DISCUSSION
Based on a long -term practice of maintaining a structurally balanced budget and being identified as one of the most fiscally fit cities in the Country, on May 6, 2025, the City Council continued this trend and adopted the Two-Year Operating Budget for Fiscal Years 2025/26 – 2026/27, while adhering to those past practices. Additionally, as established after the last recession, the budget continues to fund and maintain separate reserves

specifically established for periods of economic uncertainty or natural d isasters. The budget included all component units of the City, including the General Fund, Community Services District, Housing Authority, Successor Agency, and the Moreno Valley Community Foundation. During the two -year budget period, the City Council wil l be updated on the City’s financial condition through the process of Quarterly Budget Reviews. This ongoing process ensures a forum to review expenditure and revenue changes from the estimates made in the budget document. Additionally, any significant changes in projected revenue or unanticipated expenditures that may occur will be presented to the City Council.
This report provides the FY 2025/26 Mid-Year Financial Summary for the first six months, July through December. The Mid -Year Financial Summary wi ll focus primarily on the City’s General Fund. This review will also present six-month operational results from other key funds.
The City Council’s direction of “Maintain a Balanced General Fund Budget” serves as a foundation for the fiscal status of City operations. Ongoing funding is directed to sustain ongoing operational expenses: one -time funding is directed toward one -time expenditures. This report identifies the budget adjustments as recommended by the City Manager.
