CIP Summary Reports
May 12, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:

I am pleased to present the City of Cypress’ Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Proposed Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP). It is a prudent, practical spending plan that serves the community well and advances Cypress’ legacy of conservative and awardwinning financial management.

The City’s long-term financial position remains strong despite the uncertainty roiling markets and chaotic federal fiscal/economic policy. Recognizing the most likely short-term outcome of these conditions is upward pressure on costs and downward pressure on growth, the Proposed Budget presents a cautious, status quo approach while the FiveYear Forecast projects a structural deficit that limits options to absorb cost increases or enhance service levels.

It is important to note that the deficits projected in the Five-Year Forecast are driven by both economic conditions and the City’s annual $1.55 million contribution of current year General Fund operating revenue to infrastructure projects. Historically, City Councils have made this important annual investment in Cypress' high-quality infrastructure and public facilities recognizing that infrastructure is a service the City provides to the community.

Like any other City department or function, the City Council’s commitment to infrastructure as a service is funded with revenues that would otherwise be available for operations and budget balancing.

The $1.55 million infrastructure investment of current year General Fund revenues has not grown since it began approximately 30 years ago. If it had been indexed to Consumer Price Index increases, it would be about $3.25 million in 2025, and if it had grown at the same rate as construction costs, it would be well above $5 million. To account for construction costs increases of as much as 40% since 2020, the Proposed Budget includes a Decision Package recommending the annual, ongoing contribution of current year General Fund revenue to infrastructure investment increase from $1.55 million to $1.8 million. The recommendation underscores the City’s commitment to infrastructure as a service but only restores a fraction of the investment’s purchasing power.

The City has projected similar small deficits for the past several years that, fortunately, have proven to be on paper only and resolved when revenues exceeded sensible projections and/or some planned spending did not occur. Nonetheless, Cypress’ longterm financial future must remain a top consideration for the City Council. This is especially true if Cypress is to remain one of the few established cities in southern California that have not increased the local sales tax rate nor assess a utility user tax.

Our industry-leading financial management practices are a justifiable source of community pride. Cypress is the only city to be recognized twice by former State Senator (and Certified Public Accountant) John Moorlach for having the strongest unrestricted net (fiscal) position among Orange County cities. The City also continues to earn recognition from the Government Finance Officers Association for its Budget and Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and our online, resident-friendly Budget presentation reflects the City’s commitment to transparency.

BUDGET OVERVIEW
The combined Operating and Capital Budgets are $80.6 million, an increase of 41.5% from FY 2024-25, and are balanced.

The Operating Budget (all Funds) represents $44.6 million (55%) of the Budget, while capital improvement investments total $35.3 million (44%) and capital outlay makes up $0.7 million (1%) of expenditures.

The City is largely a service provider and over two-thirds of the Operating Budget are personnel costs, with the majority of that in the Police department.

Projected FY 2025-26 revenues are $54.5 million, which is nearly a two percent increase from FY 2024-25. While General Fund revenues exceed operating expenditures, the use of accumulated reserves to support capital investments balances the Budget. Overall, the $26.1 million fund balance decline for all City funds is largely the result of the use of accumulated moneys for capital improvement program investments (including a $27 million storm drain pump station replacement project).

Key assumptions used to develop the Budget include:
 Reflects established City Council priorities and Fiscal Strategies  Sales tax revenue declines are based on recent trends and estimates provided by our sales tax consultants
 $457,500 of one-time General Fund set-asides fund one-time projects/programs  Current service levels are maintained
 Required CalPERS pension liability payments increase $794,000  City Council established reserves are maintained
 $2.35 million of General Fund resources are contributed for current year capital projects
 Negotiated and anticipated employee salary and benefit increases are incorporated General Fund Overview
The General Fund, the City’s largest fund and the one over which the City Council has the most discretion, is balanced with a modest projected decrease in total reserves.

General Fund Revenues
FY 2025-26 General Fund revenues are projected to increase $1,005,157 (2.4%) from the prior year and do not include any tax increases.

Economic uncertainty and inflation impacts make revenue projections difficult.

Accordingly, the Budget is built on conservative, but realistic projections that reflect the most up-to-date information available from the City’s sales tax consultant, property tax consultant, Cal Cities, the State Department of Finance, year-to-date receipts, and regional economic forecasts.

Cypress’ largest revenue source, property tax ($14.8 million), is projected to increase just over $0.8 million (5.8%) from the FY 2024-25 Budget. While Proposition 13 limits annual assessed value increases to protect homeowners, over time it has prevented property tax revenue from keeping pace with operating costs. However, the increase projected for FY 2025-26 is larger than in a typical year and is the result of significant assessed value growth due to ownership changes and new construction within the community.

Sales tax, the second largest revenue source ($12.6 million), is volatile, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Sales tax receipts have not grown as much as forecasted in recent years and a $335,000 decline from the prior year is projected for FY 2025-26. This is a reminder that ongoing City operations cannot become overly reliant on sales tax because it can decline rapidly from one year to the next. As such, the Fiscal Strategies are designed to limit budgeted sales tax revenues that supports City operations to a four-year average. Sales tax receipts projected to exceed the four-year average are dedicated for one-time expenditure. For FY 2025-26, the sales tax baseline average is $13 million which exceeds the sales tax revenues included in the Budget, so no amounts are required to be allocated for one-time purposes.

Up until about three years ago, investment earnings received on cash balances, had not been a major revenue source in the General Fund for over a decade. However, unprecedented interest rate hikes occurred in 2022 and have held steady into 2025. While higher interest rates are generally viewed as economically risky with the potential for negative short-term financial impacts to residents, local businesses and the City’s revenue base, the higher interest paid on Treasury-backed securities generates significant additional revenues to the City. Over the last few years, interest rates on Treasury notes have gone from close to zero to well over four percent. As such, investment earnings in FY 2025-26 are budgeted at the same level as the prior year and nearly $2 million more than the FY 2022-23 adopted budget. In short, the growth in investment earnings has in large part been responsible for recent Budgets being balanced without relying on the significant use of reserves.

As with sales tax revenue, it is essential that City services do not rely on an unpredictable revenue source like investment earnings. In response, a practice was incorporated into the FY 2024-25 Budget which allocates a portion of General Fund interest earnings to onetime capital projects when earnings on cash balances are projected to exceed three percent. For FY 2025-26, interest earnings are budgeted at four percent and total $2.2 million which results in an additional one-time budget allocation of $550,000 for capital projects, which is the same amount incorporated into the adopted FY 2024-25 Budget.

It remains imperative the City Council act as diligent stewards of the community’s resources, confronting new financial challenges, diversifying the City’s revenue base, and containing ongoing costs to limit vulnerability during periods of volatility.

General Fund Expenditures
FY 2025-26 expenditures are $41.3 million, an increase of $1.4 million (3.5%) from FY 2024-25.

The personnel expenditure increases are due to many factors, with the biggest impacts related to cost-of-living adjustments for all employees and higher required annual CalPERS contributions for unfunded pension liabilities.

Maintenance and operation increases result from several factors, including the ongoing effects of inflation on nearly all contract services, as well as several items included in the Decision Packages. Decision Package are summarized in the following table.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Highlights
The CIP is the City’s long-term plan for investing in facilities and infrastructure. It is a key component of the Budget and of vital importance to the community. The CIP balances new projects, replacement of aged infrastructure, and life-extending maintenance.

Comprised of projects that often span multiple years and draw on many different funding sources, the Proposed FY 2025-26 CIP invests $35.3 million. The CIP also includes just over $1.6 million for Recreation and Park District projects.

Fund Balances and Reserves
The Proposed Budget reflects the City Council’s policy of fully funding capital outlay replacements and employee benefit and self-insurance liabilities. All liabilities (with the exception of the CalPERS pension and retiree medical liabilities) are fully-funded and the Internal Service Funds have sufficient cash to pay all the required annual contributions for pensions and retiree medical costs.

The City Council has established a Pension Trust to help offset unfunded CalPERS pension liabilities, with a goal of having sufficient Pension Trust assets to fully offset projected unfunded pension liabilities by 2030. To achieve this goal, a portion of any General Fund budget surplus is annually committed to additional trust investments.

Importantly, the Proposed Budget conforms to City Council policies requiring a 25% General Fund Contingency Reserve of $10.3 million and a 30% CIP Fund Cash-Flow Emergency Reserve of $12.4 million. Neither of these reserves is expected to be utilized in FY 2025-26.

CYPRESS RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT
The Proposed Budget includes the Recreation and Park District (District), which is a distinct legal entity from the City although the City Council serves as the District’s Board of Directors. The City supports the District through fee-based general management; finance; human resources; information technology; and maintenance services.

District Revenues
District revenues are budgeted at $9.6 million, a slight increase of $42,673 (0.5%) from FY 2024-25. While overall revenues are flat, healthy revenue growth exists for property taxes and interest earned on cash balances, which are offset by a decrease of $415,878 for one-time State Proposition 68 grant for capital projects that was included in the FY 2024-25 Budget.

The District receives the majority of its recurring revenue (over 80%) from property tax, with fees for service (classes and facility rentals) historically being the other stable revenue source. The District’s dedicated property tax revenue remains a double-edged sword. It provides a consistent income stream with which the District delivers a high level of recreation services. However, under Proposition 13 property tax revenue growth tends to be less than both inflation and the longer-term growth rate of employee compensation due to pension costs and minimum wage increases. Fortunately, in times of economic uncertainty, property tax provides a reliable and steady cash flow and the District’s shortterm financial health is strong.

Personnel costs represent more than 50% of District operating costs accounting for reimbursements to the City for maintenance services. With its primary revenue source not expected to keep pace with inflationary expenditure growth in the coming years, the District must continue to take measures to ensure its long-term fiscal sustainability. In addition to regularly updating fees, the District must optimize operations; leverage revenue generating assets; and add non-property tax revenues.

Strengthening its financial condition is particularly important to enable the District to fund future facility and park improvements. Current revenues are sufficient to pay for operations and some capital projects (including the annual repayment associated with the $33.5 million reconstruction project at Arnold Cypress Park) but are insufficient to provide for future major rehabilitation.

District Expenditures
The District Budget is $10.9 million, which is $756,163 more than FY 2024-25 due to several factors. Personnel costs increase 5.0%, reflecting the ongoing impact of minimum wage increases, higher pension costs, cost-of-living salary increases, and several newer employees still moving through their salary ranges.

Maintenance and operations expenditures have increased when compared to FY 2024- 25, with the largest increase related to maintenance costs for the newly reconstructed Arnold Cypress Park. Additional impacts include, higher contract service costs brought on by inflation and the tight labor market, as well cost increases for materials and equipment.

District Capital Improvement Projects
The FY 2024-25 Amended Budget includes approximately $23 million for the reconstruction of Arnold Cypress Park. This project is funded by a loan from the City’s Infrastructure Fund and, starting next month, a payment of $2 million will be repaid annually on June 30th by the District using available property tax revenues.

Future capital projects will continue to be prioritized based on the facilities inventory and condition assessment and the availability of resources. With the large commitment of resources to Arnold Cypress Park, FY 2025-26 CIP projects are programmed at a fairly modest level, and are summarized and discussed in the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget.

CONCLUSION
The FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget funds a strong municipal corporation and a remarkable group of employees. I am enormously proud of Team Cypress’ service to our community and have immense confidence in our ability to respond to challenges.

The City Council’s long-standing practice of strategically investing limited resources has Cypress well prepared for whatever lies ahead – assuming we continue our constrained approach to municipal operations and remain focused on core services. In the face of the great uncertainty that colors this Proposed Budget, it is worth remembering that Cypress emerged from the Great Recession and the COVID-19 Pandemic a stronger community and organization.

The FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget embodies the City Council’s dedication to careful and transparent financial management - a commitment that spans generations of Cypress City Councils. Astute financial management is the most important way we sustain the community’s success and political stability, retain skilled leadership, and partner with our employees.

I am deeply grateful to our department Directors and their teams for the unwavering commitment to deliver quality services to our community and to realize the City’s Mission Statement:

Cypress is a safe and welcoming community delivering excellent services for our residents, neighborhoods, and businesses.

FISCAL YEAR 2025-26

Since 2019, Cypress has partnered with other north Orange County cities to operate two navigation centers/shelters (one in Buena Park and one in Placentia) that provide supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness. The partnership was created as part of a legal settlement and, as required by a 10-year operating agreement in place through 2030, the city funds a portion of the navigation centers' operating costs. The city's funding obligation is determined by the navigation center's operational needs and available State funding. The net cost to operate the navigation costs has increased significantly over the past few years as State funding has been delayed/unavailable. The FY 2024-25 Budget includes $300,000 as Cypress' share of the navigation centers, but the cost is currently estimated at nearly $400,000. To account for the cost trends, the FY 2025-26 Budget includes a $125,000 increase (to $425,000).

Cypress' participation in the North Orange County SPA navigation centers provides vital services to individuals experiencing homelessness and is a critical element in maintaining the city's ability to ensure public safety, enforce the Municipal Code and comply with Housing Element mandates.

Not applicable. $125,000 increase to the General Fund for North OC SPA navigation centers.

FISCAL YEAR 2025-26

Using funds from a State pilot program, the city added a School Resource Officer (SRO) to the Police department in FY 2021-22. The pilot program's funding will soon be exhausted, and the city must fund the position in the General Fund or eliminate the SRO/another Police Office position. The SRO program has proven very effective and the city is negotiating a partnership with Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD) to split (50/50) the salary and benefits cost of the SRO, with the city responsible for the other (e.g. equipment, vehicle, etc.) costs. The FY 2025-26 includes revenue of approximately $102,000 from AUHSD for the SRO program.

The SRO program provides immediate response to incidents, deters crime, and develops positive relationships with students. The SRO supports school administrators with crisis response, threat assessments, and mentoring that contributes to long-term crime prevention. The SRO program also strengthens community trust and both AUHSD and the Police department report the program has been a success. Not applicable. The FY 2025-26 salary and benefits cost for the SRO is $203,705. The agreement contemplated with AUHSD will reimburse the city for 50% of the salary and benefits cost (approx. $102,000). In FY 2025-26, remaining funding from the North OC Public Safety Collaborative will offset a portion of the City's cost.

The State mandates cities update the Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation Element of their General Plans as a follow-on to Housing Element updates. The General Plan updates must address issues surrounding emergency resources, evacuation routes, climate resilience, and open space arising from potential increases in residential density. Like the Housing Element update, this mandate requires additional outside resources and expertise.

The state mandates cities update their General Plan Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation Element by January 1, 2026.

Expenditure of $150,000. None.

Location analytics information provides insight about attendance at community events, commercial/retail center activity, consumer behavior, and demographic trends that can inform City Council decision-making, forecast community trends/needs, and guide resource allocation. $100,000 should provide access to this valuable information for three years. Location analytics can enhance city operations across departments by supporting business attraction and retention efforts; identifying sales tax leakage; optimizing Police deployment strategies; analyzing traffic patterns; and reporting attendance at city events/facilities over time. $100,000 (covering three years) funded with the remaining pandemic recovery set-asides for Phase III of Economic Development Programs.

None.

Prior to its reconstruction, Arnold Cypress Park’s (ACP) antiquated layout left it susceptible to afterhours vandalism and criminal activity. As the new park is established, this one-time contingency funding (above the annual maintenance budget) will help provide for rapid and complete response should any of the park’s prior challenges return. The appropriation also enables necessary operational adjustments outside the recurring park maintenance budget.

Timely repairs, responding to vandalism, replacing damaged amenities, and day porter/security services will establish ACP's reputation as first class, safe place for residents of all ages. $50,000 None.

CITY OF CYPRESS
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26

For decades, the city has recognized that infrastructure is a service it provides to the community and that it requires ongoing investment. Since the 1990s, the City Council has budgeted $1.55 million of current year General Fund revenue for routine, recurring infrastructure projects (street resurfacing, concrete rehabilitation, storm drainage, and facilities). Over the past 30 years, inflation has reduced the $1.55 million's purchasing power by at least 50%. An additional $250,000 appropriation of ongoing General Fund revenue ($200,000 for street projects and $50,000 for facility projects) is recommended to address the impact of inflation.

This investment will help maintain the city's infrastructure investment and purchasing power, and slow draws from the Infrastructure Bank required to deliver the street, storm water, facility, and concrete projects identified in the CIP.

Not applicable. $250,000 annually from the General Fund.

Five-Year General Fund Forecast
The Five-Year General Fund Forecast identifies both current and upcoming challenges and provides a longer-term outlook of the City’s revenue and expenditure trends. The Forecast is not a prediction; rather, it reflects the effects of anticipated changes to key revenues and expenditures that drive the City’s economic condition. It does not anticipate any actions the City Council or city management may take during the Forecast period to address the City’s financial condition. The Forecast is limited to the General Fund since the majority of the City’s operations are in the General Fund and all unrestricted revenues are recorded here. The Five-Year Forecast is a guide in preparing future budgets and helps to identify challenges during the Forecast period in a manner that enables the City Council to respond to them strategically.

The first year of the Forecast is the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget and reflects known economic conditions, trends, and assumptions. The Forecast considers General Fund revenues and expenditures each year – it does not consider the use of reserves and, as a result, reflects a deficit for each of the five years.

Cypress, like other local governments, will continue to experience significant challenges over the next five years due to ongoing uncertainties associated with economic policy, market volatility, inflation impacts, threat of recession and continued expenditure growth due to rising pension costs.

> Sales Tax Baseline established to mitigate sales tax volatility impacts and is based on a four-year rolling average of annual sales tax receipts; receipts over the baseline will be used for one-time purposes and are deducted from available resources available to support current year operations
> Investment Income Baseline established to mitigate investment income volatility based on an annual return of three percent. All forecasted earnings in excess of three percent are transferred for one-time capital project expenditures > $1.8 million is allocated annually for capital projects; plus any amounts available from the annual Investment Income Baseline calculation
> The 25% General Fund contingency adjusted annually using available, current year resources > Funding for future capital projects is limited to sales tax baseline amounts (if not used for other one-time purposes) > General Liability Insurance, Workers Compensation Insurance, Employee Benefits, and Equipment Replacement are fully funded
Long-Term Concerns
The Forecast indicates a structural deficit in the General Fund starting in FY 2025-26 and growing to $1.4 million by FY 2029-30. The deficit is the result of many issues – including sales tax stagnation, inflation and its impacts on expenditures and the ongoing increases in required pension payments to CalPERS.

Prudent, strategic and disciplined budget decision-making through the years has allowed Cypress to accumulate sufficient reserves in the General Fund that could be available to backfill the projected budget deficits. However, the ongoing use of reserves is not a viable long-term solution for remedying a structural deficit. As additional information and economic data become available, City management and the City Council will work to develop a plan to ensure the General Fund budget is balanced and sustainable for the long-term.

Another challenge during the Forecast is identifying resources for capital projects. Historically, thanks to the sound planning and discipline referenced above, the City has been able to set-aside significant General Fund revenues for capital projects. As forecasted, the City will be unable to set-aside significant General Fund revenue for future capital projects as in prior years.

The Forecast incorporates the minimum transfer of $1.8 million, increased in FY 2025-26 from $1.55 million, annually for current year capital projects, which is necessary to assist with meeting State and local maintenance of effort requirements and offset rising project costs.

Budget Process
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Cypress’ financial planning. The City operates on a fiscal year basis, beginning July 1st and ending June 30th. The budget is prepared under the supervision of the City Manager and submitted to the City Council for deliberation and adoption prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.

The City follows these procedures in establishing the
budgetary data: After January 1, department heads prepare estimates for required appropriations for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The proposed budget
includes estimated expenditures and forecasted revenues for the fiscal year. The data is presented to the City Manager for review. The operating budget includes a summary of the proposed expenditures and financial resources, as well as data for the preceding fiscal period. Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an adopting resolution.

Upon adoption by the City Council, the City maintains
budgetary controls to ensure compliance with legal
provisions embodied in the annual budget. The City Manager is responsible for administration of the adopted annual budget, and during the fiscal year may make transfers of unencumbered appropriation balances between departments within the same fund. Any supplemental appropriations must be approved by the Cypress City Council.

City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2025-2026
19 Budget Overview
Basis of Accounting and Budgeting
The City’s annual audited financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) for U.S. state and local government agencies.

The basis of accounting is used to determine when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the financial statements. The governmental fund financial statements and budget are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting, while the enterprise and internal service funds use the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.

Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when they are measurable and available and expenditures are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined, and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers revenues available when they are collected within 60 days of the end of the fiscal period. Revenues susceptible to accrual include property taxes, franchise taxes, sales taxes, interest and some grant revenues.

Fund Structure
The City utilizes a fund-based accounting structure. Individual funds operate as a self-balancing set of accounts. There are three main types of funds: Governmental, Proprietary, and Fiduciary. Governmental Funds generally account for tax-supported activities and include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and Debt Service Funds. The General Fund is the principal operating fund and accounts for all activities not required to be accounted for in a separate fund. Special Revenue Funds are used as needed to account for specific, restricted revenue sources. Capital Projects Funds are used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of infrastructure and capital assets. Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and payment of, general long-term debt, however, there is no city-obligated debt outstanding.

Proprietary Funds account for activities that are business-like in nature and include Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds. The City’s Sewer Fund is an Enterprise Fund. Users of the sewer system pay fees, through their water bills, to help maintain and improve the sewer system. Internal Service Funds are used to account for activities provided by one department to another on a cost-reimbursement basis.

Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held in a trust or agency capacity and cannot be used to support the City’s own program. As such, budgets are not adopted for fiduciary funds, however, the financial activities are included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Budgets are adopted for all governmental funds and the Sewer Enterprise Fund, as required.

Additional information on the individual funds is found on the following pages.

Strategic Plan Process
Semi-annually the City Council convenes to review the City’s Strategic Plan. This process includes a review of established three year goals, the development of new six month strategic objectives, and a compilation of the City’s strengths and accomplishments during the previous six-months. The six month objectives are action plan items that are undertaken to fulfil the City’s three year goals and are guided by the established core values and guiding principles of the City. These core values include integrity, accountability, transparency, fiscal prudence, teamwork and responsiveness to the community.

The Strategic Plan is the primary tool by which the City Council improves services and preserves Cypress’ high quality of life.

It guides budget development and is the foundation by which the City manages program objectives, implementation and delivery of services to the community.

City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2025-2026
21 Budget Overview
Fund Definitions
City Funds:

General Fund – This fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures that are not accounted for separately. The revenues consist of general taxes, user charges, certain fines, and investment earnings. The expenditures include police services, city public works engineering and maintenance, city planning, building safety, and administrative services.

City Trust and Agency Fund – This fund accounts for deposits related to various development, construction or demolition projects within the city.

Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Fund – This fund was established to account for capital improvement projects funded from the general revenues of the City. The primary funding sources for these projects are annual transfers from the General Fund and Infrastructure Reserve Fund. Types of projects funded include annual residential street resurfacing, sidewalk repair, public facility projects, storm drainage, and the reimbursement of Warland Drive construction.

Infrastructure Reserve Fund – This fund was established to account for accumulated monies that will be used to fund capital improvement projects funded from the general revenues of the City. This fund provides a reserve to accumulate funds for projects that could not be funded within the fiscal constraints of a single year. The primary funding sources for the accumulation of these monies is an annual transfer from the General Fund and interest earnings on cash balances. Annual transfers out are made to fund specific projects budgeted in the City’s CIP fund. The Infrastructure Reserve Fund has loaned a portion of these accumulated monies to the former Redevelopment Agency/Successor Agency and the Recreation and Park District, which causes a portion of the accumulated fund balance to be reserved and thus unavailable to fund infrastructure improvements until the loans are repaid.

Traffic Safety Fund – This fund is established as a result of Vehicle Code section 42200, which provides that fines and forfeitures received as a result of arrest by city officers for vehicle code violations must be deposited in a special fund. The fund may only be expended for traffic control devices and the maintenance thereof, the maintenance of equipment and supplies for traffic law enforcement and traffic accident prevention, the maintenance, improvement, or construction of public streets, bridges, and culverts, and the compensation of school crossing guards who are not full-time members of the police department. The funds may not be used to compensate traffic or police officers. The City annually transfers these funds to cover appropriate expenses in the General Fund. At year end, there is no fund balance.

Pandemic Response and Recovery Fund – This fund was established to account for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the American Rescue Plan Act revenues received from county, state, and federal sources in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Special Gas Tax Funds: The State Gas Tax equals 18 cents per gallon and Cities receive a portion (3.39 cents) based on population under different sections of the Streets and Highway Code. A separate fund is established under each section as follows:

Section 2105 Revenue Fund – Under this fund, the Cities receives 11.5% of the state tax over 9 cents a gallon (1.035 cent). The monies received must be used for street purposes under a maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement. All street maintenance costs are accounted for in the General Fund and an annual transfer is made from this fund to the General Fund when the MOE is achieved.

Section 2106 Revenue Fund – Under this fund, Cities receive $400 per month plus a portion rationed by assessed valuation of tangible property by county and then allocated by population. The amount allocated to the Cities amounts to

1.04 cents a gallon. These funds must be used for street construction, improvements, and right of way. These types of capital improvement expenditures are accounted for in the special fund and funds may be carried over.

Section 2107/2107.5 Revenue Fund – Under this fund, Cities receive an amount equal to 1.315 cents per gallon. The section 2107 amount is allocated to cities based on population and is restricted to street maintenance expenses. The section 2107.5 revenue is allocated to cities based on a population range in amounts from $1,000 to $20,000. Cypress receives $6,000 annually. These funds are restricted to engineering costs and administrative expenses with respect to city streets. The costs are accumulated in the General Fund and an annual transfer is made to cover the approved expenses.

Section 2103 Revenue Fund – Under this fund, which was created in FY 2010-11, Cities receive an allocation from a new motor vehicle fuel excise tax that replaces the previous allocation from the Proposition 42 sales tax on gasoline. This change is known as the “fuel tax swap of 2010” and revenues are allocated to Cities on a per capita basis. These funds may be used for street construction, improvements, and right of way maintenance. 22 City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2025-2026
Budget Overview
Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Fund – This fund accounts for gas taxes apportioned under Senate Bill 1 (SB1) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.

Traffic Mitigation Assessment Fund – This fund was established to account for traffic fees assessed to developers. The funds may only be expended for traffic mitigation purposes as defined in the fee resolutions.

Regional Traffic Fee Fund – This fund accounts for the impact fee charged to development and used to mitigate regional traffic impacts.

Lighting District No. 2 Fund – This special district was established in 1961 to pay for street lights in the City. The ad valorem taxes received are a portion of the 1% Basic Property Tax levy. The expenses are restricted to lighting costs (operating, repairing and replacing) as defined under the Street Lighting Act of 1919. The City, under its charter powers, has expanded the use of these funds to include traffic signal maintenance and park lighting.

Planned Local Drainage Facilities Fund – This fund accounts for fees charged developers for citywide drainage facilities.

These monies are restricted for the drainage facilities and may not be used for ongoing maintenance. The funds are being accumulated for future projects as defined in the fee resolution/ master drainage plan.

Asset Seizure Fund – This fund accounts for monies received under Federal and State laws relevant to drug asset seizure.

The monies received must be accounted for separately, but are otherwise unrestricted on their use as long as the funds do not supplant the budget. Asset Seizure funds are distributed to the agency under a formula listed in Health and Safety Code Section 11489.

Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund – This fund accounts for funds allocated statewide to law enforcement in a block grant format under AB3229. Also known as the State Citizens’ Option for Public Safety (COPS) program, monies are allocated annually by the State based on population, and require a separate fund be established. The funds can only be spent for “front line municipal police services” approved by the City Council.

Measure M Gas Tax Fund – This fund accounts for the City’s share of Measure M monies. Measure M is the half cent sales tax for countywide transportation improvements, approved by Orange County voters in November 1990 and extended in November 2006. Based on population ratio, Cities receive M2 (formerly local turnback) monies which are equivalent to 14.6% of the net sales tax received by the OCTA. Cities must fulfill the maintenance of effort spending and certain administrative requirements, such as a Growth Management Plan, to receive the funds. This money must be used for local street projects as well as ongoing maintenance of local streets and roads. In addition, the City competes for Combined Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP) approved by the OCTA Board of Directors. These CTFP funds are additional revenues beyond the M2 and are restricted for the specific projects approved by the OCTA Board.

AB 2766 Fund – This fund accounts for revenues received under the AB 2766 Subvention which is collected as part of the Motor Vehicle registration. The funds received are restricted to expenditures that relate to reducing vehicle emissions.

Sewer Fund – This fund accounts for the maintenance of and improvements made to the City’s sewer system. Revenues consist of property taxes and fees on the water bills to all residents and businesses. The monies in this fund are restricted to sewer maintenance and construction costs.

Storm Drain Fund – This fund accounts for the maintenance of the City’s storm drainage system. Revenues consist of a designated portion of the City Services Charges on the bimonthly water bills to residents and businesses, as well as annual operating transfers from the General Fund. The monies are designated primarily for storm drainage maintenance and secondarily for construction costs.

Low and Moderate Housing Asset Fund – This fund accounts for housing assets transferred to the City upon the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency on February 1, 2012. Expenditures in this fund are limited to available liquid assets related to low and moderate housing activities.

23 Budget Overview
Recreation and Park District Funds:

Cypress Recreation and Park District General Fund – This fund accounts for all the receipts and expenditures of the Recreation and Park Special District. The revenues of the District include a portion of the 1% Basic Property Tax, user fees and special funding from other government agencies (including grants, subventions, etc.). The expenses are restricted to recreation and park activities, including park maintenance and recreation programs.

Park Development Fund – This fund accounts for the development fees collected under the Quimby Act of 1965. The Act authorizes the City/District to require from a subdivider the dedication of land, the payment of fees in-lieu thereof, or a combination of both, for park or recreational purposes as a condition of a subdivision map. All fees paid in-lieu thereof must be used only for the purpose of providing park or recreational facilities to serve the subdivision. These funds cannot be used for operations.

Cypress Recreation and Park District Trust and Agency Fund – This fund accounts for amounts held for facility deposits and program scholarship donations made by local businesses and non-profit organizations.

Recreation and Community Services Foundation Fund – This fund was established to account for the not-for-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes supporting the Recreation and Community Services District’s facilities, programs and services through the pursuit of grants and other funding.

Internal Service Funds:

The Internal Service Funds (ISF) are used to account for goods and services provided to other departments on a cost reimbursement basis. Since the other departments/funds are charged within their budgets for these services, the internal service funds are not included in the adopted budget as that would duplicate costs. The ISF accounts are informally budgeted to determine the amounts to be charged to the operating departments. The ISF include the following funds:

The Central Services/Print Shop/Information Systems/Equipment Replacement Funds account for print shop activities, the central garage, the maintenance of City facilities and equipment, data processing and website services, and the purchase and replacement of capital outlay. The equipment replacement fund maintains a replacement reserve for capital outlay items to allow for purchase of replacement equipment without large fluctuations in the annual operating budgets. Both the City and Recreation and Park District maintain Central Services/Equipment Replacement Funds.

The Employee Benefits Fund accounts for leave time accumulated by employees, employee benefits and payroll liabilities, and the liabilities associated with other post retirement benefits. The operating funds are charged a fringe rate based on the payroll and those amounts are accumulated in this fund and paid out for items like health insurance, pension, leave time taken and retiree’s medical reimbursements. This allows operating programs to be allocated for all personnel costs based on actual time worked. Both the City and Recreation and Park District maintain Employee Benefit Funds. These funds allow both the City and Park District to remain fully funded for leave time accrued.

The Insurance Internal Service Funds include Public Liability and Workers’ Compensation funds. These funds are self-retention funds to fund claims that the City is self-insured for and pay insurance premiums. The City maintains a fund balance to cover outstanding claims and a actuarially determined reserve for claims incurred but not reported at a 90% confidence level. The operating departments are charged for these costs through the fringe rate (workers’ compensation) and under insurance accounts in the operating budget (liability insurance).

The Technology Investments Fund accounts for monies set-aside for investments to the City’s information systems infrastructure. These improvements include enhancements to cyber security, streamlining processes and providing citizens and businesses with more convenient methods to accessing City services. The City has developed a five-year technology master plan which is primarily funded with monies accumulated in the Technology Investments Fund. 24 City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2025-2026

27 Budget Overview
Fiscal Strategies Overview
Purpose of Fiscal Strategies
Primary among the responsibilities the City of Cypress has to its citizens is the care of public funds and wise management of its assets while providing for the adequate funding of the services desired by the public and the maintenance of public facilities. Financial management strategies, designed to ensure the fiscal stability of the City, have been implemented to provide guidance for the development and administration of the annual operating and capital budgets.

Fiscal Strategies

1. The Budget will be balanced and focus on long-term sustainability

2. Reserves and fund balances will be maintained prudently

3. Available resources and the Strategic Plan will determine service levels

4. Continue to invest in the maintenance of facilities and infrastructure

5. Financial decisions will be transparent to the public These strategies are a foundation for protecting and assessing Cypress’ financial well-being. They do not provide specific solutions to arising financial challenges; rather they represent an approach to navigating important and difficult decisions necessary to address Cypress’ changing cost structure and ever more scarce resources.

The strategies are comprised of policies (formal actions previously taken by the City Council) and practices (actions management and City Council undertake to promote and protect financial resiliency).

Strategy Objectives
> Ensure Cypress provides necessary services to the community and remains financially resilient > Allow time to affect change and adapt to financial challenges > Enhance transparency and encourage community involvement > Create methods to analyze the costs and benefits of services over the long-term > Help the City Council, City Management, the community, and employee associations balance competing demands for scarce resources
Reflecting the city’s limited ability to control revenues, the objectives focus on service levels, efficiencies, expenditures control, and performance measure-based evaluation of programs and services. 28 City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2025-2026
Budget Overview
Fiscal Strategies
1 The four-year average includes projections for Proposed Budget (i.e. FY 2023-24); estimates from the current fiscal year Amended Budget (i.e. FY 2022-23), and the actual revenue in the two prior fiscal years (i.e. FY 2021-22 and FY 2020-21).

1. The Budget will be balanced and focus on long-term sustainability Policies

1.1. The Budget presented to City Council will be balanced (current year revenues fund current year operating expenses) Practices

1.2. Reserves (excluding amounts accumulated for capital projects or capital outlay) will only be used to address extraordinary, short-term circumstances

1.3. The Budget will include a Five-Year Financial Projection

1.4. Ongoing operations will be funded with ongoing revenues

1.5. Expenditure growth will be limited to essential/necessary increases

1.6. Fees will be evaluated annually to identify the full cost of providing services

1.7. Sales tax revenue budgeted to support City operations will be estimated using a baseline calculation to manage risk and volatility. The baseline calculation will incorporate a four-year average1 of sales tax revenues and be reviewed (and adjusted if necessary) annually. Revenues above the baseline will be available for one-time expenditures. When sales tax revenues are projected to decrease, the baseline calculation approach may be supplanted with a more conservative projection methodology.

1.8. New programs/services must be revenue neutral, resulting in no impact to fund balance in the General Fund

1.9. Performance measures will be presented in the Budget and used to evaluate the effectiveness of programs and services

1.10. “Mini-financial statements” will identify the net costs of revenue generating programs and services

1.11. Pension trust investments will be reviewed annually to determine if adjustments to the investments or deposits/ withdrawals are warranted

2. Reserves and fund balances will be maintained prudently Policies

2.1. The City will maintain the following contingency reserves:
■ Reserve for Economic Uncertainty. Equal to 25% of General Fund expenditures, the reserve stabilizes City services should General Fund revenues decrease by greater than 10% or estimated General Fund expenditures increase by more than 10% and when the City Council determines the City’s ability to provide basic service to the community is threatened
■ Reserve for Emergency/Disaster Recovery. Equal to 30% of General Fund expenditures, the reserve pays for capital needs in response to an emergency or natural disaster and provides resources to begin recovery prior to FEMA assistance or insurance proceeds become available

2.2. The City will maintain fully funded replacement accounts for capital including: equipment, vehicles, and technology

2.3. The City will maintain fully funded internal service funds for: workers’ compensation and general liability insurance; employee benefits; and central services (the ongoing maintenance of equipment, vehicles and facilities and print shop and information technology operations)

2.4. The City will conform to the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Fund Balance Policy Statement 54 which defines fund balance categories and creates the authority necessary to establish them Practices

2.5. Maintain a $4.2 million Stabilization Reserve designed to provide a period of adjustment should a major tax generating business relocate or cease operations or at the City Council’s discretion in response to other economic shocks

2.6. Maintain a $2.0 million Budget Stabilization Reserve which can be used in the short-term to assist with budget shortfalls due to forecasted financial challenges
City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2025-2026
29 Budget Overview

2.7. Fiscal year end General Fund savings or unappropriated revenues will be:

1. Used to replenish any reserves used to fund operations during the fiscal year

2. Transferred to internal service funds to address unfunded liabilities, including pension and retiree health liabilities.

Such transferred amounts will be invested in a manner consistent with offsetting or reducing these liabilities and may include pension trust investment and additional discretionary payments to CalPERS.

3. Transferred for future facility and infrastructure projects

2.8. The General Fund will maintain an unassigned fund balance sufficient to account for unforeseen revenue shortfalls or unanticipated expenditures that may arise during the fiscal year

2.9. The City will identify its long-term liabilities and obligations and develop policies to address them including a mitigation plan for unfunded pensions liabilities. Such pension mitigation matters include a commitment to annually contribute funding for investment in the City’s pension trust and additional discretionary payments to CalPERS over and above the minimum required actuarial funding levels established by CalPERS.

■ Is it necessary for public health or safety?
■ Is it mandated by the State or Federal government?
■ Does it accomplish a Strategic Plan goal or objective? ■ Does it result in operating savings (or additional costs) in the future? ■ Is significant outside/restricted funding available?
■ Does it promote economic development?

3.5. Employees and employee associations are important partners and the City will engage them in the Budget process

3.6. The city will complete development of, and annually update, a Succession Plan

3.7. All staffing vacancies will be evaluated through the Succession Plan prior to a decision to fill the position

4. Continue to invest in the maintenance of facilities and infrastructure Policies

Storm drain improvements and operations $500,000
Facility improvements $250,000
Additionally, $1,050,000 will be transferred from the General Fund for either current year or future expenditures depending on availability of restricted revenues for transportation purposes and the ability to meet associated Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements.

Practices

4.3. Facilities and infrastructure will be maintained to extend their useful life

4.4. The infrastructure reserve will maintain a balance sufficient to construct at least 115% of the projects included in the Seven-Year CIP funded by the General Fund

Property Tax
Property Taxes include assessments on both secured and unsecured property. Secured Property Taxes attach and become an enforceable lien on the assessed property. Taxes on the secured rolls are payable in two installments: November 1 and March 1 of each year, and become delinquent on December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured Property Taxes are assessed and payable each March 1 and become delinquent the following August 31. The Orange County Tax Collector bills and collects the Property Taxes, then apportions them to the City in accordance with an established schedule.

The County is permitted by the State under Proposition 13, which became effective July 1, 1978, to levy taxes at 1% of the full market value at the time of purchase or reassessment, and can increase the Property Tax assessed valuation no more than 2% annually. The City receives a share (approximately 7.83%) of the basic levy (1%) proportionate to what it received prior to the passage of Proposition 13, adjusted by the State shift to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund and the county administration fee.

Major Revenue Sources
Sales Tax
One of the City’s largest revenue sources is Sales Tax. Sales Tax is collected by the State and distributed to the local jurisdictions in monthly installments based on the prior year’s actual collections. At the end of each quarter a “clean-up” payment is made to adjust the current period distributions to actual.

The Sales Tax rate for the County of Orange is 7.75%. The City of Cypress receives 1% (between Sales Tax Revenues and the State Backfill amount) of the 7.75% tax generated within the City limits. Additionally, with the passage of Proposition 172 the City receives 5% of the ½ cent of Sales Tax. These funds are restricted and can only be used for public safety purposes and are included in the Other Taxes revenue category. The City also receives Measure M2 revenue, a countywide half-cent sales tax to be used for transportation infrastructure improvements. These funds are categorized as Revenue from Other Agencies. 36 City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2025-2026

Interest and Rents
This category represents investment earnings received from the investment of the City’s funds and any rents received for the use of City property. All investments are made in accordance with the City’s adopted investment policy and all applicable State Government codes. Also included is the year-end adjustment to show investments at their market value as of June 30.

These gains or losses are never realized, but may cause fluctuations in the amount recognized as revenue.

Licenses and Permits
The majority of license and permit revenue is generated from fees charged to contractors for building, plumbing, heating and electrical permits to endure compliance with the City’s building and safety codes.

Other Taxes
This revenue source is comprised of Franchise Fees, Business License Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, Real Property Transfer Tax, Parimutual Taxes and the Property Tax Backfill for both Motor Vehicle License Fees and Sales Tax. The Franchise Fees are taxes paid to the City of Cypress by companies who have negotiated the right to provide a service exclusively within the City of Cypress. Such companies include Golden State Water Company, Southern California Gas Company, Southern California Edison, Valley Vista Services and Charter Communications. Business License Tax is generated from the regulation of businesses and professions within the Cypress City limits. Transient Occupancy Tax is collected by hotels and motels from guests on behalf of the City. The City’s Transient Occupancy Tax rate is 10%. Real Property Transfer Tax revenue is collected by the Orange County Clerk-Recorder for recording the conveyance of property deeds at the time of sale. Parimutual and Satellite Wagering Taxes are derived from the Los Alamitos race track wagering. The City receives 0.33 percent of each dollar wagered.

Other Revenue
This category represents all other miscellaneous and non-recurring revenue and fees.

Revenue from Other Agencies
This category includes such significant revenue sources as State Gas Tax, County Measure M2 monies, Motor Vehicle License fees and other competitively funded grant monies received from various agencies. Grant revenues tend to fluctuate from year to year depending upon both the availability of funding and the number of projects eligible for such funding. Additionally, the City receives public safety monies from the State for funding supplemental law activities and training reimbursement (POST).

In fiscal year 2021-22, the City received $11.7 million in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act. This one-time funding was used to replace revenues lost during the Coronavirus pandemic. 38 City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2025-2026

Cypress Recreation and Park District
The Cypress Recreation and Park District was incorporated in 1949. Currently responsible for approximately 100 acres of open space and recreational facilities, the District provides special interest classes, activities, youth and adult sports, social and recreational activities for seniors, volunteer opportunities, and community-wide special events.

The District is authorized for 13 full-time and approximately 60 seasonal part time staff.

The benefits of parks and recreation are many. Through participation, the community may learn new skills, become involved in physical activities, explore new ideas and concepts, interact socially, develop leadership skills, enhance creativity and better understand their neighbors and other community members. Recreation helps define community and adds to its quality of life.

Volunteerism is very important to the District as many programs and special activities could not be provided without community volunteers. In a normal year, more than 1,200 hours are donated each month to various recreation and social programs.

to exposure to the elements. Bi-annual
maintenance of the wood structures is
approximately $3,000. The fabric shade
sails with steel posts are more durable

fabric shades requiring replacement
every 10-15 years. Cost to replace the
shade sails is approximately $5,000.

☑ Preventative / Proactive ☐ Replacement/Refurbishment ☐ New Facility N/A Description Justification
This project will evaluate all irrigation
systems at parks throughout the city
and recommend future improvements.

A majority of the City’s irrigation systems
use aging controllers and technology
that will no longer be supported and
eventually become obsolete. Upgrading
and replacing the existing system will
ensure ongoing support in the future
and improved control/flexibility in
creating more water-efficient irrigation
schedules, resulting in up to 25%
reduction in water use.

Glossary of Budget Terms
ADOPTED BUDGET: The official budget as approved by the City Council at the start of each fiscal year.

AMENDED BUDGET: The official budget as adopted and as amended by the City Council through the course of a fiscal year.

APPROPRIATION: A legal authorization by a legislative body to make expenditures and to incur obligations for specific purposes. An appropriation is usually limited in amount and to the time when it may be expended.

BUDGET: A plan of financial operation comprised of estimated expenditures for a given period (a single fiscal year for the City) and the proposed means of financing the expenditures (through revenues).

BUDGET MESSAGE: A written discussion of the proposed budget presented by the City Manager to the City Council.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND: In governmental accounting, a fund that accounts for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of capital facilities. The total cost of a capital project is accumulated in a single expenditure program which accumulates until the project is completed, at which time the program ceases to exist and the asset is capitalized for financial accounting purposes.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: A plan for capital improvements to be implemented each year over a fixed period of years to meet capital needs arising from the assessment of long-term needs. It sets forth each project in which the government is to have a part and specifies the full resources estimated to be available to finance the projected expenditures.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: The budget unit to group all activities and costs necessary to implement a specific capital improvement and/or acquisition. A project can include the construction, acquisition, expansion, replacement, or rehabilitation of a physical facility or infrastructure improvement. Projects often include planning and design, land acquisition, and project management costs related to such facilities and improvements.

CAPITAL OUTLAY: Expenditures which result in the acquisition of or additions to fixed assets. Examples include machinery, equipment and vehicles.

CDBG (COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT): Federal grant funds distributed from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that are passed through to the City from the County of Orange. The City primarily uses these funds for housing rehabilitation and eligible capital improvements.

CONTRACTED SERVICES: Services rendered in support of City operations and activities by external parties. These may be based upon either formal contracts or ad hoc charges.

DEBT SERVICE FUND: A fund established for the payment of interest and principal on all debt other than payable exclusively from special assessments.

DEPARTMENT: A major organizational group of the City with overall management responsibility for an operation or a group of related operations within a functional area.

DIVISION: An organizational subgroup of a department.

EXPENDITURES: Decreases in net financial resources. Expenditures include current operating expenses which require the current or future use of net current assets, debt service and capital outlays (projects and assets).

EXPENSES: Decreases in net total assets. Expenses represent the total cost of operations during a period regardless of the timing of related expenditures.

FISCAL YEAR: A 12-month period to which the annual operating budget applies and at the end of which a government determines its financial position, the results of the operations, and adopts a budget for the coming year. The City of Cypress’ fiscal year is from July 1 to June 30.

FIXED ASSETS: Equipment costing $1,000 or more, including tax, that has a life of over one year and does not qualify as a capital improvement project.

FRINGE BENEFITS: These include retirement/pension, health, life and disability insurance, worker’s compensation, vacation, administrative, medical, and other leave of absence time.

FUND: A fund is defined as an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, recording resources, related liabilities, obligations, reserves and equities segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities of attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations.

FUND BALANCE: A term used to express the equity (assets minus liabilities) of governmental fund types. However, for budgeting purposes, a working capital definition of current assets minus current liabilities is used for the computation.

Glossary
GENERAL FUND: The general fund is the general operating fund of the City. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. Expenditures of this fund include the general operating expenses and other costs which are not paid through other restricted funds.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUND CHARGES: Charges paid to other City funds for services rendered and/or materials supplied.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUND: The Internal Service Fund is used to finance and account for activities involved in rendering services to departments within the City. Costs of materials and services used are accumulated in these funds and charged to the user departments as such goods are delivered or services rendered.

LICENSES AND PERMITS: Revenue earned by the issuance of licenses or permits levied in accordance with the benefits conferred by the license or permit.

MEASURE M2: An initiative that continues the one-half percent sales tax through 2041 for transportation improvements throughout Orange County. Originally approved as Measure M in 1990, voters approved the extension in 2006.

OBJECTIVE: A simply stated, readily measurable statement of aim or expected accomplishment within the fiscal year. A good statement of objective should imply a specific standard of performance for a given program.

OBJECT CODE: The classification of expenditures in terms of what is bought and paid for grouped into major object codes by subject.

OPERATING TRANSFERS: Legally authorized transfers from a fund receiving revenue to the fund through which the resources are to be expended, such as transfers from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund.

PRELIMINARY BUDGET: A budget in its preliminary preparation stage prior to review and formal adoption by the City Council.

In the preliminary stage, a budget attempts to forecast current costs into the future and establishes new or modified spending proposals for the future.

PROGRAM BUDGET: A budget organized by programs. A program used in this application is a grouping of related activities, projects and services which are similar in purpose. The expenditure focus of a program budget is related to the nature of work and services performed.

PROPOSED BUDGET: The budget as formulated and proposed by the City Manager. It is submitted to the City Council for review and approval.

RDA: Refers to the former Cypress Redevelopment Agency. All redevelopment agencies in California were dissolved on February 1, 2012 as a result of changes in state law.

REDEVELOPMENT: The planning, development, re-planning, redesign, clearance, reconstruction or rehabilitation, or any combination of these, of all or part of a survey area, and the provision of such residential, commercial, industrial, public, or other structures or spaces as may be appropriate or necessary in the interest of the general welfare, including recreational and other facilities incidental or appurtenant to them.

RESOLUTION: A special or temporary order of a legislative body requiring less formality than an ordinance.

RESOURCES: Total dollars available for appropriations including estimated revenues, fund transfers and beginning fund balances.

REVENUE: Money that the City receives as income such as tax payments, fees from specific services, receipts from other governments, fines, forfeitures, grants, shared revenues, and interest income.

SALARIES AND BENEFITS: Compensation paid to or on behalf of City employees for salaries and wages, including overtime.

Benefits include retirement/pension, health, life and disability insurance, worker’s compensation and vacation, administrative, medical and other leave of absence time.

SELF-INSURANCE: A term often used to describe the retention of liabilities, arising out of the ownership of property or from some other cause, instead of transferring that risk to an independent third party through the purchase of an insurance policy. The City currently provides self-insurance for a portion of its workers’ compensation and general public liability coverage. The City has purchased outside insurance for excess coverage in these areas.

SERVICES AND SUPPLIES: Payments made to vendors for goods/services used for City operations.

SUCCESSOR AGENCY: This entity was created upon the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency on February 1, 2012 to account for former agency activities.

TAXES: Compulsory charges levied by a government for the purpose of financing services performed for the common benefit.

This term does not include specific charges made against particular persons or property for current or permanent benefits such as special assessments. Neither does the term include charges for services rendered only to those paying such charges as, for example, user charges.

WHEREAS, on April 28, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and considered testimony on the Ordinance.

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

SECTION 1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the above Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein as findings of the City Council.

SECTION 2. Findings. Pursuant to Section 4.20.080 of Appendix I (Zoning) of the Cypress Municipal Code, the City Council finds, after due study and deliberation that the following circumstances exist:

1. The proposed Project is in conformance with the goals, policies, and objectives of the general plan.

The Project is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use Element Goals: LU10, to “carefully regulate future development in the Business Park to ensure the current high quality environment is maintained”; LU-14, to “attract high quality businesses to Commercial and Business Park areas”; LU-15, to “retain and facilitate the expansion of businesses throughout the City”; and, LU-16, to “continue to diversify the Cypress Business Park to maintain its competitiveness”; and the Project furthers these goals by providing a comprehensive and modernized plan for 439 acres of the Cypress Business Park that addresses current and projected economic conditions and land uses, streamlines approval processes, and provides updated development and performance standards that serves to attract new businesses and maintain the high-quality environment of the Business Park.

2. The design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access and public services and utilities (e.g., fire protection, police protection, water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.), would ensure that the proposed Project would not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public health, safety, or general welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and base zoning districts for the 439 acres of the Cypress Business Park.

The Cypress Business Park Specific Plan includes development standards, infrastructure improvements, and operational guidelines that ensure compatibility with surrounding uses and promote safe, functional site design. The proposed design, location, size, and layout of future development within the Project area will provide for adequate access by public and emergency vehicles, including police, fire, and paramedic services. The plan is also supported by existing and planned infrastructure, including water, wastewater, storm drainage, and solid waste services. As such, implementation of the Project will not create hazards or adverse impacts to public health, safety, or welfare, nor will it be detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements within the vicinity and base zoning districts.

3. The proposed Project would:
a. Ensure quality development by encouraging greater creativity and aesthetically pleasing designs for the individual components of the development and the development as a whole;
b. Ensure the timely provision of essential public services and facilities consistent withthe demand for the services and facilities; and
c. Promote a harmonious variety of housing choices and commercial and industrial activities, if applicable; attain a desirable balance of residential and/or employment opportunities; and result in a high level of amenities and the preservation of the natural and scenic qualities of open space.

The Cypress Business Park Specific Plan establishes a comprehensive framework of development standards and design guidelines that promote high-quality architecture, cohesive site planning, and visually appealing buildings and landscaping throughout the plan area. By encouraging flexibility in site design, the Cypress Business Park Specific Plan allows for innovative and creative development while maintaining consistency with the City’s vision for the area. Infrastructure improvements outlined in the plan ensure that essential public services and facilities—such as water, wastewater, storm drainage, police and fire protection—will be provided in a timely manner that corresponds with future development. The Cypress Business Park Specific Plan supports a mix of employmentgenerating uses and light industrial activities that promote job creation and economic vitality, while also incorporating amenities such as pedestrian pathways, open spaces, and enhanced landscaping that contribute to a high-quality environment. Collectively, the Cypress Business Park Specific Plan supports a desirable balance of employment opportunities, preserves visual and environmental quality, and enhances the overall character of the business park.

4. The Project area is:
a. Physically suitable for the proposed land use designation(s); b. Physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of development being proposed; c. Adequate in shape and size to accommodate the proposed development; and d. Served by streets adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and type of traffic expected to be generated by the proposed development.

The area encompassed by the Cypress Business Park Specific Plan is already developed with and currently serves as the City’s primary business park district. The Specific Plan maintains this established land use pattern by preserving and enhancing business park land uses, including light industrial, manufacturing, research and development, and supportive commercial uses. Therefore, the Project area is physically suitable for these land use designations and for the type, density, and intensity of development proposed in the Cypress Business Park Specific Plan.

The Cypress Business Park Specific Plan area features flat topography, is adequately served by existing infrastructure, and consists of parcels of sufficient size and shape to accommodate continued and future business park development. Additionally, the Project area is well connected to major transportation corridors, including Katella Avenue, Valley View Street, and Holder Street, which are of adequate width and construction to support the type and volume of traffic generated by current and future uses. Planned transportation and infrastructure improvements will further ensure long-term operational efficiency and safety. Therefore, the Project area is physically and infrastructurally suitable for the proposed Project and continued use as a business park.

SECTION 3. CEQA. The City Council confirms that it has reviewed and considered the Final IS/ND for the Project. The IS/ND have been prepared, noticed, and are hereby adopted according to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.

SECTION 4. Repeal. The City Council hereby repeals the Lusk-Cypress Industrial Park Specific Plan, Cypress Corporate Center Master Plan, Cypress Corporate Center Amended Specific Plan, McDonnell Center Amended Specific Plan, Cypress View Limited Specific Plan, Amended and Restated Cypress Business and Professional Center Specific Plan, and Cypress Business and Professional Center Specific Plan Amendment 19-1.

SECTION 5. Adoption. The City Council hereby adopts the Cypress Business Park Specific Plan to replace the repealed specific plans, and the Cypress Business Park Specific Plan is included in its entirety in Exhibit “A”.

SECTION 6. Evaluation. Five years from the adoption date of the Cypress Business Park Specific Plan, the City Council directs an evaluation the effectiveness of the Specific Plan. This review may include an advisory committee.

SECTION 7. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is, for any reason, held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect any other provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, part or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, parts or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 8. Effective date. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days from its adoption.

SECTION 9. Certification. The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published and posted pursuant to the provisions of law in that regard.
