City of Pleasant Hill Biennial Budget Fiscal Year 26/27 & Fiscal Year 27/28 ii
June 15, 2026
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers:
I submit to you and the residents of Pleasant Hill the Fiscal Years 2026/2027 – 2027/2028 (FY 26/27 – FY 27/28) Biennial Budget. The City is nearing a critical financial moment in the coming years even though we have been a responsible steward in managing its finances over the last decade. The City’s General Fund Balance has grown over the last several years due to improved sales tax revenues, the passage of Measure K to assist with infrastructure needs, and salary savings from vacant positions. The key issue is that costs are outpacing revenue growth due to the higher pension costs that are not within City control and are unlikely to be offset by modest revenue growth and budget savings. The Biennial Budget reflects a balance of managing costs within our control, anticipating slow to moderate revenue increases, maintaining current service levels, and continuing efforts to meet the community’s needs and City Council’s goals. The City will need to use General Fund reserves to balance the budget as costs rise faster than current moderate revenue growth and may need to consider additional cost reductions.
Unfortunately, the use of General Fund reserves is not sustainable, and additional revenue measures and/or service reductions will need to be considered.
Budget Adoption Process
The City operates on a two-year (biennial) budget. Through the budget, the Council authorizes City staff to collect revenues and make expenditures. The City’s budget adoption process has the following main steps:
■ The City Council assesses community priorities and adopts goals; ■ City staff forecasts the revenues expected and expenditures anticipated over the next two years; ■ City staff creates a proposed budget based on Council’s priorities and presents the budget to the Budget Committee; and
■ The Council gathers public input, deliberates, amends, and adopts the budget prior to July 1.
City Council Goals
The Council revisits and updates its goals every two years in association with the budget process. The Council held its goal setting community workshop in
February 2026. The following goals were adopted:
■ A City that is safe;
■ A City that is financially sound;
■ A City that is attractive, well-planned, and well-maintained; ■ A City that supports a high quality of life for its residents; and ■ A City that provides efficient and effective public services.

Financial Environment
City staff analyzed the City’s financial environment and forecasted expected revenues and expenditures for the next five years – two budget years, plus three years beyond.
The City’s General Fund Balance (not including Measure K) has grown from $10.8 million in FY 18/19 to nearly $16.2 million in FY 24/25. General Fund revenues averaged growth of 4.4% from FY 15/16 to FY 24/25, while expenditures grew an average of 4.3% during that same period. This is through a combination of economic improvement, changes in online sales tax revenue due to the Wayfair decision, savings due to vacancies attributable both to retirements of long-tenured staff, and federal funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to assist with financial recovery due to the pandemic. The City Council understood the need to reserve funds and created a pension trust in May 2022, by contributing $1.0 million of the General Fund reserve to assist with future pension liabilities and a Pension Rate Stabilization Funding Policy to provide additional funds when revenue exceeds expense. The City Council has approved contributions of an additional $900 thousand over the last three years to the pension trust, which was more than the required policy minimum. As of March 2026, the trust has accrued interest income of $350 thousand, and the balance is approximately $2.3 million.
Even with these positive steps, the unfunded pension liability continues to increase at a much faster pace than the assumed revenue growth and interest earned on the pension trust. The unfunded pension expense has grown from $2.3 million in FY 18/19 to $5.1 million in FY 25/26. The budget for this cost for FY 26/27 is $5.5 million and is estimated to increase to $6.0 million in FY 28/29.
The City’s main revenue source is sales tax revenue, which comprises approximately 34% of General Fund revenue and has experienced historic growth in the last few fiscal years due in part to online City of Pleasant Hill Biennial Budget Fiscal Year 26/27 & Fiscal Year 27/28 iv
shopping. The estimated sales tax revenue for FY 25/26 is $10.7 million, while the budget for FY 26/27 and FY 27/28 is $10.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively. This vital revenue source is growing again after a decrease in the last couple of fiscal years, even though some of this was expected. The purchasing power during the pandemic could not be sustained, since it was partially funded by onetime federal recovery funds, consumers purchasing more goods online, and high demand for new vehicles due to supply chain shortages. Also, the City lost a couple of large brick and mortar retailers in the downtown, though the property owner is actively seeking new tenants and one large retail space will be filled with the opening of a Japanese grocery store in later half of 2026. Looking ahead, sales tax revenue is projected to grow 1.2% in FY 26/27 and 2.8% in FY 27/28, as purchases of goods and fuel and service stations sectors continue to rise modestly, but will be impacted by recent geopolitical events.
Property tax revenue is historically a stable revenue source since residential property represents 91% of the City’s parcels and has grown an average of 6% annually, given rising home values and inflation (Proposition 218 caps inflation growth at 2%). This is the City’s second highest revenue source and constitutes approximately 30% of the General Fund. Property tax is expected to grow 2.5% in FY 26/27 to 3.3% in FY 27/28 based on sales of homes, for which the median price has risen modestly.
This is less than the previous average, as higher interest rates and higher median prices of singlefamily homes have resulted in fewer home sales. Also, commercial property values have been declining, and reassessments are averaging 20%-25% lower, but thisrepresents only 1.5% of the City’s total parcels (publicly held parcels – e.g., schools, parks – account for most of the remainder). Finally, the City has recaptured most of the revenue previously lost to reductions in assessed valuation during the Great Recession.
The economic impact of the pandemic is largely behind us, though the City continues to feel the impact of fewer people travelling for business and leisure. The City’s annual hotel revenue was expected to reach nearly $3.0 million prior to the pandemic, predicated upon the opening of a new hotel in late 2018 and revenues that reached $2.5 million in FY 18/19; however, hotel revenue decreased to $1.6 million in FY 20/21. This revenue source has improved slowly and has hovered around $2.2 million in the last several fiscal years. Based on current estimates of $2.1 million for FY 25/26, the City is budgeting that same amount for the next few years until there is evidence of a sustained increase in hotel revenue.
The City has taken positive steps as described above, but Pleasant Hill faces a fiscal challenge and needs to strive for revenue opportunities and expenditure savings.
Biennial Budget
Staff’s priority in preparing the budget was to maintain current service levels and make targeted additional investments responsive to the community’s priorities and the City Council’s goals. The main characteristics of the FY 26/27 – FY 27/28 Biennial Budget are the following:
■ Modest but consistent revenue growth;
■ Continuation of existing levels of public services and staffing; and ■ Modest inflationary growth for most expenditures, except significant growth in employee benefit and fuel costs
The budget is organized in the following six sections:
City of Pleasant Hill Biennial Budget Fiscal Year 26/27 & Fiscal Year 27/28 v
■ Background;
■ Departmental budgets;
■ General Fund budget information;
■ Other (Non-General Fund) City funds budget information; ■ Five-year forecast; and
■ Appendix.
The City is expecting General Fund revenues will total $32.1 million in FY 26/27 and increase to $33.0 million in FY 27/28. General Fund expenditures are higher than revenues, totaling $36.2 million in FY 26/27 and $37.6 million in FY 27/28. The proposed budget is projecting that the General Fund Balance will be $10.1 million in FY 26/27 and $5.5 million in FY 27/28.
Five-Year Forecast
The City traditionally creates a five-year revenue and expenditure forecast as part of the budget.
Overall, the forecast shows that, if no intervention is taken, faster growing expenditures will outpace modestly increasing revenues, resulting in a structural deficit and requiring the use of General Fund reserves (fund balance). General Fund Balance will continue to decline from +$16.2 million to -$10.4 million based on the forecast.

Future Challenges and Uncertainty
Even with continued economic growth in the City’s
revenue categories, there are still challenges and
uncertainty ahead. City staff has already reviewed and
have tried to reduce or allocate costs where reasonable for personnel, supply, and services to maintain the
current high level of public service. There have been
significant increases to the cost of the City’s CalPERS unfunded liability, and insurance costs continue to be
high due to natural disasters and nationwide legal settlements related to public safety. The City has tried to contain costs within its control, but these required expenditures are not necessarily within staff nor City Council’s control and must be paid. Unlike many other public agencies, one area in which the City is not facing rising costs relates to post-retirement health care, since the City does not provide that benefit.
The City, like many other municipalities, deferred investments in capital assets during the Great Recession because of state funding reductions. To address the need, Pleasant Hill voters passed Measure K in 2016, which has enabled an additional investment of $52 million since inception in the City’sroads, buildings (i.e. Pleasant Hill Library), sidewalks, and other infrastructure to maintain the safe, attractive condition that characterizes the community and to which residents and businesses are accustomed.
Further, additional funding from Contra Costa Transportation Authority Measure J and other transportation taxes through the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) and the Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall) will provide needed funding for streets and roads and other transportation uses. The City continues to prioritize projects and programs through the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, since there is insufficient funding to address all needs, and will continue to seek grant opportunities to complete them, such as Metropolitan Transportation Commission Transportation Development Act Fund (TDA).
Conclusion
The FY 26/27 – FY 27/28 Biennial Budget maintains current service levels, attempts to mitigate the impact of rising costs, and makes targeted investments responsive to community priorities and City Council goals. The City’s budgeted costs will outpace revenues, and it will be difficult for budget savings and modest revenue increases to offset them. The City will continue to manage costs responsibly and within the resources available, but the challenge for Pleasant Hill and many municipalities will remain those rising costs beyond City control, including unfunded pension liability due to CalPERS and insurance premiums tied to natural disasters and current state law. City staff and I look forward to implementing the many excellent services and programs this budget supports, but it is essential to find solutions that secure sustainable financial stability in the near and long term.

ABOUT THE CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Incorporated in 1961, Pleasant Hill is a modern and dynamic city in the East Bay Area of San Francisco. Centrally located along Interstate 680 in Contra Costa County, it offers a strong sense of community and small town charm, yet boasts a vibrant business climate that attracts thousands of visitors.
The City’s roots can be traced to a growing farming community in the 1880’s and the opening of the Central Pacific Railroad through Diablo Valley in 1891. In 1911, an electric railroad passed through Pleasant Hill on its way to the Sacramento Valley.
Population growth accelerated after World War II, and the general area became more desirable for industry. The community gradually took shape as part of the suburban East Bay Area with residents keen on creating a unique identity for Pleasant Hill.
Residents of the Pleasant Hill area voted in 1959 against annexation into Walnut Creek. Two years later, on November 7, 1961, they voted to incorporate Pleasant Hill as a city and elected the first City Council. In 1964, Interstate 680 opened between Monument Boulevard and Willow Pass Road, completing the freeway from Oakland to Sacramento. This expanded the opportunity for residential and commercial development activity along the I-680 corridor.
A new City Hall was constructed in 1991, helping to cement the City’s identity and spur the redevelopment of the downtown area. Pleasant Hill Downtown opened in 2000, with more than 350,000 square feet of retail space, entertainment venues, restaurants, and a central plaza area for community gatherings and events.
Community pride is strong in Pleasant Hill today, as the City provides a high quality of life through the services, activities, and programs, and services while we continue to collaborate with our neighbors and grow responsibly.

Public Works Department - Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts Assessment districts are special tax districts, created by a vote of property owners within the district, to fund capital improvements and maintenance services. Revenue is collected through assessments on property tax bills. The City has two assessment districts, AD20 and AD22, as described below.
Assessments paid by property owners are received in the City’s General Fund, then transferred to two special funds to account specifically for the revenues and expenditures of each assessment district separately.
Assessment District 20 (Commercial)
Commercial Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District 20 (AD20) was created by a vote of the property owners in 1988. The budget is the General Fund contribution to Commercial Landscaping and Lighting District 20 Fund, which accounts for assessments on commercial properties that pay for landscape, maintenance, street lighting, and sidewalk repair within commercial districts.
Please see the map that follows for the boundaries of Assessment District 20.
Assessment District 22 (Grayson Woods & Gallery Walk)
Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District 22 (AD22) was created by a vote of the property owners in 1997. The budget is the General Fund contribution to Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District 22 Fund, which accounts for assessments received from Grayson Woods and Gallery Walk property owners to pay for landscaping and lighting costs in these developments. The maps below identify the boundaries for AD22.
The proposed budgets are shown below. For further details regarding these districts, please see the Other (non-General Fund) Budget Information section of the budget document.

City of Pleasant Hill Biennial Budget Fiscal Year 26/27 & Fiscal Year 27/28 General Fund Budget Information 7070
GENERAL FUND REVENUE
General Fund revenues are expected to total $32.2 million in FY 26/27 and grow to $33.0 million in FY 27/28. Future revenues from sales tax, transactions and use tax, and property tax were forecasted using information provided by the City’s consultants, HdL Companies and HdL Coren & Cone (HdL).
Consistent with a modest forecast scenario, most other revenues are expected to grow at 3.0% annually for FY 26/27 and FY 27/28. City fees are expected to grow at least 2.5% based on the annual change in the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose metropolitan area as of February 2026 and updates to the Master Fee Schedule for full cost recovery.
Property Tax
Property Tax
Based on consultation with HdL, an experienced property tax consultant, property tax revenue is expected to grow to $4.6 million, an increase of 2.5% in FY 26/27; and $4.7 million, an increase of 3.3% in FY 27/28. The forecast assumes an average annual increase of 3.4% for FY 28/29 through FY 30/31.
The increase each year is due to higher assessed valuations on residential properties that have changed ownership, with a smaller portion due to the recapture of temporarily reduced valuations, partially offset by reduced assessed valuations on commercial properties.
Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fee
The motor vehicle license fee (VLF) is an annual tax on the ownership of registered vehicles collected by the State Department of Motor Vehicles and then distributed to cities and counties. In 2004, the State Legislature permanently reduced the tax rate from 2% to 0.65% of a vehicle’s current market value. The reduction in VLF revenue to cities and counties was offset by an increased transfer of property tax from the State to cities and counties. This transfer is called the “Property Tax in Lieu of VLF.” The City is forecasting ongoing increases to this revenue such that it will total $5.0 million in FY 26/27, with a further increase to $5.1 million in FY 27/28. The analysis and forecast is consistent with the Property Tax section described above.
Sales Tax and Transactions and Use Tax
Sales Tax
Based on projections provided by both HdL Companies and the City’s Economic Development Manager, sales tax is projected to be $10.7 million in FY 25/26, increase to $10.9 million in FY 26/27 and $11.2 million in FY 27/28. The assumption is based on the City’s past historical spending patterns, adjusting for online sales after the Supreme Court’s South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. decision, inflation, and the existing retail in the City. Online shopping revenue is deposited in the County pool and then allocated on a pro rata share of taxable sales in the City each quarter. The projection assumes growth in Fuel & Service Stations group and cooling of the Restaurants & Hotel sector with rising gas prices. HdL remains conservative and has not included filling vacant retail spaces such as Osaka Marketplace in Downtown Pleasant Hill. This will be amended during the mid-cycle process update once the City has actual sales tax revenue on any new businesses.
City of Pleasant Hill Biennial Budget Fiscal Year 26/27 & Fiscal Year 27/28 General Fund Budget Information 7171
Transactions and Use Tax (TUT)
Measure K, a half-cent transactions and use tax (TUT), was approved by Pleasant Hill voters in the November 2016 election. The tax became effective April 1, 2017, for a 20-year period. Based on projections provided by HdL Companies, TUT is projected to be $5.7 million in FY 26/27 and $5.8 million in FY 27/28. This is combined in the General Fund for reporting, but detail is shown as part of the Other City Funds section.
Other Taxes and Assessments
Franchise Fees
State law authorizes cities to grant franchises to utility and other companies for their use of the public right of way (streets, alleys, sidewalks, etc.) to locate utility lines or operate vehicles. The franchise fees are calculated as a percentage of the franchisee’s gross revenues earned from services delivered or performed by the franchisee within the City. The maximum gas and electric franchise rate is the greater of 1% on gas and electric adjusted gross revenue OR 2% of the asset investment base within the City, as set by California law. PG&E remits its payment annually in April based on revenues for the preceding calendar year. The City collects a franchise fee of 5% from cable operators (currently AT&T/Pacific Bell, Comcast and WAVE Broadband). The fee is calculated on gross revenues. Additionally, the City collects a 12% negotiated franchise fee from the City’s refuse collector, Republic Services. Franchise fee revenue is projected for $2.6 million in FY 26/27 and $2.7 million for FY 27/28, which is an annual increase of
3.0% year-over-year.
Transient Occupancy Tax
The City currently has seven hotels (Hyatt House, Sonesta Select, Residence Inn by Marriott, Hilton Homewood Suites, Extended Stay America, Sun Valley Inn, and Pleasant Hill Inn). These hotels collect and remit a 10% transient occupancy tax (TOT) to the City. The City Council authorized the establishment of the TOT by Ordinance No. 139 in 1965.
TOT revenues are still below pre-pandemic levels, as travel for business and leisure is still suppressed.
TOT revenues climbed to $2.5 million in FY 18/19 and were projected to reach $3.0 million, but TOT dropped to $1.6 million during the pandemic. This revenue source slowly recovered and has been around $2.2 million in the last several fiscal years. In FY 25/26, revenues for TOT are estimated at $2.0 million and the budget assumes no growth in FY 26/27 and FY27/28. The City continues to work with Visit Pleasant Hill which serves as the Tourism Improvement District to attract visitors to stay and experience Pleasant Hill.
City of Pleasant Hill Biennial Budget Fiscal Year 26/27 & Fiscal Year 27/28 General Fund Budget Information 7272
Business License Tax
Business license taxes are paid by individuals and entities for conducting business in Pleasant Hill and help pay for public services that contribute to a favorable business environment. The rate depends upon the category of the business. Some businesses (e.g., general contractors) have the option to pay a flat rate, but most pay the tax based on their gross receipts in the City of Pleasant Hill. The City Council authorized the establishment of the Business License Tax by Ordinance No. 33 in 1962.
The City processed approximately 3,200 active business licenses last year. Revenue in this category is expected to continue to increase slightly over past years and to continue to increase by the expected growth rate of inflation, approximately 3.0%, to $3.3 million in FY 26/27 and $3.4 million in FY 27/28.
Other Taxes
Other taxes include utility user’s tax (UUT) and property transfer tax. Utility user’s tax is a 1% tax levied on telephone service. The City Council authorized the establishment of the UUT by Ordinance No. 524 in 1983. Property transfer tax is collected on the sale of property at the rate of $0.275 for each $500 of sales price or portion thereof. The City Council authorized the establishment of the Property Transfer Tax by Ordinance No. 194 in 1967.
These revenue sources are lower than previous years, mainly due to rising mortgage rates causing fewer home sales even though home values have not decreased. These revenues are projected to be $0.27 million in FY 26/27 and increase to $0.28 million in FY 27/28.
Licenses and Permits
The revenue in this category comes from permits and fees collected. This category includes building, electrical, plumbing, and energy permits, primarily generated from construction-related activity. Permit and fee revenue for FY 25/26 is projected to be $1.69 million. Revenue for FY 26/27 and FY 27/28 is based on an annual 3% growth rate. The revenue is projected to be $1.74 million in FY 26/27 and $1.79 million in FY 27/28.
Fines and Forfeitures
The fines and forfeitures category primarily consists of public-safety related fines and forfeitures and traffic violations. The revenue in this category has been constant in the last several fiscal years at around $15 thousand. The City will continue to budget this revenue source at $15 thousand in FY 26/27 and FY 27/28.
City of Pleasant Hill Biennial Budget Fiscal Year 26/27 & Fiscal Year 27/28 General Fund Budget Information 7373
Use of Money and Property
The use of money and property category includes interest and dividend income on the City’s investment of fund balances, primarily General Fund working capital and reserves. The City’s financial institution is Bank of the Montreal (formerly Bank of the West). The City’s cash is primarily invested with the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and with Chandler Asset Management. Revenues in this category are forecasted to fluctuate depending upon the General Fund’s invested cash balance.
LAIF interest rates have climbed significantly over the last couple of years from 0.2% in December 2022 to a high of 4.6% in August 2024 as a tool to control inflation. In recent months, interest raised have cooled and is currently 3.8% in April 2026. Also, the City may need to use the Pension Trust in the coming fiscal years and if needed, this would decrease the cash balance and the interest earned.
Revenue in this category is projected at $715 thousand in FY 26/27 and $674 thousand in FY 27/28.
Intergovernmental
This category consists of revenue from other governmental agencies, such as mandated cost reimbursements and reimbursements for Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) from the State of California and includes California Statewide Communities Development Authority revenue from the Wood Creek Apartment public benefit agreement. This revenue source can fluctuate based on mandated costs since the State Budget determines how much the City receives even though the service are required to be performed. Revenue is expected to be $209 thousand in FY 26/27 and $210 thousand in FY 27/28.
Other Revenue
This category includes numerous “other” smaller revenues that do not fall within the above-mentioned categories. This also includes revenue that is currently unknown or unexpected, but the City receives (e.g., electric charging station, insurance proceeds, refunds). Revenues in this category are projected to remain fairly constant at $280 thousand for FY 26/27 and $281 thousand for FY 27/28.
Charges for Services
Revenues from charges for services mainly comprise of external reimbursements and fee-based payments for services. These revenues primarily include fees for police service and false alarm/renewal fees. This category also includes Planning and Engineering-related fees for services performed, such as planning and engineering review of development projects. This revenue has been adjusted based on the assumption of the adoption of the Master Fee Schedule, as discussed in the “Licenses and Permits” section above. Revenues are forecasted to be $453 thousand in FY 26/27 and $462 thousand in FY 27/28.
Transfers from Other Funds
This category consists of a transfer of $30 thousand annually from the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA) grant to the General Fund to offset various Police Department expenditures for FY26/27 and FY 27/28. In FY 25/26, this also includes the transfer of the remaining American Rescue Plan Act funds for governmental services for $640 thousand.

The major expenditure categories are discussed below. Staff budgeted salaries are projected to grow at 3.25% and most non-personnel expenditures are projected at 3.0% annually.
Personnel – Salaries and Benefits
Salaries
Salaries are budgeted to increase at 3.25% for FY 26/27 and FY 27/28 based on the Updated Long-Term Financial Plan since the approved Memorandum of Understanding agreements are set to expire this year. Salaries are budgeted to be $17.3 million in FY 26/27 and increase to $17.9 million in FY 27/28.
The budget assumes that a portion of salaries for some positions will continue to be funded by Capital Improvement and other Special Revenue Funds. The budget also assumes savings due to hiring freezes on certain positions, which will provide savings of $0.75 million in FY 26/27 and $0.77 million in FY 27/28.
Benefits – Retirement
Employee pension benefit costs were budgeted consistent with the most recent actuarial information provided by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). The City is required to make two types of contributions to CalPERS, one for new service credit earned by current employees (referred to as “normal cost”) and one to pay off unfunded liability related to service credit earned by employees in the past. The City’s normal cost contributions are $2.1 million in FY 26/27 and increase to $2.2 million in FY 27/28. Contributions toward unfunded liability grew from $5.1 million in FY 25/26 to $5.5 million in FY 26/27, and increase to $6.0 million in FY 27/28. The City Council approved a pension rate stabilization reserve in May 2022 by approving a Section 115 trust and making an initial deposit of $1.0 million. The Section 115 trust might be another tool to respond to pension increases as the balance of the trust as of March 2026 is approximately $2.3 million.
Benefits – Health Insurance and Other Benefits
For purposes of the biennial budget, staff assumed medical insurance premiums would increase 6% annually. Insurance costs are projected to be $1.6 million in FY 26/27 and increase to $1.7 million for FY 27/28. Workers Compensation insurance is expected to increase due to the market, which is projected to be $706 thousand in FY 26/27 and $776 thousand in FY 27/28. Other miscellaneous benefits, including dental insurance and vision insurance, are expected to increase by 3% annually.

Non-Personnel Expenditures
General Expenses
This category includes expenditures for postage, fuel, printing, memberships, publications, uniform allowance and other miscellaneous expenditures. The main increase in this category is rising fuel costs.
The projected expenditures are $909 thousand for FY 26/27 and $908 thousand for FY 27/28.
Professional and Contract Services
This category includes expenditures for specialized contract services such as legal, auditing, videotaping, and contracted animal control services. The expenditures for this category are expected to be $2.4 million for FY 26/27 and $2.3 million for FY 27/28. The slight decrease is related to election costs in FY 26/27.
Conferences and Training
This category includes expenditures for conferences and training, which are expected to range from approximately $259 thousand to $263 thousand FY 26/27 and FY 27/28. Conferences and training include customer service training and technical training such as the League of California Cities Planning Commissioners Academy and training from the California Public Employers Labor Relations Association.
Most of the training is required training for the Police Department for $156 thousand in FY 26/27 and $158 thousand in FY 27/28.
Maintenance and Repair
This category includes expenditures for relatively minor corrective repairs for City Hall, the Police building, and the Public Services Center. This also includes computer services and software programs that are essential to City services. These are budgeted for $1.3 million and $1.4 million during FY 26/27 and FY 27/28. These expenses are different from those related to the City’s major capital improvement efforts, which are detailed in the Capital Improvement Plan. The City’s annual contribution for capital repairs to City buildings is included in the transfer out category.
Supplies and Materials
This category includes expenditures for supplies and materials and projected to range from $351 thousand to $361 thousand during FY 26/27 and FY 27/28. Supplies include office supplies, computer supplies, landscape supplies, storm drain supplies, graffiti removal supplies, sign supplies, and expenditures for small tools.
Utilities
This category includes expenditures for utilities for City Hall, the Police Department building, and the Public Services Center. Utilities expenditures are budgeted for $650 thousand and $661 thousand for FY 26/27 and FY 27/28, which have risen significantly in the recent years due to rising rates.

Insurance
The City is a member of the Municipal Pooling Authority (MPA), a joint powers authority that provides self-insurance and insurance coverage against the risk of losses. Insurance premiums have risen due to public safety lawsuits nationwide, wildfires, and no limits on settlements in California. Insurance premiums are budgeted for $1.4 million in FY 26/27 and $ 1.5 million FY 27/28 for property, vehicle, and liability coverage. Insurance for workers’ compensation is included in the budget under the employee benefits category.
Promotions and Contributions
This category includes the budget for City Council annual grants to programs such as Meals on Wheels, the Senior Nutrition Program at Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District, Friends of Rodgers Ranch, Light Up the Night, and other programs such as Community Service Day. The budget will be $177 thousand for FY 26/27 and $173 thousand in FY 27/28.
Fixed Assets
This category covers expenditures for furniture and equipment, which are budgeted for $11 thousand annually for FY 26/27 and FY 27/28.
Transfer Out
This category includes transfers of funds out of the City’s General Fund into special funds established to specifically account for revenues and expenditures related to information technology, vehicles, the Capital Improvement Plan, and the assessment districts. The City has budgeted transfers of approximately $100 thousand annually for vehicle and equipment replacement; $550 thousand to $560 thousand annually for information technology; $100 thousand annually for capital repairs to City buildings; and $135 thousand to Assessment Districts 20 and 22 for landscaping and lighting improvements in those districts that benefit the general public.

Measure K Fund (Fund 103 & Fund 107)
This fund accounts for the proceeds of a one-half cent sales tax increase approved by the voters in November 2016 including the construction of the Library. The Measure K Fund is combined with the General Fund for financial reporting purposes.
As of July 1, 2025, the City had $121,211 in bond proceeds for the construction and completion of the new library. Even though the library has been open since July 30, 2022, there are a couple of open items such as equipment, signage, and creek monitoring that remain outstanding. Once all remaining open items are complete, any remaining bond proceeds must be used for a future debt service payment.
In Fiscal Year 2022/2023, the City Council authorized setting aside $75,000 annually for major maintenance issues in the future for the library, if any. The amount should be approximately $300,000 as of June 30, 2026. Public Works deems this as a sufficient maintenance reserve currently and will not appropriate additional funds in the Biennial Budget.

GENERAL FUND FIVE-YEAR FORECAST
The City traditionally creates a five-year revenue and expenditure forecast as part of the Biennial Budget.
The five-year forecast shows that the modestly increasing revenues will be outpaced by faster growing expenditures resulting in a deficit in FY 26/27 through FY 30/31 if no intervention is taken. The City has maintained a better financial position during the pandemic than originally anticipated due to improved sales tax revenues and staff vacancies (attributable to retirements and difficulty in hiring public safety personnel). The five-year forecast remains valuable in illustrating the impact of expected revenue and expenditure changes that will take place. It illustrates trends and highlights the impact of one significant expected expenditure increase: growing required contributions to the City’s unfunded pension liability.
The forecast assumes a 3% annual increase in revenues and expenditures for most categories except salaries, which assumes an increase of 3.25%. Also, sales tax and property tax projections were updated based on the most recent estimates provided by the City’s consultants. The tables below illustrate the General Fund five-year forecast by summary revenue and expenditure type, by department, and by detailed revenue and expenditure type.

procedures that are used to record, classify, and report information on an entity’s financial status and
