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.

GUIDE

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.
66 Tuesday, June 18, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *173
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.

CITY HALL OFFICES • 24300 NARBONNE AVENUE, LOMITA • CALIFORNIA 90717 (310) 325-7110 • FAX (310) 325-4024 • www.lomitacity.com June 18, 2024
Subject: City Manager’s FY 2024-2026 Budget Message
Dear Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Residents of Lomita:

It is my pleasure to submit to you the Fiscal Year Biennial 2024-2026 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget for the City of Lomita for your consideration and adoption. The City Council is committed to setting a high standard for service delivery, and this budget reflects the goals and vision established by the City Council at its last Strategic Planning Session. With the uncertainty from the once in a lifetime COVID-19 Pandemic mostly in our rearview, the City continues to persevere and to meet the needs of the community. I am proud of our organization and its dedicated staff who serve this community with unwavering resilience and compassion to carry Lomita forward.

The Fiscal Year 2024-26 Biennial Budget builds on the many lessons learned from the Pandemic and sets lofty goals for the Lomita team to accomplish. I look forward to working with each of you, and our small but mighty staff, to carry out your vision with the utmost prudency and fiduciary responsibility.

The Biennial Budget enables the City to better plan for revenues and expenditures over the intermediate term and provides the public with a clear plan for investments in the community beyond one single fiscal year. The Fiscal Year 2024-26 Biennial Budget is balanced without the use of any carryover funds, and benefits from additional revenues committed through the approval of Measure L while representing a total investment of more than $74 Million over the next two years into the Lomita community.

While the budget plan reflects significant investments in the future of the community, we remain prepared for potential upcoming challenges while prudently monitoring the balancing of revenues and expenditures. With revenues still in the process of returning to pre-pandemic levels, one-time federal funding helped the City bridge revenue challenges experienced in FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 budget so that essential programs and services continued to be delivered without interruption. Moreover, the City Council’s sound policymaking and vision enabled the City to make strategic investments to core services and programs that create opportunities for residents and business to thrive, despite cost increases outpacing revenues. The City Council’s commitment to fiscal prudence and modernization of our revenue structure will keep us on the road to recovery and long-range stability.

Keeping Lomita a safe community to live, work, and play remains the City’s top priority. Similar to the previous Biennial Budget, priority is given to the services that maintain the exceptional quality of life in Lomita, such as comprehensive public safety resources and programs for fast emergency response, supporting seniors, and safe and reliable infrastructure. Among the notable investments featured in the Fiscal Year 2024-26 Biennial Budget is the expected completion of the Lomita Water System’s granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration upgrades at the City’s water production facility, which will ensure a continued a safe and healthy water system for many years.

The City operates with 35 governmental funds, including the General Fund (and its miscellaneous fund components), Special Revenue funds, Capital Project funds, and Internal Service funds. The City’s General Fund comprises approximately 46% of the total revenue and 42% of the total expenditures for the City in the Budget, accounting for the majority of the City’s fiscal operation.

The General Fund is the City’s primary source of funding for general City operations and is the fund most directly available for appropriation by the City Council. For this reason, it is the focus of this letter, though all funds are accounted for in the proposed budget.

Two Enterprise funds (Water Operations and Water Capital) contribute to approximately 35% of the City’s overall revenue stream and make up 32% of its total expenditures and are intended to be self-supporting.

Overall revenues are projected to increase by almost $3 million. Within the City’s General Fund, the primary funding source for governmentwide obligations, revenues are projected to be $14,990,643 and $15,143,186 for Fiscal Years 2024-25 and 2025-26, respectively, with planned expenditures of $14,990,643 and $15,143,186. The overall budget in each fiscal year has been balanced without the use of the City’s Reserves or transfers from other funds.

Below is an overview of the major General Fund revenue sources and expenditures with comparisons to previous years:

General Fund Overview of Fiscal Year 2024-2026 Biennial Budget The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to some other funds are accounted for in this fund. Expenditures of this fund include the general operating expenses which are not paid through other funds.

Although the economy has continued to pull itself out of the pandemic-induced recession, City staff is monitoring indications that the economy may be on a pre-recessionary path due to high inflation, shortages, and other economic indicators. In light of this, the revenue projections included in the budget continue to be conservative, and reflective of the uncertainty related to the economic recovery. A more detailed account is described below.

General Fund Revenues
General fund revenues for FY 2024-25 are projected at $14,990,643, an increase of $370,492 from FY 2023-24 Amended Adopted Budget. General fund revenues for FY 2025-26 are projected at $15,143,186, an increase of $152,543 from FY 2024-25.

Some of the most significant year-to-year changes in funding for FY 2024-25 is listed below:
• Sales tax revenue (Bradley-Burns and Measure L revenues combined) is projected at $5.12 million, a net decrease of $72,857 from FY 2023-24 Amended Adopted Budget and represents 34% of total general fund revenues.

General Fund Expenditures
Preliminary projections for the coming years were developed in early 2024, but specific expenditure categories and programs were developed following the City Council’s Strategic Planning and Goal Setting sessions. The expenditures detailed below represent our efforts to drive those goals forward.

General fund expenditures for FY 2024-25 are projected at $14,990,643 – an increase of $168,042 from FY 2023-24 Amended Adopted Budget. General fund expenditures for FY 2025-26 are projected at $15,143,186 – an increase of $152,543 from the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget.

Adjustments to expenditures include augmenting our Public Safety and Traffic safety efforts, increasing our ongoing efforts to rebuild our streets, and building up our capacity to grow and prepare for the recovery and rebuilding of our State and local economies. They also include continued implementation of the General Plan Updates, technology, and digital infrastructure upgrades, and increasing the City’s voice in State and federal affairs - especially as it relates to local control.

Some of the major expenditure adjustments in the budget includes the following:
• Investing an additional $200,000 for each Fiscal Year into the City’s Street Improvement Fund above what has already been programmed for upcoming street rehabilitation projects. • Investing $200,000 in FY 2024-25 for City Hall Upgrades. • Adding engineering staff to expedite delivery of Capital Improvement Projects and Water Operations staff in anticipation of the completion of the GAC upgrades to the Cypress Water Production Facility.
• Programming resources to enhance our disaster recovery efforts, cybersecurity, and broadband infrastructure upgrades.

Summary Conclusions
The Fiscal Year Biennial 2024-26 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget keeps our organization moving forward and capitalizes on opportunities to grow and adjust. It maintains and builds critical services and invests in long term infrastructure improvements to enhance the quality of life of our residents.

In summary, the Fiscal Year Biennial 2024-26 Budget provides a spending plan that maintains Lomita’s tradition of fiscal responsibility while building and investing in the things that make Lomita strong.

CITY OF LOMITA
FISCAL YEAR 2024-2026

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
I. PURPOSE AND POLICY
This statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporary idle cash, and to outline the procedures for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system.

It is the policy of the City of Lomita to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting daily cash flow demands and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

II. SCOPE
This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City of Lomita. These funds are accounted for in the City of Lomita’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and include the following funds:

A. General Fund
B. Special Revenue Funds
C. Capital Project Funds
D. Enterprise Fund
E. Fiduciary Funds
III. PRUDENCE
Investments shall be made with judgement and care—under circumstances then prevailing—which persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of capital as well as the probable income to be derived.

The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “prudent person” and/or “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

IV. OBJECTIVE
The City's cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast revenues and expenditures, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible.

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *315

In conformance with California Government Code Sec. 53600.5, the City attempts to obtain the highest yield obtainable as long as investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.

Objectives for selecting investments and the order of priority are:

1. Safety - The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest, or a combination of these amounts. The City should select only those investments that are considered very safe. The City shall not engage in speculation.

2. Liquidity - This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality especially when the need for unexpected funds occurs.

3. Yield - Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and sometimes is referred to as the rate of return.

4. Public Trust – While managing the city’s portfolio, the treasurer and their staff will avoid any transactions that might impair public confidence in the local agency.

V. INVESTMENT PROCEDURES
The City Manager shall establish written investment policy procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this policy. The procedures should include reference to safekeeping, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City Manager.

VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the City Manager any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business within their jurisdiction, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City of Lomita.

VII. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City of Lomita’s investment program is derived from City Council Resolution. Management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated to the City Manager who shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and their procedures in the absence of the City Manager.

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *316

VIII. SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
Deposits of surplus funds must be made in State or National banks, State or Federal savings associations or State or Federal credit unions within the State of California. The deposits cannot exceed the amount of the institution’s paid-up capital and surplus.
