I am currently employed by a General Contactor, based in San Francisco, in their Los Angeles office and have worked in the NBC industry for more than 30 years.
Why are you interested in sewing on a City of Norco Commission/CommitteelAdvisory Council?
I am interested in assisting my community with planning and commissioning for the future of Norco as I plan to be a long term permanent resident there I am also interested in being involved in the Historical Preservation of Norco. I value the integrity of the city and hope to be a integral part of their future preservation.
In your opinion, what are the goals and objectives of the Commission(s)lCommittee(s)IAdvisory Council(s) you are applying to serve on? In my opinion, the goals and objectives of the Planning Commission and the Historical Preservation Commission are distinct yet deeply interconnected Both serve to guide the City of Norco in making informed, balanced decisions that reflect community values and long-term vision.
The Planning Commission plays a critical role in shaping responsible growth by reviewing land use proposals, development plans, and zoning matters. Its objective is to ensure that growth aligns with the City’s General Plan, respects Norco’s rural and equestrian character, and meets the needs of both current and future residents.
Meanwhile, the Historical Preservation Commission is tasked with safeguarding Noroo's unique history, cultural identity, and architectural heritage. Its goal is to recognize and protect historic structures, sites, and traditions that reflect the city’s origins and evolution, ensuring that progress does not come at the cost of losing our past.
Together, these commissions help maintain Norco’s identity as "Horsetown USA" while guiding thoughtful development. I believe their shared purpose is to honor the city’s roots while helping it evolve in a way that is sustainable, respectful, and community~driven.
If appointed, how would you help achieve these goals and objectives? lf appointed, Iwould help achieve the goals and objectives of the Planning Commission and Historical Preservation Commission by bringing a balanced perspective, a strong work ethic, and a genuine commitment to preserving Norco’s unique character while supporting thoughtful development.
For the Planning Commission, Iwould review proposals with an eye toward long-term impact, sustainability, and consistency with the City’s General Plan, Iwould actively engage with the community to understand concerns and priorities, and support development that respects Norco's rural, equestrian lifestyle.
For the HistoricalPreservation Commission, Iwould advocate for identifying, preserving, and promoting historically signi?cant properties and traditions Iwould work collaboratively to ensure historical assets are considered in planning discussions and help increase public awareness about the importance of preservation in shaping community identity.
Across both roles, Iwould be diligent in reviewing materials. open-minded in discussion, and focused on solutions that reflect community values, Isee these commissions not just as regulatory bodies, but as stewards of Norco‘s future and past — and I’dbe proud to contribute in a way that honors both Ifappointed to serve, do you see any potential for a con?ict of interest claim based on personal interests?
0, I do not see any potential for a conflict of interest based on personal interests. I am committed to sewing the City of Norco with integrity and impartiality If any situation were to arise that could present a potential con?ict, I would disclose it immediately and followall applicable ethics guidelines and reousal procedures to ensure transparency and public trust.

Employment Background (List titles and duties)
I retired in December 2022 after a 32-year career in law enforcement. lrwindale Police Department, 2011 to 2022
Served in the ranks of Police Of?cer, Sergeant, and Detective Sergeant. Duties included patrol, criminal investigations, traf?c accident investigations, special event coordination, homeless outreach coordination, case management, personnel oversight, community engagement, report review, training, coordination with other public agencies, social media and PIO duties and supervision.
BaldwinPark School Police Department, 1990 to 2011
Served in the ranks of Police Of?cer, Corporal, Sergeant, and Captain. Duties included patrol operations, School Resource Officer, training, investigations, school safety, emergency response, staff oversight, supervision and administrative leadership.
Post-Retirement Employment
Since retirement, I have remained active in community service and have worked in several part-time roles. I have conducted pre<service background investigations for law enforcement and probation department applicants and served as a Retired Annuitant Sergeant with the ln/vindalePolice Department, where I completed various administrative and investigative tasks.
I currently work part-time for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes baseball team as a Section Leader, working directly with guests as part of the game day staff.
Educational Background (List degrees, majors, credentials, certificates and/or licenses) I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice Management and an Associate of Science degree in Business,
I hold the following certi?cates from the California Commission on Peace Of?cer Standards and Training (POST): Reserve Officer Certi?cate, Basic Certi?cate, Intermediate Certificate, Advanced Certi?cate, and Supervisory Certificate
I also hold current First Aid/CPR/AED certification and a California Responsible Beverage Service certi?cation from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
In addition, I have completed numerous professional training courses and certifications throughout my personal and professional career in areas such as supervision, investigations, public safety,
emergency response, leadership, and community policing.
Relevant Experience (Briefly explain how your background, training, education and/or interests speci?cally qualify you as an applicant for the governmental body you are applying to serve on)
My background, education, experience and interests have prepared me to serve in a practical and service-oriented role on either the Parks and Recreation Commission or the Streets, Trails and Utilities Commission.
Throughout my 32—yearlaw enforcement career. community relations and public service were a significant part of my work. I served as a point of contact between the police department and community organizations for events such as fairs, parades, dedications, park events, and other public gatherings. i also oversaw various social media and community outreach programs intended to improve communication with residents and promote public awareness.
As a Special Events Sergeant, Iworked directly with public agencies, private organizations, city staff, school district employees, elected of?cials, and members of the public on large-scale events and projects. These included concerts, racing events, car shows, ?lm shoots, marathons, and other community events requiring planning, coordination, public safety considerations, traf?c control, street use. parking, pedestrian access, and cooperation between multiple groups.
I also have experience as a traffic investigator and traf?c enforcement of?cer, which gave me practical knowledge of the California Vehicle Code, traffic safety, collision investigation, roadway use, parking issues, and related laws. That experience is relevant to matters involving street safety, crosswalks, speed limits, traffic control, parking, and the shared use of streets and trails.
In my current community involvement, Iserve with the Norco Horsemen’s Association, the NHATrails Committee, and the Norco Fair Committee. These roles have given me hands-on experience with Norco’s rural lifestyle, trails, community events, volunteer service, public communication, and the importance of preserving the character of our city while supporting recreation, access, safety, and responsible use of public spaces.
Mywife and l are also equestrians and have ridden Norco’s trailsystem extensively. That ?rsthand experience gives me a practical understanding of how residents use the city‘s trails, streets, crossings, parks, and equestrian facilities, as well as the importance of maintaining safe and accessible public spaces while preserving Norco's rural character.
I believe this combination of public service, leadership, event coordination, traffic and public safety experience, communication, local volunteer involvement, and practical experience with parks, public facilities, streets, trails, and community events would allow me to bring a balanced and useful perspective to either commission.
Why are you interested in sewing on a City of Norco Commission/CommitteelAdvisory Council?
I am interested in serving on a City of Norco Commission because I care deeply about this community and want to continue giving back in a meaningful and practical way.
My wife and I live in Norco and value the city’s rural lifestyle, equestrian traditions, animal-keeping culture, parks, trails, open spaces, and strong sense of community. I believe these qualities are part of what make Norco unique, and Istrongly support preserving and enhancing them for future generations.
While Norco's equestrian heritage and animal—keeping traditions are a de?ning part of what makes our city unique, I also believe it is important to thoughtfully serve the needs of all residents Parks, recreation programs, trails, streets, public facilities, and community events should be safe, accessible, and beneficial to the entire community while continuing to respect and preserve the rural character that de?nes Norco.
I also understand that Norco's lifestyle and traditions do not preserve themselves They require active involvement, thoughtful planning, responsible stewardship, and residents willing to serve. Iwould like to be part of that effort by listening carefully, studying issues fairly, and making practical recommendations that support both Norco’s heritage and the needs of the entire community.
Serving on a City commission would allow me to use my background in public service, community relations, public safety, event coordination, trails, and local volunteer work to help support Norco’s parks, recreation programs, streets, trails, public spaces, and rural character, In your opinion, what are the goals and objectives of the Commission(s)lcommittee(s)lAdvisory Council(s) you are applying to serve on? In my opinion, the purpose of both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Streets, Trails and UtilitiesCommission isto help the City Council make informed decisions by reviewing issues carefully, listening to residents, considering staff input, and offering practical recommendations.
For the Parks and Recreation Commission, I believe the focus should be on supporting parks, recreation programs, public facilities, community services, and local events that improve quality of life for Norco residents. Parks and recreation should serve families, youth, seniors, volunteers, equestrians, animal owners, and residents with a wide range of interests, In Norco, that also means respecting and preserving the city’s rural, equestrian, and animal-keeping character while making sure public facilities and programs remain safe, accessible, useful, and well-maintained.
For the Streets, Trails and UtilitiesCommission, I believe the focus should be on the safe and practical use of the city’s streets, trails, crossings, parking areas, and utilitysystems. That includes considering traf?c safety, trail access, pedestrian and equestrian movement, bicycle/e-bicyole use, maintenance needs, and how public infrastructure affects daily lifefor residents, For both commissions, I believe the objective should be balanced decision—making, That means preserving Noroo‘s unique lifestyle, using public resources responsibly, supporting safety and accessibility, and making recommendations that serve the community as a whole.
If appointed, how would you help achieve these goals and objectives? lf appointed, Iwould help achieve these goals and objectives by bringing a practical, service-oriented, and balanced approach to the role.
I would make it a priority to listen carefully to residents, city staff, fellow commissioners, and other
stakeholders before making recommendations. I believe good decisions require understanding the issue, considering different viewpoints, reviewing available information, and focusing on what best serves the community as a whole.
Iwould bring my background in public service, public safety, community relations, traf?c enforcement, special event coordination, and local volunteerism to discussions involving parks, recreation programs, trails, streets, crossings, public facilities, and community events. I believe that experience would help me evaluate issues from both a practical and resident-focused perspective.
I would also bring personal qualities that I believe are important in public service, including calm judgment, fairness, patience, ethical decisionvmaking, and respect for differing opinions. I understand that commission work may involve competing priorities and strong viewpoints, and Iwould approach those discussions thoughtfully and professionally.
I would work to support Norco’s rural, equestrian, and animal-keeping lifestyle while recognizing the importance of sewing all residents, including those who are not equestrians or animal owners. My goal would be to help preserve and enhance what makes Norco unique while supporting safe, accessible, well-maintained, and useful public spaces for the entire community.
If appointed, Iwould take the responsibility seriously, come prepared, work respectfully with others, and make thoughtful recommendations that re?ect Norco’s values, public safety, responsible stewardship of city resources, and the long-term interests of the community.
If appointed to serve, do you see any potential for a con?ict of interest claim based on personal interests?
Throughout my professional career, I made it a priority to act ethically and fairly, avoid bias or favoritism, and maintain public trust. Iwould bring that same standard to my service on a City commission.
I do not believe I have any personal or financial interests that would create a con?ict of interest.
However, I am involved in local community organizations, including the Norco Horsemen’s Association and the Norco Fair Committee, and I understand that matters could occasionally come before a commission involving organizations, events, trails, or issues in which I have been involved as a volunteer
If appointed, I would be mindful of those situations, disclose any potential con?ict or appearance of con?ict, seek guidance from the City Attorney or appropriate city staff when needed, and recuse myself from participating in any matter where a conflict exists My goal would be to serve fairly, ethically, and in the best interest of the City of Norco as a whole.

I am applying to serve on a City of Norco Commission because I care deeply about this community and want to continue giving back in a meaningful and practicalway. My first choice is the Parks and Recreation Commission, with the Streets, Trails and Utilities Commission as my secondary choice. As a horse owner, rider, and regular user of Norco’s parks, trails, and recreational opportunities, I believe my background in public service and local volunteerism would allow me to bring a balanced and useful perspective to either role.
Mywife and Ispecifically chose this communityto purchase our home because of Norco‘s rural, equestrian, and animal—keeping lifestyle, We value the ability to keep horses, ride the city’s trail system, participate in local events, and live in a community where that lifestyle remains part of the city’s identity. Istrongly believe that Norco’s traditions and ruralcharacter must be actively preserved and enhanced, not simply assumed to continue on their own.
Atthe same time, I recognize that Norco must serve all of its residents, including those who are not equestrians or large animal owners. Our parks, trails, streets, public facilities, and community programs should be safe, accessible, well-maintained, and beneficial to the entire community.
l retired in December 2022 after a 32-year career in law enforcement, where Iserved in both linelevel and supervisory roles. While much of my work involved public safety responsibilities such as patrol, traffic enforcement, and investigations, every role also required community relations and direct work with residents and elected officials on quality-of-life matters. i routinely interacted with residents, businesses, city and school district staff, elected officials, community groups, and other public agencies on problem-solving, special event planning, homelessness-related Issues, community outreach, and public communication At various points in my career, I coordinated large-scale public events involving traffic control, parking, pedestrian access, public safety, and cooperation among multiple groups. Ialso served as a Media Relations Officer and conducted community meetings and training Classes. That experience gave me a practical understanding of how public facilities, streets, parks, trails, events, and city services affect residents in their daily lives.
Since retirement, I have become increasingly active in the Norco community. i same on the Norco Horsemen‘s Association Board of Directors, the NHA Trails Committee, and the Norco Fair Committee lam also a member of Saddle Sore Riders, Inc. and Cowboys for Christ. I have volunteered with City of Norco trail on repair projects as part of NHA‘s Trails Committee and also sen/ed for a time with the Norco Animal Rescue Team (NART).
These roles have allowed me to work with residents, volunteers, and community groups, and have given me a better understanding of what is important to Norco residents. They have also strengthened my appreciation for volunteer service, community involvement, and the importance ofworking respectfully with others to protect and improve the quality of life in Norco.
If appointed, I would bring relevant experience, sound judgment, fairness, ethical decisionmaking, and respect fordiffering opinions. Iunderstand that commission work requires listening carefully, studying issues thoughtfully, considering staff input and public concerns, and making practical recommendations to the City Council. My goal would be to serve the entire community while helping preserve and enhance the rural character, equestrian traditions, animal-keeping lifestyle, public spaces, and community spirit that make Norco special.

I‘ve been to enough STUC and council meetings to understand the process and how the commissions serve the council and the community. l have friends on multiple commissions that I have talked withfor years about their roles and concerns in the city. We had one on one conversations with most of the city council about different issues in the city.
Why are you interested in sewing on a City of Norco Commission/CommitteeIAdvisory Council?
I moved to Norco for two reasons:
1. To live in a horse community, not merely own a horse property,
2. To raise my daughter in a small town and around animals.
Whether you agree or disagree with my position on any given issue, know that my stance willalways be rooted in those two values,
In your opinion, what are the goals and objectives of the Commission(s)lCommit'tee(s)lAdvisory Council(s) you are applying to serve on? In general, the value of the commissions is to be an extension of the council. The commissions specialize in their respective areas so that they can spend the time digging into the issues then advise the councilwith a recommendation so that they can trust the issue has been properly vetted.
This allows the council to make better decisions for our town because they could never have enough time to dig so deeply into every single issue. In the case of STUC and Planning it's more than an advisory role where the commission decisions require a 4/5 Council voted to overturn them.
If appointed, how would you help achieve these goals and objectives? Iwould take the time and make the effort to understand as much as possible about the issue. Iwould challenge assumptions or status quo that may con?ict with preserving our Horsetown way of life, if appointed to serve, do you see any potential for a con?ict of interest claim based on personal interests?
No.

However, I have actively engaged in community issues through local civic awareness, public meetings, and self— directed research on housing, land use, public safety, and environmental planning topics affecting the Inland Empire region.

I have experience working in roles involving safety compliance, environmental programs, industrial operations, and procedural development. My background includes implementing regulations and policy development as well as budgeting large grant programs for Orange County Transportation.
I have also been responsible for identifying risks, reporting discrepancies, coordinating with supervisors and cross-functional teams, and ensuring adherence to regulatory and internal safety standards.

In this role, Isupport the oversight and execution of the agency‘s public transportation safety plan and contribute to maintaining safe and reliable transit operations. I also oversee 5307 Grant funding and develop programs to keep Orange County safe.
I also analyze safety and operational metrics related to incidents occurring within the transit system and assist in preparing reports submitted to the Federal Transit Administration.This experience has strengthened my ability to interpret data, identify trends, and understand how policy decisions impact public safety and service delivery at a systems level.
Through this work, I have developed a strong understanding of regulatory compliance, risk management, and the impedance of integrating safety considerations into operational and planning decisions—skills that directly translate to evaluating land use, infrastructure, and development proposals in a planning commission role.
Why are you interested in serving on a City of Norco Commission/CommitteelAdvisory Council?
I am interested in serving on the City of Norco Planning Commission because Iwant to contribute to thoughtful, transparent, and responsible community development. Norco has a unique identity and balance of rural and residential land use, and I am interested in supporting planning decisions that preserve community character while addressing growth, infrastructure, and safety needs I am also motivated to participate in civic decision-making in a way that ensures residents’ concerns are heard and properly considered in land use and development planning.

Additional objectives include balancing growth with environmental stewardship, maintaining community character, ensuring infrastructure capacity, and promoting safe, sustainable development that aligns with resident needs and city policy.
Ifappointed, how would you help achieve these goals and objectives? Ifappointed, Iwould contribute by reviewing planning materials thoroughly, applying a complianceand safety-focused lens to development proposals, and ensuring decisions are grounded in both regulatory standards and community impact.
Iwould prioritize transparency, fairness, and accountability in reviewing applications and would support data-driven and community-informed decision-making. My background in safety systems and procedural compliance would help me evaluate whether proposals align with long-term infrastructure and environmental considerations.
If appointed to serve, do you see any potential for a conflict of interest claim based on personal interests?
At this time, I do not foresee any personal, ?nancial, or professional con?icts of interest that would impact my ability to serve objectively on the Planning Commission. If any potential con?ict were to arise in the future, I would disclose it immediately and recuse myself from related decisions in accordance with applicable policies and ethics guidelines.

Passion to ?ght government overreach, such as the challenges that we have as a city ?ghting Sacramento‘s know it all handling of local zoning
Tourism and marketing, which can help our city to thrive and grow in the ways that WE choose, preserving our lifestyle.
Why are you interested in serving on a City of Norco Commission/CommitteeIAdvisory Council?
I love this city and want to ?ght for our unique lifestyle. We need warriors on our council and commissions that understand the task at hand and willdo everything to preserve Norco's agricultural heritage and equestrian lifestyle, I also want to continue to be part of the General Plan process, because I believe that the decisions that we make today will either make or break us in the future We must be vigilant to fight for Norco! I am also passionate about the restoration of our beloved Norconian, and ensuring that our remaining open spaces, such as Wylie Labs, or upcoming CRC site, is not developed into more warehouses or tech space, but rather spaces that willpresen/e our lifestyle, boosting our tourism, and provide community enjoyment.
In your opinion, what are the goals and objectives of the Commission(s)ICommittee(s)IAdvisory Council(s) you are applying to serve on? From my experience, thinking creatively to keep Norco, Norco. We are bombarded with Sacramento overreach, and we have to be always trying to look at ways to preserve our lifestyle. Helping to
create the General Plan and working closely with City Council to ensure that the Norco of the future is the Norco that we want. Standing up and saying NO to projects that simply don't ?t the community needs, such as the Hillside Church. Zero in and focus on the vision and community needs of Norco.
Ensure that all approved projects ?t the current code and vision for the city.
If appointed, how would you help achieve these goals and objectives? Analyze the projects that come before us and ask ourselves how it willhelp or hinder our future vision of Norco. Iwould still like to look at opportunities to take advantage of our abilitiesto be an agricultural hub. utilizing protection from CDFA as farmland, to help preserve our large lots. Being an urban agricultural zone has great appeal to the "green" agenda that California loves, because it requires less transport time to get to local restaurants and schools. Partnering with EAT Center and the current programs that are in Riverside County can be a big part of this. Asking the proper questions of staff and digging deeper is something that I have learned is necessary. Sometimes all the information isn't presented and we must do our own homework to know whether or not something works at doesn't work for our city. I've learned that me must, essentially be a “?ghter" .
If appointed to serve, do you see any potential for a con?ict of interest claim based on personal interests?
No

Department: Administration
SUBJECT:
City Council Policy: Senate Bill 707 Policies Related to Brown Act Changes RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-55 of the City Council of the City of Norco, California, Establishing City Council Policy Regarding Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Public Meetings.
SUMMARY:
Senate Bill 707 modernizes the Brown Act by expanding public access and participation requirements for local legislative bodies, including the Norco City Council, with major provisions taking effect July 1, 2026. The law requires agencies to offer two-way remote participation, adopt a technology disruption policy, and conduct outreach to underrepresented communities, including posting translated agendas in accessible public spaces.
BACKGROUND:
On October 3, 2025, Governor Newsom signed State Senate Bill 707 (SB 707) into law.
The intent of this bill is to increase public engagement in local government and modernize the Ralph M. Brown Act. Some SB707 provisions went into effect on January 1, 2026; however, the most significant changes will become effective on July 1, 2026.
Effective July 1, 2026, SB 707 requires, “eligible legislative bodies,” including the Norco City Council, to meet new public meeting requirements, including allowing remote participation via two-way phone or video, adopting a "technology disruption policy" outlining steps if remote access by the public fails, and conducting outreach to encourage participation from underrepresented groups including providing a public space to post translated agendas.
Staff will address these requirements through the following actions:
Allow remote participation via two-way telephonic or audio visual: Implement Zoom Webinar Council Chamber technology upgrades.
Adopt a "Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Public Meetings" policy outlining steps if remote access fails.
Conduct outreach to encourage participation from underrepresented groups:
o Upcoming utility bill insert and posting on the City's social media channels. o Provide a public space to post translated agendas near official postings on the City's bulletin boards located at City Hall, Rose M. Eldridge Senior Center and Fire Station 47.
Technology Disruption Policy:
Government Code § 54953.4 requires the City Council to adopt, by July 1, 2026, a technology disruption policy. The policy must address procedures for responding to disruptions of telephonic or internet service during a meeting and the efforts the legislative body will make to restore service.
The statute further requires that if a disruption occurs that prevents members of the public from observing or participating in a City Council meeting through the two-way telephonic or audiovisual platform, the City Council must recess the open session for at least one hour and make a good faith effort to restore service. During this time, the City Council may meet in closed session, as permitted by law.
The City Council may not reconvene open session until at least one hour has passed or service has been restored, whichever occurs first. If service has not been restored upon reconvening, the City Council must make findings by roll call vote that good-faith efforts were made to restore access and that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in providing remote access. Alternatively, the meeting may be adjourned.
The proposed policy incorporates these requirements and establishes procedures to ensure transparency and continuity of meetings in the event of a technology disruption during a City Council meeting, while maintaining flexibility to respond based on the specific circumstances.
Additional SB 707 changes include:
Non-traditional teleconferencing expanded: Extends the pandemic-era teleconference rules through January 1, 2030 and allows Council Members to participate remotely without posting their location publicly when qualifying under “just cause." “Just cause” has been expanded to include childcare responsibilities, illness, family emergencies, work related travel or military service obligations. Council Members may participate remotely up to 5 meetings per year once Zoom technology is implemented.
ADA remote participation: Council Members with disabilities may participate remotely as a reasonable accommodation, using audio/video (or audio-only if necessary), and must
disclose any adults present. Remote participation by such members counts toward quorum, and standard teleconferencing rules do not apply.
Social media restrictions extended: This law provides that a member of a legislative body may not directly respond to a social media post regarding agency business that is made, posted or shared by another member of the same legislative body. AB 992’s limits on members discussing official business on social media (including posts, comments, or emojis) are now permanent and no longer expire in 2026.
SB 707 also authorizes remote teleconference meetings by “eligible subsidiary bodies” such as the Planning Commission, Parks & Recreation Commission, or other Council Appointed Committees; however, this authorization must be granted by separate City Council Resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A Zoom Webinar subscription was required at an initial annual cost of $960, which may be subject to annual increases. There is sufficient budget in the FY 2026-27 General Fund Information Technology account to cover the initial Zoom Webinar subscription cost and ongoing costs will be incorporated into future General Fund budgets.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is consistent with Strategic Direction Plan No. 4 - "Communication and Stakeholder Experience."

From: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Prepared By: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director

SUBJECT:
Approval and Adoption of the City of Norco Operating and Capital Improvement Project Budgets for Fiscal Year 2026-27
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-59 approving and adopting the City Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and authorizing appropriations therefrom.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-60 approving and adopting the City of Norco Capital Improvement Program Budget for Fiscal Years 2026-27.
SUMMARY:
On May 20, June 2 and June 9, staff conducted budget workshops and discussions to review the proposed Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets for FY 2026-27. During these workshops, staff presented Preliminary Operating and Capital Budgets to the City Council. The total recommended Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget appropriation is $143,182,377.
The Funds included in the City’s Operating Budget consist of the General Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund, Recycled Water Fund, Housing Fund, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund, Gas Tax Fund, Measure R Fund, Miscellaneous Grants Fund, Nancy Newman Trust Fund, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Fund, and Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Fund. Total estimated revenues and available fund balance or working capital for each Fund exceeds the estimated total expenditures for the year, thus providing for a balanced budget for all Funds, with the exception of the Employee Benefits Insurance fund.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Operating and Capital Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 includes the General Fund, Water Fund, SewerFund, Recycled Water Fund, Housing Fund, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund, Gas Tax Fund, Measure R Fund,
Miscellaneous Grants Fund, Nancy Newman Trust Fund, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Fund, and Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Fund with total recommended appropriation of $143,182,377. The Appropriation Schedule is provided as Attachment A .
During the FY 2026-27 budget discussions, the City Council discussed the history of the City’s budget development, noting that for a number of prior years, the proposed General Fund budget often projected a General Fund deficit that was balanced by use of unappropriated fund balance. By the end of each of those fiscal years, the budget would end in a positive fiscal position, through a combination of expenditure savings and revenue surpluses. The Council expressed a desire to improve the City’s budget practices by developing a budget that better approximates the actual results at the end of each budget years.
Revenues:
Revenues are not expected to grow during FY 2026-27
Sales tax is expected to remain fairly flat compared to previous fiscal years due to economic factors
Property Tax in Lieu of VLF is expected to increase due to growth in gross assessed valuation
Expenditures:
Public safety contract expenditures recognize historical savings in each contract. Departmental expenditures have been scrutinized throughout and adjusted closer to actual historical spending.
Professional services in some departments decreased from the prior year due to a goal of bringing services in-house, primarily in Community Development for Planning and Building Official positions.
The City’s General Fund is the primary Operating Fund of the City and is the main source of money used to pay for public safety services (fire and police), community services, facilities and maintenance, administration, community development, engineering, and other essential governmental type services. The total recommended appropriation and projected revenue are $33,391,636 and $31,657,100, respectively.
The end result of these changes is that the Proposed FY 2026-27 General Fund budget is balanced with the use of reserves. We will continue to exercise fiscal prudence while working to deliver the best quality services possible with the people and resources we have for these purposes, working every day to support the ideals of Horsetown USA and advance the lifestyle.
The Water Operating Fund has total estimated operating revenues of $14.3 million and total estimated expenses of $15.7 million while the Sewer Operating Fund includes total estimated operating revenues of $7.9 million and total projected expenses of $7.5 million. The difference between total projected revenues and expenses in the Water and Sewer Funds are ($1,380,172) and $444,186, respectively. This will reduce the ending working capital for the Water Fund and provide working capital to the Sewer Fund. The ending working capital will be used to fund operating reserves, rate stabilization reserves and future capital projects.
For additional information regarding revenues and expenditures estimates for the rest of the City Operating Funds, including Gas Tax, NPDES, CDBG, AQMD, Nancy Newman Trust, Measure R and Miscellaneous Grant Funds, see Appropriation Schedule (Attachment A and the Operating Budget).
The budget data for the Successor Agency of the former Norco Community Redevelopment Agency, which includes total estimated expenditures of $6,741,677, are presented in the City’s budget document for information purposes only. The Countywide Oversight Board and the State Department of Finance have the authority for approving the Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule (ROPS). On the other hand, budget information for the Housing Successor Agency, which includes total estimated expenditures in the amount of $289,900, is included in the total City budget because the City Council is the Successor Housing Entity's Governing Board.
Factors Affecting the Proposed Operating Budget:
The proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Operating Budget has been developed under the key assumption that economic activities are leveling off, with revenue growth slowing overall as compared to expenditure growth due to rising inflation. With sales tax being the City’s most significant source of General Fund revenue, we continue to be focused on how the economic conditions are likely to impact that revenue in the coming year.
Outlined below are additional major factors that are likely to impact Operating Budget revenue in FY 2026-27:
Sales tax, which represents nearly 34% of total estimated General Fund revenue, is projected to increase by 1.25%. City sales tax revenue has risen substantially in recent years. However, sales tax is highly sensitive to economic conditions.
Rising inflation may lead to a slow down in consumer spending, which along with ongoing redistribution of online sales tax, could have a significant negative impact on the FY 2026-27 sales tax revenue growth.
Revenue growth is slower than expenditure growth.
Expenditure growth is driven by inflationary pressures and regulatory requirements.
Water and Sewer Funds revenues are estimated based on current consumption levels and approved rate structures. As part of the City’s approved rate structure there will be some increases from prior year. However, this will be impacted by the closure of the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) which was one of the City’s top customers. Additionally, it is important to note that with the rising cost of purchased water and other costs, the Water Fund expects expenses to be greater than revenues.
Fund and Working Capital Balances:
The estimated beginning and ending fund and working capital balances for the major Operating Funds consisting of the General Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund, Recycled Water Fund and Other Funds are discussed below.
General Fund:
Since FY 2016-17, the City has steadily added to the fund balance through a combination of revenue growth/enhancement and expenditure control. This year, fund balance is expected to remain the same as FY 2025-26 to an estimated fund balance of $35.6 million by the end of the fiscal year. During these years of record fund balance, the City has also continued to make contributions to the Equipment Replacement Fund for future replacement of equipment. Contributions have been made to a Section 115 Trust to set aside funds that can be used to pay down pension costs in the future. The strong fund balance in the General Fund, along with these other financial resources, has created a financially resilient environment in which current service levels should continue to be maintained over the next several years, even in recessionary years when expenditures exceed revenues. Existing City Council resolution requires that an amount equal to a minimum of 25% of estimated General Fund expenditures be maintained as fund balance for emergencies. Based on the recommended total General Fund budget of $33,391,636, the amount of fund balance required for emergencies in FY 2026-27 is $8,347,909.
Water Fund:
The estimated beginning working capital balance as of July 1, 2026, is $6,917,659.
Total estimated expenses including transfers-out during FY 2026-27 is $15,651,872 while total estimated revenue is $14,271,700 resulting in estimated decrease of $1,380,172 in working capital. With this decrease, ending working capital is projected to be $5,537,487 by June 30, 2027. The ending working capital will be used to fund rate stabilization reserve, operating reserves and future capital projects.
The Water Fund’s working capital balance is reviewed annually to determine the amount necessary to make the required contribution in order to meet the target for operating and rate stabilization reserves; and make transfers to Water Capital Fund for future capital projects. The target operating reserve was set to equal three (3) months of the cost of Water Fund operations or $3.9 million for FY 2026-27. The rate stabilization
reserve target is $2 million with a goal to fully fund the reserves by FY 2027-28. The actual amount of working capital balance available to be transferred to Water Capital Fund for future projects will be determined at the end of each fiscal year based on actual results.
Sewer Fund:
The estimated beginning working capital balance as of July 1, 2026, is $6,377,369.
Total estimated expenses including transfers-out during FY 2026-27 are $7,499,047 while total estimated revenue is $7,943,233 resulting in estimated increase of $444,186 in working capital. With this increase, ending working capital is projected to be $6,821,555 by June 30, 2027. Like the Water Fund, the Sewer Fund’s working capital balance is annually reviewed to determine the amount to be allocated to meet operating reserve target and to fund capital projects. The operating reserve target was set to equal three (3) months of the annual cost of Sewer Fund operations or $1.8 million. A rate stabilization reserve was not recommended for the Sewer Fund due to the stability of sewer revenues. The actual amount of working capital balance available to be transferred to Sewer Capital Fund for future projects will be determined at the end of each fiscal year based on actual results.
Recycled Water Fund:
Over the past 20-years, California has experienced multiple prolonged periods of drought that have resulted in historic low levels in storage reservoirs and groundwater levels. As a result, many water supply agencies have been investing in alternate sources of water to augment or offset potable water demands. One of the primary alternate sources is the use of recycled water to meet irrigation demands rather than using potable water. The City is partnering with all the members of Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCRWA) to fund a new regional recycled water booster station that will allow recycled water to be delivered to each member agency. The Recycled Water Fund has estimated operating revenues of $2.6 million from grant funding and total estimated expenses of $2.0 million to be transferred for recycled water capital projects.
Other Funds:
The proposed budget for other Funds, including CDBG, NPDES, Housing Miscellaneous Grant Funds, and Measure R estimates that there will be sufficient revenues and fund balances during the fiscal year to cover the total recommended expenditure appropriations as shown on Attachment A. For more details, please refer to the City’s Proposed Budget schedules for FY 2026-27. See Proposed FY 2026-27 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Projects Budget. During the Budget Workshops, staff reviewed key projects funded by the City’s various Capital Improvement Project Funds, including projects to be funded with Measure R revenues.
The Measure R Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) met to review funding requests submitted by staff regarding FY 2026-27 budget requests at their April 22, 2026, meeting. The COC completed its review and finalized its recommendations to the City Council for final review and approval (see Measure R staff report).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Attachment A of the resolution provides a summary of estimated beginning fund balance and working capital; FY 2026-27 estimated revenues, transfers, expenditures/expenses; and estimated ending fund balance and working capital for
each Operating Fund. The total operating budget for all City Funds excluding Successor Agency for FY 2026-27 is $136,440,700. Any changes to this proposed budget will be incorporated into the final published adopted budget document.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
The allocation of financial resources through the City's Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget for FY 2026-27 is consistent with all the five Strategic Priorities established by the City Council.

BUDGET OVERVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Overview
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. Revenues deposited into the General Fund are unrestricted and may be used for a variety of governmental purposes. Major revenue sources include property tax, sales tax, permit and license fees, and transient occupancy tax. The majority of the City’s expenditures are used for operations of city services through a combination of contracted police and fire services and City staff, with a continued focus on providing high-quality services, accountability and responsiveness to the community.
Economic Factors
With sales tax being the City’s most significant source of General Fund revenue, we continue to be focused on how the economic conditions are likely to impact that revenue in the coming year.
During the pandemic and immediate post-pandemic years, taxable spending increased significantly as consumers directed more of their discretionary income toward home improvements, recreational vehicles, automotive purchases, and retail goods. As economic conditions have normalized, consumer spending patterns have shifted, resulting in more moderate growth in taxable sales activity. The chart from HDL illustrates the history of sales tax receipts in Norco over the last 13 quarters. While sales tax revenues remain above pre-pandemic levels, recent quarters reflect a slower pace of growth as consumers contend with higher interest rates, inflationary pressures, and broader economic uncertainty. Despite these moderating trends, sales tax receipts have remained relatively stable, indicating continued but slowed economic growth within the community.
Looking by sector at this same 13-quarter history, we can see that the City’s auto and transportation sector revenues, our most important source of sales tax, have largely mirrored this overall trend. This sector has also been adversely impacted by higher interest rates that have increased the cost of borrowing, and higher prices for used vehicles that are pricing some buyers out of that market.
4
In Norco, however, the City’s largest categories of taxable sales are general consumer goods, autos and transportation, and fuels and service stations. While restaurants are a significant category, they are predominantly composed of Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) that do not typically generate the higher revenues associated with sit-down restaurants that include bar service. Looking ahead, encouraging new sit-down restaurants with on-site alcohol will help Norco capture a share of this important sales tax growth sector. (Note that HDL groups hotels and restaurants in the following chart, but Norco’s hotels do not have restaurants.) General consumer goods sales continue to be challenged by the ever-increasing growth in online sales. Thanks to the Wayfair decision and subsequent legislation to collect tax on online transactions, the City does see some return of sales tax to the City through the County pool. The top contributor to the county sales tax pools used to be the DMV, as private party vehicle sales 5
taxes collected by the DMV are allocated to the pools, but in recent years Amazon has become the top source of revenue coming into the pools. County pool sales taxes are distributed to the cities and county based on each entity’s proportionate sale of total sales tax for that quarter; Norco’s share is generally 1.5% - 2% of the pool.
OVERVIEW OF GENERAL FUND BUDGET CHANGES
During the FY 2026-27 budget discussions, the City Council discussed the history of the City’s budget development, noting that for a number of prior years, the proposed General Fund budget often projected a General Fund deficit that was balanced by use of unappropriated fund balance.
By the end of each of those fiscal years, the budget would end in a positive fiscal position, through a combination of expenditure savings and revenue surpluses. The Council expressed a desire to improve the City’s budget practices by developing a budget that better approximates the actual results at the end of each budget year.
This presents the “The Norco Dilemma”, of funding the equestrian lifestyle with large lots for agriculture and animal keeping. The challenges faced in this dilemma is a lower tax base with less homes per acre, aging infrastructure, rising cost to maintain streets, trails, parks, facilities and equestrian amenities, conservation of parks and open space, and limited available land for new revenue growth. The general long-term solution to this dilemma is to support and attract significant revenue generators and control spending and prioritize services in line with the city’s core values.
It is important to note that budgets are planning tools, and as such they rely on estimates and projections that will never exactly match actual revenues and expenditures at the end of a budget year. There will always be some variance between budget and actuals, but it should not be such that the budget swings from a projected deficit to a very positive ending balance; ideally, the actual ending position should be more positive than projected, but within reasonable margins so as to not be so conservative when no deficit truly exists.
With the goal of painting that more realistic picture of Norco’s General Fund, we have worked to bring this year’s budget closer to what we believe will be the actual ending position of the fund.
The preliminary budget includes the following adjustments to reach that goal:
Revenues:
- Revenues are not expected to grow during FY 2026-27
- Sales tax is expected to remain fairly flat compared to previous fiscal years due to economic factors
- Property Tax in Lieu of VLF is expected to increase due to growth in gross assessed valuation
Expenditures:
- Public safety contract expenditures recognize historical savings in each contract, however, has experienced exponential increases of contractual costs over the past 10-years. - Departmental expenditures have been scrutinized throughout and adjusted closer to actual historical spending.
- Professional services in some departments decreased from the prior year due to a goal of bringing services in-house, primarily in Community Development for Planning and Building Official positions.
6
The end result of these changes is that the FY 2026-27 General Fund budget is to use some General Fund reserves due to uncertain economic conditions impacting revenue growth that is slower than expenditure growth. The City is faced with the projected challenge of how to maintain our current level of general fund services, which requires cost saving measures to avoid a deficit.
We will continue to exercise fiscal prudence while working to deliver the best quality services possible with the people and resources we have for these purposes, working every day to support the ideals of Horsetown USA and advance our lifestyle.
Looking ahead, we continue to face challenges as expenditure growth rates are projected to outpace revenue growth in the near term. Our major cost drivers – public safety contracts, and personnel costs – will grow each year, albeit in a generally modest fashion as we keep our staffing levels generally flat. But salary growth necessary to keep pace with the labor market will result in these costs rising over time, while our major revenue source of sales tax is continually challenged with generally slower growth.
The proposed budget provides generally the same level of services as in the prior year, with some adjustments as noted below. Major budget changes this year include the following:
Personnel Cost Changes – The budget includes costs associated with the salary and benefit resolutions for the Management and Mid-Management/Supervisory groups. Those groups will receive a 1.5% Cost-of-Living adjustment effective in July 2026. Whereas, Norco General Employees Association (NGEA) will receive a 2.5% Cost-of Living adjustment effective in July 2026.
Personnel Adjustments – The Planner and Building Official, were previously supplemented with contractual staffing in order to provide essential services to the community, however, it is the intent for the City to recruit and bring those positions in-house. No other significant personnel changes are proposed in the FY 2026-27 Budget. It is expected that the City’s personnel count will need to stay generally level moving forward in the foreseeable future, recognizing the constraints of our General Fund revenue growth.
Loss of Grant Funding – Allocate funds to continue funding needs for homeless services.
Other Items of Note - The following items are included as part of the FY 2026-27 Operating Budget to enhance City operations and/or fund necessary services:
• Addition of $124,134 for additional maintenance costs in the LMD areas for general benefit areas.
Current inflation trends will impact projected revenues and expenditures as cost of services continue to increase outpaced by slow revenue growth. Public safety cost are significantly increasing. City is expecting limited tax growth with no new completed development or hotel openings. Unknown impacts to tariffs may impact the cost of services, materials and spending habits. Federal policy changes may impact the availability of grant funds for the city or other passthrough organizations.
OVERALL BUDGET SUMMARY
The proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Operating Budget has been developed under the key assumption that economic activities are expected to remain stable. However, due to continued inflation and interest rates, there are concerns that consumer spending could slow down, causing key General Fund revenues, such as sales tax, to remain fairly flat. Consequently, revenues and expenditures for FY 2026-27 have been estimated based on a cautious but more optimistic stable economic environment, as well as historical operating statistics. 7
The total FY 2026-27 proposed Operating and Capital Budget is $142.9 million. Total estimated revenues and available fund balance or working capital for each Fund exceeds the estimated total expenditures for the year, thus providing for a balanced budget for all Funds with the exception of the Benefits and Insurance Funds. The Funds included in the City’s Operating Budget include the General Fund: General Fund, Measure R, and Nancy Newman Trust Fund; Special Revenue Funds: Cal Home Fund, Housing Fund, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund, Gas Tax Fund, SB1 Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Fund, Measure A Fund, Miscellaneous Grants Fund, NPDES Fund, and Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Fund; Enterprise Funds: Water Fund, Sewer Fund, and Recycled Water Fund.
The total FY 2026-27 proposed Capital Improvement Budget is $72.1 million. Total estimated revenues and available fund balance for each Fund exceeds the estimated total expenditures for the year, thus providing for a balanced budget for all Funds.
The City’s General Fund is the primary Operating Fund of the City and is the main source of monies used to pay for public safety services (fire and police), community services, facilities and maintenance, administration, community development, engineering, and other essential governmental type services. The total recommended appropriation and projected revenue are $33,391,636 and $31,657,100 respectively balanced with general fund reserves.
The Water Fund has total estimated operating revenues of $14,271,700 and total estimated expenses of $15,651,872, while the Sewer Fund includes total estimated operating revenues of $7,943,233 and total projected expenses of $7,499,047. The difference between total projected revenues and expenses in the Water Fund of $1,380,172 will be funded by working capital. The Recycled Water Fund estimated operating revenues of $2.6 million and total estimated expenses of $2.02 million to be transferred for recycled water capital projects.
The budget for the Successor Agency of the former Norco Community Redevelopment Agency, which includes total estimated expenditures of $6,841,677 is presented in the City’s budget document for information purposes only. The Countywide Oversight Board and the State Department of Finance have the authority to approve the Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule (ROPS). However, budget information for the Housing Successor Agency, which includes total estimated expenditures in the amount of $289,900 and total estimated revenues in the amount of $81,600, is included in the total City budget and shown in this budget document.
The estimated revenues and expenditures for the other Funds are summarized as follows:
1. Measure R Fund – Total estimated revenues of $8,742,000 and total estimated expenditures of $21,767,900. The operating and maintenance portion of the budget is $661,400, and the bulk of Measure R projected revenues and expenditures are $20.1 million as part of the City’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program Budget.
2. Gas Tax Fund – Total estimated revenues of $785,147 and total estimated expenditures of $842,200.
3. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) – Total estimated revenues of $59,700 and total estimated expenditures of $59,700.
4. National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Fund (NPDES) – Total estimated revenues of $134,000 and total estimated expenditures of $160,450.
5. Air Quality Management District Fund – Total estimated revenues of $33,600 and total estimated expenditures of $4,400.
6. Miscellaneous Grant Funds – Total estimated revenues of $403,297 and total estimated expenditures of $403,297.
7. Nancy Newman Grant Fund – Total estimated revenues of $2,700 and total estimated expenditures of $24,900.
The City’s overall financial picture is as strong as it has ever been with major Operating Funds, including General, Water and Sewer Funds, having built fund balance and operating reserves to cover any short-term revenue budget shortfalls. The City has also created additional financial 8
flexibility by creating strong reserves in other Funds, including Equipment Replacement Fund, and the Information Technology Fund. The City will be working to increase reserves in the Employee Benefits and Insurance Fund as liability costs have increased in recent years. In addition, the City continues to implement the City’s reserve policy that includes reserves for Emergency, Local Emergency and Natural Disasters, Economic Development. Monies in these other Funds provide the City Council with options in how to deal with future revenue budget shortfalls.
KEY FACTORS AFFECTING FY 2026-27 OPERATING BUDGET
The FY 2026-27 Operating Budget was developed under the key assumption that economic activities are expected to remain stable. However, due to rising inflation and interest rates, there are concerns that consumer spending could slow down, causing key General Fund revenues, such as sales tax, to stay flat. Consequently, revenues and expenditures for FY 2026-27 have been estimated based on a cautious but more optimistic stable economic environment, as well as historical operating statistics. With this in mind, General Fund revenues for FY 2026-27 have been conservatively estimated as noted earlier in the summary.
Additional major factors that are likely to impact Operating Budget revenue in FY 2026-27 are outlined below:
• Sales tax, which represents nearly 34% of total estimated General Fund revenue, is projected to increase by 1.25%. While the City’s sales tax revenue has risen substantially over the years, the sales tax is highly sensitive to economic conditions. Rising inflation may lead to a slow-down in consumer spending, which, along with ongoing redistribution of online sales tax, could have a significant negative impact on FY 2026-27 sales tax revenue growth.
• Revenue growth is slower than expenditure growth.
• Expenditure growth is driven by inflationary pressures and regulatory requirements. • Water and Sewer Funds revenues are estimated based on current consumption levels and approved rate structures. As part of the City’s approved rate structure there will be some increases from prior year. However, this will be impacted by the closure of the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) which was one of the City’s top customers.
Additionally, it is important to note that with the rising cost of purchased water and other costs, the Water Fund expects expenses to be greater than revenues. Unless this trend is reversed, future rate increases will be necessary.
Other key factors affecting the FY 2026-27 Proposed Operating Budget expenditures for the major Operating Funds are as follows:
1. Public safety – fire and police contract rates: Riverside County Sheriff’s Department contract rates are projected to increase by 7% while CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire Department contract rates are projected to increase by 4%.
2. Wages and salaries are projected to slightly increased due to projected amounts that include the 1.5-2.5% cost-of-living adjustments for applicable bargaining groups, but also align to historic savings from vacancies.
3. There will be a realignment of contractual/professional services as the City moves some of the Community Development Department positions from contract basis to in-house services.
4. Facilities and Maintenance cost are to increase from the addition of general benefit costs now accounted for from the LMDs.
9
Operating Budget Service Enhancements: The FY 2026-27 Operating Budgets are also impacted by funding for the following items, which are designed to enhance service levels in various City Departments:
• Funding for the purchase of new vehicles in various Departments o Senior Bus
o Stake Bed Utility Truck
o Animal Transport Vehicles
o NCP Vehicles
BUDGET ANALYSIS
General Fund Revenue Analysis - The FY 2026-27 General Fund revenues have been conservatively estimated. Revenue growth is slower than expenditure growth due to inflationary pressures on the economy and the ever rising costs of public safety over the years. This is expected to have a slight growth on key General Fund revenues, such as property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, leases, community services, public safety sales tax, and property tax inlieu of vehicle license fees.
The pie chart provides a breakdown of General Fund revenues by major categories. 10
As depicted in the pie chart of General Fund revenues by source, total estimated revenue in FY 2026-27 is $31.6 million.
General Fund revenues are derived from the following major sources:
• Sales tax
• Property tax
• Other taxes
• Property tax in-lieu of vehicle license fees
• Franchise fees
• Fines and penalties
• Lease and investment income
• Community development fees
• Community services/recreation fees
• Administrative overhead
• Other revenues
Sales Tax: Sales tax revenue has continuously been the most significant of all General Fund revenue sources, accounting for an estimated 34% of total revenue in FY 2026-27. Since the end of the Great Recession in 2009, sales tax has accounted for as high as 39% of total General Fund revenues, excluding Measure R Transactions and Use Tax, which was approved by Norco voters in November 2018 and became effective April 1, 2019. Because of the size of the Bradley-Burns sales tax revenue relative to total General Fund revenues, it has become a significant barometer in measuring the fiscal health of the General Fund and the City’s ability to achieve a balanced General Fund budget.
Sales tax revenue is projected to be $10.9 million in FY 2026-27 compared to the projected FY 2025-26 year-end amount and FY 2025-26 amended budget amount of $10.8 million. The projected FY 2026-27 amount represents a 1.25% increase over the FY 2025-26 estimated yearend amount. This projected increase is in line with the statewide projected increase. Historically, the City’s sales tax has been driven by the direction of automobile sales because sales tax from automobile sales usually accounts for one-third of total Bradley-Burns sales tax revenue.
It is important to note that, in recent times, more retail sales are taking place online, resulting in certain portions of sales tax collected online to be deposited into county and state pools and subsequently allocated to cities and counties based on their proportionate share of point-of-sale sales revenues. Historically, this has benefited Norco, but as allocation rules have changed and a bigger portion of online sales tax is allocated outside of the pools, this has had an adverse impact on the City’s potential sales tax revenue growth.
The bar chart below provides a ten-year history of the City’s sales tax performance. As shown by the trend line, except for three fiscal years (FY 2017, 2019 and 2020), the City’s sales tax has maintained a stable healthy growth. In FY 2017 and FY 2019, the growth rates were better than the trend line but worse in FY 2020. The aberrations in FY 2019 and FY 2020 were due to allocation timing issues related to the State’s implementation of a new sales tax system and the initial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
11
Property Tax: Historically, the City’s share of the one-percent ad-valorem property tax collected by Riverside County is lower than most cities mainly due to the size of the City’s Redevelopment Project Area. In FY 2025-26, the estimated total net taxable assessed value of real properties in the City of Norco was $5.3 billion, representing a 4.8% growth over the previous year compared to a 6.3% Riverside County growth rate. The projected total property tax revenue to be received by the City, including the City’s share of residual tax increment from the former Norco Redevelopment Agency, is approximately $2.9 million or about 5.9 cents on each dollar of property tax generated in the City of Norco. In FY 2026-27, City property tax revenue is expected to increase by 5.9% to $3,284,900 from the $3,100,600 amount estimated to be received in FY 2025-26. Total property tax revenue represents about 10% of total estimated General Fund revenue in FY 2026-27.
The property tax revenue history chart below shows that property tax revenue has been steadily increasing from rising assessed taxable values, residual tax increment and new commercial real property developments in the City since the end of the Great Recession. The increase in receipt from residual tax increment is due to lower debt service costs on former RDA bonds. Most of the bonds were refinanced at lower interest rates. The bump in FY 2019-20 is due to extra receipt from residual tax increment generated by savings in Redevelopment Agency debt refinancing.
Other Taxes: The City’s share of public safety half-cent sales tax revenue, property transfer tax, transient occupancy tax (TOT), business license, and satellite wagering tax revenues are 12
classified as other taxes in the General Fund’s major revenue categories. In FY 2026-27, these taxes combined are projected to generate about 8% of total estimated General Fund revenues.
The FY 2026-27 amount represents an increase of 0.10% over the amount projected to be received in FY 2025-26. This will remain flat based on estimates received resulting from rising interest rates and an anticipated slow-down in the total value of property sales transactions and historical trends of TOT receipts.
One of the key strategic priorities of the City is to increase economic development by attracting new hotels in the City. As the City becomes a destination point due to the development of SilverLakes Equestrian and Sports Complex and the success of the Ingalls Event Center, which are projected to attract over two million combined visitors in FY 2026-27, hotel development has become one of the best and highest uses of commercially zoned land along the Hamner Avenue Business Corridor. Unlike sales tax and property tax, which are shared with other governmental entities, all TOT revenues are retained by the City. This revenue item has continued to grow significantly in recent years and is expected to continue to grow as new hotels come to the City.
The following chart provides a 10-year trend of Other Taxes Major Revenue Category.
As depicted in the chart above, this revenue category has shown steady growth over the last 10 years until FY 2019-20, which was impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The growth in revenue is mainly due to TOT revenues, which generally make up about 58% of this major revenue category. It is anticipated that this revenue category will continue to grow slightly.
Property Tax – In Lieu of VLF: In FY 2004, the State eliminated distribution of motor vehicle license fee (VLF) revenue to local governments. This revenue was backfilled with property tax revenue, hence the “property tax in lieu of VLF” description. There were two practical effects from this change: 1) local governments no longer received their share of motor vehicle license fees on a monthly basis; 2) the basis for distributing the back-filled amount changed from being based on population to being based on the change in assessed value of real properties in each local jurisdiction. The change from population-based distribution to value of real property-based distribution greatly benefited cities across the state, as real estate values began an unprecedented increase in the ensuing years. The City’s share of this revenue has grown from $1.2 million in FY 2004 to an estimated $4.3 million in FY 2026-27. Property tax in lieu VLF makes up about 13% of total projected General Fund revenues in FY 2026-27. It is anticipated that this distribution method will continue to benefit the City in the future. 13
Franchise Fees: The franchise fee revenue category is comprised of cable television, gas, electric, and refuse franchise fees. In some cases, the revenue received by the City from these franchises is based on the amount collected by the franchisees from their operation in the City of Norco. In the case of refuse “franchise fees”, while that term is still used, these fees are actually received in accordance with a 2024 study that established these fees as cost recovery for the city based on various impacts to the City by Waste Management’s operations.
The amount received from cable television, gas, and electric franchises fluctuates slightly from year to year. The largest franchise fees are from refuse franchise fees. A recent refuse franchise agreement was negotiated in 2024 for residential and commercial garbage, recyclable materials, and organic waste collection services (including manure) for a 10-year base term beginning July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2034. The negotiated agreement has favorable terms including reduction in rates for residents, elimination of manure scout service fees, annual rate increase caps, assistance in compliance with unfunded State diversion and compliance mandates, and increased City cost recovery revenue. A portion of this cost recovery fee, $900,000, has been allocated towards street and parkway maintenance in accordance with the estimated impact of the refuse franchise on the City’s Street and Parkway infrastructure. Future revenue increases will likely track normal cost-of-living increases. Franchise fees make up about 5.5% of total projected General Fund revenue in FY 2026-27.
Fines and Penalties: The fines and penalties revenue category is comprised of revenues received for violation of the City’s Municipal Code or State of California Vehicle Code. Revenues from traffic citations are collected by the County and distributed pursuant to state guidelines depending on the type of violation. Revenues from parking citations are collected by a third-party processor hired by the City, and the City retains the entire amount collected. Revenues for violations of the Municipal Code are also collected by the City’s third-party collector with the City retaining the entire amount collected. The fines and penalties revenue category, which makes up about 1% of total General Fund revenues, is usually consistent from year-to-year.
Investment Earnings and Lease Revenues: Idle funds of the General Fund are invested in accordance with the City’s Investment Policy to generate investment earnings. In FY 2026-27, investment earnings are projected to remain consistent with prior year due to the current interest rate environment. Lease revenues are generated from the lease of City-owned facilities to third parties. These include the lease of SilverLakes Equestrian and Sports Complex (SilverLakes) to Balboa Management LLC (Balboa) and the lease of various City infrastructure to 14
telecommunications operators for the location of cellular antennae. Lease revenue from communications sites is anticipated to remain stable during the fiscal year. Overall, this revenue category is expected to provide about 8% of FY 2026-27 total projected General Fund revenue.
Community Development Fees: This revenue category consists of engineering, planning, and building permit fees paid by users for review, permit and inspection of their projects. The fees charged for these services are set by the City Council to recover the costs associated with providing these services. Building activity has been generally level in recent years, with the exception of the recent Palomino industrial development. This revenue category is projected to make up 5% of total General Fund revenues in FY 2026-27. FY 2026-27 Community Development Revenues are projected to slightly decrease due to fluctuations in building and development projects and size/scale of projects.
Community Services Fees: These fees are comprised of sports program fees, day camp fees, facility rentals and special event sponsorship contributions. FY 2026-27 revenues from these activities are projected to decrease slightly when compared to FY 2025-26 estimated year-end revenues. The total FY 2026-27 projected revenue for this category represents 2.6% of total General Fund revenues.
Other Revenues: Other revenues of the General Fund primarily consist of voluntary emergency medical subscription fees, dog licenses, and penalties on late payment of utility bills, fire inspections, plan check fees, refuse billing and collection fees. These fees combined are estimated to generate about 4.8% of total General Fund revenues in FY 2026-27. From year-toyear, the total amount of revenues collected from this category is generally stable at around $1.5 million.
Administrative Overhead: Administrative overhead represents reimbursement of costs from other Funds to the General Fund for services provided by and expenses paid by the General Fund that benefit other Funds. The amount of reimbursement is determined through a City-wide Cost Allocation Study, which is generally performed every five years. Except for one-time items, or the periodic update to the Cost Allocation Study, these costs are fairly stable from year-to-year.
Administrative overhead reimbursements account for approximately 6.6% of total estimated General Fund revenues.

General Fund Expenditure Analysis
The FY 2026-27 expenditure budget of the General Fund, which is the City’s primary funding source for municipal services, has been prepared to maintain existing service levels. The total FY 2026-27 General Fund expenditure appropriation is $33.4 million compared to FY 2025-26 total amended budget amount of $33.4 million. The total estimated FY 2025-26 year-end expenditure amount is $32.3 million. Overall expenditures have remained flat in appropriation mainly due to the following:
• Public safety contract expenditures recognize historical savings in each contract • Departmental expenditures have been scrutinized throughout and adjusted closer to actual historical spending
Additional analysis regarding these decreases is provided later in this section of the report. The chart and table below provide a breakdown of General Fund expenditure appropriation by function:
16
Overall, the total General Fund expenditure appropriation is projected to slightly decrease by
0.14% from the total FY 2025-26 appropriation based on the items listed above. Even with the decrease in FY 2026-27 appropriation, one item to note is the increase in pubic safety costs. 17
Another way of analyzing the changes in the General Fund expenditure budget is to look at expenditures by type. This classifies expenditures to reflect their nature, such as salaries, benefits, contractual services, utilities, services and supplies, and internal service charges. The charts below provide a summary of General Fund expenditures by type:
Professional and Contractual Services: As illustrated in the chart above, professional and contractual services make up the bulk of General Fund total projected expenditures, accounting for 55%. The City relies on contractual services as an efficient way to provide a range of services to the community. A large portion of professional and contractual services are costs associated with the City’s contracts for public safety police, fire, and emergency medical services. Other costs included here are professional and contractual services for facilities maintenance, City Attorney, City Engineer, and other consultant services for plan checks, accounting, outside legal services and planning services. The decrease of 3.69% is mainly due to reduction of supplemental staff augmentation to be performed in FY 2026-27.
Salaries and Benefits: Salaries and benefits consists of wages and related fringe benefits paid by the City of Norco to full-time and part-time employees or to third parties for the benefit of 18
Salaries and Benefits: Salaries and benefits consists of wages and related fringe benefits paid by the City of Norco to full-time and part-time employees or to third parties for the benefit of employees. These include direct salaries, compensated absences, pensions, health insurance premiums for active employees, and employee training. These expenditures make-up 27% of total projected General Fund expenditures. The percentage increase, (5.73%), from FY 2025-26 to FY 2026-27 is mainly due by not filling certain vacant full-time staff positions, adjusting part-time hours to more historical trend estimates, and bringing in-house services from previously contracted service positions.
Services and Supplies: This expenditure type, which makes up 5% of total projected General Fund expenditures, is mainly comprised of insurance premiums for retiree medical insurance benefits, extra contributions made by the City to pre-fund future and accrued retiree medical insurance and pension liabilities, and office and departmental supplies. The projected decrease of 3.72% from FY 2025-26 to FY 2026-27 is due to general annual increases from the prior period.
Internal Service Charges: This expenditure type is for cost of services that are provided through the Information Technology Fund, including computing operations and related equipment replacements; Employee Benefits and Insurance Fund, including claim settlements, workers compensation and general liability insurance; and Equipment Operations and Replacement Fund, including gas/fuel, repairs, maintenance and replacement. Actual costs for these items are paid through the appropriate Internal Service Fund and are charged back to the General Fund and Other Funds. This expenditure type makes up 8% of total projected General Fund expenditures in FY 2026-27. The projected increase is due mainly due to an increase in information technology spending toward infrastructure, security and software in accordance with the IT Master Plan and the general and workers’ compensation liability.
Fund Balance Trend for the General Fund
The fund balance trend chart provides historical trend information regarding General Fund revenues, expenditures and fund balance over the last ten years, including the FY 2025-26 yearend estimate. Additionally, the estimated fund balance based on the FY 2026-27 proposed budget has been included. This chart is useful in assessing the City’s efforts in controlling expenditures, enhancing revenues, and building a healthy “rainy day” fund balance.
Since FY 2016-17, the City has steadily added to the fund balance through a combination of revenue growth/enhancement and expenditure control. This year, fund balance is expected to slightly decrease from FY 2025-26 to an estimated fund balance of $35.6 million by the end of the fiscal year. During these years of record fund balance, the City has also continued to make contributions to Equipment Replacement Fund for future replacement of equipment. Contributions have been made to a Section 115 Trust to set aside funds that can be used to pay down pension costs in the future. The strong fund balance in the General Fund, along with these other financial resources, has created a financially resilient environment in which current service levels should continue to be maintained over the next several years, even in recessionary years when expenditures exceed revenues.
However, it is important to note that fund balances and reserves are not meant to fund ongoing expenditures, except in extraordinary circumstances and for a limited time purpose. The City will need to continue to discuss how General Fund service are sustained at current levels as they are challenged by natural cost growth that is expected to slightly outpace revenues in the near term. 19
The chart below provides a 10-year trend of General Fund revenues, expenditures and fund balance:
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The Water Fund, Sewer Fund and the Recycled Water Fund are the three Enterprise Funds included in the City’s Operating Budget.
WATER FUND BUDGET BACKGROUND
In the spring of 2025, the City completed a rate analysis with the goal of restructuring the water rates to ensure that changes in consumption do not significantly impact revenues. The restructured rate allowed for a greater percentage of Water Fund revenues to be generated from monthly fixed charge to water users. The restructured rates approved by the City Council were to be implemented through a phased-in approach in order to reduce the financial impact on rate payers. The first phase of the rate increase was implemented on July 1 of each fiscal year through FY 2028-29. The rate increases achieved the desired goal of generating sufficient revenues to cover operating costs, improve debt service coverage ratios, fund rate stabilization and operating reserves, and generate additional cash flows to fund future capital projects.
Effective at the beginning of FY 2025-26, there is a planned rate increase to rates to address the structural imbalance from rising cost of purchased water and other operating costs. The water system also has nearly $35 million in planned critical capital improvement projects that are desired to be completed over the next five-years and there is no capital funding available past year one.
Staff will be monitoring actual revenues and expenditures and will recommend corrective actions, including the implementation of a purchased water pass-through rate adjustment to ensure that rates are set at levels that will provide for full recovery of operations, maintenance and capital costs of the City’s water system.
WATER FUND BUDGET SUMMARY
The Water Fund Operating Fund is used to account for revenues and expenses from the operation and maintenance of the City’s municipal water system. Revenues are derived primarily from user rates. The Water Fund receives no tax revenues. User rates are approved by the City Council and all revenues derived from user rates must be used for the operations and maintenance of the system, including capital maintenance and replacement. Revenues are dependent upon the level 20
of water consumption and the rates established by the City Council. A substantial amount of total Water Fund expenses are fixed due to the high percentage of total expenses that are from takeor-pay contracts and debt service. These expenses cannot be reduced in the short-term.
In FY 2026-27, total Water Fund revenues are projected to be $14.2 million while total expenses are projected to be $15.7 million. This results in a projected decrease of $1,424,872 to working capital. It is important to note, the Water Fund budget is a dynamic budget driven by the level of consumption and the rate structure. Any changes in consumption tied to weather conditions will have an adverse impact. The City will need to ensure there is sufficient revenues to cover increasing operating expenses.
Water Fund Revenue Analysis: The total projected FY 2026-27 Water Fund revenue is $14.3 million as shown in the charts below:
As reflected in the charts above, water usage and fixed monthly charges make up 50% and 47% of total Water Fund revenues, respectively. One of the primary goals of the rate study in 2025 was to increase the percentage of total Water Fund revenues that is derived from fixed monthly charges to 40% in order to reduce the negative impact on revenues from reduced consumption Revenue Source

during periods of mandated water conservation. This goal has consistently been achieved with fixed monthly charges generating over 40% of total revenues since the rate adjustments were implemented. Other than water usage and fixed monthly charge revenues, the remainder of Water Fund revenues are derived from reconnection charges, energy pass throughs, irrigation, miscellaneous charges and invetsment earnings. Total revenues are projected to increase during FY 2026-27 from the FY 2025-26 estimated year-end total revenue because of a rate adjustment that has been appoved for implementation during FY 2025-26 and continuing into FY2026-27.
The final approved multi-year rate adjustment from the 2025 rate study was implemented in FY 2025-26 and will be effective through FY2028-29.
Water Fund Expense Analysis: Water Fund expenses consist mainly of purchased water cost, debt service, salaries and benefits. The remaining costs are broadly classified as contractual and professional services, maintenance and rentals, services and supplies, internal service charges, and capital outlay. The charts below provide a breakdown of Water Fund expenses by broad category. The total projected FY 2026-27 Water Fund expense of $15.7 million is higher than the FY 2025-26 budget amount of $14.6 million by (7%). Overall expenses are higher with the exception of a slight increase from salaries and benefits. Over the last couple of years, the City has embarked on extensive capital improvements to water production, distribution and storage facilities as part of an effort to increase domestic water production and reduce reliance on purchased water. Unfortunatley, recent USEPA establishment of maximum contaiminant levels for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has impacted the short-term availability of obtaning cheaper water from the City’s wells. However, in the long-term, the City is already investing resources to design PFAS treatment that can hopefully prove to be finanically viable and implemented with two years. Once a treatment system is added then the City can produce more of its own water and rely less on more expensive outside sources. It should be noted the costs to construct the new treatment system is anticipated to be funded from settlements from responsible parties and available grants.

Water Fund Expense Schedule
22
As shown on the chart above, 54% of total projected Water Fund expense is for the cost of purchased water and utilities. In addition to the cost of purchased water obligations under the City’s two take-or-pay contracts with Western Municipal Water District and Chino Desalter Authority, the other cost included in this category is the cost of utilities used in the production of water from the City’s own wells. Debt service and overhead charges, which make up 15% of total projected Water Fund expenses, are mostly fixed and are not projected to change during FY 2026-
27. Another major component of Water Fund expenses is salaries and benefits, which is projected to make up 14% of total expenses. This expense category is projected to increase by 7% during the year. This projected increase is from salary allocations shifted to the Water Fund to account for time spent by staff on water fund activites and projects.
SEWER FUND BUDGET SUMMARY
The Sewer Fund is one of the other Enterprise Funds of the City’s Operating Budget. This Fund is used to budget revenues and expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the City’s sewer collection, treatment and disposal systems. Like the Water Fund, the Sewer Fund receives no tax revenues. All revenues are derived from user charges, which consist of sewer service charges on residential, commercial and industrial customers. Sewer Fund revenues can only be used to pay for expenses for the operations, maintenance and capital improvement of the sewer system. Sewer rates are determined based on the cost of operations, maintenance and capital improvements. Existing rates are generating sufficient cash flows to cover operations and maintenance costs, as well as sufficient funds for capital improvements. The financial condition of the Sewer Fund has remained strong due to the fact that most of the revenue is generated from fixed monthly charges. In FY 2026-27, total revenue is estimated to be $7.9 million, while total expenses are estimated to be $7.5 million. This is estimated to result in an increase in net working 23
capital of $444,186. The increase in expenses is due to increase in the cost of supplies to support operations.
Sewer Fund Revenue Analysis: The projected FY 2026-27 total Sewer Fund revenue is $7.9 million based on the existing sewer rate structure. This amount is essentially the same as the FY 2025-26 total budgeted revenue of $8.0 million, however, there is a gradual decrease due to the closure of the CRC which is one of the City’s top customers. Total Sewer Fund revenue has remained fairly stable over the last several years that sewer rates have remained unchanged. The consistency in total revenues from year-to-year is also due to the fact that most of the revenues are derived from fixed monthly charges. The chart below provides a breakdown of total Sewer Fund revenues. As depicted in this chart, 94% of total revenue is derived from user charges, which are fixed for all residential users. The user rate for industrial and commercial accounts that use over 10 HCF of water includes a variable rate component designed to cover the variable operating costs portion of the sewer treatment plant.
Sewer Fund Expenses: Expenses of the Sewer Fund are mainly comprised of contractual and professional services, debt service payments, salaries and benefits. Other expenses include supplies, utilities and internal service fund services. The charts below provide the various categories of Sewer Fund expenses:
24
In FY 2026-27, the total estimated Sewer Fund expenses of $7.5 million are higher than the FY 2026-26 total budget amount of $7.4 million by (1.25%). Most of the increase is from increases in salaries and benefits to support operations.
RECLYCLED WATER BUDGET SUMMARY
Over the past 20-years, California has experienced multiple prolonged periods of drought that have resulted in historic low levels in storage reservoirs and groundwater levels. As a result, many water supply agencies have been investing in alternate sources of water to augment or offset potable water demands. One of the primary alternate sources is the use of recycled water to meet irrigation demands rather than using potable water. The City is partnering with all the members of Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCRWA) to fund a new regional recycled water booster station that will allow recycled water to be delivered to each member agency. The Recycled Water Fund has estimated operating revenues of $2.6 million from Sewer Fund Expense Schedule

grant funding and total estimated expenses of $2.8 million to be transferred for recycled water capital projects.
GAS TAX BUDGET SUMMARY
Gas Tax Fund revenues represent the City’s share of statewide gasoline excise tax collected by the State. The State uses a complicated allocation formula, which includes population, number of registered vehicles, and transportation needs, to determine the amount of gas tax revenues that are allocated to each local government. The total estimated FY 2026-27 allocation to the City of Norco is $785,000 compared to the FY 2025-26 year-end estimated total revenue of $775,000.
This has resulted in revenues being fairly flat due to rise in the price of gasoline, but expected reduced consumption. The price of gasoline was a result of ongoing conflict and supply chain disruption. Gasoline consumption determines the amount of gas tax revenues collected by the State and subsequently allocated to various agencies. The tax is levied on a per gallon basis rather than on the price of gas.
The FY 2026-27 total expenditures are projected to be $842,200, creating a projected budget shortfall of $57,053; however, there is sufficient estimated fund balance to ensure that there is no deficit spending in the Gas Tax Fund. Gas tax revenues are the primary source of funding for traffic light maintenance, tree trimming, traffic light utilities and miscellaneous street maintenance.
The use of gas tax revenues is restricted for the payment of these eligible streets and road expenditures.
NPDES STORM DRAIN FUND BUDGET SUMMARY
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Fund is used to account for revenues and expenditures pertaining to the City’s efforts to comply with various mandates designed to prevent pollution of storm drains and regional waters. Revenues are derived primarily through a minimal assessment on property owners. In FY 2018-19, the City completed an audit of the assessment levies to ensure that the County has the correct assessment information. The resulting changes in the assessment schedule were implemented in FY 2019-20. No additional increases in assessment levies are expected in FY 2026-27. The total projected FY 2026-27 revenue is $134,000 compared to total estimated expenditures of $161,200. The FY 2025-26 revenues consist of the estimated assessment of $153,000. This creates an estimated budget shortfall of $27,200. however, there is sufficient estimated fund balance to ensure that there is no deficit spending in the Fund.
Expenditures are comprised of salaries, benefits, and contractual and professional services and programs. Effective July 2024, the monthly street sweeping of residential districts and weekly street sweeping of commercial streets to mitigate storm water run-off will be performed by the refuse hauler under the new refuse agreement. These regulations, which the City and other agencies must comply with, are issued by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Failure to implement best practices to accomplish the goals of the program can result in significant fines. The last review of City programs and practices by the Board resulted in recommendations to strengthen best practices but did not find any violation of program requirements.
OTHER FUNDS BUDGET SUMMARY
Other funds included in the Operating Budget of the City consist of Miscellaneous Grant Funds with a total appropriation of $492,294 and total estimated revenues of $499,294; Housing Fund with a total appropriation of $81,600 and total estimated revenues of $289,900; and Air Quality 26
Management District (AQMD) Fund with a total appropriation of $4,400 and total estimated revenue of $33,600. Miscellaneous Grant Funds are used to budget for financial resources provided by third parties for specific eligible expenditures and programs. These include the majority of those grants for CDBG, Supplemental Law Enforcement, LEAP Planning, and Homeland Security. Pursuant to grant agreements, expenditures cannot exceed the amount of grant revenues to be provided by the granting agencies/parties. The City’s Housing Fund is one of the funding sources for the rapid homeless re-housing program and the City’s administrative costs for administering the housing program. CDBG and Nancy Newman funding sources are used to provide programs to seniors and other economically disadvantaged residents.
