20 e. The mandatory reinstatement of an employee.
2) Classification - A list of classifications within the Non- Represented/Confidential unit is included in "Exhibit B."
3) Job Series -A group of classifications similar with respect to the duties performed but different in terms of the nature and level of responsibilities performed. Each job series shall be included in "Attachment B."
4) Seniority-Seniority for the purpose of determining order of layoff shall be defined as total accumulated continuous time served in regular and probationary status in the City classified service. Regular and probationary status does not include seasonal/temporary part-time, contract, and/or provisional employees.
Should it become necessary to lay off by seniority, those employees with the least service in the affected classification shall be laid off or demoted:
a. First by classification; and
b. Second, to displace an employee, by City Seniority, including time served on military leave of absence in the armed forces of the United States. In order to bump into a former or lower classification:
1. An employee must have more City Seniority than at least one of the incumbents in the affected class.
2. Employees bumping to a lower class shall be placed at the salary step representing the least loss of pay. In no case shall the salary be increased above that received in the class from which the employee was laid off. When two or more employees have equal seniority, the layoff shall be made in accordance with Merit Rules and Regulations.
C. Notification - Employees to be laid off shall be given, whenever possible, 45 calendar days prior notice, but no less than 30 calendar days' notice.
D. Order of Layoff - In each classification, employees shall be laid off according to employment status in the following order:

Non-Represented/Confidential Unit
Association
7/1/22-6/30/23
21 performing services similar to classifications affected by layoff shall be terminated before any reduction in the regular work force. Likewise, other grant-funded employees shall be terminated in affected classifications, in accordance with federal or state rules or guidelines governing such funding programs.
2) Probationary employees and employees holding interim positions, who have regular status in another classification, shall revert to their former classification in the City to determine layoff rights.
3) Regular employees subject to layoff shall be based on seniority of service within that classification. For example, the employee being laid off or displaced from a classification shall be the employee in the affected classification with the least amount of time served in the affected classification.
E. Layoff Procedure - The layoff procedure is intended to minimize the impact of staff reduction on City services and ensure that employees are treated fairly in the process of layoff. The procedure for lay off, once the number of positions to remain by classification has been determined shall be as follows:
1) Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever there is a reduction in the work force, the appointing authority shall demote the affected employee to a vacancy, if any, in a lower class for which the employee is qualified. All persons so demoted shall have their names placed on the reemployment list for the higher class.
2) An employee affected by layoff shall have the right to displace an employee who has less City seniority in a lower classification in which the affected employee once had regular status.
3) If a classification title is changed due to a reclassification; the employee shall retain bumping rights to the previous classification and series. 4) Displaced employees are allowed to bump into positions that they have not previously held, provided that the position did not exist when the employee was appointed to the position from which they are laid off and the employee meets the minimum qualifications.
5) An employee is eligible to bump to a lower classification within job series in which he/she has achieved regular status. For example: Employee "A"
Non-Represented/Confidential Unit
Association
7/1/22-6/30/23
22 is hired as a Senior Human Resources Analyst and achieves regular status; however, never worked as an Human Resources Analyst.
Employee "A" may bump employee "B" in the lower classification of Human Resources Analyst if Employee "A" has more City seniority than employee “B”.
6) Employees transferring or voluntarily demoting shall retain the same anniversary date as in their previous position for all purposes, including step advancement.
F. Reemployment Lists -The names of persons laid off or demoted in accordance with these rules shall be entered upon a reemployment list.
Lists from different departments or at different times for the same class of position shall be combined into a single list. Such list shall be used by the appointing authority when a vacancy arises in the same or lower class of position before employment is made from an eligible list.
G. Duration of Reemployment List - Names of persons laid off shall be carried on a reemployment list for twelve (12) months, ex cept that the name of an individual reappointed to a regular position of the same class shall, upon reappointment, be dropped from the list. An individual who declines either a voluntary demotion or reemployment in a classification shall be dropped from that specific reemployment list. Persons reemployed in a lower class, or on a temporary basis, shall be continued on the list for the higher class for a balance of the twelve (12)-month period. An individual appointed from a reemployment list may be required to successfully pass a reemployment physical examination provided at City expense.
H. Terms and Conditions of Reemployment- Reemployment from a reemployment list to a previously held class shall be at the same step held at the time of layoff and at the current salary of that class at the time of reemployment. In case of a voluntary demotion from a reemployment list, the employee so electing shall be paid at the highest step in the range for the lower class which does not represent an increase in salary from the salary which would have been effective had the employee been appointed to his/her previously held class; and in no case to exceed "top" step in the current salary range of the class to which the employee is appointed.
Employees reappointed from a reemployment list shall be credited with, at the time of reappointment, all accrued benefits at the time of layoff which were not compensated for at the time of layoff, provided that such accrued
Non-Represented/Confidential Unit
Association
7/1/22-6/30/23
23 benefits shall not exceed established maximum at the time of reappointment.
I. Retraining- The City will make reasonable efforts to provide retraining opportunities to laid-off employees that will qualify them in classifications not related to their former classification and will attempt to place said laid-off employees in vacant positions in the City for which they are qualified. During the twelve months following a layoff, laid-off employees shall be eligible to compete for in-house promotional examinations for positions for which they qualify.
ARTICLE 26 - PREVAILING BENEFITS

Non-Represented/Confidential Unit
Association
7/1/22-6/30/23
19 1) In determining the order of layoff, a combination of factors shall be considered, including qualifications, productivity, general performance, seniority with the City of Upland, and seniority in job classification, and needs of the City. Variations from the order of layoffs and recall from layoff may occur when the City deems such variations appropriate under fiscal circumstances.
2) The factors the City Manager or designee, in his/her discretion, may use to determine layoff include the following:
a. An employee's last four performance evaluations, if any; b. Any history of employee commendations, awards, etc.; c. Any history of employee disciplinary action;
d. Attendance record, including tardiness and unexcused absences; e. Safety record, including personal injury and damage to city property; f. Probationary and temporary employees shall be laid off before a regular employee in the same classification;
g. Between two regular appointees in the same classification with similar skills, abilities, qualifications, merit and/or record, the employee with the lesser seniority in the classification shall be laid off first;
h. Between two regular appointees in the same classification with equal seniority the employee with the lesser skills, abilities, qualifications, merit and/or record shall be laid off first; i. Memoranda of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City and effected bargaining units.
B. Definitions
1) Layoff - A layoff is the involuntary separation or reduction of a regular status employee to a position in a lower classification, without fault of the employee.
Cause for Layoff:
a. If a function is to be discontinued, curtailed, mechanized, or operated by a different method.
b. Reorganization
c. Budget reduction
d. Termination or decrease in funds and/or materials for projects or programs.
Non-Represented/Confidential Unit
Association
7/1/22-6/30/23
20 e. The mandatory reinstatement of an employee.
2) Classification - A list of classifications within the Non- Represented/Confidential unit is included in "Exhibit B."
3) Job Series -A group of classifications similar with respect to the duties performed but different in terms of the nature and level of responsibilities performed. Each job series shall be included in "Attachment B."
4) Seniority-Seniority for the purpose of determining order of layoff shall be defined as total accumulated continuous time served in regular and probationary status in the City classified service. Regular and probationary status does not include seasonal/temporary part-time, contract, and/or provisional employees.
Should it become necessary to lay off by seniority, those employees with the least service in the affected classification shall be laid off or demoted:
a. First by classification; and
b. Second, to displace an employee, by City Seniority, including time served on military leave of absence in the armed forces of the United States. In order to bump into a former or lower classification:
1. An employee must have more City Seniority than at least one of the incumbents in the affected class.
2. Employees bumping to a lower class shall be placed at the salary step representing the least loss of pay. In no case shall the salary be increased above that received in the class from which the employee was laid off. When two or more employees have equal seniority, the layoff shall be made in accordance with Merit Rules and Regulations.
C. Notification - Employees to be laid off shall be given, whenever possible, 45 calendar days prior notice, but no less than 30 calendar days' notice.
D. Order of Layoff - In each classification, employees shall be laid off according to employment status in the following order:

Non-Represented/Confidential Unit
Association
7/1/22-6/30/23
21 performing services similar to classifications affected by layoff shall be terminated before any reduction in the regular work force. Likewise, other grant-funded employees shall be terminated in affected classifications, in accordance with federal or state rules or guidelines governing such funding programs.
2) Probationary employees and employees holding interim positions, who have regular status in another classification, shall revert to their former classification in the City to determine layoff rights.
3) Regular employees subject to layoff shall be based on seniority of service within that classification. For example, the employee being laid off or displaced from a classification shall be the employee in the affected classification with the least amount of time served in the affected classification.
E. Layoff Procedure - The layoff procedure is intended to minimize the impact of staff reduction on City services and ensure that employees are treated fairly in the process of layoff. The procedure for lay off, once the number of positions to remain by classification has been determined shall be as follows:
1) Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever there is a reduction in the work force, the appointing authority shall demote the affected employee to a vacancy, if any, in a lower class for which the employee is qualified. All persons so demoted shall have their names placed on the reemployment list for the higher class.
2) An employee affected by layoff shall have the right to displace an employee who has less City seniority in a lower classification in which the affected employee once had regular status.
3) If a classification title is changed due to a reclassification; the employee shall retain bumping rights to the previous classification and series. 4) Displaced employees are allowed to bump into positions that they have not previously held, provided that the position did not exist when the employee was appointed to the position from which they are laid off and the employee meets the minimum qualifications.
5) An employee is eligible to bump to a lower classification within job series in which he/she has achieved regular status. For example: Employee "A"
Non-Represented/Confidential Unit
Association
7/1/22-6/30/23
22 is hired as a Senior Human Resources Analyst and achieves regular status; however, never worked as an Human Resources Analyst.
Employee "A" may bump employee "B" in the lower classification of Human Resources Analyst if Employee "A" has more City seniority than employee “B”.
6) Employees transferring or voluntarily demoting shall retain the same anniversary date as in their previous position for all purposes, including step advancement.
F. Reemployment Lists -The names of persons laid off or demoted in accordance with these rules shall be entered upon a reemployment list.
Lists from different departments or at differen t times for the same class of position shall be combined into a single list. Such list shall be used by the appointing authority when a vacancy arises in the same or lower class of position before employment is made from an eligible list.
G. Duration of Reemployment List - Names of persons laid off shall be carried on a reemployment list for twelve (12) months, except that the name of an individual reappointed to a regular position of the same class shall, upon reappointment, be dropped from the list. An individual who declines either a voluntary demotion or reemployment in a classification shall be dropped from that specific reemployment list. Persons reemployed in a lower class, or on a temporary basis, shall be continued on the list for the higher class for a balance of the twelve (12)-month period. An individual appointed from a reemployment list may be required to successfully pass a reemployment physical examination provided at City expense.
H. Terms and Conditions of Reemployment- Reemployment from a reemployment list to a previously held class shall be at the same step held at the time of layoff and at the current salary of that class at the time of reemployment. In case of a voluntary demotion from a reemployment list, the employee so electing shall be paid at the highest step in the range for the lower class which does not represent an increase in salary from the salary which would have been effective had the employee been appointed to his/her previously held class; and in no case to exceed "top" step in the current salary range of the class to which the employee is appointed.
Employees reappointed from a reemployment list shall be credited with, at the time of reappointment, all accrued benefits at the time of layoff which were not compensated for at the time of layoff, provided that such accrued

23 benefits shall not exceed established maximum at the time of reappointment.
I. Retraining- The City will make reasonable efforts to provide retraining opportunities to laid-off employees that will qualify them in classifications not related to their former classification and will attempt to place said laid-off employees in vacant positions in the City for which they are qualified. During the twelve months following a layoff, laid-off employees shall be eligible to compete for in-house promotional examinations for positions for which they qualify.

PROPOSED BUDGET
FY 2022-23
BUDGET MESSAGE
City Manager’s Budget Message
Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
I am pleased to submit the proposed Fiscal Year 2022/2023 (FY 22/23) operating and capital budget for your review and consideration.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over two years of collective trauma, with families around the world experiencing widespread economic hardship, fear, debilitating illness, and the devastating loss of loved ones. As the pandemic began to take hold in early 2020, the U.S. economy reacted dramatically, which resulted in the unemployment rate skyrocketing to a peak of
14.8% in April 2020. The massive number of unemployed Americans triggered the sharpest economic contraction since the Great Depression, evidenced by the broadest measure of economic activity shrinking at an annual rate of 32.9% for the second quarter of 2020. Without question, the pandemic has challenged our City and community like never before. This challenge builds upon years of lean times for the City of Upland, which has made significant budget cuts and service reductions in order to achieve a balanced budget each year.
Fortunately, as we present this budget, the concerted efforts of federal, state, and local governments have pushed back against many of the negative effects caused by the pandemic. To date, the Federal Government has enacted six major bills, appropriating about $5.3 trillion, to help manage the pandemic and mitigate the economic burden on families and businesses. Of this stimulus, the City has directly received more than $2.5 million in CARES Act funding and has been allocated $15.2 million from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (for restricted uses) through December 31, 2024. We are gratified to be receiving our fair share of federal funds, nevertheless vision and steady leadership are needed to bring the City together, strengthen our local economy, invest in our community, and keep the City on track to continued prosperity.
Under the judicious leadership of the City Council, the City continues to meet the fiscal challenges caused by the pandemic and has diligently worked to maintain and enhance revenues and reduce operational expenditures where possible. Furthermore, in spite of the continuing economic impact of the pandemic and resulting budget constraints, City departments continue to do an excellent job of providing services to the community with the resources they have.
This budget reflects the challenges of an economy with rising inflation. For the third consecutive year, the proposed budget is balanced with one-time funds, this year requiring a $2.4 million transfer from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund for basic and ongoing public safety personnel expenses. This has allowed Upland to maintain service levels our residents rely on, but will not be able to be sustained for a long period of time without additional revenues. The City 1
continues to have a prudent reserve of 22.5% in conjunction with the General Fund Reserve Policy.
Upland has been wise to address its pension obligation through its BLAST Strategy, which will save close to $70 million in interest over the next 22 years as a result. The City has also established pension and OPEB stabilization trusts and funded them with over $4 million in assets.
Importantly, as the economy begins to even out, this budget demonstrates the City’s commitment to public safety by recommending the implementation of a Corporal Program, which will reclassify five vacant Police Officer positions to a Corporal/Detective level and add four Police Officer positions. The proposed Corporal Program will provide several benefits to the staff, department, and the community. First, the reclassification will increase opportunities within the department for employee development and training, enhancing officer retention. Second, the new positions will provide additional operational oversight, improving the effectiveness of officers in the field.
Finally, the additional staffing will supply a 20% increase in patrol staffing per shift, resulting in improved public safety this year. Additional funds will be needed to maintain these investments in public safety.
The proposed FY 22/23 budget is $52,496,120 in the General Fund and $146,473,450 (including Transfers Out) across all funds and $37,545,340 for capital projects. The requested funds will support the necessary operational and capital improvement project needs of each department. This budget represents an increase in level of services compared to FY 21/22, with additional changes in staffing (as notated in the attached FY 22/23 Schedule of Positions). Projected revenues are $50,181,580 in the General Fund and $148,242,130 (including Transfers In) across all funds.
In closing, the preparation of the proposed annual budget was made possible by the dedicated efforts of the Administrative Services Department, department directors, and their staff. Credit also must be given to the Mayor and City Council for their support of maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the City of Upland’s finances.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael Blay
City Manager

BUDGET OVERVIEW
Projected citywide operating revenues of $145,292,510 represent a decrease of $2.7 million compared to the prior year. The majority of the decrease is the result of an intentional paydown of the City’s Unfunded Accrued Liability in the prior fiscal year, which is the main reason why the UAL and Employee Benefits Internal Service Fund is requested $2.6 million less in payments from other funds of the City this year. The funds with the highest revenues are: General Fund ($50,181,580), Water Utility Fund ($31,633,050), Solid Waste Utility ($16,285,000), and Sewer Utility Fund ($10,430,600). Revenue by fund type is depicted in the following figure:
The FY 22/23 operating and capital expenditure budget totals $181,199,170, including Capital Improvement Project (CIP) requests. Many funds make up the total budget amount, with the largest being the General Fund in the amount of $52,386,120, or 28.9% of the organization’s total.
Other major fund expenditures include the Water Utility Fund ($44,263,700), Solid Waste Utility ($15,819,440), Sewer Utility Fund ($15,066,320) and Gas Tax Fund ($9,506,730). In summary, appropriations reflect a total increase of $2,603,900 or 1.5% from the prior year. The most notable expenditure increases are: $6.5 million in the General Fund and $5.5 million in ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) Special Revenue Fund.
3
Personnel costs inclusive of all City funds are increasing by $2.6 million from $39.8 million to $42.4 million. The majority of the increase relates to negotiated pay and benefit increases ($2.7 million). In total, the number of authorized FTE positions from the 2022-23 amended budget increased by 6.0 to 263.0 FTE’s.
Maintenance and operation appropriations (excluding the UAL & Employee Benefits Internal Service Fund) are increasing by $6.1 million from $91.7 million to $97.8 million. $3.1 million of the increase is attributed to increases in utility funds’ costs of operation, and another $1.7 million relates to General Fund debt service taken on to make additional discretionary payments to CalPERS to reduce the City’s UAL.
Capital Projects & Equipment appropriations are decreasing by $6.3 million from $47.2 million to $40.9 million. The decrease is primarily due to the implementation a 5-year Capital Improvement Project listing. While projects over the 5 years still amount to more than the prior years’ listing, the current year reflects lower, as only capital projects budgeted for FY 22/23 are in the listing this year, while multiple years of capital projects were recorded previously. This is most obviously seen in the Capital Projects Funds, where $3.3 million less in capital projects are budgeted, and in the Water Fund, where $1.9 less is budgeted despite the implementation of Fund 639, the Water Bond Capital Projects Fund, where the $15.5 million 2022 Water Bond capital projects are being budgeted.

GENERAL FUND
The ending Unassigned General Fund balance is projected to be $383,370. This does not include funds that are held in Restricted, Committed or Assigned categories in conjunction with the City’s General Fund Reserve Policy. A summary of most General Fund reserves projected as of July 1, 2022 is illustrated in the following table:
General Fund - Reserves
Restricted (Section 115 Trusts) $4,666,106

Economic Uncertainty Reserve 10,300,000
Emergency Disaster Contingency Reserve 1,000,000

1,480,000
Infrastructure Improvement Reserve 3,011,000
Assigned Total $4,491,000
Total General Fund - Reserves $21,549,106

General Fund Revenues and Transfers In:
Total General Fund operating revenues are projected to be $50,181,580, an increase of $1.3 million from the prior year amended budget. The General Fund revenues by source are depicted in the following figure:
• Property Taxes
Property tax revenues are projected to be $19,267,650. This estimate reflects an overall increase of $681,440 over the prior year budget.
• Sales Tax
Forecasts provided by our sales tax consultant, HdL Companies, estimate that retail sales tax revenues will be $18,404,120, an increase of $250,490 from the prior year amended budget.
• Licenses & Permits
Revenue from Licenses and Permits is estimated to be $1,702,670, which is a decrease over the prior year budget of $248,340.
• Miscellaneous Changes
Other changes include an increase of $67,960 for revenue from Use of Money and Property 6
and $43,890 in Other Revenue, and decreases in Fines & Forfeitures of $24,330 and in Charges for Services of $93,770.
• Transfers In
Transfers In are estimated to be $2,444,620 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Special Revenue Fund. The Transfer In amount covers the General Fund’s shortfall and will be used for Police Department salaries and benefits to maintain current public safety staffing levels. This public benefit expense is allowable under ARPA’s revenue loss calculation rules.
General Fund Expenditures and Transfers Out:
General Fund operating expenditures are projected to be $52,256,120 which is $6.5 million higher than the prior year’s original budget. The change is due to increases in budgeted personnel services (not including PERS UAL) totaling $3.1 million and an increase in operations and maintenance totaling $3.4 million. The General Fund expenditures by department are depicted in the following figure:
• Personnel
General Fund personnel costs are projected to total $22.4 million, an increase of $3.1 million over the prior year adopted budget. The increase is primarily due to negotiated pay and benefit increases ($1.4 million), a remittance ($1.2 million) to the City’s PARS Section 115 Pension Trust in conjunction with the Pension Funding Policy, and employee 7
step increases ($0.5 million). Not included in this figure is the reduction of $2.6 million in the City’s UAL and Employee Benefits Internal Service Fund as a result of lower unfunded accrued liability expenses. This reduction has occurred due to an intentional paydown of over $45 million of the City’s UAL with CalPERS in conjunction with the BLAST Strategy during the 2021/22 fiscal year.
• Maintenance and Operations (M&O)
The maintenance and operations budget is $29,872,930, which is an increase of $3.4 million over the prior year adopted budget. The largest increase is attributed to higher General Fund debt service ($1.7 million) taken on to make additional discretionary payments to CalPERS to reduce the City’s UAL. Other increases include $305,000 for higher self-insured retention costs for liability and worker’s compensation insurance increases, $200,000 for a body-worn camera software upgrade, a $150,000 increase for elections-related costs in November, a $150,000 increase in Library costs in conjunction with the current outsourced contract, $130,000 allocation to a Building Replacement and Maintenance Reserve to comply with the General Fund Reserve Policy and $115,000 in increased costs anticipated as the City pursues a new landscape maintenance contractor.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
HOUSING FUND
The Housing Division is responsible for the administration of the Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) Housing program. Available resources provide for the development and implementation of housing programs to increase and improve or preserve affordable housing within the City’s corporate limits for persons or families of low- to moderate-income. The total appropriations for the Housing Fund are $3,982,440.
STREET MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENT FUNDS
The City receives three sources of funds for street infrastructure improvements. The Gas Tax Fund and Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Account Fund accounts for gasoline taxes received from the State of California, and the Measure I Fund accounts for the City’s share of San Bernardino County revenue received from the State of California from a special 1/2% sales tax. For FY 22/23, the total budget for street improvement projects from these sources is $12,859,020, with $11,445,340 of that budgeted specifically for street-related capital projects. Some of the projects of interest include: City/County North Shared Roadways, Arrow Highway Rehab (Benson to Mountain), Arrow Highway Rehab (Mountain to San Antonio), 17th Street Reconstruction (San Antonio to Euclid), Mulberry Avenue Reconstruction (Foothill Blvd. to Pine Street), Citywide Pavement Maintenance 2021/2022 and Palm Ave (9th Street to Arrow Highway).
HOME/CALHOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
The Home Investment Partnership Program and CALHOME FY 22/23 budgets are $355,000 and $675,000 respectively. These funds revenues are received from the State of California and the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department. They are required to be used to assist limited income individuals and families in the purchase of their first home or to make needed improvements and repairs to their current homes.
8
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS (CDBG)
This year’s CDBG program has a total allocation of $796,200. The recommendations for these funds have been processed and approved by the CDBG Committee, and the City Council has reviewed and supports the recommendations. These funds continue to address many important community needs that may not otherwise be possible. Programs such as Code Enforcement, Graffiti Removal, and Homeless Services are examples of how these funds directly benefit the Upland community.
CITIZEN’S OPTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY (COPS)

LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
A budget is a fiscal plan that establishes anticipated revenue and expenditures for accomplishing a variety of services over a given time frame. While the City of Upland prepares a one-year budget, we cannot lose sight of our long-term needs. It is critical to safeguard our operating reserves, address any fiscal weaknesses, and make strategic financial decisions to ensure we have a resilient City over the long-term. It is important that we continue to refine our financial strategy with the goal of being a resilient and fiscally responsible City. How well we are able to define our strategy now will enable us to more proactively address our financial concerns and prevent the need for less desirable reactionary approaches in the future.
To aid in this strategic process, the City commissioned a resident satisfaction survey in 2021 to gauge constituent interest in service priorities, among other items. Resident priorities included maintaining local streets and alleys and repairing potholes, keeping public areas clean and free of graffiti, providing quick responses to 9-1-1 emergencies, reducing gang activity and drug-related crimes, addressing homelessness and repairing sidewalks and curbs. Respondents were also interested in preventing cuts to basic services, including public safety, roads, and programs for children and seniors. The City is using these resident priorities to inform Council’s strategic actions on identified priorities.
Addressing long term financial concerns has been a priority for the City of Upland for at least ten years. The long-term priorities are:
1. Maintain a balanced operating budget in order to avoid dipping into existing reserves.
2. Maintain operating reserves at of 22.5% of budgeted operating expenditures.
3. Address unfunded liabilities for CalPERS pension and other postemployment benefits (OPEB). At 3/31/2022, pension and OPEB trust balances were $2,819,015 and $1,847,091, respectively.
4. Provide necessary funding for infrastructure maintenance and improvements. One-time federal funds and prior year surpluses have allowed us to start making a dent in improving the health of our deteriorating infrastructure. We have been focusing on improvements that will save the city money in future years and on revenue generating facilities.
5. Provide funding for additional public safety services. We are currently focusing on the training and safety of our officers.
In an effort to plan for the future, this year’s budget includes a 5-year financial projection. The projection includes the additional 6.0 (FTE) positions requested as part of the budget. It does not assume any other increase in service levels. It also does not provide for additional needs such as addressing deteriorating infrastructure.
The projection does take the existing FY 22/23 budget and factored in known increases to personnel costs, along with revenue and expenditure assumptions for the future based on the best available information, including the impacts of ARPA funding on current and projected revenue sources. The 5-year financial projection does not include the use of money from the City’s Section 115 Trust that was established to address the City’s pension obligation. The projection also does not include any additional revenue associated with new development or future grant opportunities. 11
The chart below reflects the effect of ARPA funding on the Spendable Fund Balance of the General Fund over the next five years.
† Note: Spendable fund balance includes committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance.
With the use of approximately $8.2 million in ARPA funding through December 31, 2024, the City will be able to increase public safety service levels while maintaining a balanced budget.
However, beginning with the 2024-2025 fiscal year, ARPA funding will no longer be available.
Current deficits show that the City will need to identify additional revenue sources or will need to reduce expenditures in order to balance the budget.
Starting in FY 25/26, without additional revenue or service reductions, the General Fund’s Spendable Fund Balance is projected to decrease from $17.5 million at the end of the 2024-2025 fiscal year (31.8% of operating expenditures) to $13.9 million (24.6% of operating expenditures).
Additionally, in the following fiscal year, the General Fund’s Spendable Fund Balance is projected to decrease from $13.9 million to $9.5 million (16.3% of operating expenditures). Therefore, in order to provide additional funding for police services and infrastructure maintenance and improvements, the City will need to either further reduce spending or find additional sources of local revenue. Staff is evaluating alternatives on an ongoing basis for reorganization, cost savings measures, and other efficiencies that will result in reduced spending; however, given the years of ongoing cost reductions, the potential for a great savings impact is limited.
12
While it is clear that progress has been made toward reaching financial goals, there is still quite a distance between the City’s current position and long-term financial goals. Moreover, while funding from ARPA has delayed the need for immediate service reductions, structural imbalances will need to be addressed in the coming years.
To identify just how significant ARPA funding has been on the City’s long-term financial health, a 5-year projection was run assuming current revenues and expenditure trends remain consistent.
† Note: Spendable fund balance includes committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance.
This comparative chart indicates that without the ARPA funding, the City’s financial situation would be structurally imbalanced, with revenues less than expenditures for the next five years.
CONCLUSION
Under the leadership of the City Council, the City's fiscal condition remains stable and is improving as we continue along a steady course into the coming fiscal year. As mentioned, the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic are beginning to recede into history and the Council’s thoughtful and measured response to the crisis has kept the City on a sustainable financial path while continuing to provide core services to its citizens. Looking forward to the next five years, we cannot lose sight of our long-term needs and it is critical to safeguard our operating reserves, address any fiscal weaknesses, and make strategic financial decisions to ensure we have a resilient City over the long-term.

PROPOSED BUDGET
FY 2022-23
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
BUDGET PROCESS
Purpose of the Budget Document
The Budget sets forth a strategic resource allocation plan that is distinctly aligned with community goals, preferences, and needs. The Budget is a policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communication device all in one.
The Budget:
♦ Determines the quality and quantity of City programs and services. ♦ States expenditure requirements for the allocation plan and estimated available revenues to finance it.
♦ Sets targets and provides a means of measuring accomplishments against goals, actual versus planned outcomes.
♦ Serves as a communication device for elected officials, the public, and the City organization that promotes the City’s vision and direction, fiscal health and vitality, and what the public is getting for its tax dollars.
Through the Budget document, the City demonstrates its accountability to its residents, customers, and community.
The Relationship Between the Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program
The Budget document is comprised of both the Annual Operating Budget and the Capital Budget.
The development of the two budgets, however, takes place on two separate, albeit interrelated, tracks.
The Operating Budget is the complete budget used to finance all day-to-day operations and obligations of the City. The budget includes general government administration and operations, debt service, capital expenditures, and transfer payments for a particular fiscal year. The funding for this budget is derived from taxes, fees, licenses, fines, and inter-governmental revenues (state and federal).
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a multi-year instrument that drives the identification, evaluation, and financing of capital infrastructure that is in need of renovation, repair and/or construction. Capital projects range from road maintenance or construction to the renovation of municipal buildings, recreation centers, and water main and sewer system replacement. The CIP relates these capital project needs to the financial sources that will support their realization and the timeframe in which both the financial and work will take place. Capital improvement projects typically carry considerable future impact, meaning, they have a life span of at least five years or more. They are usually financed over a longer period of time, in effect spreading the cost of the project across a generation of users.
14
Guide to the Budget
The City of Upland’s fiscal year begins each July 1st and concludes on June 30th. The development of the annual budget is comprised of distinct phases. First, the City Council identifies the priority service requirements for the community, during the Strategic Goals workshop. Second, is the planning and assessment that includes both strategic plan development and data gathering, such as performance measurements. A select group of performance measures used in the development process are featured in the budget document.
The budget kickoff begins in mid-January at a meeting to which the City Manager, Finance staff, and all Department Heads and their budget staff attend. The City Manager briefs the participants on policy directives and general budgeting guidelines. Finance staff follows with a discussion on the technical and procedural aspects of preparing the budget. Departments have approximately two months to prepare their budgets.
Subsequent to budget submittals, the City Manager, Finance staff, and Department Heads hold meetings to discuss proposed budgets. Participants discuss the budget, including reductions or other significant changes, goals and objectives, and performance measures.
Once the City Manager reviews have taken place and all departmental budget issues are resolved, the Finance staff prepares the preliminary budget. The Assistant City Manager presents the proposed budget at a special meeting. Following the Committee review, the Assistant City Manager presents the proposed budget to the City Council, at which time the City Manager will recommend to the City Council the adoption of the budget with any necessary revisions made between the time of publication of the preliminary budget and the date of adoption.
The budget plays a crucial role in communicating to elected officials, City employees, and the public, the City’s plans for the use of its resources. Budgets are complex documents that can be difficult to grasp at first hand. Although the City has made every effort to make the document as easy to navigate as possible, some discussion as to how the book is organized is deemed warranted.
This section provides the reader with some basic understanding of the constituent components of a budget document.
Organization of the Budget Document
The Budget document is comprised of the following sections:
City Manager’s Budget Message

FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City of Upland was incorporated on May 15, 1906, under the general laws of the State of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges pertaining to “General Law” cities. The City is governed by an elected five-member board. Included within the financial reporting entity of the City are the Successor Agency to the Upland Community Redevelopment Agency and the Upland Public Financing Authority.
Basis of Accounting and Budgeting
The City’s accounting system is organized on a fund basis. Each fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures. The funds are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations.
Governmental funds are classified into three broad categories: governmental (general, special, debt service, and capital improvement projects), proprietary, and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds include activities usually associated with typical or local government operations. Proprietary funds are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent is to recover the cost of providing goods and services from user charges. Fiduciary funds are utilized in situations where the government is acting in a fiduciary capacity as a trustee or agent.
The City’s accounting and budgeting systems are in compliance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This means that the modified accrual basis of accounting is used for governmental fund types and that the accrual basis of accounting is used for proprietary fund types. These funds are described as follows:
General Fund (Fund 101)
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The General Fund finances basic services to residents, including police, library, and recreation.

The City of Upland and the Successor Agency (formerly known as Upland Community Redevelopment Agency) formed the Financing Authority by execution of a joint exercise of powers agreement to provide financing by agreements and loans to the Agency for various project purposes. In January 2021, City Council authorized the creation of the City of Upland Public Financing Authority. The City of Upland and the Upland Parking Authority formed the Financing Authority by execution of a joint exercise of powers agreement to provide financing by agreements and loans to the City for various project purposes.
Capital Projects Funds
Capital projects funds are established to account for acquisition and construction of capital facilities other than those financed by proprietary funds.
General Capital Improvements (Fund 420) - This fund was established under the provision of Section 53731 of the Government Code and Section 3.44.050 of the Upland Municipal Code to account for projects for the general government and police and are supported by Development Impact Fees from new development.

Proprietary Funds and Fiduciary Funds
Proprietary fund revenues and expenses are budgeted and recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and measurable. Expenses are recognized in the period incurred, if measurable.
Fiduciary or private-purpose trust funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
Successor Agency (Fund 805) - This fund accounts for the activities of the Successor Agency to the Upland Community Redevelopment Agency, including but not limited to the accumulation and disbursement of monies to meet debt service requirements.

UAL and Employee Benefits (Fund 755) - This fund provides for PERS unfunded liability, retiree health benefits, and other costs that benefit all employees of the City.
Budgetary Control and Policies
Budgetary control is exercised by (1) the annual budget adoption by the City Council (2) formal budgetary integration within the accounting system (3) the mid-year review presented to the City Council in February (4) the encumbrance of estimated purchase/contract amounts prior to the release of purchase orders to vendors (5) properly and adequately documented City Council approved budget adjustments to appropriation and revenue estimates (6) monthly review of departmental expenditure reports comparing budget to actual amounts and (7) the established review process of carry-overs in which departments are requested to submit justification and funding sources for unencumbered, budgeted amounts requested for carryover. The final list of continued operations becomes part of the City’s annual budget.
The City Council approves each year’s budget submitted by the City Manager prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Public meetings are conducted prior to the adoption by City Council.
It is the City Council’s goal to adopt a balanced annual budget, a budget in which current revenues equal recurring expenditures. The City Manager has authority to adjust the amounts appropriated between the funds and activities of a fund, provided, however, that the total appropriations for each fund may not exceed the amounts provided in the budget resolution.
The City Manager is also authorized to approve continuing appropriations at year-end for capital improvement projects and other expenditures previously approved by the City Council.
Cash and Investment Policies
The City’s cash and investments are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as interest revenue reported for that fiscal year. Interest revenue includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon maturity, liquidation, or sale of investments.
Cash accounts of all funds are pooled for investment purposes to enhance safety and liquidity while maximizing interest earnings. The City Council annually adopts an Investment Policy, which along with the California Government Code, provides a framework for authorized investments of the City’s pooled investments. Interest revenue earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds based on each fund’s average monthly cash balances. 23
Reserve Policy
In order to prudently protect the fiscal solvency of the City, it is important to maintain some minimum level of reserves. Reserves are important to mitigate the negative impact to revenues from economic fluctuations, fund unforeseen expenditure requirements, provide a minimum level of cash investment interest revenue, and avoid the need to borrow for cash flow purposes. Under the City’s Reserve Policy adopted in June 2021, the City established an Economic Uncertainty Reserve at 22.5% of General Fund operating expenditures. The Economic Uncertainty Reserve can be used if an economic impact resulting in a decrease of 5% or more in property or sales taxes occurs. The City also established an Emergency Disaster Contingency Reserve at $1,000,000 that can be used in the instance where a declaration of emergency as defined by the Upland Municipal Code is made. The Economic Uncertainty Reserve and Emergency Disaster Contingency Reserve are intended to provide liquidity to the City in the event of economic uncertainties, local disasters and other hardships or downturns in the local economy. Once the 22.5% Economic Uncertainty Reserve is met, any year-end operating surplus will be distributed to other reserves established by the Policy in the percentages as follows: Pension Stabilization Reserve (45%), Infrastructure Improvement Reserve (30%), Building Replacement and Maintenance Reserve (15%), General Plan Update Reserve (5%) and Unallocated Fund Balance (5%).
Pension Funding Policy
The City adopted a Pension Funding Policy in June 2021, and subsequently revised it in December 2021. The policy outlines the City’s approach toward addressing its long-term employee pension unfunded accrued liability. It provides narrative background on the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) and explains key terms and features, including amortization bases, discount rates, additional discretionary payments, normal costs, and unfunded accrued liability. The Pension Funding Policy also outlines financial objectives and establishes a target funding level of 100%, with a minimum funding level of 80%. Specific funding strategies include the use of Internal Revenue Code Section 115 Trust funds. The Pension Funding Policy provides that 50% of any budgetary cash savings realized from any pension funding strategy must be placed into Internal Revenue Code Section 115 Trust for use to accelerate the payoff or funding of new amortization bases (liabilities).
Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) greater than $5,000 are capitalized and recorded at cost or at the estimated fair value of the asset at the time of acquisition where complete historical records have not been maintained. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset, increase size or efficiency of the asset, or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets include public domain (infrastructure) general fixed assets consisting of certain improvements including roads, curbs and gutters, streets, sidewalks, medians, sewer & water lines, and storm drains.
24
Debt Management
The California Constitution requires that long-term debt pledged by the full faith and credit of the City can only be approved by voter referendum. Currently, the City does not have any general obligation debt. However, per State of California statute, the City’s debt limit is set at 15% of total assessed valuation for purposes of City taxation for all the real and personal property within the city.

History of Upland
In 1882, George Chaffey arrived in Upland, and shortly after engineered the historic Euclid Avenue. Euclid Avenue was designed to be 200 feet wide, with a spacious median, and various tree species lining the thoroughfare. Chaffey also developed a water system for the area that depended on gravity flow from the canyons of the San Gabriel Mountains to the valley below.
With access to a reliable source of water, lemon grower associations were started. According to sources of the day, oranges and lemons from the Upland groves were always met with a great amount of satisfaction with buyers in the East.
In 1897, citrus grower Charles D. Adams suggested the name “Upland” for a new citrus association proposed in the rich farm area. Adams offered the name of Upland – indicating its location uphill from its more established neighbor, Ontario. It was at that time that 1,000 or so residents persuaded the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors to rename the community.
Incorporation had not yet come for Upland by the time she received her new name and in the next few years Ontario made moves to push its boundaries northward. Upland residents could not bear to think of their railroad station and post office being within Ontario’s boundaries. In early 1906, a committee was named to appear before the Board of Supervisors and request an incorporation election. At the conclusion of that session, the Board declared the election for incorporation should take place. On May 5, 1906, Upland voters approved cityhood.
The City of Upland is situated on the western border of San Bernardino County, bordered by the cities of Claremont, Montclair, Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga. Upland, known as the "City of Gracious Living", is nestled at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and encompasses 15.3 square miles. It has an estimated population of 79,139 as of December 31, 2021.
Upland is a general law city with a Council-Manager form of government. The City provides a wide range of traditional municipal and public enterprise services.
