This measure is a transactions and sales tax measure at a rate of three-quarter percent per dollar. Measure E was set to terminate on March 31, 2025 from the passage of Measure E. However, on November 3, 2020 the voters of the City approved Measure G. Measure G extended Measure E 8 additional years. Measure E is now set to terminate on March 31st, 2033. In the interest of transparency and accountability for expenditure of funds derived from this local sales tax a new fund (101) was set up. This allows the citizens and the City to see the benefit Measure E is adding to the community.

The River Lodge Conference Center was built in 1998 in response to a need for a regional facility that could be used for conferences, seminars, community activities, weddings and other events. The facility is located next to several hotels and restaurants that benefit from these events, which result in increased sales taxes and transient occupancy taxes for the City of Fortuna.

The Monday Club was built circa 1930 by a local women's group called "The Monday Club". It was later purchased by the Fortuna Concert Series which donated it to the City in 1999. The facility is used by the Fortuna Concert Series and other small groups for events, meetings, and gatherings.
● Manage the daily and ongoing operations of the River Lodge and Monday Club, including promotion and advertising, event coordination and maintenance and upkeep of the facilities and equipment ● Liaison with the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce and Tourism & Marketing Committee to promote events that will involve the use of River Lodge, promote tourism, and benefit the community

Debt administration centralizes the City of Fortuna’s long term debt obligations to allow for sound financial management and transparency in monitoring and reporting City debt that is used to fund large projects. Debt financing is used when paying for projects, maintenance or upgrades related to City services that cannot be financed by current revenues or would be impractical to do so. Debt service payments are budgeted and expected to be covered by current revenues each fiscal year.

Revenue Bonds can be used to finance capital projects where there is a pledge to pay the debt from a stream of revenue accruing to the City. This form of debt is used to finance facilities and improvements from lease or enterprise fund activities which generate ongoing revenues from services provided to the community.

Assessment District Bonds can be used to finance infrastructure for a limited area of the City. This particular type of debt (special assessments or special taxes) are levied against the property owners in a defined district who directly benefit from the infrastructure improvement. The City of Fortuna has used this type of debt to finance infrastructure for specific services approved by the property owners within the assessment districts.

Capital leasing can be used to acquire tangible assets where there is a pledge to pay the debt from current annual receipts and where the acquired assets can be placed under a lien until the debt obligation is paid off. The City of Fortuna has used capital leasing to acquire equipment that is necessary for efficient operations of City Business.

Debt financing not only provides cash for City projects, but spreads the cost of a project over time thereby sharing the cost burden for the project with both current and future taxpayers who will benefit from the project. Financing through debt is most appropriate for long-term investments, and allows the City to maintain its assets while building for the future. Many factors influence the cost of financing, such as the amount of current outstanding debt, the opportunity cost of borrowing and the cost of credit in the financial market. The following describes the different types of financing the City utilizes:

Introduction 1
Introduction
Fortuna, known as “The Friendly City,” was incorporated in 1906 and is a small, rural community of just over 12,000 residents and covering an area of 5.1 square miles. The City of Fortuna is governed by a Council/Manager form of government. The City Council consists of five members, elected from the City at large, who serve four-year terms. The Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tem are elected biannually by the City Council from amongst its members. The City Manager works under the direction of the City Council and is responsible for supporting the policies enacted by the City Council, as well as managing the day-to-day operations of the City.

The City of Fortuna’s mission is “To be worthy of the public trust by providing timely, efficient, well-planned, and dependable services to the community.” Part of the City’s commitment to this mission is through a well-planned Five-Year Capital Improvement Program that works to maintain and replace aging facilities as well as construct new infrastructure, as it is needed.

What is a Capital Improvement Program? A Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a multi-year planning instrument used to identify needed capital improvement projects and to coordinate the financing and timing of improvements. The primary purpose of the CIP is to assist in the orderly implementation of the broad and comprehensive goals of the adopted General Plan and for the maintenance and replacement of the City’s infrastructure by establishing an orderly basis to guide local officials in making sound budget decisions and by focusing attention on community goals, needs, and capabilities to maximize the benefit of public expenditures.

Projects may include land and buildings, park and recreation facilities, street and storm drain facilities, wastewater collection and treatment facilities, and water treatment and distribution facilities.

An effective Capital Improvement Program:

1. Identifies specific public improvement projects by location, size, function, and cost (although some types of projects, such as street resurfacing and maintenance of water and sewer facilities may be shown on an annual allocation basis).

2. Establishes the timing for funding of major cost elements related to each project, such as right-of-way acquisitions, design, construction, etc.; for large projects, these may be spread over several years, while for smaller projects, only a single budget year is involved.

3. Proposes specific revenue sources for each project.

4. Facilitates priority setting where funds are insufficient to cover all desired projects.

5. Enhances coordination of separate but interrelated projects, whether internal or involving other agencies.

6. Gives other affected agencies, such as utilities, an opportunity to develop long-range programming.

7. Tends to discourage inefficient and frequent changes in allocation of capital resources.

8. Permits an educated approach to staffing for engineering, operation, and maintenance.

City of Fortuna 2025-2026 CIP
Introduction 2
For most cities, a five-year CIP period appears to be workable and realistic. Under this guideline, it is common for the first year of the CIP to be combined into the annual budget process. In all cases, the CIP would be flexible enough to make the inevitable adjustments for unanticipated cost changes, urgent projects, or other factors. In addition, the City will be able to more clearly identify and discuss the consequences of a delay in timely project commencement due to such factors.

How are projects funded? Funding for projects is usually derived from special source funds including gas tax, water reserves, sewer reserves, remaining balances of the General Fund, or state, federal, and other grants.

Gas tax, water, and sewer fund revenues are budgeted only for capital projects in the categories appropriate to their sources.

The General Fund’s ability to make significant contributions to the CIP has been declining over the last several years by a combination of factors. The City’s General Fund has had its revenues reduced by the State budget crisis. The General Fund currently does not have the ability to finance capital improvement projects in the same way that is has done in the past.

Federal, state, and other grant funds may only be used for the purpose for which the funds were received.

Although this CIP falls short of funding the optimum level of infrastructure improvements, it does represent an effort to use all available funding sources for the most vital projects.

Project priorities should be established by:

1. Projects with a clear issue of public health and safety.

2. Projects which trigger irreversible or serious long-range consequences.

3. Projects that eliminate liabilities experienced in the past.

4. Projects mandated by county, state and/or federal laws, the public and other agencies.

5. Projects directly related to established goals or objectives.

6. Projects directly affecting the quality of life for residents of the City of Fortuna.

Every effort is made to ensure that all projects are described accurately and have sound cost estimates. Some projects are conceptual in nature and these cost estimates are difficult to generate and should be considered flexible.

Estimates are initially made for every project in 2025 dollars. As priorities for construction are assigned for each project, the dollar amount is updated to more accurately reflect costs within the proposed year of construction. The estimates are general with the intent that they should be revised as they are brought into the annual budget process.

The projects identified in this 2025-2030 CIP are considered essential to implement goals, protect public property from deterioration and extending its useful life, and preserve the City’s prior infrastructure investments.

Water Meter and Radio Changeout Project CIP# 9129
Description
Replace old “SR1” style radios with newer “SR2” style
radios.

Justification
When reading meters the SR1 radios require a closer
approach to the equipment than the
newer SR2 radios. This requires the operator to drive slowly up each alley in the city, adding several hours to the meter reading process. The older radios are also reaching the end of life, and some are requiring multiple attempts to read.

L Street provides vehicles another path of travel for vehicles generally accessing Main Street. L Street sees higher volume of traffic and pedestrians during special events when Main Street is closed to through traffic.

Anticipated Project Description
Newburg Road, at various locations. In late 2023, staff are planning for a grind and inlay repair of Newburg Road in between Newburg Park and Elizabeth Barcus Way. Additionally, staff are planning a repair of approximately 700-feet in length along Newburg Road, generally in between the Gene Lucas Center and Nelson Lane.

Anticipated Project Description
Kenmar Road near the Kenmar Interchange and Ross Hill Road Intersection. This area, specifically the lanes travelling westbound into town, require rehabilitation to deal with what have become routine annual failures in the asphalt. Staff anticipate performing this pavement restoration in late 2023.

Generators for Park 5, Firemen’s Pavilion and Museum Project CIP# TBD Description
A generator that would have the ability to
power the Firemen’s Pavilion, the Rohner
Rec Hall, the Parks & Recreation Office,
and the Depot Museum. All facilities are
in-line and could be powered by one
generator, in case of a power outage.

Currently staff have identified a generator
that is no longer in use in the City’s water
system, and are planning to determine what
steps are required to connect this generator
at the parks facilities.

Justification
Currently, if a power-outage occurs, all
electrical to these facilities ceases to be available. This makes it difficult for, not only City staff to be able to work efficiently on projects that require electricity, but for facility renters and park users who have access to these facilities,
which can result in lost staff time, and lost
revenue from facilities having to be closed due to no power.
