Overall performance through the first half of the fiscal year is generally meeting budgeted expectations, but there are some operational matters that will be presented for Council’s consideration and there are some variances in several City funds that should be addressed to keep the budget in alignment through the end of the fiscal year and to place the City in the best possible position for the upcoming budget cycle.
In summary, for the citywide budget the City’s Executive Office’s (CEO) mid-year recommendations include a recommended increase in total revenue appropriations of $20,711,161 across all funds and an increase in total expenditure appropriations of $2,690,460. The citywide budget, as adopted, does not include Bonded Community Facilities Districts (CFDs)(Infrastructure) or the corresponding fiduciary funds, as these funds are managed and used exclusively for the purpose of the CFD bond issuance, administration, reimbursements, and debt service payments. mid-year budget adjustments for these funds are discussed in a separate section of the staff report.
The CEO’s request includes an increase in revenue of $2,922,746 for the General Fund, $50,000 for Quality of Life, $27,500 for the Internal Service Funds (ISF), and $17,710,915 for Special Revenue & Other Funds for a total increase of $20,711,161.
On the personnel/staffing side, FY2023/24 includes requests for four position reclassifications, elimination of one part-time position and the addition of personnel for the Aquatics Program that are considered critical at this time. Staffing requests include:
o1 reclassification request (Accounting Technician I) - Finance Department o3 reclassification requests (Principal Engineer, Senior Engineer, and Associate Engineer) - Public Works & Engineering Department
oElimination of 0.5 FTE part-time position (Senior Engineer) -,Public Works & Engineering Department
o27 Part-Time positions equivalent to 4.62 Full-Time Equivalent (FTEs) (Specialist/Pool Manager, Water Swim Instructors, Lifeguards) to support the Aquatics Program previously approved by City Council on December 6, 2023 – Community Services Department The proposed reclassifications will ensure that staff in the Finance and Public Works and Engineering Departments are appropriately classified based upon their assigned scope of work and able to meet the operational needs of each department. The identified reclassifications combined with the elimination of the part-time Senior Engineer will result in a slight cost increase of $425.
Specific to the General Fund and Quality of Life Fund, expenditure appropriations for the proposed FY2023/24 mid-year recommendations includes requests to be funded from available excess fund balance and/or on-going revenue in the amount of $1,891,055 for the General Fund and expenditure appropriations in the amount of $500,000 for the Quality of Life Fund. Other operational adjustments, such as additional support services, were reviewed and analyzed and will be absorbed within the current year budget through salary savings.
The recommended use of Quality of Life funds was presented at the Quality of Life Committee meeting on January 23, 2024. The Committee reviewed the presented use of available funds and made a motion to recommend use of funds as presented.

Other revenue sources and Special Revenue sources, such as Development Impact Fees (DIF), have also been reviewed for year-to-date actual and actual tax roll assessments/enrollments for County Service Areas (CSAs), Lighting & Landscape Maintenance Districts (LLMDs), and CFD charges. The City’s Executive Office’s mid-year recommendations for Special Revenue Funds includes expenditure appropriations requests of $299,405 to cover some additional technology capital outlays (IT equipment, secure entry badge system for Community Services headquarters and Lazy Creek, Audio Visual (AV) equipment), and adjustments in projected utility costs in various special districts (LLMDs, CFDs).

The General Fund and Quality of Life adjusted budget shown in Table 3 above do not include the proposed mid-year adjustments.
Current Economic Outlook (National, State, Regional & Local) & Revenue Analysis The FY 2023/24 budget as adopted in June 2023, incorporated a two-year budget with anticipated steady growth across its principal revenues. As the City continues to grow, development related revenue, property tax, and sales tax revenue have steadily increased year-over-year. However, against a national financial background of deliberate interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve in efforts to rein in inflation, the City’s principal revenues, from development to sales activity have overall experienced a flattening in growth. In the first half of the current year, the City’s main revenues (Sales Tax, Quality of Life, Property Tax and Development related fees) have all experienced modest growth. The overall economy seems to move into the “soft landing” rather than the recession feared by some. There are some positive economic signs, as well as some new warning signs of an overall slowdown. On the inflation side, the peak rates of 9.1% (nationally) and 8.3% (California) experienced in June 2022, were at 3.1% and 3.2% respectively by October 2023. Residential permits activity experienced a decline as construction loans are now more expensive.
Nationally, the overall economy experienced an average growth of 3.1% in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during the first three quarters of 2023. It is anticipated that GDP will slow to below 1% during the first half of 2024. Increased interest rates to help rein in inflation, have also slowed spending. Housing permits, consumer confidence, manufacturing data, and consumer spending reflect a general sentiment of slowed growth. For instance, the Conference Board Leading Economic Index (LEI) for the U.S. fell by 0.5% in November 2023. The U.S. LEI has maintained a downward trajectory for the last several months with a 3.5% contraction since May 2023.
Amongst the leading indicators are the continued deterioration of new manufacturing orders, consumers’ expectations of business conditions, and credit conditions.
State-wide, California’s labor market is projected to grow at a more modest rate as it returns to pre-pandemic levels. However, in development of its upcoming state budget, there is also consensus that the state economy will experience a continued economic slow-down through the balance of 2024. Overall projections indicate a generally weaker economy through 2024, with a rebound to stronger growth in 2025.
As the City moves through the second half of the current fiscal year, overall recommendations for adjustments are fiscally conservative. Within the City of Menifee, development activity during the first half of 2023 continued the upward trajectory experienced in the second half of fiscal year 2022/23. It is important to note that overall activity reflects a more modest growth pattern in line with the pre-pandemic years.
The City’s top six budgeted revenue sources for the General Fund, inclusive of Quality of Life (Measure DD) are listed in Table 4 on the following page. Together, these six revenue sources represent 91.02% of the budgeted General Fund revenues as adopted in June 2023.

TABLE 4: TOP SIX CITY REVENUES
Revenue Description Mid-Year Review/Analysis & Recommendations
1. Sales Tax In the first half of FY2023/24 sales tax revenue has experienced a general slowdown compared to prior
years. The original adopted amount represented growth
from the FY2022/23 Adjusted budget and historical
growth trends. Year-to-date actuals received reflect
revenues in alignment with the adopted budget. Revised
projections, incorporating updated projections for the
balance of the year include a recommendation for No
mid-year adjustments.
2. Quality of Life (Measure DD) The first half of FY2023/24 Quality of Life revenue has experienced a general slowdown compared to prior
years. The original adopted amount represented growth
from the FY2022/23 Adjusted budget and historical
growth trends. Year-to-date actuals received reflect
revenues in alignment with the adopted budget. Revised
projections, incorporating updated projections for the
balance of the year include a recommendation for No
mid-year adjustments.
3. Property Tax HdL projections received in January 2024 indicate property tax revenue is expected to meet adopted budget numbers. Compared to FY2022/23, the taxable assessed
value has increased by 10.7%. During the budget
development and adoption, property taxes were projected to increase based on anticipated property value
appreciation and new construction. Current projections
for the balance of the year are projected to meet adopted budget. Recommendation for balance of the year
includes No mid-year adjustments.
4. Building/Planning/Engineering/Fire
Fees (Development Fees)
In line with the last few months of FY2022/23, in the first half of FY 2023/24, activity has overall experienced
consistent activity (Building & Safety, Planning,
Engineering and Fire). Recommendation for balance of

The General Fund recommended mid-year budget for FY2023/24 includes Revenue adjustment net increase of $2,922,746, and expenditure appropriation adjustment requests of $1,891,055.
The majority of the revenue adjustments are derived from CEQA revenue adjustments to match expenditure appropriations. Interest revenue is also adjusted to reflect higher than projected interest earnings, with a combined recommended adjustment of $300,000. Table 7 on the following page depicts the recommended revenue and expenditures adjustments by category within the General Fund.

Bonded CFDs: (Infrastructure) Funds and Fiduciary Funds Through its established CFD policy, the City works with developers on the formation and bond issuance of infrastructure CFDs used to finance eligible public improvements and/or fees. During the first half of FY2023/24 the City had several CFD bond issuances. The CFD bond issuances completed after July 1, 2023, included CFD 2021-1 (Banner Park), CFD 2021-2 (Sumac Ridge), and CFD 2022-1 (Quartz Ranch). These represent the bond proceeds which will be applied against eligible CFD reimbursements. It is important to note, the related debt is not an obligation of the City, but of the CFD and respective properties. The following requested adjustments for the bonded CFDs are outlined below in Table 14.

American Rescue Plan (ARP) Funds
As presented in June 2022, the City has received just over $13 million in direct federal assistance as part of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) program. Funding is to be used to address the impacts of Covid-19.
As of February 1, 2024, the remaining available balance of ARP funds is $0. Per the ARP federal guidelines, all ARP funds must be encumbered by December 31, 2024, and fully expended by December 31, 2026. All funded projects are underway and expected to be completed by the expenditure deadline.
Fiscal Policy and Strategic Plan/Long-Term Financial Planning Year to year, and even in times of economic prosperity, the City’s concerted approach to its spending plans has been that of fiscal prudence and thinking of the needs of the Menifee community now and in the future. Long-term financial planning essentially combines (1) financial forecasting with financial strategy to identify future challenges and opportunities, (2) fiscal imbalances and (3) strategies to secure financial sustainability. Therefore, in the City’s budgetary oversight and implementation of the City’s vision to build a safe, thriving, and premier place to live, work and call home, the City consciously budgets with these key strategies, policies and tools in mind. This is carried out through the following methods:
•Structurally Balanced Budget / Strategic Plan: The City aims to develop a structurally balanced budget where recurring revenues match recurring expenditures. The City also develops an overall budget that reflects and aligns with the strategic plan, objectives, goals, and priorities, provides conservative estimates of revenue and expenditures, and provides actual revenue/expenditure history to assist with future forecasts and projections anchored to a 5-year financial forecast. A budget forecast is essentially a financial plan projecting revenue and expenditures for a defined period of time. •10-year Financial Forecast – Beginning with FY2022/23 the City has expanded efforts in using analytics to take a long-term view through the lens of a rolling 10-year financial forecast model. Taking the longer view will help the City better respond to any unforeseen financial crisis, bring financial perspective to planning, stimulate long-term thinking, address a particular issue or proposal, and heighten financial discipline and sustainability. •Reserve Policy: In September 2021, the City Council adopted an updated reserve fund balance policy to set aside funds for future emergencies. This policy establishes a minimum 12.5% fund balance reserve for natural disasters and catastrophic events; a
12.5% reserve for economic slowdown due to the onset of a recession or other economic crisis; and a 10% reserve to offset the timing of grant reimbursements and the collections of property taxes. Pursuant to the adopted policy, the City plans to review the policy every three (3) years, and tentatively has considered increasing the reserve fund percentage to 40% in FY 2024/25.
•Unfunded Pension Liability: Historically, the City proactively pays off any annual unfunded pension liability adjustments and currently does not have any outstanding unfunded pension liability balance through the most recent fiscal year completed.

•Infrastructure Needs: With an adopted five (5) year CIP Program which identifies over 150 projects, estimated at nearly $577 million, the City continues to strategize on funding the wide range of infrastructure needs, year by year.
•Capital Asset Financing: The City enters into long-term financing arrangements only in the case where funding may be necessary to purchase or lease a long-term strategic asset.

The objectives outlined in the Plan are designed to support the vision for the future and fulfill the City’s strategic priorities and goals, with performance measures established to monitor progress.
Specific capital and operational projects are prioritized based on the Plan and are included within the City’s Operating and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budgets.
The implementation plan tracks the progress made in executing the goals and objectives established by the Mayor and City Council in the Plan. Staff will provide regular updates regarding the progress made in the implementation of the Plan. This report summarizes the goals and objectives initiated and/or completed during the first six months of the five-year planning period (July 1 – December 31, 2023).
Implementation Plan Highlights
Connectivity and Mobility
The CIP Division initiated the development of the Complete Streets Plan (CSP), designed to improve access, mobility, and safety for all modes of travel, including walking, bicycling, public transit, and automobiles. City staff collaborated with the University of California Berkeley, Cal Walks, and Riverside University Health System (RUHS) to hold a Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training workshop in August 2023 at Menifee Valley Middle School. In Fall 2023, the CIP Division led several community outreach events at schools and community centers to provide information and seek public input in developing the CSP. The CSP, the City’s General Plan, Parks Master Plan, Active Transportation Plan (ATP), and Smart City Broadband Master Plan will work together to address traffic mitigation citywide, collectively serving as the City’s Traffic Mitigation Plan.
Under the Pavement Management Program (PMP) for FY 2023/24, the CIP division is scheduled to complete 25,920 centerline miles of road resurfacing, equivalent to just under five total miles.
Areas included in the programmed resurfacing plan for this fiscal year include the neighborhood north of Ridgemoor Road, crack and slurry sealing along portions of La Piedra Road near Mt. San Jacinto Community College (MSJC), the neighborhood surrounding Chester Morrison Elementary School, and the neighborhood north of McCall Blvd and west of Murrieta Road. The FY 2023/24 mid-year budget includes funding to complete an update to the PMP index, last done in FY 2017/18. This update will include a survey of the City's entire paved network to provide recommendations on street resurfacing projects for the next five years. This will allow staff to identify priority areas to meet the goal of maintaining a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 70 year-over-year through June 2028.
Unique Identity
The City released a Request for Proposal (RFP) in December 2023 to assist in creating a Placemaking, Identity, and Tourism Master Plan that will be used to develop Menifee as a destination city for residents, businesses, and visitors. It is anticipated that the contract for the plan development will be awarded in Spring 2024.
Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure
Following the launch of Menifee TV, the City of Menifee’s Public Education Government (PEG) channel, in March 2023, the Communications and Digital Productions divisions began producing videos highlighting City events and activities.

content videos per month has been exceeded by 258 percent during this reporting period with the completion of 31 videos including, but not limited to:

•Memories of the Wall Documentary
•Police Department Swearing In
•Menifee Christmas Tree Lighting
The City continues to enhance community awareness by encouraging residents to sign up for city alerts and following the City on social media. With a five percent increase in social media followers (69,954 to 73,435) during this reporting period, we are on track to reach the goal of achieving a ten percent increase in social media followers by the end of the fiscal year. There was a nine percent increase in city website newsflash subscriptions (1066 to 1163) during this reporting period, coming close to reaching the goal of achieving a ten percent increase by the end of the five-year planning period.
During the December 6, 2023, Council meeting, two projects were approved that will create opportunities for community engagement and enhance the City’s social infrastructure: the Central Park Amphitheater construction contract was awarded (CIP 19-15), and the purchase of the prefabricated pedestrian bridge for the Paloma Wash Pedestrian Bridge project (CIP 20-13).
These capital projects are designed to support the objective of increasing opportunities for the community to gather to support belonging and connectedness.
As the City continues to grow in population and staff, the need for additional facilities has been identified. During the June 7, 2023, Facilities Planning Workshop, consideration was given to the timing of the City’s largest three facilities development projects including the City Hall, the Police Department Headquarters (PD HQ), and the Public Works Maintenance Operations Center (PW MOC). Following review and discussion of each project, it was determined that the City Hall project would be the first of the three projects to be initiated with the PD HQ and PW MOC projects initiated in the latter phase of the City Hall construction period. This decision was based upon an evaluation of the lease terms and operational needs of the organization considered in combination with the investments the City has made in site improvements and property acquisitions made to support the immediate needs of the City’s PD and PW departments. As part of the facility development planning efforts, staff are working in collaboration with the City’s municipal advisor, Urban Futures, to identify available delivery methods and financing options for the City Hall project. This information is scheduled to be presented in a Council workshop in the spring.
The City continues to work with our education partners to enhance recreational programming and educational opportunities. During this reporting period, the City partnered with Santa Rosa Academy to host youth sports programs and provide extended recreation services to the community. The City has also negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Perris Union High School District to provide aquatics programs at Paloma Valley High School.

The comprehensive biennial residential satisfaction survey scheduled for initiation by December of 2023, was placed on hold following review of the cost benefit by City Council on October 4, 2023. Staff will evaluate alternative methods of gauging residential satisfaction for future consideration.
Thriving Economy
The implementation of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to modernize and streamline City operations is underway with full implementation on track for completion in June 2026. The ERP system is a comprehensive system that supports multiple City functions including budgeting, payroll, business licensing, accounts receivable/payable, financial reporting, and human capital management. During this reporting period, the Coalition of Support was established, and training was initiated for 38 staff members across all departments.
As part of the City’s efforts to streamline the development process to support a business-friendly environment, the Building and Safety Division has created and installed filters within the Accela permitting system to aid permit technicians and plans examiners in their utilization of the automated workflow, further improving reporting capabilities and the user experience. Staff have also integrated inspection requests with the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS) and the Menifee Permit Portal (Accela Citizen Access), which will enable auto-assignment to area inspectors and eliminate manual scheduling outside of the portal. Additional permit types were made available in the Menifee Permit Portal to allow for more streamlined submittals for residents, contractors, and residential tract developers. Accela modifications were also made to the Certificate of Occupancy workflow to automate business license verification and signoffs, eliminating manual tasks, simplifying and improving the permit issuance process, and reducing errors.

We know our community has big dreams for Menifee and we want to see them come true. Menifee’s citywide Strategic Plan lays a foundation for this progress, defines our shared vision for the future and focuses City resources on five key strategic priorities: Unique Identity, Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure, Thriving Economy, Safe and Vibrant Community, and Connectivity and Mobility.

These priorities drive us toward meaningful outcomes and big steps forward on the road to reaching our collective long-term vision.
