Title: Appropriation Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27
CEQA: Not a Project.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-24 establishing the Appropriation Limit for the City of Grass Valley for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Prepared by: Jennifer Styczynski, Finance Director
Council Meeting Date: 06/09/2026 Date Prepared: 06/02/2026 Agenda: Consent
Discussion: Article XIII B of the California Constitution requires cities to annually establish an appropriations limit, commonly referred to as the “Gann Limit”. The appropriations limit restricts the amount of certain tax revenues that may be appropriated each fiscal year and is adjusted annually based on inflation and population growth factors, as authorized by Proposition 111.
The calculation is based on the City’s FY 1978-79 appropriations base and is adjusted annually using:
A population growth factor, which may be based on either City or County population changes; and
An inflation (price) factor, which may be based on either California per capita personal income growth or local non-residential assessed valuation growth.
For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the City has elected to use the following factors:
Population Factor: Nevada County population growth rate of -0.47% Price Factor: Change in California per capita personal income of 4.95%, resulting in an adjustment factor of 1.0446
The combined adjustment factor applied to the FY 2025-26 appropriations limit results in a FY 2026-27 appropriations limit of $32,190,958.
Based on the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget, the City’s projected appropriations subject to the limit are approximately $7,069,212 below the allowable appropriations limit.
Council Goals/Objectives: Establishing the FY 2026-27 Appropriations Limit supports the City’s Strategic Plan goal of maintaining a High-Performance Government and delivering Quality Service to the community.
Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting the FY 2026-27 Appropriations Limit.

Discussion: To provide continued funding for the maintenance of improvements within the City’s assessment districts, the City must annually levy assessments that are collected through the Nevada County property tax roll.
Landscaping and Lighting Districts (LLDs): Assessments fund the maintenance of landscaping, irrigation systems, associated utilities, street lighting, and
Item # 6.
administrative costs within the respective district zones. Benefit Assessment Districts (BADs): Assessments fund the maintenance and operation of storm drainage systems, retaining walls, and administrative costs within the respective district areas.
The Engineer of Work has prepared the required annual reports for each district, including assessment diagrams and assessment rolls. These reports will be filed with the City Clerk prior to the public hearing scheduled for June 23, 2026.
Council Goals/Objectives: The annual assessment process supports the City Council’s Strategic Plan goal of City Infrastructure Investment by providing a sustainable funding source for the maintenance of neighborhood-specific infrastructure and services.
Fiscal Impact: The proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 assessments total $253,815.84, an increase of $164,850.76 from the Fiscal Year 2025-26 total of $88,965.08. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of the Loma Rica Ranch District to Assessment District No, 1988-2, Residential Landscaping and Lighting District, which accounts for $160,060.68 of the increase. The remaining increase of $4,790.08 is the result of Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments applied in certain districts, while assessments in other districts remain unchanged from the prior year.

2026/2027 Engineer’s Report
Commercial Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1988-1 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 2026 was 2.7%.
ZONE 1 - Whispering Pines
The Whispering Pines development created the 1988-1 Commercial L&L District in 1988. 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 2025/2026 was $30,813.00. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2026/2027 is $31,664.96. The actual total assessment will be $31,644.80. 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.

2026/2027 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 2025/2026 was $6,935.30. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2026/2027 is $7,123.69. The actual total assessment will be $7,123.20. 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 2026 was 2.7%.
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 6/1/2026, and the total assessment needed for FY 2026/2027, the levy will be increased $2.12 per dwelling unit to $80.46 per dwelling unit in accordance with the Consumer Price Index.
The total assessment for 2025/2026 was $30,082.56. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2026/2027 is $30,900.14. The actual total assessment will be $30,896.64. 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. Because the district was created before Proposition 218, the initial assessment per dwelling unit of $190.00 has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund.

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 6/1/2026, and the total assessment needed for FY 2026/2027, the levy will be increased $27.02 per dwelling unit to $283.78 per dwelling unit in accordance with the CPI.
The total annual assessment for 2025/2026 was $9,500.12. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2026/2027 is $11,393.93. The actual total assessment will be $10,499.86. 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 VI – Loma Rica Ranch
The Loma Rica Ranch Subdivision was annexed into the 1988-2 Residential L&L District in 2024.
Because the district was created before Proposition 218, the initial assessment per dwelling unit of $684.02 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 VI.
The landscaping, irrigation, street lights, trails and pocket parks in Loma Rica Ranch and the maintenance of such are of entirely local and special benefit to the parcels in Loma Rica, and no general benefits are provided by them. The street lighting services funded by the District constitute residential street lighting which provides safety lighting and sidewalk and parking illumination for the special benefit of assessed parcels.
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:

2026/2027 Engineer’s Report
Morgan Ranch Unit 7 Benefit Assessment District No. 2003-1 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 2026 was 2.7%.
Morgan Ranch Unit 7
The initial assessment spread created a yearly assessment per dwelling unit of $84.29. It is the intent that each dwelling unit of the entire project share equally in all expenses upon completion.
The 2025/2026 assessment was $480. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2026/2027 is $564.23. The actual total assessment will remain unchanged at $480.00. Based on the total build-out number of parcels and the total assessment needed, the FY 2026/2027 levy will remain at $20.00 per dwelling unit.
The assessment formula is:
Assessment Per Parcel = Round (Total Assessment / # of Parcels)

Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Identify the terms of reimbursement and other conditions for the fire department response away from their official duty station and assigned to an emergency incident as part of the California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA).
CEQA: Not a project
Recommendation: That Council 1) adopt Resolution No. 2026-31, identifying the terms and conditions for the fire departments response away from their official duty station and assigned to emergency incidents as part of California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA); 2) approve revisions to the applicable Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a side letter outlining a fifteen percent (15%) portal-to-portal incentive for eligible employees assigned to (CFAA) strike team, single resource, and overhead assignments when such costs are reimbursable to the City, subject to legal review.
Prepared by: Mark Buttron, Fire Chief
Council Meeting Date: 06/09/2026 Date Prepared: 06/04/2026 Agenda: Consent
Discussion: The California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA) is utilized for response to incidents within California requiring significant resource commitments under the California Fire Service and Rescue Emergency Mutual Aid System. These deployments are most commonly experienced during the wildland fire season when Grass Valley Fire Department fire engines and personnel are assigned throughout the State in support of local government, state, and federal partner agencies.
The CFAA serves as the negotiated reimbursement mechanism for local government fire agency responses under the Mutual Aid System. The agreement establishes the terms, conditions, and methods of reimbursement and is intended to provide consistency in business practices and compensation related to emergency mutual aid deployments.
In compliance with CFAA requirements, participating agencies must provide the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or Resolution establishing that employees are compensated portal-to-portal, meaning from the time of dispatch to the incident through return from the assignment. The proposed compensation revision would authorize a fifteen percent (15%) portal-to-portal incentive for eligible employees assigned to approved reimbursable deployments under CFAA or other applicable interagency agreements.
Portal-to-portal compensation means the incentive applies continuously from the time an employee departs their assigned duty station until they return from the deployment
Item # 9.
assignment.
The proposed incentive would apply only in instances where reimbursement is received through CFAA or other applicable interagency reimbursement mechanisms.
Council Goals/Objectives: This action supports the City Council's Strategic Plan goal of Exceptional Public Safety by ensuring the Grass Valley Fire Department remains eligible to participate in the California mutual aid system, provide emergency response resources throughout the State, and receive reimbursement for deployment-related costs.
Fiscal Impact: The proposed fifteen percent (15%) portal-to-portal deployment incentive will result in additional compensation costs for eligible employees assigned to California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA) strike team, single resource, or overhead assignments. These costs are anticipated to be fully reimbursed to the City through CFAA or other applicable interagency reimbursement mechanisms. While the incentive may generate a minimal amount of additional Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime liability, any such costs are expected to be covered by the administrative reimbursement received as part of the deployment billing process. Therefore, the proposed incentive is not expected to have a material impact on the General, Measure E, and Measure B Funds. Actual reimbursement and associated expenditures will vary based on the number, duration, and type of deployment assignments occurring during the fiscal year.

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 14,085.
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 2026-27 BUDGET OVERVIEW
The following provides a summary of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating Budget, including comparisons to prior year estimated actuals and discussion of recommended changes. On May 26, 2026, the City Council adopted the Preliminary Budget for FY 2026-27 in accordance with City Charter requirements. The final budget presented herein incorporates updated fund schedules previously provided to the City Council and includes budgetary information for all City funds.
Although economic conditions have stabilized in several areas, the City continues to face ongoing financial pressures that impact its fiscal outlook. Persistent inflation continues to increase the cost of energy, goods, and services across all departments. In addition, volatility in CalPERS investment performance and rising amortization payments associated with unfunded pension liabilities continue to place pressure on long-term financial planning. Citywide insurance premiums have also increased, contributing to overall expenditure growth. In response to these challenges, the City remains committed to proactive financial monitoring and prudent fiscal management.
Estimated net operating revenues, excluding transfers, for FY 2026-27 are projected at $47.38 million, compared to estimated revenues of $45.78 million in FY 2025-26. Total planned expenditures for FY 2026-27 are projected at $58.40 million, compared to estimated expenditures of $45.76 million in FY 2025-26.
Citywide Revenues
Total estimated revenues for Fiscal Year 2026-27 are projected to increase by approximately $1.61 million compared to the estimated actual revenues for FY 2025-26. This increase is primarily attributed to anticipated growth in key discretionary revenues sources, including sales tax, property taxes, and other major revenue categories across multiple City funds.
Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budgeted Operating Revenues
Total Revenues = $54,231,160 (net of transfers = $47,384,705) Additional fluctuations in projected revenues are related to the timing of one-time grant funding.
The FY 2026-27 budget includes grant revenues from a variety of sources, including Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), Active Transportation Program (ATP), and Environmental $19,928,982

Enhancement and Community Resilience Grant (ECRG) funding. These grant resources will support several significant capital improvement projects, including street rehabilitation projects, the Wolf Creek ATP Connectivity Project, the McCourtney Road Pedestrian Improvements Project, and the South Auburn and Colfax Roundabout Project. The budget also includes a reduction in funding associated with the final year of the Proposition 64 grant program. Many of these grant revenues are restricted for specific capital projects and, together with transfers from other City funds, provide funding for the City’s Capital Improvement Program.
Citywide Expenditures
Anticipated expenditures for Fiscal Year 2026-27 are projected at $58.40 million, net of interfund transfers. This represents an increase of approximately $12.65 million compared to the estimated $45.76 million in expenditures for FY 2025-26. The majority of this increase is attributable to the City’s recommended $20.88 million Capital Improvement Program.
Key projects included in the capital plan include the Wolf Creek Trail Study, Centreville Bike Park Construction Project, Condon Park Baseball Improvements, Magenta Drain Restoration, sewer lining, and the City’s annual street rehabilitation projects. These investments reflect the City’s continued commitment to maintaining and improving public infrastructure, enhancing community assets, and advancing priority projects throughout the community.
The FY 2026-27 budget also includes full-year funding for all authorized positions. This budgeting approach ensures sufficient appropriation authority is available to maintain service levels and operational readiness without relying on vacancy savings to balance the budget.
Budgeted expenditures by fund type are presented in the table below.
Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budgeted Operating Expenditures
Total Expenditures = $65,250,631 (net of transfers = $58,404,176) Total planned expenditures exceed projected revenues by approximately $11.02 million in FY 2026-27. This difference does not represent an operating deficit; rather, it reflects the planned use of accumulated fund balances and carryover resources, primarily within capital project and special revenue funds, to complete one-time projects and other previously authorized expenditures. The use of these resources is consistent with the purpose for which they were accumulated and supports the City Council’s long-term infrastructure and community investment priorities. $19,946,611

Item # 11.
The budget outlined in this document provides a comprehensive view of citywide operations, organized by fund, and presents detailed financial plans for the upcoming fiscal year. These plans as designed to support the strategic goals and policy direction established by the City Council while maintaining the City’s commitment to long-term fiscal sustainability.
The following sections provide an overview of City’s principal funds and how the role each fund plays in supporting citywide operations and services.
General Fund
Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2025-26 Estimated Actuals $ 19,534,879 $ 19,620,920 $ (86,041) FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget $ 19,928,982 $ 19,946,611 $ (17,630) The FY 2026-27 Preliminary General Fund Budget includes projected revenues of $19,928,982 and expenditures totaling $19,946,611. This results in a minor operational gap of $17,630, which will be covered using General Fund reserves. Representing less than 0.1% of the total budget, this represents a functionally balanced budget despite significant upward pressure from mandated pension and labor costs. Key revenue and expenditure impacts to the City’s General Fund for FY 2026-27 are outlined below.
Key Revenue Impacts
The FY 2026-27 budgeted revenue represents an increase of approximately $394,000 over the projected revenue for FY 2025-26, primarily due to:
• Property Tax: Projected increases in property tax revenues, reflecting ongoing strength in the housing market and development activity.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): TOT revenues stabilizing above prior-year levels, with additional growth projected from upcoming development. • Sales Tax: Projected slight increases over the prior year, maintaining a stable upward trend for the General Fund.
• AB 109 Funds: Increased revenue from an expanded allocation to the Police Department, funding an additional Police Officer dedicated to street-level outreach, case management, participating in collaborative courts, and social work. • Paid Parking Revenue: Implementation of paid parking at the start of the fiscal year, with revenues offsetting a new Police Officer assigned to downtown parking enforcement and downtown/business interfacing.
• Interest Earnings: A slight projected decrease in future interest earnings as maturing or called bonds reinvest at lower rates, though overall yields remain stable and strong. • Reimbursements: Minor reductions in reimbursement and refund accounts due to the elimination of one-time revenues recorded in the prior year.
Key Expenditure Impacts
The FY 2026-27 budgeted expenditures reflect an increase of approximately $325,500 over projected FY 2025-26 expenditures. This increase is primarily due to:
7
Item # 11.
• Labor Costs: Increased funding to support approved citywide salary and benefit adjustments.
• CalPERS Obligations: Significant annual increases in required payments toward the City's unfunded actuarial liability.
• Utilities: Rising operational expenses for fuel, electricity, and water. • Public Safety Staffing: The addition of two Police Officers funded entirely by the new and increased revenues from AB 109 and paid parking.
• Insurance Premiums: Rising expenses for workers’ compensation and general liability insurance, which were partially mitigated by the City electing to participate in the CIRA Fire District Sub-Pool.
• Internal Controls: Operating materials budgets for many departments are being held flat at FY 2025-26 levels to support overall budget stability.
As part of the FY 2026-27 budget development process, the City continues to maintain several key Assigned Reserves within the General Fund to support long-term financial stability and organizational resiliency. These reserves are intended to help the City respond to future financial obligations, unexpected costs, economic uncertainty, and capital needs without significantly impacting ongoing operations or service levels. Current Assigned Reserve balances include:
• 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 reserves provide important financial flexibility in several key areas, including absorbing unexpected increases in pension and retiree health benefit costs, reducing reliance on discretionary General Fund revenues for major capital improvements and deferred maintenance projects, and helping mitigate the impacts of economic downturns or unforeseen revenue reductions.
Maintaining these reserve levels remains an important component of the City’s long-term financial planning strategy.
As of June 30, 2027, total General Fund reserves are projected to be approximately $8.40 million, consisting of both designated and undesignated reserves. Projected reserve balances are summarized below:
$ 5,919,035 Designated Reserves
$ 2,483,167 Undesignated Reserves
$ 8,402,202 Total General Fund Reserves
GF Measure E Sales Tax Fund

general-purpose tax that supports police and fire services, as well as streets and parks projects.
FY 2026-27, budgeted revenue are projected at $8,055,000, representing an increase of approximately $423,390 over FY 2025-26 estimated revenues of $7,631,610. This increase is primarily attributable to the anticipated surplus sale of the current aerial ladder fire truck upon delivery of the replacement apparatus, as well as an expected insurance reimbursement for a damaged police vehicle scheduled for replacement.
FY 2026-27 budgeted expenditures total $10,510,964, representing an increase of approximately $799,000 over estimated FY 2025-26 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, expenditures include the anticipated delivery and payment of a new arial ladder fire truck in the amount of $2.15 million which was ordered in December 2023, as well as a one-time records management system project, including software, server infrastructure, and implementation costs totaling approximately $425,000.
Measure E funds are anticipated to support several key capital and infrastructure projects during FY 2026-27, including:
• Condon Park Improvements
• Loma Rica Trail Improvements
• Magenta Drain Restoration (in conjunction with other funding sources) • Wolf Creek ATP Connectivity Project (in conjunction with other funding sources) • Street Pavement Rehabilitation totaling approximately $930,000 The Measure E Fund provides funding for 18 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, including 9 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 throughout FY 2026-27.
City staff met with the Measure E Oversight Committee on May 19, 2026, to review key elements of the FY 2026-27 budget prior to its final adoption in June.
As of June 30, 2027, the Measure E Fund is projected to have an estimated ending fund balance of $12,995. These remaining funds may be appropriated in future fiscal years for eligible Measure E purposes.
GF Measure B Sales Tax Fund
Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2025-26 Estimated Actuals $ 2,760,000 $ 1,820,923 $ 939,077 FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget $ 2,785,000 $ 3,186,709 $ (401,709) The Measure B Fund 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.
Funding supports additional firefighting personnel, vegetation management, emergency evacuation planning, and related wildfire mitigation initiatives.
For FY 2026-27, projected revenue total $2,785,000, while budgeted expenditures total $3,186,709. As tax collection began in October 2024, FY 2026-27 represents the second full year of Measure B fund program implementation. With staffing levels continuing to be established and 9

foundational program elements being developed, planned expenditures include green waste collection projects, development of long-term green waste disposal solutions, and the launch of a grant program to assist businesses and residents with fuel reduction efforts.
Additional expenditures include the purchase of equipment intended to improve operational flexibility and support multiple fuel reduction initiatives to be identified and implemented throughout the fiscal year.
The Measure B Fund provides funding for 12 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, including 3 FTE in Risk Reduction and 9 FTE in the Fire Department. All Measure B-positions are fully budgeted and assumed to be filled throughout FY 2026-27.
City staff met with the Measure B Oversight Committee on May 19, 2026, to review key elements of the FY 2026-27 budget prior to its anticipated adoption in June.
As of June 30, 2027, the Measure B Fund is projected to have an estimated ended fund balance of $1,770,196, which may be appropriated in future fiscal years to support eligible Measure B initiatives.
Water Enterprise Fund
Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2025-26 Estimated Actuals $ 2,652,394 $ 3,645,849 $ (993,455) FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget $ 2,721,200 $ 3,023,104 $ (301,904) FY 2026-27 Water Fund revenues are projected at $2,721,200, representing a slight increase over FY 2025-26 estimated revenues. The increase in primarily attributable to the approved water rate adjustments adopted as part of the City’s Water Rate Study.
FY 2026-27 budgeted expenditures total $3,023,104, representing a decrease of approximately $622,700 compared to FY 2025-26 estimated expenditures. This reduction is primarily due to the completion of the water main replacement associated with the South Auburn Street Renovation Project, as well as a reduction in the allocation for ongoing maintenance needs at the water treatment plant.
All other operating materials and service budgets are being maintained a levels generally consistent with FY 2025-26 in order to support overall budget stability while the fund continues to be evaluated for future operational and capital needs.
The Water Fund is projected to end FY 2026-27 with an estimated fund balance of approximately $1.23 million. Of this amount, approximately $1.21 million is reserved for specific purposes, leaving an estimated unreserved balance of approximately $22,500. This projection assumes completion of all planned maintenance activities and capital improvement projects by fiscal yearend.
Sewer Enterprise Fund
Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2025-26 Estimated Actuals $ 6,132,692 $ 5,428,946 $ 703,726 FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget $ 6,130,000 $ 10,691,470 $(4,561,470) FY 2026-27 Sewer Fund revenues are projected at $6,130,000, representing a slight decrease from 10
Item # 11.
FY 2025-26 estimated revenues. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced interest earnings as maturing or called bonds are reinvested at lower interest rates, although overall investment yields remain stable.
FY 2026-27 budgeted expenditures total $10,691,470, representing an increase of approximately $5.26 million over FY 2025-26 estimated expenditures. This increase is primarily driven by the carryover and continuation of several major capital improvement projects, including:
• Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades
• Slate Creek Lift Station Project
• Sewer Lining Project
• Taylorville Lift Station Project
FY 2026-27 also marks the first fiscal year in which debt service payments for both the automated meter reading equipment lease, originally executed in 2011, and the 2011 Wastewater Refunding Bonds issued on August 1, 2011, are no longer included in the debt service schedule.
All other operating and service budgets were reviewed and adjusted as necessary to reflect departmental operational needs and anticipated increases in service-related costs.
The Sewer Fund is projected to end FY 2026-27 with an estimated fund balance of approximately $6.36 million. Of this amount, $3.69 million is reserved for specific purposes, leaving an estimated unreserved balance of approximately $2.67 million. This projection assumes completion of all planned capital improvement projects by fiscal year-end.
State of California Gas Tax Fund
Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2025-26 Estimated Actuals $ 1,117,671 $ 1,050,884 $ 66,787 FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget $ 852,593 $ 1,135,000 $ (282,407) The Gas Tax Fund accounts for revenues received from the Highway User Tax Account (HUTA), Senate Bill 1 (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 2026-27, Gas Tax Fund revenues are projected at $852,593, representing a decrease of approximately $265,000 compared to FY 2025-26 estimated revenues. The decrease is primarily attributable to a one-time transfer received in FY 2025-26 from the Special Projects Fund for the Mill Street Parking Lot Project and to reconcile fund balances. Excluding this transfer, projected ongoing Gas Tax revenues would reflect a modest increase of approximately $17,112, generally consistent with scheduled SB 1 rate adjustments.
FY 2026-27 budgeted expenditures total $1,135,000, representing an increase of approximately $84,000 over FY 2025-26 estimated expenditures. Planned appropriations include street rehabilitation projects funded with RMRA revenues, sidewalk repairs, annual street maintenance activities, and transfers to the Traffic Safety Fund to support streetlight utility costs.
The Gas Tax Fund is projected to end FY 2026-27 with an estimated remaining fund balance of approximately $20,730.

Item # 11.
Traffic Safety Fund
Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2025-26 Estimated Actuals $ 191,400 $ 191,400 $ 0
FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget $ 212,000 $ 212,000 $ 0
The Traffic Safety Fund accounts for revenues generated from parking citations and transfers from the Gas Tax Fund, which are primarily used to support citywide streetlight utility costs and related traffic safety expenditures.
Revenues for FY 2026-27 are projected to remain generally consistent with prior year levels, with modest increases reflecting updated estimates for parking citation activity and operating transfers.
Expenditures are also expected to remain stable and are budgeted to fully support ongoing streetlight utility and traffic safety-related costs.
The FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget is structurally balanced, with all projected revenues fully allocated toward planned expenditures. As a result, the Traffic Safety Fund is projected to have no remaining fund balance at the end of FY 2026-27.
Development Fee Projects Fund
Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2025-26 Estimated Actuals $ 444,804 $ 0 $ 444,804
FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget $ 65,000 $ 720,000 $ (655,000) The Development Impact Fee Fund accounts for the receipt and use of AB-1600 Development Impact Fees, which are restricted for nexus-based capital projects intended to mitigate the impacts of new development within the community.
Development Impact Fee Fund revenues for FY 2026-27 are projected to consist primarily of interest earnings, estimated at approximately $65,000. Because development activity and related fee collections can fluctuate significantly from year to year, revenues will continue to be monitored, and the budget may be adjusted during the fiscal year as additional information becomes available.
The FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget includes expenditures for three Development Impact Fee eligible projects: the Storm Drain Master Plan, the Bennett & Ophir Circulation Project, and the Centennial Drive Realignment Project. These are the only projects currently budgeted within the Development Impact Fee Fund for FY 2026-27. If any of these projects are not completed during the fiscal year, the remaining appropriations are expected to be carried forward into FY 2027-28, subject to City Council approval.
The Development Impact Fee Fund is projected to maintain an estimated ending fund balance of approximately $2.36 million as of June 30, 2027. These funds remain legally restricted for eligible future capital improvement projects associated with growth and development impacts.
Capital Improvements Projects Fund
Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2025-26 Estimated Actuals $ 7,611,866 $ 7,000,615 $ 611,251 FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget $ 11,789,543 $ 11,789,543 $ 0 12
Item # 11.
The Capital Projects Fund accounts for most non-enterprise capital improvement projects citywide. While the General Fund primarily supports day-to-day operations and municipal services, the Capital Projects Fund provides a centralized mechanism for managing multi-year and multi-funded capital projects. This structure supports legal compliance, financial transparency, asset tracking, and efficient project management.
Capital projects are generally funded through restricted or non-discretionary revenue sources, including grants, development impact fees, and transfers from other City funds.
For FY 2026-27, Capital Projects Fund revenues and expenditures are both budgeted at approximately $11.79 million. Project appropriations have been updated to reflect current cost estimates, project schedules, and anticipated funding availability.
Major new and continuing projects included in the FY 2026-27 Capital Projects Fund include:
• Wolf Creek Trail Study
• Wolf Creek ATP Connectivity Project
• Condon Park Baseball Improvements
• Centreville Bike Park Construction Project
• Magenta Drain Restoration Project
• McCourtney Road Pedestrian Improvements
• Annual Street Rehabilitation Program
• South Auburn and Colfax Roundabout Project
These projects are funded through a combination of grant sources, including Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), Active Transportation Program (ATP), and Environmental and Climate Resiliency Grants (ECRG), as well as transfers from other City funds, including the General Fund, Measure E Fund, Gas Tax Fund, Traffic Safety Fund, Developer Impact Fee Fund, and Special Projects Fund.
Special Projects Fund
Revenues Expenditures Net
FY 2025-26 Estimated Actuals $ 1,260,202 $ 1,565,766 $ (305,564) FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget $ 160,000 $ 2,561,876 $ (2,401,876) The Special Projects Fund accounts for capital improvement projects that are funded through designated revenue sources outside of the City’s primary operating funds. For FY 2026-27, projected revenues primarily consist of interest earnings and Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee (RTMF) revenues received from the County of Nevada.
The significant increase in expenditures for FY 2026-27 is primarily attributable to the planned use of previously accumulated funding for major park and recreation improvement projects. In FY 2021-22, the City issued approximately $6 million in debt financing dedicated to future park improvements. To date, approximately $3.88 million of those proceeds has been expended on approved capital improvement projects.
The FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget recommends allocating the remaining approximately $2.2 13
Item # 11.
million toward three major capital improvement projects:
• Centreville Bike Park Project
• Lyman Gilmore lighting and site improvements
• Condon Park baseball improvement projects
In addition, approximately $300,000 is budgeted for transfer to the Capital Projects Fund to support the Wolf Creek ATP Connectivity Project.
Following the planned use of these funds, the Special Projects Fund is projected to maintain an estimated ending fund balance of approximately $3.23 million as of June 30, 2027. Remaining fund balance will be available to support future capital improvement needs and other eligible projects.
General Fund Multi-Year Forecast
To evaluate the City’s long-term ability to sustain current service levels and program delivery, a Multi-Year Forecast has been prepared for the General Fund, which serves as the primary funding source for most non-enterprise municipal services. This forecast is intended to function as a strategic planning tool to assess fiscal sustainability and identify potential long-term financial challenges.
The forecast incorporates a variety of known cost drivers, including negotiated salary adjustments, projected increases in CalPERS retirement contributions, annual allocations for capital projects and infrastructure maintenance, and moderate growth in other operational expenditures. On the revenue side, the model applies conservative growth assumptions to key discretionary revenue sources, including property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, and franchise fees.
The purpose of the forecast is to provide a clear understanding of the City’s ability to maintain existing service levels under anticipated economic conditions and to support informed long-term financial planning decisions. As reflected in the forecast model, the General Fund is projected to close Fiscal Year 2026-27 with a slight operating deficit of approximately $17,629. Although an $(307,963)

additional deficit is projected in FY 2027-28, forecasted activity beginning in FY 2028-29 indicates a return to positive annual operating balances, assuming current revenue and expenditure trends continue.
The forecast is based on several conservative fiscal planning assumptions, including scheduled salary step increases under current labor agreements, estimated personnel costs, and moderate growth in general operating expenditures. The model also reflects only those salary increases formally approved by the City Council. Actual personnel and pension-related costs may vary depending on future labor negotiations, staffing levels, and other operational factors.
CalPERS-related expenditures remain one of the most significant cost drivers impacting the General Fund. Based on current actuarial projections and employer contribution schedules, annual pension-related costs for both safety and miscellaneous employee classifications are projected to range from approximately $2.91 million to $3.18 million through FY 2029-30. These projections include both normal cost contributions and required unfunded accrued liability (UAL) payments.
In addition, CalPERS has identified the potential for increased rate volatility in future years as investment returns fluctuate and actuarial assumptions evolve. As a result, actual pension costs could increase at a faster pace than currently modeled, representing a significant long-term fiscal risk. These obligations are established by CalPERS and are not subject to local negotiation or reduction through City Council action. Accordingly, the forecast should be viewed not as a guarantee of future financial outcomes, but as a planning tool intended to identify potential structural budget challenges early and support proactive decision-making.
Although the forecast reflects an improving fiscal outlook beginning in FY 2028-29, continued caution is warranted. Economic uncertainty, ongoing pension cost pressures, and potential funding obligations associated with Measure E continue to present meaningful long-term fiscal challenges.
Ongoing conservative fiscal management, regular monitoring of financial conditions, and periodic updates to the forecast model will remain essential to maintaining the long-term sustainability of General Fund operations.
