After several months of work from staff and Council, the City of Clearlake adopted its first Strategic Plan in February
of 2017. The City Council appointed an Ad Hoc Strategic Plan Subcommittee. Mayor Russ Perdock and Vice-Mayor
Bruno Sabatier were the Council Members who worked with management to develop the Plan. A Vision Statement
and four Goals were adopted by the Council and used as the structure to develop the Strategic Plan. Management
added three additional supporting Goals, which were ultimately included in the Plan.
Over several meetings, more specific Objectives for each of the Goals were developed. During that process, sig-
nificant discussion revolved around the impact the Objectives will have on the City and the ability to achieve the
stated Objectives.
In discussion of the ability to achieve the objectives the significant limiting factors considered were:
Financial Limitations - Current Revenues vs. Long Term Revenues
Personnel Limitations – Number of Employees/Capacity of Employees.
High Volume and Number of Projects – Public Works
Poor Condition of City – Code Enforcement
External Factors
The Plan also included a Responsibility Matrix which designated the member(s) of the organization who is respon-
sible (and in some cases the designated support team) for implementing the various Objectives. The City Manag-
er has the responsibility to ensure that the responsible person is managing progress toward the Objective(s). This
should allocate authority and responsibility throughout the management team.
The Responsible Person is charged with the developing and implementing a tactical plan to achieve each Objec-
tive. They will determine how to measure performance.
The City Council reviewed the Plan at a Strategic Plan Workshop with City staff and the public on April 26, 2018.
A few updates and revision to the Plan were adopted at that time.
An Executive Summary of the Plan, including the Goals and Objectives is reflected on the following page. The full

Series A Bonds
Dept: 242
Department Overview
In 2006 the City of Clearlake Public Financing Authority issued two bonds: Series A and Series B. The Series A bond proceeds were used
to refinance previously issued bonds, finance improvements, purchase land and conduct other traditional redevelopment activities within
the redevelopment project area. The Series B bond proceeds were used to finance enhancement and expansion of low and moderate
income housing within the City. In 2017 both sets of bonds were refinanced as refunding bonds. This transaction generated cash flow
savings through lower interest rates. The funding can be utilized for any projects consistent with the original bond issuance. In FY 2018-
19 a portion of the funds are proposed to be transferred to Fund 240 - Capital Projects so they can be utilized for various road and
infrastructure projects such as Highlands and Austin Parks.

Department Overview
The Clearlake Redevelopment Agency was dissolved on January 31, 2012 after the California Supreme Court upheld AB1X26 requiring
the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. The budget unit in this fund is for the Successor Agency (City
Council) that is under the control of the Oversight Board. Assets in this fund can only be use to pay enforceable obligations in existence at
the date of dissolution, as approved by the local Oversight Board and Department of Finance. A Required Obligation Payment Schedule
(ROPS) is submitted to the State Department of Finance bi-annually for approval to pay essential obligations. As defined in state law, all
of the individual Oversight Boards are being combined into one county-wide Oversight Board beginning July 1, 2018. The new Oversight
Board will operate under the authority of the County Auditor-Controller.

The Clearlake Redevelopment Agency was dissolved on January 31, 2012 after the California Supreme Court upheld AB1X26 requiring
the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. The budget unit in this fund is for the housing obligations of the
Successor Agency (City Council) that is under the control of the Oversight Board. Assets in this fund can only be use to pay enforceable
obligations in existence at the date of dissolution, as approved by the local Oversight Board and Department of Finance. A Required Ob-
ligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) is submitted to the State Department of Finance bi-annually for approval to pay essential obligations.
As defined in state law, all of the individual Oversight Boards are being combined into one county-wide Oversight Board beginning July
1, 2018. The new Oversight Board will operate under the authority of the County Auditor-Controller.

PEG
Fund: 120 & 121
Department Overview
The Public Education and Government (PEG) fund accounts for the costs of operating and maintaining the MediaCom channel TV8. PEG
is controlled by a five-member board, of which one member is appointed by the Lake County Board of Supervisors, one by the City of
Clearlake and three members of the community appointed by majority vote of the other board members. The PEG functions are separat-
ed into two funding streams, one for operating the station and the other for capital purchases. The capital expenditures are funded from
a 1% pass through fee collected by MediaCom and passed through to the County, City of Lakeport and City of Clearlake. The operating
budget is funded from donations, memberships, and annual contributions from the three entities.
The City of Clearlake acts as the “Lead Agency” for PEG, administering funds, providing insurance, etc., but has no direct authority over
PEG operations.

The Animal Control Unit of the Police Department handles animal control responsibilities within the City jurisdiction as well as manages
Clearlake’s Animal Shelter. The current shelter is located at the Public Works Yard and has a capacity of 12 dogs and 5 cats. The City is

Department Overview
In 1995, Clearlake voters passed Measure P which imposes a 0.5% sales tax for the purpose of “obtaining, providing, operating, and
maintaining police protection services provided by the City at a service level existing as of the effective date of this section. Police
protection and payment for equipment and apparatus necessary to equip such personnel.” The measure specifies the City shall continue
to spend the same percentage of General Funds toward police projection as exists as of the effective date of the ordinance. Further in
1999, the City Council adopted a resolution (99-02) that outlines specifically how the maintenance of effort should be calculated. The
resolution establishes that the annual MOE for the General Fund shall be 63.5% of the total actual General Fund revenues received as
determined by the last available audited trial balance for specific General Fund revenue sources.

Department Overview
The Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) collects state grant funds to be used for police services. The grant was es-
tablished in 2000 and provides for a minimum of $100,000 to be provided to each law enforcement agency, but the funds are not a
guaranteed revenue stream. $100,000 per year has been used to support front-line police services, and additional fund balance is used
to support front-line police services by purchase of primarily equipment and vehicles.

Department Overview
In previous years the City has applied for and been awarded funding through the federal Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS)
Grant. The funding was used for supporting additional police officers. COPS funding has been unavailable for the past few years, but
the Department of Justice is now accepting applications again. The Police Department is currently preparing an application for funds to
support an additional police officer, an additional code enforcement officer, an additional animal control officer and a fire department
employee that would form a task force to address blight in the community. This is a competitive program and, therefore, no funds have
been budgeted at this time. Staff will return to the Council for adjustments to the budget if the City is awarded funds.

Department Overview
This budget includes Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) Program Income which has received approval from the De-
partment of Housing and Community Development to be spent on Code Enforcement within certain areas of the City of Clearlake. The
funds have supported two Code Enforcement Officers and a Code Enforcement Technician. These employees provide services to limited
areas of the City that meet CDBG program guidelines. The other areas of the City are covered by an officer that is paid with General
Fund dollars. Last year, the City received notice that further expenditure of these funds was not allowed while the an application was sub-
mitted for a CDBG grant for $500,000 to fund Code Enforcement activities. The City has received informal information that the $500,000
will be awarded, but still has not received official confirmation. The City proposes to spend the money over two years to maintain the
highest level of Code Enforcement service in the community.

Department Overview
The City of Clearlake offers the use of three public park facilities that fall within the City limits. Each park is unique in what it has to offer
the general public. Thompson Harbor/Redbud Park offers a full boat launching facility with an abundance of parking and six restrooms
for the use of the public. It also offers a place to sit and enjoy the view of our most appreciated resource, Clearlake. Highlands Park
lies in the middle of the downtown corridor and offers a place to sit and have lunch and enjoy the spectacular views from our end of the
lake. A park master plan was completed in 2016 and should be scheduled this year for full build-out of the facility. Currently a contract-
ed landscape architect is finalizing the design. Austin Park offers amenities that include a full children’s playground, beach, skate park,
tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts, and a gazebo for family events. A park master plan will be completed in this fiscal year
and further improvements should begin shortly thereafter. The Capital Projects budget includes the costs for the renovation of the park
facilities while this budget unit includes the operational costs for maintaining the parks.

Department Overview
The Gas Tax/SB 1 budget included receipt of fuel tax, vehicle registration fees, and other sources of state revenue to be spent on building
and maintaining public roadways. The City currently maintains approximately 115 miles of streets of which 65 miles are paved and 50
miles are unpaved. Gas Tax has been the historic source of road projects but has declined state-wide prompting the legislature to pass
Senate Bill (SB) 1 to provide additional funding for road construction and maintenance. SB 1, also referred to as the Road Maintenance
and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) is designed to effectively increase the receipt of previous funds received historically as Gas Tax and pro-
vide additional revenue.
Gas Tax or Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) funds can be used for, “the research, planning, construction, improvement, maintenance,
and operation of public streets and highways, including the mitigation of their environmental effects, the payment for property taken or
damaged for such purposes, and the administrative costs necessarily incurred in the foregoing purposes.” RMRA funds must be utilized
for projects “that include, but are not limited to, road maintenance and rehabilitation, safety projects, railroad grade separations, traffic
control devices, and complete streets components.”

Measure V - Roads
Dept: 100220
Department Overview
In 2016 the voters of Clearlake imposed a 1% transaction and use tax for the purposes of improving and maintaining the roads with the

This fund was established to account for traffic impact fees paid by developers for their fair share of future street improvements and in-
tersections. To date, the only funds to be collected by the City and placed into this fund resulted from and agreement with Yuba College
(now Woodland Community College) to mitigate the traffic impacts of their recent expansion. These funds will be used as appropriate
for mitigation of the traffic impacts of development and will accumulate until such time as they are used. Since the only deposit in this
fund is for the Woodland College development agreement, there are no annual reporting requirements or time lines for the expenditure
of the funds.

CalRecycle/AB 1290
Dept: 100162
Department Overview
This budget includes a historical grant from CalRecycle for public outreach, recycling containers and county services for recycling efforts
to support the City’s waste diversion goals. Unfortunately CalRecycle is not currently providing grants for this purpose any longer. A
few years ago the City began depositing a portion (50%) of its franchise fees from solid waste service providers in the City in order to
support street maintenance activities. This was done under the umbrella of AB 1290, which intends to support efforts toward reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions through transportation planning. Historically the budget has supported a portion of a grant technicians salary,
general fund overhead costs, and transfers to Fund 240 - Capital Projects for on-going street projects. Due to the various funding sources
now available for road projects, the City proposes to deposit all franchise fee revenue in the General Fund in future years.

BUDGET POLICY
To set forth and maintain sound fiscal policy assuring conservative and consistent protocol in developing the City’s
budget and use of funds, the City Council has adopted a set of financial policies. These policies will be reviewed
annually as part of the budget process and amended as necessary to reflect the City’s fiscal soundness.
OBJECTIVES
1. The City’s financial activity will be set forth in an annual budget presenting a fair and fully disclosed
financial representation of the city in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
2. The City Manager will present the annual budget and periodic financial information to the City Council to
include the following information based on conservative but reasonable revenue estimates:
• Actual revenues, expenditures, reserve balances and fund balances for the prior fiscal year;
• Estimated revenues, expenditures, reserve balances and fund balances for the current fiscal year;
• Projected revenues, expenditures, reserve balances and fund balances for the next fiscal year;
• Will work toward producing a long-range financial plan that will include a 10-year Capital
Improvement Program and, when possible, multi-year revenue and expenditure forecasting;
• General Fund 100 Revenue Reserve for contingencies equal to approximately 5% of the General
Fund budget, or at minimum in the neighborhood of $250,000.
3. The City Manager will provide the City Council with a mid-year review of the city’s financial activities.
The review will be presented in February and compare annual budget projections with actual results.
4. Major capital improvement projects will be funded using the most financially prudent method available
including:
• Traditional long-term financing (bond issues);
• “Pay-as-you-go” financing (using impact fees, allocated reserves, grants, general funds);
• Combination of debt financing and “pay-as-you-go” financing;
• Using cash accumulated in excess of policy requirements.
5. The City will maintain reserve funds to:
• Stabilize the city’s fiscal base for anticipated fluctuations in revenues and expenditures; and
• Provide for nonrecurring, unanticipated expenditures;
• Provide for innovative opportunities for the betterment of the community
The following reserves will be established within the General Fund:
Revenue Reserve—The purpose of this reserve is to recognize predictable future reductions in city
revenues such as property, sales and transient occupancy taxes and other funds including the COPS
grant and reimbursable mandated costs as well as to protect the General Fund against unpredictable
fluctuations in major revenues. This reserve will maintain funding levels to allow for normal revenue
growth to replace reduced revenues. The target reserve over time is 100% of total General Fund
expenditures.
Employee Benefit Reserve—The purpose of this reserve is to maintain appropriate reserves to cover
compensated absences and other employee benefit liabilities and to meet statutory requirements and
actuarially projected needs.
Capital Improvement Reserve—The purpose of this reserve is to augment other available funds (impact
fees, grants, enterprise funds, etc.) for capital projects.
Equipment Replacement Reserve—This reserve will enable the City to replace existing vehicles either
on an as needed basis or on a replacement schedule. New equipment can also be funded from this
reserve.
Litigation Reserve—The purpose of this reserve is to provide funds for litigation that the city may be faced
with from time to time. This Reserve will include the required Risk Management Reserve of $150,000
plus an additional amount to cover claims not covered by PARSAC, the City’s Risk Management JPA.
Community Fund Reserve—The purpose of this fund will be to take advantage of opportunities that
avail themselves to the City that would result in the betterment of the community.
General fund revenues remaining at the end of the City’s fiscal year, unless encumbered, will be allocated
to these reserves by the City Council based on recommendations of the City Manager.
6. Annual General Fund 100 operating expenditures shall not exceed projected available annual revenues
unless:
1) There is projected to be at least $150,000 in the Litigation Reserve and approximately 5% of the General
Fund 100 budget in the Revenue Reserve at year-end; or
2) The City must use reserves for their intended purposes. If reserves are reduced because they are used for
their intended purposes, then the City Manager shall present a plan to the City Council to restore the reserves.
This approach will be implemented starting with the FY 2013-2014 fiscal year budget.
7. Appropriations of fiscal resources are the responsibility of the City Council and the City Manager.
Appropriations requiring City Council action are:
• Appropriation of reserves, except replacement reserves;
• Transfers between funds;
• Appropriations of any unassigned revenues; and
• Inter-fund loans.
Appropriations requiring City Manager action are:
• Transfers within a fund or department;
• Appropriation of replacement reserves; and
• Appropriation of unbudgeted assigned revenues.
8. A fiscal impact statement will be provided in each staff report submitted to the City Council as part of the
City Council agenda process.
9. The City will strive to pay competitive market level compensation to its employees.
10. The City’s investment policy will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process.
INVESTMENT POLICY
PURPOSE
This policy is intended to provide guidelines for prudent investment of the City of Clearlake’s idle cash, including
bond proceeds, and outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City’s cash management system. The
ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City, while protecting its cash.
OBJECTIVE
The City’s cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues,
thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City attempts to obtain the highest yield
obtainable as long as City investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.
POLICIES
A. General Rule: The City operates its temporary idle cash investments under the prudent investor rule
(Government Code Section 53600.3). This affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities
as long as the investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.
B. Criteria: Criteria and order of priority as established by the California Municipal Treasurers Association
is hereby adopted as the order of priority and criteria for selection of investment options for City’s idle
funds. Said order of priority and criteria for selection areas follows:
1. Safety: The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal
interest, or a combination of these amounts. The City only operates in those investments that are
considered very safe.
2. Liquidity: This refers to the ability to “cash in” at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing
some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality, especially when
the need for unexpected funds appears occasionally.
3. Yield: This is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and sometimes is described
as the “rate of return”.
C. Amount to be Invested: The City will invest all funds and estimated checking account float, except for
those amounts required to retain the account and minimize the charge by the City’s bank to pay for
bank services furnished to the City.
D. Acceptable Investment Instruments: The City’s investment portfolio may include the following in
instruments:
3. Certificates of Deposit (or Time Deposits), fully amortized, placed with commercial banks and/
or savings and loan institutions. The institution must maintain a net-worth-to-asset ratio of at least
2.5% and a positive-earnings record as verified by its most recent financial statements, or a credit
evaluations service rating of no less quality than an A rating, except that a rating of B or higher
shall be acceptable on investment of $90,000 or less.
4. Banker’s Acceptances
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Treasurer for the City shall render, on a quarterly basis, reports of investment activity to the City Council within
30 days following the end of the quarter. Each report will include the following information:
A. Investment type, issuer, date of maturity, par value and dollar amount invested in all securities, and
investments and monies held by the City;
C. A market value as of the date of the report (or the most recent valuation as to assets not valued monthly)
and the source of the valuation;
D. A statement of compliance with the investment policy or an explanation for non-compliance; and
E. A statement of the City’s ability to meet expenditure requirements for six months, and an explanation of
why money would not be available if that were the case.

terms of its provable technical insolvency and probable FSLIC equity capital supports. Extreme caution
recommended.
G Institution in receivership, or near receivership -- operating with FSLIC equity capital supports. Extreme
caution recommended in the placing of any deposits and/or borrowed fund in any amounts.
N Opened for business within preceding 12 months. Believed safe for limited uninsured demand deposits

GLOSSARY
GLOSSARY CITY OF CLEARLAKE
The following are definitions for common terms found in budget summary statements, as well as an explanation of
financial terms found in this budget document.
ACCOUNT. A chronological record of public funds showing receipts, disbursements, and the balance.
ACCRUAL BASIS of accounting is used in proprietary (enterprise and internal service) funds. Under it, transactions
are recognized when they occur. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when in-
curred. “When” cash is received or distributed is not a determining factor.
ADOPTED BUDGET. The financial plan adopted by the City Council which forms the basis for appropriations.
ANNEXATION. The incorporation of land into an existing city with a resulting change in the boundaries of that city.
APPROPRIATION. An authorization made by the City Council that permits officials to incur obligations against and
to make expenditures of governmental resources.
ARBITRAGE. The investment of bond proceeds at a higher yield than the coupon rate being paid on the bonds.
ASSESSED VALUATION. The estimated value placed upon real and personal property by the County Assessor as
the basis for levying property taxes.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING. A term used to refer to when revenues, expenditures, expenses, and transfers – and the
related assets and liabilities – are recognized in the accounts and reported on the financial statements. It relates
to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the nature of the measurement, on either the cash or accrual
method.
BASIS OF BUDGETING. The City’s governmental functions and accounting systems are organized and controlled
on a fund basis. The accounts within the funds are maintained on a modified accrual basis for governmental, ex-
pendable trust, and agency funds. Revenues are recognized when measurable and available as current assets.
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related services or goods are received and the liability is incurred.
Proprietary funds are accounted for on the full accrual basis of accounting.
BASIS POINTS. A basis point refers to the measure of the yield to maturity of an investment calculated to four dec-
imal places. A basis point is 1/100th of 1 percent (.01 percent).
BENCHMARK. A quantifiable performance level used to assess the extent to which program objectives are being
obtained.
BENEFITS. Employer contributions paid by the City as part of the conditions of employment. Examples include
health/dental insurance, state public employees retirement system, city retirement system, and employment security.
BOND (Debt Instrument). A written promise to pay (debt) a specified sum of money (called principal or face value)
at a specified future date (called the maturity date) along with periodic interest paid at a specified percentage of
the principal (interest rate). Bonds are typically used for long-term debt to pay for specific capital expenditures.
BUDGET. A plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of expenditures for a given period and the pro-
posed means of financing them (revenue estimates). The term is also sometimes used to denote the officially ap-
proved expenditure ceilings under which the City and its departments operate.
BUDGET AMENDMENT. A change to a budget adopted in accordance with State law. A budget may be amended
to increase expenditures/expenses at the fund level by ordinance without public notice or public hearing require-
ments, when unanticipated revenues occur or emergencies exist. The City Manager is authorized to make budget
amendments between organizations of the same fund, as long as there is no change in the total budget for that
fund.
BUDGET CALENDAR. The schedule of key dates or milestones which the City follows in the preparation and adop-
tion of the budget.
BUDGET GUIDELINES. The City’s guidelines with respect to revenue, debt, budget, and organization management
as these relate to the City’s ongoing ability to provide services, programs, and capital investment.
BUDGET MESSAGE. A message prepared by the City Manager explaining the annual proposed budget, articulat-
ing the strategies and budget packages to achieve the City’s goals, and identifying budget impacts and changes.
BUDGET PROCESS. The process of translating planning and programming decisions into specific financial plans.
CAPITAL. Expenditures made to acquire, reconstruct, or construct major fixed or capital assets. A fixed asset is a
tangible object of long- term character which will continue to be held or used, such as land, buildings, machinery,
furniture, and other equipment. A capital asset must exceed $5,000 in cost and have an expected useful life ex-
pectancy of at least 3 years. For purposes of this definition, a “fixed asset” includes a group of items purchased
together that will be used “for a single purpose” and could not be used effectively by themselves.
CAPITAL BUDGET. A plan of proposed capital expenditures and the means of financing them. The capital budget is
enacted as part of the Adopted Budget, which includes both operating and capital outlays.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Expenditures that result in the acquisition or construction of fixed assets.
CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN. A capital facilities plan includes an inventory of existing Facilities, a forecast of future
needs, proposed locations, capacities for new or expanded facilities, and a financing plan. The financing plan out-
lines the costs, revenues, and time schedules for each capital improvement project.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. A plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a period of
five or more future years setting forth each capital project, identifying the expected beginning and ending date for
each project, the amount to be expended in each year, and the method of financing those expenditures.
CAPITAL OUTLAY. A budget category for items having a value of $1,000 or more and having a useful economic
lifetime of more than one year.
CARRYOVERS. Carryovers result from timing of project completion. The final expenditures need to be re-budgeted
to provide an appropriation from one fiscal year to the next in order to accomplish the purpose for which the funds
were originally budgeted. Carryovers generally involve projects rather than line item expenditures.
CASH BASIS OF ACCOUNTING. The method of accounting that records revenues only when they are actually re-
ceived and expenditures only when cash is paid.
CASH MANAGEMENT. The process of managing monies for the City to ensure operating cash availability and safe
investment of idle cash.

organization. Departments include: 1) City Council, 2) City Manager, 3) City Attorney, 4) Community Development,
5) Finance, and 6) Public Works.
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR). The official annual financial report of the City prepared
in conformity with GAAP.
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI). A statistical description of price levels provided by the U.S. Department of Labor.
The index is used as a measure of the increase in the cost of living, i.e., economic inflation.
CONTINGENCY. A budgetary reserve set aside for emergencies or unforeseen expenditures for which no other
budget exists.
COUNCIL GOALS. Statements of direction, purpose, or intent based on the needs of the community, generally to
be completed within a specified time period.
CUSTOMER. The recipient of a product or service provided by the City. Internal customers are usually City depart-
ments, employees, or officials who receive products or services provided by another City Department. External cus-
tomers are usually citizens, neighborhoods, community organizations, businesses, or other public entities who receive
products or services provided by a City Department.
DEBT SERVICE. Payment of interest and repayment of principal to holders of the City’s debt instruments.
DEBT SERVICE FUND. A fund to account for payment of principal and interest on general obligation and other
City-issued debt.
DEPARTMENT MISSION. Objectives that address each of the department’s major activities, but are not broader
than the department’s scope of work. These objectives relate back to Council goals or its vision and strategies.
DEPRECIATION. (1) Expiration in the service of life of capital assets attributable to wear and tear, deterioration,
action of the physical elements, inadequacy, or obsolescence. (2) That portion of the cost of a capital asset, which
is charged as an expense during a particular period.
DIVISION MISSION. Objectives that address each of the division’s major activities, but that are not broader than
the division’s scope of work.
These objectives relate back to either the Department Mission, to Council goals, or Council’s vision and strategies.
ENCUMBRANCES. Obligations in the form of purchase orders or contracts that are chargeable to an appropriation
and for which a part of the appropriation is reserved. Obligations cease to be encumbrances when paid or when
the appropriation expires at the end of the fiscal year.
ENTERPRISE FUND. A fund type used to account for operations that are financed or operated in a manner similar
to private business enterprise where the intent of the governing body is that costs of providing goods and services
be recovered primarily through user charges.
EXPENDITURES/EXPENSES. Where accounts are kept on the modified accrual basis (expenditures) or accrual basis
(expenses) of accounting, the cost of goods received or services rendered whether cash payments have been made
or not. Where accounts are kept on a cash basis, expenditures are recognized only when the cash payments for
the above purposes are made.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS. The City uses fiduciary funds to assist in accounting for assets held under trust or agency agree-
ments. These funds include 1) agency funds that account for resources where the City acts solely as an agent in
collecting and dispensing monies, and 2) expendable trust funds that account for resources where the City acts as
a formal or informal trustee for restricted fund users. For agency funds, no fund balance is maintained and no ap-
propriations are necessary. These funds are accounted for on a modified accrual basis.
The City’s Deferred Compensation Fund is an agency fund that accounts for monies withheld from employees under
deferred compensation plans and the fund’s earnings and investments.
Trust funds may be expendable and use modified accrual accounting for a specific project or service, or they may
be non-expendable and use an accrued basis of accounting to focus on the ongoing retention of earnings.
FISCAL YEAR. A 12-month period to which the annual operating budget applies. At the end of the period, the City
determines its financial position and the results of its operations. The Fiscal Year is July 1 through June 30 for local
governments in California.
FULL FAITH AND CREDIT. A pledge of the general taxing power for the repayment of the debt obligation (typically
FUND. An independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and/or
other resources together with all related liabilities, obligations, reserves, and equities which are segregated for the
purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives.
FUND BALANCE. The excess of an entity’s assets over its liabilities. A negative fund balance is sometimes called
a deficit. An undesignated fund balance reflects historical receipts less historical expenditures in non-proprietary
funds. Since all designated and reserved resources have been removed or deducted in arriving at the year- end
undesignated fund balance, this value is available for budgetary appropriation.
FTE, Full-Time Equivalent. The ratio of a position in comparison to the amount of time a regular, full-time employee
normally works in a year. A full-time employee (1.00 FTE) is paid for 2,080 hours a year. Positions budgeted to
work less than full-time are expressed as a percent of full-time. For example, a .5 FTE budgeted position will work
1,040 hours.
GAAP, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Uniform minimum standards and guidelines for financial account-
ing and reporting. They govern the form and content of the financial statements of the City.
GASB, Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The authoritative accounting and financial standard setting
body for governmental entities.
GENERAL FUND. This fund accounts for the financial operations of the City, which are not accounted for in any
other fund. Principal sources of revenue are property taxes, franchise fees, sales tax revenues, licenses, permits,
and charges for services. Primary expenditures in the General Fund are made for administration, police, building
development and planning, parks, and City Council.
GENERAL OBLIGATION. Bonds for which the full faith and credit of the insuring government are pledged for bonds
payment.
GIS, Geographical Information System. A mapping application which can be used for site plan review, counter
support, citizen education and notification, environmental analysis, land use inventories, to produce presentation
maps and maps for public distribution and as a tool to aid in decision making regarding CIP projects, creating a
street maintenance program, and to inventory and maintain storm drainage systems and other public improvements.
GOAL. A long-range statement of broad direction, purpose, or intent, based on the needs of the community.
GRANT. A cash award given for a specified purpose. The two major forms of Federal and State grants are block,
and discretionary or categorical. Block grants are awarded primarily to general purpose governments, are distrib-
uted to them according to formulas established in the law, and can be used for any locally determined activities that
fall within the functional purpose of the grant as stated in the law. Discretionary or categorical grants can be used
only for a specific purpose and usually are limited to narrowly defined projects or activities.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT. Legislation enacted in 1990 by the State Legislature requiring that all jurisdictions in the
larger counties adopt new comprehensive plans by the end of 1993. This legislation was enacted due to enormous
growth experienced in the State and a lack of uniform guidance for related development. This Act further spec-
ified that all plans conform to a broad set of guidelines of both the parent county and neighboring jurisdictions.
Eight specific elements, including concurrency, are required to be included in every comprehensive plan. Concurren-
cy requires that infrastructure be available at the same time as new development.
IMPACT FEES. Fees charged to developers to cover, in whole or in part, the anticipated cost of improvements borne
by the City that will be necessary as a result of the development.
INPUT. A resource, monetary or non-monetary, that is used in delivering a program or service, such as hours of labor
and numbers of bricks.
INTERFUND SERVICES. Payments for services rendered made by one City department or fund to another. Internal
Service Fund billings are included in this category. However, these billings also include equity transfers to internal
service funds in support of “first time” asset acquisitions. See Internal Service Charge.
INTERFUND TRANSFERS. Contributions from one City fund to another in support of activities of the receiving fund.
Loans are not included.
INTERGOVERNMENT. Services purchased from other government agencies, normally including types of services
that only government agencies provide.
INTERNAL SERVICE CHARGE. A charge from an Internal Service Fund to an operating fund to recover the cost of
service or overhead.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS. These funds are used to account for services provided by City Departments to other
City Departments for which they pay an internal service charge.
LEVEL OF SERVICE. Used generally to define the existing services, programs, and facilities provided by the gov-
ernment for its citizens. Level of service in any given activity may be increased, decreased, or remain the same,
depending on the needs, alternatives, and available resources.
LEVY. The total amount of taxes or special assessments imposed by the City.
LID, Local Improvement District. A local improvement district is composed of properties benefiting from a specific
capital improvement project, such as a sewer line extension.
LINE ITEM. An expenditure description at the most detailed level. Objects of expenditure are broken down into
specific items, such as printing.
MAINTENANCE. The act of keeping capital assets in a state of good repair. It includes preventative maintenance,
normal periodic repairs, replacement of parts or structural components, and other activities needed to maintain the
asset so that it continues to provide normal services and achieves its optimum life.
MISSION. A short description of the scope and purpose of a City Department. It specifies what the Department’s
business is.
MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS of accounting is used in governmental fund types (general, special revenue, debt ser-
vice, and capital project funds). Under it, revenues and other financial resource increments are recognized when
they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are gen-
erally recognized when they are incurred (bring forth a liability).
NET INTEREST COST. This is the traditional method of calculating bids for new issues of municipal (NIC) securities.
It is computed as either: (a) Dollar Cost: total scheduled coupon payments + bid discount (- bid premium), or (b)
Interest Rate: total scheduled coupon payments + bid discount
(- bid premium) divided by bond year dollars. Bond year dollars is the sum of the number of years each bond in
an issue is scheduled to be outstanding multiplied by its par value.
OBJECT. As used in expenditure classification, this term applies to the type of item purchased or the service ob-
tained (as distinguished from the results obtained from expenditures). Examples are personnel services, supplies,
and services and charges.
OPERATING REVENUES. Those revenues received within the present fiscal year.
ORDINANCE. The method by which the appropriation of the budget is enacted into law by the Council per authority
of the State statutes.
OUTPUT. A quantifiable product made or activity undertaken to achieve a desired result, such as miles of roads
swept.
PERS (CALPERS), The Public Employees Retirement System. A State of California-defined benefit pension plan to
which both employee and employer contribute.
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR. A quantifiable performance level used to assess the extent to which program objec-
tives are being obtained.
PLAN. A list of actions that management expects to take. A plan is a basis for allocating the organization’s resources
to deal with opportunities and problems present in the environment.
PROGRAM. A group of related activities to accomplish a major service or core business function for which the City
is responsible. A program is typically part of a division within a department.
PROGRAM ACTIVITY. A broad function or a group of similar or related services/activities, having a common pur-
pose.
PROJECTIONS. Estimates of outlay, receipts, or other amounts that extend several years into the future. Projections
generally are intended to indicate the budgetary implications of continuing or proposing programs and policy for
an indefinite period of time.
PROPOSED BUDGET. The budget proposed by the City Manager to the City Council for review and approval.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS. Recipients of goods or services pay directly to these funds. Revenues are recorded at the
time services are provided, and all expenses incurred in earning the revenues are recorded in the same period. As
a result, there is a direct cause and effect relationship between revenue and expenses in these funds.
RATINGS. In the context of bonds, normally an evaluation of credit-worthiness performed by an independent rating
service.
REFUNDING. The redemption of an obligation on or before its maturity in order to reduce the fixed interest charge,
or to reduce the amount of fixed payment.
RESERVE. An account used to indicate that a portion of fund equity is legally restricted for a specific purpose.
RESOURCES. Total dollars available for appropriations including estimated revenues, fund transfers, and beginning
fund balances.
RETAINED EARNINGS. An equity account reflecting the accumulated earnings of a proprietary (internal service or
enterprise) fund. In this budget document, the balance derived excludes asset depreciation expenditures. When
depreciation is charged to user organizations, as in internal service funds, the cash balance remaining (ending re-
tained earnings) therefore represents the asset replacement reserve being accumulated.
REVENUE. Income received by the City in support of a program or services to the community. It includes such items
as property taxes, fees, user charges, grants, fines and forfeits, interest income, and miscellaneous revenue. See
