DISCUSSION:
Citywide Summary
West Covina's total projected operating and capital improvement expenditures for 2021-22 are over $128 million. Revenues for all fund types combined is over $126 million and includes Property Tax, Sales Tax, Revenue from Other Agencies, Charges for Services, Licenses & Permits, Fines & Forfeitures, and Revenue from Other Agencies.
In addition, the Capital Improvement Plan budget, totaling over $17 million for FY2022-2023, is included in the number above and is primarily funded from Special Revenue Funds and grants obtained from various funding sources.
Property tax remains the City's largest revenue source
and is projected be nearly $45 million. Sales Tax, the
next largest revenue source, has been increasing
since FY 2020-21 and is projected to be over $23
million in the next fiscal year. City staff will monitor sales tax quarterly and amend the budgeted numbers,
as necessary. Overall, total revenues for FY 2022-23
are projected to decrease due to one-time grant
funding received in FY 2021-22. The City received
over $19 million from the American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery
Funds between FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22.
Total expenditures (excluding transfers) for all
budgeted funds are estimated over $128 million as

Salary and benefits are 44% of the City's total budget, as depicted in the chart below, which is up from last fiscal year but still down from FY 2020-21. This decrease is a result of the issuance of Pension
Obligation Bonds for the Unfunded Accrued Actuarial Liability (UAAL) pension payment due to the CalPERS (CalPERS) in FY 2020-21. However, it should be noted that CalPERS pension costs and the cost of health benefits provided to the City's employees continues to rise each year and must be monitored very closely as City staff continues to identify alternatives to providing these benefits to City employees.

General Fund
The General Fund provides basic services to the City (i.e. police, fire, planning, administrative services, and parks and recreation). The City's primary financial goal is to provide an appropriate level of municipal services with the ability to adapt to local and regional economic changes, while maintaining and enhancing the sound fiscal condition of the City. The City's General Fund continues to be negatively impacted b y rising pension costs, the State's elimination of redevelopment, and the loss of major local revenues due to the pandemic. Staff continue to identify revenue sources and cost-cutting measures to offset these negative impacts.
The City's budget policy requires that the City's General Fund maintain an undesignated, unappropriated reserve amount equal to at least 17% of budgeted expenditures or approximately $10.8 million. The fund balance at fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 is projected to be over $24 million which is approximately 31 % of General Fund expenditures and transfers. Of this, over $3 million is assigned which leaves approximately $21 million in assigned fund balance. At the close of each Fiscal Year, any revenues over expenditures are generally transferred to fund balance reserved to be used for one-time capital expenditures or the reduction of General Fund debt service requirements. Below is a chart showing changes to Fund Balance over the past five years.

General Fund Revenues
This budget assumes continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in revenues to pre -pandemic levels. Total General Fund revenues are projected to be over $79 million, 17.8% increase from the FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget. This is largely due to an increase in Property Tax Revenue over $782,000 and an increase in Sales Tax Revenue over $7.2 million from last year's original budget. However, when compared to current year estimates, it is a conservative increase of 1.2% in Property Tax and 1.5% in Sales Tax. Other revenue has been adjusted based on prior year actuals.

General Fund Expenditures
General Fund Expenditures for FY 2022-23 are projected to be nearly $64 million. This is an $9.8 million increase from the current fiscal year's original budget, however, a decrease of nearly $6 million from the prior fiscal year. This decrease is mainly due to the decrease in the UAL payment to the CalPERS as a result of the pension obligation bonds issued in 2020.
Most General Fund expenditures go towards Salaries (41 %) and Benefits (23%). Over the past year the City executed memorandum of understandings with eight out of nine of its bargaining groups. These agreements included salary increases ranging from three to four percent per group and are offset by employee contributions towards pension ranging from 1.5% to 6%. A significant increase in salaries and benefits is primarily due to an increase in overtime salaries.
Expenditures overall were analyzed and projected to reflect the actual expense incurred based on the current year estimate and prior years.

Overtime continues to be an increasing burden on the city. The FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget has been based on prior years actuals with an estimated 3$ increase in line with base salary increases. While estimated to be slightly more than the current year estimate of $6.1 million, General Fund Overtime is proposed to be approximately $6.4 million. The majority of this overtime is from Fire (50.4%) and Police (48.7%).

Fiscal Challenges
Short -Term Factors
As a result of the State and County stay-at-home orders during the pandemic, the City experienced a decline in economic activity, which impacted the City's revenues. City staff estimated a potential loss of $2.8 million in General Fund revenues for FY 2019-20 and a continuing loss of $2.1 million in General Fund revenues in FY 2020-21.
In addition to the economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, over the past 6-years, the City's
General Fund reserves had continued to decline — in FY 2014-15, the unassigned fund balance was $20.5 million, in FY 2015-16, the unassigned fund balance was $15 million, in FY 2016-17, the unassigned fund balance was $14.1 million, in FY 2017-18, the unassigned fund balance was $11.9 million, and in FY 2018-19, the unassigned fund balance was down to $9.8 million. During FY 2019-20, despite the COVID-19 world-wide pandemic, the unassigned fund balance increased by $2.6 million to $12.5 million. The General Fund unassigned fund balance at June 30, 2021 was over $21.4 million. Through sound financial policies and procedures, the City managed rising costs and dwindling revenues efficiently and effectively. This has resulted in the growth in the unassigned general fund balance.
This is not to say that significant challenges do not face the City going forward. Rising costs of materials and services continue to be of grave concern. Infrastructure needs of the City have been deferred and City buildings are in disrepair. Additionally, a Labor contract for the last remaining bargaining group is expiring in June 2022 and is in the process of being renegotiated.
Three specific challenges affect the City's annual budget:
1. Resident Engagement — Through civic engagement, resident and community partners define what services are valued. The result is a budget that better reflects local priorities.
Inclusive, open, and collaborative budget processes and community declaration of principles help the municipal organization better provide essential services.
2. Accountability Through Oversight — Continued improvement of the City's long-term financial health requires ongoing close attention to timely implementation of the State Auditor's Financial Recovery Plan. Institutionalizing accountability in the recover process enhances public trust in municipal governance.
3. Fiscal Prudence — Capital needs remain underfunded. Clearly, municipal facilities are not to standard. Maintenance of buildings, streets, and parks has been deferred and as a result services have suffered. Typically, assets operate until they break down. For example, Fire Station No. 1, has been determined uninhabitable forcing the City to set-up temporary quarters. The city has received some one-time funding to address critical immediate needs; however, additional funding sources need to be identified to address future issues.
Long -Term Factors
The FY 2022-2023 Proposed Budget is structurally balanced; however, expenditures are increasing at a faster pace than revenues. The City has attempted to attain fiscal sustainability into the future by finding economies and efficiencies in its operations. Like most California cities, West Covina has several unfunded liabilities. The biggest of these being the cost of employee pensions.
The pension obligations and payments for the UAAL is expected to worsen each fiscal year and the severity of the problem is dependent on Cal PERS earnings. This fact prompted the City to issue Pension Obligation Bonds in July of 2020 to address the UAAL and attain more favorable interest rates to address the pension problem.
The City's Long -Range Financial Forecast was updated in March 2022 and projected General Fund budget deficits for each year in the forecast. Additionally, General Fund reserves were anticipated to be depleted to ten percent or $8 million by fiscal year ending 2027. The forecast recommended structural changes to increase revenues and/or decrease expenditures in future years. Thus, this year's budget incorporated the following changes that will have a long-term positive impact on the City's General Fund:
. Formally reduced Non -Sworn personnel in Police. The Police Department had three Community Service Officers, two Dispatchers, and three Records Specialists that have been frozen the past two fiscal years. The Long -Range Financial Forecast assumed these positions were funded, however; the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget does not include these positions or salaries.
. The False Alarm program and associated revenue was eliminated in prior years. The FY
2022-23 Proposed Budget assumes re -initiation of the program and associated revenue. . Overall, historical revenues and expenditures were evaluated, and the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget was adjusted to prior year actuals. While this included both increases and decreases, the overall net impact to the General Fund was positive. . Revenue estimates included in the forecast were also updated based on current year actual trends. At the time of the Long -Range Financial Forecast, it was uncertain whether the effects of the pandemic would subside. Since then, it is apparent that the City's Sales Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, and Permit revenue will continue to remain level with the current and prior year. Thus, revenue bases have been raised and are projected to increase conservatively with the assumptions used in the forecast. While sales tax appears to be on the upswing from the kickstart of reopening from the pandemic, it can easily turn downward.
It is uncertain if the current trend is just a post -pandemic spike that will bottom out to prior year levels. Therefore, it is not recommended to commit this revenue to recurring obligations.
City Council Goals
The budget contains City Council goals for 2022 to guide the City. These goals will be instrumental in guiding the budget process. These overarching goals can be seen throughout the budget document as follows:
Service Levels
The citizens of West Covina continue to expect a high level of service provided by the City. These services are paid for with local tax dollars and include police; recreation and community service programs for youth, adults, and seniors; park maintenance; street maintenance; transportation; engineering; building & safety; housing programs; planning & development; code enforcement; animal control; and environmental programs and services. Services levels are proposed to be enhanced by adding funding for the following:
. Recreation and community service programs back to pre -pandemic levels. . Special Events, such as, Spring Festival, 4th of July, Egg Hunt, Summer Concerts, Christmas Parade, and Halloween.
. Quarterly Discover newsletter to inform and engage residents. . An additional twelve Public Services positions have been included under the City's maintenance funds to provide the highest level of service, while maintaining fiscal responsibility and improving community image. These positions did not impact the General Fund. . Increase in the tree trim cycle from seven to five years to reduce the need for emergency maintenance, prevent liability problems, reduce tree mortality, and improve urban forest health over the long-term.
. In Police, a Forensic Specialist Supervisor position has been added to allow the Department to properly manage and keep up with the changing demands of forensic investigations.
Conclusion
Service levels are directly related to income from which public expenses are met. Finding economies in municipal operations including privatization and reductions in the workforce, the City has made some progress toward the goal to attain fiscal sustainability and positioned the City for long-term financial success. As the City recovers financially from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is with conservative optimism
that this budget is presented.

April 19, 2022
Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Citizens of West Covina:
I am pleased to present the Proposed Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget for the City of West Covina and the Successor Agency to the Former Redevelopment Agency of the City of West Covina. The Budget provides the framework for providing services and programs to the community of West Covina. The services and programs included in the budget represent the delivery of core services and priorities. The budget document includes the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Fund, and Enterprise Funds as well as both Operating and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budgets.
These last two years have brought many challenges. The City is starting to experience economic recovery from the global pandemic and expects revenue and expenditures to reach and surpass pre -pandemic levels. The proposed budget demonstrates a financial plan for the next twelve months. This budget is a new opportunity for the city to address the greatest challenges facing our community— for the year ahead and future generations. The budget has been conservatively designed to continue to adequately fund the City's reserves. This is not only a spending plan for the year, but also a solid foundation for the City's future legacy — a fiscally responsible plan to keep the community safe, prosperous & vibrant. The municipal organization continues its primary focus on the public safety needs of the community, meeting infrastructure & regulatory requirements and providing excellent service for the residents.
West Covina's total projected operating and capital im
million. Revenues for all fund types combinedis over
$126 million and includes Property Tax, Sales Tax,
Revenue from Other Agencies, Charges for Services,
Licenses & Permits, Fines & Forfeitures, and Revenue
from Other Agencies.
In addition, the Capital Improvement Plan budget,
totaling over $17 million for FY2022-2023, is included
in the number above and is primarily funded from
Special Revenue Funds and grants obtained from
various funding sources.
Property tax remains the City's largest revenue

City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
increasing since FY 2020-21 and is projected to be over $23 million in the next fiscal year. City staff will monitor sales tax quarterly and amend the budgeted numbers, as necessary. Overall, total revenues for FY 2022-23 are projected to decrease due to one-time grant funding received in FY 2021-22. The City received over $19 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds between FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22.
Total expenditures (excluding transfers) for all budgeted funds are estimated over $128 million as shown in the chart below. Many funds make up the total budgeted amount, with the largest being the General Fund in the amount nearly $64 million, or 50% of the City's budget.
Salary and benefits are 44% of the City's total budget, as depicted in the chart below, which is up from last fiscal year but still down from FY 2020-21. This decrease is due to the issuance of Pension Obligation Bonds for the Unfunded Accrued Actuarial Liability (UAAL) pension payment due to the CaIPERS (CaIPERS) in FY 2020-21. However, it should be noted that CaIPERS pension costs and the cost of health benefits provided to the City's employees continues to rise each year and must be monitored very closely as City staff continues to identify alternatives to providing these benefits to City employees.

The General Fund provides basic services to the City (i.e. police, fire, planning, administrative services, and parks and recreation). The City's primary financial goal is to provide an appropriate level of municipal services with the ability to adapt to local and regional economic changes, while maintaining and enhancing the sound fiscal condition of the City. The City's General Fund continues to be negatively impacted by rising pension costs, the State's elimination of redevelopment, and the loss of major local revenues due to the pandemic. Staff continue to identify revenue sources and cost cutting measures to offset these negative impacts.
The City's budget policy requires that the City's General Fund maintain an undesignated, unappropriated reserve amount equal to at least 17% of budgeted expenditures or approximately $10.8 million. The fund balance at fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 is projected to be over $24 million which is approximately 31% of General Fund expenditures and transfers. Of this, over $3 million is assigned which leaves
A

approximately $21 million in assigned fund balance. At the close of each Fiscal Year, any revenues over expenditures are generally transferred to fund balance reserved to be used for one-time capital expenditures or the reduction of General Fund debt service requirements.

This budget assumes continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in revenues to pre -pandemic levels. Total General Fund revenues are projected to be over $79 million, 17.8 percent increase from the FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget. This is largely due to an increase in Property Tax Revenue over $782,000 and an increase in Sales Tax Revenue over $7.2 million from last year's original budget.
However, when compared to current year estimates, it is a conservative increase of 1.2 percent in Property Tax and 1.5 percent in Sales Tax. Other revenue has been adjusted based on prior year actuals.

General Fund Expenditures
General Fund Expenditures for fiscal year 2022-23 are projected to be nearly $64 million. This is an $9.8 million increase from the current fiscal year's original budget, however, a decrease of nearly $6 million from the prior fiscal year. This decrease is mainly due to the decrease in the UAL payment to the CalPERS as a result of the pension obligation bonds issued in 2020.
Most General Fund expenditures go towards Salaries (41%) and Benefits (23%). Over the past year the City executed memorandum of understandings with eight out of nine of its bargaining groups. These agreements included salary increases ranging from three to four percent per group and are offset by employee contributions towards pension ranging from one and half to six percent. A significant increase in salaries and benefits is primarily due to an increase in overtime salaries.
Expenditures overall were analyzed and projected to reflect the actual expense incurred based on the current year estimate and prior years.

Overtime continues to be an increasing burden on the city. The FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget has been based on prior years actuals with an estimated three percent increase in line with base salary increases.
While estimated to be slightly more than the current year estimate of $6.1 million, General Fund Overtime is proposed to be approximately $6.4 million. The majority of this overtime is from Fire (50.4%) and Police (48.7%).

Short -Term Factors
As a result of the State and County stay-at-home orders during the pandemic, the City experienced a decline in economic activity, which impacted the City's revenues. City staff estimated a potential loss of $2.8 million in General Fund revenues for Fiscal Year FY 2019-20 and a continuing loss of $2.1 million in General Fund revenues in FY 2020-21.
In addition to the economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, over the past six years, the City's General Fund reserves had continued to decline — in FY 2014-15, the unassigned fund balance was $20.5 million, in FY 2015-16, the unassigned fund balance was $15 million, in FY 2016-17, the unassigned fund balance was $14.1 million, in FY 2017-18, the unassigned fund balance was $11.9 million, and in FY 2018- 19, the unassigned fund balance was down to $9.8 million. During FY 2019-20, despite the COVID-19 world-wide pandemic, the unassigned fund balance increased by $2.6 million to $12.5 million. The General Fund unassigned fund balance at June 30, 2021 was over $21.4 million. Through sound financial policies and procedures, the City managed rising costs and dwindling revenues efficiently and effectively.
This has resulted in the growth in the unassigned general fund balance. wssi cm�u Page 11
City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
This is not to say that significant challenges do not face the City going forward. Rising costs of materials and services continue to be of grave concern. Infrastructure needs of the City have been deferred and City buildings are in disrepair. Additionally, a Labor contract for the last remaining bargaining group is expiring in June 2022 and is in the process of being renegotiated.
Three specific challenges affect the City's annual budget:
1. Resident Engagement —Through civic engagement, resident and community partners define what services are valued. The result is a budget that better reflects local priorities. Inclusive, open, and collaborative budget processes and community declaration of principles help the municipal organization better provide essential services.
2. Accountability Through Oversight — Continued improvement of the City's long-term financial health requires ongoing close attention to timely implementation of the State Auditor's Financial Recovery Plan. Institutionalizing accountability in the recover process enhances public trust in municipal governance.
3. Fiscal Prudence — Capital needs remain underfunded. Clearly, municipal facilities are not to standard. Maintenance of buildings, streets, and parks has been deferred and as a result services have suffered. Typically, assets operate until they break down. For example, Fire Station No. 1, has been determined uninhabitable forcing the City to setup up temporary quarters. The city has received some one-time funding to address critical immediate needs; however, additional funding sources need to be identified to address future issues.
Long -Term Factors
The FY2022-2023 Proposed Budget is structurally balanced; however, expenditures are increasing at a faster pace than revenues. The City has attempted to attain fiscal sustainability into the future by finding economies and efficiencies in its operations. Like most California cities, West Covina has several unfunded liabilities. The biggest of these being the cost of employee pensions. The pension obligations and payments for the UAAL is expected to worsen each fiscal year and the severity of the problem is dependent on CaIPERS earnings. This fact prompted the City to issue Pension Obligation Bonds in July of 2020 to address the UAAL and attain more favorable interest rates to address the pension problem.
The City's Long -Range Financial Forecast was updated in March 2022 and projected General Fund budget deficits for each year in the forecast. Additionally, General Fund reserves were anticipated to be depleted to ten percent or $8 million by fiscal year ending 2027. The forecast recommended structural changes to increase revenues and/or decrease expenditures in future years. Thus, this year's budget incorporated the following changes that will have a long-term positive impact on the City's General Fund:
■ Formally reduced Non -Sworn personnel in Police. The Police Department had three Community Service Officers, two Dispatchers, and three Records Specialists that have been frozen the past two fiscal years. The Long -Range Financial Forecast assumed these positions were funded, however; the FY2022-23 Proposed Budget does not include these positions or salaries. ■ The False Alarm program and associated revenue was eliminated in prior years. The FY2022-23 Proposed Budget assumes re -initiation of the program and associated revenue.
wui miss,
City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
■ Overall, historical revenues and expenditures were evaluated, and the FY2022-23 Proposed Budget was adjusted to prior year actuals. While this included both increases and decreases, the overall net impact to the General Fund was positive.
• Revenue estimates included in the forecast were also updated based on current year actual trends.
At the time of the Long -Range Financial Forecast, it was uncertain whether the effects of the pandemic would subside. Since then, it is apparent that the City's Sales Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, and Permit revenue will continue to remain level with the current and prior year. Thus, revenue bases have been raised and are projected to increase conservatively with the assumptions used in the forecast. While sales tax appears to be on the upswing from the kickstart of reopening from the pandemic, it can easily turn downward. It is uncertain if the current trend is just a post - pandemic spike that will bottom out to prior year levels. Therefore, it is not recommended to commit this revenue to recurring obligations.
City Council Goals
The budget contains City Council goals for 2022 to guide the City. These goals will be instrumental in guiding the budget process. These overarching goals can be seen throughout the budget document as follows:
More information regarding these goals may be found later in this document.
Service Levels
The citizens of West Covina continue to expect a high level of service provided by the City. These services are paid for with local tax dollars and include police; recreation and community service programs for youth, adults, and seniors; park maintenance; street maintenance; transportation; engineering; building & safety; housing programs; planning & development; code enforcement; animal control; and environmental programs and services. Services levels are proposed to be enhanced by adding funding for the following:
• Recreation and community service programs back to pre -pandemic levels. • Special Events, such as, Spring Festival, 4th of July, Egg Hunt, Summer Concerts, Christmas Parade, and Halloween.
PfSI (NI9 Page 13
City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
• Quarterly newsletter to inform and engage residents.
• An additional twelve Public Services positions have been included under the City's maintenance funds to provide the highest level of service, while maintaining fiscal responsibility and improving community image. These positions did not impact the General Fund.
■ Increase in the tree trim cycle from seven to five years to reduce the need for emergency maintenance, prevent liability problems, reduce tree mortality, and improve urban forest health over the long-term.
■ In Police, a Forensic Specialist Supervisor position has been added to allow the Department to properly manage and keep up with the changing demands of forensic investigations.
Conclusion
Service levels are directly related to income from which public expenses are met. Finding economies in municipal operations including privatization and reductions in the workforce, the City has made some progress toward the goal to attain fiscal sustainability and positioned the City for long-term financial success. As the City recovers financially from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is with conservative optimism that this budget is presented.
Acknowledgement
The preparation of this budget could not have been accomplished without the efficient and dedicated services of the Finance Director who has created a solid foundation upon which the City may operate efficiently and the entire staff of the Finance Department. I would like to express my appreciation to all members of other Departments who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. These are extremely challenging times for local government in which many difficult decisions must be made. Credit must also be given to the City Council for their interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a responsible and progressive manner.
Respectfully submitted,
David N. Carmany

Budget Guide
The Budget sets forth a strategic resource allocation plan and serves as 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; and, • 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 Budget document is comprised of both the Annual Operating Budget and the Capital Improvement 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 projects that are in need of renovation, repair and/or construction. Capital projects range from road maintenance or construction to the renovation of municipal buildings, recreation centers, 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 financing 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.
The City of West Covina's fiscal year begins each July 1st and concludes on June 30th. The development of the annual budget is comprised of distinct phases and requires a great deal of effort on the part of the City Council and all members of the City's management team. The budget process starts with goals which Council formally established in January.
Following that, the long-range financial plan is updated and a community survey seeking input on the budget is solicited. While these are going on, staff is working on development of the budget which is initially presented to Council for feedback.

Budget Guide
Internally, a budget kick-off meeting is held in January and is attended by the City Manager, Finance staff, and all Department Heads and their budget staff. The City Manager briefs the participants on policy directives and general budgeting guidelines, followed by the Finance staff with a discussion on the technical and procedural aspects of preparing the budget. Departments have approximately two months to prepare their line -item budgets.
Once the initial line -item requests are compiled, Finance staff works with the City Manager and departments to review the requests and gain a high-level understanding of the challenges facing the City and specific departments, including gaps between revenues and expenditures, fund balance projections, and department priorities.
Budget review meetings are then held with each department to discuss the proposed budgets, including increases, reductions, or other significant changes, goals and objectives, and supplemental requests.
Actions available for addressing budget gaps are discussed, along with the merits of the various work program components. Departments
are then given the opportunity to RIMUIRLSIMM
amend their proposed line -item
budgets and to address issues or '
concerns discussed in the budget
review meetings.
Once the City Manager and
department reviews have taken
place and all departmental budget
issues are resolved, the Finance staff
prepares the preliminary budget.
The Finance Director presents the
Proposed Operating and Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) Budget
to the City Council and the I
Community at a City Council meeting . • in late May or early June. Specific policy issues, funding shortfalls, and major challenges are discussed, and recommended changes are then incorporated into the budget. Meetings are held, as needed, to ensure that the budget accurately reflects the City Council's objectives for the coming year until the final budget is adopted by the City Council.
Community workshops regarding the proposed budget are then scheduled to provide public feedback.
After updating Council regarding public input and a seeking final review, the budget is adopted. The Appropriations Limit is considered at the same time and requires its documentation to be publicly available at least fifteen days prior to the meeting.
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. Although the City has made every effort to make the document as easy to navigate as possible, budgets are complex documents that can be difficult to grasp at first hand.
This section provides the reader with some basic understanding of the constituent components of a budget document.

This section includes a copy of the approved Appropriations Limit Calculation Fiscal Year and corresponding Resolution. Article XIIIB of the California Constitution imposes an appropriations limit on units of state and local governments. In response to a perception that government spending was increasing without any controls, the voters passed Proposition 4, "The Gann Initiative," which is now included in the California Constitution as Article XIIIB. This article limits the amount of appropriations (related to tax proceeds) that state or local governments can establish each year.

Financial Policies
Budgetary control is exercised by (1) the annual budget adoption by the City Council (2) formal budgetary integration within the accounting system (3) quarterly financial reports presented to the City Council (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 expenditure appropriations 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 for any requested purchase order (PO) carryovers.
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 an annual balanced 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.
Budget Amendment Procedures
The City's operating budget may be amended by three methods: 1) purchase order carryovers, 2) administrative carryovers approved by the City Manager, and 3) City Council action. Under all methods where appropriations are increased, funds must be available to match the request.
Administrative Carryovers
At the end of each fiscal year, the Finance department requests that each department review its budget for items or programs for which any planned expenditure is pending. This may include a project, which has been initiated, or an item ordered but not received.
The Finance Director determines the merit of any requests and ensures that adequate funding is available.
Recommendations are then presented to the City Manager, who in turn, determines which requests will be approved. Approved carryover requests increase the department's budget appropriation in the new fiscal year.
City Council Action
Throughout the year, the City Council considers departmental requests for additional appropriations to fund activities not included in the original Adopted Budget.
CIP Carryovers
Every year, staff reviews each capital project and carries forward prior year appropriations for projects that have not been completed or for which long-term funding is being accumulated. The carryovers are handled administratively and are not included as part of the current year CIP Budget. Projects funded in prior years, but not started, are reviewed to determine whether such projects continue to be City Council wssi cmiu Page 21
City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
Financial Policies
priorities. The budget for any project that has not been started and is no longer a City Council priority is made available for other projects.
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 the liquidation or sale of investments.
Cash accounts of all funds are pooled for investment purposes to enhance safety and liquidity while maximizing interest earnings. Interest revenue earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds based on each fund's average monthly cash and investment balance.
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, to fund unforeseen expenditure requirements, to provide a minimum level of cash investment interest revenue, and to avoid the need to borrow for cash management purposes. The General Fund Reserve is currently slightly above the reserve policy limit of 17% of operating expenditures.
Capital assets (including infrastructure) greater than $5,000 are capitalized and recorded at cost or at the estimated fair value of the assets 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 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 and sidewalks, medians, sewers, and storm drains.
The adoption of the appropriation limit occurs annually to comply with the California Constitution, Article XIIIB (as amended) and Government Code Section 7910. The Gann Limit restricts annual expenditures the City may appropriate. If certain proceeds of taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the State Controller or refunded to the taxpayers. The City's tax proceeds are projected to be less than the established appropriation limit.
A
City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
Financial Structure
The City provides a full range of services to its citizens. These include police, fire, emergency medical, street construction and maintenance, traffic signalization, parks, recreational, cultural and social, planning, building and safety, economic development, environmental, and general administrative services.
Services are categorized into a departmental structure to afford similarity in services provided.
Departments may receive funding from one or more funds. Through the budget process and ongoing activity, the City Council oversees the operation of the City, and sets forth community priorities and policies to be implemented by the City Manager. The City Manager directs the Department Heads in the administration of City programs and service delivery. The City Manager establishes administrative policies in areas under his purview.
To monitor and evaluate departmental effectiveness, a project -performance program is utilized. Under this program, each department sets forth projects and programs to be undertaken during the fiscal year.
Projects and programs may be one-time (with a specific completion date) or ongoing programs. A listing of each department's projects and programs is submitted at the beginning of the fiscal year as an overview of the department's work program. This information is compiled in • �♦ the budget document and provides a detailed overview of the City's work program for the fiscal year.
The more significant departmental projects and programs provide the basis for the departmental goals and objectives, and workload indicators included in the departmental budgets.
Departmental work programs are updated periodically. Completed projects, completion dates, new projects undertaken, as well as specific actions completed in providing ongoing programs, are established and reviewed. This process provides an ongoing measure of departmental activity and effectiveness in meeting the City Council's priorities.
The City's accounting system is organized and operated on a "fund basis" under which each fund is a distinct self -balancing accounting entity. A fund is "an independent fiscal and accounting entity used to record all financial transactions related to the specific purpose for which the fund was created". Funds are established for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, legal restrictions, or limitations on the revenue source.
The City's annual operating budget is prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and provides for the general operation of the City. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for governmental fund types and the accrual basis of accounting is used for proprietary fund types. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments to assure adequate and proper standards of service. Budgetary revisions, which increase the combined appropriations in individual funds, must be approved by the City Council. The budgetary level of control is at the departmental level.

MI kv
Each year, the City Council adopts a Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which identifies all of the major projects to be undertaken to improve facilities and infrastructure within the city. During the fiscal year, a separate CIP document that reflects the current year program and proposes a program of prioritized projects for the next five years is prepared.
Department Heads submit all proposed projects for their department in the foreseeable future, along with their best cost -estimate. The request includes the year a project will commence, any funding sources that may be available with either future sources or ones which might have been previously designated, justification for the project, and on -going costs expected to occur after the project has been completed.
The CIP budget team then compiles the information and presents a draft CIP program to the City Council.

City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
City Profile
The City of West Covina was incorporated in 1923 to prevent the City of Covina from establishing a sewage farm within the current city boundaries. The 507 residents of the area were mostly citizens who banded together to maintain local control of their land and were more interested in preventing the establishment of a sewage facility than in creating a city.
Walnut groves and orange groves continued to flourish during the following decades. The population in 1930 was 769 and blossomed to 1,549 in 1940. As a result of remarkable expansion during the post World War II building boom, West Covina became America's fastest growing city between 1950 and 1960, with the population increasing 1,000 percent from less than 5,000 to more than 50,000 citizens. The last two decades have continued to demonstrate steady growth. The number of residents expanded to a total of 96,242 as of the 1990 Census.

It also included the revitalization of the older sections of the shopping center. The Fashion Plaza has provided the citizens of the San Gabriel Valley with convenient access to all shopping Plaza West Covina needs. In 1991 the mall was renovated adding a food court and additional Opened shops, as well as the redecorating of the entire mall. The mall was renamed ' "The Plaza at West Covina." The Plaza opened a new 100,000 square foot wing in October 1993 featuring 50 new stores including a new Robinson's-May and interior renovation throughout The Plaza.
The Redevelopment Agency's efforts have also resulted in several major office buildings in the City, such as "The Lakes," in addition to two new community shopping centers, freestanding retail developments, restaurants, residential projects, and the Auto Plaza. West Covina looks forward to additional residential and commercial development during the coming decade as it continues to serve as one of the most progressive cities in the San Gabriel Valley.

Fund Balance
The term "Fund Balance" is used to describe the difference between assets (what is owned) and liabilities (what is owed) reported within a fund. The City has five components to its fund balance:
Inherently
nonspendable
Restricted Committed
Self-imposed
limitations on
use
Limitation
resulting from
intended use
Residual net
resources
The City's Fund Balance policy requires a minimum unassigned fund balance of at least 17% of General Fund operating expenditures. At the end of the fiscal year, the annual excess revenue over expenditures in theGeneral Fund is allocated as follows: 25% stays in General Fund reserves, 50% is transferred to the Capital Projects Fund, and 25% goes to pay down Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability. If the reserve level ever falls below 17%, the City must amend this policy with a plan to rebuild it within three years.

Mission Statement
To provide the highest level of service and protection to the community and to cooperatively enhance public safety as the department progresses into the future.
About
The Police Department has a proud history of integrity and service. The Police Department has an authorized full-time workforce of 102 sworn officers and 49 civilians (including 17 Dispatchers who handle calls for both Police and Fire). There are also numerous part-time positions including reserve officers and other support staff. The department also utilizes volunteer programs, which are a very important part of the overall public safety effort.
Although focused on front-line law enforcement, the department is also engaged in important community partnerships with schools, businesses, and citizen organizations. The department has garnered outside awards honoring many sworn officers, our West Covina Police Volunteers program, domestic violence victim advocate, and K9 Officers.
The staff of the West Covina Police Department strive to provide the highest level of service, focusing on four core values: Community responsiveness; integrity; teamwork; and effort. To that end, the department is divided into the following divisions: Patrol, Administrative & Investigative, and Administration.
Patrol Division
Two-thirds of all sworn officers' work in the Patrol division, which focuses on patrolling city streets, responding to calls for service, and identifying potential crime problems. In addition to Q patrol officers, this division includes reserve officers and the West Covina Police Q Volunteers who perform non -hazardous duties. Under the Community Service Area Q Policing program, four dedicated lieutenants and their crews are assigned a specific quadrant of the city and tasked with resolving public safety concerns for residents, neighborhoods, and businesses. Collateral duties for sworn personnel in the Patrol Division include jail management, arrest and control, force options, special problems detail, peer support, SWAT, Reserve Program oversight, public information officer duties, field training officer program, and hostage negotiations. This division also incorporates two subdivisions:
Traffic Unit
This unit provides enforcement of traffic laws, targeted enforcement at schools and other sites, traffic investigations, parking enforcement, oversight of the crossing guard services contract, and fleet services.
Jail Operations
This unit processes all arrests, oversees all prisoners, coordinates all jail operations, and maintains compliance with State mandates specific to jail operations.

Administrative & Investigative Division
This division is responsible for providing investigation and follow-up services associated with major crimes, answering calls from the public, and overseeing the centralized administrative functions of the Police Department. Collateral duties for sworn personnel in the Administrative & Investigative Division include property room and evidence, manual update committee, honor guard, Explorer program, terrorism liaison office, and the firing range.
Investigations and Support Services
For almost any crime victim to obtain justice in our courts (i.e., for a suspect to be convicted), detectives conduct intensive follow-up and prepare cases for the district attorney. Investigative assignments include homicide, robbery, sex crimes, assault and battery, weapons violations, missing persons, fraud and identity theft, automobile theft, burglary, and court liaison. Certain officers are involved in specialized interagency task forces, and the department's domestic violence victim advocate (partially funded from CDBG grant funds) and a law enforcement -specific Code Enforcement position are assigned here.
Investigations incorporates one subdivision:
Special Enforcement Team (SET)
This team works irregular schedules dictated by the demands of their specialized investigations, which include narcotics, surveillance, interagency intelligence, and other targeted enforcement.
Administration
Focusing on the centralized administrative division functions of the Police Department, Administration includes the Records Division, Dispatch Operations, Personnel & Training, and the Property & Evidence unit. Administration incorporates two subdivisions:
Communications
This division handles all emergency dispatch operations for both Police and Fire.
West Covina Service Group (WCSG)

Accomplishments
• West Covina police officers work extraordinarily efficiently and effectively. They handle about 200 incidents per day. The department continued its focus on front-line law enforcement and crime prevention activities to improve public safety.
• The Department implemented technology improvements to increase efficiency and improve the delivery of safety services to the community. The Department deployed electronic citation writer devices, electronic collision reporting, implemented an automated license plate reader (ALPR) camera system, secured grant funds for a software system to automate the submission of collision data to the State, and for a body -worn camera system. Additionally, about $3 million in federal Coronavirus Recovery funds were used to purchase new radios for the Police and Fire Departments. • Parts of the Department were restructured, adapting and improving the organization of work.
Positions created were Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAO) Detective, a civilian Records Manager, and a civilian Forensics Manager.
■ The Department demonstrated its ongoing commitment to transparency and community engagement. The Department published an Annual Review report with detailed information on many WCPD functions, services, and accomplishments. WCPD's social media pages kept residents informed about events, crime information, and police operations. • The Department continued recruitment and hiring efforts. In FY 2021-22, the City Council authorized the addition of 10 Police Officer positions, to help address staffing and service needs. In the past year, the department conducted many recruitments and filed 32 positions. ■ Two dedicated HOPE (Homeless Outreach & Park Enforcement) Officers focused on safety at City parks and addressing homeless issues. Working in cooperation with regional homeless services providers, WCPD's HOPE Officers made 1,497 individual contacts, cleared/removed 230 encampment sites, and successfully connected 514 individuals with homeless related services. Additionally, HOPE Officers issued 34 citations and made 75 arrests for crimes committed. • The Department continued its excellent record of using special funds to improve public safety and police operations. Items funded last year included a School Resource Officer (SRO) position to focus on tobacco prevention at middle schools, vehicles and vehicle mounted equipment, an automated collision data submittal system, a body -worn camera system, and more. These specially funded items totaled about $4 million, all without burdening the City General Fund or local taxpayers.

�%% Page 101
City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
General Fund
Fire Administration
Provides organizational leadership, management, and support for the overall operations and business functions of the Fire Department. Major activities include administration, budget, business services, contracts, community outreach, customer service, data analysis, fees, personnel recruitment, policies and procedures, procurement, programmatic support, records management, reports, special projects, strategic planning, and representing the interests of the Fire Department with internal and external stakeholders.
Fire Prevention Bureau
• The Fire Chief currently serves in a dual role as the Fire Chief and Fire Marshal. If ■ Tasked with administering the California Fire Code, California Code of Regulations Titles 19 and 24, and nationally recognized standards and practices. These relate to compliance with fire and life safety requirements set by local, state, and federal governments and apply to both new and existing occupancies.
• Inspects buildings and facilities and issues operational permits and construction permits per the California Fire Code.
• Inspects state mandated facilities to ensure compliance with the California Health and Safety Code. ■ Ensures the fire, life, and environmental safety of the community by reviewing architectural and fire protection plans forfire safety and related technical issues. Fire Prevention Bureau contracts with two consultants to review building plans to ensure proposed designs meet current fire codes. Applicable costs related to working with the consultants are recovered by fees designed for full cost recovery. ■ Coordinates with the City's Building, Planning, and Community and Economic Development divisions to ensure all planned developments comply with the California Fire Code.
Operations
• Provides a professionally trained emergency force for fire, medical, rescue, hazardous materials, and all -hazard response, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. • Emergency response to 9-1-1 calls is provided from five fire stations that are strategically located to ensure timely emergency responses. At each of the five fire stations, the Fire Department has strategically placed either a paramedic assessment engine company or paramedic assessment quint capable truck company. In addition to these resources, three paramedic rescue ambulances are available at Fire Station No. 1, Fire Station No. 2, and Fire Station No. 4. The on -duty Assistant Fire Chief and the Command Vehicle that oversees and manages the day-to-day operations and resources for all five fire stations is located at Fire Station No. 2. This configuration provides a daily effective response force of 23 sworn personnel and a uniform level of life safety protection for fire and emergency medical calls to meet the rapidly increasing call volumes the City has been experiencing over several years.
■ Firefighters utilize aggressive interior -attack firefighting techniques to control fires quickly and increase the life safety of trapped occupants. Using a deployment of firefighting resources, the community experiences a relatively low annual fire loss.

City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
General Fund
■ Approximately 69 percent of the Fire Department's activity is directed towards emergency medical services (EMS). The Fire Department delivers extremely high- level advanced life support medical treatment. EMS quality assurance is ensured through periodic quality control audits. The Fire Department contracts with UCLA for a Nurse Educator to provide continuing education training to all Emergency Medical Technicians and paramedic personnel. City paramedics are trained to the highest standards and are participating in several new cutting -edge life-saving skills that the Los Angeles County EMS Agency has implemented.
• In addition to medical emergencies and fires, the Fire Department responds to additional 9-1-1 calls for service including but not limited to infants locked in vehicles, chemical and product spills, inadvertent fire alarm activations, assistance to the Police Department, animal rescues, good intent calls, and responses to assist in adjacent communities through Automatic and Mutual Aid agreements.
Emergency Planning
• Fiscal challenges have reduced the dedication of resources for emergency planning.
This program is now an ancillary function of the Fire Department, worked on an as needed basis or when required.
■ All firefighters receive specialized first -responder training for the response to natural 00 disasters and terrorism incidents.
■ Ensure City personnel can provide appropriate rescue and relief services following a major disaster such as earthquake, flood, nuclear power accident, hazardous material spill, and wildland fire including the operation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as a cohesive unit if required, in case a large-scale disaster were to affect the City of West Covina and its citizens.
Training
■ Recruit Training - Newly hired firefighters attend a training academy to ensure they are trained to the highest level, and that their training and abilities are adequate to be assigned to an engine and/or paramedic company and work seamlessly with the veteran firefighters. After recruits complete their initial training, they are placed on a 1-year probationary period in which they are continually trained and tested to build on their initial training.
■ Department Training- Frequent quality training allows the firefighters to remain prepared to respond to various emergencies. Department members receive all mandated training through in-house manipulative and classroom drills, formalized workshops and seminars, and train -the -trainer academies. Firefighters pride themselves on building realistic props for training and conducting pre - fire planning on City buildings and target hazards. Annual training covers all aspects of the firefighter's job to ensure each member maintains a constant, high level of readiness to respond to any potential emergency situation.
• Monitoring of all department member's California Department of Motor Vehicle requirements and records, annual training mandates, and educational mandate. wsn cmiu Page 103

Code Enforcement Division
The goal of the City's Code Enforcement Division is to promote and maintain a quality living environment for residents and visitors and to find solutions to problems resulting from violations of the City's Municipal Code. City Codes are developed to improve the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Compliance with City Codes helps to maintain healthy neighborhoods and creates an improved quality of life in our city. Code violations can detract from positive appearance while property maintenance promotes a quality aesthetic appearance throughout the city. Enforcing the City Codes includes conducting field inspections, documenting, and abating problems, and responding to citizens' complaints.
Goals and Objectives
1. Continue the systematic inspection of all properties in the City to assure that all properties remain in compliance with health and safety codes and property maintenance standards.
2. Maintain and Improve the Built Environment to protect the public health, safety and welfare of residents, business operators and guests to the City of West Covina while encouraging economic development opportunities.
3. Coordinate actions to maximize efficiency of delivery of service in addressing regional and local community development needs.
4. Encourage and assist in the revitalization and improvement of blighted commercial/industrial properties and improve the City's housing stock.

City of West Covina FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget
Capital Improvement Program
The City of West Covina develops a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that consists of an extensive list of projects necessary to maintain and improve the City's infrastructure. The City defines a CIP as having (1) a capital asset with a minimum dollar value of $45,000, and (2) an estimated useful life of three years or more. A multi -year CIP is necessary because it is impossible to fund all capital projects immediately. In order to meet the City's needs, it is imperative that the City continues to plan and strategize how it will allocate limited financial resources for capital projects.
The CIP should not be confused with the capital improvement budget. The capital improvement budget represents the first year of the CIP that is reviewed and adopted by the City Council. It authorizes specific projects and appropriates specific funding for those projects.
Projects and funding sources listed in the CIP for years other than year one (commonly called "out years") are not authorized until the annual budget for those years is adopted by the City Council. The "out years" serve only as a guide for future planning and are subject to further review and modification in subsequent years. The City Council adopts a five-year CIP to provide a standard by which to:
■ Prioritize the increased needs of the City
• Analyze the various funding sources
• Match, as appropriate, the funds to the various needs r59b ■ Plan to meet the City's capital needs over an extended period of time, as funding becomes available
• Help to eliminate deficiencies, yet accommodate changing priorities while progressing toward a goal The CIP has been developed with the combined input from the City Council and City staff. Requests are submitted to a committee of City staff members to review along with justifications, suggested funding source(s) and associated costs including any ongoing operating costs. The projects are categorized as CityWide, Building, General, Parks, Regional, Sewer, Streets, or Traffic.
They are assessed based on the funding availability and the needs and priorities of the City, then presented to the City Council for consideration and approval. Projects not funded in the current fiscal year are put in "out years." Conversely, during the budget year there may be additional CIP projects approved by the City Council that were unforeseen during the budget adoption process. ■ Although staff has made every attempt to adhere to the definition of a CIP, there are some occasions when projects may be below the $45,000 limit. While these projects may not be classified by most agencies as "capital projects," they have been included due to their uniqueness. The Government Finance Officers' Association defines a capital asset as "a new or rehabilitated physical asset that is nonrecurring, has a useful life of more than three to five years, and is expensive to purchase." ■ This Five -Year Capital Improvement Program is presented to the City Council as a working document.
The projects and funding sources are subject to change during the budget year to better reflect the priorities of the City Council.
