From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Adriana Figueroa, Public Works Director
Date: June 9, 2026
SUBJECT: PROGRESS PARK PLAZA EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENT (CITY PROJECT NO. 9352)

BACKGROUND
Over the years, Progress Park Plaza facility has undergone significant interior improvements. To continue the City's efforts to improve and modernize the facility, the City Council subsequently approved the design and construction of exterior improvements. The completed project included new concrete paving, planters, outdoor overhead shade structures, landscaping, decorative tile work, exterior painting, and other site amenities.

The improvements have enhanced the functionality, aesthetics, and overall usability of Progress Park Plaza, providing an improved gathering space for community events and public use. The project has now been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and staff recommends that the City Council accept the work as complete.

DISCUSSION
On December 19, 2024, the Director of Public Works opened bids for the project, and the project was awarded to ARC Construction, Inc., at the City Council meeting on January 28, 2025. A Notice to Proceed was issued with a start date of May 28, 2025.

The work performed under this contract has been inspected under the supervision of the Public Works Director, in conformance with Section 6-8 of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction.

The project was completed on April 28 2026, and the Notice of Completion will be filed with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s office after approval by the City Council. The contract retention of $87,996.22 will be held for thirty-five (35) days from that date of recordation. The total project cost, including any necessary change orders, is $1,759,924.41.

Agenda Report June 9, 2026
ACCEPTANCE OF WORK - CITY PROJECT NO. 9352 Page 2

FISCAL IMPACT

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUBJECT: FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH FAIRBANK, MASLIN, MAULLIN, METZ & ASSOCIATES (FM3) TO CONDUCT COMMUNITY

SURVEY FOR PROPOSED REVENUE ENHANCEMENT MEASURE ON
THE NOVEMBER 2026 BALLOT

BACKGROUND
During the October 14, 2025 City Council special meeting discussing the topic of revenue enhancement measures, City Council gave direction for staff to further explore the presented options, including the possibility of a new sales tax and parcel tax. The Council considered pursuing possible revenue enhancement measures in order to address a growing structural deficit with the General Fund. The City regularly evaluates cost saving measures in order to avoid the need for additional revenue. However, additional revenue is needed in order to maintain the high-quality services that Paramount residents expect.

On October 28, 2025, City Council also authorized the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Fairbank, Maslin, Maulin, Metz, & Associates (FM3) to conduct community polling services to determine the viability of such measures being placed on the 2026 ballot. Polling for a sales tax ballot measure option was subsequently conducted in January 2026. Due to the County pursuing a sales tax increase on the same June 2026 ballot, the City decided not to pursue its own sales tax measure. On March 10, 2026, staff presented City Council additional details on a potential parcel tax applied to industrial, commercial and vacant parcels, through a three phase tiered approach to ease the immediate financial impact on property owners. Following Council direction, FM3 conducted polling for the proposed parcel tax measure in April 2026. The results of the poll showed favorable support for the tax.

At this time, no specific ballot measure language has been drafted but staff is recommending a second poll survey for the proposed parcel tax be conducted now that the June 2026 election has concluded. An amendment to the FM3 agreement would be necessary to authorize this additional poll. If the City Council decides to move forward with placing the tax measure on the November ballot, the item would be presented for approval in late July or early August.

Agenda Report June 9, 2026
AMENDMENT TO FM3 AGREEMENT Page 2

DISCUSSION
The City has received a proposal from FM3 to conduct one additional survey of Paramount residents to gauge their perceptions of and attitudes towards the City, gauge their budget priorities, and test the viability of a possible parcel tax ballot measure that the City Council may consider placing in front of voters. Data collection and survey efforts will consist of telephone and online interviews, as well as email/text invitations in both English and Spanish.

Baseline Survey – FM3 will conduct an 18-minute dual-mode survey (online and by telephone, featuring approximately 35-50 unique questions) among a random sample of up to 300 likely November 2026 General Election voters, to include an approximate sample of between 150 and 175 registered voters. The baseline survey will primarily focus on a potential parcel tax measure that the City is considering pursuing in the 2026 election.

If the proposed agreement amendment is approved by City Council, FM3 is prepared to begin the work in June 2026. Results of the polling/data is expected to be presented to City Council in July 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
FM3 can complete the baseline survey for a total not-to-exceed cost of $24,750. This price includes all costs for questionnaire design and translation, sample acquisition and preparation, programming, email and text message invitations, bilingual online survey hosting, bilingual telephone interviewing, data entry and analysis, and reporting.

This expense is included in the FY 2026-27 adopted budget.

SCOPE OF WORK

Director
Date: June 9, 2026
SUBJECT: WORLD ENERGY/ALTAIR COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT

YEAR FOUR SPENDING PLAN

BACKGROUND
This item is a request for approval for the Year Four 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 $294,800 this upcoming fiscal year. As such, the $1 million contribution would be reduced to $705,200.

DISCUSSION
For Year Four of the CBA, we are proposing programs that will be handled by the Community Services Department.

Programs and projects include Downtown holiday lighting and decorations, a TreePeople consultant, Master Gardener consultant, Friday Night Paramount, a 1660 Adult Recreation event, day camp supplies, Paramount Teen Leadership Alliance (PTLA) supplies, PTLA scholarship, Summer Day Camp supplies and excursion/transportation, free swim, youth sports registration, Zumba and yoga instructor, Adaptive Recreation excursion, Paramount Education Partnership (PEP) excursion and transportation, and senior special event.

World Energy/AltAir is reviewing the proposed Year Four spending plan. As World Energy/Alt Air has been supportive of the proposed programs and projects in previous years and there have been no new programs or projects added to the proposed Year Four, staff does not foresee any concerns with the proposed spending plan.

In accordance with the CBA, on or before August 31, World Energy/AltAir will conduct an accounting of point-of-sale offsets for the preceding fiscal year and determine the amount remaining to satisfy the annual contribution for the previous fiscal year. World Energy/AltAir will then remit the balance to the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget, as these programs have been budgeted.

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 Agenda Report June 9, 2026

SUBJECT: FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT AND TRANSTECH ENGINEERS, INC. FOR

BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES

BACKGROUND
Building inspections are an essential service that all jurisdictions provide. As described by the California Building Officials organization, building inspectors support development and safety through enforcement of building codes and standards; they are the main point of contact between construction in the field and the office permitting process, providing inspections at key stages to ensure compliance; and they offer technical guidance to contractors and homeowners for safe, code-compliant construction.

In Paramount, two City-employed, full-time Building Inspectors have staffed the Planning and Building Department and predecessor City departments since the 1980s.

On February 19, 2026, following the retirement of one of the Building Inspectors, the City and Transtech Engineers, Inc. entered into an agreement for Transtech to provide certified building inspection services up to June 30, 2026 for a total not to exceed $40,000.

As additional funds are now required to continue services, an amendment to the agreement is proposed.

DISCUSSION
As noted, the City’s current contract with Transtech is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026 and additional funds are immediately needed to service the agreement. In order to provide flexibility while the City assesses when to hire a second full-time Building Inspector, staff proposes amending the existing agreement for building inspection services by extending the term to no later than June 30, 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT
Agenda Report June 9, 2026
BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES Page 2
The total additional contract amount will not exceed $175,000, including taxes and fees.

A one-month portion of this amount has been appropriated in the General Fund in the Planning and Building Department for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 and the remainder will be appropriated in the General Fund FY 2026-27. The term of the Agreement will go through June 30, 2027 or until the funds are exhausted. Pursuant to Chapter 3.12 (Purchasing of Supplies and Equipment) of the Paramount Municipal Code, this acquisition is exempt from competitive bidding due to this being a professional service contract (construction management) as specified in Section 3.12.080 of the Municipal Code.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the first amendment to the agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for building inspection services extending the term of the agreement through June 30, 2027 and increasing the total not to exceed amount of the agreement to $215,000 and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the amendment.

FY 2025-26 Year-End Review
As the fiscal year approaches year-end, General Fund revenues of $48.1 million, along with a one-time transfer of $200,000 from State COPS Grant funds to offset Public Safety costs, are projected to exceed expenditures of $47.9 million by approximately $384,573.

Of the projected year-end surplus, approximately $241,000 is proposed to replenish the Economic Uncertainty Reserve shortfall.

The Capital Projects Fund is projected to draw down approximately $12.9 million during FY 2025-26, resulting in an estimated ending balance of $1.2 million.

Agenda Report June 9, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:023 – FY 2026-2027 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 3 Special Revenue Funds are projected to generate revenues of approximately $57.6 million, with operating expenditures of $10.2 million and capital improvement expenditures of $52.4 million, resulting in an estimated ending balance of $13.1 million.

The Water Fund is anticipated to end the fiscal year with an operating deficit of approximately $861,812. Although the City will provide an $850,000 loan from the General Fund to support cash flow and working capital needs, the Water Fund is still expected to require the use of operating reserves to balance operations. Further discussion will be needed to identify long-term solutions to address the ongoing structural deficit.

FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget Highlights
General Fund Proposed Budget
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and accounts for all unrestricted revenues. For FY 2026-27, the proposed General Fund budget is projected to have an operating deficit of $545,457, with estimated revenues of $48.8 million in revenues and $49.4 million in expenditures. To address the shortfall, staff proposed to utilize a one-time transfer of $562,750 from the Equipment Replacement Fund and $254,745 from assigned reserves. With these one-time transfers, the General Fund is projected to end the year with a net surplus of $272,038. Staff recognizes that the use of one-time reserves for ongoing operations may create future structural imbalances; therefore, the proposed use of one-time reserves is intended only for expenditures not anticipated to recur in the near future.

The General Fund is proposing to provide a cash loan of $850,000 to the Water Fund in FY 2026-27 to ensure sufficient working capital. This represents the fourth consecutive 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.

RESOLUTION NO. 26:023 – FY 2026-2027 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 4 General Fund Revenues
The following chart illustrates the FY 2026-27 General Fund revenue sources:

During FY 2026-27, General Fund revenues (excluding transfers) are projected to total $48.8 million, reflecting a 3.6% increase over the adopted $47.1 million in FY 2025-26.

Key revenue increases over the prior year are anticipated in Business License Tax (33% or $938,500), Property Tax (2% or $53,000), Utility Users Tax (UUT) (10% or $479,000), and Development Fees (26% or $200,000). These gains are partially offset by projected declines in Sales Tax and Measure Y Tax (-3% or $600,000), and Other revenues (-30% or $210,000). Below is additional detail on our major revenue sources, which together represent over 87% of total General Fund revenues:
• Sales Tax and Transactions & Use Tax (Measure Y) together account for 37% of total General Fund revenues, making them the City’s largest revenue sources.

Sales tax revenue peaked at $12.2 million in FY 2022-23; however, it subsequently declined for three consecutive years, falling to an estimated $10.7 million in FY 2026-27. To strengthen and diversify the City’s revenue base, voters approved an additional Transactions & Use Tax (Measure Y) in FY 2020-21. Since implementation, Measure Y has generated more than $7 million annually. Measure Y revenues peaked at $8.5 million in FY 2023-24, declined to $7.5 million in FY 2024-25, increased slightly to an estimated $7.8 million in FY 2025-26, and are projected to decline again to $7.4 million in FY 2026–27. • 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 Agenda Report June 9, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:023 – FY 2026-2027 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 5 property tax district. For FY 2026-27, VLF revenue is projected to increase by 2% at $9.2 million, making it the second largest General Fund revenue source. • Property Tax - Property Tax revenue is projected to grow by 2%, or $53,000, in FY 2026-27. This increase is driven by stable property values, reassessments, and modest new development activity.
• Utility Users Tax (UUT) - UUT revenues are forecasted to increase by 10% or $479,000 in FY 2026-27. This growth reflects consistent utility consumption patterns and increases in rate structures across electric, gas, water, and telecommunications services.
• Business License Tax revenue is projected to increase by 33% or $938,000 for FY 26-27 and incrementally for the preceding fiscal years. This is the result of Measure LR 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 the calendar year 2025. Given the phase-in provision for calendar year 2025, business license tax revenue is expected to grow after FY 2026-27.

General Fund Expenditures
The following chart illustrates the relative departmental expenditures:

Agenda Report June 9, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:023 – FY 2026-2027 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 6 General Fund expenditures are projected to total approximately $49.4 million in FY 2026- 27, representing an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 3.1%, compared to the FY 2025-26 estimated budget of $47.9 million. The slight increase is primarily attributable to rising costs in several key areas, including cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), market rate adjustments resulting from the Classification and Compensation Study, increased laborrelated costs such as CalPERS contributions, step increases, healthcare costs, and minimum wage adjustments, as well as inflationary increases in maintenance, operations, and other recommended operating needs.

These increases are partially offset by cost-saving measures, including a 5% reduction in departmental budget requests, freezing select vacant positions, reducing part-time employee hours to reflect actual usage, limiting overtime, reviewing auto-renewal contracts, conducting utility audits, delaying certain equipment replacements, and deferring maintenance activities.

The proposed personnel-related adjustments are included in the Salaries, Positions, and Employee Benefits section below.

City’s General Fund Revenue and Expenditure Outlook
The long-term projection for general fund revenues, expenditures, and fund balance is illustrated in the line graph above.

Agenda Report June 9, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:023 – FY 2026-2027 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 7 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% to 8% annually. These projections assume that no major changes will occur in the broader economic landscape.

Based on these reasonable assumptions, 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 2026-27, the Proposed Capital Projects Fund is projected to draw down approximately $829,000 for capital expenditures. The Equipment Replacement Fund is also expected to fund approximately $150,000 in one-time equipment purchases. After all planned activities and use of one-time funds, the estimated ending fund balance is approximately $569,360.

Over the past several years, the City has made significant investments in infrastructure improvements, utilizing a substantial portion of the Capital Projects Fund. Moving forward, if the City intends to continue funding major capital improvements with General Fund support, additional long-term funding sources will need to be identified.

Special Revenue Fund
For FY 2026-27, the Proposed Special Revenue Funds are projected to have a net use of $5.6 million. Revenues are projected at $20.2 million, while operating and capital project expenditures total $25.8 million. This brings the Special Revenue Funds ending balance to $7.5 million for future projects.

Water Fund Proposed Budget
The Proposed FY 2026-27 Budget is projected to result in an operating deficit of $1.4 million. Revenues are estimated at $11.1 million, while total operating and capital improvement expenditures are projected at $12.5 million. As a result of the shortfall and to maintain compliance with debt covenant requirements, the General Fund will continue to provide an $850,000 loan to the Water Fund to ensure sufficient cash flow. Even with Agenda Report June 9, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:023 – FY 2026-2027 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 8 the loan, the Water Fund is projected to end the year with a net deficit of approximately $531,040.

A major development for the Water Fund was the placement of Well 16 into operation in August 2025. The well is expected to help reduce long-term water costs by increasing access to local water supply and reducing reliance on imported water. However, despite the additional well capacity, the Water Fund continues to experience significant financial pressures.

Accordingly, further evaluation of water operations, expenditures, and the overall revenue structure, including a comprehensive review of water rates to ensure all operational and capital costs are appropriately captured, will be necessary to support 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 $1,768,820 for FY 2027.

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 (“IBank”) to construct a water well and other water treatment facilities. The payment of principal and interest totals $304,680 for FY 2027.

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 $364,440 for FY 2027.

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 2027.

Payment for debt service is allocated to the various departmental budgets in the General Fund, Water Fund and certain long-term grant funds.
5-Year Capital Improvement Projects Plan (FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30) • FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget: $17.3 million (New budget appropriation for current and new projects, not including FY2026 CIP Budget of $68.0 million).

Agenda Report June 9, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:023 – FY 2026-2027 BUDGET ADOPTION Page 9 Salaries, Positions, and Employee Benefits
The City Council approves changes to position classification listings and salary ranges for City employees during each Fiscal Year budget adoption. Pursuant to the Paramount Municipal Code, the City Manager has the authority to make personnel changes in their capacity as the City’s Personnel Officer. However, modifications that impact the City’s Budget (i.e. compensation, Authorized Position Listing) must be approved by the City Council. The proposed FY 2026-27 Authorized Position Listing and Salary Schedule for Full-Time and Part-time Employees is listed in the Resolution 26:023.

We are pleased to present the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026‐27 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget.

As a financial document, the budget presents our best assumptions for revenues and expenditures for the next year of services. As a policy guide, it reaffirms the City’s unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality services and aligning resources with the City Council’s priorities.

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.

ECOMONIC OUTLOOK
The economic outlook for FY 2026-27 remains cautious as global and national economies continue to face elevated uncertainty, slower growth, persistent inflationary pressures, and geopolitical instability. While a recession is not in view, the Congressional Budget Office projects economic growth to be moderate, and downside risks remain significant.

At the national level, inflation has eased from prior peaks but remains above target in some sectors, while interest rates are expected to remain relatively elevated compared to historical norms. Consumer spending and labor markets have shown resilience; however, slowing economic activity, volatile energy prices, and continued global conflicts may place pressure on financial markets and local revenue performance. The International Monetary Fund projects global growth of approximately 3.1% in 2026, but warns that worsening geopolitical or energy disruptions could materially weaken economic conditions.

At the local level, the City should continue to prepare for a period of slower revenue 12 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
growth and heightened fiscal uncertainty. Economically sensitive revenues such as sales tax, business license tax, user fees, and development-related revenues may remain volatile as businesses and consumers respond to inflation, higher borrowing costs, and broader economic uncertainty. In addition, rising operational costs, including utilities, insurance, labor, construction, and contracted services, are expected to continue placing pressure on City operations and capital improvement programs. Given these conditions, the FY 2026-27 budget continues to emphasize prudent fiscal management, maintaining adequate reserves, monitoring revenue performance closely, prioritizing essential services and infrastructure investments, and preserving long-term financial sustainability.

Staff will continue to monitor economic conditions throughout the fiscal year and recommend adjustments as necessary during the mid-year budget review process.

Through conservative fiscal practices, proactive planning, and the continued support of the City Council, the City remains well‐positioned to maintain financial stability and advance its strategic priority of long‐term economic health.

FY 2026‐27 PROPOSED BUDGET
On May 19, 2026, City staff introduced the proposed FY 2026-27 budget to the City Council and the public. For FY 2026‐27, total operating expenditures, and capital improvement projects are projected at $88.5 million across all funds. Revenues, transfers‐in, and adjustments are estimated at $81.1 million, resulting in a projected shortfall of $7.4 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 2026‐27 Proposed Budget and fund balances.

General Fund – The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and accounts for all unrestricted revenues. For FY 2026–27, the General Fund budget is projected to have an operating deficit of $545,457, with estimated revenues of $48.8 million and expenditures of $49.4 million. To address the shortfall, staff recommends utilizing a one-time transfer of $562,750 from the Equipment Replacement Fund and $254,745 from assigned reserves.

With these one-time transfers, the General Fund is projected to end the year with a net FY 2026-2027 General Fund

surplus of $272,038. Staff recognizes that the use of one-time reserves for ongoing operations may create future structural imbalances; therefore, the proposed use of onetime reserves is intended only for expenditures not anticipated to recur in the near future.

Due to an operational budget shortfall in the Water Fund, the General Fund will provide a cash loan of $850,000 to the Water Fund in FY 2026-27 to ensure sufficient working capital.

This represents the fourth consecutive loan from the General Fund to the Water Fund. The loan will be funded through the use of the General Fund’s reserve.

Capital Project Fund – For FY 2026-27, the Capital Projects Fund is projected to draw down approximately $829,000 for capital expenditures. The Equipment Replacement Fund is also expected to fund approximately $150,000 in one-time equipment purchases. After all planned activities and use of one-time funds, the estimated ending fund balance is approximately $569,360.

Special Revenue Funds (Restricted Funds/Grants) ‐ For FY 2026-27, the Special Revenue Funds are projected to have a net use of $5.6 million. Revenues are projected at $20.2 million, while operating and capital project expenditures total $25.8 million. This brings the Special Revenue Funds ending balance to $7.5 million.

Water Fund ‐ The Proposed FY 2026–27 Budget is projected to result in an operating deficit of $1.4 million. Revenues are estimated at $11.1 million, while total operating and capital improvement expenditures are projected at $12.5 million. As a result of the shortfall and to maintain compliance with debt covenant requirements, the General Fund will continue to provide an $850,000 loan to the Water Fund to ensure sufficient cash flow.

Even with the loan, the Water Fund is projected to end the year with a net deficit of approximately $531,040.

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 $1,768,820 for FY 2027. Payment for debt service is allocated to the various departmental budgets in the General Fund, Water Fund and certain long‐term 14 FY 2026-27 BUDGET

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 2024, 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. The purpose of the policy is to reduce financial risk and enhance the accuracy and transparency of the City’s financial reporting.

GENERAL FUND BALANCE FY 2023-24 FY 2024-25 FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27 Unassigned - Available $ 2,481,052 $ 3,066,630 $ 2,601,203 $ 2,023,241 Assigned - Capital Projects Reserve 2,500,000 - - -

City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
The City strives to maintain target reserve levels in accordance with its Reserve Policy.

Currently, the Emergency and Economic Uncertainty Reserve is below its target by $241,068, and the Retiree Benefit Obligations Reserve is short of its target by $10.6 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-ofliving 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.

The Emergency and Economic Uncertainty reserves will be replenished to their target levels using the FY 2025–26 year-end surplus, along with any available 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.

The Water Fund reserve will require additional strategies, including but not limited to a fee study to determine full cost recovery rates.

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 operate with lean staffing levels to maintain fiscal stability. With revenue stabilization between FY 2023 and FY 2025, the City restored limited staffing resources to support service delivery and growing operational demands, increasing authorized full-time positions from 93 to 97.

While the City’s financial condition remains stable in FY 2026–27, the City continues planning for future operational and financial challenges through ongoing efficiency efforts and cost-control initiatives. As part of these efforts, authorized full-time staffing decreased slightly from 97 to 96 positions in FY 2026 and FY 2027, and part-time hours were reduced from 218,766 to 156,729 and further reduced to 150,075 in FY 2027. These reductions reflect the transition of the STAR program to the School District, operational adjustments based on historical utilization, and the City’s continued efforts to align Categories Base Target Current Excess/(Shortfall)

resources efficiently while maintaining essential services.

The table below illustrates the City’s historical staffing levels.

Based on the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI), which reflects general living expenses, Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA) are an important tool for maintaining competitiveness with regional labor markets and attracting and retaining a high-quality workforce. As of February 2026, the CPI for the Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim area rose by 2.9%, and to $3.4% in March 2026. Given the increase in CPI, combined with below-market compensation ranges for many positions, staff recommends a 4.0% COLA for all employees and a 2.9% for the City Manager (per contract amendment). These adjustments are reflected in the departmental budgets and are proposed to take effect in the first pay period that includes July 1, 2026:
• 2.9% COLA for City Manager (estimated cost: $9,900)
• 4.0% COLA for all Full-time employees (estimated cost: $485,500) • 4.0% COLA for all Part-time employees (estimated cost: $153,000) • Authorized positions:
▪ Account Specialist frozen for FY 27
▪ Building and Safety Inspector frozen for FY 27
Additionally, included in the FY 2026-27 budget, we propose bringing all employees who are currently more than 10% below market to at 10% below market. The total estimated cost for these adjustments is $132,300.

DEPARTMENTAL HIGHLIGHTS
The chart below shows the estimated expenditures for the City's operations by department. The total proposed general fund operating budget is $49.4 million. The following sections will describe some of the departmental highlights and provide insight into the FY 2026‐27 operating budget.

FY 2026-27 ADOPTED EXPENDITURES – GENERAL FUND
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
The 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. Its total operating budget is approximately $18.6 million, reflecting an increase of $117,986 over the FY 2026-27 budget. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the cost of the sworn patrol services provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The proposed budget reinforces the City’s ongoing commitment to public safety and supports professional and community-based law enforcement services for our residents.

The Sworn Patrol Services Division funds contracts with LASD for law enforcement personnel, patrol units, contractual services, and equipment to support daily patrol Council & Commissions

operations. The budget for sworn services is approximately $11.6 million for FY 2026-27.

This includes a 2.3% increase in Deputy Sheriff services and 2.56% for Sergeant level personnel. LASD has not yet finalized the annual rates for the other sworn personnel positions. The liability surcharge on Sheriff’s services will also rise to 14.5%, up from 13% of our total contract cost last year. These increases are based on the annual actuarial study and the current financial condition of the Liability Trust Fund.

We will continue to fully fund key supplemental law enforcement positions, including five Special Assignment Officers (SAOs), one Youth Activities League (YAL) Deputy, a Detective Specialist, seven Community Service Officers (CSOs), and a Community Service Officer Supervisor. Traffic enforcement, street racing enforcement, and crime suppression patrols will remain central to our deployment strategy. Funding for a dedicated Traffic Motor Deputy and overtime will help address public safety concerns, allowing law enforcement to identify issues, enhance enforcement, and promote a safer community.

We will also continue to use new technology to address illegal street racing. This year, we allocated $75,000 for 20 license plate readers and six intersection surveillance cameras, and $109,000 for a drone as a first responder program. These tools provide law enforcement with real-time data and live feeds, helping direct deputies to active incidents and offering valuable investigative leads after crimes occur.

Due to the County’s Contract Growth Moratorium, municipalities cannot add resources such as additional deputies for proactive crime prevention. As a result, Paramount will continue to contract with private security to support neighborhood safety. For FY 2026- 27, the City plans to renew its agreement with Southwest Patrol Inc. for $500,400. This agreement covers Neighborhood Patrol Services, Park Supervision Services, Metal Detector Screening Services, and a part-time dedicated Supervisor, providing effective deterrence and prevention in response to crime trends.

We will also maintain our partnership with the City of Lakewood to share the cost of the Deputy District Attorney under the Community Prosecutor Program, with each city contributing $207,800. The Deputy District Attorney acts as a liaison with court officials, ensuring the City’s position is always accurately and effectively represented. They also assist with quality-of-life issues by working with property owners to resolve problems and address nuisances.

Public Safety staff reviewed the crossing guard services contract with All City Management Services, Inc. (ACMS) and for FY 2026-27, the hourly rate will increase from $31.05 to $32.90. ACMS will provide 13,095 service hours at a total cost of $430,900 to the City with the Paramount Unified School District funding an additional $50,100 under an existing crossing guard services memorandum of understanding.

We are committed to funding public safety programs that improve our community’s quality of life. The Community Preservation Division leads initiatives that promote investment in social services and in the upcoming fiscal year, we have allocated $584,750 to secure 18 beds at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, $245,200 from the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program, and $201,400 from the HOME-ARP funding for Family Promise of 20 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
Los Angeles to provide homeless prevention support. In 2025, the Public Safety Department provided temporary housing for 67 homeless individuals at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, and the Community Preservation Manager engaged with 88 homeless residents utilizing these programs. The City Net Census 2025 Homeless Count identified 29 unsheltered adults, a 33% decrease from the previous year, demonstrating that these funds are having a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of Paramount’s unhoused population.

Community engagement is essential for raising awareness for public safety issues and empowering residents to participate in solution creation and the decision-making process.

For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the Public Safety Department will continue this engagement through Neighborhood Watch, Business Watch, and outreach events such as 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 $5.9 million, representing 8.3% of the City’s total operating budget.

The FY 2026-27 budget remains relatively consistent with the prior fiscal year budget of $5.8 million. While the City no longer operates the STAR After School Program and the associated grant funding has been removed from the budget, overall department expenditures remain stable due to the continued funding of core programs and services.

The budget reflects a conservative spending approach with only modest increases related to inflationary and contractual cost adjustments.

The budget also includes the transit program operated by Long Beach Transit for fixed‐ route and college‐bound bus services. Also included are the contracts with Fiesta Taxi/Ride Yellow and Go-Go Grandparent for point‐to‐point transit services for our elderly and disabled communities. In addition, $38,700 funded by the Equipment Replacement Fund, was budgeted to replace outdated and needed equipment for the sports/Aquatics programs, special event equipment, and parks/facilities amenities, and equipment.

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 adult sports 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 Halloween 21 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
Festival, the 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 third year providing aquatics services to the City. Premier Aquatics will continue overseeing critical aspects of our aquatics program, 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 FY 2022-23, 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 2026‐27 budget for the Public Works Department is $15.6 million which makes up 21.9% 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 levels remain the same while supply and maintenance service costs have increased due to various factors including cost adjustments 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 than the prior 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 continue to add funding in the Capital Improvement Program for project management services through our engineering contract that will allow us to implement and construct projects as outlined in our robust Capital Improvement Program.

Water Operations
The Public Works Department also manages three divisions under the Water Enterprise 22 FY 2026-27 BUDGET

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 groundwater to meet 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.

Planning and Building
The Planning and Building Department includes Administration (Planning Division) and is responsible for three other divisions: Development Services (Building and Safety Division), Residential Rehabilitation (Housing), 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 Clearwater Specific Plan, the Public Art Master Plan, and Transit-Oriented Development (SB 79) 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 for first-time homebuyers led by Planning and Building) and the Rental Assistance Program (led by Public Safety). Congressional community project funding in the amount of $1 million to repair and replace qualifying single‐family home roofs to support solar panels from the previous year is still active.

The FY 2026‐27 budget for the Planning and Building Department is approximately $6.9 million, which accounts for 9.8% of the total City operating budget. The budget includes the first comprehensive General Plan update since 2007. For Fiscal Year 2026‐27, the Planning and Building Department will continue the Driveway Expansion Program, continue refurbishing fences and structures along alleys to complement planned alley repaving projects, 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 Voices of Paramount oral history project and the beginning of a historic preservation ordinance. The Planning and Building Department is the lead department for ensuring quality private development, construction, and community benefits for key projects such as the refinery conversion, Entrada housing project, Lindsay Lumber (“Paramount Square”) commercial redevelopment, a Go Store It self-storage project on Garfield and Petterson, and upcoming projects that include a digital billboard and another self-storage project. Other work includes facilitating the Public Art Advisory Committee and improving properties near alleys through the Alley Beautiful Program.

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. Finally, the Planning Division staff will continue administering the comprehensive air monitoring network and add improvements to the monitoring equipment. 23 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
General Government
General Government includes City Council and Commissions, City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney, Community Promotion, Administrative Services, and Finance. The FY 2026- 27 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 2025-26 is $68.0 million; the majority of these projects will be carried over to FY 2026‐27. The capital improvement budget for FY 2026‐27 is $17.3 million.

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 resurface Orange Ave. from Cortland Ave. to Century Blvd, construct the traffic circle with stormwater related features on Hunsaker Avenue by North Atlantic Place, as well as alley improvements, which will minimally include the alley west of Paramount Boulevard, between 70th Street and Harrison Street to complement the newly developed area. Work will also 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 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.

We will continue to complete median enhancements along major corridors, which are funded by the bond issuance the City executed last fiscal year. Median enhancements this year will cover the remaining section of Rosecrans Avenue and Garfield Avenue, as well as Alondra Boulevard. Additional median segments will be incorporated in the following fiscal year.

This $17.3 million budget for Capital Improvement Projects includes an extensive list of new and ongoing projects. The major sources of these projects include $679,000 from the Capital Project Fund, $16.0 million from various grant funds, $553,000 from the Water Fund, and $150,000 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 24 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Budget Message
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, particularly amid ongoing economic uncertainty and evolving financial pressures. While the economy has stabilized in some areas following the global pandemic, challenges such as inflation, slowing revenue growth, and broader economic uncertainty continue to impact local governments and long-term financial planning.

Given these circumstances, the Proposed FY 2026–27 Budget is built on conservative revenue projections, cautious spending assumptions, and the implementation of various cost-saving initiatives. Despite these challenges, the City remains committed to maintaining essential services and programs for the community, with a continued emphasis on public safety, infrastructure investment, and fiscal responsibility.

The Proposed Budget reflects the City’s ongoing efforts to balance current operational needs while planning responsibly for the future. Staff will continue to monitor economic conditions closely and evaluate opportunities to improve operational efficiency, strengthen financial sustainability, and maintain the high level of service our residents expect.

MISSION STATEMENT
The budget we are presenting provides a financial outline for FY 2026‐27. 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. 25 FY 2026-27 BUDGET

City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview

BUDGET OVERVIEW
The City of Paramount utilizes multiple techniques to forecast recurring revenues and expenditures. Under the direction of the City Manager, the Finance Department prepares revenue estimates with input from all operating departments. Forecasting methods include trend analysis, judgmental forecasting, and expert consultation. Trend analysis incorporates historical fiscal performance and projected data, adjusted for known past, current, and anticipated anomalies.

The City also relies on expert opinions from HdL Companies, HdL Coren & Cone, Avenue Insights & Analytics, and various state and federal agency reports. The financial outlook presented reflects professional judgment informed by analytical models, anticipated legislative and development impacts, and national, state, and local economic conditions that may influence revenue sources.

The City continues to prioritize key strategies to enhance revenue stability and growth.

These include achieving full cost recovery, evaluating service levels and the delivery of services, and leveraging technology to support organizational growth and increasing service demands.

The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and accounts for discretionary revenue sources such as property tax, sales tax, franchise fees, and business license tax. This section begins with an overview of the General Fund, followed by discussions of other major funds used by the City.

GENERAL FUND

GENERAL FUND REVENUES
Table 1 above summarizes and compares actual General Fund revenues from FY 2016– 17 through FY 2024–25, as well as estimated revenues for FY 2025–26 and FY 2026–

27. General Fund revenues include taxes, fines, user fees, and other revenue sources, such as administrative reimbursements from the Water Fund.

Combined, sales tax, transactions and use tax (Measure Y), property tax, utility users tax, franchise tax, and business tax account for approximately 87% of total General Fund revenues. Sales tax, Measure Y, and Motor Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenues continue to be the primary revenue sources for the General Fund, representing approximately 60% of total revenues.

Paramount began receiving Measure Y revenues in FY 2020–21, increasing total General Fund revenues by 15.5% that year. For FY 2026–27, Measure Y is projected to account for approximately 15% of total General Fund revenues. Actual General Fund revenues increased by 93% between FY 2016–17 and FY 2024–25, representing an average annual growth rate of approximately 10% over the eight-year period. $ 0 M

City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
General Fund revenues are projected to increase by 1.5% in FY 2026–27, from an estimated $48.1 million in FY 2025–26 to $48.8 million in FY 2026–27. While economic uncertainties are expected to continue into the coming year, Paramount is fortunate that FY 2026–27 revenue projections remain relatively stable and comparable to FY 2025–

26. Sales Tax and Transactions and Use Tax (Measure Y)
The chart below breaks out Paramount’s 10.50% Sales Tax Rate.

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.

45.8%

16.7%
31 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
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 Measure Y 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 FY26 and FY27 sales tax revenues are anticipated to decline slightly compared to the prior year actuals. State Statewide sales tax trends are expected to slightly increase by 2.2%. Among the industries, fuel and service stations are anticipated to gain the largest increase by 3.9%. General retail, construction and business to business are also expected to slightly increase for FY27.

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 $ 0 M

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 chart below breaks out the Property Tax General Lev of 1%:

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 55% between FY17 and FY25, with an average 6% increase annually.

City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
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 2% in FY25 and 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 35% between FY17 and FY25, with an average 4% increase annually.

City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
For FY26 and FY27, UUT revenue are estimated to be at $5.3 million and $5.5 million respectively, which represents 5.4% and 4.4% 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.

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.

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.

BUSINESS LICENSE TAX
36 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
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 an estimated $1.6 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 that are renewing each year or obtaining a new license.

User Fees
User fee revenues consist of charges for services provided by the Planning & Building 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 19.5% in FY25 and decreasing an another 30% 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.

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.
37 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
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.

Total General Fund year-end expenditures are estimated to be $47.9 million for FY26 and budgeted at $49.4 million for FY27. The most significant increase was in salaries and benefits due to COLA and benefit enhancements; however, these increases are partially offset by cost-saving initiatives.

Salaries & Fringe Benefits
Personnel costs represent 37% of the City’s total General Fund expenditure for FY27.

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 FY26 to FY27. In FY26 and FY27, the City allowed employees to cash out their $0M

accrued leave balance to eliminate the City’s long-standing liability that has accumulated over many years. Management makes efforts to keep overtime expenditures low, with the majority of costs relating to public safety and public works emergency service.

The City provides health care, dental, and vision benefits for its full-time employees. Total Fringe Benefits are increasing by $202,000, or 3%, from FY26 to FY27. While the costs continue to increase year over year, staff frequently evaluate plan options to ensure Paramount provides the most cost-effective healthcare. Other benefit costs include life insurance, disability insurance, unemployment, workers’ compensation, and Medicare expenditures. The table below presents details of the salary and fringe benefit costs.

The City contributes to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), covering the employer’s share for both Classic and PEPRA Plan members. The employer contribution rate is 15.33% through June 30, 2026, and will decrease to 15.31% effective July 1, 2026. In November 2021, the City issued a Pension Obligation Bond (POB) to refinance and reduce pension costs. The result is both a reduction in annual CalPERS payment, as well as a reduction in the total unfunded actuarial liability.

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 $0M

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.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff contract increases by an average of 5% annually and represents one of the City’s largest contracts. The contract amount is $10.6 million for FY 2025–26 and $11 million for FY 2026–27.

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.

Paramount has been increasing contract services and professional services thanks to the City’s increased General Fund revenues. However, for FY 27, the City has slightly reduced contract and professional services expenditures to remain fiscally conservative in response to the projected revenue decline. Details of these services can be found in the departmental budget detail pages. The utilization of contractual services allows the City to make quick financial adjustments if the economy recedes. $0M

Capital Projects
Due to the passage of Measure Y, the City has increased its commitment to capital projects throughout town. Since FY22, the City has renovated and improved various city parks, bus shelters, medians, streets and sidewalks throughout the City. In FY23, the City achieved a one-time General Fund savings of $7.7 million by utilizing ARPA funds to offset public safety expenditures. This one-time savings leads to an increase in the General Fund balance for FY23, which the City spent on FY24 through FY 26 capital projects. In the chart below, the brown bars represent capital project expenses within the General Fund. The blue bars for FY24 through FY 26 represent transfers from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund.

No General Fund transfer to the Capital Projects Fund is proposed in FY 2026–27.

Instead, the FY 2026–27 Capital Improvement Program is funded through previously transferred funds and savings identified within existing capital projects that were reallocated to support new project appropriations. The City also continues to pursue revenue enhancement opportunities and alternative funding sources to provide resources for future capital improvement projects and address ongoing infrastructure needs throughout the community.

Other General Fund Expenditures
All other expenditures include maintenance of equipment, facilities, parks, and streets.

Capital outlay includes computer equipment, vehicles, general office equipment, and furniture. Paramount is increasing maintenance & replacement equipment expenditures to meet the City’s vision/mission statement goal of developing and maintaining Cityowned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and attractiveness of the community. This chart also include utility expenses, rent/lease, economic development programs, community program/funding, and debt service.

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 $210.5M 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 27, $1.7 million is budgeted for principal and interest payments, funded by both the General Fund and the Water Fund, as outlined below.

The City has two long-term loans through the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank) to fund water infrastructure improvements. The first loan, issued in 2010 for $5.5 million, supports water treatment upgrades and is scheduled for repayment by 2039 at a 3.31% interest rate. The second loan, issued in 2018 for $6.7 million through IBank’s Infrastructure State Revolving Fund Program, will be repaid by 2047 at a 3.03% interest rate. Both loans are repaid using revenues from the Water Fund revenues. For FY 27, the Water Fund includes a budget allocation of $642k for the repayment of principal and interest, as outlined below. 42 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Budget Overview
Additionally, in December 2023, the City entered into a $11.2 million loan agreement with Banc of America Public Capital Corp to finance the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meter project. The loan will be repaid over 20 years at a fixed interest rate of

4.85%. The loan is being repaid using revenues from the Water Fund. In FY 27, a total of $905k has been allocated for the repayment of principal and interest, as outlined below.

Additionally, in September 2025, the Paramount Public Financing Authority issued $9.6 million in Local Measure M Transportation Sales Tax Revenue Bonds to finance median enhancement projects throughout the City. The bonds are secured by the City's Measure M transportation sales tax revenues and are repaid from those dedicated revenues rather than General Fund resources. In FY 27, a total of $600k has been allocated for the repayment of principal and interest, as outlined below. 43 FY 2026-27 BUDGET

CITY PROFILE

CITY PROFILE AND 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 49 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA City Profile
to meet them head on. Through the dedicated efforts of government officials, residents, the faith-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 50 FY 2026-27 BUDGET

City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines

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.
63 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines

BUDGET GUIDELINES

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.

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 year‐ 64 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines
to‐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 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. 65 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines
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 funds. Each activity’s budget consists of two categories: Maintenance & Operation (M&O), and Salaries & Benefits. Expenditures may exceed appropriations in one program within an activity, provided that total expenditures remain within the activity’s overall M&O and fund-level 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:

66 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines

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 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 67 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines
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 68 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines

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 multi-year capital plan. Long-term financial planning involves forecasting revenues, expenses, and key factors that have a financial impact on the organization. The City developed a preliminary forecast of revenues and expenditures to understand its trends and potential risk factors that may impact the City’s overall financial sustainability.

Budget Development – A Ten – Year Forecasting Journey
The first step towards achieving fiscal sustainability is developing an institution that establishes a culture of fiscal accountability. Long-range financial plan and forecasting create a set of building blocks, based on the ability to improve a subsequent year’s budget based on progress made in the previous year.

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

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

The following General Fund operating budget forecast excludes capital improvement projects. The assumptions 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 section of this budget document, the future year numbers beyond FY27 are for planning purposes and the City is only adopting a one-year budget: FY27.

City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines

PURCHASING POLICY
The City’s purchasing policies are designed to ensure that all expenditures are conducted in a transparent, efficient, and fiscally responsible manner. Departments must follow the City’s adopted Purchasing Ordinance and related administrative procedures when procuring goods, services, and equipment. These requirements promote competitive pricing, fairness in vendor selection, and compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Purchases must be made within the department’s approved budget and in alignment with the City’s purchasing thresholds, which determine the level of quotes or bids required.

Certain purchases may also require additional review or approval, including those related to professional services, capital projects, or federally funded programs.

All procurement activities must be documented appropriately, including quotes, purchase orders, contracts, and invoices, and must adhere to the City’s internal controls.

Department Directors are responsible for ensuring that all purchasing activities within their departments comply with City policies and support the efficient and effective use of public funds.
71 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines

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.
72 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines

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:

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;
Liquidity – The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet its cash flow requirements;
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. 73 FY 2026-27 BUDGET
City of Paramount, CA Policies & Guidelines

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.

CITY COUNCIL / COMMISSIONS
Organizational Chart
City Council / Commissions Narrative
The City Council is composed of five members who are elected by the voters of Paramount for fouryear, 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 direction 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.

Department Narrative
The Public Safety Department is committed to safeguarding the lives and property of City residents by coordinating services with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Disaster Management Area E, and the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority. Together, these agencies provide comprehensive law enforcement, fire protection, rescue, and animal control services. Furthermore, the Department is responsible for overseeing the operations of the Paramount Sheriff’s Station, the Community Service Officer Program, Code Enforcement, crossing guard services, local parking regulations, Neighborhood Watch, and the City’s Emergency Preparedness operations. [31-11] PUBLIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION
The Public Safety Administration Division manages services from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, oversees the City’s Emergency Preparedness programs and security rebate initiatives, and provides direct oversight of the Community Service Officer (CSO) program, Code Enforcement program, and Community Preservation program.

The Division also acts as the liaison between the City and the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

The City is served by a fully equipped fire station, which responds annually to approximately 250 fire and miscellaneous calls, 7,700 rescue incidents, and 2,150 fire code inspections. [31-21] SWORN PATROL
The Sworn Division delivers law enforcement services through the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The City ensures a dedicated team of deputies serves Paramount throughout the year.

The Division includes supplemental positions: a Service Area Lieutenant, Special Assignment Sergeant, four Special Assignment Officers (SAOs), one Motor Deputy, and one Youth Activities League (YAL) Deputy. Under this division, the Sheriff's Department delivers approximately 43,680 hours of sworn police protection, 6,840 hours of traffic enforcement, and additional supplemental patrols that directly address quality-of-life issues and actively prevent crime.

Narrative
[72-11] Debt Service Admin (GF)
State statues 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.
