data recovery program activities must be concluded to the satisfaction of the City.

CUL-8 As specified by California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, if human remains are found on the project site during construction or during archaeological work, the person responsible for the excavation, or his or her authorized representative, shall immediately notify the San Diego County Coroner’s office.

Determination of whether the remains are human shall be conducted on-site and in situ where they were discovered by a forensic anthropologist, unless the forensic anthropologist and the Native American monitor agree to remove the remains to an off-site location for examination. No further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition. A temporary construction exclusion zone shall be established surrounding the area of the discovery so that the area would be protected, and consultation and treatment could occur as prescribed by law. In the event that the remains are determined to be of Native American origin, the Most Likely Descendant, as identified by the Native American Heritage Commission, shall be contacted in order to determine proper treatment and disposition of the remains in accordance with California Public Resources Code section 5097.98. The Native American remains shall be kept in-situ, or in a secure location in close proximity to where they were found, and the analysis of the remains shall only occur on-site in the presence of a Native American monitor.

CUL-9 If the qualified archaeologist elects to collect any archaeological materials that qualify as tribal cultural resources, the Native American monitor(s) must be present during any testing or cataloging of those resources. Moreover, if the qualified archaeologist does not collect the archaeological materials that qualify as tribal cultural resources that are unearthed during the ground disturbing activities, the Native American monitor(s), may at their discretion, collect said resources and provide them to the TCA Tribe for respectful and dignified treatment in accordance with the Tribe’s cultural and spiritual traditions. The project archaeologist shall document evidence that all cultural materials have been curated and/or repatriated as follows:
1) It is the preference of the City that all tribal cultural resources be repatriated to the TCA Tribe as such preference would be the most culturally sensitive, appropriate, and dignified. Therefore, any tribal cultural resources collected by the qualified archaeologist shall be provided to the TCA Tribe. Evidence that all cultural materials collected have been repatriated shall be in the form of a letter from the TCA Tribe to whom the tribal cultural resources have been repatriated identifying that the archaeological materials have been received.

OR
2) Any tribal cultural resources collected by the qualified archaeologist shall be curated with its associated records at a San Diego curation facility or a

The collection and associated records, including title, shall be transferred to the San Diego curation facility or culturally affiliated Tribal curation facility and shall be accompanied by payment of the fees necessary for permanent curation.

Evidence that all cultural materials collected have been curated shall be in the form of a letter from the curation facility stating the prehistoric archaeological materials have been received and that all fees have been paid.

CUL-10 Prior to the release of the grading bond, a monitoring report and/or evaluation report, if appropriate, which describes the results, analysis and conclusion of the archaeological monitoring program and any data recovery program on the project site shall be submitted by the qualified archaeologist to the City. The Native American monitor shall be responsible for providing any notes or comments to the qualified archaeologist in a timely manner to be submitted with the report. The report will include California Department of Parks and Recreation Primary and Archaeological Site Forms for any newly discovered resources.

GEO-1 Prior to issuance of a grading permit or ground disturbing activities, a preliminary assessment by a professional paleontological resource consultant shall be conducted to determine if the characteristics of a unique paleontological resource or site are present. If determined to be present, and the potential for destruction of a unique paleontological resource or site exists, the preliminary assessment must make recommendations for mitigating potential impacts, such as monitoring during construction, or identify requirements for the proper documentation per state or federal guidelines, of any significant resource proposed to be impacted.

NOI-1 To reduce potential construction noise impac ts, the following multi-part mitigation shall be implemented for the proposed project:
x The construction contractor shall ensure that all equipment driven by internal combustion engines shall be equipped with mufflers, which are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment.
x The construction contractor shall ensure that unnecessary idling of internal engines (i.e., idling in excess of 5 minutes) is prohibited. x The construction contractor shall utilize “quiet” models of air compressors and other stationary noise sources where technology exists. x At all times during proposed project grading and construction, the construction contractor shall ensure that stationary noise- generating equipment shall be located as far as practicable from sensitive receptors and placed so that emitted noise is directed away from the nearest residential land uses.

COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT USER FEE UPDATE

DEPARTMENT
Community Services

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council receive and file the Community Services Department User Fee update.

Staff Recommendation: Receive and File (Community Services: Joseph Goulart, Director of Public Works)
Presenter: Robert Rhoades, Assistant Director of Community Services ESSENTIAL SERVICE – No
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Build Trust and Accountability; Financial Stewardship

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Community Services Department revenue has increased steadily, rising from $948,225 in Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2020 to $1, 936,704 in FY2025, excluding revenues generated through contract agreements with the Escondido Union School District for Before and After School Program services. This growth reflects both program expansion and incremental fee adjustments over the period.

In July 2024, the City Council directed the Community Services Department to adjust rental fees to achieve full cost recovery and to align program fees with top‑of‑market rates, or to increase fees by 10 percent in cases where comparable market data was unavailab le. These fee adjustments were implemented with the fall 2024 registration season.

Despite these changes, revenue increased modestly by approximately 4 percent, or $72,675, compared to the prior fiscal year. Several factors likely contributed to this limit ed increase, including: existing fees that were already near top ‑of‑market levels; decreased participation associated with price sensitivity among users; partial ‑year implementation of the updated fee structure; and prevailing economic conditions, including rising costs of living. Recreational programming is often considered a discretionary service, which can affect enrollment as households prioritize essential needs such as food, housing, and health and safety expenditures.
159
Item9.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On July 10, 2024 , the City Council approved a comprehensive update to the Community Services Department fee schedule. The approved action transitioned facility rental fees to a full cost ‑recovery model and adjusted recreation program fees to align with top ‑of‑market rates . In instances where comparable market data was unavailable, a 10 percent fee increase was applied.

As part of the approval, the City Council directed staff to return in the second year of implementation to provide an update on the impacts of the revised fee structure.

BACKGROUND
Following City Council approval of the comprehensive fee update, the Community Services Department implemented adjustments to both program and facility fees to better reflect the true cost of service delivery. To ensure a smooth tr ansition and provide adequate notice to affected stakeholders, staff initiated a 60-day notification period for rental groups and service providers prior to implementation.

The updated fee schedule became effective with the launch of the Fall 2024 registra tion period. While these adjustments moved the Department closer to a cost -recovery framework, overall revenue growth has remained modest. Total Community Services revenue, excluding contract agreements, increased by $72,675, or approximately 4 percent, rising from $1.85 million in FY 2024 to $1.93 million in FY 2025.

Cost Recovery Framework
Cost recovery is a guiding financial policy intended to balance fiscal sustainability with community access, equity, and public benefit. There is no single standardiz ed methodology for calculating cost recovery across parks and recreation agencies. Practices vary widely by jurisdiction and are influenced by policy priorities, accounting methods, labor allocation models, and service philosophies. As a result, cost recovery percentages should be viewed as comparative indicators rather than definitive measures of efficiency or effectiveness.

Council has established a clear pricing direction that distinguishes between service types. Facility rentals are intended to achieve direct cost recovery, ensuring that users fully cover the operational costs associated with exclusive use of City facilities. Programs and activities, by contrast, are generally priced at the top of the local market, reflecting demand, comparisons with neighboring agencies, and the ability of these offerings to offset a larger share of service costs. Together, these pricing strategies reduce reliance on the general fund. These fees help offset the cost of delivering community services, but they don’t replace general fund support entirely.

Nationally, park and recreation departments recover an average of approximately 27.2 percent of costs through user fees. Escondido’s average cost recovery rate is approximately 44.8 percent, reflecting 160
Item9.

Council’s fiscal poli cy direction to reduce reliance on the General Fund while maintaining access to services.

Revenue Categories
Community Services Department revenue is generated across five categories: Programs and Activities, Park and Facility Rentals, Permit Fees, Administrative Fees, and Donations/Advertising.

In Fiscal Year ( “FY”) 2024/25, Programs and Activities represented the largest share of departmental revenue, accounting for 60.3 percent of total revenues. This was followed by Park and Facility Rentals at

30.0%, Administrative Fees at 6.6 percent, Permit Fees at 2.3 percent, and Donations/Advertising at 0.83 percent. Overall, the relative distribution of revenue across these categories has remained generally consistent over the past five fiscal years, as shown below.

Revenue Category Avg FY2025 FY2024 FY2023 FY2022 FY2021 Programs and Activities 57.4 60.3 62.8 57.7 53.4 49.8
Park/Facility Rentals 35.3 30.0 29.1 34.0 38.5 43.2
Permit Fees 0.42 2.3 1.78 1.68 1.81 0.65
Administrative Fees 6.0 6.6 5.1 5.4 4.8 5.1
Donations/Advertising 1.21 0.83 1.23 1.24 1.51 1.19
Expressed in percentages
The data reflects a gradual shift toward greater reliance on program participation revenue, consistent with Council direction to align program fees with market rates, while facility rental revenue has declined proportionally as a share of total revenues. Smaller revenue categories (permit fees, administrative fees, and donations/advertising) have remained relatively stable and continue to represent a limited portion of overall departmental funding.

Scope of Control
Approximately 65 percent of user fee outcomes are influenced directly by City policy decisions, including pricing philosophy, cost recovery targets, and subsidy decisions. The remaining 35 percent are constrained by external factors such as:
 Independent contractor pricing (approximately 25 percent of total revenue)  Pass-through costs
 Market demand and discretionary spending trends
This distinction helps explain why programs responded differently to the fee changes.

Program Impacts
The FY2025 user fee data demonstrates that program participation and revenue responded differently across service areas following the implementation of the updated fee schedule. Outcomes varied based 161
Item9.

on program type, target audience, market demand, and price sensitivity, underscoring that fee adjustments do not affect all programs uniformly.

Several programs showed strong performance despite fee increases, indicating that factors such as access, availability, and regional demand can outweigh pricing effects. Some aquatics programs provide a clear example. Open Swim participation increased by 52 percent (+492), driven in part by expanded availability and consistent demand for recreational swim opportunities. Lap Swim participation increased by 44 percent (+790), following membership pricing adjustments that improved flexibility for frequent users.

Similarly, Adult Hockey revenue increased by 20 percent (+$32,514), reflecting sustained regional demand for specialized programming following the closure of a regional program , while Open Gym participation increased by 6 percent (+343), suggesting that low ‑barrier, drop‑in activities remain resilient even with modest fee changes.

At the same time, other programs experienced participation declines that appear closely linked to price sensitivity, capacity constraints, or broader participation trends. Learn‑to‑Swim participation declined by 12 percent, representing a reduction of 972 participants. The move toward top‑of‑market rates coincided with a noticeable decline in enrollment, particularly among families with younger children. With drowning as the leading cause of accidental death among young children, participation in swim lessons significantly reduces that risk by 88% according to the American Red Cross. This raises an important consideration, for safety-related programs like Learn‑to‑Swim, should pricing be structured to prioritize broad participation and access, rather than relying on top of market pricing models that may limit enrollment? Youth sports programs also demonstrated mixed outcomes. Youth Soccer for ages 3 –4 declined by 10 percent (-40), suggesting sensitivity among introductory ‑level participants, where cost, scheduling, and developmental readiness all play a role in enrollment decisions. Camps experienced an overall 4 percent (-18) decline, not primarily due to pricing, but rather due to staffing capacity limitations that reduced the number of available slots during peak periods.

The Skate Park program experienced a 72 percent decrease in participation (-679), driven by shifting usage patterns and evolving trends in informal free recreation among youth. This decline highlights the challenge of applying traditional fee models to largely informal and drop‑in recreational uses.

Overall, the combined program data indicates that programs with broad appeal, flexible participation options, or strong regional demand performed well, even under increased fee structures. In contrast, programs serving younger children, families, seniors, or highly p rice‑sensitive users were more affected, particularly where increased fees coincided with limited alternatives or reduced perceived value.

Park and Facility Rentals
FY2025 park and facility rental data reflects a mixed but informative set of outcomes following the implementation of updated rental rates. Overall, park and facility rental revenue increased by 162
Item9.

approximately 7.7 percent ($41,751), indicating improved cost recovery and stronger performance in several key rental categories. At the same time, utilization patterns varied significantly by facility type, revealing areas where pricing or market conditions may be limiting access or demand.

Several rental assets performed strongly under the revised fee structure. Athletic field rentals increased by 171 percent ($20,150), driven by sustained demand from organized sports groups. Picnic area rentals increased by 13 percent ($6,873). The Sports Center hockey rinks experienced a 68 percent increase ($22,471) in revenue, reflecting continued regional demand for specialized facilities and strong utilization during peak hours.

Other facilities demonstrated more complex outcomes. At the Sports Center soccer arena, overall rental revenue declined; however, this decrease was accompanied by expanded access and increased availability for a broader range of users. While this adjustment resulted in lower short ‑term revenue, it improved scheduling flexibility and community access, positioning the facility for potential long‑term growth.

Conversely, several facilities experienced declines in both revenue and usage that warrant further evaluation. The Park Avenue Community Center saw an 11 percent decrease ($3,086) in revenue, a 33 percent (-313) reduction in rental hours, and a 66 percent decrease in the number of rente rs. Feedback indicates that sharp rate increases disproportionately affected small, recurring community groups , particularly senior‑focused organizations, resulting in nonrenewed use.

City pool rentals declined by approximately 10 percent ($8,062), reflecting decreased competition for pool time with City programming and staffing constraints. Tennis court rentals experienced a 45 percent (-943) reduction in hourly usage, suggesting pricing sensitivity. Use of the Kit Carson Park Amphitheater remained limited, with most activity attributed to a single seasonal renter, highlighting ongoing challenges in attracting diverse users to performance‑based facilities.

Taken together, these outcomes suggest that facility type, user base, and duration of use significantl y influence price sensitivity. Facilities serving competitive or organized users performed well under a cost‑recovery model, while facilities relied upon by smaller, recurring community groups demonstrated greater sensitivity to rate increases. These findi ngs reinforce the need for a differentiated rental pricing strategy that maintains cost recovery goals while preserving access to community‑serving facilities.

Future Considerations
Based on revenue performance, participation trends, and community feedback following implementation of the 2024 fee update, staff recommends the following four core focus areas to guide operational decisions. Collectively, these recommendations are intended to balance fiscal sustainability with affordability, access, and responsiveness to community behavior.

163
Item9.

1. Learn-to-Swim Pricing:

A targeted fee adjustment for Learn -to-Swim programming that reduces fees to market median to encourage participation for this vital life safety skill.

2. Price Sensitive Programming:

Allow staff to review market pricing and reduce fees if a fee increase causes participation or usage to drop by more than 25 percent.

3. Senior Center Discount Pricing:

Offer a 50 percent discount at the Park Avenue Community Center for groups where all members are age 60 or older to encourage use during designated times.

4. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) Considerations:

CPI adjustments for rental facilities in Fiscal Year 2028. An additional year of data and evaluation may be required prior to implementation.

Summary
The FY2025 data demonstrates that user fee adjustments succeeded in improving cost recovery and revenue stability; however, participation and utilization outcomes varied significantly. The results underscore the importance of a flexible, data -informed pricing framework t hat balances fiscal responsibility with equitable access and community benefit.

SUBJECT

ADOPTION OF AMENDED FUND BALANCE AND RESERVE POLICY

DEPARTMENT
Finance

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-85 modifying the City of Escondido Fund Balance and Reserve Policy.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Finance: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance) Presenter: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – No
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Financial Stewardship

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact.

PREVIOUS ACTION
The fund balance policy was adopted by the City Council on May 25, 2011 by Resolution No. 2011-56 and subsequently amended by Resolution No. 2015-215. On February 14, 20 18, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-11 authorizing the establishment of a Section 115 Pension Trust Fund.

BACKGROUND
In March 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) issued its Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions with the intent of improving financial reporting by providing fund balance categories that will be more easily understood. Part of the City’s implementation of this statement in FY2010/11 was the formal adoption of a fund balance policy. The policy explains the five components of fund balance and gives the City Council, as the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, the authority to commit fund balance for specific purposes. The policy sets restrictions for spending committed funds and requires that a method for replenishment of fund balance be established as funds are spent.
172
Item10.

In FY2015/16 as part of the City Council Action Plan for Fiscal Management, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2015-215 to amend the Fund Balance poli cy to establish a General Fund target Reserve balance of 25% of General Fund operating revenues in order to maintain adequate levels of fund balance.

This goal is based on a ri sk-based analysis as recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association (“GFOA”) to mitigate current and future risks, adequately provide for cash flow requirements, and to fund one-time unanticipated expenditure requirements.

On February 14, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-11 authorizing the establishment of a Section 115 Pension Trust Fund. The Trust Fund was established to set aside and hold money to meet future pension liabilities. The source of funding for the City of Escondido’s Section 115 Trust is one-time resources from the General Fund.

The proposed changes to the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy (Exhibit “A” of Resolution No. 2026-85) include the following:
 Incorporates the Section 115 Pension Trust Fund as a reserve balance of the General Fund  Establishes a commitment of fund balance for a Paramedic Services Capital Fund to fund the timely replacement of vehicles and equipment for paramedic services. Funding is provided by the revenue generated by the Public Provider Ground Emergency Transportation Inter-Governmental Transfer (PP -GEMT-IGT) program net of administrative expenses. The transfer of committed funds will be calculated annually at the close of each fiscal year.  Establishes an operating reserve balance of no less than two months (16.67%) of annual operating expenditures for the Measure I Local District Tax Fund.

SUBJECT: FUND BALANCE AND RESERVE POLICY

PURPOSE:

 Restricted fund balance: externally enforceable limitations on use such as debt cove nants, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments.  Committed fund balance: constrained to specific purposes by a formal action of the City Council such as an ordinance or resolution.
 Assigned fund balance: limited to the Counc il’s intent to be used for a specific purpose, but not restricted or committed such as economic stabilization or for continuing appropriations.  Unassigned fund balance: residual balance not classified in any of the above categories.

Unassigned amounts are available for any purposes with City Council approval.

The first two components listed above are not addressed in this policy due to the nature of their restrictions.

An example of nonspendable fund balance is inventory. Restricted fund balance is eit her imposed by law or constrained by grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments. This policy is focused on financial reporting of unrestricted fund balance, or the last three components listed above. These three components are further defined below.

Policy
Committed Fund Balance
The City Council, as the City’s highest level of decision -making authority, may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as an ordinance or resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used f or any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment, such as by ordinance or resolution. The City Council may, by the affirming vote of three members, change the amount of the commitments.

Reserves will be evaluated annually in conjunction with the development of the City’s annual operating budget process. Staff will report to City Council annually on the status of the reserve levels relative to this policy. When Reserve Funds are used , the method for replenishing deficiencies , including the source of funding and time period for replenishment to occur, will be defined in the resolution.

The following will be classified as committed fund balance.

General Fund Reserve
The General Fund is the main operating fund that pays for general services provided by the City, such as public safety, parks, community services, and development services. The General Fund accounts for all general revenues of the City and for expenditures related to the delivery of the City’s general services.

The City Council has established a target Reserve balance of 25 percent of budgeted General Fund operating revenues. The target reserve balance was established using a Risk Based Analysis methodology recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association ( “GFOA”), an international organization that promotes the professional management of governments for public interest.

The General Fund Reserve includes a Pension Rate Smoothing Fund. The Section 115 Pension Trust Fund was established by Resolution No. 2018 -11 to set aside and hold money to meet future pension liabilities and has been funded with transfers of available funds from the General Fund.

The Reserve balances were established to maintain adequate levels of fund balance to mitigate current and future risks, provide economic relief during recessionary cycles and/or CalPERS rate increases that are significantly above anticipated projected empl oyee rate increases, and to adequately provide for cash flow requirements and contingencies for unseen operating or capital needs of the City.

The Reserve balance is available to fund one -time unanticipated expenditure requirements, local disasters, or when actual revenue received is less than the amount budgeted resulting in an operating deficit in the General Fund.

Paramedic Services Capital Fund
A Paramedic Services Capital Fund has been established to fund the timely replacement of vehicles and equipment for paramedic services. Funding is to be provided by the revenue generated by the Public Provider Ground Emergency Transportation Inter -Governmental Transfer (PP -GEMT- IGT) program net of administrative expenses. The transfer of committed funds will be calculated annually at the close of each fiscal year.

Measure I Local District Tax Fund
The Measure I Local District Tax Fund was established to account for the revenues and expenses from the Measure I local transaction and use tax adopted by v oters in November 2024. The Government Finance Officers Association recommends that general -purpose governments maintain operating reserves of no less than two months (16.67%) of annual operating expenditures. The City has established an Operating Reserve in the Measure I Local District Tax Fund to mitigate financial and service delivery risk due to unexpected revenue shortfalls or unanticipated critical expenditures. In addition, at the end of each fiscal year, if it is determined there is an operating surplus, it is the City Council direction to commit those funds for future capital and City Council initiatives. The Measure I Local District Tax Committed Funds can be utilized as a funding source with the affirming vote of three City Council members.

Assigned Fund Balance
Amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed, should be reported as assigned fund balance. This policy hereby delegates the authority to assign amounts t o be used for specific purposes to the Director of Finance for the purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements. Examples of assigned fund balance include:

176
Item10.

Resolution No. 2026-85
Exhibit “A”

Page 3 of 3 ends

 Continuing Appropriations: Fund balance levels must be sufficient to mee t funding requirements for projects and commitments approved in prior years and which must be carried forward into the new fiscal year.

 Debt Service: Established to provide for future debt service obligations

Unassigned Fund Balance
Unassigned fund balance is the residual positive net resources of the General Fund in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories . Since a surplus of unassigned fund balance does not represent a recurring source of revenue, it shall not be used to fund a recurring expense; however, the surplus may be appropriated for use to fund a one-time expenditure or use not already funded through an appropriation. If it is determined there is an operating surplus, the City Council may appro priate funds for the following non-recurring purposes:
 Surplus funds may be used to meet the minimum General Fund Operating Reserve requirement;  Surplus funds may be transferred to the Section 115 Pension Trust Fund; and  Surplus funds may be used to set aside funding for capital improvements and equipment purchases that are not financed with borrowings or other contributions.

Fund Balance Classification
The accounting policies of the City consider restricted fund balance to have been spent first when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance are available.

Similarly, when an expenditure is incurred fo r purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted classifications of fund balance could be used, the City considers committed amounts to be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts and then unassigned amounts. 177

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Preliminary FY2026/27 Annual Operating Budget document can be viewed on the City’s website at:
https://www.escondido.gov/361/Current-Budget-Information

PREVIOUS ACTION
The preliminary FY2025/26 Operating Budget was presented to the City Council on May 22, 2025. The City Council approved the Operating Budget for FY2025/26 on June 18, 2025.

BACKGROUND
The City’s annual budget process begins around December each yea r with an update of the budgetary forecast and the General Fund Multi-Year Financial Plan. The financial forecast takes a look forward at the City’s General Fund revenues and expenditures. The purpose of the forecast is to identify financial trends, shortfalls, and potential issues so the City can proactively address them. The forecast provi des a 178
Item11.

snapshot of what the future will look like, projecting the fiscal result of maintaining the City’s current service levels and policies.

Operating revenue has not kept pace with the growing costs of providing City services, and as a result the General Fund long-term financial plan has projected annual deficits creating a structural budget deficit .

To address this projected shortfall, the City has maintained a hardline on expenditures and staff are continuously seeking measures that ensure efficiency, while enhancing basic operations. In addition, the City has controlled costs by annually deferring maintenance and capital project costs . Since FY2023/24, the City has used more than $8 million in reserves depleting Internal Service Fund balances and deferred major capital purchases to future years. In FY2024/25, 10 full-time vacant positions were eliminated and both the Library and California Center for the Arts were removed from the General Fund and were funded with American Rescue Plan Act Funds, a one-time source of funds that expire on December 31, 2026.

Revenue-generating opportunities have been explored and some fully implemented with the approval of the City Council. This includes the approval of a short-term rental program, joining the paramedic Ground Emergency Medical Transportation Program, and moving the User Fee schedule to full cost recovery effective September 2024.

Despite all of these measures, and the City’s efforts to fund projects with grants and other sources of one- time funds, it has not been enough to meet growing costs and demand for services. However, the citizens of Escondido have given the city an opportunity to address the ongoing budget deficit and preserve programs and services with their approval of Measure I.

In the November 2024 election, a citizens group was successful in placing Measure I on the ballot which voters approved with 61.12% in favor. Measure I is a one -cent general sales tax that increases the sales tax rate in Escondido from 7.75% to 8.75% and has a 20-year sunset. While the Measure I Local District Tax generates revenue for general government use, the City Council recognized the importance of honoring the priorities communicate d in the ballot language and approved by voters by adopt ing Resolution No. 2015-142 on October 22, 2025. The ballot language specifically identified six priority areas for the use of Measure I revenues:
 Providing public safety
 Addressing homelessness
 Improving streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure
 Increasing police, fire, and paramedic services
 Reducing traffic congestion
 Maintaining parks, trails, and open space

179
Item11.

Utilizing both Measure I Local District Tax and General Fund revenues, the FY2025/26 Operating Budget provided resources for those essential services identified in the ballot language in addition to City Council priorities by adding 30 new staff positions, restoring 6 staff positions, funded operational costs from Police, Fire, and Street Maintenance to ensure the continuity of those services, funded one -item investments of critical police and fire vehicles, and funded high priority open space and citywide deferred maintenance.

FY2026/27 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET
During the preliminary operating budget workshop, staff will present the steps taken for FY2026/27 to address the General Fund budget deficit while preserving current programs and services. Staff will also present recommendations for continued investments from Measure I funds to address the essential city services identified in the Measure I ballot language.

LETTER IN SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY BILL 1857 – THE GROCERY STORES ACCESS ACT

DEPARTMENT
City Clerk’s Office

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council approve sending a letter to the California State Assembly in Support of AB 1857.

Staff Recommendation: None (City Clerk’s Office: Zack Beck, City Clerk) Presenter: Zack Beck, City Clerk

BACKGROUND
At the May 6, 2026 City Council meeting, Councilmember Consuelo Martinez and Mayor Dane White requested that this item be placed on a future agenda for Council consideration.

Assembly Bill 1857 (“AB 1857”) , the Grocery Store Access Act, was introduced by Assembly Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry. AB 1857 addresses the use of restrictive covenants in connection with grocery store properties.

Restrictive covenants are use restrictions written into deeds, leases, and other land use agreements. In some cases, a grocery opera tor that closes or relocates leaves behind a covenant that prohibits the property from being used as a grocery store by any future occupant, in some cases for a period of fifteen to fifty years. As a result, a commercial site that is well suited to serve a neighborhood may remain vacant or underused for an extended period, even when another grocer is prepared to occupy it.

AB 1857 would prohibit grocery stores from using restrictive covenants that prevent a property from being used as a grocery store, and it would render existing covenants of this kind void and unenforceable. The bill is sponsored by the California Food and Farming Network and Economic Security California Action, and it is supported by a coalition of food banks and food access organizations across the state.

The availability of accessible, affordable, and healthy food is a matter of shared community interest.

Statewide, nearly three million low -income residents live in areas that lack consistent access to a full - service grocery store. Where r esidents cannot reach a grocery store, they often rely on smaller outlets that carry fewer healthy options at higher prices, a pattern that is associated over time with higher rates of diet-related illness.
183
Item13.

Restrictive covenants that bar future grocery use can work against several established City interests. They reduce competition among food retailers, they discourage the productive reuse of vacant commercial property, and they limit the ability of neighborhoods to attract the services residents want. AB 1 857 is narrow in scope. It does not direct a property owner toward any particular use of a parcel. It removes a specific contractual restriction that prevents willing grocers from serving willing customers.

A position of support is consistent with the City 's interest in a strong local economy, the productive use of commercial property, and the wellbeing of Escondido residents and families. The matter is one on which support may be found across the political spectrum, as it advances both market competition a nd public health.

RE: Assembly Bill 1857 (Aguiar-Curry), The Grocery Store Access Act. Notice of Support.

Dear Honorable Members of the California State Legislature:

On behalf of the City Council of the City of Escondido, we write to express our strong support for Assembly Bill 1857, the Grocery Store Access Act. This measure addresses a practical and often overlooked barrier to food access, and it does so in a way that is fair, narrowly drawn, and respectful of a healthy and competitive marketplace.

Restrictive covenants are use restrictions written into deeds, leases, and other land use agreements.

In some instances, a grocery operator that closes or relocates will leave behind a covenant that prohibits the property from being used as a grocery store by any future occupant, in some cases for a period of fifteen to fifty years. When this occurs, a storefront that is well suited to serve a neighborhood can sit vacant or underused for years, even when another grocer is ready and willing to move in. The result is reduced competition, diminished value for commercial property, and fewer choices for the families who live nearby.

The consequences of these restrictions fall most heavily on residents who already have the fewest options. Nearly three million low-income Californians live in food deserts, which are areas where residents lack consistent access to affordable and healthy food because no grocery store or supermarket is located nearby. When residents cannot reach a full-service grocery store, they often must rely on smaller outlets that carry fewer healthy items at higher prices. Over time, limited access to nutritious and affordable food is associated with higher rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and premature death. These outcomes place real strain on families, on employers, and on local health systems.

Assembly Bill 1857 offers a measured and sensible remedy. The bill would prohibit grocery stores from using restrictive covenants that prevent a property from being used as a grocery store, and it would render existing covenants of this kind void and unenforceable. The bill is narrow in scope. It does not direct a property owner toward any particular use of a parcel. It simply removes an artificial restriction that keeps willing grocers from serving willing customers. In doing so, it strengthens competition, encourages the productive use of commercial property, and gives communities a fairer opportunity to attract the food retailers they need.

The City of Escondido is committed to the wellbeing of its residents and to a strong local economy in which commercial properties are put to good use and families can find affordable, healthy food close to home. Assembly Bill 1857 supports both of these priorities. It rests on sound economic principle, it 1 Attachment "1"
185
Item13.

advances public health, and it restores to communities a measure of local opportunity that restrictive covenants have long withheld.

For these reasons, the Escondido City Council respectfully supports Assembly Bill 1857. We commend you for your leadership on this important issue, and we welcome the opportunity to assist as the bill moves through the legislative process.

Respectfully,

Dane White
Mayor of Escondido
