2 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.

4 BUDGET USER’S
GUIDE
5 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.
6 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.
7 BUDGET USER’S GUIDE
Proprietary fund revenues and expenses are budgeted and accounted for on an accrual basis.

CITY OF LOMITA
CITY HALL OFFICES • 24300 NARBONNE AVENUE, LOMITA • CALIFORNIA 90717 (310) 325-7110 • FAX (310) 325-4024 • www.lomitacity.com June 16, 2026
Subject: City Manager’s Budget Message for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Dear Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Residents of Lomita:

It is my pleasure to submit to you the City of Lomita’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget 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. 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 2026-27 Budget builds on the many lessons learned from challenging times 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 Annual 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 for the next fiscal year. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 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 $21 Million over the next year 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. As costs continue to outpace revenues statewide, the City Council took the calculated step to add a ¼ cent sales tax ballot measure to the June 2, 2025 Special Municipal Election. With 50% plus one of residents voting in favor of Measure LW, Lomita made the monumental decision to ensure approximately $650,000 in ongoing revenue is directed and spent only in Lomita.

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 of long-range stability.

Keeping Lomita a safe community to live, work, and play remains the City’s top priority. Specifically, public safety and investment in infrastructure were the top priorities of Lomita residents when asked in the community survey, “Let’s Talk Lomita.” Similar to the previous 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 emergency response, supporting seniors, and safe and reliable infrastructure. Among the notable investments featured in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget is the 13 CITY HALL OFFICES • 24300 NARBONNE AVENUE, LOMITA • CALIFORNIA 90717 (310) 325-7110 • FAX (310) 325-4024 • www.lomitacity.com expected completion of the Lomita Water System’s granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration upgrades at the City’s Cypress Water Production Facility, which will ensure Lomita is served safe and healthy drinking water for many years. Additional public safety and traffic safety efforts are also included with additional patrol deputies through our partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

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 $14 million. Within the City’s General Fund, the primary funding source for government-wide obligations, revenues are projected to be $17,602,287 for Fiscal Year 2026-27, and with planned expenditures of $17,602,287. The overall budget 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 2026-2027 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 2026-27 are projected at $17,602,287, an increase of $342,101 from FY 2025-26 Amended Adopted Budget.

Some of the most significant year-to-year changes in funding for FY 2026-27 is listed below:
• Sales tax revenue (Bradley-Burns and Measure L revenues combined) is projected at $5.5 million, a net increase of $270,314 from FY 2025-26 Amended Adopted Budget and represents 31% of total general fund revenues.
14 CITY HALL OFFICES • 24300 NARBONNE AVENUE, LOMITA • CALIFORNIA 90717 (310) 325-7110 • FAX (310) 325-4024 • www.lomitacity.com • Motor Vehicle In-Lieu revenue is projected at $3.3 million, a net increase of $200,000 from FY 2025-26 Amended Adopted Budget and represents 19% of total general fund revenues. • Property tax revenue is projected at $2.4 million, a net increase of $200,000 from FY 2025- 26 Amended Adopted Budget and represents 14% of total general fund revenues. • Business License Fees are projected at $950,000, an increase of $100,000 from FY 2025- 26 Amended Adopted Budget and represent 5% of total general fund revenues. • Building Department Fees are projected at $1,000,000, an increase of $50,000 from FY 2025-26 Amended Adopted Budget and represent 6% of total general fund revenues.

General Fund Expenditures
Preliminary projections for the coming years were developed in early 2026, 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 2026-27 are projected at $17,602,287 – an increase of $237,858 from FY 2025-26 Amended Adopted 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:
• Zone G Pipe Replacement Project.
• Doria/Woodward Street Reconstruction Project.
• South Bay Local Travel Network Project (SBCCOG Grant). • Citywide School Zone Improvements Project (SBCCOG Grant). • Programming resources to enhance our disaster recovery efforts, cybersecurity, and broadband infrastructure upgrades.

Summary Conclusions
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 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 2026-27 Budget provides a spending plan that maintains Lomita’s tradition of fiscal responsibility while building and investing in the things that make Lomita strong.
