Meeting Date: June 2, 2026

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
SUBJECT: Three-Year Cooperation Agreement with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) to Participate in the Los Angeles Urban County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for Fiscal Years 2027-28 Through 2029-30.

STRATEGIC GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources RECOMMENDATION:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The City receives approximately $275,000 in CDBG funds annually. All expenditures associated with the CDBG Program are funded through the City’s annual CDBG Grant allocation process and approved separately by the City Council.

BACKGROUND:

Diamond Bar has been a participating city in the Los Angeles Urban County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program since July 1991. The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) administers the program and allocates CDBG funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to participating cities.

In order to participate in the CDBG Program, LACDA must requalify with HUD every three years to obtain entitlement status as an Urban County. LACDA then requires participating cities to enter into a three-year Cooperation Agreement with the County. The current agreement will expire June 30, 2027.

HUD has traditionally required cities to execute their Cooperation Agreements with LACDA no later than midJune of the prior year. However, staffing reductions at HUD have delayed its release of the annual Community Planning and Development (CPD) Notice containing the requalification instructions and the submission due dates for the next three-year period. As a result, LACDA's attorneys have not drafted an updated Cooperation Agreement template. To streamline the execution of the Cooperation Agreements, LACDA is encouraging its participating cities to plan ahead by recommending that their city councils consider adopting resolutions

Page 42 of 405 ends

Agenda Item #: 6.4
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
authorizing their city managers to execute the forthcoming agreements, subject to approval as to form by their city attorneys.

The attached Resolution (Attachment 1) provides the necessary authorization for the Mayor to sign the Cooperation Agreement, and authorization for the City Manager to sign other documents necessary to administer the CDBG Program.

CDBG projects funded by the City of Diamond Bar have included allocations toward public services programs, public works projects, and housing programs. Currently, CDBG funding is provided for the Home Improvement Program and ADA curb ramp improvements.

As a participant in the Urban County CDBG Program, the City retains control over funding decisions for the use of CDBG funds subject to CDBG Program regulations. CDBG program administration is currently provided by City staff with the assistance of a consultant to prepare the annual project descriptions and summaries, quarterly performance reports, County and federal CDBG reports and documents, prevailing wage monitoring, and to ensure compliance with federal requirements and guidelines.

The County provides staff resources and assistance to the participating cities, including preparation of the Consolidated Five-Year and Annual Plans and Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report, oversight of the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) and IDIS Reports, support for CDBG/HUD environmental review and clearances, CDBG program training, and assistance with monitoring and audits.

ANALYSIS:

CDBG “entitlement communities” are designated as cities in a metropolitan statistical area, cities with populations of at least 50,000 and qualified urban counties with populations of at least 200,000. The City of Diamond Bar qualifies as an entitlement community and is eligible to apply for CDBG funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As an entitlement community, the City would be responsible for all HUD planning, reporting, and compliance requirements.

LACDA has invited the City to continue its participation in the Urban County CDBG Program for another threeyear period. Although eligible to become an entitlement community, Diamond Bar has thus far opted to remain in the Urban County CDBG Program in order to utilize the personnel and technical resources provided by LACDA.

Should the City of Diamond Bar decide to become an entitlement community, the City would be allowed to use twenty percent (20%) of the CDBG allocation for administration expenses. However, there would be increased reporting requirements and compliance obligations, as the City would be solely responsible for program compliance. Entitlement cities typically retain dedicated staff and consultants to administer day-today program operations and federal reporting requirements. In addition, the City would be assigned a HUD Program Manager to monitor the City’s performance and provide training and technical assistance.

If the City were to become an entitlement city, the annual CDBG allocation could increase or decrease based on the national CDBG funding pool. HUD determines the amount of each entitlement grant by a formula using measures of community needs including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing, and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas.

Should the City remain in the Urban County CDBG Program, the City would remain eligible to participate in other programs administered by the LACDA. The City would be eligible to continue its participation in the County’s HOME Program, which includes a First Time Homebuyer’s Program. Additionally, the City may participate in the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program and Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program. Moreover, the County often provides additional assistance to the cities by undertaking Countyfunded or jointly funded community development activities within the local jurisdictions. These services are provided at no additional cost to the City.

It is recommended that the City of Diamond Bar continue its participation with the Urban County CDBG Program. The City’s annual CDBG allocations have ranged from $253,458 to $280,412 over the past three years.

If the City becomes an entitlement city, there are no assurances that the annual CDBG allocation would increase significantly. However, it is certain that there would be additional administrative responsibilities and compliance obligations associated with entitlement status, resulting in increased staffing and consultant costs.

In light of these factors, the more fiscally sound option would be for the City to continue participating in the Urban County CDBG Program.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.

Agenda Item #: 8.1
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
SUBJECT: Brown Act Update (SB 707): Technology Disruption and Outreach Policies.

STRATEGIC GOAL: Open, Engaged and Responsive Government RECOMMENDATION:

A. Adopt the “Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Council Meetings” Policy in Compliance with Government Code § 54953.4(b)(1); and
B. Adopt the “Encouraging Public Participation in City Council Meetings” Policy in Compliance with Government Code § 54953.4(3)(C)(i).

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act) (Government Code Section 54950 et seq.) establishes requirements for open meetings of local legislative bodies. Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 707 (Durazo) (SB 707) into law on October 3, 2025. The intent of SB 707 is to modernize the Brown Act to improve transparency and expand public access, especially for disabled, working, and non-English speaking communities. The new requirements under SB 707 take effect in two phases:
• January 1, 2026: New optional teleconferencing provisions for all Brown Act bodies. • July 1, 2026: Expanded public access, two-way teleconferencing participation, and language access for “eligible legislative bodies.”
To comply with some of the provisions of SB 707, two new City Council Policies are required and presented for approval to address "Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During City Council Meetings" (Attachment 1), and "Encouraging Public Participation in City Council Meetings" (Attachment 2). A summary of the key provisions of SB 707 is included in Attachment 3. The full text of SB 707 is included in Attachment 4.

ANALYSIS:

Page 47 of 405 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.1
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
The following provisions of SB 707 apply to an “eligible legislative body,” defined as a City Council in a city with a population of 30,000 or more, or in a county with a population of more than 600,000. The City Council of the City of Diamond Bar qualifies as an “eligible” legislative body” under this definition and is therefore subject to the following requirements effective July 1, 2026. These provisions do not apply to City commissions.

Must Provide an Opportunity for Remote Public Access to and Participation in Meetings • The public must be able to participate through either a two-way phone or audio-visual platform. The City’s current system in use since 2020 meets these requirements. • The City Council must approve a disruption policy (Attachment 1 – Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Council Meetings Policy) addressing the following:

In case of technological disruption, the City Council must recess the open session for at least one hour and make a good faith attempt to restore the service. The City Council may not reconvene until after one hour or the telephonic/internet service is restored, whichever is earlier. Upon reconvening the open session, if telephonic or internet service has not been restored, the City Council must make a finding by roll call vote that good faith efforts were made to restore the telephonic/internet service and that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote access.

Translation Assistance at Meetings
• Must “reasonably assist” any member of the public who wishes to translate a City Council meeting into any language or wishes to receive interpretation provided by another member of the public. • Must publicize instructions on how to request translation assistance. • The City is not required to provide its own interpretation of meetings, but may elect to do so.

Translation of Agendas
• Must translate each City Council meeting agenda into all languages spoken jointly by 20% or more of the City’s population, provided that 20% or more of the population that speaks that language speaks English “less than ‘very well,’” and post each translated agenda in the same manner as the agenda printed in English. This requirement applies only to the agenda itself, not the entire agenda packet. The eligible language for the City of Diamond Bar is Chinese (see Attachment 5 - Applicable Languages Worksheet).
• Must provide a physical location to allow members of the public to post their own additional translations of the agenda.

Additional Required Actions to Encourage Residents from Underrepresented and Non-English Speaking Communities to Participate in Meetings
• Must have system in place for electronically accepting and fulfilling requests for meeting agendas and documents.
• Must have an accessible internet webpage dedicated to public meetings with a direct link on the homepage. This webpage must be translated into eligible languages and each translation must be accessible through a prominent direct link posted on the primary internet website home page of the City.
• Must make reasonable efforts, as determined by the attached "Encouraging Public Participation in City Council Meetings” City Council Policy (Attachment 2), to invite groups that do not traditionally participate in public meetings to attend.

The following provisions of SB 707 apply to City Council as well as all City Commissions.

Page 48 of 405 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.1
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
Legislative Body Members May Participate Via Teleconference Due to a Disability Under Certain Circumstances
• A member of a legislative body with a disability, may be permitted to participate in a meeting by remote participation as a reasonable accommodation, without having to post an agenda at, or to allow public access to, the location from which they are participating by teleconference. • The member participating remotely due to a disability is required to and must participate by both audio and video technologies (unless their physical condition results in a need to participate off camera) and must disclose whether anyone 18 years of age or older are present in the room and the nature of the member’s relationship to those individuals. • Remote participation under this provision would be treated as in-person attendance for all purposes, including quorum requirements.

Changes to Alternative Teleconferencing Provisions
• SB 707 revises and expands the Brown Act’s existing alternative teleconferencing provisions. These changes include:
o Sunset date extended from January 1, 2026 to January 1, 2030. o A uniform set of requirements that apply in all circumstances in which members of a legislative body are permitted to participate in a meeting from a remote location via teleconference without posting an agenda at or allowing public access to their teleconference location. These uniform requirements are substantially similar to the existing requirements that apply to teleconferencing during a “proclaimed state of emergency” and for “just cause” and “emergency circumstances” and require in most instances that the local agency provide either (1) a two-way audiovisual platform, or (2) a two-way telephonic service - and a live webcasting of the meeting for the public to remotely hear and visually observe the meeting, that the agenda describe how the public may access the meeting, and that the legislative body take no further action on any items on the agenda if remote access is disrupted and not restored. o Remote participation under the alternative teleconferencing provisions would once again be allowed during “local emergencies,” in addition to states of emergency proclaimed by the Governor.
o The definitions of “emergency circumstances” and “just cause” authorizing a member to participate via teleconference are now combined into a single definition of “just cause” and expanded to include an immunocompromised relative or domestic partner and certain military service obligations.
o Must create a list of available meeting locations (Attachment 6 – Meeting Locations). o Subject to several limitations and requirements, the option for remote meeting participation for eligible subsidiary bodies may be extended to commissions, which serve exclusively in an advisory capacity. The Planning Commission would not be eligible because they are not purely advisory.
o Members of multijurisdictional, cross-county bodies would be permitted to participate in meetings using the alternative teleconferencing provisions under specified circumstances.

Other Notable Changes to the Brown Act
• Must provide a copy of the Brown Act to every elected or appointed legislative body member. • A legislative body is prohibited from adjusting its own compensation at a special meeting. • The current provisions of the Brown Act requiring an oral report prior to approving any changes made to the compensation or benefits of a local agency executive have been extended to changes in compensation or benefits of department heads, as well.
• The January 1, 2026 sunset date for AB 992’s social media restrictions has been removed. This law prohibits a majority of the members of a legislative body from using social media platforms to discuss among themselves official business, including making posts, commenting and even using digital icons known as “emojis”. This law also prohibits a member of the legislative body from responding directly to

Page 49 of 405 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.1
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
any communication on an internet-based social media platform regarding a matter that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body that is posted or shared by another member. • The existing authority of a legislative body to remove or limit participation by persons who engage in behavior that disrupts the orderly conduct of the meeting, has been extended to include members of the public participating in a meeting remotely via a two-way telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform who engage in such behavior.

Next Steps
Upon City Council adoption of the two proposed Policies, staff will implement all SB 707 requirements and policies. Staff will monitor implementation and update procedures as needed to ensure continued compliance with state law and best practices through the duration of Senate Bill 707. Additionally, the updated Brown Act rules and mandated policies will be brought back at a later time to be incorporated into the City Council Code of Ethics and Standards of Operation Policy.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Policies as to form.

[ Approved by Governor October 03, 2025. Filed with Secretary of State October 03, 2025. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 707, Durazo. Open meetings: meeting and teleconference requirements. (1) Existing law, the Ralph M. Brown Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body, as defined, of a local agency be open and public and that all persons be permitted to attend and participate.

This bill would, beginning July 1, 2026, and until January 1, 2030, require an eligible legislative body, as defined, to comply with additional meeting requirements, including that, except as specified, all open and public meetings include an opportunity for members of the public to attend via a 2-way telephonic service or a 2-way audiovisual platform, as defined, and that the eligible legislative body take specified actions to encourage residents to participate in public meetings, as specified. The bill would require an eligible legislative body, on or before July 1, 2026, to approve at a noticed public meeting in open session a policy regarding disruption of telephonic or internet services occurring during meetings subject to these provisions, as specified, and would require the eligible legislative body to comply with certain requirements relating to disruption, including for certain disruptions, recessing the open session for at least one hour and making a good faith attempt to restore the service, as specified.
(2) Existing law prohibits a majority of the members of a legislative body, outside a meeting authorized by the act, from using a series of communications of any kind to discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item of business that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. Existing law defines “meetings” for these purposes to mean any congregation of a majority of the members of a legislative body at the same time and location, as specified, to hear, discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item that is within the subject Home Bill Information California Law Publications Other Resources My Subscriptions My Favorites

matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. Until January 1, 2026, existing law excepts from the prohibition a member engaging in separate conversations or communications outside of a meeting with any other person using an internet-based social media platform for specified purposes, provided, among other things, that a majority of the members do not use the internet-based social media platform to discuss among themselves business of a specific nature that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body.

This bill would make the above-described exception related to communications on an internet-based social media platform applicable indefinitely.
(3) Existing law requires a legislative body, prior to taking final action, to orally report a summary of a recommendation for a final action on specified forms of compensation for a local agency executive, as defined, during the open meeting in which the final action is to be taken.

This bill would also require the legislative body to make that oral report, as provided above, prior to taking final action on those specified forms of compensation for a department head or other similar administrative officer of the local agency.
(4) Existing law requires a legislative body of a local agency or its designee, at least 72 hours before a regular meeting, to post an agenda that meets specified requirements, including that the agenda contain a brief general description of each item of business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting, as specified.

This bill would, beginning July 1, 2026, and until July 1, 2030, require the agenda for each meeting of an eligible legislative body, as defined, to be translated into all applicable languages. The bill would define “applicable languages” to mean languages, according to data from the most recent American Community Survey, spoken jointly by 20% or more of the applicable population, as specified, provided that 20% or more of the population that speaks that language that in that city or county speaks English less than “very well,” as specified, and except as provided.

Existing law requires every agenda for regular meetings to provide an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest of the public, as specified. Existing law specifies that the agenda is not required to provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body on any item that has already been considered by a committee, as specified, except if the item has been substantially changed since the committee heard the item, as determined by the legislative body.

This bill would add certain exceptions to the provision related to an item that has already been considered by a committee, including excepting committees whose primary subject matter jurisdiction focuses on elections, budgets, police oversight, privacy, removing from, or restricting access to, materials available in public libraries, or taxes or related spending proposals, except as specified. (5) Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to require a copy of the act to be given to each member of the legislative body and specified persons elected to serve as a member of the legislative body, and authorizes an elected legislative body member to require a copy to be given to each member of each legislative body all or a majority of whose members are appointed by or under the authority of the elected legislative body.

This bill would instead require a local agency to provide a copy of the act to any person elected or appointed to serve as a member of a legislative body of the local agency.

Existing law authorizes legislative bodies of local agencies to impose requirements upon themselves which allow greater access to their meetings than prescribed by the minimal standards set forth in the act, and authorizes an elected legislative body of a local agency to also impose those requirements on those appointed legislative bodies of the local agency of which all or a majority of the members are appointed by or under the authority of the elected legislative body.

This bill would remove the above-described requirement that members of an appointed legislative body of a local agency must be appointed by or under the authority of the elected legislative body of a local agency in order for the elected legislative body to impose the above-described requirements on the appointed legislative body. (6) Existing law provides any person attending an open and public meeting of a legislative body of a local agency with the right to record the proceedings with an audio or visual recorder or a still or motion picture camera, as specified.

Page 68 of 405 ends

This bill would remove the reference to an audio or visual recorder or a still or motion picture camera for purposes of recording the proceedings, as described above. (7) Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to use teleconferencing, as specified, and requires a legislative body of a local agency that elects to use teleconferencing to comply with specified general requirements, including that the local agency post agendas at all teleconference locations, identify each teleconference location in the notice and agenda of the meeting or proceeding, and have each teleconference location be accessible to the public. Existing law also requires that, during the teleconference, at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, except as specified.

Existing law authorizes members who are outside the jurisdiction of a health authority, as defined, that conducts a teleconferencing meeting to, notwithstanding the above-described general teleconference provisions, count towards the establishment of a quorum when participating in the teleconference if, among other things, at least 50% of the number of members that would establish a quorum are present within the boundaries of the territory over which the authority exercises jurisdiction.

Existing law authorizes, in certain circumstances, the legislative body of a local agency to use specified alternative teleconferencing which include provisions related to, among others, notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment and identifying and including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option. Those circumstances in which the legislative body of a local agency is authorized to use the alternative teleconferencing provisions include specified circumstances relating to a state of emergency, as defined, and, until January 1, 2026, subject to specified limitations, a member’s need to participate remotely due to just cause, defined to include, among other things, a need related to a physical or mental disability, or emergency circumstances, as defined, if certain quorum and disclosure requirements are met.

Existing law also authorizes certain eligible legislative bodies, including neighborhood councils and student body associations and student-run community college organizations to, until January 1, 2026, use alternate teleconferencing if, among other requirements, the city council or board of trustees, as applicable, has adopted an authorizing resolution and 2
/3 of the neighborhood city council or specified student organization, as applicable, votes to use alternate teleconference provisions, as specified.

This bill would revise and recast the above-specified teleconferencing and alternative teleconferencing provisions to uniformly apply certain noticing, disclosure, accessibility, and public commenting provisions. The bill would require a legislative body of a local agency that elects to use teleconferencing pursuant to these alternative teleconferencing provisions to comply with, in addition to any other applicable requirements under the act, specified requirements, including that the legislative body provides at least either 2-way audiovisual platform or 2-way telephonic service and a live webcasting of the meeting as a means by which the public may, among other things, remotely hear and visually observe the meeting, and that a member of the legislative body who participates in a teleconference meeting from a remote location pursuant to these alternative teleconferencing provisions and the specific provision of law that the member relied upon to permit their participation by teleconferencing are listed in the minutes of the meeting. The bill would require a local agency to identify and make available to legislative bodies a list of one or more meeting locations that may be available for use by the legislative bodies to conduct their meetings.

The bill would specify that nothing in the bill’s provisions is to be construed to prohibit a member of a legislative body with a disability, as defined, from participating in any meeting of the legislative body by remote participation as a reasonable accommodation pursuant to any applicable law. The bill would apply certain provisions relative to, among other things, quorum establishment to that circumstance.

The bill would instead authorize a health authority, as defined, to conduct a teleconference meeting pursuant to the above-described alternative teleconferencing provisions.

The bill would revise and recast the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable in a state of emergency, as defined. The bill would also include a local emergency, as defined, as a circumstance in which a legislative body of a local agency is authorized to use the alternative teleconferencing provisions.

Page 69 of 405 ends

The bill would revise and recast the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable in cases of a member’s need to participate remotely due to just cause or emergency circumstances, as defined, to remove the provision applicable to emergency circumstances, to revise related definitions, including broadening the definition of just cause to include, among other things, a physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member from attending in person, and to require the minutes for a meeting to identify the specific provision of law that each member relied upon to participate remotely, as specified. The bill would extend the authorization to use the alternative teleconferencing provision until January 1, 2030.

The bill would revise and recast the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable to neighborhood councils and student body associations and student-run community college organizations. In regards to the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable to student body associations and student-run community college organizations, the bill would exempt the California Online Community College from specified requirements for an in-person quorum, a physical location for public participation, and certain accommodations under the authorization, and remove the ability for a person with a disability that requires certain accommodations to count towards the in-person quorum requirement. The bill would specify that the student body associations and student-run community college organizations described above are those in any community college recognized within the California Community Colleges system, and would extend the authorization to the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. The bill would extend the authorization to use the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable to neighborhood councils and student body associations and student-run community college organizations until January 1, 2030.

The bill would, until January 1, 2030, also authorize a specified subsidiary body of local agencies to conduct a teleconference meeting pursuant to the above-described alternative teleconferencing provisions, provided that it complies with the requirements for alternative teleconferencing described above and additional requirements, including that the subsidiary body designates one physical meeting location within the boundaries of the legislative body that created the subsidiary body where members of the subsidiary body who are not participating remotely shall be present and members of the public may physically attend, observe, hear, and participate in the meeting, as specified.

The bill would, until January 1, 2030, also authorize specified multijurisdictional bodies of local agencies to conduct a teleconference meeting pursuant to the above-described alternative teleconferencing provisions, provided that it complies with the requirements for alternative teleconferencing described above and additional requirements, including that the eligible multijurisdictional body has adopted a resolution that authorizes the multijurisdictional body to use teleconferencing at a regular meeting in open session.

The bill would specify that these teleconferencing provisions are cumulative, and would authorize a legislative body to elect to use any teleconferencing provisions that are applicable to a meeting, regardless of whether any other teleconferencing provisions would also be applicable to that meeting.

Existing law defines “teleconference” for purposes of the authorization for a legislative body of a local agency to use teleconferencing to mean a meeting of a legislative body, the members of which are in different locations, connected by electronic means, through either audio or video, or both.

This bill would specify that “teleconference” does not include the attendance of one or more members of a legislative body in a meeting of the body solely by watching or listening via webcasting or any other similar electronic medium that does not permit members to interactively speak, discuss, or deliberate on matters. (8) Existing law authorizes a special meeting to be called any time by, among other persons, the presiding officer of the legislative body of a local agency, by delivering specified written notices and posting a notice on the local agency’s internet website, if the local agency has one. Existing law requires specified legislative bodies to comply with the internet website posting requirement.

The bill would remove the requirement that only specified legislative bodies comply with the internet website posting requirement, thereby imposing that requirement on all legislative bodies. (9) Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to hold an emergency meeting without complying with specified notice and posting requirements in the case of emergency circumstances, as specified, and imposes various requirements under these provisions applicable to either legislative bodies generally or legislative bodies which are a school board.

Page 70 of 405 ends

This bill would remove the school board distinction from the above-described provisions, thereby imposing the same requirements to hold an emergency meeting on all legislative bodies of local agencies.

By imposing additional duties on legislative bodies of local agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(10) Existing law authorizes, in addition to other related specified authorizations, the presiding member of the legislative body conducting a meeting or their designee to remove, or cause the removal of, an individual for disrupting the meeting. Existing law defines “disrupting” for these purposes to mean engaging in behavior during a meeting of a legislative body that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting, as specified.

This bill would specify that a meeting for purposes of that provision includes any teleconferenced meeting. The bill would specify that the existing authority of a legislative body or its presiding officer to remove or limit participation by persons who engage in behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting, as specified, applies to members of the public participating in a meeting via a 2-way telephonic service or a 2-way audiovisual platform, as those terms are defined. (11) The bill would make other updates to references in the act. (12) Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (13) The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (14) The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities. (15) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the following findings to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that interest:
(a) This act is necessary to provide opportunities for public participation in meetings of specified public agencies and to promote the recruitment and retention of members of those agencies. (b) This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in meetings.
(c) This act is necessary to modernize the Ralph M. Brown Act to reflect recent technological changes that can promote greater public access to local officials.
(d) The exclusively virtual nature of the California Online Community College presents unique barriers to the requirements for an in-person quorum, a physical location for public participation, and certain accommodations.

Participating students of the online community college come from all across the state and necessitating travel for these requirements would pose a significant and exclusionary barrier.

Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:
(a) This act is necessary to provide opportunities for public participation in meetings of specified public agencies and to promote the recruitment and retention of members of those agencies. (b) This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in meetings.

(d) The exclusively virtual nature of the California Online Community College presents unique barriers to the requirements for an in-person quorum, a physical location for public participation, and certain accommodations.

Participating students of the online community college come from all across the state and necessitating travel for these requirements would pose a significant and exclusionary barrier.

SEC. 26. The Legislature finds and declares that adequate public access to meetings is a matter of statewide concern and is not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution.

Therefore, this bill would apply to all cities, including charter cities.

SEC. 27. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district under this act would result from a legislative mandate that is within the scope of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution.

BACKGROUND:

Each year, the City prepares an annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 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. The Proposed FY 2026/27 Operating and CIP Budget is balanced for the upcoming fiscal year. However, this outcome was achieved only after substantial reductions to ongoing City programs and service levels. These reductions followed an extensive planning and study period, as well as careful review and deliberation by the City Council.

Below is the schedule for the review and adoption of the FY 2026/27 City Operating and CIP Budget:
• Community Budget Workshop #1: Review of Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget and Service Level Adjustments – Held March 3, 2026
• Community Budget Workshop #2: Review of Proposed FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Traffic Mitigation Fund Project Priorities, and Vehicle Lease Program – Held April 14, 2026 • Council Study Session #1 to review the Draft FY 2026/27 CIP and Draft Five-Year CIP – Held May 5, 2026 • Council Study Session #2 to review the Draft FY 2026/27 Operating Budget and Ten-Year General Fund Forecast – Held May 19, 2026
• Adoption of the Proposed FY 2026/27 Operating & CIP Budget, Compensation Plan, Gann Appropriations Limit, and Investment Policy – Scheduled for June 2, 2026.

Following the Study Session on May 19, 2026, adjustments were made to the proposed revenues for the three Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts totaling just $176 in aggregate. No other revisions have been made to the Draft FY 2026/27 Operating Budget proposed for adoption. In addition to the Operating and CIP budget, staff is presenting the City Council with the Ten-Year General Fund Forecast and the Five-Year CIP, both of which are included in the attached Draft Budget Book (see Attachment 1 Exhibit A "Proposed FY 2026/27 Operating and CIP Budget").

ANALYSIS:

General Fund Structural Deficit and Ten-Year Forecast
The Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget reflects the second year of the City’s ongoing structural deficit – a structural deficit is where recurring revenues are not able to keep up with the rate of inflation and cost increases. Unlike onetime or cyclical shortfalls, a structural deficit requires deliberate and ongoing policy actions, such as revenue enhancements, expenditure reductions, service-level adjustments, or other reforms, to eliminate the underlying gap.

Though the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget is balanced due to one-time revenue increases from realigned Use Fees, the updated Ten-Year General Fund Forecast remains largely unchanged from the prior year under a status quo scenario. Unless new recurring revenues materialize, or further service level reductions are made, the City can

Page 98 of 405 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.2
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
expect to see significant deficits starting as soon as next FY 2027/28 wherein a deficit of $790 thousand is anticipated even at the City's current reduced service levels. If this pattern holds, the City can expect to see the complete utilization of the General Fund’s $30 million fund balance by year eight, putting at stake the high quality of life, level of public safety and public infrastructure the City has prized since incorporation. Accordingly, while the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget represents an important step toward fiscal stability, continued discipline will be necessary to maintain structural balance in future years. The Ten-Year General Fund Forecast is included in the attached Draft Budget Book.

A. Proposed FY 2026/27 General Fund Budget Overview
The Proposed FY 2026/27 Operating Budget reflects a continued focus on long-term fiscal sustainability, responsible stewardship of public resources, and the preservation of essential City programs and services.

Compared to the prior year, the City has made meaningful steps toward addressing its structural deficit through a combination of revenue enhancements and significant expenditure reductions. Hence, the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget includes updated development-related user fees and multiple reductions to selected programs and services.

These proactive actions eliminated an initial starting deficit of $1.6 million, producing a balanced General Fund budget for the upcoming fiscal year. However, the expected growth of updated revenues is not anticipated to match the growth in the rate of inflation and cost increases for utilities, maintenance, insurance, personnel, and contract/professional services facing the City (as shown in the ten-year forecast). This fact necessitates further action to reduce costs or increase revenues ahead of the next fiscal year.

Presently, General Fund revenues in FY 2026/27 are projected to increase by 5.6% compared to the prior year. As mentioned above, this increase is primarily attributable to updated user fees for development-related services, which are projected to increase by 76.8% in the coming year (however, future year growth is expected to be approximately one percent based on historical fee activity). This update brings total development fee revenues to approximately $4.1 million. These updated fees better align cost recovery with the cost of providing services and reduce the extent to which General Fund resources subsidize development activity.

In addition to revenue enhancements, the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget includes approximately $987 thousand in reductions to programs and services. These reductions were necessary to balance the budget while preserving core municipal services and maintaining the City’s commitment to fiscal discipline. Although difficult, these reductions reflect a measured and proactive approach to addressing the City’s ongoing fiscal challenges. As a result of these efforts, the Proposed FY 2026/27 General Fund Budget is balanced and proposes the one-time use of fund balance in the amount of $27 thousand for the City's Hazard Mitigation Plan Update.

Despite fiscal challenges, the proposed budget continues to prioritize implementation of the City Council’s high-priority objectives and remains guided by the three overarching goals in the adopted FY 2024–2027 Strategic Plan:
• Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
• Open, Engaged and Responsive Government
• Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community

General Fund Revenues: $34.1 Million
Proposed General Fund revenues for FY 2026/27 have increased $1.8 million, or 5.6%, when compared to the prior FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget. The following are noteworthy General Fund revenue items incorporated into the proposed FY 2026/27 Operating Budget. The table below compares the prior year adopted budget to the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget, and the percent of change for next fiscal year.

Property Taxes Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY
2026/27
$6,971,047 $7,013,000

0.6%
The estimated change in the City's net taxable value of secured real property for FY 2026/27 is expected to increase 3.6% ($155 thousand). This increase is offset by decreases for unsecured and supplemental property tax rolls which will result in a net year-overyear change to all Property Tax revenue categories of 0.6%. The City uses HdL as a consultant to help monitor, audit and project this major revenue source.

Property Tax in Lieu of VLF (Vehicle License Fees) Adopted Proposed FY 25/26 FY
2026/27
This major revenue source grows at the same general pace as the $8,107,449 $8,399,320 City's net taxable value (3.6%). The City’s consultant, HdL, also assists with the projection of this significant revenue item.

3.6%
Sales Taxes Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY
2026/27
Sales tax revenue is projected to decline by $98 thousand compared to the prior year. This downward revision is primarily $6,413,700 $6,315,937

driven by updated assumptions regarding statewide and national -1.5% economic growth. The City is seeing continued declines across key sectors, including Business & Industry ($88 thousand), Fuel & Service Stations ($74 thousand), Food & Drugs ($74 thousand), and Building & Construction ($7 thousand). These decreases were offset by increases to General Consumer Goods ($84 thousand), Restaurants ($38 thousand), and online sales distributed by the County Pool ($30,000).

For the fourth quarter of 2025 (October–December), Diamond Bar experienced a 5.9% decline in sales tax revenue compared to the same quarter in 2024, ranking 78th out of 88 cities in Los Angeles County. This trend appears to reflect Diamond Bar’s unique retail composition, as at least one neighboring LA County city experienced a 3.9% increase during the same period.

Transient Occupancy Taxes Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY
2026/27
Transient Occupancy Tax is projected to increase by $90 $1,449,000 $1,539,000 thousand based on current trends.

Use of Money & Property Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY
2026/27
Investment Income – General Fund investment income is $1,249,000 $920,260 anticipated to decline $329 thousand as the City's portfolio reflects changes to the interest rate environment and Federal Open Market Committee policy. -26.3%
Rental Revenue – Revenue from rentals at the Diamond Bar Center is anticipated to increase by $52 thousand.
$1,102,500 $1,163,000

Cell tower lease revenue is projected to increase $10 thousand due to CPI adjustments for current leases.

Current Service Charges Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY
2026/27
Development Fees – Revenue from Building, Planning and $2,315,210 $4,092,688 Engineering activity is estimated to increase $1.8 million due to the recent comprehensive update to the City's User Fee Schedule which aimed to recoup the full cost of providing these services. 76.8% $618,425 $622,675

0.7%
Recreation Programs – Program revenue is projected to increase $4 thousand mainly due to Contract Classes and Athletic Programs, offset by a reduction to Youth Programs.

Gas Tax – Transfer In Adopted Proposed

2026/27
$1,435,000 $1,435,000

0.0%
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.

General Fund Expenditure Budget: $34.2 Million
Proposed recurring General Fund expenditures for FY 2026/27 have increased $1.8 million, or 5.6% when compared to the prior FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget. In addition, staff is proposing a one-time expense in the amount of $56 thousand for the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan Update, bringing total proposed expenditures to $34.2 million.

In response to declining revenues and an initial $1.6 million starting deficit, staff conducted a thorough review of all expense accounts and took deliberate steps to reduce or eliminate expenses in order to present a balanced budget for the upcoming year. As a result, $987 thousand has been reduced from the General Fund which significantly affects programs and services for the upcoming fiscal year. These reductions are in addition to $250 thousand in ongoing reductions to the FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget which reduced budgets for vehicle replacements and the parking lot slurry seal program at various parks.

Page 103 of 405 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.2
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
Notwithstanding the aforementioned reductions, the following highlighted items are presented for City Council consideration:
• Public Safety
Law Enforcement – FY 2026/27 County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) expenditures are expected to be approximately $9.1 million, representing the single largest line item and approximately 26.6% of proposed General Fund expenditures (down from 27.4%). LASD proposed expenditures reflect a net increase of $265 thousand year-over-year, inclusive of a contract rate increase of 2.3% (down from 4.37% in the prior year) plus an increased Liability Trust Fund (LTF) surcharge of 14.5% (up from 13% 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 $25,000 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.

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 2026/27 is $289,800.

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. Since last year, three large member cities have withdrawn from IVHS (Montclair, Chino, Ontario), with the City of Baldwin Park recently being added into IVHS’ service territory effective July 1, 2026. IVHS also expanded with the acquisition of the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society, which includes the cities of San Gabriel and Temple City.

While FY 2025/26 experienced a one-time cost increase of 15%, the FY 2026/27 proposed increase for IVHS Animal Control services is 3%. The gross cost for this contracted service in FY 2026/27 is anticipated to be $667,300. After accounting for estimated licensing and service fee revenues of $80,000, the proposed budget of $587,300 reflects an increase of $15,500 compared to the previous fiscal year. • Human Resources – 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). This year, staff is planning on implementing flexible staffing solutions to replace current vacant part-time positions in the Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments. These position swaps will maintain the City’s commitment to investing in optimizing service delivery while providing minimal fiscal impact in the upcoming year. Having an agile workforce able to respond to the changing needs of the community and carry out City priorities is essential. There are sufficient budgeted resources in the proposed departmental budgets; and the positions, as well as salary ranges, already exist in the City’s classification and compensation plan. Therefore, the following position swaps are requested for FY 2026/27 for a total year-one savings of $2,040.

*Assumed 3.0% COLA in years 2-5.

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-of-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 2026 was 3.6%. 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 3.6% effective with the pay period beginning June 27, 2026. 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 $432 thousand, of which $378 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. With City Council support, the department made several strategic adjustments while considering the financial challenges facing the City. These adjustments include the cancelation of the Winter Snow Fest Event, Movies in the Parks, and reductions to the Concerts in the Park series. Several programs and events offered this year to support an active and healthy community include summer youth day camp, senior activities & dances, field allocations for sports organizations, contract classes, picnic reservations, and community special events. This fiscal year will also include the Wedding and Event Expo at the DBC, which serves to promote the facility and is a mostly a cost-neutral event. Traditional special events, including the Windmill Lighting, Veterans Recognition Ceremony, and the Halloween Party, will continue to bring the community together.

Expenses for recreation programs ($2.75 million, a 0.6% decrease) and Diamond Bar Center operations ($1.81 million, a 2.8% increase) have been adjusted commensurate with anticipated activities and service level reductions for a combined budget of $4.56 million, a total increase of $32 thousand from the prior year. Total departmental revenue, including Diamond Bar Center rentals ($750 thousand, an increase of $50 thousand from the prior year) and other recreation program revenue ($622 thousand, an increase of $4 thousand from the prior year amount) is budgeted at $1.37 million for FY 2026/27.

Special Revenue Fund Highlights
• Integrated Waste Management Fund (250) – The proposed budget of $1.1 million includes a proposed line item for $180 thousand for a routine Residential and Commercial Waste Hauler Compliance Audit, a reimbursable cost paid for by the waste haulers. In addition, $21 thousand is proposed for expanded student waste reduction and recycling field trips. Additionally, the City has maintained a student environmental education program for 3rd-6th graders with Discovery Cube for several years. This program, budgeted at $40 thousand, 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 in recent years to address operating deficits and reduce General Fund subsidies to the LLADs, particularly Districts 39-2022 and 41-2021. Total General Fund contributions to all three districts for FY 2026/27 is budgeted at $149 thousand, a decrease of $126 thousand from the prior year. Budgeted resources and expenditures for all three districts for FY 2026/27 are shown below. It should be noted that some districts are utilizing fund balance for proposed operations and that the General Fund subsidy to LLAD No. 38 was reduced as part of the budget balancing strategy for FY 2026/27:

Agenda Item #: 8.2
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026

• Traffic Mitigation Fund (246) – The City receives Traffic Mitigation Funds to address transportation system impacts associated with development. Staff is recommending the establishment of a prioritized list of street improvement projects to ensure these funds are deployed strategically and transparently. The proposed budget of $350,000 will utilize interest earned on the funds to aid the City’s effort to:
o Align traffic mitigation fund expenditures with nexus and eligibility requirements o Prioritize traffic mitigation projects that best improve traffic flow and safety o Provide a clear and defensible framework for future project selection. • Tres Hermanos Fund (248) – The proposed budget of $120 thousand (an increase of $40 thousand) is for the City’s share of maintenance costs provided to the Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority. • AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Fund (251) – AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Fund (251) – The proposed budget of $74 thousand represents no change from the prior year. A total of $35,000 is being shifted from the neighborhood traffic management program (NTMP) to fund the lease of four (4) zeroemission fleet vehicles, leaving sufficient funds in the amount of $39,000 to accommodate citizen requests for traffic improvements.
• Beverage Container Recycling Grant Fund (254) – The proposed $14 thousand budget includes new recycling receptacles for business and school programs. • Hazard Mitigation Fund (256) – The proposed budget of $221 thousand is requested to updated the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan in order to remain in compliance with FEMA and State planning requirements. City staff submitted a grant application in 2025 and are awaiting FEMA’s determination. There is a corresponding request of $56,000 from the General Fund to meet the granting agency’s 25% cost-share requirement. • Park Development Fund (262) – The proposed budget of $250 thousand is for the construction of the Sycamore Canyon Park Lower Bridge Replacement project as discussed in the FY 2026/27 CIP.

Internal Service Funds 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) for FY 2026/27 will be $722 thousand, and is funded by a transfer to the Debt Service Fund from the General Fund.
• 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

Page 106 of 405 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.2
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
Property, Pollution, Crime and General Liability are anticipated to be approximately $820 thousand, which reflects a year-over-year increase of $169 thousand (26%). This amount is up from the prior year increase of $117 thousand which, at the time, represented a year-over-year increase of 22%. All funding for the SelfInsurance Fund is provided by a transfer-in from the General Fund. • Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement Fund (502) – The proposed budget of $137 thousand is recommended for necessary operations and maintenance of the citywide fleet, as well as the lease of four (4) new zero-emission electric vehicles funded by a transfer-in from the AB 2766 Fund (fund 251) in the amount of $35 thousand. The remaining budget of $102 thousand is requested to cover fuel and maintenance costs for the City’s current fleet, and is provided by a transfer-in from the General Fund. • Computer Equipment Maint. & Replacement Fund (503) – The proposed budget of $208 thousand is recommended for necessary information systems, hardware upgrades, and replacements, such as:
• Additional mobile touch screens for ELM project ($5 thousand) • (2) Multi-function Copier Replacements ($25 thousand) • (2) Firewalls ($15 thousand)
• (2) Timer Server Replacements ($18 thousand)
• Additional Tyler support for post go-live reporting ($45 thousand) Plus items carried over from the prior year:
• Phase 2 ELM System Integration with Laserfische and Financial System ($80 thousand) • New Touch-Screens for Employee Time Keeping ($20 thousand) • Building Facility & Replacement Fund (504) – Proposed revenues include a transfer-in from the General Fund in the amount of $100 thousand, per the City’s adopted fund balance policy. There are no expenses proposed for 2026/27.

Fiduciary Fund
• OPEB Trust Fund (601) – The proposed budget of $115 thousand 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.

FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program
On May 5, 2026, the City Council held a Study Session to review the recommended Draft FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Five-Year CIP. Following that discussion, the updated annual allocation for the City’s Community Development Block Grant was received and incorporated into the Area 7 ADA Curb Ramp project:

Street Improvements:
• Original CDBG Budget for Area 7 ADA Curb Ramps: $185,894 • Revised CDBG Budget for Area 7 ADA Curb Ramps: $189,734 Below is a summary of the revised Proposed FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program:

Page 107 of 405 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.2
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
The Capital Improvement Program and Five-Year CIP are included in the attached Draft Budget Book (see Attachment 1 Exhibit A "Proposed FY 2026/27 Operating and CIP Budget") .

B. FY 2026/27 Gann Appropriations Limit: $68,333,798
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: 1.0445.

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: 1.0428.

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: 0.9935 and 0.9951 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 2026/27 is the change in the City population and change in California per capita income: 1.0445. By using this growth factor, the City will have an appropriation limit of $68,333,798 for FY 2026/27. The City’s FY 2026/27 appropriations subject to the limit are $24.3 million which are found to be under the calculated appropriations limit (see Attachment 3).

C. FY 2026/27 Compensation Plan
In June 2025, the City Council adopted and amended the City of Diamond Bar Compensation Plan (Resolution No. 2025-18) effective for FY 2025/26. As discussed above in Section A, the proposed changes to the Compensation Plan for FY 2026/27 include cost-of-living adjustments and an adjustment to the standard benefit allotment, as well as replacing two vacant budgeted positions to suit operational needs (see Attachments 4 & 5).

D. FY 2026/27 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 2025, the City Council adopted the most recent Investment Policy (Resolution No. 2025-20) 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 (see Attachments 6 & 7).

CONCLUSION:

The Proposed FY 2026/27 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program reflects a disciplined and balanced approach to addressing the City’s ongoing fiscal challenges. Through updated user fees, increased General Fund revenues, and approximately $987,000 in program and service reductions, the proposed budget closes an initial $1.6 million deficit while maintaining funding for essential City operations and priority capital needs.

Page 108 of 405 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.2
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
While this represents meaningful progress, the City’s long-term forecast projects a renewed General Fund shortfall of approximately $790 thousand in FY 2027/28. As a result, continued fiscal discipline and efforts to align ongoing revenues with ongoing expenditures will remain necessary. Staff will continue working on strategies to strengthen long-term fiscal sustainability, including opportunities to enhance revenues, control costs, and evaluate service delivery priorities and will explore recommendations with the City Council in the coming months. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolutions to approve the FY 2026/27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget, along with the updated Gann Appropriations Limit, amendments to the City’s Compensation & Benefits Plan, and the FY 2026/27 Investment Policy.
