CITY COUNCIL
Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget & Capital Improvement Program, Including a Resolution Adopting an Amendment to the TransNet Local Street Improvement Program List of Projects for Fiscal Years 2024-25 through 2028-29 This report presents the Proposed Operating Budget & Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26. The proposed General Fund budget is balanced and maintains reserves at the levels identified in the City's General Fund Reserve Policy. Also included with this report is the City Council appointed Budget Review Committee's Report of Recommendations . Further included is a Resolution Adopting an Amendment to the TransNet Local Street Improvement Program List of Projects for Fiscal Years 2024-25 through 2028-29. Finally, th is report includes information regarding the Appropriations Limit as required by California Government Code Section 7910.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council take public input, close the public hearing, receive the Budget Review Committee Report, consider their recommendations, and adopt the Resolutions.

Discussion:

The annual budget provides the financial mechanism to carry out the City's work plan and provide services to residents. It is the single most important document City Council is asked to consider and approve annually. The operating budget supports public services such as law enforcement, fire protection, community services, street maintenance, water and wastewater, among others. The Capital Improvement Program allocates funding for projects that improve critical infrastructure such as parks, streets, sidewalks, drainage, water and sewer systems, and continues the City's investment in and enhancement of public facilities and community amenities. 1 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
The City is continuing to realize the benefits of recent cost recovery and cost reduction/containment actions taken by the previous City Council which positively impact the FY 2025-26 operating budget.

One of those actions was the issuance of pension obligation bonds in December 2021, which refinanced a substantial portion of the City's CalPERS unfunded accrued pension liability. Another example is the current five-year law enforcement services contract with the San Diego County Sheriffs Department which has historically been a source of substantial annual cost increases. Under the current contract which took effect on July 1, 2022, annual cost increases for each of the first two years of the agreement were 1.0%, with increases of 3.5% annually for each of the final three years beginning with FY 2024-25, thereby substantially reducing the annual cost impact this contract has historically had on the City's budget.

The FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget includes a cost saving measure to use unassigned General Fund dollars to pay off the 2012 refunding Certificate of Participation debt early in FY 2025-26, saving the City over $780,000 in costs in the process. These savings are the result of avoided interest costs versus paying off remaining amounts per the debt schedule through 2033 and investing those same funds over this period. Expending $6.2 million in General Fund dollars to realize these savings will also free up debt capacity in the future if needed, while also maintaining or improving on the City's credit rating to help reduce the interest costs associated with a potential future debt issuance. The City has benefitted from sound financial management practices for several decades, which in part is evidenced by the 2021 Pension Obligation Bond issuance at an excellent credit rating from credit rating agency Standard & Poor's of AA+ Stable. This helps save the City from unnecessary interest costs which could otherwise take away funding available to provide other city services. Finally, Poway's City Council adopted Financial Policy and industry best practices dictate the City cannot utilize the General Fund to pay for enterprise fund costs, such as for water or sewer related purposes. The Financial Policy states "Enterprise funds will not be subsidized by the General Fund".

Each of these changes were pursued to strengthen the long-term financial health of the City, the benefits of which are reflected in the proposed FY 2025-26 budget. In addition to these actions which positively impact the City's financial sustainability, there are more projects underway and being recommended as part of the proposed FY 2025-26 budget to further enhance the City long-term financial health. One such project close to completion is an update to the City's indirect cost allocation plan to ensure the appropriate allocation of costs are reflective of current City operations. Once the cost allocation plan is updated, the ongoing fee study will be finalized, focusing primarily on Development Services and Fire fees which were last updated in 2007. These actions will help ensure the City is properly recovering the cost of services provided by those benefiting from the services, thereby allowing City resources to be more efficiently directed towards other areas of benefit to the community.

The proposed budget includes funding for a study to update the City's various impact, mitigation, and in-lieu fees. Some of these fees have not been studied or updated in a number of years and are due for review to address the impact of new development on existing resources and infrastructure. The study will be completed by a third-party consultant with expertise in this area. Examples of these fees include traffic mitigation, park mitigation, habitat mitigation, housing in-lieu, and fire protection impact fees.

As discussed in the Water and Wastewater section of this report, staff is working with the City's rate consultant to bring forward for City Council consideration updates to the water and sewer service rates to ensure cost recovery (i.e. rate revenue) is in alignment with the cost of providing those services (i.e. City expenses). In January 2025 the City implemented the final year of the current four year water rate plan and authorized working with a third-party rate setting expert consultant group 2 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
to lead this cost-of-service study update. A future proposed 5-year rate adjustment will be brought forward for City Council consideration later in calendar year 2025, followed by the required Proposition 218 public protest hearing. This process will demonstrate that each ratepayer class is paying its proportionate share of costs and meeting each utility's ongoing operating expenditures, capital improvement needs, fund reserve policies, and regulatory requirements.

The City and the volunteer Landscape Maintenance District Advisory Group continue to work to address the financial sustainability of the City's landscape maintenance districts (LMDs).

Over the past several years, progress has been made to reduce the General Fund's financial support of the Poway Center for the Performing Arts (PCPA). At the June 17, 2025 City Council meeting, Council voted unanimously to support implementation of the PCPA Operational Analysis and Fee Study. Part of this analysis includes recommendations for several minor personnel adjustments, along with the utilization of a marketing consultant; these recommendations have been incorporated into the proposed budget. The proposed FY 2025-26 budget reflects cost sharing between the City and Poway Unified School District (PUSD) as outlined in the approved joint use agreement UUA). Per the terms of the JUA, the City and PUSD share in PCPA operating and capital costs. The PUSD cost shares 35% with the City for PCPA operations, maintenance and capital improvement project costs based on PUSD's share of facility use.

Proposed FY 2025-26 General Fund Budget
A summary of the FY 2024-25 adopted budget and the FY 2025-26 proposed budget is shown below.

While the FY 2024-25 adopted and FY 2025-26 proposed budgets reflect Net Activity of ($740,543) and ($3,453,140) respectively, included in the operating expenditures for each year is a required expenditure in the approximate amount of $1.76 million for the City's share of the initial phase of the Los Penasquitos Lagoon restoration project. This cost share payment was previously identified as a use of the unassigned fund balance as it is not an ongoing component of City operations. Annual cost share payments will be required at this level for this remaining year (FY 2025-26). Additionally for FY 2025-26 there is a noted early payoff of some long-standing debt to save over $780,000 (see above details on this debt payoff). With the Los Penasquitos cost being funded from the unassigned fund balance, the FY 2025-26 proposed General Fund budget is balanced when removing the noted early debt service payoff amount.

FY 2024-25 Adopted FY 2025-26 Proposed
Operating Revenues $63,419,061 $71,937,847
Non-Operating Revenues1 833,759 847,600 -------------'-----!--------------'--- Tot a I Revenues 64,252,820 72,785,447

Net Activity 2 ($740,543) ($3,453,140)

1. Non-operating revenues and expenditures include Programs/Capital Projects and Transfers/Loans. These total are the transfers in/out of the General Fund as shown in Attachment A, which net to $11,630,914 transferred out of the General Fund.

2. FY 2024-25 Adopted and FY 2025-26 Proposed amounts include the $1.76 million Los Penasquitos Lagoon restoration cost. The FY 2025-26 Proposed amount also includes a $6.8 million in transfers to pay for annual debt services along with retire the 2012 refunding Certificate of Participation bonds early savings the City over $780,000. 3 of257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
Property tax and sales tax revenues are key to the fiscal health of the General Fund, combined they are responsible for 69% of the General Fund revenues. Property tax revenues, which comprise 45% of the General Fund revenues, are projected to total $32.5 million in the General Fund, reflecting a

12.0% increase from the current fiscal year. This increase is reflective of FY 2024-25 actual revenues coming in higher than budgeted and this higher figure carrying into projected increases for next fiscal year. The City's property tax roll is expected to continue to reflect solid growth from changes in assessed valuation due to sale of existing homes, as well as new construction activity, and the 2.0% annual consumer price index adjustment applied in accordance with State law.

Sales tax revenue is projected to total $17.0 million in FY 2025-26, a 2.9% increase from the current fiscal year budgeted figure. This increase is in line with expectations forecasted by the City's retained property and sales tax consultant, Hdl, is seeing for Poway. Hdl also assisted with forecasting the City property tax revenues.

Other revenues, which predominately include investment income, are projected to total $7.6 million in FY 2025-26, an increase of 94.8% from the current year budgeted figure. Much like property taxes, this increase is reflective of FY 2024-25 actual revenues coming in higher than budgeted and that increase carrying into next fiscal year along with additional projected growth. Investment income has greatly outpaced budget figures for the current and previous FY 2023-24 period as federal interest rates have remained persistently high. Poway's practice is to keep funds invested until they are needed for project or debt payments and thus has benefitted from a higher rate of return (+/- 4%).

While this is great news, the City cannot assume this level of interest income will endure long into the future. Staff are mitigating this inevitable decline in interest rates with our investment strategy to engage in longer-term investments as over the long-term interest rates will be reduced once the federal reserve drops interest rates. At some point this will put additional pressure on other revenue sources such as fees, permits and services revenue types which are actively being studied as noted above. Completing these studies and updating fee amounts should help increase revenues in line with the costs for providing those services.

Personnel Requests
Personnel costs represent approximately 32.9% of the proposed FY 2025-26 operating budget at a total of $40.6 million. In addition to scheduled pay increases in accordance with the City's labor agreements, the proposed budget includes funding for five position reclassifications across four different departments, which includes the addition of three new position classifications to the City's Position Classification Plan and related salary grades to the corresponding salary schedules. Salary schedules are maintained as approved by the City Council for each of the City's labor groups, including Safety, Non-Safety/Teamsters, Management and Confidential, and Part-Time Temporary/Seasonal.

Along with approving salary schedules, the City Council is responsible for adopting position classifications, both new and reclassifications, as noted below. The City Manager is responsible for filling and managing each of these positions excluding their own position and that of the City Attorney, which are appointed by the City Council. A minimal increase in retirement contributions to the City's Mission Square 401 a plan for Management/Confidential employees in Groups 3 and 4 is also proposed. The City provides a 401 (a) deferred compensation plan on behalf of City employees as a supplemental retirement savings plan. This plan includes some mandatory City contributions as noted in each labor groups Memorandum of Understanding, along with voluntary supplemental savings if an employee elects to do so (some have mandatory employee contributions as well).

The proposed reclassification changes are in the City's Finance, Public Works, Legislative/Administration, and Community Services Departments and described below. 4 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
Finance: There are currently two Senior Accounting Technician Full-Time Equivalent (FTEs) in the Finance Division of the Finance Department supporting the City's complex payroll processing function.

Due to the ever-changing regulations and tax laws, intricate employee benefits and deductions, and need for additional support focused on projecting employee salary and benefits for the budget process, staff is recommending the City Council approve a new classification title of Payroll Analyst so that one of the two FTE Senior Accounting Technician may be promoted to the higher-level position.

The new classification will allow the Finance division to better align current internal resources within the department to justify giving the Payroll Analyst higher level responsibilities of payroll preparation and oversight, but also to support the Finance Manager and Director with the budget process. The new classification creates an opportunity for career advancement which contributes to retention and succession planning efforts and recognizes the complexity of payroll processing and related responsibilities.

The Information Technology division, within the Finance Department, includes the Assistant Director of Finance for Business Operations, a Network Administrator, Network Analyst, two IT Analysts and a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analyst. The job duties of the GIS Analyst do not currently reflect the work required of the position. The position works independently running the City's GIS programs and performs higher level work than is currently indicated in the job description. The GIS program serves as the City's backbone not only for internal City departments and divisions, but also residents utilizing these high-end mapping services to meet their needs. Staff are requesting a new position title of GIS Administrator, similar to the level of the Network Administrator, be established in the City's Position Classification Plan to provide for the GIS Analyst to be reclassified to the GIS Administrator position.

Public Works: The Utilities division of the Public Works department is responsible for running the City's Lester J. Berglund Water Treatment Plant (WTP), which is a 24-hour seven day a week operation.

Currently, there is one Water Treatment Plant Manager, one Water Treatment Plant Lead Operator, and eight Water Treatment Plant Operator Ill FTEs budgeted. Staff are requesting funds to reclassify one of the current Water Treatment Plant Operator Ill FTEs to establish a second Water Treatment Plant Lead Operator. This reclassification will support the overall management of the WTP by having a third employee with a T-5 certification, the highest certification awarded by the California State Water Resources Control Board. Based upon the type of water treatment facility the City has, the State requires staff with a T-5 certification always be accessible and available at the WTP. Having an additional Water Treatment Plant Lead Operator will provide additional flexibility in scheduling to ensure coverage during planned and unplanned absences. It also provides a career advancement opportunity for a current employee, contributes to employee retention efforts and assists with accomplishing the short and long-term goals of the department.

Legislative/Administration Department: The City Manager's office currently has an approved Management Analyst FTE position, which has not been funded since FY 2020-21 when budget cost savings measures were implemented as part of retrenchment efforts during the COVID pandemic.

There is a significant need to fund and fill the position in the FY 2025-26 budget at the Senior Management Analyst level to support the administration and the myriad of high-level projects in the City Manager's office.

Community Services: The only recommended requests to increase FTE positions in the FY 2025-26 budget is at the PCPA. In order to support the operations of the PCPA and in accordance with the recommendations from the PCPA Operational Analysis unanimously approved by the City Council at the June 17, 2025 City Council meeting, the Box Office Coordinator and Front of the House Coordinator 5 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
positions are proposed to go from .75 FTEs to 1.0 FTEs, and the .50 FTE Administrative Assistant Ill position is proposed to increase to a .75 FTE position. Prior to the COVID pandemic, the PCPA was booked 186 days (FY 2018-19). Post COVI D, the number of booked days has increased year after year and the PCPA is now booked about 250 days a year; however, staffing levels have remained the same.

Part-time regular staff are struggling to keep up with the increased use and additional workload. While the additional 64 days a year requires onsite staffing, those additional days also include a significant amount of work to prepare for use of the facility (contracts, invoicing, client pre-show meetings, ticketing, website management, concession operations, volunteer management, etc.). Increasing each part-time regular FTE by .25, for a total FTE increase of .75 to the FY 2025-26 budget will provide additional staff resources to manage the increasing workload.

Community Services is also requesting the City Council approve a new classification on the City's Position Classification Plan and Non-Safety (Teamsters) Salary Schedule of Recreation Specialist - Gym to reflect the current responsibilities being performed by the current Recreation Leader I who is supporting the operations for both the Meadowbrook and Twin Peaks gyms. These gyms are subject to a Joint Use Agreement UUA), among other facilities, executed between the City and the Poway Unified School District. The gyms are accessible to the City for recreational programming activities which benefit City recreation facility users. The position oversees established programs at the gyms for both children and adults and is issuing and collecting the City's recreation equipment and supplies.

Establishing the new classification will allow City staff to reclassify the current Recreation Leader I to the more accurate higher-level classification of Recreation Specialist - Gym.

The City of Poway Position Classification Plan and related salary schedules are proposed to reflect the new classifications and recommended salary grades. These titles are representative of the changes Poway is continuing to make to assist current employees in growing and progressing within the City while also properly aligning position classifications and staffing levels with the responsibility to deliver high-quality programs and services to the Poway community.

The table below shows the total budgeted Full Time Equivalent positions authorized in the current fiscal year and proposed in Fiscal Year 2025-26.

The proposed budget also reflects a minimal increase of $3.866 per pay period (or $100.54 annually) per regular, full-time employee in Groups 3 and 4 of the Management/Confidential Employee Group towards their Mission Square 401 a retirement accounts and establishes a pro-rated equivalent contribution for part-time, regular employees in the same groups. Currently, Management / Confidential employees in Groups 3 and 4 are receiving $69.21 per pay period toward a 401 a 6 of257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
retirement account. It would increase to $73.07 per pay period, and establish a pro-rated amount of part-time, regular positions in Groups 3 and 4, which is almost equivalent to the combined contributions Non-Safety employees receive in the 457 match and 401a contribution of up to $72.61 per pay period. Similar to the 401 (a) deferred compensation plan noted above, the City also provides an additional 457 deferred compensation plan on behalf of City employees as a supplemental retirement savings plan. This plan includes employee contributions, with some City matching contributions, up to limits defined in each labor group's Memorandum of Understanding. Employees can contribute more than what is matched by the City up to applicable annual Federal tax limits.

This supports retention and succession planning efforts so that an employee does not take a reduction in their retirement contribution benefit when promoted from a Non-Safety position to a Management/Confidential position in Groups 3 or 4.

New Programs/Expenditure Requests
The proposed FY 2025-26 budget includes only a moderate amount of new funding requests for programs or expenditures at a total cost of $1,539,281. The City is in the enviable financial position of being able to fully fund all department budget requests for the next fiscal year, the list of the more notable requests included below reflects the directors' pragmatism in their approach to the annual budget and only asking for what they need to better serve the public. • Public Records Act Request Software
• Lake Poway Catfish Restock (increase frequency)
• Lake Poway Recreation Use Expansion
• Additional Funds for Congregate Meal Program (partially offset by revenue increases) • Mickey Cafagna Community Center Tables/Chairs/Carts
• Pickleball Siting Study
• Finance systems cloud migration
• Mitigation, In-Lieu & Impact Fee Study
• Concrete Repairs at Parks
• Green Valley Open Space Maintenance
• Iron Mountain Trail head Restroom (septic pump out)
• Poway Entrance Signs Rehabilitation
• Confined Space Entry Team Safety Trailer
• Water Treatment Plant Influent Flow Meter Replacement • Water Use Efficiency Standards Assistance
• Defensible Space Program Mailers
• Knox Box (emergency key access) Replacement
• Plymovent Replacement (diesel exhaust extraction system) • Fabrication and Radio Installation for Type I Fire Engines (2) General Fund Reserves
Pursuant to the General Fund Reserve Policy, the "City of Poway will maintain a General Fund reserve equivalent to 45% of budgeted annual General Fund operating expenditures ." This 45% is sub-divided into three categories: 1. Revenue Volatility Reserve (10%); 2. Expenditure Volatility Reserve (5%); and

3. Extreme Events Reserve (30%). Poway maintains the highest General Fund Reserve policy in San Diego County, which continues to be fully funded and reflective of the decades offiscal responsibility and prudent management of City resources.

On April 16, 2020, the City Council authorized the appropriation of $2.0 million from the Extreme Events Reserve to fund the Poway Emergency Assistance Recovery Loan (PEARL) program to offer 7 of257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
short-term financial assistance to independently owned and operated local small businesses impacted by COVID-19. As repayments are received, funds are returned to the Extreme Events Reserve. The final PEARL repayments are due in May 2026.

For FY 2025-26, $1.8 million will be transferred from the General Fund to the three reserves to maintain compliance with the policy. The transfer amount is based on net General Fund operating expenses of approximately $60.7 million. Approximately $1.3 million in asset replacement charges included in the operating budget are excluded from the calculation, as is the $1.76 million Los Penasquitos Lagoon restoration cost share payment. In addition, PEARL repayments of $251,000 are projected to be received in the Extreme Events Reserve Fund during FY 2025-26.

On November 16, 2021, in conjunction with authorizing the issuance of pension obligation bonds, the City Council adopted a Pension Reserve and Funding Policy to establish a Pension Reserve Fund (PRF) to help mitigate pension costs, including any unfunded liability obligations that arise in the future.

Contributions to the PRF may be made in an amount up to 50% of the increase in the General Fund unassigned fund balance from one year to the next. To date contributions to the PRF have totaled $5,084,453. The proposed budget for FY 2025-26 reflects the use of approximately $1.9 million from the PRF to fund the annual required payment to the City's pension retirement fund system, the California Public Employee Retirement System (Cal PERS). These payments are not unique to Poway as this is consistent with annual payments required of other cities, counties, special districts, and municipalities that utilize CalPERS for pension retirement services. The PRF provides a financial tool and associated Policy to help ensure the ongoing mechanism for funding this required annual payment.

As a result of many years of responsible fiscal management decisions having been made, similar to those previously discussed in this report, the proposed FY 2025-26 budget reflects a projected General Fund unassigned fund balance, beyond the reserve balances previously mentioned, of approximately $17.2 million on June 30, 2026. This amount is after the previously mentioned $6.2M to pay off debt early but does not include the potential transfer of 50% of the increase in General Fund unassigned fund balance at FY2024-25 year end per the PRF policy. The General Fund unassigned fund balance is also the funding source of the $1.76 million for the City's share of the initial phase of the Los Penasquitos Lagoon restoration project.

Water and Wastewater Utilities
The Water Infrastructure Improvement Program (Program) represents an important investment in the City's and antiquated water system. Phase I of this program included the construction of a temporary bypass for storing treated water and was completed in late 2022 on schedule and under budget.

Phase II of this program includes the Clearwell Replacement, a $39.4 million project currently under construction to replace the existing clearwell built in 1964 with two new four-million-gallon prestressed concrete tanks, with project completion expected in late spring 2026. Phase Ill is envisioned to provide a treated water connection to San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) facilities. The City of Poway and the Ramona Municipal Water District entered into a Memorandum of 8 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
Understanding (MOU) for a Water Purchase Agreement. The MOU is designed to meet the treated water redundant water source Phase Ill goal at a more economical price which should benefit all Poway water rate payers. The goal of the suite of projects that make up the Program is to improve the reliability, redundancy, and resiliency of Poway's water system. These projects represent the single largest set of capital improvement projects in the City's history.

Focusing on just the water utility operating fund, the total budgeted fund expenditures exceed the estimated fund revenues by $1.9 million for FY 2025-26. The FY 2025-26 budget shortfall can be covered with existing reserves, but this is not structurally sustainable going forward. These challenges would have been more significant if not for the City Council taking steps to help stabilize the water enterprise fund by approving a one-time pass through adjustment in water rates on December 3, 2024 to address unforeseen increases in costs from the SDCWA. Approximately 96% of the City's water supply is purchased from the SDCWA, the cost of which exceeded what was projected when the City's current four-year rate plan was implemented in 2022. This cost is expected to increase in January 2026 by 12% given current SDCWA projections.

As previously mentioned, staff are currently working with the City's rate consultant to bring forward for City Council consideration updated adjustments to the adopted water rates through a 5-year Cost of Service Study (COSS). This study incorporates increased SDCWA water purchase and SDG&E energy costs which together represent 63% of the water operating system costs that are outside of the City of Poway's control, along with other cost increases that have impacted Poway's cost of providing services. As a best practice, all but two water agencies in San Diego County, including Poway, have pass-through provisions in their adopted rate schedules allowing them to automatically pass on any increases in SDCWA water rates, or SDG&E energy rates, to customers. This rate study will include consideration for a pass-through ordinance over the 5-year COSS period to help address these major cost drivers outside of City control.

The City of San Diego provides Poway with recycled water that is utilized by approximately 217 users in the South Poway Business Park. San Diego has indicated their intention to raise recycled water rates to system users, including Poway, by 92.6% in the coming 1 + years (depending on how the adjustment is rolled out). If this occurs, recycled water rates would surpass treated water rates charged to Poway customers, Poway will shift to the utilization of treated water for these customers to prevent a recycled water rate that is higher than the potable water rate. Poway is monitoring this situation and will work with potentially impacted customers as more information is known.

The proposed FY 2025-26 Wastewater Utility Fund budget includes $11.6 million in total revenues and $16.6 million in total expenditures. Similar to the Water utility, the expenditure total includes the use of $2.4 million in restricted sewer connection fee revenues accumulated from new development.

These funds are being planned to pay for numerous Capital Improvement Program projects that benefit Poway's wastewater system users. Part of the noted COSS update is the study and update of wastewater costs and revenues through a 5-year rate adjustment. The rate study will also include consideration for a pass-through ordinance related to wastewater treatment costs where the San Diego Metro JPA provides wholesale wastewater treatment services for the City, whose costs are 9 of257

Capital Improvement Program
The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is administered by staff from the Engineering Division of the Development Services Department with the goal of maintaining and improving the City's infrastructure, and enhancing public facilities based upon community needs. Engineering staff provides professional engineering services in the planning, design, and construction of the CIP projects. The CIP is an ongoing process which matches available funds with prioritized needs. During program planning, staff takes inventory of the City's existing infrastructure and facilities, considers facility and system assessments completed by consultants as well as community needs, as well as staff capacity, and then develops a prioritized project list consistent with community goals. Projects are prioritized and designed to achieve optimum use of available funding. Projects are categorized into the following categories: Streets, Drainage, Public Facilities, Water, and Sewer.

The City's CIP division will oversee 32 active and 46 new proposed projects, with $27.90 million appropriated in FY 2025-26 for a total of $100.98 million in appropriations for these projects. Included in the CIP requests are projects that benefit the community with improvements and maintenance to parks, sidewalks, facilities, street safety, as well as water, sewer and drainage infrastructure enhancements to ensure system reliability.

STREETS
The primary goal of projects within the Streets category is to extend the useful life of public streets, address capacity issues, maintain the City's traffic signals, refresh and update street striping and signage, and maximize efficiency for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians while ensuring public safety. The total proposed funding in the Streets category is $6.02 million, which comes from a variety offunding sources including Transnet, Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), the Lighting District, and Gas Tax.

The proposed projects include $282,300 for the Traffic Signal Controller Upgrades project, which is an ongoing program to upgrade the City's aging traffic signal system; $1,050,000 for the installation of Adaptive Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) software, enhanced detection and reprogramming of controllers to collect traffic data and ensure progression along the City's regional arterial and collector streets. Corridor improvements will also be evaluated and implemented to improve traffic flow, capacity and safety as a part of this project. Additional projects within the Streets category include $7,300 for the ongoing maintenance of the City's traffic signal software program Transparity, and $4.68 million for the annual Street Maintenance, Street Overlay, and Citywide Striping projects.

The Transnet funding source is revenue from the TransNet half-cent sales tax administered by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Pursuant to the TransNet Extension Ordinance, every two years, all local agencies are required to adopt a five-year list of proposed capital projects to be included in the proposed Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) and funded with TransNet revenues. The 2025 RTIP includes the list of projects proposed for full or partial funding by TransNet revenues for FYs 2025 through 2029. Attachment G is a resolution to amend the 2025 RTIP five-year list of projects for the City of Poway (Exhibit 1 ). SAN DAG annually reviews projected revenues of the region's half-cent sales tax. The City of Poway's total share of the TransNet revenues for local street and road program improvements is estimated at $10,529,000 over the five-year period covered in the proposed 2025 RTIP (Attachment G Exhibit 1 ).

On-going, previously funded projects in the streets category include:
• The Traffic Signal Controller Upgrades, which will replace detector loops, pull boxes, conduit, 10 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
controllers, cabinets and wiring at two intersections. The project is currently in design and is estimated to be under construction this summer.
• The Neighborhood Sidewalks project (Garden Road) was awarded at the May 6 City Council meeting and will be constructed this summer.
• FY 2024-25 Street Overlay Project was awarded at the May 20 City Council meeting and will be constructed in July.

Streets projects completed and accepted by the City Council in the current fiscal year include the Poway Road Safety Improvements, Midland Road Safety Improvements, FY 2022-23 Traffic Signal Controller Upgrades, the Neighborhood Sidewalks project (Powers Road), FY 2023-24 Street Overlay project, FY 2024-25 Citywide Striping project, and FY 2024-25 Street Maintenance project.

DRAINAGE
The projects proposed within the drainage category have the goal of preserving and maintaining the existing infrastructure, including culverts, concrete channels and natural channels, and the ongoing annual replacement of corrugated metal pipes (CMP) which have surpassed their service life.

Drainage funding in the amount of $1.68 million is being requested from the Drainage Fund, which includes $300,000 for the annual CMP Repair/Replacement project to rehabilitate priority CMP pipes throughout the City. Funds in the amount of $130,000 are requested for the sixth year of the Annual Trash Capture Program, which is an unfunded mandate by the Regional Water Quality Control Board to capture all trash greater than 5mm, essentially anything larger than a cigarette butt, in priority land use areas (PLUs). PLUs include areas classified as commercial, industrial, and high density residential as well as transit stops. The City has ten years to comply with the region-wide mandate and is appropriating funding annually with the CIP budget to complete a portion of the program each year, which is in its seventh year. Additional funding in the amount of approximately $1.10 million for the Community Park Concrete Ribbon Drain project is requested to fund final design and preparation of construction documents, permit processing with the resource agencies and partially fund construction of the project. The engineering assessment is almost complete and provides options to repair the eroded concrete ribbon gutter running through Community Park and prevent further erosion of the bottom and sides. Lastly, $150,000 for the Annual Channel Rehabilitation is proposed to repair various sections of spalled and eroded concrete along the All brook Street and Floral Avenue channels.

All drainage related projects requesting funds this year are for on-going, previously funded or annual projects. There are no new projects proposed.

PUBLIC FACILITIES
The primary goal of projects within the Public Facilities category is the preservation and maintenance of over 100 public buildings and parks. This category also includes installation of new public facilities as well as renovation of existing facilities. Building maintenance tasks are typically combined to create the annual Public Facilities Renovation project. The individual tasks that make up the Public Facilities Renovation project are accomplished by a combination of City staff. In 2016, a Facility Needs Assessment was conducted which included a comprehensive assessment of select City facilities, with the assessment of each facility varying from an entire building assessment to roof and HVAC assessments only. It provided a ten-year list of corrective actions as well as continuous ongoing maintenance items at each assessed building. In January 2022, a Community Park Needs Assessment was adopted by the City Council identifying and prioritizing future improvements at Community Park. 11 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
Funding being requested for Public Facilities projects is $8.43 million. Projects include $163,729 for American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Barrier Removal addressing accessibility issues at Community Park in accordance with the ADA. The project is funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) grant funds and is reimbursed through the grant funding upon completion of the work.

Funding from the Park Improvement Fund in the amount of $1.00 million is requested for Pickleball Courts Assessment and Implementation projects, as well as a new restroom at Community Park located near the Adventure Playground.

Funding from the Capital Facilities Fund in the amount of $981,800 is proposed for the Swim Center Media Filter Replacement, Lake Poway Concessions Door Replacement and Relocation, and PCPA projects including the installation of an Orchestra Safety Net, Sewer Replacement and Elevator Rehabilitation and ADA Improvements. As stated in the City of Poway and PUSD joint use agreement for PCPA projects, PUSD will reimburse the City 35% of the construction cost once the projects are completed.

Funding from a combination of the Capital Improvement Fund and the Capital Facilities Fund in the amount of $1.25 million is proposed to implement Public Facilities Renovation projects for roofing repairs, general maintenance, concrete repair/replacement, painting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) upgrades and replacements and lighting replacements in Old Poway Park. The Capital Improvement Fund is the funding source for various general City Capital Improvement Projects, including concrete repair/replacement, Old Poway Park lighting replacement, and others.

The Capital Facilities Fund is the funding source for various general City facilities replacement projects, including facility roof work, HVAC systems, and window replacements. This is a series of maintenance projects typically managed by various City staff to maintain City facilities.

On-going previously funded projects include:
• The PCPA Facility Maintenance Design project is a multi-year rehabilitation program for the PCPA. Staff just received approval from the Division of State Architects (the governing jurisdiction for school facilities) for the design of the overall project which includes various infrastructure modernizations. There are four PCPA projects scheduled for construction this summer.
o The PCPA Facility Electrical project was part of the first-year construction project.

WATER
In 2014, assessments of the City's water distribution system and Water Treatment Plant were completed, and a ten-year water CIP was developed from the assessments. There are nine previously funded projects in various stages of completion with the primary goal of preserving existing infrastructure, including pipelines, reservoirs, pump stations, pressure reducing stations, and the Water Treatment Plant facility. The City issued Series 2023 Water Revenue Bonds to fund the replacement of the existing 10 million-gallon Clearwell tank with two new reservoirs that will serve the residents of Poway for generations.

Water funding in the amount of $2.17 million is being requested for five ongoing water projects, including the Annual Water Valve Replacement, the Treated Water Facilities and Redundant Pipeline, the Water Pump Stations Motor Control Center Upgrades for Pump Stations 8 through 12, the Water Treatment Plant Filters Upgrade and the Emergency Interconnection #1 (Avenida La Valencia) projects.

Funding in the amount of $4.85 million is also being requested for four new projects including the Emergency Interconnection #2 (Poway and Springhurst}, a Water Master Plan Update and Implementation, the Stone Canyon Steel Watermain Replacement and the Water Treatment Plant Groundwater Investigation and Assessment projects.

On-going previously funded projects include:
• The Annual Water Valve Replacement project will be constructed this summer. • The Water Infrastructure Program is a three-phase program to improve the reliability, redundancy and resiliency of the City's potable water system. The first phase is the Clearwell Bypass project which is in operation. The remaining two phases of the program consist of the following projects at various stages of progress:
13 of 257
o The Clearwell Replacement project is under construction. The project is approximately 50% complete. The new Clearwell commissioning is anticipated in approximately a year.

Staff expects to complete the design and environmental documentation by late this year as well as a proposed water purchase agreement with Ramona Water District. • The R-4 and R-7 Reservoir Upgrade projects are nearly complete. • The Water Treatment Plant Filters Upgrade project is currently in design and is expected to begin construction later this year.
• Design is complete for the Water Pump Stations Motor Control Center Upgrades for Pump Stations 8 through 12. Pump Station No. 8 is scheduled for construction in fiscal year 2025. • Staff are currently awaiting bids for the Water Treatment Plant Chemical Tank Rehabilitation project.
• The Emergency Interconnection #1 is expected to be completed later this summer and begin construction in the fall.

Water projects completed and accepted by the City Council in the current fiscal year include the Washwater Tank Number 2 Upgrades and the Annual Water Valve Replacement project.

SEWER
The primary goal of projects within the sewer category is preservation of existing infrastructure, including pipelines, manholes and lift stations, and providing increased flow capacity wherever identified as necessary. In 2013, an assessment was completed for the City's sanitary sewer distribution system. A ten-year sewer CIP was developed and included both capacity increasing projects and maintenance projects.

Sewer funding in the amount of $565,185 is requested to fund the annual projects including the Annual Sewer Line Repair/Replace and the Annual Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation. Sewer funding in the amount $2,755,000 is requested to fund the ongoing Camino Del Valle Lift Station Upgrades Preliminary Design Report and the Powers Road Sewer Replacement design projects. These projects were all contemplated when sewer rates were adopted in 2021. One new project for the sewer category is an update to the City's Sewer Master Plan. This is necessary to revise the capacity analysis, remodel the system, update condition assessment and recommend a new ten-year sewer Capital Improvement Program plan.

On-going previously funded projects include:
• The Butterfield Trail Sewer Upsize Project is currently at the 50% level of the design phase. • The Annual Sewer Line Repair/Replace and Annual Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation are currently under design.
• The Treatment Plant Sludge Discharge Study will start this Fall. • The Powers Road Sewer Replacement project is in preliminary design.

Budget Review Committee
The Budget Review Committee completed a review of the proposed FY 2025-26 budget at four meetings held in April and May. Their report of recommendations is attached to this report as Attachment B. The Committee Chair plans to attend the public hearing to present the Committee's recommendations and respond to any questions from the City Council.

Appropriations Limit
14 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
California Government Code Section 7910 requires each local government to establish its Proposition 4 Appropriations Limit by resolution annually at a regularly scheduled meeting or a noticed special meeting. Proposition 4 was adopted by the voters on November 6, 1979, and became Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. The goal of this legislation was to keep real (inflation adjusted) per person government spending within 1978-79 levels. Under Article XIIIB, known as the Gann Initiative, a maximum amount is established for tax-funded government appropriations each fiscal year based on the government's proceeds of taxes subject to the limitation calculation. Proceeds of taxes are revenues such as property taxes and sales taxes and do not include other revenue sources such as rental and franchise fees.

The City of Poway, as part of its Articles of Incorporation, established the base year Appropriations Limit at $7,047,200 for FY 1981-82. Article XIIIB provided that the base limit be increased each year using specified population and inflationary growth factors. For the inflationary growth factors, Article XIIIB required the lower of the change in either the U.S. Consumer Price Index or the California Per Capita Personal Income be used. Beginning with the FY 1990-91 Appropriations Limit, Article XIIIB was modified by Proposition 111 and SB-88 (Chapter 60/90) to allow cities to choose: 1) their city's population growth or the county's population growth as the population factor, and 2) the growth in the California Per Capita Personal Income or the growth in Assessed Valuation of Nonresidential New Construction within the city as the inflation factor. Consequently, each year the City chooses the more beneficial of the two population and inflation measures for the Appropriations Limit calculation.

For the FY 2025-26 Appropriations Limit, the City compared the growth in San Diego County's population from January 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025 of 0.44% to the growth in the City's population of

0.86%. The City then compared the growth in the California Per Capita Personal Income of 6.44% to the growth in Assessed Valuation of Nonresidential New Construction within the City of Poway of

0.60%. Choosing the growth in the City's population and the growth in the California Per Capita Personal Income as its population and inflation factors, respectively, the City's Appropriations Limit for FY 2025-26 is $74,676,908. The City's FY 2025-26 Appropriations Subject to the Limitation is $56,526,588, which is $18,150,320 below the Appropriations Limit. The attached Resolution (Attachment E) establishes the City of Poway's Appropriations Limit for FY 2025-26.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Budget Review Committee
Subject: Committee Observations and Recommendations for Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Budget
The City of Poway's Budget Review Committee (BRC) presents a unique experience for residents. In late April five dedicated Poway residents came together, mostly as strangers, not necessarily knowing a lot about City operations, the budget, or exactly what to expect as members of the BRC. Over the course of four meetings, City staff expertly provides a crash course into how the City operates, which projects and programs the City is currently working on, what the City plans to work on in the future, how the City generates revenue, and how the money is spent. Ultimately culminating in the presentation of the proposed budget for the next fiscal year.

While slightly daunting at the beginning of the first meeting, the BRC provides a comfortable, casual, and informal environment where committee members and staff are on a first-name basis and where questions and curiosity are encouraged.

We are honored and privileged to have had the opportunity to serve the City Council and the community as BRC members. We greatly appreciate the value the City Council places on the BRC and the forum it creates for residents to learn about how the City functions. The passion and expertise staff demonstrates is undeniable. In addition to recognizing City Manager Chris Hazeltine, Assistant City Manager Wendy Kaserman, and Director of Finance Craig Schmollinger, the BRC also wants to call out and recognize each of the City's department directors for the outstanding work they do for the City. These include:

Audrey Denham, Director of Community Services
Jodene Dunphy, Director of Human Resources/Risk Management Eric Heidemann, Director of Public Works
Brian Mitchell, Fire Chief
Julie Procopio, Director of Development Services
Claudia Delgado, Captain, San Diego Sheriff's Office
At the second BRC meeting, the breadth of knowledge demonstrated by these individuals was impressive. We strongly encourage residents take the opportunity to attend this annual BRC meeting in particular. Each director describes what their department does, their organizational structure, and current and proposed work plans. As residents, we could not help but feel great pride in the work the City does each and every day that contributes to the outstanding quality of life Poway residents and the community enjoy. We 6/5/2025 Page 1 of 7
18 of 257 ATTACHMENT B
June 17, 2025, Item #11
observed prudent use of resources and staff is cognizant of their responsibility to use taxpayer dollars wisely.

As we heard throughout the BRC meetings, the City prioritizes being "brilliant at the basics" and does not chase shiny objects or the latest and greatest trends. The stark contrast between how Poway operates, and its financial stability could not be more apparent as we see and read daily about the deep budget cuts and service reductions being proposed to balance the budget in the neighboring City of San Diego.

Things to Celebrate and Recognize
Prior to moving into recommendations, the BRC wants to recognize and celebrate several wins for the City of Poway. The proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget is not only balanced but fully funds all current operations and programs. As staff reviewed the new funding requests for operations, personnel and capital projects, it is apparent the requests are thoughtful, focused on maintaining and improving the quality of life for residents, and departments are asking only for what they need. The City of Poway is in the enviable position of recommending funding for all of the new requests submitted for next fiscal year.

This reflects not only a strong financial position, that the City can afford to fund these, but also an organization that understands its core purpose is to serve the community and the new requests reflect this as a priority.

The proposed budget also fully funds the City's General Fund Reserves. As the BRC learned, Poway has one of, if not the highest, reserve levels in San Diego County. The City sets aside 45% of General Fund expenditures in reserves. The 45% is further broken into the following categories: Revenue Volatility, Expenditure Volatility and Extreme Events. This is another reflection of the City's long-term financial stability, forethought and planning by current and past City Councils and City management. The healthy reserves have proven beneficial during emergencies, notably during the pandemic, where reserve funds were used to fund a bridge loan program for small businesses in Poway while state and federal financial assistance programs were being developed. The BRC recognizes there is a balance in setting the appropriate reserve levels, as you do not want to set the reserve level so high you are taking away funding for operations. We find the City's 45% policy strikes the appropriate balance.

As another demonstration of the City's strong financial position, the City continues to set aside funds through an internal "rent" program to plan for the eventual replacement of vehicles and equipment, along with rehabilitation of public facilities. This reflects long term planning for fiscal sustainability and best budget practices. The BRC is pleased to learn replacement costs incorporate inflation to keep pace with rising costs. 6/5/2025 Page 2 of 7

June 17, 2025, Item #11
In addition to Staff's recommendation to pay off debt that will be addressed in the BRC recommendations, the BRC also recognizes the City is diligently paying down its debt obligations and in FY 2025-26 some debt will be retired. This reflects honoring commitments to taxpayers/ratepayers to meet annual debt obligations and pay debt off within the timeframe committed to, if not sooner. It also helps ensure that should the City ever need to issue debt in the future, the City not only has capacity, but will also benefit from a high bond rating based on its history of responsible debt management which results in a reduction in cost (interest) from issuing such debt.

City staffing levels are fairly consistent which reflects a healthy organization. The BRC did not see significant fluctuations in staffing numbers. The Committee touched briefly on vacancy levels and learned that recent efforts to bring all positions to at least the market median have been effective in addressing recruitment and retention issues. We support the City's thoughtful approach to evaluating each and every vacancy to make sure the position is still necessary and best serves the needs of the organization while making changes where necessary. A recent example provided is the recent reclassification of several positions in Development Services to adapt to what the City was seeing in the market and its need to pivot to fill critical positions with top talent. City Manager Hazeltine also highlighted the City's positive relationships with the two labor associations as demonstrated in part by the execution of long-term six-year agreements with both the Poway Firefighters' Association, as well as the Teamsters Local 911. The BRC notes the new personnel requests amounting to less than 1 new full-time equivalent (FTE) for FY 2025-26 are minimal, necessary and consistent with the ongoing objective of delivering core services to residents and the community.

While only one member of the BRC was continuing on in the second year of their term, Chair, Vanessa Springett, was excited to see BRC recommendations from last year, including some of her own recommendations, were incorporated into the proposed budget document. This demonstrates the value both the City Council and Staff place on the Committee's input to improve the readability of the budget document and recommendations are reflected in the budget document in a meaningful way.

Recommendations and Support for the Proposed FY 2025-26 budget Moving into recommendations and support for items in the proposed budget, the BRC has several specific items to call the City Council's attention to. This includes support for projects and programs being proposed, as well as some projects already underway in the current budget, as well as suggestions for continuing to improve the readability and accessibility of the budget document.

June 17, 2025, Item #11

1. Complete the update to the City's Cost Allocation Plan Recommendation: The BRC recognizes the efficiency and value of allocating costs across funds but also understands the current cost allocation plan is outdated and is in the process of being updated. This project is funded in the current year's budget and is close to completion . Since the update is not yet finished, the results are not incorporated into the FY 2025-26 budget. The BRC emphasizes the importance of completing the project in time to have the information incorporated into the upcoming city-wide fee update, in-lieu, impact and mitigation fee study updates mentioned in the next recommendation, as well as the upcoming water and sewer cost of service studies.

2. Complete review and update City in-lieu, impact and mitigation fees.

Recommendation: Support the Finance Department's new program request to update the City's mitigation, impact and in-lieu fees and associated studies . An update and future adoption of fee adjustments will likely increase revenue to help offset the increased cost of providing certain services, as well as generate revenue to offset the capital costs of infrastructure necessary to serve new development.

3. Place an indicator(*) on all budget-related items that are unfunded mandates either from regional, state or federal agencies.
a) Include a cost and percentage breakdown for each section of the budget Recommendation: As the BRC learned more about City operations and the proposed budget, we learned about unfunded mandates, from the regional, State or Federal levels, impacting the operating budget and in some cases capital budget requests. We think it would be of value to residents for the budget document to call out these expenditures.

While some expenditures are relatively insignificant, for others the fiscal impact is quite significant. One significant example is the Los Penasquitos Lagoon Restoration project.

The BRC members were quite surprised to learn Poway's share of Phase I alone represents several millions of dollars . The BRC is recommending the budget document includes a callout of regional, state and federally mandated, and unfunded items, in a conspicuous location. This will help highlight the areas where Poway is using local resources, that could be used for other purposes, to comply with unfunded mandates.

4. Poway does a great job at saving for future asset replacements. It would be beneficial to include the asset management plan assumptions in terms of asset lifespans for retaining depreciation funds which are utilized for future asset replacements. As detailed below, the BRC recommends adding additional detail about this program to the budget document since this does represent a significant annual financial investment for 6/5/2025 Page 4 of 7

June 17, 2025, Item #11
the City and helps avoid spikes in the budget when items reach the end of their useful life and must be replaced.

Recommendation: Include the asset management plan assumptions for asset lifespans, in groups, consolidated much like how is done for the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). This can be accomplished in a bit more detail than the ACFR with a few more relevant categories of assets. This will show the general lifetime in years for retaining depreciation funds which will be utilized for future asset replacements.

5. Include a state, federal, or grant money line item in the budget with an identifier to differentiate them from other revenues.

Recommendation: Consider opportunities to discretely call out state, federal and grant funds in an easy to read and easily located format.

6. Support Staff's recommendation to pay off the 2012 refunding Certificate of Participation debt early (FY2025-26, next Fiscal Year). This will save Poway over $780K in interest costs versus delaying payoff until debt maturity in 2033 and investing those same funds which have been saved over this period. As highlighted in the previous section, Poway is in the enviable position of having cash on hand to bring forward a recommendation to pay off debt early.

Recommendation: Support staff in paying off this $6.2M in debt early for FY2025-26 to save Poway over $780K in costs versus paying off per the debt schedule in 2033 and investing those same funds overthis period. The following justifications frame this recommendation:
a) highest and best use of this $6.2M in funding,
b) these General Fund funds cannot be utilized for Enterprise fund costs, such as for water or sewer related purposes (Poway policy and industry best practice prevent this),
c) frees up future potential debt capacity if needed, and d) reduce the cost of debt proceed issuance in the future by maintaining or increasing a high credit rating (the 2021 Pension Obligation Bond rating for Poway is AA+ Stable by Standard & Poor's)

7. Support Staff's concept for utilization of a 10-year General Fund forecast to inform decision making with a long-term lens.
6/5/2025 Page 5 of 7
22 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
Recommendation: Support staff's further development of and use of an updated 10-year General Fund forecast to have a longer-term view on the economy in Poway and beyond to coincide with the ability to fund various areas under the City's scope of services. This long range forecast is useful for multiple year labor negotiated agreements, large infrastructure projects, and other programs when reviewing the financial ability to engage at different levels for these efforts.

8. Develop a Budget in Brief Type Document as an Educational Tool Recommendation: The BRC was impressed with the work done in recent years to simplify and shorten the budget document to improve its readability and accessibility. The document, once several hundred pages, is now less than 200 pages in totality. As a resource for residents wanting to easily understand the City budget, the BRC recommends the development of a short (i.e. a few page) document that incorporates infographics to tell the story of the City's main sources of revenues, expenditures and budget priorities for the coming year.

Overall Conclusions and a Note of Thanks
The annual BRC process brings much value and transparency to the City of Poway budget process. It offers residents the opportunity to learn in detail how the City of Poway General Fund functions and how the City prioritizes expenditures. In his introductory comments at the first BRC meeting, City Manager Chris Hazeltine stated the City Council and Staff do not view the BRC process as merely a box checking exercise as part of the budget process but rather, they view it as an essential part of the budget progression focused on continual improvement of the budget document. It also offers staff the opportunity to hear different perspectives on the budget from residents viewing it often for the first time. We found staff not only eager to share their knowledge and expertise, but also willing to answer any question. If they did not have the answer in the moment, which was rare, they followed up with the information later. We witnessed firsthand the pride they take in their work and the effectiveness of the team the City has brought together to serve residents and the community.

We were all proud Poway residents going into the BRC process but now find ourselves even prouder to live in such a well-run City in a strong financial position due to responsible and prudent decision making by current and past City Councils, as well as city management and staff who remain focused and committed to being brilliant at the basics. 6/5/2025 Page 6 of 7

CITY OF POWAY

June 17, 2025
Honor
able Mayor, Members of the City Council and Residents:

It is my pleasure to present the proposed FY 2025-26 Budget which includes modest spending increases, along with fiscally sound measures to preserve the ongoing financial health of Poway now and into the future. I am proud of the work Poway does every day for the community to maintain a high level of service, provide enhancements where prudent, and follow a long-held fiscally conservative model that has served the City well since incorporation.

Unlike some surrounding cities and municipalities struggling to balance budgets through service reductions and other cost reduction measures, or bond/sales tax increase efforts, Poway can and will continue to fully fund its services including expansions in areas that best meet community needs. Poway is able to do this with the lowest sales tax rate in the County! Budget decisions are continually reviewed to ensure we are staying the course of what we do best; delivering high quality services and programs to our residents. This includes ensuring a safe clean city, providing exceptional services and programs, properly maintaining infrastructure, and delivering capital projects, all of which enhance the quality-of-life residents of Poway enjoy. The City Council does not get distracted by new and shiny objects or fleeting trends, instead it focuses allocating resources to meet the needs of the community today, tomorrow and in the future.

Poway sets aside funding and plans for the eventual replacement of items such as vehicles, equipment and facility components as part of the annual budget. These best practices are in concert with Poway maintaining the highest General Fund Reserve policy in San Diego County which continues to be fully funded. Additional fiscally prudent measures have been implemented such as the funding of the pension stabilization fund to offset future increases in CalPERS contributions. These are indicators of the General Fund’s healthy status, and Poway is in a desirable financial position through consistent prudence in this area.

The City’s Department Heads each submitted and discussed several budget requests which were able to be included in the proposed budget given the financial health of the City. These requests were all modest in nature and achievable to meet the operational service needs of each department. Some of the enhancements include increased fire defensible space program mailers to residents, enhancement of the congregate older adult meal program at Community Park, increased frequency for Lake Poway catfish restocking, and open space management enhancements. Meeting these service area needs to best serve the community is always front and center in staff’s requests for new and/or expanded funding.

The Proposed Budget includes a significant cost saving measure as the highest and best use of $6.2M of unassigned General Fund dollars. Retiring this 2012 Refunding Bond debt next year, versus paying though 2033 when final payments are due, will save Poway over $780K.

These realized savings can be re-utilized for a more beneficial service use than on interest payments. This effort will also yield additional benefits in maintaining or enhancing Poway’s excellent credit rating (Standard and Poor’s rated AA+ Stable at last Citywide rating in 2021).

June 17, 2025, Item #11
The result will be preferential debt service costs if the City needs to issue future debt while also freeing up debt capacity, should it be needed in the future. This wise use of surplus funds now will benefit the City into the future. Poway’s Financial Policy and industry best practice dictate the City cannot and should not utilize these General Fund funds to pay for Enterprise fund costs, such as for water or sewer related purposes. The Financial Policy states “Enterprise funds will not be subsidized by the General Fund”
Last year I recommended and am appreciative of the City Council’s support in bringing Poway’s salaries to within the median for San Diego County public service agencies. The City has already reaped benefits from these adjustments through a reduction in vacancy rates and numerous successful recruitments over the past year.

Several fiscal sustainability measures in the Finance Department workplan are either in the process or proposed to begin next fiscal year. The close-to-completion Indirect-Cost Allocation Plan (ICAP) determines the distribution of the costs for general, citywide support services (i.e.

Administration, Finance, Information Technology and Human Resources) to departments and enterprise funds which use and benefit from those services. The ICAP determines how those organizational costs are split across the General Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund, and other funds to ensure each fund is paying for its fair share of these expenses. While the ICAP was not ready for incorporation into the Proposed FY 2025-26 Budget, the results of this update will be completed in the coming months and incorporated into numerous high-priority projects. These include the Ci tywide fee update focusing on development services and fire fees, along with mitigation, impact, and in- lieu fee study updates. Examples of these fees include traffic mitigation, park mitigation, habitat mitigation, housing in-lieu, and fire protection impact fees will likely help offset the increased cost of providing certain City provided services. These updates will be in concert with third-party consultants who are subject matter experts.

While we note the General Fund is healthy, the Water Fund is facing some continued challenges. These challenges would have been more significant if not for the City Council taking steps to help stabilize the water enterprise fund by approving a one-time pass through adjustment in water rates on December 3, 2024 to address unforeseen increases in costs from the City’s wholesale water provider, the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA), which began in January 2025. However, this is not a one-time issue. As the current 4-year rate study concluded with the January 1, 2025 adjusted rates, staff is actively working with the City’s rate consultant to bring forward updated adjustments to water rates through a 5-year Cost of Service Study (COSS). SDCWA water purchase and SDG&E energy costs together represent 63% of the water operating system costs which are outside of the City of Poway’s control. As a best practice, all but two water agencies in San Diego County have pass-through provisions in their adopted rate schedules allowing them to automatically pass on any increases in SDCWA water rates, or SDG&E energy rates, to customers. Poway does not. Spoiler alert: this rate study will include a recommendation for a pass-through ordinance to help address these major cost drivers outside of City control. Any proposed changes to water and sewer rates would be subject to a Proposition 218 process, meaning rate payers will have the opportunity to weigh in on them.

Part of the COSS update is the study and update of wastewater costs and revenues through a 5-year rate adjustment. The rate study will also include consideration for a pass-through ordinance related to wastewater treatment costs where the San Diego Metro JPA provides wholesale wastewater treatment services, whose costs are outside of the control of the City.

Proposed FY 2025-26 Operating Budget & Capital Improvement Program ii
50 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
We continue to allocate funding within the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to maintain, re
place, and upgrade major infrastructure and assets that serve the community.

These include wat
er and sewer infrastructure projects, numerous parks and com munity facility projects, and street repair and replacement projects. Almost $8M in projects are being proposed to enhance either the capacity or functionality of those infrastructure systems, with this amount coming from developer paid contributions to the City over the past few years. T he community has expressed inter est in both expanded pickleball opportunities and in identifying bicycle park/pump track opportunities. The City has responded by including funding for a pickleball siting study and construction once location is identified, along with continued funding for the Bike Park/Pump Track Study project that is in the early desig n phase.

I have not been shy about sharing how wond erful the City of Poway is, and how proud I am to be your City Manager and leading such a special organization. We understand our mission is to serve which the entire organization is aligned with. Being “brilliant at the basics” continues to be the Poway motto which reflects this service-oriented mentality.

I would li
ke to thank the City Council for their ongoing support of the organization and their willingness
to make decisions in the City's best interest, which I understand is not always easy and sometimes means making unpopular decisions. Lastly, I want to recognize the members of the Budget Review Committee for their service and recommendations regarding t he proposed FY 2025-26 budget.

Sincerely,
Chris Hazeltine
City Manager

BUDGET OVERVIEW
The City’s o
perating budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 totals $134.4 million. The operating budget covers the day- to-day costs of providing services for fire protection, law enforcement , planning and engineering, parks and recreation services, streets, drainage and stormwater, and water and wastewater utilities. Also included in this amount are various special programs and debt service costs.

Budget Calendar
The City’s
fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30 of the following calendar year. Oversight and management of the adopted budget is done on an ongoing basis. Roughly halfway through each fiscal year staff begin preparing the following fiscal year’s budget. The proposed budget is developed, then presented first to the City Council appointed Budget Review Committee , comprised of five Poway residents, and then to the City Council for review and approval in June.

Funds of the Bud
get
The City uses a f und accounting system, which segregates revenues and expenditures by specific activity. Under this system, the funding source determines how the money can be spent. The General Fund is the City’s principal funding source for fire protection, law enforcement, parks , and recreation, planning and engineering, and other operations not paid for by dedicated or restricted sources. Enterprise Funds are used to separately account for operations that are self- supporting. For these funds, costs are fully recovered from user charges, which may only be used to support that service, such as water or wastewater. Special Revenue Funds are used to account for activities paid for by dedicated revenue sources with specific limitations, such as gas tax es, which must be spent on street maintenance. Finally, other funds used by the City include Trust Funds, Reserve Funds, and Internal Service Funds. A description of each fund type is provided in the budget’s fund schedules (pages 1-27) which show each fund’s fiscal year beginning balance, projected revenues, budgeted expenditures, transfers to other funds, and projected year -end balance.

Understanding the Budget
The operat
ing budget is broken down into seven departments. Law Enforcement is depicted as a department in the below graphic for budgetary purposes only, as these services are provided through a contract with the San Diego County Sherrif’s Office. Departments are further broken down into divisions, such as Fire Suppression, or Parks , Trails & Landscape Maintenance, and finally by expenditure category, such as Professional/Contract Services.

For each department and its respective divisions, the budget reports proposed expenditures for FY 2025-26, the prior four years of budgeted or actual expenditures, and provides a description of each division.

City Staffing
For FY 2025-26, the budget authorizes 240.98 full-time equivalent positions to staff the City which reflects a minor increase of 0.75 full-time equivalent positions to the authorized staffing level. A summary of the authorized positions by each department and division is shown in the “Authorized Positions” schedule (pages ix-x vi). The department operating budget pages present the organization charts and positions assigned to each division.

Salary adjustments for the Proposed FY 2025-26 are consistent with adopted multi-year employee Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) than run through June 30, 2027. Salary and benefit costs account for roughly 33% of total operating expenditures . This percentage would typically be greater except the City contracts for law enforcement services with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. The City's employee job classifications and salary ranges can be found in the Salary and Wage Schedules on the City’s website.

General Fund
The General Fund has a balanced budget for FY 2025-26, when removing one-time costs as noted below. The General Fund comprises just over half of the City’s overall operating budget with operating expenditures of $63.7 million. Operating costs for fire protection and law enforcement make up nearly 52% of all General Fund expenditures. An additional $11.6 million in transfers of General Fund resources to other funds for debt service, capital replacement, increases in reserves and other purposes bring the total use s of General Fund resources to $ 75.4 million. Included in these amounts is a $1.76 million payment for the City’s FY 2025-26 cost share towards the restoration of the Los Penasquitos Lagoon. While this amount is included in the operating budget, it is not considered a n ongoing City operational cost, as the Unassigned Fund Balance has previously been identified as the funding source for this payment. Poway is in the Los Penasquitos watershed and as such is part of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to contribute to the cost of Phase I of the Los Penasquitos Lagoon Restoration project.

Additionally for FY 2025-26 there is a noted early payoff of some long -standing debt to save over $780,000. Expending $6.2 million in General Fund dollars to realize these savings will also free up debt capacity in the future if needed, while also maintaining or improving on the City’s credit rating to help reduce the interest costs should the City want to issue debt for any future projects . The City has benefitted from sound financial management practices for several decades, which in part is evidenced by the 2021 Pension Obligation Bond issuance at an excellent credit rating from credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s of AA+ Stable. This helps save the City from unnecessary interest costs which could otherwise take away funding utilized in providing other city services.

Finally,
Poway’s Financial Policy and industry best practices dictate the City cannot utilize the General Fund to pay for enterprise fund costs, such as for water or sewer related purposes. The Financial Policy states “Enterprise funds will not be subsidized by the General Fund”.

A breakdown of General Fund expenditures is shown as follows.

FY 2025-26 General Fund Expenditures and Other Uses*
*Does not include noted 2012 Refunding Certificate of Participation Payoff = $6.2m The Genera
l Fund receives its money for operations primarily from property tax, sales tax, and fees for services. For FY 2025-26, General Fund revenues and other sources are projected to total $72.8 million. Property tax and sales tax combined comprise 68% of General Fund revenues. The City receives approximately 21% of the base 1% property tax levy collected by the County Assessor.

The remainder of property taxes generated in the City goes to the Poway Unified School District, the County, the State, and various special districts. The City receives 1.0% of the 7.75% sales tax rate in Poway, with the balance going primarily to the State and County. The City’s portion of the sales tax rate has remained the same since it was originally adopted in 1980, which is the lowest sales tax rate in San Diego County. A breakdown of General Fund revenues is shown below.

June 17, 2025, Item #11
In accordance with the City Council adopted General Fund Reserve Policy, the City maintains a General Fund reserve equivalent to 45% of budgeted annual operating expenditures. This reserve is comprised of three separate reserve funds (Revenue Volatility Reserve Fund, Expenditure Volatility Reserve Fund, and Extreme Events Reserve Fund). The budget includes transfers totaling $1.8 million in the upcoming year to these reserve funds. Additionally, in accordance with the City Council adopted Pension Reserve and Funding Policy, up to 50% of the increase in the General Fund unassigned fund balance each year is set aside in a Pension Reserve Fund which may be used to mitigate future retirement costs. The budget reflects the use of $1.9 million from this fund in FY 2025-26.

Utilities
City-provided
water and wastewater services are supported entirely by customers’ bills. Rates support necessary operational expenditures, the purchase and treatment of raw water, and capital improvements to ensure a safe and reliable system including a water treatment plant, pipes, pump stations, and reservoirs. The budget and financial activity for each utility service is segregated into individual funds. Any unspent budget from a utility’s annual operations is placed in reserve and is used for capital projects and to moderate future rate increases.

The Water Infrastructure Improvement Program (Program) represents an important investment in the City’s aging water system. Phase I of this Program included the construction of a temporary bypass for storing treated water and was completed in late 2022. Phase II of th e P rogram includes the Clearwell Replacement, a $39.4 million project currently under construction that will replace the existing clearwell that was built in 1964 with two new four -million-gallon prestressed concrete tanks, with project completion expected in late spring 2026. Phase III is envisioned to provide a treated water connection to San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) facilities. The City of Poway and the Ramona Municipal Water District entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a Water Purchase Agreement. The MOU is designed to meet the treated water redundant water source Phase III intention at a more economical price which should benefit all Poway water rate payers. The goal of the suite of projects that make up the Program is to improve the reliability, redundancy, and resiliency of Poway’s water system, these projects represent the single largest set of capital improvement projects in the City’s history.

The proposed
FY 2025-26 Water Utility Funds budget includes $42.7 million in total revenues and $47.8 million in total expenditures. These amounts do not include the continued expenditure of $38.1 million in bond proceeds from the September 2023 sale of water revenue bonds used to finance Phase II of the Water Infrastructure Improvement Program . The expenditure total does include the use of $4.6 million in restricted water connection fee revenues accumulated from new development. These funds are being programmed to pay for numerous Capital Improvement Program projects that either enhance system cap acity or provide redundant connections in Poway’s water system to the benefit of system water users. Focusing on just the water utility operating fund, the total budgeted fund expenditures exceed the estimated fund revenues by $1.9 million for FY 2025-26. The FY 2025-26 budget shortfall can be covered with existing reserves, but this is not structurally sustainable going forward.

Approximately 96% of the City’s water supply is purchased from the SDCWA, the cost of which has been exceeding what was projected when the City’s current four-year rate plan was implemented in 2022. This cost is expected to increase in January 2026 by 12% given current SDCWA data. Staff are currently working with the City’s rate consultant to bring forward for City Council consideration updated adjustments to the adopted water rates through a 5 -year Cost of Service Study (COSS).

This study incorporates increased SDCWA water purchase and SDG&E energy costs which together represent 63% of the water operating system costs that are outside of the City of Poway’s control, along with other cost increases that have impacted Poway’s cost of providing services. As a best practice, all but two water agencies in San Diego County, including Poway, have pass -through provisions in their adopted rate schedules allowing them to automatically pass on any increases in SDCWA water rates, or SDG&E energy rates, to customers. Poway does not. This rate study will include consideration for a pass-through ordinance over the 5-year COSS period to help address these major cost drivers outside of City control.

The City of San Diego provides Poway with Recycled water that is utilized by certain user in the South Poway Business Park. San Diego has indicated their intention to raise recycled water rates to system users, including Poway, by 92.6% in the coming 1+ years (depending on how the adjustment is rolled out). If this occurs, recycled water rates would surpass treated water rates charged to Poway customers, and Poway will ensure the utilization of treated wat er to these customers thereby preventing a recycled water rate that is higher than the recycled water rate.

Poway is monitoring this situation and will work with potentially impacted customers as more information is known.

Like water, charges for wastewater service are used to support wastewater system operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation. The City contracts for wastewater treatment with the City of San Diego and only maintains the infrastructure needed to transport the wastewater for treatment. In anticipation of higher operating costs resulting from upgrade s to the City of San Diego ’s sewer treatment and disposal system, as well as its significant water purification project, it is projected that much of the previously accumulated Wastewater Fund balance will be needed for Poway’s share of the City of San Diego Pure Water Program in the near-term. This proactive approach to managing the impacts of the Pure Water Program should minimize impacts to ratepayers, all else being equal. Despite the near -term increase in costs, one of the benefits of the Pure W ater Program is to divert sewage flow from the Point Loma Treatment Plant . This diversion should lower the City’s wastewater treatment costs over the long-term. It is also hoped the Pure Water Program obviates the need for the Point Loma Sewer Treatment Plant to upgrade to secondary treatment, which would result in cost avoidance . The Point Loma Treatment Plant upgrade is mandated to meet regulatory requirements they had received exemption permits on for decades.

This upgrade will come at a cost to all users of the treatment facilities utilized by system users, including Poway, in a proportional amount utilized by each agency. While San Diego is investing in its treatment system, the City is also continuing to invest in its system.

The proposed FY 2025-26 Wastewater Utility Funds budget includes $11.6 million in total revenues and $16.6 million in total expenditures. As previously mentioned, the City proactively accumulated fund balance through incremental rate increases to pay for the City’s portion of the San Diego Pure Water Program. See the Wastewater Utility Funds section of the bud get for more information.

Similar to the Water utility, the expenditure total includes the use of $2.4 million in restricted sewer connection fee revenues accumulated from new development. These funds are being planned to City of Poway
Proposed FY 2025-26 Operating Budget & Capital Improvement Program xxiv
72 of 257
June 17, 2025, Item #11
pay for numerous Capital Improvement Program projects that benefit Poway’s wastewater system users. Part of the noted COSS update is the study and update of wastewater costs and revenues through a 5-year rate adjustment. The rate study will also include consideration for a pass-through ordinance related to wastewater treatment costs where the San Diego Metro JPA provides wholesale wastewater treatment services for the City, whose costs are outside of the control of the City.

Capital Improvement Program
In addition
to funding day -to-day operations, the budget provides funding for various capital projects through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP budget reflects the City’s planned investment in infrastructure such as streets, parks, public facilities and water and wastewater systems and includes a mix of annual and multi-year projects. A total of 78 continuing and new projects are included in the CIP budget with a total budget of $101 million including $27.9 million in funding added in FY 2025-26. Funding for these projects is provided by a variety of sources, most of which are restricted as to their use.

Notable Impacts
The City is r
ealizing the benefits of recent cost recovery and cost reduction/containment actions which positively impact the FY 2025-26 operating budget and are anticipated to continue to positively impact future budgets. Such actions include an update to the City’s ambulance fees in early 2022 in order to reflect the current cost of services provided, thereby generating nearly $1.8 million in additional annual cost recovery. Another action was the issuance of pension obligation bonds in December 2021, which refinanced a substantial portion of the City’s CalPERS unfunded accrued pension liability, resulting in ongoing annual retirement cost savings. Another example is the current five-year law enforcement services contract with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.

Under the current contract that took effect on July 1, 2022, annual cost increase s for each of the first two years of the agreement were just 1.0%, with increases of just 3.5% annually for each of the final three years starting with the 2024-25 fiscal year.

Additional fiscal sustainability efforts include the planned finalization of the ongoing citywide fee study to focus primarily on Development Services and Fire fees which were last updated in 2007.

Additionally, a proposed new project is included for the study and update of the City’s various impact, mitigation, and in -lieu fees. Some of these fees have not been studied or updated in a number of years and are due for review. These updates will be in concert with a third -party consultant to help guide this p rocess. Examples of these fees include traffic mitigation, park mitigation, habitat mitigation, housing in-lieu, and fire protection impact fees. These studies will help bring into alignment these fee areas with the cost of providing those services.

3 ABOUT
The General Fund is the City’s principal source for fire protection, law enforcement, parks and recreation, public works, planning and engineering and other operations that are not funded by dedicated or restricted sources. The primary source of revenues for the General Fund are property taxes, sales tax, and fees for services.

FY 2023-24, FY 2024-25 and FY2025-26 Net Fund Activity includes $1,760,258 in expenditures each year for the City's cost share payment towards the Los Penasquitos Lagoon restoration project, which has previously been determined to be funded from the Unassigned Fund Balance.

FY 2021-22 Expenditures and Other Fund Balance Activity include approximately $32.8 million in bond proceeds and the use of bond proceeds to retire a substantial portion of the City's unfunded pension liability.

FY2025-26 transfer increase is to pay off the 2012 Refunding Certificate of Participation debt related to realize significant interest cost avoidance savings versus paying off and accruing interest costs through 2033. Also includes transfer to the Capital Improvement Fund to fund high priority projects.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND
This fund was created by a transfer from the General Fund to establish a funding source for various community reinvestment Capital Improvement Projects. The original source of funds was a distribution from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund, associated with dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency. Allocating these funds for community reinvestment purposes is intended to mitigate in part the loss of Redevelopment as a financing tool for the City's Capital Improvement Program.

CITY HOUSING FUNDS
Fund Number: 2900
Housing Funds are used to increase the supply of housing for low and moderate income residents under the direction of the Poway Housing Authority. Effective February 1, 2012, redevelopment agencies were dissolved by State Legislative action. This action eliminated the 20% share of tax increment revenue set aside for housing. The source of funds for City Housing is now limited to Housing Special Programs and income produced by Housing Authority properties (Fund 2900).

DEBT MANAGEMENT
The use of debt is a common tool available to local governments when financing capital projects. Over the years the City of Poway has issued millions of dollars of bonds and Certificates of Participations (COPs) to fund streets, buildings, sewer and water facilities and other infrastructure projects. The city periodically evaluates its outstanding debt as well as potential future debt issuances to ensure financing costs are minimized and the use of debt is an appropriate strategy. This schedule provides an overview of the City's current debt. The following page provides more detail about each debt issuance.

Description:

This project involves the installation of adaptive traffic system software, rewiring of advanced loops and reprogramming controllers in order to collect traffic data and ensure progression along the City's regional arterial corridors. Adaptive traffic signals communicate with each other and dynamically adjust signal timing, identify traffic patterns, improve traffic flow and reduce vehicle stops. Corridor improvements in conformance with Poway's General Plan that will improve flow, capacity and safety will also be evaluated and implemented as a part of this project. The City has six arterial roads which support numerous local and residential streets that make up the City of Poway's roadway network. These roads are Community Road, Espola Road, Pomerado Road, Poway Road, Scripps Poway Parkway and Twin Peaks Road. The traffic signals along Espola Road are currently being converted to adaptive signals. This project would upgrade the remaining five arterials. This will be a multi-year phased project beginning with Poway Road the first year.

Description:

The concrete lining along approximately 550 lineal feet of the Community Park concrete channel has deteriorated, exposing the earth in several locations. During storm activity, water flowing through the channel further erodes the exposed earth and undermines the concrete. This project entails evaluation of approximately 550 lineal feet of open earthen channel and concrete ribbon gutter to determine hydrological and structural integrity of that portion within Community Park. The report includes evaluation, recommendations for remediation/repair options of damaged/eroded channel and erosion prevention along sides/bottom of channel within that portion with a cost benefit analysis, and summary of actions for required Federal, State and/or local permitting for each option presented.

The project will hire a qualified consultant to evaluate vehicle charging requirements, identify feasible locations, develop a vehicle charging station plan, research and apply for incentives and grants, work with SDG&E to install required power infrastructure, obtain easements (as necessary), and act as a program manager for the installation of the vehicle charging stations. The California Air Resource Board will finalize the provisions of the Advanced Clean Fleet Rule in 2023, which will require City municipalities to begin transitioning on-road medium/heavy duty fleets to zero emission vehicles (ZEV) beginning January 1, 2024. Vehicle charging stations will be installed in a phased process year to year as more ZEVs are added to the City's fleet.

Description:

This project will remove the sand area and replace it with shade and concrete where picnic tables can be set. The sand area poses a maintenance challenge and safety risk. When the sand is on the adjacent concrete, it becomes slippery. The shade will provide cover for adults supervising their children on the equipment.

Description:

This project would replace the sound system at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. The primary sound system at the PCPA was last upgraded in 2009 and some components are beginning to fail. Because all components must work together in a system, replacement of all items at once is necessary. This includes power distribution systems, mixers, patch bays, speakers, and associated equipment. Because the technology is always evolving, items will not be replaced on a one-for-one basis; rather, the new a system will meet or exceed the standard of the previous system to deliver professional sound throughout the venue. This system is required for the Performing Arts Center to function and host performances. This project will be reimbursed at 35% by PUSD after completion (funds will be received in FY26)

The dumpster and grease trap enclosure used by the Hamburger Factory and maintained by the City is not currently covered. Stormwater pollution prevention regulations require the grease trap to be covered. Addition of a roof structure will prevent runoff of pollution from the dumpsters and grease trap.

Additionally, the berm surrounding the dumpster/grease trap collects rain water and should be removed.

Description:

This project consists of removing the upper wood structure including beams, fascia, soffit, roof, and roof deck. There is a large amount of termite and dry wood damage that needs to be
replaced. The structure will be replaced like for like, however the roof will have asphalt shingles rather than concrete tiles that are currently being used, which would be easier to maintain.

City of Poway - Capital Improvement Program (Public Facilities) Description:

The pool filter media has been recommended to be replaced for the past two years after its annual media inspection with our preventative maintenance contract. This project replaces and upgrades the internal filter media with Activated Filter Media (AFM) for all seven pool filters, replaces any damaged internal laterals and installs new external auto air relief fittings. AFM will last the lifetime of the filters and will not ever need to be replaced like silica sand does every 5-6 years.

This project creates a safety bumper and stairs with a landing area (or an access ladder) for the chemical loading dock at the Swim Center.

The project is funded by a USEPA grant ($600,000) and will be bundled with the Infiltration and Inflow Study (SW008).

Description:

This project will design and prepare construction documents to replace approximately 1,330 feet of existing 12-inch diameter surging pipeline with 15-inch diameter pipeline on Powers Road between Tassel Road and McFeron Road.
