City Attorney’s Office

Add 1.0 FTE Legal Assistant I
Expenditure: $85,566 (General Fund)
The City Attorney’s Office is requesting the addition of a 1.0 FTE Legal Assistant I to provide administrative support in response to increased legal service demands. Rising workload levels 2 Finance and Governmental Operations Council Committee December 11, 2025
8 1
2 have created a need for additional assistance to ensure timely and efficient processing of legal matters. This position will support all divisions by improving workflow efficiency, meeting administrative deadlines, and assisting with contract routing to facilitate quicker turnaround and more responsive service delivery.
City Manager’s Office
Communications Division Leadership Realignment
Delete 1.0 FTE Deputy City Manager and Add 1.0 FTE Communications Manager Expenditure: $(39,632) (General Fund)
The City Manager’s Office is requesting the conversion of 1.0 FTE Deputy City Manager to 1.0 FTE Communications Manager to restore the Communications Manager position as aligned with the 21st Century PIO (Public Information Officer) model. This role will lead the Communications Division and develop Citywide projects related to strategic messaging, enhancing transparency, and promoting civic initiatives. As well, it will focus supporting the City’s priority towards effective public communication and strengthening community relationships.
Production Staffing Classification Adjustment
Delete 1.0 FTE Production Assistant I and Add 1.0 FTE Production Assistant II Expenditure: $42,063 (General Fund)
The City Manager’s Office Communications Division is requesting the conversion of 1.0 FTE Production Assistant I to 1.0 FTE Production Assistant II. This conversion includes the elimination of the first three steps of the Production Assistant I classification to improve recruitment efforts and creates a new full-time Production Assistant II position, providing a clearer promotional pathway and strengthening retention within the City’s workforce.
Civil Service Division Summer Intern Program Enhancement Add 1.0 FTE Intern I
Expenditure: $36,753 (General Fund)
The City Manager’s Office Civil Service Division is requesting the addition of 1.0 FTE Intern I to establish a pooled FTE for the Summer Intern program, which makes the program paid opportunities. The Summer Intern program is a proven talent pipeline that provides students and recent graduates with hands-on experience, skill development, career exploration, and professional connections. The program has led to permanent hires across departments and feeds in the City’s Management Aid Program, supporting long-term workforce goals.
Assistant to the City Manager Benefit Adjustment
Expenditure: $8,592 (General Fund)
The City Manager’s Office Communications Division is requesting to update the Car Allowance Category for the Assistant to the City Manager position from Category 3 to Category 1, consistent with the Communications Manager position recommended to be added to the budget. 3 Finance and Governmental Operations Council Committee December 11, 2025
8 1
2 Decrease the General Fund Expenditure Budget by $(65,000) The City Manager’s Office is requesting a decrease in the Civil Service Division’s General Fund operating budget of $65,000, related to discipline matters.
Community Development Department
Planning Division Staffing Realignment
Delete 1.0 FTE Planning Associate and Add 1.0 FTE Senior Planner Expenditure: $14,523 (General Fund)
The Community Development Department is requesting the conversion of 1.0 FTE Planning Associate to 1.0 FTE Senior Planner. This conversion will align the job title with the responsibilities of the position as well as improve recruitment by attracting more experienced candidates who are able to take on complex planning projects and provide expert support to the Department. The proposed position would support ongoing projects in Development Review and Long-Range Planning program.
Community Services Department
Recreation and Cultural Services Program Staffing Enhancements Add 0.98 FTE Program Leader, Add 1.45 FTE Program Specialist, and Add 0.5 FTE Senior Program Specialist
Expenditure: $133,472 (General Fund)
The Community Services Department is requesting the addition of 0.98 FTE Program Leader,
1.45 FTE Program Specialist, and 0.5 FTE Senior Program Specialist within the Administration, Recreation, and Cultural Services Division. The proposed increase in Program Leader staffing will align part-time support with the current operational needs of the Torrance Certified Farmers’ Market, ensure the continuation of the People Actively Learning and Sharing (PALS) pickleball clinics—a specialized recreation program—for an additional year, and support expanded early childhood education class offerings in response to increased community demand.
The proposed increase in Program Specialist staffing will reinstate the chef position at the Bartlett Senior Center for onsite preparation of fresh, hot meals for adults aged 50 and older, and provide staffing support for expanded Torrance Summer Nights programming, including concerts in the park and other special events.
Finally, the additional 0.5 FTE Senior Program Specialist will provide dedicated staffing for the community garden plots at Columbia Park and Lago Seco Park and manage the special event permitting process. This position will also serve as the primary liaison for related activities and responsibilities previously overseen by the City Manager’s Office. 4 Finance and Governmental Operations Council Committee December 11, 2025

2 Civic Chorale Staffing Adjustment
Add 0.10 FTE Instructor II
Expenditure: $7,113 (General Fund)
The Community Services Department is requesting the addition of 0.10 FTE Instructor II to align part-time staffing with the current program needs of the Torrance Civic Chorale.
Library Leadership Staffing Realignment
Delete 1.0 FTE Program Coordinator, Delete 1.0 FTE Senior Librarian, and Add 1.0 FTE Assistant City Librarian
Expenditure: $1,070 (General Fund)
The Community Services Department is requesting the deletion of 1.0 FTE Program Coordinator and 1.0 FTE Senior Librarian, and the addition of 1.0 FTE Assistant City Librarian. In February 2024, an Assistant City Librarian position became vacant and was subsequently converted to a Senior Librarian position as part of the FY24-25 First Quarter Program Modifications. Since then, the Library has operated with only one Assistant City Librarian, who has absorbed responsibility for supervising Senior Librarians and overseeing daily operations related to facilities and technology. During this time, the City Librarian has taken on additional duties involving programming, outreach, and administrative functions, while the remaining Assistant City Librarian has managed operations at both the Katy Geissert and Henderson Libraries.
These shifts in responsibilities have coincided with increased community demand for programming, greater reliance on technology, and rising contractual and operational complexity, further stretching the leadership team. Reinstating a second Assistant City Librarian—focused on technical processing, circulation, technology, and operations—would restore balance to the management structure and strengthen the Library’s leadership capacity. This adjustment would also improve recruitment prospects for key leadership roles and enhance overall service delivery to the community.
Contract Security Guard at Main Library
Increase General Fund Expenditure Budget by $34,000
The Community Services Department is requesting to increase the operating expenditure budget by $34,000 to fund an additional security guard to provide enhanced patrol coverage at Katy Geissert Civic Center Library with rotation to Cultural Arts Center. 5 Finance and Governmental Operations Council Committee December 11, 2025
8 1
2 Finance Department
Budget Division Staffing Realignment
Delete 0.5 FTE Deputy Finance Director and Add 1.0 FTE Administrative Analyst Expenditure: $215 (General Fund)
The Finance Department is requesting to delete 0.5 FTE Deputy Finance Director and add 1.0 FTE Administrative Analyst to support the Budget Division. Following the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City implemented a zero-based budgeting strategy in 2021, which has increased the level of analytical support required for citywide budgeting and financial reporting.
The additional Administrative Analyst position will help manage the expanded workload associated with the division’s responsibility, enhance the accuracy and consistency of departmental budget submissions, and improve overall efficiency within the Budget Division.
Comprehensive User Fee & Development Impact Fee Study
Increase Capital Expenditure Budget by $100,000
The Finance Department is requesting to increase the capital expenditure budget by $100,000 to fund a comprehensive User Fee Study and Development Impact Fee Study. The City strives to conduct a comprehensive user fee study every five years ensuring fees charged keep pace with the cost of providing the services. This fee study will also examine market rate fees to re-establish ranges available to departments to charge. For the DIF Study, state law requires that these studies be updated at least every eight years to ensure that development impact fees remain aligned with current infrastructure needs and the actual cost of providing public facilities. The study will evaluate the City’s existing impact fees, update cost assumptions, and ensure that fees collected from new developments appropriately cover the proportional cost of the infrastructure improvements needed to serve that development. This update supports the City’s priority of maintaining fiscally responsible, legally compliant cost-recovery mechanisms without increasing taxes.
General Services Department
Fleet Services Staffing Realignment
Delete 1.0 FTE Senior Business Manager, Delete 1.0 FTE Reprographics Specialist, Delete
0.5 FTE Driver/Clerk, Delivery, and Add 1.0 FTE Fleet Services Manager Expenditure: $(70,872) (General Fund and Fleet Fund)
The General Services Department is requesting the deletion of 1.0 FTE Senior Business Manager, 1.0 FTE Reprographics Specialist, and 0.5 FTE Driver/Clerk, Delivery and the addition of 1.0 FTE Fleet Services Manager. The new Fleet Services Manager position will support the Fleet Division by overseeing vehicle acquisition/disposal, repair and maintenance operations, and management of the City Warehouse. The existing Fleet Services Manager position will be reassigned to provide Department-wide administration support, including oversight of the electric vehicle program and graffiti removal program, and will operate under the working title of Project and Resource Manager.
6 Finance and Governmental Operations Council Committee December 11, 2025
8 1
2 The deletion of the Senior Business Manager and Delivery/Driver Clerk position will result in decreased contributions from the General Fund to Fleet Services Fund, which will effectively offset the net effects of the additional Fleet Services Manager and elimination of the Reprographics Specialist. The requested decrease in Fleet funded positions will decrease the overall Fleet operating cost, which in turn reduces the contribution needed from General Fund by approximately $121,919.
Fleet Services Staffing Realignment and Impact on Fleet Fund Decrease the Fleet Fund Revenue and Expenditure Budget by $(194,654) The General Services department is requesting to decrease both Fleet Fund Revenue and Expenditure Budget by $194,654, as the requested deletion of 1.0 FTE Senior Business Manager and 0.5 FTE Delivery/Driver Clerk discussed above will decrease the total Fleet operating cost in Fleet Fund. This change will in turn decrease required contributions from other departments and funds to support the Fleet Fund’s operating cost; thus, it will decrease the Fleet Fund Revenue with no net impact on the Fleet Fund.
Rental Revenue Adjustment
Increase the Airport Fund Revenue Budget by $876,600 and Increase the Airport Fund Expenditure Budget by $1,791,600
The General Services Department is requesting to increase the Airport Fund’s Revenue Budget by $876,600 and increase the Airport Fund’s Expenditure Budget by $1,791,600. As a result of a recent litigation settlement, the Airport Fund received additional rental revenue totaling $915,000 in FY24-25 and will receive an additional $876,600 in FY25-26, for a total of $1,791,600 to be transferred from the Airport Fund to the General Fund during FY25-26.
Police Department
Police Department Staffing Enhancements for DOJ Collaborative Reform Add 2.0 FTE Digital Evidence Technician
Expenditure: $289,200 (General Fund)
The Police Department is requesting the addition of 2.0 FTE Digital Evidence Technicians to support ongoing department restructuring related to the California Department of Justice’s Reform Agreement. These non-sworn positions will be responsible for collecting, preserving, and analyzing data from digital devices – including computers, smartphones, body-worn cameras, and in-car systems – to support investigations and ensure evidence is processed in accordance with established standards.
7 Finance and Governmental Operations Council Committee December 11, 2025
8 1
2 Add 1.0 FTE Public Information Officer
Expenditure: $247,785 (General Fund)
The Police Department is requesting the addition of 1.0 FTE Public Information Officer to support organizational restructuring required under the California Department of Justice’s Reform Agreement. This non-sworn position will oversee the Police Department’s communication strategy, including media relations, social media, and public outreach.
Add 2.0 FTE Performance Auditor
Expenditure: $414,000 (General Fund)
The Police Department is requesting the addition of 2.0 FTE Performance Auditors to support restructuring efforts related to the California Department of Justice’s Reform Agreement. These non-sworn positions will evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of Police Department operations, programs and processes through audits, data analysis, and police review. Their work will help ensure compliance, transparency, and continuous improvement in departmental practices.
Delete 1.0 FTE Staff Assistant
Expenditure: $(108,593) (General Fund)
The Police Department is requesting the deletion of 1.0 FTE Staff Assistant, that is currently vacant. The savings from this deletion will partially offset the cost of implementing the new classifications mentioned above to support DOJ Reform efforts.
Parking Enforcement
Increase General Fund Revenue Budget by $845,000 and General Fund Expenditure Budget by $632,797
The Police Department is requesting to increase the revenue budget by $845,000 and the expenditure budget by $632,797 to support ongoing services related to Parking Enforcement. On December 17, 2024, Council awarded a contract services agreement to ACE Parking Management for supplemental parking enforcement services. As a result, the Department has seen an increase in revenues and processing fees from Los Angeles County. To align the budget with projected revenues through June 30, 2026, the Police Department is requesting that Council increase the revenue budget accordingly. The requested increase in the expenditure budget will be used to assist the department with ongoing contract costs and Los Angeles County processing expenses.
8 Finance and Governmental Operations Council Committee December 11, 2025
8 1
2 Public Works Department
Add 1.0 FTE Sanitation Equipment Operator (Street Sweeping) Expenditure: $48,527 (General Fund)
The Sanitation Equipment Operator will support the Street Sweeping Division in expanding its sweeping schedule, enabling more consistent and timely service in high-priority areas such as arterial streets and medians. The additional staffing will also reduce overtime costs associated with alternate day sweeping, which is currently maintained through sustained overtime and an increased workload. The new operator will assume responsibility for an additional sweeping route, improving service quality across key areas of the City. This enhancement will help lower overtime expenses, promote a cleaner and safer environment, and maintain the City’s high standards for public cleanliness and operational efficiency. The expenditure is partially offset by the projected savings in overtime cost.
Add 1.0 FTE Maintenance Worker (Illegal Dumping)
Expenditure: $76,998 (General Fund)
The Maintenance Worker will support a new program in the Sanitation Division focused on combating illegal dumping throughout the City. This position will respond to reported illegal dumping incidents and proactively identify and collect unreported discarded items. The Maintenance Worker will also update and maintain the illegal dumping hotspot map to ensure thorough coverage, timely cleanup, and improved monitoring of problem areas.
Add 1.0 FTE Maintenance Worker (Weed Abatement)
Expenditure: $76,998 (General Fund)
The Maintenance Worker will support enhanced weed abatement in medians and City-owned parkways. This position will identify and respond to “hotspot” areas where weeds grow more quickly than can be addressed through the regular maintenance schedule, ensuring more frequent upkeep and improving the appearance of public spaces. The Maintenance Worker will also notify residents and business owners of overgrown vegetation along the frontage of their property and advise them of the requirement to take corrective action within 10 business days to comply with the Torrance Municipal Code. Cases that remain unresolved will be referred to Community Development’s Code Enforcement for further action.
Delete 1.0 FTE Equipment Operator and Add 1.0 FTE Maintenance Worker (Street Maintenance)
Expenditure: $(14,149) (General Fund)
The conversion of 1.0 FTE Equipment Operator to 1.0 FTE Maintenance Worker within the Street Maintenance – Asphalt section will provide balanced staffing across all three asphalt crews, each consisting of one (1) Lead Maintenance Worker, two (2) Equipment Operators, and one (1) 9 Finance and Governmental Operations Council Committee December 11, 2025
8 1
2 Maintenance Worker. Aligning the staffing structure in this way will enhance crew efficiency, improve supervision, and optimize overall productivity in street maintenance operations.
Vehicle Maintenance Cost for Weed Abatement and Illegal Dumping Management Programs
Increase General Fund Expenditure Budget by $87,724
The Public Works Department is requesting to increase the General Fund expenditure budget by $87,724 to purchase a Ford Lightning and a Rear-Load Trash Truck. The Ford Lightning vehicle’s purchase cost will be $75,000 with an eight-year replacement schedule, and recurring annual cost for replacement contribution is $13,851. The Ford Lightning will be added to the City’s Vehicle Fleet and would support the newly requested Maintenance Worker position related to weed abatement. As well, Rear-Load Trash Truck purchase cost will be $400,000 with an eight-year replacement schedule, and recurring annual cost for replacement contribution is $73,873. The Rear-Load Trash Truck will be added to the City’s Vehicle Fleet and would support the newly requested Maintenance Worker position related to illegal dumping management.
Street Sweeping Cost Reimbursement from Sanitation Fund to General Fund Increase General Fund Revenue Budget by $32,028
The Public Works department is requesting to increase General Fund Revenue budget by $32,208, as the requested addition of 1.0 FTE Sanitation Equipment Operator discussed above will increase the total street sweeping program cost in General Fund. Since Sanitation Fund covers a portion of this cost, it will increase estimated reimbursement from Sanitation Fund to General Fund.
Transit Department
Fleet Services Staffing Realignment
Delete 0.5 FTE Driver/Clerk, Delivery
Expenditure: $(36,168) (Transit Fund)
The requested deletion of 0.5 FTE Driver/Clerk, Delivery position is a result of the General Services Department’s Fleet Services staff realignment discussed in the Fleet Services Fund section, as the position is equally shared by the General Services and Transit departments.
Based on the information in this report, the Finance Director recommends that the Finance and Governmental Operations Committee accept and file this report, approve the proposed program modifications, and recommend the same actions to the City Council at a subsequent City Council meeting.

SUMMARY
First Quarter Budget Review Report
13 1
Executive Summary
Introduction
The Fiscal Year (FY) 25-26 First Quarter Budget Review provides City Council and the community with a clear overview of the City’s financial performance
for
the period ending September 30, 2025. This
report highlights the City’s fiscal outlook, reserve status, year -end projections, and progress on major Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) initiatives that directly benefit Torrance residents.
Fiscal Outlook
& Revenue Generation
The City continues to maintain a stable financial position. In October 2025, Torrance’s FY25 -26 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the fourth
consecutive year —
demonstrating the City’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and long -term financial planning. A separate application is pending for the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers Operating Budget Excellence Award.
General Fund revenues and expenditures remain substantially aligned with the Adopted Budget. The City Council approved a
planned use of $11.1 million in fund balance
, driven by
the
first
draw on the
City’s Pension Reserve Fund to smooth rising pension costs and a $14.6
million General Fund
commitment on capital projects, which is now projected to decline to $9.8 million due to favorable trends. The City is on track to exceed its Economic Anomaly Reserve
Policy
, ending the year with an
estimated 22.2% reserve balance
, or $68.9 million
.
A key factor influencing long -term pension costs is CalPERS’ investment performance. CalPERS achieved returns of 12.1% in FY24
-
25 and 9.5% in FY23
-
24, exceeding its 6.8% discount rate in both
years. This will help reduce the City’s future Unfunded
Accrued
Liability (UAL) contributions
beginning in FY26
-
27 . However, global economic uncertainty
related to tariffs
and elevated market
valuations warrant continued fiscal caution.
The City also continues to address the funded status of the Self -Insurance Fund, one of its primary Areas of Focus . As of June 30, 2025 (unaudited), the fund is 36.4% funded —
an improvement from
8.1% in FY19-20
—
though it remains in the City’s High
-
Risk category and requires ongoing attention.
Public Safety & Security
Public
safety remains one of the City’s top priorities. In FY 2025
-
26, implementation began on the
Collaborative Reform Agreement with the California Department of Justice (CADOJ). The Police Department hired
a
new Police Commander to oversee compliance with the agreement’s 32 required 14 2
reforms. Additional staffing adjustments in this quarter further strengthen the Department’s long - term capacity to meet these goals.
To ensure first responders have the equipment they need, City Council approved a $1.5 million purchase in October 2025 for new digital equipment, including 230 mobile data computers for police vehicles. Staff will return to Council in December 2025 seeking approval of a 10 -year, $7.6 million agreement with Versaterm to replace the City’s aging Computer -Aided Dispatch (CAD) system — enhancing emergency response for both Police and Fire.
Homelessness Response
The City continues to expand compassionate and effective homelessness services. A fourth Outreach Worker—
funded by Measure SST
—
enhanc
es six
-
day-a-week coverage across the city. Since 2021,
outreach teams have cleaned 55 encampments, contacted more than 1,600 individuals, and helped 104 people obtain housing.
Because of grant successes and outside funding, the City anticipates that $571,000 of Measure SST funds dedicated to homelessness services will not be required this year. Staff track these savings to ensure the City remains on track with its commitment to dedicate at least $1 .0 million annually to homelessness response.
City Beautification Efforts
The City continues to make visible progress in community beautification. First
q
uarter staffing
recommendations in Public Works will strengthen efforts in street sweeping, illegal dumping response, and weed abatement. The full details of these requests can be found in the
Departments
section of this document.
A second phase of the City’s signage and wayfinding program has been completed with new digital displays installed at the Plunge at City Hall, North Torrance Library, and Wilson Park. These sleek, high
-
resolution signs create a consistent, modern look and improve communication with residents.
Additional beautification efforts include the installation of new utility box artwork throughout the City and ongoing enhancements to medians in key corridors, including Torrance Boulevard, Hawthorne Boulevard, Madrona Avenue, and Downtown Torrance.
Major capital projects advancing this year include:
•
Parks – Columbia Park : Phase 1 renovations, including the World War II Camp Wall Monument, are moving through design development and preparing for permitting. 15 3
• Parks – El Nido Park: A collaborative project with Torrance Unified School District, with $11.4 million allocated to date; environmental review is underway. •
Park
s
– Paradise Park : Conceptual design approved and 100% design development in progress.
•
Park
s
– Lago Seco Park: Completion of a new sewer line to replace an outdated septic system supporting the Little League facility.
•
Facilities –
Bartlett Senior Center
:
Completion of repairs to the second
-story walking deck.
Strategic Staffing and Operational Efficiencies
The City is adapting its workforce and service delivery models to meet community needs. While turnover levels remain above historical norms, trends have stabilized. The City’s investment in recruitment and retention —
particularly in public safety
—
has result
ed in the hiring of 20 Police
Recruits, 7 Lateral Officers, and 8 Public Safety Dispatchers as of November 2025.
There are an
additional 8 Police
Officers and 1 Public Safety Dispatch
er
in background checks to further address
the 53.0 vacant FTE in the sworn and Public Safety Dispatcher classifications as of September 30, 2025. The City’s overall vacancy rate is 11.9%, and ongoing recruitment process improvements aim to reduce strain on existing staff.
Technology modernization is also driving efficiency and enhancing customer service. Major initiatives include:
•
Online Business License Applications: A fully electronic application process now improves convenience for new businesses.
•
Citywide Web Redesign:
Phase 1
(of three phases)
is scheduled for launch in February 2025,
with exploration of AI-driven chatbots to
further
improve online service
s
.
•
Enterprise Cashiering: Phase 1 launched in November 2025, with remaining phase projected to be completed in December 2025,
consolidating revenue collection processes citywide.
•
Enterprise Resource Planning System Replacement: Project kickoff is scheduled for January 12, 2025, with third-party support from SDI Presence. SDI Presence will support city staff in the needs assessment process, request for proposals development, vendor selection, and contract negotiations process.
•
Library Needs Assessment: Procurement is underway for a consultant to evaluate long-term library needs.

-end
results
are
highlighted below
for
FY25-26
:
•
The General Fund -Operating Fund is expected to operate at a
projected deficit of
$8.2
million. This fund’s budget was originally adopted with a planned use of fund balance of $8.1 million due to planned use of fund balance to
support
additional one-time contributions to
the Capital Improvement Fund. While the Revenue side of the budget projects a $3.9 million shortfall, this is due to one -time litigation expense in the Airport Fund temporarily lowering Operating Transfers In by $4.7
million. After controlling for this one -time variance, the recurring outcome for the General Fund
–
Operating Fund’s revenue budget is projected to
be a surplus
of
$800
,000.

at a
projected surplus of
$652,000,
primarily driven by the use of grant funds for homelessness efforts offsetting the burden on the Measure SST Fund.

• Utility Users’ Tax revenues have decreased by $ 1.3 million ( -16 .0 %) to date and is projected
to fall short of budget by $701,000
(-
1.6%)
based on currently projected electricity,
gas, cable, cellular, and telecommunications consumption and use rates.
The primary driver
of change
is a reduction in the
cellular category of UUT
.
•
Charges for Services revenues have increased by $494
,000 (+1
0.3 %) to date, however, it is
projected to fall short of budget by $52,000 ( -0.2%). This is primarily due to shortfalls in Community Development partially offset by a surplus in Community Services. •
Operating Transfers In revenues have decreased by $2.9 million (-22
.4
%) to date and are
projected to have a shortfall of $3.4 million at year-end. This projected shortfall is largely due to
anticipated
one
-time litigation expenses in the Airport Fund offsetting land lease revenue transfers to the General Fund by $4.7 million
.
After controlling for these one-time litigation
expenditures, the Operating Transfers In
classification
would
project a
$1.3 million
surplus
.

Fund Balance of General Fund
The City’s FY25 -26 Adopted Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan
was approved with
planned
use of fund balance totaling $11.1 million
.
As shown above, the Fund Balance of the General
Fund is projected to decrease by $9.8 million in FY25
-
26 , an improvement over the adopted budget
by $1.3 million
.
The reduction in Fund Balance
is primarily driven by a $7.3 million drawdown on the
City’s
Pension Reserve Fund (Section 115 Trust) , partially offset by a
$2.3 million contribution and
projected investment returns, as part of balancing the rising pension costs noted in the City’s 10-year projection. Additionally, Council approved a $14.6 million commitment from the General Fund
–
Operating Fund to invest in critical projects
such as
City Facilities and Parks, which required partial
use of the City’s Unassigned Fund Balance.
The City’s adopted fiscal policy sets a 20%
Economic Anomaly Reserve balance
based on the
currently approved expenditure appropriation for the General Fund-Operating Fund, which in FY25- 26 translates to
$62.2 million
.
As shown in the table above, in FY25 -26, the City is exceeding this amount with an Economic Anomaly Reserve of $68.9 million, or 22.2%.

Self-Insurance Fund
The City’s Self -Insurance Fund covers expenditures associated with non -litigated claims, liability claims and settlements, workers’ compensation cases, and unemployment insurance payments.
This fund generates its revenues by allocating costs to the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service Funds. As of June 30, 2025 (unaudited), this fund was underfunded by approximately $48.2 million
. This is driven by existing outstanding liabilities in workers’ compensation totaling $49.5 million and liability
claims of $18.4 million. As of
June 30, 2025
(unaudited), the fund’s assets
stand at $ 27.5 million. As a result, the Self -Insurance Fund is approximately 36.4% funded, which continues to place it in the High-Risk Category of the City’s Key Performance Indicator tracking. This will be a continued
Area of Focus
in future quarterly budget updates and budget cycles to ensure the City is adequately prepared for funding its exposure.
Cash Balances by Fund
The City has met its reserve policy requirements for the General Fund. As a result, the concerns previously raised regarding low cash balance in th is fund ha
ve
been resolved. With reserve levels
restored, the City does not anticipate reporting this area as a near-term budget focus.
Labor Trends
As of
October 31, 2025
, 2
63 employees are eligible for retirement (based 55 years of age; Employee Classification A). As the workforce ages, City staff will continue to monitor retirement eligibility for proper succession planning. Beginning in FY21
-
22, the City sustained a significant spike in
retirements and voluntary resignations. The most cited reasons for recent departures have been better salaries, benefits
,
flexibility and advancement opportunity. In addition to committing to multi-year labor agreements , City Council approved an Enhanced Recruitment and Retention Incentive Pilot program in 2024
, which has been heavily impacted by
consistently higher vacancy
rates.
26 14
The number of retirements and voluntary resignations has improved since the peak of FY21 -22 and FY22-23
.
As of the four -month period ending
October 31, 2025
, there have been 1
2 retirements and
29 voluntary resignations, compared to 16
and 32
during the prior year, respectively.
Expiring Labor Agreements
The City
has completed negotiations and finalized
agreements with all
labor groups
. With no active
labor negotiations underway, this prior area of focus has been fully resolved. As a result, staff do not anticipate reporting on expiring labor agreements as a near-term budget issue.
Aging Infrastructure and City Facilities/Parks
The City owns and operates $1 billion worth of buildings, public facilities, and infrastructure (book value). With each passing year, these buildings age and deteriorate, many of which are still in their original condition. Currently, the City’s capital assets have passed their half -life mark, requiring heavy maintenance, upgrades, and repairs. During FY2 3-24, the City completed a
Building
Index
Study and assessed the current state of the City’s building and park assets.
The Building Index Study,
which did not include park playgrounds, playing courts, or utility infrastructure at parks, identified $205 million as the minimum investment required over the next 10 years to maintain the current state of the City’s buildings. This translates to approximately $20.5 million per year, exceeding the City’s fiscal capacity of approximately $8 million on a recurring basis. The Building Index Study examined 115 assets, of which 60 fell in the “Poor” or “Critical” categories with 48 in the “Fair” category and 7 in the “Good” category. This will be of continued focus in coming budget cycles to ensure the City’s assets are properly maintained.
Pension/OPEB Benefits Liability Management
In FY24
-
25, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) reported investment gains of 1 2.1%, surpassing its discount rate of 6.8%. This will translate to a decrease in unfunded accrued liability (UAL)
payments over the
amortized period of 20 years, beginning in FY2
7-
28. To help
mitigate the impacts of
fluctuations in
CalPERS
investment performance , the City established a
Section 115 Trust with CalPERS
(CEPPT). This restricted fund serves as a supplemental reserve to the City’s Economic Anomaly Reserve , specifically dedicated to pension costs. The City is
projected to

make its first drawdown of $7.3 million from the CEPPT Fund in FY25 - 26 to smooth the rising pension costs previously mentioned.
As part of negotiations
with the Torrance Professional and Supervisory Association (TPSA) and Engineers and Fiscal Employees
Association
(TFEA) in 2024
,
the PARS supplemental pension was
frozen capping the
accrued liability of this plan. The City will continue to make its actuarially determined contribution each fiscal year addressing the funded status of this plan over coming budget cycles.
The City also established a Section 115 Trust Fund to address the UAL balance for its other post - employment benefits (OPEB) . The City continues to fund its actuarially determine d contributions each year targeting incremental improvement in its funded status over coming budget cycles . The City’s OPEB Funded Status is closely tracked in the City’s Financial Key Performance Indicators each year.
Strategic Plan Performance Indicators by Department
In FY24 - 25, the City developed new key performance indicators (KPI) and received City Council approval on December 17, 2024. These newly developed KPIs provide improved objective benchmarks for Departments with a focus
on aligning
the metric with their assigned Strategic Plan
priorities and goals. The City has implemented the use of AchieveIt, the same platform leveraged for tracking Strategic Plan progress to automatically collect updates on a quarterly basis. In the first half of 2026 the City will launch
an online KPI Dashboard, which will be made available i n FY25
-
26. In the
tables below, each department has listed their approved KPIs, their KPI benchmarks, and
outcomes

$
94.7 million, achieving
16.7 %
of the
FY25
-26

Utility
User’s Tax and
a $
2.9 million
reduction
from Operating Transfers In classifications from the Reserve Fund. The decrease in
the
General Fund-Restricted Fund was mainly due to a $7.1 million reduction in
Operating Transfers
In
from General Fund
-Operating Fund to the Section 115 Trust
(CEPPT)
Fund
.
The decrease in
the
General Fund -Assigned Fund was mainly due to a $ 5.7 million reduction in Operating Transfers In from General Fund and Measure SST Fund . The decrease in the Transit Fund from the prior fiscal year is mainly due to a decrease in Intergovernmental receipts of $ 5.5 million, offset by
an increase in Operating Transfers
In of $

Citywide Revenues by Classification
Citywide revenues
are presented by classification
for all funds as of

from the prior fiscal year for the three months ended September 30 are mainly due to
a $
16.0 million
reduction from Operating Transfers In, a $5.1 million
reduction from Intergovernmental receipts,
a $ 2.6 million
reduction
from Taxes, partially offset by a
$2.4 million increase in

Sales and Use Tax
Sales and use tax (sales tax) is one of the City’s largest General Fund -Operating Fund revenue sources, derived from point -of
-
sale transactions
(Bradley
-Burns 1% allocation) and Los Angeles
County pool allocations. The City receives sales tax
revenue
from a wide range of industries, as
shown below.
Receipts of $ 4.8 million through the first fiscal quarter are tracking
below
prior year’s actuals by
$90
,000
or 1.8% while the projected annual amount falls just short of
budget by $
6,300
, or 0.1%
. Sales
tax receipts peaked in
FY
21 -
22 at $63.6 million
and
are projected to increase
4.2% from prior year’s
actuals. As of the latest available data from the California Department of Tax & Fee Administration, sales tax revenues are experiencing
declines
in Autos and Transportation
and Fuel and Service
Stations, while the State and County Pools and General Consumer Goods are experiencing an increase
from the previously reported period
.
With sales tax revenues remaining relatively flat from the prior year , after controlling for one -time activity in the prior year, staff continue to be cautious with
forecasts
. The Fed
decreased
the Federal
Funds Rate to
a range of
3.75-4.00% in October 2025, and the
Fed’s
policy to slow inflation has
affected sales across industries. For instance, the Autos and Transportation and Fuel and Service Stations categories have experienced a decrease over the past year. In addition, the September 2025 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was
3.0 %. The inflation rate continues to drive
up the cost of many taxable products , and consumer spending
is anticipated
to remain
stagnant
through the
end of the
202
5 calendar year.

Property Tax
The City’s property tax base consists of a healthy mix of residential, commercial , and industrial properties, with the residential
category
comprising most of the total assessed value in Torrance.
Based on
calendar year 202
5 data from
property tax consultants,
HdL Coren & Cone,
the City’s
FY25
-
26 net taxable assessed value increased
to $
42.1 billion or
4.6 % when compared to the same period
during the prior year, keeping Torrance in the top 10 highest value cities in Los Angeles County
at
eighth
place.
Property tax revenues are primarily received in December and April each year. As of September 30, 2025
,
$1.5 million in
property tax receipts
had been
received, matching the amount received during
the same period last year. Presently, the City projects the total year-end revenue to be
slightly lower
than the property tax budget by $361,000 for FY25-26, including property
transfer tax and vehicle
license
f
ee
s
wap & repayment.
In
2004,
the
California
Legislature
approved
a
property
tax
swap
of
v
ehicle license
f
ees (VLF) as part
of a state and local government budget agreement. As a result of the swap, more than 90% of the City’s Motor License Vehicle Fund was swapped for property taxes. The centerpiece of this legislation was the permanent reduction of the VLF rate. This revenue is received from the Los Angeles
County
Assessor
twice a year in January and May, and therefore not realized in the

and an increase in
Interdepartmental Charges resulting from the
reclassification of fleet
maintenance cost from
Materials, Supplies & Maintenance
classification starting FY25
-26.

fiscal year, which differs from projected savings in this report. When the City experiences vacancies, increased overtime costs are experienced with current staff needing to provide the same level of service to the community, which deteriorate
s
the above amounts . Additionally, the City
implemented a vacancy factor as part of the FY25 -26 budget for the first time, which effectively removed the budget for 50% of the vacancies
that existed when developing the budget
. Finally,
another reason for the difference is the enhanced
Pilot
Recruitment and Retention Program. These
factors are key in explaining why the amounts above are not fully realized when positions are vacant.
These vacancies are examined in greater detail in the
appropriate
Department
s
section of this
document.
General Fund-Operating Fund Expenditures by Department
As shown in the table above, most General Fund -Operating Fund departments are projected to remain within budgeted expectations.
T
he Fire Department expenditure budget is projected to
operate at a deficit of
$1.2 million
, primarily due to overage in
overtime
needed to maintain constant
staffing level . The Non-Departmental expenditure budget is projected to operate at
a deficit of
$218,000
,
primarily due to a
$
872,00
0 reduction in Indirect Cost Reimbursements resulting from lower salary projections , partially offset by
$
677,000
h
igher payroll-related Debt Service
Reimbursements. Overall, the
FY25
-26 General Fund -Operating Fund expenditure budget is
projected to generate
$4.
0 million
in savings, largely due to departmental vacancies.
As of September 30, 2025
, there were
144.25
FTE vacant positions in the General Fund, an increase
of 6.15
FTE from the previous year. City departments continue to face challenges in attracting qualified candidates and have numerous recruitments underway. Of these vacancies, a significant portion are in the Police Department, with
69 .0 FTE vacant positions as of
September 30, 2025
, and
efforts to fill vacancies and retain existing staff are ongoing.

General Fund-Operating Fund Expenditures by Classification
As of September 30, 2025
, the General Fund
-Operating Fund realized expenditures of
$
98.2 million
,
achieving 31.6% of the
FY25
-26
expenditure budget. During the same period ending
September 30,
2024
, the City
expended
$88.6
million or 30.8
%
of the
FY24
-25
expenditure budget. The main drivers
for this increase of
$
9.7 million were the planned pay and benefit adjustments and updated CalPERS rates in Salaries and Employee Benefits , increase in Operating Transfers Out for Capital Improvement projects,
and
an
increase
in
Fleet Vehicle Maintenance cost
in
the
Interdepartmental
Charges classification. As previously discussed in the Citywide Expenditures by Classification section, the higher per centage of expenditures to date
is expected due to the timing of the annual
contributions to the Capital Improvement Fund, Section 115 Fund and Debt Service payments.

$
2.4 million or 21.7
%
of FY25-26

collected. During the same period ending September 30, 2024, the City realized
$
2.8 million in

218,000
.

On the revenue side, the fund is projected to generate $0 revenue in FY25 -26 . This decrease from FY24-25
is due to
no projected
interest
income on Loans from the Low Mod Fund to Redevelopment
Agency (RDA) Fund and its
repayment schedule.
On the expenditure side, the
fund
expended $15,000 or 21.6% of its FY25-26
budget, as of
September 30, 2025. During the same period ending September 30, 2024, expenditures totaled $14,000
,
or 21.6% of the FY24-25
expenditure budget. The projected surplus in the

CDD Operating Budget Summary (Section 8 Housing Fund)
As of September 30, 2025, a total of
$2.3 million
or 23.8
%
of FY25-26
budgeted revenues have been
collected. During the same period ending September 30, 2024, the City realized
$2.
2 million in
revenues, representing
24 .1%
of the
FY24
-25
revenue budget . Overall, year -end revenues are
projected to
fall short of
budget by approximately
$
99,000
, primarily due to
projected
slowdown in
Housing Assistant Program (HAP) reimbursement as
it
is expected to reach the limit in order to
maintain required
funding
reserve
level.
On the expenditure side, the department expended $2.4 million or 24.9% of its
FY25
-26 budget, as
of September 30, 2025. During the same period ending September 30, 2024, expenditures totaled $2.1 million, or 24.3% of the
FY24
-25 expenditure budget. Expenditure increased primarily in Materials, Supplies and Maintenance classification, as the volume of
rental assistant payments
increased compared to the
prior year to date
. The Professional/Contract Services projection has
decreased due to lower software-related
costs,
partially
offset by
rising costs in
Interdepartmental
Charges related to
Indirect Cost
allocations.
Overall,
the fund is
expected
to generate a year-end
surplus of
$
46,000.

million or 34.1
%

million in
revenues, representing 35.1
%
of the

, specifically in Library
Services and Parks Services. The Department has several proposed FTE modifications to address these vacancies and
improve recruitment
efforts.

The proposed increase in Program Specialist staffing will reinstate the chef position at the Bartlett Senior Center for onsite preparation of fresh, hot meals for adults aged 50 and older, and provide staffing support for expanded Torrance Summer Nights programming, including concerts in the park and other special events.
Finally, the additional 0.5 FTE Senior Program Specialist will provide dedicated staffing for the community garden plots at Columbia Park and Lago Seco Park and manage the special event permitting process.

-
25 First Quarter Program Modifications. Since then, the Library has operated with only one Assistant City Librarian, who has absorbed responsibility for supervising Senior Librarians an d overseeing daily operations related to facilities and technology. During this time, the City Librarian has taken on additional duties involving programming, outreach, and administrative functions, while the remaining Assistant City Librarian has managed
operations at
both the Katy Geissert and Henderson Libraries.
These shifts in responsibilities have coincided with increased community demand for programming, greater reliance on technology, and rising contractual and operational complexity, further stretching 76 61
the leadership team. Reinstating a second Assistant City Librarian— focused on technical processing, circulation, technology, and operations —
would restore balance to the management structure and
strengthen the Library’s leadership capacity. This adjustment would also improve recruitment prospects for key leadership roles and enhance overall service delivery to the community.

As of September 30, 2025, the Finance Department expended $1.4 million, representing 21.6% of its FY25-26 budget. During the same period ending September 30, 2024, expenditures totaled
$1.2
million, or

reflects approved pay and benefit adjustments
and updated
C
alPERS rates.

Prof
essional/Contract Services
classification is due to the transfer of software
contracts to the IT Department and the transfer of parking ticket enforcement responsibilities to the Police Department. Lower expenditures in the
Training, Travel & Membership Dues
classification
reflect normal fluctuations in the timing of
payments for
scheduled
trainings and membership
renewals.

$
37,000
in expenditure savings ,
primarily attributable to
Salaries and Employee Benefits

s
tate law requires that these studies be
updated at least every eight years to ensure that development impact fees remain aligned with current infrastructure needs and the actual cost of providing public
facilities. The study will evaluate
the City’s existing impact fees, update cost assumptions, and ensure that fees collected from new developments appropriately cover the proportional cost of the infrastructure improvements needed to serve that
development. This update supports the City’s priority of maint aining fiscally

As of September 30, 2025, a total of
$
2.1 million or 14.6
%
of FY25-26
budgeted revenues have been
collected. During the same period ending September 30, 2024, the City realized
$1.8
million in
revenues, representing 13.1
%
of the
FY24
-25
revenue budget. The increase in Charges for Services

51,000
.
On the expenditure side, the
department expended
$18.2
million or 26% of its FY25-26 budget, as
of September 30, 2025. During the same period ending September 30, 2024,
expenditures totaled
$17.4
million, or 25.1% of the
FY24
-25
expenditure budget. The increase in Salaries and Employee Benefits reflects approved pay and benefit adjustments and C alPERS rates adjustments. Salaries and Employee Benefits is projected to end the year
with a $1.2 million deficit, driven primarily by
overages in
overtime
resulting from vacancies and the requirement to meet constant staffing
rules
.

$
1.2 million
in expenditure deficit,
driven primarily by overtime
needed

General Services Operating Budget Summary (Fleet Services Fund)
As of September 30,
2025
, the Fleet Services
Fund realized $3.4 million in revenues, representing
22.6% of the
FY25
-26
revenue budget . For the same period ending September 30,
2024
, the City
realized $3.5 million in revenues, or 26.2
%
of the
FY24
-25
revenue budget. The decrease in
Use of

primarily
due
to a reclassification of investment earnings that

deficit
of $1.9 million due to lower fleet
replacement contributions
from other departments.

recorded
$3.6 million in expenditures,
or 24.9
%
of the
FY25
-26
expenditure budget , as of September 30,
202
5. During the same period
ending September 30,
2024
, the City expended
$2.4 million or 27.3% of the FY24-25
expenditure
budget. The $688,000
increase in Material, Supplies & Maintenance reflects the centralized budgeting of
vehicle
maintenance costs
in Fleet Services
Fund
beginning in FY25
-26
, combined with
rising costs for
vehicle
parts. The Depreciation and Amortization classification also showed increase in expenditures due to increase
s
in the
number of
newer
vehicles replacing fully depreciated
assets. Expenditures overall are projected to end the year
at a surplus of
$
708,000
,
primarily due to
vacancy savings, as a result of 4.5 FTE vacancies.

deficit
of
$
193,000
.

Program Modifications
Fleet Services Staffing Realignment
Delete 1.0 FTE Senior Business Manager, Delete 1.0 FTE Reprographics Specialist,
Delete 0.5
FTE Driver/Clerk, Delivery, and Add 1.0 FTE Fleet Services Manager Expenditure: $(70,872) (General Fund and Fleet Fund)
The General Services Department is requesting the
deletion
of 1.0 FTE Senior Business Manager
,
1.0 FTE Reprographics Specialist , and 0.5 FTE Driver/Clerk, Delivery and the addition of 1.0 FTE
Fleet
Services Manager. The new Fleet Services Manager position will support
the Fleet Division
by
overseeing vehicle acquisition/disposal, repair and maintenance operations, and
management
of
the City Warehouse. The existing Fleet Services Manager position will be
reassigned
to provide
Department-wide administration support, including oversight of the electric vehicle program and graffiti removal program,
and will operate under the
working title
of
Project and Resource Manager
.
The deletion of
the
Senior Business Manager and Delivery/Driver Clerk position will
result in
decreased contributions from the General Fund to Fleet
Services
Fund, which will effectively offset
the net effects of the additional Fleet Services Manager and elimination of
the Reprographics
Specialist. The requested decrease in Fleet funded positions will decrease the
overall
Fleet operating
cost, which in turn reduces the contribution needed from General Fund by approximately $121,919.
Fleet Services Staffing Realignment
and Impact on Fleet Fund
Decrease the Fleet Fund Revenue
and
Expenditure Budget by $(194,654)
The General Services department is requesting to decrease both Fleet Fund Revenue and Expenditure Budget by $194,654
, as the requested deletion of 1.0 FTE Senior Bus
iness Manager and
0.5 FTE Delivery/Driver
Clerk discussed above
will decrease the total Fleet operating cost in Fleet
Fund. This change will in turn decrease required contributions from other departments and funds to support the Fleet Fund ’s operating cost ; thus, it will decrease the Fleet Fund Revenue with no net impact on the Fleet Fund.

Rental Revenue Adjustment
Increase the Airport Fund Revenue Budget by $876,600 and Increase the Airport Fund Expenditure Budget by $1,791,600

As a result of

receiv
ed additional rental revenue
totaling
$915,000 in FY24-
25 and
will receive
an
additional
$876,600
in
FY25

for a
total of $1,791,600
to
be transferred from
the Airport Fund to the General Fund during FY25-26

Police Operating Budget Summary (General Fund - Operating Fund)
As of September 30, 2025, a total of
$
2.9 million or 24.5
%
of FY25-26
budgeted revenues have been
collected. During the same period ending September 30, 2024, the City realized
$
2.6 million in
revenues, representing
24.5 %
of the
FY24
-25
revenue budget
. The
increase in
Operating Transfers
In revenue classification is attributable to transfers from Measure SST to maintain sworn position staffing levels.
Overall, year
-end revenues are projected to fall short of
budget by approximately
$83,000
.
On the expenditure side, the department expended $30.6
million or 28% of its
FY25
-26 budget, as
of September 30, 2025. During the same period ending September 30, 2024, expenditures totaled $26.8
million, or 26.4% of the
FY24
-25
expenditure budget. The increase
in Salaries and Employee
Benefits classification is primarily due to
approved pay
and benefit adjustments and CalPERS rate
adjustments. Additionally, the department has significantly reduced its
Materials
, Supplies, and
Maintenance expenditure due to the move of
vehicle related costs to
Interdepartmental Charges,
and the consolidation of information security related software to the Information Technology Department. Overall, the expenditure
budget is projected to generate
$2.1 million surplus, primarily
due to Salaries and Employee Benefits, which reflects 69.0 FTE vacancies. This is
partially offset by
projected deficit in Professional/Contract Services
classification due to increased costs related to
parking enforcement services and
ticket processing fees from Los Angeles County.
T
he Police
Department is requesting
program modification
s to both increase the revenue operating budget and
expenditure operating budget to address this deficit.

$2.3
million or 12.4
%
of FY25-26

97 Transit Operating Budget Summary (Transit Fund)
As of September 30, 2025
, a total of
$3.3
million or 8.6% of FY25-26
budgeted revenues have been
collected. During the same period ending
September 30, 2024
, the City realized
$8.6
million in
revenues, representing 24.3
%
of the
FY24
-25
revenue budget
. This
decrease
is driven by
a
decrease
in the
Intergovernmental
classification and is partially offset by an increase in
the Charges for
Services and Operating Transfers In revenue classifications. As shown above, year-to-date receipts in the
Intergovernmental
classification are down $5.6 million primarily due to
decreases
from
Measure R and Measure M. Overall, it is projected that the
revenue budget
will
fall short of budget by
$1.0
million
.
As of this Budget Review Report, the Transit Department has $31.1
million in unspent Federal Transit
Administration grants dating back to 2009. Additionally, the Transit Department has a total of $74.0 million in unspent grants from other sources.
On the expenditure side,
the
Transit Fund realized expenditures of
$
10.7 million or 23.0% of the
FY25-26
budget as of
September 30, 2025
.
During the same period ending
September 30, 2024
, the
City expended $8.5 million or 21.2% of the
FY24
-25
expenditure budget. The increase is primarily
in Salaries and Employee Benefits classification, which reflected increase in approved pay and benefit adjustments and CalPERS rates, as well as
Other Operating Transfers Out
due to increase
in transfers to
the
Transit Capital Fund.

Capital Improvement Plan
The City of Torrance develops a five -year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget, with annual adjustments made during each budget cycle. Although the program spans multiple years, only funds for the current year (FY25
-
26) were appropriated as part of the budget process. Next year, the plan will be revised again, and the revised FY26 -27 plan will be approved and appropriated. This Capital Improvement Plan represents the first year of the FY26 -30 five -year plan.
During the first fiscal
quarter ended
September 30, 2025, the City has
spent
$3.7 million in capital investments.
CIP Summary by Project Type
CIP Structure
The CIP is a five - year financial plan for the acquisition, expansion or rehabilitation of land, buildings, and other major infrastructure. Each Capital Project is organized by Capital Project Type (i.e. Parks, Facilities, Public Right of Way) and then by Project Location. In an effort to better serve the community and provide the public with enhanced access to City efforts underway, an online ArcGIS Capital Improvement Projects Dashboard
displaying the location and description for each Capital Project was made available beginning FY24 -25. Project updates are provided quarterly and include photographs.
The City
Council
adopted a CIP budget that will invest $250 million over the next five years to maintain and improve the quality and functionality of its capital infrastructure. Capital infrastructure includes city parks, recreation facilities, service facilities, roads, sidewalks, public utility components, and other city -owned property that are central to the character and quality of our community and the services that we provide
. T
he City
also
includes a section titled Operating
Projects in the City’s Ca pital Improvement Plan. These are projects that are one

to a department’s operations, or smaller projects that are one -time in nature that are not tied to a larger project. Examples include replacement of the City’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, or the relocation of the tar plant preserve. These projects are categorized by the department who is responsible for each project. Should the project require future maintenance, such maintenance will be budgeted in the responsible department’s operating budget in the following year(s).
Lastly, Other Projects, includes additional one
-
time funding needs of the City to address various
initiatives that are not necessarily capital in nature, but do not have a recurring funding requirement, so are therefore not included in the City’s operating budge t. Since these efforts do not require ongoing funding, these projects are included and explained in this section. Examples of projects in this category include the upgrade of Downtown Torrance lights and utility undergrounding administration.
