Subject: City Manager’s Proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 Operating Budget & FY 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Program (All
Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino:
1. Conduct the Public Hearing on the Proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 Operating Budget and 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan; and

City Manager's Comments
Packet Page. 459
The City Manager recommends the proposed FY 2026/27 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program. Based on the discussion at the City Council study session on the budget, the proposed Capital projects has been revised to add back the projects that were recommended for deferral. In addition, the City Council requested that the City Manager look at the $3 million requested by public speakers for the Arts.
The City Manager reviewed the matter and is proposing the following for City Council consideration. (1) That the City Council appropriate $1 million from the Cultural Development Fund fund balance be appropriated in the General Fund budget specifically for the Arts. The City Council consider at a future meeting to create a Arts & Culture Committee to be staffed by the City Manager’s Office to recommend projects.
One consideration in doing this would be to create two separate Committees and have a dedicated Historic Preservation Committee and a dedicated Arts & Culture Committee. (3) Finally, the City Manager recommends he look at events for the coming year and see if there can be an Arts & Culture specific event.
Executive Summary
The FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget and FY 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) have been prepared in accordance with the City Charter and reflect the City’s commitment to maintain essential services, advancing strategic priorities, and preserving long-term fiscal sustainability amid a moderating economic environment.
The proposed budget totals $318.2 million in revenues and $328.5 million in expenditures across all funds, including $9.9 million in new CIP appropriations. The General Fund remains financially stable with projected spendable reserves of approximately $104.9 million, exceeding the City’s reserve policy requirements.
However, the budget continues to reflect structural challenges driven by slowing revenue growth, increasing personnel and operational costs, and the City’s reliance on economically sensitive revenue sources such as Sales and Use Tax and Measure S.
The proposed budget incorporates conservative revenue projections across all funds, target expenditure reductions, and continued investment in critical infrastructure and community priorities. Adoption of the budget and CIP will provide the financial framework necessary to support City operations, deliver services, and advance the City Council’s goals.
While reserves remain strong, recurring expenditure growth continues to outpace recurring revenue growth, creating a structural imbalance that must be addressed over time.
Background
Section 701 of the City Charter provides that, at least sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the City Manager shall prepare and submit to the Mayor and Council a proposed budget and accompanying budget message explaining the City’s financial plan, work programs, organizational goals, community priorities, and proposed financial policies for the ensuing fiscal year. Section 702 further requires the City Manager to prepare and submit a multi-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which is to be revised and extended annually for projects pending or under construction Packet Page. 460
or acquisition. Article VII, Section 703, states that the Council shall publish a general summary of the budget and CIP and hold one (1) or more public hearings. Following the public hearing(s), the budget and CIP shall be adopted, with any amendments deemed appropriate by the Council, before the beginning of each fiscal year.
On March 18, 2026, the Mayor and City Council received and filed the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Mid-Year Financial Update and adopted Resolution 2026-031 authorizing a budget amendment of $1,085,904 to the FY 2025/26 Operating Budget. The mid-year report projected year-end General Fund revenues of approximately $222.1 million and Packet Page. 461
an estimated year-end fund balance of approximately $153.3 million, inclusive of $113.3 million in spendable reserves. The revenue and expenditure conditions identified in the mid-year report, including slowed activity in Sales & Use Tax, Measure S, and Utility Users Tax, informed the revenue assumptions and expenditure framework underlying the proposed FY 2026/27 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program.
The development of the FY 2026/27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget began in late 2025, at which time staff identified an initial General Fund funding gap between projected revenues and expenditures. During the FY 2026/27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget Kickoff, the City Manager directed departments to prepare budget proposals that included up to a 5% reduction from their current appropriations. This approach was intended to help address ongoing revenue constraints and support the City’s efforts to achieve a balanced budget.
Departments were given flexibility in how to meet the reduction target, including holding positions vacant or reducing operational expenditures. While the full 5% reduction may not ultimately be necessary, the exercise provided a framework for identifying potential cost-saving measures and prioritizing essential services. Several key considerations occurring in FY 2025/26 influence the development of the proposed budget as city operations continue, evolve, and change, as does the external economic landscape at the National, State, and County level.
On April 29, 2026, the Mayor and City Council held a Special Meeting Budget Workshop to review the Proposed FY 2026/27 Operating and CIP Budget. The Budget Book and Budget in Brief were also made available online, in both English and Spanish, on the City’s website at https://www.sanbernardino.gov/195/Budget-Books. The proposed FY 2026/27 budget presented to the Mayor and City Council totaled $318.2 million in revenues and $333.4 million in expenditures, including $14.9 million for Capital Improvement Projects. To help balance the budget, $15.0 million in CIP projects was proposed for adjustment, with $8.8 million reallocated to more appropriate special revenue funds and $6.3 million proposed for deferral into FY 2026/27. The Mayor and City Council directed staff to return the deferred Capital Improvement Projects for further consideration at the Budget Hearing.
Discussion
The FY 2026/27 Proposed Budget is developed within a moderating economic environment marked by slowing growth, softening consumer activity, and evolving revenue performance across key categories. While some revenue streams continue to demonstrate resilience, other revenue streams, particularly those tied to consumer spending and development activity, are showing signs of deceleration. As a result, it is critical to evaluate broader national, state, and regional economic conditions to inform revenue assumptions and guide prudent financial planning for the upcoming fiscal year.
Economic Indicators
U.S. Real GDP Growth
Packet Page. 462
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one of the broadest measures of a country’s economic activity since it estimates the total value of goods and services produced within a country over a specific period. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Real GDP contracted 0.6% in Q1 2025 before rebounding through mid-year, then decelerated sharply to 0.5% in Q4 2025 and 1.6% in Q1 2026. Personal Consumption Expenditures with GDP is the most relevant factor to municipal revenue forecasting since it is the primary driver of taxable retail activity; this category followed a similar pattern of sharp declines and then a slight increase. It peaked at 3.5% in Q3 2025 before declining to 1.9% in Q4 2025 and 1.4% in Q1 2026. The GDP pictured below shows that the U.S. economy is still moving forward, but not in a smooth manner.
Businesses are investing and expanding, especially in technology and equipment, which has helped keep the economic growth positive. Meanwhile, households are becoming more careful with their spending, the housing market remains weak, and inflation is putting pressure on family budgets. Therefore, economic growth is occurring but not every sector that contributes to GDP is benefitting or contributing equally. Much of the recent growth is being supported by business investment, exports, and government spending rather than consumer spending. In the City of San Bernardino, the residents likely feel the effects of higher prices and housing costs even though at the national level, the economy appears to be slowly growing.
California and Regional Labor Market Conditions
A healthy job market means more people are working, earning, and spending, which for the City of San Bernardino would translate directly into sales tax revenue. By that measure, California and the Inland Empire are holding steady, but not growing. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that California’s unemployment rate has remained between 5.3% and 5.5% since November 2025. Locally, the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario region reported an unemployment rate of 4.9% in April 2026, with Packet Page. 463
essentially no net job growth over the prior year (extracted on June 4, 2026). The sectors growing locally, primarily healthcare and education, contribute to the regional economy, but they do not generate the volume of taxable transactions that fund City services. Sales tax is collected on goods and services purchased at stores, dealerships, restaurants, and job sites. The industries shrinking in our region are precisely those that drive that activity. Construction is down 4.0%, manufacturing down
4.2%, and professional and business services down 3.5% compared to the prior year.
When the industries that buy equipment, materials, and commercial services are contracting, the City feels it directly in its revenue. A regional job market that is flat overall, and declining in its most commercially active sectors, means the City must remain conservative in its revenue projections to respond to these patterns seen.
Fuel Prices & Revenue Volatility
Fuel prices represent one of the most visible and immediate economic forces affecting both the City’s revenue and its costs. Fuel prices increased significantly during FY 2025/26 due to a combination of global market conditions, refinery capacity constraints, regulatory requirements, and geopolitical uncertainty combined with the closure of two major California refineries – Phillips 66 & Valero’s Benicia – along with CARB regulations are contributing to the risk of prices continuing to rise in FY 2026/27. For the City, this means that when the gas prices go up, the City collects more in fuelrelated sales tax, simply because the taxable value of every gallon sold is higher. But, high gas prices also means that the City also has higher fuel expenses for its own fleet like police vehicles, public works trucks, and other essential equipment. An increase in revenue also comes with increased expenses. More broadly, when residents need to spend more at the pump, they have less to spend elsewhere such as restaurants, retailers, and car dealerships. These businesses generate the bulk of the City’s sales tax revenues, meaning that high fuel prices leave little room for broad-based sales tax growth in the year ahead.
California Sales Tax Trends & City of San Bernardino Performance After two consecutive years of decline, California’s sales tax revenues are showing signs of modest recovery. In HdL Companies’ March 2026 California Forecast, statewide sales tax revenues are projected to grow 1.8% in FY 2025/26 and 2.2% in FY 2026/27. While statewide growth is positive, the projections come with significant uncertainty, driven by tariff-related price changes, elevated fuel costs, and cautious consumer behavior that shows no signs of reversing in the near term. Locally, the City’s sales and use tax receipts for October through December 2025 were 8.5% higher than the same period the prior year. However, this increase was largely the result of a onetime recovery of taxes that had been missing from prior periods; this activity is not a reflection of stronger retail activity in the community. When those one-time adjustments are removed, underlying taxable sales in San Bernardino declined 6.9% compared to the same quarter in 2024. During that same period, San Bernardino County as a whole grew 5.9% meaning that the numbers the City is seeing are not keeping pace with its own region. Several factors are driving this gap – new competition from businesses outside the City limits continues to pull retail spending away from San Bernardino.
Online shopping is capturing a growing share of consumer dollars that once stayed Packet Page. 464
local, the loss of taxes from the prior closure of an outlet in the business and industry group, and key revenue categories such as general consumer goods and business-tobusiness sales posted notable declines this quarter.
California State Budget (Structural Deficit)
California continues to face significant long-term fiscal challenges despite recent improvements in near-term revenue projections. In January 2026, the Summary of the Governor’s Proposed 2026-27 Budget proposed a $348.9 billion State budget projecting an estimated $2.9 billion deficit for FY 2026/27, substantially lower than prior projections of approximately $18 billion due to stronger-than-anticipated tax collections, resilient financial markets, and improved revenue assumptions. However, despite the improved short-term outlook, the State’s broader fiscal condition remains structurally imbalanced. According to the California Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO), California is projected to continue facing ongoing structural deficits ranging between approximately $20 billion and $30 billion annually throughout the remainder of the decade, with some forecasts projecting annual shortfalls approaching $35 billion in future years. The LAO has noted that recent revenue gains have been heavily influenced by strong financial market performance and technology-sector related investment activity, both of which remain highly volatile and susceptible to economic downturns. The State’s fiscal condition remains particularly relevant to local governments, as structural imbalances at the State level may create additional risks for cities through reduced funding flexibility, delayed program reimbursements, shifts in fiscal responsibility, or future reductions in State-supported programs. Similar to many jurisdictions throughout California, the City continues to experience budgetary pressure associated with inflation, rising operational costs, labor expenditures, and slowing revenue growth. Accordingly, the City continues to prioritize conservative revenue forecasting, prudent expenditure management, and long-term financial sustainability in response to ongoing economic uncertainty at both the State and national levels.
FY 2026/27 Proposed Budget Overview
The City Manager’s Proposed Operating and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the Fiscal Year 2026/27 for the City of San Bernardino totals $318.2 million in total revenues and $328.5 million in total expenditures. Of these expenditures, $9.9 million is newly requested funding for the Capital Improvement Program. The total budget reflects the City’s total financial plan across all fund types. These fund types can be categorized into five major fund categories: General Fund, Special Revenues Funds, Capital Project Funds (also known as Development Impact Fees), Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service Funds.
Packet Page. 465
An important distinction for these numbers is that some of the City’s funds are legally restricted: the dollars collected in certain fund types can only be spent on specific, designated purposes. Capital Project Funds, for example, are used exclusively for infrastructure and facility improvements; Enterprise Funds support the City’s integrated waste management operations; Internal Service Funds cover costs shared across City departments such as general liability, workers compensation, fleet operations, and information technology. Special Revenue Funds account for programs and services supported by dedicated revenue sources. The largest portion of the budget, General Fund, is the most significant fund type that supports the day-to-day operations and the delivery of core community services including public safety, parks, libraries, operations and maintenance. It is also the fund over which the City has the greatest discretion in how resources are allocated. The General Fund also provides financial support to special revenue funds whose own-source revenues are insufficient to fully cover their operational costs. In FY 2026/27, the General Fund includes a transfer of $7.6 million to the Animal Services Fund indicating a recurring General Fund obligation that reduce the dollars available for other City services.

Grand Total 318,179,271$ 328,463,124$
Packet Page. 466
Of the $233.8 million in budgeted General Fund revenues, Sales & Use Tax and Measure S are 44% of the total and Utility User Tax is the second largest category at 14%. The City is highly dependent on a single source of revenue that is volatile; the City’s financial condition is directly and immediately sensitive to changes in consumer spending and retail activity and is seen in the same fiscal year the slowdown occurs.
Sales and Use Tax & Measure S projected revenues for FY 2026/27 are reflected to decrease by $1.0 million combined, or -2%, as compared to the FY 2025/26 adopted budget. These projections are in line with the data available and trends seen locally:
consumer spending is cautious, regional retail is flat, and the City is underperforming the county. The revenue sources cannot be assumed to grow in the current environment, and staff recommends continuing to use a conservative projection for the time being.
Utility User Tax is projected to increase modestly by approximately $317k, or 1%, from the FY 2025/26 adopted budget. With energy costs rising driven by the Middle East conflict, and the closing of California refineries, higher utility costs may result in modest increases in Utility Users Tax revenues; however, these same increases create additional financial pressure on residents and businesses.
Licenses & Permits are projected to decrease in FY 2026/27 by $1.0 million, or -7%, due to slower development and a direct reflection of the labor market indications that show the construction sector employment is down by 4% regionally. With fewer construction projects occurring, less permits are pulled meaning the City may expect to see a decrease in these revenues.
Fines and Forfeitures & Intergovernmental are projected to increase by $3.3 million combined in FY 2026/27. The activity seen in both these revenue categories within FY 2025/26 due to parking enforcement fees and code administrative citations have been Revenue Category FY 2023/24

elevated and staff expects these revenue levels to sustain given the current operations in place.
General Fund Structural Gap
The FY 2026/27 Proposed Budget reflects an operational gap between General Fund revenues and expenditures. This gap reflects the cumulative pressure of a revenue base that has not kept pace with the cost of delivering services to a growing and evolving community.
The budget as originally proposed in the April 29, 2026, Budget Workshop included a plan to address this gap in part through the deferral of approximately $15 million in Capital Improvement Projects previously budgeted in the General Fund. Of that amount, $8 million was identified for transfer to more appropriate funding sources, with the remainder proposed for deferral into FY 2027/28. While these recommendations would have contributed toward closing the budget gap, they were also intended to align the Capital Improvement Program with current organizational capacity. The Engineering and Project Management teams are actively advancing an ambitious portfolio of projects that were programmed in prior years and are currently in various stages of design and construction. Deferring select projects would allow the City to focus available staff and resources, both financial and operational, on successfully delivering the significant work already underway, ensuring projects are completed as effectively, efficiently, and expeditiously as possible while maximizing the value of existing investments. Additionally, approximately $1.9 million in supplemental funding was added in FY 2026/27 to the City Hall project within General Fund in response to direction received from Mayor and City Council at the budget workshop.
At the direction of Mayor and City Council, the deferred Capital Improvement Projects are being returned for further consideration at the Budget Hearing. As a result, the operational gap remains an active item before the Council. The City’s ability to close this gap, and to build toward long-term structural balance, depends on two things working together: disciplined expenditure management and a deliberate, sustained effort to diversify and grow the City’s revenue base beyond its current dependence on sales tax.
FY 2026/27 General Fund Expenditures
The FY 2026/27 Proposed Budget reflects total General Fund Expenditures of $251.1 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 2% from the FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget. While the overall change appears modest, the composition of that change shows a more nuanced story about the various cost pressures the City is managing. Visually shown below is also the percentage composition of the departments within the General Fund, the largest being Police Department at 60% of the total General Fund budget.

Personnel Costs remains the single largest category in the General Fund, totaling $160.4 million in FY 2026/27. This represents 64% of the total General Fund expenditure budget, and $16.6 million increase, or 12% from the FY 2025/26 adopted budget. Primary cost drivers within this category are full-time salaries, insurance costs, and CalPERS Unfunded Liability. Full-time salaries increased by 9% reflecting negotiated compensation adjustments across bargaining units, as well as merit increases for those subject to receiving them. Insurance premiums are also rising, which reflects a 12% increase in the personnel costs, and lastly the CalPERS unfunded liability increased by 7% from the prior fiscal year, totaling $41.9 million. However, these increases also reflect the impact of the addition of 343 full-time positions to the City in the span of five (5) fiscal years: FY 2020/21 through FY 2025/26. The most significant growth occurred in FY 2021/22 through FY 2023/24 when the organization added 240 full-time positions through various initiatives. Position additions of this magnitude, in a short span of time, in a City that is dependent on volatile revenue sources, and lacks a steady revenue source such as Property Tax, creates significant operational pressure to support personnel costs but lessens the resources available for operational costs.
Maintenance and Operations expenditures in FY 2026/27 total $41.6 million, which is a 3% increase from the FY 2025/26 adopted budget. The majority of the line items within this category encompass a standard 3% inflationary adjustments with materials and supplies increasing by about 12% overall and outside legal services increasing by about 6%. These increases reflect the broader inflationary pressures on good, services, commodities, and the management of an active litigation environment.
Operating Expenses encompass the internal service charges throughout the City for Packet Page. 469
the Liability, Workers Compensation, Information Technology, and Fleet Funds. These expenses in FY 2026/27 total $45.5 million within General Fund, which is an 18% increase from the FY 2025/26 adopted budget. The primary increase for these charges are related the Fleet Service Charges due to rising maintenance costs, fuel costs, and increasing cost of the fleet lease model contract.
Capital Improvement Projects in the Proposed Budget encompass any new funding allocations in the General Fund for existing projects that require additional resources.
The budget allocation currently reflects $1.9 million specifically assigned to the City Hall Feasibility Study aligning with the Mayor and City Council’s direction during the April 29, 2026 Budget Workshop to continue forward with the City Hall project. The project currently has a budget allocation within General Fund in FY 2025/26 of $248k, the additional budget allocation in FY 2026/27 would bring the total project budget to $2.2 million which was previously identified by the engineering team to be the funding needing to complete the study.
Departmental Budget Reductions are included in the FY 2026/27 Proposed Budget to assist in working towards a reduced structural gap in the General Fund. Below are the items included in department budgets as reductions. These were submitted by the department, reviewed and approved by the City Manager after deeming the reductions to not impact core services the City provides to the community of San Bernardino. ❖ General Government’s budget is reduced by approximately $2.9 million due to the closure of a distribution center in 2025, which ended a sales tax sharing agreement, and reduced General Fund support for Animal Services following renegotiated partner cost-sharing agreements.
❖ City Manager’s Office budget is reduced by approximately $220k due to the department holding the Assistant City Manager position vacant for 8 months. ❖ The Finance Department’s budget is reduced by $194k due to the department holding a Grants Assistant position vacant for 12 months, a DBE Specialist vacant for six months, and an overall reduction in contractual services. ❖ Economic Development’s budget is reduced by approximately $198k due to the department holding a Senior Economic Development Manager vacant for 12 months.
❖ The Community Development & Housing Department’s budget is reduced by approximately $1.8 million. This reduction is primarily due to holding the following positions vacant for 12 months: one Assistant Planner (FLEX), one Community Development Technician, and one Ombudsperson. In addition, the Navigation Center operations budget has been revised from $2.0 million in originally programmed General Fund support, with $1.0 million now funded through the Opioid Fund. These operating costs are intended to be partially supported by the Opioid Fund for one year, after which staff will evaluate alternative funding sources during future budget development cycles. The department has also reduced $386k in contractual services. ❖ The Police Department’s budget is reduced by approximately $5.8 million which consists of $4.4 million in proposed salary savings and $1.4 million in motor vehicles.
Packet Page. 470
❖ The Parks & Recreation Department’s budget is reduced by $117k due to the department holding a Community Recreation Program Supervisor vacant for 12 months.
❖ The Public Works Department’s budget is reduced by approximately $1.3 million, primarily due to anticipated salary savings. The Engineering team that supports Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) is budgeted in the General Fund; however, as staff actively work on projects, their time is charged to those projects. This results in a natural reduction in General Fund expenditures, as actual staff costs are recovered through project billing and allocated as overhead to the appropriate projects.
❖ The Library Department’s budget is reduced by approximately $265k primarily due to the department holding a Library Technician I (FLEX) position vacant for 12 months and reduced contractual services.
Department Budget Increases are included within General Fund and are minimal.
Below are items included in the FY 2026/27 Proposed Budget:
❖ The Police Department has an increase of approximately $350k due to ongoing contractual obligations that were previously funded by ARPA. ❖ The Parks & Recreation department has an increase of approximately $229k primarily due to increased funding for Special Events and pool maintenance contracts to continue allowing for year-round programming. ❖ The City Clerk, Public Works and Legal Services Department had increases tied to CPI increases in contractual obligations. Across the three departments, the budget increases total $249k.
❖ The Economic Development Department had a $74k increase due to contractual obligations for increased real estate services.
FY 2026/27 Projected Fund Balance
Fund Balance represents the accumulated financial resources available to the City, calculated as the difference between what the City collects over time versus what it’s spent. Fund Balance serves as a financial cushion to provide stability during periods of economic downturns and provides the City with saved resources to respond to unexpected needs without disrupting core services.

CALCULATION OF FUND BALANCE
Packet Page. 471
The City’s projected General Fund balance at the close of FY 2026/27 is estimated to be $144.8 million, $40.0 million of it being nonspendable, meaning the actual spendable fund balance is projected to be $104.9 million. The projected fund balance also complies with the Council-adopted General Fund Reserve Policy of 25% total budgeted expenditures: 15% Emergency Reserve and 10% Economic Contingency Reserve. Together, these two reserves total $62.8 million reflecting the disciplined financial stewardship exercised over multiple budget cycles.
However, the cumulative four-year trend shows that while the City meets its reserve policy entering FY 2026/27, the net fund balance overall has declined approximately $27 million since FY 2022/23, with the high point in recent years. The decline has two distinct origins:
❖ The first dynamic is the intentional use of fund balance to support capital improvement projects. This reserve accumulated since the adoption of Measure S and use of this reserve is a legitimate and planned use of reserves that reflect the City’s investment in infrastructure and facilities. Capital fund balances drawdown, while still impacting overall fund balance, represent deliberate decisions made in the context of the broader investment strategy for the City’s parks, facilities, streets, etc.
❖ The second dynamic is unplanned use of fund balance. In FY 2024/25, the General Fund revenues fell short of what was needed to fully cover the operational expenditures.
The FY 2026/27 budget reflects a projected operational deficit of approximately $8.4 million, partially offset by $8.8 million in Capital Improvement Projects being transferred to more appropriate funding sources and that budget then reverting back into fund balance. The net draw on fund balance is manageable in the context of current reserves and the City remains in compliance with its reserve policy. The trend line for future years remains clear though: the single largest expenditure pressure in General Fund, personnel costs, continue growing approximately 12% annually while the City’s largest and most critical revenue source isn’t keeping pace and is estimated to grow modestly but is subject to global, state and local economic changes. If the gap between rising costs and modest revenue growth persists, the City’s fund balance will ACFR 2021-22 ACFR 2022-23 ACFR 2023-24 ACFR 2024-25

FUND BALANCE DESIGNATION
Packet Page. 472
continue to absorb the difference. The FY 2026/27 Proposed Budget has been built on a foundation of conservative revenue assumptions and deliberate expenditure management reflecting a responsible budget during a challenging economic environment. The City’s long-term fiscal health depends on thoughtful management of our resources and focusing on prioritization in each year, ensuring optimization of all available resources, and the need to grow and diversify the revenue base within the City.
Capital Improvement Program FY 2027-2031
The City’s capital improvement program is a testament to the sustained investment San Bernardino has made in its future. Across all funds, the City maintains an amended capital budget of approximately $196.0 million in FY 2025/26, including $54.6 million in General Fund capital. Of that, Measure S portfolio alone accounts for nearly $51.7 million. Approximately $163.9 million in prior-year appropriations are expected to carry forward into FY 2026/27, with an additional $9.9 million in proposed new appropriations to continue supporting ongoing projects. This portfolio also reflects approximately $8.8 million in General Fund project budget reallocations to more appropriate funding sources, ensuring the program is aligned with current capacity and funding strategy.
Together, this results in a CIP portfolio of approximately $165 million entering FY 2026/27. These figures represent more than funding – they are real commitments to the neighborhoods, streets, and facilities that shape daily life for our residents. Active capital priorities span the full breadth of community investment, from street rehabilitation and park improvements to the Navigation Center, a transformational project funded through ARPA and other dedicated funding sources that reflects the City’s commitment to addressing homelessness with lasting, meaningful solutions.
Delivering on commitments of this scale requires disciplined management of capacity alongside funding. The City’s engineering and project management team is actively advancing an ambitious portfolio of projects, doing so with the focus and precision that complex capital delivery demands. With $163.9 million in active appropriations already in motion across the organization, the priority this fiscal year is to advance the work already underway and deliver it to the community as effectively and efficiently as possible.
FY 2026/27 Appropriations Limit Calculation
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, introduced by Proposition 4 in 1979 and later amended by Proposition 111 in 1990, imposes limits on the growth rate of appropriations for cities and other local governments. This growth rate is based on changes in population and California's Per Capita Personal Income. In May 2026, the California Department of Finance provided cities with updated factors for population change and Per Capita Personal Income to use in calculating their appropriation limits.
For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the change in the California Per Capita Personal Income is
4.95% and the change in San Bernardino's population is -0.06%. Based on this data, San Bernardino's appropriation limit for FY 2026-27 is calculated at $545,191,566. The total appropriations subject to limitation in the City’s FY 2026-27 budget is $188,964,926. The City remains below the legal appropriation limit by $356,226,640.
Packet Page. 473
Personnel Compensation
As changes are made to salaries or classifications, the City is required to adopt a revised salary schedule and resolution in a public meeting. The attached salary schedule meets the California Public Employees Retirement Systems (CalPERS) pay rate reporting requirements in accordance with Government Code Section 20636 defining “Compensation Earnable” and the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 570.5. Attachment 9 provides the City of San Bernardino’s city-wide FY 2026/27 salary schedule.
Investment Policy
State law requires that all municipalities have an investment policy approved by its governing board and that it approves the policy on an annual basis. The investment policy serves as the foundation of a local agency’s investment goals and priorities. A good investment policy encompasses the cash, treasury, and investment management functions of an agency. It serves as a guide for setting and achieving program objectives, defines rules and establishes benchmarks, and reduces exposure to liability. An approved investment policy demonstrates that the governing body is performing its fiduciary responsibilities, thereby instilling trust and confidence in the public it serves. It is also important to note that rating agencies pay close attention to an agency’s investment policy and portfolio in determining its credit rating. The Finance Department is responsible for submitting the Investment Policy for adoption by the Mayor and City Council on an annual basis. For FY 2026/27, the City had no major policy or operational changes in the Investment Policy. Attachment 5 provides the City of San Bernardino’s Investment Policy for FY 2026/27.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The proposed budget review aligns with all key targets of the City Council’s Strategic Plan: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity, Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community, Improved Quality of Life, Economic Growth & Development.
Funding projects and programs at every level of the organization ensures that the City can achieve the goals and priorities established by the Mayor and City Council.
Fiscal Impact
The adoption of the operating budget allocates the available resources to programs, services, and departments for the upcoming fiscal year. The total revenue allocations for FY 2026/27, across all funds is $318,179,271.11: $233,826,392 in General Fund and $84,352,879.11 for all Other Funds. The total operating and CIP expenditure allocations for FY 2025/26 across all funds is $328,463,123.98: $251,084,665 in General Fund and $77,378,458.99 for all Other Funds. Of these expenditure allocations, $9,899,568 specifically pertain to CIP expenditures.

APPROPRIATION LIMITATION COMPUTATION
For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the change in the California Per Capita Personal Income is 4.95% and the change in San Bernardino's population is -0.06%. Based on this data, San Bernardino's appropriation limit for FY 2026-27 is calculated at $545,191,566. The total appropriations subject to limitation in the City’s FY 2026-27 budget is $188,964,926. The City remains below the legal appropriation limit by $356,226,640.
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, introduced by Proposition 4 in 1979 and later amended by Proposition 111 in 1990, imposes limits on the growth rate of appropriations for cities and other local governments. This growth rate is based on changes in population and California's Per Capita Personal Income. In May 2026, the California Department of Finance provided cities with updated factors for population change and Per Capita Personal Income to use in calculating their appropriation limits.

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.
Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2026, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2026–27. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the factors to calculate the 2026–27 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit. Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2026. Please note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised.
The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2026–27 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2026-27 4.95
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2026–27 appropriation limit.
2026–27:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.95 percent
Population Change = -0.14 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 4.95 + 100 = 1.0495 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.14 + 100 = 0.9986
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2026–27: 1.0495 x 0.9986 = 1.0480 Packet Page. 486

Packet Page. 493
I. PURPOSE
To establish guidelines for the prudent investment of public funds in a manner that will protect City funds, meet daily cash flow expenditures, and comply with all federal, state, and local laws and ordinances governing the investment of public funds.
II. POLICY & ADOPTION
It shall be the policy of the City of San Bernardino to annually review and adopt an Investment Policy by resolution of the City Council. This Policy applies to all financial assets and funds held by the City of San Bernardino and the Successor Agency to the San Bernardino Redevelopment Agency. The funds covered by this policy include:
*General Fund
*Special Revenue Funds
*Capital Project Funds
*Proprietary Funds
*Other funds that may be created
Any modifications to the Policy must be approved by the City Council.
III. PROCEDURES
The Director of Finance shall annually review the City's Investment Policy, and incorporate any changes in state law, recommendations from the City's Investment Advisor, recommendations from the various national and state organizations of municipal finance officers, or other changes recommended by City staff. The revised Investment Policy shall be presented to the Finance Committee and the City Council for review and approval.
(A) Responsibilities
No person may engage in investment activities except as provided under the terms of this Policy and the procedures established by the Director of Finance.
1. Responsibilities of the City Council
The City Council shall annually consider and adopt a written Investment Policy. As provided in this Policy, the Council shall receive monthly Investment Reports.
2. Responsibilities of the Director of Finance
The Director of Finance is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the City Manager and is subject to his/her direction and supervision. The Director of Finance is charged with responsibility for the conduct of all Finance Department operations. The City Charter places the "City Exhibit A
Packet Page. 494
Treasurer" responsibilities amongst the duties of the Director of Finance.
That individual is charged with responsibility for carrying out all investment actions. He/she may delegate the day-to-day investment activities to their designee(s) but not the responsibility for the overall investment program. If authorized by the City Council, the Director of Finance may also utilize the services of an external investment advisor to assist with the investment program.
The Director of Finance, through supporting staff members, is responsible to manage all public funds and securities belonging to or under the control of the City and the Successor Agency, including the deposit and investment of those funds in accordance with principles of sound treasury management and applicable laws and ordinances.
Appropriate internal controls designed to ensure that assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse, including but not limited to separation of duties and multiple approvers for transactions, shall be maintained at all times in order to safeguard the City's assets.
3. Responsibilities of the City's Investment Advisor (if applicable) The City may engage in the services of outside professionals for evaluation and advice regarding the City's investment program. An authorized Investment Advisor may provide investment management services, which may also include facilitating trade executions under the direction of the Director of Finance or designee. Any Investment Advisor shall be registered by the Securities and Exchange Commission and licensed to do business in the State of California. An authorized Investment Advisor shall invest the City's funds in investments that are in compliance with this policy and provide accurate and timely reports of its investment activities to City staff. The Investment Advisor shall never take possession of the City's funds or assets.
4. Internal Controls
The Director of Finance is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, fraud or misuse.
The City's external independent auditing firm shall perform an annual analysis and review of internal controls, account activity and compliance with policies and procedures.
(B) Prudent Investor Rule
The standard of prudence to be used by the Director of Finance shall be the "prudent investor" standard. This shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio.
Exhibit A
Packet Page. 495
The "Prudent Investor Rule" provides, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53600.3, that investments shall be made with judgment and care-under circumstances then prevailing - which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived. The Director of Finance and any designee of the Director of Finance, as investment officers acting in accordance with written
procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for any individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
(C) Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
In addition to state and local statutes relating to conflicts of interest, all persons involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that conflicts with proper execution of the investment program or impairs their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officers are required to annually file applicable financial disclosures as required for “public officials who manage public investments” by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) and are subject to California law relative to conflicts of interest.
(D) Level of Investment
The City strives to maintain the level of investment of all investable cash as near to 100 percent as possible through current and projected cash flow management.
The Director of Finance shall maintain a system to monitor and forecast revenues and expenditures so that City funds can be invested to the fullest extent possible while providing sufficient liquidity to meet the City's reasonably anticipated cash flow requirements. Maturities of investments will be selected to provide necessary liquidity, manage interest rate risk, and optimize earnings. Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds. (E) Investment Objectives
The City seeks safety and liquidity in all of its investments followed by yield.
Safety, liquidity, and yield are defined as follows:
1. Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
2. Liquidity. The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature Exhibit A
Packet Page. 496
concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands.
3. Yield. The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above.
(F) Allowable Investments
The investments listed in this Policy are authorized investments pursuant to Sections 53601 and 53635 of the California Government Code and are authorized investments for the City subject, however, to the restrictions set forth in Section "K" of this Investment Policy. In the event that an apparent discrepancy is found between this Policy and the Government Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence.
(G) Collateralization
If collateral is required for a particular investment type, it will be provided in compliance with California Government Code requirements. (H) Investment Pools/Mutual Funds
Prior to investing in any pooled investment program (e.g., LAIF, money market funds), the Director of Finance will review the program's documentation (e.g., investment policy, policies for participation, fees) to determine the appropriateness of the pool for City funds. Whenever the City has funds invested in a pooled investment program, the Director of Finance should periodically review the pool's investment holdings. The review shall, at a minimum, obtain the following information:
A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.
A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.
A description of who may invest in the program, how often, and what size of deposits and withdrawals are allowed.
A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. A description of how the pool/fund utilizes reserves, retained earnings, etc.
A fee schedule, including when and how fees are assessed. The eligibility of the pool/fund to invest in bond proceeds and special district funds, and a description of its practices.
(I) Diversification
Exhibit A
Packet Page. 497
The City shall diversify the investments within the portfolio to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over-investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions, or maturities. To promote diversification, unless a more restrictive limit applies, no more than 10% of the portfolio may be invested in the securities of any one issuer, regardless of security type; excluding U.S.
Treasuries, federal agencies, supranationals, medium-term notes, assetbacked/mortgage backed/CMO securities, and pooled investments such as LAIF, money market funds, or local government investment pools. (J) Maximum Maturities
For those investment types for which this Policy does not specify a maturity limit, no individual investment shall exceed a maturity of five years from the date of purchase unless the City Council has granted express authority to make that investment either specifically or as a part of an investment program approved by the City Council no less than three months prior to the investment. Both Agency and Non-Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities and Asset-Backed Securities may be measured by their Weighted-Average-Life when determining allowable maturity limits. The weighted average duration of the investment portfolio shall not exceed 3.0 years.
(K) Authorized Investments of the City
The following types of investments are authorized by this Policy
1. U.S. Treasury Instruments. United States Treasury notes, bonds, bills, or certificates of indebtedness, or those for which the faith and credit of the United States are pledged for the payment of principal and interest.

(L) Prohibited Investments
Furthermore, the City will not invest in inverse floaters, range notes, interestonly strips, or any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will 100% of market value for Certificate of Deposits and 102% for reverse purchase agreements or principal and accrued interest. Collateral will always be held by an independent third party with whom the entity has a current custodial relationship
(M) Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be managed with the objective of obtaining a market-average rate of return during budgetary and economic cycles, considering the City's investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.
Investment return is a consideration only after the core investment portfolio tenets of safety and liquidity have been met. The Director of Finance will adopt a benchmark which best approximates the composition and weighted average maturity of the City's portfolio. The City will monitor the City's portfolio yield against the US Treasury Constant Maturity and the performance yield presented by LAIF. However, the benchmark will be used only as a reference tool and does not infer that the portfolio will be managed in an attempt to attain or exceed the stated benchmark. Benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.
The selected performance benchmarks shall be representative of the City's overall investment objectives and liquidity requirements. (N) Investment Reporting
The Director of Finance shall submit to the City Council, on a monthly basis, a report summarizing the individual transactions executed within the month. The Director of Finance shall submit to the City Council on a quarterly basis a report summarizing the status of the current investment portfolio and the individual transactions executed over the last quarter. The report shall be prepared in a manner which shall allow the City Council to ascertain whether investment activities during the reporting period have conformed to the Investment Policy.
The report will include the following elements:
Type of investment
Institution/Issuer
Purchase Date
Date of maturity
Amount of deposit or cost of the investment
Exhibit A
Packet Page. 503
Face value of the investment
Current market value of securities and source of valuation Rate of interest

Statement on availability of funds to meet the next six months’ obligations Percentage of Portfolio by Investment Type
Days to Maturity for all Investments
Comparative report on Monthly Investment Balances & Interest Yields Monthly transactions
The Investment Advisor shall report to the City, on a monthly basis, the weightedaverage-life for each structured security to ensure compliance with the individual 5-year weighted-average-life limitation.
All data shall be maintained by the Investment Advisor for record-keeping purposes. If a structured security is reported to have a weighted-average-life greater than 5 years, it shall be flagged for immediate discussion with both the City and Investment Advisor to determine if the security shall be held or liquidated, depending on underlying risk and broader market conditions.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned process, any security with a weightedaverage-life greater than 4 years shall be monitored on a monthly basis to note any reporting trends.
(O) Portfolio Review
The Director of Finance shall continually monitor portfolio performance to ensure that the securities in the portfolio are in compliance with this Policy. The Director of Finance shall report any issues of material non-compliance in the next monthly Investment Report. Percentage holding limits and diversification requirements listed in this Policy apply at the time a security is purchased. If a percentage holding limit or diversification requirement is exceeded due to a subsequent change in the portfolio, it is not a compliance violation, but no additional securities may be purchased in that category or for that issuer until the holdings are back under the Policy limits. Credit ratings, where shown, specify the minimum credit rating category required at purchase. In the event a security held by the City is subject to a credit rating change that brings it below the minimum credit ratings specified in this Policy, the Director of Finance will notify the City Council of the change in the next monthly Investment Report. The course of action to be followed will then be decided on a case-by-case basis, considering such factors as the reason for the change, prognosis for recovery or further rating downgrades, and the market price of Exhibit A
Packet Page. 504
the security. If a security is determined to be out of compliance with this Policy due to a subsequent change in this Policy or the Government Code, it may be held to maturity unless there is a requirement that the security be sold. (P) Debt Proceeds
Debt proceeds and bond reserve funds are to be invested in accordance with their respective bond indenture. If the indenture is silent as to the permitted investments, the bond proceeds will be invested in the securities permitted by this Policy. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Policy, the percentage limitations listed elsewhere in this Policy do not apply to bond proceeds and bond proceeds may be invested beyond five years if the maturities of such investments do not exceed the expected use of the funds, the investments are deemed prudent in the opinion of the Director of Finance, and the investments are not prohibited by the applicable bond documents. Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes or other temporary financing proceeds shall not be invested for a term that exceeds the term of the debt.
(Q) Safe Keeping
To protect against potential losses by collapse of individual securities dealers, all deliverable securities owned by the City, including collateral on repurchase agreements, shall be held in safekeeping by a third party bank trust department acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and by the City. All deliverable securities will be received and delivered using standard delivery-versus-payment procedures.
(R) Qualified Financial Institutions and Broker/Dealers The Director of Finance shall maintain a list of approved financial institutions authorized to provide investment related services to the City. In addition, the City shall maintain a list of approved security broker/dealers selected by conducting a process of due diligence. These may include 'primary' dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 15C3- 1 (uniform net capital rule). A copy of this Investment Policy shall be sent annually to all firms with which the City executes investments.
Additionally, all financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified bidders of investment transactions must provide the Director of Finance with the following:
Audited Financial Statements
Proof of State Registration
Copy of most recently filed Financial Industry Regulated Authority Exhibit A
Packet Page. 505
(FINRA) documentation
Certification of having read the Investment Policy and depository contracts of the City of San Bernardino
The Director of Finance will review the existing list of either qualified broker/dealers or qualified bidders for investment transactions on an annual basis. At the discretion of the Director of Finance, and with the due diligence noted above, add or delete either broker/dealers or qualified bidders. (S) Continuing Education and Training
To ensure the highest level of professional standards for the execution of the investment program, investment staff responsible for the day-to-day management of the portfolio are encouraged to engage in continuing education in the areas of cash and investment management.

The revised Investment Policy shall be presented to the Finance Committee and the City Council for review and approval.
(A) Responsibilities
No person may engage in investment activities except as provided under the terms of this Policy and the procedures established by the Director of Finance.
1. Responsibilities of the City Council
The City Council shall annually consider and adopt a written Investment Policy. As provided in this Policy, the Council shall receive monthly Investment Reports.
2. Responsibilities of the Director of Finance
The Director of Finance is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the City Manager and is subject to his/her direction and supervision. The Director of Finance is charged with responsibility for the conduct of all Finance Department operations. The City Charter places the "City Exhibit A
Packet Page. 513
Treasurer" responsibilities amongst the duties of the Director of Finance.
That individual is charged with responsibility for carrying out all investment actions. He/she may delegate the day-to-day investment activities to their designee(s) but not the responsibility for the overall investment program. If authorized by the City Council, the Director of Finance may also utilize the services of an external investment advisor to assist with the investment program.
The Director of Finance, through supporting staff members, is responsible to manage all public funds and securities belonging to or under the control of the City and the Successor Agency, including the deposit and investment of those funds in accordance with principles of sound treasury management and applicable laws and ordinances.
Appropriate internal controls designed to ensure that assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse, including but not limited to separation of duties and multiple approvers for transactions, shall be maintained at all times in order to safeguard the City's assets.
3. Responsibilities of the City's Investment Advisor (if applicable) The City may engage in the services of outside professionals for evaluation and advice regarding the City's investment program. An authorized Investment Advisor may provide investment management services, which may also include facilitating trade executions under the direction of the Director of Finance or designee. Any Investment Advisor shall be registered by the Securities and Exchange Commission and licensed to do business in the State of California. An authorized Investment Advisor shall invest the City's funds in investments that are in compliance with this policy and provide accurate and timely reports of its investment activities to City staff.

4. Internal Controls
The Director of Finance is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, fraud or misuse.
The City's external independent auditing firm shall perform an annual analysis and review of internal controls, account activity and compliance with policies and procedures.
(B) Prudent Investor Rule
The standard of prudence to be used by the Director of Finance shall be the "prudent investor" standard. This shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio.
Exhibit A
Packet Page. 514
The "Prudent Investor Rule" provides, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53600.3, that investments shall be made with judgment and care-under circumstances then prevailing - which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived. The Director of Finance and any designee of the Director of Finance, as investment officers acting in accordance with written
procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for any individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
(C) Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
In addition to state and local statutes relating to conflicts of interest, all persons involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that conflicts with proper execution of the investment program or impairs their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officers are required to annually file applicable financial disclosures as required for “public officials who manage public investments” by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) and are subject to California law relative to conflicts of interest.
(D) Level of Investment
The City strives to maintain the level of investment of all investable cash as near to 100 percent as possible through current and projected cash flow management.
The Director of Finance shall maintain a system to monitor and forecast revenues and expenditures so that City funds can be invested to the fullest extent possible while providing sufficient liquidity to meet the City's reasonably anticipated cash flow requirements. Maturities of investments will be selected to provide necessary liquidity, manage interest rate risk, and optimize earnings. Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds. (E) Investment Objectives
The City seeks safety and liquidity in all of its investments followed by yield.
Safety, liquidity, and yield are defined as follows:
1. Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
2. Liquidity. The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature Exhibit A
Packet Page. 515
concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands.
3. Yield. The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above.
(F) Allowable Investments
The investments listed in this Policy are authorized investments pursuant to Sections 53601 and 53635 of the California Government Code and are authorized investments for the City subject, however, to the restrictions set forth in Section "K" of this Investment Policy. In the event that an apparent discrepancy is found between this Policy and the Government Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence.
(G) Collateralization
If collateral is required for a particular investment type, it will be provided in compliance with California Government Code requirements. (H) Investment Pools/Mutual Funds
Prior to investing in any pooled investment program (e.g., LAIF, money market funds), the Director of Finance will review the program's documentation (e.g., investment policy, policies for participation, fees) to determine the appropriateness of the pool for City funds. Whenever the City has funds invested in a pooled investment program, the Director of Finance should periodically review the pool's investment holdings. The review shall, at a minimum, obtain the following information:
A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.
A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.
A description of who may invest in the program, how often, and what size of deposits and withdrawals are allowed.
A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. A description of how the pool/fund utilizes reserves, retained earnings, etc.
A fee schedule, including when and how fees are assessed. The eligibility of the pool/fund to invest in bond proceeds and special district funds, and a description of its practices.
(I) Diversification
Exhibit A
Packet Page. 516
The City shall diversify the investments within the portfolio to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over-investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions, or maturities. To promote diversification, unless a more restrictive limit applies, no more than 5% 10% of the portfolio may be invested in the securities of any one issuer, regardless of security type; excluding U.S.
Treasuries, federal agencies, supranationals, medium-term notes, assetbacked/mortgage backed/CMO securities, and pooled investments such as LAIF, money market funds, or local government investment pools. (J) Maximum Maturities

(L) Prohibited Investments
Furthermore, the City will not invest in inverse floaters, range notes, interestonly strips, or any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will 100% of market value for Certificate of Deposits and 102% for reverse purchase agreements or principal and accrued interest. Collateral will always be held by an independent third party with whom the entity has a current custodial relationship
(M) Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be managed with the objective of obtaining a market-average rate of return during budgetary and economic cycles, considering the City's investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.
Investment return is a consideration only after the core investment portfolio tenets of safety and liquidity have been met. The Director of Finance will adopt a benchmark which best approximates the composition and weighted average maturity of the City's portfolio. The City will monitor the City's portfolio yield against the US Treasury Constant Maturity and the performance yield presented by LAIF. However, the benchmark will be used only as a reference tool and does not infer that the portfolio will be managed in an attempt to attain or exceed the stated benchmark. Benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.
The selected performance benchmarks shall be representative of the City's overall investment objectives and liquidity requirements. (N) Investment Reporting
The Director of Finance shall submit to the City Council, on a monthly basis, a report summarizing the individual transactions executed within the month. The Director of Finance shall submit to the City Council on a quarterly basis a report summarizing the status of the current investment portfolio and the individual transactions executed over the last quarter. The report shall be prepared in a manner which shall allow the City Council to ascertain whether investment activities during the reporting period have conformed to the Investment Policy.
The report will include the following elements:
Type of investment
Institution/Issuer
Purchase Date
Date of maturity

Statement on availability of funds to meet the next six months’ obligations Percentage of Portfolio by Investment Type
Days to Maturity for all Investments
Comparative report on Monthly Investment Balances & Interest Yields Monthly transactions
The Investment Advisor shall report to the City, on a monthly basis, the weightedaverage-life for each structured security to ensure compliance with the individual 5-year weighted-average-life limitation. Measures the average length of time for anticipated principal repayments to measure a bond's risk and liquidity. In order to calculate a bond's WAL, assumptions must be made regarding prepayment event probabilities, prepayment amounts, prepayment speed, underlying asset leverage, and other collateral features as well as macroeconomic drivers such as, but not limited to, interest rate expectations, home prices, and mortgage rates. Institutionally, proprietary models use these various assumed inputs to estimate the amount and timing of principal repayments in order to produce a WAL output that functions as a useful metric to understand interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and extension risk.
All data shall be maintained by the Investment Advisor for record-keeping purposes. If a structured security is reported to have a weighted-average-life greater than 5 years, it shall be flagged for immediate discussion with both the City and Investment Advisor to determine if the security shall be held or liquidated, depending on underlying risk and broader market conditions.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned process, any security with a weightedaverage-life greater than 4 years shall be monitored on a monthly basis to note any reporting trends.
(O) Portfolio Review
The Director of Finance shall continually monitor portfolio performance to ensure that the securities in the portfolio are in compliance with this Policy. The Director of Finance shall report any issues of material non-compliance in the next monthly Investment Report. Percentage holding limits and diversification requirements listed in this Policy apply at the time a security is purchased. If a percentage holding limit or diversification requirement is exceeded due to Exhibit A
Packet Page. 523
a subsequent change in the portfolio, it is not a compliance violation, but no additional securities may be purchased in that category or for that issuer until the holdings are back under the Policy limits. Credit ratings, where shown, specify the minimum credit rating category required at purchase. In the event a security held by the City is subject to a credit rating change that brings it below the minimum credit ratings specified in this Policy, the Director of Finance will notify the City Council of the change in the next monthly Investment Report. The course of action to be followed will then be decided on a case-by-case basis, considering such factors as the reason for the change, prognosis for recovery or further rating downgrades, and the market price of the security. If a security is determined to be out of compliance with this Policy due to a subsequent change in this Policy or the Government Code, it may be held to maturity unless there is a requirement that the security be sold. (P) Debt Proceeds
Debt proceeds and bond reserve funds are to be invested in accordance with their respective bond indenture. If the indenture is silent as to the permitted investments, the bond proceeds will be invested in the securities permitted by this Policy. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Policy, the percentage limitations listed elsewhere in this Policy do not apply to bond proceeds and bond proceeds may be invested beyond five years if the maturities of such investments do not exceed the expected use of the funds, the investments are deemed prudent in the opinion of the Director of Finance, and the investments are not prohibited by the applicable bond documents. Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes or other temporary financing proceeds shall not be invested for a term that exceeds the term of the debt.
(Q) Safe Keeping
To protect against potential losses by collapse of individual securities dealers, all deliverable securities owned by the City, including collateral on repurchase agreements, shall be held in safekeeping by a third party bank trust department acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and by the City. All deliverable securities will be received and delivered using standard delivery-versus-payment procedures.
(R) Qualified Financial Institutions and Broker/Dealers The Director of Finance shall maintain a list of approved financial institutions authorized to provide investment related services to the City. In addition, the City shall maintain a list of approved security broker/dealers selected by conducting a process of due diligence. These may include 'primary' dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 15C3- 1 (uniform net capital rule). A copy of this Investment Policy shall be sent Exhibit A
Packet Page. 524
annually to all firms with which the City executes investments.
Additionally, all financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified bidders of investment transactions must provide the Director of Finance with the following:
Audited Financial Statements
Proof of State Registration
Copy of most recently filed Financial Industry Regulated Authority (FINRA) documentation
Certification of having read the Investment Policy and depository contracts of the City of San Bernardino
The Director of Finance will review the existing list of either qualified broker/dealers or qualified bidders for investment transactions on an annual basis. At the discretion of the Director of Finance, and with the due diligence noted above, add or delete either broker/dealers or qualified bidders. (S) Continuing Education and Training
To ensure the highest level of professional standards for the execution of the investment program, investment staff responsible for the day-to-day management of the portfolio are encouraged to engage in continuing education in the areas of cash and investment management.

City of San Bernardino
General Fund Reserve Policy
Adopted November 21, 2018
I. PURPOSE
To 1) provide a framework for the allocation of available General Fund resources to various categories of budget reserves and 2) provide guidelines under which these reserves may be utilized for operating or capital purposes with approval by the Mayor and City Council.
II. BACKGROUND
Maintenance of sufficient budget reserves is a central component of sound financial management practices. Reserves are designed to set aside funding today for future liabilities, capital projects and capital purchases; assist in maintaining stable service levels in times of declining revenues and/or unanticipated operating expenditures; and facilitate the continuation of services in the event of natural disasters or fiscal emergencies.
The City of San Bernardino annually adopts an operating budget that allocates resources to City departments for the provision of services to the public. To determine the amount of funds available for appropriation, City management develops a revenue projection and notes the available reserve balance from the prior fiscal year. Proposed expenditures are then matched against these available resources. If proposed expenditures exceed projected revenue, utilization of available reserves may be used to meet the proposed level of spending thus decreasing the available reserve. When projected revenue exceeds proposed expenditures, the surplus increases the opening balance of available reserves if the budget is not amended to use these surplus funds. The City also has known capital needs that include facilities, equipment, vehicle, and infrastructure replacement. This policy’s goal is to ensure that sufficient resources exist to address these anticipated needs, as well as unanticipated needs that may arise on an infrequent basis.
Packet Page. 531
III. POLICY
1. General Fund Operating Reserve: It shall be the policy of the City of San Bernardino to maintain a General Fund operating reserve equal to 25% of General Fund budget appropriations. This reserve is to be further broken down as follows:
A. An Emergency Reserve of 15% - This reserve account is established for the purpose of addressing any extremely unusual and infrequent occurrences, such as a major natural disaster or a major unforeseen legal settlement or judgment. Utilization of the Emergency Reserve may only occur after the declaration of an emergency by a majority of the City Council. Following the resolution of the emergency, staff must present a plan to the Mayor and City Council to return the Emergency Reserve to the 15% minimum level as quickly as is practicable given the unique circumstances and requirements of each emergency.
B. An Economic Contingency Reserve of 10% - This reserve account is established for the purpose of providing a mechanism to allow for a measured and thoughtful reduction in expenditures during times of economic downturn. Utilization of the Economic Contingency Reserve requires approval by a majority of the City Council. When it is determined that the economic downturn has ended and the City’s financial condition is improving, staff is required to present a plan to the Mayor and City Council to return the economic contingency reserve to the 10% minimum level over a period of no more than five years.
If the General Fund operating reserve exceeds 30% of General Fund budget appropriations, staff is required to present a plan to the Mayor and City Council to utilize excess funds consistent with its adopted Goals and Objectives to a point that the balance is again consistent with the policy.
Uses could include accelerating funding into the special reserves noted below in this policy; capital projects, vehicle, or equipment purchases not originally planned for the current fiscal year; early repayment of outstanding debt obligations; or other expenditures of a one-time nature.
If an action of the City Council for a reason other than those described above reduces the General Fund operating reserve balance below the 25% level required by this policy, staff must include an allocation to reserves in the Packet Page. 532
following budget cycle sufficient to restore the reserve balance to the 25% minimum balance required by this policy.
2. General Fund Special Reserves: It shall be the policy of the City of San Bernardino to establish General Fund special reserves to provide funding for future anticipated liabilities and capital needs. These reserves shall be segregated into the following four accounts:
A. Risk Management Reserve – This reserve account is established to fund anticipated liabilities associated with general liability and workers’ compensation claims against the City. Its balance will be initially determined, and thereafter adjusted, based on the balance of available reserve funds after meeting the General Fund Operating Reserve requirement and then giving consideration to both the outstanding balance of claims as well as to the anticipated timing of claim payments.
B. City Facilities Reserve – This reserve account is established to fund the cost of replacing city buildings and park facilities. Its balance will be initially determined, and thereafter adjusted, based on the balance of available reserve funds after meeting the General Fund Operating Reserve requirement and then giving consideration to the facilities needs analysis maintained by the Public Works department.
C. Vehicles and Equipment Reserve – This reserve account is established to fund the cost of replacing General Fund-funded city vehicles and major equipment (including technology equipment). Its balance will be initially determined, and thereafter adjusted, based on the balance of available reserve funds after meeting the General Fund Operating Reserve requirement and then giving consideration to the vehicle and equipment assessment needs analyses maintained by the Fleet division and the Information Technology department.
D. Infrastructure Reserve – This reserve account is established to provide additional funding for the cost of replacing city infrastructure such as roads, sidewalks, and storm drains. These funds are to supplement dedicated non-General Fund revenue streams and competitive grants that also fund these types of projects. These funds may also provide for the match requirement on a grant when other resources are not available. No specific balance target is spelled out by this policy, but the reserve is Packet Page. 533
established for the receipt of funds for this purposes when directed by the Mayor and City Council.
The goal for General Fund special reserves is to fund at a level sufficient to address anticipated requirements over a projected period of 30 years, subject to availability of funds and prioritization of funding between the four categories of special reserves by the Mayor and City Council. As a part of each annual budget presented to the Mayor and City Council, staff will update the balances for the four categories of special reserves and any anticipated utilization or additions to the General Fund special reserves.
IV. PROCEDURES
At the conclusion of each fiscal year and at each fiscal year’s mid-year budget update, the General Fund reserve levels shall be reviewed by staff and detailed to the Mayor and City Council. The City Manager shall make recommendations for additions to or disbursements from the reserve funds consistent with this policy.

Request for Council Action
Date: June 17, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Gabriel Elliott, Director of Community Development & Housing Department: Community Development & Housing
Subject: Adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1661 Banning Short-Term Rentals (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Ordinance No. MC-1661 amending Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code banning short-term and vacation rentals in the City of San Bernardino.
City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends approval of the adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1661 consistent with City Council action.
Executive Summary
At the April 15 City Council meeting, the City Council introduced and read by title only and waived further reading of Ordinance No. MC-1661 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, amending Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) banning short term and vacation rentals in the City of San Bernardino.
Background
The consideration of a Short-Term Rental program was continued from the City Council meeting of March 18, 2026, to allow staff to present a Regulatory Program to initiate a 2-Year Pilot Program at the direction of the City Council. At the City Council meeting of April 15, 2026, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. MC-1661 banning ShortTerm Rentals in the City of San Bernardino.
Discussion
Packet Page. 568
The City’s Municipal Code (SBMC) does not specifically address short-term rentals.
However, a commercial use is generally prohibited in residential zones, unless specifically permitted. Because the SBMC does not expressly prohibit or allow shortterm rentals, the issue of the SBMC’s intent is disputed by residential property owners who wish to lease to tourists and/or retreatants for short stays. The City of San Bernardino does not currently have an ordinance that expressly regulates STRs and has experienced the negative effects of excessive noise, parking problems and discarded trash on surrounding properties, resulting in numerous complaints, creating a threat to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the community. The convenience and marketability of online Short-Term Rental websites such as Airbnb.com, Homeaway.com, and VRBO.com have encouraged City property owners (and leaseholders) to rent residential properties to tourists and other visitors on a short-term basis.
To manage the ban on short-term rentals, the City has engaged the services of Deckard Technologies, a company that utilizes data science expertise to assist local governments with managing compliance activity and enforcement, such as short-term rentals properties. The latest proposal from Deckard Technologies is attached (Attachment 2).
Deckard Technologies will utilize Rentalscape, a platform that accurately tracks activity within the City of San Bernardino to identify the exact addresses of the STR listings within the City limits. This enables accurate display of STR activity within the City and its community districts. With the ban in place, Deckard Technologies will collect the following information regarding active STRs in the City of San Bernardino:
1. Information on STRs currently active in the City of San Bernardino;
2. The aggregate revenue from actively listed bookings;
3. The average number of nights booked per reservation;
4. The major platforms used by STR hosts;
5. Average daily rates;
6. Booking trends during the Reporting Period;
7. Identify, by address, the violations of STR ordinances within the City;
8. Identify the actively listed STRs by month and address;
9. The total number of properties actively listed in the City of San Bernardino during the Reporting Period;
10.List the property owners; and
11.List the permit history of each property offering STRs in the San Bernardino.
Service Cost include the following:
1. Annual Software Subscription: $8,500 (Identification, Compliance Monitoring and Rental Activity based on properties that are listed in Rentalscape as identified STRs).
2. Outreach Campaign: Included to drive compliance. Three letter campaign to inform and encourage property owners to become compliant with the Packet Page. 569
Registration Process.
3. 24/7 Live Hotline & Online Form. $5,000 annually. Classic Level Live Answered Hotline and Online Form that can dispatch to responsible parties depending on identified call and form flow.
4. Maximum Price: In no event will the total subscription fees in the first year exceed $13,500. Future years’ renewals will be subject to an annual increase.
Strategic Targets and Goals
A Development Code Amendment banning Short Term or vacation rentals is consistent with the City’s General Plan and aligns with Key Target Goal No. 3:
Improved Quality of Life and, more specifically, 3a: Improve the City’s appearance, cleanliness, and attractiveness. Specifically, a ban will update the Development Code to prohibit short term and vacation rentals in all residential zones, while regulating the land use will provide the City with the tools that will ensure consistency with the City’s land use designations as required by the City’s General Plan.
Fiscal Impact
Aside from the $13,500 annual subscription fee for Deckard Technologies’ services, there may be other costs associated with city staff time following through with the information provided by Deckard Technologies.
There is a potential for the City to collect a fine of $1,000 per day from property owners who continue to run STRs in violation of the ban.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Ordinance No. MC-1661 amending Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code banning short-term and vacation rentals in the City of San Bernardino.

Synopsis of Previous Council Actions:
On December 12, 2023, the Planning Commission, by a unanimous vote, adopted Resolution No. 2023-043PC forwarding a recommendation that the Mayor and City Council approve Development Code Amendment 23-01, amending Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of Packet Page. 570
San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) in order to establish a Short-Term Rental Program in the City of San Bernardino. The Planning Commission also found that Development Code Amendment 23-01 was exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
On February 21, 2024, staff had presented Development Code Amendment 23-01 (Short-Term Rental Program) to the Mayor and City Council, with a recommendation to adopt a Short-Term rental program and approve Development Code Amendment 23-01 amending Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) in order to establish a Short-Term Rental Program in the City of San Bernardino. Staff was directed to bring back further analysis on short-term rentals and program enforcement.
On June 5, 2024, when the item was brought back to the City Council as directed, the Council, by a narrow majority, voted to ban short-term rentals in the city and requested that staff bring back an enforcement plan.
On December 9, 2025, staff presented a Resolution to the Planning Commission banning short-term rentals and Development Code Amendment 25-09 providing the mechanism to adopt the ban. However, the Planning Commission rejected the ban and instead re-forwarded Planning Commission Resolution 2023-043 (Attachment 3) memorializing their decision to push forward a recommendation to approve a regulatory program.
On February 18, 2026, staff presented two Ordinances for consideration, Ord. MC1660 adopting a regulatory program, and Ord. MC-1661 banning short-term rentals, along with Development Code amendment 23-01 (Short-Term Rental Program) to the Mayor and City Council, with a recommendation to adopt a Short-Term Rental program and approve Development Code Amendment 23-01 amending Section 19.02.050 (Basic Provisions – Definitions) and Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code (SBMC Title 19) in order to establish a Short-Term Rental Program in the City of San Bernardino. Staff was directed to bring back a revised regulatory program that would serve as a 2-year pilot program for short-term rentals.
On March 18, 2026, the item was continued to allow staff to provide additional information regarding regulating or prohibiting STRs in the city residential districts.
On April 15, 2026, Ordinance No. MC-1661 was adopted banning short-term rentals in the City of San Bernardino.

THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. Finding of Facts
Finding No. 1: The proposed ban on Short Term and vacation rentals is consistent with the General Plan.
Finding of Fact: The proposed Ordinance banning Short Term and vacation rentals in the city is consistent with the General Plan, as follows:
Land Use Goal 2.1: Preserve and enhance San Bernardino’s unique Neighborhoods.
Land Use Goal 2.2: Promote development that integrates with and minimizes impacts on surrounding land uses.
San Bernardino contains a wide range of neighborhoods accommodating an assortment of lifestyles. Each neighborhood has, or can have, its own unique character that is a source of pride for the residents. Neighborhood characteristics are defined by many factors: what the neighborhood looks like, what it feels like, and how well it is maintained. But more importantly, it is an image in the minds of those who live and work there and in the perceptions of those who visit the neighborhoods.
The rise of short-term rentals within the City has generated discussions as to their impact on the general character of neighborhoods in which they may be located and the cost of city services to monitor them.
Packet Page. 573
Ordinance No. MC-1661
3 The adoption of an Ordinance banning Short Term and vacation Rentals preserves the integrity and character of the residential neighborhoods in which they are located, and prevents negative impacts such as excessive noise, littering, loitering on the residential neighborhoods and the community at large.
Finding No. 2: The proposed Ordinance banning Short Term and vacation rentals would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
Finding of Fact: An Ordinance banning Short Term and vacation rentals is in the interest or furtherance of the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare in that it preserves the residential characteristics of residential zoning districts while mitigating the harm to the residential zoning districts that result from the negative impacts of the use.
SECTION 3. Amendment. Section 19.02.050 of the San Bernardino Development Code and Chapter 19.04 of the San Bernardino Development Code are hereby revised as set forth in Exhibits A, B, and C, all attached hereto and incorporated herein by these references.
SECTION 4. Certification. The City Clerk of the City of San Bernardino shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause publication to occur in a newspaper of general circulation and published and circulated in the City in a manner permitted under Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California.
SECTION 5. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The Mayor and City Council, having independently reviewed and analyzed the record before it, including written and oral testimony, and having exercised their independent judgment, finds that there is no substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that approval of the ban on Short Tern and vacation rentals will result in a significant effect on the environment, and thus the project is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines due to the fact that the activity does not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment.
SECTION 6. Notice of Exemption: The Planning Division of the Community Development and Housing Department is hereby directed to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk of the County of San Bernardino within five (5) working days of final approval certifying the City’s compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act in approving Ordinance MC-1661.

4 unconstitutional. If for any reason any portion of this Ordinance is found to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the balance of this Ordinance shall not be affected.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: June 17, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Gabriel Elliott, Director of Community Development & Housing Department: Community Development & Housing
Subject: Contract Amendment and Project Status Update for the Accela Land Management Services Project in the Amount
of $338,333.33 (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California,
1. Approve the following services for the Land Management Project:
a) A Managed Services agreement for Tier 2/3 Accela support for a period of 18 months in an amount not to exceed $180,000; and
b) An Accela OpenCounter subscription for a period of 18 months in an amount not to exceed $158,333.33; for a combined not-to-exceed amount of $338,333.33 Approval is subject to confirmation of the correct contracting party for Managed Services, since the attached scope references TruePoint Managed Services and not simply an amendment to the original Gray Quarter implementation agreement; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to sign the agreements, make ministerial revisions and any subsequent amendments to the scope of work without increasing the contract award amount, subject to the review and approval by the City Attorney as to form.
City Manager's Comments
The City Manager requests City Council authorization.
Executive Summary
The City previously approved an integrated Accela Land Management System project intended to modernize permitting, planning, building and safety, public works, inspections, business registration, and related land management functions.
Packet Page. 591
The Business Registration portion of the system went live in 2025. Other LMS functions remain in implementation and require a current status update before additional services are approved.
Staff is requesting approval of two additional services: Managed Services support in an amount not to exceed $180,000 and an Accela OpenCounter subscription in an amount not to exceed $158,333.33, for a combined total of $338,333.33.
Because the original LMS project involved significant ARPA and IT budget funding, this report provides a reconciliation of the original Council approval, contract amounts, expenditures to date, remaining balances, current module status, and the reason the additional services are being requested.
On November 20, 2024, Mayor and City Council approved the implementation of an integrated Land Management System (LMS) in a not-to-exceed amount of $3,200,000, for the term beginning January 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2027. Council also authorized the City Manager, or designee, to sign the agreements, make ministerial revisions and any subsequent amendments to the scope of work without increasing the contract award amount, subject to the review and approval by the City Attorney as to form.
Additionally, council authorized the City Manager, or designee, to execute seven (7) optional one-year amendments at approximately $500,000 annually for FYs 2026-27 through 2032-33, and to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Onsite Computing for data conversion services for an amount not to exceed $520,000 (includes a 10% contingency) and execute all documents to effectuate the Agreement for the term beginning January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2026.
Finally council authorized the City Manager, or designee, to execute Professional Services Agreements with Willdan, CSG Consultants, and Rick Engineering each for an amount not to exceed $448,800 respectively (includes a 10% contingency), for supplemental staffing and execute all documents to effectuate the Agreement for the term beginning January 1, 2025, and ending December 31, 2026.
Not included in the original contract are two crucial services provided Grey Quarter and Accela – a Managed Services Agreement to provide SLA-based support to the Business Registration and other city departments, including Public Works, Building & Safety, and Planning once the software testing period is over and the software goes “live”, to provide on-the-minute technical support during the “live” processing of the software; and an Open Counter Subscription Agreement with Accela which will replace the G-Wiz subscription that was part of the original contract.
What is under consideration are an 18-month agreement for the Managed Services to provide technical support and the Open Counter Subscription. For the Managed Services Agreement, the amount proposed for the 18-month subscription is $180,000, which breaks down to $120,000 annually plus six months. For the Open Counter Packet Page. 592
Subscription, the amount proposed is $158.000, consisting of $58,000 for the remainder of the 2026 year, and $100,000 for the year 2027.
Background
The City of San Bernardino was awarded $77,656,407 under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The City received half of the funds in May 2021, and the remainder of the funds in May of 2022.
On July 19, 2023 staff presented an ARPA Update to the Mayor and City Council. At that time, $10,000,000 in ARPA funds was allocated to fund the City’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems for financial, budgeting, human capital management and the Land Management system (LMS) to improve citywide operations, streamline processes related to permitting, building safety, and other land management functions.
The LMS will replace outdated systems like PermitsPlus, which has been in place for more than 20 years and lacks the flexibility and automation necessary for modern city planning. These improvements aim to enhance efficiency, transparency, and service delivery for managing land-related activities in the City, making it easier for officials and the public to access and track relevant information. Staff’s estimate that a system able to serve all of the permitting, building and safety, and other land management functions will cost approximately $5,000,000, of which $3,200,000 will be ARPA funded.
Discussion
In 2025, when the Accela Land Management system went “live” with the Business Registration Division, it became apparent that there is a need for support services to help resolve technical glitches and other anomalies typical with updating from an old Land Management System to a new one.

A land management system helps municipalities organize and manage land use, development, and property information and handles important tasks like zoning, issuing building permits, keeping property records, and planning infrastructure like roads and utilities. The system ensures that land is used in a way that supports the community's goals, protects the environment, and provides necessary public services.
It also makes it easier to involve the public in land-related decisions, helping the municipality grow in a balanced and efficient way.
The Managed Services Agreement will allow the city to have on-the-spot support services for any interruptions or problems emanating from the software update to Accela. Grey Quarter, which is the implementation consulting firm for the Accela Software project, will provide the Manages Services support. The cost for an 18-month subscription, which will cover the go “live” implementation for all city department (Public Works, Building & Safety, Planning, and Business Registration through December 2027, is $180,000.
The Open Counter Subscription, offered by Accela, is a new web-based interactive program that streamlines the user experience of obtaining city permits and/or applying for discretionary approvals, and considered an improvement to the G-WIZ subscription which was part of the 2024 contract. An 18-month subscription for this servide is $158,000, consisting of $58,000 for the remainder of 2026 and $100,000 for 2027.
The City of San Bernardino currently operates with PermitsPlus for land management.
This system is outdated and limits the City’s ability to provide efficient and streamlined services to citizens and businesses. PermitsPlus is a legacy system that has served its purpose but is no longer viable due to its outdated infrastructure.
Current technological advancements have outpaced its capabilities, and the system is no longer being developed or supported by Accela, the product manufacturer. This leaves the City with outdated tools, limited functionality, and growing operational risks.
Transitioning to a modernized LMS will address key challenges such as outdated technology, fragmented processes, and difficulty in accessing real-time data. This initiative is part of the broader effort to modernize City operations and ensure long-term sustainability in land management activities.

Background
The City of San Bernardino was awarded $77,656,407 under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The City received half of the funds in May 2021, and the remainder of the funds in May of 2022. On July 19, 2023 staff presented an ARPA Update to the Mayor and City Council. At that time, $10,000,000 in ARPA funds was allocated to fund the City’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems for financial, budgeting, human capital management and the Land Management system (LMS) to improve citywide operations, streamline processes related to permitting, building safety, and other land management functions. The LMS will replace outdated systems like PermitsPlus, which has been in place for years but lacks the flexibility and automation necessary for modern city planning. These improvements aim to enhance efficiency, transparency, and service delivery for managing land-related activities in the City, making it easier for officials and the public to access and track relevant information. Staff’s estimate that a system able to serve all of the permitting, building and safety, and other land management functions will cost approximately $5,000,000, of which $3,200,000 will be ARPA funded.
Discussion
Packet Page. 598
A land management system helps municipalities organize and manage land use, development, and property information. It handles important tasks like zoning, issuing building permits, keeping property records, and planning infrastructure like roads and utilities. The system ensures that land is used in a way that supports the community's goals, protects the environment, and provides necessary public services. It also makes it easier to involve the public in land-related decisions, helping the municipality grow in a balanced and efficient way.
The City of San Bernardino currently operates with PermitsPlus for land management.
This system is outdated and limits the City’s ability to provide efficient and streamlined services to citizens and businesses. PermitsPlus is a legacy system that has served its purpose but is no longer viable due to its outdated infrastructure. Current technological advancements have outpaced its capabilities, and the system is no longer being developed or supported by Accela, the product manufacturer. This leaves the City with outdated tools, limited functionality, and growing operational risks.
Transitioning to a modernized LMS will address key challenges such as outdated technology, fragmented processes, and difficulty in accessing real-time data. This initiative is part of the broader effort to modernize City operations and ensure long-term sustainability in land management activities.
SOFTWARE
RFP #F-23-78 was posted on October 16, 2023. At the time of the close of the RFP on November 30, 2023, proposals were received from 10 vendors:
• Accela
• Applications Software Technology, LLC
• CentralSquare Technologies, LLC
• Infor US, LLC
• MainStar
• Online Solutions, LLC
• The Davenport Group USA, LTD
• TruePoint Solutions
• Tyler Technologies
• Visionary Integration Professionals
The 10 proposals were evaluated by the LMS Project Management Firm, ClientFirst Technology Consulting, based on non-price factors such as alignment with the project scope, implementation approach, business process expertise, past experience, project management capabilities, consultant skills and experience, ability to meet functional requirements, and compliance with the City’s contract terms. The final decision was primarily based on how well each proposed solution met the City's overall functional requirements, as outlined in the RFP.
Accela's land management system is a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that helps government agencies and planning departments manage land use and planning processes such as Civic Application for Planning; this will automate and Packet Page. 599
streamline planning applications, zoning regulations, development projects, public engagement, plans review, and permit applications.
Accela has been selected to modernize the City’s land management and permitting systems, based on its strong reputation and extensive experience in government technology. With over 20 years of service and a client base of more than 600 government agencies globally, Accela is recognized for providing reliable, scalable solutions that improve operational efficiency and public service delivery. Accela’s proven track record in successfully transitioning municipalities from legacy systems to modern, integrated platforms was a key factor in its selection. The company's history and deep understanding of government processes ensure that the City will benefit from a trusted partner capable of supporting its long-term goals and evolving needs.
Accela Automation offers modern features that PermitsPlus lacks, such as integration with geographic information systems (GIS), mobile inspections, enhanced crossdepartmental workflows, and real-time updates for public and internal users. Field workers can perform inspections or updates even in areas without network access, which was previously impossible with PermitsPlus. This offline functionality will allow for work in remote areas and ensure faster project completion. The transition to Accela enables streamlined workflows, automated permit tracking, and reporting. For example, instead of manually managing tasks across multiple departments, Accela automates these functions, reducing errors and duplication of efforts.
Approval is requested to contract with Accela based upon RFP #F-23-78 issued by the City of San Bernardino on October 16, 2023. The effective date of the contract is January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026 and has ten (10) optional one-year amendments.
DATA CONVERSION
Onsite Computing Inc. (OSCI) will assist the City of San Bernardino with its transition to the new Land Management System (LMS) within Accela. With over 20 years of experience serving businesses, non-profits, and government organizations in Southern California, OSCI offers expertise in areas such as cybersecurity, compliance, and data migration.
OSCI's proposal focuses on data extraction and conversion, supporting the transition of various records from existing systems like ESRI ArcGIS, PermitsPlus, Go Enforce, Go Gov, and Progressive Solutions into the new Accela LMS. The project involves migrating significant volumes of records, including building permits, inspections, planning projects, and business licenses, with a retention period of five years for each.
The proposed project cost is $520,000 (includes a 10% contingency), spanning two years, with a planned kick-off in January 2025 and completion by January 2027. This includes the establishment of secure cloud resources within AWS Gov-Cloud for data extraction and staging, ensuring a secure and compliant environment throughout the process. OSCI will also provide technical support and training for City staff to ensure a seamless transition.
