SU B.ECT: Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Years 2024-25 and 2025-26
Prepared by: JayBaksa, Finance Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Agenda Item 8.1
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 2024-2029 Capital Improvement
Program is presented under a separate item.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report and provide direction in preparing the final Fiscal Year 2024-25 and Fiscal Year
2025-26 Budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Preliminary Budget reflects total General Fund revenues of $128,267,803 and total
expenditures of $109,071,411 in Fiscal Year 2024-25; and revenues of $133,691,580 and
expenditures of $112,444,154 in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Transfers out to capital projects and
contributions to Internal Service Funds total $6,612,698 and $17,551,900, respectively. This
results in additions to General Fund Reserves of $12,583,693 in Fiscal Year 2024-25 and
$3,695,527 in Fiscal Year 2025-26. If there are any additional initiatives that the City Council
wishes to incorporate, those will be included in the budget proposal which will receive final
consideration no later than the first meeting in June.
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
significant changes highlighted, while the original document continues to serve as the guiding
financial plan. This year's budget cycle represents the first year of a new biennial budget process.

As in prior years, this report focuses on the General Fund, as there are no major budgetary
changes proposed in other funds. Also included in the report is the updated 10-Year General Fund
Forecast, which provides the context for the two-year budget proposals.
Budget and Forecast Summary
The preliminary budget is balanced in Fiscal Years 2024-25 and 2025-26, with a General Fund
operating surplus of $19,196,391 in the first year, and $21,247,427 million in the second year,
before contributions to capital projects and preventative maintenance. After transfers, reserves
are increasing $12,583,693 in Fiscal Year 2024-25 and $3,695,527 in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Changes
by categories are explained in the section below.
Revenue Assumptions
Property Tax Revenue
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $3,329,641 (5.6%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Increase of $2,922,909 (4.6%)
The increase in Property Tax revenue in both fiscal years is based on projections from the City's
consultant and is calculated with a combination of an annual increase of 2% to the assessed
property value (the maximum allowable by Proposition 13) and an increase in valuation due to
home sales and new construction. Staff also budgets for a delinquency rate of 1%.
Sales Tax
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $540,465 (1.8%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Increase of $867,440 (2.8%)
The increase in Sales Tax revenue for both fiscal years is based on projections from the City's
consultant as well as local and statewide economic trends. In Fiscal Year 2024-25, Sales Tax is
projected to increase 1.8%, despite a minor decrease of 0.3% in the Auto & Transportation sector.
All other industry groups in Fiscal Year 2024-25 are projected to remain flat or have increases led
by both the Business -to -Business and Restaurant and Hotels sectors. For Fiscal Year 2025-26,
economists are projecting increases in all business sectors, especially in the Auto &
Transportation and Building & Construction sectors.
Development Revenue
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $827,627 (12.0%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Increase of $988,502 (12.8%)
Development revenue includes permitting fees and payments for planning and engineering
services provided by the City. Revenue projections for both fiscal years are based on the timing of
development projects. The receipt of revenues and expenditures on corresponding services 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 the Service Continuity reserve
(currently at $3.15 million) to cover costs during that lag.

Other Taxes
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $364,500 (5.4%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Increase of $257,250 (3.6%)
Other Taxes include Property Transfer Taxes and multiple Franchise Taxes (electric, gas, garbage,
cable). Revenue for both fiscal years is projected to increase primarily due to the annual
adjustment of garbage rates that is part of the garbage franchise agreement and an increase in gas
and electric rates.
Charges for Services
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Decrease of $16,480 (0.2%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Increase of $199,906 (2.7%)
In Fiscal Year 2024-25, Charges for Services are projected to decrease due to an anticipated
reduction in Santa Rita reimbursement revenue, whereby the County pays the City for costs
incurred when responding to emergency calls at the Santa Rita Jail. The projected decrease is
based on operational changes that began in the current fiscal year. The decrease is offset by
projected revenue increases from Parks and Community Services programs, which continue to see
strong demand. Fiscal Year 2025-26 revenues are projected to increase due primarily to
continued increases in Parks and Community Services programs.
Interest
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $122,800 (2.2%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Decrease of $26,400 (0.5%)
Revenue projections for both fiscal years are based on the current interest rate environment as
well as the City's projected fund balance. The City continues to benefit from high interest rates, but
Staff and its consultants are closely monitoring the actions of the Federal Reserve and will make
any adjustments as needed throughout the year. The increase in Fiscal Year 2024-25 and slight
decrease in Fiscal Year 2025-26 is due to an accounting change that is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Boards (GASB), that changed how revenue received from
certain leased properties is accounted for. The revenue received from invested funds is projected
to remain flat for both budget years.
Rents and Leases
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $575,552 (34.9%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Increase of $48,103 (2.2%)
Revenue projections for both fiscal years are based on projected increases from rentals of the
City's facilities, sports fields, and picnic areas, which continue to see strong demand for rental
spaces. Additionally, the Dublin Arts Center will open in Fiscal Year 2024-25, further increasing
revenue by an estimated $181,000. In Fiscal Year 2025-26, Staff is projecting a 2% increase.
Other Revenue
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $729,946 (40.0%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Increase of $107,468 (4.2%)
Page 3 of 10
181
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. In Fiscal Year 2024-25, an accounting change in
how the City pays for Fire Retiree Health will result in an additional $574,552 in expenditures for
Fire Services, but this will be offset by additional revenue received as a reimbursement in the
same amount, in no net impact to the City. In Fiscal Year 2025-26, Other Revenue is projected to
increase 4.2% which includes the Fire Retiree Health accounting change. Other recurring items
projected to increase include reimbursement for work performed at Camp Parks through the
Intergovernmental Support Agreement (IGSA).
Expenditure Proposals
Personnel Costs
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $1,556,252 (11.0%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Increase of $649,248 (4.1%)
The increase in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget is attributed to the net impact of the following:
• Addition of an Associate Civil Engineer in the Public Works Department to work on capital
projects. The salary is included in the General Fund but will be allocated to Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) funds accordingly.
• Full year funding for two new positions added in Fiscal Year 23-24 - a Management Fellow
and a Code Enforcement Officer, the latter will be offset by a reduction in contract services.
• Transfer of 1.0 FTE from the Information Systems Division (Information Technology Fund)
to the City Manager's Office (General Fund).
• Increase in seasonal staffing costs, which is a result of an increase in the minimum wage as
well the need for additional staff due to the demand for Parks and Community Services
programs and rentals.
• Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) of 2.9%.
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget does not include any new positions. Increases are based on a
projected 3.5% COLA and an increase in costs for seasonal staff.
Benefits
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $849,124 (15.8%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Increase of $248,146 (4.0%)
The increase in benefit costs in Fiscal Year 2024-25 is based on an increase in retirement costs,
due to the CalPERS loss of 6.1% in 2022. This caused an increase of approximately $350,000 in the
City's Fiscal Year 2024-25 unfunded liability payment. Additionally, Staff is projecting increases in
premiums, and has incorporated the City's new benefit structure (effective January 1, 2024) for a
full year. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget includes a $160,000 increase in the CalPERS unfunded
liability payment, based on the most current actuarial reports as well as a projected 5% increase
to the 2025 health rates.

Services and Supplies
Fiscal Year 24-25 - Increase of $1,509,068 (23.1%)
Fiscal Year 25-26 - Increase of $234,768 (2.9%)
Services and Supplies expenditures for Fiscal Year 2024-25 are increasing primarily due to higher
insurance premiums through PLAN JPA, the City's insurance pool. The increase is consistent with
rates throughout the state, in both the public and private sectors. Insurance costs for both Police
and Fire are also increasing by a total of $918,000 over the current year amended budget.
Additionally, the Public Work's Maintenance division increased the repairs/maintenance budget
by approximately $300,000 to account for potential repairs as the City's facilities continue to age.
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Services and Supplies budget is projected to increase 2.9% year -over -
year, the result of a projected 10% increase to the City's liability insurance. This increase is a
placeholder, as PLAN JPA does not provide anticipated future costs for insurance premiums. This
increase is combined with other Services and Supplies expenditures being kept flat, in addition to
the removal of one-time costs from Fiscal Year 2024-25, such as costs related to the Dublin Arts
Center opening.
Contract Services
Fiscal Year 24-25 - Increase of $2,380,963 (3.7%)
Fiscal Year 25-26 - Increase of $2,405,111 (3.6%)
The City contracts for public safety (Police and Fire), maintenance, development, and other
miscellaneous services.
Police Services
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Police Services budget increases are due to the addition of one Deputy
Sheriff as well as the inclusion of full -year funding of the Crime Technician position that was
added in the current year. Additionally, personnel costs are increasing due to annual COLA and
benefit cost increases. Lastly, the City's projected dispatch costs are increasing by $534,991
(25.7%) over the current year adopted budget, attributed primarily to an increase in call volume
of 19.9%.
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 cost projection includes a 3% increase to the contract based on wage and
benefit agreements.

Fire Services
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Fire Services budget increases are due to annual COLA and benefit costs.
Additionally, the budget is going up by $101,802, (40.3%) due to an increase in the County
Overhead and Indirect Services rate charged to the City. The County Overhead rate consists of
supportive services costs, such as County Legal Services, Human Resource Services and
Equipment Maintenance. This cost is spread to all agencies that contract with Alameda County
Fire. Finally, overall appropriations for the Fire Services Budget are increasing by $574,552, due
to a change in the accounting of how Retiree Health costs are paid and subsequently reimbursed
to the City. All such expenditures will be wholly offset by revenue received from Alameda County
Fire.
Fire Services costs in Fiscal Year 2025-26 are projected to increase by 6.4%, based primarily on
staffing cost increases and estimated benefit increases.

Maintenance (MCE)
The budget for maintenance services in both fiscal years includes the following:
• Increases in personnel costs: four additional FTEs related to increase in City assets,
including a Lead Foreman position to help provide proactive maintenance services.
• Increases in rates paid to all position levels.
• Additional costs associated the Dublin Arts Center, Wallis Ranch Community Park, Iron
Horse Nature Trail, and four new medians (two on Fallon Road and two on Central
Parkway), and Jordan Ranch Neighborhood Park.
• Expanded hours for special events which include the St. Patrick's Day Festival, Trunk or
Treat, Farmers' Market, and marching band events.

Other contract services include Library Services, Crossing Guards, City Attorney, and Animal

non-MCE street maintenance contracts, and finance and administration consulting services. The
overall increases in Contract Services are being partially offset by decreases in departmental

development contracts, due to the timing of projects and funding for one-time projects that was
included in the current year budget, such the update to the Economic Development Strategy and
Economic Development Element to the General Plan, the User Fee Study, and the Climate Action
Plan.
Capital Outlay
Fiscal Year 2024-25 - Increase of $326,388 (60.2%)
Fiscal Year 2025-26 - Decrease of $613,000 (70.5%)
Capital Outlay items are typically one-time expenditures. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget includes
the purchase of equipment by Police Services for their "Drone as a First Responder" program,
costs to update the alerting system at Dublin fire stations, a vehicle for Code Enforcement, and
equipment for special events, sports programs, the Shannon Center, and The Wave. The Fiscal
Year 2025-26 projection includes additional equipment for the drone program, special events, and
The Wave.
Transfers Out
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget includes transfers out of $2,000,000 to the Internal Services Fund
- Facilities for preventive maintenance and $4,612,698 to capital improvement projects. Of the
amount for capital projects, $1,695,229 comes from Committed/Assigned Reserves and
$2,917,469 from Unassigned Reserves. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget includes another
$2,000,000 to the Internal Services Fund - Facilities for preventive maintenance, as well as
$15,551,900 to capital improvement projects. Of the amount for capital projects, $8,450,000
comes from Committed/Assigned reserves and $7,101,900 from Unassigned Reserves.
Capital projects funded by the General Fund are shown in Attachment 3.
10-Year 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. Staff continues to monitor
ongoing revenue sources that fund ongoing costs and how those impact the General Fund over
time.
The General Fund operating budget is balanced in the two-year budget period. Incorporating the
information from this budget cycle into the 10-Year Forecast, however, shows a projected
operating deficit starting in Fiscal Year 2031-32, as illustrated in the chart. Revenue and
expenditure assumptions are discussed below.

Forecast Assumptions
It should be noted that, while conservative assumptions have been used in the City's major
revenue categories, a full recession is not included in the 10-year period. While it is difficult to
project what impact a recession might have on the City's finances, Staff assumes that a major
downturn (using the same impacts as the recession of 2009) could result in a loss of 15% in Sales
Tax revenue in the first year and a loss of 4.4% in Property Tax revenue in the second. Using the
current budget, this equates to a loss of $7.1 million.

Property Tax
• Years 3-5: Between 3.75% - 5.25% growth annually based on estimates provided by the
City's Property Tax consultant, which includes the following assumptions:
o CPI adjustment: 2% increase (out of a maximum of 2%) throughout the forecast.
Page 8 of 10
