Staff Report
Meeting Date: January 26, 2026
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Malisa Dodd, Director of Finance
Subject: Revenue Status Update, Monthly Investment and Financial Report Recommendation:
Staff respectfully request the City Council review the provided information regarding the City’s revenue and investments.
Background & Summary:
Sales Tax Revenue:
The city sales tax receipts total $609,949 through November 2025 for fiscal year 25-26. The budgeted amount for fiscal year 25-26 is $1,500,000 with 40.66% collected, while 41.67% of the way through the year. For the first five months of the fiscal year, we are at 94.77% compared to the same time in the prior year. At this point I would revise the projection to $1,425,000 or $75,000 less than the adopted amount.

16 Property Tax and Vehicle License Fees:
The city property tax receipts total $479,704 through January 2026 for fiscal year 25-26. The budgeted amount for fiscal year 25-26 is $849,745 with 58.35% collected. Although the current property tax received is higher than the prior year, we will not likely receive the budget projection. At this point I would revise the projection to $835,000 or $14,745 less than the adopted amount.

The LAIF average decreased slightly from last month; most notes had a decrease. We continue to anticipate the LAIF rate staying just above 4%. The LAIF rate remains the best available rate that meets the City’s requirement for liquidity and safety. 17 Financial Impact:
The investments are in compliance with the City’s investment policy and provides for meeting the City’s cash flow needs for the next month and 6 month periods.

The near-term economic outlook continues to be distorted by the data delays from the government shutdown. Recently released government data—reflecting conditions from two to three months ago—indicate inflation remains moderately above the Federal Reserve’s target, while labor market conditions have continued to soften. As the flow of economic data normalizes, the Chandler team expects further yield curve steepening as the Federal Reserve moves the policy rate toward a more neutral range. U.S. trade and fiscal policy also remain sources of elevated market uncertainty.
The Federal Reserve’s December Federal Open Market Committee meeting concluded with the third consecutive 25-basis-point rate cut in 2025, lowering the target range to
3.50%–3.75%. However, policymakers remain divided on the path forward. Four Fed governors project one additional 25-basis-point cut in 2026, another four anticipate no further easing, eight expect multiple cuts, and three call for a potential rate hike. Chair Jerome Powell noted that the Fed is now “well placed to wait and see” how labor market conditions and inflation evolve in the near term.
The US Treasury yield curve steepened slightly in November, as the 2-year Treasury yield dropped 9 basis points to 3.49%, the 5-year Treasury was down 9 basis points to 3.60%, and the 10-year Treasury yield was 6 basis points lower at 4.02%. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve was 2 basis points wider from October at +52 basis points at November month-end. The spread between the 2-year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year ago was 2 basis points. The spread between the 3-month and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve was +21 basis points in November versus +26 basis points in October.
After market expectations shifted away from another rate cut following the government shutdown, the FOMC ultimately delivered its third cut of the year at the December meeting. In total, the three cuts in 2025 reduced the federal funds rate by 75 basis points, bringing the target range to 3.50%–3.75%. The yield curve subsequently steepened, with markets also pricing in at least one additional 25-basis-point cut in the first half of 2026. The past year’s developments have aligned with the Chandler team’s view that lower short-term rates would lead to a steeper curve. We expect this steepening trend to continue into the first half of 2026, though likely at a more moderate pace.

Chandler Asset Management | 800.317.4747 | chandlerasset.com | Page 2 Housing Starts
Government provided U.S. housing starts data remain delayed due to the October government shutdown, with releases now expected to resume in January 2026. The latest available S&P Cotality Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index rose 1.4% year over year in September, easing from a 1.6% increase in August and signaling further cooling in price appreciation. All 20 metro areas posted monthover-month declines before seasonal adjustment, underscoring broad-based softening as elevated mortgage rates continue to pressure affordability and demand. Existing home sales edged higher in November to a pace of 4.13 million units, reflecting only modest momentum despite recent rate relief. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 6.23% at November month end.
Labor Market
The latest labor market data included the Nonfarm Payrolls reports for both October and November. October showed unexpected weakness, with payrolls down by 105,000 jobs—largely reflecting the removal of thousands of federal employees who accepted deferred resignation offers under the Trump administration. In November, payrolls partially rebounded with a gain of 64,000 jobs, though the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.6%.
Retail Sales
October Retail Sales, released with a one-month delay, were flat from the prior month but up 3.5% year over year. Eight of thirteen major categories posted gains, while motor vehicle sales declined following the expiration of federal tax incentives for electric vehicles, and gas station sales weakened amid lower fuel prices. The government shutdown may have weighed on consumer confidence regarding jobs, incomes, and overall financial conditions, both current and in the future. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index fell 6.8 points in November to 88.7 from 95.5 in October, marking its lowest level since April.
Consumer Prices
Inflation came in lower than expected in November, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.7% year over year and core CPI easing to 2.6%. Notably, both Owners’ Equivalent Rent and Rent of Primary Residence contributed to the slowdown in services inflation. Shelter costs typically lag broader market trends by 12 to 18 months. Services, meanwhile, have remained the dominant driver of inflation throughout the post-pandemic period.

MEETING DATE: January 26, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ken Kellogg, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Repair/Replacement of Pedestal Clock and Thermometer RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully request that the City Council review the background information and provide direction on whether the downtown clock should be fixed using unbudgeted City resources.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works has explored several repair options for the pedestal clock and thermometer. While we previously had malfunctioning parts rebuilt, the company that provided those services is now out of business.
We have located a distributor that can supply the necessary clock components for $3,660.38.
While Public Works staff can perform the installation, Staff notes that these specific parts have been unreliable in the past; therefore, the long-term success of this repair is uncertain.
A full replacement unit would cost between $40,000 and $50,000 and the work would be under warranty for three years.
For the thermometer, Staff has been unable to source replacement parts\repair services, nor a comparable new unit. Therefore, Staff has no viable path to restoring the thermometer to its original condition. As these repairs are currently unbudgeted, we request Council direction on whether to proceed with the clock repair.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: January 26, 2026
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Malisa Dodd, Finance Director
Subject: Rescind CCR 18-44
Recommendation:
Staff requests Council rescind CCR 18-44 outlining volunteer firefighter reimbursements and station coverage pay
Background & Summary:
In August of 2018, the City approved resolution CCR 18-44 to establish volunteer reimbursements for mileage and fuel at a set rate based on number of calls responded to during a month and paid on a quarterly basis.
In addition to the volunteer reimbursements, the resolution also set a paid rate for volunteers covering a 24-hour shift. Upon review with CalPERS this does not meet their requirements. In order for individuals to be paid and onboarded through our HR process, there are several criteria that need to be met. Since we are a contracted PERS entity, each position must have a position description approved by the governing body. The position must be on a publiclyavailable pay schedule as well as meet comparable compensation based on duties being performed.
Current Status and Rational for Rescinding
Current accounting guidelines require volunteer reimbursements to be based on actual expenditures vs a set “stipend” amount. Based on this change, the City can no longer reimburse volunteers in the manner proposed in CCR 18-44.
With the CalPERS evaluation of the criteria for the 24-hour shift coverage, we are not in compliance with requirements and this position should be rescinded as described in CCR 18-44.

39 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM #11
MEETING DATE: January 26, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Todd Juhasz, City Manager
SUBJECT: Feasibility and Legal Guidance: Combining Sewer and Storm Water Enterprise Funds
RECOMMENDATION
After legal review, staff recommend that the Storm Water and Sewer Enterprise funds remain separate as both would still require 218 processes even if the two were combined as allowed under SB 231.
BACKGROUND
Summary Recommendation:
While Government Code § 54309 defines "Enterprise" to include both sewage and storm water, Proposition 218 creates a constitutional wall between them.
Unless your city has a physically combined system (CSS), it is legally safest to keep the funds separate. If they are merged, a city must ensure that not a single dollar of "Sewer" revenue is spent on "Drainage" infrastructure unless that drainage project is required for the operation of the sewer system.
In other words, combining funds does not negate the obligation to conduct a 218 process to cover the cost of both sewer and storm water.
In California, cities can legally combine sewer and water operations into a single enterprise fund, but they must adhere to strict constitutional and accounting requirements—most notably Proposition 218.
While many cities manage them as separate funds for transparency, merging them is often done to streamline administration or when the services are physically integrated (like a "Utilities Department").
X Regular Session
Special Session
Emergency
Session
Closed Session
40 1. The "Nexus" Requirement (Proposition 218)
The biggest hurdle is the California Constitution (Article XIII D), which mandates that:
• No Cross-Subsidization: Revenues from a fee cannot exceed the cost of providing that specific service.
• Proportionality: You cannot use water rate revenue to pay for sewer infrastructure, or vice versa, unless the costs are accurately allocated.
• Separate Accounting: Even if combined into one "Utility Fund," the city must maintain clear internal accounting (sub-accounts) to prove that water customers aren't paying for sewer improvements.
2. Legal & Structural Options
Cities typically use one of two approaches:
• Single Enterprise Fund: A "Water and Sewer Fund" where all utility revenue is pooled. This is legally permissible if the rate studies (Nexus Studies) justify the combined costs and ensure each service remains self-sustaining.
• Combined Administration, Separate Funds: The most common approach. The city has one department and one bill for the customer, but the money is deposited into two distinct legal funds to make Proposition 218 audits easier.
3. Key Constraints
• Bond Covenants: If the city has issued bonds specifically for the water system, the bond contract often requires the water revenue to be kept in a "segregated" account. Merging funds could trigger a technical default on those bonds. • GAAP Compliance: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the State Controller’s guidelines encourage separate reporting for "Major Funds." If your water and sewer operations are both large, auditors usually prefer they stay separate for clarity.
Summary Table
Feature Combined Fund Separate Funds
Administrative
Ease Higher (one budget, one audit) Lower (duplicate reporting) Prop 218 Risk Higher (harder to prove no crosssubsidy) Lower (clear "firewall" between
funds)
Bond Compliance Complex (requires legal review of debt) Simpler (meets standard bond terms)
Note: Because Proposition 218 allows residents to sue over "disproportionate" fees, most California municipal attorneys, including John Kenny, recommend keeping the funds separate—or at least very strictly partitioned within a combined fund—to simplify the defense of your rate structure.
41 Finally,
Senate Bill 231 (SB 231), which became effective on January 1, 2018. It is a state law designed specifically to allow cities to treat "stormwater" as part of their "sewer" services.
While it is a legislative act and not a court ruling, it was written to intentionally "overrule" a 2002 court decision (City of Salinas) that had previously forced cities to keep these funds strictly separate.
Could Mt Shasta Combine the Funds Under This Law?
Yes, cities are using this law to merge the two, but it comes with a "Legal Warning Label":
1. The Goal: By combining them, a city can use its existing Sewer Enterprise Fund to pay for storm drain repairs and treat the two services as one single utility "system."
2. The Risk: Taxpayer groups (like the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association) argue that SB 231 is unconstitutional. They believe the State Legislature cannot change the meaning of the word "sewer" in the Constitution—only the voters can do that.
3. The Outcome: Many cities have successfully used SB 231 to fund drainage through sewer fees since 2018, but a "test case" has not yet definitively settled the matter in the California Supreme Court.
