Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
It is my pleasure to present the City of San Marcos Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2026–27. This budget reflects the City Council’s commitment to fiscal responsibility while prioritizing the fundamentals that matter most to our community: public safety, infrastructure, neighborhood quality and responsive city services.
This budget also reflects the hard work of city staff and valuable input provided by the Budget Review Committee and Measure Q Oversight Committee throughout the budget development process. In all, the city held seven public meetings during this year’s budget process.
A balanced budget with healthy reserves
The budget totals $195.3M for all funds, including $103.9M in General Fund operations and $21.6M in capital improvement investments. The budget also maintains compliance with the City Council’s reserve policy. Maintaining healthy reserves is a significant investment and an important indicator of our overall financial health.
Building to last
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget positions the city for long-term fiscal health in an increasingly challenging environment for local governments throughout California. Labor costs, pension obligations, insurance, utilities and day-to-day operational expenses continue to rise at a faster rate than many traditional local government revenue sources.
For that reason, the Fiscal Year 2026–27 budget not only presents a balanced financial plan for the fiscal year, but continues the city’s broader focus on long-term fiscal health and responsible stewardship of city resources.
New revenue from Measure Q has provided critical stability, and we’re using that opportunity strategically to strengthen the city’s foundation for the future. These efforts include a continued focus on efficiency, accountability and performance; protecting our investments in infrastructure and other city assets; and investments in the backbone of our technology systems.
Supporting healthy revenues is another key component of long-term fiscal health. A new Economic Development Strategic Plan is on track to be completed in Fiscal Year 2026-27. This data-driven effort will include strategies to enhance prosperity in San Marcos while generating revenue needed to support city services and infrastructure. Strategic investments in the city’s real estate portfolio have increased the marketability of leased spaces, resulting in record occupancy over the past 12 months. Additional property improvements in Fiscal Year 2026-27 will help ensure these important assets are well positioned to generate revenue long into the future.
Based on City Council’s direction to enhance efforts to secure grants and other outside funding, I am proud to report the city secured more than $9.6 million in new grant funding in Fiscal Year 2026. These efforts continue into the new fiscal year, advancing community priorities while reducing pressure on local funding sources. 12 Introductory Section City of San Marcos
Key investments
Measure Q funding continues to support investments in voter priorities: public safety and emergency response, roads and infrastructure maintenance, and parks and community spaces. In Fiscal Year 2026-27, the largest Measure Q expenditures are for public safety, including the new Fire Station 5 and the cost to ensure constant staffing for our fire and emergency medical services. Measure Q funds are also being used to purchase new self-contained breathing apparatus, critical equipment to protect the health of our firefighters.
Prolonging the life of city infrastructure and keeping is well maintained are also top priorities. Measure Q will fund a new HVAC system at Corky Smith gym as well as plumbing, electrical and other deferred maintenance at city facilities. Other investments include sidewalk repairs and ongoing inspection and repair of our citywide drainage infrastructure to prevent flooding.
Measure Q will fund projects to improve the city’s Community Center, Woodland Park Pool and Williams Barn, as well as ongoing sports field maintenance, custodial and janitorial services, and landscape maintenance.
Aside from Measure Q-funded work, the Fiscal Year 2026–27 budget also advances several major long-term initiatives, including the launch of the city’s General Plan Update, enhanced neighborhood services, specialized law enforcement services and strategic investments to modernize city operations.
Business mindset, public service mission
A key theme of this year’s budget is making thoughtful investments that improve efficiency, strengthen service delivery and reduce long-term costs. Across departments, staff continue to identify opportunities to extend the life of city assets, optimize workflows and improve operational effectiveness.
Examples include energy-efficient lighting upgrades in parks that are projected to save approximately $150,000 annually in energy costs. Staff-initiated operational changes will reduce water consumption and utility costs associated with street sweeping, and creative in-house maintenance solutions helped the city extend the life of our paint striper by an estimated 10 years, thus avoiding more than $650,000 in replacement costs in next year’s budget.
Staff also once again took a zero-based approach this year to ensure resources remain aligned with the community’s most important needs and priorities. Additional investments in technology, digital services and records modernization will also help improve customer service and operational efficiency.
Workforce development and engagement
As with any service organization, personnel costs represent the largest component of the City of San Marcos budget. We remain mindful of the long-term impact of negotiated compensation increases, pension obligations and increasing health care costs, which is why continuing to manage all city costs responsibly remains so important.
The city also recognizes that delivering high-quality public services depends on attracting, supporting and retaining a strong workforce. That is why the city is investing in employee engagement, training and organizational effectiveness initiatives that help staff work more efficiently, collaborate more effectively and continue delivering a high level of service to the community.
The city is also continuing to strengthen how departments measure results, align resources and track progress toward organizational priorities. Last year, the executive team introduced Objectives and Key Results to better align departmental work with citywide goals. That effort is now expanding across the organization as departments develop new performance indicators to support accountability, continuous improvement and data-driven decision-making.
City of San Marcos Introductory Section 13
Building on the San Marcos Way
San Marcos continues to maintain a strong financial foundation because of years of responsible planning, disciplined decision- making and a willingness to adapt to changing conditions. While economic uncertainty and long-term cost pressures remain, this budget reflects confidence in the city’s direction and a continued commitment to thoughtful stewardship of public resources.
The “San Marcos Way” has long been shorthand to define our commitment to efficiency, cutting red tape and bringing an entrepreneurial spirit to local government. These values remain part of our DNA. As San Marcos continues to grow and evolve, the organization is evolving as well — becoming more strategic, more data-driven and more focused on measurable results while continuing to build on the strengths that have long defined San Marcos.
In all, these efforts ultimately support what residents expect from their local government: safe neighborhoods, reliable infrastructure, and responsive public services delivered efficiently and responsibly.
Sincerely,
Michelle Bender
City Manager

Capital Improvement
Projects Program
INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW:
The FY 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Program is a five-year appropriation plan that provides the City with a financial strategy for infrastructure improvements. Major capital improvements can require multiple years to strategically plan, design, fund, and eventually construct or execute. The CIP is updated annually to add new appropriations and/or projects, while evaluating priorities, new requirements and new sources of funding. The program as a whole coordinates the identification of dependable funding sources with the implementation of projects for currently evaluated needs and priorities.
PROCESS:
The CIP process is a cooperative effort involving several departments within the City. The budget staff begins the process annually in December. A form is completed for projects and includes a project description, schedule, and requested funding. Projects are then grouped into seven major categories including Creek District, Facilities, Parks, Planning, Storm Drain, Streets and Traffic.
Concurrently, staff works to estimate the revenues for each funding source over the five-year span of the program. Based on available funding by category, and priority ranking, projects are then programmed as funding allows. Final adoption of the CIP occurs during a public meeting in June. All changes made during the public process are incorporated into the adopted budget document which is published on the City website and distributed to City Staff.
FUNDING SOURCES:
Funding for the CIP comes from a variety of funding sources including Federal, State, developer and local funding. Most of these funds are earmarked for a specific purpose and cannot be used to offset operating costs.
PROPOSED BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS:
The proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 CIP appropriations are approximately $21.7 million. The forecasted future year appropriations are $61.7 million.
The FY 2027-2031 CIP program reflects the actions taken by Council and developed in accordance with Council adopted policies and guiding documents (such as, but not limited to the City’s General Plan, Master Plans, Specific Plans, Regional Transportation Plan) as well as generally accepted accounting principles.
The CIP includes funding for projects and programs in various geographic areas of the City.
