TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE NATIONAL
INTERGOVERNMENTAL PURCHASING ALLIANCE TO PURCHASE
JANITORIAL SUPPLIES FOR CITY FACILITIES.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-15 authorizing participation in the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance to purchase janitorial supplies for City Facilities in the not-to-exceed amount of $65,000 for Fiscal Year 2025/26.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds for the purchase of sanitary supplies are included in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Operating Budget for the Civic Center, Diamond Bar Center, and various Parks totaling $65,000.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City's Purchasing Ordinance, codified in Chapter 3.24 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code, generally requires the use of formal bidding procedures for the procurement of goods and services that cost in excess of $45,000. Section 3.24.090(f) provides an exception as follows: "When supplies, personal property, services or equipment can be more efficiently or more cost efficient obtained through a cooperative purchasing program with a federal, state, county, local or other government purchasing program. Such purchases through a cooperative purchasing program shall be authorized by resolution of the City Council."
The City has been using Waxie Sanitary Supply for janitorial supplies at the City facilities. Waxie provides high-quality products and years of responsive customer service that staff has come to rely on. On February 17, 2015, the City Council authorized the use of the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (NIPA),
5.3 Packet Pg. 33
currently part of OMNIA Partners - Public Sector, for purchases of Waxie products for the Fiscal Year 2014/15. Subsequently, the City Council has authorized the use of NIPA for the procurement of Waxie products every year since. Staff is seeking authorization for continued use of the NIPA for purchases of Waxie products.
It is recommended that the City forgo its separate bidding process and utilize the bidding process conducted by the City of Tucson, Arizona, which served as the Principal Procurement Agency (lead agency) for the NIPA, and negotiated a contract with Network Services Company to obtain discounted pricing for about 1,400 Waxie products. These products may be purchased under the agreement by members of the NIPA, including the City of Diamond Bar, from Waxie Sanitary Supply as the local distributor for the Network Services Company. The NIPA is an intergovernmental cooperative purchasing alliance that procures contracted goods and services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) competitive solicitation process conducted by a public agency/governmental entity. The procurement process employed by the NIPA includes the following:
1. The lead agency prepares a competitive solicitation, incorporating language to make the agreement accessible nationally to agencies in states that allow intergovernmental (i.e., "piggyback") contract usage.
2. The lead agency issues the solicitation and any required amendments and notifications‚ and conducts pre-proposal conferences and/or meetings.
3. Interested suppliers respond to the solicitation.
4. The lead agency evaluates the responses, negotiates the final terms and conditions, and ultimately awards the master agreement.
The NIPA procurement process is similar to the City's formal bidding procedures, which makes master agreements appropriate for "piggybacking" for purchases of Waxie products included in the City of Tucson and Network Services Company master agreement.
The City's Purchasing Ordinance requires that participation in a governmental purchasing program be authorized by Council resolution. The Purchasing Ordinance also requires City Council approval for purchases from a single vendor in a fiscal year in excess of $45,000. Staff anticipates expenditures of $65,000 for Waxie products during Fiscal Year 2025/26.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
A. FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan Each year, the City prepares an annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program for City Council consideration that implements the Council’s priorities and Strategic Plan Goals, and provides the financial resources to deliver services to the community. The preparation of the annual budget is a significant and important undertaking that takes place over the course of more than five months.
Below is the schedule for the public meetings related to the FY 2025/26 City Budget:
• Council Study Session on Draft FY 2025/26 CIP and Draft Five-Year CIP Review – Held on 5/6/2025
• Council Study Session on Draft FY 2025/26 Operating Budget – Held 5/20/2025 • Adoption of the Proposed FY 2025/26 City Budget & CIP – Scheduled for 6/3/2025
On May 6, 2025, the City Council held a Study Session to review the Draft FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Following the Council’s discussion, there were two recommended changes to the presented Draft FY 2025/26 CIP:
1) Removed - Citywide Traffic Mitigation Fund Planning: $350,000, 2) Removed - City Fleet Electric Vehicle Charging Station (Design): $300,000.
On May 20, 2025, the City Council held a second Study Session to review the combined FY 2025/26 Proposed Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Following Council discussion regarding the proposed CIP project to design landscaping improvements within Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts (LLADs) 39-2022 and 41-2021, the scope of the project was revised to be an initial design and construction phase:
1) Revised Project Scope: Phase 1 - LLADs Irrigation and Landscape Improvements. (Design & Const.): $600,000.
Since the May 20th Study Session, additional changes to the Draft FY 2025/26
7.1 Packet Pg. 39
Operating Budget are recommended as follows:
• An additional $46,525 in revenues for Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Account Fund (202) and $29,737 in revenues for Gas Tax Fund (205) to reflect updated allocations from the State of California.
• An additional $3,376 in Revenues and Appropriations recommended for CDBG Fund (225) to reflect the updated allocations from Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA).
• An additional $45 thousand to be appropriated from the Equipment Maintenance & Replacement Fund (503) to support additional report
programming/development for the new Enterprise Land Management (ELM) system.
Compared to the prior year, the Proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget reflects a more challenging fiscal environment, characterized by a structural deficit and a weakening economic outlook. While the budget maintains funding for essential City programs and services, and includes limited investments in maintenance and capital improvements, the City must adopt a measured approach to long-term planning and financial commitments. Management remains cautious and conservative this budget cycle, recognizing ongoing pressures from escalating contract costs, rising labor, material and operating expenses, higher energy and fuel prices, and broader economic uncertainty portend a bumpy road ahead for the City, and possibly a wider economic slowdown.
Whereas the FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget contained a modest budgeted operating deficit of $145 thousand, primarily attributed to the use of one-time reserves for onetime costs, the Proposed FY 2025/26 Budget projects a General Fund surplus of $49 thousand. Notably, this surplus is largely dependent on a one-time 37% reduction in Transfers Out, highlighting a recurring structural imbalance that, if left unresolved, will result in continued structural deficits.
A structural deficit occurs when a municipality’s ongoing (recurring) revenues are insufficient to fund its ongoing expenditures under normal (status quo) economic conditions. Unlike one-time or cyclical shortfalls, structural deficits require deliberate policy actions, such as revenue enhancements or expenditure reforms, to eliminate the underlying gap.
Without corrective action, the City will likely erode Unassigned General Fund reserves in ten years, necessitating the use of Emergency Contingency Reserve Funds, and further defer capital maintenance obligations to cover the recurring structural deficit.
Over time, this will constrain service levels or necessitate sudden, large revenue increases.
Despite these fiscal challenges, the proposed budget prioritizes the implementation of high-priority objectives set by the City Council and remains guided by the three overarching goals found in the adopted FY 2024–2027 Strategic Plan:
• Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
7.1 Packet Pg. 40
• Open, Engaged and Responsive Government
• Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community
FY 2025/26 Proposed General Fund Budget Overview
The Proposed Operating Budget for the General Fund comprises estimated resources of $32.3 million and expenditures of $32.3 million. Altogether, the operational budget reflects a one-time surplus of $49 thousand:
General Fund Revenues & Expenditures
Revenues (On-going) $ 32,335,151
Expenses (One-time*) (32,286,151)
Addition to Fund Balance (One-Time) $ 49,000
*One-time expense adjustment made to balance budget (see below).
Despite a budgeted “paper” surplus of $49 thousand, the budget retains a structural imbalance of approximately $702 thousand once one‐time adjustments are removed.
This imbalance will reoccur for the foreseeable future requiring the use of fund balance in the absence of structural changes to General Fund revenues or expenditures.

Sales Taxes
Adopted Adopted Draft
FY 23/24 FY 24/25 FY 25/26
Sales tax revenue is projected to decline by $183,000
compared to the prior year—a significant reversal
from the $115,000 increase forecasted last year by
the City’s sales tax consultant. This downward
revision is primarily driven by updated assumptions
regarding statewide and national economic growth.
The City is seeing notable declines across several
key sectors, including Fuel & Service Stations,
General Consumer Goods, Online Sales, and
Building & Construction

Cell tower lease revenue is projected to increase
$49,000 due to one additional site under lease and
adjustments for CPI to current leases.
Recreation Programs – Program revenue is
projected to have a net decrease of $85,000 mainly
due to a decrease in Contract Classes and a
continued decline in revenues from Youth Sports
Programs.

Gas Tax – Transfer In
Adopted Adopted Draft
FY 23/24 FY 24/25 FY 25/26
The Transfer-In from the Gas Tax Fund reimburses
the General Fund for eligible road maintenance
activities each year. However, as maintenance costs
continue to rise, available Gas Tax revenue remains
insufficient to fully cover these expenses. For FY
2025/26, total eligible costs are projected at $1.8
million—exceeding available Gas Tax funding by
$317,000.
$1,204,000 $1,475,000 $1,435,000
22.51% -2.71%
Expenditure Highlights - General Fund: $32,286,151
Proposed General Fund expenditures for FY 2025/26 have decreased by $583 thousand, or 1.8%, compared to the prior year’s Adopted Budget. In response to declining revenues, staff conducted a thorough review of all expense accounts and took deliberate steps to reduce or eliminate expenses in order to present a balanced initial draft. As a result, $1.04 million in expenditures has been removed from the Draft FY 2025/26 Operating Budget being presented today.
7.1 Packet Pg. 43
Key reductions include decreases to the Transfer-Out category (as previously noted), deferral of the Parking Lot Slurry Seal program at City parks, a reduction to Lobbying Services for legislative advocacy, and a scale-back in Records Management activities.
The following highlighted items are presented for City Council consideration:
• Public Safety
Law Enforcement – FY 2025/26 County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) expenditures are expected to be approximately $8.8 million, representing the single largest line item and approximately 27.4% (up from 25.6%) of proposed General Fund expenditures. LASD proposed expenditures reflect a net increase of $398 thousand year-over-year, inclusive of a contract rate increase of
4.37% (down from 3.44% in the prior year) plus an increased Liability Trust Fund (LTF) surcharge of 13.0% (up from 12.5% in the prior year) on each contracted position. The General Fund includes a transfer-in from the Law Enforcement Reserve Fund in the amount of $50,000 for as-needed special assignments and suppression patrols which have proven to be a cost-effective approach to reducing crime and responding to specific public safety issues throughout the year. Lastly, the professional services budget for Public Safety also includes the third year of the Flock Agreement ($170,000) for the Automated License Plate Reader system.
Crossing Guard Services – The City provides Crossing Guard Services at seven (7) elementary schools and two (2) middle schools with a total of 16 guards. The total budget for crossing guard services in FY 2025/26 is $289,800.
This first contracted rate adjustment reflects a $9,800 increase as compared to the prior three years which saw a fixed rate.
Animal Control – Since incorporation, the City contracts with the Inland Valley Humane Society (IVHS) for animal control and licensing services. The current agreement, last amended in 2021, follows a gross contract model in which the City pays the full cost of services, offset by any licensing revenue collected by IVHS. This year, three large member cities have withdrawn from IVHS (Montclair, Chino, Ontario), prompting a change in the cost adjustment methodology. Rather than applying the standard pro-rata pooled adjustment factor, a flat 15% increase has been proposed for FY 2025/26.
The projected gross cost for IVHS services in FY 2025/26 is $647 thousand, representing an $84 thousand increase over the prior year. After accounting for estimated licensing and service fee revenues of $91 thousand, the proposed net cost to the City is $557 thousand, an increase of $117 thousand compared to the previous fiscal year.
• Human Resources – “Human Capital Investment Program” – Each year, the City Council adopts the Compensation and Benefits Plan for the upcoming fiscal year which includes cost of living adjustments, and employee positions with associated salary ranges and benefits. To remain an “Employer of Choice” in the
7.1 Packet Pg. 44
region the City must continue to reinvest in its personnel (i.e. human capital) in a manner similar to its capital projects and infrastructure. To identify and prioritize investment in organizational staffing and organizational structure, and to maintain, enhance and expand City programs, the City has developed a focused effort, led by members of the City Manager’s executive team, referred to as the Human Capital Investment Program (HCIP).
Cost-of-Living Adjustment – The City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations specify that the City Manager may request that the City Council authorize a Costof-Living Adjustment (COLA) for employees based on the March-to-March rates of the federal Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in Los Angeles/Orange Counties. This year’s CPI calculation in March 2025 was 3.1%. In order to avoid real wage losses and remain an “Employer of Choice” in the surrounding Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, it is recommended that the salary schedules for all benefitted classifications of employment including all executive positions, be increased by
3.1% effective with the pay period beginning June 28, 2025. A $100 per month increase to the Benefit Allotment is also recommended for all benefitted classifications of employment including the executive positions and members of the City Council to help keep up with corresponding health premium rate increases. This annual COLA and Benefit Allotment adjustment is a routine maintenance item to preserve the City’s competitive compensation structure. The total estimated cost is approximately $371 thousand, of which $322 thousand is funded by the General Fund.
• Parks & Recreation
The proposed Parks & Recreation department budget was developed based on continued community interest in valuable programs, services, and events.
Several programs and events offered this year to support an active and healthy community include summer youth day camp, senior dances, field allocations with sports organizations, contract classes, picnic reservations, and Concerts/Moviesin-the-Park. This fiscal year will include the ever-popular Wedding and Event Expo at the DBC to promote the facility, which is mostly a cost neutral event. All special events including: Windmill Lighting, Winter Snow Fest, Veterans Recognition, and the Halloween Party will continue to improve and bring the community together.
Expenses for recreation programs ($2.76 million) and operations at the Diamond Bar Center ($1.76 million) have been adjusted commensurate with the anticipated activities, and with a combined budget of $4.52 million the Parks & Recreation Department’s Proposed FY 2025/26 budget represents a total decrease of $100 thousand from the prior year. The Diamond Bar Center rental revenue is budgeted at $700 thousand, an increase of $25 thousand from the prior year. However, DBC revenues may fluctuate slightly in FY 2025/26 due to ongoing capital improvement projects scheduled for the facility in the late Summer of 2025. Recreation program revenue is expected to be down $85 thousand (12%) from the prior year amount of $703 thousand, with
7.1 Packet Pg. 45
$618 thousand budgeted for FY 2025/26. This decrease is mainly due to decreased participation in contract classes and some youth sports.
Special Revenue Fund Highlights
• Integrated Waste Management Fund (250) – The proposed budget of $899 thousand includes $21 thousand for expanded student waste reduction and recycling field trips. The City has maintained a student environmental education program with Discovery Cube for several years. Last year, the program expanded to include 3rd and 4th graders in addition to its usual 5th and 6th graders. Student participation exceeded the annual goal by February, well before the school year ended. This program has been well-received by schools as it provides a fun and interactive way to educate students about recycling, organic waste, and sustainable purchasing choices. Additionally, it supports the goals of SB 1383, particularly through Discovery Cube’s organics lab, which includes composting and vermicomposting activities.
• Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts (LLADs) – Much work has been done over the recent years to help address the operating deficits and reduce the General Fund subsidies to the LLADs, particularly Districts 39-2022 and 41-2021.
Total General Fund contributions to all three districts for FY 2025/26 is budgeted at $275 thousand, a decrease of $89 thousand from the prior year. Budgeted resources and expenditures for all three districts for FY 2025/26 are as follows – note that some districts are utilizing fund balance for proposed Capital Improvement Projects listed in the Draft FY 2025/26 CIP Plan:
Proposed FY 2025/26 Budget LLAD No. 38 LLAD No. 39-2022 LLAD No. 41-2021 Resources
Assessment Revenue $ 276,780 $ 687,833 $ 320,686
General Fund Contributions 217,326 45,535 12,314
Use of District Fund Balance - 354,449 187,873
Total Resources $ 494,106 $ 1,087,817 $ 520,873
Total Expenditures $ 493,992 $ 1,087,817 $ 520,873
Changes to Dist. Fund Balance $ 114 $ (354,449) $ (187,873) Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
• AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Fund (251) – The proposed budget of $74 thousand represents a decrease of $80 thousand and is recommended to accommodate citizen requests for neighborhood traffic management program (NTMP) improvements ($74 thousand). The year-over-year decrease is due to a $10 thousand reduction in funding for the NTMP and the removal of $70 thousand in funding previously allocated for zero-emissions replacement vehicles.
• Beverage Container Recycling Grant Fund (254) – The proposed $97 thousand budget includes $70 thousand for two (2) bottle refill stations at Diamond Bar Center.
7.1 Packet Pg. 46
• Park Development Fund (262) – The proposed budget of $35 thousand is for the design and manufacture of park and trail signs across the City. As the majority of park rules, information, and directional signs were purchased in FY 2024/25, there is a need to replace the faded, damaged and outdated trail wayfinding, flora/fauna, and historical signs which have not been replaced in over ten years. Many of these signs are undecipherable and staff recommends recreating signs with QR codes to ensure up-to-date information for park users.
Debt Service Fund Highlights
• Debt Service Fund (401) – In May 2021, the City refunded the outstanding Lease Revenue Bonds associated with the original acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. This achieved a gross savings of $1.736 million and present value savings of $1.63 million (or 20.85%) for the General Fund, which translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual debt service savings for the remainder of the term through June 1, 2033 at an effective interest rate of
1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by S&P as AA+ (top rating for this type of bond) which is a testament to the Council’s conservative and prudent fiscal policies. The total debt service (principal and interest) will be $723 thousand for the upcoming year and is funded by a transfer to the Debt Service Fund from the General Fund.
Internal Service Funds Highlights
• Self-Insurance Fund (501) – CA Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) covers the City’s Property, Pollution Liability, Crime, General Liability and Workers’ Compensation needs. The combined premiums for Property, Pollution, Crime and General Liability are anticipated to be approximately $651 thousand which reflects a year-over-year increase of $116 thousand (21.7%) due mainly to an increase in the annual General Liability contribution. Workers’ Compensation costs have increased $4 thousand to $141 thousand and are included in the various personnel line-item budgets for all city funds.
Historically, as the City initially operated as a self-insured entity, it maintained a $1 million fund balance reserve in the Self-Insurance Fund (Resolution No. 89- 53) to address potential insurance-related needs. However, given the critical need for one-time resources to help address the structural deficit in the FY 2025/26 budget, a permanent reduction of this reserve to $250 thousand is recommended. This adjustment is considered appropriate in light of the City’s current participation in the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), which provides comprehensive insurance coverage and related services. The recommended $250 thousand reserve level will serve as a prudent minimum balance to cover any uninsured or unforeseen losses or deductibles. A resolution amending the City’s Fund Balance and Reserve Funding Policy is included in Attachment 8.
• Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement Fund (502) – The proposed budget of $262 thousand is recommended for necessary operations and maintenance of
7.1 Packet Pg. 47
the citywide fleet, as well as the purchase of one replacement Public Works vehicle.
• Computer Equipment Maint. & Replacement Fund (503) – The proposed budget of $332 thousand is recommended for necessary information systems, hardware upgrades, and replacements, such as:
o (7) Replacement Servers
o (3) Laser Printer Replacements
o New Touch-Screens for Employee Time Keeping
o New Tablets for New Enterprise Land Management (ELM) System o Report Development for New ELM
o Phase 2 ELM System Integration with Laserfische and Financial System • Building Facility & Replacement Fund (504) – The proposed budget of $89 thousand is recommended for necessary facility maintenance projects not categorized as capital improvement projects, such as:
o City Hall Elevator Control Upgrade;
o City Hall Cubical Modifications and Office Furniture.
Fiduciary Fund
• OPEB Trust Fund (601) – The proposed budget for this fund consists only of revenue via a transfer-in from the General Fund in the amount of $88,000 and investment earnings in the amount of $26,600 designated to fund the City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust, an investment vehicle managed by CalPERS for the purpose of reducing the City’s long-term OPEB liabilities (e.g. retiree medical costs). This amount is unchanged from the prior fiscal year.
There are no expenses budgeted in this fund.
Capital Improvement Program
The Proposed FY 2025/26 CIP budget includes five (5) new projects totaling $5.2 million, encompasses three project categories and represents an expenditure decrease of 63.0% when compared to the Adopted CIP for FY 2024/25. The revised program does not include any projects funded by the General Fund.
Below is the list of proposed CIP projects for FY 2025/26:
• Pavement Rehabilitation Design Project FYs 2026-28
- (Arterials, Residential, Collector Street Rehab, and CDBG Curb Ramps).
7.1 Packet Pg. 48
• Arterial Street Rehab (Construction)
- Brea Canyon Rd from DBB to Pathfinder
- Brea Canyon Rd from Pathfinder to Golden Springs Dr
- Diamond Bar Blvd from Westbound SR 60 off-ramp to northern City Limits
• CDBG Area 6 ADA Curb Ramp Project (Construction)
• Battery Back-Up and CCTV Replacement Program FY25/26 (Const.) • Phase 1 - LLADs Irrigation and Landscape Improvements. (Design & Const.)
B. FY 2025/26 Gann Appropriations Limit
Voters approved Proposition 4 in November of 1979, an initiative that added Article XIII B to the California Constitution. This constitutional amendment, also known as the Gann initiative, provided a baseline appropriations limit for the City and capped expenditures for publicly funded programs. Pursuant to California statute, the City must calculate and adopt its annual appropriations limit by first applying an annual growth factor. The adopted limit then places a ceiling on the total amount of tax revenues the City may collect the following year to support City programs.
The appropriations limit can be calculated by the use of one of the following factors:
1. Based on the growth factor of City population change over the prior year and the change in the California per capita income over the prior year: 1.0637.
2. Based on the growth factor of County population change over the prior year and the change in the California per capita income over the prior year: 1.0676.
3. Based on the growth factor of change in the City’s non-residential new construction valuation and the change in the County or City population: 1.0142 and
1.0105 respectively.
California statute allows cities to use whichever factor is most favorable to its calculated limit. Therefore, the recommended growth factor used to compute the Gann appropriations limit for FY 2025/26 is the change in the County population and change in California per capita income: 1.0676. By using this growth factor, the City will have an appropriation limit of $65,424,852 for FY 2025/26. The City’s FY 2025/26 appropriations subject to the limit amount to $24,127,386 and are found to be under the calculated appropriations limit (Attachment 3).
C. FY 2025/26 Compensation Plan
In June 2024, the City Council adopted and amended the City of Diamond Bar Compensation Plan (Resolution No. 2024-20) effective for FY 2024/25. As discussed
7.1 Packet Pg. 49
above in Section A, the proposed changes to the Compensation Plan for FY 2025/26 includes cost-of-living adjustments and an adjustment to the standard benefit allotment (Attachments 4 & 5).
D. FY 2025/26 Fund Balance and Reserve Policy
In August 2019, the City Council adopted the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy (Resolution No. 2019-01) establishing various reserve minimums for City funds. The Self-Insurance Fund (501) was not included in this policy. The attached resolution approves an amended Fund Balance and Reserve Policy to include the Self Insurance Fund and adjust its funding level to a minimum fund balance of $250,000. The resolution rescinds outdated Resolutions No. 89-53 and 2019-36 in their entirety (Attachments 6 & 7).
E. FY 2025/26 Investment Policy
The Investment Policy states the goals of the City’s investment activities, the types of investments in which the City is permitted to invest its funds, and the reporting requirements. It is updated as necessary and reapproved by the City Council each year with approval of the Operating Budget.
In June 2024, the City Council adopted the most recent Investment Policy (Resolution No. 2024-21) which was prepared in accordance with the provisions outlined in the California Municipal Treasurer’s Association (CMTA) Investment Policy Certification Program. CMTA is solely focused on public agency treasury management in the State of California which lends itself more closely to the City’s investment requirements and goals. There are no changes recommended to the current investment policy at this time (Attachments 8 & 9).
SUMMARY
The Proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program reflects a more challenging fiscal environment than in previous years, marked by a structural deficit and a weakening economic outlook. While the budget continues to fund a broad range of essential City programs and services and includes limited investments in maintenance and capital improvements, as well as human capital, it also presents a measured and cautious approach to the City’s long-term planning and financial commitments.
Staff is currently working on a comprehensive strategy to build sustainable revenues over the long-term and will engage in discussions with the City Council to explore options in the coming months. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolutions to approve the FY 2025/26 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget, along with the related Gann Appropriations Limit, and amendments to the City’s Compensation & Benefits Plan, Fund Balance and Reserve Policy, and Investment Policy.

Honorable Mayor and Council Members
City of Diamond Bar
RE: City Manager’s Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year 2025/26 Presented for your consideration and approval, is the City’s Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26.
Compared to the prior year, the Draft FY 2025/26 Operating Budget reflects a more challenging fiscal environment, characterized by a structural deficit and a weakening economic outlook. While the budget maintains funding for essential City programs and services, and includes limited investments in maintenance and capital improvements, the City must adopt a measured approach to long-term planning and financial commitments. Management remains cautious and conservative this budget cycle, recognizing ongoing pressures from escalating contract costs, rising labor, material and operating expenses, higher energy and fuel prices, and broader economic uncertainty portend a bumpy road ahead for the City, and possibly a wider economic slowdown.
Whereas the FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget contained a modest budgeted operating deficit of $145 thousand, primarily attributed to the use of one-time reserves for one-time costs, the Proposed FY 2025/26 Budget projects a General Fund surplus of $49 thousand. Notably, this surplus is largely dependent on a onetime 37% reduction in Transfers Out, highlighting a recurring structural imbalance that, if left unresolved, will result in continued structural deficits.
A structural deficit occurs when a municipality’s ongoing (recurring) revenues are insufficient to fund its ongoing expenditures under normal (status quo) economic conditions. Unlike one-time or cyclical shortfalls, structural deficits require deliberate policy actions, such as revenue enhancements or expenditure reforms, to eliminate the underlying gap.
Without corrective action, the City will likely erode Unassigned General Fund reserves in ten years, necessitating the use of Emergency Contingency Reserve Funds, and further defer capital maintenance obligations to cover the recurring structural deficit. Over time, this will constrain service levels or necessitate sudden, large revenue increases
7 7.1.b
Packet Pg. 61
With that said, the proposed budget continues to implement the various objectives and priorities of the City Council guided by the adopted FY 2024-2027 Strategic Plan.
The proposed General Fund Budget reflects the following estimated resources and expenditures:
Budgeted Resources (On-going): $32,335,151
Budgeted Expenditures (One-time*): (32,286,151)
Net Surplus (One-time) + $49,000
*One-time expense adjustment made to balance budget (see below).
Despite a budgeted “paper” surplus of $49 thousand, the budget retains a structural imbalance of approximately $702 thousand once one‐time expense adjustments are removed. This imbalance will reoccur for the foreseeable future requiring the use of fund balance in the absence of structural changes to General Fund revenues or expenditures:

2024-2027 Strategic Plan
In April 2023, the City Council adopted the 2024-2027
Diamond Bar Strategic Plan which set high-level
aspirational goals and priorities for the community over a three-year period. The Strategic Plan builds upon
past success and is designed to serve as the
foundation for consistent policy and funding decisions, while being flexible enough to adapt to new,
unforeseen challenges and issues.
The 2024-2027 Strategic Plan includes the following
Core Values:
• Community & Livability
• Transparency & Accountability
• Service & Professionalism
To meet these Core Values, the plan establishes Goals and Objectives that set priorities for consistent policy making and guide the day-to-day operations of the City. Performance Measures are also identified which are used as key indicators to gauge progress over time. There are three (3) overarching Goals that include:
1. Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
2. Open, Engaged and Responsive Government
3. Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community
FY 2025/26 Department Work Plans
The FY 2025/26 Budget also includes Department Work Plans that highlight some of the key initiatives and projects that will be supported, with funding sources, over the next year. The Work Plan items are each tied to the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives, and Performance Measures, as a way to measure progress.

FY 2025/26 BUDGET SUMMARY
Estimated General Fund Resources - $32,335,151
The following highlighted items have been incorporated into the revenue estimates:
• Property Taxes – Property tax revenue is projected to increase by 4.02% to $7.0 million. Property Tax In Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF) is projected to increase 3.78% to $8.1 million.
• Sales Tax – Sales tax revenues are projected to decline by 2.78% to $6.4 million.
Year-over-year decreases are driven mainly by fuel and services stations, business & industry, and online sales.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) – Transient Occupancy Tax is projected to remain flat, staying at $1.4 million.
• Franchise Fees – Franchise fee revenues are projected to total $1.52 million, a decrease of 2.52%.
• Gas Tax – Transfer In – Gas tax revenue transferred to the General Fund from the Gas Tax Fund are projected to decrease by 2.71% to $1.4 million. These funds are used to reimburse the General Fund for as-needed street maintenance not already included in the annual Capital Improvement Program.
• Current Service Charges – Revenue from all sources of service charges is estimated as follows:
o Building Permit Activity – Decrease of 16.43% to $1.6 million. o Facility Lease/Rentals – Increase of 4.37% to $1.1 million. o Recreation Programs – Decrease of 12.09% to $618 thousand. 10 7.1.b
Packet Pg. 64
Estimated General Fund Appropriations - $32,286,151
The following highlighted items have been incorporated into the expenditure estimates:
• Public Safety
Law Enforcement – FY 2025/26 County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) expenditures are expected to be approximately $8.8 million, representing the single largest line item and approximately 27.4% (up from
25.6%) of proposed General Fund expenditures. LASD proposed expenditures reflect a net increase of $398 thousand year-over-year, inclusive of a contract rate increase of 4.37% (down from 3.44% in the prior year) plus an increased Liability Trust Fund (LTF) surcharge of 13.0% (up from 12.5% in the prior year) on each contracted position. The General Fund includes a transfer-in from the Law Enforcement Reserve Fund in the amount of $50,000 for as-needed special assignments and suppression patrols which have proven to be a costeffective approach to reducing crime and responding to specific public safety issues throughout the year. Lastly, the professional services budget for Public Safety also includes the third year of the Flock Agreement ($170,000) for the Automated License Plate Reader system.
Crossing Guard Services – The City provides Crossing Guard Services at seven (7) elementary schools and two (2) middle schools with a total of 16 guards.
The total budget for crossing guard services in FY 2025/26 is $289,800. This first contracted rate adjustment reflects a $9,800 increase as compared to the prior three years which saw a fixed rate.
Animal Control – Since incorporation, the City has contracted with the Inland Valley Humane Society (IVHS) for animal control and licensing services. The current agreement, last amended in 2021, follows a gross contract model in which the City pays the full cost of services, offset by any licensing revenue collected by IVHS. This year, three large member cities have withdrawn from IVHS (Montclair, Chino, Ontario), prompting a change in the cost adjustment methodology. Rather than applying the standard pro-rata pooled adjustment factor, a flat 15% increase has been proposed for FY 2025/26.
The projected gross cost for IVHS services in FY 2025/26 is $647 thousand, representing an $84 thousand increase over the prior year. After accounting for estimated licensing and service fee revenues of $91 thousand, the proposed net cost to the City is $557 thousand, an increase of $117 thousand compared to the previous fiscal year.
11 7.1.b
Packet Pg. 65
• Human Resources – “Human Capital Investment Program” – Each year, the City Council adopts the Compensation and Benefits Plan for the upcoming fiscal year which includes cost of living adjustments, and employee positions with associated salary ranges and benefits. To remain an “Employer of Choice” in the region the City must continue to reinvest in its personnel (i.e. human capital) in a manner similar to its capital projects and infrastructure. To identify and prioritize investment in organizational staffing and organizational structure, and to maintain, enhance and expand City programs, the City has developed a focused effort, led by members of the City Manager’s executive team, referred to as the Human Capital Investment Program (HCIP).
Cost-of-Living Adjustment – The City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations specify that the City Manager may request that the City Council authorize a Cost-ofLiving Adjustment (COLA) for employees based on the March-to-March rates of the federal Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in Los Angeles/Orange Counties. This year’s CPI calculation in March 2025 was 3.1%. In order to avoid real wage losses and remain an “Employer of Choice” in the surrounding Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, it is recommended that the salary schedules for all benefitted classifications of employment including all executive positions, be increased by 3.1% effective with the pay period beginning June 28, 2025. A $100 per month increase to the Benefit Allotment is also recommended for all benefitted classifications of employment including the executive positions and members of the City Council to help keep up with corresponding health premium rate increases. This annual COLA and Benefit Allotment adjustment is a routine maintenance item to preserve the City’s competitive compensation structure. The total estimated cost is approximately $371 thousand, of which $322 thousand is funded by the General Fund. • Parks & Recreation Programs – The proposed Parks & Recreation department budget was developed based on continued community interest in valuable programs, services, and events. Several programs and events offered this year to support an active and healthy community include summer youth day camp, senior dances, field allocations with sports organizations, contract classes, picnic reservations, and Concerts/Movies-in-the-Park. This fiscal year will include the ever-popular Wedding and Event Expo at the DBC to promote the facility, which is mostly a cost neutral event. All special events including:
12 7.1.b
Packet Pg. 66
Windmill Lighting, Winter Snow Fest, Veterans Recognition, and the Halloween Party will continue to improve and bring the community together.
Expenses for recreation programs ($2.76 million) and operations at the Diamond Bar Center ($1.76 million) have been adjusted commensurate with the anticipated activities, and with a combined budget of $4.52 million the Parks & Recreation Department’s Proposed FY 2025/26 budget represents a total decrease of $100 thousand from the prior year. The Diamond Bar Center rental revenue is budgeted at $700 thousand, an increase of $25 thousand from the prior year. However, DBC revenues may fluctuate slightly in FY 2025/26 due to ongoing capital improvement projects scheduled for the facility in the late Summer of 2025. Recreation program revenue is expected to be down $85 thousand (12%) from the prior year amount of $703 thousand, with $618 thousand budgeted for FY 2025/26. This decrease is mainly due to decreased participation in contract classes and some youth sports.
Special Revenue Fund Highlights
• Integrated Waste Management Fund (250) – The proposed budget of $899 thousand includes $21 thousand for expanded student waste reduction and recycling field trips. The City has maintained a student environmental education program with Discovery Cube for several years. Last year, the program expanded to include 3rd and 4th graders in addition to its usual 5th and 6th graders. Student participation exceeded the annual goal by February, well before the school year ended. This program has been wellreceived by schools as it provides a fun and interactive way to educate students about recycling, organic waste, and sustainable purchasing choices.
Additionally, it supports the goals of SB 1383, particularly through Discovery Cube’s organics lab, which includes composting and vermicomposting activities.
• Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts (LLADs) – Much work has been done over the recent years to help address the operating deficits and reduce the General Fund subsidies to the LLADs, particularly Districts 39-2022 and 41-2021.
Total General Fund contributions to all three districts for FY 2025/26 is budgeted at $275 thousand, a decrease of $89 thousand from the prior year. 13 7.1.b
Packet Pg. 67
• AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Fund (251) – The proposed budget of $74 thousand represents a decrease of $80 thousand and is recommended to accommodate citizen requests for neighborhood traffic management program (NTMP) improvements ($74 thousand). The year-over-year decrease is due to a $10 thousand reduction in funding for the NTMP and the removal of $70 thousand in funding previously allocated for zero-emissions replacement vehicles.
• Beverage Container Recycling Grant Fund (254) – The proposed $97 thousand budget includes $70 thousand for two (2) bottle refill stations at Diamond Bar Center.
• Park Development Fund (262) – The proposed budget of $35 thousand is for the design and manufacture of park and trail signs across the City. As the majority of park rules, information, and directional signs were purchased in FY 2024/25, there is a need to replace the faded, damaged and outdated trail wayfinding, flora/fauna, and historical signs which have not been replaced in over ten years. Many of these signs are undecipherable and staff recommends recreating signs with QR codes to ensure up-to-date information for park users.
Debt Service Fund Highlights
• Debt Service Fund (401) – In May 2021, the City refunded the outstanding Lease Revenue Bonds associated with the original acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. This achieved a gross savings of $1.736 million and present value savings of $1.63 million (or 20.85%) for the General Fund, which translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual debt service savings for the remainder of the term through June 1, 2033 at an effective interest rate of 1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by S&P as AA+ (top rating for this type of bond) which is a testament to the Council’s conservative and prudent fiscal policies. The total debt service (principal and interest) will be $723 thousand for the upcoming year and is funded by a transfer to the Debt Service Fund from the General Fund.
14 7.1.b
Packet Pg. 68
Internal Service Fund Highlights
• Self-Insurance Fund (501) – CA Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) covers the City’s Property, Pollution Liability, Crime, General Liability and Workers’ Compensation needs. The combined premiums for Property, Pollution, Crime and General Liability are anticipated to be approximately $651 thousand which reflects a year-over-year increase of $116 thousand (21.7%) due mainly to an increase in the annual General Liability contribution. Workers’ Compensation costs have increased $4 thousand to $141 thousand and are included in the various personnel line-item budgets for all city funds.
Historically, as the City initially operated as a self-insured entity, it maintained a $1 million fund balance reserve in the Self-Insurance Fund (Resolution No. 89-53) to address potential insurance-related needs.
However, given the critical need for one-time resources to help address the structural deficit in the FY 2025/26 budget, a permanent reduction of this reserve to $250 thousand is recommended. This adjustment is considered appropriate in light of the City’s current participation in the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), which provides comprehensive insurance coverage and related services. The recommended $250 thousand reserve level will serve as a prudent minimum balance to cover any uninsured or unforeseen losses or deductibles. A resolution amending the City’s Fund Balance and Reserve Funding Policy will be added to the June 3, 2025 FY 2025/26 Budget Adoption report for the City Council’s consideration.
• Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement Fund (502) – The proposed budget of $262 thousand is recommended for necessary operations and maintenance of the citywide fleet, as well as the purchase of one replacement Public Works vehicle.
• Computer Equipment Maint. & Replacement Fund (503) – The proposed budget of $287 thousand is recommended for necessary information systems, hardware upgrades, and replacements, such as:
o (7) Replacement Servers
o New Tablets for New Enterprise Land Management (ELM) System o (3) Laser Printer Replacements
o Phase 2 ELM System Integration with Laserfische and Financial System o New Touch-Screens for Employee Time Keeping.
15 7.1.b
Packet Pg. 69
• Building Facility & Replacement Fund (504) – The proposed budget of $89 thousand is recommended for necessary facility maintenance projects not categorized as capital improvement projects, such as:
o City Hall Elevator Control Upgrade;
o City Hall Cubical Modifications and Office Furniture.
Fiduciary Fund
• OPEB Trust Fund (601) – The proposed budget for this fund consists only of revenue via a transfer-in from the General Fund in the amount of $88,000 and investment earnings in the amount of $26,600 designated to fund the City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust, an investment vehicle managed by CalPERS for the purpose of reducing the City’s long-term OPEB liabilities (e.g. retiree medical costs). This amount is unchanged from the prior fiscal year. There are no expenses budgeted in this fund.
Capital Improvement Program Highlights
The FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget includes five (5) new projects totaling $5.2 million designated for improvements to the City’s’ streets, traffic infrastructure, and landscapes. The CIP represents an expenditure decrease of 63.0% when compared to the Adopted CIP for FY 2024/25 and does not include any projects funded by the General Fund. The CIP was reviewed for consistency with the City’s General Plan at the May 13, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting. Major CIP projects include:
• Pavement Rehabilitation Design Project FYs 2026-28
- (Arterials, Residential, Collector Street Rehab, and CDBG Curb Ramps).
• Arterial Street Rehab (Construction)
- Brea Canyon Rd from DBB to Pathfinder
- Brea Canyon Rd from Pathfinder to Golden Springs Dr
- Diamond Bar Blvd from Westbound SR 60 off-ramp to northern City Limits
• CDBG Area 6 ADA Curb Ramp Project (Construction)
• Battery Back-Up and CCTV Replacement Program FY25/26 (Const.) 16 7.1.b
Packet Pg. 70
• Phase 1 - LLADs Irrigation and Landscape Improvements. (Design & Const.)
CONCLUSION
The Proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program reflects a more challenging fiscal environment than in previous years, marked by a structural deficit and a weakening economic outlook. While the budget continues to fund a broad range of essential City programs and services and includes limited investments in maintenance and capital improvements, as well as human capital, it also presents a measured and cautious approach to the City’s long-term planning and financial commitments.
Staff is currently working on a comprehensive strategy to build sustainable revenues over the long-term and will engage in discussions with the City Council to explore options in the coming months.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Executive Management Team, especially Finance Director Jason M. Jacobsen, for their efforts in preparing this year’s Budget. I would also like to thank all of our talented and dedicated staff for their continued and unwavering flexibility, creativity and support in the delivery of city services.
I would like to recognize the City Council for their effective fiscal leadership and commitment to serving the community. It is through the City Council’s forwardthinking leadership and prudent fiscal practices, that Diamond Bar is able to deliver a commitment to service excellence and strive to achieve our Community Values: Community & Livability, Transparency & Accountability, Service & Professionalism.

2. Utilization as an operations guide for administrative staff in the management and control of fiscal resources.
3. Presentation of the City's financial plan for the ensuing fiscal year, itemizing projected revenues and estimated expenditures.

BASIS OF BUDGETING
The City of Diamond Bar's annual operating budget is prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) unless otherwise noted below:
1. The budgetary basis for governmental funds (e.g. General Fund, CIP Fund, Special Revenue funds, Debt Service Fund) is in conformity with GAAP, with a few minor exceptions. In conformity with GAAP, the modified accrual basis of accounting is used wherein revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period, while expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred. However, in the following cases the budgetary basis differs from GAAP:
a. Adjustments to recognize gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in their market value are not budgeted.
b. Items reported as “other financing sources” and “other financing uses” are classified as revenues and expenditures under the budgetary basis of accounting.
2. The budgetary basis for proprietary funds (e.g. Internal Service funds) is in conformity with GAAP, using the accrual basis of accounting for all revenues and expenses, except for the following instances:
a. The receipt of long-term debt proceeds, capital outlays, and debt service principal payments are budgeted, but allocations for depreciation and amortization
expense are not.
Each of the City's funds is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that records assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenue and expenditures. Funds are established and segregated for the purpose of recording specific programs or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations.
The General Fund accounts for all the general revenue of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds and for expenditures related to rendering the general services provided by the City. The City of Diamond Bar has twenty-nine Special Revenue Funds that are used to account for specific revenues that are legally restricted to expenditure for particular purposes. The Capital Project Fund is used to account for the purchase or construction of major capital facilities. The Debt Service Fund is used to account for principal and interest payments on outstanding fixed rate bonds. Internal Service Funds are used to account for goods and services provided to other departments within the City such as liability insurance and equipment replacement.

BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS
The City Manager is responsible to the City Council for the faithful execution of the City Budget. In order to ensure authorized expenditures are managed in the most efficient and economical manner possible, the City Council authorizes the City Manager to increase or transfer appropriations within the General Fund, Special Revenue Fund or any other unrestricted Fund. The City’s budget may be amended in the following ways:
- If a fund has an Undesignated Fund Balance during the Fiscal Year, the City Manager may approve requests for budget increases with Council approval.
- Budget adjustments between a department’s line items with a null effect on the overall department budget may be made with the City Manager’s approval.
- During the fiscal year, the City Council may modify approved programs and activities or implement new activities that may require budget amendments. On such occasions when the Council approves a project without amending the budget, that approval will constitute authority for the Finance Director to amend the budget subject to the City Manager’s approval.
- The City Manager may approve budget amendments to carryover appropriations from the prior year, as authorized by the annual budget resolution.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City’s budget development is shaped by several financial and operational polices. These policies promote and ensure organizational continuity, consistency, transparency, and responsibility from year to year. This section identifies some of the major short and long-term planning documents, financial and operational policies, and fiscal management tools that the City of Diamond Bar employs in order to guarantee fiscal and programmatic integrity and to guide the development of the City’s budget.
Annual Budget and Financial Reporting Policy
The purpose of this policy is to ensure a balanced annual operating budget and reporting procedures to safeguard public funds and maximize resources available for use by the City in delivering programs and services. A balanced budget is defined as a budget in which operating revenues should cover operating expenditures, including debt service. The ending fund balance must meet minimum policy levels. For the general fund, this level has been stablished at 25%. Under this policy, it is allowable for total expenditures to exceed revenues in a given year; however, in this sutation, beginning fund balance can only be used to fund capital improvement plan projects, or other "one-time," non-recurring expenditures.
CAL Card Use Policy
The City of Diamond Bar has joined the CAL Card program which is administered through the State General Services Division and US Bank. This program provides a mechanism for government agencies to provide purchasing cards to their employees to expedite purchases of goods and services. This policy sets forth policies and procedures for CAL Card usage.
Compensation for City Commissioners/Committee Members
The purpose of this policy is to establish compensation for attendance at Commission/Committee Meetings for City Commissioners/Committee Members.
Drawing Warrants and Checks Upon City Funds
California State law requires the Mayor and City Clerk to execute and countersign all warrants and checks issued for payment from City funds. Government Code Section 37203 provides that the City Council may prescribe an alternative method for drawing warrants and checks. Through adoption of this Policy, the City Council established an alternative method to insure the timely drawing of warrants and checks upon City funds.
Travel, Expense and Reimbursement Policy
The City of Diamond Bar recognizes the value of attendance by City officials and employees at professional conferences, seminars, meetings with other government officials, professional organizations, community organizations, and constituents and ceremonial events and activities that promote or benefit the City. This policy establishes travel authorization, expense, reimbursement, and reporting standards consistent with the provisions of this policy and in compliance with California Government Code Sections 53232.2 and 53232.3.

Fixed Asset Capitalization and Inventory Control Policy The purpose of this policy is to ensure adequate control and appropriate use of City fixed assets. The procedures are intended to define fixed assets and to establish guidelines for budgeting, purchasing and disposing fixed assets. This policy does not apply to infrastructure assets.
Anti-Fraud Policy
To establish policy and procedures for clarifying acts that are considered to be fraudulent, describing the steps to be taken when fraud or other related dishonest activities are suspected, and providing procedures to follow in accounting for missing funds, restitution and recoveries.
Cash Handling Policy
The purpose of this policy is to safeguard public funds and also to maximize resources available for use by the City in delivering programs and services. These policies recognize the decentralized nature of the receipting and depositing process, while providing for standardized procedures.
Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish a key element of the financial stability of the City by setting guidelines for fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is an important measure of economic stability. It is essential that the City maintain adequate levels of unassigned fund balance to mitigate financial risk that can occur for unforeseen revenue fluctuations, unanticipated expenditures, and other unexpected circumstances. The fund balance also provides cash flow liquidity for the City's general operations.
Capital Financing and Debt Management Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the City's utilization of capital financing and debt for capital improvement projects, property acquisition, and projects whose useful life will exceed the term of the financing.
Unclaimed Funds Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish the proper disposition and accounting for unclaimed money in accordance with Government Code Sections 50050 through 50056.
Investment Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporarily idle cash and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled funds in accordance with the applicable local, state and federal laws.

401 - DEBT SERVICE FUND
FUND DESCRIPTION
This fund was established to account for governmental debt incurred by the City. The Debt Service fund will account for the payment of principal, interest and related administrative costs incurred (e.g. bank fees). The General Fund makes a transfer-in to the Debt Service Fund to provide the resources needed to meet the City’s debt obligations.
The City’s only outstanding debt relates to the 2002 financing needed for the acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. In May 2021, the City refunded $7.83 million of the outstanding Lease Revenue Bonds associated with the original 2002 acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. This achieved a gross savings of $1.736 million and present value savings of $1.633 million (or 20.85%) which translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual debt service savings to the General Fund for the remainder of the term (June 2033), and an effective interest rate of 1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by S&P as AA+ (top rating for this type of bond) which is a testament to the City Council's prudent fiscal policies.
The total debt service (principal and interest) will be $712,600 for FY 2023-24. The current bonds mature June 1, 2033 and the outstanding amount is approximately $5.8 million as of July 1, 2023. The City’s legal debt limit as of June 30, 2022 is $422,238,938.

APPROPRIATION LIMIT CALCULATION (GANN
LIMIT)
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, more commonly referred to as the Gann Initiative or Gann Limit, was approved by California voters in November 1979 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of taxes that state and local governmental agencies can receive and spend in one year.
The limit is different for each agency and the limit changes each year. Each year's limit is based on the amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in fiscal year 1978-79 in each agency, modified for changes in inflation and population in each subsequent year. For cities which incorporated after 1978-79, such as the City of Diamond Bar, the initial appropriations limit was set by the voters at the time of incorporation. The City of Diamond Bar's base year is 1989-90.
Each year the City Council must adopt, by resolution an appropriations limit for the following year. The factor that the City uses to compute the appropriation limit is based on the growth factor of the County population change over the prior year and the change in the California per capita income. By using this factor the City will have an appropriation limit of $65,424,852 for FY 2025-26.

EXHIBIT “A”
Investment Policy
1. Policy
1.1 This Statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City of Diamond Bar’s (“City”) temporarily idle cash and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled funds in accordance with the applicable local, state and federal laws.
It is the policy of the City Council to review, update and adopt the City's Investment Policy on an annual basis.
2. Scope
2.1 This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City of Diamond Bar.
The Policy applies to the following funds and is accounted for in the City’s annual audited financial statements.
a. General Fund
b. Special Revenue Funds
c. Debt Service Funds
d. Capital Improvement Fund
e. Internal Service Funds
3. Standards of Prudence
3.1 The City Treasurer (or Finance Director) authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City of Diamond Bar investing public funds
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 292
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 2 of 37
pursuant to this policy are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling and managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, the City Treasurer or Finance Director is authorized to acquire investments as authorized by law.
4. Investment Objectives
4.1 The investment of funds of the City of Diamond Bar is directed to the goals of safety, liquidity and yield. The authority governing investments for municipal governments is set forth in the Government Code, Sections 53600, et. seq.
4.1.1. Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the City of Diamond Bar shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City of Diamond Bar will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns. The City will operate only in those investments that are considered very safe.
4.1.2. Liquidity. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature at the same time as cash is needed to meet anticipated demands. Additionally, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio will consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets or local government investment pools which offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.
4.1.3. Yield. The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of achieving a competitive market rate of return or yield, while taking into account the investment risk constraints and
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 293
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 3 of 37
liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to safety and liquidity. The core investments shall be limited to low risk securities to be held to maturity with the following exceptions:
a. A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal.
b. A security swap would improve the quality, yield or target duration of the portfolio.
c. The liquidity needs of the portfolio require security to be sold.
5. Delegation of Authority
5.1 Authority to manage the City of Diamond Bar’s investment program is derived from Section 2.16.210 of the City of Diamond Bar’s Municipal Code which designates the City Manager to perform all duties associated with the legal function of the treasurer position.
Management responsibility is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer who shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and for establishing a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials, and their procedures in the absence of the Treasurer.
6. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
6.1 Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials are required to file annual disclosure statements as required for “public officials who manage public investments” (as defined and required by the Political Reform Act and related regulations, being Government Code Sections 81000 and the Fair Political Practices Commission [FPPC]).
7. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
7.1 The Treasurer (or Finance Director) will maintain a list of approved financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the public agency in the State of California. A determination should be made to insure that all approved broker/dealer firms and individuals covering the City of Diamond Bar are reputable and trustworthy. In
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 294
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 4 of 37
addition, the broker/dealer firms should have the ability to meet all of their financial obligations in dealing with the City of Diamond Bar. The firms and individuals covering the City of Diamond Bar should be knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and the investment products involved. No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository as established by State law. All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to conduct investment transactions with the City of Diamond Bar must supply the City Treasurer or the Finance Director with the following: audited financial statements, proof of NASD certification, trading resolution, proof of State of California registration, completed broker/dealer questionnaire, certification of having read the City of Diamond Bar’s investment policy and depository contracts.
An annual review of the financial condition and registrations of qualified bidders will be conducted by the Treasurer or the Finance Director. A current audited financial statement is required to be on file for each financial institution and broker/dealer with which the City of Diamond Bar invests.
8. Authorized and Suitable Investments
8.1. The City’s investments are governed by the California Government Code (CGC). Specific types of investments are defined in CGC 53635.
Also, CGC 53635.2 permits the use of CGC 53601 investment instruments, therefore, both CGC 53601 et seq. and CGC 53635 et seq. are the governing sections pertaining to legal investments. Investments will only be made in authorized securities with a maturity date of five (5) years or less from the transaction settlement date.
For the purpose of these investments, the compliance with the investment percentage(s), in regards to the total investment portfolio, shall be calculated on the date the investment is acquired. If the percentage is legally compliant on the date of purchase, then compliance with the law shall have been met.

10. Review of Investment Portfolio
10.1 The securities held by the City of Diamond Bar must be in compliance with Section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments at the time of purchase. Because some securities may not comply with Section 8.0 subsequent to the date of purchase the City Treasurer shall at least quarterly review the portfolio to identify those securities that do not comply. The City Treasurer shall establish procedures to report to the City Council major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the review of the portfolio.
Should any investment listed in Section 8 exceed a percentage-ofportfolio limitation due to an incident such as fluctuation in portfolio size, the affected securities may be held to maturity to avoid losses. When no loss is indicated, the Treasurer shall consider rebalancing the portfolio after evaluating the expected length of time that it will be imbalanced.
Portfolio percentage limits are in place in order to ensure diversification of the City investment portfolio; a small temporary imbalance will not significantly impair that strategy.
11. Collateralization
11.1 Collateralization will be required on two types of investments:
certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be 110% of market value of principal and accrued interest. The City Treasurer, at his/her discretion may waive the collateral requirement for deposits up to the maximum dollar amount which are covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, currently $250,000.
12. Safekeeping and Custody

13. Maximum Maturities
13.1 To the extent possible the City of Diamond Bar will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. The prescribed method of the City of Diamond Bar shall be referred to as “layering” the investments. Monies not needed to cover immediate operating costs may be invested up to a five year maturity.
14. Internal Controls
14.1 The City Treasurer and the Finance Director shall establish procedures that separate the internal responsibility for management and accounting of the investment portfolio. An analysis by an independent, external auditor shall be conducted periodically to review internal controls, account activity and compliance with policies and procedures.

Examples include securities backed by auto loans, credit card receivables, home equity loans, manufactured housing loans, farm equipment loans and aircraft leases.
Average Life. The average length of time that an issue of serial bonds and/or term bonds with a mandatory sinking fund feature is expected to be outstanding.
Bankers' Acceptance (BA's). A draft or bill of exchange drawn upon and accepted by a bank. Frequently used to finance shipping of international goods.

Benchmark Bills: In November 1999, FNMA introduced its Benchmark Bills program, a short-term debt securities issuance program to supplement its existing discount note program. The program includes a schedule of larger, weekly issues in three- and six-month maturities and biweekly issues in one-year for Benchmark Bills. Each issue is brought to market via a Dutch (single price) auction. FNMA conducts a weekly auction for each Benchmark Bill maturity and accepts both competitive and non-competitive bids through a web based auction system. This program is in addition to the variety of other discount note maturities, with rates posted on a daily basis, which FNMA offers. FNMA's Benchmark Bills are unsecured general obligations that are issued in book- entry form through the Federal Reserve Banks. There are no periodic payments of interest on Benchmark Bills, which are sold at a discount from the principal amount and payable at par at maturity. Issues under the Benchmark program constitute the same credit standing as other FNMA discount notes; they simply add organization and liquidity to the short-term Agency discount note market.
Benchmark Notes/Bonds: Benchmark Notes and Bonds are a series of FNMA “bullet” maturities (non-callable) issued according to a pre-announced calendar. Under its Benchmark Notes/Bonds program, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 30- year maturities are issued each quarter. Each Benchmark Notes new issue has a minimum size of $4 billion, 30- year new issues having a minimum size of $1 billion, with re-openings based on investor demand to further enhance liquidity. The amount of non-callable issuance has allowed FNMA to build a yield curve in Benchmark Notes and Bonds in maturities ranging from 2 to 30 years. The liquidity emanating from these large size issues has facilitated favorable financing opportunities through the development of a liquid overnight and term repo market. Issues under the Benchmark program constitute the same credit standing as other FNMA issues; they simply add organization and liquidity to the intermediate- and long-term Agency market.
Benchmark. A market index used as a comparative basis for measuring the performance of an investment portfolio. A performance benchmark should represent a close correlation to investment guidelines, risk tolerance and duration of the actual portfolio's investments.
Bid Price. Price at which a broker/dealer offers to purchase a security from an investor.

Book Entry Securities. Securities that are recorded in a customer’s account electronically through one of the financial markets electronic delivery and custody systems, such as the Fed Securities wire, DTC and PTC (as opposed to bearer or physical securities). The trend is toward a certificate-free society in order to cut down on paperwork and to diminish investors’ concerns about the certificates themselves. The vast majority of securities are now book entry securities.
Book Value. The value at which a debt security is reflected on the holder's records at any point in time. Book value is also called “amortized cost” as it represents the original cost of an investment adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Also called “carrying value.” Book value can vary over time as an investment approaches maturity and differs from “market value” in that it is not affected by changes in market interest rates.
Broker/Dealer. A person or firm transacting securities business with customers. A “broker” acts as an agent between buyers and sellers, and receives a commission for these services. A “dealer” buys and sells financial assets from its own portfolio. A dealer takes risk by owning inventory of securities, whereas a broker merely matches up buyers and sellers. See also "Primary Dealer." Bullet Notes/Bonds. Notes or bonds that have a single maturity date and are non-callable.

7.1.g
Packet Pg. 309
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 19 of 37
yield than similar securities issued without a call feature. There are three primary types of call options (1) European - one-time calls, (2) Bermudan - periodically on a predetermined schedule (quarterly, semi-annual, annual), and (3) American - continuously callable at any time on or after the call date. There is usually a notice period of at least 5 business days prior to a call date.
Callable Bonds/Notes. Securities, which contain an imbedded call option giving the issuer, the right to redeem the securities prior to maturity at a predetermined price and time.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligation (CMO). A security that pools together mortgages and separates them into short, medium, and long-term positions (called tranches). Tranches are set up to pay different rates of interest depending upon their maturity. Interest payments are usually paid monthly. In “plain vanilla” CMOs, principal is not paid on a tranche until all shorter tranches have been paid off. This system provides interest and principal in a more predictable manner. A single pool of mortgages can be carved up into numerous tranches each with its own payment and risk characteristics.
Commercial Paper. Short term unsecured promissory note issued by a company or financial institution. Issued at a discount and matures for par or face value.
Usually a maximum maturity of 270 days, and given a short-term debt rating by one or more NRSROs.

Derivatives. For hedging purposes, common derivatives are options, futures, swaps and swaptions. All Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”) are derivatives. (1) Financial instruments whose return profile is linked to, or derived from, the movement of one or more underlying index or security, and may include a leveraging factor, or (2) financial contracts based upon notional amounts whose value is derived from an underlying index or security (interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equities or commodities).

Usually large issues that are sold to investors worldwide and therefore have excellent liquidity. Despite their global sales, global notes sold in the U.S. are typically denominated in U.S. dollars.
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or "Ginnie Mae"). One of the large Federal Agencies. Government-owned Federal Agency that acquires, packages, and resells mortgages and mortgage purchase commitments in the form of mortgage-backed securities.

Government, but they are not direct obligations of the U.S. Government. For this reason, these securities will offer a yield premium over U.S. Treasuries. Some consider GSEs to be stealth recipients of corporate welfare. Examples of GSEs include: FHLB, FHLMC, FNMA and SLMA.
Government Sponsored Enterprise Security. A security issued by a Government Sponsored Enterprise. Considered Federal Agency Securities.
Index. A compilation of statistical data that tracks changes in the economy or in financial markets.

value of the security falls to nothing. Therefore, IOs are considered risky investments. Usually associated with mortgage-backed securities.
Internal Controls. An internal control structure ensures that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and 2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Internal controls should address the following points:
1. Control of collusion - Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working in conjunction to defraud their employer.
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping - By separating the person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who record or otherwise account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved.
3. Custodial safekeeping - Securities purchased from any bank or dealer including appropriate collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed with an independent third party for custodial safekeeping.
4. Avoidance of physical delivery securities - Book-entry securities are much easier to transfer and account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place. Delivered securities must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss increases with physically delivered securities.
5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members - Subordinate staff members must have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions. Clear delegation of authority also preserves the internal control structure that is contingent on the various staff positions and their respective responsibilities.
6. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers - Due to the potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone and electronic transactions, all transactions should be supported by written communications and approved by the appropriate person. Written communications may be via fax if on letterhead and if the safekeeping institution has a list of authorized signatures.

Launched in 6/99 as a refinement to the FHLB bullet bond auction process. In a break from the FHLB’s traditional practice of bringing numerous small issues to market with similar maturities, the TAP Issue Program uses the four most common maturities and reopens them up regularly through a competitive auction. These maturities (2, 3, 5 and 10 year) will remain open for the calendar quarter, after which they will be closed and a new series of TAP issues will be opened to replace them. This reduces the number of separate bullet bonds issued, but generates enhanced awareness and liquidity in the marketplace through increased issue size and secondary market volume.
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). One of the large Federal Agencies. A wholly owned corporation of the United States government that was established in 1933 to develop the resources of the Tennessee Valley region in order to strengthen the regional and national economy and the national defense. Power operations are separated from non-power operations. TVA securities represent obligations of TVA, payable solely from TVA's net power proceeds, and are neither obligations of nor guaranteed by the United States. TVA is currently authorized to issue debt up to $30 billion. Under this authorization, TVA may also obtain advances from the U.S. Treasury of up to
$150 million. Frequent issuer of discount notes, agency notes and callable agency securities.
Total Return. Investment performance measured over a period of time that includes coupon interest, interest on interest, and both realized and unrealized

gains or losses. Total return includes, therefore, any market value appreciation/depreciation on investments held at period end.
Treasuries. Collective term used to describe debt instruments backed by the U.S. Government and issued through the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Includes Treasury bills, Treasury notes, and Treasury bonds. Also a benchmark term used as a basis by which the yields of non-Treasury securities are compared (e.g., "trading at 50 basis points over Treasuries").
Treasury Bills (T-Bills). Short-term direct obligations of the United States Government issued with an original term of one year or less. Treasury bills are sold at a discount from face value and do not pay interest before maturity. The difference between the purchase price of the bill and the maturity value is the interest earned on the bill. Currently, the U.S. Treasury issues 4-week, 13-week and 26-week T-Bills
Treasury Bonds. Long-term interest-bearing debt securities backed by the U.S.
Government and issued with maturities of ten years and longer by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury. The Treasury stopped issuing Treasury Bonds in August 2001.
Treasury Notes. Intermediate interest-bearing debt securities backed by the U.S.
Government and issued with maturities ranging from one to ten years by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury. The Treasury currently issues 2-year, 5-year and 10-year Treasury Notes.
Trustee. A bank designated by an issuer of securities as the custodian of funds and official representative of bondholders. Trustees are appointed to insure compliance with the bond documents and to represent bondholders in enforcing their contract with the issuer.
Uniform Net Capital Rule. SEC regulation 15C3-1 that outlines the minimum net capital ratio (ratio of indebtedness to net liquid capital) of member firms and non-member broker/dealers.
Unrealized Gains (Losses). The difference between the market value of an investment and its book value. Gains/losses are “realized” when the security is actually sold, as compared to “unrealized” gains/losses which are based on current market value. See also “Realized Gains (Losses).”

Variable-Rate Security. A bond that bears interest at a rate that varies over time based on a specified schedule of adjustment (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, semiannually or annually). See also “Floating Rate Note.” Weighted Average Maturity (or just “Average Maturity”). The average maturity of all securities and investments of a portfolio, determined by multiplying the par or principal value of each security or investment by its maturity (days or years), summing the products, and dividing the sum by the total principal value of the portfolio. A simple measure of risk of a fixed-income portfolio.
Weighted Average Maturity to Call. The average maturity of all securities and investments of a portfolio, adjusted to substitute the first call date per security for maturity date for those securities with call provisions.
Yield Curve. A graphic depiction of yields on like securities in relation to remaining maturities spread over a time line. The traditional yield curve depicts yields on U.S. Treasuries, although yield curves exist for Federal Agencies and various credit quality corporates as well. Yield curves can be positively sloped (normal) where longer-term investments have higher yields, or “inverted” (uncommon) where longer-term investments have lower yields than shorter ones.
Yield to Call (YTC). Same as “Yield to Maturity,” except the return is measured to the first call date rather than the maturity date. Yield to call can be significantly higher or lower than a security’s yield to maturity.
Yield to Maturity (YTM). Calculated return on an investment, assuming all cash flows from the security are reinvested at the same original yield. Can be higher or lower than the coupon rate depending on market rates and whether the security was purchased at a premium or discount. There are different conventions for calculating YTM for various types of securities.
Yield. There are numerous methods of yield determination. In this glossary, see also "Current Yield,” "Yield Curve," "Yield to Call" and "Yield to Maturity."

Appendix C
Local Agency Investment Fund
Program Description
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a voluntary program created by statute in 1977 as an investment alternative for California’s local governments and special districts and it continues today under Treasurer John Chiang’s administration. The enabling legislation for the LAIF is Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code.
This program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the Treasurer’s Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer.
The LAIF is part of the Pooled Money Investment Account (PIMA). The PMIA began in 1955 and oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an in-house Investment Committee. The PMIB members are the State Treasurer, Director of Finance and State Controller.
The Local Investment Advisory Board (LIAB) provides oversight for LAIF. The Board consists of five members as designated by statute. The Chairman is the State Treasurer or his designated representative. Two members qualified by training and experience in the field of investment or finance, and the State Treasurer appoints two members who are treasurers, finance or fiscal officers or business managers employed by any county, city or local district or municipal corporation of this state. The term of each appointment is two years or at the pleasure of the Treasurer.
All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4. The State Treasurer’s Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third party custodian. All investments are purchased at market and a market valuation is conducted monthly.
Additionally, the PMIA has Policies, Goals, and Objectives for the portfolio to make certain that our goals of Safety, Liquidity and Yield are not jeopardized, and that prudent management prevails. These policies are formulated by investment staff and reviewed by both the PMIB and the LIAB on an annual basis.

The State Treasurer’s Office is audited by the Bureau of State Audits on an annual basis and the resulting opinion is posted to the STO website following its publication. The Bureau of State Audits also has a continuing audit process throughout the year. All investments and LAIF claims are audited on a daily basis by the State Controller’s Office as well as an in-house audit process involving three separate divisions.
Under Federal Law, the State of California cannot declare bankruptcy, thereby allowing the Government Code Section 16429.3 to stand. This Section states that “moneys placed with the Treasurer for deposit in the LAIF by cities, counties, special districts, nonprofit corporations, or qualified quasi-governmental agencies shall not be subject to either of the following: (a) transfer or loan pursuant to Sections 16310, 16312, or 16313, or (b) impoundment or seizure by any state official or state agency.”
During the 2002 legislative session, California Government Code Section 16429.4 was added to the LAIF’s enabling legislation. The Section states that “right of a city, county, city and county, special district, nonprofit corporation, or qualified quasi-governmental agency to withdraw its deposited moneys from the LAIF, upon demand, may not be altered, impaired, or denied in any way, by any state official or state agency based upon the state’s failure to adopt a State Budget by July 1 of each new fiscal year.”

Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
1. Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this policy is to establish prudent reserve policies to ensure the long-term fiscal health and stability of the City. The practice and discipline to maintain adequate reserve funds is necessary to ensure that adequate funding is available for planned and unplanned replacements of capital assets and equipment, infrastructure repairs and replacements, long-term obligations, as well as, economic uncertainties, local emergencies and natural disasters.
2. Definitions
2.1 A fund’s equity – commonly referred to as “fund balance” – is generally the difference between its assets and its liabilities. In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Government Fund Type Definitions, fund balance will be displayed in the following classifications depicting the relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for which resources can be used:
2.1.1 Non-spendable Fund Balance – The portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in a spendable form, such as prepaid items, inventories of supplies, or loans receivable; or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, such as the principal portion of an endowment.
2.1.2 Restricted Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that can be used only for those purposes that are specified by their providers, such as granters, bondholders, or higher levels of government. It is important to note that these resources are constrained by external parties.
2.1.3 Committed Fund Balance – The portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority, and remains binding unless removed in the same manner.
EXHIBIT “A”
7.1.i
Packet Pg. 332
City Council Policy 2019-01 EffectiveRevised Date: 08/20/2019[MM/DD/YYYY] Page 2 of 5
2.1.4 Assigned Fund Balance – The portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but that are neither restricted nor committed. Such intent needs to be established at either the highest level of decision-making, or by an official designated for that purpose.
2.1.5 Unassigned Fund Balance – The portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that do not fall into one of the above aforementioned categories. The General Fund is the only fund that should report this category of fund balance.
3. Policy
3.1 The fund balance policies are relevant to the unrestricted fund balances, which include committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances. Since there are practical and/or legal limitations on the use of non-spendable or restricted fund balances, they are not subject to the fund balance policies.
3.2 This policy shall be reviewed and approved annually, with any revisions, by the City Council during the review and adoption of the annual City Budget and Capital Improvement Program.
3.3 The City Council may assign fund balance to a specific purpose in relation to this fund balance policy. By resolution, the Council has also authorized the City Manager and/or the Finance Director to assign fund balance.
Assignments of fund balance by the City Manager and/or the Finance Director do not require formal action by the City Council; however, each assignment must be approved by either of the authorized officials before the item can be presented in the financial statements.
3.4 When multiple categories of fund balance are available for expenditure (for example, a construction project is being funded partly by a grant, funds set aside by the City Council, and unassigned fund balance), the City will start with the most restricted category – spending those funds first – before moving down to the next category with available funds.
3.5 All uses of reserve funds shall be approved by the City Council.
3.6 The City Council may designate portions of the Unassigned General Fund balance for future capital projects, continuing or carry-over appropriations from prior fiscal years, or any other municipal purpose that the City Council deems prudent or necessary. Best practices dictate that fund balance reserves should not be used for ongoing operating expenditures; however, the City Council’s retains discretion as to when to utilize the reserves in this manner.
