PROCESS OF AGENDA ITEM:
a. Presentation of the agenda item by department
b. Questions and Discussion from Councilmembers
c. Conduct Public Hearing
d. Council Deliberation and Continuation of Item to the June 16th City Council Meeting for Consideration of Adoption of Budget
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The proposed FY 2026–27 Budget reflects the City’s continued effort to maintain service levels, address infrastructure needs, and ensure long-term financial sustainability across all funds. The budget incorporates updated revenue projections, planned expenditures, and capital improvements, while continuing to address structural challenges in the General Fund and maintaining financial stability in Enterprise Funds.
Given the extensive nature of the budget review process, it is important to clearly outline the steps and contingencies to ensure a thorough and effective evaluation. The review process is comprehensive and may not be completed in a single meeting. This approach supports thoughtful deliberation and community involvement, resulting in a wellconsidered and balanced budget for the upcoming fiscal year. • Review and consideration of adoption will continue at the City Council meeting scheduled for June 16, 2026. If the budget is ready for adoption at that time, the following resolutions will be presented for Council consideration:
o FY 2026–27 Budget Adoption Resolution
o FY 2026–27 Appropriations Limit Resolution
o FY 2026–27 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) Resolution • If the budget is not finalized at that time, the City Council may schedule a special meeting to ensure the budget is completed and adopted prior to the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2026. • If the budget is not adopted by June 30, 2026, the City Council may adopt a resolution to extend the FY 2025– 26 operating appropriations for a period of up to 60 days, through August 31, 2026. • This extension would ensure the uninterrupted continuation of municipal services. • There is no anticipated fiscal impact associated with continuing the FY 2025–26 adjusted budget during this extension period.

BACKGROUND:
The City budget stands as the most crucial policy document reviewed by the City Council annually. It not only outlines the City's financial resources but also reflects the City's values and priorities in allocating those resources. This comprehensive document serves as a blueprint for the City's fiscal management and strategic planning.
Within the City budget, there are various Funds designated for specific purposes, each detailed in the budget message that introduces the budget. Among these, the General Fund is the principal funding source for the majority of the City’s operations. As the largest and most flexible of the City's Funds, it provides the financial backbone for most City services. This Fund supports essential services such as public safety, parks and recreation, and general government operations, reflecting the City's commitment to maintaining the quality of life for its residents.
The General Fund's flexibility allows the City to respond to changing needs and priorities, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to address both immediate and long-term goals. By carefully managing this Fund, the City can sustain its operations, invest in community improvements, and uphold its commitment to fiscal responsibility.
DISCUSSION:
The Proposed FY 2026–27 Budget is the result of a comprehensive, multi-step development process that incorporates input from departments, review by the Budget Committee, and ongoing evaluation of the City’s financial conditions.
The budget development process began with departments reviewing prior-year performance and preparing updated revenue and expenditure projections based on operational needs and anticipated changes for the upcoming fiscal year. These requests were then reviewed and refined to ensure consistency, alignment with available resources, and responsiveness to City priorities.
Throughout the spring, the Budget Committee held a series 11 public meetings. These meetings also included other financial related matters of day to day operations, in addition to budget discussions focused on maintaining core services, addressing infrastructure needs, and identifying areas where adjustments or efficiencies could be implemented. The iterative nature of this process allowed for refinement of the budget based on policy direction and fiscal constraints.
In developing the Proposed Budget, updated financial data was incorporated, including year-end projections, revenue trends, and known cost drivers. Careful consideration was given to ensuring that ongoing expenditures are supported by sustainable funding sources. While the estimated year-end for FY 2025–26 reflects a significant surplus (one time savings due to salary savings, $478,000), these funds are being set aside in the unassigned fund balance as a reserve (City’s savings) and will be carried forward into the next fiscal year to help offset the projected operating deficit.
The public hearing tonight provides an opportunity for the City Council and community to review the proposed budget, provide input, and help inform final adjustments prior to adoption.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Overall Financial Overview
It is important to distinguish between the City’s annual operating results and the timing of multi-year funding allocations, particularly with respect to Measure U revenues designated for infrastructure.
Overall, General Fund revenues are expected to remain relatively flat:
• Property Tax: moderate growth (~$170,000)
• Sales Tax: slight increase (~$8,000)
• Permits & Development: decline (~$100,000)
• Cost Allocation Revenue: decrease (~$169,000) due to methodology changes. The new cost allocation provides for direct charges for City Attorney services, and using FY24-25 audited expenditures Agenda Item Number 8

Agenda Item Number 8
FY 26 27 assumptions reflect a cautious and realistic outlook based on current economic conditions. The FY 2026–27 Proposed General Fund budget totals $15.62 million in revenues and $16.58 million in expenditures, resulting in a projected $0.96 million operating deficit driven by public safety cost increases and Council-directed infrastructure investment.
A portion of this deficit reflects the City Council’s policy to allocate Measure U revenues toward infrastructure improvements in FY 2026–27 (approximately $612,800). Additional factors contributing to the deficit include increased personnel costs, higher insurance expenses, and rising costs for services.
General Fund Snapshot
Category Amount
Revenues $15.62 million
Expenditures $16.58 million
Operating Deficit ($0.96 million)
Measure U Overview
Measure U, the voter-approved ½-cent sales tax effective April 2025, continues to support General Fund services.
Under Council policy:
• 40% is allocated to streets, roads, drainage, and parks • Funding supports public safety services
• Remaining funds support core City operations
Measure U is projected to generate approximately $3.41 million from inception in April 2025 through the end of FY 2026–
27. This amount reflects cumulative revenues. Of this amount, $290,000 has been expended on infrastructure or capital projects, and $1,122,800 has been committed or reserved for infrastructure and capital projects. The remaining balance is being used to support ongoing City operations, consistent with City Council policy. These funds contribute to public safety and other General Fund services.
Reserves
Despite the projected deficit, the City maintains a strong reserve position. The ending unassigned fund balance is projected at $4.27 million, or 25.8% of annual expenditures. This level exceeds both the City’s 15% reserve requirement and its long-term goal of maintaining reserves at 20% of annual expenditures. While reserves remain strong, fund balance levels have gradually declined in recent years and will continue to be monitored as part of the City’s ongoing long-term financial planning efforts.
Pension Trust and Withdrawal Strategy:
In addition to maintaining reserve levels, the City is continuing to evaluate strategies to manage long-term pension liabilities. This includes consideration of additional funding to the Section 115 Pension Trust and refinement of the associated withdrawal strategy.
The proposed approach includes, where feasible, transferring a portion of available funds into the Section 115 Trust to support long-term cost smoothing and investment growth. In parallel, a revised withdrawal schedule was developed to better align with projected pension obligations, with the goal of reducing volatility in annual pension costs while preserving flexibility in the General Fund.
While these strategies are reflected as part of the City’s broader financial planning, any decision to commit additional funding to the Section 115 Trust is recommended to be evaluated and considered by the City Council during the FY 2026–27 budget hearings. Further investment policies will be brought back to the City Council for future consideration and direction.

Agenda Item Number 8
Expenditure Overview and Service Priorities
General Fund expenditures are projected to increase by approximately 5.7% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher public safety staffing costs, increased funding for animal control services, mandated benefit increases (including CalPERS, medical premiums, general liability, and workers’ compensation), and higher transfers for capital-related needs.
At the department level:
• City Administration (City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, ACM/City Clerk): Overall expenditures decrease by approximately $47,600 (-5.0%). This reflects adjustments to Council stipends, the new City Manager contract, partial reallocation of City Attorney costs to enterprise funds, and the continued vacancy of the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk position. Revised job descriptions and salary ranges for the Assistant City Manager and City Clerk positions will be brought back to the City Council for consideration prior to recruitment..
• Planning: Expenditures increase by approximately $79,500 (+11.3%), primarily due to the completion of grantfunded projects that previously offset staff costs, resulting in a greater share now being supported by the General Fund.
• Police: Expenditures increase by approximately $348,600 (+6.0%), driven by staffing-related costs, including labor agreement adjustments, higher CalPERS contributions, increased insurance costs, and expanded animal control services.
• Senior Center, Community Center, and Ives Pool: Expenditures reflect a mix of targeted adjustments, including modest increases for planned facility improvements and equipment replacement at the Senior Center and Ives Pool, partially offset by cost reductions at the Community Center primarily due to lower insurance-related expenses.
• Transfers Out: Transfers increase by approximately $323,000 (+40.4%), consistent with the City’s policy to allocate a portion of Measure U revenues toward infrastructure and maintenance activities.
Overall, while certain departments reflect notable increases due to cost pressures and service needs, many others remain relatively stable or show modest changes, consistent with ongoing efforts to manage expenditures prudently.
Enterprise Funds and Capital Investments
The Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds are projected to remain stable in the near term, supporting both ongoing operations and planned capital improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. Looking beyond the one-year horizon, capital needs identified in the recently completed Water Master Plan will require further evaluation to assess whether existing rate structures are sufficient to sustain long-term investment.
Within the Wastewater Fund, a key consideration is the City’s share of Phase 1 of the Llano Trunk Line Rehabilitation Project, which has been completed at a cost of approximately $997,000. In coordination with the City of Santa Rosa, a revised financing approach has been developed that relies on available subregional reserves and a pay-as-you-go strategy rather than issuing new debt.
This approach allows the City to utilize available reserves, including the ability to temporarily operate at a negative balance, effectively serving as a no-interest financing mechanism. As a result, the City avoids incurring new debt or related interest costs. Funds previously assumed for debt service are instead redirected toward rebuilding reserves and preparing for future phases of the project, with continued set-asides included to support longer-term system needs.

Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds including Gas Tax, Measure M, grants, and development impact fees—are budgeted based on their restricted uses and available balances. These funds are limited to specific purposes and are primarily used to support capital projects rather than ongoing operations.
Projects funded by these sources are identified through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and are aligned with infrastructure needs and funding requirements. Uses are limited to eligible activities for each source, such as roadway improvements, traffic safety projects, grant-funded work, and growth-related infrastructure.
The Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) is funded through assessments on businesses within the district and is restricted to uses that directly benefit the assessed area.
On May 4, 2026, the Budget Committee met with BID representative Jennifer Koelemeijer to discuss downtown revitalization priorities and potential improvements. Topics included enhancements to the Downtown Sebastopol website, such as an events calendar, updated content, and potential business log-in features, which could be managed by a designated member. The discussion also focused on strategies to improve BID engagement, including clearer communication methods, combining email outreach with mailed materials, and establishing a more formal leadership structure.
Additional discussions addressed broader downtown priorities, including lighting improvements, community clean-up efforts, marketing initiatives, and potential signage or façade support for businesses, including revisiting a prior façade improvement program. The Committee emphasized the importance of greater transparency in the use of BID funds, enhanced outreach through regular updates, and more effective use of available resources and grant opportunities.
Approximately $17,554 in revitalization funds is proposed in FY26-27 budget to support communication and outreach efforts. The Committee expressed general support for the list of suggested improvements identified by businesses, with the exception of the parking-related item, which was not considered feasible for implementation.
Overall, the budget reflects a coordinated effort to use these restricted funds strategically—advancing capital projects while ensuring compliance with funding requirements and maintaining fund balance levels for future needs.
Capital Investments and Transfers
Infrastructure investment remains a key focus of the FY 2026–27 Proposed Budget, particularly in the area of street maintenance and facility improvements. The budget includes approximately $1.12 million in General Fund transfers, inclusive of prior-year carryover, to support pavement improvements, completion of ongoing capital projects, and targeted facility upgrades.
Measure U revenues continue to play a central role in funding these efforts. Proposed allocations are slightly above the 40% policy benchmark on a cumulative basis, reflecting the City’s continued effort to address deferred maintenance needs while remaining generally consistent with adopted policy direction.
BUDGET COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The table below highlights the Budget Committee meetings held throughout early 2026 and reflects the significant time and effort devoted to developing the FY 2026–27 Proposed Budget. These meetings also included review and discussion of other budget related items impacting operations, including the mid-year budget review, received FY24- 25 audited financial report, quarterly financial updates, cost allocation plan, Section 115 pension and unfunded liability updates, construction contract amendments, and special event fees waiver.

City Council Meeting Packet of June 2, 2026
Agenda Item Number 8
Dear Members of the Sebastopol City Council Budget Committee, On behalf of the Downtown Sebastopol Business Improvement District (BID), we respectfully submit our proposed allocation of funds for the upcoming fiscal year and request your approval to proceed.
The BID currently holds approximately $17,000 in available funds, with annual revenue of approximately $9,000. Our proposal reflects a careful and conservative approach—balancing one-time investments that create lasting shared assets with ongoing annual expenses that align with our recurring revenue.
Our goal is to ensure that every dollar spent delivers broad, visible benefit to the entire district, while maintaining long-term financial sustainability.
Proposed Budget Framework
One-Time / Foundational Investments (Year 1)
These investments create shared tools that all BID businesses can use over multiple years:
● Website & Downtown Events Calendar: $2000 – $3000
Development of a centralized, easy-to-use website that highlights downtown businesses and provides a single location for events and promotions. All BID members will be able to participate and list offerings at no additional cost. ● Professional Content Creation (Photo & Video): $4000 - 5000 Creation of a high-quality, evergreen library of images and short-form video showcasing Downtown Sebastopol. These assets will be shared with all BID businesses to support their individual marketing efforts, reducing the need for each business to invest separately.
Estimated One-Time Total: $6000 – $8,000
Annual / Recurring Investments
These ongoing investments focus on visibility, visitor experience, and steady economic activity:
● Main Street Beautification (Seasonal Flowers & Holiday Lighting): $4,000 – $5,000 annually
Enhancing the appearance of downtown creates a welcoming environment that encourages visitors to stay longer, explore more businesses, and return more often. ● Sonoma County Tourism Magazine (2-Page Spread): Approximately $3,400 - $3,600 annually
Inclusion in this widely distributed publication ensures Downtown Sebastopol is represented to visitors already traveling within Sonoma County. This provides broad exposure for multiple businesses within a single placement.
Agenda Item Number 8
City Council Meeting Packet of June 2, 2026
Agenda Item Number 8
● Website Maintenance & Updates: $300 – $700 annually
Ongoing support to keep the website and events calendar current and useful for both businesses and visitors.
Estimated Annual Total: $7,700 – $9,300
This funding plan reflects a disciplined and practical approach: investing once in shared assets, maintaining manageable annual costs, and prioritizing improvements that benefit the entire downtown business community.
● Aligned with Annual Revenue
Recurring costs are intentionally kept within the BID’s approximate $9,000 annual income, avoiding structural deficits and ensuring sustainability. ● Shared Value Across All BID Members
Investments focus on tools and visibility that benefit the entire district—not individual businesses—ensuring equitable return on BID contributions. ● Supports Small and Independent Businesses
By providing shared marketing assets and a common promotional platform, this plan reduces the burden on individual businesses to fund their own advertising and content creation.
● Increases Customer Activity Downtown
A more attractive streetscape, stronger regional visibility, and clear information about what is happening downtown all contribute to increased visitation and greater participation across multiple businesses.
● Builds Long-Term Marketing Infrastructure
One-time investments in content and digital presence will continue to generate value in future years, reducing the need for repeated large expenditures.
We believe this proposal represents a responsible use of BID funds and supports the City’s goals of economic vitality, small business support, and a vibrant downtown.
We appreciate your consideration and welcome any questions.
Warmly,
Downtown Sebastopol Business Improvement District represented by:
Jen Koelemeijer - Gather Danielle Connor - Retrograde Andrea Caron - Silk Moon Erin Hillmer - Gather Tessa Grul - Dressers

Offering lot-specific or 3-hour-spot specific parking passes, similar to what local residents have for street parking? What our Abacus team is finding is all of the park-n-ride spots in the Hopmonk lot are often full. We'd gladly pay a $60 annual fee to avoid tickets while we're working.
It's great town is flourishing and we're looking at doing more to enhance its vitality, but until there's a parking structure or more public, long-term parking, passes seem an easy option.
I plan to attend the meeting on May 4th to hear all that folks have to add. 4/22/2026 Advertising/
Marketing
Support the promotion of business activities and downtown vitality through marketing and advertising campaigns especially radio and Sonoma Magazine as well as other Press democrat publications. We believe decorations, public events and music activities are well managed by the Chamber of Commerce. Parking has never been a complaint of our customers.
We have always believed that marketing and advertising is money well spent especially as a group entity, since it is expensive.
4/28/2026 Redesign Downtown
I brought up an idea at the last DRB meeting, to host a design competition for a redesign of the downtown plaza. I'd like to suggest that some of the BID finds could be used for this project, perhaps in combination with other public or private funds. While new banners and sidewalk sales can enliven the downtown streetscape, they are a temporary way to attract and sustain a thriving business environment. A plaza that is more welcoming, comfortable, and connected to the rest of downtown would be a much more robust, long-term effort towards this same goal. 4/28/2026
Downtown
Improvement
One Time:
• Website& DowntownEvents Calendar:$2000– $3000Development of a centralized, easyto-use website that highlights downtown businesses and provides a single location for events and promotions. All BID members will be able to participate and list offerings at no additional cost.
• Professional Content Creation (Photo & Video): $4000 - 5000 Creation of a high-quality, evergreen library of images and short-form video showcasing Downtown Sebastopol. These assets will be shared with all BID businesses to support their individual marketing efforts, reducing the need for each business to invest separately.
Recurring
• MainStreetBeautification(Seasonal Flowers & Holiday Lighting): $4,000– $5,000annually Enhancing the appearance of downtown creates a welcoming environment that encourages visitors to stay longer, explore more businesses, and return more often. • Sonoma County Tourism Magazine (2-Page Spread): Approximately $3,400 - $3,600 annually Inclusion in this widely distributed publication ensures Downtown Sebastopol is represented to visitors already traveling within Sonoma County. This provides broad exposure for multiple businesses within a single placement.
• WebsiteMaintenance& Updates:$300– $700annually Ongoing support to keep the website and events calendar current and useful for both businesses and visitors.

4/30/2026 Downtown Cleanup
Council should try to form a volunteer downtown cleanup association, which could be comprised of Chamber Members, Rotary clubs, Nonprofit members (like senior center folks) - get volunteers downtown 1x per month. I think this would foster community involvement and show people that residents and the business community want a nice downtown and also save money from a PW standpoint! I think it might be worth investigating. If you could get 20 volunteers each month, that would have a positive impact psychologically and on the actual appearance of downtown. Maybe the Downtown Business Tax could go toward organizing and supporting volunteer clean up days?
If you could provide some funding for someone to organize it and provide drinks (?) that could go a long way. For instance if you could get $750 per session ($9000 annually) to organize and provide beverages and tools, that is much cheaper and has a better psychological impact than having Public Works do it. Maybe the organizer could target a volunteer group each month - rotary, senior center, analy high school, chamber members, 4H, Goldridge Fire Explorers, boy scouts - so you could build a core of volunteers and then supplement with specific groups.

Agenda Item Number 8
May 27, 2026
Honorable Mayor, Councilmembers, and members of the Sebastopol Community, The Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2026–27 Budget reflects a multi-month, collaborative effort to align the City’s financial resources with its operational priorities and long-term fiscal sustainability. Development began in early January 2026 and progressed through a structured and iterative review process that incorporated budget discussions alongside key policy and operational considerations.
The Budget Committee convened eight times—on January 12, February 9, March 2, March 9, March 30, April 6, April 28 (jointly with the Enterprise Fund Oversight Committee), and May 4—to review the budget framework. These meetings included high-level overviews, detailed departmental reviews, enterprise fund discussions, and broader financial, policy, and operational issues that informed the overall budget approach.
Additional meetings on May 11 and May 18 were held to finalize deliberations, incorporate feedback, and refine recommendations in advance of presenting the proposed budget to the City Council for review and adoption.
New this year was the establishment of the Enterprise Fund Oversight Committee. This committee was established to:
• Reviewing Annual Budgets and Financial Reports: The Committee will analyze the financial health of the Enterprise Funds, ensuring that budgets and financial statements reflect accurate and sustainable practices. • Analyzing Rate Studies and Rate Adjustment Proposals: The Committee will evaluate proposed rate changes, including providing recommendations on cost allocation methods to ensure fairness and financial viability. • Evaluating Long-Term Financial Planning and Capital Improvement Needs: The Committee will assess capital improvement plans (CIP), master plans, and long-term financial forecasts related to Enterprise Fund operations, ensuring that projects are properly prioritized and funded and that master planning efforts align with Enterprise Fund financial sustainability.
• Engage with the public and other stakeholders to ensure that the community’s interest and concerns are reflected in the Committee’s recommendations.
• Such other duties as assigned by the City Council.
• Shall submit an annual report to the Council in early June before the next fiscal year budget is adopted.
The Budget Committee and Enterprise Fund Oversight Committee also received presentations on the Cost Allocation Plan Methodology and on Enterprise Fund considerations related to Propositions 218 and 26.
The FY 2026–27 budget reflects a year of deliberate evaluation, difficult choices, and an increased focus on aligning resources with the City’s long-term priorities. Through substantive discussion with both committees, the process emphasized not only near-term affordability but long-term sustainability, requiring a reassessment of how the City funds services, infrastructure, and internal support functions rather than simply carrying forward prior assumptions.
This budget balances many competing needs, but challenges remain—especially with infrastructure, cost allocation, and service demands. The goal for FY 2026–27 was not to eliminate all risk, but to present a realistic financial plan that is transparent about constraints, intentional about priorities, and flexible enough to adapt as conditions change.
Throughout the budget process, staff worked to reflect City Council priorities as fully as possible within available resources. The final budget is more than just a spending plan. It is a clear policy document that shows how the City is using limited dollars to meet our community’s needs. It also serves as a straightforward roadmap of City operations, helping residents see exactly how budget decisions support the services they rely on every day. 1 Agenda Item Number 8

DRAFT Agenda Item Number 8
On April 14, 2026, the City Council held a goal-setting workshop to define policy objectives that would guide both short-term actions and longer-term planning. The workshop included strong public input and active participation from both Councilmembers and staff. This process reinforced the importance of working together and sharing responsibility.
As a result, the Council renewed the following six priority areas to guide the City’s work:
1. Community Vitality
• Budgeted: Downtown maintenance, beautification, safety improvements • Not Budgeted: Benches, Centennial planning, some park/event expansions
2. Public Safety
• Budgeted: Existing operations, HEART/WCCS services, generator, trail maintenance • Not Budgeted: Additional police staffing, expanded patrols, some traffic enforcement tools
3. Infrastructure
• Budgeted: Majority of CIP (roads, sidewalks, utilities, facilities, stormwater, water/sewer) • Not Budgeted: Bike infrastructure, select studies, fleet electrification, some park improvements
4. High-Performance Organization
• Budgeted: Staffing, training, code updates, housing compliance (mostly) • Not Budgeted: Major new technology systems and certain organizational initiatives beyond current resource capacity are not included. While significant system upgrades are not proposed in this budget, staff will continue to evaluate opportunities to improve efficiency and service delivery over time.
5. Long-Term Financial Stability
• Budgeted: Pension/financial policies, reporting, Measure U oversight, staff-driven efforts • Not Budgeted: New technology tools, select cost-reduction initiatives (such as shared services and developing an in-house “budget at a glance”), and grant writer support are not included. Cost-saving efforts will continue to focus on internal solutions where feasible rather than adding new external resources.
6. Economic Development
• Budgeted: Limited items (e.g., signage, permitting improvements – mostly within existing resources) • Not Budgeted: Majority of new programs (business initiatives, downtown activation, strategy development)
The preliminary FY 2026–27 Proposed Budget incorporates, where feasible, the estimated costs and resource impacts associated with the City Council goals discussed at the April 14, 2026 goal-setting session. In some cases, specific cost estimates remain unknown or require further analysis; these items will be evaluated and brought forward at a later date through future budget adjustments.
This budget is structured to support progress across each of these priority areas while recognizing that meaningful outcomes often require sustained effort over multiple fiscal years. As such, the proposed budget represents an incremental but intentional step toward long-term fiscal sustainability, continued service delivery, and responsible stewardship of public resources.
Types of Funds: This budget includes four types of operating funds:
a. General Fund: This is the City’s primary operating fund. It funds most core City services, and the City Council has great flexibility in its use. It accounts for sources and uses of resources that (primarily) are discretionary to the City Council in the provision of activities, programs and services deemed necessary and desirable by the community.
It accounts for all general revenues of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds, and the related expenditures. The major revenue sources for this fund are sales taxes (including the voter-approved tax increase from Measure U), property taxes, franchise fees, business license fees, unrestricted revenues from the state, fines and forfeitures, and interest income. Expenditures are made for community development, parks, public safety (including police and fire), public works, and other services. b. Enterprise Funds: These funds include activities that typically operate as independent enterprises, or businesses.
These services pay for themselves through fees rather than taxes. They have their own sources of funding, which must be used to support those activities. Enterprise funds are used to account for self-supporting activities that provide services on a user-charge basis. For example, many cities provide water treatment and distribution services to their residents. Users of these services pay utility fees, which the city deposits in a water enterprise 2 Agenda Item Number 8
City Council Meeting Packet of June 2, 2026
DRAFT Agenda Item Number 8
fund. Expenditures for water services are charged to this fund. Wastewater is another example. The Water and Wastewater funds are Sebastopol’s enterprise funds.
c. Special Revenue Funds: These are funds to account for particular sources of revenue and related expenses.
Unlike enterprise funds, the users of the funded services are not typically charged for the full cost of services.
Special revenue funds are used to account for activities paid for by taxes or other designated revenue sources that have specific limitations on use according to law. For example, the state levies gas taxes and distributes some of these funds to cities and counties. A local government deposits gas tax revenue in a special fund and spends the money for street and road-related programs, according to law. d. Debt Service Funds: These funds accumulate assets, or funds, usually from operating funds for repayment of long-term debt. Debt service for a city government is the money needed to pay back the principal and interest on debt over a specific time period. Example of Debt payments include the Energy Project Lease Payment of $375,000.
Overall Financial Overview:
The FY 2026–27 Proposed General Fund budget includes $15.62 million in revenues and $16.58 million in expenditures, resulting in a projected operating deficit of approximately $0.96 million. The proposed budget continues to support core City services, infrastructure improvements, and public safety, while reflecting ongoing increases in labor, pension, and operational costs.
Measure U revenues remain an important source of General Fund support. Consistent with prior Council policy direction, a portion of these revenues is proposed to be used for infrastructure-related expenditures, including streets and road maintenance, as part of the City’s ongoing commitment to maintaining community assets and service levels.
These planned investments contribute to the projected operating deficit reflected in the proposed budget.
Notwithstanding the projected operating deficit, the City continues to actively manage its financial position. Ongoing efforts include strengthening internal controls over expenditures, update of financial policies, enforcing cost recovery protocols, reviewing cost allocation methodologies, managing investment activity, pursuing grant opportunities, and exploring shared service arrangements with neighboring jurisdictions.
The General Fund’s ending unassigned fund balance is projected at $4.27 million, or approximately 25.8% of annual expenditures. This level exceeds both the City’s 15% reserve requirement and its long-term goal of maintaining reserves at 20% of annual expenditures. While reserves remain strong, fund balance levels have gradually declined in recent years and will continue to be monitored as part of the City’s ongoing long-term financial planning efforts.

Budget Projections: The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026–27 Proposed Budget reflects the City of Sebastopol’s continued commitment to fiscal responsibility, transparency, and the delivery of essential public services, while navigating ongoing financial pressures and long-term infrastructure needs. This budget is the result of extensive collaboration among the City Council, Budget Committee, Enterprise Fund Oversight Committee, and City staff. It balances the need to maintain core services, invest in critical infrastructure, and preserve the City’s long-term financial sustainability.
This illustration reflects the City’s two-year financial outlook. In FY 2025–26, revenues are projected to exceed expenditures, resulting in a surplus of approximately $1.23 million. In FY 2026–27, expenditures are projected to exceed revenues, resulting in a planned deficit of approximately $0.96 million. When viewed together, the prior year surplus is intended to offset the following year deficit, resulting in a modest net positive balance of approximately $274,000 over the two-year period.

Like many local governments, Sebastopol continues to operate in an environment shaped by inflationary pressures, rising operating costs, and uncertainty in certain revenue streams. Revenue growth has not consistently kept pace with increases in labor costs, materials, utilities, and professional services. Labor costs in particular have been influenced by recently negotiated compensation packages, including public safety agreements that incorporated equity adjustments. These adjustments were made to keep pay competitive and to fix long-standing pay disparities.
The FY 2026–27 budget continues the City’s practice of conservative revenue assumptions and prudent expenditure planning, with an emphasis on maintaining adequate reserves and avoiding structural imbalances.
General Fund Outlook:
General Fund revenues are projected to remain relatively stable, reflecting a modest decrease of 0.4% from the prior adopted budget. Key assumptions underlying the revenue forecast include the following:
• Sales Tax: Sales tax continues to represent the City’s largest revenue source. Receipts are projected to increase approximately 0.1% (approximately $8,300) with a measured assessment of current economic conditions. • Property Tax: Property tax revenues are projected to increase by approximately 4.7% (approximately $170,000).
While state law limits standard annual growth to 2%, revenues may exceed this threshold when properties change ownership. Additionally, processing backlogs at the County Assessor’s Office may result in “catch-up” adjustments that temporarily augment receipts.
• Franchise Fees and Permits: Franchise fees are projected to increase. Conversely, licenses and permits revenue is expected to decline about $100,000, reflecting reduced construction and development activity. • Cost Allocation Plan: From 2014 through 2023, the City used a cost allocation plan based on flat percentage allocations applied to each department. These percentages were initially calculated using the adopted budget during the budget process and were then trued up at year end using actual expenditures, with the same flat percentages applied. The actual expenditures used for the year end true up were based on audited financials and 4 Agenda Item Number 8
City Council Meeting Packet of June 2, 2026
DRAFT Agenda Item Number 8
included salaries, benefits, and other costs such as contracted services, services and supplies, and dues and subscriptions, excluding the community support line item. Charges to the enterprise funds were ultimately based on these audited actual costs.
For FY 2024 25 and FY 2025 26, the cost allocation plan was based on budgeted amounts from the adopted FY 2023 24 and FY 2024 25 budgets, respectively.
For FY 2026-27, the allocation was recalculated using actual FY 2024 25 expenditures, resulting in Scenario or Option A. Option A is a placeholder in the FY 2026–27 budget that allows the City to continue moving forward with the budget process. It assumes that enterprise funds (such as utilities) will continue to reimburse the General Fund for shared City services using the current cost allocation approach. This approach is based on the most recent audited year (FY 2024–25) (actual expenses) and includes a modest 2.5% increase for inflation. Under Option A, cost allocation revenues are expected to decrease by about $169,000 compared to the prior year. This decrease is mainly due to a change in how certain costs are handled. Specifically, City Attorney costs are now charged directly to enterprise funds, rather than being included in the overall cost allocation formula. • Transfers In: Transfers into the General Fund are expected to return to baseline levels. The majority of these transfers are attributable to the supplemental law enforcement grant of $120,000. The Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund use to support active law enforcement operations. Examples include use of funds for: motorcycle traffic officers, or community service officers (CSOs); funds also cover patrol vehicles, communication technology (radios), ballistic equipment, helmets, and gas masks; anti-crime prevention programs, community crime prevention, and public safety initiatives like National Night Out. State law strictly prohibits local agencies from using SLESF to replace money they would otherwise spend on public safety from their General Fund. SLESF monies cannot be diverted into a city's general fund.
The revenue forecast represents a prudent and realistic outlook, balancing historical performance with prevailing economic conditions and the inherent uncertainty surrounding future development activity.
Measure U
The voter-approved ½-cent sales tax (Measure U) took effect on April 1, 2025, and FY 2026–27 represents the City’s second year of this revenue measure supporting General Fund services. The enactment of SB 132 ensures that the full ½-cent tax will remain in effect for the entire 12-year period approved by voters.
To ensure accountability and transparency, the City Council adopted a formal policy to guide the use of Measure U revenues. Under this policy:
1. 40% of the revenue shall be allocated for maintaining and repairing City roads, streets, drainage, and parks.
2. Sufficient revenue shall be allocated for maintaining public safety, including retaining existing Police Department staffing levels and providing sufficient funding for fire services after the reorganization of such services with the Gold Ridge Fire Protection District.
3. If there is sufficient revenue allocated for items 1 and 2 above, the remaining revenue will be allocated to maintain Sebastopol’s City services such as 911 emergency medical/police/fire response, wildfire/emergency preparedness, maintenance of streets/roads, parks/trails, library, youth and senior services, retaining/attracting local businesses, and for general government use.
From inception through projected FY 2026–27 revenues, Measure U collections are estimated at $3,412,737. Applying the Council’s 40% policy guideline, the allowable allocation for infrastructure would total $1,365,095. The current budget includes $1,412.800 for infrastructure, exceeding the policy amount by $47,705, or approximately 3.5%. This reflects the City’s continued emphasis on addressing critical infrastructure needs while balancing competing operational demands. The Measure U revenue allocation by fiscal year is summarized below. 5 Agenda Item Number 8

DRAFT Agenda Item Number 8
Expenditure Overview and Services Priorities
Total General Fund expenditures are projected to increase 6.0% year-over-year, driven principally by increased salaries for public safety; animal control services; mandated benefit increases (such as health, CALPERS, CIRA General Liability; and CIRA Workman Compensation), and capital-related transfers. Key departmental highlights are summarized below:
• City Administration (City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, and Assistant City Manager/City Clerk):
Expenditures reflect a net decrease of approximately $47,600 (-5.0%). This reflects adjustments to Council stipends, the new City Manager contract, partial reallocation of City Attorney costs to enterprise funds, and the continued vacancy of the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk position. Revised job descriptions and salary ranges for the Assistant City Manager and City Clerk positions will be brought back to the City Council for consideration prior to recruitment.
• Planning: Expenditures increase by $79,500 (+11.3%), reflecting the conclusion of grant-funded projects that had previously offset staff costs. As those projects have ended, a greater portion of Planning division expenditures must be borne by the General Fund.
• Police: Expenditures increase by $387,600 (+6.7%), driven by higher staffing costs including labor contract adjustments to address pay equity, increased California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) contributions, CIRA General Liability; Workman Compensation; and rising benefit costs; as well as significant increase in funding for animal control services.
• Senior Center: Expenditures increase by $10,000 (+20.9%) to fund the next phase of building improvements, including rain gutter replacement and HVAC upgrades.
• CommunityCenter: Expendituresdecrease by$17,200(−10.5%), reflectinglower insurance costsallocatedto the facility.
• Ives Pool: Expenditures increase by $34,000 (+14.9%), primarily to fund the planned replacement of the pool heater and solar cell replacement.
• Transfers Out: Expenditures increase by $323,000 (+40.4%), consistent with the City’s policy to allocate a portion of Measure U revenues to fund street, road, drainage, and park maintenance. 6 Agenda Item Number 8

Several departments reflect flat or modestly increased/reduced expenditure levels, consistent with the City’s ongoing commitment to prudent fiscal management.
Unfunded Accrual Liability (UAL) represents the portion of a pension plan's liabilities that are not covered by plan assets. Essentially, it is the difference between the total projected benefits owed to employees and the assets currently available to fund those benefits. Changes in the UAL occur as the age and number of plan members changes and when the pension plan gains less or more from its investments than it has projected. The UAL is considered an employer's debt and is used to assess the funded status of a pension plan. The annual amount of the UAL is determined by an actuarial study that the City receives from CalPERS. There are two separate pools, the safety plan (Police and Fire) and the miscellaneous plan (all other employees). The safety plan is directly charged to Police and Fire as it is based on local safety employees only and is incurred as their UAL. Miscellaneous plan UAL is allocated among non-safety employees based on the percentage of salary cost in each department.
Insurance: The City is part of a joint powers authority (JPA) risk pool. Each year, the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA) determines the premiums for various types of insurance, and the City of Sebastopol budgets accordingly. These premiums cover claims such as workers' compensation, personal liability, and property insurance.
Each department is allocated a portion of these premiums to cover costs, regardless of whether they have filed any claims. The allocation method is as follows: workers' compensation is based on the total salary of the department, and liability is based on the department's expenses from the previous year. This process, known as allocated insurance, is noted in the budget line items to ensure that each department contributes its fair share to the insurance expenses based on an established method. It's a structured approach to managing insurance costs, ensuring that each department pays proportionately to the city's overall insurance expenses. The following shows the increase in various types of insurance that the City must pay:
• Medical insurance: 16%
• Dental and Vision Insurance: 0% increase (rates unchanged for one year) • Workers' Compensation: 0%
• General Liability: 21%
Five-Year Outlook:
While the City’s goal remains to adopt a balanced annual budget, the five-year financial forecast (page 181) continues to show a structural imbalance in the General Fund, with projected expenditures exceeding recurring revenues in forecast years. Beginning in FY 2026–27, ongoing operating deficits are anticipated, driven primarily by rising personnel costs, pension obligations, insurance costs, and general service cost inflation that outpaces revenue growth. These shortfalls are currently addressed through the planned use of fund balance and planned used of Section 115 Pension Trust contributions; however, this strategy is not sustainable over the long term. As reflected in the forecast, unassigned General Fund reserves are projected to decline from approximately 36.4% as estimated the year end of fiscal year 2025-26 of expenditures to near or below minimum policy levels in three years of the forecast if no corrective actions are taken. This outlook shows that the City must keep a close eye on its finances and look for long-term ways to increase income and control costs to maintain financial stability.
Enterprise Funds:
The City’s Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds remain financially stable and are sufficient to support ongoing operations as well as the capital improvements proposed for the upcoming one-year period. However, looking ahead, future capital needs identified in the recently completed Water Master Plan will need to be reassessed to determine whether the current rate structure is adequate to support those longer-term investments.
A significant item within the Wastewater Fund is Sebastopol’s financial responsibility for Phase 1 of the Llano Trunk Line Rehabilitation Project. Phase 1 construction has been completed, with the City of Sebastopol’s share totaling $997,394 based on the regional cost allocation. While a loan-based repayment approach was previously evaluated, staff has since worked with the City of Santa Rosa to develop a revised financing strategy.
The updated approach utilizes available subregional reserve funds and a pay-as-you-go strategy in lieu of issuing new debt. Santa Rosa has confirmed that these reserves may be used for Sebastopol’s share of the project and has indicated a willingness to allow a temporary negative reserve balance, effectively functioning as a no-interest financing mechanism. Under this approach, no new debt or interest costs would be incurred.
The budget maintains funding levels previously assumed for debt service; however, those funds would be redirected toward rebuilding reserves and supporting future phases of the Llano Trunk Line project. In addition, the budget 7 Agenda Item Number 8
City Council Meeting Packet of June 2, 2026
DRAFT Agenda Item Number 8
continues to include a set-aside to prepare for future rehabilitation and capital improvements associated with the Llano Trunk Line.
Special Revenue Funds—including Gas Tax, Measure M, grant funds, and impact fee-supported projects—are budgeted in accordance with authorized uses and available fund balances.to support capital improvement projects.
The projects can be found in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Highlighted projects from these funds include:
Category Name Total Budget Funded Unfunded
Bikes, Pedestrians & Safety $1,453,747 $1,193,290 $260,457 Parks Projects $3,785,000 $185,000 $3,600,000

Capital Investment and Transfers
A significant element of the FY 2026–27 budget is its investment in infrastructure, with particular emphasis on street maintenance. The City proposes $1.12 million in General Fund transfers (inclusive of carryover from the prior fiscal year), directed primarily toward the following:
• Citywide pavement repairs and pavement improvement projects • Completion of prior-year capital projects
• Police facility and Corporation Yard improvements
Measure U local sales tax revenues provide essential support for these investments. Proposed allocations slightly exceed the City’s 40% policy guideline on a cumulative basis, reflecting the urgency of addressing deferred infrastructure needs while remaining broadly consistent with adopted policy targets.
Key Considerations and Final Notes
The FY 2026–27 Proposed Budget is designed to strike an appropriate balance between fiscal discipline and the continued delivery of essential services and infrastructure investment. While the City is drawing upon reserves, those resources are being deployed deliberately and purposefully to:
• Address long-deferred infrastructure needs
• Sustain essential City Municipal Services:
o Public Safety
o Public Works / Infrastructure
o Planning/Building Services
o General Government/City Administration
Looking ahead, staff will continue to closely monitor revenue performance—including potential receipts from future hotel development—as well as labor and benefit cost trends and overall reserve adequacy. Mid-year budget updates will be presented to the City Council as economic and fiscal conditions warrant. City staff has also created internal controls for cost recovery.
I would like to recognize and thank the members of the Budget Committee, Vice Mayor Sandra Maurer and Councilmember Phill Carter for their thoughtful leadership and steady commitment throughout this year’s budget process. Their careful review, constructive feedback, and willingness to devote significant time to difficult policy and financial decisions played an important role in strengthening the final budget. Their engagement and diligence helped ensure the document is both accurate and forward-looking.
I would also like to thank the Enterprise Fund Oversight Committee for their dedicated service and valuable guidance.
Their careful oversight helps ensure our Water and Wastewater funds remain strong, transparent, and financially healthy.

Developing this year’s budget was a demanding but truly collaborative effort. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our Administrative Services staff, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to support every City department through the budget process. I’m also deeply grateful to all department directors for their professionalism, patience, and thoughtful input. Their willingness to engage in tough conversations and work through complex financial and operational challenges made all the difference.
Finally, I want to thank the residents and businesses of Sebastopol.
It is truly a privilege to serve such an engaged, thoughtful, and caring community. I am optimistic about the future and look forward to continuing this next chapter together.

2.1 Downtown & Public Space Safety
2.1.1 Increase public safety patrols

Unknown Police
Unfreezing the frozen
officer position would
likely be about $200k
Not budgeted
FY 26 27 Budget

position
Low
This goal contemplates an increase in proactive patrols. Achieving this level of proactivity will require all currently authorized patrol officer positions to be filled, with those officers fully trained and operating independently (typically within one year of hire, depending on the individual).
In addition, any effort to expand public safety proactivity would benefit from unfreezing the remaining officer position. This would allow for the scheduling of an additional officer, providing the necessary staffing overlap to support enhanced proactive patrols and the development of additional program areas. Polci Department is currently reviewing as requested by the CIty Council information on community service volunteer program which can help to increase community policing. Staff to return in the fall with an update of the volunteer programs as it is estiamted that other than the frozen position the Department should be fulled staffed.

Significant
Conducting a comprehensive review of all department programs, along with developing updated policies, procedures, and supporting documentation, would require a significant investment of staff time that is not currently available.
Similarly, planning for and managing recruitment processes associated with program delivery, including selection, onboarding, and assignment of personnel or volunteers, would require dedicated oversight from initial recruitment through implementation and ongoing operations. Providing appropriate training, guidance, and supervision to personnel and volunteers performing these functions would further increase staffing demands.
At current staffing levels, the department does not have sufficient capacity to effectively support, manage, and sustain these efforts without impacting core service delivery. Additional staff time or resources would be necessary to undertake these initiatives.
2.2 Homelessness Enforcement
2.2.1 Increase police foot patrols
downtown and engage with homeless
individuals
Unknown Police Unfrozen position
around $200k Not budgeted
FY 26 27 Budget
does not propose
unfreezing of this
position.
Low
Officers currently conduct patrols within the scope of their existing responsibilities during each shift. Given current staffing levels and the remaining frozen position, the department is unable to further increase foot patrols or have officers away from their patrol vehicles for extended periods beyond brief intervals. Maintaining immediate availability to respond to priority calls for service is essential. Operating with less officers and not all positions available and filled places constraints on our ability to provide any additional public safety services and program areas.
Delays in response due to officers being engaged in foot patrols could expose the department, its personnel, supervisors, and the city to potential and significant liability.
With full staffing and appropriate shift overlap, the department would have greater flexibility to deploy additional officers, allowing for expanded patrol strategies such as foot patrols and bicycle patrols, while still ensuring that sufficient units remain in vehicles and ready to respond to calls for service at all times.

Low
This information is tracked by police department dispatch within the records management system, as well as by both WCCS and HEART, although the level of detail and accountability varies between agencies. HEART provides more comprehensive and detailed information, largely due to its collaborative working relationship with the police department.
2.3 Traffic Enforcement & Visibility
2.3.1 Conduct traffic enforcement and
speed control Ongoing Police About $30k Not budgeted
This is not
budgeted.
Low
Speed enforcement is ongoing and conducted as part of day-to-day operational responsibilities. The department also deploys a grant-funded speed trailer at various locations throughout the city. This trailer has proven to be highly effective and is well received by residents, who frequently request its placement in areas of concern and often report noticeable reductions in vehicle speeds while it is deployed.
At the time the Chief of Police assumed the role in March 2025, no patrol vehicles were equipped with radar units. Since then, radar units have been purchased, to be installed as part of the two most recent patrol vehicle acquisitions, with the intent of training officers in their use and increasing speed enforcement capabilities.
Additional radar units are still needed to equip the remaining patrol vehicles; however, cost remains a limiting factor. It is estimated that approximately $25,000 would be required to fully outfit the fleet with radar units, along with an additional $6,000 to procure at least two LIDAR devices for targeted speed enforcement in areas where mobile radar is not suitable, or appropriate.

Unknown Police N/A N/A N/A Low
The Chief of Police is not inclined to modify the color of the flashing lights on the speed trailer. The lights are only activated when a vehicle is traveling significantly above the posted speed limit and are consistent in color with those used by law enforcement vehicles during traffic stops for similar violations and also similar stationary speed alert equipment throughout the nation.
These lights are industry standard and are intentionally designed to serve as a strong visual deterrent to encourage drivers to reduce speed. Public feedback indicates that the trailer has been highly effective in slowing traffic in areas where it is deployed.

2.5 Emergency Preparedness & Disaster
Resilience
2.5.1 Finalize Emergency Operations Plan
(EOP)
Ongoing. Going before council for
review May 19th
Police N/A N/A Moderate
The Chief of Police has been working diligently on this effort, as part of being assigned the Director of Emergency Management role for the city, which in itself represents a full-time commitment. He has also been appointed to several emergency management groups to ensure the City of Sebastopol benefits from a high level of expertise, collaboration, and preparedness.
2.5.2 Conduct trainings for Council, staff,
and EOC Ongoing Police N/A N/A Moderate
Trainings were organized and scheduled by the Chief of Police in 2025 as part of his responsibilities in the delegated role of Director of Emergency Management. Additional trainings will continue to be scheduled as operational demands permit and as deemed appropriate and necessary.
2.5.3 Install backup generator for
EOC/Police Station 1 y Public Works / Police $370k Budgeted yes 40 The Police Station backup generator is programed in the FY27 CIP budget. 1002-25.04. IRR has started the design with the funding from this fiscal year.
2.5.4 Promote CERT trainings and
volunteer programs (community
service, mounted horse unit)
Unknown Police N/A N/A Low
CERT does not fall within the responsibility of the Police Department or the City of Sebastopol, as it is a countyrun initiative. The responsible county department was contacted previously and advised that they may coordinate and conduct trainings within the city. The Chief of Police also offered use of the police department’s trainingroomshouldthey determineit wouldsupport theirprogram. The police department does not oversee or have administrative or operational control of the CERT program.
With respect to the CSV and other volunteer-based programs, this has been addressed in a separate section above. The ability to support and expand these programs is dependent on the department being fully staffed and personnel being fully trained. Once those operational goals are met, the department will have the necessary capacity to take on additional program areas and provide appropriate oversight for their development and implementation.
2.6 Longer-Term Public Safety
Improvements
2.6.1 Evaluate best practices in public
safety delivery models to reduce
overtime; review shared services
Unknown Police N/A N/A Moderate
Fully staffing the department and unfreezing the remaining position will significantly reduce overtime costs, as officers will no longer need to backfill shifts created by training requirements, sick leave, vacation time, compensatory time, and other routine absences.
There are no viable best practices that will meaningfully alleviate this overtime issue under current staffing levels. The primary driver is a lack of personnel, a condition inherited by the Chief of Police in March 2025, which he has been actively working to address. Absent a number of recent candidates failing background investigations, the department would be fully staffed at this time, with the exception of the currently frozen position, however, these background investigations exist to ensure the city is staffed with the best candidate available.
Additionally, while shared services are sometimes raised as a potential solution, they are not a simple or immediate option in the public safety context. Implementation would require navigating employee associations, existing MOUs, and formal meet and confer obligations. There is also a general reluctance among staff to pursue this model for a variety of operational and practical reasons, further limiting its viability as a near-term solution. However City staff will continue review of shared services as invitation to meet with bargaining groups have been sent.

The Chief of Police has strongly advocated for the continued support and expansion of the HEART program by both the city and the county, citing its demonstrated success. Based on his professional experience, the program has proven to be one of the most effective initiatives he has been involved with in this service area.

This item requires both adequate staffing and the ability to direct staff time to streamlined permit processing. Some outside services may be needed depending on the expertise of individual staff. Could be mostly absorbed by a fully staffed department with minimal consultant time, but would require additional City Attorney time and may require
limited consultant time.

Mission Statement
The Building Department of City of Sebastopol strives to implement State and City codes in a fair and equitable manner, in an expedient manner. Permit issuance for most projects in days not weeks or months.
