Hello, this is Matthew Colter calling for public comment City Council meeting and I'm doing it while Robin's doing hers because she is just so vile to listen to her sales pitch for a commercial operation I'd like to start out with the Olympia Creek destruction there at the corner of Seton Way and Idaho, Maryland That road that wasn't even planned or designed was just kind of punched in there and drove the heavy equipment right through the creek This is violations of state and federal law for our waterways, and the city just doesn't really seem to care that much about it, and that's very, very disappointing because we all drink water as far as I know, I haven't met anyone that doesn't. Oh, and is the mayor doing her five days for her DUI right now, is that why she's not there? I'm just kind of curious. The illegal dumping along Wolf Creek at the corner of Railroad Avenue was new in the last two days. A big pile of

Item # 1.
2 illegal material there. The projects that the city is doing, like the skate park, the masticating, the Sherwin Williams project, South Auburn Street, the dust is really unbearable. And being that we are basically living on top of the Superfund site, we should be very careful about what we put into the air. And as well as the work that's going on on South Auburn Street, a lot of raw materials going down the drains, washed down the drains, the concrete cutting and such. No new bike lanes on the new paved part of Bennett Street that Tim and Bjorn said when they did the paving they were going to put in some sharos and some bike lanes and stuff and the painting's done as far as I know and there's nothing there, bicycles or pedestrians or anything. Pretty bizarre. I'd like to take number four off the consent calendar and comment on that on a separate note. I'll call back separately on that. Thank you.

Hi, this is Matthew Colter commenting of City Council meeting on the What are you calling at the capital improvement for project list and budgets? That was a bizarre presentation. It didn't mention Any of the six project areas, but I will speak to the peanut-shaped roundabout I was the only civilian in the meeting With Caltrans when I was first introduced the other person in the meeting was on actin from freed who now works for disabled advocate groups in Sacramento out of the state Capitol.

Both Tim and Caltrans were baffled that people had questions about pedestrian access, which was super disappointing. I understand Caltrans, they deal with car stuff. They're not really into the bicycle and the walking stuff. They're trying to be more, they're putting more money into it, and that's surely because of the number of deaths. That's the only thing that's motivated them to change their attitudes towards

Item # 1.
4 cyclists and pedestrians. Now the city needs to catch up with that attitude and realize that there's a lot of people walking around and more people would walk around. And when you walk around you have a lot better attitude about a city because you're able to see the idiosyncrasies of it, good, bad, indifferent, and see the different things that make that city what it is and unique. By driving through the city it's driving through any city. You're going to have to watch out for the traffic, you're going to have to watch out for the potholes, and you have to watch out for unfamiliar things. So you're really going to miss out on what you're trying to be there to see in the first place. So the more people we can get out on bicycles on foot would be really nice to see because with the electric bike movement, there are just so many people of all ages out on bicycles. Unfortunately, a 13-year-old girl was in Tahoe on an electric bike just a few days ago. And these things happen because our infrastructure isn't really set up for sharing our areas. It's basically the largest vehicle wins and that's how it works. Now for me to walk from my house to Safeway, which I do on a daily basis for groceries, with the current design I'll have to cross the Pnet five times. Right now I have three intersections to cross instead of five. So for pedestrians it's actually worse. Thank you.

Yes, I don't support Howard and Peggy. Peg's been gone for quite a while. Howard remarried and he's a total fake and phony. That's my opinion of Howard and what I know of him. I'm calling on the number four, the landscaping assessment. And I would like the city council to drive up whispering pines, for example, look at the medium in the street that we're Charging folks for this landscaping and see the dead trees now these trees have been dead this year last year the year before they've been dead for as like Five ten years and they're still there and you're charging people for this dead tree landscaping so I Don't really get how you can even pull it off. I guess it's because people don't come to the meetings. They just Keep getting their taxes raised But the landscaping that the city does or lack of or just complete ignoring it is super visible in so many areas with dead landscaping, broken water systems,

Item # 1.
10 abandoned landscaping. I mean, if it's not done with a weed eater or a blower, it's not done, which just mutilates any ornamental vegetation. We really need to teach the public works how to use clippers and shears and a broom and a rake and things like that for our more delicate areas instead of just hacking them with motorized equipment. But that's where I'm coming back on that because you guys really need to look at it. It's a major fire hazard as well as the fact that it shouldn't be paid for.

You should be giving these folks a refund. Thank you. Thank you.

Grass Valley City Council, Public Comment (6/10/2025), Ted Bibby Public Comment for Grass Valley City Council – SR 174/20 Intersection Project Good evening Council Members,
Thank you for the opportunity to speak. I’m a parent, local resident, and daily pedestrian near the SR 174 and 20 intersection. I appreciate the progress being made to improve traffic flow and safety in this area, especially through the proposed roundabout.

As the project moves forward, I respectfully ask that we place more emphasis on pedestrian safety and walkability, especially since we're still in the early design stages. Let’s focus on reconnecting our downtown, parks and neighborhoods that are separated by the freeway.

The current design alternatives and traffic modeling are heavily focused on vehicle operations—Level of Service, queue lengths, and delay times. These are important metrics, but they don’t tell us how safe or intuitive it feels to walk or bike through the intersection—especially for kids walking to Grass Valley Charter, families heading downtown, or seniors trying to cross South Auburn.

This project area has incomplete sidewalks, reported bike and pedestrian collisions, and—according to Census data—nearly 10% of our city's commuters walk to work, over three times the county average. Yet no pedestrian level of service analysis was included, and there’s no pedestrian demand forecast like there is for vehicle traffic.

So I’m asking the City to consider the following:

1. Include a pedestrian and bicycle Level of Service (PLOS) analysis—this helps us measure comfort, delay, and exposure risk, not just traffic flow.

2. Add pedestrian-specific safety design features—like raised crosswalks, tighter curb radii, or Dutch-style protected crossings. Consider recent guidelines by NCHRP to make roundabout pedestrian friendly. Specifically providing separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists and cars.

3. Reconnect with active transportation stakeholders—especially local schools, seniors, and bike-ped groups— before moving into 30% design.

4. Integrate the vision from the Wolf Creek Parkway Plan, which proposed a trailhead plaza and shared-use paths in this exact area.

5. Consider modifications to include the 3 intersections just outside the roundabout. These areas appear to remain unchanged despite proximity to the project.

If we’re going to invest in a major gateway into downtown, let’s make sure it works for people walking and biking—not just cars.

Safer crossings, direct walking routes, and intuitive design are what will actually get more people out of cars and onto sidewalks.

This is a rare opportunity to build something not just functional—but people-centered. Thank you for considering these requests.

Sincerely,
-Ted Bibby,
Grass Valley resident.

Grass Valley City Council, Public Comment (6/10/2025), Ted Bibby Request: Conduct a Pedestrian Level of Service (PLOS) Analysis Why: The current report models vehicular LOS but not pedestrian comfort, delay, or route clarity.

Ask: Request that the City require a Pedestrian Level of Service (PLOS) or Multi-Modal LOS (MMLOS) analysis per Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 6th Edition or NACTO guidelines. This would help identify whether crossings, signal timing, and path continuity support safe, efficient walking.

Recommendation: Evaluate Protected Crossings and Direct Routes for All Ages Why: The current plan assumes shared paths and marked crosswalks are sufficient. For families, older adults, and disabled pedestrians, design quality matters more than just presence.

Ask: Recommend evaluating the feasibility of:
• Dutch-style protected intersections
• Raised crosswalks or tight curb radii
• Shorter crossing distances
Direct sidewalk connections to local destinations (e.g., school, grocery, transit) Request: Forecast Pedestrian Demand and Induced Use
Why: The report forecasts vehicle demand to 2035 but omits projected pedestrian or bicycle volumes, despite Grass Valley’s high walking rate (9.3%).

Ask: Request the use of forecast models or trip-generation tools to estimate latent pedestrian demand (e.g., from Grass Valley Charter, downtown businesses, and neighborhoods) if high-quality pedestrian infrastructure were provided.

Request: Early Coordination with Active Transportation Stakeholders Why: A handful of people attended the public workshop. The record shows one daily bicyclist gave input.

Ask: Re-convene stakeholders (Walk Nevada County, school reps, disability advocates) before moving into 30% design. This supports SB 743 compliance and Caltrans' Complete Streets policy.

Recommendation: Preserve and Integrate the Wolf Creek Parkway Trail Vision Why: The 2006 Wolf Creek Parkway Plan envisioned a daylighted creek and trailhead plaza—ignored in current design.

Ask: Recommend integrating this vision into the current project by preserving trail alignment and enhancing trail-user visibility at crossings.

Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Grass Valley City Councilmembers, My name is Kiya and I am a resident of Grass Valley. I would like to express my strong support for improvements to the Highway 174/20/South Auburn Street intersection, particularly the inclusion of a roundabout. Our family of four regularly enjoys walking to our (lovely) downtown but we actively avoid walking under the 20 overpass because it is unpleasant and feels unsafe for children. The redesign is a wonderful opportunity to address this issue and build a City that is connected by foot and by bike.

As you continue the design, I respectfully urge you to prioritize and optimize bike and pedestrian safety, especially given the proximity of Grass Valley Charter (GVC) School, where I am a parent of a current student. Please consider the following aspects in your planning:

1. Bike Commuting to GVC School: Many students and residents bike to and from the School and through this intersection. In my child’s classroom of ~ 20 students, 3 families bike commute, including our family. There are 19 other classrooms at GVC School. The design should include dedicated, safe, and intuitive bike lanes and/or crossings that encourage cycling.

2. Safe Pedestrian Pathway From GVC School to Downtown: GVC School organizes walking field trips to downtown Grass Valley, including for the holiday food drive and the Wild & Scenic Film Festival. The intersection improvements must facilitate safe and easy pedestrian access for very large groups of children as young as 4 years old, allowing them to cross from the School on S.

Auburn Street, up Neal Street, and to the downtown promenade. Older students walking through the intersection to downtown after school may also be a concern.

3. GVC School Pickup and Drop-off: Ensure the design safely accommodates the significant volume of vehicle, bike, and pedestrian traffic during school pickup and drop-off times. In particular, the parking lot under the freeway and the crosswalk from the parking lot to the school near South Auburn Street & Eastbound Off-Ramp/Hansen Way are highly trafficked. Clear, protected pathways and crossing points are essential.

4. Walkability/Bikeability between East/West Grass Valley: This is an important junction for downtown area connectivity across Highway 20 for residents between the City’s parks, schools, and businesses. There is no other feasible walking or biking route between public spaces east of 20 (downtown, Minnie & Condon Parks, Lymon Gilmore, Scotten & Bell Hill Schools), and west of 20 (Memorial Park, GVC School, S. Auburn & Colfax Ave businesses). This is a vital opportunity to enhance bike and pedestrian connections between these parts of town, benefiting families, businesses, and residents.

Finally, I'd like to encourage continued consultation between the City and/or design team and the Grass Valley Charter School to discuss safety and how their students, staff, and parents use this space.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and thank you to the City staff and design team for their efforts.

Sincerely,
Kiya Bibby
Grass Valley Resident, Grass Valley Charter School Parent

City Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Purchase Energy Credits to meet procurement requirements of SB1383 CEQA: Not a Project.

Recommendation: That Council 1) authorize the Deputy Public Works Director to negotiate and execute an agreement with Pacific-Ultrapower Chinese Station, subject to legal review; and 2) authorize the Deputy Finance Director to make any necessary budget adjustments and/or transfers to implement this agreement.

Prepared by: Zac Quentmeyer, Deputy Public Works Director Council Meeting Date: June 24, 2025 Date Prepared: June 10, 2025 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: The California State Senate Bill (SB) 1383 requires local jurisdictions to purchase recycled organic mulch/compost products and/or energy credits derived from using recycled mulch/compost products to create energy. City Council approved the execution of a contract with Desert View Power to purchase energy credits in June of 2023. In February of 2025, Desert View Power notified the City that they could not meet the terms of the contract by providing energy credits for 2025.

Subsequentially, City staff identified a new firm, Pacific-Ultrapower Chinese Station, who can provide energy credits at rate 66% less than the previous firm.

Staff is recommending the City execute a contract with Pacific-Ultrapower Chinese Station to purchase energy credits to meet procurement requirements of SB 1383.

Attached is a draft contract for Council information.

Council Goals/Objectives: The execution of this action attempts to achieve Strategic Goal #5 – High Performance Government and Quality Service.

Fiscal Impact: Cost savings as the rate in the new agreement is 66% less than the previous agreement.

Title: Uniform Public Contract Cost Accounting Act Adoption CEQA: N/A – Not A Project
Recommendation Motion: That Council: 1) elect to become subject to the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act and 2) adopt Resolution 2025-26, directing the City Clerk to notify the California State Controller of the City’s election to become subject to the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act.

Prepared by: Bjorn P. Jones, PE, City Engineer
Council Meeting Date: 6/24/2025 Date Prepared: 6/18/2025 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: The Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (UPCCAA or the “Act”) was created by the California Legislature in 1983 as an alternative bidding process designed to reduce costs, expedite award of construction contracts and simplify administration of smaller projects. UPCCAA is contained in the Public Contract Code, Sections 22000 through 22045 and has been adopted by over 1,600 cities, counties, school districts and special districts throughout the state.

The Act is administered per Public Contract Code Section 22010, by the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission consisting of 14 members: 13 members appointed by the State Controller and the License “A” member by the Contractors’ State License Board. Seven members represent the public sector (counties, cities, school districts, and special districts). Six members represent the private sector (public works contractors and unions).

Pursuant to the current version of the Act, projects for the construction, reconstruction, renovation, alteration, improvement, demolition or repair work of public agency owned, leased or operated facilities may be procured as follows:
• Public projects of $75,000 or less may be procured by negotiated contract or public agency employees by force account.
• Public projects of $220,000 or less may be procured by informal bidding procedures. • Public projects of greater than $220,000 will be procured by formal bidding procedures set forth in the act.

By law, the governing body of the public agency must elect by resolution to become subject to the Act and a copy of the approved resolution must be filed with the State Controller’s Office (Section 22030). Once a public agency has opted into the Act, it will remain a part of the program unless the agency withdraws from the Act by filing with the State Controller’s Office a resolution of the agency’s election to withdraw, adopted

Item # 3.
during a public meeting of the agency’s governing body. The Act supersedes only the bidding procedures used once a public agency has opted into the Act and has notified the Controller. All other contracting requirements of the Public Contract Code remain applicable. The Act is part of the Public Contract Code; therefore, if the Act is silent on a particular matter, then other relevant provisions of the Public Contract Code applies to that matter.

Currently, the provisions of the Act are already referenced in the Contracts and Centralized Purchasing section of the Grass Valley City Charter. However, there is no prior record of the City formally electing to become subject to the Act. As such, legal counsel has recommended that the City officially file notice with the State Controller’s Office that we intend to become part of the program and begin following its provisions.

Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached Resolution 2025-26, electing to become subject to the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act and directing the City Clerk to file a copy of the approved resolution with the California State Controller.

Council Goals/Objectives: Electing to become subject to the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act executes portions of work tasks towards achieving/maintaining Strategic Plan Goal – High Performance Government & Quality Service
Fiscal Impact: There is no direct fiscal impact in electing to become subject to the Act. Future contract costs may be reduced due to expedited awards and simplified administration procedures for smaller projects.

Title: Appropriation Limit for Fiscal Year 2025-26
CEQA: Not a Project.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2025-28 establishing the Appropriation Limit for the City of Grass Valley for the Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Prepared by: Jennifer Styczynski, Deputy Finance Director Council Meeting Date: 06/24/2025 Date Prepared: 06/19/2025 Agenda: Consent
Discussion: Each year, the City is required to adopt an appropriations limit in accordance with Article XIII B of the California Constitution. This limit is based on the City's 1978-79 appropriations "base" and is adjusted annually using inflation and population growth factors, as allowed under Proposition 111.

For the inflation (price) adjustment, the City may choose between the percentage change in California per capita personal income or the percentage change in assessed valuation from new non-residential construction. For the population adjustment, the City may use either the growth rate in the City's population or that of the County.

For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City has elected to use the following adjustment factors:
 Population Factor: County population growth rate of -0.54%  Price Factor: Change in State per capita personal income of 6.44%, resulting in a price factor of 1.0587
The combined adjustment factor, calculated by multiplying the population and price factors, is 1.0587. Applying this factor to the FY 2024-25 appropriations limit of $29,110,130 yields a new appropriations limit for FY 2025-26 of $30,817,504.

Based on the City’s FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget, projected appropriations are approximately $6,509,297 below the established limit.

Council Goals/Objectives: Establishing the FY 2025-26 Appropriations Limit executes portions of the work tasks towards achieving / maintaining the Strategic Plan goal to maintain a High-Performance Government and Quality Service.

Title: Update of the Appointment of City Councilmembers and Staff to Boards and Commission
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Approve Mayor Hodge’s recommended updated appointments of Councilmembers and Staff to various Boards and Commissions.

Prepared by: Timothy Kiser, City Manager
Council Meeting Date: 6/24/2025 Date Prepared: 6/19/2025 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: The City Council has established a formal process for appointing Council Members and staff to serve as representatives on various regional Boards and Commissions. Each year, the Mayor reviews the list of assignments and recommends appointments for Council consideration. Many of these appointments include both a primary and an alternate representative to ensure continuity.

Occasionally, changes to the list are necessary due to staff transitions or the creation of new Boards and Commissions. For example, a recent staff departure created a vacancy on the City’s Development Review Committee (DRC). In response, the staff updated the listing from the individual's name to the position title to help avoid similar issues in the future.

In addition to some minor housekeeping updates, staff is also recommending the addition of a new Board assignment related to the formation of the Western Nevada County Climate Collaborative Governing Board (name subject to finalization as the group formalizes its structure). This emerging Collaborative includes Nevada County and at least five other local partner agencies: the City of Grass Valley, City of Nevada City, Nevada County Resource Conservation District (RCD), Nevada Irrigation District (NID), and Sierra Memorial Hospital.

The purpose of the Collaborative is to strengthen regional coordination and accelerate action on climate resilience. It will serve as a platform for:
 Coordinating regional climate mitigation and adaptation efforts  Pursuing joint funding and grant opportunities
 Sharing best practices and technical resources
 Highlighting and promoting existing efforts and successes across Western Nevada County

Item # 7.

Each participating agency will appoint two to three representatives to serve on the Governing Board. Responsibilities will include:
 Participating in strategic planning and agenda setting  Co-leading working groups or specific projects as appropriate  Sharing data, technical expertise, and community connections  Advising on funding priorities and implementation strategies Attached to this report are the appointments recommended by Mayor Hodge for Council consideration and approval.

Council Goals/Objectives: This item executes portions of work tasks towards HighPerformance Government and Quality Service Goal # 5.A.3: Continue to build cooperative relationships with representatives from service clubs and other community groups.

Title: Purchase of Demo Skid Steer Masticator
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: That the City Council (1) approve the sole service purchase of Demo Takeuchi Skid Steer and attachments quote received from the Global Machinery in the amount up to $152,000 plus any taxes for the wildfire vegetation removal and maintenance pursuant to Grass Valley Municipal Code 3.08.140 (requires 4/5 vote); (2) authorize the City Manager executive the purchase agreement and related documents to purchase the skid steer and associated attachments pending approval of the Fiscal Year Budget 2025/26 by City Council, subject to legal review.

Prepared by: Tim Kiser, City Manager
Council Meeting Date: 6/24/2025 Date Prepared: 06/17/2025 Agenda: Administrative
Background Information: As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to reduce wildfire risk and maintain defensible space in high-priority areas, staff received approval from the Measure B Oversight Committee to move forward with the purchase of a Takeuchi Track Skid Steer with a masticator head and several other attachments. This equipment is a vital addition to the City’s vegetation management program and wildfire prevention operations.

The proposed equipment package includes:
 A demo masticator head (with a one-year warranty),
 A demo 2025 Takeuchi TL12R2 track skid steer (with low demo hours and full manufacturer warranty),
 A grapple attachment (full warranty),
 80” Bucket (2 in 1) and
This purchase was incorporated into the proposed Measure B budget presented to City Council in May 27, 2025, and remains part of the FY 2025–26 Final Budget scheduled for Council consideration on June 24, 2025. The acquisition will only proceed if the Measure B budget is formally approved and adopted.

Item # 8.

This equipment is essential for enhancing the City’s ability to perform fuel reduction, vegetation clearance, and ongoing maintenance of previously cleared areas. The skid steer track masticator allows City crews to efficiently grind brush and woody debris into mulch, reducing fire fuel loads and eliminating the need for costly haul-off operations in many locations. The grapple attachment adds significant operational value by allowing crews to consolidate large logs or debris piles for mulching or transport, thereby improving workflow and reducing manual labor.

Together, this equipment will enable the City to deal with vegetation hazards, reduce fire risk in the wildland-urban interface more efficiently, and maintain the progress achieved through prior fuel management projects. It also positions the City to better support community safety and resilience in the face of longer fire seasons and increased fire risk due to climate change.

Due to the unique nature of the proposed equipment package—which includes demo units offered at significantly discounted prices below government cooperative purchasing rates—staff recommends a sole source procurement through Global Machinery. This vendor has provided pricing that is both lower than competitive purchasing platforms and includes additional attachments that maximize operational versatility. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 3.08.140, a sole source procurement requires a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council for approval.

Please note, this purchase is contingent on final adoption of the FY 2025–26 budget and will not proceed unless the Measure B funding allocation is approved by Council on June 24, 2025. No purchases will be made prior to the start of the new fiscal year.

Council Goals/Objectives: This item executes portions of work tasks towards achieving/maintaining the Strategic Plan – High Performance Government & Quality Service and Productive and Efficient Workforce.

Fiscal Impact: There are sufficient funds proposed within the FY 2025/26 Budget for this purchase in the Measure B fund.

Prepared by: Jennifer Styczynski, Deputy Finance Director Council Meeting Date: 06/24/2025 Date Prepared: 06/16/2025 Agenda: Public Hearing
Discussion: The recommended actions complete the annual process for levying assessments for the City's Landscaping and Lighting Districts (LLDs) and Assessment Districts (ADs) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025–26. These assessments fund ongoing services and improvements as outlined in the respective Engineer’s Reports. They are collected in two installments alongside property tax payments.

Some assessments for FY 2025–26 have been increased by up to 2.6%, in accordance with the February 2025 Consumer Price Index for Pacific Cities–West. In addition, several districts will utilize existing fund balances to offset a portion of the costs, limiting the need for larger assessment increases.

The following summarizes the proposed assessments for each district:
 Whispering Pines
The assessment methodology uses two separate factors to allocate costs among individual lots. For FY 2025–26, the Engineering Department proposes a total assessment spread of $30,813.00, up from $30,032.00 in FY 2024–25.  Litton Business Park
The initial annual assessment per development area was $480.00. At full build-out, each area is intended to share equally in all LLD expenses. For FY 2025–26, the proposed per-area assessment is $365.02, resulting in a total assessment spread of $6,935.30.
 Morgan Ranch
The proposed total assessment for FY 2025–26 is $30,087.77, based on a per-dwelling unit levy of $78.34. This is an increase from the FY 2024–25 assessment of $29,322.24.
 Ventana Sierra
The Engineering Department recommends a total assessment of $4,450.94, equating to $234.26 per dwelling unit. This is an increase from $3,665.86 in FY 2024–25.  Scotia Pines

Item # 10.

The total proposed assessment is $4,752.00, with a per-dwelling unit levy of $86.40, compared to $4,631.00 in FY 2024–25.
 Morgan Ranch West LLD
The total assessment remains unchanged at $500.00, with a levy of $20.00 per dwelling unit, the same as FY 2024–25.
 Ridge Meadows LLD
The Engineering Department proposes a total assessment of $9,500.12, with a perdwelling unit levy of $256.76, up from $8,370.14 in FY 2024–25.  Morgan Ranch Unit 7 AD
The proposed assessment remains at $480.00, with a per-dwelling unit levy of $20.00, unchanged from FY 2024–25.
 Morgan Ranch West AD
The proposed total assessment is $750.00, with a per-dwelling unit levy of $30.00, the same as FY 2024–25.
 Ridge Meadows AD
The total proposed assessment remains $700.04, resulting in a per-dwelling unit levy of $18.92, unchanged from FY 2024–25.

Council Goals/Objectives: The annual assessments for the City’s Landscaping and Lighting Districts (LLDs) and Benefit Assessment Districts (ADs) support the Council’s Strategic Plan objective of City Infrastructure Investment by funding the maintenance and operation of community-specific improvements and services.

Fiscal Impact: The proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2025–26 total $88,965.08, representing an increase of $4,896.50 over the FY 2024–25 total of $84,068.58. The increase is primarily due to Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments in certain districts.

Other districts will either maintain the same assessment level as the prior year or utilize available fund balances to offset costs.

Because the district was created before Proposition 218, the initial assessment per property has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund.

The annual maximum assessments shall be adjusted annually, as set forth hereinafter, based upon the Consumer Price Indexes Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average as issued by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Base Index to be used for subsequent annual adjustments (“Base Index”) shall be the Index published annually in February (“Base Month”). The annual maximum assessment per lot, as defined in this report, shall be adjusted every year based upon the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands on the Base Month of each year over the Base Index. Any reduction or de-escalation in the Index from one year to the next will not result in a reduction of the annual costs. The annual costs will be levied consistent with the previous year.

This assessment spread uses two factors to determine individual lot assessments. Fifty percent of the cost is spread using the net area of each lot as to the total net area. Net area is the area remaining in each lot after deducting the area dedicated to open space. The remaining fifty percent is spread to those lots fronting Whispering Pines Lane on a front foot basis as a percentage of the total length of frontage along Whispering Pines Lane. The formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel = Round ([(Total Assessment/2)*(% of Net Area)] + [(Total Assessment/2)*(% of Whispering Pines Lane Frontage)])
Notwithstanding the foregoing method of apportionment, parcels numbered 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 shall receive zero assessments for the first year as shown in the second amended Engineer’s Report and each of said parcels shall continue to receive no assessment until such time as the parcel is sold or developed.

Development shall be evidenced by issuance of a building permit; provided, however, that the issuance of a building permit to reconstruct the sanctuary of the Whispering Pines Church of God located on parcel numbers 19 and 20 shall not be construed to be development. At the time of sale or development of each of said parcels, they shall thereafter be assessed in accordance with the method of apportionment hereinabove set forth.

The total assessment for 2024/2025 was $30,032.00. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2025/2026 is $30,813.01. The actual total assessment will be $30,813.00. Each parcel’s assessment rate, as depicted in Part C was calculated by using the assessment per parcel formula above which incorporates each parcel’s net area and length of Whispering Pines Lane frontage.

2025/2026 Engineer’s Report
Commercial Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1988-1 ZONE 2 - Litton Business Park
The Litton Business Park was annexed into the 1988-1 Commercial L&L District in 1999. Although the district was created after Proposition 218, the initial assessment per property has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund.

The initial assessment spread created a yearly assessment per development area of $480.00. It is the intent that each development area of the entire project share equally in all Landscaping and Lighting District expenses upon completion of said project. As future phases of this project are incorporated into the Landscaping and Lighting District, the existing assessment area will be reassessed and new assessment values will be calculated equally per development area. The assessment formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel =Round ((# of Development Areas) * (Total Assessment)) / (Total # of Development Areas)
The annual maximum assessments shall be adjusted annually, as set forth hereinafter, based upon the Consumer Price Indexes Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average as issued by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Base Index to be used for subsequent annual adjustments (“Base Index”) shall be the Index published annually in February (“Base Month”). The annual maximum assessment per lot, as defined in this report, shall be adjusted every year based upon the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands on the Base Month of each year over the Base Index. Any reduction or de-escalation in the Index from one year to the next will not result in a reduction of the annual costs. The annual costs will be levied consistent with the previous year.

The total assessment for 2024/2025 was $6,760.30. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2025/2026 is $6,936.41. The actual total assessment will be $6,935.30. Each parcel’s assessment rate, as depicted in Part C was calculated by using the assessment per parcel formula shown above which evenly distributes the assessment over the original number of parcels. Parcels subdivided after the initial assessment pay a portion of the assessment based on percentage of area of the original parcel.

Residential Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1988-2 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONING
In order to maintain sufficient funding for the Districts, assessments will be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average for February of the year of calculation All Items Indexes for the West. The corresponding CPI for February 2025 was 2.6%.

ZONE I - Morgan Ranch
The Morgan Ranch Subdivision was annexed into the 1988-2 Residential L&L District in 1996. Because the district was created before Proposition 218, the initial assessment per dwelling unit of $87.00 has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund. Per the formation documents, it is the intent that each dwelling unit of the project shares equally in all expenses of Zone I.

The annual maximum assessments shall be adjusted annually, as set forth hereinafter, based upon the Consumer Price Indexes Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average as issued by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Base Index to be used for subsequent annual adjustments (“Base Index”) shall be the Index published annually in February (“Base Month”). The annual maximum assessment per lot, as defined in this report, shall be adjusted every year based upon the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands on the Base Month of each year over the Base Index. Any reduction or de-escalation in the Index from one year to the next will not result in a reduction of the annual costs. The annual costs will be levied consistent with the previous year. The assessment formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel = Round (Total Assessment / # of Parcels) Based on the total build-out number of parcels as of 6/1/2025, and the total assessment needed for FY 2025/2026, the levy will be increased $1.98 per dwelling unit to $78.34 per dwelling unit in accordance with the Consumer Price Index.

The total assessment for 2024/2025 was $29,322.24. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2025/2026 is $30,087.77. The actual total assessment will be $30,082.56. Each parcel’s assessment rate, as depicted in Part C was calculated by using the assessment per parcel formula shown above which evenly distributes the assessment over the number of parcels.

ZONE II - Ventana Sierra (Tract 90-03)
The Ventana Sierra Subdivision was annexed into the 1988-2 Residential L&L District in 1993.

2025/2026 Engineer’s Report
Ridge Meadows Benefit Assessment District No. 2016-1
PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONING
In order to maintain sufficient funding for the Districts, assessments will be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average for February of the year of calculation All Items Indexes for the West. The corresponding CPI for February 2025 was 2.6%.

Ridge Meadows
General Benefit
The drainage facilities in Ridge Meadows and the maintenance, operation, and servicing of those facilities are of entirely local and special benefit to the parcels in Ridge Meadows, and no general benefits are provided by them.

Apportionment of Special Benefits
The initial assessment spread created a yearly assessment per dwelling unit of $104.80. It is the intent that each dwelling unit of the project shares equally in all expenses.

The 2024/2025 assessment was $700.04. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2025/2026 is $2,244.55. The actual total assessment will remain unchanged at $700.04. Based on the total build-out number of parcels and the total assessment needed, the FY 2025/2026 levy will remain at $18.92 per dwelling unit.

The assessment formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel = Round (Total Assessment / # of Parcels)

We appreciate the City’s eƯorts to address staƯing challenges, including the use of out-of-class and special project pay where appropriate. While some positions remain unfilled or are being pursued as part-time due to budget constraints, we recognize the complexity of balancing operational needs with fiscal realities.

That said, even a small number of vacancies can place a significant burden on the remaining workforce. We hope the City continues to prioritize long-term solutions that restore full allocations and reduce the pressure on employees who are already stepping up to fill the gaps.

COMMUNITY PROFILE
The City of Grass Valley traces its roots to the California Gold Rush and was officially incorporated in 1860. Nestled in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada at an elevation of approximately 2,500 feet, Grass Valley is the largest city in western Nevada County. Covering 4.7 square miles, it is home to an estimated population of 14,065.

Grass Valley is renowned for the Empire Mine and North Star Mine - two of California’s richest gold mines. Many of the early settlers were skilled tin miners from Cornwall, England, drawn by the demand for deep-rock mining expertise. These miners played a critical role, particularly in managing the complex task of dewatering deep mine shafts. The mines thrived during the Great Depression but temporarily shut down during World War II. After the war, rising production costs led to their eventual closure, ending nearly a century of gold production and leaving behind a rich legacy of tunnels, shafts, and history.

The historic core of Grass Valley, centered around Mill and Main Streets, still reflects its Gold Rush past. The City’s early success in quartz mining laid the foundation for its role as the commercial hub of western Nevada County. Today, the Grass Valley/Nevada County Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Business Association actively promote local business and tourism, preserving the city's vibrant heritage and economy.

Grass Valley continues to celebrate its Cornish roots with events like Cornish Christmas and St Piran's Day. Traditional pasties remain a local favorite, with recipes passed down from the original Cornish immigrants. The City is also proudly twinned with Bodmin, Cornwall, in the United Kingdom.

CITY OF GRASS VALLEY
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET OVERVIEW
The following is a summary of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget, including a comparison with prior year estimated actuals and a discussion of any recommended changes. On May 27, 2025, the City Council adopted a Preliminary Budget for FY 2025-26 in accordance with City Charter requirements. The final budget presented herein incorporates updates to fund schedules previously provided and includes budgetary information for all citywide funds.

While the economy has stabilized in many areas, key financial pressures continue to affect the City's fiscal outlook. Persistent inflation has elevated energy costs, and the price of goods and services used across all departments. Additionally, volatility in CalPERS investment returns and rising amortization payments for unfunded pension liabilities continue to strain long-term financial planning. Citywide insurance premiums have also increased, further contributing to overall expenditure growth.

Given these factors, the City remains committed to proactive financial monitoring. Staff will return to Council on a quarterly basis following budget adoption to provide updates on revenue performance, spending trends, and any emerging fiscal risks within the City’s major funds.

Estimated net operating revenues (excluding transfers) for FY 2025-26 are projected at $46.95 million, an increase from the estimated $39.51 million in FY 2024-25. Total planned expenditures for FY 2025-26 are $60.66 million, compared to $37.25 million anticipated for FY 2024-25.

Citywide Revenues
Total estimated revenues for Fiscal Year 2025-26 are projected to increase by approximately $7.45 million compared to the estimated actuals for FY 2024-25. This growth in anticipated revenues is primarily due to two major sources. The first is the implementation of Measure B, which began generating revenue in October 2024. Fiscal Year 2025-26 will mark the first full year of Measure B collections, with estimated revenue totaling approximately $806,000. The second source is onetime grant funding, totaling approximately $5.21 million. These grants are expected from a variety of sources such as CMAQ, ATP, and ECRG, and will support several key projects including street rehabilitation, the Wolf Creek Trail Study, and the South Auburn and Colfax Roundabout.

These revenues, in addition to transfers from other funds, are programmed to support the City’s capital improvement program during FY 2025-26. Total capital expenditures for the year are projected to exceed $22.59 million, reflecting the City’s continued investment in infrastructure and community enhancements.

Citywide Expenditures
Anticipated expenditures for Fiscal Year 2025-26 are projected at $60.66 million, net of interfund transfers. This reflects an increase of approximately $23.41 million compared to the $37.25 million projected by the end of FY 2024-25. Most of this increase is driven by the City’s recommended $22.59 million capital improvement program. Key projects included in the capital plan are the Wolf Creek Trail Study, Condon Parking Lot Restrooms, Loma Rica Trail Improvements, Magenta Drain Restoration, McCourtney Road Pedestrian Improvements, South Auburn Street Renovation, and the South Auburn and Colfax Roundabout.

It is also important to note that the FY 2025-26 budget includes full-year funding for all authorized positions, including those that are currently vacant. This approach ensures sufficient appropriation authority is available to support service levels and operational readiness, without assuming savings from unfilled positions. Budgeted expenditures by fund type are presented in the table below.

General Fund
FY 2025-26 General Fund Preliminary Budget:

Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2024-25 Estimated Actuals $ 18,872,996 $ 19,024,891 $ (151,895) FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget $ 19,029,615 $ 19,029,418 $ 197 The FY 2025-26 Preliminary General Fund Budget includes projected revenues of $19,029,615 and expenditures totaling $19,029,418. This results in revenues exceeding expenditures by a small margin of $197, primarily due to anticipated increases in insurance costs - including liability, property, and workers’ compensation - as well as unfunded liability amortization expenses. Key revenue and expenditure impacts to the City’s General Fund for FY 2025-26 are outlined below.

The FY 2025-26 budgeted revenue of $19,029,615 represents an increase of approximately $156,500 over the projected revenue for FY 2024-25, primarily due to:
• Projected 3.0% increase in property tax revenues, reflecting ongoing strength in the housing market and an increase in the State’s Consumer Price Index (CPI). • Higher franchise fee revenues, primarily driven by increased electricity fee collections resulting from rate adjustments.
• Stabilization of interest earnings, supported by the City’s continued active participation in the investment market and sustained favorable interest rates. • Creation of a new revenue account to track reimbursements for strike team deployments, improving transparency. A corresponding expenditure account has also been established. • Minor reductions in reimbursement and refund accounts, due to the elimination of onetime reimbursements recorded in the prior year. • Decreases in grant revenues, reflecting the conclusion of one-time funding received in FY 2024-25, including a UC Davis animal shelter grant and a NAAQMD grant for the purchase of a utility tractor.

The FY 2025-26 budgeted expenditures total $19,029,418, reflecting an increase of approximately $4,527 over projected FY 2024-25 expenditures. This modest increase is primarily due to the following factors:
• Funding for approved citywide labor costs increases.
• Operating materials budgets for many departments are held at FY 2024-25 levels to support budget stability.
• Increased costs for fuel and electricity.
• Higher contract amount with Nevada County Sheriff’s Office for ongoing dispatch services.
• Rising expenses for workers’ compensation and general liability insurance. • Salary savings are anticipated due to a frozen position in the Finance Department and the conversion full-time positions in the Parks Department and the Building Department/Front Counter.

Item # 12.
• $50,000 reduction in Appropriation for Contingencies, from $150,000 to $100,000.

As part of the FY 2025-26 budget development process, it is important to note that the City maintains several key contingency reserves within the General Fund:
• CalPERS Pension Stabilization Reserve - $1,500,000
• Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Reserve - $500,000 • Capital and Deferred Maintenance Reserve - $1,000,000 • Economic Contingency Reserve - $2,500,000
These Assigned Reserves are intended to provide financial flexibility and stability in the following areas:
• Absorbing unexpected increases in pension or health benefit costs. • Reducing the need to rely on General Fund discretionary revenues for urgent capital improvements and deferred maintenance; and
• Mitigating the impact of potential service level reductions during economic downturns.

As of the end of FY 2025-26, total General Fund reserves are estimated to be approximately $8.21 million. Projected reserve balances as of June 30, 2026, are expected to include the following:
$ 5,936,452 Designated Reserves
$ 2,272,044 Undesignated Reserves
$ 8,208,496 Total General Fund Reserves
GF Measure E Sales Tax Fund
FY 2025-26 GF Measure E Sales Tax Fund Preliminary Budget:

Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2024-25 Estimated Actuals $ 7,389,569 $ 6,356,602 $ 1,032,967 FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget $ 7,489,000 $ 10,234,170 $ (2,745,170) The GF Measure E Sales Tax Fund (Measure E) accounts for the City’s voter-approved 1-cent transactions and use tax, a general-purpose tax that supports police and fire services as well as streets and parks projects.

FY 2025-26, budgeted revenue is projected at $7,489,000, representing an increase of approximately $99,500 over the FY 2024-25 estimated revenues of $7,389,569. This increase is primarily due to the establishment of a new revenue account to track reimbursements for strike team deployments, enhancing financial transparency. A corresponding expenditure account has also been created to accurately reflect related costs.

FY 2025-26 budgeted expenditures of $10,234,170 represent an approximate $3.88 million increase over estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures. This increase is primarily driven by the planned use of prior years’ carryover fund balance to support various street and parks projects. In addition to the delivery and payment for a new fire truck - originally authorized in a prior fiscal year - Measure E funds are anticipated to support several key projects in the current year, including the Condon Parking Lot Restrooms, Loma Rica Trail Improvements, Magenta Drain Restoration (with 7

Item # 12.
multiple funding sources), South Auburn Street Renovation (also with multiple funding sources), and $1.20 million allocated to Street Pavement Rehabilitation.

The Measure E Fund provides funding for 19.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions - 10.5 FTE in the Police Department and 9 FTE in the Fire Department. All Measure E funded positions are fully budgeted and assumed to be filled for the entire FY 2025-26 period.

City staff will meet with the Measure E Oversight Committee to review key elements of the FY 2025-26 budget prior to its final adoption in June.

As of June 30, 2026, the Measure E Fund is projected to have an estimated fund balance of $1,970,815. These remaining funds may be appropriated in future fiscal years to support any Measure E related purposes.

GF Measure B Sales Tax Fund
FY 2025-26 GF Measure B Sales Tax Fund Preliminary Budget:

Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2024-25 Estimated Actuals $ 1,825,000 $ 668,899 $ 1,156,101 FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget $ 2,631,000 $ 3,401,254 $ (770,254) The GF Measure B Sales Tax Fund (Measure B) accounts for the City’s voter-approved 3/8-cent transactions and use tax, a general-purpose tax dedicated to reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire and extreme weather. This is achieved through funding for additional firefighters, vegetation management, and emergency evacuation planning.

For FY 2025-26, projected revenue is $2,631,000, while budgeted expenditures total $3,401,254.

As tax collection began in October 2024, FY 2025-26 will be the first full year of Measure B fund utilization. With programs just beginning in the prior fiscal year, approximately $1.1 million in carryover fund balance is available to support current-year projects. These include a fuel reduction project in the Loma Rica area, the launch of a grant program to assist businesses and residents with fuel reduction efforts, the purchase of additional equipment to enhance project flexibility, and multiple fuel reduction initiatives to be identified throughout the year.

The GF Measure B Sales Tax Fund provides 11 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions - 2 in Risk Reduction and 9 in the Fire Department. All positions are fully budgeted and assumed to be filled for the entire FY 2025-26 period.

City staff has met with the Measure B Oversight Committee to review key elements of the FY 2025-26 budget prior to its anticipated adoption in June.

As of June 30, 2026, the Measure B Fund is projected to have an estimated fund balance of $386,000, to be appropriated in future fiscal years to support any Measure B related initiatives.

Water Enterprise Fund
FY 2025-26 Water Enterprise Fund Preliminary Budget:

Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2024-25 Estimated Actuals $ 2,602,404 $ 3,020,704 $ (418,300) FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget $ 2,688,200 $ 3,708,779 $ (1,020,579) 8

Item # 12.

FY 2025-26 Water Enterprise Fund revenues are projected to be slightly higher than the prior year’s budget, primarily due to the approved increase in water rates as outlined in the adopted Water Rate Study. Expenditures for FY 2025-26 are recommended to be approximately $602,000 higher than the previous year, mainly due to ongoing maintenance needs at the water treatment plant and a capital project to replace the water main as part of the South Auburn Street renovation.

This fiscal year also marks the final lease payment - totaling $161,188 - for the automated meter reading equipment purchased in 2011.

The Water Enterprise Fund is projected to end FY 2025-26 with a fund balance of approximately $1.32 million. Of this amount, roughly $1.21 million is reserved for specific purposes, leaving an unreserved balance of around $108,000. This projection assumes completion of all planned maintenance and capital projects by year-end.

Sewer Enterprise Fund
FY 2025-26 Sewer Enterprise Fund Preliminary Budget:

Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2024-25 Estimated Actuals $ 5,663,744 $ 5,361,248 $ 302,496 FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget $ 5,641,000 $ 10,431,096 $ (4,790,096) FY 2025-26 Sewer Enterprise Fund revenues are projected to be slightly higher than those budgeted in FY 2024-25, primarily due to the approved sewer rate increase as outlined in the adopted Sewer Rate Study. Expenditures for FY 2025-26 are recommended to increase by approximately $5.09 million over the prior year, largely due to the carryover of several major capital projects, including Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades, the Slate Creek Lift Station, and the Taylorville Lift Station.

This fiscal year also marks the final lease payment of $52,307 for the automated meter reading equipment purchased in 2011, as well as the final payment of $566,794 on the 2011 Wastewater Refunding Bonds, originally issued on August 1, 2011.

The Sewer Enterprise Fund is anticipated to end FY 2025-26 with a fund balance of approximately $4.65 million. Of this amount, $4.38 million is reserved for specific purposes, leaving an unreserved balance of about $270,000. This projection assumes that all planned capital projects are completed by the end of the fiscal year.

State of California Gas Tax Fund
FY 2025-26 State of California Gas Tax Fund Preliminary Budget:

Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2024-25 Estimated Actuals $ 795,743 $ 420,233 $ 375,510 FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget $ 830,481 $ 1,491,700 $ (661,219) The State of California Gas Tax Fund (Gas Tax Fund) accounts for revenues received from the Highway User Tax Account (HUTA), SB-1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), and pass-through funding from the Nevada County Transportation Commission (NCTC). These revenues are restricted for eligible transportation-related expenditures.

For FY 2025-26, Gas Tax revenues are projected to be approximately $34,700 higher than those 9

Item # 12.
anticipated in FY 2024-25, due to scheduled rate increases outlined in SB-1. Expenditures from the Gas Tax Fund are expected to increase by approximately $1.05 million in the upcoming fiscal year, driven by planned investments in street maintenance, sidewalk repairs, and partial funding of the South Auburn Street Renovation Project, which is supported by multiple funding sources.

The Gas Tax Fund is projected to end FY 2025-26 with a fund balance of approximately $4,441.

Traffic Safety Fund
FY 2025-26 Traffic Safety Fund Preliminary Budget:

Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2024-25 Estimated Actuals $ 223,808 $ 223,808 $ 0
FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget $ 216,700 $ 216,700 $ 0
The Traffic Safety Fund accounts for revenues from parking citations and transfers from the Gas Tax Fund, which are used to cover streetlight utility costs. Revenues for FY 2025-26 are expected to remain relatively consistent with those anticipated in FY 2024-25. Similarly, appropriations are projected to remain largely unchanged from the prior year.

It is expected that the Traffic Safety Fund will have no remaining fund balance at the end of FY 2025-26, as incoming revenues are fully allocated to support the fund’s required expenditures.

Development Fee Projects Fund
FY 2025-26 Development Fee Project Fund Preliminary Budget:

Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2024-25 Estimated Actuals $ 272,148 $ 0 $ 272,148
FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget $ 75,000 $ 565,000 $ (490,000) The Development Fee Project Fund accounts for the receipt AB-1600 Development Impact Fees, which are designated for nexus-based future projects that mitigate the impacts of new development.

Development Fee Project Fund revenues for FY 2025-26 are expected to include only interest earnings, estimated at $75,000. Given the unpredictable nature of development activity and fee collections, the budget may be updated periodically throughout the fiscal year as new information becomes available.

At this time, the following projects are planned to be funded by development impact fees during FY 2025-26: the Storm Drain Master Plan, the Bennett & Ophir Circulation Project, and the Centennial Drive Realignment. If any of these projects are not completed within the fiscal year, the associated appropriations will likely be carried forward into FY 2026-27.

The Development Fee Project Fund is projected to have approximately $1.98 million available for specific projects at the end of FY 2025-26.

Capital Improvements Projects Fund

Some projects are fully funded through the General Fund or the Measure E Fund and, as such, are not included in the Capital Projects Fund. Capital projects are typically supported by non-discretionary revenue sources such as grants and fees, as well as transfers in from other City funds.

For FY 2025-26, Capital Improvements Projects Fund revenues and expenditures are both estimated at $15.20 million. Project budgets have been updated to reflect the most current cost estimates and available funding.

New and continuing projects included in the Capital Improvements Projects Fund for FY 2025-26 include the Wolf Creek Trail Study, Condon Parking Lot Restrooms, Loma Rica Trail Improvements, Magenta Drain Restoration, McCourtney Road Pedestrian Improvements, South Auburn Street Renovation, and the South Auburn & Colfax Roundabout.

These projects are funded through a combination of specific grant sources - such as CMAQ, ATP, and ECRG - and transfers from other City funds, including the General Fund, Measure E, Gas Tax Fund, Traffic Safety Fund, Developer Fee Impact Fund, Water Enterprise Fund, and Special Projects Fund.

Special Projects Fund
FY 2025-26 Special Projects Fund Preliminary Budget:

Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2024-25 Estimated Actuals $ 323,213 $ 985,000 $ (661,787) FY 2025-26 Preliminary Budget $ 320,000 $ 3,475,000 $ (3,155,000) The Special Projects Fund accounts for capital projects that are supported by designated revenue sources outside of the City’s primary operating funds. For FY 2025-26, anticipated revenues include interest earnings and Regional Transportation Mitigation (RTMF) fees received from the County of Nevada.

In FY 2021-22, the City issued $6 million in debt specifically for future park improvements. Of that amount, approximately $3 million has already been used. For FY 2025-26, it is recommended that the remaining $3 million be allocated toward the Centerville Bike Park, Lyman Gilmore Lighting and Improvements, and Condon Park Baseball Improvement Projects.

The Special Projects Fund is projected to have a remaining fund balance of approximately $2.45 million as of June 30, 2026, which may be used to support future capital projects.

General Fund Multi-Year Forecast
To evaluate the City’s long-term capacity to sustain current service levels and program delivery, a Multi-Year Forecast has been developed for the General Fund, which serves as the primary funding source for most non-enterprise municipal services. This forecast functions as a strategic planning tool to assess fiscal sustainability over time.
11

Item # 12.

The model incorporates a range of known cost drivers, including negotiated salary adjustments, projected increases in CalPERS retirement contributions, annual allocations for capital projects and ongoing infrastructure maintenance, and modest growth in other operational costs. On the revenue side, the forecast applies conservative growth assumptions to key discretionary revenue sources such as property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, and franchise fees.

The purpose of the forecast is to provide a clear picture of the City’s ability to maintain existing service levels under anticipated economic conditions and to inform long-term financial planning decisions.

As illustrated in the forecast model, the General Fund is projected to close Fiscal Year (FY) 2025- 26 with a modest surplus of $197. While a slight deficit is anticipated in FY 2026-27, forecasted activity beginning in FY 2027-28 and beyond suggests a return to positive annual balances, assuming current revenue and expenditure trends continue.

These projections incorporate several conservative fiscal planning assumptions, including scheduled salary step increases based on current labor agreements, estimated personnel costs, and moderate growth in general expenditures. Importantly, the model includes an annual contingency appropriation of $100,000 beginning in FY 2025-26 to help offset unforeseen budgetary pressures.

The forecast also assumes the potential return of dispatch services to in-house operations. While no formal action has been taken, staff will evaluate this possibility further over the coming year.

Should the City Council decide to bring dispatch services back under City control, the associated costs are anticipated to be absorbed within the long-term projections.

CalPERS-related expenditure remains one of the most significant drivers of General Fund costs.

Based on current actuarial projections and employer rate schedules, annual pension-related costs for both safety and miscellaneous classifications are expected to range between approximately $2.66 million and $3.33 million through FY 2029-30. These figures reflect both the normal cost and required unfunded accrued liability (UAL) payments. It is important to note that the forecast 12

Item # 12.
includes only salary increases formally approved by the City Council, along with a modest escalation assumption, meaning actual pension costs could vary depending on labor negotiations and staffing changes.

Additionally, CalPERS has indicated the potential for rate volatility in the out-years, particularly as investment returns fluctuate and demographic assumptions evolve. As a result, pension costs may rise at a faster pace than currently modeled, representing a long-term fiscal risk.

This forecast does not account for staffing or capital improvement costs funded by the Measure E Sales Tax Fund, including 19.5 public safety positions and extensive street rehabilitation and park enhancement projects. If Measure E revenues were to decline or become unavailable, the General Fund would likely need to absorb approximately $3.38 million in ongoing annual personnel costs related to Measure E-funded staffing. This would significantly impact the City's ability to maintain a balanced General Fund without corresponding reductions in services or additional revenue sources.

Although the forecast suggests an improving fiscal outlook beginning in FY 2027-28, caution is warranted. Economic uncertainty, cost pressures from CalPERS, and potential funding gaps related to Measure E obligations all present meaningful long-term challenges. Continued conservative fiscal management and regular updates to the forecast model will be essential in ensuring long-term sustainability of General Fund operations. $-
