SUBJECT: Budget Workshop on Fiscal Year 2026 Proposed Budget RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council review and discuss Fiscal Year 2026 Proposed Budget, as presented by the City Manger and Finance Director. This is a discussion item, and no formal action is being requested at this time.
I. BACKGROUND:
Each fiscal year, the City develops a comprehensive budget that outlines projected revenues, planned expenditures, and strategic priorities. Th is budget serves as a vital tool to promote transparency, ensure fiscal accountability, and align resources with the City Council’s goals and the priorities of Ceres’ residents.
Beyond serving as a financial roadmap, the budget is also an essential planning tool. It helps guide the allocation of limited resources, supports long-term strategic planning, and provides a framework for evaluating service delivery and performance across departments. By carefully planning and prioritizing expenditures, the City can more effectively respond to the evolving needs of the community while maintaining fiscal sustainability.
The City of Ceres is currently facing a $ 1,961,097 budget deficit. Last year, the City Council passed a balanced budget by utilizing one -time resources: the City’s reserves and federal relief funding. The reserves function as a “rainy -day” fund, intended for emergencies or urgent needs, not to cover ongoi ng shortfalls. Similarly, federal dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) were time -limited and subject to strict federal spending deadlines, and those funds have now been fully exhausted. As these temporary sources are no longer available, the City must explore long -term solutions to ensure our community remains self -reliant to maintain fiscal stability and protect the vital City services residents expect and deserve.
Tonight’s presentation will focus primarily on the General Fund. The General Fund supports essential local public services such as public safety, parks and recreation, street repair and maintenance, and general government operations. Given its central role in daily City functions, a detailed review of the General Fund provides important insight into how the City plans to meet community needs in Fiscal Year 2026.
II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Tonight’s workshop offers the City Council a comprehensive overview of the Fiscal Year 2026 Proposed Budget. It also serves as an opportunity for Council feedback and a forum for community input. This workshop is a key step in the budget adoption process , with final approval scheduled for June 23, 2025.
III. FISCAL IMPACTS:
This is a discussion item. No fiscal impact is associated with this workshop.
IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
N/A
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:
This is a discussion item. No formal action is being requested at the time.
VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The development of the FY 2026 Proposed Budget was a collaborative effort across all City departments. Each department actively participated by preparing and submitting its individual budget request s, ensuring that they aligned with operational needs and available resources.
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
This budget workshop serves as the main opportunity for public involvement in the development of the Fiscal Year 2026 Proposed Budget. As part of our responsible budgeting best practices , the City Council and staff encourage input from residents, stakeholders, and community members , reinforcing the City’s commitment to a transparent and inclusive process . During these challenging times, the City wants to continue robust engagement with the community – to hear from them and keep the dialogue open as we work together to maintain Ceres’ quality of life.
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
N/A
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
Finance Staff will use the feedback received from the City Council and the community to refine and finalize the F iscal Year 2026 Proposed Budget. The next step in the process is the formal adoption of the budget, scheduled for June 23, 2025.

The professional staff of the Police Department consist s of the Records Division, Dispatch, Property and Evidence, Code Enforcement, and Abandon Vehicle Abatement (AVA) units.
Records is the initial point of contact when entering the lobby of the Police Department and assists the public in both English and Spanish. The Department provides copies of police reports, vehicle releases, and information related to citations.
The Ceres Police Department's Dispatch Center functi ons around the clock, 24/7, to provide police related services to the communities of Ceres and Newman in emergency and non-emergency situations. Dispatchers are tasked with receiving the initial incident information and organizing the correct agencies and resources to address a wide variety of situations.

FUTURE GOALS
This year’s goal is to fill all vacant positions and create a stable work environment. The department is focused on employee wellness and committ ed to a continued healthy working environment by providing various options for employees to choose from.

DEPARTMENT FUNCTION
The Ceres Police Department's Code Enforcement Unit is responsible for ensuring private properties and public grounds comply with our municipal codes through education and enforcement methods.
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The City’s Code Enforcement Unit successfully identified and abated numerous illegal dump sites and homeless encampments, while also completing several significant clean -up projects across the city. Additionally, they conducted inspections, issued notices of violations, handled public nuisance calls, and issued citations to illegal street vendors.
The Code Enforcement team played a crucial role in organizing and staffing the Third Annual Community Disposal Day, and actively participated in Love Ceres by contributing to various clean-up efforts. Furthermore, they efficiently disposed of tons of trash throughout the city.
Code Enforcement staff works collaboratively with Automobile Ab atement Officers, Streets Department staff, and our Graffiti Abatement contractor. They have also diligently pursued Code Enforcement certification through the California Code Enforcement Officers Association (CACEO) via module training courses while completing various safety training programs to ensure safer abatement projects.
FUTURE GOALS
Code Enforcement will continue to investigate violations of housing, zoning, vehicle abatement, and general laws.
The Department will work to achieve compliance through education and notification. Continue to use legal procedures when all else fails in gaining compliance, remove nuisances and rubbish, and issue civil and criminal citations. The goal will be to continue to improve the quality of life and property values for the residents and business owners of Ceres.

DEPARTMENT FUNCTION
The Wastewater System Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the City of Ceres' Wastewater Treatment Plant and Wastewater Collection System. The division plays a critical role in protecting public health and the environment by ensuring the safe and efficient treatment and disposal of wastewater.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant processes over 2.7 million gallons of wastewater per day. Division staff are responsible for maintaining all operational systems of the plant, managing more than 190 acres of percolation and evaporation basins and surrounding grounds, and overseeing 14 lift stations and approximately 133 miles of pipeline within the City's collection system. In support of the City’s sustainability goals, all landscaping at the treatment plant is irrigated using reclaimed wastewater.
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Wastewater Division successfully completed 66 service requests and conducted routine maintenance by cleaning
61.51 miles of sewer mainlines. Utilizing advanced camera inspection technology, staff video-inspected 9.73 miles of existing sewer trunk lines to identify problem areas and prioritize necessary improvements. In addition, the team overhauled, maintained, and replaced several pond aerators at the Wastewater Treatment Plant to enhance the treatment process and improve Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) levels.
FUTURE GOALS
The Wastewater Division is preparing to update the City’s Sewer Master Plan (SMP) and Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) to guide future development, maintenance, and system improvements. As part of the City's long- term infrastructure goals, the division is also planning significant upgrades to the existing Wastewater Treatment Plant.
These improvements will transition the facility into a tertiary treatment system, enhancing water quality and regulatory compliance. Additionally, the project will include the installation of a solar power field to support sustainable energy use and reduce operational costs.

By providing safe and secure spaces to learn, play, create and imagine, the department is continuously striving to meet the needs of the community and enhance the quality of life in Ceres.
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The heart o
f the Ceres Recreation Department revolves around the community and its recreation programs. The Ceres Recreation staff understands how vital recreation is to the community and has continued to work tirelessly year-round to expand, improve, and grow these programs. Throughout the year, the Recreation Department offered several large City events that included Concerts in the park, Trunk or Treat, the Christmas Festival and Parade, Easter Event, and the Hot Air Balloon Event. These events cumulatively brought in 80+ vendors, 10,000 + attendees and several other festivities.

Additionally, the Department launched
the creation of a Night Market, providing an exciting new space for local vendors, entertainment, and community engagement during the evening hours. This initiative reflects a continued effort to offer dynamic, inclusive programming that appeals to a wide range of residents.

PROPERTY TAX – Property Tax is imposed on real property (land and permanently attached improvements such as buildings) and tangible personal property (movable property) located within the City. Property is appraised at the 1975–76 base year value and is adjusted each year after 1975 by a 2% inflation factor.
When property changes ownership, it is reassessed at current market value. Proposition 13 limited the property tax to 1% of assessed valuation. The County collects the tax and remits to the City when the tax is due. The City is on the Teeter Plan and receives three payments from the County each year, based on the property tax roll, not collections. The State has been shifting property tax to the schools since the 1992–93 fiscal year.
SALES AND USE TAX – Sales and use tax is imposed on retailers for the privilege of selling at retail, within the City limits. The tax is based on the sales price of any taxable transaction of tangible personal property.

0.95% of its local 1% share, and the County gets the remaining 0.05%.
