DATE: June 2, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Proposed Budget for Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28
Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Finance Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will review the Proposed Budget and forecast covering two fiscal years and
consider adoption of a Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct the public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the Resolution Approving a Budget for the
City of Dublin for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and provide direction on additional budget requests that
have been made since the Preliminary Budget presentation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Proposed Budget includes citywide revenues of $173.1 million in Fiscal Year 2026-27 and
$177.2 million in Fiscal Year 2027-28 (includes both governmental and internal service funds).
Expenditure proposals total $148.3 million and $151.5 million in Fiscal Years 2026-27 and
2027-28, respectively. The total citywide fund balance is projected at $403.7 million and
$417.2 million in Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28, respectively.
The Proposed General Fund Budget is balanced in both years, with a projected addition to
reserves (after transfers out) of $4.8 million in the first year, and $1.1 million in the second
year.
All fund balances are projected to remain positive, with the exception of certain grant funds
and the Public Facilities Fee Fund. Grant funds may periodically reflect negative balances due
to the timing of reimbursement payments, as expenditures are incurred prior to reimbursement
being received. The Public Facilities Fee Fund may also reflect negative balances due to
timing differences between the collection of development impact fees and the construction of
parks and public facilities funded by those revenues.

DESCRIPTION:
Background
On April 21, 2026, the City Council received a presentation on the Preliminary Budget for the
upcoming two fiscal years. The April Staff Report is provided as Attachment 4.
At that time, Staff noted that the City had not yet received the budget proposal from the
Alameda County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) for police services. Staff also indicated that recently
received property tax information from the Alameda County Assessor's Office would negatively
impact final property tax numbers.
Since the Preliminary Budget presentation, the City has received ACSO’s proposal and Staff
have continued to work with the City's property tax consultants to further refine property tax
revenue projections. In addition, the City received updated cost information from the Alameda
County Fire Department (ACFD), and Staff refined Internal Service Fund cost allocations. This
Staff Report discusses those updates and provides tables illustrating the most substantial
changes from the information provided in April.
In addition, the City has received several new budget requests requiring City Council direction.
These items have not been incorporated into the Proposed Budget and are presented later in
this report for Council consideration.
Changes Since the Preliminary Budget Presentation
Property Tax
FY 2026-27 – Decrease of $529,200
FY 2027-28 – Decrease of $427,824
During the Preliminary Budget presentation, Staff noted that the Alameda County Assessor’s
Office had granted Proposition 8 reductions to more properties than originally anticipated,
lowering the City’s projected assessed valuation and projected property tax revenues.
After working with the County Assessor’s Office and the City’s property tax consultants , Staff
now anticipate that property tax revenues will be reduced by $529,200 in Fiscal Year (FY)
2026-27 and $427,824 in FY 2027-28 from the Preliminary Budget figures, as shown in Table
1. The County tax roll is not yet final and additional adjustments may occur . Staff will continue
to monitor and update the City Council as new information becomes available.

Difference - ($529,200) ($427,824)
Change from Prior Year - $1,455,325 $3,516,191
ACFD Fire Contract
FY 2026-27 – Increase of $49,820
FY 2027-28 – Increase of $52,311
ACFD recently notified the City that the County updated its internal service rates, resulting in
charges that are slightly higher than those originally included in the ACFD budget proposal.
Overall, the revised rates increase projected ACFD services costs by approximately $49,820 in
FY 2026-27 and $52,311 in FY 2027-28.
ACSO Contract (Dublin Police Services)
FY 2026-27 – Decrease of $1,493,926
FY 2027-28 – Decrease of $3,363,776
The Preliminary Budget assumed a 6.1 percent annual growth in Dublin Police Services costs,
equating to an increase of $1.79 million in FY 2026-27 and $1.85 million in FY 2027-28. Since
that time the City has received ACSO’s budget proposal, which is significantly less than
originally projected, as shown in Table 2.

Difference - ($1,493,926) ($3,363,776)
Change from Prior Year - $293,666 ($21,790)
Compared to the amounts included in the Preliminary Budget, the Proposed Budget results in
a reduction of $1.49 million in FY 2026-27 and $3.36 million in FY 2027-28. The primary factor
contributing to the lower-than-anticipated costs is ACSO’s payoff of its pension obligation
bonds, which significantly reduced retirement-related expenses.
It’s worth noting that the slight FY 2027-28 decrease compared to FY 2026-27 reflects that FY
2026-27 contains an extra pay period; FY 2027-28 returns to the standard 26-pay-period cycle.

Internal Service Fund Charges
FY 2026-27 – No change
FY 2027-28 – Decrease of $62,743
During projection of software costs for FY 2027-28, Staff identified modest savings of $62,743
from prepayment of certain software agreements in prior years.
Animal Shelter Services
As noted in the Preliminary Budget presentation, the City of Livermore has withdrawn from the
Alameda County Animal Control Shelter services agreement, which is expected to increase
Dublin's share of regional costs. Alameda County is preparing a proposal for remaining partner
agencies on the future service structure. The City has not yet received that proposal, but the
County's most recent budget update for Animal Control and Shelter services aligns with the
City's projected amounts and assumes no change to current operations. Staff will return with
an update and a budget change, if necessary, as further details become available.
Additional Requests for Consideration
Since the Preliminary Budget presentation, the following requests were received, and Staff is
seeking City Council direction on whether to incorporate them into the Budget.
Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) - Additional City-Funded Crossing Guards
FY 2026-27 - $23,100 per crossing guard
FY 2027-28 - $24,055 per crossing guard
At the May 7, 2026 City-DUSD Liaison Committee meeting, DUSD requested that the City fund
two additional crossing guard positions to be assigned at the new Shamrock Hills TK-8 school
in the Boulevard community. The City’s contract with All City Management Services Inc.
currently provides for the equivalent of 18 crossing guards in Dublin, with the City funding 14
and DUSD funding four. This allocation includes three additional guards that the City agreed to
fund at DUSD’s request last July.
Staff believes that it would be reasonable for the City to fund one new guard at Shamrock Hills
and ask DUSD to either fund the second guard or evaluate whether there is a guard that could
be shifted from another location.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $42,000
FY 2027-28 - $0
The Human Services Grants expenditures in the Proposed Budget reflect the two-year cycle
recommended by the Human Services Commission on March 27, 2025, and approved by the
City Council on May 6, 2025. The approved funding level assumed Dublin would continue to
receive supplemental CDBG funds through the Alamed a County Urban County CDBG
Program, in addition to its annual base allocation. For several years, the City has successfully
requested and received these previously unallocated funds to support thet Human Services
479
Page 5 of 6
Grant Program.
For FY 2026-27, the City's request for supplemental funds was denied, as participating
jurisdictions are beginning to draw down their own allocations. As a result, Dublin will receive
only its annual base allocation, creating an estimated $42,000 shortfall in the Human Services
Grant Program. To preserve the funding level previously approved by the City Council, Staff
recommends a one-time General Fund contribution to offset the FY 2026-27 gap. Staff will
return in summer 2026 to discuss long-term funding strategies for the program.

CITY MANAGER TRANSMITTAL LETTER
June 2, 2026
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers:
I hereby submit to you the City of Dublin’s Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28 Budget, covering the beginning of a new two-year
budget cycle.
Since the City’s rebound from the Great Recession, Dublin’s budget cycle has been guided by three primary goals during this
period of sustained economic growth: fully funding current City operations, continuing to set aside reserves for future capital
projects, and maintaining adequate operating reserves over the long term. Through disciplined financial planning and
conservative budgeting, the City has successfully advanced these goals. This is a key reason Dublin has remained financially
strong during periods of uncertainty, while many jurisdictions, including some in this region, have faced difficult budget
decisions.
While the City continues to benefit from development activity, the pace of new development is expected to slow over the next
two years as major projects reach completion. As a result, Staff has continued to emphasize that the large operating surpluses
are not likely to continue over the long term. This shift underscores the importance of preparing the City for the transition
from a growth-oriented community to a maintenance-focused one, where costs associated with aging infrastructure, facilities,
and service demands are expected to increase at the same time revenue growth begins to slow.
It is important to note that the City has not yet reached this transition point. However, the long-term forecast indicates that,
absent mitigating actions, the City is projected to experience an operating deficit beginning in Fiscal Year 2030-31. While this
transition will require difficult choices over time, the City still has the runway to act thoughtfully and take measured steps to
preserve long-term fiscal stability while continuing to provide the high level of services that residents, businesses, and visitors
have come to expect.
The short-term action items outlined in this transmittal letter and incorporated into the Proposed Budget continue to support
the City’s original three budget goals, while also beginning to advance a fourth goal: preparing Dublin for its transition to a
maintenance-focused city. These efforts are consistent with the City Council’s recently adopted Two-Year Strategic Plan and
reflect the City’s ongoing commitment to prudent fiscal stewardship.
This Budget is a comprehensive document, including fund summaries, revenue and expenditure summaries, position
allocations, and illustrative charts and graphs that present the City’s financial plan in a clear and transparent manner. It also
includes performance measures for certain departments, which tie City activities to measurable outcomes. Behind all the
numbers is the City's commitment to continue delivering a high level of service to the community while planning for long-term
financial stability.

Budget-In-Brief: Key Issues
Economic Outlook
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 Budget reflects many of the same economic conditions that have impacted the City
over the past two years. Elevated inflation, ongoing supply chain constraints, and increased operating costs have continued to
place pressure on both consumers and local governments. While economic conditions showed signs of improvement at
various points during this period, prompting the Federal Reserve System to lower interest rates multiple times over the past
two years, ongoing global conflicts and broader world events have continued to create economic uncertainty and volatility in
financial markets. As a result, the Federal Reserve has recently paused additional rate adjustments while it continues to
monitor inflationary trends and overall economic conditions.
Despite this uncertainty, the City’s economic consultants anticipate conditions will gradually improve over the next year, with
inflation continuing to be moderate and economic activity stabilizing. Current projections indicate the Federal Reserve may
resume lowering interest rates in the latter part of 2026, which is expected to help stimulate economic growth and consumer
activity heading into 2027.
Budget Overview
The Budget includes citywide revenue of $173.1 million in FY 2026-27 and $177.2 million in FY 2027-28. Expenditure proposals
total $148.3 million and $151.5 million in FY 2026-27 and 2027-28, respectively. The total citywide fund balance is projected at
$403.7 million and $417.2 million in FY 2026-27 and 2027-28, respectively. All fund balances are budgeted in the positive,
except for grant funds, which are reimbursed after expenditures are incurred, and the Public Facilities Fee Fund due to the
timing difference in collecting the fees and construction of parks and facilities.
The General Fund Budget is balanced in both years, with operating surpluses projected at $11.1 million in FY 2026-27 and $9.3
million in FY 2027-28. After factoring in transfers out, it is projected that $4.8 million will be added to reserves in FY 2026-27
and $1.1 million in FY 2027-28, with a year-over-year decrease due to the continuation of planned general fund expenditures
on Capital Improvement Program projects.
General Fund Overview
Property Tax, the City’s largest revenue source, has begun to show signs of slowing growth. While both fiscal years are still
projected to receive the annual 2% increase in assessed valuation permitted under Proposition 13, recent reports from the
County Assessor’s Office indicate that a greater number of properties than originally anticipated have been granted
Proposition 8 reductions. As a result, projected Property Tax revenue in FY 2026-27 has been reduced by approximately
$529,200 (0.79%) from the amounts previously presented during the Preliminary Budget presentation.
A Proposition 8 reduction is a temporary decrease in a property’s assessed value that occurs when the property’s current
market value falls below its taxable value. These reductions are reviewed annually by the County Assessor and may be
restored in future years as property values recover. Staff continues to work closely with the City’s property tax consultants and
the County Assessor’s Office to evaluate the full fiscal impact of these reductions and will provide updates as additional
information becomes available.
Sales Tax, the City’s second-largest revenue source, is projected to increase from the current year amended budget; however,
updated information indicates growth is now expected to be lower than previously projected. This adjustment is based on
revised forecasts from the City’s sales tax consultant, reflecting continued softness in consumer spending amid higher prices
and ongoing economic uncertainty.
The updated outlook anticipates the most significant impacts within the auto sector, which accounts for approximately 40
percent of the City’s sales tax base. While Dublin’s auto dealers have continued to show resilience, Staff and the City’s
consultants are closely monitoring the effects of global conflicts, rising energy and transportation costs, inflationary pressures,

and tariffs, all of which continue to place pressure on household budgets and discretionary spending, particularly for high-cost
purchases such as automobiles.
Development Revenue is projected to increase slightly in FY 2026-27 relative to the FY 2025-26 Amended Budget before
declining in FY 2027-28 as active development projects near completion. Charges for Services are projected to increase by 11.8
percent in FY 2026-27 and 3.1 percent in FY 2027-28, driven primarily by continued strong demand for the City’s recreational
programs and facilities.
On the expenditure side, personnel costs are projected to increase by $1.3 million in FY 2026-27 due to the addition of three
full-time positions, cost-of-living adjustments, merit increases, and rising retirement and healthcare costs. Contracted Services,
including Police, Fire, and maintenance services, are projected to increase by $6.1 million, or 8.3 percent, in FY 2026-27 and by
$1.6 million, or 2.0 percent, in FY 2027-28, primarily due to rising public safety and MCE Corporation costs.
The increase also reflects an accounting reclassification of certain Police and Fire liability insurance costs from Services and
Supplies to Contracted Services, which better reflects the nature of these expenditures. The reclassification shifts
approximately $1.7 million in FY 2026-27 and $2.0 million in FY 2027-28 into Contracted Services, with a corresponding
decrease in Services and Supplies.
Overall, the City enters this budget cycle in a stronger financial position than many peer agencies. Significant economic
uncertainty remains, particularly around the City’s major revenue sources, and Staff will continue to closely monitor these
conditions.
Strategic Planning
Strategic Plan
The Two-Year Strategic Plan sets the overall direction for the City, guiding resources and setting specific objectives to drive City
actions, and includes the City’s Mission, Vision, and Values. In developing this Plan, the City utilizes a consultant to facilitate the
process with the City Council and the City’s executive leadership. The consultant interviews each Councilmember to identify
individual priorities, which are then consolidated into draft goals by the consultant and executive leadership. Following this,
the City Council reviews, prioritizes, and finalizes the consolidated goals and strategies at a Strategic Planning Workshop, which
is typically held in February/March. The Two-Year Strategic Plan is then adopted at a subsequent City Council meeting, prior to
being incorporated into the City’s budget. On April 7, 2026, the City Council adopted its Two-Year Strategic Plan for FY 2026-27
and 2027-28. Each quarter, Staff provides the City Council an update on the progress being made towards the established
priorities.
The priorities for FY 2026-27 and 2027-28 are:
Public Safety, Health, and Welfare
Fiscal Sustainability
Technology Innovation
Housing Affordability
City Infrastructure
Downtown Dublin
Fallon East Economic Development Zone
Enhanced Customer Experience

Short-Term Priorities and Factors
The following is a summary of certain actions, driven by the priorities in the Two-Year Strategic Plan, which have budgetary
impacts and are addressed in this two-year budget.
Public Safety, Health, and Welfare
The FY 2026-27 Dublin Police Services (DPS) Budget includes the addition of one Lieutenant position to support operational
oversight, supervision, and continued service demands within the Police Services Department. The DPS Budget also continues
funding for two retired annuitant positions that support the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program. These positions
will continue to be fully funded through opioid settlement revenues, allowing the City to maintain youth outreach and drug
prevention education efforts without impacting General Fund resources.
Additionally, the DPS Budget provides for the continued staffing of the three positions assigned to the Behavioral Health Unit.
Since its establishment, the Behavioral Health Unit has played an increasingly important role in responding to calls involving
mental health, homelessness, and other behavioral health-related issues, while helping connect community members with
appropriate services and resources. Beginning in FY 2026-27, funding for these positions will transition to being fully supported
by the General Fund, reflecting the City’s ongoing commitment to maintaining these services as part of its core public safety
and community support efforts.
Housing Affordability
The Proposed Budget also reflects the City’s continued commitment to supporting affordable housing opportunities within the
community. To assist residents seeking homeownership opportunities in Dublin, the appropriations include $800,000 in each
fiscal year for the City’s FirstTime Homebuyer Loan Program. This funding will help support eligible homebuyers by providing
financial assistance toward the purchase of a home, while furthering the City’s broader housing goals and efforts to maintain a
diverse and sustainable community.
City Infrastructure
The Proposed Budget includes the addition of a Maintenance Coordinator position to support the development and
implementation of the City’s asset management program and provide oversight of maintenance contractors and related
operations.
The FY 2026-27 budget for maintenance services with MCE Corporation includes an increase of approximately $1.4 million over
the prior year. This increase reflects the continued growth, complexity, and aging of the City’s infrastructure systems, as well as
the high level of service expected by the community. As City infrastructure ages, maintenance needs continue to increase in
both volume and complexity, requiring more specialized and coordinated maintenance efforts. The budget also reflects the
City’s continued transition toward a more proactive maintenance model focused on preventative maintenance and long-term
asset management strategies intended to improve reliability and reduce lifecycle costs.
Included in the proposed increase is approximately $285,000 to expand preventative maintenance efforts across City facilities
and infrastructure. By shifting away from reactive, "break-fix" maintenance toward a more proactive approach, the City can
extend the useful life of assets, improve system performance, and reduce the frequency of unexpected failures and emergency
repairs.
The Proposed Budget also includes approximately $140,000 for a new MCE Management Analyst position. This position will
support the operational and administrative functions associated with maintenance services, including implementation of a
computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) and advancement of a comprehensive citywide asset management
program.
Internal Service Funds (ISF)
Transmittal Letter
Proposed Budget Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28 | Dublin Page 9
Attachment #2
491
The proposed budget includes a 10.0 percent increase in Internal Service Fund (ISF) contributions in FY 2026-27 and a 9.0
percent increase in FY 2027-28 to help ensure adequate funding is available for the future replacement and maintenance of
City facilities, vehicles, technology systems, and other critical infrastructure assets. As the City’s infrastructure network
continues to age and expand, replacement costs, maintenance demands, and life cycle management needs are increasing
significantly. The additional funding will help the City continue proactively planning for these future capital obligations while
minimizing the risk of deferred maintenance and unexpected replacement costs.
In addition, Staff is currently undertaking a comprehensive citywide asset inventory and assessment effort to better evaluate
the condition, useful life, replacement schedules, and long-term funding needs associated with City-owned assets. This
initiative is intended to support the development of a more robust asset management framework and improve long-term
capital planning. Once completed, the inventory and assessment process may identify the need for additional future funding to
adequately address replacement, repair, rehabilitation, and ongoing maintenance requirements across the City’s infrastructure
systems and facilities.
Additionally, Staff is planning for increased maintenance costs and more frequent replacement of assets. Accordingly, the two-
year budget includes funding for the following:
$2.0 million General Fund contribution in each fiscal year to the Internal Service Funds for facility replacement. These
funds will be utilized in future years for the replacement of City assets, which include park structures, facilities, and
equipment at City facilities, including at The Wave.
$4.5 million annually for pavement management, including an estimated $9.15 million total General Fund contribution in
the new Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The new Five-Year CIP also includes several major street improvements, which require $38.3 million in funding over the next
five years. This is in addition to the $96.8 million currently included in the FY 2025-26 Amended Budget.
$3.5 million - Golden Gate Drive Intersection Improvements
$6.0 million - Local Street Resurfacing at I-580 Interchanges
$1.5 million - Tassajara Road Improvements – North Dublin Ranch Drive to Quarry Lane School
$27.3 million - Village Parkway Reconstruction
Additionally, the Budget includes the strategic use of Internal Service Funds previously set aside to address maintenance and
replacement issues through the CIP. This includes $9.2 million in Internal Service funding for the below projects.
$2.0 million - The Wave Pool Replastering
$0.2 million - Shannon Center – Pre-school Play Yard
$3.7 million - Dublin Sports Grounds Rehabilitation
$2.3 million - Fallon Sports Park – Artificial Turf Field Replacement
$1.1 million - Sports Court Resurfacing

Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget: The Details
OPERATING REVENUES
Citywide revenues total $173.1 million in FY 2026-27 (including internal service funds, excluding transfers in and Fiduciary
Funds), representing a decrease of $8.0 million from the FY 2025-26 Amended Budget, due to the receipt of one-time grant
funds in FY 2025-26 for capital improvement projects.
Highlights:
Property Taxes and Sales Taxes are the City’s largest ongoing revenue sources, accounting for 59.1 percent of total
Governmental Fund revenues in FY 2026-27.
Property Tax, the City’s largest revenue source, has begun to show signs of slowing growth. While both fiscal years are
still projected to receive the annual 2% increase in assessed valuation permitted under Proposition 13, recent reports
from the County Assessor’s Office indicate that a greater number of properties than originally anticipated have been
granted Proposition 8 reductions.
Sales Tax, the City’s second-largest revenue source, is projected to increase from the current year amended budget;
however, updated information indicates growth is now expected to be lower than previously projected. This updated
outlook reflects continued softness in consumer spending amid higher prices and ongoing economic uncertainty, and is
expected to have the largest impact within the auto sector, which accounts for approximately 40% of the City’s sales tax
base.
Use of Money and Property, which consists primarily of interest revenue, is projected to decrease by $1.4 million across
all funds in FY 2026-27 with the projected decrease primarily in the General Fund due to spending of General Fund
reserves to support CIP expenditures, which will reduce the City’s investable cash balances. This decrease is offset
partially by higher than previously projected cash balances in other City funds, resulting in year-over-year increases in
interest revenue. Overall across all funds, interest revenue is projected to decrease by an additional $1.3 million in FY
2027-28.
OPERATING EXPENDITURES
FY 2026-27 Budget totals $148.3 million in all funds (including Internal Service Fund purchases, excluding transfers out and
Fiduciary Funds). This is made up of operating appropriations of $140.7 million, and $7.6 million in Internal Service Fund costs
primarily for equipment purchases and Information Technology funding.
The City's operating expenditures are adjusted each year in a relatively consistent manner based on contract terms, consumer
price index (CPI) adjustments, or other known factors, (i.e. onetime projects, increase in development projects, or increase in
insurance rates).
Examples are:
Personnel costs are driven by salaries and benefits as approved by the City Council. Pension rates are set by CalPERS.
Services and Supplies remain generally static across departments, with increased cost coming from higher insurance
premiums as provided by the City’s PLAN Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA), the City’s insurance pool.
Contract Services budgets are based on projected work needed to address development projects and additional staffing
as the City’s population increases and City assets come online and mature.
Highlights:
Personnel
The two-year Budget reflects an updated position allocation plan, salaries, health rates, and retirement benefits. Total
personnel costs are projected to increase $1.4 million (5.2%) in FY 2026-27 and $1.5 million (5.4%) in FY 2027-28. This is due to

the addition of three staff members: an Environmental Coordinator and Maintenance Coordinator in Public Works and a
Recreation Supervisor in Parks and Community Services; cost-of-living adjustments; merit increases; and an increase in
retirement and health costs.
Contracted Services Costs
The City contracts for public safety (Police and Fire), maintenance, development, and other miscellaneous services. In Fiscal
Years 2026-27 and 2027-28, total contract services comprise 59.2 percent of the overall operating expenditure budget. Public
Safety contract costs make up 34.1 percent of all spending in the operating budget.

10-Year General Fund Forecast
The 10-Year General Fund Forecast serves as the foundation of the annual budget process in terms of guiding the City’s use of
resources now to prepare for the future. While the General Fund operating budget is in a positive position in the two-year
budget period, incorporating the information from this budget cycle into the 10-Year Forecast shows a projected operating
deficit starting in FY 2030-31, as illustrated in the table below. This is one year earlier than was discussed during last year’s
budget presentation. It should be noted that Staff uses conservative assumptions when projecting the City’s future revenue
and expenditures, and that a full recession scenario is not included in the 10-year period. .

10-Year General Fund Assumptions
In developing the 10-Year Forecast, Staff continued the practice of conservatively projecting revenues and growing
expenditures using historical information. While predicting economic health in the long term is challenging, Staff believes the
Forecast is a fair representation of the City’s potential financial future. Assumptions used in the Forecast are described below.
REVENUES
Property Tax
Years 3 through 5: 5 percent growth annually based on estimates provided by the City’s Property Tax consultant, which
includes the following assumptions:
CPI adjustment: 2 percent increase (the maximum allowed) throughout the forecast.
Transfer of ownership: growth based on historical averages and an improving housing market.
Prop 8 recapture: Recapturing value lost in FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28.
Years 5 through 10: 2.5 percent growth annually.
Sales Tax
Years 3 and 4: 3 percent growth annually.
Years 5 through 10: 2.5 percent growth annually.
All sharing agreements have been factored in.
Development Revenues
Based on development project projections.
Years 3 and 4: Flat
Years 5 through 10: Steady decline as the community nears build-out
Transient Occupancy Tax
Years 3 through 10: Flat. Pending results of November 2026 election regarding a potential rate increase.
If a rate increase is approved:
2 percent increase = $350,000 annual increase.
4 percent increase = $700,000 annual increase.
Other Taxes
Years 3 through 10: 3 percent annual growth, reflecting the steady rate adjustments in utility franchise fees, offsetting
the continued softness in transfer tax and cable revenues.
Charges for Services
Years 3 through 10: 2 percent growth annually as an inflationary factor, across all Charges for Services revenues
Interest
Years 3 and 4: Flat
Years 5 through 10: Annual decreases as the City draws down on planned General Fund Reserve spending and interest
rates continue to decline.
Rentals and Leases
Years 3 through 10: 3 percent annual growth
Revenue projections will be continually reevaluated as the effect of fee adjustments on utilization becomes clearer.
All Other Revenue
Years 3 through 10: 0-3 percent growth annually
EXPENDITURES
Personnel
Years 3 through 10:
Transmittal Letter

Attachment #2
497
No new positions.
COLA: up to 3.5 percent annually.
Merit: 3 percent increase annually.
Annual benefit increases of 5 percent for retirement and health care.
Services and Supplies
Years 3 through 10: 2 percent annual increase reflecting insurance premiums growing at 6 to 8 percent annually, offset
by non-insurance costs remaining relatively flat.
Internal Services Funds
Years 3 through 10: 10 percent annual increase to build up balances for future maintenance needs. However, this
assumption may be revisited as Staff completes a comprehensive asset inventory currently underway. Once finalized, any
identified funding deficiencies may necessitate adjustments to annual ISF contributions to ensure sufficient resources are
available for future replacements.
Contracted Services
Years 3 through 10: 6.0 percent annual growth for non-development-related contracts, consistent with historical contract
cost averages over the past decade. Development-related contracts are projected to remain flat in Years 3 and 4,
followed by a steady decline in Years 5 through 10, based on current development project projections and consistent
with projected development revenue.
Utilities
Years 3 through 10: Annual increase of 4%.
Transfers Out/Contributions/Other
Preventative Maintenance: $2.0 million per year.
Lease Revenue Bond Early Payoff: $1 million per year to FY 2028-29.
General Fund Contribution to CIP, based on current CIP projects.
One additional officer in Dublin Police Services in each year of the Forecast.
Conclusion
I am proud of the work that City of Dublin staff have done in putting together another thoughtful budget that reflects our
commitment to providing a high level of service to our community while maintaining a conservative approach. In short,
Dublin's finances are robust: the General Fund is in a surplus position, reserves are healthy, we continue to be able to make
significant investments in needed capital improvements, and our planned activities are in line with the priorities identified by
the City Council in its Strategic Plan.
I also want to thank the members of the community that have actively engaged with the City over the last year to provide
feedback on our services, and to highlight the things that are important to them. We endeavor to listen and to be responsive to
the variety of perspectives and needs of our diverse community.
Finally, I want to acknowledge the City Council for their continued policy guidance, thoughtful direction, and championing of
this great City.
Respectfully,
Colleen Tribby
City Manager

City of Dublin Profile
Overview
The City of Dublin is in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay
Area and is approximately 30 miles east of San Francisco
and approximately 30 miles northeast of Silicon Valley.
According to the California Department of Finance, the
population in the City of Dublin is 71,728 excluding group
quarters (3,041), as of May 2026.
The City of Dublin was incorporated in 1982 and in 2011 was
named an “All-America City” by the National Civic League.
For the period of 2010-2020 Dublin was named the fastest
growing city in California with a 38.7 percent increase in
population growth according to U.S. Census data.
Crossroads of the Bay Area
Dublin, California has long been known as the “crossroads” of the Bay Area. Dublin sits at the intersection of two major
highways: Interstate 580 and Interstate 680. The significance of its location dates back more than 200 years when Dublin
served as the crossroads of two important state routes – one from the Bay Area to Stockton, and the other from Martinez to
San Jose. The Alamilla Spring, located in the Dublin area, provided a place for travelers to change horses and freshen up before
continuing their journey.
Dublin has a rich history dating back to 1772 when Pedro Fages led an expedition of 16 mounted men on a journey in search of
a land route to Drake’s Bay, which at that time was called San Francisco Bay. Their return journey brought them through the
Amador Valley.
History of the City

Building a Community in 1835 and Beyond
It was not until 1835 when building began in the area. Jose Maria Amador had been paid in land for his years of service as a
Mexican soldier and as administrator of Mission San Jose. He received a land grant of 16,517 acres in the Amador-Livermore
Valley. He built many adobe homes and small buildings that were used as shops where his Native American workers made
soap, blankets, shoes, farm tools, and other products for use on his ranch.
In 1850, Michael Murray and Jeremiah Fallon came to this area from Ireland. They purchased 1,000 acres of land from Jose
Amador and built homes for their families. The area began to grow as many people settled in the area. In 1867, Alameda
County was created from parts of Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties. Both Murray and Fallon served on the Alameda
County Board of Supervisors.
By 1877, the first schoolhouse in the Amador-Livermore Valley was constructed in Dublin, along with a church, two hotels,
Green’s Store, a wagon and blacksmith shop, and a shoemaker’s shop. The Murray Schoolhouse, Green’s Store, St. Raymond’s
Church, and the old Pioneer Cemetery (where members of the Donner Party Expedition are buried) have been preserved and
are now located on Donlon Way. Back then, mail was delivered to the Dougherty Station Hotel. Thus, the area became known
as Dougherty’s Station. Subsequently, the area later became known as Dublin and in 1982, the City was incorporated.
Modern Day
The Tri-Valley area is made up of five cities and towns – Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton, along with San Ramon and the
Town of Danville located in nearby Contra Costa County. During the past 20 years, the Tri-Valley area has become a place of
prosperity, a center for internationally acclaimed business parks, home to some of the world’s largest corporations, as well as
known for its outstanding schools and variety of housing options.
Over 40 years, Dublin has emerged as a dynamic, thoughtfully planned community. Home to a wide mix of quality housing and
two pedestrian-oriented transit districts, Dublin is poised for continued prosperity. The community has continued to maintain
its small-town character and has become increasingly diverse. Its strong business climate, new and high-performing schools,
planned neighborhood developments, and award-winning parks and facilities, have contributed to a high quality of life for its
residents and businesses.

businesses on the horizon for 2026. The commercial and industrial markets also remain strong with occupancy rates at
approximately 80 percent and 83 percent, respectively.
According to the State of California Employment Development Department Labor Market Information Division's Monthly Labor
Force Data for Cities and Census Designated Places (CDP) preliminary report for March 2026, Dublin has a workforce of 35,900
people, and an unemployment rate of 4.1percent, which is lower than Alameda County’s 4.3 percent unemployment rate.

Computer/Mathematical 21%
Management 17%
Business/Financial Operations 10%
Office and Administrative Support 8%
Sales and Related 7%
Healthcare Practitioner/Technician 6%
Architecture/Engineering 5%

Dublin’s park system includes a broad variety of amenities designed to meet the evolving needs of the community, including
playgrounds, sports fields and courts, picnic areas, skate parks, swimming pools, splash pads, bocce ball courts, trails, dog
parks, and expansive turf areas for informal play and community gatherings. Community facilities further support the
community by offering spaces for events, meetings, classes, camps and enrichment programs for youth, adults, and seniors. In
2026, the City looks forward to opening the new Dublin Arts Center, which will expand opportunities for arts, culture, and
creative programming.
As Dublin continues to grow, the City remains committed to developing and enhancing parks and recreation amenities in
alignment with community needs and priorities identified in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Major park and facility
improvements in FY 2026-27 and 2027-28 include the design or construction of Poppy Meadow Park, Wild Wind Park, a linear
park within the Dublin Centre Development, and playground replacements at Ted Fairfield, Emerald Glen, and Kolb Park.
In addition to City-owned facilities, residents benefit from access to several regional parks and open space areas operated by
the East Bay Regional Park District. These regional amenities include the Dublin Hills Regional Preserve, Tassajara Creek Trail,
and the Iron Horse Regional Trail, which provide additional opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, cycling, nature
exploration, and regional outdoor recreation experiences.
Public Transportation
The Dublin community enjoys a variety of transportation options. Dublin has two BART stations that serve ridership in the Tri-
Valley and commuters from the Central Valley. The City is served by the Livermore Amador Valley Transportation Authority
(LAVTA) which provides Wheels bus transportation and connections to Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), the Altamont Commuter
Express (ACE) train, and to the Central Contra Costa Transportation Authority transportation lines.

Structure of Government
City Council – Five Members, Elected at-large
The City of Dublin is a general law city operating under a City Council-City Manager form of government. Historically,
Councilmembers were elected at-large and served the entire community rather than by district. However, in 2024, the City
Council began transitioning to district-based elections and currently two Councilmembers are elected at-large by the voters of
Dublin, and two Councilmembers were elected in district elections. In November 2026, the City Council will finish the transition
to district-based elections for Councilmembers, while maintaining an at-large Mayoral election. The four Councilmembers are
elected to four-year staggered terms; the Mayor is elected to a two-year term. The City Council establishes local law and
policies through the enactment of ordinances and resolutions. The City Council also determines how the City shall obtain and
spend funds, adopts a two-year budget process and a Two-Year Strategic Plan. The Mayor recommends, and the City Council
appoints, community members to serve on commissions, boards, and advisory committees and represents the City by serving
on regional and county committees and boards whose policies may impact Dublin and the Tri-Valley area (e.g., Associated Bay
Area Governments, League of California Cities, and Metropolitan Transportation Commission). The City Council appoints the
City Manager and City Attorney positions. A City Council position is a part-time and salaried position.
City Manager – Appointed by City Council
The City Manager is the Chief Executive Officer and is appointed by the City Council. The City Manager provides, in accordance
with the City Council policies, overall administration and direction for the City organization and operations. In the event of an
emergency, the position is designated to serve as the Director of Emergency Services. The City Manager position is a full-time,
salaried position.
City Attorney – Appointed by City Council
The City Attorney serves as legal counsel for the City Council. This position is responsible for providing both formal and
informal legal opinions, as well as advice to the City’s officers, employees, boards, and commissions. The duties of this position
also include the review and/or preparation of all contracts, bonds, deeds, leases, and other documents of legal significance.
This is a contract position.

Budget Accounting
In accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the City’s funds are grouped into three categories:
governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. Within each category, the funds are further classified into types such as general
funds, special revenue funds, etc. Additionally, the funds are divided between major and non-major categories. For budgeting
purposes, a major fund represents a fund or fund category that has revenues or expenditures that equals more than 10
percent of the City’s entire appropriated budget.
In governmental accounting, agencies report different kinds of information for different fund types, according to what and how
financial resources are measured. The “current financial resources” method measures an entity’s ability to pay obligations in
the near-term and focuses on cash and/or assets that are expected to be converted to cash within the accounting period, or
shortly thereafter. The “economic resources” method measures all assets that are available to the entity, not only cash or soon
to be cash.
Agencies also use different methods to recognize the timing of certain transactions. Under the “full accrual” accounting basis,
all assets are considered available to the governmental unit for the purpose of providing goods and services. Therefore,
transactions are recorded when the underlying action takes place, regardless of the actual cash flow timing. Under the
“modified accrual” basis, income is recorded using the accrual basis, but expenditures are recorded when they actually occur.
The City of Dublin complies with the GASB requirements and thus budgets and accounts for transactions based on the
following rules:

Modified accrual (60 days
after year-end)

Fiduciary

resources Full accrual
Furthermore, the City’s expenditure appropriations lapse at the fiscal year-end (June 30 ) but may be carried over for specific
purposes when approved by the City Manager. Encumbrances are considered expenditures in the year of the issuance of the
purchase order. If the encumbrance is unused at year-end, it is re-appropriated the following fiscal year.
A two-year budget is presented to the City Council prior to the beginning of the budget cycle. The Operating Budget is adopted
by the City Council on an annual basis. During mid-cycle, a review and update are prepared and presented to the City Council
for the adoption of the second year’s budget. The fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends June 30. Operating budgets are
controlled at the department level and fund level. The City Council may amend the budget during the fiscal year.
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is adopted on a multi-year project basis, where funds for specific projects receive an
annual appropriation and any unused appropriation may be re-appropriated the following year. The projects are budgeted and
constructed in phases, to allow for future planning and budgeting. CIP project budgets are adopted and controlled at the
project level and funding source level.
The Resolution to adopt the operating budget approved by the City Council may be found in the appendix of this document.
Included in the Resolution are guidelines for how the budget may be amended without City Council action. To summarize, the
City Manager may increase expense and revenue budgets for both operating budgets where there is a zero net impact on the
fund, appropriate funds from Committed and Assigned fund balances that have been approved by the City Council for specific

purposes, appropriate Internal Service fund balances that have been set aside for facilities, vehicle, and equipment
replacement purposes and transfer between capital improvement projects where the funding source is the same. All other
budgetary changes after budget adoption are subject to approval by the City Council.
In addition to budget amendments that may occur during the fiscal year, the Finance Director prepares and presents a mid-
year review of expenditures and revenues to the City Council. At that time, the Finance Director may recommend budget
amendments to the City Council for their consideration.

Fund Definitions
The funding received by public agencies generally has restrictions on how it may be utilized. For example, Gas Tax Revenue
must be spent on certain street-related improvements. In accordance with government auditing practices, agencies establish
separate funds to demonstrate compliance with the variety of restrictions.
There are three categories of Funds used in governmental accounting, which are classified further into Major and Non-Major
Funds:
Governmental Funds – Account for activities which are primarily tax-supported operations or other mandatory
payments and are virtually unique to government. Fund types are:
General – primary operating fund; accounts for all financial resources of the City except those required to be
accounted for in another fund. Use of these funds is discretionary in accordance with City Council policies, and
State and local laws.
Capital Project – accounts for the improvement, construction, or acquisition of fixed assets such as buildings,
facilities, equipment, and roads.
Debt Service – accounts for principal and interest of long-term debts.
Special Revenue – accounts for the use of revenues that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific
purposes.
Permanent – accounts for funds in which only interest earnings, and not principal amounts, are expendable. The
City does not use this type of fund.
Proprietary Funds – Account for activities that are primarily funded by income from operations resulting from voluntary
payments for goods and services provided to users. Fund types are:
Internal Service – used for operations serving other funds or departments within the government on a cost-
reimbursement basis.
Enterprise – Accounts for operations financed and operated similar to business activities, and services rendered to
the general public on a fee basis. The City does not use this type of fund.
Fiduciary Funds – Account for resources held by a governmental entity in a trustee or agency capacity for the benefit of
others, and which cannot be used to support the governmental entity. Fund Types are:
Agency – accounts for assets held by the City in a custodial capacity and paid to other individuals or organizations
(ex. assessment districts).
Trust – accounts for assets held by other parties (i.e., Pension or Retiree Health Trust).
Major Funds vs. Non-Major Funds – The General Fund is always a major fund. Other major funds have total assets,
liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses that are: 1) 10% or more of the corresponding element, excluding
extraordinary items, for all funds of that type; and 2) at least 5% of the corresponding element total for all governmental
and enterprise funds combined. All other funds are classified as non-major unless the City deems a certain fund of
interest or important to financial statements.

General Fund Reserve Details
RESERVES
Total General Fund reserves are projected at $290.7 million at the end of FY 2026-27, a projected decrease of $32.7 million
from FY 2025-26, mainly due to the continued use of the General Fund for capital improvement projects. The
unassigned/available cash reserve is projected at $62.1 million, before any designation by the City Council to specific
Committed reserves, and before Staff completes the necessary accounting adjustments to reserves at the end of the current
fiscal year. The City Council made preliminary reserve designations during the May 19, 2026 City Council meeting and will make
final reserve designations once the City has closed their books for the year, which typically occurs in late October/November.

General Fund Revenue
Total General Fund revenues, excluding transfers, are budgeted at $135.9 million and $138.1 million, in Fiscal Years 2026-27
and 2027-28 respectively, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.1 percent in the first year and $2.2 million or 1.6 percent in the
second year.
Dublin’s two largest ongoing revenue sources in the General Fund, Property Tax and Sales Tax, account for 70.2 percent of
total revenues in Fiscal Year 2026-27.

General Fund Revenue Assumptions
The following are the key assumptions used to construct the General Fund operating budget in Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-
28, and the variances from year to year (the two variance numbers represent the change in Fiscal Year 2026-27 from the Fiscal
Year 2027-28 Amended Budget, and the change in Fiscal Year 2027-28 from the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget). Descriptions are
provided for categories with variances of $150,000 or more.
Property Tax:+$1,455,325 / +$3,516,191
Property Tax, the City’s largest revenue source, has begun to show signs of slowing growth. While both fiscal years are still
projected to receive the annual 2 percent increase in assessed valuation permitted under Proposition 13, recent reports from
the County Assessor’s Office indicate that a greater number of properties than originally anticipated have been granted
Proposition 8 (Prop 8) reductions. As a result, projected Property Tax revenue in FY 2026-27 has been reduced by
approximately $529,200 (0.79%) from the amounts previously presented during the preliminary budget presentation. A
Proposition 8 reduction is a temporary decrease in a property’s assessed value that occurs when the property’s current market
value falls below its taxable value. Under Prop 8, the County Assessor may temporarily reduce the taxable value of a property
to reflect declining market conditions. These reductions are reviewed annually and may be restored in future years as property
values recover.
Assumptions
Total Property Tax revenue is projected to grow $1,455,325 (2.2%) in FY 2026-27 and $3,516,191(5.2%) in FY 2027-28. This
growth reflects an increase in assessed value due to the California CPI increase of 2 percent (the maximum allowable by
Proposition 13), and a decrease of approximately $400 million in valuation in FY 2026-27 due to the Prop 8 reductions.
Budgeted delinquency rate of 1.0 percent included in both fiscal years.
Sales Tax:+$358,636 / +$838,691
In late March, the City received an updated sales tax forecast reflecting a slight downward revision from the prior quarter. The
adjustment is based on an updated economic outlook from the City’s tax consultant, incorporating local and statewide trends
that indicate continued softness in consumer spending as households navigate higher prices and broader economic
uncertainty, including the effects of ongoing global conflicts.
This uncertainty is expected to have its most significant impact on the auto sector. While Dublin’s auto dealers have
demonstrated resilience over the past year, Staff and its consultants are closely monitoring recent global developments and
their projected effect on consumer spending. Specifically, energy market disruptions have contributed to higher fuel and
transportation costs, while elevated inflation and tariffs have increased the cost of goods, further straining household budgets.
Together, these pressures are affecting consumer purchasing patterns, particularly for high-cost discretionary items such as
automobiles, which represent nearly 40.0 percent of the City’s sales tax base. Staff will continue to monitor economic
conditions and sales trends closely, particularly within the automobile sector, as these factors play a key role in shaping near-
term revenue performance and long-term fiscal planning.
Assumptions
Total Sales Tax revenue is projected to increase $358,636 or 1.3 percent in Fiscal Year 2026-27 when compared to the FY
2025-26 Amended Budget despite a minor decrease of 0.4 percent in the Auto and Transportation sector. This decrease
is offset by a projected increase of 3.9 percent in Fuel and Service Stations, due to the continuing high fuel prices and a
2.3 percent increase in Restaurants & Hotels. All other industry groups in Fiscal Year 2026-27 are projected to remain flat
or have small increases, led by the General Consumer Goods.
Fiscal Year 2027–28 Sales Tax is projected to increase to $838,691 or 3.0 percent. City consultants anticipate the economy
to begin to rebound, led by a 4.0 percent increase in the Auto & Transportation sector, as well as projecting an increase
in all other sections ranging from 1.0 to 3.4 percent.
Other Taxes:+$182,545 / +$185,980
Other taxes include Property Transfer Tax and various franchise fees covering electric, gas, garbage, and cable services.
Revenue in both fiscal years is projected to increase primarily due to the annual garbage rate adjustment established in the
General Fund Operating Summary
Proposed Budget Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28 | Dublin Page 55
Attachment #2
537
franchise agreement, and increases in gas and electric rates. Property Transfer Tax revenue remains closely tied to housing
market conditions and has stayed near a 10-year low, reflecting subdued property sales activity. Cable franchise fee revenue
has continued its gradual decline over the past decade driven by cord-cutting trends.
Development Revenue: +$223,468 / -$1,454,211
Development revenue includes permitting fees and payments for planning and engineering services provided by the City.
Projections are based on the timing of development projects, coordinated between Staff and developers. Revenue is estimated
to increase slightly in FY 2026-27 relative to the FY 2025-26 Amended Budget, before declining in FY 2027-28 as active
development projects near completion.
As the City Council is aware, development projects progress through various stages and the receipt of revenues and
corresponding service (i.e., City costs) do not happen simultaneously. Plan check costs are typically incurred approximately 12
months after revenue has been received, meaning that as development decreases, the associated decrease in costs will lag. In
anticipation of this, the City has maintained a reserve (currently at $3.15 million) to cover costs during that lag.
Charges for Services: +$831,994 / +$240,458
Charges for Services revenue is derived predominately from Parks and Community Services (PCS) programs. The projected
increase in FY 2026-27 reflects the following:
Increases:
Opening of the Dublin Arts Center (partial year)
Addition of a ninth after-school program site
The Wave fee adjustment
Addition of new Special Event programming, including the Night Market and Community Garage Sale
Decreases:
Lower than projected attendance in the Jr. Warriors program
Loss of major contract vendor (Skyhawks)
Reduced Preschool enrollment
The modest growth projected in FY 2027-28 reflects a stabilization of PCS revenue following the FY 2026–27 expansions and
includes a full year of revenue from the Dublin Arts Center.
Non-PCS revenue includes administrative fees collected from the City’s contracted garbage collector (Amador Valley
Industries), projected to increase 5.0 percent, consistent with the franchise agreement, and emergency response
reimbursements from Alameda County for services at Santa Rita Jail, which are projected to remain flat.
Rents and Leases:+$303,045 / +$60,500
The FY 2026-27 increase is primarily driven by strong demand for field and court rentals and Shannon Community Center
rentals, as well as revenue associated with the opening of the Dublin Arts Center. It should be noted that these projections do
not reflect the proposed field rental fee adjustments approved in the Master Fee Schedule update, that will become effective
January 1, 2027. Staff will monitor the impact of the increased fee on field usage and adjust future revenue projections
accordingly.
Revenue projections for FY 2027-28 include a 5.7 percent increase in field and court rental revenue, with all other rental
categories remaining flat.
Other Revenue: -$613,428 / +$63,128
The Other Revenue category encompasses a wide variety of revenue types received by the City, including Sale of Property,
Sponsorship/Donation, and Reimbursements. These revenues can be unpredictable and vary moderately each year, so Staff
budgets only known payments and recurring items, incorporating adjustments as additional revenues are received.
Both fiscal years include reimbursements for work performed at Camp Parks through the Intergovernmental Support
Agreement, reimbursable work for Dublin San Ramon Services District, and PCS sponsorships and contributions. The FY 2026–
27 projection is in line with the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget, reflecting a year-over-year increase of $150,000. The decrease

relative to the FY 2025-26 Amended Budget is attributable to a mid-year budget adjustment that included $749,000 in one-time
tax credit revenue.

General Fund Expenditures
The City's ongoing operating expenditures and long-term financial liabilities continue to grow, as previously discussed
expenditures are now projected to eventually outpace the City's ongoing revenue growth in Fiscal Year 2030-31, absent any
significant additional revenues or cost-cutting measures. This is one year earlier than previously discussed during last year's
budget presentation. The Budget reflects an increase in total General Fund operating expenditures of $6.6 million (5.6%) in
Fiscal Year 2026-27 and an increase of $4.0 million (3.2%) in Fiscal Year 2027-28. The chart below presents the composition of
operating expenditures by category for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and is followed by a discussion of the assumptions used in
preparing the budget.

General Fund Expenditure Assumptions
The following are the key assumptions used to construct the General Fund operating budget in Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-
28, and the variances from year to year (the two variance numbers represent the change in Fiscal Year 2026-27 from the Fiscal
Year 2025-26 Amended Budget, and the change in Fiscal Year 2027-28 from the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget. Descriptions are
provided for categories with variances of $150,000 or more.
Personnel Costs: +$705,721 / +$959,015
The two-year budget proposal reflects an updated position allocation plan and projected salaries. The increase in the Fiscal
Year 2026-27 personnel costs is attributed to the net impact of the following:
Addition of an Environmental Coordinator in Public Works to support long-term sustainability goals and ensure
compliance with local and State mandates
Addition of a Maintenance Coordinator in Public Works to develop and implement an asset management plan and
provide contractor oversight
Addition of a Recreation Supervisor in PCS, replacing a part-time Office Assistant II, to oversee day-to-day operations of
the Dublin Arts Center in advance of its opening.
Flat seasonal staffing costs in FY 2026-27, with a slight increase projected in FY 2027-28
Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) of 1.9 percent and merit pay of 3.0 percent for full-time personnel in FY 2026-27
The Fiscal Year 2027-28 budget does not include any new positions. Increases are based on a projected cost-of-living
adjustment of 3.5 percent and merit pay of 3.0 percent for full-time personnel.
Benefit Costs: +$647,566/+$423,489
Benefit costs are predominantly made up of retirement and health benefit costs. To help mitigate these costs, the City has
implemented cost-sharing mechanisms with employees for both retirement and health benefits.
It must be noted that the City now has more employees in the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA)
retirement tier rather than in the Classic retirement tier, as a result of gradual workplace turnover. PEPRA benefits are
generally less costly than Classic retirement formulas, resulting in lower long-term employer pension obligations and reduced
ongoing retirement costs for the City. While these savings will not result in immediate savings, as workforce turnover
continues overtime, this transition is expected to help moderate future pension cost growth and provide long-term savings to
the City’s operating budget.
Supplies and Services: -$951,144 / +$197,694
Services and Supplies expenditures for Fiscal Year 2026-27 are decreasing due to the City implementing a budget realignment
for liability insurance costs associated with contracted Police and Fire services. These costs will be moved from Services and
Supplies to Contracted Services to more accurately reflect the nature of the expenditures and ensure consistent treatment of
all third-party liability costs, resulting in a reallocation of approximately $1.7 million in FY 2026-27 and $2.0 million in FY 2027-
28.
When factoring out the budget realignment, Services and Supplies are projected to increase in both years. These increases are
driven by higher insurance premiums through PLAN Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA), the City’s insurance pool, and the
addition of the City’s self-funded workers’ compensation program. Rising insurance costs have been a recurring trend
statewide, and Dublin’s experience is consistent with that of other California municipalities. Liability insurance through PLAN
JPA is projected to increase to approximately $400,000 (15.0 percent) in FY 2026-27 and $360,000 (11.0 percent) in FY 2027-28.
The FY 2026–27 rates remain preliminary but are not expected to shift significantly, while the FY 2027–28 figures are based on
PLAN JPA estimates and should be considered a placeholder pending more current information.
FY 2026-27 will mark the first year the new workers’ compensation program is reflected in the budget. As the program
launched January 1, 2026, the FY 2026-27 budget includes only six months of excess insurance costs to align the program with
the fiscal year. The full cost beginning in FY 2027-28 is projected at approximately $140,000 annually.
Excluding insurance, Services and Supplies costs are flat in FY 2026-27, with FY 2027-28 reflecting a decrease attributable to
one-time costs associated with the opening of the Dublin Arts Center.

Utilities: +76,850 / +$222,900
The Budget includes a minor increase in utilities in Fiscal Year 2026-27 which is the net result of the effect of the energy
efficiency projects coming online and increases in utility rates. Fiscal Year 2026-27 includes increases for electricity and potable
water, which are offset by a projected decrease in recycled water and are based on updated projected usage. Fiscal Year 2027-
28 includes an increase based on projected rate increases in electric and gas as well as costs associated with new facilities
coming online.
Internal Service Charges: +581,790 / +584,021
Internal Service Charges include the replacement cost of facilities, vehicles, and equipment, in addition to the, IT operating
budget. The projected increases in both fiscal years are primarily driven by higher IT operating costs and increased
contributions to the City’s replacement funds.
Technology-related costs are funded through the IT Fund and allocated to departments based on service usage and equipment
assignments. These costs have risen steadily over the past five years as the City continues to expand its technological
capabilities. Contributions to replacement funds have similarly increased to ensure adequate resources are set aside for future
capital needs as the City’s infrastructure continues to age. City staff is currently undertaking a comprehensive asset inventory,
once finalized, any identified funding deficiencies may necessitate adjustments to annual ISF contributions to ensure sufficient
resources are available for future replacements.
Contract Services: +$6,110,195 / +$1,582,800
The City contracts for Public Safety (Police and Fire), maintenance, development, and other miscellaneous services and
represents the City’s largest expenditure category. In Fiscal Year 2026-27, total contracted services make up 64.1 percent of the
overall General Fund expenditure budget and include projected increases of 8.3 percent ($6.1 million) in FY 2026-27 and 2.0
percent ($1.6 million) in FY 2027-28. These General Fund increases are primarily attributable to the revised maintenance
agreement with MCE Corporation, an 8.5 percent increase in the Fire Services agreement, and a 1.0 percent increase in the
Police Services agreement.

Increases are proposed for the Police Services contract with Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO), as shown in the table

* The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Fund accounts for excise taxes that fund the cost of providing emergency medical
services (e.g., paramedic services).
** The Internal Service Fund (ISF) accounts for the purchase of replacement vehicles and equipment.
The FY 2026-27 and 2027-28 budget amounts reflect annual increases of 8.5 percent in Fiscal Year 2026-27 and 4.7 percent in
Fiscal Year 2027-28, and are based on the following factors:
An 11.0 percent increase for unrepresented employees, resulting from a comprehensive classification and compensation
study conducted by Alameda County Fire
A 3.4 percent pay rate increase for Safety members in January 2026
A 4.0 percent pay rate increase for Safety members in January 2027
An 11.2 percent increase in CalPERS retirement costs, reflecting higher wages and an increased CalPERS retirement rate
A 5.6 percent increase in projected health care premium costs
No additional staffing in either fiscal year
Additional cost increases reflect a 6.6 percent increase in Services and Supplies, attributable to higher dispatch costs and
uniform and personal protective equipment costs as required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) trust for Fire retiree health benefits remains super-funded due to prior-year
contributions. As a result, OPEB costs will be paid from the trust, generating General Fund savings of approximately $691,000
in FY 2026-27 and $732,000 in FY 2027-28.

Development-related and other general City contract costs are budgeted according to anticipated service levels for specific
projects, and are projected to increase by $1.5 million in Fiscal Year 2026-27, due to increases in Development related contract
expenditures. Development p rojections are based on the timing of development projects, coordinated between City staff and
developers. Revenue is estimated to decrease in FY 2027-28 as active development projects near completion. Additionally, the
decrease in contract expenditures in the FY 2027-28 is the result of one-time costs being budgeted in FY 2026-27 and not FY
2027-28, including the fire station building assessment and the November 2026 election.

Accomplishments for Fiscal Year 2024-25 and
2025-26
Maintained and enhanced the quality of life in Dublin by collaborating and building strong partnerships with the citizens
of Dublin.
Worked with the City Manager to evaluate and plan for current and future staffing needs for the Police Department.
Rolled out the flock camera system, to continue efforts to utilize technology to assist in the day-to-day operations.
Completed the renovation to the DPS Police Chief’s Conference Room which included the implementation of technology
(large interactive touch screen monitor) to assist in seamlessly providing information during critical incidents.
Completed station-wide training for supervisors. In 2025, DPS facilitated comprehensive supervisor training which was
presented by "Why’d You Stop Me" aimed at enhancing frontline law enforcement leadership, supervisory decision-
making, addressing performance issues, and addressing morale concerns of subordinate leaders.
Completed an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) operation. In September 2025, DPS in conjunction with the Federal
Bureau of Investigations (FBI) conducted a joint operation titled the Child Exploitation Under Cover (UC) Chat. During this
two-day operation, multiple suspects engaged in conversations with law enforcement officers, believing they were
speaking with juveniles. These conversations ultimately led to the arrest of three suspects during the operation, and one
suspect following the operation’s conclusion.
Conducted tobacco enforcement operations. On September 29, 2025, DPS’ collaboration with the Alameda County
Tobacco Retail Enforcement Network (ACTREN) and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA)
culminated with a retail tobacco inspection at a business whose owner has been in violation of local Dublin Municipal
Codes pertaining to furnishing tobacco products to minors. Furthermore, this business had been operating without a
tobacco retail license in close proximity to Dublin High School for almost a year. As a result of this inspection, the CDTFA
collected and confiscated 72 boxes of tobacco/nicotine/vape related products, all of which they were prohibited from
possessing.
Assisted with the organization and security for numerous high-profile events throughout the city which fostered stronger
relations, not only with the citizens of Dublin, but with numerous visitors to the city. Those events included the Saint
Patrick’s Day Festival (a two-day event), participating in the Special Olympics torch run, the fourth of July safe and sane
fireworks detail, the National Night Out community engagement program, the Splatter Art and Wine Festival, and the City
of Dublin annual tree-lighting event.
Launched a seven-part video series on e-bikes, e-scooters, and micromobility devices and launched a webpage with
additional resources and information in collaboration with the Community Engagement Division.
Hosted a Prescription Drug and Fentanyl Safety Community Forum in partnership with the National Coalition Against
Prescription Drug Abuse at Emerald High School.

Capital Improvement Program Overview
The 2026-31 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes 18 projects within the CIP time frame with a funding
allocation for 11 of the projects in Fiscal Year 2026-27 and 7 of the projects in Fiscal Year 2027-28.
The City’s Capital Projects are divided into four Capital Funds: General Improvements, Public Arts, Parks, and Streets projects.
The Fund accumulates resources for capital expenditures and utilizes those resources to support projects that promote or
enhance redevelopment, revitalization, or beautification of the City’s infrastructure; projects that would construct, improve, or
enhance the City’s parks and facilities; and projects that would construct, improve, or enhance the City’s trails, highways,
streets, roads, bridges, street lighting, and storm drain systems.

owned facilities; 3) replacement of office equipment, computers, network infrastructure, solar equipment, telephone systems,
etc.; 4) IT operational costs; 5) City employees Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) and 6) City Self Insured Workers
Compensation Program
Each City operating department budget includes charges for equipment usage. The Internal Service Fund charges in
departments translate to revenue in the Internal Services Funds. Department charges are established at a level to sufficiently
accumulate funds over time for the replacement of the equipment and funding for IT costs.
The total Internal Service Funds budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $7,625,957, and the projected budget for Fiscal Year 2027-28
is $7,453,690 (excludes depreciation expense and transfers). Planned Internal Service Fund purchases are related to building
maintenance, replacement of network servers and computers, replacement of police patrol cars, and retiree health costs.
The following are the fund summaries for Internal Service Funds:

Dublin Crossing CFD 2015-I (5102)
In November 2013, the City Council adopted the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan (DCSP) relating to the private development of
approximately 189 acres on a portion of the Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (Camp Parks) in the City of Dublin. The DCSP
includes provisions for the demolition of existing buildings and other improvements on the site and construction of a
residential mixed-use project with up to 1,995 single- and multifamily residential units; a 30-acre Community Park; and a 12-
acre school site.
The City Council also approved a development agreement with the Developer which outlined their intention to propose the
formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) by the City pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. A
CFD is a defined geographic area in which the City is authorized to levy annual special taxes to either finance directly the costs
of specified public improvements, or to pay debt service on bonds issued to finance the public improvements, as well as to pay
costs of administering the CFD.
On June 2, 2015, the City Council adopted the Resolution of Formation (Reso 96-15), establishing Community Facilities District
No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing). In August 2017, the City issued $32.7 million in bonds on behalf of the CFD. In July 2019, the City
issued $37.7 million in bonds on behalf of the CFD. In August 2021, the City issued $26 million in bonds on behalf of the CFD. In
September 2022, the City issued $21.72 million in bonds on behalf of the CFD. In December 2023, the City issued $18.65 million
in bonds on behalf of the CFD.

Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts (GHAD)
A Geologic Hazard Abatement District (District or GHAD) is a state-level entity which is established separate from the City of
Dublin and applies to a specific defined area within the City. The District is formed under provisions in the California Public
Resources Code which establishes in Section 26500 that a District is a political subdivision of the State and is not an agency or
instrumentality of a local agency.
The City’s role is limited to providing support to the District, coordinating activities undertaken for the District, administering
the District funds, and coordinating the payment of expenses associated with the District. GHAD funding is collected as a
supplemental assessment on property tax bills. The District can perform maintenance on defined areas and can also
accumulate reserves to address major or extraordinary work such as a landslide repair.
The Public Resources Code defines a “geologic hazard” as an actual or threatened landslide, land subsidence, soil erosion,
earthquake, fault movement, or any other natural or unnatural movement of land or earth. A District may be formed for the
following purposes: (a) Prevention, mitigation, abatement, or control of a geologic hazard; or (b) Mitigation or abatement of
structural hazards that are partly or wholly caused by geologic hazards (Public Resources Code 26525).
The City of Dublin has established three separate Districts: Fallon Village Geologic Hazard Abatement District, Schaefer Ranch
Geologic Hazard Abatement District, and Fallon Crossing Geologic Hazard Abatement District. These Districts are managed by a
Board of Directors, which is composed of members of the City Council. Assessments are levied in accordance with an
Engineer’s Report prepared for each District and adopted at a public meeting.
Information in this section is presented for informational purposes since these activities are not a direct obligation of the City
of Dublin.

and control of identified or potential geologic hazards within the GHAD’s boundary. The boundary of the Positano
development encompasses approximately 175 acres of land, located generally east of Fallon Road.
On May 3, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 52-11 approving the annexation of the Jordan Ranch development
into the Fallon Village GHAD. The boundary of the GHAD with both Positano and Jordan Ranch developments encompasses a
total of approximately 674 acres of land, located generally east of Fallon Road.
On February 21, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-23 approving the annexation of the East Ranch development
into the Fallon Village GHAD. Upon completion of the development and transfer to the GHAD, the East Ranch development will

Fallon Crossing (North Tassajara) Geologic
Hazard Abatement District
The Fallon Crossing Geologic Hazard Abatement District was established in accordance with a condition of approval for the Fall
Crossing (The Chateau) development project. On August 16, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 147-11 which creat
the Fallon Crossing Geologic Hazard Abatement District. The GHAD was formed to provide a mechanism for the preventio
mitigation, abatement, and control of identified or potential geologic hazards within the GHAD’s boundary. The boundary of T
Chateau development encompasses approximately 68 acres of land located on the northeast side of Tassajara Road. The GHA
recently accepted Plan-of-Control Responsibilities for the Chateau development.
On June 6, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 66-17 approving the annexation of the Tassajara Hills development in
the Fallon Crossing GHAD. The boundary of the Tassajara Hills development encompasses a total of approximately 293 acres
land in the northeast corner of the City. The GHAD has not accepted transfer and maintenance responsibilities within the Tassaja
Hills development yet, therefore the development does not receive any GHAD services at this time.
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, a total of 477 parcels were subject to the levy of an assessment which represents all of the planned
residential units within both The Chateau and Tassajara Hills developments. No additional residential parcels are estimated to

California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust
(CERBT)
The State of California Public Employees Retirement System (CALPERS) developed the CERBT to allow public agencies to invest
money in a trust mechanism to fund other post-employment benefits (OPEB), otherwise known as retiree health care.
The City of Dublin Retiree Health Plan is a single-employer defined benefit health care plan administered by CalPERS. The plan
provides medical insurance benefits to eligible retiree and their eligible dependents in accordance with the State Public
Employee Retirement Law.
During the Fiscal Year 2006-07, the City made arrangements with CALPERS for the initial establishment of the trust and
transferred $5.5 million into the trust. The City has established a policy to make annual contribution for the purpose of funding
the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) when there are no budget constraints. The ARC amount is determined by an Actuarial
Study which is required to be updated biennially. The City’s OPEB is currently super-funded, there is no ARC budget included in
the next two fiscal years. It is important to note that the CERBT funds are not controlled by the City, as they are assets
held by and distributed by CalPERS. This page is included in the budget document for informational purposes only.

Human Services Grants Program
This years grants were approved as part of a two-year grant cycle approved by the Human Services Commission on March 27,
2025 and the City Council on May 6, 2025. The City of Dublin is anticipating a reduced allocation of Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funding for Fiscal Year 2026-27. In recent years, the City has benefited from utilizing unallocated CDBG
funding by participating in the Urban County CDBG program administered by Alameda County. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, it is
anticipated the City will only receive its base allocation as other participating jurisdictions in the Urban County program will
begin utilizing previously unused allocations. This will result in a projected reduction of $42,000. Further discussion on
funding for the FY 2026-27 Human Services Grants program, will take place on June 2, 2026, during the Budget Adoption
Hearing agenda item. The final allocations will be updated based on City Council Direction.

Fund Balance and Reserve Policy
General Fund and Other Governmental Funds
(Updated June 2015)
This document shall establish the foundation for the components of fund balance and provide requirements for maintaining
reasonable levels of reserves in governmental funds, with a focus on the General Fund. The presentation of fund balances is
also presented in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and the official City financial records. This document is
intended to comply with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54. In the event of a conflict
between this policy and the provisions of GASB Statement No. 54 the accounting statement shall prevail.
In accordance with the requirements of GASB, the City Council also confirms as part of this policy the order of expenditures
from resources available. The City considers “Restricted” amounts to have been spent prior to “unrestricted” amounts when an
expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both are available (“unrestricted” would include Committed, Assigned, and
Unassigned). Similarly, when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted
classifications of fund balance could be used, the City considers “Committed” amounts to be reduced first, followed by
assigned amounts and then the unassigned amounts.
A. POLICY OBJECTIVES
The City of Dublin’s Fund Balance and Reserves Policy has four primary objectives:
Determine available liquid resources;
Classify fund balances in accordance with GASB 54;
Define the methodology of allocating net resources; and
Provide information needed to make informed financial decisions.
Periodically the City Manager may recommend to the City Council a review of this policy based on overall City initiatives and
current balances. Any adjustments to the policy shall be adopted by the City Council.
B. CLASSIFICATION OF FUND BALANCES
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 54 and as reported in the City’s financial statements, fund balances are identified by
the following five fund balance classifications:
I.Non-spendable Fund Balance
Non-spendable fund balances are amounts in a form that cannot be spent because they are either (a) in a non-spendable form
such as pre-paid items, inventories, or loans receivable; or (b) they have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors,
contributors, laws, regulations, etc. However, if the use of the proceeds from the collection of those receivables or from the
sale of those properties is restricted, committed, or assigned, then they should be included in the appropriate fund balance
classification (restricted, committed, or assigned), rather than non-spendable fund balance.
The following are items that are expected to be recorded as “Non-spendable”:
Prepaid Expenditures: The portion of fund balance that represents the asset amount of prepaid expenditures, held by a given
fund.
Endowments: The portion of fund balance established as an endowment by the donor and in which the principal balance is not
intended for expenditure.
Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
Proposed Budget Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28 | Dublin Page 229
Attachment #2
711
Advances To Other Funds: The portion of the fund balance that represents the asset amount of cash advanced to other funds,
held by a given fund.
Notes / Loans Receivable: The portion of fund balance that represents the asset amount of notes or loans receivable, held by a
given fund.
II. Restricted Fund Balance
Restricted Fund Balance shall reflect that portion of fund balance that reflects constraints placed on the use of resources
(other than non-spendable items) that are either: (a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants),
grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) Imposed by law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.
The following are items that are expected to be recorded as “Restricted”:
Public Safety Special Revenue Funds: The portion of fund balances derived from funds collected to be used for Public Safety
related activities.
Transportation Special Revenue Funds: The portion of fund balances derived from funds collected to be used for
Transportation related activities.
Environmental Special Revenue Funds: The portion of fund balances derived from funds collected to be used for
Environmental related activities.
Parks Special Revenue Funds: The portion of fund balances derived from funds collected to be used for Parks related activities.
Assessment District Special Revenue Funds: The portion of fund balances derived from funds collected to be used for Public
Safety and Transportation related activities, consistent with the purpose under which the fee is collected.

Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
Proposed Budget Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28 | Dublin Page 231
Attachment #2
713
The City Council has authorized the City Manager or his/her designee to make assignments in accordance with this policy and
in conformance with any formal direction provided by the City Council.
Accrued Leave Subject To Year End Calculations: Certain fund balances are calculated based on the financial performance of
the reporting period including accrued Leave. These amounts fluctuate each year and are reflected as part of the year-end
financial statements.
Carry-Over Items (Operating Budget & Capital Improvement Projects): Fund balance may be assigned for operating
expenditures (excluding personnel costs) which were not expended in the current year and the expense will occur in the
following year, i.e., encumbrances. Similarly, a Capital Improvement Project may have funds allocated in a specific year and the
project remains incomplete at year end. The City Manager or his/her designee may assign fund balance representing the
unexpended funds. These funds are available for authorized appropriations in the subsequent year.
Non-Streets Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Reserve: The portion of General Fund Balance intended to fund future non-
streets capital projects, where total funding may not currently be known, and for which lump sum amounts will be set aside
over time. These funds are available for authorized appropriations in the subsequent year.
Carry-Over Fiscally Responsible Adjustment: In any year that an appropriation was made to the contingency For Fiscally
Responsible Adjustment the unused fund balance may be assigned as a carry-over for personnel costs. The City Manager or
his/her designee may assign fund balance representing the unexpended funds. These funds are available for authorized
appropriations in the subsequent year in conformance with personnel policies and procedures.
Catastrophic Facility / Infrastructure Loss & City Business Recovery: The City Council recognizes the importance to maintain
funds to recover from a catastrophic loss which are unexpected and incur more than $500,000 in expenses to public facilities
and infrastructure. This may also be used for short-term recovery and business operations following a catastrophic loss
pending the reimbursement from insurance or grants to the extent that they are available. The balance is established in the
General Fund and the expenditure shall be made only by City Council appropriation, which shall include a special emergency
appropriation. The target established for the maximum balance in this category is an amount equal to 15% of the reported
book value of the City owned Buildings and Improvements recorded as Capital assets.
Service Continuity Obligations: The City Council recognizes the importance to maintain funds for continued obligations to
provide Building and Safety inspections in the event that program supporting fees are collected in one year and the
expenditures occur in a subsequent year. The City Council hereby establishes as policy that the assigned funds shall not
exceed 125% of the budgeted Building and Safety Division operating cost.
Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits: The City Council recognizes that investment earnings can fluctuate from year to
year, and they are an important component of the funding of retiree benefits. Investment performance impacts annual
contributions and expenditures made towards retiree obligations. The intent of the City Council is to establish a fund balance
that can provide supplemental financing to lessen the impacts from decreases in investment performance on retiree
obligations. The City Manager or designee may allocate from what would otherwise be “Unassigned” fund balance to increase
the fund balance. The use of funds from this fund balance may be used: (a) if the City Employer share of the Public Employee
Retirement System (PERS) rate increases by 3 percent; and / or (b) If the City Annual Required Contribution (ARC) for retiree
medical benefits increases by 3 percent or more; and / or (c) If the City Council by majority vote authorizes a lump sum use of
the fund balance to reduce pension or OPEB liabilities.
Assigned for Specific Projects: The portion of fund balance that is intended to be used to fund design, improvements, and
equipment required for a variety of capital improvement projects, via recommendation of either the City Council or the City
Manager. Specific assigned reserves will be identified with the Resolution Authorizing Special Designations of General Fund
Reserves, to be considered for adoption by the City Council prior to the end of each fiscal year. This reserve category replaces
all subcategories for specific projects, except for the reserves listed here separately, which are more long term in nature
and/or are considered contingency reserves to be used in the case of specific fiscal necessity.
IV. Unassigned Fund Balance (General Fund Only)
Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
Proposed Budget Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28 | Dublin Page 232
Attachment #2
714
Unassigned fund balance represents amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned and is available for any
purpose. The City Council at its discretion may modify unassigned fund balance and designate in the future an intended
“Commitment” or “Assignment.”
Unrealized Gain on Investments: Used to account for that portion of fund balance that is the result of unrealized investment
gains that have been recorded in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 31.
Unassigned For Cash Flow Purposes: The City Council recognizes the importance to maintain funds for cash flow purposes to
balance the fact that the receipt of major revenues and major expenditure disbursements are not evenly distributed
throughout the year. The City Council establishes as policy that this fund balance shall be at a minimum equal to two months
of budgeted operating expenditures with a goal to achieve a maximum of four months. As part of the annual budget
appropriation the City Council may also appropriate as a source of funding “Unrestricted – Capital Contribution” from this
source. This shall typically be done only for high priority one-time capital expenditures, provided the minimum fund balance
would remain.
C. CHANGES IN GENERAL FUND RESOURCES
In accordance with the requirements of GASB the City Council also confirms as part of this policy how General Fund resources
shall impact changes in balances.
Revenue Sources Allocated to Fire OPEB: The entire amount of the General Fund resources derived from the repayment of
funds advanced to the PERS Side Fund, shall be assigned to the Fire OPEB Committed Balance, until such time that either there
are no longer any repayments made, or the balance equals $8.6 million, whichever occurs first.
Revenue Sources Allocated to Service Continuity: If the “Assigned” balance is below the target maximum of 125% of Building &
Safety Expenditures, the following criteria shall be used for calculating an adjustment. The Administrative Services Director
shall complete an analysis of major building permits issued in the period April – June and shall assign an allocation of the
portion of revenue that is expected to be related to expenditures occurring in the subsequent year. The amount derived shall
be recommended to the City Manager. If annual building permit revenue is less than the annual Building and Safety
expenditures, the City Manager is authorized to reduce the assigned amount by the amount necessary to balance revenues
and expenditures.
Allocation of Residual Resources: When there are net resources in excess of what is classified as Non-spendable, Restricted,
Committed, and/or Assigned, and after maintaining the minimum level of unassigned cash-flow funding, those resources shall
be allocated as follows: a) 50% to Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits; and b) 50% to Non-Streets CIP Reserve.

Legal Debt Limit
The following table illustrates the City’s most recent debt limit over a five-year period, as presented in the Fiscal Year 2024-
2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of
15% of gross assessed valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based on 25% of market
value. Effective with FY 1981-82, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in
ownership for that parcel). The computations shown below reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year
from the current full valuation to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin for local governments
was enacted by the State. Only voter approved debt is calculated towards the debt limit.

Debt Service Schedule
The City issued 2021 lease revenue bonds to finance energy efficiency capital improvements, the City received S&P Global ‘AAA’
issuer credit rating (ICR) and ‘AA+’ long-term rating for Dublin Financing Authority, the entity issuing the revenue bonds.
Payment of debt service of the bonds is a liability of the General Fund. In addition to payment of the annual debt service, the
City has created a Lease Revenue Bond Early Payoff Reserve with the anticipation of fully paying the remaining debt when the
bonds become eligible to be paid off in 2029. The Reserve, as of June 30, 2026, has $10 million set aside, with the City
anticipating contributing an additional $1 million per year, during the year-end reserve designation process. The prepayment
of the City’s debt is projected to save the City approximately $3 million.

DATE: April 21, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28
Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Finance Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive an overview of the preliminary two-year General Fund budget, as
well as an update to the City’s 10-year Financial Forecast. The 2026-2031 Capital
Improvement Program is presented under a separate item.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report and provide direction in preparing the final Fiscal Year 2026-27 and Fiscal
Year 2027-28 Budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27, the Preliminary Budget reflects total General Fund revenues of
$136,485,879 and total expenditures of $126,270,319; and in Fiscal Year 2027-28, revenues
of $138,539,839 and expenditures of $132,177,145.
Transfers out to Capital Improvement Program projects and contributions to Internal Service
Funds total $7,900,000 and $8,350,000 in FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28, respectively. This will
result in an increase to the General Fund of $2,454,294 in FY 2026-27 and a $1,845,796
decrease in FY 2027-28. Based on the updated 10-Year Forecast, the projected operating
deficit continues to show in Fiscal Year 2030-31.
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 which projections are
revised and changes highlighted. This year’s budget cycle represents the first year of this
731
Page 2 of 12
process.
The focus of this report will be the General Fund, as no major budgetary changes are
proposed in other funds. Also included is the u pdated 10-Year General Fund Forecast, which
provides context for the two-year budget proposals.
The Preliminary Budget is in a positive position, with General Fund operating surpluses of
$10,215,559 and $6,362,694 in FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28, respectively, before contributions
to capital improvement projects and preventative maintenance. After transfers out, the result is
a net increase to reserves of $2,454,294 in FY 2026-27 and a net decrease of $1,845,796 in
FY 2027-28. Changes by category are explained in the section below, focusing on major
categories and including the assumptions used in the 10-Year Forecast.
Revenues
Property Tax
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $1,984,525 (3.0%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $3,414,815 (5.0%)
Property tax revenues are based on projections from the City’s tax consultant, incorporating a
2.0 percent annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment to assessed property value (the
maximum permitted under Proposition 13), as well as increases in valuation from home sales
and new construction.
New construction activity and home sales have slowed in recent years and are expected to
continue at a modest pace in FY 2026-27, with assessed property value projected to grow by
3.3 percent. Beginning in FY 2027-28 and through Year 5 of the 10-Year Forecast, assessed
valuation growth is projected at 5.0 percent annually, driven by new development, a projected
increase in home sales, and new construction coming to market. This incorporates a 2.0
percent CPI adjustment and anticipated transfer of ownership activity. Growth is projected at
2.5 percent annually in Years 6 through 10. A delinquency rate of 1.0 percent annually has
also been applied.
Sales Tax
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $358,636 (1.3%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $838,691 (3.0%)
In late March, the City received an updated sales tax forecast reflecting a slight downward
revision from the prior quarter. The adjustment is based on an updated economic outlook from
the City’s tax consultant, incorporating local and statewide trends that indicate continued
softness in consumer spending as households navigate higher prices and broader economic
uncertainty, including the effects of ongoing global conflicts.
This uncertainty is expected to have its most significant impact on the auto sect or. While
Dublin’s auto dealers have demonstrated resilience over the past year, Staff and its
consultants are closely monitoring recent global developments and their projected effect on
consumer spending. Specifically, energy market disruptions have contributed to higher fuel
732
Page 3 of 12
and transportation costs, while elevated inflation and tariffs have increased the cost of goods,
further straining household budgets. Together, these pressures are affecting consumer
purchasing patterns, particularly for high-cost discretionary items such as automobiles, which
represent nearly 40.0 percent of the City’s sales tax base.
Despite this revision, sales tax revenue is still anticipated to increase in both FY 2026-27 and
FY 2027-28 relative to the FY 2025-26 Amended Budget, as reflected in the table below.
Table 1: Sales Tax Projections
FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27 FY 2027-28
Amended Budget $27,574,345
December Projection $28,316,873 $28,665,605 $29,587,570
March Projection $27,921,866 $27,932,981 $28,771,672
Staff will continue to monitor economic conditions and sales trends closely, particularly within
the automobile sector, as these factors play a key role in shaping near-term revenue
performance and long-term fiscal planning.
Looking ahead, the 10-Year Forecast assumes annual growth of 3.0 percent in Years 3 and 4,
and 2.5 percent in Years 5 through 10. All revenue sharing agreements have been factored
into these projections.
Development
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $223,468 (2.3%)
FY 2027-28 - Decrease of $1,454,211 (14.3%)
Development revenue includes permitting fees and payments for planning and engineering
services provided by the City. Projections are based on the timing of development pro jects,
coordinated between Staff and developers. Revenue is estimated to increase slightly in FY
2026-27 relative to the FY 2025-26 Amended Budget, before declining in FY 2027-28 as active
development projects near completion.
It should be noted that revenues and their corresponding costs are not realized
simultaneously. Plan check costs are typically incurred approximately 12 months after revenue
is received, meaning that as development activity decreases, the associated reduction in costs
will trail accordingly. In anticipation of this, the City has maintained the Service Continuity
Reserve, currently at $3.2 million, to cover costs during that period.
Looking ahead, the 10-Year Forecast projects development revenue to remain flat in Years 3
and 4, followed by steady declines from Year 5 through Year 10 as the community approaches
build-out.
733
Page 4 of 12
Other Taxes
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $182,545 (2.5%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $185,980 (2.5%)
Other Taxes include Property Transfer Tax and various franchise fees covering electric, gas,
garbage, and cable services. Revenue in both fiscal years is projected to increase primarily
due to the annual garbage rate adjustment established in the franchise agreement, as well as
increases in gas and electric rates.
Property Transfer Tax revenue remains closely tied to housing market conditions and has
stayed near a 10-year low, reflecting subdued property sales activity. Cable franchise fee
revenue has continued its gradual decline over the past decade driven by cord -cutting trends.
The 10-Year Forecast projects overall annual growth of 3.0 percent, reflecting the steady rate
adjustments in utility franchise fees offsetting the continued softness in transfer tax and cable
revenues.
Charges for Services
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $831,994 (11.8%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $240,458 (3.1%)
Charges for Services revenue is derived predominately from Parks and Community Services
(PCS) programs. The projected increase in FY 2026-27 reflects the following:
Increases:
Opening of the Dublin Arts Center (partial year)
Addition of a ninth after-school program site
The Wave fee adjustment
Addition of new Special Event programming, including the Night Market and Community
Garage Sale
Decreases:
Lower than projected attendance in the Jr. Warriors program
Loss of major contract vendor (Skyhawks)
Reduced Preschool enrollment
The modest growth projected in FY 2027-28 reflects a stabilization of PCS revenue following
the FY 2026-27 expansions and includes a full year of revenue from the Dublin Arts Center.
Non-PCS revenue includes administrative fees collected from the City’s contracted garbage
collector (Amador Valley Industries), projected to increase 5.0 percent consistent with the
franchise agreement, and emergency response reimbursements from Alameda County for
services at Santa Rita Jail, which are projected to remain flat. The 10-Year Forecast assumes
2.0 percent annual growth across all Charges for Services revenue.
Interest
FY 2026-27 - Decrease of $2,976,400 (28.1%)
734
Page 5 of 12
FY 2027-28 - Decrease of $1,295,400 (17.0%)
Staff and the City’s consultants anticipate that interest rates will decline over the next two
years, though uncertainty remains regarding the timing and magnitude of potential Federal
Reserve rate adjustments. Given this uncertainty, Staff has taken a co nservative approach to
forecasting interest revenue.
The projected decrease of $2.97 million in FY 2026-27 is driven primarily by the planned
drawdown of General Fund reserves to support Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
expenditures as well as anticipated rate cuts, bringing the projection in line with the FY 2025–
26 Adopted Budget. A further decline of approximately $1.29 million (17.0 percent), is
projected in FY 2027-28, reflecting continued CIP spending and additional anticipated rate
reductions. Staff will continue to monitor Federal Reserve actions in coordination with City
consultants and adjust projections as needed throughout the fiscal year. Looking ahead, the
10-Year Forecast projects interest revenue to remain flat in Years 3 and 4, followed b y annual
decreases thereafter as the City draws down planned General Fund Reserve spending and
interest rates continue to decline.
Rentals and Leases
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $303,045 (13.9%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $60,500 (2.4%)
The FY 2026-27 increase is primarily driven by strong demand for field and court rentals and
Shannon Community Center rentals, as well as revenue associated with the opening of the
Dublin Arts Center. It should be noted that these projections do not reflect the proposed field
rental fee adjustments approved in the Master Fee Schedule update, that will become effective
January 1, 2027. Staff will monitor the impact of the increased fee on field usage and adjust
future revenue projections accordingly.
Revenue projections for FY 2027-28 include a 5.7 percent increase in field and court rental
revenue, with all other rental categories remaining flat. The 10-Year Forecast assumes 3.0
percent annual growth, with revenue projections to be reevaluated as the effect of any fee
adjustments on utilization becomes clearer.
Other Revenue
FY 2026-27 - Decrease of $613,428 (18.0%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $63,128 (2.3%)
Other Revenue encompasses a wide range of sources, including property sales, sponsorships,
donations, and reimbursements. Due to the variable nature of these revenues, Staff budgets
only known payments and recurring items, incorporating adjustments as additional revenues
are received.
Both fiscal years include reimbursements for work performed at Camp Parks through the
Intergovernmental Support Agreement, reimbursable work for Dublin San Ramon Services
District, and PCS sponsorships and contributions. The FY 2026–27 projection is in line with the
735
Page 6 of 12
FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget, reflecting a year-over-year increase of $150,000. The decrease
relative to the FY 2025-26 Amended Budget is attributable to a mid -year budget adjustment
that included $749,000 in one-time tax credit revenue. The 10-Year Forecast assumes 3.0
percent annual growth, consistent with the recurring and stable nature of the revenue sources
budgeted in this category.
Expenditures
Personnel Costs
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $705,721 (4.2%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $959,015 (5.5%)
The projected increases reflect the net impact of the following:
Addition of an Environmental Coordinator in Public Works to support long-term
sustainability goals and ensure compliance with local and State mandates
Addition of a Maintenance Coordinator in Public Works to develop and implement an
asset management plan and provide contractor oversight
Addition of a Recreation Supervisor in PCS, replacing a part-time Office Assistant II, to
oversee day-to-day operations of the Dublin Arts Center in advance of its opening
Flat seasonal staffing costs in FY 2026-27, with a slight increase projected in FY 2027-
28
Cost-of-living adjustment of 1.7 percent and merit pay of 3.0 percent for full-time
personnel in FY 2026-27
Cost-of-living adjustment of 3.5 percent and merit pay of 3.0 percent for full-time
personnel in FY 2027-28
Looking ahead, the 10-Year Forecast assumes 6.5 percent annual growth, based on the
maximum increases outlined in the employment agreement between the City and Staff. This
includes a cost-of-living adjustment of up to 3.5 percent and merit pay of up to 3.0 percent
annually. The forecast does not assume the addition of new positions.
Benefits
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $647,566 (9.7%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $423,489 (5.8%)
The projected increases in benefit costs are driven by higher CalPERS retirement contributions
and health insurance premiums. The 10-Year Forecast assumes a 5.0 percent annual growth
for both retirement and health care costs.
736
Page 7 of 12
Services and Supplies
FY 2026-27 - Decrease of $951,144 (11.4%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $197,694 (2.7%)
The projected increases in Services and Supplies are primarily driven by higher insurance
premiums through PLAN Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA), the City’s insurance pool, and
the addition of the City’s self-funded workers’ compensation program. Rising insurance costs
have been a recurring trend statewide, and Dublin’s experience is consistent with that of other
California municipalities. Liability insurance through PLAN JPA is projected to increase
approximately $400,000 (15.0 percent) in FY 2026 -27 and $360,000 (11.0 percent) in FY
2027-28. The FY 2026-27 rates remain preliminary but are not expected to shift significantly,
while the FY 2027-28 figures are based on PLAN JPA estimates and should be considered a
placeholder pending more current information.
FY 2026-27 will mark the first year the new workers’ compensation program is reflected in the
budget. As the program launched January 1, 2026, the FY 2026 -27 budget includes only six
months of excess insurance costs to align the program with the fiscal yea r. The full cost
beginning in FY 2027-28 is projected at approximately $140,000 annually.
Additionally, in FY 2026–27, the City will implement a budget realignment for liability insurance
costs associated with contracted Police and Fire services. These costs will be moved from
Services and Supplies to Contracted Services to more accurately reflect the nature of the
expenditures and ensure consistent treatment of all third-party liability costs, resulting in a
reallocation of approximately $1,750,000 in FY 2026-27 and $2,000,000 in FY 2027-28.
Excluding insurance, Services and Supplies costs are flat in FY 2026-27, with FY 2027-28
reflecting a decrease attributable to one-time costs associated with the opening of the Dublin
Arts Center. The 10-Year Forecast assumes 2.0 percent annual growth overall, reflecting
insurance premiums growing at 6.0 to 8.0 percent annually, offset by non -insurance costs
remaining relatively flat.
Contract Services
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $7,709,519 (10.4%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $3,450,159 (4.2%)
Contract Services represents the City’s largest expenditure category, with projected increases
of 10.4 percent ($7,709,519) in FY 2026-27 and 4.2 percent ($3,450,159) in FY 2027-28.
These increases are primarily attributable to the revised maintenance agreement with MCE
Corporation, an 8.2 percent increase in the Fire Services agreement, and a projected 6.1
percent increase in the Police Services agreement. It should be noted that the final proposal
from the Alameda County Sheriff's Office for Police Services has not yet been received. Staff
anticipates the final proposal will be submitted in early May.
737
Page 8 of 12
Police services contract. The FY 2026-27 and 2027-28 budget amounts are
preliminary and reflect an assumed annual increase of 6.1 percent, based on the following
factors:
A 4.0 percent pay rate increase scheduled in October 2026 and October 2027, as
outlined in the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office labor Memorandum of Understanding
Addition of one Lieutenant position in FY 2026-27
Continued utilization of two retired annuitants to support the DARE program, fully
funded through opioid settlement funds
Continued staffing of the Behavioral Health Unit (three positions), funded as follows:
o FY 2026-27 - 50.0 percent American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund and 50.0
percent General Fund
o FY 2027-28 - Fully funded by the General Fund

to aid COVID-19 recovery. This funding source is expected to be depleted by FY 2027-28.
** The Opioid Fund accounts for funds received by Dublin for participating in state settlements with opioid
manufacturers.
Fire services contract. The FY 2026-27 Fire Services budget increase is driven
primarily by a 9.4 percent increase in salary and benefit costs, comprising the following:
An 11.0 percent increase for unrepresented employees, resulting from a comprehensive
classification and compensation study conducted by Alameda County Fire
A 3.4 percent pay rate increase for Safety members in January 2026
A 4.0 percent pay rate increase for Safety members in January 2027
An 11.2 percent increase in CalPERS retirement costs, reflecting higher wages and an
increased CalPERS retirement rate
A 5.6 percent increase in projected health care premium costs
No additional staffing in either fiscal year
Additional cost increases reflect a 6.6 percent increase in Services and Supplies, attributable
to higher dispatch costs and uniform and personal protective equipment costs as required by
Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The FY 2027-28 budget, as provided by Alameda County Fire, reflects a projected increase of
4.7 percent, driven primarily by staffing and estimated benefit cost increases.
The City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) trust for Fire retiree health benefits
remains super funded due to prior-year contributions. As a result, OPEB costs will be paid from
the trust, generating General Fund savings of approximately $691,000 in FY 2026-27 and

MCE maintenance contract. The FY 2026-27 maintenance services budget increase is
attributable to the following primary factors:
Addition of eight City assets requiring maintenance, including the Dublin Arts Center,
Wallis Ranch Park, Iron Horse Nature Park and Open Space, four new medians (two
each on Fallon Road and Central Parkway), and Forest Park
Increased maintenance requirements associated with new Municipal Regional
Stormwater Permit obligations across more than 30 Green Stormwater Infrastructure
(GSI) facilities, including basins and bioretention areas
Expansion of preventative maintenance efforts across City facilities and infrastructure ,
consistent with the City’s Strategic Plan emphasis on proactive asset management and
long-term infrastructure reliability
Addition of a new MCE Management Analyst position to support the operational side of
maintenance services, including the development and implementation of a
comprehensive asset management program
A CPI adjustment of 3.0 percent
The proposed FY 2027-28 budget increase is primarily driven by CPI adjustments and the
addition of full-year maintenance funding for three parks and one GSI facility anticipated to
open late in FY 2026-27. These include Francis Ranch north (Poppy Meadow) and south (Wild
Wind) parks, Dublin Centre Park, and the GSI facility at the Iron Horse Trail south of Amador
Valley Boulevard.

maintenance, and finance and administration consulting.
The City was recently notified that the City of Livermore will no longer utilize Alameda
County for Animal Control and Shelter services. As the cost of these services is shared
among participating agencies, the City’s costs are expected to increase, though the
amount is not yet known. Staff will continue to work with the County and will bring
forward any recommended budget adjustments during the budget adoption in June.
The 10-Year Forecast assumes 6.0 percent annual growth for non-development-related
contracts, consistent with historical contract cost averages over the past decade.
Development-related contracts are projected to remain flat in Years 3 and 4, followed by a
steady decline in Years 5 through 10, based on current development project projections and
consistent with projected Development revenue .
Internal Services Fund Charges
FY 2026-27 - Increase of $581,790 (9.9%)
FY 2027-28 - Increase of $646,764 (10.0%)
Internal Services Fund (ISF) Charges represent costs allocated to City departments for
Information Technology (IT) operations and the replacement of City facilities, vehicles, and
equipment. The projected increases in both fiscal years are primarily driven by higher IT
operating costs and increased contributions to the City’s replacement fun ds.
Technology-related costs are funded through the IT Fund and allocated to departments based
on service usage and equipment assignments. These costs have risen steadily over the past
five years as the City continues to expand its technological capabilit ies. Contributions to
replacement funds have similarly increased to ensure adequate resources are set aside for
future capital needs as the City’s infrastructure continues to age.
Looking ahead, the 10-Year Forecast assumes 10.0 percent annual growth. However, this
assumption may be revisited as Staff completes a comprehensive asset inventory currently
underway. Once finalized, any identified funding deficiencies may necessitate adjustments to
annual ISF contributions to ensure sufficient resources are available for future replacements.
Transfers Out
The FY 2026-27 Budget includes transfers out of $2,000,000 to the ISF - Facilities for
preventive maintenance and $5,900,000 to capital improvement projects. Of the amount for
capital projects, $2,800,000 comes from Committed/Assigned Reserves and $3,100,000 from
Unassigned Reserves. The FY 2027-28 Budget includes another $2,000,000 to the ISF -
Facilities for preventive maintenance, as well as $6,350,000 to CIP projects. Of the amount for
capital projects, $4,500,000 comes from Committed / Assigned reserves and $1,850,000 from
Unassigned Reserves. Capital projects funded by the General Fund are shown in Attachment
3.

terms of guiding the City’s use of resources now to prepare for the future. Staff continues to
monitor ongoing revenue sources that fund ongoing costs and how those impact the General
Fund over time.
While the General Fund operating budget is in appositive position in the two-year budget
period, incorporating the information from this budget cycle into the 10-Year Forecast shows a
projected
operating deficit starting in FY 2030-31, as illustrated in Table 5. This is one year earlier than
was discussed during last year’s budget presentation. It should be noted that Staff uses
conservative assumptions when projecting the City’s future revenue and expenditures, and
that a full recession scenario is not included in the 10-year period.
