Department Recommendation:
No action is required tonight. This report will present an overview of the proposed fiscal year 2024/25 and 2025/26 budget. Staff will return to Council on June 17th with proposed changes, conduct a public hearing, and potentially adopt the budget.
Background Discussion:
Every two years the City of Visalia adopts a biannual budget. The Budget lays out a strategic resource allocation plan that aligns with community goals, preferences, and needs. The Budget is a policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communication device all in one.
The Budget also:
· Determines the quality and quantity of City programs and services. · States expenditure planned and the resources needed.
· Sets targets and provides a means of measuring accomplishments against goals and actual versus planned outcomes.
· Serves as a communication device-for elected officials, the public, and the City organizationthat promotes the City’s vision and direction, fiscal health and vitality, and how the public will benefit from the expenditure of tax dollars.
The budget is a dynamic document that demonstrates to the public the City’s commitment to service, accountability to the residents, and the focus on meaningful work and significant projects. The budget document is comprised of a 2-year operating plan (annual budget), a 6-year capital improvement program (capital budget), and appropriations for debt service and other uses. The development of the operating and capital budgets, however, takes place on two separate timelines (see Table 1 - Budget Process Calendar).
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a multi-year planning instrument that drives the identification, evaluation, and financing of capital infrastructure projects in need of renovation, repair and/or construction. Capital projects consist of all projects that cost more than $10,000 and are typically infrastructure, equipment, and vehicles. Capital projects range from street maintenance or Visalia City Council Page 1 of 6 Printed on 5/31/2024

typically infrastructure, equipment, and vehicles. Capital projects range from street maintenance or construction to the renovation of municipal buildings, recreation centers and ball fields, to sewerage system replacement, and the purchase of vehicles and equipment. The CIP relates these capital project needs to the financial resources that will support their realization and the timeframe in which both the financing and work will take place. Capital projects typically carry considerable future impact, meaning, they have a life span of at least five years or more.
Over the next 2 years, staff is proposing to fund $92.4 million in capital projects. These projects were presented to Council in February, March, and April. Tonight, will be the beginning of the budget workshop meetings that will discuss the operating budget. The Operating Budget is used to finance all day-to-day operations and obligations of the City. This budget includes all departmental operations, debt service, small capital expenditures (less than $10,000), and fund transfer payments (advances and subsidies) for the next two fiscal year’s. The funding for the budget is derived from taxes, fees, licenses, fines, and inter-governmental revenues (state and federal).
The operating budget starts by creating a baseline budget and building upon that to plan out the next two years. The City uses actual numbers from the prior two years and current year projections as the baseline. Finance creates a set of strategic guidelines to help departments prepare their proposed budgets. The strategic guidelines for this two-year budget are to:
· Budget revenues conservatively
· Seek cost saving measures that produce the same service delivery at a lower cost · Find ways to address deferred maintenance
· Produce a balanced budget
Due to the complexity of creating the budget, a timeline is created to ensure the budget can be adopted by June 30th as shown in Table 1 - Budget Process Calendar.

Budget Document Adoption June
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a budget by June 30th to comply with City Charter provisions requiring a budget appropriation for all expenditures. However, if Council is concerned or desires further discussion of the budget, additional hearings could be scheduled. Extending adoption of the budget past June 30th would result in the City having expenditures with no appropriation, in violation of the City Charter. This would be an undesirable outcome and is not recommended by staff.

The guiding principles that inspired the recommendations contained in this budget were established by City Council on October 16, 2023. At this meeting Council set five budget goals and priorities which were used as a framework for budgeting operations and capital projects. Below are the budget’s strategic goals:
Economic Vitality
· Promote a vibrant economy that provides an equitable opportunity for all; · Facilitate programs to develop, attract, and retain businesses; · Foster economic development in both commercial and industrial.
Fiscal Strength
· Continue to maintain the City’s good fiscal health and sustainability; · Adopt a balanced budget;
· Continue to maintain the General Fund Emergency Reserve at 30% of operating expenditures.
Invest in Infrastructure & Growth
· Plan for the development of future infrastructure;
· Maintain, improve, and replace assets and infrastructure within the City; · Ensure safe, reliable infrastructure that benefits the community; · Seek grant funding to maintain and expand City infrastructure to meet the community's needs; · Manage, maintain, and enhance the City’s roadways to provide a safe and effective transportation system.

· Provide excellent public service that is efficient, accessible, and responsive to all; · Provide high-quality essential City services;
· Attract and retain a talented, diverse, and engaged workforce across the entire City organization;
· Utilize and add technology to increase efficiencies for City services; · Continue to make improvements that equip the City to deliver excellent services to the community.
Quality of Life
· Maintain quality of life for the citizens of Visalia; · Continue City efforts to reduce homelessness while collaborating and advocating regionally as appropriate;
· Provide diverse housing through a variety of programs and policies for all income levels; · Provide diverse community experiences and personal enrichment for all ages; · Continue to improve parks, recreational amenities, open space, and trailways for a connected community.
This budget is also responsive to community priorities, including addressing the continued service requirements indicated as essential by our public. In addition, it also aligns with the Budget Survey conducted in October 2023 to receive public input.
The budget projection includes continued revenue growth in majority of the funds as economic activity in the City continues to increase and new businesses open. While revenues continue to have small growth, we must recognize that other foreign and domestic factors (i.e. inflation, housing prices, supply chain disruptions, etc.) could negatively impact the growth and expansion of our local economy. Any of these factors could also cause another economic downturn. Staff is optimistic, but we must also be fiscally responsible by having sufficient reserves, balanced budgets, and prudent spending policies.

The General Fund is not restricted and resources can be used to provide a broad array of public services. This fund is comprised of multiple revenue sources including, but not limited to, taxes (such as property, sales, and lodging taxes, etc.), user fees, fines, and development related fees.
The General Fund proposed budget has an increase in FY 2024/25 of $8.7 million (7.8%) and an increase of $3.8 million (3.3%) for FY 2025/26. The General Fund proposed budget is balanced and is projected to have a surplus of $6.0 million in FY 2024/25 and $3.6 million in FY 2025/26. This budget also includes a wage increase of 6% in FY 2024/25 and 4% in FY 2025/26. The surplus, if realized, will be deposited first into the General Fund Emergency Reserve fund to continue Council's goal of maintaining the Emergency Reserve balance at 30% of operating expenditures and any remainder will be deposited into the Civic Center Reserve Fund.
The City’s budget includes all allocated positions and assumes no vacancies, as is the usual practice. In the past, vacancy savings have been used to fund emergency, unplanned, or projects that are scheduled in the future years.
The City also remains cautiously optimistic that growth will continue in all General Fund revenues as economic activity in the City continues to increase and new businesses open. Sales Tax is the largest revenue source in the general Fund which represents 45% of the total revenues. Even though total revenues are increasing, sales tax is projected to decrease -1% in 2024/25 ($46.2 million) and have a 1% growth in FY 2025/26 ($46.6 million) as shown in Chart 1 - Sales Tax History. This reduced growth is a realignment from the impacts of the one-time stimulus money that was issued by the Federal government for COVID. From FY 2019/20 to FY 2022/23, sales tax grew by 28% ($13.2m) which is partially due to stimulus money being spent in the community and economic growth.
Chart 1 - Sales Tax History
The City’s Property Tax revenue is projected to increase by 3% in FY 2024/25 and 2% in FY 2025/26 due to growth, annual assessed property value increases, and property sales. This projection is conservative and does not include a recession. Property values will not be affected in either year should a recession occur since increases or decreases in property values typically lag a year or two behind changes in the economy. Sales Tax and Property Tax are the City’s two main General Fund revenue sources. The annual total Sales Tax and Property Tax generated is projected to reach $81 million in FY 2025/26, or 80% of the General Fund revenues as shown in Chart 2 – General Fund Major Revenues.

CHALLENGES
While Visalia’s economy continues to be strong, the City cannot afford to let down its guard and dismiss its adherence to the fiscally sound policies and decisions that have brought us to this point. The majority of the City’s funds are doing well. Revenues are up in all categories, except sales tax, and departments are controlling their expenditures to the best of their abilities, however costs for goods and services have risen significantly over the last three years due to inflation and supply shortages. Overall, the City is in good financial shape. However, like all Government Agencies throughout California, the City is faced with increases in pension costs, health care, minimum wage, annual operating costs, aging infrastructure, and a potential economic downturn.
Visalia, like many businesses across the nation, is struggling to retain current employees and fill vacant positions. Employees are the City’s most important resource as they serve Visalia residents by providing high quality programs and services. In order to retain employees, the City must compensate them appropriately and competitively for the work they perform, attempting to keep pace with the labor market. The City is in a three-year agreement with all seven bargaining groups that is ending June 30, 2024. The budget for both years includes a wage adjustment of 6% in FY 2024/25 and 4% in FY 2025/26. Many corporations are now allowing employees to work a modified schedule or providing options to work from home. The battle to fill positions and retain employees has employers looking at hiring bonuses, referral bonuses, wage increases, longevity pay, and other workplace flexibility. Implementing any of these options would result in additional cost to the City.
Like everyone else, Visalia is dealing with inflation and continued supply shortages which is increasing costs significantly. In addition to inflation, operating costs are increasing as more technology is implemented throughout the departments. Technology is used for communication, operations, data collection, and administration of processes. Technology allows departments to become more efficient and responsive in many ways but comes with an annual on-going cost.
While revenues continue to have small growth, we must recognize that other foreign and domestic factors (i.e. inflation, housing prices, supply chain disruptions, etc.) could negatively impact the growth and expansion of 21 1-5
our local economy. Any of these factors could also cause another economic downturn. We are optimistic, but we must also be fiscally responsible by having sufficient reserves, balanced budgets, and prudent spending policies.
CONCLUSION/ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This budget message will provide an overview of the City’s financial program for the next two years and the major priorities and issues that helped shape the budget. Please note that the City’s budget document is an essential expression of our municipality’s core mission, City Council policy priorities, and ultimately, the community’s vision.
We would like to thank both the City Council and City staff for the strong partnership that has brought us to this point and will carry us into the future.

BUDGET ANALYSIS
The proposed budget for FY 2024/25 and 2025/26 is comprised of all City funds, including the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service Funds. The proposed budget appropriation for FY 2024/25 is $295.3 million and $329.9 million in FY 2025/26.
The proposed budget includes a total of 708 full-time employees and 225 part-time employees. This count includes the addition of 16 new full-time positions across the organization.

In total, 7.5 full-time positions are proposed within the General Fund, and 8.5 full-time positions in the Internal Service, Special Revenue, and Enterprise funds. The recommended new positions will increase operating costs by a total $1.4 million annually, and also will add an estimated one-time cost of $0.5 million to equip the new employees. The proposed positions are listed in Table 1 FY 2024/25 & 2025/26 Recommended Positions.
Table 1 FY 2024/25 & 2025/26 Recommended Positions
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is the largest individual fund in the City and is comprised of 9 operating departments. The proposed budget for the General Fund is $95.0 million in FY 2024/25 and $98.8 in FY 2025/26. The General Fund is expected to have a surplus in both budget years which is projected to be $5.9 million in FY 2024/25 and $3.6 million in FY 2025/26, as shown in Table 2, General Fund Budget Summary.

General Fund Revenues
The General Fund’s primary resources are general tax revenues such as sales tax, property taxes, transient occupancy tax, and business tax. These taxes represent $92.6 million (FY 2024/25), or 92%, of the General Fund total revenues and are the most likely to fluctuate based upon economic changes. These tax revenues pay for services that have a general benefit to the community, such as public safety, recreation services, parks, and development services. The largest tax revenue for the City is Sales Tax, as shown in Chart 1 – General Fund Revenues.

Sales Tax is a consumption tax imposed by the State on the sale of goods. Sales tax is levied at the point of sale, based upon the sale price of a taxable item, collected by the retailer, and passed on to the State. It is not a tax imposed on a resident’s home or property, nor is it applied to purchases such as groceries or prescription medication. Visitors purchasing taxable goods in our City also pay this tax. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration then allocates 1%* of taxable sales occurring in Visalia to the City. Sales tax is the City’s largest General Fund revenue source, generating 45% of total revenues. *(.05% of Sales Tax received from the State within Tulare County is retained as revenue by Tulare County, leaving .95% of local sales tax to be received by cities located within Tulare County.)
The largest revenue source in the General Fund is sales tax which represents 45% of the total revenues. Sales tax has seen a 28% growth since 2020 which increased from $33.4 million to $46.6 million. The large growth is mainly due to the multi-year COVID stimulus money that the Federal Government issued. This one-time money has ended and as a result sales tax is being realigned as shown in Chart 2 – Sales Tax Growth. This realignment is projected to go through fiscal year 2025/26. Staff is projecting sales tax to have 0% growth in this fiscal year and grow at a rate of -1% for FY 2024/25 and 1% for FY 2025/26. This realignment is optimistic and does not include a recession. Sales Tax revenue is very volatile because it is based on consumer spending. The one-time COVID money was good for the economy and as a result most cities saw a large increase in sales tax. However, this extra spending has slowed down as the cost of living continues to rise and disposable income becomes less.
Chart 2 – Sales Tax Growth
Property Tax is the General Fund’s second largest revenue source. This tax is imposed on real property (land and permanently attached improvements, such as buildings) and tangible personal property (such as airplanes) located within the City. A total tax of 1% is levied on the assessed value of the property as determined by the Tulare County Assessor. The City of Visalia receives 11.57% of the 1% levy on the assessed 25 1-9
value of this property. Pursuant to Proposition 13, increases to assessed values are based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), up to a maximum increase of 2%.
The City’s property tax revenues have also increased due to growth in assessed valuation from new construction, resale of existing properties, and property improvement projects. Because of the way taxable property is assessed, there is a natural delay in the response of property tax revenues to changes in economic conditions. The City’s property taxes have increased annually since FY 2010/11 with an average growth of 5%, as shown in Chart 3, Property Tax History. To be conservative, staff is projecting a 3% increase in FY 24/25 and 2% increase in FY 25/26.
Chart 3 – Property Tax History (in millions)
Together Sales Tax and Property Tax represent 80% of General Fund revenues. The remaining General Fund revenues are the following:
Franchise Fees are imposed on various companies using “public rights-of-way” to conduct their revenue generating business operations. These fees are charged on utility payments for electricity, gas, cable, and water. In the past, these fees have had little growth due to advances in technology. For example, AT&T has customers moving from land lines to cell phones. In addition, AT&T took over Direct TV which has customers bundling their cell phones with Direct TV, instead of AT&T U-Verse which utilized landlines. This reduces the franchise fees generated from their business. However, over the last 3 years, this revenue has increased by 21% due to growth and higher electrical, gas, and water utility rates. This fee is projected to collect $4.0 million this year and grow 2% in FY 2024/25 and 2025/26.
Business Taxes is to be paid by all entities engaging in business within the City. Business Tax is one of the top revenue generators for the City which is projected to be $3.6 million this fiscal year. This revenue is expected to increase 1% each year over the next two years. Like all other economically sensitive revenues, these will be heavily monitored to keep a close watch on our local economy.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) also known as a “Bed Tax” is a 10% tax applied to short term lodging rentals such as hotel, inn, motel, short-term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO, etc) or other lodging facilities within the City’s jurisdiction. This revenue is expected to increase 1% each year over the next two years.
All Other Revenues are fees charged to users of City provided services, fines, and grant reimbursements.
Fees charged for City services are designed to at least partially cover costs incurred for providing those services. The majority of these fees are for services rendered by Planning, Engineering Development, Recreation, and Fire. This revenue is expected to increase 1% each year over the next two years. 26 1-10
General Fund Expenditures
This fiscal year (2023/24) is expected to end with a surplus of $14.8 million due to greater than anticipated growth in revenues and vacancy savings. The General Fund currently has 50 vacancies with 56% of them in the Police Department. The General Fund Expenditures consist of six categories as shown in Table 3– FY 2024/25 & 2025/26 General Fund Appropriation.
Table 3 – FY 2024/25 & 2025/26 General Fund Appropriation Salary & Benefits – The largest expense in the General Fund is salary and benefits which accounts for 74% of the General Funds total expenses. The total budget for salary and benefits for FY 2024/25 is $70.4 million and $73.3 million in FY 2025/26. The 12% increase over the current year is mainly due to vacancies. The City’s budget includes all allocated positions and assumes no vacancies, as is the usual practice. In the past, vacancy savings have been used to fund emergency, unplanned, or advance projects that are scheduled in the capital future years. Other increases in this category are due to rising health care costs, PERS, and wage adjustments as additional positions are added or reclassified. The budget for both years also includes a wage adjustment of 6% in FY 2024/25 and 4% in FY 2025/26. This budget does not include other wage adjustments that have currently been agreed upon such as longevity pay of $3.0 plus million. The current MOU ends for all seven bargaining groups on June 30, 2024. As this document is being prepared, not all bargaining groups have entered into a new agreement.
Operating Expenses – Operating Expenses for the General Fund are projected to increase by 6% ($1.0 million) in FY 2024/25 and 2% ($0.3 million) in FY 2025/26. Over the last three years, inflation has averaged 5.6% and fuel prices have risen throughout the State by $1-2 dollars a gallon. In addition to the cost increases, supply shortages continue which results in higher cost for supplies, equipment, and vehicles. These increases are being projected into the next fiscal year and could increase operating costs more than staff anticipated.
In addition to inflation, operating costs are increasing as more technology is implemented throughout all City departments. Technology is used for communication, operations, data collection, and the administration of processes. Technology allows departments to become more efficient and responsive in many ways but comes with an on-going cost. Annual maintenance costs for technology is $0.9 million in FY 2024/25. These costs are projected to increase $0.2 million in FY 2025/26.
Services Provided/Allocations – These expenses are for services performed by other departments. These include Human Resources, Payroll, Finance, Fleet, and Information Technology. Their sole purpose is to service all City departments. Their cost is charged through a Service Provided or Allocation to the department receiving service. The Service Provided category is projected to increase 1% annually due to the continued 2023-24 2024/25 24/25 2025/26 25/26

increase from the Internal Service Fleet Fund for the cost of fuel and parts. Allocations for FY 2024/25 and 2025/26 are equal to FY 2023/24. Allocations are calculated using prior year actuals and are currently being calculated to submit for Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Caltrans approval.
Reimbursements – This is money received from various departments and funds for services performed (the revenue side of charges to departments through services provided or allocations).
Capital – The General Fund is proposing an appropriation of $2.9 million in FY2024/25 and $3.6 million in FY 2025/26 for a total of 52 capital projects. Capital projects that arise during the two-year budget may be funded from the budget surplus and vacancy savings.
Fund Transfers/Debt – The General Fund transfers money to other Funds to contribute towards approved programs or services outside the General Fund, and to pay debt service. The proposed total of inter-fund transfers and debt payments is $6.3 million in FY 2024/25 and $6.2 million in FY 2025/26. The majority of these transfers are to cover shortfalls in the operations and debt for the Convention Center and Animal Control Services. These total $5.7 million in FY 24/25 and $5.5 million in FY 25/26.
The total annual debt for the General Fund totals $2.4 million as shown in Table 4 – General Fund Debt.
Table 4 – General Fund Debt
General Fund Emergency Reserve
To fund operations during a natural disaster, economic recession, or an unexpected event, the City Council established a financial policy of maintaining an emergency reserve of 25% of the General Fund’s annual operating expenditures.
The committed balance was appropriately used to provide relief to offset the downturn in revenue during the Great Recession. During the tough years, the General Fund used $12.3 million over five years to avoid excessive layoffs. Council rebuilt the reserves by adding $13.1 million in 4 years, reaching the policy’s 25% funding level in FY 2016/17 as shown in Chart 4 – Emergency Reserves. To be ready for the next downturn, City Council increased the level to 30% on April 15, 2024. The 30% level will be achieved this fiscal year and is expected to be maintained at that level over the next two years by transferring General Fund surplus funds of $2.8 million in FY 2024/25 and $1 million in FY 2025/26.

History has shown that public agencies with sufficient reserves, balanced budgets, and prudent spending policies, recover faster than other communities during a recession. Thankfully, Visalia has been part of this group and this proposed budget will continue this trend.

The forecast shows the City having larger than normal surpluses in this fiscal year and last due to higher than normal vacancies and continued revenue growth. For FY 2024/25 and 2025/26, the City’s revenue forecast is conservative and includes growth but at a much smaller percentage due to revenues showing little growth in this fiscal year. Total revenue increase for FY 2024/25 is $0.2 million (1%), 2025/26 is $1.4 million (2%), and increasing 2% annually in the remaining two years.
Total operating expenditures are forecasted to increase 11% in FY 2024/25 and 4% each year thereafter. The large increase in FY 24/25 assumes all positions are filled going forward. The 4% in the out years is based on continuing cost increases in fuel, supplies, and employee benefits such as health care and PERS. As expenditures outpace revenues, the surplus slowly diminishes.
While the assumptions of this forecast are conservative; they do not include the effects of a recession, which some economic forecasters are saying is beginning in the State of California.
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds account for revenues restricted by ordinance, contract, or State statute. The Special Revenue Funds consist of ten funds with a total proposed budget for FY 2024/25 of $47.9 million and for FY 2025/26 of $50.3 million. The increase in FY 2025/26 is due to more capital projects being budgeted in that year.
The major funds in this category are Measure T, Measure N, Measure R, SB1-RMRA (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act), and Gas Tax. These revenues are shown in Chart 5, Major Special Revenues. The district taxes (Measure T, N, and R) are projected to end this fiscal year with a decline. Measure T and N ended FY 22/23 with a negative growth of -1.2% and this fiscal year is projected to be -6.5%. This decrease is a realignment of the sales tax as mentioned with the General Fund Local Sales Tax. The budget assumes a 0% growth in FY 2024/25 and 1% in FY 2025/26.
Chart 5 – Major Special Revenues (in millions)

Measure N is a ½ cent sales tax override that is collected only within the City of Visalia to be used for essential services. The measure uses a detailed 10-year plan which includes the hiring of personnel, construction of capital projects, and equipment purchases. This Measure was passed by the voters in November 2016 to assist the General Fund with funding additional positions in Police, Fire, Recreation, and Parks. It also funds capital projects such as street maintenance and recreational facility maintenance. This two year budget represents years 8 and 9 of the plan.
Measure R is a County-wide, ½ cent sales tax for roads. It is allocated to localities in three different pieces:
35% in local monies to be used as determined by each city; 50% for regional projects as determined by the local ballot measure; and 15% for trails and bikeways according to the ballot measure.
The local money is allocated annually in a fairly constant manner, but the regional monies are made available when projects are slated to occur for the City. This revenue is estimated based upon the ballot measure’s schedule and is on a reimbursement basis. Below are a couple of the projects Measure R will be funding during this budget:
• Lovers Lane Center Median from Caldwell to Walnut ($0.8 million): Construction of landscape median surrounding the existing median trees along Lovers Lane between Caldwell Avenue and Walnut Avenue. This project has been identified to protect the landscaping in the center median and to protect the motoring public from entering the landscape inadvertently. • Mill Creek Parkway - Lovers Lane to McAuliff ($2.0 million): Collection of data for preparation of traffic study for the intersection of Mill Creek Parkway and McAuliff Street to design (2024/25) and construct (2025/26) intersection control treatment which may include traffic signal; Cape seal along Mill Creek Parkway; Striping Mill Creek Parkway to convert from 2 lanes to 4-lanes and planned replacement of existing wooden median lights. Data collection to include intersections at Lovers Lane/Mill Creek Parkway; McAuliff/E. Mineral King Ave; McAuliff/Murray; McAuliff/Douglas; and McAuliff/Houston.
Multi funded project total of $2.25m from $1.98m Measure R Local (131), and $275k LTF Funds (281- LTF).
• Cameron Avenue Median Extension ($0.9 million): Extend the existing median within Cameron Avenue from Stonebrook Street for approximately 1,100 feet west connecting to the existing median within Cameron Avenue. Project will also include installation of a traffic signal at the main drive into the Costco shopping center to align with the development located at the northwest corner of Cameron Avenue and Stonebrook Street. Cameron Avenue will also be restriped to accomodate the constructed median and traffic signal.
Measure T is a ¼ cent sales tax override that is collected only within the City of Visalia for public safety. The measure started in 2004 and uses a detailed 20-year plan which includes the hiring of personnel, construction of capital projects, and equipment purchases. The plan was reauthorized in January of 2021 and the last year of the planned expenditures is 2024. Measure T is currently operating on an amended plan to ensure the funds stay balanced. The plan funds 23 police officers and 13 fire positions. Majority of the plan elements have been implemented with the only item remaining being contributing to the Public Safety Building that is currently under design. Measure T is crucial to the City and has a significant importance for the Police and Fire department.
Gas Tax has become a major revenue source as the State has converted Prop 42 sales tax revenues into gas tax revenue. This fund is estimated to receive $3.9 million in revenue annually and is to be used for street improvements and maintenance. The budget for FY 2024/25 includes 20 capital projects that total $2.8 million, and the FY 2025/26 has 22 capital projects that total $3.0 million. 31 1-15
SB1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) is an additional gas tax charged at the pump to address street maintenance in California. The additional tax was approved in 2017 and adds approximately $3.5 million annually to the City’s street maintenance program. Both Gas Tax and SB1 funds are projected to increase by 2% in each budget year. This revenue could increase more than projected due to the change in population, electric vehicles, and gas prices.
Capital Project Funds
Capital Project Funds consist of Impact Fee Funds and Transportation Grant Funds. The Impact Fee funds receive fees paid by developers for new parks, streets, storm, and sewer infrastructure needed to accommodate future growth.
These funds have seen strong growth as development has increased over the last seven years. The funds are projected to have a 2% revenue increase over both years. The recommended budget for all impact fee projects is $9.1 million in FY 2024/25 and $26.3 million in FY 2025/26. The following list highlights some capital projects recommended in this budget for these funds:
• 4-Acre Neighborhood Park ($2.7 million): Per the general plan the City will acquire land, design, and build a 4-acre neighborhood park in the area of Tulare and Roeben. Neighborhood Parks are intended to provide basic recreation activities for one or more neighborhoods with a service area of one half to one mile radius. Neighborhood parks usually include playgrounds, picnic tables, benches, and walkways. This location will also include innovative features. Annual maintenance costs for this park are estimated to be $96k per year.
• Shirk Regional Basin ($1.7 million): Design, ROW, and construction of new regional basin on West side of Shirk Road between Paradise Ave and Tulare Ave. Basin will serve the future widening of Shirk and tier 2 and 3 development between SR198 and Walnut Ave. Acquire approximately 17 acres for ultimate basin configuration, design, and construction. Development has already started expressing interest in the area. Starting design and acquisition early will allow for excavation to be done by development as it occurs. Construction by the City is therefore put in the planning years. • Visalia Parkway Improvements-North Half ($1.9 million): Extend this arterial transportation corridor between Stonebrook Street and Court Street. Construct the northerly half to provide one lane of travel in each direction within current right of way. Improves mobility and connectivity of the southern shopping district and neighborhoods in the south east community of the City. Future CIP, Visalia Parkway & Santa Fe Intersection, will connect Visalia Parkway from Court to Santa Fe, and establish future alignment east towards Ben Maddox. Multi funded project total of $4.1m from $2.6m Transportation Impact (241) including prior year funding of $631k and $1.459m State Transportation (281-LTF).
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds, on a combined basis make up approximately 39% of the City total budget. The Enterprise Funds consist of 8 distinct operations funded from user fees and charges. Enterprise operations function like private sector businesses. They generally require a significant investment in equipment and infrastructure to deliver services for a fee. The Enterprise Funds proposed budget in FY 2024/25 is $116.9 million and in FY 2025/26 is $125.8 million. The three largest Enterprise Funds are Solid Waste, Wastewater, and Transit making up 87% of the total Enterprise Revenues collected as shown in the Chart 6 FY 2024/25 Enterprise Revenue and Chart 7 FY 2024/25 Enterprise Expenditures.
32 1-16
Chart 6 – FY 2024/25 Enterprise Revenues
Chart 7 – FY 2024/25 Enterprise Expenditures
33 1-17
Airport receives majority of its revenues from Airport user fees, such as hangar rentals and fuel sales.
Compared to last fiscal year, fuels sales are projected to slightly increase this fiscal year and continue to increase over the next two years. These revenues will be used to fund the Airport’s operating expenses of $2.5 million annually in both FY 2024/25 and 2025/26.
The primary source of funding for Airport capital projects is Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program (FAA-AIP) grants. Based upon the Airport master plan, the City submits projects to the FAA for funding. The recommended capital projects for FY 2024/25 total $0.7 million and $4.2 million in FY 2025/26. Airport will be reconstructing taxi lanes A & B along with constructing hanger H3 row 10 for a total of $4.6 million.
Animal Control Services is a full-service City-run Animal Care Facility. The City of Visalia Animal Care Facility is a relatively new facility constructed by the City and opened in May 2015. The $6.6 million facility was financed with a 15-year loan which has an annual debt payment of $0.57 million. The balance of this loan will be $2.1 million in July of 2024, and the full amount will be repaid by the General Fund in FY 2027/28.
Animal Control Services charges fees for dog licensing, a spay and neuter program, kennel fees, and many other services. Visalia’s Animal Care Facility has a very successful animal rescue and adoption which has capacity to offer sheltering services to neighboring cities such as City of Dinuba, Farmersville, and Exeter to increase revenues. Due to revenues not covering expenditures, Animal Control receives a contribution from the General Fund. The total General Fund transfer for operations, capital set-aside, and debt payments is $2.1 million for FY 2024/25 and $1.9 million for FY 2025/26.
Building Safety revenues are projected to increase in FY 2024/25 by 2% ($66,500) to $3.6 million and increase by another 2% in FY 2025/26 to $3.7 million. Building permits issued over the last seven years have increased a total of 28%. However, in the current fiscal year, building permits are seeing a decrease, therefore decreasing the base revenue for the two years going forward. The decrease is a result of timing from when a subdivision gets approved to when the permits get pulled.
For several years, Building Safety has managed to add staff and make improvements to increase efficiency and enhance customer service. The recommended capital projects for FY 2024/25 includes a project to upgrade the permit software system to the Cloud. This new platform will allow for better tracking and enhanced services such as paying permits on-line and providing e-plan submittal and review for any permit. In addition, two new positions will be added in this budget to reduce permit review turn-around times, reduce rollover inspections, and increase customer satisfaction.
Overall, construction activity drives revenue collection in several categories, and is also an indicator of future activity for several other categories, such as property taxes, impact fees, and storm and sanitary sewer system fees.
Convention Centerrevenues come from rental fees and annual General Fund contributions. The Convention Center completed a renovation in 2017 to enhance and modernize the facility. The Convention Center was forced to close its doors on March 19, 2020, when the COVID 19 Stay-At-Home order became effective. Events that were booked during that period were either cancelled or postponed indefinitely and staff laid off. COVID 19 restrictions kept the Convention Center closed until June 15, 2021. Facilities of this type have been slow to recover which has caused the revenues to continue to be less than the pre-pandemic revenues. Events have been increasing over the last couple of years. The current budget has revenues increasing 2% each year.
Staff is projecting a General Fund transfer of $3.1 million in FY 2024/25 and $3.2 million in FY 2025/26 for operations, capital set-aside, and debt payments.
34 1-18
The Convention Center has two debt issuances that total $7 million. The total annual payment on this combined debt is $1.1 million. The older debt remaining from the 1985 expansion of the facility will be fully repaid in 2025, and the 2017 renovation debt will be paid off in 2029. The Convention Center will continue to require refurbishing to remain competitive in the marketplace.
Transit remains financially sound as the result of the significant federal and state funding it receives. Without these funds, Transit would be unable to operate or replace its capital assets. The need to keep fares affordable requires operating grants to pay approximately 74% of Transit’s operational costs. Like the Convention Center, the pandemic has affected ridership and remains below the pre-pandemic ridership numbers. Transit is currently looking at ways to improve ridership by changing routes and adding a micro transit pilot program.
Visalia Transit not only provides service within the Visalia community and around Tulare County, but also offers service to Sequoia National Park (SNP) and Fresno. The City operates the Sequoia Shuttle inside the park under a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service. In 2023, the City transported over 290,070 passengers within the park. The City also operates the Sequoia Gateway shuttle, providing transportation from Visalia to the Sequoia Park to over 11,055 passengers annually.
The Transit V-LINE service transports passengers from Visalia to Fresno with stops at the Transit Center, Visalia Airport, Fresno Airport, Fresno State, and the Fresno Courthouse Park. In 2023, the V-LINE transported 23,512 passengers. Staff expects the V-Line ridership to increase over the next two years.
The City is required under the Transportation Development Act to generate local fare box revenue sufficient to pay 20% of Transit’s operating expenses. This is referred to as the 20% fare box ratio, and Visalia Transit was meeting this requirement prior to the pandemic. Due to ridership being down, the suspension of the farebox ratio requirement continues. This ridership challenge is being experienced industry-wide, and Visalia Transit will continue to adapt and adjust along with other transit agencies to seek solutions while continuing to provide this vital service to our citizens.
Solid Waste revenues are derived from refuse collection fees from residential and commercial customers.
The Solid Waste revenues collected are to pay for operating expenses and capital projects. Solid Waste is having to implement new regulations that require more composting and recycling. In addition, Solid Waste will have to continue to meet air quality regulations when replacing vehicles in the future. The recommended operating and capital budget for Solid Waste is $27.9 million in FY 2024/25 and $25.5 million in FY 2025/26. The majority of the $2.4 million dollar decrease in the second year is from capital projects which include the replacement of seven refuse trucks in FY 2024/25. The revenue budget assumes a 2% growth each year.
Storm Maintenance receives monies generated from storm sewer user fees. The fees for this fund are collected with the monthly utility bill and it receives a portion of the monthly flat storm sewer rate.
The current storm fees being collected are not sufficient to meet storm sewer maintenance needs. To supplement the revenues of this fund, Visalians authorized a portion of the Kaweah Lake Enlargement fee to be transferred annually to the Storm Sewer Maintenance fund beginning in April of 2013 (Resolution 2013-25).
This has allowed approximately $300k per year to be shifted from the Kaweah Lake Fund to the Storm Sewer Maintenance Fund which has helped but is not enough to provide for the entire funding shortfall. Storm Maintenance fees will be reviewed and updated to the necessary level once the current Storm Sewer Master Plan update is completed. This master plan is anticipated to be completed within this two-year budget.
The recommended operating and capital budget for Storm Maintenance is $3.1 million in FY 2024/25 and $2.8 million in FY 2025/26.
35 1-19
Wastewater is the City’s largest Enterprise Fund. Wastewater’s revenues are derived from Sanitary Sewer user fees and rates. Funds are to be used only for operations, maintenance, and improvements, including vehicle and equipment acquisitions related to collection and disposal of wastewater. Revenues are projected to increase by 2% for community growth and business changes.
In response to the City’s need to comply with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, the Wastewater Plant completed a project in 2018 that brought the facility’s wastewater discharge to tertiary standards, which is clean enough for all uses except drinking water.
Visalia’s wastewater system is one of the most successful in the industry. In a unique and successful arrangement, our high-quality treated water is exchanged with the Tulare Irrigation District for fresh water coming into the area upstream from Visalia. The exchange water is routed into ponding basins east of Visalia, recharging the City’s aquifer, working to reverse the long-term ground water overdraft trend. Some water from the plant is recycled back to Plaza Park and Valley Oaks Golf to irrigate landscaped and turf areas. The project received a Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan of $96 million that will be paid back over 30 years at 2.1% interest. The loan repayment started in FY 2018/19. In addition, this project received $18 million in grants.
The recommended operating and capital budget for Wastewater is $31 million over the two years. Wastewater rates were last increased in 2012 and will be evaluated during this budget.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds provide services exclusively to other City operations on a cost reimbursement basis.
These services are building maintenance, information services, vehicle maintenance and replacement, and insurance (health, property, workers comp.). All funding for the Internal Service Funds is derived from charges to City departments. The Internal Service Funds proposed budget in FY 2024/25 is $24.8 million and in FY 2025/26 is $27.2 million. The increase in FY 2025/26 is due to capital projects for the replacement of vehicles and technology in several Internal Service Funds.
CONCLUSION
This budget is a product of the City Council’s sound leadership, prudent fiscal stewardship, and consistent policy direction. While Council has made fiscally prudent decisions to guard the City’s revenues, budget challenges remain, as noted in this report. The City will continue to seek ways to improve efficiencies, enhance services, and acquire additional funding for operations, capital, and maintenance. Moreover, this budget represents the City’s continued commitment to provide a high level of municipal services to its constituents and fair compensation with reasonable benefits for employees without compromising financial policies, or the responsibility to conserve the resources of the City and the community. 36 1A-1
Community Profile
THE EARLY YEARS OF VISALIA
When California achieved statehood in 1850, Tulare County did not exist. The land that is now our County was part of the huge county of Mariposa. In 1852 some adventuresome pioneers settled in this area, then called “Four Creeks”. It was a swampy area within a massive oak forest, with waterways flowing from the Sierra Nevada. Desirous of local autonomy, the group petitioned the state legislature for county status, and on July 10, 1852, Tulare County officially became its own county.
In the heart of “Four Creeks Country” the site
of John Wood’s cabin became the first county
seat, known as Woodsville. In the same year,
just west of Woodsville, another settlement
was beginning on the banks of a little creek.
The early pioneers, fearful of attacks by Native
Americans, built a log fort for protection but
soon discovered that it was not necessary.
One of the first inhabitants of the fort was
Nathaniel Vise, who was responsible for
surveying the new settlement in November
1852. In a letter that year he wrote, “The town
contains from 60-80 inhabitants, 30 of whom
are children who already attend school. The
town is located upon one of the subdivisions of the Kaweah and is destined to be the county seat of Tulare”. In 1853, Visalia wrested the county seat designation from Woodsville, and that designation has remained with Visalia.
Named for Nathaniel Vise’s ancestral home - Visalia,
Kentucky - Visalia began to add residents at a rapid rate. In the mid 1850’s the “Kern River Excitement”, to the south, brought many transient miners through the town on their way to the promised gold fields. However, the gold failed to materialize, and many returned to Visalia to live their lives. In 1858 the town received another boost. John
Butterfield’s Overland Stage chose Visalia as a timetable stop on the St. Louis to San Francisco route. Waterman
Ormsby, a newspaper correspondent for the New York
Herald, was a passenger on the inaugural trip. The
reception given to him by Visalians so impressed him that he wrote, “The rousing cheers they gave us as we drove off...ought to be remembered in the history of the town, so I here immortalize them”. 37 1A-2
In 1860 the telegraph arrived in Visalia, indicating the serious unrest in the East, unrest that would ultimately develop into the Civil War. The nation was divided on state’s rights issues, as was Visalia.
The federal government, concerned about
sedition, banned Visalia’s pro-south Equal
Rights Expositor newspaper and established a
military garrison. Visalia’s Camp Babbitt was
established in 1862 to stop overt Southern
support as well as maintain law and order in the
community. During the Civil War years, Visalia
became incorporated, giving the town new
rights. A Board of
Trustees was elected with Nathan Baker appointed as President.
The town’s second incorporation occurred in 1874, moving the 1,000 citizens into city status. A Common Council was formed with Summerfield Sheppard being appointed President and ex-officio Mayor. The mid-1870’s brought a building boom to Visalia and the future of Visalia appeared bright. The end of the 19th century saw the railroad bypass Visalia slightly to the west and headlines of the day featured the adventures of local train robbers Chris Evans and John Sontag.
As Visalia entered the 1900’s the City had grown to slightly more than 3,000 people. Automobiles began to arrive and soon outnumbered horses and wagons. The population of Visalia grew slowly but steadily throughout the early half of the 20th Century. It wasn’t until the 1960’s that Visalia, the Valley’s best kept secret, was really discovered. By 1970 Visalia’s population had grown to 27,268 according to the U. S. Census, nearly doubling from 15,791 in 1960.
VISALIA TODAY
The City of Visalia is located in Tulare County, which is located in the San Joaquin Valley, approximately 185 miles north of Los Angeles and 220 miles south of San
Francisco. The City operates under the Council-Manager
form of government and provides a wide range of
municipal services, including police and fire protection as well as public works, community development, and other
community services. The City currently has a land area of 38 square miles and a population of 141,384 as of April 2020.
38 1A-3
The City Council is composed of five members who are elected to represent the City and their respective Districts alternating four-year terms staggered every two years. The City Council selects one of its members to serve as Mayor for a two-year
term. A City Manager is appointed by the City
Council to direct all City functions.
Historically, Visalia’s economy has been based
on agriculture and related industries. In recent
years, however, the City has broadened its
economic base to include many diversified
industrial enterprises including shipping point
hubs, business forms, metal products,
electronic components, food and fiber processing plants, distribution centers, and call centers for claims processing. It is the County seat and principal trading center for the County, which consistently ranks as one of the two most productive counties in the United States in terms of agricultural output.
This economic growth has been accompanied by a significant increase in population and has established Visalia as a regional trading center serving not only Tulare County, but also southern Fresno County, Kings County, and northern Kern County. The
City receives approximately 45% of the retail sales in
Tulare County while having about 29% of the
population.
The climate of the area is warm and dry in the summer,
and mild in the winter with low humidity. January
average high and low temperatures range from 55
degrees to 39 degrees. July average high and low
temperatures range from 94 degrees to 67 degrees. The
average yearly rainfall is 10.93 inches.
Our Promise
In all we do, we do it with heart. The City of Visalia and our employees are dedicated to providing quality services and creative solutions to make the community a place we are proud to call home. We strive to deliver services in an approachable and friendly way – the Visalia way.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) BUDGET INSTRUCTIONS
All General Fund CIP projects were ranked using the following criteria:
1. Implementation of a Council priority
2. Support of the City of Visalia General Plan
3. Resolution of a health and safety concern
4. Results in a savings of money or avoids additional costs
5. Promotion of efficient operations
The scale to be applied to ranking General Fund CIP projects is:
Level 1 Ranking Definition
1 Items of the highest importance
2 Useful, but lower priority
3 Would provide improvements, but can wait
The following sub-rankings can be applied to Level 1 rankings:
Sub-ranking Definition
A Health and safety or urgent need
B Highly desirable and useful
Level 2 Ranking Definition
+/- Moves higher level rankings higher or lower
Upon completion of the initial rankings by Finance, the CIP Review Committee members meet to discuss and agree on any proposed changes to the assigned rankings. Projects beyond fiscal years 24/25 & 25/26 are typically not ranked as the Council will only be approving appropriations for these years.
NARRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
Accomplishments and Objectives
When presenting information about accomplishments and objectives, it is particularly important to highlight information that supports the City Council's goals. Further, the objectives, to be meaningful, need to be something that can follow the SMART rubric for evaluation: Specific, Measurable, Appropriate, Reasonable, and Time-bound. Consider dividing objectives into service-level objectives and annual, finite project goals. Please limit your accomplishments and objectives to the top five.
Performance Measures
Performance measures should be indicators that reveal the effectiveness, efficiency, or workload. For consistency in measurement from year to year, the same measures should be used and updated for the most recent periods. For example, the upcoming two-year budget performance measures should cover a 5-year period; actuals for fiscal years 2021/22 and 2022/23, projections for 2023/24, and estimates for both 2024/25 and 2025/26.
BUDGET REVIEW
The Finance department compiled all the budget information and assisted each department in completing the goals, objectives, and performance measurements. The Finance Director met with each Department Head to 46 1A-11
review budget requests. Revisions were made as necessary and a meeting was held with the City Manager to review final details of the budget.
BUDGET ADOPTION
Two public hearings are required prior to the adoption of the budget. The first public hearing was held on June 3rd and the second on June 17th. The City Council approved a resolution to adopt the 2024/25 & 2025/26 budget on June 17th. Once approved, the budget becomes the basis for operations and capital expenditures throughout each fiscal year.
BUDGET AMENDMENTS
In accordance with Charter requirements, after adoption, the City Council may amend or supplement the budget by motion. Amendments to appropriations can occur throughout the year or during Mid-Year or Mid-Cycle Budget Reviews.
47 1A-12
The operating budget and the capital budget are organized by funds. A fund is a fiscal entity that accounts for all assets, liabilities, and the resulting equity to carry on specific activities as required by regulations. To determine the total budget for a fund, both the operational and capital budgets for that fund must be combined. The Budget Summary and Fund Summary-Sources provide an overview of the City’s funds.
Following the Budget Summary section are the City’s departments with financial summaries of the budget requests for divisions of the General Fund and all other funds. Following the operating budget for the City’s departments is the capital budget, (Capital Improvement Program) which details planned capital expenditures for the next 6 years.
Annual budgets are adopted by the City Council for all City operations by June 30th each year. This budget is legally required for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and Debt Service Funds. Business Type funds are not legally required to have a budget, but the City adopts a budget as a matter of fiscal management.
FINANCIAL SUMMARIES
The Budget Summary provides a schedule of the City’s entire budget request by fund category.
The Fund Summary - Sources and Uses schedule combines the budgeted transactions (operating and capital) for the year with the beginning resources available (cash) to derive the ending resources available for each of the City’s funds. The budget includes increases or decreases to each fund’s available resources for revenues, operating expenditures (net of reimbursements from other funds), debt service (external and internal), and capital projects. Operating transfers and loan payments between funds will correspondingly either increase or decrease resources to the funds.
The Fund Summaries for Revenues and Operating and Debt Service Expenditures provide a listing of the revenues and expenditures for all funds. The General Fund Summaries are detailed schedules of revenue and operating expenditures.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SECTION
The Capital Improvement Program section details all planned capital projects including planned expenditures for vehicles and equipment. Operating capital equipment and items that cost less than $10,000 are located in the various Operating Budgets and not in the Capital Improvement Program.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Governmental funds are used to account for the government’s general government activities.
Governmental funds are the General Fund, Special Revenue funds, and Debt Service funds. These funds use the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting revenues are recognized, or accrued, when they become both measurable and available. “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The government considers all revenues available if they are collected within 90 days after year-end. Those General Fund revenues which are typically accrued are property taxes, franchise taxes, sales taxes, and interest revenue.
Revenues such as licenses, permits, fines, forfeitures, and penalties are not accrued. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on general longterm debt which is recognized when due.
In contrast, proprietary fund types, such as Business Type funds and Internal Service funds, are accounted for on a full accrual basis. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time the liabilities are incurred. The government applies all applicable Financial Accounting Statements Board (FASB) pronouncements in accounting and reporting for its proprietary operations.
The Fund Summary – Sources and Uses, includes a column that reflects a “Fund/Cash Balance”. The basis of these numbers is fund or cash balance less any outstanding encumbrances or designated projects.
Comparison with the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report The structure of the budget is very similar to that of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). The basis of accounting is the same for the Budget and the ACFR. The Budget is prepared biennially, with budget adjustments done during the mid-cycle between the two budget years.
One difference in the two documents is the classification of funds. In the ACFR, the Los Rios Assessment District, Village West Improvement District, Orchard Walk Underground Utilities District, and the Property and Business Improvement District (PBID) are classified as Agency funds. In the Budget, Los Rios, Village West, and Orchard Walk Underground are categorized as Debt Service funds and the PBID is categorized as a Special Revenue fund.
Another difference is in the ACFR, funds are grouped together for presentation purposes, whereas in the Budget they are presented individually. A listing of funds that are grouped together for presentation purposes in the ACFR follows for informational purposes. Funds not listed below are presented individually in the ACFR document.

Response times to priority emergency calls are a strong indicator of appropriate standards of coverage. Once a fire is developed, it can double in size each minute. Flashover now occurs in 3 to 5 minutes. Brain death will occur in 4 to 6 minutes when a victim is in cardiac arrest. Timely response to both fire and EMS calls have a direct relationship with saving lives and protecting property.
Strategy: Continue to evaluate each segment of the response time from the time fire crews are notified to the time they arrive on scene. Make any changes to current practices that may positively influence response times. Analyze facilities for contributing factors and identify solutions.
Evaluate and adapt measures we can control, continue adding preemption devices to new traffic signals, and explore new technologies and mapping systems. Continue to research City growth and prepare plans to accomodate the changing community.

ADMINISTRATION - 2101
Division Description: The Administration Division includes the Professional Standards and Training Bureau, the Records Unit, and Public Information Bureau and Community Outreach The Professional Standards and Training Bureau oversees hiring and recruitment, internal affairs investigations, coordinates and completes state-mandated reporting, coordinates all internal and external Department training, and maintains all building and fleet operations under the purview of the Department.
The Records Unit oversees all Public Records Act (PRA) requests, coordinates with the District Attorney’s Office for the submission of all criminal reports and distribution of subpoenas and assists citizens in our public lobbies.
The Records Unit also processes all generated police reports, citations, and traffic-related documents generated through the course of Department operations.
The Community Outreach and Public Information Bureau oversees Department efforts related to community outreach and includes social media, event coordination, traditional media requests, and coordination with the City of Visalia communications team.
2022-2024 Accomplishments
1. Transitioned to conducting all Perishable Skills in-house along with significantly increasing the number of trainings hosted by the Department.
This has allowed more staff to attend training without the associated travel cost for attendance at different locations.
2. Department staff successfully integrated two new DOJ reporting requirements including the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) and the Peace Officer Standards and Accountability Act. Department staff submitted over 13,500 RIPA entries, all of which have required supervisor approval and auditing, and ensured compliance with all Peace Officer certification requirements.
3. Between fiscal year 2020/21 and fiscal year 2022/23, PSB staff coordinated 570 interviews for external and internal processes and, working with Human Resources, vetted over 1,209 applicants for the various positions available in the Department, and conducted over 170 background investigations. This resulted in the hiring of 33 police officers, 17 police officer recruits, and 31 professional staff members; and the promotion of 32 members of the Department.
4. The Public Safety Communications Manager was hired to serve as the Public Information Officer for both the Fire and Police Departments. The Department has seen steady growth in social media engagements and followers through a continued effort to keep the community informed of the Department’s activities. Additionally, the Department engaged in 141 community outreach events in this two-year cycle.
205
10-6
5. The Records Unit was able to obtain national certification for the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) which required an error rate of less than three percent. NIBRS replaced the Unified Crime Report System managed by the FBI. There was a total of 15,284 NIBRS entries that were submitted to the FBI. Additionally, the Records Unit received and processed a total of 3,693 public Records Act requests, a 77% increase from fiscal year 2020/21.
2024-2026 Objectives
1. The Visalia Police Department Training Unit seeks to continue developing, enhancing, and increasing the amount of in-house training conducted for Department personnel. This training will provide professional instruction that falls within the Department’s goals and expectations; and will complement the anticipated increase in training locations included with the future Public Safety Administration Building and Evidence Building.
2. The Department seeks to continue building on its aggressive recruiting and hiring strategies to remain competitive with other public safety organizations. This will require expanding our attendance at recruiting fairs, attending more college events, and making use of a wider range of recruiting tools to include an anticipated update to the City’s website. As the Department continues to grow, staff project the need for an additional parttime background investigator.
3. As the City of Visalia moves closer to the construction and eventual completion of the Civic Center, the Administration Division will be heavily involved in the review and approval process related to the new Public Safety Administration Building as well as the successful transfer of operations upon completion.
4. Because of the role that social media now plays in society, the Department will build upon our existing platforms by proactive real-time sharing of events, increasing our press releases and “Happening Now” posts, responding to questions posed on social media, and providing more feelgood post to encourage a consistent and positive social media engagement.
5. As we see increases related to PRA requests, especially in digital forms, the Records division will seek to find solutions in structure and technology to assist in handling customer expectations. This will require staff to consider new technologies that will provide increased productivity, serving as a force multiplier, so that staff can keep pace with demand.

WASTEWATER OVERVIEW
The Wastewater Divisions are responsible for the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater generated from the more than 37,000 homes and businesses within the City of Visalia. As an enterprise fund, user fees provide 100% of the division’s funding.
The wastewater collection system includes 13 lift stations and over 500 miles of sanitary sewer mains ranging in size from 4 inches to 54 inches in diameter. All lift stations are continuously monitored, via a telemetry system, to reduce the risk of sewer blockages and overflows. The wastewater flows to the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) for treatment.
The Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WRF) is designed to provide treatment and disinfection for up to 22.0 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd). The treatment processes remove greater than 99% of total suspended solids (TSS) and biological oxygen demand (BOD); the regulatory requirement is 85%. Current flows average about 12.5 mgd. Although there has been an incremental increase in influent flow in recent years due to an influx of residential, commercial, and industrial development, it has only increased marginally relative to the amount of growth as a result of conservation efforts by Visalia residents. 230

SOLID WASTE OVERVIEW
Solid Waste Divisions are responsible for the collection and disposal of residential, commercial, and industrial solid waste. The operation services more than 42,800 residential customers and over 3,700 business customers within the City of Visalia. As an enterprise fund, 100% of operational revenues come from user fees.
The Solid Waste operation currently has 65 employees. There are 40 separate residential routes for each waste stream (trash, recycle, green waste) and 18 commercial routes within the City. Residential routes utilize 96- gallon carts that are collected with automated side-load trucks. Each waste stream is collected separately.
Commercial accounts utilize a variety of bins and boxes, ranging from two-yard bins to forty-yard boxes, and are serviced with either a front-load refuse truck or a roll-off truck. By law, residential accounts and most commercial accounts are required to separate trash, recyclables, and green waste.
Beginning with fiscal year 2020-21, all maintenance and delivery work was transferred into a new Maintenance Division. This change has increased staff efficiency and productivity and distributed workloads more evenly.
DIVERSION
The State goal was to have a minimum of 75% overall diversion from landfills by 2020. The most current numbers available from the State currently are for 2021. In 2021, the State's overall diversion rate was 40%, in comparison, the City reached 37.28% in fiscal year 2022-23.
The State has set a goal of 6.5 pounds per person per day of solid waste. For the most recent year, Visalia achieved a PPD rate of 5.31. This is significantly below the maximum PPD target, which is very good. 241

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP)
The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget includes all departmental projects and equipment or vehicle purchases costing over $10,000. These Capital Projects are separated from the Operating Budget with the use of various funds. This provides greater transparency for our Capital Improvement Program and prevents artificially inflated numbers in our Operating Budgets.
Each fund operates independently, and projects are planned based on the intended purpose of the specific fund. These projects include the construction of streets and public facilities, the purchase of major pieces of equipment and vehicles, maintenance of existing facilities, land acquisitions for city use, preparation of planning documents and other construction projects. Fund revenues come from various sources; including, but not limited to, State and Federal grants, Sales Tax, Impact Fees, Enterprise Fees, and General Fund appropriations.
The top 25 Capital Improvement Program projects (by cost, highest to lowest) are presented below.
These 25 projects represent 63% of the total capital improvement program appropriations for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 budget years combined.

SUMMARY OF CAPITAL PROJECTS
253
12-4
Budget Preparation
Over the course of 6 Council meetings during the months of February through May 2024, the City Council reviewed the various portions of the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Budget in detail. In preparation for presentation to Council, projects were reviewed by staff to determine the appropriate funding source for each.
Within each separate fund, the projects were prioritized with particular emphasis placed upon projects which fulfill the requirements of General Plan Elements and represent priorities set by the City Council. This process has produced the current 6-year Capital Improvement Plan for 2024/25 - 2029/30.
In the pages that follow, each fund is summarized beginning with a brief description of revenues and any restrictions on their use. A short cash balance summary shows the projected cash flow for each fund over the 6 years of the capital plan. This is followed by a listing of the projects included in each fund. The Capital Improvement Program includes the appropriations for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 fiscal years, along with four additional years presented for planning purposes (2026-2030).
