral City’s accounting system (financial backbone) is maintained on a fund basis, in accordance with governmental accounting standards. Each of the City’s funds is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures. Funds are established and segregated with the purpose of recording specific programs or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. Funds are classified into one of three categories:
governmental (general, special revenue, debt service and capital projects), proprietary (internal service and enterprise), and fiduciary (trust and agency). Each of these categories is described in greater detail in the following sections.

Budgets are legally adopted for the following funds: General Fund (Fund 100), Big League Dreams (Fund 431), certain special revenue funds as identified in the List of Funds, internal service funds, and private purpose trust funds on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Fund budgets are not adopted for the Public Financing Authority or the debt service funds, which account for bond proceeds and associated annual debt service. Effective budgetary control is alternately achieved through bond indenture provisions. In addition, fund budgets are not initially adopted for capital projects; however, the associated expenditures are identified in the CIP Plan and the Parks Improvement Program Plan for the project lifecycle. Once the capital project is authorized by City Council, it is then budgeted for the duration of the project. Although not formally appropriated, planned expenditures in the debt service funds are included in the budget document for informational purposes.

Custodial funds have no equity, assets are equal to liabilities, and do not include revenues and expenditures for general operations of the City. Therefore, budgets are not adopted for these funds.

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Governmental funds are used to account for most, if not all, of a government’s tax-supported activities. The general fund, special revenue funds, capital projects funds and debt service funds are considered governmental funds.

Governmental funds report activities based on near-term inflows and outflows of financial or spendable resources (current financial resources measurement focus) and use the modified accrual basis of accounting.

The GENERAL FUND is the main operating fund of the City and is used to account for all the general revenues of the City not specifically levied or collected in other City funds, and for the expenditures related to the rendering of general services by the City. The General Fund is used to account for all resources not required to be accounted for in another fund.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS are used to account for the revenue received from specific taxes or other specific revenue sources restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than for debt service or major capital projects.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS are used to account for, and report financial resources restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets.

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS are used to account for, and report financial resources restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest.

FUND STRUCTURE
Return to Table of Contents Page | 24

PROPRIETARY (INTERNAL SERVICE) FUNDS
Proprietary funds are used to account for a government’s business-type activities. As such, proprietary funds report activities in a similar means as those of private sector businesses (economic resources measurement focus) and use the same Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as those businesses. Internal service and Enterprise funds are considered proprietary funds.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS are used to report any activity providing goods or services to other funds or departments of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS may be used to report any activity for which a fee is charged to external users for goods or services. Most California cities have one or more enterprise funds accounting for activities such as an airport, hospital, harbor, etc. Since these types of services were already available in the Coachella Valley (CV) before the City was incorporated, the City of Cathedral City has no such funds. Enterprise fund operations usually provide significant financial assistance to a city’s operations. The lack of this revenue source is one reason why the City faces revenue challenges.

FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the City acting in a fiduciary capacity for other entities. Such funds are operated to carry out the specific actions of agreements, ordinances and other governing regulations and cannot be used to support the City’s own programs. There are four types of sub-funds: pension trust funds; investment trust funds; private-purpose trust funds; and custodial funds. The City of Cathedral City uses private- purpose trust funds and custodial funds.

PRIVATE-PURPOSE TRUST FUNDS are used to account for and report other trust arrangements under which revenues benefit individuals, private organizations, or other governments. Activity related to the Successor Agency to the Former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) is reported in these funds.

CUSTODIAL FUNDS are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for individuals, principal organizations, other governments, and/or funds. The City’s role is limited to such things as collecting and remitting funds for a third party.

GENERAL FUND Fund 100
Return to Table of Contents Page | 54

Description: The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City of Cathedral City and is used to account for all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Funding Sources: Revenues are generated from general taxes (property, sales, transactions and use, utility users, transient occupancy, cannabis, and franchise fees), licenses and permits, fines and forfeits, intergovernmental revenues, use of money and property (interest and rents), other revenues and interfund transfers.

Fund Balance: Fund balance is projected to decrease $5,754,677, or -14.8%, to $33,025,728 as of June 30, 2026 and decrease another $4,526,941, or -13.7%, to $28,498,788 as of June 30, 2027. This change in fund balance for the General Fund is primarily due to increased personnel costs, continuing California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB), unfunded liability and completing various one- time significant improvements and/or repairs.

The City of Cathedral City’s annual revenues are derived from taxes, licenses and permits, charges for services, fines and forfeits, intergovernmental revenue, use of money and property, other miscellaneous revenues and interfund transfers in. Taxes are the largest component of the City’s revenue and represent almost 76% of the total revenue expected to be received in the next two fiscal years. Sales -related taxes (sales and use tax/transactions and use tax) represent the largest category of taxes received at approximately 42% while property-related taxes account for another 29%.

Assumptions used in projecting revenues for FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027 were based on historical and economic trends, and any known activity changes, informed/expert judgment, and estimates from the state of California and Riverside County.

SALES AND USE TAX

California law requires not only for taxes be paid on in-state purchases but also for taxes be paid on items purchased out-of-state for use in California. Tax collected by the retailer here in California is called sales tax, and the retailer is responsible for reporting and paying the tax to the state via the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). When an out-of-state or online retailer doesn’t collect the tax for an item delivered to California, the purchaser may owe “use tax,” which is a tax on the use, storage, or consumption of personal property in California. Taxpayers can report and pay their use tax on their California income tax returns; registered sellers report their use tax on their sales and use tax returns.

The current sales and use tax rate for the State of California is 7.25%. For Riverside County, including the additional .5% Measure A Tax, the current sales and use tax rate is 7.75%. The components are described below:
• State General Fund 3.9375%
• State Local Revenue Fund (1991) 0.5000%
• State Local Public Safety Fund (1993) 0.5000%
• State Local Revenue Fund (2011) 1.0625%
• City/County Local Tax 1.2500%

In November 1993, California voters passed Proposition 172, which permanently extended the one-half cent state sales tax to what was originally approved in 1991. The legislation required that the proceeds provided an additional sales tax be diverted from the state to the cities and counties to fund public safety programs.

California Assembly Bill (AB) 118 established the Community Corrections Grant Program with the purpose of funding various changes to the criminal justice system as required by Chapter 15 of the Statutes of 2011. The bill created the Local Revenue Fund 2011 in the State Treasury. Existing law, enacted by Chapter 15 of the Statutes of 2011, created the community corrections grant program to assist in implementing the act and creating an appropriation to fund the grant program. The State General Fund previously received 5% of the total sales and use tax rate. Upon passage of AB 118, 1.0625% of the State General Fund allocation was designated to partially fund this corrections program.

In 1988, voters approved Measure A, Riverside County’s half-cent sales tax for transportation. Funds go back to each of three districts: Western Riverside County, the Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde, in proportion to what they contribute. In 2002, Measure A was extended by Riverside County voters to continue funding transportation improvements through 2039.

CDTFA administers the sales tax and remits to local governments: 30% for the first month of each quarter, another 30% the following month, and 40% at the end of the quarter. A “clean-up” payment is received in the third month for the previous quarter.

Sales tax represents the City of Cathedral City’s single largest revenue source. Of the nine industry categories, the automotive category (dealers and supplies) generally accounts for roughly 51.3% of total taxable transactions.

Sales tax revenue has been steadily increasing since the low point in FY 2009/2010. Sales tax is projected at $12.99 million for FY 2025/2026 and $13.38 million for FY 2026/2027. This represents an increase of $647,041, or 5.24% from FY 2024/2025 year -end estimates to FY 2025/2026 projections and an additional increase of $389,610, or

3.0%, to FY 2026/2027 projections. Sales and use taxes account for 18.34% and 18.19% of total General Fund tax revenues projected for FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027, respectively.

TRANSACTIONS AND USE TAX
In June 2010, Cathedral City voters passed Measure H, which established 1% transactions and use tax on all retailers doing business within the City for five years from the date it first took effect. In June 2014, Cathedral City voters passed Measure B, which removed the five-year sunset and approved the continuation of the tax until repealed by the voters. It is estimated the transactions and use tax revenues resulting from Measure H and Measure B will be $8.07 million in FY 2024/2025, a decrease of $797,821, or -8.99%, from FY 2023/2024. Projections for both FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027 are $10.0 million, respectively.

In November 2024, voters passed Measure W, which established an additional 0.5% in transactions and use tax within the City. The increase took effect April 1, 2025. These additional funds will be used to support City services such as an additional ambulance service for improved emergency response and coverage, community center programming and park operations via annexation into the Desert Recreation District effective July 1, 2025, debt service for a planned community center, and road improvements . Projections for both FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027 are $5.0 million, respectively. The additional revenue is not reflected in the graph above since it is not received into the general fund. The additional revenue will be recorded in a complimentary fund, Measure W Fund 151.

Beginning April 1, 2025, the combined total for the Transaction and Use Tax is 1.5%. The tax proceeds are deposited in the City’s general fund to be used for general governmental purposes, such as City operations, police and fire services, street repairs, parks, emergency response and paramedic services, capital projects, and other essential services.

PROPERTY TAX

A property tax of 1% is imposed on the value of real property (land and permanently attached improvements such as buildings) and tangible personal property (movable property) located within the state. In 1986, California voters passed a constitutional amendment (Article XIIIA of the State Constitution), which provided an exception to the 1% limitation. Local governments and school districts may increase the percentage above 1% to finance the issuance of general obligation bonds. However, a local election must be held in which the voters approve the bond issuance by a two-thirds majority.

The increase in the assessed valuation of property that has not changed ownership is limited by the 1978 voter- approved Proposition 13 allowing the California Consumer Price Index not to exceed a maximum of 2% per year.

Property that has changed ownership, has been substantially altered, newly constructed, state assessed, or personal property is assessed at the full market value in the first year and is subject to the 2% maximum in subsequent years.

The City of Cathedral City participates in the Teeter Plan, an alternative method for property tax apportionment without regard for delinquencies. Under the Teeter Plan, the City’s current secured property tax apportionment is increased by the taxes that were typically delinquent. In exchange, the City gave up any claim to future penalties and interest associated with those delinquencies. In 2005, the County of Riverside removed supplemental property taxes from the Teeter Plan. The supplemental taxes are now recorded as revenue when received, as are any associated penalties and interest on delinquencies related to those taxes. The secured property tax roll remains on the Teeter Plan. Taxes are remitted to the City by the County of Riverside as follows: 30% Advance (December); Collection No. 1 (January); 10% Advance (April); Collection No. 2 (May); and Collection No. 3 (July).

The City also receives property taxes by way of the motor vehicle license fee (VLF), or automobile in-lieu tax. The VLF was permanently reduced from 2% to 0.65% by the state legislature in 2004. Monies lost from this rate reduction have been replaced by property taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Since FY 2005, each local government’s property tax in lieu of VLF has increased annually based on the growth in the gross assessed valuation in that jurisdiction.

From FY 2023/2024 to FY 2024/2025, Cathedral City net assessed taxable property values increased $402 million, or 6.36%. The median home selling price has increased from the low of $150,000 in February 2011 to $532,500 in January 2025, which has largely exceeded the median home selling price of $385,500 in 2006. Supplemental property taxes are calculated based on the difference between the current value of a property and the resale value of the property. Typically, property values increase as a property is resold. There has been significant recovery in home resale values and supplemental property tax revenue has more than recovered to its previous level .

Many residents believe property tax fully funds local government costs. The reality is the City of Cathedral City only receives approximately 16 cents out of every property tax dollar paid by City residents. As shown below, this amount is less than that received by the Palm Springs Unified School District (30.57 cents) and Riverside County (24.86 cents).

Revenues from property taxes, including the additional property taxes resulting from the property tax in lieu of VLF discussed previously, are projected at $14.71 million for FY 2025/2026 and $15.95 million for FY 2026/2027. This represents a decrease of (292,478) or -1.95% from FY 2024/2025 year-end estimates to FY 2025/2026 projections and an increase of $1,242,971, or 8.45%, to FY 2026/2027 projections. Property taxes account for 20.77% and

21.70% of total General Fund tax revenues projected for FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027, respectively.

UTILITY USERS’ TAX
The citizens of Cathedral City voted in favor of a UUT in November 2008, and it became effective in April 2009. The City of Cathedral City imposes a 3% rate on the use of telecommunications, cable (video), electricity (including cogeneration), gas, and solid waste. Note – the State of California imposes 2.5%, not 3%, on prepaid wireless telecommunications.

Southern California Edison is the predominant energy provider and accounts for approximately 63% of the UUT received. UUT is received monthly from the various providers. UUT revenues are projected to increase over the next budget cycle. Therefore, revenues are projected at $4.3 million for FY 2025/2026 and $4.8 million for FY 2026/2027. This represents stable growth from FY 2024/2025 year-end estimates to FY 2025/2026 projections and slight increase in FY 2026/2027. UUT accounts for 6.11% and 6.59% of total General Fund tax revenues projected for FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027.

TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX/TIMESHARE UNIT FEES

Transient occupancy tax (TOT) is imposed on guest stays of thirty days (29 nights) or less, in a hotel or privately owned vacation rental, within the City limits. Effective January 1, 2007, the TOT rate was increased to 12% of the rent charged by the operator and has remained unchanged. Cathedral City receives most of its TOT from the seven primary hotels currently located within the City. The City also receives a significant minority from short-term vacation rentals (STVRs). In addition, the City receives revenues from in-lieu developer fees (timeshare properties), TOT from RV parks, and non-owner rentals of vacant timeshares.

The City’s TOT recovered from the economic recession 14 years ago. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the City understandably experienced a decrease in revenues during FY 2019/2020 and a slight increase in FY 2020/2021.

As the state re-opened after the height of the pandemic, there was a significant increase through FY 2022/2023 of $5.41 million. Effective January 2023, a sunset provision phased out residential STVRs in open neighborhoods, leading to a modest decrease in TOT revenues. FY 2023/2024 subsequently followed with a slight decrease to $5.07 million and now FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027 projections are forecasted to be $4.62 million and $4.73 million, respectively.

CANNABIS TAX

On November 4, 2014, the Cathedral City voters approved Measure N, which approved a new tax on cannabis businesses operating under California’s medical marijuana laws. The new tax allows for up to 15% (currently 10% on past due accounts, 5% for customers current in tax payments) tax on each dollar of gross receipts received by a dispensary. On November 8, 2016, Measure P was approved allowing the City to impose up to $25 per square foot (currently $15 on past due accounts, $10 for customers current in tax payments) on cannabis cultivation space and up to a $1 per gram/unit (currently ranging from $.05/gram to $.40/gram) based on the type/quality of manufactured cannabis concentrate and for cannabis-infused products.

Based on the volume of applicants for licenses to operate dispensaries, cultivation spaces and manufacturing of cannabis products, and cannabis market trends, we expect to see revenues less than our current projection for FY 2024/2025. FY 2023/2024 Cannabis Tax revenues were $2,837,618 and are projected to be $3,947,688 at the end of FY 2024/2025. Currently, there are 9 dispensaries, 31 cultivators, and 6 manufacturers in operation. We project Cannabis Tax revenue to decrease to $3.2 million in both FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027. These taxes represent approximately 4.52% and 4.35% of total General Fund revenues for FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027, respectively.

FRANCHISE FEES
Overall franchise fees have steadily increased throughout the years, with a FY 2024/2025 estimate ending at $3,205,732. These fees represent approximately 4.63% and 4.71% of total General Fund revenues for FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027, respectively. Revenues from franchise fees are projected at $3.28 million for FY 2025/2026 and $3.47 million for FY 2026/2027.

Utilities. The City grants a franchise to utility companies for the use of City streets and rights-of-way. The Public Utility Commission (PUC) limited electric and gas franchise fees to 2% and cable franchise fees to 5% of gross receipts. Any growth in franchise revenues would be a result of utility rate increases imposed by the electric, gas, and cable companies. Currently, the City collects electric franchise fees from Southern California Edison and gas franchise fees from The Gas Company at the rate of 2% of gross receipts arising from use, operation or possession of the franchise, and cable franchise fees from Time Warner Cable, Inc. at the rate of 5% of gross receipts. The electric and gas franchise fees are paid annually while the cable franchise fees are paid on a quarterly basis.

Franchise fees from utilities account for approximately 44.4% of total franchise fees.

Trash. The City also charges a solid waste hauler’s franchise fee. The current franchise agreement is with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. The current franchise rate is 12% of gross receipts payable monthly to the City and 12% of gross receipts levied/paid semi-annually on a property tax bill. Franchise fees from trash generally account for approximately 50.5% of total franchise fees.

Tow. In January 2014, the City awarded towing contracts to Southwest Towing, Inc. and Mohica Towing, Inc. with the purpose of satisfying the City’s ongoing towing needs. The initial agreement was for a 3-year period, with two additional 3-year extensions. As of August 2023, the City renegotiated and approved a three- year towing contract extension. Franchise fees are paid monthly and represent the amount necessary to reimburse the City for its actual and reasonable costs associated with the towing program.

CHARGES FOR SERVICES

The City of Cathedral City has the general authority to impose fees or charges for services. Charges for services are distinguished from taxes in two principal ways: (1) the amount of the fee may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service or facility for which the fee is charged; and (2) the service or facility for which the fee is charged bears a relationship to the person or entity paying the fee.

The City’s charges for services include: plan check fees and other services provided by the Planning, Building, and Engineering Divisions related to zoning and conditional use permits; fingerprinting, false alarms, police reports, jail booking fees, police dispatch and police department reimbursements for the Police Department; fire inspection, fire plan checks, alarm response, paramedic response, smoke alarm inspection fees, abatement code enforcement fees, and fire department reimbursements for the Fire Department; and administrative support and other labor reimbursements.

In October 2020, the City entered into a contract with a local vendor to complete a Citywide Comprehensive Cost Allocation Plan and User Fee Study. Fifteen years had passed since the last fee study before the first new study became effective, covering the period from December 2021 through October 2023. Since then, two additional fe e Studies have been implemented: the first from November 2023 through June 2024, and the most recent effective from July 2024 through June 2025. A new Fee Study will become effective from July 2025 through June 2026.

Revenues from charges for services are projected at $7.22 million for FY 2025/2026 and $7.73 million for FY 2026/2027. This represents an increase of $2.34 million, or 47.8% from FY 2042/2025 year-end estimates to FY 2025/2026 projections and an increase of $508,810, or 7.04%, to FY 2026/2027 projections. The fluctuations in total revenues from year to year are generally related to the level of reimbursements received (e.g., administrative support, other labor, contracts for dispatch services and law enforcement personnel with other municipalities, etc.).

We are projecting higher labor reimbursement revenues for these next two years based on the implementation of the next fee study. Paramedic services are also projected to increase due to the City’s newest ambulance addition in FY 2025/2026.

LICENSES AND PERMITS

Licenses and permits generate revenue from a wide variety of activity, ranging from business, cannabis, and animal licenses, to building-related, engineering and fire permits. The most significant revenue sources are business licenses and construction permits. These two sources generally account for 50% of annual revenues from license and permit activities.

Business licenses are required for any establishment conducting business within the City’s limits. License fees are based on gross sales and the type of business. License fees have grown over the past few years to around $650,000, with a FY 2024/2025 projection of $638,201, comprised of $478,233 in license fees and $159,968 in processing fees. We are projecting an increase in revenue at $744,960 in FY 2025/2026 and $750,807 in FY 2026/2027.

Construction permits are issued by the City and are required for various types of construction within the City limits and are driven by the local economy. Construction permit revenues have slightly increased by $78,309 between FY 2023/2024 and FY 2024/2025 estimated projections. Based on current and proposed development projects, revenues have been projected to further increase to $1,333,930 in FY 2025/2026 and $1,373,948 in FY 2026/2027.

USE OF MONEY AND PROPERTY
Use of money and property consists of interest revenue and rental revenue generated from City-owned facilities.

Cash balances are invested by the City Treasurer in accordance with the City’s investment policy, providing for the maximum security of principal, and meeting the City’s daily cash flow needs, while providing the best investment return. All investments are made in accordance with the California Government Code and the City investment policy, which is more restrictive than state law. The projection of a lower interest revenue amount is based on relatively low interest rates and the year-end market valuation of the City’s investments.

Use of money and property revenues declined sharply in FY 2021/2022 and have since recovered based on FY 2024/2025 projections of $1,436,695. The majority of the City’s investments are held in the California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). The interest rate on LAIF funds is currently at 4.313% in March 2025. Based on market volatility and the yearend market valuation, revenues from the use of money and property (interest and rental revenue), have been projected conservatively to decrease and remain at $1,146, 040 in FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027.

FINES AND FORFEITS
Fines and forfeits are mainly comprised of code compliance charges, fines, and citations. In addition, a secondary source of other fines and forfeitures, e.g., police citations, are collected. Fines and Forfeits made a significant increase from $393,183 in FY 2020/2021 to $552,855 in FY 2021/2022, followed by a reduction in FY 2022/2023 to $319,014 and slight increase to $354,490 in FY 2023/2024. Revenues have been projected to increase from FY 2024/2025 projection of $175,282 and stabilize at $306,000 for both FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Return to Table of Contents Page | 123

Cathedral City’s business -friendly environment helps companies of various sizes and industries start -up, grow, thrive, and succeed. The city fosters real partnerships and collaborations with local businesses in order to contribute to their continued success, as integral members of the Cathedral City community. The City of Cathedral City created the Economic Development team to provide specialized services to the business community.

The California Association for Local Economic Development (CALED) defines Economic Development as the creation of wealth from which community benefits are realized. It is more than a jobs program; it’s an investment in growing your economy and enhancing the prosperity and quality of life for all residents.

Economic development means different things to different people. On a broad scale, anything a community does to foster and create a healthy economy can fall under the auspice of economic development. Today’s economic development professionals are trying harder than ever to define their field in terms that are more concrete and salient to policymakers, the public, and other professionals. There are probably as many definitions for economic development as there are people who practice it.

From a public perspective, local economic development involves the allocation of limited resources – land, labor, capitol and entrepreneurship in a way that has a positive effect on the level of business activity, employment, income distribution patterns, and fiscal solvency.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Performance Measures for FY 2025/2026 – FY 2026/2027:

The following Engineering KPMs will be used to monitor the efficiency of projects. These KPMs will be used to determine how well Engineering Staff identify and resolve specific issues within the process and to keep projects and Staff on schedule and assign tasks based on project needs. • Project timeline: This measure will monitor a project based on established start dates and deadlines, to identify specific challenges or obstacles that could affect the timeline of the project. Considering that every timeline looks different depending on the project type, this measurement will assist Staff to strategize solutions to prevent or minimize project delays.
• Project budget: The Project Budget indicator (PBI) will be calculated after a project completion to determine efficiency in terms of engineering costs. The PBI will compare the budgeted cost and the actual cost to determine a value. Any value greater than one indicates the team completed the project under budget. • Plan checking cycle time: This measure will show how long it takes from the first review to issue the appropriate permit or plan approval. Achieving a fourteen (14) days plan check review cycle has been achieved and will be maintained as the benchmark for the division.

• Special Deposits Fund (Fund 711)

MEASURE W FUND Fund 151
Return to Table of Contents Page | 204

Description: The Measure W Fund was established to account for the funds received following the passage of the Measure W ballot measure at the General Municipal Election on November 5, 2024. Measure W proposed a one- half cent increase to the general transaction and use tax , increasing from one cent to one and one- half cents per dollar. Although the deposit activity is accounted for in a separate fund, it does not meet the definition of a special revenue fund according to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. With the implementation of GASB Statement No. 54, this fund has been considered a sub-fund of the General Fund and will be reported as such starting in 2026.

Funding Sources: Revenues are generated from a one-half cent general transaction and use tax.

Fund Balance: Fund balance is projected to remain at $0 as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2027.

In July 2024 the City Council, after months of study and public input, including a report from the Resident Study Committee of Cathedral City residents, acted to refer a tax question to the voters (Measure W) which was ultimately approved by the voters in November. 74% of Cathedral City voters said yes to improved and more efficient emergency medical service, more funding for paving neighborhood streets and yes to joining the Desert Recreation District so that Cathedral City residents can enjoy the broad array of parks and recreation opportunities offered by the DRD. Since the passage of Measure W, the City Council and staff have been working to deliver on the promises made.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Neighborhood Street Improvements

Measure W will provide an additional $1 million per year dedicated to improving neighborhood streets. In this budget, staff will present the City Council with multi -year plans for improvements to neighborhood streets. Staff in the Public Works department have developed three sets of street improvement plans:

• Measure W funded street improvements which will focus on neighborhood streets . • SB 1 funded improvements using funds provided through Cathedral City’s share of state gas tax funds . • Maintenance of Effort funded improvements. To receive state SB1 funds, the City must provide a local match, which mostly comes from the City’s General Fund.

Desert Recreation District Annexation

Measure W will also provide funding of $1 million per year for improved parks maintenance and the introduction of recreation programming which was previously not provided in Cathedral City. These services will be provided by the Desert Recreation District and Cathedral City will annex into the district. Once the annexation is complete, residents of Cathedral City will be able to take advantage of parks and recreation programming through the DRD anywhere DRD serves in the Coachella Valley, at in-district rates.

• The City Council and the Desert Recreation District board each approved the services and tax sharing agreements needed to make this all happen during their respective meetings on February 12, 2025.

Next steps will include the public annexation process through the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). Services provided to Cathedral City residents by the DRD will include maintenance of Esperanza, Ocotillo, Panorama, Century, Dennis Keat soccer parks and limited maintenance at Patriot Park; recreation programming in Cathedral City parks and other local facilities, operation of the Cathedral City High School (CCHS) pool for the summer swim season, parks attendants to monitor and handle issues in the parks and access to DRD events and programs throughout the DRD service area. The agreements will allow all these benefits to begin by July 1, 2025.

Improved Fire Paramedic and Ambulance Service

Measure W will also fund the acquisition and staffing of a fourth ambulance, maintaining emergency medical response times even as calls for service are increasing. Six new firefighter/paramedic positions will be funded to staff the fourth ambulance 24 hours a day seven days a week.

• Fire Department and Human Resources department personnel are currently working on the recruitment, testing and hiring of the personnel required to staff the ambulance with a goal of having them onboard a few weeks prior to July 1, 2025 so that they can be trained and in place for the additional ambulance to go into service on that date.

The Police Department will also be hiring two additional emergency medical dispatchers in support of the emergency services which are included in the police department budget. Police handles all dispatch for both the police and fire departments. The additional dispatchers will allow for the implementation of emergency medical dispatch.

MEASURE W FUND Fund 151
Return to Table of Contents Page | 206

Community Recreation Center

Measure W will also provide funding for the development of a community recreation center and ultimately its operation. The first step toward development of the recreation center will be the selection of a firm to assist with evaluating possible locations for either a newly constructed facility or an adaptive reuse of an existing building.

A competitive process will be conducted to select a firm and their study will include community input, review by the DRD and other possible users of the facility.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Measure W aligns with the City Council goals of:

Goal B: Community Investment

Objective: Cathedral City roads, gateways, public spaces, and other infrastructure are well planned, designed, constructed and maintained.

Goal E: Safety

AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT FUND Fund 242
Return to Table of Contents Page | 221

Description: The Air Quality Improvement Fund was established to account for costs related to air pollution reduction.

Funding Sources: Revenues are generated from vehicle registration surcharges allocated to Cathedral City by South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) (intergovernmental revenue) and interest earnings (use of money and property).

In September 1990, AB 2766, Motor Vehicle Subvention Program, was signed into law authorizing a $2 motor vehicle registration surcharge, with a subsequent increase to $4 in 1992. Section 44223 of the Health & Safety Code, enacted by AB 2766, specifies this fee be used “solely to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles and for related planning, monitoring, enforcement, and technical studies necessary for the implementation of the California Clean Air Act of 1998.”

Cathedral City receives 25% of each vehicle registration dollar to implement projects reducing mobile source emissions. SCAQMD distributes these dollars quarterly to South Coast cities and counties based upon their prorated share of population.

Fund Balance: Fund balance is projected to increase $21,700, or 6.3%, to $365,782 as of June 30, 2026 and increase $21,500, or 5.9%, to $387,282 as of June 30, 2027.

SOLID WASTE FUND Fund 246
Return to Table of Contents Page | 224

Description: The Solid Waste Fund was established to account for costs related to programs initiating recycling efforts throughout the City.

Funding Sources: Revenues are generated from monies received under AB 939, Integrated Waste Management Act (charges for services) and interest earnings (use of money and property).

Fund Balance: Fund balance is projected to decrease $688,211, or -22.6%, to $2,360,164 as of June 30, 2026 and decrease another $626,653, or -26.6%, to $1,733,511 as of June 30, 2027. The decrease in fund balance is for environmental projects such as beautification of public areas, increased water conservation, and increased waste diversion. This fund balance can be used to fund projects in future years.

The Public Works Solid Waste Division manages waste and other environmental initiatives for the City. Waste collection is provided by Burrtec Waste and Recycling Services.

The Solid Waste Division is responsible for ensuring that the city complies with the requirements of The California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939) and the California Short -Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy (SB 1383) which both have targets of reducing disposal of organic waste in landfills and reducing greenhouse gas production. AB 939 requires that all California jurisdictions prepare a Source Reduction Recycling Element (SRRE) report identifying how they divert 50% of their jurisdiction’s waste stream from landfill disposal each year. The penalty for not diverting 50% each year is a $10,000/ day fine until the diversion goal is obtained. According to the requirements of Cathedral City’s SRRE, the following components need to be implemented to reach the 50% diversion goal for each year:

• Source reduction

SUCCESSOR HOUSING AGENCY FUND Fund 561
Return to Table of Contents Page | 242

The responsibilities of the Housing Successor Agency fall within the Financial Services Department.

Effective January 1, 2012, Redevelopment Agencies (RDAs) in California were formerly dissolved. The affordable housing functions of the former RDAs were assigned to Housing Successor Agencies (HSA). Most commonly, the City or County created the HSA, either directly or through its own housing authority, if appl icable. In the case of Cathedral City, the City chose to retain and manage the housing assets of the former redevelopment agency and were assumed by the City, as such the City serves as the HSA.

Unlike when RDAs existed in the State of California, which allowed a 20% allocation of tax increment to be used for housing related activities, the City has no current consistent revenue stream to support active housing related activities. As such, previo usly secured Housing real estate was marketed for liquidation. All proceeds from real estate sales have been consolidated to provide limited assistance in monitoring these 1,770 units in Cathedral City:

• Casa San Miguel – 39 units for special needs
• Casa Victoria – 50 units for low-income seniors over 62 • Cathedral Palms – 231 units – all senior
• Cathedral Towne Villas – 61 units for families with moderate income • Creekside Apartments – 185 units for low and very low-income families • Heritage Park – 153 units for low-income seniors over 55 • Mountain View – 280 units for seniors 62+ with disabilities • Northwoods (Canyon Vista) Apartments – 90 units with 46 low-income units • Nova Ocotillo Place – 135 units with 108 moderate to high income and 27 units very low • Park David Apartments – 240 units for low-income seniors over 55. • River Canyon Apartments – 60 units for extremely low, very low and low-income families • Terracina Apartments – 80 units for low to moderate income families • Tierra Del Sol – 75 units for very low-income senior households over 62 • Veterans Village – 60 total units with 59 units for senior households for military veterans • Coachella Valley Housing Coalition (CVHC) for 16 Bank -owned duplexes and converted to 32 affordable, single family, owner-occupied units.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) PLAN - DESCRIPTIONS
Return to Table of Contents Page | 273

The City’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan is submitted to the City Council for review. The projects have been prioritized by those being planned for a given fiscal year. Projects included in the CIP budget are generally those with costs exceeding $50,000, lasting more than three months, and/or involving construction.

Capital projects are long-term improvement and maintenance programs designed to increase the City’s assets (physical systems and/or facilities) and preserve those already in place. The programs are broad, and can include land and building acquisitions, street and sidewalk rehabilitation, blow sand mitigation, interchange improvements, traffic signalization, sewer construction and park improvements and/or major renovations.

This document includes both capital improvement and capital maintenance projects. Capital improvements boost economic development by attracting new businesses and new customers, which bring an increased vitality to the City. Because they are easily identified and are location specific, capital improvements are often the most visible municipal activities.

Conversely, capital maintenance is a city service commonly taken for granted. Most users do not recognize the deterioration of a facility or roadway until significant damage has been done. This makes capital maintenance easy to postpone (deferred) when budgets are tight and demands for more visible City programs and services are high.

Delays in maintenance create greater costs in future years because expensive reconstruction or replacement of assets must be completed rather than the less expensive preservation efforts.

Projects increasing the number of facilities or expanding the existing facilities can impact ongoing operating costs for the City. Any operating impacts from projects expected to be completed prior to the start of or during FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027 have been included in the operating budget, e.g., a new park. Most capital projects funded in FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027 do not add to the cost of operations. Those projects are major replacements or maintenance projects for existing facilities or infrastructure.

There are no significant operating expenditures expected during the next two-year period for capital projects included in the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan.

The Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan detail and the budget summary by fund for current and new projects are included on the pages following these project descriptions and funding sources
