C. The October 3, 2023, application ( the " Application" for the " Project") replaced a previously filed application for a housing development project on the Property.

D. On November 17, 2023, the City sent a letter to Milan stating that, while it was not required under the law to give notice, the City believed the Application did not include certain statutorily required information.

E. The City and Milan currently have different interpretations of relevant state law, in part, concerning the processing ofthe Application, including the scope ofthe materials Milan must provide to the City and the City' s duty to process and approve the Project. For example, Milan 6 asserts that the Application must be processed pursuant to California Government Code section 65589. 5, subdivision( d), the so- called` Builders Remedy" provision, and that the Application is not subject to any time limits imposed by SB 330. In this case, in part, the City asserts that an SB 330 application does not preserve the" Builders Remedy" if such remedy applies to the Project. In contrast, Milan asserts that, pursuant to the legal position ofthe California Department of Housing and Community Development, an SB 330 application does vest an application for a Builder' s Remedy project.

F. The Parties wish to have time to further evaluate non-residential uses for the Property, including, but not limited to, recreational and sport uses, uses by an educational institution, acquisition by the City or a third party, or other paths. that may be acceptable to both Parties. In the absence of the time provided by this Agreement, the Parties ( and in particular, Milan) may be forced to seek relief through the courts. The Parties believe it is in their best interests to avoid the time, expense, and risk of such litigation for the period identified by this Agreement.

G. First, the Parties wish to toll the applicable time period( s) in which Milan must submit a complete Application for the Project ( the " Application Period"), without Milan or the City waiving any rights or arguments related to their respective obligations, limitations or 36 protections, including, but not limited to, waiving the right to assert that a complete Application is or is not required or waiving any claims related to the City' s processing of the Application ( the Tolled Application Period").

H. Second, the Parties wish to preserve any rights that may exist as ofthe date ofthis Agreement for the Parties to commence legal action at a future date concerning the City' s processing ofthe Application and/ or the Project, which, but for this Agreement, might otherwise be time- barred by any applicable statute of limitations, laches, and other possible time- bars and defenses based in whole or in part on the time which may elapse from the effective date of this Agreement to the filing of an action( all of which time- bars and defenses, including, the statute of limitations and laches, are referred to as " Time Defenses" ( the" Tolled Litigation Period").

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ORANGE
AMENDING CHAPTER 8.13.130 SUBSECTION A OF

THE ORANGE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO

THE PROHIBITION OF SAFE AND SANE

FIREWORKS IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CITY
WHEREAS, the Orange City Council adopted Resolution 11583 on December 10, 2024, certifying the results of the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election; and WHEREAS, Measure AA was placed on the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election ballot so Orange voters might consider amending the Orange Municipal Code so as to permit the sale, possession, and use of Safe and Sane Fireworks; and WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 10-24 requires the City Council to adopt a resolution or ordinance prescribing reasonable rules and regulations to effectuate a Safe and Sane Fireworks program in the City of Orange; and
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 01-25 on January 28, 2025, effectuating the Safe and Sane Fireworks program in the City of Orange; and WHEREAS, to ensure the safety of the public and to promote greater consistency with the State of California's fire hazard designations, the City Council desires to amend the areas in which Safe and Sane Fireworks are prohibited.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION I:

Chapter 8.13.130, Subsection A is repealed and replaced as follows:

Chapter 8.13 FIREWORKS

8.13.130. Safe and Sane Fireworks – Limitation on Places and Hours of Discharge and Sale of Safe and Sane Fireworks.

A. As further depicted in Exhibit “A”, it shall be unlawful for any person and Permittee to sell, ignite, discharge, project, or otherwise use any Safe and Sane Fireworks, or allow the ignition, discharge, or projection thereof in any area located east of Hewes Street within the City's jurisdictional boundaries, any area west of Cannon Street, north of Santiago Canyon Road, south of Taft Avenue within the City’s jurisdictional boundaries, any area located east of Cannon Street north of Santiago Canyon Road within the City's jurisdictional 51 2
boundaries, and any area east of Meats Avenue north of the City of OrangeVilla Park city limit boundary within the City’s jurisdictional boundaries.

SECTION II:

Neither the adoption of this ordinance nor the amendment hereby of any other ordinance of this City shall in any manner affect the prosecution for violations of ordinances, which violations were committed prior to the effective date hereof, nor to be construed as a waiver of any license or penalty or the penal provisions applicable to any violation thereof. The provisions of this ordinance, insofar as they are substantially the same as ordinance provisions previously adopted by the City related to the same subject matter, shall be constructed as restatements and continuations, and not as new enactments.

SECTION III:

References to Prior Code – Unless superseded and expressly repealed, references in City forms, documents and regulations to the chapters and sections of former adopted City of Orange Ordinances shall be construed to apply to the corresponding provisions. Ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby superseded and expressly repealed.

SECTION IV:

CEQA Findings – The City Council hereby determines that the adoptions of Measure AA, Resolution 11593, this Ordinance, Ordinance 01-25, and Resolution No. 11597 are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act because allowing and regulating safe and sane fireworks sales in the City on the Fourth of July cannot be expected to have a significant environmental effect because such sales already occur without compliance with law or regulation to ensure the public health, safety and welfare, and therefore this project regulates existing activity for the protection of the environment and other public values rather than allowing wholly new activity. Therefore, these provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines apply: section 15061(b)(3) – the “common sense” exception, section 15305 – the categorical exemption for minor alterations to land use limitations, and section 15308 – the categorical exemption for actions by regulatory agencies to protect the environment.

SECTION V:

If any section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one (or more) section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase had been declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION VI:

The City Clerk is hereby directed to certify the adoption of the Ordinance and cause the 52 3
same to be published as required by law. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days from and after the date of its final passage.

ADOPTED this ____ day of ___________________, 2025.

The map approved by the City Council is hereby incorporated by reference and entitled “City of Orange Fire Hazard Severity Zones.” The official map is located on the City’s website.

SECTION II:

Severability – Should any sentence, section clause, part or provision of this ordinance be declared invalid, the same shall not affect the validity of the ordinance as a whole or any other part thereof.

SECTION III:

Savings Clause – Neither the adoption of this ordinance nor the amendment hereby of any other ordinance of this City shall in any manner affect the prosecution for violations of ordinances, which violations were committed prior to the effective date hereof, nor to be construed as a waiver 58 2
of any license or penalty or the penal provisions applicable to any violation thereof. The provisions of this ordinance, insofar as they are substantially the same as ordinance provisions previously adopted by the City related to the same subject matter, shall be constructed as restatements and continuations, and not as new enactments.

SECTION IV:

References to Prior Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps are hereby superseded and expressly repealed.

SECTION V:

The City Council finds that the adoption of the Local Responsibility Area map as required by Assembly Bill 211 is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it involves organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment. Alternatively, it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION VI:

If any section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one (or more) section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase had been declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION VII:

The City Clerk is hereby directed to certify the adoption of this Ordinance and cause the same to be published as required by law. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days from and after the date of its final passage.

20 Goal 5: Improve Infrastructure, Mobility, and Technology 25 Goal 6: Ensure the Preservation of Historic Resources 71 Strategic plans are often the culmination of different, and at times, competing factors. On the one hand, effective strategic plans should identify clear goals and objectives that an agency intends to accomplish over a defined period. On the other hand, strategic plans should be flexible, avoiding a sole focus on the City’s immediate needs. This suggests that effective strategic plans are holistically constructed, reflecting a considered understanding of short and long-term needs, as well as the changing conditions that often drive the City’s focus and circumstances.

With Kelly Associates Management Group’s assistance, the City developed and adopted the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan (Plan) on November 26, 2024. The Plan is intended to be a “living document,” adaptable and open to change as conditions call for its amendment. Annual Plan updates are envisioned to occur each January, and the Plan’s adoption included a commitment to provide quarterly updates to the City Council and public thereby fostering progress and accountability.

The quarterly Plan updates include the Goal Action Plan with an additional column on the right hand side. This new column is entitled with the day that the respective updates are brought forward for City Council review. Although the Goal Action Plan is not an exhaustive objective list, it represents significant projects that will help the City take steps to achieve the six overarching community goals. Going forward, staff will continue to modify and update this column so the City may show which objectives have been completed, where progress has been made, and where the City is experiencing delays.

The Goal Action Plan (GAP) is intended to guide the City Council and staff so the City of Orange may achieve the six goals identified in the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan. As a part of the quarterly updates, the GAP identifies objectives, implementation strategies, timeframes, proposed funding sources, as well as an update column so the City Council and public may know what recent actions have been taken to accomplish each objective.

The objectives detailed in the GAP include the following information to ensure the City achieves each goal in an orderly fashion.

Goal 2: Enhance Economic Development and Achieve Fiscal Sustainability.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Background:

The City’s budget is a financial plan based on anticipated revenues and expenditures in a fiscal year starting July 1st through June 30th. Each year, the City’s budget is prepared, prioritizing public safety and infrastructure projects, City Council Goals, and providing the highest possible level of service to the community. The Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (FY 26) budget development has been presented and reviewed over the course of two City Council budget study sessions taking place in March and April 2025.

In summary, the FY 26 Preliminary Budget, for all funds, includes total revenues of approximately $253.5 million and total expenditures of $280.1 million, including transfers and Redevelopment Agencies. The General Fund total revenues for FY 26 are approximately $147.0 million and expenditures of $149.6 million, including transfers.

Discussion:

Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY 25) General Fund Year-End Estimates On March 25, 2025 staff presented a mid-year review including year-end estimates of FY 25 with a focus on the General Fund. Since then, staff has updated the FY 25 year-end estimates based on the third quarter revenues and expenditures. The year-end estimate for revenues decreased by $917,000 or 0.6% mainly due to an estimated decrease in sales tax. Additionally, year-end estimates for expenditures decreased by $1.4 million or 1% mainly from vacancies throughout the City. This resulted in an operating surplus of over $577,000, an increase of over $515,000 from the mid-year review. After setting aside 16.6% for the Catastrophic reserve, the General Fund has an undesignated fund balance of over $2.9 million. This positive fund balance was primarily due to onetime transfer-in from the Capital Projects Fund for road mitigation of $3 million. This estimate is based on year-to-date actuals and does not include any year-end entries. Staff will return in the fall with a more comprehensive review of FY 25 once the financial audit has been concluded.

The FY 26 Preliminary General Fund operating revenues, including transfers in, are projected to be almost $147 million, a decrease of $1.9 million or 1.3% from the proposed budget and a decrease of almost $1.5 million or 1% from the FY 25 year-end estimates.

Provided below is a summary of the assumptions used for the FY 26 General Fund revenues:
· Property Tax is the largest source of General Fund revenue and is projected to be $59.3 million, reflecting a $1.1 million or 1.8% increase to FY 26 Proposed budget; and $1.6 million or 2.8% increase over the updated FY 25 year-end estimates. Revenue growth ties to assessed property values, which typically increase annually at a rate of no greater than 2%.

Based on information from our property tax consultant, we are projecting modest growth for FY 26.
· Sales Tax is the second largest source of General Fund revenue. In FY 26, the City anticipates receiving approximately $50.1 million, a $1.5 million or 2.9% reduction from the FY 26 Proposed Budget and an increase of approximately $900,000 or 1.8% from FY 25 year-end estimates. This decrease is primarily driven by a decline in the Fuel and Service Stations sector, the City’s largest source of sales tax revenue. At mid-year, HdL projected a 12.9% decline in this industry group compared to FY 24; however, the latest report now estimates a steeper 21% decline.
· Fines and Forfeitures revenue is projected to be $2.7 million in FY 26, reflecting a $264,099 or 10.9% increase over FY 25 year-end estimates and a $576,300 or 27% increase over the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This growth is primarily driven by anticipated revenue from the expanded parking enforcement program.
· Fees for Service revenue is projected to be slightly over $6 million, a decrease of $825,000 or 12% from the FY25 year-end estimate. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) reimbursement for transport fees. The City received two payments totaling $1.0 million from IGT fees in FY 25, which accounted for two fiscal years. · Interfund Revenues are projected to be about $4.2 million, a decrease of $2.7 million or 39% City of Orange Page 3 of 10 Printed on 5/22/2025
powered by Legistar™ 99
Item #: 9.1. 5/27/2025 File #: 25-0282
· Interfund Revenues are projected to be about $4.2 million, a decrease of $2.7 million or 39% from the FY 26 proposed budget and a $2.8 million or 39% decrease from the FY25 year-end estimate. The decrease is primarily due to a change in cost allocation for the general administrative services (G&A) such as information technology, finance, human resources, and other citywide non-departmental costs. These charges are applied as revenue to the General Fund and used to offset the operating costs. The City recently completed the cost allocation study which updates the level of support, and the costs associated to provide support across city departments. While the study has not been finalized, early indications show that the G&A charges need to be reduced based on current practices and efficiencies. · Other Revenue Sources, which include Use of Money & Property, Revenue from Other Agencies, and Miscellaneous Revenues are projected to be $4.4 million, which is a reduction of $1.4 million or 49% from the FY 25 year-end estimates. Revenues in these categories include one-time revenues from donations and grants, reimbursements for expenditures, as well as income from investment interest and rental income. Many of these one-time revenues are difficult to project and fluctuate year over year.
· Transfers In, at the March 25th City Council meeting, the City Council authorized the transfer of $3,000,000 one-time funding received from CR&R for road mitigation to the General Fund.

This is a one-time transfer for FY 26. Additionally, a one-time transfer of $555,525 is included in the FY 26 Preliminary Budget, resulting from the consolidation of the City’s Dental SelfInsurance internal service fund to the General Fund.

Provided in Table 2 is a summary of the major General Fund revenues by source type, comparing the changes from the FY 25 year-end estimates, the FY 26 Proposed Budget, and the FY 26 Preliminary Budget:

Item #: 9.1. 5/27/2025 File #: 25-0282
In summary, the General Fund operating revenues, not including transfers, are projected to decrease by $1.9 million or 1.3% compared to the FY 25 Year-End Estimates, bringing the total operating revenue to over $143.4 million. The total FY 26 General Fund revenue, including transfers, is just under $147.0 million.

Fiscal Year 2025-26 (FY 26) General Fund Expenditures
The General Fund operating expenditures for FY 26 Preliminary budget is $149.6 million, a decrease of less than 1% or $1 million from the FY 26 Proposed Budget and 1% more or $1.7 million increase from FY 25 Year-End Estimates. The operating expenditure reflects the continued focus on maintaining service levels while holding costs steady.

Based on City Council direction, the FY 26 budget was created through a zero-based budget process. All departments provided documentation and descriptions of all non-personnel expenditure requests. Budget meetings were held between the departments and City Manager and Director of Finance to discuss the requests and necessity of the expenditure.

Provided below are the budget assumptions impacting the FY 26 Preliminary Budget General Fund expenditures:
· Salaries and Benefits: Salaries and benefits are projected to be $104.7 million, remain relatively unchanged from the Proposed Budget and an increase of $4.6 million or 4.6% from FY 25 Year-End Estimates. Assumptions for this category were provided at the March Budget Study Session (Attachment I). In summary, the increase included contracted Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for public safety and increases in benefits. The FY 26 Preliminary Budget for this category also includes recommended staffing changes (Attachment F) and the following budget balancing measures:
o Elimination of 7 positions totaling $1 million
o Freezing of 16 positions totaling $2.3 million
o Partially funding of 14 positions totaling $770,000
o Part-time staff reduction totaling $970,000
o Funding Overtime at 60% totaling $2.6 million
o Funding Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) at 60% totaling $2 million · Contractual Services: Expenditures in the Contractual Services category are projected to be $15.9 million, about 3% or $530,000 more than the FY 26 Proposed Budget. Additional contractual services for the following items makes up the majority of increase to this expenditure category:
o Labor relations consulting amounting to $400,000
o Increase scope to the school crossing guard contract amounting to $45,000 o Consolidation of City’s self-insured dental program into the General Fund resulting in an increase in administrative services of $84,000. The increase is offset by the increase in revenue resulting in a zero impact on the General Fund. · Materials and Supplies: This category has an increase of $200,000 or 8.75% over the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This increase reflects the addition of ongoing operating expenses related to the City’s Flock Safety Camera program.
· Miscellaneous Expenditure: Miscellaneous Expenditure has an increase of $420,000 or 18% over the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This increase reflects the fund consolidation of the City’s City of Orange Page 5 of 10 Printed on 5/22/2025
powered by Legistar™101
Item #: 9.1. 5/27/2025 File #: 25-0282
over the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This increase reflects the fund consolidation of the City’s self-insured dental program for insurance premiums into the General Fund. However, the increase in expenditure is offset by the increase in revenue resulting in a zero impact on the General Fund.
· Capital Outlay: Expenditure in this category totals $134,000 more than the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This increase reflects the City Clerk Rolling File Cabinet Replacement, as it is more appropriately included in the City’s operating budget in lieu of the Capital Improvement Plan. · Internal Service Costs (Allocations): Allocations to the City’s Internal Service Funds from the General Fund supports operating costs related to vehicle and computer equipment maintenance, and accrued liability. Additionally, the City funds portions of the Workers Compensation and General Liability Insurance through these funds. For FY 26, staff projects about $8.3 million to fund these internal service funds. This includes a $2 million reduction in allocations to the Information Technology Operating Fund and $3 million reduction in the Information Technology Capital Fund.

Total Expenditure 147,896,778 150,622,517 149,604,884 1,708,106 (1,017,633) In summary, the General Fund operating expenditures, not including transfers, are projected to decrease by $1 million or 0.7% from the FY 26 Proposed Budget and an increase of $1.7 million or 1% from the FY 25 Year-End Estimates, bringing the total operating expenditure to $149.6 million.

FY 26 General Fund - Fund Balance
Based on the updated FY 25 Year-End Estimates, the FY 26 beginning fund balance is approximately $27.5 million with over $2.9 million in undesignated fund balance. The FY 26 Preliminary Budget is projected to have an operating deficit of over $2.6 million, including transfers and one-time revenues.

Staff recommend using the undesignated fund balance of $2.9 million as a one-time budget balance measure. This results in the undesignated fund balance on June 30, 2026 dropping to just over $21,000.

At the request of the City Council from the March 25th Budget Study Session, staff prepared a 5-year forecast of the General Fund based on the Preliminary Budget. The following assumptions were used to project the revenue and expenditure in the model.
· Revenues - an average of 2.5% growth
o Sales Tax - 1.5% in FY 27 and increase to 2.5% thereafter; o Property Tax - 2% in FY 27 and increase to 3.5% thereafter; o License & Permits and Fees for Services - 2% in FY 27 and increase to 3% thereafter; and
o All other revenues remain flat.
· Expenditures - an average of 2.8% growth
o Internal Service Costs - 5% increase
o All other expenditures - 3% increase
Based on these assumptions, the City’s operating expenditure will exceed the operating revenue by approximately $7.9 million in FY 27. Meaning the General Fund will need to reduce an additional $7.9 million from the current reduction of $17.3 million. This deficit is projected to increase to approximately $9.2 million by FY 31.

FY 26 Preliminary Budget for Other Funds
Internal Service Funds (700 Series):

The Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies on a cost reimbursement basis.

Allocations to the City’s Internal Service Funds (ISFs), from the General Fund and other operating funds such as Enterprise Funds and eligible Special Revenue Funds, supports operating costs related to vehicles, computer equipment maintenance, accrued liability, workers compensation, and general liability insurance. Historically, these ISFs were underfunded in an effort to minimize impacts to the General Fund, with the intent to supplement any necessary overages by utilizing surplus at the end of the year through transfers. As the City has continued to face budgetary challenges, there has been less surplus realized, leaving these funds underfunded and deferring necessary replacements.

It is important to note that the Equipment Replacement Fund (720) is projected to have a negative fund balance of $2.1 million and the Worker’s Compensation Fund (730) is projected to have a negative fund balance of over $9 million, which will need to be addressed incrementally due to the budget constraints.

Capital Improvement Funds (500 Series):

Based on feedback received from the City Council at the April 22nd Study Session and subsequent analysis of the City’s capital needs, the following adjustments were made to the Capital Improvement Program (Attachment H):
· Addition of CIP 20556 - Orange Olive Metrolink Fence Construction, $657,800 (Fund 500 - Capital Projects Fund)
· Addition of CIP 20557 - Rampart Riverwalk Park, $1.25 million (Fund 510 - Park Development Fund)
Considering these changes, the FY 26 Capital Improvement Program totals $28.6 million, across 18 different funding sources, reflecting a $1.9 million increase from the FY 26 Proposed CIP budget presented at the April budget study session (Attachment J).

Included in the FY 26 Preliminary Budget are budget balancing measures totaling approximately $31.3 million across all funds, including $17.3 million in the General Fund, (Attachment G). These proposed measures include:
· Leveraging one-time revenues,
· Temporarily freezing and partially funding vacant positions, · Reducing funding for special events,
· Deferring replacements and repairs,
· Partially funding overtime,
· Partially funding the City’s Accrued Liability contributions, and · Deferring contributions to the General Liability Fund and Workers’ Compensation Fund, · Deferring vehicle replacements, and
· Deferring capital projects.

Conclusion
The FY 26 Preliminary Budget reflects the City’s continuing fiscal challenges while balancing public safety and a standard level of service and operations for the citizens and businesses of Orange. The Preliminary Budget includes over $17 million in budget reductions in the General Fund and the City of Orange Page 9 of 10 Printed on 5/22/2025

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Background:

The City’s budget is a financial plan based on anticipated revenues and expenditures in a fiscal year starting July 1st through June 30th. Each year, the City’s budget is prepared, prioritizing public safety and infrastructure projects, City Council Goals, and providing the highest possible level of service to the community. The Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (FY 26) budget development has been presented and reviewed over the course of two City Council budget study sessions taking place in March and April 2025.

In summary, the FY 26 Preliminary Budget, for all funds, includes total revenues of approximately $253.5 million and total expenditures of $280.1 million, including transfers and Redevelopment Agencies. The General Fund total revenues for FY 26 are approximately $147.0 million and expenditures of $149.6 million, including transfers.

Discussion:

Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY 25) General Fund Year-End Estimates On March 25, 2025 staff presented a mid-year review including year-end estimates of FY 25 with a focus on the General Fund. Since then, staff has updated the FY 25 year-end estimates based on the third quarter revenues and expenditures. The year-end estimate for revenues decreased by $917,000 or 0.6% mainly due to an estimated decrease in sales tax. Additionally, year-end estimates for expenditures decreased by $1.4 million or 1% mainly from vacancies throughout the City. This resulted in an operating surplus of over $577,000, an increase of over $515,000 from the mid-year review. After setting aside 16.6% for the Catastrophic reserve, the General Fund has an undesignated fund balance of over $2.9 million. This positive fund balance was primarily due to onetime transfer-in from the Capital Projects Fund for road mitigation of $3 million. This estimate is based on year-to-date actuals and does not include any year-end entries. Staff will return in the fall with a more comprehensive review of FY 25 once the financial audit has been concluded.

The FY 26 Preliminary General Fund operating revenues, including transfers in, are projected to be almost $147 million, a decrease of $1.9 million or 1.3% from the proposed budget and a decrease of almost $1.5 million or 1% from the FY 25 year-end estimates.

Provided below is a summary of the assumptions used for the FY 26 General Fund revenues:
· Property Tax is the largest source of General Fund revenue and is projected to be $59.3 million, reflecting a $1.1 million or 1.8% increase to FY 26 Proposed budget; and $1.6 million or 2.8% increase over the updated FY 25 year-end estimates. Revenue growth ties to assessed property values, which typically increase annually at a rate of no greater than 2%.

Based on information from our property tax consultant, we are projecting modest growth for FY 26.
· Sales Tax is the second largest source of General Fund revenue. In FY 26, the City anticipates receiving approximately $50.1 million, a $1.5 million or 2.9% reduction from the FY 26 Proposed Budget and an increase of approximately $900,000 or 1.8% from FY 25 year-end estimates. This decrease is primarily driven by a decline in the Fuel and Service Stations sector, the City’s largest source of sales tax revenue. At mid-year, HdL projected a 12.9% decline in this industry group compared to FY 24; however, the latest report now estimates a steeper 21% decline.
· Fines and Forfeitures revenue is projected to be $2.7 million in FY 26, reflecting a $264,099 or 10.9% increase over FY 25 year-end estimates and a $576,300 or 27% increase over the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This growth is primarily driven by anticipated revenue from the expanded parking enforcement program.
· Fees for Service revenue is projected to be slightly over $6 million, a decrease of $825,000 or 12% from the FY25 year-end estimate. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) reimbursement for transport fees. The City received two payments totaling $1.0 million from IGT fees in FY 25, which accounted for two fiscal years. · Interfund Revenues are projected to be about $4.2 million, a decrease of $2.7 million or 39% City of Orange Page 3 of 10 Printed on 5/22/2025
powered by Legistar™109
Item #: 9.1. 5/27/2025 File #: 25-0282
· Interfund Revenues are projected to be about $4.2 million, a decrease of $2.7 million or 39% from the FY 26 proposed budget and a $2.8 million or 39% decrease from the FY25 year-end estimate. The decrease is primarily due to a change in cost allocation for the general administrative services (G&A) such as information technology, finance, human resources, and other citywide non-departmental costs. These charges are applied as revenue to the General Fund and used to offset the operating costs. The City recently completed the cost allocation study which updates the level of support, and the costs associated to provide support across city departments. While the study has not been finalized, early indications show that the G&A charges need to be reduced based on current practices and efficiencies. · Other Revenue Sources, which include Use of Money & Property, Revenue from Other Agencies, and Miscellaneous Revenues are projected to be $4.4 million, which is a reduction of $1.4 million or 49% from the FY 25 year-end estimates. Revenues in these categories include one-time revenues from donations and grants, reimbursements for expenditures, as well as income from investment interest and rental income. Many of these one-time revenues are difficult to project and fluctuate year over year.
· Transfers In, at the March 25th City Council meeting, the City Council authorized the transfer of $3,000,000 one-time funding received from CR&R for road mitigation to the General Fund.

This is a one-time transfer for FY 26. Additionally, a one-time transfer of $555,525 is included in the FY 26 Preliminary Budget, resulting from the consolidation of the City’s Dental SelfInsurance internal service fund to the General Fund.

Provided in Table 2 is a summary of the major General Fund revenues by source type, comparing the changes from the FY 25 year-end estimates, the FY 26 Proposed Budget, and the FY 26 Preliminary Budget:

Item #: 9.1. 5/27/2025 File #: 25-0282
In summary, the General Fund operating revenues, not including transfers, are projected to decrease by $1.9 million or 1.3% compared to the FY 25 Year-End Estimates, bringing the total operating revenue to over $143.4 million. The total FY 26 General Fund revenue, including transfers, is just under $147.0 million.

Fiscal Year 2025-26 (FY 26) General Fund Expenditures
The General Fund operating expenditures for FY 26 Preliminary budget is $149.6 million, a decrease of less than 1% or $1 million from the FY 26 Proposed Budget and 1% more or $1.7 million increase from FY 25 Year-End Estimates. The operating expenditure reflects the continued focus on maintaining service levels while holding costs steady.

Based on City Council direction, the FY 26 budget was created through a zero-based budget process. All departments provided documentation and descriptions of all non-personnel expenditure requests. Budget meetings were held between the departments and City Manager and Director of Finance to discuss the requests and necessity of the expenditure.

Provided below are the budget assumptions impacting the FY 26 Preliminary Budget General Fund expenditures:
· Salaries and Benefits: Salaries and benefits are projected to be $104.7 million, remain relatively unchanged from the Proposed Budget and an increase of $4.6 million or 4.6% from FY 25 Year-End Estimates. Assumptions for this category were provided at the March Budget Study Session (Attachment I). In summary, the increase included contracted Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for public safety and increases in benefits. The FY 26 Preliminary Budget for this category also includes recommended staffing changes (Attachment F) and the following budget balancing measures:
o Elimination of 7 positions totaling $1 million
o Freezing of 16 positions totaling $2.3 million
o Partially funding of 14 positions totaling $770,000
o Part-time staff reduction totaling $970,000
o Funding Overtime at 60% totaling $2.6 million
o Funding Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) at 60% totaling $2 million · Contractual Services: Expenditures in the Contractual Services category are projected to be $15.9 million, about 3% or $530,000 more than the FY 26 Proposed Budget. Additional contractual services for the following items makes up the majority of increase to this expenditure category:
o Labor relations consulting amounting to $400,000
o Increase scope to the school crossing guard contract amounting to $45,000 o Consolidation of City’s self-insured dental program into the General Fund resulting in an increase in administrative services of $84,000. The increase is offset by the increase in revenue resulting in a zero impact on the General Fund. · Materials and Supplies: This category has an increase of $200,000 or 8.75% over the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This increase reflects the addition of ongoing operating expenses related to the City’s Flock Safety Camera program.
· Miscellaneous Expenditure: Miscellaneous Expenditure has an increase of $420,000 or 18% over the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This increase reflects the fund consolidation of the City’s City of Orange Page 5 of 10 Printed on 5/22/2025
powered by Legistar™111
Item #: 9.1. 5/27/2025 File #: 25-0282
over the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This increase reflects the fund consolidation of the City’s self-insured dental program for insurance premiums into the General Fund. However, the increase in expenditure is offset by the increase in revenue resulting in a zero impact on the General Fund.
· Capital Outlay: Expenditure in this category totals $134,000 more than the FY 26 Proposed Budget. This increase reflects the City Clerk Rolling File Cabinet Replacement, as it is more appropriately included in the City’s operating budget in lieu of the Capital Improvement Plan. · Internal Service Costs (Allocations): Allocations to the City’s Internal Service Funds from the General Fund supports operating costs related to vehicle and computer equipment maintenance, and accrued liability. Additionally, the City funds portions of the Workers Compensation and General Liability Insurance through these funds. For FY 26, staff projects about $8.3 million to fund these internal service funds. This includes a $2 million reduction in allocations to the Information Technology Operating Fund and $3 million reduction in the Information Technology Capital Fund.

FY 26 General Fund - Fund Balance
Based on the updated FY 25 Year-End Estimates, the FY 26 beginning fund balance is approximately $27.5 million with over $2.9 million in undesignated fund balance. The FY 26 Preliminary Budget is projected to have an operating deficit of over $2.6 million, including transfers and one-time revenues.

Staff recommend using the undesignated fund balance of $2.9 million as a one-time budget balance measure. This results in the undesignated fund balance on June 30, 2026 dropping to just over $21,000.

At the request of the City Council from the March 25th Budget Study Session, staff prepared a 5-year forecast of the General Fund based on the Preliminary Budget. The following assumptions were used to project the revenue and expenditure in the model.
· Revenues - an average of 2.5% growth
o Sales Tax - 1.5% in FY 27 and increase to 2.5% thereafter; o Property Tax - 2% in FY 27 and increase to 3.5% thereafter; o License & Permits and Fees for Services - 2% in FY 27 and increase to 3% thereafter; and
o All other revenues remain flat.
· Expenditures - an average of 2.8% growth
o Internal Service Costs - 5% increase
o All other expenditures - 3% increase
Based on these assumptions, the City’s operating expenditure will exceed the operating revenue by approximately $7.9 million in FY 27. Meaning the General Fund will need to reduce an additional $7.9 million from the current reduction of $17.3 million. This deficit is projected to increase to approximately $9.2 million by FY 31.

FY 26 Preliminary Budget for Other Funds
Internal Service Funds (700 Series):

The Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies on a cost reimbursement basis.

Allocations to the City’s Internal Service Funds (ISFs), from the General Fund and other operating funds such as Enterprise Funds and eligible Special Revenue Funds, supports operating costs related to vehicles, computer equipment maintenance, accrued liability, workers compensation, and general liability insurance. Historically, these ISFs were underfunded in an effort to minimize impacts to the General Fund, with the intent to supplement any necessary overages by utilizing surplus at the end of the year through transfers. As the City has continued to face budgetary challenges, there has been less surplus realized, leaving these funds underfunded and deferring necessary replacements.

It is important to note that the Equipment Replacement Fund (720) is projected to have a negative fund balance of $2.1 million and the Worker’s Compensation Fund (730) is projected to have a negative fund balance of over $9 million, which will need to be addressed incrementally due to the budget constraints.

Capital Improvement Funds (500 Series):

Based on feedback received from the City Council at the April 22nd Study Session and subsequent analysis of the City’s capital needs, the following adjustments were made to the Capital Improvement Program (Attachment H):
· Addition of CIP 20556 - Orange Olive Metrolink Fence Construction, $657,800 (Fund 500 - Capital Projects Fund)
· Addition of CIP 20557 - Rampart Riverwalk Park, $1.25 million (Fund 510 - Park Development Fund)
Considering these changes, the FY 26 Capital Improvement Program totals $28.6 million, across 18 different funding sources, reflecting a $1.9 million increase from the FY 26 Proposed CIP budget presented at the April budget study session (Attachment J).

20476 El Modena Basin Area Improvements Design

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Through a 1973 use agreement with Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD), the City operates the El Modena Basin located north of the intersection of S. Hewes St. and E. Jordan Ave. as a public park. Currently, the El Modena Basin’s amenities include a decomposed granite walking path around the interior open space.

This project would provide area lighting to portions of the walking path and improve the walking path for an enhanced experience and may also include possible ADA access improvements as necessary. The requested funding for Fiscal Year 2025-26 includes the costs to design the project, which includes working with OCFCD for their approval on the project. Preliminary construction costs for new lighting and irrigation are approximately $2.5 million and is being proposed to be funded in Fiscal Year 2028-29.

20513 New Park in West Orange

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The New Park in West Orange project was approved as a part of the Community Services FY 24 CIP plan. A

2.4-acre piece of property managed by Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) located on W.

Chapman between interstate 5 and the 57 freeway is the identified new park location. In FY 24, the City entered into a long-term 50-year lease with OCFCD to build the park on the property.

Project design and environmental review process began in FY 24. During the park design process, OCFCD notified the City that they would be concurrently working on a levee height correction project in the Santa Ana Riverbed adjacent to the park site. The County’s levee project boundary lines will impact a portion of the new park site, so design plans from the County must be completed prior to the completion of new park plans. As such, the City will continue to work closely with OCFCD to coordinate the timing of design and construction for both projects.

City funding for construction has been identified. In addition, federal Community Projects Funding in the amount of $850,000 was awarded for construction by Congressman Correa in FY 25. City expenses will be offset by the federal funding following execution of an agreement between the City and the federal granting agency.

20521 Yorba Dog Park Improvements

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City owns and maintains the Dog Park at Yorba Park. This project will make improvements to the Yorba Dog Park in phases. Phase 1 will replace the decomposed granite (DG) with new hardscape. The dog park at Yorba Park currently uses a system of DG entry paths. Compaction of the DG is difficult to maintain due to foot traffic in and out of the dog park areas, causing the DG to become loose and uneven, which creates tripping hazards. The loose DG also enters the drainage system, causing blockages and reoccurring maintenance issues. At the request of the Orange Dog Park Association (ODPA), staff evaluated options for improving these areas. Installation of hardscape such as concrete pavers in place of the DG and a retaining wall will reduce overall ongoing maintenance costs. In addition, the project includes related ADA access gate, irrigation, and turf repairs.

Phase 2 includes an evaluation and possible installation of several new amenities at the Dog Park, such as shade structures, and lighting, at the request of the ODPA. The potential evaluation of these amenities will include approval from the Orange County Environmental Health Division, the Lead Enforcement Agency, for the methane monitoring system associated with the landfill upon which the Dog Park was built. Based on the results of the evaluation, a design will be completed. This phase of the overall project is pending full funding from ODPA. The appropriation currently associated with the project will fund Phase I of the project only.

20552 Park Restroom Interior Renovations

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Nineteen of the City’s parks have restroom buildings. Many of these restrooms were last renovated 15 to 20 years ago and are in need of renovation to ensure the restrooms are a safe, durable, and functional space for public use. This project will involve initial evaluation, design, and renovation of facilities that are past their useful life or are in need of an update in subsequent years. A specific scope will be developed for each restroom depending on individual needs. Estimates to rehabilitate each restroom varies, so project budget will vary every fiscal year. Based upon site inspections and evaluations, the first restroom facilities in need of rehabilitation are at Hart Park.

20553 Sports Court Resurfacing

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City has 22 parks, of which, several have sports courts. Parks with either tennis/pickleball, basketball, volleyball, and/or handball courts include Steve Ambriz, El Camino Real, Grijalva, Hart, Santiago Hills, and Serrano Parks. Court surfacing is specialized and requires maintenance on a regular schedule in order to maintain a safe playing surface. A typical maintenance schedule includes court resurfacing every five years. The oldest courts were last resurfaced in 2010, 2012, and 2014. With a total of 10 sports courts, the proposed court resurfacing program will resurface two courts annually so that all courts are resurfaced every 5 years. All 10 courts have been assessed by staff and priority for resurfacing has been based upon current conditions.

Estimates to resurface each sports court varies, so project budget will vary every fiscal year. Grijalva Park basketball courts were resurfaced in FY 25. The next courts most in need of resurfacing currently are Hart Park tennis courts.

30048 El Modena Park Area Renovation

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Several of the amenities at El Modena Park are in need of replacement or repair in order to maintain a safe and functional park environment for patrons. Improvements were planned as a phased project. Phase 1 was completed in FY 23 and included irrigation improvements and installation of a new tot lot shade structure. Phase 2, also completed in FY 23, included installation of rubberized surfacing at the tot lot.

Phase 3 of the project includes design and installation of a new backstop, fencing, poles, and netting around the existing baseball field to address safety concerns related to rogue foul balls. New netting installed along the 3rd baseline will be 70’ high, which will deter foul balls from flying into the street and into neighboring properties. A new 40-foot-tall chain link backstop will include an overhead netting hood. The purpose of the hood is to address foul balls that fly over the current backstop into neighboring houses which cause liability issues due to property damage. This project will also include replacement of failing retaining walls and surface and drainage improvements to the field.

The design process is scheduled for completion in FY 25, with construction anticipated in FY 26. Once the design phase is complete, staff will pursue Major League Baseball (MLB) grant funding to supplement 512 funds. The MLB grant would provide a 50% match, but the City will have to demonstrate full funding of the project to apply. The full funding requirement can be met by utilizing all 512 funds available and supplementing the difference with 510 funds. If the City does not receive the grant funding, the project will be reevaluated.

20321 Grijalva Park Master Plan Update

CARRYOVER PROJECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City owns the 42-acre Grijalva Park site which is being developed in phases. In 2003, Phase I was completed on 15 acres and includes an active park with soccer fields, a tot lot, and a small activity room. In 2005, a Grijalva Park Master Plan was developed for the remaining 27 acres which included a sports center/gymnasium, skate park, amphitheater, additional restrooms, picnic facilities, an aquatics center, and additional parking. In 2011, the Sports Center at Grijalva Park was opened, along with adjacent parking. Nine acres remained undeveloped. In 2019, the City Council gave their support for four community partners to fundraise to develop the vacant property. Since then, three groups began to fundraise for amenities including a skatepark, community arts theater, and community/library/senior center. In 2022, the City Council funded the skate park portion of the plan, which is a separate CIP.

This project has carryover funding of $100,000. As the Master Plan has evolved since 2005, the carryover funding would be used to reconceptualize the remaining undeveloped acres to understand what will feasibly fit within the allowable open space. The reconceptualized plan would also include an updated estimate regarding the parking necessary to accommodate all the proposed amenities and suggest what, if any, amendments or technical memoranda need to accompany the existing Mitigated Negative Declaration.

20477 Area Lighting Replacement at Grijalva Park

CARRYOVER PROJECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Currently, there are a total of 54 light poles providing area/pathway lighting for Grijalva Park (side A). The lighting was designed with metal poles mounted on concrete foundations at ground level. Deterioration near the base of these poles has resulted in the need to replace several light poles in past years. Despite past measures taken to protect the poles, deterioration progresses due to continued corrosion. Several light poles have now been removed, including two which came down during heavy winds. Nine poles in total have been removed due to safety concerns and all others are being evaluated regularly. The objective of this project is to replace all the area lighting to include new poles and fixtures, designed to resist corrosion. Design was completed in FY 23 and construction is expected to be completed by early FY 26. This project is partially funded through the Per Capita Allocation program funded through Prop 68.

20544 Serrano Park Lodge Pole Fencing
Installation

CARRYOVER PROJECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Serrano Park has several park amenities, including a large open field adjacent to the right-of-way sidewalk.

The park and the passive field are not fenced in or gated. As the open field is accessible from the street, it often experiences vandalism as a result of unauthorized vehicles intentionally driving onto the grass. This project would install approximately 475 linear feet of new, 3’ high, single rail lodge pole fencing along two sections of the park to prevent unauthorized vehicle access into the park. The poles will be installed at one section off Sierra Vista Drive and another section along the base of the slope that separates the park from the adjacent HOA landscaped area.

20505 Fire Station 5 Exercise Room Addition

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project establishes funding for the addition of an exercise room at Fire Station 5. Constructed in 1965, Fire Station 5 currently lacks the necessary space to store and utilize exercise equipment, crucial for cultivating a stronger and more physically fit workforce. Presently, the exercise equipment is located on the apparatus bay floor, alongside the frontline apparatus used in daily emergencies, significantly impeding the parking of emergency vehicles within the structure. The addition of an exercise room to the rear of Station 5 will provide flexibility for the future operational needs of the Fire Department by creating more space for personnel and apparatus. The existing fire station will largely remain unchanged, with some minor aesthetic improvements to complement the new room addition.

20429 South Water Yard Storage Replacement

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the design and construction of the warehouse replacement. The existing 5,000 square feet warehouse will be renovated and used in conjunction with the proposed Fire Department Headquarter. The replacement warehouse will be constructed at the water division's south yard for parts and equipment storage.

This project also provides for the cover structure over the water division's materials storage area in compliance with the National Pollutants Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. The structure prevents run-off from washing out construction material such as sands, asphalt, base, and soil into the storm drain system. It also helps reduce noise and assists with dust control. This project will also pursue sustainable energy and efficiency measures such as integrated solar panels.

1. SUBJECT
First Budget Study Session for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund Budget.

2. SUMMARY
This budget study session is intended to provide an analysis and assumptions of the proposed budget for the General Fund revenue and expenditure for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Provide direction to staff to prepare the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Preliminary Budget.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact will be determined with final budget adoption.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 2: Enhance Economic Development and Achieve Fiscal Sustainability

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Fiscal Year 2025-26 (FY 26) continues to be a challenging year to present a structurally balanced budget for the General Fund. The two largest revenue sources, Property Tax and Sales Tax, for the City are projected to remain flat in FY 26. Inflation is expected to continue to increase, impacting the cost of the City’s contracts and material purchases. The City, once again, will need to implement several budget balancing measures totaling $13 million, to balance the budget. The following measures are included in the proposed FY 26 budget, and are intended to limit the service impacts to the residents and community:
· leveraging one-time revenues,
· temporarily freezing and partially funding vacant positions, · reducing funding for special events,
· deferring replacements and repairs,
· partially funding overtime,

· partially funding the City’s Accrued Liability contributions, · deferring contributions to the General Liability Fund and Workers’ Compensation Fund, and · use the estimated undesignated fund balance from FY 25.

Below are the details of the FY 26 General Fund proposed budget.

General Fund Revenues for FY 26
Based on current trends and analysis, the General Fund revenues are projected to remain flat for FY 26 at approximately $149.4 million, a $19,000 increase from the ending estimated revenue for Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY 25).

Table 1 (below) is a summary of the General Fund revenues by source type, comparing the changes from the FY 24 actuals, the FY 25 year-end estimates, and the FY 26 proposed budget:

TOTAL REVENUES 146,606,405 149,391,275 149,410,562 19,287 Provided below are some key assumptions used for the FY 26 General Fund revenues:
· Property Tax: This is the City’s largest source of revenue, and is projected to be $58.2 million in FY 26, an increase of $1.6 million or 2.9% over FY 25 year-end estimates. Based on information from the City’s property tax consultant, staff are projecting modest growth for FY

26. Despite the lower volume of home sales due to low inventory and higher interest rates, the City of Orange Page 2 of 6 Printed on 3/20/2025

Item #: 7.1. 3/25/2025 File #: 25-0121

26. Despite the lower volume of home sales due to low inventory and higher interest rates, the annual increase in assessed property values and property tax in lieu of motor vehicle license fees are expected to be slightly above budget as this revenue is tied to property tax growth. · Sales Tax: The FY 26 revenue is projected to remain flat at $51.6 million, reflecting a $515,000 or 1% increase over the FY 25 estimate. The City’s sales tax, its second-largest General Fund revenue source, experienced an overall decline in actual sales for the quarter ending September 30, 2024. This decrease was driven by a 13.7% drop in the City’s major business group, Fuel and Service Stations, mirroring the statewide trend as fuel and oil prices fell during the quarter. Updated sales and use tax data for the quarter ending December 31, 2024, is expected by early April. If necessary, this information will be used to revise the FY 26 projection for the Preliminary Budget presented in May. · Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): The projected TOT revenue for FY 26 is $6.3 million, reflecting a slight increase of $104,000 or 1.7% compared to the FY 25 estimate. Since the pandemic, consumers have been shifting their spending to experiences, travel, and leisure.

While the U.S. Travel Association is reporting a positive year-over-year growth, they caution that some travel indicators are showing decline, underscoring this category’s susceptibility to economic conditions.
· Revenue from Other Agencies: FY 26 revenue in this category is projected at $1.4 million, a $1.3 million or 49% decrease from FY 25 year-end estimate. This category is primarily comprised of revenue received from other government agencies, as well as one-time grants from sources such as the California Office of Traffic Safety, California Highway Patrol, and California State Library.
· Fees for Services: Staff is projecting a decrease of $877,000 or 12.8%, compared to FY 25 estimate, for a total of $6.0 million in FY 26. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) reimbursement for medical transport fees. The City received $1.0 million from IGT fees in FY 25, which accounted for reimbursement of two fiscal years.

Therefore, the FY 26 projection is reduced by $500,000, in line with the historical average of reimbursement received from IGT.
· Miscellaneous Revenue: Miscellaneous revenue is projected to decrease by $1.0 million or

82.6%, from an estimated $1.2 million in FY 25 to a projected $215,366 in FY 26. This category includes one-time expense reimbursements, donations, and other miscellaneous revenues. One-time reimbursements and donations are difficult to project and, therefore, has been excluded in the proposed budget.

Proposed General Fund Expenditure for FY 26
The proposed FY 26 General Fund expenditure amounts to approximately $150.6 million. This reflects a $1.3 million or 1% increase in expenditure over the FY 25 year-end estimate.

TOTAL EXPENDITURES 143,923,841 149,329,788 150,622,517 1,292,729 Provided below are the budget assumptions impacting the FY 26 General Fund expenditures:
· Salaries & Benefits: The FY 26 proposed budget for salaries and benefits is $104.8 million, an increase of about $4.8 million or 5% above the FY 25 year-end estimate and $4.5 million compared to FY 24. The increase is attributed to the following factors:
o Negotiated Salary Increase for Safety: The current salaries and benefits budget includes a 2-3% increase for safety employees, varying by bargaining group. This accounted for over $600,000 or 6% of the overall increase. o Increase in Contributions to Accrued Liability, Workers Compensation, and Unfunded Liability: The rates for these contributions have increased significantly, with most of the increase in unfunded liability. These costs contribute to an increase of $7 million and accounts for 74% of the proposed increase to salaries and benefits for FY

26. The City has historically underfunded its Accrued Liability and Worker’s Compensation programs significantly. Additionally, FY 26 is the second year that the City received an unfunded liability invoice from CalPERS. The FY 25 payment was $3 million, and the projected payment for FY 26 is about $5.1 million. Continuing to underfund this program will lead to compounding payments in future years. Due to budget constraints, the proposed budget will continue to underfund its unfunded liability contributions by 40%, resulting in a budget reduction of approximately $2.1 million. o Overtime: Overtime budget is determined by the department’s projected need annually.

Similar to the item above, the City has historically underfunded this category. The FY 25 overtime budget in the General Fund is $5.2 million and the year-end estimate is almost $8.2 million, a shortfall of about $3 million. Staff is projecting $6.5 million for overtime next fiscal year. More than 70% or $4.6 million of overtime is in the Fire Department and about 25% or $1.6 million is in the Police Department. Again, due to budget constraints, the proposed budget will continue to underfund overtime by 40%, leading to a budget reduction of almost $2.6 million.
o Vacant Positions: During FY 25, there were more than 70 vacant positions, including City of Orange Page 4 of 6 Printed on 3/20/2025
powered by Legistar™258
Item #: 7.1. 3/25/2025 File #: 25-0121
o Vacant Positions: During FY 25, there were more than 70 vacant positions, including vacancies held due to budget constraints. These vacancies result from resignations, retirements, and/or separations that cannot be predicted, which partially contribute to the difference in FY 25 year-end estimates to FY 26 proposed budget.

While these factors have contributed to a proposed increase in salaries and benefits to the City, there have been several cost-reduction measures incorporated in the proposed budget within the salaries and benefits category:
o Part-Time Staff Reduction: Library and Community Services part-time employees have been budgeted at 50% funded due to the cuts in programming within both departments, resulting in a $1.1 million reduction. These departments are maintaining a minimal level of staffing to cover the remaining programs such as the revised aquatics program and coverage for the reduced hours at the Library. o Full-Time Position Vacancies: Holding positions vacant and partially funding vacancies will amount to about a $4.3 million reduction from the proposed budget.

In summary, the total increase in salaries and benefits of $14.9 million is offset by the costreduction of $10.1 million for a net increase of $4.8 million or 5% in FY 26. · Contractual Services: FY 26 contractual services included two new contracts, crossing guards and parking enforcement, which were supplemented by one-time funding in FY 25. The reduction in special event contracts, one-time services, and other maintenance contracts attributed to the overall reduction of $510,000 or 3% in this category.

Materials and Supplies: The proposed budget for this category has an increase of over $390,000 or 21% when compared to the FY 25 year-end estimate. This accounts for the reinstatement of the Library department budget for books amounting to $100,000, an increase of $80,000 to Police and Fire uniform costs, and the rising cost due to inflation in materials and supplies.
· Internal Service Costs/Allocations: While the Cost Allocation Plan study is being conducted by the City’s consultant, staff has made minor adjustments to the General Fund contribution for internal services based on the current available fund balance in the Internal Service Funds.

These proposed adjustments provide a cost reduction of $2.9 million in FY 26. The Cost Allocation Plan will be brought to the City Council for review in April. The approved changes will then be incorporated in the Preliminary Budget presentation scheduled for May.

Overall, the FY 26 operating budget increased by $1.3 million or 1% compared to FY 25 and increased by $6.7 million or 5% compared to FY 24.

Proposed General Fund Balance for FY 26
The proposed FY 26 General Fund budget includes a total revenue of $149.4 million, including transfers and expenditures totaling $150.6 million, including budget balancing measures, resulting in an operating deficit of approximately $1.2 million. The projected ending fund balance at June 30, 2026 is almost $25.8 million, a decrease of just under $1.2 million from FY 25. Accounting for the catastrophic reserve of 16.6% or $25.0 million, the General Fund is projected to have an City of Orange Page 5 of 6 Printed on 3/20/2025
powered by Legistar™259
Item #: 7.1. 3/25/2025 File #: 25-0121
catastrophic reserve of 16.6% or $25.0 million, the General Fund is projected to have an undesignated fund balance of just over $790,000. Table 3 highlights the Proposed General Fund, fund balance, for FY 26:

It is important to note that without the one-time transfers of $3.5 million, budget reduction measures of $13.0 million, and using the estimated undesignated fund balance from FY 25, the deficit for FY 26 proposed General Fund budget would have been $18.7 million. These cost reduction measures to balance the budget today will continue to have compounding effects in future years if not addressed.

The next study session is tentatively planned for April 22nd and will focus on the City’s Capital Improvement Program. Staff will incorporate the City Council’s directions and feedback received from both study sessions in the FY 26 Preliminary Budget for review during a regular City Council meeting in May.

2. Affirm staff recommendation for the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan for the period of Fiscal Year 2025-26 through Fiscal Year 2029-30.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact will be determined with the final budget adoption.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
This is the second budget study session in support of the preparation of the City’s Fiscal Year 2025- 26 (FY 26) Budget focusing on the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the period of Fiscal Year 2025-26 through Fiscal Year 2029-30 (FY 26 Five-Year CIP).

The FY 26 Five-Year CIP serves as a comprehensive budget and strategic planning tool used to determine the extent of future needs and identify sources of funding. Funding is provided by a variety of sources including development impact fees, transportation funds, grants, reimbursement agreements, and long-term financing.

The City continues to provide its residents and businesses with much-needed capital infrastructure improvements, despite budgetary challenges. While several projects have been deferred in recent years, the City strives to maintain a steady level of capital improvement activity in Orange.

The FY 26 Five-Year CIP proposed 69 projects ranging from $10,000 to $8.25 million, in various funds. For FY 26 itself, there are 50 budgeted projects while the remaining 19 are anticipated to start during the out-years. In addition, there are 25 projects that will be continued into FY 26, with no new funding requested in future years. With these proposed projects, the City Council will be investing over $26.7 million in the upcoming fiscal year and approximately $128.6 million in various funds over City of Orange Page 1 of 10 Printed on 4/17/2025
powered by Legistar™263
Item #: 6.1. 4/22/2025 File #: 25-0215
over $26.7 million in the upcoming fiscal year and approximately $128.6 million in various funds over the five-year planning horizon. This is in addition to project appropriations that will be carried over from the current fiscal year. To ease the challenges of the City’s budgetary operating deficit, approximately $13.9 million in projects were recommended for defer or reduce in FY 26.

As in previous years, the CIP will be funded through several funds in FY 26. Chart 1 below summarizes the proposed FY 26 CIP budget.

Chart 1: FY 26 Proposed CIP Budget by Fund
For FY 26, there are eight project categories. Most of the investment, $9.9 million, is towards the improvement of Roads and Traffic conditions, around the City, $1.4 million towards city-wide Public Safety, $9.6 million towards City Water and Sewer improvements, and a $1.6 million investment in the City’s Park renovations. Chart 2 summarizes the project categories for FY 26 proposed CIP budget.

The project will construct ten lighted pickleball courts, install shaded outdoor fitness equipment, area and pathway lighting, paved access to courts and amenities, shaded spectator seating, and spaces for gathering amongst other associated improvements. A $2 million Community Project Funding grant, administered through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), was secured for this project budget, which is supplemented by local funds. The application to access the funds has been approved by HUD and the City is now able to draw down those funds. The construction phase of the project is expected to begin in 2025.

Pavement Management Program (13120)
This program coordinates the comprehensive maintenance needs of the City’s road system.

Maintenance strategies include asphalt resurfacing, slurry seal, and reconstruction as needed.

Approximately $8.2 million is requested in FY 26, with $ 2 million in funding from CR&R Road Mitigation revenue. Based on the City’s Pavement Management Plan, the City should be spending approximately $10 million annually on road maintenance to prevent long-term deterioration. This program is funded by Measure M2, Gas Tax, Capital Projects, and the Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Account funds.

Water Projects
A commitment of $6.2 million in FY 26 toward water infrastructure projects intended to maintain or improve the City’s water production and distribution. This includes $2 million for pipeline replacement, which provides for the design and construction of water mainline replacements for the City's water system. Additionally, $2.8 million is proposed for the drilling of a new water production well. The new well is designed to provide approximately 3,000 gallons per minute and significantly enhance the City’s groundwater production.

Sewer Projects
$3.4 million is proposed for the Sewer Replacement Program to maintain or improve the City’s sewer pipe network, which provides for the design and construction of sewer mainline replacements for the City's sewer system. Approximately one mile of pipeline is targeted to be replaced annually due to increasing age, substandard sizing, corrosion, or high maintenance. The program will focus on locations such as Grand Street, Glassell Street, Center Street, Culver Avenue, Olive Street, and Maple Avenue.

Capital Projects Fund (500)
The General Fund has been the primary funding source for the Capital Projects Fund (500). This funding provided necessary reinvestment in the City’s aging infrastructure. However, due to recent budgetary challenges, monies for these infrastructure needs have not been contributed towards this fund for some time. Several projects have been in deferment despite an evaluation of poor condition.

As such, the City continues to prioritize projects that can no longer be deferred due to safety concerns and projects that are partially grant funded. Starting in FY 24, the Capital Projects Fund (500) received $6,000,000 lump sum for retroactive road mitigation, $3,000,000 from CR&R for road mitigation in FY 25 and is expected to continue to receive $2,000,000 annually until FY 34. For Council consideration, there are approximately $2.7 million in projects proposed for FY 26:

1. Pavement Management Program (13120) - $2,000,000;

2. Minor Traffic Control Devices (16302) - $200,000;

3. Pedestrian Beacon Upgrades (20518) - $27,730;

4. Streetlight Pole Replacement Program (20374) - $470,000.

Deferred Projects
To address the City’s budgetary constraints, several projects that had been recommended from City departments have been deferred and are not included in the FY 26 CIP. These projects are listed on the following page:

FY 26 revenues and expenditures for the Capital Projects Fund (500) are proposed at $2 million and $3 million, respectively, which includes road mitigation fee revenue and $3 million of capital expenses and contribution to the OC Animal Care capital improvements. The result is a proposed FY 26 ending fund balance of almost $6 million. After setting aside $4.8 million per the City Council Reserve Policy, the undesignated/unreserved Fund balance at June 30, 2026 is just over $1.1 million.

The Water Fund will begin FY 26 with an estimated fund balance of approximately $9.0 million. The FY 26 projections are $43.1 million in revenue and expenditures at approximately $47.1 million, resulting in an estimated ending fund balance of just under $4.9 million. It is important to note that Water Fund is projected to not have enough fund balance to meet the City Council reserve in FY 26.

The Sanitation Fund will begin FY 26 with an estimated fund balance of $1.7 million. The FY 26 projections are $9.0 million in revenue and expenditures at approximately $8.8 million, resulting in an estimated ending fund balance of just under $2 million. After setting aside $1.3 million per the City Council Reserve Policy, the undesignated/unreserved Fund balance at June 30, 2026 is just under $670,000.

Special Revenue Funds:

Special Revenue Funds are funding from various government agencies to support a wide range of City infrastructure. These funds are projected to have sufficient funding to support the proposed City of Orange Page 7 of 10 Printed on 4/17/2025

Computer Replacement Fund:

Computer Replacement Fund is primarily supported by the General Fund. Due to budget constraints, the General Fund has not been consistent with its contributions to this fund. The last contribution was in FY 23 and it was designated for the Public Safety Enterprise System. Based on the estimated fund balance, The Computer Replacement Fund has sufficient funding to support the proposed projects for FY 26.

Conclusion
The Proposed FY 26 CIP Budget and the Proposed Five-Year CIP reflect the City’s ongoing challenges with addressing the General Fund’s operating deficit, while also maintaining a standard level of service and operations for the citizens and businesses of Orange. Staff is seeking City Council affirmation or to provide staff with alternatives to the FY 26 Proposed Budget and Five-Year CIP.

In the next two months, staff will continue to refine the City’s FY 26 operating and CIP budgets for preliminary review in May 2026 and final adoption in June 2026.
