Agenda Item 7.1
DATE: June 17, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget
Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Finance Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approval of the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2025 -26 and
related salary plans.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct the budget hearing, deliberate, and adopt the following: 1) Resolution Adopting a
Budget for the City of Dublin for Fiscal Year 2025 -26; 2) Resolution Establishing a Salary Plan
for Full-Time Personnel in Accordance W ith the Personnel Rules; 3) Resolution Establishing a
Salary Plan for Management Positions Exempt from Compet itive Services; and 4) Resolution
Amending the Classification Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Proposed Budget reflects citywide revenues of $165.1 million (includes both governmental
and internal service funds) and expenditures of $139.6 million for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The
total citywide fund balance is projected at $352.6 million.
The Proposed General Fund Budget is balanced, with the operating budget in a surplus
position of $16.8 million. Overall General Fund reserves are projected to decrease by $3.3
million after transfers out.
All fund balances are projected in the positive, except for grant funds, which are reimbursed
after expenditures are incurred, and the Public Facility Fees Fund, due to the timing difference
in the collection of fees and the construction of parks and facilities.

DESCRIPTION:
The City of Dublin utilizes a biennial budget process, in which a comprehensive budget
document is prepared that establishes high -level priorities and specific departmental goals for
a two-year period. The second year of the cycle is the update year, in wh ich prior projections
are revised and significant changes are highlighted. The budget update is a pared-down
document containing fund financial schedules, while the original budget document continues to
serve as the guiding financial plan, with departmenta l narratives, fund descriptions, a glossary,
an explanation of accounting principles, and related defining information. The Fiscal Year
2025-26 Budget covers the second year of the two-year budget cycle.
FY 2025-26 Budget Document Overview
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget (Attachment 1) includes the following sections:
1. Funds Summary - These schedules show revenue and expenditures for each fund and
include a brief description of variances and fund balance projections.
2. General Fund Summary.
3. Fiduciary Funds - This section presents revenues and expenditures associated with
non-City funds, such as the Community Facilities Districts Funds, and the four Geologic
Hazard Abatement Districts (GHADs), which were approved on June 3, 2025. The fund
summaries are included in the City budget document for reference.
4. Adopted Strategic Plan.
5. Appendix - This section contains departmental historical expenditures, the Position
Allocation Plan, information on Human Services grants, and the City’s Appropriations
Limit.
General Fund Budget
The City Council reviewed the Preliminary General Fund Budget at the April 15, 2025 meeting
and requested additional evaluation of potential cost cutting and revenue enhancing measures.
At the June 3, 2025 meeting, Staff presented those measure s, along with refined revenue and
expenditure budgets, including a request from Dublin Unified School District to fund additional
crossing guards. The City Council directed Staff to move forward with the budget as presented,
with some changes to General Fund contributions to the Capital Improvement Program.
As discussed at the April meeting, the Proposed Budget includes funding for the addition of
two positions to the Position Allocation Plan: one Office Assistant II (this classification already
exists) in Police Services to help manage the increased volume of record requests, and one
Digital Communications Technician (this is a new classification) in the City Manager’s Office to
support the growing demand for routine social media content creation, website updates, and
basic public information materials. This position will handle routine social media content
creation, scheduling, and basic digital tasks, freeing up time for professional and senior-level
staff to focus on more complex projects. The combined cost of these new positions in Fiscal
Year 2056-26 is approximately $261,000.
In addition, the City Manager’s Office is making three changes that will allow Staff to better
support the City’s evolving communication and outreach goals. First, the Communications
635
Page 3 of 4
Division is being renamed the Community Engagement Division to better reflect the primary
goal of the division.
Second, two existing positions are being renamed as Digital Engagement Specialists (from
Graphic Design and Communications Coordinator and Management Analyst II), with no
change to the salary range. This updated title and job description more accurately reflects the
professional-level duties currently assigned to Staff, including creating high-quality digital
content, managing multimedia campaigns, and ensuring consistent branding across platforms.
Third, a new position called Senior Digital Engagement Specialist is being created, which
provides an internal promotional opportunity for one of the Digital Engagement Specialists after
the new fiscal year begins. This position will assist in leading the Division, modernizing the
City’s website to strengthen its community engagement, guiding the City’s digital storytelling
and outreach strategies, and helping to develop staff and support succession planning. The
vacant position resulting from the promotion will not be backfilled, therefore the net cost related
to this change is negligible.
Salary Plan
Included in the City’s Personnel System are resolutions that address salary ranges for City
personnel. Attachments 3 and 4 propose establishing salary ranges for FY 2025-26 to reflect
the cost-of-living increases included in the City’s Benefit Plan, previously adopted on
September 5, 2023. In addition, the resolutions include salary ranges for the newly created
positions discussed above. The salary ranges for these new classifications were determined
based on a market assessment of comparable positions in similar agencies and then aligned
internally within the City classification plan of related jobs in terms of scope and requirements
to establish pay equity within the City’s Salary Plan.
Classification Plan
Pursuant to the City’s Personnel System Rules, a job description must be adopted for each
classification in the organization. The job descriptions, which outline key elements, knowledge,
skills, abilities, and requirements, form the City’s Classification Plan. Attachments 5 through 8
will formally add the Digital Communications Technician, Digital Engagement Specialist, and
Senior Digital Engagement Specialist to the Classification Plan.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The Proposed Budget reflects priorities established in the City’s Two -Year Strategic Plan.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A Budget Adoption Notice was posted on June 13, 2025 and the City Council Agenda was
posted.
