STAFF REPORT
8/26/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Gustavo J. Romo, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Kendra Reif, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Second Reading of Ordinance No. 1231 Adding Chapter 17.92 to Title XVII of the Coachella Municipal Code to Prohibit Data Center Uses Within the City of Coachella
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 1231, thus completing the adoption of the Ordinance adding Chapter 17.92 to Title XVII of the Coachella Municipal Code to Prohibit Data Center Uses Within the City of Coachella.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:

On August 12, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing regarding the Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 1231, which proposes a City-wide prohibition on Data Center Uses.

Following publication of the staff report, City staff reviewed the public comments received and noticed several recurring requests regarding the proposed ordinance. In response, and in consultation with the City Attorney’s Office, staff made several revisions to provide additional clarity and to address public comments, while maintaining the ordinance’s overall purpose of prohibiting Data Center Uses within the City. The revised ordinance was highlighted in staff’s presentation and copies of the updated version of the ordinance was made available to the City Council and public during the meeting. The ordinance, as introduced and voted on by Council, is provided as Attachment 1 to this staff report.

The August 12th public hearing was preceded by the July 15, 2026, Planning Commission public hearing recommending adoption of the Ordinance to the City Council. Prior to the Planning Commission public hearing, the City Council had adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1229, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, establishing a temporary 45-day moratorium on Data Center development, followed by an extension of the moratorium on July 8, 2026, for an additional 10 months and 15 days.

Item 6.
80237.00000\45226444.1
80237.00000\45267400.1
CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 1231, adding Chapter 17.92 to Title XVII of the Coachella Municipal Code to prohibit data center uses within the City of Coachella, and adopt the Ordinance. If adopted, the Ordinance will become effective 30 days following today’s action.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COACHELLA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 17.92 TO TITLE XVII OF THE COACHELLA

MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROHIBIT DATA CENTER USES WITHIN THE CITY

OF COACHELLA
WHEREAS, Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution authorizes cities to adopt and enforce ordinances and regulations to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, the City of Coachella possesses broad police powers to regulate land uses and development within its jurisdiction in order to protect public health, safety, welfare, and the environment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is authorized pursuant to Government Code Sections 65850, 65853, 65854, and 65860 to adopt and amend zoning regulations governing the use of land within the City; and
WHEREAS, advances in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital storage, cryptocurrency processing, and related technologies have resulted in a substantial increase in proposals for large-scale Data Center Uses throughout California and the western United States; and
WHEREAS, Data Centers differ substantially from traditional office, industrial, warehouse, research and development, and commercial uses because they may operate continuously on a twenty-four-hour basis and require extensive electrical, cooling, telecommunications, and utility infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, Data Centers commonly consume extraordinary quantities of electricity and water and may require substantial investments in substations, transmission facilities, backup generation systems, battery storage systems, cooling systems, and other supporting infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that Data Centers may create substantial demands on local electrical infrastructure and utility systems and may affect future utility planning, infrastructure capacity, and long-term electrical reliability within the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that Data Centers may require substantial quantities of potable and recycled water for cooling and operational purposes; and WHEREAS, the Coachella Valley is located within a region subject to long-term water supply constraints, groundwater sustainability requirements, recurring drought conditions, climaterelated water resource challenges, and increasing demands upon limited water resources; and

City of Coachella
Ordinance No. 1231

80237.00000\45226439.1
80237.00000\45267401.2
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that preservation of available water supplies for residential neighborhoods, schools, parks, public facilities, businesses, emergency services, agricultural operations, and future community development constitutes a significant public purpose; and

80237.00000\45267401.2

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COACHELLA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The City Council hereby finds that all of the foregoing recitals presented herewith are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council.

SECTION 2. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY FINDINGS
The City Council hereby finds that this Ordinance is consistent with, advances, and implements the goals and policies of the City of Coachella General Plan, including but not limited to the following:

A. Land Use Element Policy 7.3 (Heavy Industry)
Policy 7.3 provides that heavy industrial uses should be located in locations that do not affect sensitive uses.

The City Council finds that Data Center Uses frequently involve industrial-scale cooling systems, substations, transformers, backup generators, battery storage systems, fuel storage systems, and related infrastructure capable of generating noise, vibration, heat, emissions, lighting, and other operational impacts. Prohibiting such facilities citywide promotes Policy 7.3 by protecting residential neighborhoods, schools, parks, childcare facilities, places of worship, and other sensitive land uses from potential adverse impacts associated with industrial-scale infrastructure.

B. Land Use Element Policy 7.4 (Impact of Industrial Development) Policy 7.4 requires industrial development to be designed for compatibility with surrounding uses and to minimize impacts on neighboring properties.

The City Council finds that Data Centers are unique industrial-scale facilities that operate continuously and require extensive utility infrastructure, cooling systems, backup power systems, and related facilities that may not be compatible with surrounding land uses. Prohibiting Data Centers promotes Policy 7.4 by ensuring that future industrial development within the City remains compatible with surrounding neighborhoods and community-serving uses.

C. Land Use Element Policy 7.5 (Industrial Compatibility) Policy 7.5 requires industrial projects to be designed to limit impacts on residential areas.

The City Council finds that construction and operation of Data Centers may involve substantial infrastructure installation, utility improvements, equipment deliveries, maintenance activities, and supporting industrial operations that may adversely affect nearby residential areas. Prohibiting Data Centers promotes Policy 7.5 by preventing industrial-scale impacts from affecting existing and planned residential neighborhoods.

D. Fiscal Sustainability Policy 13.1 (Fiscal Impact Assessment)

Item 6.

City of Coachella
Ordinance No. 1231

80237.00000\45226439.1
80237.00000\45267401.2
Policy 13.1 requires evaluation of fiscal impacts associated with major development projects.

The City Council finds that Data Centers may require substantial public and private investment in utility infrastructure, electrical systems, emergency response resources, and public facilities while generating comparatively limited permanent employment opportunities and economic multipliers.

This Ordinance promotes Policy 13.1 by ensuring that future development occurs in a manner that supports long-term fiscal sustainability.

E. Fiscal Sustainability Policy 13.2 (Development Fees) Policy 13.2 seeks to maintain the fiscal health of the City and ensure adequate funding of public facilities and services.

The City Council finds that Data Centers may create demands on infrastructure and public services that are disproportionate to the economic and fiscal benefits generated by such facilities.

Prohibiting Data Centers promotes Policy 13.2 by preserving public infrastructure capacity and reducing the potential need for significant public investment associated with such facilities.

F. Fiscal Sustainability Policy 13.3 (Efficient Growth) Policy 13.3 directs the City to manage growth in a manner that is fiscally sustainable and protects and enhances community values.

The City Council finds that preservation of limited industrial land, utility capacity, infrastructure resources, and water resources for employment-generating and community-serving development is consistent with fiscally sustainable growth and protection of community values. Prohibiting Data Centers promotes Policy 13.3 by preserving finite resources for future development opportunities that more directly advance the City's economic and community objectives.

G. Fiscal Sustainability Policy 13.4 (Diverse Tax Base) Policy 13.4 promotes the establishment of a diverse and sustainable tax base.

The City Council finds that Data Centers generally generate fewer permanent jobs and limited sales tax revenues when compared to commercial, industrial, manufacturing, hospitality, research and development, and mixed-use developments. Prohibiting Data Centers promotes Policy 13.4 by preserving development opportunities that contribute more significantly to employment growth, economic diversification, and tax revenue generation.

H. Fiscal Sustainability Policy 13.7 (Fiscal Impacts of Infrastructure) Policy 13.7 discourages developments requiring the construction of new infrastructure across large expanses of undeveloped areas.

The City Council finds that large-scale Data Centers frequently require substantial electrical transmission facilities, substations, distribution systems, telecommunications infrastructure, cooling

City of Coachella
Ordinance No. 1231

80237.00000\45226439.1

systems, and related utility improvements. Prohibiting Data Centers promotes Policy 13.7 by discouraging development that may require extensive infrastructure expansion and significant utility investments.

I. Public Services Element Policy 1.10 (Minimized Environmental Impacts) Policy 1.10 directs utilities to be located and designed to avoid or minimize impacts to environmentally sensitive resources and habitats.

The City Council finds that Data Centers frequently require extensive utility infrastructure, including substations, transmission facilities, cooling systems, battery storage systems, backup generation systems, and related improvements. Prohibiting Data Centers promotes Policy 1.10 by reducing the potential need for utility infrastructure that may adversely affect environmental resources and by supporting responsible infrastructure planning.

J. Conservation and Resource Stewardship
The General Plan promotes the responsible stewardship of natural resources, efficient use of infrastructure, and sustainable growth.

The City Council finds that Data Centers commonly consume substantial quantities of electricity and water for operational and cooling purposes. Prohibiting Data Centers promotes the General Plan's resource conservation objectives by preserving finite water supplies and utility capacity for residential, commercial, public service, agricultural, and employment-generating uses.

K. Economic Development and Employment Objectives
The General Plan encourages economic development that creates employment opportunities, promotes workforce development, diversifies the local economy, and expands the City's tax base.

The City Council finds that industrial and employment-designated lands within the City constitute a limited resource that should be preserved for uses generating substantial employment opportunities and community benefits. Prohibiting Data Centers promotes these objectives by preserving land and infrastructure capacity for development that more effectively advances the City's economic development goals.

L. Overall General Plan Consistency
The City Council finds that this Ordinance promotes sustainable growth, fiscal sustainability, environmental stewardship, infrastructure efficiency, economic opportunity, public health, community character, and quality of life. Accordingly, the City Council finds that this Ordinance is consistent with and furthers the goals, policies, and implementation measures of the City of Coachella General Plan.

SECTION 3. CHAPTER 17.92 ADDED TO TITLE XVII OF THE COACHELLA MUNICIPAL CODE.

City of Coachella
Ordinance No. 1231

80237.00000\45226439.1
80237.00000\45267401.2
Title XVII of the Coachella Municipal Code is hereby amended to add Chapter 17.92 to read in its entirety as follows:

CHAPTER 17.92 – DATA CENTERS

17.92.010 – Intent and Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to protect the public health, safety, general welfare, natural resources, infrastructure capacity, community character, and quality of life in the city. The city council finds that Data Centers are not compatible with surrounding uses in any zone of the city because of the extraordinary demand they place on the city’s electrical, water, and telecommunication infrastructure. In addition, the city council finds that the operation of Data Centers may generate noise, vibrations, heat, emissions, and hazardous materials. Furthermore, the city council finds that Data Centers may require specialized fire protection measures, hazardous materials response capabilities, electrical infrastructure protection measures, and emergency response resources. Based on the foregoing, the city council has determined that the operational characteristics of Data Centers can create public health, environmental, emergency response, and land use compatibility concerns that differ substantially from those associated with traditional commercial and industrial development. As a result, the city council finds that prohibiting Data Centers throughout the City is necessary to protect public health, safety, general welfare, natural resources, infrastructure capacity, community character, and quality of life in the city.

17.92.020 – Definitions.

A “Data Center” means a structure or site used primarily for the storage, management, processing, and transmission of digital data and that houses computer or network equipment, systems, servers, appliances, and other associated components related to digital data storage, processing, and related operations. “Data Center Uses” include data storage facilities, small data storage facilities, server farms, artificial intelligence training or processing, image processing, cloud computing, email servicing, and other similar uses and appurtenant facilities. A Data Center does not include a "wireless communication facility" or a "communication equipment building" as defined in Section 17.86.020 and Section 17.06.040 of this code.

17.92.030 – Prohibition on Data Centers.

Data Centers are prohibited throughout the city. No person shall permit, establish, or operate a Data Center at any property within any zone of the city.

17.92.040 – Exemptions.

The following shall not be considered prohibited uses under this chapter: accessory server rooms, data processing equipment, or information technology facilities that are incidental, subordinate, and specifically related to a permitted principal use. Operation of a server room for purposes unrelated to the permitted principal use on a property is prohibited. “Accessory Server Room,” “Data Processing Equipment,” or “Information Technology Facility” means an enclosed room, suite, or other accessory space containing computer servers,

data storage equipment, network switching equipment, telecommunications equipment, and related supporting equipment, including cooling, electrical, backup power, and security systems.

17.92.050 – Nonconforming Uses.

No use prohibited by this chapter shall be established after the effective date of this chapter.

Any lawfully established use existing prior to the effective date of this chapter shall be subject to Chapter 17.78 of this code.

17.92.060 – Enforcement.

The Community Development Director, Building Official, Code Enforcement Division, and City Attorney are authorized to enforce the provisions of this chapter.

Any violation of this chapter is designated as a misdemeanor and a public nuisance. The nuisance may be enjoined or otherwise abated by the city in the manner prescribed by Title 3 of this code and any other applicable provision of state or local law.

SECTION 4. CEQA DETERMINATION.

The City Council finds that this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3), 15060(c)(2), and 15060(c)(3), because the prohibition of a category of development will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.

Pursuant to Chapter 8.24 of the code, for all permitted projects within the City, the City shall follow all applicable procedural and statutory requirements of the CEQA Guidelines.

SECTION 5. CONSTRUCTION.

This Ordinance must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.

SECTION 6. CONFLICTS
In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Ordinance and the provisions the code, any other ordinance, or any resolution, the provisions of this Ordinance govern. The Community Development Director, or designee, is authorized to resolve any ambiguities in the manner set forth in the code. The City Manager and City Attorney are authorized to undertake all reasonable actions needed to implement this Ordinance to prohibit data centers.

SECTION 7. SEVERABILITY.

If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, or clause or phrase in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective by any court of competent

STAFF REPORT
8/26/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Lincoln G. Bogard, Finance Director
PREPARED BY: Lincoln G. Bogard, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Receive and File the City of Coachella Fiscal Year 2026-27 Adopted Annual Budget Document
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

This item presents the finalized City of Coachella Fiscal Year 2026-27 Adopted Annual Budget document for the City Council's receipt and filing. The document reflects the FY 2026-27 budget adopted by the City Council on June 24, 2026, compiled into a comprehensive, publicly accessible budget book consistent with the criteria of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the City of Coachella Fiscal Year 2026- 27 Adopted Annual Budget document and direct staff to submit the document to the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. This is a receive and file item. The FY 2026-27 budget, including all associated appropriations, was previously adopted by the City Council on June 24, 2026 (Resolution Nos. 2026-41 and 2026-42). No additional fiscal action is requested at this time.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Following the City Council's adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget on June 24, 2026, the Finance Department has completed a comprehensive budget document that compiles the City's financial policies, all-funds financial schedules, departmental information, capital improvement program, long-term debt disclosures, and community statistical information into a single, publicly accessible document.

Item 7.

This budget document was prepared to meet the criteria of the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program. The City received this award for its Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget, and staff expects the FY 2026-27 document, informed directly by the detailed reviewer feedback received on last year's submission, to again receive this recognition.

BACKGROUND:

California Government Code Section 37208 requires the City Council to adopt an annual budget establishing appropriations for City operations. Preparation of the FY 2026-27 budget began with department budget requests earlier in calendar year 2026, followed by City Council budget study sessions in spring 2026 addressing the City's strategic priorities and financial policies, and culminated in the City Council's adoption of the FY 2026-27 budget on June 24, 2026.

Beyond the required appropriations document, the Finance Department each year compiles the adopted budget into a comprehensive budget document intended to serve as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communications device for residents, the City Council, and other interested parties, consistent with the framework established by the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program.

The City's FY 2025-26 budget document received the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, and the detailed reviewer comments on that submission directly informed the preparation of this year's document.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The FY 2026-27 Adopted Annual Budget document includes, among other elements:
• A City Manager's Budget Message describing the City's strategic priorities, budgetary challenges, and significant changes between the proposed and adopted budget; • A statement of the City's financial policies, including its definition of a balanced budget, fund balance and reserve policies, and investment, debt, and capital asset policies; • All-funds financial schedules presenting four years of comparative revenue and expenditure data by fund, revenue type, and expenditure category, along with projected fund balances for every major fund;
• Departmental information for all General Fund divisions, including function narratives, goals and objectives, and performance measures;
• A long-term debt section presenting the City's legal debt limit, debt service requirements through final maturity, and underlying credit ratings;
• The City's five-year Capital Improvement Plan and individual capital project detail sheets; • A community profile and statistical section, and a glossary of budget and financial terms.

This document reflects extensive collaboration across every City department. Staff extends its sincere appreciation to the City's department directors and to the Finance Department team for their contributions to a document that staff believes represents a meaningful improvement over prior years' submissions, particularly in the areas identified by GFOA reviewers in their comments on the FY 2025-26 submission.

Item 7.

Staff intends to submit the FY 2026-27 budget document to the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program following City Council's receipt and filing of this item.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends Council Receive and file the FY 2026-27 Adopted Annual Budget document and direct staff to submit it to the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program.

Is the budget balanced? Yes. The City defines a balanced budget as appropriations that do not exceed available resources for each fund. On an operating basis — setting aside a one-time $534,026 transfer to fund capital projects — the General Fund is running a modest surplus for FY 2026-27, continuing several years of careful fiscal management.

Where the Money Goes
General Fund spending is grouped into five functional
areas. General Government — which includes citywide
transfers to the Debt Service Fund, the Fire Protection District, and the Capital Projects Fund, in addition to City administration — is the largest category, followed closely by Public Safety, which funds the City's contract with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, animal control, and emergency management.

What's New This Year
A few changes set the FY 2026-27 budget apart, some carried through from the City Manager's original recommended budget and some added by the Council during spring 2026 budget study sessions:
1 A New Community Services Division
A newly created division, led by a new Community Services Manager position, now oversees the City's recreation programs and Senior Center. 2 Two More Motor Officers on Patrol
Two new patrol motorcycles; one officer reassigned to motor duty, one new officer position added. 3 A Fairer Split of Shared Costs
A restructured Cost Allocation Plan now recovers about $4.7 million from the Water Authority and Sanitary District for shared administrative support. 4 A Closer Look at Public Works Requests
The Council reduced several requested Public Works increases that were not fully justified during budget study sessions. 5 Updated Revenue Projections
Certain General Fund tax revenue estimates were increased from the originally proposed budget based on more current projections.

Keeping Coachella Financially Healthy
The City Council's financial policies keep the General Fund's savings — called “unassigned fund balance” — at 35% of
budgeted expenditures, well above the 25% floor
recommended by the Government Finance Officers
Association. That reserve gives the City a cushion against economic downturns and unexpected costs without sudden
service cuts.

Managing Debt Responsibly
The City carries no general obligation bonded debt — the type that pledges the City's general taxing power and counts against California's legal debt limit. All City debt is secured either by a specific revenue source (like water and sewer rates) or by lease or pension obligation bonds. The City has used none of its $116.4 million legal debt capacity.

CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF COACHELLA

COUNCIL FOR THE COACHELLA SANITARY DISTRICT

COUNCIL FOR THE COACHELLA FINANCING AUTHORITY

COUNCIL FOR THE COACHELLA WATER AUTHORITY

COUNCIL FOR THE EDUCATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL ACCESS CABLE CHANNEL CORPORATION

COUNCIL FOR THE COACHELLA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council, also acting as Board Members and Council Members for the respective Boards:

Introduction and Summary
I am pleased to submit for your consideration the Adopted Annual Budget for the City of Coachella and its component units for Fiscal Year 2026-27 (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027). This document presents the City’s financial plan in full detail, including line-item revenues and expenditures for each General Fund division and all other funds, sourced directly from the Revenue ALL and Expenses ALL worksheets of the adopted budget workbook.

For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the City of Coachella and its component units have budgeted revenues of $227,688,670 and appropriations of $250,324,567 across all funds. The City’s General Fund has budgeted revenues of $47,396,127 and expenditure appropriations of $47,622,254, resulting in a reported deficit of $226,127; when the $534,026 General Fund transfer to the Capital Projects Fund (Fund 182) is treated as capital investment rather than an operating expense, the General Fund reflects an operating surplus of approximately $307,899. The City enters the fiscal year with an audited General Fund balance of $42,391,376 (June 30, 2025), including a $9.8 million committed fiscal contingency reserve — well above the City’s 20% policy threshold. Details are provided in the schedules and tables that follow.

History
During fiscal years 2024-25 and 2025-26, the City of Coachella continued its steady recovery and diversification of its revenue base. Measure U, a voter-approved 1% sales tax rate increase adopted in November 2014, together with Measure A local transportation funding, remain critical to the General Fund’s stability. Over this same period the City continued to absorb steep increases in its contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff and Riverside County/Cal Fire for police and fire services, a trend that continues into FY 2026-27: Police Services is budgeted at $14,299,835, an increase of $781,666 (5.8%) over the FY 2025-26 estimated year-end total, and the General Fund transfer supporting the Coachella Fire Protection District (Fund 240) is budgeted at $3,881,944 for FY 2026-27, covering approximately 60% of Fire District operating costs.

Challenges and Priorities
Public Safety Cost Increase
Increases in public safety costs continue to be the City’s most significant budgetary challenge. Riverside County’s continuous increases to contracted police and fire services are limiting the resources available to address capital needs, deferred maintenance, and operations at existing and future facilities. For FY 2026-27, Police Services and the Fire District transfer together represent more than 38% of General Fund appropriations. The City anticipates these cost pressures will continue as Riverside County shifts additional cost recovery for contracted police services onto its contract cities. Vigilance over the structural deficit will remain necessary through FY 2036- 37, when retirement of the former Redevelopment Agency’s outstanding bonds is projected to release more than $3.4 million per year in Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) distributions for General Fund use.

Item 7.

City of Coachella | Adopted Annual Budget | Fiscal Year 2026-27 53990 Enterprise Way, Coachella, CA 92236 | (760) 398-3502 Page 9 To address this challenge, the City is not simply absorbing these cost increases: the FY 2026-27 Cost Allocation Plan restructuring recovers approximately $4.7 million in Transfers In from the Water Authority and Sanitary District enterprise funds for administrative and overhead services (see Cost Allocation Policy), the Council’s 35% General Fund reserve policy — well above the 25% floor generally recommended under GFOA best practice — provides a cushion against these pressures (see Fund Balance Classification and Reserve Policy), and the City distinguishes capital investment (such as the $534,026 transfer to the Capital Projects Fund) from ongoing operating costs so that one-time capital decisions are not mistaken for structural imbalance (see Definition of a Balanced Budget).

The FY 2026-27 budget also reflects several priorities that differ from the current year: two additional patrol motorcycles and one additional patrol officer for Police Services, and a newly created Community Services Division led by a new Community Services Manager position focused on residents’ quality of life (see Budget Presentation Sessions and the Quality of Life Enhancements strategic goal, below).

Summary of Changes: Proposed to Adopted Budget
Following the Council budget study sessions described above, the City Manager's recommended (proposed) budget for FY 2026-27 was revised in several respects before final adoption on June 24, 2026:

Public Works expense reductions — Several requested increases in Public Works division budgets included in the proposed budget were not adequately justified to the Council's satisfaction during the study sessions and were reduced prior to adoption. The division-level figures presented throughout this document reflect the adopted, post-reduction amounts.

Community Services Division — The newly created Community Services Division, led by a new Community Services Manager position, was added during the Council's review of the proposed budget and is reflected in the adopted budget as presented in this document.

Police motor patrol staffing — The proposed budget was revised to add two patrol motorcycles for Police Services. Of the associated staffing, one existing patrol officer was transferred to motor duty and one additional patrol officer position was added to motor duty, together staffing both new motorcycles.

General Fund discretionary revenue — Certain discretionary General Fund revenue estimates (principally tax revenue) were increased from the proposed budget based on updated projections available prior to adoption, consistent with the revenue trends and assumptions described in the Description of Revenue Sources section of this document.

None of these revisions altered the General Fund's balanced-budget status; the adopted budget continues to comply with the City's financial policies as described in the Financial Policies section of this document.

Strategic Goals
The City Council and staff use five organization-wide strategic goals to guide budget decisions. Each division's “Key Achievements” and “Goals & Objectives” elsewhere in this document (Sections E through I) support one or more of these five goals. The goals were derived from the City's adopted “Our Values” statement -- which commits the organization to Quality Service, valuing its Employees, Ethical Conduct, Innovation, Leadership, Teamwork, Trust, Community Involvement, and Traditions and Heritage -- and were presented to and discussed with the City Council at the April 29, 2026 budget workshop and refined through the subsequent budget study sessions.

Public Safety
Safe residents, every day.

Ensure residents and visitors are safe through well-resourced police and fire services, code enforcement, and emergency preparedness.

Economic Development
Jobs, business, and opportunity.

Attract and retain businesses, expand the local job base, and support workforce development to broaden and diversify the City's economy.

Financial Stabilization

Item 7.

City of Coachella | Adopted Annual Budget | Fiscal Year 2026-27 53990 Enterprise Way, Coachella, CA 92236 | (760) 398-3502 Page 10 Discipline and long-range vision.

Maintain a structurally balanced budget, adequate reserves, and sound long-term financial policies so the City can weather economic cycles and plan confidently for the future.

Employee Development
Our team is our strategy.

Invest in recruiting, training, and retaining a skilled, motivated workforce, consistent with the City's adopted Employees value statement.

Quality of Life Enhancements
A city to be proud of.

Improve parks, recreation, streets, and community programs -- including the new FY 2026-27 Community Services Division -- so residents experience a visibly improving community.

Every dollar in this budget is intended to serve one of these five goals.

Types and Levels of Service
To translate these goals into action, the City classifies its services along two dimensions. Service types describe what the City provides: Mandated (legally required, non-negotiable), Core (essential daily city functions), and Discretionary (reflects community values and priorities). Service levels describe how well the City provides it:

Basic (meets minimum standard), Enhanced (exceeds baseline expectations), and Optimum (best-in-class). The FY 2026-27 budget is intended to move key services from Basic toward Enhanced and Optimum levels as resources allow, consistent with the strategic goals above.

A Note on Performance Measures
This is the first year the City has included department-level performance measures throughout this document (see each division’s Performance Measures entries in Sections E, G, and H). Because these measures are new for FY 2026-27, most do not yet carry three years of historical data; staff expects to build out that history over the next two to three budget cycles and will consider revising some measures this year to ensure each one is specifically, objectively measurable before the data-collection process begins in earnest.

Economic Forecasts
The City of Coachella endeavors to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to minimize the effects of economic fluctuations; all estimates are conservative. General Fund revenues are categorized into seven broad categories: taxes, licenses and permits, charges for services, intergovernmental, fines and forfeitures, interest and other revenue, and transfers in from other funds. The vast majority of General Fund revenue is derived from taxes and is discretionary in nature. Taxes are budgeted at $30,892,570 for FY 2026-27, an increase of $1,462,493 (4.97%) over the FY 2025-26 estimated year-end amount. Transfers In are budgeted at $11,029,760 for FY 2026-27, reflecting approximately $4.7 million in new Cost Allocation Plan (2 CFR Part 200) recoveries from the Water Authority and Sanitary District enterprise funds for administrative and overhead services performed by General Fund departments on their behalf.

The General Fund's operating position narrowed steadily as the budget moved through the City's three-touch budget process before final adoption:

April 29, 2026 (First Budget Study Session): Staff presented a preliminary General Fund operating shortfall of approximately $1.3 million, driven in part by the transition to the 2 CFR 200 Cost Allocation Plan. The City Council provided initial feedback and direction; no formal Council-requested additions had yet been incorporated.

After incorporating all items requested by the Council at the first study session, the shortfall temporarily grew to approximately $2.1 million. Staff identified savings and revenue refinements that narrowed the remaining gap to approximately $450,000, with two items still pending incorporation: a Fire Department budget revision received June 1, 2026, and a request for an additional server to extend security-camera video storage to 365 days.

June 24, 2026 (Adoption): The final adopted budget incorporates both pending items along with additional balancing measures identified by staff, resulting in the $226,127 reported General Fund operating deficit presented throughout this document -- which reflects an operating surplus of approximately $307,899 when the $534,026 transfer to the Capital Projects Fund is treated as capital investment rather than an operating expense, as discussed in the Financial Policies section.

No changes in service levels, fees, or taxes resulted from this process beyond those already described above and in the Description of Revenue Sources section.

Other Funds
The City has various funds and special districts that are designated subdivisions of the General Fund or classified as component units, all governed by the Coachella City Council: the Coachella Sanitary District (Fund 361), Coachella Water Authority (Fund 178), Coachella Fire Protection District (Fund 240), and Community Facilities District 2005-1 Police Services (Fund 242). As enterprise funds, the Water Authority and Sanitary District budgets are presented as a best practice and do not require a separate adopted resolution under California law.

Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted for specific purposes, including State and Federal grants and subventions, developer impact fees, Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation (SB 1), Local Transportation (Measure A), and the Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District.

Capital Improvement Funds
Capital Improvement Funds account for project costs associated with the acquisition and construction of general and enterprise fund infrastructure. The five-year Capital Improvement Plan, presented in the final section of this document, is financed through a combination of bond proceeds, developer impact fees, grant awards, and selfgenerated enterprise fund resources. Although funding for FY 2026-27 projects is identified, future years’ projects may carry a “To Be Determined” funding source footnote until financing is confirmed.

General Fund
Individual General Fund departments have included their FY 2025-26 achievements and FY 2026-27 goals and objectives within their respective division pages in this document, along with budget issues presented for the Council’s review and approval, to help standardize future budget matters and keep Council policy aligned with the City’s priorities.

I would like to thank Finance Director Lincoln Bogard, the Finance Department staff, and all City department directors and personnel who contributed to the entire budget process.

B GENERAL INFORMATION
Budget Process, Calendar & Policies
The City of Coachella's budget process is governed by both State statutory requirements and City policy. The City's budget period coincides with its fiscal year, which begins July 1 and ends June 30 of the following year. An annual budget is adopted by the City Council prior to the first day of the fiscal year; if it cannot be adopted by that date for good and sufficient reason, State law permits adoption no later than forty-five days into the new fiscal year, with a resolution authorizing the continuation of necessary and essential expenditures adopted before the fiscal year begins. For FY 2026-27, the City Council adopted the budget prior to the start of the fiscal year through Resolution No. 2026-41 (FY 2026-27 Annual Budget) and Resolution No. 2026-42 (FY 2025-26 Final Budget), following the budget calendar and study session process described below.

Budgetary Control
A proposed budget is prepared by the City Manager, working with the Finance Director, and transmitted to the City Council for review. Once transmitted, the proposed budget is made available for public inspection, and a public hearing is held to give residents the opportunity to comment before adoption.

The adoption of the annual budget for the City and each component unit -- the Coachella Fire Protection District (Fund 240), Coachella Water Authority (Fund 178), Coachella Sanitary District (Fund 361), and Community Facilities District 2005-1 Police Services (Fund 242) -- is accomplished through a Budget Resolution approved by the City Council or the applicable governing board. The level of budgetary control is by department within each fund. Any budget modification that would result in an appropriation increase, a transfer of appropriations among departments, or a transfer within a department for the purpose of increasing a salary appropriation requires City Council approval; the City Manager is authorized to transfer non-salary appropriations within a department budget. Appropriations that are not obligated, encumbered, or expended by fiscal year-end lapse and become part of the unassigned fund balance available for appropriation in the following fiscal year.

Budget Calendar
The Finance Department prepares the budget calendar in coordination with the City Manager, identifying the dates critical to developing, reviewing, and adopting the budget in time to meet the State's fiscal year deadline.

The FY 2026-27 calendar followed this schedule:
• March -- Budget worksheets distributed to departments; review of revenue estimates; completed worksheets due back to Finance.
• April -- Budget workshop with department staff and the City Council; first and second budget drafts completed and reviewed with departments; revenue estimates refined. • May -- Second draft budget package distributed to the City Council; Council budget study session held. • June -- Additional Council budget study session, if necessary; public hearing and adoption of the budget (continued to a subsequent meeting if needed).

Budget Preparation Package
In late winter, the Finance Department distributes the Budget Preparation Package to departments and agencies.

The package includes two categories of information necessary to build the upcoming budget: first, the maintenance and operations history, which guides departments in developing their non-personnel expenditure requests; and second, a capital outlay request form, on which staff itemize the capital items they are requesting for the new fiscal year, which also assists the Finance Department in identifying new fixed assets for capitalization.

Item 7.

City of Coachella | Adopted Annual Budget | Fiscal Year 2026-27 53990 Enterprise Way, Coachella, CA 92236 | (760) 398-3502 Page 15 Budget Presentation Sessions
From approximately early April through mid-April, the City Manager, the Finance Director, and the Controller meet with each department and agency to discuss their respective budget requests. These sessions cover departmental goals and objectives, staffing needs, and the assumptions underlying each line-item request. A staffing model, developed in coordination with the Human Resources Manager and consistent with current bargaining unit agreements, generates salary and benefit costs; combined with non-personnel requests and any new staffing requests, this produces a full budget package for each department and agency -- including, for FY 2026-27, two additional motorcycles and one additional patrol officer for Police Services, and a new Community Services Manager position within the newly created Community Services Division.

Council Budget Study Sessions
Council budget study sessions are held in regular Council meetings, typically in April and May, to review the budget as proposed. During these sessions the City Council receives the City Manager's recommendations and a review of revenue projections from the Finance Director, and discusses short- and long-term priorities, goals, and objectives. Following the study sessions, staff reconciles Council feedback with the City Manager's recommendations and finalizes the recommended budget package for adoption.

Budget Hearing and Adoption
Final adoption of the budget for the City and its component units is scheduled for a regular Council meeting prior to the start of the fiscal year. Any items unresolved from prior study sessions are presented, along with responses to Council questions, and a series of resolutions are approved to adopt and implement the budget for the coming fiscal year. The City Council's Gann appropriations limit for the coming year is established and accepted at the same meeting (see GANN Appropriations Limit, below). For FY 2026-27, the City Council adopted the budget and the related Gann appropriations limit resolutions at its June 24, 2026 meeting. After adoption, the Finance Department prepares and distributes the final budget document, which may be preceded by interim schedules to assist departments in transitioning into the new fiscal year.

Basis of Accounting and Budgeting
The City adopted a Fiscal Control Ordinance on June 30, 1988 that provides for a system of fiscal and budgetary controls. The City's accounting and budget systems are maintained in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements; accordingly, the basis of budgeting is consistent with the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

Governmental funds are budgeted on a modified accrual basis, while proprietary (enterprise) funds are budgeted on the accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they are available and measurable -- that is, when they will be collected during the current period or soon enough afterward to pay current-year liabilities, and when the amount is reasonably estimable. Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred, if measurable. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized in the period earned and measurable, and expenses are recognized in the period incurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid; this is the basis used in preparing the net income projections for the Coachella Water Authority (Fund 178) and Coachella Sanitary District (Fund 361) presented later in this document, rather than a mechanical revenue-less-appropriations calculation.

The basis of accounting applied varies by fund type:
• Governmental Funds -- account for most typical government transactions and focus primarily on the sources, uses, and balances of current financial resources. Governmental funds employ the modified accrual basis of accounting and include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, the Debt Service Fund, and the Capital Projects Fund.
• Proprietary Funds -- are used to account for activities that are similar to those found in the private sector, focusing on the determination of net income, changes in net assets, financial position, and cash flows. These funds use the accrual basis of accounting and include the City's Enterprise Funds -- the Coachella Water Authority (Fund 178) and Coachella Sanitary District (Fund 361). California law does not require a Counciladopted budget resolution for enterprise funds; the Water Authority and Sanitary District budgets are presented in this document as a best practice for transparency, rather than as a statutory requirement.

Item 7.

City of Coachella | Adopted Annual Budget | Fiscal Year 2026-27 53990 Enterprise Way, Coachella, CA 92236 | (760) 398-3502 Page 16 • Fiduciary Funds -- are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee or agency capacity for individuals, private organizations, and other governmental units, focusing on net assets and changes in net assets. Fiduciary funds use the accrual basis of accounting, except for the recognition of certain liabilities of defined benefit pension plans.

Fund Structure
The City maintains: General Fund (101), Special Revenue Funds (108, 109, 111, 112, 117, 120–131, 152, 160, 210, 212, 240, 242), Enterprise Funds (178, 361), Capital Projects Fund (182), and Debt Service Fund (195).

Department/Fund Relationship
The matrix below illustrates the relationship between the City's functional departments/divisions (columns) and its budgeted funds (rows), consistent with GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award criterion O2. A filled cell indicates that the department or division listed receives an appropriation from, or otherwise draws upon, that fund.

The General Fund (101) and the two enterprise funds (177/178 Water, 360/361 Sanitary) support the widest range of departments; most special revenue and impact fee funds are limited to one or two related departments (e.g., Public Works -- Streets for the gas tax and Measure A funds, or Engineering for development impact fee funds).

City of Coachella | Adopted Annual Budget | Fiscal Year 2026-27 53990 Enterprise Way, Coachella, CA 92236 | (760) 398-3502 Page 18 Description of Revenue Sources
Of the many forms of revenue available to the City, Coachella has traditionally grouped General Fund revenue into eight major classifications: Taxes, Property Taxes, Sales Tax, Business License Fees, Charges for Services, Fines and Forfeitures, Use of Money and Property, and Other Funds. Each fiscal year the City conservatively estimates revenue using historical growth models and current economic trends; because projections are conservative, actual revenues have frequently exceeded budgeted amounts. The table below compares the FY 2025-26 Final Budget to the FY 2026-27 Adopted Budget for General Fund revenue; detailed line-item figures for every account appear in the General Fund Revenue — Line Item Detail schedule elsewhere in this document.

City of Coachella | Adopted Annual Budget | Fiscal Year 2026-27 53990 Enterprise Way, Coachella, CA 92236 | (760) 398-3502 Page 19 General Fund Total Revenue, FY 2023-24 through FY 2026-27 Taxes
General Fund tax revenue is budgeted at $31,463,340 for FY 2026-27, an increase of 4.98% over the FY 2025-26 Final Budget of $29,971,019. Taxes received by the City include property tax, sales tax, franchise tax, utility users’ tax, transient occupancy tax (including short-term vacation rentals), document transfer tax, and cannabis business taxes. In November 2014, voters approved an additional 1% transactions and use tax (Measure U), budgeted to generate approximately $6.91 million in FY 2026-27, in addition to the City's 1% share of the BradleyBurns sales and use tax, budgeted at $5.06 million.

Property Tax
Property taxes are assessed and collected by the County of Riverside at the base 1% countywide rate. Secured, supplemental, and unsecured property tax combined are budgeted at $808,070 for FY 2026-27, a 3.86% increase over the FY 2025-26 Final Budget of $778,064. Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF) -- the City's share of the State's vehicle-license-fee backfill -- is budgeted separately at $7,850,000, an increase of 8.41% over FY 2025-26, and RPTTF residual distributions from the wind-down of the former Redevelopment Agency are budgeted at $350,000.

Sales Tax
The combined sales and use tax rate for Riverside County and the City of Coachella is 8.75%. Of this amount, the City receives 1.75% (1% Bradley-Burns plus the voter-approved 1% Measure U), the County of Riverside receives 0.50%, the State of California receives 6.0%, and 0.5% is directed to the County for transportation purposes under Measure A. Combined sales and use tax revenue (Bradley-Burns plus Measure U) is budgeted at $11,972,000 for FY 2026-27, an increase of 10.74% over the FY 2025-26 Final Budget of $10,810,808, reflecting continued recovery in taxable sales activity within the City.

Business License Fees
Business license fees and taxes are imposed on businesses conducting transactions within City limits, based on criteria such as gross receipts, location size, number of vehicles, or other measures. Combined Business License Annual Fee, Business License Tax, and SB 1186 accessibility fee revenue is budgeted at $785,000 for FY 2026- 27, a decrease of 22.2% from the FY 2025-26 Final Budget of $1,008,483, which may continue this coming year; the FY 2026-27 budget currently reflects a return to a more typical collection pattern.

Item 7.

City of Coachella | Adopted Annual Budget | Fiscal Year 2026-27 53990 Enterprise Way, Coachella, CA 92236 | (760) 398-3502 Page 20 Charges for Services
Charges for services are fees imposed on the user for a specific service rendered, based on the principle that the benefiting party -- rather than the general public -- should bear the cost. These include construction permits, engineering and plan check fees, certificate of occupancy fees, zoning and subdivision fees, and community development administration fees. Charges for services are budgeted at $635,500 for FY 2026-27, an 11.10% decrease from the FY 2025-26 Final Budget of $714,848, driven primarily by lower projected engineering plan check and inspection fee activity. Licenses and permits -- principally building permits -- are budgeted separately at $467,500, a 6.92% decrease from $502,270.

Fines and Forfeitures
Fines and forfeitures represent a non-exchange transaction. The State of California imposes fines and penalties for traffic and parking violations, which are collected and distributed through the Riverside County court system, with a portion -- net of administrative charges -- remitted to the City; the City separately issues parking and park citations. Fines and forfeitures are budgeted at $405,000 for FY 2026-27, a 28.93% decrease from the FY 2025- 26 Final Budget of $569,835. This may also be revised upwards at mid-year if citations continue at the current pace.

Intergovernmental
Intergovernmental revenue includes entitlements, shared revenues, payments in lieu of tax, and grants; of these, shared revenue from the Waste Transfer Station Joint Powers Authority and County Sales Tax (AB 2788) allocations are the largest recurring sources for the City. Intergovernmental revenue is budgeted at $805,267 for FY 2026-27, a 12.29% decrease from the FY 2025-26 Final Budget of $918,087, reflecting the non-recurring nature of certain grant reimbursements received in FY 2025-26, including CalOES emergency reimbursements.

Use of Money and Property
This category includes interest income; rents and royalties on City-owned property (including the Water Authority lease and community center and park field rentals); refunds and reimbursements; and miscellaneous contributions and donations. Use of Money and Property revenue is budgeted at $2,589,760 for FY 2026-27, an increase of 58.22% over the FY 2025-26 Final Budget of $1,636,861, driven primarily by higher budgeted interest income on invested fund balances based on the continued high interest rate environment Other Funds
Beyond the General Fund's own revenue sources, the City accounts for a wide range of dedicated and inter-fund resources under the broader heading of “Other Funds”:
• Special Revenue Funds -- account for revenue restricted to specific purposes by law or administrative action, including the City's Landscape & Lighting Districts, Community Facilities Districts, State Gas Tax, SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation, Measure A, and federal and state grant funds. Each special revenue fund maintains its own independent budget with its own revenue and expenditure accounts. • Debt Service Fund (195) -- accounts for resources accumulated to pay interest and principal on the City's longterm debt. • Enterprise Funds -- the Coachella Water Authority (Fund 178) and Coachella Sanitary District (Fund 361) account for activities the City operates similarly to a private business, recovering the cost of water, sewer, and related services primarily through user charges, in compliance with Proposition 218 rate-setting requirements.

Because California law does not require a Council-adopted budget resolution for enterprise funds, the Water Authority and Sanitary District budgets are presented in this document as a best practice for transparency rather than as a statutory requirement. Within both funds, Division 115 (Administration) and Division 120 (Operations) organize budgeted appropriations.
• Capital Projects Fund (182) -- accumulates the cost of acquiring or constructing capital facilities until each project is complete.
• Transfers In -- from other funds, including cost allocation plan reimbursements from the Water Authority and Sanitary District, the Fire Protection District's share of shared costs, and CFD Fund 242 police services support, are budgeted at $11,029,760 for FY 2026-27, up 75.9% from $6,271,234 in the FY 2025-26 Final Budget, reflecting the City's updated 2 CFR 200 Cost Allocation Plan.

Taken together, the individual revenue sources described above and in each fund’s narrative elsewhere in this document (Sections F through I) account for well over 75% of the City’s total revenues across all appropriated funds, consistent with GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award criterion F6.

Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and California Government Code Section 7900 et seq. require the City Council and the governing boards of the City's component units to adopt, by resolution, an appropriations (“GANN”) limit for each fiscal year. The limit is calculated using the prior year's limit adjusted by the change in California per capita personal income and the change in Riverside County population, as elected by each governing body pursuant to Government Code Section 7902(a). Enterprise funds (Water Authority, Fund 178; and the CFD, Fund 242) are not subject to the appropriations limit, as they are funded through user fees and assessments rather than tax proceeds.

Item 7.

City of Coachella | Adopted Annual Budget | Fiscal Year 2026-27 53990 Enterprise Way, Coachella, CA 92236 | (760) 398-3502 Page 22 Financial Policies
The City Council has adopted, or follows as established administrative practice, the financial policies summarized below. Taken together, these policies govern how the City defines a balanced budget, maintains and classifies fund balance, manages debt, invests idle cash, and plans for capital needs.

Definition of a Balanced Budget
The City Council adopts a balanced budget each fiscal year, defined as total budgeted appropriations not exceeding total available resources — budgeted revenues plus any appropriated beginning fund balance — for each individual fund. Under this definition, a fund may budget a planned net use of fund balance (for example, to fund one-time capital projects from accumulated reserves) without being considered out of balance, provided the draw is deliberate and the fund retains adequate reserves. For analytical purposes elsewhere in this document, the City also distinguishes the General Fund's operating result — annual revenues less operating appropriations — from capital transfers out, since a transfer to the Capital Projects Fund to build infrastructure is a use of accumulated capital, not a sign of operating imbalance. On that operating basis, the FY 2026-27 General Fund result is a surplus after excluding the $534,026 transfer to the Capital Projects Fund, as discussed in the Budget Message and Schedule C-3.

Fund Balance Classification and Reserve Policy
The City classifies governmental fund balance into five categories consistent with GASB Statement No. 54, as described in Note 1 to the City's audited financial statements:

Nonspendable — amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted — amounts constrained by external parties (creditors, grantors, other governments) or by law.

Committed — amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to formal City Council action by ordinance — the City's most binding constraint, which can only be changed by the same type of Council action.

Assigned — amounts constrained by the City's intent for specific purposes, but neither restricted nor committed.

The City Council has delegated authority to assign fund balance to the City Manager or designee, consistent with the City's approved policies.

Unassigned — residual net resources after the other classifications. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned balance; other governmental funds may report a negative unassigned balance if restricted, committed, or assigned resources are insufficient to cover that fund's obligations.

When both restricted and unrestricted fund balance are available for a given purpose, the City's practice is to spend restricted resources first. Among unrestricted resources, the City spends in the order committed, then assigned, then unassigned, except where a specific ordinance directs otherwise.

The City Council's reserve target for the General Fund is 35% of budgeted General Fund expenditures held as unassigned fund balance — exceeding the 25% floor generally recommended under GFOA best practice. At June 30, 2025, the General Fund's audited unassigned fund balance of $12,250,551 represented approximately 35% of that year's total budgeted General Fund expenditures, consistent with this target; committed fiscal contingency reserves of $9,804,903 are held separately and are not counted toward the 35% target.

Investment Policy
The City Council annually adopts a Statement of Investment Policy governing the temporarily idle cash of the City and its component units; the current policy was adopted June 10, 2026 for FY 2026-27. Key provisions include:
• Priority of objectives, in order: safety of principal, liquidity, and then yield — safety and liquidity are never compromised for higher return.
• Authority to invest and reinvest City funds is delegated annually by the City Council to the City Treasurer, consistent with California Government Code Section 53607. • Permitted investments are limited to those authorized under Government Code Sections 16429.1, 53601, 53601.1, 53631, 53649, and 53684 — including LAIF, U.S. Treasury and federal agency obligations, rated municipal and state obligations, banker's acceptances, commercial paper, negotiable and non-negotiable

Item 7.

City of Coachella | Adopted Annual Budget | Fiscal Year 2026-27 53990 Enterprise Way, Coachella, CA 92236 | (760) 398-3502 Page 23 certificates of deposit, and county pooled investment funds — each subject to issuer, sector, and maturity concentration limits set in the policy.
• No more than 5% of the portfolio may be invested with any single issuer, except U.S. Treasury, federal agency, supranational, and pooled fund investments (including LAIF and county pools). • The average dollar-weighted maturity of the portfolio may not exceed 3 years, and no individual investment may exceed a 5-year maturity from purchase, except bond reserve funds matched to a specific bond's maturity schedule.
• The City Treasurer provides a quarterly investment report to the City Council, including holdings, market value, yield, compliance with this policy, and the City's ability to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months.

The full Statement of Investment Policy, including the complete list of authorized and prohibited investments, diversification limits, and reporting requirements, is adopted as a standalone Council resolution and is available from the Finance Department.

Debt Policy
The City's practice is to use long-term debt only for capital assets and infrastructure with a useful life exceeding the term of the financing, and to avoid general obligation bonded debt requiring a property tax pledge, consistent with its status as a General Law city under California Government Code Section 43605. The City has no general obligation bonded debt outstanding. Pension Obligation Bonds are used selectively, where the fixed borrowing cost is expected to be lower than the pension plan's assumed discount rate, to reduce the long-term cost of the City's unfunded CalPERS liability. Enterprise debt is structured to be repaid solely from utility rate revenues, without General Fund support, and revenue bond issuances include rate covenants requiring minimum debt service coverage. Full detail on outstanding debt, the legal debt limit, and debt service requirements to maturity is presented in the Long-Term Debt section of this document.

Capital Asset and Capital Improvement Policy
The City maintains a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), updated and adopted annually alongside the operating budget, that identifies and prioritizes infrastructure and facility projects across all funds. Capital projects are funded through a combination of bond proceeds, development impact fees, grant awards, and self-generated enterprise fund resources, with funding sources identified for the budget year and flagged as "To Be Determined" for future years where financing has not yet been secured. The five-year CIP is presented in the final section of this document.

Cost Allocation Policy
The City allocates central administrative and support costs to the funds and departments that benefit from those services through a Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) prepared in accordance with 2 CFR 200 (the federal Uniform Guidance). For FY 2026-27, the CAP reclassifies certain Water Authority and Sanitary District administrative and finance-support staff costs to General Fund payroll, with the cost recovered through Transfers In from the enterprise funds, as described in the Budget Message and reflected in the applicable division budgets throughout this document.

C ALL-FUNDS SUMMARY
All-Funds Summary — Revenues, Expenditures & Net
The following three schedules present revenues, expenditures, and net position for all City funds across four fiscal years. Data is sourced directly from the Revenue ALL and Expenses ALL worksheets. Enterprise funds (178 Water, 361 Sanitary) and the Fire Protection District (240) are included for full transparency. Amounts in parentheses indicate excess of expenditures over revenues; these are expected in capital and grant funds where prior-year accumulated balances are being deployed.

Schedule C-2a — All-Funds Expenditures by Function
The schedule below regroups the same all-funds expenditure totals shown in Schedule C-2 by spending component rather than by fund, using the same object-code ranges applied to the General Fund category breakdown (Salaries: 100s; Employee Benefits: 200s; Professional & Contract Services: 300s–500s; Supplies & Materials: 600s; Capital, Debt & Transfers: 700s and above).

Professional & Contract Services, Supplies & Materials, and Capital, Debt & Transfers are stated directly from Expenses ALL. Totals reconcile exactly to the All-Funds totals in Schedule C-2. The large year-over-year increase in Capital, Debt & Transfers for FY 2026-27 reflects the $63.6 million Capital Improvement Plan and the $66 million Grants Fund program described in the Capital Program and Fund 152 sections of this document.

Enterprise funds capitalize capital outlay as assets and record debt principal payments as a reduction of liabilities rather than as an expense, so the budgetary appropriation figure (used elsewhere in this document and in Schedules C-1/C-2) is not equivalent to Net Income for these two funds. All other funds shown reflect budgetary Revenue less Appropriations, which is the correct measure of net change in fund balance under the modified accrual basis used for governmental funds.

Note: Negative net amounts in capital and grant funds reflect intentional drawdown of accumulated prior-year balances and are expected and planned. The General Fund structural deficit of ($226,127) represents a modest draw on the $42.4M audited beginning fund balance.

The Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency is a fiduciary Private-Purpose Trust Fund. Its net position is held for the benefit of the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) obligation holders, is not available to the City, and is not part of the City's governmental fund balance or enterprise net position totals reported above. It is shown here because Fund 755 appears in the all-funds budgetary schedules (Schedule C-3) elsewhere in this document, for transparency and to allow the reader to reconcile the two presentations.

Reconciliation: Total Governmental Funds — beginning balance of $41,350,640 (7/1/2025, per ACFR) plus a combined FY 2025-26 estimated change of $31,843,852 and a FY 2026-27 recommended change of ($9,619,121) — projects to a combined governmental fund balance of $63,575,371 at 6/30/2027. Adding the enterprise funds' projected net position of $48,591,761 and excluding the fiduciary Successor Agency, this reconciles to the same fund-by-fund net changes reported in Schedule C-3.

G SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special revenue funds account for revenue sources that are legally restricted, or committed by City Council action, to specific purposes other than debt service or capital projects — including gas tax and Measure A allocations, development impact fees, landscape and lighting assessment district levies, and federal and state grant awards. State law and the terms of each funding source govern how these dollars may be spent; for example, gas tax and SB 1 revenues may only fund street-related purposes under the Streets and Highways Code, impact fees collected under the Mitigation Fee Act may only fund the facilities for which they were charged, and assessment revenues may only fund the services for which property owners were assessed under Proposition 218.

In practice, this restriction means the General Fund cannot use special revenue fund balances to cover its own operating costs, and each special revenue fund must instead remain self-supporting over time based on its own dedicated revenue stream, with expenditures tracked separately to demonstrate compliance with the restriction. All line items in this section are sourced from the Revenue ALL and Expenses ALL worksheets.
