RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Receive and file a report from Kayuga Solutions summarizing the development of the City’s Asset Management Program.
2. Provide feedback on the development and implementation of the Asset Management Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Lake Forest is developing and implementing a comprehensive asset management program to gain a better understanding of current and future asset needs, asset risk profile, appropriate levels of service, cost to provide that level of service, and financial and resource requirements to sustain the delivery of those services. The City decided to undertake asset management planning efforts to enhance the infrastructure management processes and practices by forming decisions based on data and science. The City contracted Kayuga Solution to assist in developing the asset management plan.
Headquartered in Laguna Niguel, Kayuga Solution was established to focus exclusively on asset management planning. Kayuga Solution staff have used their extensive experience with all aspects of asset management to customize an asset management solution specifically for the City of Lake Forest. Kayuga Solution has also created a sophisticated cloud-based asset management system that performs lifecycle cost calculations and risk analysis asset-by-asset in addition to other useful features.
Kayuga Solution has created an inventory of City assets, which includes an assessment of over 70,000 assets. Working with staff, a condition and risk assessment has been undertaken as well as discussions regarding future needs of the city. Using this data, Kayuga Solution will be able to produce the Asset Management Plan. This Asset Management Plan will be a transformational and accurate tool the City can use to financially plan for the continued maintenance of all City assets.
4 Attached is a draft executive summary describing the progress made so far towards the Asset Management Plan. Staff recommends the City Council receive and file an oral report from Kayuga Solution describing the progress made on the Asset Management Plan and provide comment.

1 Introduction
The City of Lake Forest (City) is developing and implementing a comprehensive asset management program to gain better understanding of the current and future asset needs, asset risk profile, appropriate levels of service, cost to provide that level of service, and financial and resource requirements to sustain the delivery of those services.
The City decided to undertake asset management efforts to enhance the infrastructure management processes and practices. The City wanted to develop a decision-making platform based on data and science. The City contracted Kayuga Solution (Kayuga) to assist in developing the asset management plan. Using data, the City wanted to document the assets owned and managed, understand the current asset condition, identify immediate actions required to fix or replace the poor and failed condition assets, project future asset replacement needs, and establish a sustainable financial plan to ensure uninterrupted asset service. Using technology with a sound data foundation, the City wanted to develop a dynamic asset management decision-making platform that can be used to proactively manage the infrastructure assets.
Asset Management Definition
Asset management is defined as
"Managing assets to minimize the total cost of owning, operating, and maintaining those assets while delivering the desired service level at an acceptable level of risk." Effective asset management is to balance the expectations of the community with the cost of providing that level of service, with the risk associated with that asset, with available funding, and with available people to do the work.
Asset Management Plan
An assetmanagement plan is a long-range planning documentthat provides a framework for understanding the assets an organization owns and manages, services it provides, risks it assumes, and financial investments required to sustain the services. An asset management plan can help an organization move from reactive to proactive management of its physical and financial resources. The development of an asset management plan requires answers to the following questions:
• What is an asset? What is not an asset?
9 2
• Which assets need to be managed?
• What is the current state of the assets?
• What maintenance and capital work are required? When and how much? • How long until the assets need to be renewed?
• Which assets are critical?
• What levels of service must be provided?
• What is the long-range investment needed to sustain the delivery of services? The answers to these questions help in the development of an asset management plan. The key elements of the asset management plan development are the following:
1. Asset inventory - What does the City own and manage?
2. Condition assessment - What are the current conditions and needs of the assets?
3. Risk assessment - Which assets are critical? Which are not?
4. Work management - What work needs to be done? Where, when, and for how much?
5. Life cycle cost assessment - What are the long-term financial needs?
6. Funding analyses - Are there enough funds allocated to the management of the asset to sustain the delivery of that asset?
Asset Management Program
An asset management program encompasses the framework, goals, data, methodologies, processes, practices, and information systems used to support asset management decisions.
Goal of the Asset Management Program
The main goal of the City's asset management program is to transition from reactive to proactive planning and management of its assets. More specifically, the City's overarching goal is to achieve the following objectives:
• To understand the magnitude and timing of asset reinvestment needs • To understand the risk associated with assets
• To develop a data-backed justification to plan and prioritize asset needs • To understand the cost to provide service
• To develop a consistent and transparent decision-making process • To develop a sound data foundation for asset management • To communicate and be able to tell the infrastructure story Some of the major challenges to meeting that goal include the following:
• Identifying and understanding the complete inventory of assets owned and managed by the City • Assets in need of maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement • High level of service standards

Methodology
The following diagram illustrates the methodology to develop the asset management program.
Figure 1-1 Asset Management Process
These processes were applied to the City’s management systems to develop the asset management plan. 11 4
2 Citywide
The Citywide Asset Management Program includes the following systems:
• Park Management System
• Building Management System
• Roadway Management System
• Urban Forestry Management System
• Drainage Management System
2.1 Asset Register
An asset is defined as something with value that is owned and managed by the City. For City staff use, an asset is generally defined at the level in which a maintenance work order will be generated and tagged. Typical assets include benches, drinking fountains, doors, street lights, trees, and pipes, among other types of assets.
Assets are grouped into classes for modeling and management purposes. An asset class generally refers to a group of assets that behave similarly (e.g., useful life, rehabilitation activities). Grouping the assets into these classes allows easier modeling of life cycle behavior.
The City is responsible for 73,375 park, building, roadway, urban forestry, and drainage assets included in this study.
Additional information about the assets included in each management system is included in the following sections.
During the asset inventory process, the location of many of the assets was recorded in GIS.
Each asset was assigned an estimated replacement cost. The sum of all the asset replacement costs is approximately $899.4 million. As summarized in this report, the replacement cost represents the sum of replacement costs of the assets within each system. Note that pavement was not included as part of the Roadway Management System as it is managed separately.
Table 2-1 Citywide Asset Summary
System Number of Assets Total Asset Replacement Cost
Park Management System 5,397 $64.5 million
Building Management System 5,529 $71.5 million
Roadway Management System 40,256 $615.8 million
Urban Forestry Management System 17,384 $8.6 million
Drainage Management System 4,809 $139.0 million
Total 73,375 $899.4 million
12 5
2.2 Condition Assessment
Condition is one of the best indicators for estimation of immediate and/or future repair and replacement work. During the asset inventory field visits, each accessible asset was assessed for condition. For other assets, condition was assessed based on the estimated age of the asset. The following table shows the overall summary of the condition assessment. As is shown in the table, a majority of the assets are in good condition or better. Approximately 5% of the assets by asset count and less than 2% replacement cost are in fair or poor/failed condition.
Table 2-2 Condition Profile
Condition Number of Assets % by Number Total Replacement Cost % by Replacement Cost 1 - New/Excellent 26,089 36% $300.4 million 33%
2 - Very Good 17,925 24% $112.7 million 13%
3 - Good 25,612 35% $478.2 million 53%
4 - Fair 2,696 4% $7.1 million 1%
5 - Poor/Failed 1,053 1% $1.0 million <1%
Total 73,375 100% $899.4 million 100%
2.3 Risk Analysis
Risk is used for effective prioritization of limited resources (e.g., budget, availability of staff). The two main components of risk are Probability of Failure (PoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF). PoF indicates the projected time until the asset fails to function at the established levels of service. CoF provides an indication of the impact of a failure in consideration of the triple bottom line factors of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental. Every asset in the asset register is assigned a risk score. Under limited resources, the City should address the assets with the highest risk scores before addressing the lower-risk assets. Risk allows the City to transparently prioritize the assets in need of replacement or rehabilitation.
The following figure shows the resulting overall risk profile for the assets. This profile incorporates both the PoF and CoF scores to prioritize the assets. The assets in the red zone of the risk matrix are the highest risk assets that have both a high probability and high impact of failure. 13 6
Figure 2-4 Risk Matrix
As shown in the risk matrix, most of the assets are low risk to medium risk. Approximately $7.4 million worth of assets are currently high risk. Some of these assets, particularly those nearing the end of their expected useful lives, may need replacement or rehabilitation in the near future, which will be covered in the following sections. Some of the high-risk assets with the highest costs include the artificial turf soccer fields at Lake Forest Sports Park, other sports courts at high-use parks, poor condition or non-existent curb ramps, and high-CoF traffic signs in fair to poor condition (e.g., stop signs), among other assets.
2.4 Future Needs
In order to predict the future replacement and rehabilitation need of all assets, a life-cycle cost analysis is performed. The life-cycle cost analysis is a calculation of costs required to support the set of activities (e.g., rehabilitation, replacement) that are needed to sustain the delivery of an asset's services during the life of an asset or for the planning horizon. Life-cycle cost analysis is performed for each asset in the asset register. For every year of the planning horizon, the life-cycle analysis will calculate which asset needs a rehabilitation or replacement activity and how much it will cost to perform the needed activity. When all the activity costs are summed for each year, the overall replacement and rehabilitation budget for the year will be established. The following figure shows the replacement and rehabilitation (R&R) needs over a 50-year horizon. Utilizing a deterministic model (i.e., assets fail at the end of their estimated useful lives), the average annual investment needed for the assets is approximately $8.5 million. 14 7

3 Parks
The City owns and maintains a total of 33 parks as shown in the following map. The number of dots shows the concentration of assets at each park.
3.1 Asset Register
An asset is defined as something with value that is owned and managed by the City. For City staff use, an asset is generally defined at the level in which a maintenance work order will be generated and tagged. Typical assets in the Park Management System include benches, drinking fountains, fencing, walkways, and sports courts.
In total, there are 5,397 assets in the Park Management System. During the asset inventory process, the location of each asset was recorded in GIS. Lake Forest Sports Park has the highest number of assets, followed by Heroes Park and Foothill Ranch Community Park.
Each asset was assigned an estimated replacement cost. The sum of all replacement costs in the Park Management 16 9
System is approximately $64.4 million. As summarized in this report, the replacement cost represents the sum of replacement costs of the assets within the park. Lake Forest Sports Park has the highest total asset replacement cost ($19.3 million), followed by Etnies Skatepark ($4.7 million), Heroes Park ($4.5 million), Foothill Ranch Community Park ($3.9 million), and Baker Ranch Community Park ($3.5 million).

3.3 Risk Analysis
Risk is used for effective prioritization of limited resources (e.g., budget, availability of staff). The two main components of risk are Probability of Failure (PoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF). PoF indicates the projected time until the asset fails to function at the established levels of service.

Every asset in the asset register is assigned a risk score. Under limited resources, the City should address the assets with the highest risk scores before addressing the lower-risk assets. Risk allows the City to transparently prioritize the assets in need of replacement or rehabilitation.
The following figure shows the resulting overall risk profile for the park assets. This profile incorporates both the PoF and CoF scores to prioritize the assets.
The assets in the red zone of the risk matrix are the highest risk assets that have both a high probability and high impact of failure.
Figure 3-4 Park Risk Matrix
As is shown in the risk matrix, most of the assets are low risk to medium risk. Approximately $6.5 million worth of assets are currently high risk. Some of these assets, particularly those in poor condition, may need replacement or rehabilitation in the near future, which will be covered in the following section. The artificial turf soccer fields at Lake Forest Sports Park make up a large portion of the high-risk assets ($2.2 million); these fields are nearing the end of their expected useful lives and should be planned for replacement in the near future. 19 12
3.4 Future Needs
In order to predict the future replacement and rehabilitation need of all assets, a life-cycle cost analysis is performed. The life-cycle cost analysis is a calculation of costs required to support the set of activities (e.g., rehabilitation, replacement) that are needed to sustain the delivery of an asset's services during the life of an asset or for the planning horizon. Life-cycle cost analysis is performed for each asset in the asset register. For every year of the planning horizon, the life-cycle analysis will calculate which asset needs a rehabilitation or replacement activity and how much it will cost to perform the needed activity. When all the activity costs are summed for each year, the overall replacement and rehabilitation budget for the year will be established. The following figures show the replacement and rehabilitation (R&R) needs. The following figure below presents the 50-year R&R needs for the Park Management System. Utilizing a deterministic model (i.e., assets fail at the end of their estimated useful lives), the average annual investment needed for the park assets is approximately $2.9 million.

4 Buildings
The City owns and maintains buildings at three main sites: the Civic Center, Lake Forest Sports Park, and Heroes Park. The locations of the buildings are shown in the following map.
4.1 Asset Register
An asset is defined as something with value that is owned and managed by the City. For City staff use, an asset is generally defined at the level in which a maintenance work order will be generated and tagged. Typical assets in the Building Management System include doors, lights, wall finishes, flooring, ceiling, sinks, electrical panels, and air conditioning units, among other types of assets.
In total, there are 5,529 assets in the Building Management System. The Admin Building/City Hall has the highest number of assets, followed by the Performing Arts Building and the Senior Center.
Each asset was assigned an estimated replacement cost. The sum of all replacement costs in the Building 22 15
Management System is approximately $71.4 million. As summarized in this report, the replacement cost represents the sum of replacement costs of the assets within the building. The Admin Building/City Hall has the highest replacement cost ($23.9 million) followed by the Community Center ($8.8 million).

4.3 Risk Analysis
Risk is used for effective prioritization of limited resources (e.g., budget, availability of staff). The two main components of risk are Probability of Failure (PoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF). PoF indicates the projected time until the asset fails to function at the established levels of service. CoF provides an indication of the impact of a failure in consideration of the triple bottom line factors of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental. Every asset in the asset register is assigned a risk score. Under limited resources, the City should address the assets with the highest risk scores before addressing the lower-risk assets. Risk allows the City to transparently prioritize the assets in need of replacement or rehabilitation.
The following figure shows the resulting overall risk profile for the assets. This profile incorporates both the PoF and CoF scores to prioritize the assets. The assets in the red zone of the risk matrix are the highest risk assets that have both a high probability and high impact of failure.
Figure 4-4 Risk Matrix
As is shown in the risk matrix, nearly all the assets are low risk to medium risk. This is as expected as many of the assets were installed relatively recently. The only two assets that are high risk are water heaters that are currently in good condition; however, because they are relatively high CoF, they should be monitored moving forward.
24 17
4.4 Future Needs
In order to predict the future replacement and rehabilitation need of all assets, a life-cycle cost analysis is performed. The life-cycle cost analysis is a calculation of costs required to support the set of activities (e.g., rehabilitation, replacement) that are needed to sustain the delivery of an asset's services during the life of an asset or for the planning horizon. Life-cycle cost analysis is performed for each asset in the asset register. For every year of the planning horizon, the life-cycle analysis will calculate which asset needs a rehabilitation or replacement activity and how much it will cost to perform the needed activity. When all the activity costs are summed for each year, the overall replacement and rehabilitation budget for the year will be established. The following figure below presents the 50-year R&R needs for the Building Management System. Utilizing a deterministic model (i.e., assets fail at the end of their estimated useful lives), the average annual investment needed for the building assets is approximately $756,000. $

5 Roadway
The Roadway Management System includes the following systems:
• Traffic Signs
• Street Lights
• Traffic Signals
• Street Striping
• Sidewalk and Curb
• Pedestrian Ramps
• Bridges
• Guardrail
Pavement was not included in this asset management study as it is managed separately. The locations of the roadway assets that were included are shown in the following figure. 27 20
5.1 Asset Register
An asset is defined as something with value that is owned and managed by the City. For City staff use, an asset is generally defined at the level in which a maintenance work order will be generated and tagged. Typical assets in the Roadway Management System include traffic signs, street lights, traffic signal poles, traffic signal heads, sidewalk, pedestrian ramps, and guardrails, among other types of assets.
In total, there are 40,256 assets in the Roadway Management System. The traffic signs make up the highest number of assets in the system, followed by the street striping and sidewalk/curb.
Each asset was assigned an estimated replacement cost. The sum of all replacement costs in the Roadway Management System is approximately $615.7 million. As summarized in this report, the replacement cost represents the sum of replacement costs of the assets within each category.
Table 5-1 Roadway Summary
Category Number of Assets Total Length

Total 40,256 597.5 miles $615.7 million
5.2 Condition Assessment
Condition is one of the best indicators for estimation of immediate and/or future repair and replacement work.
During the asset inventory field visits, each accessible asset was assessed for condition. As is shown in the table, a majority of the assets are in good condition or better. Approximately 4% of the assets by asset count and less than 1% by replacement cost are in fair or poor/failed condition.

5.3 Risk Analysis
Risk is used for effective prioritization of limited resources (e.g., budget, availability of staff). The two main components of risk are Probability of Failure (PoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF). PoF indicates the projected time until the asset fails to function at the established levels of service. CoF provides an indication of the impact of a failure in consideration of the triple bottom line factors of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental. Every asset in the asset register is assigned a risk score. Under limited resources, the City should address the assets with the highest risk scores before addressing the lower-risk assets. Risk allows the City to transparently prioritize the assets in need of replacement or rehabilitation.
The following figure shows the resulting overall risk profile for the assets. This profile incorporates both the PoF and CoF scores to prioritize the assets. The assets in the red zone of the risk matrix are the highest risk assets that have both a high probability and high impact of failure.
Figure 5-4 Risk Matrix
As is shown in the risk matrix, most of the assets are low risk to medium risk. Approximately $874,000 worth of assets are currently high risk. Of these assets, the highest-risk assets include high CoF traffic signs that were in fair to poor condition, pedestrian ramps that were in fair to poor structural condition, and curb ramps that were non-existent. Note that this risk assessment does not include ADA compliance for relevant assets (e.g., curb ramps, sidewalk). 29 22
5.4 Future Needs
In order to predict the future replacement and rehabilitation need of all assets, a life-cycle cost analysis is performed. The life-cycle cost analysis is a calculation of costs required to support the set of activities (e.g., rehabilitation, replacement) that are needed to sustain the delivery of an asset's services during the life of an asset or for the planning horizon. Life-cycle cost analysis is performed for each asset in the asset register. For every year of the planning horizon, the life-cycle analysis will calculate which asset needs a rehabilitation or replacement activity and how much it will cost to perform the needed activity. When all the activity costs are summed for each year, the overall replacement and rehabilitation budget for the year will be established. The following figure below presents the 50-year R&R needs for the Roadway Management System. Utilizing a deterministic model (i.e., assets fail at the end of their estimated useful lives), the average annual investment needed for the roadway assets is approximately $4.2 million. $

6 Urban Forestry
The City owns and maintains over 17,000 trees citywide as shown in the following map. The number of dots shows the concentration of trees in each area.
6.1 Asset Register
An asset is defined as something with value that is owned and managed by the City. For City staff use, an asset is generally defined at the level in which a maintenance work order will be generated and tagged. In the Urban Forestry Management System, each tree is considered an asset.
In total, there are 17,384 assets in the Urban Forestry Management System. The assets are categorized based on their current maintenance schedule. Most of the trees are organized into four districts to be trimmed on a 4-year cycle. Palm trees and trees at the Lake Forest Sports Park are maintained every year. Serrano Creek Park is 32 25
considered to be a separate district that will require intensive care in the future.
Each asset was assigned an estimated replacement cost. The sum of all replacement costs in the Urban Forestry Management System is approximately $8.6 million.
Table 6-1 Urban Forestry Summary
Area Number of Assets Total Asset Replacement Cost
District 1 3,902 $1.7 million

6.3 Risk Analysis
Risk is used for effective prioritization of limited resources (e.g., budget, availability of staff). The two main components of risk are Probability of Failure (PoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF). PoF indicates the projected time until the asset fails to function at the established levels of service. CoF provides an indication of the impact of a failure in consideration of the triple bottom line factors of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental. Every asset in the asset register is assigned a risk score. Under limited resources, the City should address the assets with the highest risk scores before addressing the lower-risk assets. Risk allows the City to transparently prioritize the assets in need of replacement or rehabilitation.
The following figure shows the resulting overall risk profile for the assets. This profile incorporates both the PoF and CoF scores to prioritize the assets. The assets in the red zone of the risk matrix are the highest risk assets that have both a high probability and high impact of failure.
Figure 6-4 Risk Matrix
As is shown in the risk matrix, most of the assets are low risk to medium risk. Approximately $4,200 worth of assets are currently high risk; these assets are dead trees in park areas, which are considered higher CoF. 34 27
6.4 Future Needs
In order to predict the future replacement and rehabilitation need of all assets, a life-cycle cost analysis is performed. The life-cycle cost analysis is a calculation of costs required to support the set of activities (e.g., rehabilitation, replacement) that are needed to sustain the delivery of an asset's services during the life of an asset or for the planning horizon.

7 Drainage
The City owns and maintains drainage assets throughout the city as shown in the following map.
7.1 Asset Register
An asset is defined as something with value that is owned and managed by the City. For City staff use, an asset is generally defined at the level in which a maintenance work order will be generated and tagged. Typical assets in the Drainage Management System include storm drain pipes, manholes, catch basins, and drainage inserts.
In total, there are 4,809 assets in the Drainage Management System. The storm drain pipes make up the highest 37 30
number of assets in the system. Note that the City is continuing to develop the complete asset inventory and to verify ownership and responsibility for storm drain assets within city limits.
Each asset was assigned an estimated replacement cost. The sum of all replacement costs in the Drainage Management System is approximately $139.1 million.
Table 7-1 Drainage Summary
Asset Class Number of Assets Total Length
Total Asset
Replacement Cost
Storm Drain Pipes 2,389 51.2 miles $126.2 million
Manholes 672 $3.4 million
Catch Basins 1,398 $8.4 million
Drainage Inserts 350 $1.1 million
Total 4,809 51.2 miles $139.1 million
7.2 Condition Assessment
Condition is one of the best indicators for estimation of immediate and/or future repair and replacement work. For the drainage assets, the condition assessment was based on the estimated age of the asset compared to the expected useful life. The estimated age of most of the assets was based on the development year recorded in the county’s parcel database. As is shown in the table, a majority of the assets are in very good condition or better. Less than 1% of the assets by asset count and by replacement cost are in fair condition.

7.3 Risk Analysis
Risk is used for effective prioritization of limited resources (e.g., budget, availability of staff). The two main components of risk are Probability of Failure (PoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF). PoF indicates the projected time until the asset fails to function at the established levels of service. CoF provides an indication of the impact of a failure in consideration of the triple bottom line factors of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental.
Every asset in the asset register is assigned a risk score. Under limited resources, the City should address the assets with the highest risk scores before addressing the lower-risk assets. Risk allows the City to transparently prioritize the assets in need of replacement or rehabilitation.

The following figure shows the resulting overall risk profile for the assets. This profile incorporates both the PoF and CoF scores to prioritize the assets. The assets in the red zone of the risk matrix are the highest risk assets that have both a high probability and high impact of failure.
Figure 7-4 Risk Matrix
As is shown in the risk matrix, all of the assets are low risk to medium risk. This is as expected as most of the assets have long useful lives and are relatively low POF based on age.
7.4 Future Needs
In order to predict the future replacement and rehabilitation need of all assets, a life-cycle cost analysis is performed. The life-cycle cost analysis is a calculation of costs required to support the set of activities (e.g., rehabilitation, replacement) that are needed to sustain the delivery of an asset's services during the life of an asset or for the planning horizon.

8 Confidence Level
Confidence Level Analysis is performed to get a snapshot of the current asset management implementation. Each asset management system is rated on the confidence level of the data and methodology developed throughout the project. The purpose of this is to examine the work that was done in order to identify future improvement opportunities.
For each asset management system, the confidence level is rated based on the following factors:
• Asset Inventory and Condition Assessment – examines the completeness of the asset list and the availability of recent condition assessment data
• Data Quality – examines the quality and completeness of the asset attribute data (e.g., size, material) used to develop the asset management plan
• Asset Valuation – examines the accuracy of the methodology used to calculate asset replacement cost • Lifecycle Cost Logic and Management Strategy – examines the accuracy and completeness of the methodology used in lifecycle cost analysis, including decay curve, management strategy that shows asset replacement (useful life) and rehabilitation activity and their frequency • Risk Methodology – examines the accuracy of the risk assessment methodology and results • Staff Participation/Buy-In – examines the staff involvement in the development and review of the asset management plan
Each factor will be assigned 0 to 100 score with 100 represents the highest level of confidence. The score corresponds to an overall grade for each factor based on the following scale.

44 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 5/23/2023
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT:
2023 STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Receive and file a report from staff summarizing proposed updates to the City's Strategic Business Plan.
2. Provide comment and direction on staff’s proposed updates to the Strategic Business Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On June 15, 2023, the City Council adopted the 2021-2028 Strategic Business Plan, which covers fiscal years 2021-22 through 2027-28 (“Strategic Plan”) (Attachment 1). Traditionally, the City provides regular updates to the Strategic Plan as new budgets are developed during the lifecycle of the document. To date, the City has completed 48 initiatives in the Strategic Plan, which are projects that facilitate progress towards one of the three goals established by the City Council. As a result, the Strategic Plan requires the insertion of new Initiatives to ensure the City is making continual progress towards the goals.
The project list for the 2023 Strategic Plan Update includes a variety of initiatives that staff are proposing in response to the Strategic Plan development process that began in early 2023 (Attachment 2). The initiatives are proposed in response to input gathered from the community through the 2023 Community Satisfaction Survey, the February 28, 2023, Joint Commission Workshop, and the March 28, 2023, City Council workshop. Staff recommends the City Council consider the proposed project list for the 2023 Strategic Plan Update along with updates to the two plan strategies described later in this report and provide comment. After receiving City Council direction, staff plan to present the final version of the 2023 Strategic Plan Update in June. At its June 20, 2023, meeting, the City Council will have opportunity to consider the final 2023 Strategic Plan Update alongside the proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget. 45 BACKGROUND:
On June 15, 2021, the City Council adopted the Strategic Plan covering fiscal years 2021-22 through 2027-28 (Attachment 1). Traditionally, the City provides regular updates to the Strategic Plan as new budgets are developed during the lifecycle of the document. In January 2023 the City received the results of the 2023 Community Satisfaction Survey (“Community Satisfaction Survey”). In addition, each City Councilmember was interviewed by Mr. Billy Kelly of Kelly Associates Management Group LLC, who is a skilled facilitator of local government strategic planning processes. The purpose of Mr. Kelly’s interviews was to assess the major strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (“SWOT”) the community is facing from the perspective of each City Councilmember.
On February 28, 2023, the City held a Joint Commissions Workshop whereby each City Commissioner was invited to provide feedback on the “SWOT” results obtained by Mr. Kelly during his interviews with City Councilmembers. The Commissioners also received a report from staff regarding the results of the Community Satisfaction Survey to help them gauge what issues are of genuine importance in the community. Near the conclusion of the Joint Commissions Workshop, the Commissioners had the opportunity to add items to the SWOT record and comment upon existing items.
On March 28, 2023, the City Council held a Strategic Plan Workshop, whereby they received the updated SWOT record, a summary of the Community Satisfaction Survey results, and a summary of local economic conditions. At this meeting, each City Councilmember had the opportunity to add new items to the SWOT record and emphasize existing items.
In general, the SWOT record constructed through the aforementioned steps largely mimicked the original SWOT record used to establish the original Strategic Plan that was approved in 2021. However, due to changing demographics, the economic dynamics brought on by COVID-19, new State laws, and the public’s desire to connect with other residents at community events, the following items received high emphasis:
• Increased interest in mixed-use development and its ability to address the shortage of housing in the area.
• Very strong interest in maintaining a “business friendly” approach to economic development.
• Desire to accommodate the increasing importance of the internet (shopping, education, work, etc.) and facilitate more competition for internet service locally.
46 • Very strong interest in redeveloping traditional commercial properties to accommodate the new economic realities of commercial real estate and consumer preferences.
• Continued interest in using technology to address public safety. • Desire to enhance the aesthetics of Lake Forest infrastructure. • Interest in implementing small-scale infrastructure projects to improve traffic flow.
• Desire to expand recreation and other civic opportunities to be more inclusive of Lake Forest’s changing demographics.
Appreciating the items that received a high emphasis during the SWOT exercise process, staff began the process of removing completed projects from the Strategic Plan and adding new projects that align with community’s documented preferences.
DISCUSSION:
The updated Implementation Matrix is provided for City Council consideration.
The updated document contains 54 new Initiatives (i.e., projects) that have received internal approval from the City Manager’s Office and Department Directors (Attachment 2). The budget impact of each new initiative has been captured in the Draft 2023-2025 Operating Budget.
The updated Implementation Matrix includes a record of completed projects that can be identified with strikethrough font. New projects that are proposed based on the results of the City’s SWOT analysis process are highlighted in yellow.
Lastly, revisions to existing Strategic Plan projects are identified via a light tan background.
The current Strategic Plan was created in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At that time, significant restrictions were put in place to limit contact with other people at the workplace, restaurants, shopping destinations, and modes of travel.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic has largely subsided and most public restrictions have been lifted, staff propose an adjustment to Goal B, Priority Area 1, Strategy B. Currently, this Strategy B is:
• “Reinvigorate civic life in the post-COVID-19 environment via special events and programming.”
Staff’s propose changing this Strategy B to:
• “Maintain robust civic event calendar appealing to diverse community demographics.”
47 This change eliminates reference to COVID-19 and instead identifies the City’s changing demographics, which were emphasized during the City’s SWOT analysis process. This change is illustrated below:
Current:
Goal B: Our connected city is engaged, informed, and technologically current.
Priority Area 1. Engaged: Outreach, creative events, and programs inspire connection and engagement between the community and City government.
Strategy (b) Reinvigorate civic life in the post-COVID-19 environment via special events and programs.
Proposed:
Goal B: Our connected city is engaged, informed, and technologically current.
Priority Area 1. Engaged: Outreach, creative events, and programs inspire connection and engagement between the community and City government.
Strategy (b) Maintain robust civic event calendar appealing to diverse community demographics.
The current Strategic Plan also includes a strategy to help businesses recover from the economic impacts of COVID-19 (Goal A, Priority Area 1, Strategy G).
From 2021 through 2023, the City completed both initiatives associated with this strategy, which include the City’s buy-one-get-one gift card program and the allowance of temporary outdoor dining for restaurants. As a result, staff propose to remove this strategy. The proposed list of new initiatives attached to this report contains a variety of economic development-related initiatives, but these do not make specific reference to COVID-19. This change is illustrated below.
Goal A: Our livable city is well planned, attractive, and safe.
Priority Area 1. Well planned: Purposeful direction in land use and transportation planning create a community future generations will value.
Strategy (g) Develop and implement initiatives to address negative economic impacts caused by COVID-19.
Staff recommends the City Council consider the proposed project list for the 2023 Strategic Plan Update along with updates to the two plan strategies described in this report and provide comment. If approved, staff plan to include the finalized list of projects as part of the formal presentation of the final Strategic Plan on 48 June 20, 2023. At its June 20, 2023, meeting, the City Council will have the opportunity to consider the proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget alongside the updated Strategic Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

The plan is focused on three clear long-range goals:
• A livable city that is well planned, attractive, and safe. • A city that is engaged, informed, and technologically current. • A city government that is fiscally sustainable and well-run with committed staff.
Implementing this Strategic Plan enables the City to build on past efforts and respond effectively to the needs of its citizens well into the future. ɨƵȲꢀɈǘƵꢀȁƵɮɈꢀseven ɯƵƊȲȺةꢀȁƵɩꢀȲƵȺǞƮƵȁɈǞƊǶꢀȁƵǞǐǘƦȌȲǘȌȌƮȺꢀɩǞǶǶꢀƦƵꢀƧȌǿȯǶƵɈƵƮ,ꢀƊȁƮꢀɈǘƵꢀ!ǞɈɯꢀ ɩǞǶǶꢀɈȲƊȁȺǞɈǞȌȁꢀǏȲȌǿꢀƊꢀƮƵɨƵǶȌȯǞȁǐꢀƧȌǿǿɐȁǞɈɯꢀɈȌꢀƊꢀٗǿƊǞȁɈƵȁƊȁƧƵꢀƧǞɈɯخ٘ꢀÀǘǞȺꢀɩǞǶǶꢀȲƵȱɐǞȲƵꢀƊꢀ ƧȌȁɈǞȁɐƵƮꢀǏȌƧɐȺꢀȌȁꢀȺɈȲƊɈƵǐǞƧꢀǞȁɨƵȺɈǿƵȁɈȺꢀǞȁꢀǞȁǏȲƊȺɈȲɐƧɈɐȲƵꢀƊȁƮꢀȌɈǘƵȲꢀǿɐȁǞƧǞȯƊǶꢀ ȺƵȲɨǞƧƵȺꢀɈǘƊɈꢀȌȁǶɯꢀɈǘƵꢀ!ǞɈɯꢀƧƊȁꢀȯȲȌɨǞƮƵꢀɈȌꢀƵȁȺɐȲƵꢀmƊDzƵꢀIȌȲƵȺɈꢀƧȌȁɈǞȁɐƵȺꢀɈȌꢀƦƵꢀƊꢀƦƵƊɐɈǞǏɐǶꢀ ƊȁƮꢀǏǞȁƊȁƧǞƊǶǶɯꢀȺɐȺɈƊǞȁƊƦǶƵꢀƧȌǿǿɐȁǞɈɯخ

Executive Summary
The City of Lake Forest has a long tradition of planning for the community’s future. The City Council and staff developed this new Seven-Year Strategic Plan to set forth the direction of the City government’s work. City Council members, City Commissioners, and City staff were engaged to develop this plan.
Input to the plan was gathered through the City’s biennial Resident & Business Survey, interviews with the City Council, and a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (“SWOT”) exercise facilitated by Mr. William Kelly of Kelly Associates Management group.
The result is a plan containing the City’s vision, mission, goals, strategies, and the implementation plan. Each of the three broad goals contains three priority areas and a set of programs and projects, which are the means to achieve the goals. Some programs and projects can be implemented without new resources while others will require additional budgetary or staff resources. Implementation of the Strategic Plan will occur through the budget process, work planning within City departments, and through the City Manager.
In addition to a biannual update of the Strategic Plan, the City Manager will provide quarterly reports to the City Council and community on progress made on the Strategic Plan. The City Manager also may provide interim updates on specific projects and strategies as needed.

Project
Location
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project would replace the grass turf with synthetic turf between gazebos at Baker Ranch Community Park. The grass turf is used extensively and is difficult to maintain because of the significant usage. This project also replaces two sand areas with a 2" layer safety pad. The sand has become a maintenance issue due to it being spread among the neighboring brush and deposited inside the drinking fountains.
ESTIMATED ANNUAL COST IMPACT OF PROJECT ON CITY OPERATING BUDGET:
New synthetic turf will require less annual maintenance for repairs. Replacement of sand at Baker Ranch Community Park will reduce maintenance costs, as the drinking fountains would require fewer repairs and less time would be needed to remove the sand from the nearby vegetation. Annual impact to operating budget is minimal.

BUDGET WORKSHOP AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 5/23/2023
DEPARTMENT: Finance
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED 2023-2025 OPERATING BUDGET AND PROPOSED 2023-2030
FINANCIAL FORECAST
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Receive presentations on Proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget and Proposed 2023-2030 Financial Forecast.
2. Review, revise, or provide direction to finalize the proposed financial planning documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Financial Management and Budgetary Policy (“Policy”) requires the City Manager to present a proposed budget to the City Council on a biennial basis to be adopted no later than June 30 in odd number years preceding the commencement of the two-year budget cycle. The budget is a resource allocation document and serves as the financial plan for the City, providing policy direction in the areas of desired service level and funding priorities. The longrange fiscal perspective includes the development of a two-year Operating Budget, seven-year Capital Improvement Plan, and a seven-year Financial Forecast. This report briefly summarizes each of these financial planning documents, while the attached Proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget (Attachment 1) and the Proposed 2023-2030 Financial Forecast (Attachment 2) describe and contain all aspects of the fiscal planning and analyses involving revenue projections, planned operating and capital expenditures, and reserve levels.
Staff is seeking direction regarding the Proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget and the Proposed 2023-2030 Financial Forecast. In addition, staff will continue to review and analyze revenue forecasts and cost estimates that can change based on the receipt of additional information or direction from the City Council. 157
DISCUSSION:
Proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget
The Proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget maintains all municipal services at current levels and continues providing services that address the priorities of Lake Forest’s constituents. Total revenues are projected to be $77.1 million in Fiscal Year 2023-24 and $78.3 million in Fiscal Year 2024-25. Total expenditures are projected to be $76.5 million in Fiscal Year 2023-24 and $74.2 million in Fiscal Year 2024-25. General Fund Revenue is projected to be $63.3 million in Fiscal Year 2023-24 and $65.3 million in Fiscal Year 2024-25. General Fund Expenditures are projected to be $59.6 million in Fiscal Year 2023-24 and $60.8 million in Fiscal Year 2024-25. The Proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget is balanced without the need to draw down General Fund reserves.

Proposed 2023-2030 General Fund Financial Forecast
The Proposed 2023-2030 General Fund Financial Forecast (“Forecast”) presents historical operating revenue and expenditure results for four prior fiscal years, the amended budget level for the current fiscal year, the proposed budget level of the upcoming two fiscal years, and a projected forecast for five fiscal years into the future. The projected revenue and cost estimates maintain a balanced budget for the upcoming seven fiscal years.
Next Steps – Risk Based Reserves
The Financial Management and Budgetary Policy establishes standards for setting reserve levels for various significant City funds. Adequate reserve levels are a necessary component of the City's overall financial management strategy and a key factor for external agencies’ measurement of the City‘s financial strength. The approach to reserves requires a risk-based approach through a biannual risk analysis in coordination with development of the operating budget and adoption of a Target General Fund Reserve and a Total Minimum Reserve by City Council resolution on a biennial basis. Staff is finalizing the required risk analysis and anticipates providing reserve level recommendations to the City Council for consideration at its meeting on June 6, 2023. The final risk analysis would be included as part of adoption of the 2023-2025 Operating Budget on June 20, 2023. Staff anticipates the Target General Fund Reserve Level to be fully met based on the projections included in the current financial planning documents.
In addition to the Target General Fund Reserve, the Financial Management and Budgetary Policy establishes a minimum reserve level for the Gas Tax Highway 160
Users Tax Allocation Fund (“HUTA”) and the Measure M Local Fair Share Fund.
Additionally, the risk-based reserve approach requires the City Manager to provide updates with the operating budget regarding the City’s Pension Employer Contribution Stabilization Trust Fund (“Pension Trust Fund”) and Other PostEmployment Benefits Trust Fund (“OPEB Trust Fund”). Staff is finalizing the fiscal analysis of these items and the status of each is summarized below. At the June 6, 2023 City Council meeting, staff plan to provide recommendations related to these items. Should the City Council wish to provide direction to staff at that time, staff would incorporate the direction for consideration at June 20, 2023, City Council meeting.
Gas Tax HUTA Fund - Street Maintenance Services Program The City pays for the majority of contract street maintenance services with State Gas Tax HUTA resources. Contract street maintenance services include day-today street maintenance repair work and biennial citywide street striping.
Historically, contractual street maintenance services remained within budget despite recent declines in State Gas Tax HUTA revenue. However, the Proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget includes an operating deficit in Fiscal Year 2024-25 in Gas Tax HUTA resources of $364,000. While the City’s Financial Management and Budgetary Policy requires a $400,000 reserve be maintained, the reserve can only be utilized to cover costs of street repair emergencies and other unanticipated traffic safety projects. Planned biennial citywide striping and other routine maintenance activities do not meet these criteria, thus, cannot be utilized to cover this potential deficit.
Statewide, Gas Tax HUTA funds are projected to be flat or decrease slightly in the near term due to the increased public reliance on electric vehicles and reduced gas consumption related to the telecommuting policies popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many local governments will likely need to adjust their traditional reliance on Gas Tax HUTA funds to cover the costs of road maintenance activities.
The City’s contract street maintenance arrangement incorporates three major cost inputs that have been subject to significant inflationary pressure over the last few years. These inputs include wages (see Table 5), fuel (see Table 6), and general inflation (see Table 7).

The current contract for street maintenance services was approved by the City Council in 2022. Among other planned maintenance activities, this contract includes the cost for bi-annual striping of city streets at a cost of $415,435.36.
The cost of the current service level for bi-annual striping cannot be maintained by the Gas Tax HUTA resources at this time. As a result, staff plan to analyze road maintenance plans and the City’s funding strategy to ensure a proper level of maintenance activities will occur in the near future while remaining in compliance with the City’s reserve policies. Staff is anticipating updated revenue projections based on the State of California budget in the next several weeks.
Staff plan to update the City Council on these plans at or before the June 20, 2023, City Council meeting.
Pension Employer Contribution Stabilization Trust Fund (“Pension Trust Fund”) 162
The Financial Management and Budgetary Policy requires the City to maintain a Pension Employer Contribution Stabilization Trust Fund to reduce volatility in the employer contribution rates set by CalPERS. An update is required to be provided of the balance of the available resources held in the Pension Trust Fund and any recommendations for the budget period. The balance of the Pension Trust Fund as of March 2023 is $1,474,453. The Pension Trust Fund is administered and held in trust by Public Agency Retirement Services (“PARS”).
Other Post-Employment Benefits Trust Fund (“OPEB Trust Fund”) The Financial Management and Budgetary Policy requires the City to maintain an Other Post-Employment Benefits Trust Fund to fund the required health care costs of retirees. An update is required to be provided of the balance of the available resources held in the OPEB Trust Fund and any recommendations for the budget period. The balance of the OPEB Trust Fund as of March 2023 is $521,334. The OPEB Trust Fund is administered and held in trust by PARS.
Staff is scheduled to hold its annual meeting with PARS on May 24, 2023. Staff is analyzing potential recommendations related to both Pension and OPEB Trust Funds and anticipates presenting any recommendations at the City Council meeting of June 6, 2023.
Conclusion
Staff is seeking direction regarding the Proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget, the Proposed 2023-2030 Financial Forecast, and Gas Tax HUTA funding. In addition, staff will continue to review and analyze revenue forecasts and cost estimates that can change based on the receipt of additional information or direction from the City Council. At the June 20, 2023 City Council meeting, staff plan to present the 2023 Strategic Plan Update, the 2023 Capital Improvement Plan, General Fund Risk Reserve Analysis, and the Classification and Compensation Study alongside the Proposed 2023-2025 Operating Budget. At that meeting, the City Council will have the opportunity to consider the 2023-2025 Operating Budget with a wholistic understanding of the City’s financial condition.

City of Lake Forest | 2023-2025 Operating Budget 172 Page 7 2023-2025 Budget Readers' Guide
An agency's budget serves several distinct purposes: as a document reflecting City Council policies and priorities, as a communication tool presenting to residents the various services provided and how much those services cost, and as a financial management and planning tool for City management and staff to use in guiding spending decisions. The City of Lake Forest prepares for City Council adoption, a two-year budget with the first year beginning in odd-numbered calendar years.
Introduction
The purpose of the introduction is to provide an overview and background of the City, introduce the structure of the budget, outline financial policies, and describe the budget development process. This introduction section includes background on the City's leadership and history, a demographic overview, the City's organizational chart, fund structure information, overview of budgetary and accounting principles, overview of financial policies, and an overview of the budget development process.
Budget Overview
This section provides a robust overview of the City's current financial position, an overview of budgeted revenues and expenditures, a summary of personnel, the City's top priorities and considerations in developing the 2023-2025 Operating Budget, an overview of the City's strategic plan, and summary of the Master Financial Plan (MFP).
Program Financial Summaries
The City of Lake Forest prepares a "program" budget. The program budget organizes functions by program area and assists in clearly and effectively communicating the City's service and spending priorities.
The Program Financial Summaries section contains the breakdown of the 2023-2025 Operating Budget by program area and program. Programs are organized into nine program areas which identify major services provided by the City:
Legislative
Management and Support
Public Safety
Infrastructure Maintenance Services
Planning, Engineering, Building and Safety
Transportation
Environmental Services
Culture, Leisure, and Recreation
Community Vitality and Engagement
Program budgets are grouped by program areas and include organizational charts and information about the department responsible for each program or program area. Each Program Financial Summary page contains the description of each program, a list of strategic plan initiatives and goals accomplished during the current budget cycle, and the initiatives and goals for the 2023- 2025 budget cycle. The objectives, accomplishments and performance measures are each tied to one or more initiatives from the City's Strategic Business Plan (Strategic Plan). Each program budget is summarized into twenty possible expenditure categories.
Each program summary also includes funding sources and personnel information.
Fund Summaries
The Fund Summaries section presents both summarized and detailed information about revenue sources and projected expenditures by fund and by fund grouping.
Supplemental Documents
This section includes items intended to assist the reader in further understanding the City of Lake Forest and the budget document.
Included in this section are the Financial Management and Budgetary Policy, the Risk Reserve Analysis, the Strategic Plan, the Capital Improvement Plan, and the Master Financial Plan with the City's seven-year financial forecast. Whereas, the Introduction and Budget Overview sections incorporate assumptions and information from these plans and analysis to assist in understanding the program financial summaries, this section includes the complete plans and analyses to review projections, assumptions, and goals in more detail.

Together, we will make it the best place to live, work and play while maintaining our small town's quality of life.”
City of Lake Forest | 2023-2025 Operating Budget 179 Page 14 Community History
Lake Forest incorporated as a new city, under the general laws of the State of California, on December 20, 1991. The City is Orange County’s 31st city and the second largest in the Saddleback Valley.
When Don José Serrano settled the area, which was originally called Rancho Cañada De Los Alisos (the Valley of the Sycamores), through a Mexican Land Grant in 1846, he may have envisioned the area as it is today -- an area rich in family values with a hometown feel. For more than a century, the land was known as El Toro, after the bulls that roamed Don José Serrano’s ranch. The land remained with Don José and his family until financial problems forced him to turn the land over to private interests. The legacy of the Serrano family lives on in Lake Forest through the Serrano Adobe - a part of the family’s original ranch - located in Heritage Hill Historical Park.
In the early 1900s, Dwight Whiting, a resident of the area, planted 400 acres of fast-growing eucalyptus trees as an answer to the California lumber shortage. Although the trees failed as a source of lumber, in the 1960s, master developer Occidental Petroleum decided to create a master-planned community around the trees and man-made lakes. The eucalyptus provided landscaping for the modern homes and led to the “Forest” in Lake Forest.
Although Lake Forest has been an official city in Orange County since 1991, its history began long before then. Beginning as an agricultural area like most of the Orange County region, Lake Forest began to grow rapidly following World War II. Residential, commercial and industrial development began to replace the acres of citrus and other agricultural products. A significant reason for the change was the growing importance of the El Toro Marine Base. The growth of the Base increased the need for new homes and support services. Over time, the Lake Forest area was built into the City we know today.
Efforts toward incorporation began in August 1989 when a group of citizens formed the Community Coalition for Incorporation.
Hoping to gain control of the issues affecting the Lake Forest area, the group worked toward gaining cityhood for Lake Forest. The group was successful in putting a measure on the ballot and cityhood was approved on March 5, 1991, along with the City's first City Council. On December 20, 1991, Lake Forest became the 31st City to incorporate in the County of Orange.
The City has grown in size from its original incorporated boundaries as a result of several annexations and is now 16.6 square miles.
City of Lake Forest | 2023-2025 Operating Budget 180 Page 15 The City of Lake Forest has balanced growth with an emphasis on quality of life. It provides a rich tapestry of activities for the young and old. The City features 31 public parks, which provide active recreational opportunities to area residents. The 1,500-acre Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park (County-operated) is in the northern part of the City and contains a vast amount of open space for hiking and equestrian activities.
The official City flower -- Purple Statice (Limonium), City bird – hummingbird, and City song -- “Beautiful City” by Steven Swartz, clearly acknowledge that Lake Forest is a beautiful city where “Remember the Past -- Challenge the Future” is more than just a slogan as we embrace the opportunities of today and tomorrow.

City of Lake Forest | 2023-2025 Operating Budget 186 Page 21 Fund Structure
City accounts are organized and operated on the basis of funds. Individual funds are used to allocate and account for government resources based on the purposes for which resources are meant to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. Each fund is considered a separate accounting entity. Fund operations are accounted for through separate sets of selfbalancing accounts that comprise assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures, for each fund as appropriate.
A description of each fund can be found on each of the governmental fund's fund summary pages in the Fund Summaries section of this budget document.

City of Lake Forest | 2023-2025 Operating Budget 187 Page 22 Budgetary Basis and Accounting Principles
Basis of Accounting
The basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the City's financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
Governmental funds are presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting. A modified accrual system recognizes increases and decreases in financial resources when they become measurable and available.
Revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period. Measurable means that the amounts can be estimated or otherwise determined. Available means that the amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to be available to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period.
Expenditures are generally recognized when payment is due; since it is only at that time they are normally liquidated with expendable available finance resources.
Governmental funds are presented using the current financial resources measurement focus. This means that only current assets, current liabilities, and deferred inflows or resources are generally included in fund balance sheets.
Basis of Budgeting
The budgets for governmental funds are prepared on a modified accrual basis. Revenue estimates for governmental funds include resources expected to be received and resources that will be measurable and available at year-end. The basis of budgeting for governmental funds differs from the basis of accounting for these funds in that each governmental fund's budget is based on expected obligations to be incurred.
City of Lake Forest | 2023-2025 Operating Budget 188 Page 23 Financial Management and Budgetary Policy

The desired policy outcome is that the long-term implications of financial decisions are fully understood and considered in the decision-making process.

City of Lake Forest | 2023-2025 Operating Budget 189 Page 24 Budget Development Process
The budget process is illustrated in the figure below. As demonstrated, community input regarding goal setting is important to this process. The information gathered through community input assists City Leadership in identifying meaningful goals for the twoyear operating budget.
Components of Developing the Budget
In the process of developing the Proposed Operating Budget, staff conducts several estimates, analyses, and activities to draft a proposed budget document for the City Council to review during a Budget Workshop. In addition to the internal revenue estimates, operating expenditure estimates, personnel costs, and capital purchase analyses conducted during the budget development process, City staff also develop a biennial Strategic Plan update, a Risk Reserve Analysis, and a 7 -year Financial Forecast to present to the City Council throughout the budget development and adoption process.

Following the gathering of public input and the initial stages of identifying the City's strategic priorities and issues, City staff begins the process of drafting a proposed budget and presents the budget to the City Council for adoption prior to June 30th in odd numbered years.
