bookkeeping practices. The independent auditor’s unmodified report provides assurance that the ACFR, and audited information within, present fairly the City’s financial position for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2025.

As part of the ACFR, staff provides detailed information and recommendations on the General Fund Operating balance. For FY 2024-25, the General Fund has a positive fund balance of $7 million. Staff will present recommendations for fund balance appropriations to the City Council in the first part of the 2026 calendar year. This timeline allows for a detailed analysis of the fund balance, including revenue updates, requests to re-appropriate unutilized budget appropriations, one-time expenditure requests for department operations, programs, or special projects, and reserve allocations. The proposed steps above will result in budget adjustments for the current fiscal year.

Strategic Plan Goal(s):

Goal No. 1 Financial Stability: Ensure the City’s long-term financial stability and resilience.

Recommendations:

1. Receive and file the City’s ACFR for FY 2024-25.

2. Direct staff to return the first part of the 2026 calendar year with proposed appropriations for the FY 2024-25 General Fund positive fund balance.

Staff outlined the differences between commissions and committees, explained the formation and purpose of the SCC and DCC, and presented estimates of staff resources dedicated to supporting each committee. The City Council then directed staff to return with a framework for ad hoc and standing committees that provides structure and establishes criteria to ensure that all committees have a specific workplan and to ensure the City allocates resources appropriately. Staff drafted a proposed policy that provides parameters for both standing and ad hoc committees for City Council consideration.

Strategic Plan Goal(s):

Goal No. 5 High-Functioning Government: Strengthen internal communication, recruitment, retention, systems, and processes to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of City services.

Recommendation:

Staff recommend the City Council approve the proposed City Council Committee Policy.
c. POTENTIAL DESIGNATION OF AN ANNUAL JESSIE NELSON DAY OF

REMEMBRANCE
Summary:

Jesse Nelson served as the first mayor of Signal Hill at the time of its incorporation. Her role was historically significant not only because she helped guide the newly formed city through its earliest governance decisions, but because she did so as a female mayor at a time when women in political leadership were rare. Her tenure set an aspirational tone for the city, promoting progressive thought, civic responsibility, and an inclusive approach to community building. At the City Council meeting of September 9, 2025, City Council provided staff with direction to propose a Jessie Nelson Day of Remembrance and provide ideas for programming to recognize her accomplishments and contributions to the City.

Strategic Plan Goal(s):

Goal No. 5: High-Functioning Government: Strengthen internal communication, recruitment, retention, systems, and processes to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of City services.

c. LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH CLEARGOV, INC. FOR CITYWIDE BUDGET

PREPARATION SOFTWARE
Summary:

The City prioritizes fiscal responsibility and regularly assesses opportunities to enhance efficiencies in operations. ClearGov is a U.S.-based software company that provides cloud-based budgeting, planning, and financial reporting tools for local governments, counties, special districts, school districts, and similar public-sector agencies. ClearGov also improves transparency by providing clear, public-facing financial dashboards that help residents understand how funds are used. Providing interactive software that is easily accessible to staff in a central location would enable the delivery of a more transparent and robust final product to stakeholders.

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with ClearGov, Incorporated for Citywide Budget Preparation Software. ClearGov was awarded a software contract in early 2025 through the Local Government Purchasing Cooperative, known as BuyBoard, following a competitive bidding process.

The initial contract would begin with implementation on January 1, 2026, and remain in effect until June 30, 2031. The contract includes complimentary implementation and a six-month pro-rata subscription fee of $15,000, covering a six-month period for the remainder of FY 2025-26. The proposed agreement would transition to an annual contract on July 1, 2026, and will automatically renew annually with the option to terminate each year. The annual cost for Year 2 is $32,530, with a 3% annual increase in subsequent years.

If approved, the budget software investment would enhance the City's budget processes, encompassing operational, personnel, and capital project budgets into a single budget software solution.

Strategic Plan Goal(s):

Goal No. 1 Financial Stability: Ensure the City’s long-term financial stability and resilience.

Goal No. 5 High-Functioning Government: Strengthen internal communication, recruitment, retention, systems, and processes to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of City services.

Recommendation:

1. Approve the terms of the Service Order and Service Agreement with ClearGov, Incorporated for the activation and deployment of citywide budget preparation software for the fiscal year 2025-26; and
