Agenda Item Wording:
Measure N Public Hearing- Conduct the second of two public hearings on the proposed 10-year plan (2027-2037) and approve the 2026/27 & 2027/28 proposed budget.
Agenda Date: 05/04/2026
Prepared by: Renee Nagel, Finance and Technology Director,559-713-4375, [email protected], Amee Swearingen, Budget Analyst, 559-713-4170, [email protected]
Department Recommendation: That the City Council conduct the second of two public hearings to receive comment on the proposed 2027-2037 10-year plan for Measure N and the 2026/27 & 2027/28 Measure N proposed budget.
Summary:
Measure N has been able to enhance the City by adding and equipping 57 essential positions, growing youth services, and improving streets, parks, trails, and buildings over the last nine fiscal years. Next fiscal year completes the original plan. The proposed new 10-year plan is a continuation of current services and continues to add additional resources.
Background Discussion:
In November of 2016, the voters of Visalia passed a ½ cent Sales Tax Override, Measure N also known as Visalia Essential City Services Measure. Sales Tax from Measure N provides essential city services such as police, fire, and recreation, as well as maintenance of parks, trails, and roads. The measure uses a detailed, 10-year plan which includes hiring of personnel, construction of capital projects and equipment purchases.
As part of the measure, Council adopted an Accountability Ordinance (Ordinance 16-21) to establish accountability measures as outlined:
Revenue Requirements:
· 10% of budgeted revenues must be maintained in an Uncertainty Fund. This money can only be accessed during a fiscal emergency;
· 10% of budgeted revenues must be deposited into the following two categories:
o 2% into Youth Programs
o 8% into Maintenance and Emerging Needs
Expenditure Requirements:
· Tax money shall not be used for debt service payments; · The annual expenditure plan must be approved by Council after the following process has Visalia City Council Page 1 of 10 Printed on 5/1/2026

File #: 25-0781 Agenda Date: 5/4/2026 Agenda #: 2.
occurred:
o City Manager makes a recommendation to City Council and makes changes as requested by Council;
o Staff receives comments and recommendation by Sales Tax Oversight Board; o Staff conducts two public hearings at regular Council Meetings to consider expenditure plan. (tonight’s 2 of 2 public hearings)
The Measure N Budget requires two public hearings and has to be adopted by June 30, 2026 to be able to spend in FY 2026/27. In order to meet this timeline, staff presents the Measure N budget separately from the Citywide budget. The next 10-year plan and the proposed Measure N budget for FY 2026/27 and 2027/28 was reviewed with Council on March 16, 2026. The Measure N Oversight Committee reviewed both the plan and the proposed budget on March 26, 2026 and approved the recommended budget.
The plan is currently in the 9th year and has had amendments throughout the years to add additional staff, programs and capital. The final year of the original plan is FY 26/27 and is the first year of the upcoming two-year budget that is currently being prepared. A new plan will need to be approved to allow the second year of the proposed budget (FY 27/28) to be appropriated.
Proposed New 10-Year Plan:
The new proposed 10-year plan continues with the original intent of the plan to provide essential city services and maintenance of parks, trails and roads. The plan will continue to fund everything that is in the current 10-year plan plus add additional full-time employees, capital and increase maintenance funding. Below are the additional items being proposed to add by category.
Essential Services
Police:
· Hire personnel and purchase the required equipment & vehicles for the following positions:
o 7 Police Officers
o 2 Community Service Officers
o 2 Professional Staff
Streets:
· Annual street maintenance of $4 million increasing by .05% annually.
Fire:
· Design and Construct Station 57
· Purchase Station 57 engine
· Hire 3 of the required 9 full-time employees for Station 57 Visalia City Council Page 2 of 10 Printed on 5/1/2026

File #: 25-0781 Agenda Date: 5/4/2026 Agenda #: 2.
Parks and Recreation:

Total Expenditures 2,061,900 1,807,600 2,095,500 18,867,300 The proposed plan was established in order to be balanced, with the forecasted revenues covering expenditures. Sales Tax revenue was forecasted conservatively by growing 2.5% in the first two years and then growing 3% every year after that. Staff was conservative with ongoing expenditures but still able to add personnel and increase annual maintenance. The new fire station (Station 57) is using cash from fund balance. If revenues are higher and/or expenditures are lower then the plan, the annual budget can be amended to add one-time capital projects or increase the annual street maintenance. Staff encourage street maintenance to be high on the list to receive additional revenues as available due to streets maintenance receiving a lesser percentage increase annually than the other categories. Costs associated with street maintenance is growing due to new development and rising costs. Like the first plan, elements can be moved forward or pushed out based on needs.
The detailed sheet showing each year of the plan and when elements are added is included as Attachment A.
2026-2027 & 2027-2028 Proposed Budget
The budget includes the amended expenditure plan as shown in Table 2 - 2026/27 Proposed Measure N Plan (Year 10). The recommended budget for the 2026/27 budget is $39.6 million. This budget does not include any expenditures for the Emerging Needs category which will be brough back to Council and the Oversight Committee once a policy and/or plan has been established.

In FY 2026/27, the plan adds 1 professional staff and 2 police officers for the Police Department. The budget for these positions includes equipment and vehicles. In addition, staff is requesting three additional amendments to the plan.
The first amendment is to replace a 2021 patrol unit (212664) that was involved in a front- end collision resulting in a total loss in March 2024. The replacement cost is $109,000. Staff is requesting to appropriate $109,000. This vehicle is multi-funded with $91,500 being funded from Measure N Essential Services Fund and $17,500 from the Measure N Vehicle Replacement Fund.
Second amendment is to add an additional appropriation of $21 million for the construction of Fire Station 51. If the costs come in lower than estimated, any remaining funds will go back to fund balance. The construction contract is anticipated to be awarded in fall of 2026.
Third amendment is adding back the building maintenance project in the Maintenance and Emerging Visalia City Council Page 6 of 10 Printed on 5/1/2026
powered by Legistar™400
File #: 25-0781 Agenda Date: 5/4/2026 Agenda #: 2.
Third amendment is adding back the building maintenance project in the Maintenance and Emerging Needs Fund (8%). As outlined in the plan, the building maintenance project was funded in the first five years and was not funded in years 6-10. Staff recommends funding the building maintenance project in FY 2026/27 for $1.5 million. This project was originally established to replace and update facilities that are funded by the General Fund. Unfortunately, the 5 years of funding was not enough to cover the high costs to replace/repair roofs, replace HVACs, and repair facilities.
The recommended budget for FY 2027/28 is $19.2 million as shown in Table 3 - 2027/28 Proposed Measure N Plan (Year 11).

In FY 2027/28, the plan adds 1 professional staff and 1 police officer for the Police Department. The budget for these positions includes equipment and vehicles. All other expenditures increased based on estimated costs and growth per the proposed plan.
Measure N Sales Tax
Measure N sales tax is projected to be higher than the plan as shown in Table 4 - Measure N Sales Tax Projections. This large difference is due to several reasons: the plan being conservative, Visalia continuing to have growth in commercial and residential development, higher cost of goods which increases sales tax, and new regulations on how sales tax is collected and paid from e-commerce purchases.
The table also shows a spike in sales tax in FY 20/21 & FY 21/22 due to the multi-year COVID stimulus money that the Federal Government issued. This one-time money lead to a decrease in FY 22/23 and 23/24 which allowed the sales tax to realign. Last fiscal year, Measure N sales tax increased by 1.8% and is projected to have growth of 2.5% for FY 25/26, 26/27 and 27/28.
