REGARDING WATER SUPPLY CROSS-CONNECTIONS, AND MAKING

A DETERMINATION THAT THE ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT UNDER THE

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

BACKGROUND
In December 2023, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted a Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) that replaced requirements of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations governing backflow prevention and crossconnection control related to water systems. The CCCPH is a comprehensive document that provides guidelines for preventing the contamination of drinking water systems in California. Cross connection refers to any unprotected connection between any part of a water system used or intended to supply water for drinking purposes and any source or system containing water or substances that are not or cannot be approved as a safe, wholesome, and potable for human consumption. Water agencies are required to adopt the CCCPH as its guidelines for carrying out the cross-connection control program by July 2025.

DISCUSSION
The primary focus of the CCCPH is to identify, prevent, and manage cross-connections, which are situations where non-potable water sources can contaminate the water supply.

As a water service provider, the City of Paramount is required to adopt the CCCPH as the guidelines for its cross-connection control program. Additionally, staff is updating the applicable sections of the Municipal Code to align with CCCPH and to ensure successful implementation of its program.

The City’s water system currently includes approximately 550 backflow devices, which require annual testing by a certified backflow assembly tester. The annual testing requirement is to ensure that contaminated water does not get into the City’s water system. The City is responsible for notifying customers with backflow devices to test annually and keep inventory of these devices. Given the State’s requirement to adopt the Agenda Report May 27, 2025
ORDINANCE NO 1201 Page 2
CCCPH, the City is also updating applicable sections of the Municipal Code to align with CCCPH requirements, including clarifying language on procedures related to annual backflow testing, and allowing the City to take safety measures to prevent potential cross connection and maintain a safe drinking water supply.

Below is a summary of the recommended changes to the City’s Municipal Code Section

13.04.150 for the City to most effectively safeguard the public water supply.  Replaces reference of the State of California Code of Regulations Title 17 to the State Water Resources Control Board CCCPH as the basis for the crossconnection control regulations.  Provides greater advance notice to water customers regarding the annual testing requirement of backflow devices (i.e. City will provide a minimum 40 calendar days advance notice instead of 30 days).
 Clarifying language on the schedule of City notifications for backflow device testing and maintenance.
 Provides the City with the authority to implement measures to protect the public water system that is consistent with CCCPH, including water service shutoff for non-compliance.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is currently no fiscal impact to the City.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 4: Environmental Health - Promote, protect, and enhance a healthy, sustainably built, and natural environment.

The City’s cross connection program is adopted pursuant to the State Water Resources Control Board guidance document entitled "Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH),” dated July 1, 2025, as amended from time to time. In the event of a conflict between this Section 13.04.050 and mandatory provisions of the CCCPH, the terms of the CCCPH shall control.

3. It is unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation at any time to make or maintain or cause to be made or maintained, temporarily or permanently, for any period of time, any cross-connection between plumbing pipes or water fixtures being served with water by the City Water Department and any other source of water supply, or to maintain any sanitary fixture or other appurtenances or fixtures which by reason of their construction may cause ORDINANCE NO. 1201

B. Cross-Connection Protection Requirements.

1. General Provisions.
a. Unprotected cross-connections with the public water supply are prohibited.
b. Whenever backflow protection has been found necessary, the City will require the water customer to install an approved backflow prevention device at their own expense for continued services or before a new service will be granted.
c. Wherever backflow protection has been found necessary on a water supply line entering a water customer's premises, then any and all water supply lines from the City's mains entering such premises, buildings, or structures shall be protected by an approved backflow prevention device. The type of device to be installed will be in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter.

2. Where Protection Is Required.
a. Each service connection from the City water system for supplying water to premises having an auxiliary water supply shall be protected against backflow of water from the premises into the public water system unless the auxiliary water supply is accepted as an additional source by the City, and is approved by the public health agency with proper jurisdiction.
b. Each service connection from the City water system for supplying water to any premises on which any substance is handled in such fashion as may allow its entry into the water system shall be protected against backflow of the water from the premises into the public system. This shall include the handling of process waters and waters originating from the City water system which have been subjected to deterioration in sanitary quality.
c. Backflow prevention devices shall be installed on the service connection to any premises having: (i) internal cross-connections that cannot be permanently corrected and controlled to the satisfaction of the State or local Health Department and the City; or (ii) intricate plumbing and piping arrangements or entry to all portions of the premises is not readily accessible for inspection purposes, making it impracticable or impossible to ascertain whether or not crossconnections exist.

Such check valve shall not be considered adequate if backflow protection ORDINANCE NO. 1201
June 10, 2025; Page 5
is deemed necessary to protect the City's mains from pollution or contamination; in such cases the installation of approved backflow devices at such service connections shall be required.

C. Backflow Prevention Devices.

1. Approved Backflow Prevention Devices.
a. Only backflow prevention devices that have been approved by the City shall be acceptable for installation by a water customer connected to the City's potable water system.
b. The City will provide, upon request, a list of approved backflow prevention devices to any affected customer.

2. Backflow Prevention Device Installation. Backflow prevention devices shall be installed in a manner prescribed in Section 3.3.2 (“Installation Criteria for Backflow Protection”) of the CCCPH. Location of the devices should be as close as practical to the customer's connection. The City shall have the final authority to determine the required location of a backflow prevention device. a. Air-Gap Separation. The air-gap separation shall be located on the customer's side of and as close to the service connection as is practical.

All piping from the service connection to the receiving tank shall be above grade and be entirely visible. No water use shall be provided from any point between the service connection and the air-gap separation. The water inlet piping shall terminate a distance of at least two pipe diameters of the supply inlet, but in no case less than one inch above the overflow rim of the receiving tank.
b. Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Prevention Device. The approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device shall be installed on the customer's side of and as close to the service connection as is practical. The device shall be installed a minimum of 12 inches above grade and not more than 36 inches above grade measured from the bottom of the device and with a minimum of 12 inches side clearance. The device shall be installed so that it is readily accessible for maintenance and testing. Water supplied from any point between the service connection and the RP device shall be protected in a manner approved by the City.
c. Double Check Valve Assembly. The approved double check valve assembly shall be located as close as practical to the customer's connection and shall be installed above grade, if possible, and in a manner where it is readily accessible for testing and maintenance. If a double check valve assembly is put below grade it must be installed in a vault such that there is a minimum of six inches between the bottom of the vault and the bottom of the device, so that the top of the device is no more than a maximum of eight inches below grade, so there is a ORDINANCE NO. 1201
June 10, 2025; Page 6
minimum of six inches of clearance between the side of the device with the test cocks and the side of the vault, and so there is a minimum of three inches clearance between the other side of the device and the side of the vault. Special consideration must be given to double check valve assemblies of the "Y" type. These devices must be installed on their "side" with the tests cocks in a vertical position so that either check valve may be removed for service without removing the device. Vaults without an integrated bottom must be placed on a three-inch layer of gravel.

3. Backflow Prevention Device Testing And Maintenance.
a. The owners of any premises on which, or on account of which, backflow prevention devices are installed, shall have the devices tested by a person who is certified by an appropriate governing agency and has demonstrated their competency in testing of these devices to the City.

Backflow prevention devices must be tested at least annually and immediately after installation, relocation or repair. The City may require a more frequent testing schedule if it is determined to be necessary. No device shall be placed back in service unless it is functioning as required. A report in a form acceptable to the City shall be filed with the City each time a device is tested, relocated, or repaired. These devices shall be serviced, overhauled, or replaced whenever they are found to be defective and all costs of testing, repair, and maintenance shall be borne by the water customer.
b. The City will notify affected customers by mail when annual testing of a device is needed and also supply customers with the necessary forms which must be filled out each time a device is tested or repaired.

4. Backflow Prevention Device Removal. Approval must be obtained from the City before a backflow prevention device is removed, relocated, or replaced. a. Removal. The use of a device may be discontinued and the device removed from service upon presentation of sufficient evidence to the City to verify that a hazard no longer exists or is not likely to be created in the future;
b. Relocation. A device may be relocated following confirmation by the City that the relocation will continue to provide the required protection and satisfy installation requirements. A retest will be required following the relocation of the device;
c. Repair. A device may be removed for repair; provided the water use is either discontinued until repair is completed and the device is returned to service, or the service connection is equipped with other backflow protection approved by the City. A retest will be required following the repair of the device; and
ORDINANCE NO. 1201
June 10, 2025; Page 7
d. Replacement. A device may be removed and replaced provided the water use is discontinued until the replacement device is installed. All replacement devices must be approved by the City and must be commensurate with the degree of hazard involved.

D. User Supervisor. At each premises where it is necessary, in the opinion of the City, a user supervisor shall be designated by and at the expense of the water customer. This user supervisor shall be responsible for the monitoring of the backflow prevention devices and for avoidance of cross-connections. In the event of contamination or pollution of the drinking water system due to a crossconnection on the premises, the City shall be promptly notified by the user supervisor so that appropriate measures may be taken to overcome the contamination. The water customer shall inform the City of the user supervisor's identity on, as a minimum, an annual basis and whenever a change occurs.

E. Administrative Procedures.

1. Water System Survey.
a. The City shall review all requests for new services to determine if backflow protection is needed. Plans and specifications must be submitted to the City upon request for review of possible crossconnection hazards as a condition of service for new service connections. If it is determined that a backflow prevention device is necessary to protect the public water system, the required device must be installed before service will be granted.
b. The City shall discontinue service of water to any water user if a backflow prevention assembly required by this Chapter is not installed, correctly tested, and maintained, or if it is found that a backflow preventer assembly has been removed, by-passed, or if an unprotected cross-connection exists on the premises. Service will not be restored until such conditions or defects are corrected.
c. The water user’s system shall be open for Hazard Assessments at all reasonable times to authorized representatives of the City to determine whether cross-connections or other structural or sanitary hazards, including violations of these regulations, exist. When such a condition becomes known, the City shall deny or immediately discontinue service to the water user by providing for a physical break in service line until the water user has corrected the condition(s) or defect(s) in conformance with applicable State laws and the City’s Program. d. The City may, at its discretion, require a reinspection for crossconnection hazards of any premises to which it serves water. The City will transmit a written notice requesting an inspection appointment to each affected water customer. Any customer which cannot or will not allow an on-premises inspection of their piping system shall be required to install the backflow prevention device the City considers necessary.

ORDINANCE NO. 1201
June 10, 2025; Page 8

2. Customer Notification—Device Installation.
a. The City will notify the water customer of the survey findings, listing corrective action to be taken if required. The type of backflow preventer required shall meet the minimum requirements set forth in Table 1 above, but the survey’s listed corrective actions may require a more protective backflow preventer on a case by case basis depending upon the degree of hazard, actual or potential, or as otherwise specified in this Chapter.
b. The City recognizes the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s authority over fire protection systems and will not override its decisions unless a customer’s fire protection system is specifically designed to accommodate the pressure drop associated with a Reduced Pressure device. Since fire protection systems are approved and regulated by the Fire Department, any modifications to these systems fall outside the City’s jurisdiction. However, in the interest of public health and water quality protection, the City will strongly advise customers against adding chemicals to their fire protection systems.
c. The City’s water system shall be protected by an approved air-gap separation or reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly at the service connection on any premises where there is a high-hazard connection, as specified in Appendix D of the CCCPH.
d. The City’s water system shall be protected against backflow from the premises by the installation of a backflow prevention assembly in the service line on any premises where security requirements or other prohibitions or restrictions render it impossible or impractical to make conduct a cross-connection hazard assessment. In this case, the City will likewise require maximum protection, meaning an approved air-gap separation or an approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly that shall be installed in each service to the premises.
f. Devices will not require retrofitting in existing systems with a single detector check valve provided that the check valve is tested in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (“NFPA”) 25 requirements, does not require repair or replacement, and does not otherwise create a risk to public health. If the existing single detector check does not meet NFPA 25 requirements or requires repair or replacement, a minimum DC protection shall be installed and brought above grade. New customers are required to upgrade the backflow protection to current standards prior to water service being provided.

Notwithstanding this provision, installations that create a risk to public health will require retrofit.

ORDINANCE NO. 1201
June 10, 2025; Page 9
g. The City must ensure its distribution system is protected with no less than DC protection for a user premises with a fire protection system within ten years of adoption of the CCCPH.

3. Customer Notification—Testing and Maintenance.
a. The City will notify each affected water user when it is time for the backflow prevention device installed on their service connection to be tested. This written first notice shall provide the water customer 40 calendar days to have the device tested and submit results to the City. b. A second notice shall be sent to each water customer who does not have their backflow prevention device tested as prescribed in the first notice within the 40 calendar day period allowed. The second notice will give the water customer a 20 calendar day period to have his or her backflow prevention device tested.
c. A third and final notice will be given within a 10 calendar day period.

F. Water Service Termination. When the City encounters water uses that represent a clear and immediate hazard to the potable water supply that cannot be immediately abated, the City shall institute the procedure for discontinuing the City water service.

1. Basis for Termination. Conditions or water uses that create a basis for water service termination shall include, but are not limited to, the following items:
a. Refusal to install required backflow prevention device, b. Refusal for inspection of water use on the premises, c. Refusal to test a backflow prevention device,
d. Refusal to repair a faulty backflow prevention device, e. Refusal to replace a faulty backflow prevention device, f. Direct or indirect connection between the public water system and a sewer line,
g. Unprotected direct or indirect connection between the public water system and a system or equipment containing contaminants, h. Unprotected direct or indirect connection between the public water system and an auxiliary water system,
i. A situation which presents an immediate health hazard to the public water system.

2. Water Service Termination Procedures. To terminate water service, the City will take the following steps:

ORDINANCE NO. 1201
June 10, 2025; Page 10
a. The City shall provide reasonable notice to the customer in writing specifying the corrective action needed and the time period in which it must be done, as well as an opportunity for a hearing on the necessity for such termination where there is a non-immediate hazard to the City water system.
b. While the City will make reasonable efforts to advise the water user of intent to terminate water services where there exists an immediate health hazard to the public water system, the City may summarily terminate water service without prior notice in extenuating circumstances involving actual high hazard cross-connection control premises, as specified in Appendix D of the CCCPH, or other premises that require backflow protection provided by an air gap or a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly identified during a hazard assessment, which pose a significant and immediate threat to the potable water supply.
c. If no corrective action is taken by the deadline, the City may terminate water service and lock the service valve. The water service will remain inactive until correction of violations has been approved by the City. d. The termination of water service due to non-compliance shall be subject to the City’s Delinquent Water Tagging/Shut-Off Reconnection fee.

3. Enforcement. The City has the authority to take corrective actions if a water user fails to comply with these provisions regarding the installation, inspection, field testing, or maintenance of required backflow prevention assemblies. Failure to install or adequately maintain cross-connection control constitutes a threat to the potable water supply.” SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.

The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Ordinance be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 3. CEQA. This Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines and is not a project which has the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

SUBJECT: TRASH RATE SUBSIDY FOR THE RESIDENTIAL FOOD WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026

BACKGROUND
The City has utilized an exclusive franchise agreement for over 40 years with CalMet Services (CalMet), which included regularly scheduled collection and processing of trash, recyclables, organic waste, and household services such as bulky item pick-up. Over the years, the franchise agreement and services have evolved through various contract amendments, restated agreements, and, most recently, in 2022, an assignment of the contract from CalMet to Athens Services (Athens).

On June 4, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to Amend and Restate the Exclusive Franchise Agreement with Athens Services (Athens) to continue to provide exclusive services for collection, disposal, and recycling of solid waste for single-family, multi-family, commercial, and roll-off collection services. In addition, Amendment No. 2 provided the ability for Athens to fully implement the City’s organic waste collection program and ensure compliance with the requirements stipulated within Senate Bill (SB) 1383.

As defined by SB 1383, all Californians including businesses, residents, and multi-family residences are mandated to separate organic waste (i.e., food scraps, yard trimmings, certain compostable goods) from trash and plastic recycling, and subscribe to organic waste collection services. As a result of this State mandate, the City worked closely with Athens to effectively implement the organic waste program, starting with residential customers through the Residential Food Waste Recycling Program (Residential Program). The program then expanded its reach to all commercial customers through voluntary and auto-enrollment strategies.

As prescribed, the City’s solid waste franchise agreement with Athens also authorizes annual rate adjustments for both residential and commercial customers. As such, Amendment No. 2 included a delineated rate adjustment schedule through fiscal year 2032, that is defined by the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) and reflects costs associated with providing recycling and waste reduction programs to Paramount residents and businesses. As currently structured, rate adjustments automatically go into effect in July of every year and do not require annual approval.

Agenda Report June 10, 2025
SUBSIDY FOR RESIDENTIAL FOOD WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAM Page 2

DISCUSSION
Understanding the continued financial challenges faced within our community after the COVID-19 pandemic, City Council has approved the use of a portion of Assembly Bill (AB) 939 funds (recycling funds) to cover costs for a residential subsidy for several years.

On one occasion, the City has also been able to utilize Senate Bill (SB) 1383 grant funding towards this cost.

The intent of this subsidy was to help offset costs for residents during the implementation of the Residential Program, while preventing any delays in the City’s ability to implement SB 1383 regulations. The subsidy amount is currently $1.00 per month per residential account, lowering the rate from $26.07 to $25.07 per month.

It is important to note that this subsidy was intended to provide residents with temporary relief during the rollout of the Residential Program, with the expectation that it would be gradually phased out. Therefore, staff is seeking City Council approval of a gradual phase out of the residential subsidy amount from the current $1.00 per month to $0.50 per month per residential account for this upcoming fiscal year, July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.

This would be the final subsidy provided by the City. With this last subsidy in place, residents will see a 7% increase in their service costs bringing the monthly cost for service from $25.07 to $26.82.

Given that this will be the final subsidy for residential customers, there will be no additional subsidy applied during the next rate adjustment scheduled for July 1, 2026, or thereafter.

FISCAL IMPACT
AB 939 funds, generated through fees on waste disposal, are distributed based on each jurisdiction’s waste disposal volume and/or population. From this fund, the City receives an allocation that can be utilized towards supporting waste diversion and recycling programs. Therefore, funding for this subsidy will utilize AB 939 funds, in an amount not to exceed $42,000 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 5: Attractive and WellMaintained Infrastructure - Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and the attractiveness of the community.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL PRIORITIES EXPENDITURE PLAN

BACKGROUND
At its meeting on March 15, 2022, the City Council approved the City’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Project Expenditure Plan that encumbered $18,895,185 in ARPA funding for eligible community programs and projects. Of the $18.9 million in ARPA funding allocated to the City of Paramount, $1.5 million was reserved for community priorities. At the November 2, 2023, City Council meeting, the City Council approved a City Council Priorities Expenditure Plan that involved public safety, health education, education assistance, and small business assistance community projects, including an unassigned balance within the expenditure plan.

DISCUSSION
As has been explained in past presentations to the City Council, the City may need to make periodic expenditure plan adjustments to shift expenditures to meet City priorities.

Staff recently analyzed the City Council Priorities Expenditure Plan to determine if any funding amounts needed adjustments. In doing so, staff identified that the baseball field renovation project at Paramount Park, which was originally budgeted at $300,000, is anticipated to cost $150,000.

Additionally, a review of the Business Security Rebate program, originally budgeted at $193,000, has shown low participation even following extensive public outreach efforts through social media outlets and e-blast newsletters. Since November 2023, the Public Safety Department has received only three applications. Given those findings, staff proposes adjusting the budgeted amount of the baseball renovation project to $150,000 to match the anticipated cost and adjusting the Business Security Rebate Program to $61,000. The budget adjustment to the Business Security Rebate Program would still provide for 30 rebates for our business community at approximately $2,000. If approved, these adjustments would then increase the unassigned balance of the City Council Priorities Expenditure Plan to $437,004.

Agenda Report June 10, 2025
AMENDMENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL PRIORITIES EXPENDITURE PLAN Page 2 With $437,004 designated as unassigned within the City Council Priorities Expenditure Plan, staff proposes to allocate that unassigned balance to help secure necessary funding for the following capital improvement projects:
• Off-site Improvements for New Sprout and Panera Development (Paramount Gateway) – 15101 Paramount Boulevard
$123,000
A total amount of $400,000 is needed to provide the reimbursement for the off-site improvement work associated with this new commercial development. The FY 2024-25 budget includes $277,000 in 2010A bond proceeds for this project.

Approving the proposed reallocation of $123,000 would fulfill the funding need for this project.
• Civic Center Fountain Upgrade Project
$314,004
A total amount of $710,000 is needed to complete the construction improvement at the Civic Center Fountains, currently underway. The FY 2024-25 budget includes $1,200,000 in General Funds for this project. Approving the proposed reallocation of $314,004 would fulfill the funding need for this project.

SUBJECT: WORLD ENERGY/ALTAIR COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT

YEAR THREE SPENDING PLAN

BACKGROUND
This item is a request for approval for the Year Three spending plan for the World Energy/AltAir Community Benefits Agreement (CBA).

In April 2022, the City Council approved the World Energy/AltAir refinery conversion project (an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 757) to allow for the increased production of renewable jet and diesel fuel and ending the processing of petroleum-based products at the refinery. Approval of the refinery conversion project included a minimum five-year Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) with World Energy/AltAir contributing up to $1 million per year.

On March 28, 2023, the City and AltAir Paramount, LLC formalized the CBA. The agreement includes a provision that sales tax generated from the Paramount facility be offset from the annual $1 million contribution. This point-of-sale offset is defined as an amount equal to the total sales tax received by the City as a direct result of AltAir designating the City as AltAir’s point of sale for fuel sales.

The Finance Department conservatively estimates an offset of $300,000 each year. As such, the $1 million contribution would be reduced to $700,000.

FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget Highlights
General Fund Proposed Budget
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and accounts for all unrestricted revenues. For FY 2025-26, the proposed General Fund budget is projected to have a $888,088 surplus, which includes $47.1 million in revenues and $47.3 million in expenditures. To support operating expenditures, the City utilizes a one-time transfer of $800,000 from the Retiree Benefit Reserve and $202,000 from the Special Project Reserve.

Additionally, to finance capital improvement projects, the City will transfer $1.4 million from the General Fund’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) reserve to the Capital Project Fund.

Due to delays in the opening of Well 16, the General Fund will provide a cash loan of $850,000 to the Water Fund in FY 2025–26 to ensure sufficient working capital. This represents the third loan from the General Fund to the Water Fund. The loan will be funded through the use of the General Fund’s available fund balance.

Agenda Report June 10, 2025
RESOLUTION NO. 25:020 – FY 2025-2026 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 3 General Fund Revenues/Sources
During FY 2025-26, General Fund revenues (excluding transfers) are projected to total $47.1 million, reflecting a 1.5% increase over the estimated $46.0 million in FY 2024-25.

Key revenue increases over prior year are anticipated in Property Tax (9.6% or $283,000), Vehicle License Fee (VLF) (2.9% or 256,000), Utility Users Tax (UUT) (4.5% or $214,000), Business Tax (11.2% or $283,000), and other miscellaneous revenues (167.5% or $444,000). These gains are partially offset by projected declines in Franchise Tax (-4.8% or $114,000), Development User Fees (-17.9% or $167,000), and interest earnings from the use of City property (12.9% or $229,000). Below is additional detail on our three largest revenue sources, which together represent over 70% of total General Fund revenues:
• Sales tax & Transactions & Use Tax (Measure Y) together represent 40% of the total General Fund revenue, making them the largest revenue sources. In FY 2022-23, Sale tax peaked at $12.2 million. However, this was followed by two consecutive years of decline, with revenue dropping to $10.9 million in FY 2024- 25, and remaining flat in FY 2025-26. To strengthen the City’s revenue base, an additional Transaction & Use Tax (Measure Y) was implemented in FY 2020-21.

This measure significantly broadened the City’s revenue sources, generating more than $7 million annually. Measure Y revenues peaked at $8.5 million in FY 2023- 24, followed by a decline to $7.7 million in both FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26. • Property Tax - Property Tax revenue is projected to grow by 9.6%, or $283,000, in FY 2025-26. This increase is driven by stable property values, reassessments, and modest new development activity.
• Vehicle License Fee (VLF), also called the Property Tax In Lieu of VLF, increases annually in proportion to the growth in gross assessed valuation in the City’s property tax district. For FY 2025-26, VLF revenue is projected to increase by

2.89% ($9,140,819), making it the second largest General Fund revenue source. • Utility Users Tax - UUT revenues are forecasted to increase by 4.5% ($214,000) in FY 2025-26. This growth reflects consistent utility consumption patterns and increases to rate structures across electric, gas, water, and telecommunications services.
• Business License Tax revenue is projected to increase by 28% ($900,000) for FY 25-26 and incrementally for the preceding fiscal years. In November 2024, Paramount voters passed Measure LR, which amended the tax structure for business license taxes from an employee-based tax structure to a gross receipts tax structure. For 2025-26, a tax discount phase-in provision has been incorporated into the new tax structure to assist businesses with any high tax burdens only for calendar year 2025. Given the phase-in provision for calendar year 2025, business license tax revenue is expected to grow after FY 2025-26.

General Fund Expenditures
General Fund expenditures are expected to total approximately $48.6 million in FY 2025-

26. This represents a decrease of about $114,431 or 0.2% compared to the estimated budget of $48.7 million for FY 2024-25. The slight reduction in expenditures is primarily due to the completion of various one-time projects from prior years. However, this decrease is partially offset by rising costs in several key areas, including: cost of living adjustment (COLA); market adjustments for certain classifications that resulted from the Class and Compensation Study; general rise in labor related costs (CalPERS contributions, step increase, health care increases, and minimum wage increases); inflation driven increase in maintenance and operations as well as other recommended operating needs previously mentioned this report.

Additionally, the proposed budget also includes funding for several organizational needs.

These include:
• Garage door replacement program
• Art Mural at Spane Park
• Funding for IT virtual network refresh
• Funding for Bell shelter contract
• Funding for replacements of equipment and vehicles
• Funding for additional Sheriff Contract costs
The proposed personnel-related adjustments are included in the Salaries, Positions, and Employee Benefits section below.

City’s General Fund Revenue and Expenditure Outlook
Agenda Report June 10, 2025
RESOLUTION NO. 25:020 – FY 2025-2026 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 6 The City’s General Fund revenue forecast is based on ten years of historical data, categorized by revenue types that can be reasonably projected together. The forecast assumes annual revenue growth of 1% to 3%, depending on the source.

On the expenditure side, projections incorporate cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) and general inflationary impacts of 2% to 3% per year, with health insurance costs projected to rise at a higher rate of 6% annually. These projections assume that no major changes will occur in the broader economic landscape.

Based on these reasonable assumptions, as outlined by the consultant, the City’s expenditure growth is expected to outpace revenue growth over the long term. Without corrective measures, this imbalance points to a structural deficit in the future.

In light of this forecast, it is essential to initiate discussions and explore options to reassess and enhance our revenue structure. Strategic actions will be necessary to ensure the City can sustainably fund its growing expenditure obligations and maintain long-term fiscal health.

Capital Projects Fund
For FY 2025-26, the Proposed Capital Project Fund is projected to have a $316,883 deficit, with anticipated revenues of $2.3 million and expenditures of $2.7 million.

Revenues include a $1.4 million transfer from the General Fund’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) reserve. Transfers between the General Fund and its component Capital Projects (CP) Fund will occur as needed to replenish the CP fund.

Special Revenue Fund
For FY 2025–26, the Proposed Special Revenue Funds are projected to have a net surplus of $738,050. Revenues are projected at $34.4 million, while operating and capital project expenditures total $33.6 million. The surplus is allocated to support future capital project costs.

Water Fund Proposed Budget and Equipment Replacement Fund The Proposed FY 2025–26 Budget is projected to result in a net surplus of $300,500.

Revenues are estimated at $10.7 million, while total operating and capital improvement expenditures are projected at $10.4 million.

The City has been purchasing imported water, which has become increasingly expensive in recent years. The anticipated opening of Well 16 is expected to help reduce water costs by providing a more affordable local supply. However, delays in bringing Well 16 online have contributed to a reduced fund balance in the Water Fund and have resulted in a structural deficit that has persisted year over year. As a result, for FY 2023–24, FY 2024– 25, and FY 2025–26, the Water Fund received a cash loan of $850,000 per fiscal year from the General Fund to ensure adequate working capital and maintain compliance with Agenda Report June 10, 2025
RESOLUTION NO. 25:020 – FY 2025-2026 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 7 debt covenant requirements. Well 16 is now anticipated to come online at the beginning of FY 2025–26, which is expected to reduce water costs by approximately $2 million and help resolve the structural deficit. Further discussion and review of water operations will be necessary to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the Water Fund.

Debt Service Fund
This fund accounts for the pension obligation bond (POB) that was issued in November 2021 when the borrowing rate was favorably low. The payment of principal and interest totals $1,772,000 for FY 2026. In addition to the POB debt, the City has also entered into loan agreements to support its water utility infrastructure. In May 2010, loan Agreement was executed between the City of Paramount and the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (“I-Bank”) to construct a water well and other water treatment facilities. The payment of principal and interest totals $294,894.00 for FY 2026.

In May 2018, a loan agreement was executed between the City of Paramount and the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (“I-Bank”) to construct a water well and other water treatment facilities. The payment of principal and interest totals $347,814.00 for FY 2026. In December 2023, the City Council approved the lease/loan Agreement to purchase and install Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meters.

The payment of principal and interest totals $896,983.00 for FY 2026.

Payment for debt service is allocated to the various departmental budgets in the General Fund, Water Fund and certain long-term grant funds.

11 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
The City continues to take proactive steps to engage the community through the City’s website, social media platforms, public meetings, and direct mailings with the intent to inform, build trust, educate, and engage the Community on the programs and services the City provides. An example of such outreach is the Budget at a Glance posted on the City Website, which highlights the funding sources used to support those services.

Despite economic uncertainty and persistent inflation, the City has experienced strong revenue growth since FY 2021 primarily due to the implementation of the additional Transaction Use tax (Measure Y), which broadened the City’s revenue base and added over $7.0 million. General Fund revenues averaged approximately $39 million in FY21 and FY22. As COVID-19 restrictions were gradually lifted, the City experienced another wave of growth, with General Fund revenues averaging around $46 million annually from FY 2023 through FY 2025.

Looking ahead, projections from the Congressional Budget Office indicate a slowing economy in 2026. The global economic and financial markets are expected to experience increased volatility in the coming year. As a result, General Fund revenues are projected to remain flat at approximately $46 million for FY 2025–26. Staff will closely monitor financial conditions and, if significant changes occur in the economic landscape, will adjust the FY 2025–26 budget accordingly during the mid-year review.

With our conservative and fiscally responsible spending habits, and with the City Council’s support, I am pleased with our efforts to reach our strategic outcome of economic health.

FY 2025-26 PROPOSED BUDGET
On May 20, 2025, City staff introduced the proposed FY 2025-26 budget to the City Council and the public. For FY 2025-26, total operating expenditures, capital improvement projects, and transfers-out are projected at $107.8 million across all funds. Revenues, transfers-in, and adjustments are estimated at $102.4 million, resulting in a projected shortfall of $5.4 million. The shortfall is attributed to several factors, which are discussed in detail within the respective fund sections that follow.

The following table provides an overall summary of the City's FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget and fund balances.
12 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
General Fund – The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and accounts for all unrestricted revenues. For FY 2025-26, the proposed General Fund budget is projected to have a $888,088 surplus, which includes $47.1 million in revenues and $47.3 million in expenditures. To support operating expenditures, the City utilizes a one-time transfer of $800,000 from the Retiree Benefit Reserve and $202,000 from the Special Project Reserve.

Additionally, to finance capital improvement projects, the City will transfer $1.4 million from the General Fund’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) reserve to the Capital Project Fund.

Due to delays in the opening of Well 16, the General Fund will provide a cash loan of $850,000 to the Water Fund in FY 2025–26 to ensure sufficient working capital. This represents the third loan from the General Fund to the Water Fund. The loan will be funded through the use of the General Fund’s available fund balance.

Capital Project Fund – For FY 2025-26, the Proposed Capital Project Fund is projected to have a $316,883 deficit, with anticipated revenues of $2.3 million and expenditures of $2.7 million.

Revenues include a $1.4 million transfer from the General Fund’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) reserve. Transfers between the General Fund and its component Capital Projects (CP) Fund will occur as needed to replenish the CP fund.

Special Revenue Funds - For FY 2025–26, the Proposed Special Revenue Funds are projected to have a net surplus of $738,050. Revenues are projected at $34.4 million, while operating and capital project expenditures total $33.6 million. The surplus is allocated to support future capital project costs.

Water Fund and Equipment Replacement Fund - The Proposed FY 2025–26 Budget is projected to result in a net surplus of $300,500. Revenues are estimated at $10.7 million, while total operating and capital improvement expenditures are projected at $10.4 million.

The City has been purchasing imported water, which has become increasingly expensive in recent years. The anticipated opening of Well 16 is expected to help reduce water costs by providing a more affordable local supply. However, delays in bringing Well 16 online have contributed to a reduced fund balance in the Water Fund and have resulted in a structural 13 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
deficit that has persisted year over year. As a result, for FY 2023–24, FY 2024–25, and FY 2025–26, the Water Fund received a cash loan of $850,000 per fiscal year from the General Fund to ensure adequate working capital and maintain compliance with debt covenant requirements. Well 16 is now anticipated to come online at the beginning of FY 2025–26, which is expected to reduce water costs by approximately $2 million and help resolve the structural deficit. Further discussion and review of water operations will be necessary to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the Water Fund.

Debt Service Fund – This fund accounts for the pension obligation bond that was issued in November 2021 when the borrowing rate was favorably low. The payment of principal and interest totals $1,772,000 for FY 2026. Payment for debt service is allocated to the various departmental budgets in the General Fund, Water Fund and certain long-term grant funds.

FUND BALANCE POLICY
The table below shows the estimated fund balance reserves for the General Fund as of June 30 of each Fiscal Year.

In May 2025, the City Council adopted a comprehensive fund balance policy that provides greater protection and safekeeping of public funds. The fund balance policy categorizes unassigned fund balance into various designations and requires the City Council’s or City Manager’s approval for use. The new fund balance policy creates a hierarchy based on the City’s spending constraints. We believe that the policy will reduce financial risk and improve financial reporting for the City.

The City strives to maintain target reserve levels in accordance with its Reserve Policy.

Currently, the General Fund reserve has a shortfall of $3.5 million, the Emergency and Economic Uncertainty Reserve is below its target by $519,241, and the Retiree Benefit Obligations Reserve is short of its target by $12.1 million. These shortfalls are primarily driven by increases in operational revenues due to economic growth and inflation, which have, in turn, led to higher expenditures. Cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), inflationary impacts, expanded programs and added projects have all contributed to this growth in spending. As expenditures increase, the corresponding reserve targets also increase, resulting in a wider gap between actual balances and policy goals.

Staff recommends replenishing the General Fund and Emergency and Economic Uncertainty reserves to their target levels by utilizing any available year-end surplus and identifying feasible one-time revenue sources.

Addressing the significant underfunding of the Retiree Benefit Obligations Reserve will require a comprehensive review. Staff will continue to monitor this reserve and explore alternative options for its long-term funding.

EMPLOYMENT LEVELS, SALARIES, AND BENEFITS
Since the significant revenue losses caused by the Great Recession in 2008 and the State’s elimination of Redevelopment Agencies in 2012, the City has continued to maintain lean staffing levels. With revenue stabilization in FY 2024–25, the City restored staffing levels to deliver effective services. The City’s workforce increased from 93 to 97 authorized fulltime positions to support the growing workload across various departments. In FY 2025– 26, full-time staffing decreased slightly from 97 to 96 positions, and part-time hours were reduced from 218,766 to 156,729. This reduction in part-time hours is primarily due to the transition of the After School Education and Safety Grant for the Success Through Academics and Recreation (STAR) program to the School District. The table below illustrates the City’s historical staffing levels.

Based on the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI), which reflects general living expenses, Costof-Living Adjustments (COLA) are a key tool for maintaining competitiveness with regional living expenses and attracting a high-quality workforce. As of February 2025, the CPI for the Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim area rose by 3.1%. The increase in CPI combined with current below-market pay ranges for many positions, we recommend a 3.25% COLA for all employees and 3.11% for the City Manager, which is reflected in the department budget These adjustments are reflected in the departmental budgets and are proposed to take effect in the first pay period that includes July 1, 2025:
 3.11% COLA for City Manager per contract amendment (estimate cost: $12,800).  3.25% COLA for all Full-time employees (estimate cost: $325,000).  3.25% COLA for all Part-time employees (estimate cost: $115,000)  Authorized positions: net decrease of one (1) position. o City Attorney (decrease - contracted)
Additionally, included in the FY 2025-26 budget, we propose bringing all employees who are currently more than 15% below market pay up to within 15% of market levels. Members of the Executive Team—including the Assistant City Manager, Department Directors, City Clerk, and Assistant Directors—will receive a 5% market rate adjustment (estimate cost:
$159,200).

Listing of Full-Time employees with 15% below market will be adjusted to at least 15%:
(estimate cost: $87,000)
 Water Superintendent
 Public Works Operations Manager
 Community Services Manager
 Human Resources Manager
 Financial Services Manager
 Community Services Officer Supervisor
 Associate Planner

Listing of Part-Time employees with 15% below market will be adjusted to at least 15%:
(estimate cost: $61,100)
 Office Assistant – reclassified to Administrative Aide  HR Assistant
 Recreation Assistant
 Finance Assistant
 Water Operator Aide
 Recreation Coordinator
The estimated cost of the proposed COLA for all employees is approximately $453,000, while the market adjustments are projected to cost about $307,000. In conjunction with these compensation changes, the City has also enhanced certain employee benefits, representing an additional cost of approximately $71,000 as follows:

Full-Time Employees:
 457(b) match up to $700 (estimate cost: $64,500 FY 2025-26).  Reassignment of bilingual skill pay tiers for eligible positions (estimate cost: $2,000).

Part-Time Employees:
 457(b) match up to $400 per fiscal year for employees with 5+ years of service. (estimate cost: $4,000 FY 2025-26).

Benefit enhancements included the following that don’t have a fiscal impact to the City Budget:
 Executive leave increases from 40 hours to 60 hours per year (expires annually).  New Management leave of 40 hours (expires annually).
 Allow part-time employees to rollover up to 20 hours of unused sick leave at the beginning of the fiscal year.

DEPARTMENTAL HIGHLIGHTS
The chart below shows the estimated expenditures for the City's operations by department. This chart excludes Non-Departmental, because it only represents transfers out. The chart also excludes Capital Improvement Projects. The total proposed operating budget across all funds, excluding capital improvement expenditures, is $78.2 million. The following sections will describe some of the departmental highlights and provide insight into the FY 2025-26 operating budget.
17 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
As mentioned above, we continue to address the needs and expectations of our community while also proposing numerous capital improvement projects. This budget continues to retain most of the traditional municipal services, programs, and events our residents and businesses have come to expect, appreciate, and enjoy.

Public Safety
Our Public Safety Department, which includes Administration and five divisions: Sworn Patrol Services, Non-Sworn Services, Code Enforcement, Support Services, and Community Preservation, remains the City’s largest operating department. The total operating budget for this department is approximately $18.9 million, roughly $951,400 more than the previous FY 2024-25 budget. This increase is primarily due to the significant and continuous rise in sworn patrol costs from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD). The proposed budget includes funds to carry out the City’s historically tough stance on crime and maintain a safe environment via professional and community-based law enforcement and public safety services.

The Sworn Patrol Services Division funds the contract for law enforcement personnel from LASD for patrol units, contractual services, and equipment, for the day-to-day operations of field patrol. The budgeted allocation for sworn services is approximately $11.7 million for FY 2025-26. We anticipate a rate increase of 4.5% for Deputy Sheriff services. It is important to note that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has not yet finalized 18 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
its annual rates for the other sworn personnel positions. The liability surcharge on Sheriff’s services will increase to 13% (from 12.5% in the prior year) of our total contract cost. These increases are based on the review of the annual actuary study, the pro forma analysis, and the current financial condition of the liability trust fund.

We will continue to fund critical supplemental law enforcement components fully, including five Special Assignment Officers (SAOs), a Detective Specialist, and Community Service Officers (CSOs). Due to the program’s high success, we will also continue to fund the Youth Activities League (YAL), which includes the cost of one Special Assignment Officer (SAO). Los Angeles County supplements three-fourths (¾) of the total annual cost with liability for the YAL SAO. The City will fund one-fourth (¼) of the yearly liability cost.

Moreover, traffic enforcement, street racing enforcement, and crime suppression patrols will continue to form an integral component of our law enforcement deployment efforts throughout the year. By allocating funds for a dedicated Traffic Motor Deputy and devoting overtime to address these public safety concerns, law enforcement will continue to identify problems and optimize enforcement efforts to deter egregious violations and create a safer environment for the community.

Public safety will continue to leverage new technology to combat illegal street racing as part of our enforcement efforts. Last year, we revised our Street Racing Ordinance to include "Reckless Driving." This amendment allows law enforcement officials to obtain warrants to seize vehicles involved in this violation. This is particularly helpful in situations where immediate apprehension is not possible, such as when individuals leave the scene or obstruct law enforcement. This year, we have allocated $73,000 to operate 20 license plate readers and six intersection surveillance cameras. These technologies provide law enforcement with live feeds and recorded data transmitted in real-time. This proprietary technology acts as a cost-effective force multiplier, guiding deputies to where crimes are occurring and offering invaluable investigative leads after criminal activity.

Currently, local municipalities that rely on contracts with the LASD face significant challenges in enhancing public safety due to the County’s Contract Growth Moratorium.

This moratorium restricts Paramount from adding LASD resources, such as additional deputies, that could be effectively deployed for proactive crime prevention. Given these limitations, the City will continue to contract private security to bolster neighborhood safety. For FY 2025-26, the City intends to continue the agreement with Southwest Patrol Inc. for $519,428. This agreement includes Neighborhood Patrol Services, Park Supervision Services, Metal Detector Screening Services, and a part-time dedicated Supervisor. The security personnel will systematically patrol the entire City in a grid pattern, effectively responding to emerging crime trends and significantly improving the sense of safety and security within our community.

We will continue our partnership with the City of Lakewood to offset the total cost of the Deputy District Attorney as part of the Community Prosecutor Program. This cost-sharing arrangement is budgeted at $205,150 per city. The Deputy District Attorney serves as a liaison with court officials and ensures that the courts and prosecuting attorneys know the City’s position regarding specific cases. The Deputy District Attorney also assists the City 19 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
with quality-of-life issues, working with property owners to resolve problems and abate nuisances.

Public Safety staff reviewed our longstanding crossing guard services contract with All City Management Services, Inc. (ACMS). The key elements for FY 2025-26 include the hourly rate remaining at $31.05 and ACMS providing 13,095 hours of crossing guard protection at a cost of $406,600. The additional cost of $25,800 of this agreement will be covered by the Paramount Unified School District through a memorandum of understanding established between the two agencies.

The Southeast Area Animal Control Authority (SEAACA) improves the level of animal service, care, and education provided to our region. For FY 2025-26, SEAACA’s contract reflects a preliminary budget increase of 5%. This increases the annual agreement to $412,000, with a total administrative cost of $10,000. The City will also conduct a partial licensing canvass this year for $18,000 to ensure that pet owners abide by animal licensing requirements.

We are committed to funding integral public safety programs that make a meaningful contribution to the quality of life in our community. The Community Preservation Division manages a wide range of programs that allow us to foster community investment in public safety. In FY 2024-25, the Public Safety Department provided temporary housing for 50 homeless individuals at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. Through our PLHA Rental Assistance Program, 21 individuals were able to secure permanent housing in shared living facilities, while 15 households obtained or maintained permanent residences in dedicated apartment units. Additionally, Family Promise of Los Angeles provided services to 55 displaced families and housed six more households. For the upcoming fiscal year, we have allocated $584,000 to secure 20 dedicated beds at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. An additional $217,000 has been designated for the HOME-ARP Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program, and $375,400 of HOME-ARP funding will be used by Family Promise of Los Angeles for homeless prevention services for families in Paramount.

Community engagement remains an important collaborative process that increases the visibility and understanding of public safety issues, empowering communities to help guide decisions that affect their lives, neighborhoods, and communities. For Fiscal year 2025-26, the Public Safety Department is continuing this community engagement through our impactful Neighborhood Watch and Business Watch programs, as well as through our community outreach events like the Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness Expo and National Night Out.

Community Services
This department includes Administration and nine divisions: Parks and Playgrounds, Aquatics, Sports, Instructional Classes, Facilities, the Paramount Education Partnership (PEP), the Senior Services, and Community Transportation Programs. The total budget for the department is $5.8 million, representing 8.4% of the City’s total operating budget. This budget has a decrease of $2.2 million from the prior fiscal year budget estimate. The 20 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
decrease in budget is primarily due to the STAR After School Program no longer being operated by the City. As a result, grant funding for the program has been removed from the department’s budget.

The budget also includes various sports programs, as well as aquatics services with Premier Aquatics, and the transit program operated by Long Beach Transit for fixed-route and college-bound bus services. In addition, it includes a contract with Fiesta Taxi/Ride Yellow for point-to-point transit services for our elderly and disabled communities. The expansion of these programs was also made possible by a funding source from the World Energy Community Benefits Agreement of $217,000. In addition, $28,000 funded by the Equipment Replacement Fund, was budgeted to replace outdated and needed equipment for the sports programs and the Spane Park Learning Center.

This department provides and supports year-round community services that include youth sports, facility management, after-school care, homework help, summer day camp, swim lessons, recreational swim, instructional classes, senior programs, transit services, and special events. Returning this year is the Adaptive Recreation program for the special needs community and the 1660 Adult Recreation programming which includes sports, entertainment, and cultural activities. This fiscal year will also see the continuation of the Paramount on Wheels (POW) program and the Mariposa Learning Center Program. POW brings recreational opportunities to neighborhoods across the City. The Mariposa Learning Center is an after-school program that offers homework help, activities, and field trips.

In addition, the department also manages many successful City events throughout the year that include the Halloween Festival, Santa Train, and the 5k/1K Race and Health & Wellness Fair. Besides these extremely popular events, this budget contains funds for continuing this year’s Heritage Festival, the Haunted House Maze, the Día del Niño event in partnership with Tepic Sister Cities, and the Community Art Show. Additionally, this budget provides for the newly combined Santa’s Snowfest and Shopping Under the Lights special event and provides additional funding for improvements to the Tree Lighting Event.

The budget also allocates funding for the contract with Premier Aquatics for their second year providing aquatics services to the City. Premier Aquatics will continue overseeing critical aspects of our aquatic programs, which include lifeguarding, lifeguard training and certifications, swim lessons, and recreational swimming. The decision to continue the contract with Premier Aquatics supports not only the enhancement of water safety but also promotes physical wellness and customer service through aquatic activities. In addition to the Paramount Park Pool, the department is also responsible for managing all public facilities including those at Paramount Park, Progress Park, Spane Park, and the Clearwater Building.

Public Works
The Public Works Department includes seven non-enterprise divisions: Administration, Facility Maintenance, Landscape Maintenance, Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance, Road Maintenance, Engineering, and Sustainability. As our newest division, established in 21 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
FY2022-23, the Sustainability Division implements programs and activities designed to align with the City’s sustainability goals as described in the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP).

Excluding Water Operations and CIP’s, the FY 2025-26 budget for the Public Works Department is $15,219,800 which makes up 19.5% of the City’s total operating budget.

The increase from the prior year budget is partially related to the implementation of the state-mandated organics program, enhanced tree care programs, sufficient funding for sidewalk repairs citywide, and the replacement of vehicles that have surpassed their useful life. New this upcoming year is additional plantings utilizing our Special Projects Crew, established in the prior fiscal year. Additionally, we included funding for the replacement of our old bucket truck that will allow us to work safely and more efficiently.

The operating budget continues funding for routine maintenance operations. Staffing and supply levels have increased due to various factors including an increase in costs for general supplies and services, such as graffiti removal and general repairs. Contract services, which make up a significant part of the department’s service delivery capability, are at slightly higher service levels as the current year due to enhanced related services for landscape maintenance, tree maintenance, and hardscape services. The Engineering Division budget continues to reflect on-going consulting costs for technical engineering support services, including traffic engineering. We have continued to add sufficient funding for additional project management services through our engineering contract that will allow us to implement and construct projects from our robust Capital Improvement Program.

Water Operations
The Public Works Department also manages three divisions under the Water Enterprise fund, which include Water Production, Water Distribution, and Water Customer Service.

Water Enterprise is budgeted at $9.6 million , which is a decrease of $4.5 million due to the anticipated completion of the Well 16 project. This will allow us to revert back to pumping almost all potable water needs for the Paramount Municipal Water System. This budget also includes funding for system upgrades in order to integrate Well 16 programming into the overall water system operations. And new this year is the preparation of the State required Urban Water Management Plan for 2025, which is required to be updated every 5 years.

Planning and Building
This department, formerly the Planning Department, includes Administration (Planning Division) and is responsible for three other divisions: Development Services (Building and Safety Division), Residential Rehabilitation (Home Improvement Program), and Commercial Rehabilitation.

Following up on work from the previous fiscal year, the Planning and Building Department will continue multiple long-range planning and implementation efforts, including the 22 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
Clearwater Specific Plan, the Public Art Master Plan, Commercial Design Guidelines which include landscaping standards, and Residential Objective Design Standards. To improve the efficiency and convenience of Building and Safety services, the Planning and Building Department will continue improving services such as online construction plan checks and inspection reporting. For grant funding, the Planning and Building Department will continue administering the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) grant, which supports the Homebuyer Opportunity Program (downpayment assistance led by Planning and Building) and the Rental Assistance Program (led by Public Safety). Congressional community project funding in the amount of $1.0 million to repair and replace qualifying single-family home roofs to support solar panels from the previous year is now ready for implementation.

The FY 2025-26 budget for the Planning and Building Department is approximately $6.7 million, which accounts for 6.3% of the total City operating budget. The budget includes the first comprehensive General Plan update since 2007. For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the Planning and Building Department will expand the City’s “driveway expansion” pilot program, continue refurbishing fences and structures along alleys to complement planned alley improvements, and complete additional single-family and mobile home remodels through a reinvigorated Home Improvement Program. The department will also continue a historic preservation program with a historic narrative and a potential historic preservation ordinance. New this year is a Garage Door Replacement Program in which qualified properties with deteriorated garage doors will receive new aluminum roll-up garage doors. Additionally, the Planning and Building Department is the lead department for ensuring quality private development, construction, and community benefits for key projects such as the World Energy conversion, United Methodist housing project, Lindsay Lumber commercial redevelopment, and upcoming projects that could include a digital sign and another self-storage project.

In addition to the Roof Rebate Program, the Planning and Building Department will continue promoting sustainability through building design, solar installations, electric vehicle infrastructure, drought-tolerant landscaping, and bicycle infrastructure.

General Government
General Government includes City Council and Commissions, City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney, Community Promotion, Administrative Services, and Finance. The FY 2025- 26 operations for General Government are budgeted at $12.5 million and make up 16.0% of the City’s total operating budget. The budget increases by approximately $340,000 from the prior fiscal year budget mainly due to increases in Community promotion events.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
The revised capital improvement budget for FY 2024-25 is $58.1 million. The majority of these projects will be carried over from FY 2024-25 to FY 2025-26. The capital improvement budget for FY 2025-26 is $28.1 million.
23 City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
As always, the upcoming Capital Improvement Program provides for improvements to our arterial street corridors and neighborhood streets, continued design for several large infrastructure projects in the coming years, and projects that will improve and maintain our parks and City facilities. For our street projects, we are planning to repave Garfield Ave. from our northern City limits to Petterson Lane and resurface Orange Ave. from Cortland Ave. to Century Blvd. Other street improvements include the design of traffic signals for Alondra Blvd. and Minnesota Ave., as well as Garfield Ave. at Motz/Monroe St.

The Capital Improvement budget continues our robust efforts to improve our parks and public facilities and to handle vital maintenance needs. We will resurface basketball courts at various parks, replace the rubberized matting at Paramount Park, install shade sails at Dills Park for the playground equipment, and continue to research and develop potential park concept ideas.

New this year is the potential for additional median enhancements through a future bond measure that would allow the City to design and construct medians for Rosecrans Avenue and Garfield Avenue. Additional segments for this project will be studied and incorporated in the following fiscal year.

This $28.1 million budget for Capital Improvement Projects includes an extensive list of new and ongoing projects. The major sources of these projects include $2.7 million from the Capital Project Fund, $24.7 million from various grant funds, $89,000 from the Water Fund, and $600,000 from the Equipment Replacement fund. Additionally, the City will continue its 5-year CIP Budget that will provide a roadmap for future infrastructure improvement projects. The 5-year CIP will facilitate a focused spending plan and will improve the overall long-term financial management for the City’s infrastructure needs.

SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PARAMOUNT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
The former Paramount Redevelopment Agency was terminated on January 31, 2012 pursuant to ABx1 26. As a result, the Successor Agency for the Paramount Redevelopment Agency was created to wind down the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency. Included in this budget are the enforceable obligations on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules and the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund we expect to receive. The budget assumes that the City will be receiving $250,000 for the administration of fulfilling the requirements of making bond payments and winding down of the Agency activities.

PARAMOUNT HOUSING AUTHORITY
The Paramount Housing Authority has been inactive since the County of Los Angeles took over the administrative function for Paramount’s rental assistance vouchers in 2011. With the dissolution of redevelopment, the Housing Authority received a limited amount of low-mod housing funds for future housing projects.

SUMMARY
In closing, preparing a city budget is never a simple task, especially with so many unpredictable factors. Over the past few years, the global pandemic has introduced unprecedented levels of uncertainty. Its lingering effects remain difficult to fully anticipate in terms of both depth and duration. Compounding this challenge are current economic conditions—marked by high inflation and the looming possibility of a recession.

Given these circumstances, this preliminary spending plan for FY 2025–26 is built on conservative revenue projections and cautious spending assumptions. Despite the uncertainties, we remain committed to maintaining the current level of services and programs for our residents, with a continued emphasis on strong public safety.

MISSION STATEMENT
The budget we are presenting provides a financial outline for FY 2025-26. In this document, you will find a blueprint to continue our municipal services that meets the needs and desires of our community. With the available financial resources we will continue to be “dedicated to providing fiscally responsible services that maintain a vibrant community,” as established in our City’s Mission Statement.

Respectfully submitted this 10th day of June, 2025.

City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview

BUDGET OVERVIEW
The City of Paramount utilizes many techniques to forecast recurring revenues and expenditures. Under the direction of the City Manager, revenue estimates are developed by the Finance Department with input from individual City departments using a variety of techniques, including trend analysis, judgmental forecasting, and expert opinion. Trend data includes historical fiscal performance and historical and projected data modified for known past, current, and anticipated anomalies. The City also takes into consideration expert opinions from tax consultants HdL Companies (HdL), HdL Coren & Cone, and Avenue Insights & Analytics, and various state and federal agency reports. The financial outlook presented is based on judgment incorporating information provided by various analytical methods: known and potential legislative and development impacts and national, state, and local conditions expected to affect revenue sources.

The City continues to focus on key strategies to improve revenue growth, such as ensuring full cost recovery, evaluating service levels and delivery of services, and utilizing technology to manage growth and increasing demands.

The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and accounts for the City’s discretionary funding sources (e.g., property tax, sales tax, franchise fees, and business tax). This section begins with a comprehensive look at the General Fund, followed by discussions of other major funds used by the City.

27 City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
Table 1 above summarizes and compares FY16 to FY24 actual General Fund revenues, FY25 estimated revenues, and FY26 estimated revenues. General Fund revenues include taxes, fines, user fees, and other revenue sources, such as the administrative reimbursement from the Water Fund.

Combined, sales tax, Measure Y transactions and use tax, property tax, utility users tax, franchise tax, and business tax represent 88% of all General Fund revenues. Sales tax, Measure Y, and Motor Vehicle License Fee (VLF) continue to be the primary revenue sources for the General Fund, accounting for 60% of revenues.

Paramount began to receive Measure Y transactions and use tax revenues in FY21, increasing total General Fund revenues by 15.5% for that year. For FY26, Measure Y makes up 17% of total General Fund revenues. Actual General Fund revenues increased by 87% between FY16 and FY24, which is an 11% annual increase for eight years.

General Fund revenues are projected to increase by 1.6% in FY25, from $46.0 million in estimated FY25 revenues, to $47.1 million in estimated revenues for FY26. While economic uncertainties will linger in the coming year, and Paramount is fortunate that FY26 will be similar to FY25.

28 City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
California sales tax is imposed on the total retail price of tangible personal property (excluding a variety of state-mandated exemptions), while use tax is imposed on the purchaser for eligible transactions when sales tax has not been collected. All cities in California, including Paramount, receive 1.0% of the sales tax per state law (the BradleyBurns Act allocation). The City of Paramount also receives 0.75% from the local voterapproved Measure Y of 2020.

Sales tax revenues continue to be monitored closely. Through the pandemic, sales tax revenue moderated. The federal government’s stimulus packages, and the rulings of Wayfair and AB 147 by the Supreme Court, taking effect in 2019, injected a healthy amount of sales tax into Paramount. The Wayfair and AB 147 decisions required nationwide marketplace sellers to collect and remit sales and use tax for those states where the buyers purchased the goods, rather than where the business is located. These changes have increased the revenues from the online pool to the City.

The fuel and service stations industry group, building and construction industry group, and state and county pools are the largest sources of sales tax revenues for Paramount.

Combined they make up approximately 60% of the City’s annual sales tax and transactions and use tax revenues. Restaurants and hotels, food and drugs, and general consumer goods provide approximately 23% of sales tax revenues for the City.

The City works closely with its sales tax consultant, HdL, in projecting sales tax revenue.

Based on HdL’s analysis of the trend in year-to-date tax receipts and an examination of local business data, the City’s FY25 and FY26 sales tax revenues are anticipated to be relatively flat compared to the prior year actuals. Statewide cash receipts are 0.7% less than a year ago. Among the industries, transportation has seen the greatest decrease at minus 7.5%. General retail, construction and business to business are also decreasing from the prior year. Only food products are up, by 0.4%. $0

Property Tax
Property tax is a tax imposed on the value of real property, such as land and buildings.

Property tax revenue is collected by the County and allocated according to state law among cities, counties, school districts and special districts. Paramount property owners pay a basic tax equal to 1% of the assessed value on real property. The City’s General Fund receives approximately 6.7% of these 1% tax payments, with larger shares going to local schools, community colleges and regional special districts. As part of the State Budget Act of 2004, the legislature reduced motor vehicle license fee (VLF) revenue allocations to cities, replacing this funding with additional property tax allocations that change proportionately with the City’s annual assessed valuation (“property tax in-lieu of VLF” revenue). The City also receives “no-low” property tax payments that provide a “floor” for the City’s share of overall property tax payments. Including all these sources, Paramount receives approximately 6.7¢ of every $1.00 of property taxes collected.

The City’s property tax revenue continues to grow reflecting both new development and increasing property values in Paramount. Growth is expected to continue and housing demand, especially in the new-home market, remains healthy. Paramount property tax revenues increased by 52.9% between FY16 and FY24, with an average 6.6% increase annually.

The City, in collaboration with its property tax consultant HdL Cone & Cone, projects property tax revenue using four factors: property turnover, pricing and appeals exposure, new construction activity, and Proposition 13’s annual inflation adjustment. Based on these factors, Paramount’s property tax revenues are projected to increase a healthy

3.8% in FY25 and 4.5% for FY26.

Utility Users Tax
The utility users tax (UUT) is a 5.5% charge on all utility activity in Paramount. The tax is assessed on electricity, natural gas, and telecommunications including wired and wireless telecommunications (prepaid and postpaid), intrastate, interstate and international services, ancillary services, conferencing services, VoIP, text messages, and private communication services.

Over the long-term, UUT revenues have fluctuated based on supply and demand. UUT revenues are impacted by everything from changes in gas and electric pricing, weather conditions, and the increasing demand for electronics. Paramount’s utility users tax revenues increased by 16.9% between FY16 and FY24, with an average 2.1% increase annually.

For FY25 and FY26, UUT revenue are estimated to be at $4.8 million and $5.0 million respectively, which represents 2.9% and 4.5% annual increases. UUT revenues remain relatively stable with limited net growth. The nationwide trend of hybrid work schedules does not significantly affect Paramount’s commercial utility usage, and the trend of electric vehicle ownership seems to be slowing down.

Franchise Tax
Franchise tax revenue consists of a tax on five franchise operations in Paramount: electric, gas, cable television, water, and refuse. The State of California sets electric and gas tax rates that equal 1% of gross annual revenues and 5% of gross cable television revenues from within the City of Paramount. Electrical-related revenue is the largest component of the City’s franchise tax revenue due to the nature and rates of electricity compared to the other franchise tax revenue categories.

31 City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
Over the long term, revenues have increased slightly with growth in the City’s residential population and business activity. Revenues are also impacted by changes in gas and electric pricing along with changes in climate conditions. Paramount’s franchise tax revenues increased by 51.1% between FY16 and FY24, with an average 6.4% increase annually.

Franchise tax revenues are estimated to be $2.4 million in FY25 and $2.3 million in FY26.

While Paramount’s residential population is increasing, cable franchise tax is estimated to decline due to the increasing prevalence of alternative entertainment options including satellite television and online streaming service subscriptions.

Business License Tax
Business License Tax revenues have remained relatively flat through the years. Revenues increased by 9.8% between FY16 and FY24, with an average 1.2% increase annually.

32 City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
In November 2024, Paramount city voters approved a ballot measure (Measure LR) to modernize the City’s business tax codes by amending the business license tax structure from an employee-based tax structure to a gross receipts tax structure, making the tax rate more equitable among businesses and more cost effective for the City to enforce.

Staff projects business tax revenues will increase by estimated $1.3 million per year due to the business tax update.

The business license tax is a local non-regulatory tax that is paid by those conducting business within the City boundaries. Annually, the City collects business license tax from approximately 4,000 businesses who are renewing each year or obtaining a new license.

User Fees
User fee revenues consist of charges for services provided by the Planning and Community Services departments. Such fees include conditional use permits, building permits and inspections, and recreation classes. The City is able to calculate the full cost for these services, and state law allows for the City to charge a user fee to recover for all costs reasonably borne.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions enacted by state and county officials adversely affected program and service fee revenue beginning in the third quarter of FY20. Participation in programs and services substantially declined due to social distancing requirements. User fee revenues for FY20 was only 66% of FY19 levels. For FY21, recreation activities remained depressed, while user fee revenues from development activities exploded. For FY22 through FY26, parks and recreation fees have not returned to pre COVID-19 days, but development activities helped establish an alltime high for FY23 total user fee revenues. For FY25 and FY26, staff has identified that development activity is decreasing. Based on recent data, we are projecting user fees decreasing by 22.8% in FY25 and decreasing an another 17.9% in FY26.

In 2023, the City Council approved an update to increase certain fees, rates, and charges for development-related services and processing permits thereby established a Master Fee Schedule. The intent to update the City’s user fees is to cover service in the most equitable and efficient manner while maintaining General Fund revenue. 33 City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
Administrative Reimbursement
The General Fund receives reimbursement from the Water Fund for administrative services such as financial support, legal services, human resources, risk management, and information technology. The City conducted a Full Cost Allocation Plan to determine the amount of the administrative reimbursement.

Other General Fund Revenues
The other revenues are made up of a variety of relatively unforeseen, unpredictable, or infrequent revenue categories such as damage to city property, fines and penalties, and interest earnings.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
Paramount continues to grow and mature, resulting in increased demand for City services, infrastructure maintenance, and repair needs. The General Fund expenditure estimates, with input from individual departments, takes into consideration these anticipated needs.

The one-time use of ARPA funds to pay for LA County Sheriff services is the reason why FY23 General Fund expenditures was less than the previous year. Total General Fund yearend expenditures are estimated to be $48.8 million for FY25 and budgeted at $48.7 million for FY26. The greatest increase is within Maintenance & Operations, which includes the public safety contract and professional/contract services. $0

Salaries & Fringe Benefits
Personnel costs represent 36.8% of the City’s total General Fund expenditure for FY26.

Paramount is able to control salary costs due to the robust use of part-time employees and contracted services. Total Salaries and Other Pay will increase by $548K, or 5.2% from FY25 to FY26. In FY24 and FY25, the City allowed employees to cash out their accrued leave balance to eliminate the City’s long-standing liability that has accumulated over many years.

LA County Sheriff
The LA County Sheriff’s Department provides municipal police services to 40 of the 88 cities in Los Angeles County. The total cost to Paramount of one deputy from the Sheriff’s Department recently jumped by 80% over the previous 15 years to nearly half a million dollars a year. The largest part of the City’s budget is devoted to public safety, with the major portion of that for the Sheriff’s contract.

In FY23, the City achieved a one-time savings in the General Fund of $7.7 million by utilizing ARPA funds to offset the total LA County Sheriff costs. These one-time savings lead to corresponding increase in the General Fund balance for FY23, which the City spent on capital projects in FY24. The LA County Sheriff contract is $10.4 million for FY25 and $10.9 million for FY26.

Supplies and Services
Supplies and services include purchases of consumable items that commonly have a short life span, such as office supplies, postage, small tools, and minor vehicle and office equipment. Supplies and services also include professional, technical, legal, engineering, and financial services.

This fund accounts for the activities of the Successor Agency for the Paramount Redevelopment Agency, which is responsible for the winding down of the fiscal affairs of the former Agency. This entails payment of approved enforceable obligations that include outstanding redevelopment bond issues.

DEBT OBLIGATIONS
California statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to 15 percent of its total assessed valuation. The current debt limitation for the City is $197.6M based on the assessed value of all real and personal property of the City. In November 2021, the City took advantage of the favorable market rate by issuing a $17.4M Pension Obligation Bond (POB) to refinance and pay off the unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) to CalPERS. The City is expected to save approximately $4.7 million(19.2%) over the life of the UAL amortization by prepaying the UAL using a POB. For FY 26, $1.7 million is budgeted for principal and interest payments, funded by both the General Fund and the Water Fund, as outlined below.

City of Paramount, CA Budget Guideline and Policies

BUDGET GUIDELINES AND POLICIES
The Budget serves as the City’s financial plan, as well as a policy document, a communications tool, and an operations guide. Developed with an emphasis on long range planning, service delivery, and program management, the fundamental purpose of these documents is to provide a linkage between the services and projects the City intends to accomplish, and the resources committed to get the work done.

The format of the budget facilitates this linkage by clearly identifying the program purpose, key projects, and work plan goals in relation to revenue and expenditures appropriations.

BUDGET PROCESS
The Budget is based upon an in-depth analysis of actual and projected fund balances, revenues, and expenditures. Each City department prepares line-item details for each of their activities and recommends certain service levels and program goals for the upcoming budget year. The Finance Department prepares revenue projections based upon input from other departments. The City Manager then reviews individual departmental requests, prioritizes activities based upon City Council policy, and makes certain adjustments. At the conclusion of this process, the proposed budget is prepared and is submitted to the City Council for review and approval.

The public is encouraged to participate in the budget process at the State of the City presentation, budget public hearings, the City’s strategic planning workshop, and host frequent community surveys. Elected officials and City management also attend community gatherings, hoping to get the public’s opinion on city services.

FISCAL YEAR BASIS
The City of Paramount operates on a fiscal year basis, beginning on July 1st and ending on June 30th of the following year. The Annual Budget provides a legal basis for expenditures and a basis for control over operations throughout the fiscal year. 59 City of Paramount, CA Budget Guideline and Policies
60 City of Paramount, CA Budget Guideline and Policies

ACCOUNTING STRUCTURE
In accordance with the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34, funds are grouped into 3 classifications and 11 different fund types. Governmental Funds are used to account for tax-supported (governmental) activities. Proprietary funds are used to account for business-type activities (such as activities supported, at least in part, by fees or charges. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held by an agency as a trustee or custodial capacity for outside parties. These resources cannot be used to support the agency’s own programs and must meet the fiduciary activities criteria. a. Governmental Funds (emphasizing major funds)
(1) General Fund
(2) Special revenue funds
(3) Capital projects funds
(4) Debt service funds
(5) Permanent funds
b. Proprietary Funds
(6) Enterprise funds (emphasizing major funds)
(7) Internal service funds
c. Fiduciary Funds and similar component units
(8) Pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds
(9) Investment trust funds
(10) Private-purpose trust funds
(11) Agency funds

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Governmental funds include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds and Capital Project Funds. For the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), these funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Agency funds are also accounted for using the modified accrual basis. Proprietary funds include Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds. These funds are accounted for using the full accrual basis of accounting.

BASIS OF BUDGETING
The budgetary process is based on accounting for certain transactions on a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP basis). The major difference between the budgetary basis and GAAP basis is that year end encumbrances are recognized as the equivalent of expenditures on the budgetary basis in governmental funds, while encumbered amounts are not recognized as expenditures on the GAAP basis. 61 City of Paramount, CA Budget Guideline and Policies

BALANCED BUDGET
The budget for the General Fund will be structurally balanced for the fiscal year. A structurally unbalanced budget will include an explanation and describe the expected approach and time frame for achieving structural balance within the context of official revenue and expenditure projections. It is not a violation of this policy to have a planned use of funds available to fund one-time items, including capital, equipment, land, or transitional costs for operations (starting up or termination of a service element). It is also not a violation of this policy to use funds previously set aside to mitigate temporarily higher costs or lower revenues.

REVENUES
The City will endeavor to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to minimize the effects of economic fluctuations on revenue generation. The City will estimate revenues using an objective, analytical process; in the case of uncertainty, conservative projections will be utilized. The use of qualified professionals to project revenues is encouraged.

The City will fund all current expenditures from current revenues and available fund balance, avoiding procedures that balance current budgets by postponing needed expenditures, accruing future revenues, or rolling over short-term debt.

The City will identify basic tax-provided services and will establish user fees and charges for services provided in excess of basic services. Development process costs and related administrative expenses will be offset by development fees. Water rates should be adjusted to fully cover the costs of all water operations.

City staff will provide periodic reports to the City Council which compare and analyze yearto-date actual revenues and expenditures to budget.

BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS
Appropriations are the amounts approved for expenditure by the City Council with the adoption of the annual budget and subsequent budget amendments which are brought to the Council for their approval. The City Council adopts by resolution a budget which appropriates city funds for operating expenditures and capital improvement projects within a fiscal year.

Budget appropriations also include approval of staffing of full-time staffing levels.

Requests for new and/or additional positions will only be considered during the City’s annual budget process and may be considered during the Mid-Year report. New positions and/or upgraded positions approved as part of the budgetary process shall be reviewed to determine the appropriateness of the assigned classification and/or salary structure.

While City Council approval is not required for the revenue projections within the budget, accuracy and integrity of staffs’ revenue projections is essential in the City Council’s 62 City of Paramount, CA Budget Guideline and Policies
budget appropriation decisions.

BUDGETARY MONITORING AND CONTROL
Budgetary control is maintained through monthly expenditure reports. The detailed monthly reports are reviewed by the Finance Director and each Department Director. A mid-year budget review process is completed each January and submitted to the Council for review and approval in February.

Appropriations are presented in the budget by fund, department, program, and object categories. The object categories available are: 1) Salaries and Benefits; 2) Maintenance and Operations; 3) Capital Outlay; 4) Debt Service; 5) Internal Services; and 6) Transfers.

Expenditures must be charged to the most appropriate account.

The level of budgetary control over appropriation is at the activity level. The City Manager may transfer appropriations within an activity, and may transfer appropriations within a fund without City Council approval, provided the total appropriation at the activity level and the fund level does not change. Budgetary changes, including supplemental appropriations or appropriation reductions, may be made by the City Council during the fiscal year or at a midyear budget review.

The Department Director has the authority to spend within their departmental budget and fund. Expenditures may not exceed budgeted appropriations at the activity level.

Expenditures may exceed budget appropriations in one program, as long as total expenditures do not exceed that activity and fund budget appropriations. Departments must adhere to all other purchasing policies and procedures within the City and be in accordance with all federal and state requirements.

The City categorizes departments/divisions within these six activities:

ACFR Reporting Activities Budgetary Departments

City Manager/City Clerk
Administrative Services
Finance
Community Development Planning and Building
Public Safety Public Safety
Community Services Community Services
Public Works Public Works
Capital Improvement Project
Interest and Fiscal Charges Debt Service
63 City of Paramount, CA Budget Guideline and Policies

BUDGET AMENDMENTS
The budget as adopted by the City Council can be amended during the fiscal year. The need to amend or adjust the budget typically arises in response to unforeseen circumstances or events. All requests must include discussions of the fiscal impact and require City Council approval for additional appropriations.

CAPITAL OUTLAYS, CAPITAL PROJECTS AND CAPITAL ASSETS
For budgeting purposes, Capital Outlays are expenditures to acquire, replace, or upgrade assets used in the daily operations of city services. Capital outlays are generally one-time expenses purchased within one fiscal year, have a lifespan of 5-10 years, and used daily by staff. Computer equipment and vehicles are two examples of capital outlay. Capital outlays are typically considered part of the operating budget.

For budgeting purposes, a Capital Project is a project that helps maintain or improve the City’s infrastructure. A capital project is large in scale, high-cost, and requires considerable planning relative to other expenditures. Typically, a capital project has the following characteristics:
 New construction, expansion, renovation, or replacement project for an existing facility or facilities. Project costs can include the cost of land, engineering, architectural planning, and contract services needed to complete the project.  Purchase of major equipment (assets) costing $50,000 or more with a useful life of at least 10 years.
 Major maintenance or rehabilitation project for existing facilities with a cost of $50,000 or more and an economic life of at least 10 years.  Fine Arts costing $5,000 or more will be included in the CIP Budget.

Capital projects are presented in its own section of the budget, which identifies the project number and brief description, its funding sources, project start and completion dates. Since capital projects may have multiple funding sources, a summary by fund allows the city to identify its fiscal impact to the budget.

For accounting purposes and reporting in the ACFR, Capital Assets are land, land improvements, buildings and improvements, fine art, computer equipment, vehicles, other equipment, and right-to-use assets that are reported in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. In accordance with the provisions of GAAP, infrastructure assets related to governmental activities are reflected in the basic financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as fine art, computer equipment, vehicles, other equipment and intangible assets (i.e., software) with an initial individual cost of more than $5,000; and land, land improvements, buildings and improvements, and infrastructure with costs of more than $50,000. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical 64 City of Paramount, CA Budget Guideline and Policies
cost if purchased or constructed. Donated or annexed capital assets are recorded at estimated acquisition value at the date of donation or annexation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Depreciation is recorded in the Government-wide Financial Statements on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets as follows on the next page:

Land Improvements ................................................. 20 years Buildings and Improvements............................. 10 - 50 years Fine Art ..................................................................... 20 years Computer Equipment ................................................. 5 years Vehicles ................................................................. 6 - 7 years Other Equipment ................................................. 3 - 20 years Infrastructure .................................................. 15 - 100 years Right to use assets ............ Lesser of lease term or useful life

LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
The GFOA recommends that agencies develop long-term financial trends that extends at least two years beyond the annual budget cycle and mulƟ-year capital plan. Long-term financial planning involves forecasƟng revenues, expenses, and key factors that have a financial impact on the organizaƟon. The City developed a preliminary forecast of revenues and expenditures to understand its trends and potenƟal risk factors that may impact the City’s overall financial sustainability.

The City uses many techniques to forecast recurring revenues and expenditures. Trends include historical data and projected data modified for known, past, current, and anƟcipated anomalies. The City also takes into consideraƟon expert opinions and projecƟons from sales tax and property tax consultant, Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates (HdL) Companies. Economic forecasts are taken with cauƟon as it can create many challenges and uncertainƟes that don’t conform to historical trends and changes frequently. InflaƟon also affects the City in various ways, such as the increased price of goods and services, eroding purchasing power, reducing the value of savings, an increasing borrowing cost.

The City strives to focus on key strategies to detect revenue leakage and improve revenue enhancements such as achieving maximum cost recovery, increasing collecƟon efforts, using technology, modifying procedures, and evaluaƟng service and delivery levels to effecƟvely manage growth and increase demands.

The following General Fund operaƟng budget forecast excludes capital improvement projects. The assumpƟons can and will change as part of future year budget development processes; however, these trends can be used as a guide for planning purposes. Similar to the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan, which is included in the CIP secƟon of this budget document, the future year numbers beyond FY26 are for planning purposes and the City is only adopƟng a one-year budget: FY26.

General Fund Revenues, Expenditures & Fund Balance Outlook FY 2015 – FY 2034

DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
The Debt Management Policy establishes the parameters within which debt may be issued and administered by the City of Paramount (the “City”), Public Financing Authority, the City of Paramount Water Utility Authority, and the Successor Agency of the City of Paramount (collectively, the “Covered Entities”). The Policy strives to comply with Government Code Section 8855(i) and to:
 Maintain the Covered Entities’ sound financial position;  Ensure the Covered Entities have the flexibility to respond to changes in future service priorities, revenue levels, and operating expenses;
 Protect the Covered Entities’ credit-worthiness;
 Ensure that all debt is structured in order to protect both current and future taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents of the Covered Entities;
 Ensure that the Covered Entities’ debt is consistent with their planning goals and objectives and capital improvement program or budget, as applicable.

The Policy also establishes purposes for which debt may be issued, outlines the different types of debt that may be issued, details what constitutes long-term and short-term debt and the circumstances in which the City can either issue long-term or short-term debt as well as financings on behalf of other entities.
66 City of Paramount, CA Budget Guideline and Policies

FUND BALANCE POLICY
The City generates fund balance (or accumulation of operating surpluses) during years when revenues exceed expenditures. There are five major fund balance categories that the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) created in its GASB 54 pronouncement: Nonspendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned and Unassigned.  Nonspendable: Amounts not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Examples include: inventory, notes and loans, prepaid items and/or advances.
 Restricted: Portions of fund balance that are externally imposed by grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of state or federal governments or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Examples include:
federal and state grants for a specific purpose and/or restricted donations or contributions.
 Committed: Amounts constrained to specific purposes by a governments itself, using its highest level of decision-making authority (City Council), and remains binding unless removed in the same manner. Examples include: Capital projects and/or contractual obligations.
 Assigned: Amounts a government intends to use for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed; intent can be expressed by the governing body, or by an official or body to which the governing body delegates the authority.

Examples include: Economic Contingency Reserve, Unfunded Liability Reserve, Equipment Replacement Fund, Employee Liability Fund and/or Insurance/Risk Management Reserve.
 Unassigned: Amounts available for any governmental purpose. It is the City’s policy to maintain an unassigned fund balance of at least 50% of operating expenditures, excluding transfers, in the General Fund. Given the City’s revenue base and its volatility during economic downturns, the 50% is considered the minimum level necessary to maintain the City’s credit worthiness and to adequately provide for sharp declines in operating revenues, sustain General Fund operations, and/or to offset budget deficits whether structural in nature or not.

INVESTMENT POLICY
The intent of the Investment Policy is to define the parameters within which funds are to be managed. The City will invest its funds in such a manner as to comply with applicable state laws (California Government Code Section 53600, et seq. and 53630, et seq.), ensure prudent money management, provide for daily cash flow needs, and meet the City’s investment objectives. The primary objectives, in priority order, of the investment activities of the City are:

1. Safety – Safety of the principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of capital in the portfolio;
67 City of Paramount, CA Budget Guideline and Policies

2. Liquidity – The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet its cash flow requirements;

3. Return on Investment – The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into consideration with the investment risk constraints of safety and liquidity needs.

The Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the City except for the investment of bond proceeds, which are governed by the appropriate bond documents, and any pension or other postemployment benefit funds held in a trust that has a separate investment policy. The Policy outlines the authorized and suitable investments for the City. The Finance Department staff, with assistance from the City’s investment advisor, analyze the portfolio and act to maximize earnings while safeguarding assets and maintaining liquidity. On an annual basis, staff conduct an evaluation of the City’s Policy to determine compliance with applicable federal and state regulations and with industry standards and best practices to determine if any enhancements or newly adopted rules and regulations are required to be incorporated within the Policy. Based on these regular staff evaluations, annual updates and revisions to the investment policy may be recommended.

CITY PROFILE

CITY PROFILE/HISTORY
In the first half of the 20th century, the villages of Hynes and Clearwater were the center of Southern California’s dairy industry and were known as both “The Milk Shed of Los Angeles” and “The World’s Largest Hay Market.”
Hynes-Clearwater had more cows per square mile than anywhere west of Chicago – a total of 25,000 at its peak. It was home to the Hay Tree, where the price of that commodity was set each morning for the rest of the world. (The tree, which still stands in the Civic Center, was named California Registered Historical Landmark No. 1038 in 2004.) In 1948, after discussions dating back to 1925, the two towns unified under the name of Paramount. This name was taken from the main boulevard running through the area, which had been changed from Ocean Ave. in 1931. Incorporation as a municipality was eventually approved in 1957.

As the years went by, and the region urbanized, and the land finally became more valuable for development than milk production – when homes and stores nudged out cows and bales of hay – the farmers left for places like Ontario and Chino.

The history of Paramount has in many ways followed a path typical of its Southeast Los Angeles County neighbors. Agricultural beginnings early in the 20th century were followed by relatively uncontrolled growth, which led to an overbuilt environment. By the 1970s, while still basically a stable, middle-class town, much of Paramount had degenerated into blight.

By 1981, a study by the Rand Corporation labeled the City an “urban disaster area.” Rather than sink under the weight of its problems, Paramount chose a proactive course to meet them head on. Through the dedicated efforts of government officials, residents, the faith84 City of Paramount, CA City Profile
based community, and businesses, the City made incredible strides in renewal.

Combining existing urban planning tools with innovative programs, the City began leaving its “Rust Belt” status behind in the 1980s. This led to Paramount being named an "AllAmerica City" by the National Civic League in 1988, and many of its efforts have attracted state and national recognition. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors issued a special commendation to Paramount for its remarkable turnaround.

These last decades have been years of rejuvenation, hard work, creative vision, and community spirit, all of which have come to define Paramount. It is now an attractive small town graced by tree-lined neighborhoods, white picket fences, public art, pocket parks, and landscaped boulevards.

A DYNAMIC CITY
Located at the gateway to the Los Angeles metropolis, the City offers a secure quality of life to nearly 53,000 residents and a business-friendly attitude that has created a growing retail and services sector.

Crime statistics are at historic lows thanks to a proactive, balanced relationship with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. Paramount has a distinctive look due to a continual investment in its infrastructure and a long-time emphasis on code enforcement and assistance programs that have helped residents and businesses upgrade and maintain their properties. The municipal government is a stable, inventive, and financially conservative organization, with an emphasis on maintaining the quality of life for residents.

It is also home to unique businesses. These include the iconic Iceland Skating Rink, now owned by the Los Angeles Kings professional hockey organization but built by the Zamboni family and where the famous Ice Resurfacing Machine was created. (It is still manufactured in town.)
The Paramount Entertainment Center features the Paramount Swap Meet, one of the oldest enterprises of its kind and currently the largest daily swap meets in California. The Center also features one of the few remaining drive-in movie theaters.

World Energy has converted the former Paramount Petroleum refinery into a 100% renewable fuels production facility, one of the largest such producers in the country and on the cutting edge of the future of sustainable energy.

CITY COUNCIL/ COMMISSIONS
The City Council is composed of five members who are elected by the voters of Paramount for four-year overlapping terms. Each year, the City Council chooses a Mayor and a Vice Mayor from among its members whose responsibilities are to chair Council meetings, attest to the official actions of the City, and otherwise represent the City. The City Council establishes policy directions for the City, approves ordinances, resolutions, and contracts; and appoints the City Manager and City Attorney.

With the approval of the City Council, the Mayor appoints five commissions (Planning, Public Safety, Parks & Recreation, Public Works, and Senior Services) which serve as advisory bodies to the City Council. These commissions review issues within their respective areas and make recommendations for the City Council’s consideration.

Below is a chart showing the organization of the City Council and its commissions. A department summary combining all activities is shown on the next page. A detailed description of the activity can be found on the following pages.

DEBT SERVICE SUMMARY
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue up to 15 percent of its total assessed valuation. The current debt limitation for the City is $197.6 million based on the assessed value of all real and personal property of the City. In November 2021, the City took advantage of the favorable market rate by issuing a $17.4 million Pension Obligation Bond (POB) to refinance and pay off the unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) to CalPERS. The City is expected to save approximately $4.7 million (19.2%) over the life of the UAL amortization by prepaying the UAL using a POB. [72-11] DEBT SERVICE ADMIN (GF)
