PROJECT PURPOSE & DESCRIPTION:
The Bike Paths/Trails - Measure U Equivalent Funds project represents the City's ongoing commitment to support the construction and maintenance of Class I bike and multi-use trails in accordance with countywide transportation sales tax requirements.
Under Measure T, jurisdictions were required to contribute 6.67% of annual Measure T revenues from other eligible sources toward trail infrastructure. With the adoption of Measure U, this requirement has increased to
7.0%
Key components of the project include: -Annual allocation of funds for planning, designing, constructing, or maintaining Class I trail infrastructure. -Use of General Fund, Development Impact Fees, and eligible federal and state grant funds to meet this obligation. -Ensuring compliance with county and regional transportation funding requirements to maintain eligibility for Measure T/U revenues.
This project serves as a financial placeholder and tracking mechanism to support bike/pedestrian improvements throughout the city and Napa County.

PROJECT PURPOSE & DESCRIPTION:
The Measure U Maintenance of Effort (MOE) project is established to track the City's annual compliance with funding obligations required under Measure U, Napa County's transportation sales tax measure. Similar to Measure T, Measure U requires jurisdictions to contribute a minimum percentage of General Fund revenues to local street and road maintenance as a condition of continued eligibility for Measure U funding. Key elements include: -Tracking of City staff time, materials, and contractor expenses related to routine maintenance of public roadways. -Ensuring transparent documentation of MOE expenditures for annual audits and compliance reporting. -Supporting the City's ongoing investment in street maintenance beyond capital improvement projects.
To comply with MOE provisions, jurisdictions must expend: -At least 20% of the most recently audited General Fund revenues in the first year, and at least 20% annual thereafter, with increases not to exceed 2% above the prior year.
PROJECT NOTES:
•FY26 - The initial MOE obligation is based on NVTA-TA Independent Tax Oversight Committee (ITOC) guidance, presented in Agenda Item 8.4 (March 5, 2025). -Project budgets for FY27-FY30 reflect a 2% annual increase, consistent with Measure U's capped escalation limits.
-The City will use this CIP project to formally track MOE-related expenditures as required under Measure U's reporting framework.

Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy

Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
a. In accordance with the St. Helena Municipal Code the operating budget is prepared on a biennial budget cycle which passes a two-year spending plan but continues to appropriate funds on an annual basis (a “rolling” biennial budget). Within this budget, City Council approves funds for two years with staff providing City Council mid-year budget reports and a mid-cycle report to update revenues and expenses as necessary. b. The biennial operating budget will be adopted by the City Council no later than June 30th of each budget year. The budget will include appropriations that provide expenditure authority to public officials responsible for operating their respective departments to fulfill obligations to provide public services as delegated by the City Council. c. Funds may not be expended for a new fiscal year until the budget for that fiscal year has been adopted by City Council or special provisions have been adopted by the City Council.
d. The budget presented must be balanced, which is when total projected expenditures do not exceed total estimated revenues. If projected expenditures exceed total estimated revenues, City Council may approve a planned use of accumulated fund balances in prior years for inclusion in the budget.
e. A 10-year Financial Forecast (Long Range Financial Forecast) shall be prepared annually projecting revenues and expenditures for the General Fund. This forecast shall be used as a planning tool in developing the operating budget. One-time revenue sources are not to be relied upon to fund on-going operations.
2. Controlling and Adjusting the Biennial Budget
a. The City structures and controls its budget by use of the following funds:
i. General Fund - is the primary operating fund of the City. It accounts for the receipt of property tax, general sales tax, transient occupancy tax, and other general revenues available to finance City operations. The General Fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures that do not fit the criteria to be accounted for in other funds with external restrictions imposed by their respective financing sources.
ii. Special Funds - account for resources externally restricted for use by their respective funding sources, such as grant programs financed by the State and Federal governments.
iii. Enterprise Funds - account for water and wastewater systems, and may be used for fee-based programs if the intention is to recoup almost all City costs through fees or other charges.
Budget Page 456
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
iv. Internal Service Funds - account for centralized service costs (such as vehicle services made available to all operating departments). Charges from the internal service funds appear as an expenditure in the user department, and as revenue in the central service department.
b. The City’s budget is controlled at the fund level by the City Council. i. The City Council, as representatives of the public, is the sole authority for creating or increasing expenditure appropriations within a fund. The City Council is also the exclusive authority for approving changes in revenue estimates with funds.
c. Department Directors will be held directly responsible and accountable for their budgets as originally adopted by the City Council or as thereafter revised in accordance with this policy. The level of expenditure control for departments is at the departmental level. d. Departments that operate programs among different funds are limited to the appropriation levels within any one fund. This policy also describes the level of authority needed to amend the adopted budget.
3. Transfers and revisions to the adopted budget:
a. The City Council approves:
i. All increases in appropriations within a fund.
ii. All transfers of appropriations between funds.
iii. All decreases in appropriations, with the exception that the City Manager may direct Department Directors to suspend
expenditures pending Council consideration of decreases in appropriations needed to respond to fiscal emergency.
b. The City Manager approves:
i. The City Manager may make budget transfers between
departments or programs as long as those changes do not increase overall appropriations within any one given fund.
Transfers between funds, overall increases in fund
appropriations, and overall increases in project budgets can only be made through City Council action.
c. Department Directors may authorize the transfer of appropriations within a department, except transfers: (1) that would purport an increase in the number of regular personnel, and (2) that would decrease appropriations for capital outlay.
d. Finance Department:
i. The Finance Department is responsible for providing forms and instructions for requesting appropriation adjustments, and for analyzing and recommending adjustments to the City Manager.
Budget Page 457
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
The Finance Department will record approved budgets and adjustments into the City’s financial system.
ii. The Finance Department will ensure that the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) includes a comparison of actual expenditures against the final budget, as amended and adjusted under the authorities of this policy.
4. Operating expenditure appropriations not spent during the fiscal year lapse at year-end, except for:
a. Encumbrances or commitments, as in the form of finalized purchase orders made during the fiscal year that have not been completed at year-end.
b. Appropriations for capital improvement projects and ongoing grants with a life-cycle beyond one year.
5. Governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting while proprietary and fiduciary fund types are budgeted on a full accrual basis of accounting. The ACFR presents City’s finances on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis and the City’s budget is prepared in conformance with these standards.
6. The City’s budget must comply with the annual determination of the City’s appropriations limit (GANN Limit) calculated in accordance with Article XIIB of the Constitution of the State of California and the City shall adopt an annual resolution to this effect.
C. Capital Improvement Program
1. The City will develop and maintain a comprehensive capital improvement project list. As part of the list, the City will develop and maintain a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to be updated annually for authorization to spend in the upcoming fiscal year. The CIP should reflect the current and changing needs of the community as well as enhance the community’s quality of life.
a. Note: The five-year CIP is not a budget commitment, and its acceptance by City Council does not provide officials the authority to spend. The plan is an expression of recognized needs, and a tool for use in budgeting.
2. All projects within the CIP are to be tracked systematically and reports should clearly indicate funding provided, expenditures incurred, and required future Budget Page 458
Agenda Item #12.1.

funding by project. Each project on the 5-year CIP list should include the following:
a. Name of project
b. Brief description of project
c. Project Phases (e.g. design, construction, construction management, etc.)
d. CIP Category (Civic, Streets, Stormwater, Water, Wastewater) e. CIP Number
f. Annual cost estimates
g. Source of funds
h. Unfunded CIP needs
3. CIP cost and project estimates should be updated and presented to the City Council every six months. Estimated annual costs over the lifetime of each project on the list will be refreshed every six months with this data being used as part of the Long-Range Financial Forecast.
4. In addition to the 5-year CIP list, the City will maintain a 30-year project list to better plan for long-term capital needs. This list will be updated on a biennial basis during odd years (opposite of the biennial budget cycle). This update will account for change in priorities based upon regulatory compliance, infrastructure needs, funding availability, and cost estimates. Updated costs over the lifetime of each project will be used as part of the Long-Range Financial Forecast
5. Capital improvements that specifically benefit a select group of users and/or are fee-for-service based are to be financed/funded through user fees, service charges, special assessments and taxes, or development impact fees.
6. Funding and Financing
a. Funding refers to the stream of public agency revenue that pays for or offsets the cost of an asset or service or supports repayment of debt that finances the asset.
b. Financing refers to the method of paying for an asset or service, including debt financing.
7. A Capital improvement budget should systematically identify potential funding sources and financing options and match those resources to the capital needs identified in the Capital Improvement Program. It should also identify which capital needs the agency will fund, when it will fund them, and from what resource.
Budget Page 459
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
8. Capital improvements that specifically benefit a fee-for-service enterprise operation (such as Water/Wastewater) are to be financed/funded through the service fees generated within that operation and fund, except in the event the voters of the City approve taxes or assessments for the purpose of financing and/or funding such capital improvements, in which case revenues from the voter approved taxes or assessments may also be used to finance and/or fund those capital improvements. Fees charged for enterprise operations should be supported by periodic updates to the rate study prepared for those fees in accordance the California Constitution and all applicable laws. a. Notwithstanding the above paragraph, the city recognizes there may be emergency situations where enterprise operation capital improvements may need additional funding outside of the service fee structure, which may include direct borrowing and issuance of revenue bonds, and outside voter authorized initiatives. For the completion of critical enterprise capital projects, City Council may authorize use of General Fund unassigned fund balance in the following situations:
i. Life and safety emergencies
ii. Project completion is required (via mandate, cease and desist order, etc) and the current rate structure does not support the full cost to complete project.
9. The following shall be taken into consideration when using General Fund unassigned fund balance that specifically benefits a fee-for-service enterprise operation:
a. The City Council shall find that an emergency or extraordinary need exists to justify the use of these funds. Funds shall be appropriated only after the City Manager and Administrative Services Director have prepared and presented to the City Council an analysis of the emergency or extraordinary need that addressed the nature of the proposed expenditure(s) and any associated revenue requirements in subsequent years.
b. Use of fund balance does not cause the General Fund to fall below the reserve level identified in Section III.J.1.
i. If situation arises where reserve level may/will fall below the level identified in Section III.J.1., the City Manager and Administrative Services Director shall provide a funding plan to the City Council, including proposed source(s) of funding and a timeline to bring the balance of the General Fund reserve to the level identified in Section III.J.1.

c. Although use of unassigned General Fund monies are considered unrestricted and may be used for any municipal purpose, the use of unassigned fund balance to an enterprise fund will normally be considered an interfund loan (see Section III.L) unless Council otherwise finds and documents an exigent need.
10. Transfers of resources to the CIP fund will be evaluated on an annual basis dependent upon the existence of available surplus dollars.
11. The City should strive to maximize the use of capital grants and State assistance in funding capital improvements before utilizing general revenue sources.
12. Funding Capital Improvements
The CIP uses a variety of funding sources to support projects. This section outlines some of the more common municipal funding sources used for funding capital improvements.
a. Pay-as-you Go (Cash or Pay-Go)
Debt financing is not always the most cost-effective way to purchase assets. Many times, the costs of interest and financing outweigh the costs of paying with cash, if that is an option. Pay-GO avoids these additional costs, but the agency must pay the full cost of the asset at the outset. Improvements typically made through the Pay-Go program tend to be smaller in scale and/or short-term improvements.
Additionally Pay-Go can be used to provide an additional funding source and offset long-term borrowing and used in conjunction with borrowing.
b. Long-Term Financing Methods
i. General Obligation Bonds (GO Bond)
• Permissible Projects – Acquisition and improvement of public property and facilities.
• Approval Procedure – Issuer resolution and ordinance; two-thirds voter approval.
• Source of Repayment – Ad Valorem property taxes
paid by owners of taxable property in the jurisdiction. ii. Special Assessment Bonds
• Permissible Projects – Acquisition of property and
improvement of infrastructure and additional facilities of benefit to the property that is charged.
• Approval Procedure – Engineers report, weighted
majority protect procedure.
Budget Page 461
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
• Source of Repayment – Assessments on the
property/fees limited special benefit to the property
that is being charged.
iii. Special Tax (e.g. Mello-Roos) Bonds
• Permissible Projects – Acquisition and improvement of public property and facilities.
• Approval Procedure – Two-thirds voter approval or –
where there are fewer than 12 registered voters – by
landowners in the proportion to land owned within
the Community Facilities District.
• Source of Repayment – Special tax on property within
community facilities district.
iv. Certificates of Participation
• Permissible Projects – Unrestricted use.
• Approval Procedure – Resolution of governing board
approving lease or installment agreement.
• Source of Repayment – Lease or installment sale
agreement paid from General Fund (lease) or
special/enterprise (installment sale) revenues.
v. Revenue Bonds
• Permissible Projects – Acquisition and improvement of revenue-producing public property and facilities.
• Approval Procedure – Issuer resolution and in some
instances public vote.
• Source of Repayment – Service charges and other fees
paid by users of project or services.
vi. Mark-Roos JPA Bonds
• Permissible Projects – Acquisition and improvement of public property, facilities, and/or equipment.
• Approval Procedure – Resolution of governing boards
of JPA and participating entities.
• Source of Repayment – Taxes, user fees, lease or
installment payments, from local agencies to JPA.
c. Development Impact Fees
Development Impact Fees are collected to mitigate the impact of new development in the community. The amount of the impact fee collected is based on a portion of the financing needed for identified public facilities. Property being developed is assessed the fee(s) at the time the building permit is issued.
d. Donations and Developer Funding
Budget Page 462
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
Projects may be funded by contributions and/or donations from private sources such as residents, developers, private organizations, and businesses. Contributions by developers and vendors may be reimbursed with City funds in future years through mechanisms such as a development agreement.
e. Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds account for specific services that are funded directly by fees and charges to users. These funds are intended to be fully selfsupporting and are not typically subsidized by any general revenue or taxes. Within each Enterprise Fund, budgets are developed which are sufficient to fund current year operations and maintenance expense, as well as provide for current and future years’ upgrade, replacement, and expansion-related capital construction requirements. f. Grants
Some projects are entirely or partially funded by grants and reimbursements from the State and federal government and other agencies. The receipts of certain grants and reimbursements typically follow the award of contracts.
D. Revenues
1. The City will strive to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to minimize the impact of economic fluctuation.
2. The City will seek out, apply for, and effectively administer Federal, State, and other grants that address the City’s current operating and capital priorities in accordance with P-FI-0007 – Grant Application and Management Policy.
3. The City will pursue revenue collection and auditing to assure that funds due to the City are accurately received in a timely manner.
4. Use of one-time revenues for ongoing expenditures is discouraged.
Unpredictable revenues, such as excess ERAF, are budgeted conservatively and any amount collected in excess of the budget is generally carried forward in the fund balance.
5. The City will seek reimbursement for State mandated costs whenever possible.
6. The City will adopt user fees with appropriate levels of cost recovery.
7. User fee studies should be performed and updated every five years to ensure the proper balance of costs and service charges. The City should strive to cover Budget Page 463

the full cost of providing non-tax and discretionary fee-based service operations except to the extent that City Council approves defined subsidy levels by program area.
8. Operating departments are to review public services to identify and determine those appropriate for fee collection. Recommendations for new fees are to be presented to the City Council for adoption to ensure fees reflect all direct and reasonable indirect costs of providing such services.
9. Enterprise operations, in general, are intended to be self-supporting.
E. Expenditures
1. Expenditures are to be budgeted and controlled so as to not exceed estimated revenues plus the approved and planned use of fund balances accumulated in prior years.
2. The City will conduct a mid-year financial status review to determine if projected revenues and expenditures meet target levels. If an operating deficit is projected at year-end, the City should evaluate the need for immediate corrective and/or mitigating actions, including operating or capital expenditure reductions and/or activate the use of established contingency balances. The deferral of essential and scheduled operational expenditures into the following fiscal year or the use of short-term loans and transfers to balance the budget should be avoided.
3. The City implements a formal purchasing system, principles, and guidelines to ensure that expenditure levels are monitored throughout the course of any fiscal year.
F. Cash Management
1. Annually the City’s Investment Policy P-FI-0002 is reviewed and presented to City Council for adoption.
2. Investments for the City are reported at fair value (generally based on quoted market prices). The State Treasurer’s Investment Pool and California Asset Management Program (CAMP) operate in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.

G. Debt Management
1. The types of debt appropriate for the City include the following: general obligation bonds, bond or grant anticipation notes, lease revenue bonds, certificates of participation and lease-purchase transactions, other revenue bonds and certificates of participation, land-secured financings, such as special tax revenue bonds issued under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, and limited obligation bonds issued under applicable assessment statutes, and tax increment financing to the extent permitted under state law. The City may from time to time find that other forms of debt would be beneficial to further its public purposes and may approve such debt without an amendment of this policy.
2. The City should plan the use of debt in a manner that sustains financial payments at manageable levels.
3. The City will strive to integrate its debt issuances with the goals of its capital improvement program by timing the issuance of debt to ensure that projects are available when needed in furtherance of public purposes. Normal wear and tear, upkeep and maintenance of its infrastructure and facilities should be paid from available operating revenues so as to avoid the use of debt to fund infrastructure and facilities improvements that are the result of normal wear and tear.
4. The purposes for which long term debt may be appropriate include the following: (i) the project to be financed is necessary to provide basic services, (ii) the project to be financed will provide benefit to constituents over multiple years, (iii) total debt does not constitute an unreasonable burden to the City or its taxpayers and ratepayers, (iv) the debt is used to refinance outstanding debt in order to produce debt service savings or to realize the benefits of a debt restructuring. The City will not issue long-term debt to fund current operations and will seek to avoid the use of debt to fund infrastructure and facilities improvements in circumstances when the sole purpose of such debt financing is to reduce annual budgetary expenditures. Debt financing should only be used for long-term capital improvement projects with a useful life exceeding the term of the financing and for which the project revenues or specific identified revenue sources are sufficient to service the long-term debt. Debt Financing can be used if the cost of financing is favorable as compared to the use of City investment holdings over the financing term.
5. It is a policy goal of the Issuer to protect taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents by utilizing conservative financing methods and techniques so as to obtain the Budget Page 465
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena

P-FI-0016
highest practical credit ratings (if applicable) and the lowest practical borrowing costs. The City will seek to maintain a high credit rating through sound financial practices as a basis for minimizing borrowing costs.
6. Internal control procedures shall include monitoring all forms of debt annually in conjunction with the budget preparation process and report concerns and remedies, if necessary, to the City Council, to ensure that proceeds of debt will be directed to the intended use.
7. The City will diligently comply with and monitor compliance with all bond covenants.
8. The City will cause to be prepared and will timely post to the Electronic Municipal Market Access database (EMMA) all required annual continuing disclosures and, if needed, any material event notices.
9. The City will monitor all debt obligations for ongoing tax compliance and arbitrage reporting.
10. The City will not incur general obligation indebtedness for public improvements which exceed in aggregate 15% of the assessed value of all real and personal property of the City as specified in the California Government Code Section 43605.
11. The City will maintain a minimum net revenue coverage ratio for the Water and Wastewater funds (all annual revenues remaining after operating and maintenance expenses, net of pass-through grants, to annual debt service requirements net of excess appropriations required for variable rate debt) as required by each funding source.
H. Fund Definitions
1. Governmental Fund Type Definitions
Governmental fund types include the General Fund, special revenue funds, capital projects funds, debt service funds, and permanent funds. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has clarified the definitions of these funds as follows:
a. General Fund – The General Fund should be used to account for and report all financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund.
b. Special Revenue Funds – Special revenue funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt Budget Page 466
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
service or capital projects. The restricted or committed proceeds of specific revenue sources should be expected to continue to comprise a substantial portion of the inflows reported in the fund. Other resources (investment earnings and transfers from other funds, for example) also may be reported in the fund if those resources are restricted, committed, or assigned to the specific purpose of the fund.
Governments should discontinue reporting a special revenue fund, and instead report the fund’s remaining resources in the general fund, if the government no longer expects that a substantial portion of the inflows will derive from restricted or committed revenue sources. c. Capital Projects Funds – Capital projects funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. Capital projects funds exclude those types of capital-related outflows financed by proprietary funds or for assets that will be held in trust for individuals, private organizations, or other governments. d. Debt Service Funds – Debt service funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest, even if it is being accumulated for further years’ payments. Debt service funds should be used to report resources if legally mandated.
e. Permanent Funds – Permanent funds should be used to account for and report resources that are restricted to the extent that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the reporting government’s programs. Permanent funds do not include privatepurpose trust funds, which should be used to report situations in which the government is required to use the principal or earnings for the benefit of individuals, private organizations, or other governments.
2. Proprietary Fund Type Definitions
Proprietary fund types include enterprise funds and internal service funds.
GASB has clarified the definitions of these funds as follows:
a. Enterprise Funds – GAAP provide that enterprise funds may be used to report any activity for which a fee is charged to external users for goods or services. Furthermore, a given activity must be accounted for in an enterprise fund if it meets any of the following criteria (in the context of its principal revenue sources):
i. There is outstanding debt that is backed solely by fees and charges;
Budget Page 467
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
ii. Laws or regulations require that fees and charges be set to recover costs, including capital costs (depreciation or debt service); or
iii. There is a pricing policy that fees and charges be set to recover costs, including capital costs (depreciation or debt service). b. Internal Service Funds – Internal service funds are used to report any activity that provides goods or services to other funds, departments, or agencies of the primary government and its component units, or to other governments, on a cost-reimbursement basis.
3. Fiduciary Fund Type Definitions
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require fiduciary funds to report assets held in trustee or agency capacity for others cannot be used to support the government’s own programs. Fiduciary funds, as reported in GAAP financial statements, never should include resources that can be used to support the government’s own programs. Within the fiduciary funds category, funds that involve a trust agreement that affects the degree of management involvement and the length of time that the resources are held are distinguished from funds that involve only the receipt, temporary investment and remittance of fiduciary resources. Fiduciary fund types include pension, investment trust funds, private-purpose trust funds, and agency funds. a. Pension Funds – Used to report resources that are required to be held in trust for the members and beneficiaries of defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans, or other postemployment benefit plans, or other employee benefit plans.
b. Investment Trust Funds – Used to report the external portion of investment pools reported by the sponsoring government. c. Private-purpose Trust Funds – Used to report all other trust arrangements under which principal and income benefit individuals, private organizations, or other governments.
d. Agency Funds – Used to report resources held by the reporting government in a purely custodial capacity.
I. Fund Balance Classifications
1. Governmental Fund Balances
a. Fund balance is defined as the difference between assets and liabilities and in Governmental funds is reported as fund balance. GASB No. 54 classified fund balances into the following categories:
i. Nonspendable: The nonspendable fund balance classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required Budget Page 468
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
to be maintained intact. The “not in spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash, for example, inventories and prepaid amounts. It also includes the long-term amount of loans and notes receivable, as well as property acquired for resale.
ii. Restricted: The restricted portion of fund balance is restricted to specific purposes. Examples are Gas Tax revenues and grant proceeds.
iii. Committed: The committed portion of fund balance is constrained by the limitations imposed through formal City Council action. Only formal City Council action can remove or modify a previously committed account.
iv. Assigned: The assigned portion of fund balance is established for intended use by either the City Council or its designee, such as the City Manager. No formal City Council action is needed to remove the intended use. GAAP required reserves, such as the Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) reserve, belong to this category.
v. Unassigned: The unassigned portion of fund balance is that remaining after the non-spendable, the restricted, the
committed, and the assigned fund balances are identified and recorded.
The City of St. Helena will use GASB’s definitions of fund balance for the annual ACFR and for all other financial reporting. For all financial planning purposes, the term Net Position or Fund Balance will be used and will include any portion of the fund balance that is available for appropriation.
Preferred order of use of governmental fund balances:
The City shall strive to use the most restricted fund balances prior to utilizing those that are less restricted. The following order of use reflects this guideline:
a. Non-spendable (if funds become spendable)
b. Restricted
c. Committed
d. Assigned
e. Unassigned
2. Proprietary and Fiduciary Fund Balances (Net Position) a. Fund balance is defined as the difference between assets and liabilities and in Proprietary and Fiduciary fund is reported as net position. GASB No. 63 classified reporting of net position into the following categories:
Budget Page 469
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
i. Net Investment in Capital Assets: The net investment in capital assets component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of those assets.
ii. Restricted for Capital Projects: The restricted component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Generally, a liability relates to restricted assets if the asset results from a resource flow that also results in the recognition of a liability or if the liability will be liquidated with restricted assets reported. iii. Unrestricted: The unrestricted component of net position is the net amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position.
J. Fund Balance Levels
The City of St. Helena has enacted the Fund Balance policies in an effort to ensure financial security through the maintenance of a healthy fund contingency balance that guides the creation, maintenance, and use of resources for financial stabilization purposes. The City’s primary objective is to maintain a prudent level of financial resources to protect against reducing service levels or raising taxes and fees due to temporary revenue shortfalls or unpredicted one-time expenditures. The City also seeks to maintain the highest possible credit ratings which are dependent, in part, on the City’s maintenance of a healthy fund balance.
Balances for each of the areas below will be reported to City Council when a use of fund balance is being recommended, during mid-year and mid-cycle budget report, and on an annual basis in conjunction with the audited financials.
1. General Fund
The City’s fiscal goal is to maintain annual expenditure increases at a sustainable growth rate, and to limit expenditures to anticipated revenues in order to maintain a balanced budget. The Council’s directed target is to maintain an unassigned fund balance of thirty percent (30%) of annual operating expenditures for the fiscal year.
a. Computing General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance Percentage The City’s minimum funding target for General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance is set to 30% of the General Fund annual operating expenditure, Budget Page 470
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
less significant one-time revenues and expenditures. Examples include, but are not limited to: strike teams (revenues and expenditures), FEMA reimbursements, grant funding, and large capital purchases. The General Fund is described as Fund 101 only. One-time revenues and expenditures will be separately identified for tracking purposes.
b. Use of General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance
Use of General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance will only be used in extraordinary circumstances, upon the satisfaction of one of the following “economic triggers” and with the majority vote of the City Council (via resolution and through the adopted budget and/or fiscal update):
• State take-away of significant revenue
• Large drop in Property Taxes
• Major business closures (sales tax impact)
• Large, unexpected drop in Sales or Transient Occupancy taxes or other primary revenues due to severe recession
Use of General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance below the 30% reserve provides for a transition period, giving the City adequate time to realign its operating costs with available resources, while minimizing service impacts.
In the event unassigned fund balance is used, the staff will develop a one (1) to five (5) year reserve replenishment plan to meet the minimum 30% fund balance level.
2. Unassigned Operating Reserve
These balances are hereby defined as unassigned by the City Council to allow the City to weather unpredicted cyclical and rapid downturns in the economy.
These funds would be available for use in such conditions to mitigate negative economic fiscal impacts or State takeaways and can be activated within any one budget cycle through Council action. An economic downturn would entail a projected and/or sudden drop in core revenues (major tax and service revenue loss) of equal to or greater than 10% (including the impact of inflation) and/or a change in economic parameters (such as interest rates, debt service rates, pension and health rates) that cause a material change in expenditures of 10% or more, or the occurrence of a local natural disaster or unexpected financial claim requiring the immediate use of cash balances.
3. Use of Year-End Fund Balance in Excess of Targeted Reserves Fund balance is a measurement of available financial resources. The Council recognizes that the maintenance of a fund balance is essential to the preservation of the financial integrity of the City. The City goal is to use fund Budget Page 471
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
balance as a source to finance one-time investments, reserves, and/or commitments. As a one-time financing source, any unbudgeted year-end fund balance will be used for nonrecurring expenditures and only after the yearly audit and confirmation of the General Fund’s fund balance. At the end of each fiscal year, the Finance Division reports on the audited year-end financial results. Should actual General Fund revenues exceed expenditures and encumbrances, a year-end operating surplus shall be reported. Any year-end surplus that results in the General Fund fund balance exceeding the 30% fund balance target required by the policy shall be available for allocation. Division of the surplus balance shall be recommended to the City Council by the City Manager or designee based on the most critical needs at that time. Priority of allocation shall be the following, subject to Council approval:
• Imminent liability
• Offset projected future deficits
• Loan repayment acceleration
• Fund PERS unfunded liabilities
• One-time funding, non-recurring needs
• Capital assets and infrastructure
4. Water and Wastewater Operating Fund Balances
The City should maintain balances in the Water and Wastewater Funds at a level sufficient to accommodate operating and capital needs. City Council’s directed target for the Water Fund is 10-14 months (83%-106%) of annual operating expenditures in cash and the Wastewater Fund 6-8 months (50%- 67%) of annual operating expenditures in cash. These amounts include cash balances in the Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Project Funds.
Multi-year fee studies for these funds should be updated periodically as a basis for defining the revenue sources necessary to maintain system infrastructure and required service levels. As a result of the periodic fee or master plan studies, adjustments to user charges may be necessary to maintain recommended fund balance levels.
K. Reserve Funds
Saving for future projects, acquisitions and other allowable purposes is an important planning consideration for local governments. Reserve funds provide a mechanism for legally saving money to finance all or part of future infrastructure, equipment, and other requirements. Reserve funds can also provide a degree of financial stability by reducing reliance on indebtedness to finance capital projects and acquisitions. In uncertain economic times, reserve funds can also provide officials with a welcomed budgetary option that can help mitigate the need to cut services or to raise taxes. In good times, money not needed for current purposes can often be set aside in reserves Budget Page 472
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy

P-FI-0016
for future use. Expenditures from specific capital reserve funds can only be made upon authorization by the City Council.
Reserve funds may generally be funded with:
c. Budgetary appropriations
d. Revenues not required by law to be paid into any other fund or account.
1. Capital Reserve Fund
Building, facilities, and infrastructure supported by the General Fund shall have a replacement reserve fund established and maintained to provide for the timely replacement of City owned fixed assets. The balance is hereby defined as assigned by the City Council to allow the City to maintain an infrastructure reserve with a target balance equivalent to the projected annual cost of the first year Capital Improvement Plan fund expenditures.
2. Equipment, Technology, & Vehicle Replacement Reserve Fund The balance is hereby defined as assigned by the City Council to allow the City to set aside an appropriate amount of money to property fund equipment, technology, and vehicle replacement. The City shall develop a vehicle, technology, and equipment replacement schedule and shall set aside funding annually in this reserve based on this schedule.
3. Employee Benefit Accrued Liability Reserve Fund
To be used to pay for any accrued “employee benefit” due an employee on termination of the employee’s service with the City. The City’s policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave benefits which are eligible for payment upon separation from service. While the sick leave benefit is no longer available to the newly hired, legacy retiring employees have the option of applying 100% of their unused sick leave accrued towards the payment of continuation insurance premiums, to the extent allowed by law. The City should set aside funding annually in this reserve to match the current liabilities.
L. Interfund Loans
Interfund loans are the lending of cash from one City fund to another for a specific purpose and with a requirement of repayment. Interfund loans are typically shortterm in nature and constitute the allocation of cash between individual funds for working capital purposes.
Interfund loans are temporary borrowing of cash and may be made for the following reasons:
Budget Page 473
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
• To offset timing differences in cash flow.
• To offset timing differences between expenditures and reimbursements, typically associated with grant funding.
• To provide funds for interim financing in conjunction with obtaining long-term financing.
• For short-term borrowing in place of external financing.
Interfund loans are not to be used to solve ongoing structural budget issues or hindering the accomplishment of any function or project for which the lending fund was established. Interfund loans are not to be used from fiscal year to fiscal year as a financing strategy. If a fund has a negative cash balance, a plan for reaching positive cash balance must be presented to City Council. A negative cash balance must be addressed in the fiscal year that the fund reaches negative cash.
Interfund loan monies may only be used for the purpose identified in the authorizing resolution. Appropriate accounting records will be maintained to reflect the balance of loans in every fund affected by such transactions. A summary of all outstanding interfund loans will be included in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).
1. Interfund Loan Terms
a. Repayment of an interfund loan shall be within the same fiscal year, unless otherwise stated in the Council Resolution.
b. When required by the lending fund’s restrictions or regulations, interest will be paid by the borrowing fund to the lending fund, during the time the loan is outstanding.
c. The Council must approve interfund loans by resolution. Council approval and the resolution will include the following terms of the loan:
i. Purpose of Interfund Loan
ii. Identification of the source fund
1. Availability of unrestricted funds in the source fund
2. Review of multi-year plans for use of source fund cash
3. Analysis of legal or contractual restrictions
iii. Repayment of Interfund Loan
1. Repayment must have a payment source and funding
stream
2. Specific repayment schedule
3. Interest imposed at a rate equal to at lease investment earnings if loan did not occur (see Section III.K.2)
iv. Other Considerations
1. Feasibility of repayment
Budget Page 474
Agenda Item #12.1.
City of St. Helena
City Council Policy
Finance
Policy
Financial Policy
P-FI-0016
2. Interfund Loan Interest
The following guidelines should be used in establishing the rate of interest:
a. Not lower than the “opportunity cost” if the funds were otherwise invested, such as the Local Agency Investment Fune (LAIF) or the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) pooled interest rate. b. Treasury yields or short-term bond yields for a similar term. c. Not higher than the external rate available to the City.
Interest is not required in the following circumstances:
a. The borrowing fund has no independent source of revenue other than the lending fund; or
b. The borrowing fund is normally funded by the lending fund; or c. The lending fund is the General Fund, which, being unrestricted, can loan interest-free, except to a proprietary fund (i.e., enterprise funds such as water and wastewater).
M. Financial Reporting
Budget decisions are of primary concern for the City Council, City Management, the public, and various stakeholders. When considering the budget, staff presents updated projections for revenues and expenditures/expenses and the reports indicate whether prior estimates are tracking with the approved budget. Additionally, the external annual financial reporting for local governments involves producing the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) which is audited and produced by an independent, third party CPA/auditor. Throughout the year, the following reports are to be presented to City Council.
1. The City’s accounting and financial reports are to be maintained in conformance with GAAP.
2. Long Range Financial Forecast
a. A Long Range Financial Forecast (LRFF) for the City’s General Fund will be presented to City Council annually.
b. The LRFF provides a current and long-range financial assessment of revenues, expenditures, fund balance, and emergency reserves. The primary objective is to provide the City Council and the community with a financial forecast and identify any significant issues that may need to be addressed in the annual budget development process.
c. The LRFF will consist of a baseline forecast, a recession forecast, and any other forecasts deemed necessary.
d. The LRFF is a ten-year forecast.
e. The LRFF will be updated as necessary throughout the fiscal year.

3. Internal Financial Reporting
a. Internal financial reports help City Council, the public, and management to monitor budgetary compliance on a timely basis. b. Internal financial reports often provide more detail on individual departments than does general purpose external financial reporting (Section 4 below) and does not require an independent auditor review and audit.
c. Internal financial reporting for all funds are to be issued on a periodic and timely basis – no less than semi-annually and no more than 45 days after the close of the period. The report will provide detailed information for the General, Water, and Wastewater Funds and summary information for all funds will be included as attachments to the report. The report will include a summary of all checks over $50,000 issued during that interval.
d. A mid-cycle report will be provided by June of each non-biennial budget cycle. This report will provide detailed information for the General, Water, and Wastewater Funds and summary information for all funds will be included as attachments to the report. Updates to revenues and expenses will be provided and recommended to City Council as necessary.
e. An end of the fiscal year unaudited report will be issued no more than 60 days after the close of Q4 with end of year estimates for revenues and expenditures/expenses for all funds.
f. Periodic reports will compare the adopted budget (Original Budget), adjusted budget (Final Budget), and the year-to-date actuals (Actual Amounts).
4. External Financial Reporting - Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) a. An annual financial audit will be performed by an independent public accounting firm familiar with municipal government activities. The independent auditor will issue an audit opinion to be included in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Additionally, the ACFR and Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Compliance will be presented to the City Council.
b. The ACFR is a set of financial statements for a state, municipality, or other governmental entity that comply with the accounting requirements established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

c. In addition to the General, Water, and Wastewater Funds, the City also accounts for activities in approximately 70 special revenue funds that account for monies received from external parties with restrictions on their respective uses. The audit process ensures that the purposes of the various funds were carried out and the relative authorities to spend were honored.
d. The external auditor prepares financial reports for each fund based on the requirements of the funding source and once all funds are audited, they are accounted for in the financial statements, combining schedules, and notes to the financial statements.
e. Unless extraneous circumstances occur, the City will rotate audit service providers every five years. If an auditor is being retained for longer than five years, the reason must be included in a staff report to City Council at the time of the contract execution or renewal. f. The ACFR will be completed no later than December 31st following the close of the fiscal year.
g. The City is encouraged to submit the Annual ACFR to State and/or national government finance professional organizations (Governmental Finance Officers’ Association’s Certification of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, California Society of Municipal Finance Officers ACFR Award) for independent review and evaluation.
N. Review and Update
This financial policy will be reviewed periodically and updated, if necessary, to reflect any changing requirements.
