CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648
CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:

I am pleased to present the FY 2026/27 Requested Budget for the City of Huntington Beach. This budget reflects a deliberate and measured approach to navigating ongoing fiscal pressures while continuing to align resources with the City’s long-term priorities, consistent with the City Charter:
“We, the people of the City of Huntington Beach, State of California believe fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds is essential for confidence in government, that ethics and integrity are the foundation of public trust and that just governance is built upon these values.”
Huntington Beach was ranked No. 34 overall in WalletHub’s Best-Run Cities in America study and No. 1 for quality of city services. The City’s “AAA” credit rating, most recently affirmed by Fitch Ratings on September 8, 2025, provides independent confirmation of the financial discipline and stewardship demonstrated by the City Council, leadership team, and staff.

In recent years, the City has successfully managed a series of escalating cost pressures, including employee compensation and insurance increases, inflationary impacts on operations and capital programs, and rising CalPERS pension obligations. While these efforts have preserved core services, they have also highlighted the need for a more structured and sustained approach to aligning ongoing resources with ongoing commitments.

The FY 2026/27 Requested Budget is balanced and totals $590.0 million across all funds. This represents a $33.3 million, or 6.0 percent increase, over the FY 2025/26 Adopted All Funds Budget of $556.6 million. Although the budget is balanced for the coming year, current expenditure trends continue to exceed recurring revenue growth, reinforcing the need for continued discipline and long-term planning.

To balance the Requested FY 2026/27 budget, the City implemented a series of targeted actions, including personnel adjustments, deferring and reducing transfers to other funds, and prioritizing equipment replacement funding. In addition, fund balance was used to close the remaining gap.

These actions are intended as transitional measures rather than permanent solutions.

To support this approach, a formal fund balance policy will be proposed with the Adopted Budget to guide the strategic and appropriate use of reserves. The City will also continue to implement managed hiring practices to ensure staffing decisions remain aligned with available resources and organizational priorities. Together, these actions represent a more structured framework for stabilizing operations and reducing reliance on one-time solutions.

This budget represents a shift from short-term balancing strategies toward a more proactive and deliberate effort to address longer-term financial alignment. The approach prioritizes maintaining essential service levels while creating the capacity to evaluate operational efficiencies, funding 2 transmittal letter
Transmittal Letter City of Huntington Beach | Proposed Budget 2026-2027 strategies, and potential adjustments over time. Importantly, this year’s requested budget does not assume deep reductions in service levels that would significantly impact the community or the organization.

Requested FY 2026/27 General Fund expenditures total $327.3 million and are supported by equivalent resources. The Requested General Fund Budget represents a $27.8 million, or 9.3 percent increase compared to the FY 2025/26 adopted of $299.4 million.

The General Fund remains the City’s primary operating fund, supporting core municipal services such as public safety, parks, recreation, and libraries. It accounts for discretionary revenues and expenditures, while other funds support enterprise operations, internal service functions, capital improvement projects, and legally restricted special revenue sources.

General Fund Revenue Highlights
The following are highlights of major General Fund Revenues:
☐ Property Tax, the City’s largest General Fund revenue source, remains strong and is projected to increase by $3.1 million, or 2.7% for total expected revenue of $116.9 million. This growth is primarily driven by increases in assessed property values. ☐ Sales Tax, the City’s second largest General Fund revenue source, is projected to decrease by $0.3 million. This trend became noticeable in FY 2024/25 and is expected to continue into FY 2026/27, driven in part by weaker automobile sales and lower related sales tax activity. Broader economic conditions may also be contributing, including relatively high consumer loan rates, tariff uncertainty and possible supply chain effects, continued pressure on vehicle prices, and softer consumer sentiment, all of which can reduce willingness to make large purchases. ☐ Use of Money and Property is projected to increase by $3.6 million from the prior year. This increase is mainly due to higher pooled cash interest earnings, along with lease income, beach concessions, and revenues from the Fourth of July celebration.

3 transmittal letter
City of Huntington Beach | Proposed Budget 2026-2027 Transmittal Letter ☐ Revenue from Other Agencies is projected to increase $2.0 million. This increase is driven largely by the Voluntary Rate Range Program (VRRP), which allows CalOptima Health to secure additional Medi-Cal dollars for the City and other California public agencies. Other increases include fire strike team reimbursements, a County recycling payment, vehicle license fee revenues, and Tidelands revenues.
☐ Non-Operating Revenue is projected to increase by $17.2 million. The incorporation of identifying the use of fund balance accounts for $15.6 million, and the other $1.6 million is primarily due to one-time revenues from the Waterfront settlement.
☐ Charges for Current Services are projected to increase by $0.9 million from the prior year. This increase is mainly due to higher anticipated building plan reviews, expedited plan reviews, fire company inspections, and a change in allocation within the Water and Sewer enterprise funds. ☐ Franchise Fees are projected to decrease by $0.5 million, due largely to continued declines in cable television subscriptions as more residents shift to streaming services, reducing cable franchise revenues.

Revenue projections are based on conservative assumptions to ensure the City has adequate financial resources to meet obligations and complete the programs approved by the City Council.

General Fund Expenditure Highlights
The increase in the General Fund expenditure budget of $27.8 million is primarily driven by personnel costs, which account for $20.6 million of the total increase. This growth is largely attributable to $8.8 million in increased CalPERS costs, $7.2 million from the removal of budgeted vacancy savings, $2.9 million in overtime, and the remaining $1.7 million includes increased salary compensations, payouts, and employee benefits.

The top five non-personnel cost drivers contributing to the overall increase include the following:
☐ State of California expenses increased by $1.4 million, primarily due to costs associated with the VRRP administered through CalOptima, which will be fully offset by increased revenues. ☐ Other Professional Services increased by $1.0 million, largely due to investments in economic development initiatives, higher costs for contracted dispatch services, and psychological consulting services for public safety personnel.
☐ Other Contract Services increased by $700 thousand, driven mainly by cyclical election costs and increased animal control service costs.
☐ Janitorial Contract Services increased by $650 thousand to maintain current service levels and address rising contract costs across City facilities. ☐ General Supplies increased by $650 thousand, primarily due to a cost shift of AXON body-worn cameras, tasers, and evidence-related supplies from the Equipment Replacement Fund to the operating budget.

Changes in the personnel budget include eliminating 13.0 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) vacant positions, unfunding 15.0 vacant police officer positions, and adding 1.0 Lieutenant.

As part of the FY 2026/27 budget balancing strategy, the City proposes to eliminate the following vacant positions: 1.0 Senior Fire Prevention Inspector, 1.0 Deputy Community Prosecutor, 1.0 Public Affairs Officer, 1.0 Senior Code Enforcement Officer, 1.0 Senior GIS Analyst, 0.5 Senior Administrative Assistant in Finance, 1.0 Information Technology Manager, 1.0 Principal Librarian, 1.0 Community & Library Services Coordinator, 1.5 Library Services Assistants, 1.0 Senior Public Works Maintenance Worker, 1.0 Senior Mechanic, and 1.0 Lead Fleet Maintenance Mechanic. These reductions lower ongoing personnel costs while aiming to preserve essential City services. In addition, 8.0 vacant Police Officer positions and 1.0 vacant Police Communications Operator that were previously unfunded are being formally removed from the City’s authorized staffing levels to better align the FTE count with current operational funding.

Other changes in reported staffing include reclassifications, the reassignment of personnel between departments, and the implementation of a new budgeting methodology that allocates payroll costs directly to improve the accuracy of forecasted budget values.

City of Huntington Beach | Proposed Budget 2026-2027 Transmittal Letter Protecting the Community
Public safety remains the City’s highest priority, reflecting its commitment to protecting the community and maintaining essential services. This priority is demonstrated by the allocation of 53 cents of every General Fund dollar toward public safety. With more than half of the General Fund budget committed to the Police and Fire Departments, the City has dedicated a significant share of its resources, totaling $172.5 million, to these core services to help ensure the safety and protection of the community.

Police
The FY 2026/27 Requested Budget for the Police Department includes an additional $650k for body-worn cameras, tasers, training, and supplies, as well as approximately $233k for helicopter related equipment. In addition, the General Fund equipment budget totals $1.5 million and includes 5 administrative vehicles, 5 patrol vehicles, 1 motorcycle, drones, vests, gas masks, rifles, and communication gear.

Fire
The FY 2026/27 Requested Budget for the Fire Department includes an additional $1.4 million for payments to VRRP and CalOptima, which will be fully offset by increased revenues, and $428k for higher professional services costs, primarily related to the dispatch contract with the City of Anaheim. In addition, the General Fund equipment budget totals $1.5 million and includes PPE-related items, the remaining partial funding for marine safety rescue boats renovations, vests, tools, a Honda side-by-side ATV, a trailer, and a dispatch console.

Fiscal Responsibility and Transparency
The City continues to do an outstanding job of financial planning and reporting in a transparent and open manner. In 2025, the City was recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) with the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

Transmittal Letter City of Huntington Beach | Proposed Budget 2026-2027 of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.

The City also received the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the FY 2025/26 Budget and the Popular Annual Financial Reporting Award for the City’s Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR). To receive these prestigious awards, the City’s budget document, PAFR and ACFR are required to satisfy rigorous nationally recognized guidelines. Governments who receive all three recognitions are named a Triple Crown Winner, and the City of Huntington Beach recently received this special designation.

Per Charter Section 401(c), the City Manager must “prepare and submit to the City Council at the end of each fiscal year, a complete report on the finances of the City, and annually or more frequently, a current report of the principal administrative activities of the City.” The FY 2026/27 Requested Budget fulfills this requirement as both a financial report and a report that details the goals, accomplishments, and ongoing initiatives of the City.

Conclusion
The adoption of the City’s budget is one of the most important responsibilities of the City Council, as it sets the financial and operational direction for the year ahead.

The FY 2026/27 Requested Budget reflects a period of transition. While the City continues to experience rising costs, particularly in personnel, pensions, and operations, this budget takes deliberate steps to address these pressures while maintaining essential services for the community.

The approach this year emphasizes discipline, prioritization, and the thoughtful use of available resources.

This budget also represents a shift toward a more structured path forward. Temporary measures have been used where necessary, but the focus is on creating a sustainable framework that better aligns ongoing revenues with ongoing expenditures over time. This includes the continued use of managed hiring, the proposed development of a formal fund balance policy, and ongoing evaluation of service delivery and operational efficiencies.

The City enters this fiscal year with strong fundamentals, including a highly capable workforce, a history of sound financial management, and the continued support and leadership of the City Council. These strengths position the City well to navigate current pressures while making informed decisions for the future.

I appreciate the City Council’s continued leadership and commitment to fiscal stewardship.

Working together, we will continue to address these challenges in a measured and responsible way while preserving the services that our community relies on.

Sincerely,
Travis Hopkins
City Manager

Huntington Beach is also the destination for the Pacific Airshow - the only beachfront air show on the West Coast. Held in September/October, it includes the CF Snowbirds, USAF F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team, and the USAF Thunderbirds, among many others. This unique airshow has gained tremendous popularity since premiering in October 2016 and now attracts a crowd of over 1.2 million from around the world to view the three-day event which includes live music performed at the beach and over–the-water aerobatic demonstrations.

Joint Youth Training Center
The City’s Police and Fire Departments broke ground on a new Joint Youth Training Center which replaces the existing 50-year-old Search & Rescue structure. This state-of-the-art training center will be home to the City’s Fire & Police Explorer Program and provide a much-needed space to train the City’s future public safety leaders. The Explorer programs are vital in teaching the City’s youth not only the technical skills necessary to pursue a career in public safety, but also leadership and character building that will benefit the youth regardless of what career path they choose to pursue.

Infrastructure Report Card
The City prepared an infrastructure Report Card that serves as a high-level summary to highlight the current condition of the City’s infrastructure. This report card assigned grades (A-F) to various infrastructure categories communicating the status of each and identifying priorities for improvement. Resident participation was sought through the Outreach and Communications Committee that is made up of 100 Huntington Beach residents who acted as ambassadors in the process through their networks. This promotes resident participation, education, and awareness of the project both during the assessments and after the final report is released.

One Stop Shop
The City is in the process of developing a “One Stop Shop” to facilitate the permitting process. The new “One Stop Shop” will provide applicants with direct and efficient permitting guidance through a dedicated team of Streamline Surf City Specialists. The Streamline Surf City team aims to make the permitting process more efficient so that businesses and residents experience quicker and easier access in acquiring permits for business licenses, short-term rentals and building permits.

The intent of the organization is to provide a formal mechanism by which the Authority can fund these activities, require non-members using the Training Facility to pay for use of the facility and, accordingly, provide the highest possible level of fire suppression, fire prevention, technical rescue, hazardous materials and emergency medical training. It is also intended to foster cooperation among the parties and serves as a vehicle for the scheduling and funding of training seminars and classes.

BID Hotel/Motel (Visit Huntington Beach) (Fund 709)
In December 2018, the City Council approved a 10-year self-imposed Business Improvement District (BID) for the Hotels and Motels within the City of 4% on top of the City’s 10% TOT fees (effective 2/1/19). This fund is increasing due to the increase of the 1%. This is an estimate, it will be 4% of what the City’s expected revenue amount of TOT.

BID - Downtown (Fund 710)
All Downtown merchants have a self-assessment through the Business Improvement District (BID) that the City Council approves annually, the BID was re-authorized for the timeframe of October 1 to September 30. The City collects the fees and redistributes it back to the District.

The Downtown BID also has Surf City Nights and manages the Malco Agreement with the City, which is not reflected in the budget.

City of Huntington Beach | Proposed Budget 2026-2027 Fund Descriptions Donations Fund (Fund 103)
This fund is a special revenue fund established to account for donations received by the City from individuals, organizations, or other entities. These funds are restricted for specific programs, projects, or departmental uses in accordance with donor intent and applicable regulations.

Revenues consist of voluntary contributions, and expenditures are limited to purposes designated by the donor, such as community programs, public safety support, recreation activities, or other City services. The fund is non-discretionary in nature, and activity is dependent on the timing and amount of donations received.

Inmate Welfare (Fund 122)
The California Penal Code Section 4025 allows for the City’s Chief of Police to maintain a fund for the benefit, education, entertainment, support, and welfare of the inmates confined within the City Jail. The funds come from the intake of commissions received from the inmate pay phone service contract.

Property Tax in Lieu of Sales Tax (Fund 127)
Under Proposition 57, which was approved by voters in 2004, the State of California was authorized to issue up to $15 billion in economic recovery bonds (ERBs) to address the State’s budget shortfall. To repay the ERBs, the State pledged one-quarter cent of sales tax, which was replaced with a one-quarter cent special fund sales tax for repayment of the bonds. To keep counties and cities whole, the State replaced the diverted local sales taxes with property taxes shifted from school and community college districts, whose losses, in turn, were minimized by increased state education aid under the Proposition 98 minimum guarantee. This series of revenue exchanges is commonly referred to as the “triple flip,” and continued until the ERBs were paid. In July 2016, the City of Huntington Beach received the final payment under the “triple flip,” which was set aside in Fund 127 to be used for replacement of the City’s Enterprise Land Management System (ELM) and acquisition and retrofit of City streetlights to LED.

Lot BB Buffer Maintenance (Fund 1287)
Lot BB Buffer Maintenance is a special revenue fund established to account for revenues and expenditures associated with the maintenance of landscaped buffer areas related to the Lot BB site. Funding is derived from agreements, leases, or assessments tied to the property, and is restricted for the upkeep of landscaping, irrigation, and related improvements that serve as a buffer between development and surrounding areas. Expenditures are limited to maintenance and operational costs necessary to preserve the condition and functionality of the buffer area. The fund is non-discretionary and activity is dependent on the terms of the associated agreements and required maintenance obligations.

Property & Evidence (Fund 216)
The Property & Evidence Fund is for unclaimed cash and the proceeds from unclaimed property which has been auctioned or salvaged.

Department Description
The office of the City Clerk consists of an Elected City Clerk, Assistant City Clerk, two Senior Deputy Clerks, Municipal Records Manager, Records Specialist and four Passport Agents.

The office of the City Clerk exists not for itself, but to carry out the work that the public is entitled to receive.

Legal Authority and Civic Purpose of the Office of the City Clerk The Elected City Clerk serves as the Charter-mandated, voter-authorized officer responsible for ensuring these statutory functions are carried out with accuracy and continuity.

The Office of the City Clerk is a Charter -established institution whose authority derives from the voters and from California State law. Through the City Charter, the Elections Code, the Public Records Act, the Brown Act, and the Political Reform Act, the Office of the City Clerk is legally responsible for maintaining legislative records, administering municipal elections, and ensuring public access to information. These laws define the Office’s role in protecting the integrity of local democracy by requiring neutrality, accuracy, and continuity, and they guarantee the public’s right to transparent decision making, lawful processes, and accountable government.

Organizational Structure and Core Functions
The Office of the City Clerk is structured into divisions that carry out the legal responsibilities assigned by the City Charter and California State law. Professional staff in these divisions administer legislative operations, records management, election administration, and passport acceptance. This structure ensures residents receive transparent decision making, dependable public records, and lawful democratic processes that protect their right to access information and review government actions.

Legislative Operations Division
Protects the public’s right to know how laws are made.
“No other office in municipal service has so many
contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager, and all administrative departments, without
exception. All of them call upon the office of the City Clerk, daily, for some service or information. Its work demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience. The public does not realize how many loose
ends of city administration this office pulls together.” The eminent political scientist, Professor
William Bennett Munro.

Lisa Lane Barnes, City Clerk

The Legislative Operations Division carries out statutory responsibilities requiring the City Clerk to maintain the official record of City Council proceedings, certify ordinances and resolutions, and document legislative actions. This division prepares agendas, records Council actions, maintains the official minutes, and enforces compliance with the Brown Act. Through this work, residents can see how decisions are made, track the actions taken by their elected officials, and access and examine the permanent legislative record.

Records Management Division
Protects the public’s right to access accurate and reliable public records.

Government Code § 40801 requires the City Clerk to keep all official city records, and Government Code §§ 34090 and 34090.5 authorizes the lawful retention, destruction, and electronic preservation of those records. Government Code § 12236 further requires local agencies to maintain an active records management program, while the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code § 7920.000 et seq.) guarantees public access to those records. This division preserves, organizes, and provides access to public documents so residents can verify government actions, request information, and examine the City’s historical and legal records. These statutory duties prevent the loss, alteration, or concealment of public information and uphold the public’s right to transparency.

Election Administration Division
Protects the public’s right to fair, lawful, and accessible elections.

Under the California Elections Code, the City Clerk is the local elections official responsible for administering municipal elections, managing candidate filings, processing ballot measures, and enforcing campaign disclosure laws. The Elections Code grants the City Clerk legal authority over all aspects of municipal election administration. This division provides every voter with a lawful democratic process and a transparent record of election actions.

Passport Acceptance Division
Provides federally authorized identity services that support residents’ access to international travel.

As a designated Passport Acceptance Facility under the U.S. Department of State, the Office of the City Clerk verifies identity documents and processes passport applications in compliance with federal law. This function reflects the Office’s broader legal responsibility to handle sensitive documents with accuracy, confidentiality, and integrity. This division provides a secure and reliable service to residents, ensuring lawful processing of identity documents.

Department Description
The City of Huntington Beach operates under a Council-

3. Enhance inclusive prosperity by promoting attainable housing, preserving quality neighbor- hoods, providing necessary public services and facilities, and creating job opportunities by growing the local economy.

The Community Development Department is
comprised of two primary areas: Development
Services and Community Enhancement. Development
Services consist of the following divisions: Planning,
Building and the Permit Center. Community
Enhancement includes Housing, Code Enforcement,
Economic Development, and Real Estate Services.

The Department maintains operations in a team-ori-
ented manner with humility, social awareness, passion
for service, and integrity through the provision of
services that reflect the goals of the City Council
and community while ensuring the health, safety,
and welfare of the public.

Planning Commission
The Planning Commission is a quasi-judicial decision-making body with authority over development proposals that require discretionary permits. Each City Council member makes an individual appointment to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission meets twice a month. The City’s budget accounts for the Planning Commission as its own separate division to account for meeting expenses as well as provide educational and conference/workshop opportunities for Planning Commissioners.

Development Services
Development Services is responsible for a myriad of services that promote a quality-built environment including the following divisions: Planning, Permit Center, and Building.

Planning Division
The Planning Division is responsible for
Entitlement Processing (i.e. Current Planning)
and Policy and Ordinance Development (i.e.

Advance/ Long Range Planning). Current
Planning is responsible for coordinating the
review of development proposals to ensure
compliance with the City’s General Plan and
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance as well
as Federal and State regulations. This effort
includes processing applications for entitle-
ments (permits, subdivisions, variances, etc.),
environmental review, and plan check services. Advance Planning involves updating the City’s General Plan, Local Coastal Program and Specific Plans.

Permit Center & Building Divisions
The Permit Center and Building Divisions are responsible for Permit & Plan Check and Inspection activities. Staff in this Division are responsible for processing applications for building permits to allow construction to commence, intake of plans, routing plans, reviewing plans to ensure the design is compliant with the California Building Code, conducting structural calculations, and permit issuance. A range of projects from minor residential improvements to ground up construction of major commercial endeavors come through the permit counter. Streamline Surf City is a program that was designed to provide collaboration between City specialists across multiple departments to assist residents and business owners through the permit process.The effort of Streamline Surf City is largely managed by the Permit Center.

Inspection Services ensures projects are
constructed pursuant to the approved plans
once a permit has been issued. The purpose
of inspections is to safeguard construction
in town from unsafe work, protecting the
owners and occupants of buildings. Once a
construction project has passed all inspections
and is complete, a Certificate of Occupancy
is issued for non-residential buildings and the
permit is finaled for residential construction.

Building Inspectors most often work directly
with contractors but occasionally will interact
with owners on an owner-builder situation.

Community Enhancement
Community Enhancement oversees key services that enhance the City’s quality of life, including Code Enforcement, Economic Development, Housing, and Real Estate Services. These divisions work together to maintain safe neighborhoods, support local businesses, and manage the City’s real estate assets.

The newly established Real Estate Services Division continued to expand efforts to ensure consistent, efficient, and compliant administration of the City’s property portfolio. The Division consists of a Project Manager and a Management Analyst and is funded through offsetting reductions across other divisions within the department. This structure strengthens inter departmental collaboration and improves the management of City owned real estate.

Department Descriptions
The mission of the Community & Library Services Department is to provide outstanding programs, services and facilities that enhance and enrich the lives of our residents and visitors and to welcome, empower, and enrich our community by providing innovative and traditional library services that inspire and encourage transformation and growth.

The Community & Library Services Department
carries out this mission by providing a
full spectrum of year-round and seasonal
recreational, cultural, human, and library services
programs. These include special events at the
City’s parks, beaches, and community facilities,
including major annual events, such as the U.S.

Open of Surfing and the Pacific Airshow. The
Department also manages the City’s off-street
parking lots, the Main Promenade Parking
Structure, and all on-street metered parking
throughout the City. The Department partici -
pates on 17 boards, commissions, committees,
foundations, task forces and community groups. Traditional library services continue to provide seniors, children, and students a book and information rich environment, while our literacy programs and online presence use evolving tools to help users change their (and our) future.

Community & Library Services Administration
Administration oversees and supports the functions of the Department’s four operating divisions.

This includes strategic planning, supervision, budget preparation, accounts payable/ receivable, and clerical services. Administration responds to community concerns and inquiries, serves as the primary liaison to a wide variety of community groups, implements City Council policies, and ensures quality control on a department-wide basis for all of our programs and services.

Administration creates public and private partner -
ships with corporations, agencies, and non-profits
such as the Huntington Beach Council on Aging
(HBCOA), Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian,
Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center, and All for
Kids Organization, formerly Children’s Bureau of
Southern California, that allow the City to provide
a higher level of service and a greater number of
programs. Support staff process requisitions and
refunds, perform payroll and hiring functions, and
assist with drafting Requests for Council Action
(RCAs), Requests for Legal Services (RLS), contracts,
and concession leases.

Department Descriptions
The Huntington Beach Fire Department provides the highest quality fire, marine safety and emergency medical services to protect the community. A balanced approach to life safety, data driven community risk reduction and property protection supports this mission. The Department provides “all-risk” services and response for fire suppression, community risk reduction, technical rescue, hazardous materials and weapons of mass destruction, disaster preparedness, marine safety, emergency medical and ambulance transport. Fire training is provided through the regional Central Net Training Center. The FireMed paramedic subscription program reduces or eliminates out of pocket expenses for patients while offsetting the cost of delivering emergency medical services.

Fire Administration
The purpose of the Fire Administration Division is to provide management, research, clerical, financial, and records support for all Fire Department programs. Fire Administration establishes and modifies Fire Department strategies, tactics, and policies; administers the Central Net Operations Authority Training Center; and is a member of MetroNet, a seven-city Joint Powers Authority for fire and medical emergency communications. The Fire Department is also a member of the Orange County-City Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Authority.

Community Risk Reduction
The Community Risk Reduction (CRR) Division has responsibility for enforcing local, state, and federal codes to reduce the loss of life and property from preventable fires and other emergencies. This is accomplished by providing comprehensive inspections, plan review services, public education, fire investigations and public engagement. The CRR Division works closely with the business community, other City departments, and fire companies to ensure the safety of residents and response personnel and to protect the economic well-being of the City. The Division reviews and approves plans and performs inspections on all new development projects to ensure compliance with the Fire Code. CRR staff, along with Fire Operations inspectors, conduct life safety inspections to determine compliance with the Fire Code, review and approve development, life safety, and system plans to maintain compliance with the Fire Code and other regulations. Oil inspections are conducted to enforce regulations in the Huntington Beach Oil Code. The Division operates the Hazardous Materials Business Plan Program (HMBP) as a Participating Agency to the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). The HMBP Program is responsible for identifying, inspecting, and monitoring 686 businesses that use and store hazardous materials. In addition, CRR Division conducts public safety outreach and performs free Home Safety Visits by requesting to install smoke alarms and CO detectors, identify unsafe fire and tripping hazards, and talk about local hazards like earthquake and drowning prevention.

Emergency Response and Marine Safety
The Emergency Response Division provides a professionally trained and well-equipped emergency force for fire, medical, rescue, hazardous materials response and Marine Safety. This Division conducts annual life safety inspections, education programs, fire service training and apparatus, equipment and fire station maintenance. Emergency response is delivered from eight stations that are strategically located to provide for timely emergency responses. Paramedic engine companies, staffed by four personnel, are in each of the stations, Marine Safety Headquarters and the Marine Safety Training Center. This configuration provides a uniform level of life safety protection for fire and emergency medical calls to meet the rapidly increasing call volumes the City has been experiencing over a number of years. Additionally, two truck companies, two State Office of Emergency Services (OES) engines, a hazardous materials response vehicle, an Urban Search and Rescue (USAR)/light and air vehicle, Type 1 USAR, Type 1 Hazmat, Type 1 Mass Decontamination Unit, eight City operated emergency transport units and a Battalion Chief/shift commander complete the 24-hour emergency response capabilities. The Division also includes the Emergency Management and Homeland Security Office, which develops and coordinates special event management and disaster plans and programs for businesses, schools, civic groups, and the public.

The Marine Safety Division is responsible for aquatic rescue and drowning prevention along the City’s coastline, with a primary focus on surf rescue operations in a dynamic and high-risk ocean environment. Building on this core mission, the Marine Safety Division delivers aquatic rescue, emergency medical services, enforcement of applicable laws, municipal codes, public education, and drowning prevention. These efforts protect life, property, and the environment.

Marine Safety provides year-round coverage across the City’s beaches, harbor, and offshore areas.

The division is staffed by 20 permanent personnel and supported by approximately 200+ highly trained recurrent ocean lifeguards. In addition, Marine Safety maintains specialized response capabilities through its Swiftwater Rescue Team and Public Safety Dive Team, both of which are deployable 365 days a year to support complex and high-risk incidents.

Department Descriptions
The Human Resources Department delivers essential internal services to all City departments and employees. We believe that people are an organization’s greatest asset and seek to hire, retain and develop quality employees to achieve the City’s goals.

Human Resources Department Overview
The Human Resources Department is responsible for a variety of operational functions, including recruitment and retention, employee relations, health and retirement benefits administration, disability leave and return-to-work management, and classification and compensation. Human Resources works with the City Manager’s Office to build and maintain strong labor relations with the City’s eight labor groups, plus the non-represented employees, and provides administrative support for the activities of the City of Huntington Beach Personnel Commission.

Human Resources oversees a comprehensive risk management program designed to minimize the City’s exposure to liability and related costs, including workers’ compensation and liability claims administration, citywide insurance administration, loss prevention, and employee safety.

These services are provided in compliance with Federal and State labor and employment laws, the City of Huntington Beach Charter, Municipal Code, Personnel Rules & Regulations, and the collectively bargained Memoranda of Understanding.

Patrol Division
The Patrol Division is the most visible component
of the Police Department and performs core law
enforcement functions. It is comprised of both sworn
and civilian personnel and includes Uniform Patrol,
Downtown Patrol, the Canine Unit, the seasonal Beach
Detail, and the DFR (Drone First Responder) Program.

Five (5) lieutenants serve as area commanders
assigned to geographical locations within the city.

Patrol officers are assigned to designated
geographic areas, known as beats, where they
respond to calls for service, document incidents
and crimes, conduct self-initiated contacts, and
manage critical incidents. Twelve patrol squads
provide 24-hour citywide coverage.

The Downtown Patrol Unit’s primary function is to respond to calls for service, conduct proactive enforcement, and address quality-of-life concerns within the downtown business district, Pacific City, Pier Plaza, resort hotels, and the beach areas.

The Canine Unit supports patrol operations through the use of specially trained dogs that track and apprehend suspects and detect narcotics. The unit enhances officer safety and serves as a valuable asset in maintaining public safety and enforcing the law.

The Beach Detail is a unit of officers deployed to patrol the beach during the summer months.

Officers patrol the beach to ensure the safety and well-being of beachgoers. They maintain a visible presence and help prevent crime, manage large crowds, and promote a safe and enjoyable environment.

The DFR (Drone First Responder) Program utilizes unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assess situations before patrol officers arrive on scene. Equipped with cameras, these drones provide real-time aerial views of accidents, crimes in progress, and missing persons. The program enhances public safety, improves situational awareness, and allows for more informed decision-making and efficient allocation of resources
The Air Support Unit (ASU) is also part of the Special Operations Division. A police helicopter is a force multiplier, equaling up to 10 patrol cars on the ground. The ASU assists patrol units in vehicle/foot pursuits, area searches, surveillances, missing persons’ calls, burglary incidents, locating DUI offenders, and acts as a general crime deterrent. There are six Officer Pilots, two Mechanics and one Sergeant Pilot. The unit provides contracted helicopter services to the cities of Costa Mesa,

Support Services Division
The Support Services Division encompasses Communications, Property/ Evidence, Records, Front Desk, Community Support, Jail Bureau and volunteer program.

Communications Dispatchers play a critical role as the first, first responder any citizen encounters in an emergency. Their primary responsibilities include receiving and processing 911 calls and routine business requests for police services. To perform their duties effectively, dispatchers utilize a range of modern technologies, including Text to 911, Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems, GPS mapping for precise location tracking, and city camera feeds.

These tools enhance their ability to provide accurate, timely information to officers and ensure rapid response to emergencies.

Special Operations Division
The Special Operations Division manages the areas within the Police Department which are responsible for unique and specialized functions of law enforcement. This division is comprised of both sworn and civilian employees and includes police facilities, vehicle fleet, Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), traffic enforcement/investigations, DUI enforcement, School Resource Officers (SROs), parking enforcement, airborne/drone operations, mounted enforcement and the Homeless Task Force (HTF). Additionally, this division is tasked with planning and implementing the police department’s response to all special events held throughout the City.

The Air Support Unit (ASU) is also part of the Special Operations Division. A police helicopter is a force multiplier, equaling up to 10 patrol cars on the ground. The ASU assists patrol units in vehicle/ foot pursuits, area searches, surveillances, missing persons’ calls, burglary incidents, locating DUI offenders, support fire department operations and acts as a general crime deterrent. There are six Officer Pilots, two Mechanics and one Sergeant Pilot. The unit provides contracted helicopter services to the cities of Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach. They work with lifeguards in Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, locating swimmers and boats in distress and can drop lifeguards in the ocean for rescues.

The Special Operations Division is also responsible for overseeing the department’s use of special teams who respond to tactical situations, as well as planned and unplanned protests or events.

These teams include SWAT, CNT, Drone Team, and the Mobile Field Force (MFF) Team, which handles any civil unrest or unlawful gatherings.

At the front desk, Community Services Officers serve as the face of the department, ensuring that visitors receive the assistance they need. These skilled professionals author crime and incident reports, allowing Patrol Officers to stay proactive in the field. They also help with payments, citation sign-offs, report requests and other various tasks.

The Records Bureau serves as a critical hub for law enforcement operations by ensuring real-time access to vital criminal justice information. The unit is responsible for processing bookings of all arrestees, conducting warrant checks for officers in the field, and preparing court packages to support investigations and prosecutions. Additionally, Records staff manage the distribution of police reports, teletype messages, and court documents, while also handling the entry and tracking of stolen, impounded, and repossessed vehicles. Their role is essential in maintaining operational efficiency and supporting officer safety through accurate and timely information management.

The Property and Evidence Unit plays a crucial role in law enforcement by ensuring the secure collection, storage, and disposal of evidence and other property, including items taken for safekeeping and found property. In addition to managing evidence, the unit is responsible for purchasing and issuing department equipment, ensuring officers have the necessary tools to perform their duties.

The Huntington Beach Jail is a 72-bed Type I facility that houses both misdemeanor and felony arrestees. Jail staff are responsible for maintaining the safety and security of all incarcerated persons. Staff conduct searches, process bookings, manage housing assignments, and coordinate transports to the Orange County Jail. The jail also operates a Pay-to-Stay program for sentenced individuals who qualify to serve their sentence in a city jail instead of a county jail. Additionally, staff work closely with the Orange County Crisis Assessment Team to assist with mental health evaluations when needed. Due to the nature of a custodial environment, jail personnel play a critical role in safeguarding the safety, care, and constitutional rights of those in custody while also protecting the City from significant legal and operational liability. These responsibilities require constant vigilance, sound judgment, and strict adherence to policy, as every interaction and decision directly impacts facility safety and organizational risk.

The Community Support Unit plays a vital role in strengthening the partnership between the police department and the community it serves. This unit is responsible for developing, coordinating, and overseeing citywide community engagement initiatives. The Community Support Unit also serves as the primary liaison for schools and youth-focused outreach supporting programs such as classroom reading visits, Red Ribbon Week activities, safety presentations, and seasonal events like Trunk-or-Treat. A cornerstone of the unit’s success is its management of a highly active volunteer program. Volunteers donate hundreds of hours supporting department operations, assisting at events, and expanding the department’s capacity to serve the public.

City of Huntington Beach | Proposed Budget 2026-2027

NON-DEPARTMENTAL
dePartment budgets

NON-DEPARTMENTAL
Department Descriptions
The Non-Departmental series of accounts are used to account for citywide expenditures including debt service payments, equipment leases and purchases, utility costs, unemployment insurance, termination leave payouts as well as Capital Improvement Projects that do not have a correlation to any one particular department. The Finance Department manages this set of Non-Departmental accounts.

Equipment Replacement
Non-Departmental supports the funding of the City’s Equipment Replacement Program. This program funds the replacement of the City’s equipment and rolling stock so that the City’s vehicle fleet, equipment and technology remain up-to-date and in good working condition. The FY 2026/27 Equipment Replacement budget totals $6 million to fund the replacement of the City’s aging equipment.

Infrastructure Improvements
Non-Departmental also helps to support the City’s General Fund share of infrastructure spending.

Per the City’s Charter, Section 617, General Fund expenditures for infrastructure improvements and maintenance shall not be reduced below 15% of General Fund revenues based on a five-year rolling average.The Capital Improvement Program Section provides detailed information regarding the infrastructure projects funded by the General Fund and other funds, including grants.

Debt Service
Non-Departmental includes annual debt service
payments for the City’s bonded debt. The City’s
Charter limits General Obligation debt to 12 percent
(12%) of the total assessed value of all real and
personal property within Huntington Beach. The City’s
total net taxable assessed property value in Fiscal
Year 2025/26 was approximately $53.5 billion, resulting in a debt limit of $6.4 billion. The City currently holds no General Obligation bonds subject to the debt limit.

In addition, it is not anticipated that the City’s outstanding debt will have an appreciable impact on the operating budget.

Successor Agency
The Successor Agency is responsible for overseeing the “winding down” of the City’s former Redevel- opment Agency. Under Assembly Bill1X 26, AB 1484, SB 107 and the California Supreme Court’s decision on December 29, 2011, all redevelopment agencies were dissolved as of February 1, 2012.

City of Huntington Beach | Proposed Budget 2026-2027

NON-DEPARTMENTAL
dePartment budgets
The State Legislature created “Successor Agencies”. All assets, properties, contracts, and leases of the former Redevelopment Agency transferred to the Successor Agency in conformance with State law.

The Successor Agency continues to oversee the development of certain properties under contractual obligation until the project or obligation is completed, can be transferred to other parties, or is sold. The Successor Agency prepares a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) annually (July – June) for the enforceable obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency.

Pursuant to State Law, the Oversight Board now functions through the County of Orange.

Housing Authority
The City’s Housing Authority assumed the housing
functions and assets of the former Redevelopment Agency.

It also received related rights, powers, liabilities, duties, and obligations, thereby becoming “Successor Housing
Agency.”
The Housing Authority administers the housing assets
of the former Redevelopment Agency; manages the
Inclusionary Housing Program; implements the Housing Rehabilitation Program; and manages the Ocean View Mobile Home Park. Staff monitors over 52 multifamily rental projects, consisting of 1,759 extremely low, very low, and low-income residential units and 788 moderate income residential units that have affordability covenants/affordable restrictions associated with the developments. In addition, the City has 362 ownership covenant restricted residential units related to the inclusionary housing ordinance program.

Housing focuses on the implementation of the available housing programs and policies. Staff will continue working with developers to seek out sites and potential funding such as HUD’s HOME program, Inclusionary In-Lieu, and former Redevelopment funds to develop affordable rental units. The City is working with a non-profit organization, Jamboree Housing Corporation, on the development of a 43-unit senior affordable housing project at the corner of Beach Boulevard and Main Street. Construction on this permanent supportive housing project began in May 2024 and will be completed during FY 2026/27. The project serves extremely low and very low income tenants complete with supportive services and activities.

City of Huntington Beach | Capital Improvement Program 2026-2027 Drainage Greer Park Improvements
Funding Department: Dept. Project Mgr: Project Type: Category: Strategic Plan Goal:

Public Works Jim Merid Rehabilitation Drainage Infrastructure Investment Project Location Project Description:

Provide design of stormwater drainage improvements to address potential flooding and trash/debris discharges from Greer Pond to Murdy Channel. Project would entail installing an in-line trash capture/ removal device and upsizing the existing 18” pipe to a larger box culvert based on expected flow. Along with providing a study to address flooding, the City would dredge the existing lake to increase water retention capacity and modernize monitoring and pump systems for improved lake level management.

Project Need:

Project would address compliance with the State’s Trash Provisions as well as address and mitigate flooding on McFadden and the immediate surrounding area by increasing the capacity of the outlet.

Limited retention capacity and outdated monitoring and pump systems hinder effective water level management, increasing the risk of overflow, flooding, and operational issues.
