Significant Economic Trends
Nationally:
• The GDP decreased at an annual rate of 0.3 percent primarily reflecting an increase in imports, a deceleration in consumer spending, and decrease in government spending. Decreases in government spending were partly offset by increases in investment and exports. The increase in consumer spending was mostly reflected in services led by spending on health care, housing, and utilities. • The US unemployment rate has increased and remains unchanged at 4.2 percent. Employment trended up in health care, transportation and warehousing, financial activities, and social assistance while Federal government employment declined. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, health care added 51,000 jobs in April through hospitals and ambulatory health services.

The State of California:
• California is now the fourth largest economy in the world, behind the US, China, and Germany – officially overtaking Japan. Over the long term, California’s economy has had an average nominal GDP growth of 7.5 percent from 2021 to 2024. The increasing state population and record-high tourism spending makes California the nation’s top state for business starts, access to venture capital funding, manufacturing, high-tech, and agriculture. California’s unemployment rate dropped to 5.4 percent in January 2025, ultimately gaining 3,112,600 jobs since April 2020. The leading industries contributing to jobs gained are Private Education and Health Services.

City of Fontana
• Third Quarter 24/25 sales were 5% lower than the same quarter one year ago. This is primarily due to the State being behind on sales tax processing. • The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is currently paying 4.31% (daily rate) on City investments as of March 31, 2025, up from 4.23% for the same time last year. The 2-year treasury benchmark rate as of March 31, 2025, is 3.89% down from 4.59% last year.

General Fund Revenues
Revenues continue to be monitored on a monthly basis. Staff recommends a net decrease in revenues of $770,312 as part of the Third Quarter Budget Status Report. See page 32 for details of the revenue adjustments.

NOTE: Property Tax in-lieu of VLF collections are lagging due to the State’s distribution which provides for lump-sum payments in January and May. Interest revenue is received starting in October and is followed by a year-end accrual for a full twelve months of interest. A large number of Business Licenses are renewable in December. A large share of Franchise revenues is received annually in the month of April. When adjusted for these anomalies, the percent of recommended budget received is 64.14%.

The Third Quarter Budget Report recommends the following:
• $956,825 Increase to PERS Rate Stability Reserve

Fund Balance Reserves After Adjustments

Organizational Changes
Quarterly Budget Reports are routinely used to recommend organizational and/or personnel changes within a fiscal year. Upon approval, the total recurring costs for these organizational changes will be added to the department’s target numbers. The changes have been reviewed by Human Resources and comply with City personnel rules.

There are no organizational changes recommended as part of the Third Quarter Budget Status Report.

Write off of Doubtful Accounts
A review of the City’s Doubtful Accounts (bad debts) is routinely a part of the City’s Third Quarter Budget Review. The review and subsequent write off is necessary to accurately reflect the true value of City assets. The budget is not impacted by the reduction as budget revenue estimates are based on receipts rather than billings.

The following write offs consist of items that are: (1) too small to collect, and therefore not cost effective or (2) unable to locate. In many cases, these items will be referred to a collection agency for further action.

These items represent an information item for the City Council. Specific City Council action related to the write offs is not required.

The write offs are categorized by fund number, account, and dollar amount.

Account Title Account # Amount
Illegal Firework 101-1306 75,384$
Returned Checks 101-1307 7,055
Miscellaneous 101-1306 54,535
Total Write Offs 136,973$

Conclusion
The City Council has provided fiscal policy direction that has laid the foundation for the 2024/2025 Operating Budget's conservative approach to revenues and expenditures. The recommended budget changes included in the Third Quarter Budget Report continue to adhere to City Council Policy.

As stated by the City Council’s Mission Statement below, the City of Fontana embraces every opportunity to enrich the lives of those who reside in this community, and this is possible due to its committed elected leadership and the talents and ingenuity of the individuals in this community and organization.

The key is through a well-planned, long-term fiscal plan, based upon economic development that will continue to generate high paying long-term employment opportunities, bring in new and stable sales tax revenue sources, and maintaining intergovernmental relations. Though there are still great challenges ahead, the City is firmly committed to meeting each and every challenge that comes our way. “We seek and embrace every opportunity to enrich the lives of those who live, work, play and invest in the City of Fontana.” Mission Statement Adopted April 26, 2022
