Message from the City Manager
June 10, 2025
DEAR HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL:

It is my pleasure to present the Fiscal Y ear 2025-26 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program for the City of Santa Clarita (City). The annual budget is the spending plan that provides the necessary funding to deliver exceptional services to Santa Clarita residents and businesses. I am pleased to share that our City will once again have a balanced budget for this next fiscal year.

STA TE OF THE ECONOMY
U.S. Economy
The current economic condition can be described as clouded and uncertain. The UCLA Anderson Forecast issued a recession watch in early March, given the volatility in the stock market and the impending and changing directives and policies at the federal level. While UCLA economists do not believe a recession is imminent, the sentiment is one of a recession, if federal policies are fully enacted. In addition, the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index, which is one of two indices used by economists to rate current and future economic conditions, indicated that consumer sentiment is near an all-time low. Economists have expressed three primary areas of concern: tariff policies, the impacts of the Department of Government Efficiency, and the construction sector, specifically, its labor force.

Kiplinger readjusted the projected national growth in April, which is now expected to be 1.5 percent for 2025, lower than the original projected growth rate of 2.4 percent. J.P . Morgan Research shares a similar outlook, suggesting a national growth rate of 1.6 percent for 2025. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the U.S. at 2.3 percent for April, down from 2.4 percent in March; however, Kiplinger projects inflation will rise to 4 percent by the end of 2025. Given the reduced projected growth rate and anticipated rise in inflation, economists believe that while a recession may not be imminent, there is a real possibility of stagflation in the U.S. economy.

On the state level, UCLA Anderson economists expect job growth to be suppressed, with the employment growth rate for 2025 expected to be 0.5 percent, down from the original projection of 1.4 percent. The most impacted sector is anticipated to be the construction labor force, which will have a direct impact on the state’s ability to meet housing needs. This includes both affordable and new housing, as well as the reconstruction of housing across Southern California as a result of the Palisades and Eaton fires. For 2025, the UCLA Anderson Forecast expects the state’s unemployment rate to average

5.7 percent, up from the original projection of 4.8 percent.

Locally, Santa Clarita continues to do well and make incremental growth. The number of businesses in our community grew to 10,397 in the first quarter of 2024, up over 450 businesses from the first quarter of 2023.

This directly correlates to the number of jobs in Santa Clarita, which increased 2.4 percent to 97,021. The local unemployment rate was 5.5 percent in February 2025, below Los Angeles County’s 5.9 percent. On the construction side, the Building & Safety division issued nearly 5,500 permits for over $409 million in new construction in 2024.

The median home price in Santa Clarita was $860,000 in the first quarter of 2025, down from $907,000 in the first quarter of 2024, and lower than the $950,000 median price in Los Angeles County.

Overall, the future of the U.S. economy is uncertain and the City, like many U.S. economists, is taking a wait-and- see approach. In the meantime, we continue to take a very conservative approach to our budget decisions and are focused on providing exceptional services for the most critical needs of our residents and organization.

State of the City Budget
As a result of good financial stewardship, the state of the City’s budget continues to be positive and reflects strong fiscal solvency. The City is one of just 47 California cities with an elite AAA credit rating by S&P Global Ratings, which Santa Clarita has maintained since 2012. The City received its 30th consecutive Certificate of Excellence Award for its Fiscal Y ear 2024-25 Investment Policy and its 35th consecutive Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Unlike various cities in Southern California, such as the City of Los Angeles or the County of Los Angeles, who are projecting significant budget deficits, the City is well positioned financially and capable of weathering any downturn in the economy.

Public safety is and continues to be a top priority for the City. Key areas of focus include grand theft auto, retail theft, and gang activity. The City, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department, continues to find ways to leverage technology to aid with enforcement efforts. In early 2025, approximately 35 automatic license plate reader cameras were installed in strategic areas throughout the City to assist in the apprehension of suspects linked to theft and grand theft auto. As a result of the tremendous efforts of our local deputies, Part I crimes in Santa Clarita were down 3.5 percent in 2024, when compared to 2023. In 2024, the City was ranked 8th safest in the nation by PropertyClub.

The City continues to invest in the community through various programs, events, and projects. In 2024, the City opened its 38th park, Skyline Ranch Park, and completed rehabilitation efforts to open the Valencia Community Center (VCC), the City’s third community center. Looking ahead, the City anticipates ramping up programming at VCC, while opening Pioneer Oil Refinery Park and completing the acquisition of William S.

Hart Park, which will be the City’s 39th and 40th parks, respectively. Equally as exciting, the City looks to make significant progress on The Rink Sports Pavilion, which is anticipated to open in mid-2026.

With this in mind, I want to reaffirm the confidence I have in Santa Clarita, which is a testament to the City Council’s leadership and directives, support from the commissions, and the work of our tremendous City staff.

BUDGET PROCESS
The Fiscal Y ear 2025-26 Operating Budget is conservative and in alignment with the City Council’s budget philosophy, a historically successful approach in maintaining a balanced and responsible budget for Santa Clarita.

The following philosophy has kept the organization strong during uncertain economic times:
• Decisions made in good times are more important than the decisions made during bad times • Live below our means
• Run a lean organization
• Use conservative five-year projections
• Employ full-cost recovery when setting fees
• Diversify revenue
• Use one-time money only for one-time expenses
• When in doubt, contract out

The City Council’s long-standing and conservative budget practices position the City to continue to meet financial commitments, as well as provide quality services and programs that enhance the quality of life for the community.

Message from the City Manager

BUDGET PRIORITY
The Santa Clarita 2025 Strategic Plan (SC2025) is a compilation of needs expressed by the community and the City Council’s goals and priorities over five years, commencing in 2021. Several essential work areas were synthesized into seven “Quality of Life” themes that best describe the qualities of the City:

1. Building and Creating Community

2. Community Engagement

3. Enhancing Economic Vitality

4. Community Beautification and Sustainability

5. Organizational Excellence

6. Public Safety

7. Sustaining Public Infrastructure
Serving as a guide for the organization, SC2025 prioritizes resources, achieves milestones, and maintains our commitment to providing the best services and facilities the City can offer residents, both today and into the future.

The financial recommendations for Fiscal Y ear 2025-26 are aligned with SC2025.

BUDGET OVERVIEW
Appropriations
The Fiscal Y ear 2025-26 Operating Budget totals $344.6 million. This includes funding for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), personnel, operations and maintenance, capital outlay, and debt services. When compared to the current adopted budget (Fiscal Y ear 2024-25), this represents an overall increase of 0.7 percent, or $2.3 million.

T otal Revenues
A significant part of the budget process is estimating revenues for the upcoming fiscal year. This process is critical, as budget appropriations are based on these projections. Several factors are considered to ensure accuracy in our projections, including the state of the economy, historical trends, population projections/growth, and inflationary factors. With this information, the City can best determine the revenues available for allocation.

The City utilizes long-range financial planning to ensure long-term solvency. This is done through a long-term, multi- year financial plan which includes five-year projections for both General Fund revenues and expenditures. Ongoing analyses are conducted to determine whether revenues or expenditures are anticipated to deviate from their long-term trends over the next five years. In addition, whenever necessary, independent revenue forecasting is performed on major revenue sources, including, but not limited to, sales tax and property tax.

To ensure fiscal health and the ability to absorb short run fluctuations in any one revenue source, the City maintains a diversified and stable revenue system. City fees for all operations are examined and adjusted annually to ensure that fees cover the direct and indirect costs of service, as appropriate. In addition to annual adjustments, the City conducts a comprehensive fee study every five years to account for service level changes, efficiencies, and staffing impacts. Finally, development fees for one-time capital expenditures are reviewed annually to ensure that fees match development-related expenditures.

With the aforementioned in mind, I am pleased to inform you that for Fiscal Y ear 2025-26, total revenue exceeds total expenditure appropriations.

General Fund
The General Fund is vital to the operation of the City because it is comprised of the most flexible revenue the City Council can allocate toward any project or need within the community. The Fiscal Y ear 2025-26 Operating Budget is consistent with our practice of ensuring ongoing revenues are greater than ongoing expenditures.

THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

Page 8 of 239 ends

General Fund Revenues
The City’s largest fund is the General Fund, representing $152.7 million in total revenues. The following revenue projections are compared to those reflected in the current adopted budget:
• Sales Tax, which is traditionally the City’s largest General Fund revenue source, is projected to decrease 3.3 percent to $47.4 million.
• Property Tax and Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fees are estimated to increase 3.9 percent to $51.5 million, collectively.
• Franchise Revenues are projected to increase 4.2 percent to $11.6 million. • Development Revenues are projected to increase 2.8 percent to $11.4 million. • Transient Occupancy Tax is projected to remain flat at $5.2 million. • Recreation Revenues are projected to increase 10.1 percent to $5.3 million The basis for these estimations is derived from current actuals, while factoring economic conditions, inflationary factors, market trends, and City directives and priorities for the upcoming fiscal year, among other critical factors.

General Fund Expenditure Budget
The total General Fund expenditures include funding for operating departments, debt services, contingency, and transfers to other funds. For Fiscal Y ear 2025-26, the General Fund appropriations total $152.3 million.

General Fund Operating Reserves
Reserves are a critical component of the budget because this funding source can be counted on in case of an emergency or unforeseen circumstance. For Fiscal Y ear 2025-26, the City’s emergency operating reserve will total $26.4 million. This represents a 20 percent General Fund Operating Reserve, which is a goal of the City Council that was reached and has been in place since Fiscal Y ear 2016-17.

ADDITIONS TO THE OPERA TING BUDGET
The Fiscal Y ear 2025-26 Operating Budget provides the necessary resources to provide exceptional services for the benefit of our residents and businesses, and the newly annexed areas. Below is a summary of the most notable additions to the budget, organized according to SC2025 Quality of Life themes:

Community Profile
ON DECEMBER 15, 1987 , the City of Santa
Clarita (City) incorporated from Los Angeles County.

Incorporation brought the communities of Saugus,
Newhall, Valencia, and Canyon Country together to form
Santa Clarita.

By forming a city, Santa Clarita residents gained the
ability to keep locally-generated tax dollars right here in the community to build new parks, trails, roads,
bridges, sidewalks, street improvements, transportation amenities, neighborhood safety, high-quality recreation, and much more.

The City is located 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles and is accessible via Highway 126, the Antelope Valley (SR- 14), and the Golden State (I-5) freeways. The Southern
Pacific Railroad has daily freight runs, while Amtrak
provides regular daily passenger service to key cities, making stops at each of the four Metrolink stations in the City, including the Vista Canyon Multi-Modal Center,
which opened in 2023.

The City has established an enviable balance between
quality of life and quality infrastructure and amenities.

The balance of quality living and smart growth is
carefully maintained through long-term planning,
fiscal responsibility, community involvement, respect
for the environment, and strong support for business
development. The community not only enjoys numerous
parks, recreation services, and facilities, but also
outstanding Los Angeles County Fire and Sheriff services, responsive paramedic and ambulance services, and high
levels of local government services.

SANTA CLARITA 2025
Santa Clarita has experienced
significant success in setting
and implementing strategic
visions. Through strategic
planning, award-winning
projects have been completed,
new programs have been
introduced while continuing to
improve current offerings, and
essential services have been expanded for the community.

Santa Clarita 2025 is the City’s five-year strategic plan, which is in its final year. This plan serves as a guide for the City’s decisions and priorities, and is synthesized into seven themes that best describe the amazing qualities of the City:

BUILDING AND CREATING COMMUNITY

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

SUSTAINING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE

ENHANCING ECONOMIC VITALITY

COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION

AND SUSTAINABILITY

ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE

PUBLIC SAFETY

BUILDING AND CREA TING COMMUNITY
There are a myriad number of amenities for residents and visitors to explore in Santa Clarita. From our parks, trails, facilities, and preserved open space, the opportunities to enjoy indoor and outdoor activities are limitless.

A variety of entertainment and enrichment events are
offered throughout the year, including SENSES Block
Party, offered every third Thursday from March to June, the Y outh Arts Showcase in the spring, the free Concerts in the Park series at Central Park in July and August, and each year finishes off with the landmark event, Light Up Main Street, which officially kicks off the holidaty season.

Page 14 of 239 ends

Santa Clarita’s strong Western heritage is preserved
through the established Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival
at William S. Hart Park. Held in April of each year, this award-winning celebration features the best in Western
poetry, music, and fine art, bringing thousands of visitors into the area.

Recreation programs, camps, classes, and events
throughout the community, including the popular Camp
Clarita summer youth camp, Primetime Preschool, Y outh
and Adult Sports leagues and programming, contract
classes, and Santa Clarita Public Library programming
are offered regularly. Information for these programs can be found in the City’s award-winning Seasons magazine,
which is mailed quarterly to City residents. Entertainment options at the City’s local theatre, The MAIN, are also featured to highlight live stage productions, stand-up
comedy, and film screenings.

The City’s Open Space Preservation District preserves
natural land from development, creates a greenbelt
around the City, retains wildlife corridors, and protects rare biological and geological regions. This land provides valuable recreational opportunities, such as hiking,
biking, and equestrian uses. Santa Clarita is also friendly to cyclists of all skill levels with miles of bicycle lanes, cycling trails, a bike park, and paseos.

Community Profile

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Santa Clarita strives to regularly engage and inform the public of decisions and actions that impact quality of life in the community.

The City’s Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) pages are updated several times each day and
are linked to SantaClarita.gov – the City’s
newly redesigned website. The City has been
consistently recognized with numerous awards
for its engagement and presence on social
media. Most recently, the City launched Santa
Clarita Voices – the City’s first podcast,
which airs monthly.

Mobile applications continue to be very
popular with our residents and visitors
alike. These applications include Resident
Service Center (RSC), the City’s
mobile application, which provides
general City information, Hike Santa
Clarita, which offers hiking, biking, and equestrian trail information, and the Newhall Walking Tour, which
provides information on historic film, business, and art locations in the Newhall area.

Santa Clarita continues to recruit volunteers on
SantaClaritaVolunteers.com as a way to engage residents in the coordination and delivery of Citywide events and programs. Volunteers can sign up to help with City events including River Rally, the Cowboy Festival, and countless community events where City programming is featured.

To commemorate Santa Clarita residents from the
armed forces who lost their lives while serving in the
United States War on Terror, the City dedicated the
Fallen Warriors Memorial Bridge. The Hometown
Heroes Military Banner Program was established to
honor and recognize City residents who are in active
duty military service.

SUSTAINING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
To ensure the sustainability of the City’s existing
inventory of parks, facilities, and roadways, repairs,
upgrades, and new construction are essential.

On an annual basis, the City maintains arterial and
neighborhood streets through the annual Road
Rehabilitation program. Through a pavement
management system, streets are selected for slurry seal and overlay treatment to improve their quality and
address maintenance concerns before they develop into
larger issues.

The City has also developed a maintenance and
sustainability plan for parks, ensuring City facilities and equipment continue to be safe and serve the needs
of the public. Key projects include shade structure and play equipment replacements, sidewalk and concrete
rehabilitation, sport field and court resurfacing, and
much more.

In addition to rehabilitation and repair projects, new
amenities are often constructed, such as Skyline Ranch
Park, the City’s 38th park, and the Valencia Community
Center (VCC), both of which opened in 2024. After
acquiring the former YMCA facility, the City completed
a large-scale rehabilitation project on the site and re- opened it as the VCC, which will offer programming
opportunities, including Camp Clarita, contract classes, and swim lessons at the City’s first indoor pool.

ENHANCING ECONOMIC VITALITY
Santa Clarita Valley is home to businesses and jobs from diverse industries, with the largest employers being Six Flags Magic Mountain, Princess Cruises, Henry Mayo
Newhall Memorial Hospital, Boston Scientific, The
Master’s University, Advanced Bionics, Logix, Woodward
HRT, and local school districts and colleges.

Santa Clarita maintains a highly supportive environment for businesses and has targeted its economic development efforts towards the expansion of the following industries:

Aerospace and Defense, Advanced Manufacturing,
Bioscience and Medical Devices, Digital Media and
Entertainment, Information Technology, and corporate
headquarters.

Santa Clarita boasts a highly educated workforce, which is the third largest labor force in Los Angeles County. Over 39 percent of the workforce possess a bachelor’s degree or higher and 71 percent have at least some level of college education. Santa Clarita’s quality employers, business- friendly environment, and highly skilled workforce make Santa Clarita an ideal destination for business.

Consistent with its business-friendly approach, the City assesses fewer fees and taxes than neighboring cities and unincorporated Los Angeles County. Additionally, the
City offers one-stop and expedited permitting, electronic plan submission for developers, and the deferral of certain permit-related fees to encourage business development.

The online e-Permit system gives residents and contractors the ability to apply for, process, pay for, and print specific permits online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The City’s Film Office is dedicated to making filming in Santa Clarita as affordable, convenient, and enjoyable
as possible for production. As a result, Santa Clarita has become one of the most filmed locations in California.

COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICA TION AND SUSTAINABILITY
Preserving the natural beauty of the City has been a long- standing priority since its incorporation. The beauty and natural setting of Santa Clarita is greatly enhanced by the presence of large numbers of majestic oak trees, which
make up some of the 120,000 City trees maintained.

The City is responsible for administering and managing
62 Landscape Maintenance Zones which encompasses
the maintenance of street medians, parkways, side-
panels, parks, numerous monument signs, paseos,
trees, and landscaped medians in each district. Through the installation and maintenance of landscape and
ornamental features, the natural beauty of the community is enhanced for residents to enjoy.

A testament to the City’s commitment to sustainability
and energy efficiency, two of the City’s latest large-scale capital projects – the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff ’s Station and Canyon Country Community Center – were awarded
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
Silver certification. LEED, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world.

In addition, in 2024, the City completed a $35 million
Energy Efficiency Project involving several City facilities.

Key project components include lighting, solar, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. This project will reduce energy consumption and generate savings, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 3,000 metric tons per
year, which is the equivalent of taking 716 gas-powered cars off the road.

ORGANIZA TIONAL EXCELLENCE
As part of the City’s commitment to provide high-
quality services and responsive local governance, the
City delivers a public opinion poll every two years to
gauge residents’ satisfaction, priorities, and concerns as they relate to services and facilities provided by the City.

The feedback and information received is used to make
sound, strategic decisions in a variety of areas, including service improvements and enhancements, measuring
and tracking internal performance, budgeting, policy,
planning, and community engagement.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Santa Clarita is regularly ranked as one of the safest
cities in the nation. This has been achieved through
the partnerships forged with the Los Angeles County
Sheriff ’s Department, operating out of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff ’s Station, and the business community
in the areas of crime prevention, intervention, and
enforcement.

The City’s Traffic Operations Center at City Hall allows real-time observation of traffic conditions throughout
the City for swift response to traffic incidents and
congestion. In addition, the City maintains a Traffic
Safety Team, comprised of City staff and Sheriff
personnel, to maintain and enhance roadway safety
through education, enforcement, and engineering.

To ensure petty offenders pay restitution and perform
community service here in Santa Clarita, the City
established a Community Court diversion that continues
to thrive. In 2024, the program was expanded to include Drug Court. In addition, the City offers multiple youth programs aimed at fostering civic responsibility and
limiting exposure to drugs and violence.

The sheriff ’s department administers the Juvenile
Intervention Team to keep drugs off the streets of Santa Clarita, away from the schools, and out of the hands of our youth. Through an inter-agency collaboration, the
City implemented Drug Free Y outh in Santa Clarita
Valley (DFYinSCV). DFYinSCV is a voluntary drug
prevention education program that educates, empowers,
recognizes, and celebrates drug-free students. Students receive curriculum through school club meetings,
agree to be randomly drug tested throughout the year,
and participate in educational workshops, community
service projects, and conferences.

To commemorate youth who have tragically lost their
lives in traffic-related incidents, the City created and maintains the award-winning Y outh Grove Memorial,
located in Central Park, which also serves as the
location for the City’s annual Evening of Remembrance.

Santa Clarita’s History

Many generations have passed through this
valley, each leaving its own trace of history.

The valley has been home to Native
Americans, explorers, soldiers, pioneers,
farmers, ranchers, and shopkeepers.

Dating back to the year 450, the Tataviam tribe
settled in a mountainous region, later named
Santa Clara by Spanish migrants. In conflict
leading to revolution in Mexico, Spanish
soldiers fled to the Santa Clara region and
named the region in honor of St. Clare. Later
calling the local river “little” Santa Clara, the
valley was then named accordingly, and took
the name of Santa Clarita.

The first recorded discovery of gold in
California occurred in Santa Clarita six years
prior to its discovery at Sutter’s Mill in
Sacramento. As the story goes, in 1842, Juan
Francisco de Gracia Lopez was napping under
a massive oak tree in Placerita Canyo n, and
dreamt that he was surrounded by gold and
became very rich. Upon awakening, he picked
a bunch of wild onions growing nearby, and
attached to the onion roots were several small
pieces of gold. This discovery greatly impacted
further development, namely the Newhall
Pass, which was constructed for the
transportation of mining supplies.

Henry Mayo Newhall established what was
then known as the town of Newhall, and, in
1878, planted corn, flax, and alfalfa. This was
the beginning of the Newhall Land and
Farming Company. The 1870’s also brought
about the Southern Pacific Railroad. The
Ironhorse, or so it was named, laid its tracks
across the valley, bringing with it new towns
and increased population. Saugus was named
after a small town in Massachusetts wh ere
Henry Mayo Newhall was born.

Newhall Train Depot – circa 1890

Black Gold, a substance which oozed from the
ground, rarely served a purpose for the
Indians. However, in 1875, the rivers of oil
were diverted into the first commercially
producing oil well in Pico Canyon. CSO 4, as it
was called, was operated by the forerunners of
the Standard Oil Company, and had the
distinction of being the oldest operating oil
well in the world until capped in 1990.

The 1900’s brought prosperity and new
businesses to the valley, some of which remain
today. For example, Sterling Borax began
production during that time period, and the
once-named “Saugus Station Eatery,” now
called the Saugus Café, is still open for business
daily. Many businesses opened shop during
this era, including general stores, post offices,
and churches.

Spruce Street – 1916 (Main Street)

This growing community, with its rich and
diverse surroundings of mountains, trees, and
deserts, attracted Gene Autry and his western
style television show. By the early 1900’s,
Hollywood studios were using the area's
rugged canyons as locations for filming their
Westerns. The new home for Melody Ranch
was “Western” town, renamed and used as the
set for Gene Autry’s television show. William S.

Hart, a pr ominent Hollywood film star of the
1920’s, left his mark on the community by
building his home here and,

The new home for Melody Ranch was ”Western Town” ,
renamed and used as the set for Gene Autry’s television show. William S. Hart, a prominent Hollywood film star
of the 1920s, left his mark on the community by building his home here and, upon his death, leaving it to Los
Angeles County. The Hart Mansion provides tourists
and residents a chance to recapture the feelings of the old west and the beginnings of the western film business.

Today, the movie business has become one of the leading industries in the area and is an important factor in its economic growth.

The Saugus Speedway was once the Baker-Hoot Gibson
Rodeo Arena, which held massive regional rodeos,
drawing people from all over Southern California.

With the development of this growing community came
a need for the distribution of information, and thus the Newhall Signal newspaper was founded by Edward H.

Brown. By the year 1940, Santa Clarita’s population had reached 4,000. Six years later, the first high school in the William S. Hart School District was dedicated. With the development of schools came the construction of tract
homes, the first being Rancho Santa Clarita.

In 1963, Canyon Country was founded and the first
celebration of Frontier Days took place. In demand by all the new developments and residents, the Santa Clarita
National Bank opened its doors in 1965. The community
of Valencia was dedicated in 1967, and at that time
houses were selling for a mere $25,000.

Higher education opened its doors to the valley in the late sixties and early seventies. College of the Canyons and California Institute of the Arts, which was incorporated by Walt Disney, were established and serviced the needs of this growing community.

Magic Mountain opened in 1971, bringing in
thousands of tourists and giving the valley a significant landmark. Today, it is one of the largest amusement
parks in the country.

In 1975, Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital was
founded, as well as the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Foundation, which maintains and protects the rich
history of the valley.

In the 1980s, “Santa Clarita” became a common term. The eighties also brought a staggering increase in population, bringing the total number of residents to 81,816. In
1985, the Chamber of Commerce instituted a study on
the economic feasibility of becoming an incorporated
city; two years later what is now the City of Santa Clarita was approved by the voters. In December 1987, the
City of Santa Clarita was formed as the second largest
incorporation within Los Angeles County, and today we
are the third largest city in Los Angeles County.

It is evident that cityhood has helped transform Santa
Clarita. Our City offers a unique blend of urban
sophistication and small-town charm, coupled with
rich historic elements, destination dining, signature
shopping and a variety of recreational programs, and
open space that promote a healthy lifestyle and high
quality of life for residents.

Community Profile
Form of Government
The City of Santa Clarita (City) is a General Law city operating under a Council-Manager form of local municipal government, with the City Council acting as the part-time legislative body of the City. Historically, five members have been elected to the City Council at large on a nonpartisan basis, with members serving four-year terms. However, in 2024, the City transitioned to district-based elections, starting with two seats and the remaining seats in 2026.

Elections are staggered every two years, with the Council-appointed Mayor serving a one-year term and acting as presiding officer.

The City Council appoints a City Manager to be the Chief Administrative Officer responsible for the day-to-day operations of the City. The City Manager’s duties include appointing department Directors, who are then responsible for the day-to-day operations of their departments. Directors then have the task of hiring Division Managers and support staff members.

Also appointed by the City Council is the City Attorney, who is the legal advisor to the City Council, Commissioners, and other City officials.

Assisting the City Council in serving the Santa Clarita communities are a variety of boards and commissions that address specific needs within their particular realm of responsibility. Each board and commission has the opportunity to be involved in a wide range of activities, from reviewing City ordinances to recommending major revisions to City programs. Public meetings are held on a regular basis.

BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS GUIDE
Purpose of an Annual Budget
The basic purpose of the City of Santa Clarita’s budget is to serve as a “blueprint” for providing City services and a working financial plan, as well as providing a communication tool for City residents, businesses, and employees. The document is specifically designed to give clear and accurate information to the community with respect to how its local government is organized and operates. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) provides a comprehensive capital planning document and a context for future capital budget allocations.

The City of Santa Clarita’s Municipal Code requires the City Manager to present a balanced budget, in which ongoing revenues match or exceed ongoing expenditures, to the City Council each year. This document authorizes appropriations or eligible expenditures for the City’s fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30 of the following year.

Budget & Capital Improvement Projects Preparation
The budget is prepared each year by the City Manager’s Office and the Administrative Services Department, in cooperation with other City departments and other agencies which receive public funds. The CIP is prepared each year by the Public Works Department, the City Manager’s Office, and the Administrative Services Department. The CIP preparation process has been integrated into the budget process.

In January of every year, each department is presented with a Budget Preparation Guide. The Finance Division provides estimated revenues for the coming year, as well as year-end projected revenues for the current fiscal year.

Department expenditure and CIP requests are prepared reflecting these projected revenue trends and estimates. In March, the departments then submit their proposed budgets and requests for the upcoming fiscal year to the City Manager. The review of the budget is the responsibility of the City’s Budget Team. In March and April, the Budget Team analyzes each individual budget and either approves, denies, or revises the requested funding amounts.

The final product becomes part of the draft, proposed Annual Budget and CIP document presented to the City Council.

The City Council has appointed a Council Budget Committee that meets during the budget process. Budget study sessions are generally conducted with the City Council and the Commissions in the months of February and May.

Citizens have an opportunity to comment on the draft document during the public hearing in May. During the budget study session and the public participation period, the draft Annual Budget and CIP document may be revised or amended to reflect spending priorities that may differ from those presented in the draft document. The final Annual Budget, with the corresponding CIP Budget, is adopted by resolution of the City Council and takes effect on July 1. Once adopted, the City of Santa Clarita has a new operating budget and fiscal plan for the coming year, and a program for capital spending.

THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

Page 52 of 239 ends

The calendar below reflects the timeline and process for the planning and preparation of the Annual Budget and Capital Improvement Program Document:

Level of Control and Changes to Adopted Budget
From the effective date of the budget, the amounts stated as proposed expenditures become appropriations for the various City departments and capital improvement projects. These formal budgets are employed as a management control device during the year for the General Revenue Fund and all Special Revenue Funds. The City has prepared a line-item detail, which lists each account group within each of the three expenditure categories. This annual budget format is designed to provide a more comprehensive management and fiscal planning system to aid in the achievement of goals and objectives at the operational levels consistent with the City Council’s policies.

Additional expenditures for capital outlay items must be approved by the City Manager and City Council. Funds appropriated for salaries and benefits may not be expended for any other purpose without the approval of the City Manager or his designee. The City Manager or his designee may transfer funds within and between programs and departments.

Budgetary control, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount, is exercised at the category level, with the exception of the Capital Improvement Program. The budgetary control for the Capital Improvement Program is at the program level. Generally, there are two types of budget transfers:

Budget Adjustment: This is a transfer that does not change the total appropriated amount within a fund and does not require Council action. Depending upon the budget category affected by the transfer, approval may be granted by the City Manager or his designee.

Department heads have discretion to reapportion funds between certain line-items within a program, but may not exceed the total appropriated amounts for each category.

Budget Amendment: This is an adjustment to the total appropriated amount within a fund which was not included in the original budget. These supplemental appropriations require formal action by the City Council.

Types of modifications can be categorized as follows:
• Unanticipated revenue, which was not projected in the budget, may be appropriated by Council for expenditure in the fiscal year received.
• Prior year reserves or fund balances may be appropriated to fund items not previously included in the adopted budget. Reserves/fund balances exceeding minimum amounts required by administrative policies may be appropriated if it is determined to be in the best interest of the City. The City Council must also appropriate reserves in case of emergencies or unusual circumstances. • Transfers between funds require formal action by the City Council.

Unexpended appropriations automatically lapse at the end of the fiscal year, and are included in the ending fund balance calculations within each fund.

Annual Appropriations Limit
The Appropriations Limit, established by the State of California per Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, sets a limit for the annual appropriations of tax proceeds for all municipalities.

Article XIIIB was recently amended by Proposition 111 to change the method of calculating the annual appropriations limit. Prior to Proposition 111, the annual appropriations limit was adjusted annually by the change in the cost of living or by the change in California per capita personal income, whichever was less, and by the percentage change in the population of the City.

Under the new guidelines set forth by Proposition 111, the annual appropriations limit will not exceed a base year adjusted by the change in population of the City or the County combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the change in the local assessment roll, due to local nonresidential construction. Proposition 111 also changed the base year for all municipalities to 1986-87.

Starting with a base year limit of $47,350,022 for 1986-87 and increasing it to the 2025-2026 limits by using the guidelines set forth in Proposition 111, the calculation would be as follows:
2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2015-162014-15 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-2 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 2025-261 Millions

Fiscal Policies
Fiscal Policies for
the City of Santa Clarita
Fiscal policies establish the framework for overall fiscal planning and management. The policies set forth guidelines for both current activities and long-range planning. The City’s Fiscal Policies shall be reviewed annually to ensure the highest standards of fiscal management.

OVERALL GOALS
The overall financial goals underlying these financial policies are:

Fiscal Conservatism: To ensure that the City is at all times in a solid financial condition. This can be defined as:
• Cash solvency - ability to pay bills
• Budgetary solvency - ability to balance the budget
• Long-run solvency - ability to pay future costs
• Service-level solvency - ability to provide needed and desired services Flexibility: To ensure that the City is in a position to respond to changes in the economy or new service challenges without an undue amount of financial stress.

Adherence to the Highest Accounting and Management Practices: As set by the Government Finance Officers Association standards for financial reporting and budgeting, by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and other professional standards.

I. CASH MANAGEMENT
A. Purpose
An investment policy has been approved by minute order and as a best practice, is reviewed annually by the City’s Investment Committee consisting of the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and the City Treasurer. The investment policy provides guidelines on authorized investments and investment risk, for the prudent investment of temporary idle cash, and outlines the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City, while protecting its pooled cash.

B. Objective
The cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City attempts to obtain the highest possible yield, as long as investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.

C. Policy
In order to maximize interest earnings, the City commingles the cash of all funds, except those funds held in trust for the City by various financial institutions in accordance with applicable trust agreements related to debt issues. Interest revenue derived from commingled cash is allocated monthly to the participating funds based on the relative cash balance of each fund.

D. Procedures
Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:

1. Safety
The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest, or a combination of these amounts. The City only operates in those investments that are considered very safe and are allowable under Government Code Section 53601.

2. Liquidity
This refers to the ability to “cash in” at any moment in time, with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality, especially when the need for unexpected funds occasionally occurs.

3. Yield
This is the dollar earnings an investment instrument can provide, and sometimes is described as the rate of return.

Planning and Budgeting
The City’s success in financial planning and budgeting is due to the City Council’s timeless and proven budget practices. Some of these practices include:
• The decisions made in the good times are more important than the decisions made during the bad times • Live below our means
• Run a lean organization
• Use conservative five-year projections
• Employ full-cost recovery when setting fees
• Diversify revenue
• Use one-time money only for one-time expenses
• When in doubt, contract out
Purpose of an Annual Budget
The City of Santa Clarita’s budget serves as a “blueprint” for providing City services, as a working financial plan and communication tool for City residents, businesses, and employees. The document is designed to give clear and accurate information to the community with respect to how its local government is organized and operates. The Capital Improvement Program provides a comprehensive capital planning document and a context for future capital budget allocations.

The City Manager presents a balanced budget in which ongoing revenues match or exceed ongoing expenditures, to the City Council each year. This document authorizes appropriations or eligible expenditures for the City’s fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30 of the following year.

Budget & Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Preparation
The budget is prepared each year by the City Manager’s Office and the Department of Administrative Services, in cooperation with other City departments and other agencies which receive public funds. The CIP is prepared each year by the Public Works Department, the City Manager’s Office, and the Department of Administrative Services. The CIP preparation process has been integrated into the budget process.

Annually, in January, each department is presented with a Budget Preparation Guide. The Finance Division provides estimated revenues for the coming year and year-end projected revenues for the current fiscal year.

The final product becomes the draft, proposed Annual Budget and CIP document presented to the City Council.

The City Council has appointed a Council Budget Subcommittee that meets during the budget process. Budget study sessions are conducted with the City Council and the Commissions in the months of February and May. Citizens have an opportunity to comment on the draft document during study sessions and at the public hearing in June.

Fiscal Policies
Level of Control and Changes to Adopted Budget
From the effective date of the budget, the amounts stated as proposed expenditures become appropriations for the various City departments and capital improvement projects. These formal budgets are employed as a management control device during the year for all funds. The City has prepared a line-item detail, which lists each account group within each of the three expenditure categories (personnel, operations & maintenance, and capital outlay). This annual budget format is designed to provide a more comprehensive management and fiscal planning system to aid in the achievement of goals and objectives at the operational levels consistent with the City Council’s policies.

Funds appropriated for salaries and benefits may not be expended for any other purpose without the approval of the City Manager or designee. Within each fund, the City Manager or his designee may transfer funds within and between programs and departments.

Budgetary control, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount, is exercised at the category level, with the exception of the CIP . The budgetary control for the CIP is at the program level. Generally, there are two types of budget transfers:

Budget Adjustment
This is a transfer that does not change the total appropriated amount within a fund. Approval may be granted by the City Manager or designee.

Department heads have discretion to reapportion funds between certain line-items within a program, but may not exceed the total appropriated amounts for each category.

Budget Amendment
This is an adjustment to the total appropriated amount within a fund, which was not included in the original budget. These supplemental appropriations require formal approval by the City Council.

Types of modifications can be categorized as follows:
• Unanticipated revenue, which was not projected in the budget, may be appropriated by Council for expenditure in the fiscal year received.
• Prior year reserves or fund balances may be appropriated to fund items not previously included in the adopted budget. The appropriation of reserves in the case of emergencies or unusual circumstances requires approval by the City Council.
• Transfers between funds require formal approval by the City Council.

Unexpended appropriations automatically lapse at the end of the fiscal year, and are included in the ending fund balance calculations within each fund.

II. BUDGET POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
A. Policy
The City Manager shall submit a proposed budget to the City Council each year. It is the stated policy of the Council and City Manager that ongoing revenues match or exceed ongoing appropriations.

B. Budget Basis
The budgets of general government type funds (for example, the General Fund itself, and gas tax funds) are prepared on a modified accrual basis. This means that obligations of the City are budgeted as expenses, but revenues are recognized only when measurable and available.

The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) shows the status of the City’s finances on the basis of “generally accepted accounting principles” (GAAP). In most cases, this conforms to the way the City prepares the budget. One exception is the treatment of compensated absences. Compensated absences, compensatory time and vacation leave, are treated slightly different in the budget than in the ACFR.

C. Budget Responsibility
The department heads are responsible for preparing their budget requests and department revenues in accordance with the guidelines provided by the City Manager and Budget Officer. The Department of Administrative Services provides cost experience data as required by City departments. The Department of Administrative Services prepares all other revenue, debt service, and reserve estimates.

THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

D. Budget Preparation
The process of developing the operating budget begins officially in January of each year. The budget preparation process provides the City Management an opportunity to examine programs, to propose changes in current services, to recommend revisions in organizations and methods, and to outline requirements for capital outlay items.

E. Operating Budget
Ongoing operating costs should be supported by ongoing, stable revenue sources. This protects the City from fluctuating service levels and avoids crises when one-time revenues are reduced or removed. Listed below are some corollaries to this policy.
• Funding of Ongoing Operating and Maintenance Costs
Funding of ongoing operating and maintenance costs, such as street resurfacing and trail maintenance, should be financed through recurring operating revenues. • Contingency Appropriation
Fund balances or contingency accounts should be used only for one-time expenditures, such as capital equipment and capital improvements. Each year’s budget may include a General Fund Contingency appropriation to cover one-time unforeseen expenditures or new projects initiated after a fiscal year has begun. • Operating Reserve
General Fund operating reserves are vital in building financial resiliency and are a critical component of the budget, as this funding source can be accessed in case of an emergency or unforeseen opportunity.

The current Council approved general fund operating reserve policy is a minimum of 20 percent of general fund operating expenditures as reflected in unassigned general fund balance in the City’s financial statements. As a best practice, the minimum 20 percent level will be periodically reviewed and adjustments will be made as needed to support the City’s General Obligation (GO) bond rating from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”).
• Funding of Other Post-Employment Benefits
Funding of other post-employment benefits will be based on an actuarially-accepted method to maintain a funded position. The extent of the City’s other post-employment benefits and its contribution to them will be adjusted annually as necessary to fund its actuarially-required contribution to accumulate assets to pay benefits when due. Furthermore, an irrevocable trust has been established in which said contributions are deposited and from which related expenses are paid.
• Funding of Annual Overlay and Slurry Program
At least $1 million of transportation related funding shall annually fund the annual overlay and slurry program.
• Fluctuating Federal Grants
Fluctuating federal grants should not be used to fund ongoing programs.

F. Revenue and Expenditure Forecasting
• Formal historic trend analysis will be performed and updated in preparation for the annual budget development and during the midyear budget review process. • Ongoing analysis will be maintained to determine whether revenues or expenditures will deviate from their long-term trends over the next five years.
• Whenever necessary, independent revenue forecasting will be performed on major revenue sources, such as for sales tax and property tax revenue.

ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET & CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2025-2026THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

Page 61 of 239 ends

Fiscal Policies
G. Long-Term Financial Planning
• At a minimum, a long-term, multi-year financial plan including a five-year projection of General Fund revenues and expenditures (i.e. the Five-Y ear General Fund Forecast), will be maintained in order to identify potential future issues and possible solutions. • Revenue and expenditure decisions are to be made primarily from a long-term perspective and tied to impacts on operations.
• The goal is to maintain structural balance for all funds.

H. Revenue Policies
A diversified and stable revenue system will be maintained to ensure fiscal health and absorb short run fluctuations in any one revenue source. User fees for all operations will be examined and adjusted annually to ensure that fees cover the direct and indirect costs of service where appropriate.

Development fees for one-time capital expenditures attributed to new development will be reviewed annually to ensure that fees match development related expenditures.

All applicable fees will be reviewed and adjusted annually according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to maintain cost recovery levels.

I. Cost Allocation
The purpose of the City’s cost allocation from its Internal Service funds is to charge the departments for City resources that are being used by the individual departments and funds.

1. Self-Insurance Fund Allocation
The self-insurance fund is used to account for the cost of the City’s insurance premiums (such as general liability, property, and automobile insurance), as well as claims adjuster services and legal costs. Cost is allocated to each division using the exposure and budget methodology.

2. Equipment Replacement Allocation
The equipment replacement fund is used to account for the acquisition, depreciation, and replacement of City vehicles and large equipment. Consistent with the City’s Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Policy, charges to departments are calculated based on the annual depreciation for vehicles used by each department.

3. Computer Replacement Allocation
The computer replacement fund is used to account for the acquisition, depreciation, and replacement of computers and related equipment. Charges to departments are calculated based on the number of computer work stations supported by the Technology Services staff in each department.

J. Long-Term Capital Planning/Budget
The five-year CIP shall be prepared and updated each year. Although this plan may include “unfunded” projects that carry out the City’s strategic and general plans, it must also include a capital spending plan that identifies projects that can be completed with known funding sources, including cash reserves, future net operating revenues, grants, or debt, over the next five years. Each department must, when planning capital projects, estimate the project’s impact on the City’s operating budget.

Amendments to capital appropriations fall under the same guidelines as changes to the operating budget, with one exception: any project change exceeding the Council approved contingency must receive specific City Council approval. This approval can be made by motion rather than resolution, and may accompany a recommendation for award of bid, change order, or other Council action. While this approval is not a strict legal requirement, it serves to keep the Council informed on capital activity and funding, and ensures that revisions of project priorities are in line with Council expectations.

K. Budget Review
During the budget review phase, the City Manager’s Office, in conjunction with the Department of Administrative Services, analyzes new positions, and operating and capital budget requests. This information is then compiled and presented to the City Manager. The Budget Team, comprised of the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Assistant to the City Manager, City Treasurer, Finance Manager, Human Resources Director, Senior Finance Administrator, and Management Analyst conduct meetings with each department to review their estimated expenditures for the current fiscal year and the proposed base-line requests and enhancements for the proposed budget year. At the completion of these meetings, the Department of Administrative Services again compiles all the financial data and presents the proposed budget to the City Manager for final review and budget preparation.

L. Budget Adoption
The City Manager presents, via publicly noticed study sessions, the budget to the City Council. A public hearing is held and, after modifications and revisions, the budget is adopted by resolution of the City Council.

M. Budget Implementation
A budgetary control system will be maintained to ensure compliance with the budget. The Department of Administrative Services is responsible for setting up the budget for tracking purposes, and is charged with ensuring fund availability during the year to cover expenditures and appropriations. Reports comparing the budget with expenditures are available on an ongoing basis, for review by the departments.

N. Budget Revision
The City Council approves total budgeted appropriations throughout the year. Actual expenditures may not exceed budgeted appropriations at the category level (e.g., Personnel, Operations & Maintenance, and Capital Outlay). The City Manager or designee is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts at the fund level. The City has the following programs accounted for through its governmental funds: general government, public safety, recreation and community services, community development, public works, neighborhood services, and capital expenditures. Use of unappropriated reserves must be specifically approved by the City Council.

The City Manager may approve any unused appropriations at the end of each fiscal year for capital projects, special projects, and grant programs, which shall be carried forward and become part of the budget for the ensuing fiscal year. All purchase order commitments outstanding at the end of the fiscal year may be continued and become part of next fiscal year’s budget.

III. DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
This Debt Management Policy sets forth certain debt management objectives for the City, and establishes overall parameters for issuing and administering the City’s debt, recognizing that cost-effective access to the capital markets depends on prudent management of the City’s debt program. The intent of the debt management policy, among other things, is to be in compliance with Senate Bill 1029 (SB 1029). The City is committed to financial planning, maintaining appropriate reserves levels and employing prudent practices in governance, management and budget administration. It is a policy goal of the City to protect taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents by utilizing conservative financing methods, debt levels and techniques so as to obtain the highest practical credit ratings (if applicable) and the lowest practical borrowing costs.

Debt Management Objectives
The purpose of this Debt Management Policy is to assist the City in pursuit of the following equally-important objectives:
• Minimize debt service and issuance costs;
• Maintain access to cost-effective borrowing;
• Ensure that the City’s debt is consistent with the City’s long-term goals and objectives and capital improvement program or budget, as applicable;
• Achieve the highest practical credit rating;
• Full and timely repayment of debt;
• Maintain full and complete financial disclosure and reporting; • Ensure compliance with applicable State and Federal laws; • Ensure that proceeds from a debt sale will be directed to the intended use; and • Ensure appropriate reporting as required by State and Federal Laws.

Fiscal Policies
General Provisions
A. Scope of Application
These policies establish the parameters within which debt may be issued by the City of Santa Clarita and the City of Santa Clarita Public Financing Authority. Additionally, these policies apply to debt issued by the City on behalf of assessment, community facilities, or other special districts, and conduit-type financing by the City for industrial development projects or other public purposes.

Policy guidelines regulating the use of public financing mechanisms to finance public facilities supported by special taxes and assessments has been adopted by Resolution 05-119 “ A Resolution of the City of Santa Clarita, California, Approving Adoption of the Restated and Amended Local Public Agency Goals and Policies for Community Facilities Districts. ” Specifically, these guidelines address the City’s use of Communities Facilities Districts established pursuant to the Mello Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, and special assessment districts established pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911, the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, and the Improvement Bond Act of 1915.

The City Council, as a member of Joint Powers Authorities shall take these policies into account when considering the issuance of Joint Powers Authority debt.

Supplemental policies, tailored to the specifics of certain types of financings, may be adopted by the City Council in the future. These supplemental policies may address, but are not limited to, the City’s general obligation, lease revenue, enterprise, and land-secured financings.

The City intends to issue debt for the purposes stated in this Debt Management Policy and to implement policy decisions incorporated in the City’s capital budget and the capital improvement plan. The City shall integrate its debt issuances with the goals of its capital improvement program by timing the issuance of debt and the level of debt issuance to ensure that projects are available when needed in furtherance of the City’s public purposes and to avoid having to make unplanned expenditures for capital improvements or equipment from its general fund.

B. Responsibility for Debt Management Activity
As delegated by the City Manager, the Department of Administrative Services shall be responsible for managing and coordinating all activities related to the issuance and administration of debt.

Departments implementing debt-financed capital programs will work in partnership with the Department of Administrative Services to provide information and otherwise facilitate the issuance and administration of debt.

1. Debt Management Policy Review and Approval
This policy shall be adopted by City Council resolution, and reviewed annually by the City Manager to ensure its consistency with respect to the City’s debt management objectives. Any modifications to this policy shall be forwarded to the City Council for approval by resolution.

2. Debt Administration Activities
Under the direction of the City Manager, the Department of Administrative Services is responsible for the City’s debt administration activities, particularly the use and investment of bond proceeds, compliance with bond covenants, continuing disclosure, reporting, and arbitrage compliance, which shall be centralized within the department.

C. Purposes for Which Debt May Be Issued

1. Long-term Borrowing
Long-term borrowing may be used to finance the acquisition or improvement of land, facilities, or equipment for which it is appropriate to spread these costs over more than one budget year. Long-term borrowing may also be used to fund capitalized interest, costs of issuance, required reserves, and any other financing-related costs which may be legally capitalized. The final maturity of long-term debt issued to finance capital project shall not exceed the economic or useful life of the project and, unless the City Council determines that extraordinary circumstances exist. Tax-exempt long-term borrowing shall not be used to fund City operating costs unless allowable under Federal Tax Law and the City has no other options. Taxable borrowing may be considered if the City receives a benefit from doing so.

THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

Page 64 of 239 ends

2. Short-term Borrowing
Short-term borrowing, such as commercial paper and lines of credit, will be considered as an interim source of funding in anticipation of long-term borrowing. Short-term debt may be issued for any purpose for which long- term debt may be issued, including capitalized interest and other financing-related costs. Prior to issuance of the short-term debt, a reliable revenue source shall be identified to secure repayment of the debt. The final maturity of short-term debt issued to finance the project shall be consistent with the economic or useful life of the project and, unless the City Council determines that extraordinary circumstances exist. Additionally, short-term borrowing may be considered if available cash is insufficient to meet short-term operating needs.

3. Refunding
Periodic reviews of outstanding debt will be undertaken to identify refunding opportunities. Refunding will be considered (within Federal tax law constraints) if and when there is a net economic benefit of the refunding.

In general, and consistent with industry standards, refundings which produce a net present value savings of at least three percent of the refunded debt will be considered economically viable provided the refunded debt is callable within 90 days. Refundings with negative savings will not be considered unless there is a compelling public policy objective that is accomplished by retiring the debt. Refundings which are non-economic may be undertaken to achieve City objectives relating to changes in covenants, call provisions, operational flexibility, tax status, issuer, or the debt service profile. The refunding of debt which is callable in more than 90 days (a taxable advance refunding) shall require net present value savings of greater than three percent and should be in the four percent to five percent range or higher, depending on the time to the call date. Refundings which produce a net present value savings of less than those identified above can be considered on a case-by-case basis.

D. Debt Issuance

1. Debt Capacity
The City will keep outstanding debt within the limits of any applicable law, and at levels consistent with its credit worthiness objectives. The City will strive to maintain a bond rating of AA or higher from the primary bond rating agencies on its general fund debt.

The City shall assess the impact of new debt issuance on the long-term affordability of all outstanding and planned debt issuance. Such analysis recognizes that the City has limited capacity for debt service in its budget, and that each newly issued financing will obligate the City to a series of payments until the bonds are repaid. The impact of proposed new debt will be reviewed together with the City’s five-year revenue and expense projections.

2. Types of Debt
IIn order to maximize the financial options available to benefit the public, it is the policy of the City to allow for the consideration of issuing all generally accepted types of debt, including, but not exclusive to the following:

General Obligation (GO) Bonds: General Obligation Bonds are suitable for use in the construction or acquisition of improvements to real property that benefit the public at large and are secured by an ad valorem tax on property. Examples of projects include public building, land acquisition, and public infrastructure improvements.

All GO bonds shall be authorized as required by State Law by the requisite number of voters in order to pass.

Special Revenue Bonds: Revenue Bonds are limited-liability obligations tied to a specific enterprise, sales taxes or special fund revenue stream where the projects financed clearly benefit or relate to the enterprise or are otherwise permissible uses of the special revenue. An example of projects in the City that would be financed by a Revenue Bond would be transit or parking improvements. Generally, no voter approval is required to issue this type of obligation, but in some cases the City must comply with Proposition 218 regarding rate adjustments.

Lease-Backed Debt/Certificates of Participation (Lease Revenue Bonds/COPs): Issuance of Lease-backed debt is a commonly used form of debt that allows a City to finance projects where the debt service is secured via a lease agreement and where the payments are budgeted in the annual budget appropriation by the City from the general fund. Lease-backed debt does not constitute indebtedness under the state or the City’s constitutional debt limit and does not require voter approval. Lease Revenue Bonds may be issued by the Public Financing Authority on behalf of the City. Examples of projects that could be financed include public buildings, equipment, open space or other land purchase, judgement against the City, and other projects allowed by law. The City may also enter into capital and operating leases.

ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET & CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2025-2026THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

Page 65 of 239 ends

Fiscal Policies
Special Assessment/Special District Debt: The City has approved a separate comprehensive land secured debt policy.

Under this policy the City will consider requests from developers for the use of debt financing secured by property- based assessments or special taxes in order to provide for necessary infrastructure for new development only under strict guidelines adopted by City Council, which may include minimum value-to-lien ratios and maximum tax burdens. Examples of this type of debt are Assessment Districts (ADs) and Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) or more commonly known as Mello-Roos Districts. In order to protect bondholders, as well as the City’s credit rating, the City will also comply with all State guidelines regarding the issuance of special district or special assessment debt, as well as Resolution No. 05-119. The City shall also be able to issue debt secured by the City’s landscape and lighting assessment districts and any other Citywide or regional special assessment or special tax districts.

Tax Allocation Bonds: Tax Allocation Bonds are special obligations that are secured by the allocation of tax increment revenues that are generated by increased property taxes in the designated redevelopment area. Tax Allocation Bonds are not debt of the City. Due to changes in the law affecting California redevelopment agencies with the passage of ABX1 26 (as amended, the Dissolution Act) as codified in the California Health and Safety Code, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clarita (RDA) was dissolved as of February 1, 2012, and its operations substantially eliminated but for the continuation of certain enforceable RDA obligations to be administered by the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clarita (Successor Agency). The Successor Agency may issue Tax Allocation Bonds to refinance outstanding obligations of the RDA, subject to limitations included in the Dissolution Act.

Private Activity Bonds: The City, if authorized under Federal Tax Law, may issue private activity bonds for housing, non-profit or not for profit health care or education or pollution control, manufacturing, and other projects provided the debt has a clear public purpose and is conduit debt with no city repayment obligation. The interest on the bonds can be exempt from Federal and State taxation. As a result, bonds provide below market financing for qualified projects.

Pension Bonds: The City may issue taxable pension bonds, if needed, to meet its pension obligation or OPEB requirements. This type of debt is to be secured by the City General Fund and only issued after independent study and evaluation by a qualified actuarial consultant the City’s municipal advisor, and bond counsel.

Capital Appreciation Bonds: Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABs) are deep discount bonds that pay investors the face value of the bond upon maturing. CABs are primarily used to better match a project’s cash flow to the bond’s debt service. The City’s use of CABs may be a market driven decision as determined by the City Treasurer and Municipal Advisor.

The City may from time to time find that other forms of debt would be beneficial to further its public purposes and may approve such debt without an amendment of this Debt Management Policy.

3. Credit Quality
The City seeks to obtain and maintain the highest possible credit ratings for all categories of short-and long-term debt and strive to maintain bond ratings of AA or better by S&P . The City will not issue bonds directly or on behalf of others, such as private activity bonds that do not carry investment grade ratings unless such bonds are privately placed with appropriate resale restrictions. The City will consider the public issuance of non-rated special assessment and community facilities bonds, but only upon recommendation of a municipal financial advisor and provided such bond sale meets the requirements of the City’s land secured debt policy.

THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

Page 66 of 239 ends

4. Structural Features
A. Debt Repayment
Debt will be structured for a period consistent with a fair allocation of costs to current and future beneficiaries of the financed capital project. The City shall structure its debt issues so that the maturity of the debt issue is consistent with the economic or useful life of the capital project to be financed. Consistent with S&P’s analytical characterization of ratios, annual debt service to be paid by the City General Fund shall not exceed eight percent of general fund expenses unless required under special circumstances.

B. Variable-Rate Debt
The City may choose to issue securities that pay a rate of interest that varies according to a pre-determined formula or results from a periodic remarketing of the securities. Such issuance must be consistent with applicable law and covenants of pre-existing bonds, and in an aggregate amount consistent with the City’s credit worthiness objectives. When making the determination to issue bonds in a variable rate mode, consideration will be given in regards to the useful life of the project or facility being financed or the term of the project requiring the funding, market conditions, and the overall debt portfolio structure when issuing variable rate debt for any purpose. In accordance with Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA ’s) recommended evaluation of variable rate debt, variable debt shall not represent more than twenty percent of the City’s debt obligations.

C. Derivatives
Derivative products, such as interest rate swaps, may have application to certain City borrowing programs.

In certain circumstances, these products can reduce borrowing cost and assist in managing interest rate risk.

However, these products carry with them certain risks not faced in standard debt instruments. The City Manager or designee shall evaluate the use of derivative products on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the potential benefits are sufficient to offset any potential costs.

D. Professional Assistance
The City shall utilize the services of independent municipal financial advisors and bond counsel on all debt financings. The City Manager or designee shall have the authority to periodically select service providers as necessary to meet legal requirements and minimize net City debt costs. Such services, depending on the type of financing, may include bond and disclosure counsel, municipal financial advisor, underwriter, trustee, verification agent, escrow agent, arbitrage consultant, and special tax consultant. The goal in selecting service providers, whether through a competitive process or sole-source selection, is to achieve an appropriate balance between service and cost.

E. Method of Sale
Except to the extent a competitive process is required by law, the City Manager or designee shall be responsible for determining the appropriate manner in which to offer any securities to investors. The City’s preferred method of sale is competitive bid. However, other methods such as negotiated sale and private placement may be considered on a case-by-case basis. From time to time, the City may elect to issue debt on a private placement basis. Such method shall only be considered if it is demonstrated to result in cost savings or provide other advantages relative to other methods of debt issuance, or if it is determined that access to the public market is unavailable and timing considerations require that a financing be completed.

F. Special Bond Reserve Funds and Bond Insurance
The City may consider eliminating bond reserve funds so long as the elimination does not materially reduce the credit rating of the bonds. The City may also consider bond insurance, bank letters of credit, or other forms of guarantee or bond reserve fund surety policies, so long as premium or costs are more than offset by a reduction in interest cost.

Fiscal Policies
Debt Administration
A. Use and Investment of Bond Proceeds
Investments of bond proceeds shall be consistent with federal tax requirements, the City’s Post-Issuance Compliance Policy and Investment Policy as modified from time to time, and with requirements contained in the governing bond documents.

B. Disclosure Practices and Arbitrage Compliance

1. Financial Disclosure
The City is committed to full and complete primary and secondary market financial disclosure in accordance with disclosure requirements established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Municipal Securities Rule-making Board (MSRB), as may be amended from time to time, as more fully set forth in the Disclosure Procedures Policy. The City is also committed to cooperating fully with rating agencies, institutional and individual investors, other levels of government, and the general public to share clear, timely, and accurate financial information.

2. Arbitrage Compliance
The Department of Administrative Services shall maintain a system of record keeping and reporting to meet the arbitrage compliance requirements of federal tax law as more fully described in the Post-Issuance Compliance Policy.

IV. POST-ISSUANCE COMPLIANCE POLICY
A. Purpose
This Post-Issuance Compliance Policy sets forth procedures and guidelines in order to comply with certain federal tax requirements applicable to tax-exempt bonds and other debt obligations subsequent to the issuance of such debt, including the monitoring of the use of bond proceeds, arbitrage yield restrictions, and rebate and record retention.

B. Objective
It is the policy of the City to adhere to all applicable federal tax requirements with respect to tax-exempt obligations of the City and related entities as set forth in the applicable bond documents including, but not limited to, requirements relating to the use of proceeds and facilities financed and refinanced with tax-exempt obligations, arbitrage yield restrictions and rebate, timely return filings, and other general tax requirements set forth in the applicable bond documents. In furtherance of this general policy, this Post-Issuance Compliance Policy addresses compliance monitoring and record retention with respect to such tax-exempt obligations.

C. Compliance Monitoring
Consistent with the covenants of the issuer contained in applicable bond documents, the City or related entity, as issuer, will monitor compliance with the federal tax requirements applicable to its tax-exempt obligations. The City Treasurer is primarily responsible for monitoring compliance with those requirements. The City Treasurer may assign and delegate responsibilities as he or she deems necessary or appropriate. These officers will receive training with regard to their compliance monitoring responsibilities including consultations with professional advisors and review of written alerts and materials. The City will conduct compliance checks at least annually.

If the City discovers a potential violation of a federal tax requirement, it will promptly take appropriate action, as needed, to maintain the tax exemption of tax-exempt obligations, including consultation with professional advisors and taking remedial actions.

D. Record Retention
In accordance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements, the City will retain bond transcripts; in addition to documentation showing the following with respect to tax-exempt obligations:
• Expenditure of proceeds for the financed facilities;
• Use of the financed facilities by the City, the general public or any third parties (including, for example, any use under a management contract, research agreement, lease, joint venture, or partnership arrangement); • Sources of payment and security for the tax-exempt obligations; • Investment of proceeds, including the purchase and sale of securities, State and Local Government Series (SLGS) subscriptions, guaranteed investment contracts, investment income received, yield calculations, and arbitrage rebate calculations;

THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

Page 68 of 239 ends

• All returns filed with the IRS for the tax-exempt obligations (including, as applicable, IRS Forms 8038-G, 8038-T and 8038-R); and
• Any other documentation that is material to the exclusion of interest on the tax-exempt obligations from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Except as otherwise set forth in the bond documents, the City will retain the records described above in hard and/or electronic copy format for so long as the applicable tax-exempt obligations remain outstanding and for a period of three years after final redemption of the tax-exempt obligations. With respect to tax-exempt obligations that are refunding bonds, the City will retain the above-described records for the refunding and refunded bonds (and any earlier issue in the case of a series of refundings).

The City Treasurer is responsible for retaining the records described above relating to the tax-exempt obligations.

The City Treasurer may assign and delegate responsibilities for record retention as he or she deems necessary or appropriate.

E. Coordination with Bond Documents
In the event of any conflict between this Post-Issuance Compliance Policy and the bond documents, the bond documents shall govern.

V. DISCLOSURE PROCEDURES POLICY
A. Purpose
This Disclosure Procedures Policy is intended to ensure compliance with securities law requirements applicable to the City’s or related entity’s tax-exempt obligations. In offering tax-exempt obligations to the public, and at other times when the City makes certain reports, the City must comply with the “anti-fraud rules” of federal securities laws. When such obligations are offered, the two central disclosure documents are prepared, a preliminary official statement (POS) and a final official statement (OS, and collectively with the POS, Official Statement). The Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12, as amended (the Rule) requires certain information regarding an entity responsible for the repayment of a municipal security be disclosed to the municipal marketplace. Pursuant to the Rule, the City is required on an ongoing basis to provide certain financial and operating data to those persons and firms who own or are interested in such obligations. The City has entered or will enter into a number of undertakings under the Rule (each, a “Continuing Disclosure Undertaking”).

B. Initial Disclosure
When the City determines to issue tax-exempt obligations directly, the City Treasurer shall request the involved departments to prepare, review or update portions of the Official Statement within their particular areas of knowledge for which they are responsible. The information contained in the Official Statement is developed by personnel under the direction of the City Treasurer, with the assistance of the financing team, including the bond counsel, disclosure counsel, City Attorney and a municipal financial advisor, if one is engaged with respect to such obligations.

Members of the financing team shall assist staff in determining the materiality of any particular item, and in the development of specific language for the Official Statement. Once the draft POS has been substantially updated, the entire draft POS is reviewed in its entirety to obtain final comments and to allow the underwriters, if any, to ask questions of the City’s senior officials.

A substantially final form of the POS is provided to the City Council in advance of approval, generally by including the document with the agenda material relating to the approval of the obligations, to afford such City Council an opportunity to review the POS, ask questions and make comments.

C. Continuing Disclosure Filings

1. Overview of Continuing Disclosure Filings
Under the Continuing Disclosure Undertakings it has entered into in connection with the Obligations, the City is required to file annual reports with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s (MSRB) Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) system in accordance with such agreements in each year. Such annual reports are required to include certain updated financial and operating information (or may refer to a publicly-available document), which varies among the different obligations issued by the City, and the City audited financial statements. The City is also required under the continuing disclosure undertakings to file notices of certain events with EMMA.

2. Key Participants
A Disclosure Practices Working Group (Disclosure Working Group) has been created by the City Treasurer to have general oversight over the entire continuing disclosure process. The Disclosure Working Group shall consist of the City Treasurer, a disclosure coordinator, and any other individuals appointed by the City Treasurer. The Disclosure Working Group shall consult with finance team members or other interested parties, including the City’s municipal financial advisor and disclosure counsel, as the City Treasurer determines is advisable related to continuing disclosure issues and practices. The Disclosure Working Group is an internal working group of City staff and not a decision-making or advisory body. The Disclosure Working Group is responsible for reviewing and approving all Continuing Disclosure Undertakings as contained in Official Statements before such documents are released and reviewing annually the City’s status and compliance with Continuing Disclosure Undertakings and this Disclosure Policy. “Continuing Disclosure Documents” means (a) annual continuing disclosure reports filed with the MSRB and (b) notices of enumerated events and any other filings with the MSRB.

The City Treasurer may direct questions regarding this policy or disclosure to a disclosure consultant, disclosure counsel, bond counsel or the City Attorney or such other counsel or consultant he/she deems appropriate. Additionally, the City Treasurer shall be responsible for:
a) Monitoring compliance by the City with this Disclosure Policy, including timely dissemination of the annual report and event filings;
b) Together with the Disclosure Consultant, coordinating the timely provision of information to the Disclosure Consultant as needed to fulfill its responsibilities to the City; c) In anticipation of preparing Continuing Disclosure Documents, soliciting “material” information (as defined in Securities and Exchange Rule 10b-5) from City departments; and d) Maintaining records documenting the City’s compliance with this Disclosure Policy.

Disclosure Coordinator
The City Treasurer, in consultation with the other members of the Disclosure Working Group, shall select and appoint the Disclosure Coordinator, who shall be a Department of Administrative Services staff member and who shall be responsible for:
a) Preparing the Continuing Disclosure Documents and providing same to the dissemination agent for filing with EMMA, to the extent not undertaken by the Disclosure Consultant; b) Serving as a “point person” for personnel to communicate issues or information that should be or may need to be included in any Continuing Disclosure Document; c) Following up with others, including management of outside consultants assisting the City, in the preparation and dissemination of Continuing Disclosure Documents to make sure that assigned tasks have been completed on a timely basis and making sure that the filings are made on a timely basis and are accurate; and
d) Together with the City Treasurer, coordinating the timely provision of information to the Disclosure Consultant as needed to fulfill its responsibilities to the City.

Disclosure Consultant
The City Treasurer may hire a Disclosure Consultant. The Disclosure Consultant shall have significant expertise and experience related to on-going disclosure requirements for municipal securities. The Disclosure Consultant is responsible for:
a) Preparing or assisting in the preparation of the final form of Continuing Disclosure Documents, and providing same to the dissemination agent for filing with EMMA, to the extent not otherwise undertaken by the Disclosure Coordinator;
b) Reviewing Continuing Disclosure Documents and other relevant information, consulting with appropriate City staff or interested parties needed to confirm that the City is meeting its Continuing Disclosure Undertakings;
c) Assisting the Disclosure Coordinator; and
d) Such other items as assigned to the Disclosure Consultant by the City Treasurer in writing.

3. Annual Reports
The Disclosure Coordinator shall ensure that the preparation of the City’s annual reports shall commence as required under each specific continuing disclosure obligation. Before any annual report is submitted to EMMA, the Disclosure Coordinator shall confer with other key participants as needed regarding the content and accuracy of any annual report.

4. Enumerated Event Filings
If any key participant responsible for disclosure becomes aware of any of the enumerated events listed in any of the City’s Continuing Disclosure Undertakings, the City Treasurer will meet with other key participants to discuss the event and determine the extent it is material and whether a filing is required or is otherwise desirable as determined by the City Treasurer.

As a result of an amendment to SEC Rule 15c2-12, Continuing Disclosure Undertakings entered into on or after February 27, 2019, are required to include certain additional listed events relating to (a) the incurrence of certain financial obligations if material (other than bonds or notes for which an official statement has been posted to EMMA), (b) the modification of the terms of a financial obligation which affects security holders, if material, and (c) a default, event of default, acceleration, waiver or other modification or similar events with respect to a financial obligation that reflects financial difficulties.

The City Treasurer shall be notified by a key participant of the incurrence of any financial obligation to be entered into by or on behalf of the City and take measures to advise all applicable City staff of this City policy. As soon as the City Treasurer receives notice from City staff, consultants or external parties of such event or receives direct written notice of such event so that the City can determine, with the assistance of the municipal advisor and bond counsel and/or disclosure counsel, whether notice of such event is required to be filed on EMMA pursuant to the Rule. The Disclosure Coordinator will maintain a list identifying the execution by the City of any agreement or other obligation which might constitute a “financial obligation” for purposes of the Rule and which is entered into after February 27, 2019.

5. Disclosure Required by SB1029
The City shall comply with all provisions of SB 1029 including the applicable pre-issuance and post-issuance reporting requirements.

6. Education
The City Treasurer shall ensure that the Disclosure Coordinator is properly trained to understand and perform its responsibilities. Such training may include training sessions conducted by consultants with expertise in municipal securities disclosure or by the Disclosure Consultant, attendance at conferences, or other appropriate methods identified by the City Treasurer.

VI. ANNUAL AUDIT POLICY
Sound accounting practices suggest that an annual audit is a prudent business decision. The City requires an annual audit by a qualified independent accountant of the books of account, financial records, inventories and reports of all City officers and employees involved in the handling of financial matters. In compliance with the requirement of an annual audit, a firm of Certified Public Accountants will complete the audit for the fiscal year ending June 30.

VII. FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
A. Accounting System and Budgetary Control
In developing and evaluating the City’s accounting systems, consideration is given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls.

Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding:
• The safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and • The reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets.

The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that:
• The cost of a specific control feature should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and • The evaluation of costs and benefits require estimates and judgments by management.

ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET & CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2025-2026THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

Page 71 of 239 ends

Fiscal Policies
All evaluations of the City’s system of internal control will continue to occur within the above framework. The City’s internal accounting controls must adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.

B. Fund Descriptions
The City’s accounting records are organized and operate on a “fund” basis, which is the basic fiscal accounting entity in governmental accounting. Each fund is designed by fund type and classification:
• Governmental Funds – General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects • Proprietary Fund – Enterprise and Internal Service
• Fiduciary Funds – Custodial, Private-purpose, Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) • Account Groups – General Fixed Assets and General Long-Term Debt C. Governmental Funds
Governmental Funds are used to account for the City’s expendable financial resources and related current liabilities, except for those accounted for in proprietary funds. The basic financial statements necessary to fairly present financial position and operating results for governmental funds are the balance sheet and the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance. Governmental funds are maintained using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
• General Fund – Accounts for all the general revenue of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds, and for expenditures related to the rendering of general services by the City. • Special Revenue Fund – Accounts for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted by law or administrative action for specified purposes.
• Debt Service Fund – Accounts for accumulation of resources for, and payment of, interest and principal on long-term debt.
• Capital Project Fund – Accounts for financial resources used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds).

D. Proprietary Funds
Generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a private commercial business are applicable to proprietary funds of a governmental entity. The accrual basis of accounting is utilized. The measurement focus is based upon a determination of net income, financial position and cash flows. Accordingly, basic financial statements are required, such as balance sheet, statement of revenues, expenses and changes in retained earnings (deficit), and the statement of cash flows.
• Enterprise Fund – Accounts for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private enterprises, where the intent of City Council is that the cost and expense, including depreciation and amortization, of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or where periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.
• Internal Service Fund – Accounts for activities involved in rendering services to departments within the City. Costs of materials and services used are accumulated in these funds and are charged to the user departments as such goods are delivered or services rendered.

E. Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary Funds are maintained to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity for individuals, private organizations, other governments and other funds.
• Custodial Funds – Accounts for assets held by the City on behalf of others. • Other Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Fund – Accounts for other post-employment benefit assets held in a qualifying trust.
• Private-purpose Trust Fund – Accounts for funds held in a qualifying trust for specific purposes.

THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

F. Account Groups
Account Groups are used to establish accounting control and accountability for the City’s general fixed assets and general long-term debt.
• General Fixed Assets Account Group – Accounts for long-term assets of the City, except for those accounted for in proprietary fund types.
• General Long-Term Account Group – Accounts for long-term debt of the City, except for debt accounted for in proprietary fund types.

G. Fund Classifications
In February 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This statement establishes fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported in governmental funds. The fund balance classifications are: Non-Spendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned.
• Non-Spendable – That portion of fund balance that includes amounts that are not in a spendable form (inventory, for example) or are required to be maintained intact (the principal of an endowment fund, for example).
• Restricted – That portion of fund balance that includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by external resource providers (for example, grant providers), constitutionally, or through enabling legislation (that is, legislation that creates a new revenue source and restricts its use).

Effectively, restrictions may be changed or lifted only with the consent of resource providers. • Committed – That portion of fund balance that includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority.

Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the government taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally.
• Assigned – That portion of fund balance that comprises amounts intended to be used for specific purposes, but that are neither restricted nor committed. Such intent can be expressed either by the governing body or by an official designated for that purpose. Resolution of the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita No. 11-54 delegates the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes to the City Treasurer for the purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements. • Unassigned – That portion of fund balance that includes all amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available for any purpose.

The City’s fund balance is classified under the five fund balance classifications.

VIII. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City of Santa Clarita has insurance coverages for various liability exposures, including Property, General Liability, and Worker’s Compensation. These coverages are provided by the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), a self-insurance risk pool comprised of over 120 members. Through its program, CJPIA provides $50 million in coverage for third-party general liability claims. Risk Management administers the funding of the self-insured portions of the program; manages the administration of general liability, worker’s compensation, and property damage claims; works in conjunction with the City Attorney’s Office and outside counsel to monitor, control and resolve litigated matters; and provides training to minimize the risk of future losses.

The Risk Management program provides centralized services to all City departments for risk management, loss control, and safety. Primary activities include a yearly review of the City’s comprehensive insurance program, including coverage for property/casualty, professional administration of the City’s self-insured retention, loss prevention, and safety programs.
