PROFILE OF LOMITA
The City of Lomita is located 26 miles south of downtown Los Angeles and is bounded by the City of Torrance on the north and west, the City of Los Angeles to the east, and the City of Rolling Hills Estates on the southwest. Southeast of Lomita is the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and unincorporated County land. The City’s total land area is 1,196.8 acres or 1.97 square miles.
The City of Lomita “began” as a residential tract (Lomita Subdivision) in the early 1900s. In 1907, the Lomita Subdivision covered seven square miles. As the lots were sold, water wells, a school, a general store (with a post office), and other businesses soon followed. In 1909, churches were built and in 1920, the Bank of Lomita was established.
In 1923, oil in the area was discovered while drilling for water. The resulting “oil boom” in the area led to the conversion of residential lots into oil fields. Rapid growth occurred in the Lomita area, as egg ranches, fruit orchards and agricultural uses formed the community. Lomita became a center for the agriculture and oil extraction activities in the South Bay area.
In the 1940s and 1950s, portions of the Lomita Subdivision were annexed by adjacent cities.
By 1964, only 1.97 square miles of the Lomita Subdivision remained when the City of Lomita finally incorporated. Lomita is a contract City with a Council-Manager form of government. The City Council is elected at large to four-year terms. The Mayor is selected by the City Council for a one-year term.
Today, the City is almost completely developed, and the remaining vacant land is limited to scattered parcels. Existing development in the City is characterized by residential neighborhoods at varying densities, with commercial uses concentrated along Pacific Coast Highway, Lomita Boulevard, Crenshaw Boulevard, Narbonne Avenue and Western Avenue.
The Lomita Railroad Museum is the only one of its kind west of Denver, Colorado, and was made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Irene Lewis who donated the museum to the City in honor of her late husband. Complete authenticity is the hallmark of the museum that is dedicated to the proud era of the steam engine.
In 1990 the City took over Water District 13 from the County of Los Angeles and has been successfully operating its own water department ever since.

BUDGET USER’S
GUIDE
May 7, 2024, SP CC Mtg., Page # 105
BUDGET USER’S GUIDE
The Lomita City Council adopts the Annual Budget by formal resolution, prior to July 1st of each year. The budget serves as a financial plan for the City which identifies the projected allocation and application of resources over the budget cycle.
The Annual Budget is designed to present summary information about the City’s financial plans for the year in a user-friendly format. The Budget is organized by department, and the programs within the departments. Expenditures are displayed and subtotaled by type:
• Salaries & Benefits
• Operating Expenditures
• Capital Outlay.
The Budget Summary illustrates the fund(s) to which a program allocates its expenditures.
The Annual Budget also includes the following sections:
Introduction Section: Includes the Table of Contents, List of City Officials, City Organization Chart, Profile of Lomita, and Facts & Figures About Lomita.
City of Lomita Budget User’s Guide: Includes overview of Annual Budget, detailing citywide revenues, expenditures, and fund balances.
Operating Budgets: Includes program budgets by department, with narratives highlighting the prior year accomplishments, explaining the function of the program, uses and sources of funds, line-item detail, budget comment worksheets, and department salary expense worksheets.
Appendix: Includes Revenue Fund Definitions and Authorized Uses, Glossary of Terms, and Acronyms List.
BUDGET PROCESS
The City’s budget process begins with the distribution of a Budget Preparation manual, which contains:
• Budget Schedule
• Current Organization Chart
• Accomplishments (prior year document) for updating
• Revenue Worksheets
• Expenditure Worksheets
• Capital Improvement Program Worksheets
• Budget Comment Worksheets
Line-item budget development is accomplished through the City’s financial system, which allows each department to build its budget using computerized worksheets. The individual departments are directly responsible for developing the Materials & Supplies line items and part-time employees’ salaries. The remaining Salary & Benefit information is calculated and entered by the Administrative Services Department.
May 7, 2024, SP CC Mtg., Page # 116
BUDGET USER’S GUIDE
All supplemental budget requests (new personnel, service, or equipment) are presented on separate forms and are subject to City Manager review and approval before becoming part of the operating budget. All proposed budget information is compiled, printed, and distributed to the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and the Department Directors. The revenue estimates are reviewed with the department budget requests to determine available funding levels for the fiscal year. The City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Administrative Services Director then meet with the departments to review the operating and supplemental budget requests.
Once the budget data has been reviewed and all changes have been made by the Administrative Services Department, a Proposed Budget is prepared. After final review and approval by the City Manager and Assistant City Manager, the Proposed Budget is presented to the City Council at a scheduled Budget Study Session. Prior to June 30, a Public Hearing is held by the City Council, and the Annual Budget is adopted by resolution.
During the fiscal year, the budget can be amended as necessary to meet the City’s needs. The City Council has the legal authority to amend the budget at any time. Department Directors may only authorize expenditures based on appropriations previously approved by City Council action, and only from accounts under their organizational responsibility. Actual expenditures may exceed budget appropriations by line-item but may not exceed the department’s budget.
The City Manager has the authority to approve interdepartmental appropriation transfers as long as they are within the same fund. Interfund transfers require a budget amendment by the City Council.
BASIC ACCOUNTING
City of Lomita’s accounting system is maintained on a fund basis, in accordance with governmental accounting standards. Each of the City’s twenty-eight funds is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that records assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures. Funds are established and segregated for the purpose of recording specific programs or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations.
Funds are classified into one of three categories: governmental (general, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects), proprietary (enterprise and internal service), and fiduciary (trust and agency). Governmental funds account for activities usually associated with a typical state or local government’s operation. Proprietary funds are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent is to recover the costs of providing goods and services from user charges. Fiduciary funds are utilized in situations where the government is acting in a fiduciary capacity as a trustee or an agent.
All governmental funds are budgeted and accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting, which recognizes revenues when they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., measurable, and available. Available means collectible in the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Examples of such revenues include property tax, sales tax, and interest earnings. Expenditures are recognized when the fund liability is incurred.

Staff enlisted contract instructors to offer several different cultural and leisure classes. Courses focused on martial arts, tennis, soccer training, gymnastics, adult fitness, art class, senior fitness, cardio salsa dance, and dog obedience training.
Country line dancing class has quickly become a Lomita favorite with 3 course offerings.
Lomita Park offered Lego Camp, Tennis Camp, Brit West Soccer Camp, and the famous Lomita Park Basketball Camp in the Summer.
