TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE NATIONAL
INTERGOVERNMENTAL PURCHASING ALLIANCE TO PURCHASE
JANITORIAL SUPPLIES FOR CITY FACILITIES.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-15 authorizing participation in the National
Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance to purchase janitorial supplies for City Facilities
in the not-to-exceed amount of $65,000 for Fiscal Year 2025/26.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds for the purchase of sanitary supplies are included in the Fiscal Year
2025/26 Operating Budget for the Civic Center, Diamond Bar Center, and various Parks
totaling $65,000.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City's Purchasing Ordinance, codified in Chapter 3.24 of the Diamond Bar
Municipal Code, generally requires the use of formal bidding procedures for the
procurement of goods and services that cost in excess of $45,000. Section 3.24.090(f)
provides an exception as follows: "When supplies, personal property, services or
equipment can be more efficiently or more cost efficient obtained through a cooperative
purchasing program with a federal, state, county, local or other government purchasing
program. Such purchases through a cooperative purchasing program shall be
authorized by resolution of the City Council."
The City has been using Waxie Sanitary Supply for janitorial supplies at the City
facilities. Waxie provides high-quality products and years of responsive customer
service that staff has come to rely on. On February 17, 2015, the City Council
authorized the use of the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (NIPA),
5.3
Packet Pg. 33
currently part of OMNIA Partners - Public Sector, for purchases of Waxie products for
the Fiscal Year 2014/15. Subsequently, the City Council has authorized the use of NIPA
for the procurement of Waxie products every year since. Staff is seeking authorization
for continued use of the NIPA for purchases of Waxie products.
It is recommended that the City forgo its separate bidding process and utilize the
bidding process conducted by the City of Tucson, Arizona, which served as the
Principal Procurement Agency (lead agency) for the NIPA, and negotiated a contract
with Network Services Company to obtain discounted pricing for about 1,400 Waxie
products. These products may be purchased under the agreement by members of the
NIPA, including the City of Diamond Bar, from Waxie Sanitary Supply as the local
distributor for the Network Services Company. The NIPA is an intergovernmental
cooperative purchasing alliance that procures contracted goods and services through a
Request for Proposal (RFP) competitive solicitation process conducted by a public
agency/governmental entity. The procurement process employed by the NIPA includes
the following:
1. The lead agency prepares a competitive solicitation, incorporating language to
make the agreement accessible nationally to agencies in states that allow
intergovernmental (i.e., "piggyback") contract usage.
2. The lead agency issues the solicitation and any required amendments and
notifications‚ and conducts pre-proposal conferences and/or meetings.
3. Interested suppliers respond to the solicitation.
4. The lead agency evaluates the responses, negotiates the final terms and
conditions, and ultimately awards the master agreement.
The NIPA procurement process is similar to the City's formal bidding procedures, which
makes master agreements appropriate for "piggybacking" for purchases of Waxie
products included in the City of Tucson and Network Services Company master
agreement.
The City's Purchasing Ordinance requires that participation in a governmental
purchasing program be authorized by Council resolution. The Purchasing Ordinance
also requires City Council approval for purchases from a single vendor in a fiscal year in
excess of $45,000. Staff anticipates expenditures of $65,000 for Waxie products during
Fiscal Year 2025/26.

department of general services or other government purchasing program, and the City
Council authorizes the "piggyback" procurement by resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Manager has determined that certain supplies,
materials, personal property and equipment can be more efficiently and more
inexpensively obtained if acquired on behalf the City as a participant of the National
Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance, an intergovernmental cooperative purchasing
alliance that procures contracted goods and services thorough a request for proposal
competitive solicitation process conducted by a public agency/governmental entity; and
WHEREAS, acquisition of any such supplies, materials, personal property or
equipment as a participant of a government purchasing program must be authorized by
resolution of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Agent and Purchasing Delegates have evaluated the
janitorial products provided by Waxie Sanitary Supply as the local distributor pursuant to
a master contract between the City of Tucson, the Network Services Company, and the
National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance, and have determined that Wax ie
provides high quality product and responsive customer service, and recommends Waxie
Sanitary Supply as the provider of janitorial supplies for City facilities.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
A. FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan
Each year, the City prepares an annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement
Program for City Council consideration that implements the Council’s priorities and
Strategic Plan Goals, and provides the financial resources to deliver services to the
community. The preparation of the annual budget is a significant and important
undertaking that takes place over the course of more than five months.
Below is the schedule for the public meetings related to the FY 2025/26 City Budget:
• Council Study Session on Draft FY 2025/26 CIP and Draft Five -Year CIP Review
– Held on 5/6/2025
• Council Study Session on Draft FY 2025/26 Operating Budget – Held 5/20/2025
• Adoption of the Proposed FY 2025/26 City Budget & CIP – Scheduled for
6/3/2025
On May 6, 2025, the City Council held a Study Session to review the Draft FY 2025/26
Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Following the Council’s discussion, there were
two recommended changes to the presented Draft FY 2025/26 CIP:
1) Removed - Citywide Traffic Mitigation Fund Planning: $350,000,
2) Removed - City Fleet Electric Vehicle Charging Station (Design): $300,000.
On May 20, 2025, the City Council held a second Study Session to review the combined
FY 2025/26 Proposed Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Following Council discussion regarding the proposed CIP project to design landscaping
improvements within Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts (LLADs) 39 -2022 and
41-2021, the scope of the project was revised to be an initial design and construction
phase:
1) Revised Project Scope: Phase 1 - LLADs Irrigation and Landscape
Improvements. (Design & Const.): $600,000.
Since the May 20th Study Session, additional changes to the Draft FY 2025/26
7.1
Packet Pg. 39
Operating Budget are recommended as follows:
• An additional $46,525 in revenues for Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation
Account Fund (202) and $29,737 in revenues for Gas Tax Fund (205) to reflect
updated allocations from the State of California.
• An additional $3,376 in Revenues and Appropriations recommended for CDBG
Fund (225) to reflect the updated allocations from Los Angeles County
Development Authority (LACDA).
• An additional $45 thousand to be appropriated from the Equipment Maintenance
& Replacement Fund (503) to support additional report
programming/development for the new Enterprise Land Management (ELM)
system.
Compared to the prior year, the Proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget reflects a more
challenging fiscal environment, characterized by a structural deficit and a weakening
economic outlook. While the budget maintains funding for essential City programs and
services, and includes limited investments in maintenance and capital improvements,
the City must adopt a measured approach to long -term planning and financial
commitments. Management remains cautious and conservative this budget cycle,
recognizing ongoing pressures from escalating contract costs, rising labor, material and
operating expenses, higher energy and fuel prices, and broader economic uncertainty
portend a bumpy road ahead for the City, and possibly a wider economic slowdown.
Whereas the FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget contained a modest budgeted operating
deficit of $145 thousand, primarily attributed to the use of one -time reserves for one-
time costs, the Proposed FY 2025/26 Budget projects a General Fund surplus of
$49 thousand. Notably, this surplus is largely dependent on a one -time 37% reduction in
Transfers Out, highlighting a recurring structural imbalance that, if left unresolved, will
result in continued structural deficits.
A structural deficit occurs when a municipality’s ongoing (recurring) revenues are
insufficient to fund its ongoing expenditures under normal (status quo) economic
conditions. Unlike one-time or cyclical shortfalls, structural deficits require deliberate
policy actions, such as revenue enhancements or expenditure reforms, to eliminate the
underlying gap.
Without corrective action, the City will likely erode Unassigned General Fund reserves
in ten years, necessitating the use of Emergency Contingency Reserve Funds, and
further defer capital maintenance obligations to cover the recurring structural deficit.
Over time, this will constrain service levels or necessitate sudden, large revenue
increases.
Despite these fiscal challenges, the proposed budget prioritizes the implementation of
high-priority objectives set by the City Council and remains guided by the three
overarching goals found in the adopted FY 2024–2027 Strategic Plan:
• Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
7.1
Packet Pg. 40
• Open, Engaged and Responsive Government
• Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community
FY 2025/26 Proposed General Fund Budget Overview
The Proposed Operating Budget for the General Fund comprises estimated resources
of $32.3 million and expenditures of $32.3 million. Altogether, the operational budget
reflects a one-time surplus of $49 thousand:
General Fund Revenues & Expenditures
Revenues (On-going) $ 32,335,151
Expenses (One-time*) (32,286,151)
Addition to Fund Balance (One-Time) $ 49,000
*One-time expense adjustment made to balance budget (see below).
Despite a budgeted “paper” surplus of $49 thousand, the budget retains a structural
imbalance of approximately $702 thousand once one ‐time adjustments are removed.
This imbalance will reoccur for the foreseeable future requiring the use of fund balance
in the absence of structural changes to General Fund revenues or expenditures .

Revenue Highlights – General Fund: $32,335,151
Proposed General Fund revenues for FY 2025/26 have decreased $390 thousand, or
1.2%, when compared to the prior FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget. The following are
noteworthy General Fund revenue items incorporated into the proposed FY 2025/26
Operating Budget. The table below displays the prior two Adopted Budgets along with
the proposed budget for FY 2025/26, and the percent of change for next fiscal year.
Property Taxes Adopted Adopted Draft
FY 23/24 FY 24/25 FY 25/26
The estimated change in the City's net taxable value
of real property (secured & unsecured property) in the
City is expected to increase for FY 2025/26 which will
$6,438,183 $6,701,322 $6,971,047

result in year-over-year increase in all Property Tax
revenues of 4.02%. The City uses HdL as a
consultant to help monitor, audit and project this major
revenue source.
Property Tax in Lieu of VLF (Vehicle License Fees) Adopted Adopted Draft
FY 23/24 FY 24/25 FY 25/26
This revenue source grows at the same general pace
as the City's net assessed valuation. The City’s
consultant, HdL, also assists with the projection of this
significant revenue item.

4.02% 3.78%
Sales Taxes Adopted Adopted Draft
FY 23/24 FY 24/25 FY 25/26
Sales tax revenue is projected to decline by $183,000
compared to the prior year—a significant reversal
from the $115,000 increase forecasted last year by
the City’s sales tax consultant. This downward
revision is primarily driven by updated assumptions
regarding statewide and national economic growth.
The City is seeing notable declines across several
key sectors, including Fuel & Service Stations,
General Consumer Goods, Online Sales, and
Building & Construction

due to a decrease in Contract Classes and a
continued decline in revenues from Youth Sports
Programs.

Gas Tax – Transfer In Adopted Adopted Draft
FY 23/24 FY 24/25 FY 25/26
The Transfer-In from the Gas Tax Fund reimburses
the General Fund for eligible road maintenance
activities each year. However, as maintenance costs
continue to rise, available Gas Tax revenue remains
insufficient to fully cover these expenses. For FY
2025/26, total eligible costs are projected at $1.8
million—exceeding available Gas Tax funding by
$317,000.
$1,204,000 $1,475,000 $1,435,000
22.51% -2.71%
Expenditure Highlights - General Fund: $32,286,151
Proposed General Fund expenditures for FY 2025/26 have decreased by
$583 thousand, or 1.8%, compared to the prior year’s Adopted Budget. In response to
declining revenues, staff conducted a thorough review of all expense accounts and took
deliberate steps to reduce or eliminate expenses in order to present a balanced initial
draft. As a result, $1.04 million in expenditures has been removed from the Draft
FY 2025/26 Operating Budget being presented today.
7.1
Packet Pg. 43
Key reductions include decreases to the Transfer-Out category (as previously noted),
deferral of the Parking Lot Slurry Seal program at City parks, a reduction to Lobbying
Services for legislative advocacy, and a scale-back in Records Management activities.
The following highlighted items are presented for City Council consideration:
• Public Safety
Law Enforcement – FY 2025/26 County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department
(LASD) expenditures are expected to be approximately $8.8 million, representing
the single largest line item and approximately 27.4% (up from 25.6%) of
proposed General Fund expenditures. LASD proposed expenditures reflect a net
increase of $398 thousand year-over-year, inclusive of a contract rate increase of
4.37% (down from 3.44% in the prior year) plus an increased Liability Trust Fund
(LTF) surcharge of 13.0% (up from 12.5% in the prior year) on each contracted
position. The General Fund includes a transfer-in from the Law Enforcement
Reserve Fund in the amount of $50,000 for as-needed special assignments and
suppression patrols which have proven to be a cost-effective approach to
reducing crime and responding to specific public safety issues throughout the
year. Lastly, the professional services budget for Public Safety also includes the
third year of the Flock Agreement ($170,000) for the Automated License Plate
Reader system.
Crossing Guard Services – The City provides Crossing Guard Services at
seven (7) elementary schools and two (2) middle schools with a total of 16
guards. The total budget for crossing guard services in FY 2025/26 is $289,800.
This first contracted rate adjustment reflects a $9,800 increase as compared to
the prior three years which saw a fixed rate.
Animal Control – Since incorporation, the City contracts with the Inland Valley
Humane Society (IVHS) for animal control and licensing services. The current
agreement, last amended in 2021, follows a gross contract model in which the
City pays the full cost of services, offset by any licensing revenue collected by
IVHS. This year, three large member cities have withdrawn from IVHS (Montclair,
Chino, Ontario), prompting a change in the cost adjustment methodology. Rather
than applying the standard pro-rata pooled adjustment factor, a flat 15% increase
has been proposed for FY 2025/26.
The projected gross cost for IVHS services in FY 2025/26 is $647 thousand,
representing an $84 thousand increase over the prior year. After accounting for
estimated licensing and service fee revenues of $91 thousand, the proposed net
cost to the City is $557 thousand, an increase of $117 thousand compared to the
previous fiscal year.
• Human Resources – “Human Capital Investment Program” – Each year, the
City Council adopts the Compensation and Benefits Plan for the upcoming fiscal
year which includes cost of living adjustments, and employee positions with
associated salary ranges and benefits. To remain an “Employer of Choice” in the
7.1
Packet Pg. 44
region the City must continue to reinvest in its personnel (i.e. human capital) in a
manner similar to its capital projects and infrastructure. To identify and prioritize
investment in organizational staffing and organizational structure, and to
maintain, enhance and expand City programs, the City has developed a focused
effort, led by members of the City Manager’s executive team, referred to as the
Human Capital Investment Program (HCIP).
Cost-of-Living Adjustment – The City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations
specify that the City Manager may request that the City Council authorize a Cost -
of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for employees based on the March -to-March rates
of the federal Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers in Los Angeles/Orange Counties. This year’s CPI calculation in March
2025 was 3.1%. In order to avoid real wage losses and remain an “Employer of
Choice” in the surrounding Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino
counties, it is recommended that the salary schedules for all benefitted
classifications of employment including all executive positions, be increased by
3.1% effective with the pay period beginning June 28, 2025. A $100 per month
increase to the Benefit Allotment is also recommended for all benefitted
classifications of employment including the executive positions and members of
the City Council to help keep up with corresponding health premium rate
increases. This annual COLA and Benefit Allotment adjustment is a routine
maintenance item to preserve the City’s competitive compensation structure. The
total estimated cost is approximately $371 thousand, of which $322 thousand is
funded by the General Fund.
• Parks & Recreation
The proposed Parks & Recreation department budget was developed based on
continued community interest in valuable programs, services, and events.
Several programs and events offered this year to support an active and healthy
community include summer youth day camp, senior dances, field allocations with
sports organizations, contract classes, picnic reservations, and Concerts/Movies-
in-the-Park. This fiscal year will include the ever-popular Wedding and Event
Expo at the DBC to promote the facility, which is mostly a cost neutral event. All
special events including: Windmill Lighting, Winter Snow Fest, Veterans
Recognition, and the Halloween Party will continue to improve and bring the
community together.
Expenses for recreation programs ($2.76 million) and operations at the Diamond
Bar Center ($1.76 million) have been adjusted commensurate with the
anticipated activities, and with a combined budget of $4.52 million the Parks &
Recreation Department’s Proposed FY 2025/26 budget represents a total
decrease of $100 thousand from the prior year. The Diamond Bar Center rental
revenue is budgeted at $700 thousand, an increase of $25 thousand from the
prior year. However, DBC revenues may fluctuate slightly in FY 2025/26 due to
ongoing capital improvement projects scheduled for the facility in the late
Summer of 2025. Recreation program revenue is expected to be down
$85 thousand (12%) from the prior year amount of $703 thousand, with
7.1
Packet Pg. 45
$618 thousand budgeted for FY 2025/26. This decrease is mainly due to
decreased participation in contract classes and some youth sports.
Special Revenue Fund Highlights
• Integrated Waste Management Fund (250) – The proposed budget of
$899 thousand includes $21 thousand for expanded student waste reduction and
recycling field trips. The City has maintained a student environmental education
program with Discovery Cube for several years. Last year, the program
expanded to include 3rd and 4th graders in addition to its usual 5th and 6th
graders. Student participation exceeded the annual goal by February, well before
the school year ended. This program has been well -received by schools as it
provides a fun and interactive way to educate students about recycling, organic
waste, and sustainable purchasing choices. Additionally, it supports the goals of
SB 1383, particularly through Discovery Cube’s organics lab, which includes
composting and vermicomposting activities.
• Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts (LLADs) – Much work has been
done over the recent years to help address the operating deficits and reduce the
General Fund subsidies to the LLADs, particularly Districts 39-2022 and 41-2021.
Total General Fund contributions to all three districts for FY 2025/26 is budgeted
at $275 thousand, a decrease of $89 thousand from the prior year. Budgeted
resources and expenditures for all three districts for FY 2025/26 are as follows –
note that some districts are utilizing fund balance for proposed Capital
Improvement Projects listed in the Draft FY 2025/26 CIP Plan:

Changes to Dist. Fund Balance 114$ (354,449)$ (187,873)$
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
• AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Fund (251) – The proposed budget
of $74 thousand represents a decrease of $80 thousand and is recommended to
accommodate citizen requests for neighborhood traffic management program
(NTMP) improvements ($74 thousand). The year-over-year decrease is due to a
$10 thousand reduction in funding for the NTMP and the removal of
$70 thousand in funding previously allocated for zero-emissions replacement
vehicles.
• Beverage Container Recycling Grant Fund (254) – The proposed
$97 thousand budget includes $70 thousand for two (2) bottle refill stations at
Diamond Bar Center.
7.1
Packet Pg. 46
• Park Development Fund (262) – The proposed budget of $35 thousand is for
the design and manufacture of park and trail signs across the City. As the
majority of park rules, information, and directional signs were purchased in
FY 2024/25, there is a need to replace the faded, damaged and outdated trail
wayfinding, flora/fauna, and historical signs which have not been replaced in over
ten years. Many of these signs are undecipherable and staff recommends
recreating signs with QR codes to ensure up-to-date information for park users.
Debt Service Fund Highlights
• Debt Service Fund (401) – In May 2021, the City refunded the outstanding
Lease Revenue Bonds associated with the original acquisition and construction
of the Diamond Bar Center. This achieved a gross savings of $1.736 million and
present value savings of $1.63 million (or 20.85%) for the General Fund, which
translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual debt service savings for
the remainder of the term through June 1, 2033 at an effective interest rate of
1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by S&P as AA+ (top rating for this type of
bond) which is a testament to the Council’s conservative and prudent fiscal
policies. The total debt service (principal and interest) will be $723 thousand for
the upcoming year and is funded by a transfer to the Debt Service Fund from the
General Fund.
Internal Service Funds Highlights
• Self-Insurance Fund (501) – CA Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA)
covers the City’s Property, Pollution Liability, Crime, General Liability and
Workers’ Compensation needs. The combined premiums for Property, Pollution,
Crime and General Liability are anticipated to be approximately $651 thousand
which reflects a year-over-year increase of $116 thousand (21.7%) due mainly to
an increase in the annual General Liability contribution. Workers’ Compensation
costs have increased $4 thousand to $141 thousand and are included in the
various personnel line-item budgets for all city funds.
Historically, as the City initially operated as a self-insured entity, it maintained a
$1 million fund balance reserve in the Self-Insurance Fund (Resolution No. 89-
53) to address potential insurance-related needs. However, given the critical
need for one-time resources to help address the structural deficit in the FY
2025/26 budget, a permanent reduction of this reserve to $250 thousand is
recommended. This adjustment is considered appropriate in light of the City’s
current participation in the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA),
which provides comprehensive insurance coverage and related services. The
recommended $250 thousand reserve level will serve as a prudent minimum
balance to cover any uninsured or unforeseen losses or deductibles. A resolution
amending the City’s Fund Balance and Reserve Funding Policy is included in
Attachment 8.
• Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement Fund (502) – The proposed budget of
$262 thousand is recommended for necessary operations and maintenance of
7.1
Packet Pg. 47
the citywide fleet, as well as the purchase of one replacement Public Works
vehicle.
• Computer Equipment Maint. & Replacement Fund (503) – The proposed
budget of $332 thousand is recommended for necessary information systems,
hardware upgrades, and replacements, such as:
o (7) Replacement Servers
o (3) Laser Printer Replacements
o New Touch-Screens for Employee Time Keeping
o New Tablets for New Enterprise Land Management (ELM) System
o Report Development for New ELM
o Phase 2 ELM System Integration with Laserfische and Financial System
• Building Facility & Replacement Fund (504) – The proposed budget of $89
thousand is recommended for necessary facility maintenance projects not
categorized as capital improvement projects, such as:
o City Hall Elevator Control Upgrade;
o City Hall Cubical Modifications and Office Furniture.
Fiduciary Fund
• OPEB Trust Fund (601) – The proposed budget for this fund consists only of
revenue via a transfer-in from the General Fund in the amount of $88,000 and
investment earnings in the amount of $26,600 designated to fund the City’s Other
Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust, an investment vehicle managed by
CalPERS for the purpose of reducing the City’s long -term OPEB liabilities (e.g.
retiree medical costs). This amount is unchanged from the prior fiscal year.
There are no expenses budgeted in this fund.
Capital Improvement Program
The Proposed FY 2025/26 CIP budget includes five (5) new projects totaling
$5.2 million, encompasses three project categories and represents an expenditure
decrease of 63.0% when compared to the Adopted CIP for FY 2024/25. The revised
program does not include any projects funded by the General Fund.
Below is the list of proposed CIP projects for FY 2025/26:
• Pavement Rehabilitation Design Project FYs 2026-28
- (Arterials, Residential, Collector Street Rehab, and CDBG Curb Ramps).
7.1
Packet Pg. 48
• Arterial Street Rehab (Construction)
- Brea Canyon Rd from DBB to Pathfinder
- Brea Canyon Rd from Pathfinder to Golden Springs Dr
- Diamond Bar Blvd from Westbound SR 60 off-ramp to northern City
Limits
• CDBG Area 6 ADA Curb Ramp Project (Construction)
• Battery Back-Up and CCTV Replacement Program FY25/26 (Const.)
• Phase 1 - LLADs Irrigation and Landscape Improvements. (Design &
Const.)
B. FY 2025/26 Gann Appropriations Limit
Voters approved Proposition 4 in November of 1979, an initiative that added Article
XIII B to the California Constitution. This constitutional amendment, also known as the
Gann initiative, provided a baseline appropriations limit for the City and capped
expenditures for publicly funded programs. Pursuant to California statute, the City must
calculate and adopt its annual appropriations limit by first applying an annual growth
factor. The adopted limit then places a ceiling on the total amount of tax revenue s the
City may collect the following year to support City programs.
The appropriations limit can be calculated by the use of one of the following factors:
1. Based on the growth factor of City population change over the prior year and the
change in the California per capita income over the prior year: 1.0637.
2. Based on the growth factor of County population change over the prior year and
the change in the California per capita income over the prior year: 1.0676.
3. Based on the growth factor of change in the City’s non-residential new
construction valuation and the change in the County or City population: 1.0142 and
1.0105 respectively.
California statute allows cities to use whichever factor is most favorable to its calculated
limit. Therefore, the recommended growth factor used to compute the Gann
appropriations limit for FY 2025/26 is the change in the County population and change
in California per capita income: 1.0676. By using this growth factor, the City will have an
appropriation limit of $65,424,852 for FY 2025/26. The City’s FY 2025/26 appropriations
subject to the limit amount to $24,127,386 and are found to be under the calculated
appropriations limit (Attachment 3).
C. FY 2025/26 Compensation Plan
In June 2024, the City Council adopted and amended the City of Diamond Bar
Compensation Plan (Resolution No. 2024-20) effective for FY 2024/25. As discussed
7.1
Packet Pg. 49
above in Section A, the proposed changes to the Compensation Plan for FY 202 5/26
includes cost-of-living adjustments and an adjustment to the standard benefit allotment
(Attachments 4 & 5).
D. FY 2025/26 Fund Balance and Reserve Policy
In August 2019, the City Council adopted the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy
(Resolution No. 2019-01) establishing various reserve minimums for City funds. The
Self-Insurance Fund (501) was not included in this policy. The attached resolution
approves an amended Fund Balance and Reserve Policy to include the Self Insurance
Fund and adjust its funding level to a minimum fund balance of $250,000. The
resolution rescinds outdated Resolutions No. 89-53 and 2019-36 in their entirety
(Attachments 6 & 7).
E. FY 2025/26 Investment Policy
The Investment Policy states the goals of the City’s investment activities, the types of
investments in which the City is permitted to invest its funds, and the reporting
requirements. It is updated as necessary and reapproved by the City Council each year
with approval of the Operating Budget.
In June 2024, the City Council adopted the most recent Investment Policy (Resolution
No. 2024-21) which was prepared in accordance with the provisions outlined in the
California Municipal Treasurer’s Association (CMTA) Investment Policy Certification
Program. CMTA is solely focused on public agency treasury management in the State
of California which lends itself more closely to the City’s investment requirements and
goals. There are no changes recommended to the current investment policy at this time
(Attachments 8 & 9).
SUMMARY
The Proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program reflects
a more challenging fiscal environment than in previous years, marked by a structural
deficit and a weakening economic outlook. While the budget continues to fund a broad
range of essential City programs and services and includes limited investments in
maintenance and capital improvements, as well as human capital, it also presents a
measured and cautious approach to the City’s long -term planning and financial
commitments.
Staff is currently working on a comprehensive strategy to build sustainable revenues
over the long-term and will engage in discussions with the City Council to explore
options in the coming months. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council adopt
the attached Resolutions to approve the FY 2025/26 Operating and Capital
Improvement Program Budget, along with the related Gann Appropriations Limit, and
amendments to the City’s Compensation & Benefits Plan, Fund Balance and Reserve
Policy, and Investment Policy.

Honorable Mayor and Council Members
City of Diamond Bar
RE: City Manager’s Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year 20 25/26
Presented for your consideration and approval, is the City’s Annual Operating
Budget and Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26.
Compared to the prior year, the Draft FY 2025/26 Operating Budget reflects a
more challenging fiscal environment, characterized by a structural deficit and
a weakening economic outlook. While the budget maintains funding for
essential City programs and services, and includes limited investments in
maintenance and capital improvements, the City must adopt a measured
approach to long-term planning and financial commitments. Management
remains cautious and conservative this budget cycle, recognizing ongoing
pressures from escalating contract costs, rising labor, material and operating
expenses, higher energy and fuel prices, and broader economic uncertainty
portend a bumpy road ahead for the City, and possibly a wider economic
slowdown.
Whereas the FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget contained a modest budgeted
operating deficit of $145 thousand, primarily attributed to the use of one -time
reserves for one-time costs, the Proposed FY 2025/26 Budget projects a General
Fund surplus of $49 thousand. Notably, this surplus is largely dependent on a one -
time 37% reduction in Transfers Out, highlighting a recurring structural imbalance
that, if left unresolved, will result in continued st ructural deficits.
A structural deficit occurs when a municipality’s ongoing (recurring) revenues
are insufficient to fund its ongoing expenditures under normal (status quo)
economic conditions. Unlike one-time or cyclical shortfalls, structural deficits
require deliberate p olicy actions, such as revenue enhancements or
expenditure reforms, to eliminate the underlying gap.
Without corrective action, the City will likely erode Unassigned General Fund
reserves in ten years, necessitating the use of Emergency Contingency Reserve
Funds, and further defer capital maintenance obligations to cover the recurring
structural deficit. Over time, this will constrain service levels or necessitate
sudden, large revenue increases

7.1.b
Packet Pg. 61
With that said, the proposed budget continues to implement the various
objectives and priorities of the City Council guided by the adopted FY 2024 -2027
Strategic Plan .
The proposed General Fund Budget reflects the following estimated resources
and expenditures:
Budgeted Resources (On-going): $32,335,151
Budgeted Expenditures (One-time*): (32,286,151)
Net Surplus (One-time) + $49,000
*One-time expense adjustment made to balance budget (see below).
Despite a budgeted “paper” surplus of $49 thousand, the budget retains a
structural imbalance of approximately $702 thousand once one ‐time expense
adjustments are removed. This imbalance will reoccur for the foreseeable future
requiring the use of fund balance in the absence of structural changes to
General Fund revenues or expenditures:
Underlying Structural Deficit (General Fund)
Projected FY 2025/26 Surplus
Less One-Time Budget Balancing Strategy:
$ 49,000
Elimination of Transfer-Out to Self-Insurance Fund (750,744)
Recurring Structural Deficit $ (701,744)

2024-2027 Strategic Plan
In April 2023, the City Council adopted the 2024-2027
Diamond Bar Strategic Plan which set high-level
aspirational goals and priorities for the community over
a three-year period. The Strategic Plan builds upon
past success and is designed to serve as the
foundation for consistent policy and funding decisions,
while being flexible enough to adapt to new,
unforeseen challenges and issues.
The 2024-2027 Strategic Plan includes the following
Core Values:
• Community & Livability
• Transparency & Accountability
• Service & Professionalism
To meet these Core Values, the plan establishes Goals and Objectives that set
priorities for consistent policy making and guide the day-to-day operations of the
City. Performance Measures are also identified which are used as key indicators
to gauge progress over time. There are three (3) overarching Goals that include:
1. Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
2. Open, Engaged and Responsive Government
3. Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community
FY 2025/26 Department Work Plans
The FY 2025/26 Budget also includes Department Work Plans that highlight some
of the key initiatives and projects that will be supported, with funding sources, over
the next year. The Work Plan items are each tied to the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan
Goals and Objectives, and Performance Measures, as a way to measure
progress.

FY 2025/26 BUDGET SUMMARY
Estimated General Fund Resources - $32,335,151
The following highlighted items have been incorporated into the revenue
estimates:
• Property Taxes – Property tax revenue is projected to increase by 4.02% to
$7.0 million. Property Tax In Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF) is projected to
increase 3.78% to $8.1 million.
• Sales Tax – Sales tax revenues are projected to decline by 2.78% to $6.4 million.
Year-over-year decreases are driven mainly by fuel and services stations,
business & industry, and online sales.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) – Transient Occupancy Tax is projected to
remain flat, staying at $1.4 million.
• Franchise Fees – Franchise fee revenues are projected to total $1.52 million, a
decrease of 2.52%.
• Gas Tax – Transfer In – Gas tax revenue transferred to the General Fund from
the Gas Tax Fund are projected to decrease by 2.71% to $1.4 million. These
funds are used to reimburse the General Fund for as-needed street
maintenance not already included in the annual Capital Improvement
Program.
• Current Service Charges – Revenue from all sources of service charges is
estimated as follows:
o Building Permit Activity – Decrease of 16.43% to $1.6 million.
o Facility Lease/Rentals – Increase of 4.37% to $1.1 million.
o Recreation Programs – Decrease of 12.09% to $618 thousand.

Estimated General Fund Appropriations - $32,286,151
The following highlighted items have been incorporated into the expenditure
estimates:
• Public Safety
Law Enforcement – FY 2025/26 County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department
(LASD) expenditures are expected to be approximately $8.8 million,
representing the single largest line item and approximately 27.4% (up from
25.6%) of proposed General Fund expenditures. LASD proposed expenditures
reflect a net increase of $398 thousand year-over-year, inclusive of a contract
rate increase of 4.37% (down from 3.44% in the prior year) plus an increased
Liability Trust Fund (LTF) surcharge of 13.0% (up from 12.5% in the prior year) on
each contracted position. The General Fund includes a transfer -in from the
Law Enforcement Reserve Fund in the amount of $50,000 for as-needed
special assignments and suppression patrols which have proven to be a cost -
effective approach to reducing crime and responding to specific public
safety issues throughout the year. Lastly, the professional services budget for
Public Safety also includes the third year of the Flock Agreement ($170,000) for
the Automated License Plate Reader system.
Crossing Guard Services – The City provides Crossing Guard Services at seven
(7) elementary schools and two (2) middle schools with a total of 16 guards.
The total budget for crossing guard services in FY 2025/26 is $289,800. This first
contracted rate adjustment reflects a $9,800 increase as compared to the
prior three years which saw a fixed rate.
Animal Control – Since incorporation, the City has contracted with the Inland
Valley Humane Society (IVHS) for animal control and licensing services. The
current agreement, last amended in 2021, follows a gross contract model in
which the City pays the full cost of services, offset by any licensing revenue
collected by IVHS. This year, three large member cities have withdrawn from
IVHS (Montclair, Chino, Ontario), prompting a change in the cost adjustment
methodology. Rather than applying the standard pro-rata pooled adjustment
factor, a flat 15% increase has been proposed for FY 2025/26.
The projected gross cost for IVHS services in FY 2025/26 is $647 thousand,
representing an $84 thousand increase over the prior year. After accounting
for estimated licensing and service fee revenues of $91 thousand, the
proposed net cost to the City is $557 thousand, an increase of $117 thousand
compared to the previous fiscal year.

7.1.b
Packet Pg. 65
• Human Resources – “Human Capital Investment Program” – Each year, the
City Council adopts the Compensation and Benefits Plan for the upcoming
fiscal year which includes cost of living adjustments, and employee positions
with associated salary ranges and benefits. To remain an “Employer of
Choice” in the region the City must continue to reinvest in its personnel (i.e.
human capital) in a manner similar to its capital projects and infrastructure. To
identify and prioritize investment in organizational staffing and organizationa l
structure, and to maintain, enhance and expand City programs, the City has
developed a focused effort, led by members of the City Manager’s executive
team, referred to as the Human Capital Investment Program (HCIP).
Cost-of-Living Adjustment – The City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations specify
that the City Manager may request that the City Council authorize a Cost -of-
Living Adjustment (COLA) for employees based on the March -to-March rates
of the federal Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers in Los Angeles/Orange Counties. This year’s CPI calculation in March
2025 was 3.1%. In order to avoid real wage losses and remain an “Employer of
Choice” in the surrounding Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino
counties, it is recommended that the salary schedules for all benefitted
classifications of employment including all executive positions, be increased
by 3.1% effective with the pay period beginning June 28, 2025. A $100 per
month increase to the Benefit Allotment is also recommended for all
benefitted classifications of employment including the executive positions and
members of the City Council to help keep up with corresponding health
premium rate increases. This annual COLA and Benefit Allotment adjustment
is a routine maintenance item to preserve the City’s competitive
compensation structure. The total estimated cost is approximately $371
thousand, of which $322 thousand is funded by the General Fund.
• Parks & Recreation Programs – The proposed Parks & Recreation department
budget was developed based on continued community interest in valuable
programs, services, and events. Several programs and events offered this year
to support an active and healthy community include summer youth day
camp, senior dances, field allocations with sports organizations, contract
classes, picnic reservations, and Concerts/Movies-in-the-Park. This fiscal year
will include the ever-popular Wedding and Event Expo at the DBC to promote
the facility, which is mostly a cost neutral event. All special events including:
12
7.1.b
Packet Pg. 66
Windmill Lighting, Winter Snow Fest, Veterans Recognition, and the Halloween
Party will continue to improve and bring the community together.
Expenses for recreation programs ($2.76 million) and operations at the
Diamond Bar Center ($1.76 million) have been adjusted commensurate with
the anticipated activities, and with a combined budget of $4.52 million the
Parks & Recreation Department’s Proposed FY 2025/26 budget represents a
total decrease of $100 thousand from the prior year. The Diamond Bar Center
rental revenue is budgeted at $700 thousand, an increase of $25 thousand
from the prior year. However, DBC revenues may fluctuate slightly in FY
2025/26 due to ongoing capital improvement projects scheduled for the
facility in the late Summer of 2025. Recreation program revenue is expected
to be down $85 thousand (12%) from the prior year amount of $703 thousand,
with $618 thousand budgeted for FY 2025/26. This decrease is mainly due to
decreased participation in contract classes and some youth sports.
Special Revenue Fund Highlights
• Integrated Waste Management Fund (250) – The proposed budget of
$899 thousand includes $21 thousand for expanded student waste reduction
and recycling field trips. The City has maintained a student environmental
education program with Discovery Cube for several years. Last year, the
program expanded to include 3rd and 4th graders in addition to its usual 5th
and 6th graders. Student participation exceeded the annual goal by
February, well before the school year ended. This program has been well-
received by schools as it provides a fun and interactive way to educate
students about recycling, organic waste, and sustainable purchasing choices.
Additionally, it supports the goals of SB 1383, particularly through Discovery
Cube’s organics lab, which includes composting and vermicomposting
activities.
• Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts (LLADs) – Much work has been done
over the recent years to help address the operating deficits and reduce the
General Fund subsidies to the LLADs, particularly Districts 39-2022 and 41-2021.
Total General Fund contributions to all three districts for FY 2025/26 is budgeted
at $275 thousand, a decrease of $89 thousand from the prior year.

7.1.b
Packet Pg. 67
• AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Fund (251) – The proposed budget of
$74 thousand represents a decrease of $80 thousand and is recommended to
accommodate citizen requests for neighborhood traffic management
program (NTMP) improvements ($74 thousand). The year-over-year decrease
is due to a $10 thousand reduction in funding for the NTMP and the removal of
$70 thousand in funding previously allocated for zero-emissions replacement
vehicles.
• Beverage Container Recycling Grant Fund (254) – The proposed $97 thousand
budget includes $70 thousand for two (2) bottle refill stations at Diamond Bar
Center.
• Park Development Fund (262) – The proposed budget of $35 thousand is for
the design and manufacture of park and trail signs across the City. As the
majority of park rules, information, and directional signs were purchased in FY
2024/25, there is a need to replace the faded, damaged an d outdated trail
wayfinding, flora/fauna, and historical signs which have not been replaced in
over ten years. Many of these signs are undecipherable and staff
recommends recreating signs with QR codes to ensure up-to-date information
for park users.
Debt Service Fund Highlights
• Debt Service Fund (401) – In May 2021, the City refunded the outstanding
Lease Revenue Bonds associated with the original acquisition and
construction of the Diamond Bar Center. This achieved a gross savings of
$1.736 million and present value savings of $1.63 million (or 20.85%) for the
General Fund, which translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual
debt service savings for the remainder of the term through June 1, 2033 at an
effective interest rate of 1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by S&P as AA+ (top
rating for this type of bond) which is a testament to the Council’s conservative
and prudent fiscal policies. The total debt service (principal and interest) will
be $723 thousand for the upcoming year and is funded by a transfer to the
Debt Service Fund from the General Fund.

covers the City’s Property, Pollution Liability, Crime, General Liability and
Workers’ Compensation needs. The combined premiums for Property,
Pollution, Crime and General Liability are anticipated to be approximately
$651 thousand which reflects a year-over-year increase of $116 thousand
(21.7%) due mainly to an increase in the annual General Liability
contribution. Workers’ Compensation costs have increased $4 thousand to
$141 thousand and are included in the various personnel line-item budgets
for all city funds.
Historically, as the City initially operated as a self-insured entity, it
maintained a $1 million fund balance reserve in the Self -Insurance Fund
(Resolution No. 89-53) to address potential insurance-related needs.
However, given the critical need for one-time resources to help address the
structural deficit in the FY 2025/26 budget, a permanent reduction of this
reserve to $250 thousand is recommended. This adjustment is considered
appropriate in light of the City’s current participation in the California Joint
Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), which provides comprehensive
insurance coverage and related services. The recommended
$250 thousand reserve level will serve as a prudent minimum balance to
cover any uninsured or unforeseen losses or deductibles. A resolution
amending the City’s Fund Balance and Reserve Funding Policy will be
added to the June 3, 2025 FY 2025/26 Budget Adoption report for the City
Council’s consideration.
• Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement Fund (502) – The proposed budget of
$262 thousand is recommended for necessary operations and maintenance
of the citywide fleet, as well as the purchase of one replacement Public Works
vehicle.
• Computer Equipment Maint. & Replacement Fund (503) – The proposed
budget of $287 thousand is recommended for necessary information systems,
hardware upgrades, and replacements, such as:
o (7) Replacement Servers
o New Tablets for New Enterprise Land Management (ELM) System
o (3) Laser Printer Replacements
o Phase 2 ELM System Integration with Laserfische and Financial System
o New Touch-Screens for Employee Time Keeping.

• Building Facility & Replacement Fund (504) – The proposed budget of
$89 thousand is recommended for necessary facility maintenance projects
not categorized as capital improvement projects, such as:
o City Hall Elevator Control Upgrade;
o City Hall Cubical Modifications and Office Furniture.
Fiduciary Fund
• OPEB Trust Fund (601) – The proposed budget for this fund consists only of
revenue via a transfer-in from the General Fund in the amount of $88,000
and investment earnings in the amount of $26,600 designated to fund the
City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust, an investment vehicle
managed by CalPERS for the purpose of reducing the City’s long -term
OPEB liabilities (e.g. retiree medical costs). This amount is unchanged from
the prior fiscal year. There are no expenses budgeted in this fund.
Capital Improvement Program Highlights
The FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget includes five (5) new
projects totaling $5.2 million designated for improvements to the City’s’ streets,
traffic infrastructure, and landscapes. The CIP represents an expenditure
decrease of 63.0% when compared to the Adopted CIP for FY 2024/25 and does
not include any projects funded by the General Fund. The CIP was reviewed for
consistency with the City’s General Plan at the May 13, 2025 Planning Commission
Meeting. Major CIP projects include:
• Pavement Rehabilitation Design Project FYs 2026 -28
- (Arterials, Residential, Collector Street Rehab, and CDBG Curb
Ramps).
• Arterial Street Rehab (Construction)
- Brea Canyon Rd from DBB to Pathfinder
- Brea Canyon Rd from Pathfinder to Golden Springs Dr
- Diamond Bar Blvd from Westbound SR 60 off-ramp to northern City
Limits
• CDBG Area 6 ADA Curb Ramp Project (Construction)
• Battery Back-Up and CCTV Replacement Program FY25/26 (Const.)

CONCLUSION
The Proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program
reflects a more challenging fiscal environment than in previous years, marked by
a structural deficit and a weakening economic outlook. While the budget
continues to fund a broad range of essential City programs and services and
includes limited investments in maintenance and capital improvements, as well
as human capital, it also presents a measured and cautious approach to the
City’s long-term planning and financial commitments.
Staff is currently working on a comprehensive strategy to build sustainable
revenues over the long-term and will engage in discussions with the City Council
to explore options in the coming months.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Executive Management Team,
especially Finance Director Jason M. Jacobsen, for their efforts in preparing this
year’s Budget. I would also like to thank all of our talented and dedicated staff
for their continued and unwavering flexibility, creativity and support in the delivery
of city services.
I would like to recognize the City Council for their effective fiscal leadership and
commitment to serving the community. It is through the City Council’s forward-
thinking leadership and prudent fiscal practices, that Diamond Bar is able to
deliver a commitment to service excellence and strive to achieve our Community
Values: Community & Livability, Transparency & Accountability, Service &
Professionalism.

BASIS OF BUDGETING
The City of Diamond Bar's annual operating budget is prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) unless otherwise noted below:
1. The budgetary basis for governmental funds (e.g. General Fund, CIP Fund, Special Revenue funds, Debt
Service Fund) is in conformity with GAAP, with a few minor exceptions. In conformity with GAAP, the modified
accrual basis of accounting is used wherein revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they
become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period, while expenditures are
recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred. However, in the following cases the
budgetary basis differs from GAAP:
a. Adjustments to recognize gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in their market value are
not budgeted.
b. Items reported as “other financing sources” and “other financing uses” are classified as revenues and
expenditures under the budgetary basis of accounting.
2. The budgetary basis for proprietary funds (e.g. Internal Service funds) is in conformity with GAAP, using the
accrual basis of accounting for all revenues and expenses, except for the following instances:
a. The receipt of long-term debt proceeds, capital outlays, and debt service principal payments are budgeted,
but allocations for depreciation and amortization
expense are not.
Each of the City's funds is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that
records assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenue and expenditures. Funds are established and segregated for
the purpose of recording specific programs or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special
regulations.
The General Fund accounts for all the general revenue of the City not specifically levied or collected for other
City funds and for expenditures related to rendering the general services provided by the City. The City of
Diamond Bar has twenty-nine Special Revenue Funds that are used to account for specific revenues that are
legally restricted to expenditure for particular purposes. The Capital Project Fund is used to account for the
purchase or construction of major capital facilities. The Debt Service Fund is used to account for principal and
interest payments on outstanding fixed rate bonds. Internal Service Funds are used to account for goods and
services provided to other departments within the City such as liability insurance and equipment replacement.

BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS
The City Manager is responsible to the City Council for the faithful execution of the City Budget. In order to
ensure authorized expenditures are managed in the most efficient and economical manner possible, the City
Council authorizes the City Manager to increase or transfer appropriations within the General Fund, Special
Revenue Fund or any other unrestricted Fund. The City’s budget may be amended in the following ways:
- If a fund has an Undesignated Fund Balance during the Fiscal Year, the City Manager may approve requests
for budget increases with Council approval.
- Budget adjustments between a department’s line items with a null effect on the overall department budget
may be made with the City Manager’s approval.
- During the fiscal year, the City Council may modify approved programs and activities or implement new
activities that may require budget amendments. On such occasions when the Council approves a project
without amending the budget, that approval will constitute authority for the Finance Director to amend the
budget subject to the City Manager’s approval.
-The City Manager may approve budget amendments to carryover appropriations from the prior year, as
authorized by the annual budget resolution.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City’s budget development is shaped by several financial and operational polices. These policies promote
and ensure organizational continuity, consistency, transparency, and responsibility from year to year. This
section identifies some of the major short and long-term planning documents, financial and operational
policies, and fiscal management tools that the City of Diamond Bar employs in order to guarantee fiscal and
programmatic integrity and to guide the development of the City’s budget.
Annual Budget and Financial Reporting Policy
The purpose of this policy is to ensure a balanced annual operating budget and reporting procedures to
safeguard public funds and maximize resources available for use by the City in delivering programs and
services. A balanced budget is defined as a budget in which operating revenues should cover operating
expenditures, including debt service. The ending fund balance must meet minimum policy levels. For the
general fund, this level has been stablished at 25%. Under this policy, it is allowable for total expenditures to
exceed revenues in a given year; however, in this sutation, beginning fund balance can only be used to fund
capital improvement plan projects, or other "one-time," non-recurring expenditures.
CAL Card Use Policy
The City of Diamond Bar has joined the CAL Card program which is administered through the State General
Services Division and US Bank. This program provides a mechanism for government agencies to provide
purchasing cards to their employees to expedite purchases of goods and services. This policy sets forth
policies and procedures for CAL Card usage.
Compensation for City Commissioners/Committee Members
The purpose of this policy is to establish compensation for attendance at Commission/Committee Meetings for
City Commissioners/Committee Members.
Drawing Warrants and Checks Upon City Funds
California State law requires the Mayor and City Clerk to execute and countersign all warrants and checks
issued for payment from City funds. Government Code Section 37203 provides that the City Council may
prescribe an alternative method for drawing warrants and checks. Through adoption of this Policy, the City
Council established an alternative method to insure the timely drawing of warrants and checks upon City
funds.
Travel, Expense and Reimbursement Policy
The City of Diamond Bar recognizes the value of attendance by City officials and employees at professional
conferences, seminars, meetings with other government officials, professional organizations, community
organizations, and constituents and ceremonial events and activities that promote or benefit the City. This
policy establishes travel authorization, expense, reimbursement, and reporting standards consistent with the
provisions of this policy and in compliance with California Government Code Sections 53232.2 and 53232.3.

Fixed Asset Capitalization and Inventory Control Policy
The purpose of this policy is to ensure adequate control and appropriate use of City fixed assets. The
procedures are intended to define fixed assets and to establish guidelines for budgeting, purchasing and
disposing fixed assets. This policy does not apply to infrastructure assets.
Anti-Fraud Policy
To establish policy and procedures for clarifying acts that are considered to be fraudulent, describing the steps
to be taken when fraud or other related dishonest activities are suspected, and providing procedures to follow
in accounting for missing funds, restitution and recoveries.
Cash Handling Policy
The purpose of this policy is to safeguard public funds and also to maximize resources available for use by the
City in delivering programs and services. These policies recognize the decentralized nature of the receipting
and depositing process, while providing for standardized procedures.
Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish a key element of the financial stability of the City by setting guidelines
for fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is an important measure of economic stability. It is essential that
the City maintain adequate levels of unassigned fund balance to mitigate financial risk that can occur for
unforeseen revenue fluctuations, unanticipated expenditures, and other unexpected circumstances. The fund
balance also provides cash flow liquidity for the City's general operations.
Capital Financing and Debt Management Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the City's utilization of capital financing and debt for
capital improvement projects, property acquisition, and projects whose useful life will exceed the term of the
financing.
Unclaimed Funds Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish the proper disposition and accounting for unclaimed money in
accordance with Government Code Sections 50050 through 50056.
Investment Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporarily idle cash
and to 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 pooled funds in accordance with the
applicable local, state and federal laws.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE

taxable properties within the jurisdiction from the prior year. As mentioned, this tax is an additional property
tax to the other property tax apportionments. These funds are included in the budget as 'Property Tax In-
Liue of VLF' revenue.

205 - GAS TAX FUND
FUND DESCRIPTION
The City receives funds from Sections 2105, 2106, 2107, and 2107.5 of the Streets and Highway Code. State
law requires that these revenues be recorded in a Special Revenue Fund, and that they be utilized solely for
street related purposes such as new construction, rehabilitation or maintenance. It is anticipated that the
City will use Gas Tax Funds to fund ongoing street maintenance programs to the extent possible. Any
remaining funds will be used to assist in the funding of the City's Capital Improvement Project Program.
Beginning in FY 2011/2012, the State replaced Prop 42 funds with Highway Users Tax.

401 - DEBT SERVICE FUND
FUND DESCRIPTION
This fund was established to account for governmental debt incurred by the City. The Debt Service fund will
account for the payment of principal, interest and related administrative costs incurred (e.g. bank fees). The
General Fund makes a transfer-in to the Debt Service Fund to provide the resources needed to meet the
City’s debt obligations.
The City’s only outstanding debt relates to the 2002 financing needed for the acquisition and construction
of the Diamond Bar Center. In May 2021, the City refunded $7.83 million of the outstanding Lease Revenue
Bonds associated with the original 2002 acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. This
achieved a gross savings of $1.736 million and present value savings of $1.633 million (or 20.85%) which
translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual debt service savings to the General Fund for the
remainder of the term (June 2033), and an effective interest rate of 1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by
S&P as AA+ (top rating for this type of bond) which is a testament to the City Council's prudent fiscal policies.
The total debt service (principal and interest) will be $712,600 for FY 2023-24. The current bonds mature
June 1, 2033 and the outstanding amount is approximately $5.8 million as of July 1, 2023. The City’s legal
debt limit as of June 30, 2022 is $422,238,938.

APPROPRIATION LIMIT CALCULATION (GANN
LIMIT)
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, more commonly referred to as the Gann Initiative or Gann
Limit, was approved by California voters in November 1979 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of
taxes that state and local governmental agencies can receive and spend in one year.
The limit is different for each agency and the limit changes each year. Each year's limit is based on the
amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in fiscal year 1978-79 in each agency, modified for
changes in inflation and population in each subsequent year. For cities which incorporated after 1978-79,
such as the City of Diamond Bar, the initial appropriations limit was set by the voters at the time of
incorporation. The City of Diamond Bar's base year is 1989-90.
Each year the City Council must adopt, by resolution an appropriations limit for the following year. The factor
that the City uses to compute the appropriation limit is based on the growth factor of the County population
change over the prior year and the change in the California per capita income. By using this factor the City
will have an appropriation limit of $65,424,852 for FY 2025-26.

EXHIBIT “A”
Investment Policy
1. Policy
1.1 This Statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent
investment of the City of Diamond Bar’s (“City”) temporarily idle cash
and to 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 pooled funds in accordance with
the applicable local, state and federal laws.
It is the policy of the City Council to review, update and adopt the City's
Investment Policy on an annual basis.
2. Scope
2.1 This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City of
Diamond Bar.
The Policy applies to the following funds and is accounted for in the
City’s annual audited financial statements.
a. General Fund
b. Special Revenue Funds
c. Debt Service Funds
d. Capital Improvement Fund
e. Internal Service Funds
3. Standards of Prudence
3.1 The City Treasurer (or Finance Director) authorized to make investment
decisions on behalf of the City of Diamond Bar investing public funds
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 292
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 2 of 37
pursuant to this policy are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to
the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing,
acquiring, exchanging, selling and managing public funds, a trustee
shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including but not limited to, the general
economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a
prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those
matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with
like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of
the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual
investments as part of an overall strategy, the City Treasurer or Finance
Director is authorized to acquire investments as authorized by law.
4. Investment Objectives
4.1 The investment of funds of the City of Diamond Bar is directed to the
goals of safety, liquidity and yield. The authority governing investments
for municipal governments is set forth in the Government Code, Sections
53600, et. seq.
4.1.1. Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the
investment program. Investments of the City of Diamond Bar shall
be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation
of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City
of Diamond Bar will diversify its investments by investing funds
among a variety of securities with independent returns. The City
will operate only in those investments that are considered very
safe.
4.1.2. Liquidity. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to
meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably
anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so
that securities mature at the same time as cash is needed to meet
anticipated demands. Additionally, since all possible cash
demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio will consist largely
of securities with active secondary or resale markets or local
government investment pools which offer same-day liquidity for
short-term funds.
4.1.3. Yield. The investment portfolio shall be designed with the
objective of achieving a competitive market rate of return or
yield, while taking into account the investment risk constraints and
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 293
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 3 of 37
liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance
compared to safety and liquidity. The core investments shall be
limited to low risk securities to be held to maturity with the following
exceptions:
a. A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize
loss of principal.
b. A security swap would improve the quality, yield or target
duration of the portfolio.
c. The liquidity needs of the portfolio require security to be sold.
5. Delegation of Authority
5.1 Authority to manage the City of Diamond Bar’s investment program is
derived from Section 2.16.210 of the City of Diamond Bar’s Municipal
Code which designates the City Manager to perform all duties
associated with the legal function of the treasurer position.
Management responsibility is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer
who shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and for
establishing a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate
officials, and their procedures in the absence of the Treasurer.
6. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
6.1 Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain
from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution
of the investment program or which could impair their ability to make
impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials are
required to file annual disclosure statements as required for “public
officials who manage public investments” (as defined and required by
the Political Reform Act and related regulations, being Government
Code Sections 81000 and the Fair Political Practices Commission [FPPC]).
7. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
7.1 The Treasurer (or Finance Director) will maintain a list of approved
financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the
public agency in the State of California. A determination should be
made to insure that all approved broker/dealer firms and individuals
covering the City of Diamond Bar are reputable and trustworthy. In
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 294
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 4 of 37
addition, the broker/dealer firms should have the ability to meet all of
their financial obligations in dealing with the City of Diamond Bar. The
firms and individuals covering the City of Diamond Bar should be
knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and the
investment products involved. No public deposit shall be made except
in a qualified public depository as established by State law. All financial
institutions and broker/dealers who desire to conduct investment
transactions with the City of Diamond Bar must supply the City Treasurer
or the Finance Director with the following: audited financial statements,

8. Authorized and Suitable Investments
8.1. The City’s investments are governed by the California Government
Code (CGC). Specific types of investments are defined in CGC 53635.
Also, CGC 53635.2 permits the use of CGC 53601 investment instruments,
therefore, both CGC 53601 et seq. and CGC 53635 et seq. are the
governing sections pertaining to legal investments. Investments will only
be made in authorized securities with a maturity date of five (5) years or
less from the transaction settlement date.
For the purpose of these investments, the compliance with the
investment percentage(s), in regards to the total investment portfolio,
shall be calculated on the date the investment is acquired. If the
percentage is legally compliant on the date of purchase, then
compliance with the law shall have been met.

10. Review of Investment Portfolio
10.1 The securities held by the City of Diamond Bar must be in compliance
with Section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments at the time of
purchase. Because some securities may not comply with Section 8.0
subsequent to the date of purchase the City Treasurer shall at least
quarterly review the portfolio to identify those securities that do not
comply. The City Treasurer shall establish procedures to report to the
City Council major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified
through the review of the portfolio.
Should any investment listed in Section 8 exceed a percentage-of-
portfolio limitation due to an incident such as fluctuation in portfolio size,
the affected securities may be held to maturity to avoid losses. When
no loss is indicated, the Treasurer shall consider rebalancing the portfolio
after evaluating the expected length of time that it will be imbalanced.
Portfolio percentage limits are in place in order to ensure diversification
of the City investment portfolio; a small temporary imbalance will not
significantly impair that strategy.
11. Collateralization
11.1 Collateralization will be required on two types of investments:
certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. In order to
anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds,
the collateralization level will be 110% of market value of principal and
accrued interest. The City Treasurer, at his/her discretion may waive the
collateral requirement for deposits up to the maximum dollar amount
which are covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
currently $250,000.
12. Safekeeping and Custody
7.1.g

party custodian designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by
safekeeping receipts.
13. Maximum Maturities
13.1 To the extent possible the City of Diamond Bar will attempt to match its
investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. The prescribed
method of the City of Diamond Bar shall be referred to as “layering” the
investments. Monies not needed to cover immediate operating costs
may be invested up to a five year maturity.
14. Internal Controls
14.1 The City Treasurer and the Finance Director shall establish procedures
that separate the internal responsibility for management and
accounting of the investment portfolio. An analysis by an independent,
external auditor shall be conducted periodically to review internal
controls, account activity and compliance with policies and
procedures.
15. Reporting
15.1 As required by California Government Code Section 53607, a monthly
report of investments will be provided to the City Council. The required
elements of this report are as follows:

b. Issuer
c. Date of Maturity
d. Amount of deposit or cost of security

Accrued Interest. Interest earned but which has not yet been paid or received.
Agency. See "Federal Agency Securities."
Ask Price. Price at which a broker/dealer offers to sell a security to an investor.
Also known as “offered price.”
Asset Backed Securities (ABS). A fixed-income security backed by notes or
receivables against assets other than real estate. Generally issued by special
purpose companies that “own” the assets and issue the ABS. Examples include
securities backed by auto loans, credit card receivables, home equity loans,
manufactured housing loans, farm equipment loans and aircraft leases.
Average Life. The average length of time that an issue of serial bonds and/or
term bonds with a mandatory sinking fund feature is expected to be
outstanding.
Bankers' Acceptance (BA's). A draft or bill of exchange drawn upon and
accepted by a bank. Frequently used to finance shipping of international
goods. Used as a short-term credit instrument, bankers' acceptances are traded
at a discount from face value as a money market instrument in the secondary
market on the basis of the credit quality of the guaranteeing bank.
Basis Point. One hundredth of one percent, or 0.01%. Thus 1% equals 100 basis
points.
Bearer Security. A security whose ownership is determined by the holder of the

Benchmark Bills: In November 1999, FNMA introduced its Benchmark Bills
program, a short-term debt securities issuance program to supplement its
existing discount note program. The program includes a schedule of larger,
weekly issues in three- and six-month maturities and biweekly issues in one-year
for Benchmark Bills. Each issue is brought to market via a Dutch (single price)
auction. FNMA conducts a weekly auction for each Benchmark Bill maturity and
accepts both competitive and non-competitive bids through a web based
auction system. This program is in addition to the variety of other discount note
maturities, with rates posted on a daily basis, which FNMA offers. FNMA's
Benchmark Bills are unsecured general obligations that are issued in book- entry
form through the Federal Reserve Banks. There are no periodic payments of
interest on Benchmark Bills, which are sold at a discount from the principal
amount and payable at par at maturity. Issues under the Benchmark program
constitute the same credit standing as other FNMA discount notes; they simply
add organization and liquidity to the short-term Agency discount note market.
Benchmark Notes/Bonds: Benchmark Notes and Bonds are a series of FNMA
“bullet” maturities (non-callable) issued according to a pre-announced
calendar. Under its Benchmark Notes/Bonds program, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 30- year
maturities are issued each quarter. Each Benchmark Notes new issue has a
minimum size of $4 billion, 30- year new issues having a minimum size of $1 billion,
with re-openings based on investor demand to further enhance liquidity. The
amount of non-callable issuance has allowed FNMA to build a yield curve in
Benchmark Notes and Bonds in maturities ranging from 2 to 30 years. The
liquidity emanating from these large size issues has facilitated favorable
financing opportunities through the development of a liquid overnight and term
repo market. Issues under the Benchmark program constitute the same credit
standing as other FNMA issues; they simply add organization and liquidity to the
intermediate- and long-term Agency market.
Benchmark. A market index used as a comparative basis for measuring the
performance of an investment portfolio. A performance benchmark should
represent a close correlation to investment guidelines, risk tolerance and
duration of the actual portfolio's investments.
Bid Price. Price at which a broker/dealer offers to purchase a security from an
investor.
Bond Market Association (BMA). The bond market trade association
representing the largest securities markets in the world. In addition to publishing
a Master Repurchase Agreement, widely accepted as the industry standard
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 308
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 18 of 37
document for Repurchase Agreements, the BMA also recommends bond
market closures and early closes due to holidays.
Bond. Financial obligation for which the issuer promises to pay the bondholder
(the purchaser or owner of the bond) a specified stream of future cash flows,
including periodic interest payments and a principal repayment.
Book Entry Securities. Securities that are recorded in a customer’s account
electronically through one of the financial markets electronic delivery and
custody systems, such as the Fed Securities wire, DTC and PTC (as opposed to
bearer or physical securities). The trend is toward a certificate-free society in
order to cut down on paperwork and to diminish investors’ concerns about the
certificates themselves. The vast majority of securities are now book entry
securities.
Book Value. The value at which a debt security is reflected on the holder's
records at any point in time. Book value is also called “amortized cost” as it
represents the original cost of an investment adjusted for amortization of
premium or accretion of discount. Also called “carrying value.” Book value can
vary over time as an investment approaches maturity and differs from “market
value” in that it is not affected by changes in market interest rates.
Broker/Dealer. A person or firm transacting securities business with customers. A
“broker” acts as an agent between buyers and sellers, and receives a
commission for these services. A “dealer” buys and sells financial assets from its
own portfolio. A dealer takes risk by owning inventory of securities, whereas a
broker merely matches up buyers and sellers. See also "Primary Dealer."
Bullet Notes/Bonds. Notes or bonds that have a single maturity date and are
non-callable.
California Local Agency Bonds: Bonds that are issued by a California county,
city, city and county, including a chartered city or county, school district,
community college district, public district, county board of education, county
superintendent of schools, or any public or municipal corporation.
Call Date. Date at which a call option may be or is exercised.
Call Option. The right, but not the obligation, of an issuer of a security to redeem
a security at a specified value and at a specified date or dates prior to its stated
maturity date. Most fixed-income calls are a par, but can be at any previously
established price. Securities issued with a call provision typically carry a higher
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 309
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 19 of 37
yield than similar securities issued without a call feature. There are three primary
types of call options (1) European - one-time calls, (2) Bermudan - periodically
on a predetermined schedule (quarterly, semi-annual, annual), and (3)
American - continuously callable at any time on or after the call date. There is
usually a notice period of at least 5 business days prior to a call date.
Callable Bonds/Notes. Securities, which contain an imbedded call option giving
the issuer, the right to redeem the securities prior to maturity at a predetermined
price and time.
Certificate of Deposit (CD). Bank obligation issued by a financial institution
generally offering a fixed rate of return (coupon) for a specified period of time
(maturity). Can be as long as 10 years to maturity, but most CDs purchased by
public agencies are one year and under.
Collateral. Investment securities or other property that a borrower pledges to
secure repayment of a loan, secure deposits of public monies, or provide
security for a repurchase agreement.
Collateralization. Process by which a borrower pledges securities, property, or
other deposits for securing the repayment of a loan and/or security.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligation (CMO). A security that pools together
mortgages and separates them into short, medium, and long-term positions
(called tranches). Tranches are set up to pay different rates of interest
depending upon their maturity. Interest payments are usually paid monthly. In
“plain vanilla” CMOs, principal is not paid on a tranche until all shorter tranches
have been paid off. This system provides interest and principal in a more
predictable manner. A single pool of mortgages can be carved up into
numerous tranches each with its own payment and risk characteristics.
Commercial Paper. Short term unsecured promissory note issued by a company
or financial institution. Issued at a discount and matures for par or face value.
Usually a maximum maturity of 270 days, and given a short-term debt rating by
one or more NRSROs.
Convexity. A measure of a bond's price sensitivity to changing interest rates. A
high convexity indicates greater sensitivity of a bond's price to interest rate
changes.
Corporate Note. A debt instrument issued by a corporation with a maturity of
greater than one year and less than ten years.
7.1.g

Counterparty. The other party in a two party financial transaction. "Counterparty
risk" refers to the risk that the other party, to a transaction, will fail in its related
obligations. For example, the bank or broker/dealer in a repurchase
agreement.
Coupon Rate. Annual rate of interest on a debt security, expressed as a
percentage of the bond’s face value.
Current Yield. Annual rate of return on a bond based on its price. Calculated
as (coupon rate / price), but does not accurately reflect a bond’s true yield
level.
Custody. Safekeeping services offered by a bank, financial institution or trust
company, referred to as the “custodian.” Service normally includes the holding
and reporting of the customer's securities, the collection and disbursement of
income, securities settlement and market values.
Dealer. A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions,
buying and selling for his own account.
Delivery Versus Payment (DVP). Settlement procedure in which securities are
delivered versus payment of cash, but only after cash has been received. Most
security transactions, including those through the Fed Securities Wire system and
DTC, are done DVP as a protection for both the buyer and seller of securities.
Depository Trust Company (DTC). A firm through which members can use a
computer to arrange for securities to be delivered to other members without
physical delivery of certificates. A member of the Federal Reserve System and
owned mostly by the New York Stock Exchange, the Depository Trust Company
uses computerized debit and credit entries. Most corporate securities,
commercial paper, CDs and BAs clear through DTC.
Derivatives. For hedging purposes, common derivatives are options, futures,
swaps and swaptions. All Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”) are
derivatives. (1) Financial instruments whose return profile is linked to, or derived
from, the movement of one or more underlying index or security, and may
include a leveraging factor, or (2) financial contracts based upon notional
amounts whose value is derived from an underlying index or security (interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, equities or commodities).
7.1.g

Derivative Security. Financial instrument created from, or whose value depends
upon, one or more underlying assets or indexes of asset values.
Designated Bond. FFCB’s regularly issued, liquid, non-callable securities that
generally have a 2 or 3 year original maturity. New issues of Designated Bonds
are $1 billion or larger. Re-openings of existing Designated Bond issues are
generally a minimum of $100 million. Designated Bonds are offered through a
syndicate of two to six dealers. Twice each month the Funding Corporation
announces its intention to issue a new Designated Bond, reopen an existing
issue, or to not issue or reopen a Designated Bond. Issues under the Designated
Bond program constitute the same credit standing as other FFCB issues; they
simply add organization and liquidity to the intermediate- and long-term
Agency market.
Discount Notes. Unsecured general obligations issued by Federal Agencies at a
discount. Discount notes mature at par and can range in maturity from
overnight to one year. Very large primary (new issue) and secondary markets.
Discount Rate. Rate charged by the system of Federal Reserve Banks on
overnight loans to member banks. Changes to this rate are administered by the

issued at discount and redeemed at maturity for full face value. Examples
include: U.S. Treasury Bills, Federal Agency Discount Notes, Bankers'
Acceptances and Commercial Paper.
Discount. The amount by which a bond or other financial instrument sells below
its face value. See also "Premium."
Diversification. Dividing investment funds among a variety of security types,
maturities, industries and issuers offering potentially independent returns.

Duff & Phelps. One of several NRSROs that provide credit ratings on corporate
and bank debt issues.
Duration. The weighted average maturity of a security’s or portfolio’s cash flows,
where the present values of the cash flows serve as the weights. The greater the

Packet Pg. 312
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 22 of 37
duration of a security/portfolio, the greater its percentage price volatility with
respect to changes in interest rates. Used as a measure of risk and a key tool for
managing a portfolio versus a benchmark and for hedging risk. There are also
different kinds of duration used for different purposes (e.g. MacAuley Duration,
Modified Duration).
Fannie Mae. See "Federal National Mortgage Association."
Fed Money Wire. A computerized communications system that connects the
Federal Reserve System with its member banks, certain U. S. Treasury offices, and

book entry transfer of securities between banks, brokers and customer
accounts, used primarily for settlement of U.S. Treasury and Federal Agency

Frequent issuer of discount notes, agency notes and callable agency securities.
FFCB debt is not an obligation of, nor is it guaranteed by the U.S. government,
although it is considered to have minimal credit risk due to its importance to the
U.S. financial system and agricultural industry. Also issues notes under its
“designated note” program.
Federal Funds (Fed Funds). Funds placed in Federal Reserve Banks by
depository institutions in excess of current reserve requirements, and frequently
loaned or borrowed on an overnight basis between depository institutions.
Federal Funds Rate (Fed Funds Rate). The interest rate charged by a depository

accomplished in three major ways: (1) raising or lowering bank reserve
requirements, (2) raising or lowering the target Fed Funds Rate and Discount
Rate, and (3) in open market operations by buying and selling government
securities. The Federal Reserve System is made up of twelve Federal Reserve

Freddie Mac. See "Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation".
Ginnie Mae. See "Government National Mortgage Association".
Global Notes: Notes designed to qualify for immediate trading in both the
domestic U.S. capital market and in foreign markets around the globe. Usually
large issues that are sold to investors worldwide and therefore have excellent
liquidity. Despite their global sales, global notes sold in the U.S. are typically
denominated in U.S. dollars.
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or "Ginnie Mae"). One of
the large Federal Agencies. Government-owned Federal Agency that acquires,
packages, and resells mortgages and mortgage purchase commitments in the
form of mortgage-backed securities. Largest issuer of mortgage pass-through
securities. GNMA debt is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government (one of the few agencies that is actually full faith and credit of the
U.S.).
Government Securities. An obligation of the U.S. government, backed by the
full faith and credit of the government. These securities are regarded as the
highest quality of investment securities available in the U.S. securities market. See
"Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, and SLGS."
Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE). Privately owned entity subject to
federal regulation and supervision, created by the U.S. Congress to reduce the
cost of capital for certain borrowing sectors of the economy such as students,
farmers, and homeowners. GSEs carry the implicit backing of the U.S.
Government, but they are not direct obligations of the U.S. Government. For this
reason, these securities will offer a yield premium over U.S. Treasuries. Some
consider GSEs to be stealth recipients of corporate welfare. Examples of GSEs
include: FHLB, FHLMC, FNMA and SLMA.
Government Sponsored Enterprise Security. A security issued by a Government
Sponsored Enterprise. Considered Federal Agency Securities.
Index. A compilation of statistical data that tracks changes in the economy or in
financial markets.
Interest-Only (IO) STRIP. A security based solely on the interest payments from

7.1.g

value of the security falls to nothing. Therefore, IOs are considered risky
investments. Usually associated with mortgage-backed securities.
Internal Controls. An internal control structure ensures that the assets of the entity
are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure is designed
to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of
reasonable assurance recognizes that 1) the cost of a control should not
exceed the benefits likely to be derived and 2) the valuation of costs and
benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Internal controls
should address the following points:
1. Control of collusion - Collusion is a situation where two or more
employees are working in conjunction to defraud their employer.
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record
keeping - By separating the person who authorizes or performs the
transaction from the people who record or otherwise account for the
transaction, a separation of duties is achieved.
3. Custodial safekeeping - Securities purchased from any bank or dealer
including appropriate collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed
with an independent third party for custodial safekeeping.
4. Avoidance of physical delivery securities - Book-entry securities are
much easier to transfer and account for since actual delivery of a
document never takes place. Delivered securities must be properly
safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and
loss increases with physically delivered securities.
5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members -
Subordinate staff members must have a clear understanding of their
authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions. Clear delegation
of authority also preserves the internal control structure that is contingent
on the various staff positions and their respective responsibilities.
6. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers -
Due to the potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone and
electronic transactions, all transactions should be supported by written
communications and approved by the appropriate person. Written
communications may be via fax if on letterhead and if the safekeeping
institution has a list of authorized signatures.

agreement will be entered into and will address the following points:
controls, security provisions, and responsibilities of each party making
and receiving wire transfers.
Inverse Floater. A floating rate security structured in such a way that it reacts
inversely to the direction of interest rates. Considered risky as their value moves
in the opposite direction of normal fixed-income investments and whose interest
rate can fall to zero.

Liquidity. Relative ease of converting an asset into cash without significant loss
of value. Also, a relative measure of cash and near-cash items in a portfolio of
assets. Also, a term describing the marketability of a money market security
correlating to the narrowness of the spread between the bid and ask prices.

quality of holdings. MMF’s are managed to maintain a stable net asset value
(NAV) of $1.00. Many MMFs carry ratings by a NRSRO.
Moody's Investors Service. One of several NRSROs that provide credit ratings on
corporate and municipal debt issues.
Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS). Mortgage-backed securities represent an
ownership interest in a pool of mortgage loans made by financial institutions,
such as savings and loans, commercial banks, or mortgage companies, to
finance the borrower's purchase of a home or other real estate. The majority of
MBS are issued and/or guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. There are a
variety of MBS structures, some of which can be very risky and complicated. All
MBS have reinvestment risk as actual principal and interest payments are
dependent on the payment of the underlying mortgages which can be prepaid

($100,000 and larger) that are issued in bearer form and can be traded in the
secondary market.
Net Asset Value. The market value of one share of an investment company,
such as a mutual fund. This figure is calculated by totaling a fund's assets which
includes securities, cash, and any accrued earnings, subtracting this from the
fund's liabilities and dividing this total by the number of shares outstanding. This is
calculated once a day based on the closing price for each security in the fund's
portfolio. (See below.)
[(Total assets) - (Liabilities)]/(Number of shares outstanding)

submit daily reports of market activity and security positions held to the Fed and
are subject to its informal oversight. Primary dealers are considered the largest
players in the U.S. Treasury securities market.
Prime Paper. Commercial paper of high quality. Highest rated paper is A-1+/A-1
by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s.
Principal. Face value of a financial instrument on which interest accrues. May
be less than par value if some principal has been repaid or retired. For a
transaction, principal is par value times price and includes any premium or
discount.
Prudent Investor Standard. Standard that requires that when investing,
reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public
funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general

person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in
the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the
principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. More stringent than
the “prudent person” standard as it implies a level of knowledge commensurate
with the responsibility at hand.
Range Note. A type of structured note that accrues interest daily at a set
coupon rate that is tied to an index. Most range notes have two coupon levels;
a higher accrual rate for the period the index is within a designated range, the

current market value. See “Unrealized Gains (Losses).”
Reference Bills: FHLMC’s short-term debt program created to supplement its
existing discount note program by offering issues from one month through one
year, auctioned on a weekly or on an alternating four-week basis (depending
upon maturity) offered in sizeable volumes ($1 billion and up) on a cycle of
regular, standardized issuance. Globally sponsored and distributed, Reference
Bill issues are intended to encourage active trading and market-making and
facilitate the development of a term repo market. The program was designed
to offer predictable supply, pricing transparency and liquidity, thereby providing
alternatives to U.S. Treasury bills. FHLMC’s Reference Bills are unsecured general
corporate obligations. This program supplements the corporation’s existing
discount note program. Issues under the Reference program constitute the
same credit standing as other FHLMC discount notes; they simply add
organization and liquidity to the short-term Agency discount note market.
Reference Notes: FHLMC’s intermediate-term debt program with issuances of 2,
3, 5, 10 and 30-year maturities. Initial issuances range from $2 - $6 billion with re-
openings ranging $1 - $4 billion.

standing as other FHLMC notes; they simply add organization and liquidity to the
intermediate- and long-term Agency market.
Repurchase Agreement (Repo). A short-term investment vehicle where an
investor agrees to buy securities from a counterparty and simultaneously agrees
to resell the securities back to the counterparty at an agreed upon time and for
an agreed upon price. The difference between the purchase price and the
sale price represents interest earned on the agreement. In effect, it represents a
collateralized loan to the investor, where the securities are the collateral. Can
be DVP, where securities are delivered to the investor’s custodial bank, or “tri-
party” where the securities are delivered to a third party intermediary. Any type
of security can be used as “collateral,” but only some types provide the investor
with special bankruptcy protection under the law. Repos should be undertaken
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 322

only when an appropriate BMA approved master repurchase agreement is in
place.
Reverse Repurchase Agreement (Reverse Repo). A repo from the point of view
of the original seller of securities. Used by dealers to finance their inventory of
securities by essentially borrowing at short-term rates. Can also be used to
leverage a portfolio and in this sense, can be considered risky if used improperly.

holding of securities and other valuables. Safekeeping is a component of
custody services.
Secondary Market. Markets for the purchase and sale of any previously issued
financial instrument.
Securities Lending. An arrangement between and investor and a custody bank
that allows the custody bank to “loan” the investors investment holdings, reinvest

a portfolio in that the investor takes on the default risk on the reinvestment at the
discretion of the custodian.
Sinking Fund. A separate accumulation of cash or investments (including
earnings on investments) in a fund in accordance with the terms of a trust
agreement or indenture, funded by periodic deposits by the issuer (or other

of moneys for payment of debt service. Usually used in connection with term
bonds.
Spread. The difference between the price of a security and similar maturity U.S.

can also be the absolute difference in yield between two securities. The
securities can be in different markets or within the same securities market
between different credits, sectors, or other relevant factors.
Standard & Poor's. One of several NRSROs that provide credit ratings on
corporate and municipal debt issues.

step-up coupons or derivative- based returns.
Supranational Debt. The debt of an international or multi-lateral financial
agency used to finance economic and infrastructure development,
environmental protection, poverty reduction and renewable energy around the
world. Supranational debt is typically rated AAA by most NRSRO’s as these
entities are well-capitalized, have significant capital commitments from a
diverse capital base, conservative lending and risk management practices and
strong supervision.
Swap. Trading one asset for another.
TAP Notes: Federal Agency notes issued under the FHLB TAP program.
Launched in 6/99 as a refinement to the FHLB bullet bond auction process. In a
break from the FHLB’s traditional practice of bringing numerous small issues to
market with similar maturities, the TAP Issue Program uses the four most common
maturities and reopens them up regularly through a competitive auction. These
maturities (2, 3, 5 and 10 year) will remain open for the calendar quarter, after
which they will be closed and a new series of TAP issues will be opened to
replace them. This reduces the number of separate bullet bonds issued, but
generates enhanced awareness and liquidity in the marketplace through
increased issue size and secondary market volume.
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). One of the large Federal Agencies. A wholly
owned corporation of the United States government that was established in
1933 to develop the resources of the Tennessee Valley region in order to
strengthen the regional and national economy and the national defense. Power

gains or losses. Total return includes, therefore, any market value
appreciation/depreciation on investments held at period end.
Treasuries. Collective term used to describe debt instruments backed by the
U.S. Government and issued through the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Includes Treasury bills, Treasury notes, and Treasury bonds. Also a benchmark

(e.g., "trading at 50 basis points over Treasuries").
Treasury Bills (T-Bills). Short-term direct obligations of the United States
Government issued with an original term of one year or less. Treasury bills are
sold at a discount from face value and do not pay interest before maturity. The
difference between the purchase price of the bill and the maturity value is the
interest earned on the bill. Currently, the U.S. Treasury issues 4-week, 13-week
and 26-week T-Bills
Treasury Bonds. Long-term interest-bearing debt securities backed by the U.S.
Government and issued with maturities of ten years and longer by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury. The Treasury stopped issuing Treasury Bonds in
August 2001.

Government and issued with maturities ranging from one to ten years by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury. The Treasury currently issues
2-year, 5-year and 10-year Treasury Notes.
Trustee. A bank designated by an issuer of securities as the custodian of funds
and official representative of bondholders. Trustees are appointed to insure
compliance with the bond documents and to represent bondholders in

Weighted Average Maturity (or just “Average Maturity”). The average maturity
of all securities and investments of a portfolio, determined by multiplying the par
or principal value of each security or investment by its maturity (days or years),
summing the products, and dividing the sum by the total principal value of the
portfolio. A simple measure of risk of a fixed-income portfolio.
Weighted Average Maturity to Call. The average maturity of all securities and
investments of a portfolio, adjusted to substitute the first call date per security for
maturity date for those securities with call provisions.
Yield Curve. A graphic depiction of yields on like securities in relation to
remaining maturities spread over a time line. The traditional yield curve depicts
yields on U.S. Treasuries, although yield curves exist for Federal Agencies and
various credit quality corporates as well. Yield curves can be positively sloped
(normal) where longer-term investments have higher yields, or “inverted”
(uncommon) where longer-term investments have lower yields than shorter
ones.
Yield to Call (YTC). Same as “Yield to Maturity,” except the return is measured to
the first call date rather than the maturity date. Yield to call can be significantly
higher or lower than a security’s yield to maturity.
Yield to Maturity (YTM). Calculated return on an investment, assuming all cash
flows from the security are reinvested at the same original yield. Can be higher
or lower than the coupon rate depending on market rates and whether the
security was purchased at a premium or discount. There are different
conventions for calculating YTM for various types of securities.
Yield. There are numerous methods of yield determination. In this glossary, see
also "Current Yield,” "Yield Curve," "Yield to Call" and "Yield to Maturity."

Appendix C
Local Agency Investment Fund
Program Description
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a voluntary program created by
statute in 1977 as an investment alternative for California’s local governments
and special districts and it continues today under Treasurer John Chiang’s
administration. The enabling legislation for the LAIF is Section 16429.1 et seq. of
the California Government Code.
This program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major
portfolio which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment
expertise of the Treasurer’s Office investment staff at no additional cost to the
taxpayer.
The LAIF is part of the Pooled Money Investment Account (PIMA). The PMIA
began in 1955 and oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board
(PMIB) and an in-house Investment Committee. The PMIB members are the State
Treasurer, Director of Finance and State Controller.
The Local Investment Advisory Board (LIAB) provides oversight for LAIF. The Board
consists of five members as designated by statute. The Chairman is the State
Treasurer or his designated representative. Two members qualified by training
and experience in the field of investment or finance, and the State Treasurer
appoints two members who are treasurers, finance or fiscal officers or business
managers employed by any county, city or local district or municipal
corporation of this state. The term of each appointment is two years or at the
pleasure of the Treasurer.
All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section
16430 and 16480.4. The State Treasurer’s Office takes delivery of all securities
purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third party custodian. All
investments are purchased at market and a market valuation is conducted
monthly.
Additionally, the PMIA has Policies, Goals, and Objectives for the portfolio to
make certain that our goals of Safety, Liquidity and Yield are not jeopardized,
and that prudent management prevails. These policies are formulated by
investment staff and reviewed by both the PMIB and the LIAB on an annual
basis.
7.1.g
Packet Pg. 327
Effective Date: 07/01/2025 Page 37 of 37
The State Treasurer’s Office is audited by the Bureau of State Audits on an
annual basis and the resulting opinion is posted to the STO website following its
publication. The Bureau of State Audits also has a continuing audit process
throughout the year. All investments and LAIF claims are audited on a daily basis
by the State Controller’s Office as well as an in-house audit process involving
three separate divisions.
Under Federal Law, the State of California cannot declare bankruptcy, thereby
allowing the Government Code Section 16429.3 to stand. This Section states that
“moneys placed with the Treasurer for deposit in the LAIF by cities, counties,

Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
1. Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this policy is to establish prudent reserve policies to ensure
the long-term fiscal health and stability of the City. The practice and
discipline to maintain adequate reserve funds is necessary to ensure that
adequate funding is available for planned and unplanned replacements
of capital assets and equipment, infrastructure repairs and replacements,
long-term obligations, as well as, economic uncertainties, local
emergencies and natural disasters.
2. Definitions
2.1 A fund’s equity – commonly referred to as “fund balance” – is generally the
difference between its assets and its liabilities. In accordance with
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54,
Fund Balance Reporting and Government Fund Type Definitions, fund
balance will be displayed in the following classifications depicting the
relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for
which resources can be used:
2.1.1 Non-spendable Fund Balance – The portion of a fund balance that
includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a)
not in a spendable form, such as prepaid items, inventories of
supplies, or loans receivable; or (b) legally or contractually required
to be maintained intact, such as the principal portion of an
endowment.
2.1.2 Restricted Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that can be
used only for those purposes that are specified by their providers,
such as granters, bondholders, or higher levels of government. It is
important to note that these resources are constrained by external
parties.
2.1.3 Committed Fund Balance – The portion of a fund balance that
includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the
government’s highest level of decision-making authority, and
remains binding unless removed in the same manner.

City Council Policy 2019-01 EffectiveRevised Date: 08/20/2019[MM/DD/YYYY] Page
2 of 5
2.1.4 Assigned Fund Balance – The portion of a fund balance that
includes amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to
be used for specific purposes, but that are neither restricted nor
committed. Such intent needs to be established at either the highest
level of decision-making, or by an official designated for that
purpose.
2.1.5 Unassigned Fund Balance – The portion of a fund balance that
includes amounts that do not fall into one of the above
aforementioned categories. The General Fund is the only fund that
should report this category of fund balance.
3. Policy
3.1 The fund balance policies are relevant to the unrestricted fund balances,
which include committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances. Since
there are practical and/or legal limitations on the use of non-spendable or
restricted fund balances, they are not subject to the fund balance policies.
3.2 This policy shall be reviewed and approved annually, with any revisions, by
the City Council during the review and adoption of the annual City Budget
and Capital Improvement Program.
3.3 The City Council may assign fund balance to a specific purpose in relation
to this fund balance policy. By resolution, the Council has also authorized
the City Manager and/or the Finance Director to assign fund balance.
Assignments of fund balance by the City Manager and/or the Finance
Director do not require formal action by the City Council; however, each
assignment must be approved by either of the authorized officials before
the item can be presented in the financial statements.
3.4 When multiple categories of fund balance are available for expenditure
(for example, a construction project is being funded partly by a grant,
funds set aside by the City Council, and unassigned fund balance), the City
will start with the most restricted category – spending those funds first –
before moving down to the next category with available funds.
3.5 All uses of reserve funds shall be approved by the City Council.
3.6 The City Council may designate portions of the Unassigned General Fund
balance for future capital projects, continuing or carry-over appropriations
from prior fiscal years, or any other municipal purpose that the City Council
deems prudent or necessary. Best practices dictate that fund balance
reserves should not be used for ongoing operating expenditures; however,
the City Council’s retains discretion as to when to utilize the reserves in this
manner.
