With AMPP out of the market, the power plant remains unavailable to be called upon to support the City’s energy needs in addition to the broader California Independent System Operator (CAISO) controlled SP 15 market. Based upon staff analysis of replacement energy and energy related products, the immediate cost exposure is $6,300,000 in addition to the replacement costs for the bus work, which is estimated at $1,100,000 for a total unplanned forced outage cost of $7,400,000. This analysis to market exposure assumes the repairs can be made and AMPP is placed back into market on, or before July 31, 2025.

Should repairs extend beyond July 31, 2025 , and AMPP remain s out of market, the financial liability to the Electric Utility will grow exponentially , not only in energy and related products, but also in potential fines levied by the CAISO due to an unplanned forced outage condition.

Conversely, if staff can complete repairs and return AMPP to market ahead of the July 31, 2025 date, the Electric Utility will realize the benefits of market cost avoidance.

Given the significant financial exposure to the City , the City Manager’s Office has issued an emergency declaration and directed staff to effectuate repairs in the most responsible and economic manner possible. To accomplish this, the City has invoked Colton Municipal Code

3.08.130 (A), dispatching with the formal budding requirements and executing all necessary agreements to complete repairs and restore AMPP to dispatchable status.

BACKGROUND

City staff has prepared the proposed Fiscal Year 2025 -26 Budget through a collaborative, Citywide effort to address operational needs, community priorities, and City Council direction.

Each department submitted funding requests based on projected service demands, including baseline operating needs and any proposed service enhancements.

The Finance Department evaluated and consolidated departmental submissions, aligning them with updated revenue forecasts to produce a balanced financial plan. Departments were asked to maintain current service levels despite ongoing fiscal pressures, including inflationary cost increases, volatility in supply chains and materials pricing, growing risk management and 15 Packet Pg. 362

liability costs, and escalating employer contributions to CalPERS. In addition, staff had to account for long -term structural constraints in the General Fund, limited discretionary revenue growth, and the reliance on one-time reserves to balance core services.

Despite these challenges, the FY2025 -26 General Fund Budget is balanced with the use of reserves and includes targeted investments, particularly within the Electric Utility, where several service enhancements are proposed. The budget also includes a continued focus on critical capital improvement projects, including facility maintenance, street and park rehabilitation, and infrastructure upgrades that support quality of life for Colton residents.

To support General Fund operations, the budget includes a projected $16.9 million General Fund Transfer (GFT) from the Electric Utility. This amount reflects 18.2% of qualifying Electric Utility revenue based on FY2024-25 mid-year estimates, as detailed in the calculation below.

Total FY24-25 Est. Electric Utility Revenue 94,999,436
Less: FY24-25 Est. Excluded Revenue (2,073,346)
Net FY24-25 Est. GFT Electric Utility Revenue 92,926,090 FY25-26 Maximum General Fund Transfer 18,585,218
FY25-26 Budgeted General Fund Transfer 16,900,000 18.2% Balance of GFT Available for Transfer 1,685,218

On April 16, 2025, staff met with the Finance Committee, comprised of Mayor Navarro and Mayor Pro Tem Toro, to review key elements of the proposed budget. Staff also extended the opportunity to present the same information to the remaining City Councilmembers individually in advance of the budget workshop. As a result, meetings were held with all three additional Councilmembers. Feedback from the Finance Committee and individual Councilmembers was incorporated into the budget workshop presentations , which were subsequently presented and discussed at two City Council budget workshops held on April 28 and May 7, 2025.

On April 30, 2025, the GFT Committee had a regular meeting scheduled to discuss the Proposed Fiscal Year 202 5-26 Budget and the proposed General Fund Transfer. All members were in attendance for the GFT Committee Meeting. After the staff presentation, t he Committee had great discussion and discernment and made the following recommendations . First, they expressed support for the proposed General Fund Transfer (GFT) amount and acknowledged the limitations of the current budget. However, they recommended that the City Council consider earmarking General Fund Transfer funds to support Community Development initiatives and the Chamber of Commerce. The Committee emphasized the importance of the business community and urged the City Council to prioritize efforts around business retention, attraction, and streamlining the City’s development process to better serve local businesses. They highlighted the business community’s critical role in contributing to General Fund revenues.

May 20, 2025

As clarified at the May 7, 2025 budget workshop , the General Fund transfer under Measure V was approved by voters specifically as a general tax measure. This classification means that legally, we cannot earmark the funds for a specific purpose, as doing so would conflict with the terms under which the voters passed the measure. However, City Council was reminded that they retain full discretion to prioritize funding initiatives related to community development and fostering a business -friendly environment through deliberate budget appropriations during the budget process. In summary, while Measure V funds cannot be legally restricted for specific uses, the Council maintains the authority to direct those funds through strategic budgeting decisions.

The Committee’s second recommendation addressed the proposed staffing additions and City Council’s discussion during the first workshop about creating new positions. Given the increase in the GFT —from 17.9% at mid -year to a proposed 18.2% in FY2025 -26—and the significant ongoing support it provides to General Fund operations, the Committee advised against introducing additional ongoing personnel expenses that would require further increases in the GFT.

The GFT Committee members were provided the dates of the budget workshops and encouraged to provide their individual comments and recommendations to City Council.

At the budget workshops, staff presented the proposed General Fund budget and discussed the various year-over-year changes. A significant portion of the General Fund portion of the budget workshops focused on the driving factors in several revenue and expenditure categories.

General Fund revenues for FY202 5-26 are expected to decrease by $6,899,803. Year over year, fluctuations in most revenue sources for the City are outside its control. Tax rates are regulated and fixed, and market and economic conditions outside the City’s control drive variances in other revenues, such as development -related revenue, interest, and sales and property tax revenue. Modest growth in property -related revenues is anticipated. Additionally, we’re seeing a flattening in sales tax, that is expected at least through the end of the next fiscal year. We are monitoring actions by the Fed, but interest revenue included in the Use of Money & Property category remains cautiously optimistic. After netting out one -time items from the Fiscal Year 2024-25, the FY202 5-26 base revenue growth is 0.83%. While this growth is certainly welcomed, it’s important to note that this growth is not expected to match the rate of inflation in the Inland Empire over the same period.

General Fund Expenditures represent how the City prioritizes its general service delivery to the community. Because we are a service organization in the General Fund, most of those resources are designated for the salaries and benefits of those providing the services to the community.

This budget assumes current services and delivery levels . Overall, General Fund expenditures for FY2025-26, are $73,077,524, which is $7,525,598 less than the FY2024-25 estimate to close through the mid -year budget review and $ 7,183,679 more than the original adopted FY202 4-25 budget. Several factors contributed to the changes between fiscal years: FY202 3-24 authorized carryovers and PO rolls into FY202 4-25 totaling $4,739,635 , one -time capital projects and outlays in FY202 4-25 related to previously designated ARPA projects totaling $8,634,745 , a $943,837 increase in the General Fund’s portion of the City’s unfunded pension liability expense, additional labor plan adjustments of $3,139,395 , and a $2,065,933 increase in allocated charges for risk management related expenses.

May 20, 2025

After the conclusion of both budget workshops, staff indicated they would bring back the FY2025-26 budget for adoption at the May 20, 2025 regular City Council meeting, incorporating any direction from Council at the prior two workshops. At its May 7, 2025 budget workshop, City Council ’s consensus was for staff to bring forward the City Manager’s recommended budget for adoption at its next regular meeting.

The FY2025-26 General Fund budget as presented is:
▪ Structurally balanced with the use of reserves;
▪ Complies with the City’s Fund Balance Policy of 15% available reserve balance; ▪ Within Measure V’s General Fund Transfer (GFT) restrictions of 20% maximum; ▪ Reduces the reserve committed for pension by the FY202 5-26 increase in unfunded pension liability expense of $1,564,000; and,
▪ Reduces the reserve committed for OPEB by $500,000.

The proposed budget includes projected revenues and expenditures for all City funds, as well as comparative data for the previous fiscal year -end estimate to close, and the two prior years’ actuals. Also included is the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the next fiscal year, as well as the Authorized Positions List, and the comprehensive salary tables to include all recently adopted labor plan adjustments.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

The Budget Message outlines a proposed FY2025-26 budget that maintains current service levels and addresses the most urgent needs of the City and community. This budget focuses on 15 Packet Pg. 366
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
FY2025-26 Budget Adoption
May 20, 2025

strategically addressing City Council values and meeting the community’s needs. As a full - service City that provides a vast array of services, it is essential to balance prioritizing the services the community needs with the responsibility of fiscal stewardship. The proposed FY2025–26 budget reflects the City leadership’s commitment to public safety, infrastructure, quality of life, and sustainability, with a strong emphasis on maintaining current service levels to preserve community well-being while upholding fiscal responsibility.

For the General Fund, revenues are projected at $ 71,293,201, while proposed expenditures total $73,077,524, resulting in a $ 1,784,323 budget deficit that is balanced with the use of available reserves and meets the City’s 15% reserve requirement. The General Fund is expected to begin the fiscal year with an available fund balance of approximately $ 51,386,661, of which $10,763,532 is available and, utilizing $ 1,564,000 in reserve committed for pension and $500,000 in reserve committed for OPEB , end the year with a projected available fund balance of $ 8,979,209, or a 15.1% reserve balance in comparison to Fiscal Year 202 5-26 proposed expenditures, as illustrated below.

The FY202 5-26 budget strives to address the highest present needs of the community in alignment with City Council priorities within the City’s available resources.

Beyond Fiscal Year 202 5-26, similar to other cities across California, the City of Colton faces inflationary impacts, long -term costs such as unfunded liabilities related to pension and retiree healthcare, infrastructure needs, increases in risk management and excess carrier coverage premiums, and a limited ability to control costs within the current service delivery model.

Staff continues to proactively seek grants to accomplish additional goals and projects throughout the community, and the efforts have resulted in securing more grant funding than Colton has in its modern history. The City’s Community Services Department successfully secured grants and 15 Packet Pg. 367
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
FY2025-26 Budget Adoption
May 20, 2025

alternative funding to achieve several objectives, including the design and development of the Colton Sports Park, playground improvements at various parks in the City and for improvements to the Colton Area Museum, Luque Library Improvements, Early Care & Education, funds for food stability, homeless services, after school programs at the Teen Center, and literacy services.

The Fire Department secured funding for the City of Colton for $1.5M to purchase a replacement tractor drawn aerial apparatus , which is anticipated to arrive in the current calendar year .

Finally, t he Police Department has acquired grant funding for DUI saturation patrols and checkpoints, pedestrian and bicycle protection details, and bulletproof vests.

NEAR-TERM CHALLENGES

Inflation and Supply Chain Disruptions: The national and local economies continue to face inflationary pressure after decades of relatively low inflation. Without question, the high inflation of the post -pandemic has profoundly changed the economic landscape for municipal government and our communities. While the City of Colton’s tax base is not overly reliant on any one industry, the City is impacted by the fluctuations of large enterprises. Higher interest rates and a substantial tightening of credit conditions affect even creditworthy borrowers and contribute to a deceleration in activities. Projections suggest a gradual market normalization through 2024, with a modest resurgence anticipated in the latter half of the year driven by expected reductions in financing rates.

Pension Costs: The City is aware of the expected range of increases in annual pension costs and the continued annual strain on the City’s operating budget. The City expects to continue to see increases in Fiscal Year 2024 -25. Factors affecting this fiscal year’s unfunded liability expense include the 6.1% investment loss CalPERS sustained in FY2021 -22 and the triggered Risk Mitigation Policy, which lowered the discount rate assumption for CalPERS plans to 6.8% from the previous assumption of 7%. The City’s pension funding status continued to plummet after the loss year, while CalPERS policy decisions to reduce the amortization period and underperforming investments continue to contribute to increased annual required contributions.

The anticipated rises in yearly pension costs will continue to squeeze the City’s ability to maintain services to the community and are lending less and less flexibility for the City to absorb the increases in other costs while staying within our resources.

Homelessness: The Mayor and City Council continue to work with staff, regional agencies, local faith-based organizations, and community partners to provide resources for the homeless population and ensure our community’s safety. The City continues to seek additional funding opportunities to assist with programs to address these challenges.

LONGER-TERM CHALLENGES

Sustainable Pensions and Healthcare: The City’s unfunded pension liabilities and risks to the CalPERS system are very well known. Our City Councilmembers continue to be leaders in understanding the scale of the problem and have implemented many solutions to balance our 15 Packet Pg. 368
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
FY2025-26 Budget Adoption
May 20, 2025

commitment to our employees and our community while ensuring the fiscal sustainability of our City.

Transportation Funding: The City has identified several transportation infrastructure needs that vary from connection to public railway transportation to bridges to active modes of transportation. City Council adopted the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) in April 2018, which ensures eligibility for grant funds for transportation infrastructure needs. City Council and staff continue to pursue funding opportunities for the City’s long -term transportation infrastructure needs.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The City’s Enterprise Funds include the funds for the City’s three utilities, Electric, Water, and Wastewater.

Electric Utility
Electric Utility revenues for FY202 5-26 are estimated at $93,101,081. Approximately 94.2% of Electric Utility revenues are derived from charges for current services in accordance with the recently adopted rate schedule. Other sources of revenue in the Electric Utility include restricted revenue from consigned emissions allowances, lease revenue, transmission revenue, pooled interest income, penalties & interest, and late fees.

Electric Utility expenditures are projected to be $ 103,067,024, which includes planned capital outlay and improvements of $ 9,480,000 and Agua Mansa Power Plant costs of $ 5,977,727, which contains a major scheduled maintenance project.

15 Packet Pg. 369
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
FY2025-26 Budget Adoption
May 20, 2025

Power supply costs, the largest single component of Electric Utility expenditures, are projected to return to a stabilized level , marked by a $ 10,006,512 decrease over the current year. The significant recent spikes in power supply costs since FY2021 -22 appear to be stabilizing, while capital maintenance, AMPP maintenance , and overall utility operations are steadily increasing, as identified in the recent rate study. The FY2025 -26 budget anticipates the inclusion of the newly adopted rates and usage from new development.

The FY202 5-26 budgeted revenue and expenditures ensure the Electric Utility meets the previously adopted 10% reserve requirement, and are moving toward the recently adopted revised reserve requirement of 25% by FY2028-29, with a 19.2% available net position reserve.

Water Utility
Water Utility revenues for FY202 5-26 are estimated at $ 18,565,123. Approximately 87.5% of the Water Utility’s revenue results from charges for current service. Other sources of income for the Water Utility are pooled interest revenue, connection fees, and other miscellaneous revenue.

Water Utility expenditures are projected to total $ 17,014,840, which includes scheduled capital outlay and capital improvements combined at $ 1,808,660. Planned capital improvements of 15 Packet Pg. 370
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
FY2025-26 Budget Adoption
May 20, 2025

$1,300,000 include well and booster rehabilitation and repair, the Walnut Booster Station construction project, Well 33 construction, and water mainline replacements.

The FY2025-26 budgeted revenue and expenditures ensure the Water Utility reserve exceeds the 10% reserve requirement with an anticipated reserve of 27.4% estimated as of June 30, 2026.

Wastewater Utility
Wastewater Utility revenues for FY202 5-26 are estimated at $ 16,676,550, of which approximately 92.8% of the revenues are derived from charges for current services. Other income sources include connection fees, pooled and trustee interest revenue, and other miscellaneous revenue. Wastewater revenues anticipate a full year of revenue from rate increases necessary to maintain and operate the system.

Wastewater Utility expenditures are projected to total $ 17,750,004. The planned capital improvement projects included in the FY202 5-26 budget are the RIX Facility plant upgrades , Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) upgrades, the 10 th Street sewer line replacement project, and the design phase of the Mt. Vernon Lift Station rehabilitation project, all totaling $2,700,000. Any projects appropriated in the current year but not yet complete by the end of FY2024-25, will be carried over to project completion to ensure the new infrastructure is complete. Additionally, as capital projects are prioritized and bid for FY202 5-26, staff will seek additional appropriations to complete new projects.
15 Packet Pg. 371
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
FY2025-26 Budget Adoption
May 20, 2025

The FY2025-26 budgeted revenue and expenditures ensure the Wastewater Utility exceeds the 10% reserve requirement with an anticipated reserve of 21.7% estimated as of June 30, 2026.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
The City’s Internal Service Funds provide governmental services to City Departments and recover their costs through user charges through the City’s Cost Allocation Plan. The City has four Internal Service Funds, which include Building & Facility Maintenance; Auto Shops, or fleet fund; Information Services Fund, which accounts for the City’s IT function and infrastructure; and the Insurances Fund, which accounts for the City’s Risk Management activities. The Insurances Fund accounts for estimates of the City’s claims liability, including potential future liabilities that have been reported but not yet settled as well as claims that may have been incurred but not yet reported. Note 12 in the Notes to the Financial Statements in the City’s annual Comprehensive Financial Statement outlines information about the sensitivity of the liability estimates included in the fund balance for the Insurances Fund.

Internal Service Fund expenditures consist primarily of maintenance and operations expenses for each of the various funds and representative of their respective purposes. For example, operations expenses in the Auto Shops Fund include expenses to maintain the City’s fleet, while 15 Packet Pg. 372
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
FY2025-26 Budget Adoption
May 20, 2025

operations expenses in the Insurances Fund represent expenses for Workers’ Compensation expenses, insurance premiums, Third -Party Administrator costs, and liability claims expenses.

Salaries and benefits for staff assigned to the internal service functions are expended in the internal service funds and their costs are recovered from the various city departments based on their representative share of the cost through the City’s Cost Allocation Plan.

FISCAL IMPACTS

The FY202 5-26 General Fund budget as presented is balanced with the use of reserves, maintains current service levels citywide, provides the labor plan adjustments necessary to meet market conditions and attract and retain quality human resources necessary to provide service to the community, and accomplishes the City’s policy to maintain a 15% unassigned General Fund reserve. Additionally, the General Fund Transfer is within the voter approved limit of 20%.

All other City funds are included in the FY2025-26 budget book in the representative department pages and aggregated in the fund type section as well.

FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ADOPTED BUDGET
May 20, 2025
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget Transmittal
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council:

As City Manager, I am privileged to present the City of Colton’s Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget builds on the City’s responsible fiscal decisions, directing the resources to meet City Council’s priorities while improving the quality of life throughout our community. A key priority for the City this past year has been to reinvest in the human resources used to deliver the services our valued community needs. Over the past year, City leadership has implemented a three-tier labor plan to ensure the City of Colton’s employees are paid market value. This endeavor required the collaboration and coordination of various stakeholders citywide, including city management, Human Resources, all the affected labor groups and their representation, and City Council.

The proposed budget is balanced, meets the City’s reserve requirement, and delivers several service level enhancements to address community needs and improve the quality of life for residents, visitors, businesses, and for the future. This budget focuses on strategically improving targeted areas to address City Council values, goals, and objectives. As a full-service City that provides a vast array of services, it is essential to balance prioritizing the services the community needs with the responsibility of fiscal stewardship. The proposed budget for FY2025-26 demonstrates the City leadership’s commitment to public safety, infrastructure, quality of life, and sustainability.

The City of Colton prides itself on being a safe, well-maintained community where residents enjoy their neighborhood, build successful businesses, and raise their families. As normalized operational patterns emerge after COVID-19, the City is facing the expectation of slowing revenue growth and increasing costs of providing essential services , as well as workforce attraction and retention challenges that impact service capacity. The proposed budget addresses these concerns while investing in service delivery for a sustainable future.

BUDGET DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGIC PLANNING
The City of Colton continually strives to find ways to maximize limited resources to deliver high -quality services to our community. Colton experienced the Fiscal Year 2024 -25 navigating ongoing inflation concerns and the expectation of a stable economy with slowing growth.

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ADOPTED BUDGET

In preparing the budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26, staff focused on the following budget development goals:

• Fund the highest level of municipal services possible based on available resources. • Enhance core community services, especially in public safety operations. • Strategically implement three-tier labor plan.
• Incorporate conservative revenue projections in the development of the proposed budget , given the market uncertainty and evolving local, regional, and national economic conditions. • Maintain the reserves in accordance with the City Council Policy.

FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 GENERAL FUND

Combined budget for all City funds totals $242.6 million. The amount includes a General Fund operating budget of $73.1 million. A $5.3 million revenue increase is projected when comparing Fiscal Year 2025-26 to Fiscal Year 2024-

25. This revenue growth provides the capacity to support rising costs related to three-tier labor plan across a wide range of expenses categories such as personnel, pension, other post-employment benefits (OPEB). Although General Fund presented in this document is balanced without the use of operating reserves, the risk management reserve was reviewed and adjusted as a matter of best practice. This year’s budget decreased its reserve based on the seventy percent confidence level, increasing the funding allocation to core community services.

Property tax and sales tax continue to be the General Fund’s largest revenue sources, representing 55.1% of the revenue. The r eal estate sales volume remains low due to the elevated interest rate environment, but the assessed value and median sales price are expected to be more resilient, projecting a growth of property tax revenue by 5.2%.

Sales tax growth, on the other hand, has decelerated to a small growth rate of 1.1%. Consumer confidence has waned in response to recent Federal policy shifts and the resulting economic uncertainties. In addition, the implementation of California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations impacts certain enterprises generating the sales tax revenue for the City.

$4.9 million of the $5.3 million revenue growth is attributable to the increase of General Fund Transfer from Electric Utility, representing 40.8% increase in comparison to Fiscal Year 2024 -25. Measure V, Utility Revenue Transfer, allows the City to authorize a transfer of annual electric utility revenues to the General Fund subject to twenty percent maximum rate. To be competitive in attracting and retaining critical services personnel, especially in the public safety departments, City leadership has impl emented a three -tier labor plan to ensure the City of Colton’s employees are paid market value. A recently implemented labor plan has already resulted in success during the Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Additional funding from General Fund Transfer allows the City to continue its success in attracting and retaining the pool of talent.

This year’s budget commits the largest contribution of General Fund in the public safety departments, allocating $54.3 million or 74.3% of General Fund expenditure to the Police and Fire Departments. The proposed FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) will invest over $12.6 million in our community with continued street and transportation improvements, utility systems upgrades, and park facility improvements. Numerous transportation system upgrades are also planned, including rehabilitating and reconstructing roadways and sidewalk gap closures to improve pedestrian safety. These improvements will ensure the efficiency and safety of Colton’s transportation network.

Looking Beyond Fiscal Year 2025-26

The Fiscal Year 2025–26 Budget is designed to address the community’s most pressing needs in alignment with City Council priorities, while operating within the City’s available resources. It supports the City’s mission to provide high- quality municipal services that reflect Colton’s unique history, culture, and values. Looking beyond FY 2025 –26, the City of Colton—like many municipalities across California —faces ongoing financial challenges, including unfunded pension and retiree healthcare liabilities, ris ing insurance costs, aging infrastructure, and limited flexibility within the existing service delivery model. To ensure the continued provision of essential services and the long-term stability of the General Fund, sustained collaboration and strategic financial planning with City leadership will be essential.

NEAR-TERM CHALLENGES

Uncertainty and Inflation : The economy’s trajectory has recently become more uncertain as signs of changes in household spending and market volatility have led economists to moderate growth expectations and position for a recession watch. In line with these assumptions, the overall growth rates in the City revenue for Fiscal Year 2025-26 reflect restrained growth from the prior year. Consumers continue to feel elevated prices. While the City of Colton’s tax base is not overly reliant on any one industry, the City is impacted by the fluctuations of large enterprises. Higher interest rates and a substantial tightening of credit conditions affect even creditworthy borrowers and contribute to a deceleration in activities.

Pension Costs: The City recognizes the ongoing and projected increases in annual pension costs and the resulting pressure these obligations place on the operating budget. Pension expenses are expected to continue rising in Fiscal Year 2025–26. Key contributors to this in crease include CalPERS' investment loss of -6.1% in Fiscal Year 2021 –22 and the activation of the Risk Mitigation Policy, which automatically reduced the discount rate assumption for CalPERS plans from 7.0% to 6.8%. This change, while intended to strengthe n long-term sustainability, increases short-term employer contribution rates by reducing the assumed rate of return on investments.

Following the investment loss, the City’s pension funding status declined, further elevating its unfunded liability.

Additional policy changes by CalPERS—such as the shortened amortization period for new losses from 30 years to 20 years —have compounded the impact, accelerating the pace at which the City must pay down its obligations.

Combined with continued volatility in market performance and inflationary pressures, these factors drive up the City’s annual required contributions to CalPERS.

As pension costs consume a growing share of the General Fund, the City faces reduced fiscal flexibility to address other rising expenses or expand community services. Without structural changes or additional revenue, maintaining current service levels will become increasingly challenging in future budget cycles.

Unhoused Population: The Mayor and City Council remain actively engaged with City staff, regional agencies, local faith-based organizations, and community partners to address the needs of the unhoused population while promoting public safety and community well-being. As part of this ongoing commitment, the City recently doubled its contract with the Social Work Action Group (SWAG), enhancing outreach, case management, and connection to essential services for individuals experiencing homelessness. In addition to expanding these efforts, the City continues to pursue state, federal, and regional funding opportunities to support comprehensive, sustainable solutions to homelessness and related challenges.

LONGER-TERM CHALLENGES

Sustainable Pensions and Healthcare: The long-term liabilities and systemic risks associated with the CalPERS pension system are well-documented and continue to pose significant financial challenges to cities across California, including Colton. Our City Council has consistently demonstrated leadership in acknowledging the full scope of these obligations and proactively engaging in discussions and strategies to address them. Recognizing the need to balance our commitment to providing fair and competitive retirement benefits for our employees w ith our responsibility to safeguard essential community services, the Council is focused on solutions that support the City’s long -term fiscal sustainability. This includes exploring cost -containment measures, evaluating pension funding strategies, and advocating for policy reforms at the state level to ensure the City remains financially resilient in the face of growing pension pressures.

Transportation Funding: The City has identified a range of transportation infrastructure needs, including improved connectivity to public rail systems, bridge enhancements, and expanded facilities for active transportation modes such as walking and biking. To support these effort s, the City Council adopted the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) in April 2018, establishing a strategic framework for promoting safe, accessible, and sustainable mobility options.

Adoption of the ATP also ensures the City remains eligible for a variety of state and federal grant programs aimed at funding transportation infrastructure projects. City Council and staff remain committed to securing external funding to support the City’s long -term transportation goals and to advancing projects that improve mobi lity, safety, and connectivity for all users.

I want to thank the City Council for its leadership, the Executive Leadership Team, and the entire staff of the City for providing outstan ding services to our community. T hrough the support of this team , we have overcome the challenges we faced over the last few years , and through this resiliency, our experiences have prepared us for the challenges ahead. Together, we must take action to address issues in the near term to best position the organization for long-term success so that we can meet the needs of the community today and beyond. The Colton community should be proud of City Council’s leadership and commitment to service. Working with a dedicated City Council, a professional City workforce, and an engaged community is an honor and a privilege.

Respectfully Submitted,

HISTORY
Dating to over 300 years ago, the area that today
comprises the City of Colton has served as a crossroads and center of regional activity. In the late 1700s,
explorers from Mexico first passed through on their
way north to Monterey. The first permanent settlement
occurred in the early 1800s as the Jurupa and San
Bernardino ranchos, which were Mexican land grants to
private owners. The ranchos supported agricultural
activity that was important to the growing region. The
ranchos were gradually subdivided, and smaller ranches
and citrus orchards dotted the area. As the final
transcontinental leg of the Southern Pacific Railway
pushed through in 1875 on its way to Los Angeles, a
formal town was laid out on a traditional grid street
pattern, evidenced today in Colton’s downtown and the
south Colton neighborhood south of Interstate 10.

Activity associated with the railroad and the citrus
orchards made Colton a busy place, with many
businesses and residents working to support railroad
operations. In south Colton, wh ere many railroad
workers lived, residents built their own homes often
using the disassembled wooden crates from railroad
shipments as building materials.

Railroad activity was expanded so that both east -west
and north-south regional lines crossed in Colton. With
the waning of the citrus industry, other businesses
dependent upon rail for materials delivery and shipment were established along the rail lines, thus creating large tracts of land devoted to industrial operations, many of which continue today. The original residential
settlements remained adjacent to the rail and industrial operations, allowing local residents to walk to their jobs.

Many buildings standing today in downtown and south
Colton date back to these early years. Proudly, the
Colton Museum on La Cadena Drive, built in 1891 as a
Carnegie Library, displays and describes those
influences that shaped the Colton we see today.

Following the relatively quiet period during the 1920s
and Great Depression, Colton again experienced a
development boom. Construction of Interstates 10 and
215 through the City, further defining the crossroads
nature of the community, attracted transportation-
based industries. The frenzied residential building
period of post -World War II, followed 30 to 40 years
later by explosive subdivision growth throughout the
Inland Empire, created many new neighborhoods. A
modest amount of commercial development followed
to support demand for goods and services.

THE BUDGET DOCUMENT AND PROCESS

BUDGET DOCUMENT INTRODUCTION
A local government budget is a plan to match existing resources with the needs of the community. The functions of local government stem from three levels of policy direction: federal, state, and local. Within this intergovernmental system, local government is the workhorse of domestic policy. Local government has the responsibility to provide basic public services such as maintaining streets and roadways, providing traffic management systems, maintainin g parks, providing community services, and ensuring public safety. Local government must also fulfill certain state and national policy objectives such as transportation and environmental protection while implementing the expectations and values of its citizens.

For local governments, the primary tool used to coordinate these requirements is the budget. The City of Colton’s Budget provides the residents of Colton with a plan for matching available resources to the services, goals, and objectives specified in the budget document.

BUDGET PROCESS
The budget process is initiated through a joint effort on behalf of the City Manager’s office and the Finance Department. Budget instructions are disseminated to the department heads. Revenue budget projections are produced with the cooperative efforts of the departments and Finance. The department projections are based upon current services provided within their respective departments, and Finance is responsible for projecting the remaining revenue sources, such as taxes, interest income, revenue from other governments, and franchise fees. The Finance Department provides departments with the projected salary and benefits costs for their respective department based upon current staffing levels and any MOU-driven changes.

An automated budget module is made available to departments to input their requests in detail. Each department submits justification for expenses, such as additional personnel, capital, professional services, and travel and meetings. The Finance Departme nt provides staff with the required tutorial and training for this portion of the budget process. After the department deadline for budget input, the Finance Department reviews the citywide and department budgets with the City Manager. Meetings are held with individual department heads to discuss budgetary concerns, program requests, and to help establish funding priorities.

Based upon the City Manager’s recommendations, the Finance Committee is presented with the current fiscal status of the City, the proposed budget, future challenges, and potential solutions. Aft er final recommendations are received from the Finance Committee, the Finance Department prepares a proposed budget document for the City Council budget workshops/public hearings.

UNDERSTANDING THE BUDGET DOCUMENT
The budget document includes city -wide information as well as information specific to each fund and each department. The City receives revenue from numerous different sources, many of which have restrictions on how they can be used. Separate funds are establis hed to account for the different types of revenues and allowable uses of those revenues.

FUND TYPES

GENERAL FUND
This is the primary fund used to account for all general revenues of the City (e.g. property, sales, and transient occupancy taxes). In general, these funds are allocated at the discretion of the City Council. This revenue is used to support citywide services such as public safety, community services, planning and community development, and administrative support services.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
These funds are established to function as self-supporting operations wherein expenditures are entirely offset by fees or charges for services. Enterprise funds are used to report the functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its Electric Utility, Water Utility, and Wastewater Utility activities.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
These funds are established to account for a variety of business services provided by one City department (or division) to other City departments. Information services, facility and equipment maintenance , and liability and workers’ compensation services are a provided to all City departments through internal service funds.

Departments are charged for these services based on their respective utilization.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS
Revenues and expenses for capital proje cts are also accounted for in separate funds. Capital Projects funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major facilities other than those financed by Proprietary, Special Assessment, and/or Trust Funds. The capital projects funds the City currently utilities are: the Capital Improvements Fund, the Development Fees Fund, the Assessment Districts Fund, and the Colton Crossing Fund.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of revenues that are designated for specific or restricted uses (other than special assessments, expendable trusts, or major capital projects) . These funds include gas tax funds from the state, state traffic relief funds, and storm water and local transportation funds.

Other special revenue funds include the Community Child Care Fund, Housing Authority Fund, Miscellaneous Grants Fund, Asset Seizure Fund, Air Quality Fund, Drug/Gang Intervention Fund, Host City Fees Fund, Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) funds from the federal government , and development impact fees related to libraries, public safety, and community centers.

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
Debt financing is occasionally undertaken for the purchase, replacement or rehabilitation of capital assets.

Separate funds are established to account f or the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, long - term debt principal, interest, and related costs other than those being financed by Proprietary Funds. The Public Financing Authority (PFA) Fund and the Taxable Pension Funding Bonds Fund are the debt service funds currently accounting for long-term debt.

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ADOPTED BUDGET

BUDGETARY BASIS

The budget is prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The budget for governmental funds has been prepared on a modified accrual basis. The modified accrual basis recognizes expenditures when the related fund liability is incurred. Revenu es are recognized when they become both measurable and available. “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilit ies of the current period.

FUND STRUCTURE AND ACCOUNTING BASIS

The accounts of the City are made up of funds that help organize and account for restricted resources. A fund is defined as a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts (comprised of assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures), which are segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with regulatory requirements.

The City has the following fund type categories:

GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
The governmental funds include the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Project Funds.

Governmental Funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.

PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
The proprietary funds, which include the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds, are used to account for the City's business -type activities. Proprietary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned, and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.

FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES
The Fiduciary Funds account for assets held by the City in trust or for the benefit of parties outside the government. The City budget process does not include fiduciary funds because the resources of these funds are not available to support the City’s programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The Successor Agency of the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) is accounted for as a private-purpose trust fund.

AGENCY FUND TYPES
The Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of results of operations. Agency Funds operate as a clearing mechanism. Cash resources are collected, held for a brief period, and then distributed to the proper recipients. The City has a fiduciary responsibility for the assets, which it does not own. The City maintains two agency funds. The City budget process does not include agency funds.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS

In order to amend the budget after adoption, the City Council must pass a resolution to increase appropriations, inter-fund transfers, and revenues. The Finance Director can authorize transfers within a fund or departmental budget that involves shifting appropriations from one account to another, which do not result in the increase in overall appropriations. A City Council resolution is not required in such instances.

FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 CITYWIDE BUDGET
The following sections discuss the City’s major revenue sources and their projected levels as well as major expenditure categories for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

REVENUE
Total citywide revenue for Fiscal Year 2025-26 is projected to be $ 233.5 million. The City of Colton is a multi - faceted municipal operation, and its revenue sources reflect the various operations of the City. Although most citizens associate property taxes with City government, as a revenue source, property taxes on ly account for approximately 4.2 percent of the City of Colton’s total revenue. The various utilities , which the City operates as enterprise funds, comprise 60.0 percent of total citywide revenues. Grant revenues are typically budgeted in the year the grant is accepted and carried forward to match expenditures, if applicable. Details of major revenue categories are discussed below.

CHARGES FOR CURRENT SERVICES
Charges for Current Services is the largest source of revenue in the citywide budget. In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the revenues in this category are projected to be $ 142.8 million, which represents 61.2 percent of the total citywide budgeted revenues. Fiscal Year 2025-26 charges for current services represent a $6.1 million, or 4.4 percent, increase compared to Fiscal Year 2024-25 year-end revenue projections.

The largest component of the Charges for Current Services category consists of the revenues generated to fund the cost of providing utilities services to residents and businesses in the City’s service area. Of the total $142.8 million of projected Fiscal Year 2025-26 revenues in this category, charges for utility and refuse services account for $123.9 million, or 86.8 percent.

OTHER FINANCING SOURCES (INLCUDING TRANSFERS)
Revenues in this category are projected to be approximately $27.7 million, or 11.9 percent of the total citywide budget. The Other Financing Source category encompasses a wide range of revenues, but predominantly consists of the General Fund Transfer, which equates to $ 16.9 million, or 61.0 percent of the total $27.7 million budgeted in this category.

EXPENDITURES
Fiscal Year 2025-26 Citywide Adopted Budget expenditures amount to about $242.7 million, a decrease of approximately $1.4 million, or 0.6 percent, compared to the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Original Adopted Budget of $244.1 million and a decrease of approximately $104.6 million compared to the Fiscal Year 20 24-25 year end projected budget. The primary reason for the large discrepancy between budget years relates to capital projects and grant expenditures in Fiscal Year 2024-25.

the project initiates or the year the grant is accepted and unspent appropriations are carried forward until expended.

Details of major expenditure categories are discussed following.

SALARY AND BENEFITS
Salary and benefits costs in the citywide Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget total $79.1 million, almost $6.3 million, or 8.6 percent increase compared to the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Original Adopted Budget of $72.8 million. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 salary and benefits category comprises 32.6 percent of citywide expenditures compared to 29.5 percent in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Original Adopted Budget and 21.0 percent of the Fiscal Year 2024-25 year-end projected budget. The primary reasons for the increase in salaries and benefits costs are the City Manager’s labor plan adjustment increases and Fiscal Year 2024-25 salary savings from vacant positions reduced the year-end estimate to close through the mid-year budget process.

MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 citywide maintenance and operations budget, inclusive of contracted services, totals approximately $108.3 million compared to $ 124.5 million in the current Fiscal Year 20 24-25 budget, which represents a 13.0 percent budget reduction.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 citywide capital improvements budget totals $16.5 million compared to $ 26.1 million in the Original Adopted Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget and $91.5 million in the Fiscal Year 202 4-25 year-end projected budget. Most large capital improvement projects take many years to complete. The entire project cost is appropriated in the year the project begins, and unspent appropriations are carried forward until the project is complete. Additionally, large infrastructure projects financed with grants and bond and loan proceeds are included in the FY2024-25 budget.

FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
As part of the development of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget, the General Fund revenues and expenditures are updated based on the long-term financial forecast of the General Fund.

The following sections discuss the City’s major revenue sources and their projected levels as well as major expenditure categories for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

REVENUE
Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund Adopted Budget revenues amount to $71.3 million, a decrease of $6.9 million, or approximately 8.8 percent, compared to the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Year End Projected Budget of $78.2 million. The year-over-year revenue growth is primarily attributed to the increase in property-related taxes, transient occupancy tax, use of money and property, and the general fund transfer, offset by a decline in revenue from other sources and licenses and permit revenue. Details of major revenue categories are discussed below.

SALES AND USE TAX
The Sales Tax is a tax imposed on retailers for the privilege of selling tangible personal property such as clothing, automobiles, and computers. Currently, and according to State law, sales tax is not applied to personal services such as legal, dental, or consultant services. The Use Tax is a form of sales tax and is applied, for example, on the sale of tangible goods from an out-of-state vendor.

The City receives a specific portion or percentage of the sales tax paid by a consumer. Of the current 8.75 percent tax rate paid for goods sold within Colton, the City receives 1 percent point of the purchase price and 1 percent district transactions and use tax.

Sales tax rates may differ across jurisdictions since local jurisdictions have some flexibility on a countywide level (e.g. county or city) to increase the local portion of the sales tax with voter approval. The local Sales and Use Tax is collected and administered by the State Board of Equalization.

Bradley Burns 1% Sales tax revenues are projected at $ 11.6 million in Fiscal Year 2025-26, which is a minor $190 thousand increase over the year-end close projections for Fiscal Year 2024-25. During the pandemic, many individual sales tax categories impactful to the City’s unique sales tax base grew unexpectedly. The current inflation and market apprehension are expected to continue to impact consumer confidence and sales tax projections for FY2025-26.

Voters’ passage of Measure S, a 1% local district transactions and use tax, in November 2022 secured the funding necessary to add several service enhancements for the community. The local district tax became operative on April 1, 2023. The FY 2024-25 year-end projected budget anticipated $ 10.3 million in Measure S funds, and the FY 2025- 26 budget, based on the application of the tax and the City’s sales tax base, projects $ 10.5 million in revenue to be utilized for general City services.

PROPERTY TAX
Under current law, all taxable real and personal property is subject to a basic tax rate of one percent of assessed value collected by local jurisdictions and school districts for general service purposes. There are other taxes and levies on a typical property tax bill such as parcel, General Obligation bond, and/or special assessments.

On June 6, 1978, California voters approved Proposition 13, a seminal change in property tax levies. This proposition 13 which added Article XIII A to the state constitution placed restrictions on the valuation of real property and on the imposition of the ad valorem property tax. The major change was that the assessed value of real property could only be adjusted upward annually by the change in the California Consumer Price Index (CCPI) up to a maximum of two percent per year. One exception to this rule, however, is that property that changes ownership and/or is substantially altered or newly-constructed would be reassessed at full market value in the first year and then subject to the CCPI or two percent cap thereafter.

Another important exception to the formula for increasing assessed valuations and taxes is that during periods of declining property values (e.g., recessions), the County Assessor has the flexibility to decrease assessed property values whether through appeal by property owners or through the Assessor’s analysis of value declines. In effect, this reduces the property valuation and tax. As market conditions improve, however, and values return or increase, the Assessor can then increase assessed values and taxes.

In following years, another amendment to the constitution was passed that allows local governments and school districts to raise property taxes above one percent to finance general obligation (GO) bond sales. This change has to be approved by two -thirds of those voting in a local GO bond election. For school districts, however, the voting threshold for approving GO bonds was subsequently lowered to fifty-five percent.

Dating back to the early 1990s, the state made numerous and complex adjustments to local jurisdiction property tax revenues to solve its budget shortfalls. In one such action in 1992, which is known as the ‘Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF), the state shifted millions of dollars in local government funds to school districts. As a consequence of this action the City of Colton has foregone millions, limiting its ability to meet its infrastructure needs.

The County of San Bernardino administers and collects property taxes and remits the appropriate amounts (based on law and a complex formula) to local jurisdictions. Contrary to commonly held views, the City receives a relatively small portion of the basic one percent property tax. In fact, the City receives 16.8% or 16.8 cents for every property tax dollar a property owner pays to the county. The majority of the tax dollar paid, or 32%, goes to the school district, 23% to the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF), which is apportioned back to the school districts, 15% goes to the County, 5.5% to Community College District, and the remaining goes to special districts and to the State.

CITY OF COLTON PROPERTY TAX DOLLAR BREAKDOWN

Property values in the City of Colton have grown significantly in the last couple years. Fiscal Year 2025-26 property tax revenue is projected at $8.7 million, which is $247.3 thousand or 2.9% more than the projected actuals for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Licenses and permits account for 2.6% of the total General Fund revenue. Business Licenses are the largest source of revenue in this category, comprising 40.7% of overall revenues in this classification.

FINES AND FORFEITURES
The largest source of revenue in this category is derived from traffic violations revenue. Other revenue items in this category include parking violations, code enforcement fines, administrative citations, fireworks fines, and library fines.

USE OF MONEY AND PROPERTY
The City invests idle funds in order to earn interest and rents City property to generate revenue . The total interest income varies with the market rates of interest and the funds available to invest. The basic principles underlying the City of Colton’s investment philosophy is to ensure the safety of public funds; provide that sufficient cash flow is always available to meet current obligations; and to achieve a reasonable rate of return on its investments. 35 15.h

REVENUE FROM OTHER AGENCIES
This revenue category includes revenue received from a variety of other local agencies, the state, and the federal government usually due to grants or contracts for services. The primary revenue sources in this category are the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) and Colton Joint Unified School District (CJUSD) Reimbursements for additional police services at ARMC and School Resource Officers in CJUSD schools.

CHARGES TO OTHER FUNDS
The General Fund recuperates the cost for services provided by internal service departments to Enterprise, Internal Service, and Special Revenue Funds through allocated charges.

CHARGES FOR SERVICES
Departmental charges are comprised of fees charged for services which are primarily provided by the following departments: Community Services, Development Services, Public Works, Police, and Fire. Charges for Services from departments are approved periodically by the City Council through the adoption of the Municipal Fee Schedule.

MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE
Miscellaneous revenue incorporates the administrative charges from the Electric Utility, the lease revenue from the Water and Wastewater Utilities, and all other miscellaneous revenues.

EXPENDITURES
Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund Adopted Budget expenditures amount to $73.1 million, an in crease of approximately $7.2 million, or 10.9 percent, compared to the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Original Adopted Budget of $65.9 million and a decrease of approximately $7.5 million compared to the year-end projected Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget.

Details of major expenditure categories are discussed below.

SALARY AND BENEFITS
General Fund salary and benefits costs in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget total approximately $54.2 million, a $6.4 million, or 13.4 percent increase compared to the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Original Adopted Budget of $47.8 million.

The Fiscal Year 2024-25 salary and benefits category comprises approximately 74.1% percent of the General Fund.

The primary reasons for the increase in salaries and benefits costs is the City Manager’s labor plan adjustments which were adopted City Council and included in adopted resolutions and bargaining agreements, increased required contributions to the City’s unfunded pension liabili ty with CalPERS , and Fiscal Year 2024-25 salary savings from vacant positions, which reduced the year-end estimate to close through the mid-year budget process.

MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund maintenance and operations budget, inclusive of contracted services, totals $12.7 million compared to $15.0 in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Year End Projected Budget. This represents a 15.9 percent budget reduction.

OPERATING TRANSFERS - OUT
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund transfers out category consists of transfers to the Taxable Pension Bonds Fund of approximately $1.7 million and an $898.3 thousand transfer to the Public Finance Authority for debt service.

HUMAN RESOURCES/RISK MANAGEMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ADOPTED BUDGET

INSURANCES FUND

The City is exposed to various property, liability, and personnel risks of loss. To address these exposures cost- effectively, the City is self -insured and maintains funds to cover the costs of these risks. As part of the Risk Management framework, the City also purchases insurance coverage for high-severity claims above the self-insured retention (SIR). Since July 1, 2022, the City has belonged to a governmental insurance pool, Public Entity Risk Management Authority (PERMA). This insurance pool is comprised of 30 other Governmental agencies, including 21 full-service and contract cities. This participation has allowed the City to share costs and risks with pool members while keeping the City’s self -insured retention to $500,000 per claim for worker compensation claims, general liability, and law enforcement claims.

All funds participate and make payments to this internal service fund based on actual costs to pay prior years’ claims and estimated costs for current claims activity. The cost of excess insurance premiums is also paid from these funds.

This function is funded through charges to all user departments.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ADOPTED BUDGET

DESCRIPTION

The Fire Department was officially established by the City Council on October 18, 1891, with the adoption of Ordinance 90. The Department has developed into a full service fire department, providing a full range of emergency and fire safety services, as well as City disaster planning, through four divisions: Operations, Fire Safety, Weed Abatement and Disaster Preparedness.

Emergency services are provided from four strategically located fire stations staffed by 1 5 firefighters (including paramedics) daily at each station. Department Headquarters/Administration and the Fire Safety Division are housed at Fire Station 211 which is located at 303 East “E” Street (on the corner of Tenth and "E")

The Fire Department is comprised of three divisions:

OPERATIONS

The Operations Division is overseen by the Deputy Fire Chief and managed by Shift Battalion Chiefs that are responsible for managing emergency response activities including fire suppression, emergency medical service, rescue, and hazardous materials respon se. Training, facility maintenance and equipment maintenance are also included in the Operations Division.

Firefighters divided among three shifts are assigned to the Operations Division. A Battalion Chief is in command of each shift and is responsible for coordinating emergency response, facilitating each day's activities, and administrative duties.

Fire Department dispatch services are provided through membership in the CONFIRE Joint Powers Authority which includes Apple Valley, Big Bear, Chino, Colton, Rialto, Loma Linda, Montclair, Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga, Running Springs, Victorville, and Count y Fire Departments.

COMMUNITY RISK REDUCTION

Community Risk Reduction provides enforcement through periodic inspections of all City occupancies.

Community Risk Reduction is also responsible for the fire and life safety plan review and inspections of all construction sites within the City, and the safety plan review for all fire and life safety protection systems.

WEED ABATEMENT

The Fire Department, through the Community Risk Reduction Division, conducts a comprehensive annual weed abatement program in the spring and fall for all unimproved vacant parcels within the city. Through the Public Hearing process, property owners are given notice twice a year for the abatement of weeds, trash, and debris on their vacant parcels. Those properties not abated by a specified date are then referred to the City's appointed contractor for abatement. The property owner is invoiced for this work, along with the City's administrative fee. All invoices not paid by the due date are forwarded to the County Assessor's Office for inclusion on the County Tax Rolls. Approximately 100 parcels are abated annually.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

The Fire Department is responsible for coordinating the City’s Disaster Preparedness Program. This Program includes the development and periodic updating of the Emergency Operations and Hazard Mitigation Plans, training the City’s Disaster Management Team , public outreach, and grants management. The responsibilities of Disaster Preparedness are handled by the Deputy Fire Chief and the Battalion Chief/Fire Marshal.

The Fire Department previously maintained a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) which was an active program to train and use citizen volunteers in disaster situations. Due to the loss of the ESC and the current rebuilding of Disaster Preparedness, the CERT Program is currently inactive.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

❖ Conducted four 10-day Firefighter academies, training seven newly hired Firefighter Paramedics.

❖ Conducted two Fire Captain promotional exams, resulting in eight successful candidates and four promotions.

Additional promotions anticipated this year due to retirements.

❖ Conducted two open Engineer promotional exams, resulting in six successful candidates and four promotions with an additional two anticipated this year.

❖ Conducted three training sessions for all city staff with EOC responsibilities. A fourth session is scheduled for July 2025. This training is essential to familiarize all staff on EOC functions and improve efficiency in managing large scale emergencies.

❖ Acquired a new Type 1 Fire Engine from the state OES to replace the previously provided engine which the department staffs and maintains to assist in the state mission.

COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 ADOPTED BUDGET

DESCRIPTION

The Community Services Department offers high quality programs and services to the residents of the City. It maintains its mission to "connect our community, through people, facilities and programs."

The Community Services Department encompasses four divisions: Library Services, Recreation Services, Early Childhood Education, and Hermosa Gardens Cemetery . Our operations span ten facilities, including four community centers, two libraries, a cemetery, childcare programs for school-age children at two locations, and State preschool programs at three sites. In addition to these core services, the Department is committed to supporting our community through Homeless Services initiatives. These include bi -monthly free food distributions, eviction prevention efforts, and the provision of community food, clothing, and hygiene pantries. To foster community engagement and wellbeing, the Department organizes seasonal events designed to promote a sense of unity and provide healthy leisure activities for families. The success of our mission relies on the active participation and support of the community in our programs, events, and facilities.

ADMINISTRATION
The Community Services Administration, based at the Gonzales Community Center, oversees essential services like Early Care and Education, Library Services, Recreation Services, Hermosa Gardens Cemetery operations, and various Park Development Projects. Our goal is to provide top -notch customer service, prio ritizing resident satisfaction. We tailor our programs, services, and facilities to meet community needs, continually evaluating effectiveness. We involve customers in program development and maintain high facility standards, adhering to industry best practices to ensure excellence in service delivery.

The Community Services Department plays a crucial role within the City of Colton's service network. It offers support to all municipal departments and actively engages with the community, forming partnerships to advance the shared objective of fostering community connections.

EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION
Early Care and Education provides care and education services through School Age Program and a State Preschool Program, at four locations: Cooley Ranch, Reche Canyon, Paul J. Rogers, and Wilson.

The School Age Program (SAP) is primarily funded by a California Department of Social Services contract and augmented with parent fees from both Private Pay and Family Fees from subsidized families that provides; before and after school care, full-day care (Winter, Spring, and Summer breaks), activities, snacks, on-site homework help and tutoring. It operates 246 days a year, Monday – Friday at Reche Canyon, and Paul J. Rogers school sites.

The State Preschool Program (SPP) is a contract program entirely funded by the California Department of Education. It is FREE, if income qualified. This program is designed and implemented to enhance a child’s natural abilities and prepare them to succeed in Kindergarten, both inside the classroom and on the playground. It operates 180 days a year, five days a week at Wilson, Rogers, and Cooley Ranch. All three locations are part of the States’ Quality Rating Improvement System, which stems from a National effort to improve the quality of Preschools using industry-recognized measures. Locally, in San Bernardino, the system is called Quality Start San Bernardino (QSSB).

All three sites were rated a four (4) out of a possible five (5).

With nearly 70,000 registered borrowers and a collection exceeding 100,000 items, the Colton Public Library System proudly serves our community. We continuously expand resources and adapt services to provide top-quality materials and meet informational nee ds. Since the pandemic, we've embraced a hybrid format, offering a mix of traditional services, virtual programming, and direct -to-go services, which have been well -received and serve as a model for neighboring libraries.

Our Library Services Division remains committed to adult literacy programs and school -aged homework assistance at the Luque Branch Library, offering both in-person and virtual sessions. Our literacy program provides confidential one-on-one tutoring for adults, afterschool homework help for students in grades K -8, and various family-focused educational resources and programming.

Our dedicated staff remains our greatest asset, with seven full-time Recreation Division staff and up to 100 part-time employees during peak seasons. Recreation Coordinators collaborate closely with Recreation Specialists and team members to ensure program s are purposeful, effective, and accessible. Regular communication with leadership and monthly team meetings enable flexibility and responsiveness to emerging challenges.

Community engagement continues to grow, with increased participation in programs, facility reservations, and special events. As we move into FY 2025-2026, we are committed to:
• Enhancing financial sustainability through sponsorships and in-kind donations. • Expanding digital operations to improve access and efficiency. • Strengthening community partnerships to maximize impact.

By setting measurable goals, prioritizing resources effectively, and fostering an inclusive, community -centered approach, Recreation Services will continue to enrich the lives of Colton residents and enhance access to quality programs and facilities.

CEMETERY OPERATIONS
The City of Colton has owned Hermosa Gardens Cemetery since 1906, managing operations directly until 1999.

Subsequently, a 55-year agreement was made with Inland Memorial in 2000. The lease oversight was transferred to the Community Services Director in 20 10. In March 2023, Inland Memorial changed ownership, leading to a new operating agreement with Cemetery Care Providers (CCP). Originally slated for December 2023, the City assumed full operation and management of the Cemetery on October 1, 2023, with a $4 00,000 General Fund appropriation approved for maintenance, operations, and capital improvements.

Contracted through October 31, 2025, OBI dba Omni Cemetery Management (Omni) assists City Staff in operational support. Their role includes daily cemetery operations such as sales, site preparation, maintenance, burial services, chapel rentals, grounds upkeep, and resident services. Collaborative efforts between City Staff and Omni aim to assess operations, digitize records, enhance infrastructure, and evaluate potential liabilities. This proactive approach enhances operational efficiency, mitigates risks, and strengthens the City's position to attract reputable vendors for leasing or selling the property.

ELECTRIC UTILITY DEPARTMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ADOPTED BUDGET

DESCRIPTION
Colton Electric Utility is the second oldest municipal electric utility in the State of California. Established in 1895 through the passage of an ordinance, the utility was created with the intent to acquire, construct, own, operate, and maintain a public electric light system to provide power and lighting for the city’s residents. The measure was approved by voters with a margin of 114 to 12, leading to the construction of the first power plant at a cost of $6,000.

For over 1 30 years, Colton Electric Utility has remained committed to delivering reliable and affordable electric services to the community.

The City-owned utility operates as an Enterprise Fund which is used to account for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of government -owned facilities that are primarily or entirely self -sustaining through user charges.

Enterprise funds are structured to operate similarly to private businesses, with financial reporting that reflects revenue, expenses, and overall financial performance, including profit or loss.

Colton Electric Utility currently serves a peak load of approximately 98 MW, with a diverse resource portfolio that includes shares in Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) resources at Palo Verde, Hoover Dam, and Magnolia Power Plant. In 2003, the Agua Mansa Power Plant was constructed, providing an additional peaking capacity of 43 megawatts for the City. Additionally, Colton Electric has secured multiple Power Purchase Agreements for renewable energy resources, including solar, wind , and landfill gas, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable energy solutions.

The Renewable Energy Resources Act of 2011 required that all electric utilities in California acquire at least 33% of their total energy sales from renewable sources by 2020. In 2016, new legislation increased the renewable requirement to 50% by 2030. In 2018, the California Legislature passed SB100, further increasing the renewable requirement to 60% by 2030. Additionally, SB100 mandates that all electric utilities in California transition to 100% zero -carbon electricity by 2045.

Colton Electric Utility has consistently met or exceeded California’s Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) requirements. For Compliance Period 3 (2017-2020), Colton Electric had a procurement target of 29.98% of its retail sales from renewable resources and successfully met this target. The utility remains on track to achieve the 60% renewable energy target by 2030. Additionally, Colton Electric significantly reduced its reliance on carbon -based energy sources following the expiration of its contract with San Juan Generating Station at the end of 2017.

The Utility has contracted for new, renewable energy sources to replace generation from San Juan. In March 2019, Colton Electric executed a purchased power agreement for 15 MW of baseload renewable energy from Ormat’s Mammoth Casa Diablo IV Geothermal Project, which has since commenced commercial operation . Additionally, the Utility continues to monitor developments in utility regulations and requirements at the state and federal level.

The Colton Electric Utility team of dedicated employees remain committed to providing the community with superior customer service and reliable electric service while planning for Colton’s future power needs.

The Electric Utility Department has the following Divisions:

TRANSMISSION/DISTRIBUTION
The Transmission/Distribution Division is primarily responsible for the installation, operation, repair, and maintenance of the City’s overhead and underground electrical system. This division plays a critical role in maintaining system reliability and ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of electricity throughout Colton.

To support uninterrupted services, the Transmission/Distribution Division also provides after-hour emergency response, ensuring timely assistance to customers experiencing electrical outages or service disruptions.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY & CONSERVATION
The Environmental Sustainability and Conservation division is responsible for the development and management of energy efficiency and sustainability programs within the City of Colton. The State of California Public Utility Code requires each publicly owned utility to allocate 2.85% of their annual retail revenue to Public Benefit Programs. Funds collected through this charge are allocated toward four key initiatives:

1. Services provided for low -income electricity customers, including energy efficiency programs and rate discounts.

2. Cost effective demand-side management programs that promote energy efficiency and energy conservation.

3. New investments in renewable energy resources and technologies.

4. Research and Development (R&D) programs for the public interest, to advance technologies that are not adequately supported by competitive and regulated markets.

HOST CITY FEES

In 1992, the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County of San Bernardino establishing a fee of one dollar per ton of waste disposed at the Colton landfill for the duration of its life.

Subsequently, in 1998, the City entered into a 15 -year Waste Disposal Agreement with the County. This agreement committed the City to deliver all controllable waste to a County landfill at a reduced rate for the term of the agreement. Including Colton, a total of 16 cities in San Bernardino County have entered into Waste Disposal Agreements.

This fund accounts for the funds collected under this agreement and have traditionally been used for maintenance and improvement of local roads impacted by disposal services and operations.

DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE EXECUTION AND RECORDATION OF THE

NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR THE CITYWIDE ROOFING TILE
REPLACEMENT PROJECT.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:

Approve the execution and recordation of the Notice of Completion for the Citywide Roofing Tile Replacement Project completed by AME Roofing.

BACKGROUND

The Citywide Roofing Tile Replacement Project focused on repairing existing tile roofing of the Luque Center, Fire Station 211 and Fire Station 214, as each showed standard wear and tear over their 30 -year life span. Generally, roofs are designed to last approximately 20 to 30 years.

During the rainy seasons, these roofs leaked in several locations, which created a safety concern for employees, residents, and customers. The scope of work included the removal of existing roof tile and underlayment, replacement of damaged plywood and facia, and installation new tile roofing.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

On June 18, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to AME Roofing for the Citywide Roofing Tile Replacement Project in the amount of $543,688. This project is now complete and it did not incur any change orders.
