What do we do?
The Patrol Bureau is the largest unit in the organization and is responsible for providing services by uniformed personnel. The Patrol Bureau is the first responder to citizens' calls for service. The City is divided into four geographical areas, each containing a deployment zone. Each zone is managed by a Lieutenant and patrolled by officers assigned to the zone. Zones enhance public access and community interaction, creating closer ties and facilitating citizens and police working together to address community concerns. Patrol staff participate in the Adopt-A-School Program, where officers enhance community relations by having a presence at elementary and middle schools. They also participate in the Run with A COP (Anti-Childhood Obesity Program); this partnership is with the 100 Mile Club® and the Corona Norco Unified School District to get the word out about staying healthy and being active. In addition, Patrol personnel participate in Coffee with a Cop, whose mission is to build community relationships between the Police and the citizens they serve. Units within the Patrol Bureau include:
The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Program enhances the safety and service provided to the community and its peace officers through the effective use of UAS technology. UAS enables officers to have access to complete information when responding to calls for service and allows the department to deploy its resources more efficiently and effectively.
The Jail Lieutenant and Supervisor oversees the maintenance and facility needs of the jail while managing and supervising the Jailers who process arrestees, conduct searches, inventory related property, verify arrestee’s identity, and complete related paperwork. The Jailers fingerprint and photograph inmates and collect DNA as required by law. Jailers transport inmates from field locations to the City jail and from the jail to other detention facilities.
Community Service Officers (CSO’s) assist in handling police reports and other various duties to assist officers. They also assist in non-injury traffic accidents and provide security-related information to the public.
The Field Training Officer, or FTO, Program provides in-field training to new or lateral officers. Officers successfully graduate from the FTO Program after demonstrating their ability to act competently as solo police officers according to the California Commission on Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) guidelines.
The Honor Guard Unit performs ceremonial duties at funerals (for active and retired employees and Line of Duty Deaths), retirement and awards ceremonies, parades, City events, and special community events.
The Mounted Unit provides resources and support to patrol and other police divisions as requested. The Mounted Unit is a team of specially trained, equestrian-certified police officers, who also participate in ceremonies, parades, holiday theft prevention patrol, search and rescue, criminal transient abatement enforcement, and other special events throughout the year.
The Facility Dog Program utilizes an Assistance Dogs International certified Facility Dog, “Raider,” to interact with community members. K9 Raider has been deployed to assist people impacted by traumatic events, witnesses testifying in court, and various community events and public appearances.
The Mobile Field Force Team consists of sworn personnel who maintain order, ensure public safety, and protect civil rights during civil demonstrations, community events, incidents of civil unrest, and riots. This team will be able to deploy and assist with facilities protection, disaster response, and mutual aid.

What do we do?
The NPDES Program administers the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program for the City of Corona. The NPDES (Stormwater Management) Permit 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 Permit, the City conducts inspections of businesses, construction sites, and its municipal facilities. It 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, training, 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 the 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.

What do we do?
The Utility Billing and Customer Care division serves customers with professionalism and respect while providing accurate billing and support related to water, sewer, reclaimed water, and electric consumption and services.
Goals & Objectives
What did we do in Fiscal Year 2025?
Handled 42,465 incoming customer calls with a monthly average speed of answer of 2 minutes and 37 seconds. Maintained an average monthly abandoned call rate of 11% despite the high volume.
Generated 558,678 utility bills for water, sewer, and electric services for both residential and commercial customers.
Processed 495,731 payments, totaling $110,544,135.99.
Surpassed previous goal by enrolling 2,571 customers in electronic utility billing (eBill) during the fiscal year, bringing the total to 8,687 eBill customers.
Met goal by enrolling 1,799 customers in the automatic payment program (AutoPay), reaching a total of 15,540 customers enrolled in AutoPay.
Received $55,118.43 from the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) providing assistance to 508 with outstanding water and sewer charges.
Received $1,132 from the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) to assist customers with outstanding electric charges.
Implemented a new customer portal that is user-friendly and offers enhanced self-service capabilities. Customers can now submit service requests, start or stop service, schedule payments, request bill extensions, and sign up for bill reminders and high usage notifications. Since its launch in December 2024, 513 customers have signed up for due date reminders, 717 for past due reminders, 73 for threshold alerts, and 33 for leak detection alerts.
Awarded a contract to Professional Meters Inc. for the installation of meters for the AMI project. This project will provide near real-time water use data, aiding in prompt leak detection and water conservation efforts.
Completed 94% of the network installation for the AMI project, with 13 of the 19 gateways up and communicating successfully.
Customers with new radio read meters can now view their daily usage on the new customer portal.
What do we plan to do in Fiscal Year 2026?
Maintain a monthly average speed of answer of 1 minute and 30 seconds or less.
Maintain a monthly abandoned call rate of 5% or less.
Increase the number of enrollments in eBill to 11,700 customers.

Launch the installation of meters for the AMI project. The project is expected to take approximately 2 years to complete the change-out of around 46,000 water meters.
Develop outreach strategies to promote awareness of the AMI project and the online portal. As the meter installations are rolled out, customers will be able to view their usage daily and set up high usage alerts. This will help them locate the cause of high usage sooner to avoid a high bill. The portal also offers bill due date alerts and past-due alerts. The goal is to increase the number of customers who sign up for these alerts to help conserve water and decrease delinquencies.

What is a Capital Improvement Plan?
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies capital projects, the necessary public financing required, grant and other funding opportunities, as well as the ongoing 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. City staff annually review and update the Capital Improvement Plan; however, only the current year budget is adopted upon approval of City Council. The future year forecasts shown in the CIP help plan for capital repairs, replacements, and acquisitions, which allows for careful and strategic financial planning. This long-term strategic financial planning ensures that the City sustains a strong financial position. The identification of a project within the CIP does not guarantee construction. The initiation of any project requires other evaluations and approvals that must be completed for a project to advance to design and ultimately construction. Moreover, City Council has the ongoing ability to review and revise projects based upon community priorities and financial resources.
Capital improvement projects, whether funded or not, utilize a 10-year time horizon, and are developed using a prioritized implementation plan. This task is one of the key strategies identified in the City's Strategic Plan under Goal 3: Sound Infrastructure – Strengthen City Infrastructure. Strategic Plan goal and objects are discussed further in the Strategic Plan section. A CIP is defined as a: “Long-term investment of funds to improve, repair, replace, or construct an asset, facility, or public infrastructure.” Additionally, the following criteria must be met in order for a project to be included in the CIP. Those conditions are stated below:
o Budget Threshold: $50,000
o Asset Lifespan: 5+ Years
o Construction Projects: Included
o Purchase of Major Equipment/Assets: Included
• If purchase and installation of parts extend the lifespan of a system. o Development of Studies/Plans: Not Included
o Routine Maintenance: Included
• If major maintenance or rehab projects extend the lifespan of an asset.
Prioritization scoring guidelines were developed for each project to be scored based on the primary functions a project serves. The guidelines are also intended to maintain consistency in application across all asset-managing departments by requiring asset-specific scoring methodology using unique operational needs and an objective scoring tool. The prioritization process provides that:
o Projects will compete only with projects within the same asset categories, which include: Utilities Assets; Streets, Storm Drains & Traffic Assets; Facilities, Parks & Open Space Assets; and Technology & Communications Assets. o Prior to inclusion in the CIP Budget, a simple high-level project score will be developed to aide in determining whether the project will be included in the next fiscal year CIP Budget.
o Project Priority Scores will be updated as the condition of the project changes or other information becomes available.
City of Corona
The table below lists the scoring weights taken into consideration when projects are scored. Projects receive points for each category from a minimum of zero to a maximum equivalent to the weight of the category.

Priority Scores for CIP projects, within each major asset category, have been grouped into the following Priority Categories. o Projects that score 70 points and above are considered Tier I projects to be implemented in years 1-3 of the CIP. o Projects scoring 35-69 are Tier II projects to be implemented in years 4-6 of the CIP. o Projects scoring 0-34 are Tier II projects to be implemented in years 7-10 of the CIP.
Though the City now has a defined prioritization criteria metric for projects going forward, it is important to note that several factors will supersede this system of measurement and will make projects a top priority. Those factors include: Emergencies, Immediate Funding Deadlines, Time Sensitivity, and Significant Community Impact. In addition, projects that were added during Fiscal Year 2024 have not been scored and were automatically identified as Tier I projects.
City of Corona
Projects are classified into the following categories:
Capital Improvement Planning Process
Similar to the operating budget process, the capital improvement plan budget process begins 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 capital budget to meet next fiscal year’s needs and plan for future year’s objectives.
The City Manager’s Office and the Finance Department jointly review each budget proposal, revenue assumptions, and all current financial obligations, before presenting the proposed capital budget to the City Council.

Financing the Capital Improvement Plan
The City utilizes multiple funding sources for its Capital Improvement Plan, including those that are legislatively set aside and committed to specific capital improvement projects, as well as other sources such as the General Fund and utility rates. The following information provides an overview of the resources available to fund and construct improvements:
General Fund
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City where all revenues that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement are accounted for. With the exception of subvention or grant revenues restricted for specific uses, General Fund resources can be utilized for any legitimate governmental purpose. A limited number of capital improvements are financed from this source since its focus is to fund ongoing operations. The General Fund accounts for most City programs and services, which are supported by general taxes and/or fees, including but not limited to: Property Tax, Sales Tax, Current Services and Investment Earnings.
Special Revenue Funds
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).
City of Corona
Successor Agency Funds
The Successor Agency Fund was established to account for the assets and liabilities of the Successor Agency to the former Corona Redevelopment Agency. The Corona Redevelopment Agency dissolved with the passage of Assembly Bill 1X26 on January 31, 2012. The Successor Agency Trust Fund accounts for the allocated revenues received to pay enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency, until all of the outstanding obligations have been paid in full and assets are fully liquidated.
For example, the RDA Successor Agency Fund accounts for the payments of enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency.
Capital Project Funds
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. For example, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund consists of federal funding awarded to community-based agencies on an annual basis to address various community development needs.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds were established to finance and account for the operation and maintenance of facilities and services which are predominately self-supported by user charges. For
example, the Water Utility Fund, support by Water Utility User Fees and Developer Fees, provides for the operations and capital improvements necessary to maintain and expand the water utilities, to meet the demands of commercial, industrial and residential growth.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Services 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. For example, the Information Technology and Fleet Operations Funds, both supported by shared services to other departments, provide funding for the information technology operations and fleet, including leased vehicle and replacement costs.
Amendments to the Capital Improvement Plan After Adoption Because the Capital Improvement Plan is a planning tool, both short-term and long-term, there is a high likelihood that subsequent amendments will be made.
Whether circumstances arise that were not anticipated, priorities change, events that were expected to occur do not take place, or any other factors, amendments to the CIP are sure to happen. In order for the CIP to remain an effective planning and management tool, it must reflect these changes, which must be reviewed periodically to make sure that they are consistent with City goals and policies. Upon adoption by the City Council, the City uses an amendment process to consider changes to the current year’s CIP.

Amendments requiring Finance Director approval:
At the request of a Department Director, and with the concurrence of the Finance Director, or his/her designee, transfer of funds/appropriations may occur:
o Between capital projects having the same funding source and in the same project category, as long as these transfers are cumulatively equal to or less than ten percent (10%) of the transferring project in the current fiscal year’s authorized budget. o When isolating or combining specific activity from a divisional section having the same funding source, within a departmental appropriation, to an existing or new project, as long as these transfers are cumulative equal to or less than ten percent (10%) of the transferring divisional section in the current fiscal year’s authorized budget.
Minor change to the title of a project.
Amendments requiring City Council approval:
The actual cost of a project changes significantly from the budgeted cost, so that an additional appropriation of funds is needed in order to complete the project.
With the approval of the City Council, transfer of funds/appropriations exceeding ten percent (10%) of the transferring project in the current fiscal year’s authorized budget may occur between capital projects.
The department decides to drastically alter the title or scope of an approved project or to add a new project.
If a department wants to modify future years’ capital projects, updated capital project forms must be submitted during the following year’s capital budget process.
