CITY OF SAN RAMON
LANDSCAPING & LIGHTING DISTRICT GUIDELINES
TRANSFER OF LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES FROM PRIVATE
PROPERTY OWNER(S)/DEVELOPERS TO THE CITY OF SAN RAMON FOR AREAS
ADJACENT TO THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
From time to time private property owner(s), Homeowners' Associations, or developers request that the City assume maintenance of existing private property, it is important to establish procedural guidelines for the assumption of such responsibilities. These guidelines are:
New Development
1. If the owner(s)/developer of a new development wishes to have an area maintained by the City, discussions will be initiated with the City during the planning review process.
2. The owner(s)/developer shall provide area and landscaping information to the City so that the City can develop maintenance cost estimates and the corresponding assessment amount.
3. After the City determines the assessment amount, including an assessment range or inflation factor, the owner(s)/developer shall petition the City in writing to request formation of a Special Landscaping & Lighting District or Special Zone within the existing Landscaping & Lighting District. This petition shall be in conformance with the Right to Vote on Taxes Act (Proposition 218).
4. Following review and confirmation of the petition, the City shall conduct a public hearing and an election of the owner(s) in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act and the Right to Vote on Taxes Act. The Public Hearing and election shall occur prior to the approval (vesting) of the development with Conditions of Approval. The assessment may only be levied if there is not a majority protest and a majority of the ballots weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property, are in favor of the proposal.
5. The owner(s)/developer can proceed to obtain City development approval designating the area(s) to be conveyed to and maintained by the City on appropriate development maps and plans.
6. Properties will be assessed upon Final Map approval by the City, recordation by the County Recorder's Office, and inclusion of the parcels on the Assessment Roll by the County Assessor's Office. It shall be the responsibility of the current property owner of each parcel to pay the assessment.
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 138 Attachment: B: Revised 1984-1 Engineers Report (2025-050 : L&L 1984 Approve & Set Public Hearing) D-2
7. The owner(s)/developer shall be responsible to disclose the assessment on properties that are sold. If a Homeowners' Association is created within the development, the assessment shall be explained in the CC&Rs.
8. The owner(s)/developer shall install irrigation and landscaping in conformance with the approved landscaping plans. The approved plans shall be in accordance with information provided during the development review process and the City of San Ramon's Beautification Guidelines.
9. Following the completion of a minimum one-year warranty maintenance period, the City shall accept maintenance of the area.
Existing Developments
1. Discussions with the City for the transfer of maintenance shall be initiated by the property owner(s) or Homeowners' Association. The owner(s) shall provide available area and landscaping information to the City so that the City can develop any capital and/or maintenance costs and the corresponding assessment amount.
2. Based upon these discussions, the City shall determine an assessment amount, which will include an assessment range or inflation factor. The assessment amount shall include the capital costs required to bring the property up to City Beautification Standards, as well as the ongoing maintenance costs. The City may assist in financing these capital improvements through annual installment assessments consistent with the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act.
3. After the City determines the assessment amount, the owner(s) shall petition the City in writing to request formation of a Special Landscaping & Lighting District or Special Zone within the existing Landscaping & Lighting District. This petition shall be in accordance with the Right to Vote on Taxes Act.
4. Following review and confirmation of the petition, the City shall conduct a Public Hearing and an election of the owner(s) in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act and the Right to Vote on Taxes Act. The assessment may only be levied if there is not a majority protest and a majority of the ballots weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property, are in favor of the proposal.
5. The owners of the property shall convey title of the property to be maintained (including any existing facilities such as water meters), to the City.
6. Properties will be assessed upon inclusion of the assessment on the County Assessment Roll.
7. Property owners shall be responsible for disclosing the assessment upon the sale of their private property. If there is a Homeowners' Association, the assessment shall be explained in the CC&Rs.
8. Properties will be assessed upon inclusion of the parcels on the Assessment Roll by the County Assessor's Office.

BENEFIT METHODOLOGY
According to the Landscaping and Lighting Act, the assessment "may be apportioned by any formula or method, which fairly distributes the new amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements" (Streets and Highways Code, Section 22573). Under the Right to Vote on Taxes Act, only special benefits are assessable.
Citywide Assessment
The Citywide assessment was confirmed by a majority vote for Measure K during the November 1996 elections. Measure K provides for a continuation of the $53 per unit per year Citywide assessment through June 1998. On July 1, 1998, the Citywide assessment increased to $59 per unit per year.
On July 11, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2006-106 adopting the new rate of $79 per unit for FY 2006/07, which includes an annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) not to exceed 2%.
The Citywide assessment provides for street lighting and three categories of landscaping:
Category 1 - Bishop Ranch Area
Landscaping maintenance within the Bishop Ranch area is governed by their Annexation Agreement to the City of San Ramon.
Category 2 - Arterial Medians
Medians along arterials are the responsibility of the City and will be maintained at a standard determined by the City. Arterials are: Crow Canyon Road, Bollinger Canyon Road (between Crow Canyon Road and Alcosta Boulevard), San Ramon Valley Boulevard, Alcosta Boulevard, Dougherty Road, Village Parkway, Fostoria Way, and Old Ranch Road.
Category 3 - Arterial Roadsides
Roadsides along arterials are the shared responsibility of the City and the adjacent private development – 30% of the cost for arterial roadsides is included within the Citywide assessment while the remaining 70% is included within the special zone assessments described below. This shared responsibility is based upon the following factors:
a. Enhanced landscaping along arterial roadsides provides special benefit to both the City and the adjacent property owners.
b. Portions of the landscaped arterial roadside areas were previously maintained by the adjacent development, or private property owners, and were then deeded over to the City for maintenance.
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 140 Attachment: B: Revised 1984-1 Engineers Report (2025-050 : L&L 1984 Approve & Set Public Hearing) c. Arterial roadside landscaping was originally installed as part of the private development. d. In some cases, landscaped arterial roadside areas provide special benefit by serving as an entry statement into the private development area.
Confirmation of the Citywide assessment was based on the methodology as prescribed in the FY 1996/97 Engineer's Report for the City of San Ramon Landscaping & Lighting District 1984-1.
As a result, the methodology did not include the assessment of any public agency properties for the Citywide assessment. Starting in FY 2006/07 public agencies including fire stations, schools (both public and private), churches, and City owned facilities will be assessed using the commercial/institutional methodology. The methodology for nonresidential, commercial, and industrial properties remains consistent with the FY 1996/97 Engineer's Report.
Special Zone Assessments
Special zone assessments provide for landscaping and maintenance of landscaping in two categories:
Category 1 - Arterial Roadside
Roadsides along arterials are the shared responsibility of the City and the adjacent private development. The special zone assessments provide for 70% of the cost of arterial roadsides.
Category 2 - Other Areas
Public medians, parkways, public open space, and roadsides other than arterial medians and arterial roadsides provide a special benefit to and are the responsibility of the private development adjacent to such landscaping. Therefore, all costs associated with these areas are provided by the special zone assessment.
City services for the landscaping or the maintenance of these two categories will be assessed on a benefit basis against properties through the creation of a special zone. The special assessment zone will be defined by either the boundaries of the specific subdivision requesting the maintenance or by the District Engineer who will determine special benefit.
Currently, there are 17 special zones:
1. Special Zone 3 - Canyon Lakes 10. Special Zone 12 - El Nido
2. Special Zone 4 - Vista San Ramon 11. Special Zone 13 - Crown Ridge
3. Special Zone 5 - Summerwood Loop 12. Special Zone 14 - Four Oaks
4. Special Zone 6 - West Branch 13. Special Zone 15 - Circle E
5. Special Zone 7 - Bent Creek 14. Special Zone 16 - Thomas Ranch
6. Special Zone 8 - Deerwood 15. Special Zone 17 - Henry Ranch
7. Special Zone 9 - Country View 16. Special Zone 18 - Old Ranch Summit
8. Special Zone 10 - Old Ranch Estates 17. Special Zone 19 - Glass House
9. Special Zone 11 - Village Parkway

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 27, 2025
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Brian Bornstein, Public Works Director
By: Gary Manuel, Landscape Program Manager
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2025-051 - Approving the Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District Engineer's Report for FY 2025/26, Adopting a Resolution of Intention to Levy and Collect Assessments for FY 2025/26, and Setting a Public Hearing for June 10, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (District) was formed in 2018 for the purpose of maintaining public landscaping and lighting improvements associated with The Preserve Development. Most of the improvements have now been constructed and accepted by the City of San Ramon (City). Costs for FY 2025/26 are based on FY 2024/25 maintenance costs, the inspection of the already accepted areas, and quotes from contractors to complete certain maintenance activities. The proposed maximum assessment limit will be $443.96, and the proposed actual annual assessment per unit will be $295.99, both based on reserve fund levels and annual operating and replacement expenses. The Public Hearing is set for June 10, 2025.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt this Resolution approving The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District Engineer's Report for FY 2025/26, adopting a Resolution of intention to levy and collect assessments for FY 2025/26, and setting a Public Hearing for June 10, 2025.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District was formed on March 13, 2018, through adoption of Resolution No. 2018-033, to fund the proposed public landscaping program associated with The Preserve (Faria) Development. Property owners within the District will pay an annual assessment to fund the maintenance of public landscaping. Such maintenance is performed through a combination of City staff and contractors.
To reestablish a Landscaping and Lighting District under the California Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code §22500 et seq.) (Act), a local agency must
5.5 Packet Pg. 164
follow a structured legal process. The first step necessary to re-establish the District for FY 2025/26 was completed on March 11, 2025, when the City Council approved Resolution No. 2025-028, describing new improvements and ordering the District Engineer to prepare and file the Engineer's Report for FY 2025/26. The FY 2025/26 Engineer's Report (Attachment A) is outlined by the Act as the second step necessary to re-establish the District. The final step required by the Act is to conduct a Public Hearing and adopt a Resolution confirming the diagram and assessments and levying the assessments for FY 2025/26. This allows staff to prepare the database of parcels and corresponding assessments to be included on the property tax roll, which must be submitted to the Contra Costa County Assessor's Office by August 10, 2025.
The Engineer's Report aims to provide a detailed description of improvements and estimated revenues and expenditures for the District. The FY 2025/26 Engineer's Report includes a diagram defining boundaries, actual revenues, and expenditures for FY 2023/24, budgeted revenues and expenditures for FY 2024/25, projected revenues and expenditures for FY 2024/25, and the proposed budget for FY 2025/26.
Improvements
All improvements to be maintained by the District in FY 2025/26 were constructed by The Preserve developer in accordance with approved project plans and, except for the three (3) roundabouts on Faria Preserve Parkway, have been transferred to the City. The transferred improvements include landscaping, irrigation, hardscape, a walking path, and related features along Faria Preserve Parkway, a section of Bollinger Canyon Road, and a section of Omega Road. The timing of the roundabout transfer was delayed due to development traffic and acceptance is dependent on the developer’s schedule, but the majority of the improvements have been accepted for ownership and maintenance by the City in FY 2024/25.
Cost of Maintenance
The initial cost of maintenance, the annualized replacement cost of improvements, and the cost of administration of the District were estimated as presented in the Engineer’s Report that was prepared for the formation of the District.
Anticipated expenditures for FY 2025/26 are based on FY 2024/25 maintenance costs, the inspection of the already accepted areas, and quotes from contractors to complete certain maintenance activities. The estimated costs and budget are summarized below:
DESCRIPTION COSTS
Annual Operation, Maintenance and Replacement Costs $159,209 Less: General Benefit Contribution (7.92%) (12,609)
Total Assessable Direct Costs $146,600
Incidental Costs (Tax Roll Fees and Administration) $8,500 Total Maximum Costs that can be Assessed $155,100
5.5 Packet Pg. 165
Assessment
The initial maximum assessment for the District was set at $363.13 per benefit point. This can be adjusted by the greater of 2% or the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area, All Urban Consumers. This year, the applicable inflation rate was 2.7%. Therefore, a 2.7% increase has been applied. The current maximum assessment that can be levied is $443.96. Single-family homes will be assessed one benefit point and townhome condominiums will be assessed 0.75 benefit points.
Not all of the actual costs may be assessed. A certain fraction of the benefits of the improvements is deemed to be of general benefit to the community as a whole and is not assessable. Analysis done for the original Engineer’s Report determined that this benefit was
7.92%. Therefore, the total cost to be assessed for FY 2025/26 is equal to 92.08% of the $159,209 annual costs, or $146,600, plus fees and administration costs for a total of $155,100.
All the units to be constructed as part of The Preserve project will be assessable in FY 2025/26.
This totals 524 benefit points that will be assessed at an assessment rate of $295.99 and will result in revenue of $155,100 to fund maintenance and replacement costs for FY 2025/26.
Future Reserve Study Update
As the roundabouts are accepted for maintenance by the City, actual costs of maintenance and administration will be updated. In addition, appropriate reserves for non-routine maintenance and replacement of improvements will be accumulated. The amount of money that needs to be expended in any given year and the required reserves will be tracked and presented to the Finance Committee and City Council in annual updates to a Reserve Fund Study and the annual Engineer’s Report.
Finance Committee Comments
On May 21, 2025, staff presented the Engineer’s Report and an overview of the FY 2025/26 District budget to the Finance Committee. Staff reviewed the process and improvements with the Committee and received comments.

This Assessment Engineer’s Report that separates and quantifies the special and general benefits and assesses the proportional special benefit to fund a proposed landscaping program containing decorative planting, irrigation, minor hardscaping, a walking path and pedestrian improvements within the proposed The Preserve Landscape and Lighting Assessment District (hereafter referred to as the “District”). Article XIID Section 4 of the Constitution of the State of California (“Proposition 218”) and recent court rulings have made clear the importance of separating and quantifying the special and general benefits and supporting that quantification with evidence and analysis.
IMPROVEMENTS
Location of District and Improvements
The District will provide ongoing funding for a landscaping program containing decorative planting, irrigation, hardscaping, a walking path and pedestrian improvements. The proposed District area was annexed into the City by LAFCO Resolution 08-27 on February 11, 2009. The Faria Preserve is generally located north of Deerwood Drive and Deerwood Road, east of Bollinger Canyon Road and west of Omega Road.
The improvements are located along Faria Preserve Parkway, a section of Bollinger Canyon Road, and a section of Omega Road.
The Preserve project plans containing detailed information as to the exact description and location of the improvements are on file with the City. All improvements to be maintained by the District are located in the public right of way and exclude those fences, gates, screen walls and existing retaining walls on Faria Preserve Parkway and those improvements to be maintained by The Preserve Home Owners Association(s) and those elements to be maintained by the Landscaping and Lighting District 1984-1.
Landscaping Program
The Landscaping Program provides year-round maintenance and management services. Landscape improvements include trees, shrubs and decorative plantings together with an irrigation system containing controllers, valves and booster pumps. Hardscape improvements include decorative paving, retaining walls and a DG walking path. The walking path improvements include sitting benches, trash receptacles and drinking fountains.
Services include routine maintenance of the landscape and hardscape improvements. Landscape services include pruning, trimming, irrigation, fertilization, repair and replacement of the improvements. Hardscape services include repair, painting, cleaning, graffiti removal, replacement of the improvements, regular trash removal and all utilities.
The landscaping will be installed in order to create a common theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District.
Overhead
In addition to the costs to maintain and service the District improvements mentioned above, the City will incur costs for staff time and expense related to the programs mentioned above, as well as the management of the District. Staff time includes oversight and coordination of both City and contractor provided services, annual tax roll preparation, and addressing property owner questions and concerns. These activities are directly related to the District and improvements within the District, and without them, the improvements could not be efficiently completed or properly maintained on an ongoing basis.

Introduction
Pursuant to Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the public improvements shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the project. Furthermore, Article XIIID requires that the City separate the general benefit from special benefit, so that only the special benefit may be assessed.
Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties within an assessment district must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Examples of parcels which might be exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, public parks and parkways and open space areas. At this time, there are parcels expected to develop within the District that would be exempt from the assessment, as they are planned public streets, open space, and park areas, which receive no special benefit from the improvements.
Identification of Benefit
The operation and maintenance of the improvements and necessary related administrative expenses the City will incur in obtaining and managing maintenance services will provide benefits to both those properties within the boundary of the District and to the community as a whole. The benefits conferred to property within the boundary of the District from the public improvements are described below. This report does not consider any general enhancement of property value.
AESTHETIC BENEFITS
Aesthetics, or the beautification of property, is a primary component of livability. Livability encompasses several qualities and characteristics that are unique to a specific area. The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) expands on the concept of livability and the various benefits associated with that designation:
“The livability of an area increases property desirability and business activity. Livability is largely affected by conditions in the public realm, places where people naturally interact with each other and their community, including streets, parks, transportation terminals and other public facilities.
Livability also refers to the environmental and social quality of an area as perceived by employees, customers and visitors. This includes local environmental conditions, the quality of social interactions, opportunities for recreation and entertainment, aesthetics, and existence of unique cultural and environmental resources.”
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements increases the aesthetics, appearance and desirability of properties within the proposed boundaries of the District. The overall appeal of the District is enhanced when improvements are in place and kept in a healthy and satisfactory condition.
The maintenance of the improvements will provide and create a cohesive community identity that will serve to improve the livability within and helps define a positive urban character with the visual features of a destination community. This encourages the enjoyment of the neighborhood as well as promotes the maximum use of each area.
Conversely, appeal decreases when improvements are not well maintained, unsafe, or destroyed by the elements or vandalism. Upgraded and maintained amenities will enhance the appearance, desirability and “livability” of the property throughout the District.
5.5.a
Packet Pg. 176 Attachment: A - The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District Engineer’s Report (2025-051 : L&L the Preserve Approve & Set 8 PEDESTRIAN BENEFITS
Walking paths will be maintained and free from trash. These routinely maintained sidewalks will provide a year-round, aesthetically pleasing environment that will encourage pedestrian activity.
Regular maintenance and repair ensures that the improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties adjacent to or in close proximity to the improvements within the proposed District. According to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011), streetscapes have a significant effect on how people view and interact with their community. With streetscapes that are safe and inviting, people are more likely to walk, which can help reduce automobile traffic, improve public health and attract residents to the community.
Maintained walking improvements will enhance the local identity of the District, which will lead to a stronger and healthier community. The walking improvements including benches, water fountains and trash receptacles will establish continuity throughout the district. The walking improvements also provide an additional means to enjoy the landscaping improvements.
A survey conducted by DMB (an Arizona based commercial developer) found that there was a strong demand for communities characterized by pedestrian access, a sense of connection, and a sense of community and diversity (Urban Land Institute, 2006). According to the Urban Land Institute report “Creating Walkable Places: Compact Mixed-Use Solutions”, people want their neighborhoods to provide more opportunities to walk (Urban Land Institute, 2006). A survey sponsored by the Surface Transportation Policy Project found that 55% of respondents would like to walk more, 63% would like to run errands on foot and walk to stores, and 79% would like sidewalks and other places to walk and exercise (Urban Land Institute, 2006). The installation of the interconnecting sidewalks improves the livability and appeal for the properties.
SECURITY AND SAFETY BENEFITS
A recent study has found that after landscape improvements were installed, there was a 46% decrease in crash rates across urban arterial and highway sites and a second study reviewed found a 5% to 20% reduction in mid-block crashes after trees and planters in urban arterial roads were put in place. In addition, there is less graffiti, vandalism, and littering in outdoor spaces with natural landscapes than in comparable plant-less spaces (Wolf, 2010). As residents are active in their neighborhoods there is a proportional reduction in crime as these neighborhoods become more cohesive, self-aware, and self-policing.
Further, by including landscaping in the central portion of streets, this will discourage pedestrians from cutting across the streets and encourage the use of designated pedestrian crossings. The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) has found that streetscapes reduce traffic speeds, and when combined with improved pedestrian crossing conditions, can significantly reduce collisions.
According to the Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”), sidewalks and walking trails reduce roadway accidents, including pedestrian/motor vehicle accidents. In addition, roadways without sidewalks are more than twice as likely to have pedestrian involved accidents compared to sites with sidewalks on both sides of the street (FHWA, n.d.). In 2008, the National Traffic Safety Administration’s (“NHTSA”) National Pedestrian Crash Report identified California as one of the states with the highest number of pedestrian deaths (NHTSA, 2008).
The maintained improvements will provide an increased level of safety to the property, residents, and visitors to the District. Convenient and safe pedestrian access is a critical component to the establishment of a community. Well-maintained and clean sidewalks and walking trails provide a separation between vehicle and pedestrian as well as property and pedestrian, which provides a safety benefit for both property and pedestrian. Safety for pedestrians involves not only a degree of protection from vehicular accidents, but also from criminal activity. Well-maintained areas mitigate crime, especially vandalism, and enhance pedestrian and vehicular safety.
5.5.a
Packet Pg. 177 Attachment: A - The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District Engineer’s Report (2025-051 : L&L the Preserve Approve & Set 9 The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA, n.d.) notes that annually, around 4,500 pedestrians are killed in traffic crashes with motor vehicles in the United States. Pedestrians killed while "walking along the roadway" account for almost 8 percent of those deaths. Providing safe walkways separated from the travel lanes could help to prevent up to 88 percent of these "walking along roadway” crashes.
Separation of General Benefit
Section 4 of Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred,” and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. A general benefit is an overall and similar benefit to the public at large resulting from the maintenance and operation of the improvements to be provided by the assessments levied.
The maintenance of the improvements will provide improved aesthetic, pedestrian and safety benefits to property within the District, but it is recognized that the maintenance activities will also provide a level of benefit to some property within proximity to the District, as well as visitors and individuals passing through the District. This is considered to be a general benefit that cannot be funded by District assessments.
Pedestrian and vehicular traffic from property within and outside of the District, as well as individuals passing through the District area will utilize and enjoy the maintained improvements. Therefore, the general benefit created as a result of District maintenance activities must be considered.
The maintenance of the improvements will also provide a level of improved aesthetic, pedestrian and safety benefits to pedestrians and vehicles that will travel through the District to access properties outside of the District boundaries. Further, non-resident pedestrians may take advantage of the clean and safe areas and incorporate the area into their fitness routine as part of the overall route travelled. These activities create general benefit that is required to be separated and quantified as shown below.
Quantification of General Benefit
The amount of general benefit that is provided from the District activities cannot be funded via property owner assessments within the District. In order for property within the District to be assessed only for that portion of special benefit received from the District maintenance and service activities, general benefits provided by the ongoing maintenance of the improvements needs to be quantified.
The District is projected to consist of a variety of property land uses, including 296 single family residential parcels, 304 condominium units, a house of worship and approximately 220 acres used for non-residential purposes, including open space, recreational and public property. Properties within the District are classified to a land use category according to the assigned land use code as shown on the County Assessor’s latest secured property tax roll.
As a result of the maintenance activities, there will be a level of general benefit to traffic and/or pedestrians that do not live in or intend to conduct business within the District. This general benefit, serving as a passthrough corridor or destination for traffic and/or pedestrians, needs to be quantified. The identified benefits provided by the maintenance of the improvements include beautification of the area, pedestrian benefits and security/safety benefits. Each of these benefits must be considered and quantified.
General Benefit Portion of Improved Aesthetic Benefits
The automotive traffic, generated from property outside of the District, which may pass though the District and enjoy the maintained improvements must be estimated. The AECOM Final Transportation Impact Analysis was prepared in August 2013 for the Faria Preserve project (the “Traffic Study”).
5.5.a
Packet Pg. 178 Attachment: A - The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District Engineer’s Report (2025-051 : L&L the Preserve Approve & Set 10 The Traffic Study analyzed trips generated by the Faria development and the impact of those trips on the surrounding transportation infrastructure. The Traffic Study projected trips generated by the Faria project and trips generated by the non-project area to estimate the total trip loads on selected intersections. By comparing the Project Trip Assignments with the Cumulative (2030) Plus Project Intersection Traffic Volumes and Geometry, it was found that no through traffic was calculated to pass through the Faria development. However, the Traffic Study was in the eastbased upon a roadway configuration that differs from the current development plan. The difference is that the Eastern connection of Faria Parkway formerly connected to Deerwood Road (Intersection “A”), and now Faria Preserve Parkway connects to Bollinger Canyon Road at the west end and San Ramon Valley Boulevard at the east end. To allow for potential through traffic trips due to the roadway configuration change, it is estimated that 5% of the total traffic trips passing the improvements will be from sources outside the District (through and/or destination traffic) and thereby will enjoy an aesthetic benefit from their maintenance.
General Benefit Portion of Improved Pedestrian Benefits The pathways connect the neighborhoods with open space and park areas. The walking paths create recreational and fitness opportunities as well as develop a sense of community. There will be pedestrian traffic, generated from property outside of the District, which may utilize the maintained walking paths in the District and access property located outside of the District boundaries. Pedestrians may also incorporate the walking paths into their leisure and fitness routines, thus making the District walking paths serve as a pass-through portion of their overall route travelled.
The park and open space associated with the Faria development will draw people from outside the district who will enjoy the pedestrian benefits. The walking paths maintained by the District are a subset of the entire sidewalk, walking path and foot trail system planned for the Faria development open space and park parcels.
The 13.6-acre park associated with the Faria development is approximately 3.3% of the City’s total park acreage. The 190 acres of open space is approximately 8.2 % of the City’s total open space area. The location of the project area is distant from the residential core of the City and as evidenced by the Traffic Study, minimal through-traffic is anticipated to travel through the area. However, as a pedestrian recreational destination area, there is an expectation of a higher percentage of out of District pedestrian use relative to total pedestrian use. The out of District (General Benefit) percentage of use is estimated at 1/8 or 12.5% of pedestrians enjoying the District improvements.
General Benefit Portion of Improved Security &Safety Benefits The improvements will provide improved security and safety to persons and property. The identified benefits to property (reduced graffiti, vandalism and littering) are localized and therefore limited to the property within the District. 0.0% General Benefit is estimated to accrue to property outside the District. The safety and security general benefit to persons is proportional to the pedestrian benefit estimated for those outside the District, or 12.5%. The General Benefit for persons and property are averaged to produce an estimated General Benefit of 6.25% for improved security and safety.
Collective District-wide General Benefit
Since the District is comprised of improved aesthetics, pedestrian and increased safety and security benefits resulting from a blend of improvements, the activity of both pedestrians and vehicles must be addressed in a collective form rather than independently. Therefore, the average of the general benefit percentages has been used to quantify the overall level of general benefit for the District. This general benefit result is provided in the table below:

The general benefit, which is the percentage of the total budget (excluding District administrative costs), that must be funded through sources other than assessments is 7.92%. The special benefit then, which is the percentage of the budget that may be funded by assessments, is 92.08%.
Apportioning of Special Benefit
As outlined in Section 5.2, each of the parcels within the District receives a special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it, as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements, is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements.
The total costs of maintenance and operation, less the amount of general benefit identified, will be assessed to the parcels within the District based on the benefit points assigned to each parcel. This Section provides a detailed breakdown of the assigned benefit points described herein. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate parcels of different land use, intensity of use, size, location, and proximity to improvements. The City has a well-established Assessment Factoring Methodology that has considered the proportional benefit received by all property types in the City for landscaping and lighting improvements.
Each parcel’s land use is a factor that differentiates parcels based on the benefit received from the improvements within the District. Parcels with residential land use are the basis for assigning benefit points for the maintenance and service activities.
Common areas, roads and easements are deemed to receive no benefit from the District maintenance activities because they serve as connectors for other properties and do not receive benefit from the increased aesthetics, security and safety or pedestrian benefits. Utility parcels are also deemed to not benefit from the maintenance of the improvements.
The following table provides the benefit points assigned to each land use category of parcels within the District.

Data Considerations and Parcel Changes
The use of the latest Assessor’s Secured Roll information has been and shall be used in the future as the basis in determining each parcel’s land use category and acreage, unless better data was or is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number, the land use category, residential dwelling units, and acreage of the subsequent valid parcels shall serve as the basis in assigning parcel factor special benefit points.
Special Considerations: Publicly Owned Parcels
Any publicly owned parcels that benefit from the improvements cannot be exempt from the assessment.
The special benefits accruing to these types of parcels must be determined using the same kind of formulas and benefit point assignment as applied to privately owned parcels. This requirement is clearly conveyed in Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution, which states in part, “... Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.” No publicly owned parcels have been categorized and assigned benefit units using the same methodology as privately owned parcels, based on their land use as shown on the County Assessor’s latest secured property tax roll.

Balance to be Assessed
It is anticipated that approximately all of the improvements will be completed and accepted by the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, the estimated annual maintenance and replacement costs budgeted reflect ownership of all of the improvements for most of the year.
The general benefit, which is the percentage of the total budget, excluding incidental costs, which must be funded through sources other than assessments, is 7.92% of the total project cost. The special benefit, which is the percentage of the budget that may be funded by assessments, is 92.08%.
Description
Budget
Amount
Estimated Annual Maintenance and Replacement Costs $159,209 Less: General Benefit Contribution (7.92%) ($12,609)
Total Assessable Direct Costs $146,600
Incidental Costs (Tax Roll Fees and Administration) $8,500 Total Maximum Costs that can be Assessed $155,100
Total Annual Cost (Maintenance, Replacement, Incidental Costs) $167,709 Maximum Annual Assessment Amount per Benefit Point and Annual Increase to the Maximum Annual Assessment
The assessment per benefit point was calculated at the time of formation of the District by dividing the total estimated costs to be assessed by the total benefit points assigned to the parcels within the District.
The maximum initial annual assessment was determined to be = $363.13 As of June 1 of each fiscal year after the base year (2018/2019), the maximum annual assessment (the “Maximum Annual Assessment”) shall be increased by the greater of 2% or the February Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area, All Urban Consumers. It is specifically provided that the Maximum Annual Assessment shall be increased each fiscal year, computed on the previous fiscal year’s Maximum Annual Assessment. The actual annual assessment levied in any fiscal year may be less than, but shall not exceed the Maximum Annual Assessment, unless appropriate proceedings are conducted by the District to authorize any increase beyond the Maximum Annual Assessment. The applicable inflation rate for this year’s assessment is 2.7%. Therefore, a 2.7% increase has been applied.
The Maximum Annual Assessment levied in FY 2024/25 was $432.29 per Benefit Point.
The Maximum Annual Assessment that may be levied in FY 2025/2026 is $443.96 per Benefit Point.
The special benefit analysis and assignment of benefit points has been calculated in relation to the total costs to be assessed. No assessment will be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel.

ACTUAL ASSESSMENT TO BE LEVIED
The actual assessment to be levied is based on the Estimate of Costs, Special and General Benefit and Method of Assessment. For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the total estimated maximum assessable costs are $155,100. It is anticipated that 524 benefit points will be assessable as of June 30, 2025.

TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Jennifer Wakeman, Finance Director
By: Jennifer Wakeman, Finance Director
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2025-054 - Establishing the Annual Gann Appropriations Limit for the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2014- 1 for Fiscal Year 2025-26
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution establishing the annual Gann appropriations limit for Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2014-1 for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In 2014, the City of San Ramon formed Community Facilities District No. 2014-1, pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. The purpose of the CFD is to finance public infrastructure and services to support development within the districts. At the time, the CFD was comprised of Acre, the original subdivision, in Tax Zone 1. The CFD has since grown to include five additional developments across three different tax zones, including The Preserve (formerly Faria Preserve), Annexation No.1 in Tax Zone 2; Promenade, Annexation No. 2 in Tax Zone 3; 500 Deerwood, Annexation No. 3 in Tax Zone 1; Aspenwood, Annexation No. 4 in Tax Zone 1; and 2481 Deerwood, Annexation No. 5 also in Tax Zone 1.
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, commonly known as the Gann Limit, places a limit on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated by state and local governments each fiscal year. Government Code Section 7910 requires each local government entity, including community facilities districts, to establish its appropriations limit for each fiscal year. The limit is determined based on the previous year's limit, adjusted for changes in the cost of living and population. Each year, the State Department of Finance (DOF) transmits an estimate of the percentage change in population of local governments (Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 2227) and produces an estimate of the statewide growth in personal income.
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the appropriations limit for CFD No. 2014-1 has been calculated in accordance with the guidelines provided by the California Department of Finance. The adjustment factors include the California per capita personal income change and the population change within the City of San Ramon.
5.8 Packet Pg. 202
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the proposed appropriations limit for CFD No. 2014-1 is $18,954,543.
This limit ensures the CFD complies with constitutional and statutory requirements and remains within the bounds of allowable appropriations.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this resolution. Establishing the appropriations limit is a compliance measure required by State law.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
• The Gann Appropriations Limit will be published on the City's website annually and made available for public consumption.
• The CFD will monitor its budget annually to ensure that budgeted amounts do not exceed its Appropriations Limit.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve this resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement (C2022-026) with Livermore Pleasanton Umpires Association for Athletic Officials for Adult Softball Programs for additional funds not to exceed $47,085 for a cumulative contract amount not to exceed $126,750 and extending the agreement to June 30, 2026.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of San Ramon requires Athletic Officials for Adult Softball Programs. The City offers recreation activities to participants in numerous sports, including adult softball, that require trained officials. The Parks and Community Services Department organizes and manages a fee based adult softball leagues held during multiple seasons throughout the year. Staff handle participant registration, scheduling, and facility management.
On March 8, 2022, the City issued and advertised the Athletic Officials for Adult Softball Programs Request for Proposals (RFP) on the City website, and additionally notified six (6) regional official associations that the City would be accepting proposals to provide Athletic Officials for Adult Softball Programs. By the due date of March 31, 2022, the City received one complete proposal from Livermore Pleasanton Umpires Association (LPUA).
A selection panel consisting of City staff reviewed and rated the proposal. The vendor was rated on the following criteria:
1. General Qualifications
2. Relevant Experience
3. Proposed Staffing
4. Pricing
5.9 Packet Pg. 207
5. Proposed Approach
6. Responsiveness
7. References
Livermore Pleasanton Umpire Association was awarded the Athletic Officials for Adult Softball Programs contract based upon the criteria listed above. On July 12, 2024, Amendment No. 1, was executed, authorizing an additional $12,675 and extending the agreement to June 30, 2025.
Staff continues to be satisfied with the services provided by Livermore Pleasanton Umpires Association and therefore recommends exercising the City’s option to extend the agreement to June 30, 2026 and authorize additional funds in the amount of $47,085 for a total cumulative contract amount not to exceed $126,750.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The City entered into an agreement with Livermore Pleasanton Umpires Association to provide Athletic Official professional services for Adult Softball programs on June 13, 2022. By the end of FY2024-2025, the City will have paid $79,665. Staff anticipates continued growth in the program and, therefore, recommends that an additional $47,085 be added to the contract value to allow for a cumulative 4-year amount not to exceed $126,750. The proposed FY2025-2026 Parks and Community Services department budget includes the necessary funds for this contract.
Original Agreement $66,990 + Am. No 1 $12,675 + Am. No 2 $47,085 = Cumulative contract total not to exceed: $126,750

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 27, 2025
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Brian Bornstein, Public Works Director
By: Suzy Edwards, Associate Engineer
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2025-056 - Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Agreement with VSS International, Inc. for Construction of the Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015) in an Amount Not to Exceed $2,065,000
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015) is the City of San Ramon’s annual pavement project. On April 2, 2025, the City advertised the Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015). Four (4) bids were received and opened on April 30, 2025. The responsive and responsible low bidder for this Project is VSS International, Inc., with a base bid price of $1,794,120 and an approximate fifteen percent (15%) contingency of $270,880 to cover the base bid and any unforeseen conditions, for a total contract amount not to exceed of $2,065,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution, authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with VSS International, Inc. for construction of the Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015), in an amount not to exceed $2,065,000.
BACKGROUND
The Pavement Management Program (PMP) was developed as part of a Citywide Program to provide street maintenance on an annual basis. By performing this maintenance frequently and systematically, the City minimizes long-term maintenance costs associated with complete reconstruction of failed pavement and maintains a higher quality throughout the life of the pavement. The scope of work for the Annual Pavement Management Program is based on certain factors that include: roadway condition and age; repairs and preventative maintenance; and a geographic grouping of roadways.
The Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015), also known as PMP 2025, is a continuation of a two-year plan that started with the Pavement Management 2024 Project (CIP 000013), also known as PMP 2024. Staff structured PMP 2024 and PMP 2025 in a way that
5.10 Packet Pg. 211
would minimize costs and increase efficiency and flexibility by:
· Preparing the plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimates (PS&E) for these projects inhouse. o This reduces the design cost and increases flexibility by quickly swapping streets between years, if or when the need arises, at no extra cost. · Contracting directly with specialized contractors for items such as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramp upgrades and miscellaneous concrete repairs. o This direct contracting not only has saved in mark-ups that pavement contractors add to any work their subcontractors perform but also has allowed this work to be completed weeks or months prior to the start of the pavement projects allowing for any necessary concrete curing times, and potential overall project delays. · Placement of necessary crack seal prior to paving where appropriate with City staff. o This reduces construction costs and increases flexibility. · Separating projects (PMP 2024 and PMP 2025) per type of contractor’s specialty. o The PMP 2024 primarily focuses on the pavement treatment of low PCI streets and streets that required heavy maintenance or light rehabilitation treatments, such as overlays, mill and fills, and/or localized dig out repairs. The PMP 2025 will be attractive for the mid- and large-size asphalt concrete contractors as it will focus on a combination of slurry seal, micro-surfacing, and rubberized cape seal treatments, which are treatments commonly done by contractors that are capable of providing all of these treatments but tend to do limited asphalt concrete placement.
The Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015) includes slurry seal, micro-surfacing and rubberized cape seal treatments at different neighborhoods, and selected streets as listed below:
· Windemere Parkway between Rockhampton Road and East Branch Parkway · Pine Valley Road between Alcosta Boulevard and Thunderbird Drive · All streets in the Valley at Bent Creek and Bent Creek areas · Various streets in the Old Ranch Estates Drive area
· All streets and parking lots in Arlington Park area
· Alcosta Court
· Bridle Court
· Cantas Place, Ensenada Drive, Loreto Drive, Madrid Place, Roma Place, Santa Rosa Avenue, and Seville Place
· Various residential streets in Country View area - Barbados Drive, between Crow
5.10 Packet Pg. 212
Canyon Road and Jamaica Drive; Jamaica Drive, Suva Court, and Tahiti Drive Pavement striping and markings are included for all streets mentioned above, as are sharrows along Pine Valley Road between Thunderbird Drive and Alcosta Boulevard; and bike network improvements along Windemere Parkway from Rockhampton Road to East Branch Parkway.
Work Performed Under Other Contracts
ADA Curb Ramps and Miscellaneous Concrete
Curb ramp upgrades to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and sidewalk, curb and gutter repairs, have been completed under a separate contract as part of the Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015). Under this separate contract, the City’s contractor, Sposeto Engineering, Inc., upgraded approximately 28 curb ramps to current ADA standards within the limits of the Project.
CEQA Compliance
After an initial environmental review of the Projects, staff filed Notices of Exemption for the Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015) with the Contra Costa County Clerk on June 7, 2024. Pursuant to Section 15301(c) of Article 19, “Categorical Exemptions” of Chapter 3, “Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act” of Division 6, “Resources Agency” of Title 14, “Natural Resources” of California Code of Regulations, the Project is exempt from the provision of CEQA.
DISCUSSION
On April 2, 2025, the City advertised the Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015).
The Notice to Contractors was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website. The City received four (4) bids and opened the bids on April 30, 2025. The bidders’ names, their rankings, and bid amounts are as follows:
Rank Contractor Total Base Bid
1. VSS International, Inc. $1,794,120.00
2. Radius Earthwork, Inc. $1,874,569.07
3. O’Grady Paving, Inc. $2,119,000.00
4. Ghilotti Bros., Inc. $2,266,831.55
Upon review of the bid results, staff determined that VSS International, Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder based on the Total Bid as set forth in the bid documents. The low bid amount of $1,794,120.00 is lower than the Engineer’s Estimate of $2,910,036.45 by $1,115,916.45, or
5.10 Packet Pg. 213
approximately 38.3%. There are sufficient funds to proceed with awarding the contract to VSS International, Inc.
Timing of the advertising for this type of construction affects bid results, as can be seen by results this year. The engineer's estimate was conservative based on past bid results from 2021 PMP to 2023 PMP, where inflation was higher, and bids were advertised later in the year.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Five-Year 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program authorized a total Project Budget of $5,000,000 for design and construction of the Pavement Management 2025 Project (CIP 000015).

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 27, 2025
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Jennifer Wakeman, Finance Director
By: Jennifer Wakeman, Finance Director
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2025-059 - Adopting the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating and Capital Budget, Establishing an Appropriations Limit, and Authorizing Carryover Project Appropriations
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating and Capital Budget, establishing an appropriations limit as required by Article XIIIB of the State Constitution for Fiscal Year 2025-26, and authorizing the carryover of unspent capital project appropriations into Fiscal Year 2025-26.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Annually the City adopts an Operating and Capital budget, which establishes expenditure authorization for the City. The process of developing the budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 began in December 2024 when staff developed budget guidelines and a budget calendar with the objective of delivering an on-time budget proposal to the City Council by June 2025. As part of the budget review process, three public City Council budget workshops were held; March 23rd, April 15th, and April 23rd. At the May 13, 2025 regular City Council meeting, staff presented the preliminary draft (“Proposed”) Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget and Capital Improvement Project Budget and informed the Council that the reserve level was at 41.8%, or 5.8% above the 36% target.
City Budget - All Funds
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Budget for all City funds and programs totals $148.5m in expenditures. The budget is comprised of a General Fund budget of $71.9m, Special Revenue Funds budget of $37.1m, Debt Service Funds budget of $5.2m, a Capital budget of $13.4m, and an Internal Service Funds budget of $20.9m. The FY26 budget for the two Geological Hazard Abatement Districts totals $1.0 million (included in the Special Revenues Funds category).
Resources funding the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Budget total $152.4m and include the anticipated proceeds from Measure N of $14.8m.
General Fund
8.1 Packet Pg. 224
The General Fund is the City’s operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City that are at the sole discretion of the City Council. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditure budget for the General Fund is $71.9m. Revenue available to finance General Fund services is $81.0m.
As a general tax, the receipts from Measure N are recorded to the General Fund.
Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue resources that are legally restricted or earmarked toward a specific function, activity, or program area. The total Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditure budget for Special Revenue Funds is $37.1m. Revenue available to finance expenditures is $48.1m. Surplus revenue will remain as fund reserves for future uses.
The budget document distinguishes two types of special revenue funds, operating and nonoperating as described below:
· Operating - Funding for expenditures in these funds typically come from special fees or assessments collected annually to pay for a basic, ongoing program or service of the City in a specific area.
· Non-Operating - These funds are typically designed to finance projects and activities in the City’s Capital Improvement Program. Revenues are often accumulated until they can be applied to eligible projects. Their use are often inconsistent and made to one-time projects.
Housing Successor Fund
The Housing Fund is used to account for revenue received to create, preserve, and improve housing in the City of San Ramon. There are no expenditures in the Housing Fund for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Revenue available to finance expenditures is $0.4m. Surplus revenue will remain as fund reserves for future uses.
Debt Service Funds
Debt Service Funds account for the accumulation of resources for payment of principal and interest on the City’s general long-term debt obligations. The total Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditure budget is $5.2 million. Transfers in from the General Fund and department internal service charges provide funding to cover expenditures.
Capital Projects Fund
The Capital Projects section of the budget contains a summary of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (5-Year CIP). The 5-Year CIP document is prepared separately by the Public Works Department / Engineering Services Division. It is a comprehensive five-year plan that identifies needed capital projects in order to coordinate the financing and timing of improvements in a manner that maximizes the return on investment to the public. The 5-Year CIP is a guide for identifying current and future fiscal year requirements and becomes the basis
8.1 Packet Pg. 225
for determining the annual Capital Budget.
The first year of the 5-Yar CIP is referred to as the Capital Budget. The Capital Budget is incorporated into the annual budget and appropriates funds for specific improvements. The FY26 Capital Budget totals $13.4m. These expenditures are able to be paid for with FY26 revenue of $0.5m, $12.6m in net transfers from special revenue sources, and approximately $23.9m in beginning fund reserves are available to finance expenditures. Specific project details can be found within the 5-Year CIP document.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds account for the financing of goods and services provided by one City department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City, or to other governmental units on a cost reimbursement basis. The total Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditure budget is $20.9m. Revenue available to finance expenditures is $19.2m and net Transfers In of $0.7m.
Funds accumulated in prior years provide additional funding to cover expenditures.
Appropriations Limit
In addition to adopting an annual budget, Article XIIIB of the State Constitution requires the City to establish an annual appropriations limit. The computation for this limit is attached as Exhibit 2.
The established appropriations limit for the City is $108,935,087. The City budget is under the appropriations limit by $56,312,461.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The City’s General Fund is projected to have a fund balance of $25.3m at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2025-26. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Budget includes an increase to reserves of $2.9m in combination with $3.5m of Measure N revenue anticipated and not budgeted from Fiscal Year 2024-25, leaving a projected fund balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2025-26 of $31.8m. This is sufficient to satisfy the 36% contingency reserve policy of $27.4m.
This Resolution will establish expenditure authority for all City activities totaling $148,494,141 for Fiscal Year 2025-26. This Resolution will also establish the State required appropriations limit and authorize the carryover of unspent Fiscal Year 2024-25 capital improvement appropriations into Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 12
The budget is both a spending plan for the City’s available �inancial resources and the legal authority for City departments to spend resources for public purposes. The City Council and City staff respond to the community’s needs by using City resources to provide services and programming. The budget balances not only revenues and costs but also community priorities and interests.
The budget document contains several elements designed to enhance the reader’s knowledge and understanding of the spending plan represented by the budget. This guide provides an overview of the structure of the budget, the sections contained in it, and the major objectives of each section. The guide also provides an overview of how the �inancial information contained in the budget document is organized, and how expenditures for personnel, supplies, services, and other expenditure categories are accumulated into the various levels reported in the budget document. This guide also reviews how programs or activities are summarized at the next higher organizational level. Charts showing the various reporting relationships are included for the reader’s review and reference.
Organization of the Budget Document
City Manager’s Budget Message
The primary goal of the Budget Message is to communicate to the reader the major issues facing the City of San Ramon and how those issues impact the City’s �inancial plan. The Budget Message accomplishes this task by outlining the City’s �iscal status and summarizing the actions being recommended to the City Council to meet the legal requirements for a balanced budget. It describes program impacts and modi�ications and addresses the City’s �inancial outlook.
City Strategic Priorities
This section of the document includes the City’s Mission Statement. It also includes the City Council Priorities and Goals, which are reviewed and updated at the City Council Annual Retreat. The operating budget and each department’s Major Action Plans re�lect their alignment with these priorities and goals.
Overview
This section of the document presents a City-wide organization chart, an overall pro�ile of the City, services, and accomplishments, and the City’s budget principles, policies, and processes.
All Funds Summaries
This section of the document presents a comprehensive picture of the City’s budgeted revenues and expenses for all funds. The budgets of local government agencies are organized by funds to segregate and account for restricted resources. Each fund is a separate accounting entity. In accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), there are two categories of funds for which the �inancial and budget statements are prepared: Governmental and Proprietary.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 13
The distinction between how the budgeted resources are accounted for in proprietary funds as compared to governmental funds is discussed in the “Basis of Budgetary Accounting” section located in the Budget Policies and Process section of this document. Department to fund relationships are summarized and consolidated �inancials are provided by fund type within the category. A listing of the transfers in /out between funds is also included in this section.
Staf�ing
This section contains an overview of staf�ing trends by department, full-time equivalent (FTE) counts by position, and a detailed listing of authorized positions by division.
Governmental Funds
This category of funds is used to track and manage the day-to-day activities of the City, which are primarily funded by taxes, grants, and similar revenue sources.
General Fund
This is the City’s chief operating fund. It provides the resources most local governments typically deliver, including public safety, parks & recreation, maintenance, and other general government functions required to support direct services to the community. This section provides an analytical overview of the General Fund for the budget year.
Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds are those used to account for the proceeds of speci�ic revenue resources that are legally restricted, or earmarked to be used, for a particular project or program. Examples of revenues tracked in this type of fund are grants received for road construction or public safety funding provided by the State. A summary of the anticipated �inancial activity for the budget year is provided in this section for each fund.
Special section breakouts are included for the following:
Housing Successor Fund because this program has major action plans that are tied to Council goals and strategies, and
Dougherty Valley and Northwest San Ramon Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts (GHAD) are independent governmental organizations which were formed for the purpose of preventing, mitigating, abating, and controlling geological hazards. The City Council members serve as the GHAD Board of Directors and the District is managed by City staff.

Debt Service Funds
This fund type accounts for the accumulation of resources and the payment of principal and interest on long-term debts, such as bonds. This section includes details about the current outstanding debt issuances, information on the legal debt margin and debt management policy, as well as consolidated �inancial summaries for these funds.
Capital Projects Fund Summary
Capital projects funds are used to account for resources used in the construction and acquisition of capital assets such as buildings, equipment, streets, and roads. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) document is prepared separately by the Public Works Department / Engineering Services Division. The CIP is adopted annually and includes a comprehensive �ive-year plan of capital investment projects, which identi�ies priorities as to need, method of �inancing, cost, and revenue that are anticipated during the �ive-year period.
The �irst year of the CIP is referred to as the Capital Budget. The operating budget includes the Capital Budget in order to present a comprehensive picture of all resource commitments of the City and to re�lect fund transfers between operating and capital funds. This section contains a �inancial summary for the fund in addition to a listing of projects planned for the current �iscal year.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds are used by governmental entities to account for activities that are similar to those of businesses in the private sector. These funds are typically �inanced through user fees and charges, rather than general revenues like taxes.
Internal Service Funds
Within this category, the City of San Ramon utilizes internal service funds as mechanisms to account for the provision of goods and services to other internal departments on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Department Budgets
The majority of the budget document presents information on departmental budgets. Each departmental section provides the following information:
Organization Chart / Budget Highlights – Each department section opens with an organization chart and a description of the major budget changes from the prior �iscal year. Also identi�ied are future budgetary needs.

SUBJECT: City Managers FY26 Budget Message
SUMMARY
The City of San Ramon has struggled with a structural de�icit for at least the last �ive �iscal years; a situation which culminated in a $17.6m budget shortfall projected for FY25. In response, the City asked the community to consider Measure N, a 1% transactions and use tax for a period of 10 years, that would allow the City to cover annual shortfalls while engaging a deliberate process to balance the budget for a sustainable future. In a display of trust, the community passed Measure N on November 5, 2024 with a passage rate of 56.21%.
The City is now entering a new �iscal era that will be marked by transparent and frequent communications around topics of �iscal sustainability. The FY26 budget continues to re�lect the structural de�icit, which indicates that the on-going cost to provide current services is outpacing the growth rate of the City’s ongoing revenues.
The adopted budget comprises all City funds and programs, including the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Dougherty Valley and Northwest San Ramon Geological Hazard Abatement Districts, Housing Successor Fund, and other special purpose funds. This budget document has been developed to serve as the City’s �inancial plan for program and service delivery over the next �iscal year, and includes departmental statements of purpose, service descriptions, major accomplishments, and future major action items. The FY26 �inancial plan described herein represents status quo operations and is intended to function as a baseline for the future work on �iscal stabilization.
The Dougherty Valley Geological Hazard Abatement District (DV GHAD) and Northwest San Ramon Geological Hazard Abatement District (NWSR GHAD) are shown separately in the back section of this document as these budgets are approved both by the City Council as part of the operating budget process and independently, by the authorizing Boards of these entities. Note that the same individuals comprise the City Council and the GHAD Boards. This budget document includes the Capital Budget, or �irst year of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and provides detailed information for the City Council to evaluate the entire City budget proposal for the �iscal year 2025/26.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 20
The FY26 Adopted Budget represents the activities of all City funds, including the DV GHAD, the NWSR GHAD, and the Capital Budget. Fiscal year 2025/26 revenues for all funds is estimated at $152.4m while projected expenditures total $148.5 million. The budget is comprised of a General Fund Budget of $71.9 million, a Special Revenue Fund Budget of $37.1 million, a Capital Budget of $13.4 million, a Debt Service Fund budget of $5.2 million, and an Internal Services Fund budget of $20.9 million. Included in the Special Revenue Fund Budget are the DV and NWSR GHAD budgets which totaled $1.0 million.
The �iscal year 2025-26 General Fund revenue budget totals $81.0m. When compared to the General Fund expenditure budget of $71.9m, the total results in a net increase to fund balance of $9.1m. When taking into consideration the net transfers out of $6.2m, the net increase to fund balance is reduced to $2.9m. In FY25, these same �igures are projected to yield a net decrease in fund balance of $1.2m. The signi�icant difference between the two years is the receipt of a projected $14.8m from Measure N in FY26.
The organization of the City’s budget can be most clearly understood by referring to pages 25 and 26.
BACKGROUND
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Nationally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the unemployment rate at 4.2% for April 2025, with the number of unemployed persons at 7.2 million. The National Association of Realtors recently reported that existing home sales decreased 5.9% from February 2025 to March 2025. Likewise, year over year sales showed a decrease of 2.4% compared to March 2024. Moreover, all four regions of the nation registered month-over-month and year-over-year declines for March.
Assessments of the State economy are mixed. According to Beacon Economics, “since February 2020 (the start of the pandemic), total nonfarm employment in California has grown 1.9% compared to a 4.7% increase nationally. In addition, the state increase payrolls by just 0.4% from April 2024 to April 2025, trailing the 1.2% increase nationally over the same period.” Additionally, the labor supply in California is growing slowly as well, which Beacon Economics attribute primarily to “the state’s chronic housing shortage and the retirement of aging workers.” On the other hand, California’s export trade value in March 2025 increased 7.7% compared to March 2024. This compares to an increase of 6.5% for U.S. export trade value changes over the same period. Although numbers were robust in March 2025, Beacon Economics’ advisors shared that the April 7 “Liberation Day” tariff announcements and retaliatory tariffs imposed by the nation’s trading partners would result in different outcomes for subsequent months.
The UCLA Anderson School of Management provides employment and real income forecasts for the state each year. In their most recent forecast, UCLA economists predict a total employment growth rate of 0.5% in 2025 and 1.2% in 2026. Over that same timeframe, UCLA Anderson forecasts real personal income to grow by 2.5% in 2025 and 2.4% in 2026. The summary forecast for California by UCLA Anderson is that “deportations will suppress job growth, and along with in�lation and tariffs, deportations will suppress efforts to meet the state’s signi�icant need for new housing.”

Packet Pg. 249 Attachment: Exhibit 1: FY2025-26 Proposed Budget [Revision 1] (2025-059 : FY25/26 Proposed Budget) City Manager Budget Message
Proposed Budget 2025-26 21
The state’s revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget from May 2025 showed a $12 billion de�icit resulting from economic and revenue forecast reductions due to the imposition of tariffs and increased expenditure growth above what was originally anticipated, especially for the Medi-Cal program. Governor Newsom plans to address the shortfall by reducing ongoing expenditure growth, while maintaining initiatives that improve the quality of life for California residents. More speci�ically, the de�icit will be addressed with $5b in expenditure reductions, $5.3b in revenue generation or borrowing, and $1.7b in funding shifts. The May Revision also includes the commitment of ongoing �inancial resources to two programs beginning in FY28 contingent upon suf�icient resources: the California Food Assistance Program and the Foster Care Program.
The local economy faces opportunities and challenges in the upcoming �iscal year. There continues to be uncertainty around tariffs and in�lation and even more so, on how they could impact consumer spending habits. Additionally, while many housing developments are proposed in the downtown core, �inancing challenges will impact the timing on breaking ground.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
The City’s adopted General Fund revenues for FY26 are $81.0m, of which $14.8m is Measure N. Without the inclusion of Measure N, the FY26 revenues would have been $66.2m or �lat compared to the FY25 Mid-Year Budget revenue estimates. Furthermore, with adopted expenditures of $71.9m and net transfers out of $6.2m, the City would have been facing a $12m budget de�icit.
Discussions of the City’s �inances will become a regular occurrence with the City Council and the community in the coming months and years. The City has established that while ongoing revenues are insuf�icient to cover ongoing expenditures, the City continues to operate with a de�icit. Since Measure N is in place for ten years only, Council is considering these funds as ten one-time allocations of funds that are enabling the City to cover operational de�icits as changes are made to establish budget stabilization.
To emphasize and facilitate long-range �inancial planning, each year City staff has historically prepared a �ive-year �inancial forecast for the General Fund and the Dougherty Valley CSA fund. The forecast includes a projection of revenues and expenditures for the current �iscal year and the succeeding �ive �iscal years. With the passage of Measure N and its 10-year duration, Council is now discussing the development of a corresponding 10-year long-range �inancial plan. As the City works through this complex effort of working toward �inancial sustainability, many of the City’s traditional processes and timelines are likely to evolve.

ALL FUNDS
Revenues
The FY26 Budget includes $152.4m in revenue, which along with reserve funds accumulated in prior years, provides suf�icient funding to �inance City services. The manner in which portions of City revenue may be spent is determined by law or other �iscal constraints. As shown on the following graph, 53% of City revenue is general purpose and used to support Police, Public Works, Recreation, Community Development and other general-purpose needs. The remaining 47% is revenue that is restricted for speci�ic purposes such as the Geologic Hazard Abatement District, capital projects, services in special assessment districts, housing programs, and internal services such as equipment replacement.
Expenditures
The $148.5m expenditure budget is $16.2m (12%) more than the FY25 Mid-Year Budget. This variance is primarily due to increases of $7.0m in the General Fund, $3.9m in the Capital Fund, $3.2m in the Internal Services Funds, and $2.2m in the Special Revenue Funds. The graph below shows how the expenditure budget is broken out among major fund groups.

GENERAL FUND
Revenues
The revenue available to �inance General Fund services consist primarily of taxes, service fees, and the surpluses from prior years. General Fund revenues of $81.0m are projected to be available to �inance the City’s operating fund budget in FY26. Any surplus revenue at the end of the �iscal year will be carried forward as fund reserves for future uses, highlighting the City’s commitment to prudent saving for a rainy day as a key strategy for �iscal sustainability. At $81.0m, the proportionate breakdown of each major revenue type is illustrated in the following chart:

Property taxes and sales tax account for about 48% of all General Fund revenue. Property tax is the City’s single largest revenue source at 32% of the General Fund and is projected at $26.3 million for FY26.
Assessed property valuation increased 2.99% during FY25. Actual assessed valuations will not be known until later this summer, but historical trends show that similar valuation increases are likely for the future since the City continues to be a highly desirable place to live due to its natural beauty, excellent schools, low crime rate, retail shopping, proximity to jobs, and its reputation for being well-managed.
Since Measure N became effective April 1, 2025, FY26 is the �irst full �iscal year that re�lects receipts of Measure N, the City’s transactions and use tax that was passed by voters in November 2024. This tax measure, which is projected at $14.8m for FY26, adds 1% of destination-based sales tax to the City’s eligible sales transactions for the period of 10 years. The City’s intention is to use these receipts to stabilize the budget de�icit while staff works with the City Council and community to evaluate current uses of City resources and funding processes, as well as consider opportunities for program revision, expenditure reduction, and revenue enhancement. This revenue category is now the second largest in the City’s budget.
In the short time since its passage, the City has witnessed the sensitivity of this revenue stream, which was projected at $15.7m in August 2023 and revised to $14.8m in February 2025. The reduction of $900k was the combined result of speci�ic factors in the local economy and future uncertainties around tariffs, in�lation, and consumer con�idence.

Traditional sales tax is the City’s third largest revenue source at 16% of the General Fund. Sales tax growth for FY26 is estimated to be �lat when compared to the $13.2 million estimated for the current �iscal year.
The City’s four largest sales tax categories account for over 68% of sales tax revenue: business and industry (22%), state and county pool (online sales, 20%), restaurants and hotels (13.1%), and fuel and service stations (13%). As referenced in the Economic Outlook section, there are many factors in the current economy that will be impacting consumer buying habits in the next �iscal year.
Expenditures
The City’s General Fund provides the basic services and operations of the City from police services to city management, land use planning, and parks. Total expenditures for the General Fund budget are $71.9m for FY26. This compares to a FY25 Mid-Year Budget of $64.9 million, or an increase of $7.0m. This change is attributable to the following factors:
in�lationary hikes in service contracts, employee wage and bene�it costs, and utility costs (average 8% increase, $5.5m),
the return of pension expenses that were paid out of the PARS Pension Stabilization 115 Trust in the previous year’s budget ($1.8m),
potential savings estimate (reduction of $2.2m),
funding needed positions ($1.1m), and
discretionary operational costs of $800k.

DOUGHERTY VALLEY
The Dougherty Valley Fund was created to track revenue and expenditures associated with the services provided in the County Service Area (CSA). Per existing agreements with Contra Costa County and the major developers in Dougherty Valley, the City is required to separately budget, and track expenditures, for the provision of services in the area covered in the agreements. As the City has completed annexation of available land in the Dougherty Valley area, future budget growth will be the result of increased property values and expenditures, rather than the addition of annexed territory.
The Dougherty Valley Fund re�lects expenses for police patrols, park maintenance, road maintenance, and landscaping services and are projected at $27.3m in FY26, which is $2.9m (12%) higher than the FY25 midyear budget. CSA revenues, however, have not kept up with the cost of providing services in the area.
Sources of funding for the CSA include assessment revenue and other �inancing sources, i.e. transfers in from the General Fund.
GENERAL RESERVES
In June 2020, the City Council amended the General Reserve Policy’s minimum target to 36% of estimated General Fund expenditures, including the annual General Fund transfer to the Dougherty Valley Fund. For the FY26 Adopted Budget, the Policy mandates $27.4m in General Reserves to satisfy the 36% contingency requirement. The fund balance for the General Fund at the end of FY25 is estimated to be $26.0m at the beginning of the FY26 budget year. Based on the projected General Fund revenues, expenditures, and transfers in and out, the FY26 year-end fund balance is estimated to be $32.4m, which is suf�icient to provide the 36% contingency reserve.

RETIREE HEALTH CARE FUNDING
Pursuant to City Council direction several years ago and ongoing directives, the City began setting aside funds to cover the future liability of providing health bene�its to employees who retire from the City.
Government accounting rules (GASB 75) require the City to report this liability in its annual �inancial statements. Certi�ied on October 7, 2024, the City had $34.0m set aside in a Trust to cover over 75.5% of the $45.0m liability per the City’s most recent actuarial report for disclosures for FY24. As of March 2025, the City has $36.6m set aside in the Trust. The next updated actuarial valuation is due September 30, 2025.
Compared to the last three �iscal years, the FY26 budget does not include a draw-down of funds from the Trust to cover the out-of-pocket costs for retiree health care.
In addition to the City’s liability for retiree health coverage, the City also shares a portion of the Dougherty Valley Regional Fire Authority (DRFA) retiree health coverage. The City’s share of this coverage is 60.92% of the future premiums, amounting to approximately $0.5m this budget year. This bene�it pool is now closed, meaning that over time pool liability will naturally decrease.
PENSION FUNDING
CalPERS actuarial reports have changed signi�icantly in recent years with the CalPERS Board lowering the discount rate, changing demographic assumptions, and implementing other changes, all of which have caused the normal cost and the unfunded accrued liability (UAL) to increase. However, as of the most recent actuarial report dated June 30, 2023, the City’s UAL was $49.5 million, with all plans being 84% to 89% funded.
The City has taken several steps to reduce pension cost liability. In 2012, the City created a lower tiered bene�it for classic employees hired after July 1, 2012. On January 1, 2013, the City implemented the CalPERS PEPRA tier as required by law, further reducing pension obligations. In 2017, the City set up an irrevocable Section 115 Trust to pre-fund pension obligations (as of March 2025, the City had $1.9m set-aside in the Trust). As of June 30, 2018, all employees are paying the full employee portion of the pension cost. In July 2018, following labor group negotiations, City employees agreed to contribute an additional 1% toward the employer rate, thus funding an ongoing total of 3% of the City’s employer rate. The only exception to this is the Safety PEPRA plan, due to the high required employee rate. In November 2021, the City issued Pension Obligation Bonds in the amount of $23.3m to fund the CalPERS UAL expense as described above.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND
Approximately $1.4m of beginning fund balance and $1.5m in department charges for equipment replacement are available to meet potential funding needs of $1.7m. The continued funding of the equipment replacement fund ensures the availability of funds to replace vehicles and equipment that have reached the end of their useful life, thus creating �iscal stability year to year without signi�icantly impacting the General Fund in any one �iscal year.

INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE FUND
With the economic downturn resulting from the Great Recession of 2008, some City facilities and infrastructure suffered from deferred maintenance. In order to address this maintenance necessity, create ef�iciencies, and meet new capital needs, an infrastructure maintenance fund was established several years ago.
The Infrastructure Maintenance Fund is a reserve whereby funds are set aside for future, identi�ied repair costs of City-owned buildings such as City Hall, the Police Station, libraries, community centers, service centers, aquatics centers, and other infrastructure-related projects. The FY26 budget includes the use of $0.8m for maintenance projects. The Public Works Department has developed a multi-year infrastructure maintenance schedule that estimates a multi-million dollar need for funding in future years. An ongoing priority will be to continue to identify additional funding sources for this purpose.
STAFFING LEVELS
This budget re�lects staf�ing resources available to perform City services for FY26 at 279.75 full-time equivalents. The City removed a net of 8 vacant and unfunded positions, compared to the full-time equivalents staff number at the FY25 Mid-Year Budget. The City continues to maintain a lean staf�ing model while delivering a high level of service to the community. External forces from the highly competitive labor market continue to put pressure on attracting and retaining the quality staff who deliver services to the community.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a separate document from this one and is comprised of a Capital Budget for Year 1 and planning budgets for Years 2-5. Funding for the Capital Budget is included in this document with the operating budget and is included in the resolution adopted by Council. The FY26 Capital Budget included in this document projects a total cost of $12.9m. Some of the major projects undertaken this �iscal year include:
Crow Canyon Gardens Facilities Improvement,
Pavement Management Projects, and
Police Portable Radio Replacement.
The City continues to experience in�lationary pressures on the cost of maintaining its facilities and infrastructure. In the past, the City has elected to defer maintenance as a tool to balance the structural budget shortfall. The challenge for the City going forward will be to maintain services while funding critical infrastructure repairs and maintenance as costs continue to rise and addressing the consequences of the past decisions to defer maintenance.

FUTURE OUTLOOK
The National Economy
In March 2025, the UCLA Anderson Forecast stated that there are no signs of an imminent recession and much to look forward to on the economic horizon with developments in Arti�icail Intelligence, smart deregulation, and public and private investments in infrastructure and technology. However, they caution that a full or nearly full enactment of the Trump Administration’s economic initiatives is likely to trigger a downturn that would appear in the next year or two. The reasoning provided by UCLA Anderson Forecast’s economists is that the desired policies are likely to cause signi�icant contractions simultaneously in different sectors of the economy thereby triggering a recession. They propose the following are the primary areas of concern:
Manufacturing sector- effects of tariff policy and ensuing trade wars Public sector- reductions in contracts and grant recipients Construction sector- effects of mass deportations amid an existing labor shortage Other impacts considered by UCLA Anderson Forecast are 1) the effects of uncertainty around these policies on business investment and hiring, as well as on personal spending due to job insecurity, 2) the recent irrationality of the �inancial sector, and 3) concerns around the U.S. debt level.
The biggest impacts to California’s economy are expected to come from immigration and be oppositional in effect; a withdrawal of millions of undocumented workers and H1B visa issued to workers in the tech industry. California’s housing challenge is likely to become more dif�icult with the deportations decreasing the construction workforce, the cost of construction loans likely to increase, and the impact of tariffs on construction materials. The California GDP is forecasted to grow at the same rate as the U.S. in 2025 and 2026, and slightly faster in 2027.
Long-Range Financial Planning
The City uses multiple tools to forecast future impacts to the City’s �inancial situation, primarily a �ive-year �inancial forecast presented annually to the City Council. As mentioned under the Financial Planning section earlier in this message, Council is considering the merits of a 10-year long-range �inancial plan to align with the timeline of Measure N.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 30
Whether 10-years or 5-years, the long-range �inancial plan takes into account considerations such a population growth and resulting demand for departmental services, potential for economic decline, historical trends for major revenue and expenditure categories, legislative trends that may impact the City, and schedules of identi�ied �inancial needs for capital maintenance and replacement. Consideration of these factors and others allows the City to plan for multiple contingencies, and with robust General Fund reserves, can enable a stable and smooth transition to more sustainable service levels.
For the last several years, the City has experienced a structural de�icit and continues to face the challenge of closing the budget gap. Many ongoing and one-time decisions have been made to mitigate rising costs and improve revenues. One such effort was the City’s contract with a consultant to explore the possibility of passing a sales tax measure to increase revenue. Additionally, the City contracted with HdL Companies for ongoing Business License, Transient Occupancy Tax, and Short-Term Rental compliance management services to capture lost revenue. As mentioned previously, the City has taken action to help reduce pension costs through pension obligation bonds and employee cost-sharing. The City recognizes that more must be done to sustain the high levels of service traditionally delivered to the community.
The City continues to operate with a budget de�icit that is balanced only with the FY26 one-time revenues from Measure N. The City Council continues to direct staff to explore opportunities to increase City revenues and ensure spending ef�iciency to minimize service reductions to the community.
General initiatives currently underway are the following:
Continue to promote new housing construction since property tax is the City’s largest revenue source and housing is in such demand in the Bay Area
Actively work to build a stronger local economy adding to San Ramon’s retail base and boosting sales tax, the City’s second largest revenue source
Explore methods for acknowledging historical budget surpluses and budget closer to actual The City is very cautious in how it spends its tax dollars and prides itself on running a high-service level organization utilizing a lean staf�ing model, including the use of temporary and limited-duration employees for seasonal or periodic work and the use of competitively-bid contracts for routine maintenance of much of the City landscape. The City will continue to explore ways of reducing the cost of labor, which is its largest expenditure.
After the FY26 budget is adopted, staff will work directly with City Council to outline a plan of discussions to be held at public meetings with the community. Topics are likely to cover department operations, revenues / taxes, capital replacement / maintenance, and reserves.

The City reviews and prepares its operating budget and capital improvements program on an annual basis.
There are three major types of expenditures in the City’s spending plan: operating, capital, and debt service.
Operating expenditures are related to a program’s base budget and include items such as salary and bene�its costs, materials and supplies, contractual services, and vehicles and equipment costs. Operating expenditures are ongoing by nature. Capital expenditures are larger, project-related expenditures that affect the economic vitality and quality of life in the community. An example would be the construction of a street overpass, resurfacing a city street, or a park. Capital expenditures occur every year, but the speci�ic projects

and �inancial resources needed change from year to year. Debt service is similar to a long-term loan.
Funding received from debt issuance is used for high-cost items that require signi�icant funding at a single time. The debt will be repaid in the future based on debt schedules that are relatively consistent from one year to the next.
Basis of Budgeting
“Basis of budgeting” refers to the method used to recognize revenues and expenditures in the budget. The City of San Ramon’s basis of budgeting is the same basis used for accounting.
The modi�ied accrual basis is followed for all Governmental Funds. Under this basis, revenues are recognized when they become “susceptible to accrual,” which means they are both measurable and available. Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be determined. The City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 365 days of the end of the current �iscal year. Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred, all other eligibility requirements have been met, and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period.
Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred, except for debt service expenditures, which are recorded when payment is due.
The full accrual basis is used for all Proprietary Funds, which includes the City’s Internal Service Funds.
Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when the related liabilities are incurred.
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is prepared according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). It is presented to the City Council each January at the conclusion of an audit of the City’s �inancial transactions and development of the report by an external audit �irm. The City prepares its budget in accordance with GAAP with certain exceptions, for example:
Loans requiring the use of current resources are budgeted as expenditures; while in the ACFR, the disbursement of loans is presented as a balance sheet item. Capital outlay in the internal service funds is capitalized and reported as capital assets in the ACFR; whereas they are accounted for as expenses in the budget. Appropriated budgets are not required for all of the City’s funds. For example, the City does not budget for programs tracked in the Fiduciary Funds category. These are resources held in an agency/trust capacity.
The City does not budget for depreciation expenses, employee vacation leave or sick leave accruals, while the ACFR presents those as long-term liabilities. GAAP requires the reporting of investments at fair market value at the end of the �iscal year. The City’s policy is to hold investments to maturity, and the changes in fair market value are not a budget item for favorable or unfavorable outcomes.

Budgetary Principles
The budget is the City Council’s primary decision and policy-making tool. Budget information should be understandable to the public despite the complexities of accounting and legal requirements.
Labor costs must re�lect productive labor costs and all associated fringe bene�its from existing contracts, as well as management forecasts for future compensation for those individuals. Projected expenses should re�lect changes in operations, market conditions, and forecast rate changes, not just a cost-of-living escalator.
The difference between one-time, or non-recurring costs, and ongoing, and recurring costs, should be acknowledged.
Projected revenue should re�lect those expected to be generated from existing businesses, and from plans for expansion under existing laws, not desired changes. Reserves should be maintained at appropriate levels in conformance with policy.
Using these principles, the City endeavors to present a realistic projection of both revenues and expenses that offers a reasonable picture of the coming �iscal year and future years regardless of whether a de�icit or surplus is forecasted.
Neither optimistic assumptions as to new grants nor pessimistic forecasts of new revenue losses are re�lected. Forecast expenditures only identify authorized service expansions and consensus growth assumptions.
Through the budget, the City aspires to provide a tool to measure the performance of City departments against their best plans and the various funds against the policies and direction provided by the City Council.
Budget Policy & Control
The City operates on a July 1 through June 30 �iscal year (budget year basis). The budget preparation schedule, shown in a separate section below, re�lects the interactions between the public, City Council, and City’s management and employees in planning and presenting the proposed budget for City Council review and approval.
The City Council is provided a 5-Year General Fund �inancial forecast at the City Council’s annual retreat, prior to presenting the proposed budget at budget workshops for Council review and adoption. The 5-Year General Fund �inancial forecast is a planning tool that helps the City Council and staff identify important trends and anticipate the longer-term consequences of budget decisions. The forecast tools have been instrumental in modeling the effects of such recent budget issues as rising retirement system costs, the

short- and long-term consequences of issuing variable rate debt, and potential scenarios for future revenue performance.
After the annual budget is adopted, the City follows established procedures and all related �inancial policies in spending and monitoring expenditures. These procedures involve the City’s management, employees, boards and commissions, and the City Council throughout the year. The City’s management team and staff also prepare a Mid-Year Budget Review in January. This process entails a comprehensive review of all actual revenues and expenditures during the �irst 6 months (July – December) and the projection of revenues and expenditures for the remaining 6 months of the year (January – June). Any signi�icant modi�ications to the adopted budget are presented to the City Council for review and approval in February. Modi�ications to the adopted budget may also be made during the �iscal year as needed for items such as a legislative mandate or as a grant requirement. These proposed modi�ications are also presented to the City Council for review and approval. The Finance Department coordinates these efforts with all City departments. They are responsible for ensuring proper authorization is received and accurate budgeting entries are recorded into the City’s �inancial system.
The City’s budget is detailed to ensure the City Council, as the governing body, is fully informed and in control of all aspects of the City’s �inancial activities. Information is itemized by funds, department, division, program, and project where applicable. The budget includes personnel, materials, supplies, contractual services, equipment, debt service, as well as capital costs, such as infrastructure and equipment replacement, for the ensuing budget year.
Citizen Participation
Citizens have an opportunity to participate in the budget process by attending a series of City Council budget workshops. Citizens may also attend Council meetings, which are scheduled on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month throughout the year. At the Council workshops and meetings, citizens may submit requests to the City Clerk to make public comment on matters not on the agenda or during public comment on the item. All City Council meetings are publicly noticed in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2(a). The meeting for adoption of the �iscal year �inal budget is usually held in late May or early June.
Budget Calendar
The City’s annual budget development process begins in the latter half of February after the conclusion of the mid-year budget review and ends with the adoption of the budget by the City Council in late May or early June. The City Council speci�ically reviews and updates the City Council Priorities and Goals each year at their retreat usually held in February. These discussions include addressing important �iscal issues in the upcoming budget year which may have short or long-term effects on how the City provides and maintains services to its citizens and customers. To inform these discussions, usually the 5-Year General Fund Financial Forecast and the projected ending reserves are shared with the Council at this meeting.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 47
The actual timeline may change as necessary as additional City Council budget workshops may be added prior to budget adoption. The budget represents the maximum authorized expenditure for the year and cannot legally be exceeded except by subsequent amendments of the budget by the City Council. These adjustments can be requested in February during the Mid-Year budget review cycle or be requested via a standalone staff report to the City Council as needed during the Fiscal Year.
Budget Revenues
Revenues to the City allows it to pay for the many services provided to its citizens:
Property Tax – Property taxes are imposed on real and tangible personal property located within the City. Property valuation is determined annually on March 1 by the County Assessor. The State Constitution limits the real property tax rate to one percent (1%) of the property’s value, plus rates imposed to fund indebtedness that are approved by the voters.
Cities, counties, school districts and special districts share the revenue from the one percent (1%) property tax. The county generally allocates revenue to these agencies based on their average property tax revenue in the three (3) years preceding and, in each year, thereafter according to the proportion of property tax revenue allocated to each agency in the previous year. The use of property tax revenue is unrestricted.
Where do my property tax dollars go?
*Average amount; actual varies by tax rate area
Special Assessments – Several districts are funded through the collection of special assessments from property owners within a speci�ically de�ined area of the City. These funds can only be used for the purpose of maintaining or improving the zone from which they are collected.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 48
Sales and Use Tax – The sales and use tax is imposed on retailers for the privilege of selling, or on users in California of property purchased from outside the State. The tax is based on the sales price of any eligible transaction of tangible personal property. The tax rate is eight and three quarters percent (8.75%). Local sales tax revenue is distributed on a quarterly basis, with monthly estimated “advance” payments and a subsequent “settlement” payment to cover the difference based on actual collections. One percent (1%) is allocated by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) and allocated back to the City for general purposes. This revenue is placed in the General Fund for unrestricted use.
Transactions and Use Tax – In November 2024, San Ramon residents approved a transaction and use tax in the amount of 1% that is scheduled to last for 10 years starting April 1, 2025. Different from sales and use tax, transactions and use tax is destination based and is applicable to the location where the purchased good will be used. As an example, a car purchased by a San Ramon resident in another jurisdiction would be subject to the transactions and use tax if the car were also to be registered in San Ramon.
Property Transfer Tax – This is a documentary transfer tax imposed on real estate transactions and collected for the City by the County. The tax is $1.10 per $1,000 transaction value. Transient Occupancy Tax – The transient occupancy tax (TOT) is imposed for the privilege of occupying a room or rooms in a hotel, motel, or other lodging facility unless such occupancy is for a period of thirty (30) days or more. The City’s TOT rate is seven and one-quarter percent (7.25%). Franchise Fees – A franchise fee is imposed on various utilities and organizations, which permits them to use and operate right-of-way facilities within the City. The fee is usually computed as a percentage of the gross income of the utility. This revenue source is typically impacted by the addition of new customers as well as changes in rates the utility is allowed to charge. License and Permit Revenue – The California Constitution gives cities the authority to charge license and permit fees as a means of recovering the cost of the regulation. The fees which make up “Licenses and Permits” include:
o Building Permits
o Plumbing Permits
o Electrical Permits
o Energy Permits
o Mechanical permits
o Business Licenses
Intergovernmental – Revenue from Federal, State, regional and local agencies for grants. Charges for Services – A fee imposed upon the user of a service that is provided by the City.
Generally, a service charge can be levied when the service can be measured and sold to a particular identi�ied user. The rationale is that certain services are primarily for the bene�it of individuals rather than the general public. Individuals desiring, or bene�iting from, the service should pay the costs associated with that service. Fees charged are limited to the cost required to provide the service as prescribed by Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. These fees are often determined by cities through a cost accounting analysis of the speci�ic service, usually referred to as a cost

allocation plan and/or a user fee study. Service charges differ from license and permit fees in that the latter are designed to reimburse the City for costs related to the regulatory process. Service charges, on the other hand, are imposed to support services to the individual. Fines and Forfeitures – These are funds received from the County and collected from assessments made by the Municipal Court, in accordance with the Vehicle Code for �ines and forfeitures. Investment Income – Investment income is earned as the City invests its idle funds in various investment instruments and is usually received in the form of interest or dividends. The City’s investment goals are outlined in the Investment Policy located in the Resource Materials section of this document. Primarily, the goal of the City’s investments is to ensure the safety of each investment and maintain liquidity while achieving a fair rate of return. Development Fees – Fees generated by building, development, and growth in a community. Miscellaneous Revenue – Fees generated from facility rentals, telecommunications, contributions, reimbursed costs, and internal services charges (healthcare, retiree healthcare, vehicle and information system equipment).
Transfers In – Accounts for the internal transfers received from another fund.
Budget Expenditures
Expenditures are usually classi�ied and grouped as follows:
Salaries – Includes employee wages, City Council and Commissioner monthly stipends, and overtime costs.
Bene�its – Includes employee health bene�its, pension retirement bene�its, and other fringe bene�its as called for by employment agreements.
Department Internal Charges – Includes charges to the department to fund and pay for various insurance premiums (workers' compensation and liability insurance), pension obligation bond debt (POB), and Other Post-Employment Bene�its (OPEB) other than pension bene�its. Materials & Supplies – These includes various supplies such as of�ice supplies, meeting supplies, program supplies, materials and supplies for maintenance, etc. Contract Services – These are contractual costs charged by an outside contractor or consultant for services provided to the City.
Capital Outlay – These costs capture the purchases of vehicles and equipment, building improvements, land, and other infrastructure.
Debt Service – Includes payments for principal and interest on an outstanding debt issuance, and the related debt administration fees.
Transfers Out – Accounts for the internal transfers out to another fund.

The schedules consolidate all funds citywide and present the total available resources and total use of resources, including projected beginning fund balances, revenues, expenditures, transfers in, transfers out, and projected ending fund balance. This consolidation is achieved by eliminating all transfers between funds that are within the same fund category and all internal service fund charge transfers. Such eliminations are similar to those made to produce the City’s government-wide �inancial statements, as mandated by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34. These eliminations avoid the double-counting that would otherwise occur if these adopted transactions were shown as either additional transfers or as additional revenues and expenditures. Therefore, the “Total Revenues” and “Total Expenditures” lines for all funds present the true budgeted revenues and expenditures expected to be received and spent by the entire organization. Please refer to the Governmental Funds and Proprietary Funds of this document for more information.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 78
Governmental Funds
This category of funds is used to track and manage the day-to-day activities of the City, which are primarily funded by taxes, grants, and similar revenue sources. Types of funds within this category are the General Fund, special revenue funds, capital project funds, and debt service funds.
General Fund
Fund Description
The General Fund is the most versatile of all the City’s funds because it has no speci�ic legal restrictions as to its use. It is the City’s main operating fund. General Fund revenue includes property taxes, transactions and use tax, sales and use taxes, transient occupancy taxes, franchise fees, licenses and permits, intergovernmental receipts, charges for services, investment income, and various miscellaneous revenues.
The General Fund revenue is primarily used to support public safety, parks, and other administrative services.
Budget Assumptions for General Revenues
This section provides descriptive and projection information for the following major General Fund revenue categories that together make up 83% of General Fund revenues:
Property Taxes
Transactions and Use Tax
Sales and Use Taxes
Charges for Services
Franchise Fees
Property Taxes
Description: Property tax is an ad valorem tax based on property value imposed on secured real property such as land and permanently attached improvements such as buildings and unsecured (movable) property.
Proposition 13, adopted by California voters on June 6, 1978, provided a comprehensive system for the assessment and limitation on growth of real property taxes. Property owners pay the tax based on their real property’s adjusted assessed value. Proposition 13 also set the FY 1975/76 assessed values as the base year from which future annual in�lationary assessed value increases would grow; however, growth is limited to 2% for any given year. The County Assessor is responsible for the reappraisal of each real property parcel when there are purchases, construction, or other statutorily de�ined improvements such as a change in ownership.

Packet Pg. 307 Attachment: Exhibit 1: FY2025-26 Proposed Budget [Revision 1] (2025-059 : FY25/26 Proposed Budget) Governmental Funds – General Fund
Proposed Budget 2025-26 79
Projection: The most signi�icant property tax revenue indicator is the change in assessed property values, and the primary in�luences on that are the annual in�lation adjustment provided by Proposition 13, ownership change, and new construction. San Ramon’s assessed valuation increase, per the County Assessor, for FY25 was 2.99% compared to 4.08% the year before. Property tax for FY26 is projected as �lat compared to FY25 because year-to-date receipts for FY25 show the City likely to receive $25.9m versus the $26.3m budgeted. Property taxes are the City’s single largest revenue source; comprising 32% of the total FY26 projected revenues, or $26.3m.
Transactions and Use Taxes
Description: Transactions and use tax is a destination-based tax on the sale of goods and is applicable to the location where the purchased good will be used. As an example, a car purchased by a San Ramon resident in another jurisdiction would be subject to the transactions and use tax if the car were also to be registered in San Ramon. In November 2024, San Ramon residents passed Measure N, 1% transactions and use tax that is scheduled to last for 10 years.
Projection: Measure N became effective April 1, 2025, and as such, there is not a year’s worth of history upon which to develop a projection. The City has relied upon the insights of a sales tax consultant, HdL Companies, and used their estimate of $14.8m for FY26. This projection makes transactions and use tax the City’s second-largest projected revenue source for FY26; comprising 18% of the total FY26 General Fund revenues, or $14.8m.

Sales and Use Taxes
Description: Sales tax is imposed on retailers for the privilege of selling tangible personal property, while use tax is imposed on the purchaser of tangible property where the retailer has no nexus in California. Sales and use taxes are collected by the State, which then allocates back to the City its share, which is 1% of the base rate of 8.75%. The remaining 7.75% of the sales tax rate goes to the State, county, and other public agencies.
Projection: City staff worked with HdL Companies, the City’s consultant, in projecting this revenue source.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses and the shift in consumer spending from brick-andmortar locations to online purchases are re�lected in the historical trends shown in the chart below. This revenue source can be very volatile, depending on both the national and local economies, as well as on employment factors. In FY26, the projection is �lat as there are signi�icant uncertainties in the economy, such as tariffs and deportations, that could impact consumer spending. Sales and use taxes (collectively named Sales Taxes in the budget document) are the City’s third-largest revenue source; comprising 16% of the total FY26 General Fund revenues, or $13.2m.

Charges for Services
Description: Charges for Services are fees imposed upon the user of a service provided by the City’s departments such as fees from the Parks & Community Services department for youth sports, aquatics, or other recreational classes or fees from the Community Development Department for plan checking and inspection services. Generally, a service charge can be levied when the service can be measured and sold to a particular identi�ied user. The rationale is that certain services are primarily for the bene�it of individuals rather than the general public. Individuals desiring or bene�iting from the service should pay the costs associated with that service. Fees charged are limited to the cost required to provide the service as prescribed by Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. Service charges are imposed to support services to the individual.
Projection: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many programs and services were not available to citizens due to mandated closures per the State and County of Contra Health Orders addressing the COVID-19 pandemic during FY20 and FY21. Each operating department is responsible for projecting this revenue source. The FY26 projection shows an increase of 3% from the prior year based on regular updates of the master fee schedule. The proposed budget for FY26 totals $7m; comprising 9% of the General Fund budgeted revenues.

Franchise Fees
Description: State law provides cities with the authority to grant franchises to privately-owned utilities and other companies for their use of the public right-of-way. The City receives franchise fees from the electric and gas utility, the solid waste collection company, local cable companies, and certain other entities for the privilege of using the public right-of-way within the City. The majority of franchise fees are calculated as a percentage of the respective franchisee’s gross revenues, subject to speci�ied statutory adjustments, earned from services delivered or performed by the franchisee within the City. In contrast, the solid waste collection franchise fees are negotiated between the City and the refuse collector.
Projection: The FY25 estimate showed a slight decrease of 2% from the prior year, with a 5% increase projected for FY26. Cable franchise revenues are especially tenuous going forward as more consumers transition to online platforms for content, however, year to date revenues do not re�lect these declines yet.
The projected FY26 franchise fees revenue of $6.20m represents 8% of General Fund revenues. $4.8 $5.0

Special Revenue Funds
Fund Description
Special revenue funds account for the proceeds of speci�ic revenue resources that are legally restricted or earmarked for a speci�ic function, activity, or program. Some examples are: grants received for street and road construction and maintenance, grants for police services, lighting and landscaping for a special district, transportation taxes, or funding from the federal government per the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Special Revenue Funds – Operating and Non-Operating
The City of San Ramon makes a distinction within its special revenue funds of operating versus nonoperating:
Special Revenue Funds – Operating are funds that track the budgets of programs that have restricted funding sources and uses, but that are ongoing by nature and part of the basic operations of the City.
Funding for the expenditures in these funds typically comes from special fees or assessments collected annually to pay for a speci�ic program of service.
Special Revenue Funds – Non-Operating are funds that track the budgets for revenue received, which by law or administrative action, is restricted and designed to �inance projects and activities in the City’s Capital Improvement Program. The revenues and expenditures on these funds may or may not recur each year and thus tend to be one-time by nature.
Greater detail is provided on each of these funds above the �inancial summaries in the subsequent pages.

Fund #201 Planning Costs Recovery
Funded through several building permit surcharges that are typically intended to support the cost of local planning efforts and the implementation of the General Plan. The basic premise behind the surcharges is that revenues and expenses are directed at a separate, dedicated, self-sustaining fund. The fees collected are tied to the cost of regular updates to the General Plan, Speci�ic Plans, and related policy documents intended to implement the General Plan. The basis for the General Plan surcharge is a percentage of building permit valuation on new construction, while the Speci�ic Plan fees are tied to the size and scope of commercial or residential development within the planning area. The use of these funds is subject to budget requests and project speci�ic appropriations

Proposed Budget 2025-26 120
Statement of Purpose:
The purpose of the GHAD is to provide a funding mechanism to prevent, mitigate, abate, or control a geologic hazard; and to mitigate or abate structural hazards that are partly or wholly caused by geologic hazards. The geologic hazards addressed by the GHAD’s Plan of Control include actual or threatened landslides, land subsidence, soil erosion, expansive soils and earthquakes.
Background:
The Dougherty Valley GHAD (DV GHAD) was formed in 1990, pursuant to the Public Resource Code of the State of California, Section 26500, and included the West Branch area. The DV GHAD Board subsequently annexed Gale Ranch and Windermere developments into the GHAD in 1997 and, in 2007 and 2008, respectively, the Board voted to annex the Old Ranch Summit development, and Silva Property. The Northwest San Ramon GHAD (NWSR GHAD) was formed in 2017 to provide services to The Preserve (Faria) Project. The City Council serves as the Board of Directors for both GHADs.
Initially, Shapell Industries, developers of the West Branch project, performed the DV GHAD maintenance activities. The DV GHAD assessments began in FY 1995/96 with the adoption of an assessment of $100 per residential unit and $0.032 per non-residential square foot and established an assessment limit of $250 per residential unit per year and $0.10 per non-residential square foot per year. The DV GHAD assessments have been periodically increased, and the proposed FY 2025-26 assessments will be $181.69 per residential unit and $0.058 per square foot for non-residential buildings, based on the most recent Reserve Fund Study.
The DV GHAD obtains minor income from access leases, inspection fees, and an agricultural grazing lease.
The NWSR GHAD has begun taking ownership and maintenance responsibilities. The assessment will be at $1,626.03 per assessment unit with individual residences being charged between 0.4 and 1.0 assessment units, depending on type, and $0.1139 per square foot for non-residential buildings.
Budget Highlights for FY 2025-26:
The DV GHAD experienced increased expenses in FY 2023-24 due to extremely heavy rain events and a protracted heavy rainy season. Expenses in FY 2025-26 are expected to be closer to the average. The �inal acceptance for land from the development is expected in FY 2025-26. The projected reserve balance for the DV GHAD at the end of FY 2025-26 is $17,364,811.
The NWSR GHAD anticipates continuing to take ownership and maintenance responsibilities in FY 2025-26.
No improvements will be turned over that are not in good condition; therefore, maintenance costs are expected to be modest. The largest expenses for FY 2025-26 is anticipated to be for the ground squirrel management program for the newly accepted Parcels D and E. Budgets will be adjusted in following years as acceptances are made. The projected reserve balance for the NWSR GHAD at the end of FY 2025-26 is $1,839,270.

Debt Service Funds
Fund Description
These funds account for the accumulation of resources for the payment of principal and interest on the City’s long-term debt obligations. The City will consider the issuance of long-term debt obligations only under the conditions outlined in the Debt Management Policy, which is included in the Policies and Glossary section of this document.
The City has four debt service funds:
Pension Obligation Bonds (2010) Debt Service Fund - This fund is used to budget debt service payments related to the 2010 Taxable Pension Obligation Bonds (POB) that were issued to prepay the unfunded CalPERS pension obligation. This obligation will mature in FY39. Pension Obligation Bonds (2021) Debt Service Fund - This fund is used to budget debt service payments related to the 2021 Taxable Pension Obligation Bonds (POB) that were issued to prepay the unfunded CalPERS pension obligation. This obligation will mature in FY36. COP #13 Debt Service Fund - This fund is used to budget debt service payments related to the 2019 Certi�icates of Participation that were issued to acquire, construct, and improve multiple capital improvement projects. Some of these projects included bicycle network improvements and enhancements, City Hall recon�iguration, citywide drainage and infrastructure improvements, installation of street cameras, trees and landscaping improvements, intelligent transportation system upgrades, San Ramon Community Center renovations, San Ramon Olympic Pool improvements, bicycle pedestrian overcrossing improvements, streets widening, paving, and other street improvements. This obligation will mature in FY39. LED Lights Debt Service Fund - This fund is used to budget debt service payments related to the LED Lights conversion (CIP 5499). This obligation matured in FY25.
The following charts and schedules summarize the City’s outstanding debt balances, the debt service budgeted for FY26, and the future annual debt service requirements.

Legal Debt Margin
The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation; however, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value, which is why there is a converted assessed value in the table below. With $20,610,747 of outstanding debt subject to the legal debt limit and a legal debt limit of $1,059,348,597, the City is not at risk of exceeding this limit.
Debt Management Policy
The City’s Debt Management Policy, adopted by the City Council on November 24, 2020, requires that debt service generally should not exceed 10% of the General Fund and Dougherty Valley Fund operating revenues; and in no case should they exceed 15% of these same amounts. Further, the policy states that direct debt will not exceed 2% of assessed valuation; and no more than 60% of capital improvement outlays will be funded from long-term �inancings. With the cost of FY26 debt service at $5,223,926, the City is not projected to exceed its debt service limit.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 132
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
This section of the budget contains a summary version of the 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (5-Year CIP). The 5-Year CIP document is prepared separately by the Public Works Department / Engineering Services Division. It is a comprehensive �ive-year plan that identi�ies needed capital projects in order to coordinate the �inancing and timing of improvements in a manner that maximizes the return on investment to the public. The 5-Year CIP is a guide for identifying current and future �iscal year requirements and becomes the basis for determining the annual Capital Budget.
The �irst year of the 5-Year CIP is referred to as the Capital Budget. The Capital Budget is incorporated into the annual budget and appropriates funds for speci�ic improvements. Projects slated for subsequent years in the program are approved on a planning basis and do not receive ultimate expenditure authority until they are eventually incorporated into a Capital Budget. Each year when the CIP is reviewed, the program moves forward one year and the previous second year of the CIP, as modi�ied after review, becomes the new Capital Budget.
Speci�ic project details can be found within the CIP document. The CIP document can be obtained by visiting the City’s website www.sanramon.ca.gov/. Questions can be directed to the Public Works Director www.sanramon.ca.gov/our_city/departments_and_divisions/public_works.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 140
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds are used by governmental entities to account for activities that are similar to those of businesses in the private sector. These funds are typically �inanced through user fees and charges, rather than general revenues like taxes.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the �inancing of goods and services provided by one City department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City, or to other governmental units on a cost- reimbursement basis (sometimes including depreciation). Below is a summary of the City’s internal service funds:
Investment Fund- Used to account for the management of investments. Equipment Replacement Fund- Used to account for the replacement of major equipment and vehicles. Revenues are derived from usage-based charges allocated to departments in the General Fund and the Dougherty Valley CSA Fund.
Information System Replacement Fund- Used to account for the replacement of computer-related equipment and renewal of citywide software licenses. Revenues are derived from usage-based charges allocated to departments in the General Fund and the Dougherty Valley CSA Fund. Insurance Liability Fund- Used to administer employee leave payouts, retiree medical bene�its, general insurance, and safety programs with the goals of reducing insurance-related costs, maintaining appropriate levels of coverage, and building contingent loss reserves. Healthcare Fund- Used to account for employees’ healthcare premiums and claims. Infrastructure Maintenance Fund- Used to account for the cost of maintaining City buildings and infrastructure.

Department Budget Highlights for FY 2025-26
Department Revenues - $2,725 (decrease of $207,775 or 98.71% compared to the FY 24/25 Revised Budget)
Major Change: City Administration transferred Street Smarts programming back to the Public Works Transportation Division in FY25. The result is net neutral to overall program revenues but will re�lect a change to departmental operating budgets. City Administration also discontinued passport services in FY25, expects no change to appeal or subpoena service fees, but did reduce photocopy service revenue by $25 to re�lect patron usage of the service.

Packet Pg. 376 Attachment: Exhibit 1: FY2025-26 Proposed Budget [Revision 1] (2025-059 : FY25/26 Proposed Budget) Department Budgets – City Administration
Proposed Budget 2025-26 148
Department Expenditures - $9,674,173 (increase of $788,521 or 8.87% compared to the FY 24/25 Revised Budget)
Major Changes: City Administration reorganized the department to include Human Resources and Information Technology in FY25, which transferred all operational budget from the former Administrative Services Department. This left a standalone Finance Department for the �irst time in the City’s history. The department will take another step forward in FY26 by creating a standalone Human Resources Department, thereby transferring all related operational funding to that department should Council approve the proposed FY26 budget as presented. Moreover, the City Council prioritized expanding external and internal communications, which translates into a new full-time equivalent Program Manager who will be responsible for managing communications across departments in a traditional “hub-and-spoke” structure. Other signi�icant expenditure increases align with reinstating pension obligation expenses to each department, thus increasing staf�ing costs and managing long term liabilities.
Reductions Carried Over from Last Year:
City Administration defunded a full-time equivalent Program Manager position for grant funding and sustainability. The Council will consider whether to restore funding dependent upon Measure N funding and other competing funding needs during the FY26 mid-year review.
Future Budgetary Needs:
Risk Management staf�ing to address growing programmatic workload as the City transitions from a passive to actively managed program.
City Council
Statement of Purpose:
The City Council is elected by the citizens to provide overall policy direction to ensure that the business of the City is conducted in an orderly and ef�icient manner.

Department Reorganization Background:
As part of a multi-year organizational restructuring to better align City operations and meet community needs, the Administrative Services Department has experienced signi�icant changes. Historically, this department has been comprised of the functions for Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology. Effective FY24, the Human Resources Division was transitioned from the Administrative Services Department to the City Administration Department, followed by the Information Technology Division in FY25. As part of this reorganization, the Administrative Services Department was restructured and reclassi�ied as the Finance Department.
Department Statement of Purpose:
The Finance Department provides various �inancial and support services to other departments, individual employees, and the public. It is responsible for overseeing the �inancial management of all City operations to maintain �inancial stability. This includes monitoring the City’s investment portfolio, calculating revenue, preparing payroll and vendor disbursements, responding to audits, and coordinating the development of the annual operating budget, mid-year �inancial review, and long-range �inancial forecast. Additionally, the department ensures compliance with accounting standards and �inancial reporting regulations.

within a functional area. In San Ramon,
Department Heads are the chief administrators
within a department. Program Managers
typically report to either the Department Head or
a Division Manager.
Division: An organization sub-unit of a
department, which encompasses a substantial
portion of the duties assigned to a department.
Encumbrance: The commitment of appropriated
funds for future expenditure.
Expenditure: The out�low of funds paid or to be
paid for an asset obtained or goods and services
obtained. Note: An encumbrance is not an
expenditure encumbrance reserves funds to be
expended.
Fiscal Year: The period designated by the City
for the beginning and ending of �inancial
transactions. In San Ramon, this period of time is
July 1 through June 30.
Fixed Assets: These are non-consumable assets
of a long- term nature such as land, buildings,
machinery, furniture, and other equipment. The
City has de�ined such assets as those with an

Proposed Budget 2025-26 232
expected life more than one (1) year and an
acquisition cost more than $5,000.
Full-Time Equivalent (FTE): The decimal
equivalent of a position converted to a full-time
basis. For example, one person working half time
would count as 0.50 FTE; one person working
full-time would count as 1.0 FTE. Elected
positions are budgeted; however, they are not
included
in net FTE totals.
Fund: Municipal governments organize and
operate their accounting systems on a fund basis.
The formal de�inition of the fund is an
independent �inancial and accounting entity with
a self-balancing set of accounts in which cities
record �inancial transactions relating to revenue,
expenditures, assets, and liabilities. Each fund
has a budget with the exception of the General
Fund (which accounts for general-purpose
actions and has unrestricted revenue sources).
Each remaining fund typically has a unique
funding source and purpose. Establishing funds
enables the City to account for the use of
restricted revenue sources and carry-on speci�ic
activities or pursue speci�ic objectives.
Fund Balance: The fund balance is the excess of
the assets of a fund over its liabilities, reserves,
and carryover.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP): Uniform minimum standards and
guidelines for �inancial accounting and reporting.
They govern the form and content of the �inancial
statements of an entity. GAAP encompasses the
conventions, rules and procedures necessary to
de�ine accepted accounting practice at a
particular time. The primary authoritative body
on the application of GAAP to State and local
governments is the Government Accounting
Standards Board (GASB).
General Fund: The City’s principal operating
fund, all revenue that is not allocated by law or
contractual agreement to a speci�ic fund, which is
supported by general taxes and fees, and which
can be used for any legal purpose.
Goal: A statement of broad direction, purpose or
intent. In San Ramon’s budget, goals are
synonymous with mission statements.
Grant: A transfer or awarding of funds from
either the Federal or State government to the City
to �inance a speci�ic activity or program. The City
receiving the grant funds is not required to repay
the awarding entity the amount in the future.
General Obligation (GO) Bonds: A type of
municipal bond in which the bond repayments
(principal and interest) are guaranteed by the
total revenue generated by the government
entity. In other words, the repayment is
guaranteed by both tax revenue and operating
revenue generated by various projects. GO bonds
are primarily used to subsidize the development
of public projects. No assets are used as
collateral.
Indirect Costs: Those elements of cost are
necessary in the performance of a service, which
cannot be accurately or readily allocated to the
unit of service. Usually, they relate to those
expenditures, which are not an integral part of
the service.
Infrastructure: The physical assets of the
government (e.g., streets, parks and public
buildings).
Interest: Income earned on the investment of
available cash balances.
Internal Service: Accounts for capital
equipment purchases, insurance and bene�it
liability, and investment management.
Materials and Supplies: Expendable materials
and operating supplies necessary to conduct
departmental orientation.

Proposed Budget 2025-26 233
Non-Departmental: Program costs that do not
relate to any one department but represent costs
of a general Citywide nature.
Objective: Something to be accomplished in
speci�ic, well-de�ined, and measurable terms and
that is achievable within a speci�ic timeframe.
Operating Budget: The operating budget
provides a plan for current expenditures and the
proposed means of �inancing them. In a broader
sense, the annual operating budget is a statement
of what services the municipality will deliver to
its citizens.
Other Costs: Expenditure category which
includes employee training and development,
insurance and subsidies.
Personnel Services: An expenditure category
which generally accounts for the salaries of fulltime, part-time and temporary employees, overtime expenses, all employee bene�its for City
employees, such as medical, dental and
retirement.
Program: Represents major areas or support
functions; they are de�ined as a service provided
to citizens, other
departments, or other agencies.
Program Revenue (Income): This is revenue
earned by a program, including fees for services,
license and permit fees, and �ines.
Proposed Budget: Proposed level of
expenditure/FTEs as outlined in the proposed
budget document. This is the City Manager’s
recommended budget, which will be considered
by the City Council for approval.
Reprogram: The re-appropriation of funds that
were previously earmarked for another use.
Reserve: An account which the City uses to
either set aside revenue that it does not need to
spend in the current �iscal year or to earmark
revenue for a speci�ic future purpose. Reserves
are typically established and budgeted through
City Council policy action.
Resolution: A special order by the City Council
requiring less legal formality than an Ordinance
in terms of public notice prior to approval.
Resources: Total amount available for
appropriation, including estimated revenue,
beginning fund balances, and fund transfers.
Revenue: Amount of funds received from the
collection of taxes, fees, permits, licenses,
interest, and grants during the �iscal year.
Special Revenue Fund: A fund used to account
for revenue sources that are restricted by law or
administrative action to expenditures for special
purposes.
Structural De�icit: The permanent �inancial gap
results when discounting economic cycles,
ongoing revenue does not match or keep pace
with ongoing expenditures.
Surplus: An excess of total current resources
over total current requirements.
Transfers In/Out: Amounts transferred from
one fund to another to assist in �inancing the
services for the recipient fund.

II. History of the Committee
The Teen Council was established by the City Council on August 23, 1994, pursuant to a recommendation by the Parks and Community Services Commission. Currently, the Teen Council consists of 17 members and 2 alternates, in grades 9-12 from California High School, Dougherty Valley High School, and The Quarry Lane School. There were five appointed Ad Hoc Committees this year including the Wellness Ad Hoc Committee, Outstanding Teen Citizenship Award Ad Hoc Committee, Senior Technology Day Ad Hoc Committee, Wish Tree Ad Hoc Committee, and the Ambassador Program Ad Hoc Committee.
III. Review of 2024-2025 Committee Accomplishments and Projects
1. Teen Wellness Ad Hoc Committee
Chair: Harshitha Karippara
The Wellness Ad-Hoc Committee helped establish a baseline of understanding of where specific needs may exist for teens and then develop a plan to directly address it. Teen Council members were able to work through their respective schools and support multiple wellness events at San Ramon schools throughout the year. Analyzing the feedback received will help future Teen Councils by providing informed and valuable insights for improving city services and teen wellness in San Ramon.
2. Outstanding Teen Citizenship Award (OTCA) Ad Hoc Committee Chair: Shreya Arun
The Outstanding Teen Citizenship Award was established in 2011 and was first awarded in the 2012– 13 term. Since then, the Teen Council has been proud to present this award to several qualified applicants in San Ramon. This year, the OTCA Ad Hoc Committee sought to find an applicant who had made a significant contribution toward enhancing the quality of life for San Ramon residents. There were eleven applications submitted for the 2024–2025 award. With the help of several other Teen
9.1.a
Packet Pg. 517 Attachment: A: Teen Council Annual Report 2024/25 (DOC-2025-9 : Teen Council Annual Report) Council members, the OTCA Ad Hoc Committee conducted a thorough application review process.
This year, the San Ramon Teen Council OTCA Ad Hoc Committee awarded the Outstanding Teen Citizenship Award to Kenneth Sarip, a senior at Dougherty Valley High School. Kenneth led Books for the Barrios, a nonprofit initiative through which he donated over 15,000 books and thousands of dollars’ worth of school supplies to underserved communities in the Philippines. His project also created a lasting impact in San Ramon by partnering with ten local schools to free up library storage, improve organizational efficiency, reduce waste, and support sustainability efforts.
The Teen Council approved the following enhancements to next year’s OTCA Application process:
The application was released in April with information shared through social media and Teen Council members sharing at their respective schools; the application will be open through August 22, 2025 allowing students more time to complete the application; A final reminder of the application will be sent during the first two weeks of the 2025-2026 school year, highlighting the application deadline; in mid-September Teen Council members will review applications and conduct interviews; the OCTA recipient will be approved at the October Teen Council Meeting; and in December the OTCA recipient will attend the Chamber of Commerce Business and Community Awards Dinner.
3. Senior Technology Day Ad Hoc Committee
Chair: Trisha Rajganesh
The Senior Technology Day Ad Hoc committee worked to assist seniors in San Ramon to help make them feel more comfortable using their electronic devices. This year, the Committee organized and executed four Senior Technology Days at the Alcosta Senior & Community Center. Additionally, the committee reached out to the Ambassador Program to have ambassadors volunteer at Technology Days, in addition to the Teen Council members. During Senior Tech Days, volunteers worked with seniors to clear up any questions they had about their devices and showed seniors new tricks to make tech use easy. Senior Tech Days included new Workshops this year which revolve around the needs of our Senior Population. The themes have been Cybersecurity ranging to simple “How To…” Workshops.
Tech Days were able to gain greater traction this year due to outreach efforts, which included putting up flyers in the Senior Center as well as making lunchtime announcements. Each Tech Day was very well received, and seniors who were walking by an event often decided to drop in and participate. These events were both informative and fun for the volunteers and seniors who participated, and they should be continued by subsequent committees.
4. Wish Tree Ad Hoc Committee
Chair: Rhea Bhandari
Throughout the year, the Wish Tree Ad Hoc Committee spread positivity and offered teens of San Ramon opportunities to share their thoughts and encouragement. The Wish Tree topics were posted on the San Ramon Teen Council Instagram account and had varying themes throughout the year including anti-bullying awareness, goals and growth, Earth Day, and mental health and stress management.
Students from throughout the school district and community participated and shared their voices. By using features on Instagram to allow users to send responses to the prompts and asking viewers to send in their responses on the monthly posts, the Teen Council has found some success in engaging teens on these topics; however, there has been less interest in engaging with the Wish Tree at the San Ramon Community Center. Therefore, the Teen Council does not recommend supporting the Wish Tree next term.

5. Ambassador Program Ad Hoc Committee
Chair: Surabhi Verma
The San Ramon Teen Council Ambassador Program exists to support and help execute the goals of the San Ramon Teen Council. Their work as liaisons ensures that the work done through the Teen Council is being shared with peers at their respective schools and enhances Teen Council outreach. The ambassadors also share particular areas of interest in helping to address issues affecting teens in San Ramon, such as mental health, desire for more volunteer opportunities, and interest in more skill-based workshops. Ambassadors sought input from peers at their schools and worked through existing ad hoc committees to further the work being done in these areas. In addition to those items, the ambassadors have assisted in various activities that the Teen Council has conducted, including Senior Tech Days, and getting involved in the Wellness Ad-Hoc Committee and the Wish Tree Ad-Hoc Committee. They have also helped the Teen Council spread the word about initiatives and events.
IV. Volunteer Activities
Teen Council members are required to commit to eight hours of volunteer work each month that supports the activities and goals of the Council. This requirement ensures an active membership in the community and encourages their peers to volunteer. Teen Council members were able to remain active by participating in a variety of events including Senior Technology Days, Teen Job Fair, Tri-Valley YAC Roundtable.
V. Representation in City Government
The Teen Council has liaisons for the Arts Advisory Committee, Housing Advisory Committee, Library Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, Open Space Advisory Committee, Senior Advisory Committee, Transportation Advisory Committee, Parks and Community Services Commission, and City Council. Teen Council members attend meetings and report back to the Teen Council to consider various aspects of other committees' work when making suggestions.
