BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Budget Overview:
On May 8, 2025, the City Council held a study session to discuss the Operating Budget, Capital
Project priorities, Five-Year Projections, and the estimated revenues and expenditures for the
upcoming Fiscal Year 2025-26 Financial Plan. City Council provided feedback and general
comments to staff for inclusion in the final budget submission.
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 proposed Financial Plan reflects resource allocations consistent with
City policies, goals, and priorities. It also communicates to our residents and staff an action plan
for the upcoming fiscal year, which includes program goals and the standards by which the
delivery of services to the public will be measured. The Operating Budget is developed in
alignment with the 2025 City Council Goals and Priorities and identified community needs.
General Fund:
The General Fund supports core City services such as:
Police Services
Administration
Public Works
Parks
Planning & Development Services
Economic Development
Fire (partially)
Revenue Increase:
FY 2025-26 General Fund revenues are projected at $109,743,818 compared to the current
fiscal year’s original revenue estimate of $83,222,877. Revenue estimates have been adjusted
slightly following the May Budget Study Session to account for an update on Measure G
Revenue Projections from our Sales Tax Consultant, resulting in an additional $300,000.
Up 31.9% from prior year, driven by Measure G sales tax and property tax.

Expenditure Increase:
The proposed General Fund operating expenditure budget is $109,424,005 compared to the
current fiscal year’s approved original budget of $83,063,012. Expenditures have been adjusted
slightly to account for the increased allocations to Outside Agency Funding, offset by a small
decrease in estimated staff costs.
Up 31.8% over prior year, primarily due to public safety costs, personnel services, and
Measure G implementation.

Public Safety:
One of the City’s overall largest expenditures is the cost of public safety services. It is also the
largest General Fund expenditure even though the General Fund is not the only funding source.
The City Council’s commitment to the Measure G Five-Year Plan further demonstrates their
commitment to the public safety of our residents and citizens.
The other main funding source for public safety is the Fire (Special) Fund. The portion of Fire
services paid from the Fire Fund is derived from structural fire tax credits from the County fire
taxes assessed by the City, reimbursements from other Cove Community Cities for the City’s
ladder truck, and emergency medical services cost recovery fees. Measure G Funds have also
been allocated to support Fire Services and Projects. The budget anticipates completion of
construction and making Fire Station 102 operational by April/May 2026.
The following table illustrates the total public safety request and the allocated funding sources.
Total Cost: $64.16 million
General Fund Share: 36% of General Fund budget
Fire Station 102 Completion: May 2026
Other Governmental Funds:
The City’s Financial Plan (Exhibits 1 and 2) includes many ‘governmental funds’ other than the
General Fund. The monies collected and expended from these funds are generally set aside for
the purpose identified by the fund or are restricted to specific uses.
Total Budget: $144.2 million across all Other Funds, such as:
Transportation
Parks & Drainage
Housing Mitigation
Public Art & Childcare Facilities
Enterprise Funds (e.g., Desert Willow, Parkview Office)

Appropriations Limit (State Imposed Spending Cap):
Article XIII B of the California Constitution limits local government appropriations annually. For
FY 2025-26, Palm Desert’s calculated limit is $194,068,627. The appropriations requested within
the FY 2025-2026 Financial Plan, subject to the limit, are well below the maximum allowed
expenditures.
FY 2025-26 Limit: $194,068,627
GF Budgeted Appropriations: At $109.4 million we are well within the legal limit
Staff Allocation and Out of State Travel:
In alignment with Section 2.52 of the Municipal Code, the City Council routinely adopts a
resolution authorizing its classification groups, allocated positions, and the salary schedule with
the Financial Plan. These resolutions operationalize that authority by specifying:
What positions can exist
How employees are classified
What their salaries will be
Gives the City Manager authority to modify if necessary for business, within budget
The City’s Travel Policy requires that all Out of State travel be approved by the City Council at
a public meeting. The list of anticipated conference, seminar, and travel for each department in
FY 2025-26 has been included in this packet. Any out of state travel not included on the list will
have to be requested individually (via staff report) prior to any costs being incurred.
Conclusion:
This FY 2025-26 Financial Plan contemplates that the City will continue to contract for services
in its efforts to be fiscally prudent and constrain ongoing costs. Staff will continue to look for
areas where cost savings can be achieved while maintaining expected service levels.
During the year, the City Manager may authorize intra - and inter-departmental adjustments as
well as intra- and inter-fund adjustments, to meet City needs, provided such adjustments do not
exceed the approved total budget. Staff will continue to monitor revenues and expenditures and
will report any new information or needed modifications to the City Council throughout the year.
Staff recommends the approval of the City’s and Housing Authority’s FY 2025-26 Financial Plan
and Capital Improvement Program as presented, in addition to all other required documents.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The FY 2025-26 Financial Plan, as presented, results in a revenue surplus, does not require the
use of Reserves for operations, and aligns with the 2025 City Council Goals.
The anticipated General Fund Balance at FYE June 30, 2025 is estimated to be $99.4 Million.
76 million of that balance must be maintained as committed and assigned reserves for FY
2025-26, per the policy. Staff will return after summer break to provide additional information
during a study session on the 10-year cash flow projections, impact to reserve balance, and
potential policy options for consideration. Key takeaways are as follows:
Projected Surplus as Proposed: $319,813
No reserves used for operations
Measure G is fully allocated per plan and reviewed by the Finance Committee
Aligns with the 2025 City Council Goals and Priorities

CITY OF PALM DESERT
FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT CALCULATION
Article XIII B of the California Constitution requires adoption of an annual appropriation limit. The original base
year limit was adopted in FY 1978-79 and has been adjusted annually for increase by a factor comprised of the
percentage change in population combined with either the percentage change in California per capita personal
income or the percentage change in local assessment roll due to the addition of local nonresidential new
construction. The changes in the local assessment roll due to additional local nonresidential new construction for
current and prior periods have not been available from the County Assessor's office.
On November 1988, voters approved Proposition R which increased the limit to $25,000,000. It expired in
November 1992. The FY 1993-94 limit was calculated with prior years re-calculated to reflect the expiration of the
25,000,000 limit.
