CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 1.

FROM: Shannon DeLong, City Manager
DATE: 06/09/2026
SUBJECT: Authorize Response Extensions to Two Civil Grand Jury Reports

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to Request Response Extensions to Two Civil Grand Jury Reports.

SUMMARY
The civil responsibilities of the grand jury include the examination of all aspects of county government, including special districts, to ensure the county is being governed honestly and efficiently and county monies are being handled appropriately. Investigations may be conducted on public agencies, the administration and affairs of any city within the county, or to examine books and records of redevelopment agencies.

On the last day of the year of service, the grand jury is required by law to submit all final reports to the presiding judge of the Superior Court. These reports, with appropriate recommendations, include all studies and investigations conducted by the jury during its term. Each county entity investigated receives a copy of its individual report with a stipulation that response to findings/recommendations be made by the responsible governing body within 90 days.

DISCUSSION
The City has received two Orange County Grand Jury Reports that require a response from the City. The first Grand Jury report, "Wildfires Hit Home", was publicly released on May 19, 2026, and the second Grand Jury report, "California Housing Mandates, The Unintended Reshaping of Orange County Neighborhoods", was publicly released on May 27, 2026.

Both of these reports require a response from the City by August 18, 2026, and August 27, 2026, respectively.

Should additional time for responding to these reports be necessary for further analysis, California Penal Code section 933.05(b)(3) permits an extension of time up to six months California Penal Code section 933.05(b)(3) permits an extension of time up to six months from the public release date of the reports. Given the detailed analysis required for City staff to prepare comprehensive responses to the Grand Jury reports, the summer recess in the City Council meeting schedule, and the recent appointment of a new City Manager, a six-month extension is requested to allow sufficient time to develop and review these responses.

The extension request must be submitted in writing to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court, with a copy provided to the Grand Jury. If the City Council approves this recommendation, the City Manager will submit the attached extension request to the appropriate parties. Should the extensions be granted, the revised response deadlines would be November 19, 2026, and November 27, 2026, respectively.

Extension Letter
June 10, 2026
SENT VIA E-MAIL [email protected] & COURIER
The Honorable Sheila F. Hanson,
Presiding Judge
Orange County Superior Court
700 Civic Center Drive West
Santa Ana, CA 92701
Subject: Request for Extension of Time to Respond to Civil Grand Jury Reports: “Wildfires Hit Home” and “California Housing Mandates, the Unintended Reshaping of Orange County Neighborhoods” Honorable Presiding Judge Hanson:

I am writing in my capacity as the City Manager of the City of Cypress following authorization by the Cypress City Council during its public session of the Council held on June 9, 2026. On behalf of the City Council, I respectfully request a brief extension of time to submit the City’s formal responses to the recently issued Orange County Civil Grand Jury reports: “Wildfires Hit Home" (released May 19, 2026) and “California Housing Mandates, The Unintended Reshaping of Orange County Neighborhoods" (released May 27, 2026). Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 128 (a)(3) you have the authority to “provide for the orderly conduct of proceedings before [you]”.

Penal Code § 933(c) requires the City Council to submit its comments on the findings and recommendations of these reports within 90 days of their public submission, establishing current deadlines of August 18, 2026, and August 27, 2026. The City takes its oversight responsibilities seriously and fully intends to provide comprehensive, compliant responses that conform to the formatting mandates of Penal Code § 933.05.

The City respectfully submits that "good cause" exists for a modest timeline adjustment due to an extraordinary convergence of administrative constraints:

1. Procedural Impact of Cancelled Council Meetings: Due to our standard summer recess, the City Council will not hold a meeting from July 15, 2026, through August 25, 2026. Because California law requires the governing body of a public agency to agendize this matter and publicly discuss and vote on its official response to a Grand Jury report in an open session, the absence of meeting dates during this period has severely compressed the operational timeline required to finalize these items under the Ralph M. Brown Act.

2. Voluminous Scope of Concurrent Reports: The City is concurrently tasked with analyzing and addressing two separate, highly detailed Civil Grand Jury reports. The volume of historical data, policy analysis, and operational findings required to thoroughly address the unique sub-parts of each report requires substantial technical coordination across multiple city departments and with other agencies (e.g. Orange County Fire Authority).

3. Administrative Transition: The City Administration is undergoing a leadership transition, including my own recent appointment as City Manager. Managing these multi-layered, specialized responses amidst onboarding has placed temporary, severe constraints on executive administrative staff.

To ensure that the City Council can execute its public vetting process transparently and provide the highquality, granular analysis required by Penal Code § 933.05, the City respectfully requests a uniform extension of six months from the date of publication for both reports to November 19, 2026, and November 27, 2026.

We anticipate being able to send both responses earlier than these dates but are making the request as a precaution.

If you or your staff require any further information, please contact my office directly at 714-229-6680 or via email at [email protected]

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 2.

FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 06/09/2026
SUBJECT: Receive and File the FY 2026-27 Master Fee Schedule

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the FY 2026-27 Master Fee Schedule which incorporates the annual adjustment based on the March Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area for the City and Park District user fees.

DISCUSSION
In 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6748 which updated user fees in accordance with Government Code Sections 66016, 66018, and 66020. The updated fees were the result of a comprehensive fee study conducted by a consultant. In general, City user fees are established to recover the full cost of discretionary services provided to a user while Recreation and Park District fees are intended to provide sustainable subsidies to customers.

To ensure fees keep pace with the costs to provide services, Resolution No. 6748 includes an automatic cost-of-living adjustment to be applied annually to all user fees effective July 1st. The annual cost-of-living adjustment is based on the March Consumer Price Index (CPI) and is applied to fees in conjunction with the new fiscal year. The FY 2026-27 Master Fee Schedule includes a 3.4% cost-of-living adjustment for all user fees established by the City and District.

The new fee schedule is effective July 1, 2026. However, because some programs must be advertised or billed well in advance of the new fees being established, some fee increases will be deferred until it is administratively feasible to implement the changes. For example, most changes to Recreation program fees will be deferred until the publication of the Fall Activity Guide.

Fines, developer fees, and fees set by the State of California remain unchanged, as these fees are not subject to the annual cost-of-living adjustment applied to user fees.

BUDGET IMPACT
These increases have been factored into the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget.

LEGAL REVIEW
None required.

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 3.

FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 06/09/2026
SUBJECT: Adopt the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Appropriations Limit for the City of Cypress and Cypress Recreation and Park District

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the following resolutions:

1. A Resolution establishing the City's Fiscal Year 2026-27 appropriations limit.

A Resolution establishing the Cypress Recreation and Park District's Fiscal Year 2026-27 appropriations limit.

2. DISCUSSION
In 1979, Proposition 4, known as the Gann Initiative, added Article XIIIB to the State Constitution. The Gann Initiative, combined with modifications made in 1990 by Proposition 111, limits the annual growth of tax-funded government spending to changes in population and inflation. The City's and Cypress Recreation and Park District's appropriations limit, also known as the "Gann limit", is required to be adopted annually by the City Council.

The appropriations limit applies only to revenues derived from certain taxes, such as property taxes, sales taxes, etc., and is based on actual FY 1986-87 appropriations adjusted each year for inflation and population growth. The inflation factor is either the percentage change in California’s Per Capita Income or the growth in the City’s assessed value due to the addition of non-residential new construction. The population factor is the growth in either the City’s or the County’s population, whichever is greater.

The documentation used in the determination of the appropriations limit was made available to the public via the City's website fifteen days prior to the meeting in accordance with Government Code 7910.

BUDGET IMPACT
The FY 2026-27 appropriations limit was calculated in accordance with these guidelines utilizing the factors provided by the State Department of Finance. For the inflation factor, the growth in per capita personal income was greater than the growth in assessed valuation from non-residential new construction (4.95%, compared to 3.45%). Therefore, the growth in personal income was used. This year, the County's population declined less compared to the decline in the City's population (-0.37% compared to -0.66% for the City). Therefore, the County's factor was used in the calculation.

The City's limit is calculated as shown below.

City Council Regular 4.

FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 06/09/2026
SUBJECT: Budget Amendment for Building and Safety Permitting and Plan Check

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a budget amendment to increase General Fund (Fund 111) revenue by $373,500 and expenditures by $242,100, for a positive net change of $131,400.

DISCUSSION
Building & Safety Permitting and Plan Check expenditures are trending on pace to exceed budget.

These expenditures are dependent on revenue and are therefore historically difficult to estimate.

Additionally, these activities tend to be largely out of the City's control and can vary significantly from one fiscal year to the next.

BUDGET IMPACT
The end of year (EOY) estimate for building and plan check revenue is $1,640,000 and $984,000 for expenditures — a positive net impact of $656,000 on the General Fund.

Type Program Current

SUBJECT: Receive a Report on the Status of Vacant Positions and Recruitment and Retention Efforts

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a Public Hearing and Receive and File the Annual Report on Employee Vacancies and Recruitment and Retention Efforts.

DISCUSSION
Assembly Bill 2561 requires public agencies to annually report on vacancies for all bargaining units, and recruitment status and efforts associated with any vacancies, prior to adopting the annual budget. If the vacancy rate within a single bargaining unit is 20 percent or higher, the agency is required to report additional information (including the number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit, the number of days to complete the hiring process, and opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions).

Currently, all the City's bargaining units: Cypress Employees' Association (CEA), the Maintenance Employees' Association (MEA), the Police Officers' Association (POA) and the Police Management Association (PMA) have vacancy rates under 20 percent, with 102 of the 105 full-time budgeted positions filled. Vacancy rates as of June 3, 2026 are:

Bargaining
Unit
Positions
Budgeted
Positions
Filled
Positions
Vacant  Vacancy %
CEA 37 36 1 2.7%
MEA 12 11 1 8.3%
POA 52 51 1 1.9%
PMA 4 4 0 0%
Total 105 102 3 2.9%
The City places a high priority on filling vacant positions to ensure continuity of services to the public, maintain operational efficiency, and minimize disruptions to departments. Timely recruitment and hiring are especially important to maintain the City workforce given our relatively small staff complement. This is especially true in today's very competitive job market, with challenging expectations from potential employees for flexible work schedules/locations that public service often cannot accommodate, the high cost of living in southern California, a lack of interest in public service among younger employees, and nationwide shortages of employees with specialized training like police officers, engineers, and accountants.

To address these challenges, the City Council has committed resources to adjust employee compensation and Human Resources is continuously and vigorously recruiting and onboarding new employees. Further, job announcements are posted on the City's website and social media accounts, and advertised on industry-specific state and national association websites, local job boards, and colleges/universities. The City also regularly partners with recruiting firms for top executive and other hard-to-fill positions.

At its special meeting on May 13, 2026, the City Council, also acting as the ex officio governing board of directors of the Cypress Recreation and Park District, received and filed the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget and Capital Improvement Program, provided direction regarding the Decision Package, and scheduled the budget for consideration at the June 9, 2026, City Council meeting.

The initial proposed budget included a decision package for City Council consideration and direction. Below are the items that have been added based on City Council direction:

Personnel Changes:

A Lieutenant position was added and partially offset by removing a vacant Police Service Officer position in Police. A net cost of $234k.

Two Maintenance Workers and a Senior Civil Engineer were added under Public Works.

The Director of Planning and Business Development Manager positions were reclassified to the Director of Community Development and Community Development Manager. No change in cost.

A Senior Management Analyst position was reclassified as an Assistant to the City Manager ($10k).

An over hire of an Office Assistant I/II at Community Center ($97k) and a Recreation Coordinator ($108k) position were added under the District.

Programmatic Additions:

Implementation of an electronic time card solution ($60k).

Funding to hire a consultant to update the City’s purchasing policies ($55k).

Funding to conduct a User Fee Study and Full Cost Allocation Plan ($65k).

Implementation of a patrol-led Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), a.k.a. drone, program. A total of $100.2k is offset by a $70k donation for a net cost of $30.2k.

Funding to update the Chamber’s Broadcast ($46.2k) and Web Conferencing ($25k).

Implementation of cloud backup services ($14k).

Implementation of an electronic signatures management solution ($12k).

A new Print Shop copier ($25k).

In addition to these items, minor accounting, grammatical, and formatting errors were corrected throughout the document, including the reimbursement of park maintenance expenses for Arnold Cypress Park (District expense and General Fund revenue) and part-time expenditures under Public Works.

The attached resolutions adopt the annual budgets of the City of Cypress and the Cypress Recreation and Park District for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027.

Following adoption, the City Manager may transfer among programs within a department, office, or agency and the Council may, by resolution, transfer from one department, office, or agency to another. The resolution also authorizes and approves the number and classification of full-time employees. The City Manager is authorized to transfer positions within existing position classifications and reorganize departments under the City Manager's authority, provided that no increase is made in the number of authorized full-time positions without City Council approval.

However, the City Manager is authorized to overfill a projected sworn vacancy within the Police Department.

Notice of the public hearing for the Distrct was published in accordance with Government Code Section 61110.

June 9, 2026
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
As the City embarks on its 70th anniversary of incorporation, I am pleased to present the City of Cypress’ final Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Proposed Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As your new City Manager, it is an honor to partner with the City Council in continuing Cypress’ long‑standing tradition of thoughtful, conservative, and award‑winning financial stewardship. This year’s budget reflects our shared commitment to maintaining exceptional service to the community while planning responsibly for the future.

Cypress continues to benefit from a strong long‑term financial position, built through years of careful planning and disciplined decision‑making by the City Council. The FY 2026–27 Budget maintains a stable approach that allows the City to continue delivering high‑quality services while positioning us well to respond to evolving economic trends. The Five‑Year Forecast provides valuable insight that will help guide future policy discussions and support the Council’s strategic priorities.

In recent years, the City has projected modest operating deficits that ultimately did not materialize, thanks to healthy revenues and responsible spending practices. This pattern highlights the value of the City’s conservative forecasting and the effectiveness of the Council’s fiscal leadership. Cypress remains among the few established cities in Southern California that has neither increased the local sales tax rate nor implemented a utility user tax—an accomplishment made possible by the City Council’s consistent commitment to sound financial management.

Citywide Overview
The total projected operating and capital improvement expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year are over $69 million. Revenue for all fund types combined is over $66 million and includes Property Tax, Sales Tax, Charges for Services, Licenses & Permits, Fines & Forfeitures, and Revenue from Other Agencies.

In addition, the Capital Improvement Plan budget, totaling over $11.5 million for the next fiscal year, is included in the number above and is primarily funded by Special Revenue Funds and grants obtained from various funding sources.

Overall, total revenues for the upcoming year are projected to decrease. This is mainly due to a spike in interest income (Use of Money and Property) over the past few years that is projected to flatten as the City invests its cash in capital assets.

Personnel costs (over $27 million) are expected to decrease over the 2025-26 estimate but increase over the prior year actual. Changes include the following:
> Vacancies savings were not included in the 2025-26 estimate. > Retiree healthcare contributions and cash outs for sick and vacation accruals have been reallocated from fringe benefits (Personnel Costs) to a transfer to the employee benefits fund since these expenses cannot be charged back to special revenue funds.
> FY 2026-27 Personnel Costs include cost-of-living adjustments for all employees and required annual CalPERS contributions for unfunded pension liabilities. > Salaries and benefits have been reallocated to be consolidated in some departments/divisions including City Clerk, Finance and Administrative Services, and Community Development. > Addition of a new Lieutenant position and removal of a Police Services Officer. > Reclassifying a Sr. Management Analyst position to Assistant to the City Manager. > Addition of two Maintenance Workers and a Senior Civil Engineer that are partially paid out of the General Fund.

Supplies & Services and Interfund Charges are proposed to remain flat with only a 3% change.

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. The net change in the District’s fund balance for the Proposed Budget is a deficit of $1.2 million. However, excluding the District’s debt service ($2 million) and capital projects ($1.6 million), there is a surplus of $2.4 million.

The FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget includes a new fund to account for the District’s debt service which includes outstanding loans with the City for Lexington Park and Arnold Cypress Park. Future repayments for Lexington Park are determined by the availability of park development revenues. Repayments for Arnold Cypress Park are $2 million per year, inclusive of interest.

District Revenues
FY 2026-27 District General Fund revenues are projected to decrease by $190k or 2% from the 2025-26 estimate. This decrease is mainly due to one-time grants received in the current year (Revenue From Other Agencies).

In addition to these items, minor accounting, grammatical, and formatting errors were corrected throughout the document, including the reimbursement of park maintenance expenses for Arnold Cypress Park (District expense and General Fund revenue) and part-time expenditures under Public Works.

Budget Assumptions, Priorities and Issues
Key assumptions used to develop the Budget include:
> Reflects established City Council priorities and Fiscal Strategies > Current service levels are maintained
> City Council established reserves are maintained
> Negotiated and anticipated employee salary and benefit increases are incorporated > No new taxes
Priorities included in the Proposed Budget from the City’s Strategic Plan include the following:
> Fleet Sustainability/Electrification Pilot Program
> Playground design services for Veterans and Maple Grove North Parks > Development of an Active Transportation Plan
> Funding to address illegal dumping sites citywide
> Expansion of Baroldi Sycamore Park
Policy issues, economic factors, regulatory, and legislative challenges impacting the City:
> The City of Cypress is required to plan for 3,936 new housing units during the 6th Cycle Housing Element planning period (October 2021 – October 2029) to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) set by the state. One project that is underway that will work towards this endeavor is the redevelopment of the Los Alamitos Race Course which includes the proposed buildout of approximately 134 acres within the voter-approved Cypress Town Center and Commons Specific Plan 3.0 area. The Final Environmental Impact Report, tentative tract map, and a proposed Development Agreement will go before City Council at a public hearing in the upcoming fiscal year. > Current economic uncertainties have led to high inflation and reduced federal support. While the City has maintained healthy reserves, the general outlook is cautious, making the City’s long-range financial plan a valuable resource.

> There are several state mandates that must be implemented over the course of the next fiscal year including:
ɪ SB 707 which requires cities to provide two-way video or phone participation for the public during public meetings. The Decision Package includes funding to upgrade the City’s system to fulfill this mandate.
ɪ AB 1637 which mandates that cities transition their websites to a .gov or .ca.gov domain by January 1, 2029. The City has already secured its domains and will implement the transition before the deadline.
ɪ SB 827 which expands ethics training requirements to include department heads, administrative officers, and other specified personnel and mandates training on financial management for elected officials, legislative body members, and staff involved in financial decisions. New training must be completed by January 1, 2028.
ɪ In order to be consistent with State law, the City must prepare amendments to the Safety and Conservation Elements of the General Plan. A community outreach survey was undertaken in this fiscal year to support the update of these General Plan Elements.

Conclusion
The City Council’s long‑standing commitment to strategic, thoughtful investment has positioned Cypress well for the future. As we work together, our disciplined approach to operations and our focus on core services will not only sustain our stability, but also create room for innovation, improved service delivery, and new ways of supporting our residents, neighborhoods, and businesses.

I am sincerely appreciative of our department Directors and their teams, whose collaboration has made this budget possible. I look forward to working closely with the City Council as we continue advancing Cypress’ tradition of strong governance, financial stability, and exceptional community service. Thank you for your leadership, vision, and partnership as we embark on the year ahead. 22 City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2026-2027

Five-Year General Fund Forecast
The purpose of this forecast is to provide long-term context for annual decisions that will be made with the Fiscal Year Ending (FYE) 2027 Budget and FYE 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan. This forecast was developed to create a forward-looking, conservative baseline budgetary outlook for the City’s General Fund under a given set of revenue and expenditure growth assumptions.

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 revenue and expenditure growth assumptions have been updated based on historical trends, actuarial reports, and Consumer Price Index (CPI) trends. The base year for this forecast is FYE 2026.

Revenue Assumptions
The City’s major revenue sources include property taxes and sales tax. Each of these revenue sources are driven by the growth of the local economy and the City’s population. This is also true of several of the City’s other revenue sources including fees and charges for service, franchise taxes, and licenses and permits. The 5-year financial forecast was developed with the following assumptions:
> No tax increases or significant new revenue sources
> Does not contemplate economic contractions or significant economic anomalies > Sales Tax growth ranges 1.2%-2.7% (HdL estimates)
> Property Tax grows 4.7% annually (conservative)
> Franchise Tax & Permits grow by CPI – 3.1%

Other Taxes 3.10% 3.10% 3.10% 3.10% 3.10%
Expenditure Assumptions
The baseline forecast presented herein includes expenditures already approved by and/or committed to by the City Council. Rising costs due to inflation, and/or interest rates are also anticipated and included in this forecast through growth factors applied to each forecast category. The 5-year financial forecast was developed with the following assumptions:
> No changes to staffing or service levels beyond FY 2026-27 proposed staffing changes > Salaries & Fringe Benefits increase 6%
> Pension cost based on latest CalPERS actuarial
> Supplies & Services grows by CPI – 3.1%
> Transfers out are estimated in accordance with 7-Year CIP Expenditures FYE 2027 FYE 2028 FYE 2029 FYE 2030 FYE 2031 Personnel Costs 6.10% 5.80% 6.00% 5.70% 5.70%

80 Other Considerations
The City’s largest liability is its pension liability. The City currently has a total of two pension plans administered by CalPERS. The pension plans consist of a miscellaneous agent plan and a safety agent plan.

The City’s pension contributions to CalPERS is made up of two parts: a Normal Cost and Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL). The Normal Cost is paid as a percentage of pensionable wages with payroll and is not impacted by investment returns. The UAL is determined by an Actuarial Valuation that takes into account investment returns, mortality, salary growth, and other assumptions. These are paid lump sum annually.

Year-to-year volatility and large increases over the last decade have led to higher required annual payments by the City.

This led the City to establish a Section 115 Trust in 2017 with PARS that is tax exempt and can offset and fund pension liabilities. It also allows the city to have separate investment strategies outside of CalPERS.

The City has deposited almost $29M YTD and the trust has a market value of $40.7M with a goal of having $53M by 2030.

PARS projects that the city’s current investment strategy (which is moderate with 50% Equity), would earn

6.50% annually going forward. This assumes annual contributions of $79k will be made at the end of each fiscal year and no disbursements.

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 development of the annual budget is
comprised of distinct phases and requires a great
deal of effort on the part of the City Council and all
members of the City’s management team.

1. The budget process shall start with a review of
the City’s Strategic Plan by City Council. This
review establishes the goals and objectives for
the upcoming budget cycle. Following that, the
long-range financial plan shall be updated.

2. The Budget Calendar is developed and
presented to the City Council.

3. An internal budget kick-off meeting shall be held
to review the technical and procedural aspects
of preparing the budget.

4. Departments may then prepare their line-item
budgets. Once the initial line-item requests
are compiled, Finance staff shall work with the
City Manager and departments to review the
requests and gain a high-level understanding
of the challenges facing the City and specific
departments, including gaps between revenues
and expenditures.

5. Budget review meetings may be held with each
department to discuss the proposed budgets,
including increases, reductions, or other
significant changes, goals and objectives, and
supplemental requests.

6. In accordance with the City’s Charter, the
Manager shall submit the proposed budget to
City Council by May 31st each year.

Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through
passage of an adopting resolution. Upon adoption
by the City Council, staff provides monthly and
quarterly reports as part of its 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 transfer part or all of
any unencumbered appropriation balance among
programs within a department, office, or agency
and, upon written request by the Manager, the City
Council may, by resolution, transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one
department, office, or agency to another.

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, internal service funds, and the Sewer Enterprise Fund.

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.

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.

City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2026-2027
33 Budget Overview
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.

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.

Corporate Center Maintenance District No. 1 Fund – This fund accounts for a special assessment charged to the certain businesses for the maintenance of the Stanton Channel landscaped berm in the business park. The monies received through the special assessment are restricted for only expenses defined in the annual resolution adopted by Council.

CATV PEG Grant Fund – This fund accounts for monies received from state video franchise holders per the terms of the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006 and City of Cypress Ordinances Numbers 1091 and 1164. PEG funds may be used to support public, educational, and governmental (PEG) channel facilities consistent with federal law.

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.

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.

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.

Cypress Recreation and Park District Debt Fund – This fund accounts for all the District’s long term debt.

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 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 City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2026-2027
35 Budget Overview
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.

39 Budget Overview
Fiscal Strategies
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. 40 City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2026-2027
Budget Overview
Summary of Financial Policies
In addition to the fiscal strategies, the City has the following financial policies:

1. Budget Policy

2. Fund Balance Reserve Policy

3. Capital Asset Policy

4. Investment Policy
This budget complies with the relevant financial policies.

Budget Policy
The purpose of the Budget Policy is to establish guidelines for the preparation, adoption, and presentation of the City’s annual budget. The budget shall provide a complete financial plan of all City funds and activities for the ensuing fiscal year.

The budget policy outlines how the city will address long range financial planning, revenues, expenditures, and internal service charges. It also outlines the annual budget process and reporting requirements.

The budget policy includes the City’s definition of a Structurally Balanced Budget: A budget is structurally balanced if it does not spend more on ongoing services than it receives in ongoing revenues.

Fund Balance Reserve Policy
The purpose of the Fund Balance Reserve Policy is to establish the level of unrestricted fund balance that should be maintained in the general fund for GAAP and budgetary purposes and to articulate a framework and process for how the city will increase or decrease the level of unrestricted fund balance over time.

This policy defines the different types of fund balance and designated uses. It also specifies thresholds for reserves within the General Fund and Infrastructure Reserve Fund.

Capital Asset Policy
The purpose of Capital Asset Policy is to establish the City’s capitalization criteria, update capital thresholds for each asset classification, provide estimates for useful lives of assets for depreciation/amortization, and maintain accurate and up-to-date records of capital asset information to prepare the City’s financial statements in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

Investment Policy
The purpose of the Investment Policy is to establish prudent investment cash management guidelines for the City. The investment goals of the City are safety, liquidity and yield. The City Treasurer and Finance Manager shall be responsible for reviewing and modifying this Statement of Investment Policy annually for City Council approval to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of safety, preservation of principal, and liquidity, and its relevance to current law and current financial and economic conditions.

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.

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. 46 City of Cypress | Annual Budget 2026-2027

Fines and Forfeitures
This revenue is generated from various ordinance violations and alarm fines.

Charges for Services
These fees are charged by various City departments to recover the cost of providing specific services. The largest revenue source in this category is from the reimbursement of expenses and services provided to the Cypress Recreation and Park District.

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.

Why Measure Performance?
Performance measurement is the process of collecting, analyzing, and reporting data regarding the performance of an organization. It helps the City Council and community evaluate the quality and effectiveness of government services. Performance measures include inputs (resources used), outputs (program activities), efficiency measures (ratio of inputs to outputs), and outcomes (the actual results of programs and services). Ideally, performance measurement generates information about program results and outcomes which drive future budget decisions.

How Are We Doing?
The Performance Measure Report aligns performance measurements with the City Council’s Strategic Plan to integrate key outcomes and performance measures. The City uses technology (Cypress Central App and social media analytics) to inform the way we track and interpret data, which allows us to more accurately document performance and provide the City Council, city management, and the community important decision-making tools.

Cypress Central App
The Cypress Central App allows residents to submit and track service requests. From March 2025 through March 2026, residents reported 2,177 issues—an increase from 2,010 the previous year—reflecting consistent use of the platform. In parallel with this growth, the app was updated in early 2026 to align with the City’s new brand, including a refreshed icon, splash page and background.

Communications and Social Media
The City of Cypress places a strong emphasis on communicating with residents about important local issues and City events. In 2025–2026, this work included the rollout of a new brand, City Logo and refreshed City Seal, alongside the continued use of an omni-channel strategy—social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube), print newsletters, direct email, its website and press releases— to disseminate important information.

The City’s bi-weekly e-newsletter continues to play an important role in keeping residents informed and connected to local events, programs and news. Reaching more than 7,700 subscribers through Mailchimp, the biweekly newsletter maintained an average open rate of 52.08% from March 2025 to March 2026, well above industry and government benchmarks and a strong indicator of resident engagement. To build on this strong performance, the city refreshed the newsletter as part of its recent branding efforts by redesigning the template to improve readability and visual consistency and introducing the name Cypress Connected to create a more recognizable identity.

Over the past year, the City’s social media presence has demonstrated strong performance across both Facebook and Instagram. Facebook continues to generate the highest overall visibility and traffic, with more than 2.6 million views and over 55,000 page visits. Instagram, meanwhile, has seen higher engagement and audience growth, with more than 1,800 new followers and a stronger interaction rate.

Together, these platforms work in tandem to expand the City’s reach and strengthen overall community engagement.

Direct Mail
The Progress community newsletter continues to serve as the City’s primary source of news for residents, as reflected in the 2025 community survey. Distributed bimonthly to 17,000 households Citywide, it delivers essential updates on City events, programs, projects, recreational activities and community happenings.

In early 2026, The Progress was refreshed to align with the City’s new brand, with updates to its layout and visual presentation. The refresh also included a renewed focus on the publication’s namesake, highlighting the City’s ongoing progress.

New Communication Activities
City Logo, City Seal and Rebranding: In 2026, the city launched a comprehensive rebranding effort to celebrate its 70th anniversary and create a more consistent and recognizable presence across all communications. The effort introduced a new City Logo, refreshed City Seal and design standards to strengthen the City’s connection with residents. As part of this initiative, the Communications Team developed a brand style guide to establish visual standards and a grammar guide to ensure clear, consistent written communication. Implementation of the new brand and supporting guidelines is ongoing across City materials and platforms.

LinkedIn Platform Launch: In February 2026, the city launched an official City of Cypress LinkedIn page to engage professional audiences and highlight Cypress as a strong employer, business partner and well-run public agency.

How Do We Measure Performance?
Î Response times and crime clearance rates are useful
measures for assessing a police department’s performance and effectiveness in enhancing public safety. The likelihood of a successful outcome is higher the faster emergency services can reach a call.

Î Internal data is collected to measure efficiencies in grant spending, police officer recruitment, and use of physical assets like the jail.

Î The Department applies for grants that fund additional activities like traffic safety and a tobacco sales enforcement program.

Hope Center Partnership
The Cypress Police Department continues to make meaningful progress this year through its ongoing partnership with the Hope Center, working collaboratively to connect individuals experiencing homelessness with critical resources and shelter options.

Through coordinated outreach efforts, officers have successfully referred 30 individuals to supportive services since the beginning of the year, helping them access temporary housing, case management, and long-term assistance programs. This partnership reflects the Department’s commitment to a solutionsoriented approach while reinforcing the City’s broader goal of reducing homelessness.

New Technologies
High Performance Evidence Computer - A high-performance computer was purchased for our Investigations Unit to efficiently review large volumes of digital evidence, including high-resolution photos, surveillance video, and extracted cellphone data. This system maintains a faster processor, increased RAM, and enhanced graphics capability to significantly improve playback, rendering, and overall review speed, allowing detectives to analyze evidence more quickly and accurately.

Taser 10 – The newest Taser less-lethal device was purchased for each of our officers. Along with the purchase came the creation of a Taser training team, which then trained each user in the new Taser device.

Î Recreation programs and classes are tracked to determine how well classes match customer preferences.

Î Recreation programs (especially senior services) not only serve Cypress residents, but the region. Breakdowns of resident versus nonresident participants illustrate this dynamic.

Î The Community Center and Senior Center are utilized by residents, businesses and non-profit groups. Metrics are provided on how often these spaces are rented and how often they are provided at a subsidized rate.

Housing
City Council successfully advanced amendments to the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan and the General Plan to implement the Statemandated Housing Element and unlock new housing and reinvestment opportunities along the Lincoln Avenue corridor.

These efforts have already facilitated the development of 54 new market-rate homes and 11 affordable units along the corridor, supporting the City’s housing goals while bringing new life and investment to a key area of the City.

Economic Development
The Community Development Department completed a multi-year regulatory modernization effort that consolidated five outdated Specific Plans into one unified Cypress Business Park Specific Plan (CBPSP).

The effort required extensive coordination with consultants, major property owners, and the Business Park Advisory Committee, resulting in adoption of the plan by the City Council in May 2025.

The new framework modernizes land use definitions, eliminates regulatory inconsistencies, expands administrative processing authority, and creates consistent development standards across the Business Park. Since adoption, the streamlined administrative procedures and updated development standards have made it easier for businesses to move projects through the entitlement and construction process, with recent owners and tenants such as Murray Company already benefiting from the improved Specific Plan. The CBPSP positions the Business Park to better support reinvestment, business attraction, and long-term economic competitiveness.

How Are We Doing?
Public Works is everywhere you look. Whether it’s the well-maintained roads we drive on, the parks where our children play, or the sewer system that takes waste away from our homes, Public Works is there.

Public Works is committed to maintaining the City’s infrastructure and delivering top-notch services to the community.

Traffic Signal Controllers
This past year, the City upgraded its traffic signal system by replacing outdated software, equipment, and components
citywide. The previous system was over 25 years old and no longer supported by the manufacturer. The upgraded system improves signal operations, enhances reliability, and provides engineers with access to advanced features and improved system functionality.

Capital Improvement Plan Updates
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a planning tool to ensure that the City’s infrastructure needs are addressed. One of the City’s Strategic Plan Goals is to “Maintain and Enhance Infrastructure and Facilities and the CIP is the City Council’s primary effort to accomplish this goal. The FY 2026-27 CIP includes everything from streets to parkways, traffic improvements, sewer and storm drains, facilities, and parks. Key projects include construction of the Executive Boardroom and Park Playground Equipment Replacement.

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 10,000 hours are donated to various recreation and social programs.

Notable Changes in FY 2026-27

1. Installation of AED’s and CPR/AED Training ($25k).

2. An over hire of an Office Assistant I/II at Community Center ($97k) and a Recreation Coordinator ($108k) position were added.

This project will replace play
structures with new modern
accessible structures and will
incorporate integrated shade
sails or standalone shade
structures to provide shade.

The project follows a repeating
two-year cycle: design for two
parks and construction of one
occuring in even years, with
the other play structure being
replaced the following year.

The rubberized play surfacing
will also be replaced with
the new play equipment to
meet fall-zone requirements.

Priority will be placed on larger
community parks first (Oak
Knoll, Veterans, Evergreen, and
Maple Grove North), but will be
evaluated and recommended
by Public Works and Recreation
and Community Services staff
based on safety, usage, useful
life, and history of damage and
vandalism.

The existing play equipment at
various parks is over 15 years old
and in need of replacement.

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 waterefficient irrigation schedules, resulting in up to 25% reduction
in water use.

Repairs/Replacement at various
parks
The wood structures require
costly bi-annual maintenance,
including wood replacement,
staining, patching, hardware
replacement, termite/pest
control, and other condition
defects due 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
and resilient to the elements,
with the fabric shades requiring
replacement every 10-15 years.

Cost to replace the shade sails is
approximately $5,000.
