City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 12 City Manager's Budget Message
Jacob Ellis
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers:
I am pleased to present the City of Corona’s Fiscal Year 2024 (FY 2024) Budget. The FY 2024 Budget is focused on ongoing sustainable funding for programs and services. This budget continues our focus on the City’s Strategic Plan and represents the City’s commitment to providing outstanding municipal services that support the highest needs of our community. Importantly, this Budget demonstrates our commitment to financial stability both in our short and long-term community investments.
The City of Corona 2021-2026 Strategic Plan was adopted by the City Council in February 2021. The Strategic Plan was developed based on robust input from Corona residents and stakeholders and identified current issues, needs, and interests that are strategically important to the community. This plan sets a course of action for the next five years by establishing priority goals for the City, outlining actions to achieve those goals effectively, and setting up a plan to report our progress to the public.
The City’s Strategic Plan goals provide the framework for the FY 2024 budget process. These goals include Stable Finances, a Strong Economy, Sound Infrastructure, Safe Community, Sense of Place, and High-Performing Government. Multiple initiatives have been identified for FY 2024 within each category to meet the goals as outlined in the Strategic Plan.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 13 The proposed budget includes funding for essential city services such as public safety, infrastructure maintenance, and community development. We have also allocated funds for new initiatives that will enhance the quality of life for our residents.
Of note is allocating funds to expand and improve our parks and recreation facilities. Corona residents have consistently voiced their support and desire for access to parks, open space, and recreational opportunities. This budget includes considerable funding to improve and maintain existing park facilities and expand recreation programs for all ages.
FY 2023 was filled with many accomplishments that furthered the goals of the City’s Strategic Plan. A major accomplishment from FY 2023 was opening the City’s new homeless shelter, Harrison Hope Center, to serve our homeless population. This has been a community priority for the past three years, and we are proud of the proactive work that has taken place to address this challenge head-on. This budget includes funding for the day-to-day operations of the Harrison Hope Center, which opened its doors in June 2023 and represents a critical part of our system of services for those experiencing homelessness.
Other accomplishments in FY 2023 include:
Completed the Downtown Revitalization Plan to guide current and future efforts and rebuilding Corona’s downtown core.
Completed a full year of legislative advocacy at the State level, to ensure the quality of life and other interests of Corona’s residents are represented at the State Legislature.
Completed revamp of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan to better position the City to compete for federal and state grant funding and deliver ambitious capital improvement projects.
Implemented new software to make the budget document available in multiple languages.
Launched a landscape maintenance district renewal initiative to ensure public rights of way throughout the City are beautified and well maintained, with a particular focus on LMD 84-2, Zone 19.
Completed an Economic Development Strategic Plan to guide the City’s business attraction, development, retention, and expansion efforts for a strong local economy.
Adopted an exciting new Community Events Calendar to enhance the number and type of community events to provide more attractions and activities for residents.
Completed our first annual community satisfaction survey to ensure resident input, priorities, and feedback continue to guide our collective decision-making and focus.
Completed the draft City Park Revitalization Masterplan, a major effort aimed and restoring and rebuilding the park to again be an attraction and gathering place for the Corona community and families.
And much, much more.
Budgetary Highlights
The total proposed budget for FY 2024 includes revenues of $439.2 million and expenditures of $437.3 million. All funds are balanced with current revenues and expenditures, and use of existing reserves or fund balance, as needed. The total budget consists of Fiduciary Funds, Proprietary Funds (Enterprise and Internal Service), and Governmental Funds (General Fund, Special Revenue, and Capital Project Funds). Only the General Fund is at the full discretion of the City Council for spending appropriations. All other funds are restricted in some way based on the funding source. Please reference the Revenues section, pages 55-64, for information on funding sources.
In FY 2023, our city team reviewed and revamped the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) program to include all potential capital improvement projects, whether funded or not, utilizing a 10-year time horizon and developed a prioritized implementation plan. This task is one of the key strategies identified in the City’s Strategic Plan under Goal 3: Sound Infrastructure. The CIP revamp process was a collaborative effort led by a working group with staff from multiple city departments that all play an important role in developing and implementing the CIP.
The first step in the CIP revamp process was to redefine the CIP as a “Long-term investment of funds to improve, repair, replace, or construct an asset, facility, or public infrastructure.” Next, revised program criteria were developed to determine specific conditions that a project must meet in order to be included in the CIP. Based on the revised CIP definition and criteria, a thorough review was conducted of the FY 2023 CIP and over 200 projects were identified that did not meet the new CIP standards. These projects were moved into a new Operating & Maintenance Projects section in the City’s budget.
Lastly, prioritization scoring guidelines were developed for each project to be scored on a 100-point scale based on the primary functions the project serves. Projects that score 70 points and above are considered Tier I projects to be City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 14 implemented in years 1-3 of the CIP; projects scoring 35-69 are Tier II projects to be implemented in years 4-6 of the CIP; and projects scoring 0-34 are Tier III projects to be implemented in years 7-10 of the CIP. These changes to the CIP program will provide clarity and structure to ensure the City is investing wisely in capital projects so our public infrastructure is well-maintained for current and future generations.
For FY 2024, the new investment in capital improvement projects totals $61.0 million. This investment will fund projects in the following categories:
Facilities, Parks & Open Space – $4.5 million
Streets, Traffic & Storm Drains – $26.3 million
Technology & Communications – $0.8 million
Utilities – $29.1 million
Significant project investments include $11.4 million for the Sierra Del Oro Lift Station and Pipelines, $9.5 million for Citywide Street Pavement Rehabilitation, $3.7 million for the Corona Drain Line Construction, $2.6 million for the Water Reclamation Facility #1 Aeration Diffuser Replacement, $2.4 million for the Glen Ivy Water Treatment Plant, $2.0 million for the Magnolia Avenue Bridge and Roadway Widening, $2.0 million for the Ontario Avenue Widening at I-15, $1.0 million for the Citywide ADA Improvements at Parks, $1.0 million for the Shade Installation at Park Playgrounds, and $1.0 million for the Ontario Avenue Widening at Lincoln Avenue. Please reference the ‘Capital Improvement Plan’ section, pages 138-150, or the separate 10-year planning document for project details.
Budgetary Changes
The estimated revenue budget for FY 2024 is $439.2 million, which represents a decrease of $52.8 million, or 10.7%, compared to the FY 2023 revenue projections. When compared to FY 2023 adopted budget, revenue estimates are decreasing by $34.9 million, from $474.1 million in FY 2023 to $439.2 million in FY 2024. The most significant decrease, $35.6 million, is in the Capital Projects Fund Type. The second largest change is a decrease of $16.8 million in the Special Revenue funds, this includes developer improvement funds, Gas Tax, Measure A, and Community Facilities Districts (CFD) / Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts (LMD) funds. The third largest change is in the Successor Agency funds, with a decrease of $1.6 million.
The proposed expenditures budget for FY 2024 totals $437.3 million, which is an increase of $35.4 million, or 8.8%, compared to the FY 2023 adopted budget. The net change is based on increases in the following categories: $13.2 million in Materials and Supplies, $8.9 million in Operating and Maintenance Projects, $6.2 million in Contractual Services, $4.2 million in Personnel costs, and $3.6 million in Utilities. In addition, there are decreases of ($0.3 million) in Capital Improvement Projects and ($0.3 million) in Capital Outlay.
There is an additional 23.29 FTE included in the FY 2024 proposed budget. Increases are in alignment with the City’s six Strategic Plan goals. Please reference the Citywide positions overview section on pages 116-127 for the complete list of positions added.
Challenges
In addition to the City’s many accomplishments, there are also challenges the City continues to work through on a routine basis.
Unfunded pension liabilities. With the issuance of pension obligation bonds, the City implemented a definitive, concrete plan to eliminate its legacy unfunded pension liability in 13 years or less. Staff will continue to be vigilant and proactively manage this issue, guided by the new Pension Management Policy. As each fiscal year closes, financial statements are presented to the City Council. Based on the year-end results, there will be recommendations about addressing any new unfunded pension liabilities through contributions directly to CalPERS or via the Pension Stabilization Trust. The pension obligation bonds and the Pension Management Policy will help provide long-term financial stability for the City.
Asset management planning. The City does not have a comprehensive asset management plan, resulting in a more reactive approach to maintaining and replacing public infrastructure assets. The development of the initial plan was anticipated for FY23, but due to recruitment/staffing challenges, it will be completed in FY24. The plan will identify all major City assets in one centralized system to help plan maintenance schedules to prolong the life of the assets and ensure the highest quality infrastructure at the lowest possible long-term price.
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 15 Downtown revitalization. The revitalization of the Downtown continues to be a top priority for the City of Corona and is aligned with the City’s Vision for a safe, vibrant, and family-friendly community. After a year and a half of community outreach, engagement, market studies, and strategizing a Downtown Revitalization Plan was adopted in September 2022. The Plan identifies the primary challenges in the Downtown, including public safety concerns, deteriorated infrastructure, lacking a sense of place, and the need for community events and programming. The Plan also incorporates goals, strategies, and design guidelines to address these challenges and create a cohesive vision and identity in the Downtown that will result in a thriving, vibrant destination. Several implementation efforts are underway, including the advancement of revitalization at the Corona Mall South and planning for the Sixth Street Beautification project, which will enhance pedestrian safety and street, sidewalk, and median beautification along the Sixth Street corridor.
We have worked hard to develop a balanced budget that addresses the needs of our community while being mindful of the economic challenges we face. This budget will allow us to continue to provide excellent services to our residents while positioning our city for future growth and success.
Thank you for engaging and participating in the budget process. Please explore the budget document details or try the online budgeting tools available on the City’s website. I want to acknowledge all the department staff that contribute to the budget process. So many details go into building the annual budget and this document. It is truly a team effort.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 19 Corona - Past and Present
The City of Corona is located approximately 45 miles southeast of Los Angeles in western Riverside County. The community is ideally situated at the base of the mountainous Cleveland National Forest on an alluvial plain leading down or north to the Santa Ana River. The mean temperature in January has averaged 51.6 degrees, and in July 74.8 degrees. Rainfall averages
2.71 inches in January and .01 inches in July. Corona is a General Law City. Five Corona citizens make up the Corona City Council and each is elected to a four-year term of office.
Historically, the area has many significant features: The Luiseno Indians, the site of the first Spanish family to settle in Riverside County, the Temescal Tin Mines, and some of the best clay and mineral deposits in the United States. The City is also renowned for its circular Grand Boulevard where international road racing events once took place. Other business firsts include: the first United States lemon processing plant built in 1915; and the world’s largest cheese plant, which opened on Lincoln Avenue in 1985 on land where the Desi Arnaz horse ranch once stood. The local Luiseno Indians were known as hunters and gatherers. They hunted for such animals as bears, snakes, rodents, coyotes, rabbits, birds and fish. They made straw baskets from wild grasses, constructed clay containers and gathered acorns, seeds, wild berries, and roots for food.
These Native Americans were very clean and used the hot waters and natural springs in the Temescal Canyon to bathe on a daily basis and as part of their religious ceremonies. Current residents and visitors still enjoy the rejuvenating mud baths and hot springs at the Glen Ivy resort. Luiseno religious ceremonies were strictly followed and remnants of some of their artistic pictographs and petroglyphs can still be found on some of the rocks in the undeveloped areas.
These Shoshonean Indian tribes came under the influence of the Spanish settlers at the Mission San Luis Rey, and they were given the name Luiseno. As Spanish settlement progressed inland, the land was soon taken over by the Spanish ranchos.
Sheep and cattle dotted the hills of the ranchos run by the Serrano, Cota, Sepulveda and Botiller families. Remnants of the Serrano tanning vat are still found on Old Temescal Canyon Road. This is also the route that was taken by the Butterfield State Route that brought many Americans to California along the southern route between 1858 and 1861. Plaques marking the sites of Indian petroglyphs, the Butterfield Stage stops and the Serrano adobe and tanning vats are still found along this road.
In 1886, developer Robert Taylor persuaded his partners: Rimpau, Joy, Garretson and Merrill to form the South Riverside Land and Water Company. Together they raised approximately $110,000 to purchase approximately 12,000 acres of good agricultural land. Taylor realized the importance of water for the soon to be developed community, and additional funds were used to ensure that sufficient water rights were obtained. Taylor hired Anaheim engineer H. C. Kellogg to design a circular Grand Boulevard three miles round. Early residents used to parade their fancy buggies on this circular street that enclosed the main functions of the community: schools, churches, residences and stores. To the north along the railroad tracks were the manufacturing plants and packing houses.
The southern end of town was left to the citrus industry, and mining companies were established just outside the city’s southeastern and eastern city limits.
The town’s founders initially named their development South Riverside after the successful citrus community of Riverside, just a few miles away. In 1896, there was a movement to incorporate and change the town name. The citizens were anxious to establish their own identity and did not want to be considered an extension of the City of Riverside. On July 26, 1896, an incorporation vote was successful and the City of Corona’s date of incorporation was July 13, 1896. The name "Corona" was suggested, standing for the circle within the City and the connotative crown.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 20 During the teens and twenties, Corona citizens built
numerous churches, a library and a new city hall. By 1915, the production of lemons was exceeding national demand, and local businessmen worked together to form the first Lemon Exchange By-Products Company in the United States.
Located on Joy and the railroad tracks, this cooperative was eventually bought out by Sunkist. In 1954, they employed more than 700 people and marketed a variety of lemon
products for worldwide distribution. The plant produced citric acid, lemon oil, lemon juice and pectin, which helped Corona to gain the nickname “Lemon Capital of the World.” As housing developments began to overtake the Southern
California citrus orchards, Sunkist found that the lack of a local supply was forcing them to move. They closed the
Corona plant in 1982.
Mining has always played a secondary but vital role in the more prominent citrus industry. Now that citrus has declined and the mines remain, they have again become a focal point in the Corona industry. Historically, this area was known for having the only productive tin mine in the country, and it produced tin until 1893. Other more successful mining ventures included the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (previously Blue Diamond Mine), the Pacific Clay Company (organized in 1886), Redlands Clay Tile, Maruhachi Ceramics, Monier Roof Tile and US Tile. By 1954, the city had more than 11,000 inhabitants and was home to such industries as the Corona Clipper Company, Liston Brick Company, Borden Food Products, and Tillotsen Refractories. The only oil wells in Riverside County were located in the hills just northwest of the town.
During the 1980s, both Southern California and Corona began to grow. The Riverside Freeway (Highway 91) was constructed through Corona in 1962. Downtown Corona went through urban renewal in the late 60s and 70s, razing the old and putting in a new downtown. By 1989, I-15 was constructed on the east of town, and the development of Sierra del Oro, Corona Hills, and South Corona were put into full gear. New commercial developments began opening on Lincoln Avenue, McKinley Avenue, and in Sierra del Oro. Price Club, Walmart, and the new auto mall became important parts of the City’s revitalization plan. In June 1993, the City opened the newly redone Corona Public Library at 650 South Main Street with 62,300 square feet of space. The new library not only devoted the usual space to adult and children’s services, but added a Friends of the Corona Public Library bookshop, exhibit gallery, Heritage Room, community meeting rooms, study rooms and an adult literacy program, along with expanded automated technology. Additional plans for revitalizing downtown were addressed at an October 1995 community charette. By 1996, Corona’s population had topped 100,000 people. There were 32 Corona parks, a Senior Center, gymnasium, and 30 schools in the Corona/Norco Unified School District.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 27 Open Data/Transparency Initiatives
About the Open Budget Initiative
The City of Corona is committed to transparency and promoting an environment of openness in regard to the inner workings of local government. To do that well, we are clearing pathways to promote an understanding of the allocation of public funds in the City budget. This is core to the promise of a readily available government which invites public participation and keeps itself accountable for the objectives and strategic goals which are developed as a result of this partnership.
Through www.OpenDataCorona.com, readers can explore data sets directly exported out of the City’s financial system. The web portal is mobile-friendly, encouraging citizen access and outreach.
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 28 The ‘Open Budget’ application is a guided view of the financial complexities of the City’s operating budget and presents ordinarily dense data in an interactive and easy-to-understand way. Users can also view an interactive map of capital projects currently in progress. The datasets include the adopted operating budgets, capital project budgets, and revenue estimates. In Fiscal Year 2021, the Open Budget platform was amended to include expenditure and revenue actuals which are updated on a weekly basis.
The ‘Open Checkbook' dataset includes payments made to vendors via the City’s accounts payable system. A search bar enables viewing across multiple categories.
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 29 Open Payroll
The City of Corona regularly provides employee salary and benefits information to multiple agencies, including the State of California. For historical information on this, please visit the State Controller website at www.sco.ca.gov or Transparent California at www.TransparentCalifornia.com.
Balancing Act/Taxpayer Receipt
In October 2017, the City introduced the Citizen Tax Receipt and Balancing Act budget engagement applications. The applications are designed to make the budget more interactive and transparent to residents. Both applications are available in English and Spanish.
The Citizen Tax Receipt application is intended to provide an estimate to Corona residents on where their tax dollars go. Sales and property tax funds are spent on City services such as fire, police, library, parks, street maintenance, administration, and public works. Sales and property taxes are split among several different entities, including the county and school districts. By simply entering your age, income, and the value of your home (if applicable), the tool will show you an estimate of your tax bill and where the money is spent. The application calculates taxes on real estate and estimates taxes on restaurant meals and sales tax activity, based on age and income. It does not include fees for water, sewer, trash, and storm water.
After reviewing the Tax Receipt Estimates, residents are given the opportunity to engage in budget allocations by utilizing the Balancing Act application. This portion provides a graphical representation of the General Fund budget. The simulator allows residents to adjust revenues and expenditures to create a balanced budget, while providing feedback on service and spending priorities which the City can use as it develops future budgets.
Open Data Dashboards - Corona Open Performance
In July 2018, the City of Corona launched Corona Open Performance - open data dashboards, powered by Socrata. The dashboards are a way for people to make sense of large amounts of data in a visual format. Site users can download the data sets in spreadsheets, flag data sets to watch or compare, create visualizations, such as maps, charts, and graphs, as well as embed the data into their websites. There are many data sets available for consumption that cover a variety of City operations, such as library and recreation patronage, social media, SeeClickFix, finance, police and fire activity, and transportation.
The Corona Open Performance platform will continue to evolve as goals and objectives are set and the City works towards achieving those long-term performance management targets. The City will continue to release additional data sets as they become available.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 32 Guide to the City Budget Process
Building the Budget
The budget is a communication tool which accurately and openly explains the cost of providing services to the community and other public agencies. In addition, it establishes the foundation of effective financial planning. The budget is a resource planning document, with City staff and monetary support as its primary tools for achieving its goals. It establishes fiscal controls and is the legal limit for spending. The Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 budget was presented to the City Council on June 21, 2023.
Significant Budget Policies & Guiding Principle
The Corona Municipal Code, Chapter 2.04.060 requires that the City Manager prepare and submit the Annual Budget to the City Council for approval.
Under policy directive and guidance, the budget is developed based upon:
Guidance and policy direction are provided by the City Council through the City Manager and to his/her executive leadership team.
Long-term financial plan which reviews at least 3 years of actuals with a 5-year economic and financial outlook.
The 2021-2026 Citywide Strategic Plan.
Federal, State, and Local law and emerging issues.
The City Strategic Plan outlines six major goals, which should be the City's primary focal points for investment.
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 33 Balanced Budget
The City is required to maintain a balanced budget. The total of budgeted expenses and transfers out shall not exceed the total of estimated revenues, transfers in, and use of any one-time funding or fund balance (including reserves). This information is summarized on the Schedule of Estimated Fund Balance Change.
Constitutional Spending Authority / Annual Tax Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) In November 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4 (Gann Initiative) and added Article XIIIB to the California State Constitution. In 1980, the State Legislature added Dvision 9 (commencing with Section 7900) to Title I of the Government Code to implement Article XIIIB. This legislation required the governing body of each local jurisdiction in California to establish an Annual Tax Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) on or before June 30th for the following fiscal year. The Gann Limit was based on actual appropriations during the Fiscal Years 1978-1979 and was increased each year using the growth in population and inflation.
On June 5, 1990, California voters approved Proposition 111, amending Article XIIIB. Proposition 111 allowed local jurisdictions to choose the annual adjustment factors. The adjustment factors included the growth in the California per capita income, or the growth in the non-residential assessed valuation due to construction within the city and the population growth within the county or the city.
Appropriations in the Annual Budget comply with the City’s appropriation limit as calculated in accordance with Article XIIIB of the Constitution of the State of California and Government Code Section 7900 (Gann Appropriation Limit), which limits growth in appropriations to a percentage increase in the cost of living as well as the City’s population.
The City Council will have a choice to adopt a resolution on June 21, 2023 that establishes the City's Tax Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2024 at $181,820,217. With an appropriations limit of $704,393,624, the City of Corona's proposed expenditure budget is $267,116,122 under the appropriation limit. The limitation is not a restricting factor for the City of Corona due to the high population growth after the calculation requirements were established. Historically, the City's "subject to limit" amount has been less than 30% of the appropriations limit. This factor will continue to be monitored annually and budget adjustments will be recommended if necessary in future years.
General Fund Balance Reserve Policy
The City’s General Fund Balance Reserve Policy was originally established in 2010. The emergency contingency reserve was $41.7 million as of June 30, 2022. The City also maintains a budget balancing reserve which is used to maintain critical services which may be impacted by sudden economic or legislative changes that may adversely impact City revenues. The City’s budget balancing reserve was $3.9 million as of June 30, 2022. In FY 2022, City Council approved $30.0 million to the Pension Stabilization Trust, the balance as of June 30, 2022 was $30.1 million. At the end of FY 2022, the Measure X Reserve was created. As of June 30, 2022, the Measure X reserve was $23.3 million. The total of noted reserves for the City of Corona General Fund is $99.1 million as of June 30, 2022.
Investment Policy
The City formally adopts its Investment Policy on an annual basis. It provides guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's idle cash and outlines the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management. The Investment Policy is in conformity with the California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq. The City Treasurer is delegated investment authority on a year-to-year basis. Within the constraints set forth in the policy, the City Treasurer has the authority to direct investment strategy and approve investment policy and procedures for the City's investment portfolio. The criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are safety, liquidity, and yield.
The Investment Policy is approved by the City Council and adopted by resolution. The policy is available on the Finance Department’s page of the City of Corona’s website at www.CoronaCA.gov.
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 34 Debt Policy
The debt policy is adopted as a means of standardizing the issuance and management of debt. The primary objective is to establish conditions for the use of debt, to minimize the City’s Debt Service requirements and cost of issuance; to retain the highest practical credit rating; to maintain full and complete financial disclosure and reporting; and to maintain financial flexibility for the City. The policy applies to all debt issued by the City and its component units. The policy is an important tool to ensure the use of the City's resources to meet its commitments, to meet the needs of the citizens of Corona, and to maintain sound financial management practices.
The Debt Policy is approved by the City Council and adopted by resolution. The policy is available on the Finance Department’s page of the City of Corona’s website at www.CoronaCA.gov.
City Budget Calendar
The budget process begins as a team effort in January of each year. The Finance Department works in cooperation with all City departments to formulate revenue projections for the upcoming fiscal year. From this, the individual departments use the projected revenues and existing fund balance information to prioritize and recommend the budget to meet the next fiscal year’s objectives.
The City Manager’s Office and the Finance Department review each budget proposal, revenue assumptions, and all current financial obligations, before presenting the proposed budget to the City Council.
For Fiscal Year 2024, two public study sessions were held to provide in-depth details, City Council and public input, and discussion about the City’s budget. With the implementation of Measure X in Fiscal Year 2022 (the City’s 1% sales tax measure), a large part of the conversation was to ensure the budget meets the community’s priorities with the additional funds.
April 13, 2023 Spring Financial Workshop – Revenues, Operating and Capital Budget, Service Adjustments May 17, 2023 Study Session – FY 2024 Proposed Budget Overview/Recap June 21, 2023 FY 2024 Proposed Budget presented to City Council City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 35 Budgetary Control and Amendments
New and continuing (multi-year) appropriations are set for City funds via a majority vote of the City Council. The legal level of budgetary control is at the City Manager and department level. Budget amendments within departments are approved by Department Directors, as long as the amendment does not increase the department’s overall spending authority as dictated by the current budget.
Any amendment which increases spending authority must obtain City Council approval by majority vote. Furthermore, an amendment to the City’s Capital Budget exceeding 10%, as explained below, requires City Council approval. This is because each capital project, having a specific scope, is awarded funding on a discrete basis, and therefore, is treated as a stand-alone budget.
As a practical matter, capital project budgets may be exceeded, from time to time, due to circumstances that cannot always be predicted in advance. In that event, departments are permitted to transfer up to 10% from a similar project within the same subprogram and have the same funding source. If this condition cannot be met, then departments are required to obtain City Council approval to increase, decrease or transfer funding which exceeds the 10% threshold.
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 36 Understanding the City Budget
The City Budget in a Nutshell
The City of Corona’s fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30 . Annually, through a public process, the Proposed Budget commits financial resources to a myriad of services and programs that the City provides. In other words, it commits funding to what we do. However, the budget also works to legally limit funding too. The legal limit is required because financial resources are finite. Therefore, the investments that we make (of these finite resources) into what we do (or want to do) reflect the priorities of the City and the direction of its future.
What Does the City of Corona Do?
In alignment with the City’s Strategic Plan, all City services and the cost of providing those services can be tied back to one of 6 Citywide Priorities which influence the quality of life for our residents. These are the primary components or goal posts of the annual operating budget.
Budget Accounting & Presentation
A formal budget is employed as a management control device during the year. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accounts of the City are organized by funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for in a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. City resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
The City budget includes information regarding estimated costs (or outflows) and revenue (or cash inflows) for identified programs, projects, and levels of service to meet the needs of the City. All annual operating budget appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year, except for items that have specifically received City Council approval and grant funded programs with a funding period that ends after June 30 . Capital projects typically span more than one fiscal year, and the appropriations roll forward (continuing appropriations) until projects are completed, placed into service, accounted for as capital assets, or abandoned at the discretion of the City or the City Council. st th
th
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 37 The City of Corona’s budget is prepared and based on five expense categories; personnel, supplies and services, debt service, operating and maintenance projects and capital improvement projects. The first two listed are considered operational in nature and are known as recurring costs. Debt service refers to principal and interest payments on borrowed funds (such as bonds or long-term loans). Operating and Maintenance projects are investments in systems or other improvements that do not meet the criteria of a capital improvement project. Capital improvement projects (CIP) are long-term investments to improve, repair, replace, or construct an asset, facility, or public infrastructure which cost over $50,000. These reside “outside” of the operational budget and are an example of a one-time cost.
Basis of Accounting and Budgeting
Basis of accounting refers to the timing of revenue and expenditure recognition for budgeting and financial reporting. The City’s financial statements and accounting records are maintained in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) of the United States and outlined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The accounts of the City are organized by funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The City collects and records revenues and expenditures within the following categories: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds, and Fiduciary Funds.
Governmental Funds include the General Fund, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and certain capital project funds which receive primarily grants or intergovernmental revenues (such as Housing and Urban Development - HUD). These funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis where revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period.
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and accounts for most City programs and services which are supported by general taxing revenue and/or fees.
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to specified purposes, often by legislative authority. For example, Gas Tax (Highway User Tax) and Transportation Urban Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues may only be used for certain street improvement and transit programs (and no other purpose).
The Capital Project Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, or assigned to capital expenditures, including acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets.
The Debt Service Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for the payment of general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs, other than enterprise debt.
Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned, while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. Proprietary funds include Enterprise and Internal Service Funds.
The Enterprise Funds are used to separately account for self-supporting activities that are supported by rates and/or fees. These funds include Airport, Electric Utility, Water Utility, Transit (Dial-a-Ride and Fixed Route Shuttles) and Sewer Utility.
The Internal Service Funds are used to separately account for departments that provide services to other City departments, and, therefore, incur costs that are then allocated to each receiving department. These costs include information technology, risk management, warehousing, and fleet.
Fiduciary Funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and are accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting.
Successor Agency (formerly the Corona Redevelopment Agency) and funds that are maintained to account for debt service obligations relating to certain assessment and community facilities districts are included in this category.
The City’s Capital Improvement Plan, which is a multi-year, multi-million-dollar effort, consists of a myriad of projects (organized CIP Categories) which are approved in aggregate by the City Council. Capital projects are accounted for directly in the fund (budgetary source). The City Council adopts the Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan along with the operating budget, and a separate document is published with a full listing of projects, new appropriations as well as continuing appropriations.

General Economic Outlook for California
During the early months of 2023, fluctuating key indicators led many experts to draw mixed conclusions regarding the fluid economic outlook. Strong jobs numbers and low unemployment rates allowed consumption spending to stay solid. Recent bank closures have tested the stock market and as a result, both investors and customers are nervous about the security and accessibility of their funds. One of the most vulnerable segments includes taxable discretionary merchandise as consumers are closely monitoring their own financial situation. From a sales tax perspective, the forecast does not differ from recent estimates. While no recession is anticipated, current year results are projected to slow and then decelerate into little or no growth for FY 2024. City staff continue to monitor the global, national, state and local stages for signs of change, which will have a material impact on the City’s revenue or expenditure budget.

The City of Corona has a diversified mix of businesses. The following are some exciting economic development activities occurring within Corona that will bolster the City’s economic condition:
Corona Regional Medical Center opened an expansion of its Subacute Facility, offering inpatient services with 24-hour care by a nurse.
EverHome Suites opened in September 2022 at the Foothill Center. The four-story 119-room hotel is a newly formed brand under Choice Hotels and Corona serves as its flagship location.
A 135-room Hampton Inn and Suites broke ground at the Bedford Marketplace in May 2023.
Latitude Business Park completed construction, adding more than one million square feet of industrial space and several new tenants are now fully operational.
Fender Musical Instruments continued tenant improvements on its 117,000 square foot expansion building.
LAB Holding LLC continues to move forward with the redevelopment of the Corona Mall with construction of the South Mall currently underway. Several tenants have submitted applications for tenant improvements to their respective spaces.
The City Council adopted the Downtown Revitalization Plan in September 2022. Several implementation efforts are underway, including planning for the Sixth Street Beautification project, which will enhance roadways, sidewalks, and medians near Main Street.
The Shops at Dos Lagos are completely leased for the first time in several years, with new restaurants and retailers that have recently opened or will open soon including Reunion Kitchen and Tempo Urban Kitchen.
Key Revenue Assumptions
Property Tax Revenue
Property tax revenues are estimated at $61.0 Million for FY 2024. This represents an overall property tax increase of 2.4% for FY 2024, when compared to the FY 2023 year-end projection of $59.6 Million.
Assessment roll growth is assumed to be approximately 5% when compared to Fiscal Year 2023. The City continues to see growth in the taxable assessed values for properties. As of 2022, assessed values in the City of Corona were at the highest point in Corona’s history. Property tax collected in Fiscal Year 2024 is based on a valuation date of January 2023. While homeowners are seeing increasing values in the real estate market, assessed value growth is capped at 2% City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 43 based on Proposition 13. The growth in assessed value is due to additional inventory and re-assessed value as property changes ownership.
Assessment roll growth is partially offset by delinquencies which affect the City’s ability to collect property tax revenue.
The delinquency rate is assumed to be approximately 3% for FY 2024, which is in line with normal trends for delinquencies. FY 2023 was also estimated with a 3% delinquency which returned the City to the prepandemic rate.
The Vehicle License Property Tax revenues are estimated to increase by $0.8 Million, or 5%, as that line item is based on the assessed valuation growth.
The Property Tax Receipts graph is a ten-year look at total property tax revenues. The budget for FY 2024 includes an estimated increase in assessed valuation. For the property tax line items where the delinquency factor applies, those estimates have been adjusted appropriately.
Sales Tax Revenue
The sales tax revenue category is estimated at $97.9 Million for Fiscal Year 2024, which represents a 0.5% decrease when compared to the FY 2023 year-end projection of $98.4 Million.
In FY 2023, the sales tax revenues are projected to be $98.4 Million, an increase of $8.5 Million as compared to the FY 2022 actuals of $89.9 Million. Measure X is the main contributor to this increase. Measure X was approved by a majority of Corona voters in November 2020. The additional 1% sales tax measure was effective on July 1, 2021. Original estimates were $30 Million on a recurring basis. Updated net estimates are $43.8 Million for FY 2023 and $43.8 Million for FY 2024. The net estimates include the sales tax agreement payments to be paid to businesses with those agreements. Adjusting for the 1% sales tax measure, normal sales tax activity is estimated to decrease by $0.5 million.
The following chart is a ten-year look at the total sales tax revenue category. Starting in FY 2018, an accounting change was made to move sales tax agreements (aka operating covenant agreements) from expenditures to a contra revenue account.
This change was to provide more clarity on the net sales tax revenue available for funding the City’s operations. A full listing of the City’s operating covenant agreements is available on the City’s website, on the City Manager’s Office page.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 45 The following pie chart breaks down the City’s estimated sales tax revenue by industry group for Fiscal Year 2024.
Highway User Taxes - Gas Tax and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)
Gas Tax revenue (Fund 222) is estimated at $4.6 Million for Fiscal Year 2024, an increase of 9.8% as compared to FY 2023 projected. The Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA, fund 221) is estimated at $3.9 Million for FY 2024. This estimate is an increase of 13.9% when compared to the FY 2023 year-end projection.
Provisions in the California Streets & Highway Code allocate funding to cities for the maintenance and improvement of public streets, roads, and highways. Revenues are collected from taxes imposed on the purchase of gasoline and fuel, and allocations are administered by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
California has experienced a shift in consumer preferences, from traditional gasoline-powered to more fuel-efficient vehicles due to tax incentives, rebates, and environmental concerns. This has resulted in reduced available revenues for cities and constricted cash flows needed to support critical street maintenance and transportation-related projects.
In 2017, the Governor approved additional gas taxes to fund street and road infrastructure projects throughout the State of California. The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, now known as the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), contains special provisions to protect the funds from being diverted for other purposes. Funding is estimated to provide $15 Billion for California streets and roads over the next ten years.
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 46 The following table provides estimates for both the RMRA Fund and the Gas Tax Fund. Both the RMRA Fund and the Gas Tax Fund were being impacted by the COVID-19 ‘safer at home’ orders over the last two years. Now that people are returning to work and other activities, this is driving the estimated increase for FY 2024.

In the Water Utility Fund in FY 2024, revenue is anticipated to decrease by $15.5 Million, or 19.9% over the FY 2023 projections. The decrease is primarily related to a one-time settlement received by the City.
In the Sewer Utility Fund, FY 2024 revenues are estimated to increase by $26,000, or 0.1%. The increased revenue estimate is largely based on interest on investments.

Zero-Based Budget
Effective with the FY 2017 budget, the City of Corona implemented the first phase of a ‘zero-based’ budget procedure, which is a rigorous, structured approach in evaluating each dollar that is appropriated to fund critical City services and programs.
Department directors were required, as part of this process, to build their budgets from ‘the ground up’ via a costCity of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 47 substantiation budget procedure that extensively reviewed the cost of citywide programs at a granular level of detail. This included several years of historical actuals, funding sources, revenue performance, and a review of the most commonly used commodities and service level agreements used citywide in the context of service needs and goals for the forthcoming year.
This year, the City set a goal to create a standardized three-year process, creating an in-depth zero-based budget review of departments on a three-year cycle. Each department reviewed three years of actuals and was asked to adjust their budgets accordingly so the history supported each request.
Salaries and Benefits
The salaries and benefits budget for FY 2024 has been prepared based on current resolutions or Memorandums of Understanding (MOU). All represented groups have negotiated contracts set to expire December 31, 2024.

Copies of their contracts along with the rest of the Executive group can be found on the City’s website (www.CoronaCA.gov) in the Open & Transparent section.
The FY 2024 budget includes base salary increases for all full-time positions effective in January 2024, approved as noted in the table above. The increase for employees in the Corona Firefighters Association is 5.49%. The increase for employees in the Corona Police Employees Association, Corona Police Supervisors Association, and the non-safety groups, including the Executive and Management/Confidential employees, is 2.5%.
With respect to health care costs, the budget is based on individual employee elections and the current MOUs or adopted resolutions. Health related costs in FY 2024 are budgeted at $14.0 Million which is a 9.4% decrease as compared to the Adopted FY 2023 budget.
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 48 California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS)/Pension Obligation Bonds In October 2021, the City issued pension obligation bonds to reduce the overall pension impact on the City’s budget and ultimately, save money. The action was officially approved by the City Council in January 2021. The bonds extinguished the unfunded accrued liability (UAL) at that time. With the payment structure of the bond issuance, the City anticipates a savings of $166 million over 20 years. On an annual basis, CalPERS will assess the investment returns and the City’s current and future retirees to issue an actuarial report. Staff will review the actuarial report to evaluate and address any future unfunded liabilities per the City’s adopted Pension Management Policy.
To achieve cash flow savings, for several years, the City of Corona utilized the annual lump sum pre- payment option offered by CalPERS. By making the full annual payment of the UAL in July, rather than spread over 12 months, the City can take advantage of a savings of approximately 3%. For FY 2024, the City is not utilizing this option due to the issuance of pension obligation bonds. Staff will re-evaluate this option in the future as new unfunded liabilities are assessed.
Other Post-Employment Benefits (Benefits for Retirees)
OPEB costs are estimated to increase by $229,897, or 2.7%, in FY 2024 as compared to the FY 2023 adopted budget.
The City is obligated to pay certain other post-employment benefits (‘OPEB’) to retirees, consisting primarily of retiree medical costs. To mitigate the further escalation of OPEB costs, the City established an irrevocable OPEB trust fund through the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) Program in March 2008. The current fiscal policy is to fund the annual required contribution (‘ARC’). The ARC is an actuarially-determined annual contribution that addresses current costs (for active retirees) and future costs (for eligible, current employees) which the City is obligated to pay.
OPEB costs in FY 2023 were budgeted at $8,599,755. The budget for FY 2024 is $8,829,652, which is an increase of $229,897, or 2.7%, over the budget for FY 2023. The budget is based on the most recently completed actuarial report which considers a multitude of factors to calculate the City’s contribution.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 56 General Fund Revenue Overview
The General Fund revenue in FY 2023 is projected to be $209.7 million. This is $205.8 million less than FY 2022 actuals and $14.9 million higher than originally approved through the FY 2023 budget process. Of the $205.8 million decrease, $222.0 million was for proceeds from long term obligations. This is a one-time item as a result of the pension obligation bonds issuance. There are increases of $9.4 million in investment earnings, $8.5 million in sales tax, and $4.2 million in property taxes. Other various categories had increases and decreases to make up the total.
The estimated FY 2024 revenue of $212.5 million is estimated to increase by $2.8 million as compared to FY 2023 projections. The FY 2024 estimates are growing by 1.3%. The FY 2024 estimates include the following changes over the FY 2023 Projections:
Property Tax FY 2024 Estimated: $61.0 million. This represents a growth of $1.4 million over FY 2023 projections. The estimated budget is based on an increase in assessed valuation of 5.0% which incorporates additional housing inventory for the tax rolls. It also includes a delinquency rate of 3.0%, based on a look-back of prior delinquency trends.
Sales Tax FY 2024 Estimated: $97.9 million. The estimate is an decrease of $0.5 million over FY 2023 projections.
Regular sales tax activity is estimated to decrease by $0.5 million and Measure X by $500. The sales tax category also includes Proposition 172 sales tax activity (for public safety) and a contra revenue account, allowance for sales tax agreements (AKA operating covenant agreements). A full listing of operating covenant agreements is available on the City’s website, on the City Manager’s Office page.
Other Taxes FY 2024 Estimated: $14.7 million. This is an increase of $3.2 million over FY 2023 projections. Cannabis tax is the largest contributor to the increase as more businesses become operational. The cannabis tax accounts for $2.8 million of the increase in FY 2024. Franchises fees are estimated to increase by $157,600 in FY 2023. Franchise fees are received from Waste Management, Ware Disposal, Southern California Edison, SoCalGas, and local cable companies.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues are estimated to increase by $200,000 in FY 2024.
Licenses, Fees, and Permits FY 2024 Estimated: $2.2 million. The estimate is a decrease of $45,300 when compared to projections for FY 2023. The largest estimated declines are from electric permits and occupancy fees. There are also increases in overload permits and alarm permit renewals. The bulk of the revenue generated in this category is related to building activity. As such, the timing of development projects has a large impact on this category. This group can experience significant variations from one year to the next. Also included in this group are permits for animal licensing and garage sale permits.
Fines, Penalties, and Forfeitures FY 2024 Estimated: $843,700. The FY 2024 estimate is a decrease of $45,822 when compared to FY 2023. The decreases are in city code fines, library fines, administrative fines, and other penalties. The remainder of the activity is from vehicle code fines and business license penalties.
Special Assessments FY 2024 Estimated: $679,215. This category is from public service assessments and is part of the tax roll. The FY 2024 estimate is an increase of $6,725 over FY 2023 projections.
Investment Earnings FY 2024 Estimated: $3.5 million. The estimate is a decrease of $285,715 over FY 2023 projections.
The estimate is based on current investment strategies and performance of the portfolio, and cash balance in the General Fund.
Intergovernmental Revenue FY 2024 Estimated: $2.4 million. This is an increase of $116,899 as compared to FY 2023 projections. The revenue generated from this group includes mutual aid reimbursement, and State and Federal grant revenues. Many grant related items are one-time in nature and are not a sure source of revenue in future years. This category also experiences fluctuations from one year to the next from mutual aid reimbursements, depending on the severity of the fire season.
Current Services FY 2024 Estimated: $11.8 million. This represents a decrease of $1.0 million when compared to FY 2023 projections. Primary revenue items in this group include plan check fees, engineering and inspection fees, recreation revenues, and the EMS program. As with the Licenses, Fees, and Permits category, fluctuations in building related activity can have a significant impact on this revenue group. There are increases in fire service agreements, EMS direct billed, property sales inspection, and after-school recreation programs. Additionally, there are decreases included for engineering and inspection, EMS subscription, facility rentals, and cannabis revenues.
Payments in Lieu of Services FY 2024 Estimated: $6.4 million. The estimate is an increase of $392,843 when compared to FY 2023 projections. The increase is related to the updated Cost Allocation Plan, which is reviewed annually.
Other Revenue FY 2024 Estimated: $11.0 million. The decrease in this category is $450,584 over FY 2023 projections.
There are estimated decreases in miscellaneous income for one-time items received in FY 2023. In addition, there are decreases in the sale of surplus property in FY 2023, damage recovery, and estimated donations. There is an estimated increase in special district administrative reimbursements.

California Proposition 13 sets the maximum tax rate at 1%, which excludes voter-approved overrides (such as additional taxes for community facilities districts). Proposition 13 also limits the growth in assessed property values to the lesser of inflation or 2% per year.
The City carefully monitors property tax, in conjunction with the County of Riverside Assessor-Recorder.
According to the County of Riverside Assessor-Recorder, of each $1 in your base 1% property taxes that you pay, only 8 cents goes to Corona's General Fund to pay for critical services such as (but not limited to) police, library services, infrastructure, parks, recreation, and fire.
Example: Home valued at $680,000
1% secured property tax = $544 to the City of Corona General Fund Corona’s Median Home Price (sold) approx. $680,000

Sales Tax
Sales and use taxes are imposed on retail transactions and are remitted to the State of California, which allocates the sales tax to state and local agencies. The program is administered by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA).
Generally, sales of tangible items in California are subject to sales tax, such as clothes, gasoline, vehicles, and most retail goods. However, not all transactions are subject to sales tax. Transactions exempt from sales tax include sale of certain food products for human consumption (i.e. groceries) and sales of prescription medicine. In California, internet sales (i.e. Amazon) are generally taxable too.
Staff carefully monitors sales tax, along with published economic data as well as HdL Companies, the City’s sales tax consultant. HdL and City staff provide an update to the City Council on a quarterly basis.
Effective July 1, 2021, the City of Corona sales tax rate increased by 1.00%, to 8.75%. This is due to Measure X, also known as the City of Corona Economic Recovery, Public Safety, City Services Measure. Measure X was approved by a majority of the City of Corona voters in November 2020. Revenue collected will provide additional locally controlled funds to address City services and community-expressed priorities.

Below is a table which describes other significant non-General Fund revenue sources. For additional details, please also refer to documents on the Finance Department's page on the City's website (www.CoronaCA.gov) such as the "Budget Resources Manual" and presentations from budget workshops.
Special Revenue Funds – used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenues sources that are restricted or committed to specific purposed, often by legislative authority.
Development Impact Fees (DIF) – Various funds Fees charged to real estate developers under AB1600. Fee is based upon the additional costs of providing public services to the new development. These fees are used to fund major capital projects.
Gas Tax Fund 222 and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Fund 221
A tax on gasoline per the California Streets and Highway Code. The use of this revenue is limited to maintenance, rehabilitation, or improvement of public streets (such as paving).
Measure A Fund 227 Comes from a 0.50% sales tax rate originally approved by voters in 1988 (in Riverside County). In 2002, voters
extended this sales tax rate through 2039. Revenue used to maintain and construct local streets and roads, and is
allocated by the Riverside County Transportation

The City receives federal funding from the Housing and
Urban Development Agency (HUD). CDBG funds may be
used for eligible projects and are allocated to benefit low and moderate income persons and/or to fund programs and projects to alleviate blighted conditions within eligible CDBG areas. HOME funds may be used for activities that increase and preserve affordable housing. NSP funds are used to
acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed properties within the City for future multi-family development.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 65 The General Fund net changes between FY 2023 and FY 2024 are from the following categories:
Personnel: Increase of $3.9 million. There are 22 full-time positions and 1.29 part-time positions included in the FY 2024 budget, many of which are budgeted in the General Fund. This category also includes the MOU increases for base pay as approved during FY 2022.
Capital Outlay: Decrease of $0.4 million. In FY 2024, there are decreases in machinery and equipment and licensed vehicles.
Contractual: Increase of $4.5 million. The largest increase in this group, $4.4 million, is for professional/contractual services. In the General Fund, there is also an increase for CAD dispatch services.
Materials and Supplies: Increase of $6.8 million. There are multiple increases and decreases leading to the net increase in this category. There are decreases in subscriptions, computer equipment and software, and internal service charges for information technology. There are increases in minor equipment and furniture, construction materials, program expenditures, and insurance premiums.
Utilities: Increase of $0.7 million. The utilities category increase is primarily due to electric utility costs and recycled water utility costs.
Debt Service: Increase of $1.2 million. The increase in this category is due to the issuance of the pension obligation bonds. That item caused a shift from the personnel category to debt service. The budget is based on the approved bond payment schedule.
Operating & Maintenance Projects: This is a new category in FY 2024 due to the revamp of the CIP program. These are projects that were once included in the CIP budget, but will no longer be accounted for there as they are mor routine in nature and don't meet the new CIP criteria. They are now their own category and will be shown within the operating expense budget.
Capital Improvement Projects: Increase of $1.3 million. The increases compared to FY 2023 are due to the one-time nature of budgeting for capital projects and the fluctuations from year-to-year.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 68 Personnel Costs
The main drivers for personnel costs are salaries, health care contributions, CalPERS normal employer contributions, overtime and comp time, and other post-employment benefits (retiree medical benefits).
Please refer to the Schedule of Positions for a historical overview of City staffing, including changes during FY 2023 and position changes authorized in the budget process for FY 2024.
The total citywide personnel budget for all funds is $141.8 Million (includes fiduciary funds).
All Funds Breakdown of Personnel Costs
(values in millions)
Salaries
Salary costs may vary as a result of changes in staffing levels, which occur either through salary savings as a result of vacant positions (authorized but unfilled), employee separation (attrition due to a retirement, resignation, or layoff) or new full-time equivalent positions (FTE) that are authorized in the budget.
The City includes a full-time position vacancy factor in the budget process for the General Fund and utility funds. Historically, there was a savings at the end of each fiscal year based on vacancies from attrition and other related reasons. Instead of budgeting 100% of the positions, a vacancy factor has been applied to FY 2024 to account for the savings at the beginning of the budget process. The savings will continue to be monitored throughout the year to determine if adjustments are needed.
For existing positions, the rates were determined using a lookback period of five years.
Vacancy Factor Applied: Sworn – Fire 0.0%
Vacancy Factor Applied: Sworn – Police 2%
Vacancy Factor Applied: Non-Sworn 4.9% average (varies by department, 0.0% - 25%) Vacancy Factor Applied: Non-Sworn Utilities 6.6%
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 69 CalPERS Employer Contributions (Pension Costs) / Pension Obligation Bonds CalPERS contributions are made up of two components: normal cost and unfunded accrued liability (UAL). The following tables reflect the City’s normal cost employer contributions as forecasted by CalPERS over the next five fiscal years, which takes into account mortality rates and CalPERS investment returns. The information is based on the June 30, 2021 actuarial report released in August 2022. The information from the actuarial report includes the discount rate (assumed rate of return) of 7.0% as approved by the CalPERS Board of Administration in December 2016. The employer's normal cost rates are calculated on base pay, special compensation and other PERS’able items. PERS is not calculated on overtime unless the hours are worked on a holiday.

In October 2021, the City issued pension obligation bonds to reduce the overall pension impact on the City’s budget and ultimately save the citizens of Corona. The action was officially approved by the City Council in January 2021. The bonds extinguished the unfunded accrued liability (UAL) at that time. With the payment structure of the bond issuance, the City anticipates a savings of $166 million over 20 years as compared to the CalPERS amortization schedules for the UAL. On an annual basis, CalPERS will assess the investment returns and the City’s current and future retirees to issue an actuarial report.
Staff will review the actuarial report to evaluate and address any future unfunded liabilities per the City’s adopted Pension Management Policy.
To achieve cash flow savings, for several years, the City of Corona utilized the annual lump sum pre- payment option offered by CalPERS. By making the full annual payment of the UAL in July, rather than spread over 12 months, the City can take advantage of a savings of approximately 3%. For FY 2024, the City is not utilizing this option due to the issuance of pension obligation bonds. Staff will re-evaluate this option in the future as new unfunded liabilities are assessed.
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 70 Other Post-Employment Benefits (Retirees)
The City is obligated to pay certain other post-employment benefits to retirees (‘OPEB’), consisting primarily of retiree medical costs. To mitigate the further escalation of OPEB costs, the City established an irrevocable OPEB trust fund through the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) Program in March 2008. The current budgetary policy is to fund the annual required contribution (‘ARC’). The ARC is an actuarially-determined annual contribution that addresses current costs (for active retirees) and future costs (for eligible, current employees) which the City is obligated to pay.
OPEB costs in FY 2023 were budgeted at $8,599,755. The budget for FY 2024 is $8,829,652 which is an increase of $229,897, or 2.67%, over the budget for FY 2023. The budget is based on the most recently completed actuarial report which considers a multitude of factors to calculate the City’s contribution.

Health Care Costs
The health care costs budgeted for FY 2024 are based on elections that employees made during the open enrollment period in October 2022. Employees can select a health plan option based on their hire date and respective bargaining unit. The health care costs include medical insurance premiums and medical insurance opt-out payments. The budget for health care was prepared based on the current Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) and resolutions for each bargaining unit. The health costs in FY 2024 are expected to decrease by $1.5 million, or 9.4%, as compared to the adopted FY 2023 budget. The decrease is largely due to the amount of employees who opted out of medical insurance. Per the MOU, upon providing reasonable evidence of alternative coverage as required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA)’s Eligible Opt-Out Arrangement rules, employee shall be entitled to taxable cash payments in the first two pay periods of each month in lieu of medical insurance.

Service Adjustments (Operating Budget)
A service adjustment change relates to new programs, service level enhancements, and/or new authorized positions. A capital outlay is a non-recurring operating expense, typically a one-time small equipment purchase, which does not meet the criteria of a new capital project (less than $50K).

The CSO also completed a multitude of tasks that freed Detective personnel to focus on solving crimes and increasing case closure rates, in addition to providing a growth opportunity to CSOs aspiring to become police officers. The first CSO assigned to the Detective Bureau was promoted to a police officer and recently graduated #1 in the academy class. It is anticipated that CSOs in this position will excel through the police officer field training program.
Police 4 Community Services Officer (Patrol) 2.00 $ - $ 178,560 $ - $ 178,560 Many of the calls received by Dispatch are related to past property crimes. The current Community Services Officers (CSOs) account for approximately 30% of the reports written in 2022. This has allowed Police Officers to be more proactive in crime prevention and enforcement.

Plans for the Business District Team are in the planning stages. With the Downtown Revitalization Plans for the downtown corridor, a continual police presence is essential to maintain order in the redevelopment area. The overtime would fund officers to patrol on bikes, vehicles, on foot, or through Unmanned Aircraft System platforms. The team's goal would be to ensure the safety of the businesses during the construction process and, in the future, provide a safe environment for the community to enjoy the new establishments. Until staffing a full-time team, staff will deploy via overtime assignments based on crime data for the area. This overtime funding will be utilized solely for the Business District Team program and will ensure consistent staffing opportunities in this area.

This funding would replace the flagship UAS with a smaller, more capable, supported platform. This UAS would also be utilized as the primary UAS for a Drone as a First Responder (DFR) program. To expedite UAS deployment, five (5) additional patrol/planned event UAS platforms are necessary, allowing each pilot assigned to Patrol to have and care for their own Patrol UAS.
Police 4 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Software - $ 15,000 $ 57,800 $ - $ 72,800 The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) program has expanded to 12 police officer pilots, who fly as collateral duty. The officers work various duties as their primary assignment and check out one of the available UAS's at the beginning of their shift to deploy if the need arises. The availability of a UAS on an incident depends upon the work schedule of the current pilots, as well as their availability at the time of the call. The UAS team would deploy a Drone First Responder (DFR) program to be more reliably available in critical areas of the City. During specific days/hours, the DFR would be kept on standby to deploy at a moment's notice. The first location would be centered around the downtown business district corridor to provide additional police support. The software allows the UAS's to be piloted remotely, and if successful, the program could be expanded to additional locations throughout the city.

Overview
The City’s annual operating budget includes provisions to ensure the prompt and full payment of annual debt service (i.e. principal and interest), which is incurred upon outstanding debt instruments previously issued by the City. Commonly issued debt instruments include bonds, long-term loans (with the State of California) or small issue, private placement debt. Prior to issuing debt, the City may consult with City Council, expert financial advisors, bond and disclosure counsel, underwriters as well as internal finance and capital planning staff. The ‘Guide to City Budget Process’ includes a brief overview of the City’s ‘Debt Policy’ which is also accessible on the City’s website at www.CoronaCA.gov.
The proceeds of debt are typically used to either finance the construction of infrastructure (rather than cash-funding the capital project) or to refinance existing debt at a lower interest rate (if market conditions are favorable). The City is required to pay debt service in accordance with bond covenants and indentures, which generally, may ‘pledge’ City revenue (and its ‘full faith and credit’) to guarantee that it fulfills its obligations to investors and provide remedies against the unlikely event of default. Prompt and full payment of annual debt service also ensures that the City maintains favorable bond ratings.
New Debt Issuances
In July 2022, the City issued Community Facilities District No. 2018-2 (Sierra Bella) 2022 Special Tax Bonds in the amount of $15,190,000. The bonds are payable from the special taxes levied on parcels within the district.
In May 2023, the City refunded the 2012 Water Revenue Bond in the amount of $20,085,000, the refunding generated
8.22% or $1,775,707 net present value cash flow savings.
Legal Debt Limit
California Government Code, Section 43605 sets the debt limit at 15% of assessed value. As reported in the City’s audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) year ended June 30, 2022, the assessed value was $24.0 billion and the legal debt margin as a percentage of debt limit was 6.987%, which was significantly lower than the State’s debt limit.

Inter-fund Loan Payments
The following are inter-fund loan payments of principal and interest. While there is a (cash) transfer that occurs between these funds for the items reported below, these have been shown as a component of ‘debt service’ (rather than as a transfer) to reflect the nature of the transactions.
With respect to the capital leases of Water and Sewer funds, each fund is required to make payments to the General Fund for the lease (and corresponding use) of the water and sewer infrastructure. These are interest-only payments through 2055.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 110 Interfund Transfers
An interfund transfer occurs between funds and involves the transfer of cash. Interfund transfers for the City of Corona may occur for a variety of reasons. Generally, transfers between funds occur to reimburse for services that occur in one fund on behalf of another fund. For example, the General Fund may need to be reimbursed for debt service incurred on a bond that may be issued on behalf of one or more other non-General Funds (which then receive a benefit with respect to how the bond proceeds are used).
The City does, during its regular business activities, establish interfund loans from time to time between City funds to properly allocate shared benefits and costs. To ensure the integrity of these loans, the City maintains ‘loan amortization’ schedules to ensure full and timely payments between funds, in the same manner that the City maintains debt service schedules to ensure that it fully and timely makes payments of debt service to external entities (such as bondholders) as debt service payments become due. Due to the principal and interest components of these interfund transfers, the City presents these items as a component of ‘debt service’ to facilitate public understanding of the City budget and reports all principal and interest payments by funds in the aggregate. Please refer to the ‘Debt Service Obligation’ section for additional details.

City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 111 Cost Allocation Plan
A Cost Allocation Plan, or CAP, is used to identify, value, and distribute indirect costs across city services. The CAP sets forth the reimbursement between funds for the indirect costs incurred by other funds. Procedurally, this reimbursement takes place via transfer. In the presentation of the budget, funds providing services to other funds receive reimbursements as a component of operating revenue. As such, funds receiving services from other funds report the cost of service (to be reimbursed) as a component of operating expense.
The CAP fairly and proportionately allocates the indirect costs that each program, project or activity should bear. It is a ratio of total indirect expenses to a direct cost base. Examples of direct costs include police services, fire services, parks, and recreation services. These examples are considered direct costs because these programs provide a direct benefit to the community.
The CAP assumes that all indirect costs are incurred proportionately to the direct cost base of the activity. These indirect costs are commonly referred to as ‘City overhead’ or general and administrative expenses. Examples of indirect cost functions are finance, city clerk and human resources. All direct City services and programs incur indirect costs.
The City utilizes a consultant to assist the City in the development of the annual CAP to ensure that it coincides with standard practices used by other cities. The City’s CAP is a ‘total’ cost allocation plan, which includes a citywide allocation of legislative costs which are incurred on behalf of all funds. Furthermore, costs have been allocated based upon budgetary assumptions for the forthcoming year.

OPERATING & MAINTENANCE PROJECTS
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 130 Operating & Maintenance Projects Overview
Historically, the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) consisted of Capital Improvement and Operating & Maintenance Projects.
During the FY 2024 budget process, the City underwent a revamp process in which the definition for Capital Improvement Projects was refined. This new definition meant true Capital Improvement Projects were to remain in the CIP, while projects that did not meet the revised criteria of a Capital Improvement Project would no longer be included in the CIP. Those projects have been labeled Operating & Maintenance (O&M) Projects and will now be considered a new category within the overall umbrella of operating expenditures. While Capital Improvement Projects are a long-term investment of funds ($50,000+) to improve, repair, replace, or construct an asset (lifespan of 5+ years), facility, or public infrastructure, O&M Projects are not tied to a budget threshold or involve construction. Some examples include: purchase of major equipment (excluding major equipment that would extend the lifespan of a current system), development of studies and plans, grant programs (i.e. HOME and CDBG), and routine maintenance (excluding major maintenance or rehabilitation that would extend the lifespan of a current asset).
New O&M funding for Fiscal Year 2024 totals $8,892,737. The following schedule lists all projects, grouped by fund, and includes estimated carryover funding and proposed Fiscal Year 2024 funding. Projects fall into one of the following categories:
FC - Facilities, Parks & Open Space
ST - Streets, Traffic & Storm Drains
TC - Technology & Communications
UT - Utilities

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 137
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN OVERVIEW
Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies capital projects, the necessary public financing required, grant and other funding opportunities, as well as the on-going impact to the operating budgets. The identification of capital projects to be funded is based on multiple factors including feasibility, community enrichment, asset age, historical preservation, safety, and preventative maintenance. During the FY 2024 budget process, the City reviewed and revamped the CIP to include all potential capital improvement projects, whether funded or not, utilizing a 10-year time horizon and developed a prioritized implementation plan. This task is one of the key strategies identified in the City's Strategic Plan under Goal 3: Sound Infrastructure. The CIP revamp process was a collaborative effort led by a working group with representatives from all across the organization that play an important role in developing and implementing the CIP. The first step in the revamp process was to provide a more concise and clear definition of what is considered a CIP. A CIP is now defined as a: "Long-term investment of funds to improve, repair, replace, or construct an asset, facility, or public infrastructure." Next, revised program criteria was developed to determine specific conditions that a project must meet in order to be included in the CIP.
Budget Threshold: $50,000
Asset Lifespan: 5+ Years
Construction Projects: Included
Purchase of Major Equipment/Assets: Included
If purchase and installation of parts extends the lifespan of a system.
Development of Studies/Plans: Not Included
Routine Maintenance: Included
If major maintenance or rehab projects extend the lifespan of an asset.
Based on the revised CIP definition and criteria, a thorough review was conducted of the FY 2023 CIP and over 200 projects were identified that did not meet the new CIP criteria. These projects were moved into a new Operating & Maintenance Projects section within the City's operating budget. Lastly, prioritization scoring guidelines were developed for each project to be scored on a 100-point scale based on the primary functions the project serves. Projects that score 70 points and above are considered Tier I projects to be implemented in years 1-3 of the CIP; projects scoring 35-69 are Tier II projects to be implemented in years 4-6 of the CIP; and projects scoring 0-34 are Tier II projects to be implemented in years 7-10 of the CIP.
These changes to the CIP will provide clarity and structure to ensure the City is investing wisely in capital projects and its public infrastructure is well-maintained for current and future generations.
Projects are classified into the following categories:
Facilities, Parks & Open Space Streets, Traffic & Storm Drains Technology & Communications Utilities
Funding by Program
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a comprehensive list of numerous projects across the organization. Specifically, the Fiscal Year 2024 budget recommends a total investment of $60.7 million across four (4) categories. Facilities, Parks & Open Space; Streets, Traffic & Storm Drains; Technology & Communications; and Utilities. The largest dollar category is Utilities with projects such as the Sierra Del Oro Lift Stations and Pipelines, Water Reclamation Facility #1 Aeration Diffuser City of Corona | Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2024 Page 138 Replacement, Glen Ivy Water Treatment Plant, and the Lester Post Disinfection Station. The second largest dollar category is the Streets, Traffic & Storm Drains, which includes projects such as the Citywide Street Pavement Rehabilitation, Corona Drain Line 9A Construction, Citywide Alley Improvements, and the South Victoria Avenue Storm Drain Construction.
New CIP funding for Fiscal Year 2024 totals $60,676,844 in the categories shown in the following table.

We engage in the community in Corona's parks and trails and through the Park Ranger Program, Park Ambassador Program, and Adopt-A-Park. These services strive to keep parks and open spaces a clean and safe place to enjoy the outdoors. We also relish in the abundance of urban trees we care for and are committed to maintaining a rich Urban Forest in Corona. Community Assistance provides transit throughout the City, housing assistance, and we are fortunate to oversee the City's special resource, the Corona Airport.

The purpose of the General Government budget is to provide a means for allocating resources for specific items that are of benefit to multiple departments and require special planning, implementation, and monitoring.
What do we do?
General Government and General City Responsibility relate to city obligations that are not readily assignable to a single department. It also refers to costs which may provide a benefit to multiple departments and programs. General City Responsibility also relates to the cost of utilities to service city buildings (such as natural gas, electricity and water).

What do we do?
The City's annual operating budget includes provisions to ensure the prompt and full payment of annual debt service (i.e. principal and interest), which is incurred upon outstanding debt instruments previously issued by the City. The proceeds of debt are typically used to either finance the construction of infrastructure (rather than cash funding the capital project) or to refinance existing debt at a lower interest rate (if market conditions are favorable).
The City is required to pay debt service in accordance to bond covenants and indentures, which generally, may "pledge" City revenue (and its "full faith and credit") to guarantee that it fulfills its obligations to investors and provide remedies against the unlikely event of default. Prompt and full payment of annual debt service also ensures that the City maintains favorable bond ratings.
Non-City debt service refers to debt service in which the City merely acts as an agent/trustee. In the City of Corona, this situation arises from special taxes levied on property within, for example, a community facilities district, which is then collected by the City to pay debt service. The City has the obligation to pay debt service, even in the event of a delinquency (by a property owner).

What do we do?
Citywide shared costs relate to items which provide a benefit to multiple departments and programs, such as citywide credit card transaction/processing fees, insurance premiums, and the General Fund's share of internal service charges for the information technology and warehouse functions.
One shared cost is the City's obligation to pay certain other post-employment benefits to retirees (OPEB), consisting primarily of retiree medical costs. To mitigate the further escalation of OPEB costs, the City established an irrevocable OPEB trust fund through the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) Program in March 2008. The current fiscal policy is to fund the annual required contribution (ARC). The ARC is an actuarially-determined annual contribution that addresses current costs (for active retirees) and future costs (for eligible, current employees) which the City is obligated to pay. OPEB is categorized as a personnel cost.

What do we do?
The NPDES Program administers the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program for the City of Corona. The NPDES program (Stormwater Management) is mandated by the Federal Clean Water Act and implemented by the State Water Resources Control Board with the goal of preventing pollutants from entering our lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans through stormwater runoff. Under the NPDES Permit, the City conducts inspections of businesses, construction sites, its municipal facilities, and responds to illicit discharges to ensure that pollutants are not flowing from private and public property into the storm drain system.
The Regulatory Compliance Program schedules, performs, coordinates, evaluates, and reviews permits, inspections, trainings, and reporting for air quality, hazardous materials, and related environmental programs. Regulatory Compliance ensures the City maintains compliance with Federal, State, and Local regulations for the City's assets. As new regulations are drafted, Regulatory Compliance attends workshops, engages with agency advocate groups, and submits comment letters to state agencies such as California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Air Quality Management District (AQMD). As draft regulations develop, Regulatory Compliance evaluates the changes from current policies and determines what the effect would be on the City's assets.
