Key responsibilities include budget management, contract administration, personnel support, policy development, procurement, community engagement, records management, strategic planning, and coordination with internal and external stakeholders.
Fire Prevention Bureau
Fire Chief currently serves in a dual role as both Fire Chief and Fire Marshal.
The bureau is responsible for enforcing the California Fire Code and applicable state regulations to ensure fire and life safety in both new and existing occupancies. Core functions include:
• Conducting inspections and issuing operational and construction permits. • Ensuring compliance with state-mandated facility safety requirements. • Reviewing architectural and fire protection system plans. • Coordinating with Building, Planning, and Community Development divisions. • Managing fire and life safety compliance for industrial, commercial, and public assembly occupancies.
Plan review services are supplemented through contracted consultants, with associated costs recovered through user fees.
The bureau implemented the First Due Inspection Module, improving efficiency in inspection tracking and documentation.
Operations
Operations is a fully staffed, 24-hour emergency response force for fire, medical, rescue, hazardous materials, and all-hazard incidents.
Emergency services are deployed from five stations to maintain timely responses across the city. Daily staffing includes paramedic engines or quint companies at each station and three paramedic rescue ambulances located at Stations 121, 122, and 124.
The on-duty Assistant Fire Chief, operating from Station 122, oversees daily system deployment and operational readiness.
This configuration delivers a daily effective response force of 23 sworn personnel, ensuring consistent life safety protection amid steadily increasing call volumes.
Approximately 76% of all responses are EMS-related, with personnel delivering advanced life support services supported by ongoing quality assurance and continuing education through a partnership with UCLA. Department paramedics continue to adopt emerging lifesaving practices introduced by the Los Angeles County EMS Agency.

Community Risk Reduction
Despite fiscal constraints, the department continues to take an active and progressive approach to emergency planning by integrating preparedness efforts into daily operations and response readiness. Personnel maintain specialized disaster response training to support coordinated operations during large-scale incidents such as earthquakes, floods, hazardous material releases, wildland fires, and other regional emergencies.
The department is also expanding its proactive community preparedness efforts through the implementation of the Community Connect outreach program, which strengthens situational awareness by allowing residents and businesses to securely share critical information to assist first responders during emergencies.
Together, these efforts enhance operational readiness and ensure the department remains prepared to support Emergency Operations Center activation and effectively serve the community during major incidents.

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. 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 Plan to meet the City’s capital needs over an extended period, as funding becomes available.
Help to eliminate deficiencies, yet accommodate changing priorities while progressing toward a goal Capital Improvement Selection Process
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 City Wide, 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.
Special Comments
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.

Debt Service
The City of West Covina, the Community Development Commission, and the Public Financing Authority (PFA) have issued debt instruments to finance capital projects and equipment. The three governmental units, although related, are distinct legal entities. The debt of the Community Development Commission (the former Redevelopment Agency) has been assumed by the Successor Agency to the City of West Covina Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”). The City currently does not intend to new issue debt.
The City has tax-based revenue from which to repay debt. The Successor Agency receives an allocation of property taxes from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) in an amount sufficient to meet the annual debt service requirements. The PFA has no ability to generate revenues, other than through charges for the use of money and property. Debt between related governments has not been budgeted, as doing so would result in double-counting the debt and related revenues.
The State of California Government Code section 43605 states legal debt margin shall not exceed 15% of gross assessed value of all real and personal property of the City. The City does not have debt applicable to the debt limit limitation, since none of the debt is backed by taxes levied upon taxable property.
Debt Issued by the City Of West Covina – Notes Payable
Successor Agency Note - $11,578,351
On December 4, 2015, the City and Successor Agency entered into a settlement agreement with the California Department of Finance (DOF) regarding the Other Funds Due Diligence Review. The agreement requires the City to repay the Successor Agency $11,578,351 for transfers that did not represent enforceable obligations. The Successor Agency will then remit these funds to the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller for allocation to the affected taxing entities. The amount of the note must be repaid through biannual payments in the amount of $289,459 each on January 15th and June 15th until the loan is repaid in full on June 15, 2035. There is no interest charged on this repayment.

Debt Service
Debt Issued by the Former Redevelopment Agency – Bonds Payable 2017 Tax Allocation Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series A (Tax-Exempt) & B (Federally Taxable) Original Issue - $15,380,000
This is composed of Series A ($4,725,000) and Series B ($10,655,000) bonds issued in February 2017, to refinance the 1998 Housing Set-Aside Tax Allocation Bonds, Series A and B, the 2001 Housing Set-Aside Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, the 2002 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds and the 1999 Taxable Variable Rate Demand Tax Allocation Bonds. Interest rates range from 2.0% to a maximum of 5.0% over the term of the Series A bonds and from 1.0% to a maximum of 4.0% over the term of the Series B bonds. The bonds are payable from and secured by designated property tax revenues (formerly tax increment revenues).
Sales and Use Tax Reimbursement Agreement
The former Redevelopment Agency agreed to reimburse the City for sales tax revenues used to secure CFD bonds. Under the agreement, all previously foregone sales tax through FY 2005-06 totaling $9.6 million will be repaid starting FY 2005-06, spread over 20 years at 4% interest. These repayments will be combined with the annual reimbursement of future sales tax amounts. The total annual payments would range from $1.5 million in 2005-06 to a high of $2.9 million in 2021-22 with final payments totaling $1.2 million in 2024-25. In the event sufficient revenues to make the scheduled payments do not exist, the amount will be carried forward with no default on the agreement. Said agreement may be amended so long as owners of obligations payable from the tax increment are not harmed. As a result of redevelopment dissolution, this agreement has also been deemed invalid by the Department of Finance (DOF) at this time. Staff continues to research ways to get this agreement approved by the DOF.

Rating Agencies rate how likely debt will be repaid by an entity. The ratings are for informational purposes, they do not predict probability of default, or investment recommendations. Historically, bonds that receive a high letter grade can pay a lower interest rate than one with a lower grade. The City was rated by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a well-known rating agency, which affirmed its rating of “A+.”

AGENDA ITEM NO. 7
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
City of West Covina | Office of the City Manager
DATE: May 5, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Milan Mrakich, Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL FORECAST FOR FY 2027-2031 RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council receive and file the Long-Range Financial Forecast for fiscal years ending 2027-2031.
BACKGROUND:
Local government financial condition analysis consists of defining and measuring financial condition, identifying any warning trends, conducting data analysis, and writing a report of analysis. Beyond the annual budget cycle and multi-year capital plan, governments need to identify long-term financial trends. Long-term financial planning involves projecting revenues, expenses, and key factors that have a financial impact on the organization. Understanding long-term trends and potential risk factors that may impact overall financial sustainability allows staff to proactively address these issues. A long-term financial planning process allows Council to focus on long-term objectives, encourages strategic thinking, and promotes overall awareness for financial literacy in an organization.
Additionally, the State audit recommended the City prepare financial analyses that evaluate both the short-term and long-term financial implications of significant spending decisions. The City's action in regard to this finding was to use a multi-year forecast to quantify the impact of decisions on the City’s financial condition. The City originally developed a multi-year forecast in 2020.
As was contemplated in the City's Financial Recovery Plan, annually staff prepares and updates the forecast to include all projected revenue and expenditures, adding information on new assumptions, unanticipated costs, and cost-saving actions.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the forecast update is to provide long-term context for annual decisions that will be made with the FY 2026-2027 Budget and FY 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan. This forecast was developed to create a forward-looking, conservative baseline budgetary outlook for the City’s General Fund under a given set of revenue and expenditure growth assumptions.
The Long-Range Financial Forecast (Attachment No. 1) is part of the annual budget process.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office did not review this staff report.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve staff recommendation; or
2. Provide alternative direction.

City of West Covina Long-Range Financial Forecast: FYE 2027-2031
Overview
The purpose of this forecast is to provide long-term context for annual decisions that will be made with the Fiscal Year Ending (FYE) 2027 Budget and FYE 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan. This forecast was developed to create a forward-looking, conservative baseline budgetary outlook for the City’s General Fund under a given set of revenue and expenditure growth assumptions.
The revenue and expenditure growth assumptions have been updated based on historical trends, actuarial reports, and CPI trends. The base year for this forecast is FYE 2026.
Revenue
The City’s major revenue sources include property taxes, sales tax, and charges for services. Each of these revenue sources are driven by the growth of the local economy and the City’s population. This is also true of several of the City’s other revenue sources including business license, franchise fees, and licenses and permits.
Revenue Growth Assumptions
Based on historical prior year actuals Property Tax is assumed to increase by 3% for FYE 2027 and forecasted to increase from 3.0% to 3.5%.
The Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fee grows with estimated increase in assessed valuation. Sales Tax estimates are provided by the City’s sales tax consultant, HdL, and are forecasted to increase by 3.5% in FYE 2027 to 3.2% by FYE 2031.
The following are assumed to grow with CPI which has average of 3.4% over the past ten years:
o Business License Tax
o Transient Occupancy Tax
o Franchise Fees
o Charges for service that increase with CPI
o Rental Income
o Licenses and Permits
o Use Of Money/Property

City of West Covina Long-Range Financial Forecast: FYE 2027-2031
Expenditures are forecasted for the City’s two major funds: General and Debt Service. The baseline forecast presented herein includes expenditures already approved by and/or committed to by the City Council. Rising costs due to inflation, and/or interest rates are also anticipated and included in this forecast through growth factors applied to each forecast category. Miscellaneous Expenditure Growth Assumptions
Based salaries have been projected to reflect the increases per current and anticipated memorandums of understanding.
The forecast assumes recruitment of all budgeted positions with annual estimated vacancy savings within larger staffing groups.
Projected employer contributions to California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) are based on the latest Actuarial Valuation.
Increases in expenditures are based on historical actuals and CPI which has averaged around 3.4%. The forecast does not assume increases in contributions to Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB). Workers Compensation and Insurance claims have been based on recent actuarial study. The initial forecast assumes fully funding recurring expenditures but does not address the current liability.

The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability (UAL). In 2020, the City issued taxable Lease Revenue Bonds to provide financing to pay the City’s unfunded pension liabilities to CalPERS.
However, as of the latest actuarial report received in 2024, the City’s net pension related liability will be over $37.3 million for the miscellaneous and safety plans – meaning the city reported a liability again as of June 30, 2024. Table 3. Projected CalPERS Rates.
The PARS retirement enhancement plan consists of an EPMC replacement supplemental retirement plan and a supplemental retirement plan for executive staff and City Council. The City makes all contributions to these plans. Participants do not make any contributions. The City is currently only funding the benefit payments payable each year.

Self-Insured Workers Compensation and Liability
The City is self-insured for workers compensation and liability (automobile, general, and public officials). The City has always purchased excess insurances for workers compensation and liability. In compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 10, the City has an actuarial study completed every two years.
Based on the latest actuarial study, the estimated outstanding workers compensation losses increased by $0.1 million from our prior estimate of $12.8 million as of June 30, 2024 to $13.0 as of June 30, 2025. The change consists of:
+$2.6 million from the additional year (2024/25) of exposure, -$1.9 million for claim payments made during 2024/25, and -$0.6 million due to a change in projected ultimate losses for 2023/24 and prior.
The decrease in outstanding workers compensation losses is mainly due to a decrease in case reserves of $0.1 million.
Additionally, the estimated outstanding liability losses decreased by $1.4 million from our prior estimate of $13.2 million as of June 30, 2024 to $11.8 million as of June 30, 2025.
The change consists of:
+$4.0 million from the additional year (2024/25) of
exposure,
-$3.4 million for claim payments made during
2024/25, and
-$2.0 million due to a change in projected ultimate
losses for 2023/24 and prior.
