Agenda Item No. 21.
Section: ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENDA
Meeting Date: June 11, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Diego Viramontes, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution No. 2025-75 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MCFARLAND APPROVING THE CITY’S ANNUAL
OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 AND 2025-30
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
SUMMARY:
It is my privilege to present the Proposed Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2025–2026 for the City of McFarland. This budget reflects a continued commitment to fiscal discipline, strategic infrastructure investment, and service delivery that meets the evolving needs of our community.
The past year was one of substantial progress and persistent challenges. We continued to strengthen our financial foundation, launched critical infrastructure initiatives, and furthered our efforts to enhance public safety and economic opportunity in McFarland. This budget builds on the priorities previously set by the City Council:
• Stabilize City Finances
• Sustainable Infrastructure
• Neighborly and Safe Community
• Efficient and Effective Government
These guiding pillars remain central to our budget development process and inform the allocation of our limited resources in a manner that maximizes impact and long-term benefit to our residents.
GENERAL FUND OVERVIEW
The General Fund serves as the financial foundation of the City of McFarland, supporting vital municipal services including public safety, public works, parks, community development, and general government operations. Balancing the General Fund for FY 2025–26 required deliberate and disciplined planning, with a continued focus on controlling costs, enhancing revenue, and improving operational efficiency across all departments.
As in prior years, the City continues to face growing fiscal pressures, particularly from rising costs in public safety and contract services, most notably the significant increases in our Fire Services agreement with the County. Compounding these challenges is the fact that
McFarland still operates with a relatively limited revenue base, which requires constant vigilance and proactive financial management.
In response, we have made targeted investments in technology to modernize how we deliver services and manage resources. This includes the launch of online systems for utility billing, business licensing, and building permitting—initiatives that not only improve accessibility for residents and businesses but also streamline internal workflows. Tools like RoadAI are helping prioritize road maintenance needs in real time, ensuring limited funds are used efficiently. These innovations are designed to maximize every tax dollar and reduce long-term operating costs through smarter service delivery and better data.
The City’s efforts to grow and diversify its revenue base are also well underway. The planned buildout of Annexations 18, 19, and 20 will bring in new residential and commercial development, which is expected to increase property tax, sales tax, and development-related revenues. These areas will be critical to sustaining General Fund operations and enabling future investment in infrastructure and services.
We continue to take a conservative approach to expenditures. Departments were directed to maintain flat budgets wherever possible, with increases limited to those essential for maintaining core services or meeting legal obligations. We are actively reviewing job classifications, reassigning responsibilities internally, and reducing reliance on consultants where in-house capacity can be developed or strengthened.
Looking ahead, our financial strategy is centered on efficiency, sustainability, and transparency. We are modernizing internal financial systems to improve forecasting, enhance oversight, and support long-term decision-making. Our goal is to build a resilient General Fund that protects essential services, supports future growth, and upholds the City’s commitment to fiscal responsibility.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS OVERVIEW
Enterprise funds are established for operations that offer services to the public on a user charge basis, much like private business enterprises. These include our water, sewer, refuse, and transit services, which are critical for the daily functioning and health of our city. Ensuring that the costs of providing these services can be recovered through user charges is key to maintaining the balance and effectiveness of these funds.
Our major enterprise funds – the sewer and water funds – are facing significant fiscal challenges in aligning revenues with the necessary operating and capital costs in providing these essential services. Addressing these fiscal challenges requires strategic action, and our staff and City Council are doing precisely that.
We have been actively pursuing all possible avenues of funding for these crucial areas. Efforts include requesting financial assistance from the State Water Resources Control Board and actively engaging with our local, state, and federal representatives to solicit their support. Our determined and persistent advocacy for our city's needs demonstrates our commitment to ensuring the continued delivery of these essential services to our residents.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP)
The Capital Improvement Program represents our city's strategic blueprint for infrastructure enhancement and development. This ambitious program outlines our priorities for improvements not only for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 but also for the following four years.
Several significant projects outlined in our CIP reflect the comprehensive approach we are taking to improve the city's infrastructure. These include the construction of a new police station, major road reconstruction projects, and significant improvements to our water and sewer systems.
1. New Police Station ($14 Million): A new, modern facility is essential for our law enforcement to effectively meet the evolving needs of our city. This project is a top priority, given the importance of public safety in our community.
2. Road Reconstruction ($16.7 Million): Several key road reconstruction projects are part of our commitment to improving and maintaining the city's infrastructure. These projects, in conjunction with our innovative pavement management system featuring maltene replacement technology, will enhance the safety, efficiency, and lifespan of our roads.
3. Water and Sewer System Improvements ($58.9 Million): Essential for the daily life and health of our city, upgrades to our water and sewer systems are a critical component of our infrastructure efforts. Through strong advocacy for state and federal assistance, we aim to secure funding to meet these needs.
These capital projects are not just improvements; they are investments in the future of McFarland. They aim to enhance the wellbeing of our residents, contribute to our city's growth, and ensure the long-term sustainability of our community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Proposed citywide appropriations for fiscal year 2025-26 are $49,775,039.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve and adopt the proposed annual operating budget for the fiscal year 2025- 2026.
2. Approve and adopt the 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program.

FY 2025–26
1
The City of McFarland, California, is a small but vibrant community with deep agricultural roots and a rich history. Nestled in Kern County just 25 miles north of Bakersfield, McFarland spans 2.67 square miles and has grown steadily since its founding in 1907. Over the years, the city has experienced key milestones that continue to shape its identity and spirit today.
1907 – Founding of McFarland
McFarland was founded by James Boyd
McFarland, who purchased land in the
area and began developing the town.
His vision was to create an agricultural
hub in the fertile San Joaquin Valley.
McFarland experienced major growth as the
Central Valley’s agriculture industry boomed.
Families came from across the region to work in
farming, which shaped the city’s strong
agricultural roots. As a result McFarland
officially incorporated as a city, establishing
formal governance.
1965 – State Route 99 Expansion
The expansion of State Route 99 brought
better accessibility and growth to the city.
It helped link McFarland to neighboring
cities and the rest of California.
Between the 1970s and 1990s, McFarland experienced
steady population growth as agricultural jobs attracted new families. In response, the city expanded housing,
improved public facilities, and developed parks to
support the growing community.
2015 – City Spotlight in Film
The release of Disney’s McFarland, USA
brought national attention to the city,
showcasing McFarland’s community strength,
perseverance, and rich cultural roots through
the story of its legendary cross-country team.
McFarland remains a tight-knit, diverse community that
honors its agricultural roots while embracing growth. With recent annexations totaling in over 2,000 acres the city continues to invest in public safety, infrastructure, and economic development, strengthening its foundation while building toward a vibrant and sustainable future. McFarland is committed to preserving its history and improving the quality of life for all residents.

BUDGET MESSAGE
June 11, 2025
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
It is my privilege to present the Proposed Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2025–2026 for the City of McFarland. This budget reflects a continued commitment to fiscal discipline, strategic infrastructure investment, and service delivery that meets the evolving needs of our community.
The past year was one of substantial progress and persistent challenges. We continued to strengthen our financial foundation, launched critical infrastructure initiatives, and furthered our efforts to enhance public safety and economic opportunity in McFarland. This budget builds on the priorities previously set by the City Council:
Stabilize City Finances
Sustainable Infrastructure
Neighborly and Safe Community
Efficient and Effective Government
These guiding pillars remain central to our budget development process and inform the allocation of our limited resources in a manner that maximizes impact and long-term benefit to our residents.
Stabilize City Finances
We are entering FY 2025–26 with a more stabilized financial outlook than in prior years, thanks in large part to prudent budgeting, improved revenue collection practices, and the trust of our community in passing Measures M and O. However, financial headwinds persist. We continue to face increased costs in our Fire Services contract and upward pressure on public safety expenditures. In response, we are actively evaluating long-term alternatives to our current fire services model and exploring cost recovery mechanisms, including emergency medical services billing.
Looking ahead, commercial and industrial development will be a driving force in shaping McFarland’s future. We are making significant progress on Annexation 18, a project that has been propelled forward by the Kern Council of Governments’ approval to proceed with the design phase of the Whisler Interchange. This critical infrastructure project will unlock the full potential of our industrial and commercial land, transforming the City’s long-term vision into a reality of economic opportunity and job creation.
Beyond Annexation 18, we are also advancing Annexations 19 and 20, which will add more than 300 acres to the city, expanding both our commercial and residential footprint. These annexations are 6
BUDGET MESSAGE
paving the way for sustained economic growth, new business opportunities, and a stronger local economy. Thanks to strong partnerships and a shared commitment to McFarland’s future, we are moving quickly to bring these plans to life.
We also continue to evaluate our overall tax structure and fiscal policies to ensure long-term sustainability of General Fund services. Strategic annexations, thoughtful land use planning, and proactive engagement with property owners and regional partners are essential to expanding our revenue base without increasing the financial burden on residents.
Sustainable Infrastructure
McFarland’s infrastructure priorities remain front and center, with the past year marking meaningful progress on some of our most urgent needs. Thanks to the persistence of the Mayor and City staff, the City successfully secured funding for both the construction and purchase of a treatment system at the Browning Road Well. This achievement allowed us to stop the financial strain of renting the system— previously costing nearly $100,000 per month—and saved ratepayers millions in the process.
Building on that momentum, the City secured $8.5 million for a permanent replacement well for the Browning Road well. The test well process is already underway, and we are committed to completing construction by the end of 2026. While these are major milestones, McFarland continues to face significant challenges. Many of the City’s state-funded critical water infrastructure projects have been deferred, leaving the city in a vulnerable position.
In addition to water reliability concerns, wastewater capacity is another critical area of focus. For the past three years, the City of McFarland has worked closely with the State Water Resources Control Board to develop the preliminary design for a $17 million wastewater expansion project. The City continues to advocate for renewed prioritization and funding from state partners to move the wastewater expansion project forward.
Flood mitigation remains a longstanding challenge, particularly for McFarland’s most disadvantaged communities. Although the source of flooding from Poso Creek lies outside city limits, its impact is felt directly within our neighborhoods. In partnership with local landowners and with support from The Wonderful Company, the City secured a 12-acre site to serve as both a flood retention basin and yearround dog park. Preliminary design and cost estimates are underway, and we have submitted multiple funding requests to bring this project to life.
As we move forward, our focus remains on delivering critical infrastructure projects, strengthening inhouse engineering capacity, and ensuring that all residents—particularly those in our most vulnerable neighborhoods—have access to reliable, safe, and modern infrastructure.
Neighborly and Safe Community
Public safety remains a cornerstone of our city’s mission, and over the past year, we have made significant investments to enhance the tools, training, and facilities available to our police department.
We’ve expanded our drone program, upgraded Tasers, continued deploying license plate reader technology, and fully implemented body-worn cameras. We have also secured new patrol vehicles and introduced a K-9 unit, all while continuing to emphasize professional development and transparency. 7
BUDGET MESSAGE
The centerpiece of our long-term strategy is the construction of a new police facility. With $5 million already secured from the State, the City is actively pursuing the remaining $9 million needed to complete the $14 million project. The current station—only 1,900 square feet—is severely inadequate for a department of more than 30 sworn officers, dispatchers, and administrative staff. We remain committed to breaking ground by the end of 2025 and establishing a modern facility that also houses a critical Emergency Operations Center.
While we have made great strides in improving public safety, we remain deeply committed to seeking justice for victims and their families. Our administration inherited 26 unsolved homicide cases, and we refuse to let them be forgotten. To renew efforts in solving these cases, we launched the Unsolved Major Crimes Reward Program, which encourages community involvement by offering financial incentives for information leading to arrests. We’ve also created a dedicated webpage to highlight McFarland’s unsolved homicides and expanded outreach across social media and community networks to elevate public awareness. Looking ahead, we are actively pursuing grant funding to hire a full-time investigator focused solely on cold cases—reopening investigations, following up on new leads, and working to bring long-awaited closure to families.
Our vision for a neighborly and safe McFarland requires more than just facilities and equipment—it demands persistence, compassion, and partnership with the community. We will continue to deliver on that vision with urgency and integrity.
Efficient and Effective Government
McFarland continues to build the foundation for a modern, responsive, and accountable local government. In response to ongoing fiscal constraints, the City has invested strategically in technology to streamline operations and improve service delivery to the public. These advancements include the transition to online platforms for utility billing, business licensing, and building permitting—making key services more accessible and efficient for residents and businesses alike.
We’ve also implemented RoadAI, a real-time road conditions assessment tool that helps prioritize maintenance needs and supports long-term pavement management planning. These tools not only enhance our responsiveness but allow staff to work more efficiently with limited resources.
Looking ahead, we are focusing on strengthening our internal records management systems and upgrading our IT infrastructure to support the expanding digital environment. These improvements are essential for maintaining operational continuity, safeguarding data, and positioning McFarland for future growth.
Our commitment to building a first-class government organization remains strong. From leadership participation in regional initiatives to staff training, educational support, and the expansion of our internship program, we are investing in both people and systems to ensure McFarland operates with professionalism, efficiency, and a service-first mindset.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The City of McFarland’s financial future is closely tied to the broader economic landscape, and recent projections by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) for 2025–2035 offer both context and considerations for our local economy.
8
BUDGET MESSAGE
Economic growth is expected to moderate in the near term. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is projected to grow by 1.9 percent in 2025 and 1.8 percent in 2026, reflecting slower consumer and government spending, along with a decline in private nonresidential investment. After 2026, GDP growth is expected to stabilize at an average of 1.8 percent annually through 2035, driven primarily by productivity gains and gradual increases in the labor force.
Inflation is forecasted to ease as economic activity cools. The CBO projects that inflation, as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, will decline from an estimated 2.5 percent in 2024 to 2.2 percent in 2025 and 2.1 percent in 2026. Inflation is expected to align with the Federal Reserve’s long-term target of 2 percent beginning in 2027 and remain stable thereafter. This trend, if realized, will help preserve the purchasing power of public funds and improve long-term financial planning for the City.
9
BUDGET MESSAGE
The Federal Reserve began reducing interest rates in late 2024, and those cuts are expected to continue through 2026. The federal funds rate is projected to decline to 3.7 percent by the end of 2025 and 3.4 percent by the end of 2026. Longer-term interest rates, including 10-year Treasury notes, are also expected to decline and then hold steady. This creates a more favorable environment for debt financing of major infrastructure projects and capital needs.
Unemployment, meanwhile, is expected to rise modestly due to the slowing pace of economic expansion. The CBO forecasts the national unemployment rate will reach 4.3 percent by the end of 2025 and 4.4 percent by the end of 2026, with a gradual decline thereafter. This may have near-term impacts on local employment conditions but could stabilize over time as labor markets adjust.
Overall, the national outlook suggests a period of slower but steady economic growth, falling inflation, and easing interest rates. These trends present opportunities for McFarland to strategically invest in 10
BUDGET MESSAGE
infrastructure and economic development while continuing to monitor potential fiscal impacts from broader labor market shifts.
GENERAL FUND OVERVIEW
The General Fund serves as the financial foundation of the City of McFarland, supporting vital municipal services including public safety, public works, parks, community development, and general government operations. Balancing the General Fund for FY 2025–26 required deliberate and disciplined planning, with a continued focus on controlling costs, enhancing revenue, and improving operational efficiency across all departments.
As in prior years, the City continues to face growing fiscal pressures, particularly from rising costs in public safety and contract services, most notably the significant increases in our Fire Services agreement with the County. Compounding these challenges is the fact that McFarland still operates with a relatively limited revenue base, which requires constant vigilance and proactive financial management.
In response, we have made targeted investments in technology to modernize how we deliver services and manage resources. This includes the launch of online systems for utility billing, business licensing, and building permitting—initiatives that not only improve accessibility for residents and businesses but also streamline internal workflows. Tools like RoadAI are helping prioritize road maintenance needs in real time, ensuring limited funds are used efficiently. These innovations are designed to maximize every tax dollar and reduce long-term operating costs through smarter service delivery and better data.
The City’s efforts to grow and diversify its revenue base are also well underway. The planned buildout of Annexations 18, 19, and 20 will bring in new residential and commercial development, which is expected to increase property tax, sales tax, and development-related revenues. These areas will be critical to sustaining General Fund operations and enabling future investment in infrastructure and services.
General Fund Revenue
11
BUDGET MESSAGE
Sources used in developing General Fund revenue projections include:
Long and short-term trends in key City revenues and expenditures. Economic trends as reported in the national media.
State and regional economic forecasts prepared by the University of California, Los Angeles; California Economic Forecast; and Beacon Economics.
Economic and fiscal information developed by the State Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO), State Department of Finance and State Controller.
Fiscal and legislative analysis by the League of California Cities. Analysis by the City’s sales tax advisor (HdL).
General Fund Operating Expenditures
We continue to take a conservative approach to expenditures. Departments were directed to maintain flat budgets wherever possible, with increases limited to those essential for maintaining core services or meeting legal obligations. We are actively reviewing job classifications, reassigning responsibilities internally, and reducing reliance on consultants where in-house capacity can be developed or strengthened.
Looking ahead, our financial strategy is centered on efficiency, sustainability, and transparency. We are modernizing internal financial systems to improve forecasting, enhance oversight, and support longterm decision-making. Our goal is to build a resilient General Fund that protects essential services, supports future growth, and upholds the City’s commitment to fiscal responsibility.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS OVERVIEW
Enterprise funds are established for operations that offer services to the public on a user charge basis, much like private business enterprises. These include our water, sewer, refuse, and transit services, which are critical for the daily functioning and health of our city. Ensuring that the costs of providing 12
BUDGET MESSAGE
these services can be recovered through user charges is key to maintaining the balance and effectiveness of these funds.
Our major enterprise funds – the sewer and water funds – are facing significant fiscal challenges in aligning revenues with the necessary operating and capital costs in providing these essential services.
Addressing these fiscal challenges requires strategic action, and our staff and City Council are doing precisely that.
We have been actively pursuing all possible avenues of funding for these crucial areas. Efforts include requesting financial assistance from the State Water Resources Control Board and actively engaging with our local, state, and federal representatives to solicit their support. Our determined and persistent advocacy for our city's needs demonstrates our commitment to ensuring the continued delivery of these essential services to our residents.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP)
The Capital Improvement Program represents our city's strategic blueprint for infrastructure enhancement and development. This ambitious program outlines our priorities for improvements not only for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 but also for the following four years.
Several significant projects outlined in our CIP reflect the comprehensive approach we are taking to improve the city's infrastructure. These include the construction of a new police station, major road reconstruction projects, and significant improvements to our water and sewer systems.
1. New Police Station ($14 Million): A new, modern facility is essential for our law enforcement to effectively meet the evolving needs of our city. This project is a top priority, given the importance of public safety in our community.
2. Road Reconstruction ($16.7 Million): Several key road reconstruction projects are part of our commitment to improving and maintaining the city's infrastructure. These projects, in conjunction with our innovative pavement management system featuring maltene replacement technology, will enhance the safety, efficiency, and lifespan of our roads.
3. Water and Sewer System Improvements ($58.9 Million): Essential for the daily life and health of our city, upgrades to our water and sewer systems are a critical component of our infrastructure efforts. Through strong advocacy for state and federal assistance, we aim to secure funding to meet these needs.
These capital projects are not just improvements; they are investments in the future of McFarland. They aim to enhance the wellbeing of our residents, contribute to our city's growth, and ensure the long-term sustainability of our community.

BUDGET MESSAGE
Conclusion
The Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Budget represents a continued commitment to fiscal responsibility, strategic investment, and community-focused governance. This year’s budget builds on the progress we’ve made over the past several years—stabilizing city finances, expanding infrastructure, and strengthening public safety—while confronting the ongoing challenges of rising costs, aging systems, and a limited revenue base.
Through thoughtful planning and relentless advocacy, the City has secured critical funding for major water projects, advanced public safety initiatives, and leveraged technology to improve service delivery and operational efficiency. At the same time, we’ve laid the groundwork for future economic development through annexations, infrastructure planning, and key partnerships. Every decision made in this budget reflects our mission to maximize limited resources, protect public health and safety, and create opportunities for our residents.
Yet, we recognize that significant work remains. We must continue to push for long-term infrastructure solutions, secure stable funding for essential services, and ensure that every investment we make delivers value to the community. Whether it’s expanding our police facility, preparing for future growth, or addressing flood risks, our focus remains on building a resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking McFarland.

Preliminary Annual Operating Budget
Fiscal year 2025-2026 | Budget and Fiscal Policies
BUDGET PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION
A. Balanced Budget. The City will maintain a balanced budget. This means that:
1. Operating revenues should fully cover operating expenditures, including debt service.
2. Ending fund balance/working capital must meet minimum policy levels or other target levels established by the Council for the fiscal year.
Under this policy, it is allowable for total expenditures to exceed revenues in a given year; however, in this situation, beginning fund balance should only be used to fund capital improvement plan projects or other “one-time,” non-recurring expenditures. (See Fund Balance and Reserves policy for other circumstances when it would be appropriate to use beginning fund balance.) B. Budget Objectives. Through its Budget, the City will link resources with goals and results by:
1.Identifying community needs for essential services.
2.Organizing the programs required to provide these essential services.
3.Describing programs and activities performed in delivering services.
4.Proposing objectives for improving the delivery of program services.
5.Identifying and appropriating the resources required to perform program activities and accomplish program objectives.
Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing high quality municipal services, recognizing the fundamental importance to the citizens of public safety and properly maintained infrastructure.
C. Measurable Objectives. The Budget will establish measurable program objectives and allow reasonable time to accomplish those objectives.
D. Goal Status Reports. The status of major program objectives will be formally reported to the Council on an ongoing, periodic basis.
E. Adequate Maintenance of Existing Assets. The budget will provide sufficient funding for adequate maintenance and orderly replacement of capital plant and equipment. Future maintenance needs for all new capital facilities will be fully costed out and added costs will be recognized and included in future year budget projections.
F. Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. The City will maintain a long-range fiscal perspective through the use of a five-year Capital Improvement Plan.
G. Continued Commitment to Customer Service and Productivity Improvements. Strong customer service and productivity improvements, with a focus on value added services, remain important budgetary goals. Consistent with this goal, the City will strive to pay competitive market level compensation to its employees.
H. Mid-Year Budget Reviews. The Council will formally review the City’s fiscal condition, and amend appropriations if necessary, six months after the beginning of each fiscal year.
FY 2025–26
16 BUDGET & FISCAL POLICIES
REVENUE MANAGEMENT
A. Current Revenues for Current Uses; One-Time Revenues for One-Time Purposes. The City will make all current expenditures with current revenues, avoiding procedures that balance current budgets by postponing needed expenditures, accruing future revenues or rolling over short-term debt. The City will avoid using one-time revenues to fund ongoing program costs.
B. Revenue Distribution. The Council recognizes that generally accepted accounting principles for state and local governments discourage the “earmarking” of General Fund revenues, and accordingly, the practice of designating General Fund revenues for specific programs should be minimized in the City's management of its fiscal affairs. In those cases where it does occur, the basis and methodology for earmarking should be clearly articulated in the City’s Budget and Fiscal Policies.
C. Grant Management. Intergovernmental assistance in the form of grants and loans will be used to finance only:
1.Capital improvements that are consistent with the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) priorities and can be maintained and operated over time.
2. Technological upgrades or enhancements.
3.Capital acquisition items.
4.Operating programs which either can be sustained over time or have a limited horizon.
5.Other areas as determined by the Council to be in the best interest of the City.
D. Enterprise Fund Fees and Rates. All fees and charges for each enterprise fund (such as Water, Sewer and Refuse) will be set at a level that fully supports the direct and indirect costs of the enterprise, including operations, maintenance, capital improvements and debt service, as well as meet any debt service coverage requirements set forth in related bond covenants.
E. Internal Service Funds. All internal service funds will have revenues (intra-City user charges, interest earnings and other income) sufficient to meet all operating and capital expenses. Such revenues shall also be sufficient to maintain minimum reserve targets.
MINIMUM FUND BALANCE AND RESERVES
Section 1: Policy
A. Policy Overview. This policy accomplishes two main goals. First, it sets forth specific levels of minimum unassigned fund balance to be maintained for the City's General Fund and a minimum level of available working capital for the City's Water, Sewer and Refuse enterprise funds. Secondly, this policy establishes a framework and process for the City to follow if these reserve levels fall below the established minimum.
This Policy provides guidelines for fiscal sustainability through maintaining adequate operational liquidity and should be used in preparing the City's Annual Operating Budget, Capital Improvement Program, and general financial management of the City. It recognizes the need for exceptions in extraordinary conditions and unforeseeable events while maintaining a goal and path to regain fiscal sustainability when necessary.
This policy is also intended to follow best practices and industry standards, including those issued by the Governmental Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) in setting reserve levels that adequately address risks such as:
Preliminary Annual Operating Budget
Fiscal year 2025-2026 | Budget and Fiscal Policies
FY 2025–26
17
1.Economic uncertainties, local disasters, public heath crises and other financial hardships or downturns in the local or national economy.
2. Contingencies for unseen operating or capital needs.
3. Unfunded liabilities such as pensions.
4. Institutional changes, such as State budget takeaways and unfunded mandates.
5.Cash flow requirements.
B. Objectives. The purpose of this policy is to assist the City in the pursuit of the following equally important objectives:
1. Maintain long-term fiscal sustainability of the General, Water, Sewer and Refuse Funds.
2. Meet the short-term liquidity needs of the General, Water, Sewer and Refuse Funds.
3. Cultivate a fiscally responsible internal control environment.
4. Help achieve the highest possible credit ratings and lowest possible financing costs when borrowing funds.
C. Budget Integration and Financial Management. The City's Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan should be developed to comply and implement the various aspects of this policy. This includes but is not limited to both the budgeted use of excess unassigned fund balance or available working capital and the rebuilding of the same as needed to maintain compliance with the minimum reserve levels
established herein.
Any areas of shortfall or otherwise non-compliance with the minimum reserve levels contained within this policy should be disclosed in the City Annual Operating Budget document and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, including a response from management on what actions are being taken to bring the City back into compliance with the policy.
Section 2: Minimum Balances
The following amounts are established as the minimum unassigned fund balance for the City's General Fund and
minimum available working capital for the City's major utility enterprise funds.
A. General Fund. At the end of each fiscal year, the General Fund should have a minimum unassigned fund balance of at least 35% of operating and debt service expenditures. This represents about 120 days of General Fund operating cash flow and is conservatively based on the risk assessment methodology for setting reserve levels developed by the GFOA.
B. Water, Sewer and Refuse Funds. The City operates three major utility enterprise funds: water, sewer and refuse, which provide essential public services that are paid for by users of these services. Maintaining adequate liquidity in these funds is an essential factor in the City's ability to provide these services without interruption. Accordingly, at the end of each fiscal year the City should have a minimum available working capital balance (current assets less current liabilities, minus amounts designated for funding capital projects or other purposes) in each of these enterprise funds at equal or more than 35% of operating and debt service expenditures for that fund. This represents about 120 days of working capital. This minimum available working capital balance should be factored into all future user rate studies used to establish utility user rates for these three funds.
Preliminary Annual Operating Budget
Fiscal year 2025-2026 | Budget and Fiscal Policies
FY 2025–26
18
C. Internal Service Funds. The City’s internal service funds shall maintain working capital of at least 60 days of operating expenditures.
D. Taking Reserves Below Minimum Policy Levels. There are circumstances where intentionally taking reserves below the established policy levels would be appropriate in responding to the risks that reserves are intended to mitigate and are not considered a violation of this policy. These include one-time uses such as:
1.Making investments in human resources, technology, economic development, productivity improvements and other strategies that will reduce future costs or increase future revenue sources.
2. Reducing ongoing expenditures through the partial or full refinancing of unfunded long-term liabilities.
3. Closing short-term revenue/expenditure gaps.
4. Responding to unexpected expenditure requirements or revenue shortfalls.
5. Meeting one-time cash flow needs as well as normal cash flow needs during the year.
6. Where a forecast shows an ongoing structural gap, providing a strategic bridge to the future.
Any intentional use of reserves that reduces reserve levels below the minimum policy levels shall be specifically approved by the City Council.
Section 3: Other Assignments/Commitments
A. Future Capital Project or Other Long-Term Goal Assignments or Commitments. The Council may also commit or assign specific General Fund balance levels above the reserve target for future development of capital projects, unfunded liabilities or other long-term goals that it determines to be in the best interests of the City.
B. Other Commitments and Assignments. In addition to the 35% target noted above, unrestricted fund balance levels will be sufficient to meet funding requirements for programs or projects approved in prior years which are carried forward into the new year; debt service reserve requirements; commitments for encumbrances; and other restrictions, commitments or assignments required by contractual obligations, state law or generally accepted accounting principles.
Section 4: Correcting Balances Below the Minimum Balance Whenever the City's Funds with established minimum balances per this policy fall below these minimal levels, the City will strive to restore these balances to the minimum level within five-years. Some actions that may be considered to rectify this situation include the following:
A. General Fund
1. Strategically reducing general fund operating budgets.
2. Updating and improving the City's economic development strategy.
3. Assessing workload and staffing levels to ensure appropriate staffing of General Fund operations, redeploy staffing if necessary.
4. Conduct a revenue study to update General Fund revenue sources that may have fallen behind Preliminary Annual Operating Budget
Fiscal year 2025-2026 | Budget and Fiscal Policies
FY 2025–26
19
5. Conduct an analysis of General Fund cost allocation to plan to ensure other City funds are paying the appropriate fees for the General Fund services they receive.
6. Identify special revenues or other funds that can help support the General Fund.
B. Water, Sewer and Refuse Funds
1. Strategically reduce operations budgets.
2. Initiate a user rate analysis and implement rate changes as needed.
3. Analyze existing debt and possible refinancing options to reduce existing debt service cost.
4. Defer non-essential capital improvement projects until adequate funding can be secured through rate increases, grants or debt issuance.
As revenues versus expenditures improve, the City will allocate at least half to reserve restoration, with the balance available to fund asset replacements, unfunded liabilities, capital improvement projects, service level restorations or new operating programs.
Section 5: Use of Balances Exceeding the Minimum Balance At times, the City may find itself with unassigned General Fund balances and/or available working capital in the Water, Sewer and Refuse funds that exceed the minimums established by this policy. This policy does not require or recommend that those additional reserve funds be spent down but it does establish the following guidelines regarding the potential use of those funds.
A. Excess reserve funds are not to be used for new or existing recurring expenses except on a short-term basis.
B. Investment of these funds on a longer-term basis, in compliance with the City's Investment Policy, should be considered to provide an ongoing source of recurring investment income for the City.
C. Assignment or use of these funds should be considered for early partial or full retirement of existing debt or other unfunded long-term liabilities.
D. A review of the one-time capital improvements needed within the City should be considered to identify and prioritize potential capital projects. Once potential projects have been identified, assignment or use of these funds should be considered for these one-time capital improvement projects.
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND BUDGET ADMINISTRATION
A. Annual Reporting. The City will prepare annual financial statements as follows:
1. In accordance with best practices and industry standards, the City will contract for an annual audit by a qualified independent certified public accountant. The City will strive for an unqualified auditors’ opinion.
2. The City will use generally accepted accounting principles in preparing its annual financial statements and will strive to meet the requirements of the GFOA’s Award for Excellence in Financial Reporting program.
3. The City will issue audited financial statements within 180 days after year-end.
Preliminary Annual Operating Budget
Fiscal year 2025-2026 | Budget and Fiscal Policies
FY 2025–26
20
B. Interim Reporting. The City will prepare and issue timely interim reports on the City’s fiscal status to the Council and staff. This includes on-line access to the City’s financial management system; monthly reports to program managers; more formal quarterly reports to the Council and Department Heads; midyear budget reviews; and interim annual reports.
C. Budget Administration. The Council may amend or supplement the budget at any time after its adoption by majority vote of the Council members. Council approval is required for all new appropriations from fund balance/working capital. The City Manager has the authority to make administrative adjustments to the budget as long as those changes will not have a significant policy impact nor affect budgeted year-end fund balances.
D. Agenda Report Review. A Fiscal Impact Statement will be provided with each staff report submitted to the
Council as part of the agenda packet.
CAPITAL FINANCING AND DEBT MANAGEMENT
A. Capital Financing
1. The City will consider the use of debt financing only for one-time capital improvement projects and only
under the following circumstances:
a. When the project’s useful life will exceed the term of the financing. b. When project revenues or specific resources will be sufficient to service the long-term debt.
2. Debt financing will not be considered appropriate for any recurring purpose such as current operating and
maintenance expenditures. The issuance of short-term instruments such as revenue, tax or bond anticipation notes is excluded from this limitation.
3. Capital improvements will be financed primarily through user fees, service charges, assessments, special taxes or developer agreements when benefits can be specifically attributed to users of the facility. Accordingly, development impact fees should be created and implemented at levels sufficient to ensure that new development pays its fair share of the cost of constructing necessary community facilities.
4. While development impact fees can be a major funding source in financing capital project improvements, revenues from these fees are subject to significant fluctuation based on the rate of new development. Accordingly, the following guidelines will be followed in designing and building projects funded with development impact fees:
a. The availability of impact fees in funding a specific project will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis as bid specifications or contract awards are submitted for approval. b. If adequate funds are not available at that time, the Council will make one of two determinations:
Defer the project until funds are available.
Based on the high-priority of the project, advance funds from the General Fund or appropriate enterprise fund, which will be reimbursed as soon as funds become available. Repayment of advances should be the first use of development impact fee funds when they become available.
5. The City will use the following criteria to evaluate pay-as-you-go versus long-term financing in funding capital improvements:
Preliminary Annual Operating Budget
Fiscal year 2025-2026 | Budget and Fiscal Policies
FY 2025–26
21
Factors Favoring Pay-As-You-Go Financing
a. Current revenues and adequate fund balances are available or project phasing can be accomplished.
b. Existing debt levels adversely affect the City's credit rating. c. Market conditions are unstable or present difficulties in marketing.
Factors Favoring Long Term Financing
d. Revenues available for debt service are deemed sufficient and reliable so that long-term financings
can be marketed with investment grade credit ratings.
e. The project securing the financing is of the type that will support an investment grade credit rating.
f. Market conditions present favorable interest rates and demand for City financings. g. A project is mandated by state or federal requirements, and resources are insufficient or unavailable.
h. It is a high-priority that is immediately required to meet or relieve service or capacity needs and current resources are insufficient or unavailable.
B. Budget Integration and Policy Links
The decision to incur new indebtedness should be integrated with the adopted Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). While CIP projects may surface independently from the budget process, they will typically be an integral of the adopted CIP. Moreover, projects in the CIP typically have strong policy links to the General Plan, Special Plans, adopted facility or infrastructure plans and other policy documents. Annual debt service requirements will be included in the Operating Budget.
C. Sources of Capital Financing
1. Cash Funding. The City funds a significant portion of its CIP on a “pay-as-you-go” basis. As part of a “pay as you go” strategy, the City will first look for grant funding for capital projects.
2. Interfund Borrowing. The City may borrow internally from other funds with surplus cash instead of issuing bonded debt. The purpose of interfund borrowing is to finance high priority needs and reduce costs of interest, debt issuance and/or administration. Purposes warranting the use of this type of borrowing could include short-term cash flow imbalances due to grant terms, interim financing pending the issuance of bonds or long-term financing in lieu of bonds. The City funds from which the money is borrowed shall be repaid with interest based upon the earning rate of the City’s investment pool. The Finance Director shall also exercise due diligence to ensure that it is financially prudent for the Fund making the loan. Interfund loans will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Any borrowing between two City funds which exceeds 24 months requires a repayment schedule approved by the Council.
3. Bank Loans, Lines of Credit and Direct Placements. While not a common method of financing capital
projects, financial institution credit or other direct placements may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis where the advantages over other methods are compelling.
4. State and Federal Loans. The City will evaluate State and Federal loan programs, including but not limited to loans such as the State Water Resources Control Board’s revolving fund loans for the construction of water and wastewater infrastructure projects.

Preliminary Annual Operating Budget
Fiscal year 2025-2026 | Budget and Fiscal Policies
FY 2025–26
5. Other Loan Programs. The City may consider other loan programs on a case-by-case basis where the advantages over other methods are compelling.
6. Equipment Lease Purchase Agreements. The City may consider lease-purchase agreements for longlived assets such as backhoes and trash trucks.
7. Bond Financing. The City may issue any bonds that are allowed under federal and state law, including but not limited to general obligation bonds, certificates of participation, revenue bonds, lease-revenue bonds, assessment district bonds and special tax bonds. While conduit financings do not constitute a general obligation of the issuer, the same level of due diligence prior to bond issuance is required as outlined Section F below. The City will consider requests for assessment or special tax district formation on a case-by-case basis as outlined in Section G below.
D. Joint Powers Authority (JPA). In addition to the long and short-term financing instruments described above, the City may also consider joint arrangements with other governmental agencies when a project serves the public interest beyond City boundaries.
E. Debt Management
1. The City will not obligate the General Fund to secure long-term financings except when marketability can be significantly enhanced.
2. An internal feasibility analysis will be prepared for each long-term financing which analyzes the impact on current and future budgets for debt service and operations. This analysis will also address the reliability of revenues to support debt service.
3. The City will generally conduct financings on a competitive basis. However, negotiated financings may
be used due to market volatility or the use of an unusual or complex financing or security structure.
4. The City’s financing team (such as financial advisor, bond counsel and trustee) will typically be selected through a competitive request for proposal (RFP) process for a multi-year, programbased term in providing ongoing advice and understanding of City needs.
5. The City will seek an investment grade rating (Baa/BBB or greater) on any direct debt and will seek credit enhancements such as letters of credit or insurance when necessary for marketing purposes, availability and cost-effectiveness.
6. The City will monitor all forms of debt annually coincident with the City's Budget preparation and review process and report concerns and remedies, if needed, to the Council.
7. The City will diligently monitor its compliance with bond covenants and ensure its adherence to federal arbitrage regulations.
8. The City will maintain good, ongoing communications with bond rating agencies about its financial condition. The City will follow a policy of full disclosure on every financial report and bond prospectus (Official Statement).
9. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the City internal control procedures, the Finance Director is responsible for ensuring bond proceeds are spent for the intended purposes identified.
23
in the bond documents and that the proceeds are spent in the time frames identified in the tax certificate
prepared by the City’s bond counsel.
10. For any applicable debt issued after January 2017, the City will file annual debt transparency reports with
the California Debt and Investments Advisory Commission in accordance State Government Code Section 8855.
F. Debt Capacity
1. General Purpose Debt Capacity. The City will carefully monitor its levels of general-purpose debt.
Because the City’s general purpose debt capacity is limited, it is important that general purpose debt financing is only used for high-priority projects where the City cannot reasonably use other financing methods for two key reasons:
a. Funds borrowed for a project today are not available to fund other projects tomorrow. b. Funds committed for debt repayment today are not available to fund operations in the future.
In evaluating debt capacity, general-purpose annual debt service payments should not exceed 10% of General Fund revenues.
2. Enterprise Fund Debt Capacity. The City will set enterprise fund rates at levels needed to fully cover debt service requirements (including any coverage requirements) as well as operations, maintenance, administration and capital improvement costs. The ability to afford new debt for enterprise operations will be evaluated as an integral part of the City’s rate review and setting process.
G. Land-Based Financings
1. Public Purpose. The City will consider formation of land-based financing districts in accordance with the State’s assessment law or the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act. There will be a clearly articulated public purpose in forming an assessment or special tax district in financing public improvements. This should include a finding by the Council as to why this form of financing is preferred over other funding options such as impact fees, reimbursement agreements or direct developer responsibility for the improvements.
2. Eligible Improvements. Except as otherwise determined by the Council when proceedings for district formation are commenced, preference in financing public improvements through an assessment or special tax district shall be given for those public improvements that help achieve clearly identified community facility and infrastructure goals in accordance with adopted facility and infrastructure plans as set forth in key policy documents such as the General Plan, Specific Plan, Facility or Infrastructure Master Plans, or Capital Improvement Plan.
Such improvements include study, design, construction and/or acquisition of:
a. Public safety facilities.
b. Water supply, distribution and treatment systems.
c. Waste collection and treatment systems.
d. Major transportation system improvements, such as freeway interchanges; bridges; intersection improvements; construction of new or widened arterial or collector streets (including related landscaping and lighting); sidewalks and other pedestrian paths; transit facilities; and bike paths. e. Storm drainage, creek protection and flood protection improvements. f. Parks, trails, community centers and other recreational facilities.
BUDGET & FISCAL POLICIES
Preliminary Annual Operating Budget

FY 2025–26
24
g. Open space.
h. Cultural and social service facilities.
i. Other governmental facilities and improvements such as offices, information technology systems and telecommunication systems.
School facilities will not be financed except under appropriate joint community facilities agreements or joint exercise of powers agreements between the City and school districts.
3. Active Role. Even though land-based financings may be a limited obligation of the City, the City will play an active role in managing the district. This means that the City will select and retain the financing team, including the financial advisor, bond counsel, trustee, appraiser, disclosure counsel, assessment engineer and underwriter. Any costs incurred by the City in retaining these services will generally be the responsibility of the property owners or developer; will be advanced via a deposit when an application is filed; or will be paid on a contingency fee basis from the proceeds from the bonds.
4. Credit Quality. When a developer requests district formation, the City will carefully evaluate the applicant’s financial plan and ability to carry the project, including the payment of assessments and special taxes during build-out. This may include detailed background, credit and lender checks, and the preparation of independent appraisal reports and market absorption studies. For districts where one property owner accounts for more than 25% of the annual debt service obligation, a letter of credit further securing the financing may be required.
5. Reserve Fund. A reserve fund should be established in the lesser amount of: the maximum annual debt service; 125% of the annual average debt service; or 10% of the bond proceeds.
6. Value-to-Debt Ratios. The minimum value-to-date ratio should generally be 4:1. This means the value of the property in the district, with the public improvements, should be at least four times the amount of the assessment or special tax debt. In special circumstances, after conferring and receiving the concurrence of the City’s financial advisor and bond counsel that a lower value-to-debt ratio is financially prudent under the circumstances, the City may consider allowing a value-to-debt ratio of 3:1. The Council should make special findings in this case.
7. Appraisal Methodology. Determination of value of property in the district shall be based upon the full cash value as shown on the ad valorem assessment roll or upon an appraisal by an independent Member Appraisal Institute (MAI). The definitions, standards and assumptions to be used for appraisals shall be determined by the City on a case-by-case basis, with input from City consultants and district applicants, and by reference to relevant materials and information promulgated by the State of California, including the Appraisal Standards for Land-Secured Financings prepared by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission.
8. Capitalized Interest During Construction. Decisions to capitalize interest will be made on case-bycase basis, with the intent that if allowed, it should improve the credit quality of the bonds and reduce borrowing costs, benefiting both current and future property owners.
9. Maximum Burden. Annual assessments (or special taxes in the case of Mello-Roos or similar districts) should generally not exceed 1% of the sales price of the property; and total property taxes, special assessments and special taxes payments collected on the tax roll should generally not exceed 2%.
10. Benefit Apportionment. Assessments and special taxes will be apportioned according to a formula that is clear, understandable, equitable and reasonably related to the benefit received by—or burden attributed
BUDGET & FISCAL POLICIES
Preliminary Annual Operating Budget
Fiscal year 2025-2026 | Budget and Fiscal Policies
FY 2025–26
25
to—each parcel with respect to its financed improvement. Any annual escalation factor should generally
not exceed 2%.
11. Special Tax District Administration. In the case of Mello-Roos or similar special tax districts, the total
maximum annual tax should not exceed 110% of annual debt service. The rate and method of apportionment should include a back-up tax in the event of significant changes from the initial development plan and should include procedures for prepayments.
12. Foreclosure Covenants. In managing administrative costs, the City will establish minimum delinquency
amounts per owner, and for the district as a whole, on a case-by-case basis before initiating foreclosure proceedings.
13. Impact on the City Bonding Capacity. The City will consider the effect of assessments or special taxes
on the City’s ability to issue bonds or other property-based tax measures.
14. Adjustment of Development Impact Fees. Assessment and special tax districts can fund public facilities or infrastructure improvements otherwise funded with the City’s development impact fees or projectspecific exactions. In such cases, the area’s development impact fee obligations will be adjusted proportionately.
15. Special Tax Consultant. As part of special tax district formations, the City will retain a special tax consultant to prepare a report that recommends a special tax rate and method for the proposed district and evaluates the special tax proposed to determine its ability to adequately fund identified public facilities, City administrative costs and services (if applicable) and other related expenditures.
16. Disclosure to Bondholders. In general, each property owner who accounts for more than 10% of the annual debt service or bonded indebtedness must provide ongoing disclosure information annually as described under SEC Rule 15(c)-12.
17. Disclosure to Prospective Purchasers. Full disclosure about outstanding balances and annual payments should be made by the seller to prospective buyers at the time that the buyer bids on the property. It should not be deferred to after the buyer has made the decision to purchase. When appropriate, applicants or property owners may be required to provide the City with a disclosure plan.
H. Conduit Financings
1. The City will consider requests for conduit financing (use of the City’s tax-exempt status by other agencies in issuing their own bonds that do not incur any repayment obligation by the City) on a case-bycase basis using the following criteria:
a. The City’s bond counsel will review the terms of the financing and render an opinion that there will be no liability to the City in issuing the bonds on behalf of the applicant. b. There is a clearly articulated public purpose in providing the conduit financing. c. The applicant is capable of achieving this public purpose.
2. This means that the review of requests for conduit financing will generally be a two-step process:
a. First asking the Council if they are interested in considering the request and establishing the ground rules for evaluating it.
BUDGET & FISCAL POLICIES
Preliminary Annual Operating Budget
Fiscal year 2025-2026 | Budget and Fiscal Policies
FY 2025–26
26
b. And then returning with the results of this evaluation and recommending approval of appropriate financing documents if warranted.
This two-step approach ensures that the issues are clear for both the City and applicant, and that key policy questions are answered.
3. The workscope necessary to address these issues will vary from request to request, and accordingly will have to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, the City should generally be fully reimbursed for its costs in evaluating the request; however, this should also be determined on a casebycase basis.
I. Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD)
1. EIFD financing should be considered for public facility or infrastructure improvements that confer Citywide and/or regional benefits. This may include the “City share” of infrastructure included in the City’s development impact fees.
2.Unless there is a Development Agreement in place that provides otherwise, EIFDs should not be used to fund real estate projects’ proportional share of infrastructure costs otherwise included in the City’s development impact fees or charged as project-specific exactions (such as subdivision improvements).
3.City should consider EIFDs when more than one local government jurisdiction is participating to produce maximum benefit.
4.At the time of formation of the EIFD (or if changes to the EIFD are contemplated), the City should require a fiscal impact analysis to determine if an EIFD is fiscally prudent and analyze opportunity cost to the City’s General Fund.
J. Refinancings
1.General Guidelines. Periodic reviews of all outstanding debt will be undertaken to determine refinancing opportunities. Refinancings will be considered (within federal tax law constraints) under the following conditions:
a. There is a net economic benefit.
b. It is needed to modernize covenants that are adversely affecting the City’s financial position or operations.
c. The City wants to reduce the principal outstanding in order to achieve future debt service savings, and it has available working capital to do so from other sources.
2. Standards for Economic Savings. In general, refinancings for economic savings will be undertaken whenever net present value savings of at least five percent (5%) of the refunded debt can be achieved.
a. Refinancings that produce net present value savings of less than five percent will be considered on a case-by-case basis, provided that the present value savings are at least three percent (3%) of the refunded debt.
b. Refinancings with savings of less than three percent (3%), or with negative savings, will not be considered unless there is a compelling public policy objective.

BUDGET PURPOSE
What is an annual budget?
The City of McFarland’s annual budget is essentially a guidebook for achieving the goals for the year set by the Council during an annual strategic planning process. Its primary purpose is to link goals with the resources needed to achieve them. The Council's goals for the fiscal year can be found in the “Budget Message” at the beginning of this document. The budget is based on a fiscal year that runs from July 1 of one year to June 30 of the following year.
McFarland’s budget is not just a compilation of expenses and income for the year but also paints a comprehensive picture of the direction the City is taking as an organization on behalf of the community. As recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA), the Budget’s organization and content are designed to achieve four key goals:
Policy document. Sets forth goals and objectives to be accomplished and articulates fundamental principles upon which budget is prepared.
Fiscal plan. Identifies and appropriates public resources.
Operations guide. Describes basic organizational units and activities of the City.
Communications tool. Provides the community with a blueprint of how public resources are being used.
BUDGET ORGANIZATION
How is the budget laid out?
In meeting the budget goals above, McFarland’s budget is designed to provide complicated financial information about the City in an easy-to-read format. To do this, the Budget is organized into six main sections:
Introduction (which includes the “Budget Message” highlighting key fiscal issues) City-Wide Financial Summaries
Fund Financial Schedules
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Summary
Authorized Staffing
Appendix
The following describes each of these sections.
1. Introduction
The Introduction section begins with the Budget Message from the City Manager to the Council that sets forth the key fiscal issues facing the City and how the Budget responds to them. It also outlines top Council goals for the year and provides a general overview of the Budget. The Budget Message is followed by budget and fiscal policies; this guide to reading and FY 2025–26

This schedule includes each fund’s projected fund balance at the beginning of the year; all budgeted revenues, expenditures and financing sources (uses) for that fund; and projected ending fund balance. This section also includes appropriations by Department and Fund; graphics showing revenues and expenditures by fund, and the five-year CIP.
3. Fund Financial Schedules
This section is the heart of the Budget, which presents operating budgets by fund:
Governmental Funds
