A MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 AND FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2030/31
To the honorable Mayor, members of the City Council, and citizens of Murrieta:
On behalf of the City staff, I am pleased to present the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and budget for the years 2026/27 through 2030/31. This plan allocates funding for capital projects within the City for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27, along with a financial strategy for the subsequent four years. The CIP outlines an appropriation of $37,033,549 designated for new initiatives and enhancements to existing projects. Additionally, it includes $86,195,712 in previously allocated projects that will continue, bringing the total CIP budget to $123,229,261 for FY 2026/27. The financing for these projects is sourced from various channels, including development impact fees, transportation funds, grants, and reimbursement agreements that are specifically earmarked for their intended purposes.
It is important to note that these funds are primarily restricted from being utilized for general City operations.
I am proud to share that our dedicated team is unveiling a thoughtfully developed Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget, strategically aligned with the primary key objectives established by the City Council during the City Council’s Goals Workshop. Finance staff is dedicated to cultivating a high-performing organization that prioritizes fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability, and efficiency. In February 2026, the City Council held a Priority Setting Workshop to identify and prioritize the City Council’s programs and projects. Through this biannual collaborative effort, our team has developed a detailed three-tiered ranking system to ensure we focus on the most impactful projects that align with the City Council’s vision and objectives. Comprehensive details regarding this tiered ranking can be found in Appendices section of the CIP budget book.
The FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) development process is guided by the following objectives:
Conduct a comprehensive review of all CIP projects.
Reassess project prioritization using the City Council’s three-tiered prioritization framework.
Identify dormant projects and projects designated as Tier 3 to reduce the number of active projects.
Close, consolidate, or reclassify dormant and lower-priority projects where appropriate.

CITY OF MURRIETA
Reappropriate funding from closed, completed, or dormant projects to higher- priority initiatives.
Strategically allocate available funding to advance Tier 1 projects and City Council priorities.
Align staff time, resources, and funding with the City Council’s highest-priority projects and programs.
The FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program Budget reflects a comprehensive review and reprioritization of the City's capital projects to better align available resources with the City Council's strategic priorities.
The FY 2026/27 CIP Budget includes a total of 105 projects, representing a reduction of 67 projects from the prior fiscal year. This reduction reflects the City's efforts to streamline the CIP portfolio by closing, consolidating, or reclassifying dormant and lower-priority projects, thereby improving project delivery and focusing resources on the City's highest priorities.
Additionally, the FY 2026/27 CIP Budget implements a commitment of $45 million in General Fund and Measure T Fund unassigned fund balance toward the establishment of a Sustainability Reserve. The Sustainability Reserve will provide a long- term funding strategy to advance the City Council's most critical capital and programmatic priorities.
Consistent with the priorities affirmed by the City Council during the February 26, 2026, Goals Workshop, the Sustainability Reserve is intended to support the following priority projects and programs:
215/Keller Road Interchange
Fire Station 6
Cal Oaks Parks Revitalization
Municipal Services Yard and Offices
Fire Department Training Tower and Classrooms
Line F Drainage Channel
Citywide Beautification
Through these actions, the FY 2026/27 CIP Budget strengthens the City's ability to deliver critical infrastructure improvements, improve operational efficiency, and strategically invest in projects that provide the greatest benefit to the community.

I would like to express my gratitude to the City Council for their ongoing support and effective leadership as we work together to navigate a constantly evolving economy while implementing capital improvements that will enhance our infrastructure and instill pride in our citizens. It is crucial to acknowledge the 472 committed employees who make this community exceptional, achieving significant outcomes with limited resources. Lastly, I extend my thanks to the community, for whom all these efforts are made; your support fosters an environment where extraordinary achievements can occur.

6 FY 2026/27-2030/31 CIP BUDGET
The City, defines a capital improvement project, as a specific undertaking involving the procurement, design, permitting, construction or installation of facilities and related equipment which improves, preserves, enhances or modernizes the City’s provision of municipal services, has a long-term useful life, and for which costs exceed $25,000. Planning the citywide capital improvement plan (CIP) takes a monumental effort on available resources.
The CIP budget process is a multi-month process that begins during the fall of the prior calendar year. The process starts when the City’s Finance Department budget staff (Finance) prepares the available funding worksheet and conducts a comprehensive analysis of available resources with estimated revenues and expenditures by funding source.
On an annual basis, per California Government Code section 65403(c), the City Council adopts the five-year Plan to appropriate funding for new projects and amends existing projects as needed. The CIP prioritizes projects over the next five fiscal years based on community needs, but only appropriates funding for the first year of the CIP. The funding for capital projects comes from a variety of sources; but for the most part, these funds are restricted for specific types of capital project construction. These restricted funds are not available to be spent on ongoing operating costs.
As recommended by the Government Finance Officer Association (GFOA), City staff prepares a rolling five- year CIP. The five-year CIP outlines the expenditure plan for future capital projects, and identifies the corresponding revenue sources. California Government Code section 65401 states that if a General Plan or a part thereof has been adopted, a list of the proposed projects will be sent to the City’s Planning Commission (Commission) for review and to report as to their conformity with the adopted General Plan. On May 27, 2026, staff is proposing to bring forward the additions to the CIP to the Planning Commission and obtain a finding that the new projects conform with the City’s General Plan 2035.
The citywide CIP budget kick-off commences in late November with project managers and representatives from different departments, which includes the City Manager’s Office – Special Projects section (CMO), Public Works/Engineering Department (PW/Eng), Police Department (PD), Fire Department (FD), Community Services Department (CSD), Parks and Recreation division (Parks & Rec), Municipal Services Department (MSD) and the Library division (Library). The departments submits proposed projects to the Finance Department and conducts a preliminary review of the proposed CIP project request or changes to an existing project.
The internal CIP review committee meets in January to review the proposed projects and ranks them according to the GFOA recommended and industry best practices on capital improvement planning factors in the area of legal mandates, public health and safety, preservation of assets, operating budget impact (cost/benefit analysis), economic impact, environmental, social and governance service delivery impact and community service delivery impact. The ranking is submitted for review to be presented to the City Manager for review and consideration.
In February 2026, the City Council convened a City Council Priority Setting Workshop to prioritize our capital improvement projects in conjunction with our administrative objectives. Through this collaborative bi-annual effort, staff has established a comprehensive three-tiered ranking system designed to ensure a focus on the most impactful projects that align with the City Council’s goals and vision. Comprehensive details can be found in the CIP budget book.
The budget is presented at a high level to the Assistant City Manager and the City Manager for their final review and approval in April. In May, Finance and PW/Eng bring forward the new CIP projects for the Planning Commission’s review on how the proposed new CIP projects are in conformance with the City’s general plan.
The CIP budget concludes with the City Council’s formal adoption of the one (1) year budget and five-year plan at the designated public hearing in June annually.

10 FY 2026/27-2030/31 CIP BUDGET
City staff is proposing to add new projects in the first year of the CIP budget (FY 2026/27). The appropriation required for new and future projects is $4,467,000. The proposed projects are Fire Department Apparatus replacements, Police Department Office Updates, Equestrian Center Maintenance Phase 1, City Hall First Floor Improvements, Clinton Keith and Nutmeg Signal Modification, Tot Lot Replacements and Citywide Beautification of Parks and Landscape. These are initial estimates, and staff managing these projects will determine the full project cost and present it to the City Council for a contract or construction award.
PROPOSED
11 FY 2026/27-2030/31 CIP BUDGET
In the Fall of 2025, Staff underwent a prioritization exercise and analyzed projects and proposed that some projects be consolidated. Staff proposes changes to 83 existing projects, resulting in a net reappropriation of $32,566,549 to be reallocated in the next fiscal year, FY 2026/27. This will ensure additional funding as completion of right-of-way acquisition, design, and adjustments to the various construction phases of existing CIP projects rely on these appropriations. Staff is also prioritizing projects as directed by the City Manager to prioritize funding for nine (9) Tier 1 priority projects to focus on in the next CIP budget cycle. The projects include the City’s Top Priority Projects namely, I-215/Keller Road Interchange Project, Fire Station 6, Life F Drainage Channel, CalOaks Revitalization, MSD Yard Offices and Fire Department Training Tower and Classroom, Citywide Beautification Improvements Project, City Hall First Floor Improvements Project and the Phase 1 of the Police Department Building Expansion. In February 2026, the City Council held a City Council Goals Workshop to prioritize capital improvement projects in conjunction with the City’s administrative objectives. Through this collaborative effort, staff have established a comprehensive three- tiered ranking system designed to ensure that funding is prioritized for the most impactful projects that align with the City Council’s goals and vision. Comprehensive details can be found in the summary table below and as attachments to this report.
As part of the overall reappropriation, staff proposes ongoing maintenance projects totaling $3,092,226.
Funds from special revenue – Transportation funds are allocated to the projects in the following table. These 3 maintenance items are regularly included in the CIP budget and help assist the PW/Eng department in conducting and facilitating smaller-scale citywide projects on a regular basis. The FY 2027/28 Slurry Seal project will be allocated its Measure A funding in the next CIP budget cycle once staff receive confirmation of the allocation of funds from RCTC. The Pedestrian Safety Enhancement project will receive allocation once the County of Riverside allocates the CDBG grant funds in the Fall of 2026. The allocation shows an increase of approximately four (4%) percent from the prior year as staff anticipates potential increases due to inflation. These projects are included in the Streets and Highway table section
PROPOSED
12 FY 2026/27-2030/31 CIP BUDGET
Staff also propose adding additional appropriation to nine (9) existing CIP maintenance projects to complete ongoing work of these existing projects. The appropriation comes from reallocation of funds from the consolidation of duplicated projects and from savings from existing projects. The proposed work includes various citywide maintenance-related projects, phase two of the synthetic turf replacement for the football field at Los Alamos Hills Sports Park and design and construction of citywide electric vehicle charging stations.
PROPOSED
13 FY 2026/27-2030/31 CIP BUDGET
In FY 2025/26, twenty-two (22) CIP projects, with approximately $12,866,280 in total project costs to date, were deemed substantially complete. These CIP projects are in-service or ready to be in-use, while awaiting a full project closeout. Once these projects are completed, they will be closed, and full project costs will be reported in the next CIP budget update. Project summary and photos will be updated in the final CIP budget book adoption and upon project completion.

In February 2026, the City Council convened a Priority-Setting Workshop to prioritize our capital improvement projects in conjunction with administrative objectives. Through this collaborative biannual effort, staff has established a comprehensive three-tiered ranking system designed to ensure a focus on the most impactful projects that align with the City Council’s goals and vision. Staff provided updates on the priority projects. The City Council reviewed the prioritized projects and either affirmed the prior prioritization or, in some cases, directed that the ranking for several projects be adjusted.
Tier 1—Fully Programmed Solidified as top priorities by City Council, these priorities are fully programmed with strategies, work plans, and dedicated resources. Priorities are classified as either Large-Scale Projects or Small- Scale Projects.
Tier 2 – Partially Programmed (Identified priorities by City Council that are partially programmed with conceptual strategies but where additional work plans and/or resource dedication are necessary)
Tier 3 – Unprogrammed (Unprogrammed projects/programs not yet prioritized by City Council pending development of strategies, work plans, and dedicated resources.)
The updated detailed City Council Priorities Tiers 1, 2, and 3 and summary are attached in the appendices of the CIP budget book.
Well-maintained streets are essential for residents and visitors to conduct business and for general transportation purposes. An adequately funded street program reduces potholes, supports the improvement of existing roads and contributes towards the construction of new roads. One of the special revenue sources the City uses to maintain its roads is Gas Tax. Gas tax is received through an allocation from the State of California from taxes collected on gasoline, diesel fuel sales and registration of motor vehicles. These revenues have remained flat in recent years due in part by fuel-efficient vehicles and the increase in use of alternative fuels. The cost to maintain the roads, however, continues to increase.
As of June 2025 revenue received was $3,576,871, which is 3.92% higher than the prior fiscal year’s at $3,442,082.
In FY 2025/26, the City expects to receive $3,537,389, approximately 1.10% lower than FY 2024/25 actuals.
Initial estimates for FY 2026/27 is expected to receive 1.77% higher for a total of $3,600,089. Finance staff will monitor actual receipts and recommend amending the project budgets as necessary.
In 2002, Riverside County voters extended Measure A. Measure A will continue to fund transportation improvements through 2039. Funds are generated from the half-cent sales tax levied throughout Riverside County to carry out transportation projects. The funds are restricted to funding a comprehensive program of roadway and transit improvements.
As of June 2025, the City received $3,885,627, which is approximately 8.27% higher than the prior fiscal year's actuals of $3,588,810. The latest revenue projection for FY 2025/26 is $3,824,000, approximately 1.59% lower
PROPOSED
15 FY 2026/27-2030/31 CIP BUDGET
than the prior fiscal year's actuals. Initial estimates for FY 2026/27 are projected to increase by approximately
0.85% lower than FY 2025/26 estimates, for a total of $3,791,600. Finance staff will monitor actual receipts and recommend amending the project budgets as necessary.
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall) provides a significant increase in revenue to the City. The revenue is restricted to road maintenance and rehabilitation, safety projects, and complete street components. In FY 2023/24, total revenues received were $3,071,403. FY 2024/25 total revenue are 7.28% higher at $3,295,080. Estimates for FY 2026/27 is projected to increase by approximately 1.35% higher than FY 2024/25 for a total of $3,330,124. The finance staff will monitor actual receipts and recommend amending the project budgets as necessary.
As the City’s population grows, an increased demand is placed upon its infrastructure and public facilities. In response to the additional demands, the City requires every new development who develops land to mitigate the impacts of that development by paying a Development Impact Fee (DIF). The fees collected are used for new public facilities, vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure development projects. DIF fees are a major revenue source for the development of City projects because they are contingent on development within the City. DIF revenues make up 43.07% of the overall CIP funding sources as shown in Section II of the CIP Funding Sources and Uses chart and table.
In September 2024, the Governor of California, signed SB 937(Wiener) into law which coincided with the regulation of fees for development projects The act prohibits a local agency that imposes fees or charges on residential development for the construction of public improvements or facilities from requiring the payment of those fees or charges until the date of the final inspection or the date the certificate of occupancy is issued, whichever occurs first, except for utility service fees, which the local agency is authorized to collect at the time an application for utility service is received. The act authorizes a local agency to require the payment sooner than the date of the final inspection or the date the certificate of occupancy is issued, whichever occurs first, if specified conditions are met, including if the fees or charges are to reimburse the local agency for expenditures previously made. The legislation affects the City which defers the collection of the development impact fee to a future date.
Prior to the passage of SB 937, the City collects DIF fees prior to building permit issuance for all development.
SB 937 defers payment of DIF fees until the end of the project. The result of deferred DIF fees will be fewer fees collected for the next 12 to 18 months. Finance and Public Works staff will continue to monitor actual receipts and recommend amending the budgets and revenue projections as necessary.
In FY 2026/27 the estimated total ongoing operations and maintenance cost of $726,560 is reflected under the FY 2026/27 Schedule of Operations and Maintenance with the list of projects. The City includes these operating budget impacts in the biennial budget process to address ongoing maintenance for completed projects. The detailed Schedule of Operating Budget Impact is found in the appendices of the CIP budget book to fulfill the requirements of Government Code Section 65403 and City Council Resolution 07-1828.
In February 2020, the 2007 Certificate of Participation (COPS) was refinanced into the issuance of the 2020A Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds (2020A LRRB). The issuance was in connection to financing the cost of the 1997 Project to Murrieta Hot Springs Road. In FY 2025/26, approximately $730,600 in annual Measure A proceeds are budgeted to pay this obligation. A detailed schedule of outstanding debt is located within the appendices of this CIP budget book. In FY 2026/27, approximately $729,300 are budgeted to pay the final debt service payment. The bond is scheduled to reach its maturity date towards the end of FY 2026/27.
