MISSION STATEMENT
The Marine Safety Department provides the highest quality safety services in the coastal and aquatic environment for the public through prevention, education, rescue, medical aid, outreach, beach management, and enforcement.
PRIMARY ACTIVITIES
Safety Services
The Marine Safety staff provides public safety through many different functions. Ocean Lifeguards provide the frontline defense of the protection of life, limb, and property to the ocean going residents and visitors. Marine Safety full time staff members provide training, certification, education, and daily oversight of lifeguard operations. In addition, full time staff members are highly skilled in aquatic rescue, boat operation, rescue watercraft operation, CPR/AED instructors, and incident command. Marine Safety staff respond to major medical aids, ocean rescues, enforcement of municipal codes, and the prevention of aquatic accidents through education.
Lifeguards – 0828
The Beach Lifeguard's primary activities involve safety of the beach going public. Ocean Lifeguards protect an assigned area of beach from a station, or in some instances, patrol a section of beach in a mobile unit, warn of hazardous conditions, rescue people in distress or in danger of drowning, answer questions and give information pertaining to the beach and ocean environment, apply first aid to those in need, remove hazardous obstacles from sand and water, take charge of lost children, advise the public regarding local beach and ocean related ordinances, regulations, safety and conduct, perform other related work as required and maintain a professional and courteous relationship with the public.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2025-2026
MANAGING DEPARTMENT HEAD: Director of Public Works
PRIMARY ACTIVITIES
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) encompasses construction projects, renovations, replacements, and equipment purchases (excluding vehicles) that generally increase asset value. It also includes activities that are either planned or occur on an irregular or one-time basis. Minor capital outlays and recurring maintenance activities are typically included in the operation and maintenance budget.
The CIP is a comprehensive plan that outlines the capital projects to be funded over a five-year horizon. Updated annually, the first year of the plan represents the current year’s capital budget. Serving as a planning tool, the CIP helps City Council systematically schedule and finance capital projects, ensuring cost-effectiveness and alignment with established policies. It is organized into the same functional groups as the operating programs. The CIP strikes a balance between projects focused on capital replacement—repairing, replacing, or enhancing existing assets—and those aimed at expanding or adding significant new fixed assets to the City’s infrastructure.
NOTE: The Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Programs are currently being reviewed to align project delivery with available funding. As a result, the FY 2025-2026 Water and Sewer CIP projects were not included in this budget and will be presented for adoption at a later date.
CIP BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Improvements within the Capital Improvement Plan are generated or identified as follows:
1. Advanced planning: Most improvements are outlined in a planning document or master plan, many of which are required by funding agencies. All master plans are adopted by the City Council. Currently, the City has the following master plans in place:
• 2008 Master Plan of Drainage
• 2012 Water Master Plan
• 2011 Street Tree Master Plan
• 2011 Facility Master Plan
• 2013 Park and Community Services Master Plan
• 2018 Sewer Master Plan
• 2019 Pier Cap Inspection
• 2020 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan • Local Signal Synchronization Plan
• 2022 Local Roadway Safety Plan
• 2024 Pavement Management Plan
• 2024 Safety Action Plan
• 2024 Fleet Modernization Analysis
• ADA Transition Plan (in progress)
2. Reaction to need or opportunity: Projects may start due to a specific need or opportunity, like the emergency response to the Seal Beach Boulevard water main break. These situations can reveal urgent problems that need quick action or create unexpected chances for improvement. In such cases, projects are developed quickly to solve immediate issues and prevent future risks. They can arise from unexpected events, changing conditions, or longterm needs. 247
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2025-2026
3. Desire from the community: Projects often arise from the needs expressed by the community, where residents, businesses, or organizations highlight areas for improvement to enhance the quality of life. These initiatives are typically based on feedback gathered from meetings, surveys, or other forms of community input. For example, as part of the budget preparation last fiscal year, public strategic planning sessions were held to allow the community to share their thoughts and suggestions. Ultimately, these projects are designed to address local concerns and meet the specific needs of the community.
PHASES OF A CIP PROJECT
The CIP will emphasize projects typically progressing through the following phases:
1. Entitlement. In certain instances, projects may undergo an entitlement process to ensure conformity to the overall General Plan and/or specific plan.
2. Permitting and Environmental Analysis. Environmental Analysis is performed on every CIP project to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and in some cases with the National Environmental Quality Act (NEPA). Permitting is required from a variety of agencies and is assessed for every project. Permits may be necessary from agencies such as the California Coastal Commission, Caltrans, Department of Fish and Wildlife, Army Corps of Engineers, State Lands Commission, County of Orange, etc.
3. Design. The Public Works Department generally retain the services of professional consultants to perform the design work, where City staff would provide project oversight. Construction documents including plans and specifications are prepared and publicly bid per applicable codes and regulations.
4. Construction. Improvements will be constructed in a manner that minimize impacts to the residents. The City employs a construction manager and/or inspector (with specialty testing) to ensure that all construction projects are carried out safely and constructed to meet the construction documents.
5. On-Going Maintenance Activities. All completed CIP projects are incorporated into the maintenance activities of the city. The maintenance staff will incorporate new facilities into routine inspections and ongoing maintenance programs. Staff will include new improvements into future maintenance budgets.
6. Equipment Acquisitions. Equipment acquisitions, including vehicles, heavy machinery, computers, office furnishings, and other items, are part of the Capital Improvement Program. These items are acquired and installed separately from construction contracts.
CATEGORIES OF CIP
The City’s CIP is categorized into the following seven major areas:
Beach and Pier. The City’s Beach and Pier are landmark tourist attractions that draw approximately two million visitors per year. The Pier is made up of a wooden deck with lighting, and utility infrastructure. The beach includes three parking lots, approximately two miles of dry sand beach, two sets of public restrooms, two parks, and landscaping.
Building and Facilities. The City’s buildings and facilities serve employees, visitors, tenants, and business owners across 22 structures, including City Hall, the Police Station, two Fire Stations, a Tennis & Pickleball Center, City maintenance yard facilities, and various recreation and community centers. A Facility Master Plan was adopted in FY 2011-2012, and many projects within this CIP were identified in that plan. Additional projects are listed as unfunded needs.
Parks. The City’s park infrastructure includes landscaping and the Urban Forest, with 70 park and landscape sites spread across Seal Beach. The City’s forestry program maintains and nourishes over 150 species of trees and plants.
Sewer. The City provides sewer collection services for residents and businesses in Seal Beach, transporting raw sewage to the Orange County Sanitation District for treatment. The City’s Sewer System includes over 160,000 feet of pipe, 700 manholes, and 6 pump stations.
Storm Drain. The City’s Storm Drain System collects surface runoff in 11 drainage areas throughout the City with one City-owned Storm Drain pump station.
248
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2025-2026
Streets and Transportation. The City’s Streets and Transportation System oversees more than 101 lane miles of traffic flow. Staff is responsible for maintaining landscaped medians, traffic signals, and handling utility work within the streets.
Water. The City's water system supplies potable water to residents, businesses, including the Naval Weapons Station, Sunset Aquatic Park. Its infrastructure consists of two booster stations, two reservoirs, four water wells, and various components such as telemetry, valves, fire hydrants, blowoffs, air reliefs, water meters, and a SCADA system. 249

DESCRIPTION
City Hall and the Police HQ are both aging facilities that have started to show signs of minor to moderate wear and tear due to years of use. These issues include deteriorating infrastructure, outdated systems, and general wear in key areas of the buildings. The planned improvements aim to address these challenges by repairing any damaged or deteriorating infrastructure, upgrading systems to meet modern standards, and enhancing the overall functionality and aesthetics of the facilities. These upgrades will not only extend the lifespan of the buildings but also ensure they continue to serve the community efficiently and safely. Necessary enhancements will be made to accommodate evolving needs, improve energy efficiency, and ensure compliance with current regulations.

Lampson Bike Trail Gap Closure Project
FY 2025-26 - FY 2029-30
DESCRIPTION
The segment of Lampson Avenue between Basswood Street and Seal Beach Boulevard did not have Class II bike lanes in either direction. However, Lampson Avenue did have Class II bike lanes from Basswood Street east to the intersection of Valley View Street.
As a result, a bike lane "gap" existed between Basswood Street and Seal Beach Boulevard. The Lampson Avenue Bike Trail Gap Closure project installed a Class II bike lane on both the north and south sides of Lampson Avenue between Seal Beach Boulevard and Basswood Street, closing the gap and connecting the existing bike lanes that previously terminated at the Basswood Street intersection to the bike lanes on Seal Beach Boulevard. Project is currently in the close-out phase of the project.

STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2025-2030
INTRODUCTION
The City of Seal Beach prepares a five-year forecast of General Fund revenues and expenditures on an annual basis to evaluate the City’s fiscal condition and to guide policy and programmatic decisions. The development of the fiveyear forecast as part of the budget development process has been identified as a best practice by the Government Finance Officers Associations (GFOA). GFOA recognizes a financial forecast as a “fiscal management tool that presents estimated information based on past, current, and projected financial conditions. This will help identify future revenue and expenditure trends that may have an immediate or long-term influence on government policies, strategic goals, and community services.”
The forecast establishes the foundation and framework for guiding policy and financial management decisions. This long-term perspective integrates strategic planning and budgeting to forecast and actively communicate challenges and opportunities before they arise. The five-year forecast focuses primarily on future revenues and expenditures of the City’s General Fund and analyzes future expenditure trends with particular emphasis on negotiated labor contracts, pension and retiree medical, unfunded liability costs, capital improvement needs and the current priorities of the City Council. The City utilizes the information in the five-year forecast as part of its annual budget development and updates the projections each year.
It is important to note that the forecast projects five years into the future based on the FY 2025-26 proposed budget and existing budgetary relationships, while the budget is based on an itemized analysis of supply, contract, and staffing needs required to meet established service standards and City Council priorities. As a result, the forecast provides a big picture, long-term outlook, while the budget is a detailed, short-term plan.
KEY OPERATIONAL FOCUS AREAS
The City has been working diligently to achieve more with fewer resources, while contending with the ongoing challenges posed by shifts in legislation and regulations, including unfunded mandates, housing requirements, and regulatory compliance and have placed considerable strain on the City's General Fund. While planning for the budget each year, key guiding metrics are put in place. Departments are tasked with finding ways to balance the City’s obligations to maintain fiscal sustainability while continuing to provide high-quality essential services and addressing long-term fiscal impacts. Key areas of focus included:
• Maintaining public safety and emergency response—Maintaining adequately staffed and trained Police and Marine Safety emergency response services, including community policing efforts, crime prevention programs, emergency personnel, water safety education, the City’s AED program, and the essential presence of lifeguards year-round to protect the quality of life in Seal Beach. • Funding Fire response—The City's Fire service contract through the Orange County Fire Authority is funded to provide the necessary resources, including firefighters, paramedics, and life-saving equipment. • Community engagement—The City offers significant outreach and engagement opportunities, including social media channels and the City Manager newsletter. Communication opportunities also include Town Halls, Study Sessions, and other boards and commissions for residents to engage in community topics and provide valuable feedback.
• Recreation— The Seal Beach Tennis and Pickleball Center continues to thrive with a growing user base, particularly as a premier destination for the increasingly popular sport of pickleball. The recently completed grant-funded renovation of the Center included significant work in the main clubhouse as well as lighting for all courts. This effort is now being augmented by a court resurfacing project on several of the tennis and pickleball courts to serve users. The City continues to put forth engaging community activities for all residents, including the Summer Kick off and Summer Send Off events, as well as events with community partners such as the Holiday Tree Lighting and Christmas Parade.
301
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2025-2030
• Transportation—The need for senior services, particularly transportation, continues to grow, with a record number of users for the Senior Shuttle and Dial-a-Ride programs. To support safer travel, the City was awarded a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) planning grant. This funding supported the development of a Safety Action Plan (SAP), which outlined strategies for the City to continuously enhance roadway safety and reduce the risk of fatal and serious injuries across all modes of transportation. • Maintaining public infrastructure and facilities—A well-maintained network of roadways, traffic signals, parks, beaches and the pier, recreation and library centers, as well as water, sewer, and drainage systems are essential to protecting the health and safety of Seal Beach residents, preserving property values, and sustaining our community’s quality of life. As a City with a history spanning over 100 years, much of our infrastructure is aging. Continued investment in these assets is critical to prevent costly failures and ensure long-term reliability. Main Street and the surrounding Pier area remain central to the identity of our coastal community. Both long- and short-term strategies are being developed to preserve the vitality and sustainability of this area. One such effort includes the implemented permit program along Main Street to support local businesses through limited outdoor dining and displays while maintaining safe pedestrian access. • Maintaining Seal Beach’s desirable neighborhoods and beaches include ensuring a berm is constructed in the rainy season to protect our beach and oceanfront, and keeping park and recreation centers clean, safe, and welcoming to promote recreation and support the many community members and groups that utilize these resources. Maintaining public beaches, keeping them clean and keeping public areas clean and safe remain a key operational area of focus.
• Maintaining high quality essential City services—City services shape the backbone of our community, ensuring the well-being and safety of residents while fostering a vibrant and sustainable environment.
Services encompass a wide range of both critical and quality-of-life functions, including responses to emergencies and complaints, access to recreational facilities and parks, community event support, timely building permitting and inspections, economic development initiatives, and administrative functions that support efficient operations.
• Maximizing flexibility in staffing levels—The City of Seal Beach's foremost priority is service to the community, which is done by and through the City’s workforce. Strategic investment in our workforce aims to foster a conducive environment that not only attracts but also retains top talent, for the continued success in how we provide services to our community. However, as a service-oriented entity, the City's operational costs predominantly stem from labor expenses, making it imperative to diligently achieve a delicate balance between maintaining financial sustainability and offering competitive compensation. • Maintaining the City’s Policy Reserve at 25 percent—This budget keeps the Policy Reserve to the City Council’s goal of 25 percent. This level of reserve is essential to maintain credit ratings, provide cash flow throughout the year, and ensure resources in the event of an emergency. • Reducing the City’s Unfunded Pension Liability—In 2024 the City Council authorized Revitalization funds to fund an additional payment to the unfunded pension liability. This additional payment resulted in a muchneeded reduction in the City’s pension contribution to the closed CalPERS Fire Plan and will reduce this expenditure yearly into the foreseeable future. This year’s budget includes a proposed Pension Paydown payment to further increase reductions.
• Seeking opportunities for cost recovery and efficiencies—Staff consistently looks for opportunities to increase revenues, obtain grant funding, identify and implement efficiencies, and foster partnerships to reduce the financial burden on the General Fund.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES/GOALS
An important component of the City of Seal Beach’s long-term planning efforts is the identification of strategic goals and priorities—both programmatic and infrastructure-related—that guide the City’s Five-Year Strategic Business Plan (SBP) and overall financial outlook. These Goals are developed with transparency and responsiveness at their core, reflecting the evolving needs of the community and shaped by the leadership of the City Council. The City is committed to serving its residents with integrity, accountability, and excellence, ensuring that resources are aligned with the programs and services that matter most to the community. 302
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2025-2030
On March 24, 2025, the City Council held a Budget Study session to establish and confirm the nine strategic goals outlined in this plan. They are designed to address priorities ranging from public safety and infrastructure to fiscal responsibility and environmental sustainability. These goals are presented in no particular order of priority, as all contribute collectively to the City's vision of a safe, vibrant, and thriving community. The FY 2025–26 Goals and Objectives builds on the direction set during the City Council’s Budget Study Session and reflects a shared commitment to continuous improvement and meaningful community impact.
STRENGTHEN PUBLIC SAFETY INITIATIVES
Public safety remains a top priority for the City of Seal Beach. During FY 2025–26, the City continues its commitment to enhancing law enforcement technology and emergency preparedness. The City is expediting upgrades to the Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) program and enhancing disaster management systems. Ongoing investments in training ensure that Safety personnel maintain high standards in perishable skills and emergency response. The City is also implementing an Intelligence-Led Policing model, using data-driven crime analysis to guide strategic deployment and strengthen crime prevention. Interagency collaboration with regional safety partners continues to grow, ensuring Seal Beach remains one of the safest coastal communities in the region.
ENSURE FISCAL STABILITY AND EFFICIENCY IN GOVERNANCE
To maintain financial resilience, the City is focused on identifying new revenue streams and continuing its cost recovery and fee schedule update. Strategic efforts to reduce pension liability and enhance the City's grant-seeking capabilities and other external funds sources are underway. The FY 2025–26 budget process emphasizes transparency and efficiency, ensuring that community resources are aligned with service delivery goals. This year the City Council added an additional meeting to set goals and guide the budget.
ASSESS AND MAINTAIN INFRASTRUCTURE
The City is committed to maintaining and investing in infrastructure that meets both current and future community needs. The City continues reviewing and assessing infrastructure conditions and enhancing our asset management systems. Collaborative efforts with local and regional partners will support broader capital initiatives and ensure alignment with long-term maintenance goals. Projects such as ADA-compliant upgrades to parking lots and public facilities remain a key part of this infrastructure focus.
PROMOTE AND ENHANCE A STRONG LOCAL ECONOMY
Seal Beach continues to support its business community through targeted economic development initiatives. The City is finalizing updates to the General Plan and working toward adoption of a Local Coastal Program. A key focus for FY 2025–26 is the development of a preliminary vision plan for the Pier/Main Street area and a long-term plan for the Lifeguard Headquarters facility. These efforts support coastal vitality and create opportunities for economic growth.
Additionally, the City is exploring ways to participate in regional economic opportunities tied to the 2028 Olympic Games.
EXPANDING STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS
The City is advancing its commitment to digital transformation and cyber resilience. The City is implementing an Information Technology Master Plan (ITMP), alongside a planned artificial intelligence policy that will guide ethical and effective use of emerging technologies. Enhancements to the City’s ERP financial system, cybersecurity measures, and public safety technology will improve service delivery and protect critical infrastructure. 303
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2025-2030
IMPROVE OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
Community engagement is at the heart of Seal Beach’s service delivery model. The City is investing in new tools and platforms to expand access to information and services, including enhancements to the MySealBeach app and communication channels such as email alerts, newsletters, and social media. The budget also includes expanded community classes, recreation services, and strengthened partnerships with military neighbors like JFTB and the Naval Weapons Station.
ENSURE CONTINUED EXCELLENCE IN CITY SERVICES
Maintaining high-quality services is a cornerstone of the City’s strategic vision. The City will assess program effectiveness, operating hours, and staffing needs to optimize service delivery. Initiatives aimed at enhancing services for senior residents, expanding adult sports leagues, and increasing community engagement through volunteer opportunities are prioritized. Planned improved technology will enhance the user experience across City facilities and programs.
PROTECT OUR COASTAL ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCES
Seal Beach is committed to environmental sustainability and coastal protection. Priorities include continued collaboration with stakeholders on a sand replenishment strategy, restoration efforts for the wetlands, development of a Local Coast Program, and sustainable practices that protect the San Gabriel River and local habitats. These initiatives support climate resiliency and ensure the long-term health of the City’s treasured natural resources.
ATTRACT AND RETAIN A HIGHLY SKILLED WORKFORCE
A talented, engaged, and supported workforce is vital to the City's success. A comprehensive classification and compensation study is planned and will evaluate market competitiveness and role alignment. Initiatives such as a new mentorship program, expanded training partnerships, and a “train-the-trainer” framework will support professional development and succession planning.
FIVE-YEAR FISCAL OUTLOOK
The Five-Year General Fund Outlook provides a framework for communicating the City’s fiscal priorities and outlining the City’s revenue and expenditure trends. The outlook, based on the City’s FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget, reflects the current economic conditions, trends, and assumptions anticipated. Sales and property tax projections were developed with the City’s sales and property tax consultant, Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates (HdL), in collaboration with Beacon Economics. Input from outside experts, institutional economic forecasts, and the City’s departments were also incorporated into the forecast.
Forecast assumptions are based on today’s economic outlook, which includes sustained inflation, elevated interest rates, reductions in consumer spending and rising costs across nearly all service areas. These factors present ongoing challenges that the City must continue to manage with discipline and foresight. The Five-Year factors in anticipated cost increases and accounts for economic conditions, revenue growth projections, and inflationary impacts, underscoring any fundamental imbalances between predicted revenues and expenditures. It is updated annually during each budget. This forward-looking analysis helps City staff and the Council to assess the long-term fiscal effects of policy decisions and enact proactive measures sooner rather than later.
Historically, the City of Seal Beach has faced difficult fiscal periods that required significant cuts to essential services.
Instead for FY 2025–26, the City is proud to present a balanced budget that maintains the critical services our community depends on—in large part to the passage of Measure GG. The support of our residents in approving Measure GG reflects the strong trust our community has in the City’s leadership and shared 304
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2025-2030
commitment to protecting vital public services. Measure GG has provided a critical revenue stream that allows the City to maintain public safety, maintain parks and infrastructure, and continue delivering core services at the standards our community expects.
With the help of Measure GG and careful financial planning, the City anticipates a balanced budget in the upcoming forecast. However, we must continue to be fiscally prudent and look beyond the short-term and long-range projections show expenditures in the future outpacing revenues. Operating costs are projected to grow by an average of 3.3% annually over the five-year forecast, largely due to rising workforce costs, including pensions and healthcare— alongside higher contract service expenses, increasing service demands, and infrastructure reinvestment needs.
While revenues are increasing 2.4%.
Over the past year, the City implemented meaningful cost-saving measures across all departments, despite already operating with lean staffing and limited resources. While there have been calls for further reductions, it’s important to acknowledge that the City has already undergone significant cutbacks—many departments are functioning with minimal, often skeletal staffing levels to provide key essential services. At the same time, costs related to maintenance and operations have continued to rise, and the City remains subject to ongoing fiscal mandates that place additional pressure on the budget.
Each department has been thoroughly evaluated to ensure alignment with fiscal realities while still delivering the essential services our community expects. Looking ahead, the City is shifting from reactive cuts to strategic, long-term financial planning. This includes preparing for future cost increases in a thoughtful, measured way and ensuring service delivery and staffing levels remain sustainable as the City continues to grow and respond to evolving community needs.
To help address future fiscal challenges, the City is actively exploring new revenue-generating opportunities. These include potential digital signage billboards, advertising on lifeguard towers, and a comprehensive review of the business license tax structure. In addition, the City is planning an update to the fee schedule to more accurately assess service fees, many of which are currently subsidized by the General Fund. These initiatives are still under review and have not yet been incorporated into the financial forecast, pending consideration and approval by the City Council.
Moving forward, the City’s goal is clear: to maintain the high level of services our residents value and trust— recognizing that delivering these services requires significant financial resources, staffing, and infrastructure. As the cost of providing public safety, community programs, maintenance, and other essential services continues to rise, the City remains committed to making smart, sustainable financial decisions that safeguard the long-term fiscal health of Seal Beach.
LONG RANGE PLANNING
The Proposed FY 2025-26 annual budget indicates that sufficient financial resources exist for the short-term and will maintain funded increases in Public Safety Officers, Detectives, Community Policing efforts and ongoing cost increases in Fire protection, parks and landscape maintenance, tree trimming and street scaping as well as many other quality of life initiatives the City has implemented.
Reserves
The City reserves are at the City Council’s target reserve level of 25% of annual operating expenditures. The City Council established target reserve policies to ensure adequate fiscal coverage in the event of an emergency or disaster. In the Proposed FY 2025–26 Budget, the City has allocated $1.5 million from the General Fund to the Economic Contingency Reserve, reinforcing its commitment to prudent fiscal management and long-term stability.

This reserve is a vital tool to help the City navigate unexpected financial challenges—such as revenue declines, natural disasters, or economic downturns—without immediately disrupting essential services. Given today’s economic uncertainties—including persistent inflation, fluctuating interest rates, potential changes in state or federal funding, policy decisions at the national level, and the impact of tariffs—the reserve provides a necessary financial buffer. With the unknown volatility in the year ahead, this reserve will help sustain ongoing programs and services while giving the City time to assess and respond thoughtfully should market conditions worsen or revenues decline.
Pension Planning
As part of its ongoing commitment to long-term fiscal health, the City has taken proactive steps to reduce its pension liabilities. In 2024, the City made an additional discretionary payment toward its CalPERS unfunded accrued liability using Revitalization funds. This early payment permanently lowered the City's future required contributions, resulting in significant ongoing savings. Building on that momentum, the Proposed FY 2025-26 Budget includes $250,000 dedicated to advancing the City Council’s direction to implement a formal pension paydown plan. By strategically investing in pension reduction now, the City aims to ease future budget pressures, create long-term structural savings, and ultimately eliminate its unfunded pension liability. This forward-looking approach reflects the City's commitment to financial sustainability while preserving the ability to fund essential services well into the future.
General Fund Fiscal Sustainability
Given that the City is largely built out and may not qualify for many grant opportunities, exploring ongoing additional revenue streams becomes essential as expenses have historically increased above estimated assumptions. It will be crucial to maintain a diligent approach to expenditure planning with careful consideration.
ASSUMPTIONS
In any given fiscal year, the level of resources, expenditures and year-end positive balances are the result of countless variables, including the global, national, and state economies; legislative mandates; tax policy; the state’s financial and budget circumstances; changing land use or building patterns; and City Council priorities. To the extent these factors vary from the outlook’s assumptions, outcomes will also vary. The City carefully monitors these factors and adjusts its operational and budget strategies accordingly.
REVENUE ASSUMPTION
Property Tax – Property tax revenues are expected to grow by 6.1 percent in FY 2025-26 over the prior year and projections are expected to be approximately 3.2 percent over the five-year forecast. Property tax assumptions were prepared in partnership with the City’s consultant HdL, a consulting firm that specializes in property tax analysis. HdL Property Tax provided an in-depth presentation to the City which included future assumptions. Seal Beach’s residential real estate market remains strong, with the assessed property value increasing by 5% over the prior year.
Limited inventory, coastal appeal, and steady sales throughout the City continue to drive reassessments and boost property tax revenues. As new construction is historically very limited, the sale and reassessment of existing properties accounts for most growth in the property tax base.
Sales Tax – Sales tax is comprised of the Bradely-Burns local sales tax rate as well as the transaction and use tax approved through Measure BB and Measure GG. HdL lowered the City’s sales tax forecast last year due to a slowdown in economic activity and cautious consumer spending, particularly on big-ticket discretionary items, and reductions in consumer goods and restaurants. The City has worked closely with HdL on the forecast noting the economy continues to struggle with discretionary spending, mostly in consumer goods. However, HdL’s outlook is cautiously optimistic that the City will see modest growth in sales tax revenue in the following years, increasing approximately 3.3 percent.
Utility Users Tax – Utility Users tax is expected to grow 6.7 percent over the previous fiscal year, this growth is expected notably due to the rising costs of energy production and distribution. Average growth in the five year is 0.7 percent and we have reached peak levels.
306
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2025-2030
Transient Occupancy Tax – Transient occupancy tax is expected to remain relatively flat as the hospitality industry in Seal Beach is at capacity. With only three hotels in town, occupancy remains consistently high due to spillover demand from surrounding areas. However, the small number of lodging options limits the City’s ability to grow TOT revenue, even with steady visitor interest.
Franchise Fees – While there may be some fluctuations in franchise fee revenue due to changes in energy usage and other factors, the City does not expect to see any significant increases or decreases.
Charges For Services – Includes refuse, parking meters, planning and plan check fees, tennis center services, and recreation fees and shows a growth of 6.4 percent due in part to increases in the use of the Tennis and Pickleball Center.
Other Revenues – Other revenues include licenses and permits, intergovernmental, fines and forfeitures, use of money and property and other revenues. These revenues are less susceptible to economic changes and often include one-time revenues. Fines and Forfeitures remain flat as it is important to note that citations are not viewed or used as a source of revenue for the City. Our primary goal is always to promote public safety and quality of life through education and responsible enforcement. Other revenues are expected to see relatively flat growth overall.
EXPENDITURE ASSUMPTIONS
Regular Salaries and Benefits – The projection for regular salaries includes the costs associated with terms already negotiated in existing MOUs and varies based on bargaining group and sworn or non-sworn assumptions.
Retirement – This amount includes the projection for required increases estimated by CalPERS to pay down the unfunded actuarial liabilities of all plans. The City anticipates an 11.9% increase in retirement costs for FY 2025-26, primarily due to changes implemented by CalPERS (California Public Employees' Retirement System). These changes include a reduction in the discount rate from 7% to 6.8%, which increases the City's required contributions to employee pensions. Additionally, new actuarial assumptions and asset allocation strategies adopted by CalPERS have further impacted the City's pension obligations.
Other Pay & Benefits – Other Pay and Benefits includes all part-time salaries, special pay items, health benefits and other payroll related items. These estimates fluctuate based on the individual benefits. Other Pay and Benefits increased by 22.6 percent from the prior year, driven primarily by a 15 percent rise in the Health Plan.
Fire Services: The City’s contracts for Fire services with Orange County Fire Authority increased by 4.0 percent over the prior year and is anticipated to continue this growth on average through the forecast due to increased service costs and recent Memorandum of Understanding Negotiations with their respective bargaining groups.
Insurance: The City contracts with the California Joint Power Insurance Authority (CJPIA) for General Liability, Property Insurance, and Worker’s Compensation. CJPIA costs grew 13 percent over the prior year. Assumptions can change as increased labor and contract costs are anticipated to rise.
Maintenance and Operations – This category includes day-to-day operating costs of the City. The largest items are equipment and materials, facilities maintenance, consulting, training, and contract professional. The assumptions for these costs vary depending on the account, however they are based on factors such as the consumer price index, utility cost increase estimates, and increase in contract renewal.
Transfers – These costs vary based on subsidies needed to fund operations of other funds. 307

[a] Fee is determined based on the size of the water service meter as applied to the sewer rates. Fee is determined based on the new or net upsized water service meter connection and is also applied to the sewer rates. Sewer rates are calculated using the value of the existing system that is not subject to replacement through the existing Capital Improvement Project (CIP) program and the total annual water use by sewer system customers in billing units. Beginning July 1, 2002 and every July 1st thereafter, the fee will may automatically increase by an amount calculated using the following formula – multiply the most recent fee in effect by the percentage increase over the previous 12 months immediately preceding the most recent publication of the Engineering News Record of Construction Cost Index existing on July 1st of the year of the increase. The previous ENR Construction Cost Index was 8293. The ENR Construction Cost Index for June 2009 is 8578. [b] For services that have never been connected or paid into the system, fees are calculated using the value of the existing system that is not subject to replacement through an existing Capital Improvement Project (CIP) program and the total annual water use by system customers in billing units. Beginning July 1, 2002 and every July 1st thereafter, the fee will may automatically increase by an amount calculated using the following formula – multiply the most recent fee in effect by the percentage increase over the previous 12 months immediately preceding the most recent publication of the Engineering News Record of Construction Cost Index existing on July 1st of the year of the increase. The previous ENR Construction Cost Index was 8293. The ENR Construction Cost Index for June 2009 is 8578. Fees shall not decrease below the level of rates existing on July 1, 2002.

Calculation of Appropriations Subject to Propositions XIIIB Limit For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026
FY 2025-2026
The voters of California approved Article XIII - B of the California State Constitution also known as Proposition 4, or the "Gann Initiative". The proposition restricts the total amount of appropriations allowed in any given fiscal year from the "proceeds of taxes". In 1980, the State Legislature added a section of the Government Code that required the governing body of each local jurisdiction to establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The appropriations limit for any fiscal year was equal to the previous year's limit, adjusted for population changes and the change in the U.S.
Consumer Price Index or California per Capita Personal Income if smaller.
In June 1990, the voters modified the original Proposition 4 with the passage of Proposition 111 and its implementing legislation. Beginning with the 1990-91 Appropriations Limit, a City may choose annual adjustment factors. The adjustment factors include the growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth within the County or the City.
Under Proposition 4, if a city ends the fiscal year having more proceeds of taxes than the Limit allows, it must return the excess to the taxpayers within two years.

FY 2025-2026
The City of Seal Beach is not obligated in any manner for general obligation or special assessment bonded indebtedness.

The City also issued $6.3 million of Lease Revenue Bonds in January of 2009. The bond proceeds were used to construct a new state-ofthe-art 12,000 square foot fire station located at 3131 North Gate Road. 383
DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS FY 2025-2026
The City’s financial structure is organized like other governments with the use of funds. Funds represent the control structure that ensures that public monies are spent only for those purposes authorized and within the amounts authorized.
Funds are established to account for the different types of activities and legal restrictions that are associated with a particular government function. The use of funds and the budgeting, accounting, and auditing that are associated with this fund structure are governed by the City Charter and/or Municipal Code, the State of California statutes and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, as determined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
The City uses the following funds to control its financial activities: General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Projects Funds, Proprietary Funds, Internal Service Fund, Special Assessment Districts, and Successor Agency Fund.
GENERAL FUND
General Fund - 101: The General Fund is used to account for most of the day-to-day operations of the City, which are financed from property taxes, utility users tax, sales tax, and other general revenues. Activities financed by the General Fund include police services, fire services, general administration, engineering, and planning.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for revenues derived from specific taxes or other earmarked revenue sources which, by law, are designated to finance particular functions or activities of government and therefore cannot be diverted to other uses. The City has the following special revenue funds:
Special Projects - 103: The Special Projects Fund was established to account for revenues derived from donations or special fees designated for future projects.
Waste Management Act - 104: The Waste Management Act was formed under AB939 to decrease the amount of solid waste Seal Beach deposits at local landfills, increase recycling efforts citywide and promote a more sustainable environment for the residents and visitors of Seal Beach.
Tidelands - 106: The Tidelands Beach Fund is required by the State of California and is used to account for all revenues derived from beach and pier operations in the City. Expenditures are limited to lifeguard, pier, and beach operations.
Parking In-Lieu - 107: The Parking In-Lieu Fund is a common parking management strategy which gives proposed projects or uses the option to pay a designated fee rather than provide some or all on-site parking spaces required by the zoning code.
Supplemental Law Enforcement - 201: The Supplemental Law Enforcement Grant are funds received from the State under the State Citizens Option for Public Safety Program. Certain procedures are required to be implemented prior to the use of the funds, and the funds cannot be used to supplant existing funding for law enforcement.
Detention Center - 202: The Detention Center Fund was initially funded by monies seeded the previous jail services vendor. The revenues also derived from sales of commissary items to the prisoners for their benefit.
State Asset Forfeiture - 203: The State Asset Forfeiture Fund accounts for revenues derived from monies and property seized in drug-related incidents.
Air Quality Improvement Program - 204: The Air Quality Improvement Program Fund accounts for supplemental vehicle license fee revenue distributed to Cities by the South Coast Air Quality Management District pursuant to Assembly Bill 2766. Expenditures are limited to programs that will reduce air pollution by reducing, directly or indirectly, mobile source emission pollutants.
Federal Asset Forfeiture - 205: The Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund accounts for revenues derived from monies and property seized in drug-related incidents.
384
DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS FY 2025-2026
Park Improvement - 208: The Park Improvement Fund was established to account for the Quimby Act Fees received by developers. The fees collected are only to be used to improve parks and recreation facilities.
SB1 RMRA - 209: The SB1 Program Fund was established to account for receipt and disbursement of narcotic forfeitures received from County, State and Federal agencies pursuant to Section 11470 of State Health and Safety Code and Federal Statue 21 USC Section 881.
Gas Tax Fund - 210: The Gas Tax Fund accounts for State collected, locally shared gas tax monies. Expenditures are limited to repair, construction, maintenance and right-of-way acquisitions relating to streets and highways.
Measure M2 - 211: With the sunset of M1, voters approved a continuation of transportation improvements through the Measure M Transportation Investment Plan (M2). By the year 2041, the M2 program plans to deliver approximately $15.5 billion* worth of transportation improvements to Orange County. Major improvement plans target Orange County freeways, streets and roads, transit and environmental programs.
Traffic Impact - 213: Traffic Impact Fees are fair-share based fees that will serve to offset, or mitigate, the traffic impacts caused by new development.
Seal Beach Cable - 214: The Seal Beach Cable accounts for revenues derived from PEGS fees which provide for channel capacity to be designated for public, education, or government use.
Community Development Block Grant - 215: The CDBG program provides communities with resources for a wide variety of unique community development needs.

DATE: June 9, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Patrick Gallegos, Interim City Manager
FROM: Barbara Arenado, Director of Finance/City Treasurer SUBJECT: Street Lighting Assessment District 1
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7656 confirming the diagram, assessment, and levying assessments for the Seal Beach Street Lighting Assessment District No.1 (District) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
At the May 12, 2025 City Council meeting, the Council adopted Resolution 7641 initiating the annual levy of assessments, Resolution 7643 approving the Engineer’s Report and Resolution 7642 of intention setting the date for the public hearing on June 9, 2025.
Assessments for the District are being levied for the following improvements:
A) The maintenance and servicing of arterial street lights which provide an area wide special benefit to all assessable parcels within the district whether or not such parcels are in close proximity to such lights; and B) The maintenance and servicing of streetlights in close proximity to certain lots and parcels that provides a local special benefit to such lots or parcels.
The total assessment for each parcel reflects a combination of the area wide and local special benefit received by the parcel. The amount of special benefit in each category for residential parcels varies depending on the type of dwelling, (e.g. whether single family or multiple units). Non-residential parcels are assessed an area wide special benefit based on square footage and a local special benefit based on front footage.
The assessment for each parcel of property in the district is based upon the benefit derived from street lighting. Total estimated costs for providing street lighting for 2025-2026 are $266,500, which includes utility costs of $257,000 and assessment engineer costs of $9,500. The Reserve Fund is estimated to be $0.00 as of
