ABOUT PALM DESERT
The City of Palm Desert is the geographic center of the Coachella Valley, a fast-growing
region of Southern California that is comprised of nine cities. Palm Desert prides itself on
being a community supported city that serves as the educational, retail, and cultural hub of
the Coachella Valley.
Palm Desert was incorporated on November 26, 1973 as a General Law City. In 1997, the
voters approved changing Palm Desert's designation to a Charter City in order to preserve
the historic principles of self-governance and derive the resulting social, economic, and fiscal
benefits from local control.

PALM DESERT DEMOGRAPHICS
Palm Desert employs the Council-Manager form of government. The City Council consists of
five citizens elected to serve for staggered four-year terms. The Mayor serves a one-year
term, appointed from within the City Council on a rotation basis. In addition, the Palm Desert
City Council serves as each the Board of the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency, the Financing Authority, and the Housing Authority. Citizen-
commissions and committees also support the City Council by providing input on many
community affairs including public safety, planning, parks and recreation, art in public places,
housing, and finance. The City Manager appoints staff and supervises the daily
administration of municipal affairs.
Palm Desert contracts out many of its services such as police and fire services, recreational
services, animal control services, trash collection, street sweeping, etc. The goal of
contracting out services is to minimize costs as much as possible to the extent possible by
using other governmental agencies or districts that already provide these services to other
cities and counties.

CITY MANAGER’S TRANSMITTAL LETTER
Todd Hileman
City Manager
Honorable Mayor, City Council members, and residents of Palm Desert,
In accordance with the City’s ordinance, it is my pleasure to present the Fiscal Year 2024-25
operating budget for the City of Palm Desert. This balanced budget represents the City’s
annual financial plan and five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for delivering City
programs, projects, and services in a fiscally responsible manner consistent with the
priorities, goals, and objectives adopted by the City Council.
The budget has been prepared while considering many ongoing economic impacts such as
inflation, supply chain, and labor issues associated with contracts. Keeping the well-being
and safety of residents, visitors, and businesses as the highest priority, the City Council has
maintained funding to sustain current service levels and supported efforts to ensure that
much of the deferred maintenance owing to the pandemic is now being addressed. In
addition, the City Council established strategic goals and priorities prior to the creation of the
annual budget process which was given highest priority during the budget development
process. The City Council’s strategic goals and priorities include both capital and monetary
investments to support the City’s economic stability.
The City has established strong reserves over many years to ensure the delivery of services
during an emergency. The importance of this proactive approach was realized during the
City’s response to Tropical Storm Hilary in the Fall, 2023. The storm wreaked havoc
throughout the Coachella Valley, but Palm Desert had the ability to act swiftly to ensure
Health and Safety issues were immediately addressed and the community restored to full
operations due to prior planning efforts.
At of the close of FY 2022-23, the City had a little over $120 million in General Fund reserves,
$80 million of which has been assigned/committed to the City’s identified needs such as
emergencies, operating cash, fund stability, capital improvements, facility maintenance and
other prioritized reserves pursuant to the established policy. Much of the balance of the
unassigned reserve ($40M) is used to sustain General Fund operations and service delivery
throughout the budget year during our seasonal peaks and valleys.
6 Return to TOC
CITY MANAGER’S TRANSMITTAL LETTER
While the City has made it an on-going priority to maintain sufficient reserves, it has become
increasingly challenging as expenditures continuously outpace revenues in their growth year
over year. In January 2023, the City Council approved the design for an additional fire station
to mitigate declining response times related to emergency calls for service. At that time, staff
began sharing analyses and projected impacts of the additional station and the related
increasing operational costs. The City’s fiscal health will require prudent decision-making to
maintain the current service levels and maintain necessary community facilities and
programs.
In terms of revenues, the growth experienced in recent years has begun to normalize.
Following the pandemic, the City’s TOT and Sales Tax experienced dramatic increases that
were largely fueled by the unprecedented level of one-time federal stimulus funding and
business-friendly fiscal policies during and post-pandemic. FY 2023-24 revenue growth
flattened compared to the prior year. Increased interest earnings provided a buffer to offset
the slower growth. The City’s expenditures are projected to increase at a slightly faster rate
than the revenue growth in coming years.
Specifically, increasing public safety costs are pressuring the City’s budget. The lack of
available resources coupled with increasing operating costs will present challenges in the
City’s ability to balance future budgets. To ensure long-term fiscal sustainability, staff began
developing strategies to identify on-going efficiencies, cost savings, and potential new
revenue options. Ultimately, staff recommended a 1 cent sales tax measure to manage
expenditures and expected service levels. If approved on November 5, 2024, the ballot
measure, if approved, could generate approximately $25 million annually to be used for
supporting and maintaining public safety costs and other community priorities.

Overall City Budget Summary (Budget-in-Brief)
The City’s overall budget includes many governmental funds, including the General Fund.
Most of these funds are restricted for specific purposes. For example, monies collected and
placed in the Fire Fund must be used for fire protection services or equipment. Special
Assessment Funds depend on monies collected from property owners within a specified area
to maintain that area and must be used for that purpose. The detailed budgets for these funds
are included in the corresponding sections of this budget.
The expenditure budget for all funds for FY 2024-25 is $212,906,913 not including transfers
between funds. This amount represents an increase of 47% from the FY 2023-24 all-funds
budget. The increase is due primarily to construction of the new North Palm Desert Fire
Station and other planned capital projects.
The General Fund is the City’s primary fund for operations and staff projects total revenues
of $83,222,877 and estimated expenditures of $83,063,012 resulting in an estimated surplus
of $159,865 in FY 2024-25.
General Fund – Revenues
The General Fund’s estimated revenues of $83,222,877 represent an increase of
approximately $7.66M (10%) over the current fiscal year’s original revenue estimate of
$75,554,467. The increase is based on current year projections reflecting an increase in
interest earnings and inflation, recent local travel activity, and increased property tax related
to the City dissolving the long-standing service agreement with the County of Riverside for
Library services.

CITY MANAGER’S TRANSMITTAL LETTER
The revenue normalizing is strongly tied to recovery indices and year-over-year comparisons
to pre-pandemic sales. Sales tax recovery has slowed following a rapid incline post pandemic
and forecasts remain rather conservative taking inflation, recession, and historical trends into
consideration. The increase in transient occupancy tax (TOT) is based on travel.
Industry forecasts, which have been supported by recent local travel activity. In fact, local
hotels have reported a significant increase in bookings, occupancy, and average daily rate
(ADR). Current fiscal year TOT generated has far exceeded expectation and appears to be
aligning with the sales tax forecasts evenly.

CITY MANAGER’S TRANSMITTAL LETTER
The projected expenditures include an increase in the cost of operations related to the new
Library Services Division (a result of the City dissolving its agreement with the County for
services), an increase in public safety costs, an increase in the transfer needed to cover the
operating shortfall of the Palm Desert Aquatic Center, and an increase in the cost of contracts
as a result of the increase in the statewide minimum wage.
FY 2024-25 estimated expenditures related to salaries increased by 12% and benefits
increased by 11% compared to FY 2023-24. These changes reflect our ongoing commitment
to meeting community needs and ensuring efficient service delivery. Departmental/Division
staffing may be adjusted annually to support those needs. Growth in salary costs this year
includes the addition of 18 FTEs related to the assumption of operations of Library Services
from the County of Riverside. Additionally, Palm Desert employees are eligible for a 3.25%
cost of living (COLA) increase as we enter Year 2 of a 3-year MOU with the employee’s
organization. That COLA impacts the other benefits driven from salary costs like retirement
payments to PERS. Finally, costs for healthcare increased 5.5% over FY 2023-24.

Strategic City Goals
The City’s inaugural Annual Report was
published
in January 2022 documenting each department’s
top accomplishments and improvements made to
serve the community better in the 2021 calendar
year. The report also included department
initiatives that they would be working on in the
upcoming year.
A copy of the report can be found at the City’s
website:
https://www.palmdesert.gov/our-
city/departments/city-goals.
On Thursday, February 16, 2024, the Palm Desert City Council approved the City's goals for
the 2024 calendar year. The adoption of these goals followed months of discussions that
included City staff and Council members talking about ways to enhance the services provided

Economic Development
This year the Invest Palm Desert campaigns will incorporate a variety of components
designed to retain and expand current Palm Desert businesses, and to attract new high wage
businesses to Palm Desert. The Invest Palm Desert program is designed to assist local
businesses with capital expansion needs, as well to provide a competitive edge to Palm
Desert by offering incentives to businesses considering relocating in the Coachella Valley.
Special focus of the funding will be on key geographic regions including El Paseo, San Pablo
and the University District.
Public Safety and Emergency Services
As depicted in the next table, the City’s public safety budget is approximately $46.92 million.
The portion charged to the General Fund represents approximately 33% of overall General
Fund expenditures. This is an increase of 3% from the FY 2023-24 public safety budget of
$43.11 million.

CITY MANAGER’S TRANSMITTAL LETTER
Police Services – The City contracts for police services with Riverside County and operates
with a total of 80 sworn law enforcement staff and non-sworn Community Service Officers.
The proposed budget for the Police Services is approximately $22.3 million, which includes
a $1M increase over the fiscal year 2023-24 budget of $21.3 million. The increase is due
primarily to the changes in rates between Riverside County Sheriff’s office and their various
represented bargaining units.
Fire Services – The City’s contract for fire protection and emergency medical services (EMS)
includes the operation of three fire stations with 61 paid professional firefighters. The fiscal
year 2024-25 budget for fire protection services and EMS is approximately $24 million, a
14% increase over the fiscal year 2023-24 budget of $21.1 million. The increase is
attributable to the changes in rates and benefits agreed to between Cal Fire and their
bargaining units. Capital expenditures for the fire station is included in the Capital
Improvement Program budget. The new station will further increase operational costs
supported by the General Fund upon completion.
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. The General Fund is expected to cover the balance of the fire services cost of
approximately $5M. In addition to the operational budget, the Department will put into service
a new ladder truck at Station 102. Costs for the purchase of the truck will be shared by the
City and the County of Riverside.
The completion of the new North Palm Desert Fire Station along with increases in tiered
public safety rates and benefits are projected to significantly impact future year public safety
costs. In order to maintain current levels of service to the community, operational shortfalls
in the General Fund are anticipated to begin in the 2025-26 fiscal year as the transfers to
support fire service costs increase and outpace the revenue generated to support them.
Transfers from the General Fund to support public safety quickly escalate and are estimated
as follows:
Est. Fire Ops Budget 2024-25 2025-26* 2026-27 2027-28 2028-29
Fire Fund Revenues
Fire Fund Expenditures
Necessary transfer from GF (5,612,483) (18,307,440) (17,121,472) (11,382,818) (11,650,838)
*2025-26 introduces the additional operations of the new fire station in N. Palm Desert for half of the year
The increased transfers to fund the growing public safety costs result in a $5.6M to $11.6M
deficit in General Fund operations over the same time period. Approval of Measure G in
November will address these concerns and allow the City to maintain fiscal stability while
delivering the same level of service.

CITY MANAGER’S TRANSMITTAL LETTER
Current Economic Climate
Palm Desert, like any other local government, must consider a variety of factors related to
the local, state, and national economy when budgeting. These considerations are essential
for making informed decisions that promote economic growth, fiscal stability, and the overall
well-being of the community.
National Economy:
National monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, can affect borrowing costs for
local governments, influencing their ability to fund projects and manage debt. The overall
health of the national economy can impact consumer spending. This, in turn, affects local
businesses' revenue and tax collection.
The US economy is expected to continue to lose momentum near-term as high prices and
elevated interest rates sap domestic demand. Real GDP growth slowed dramatically to 1.4
percent quarterly annualized in Q1 2024 (from 3.4 percent in Q4 2023), and probably
expanded at a clip not much faster than this in Q2. While a recession is not being forecasted
in 2024, expectations include a cool-down of consumer spending and real GDP growth to
decelerate to around 1 percent quarterly annualized in Q3 2024.
GDP growth should pick up later in 2024 as inflation subsides and the Fed first signals and
then actually cuts interest rates. In 2025, 2-percent inflation and somewhat lower interest
rates should levitate real GDP growth to its potential near 2 percent. Nonetheless, the timing
and pace of interest rate cuts remains highly uncertain and policy rates may ultimately land
at levels exceeding the pre-pandemic average.

CITY MANAGER’S TRANSMITTAL LETTER
State Economy
State-level economic policies, such as minimum wage laws and business regulations, can
impact local businesses' costs, operations, and hiring practices. State funding for
infrastructure projects can influence local development and transportation networks,
impacting the local economy and quality of life.
Last year the state anticipated a substantial $4 billion deficit in the 2023-24 State Budget.
The deficit anticipated in 2024-25 has grown to $27.6 billion (with $30 billion already
anticipated in 2025-26). The rapid shift from a budget surplus, as was the case in recent prior
fiscal years, to the budget shortfall the State faces today, is a lingering effect of the
unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy. The projected budget
shortfall to revenue reflects the steep stock market decline in 2022 that negatively impacted
income tax collections from high-income Californians and corporations, as well as the effects
of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes. The governor’s proposed solutions to cover the
shortfall would partially draw down on various state reserves and provide for major changes
to Public Safety, Community Services, Affordable Housing (including restoring $260 million
to REAP), Environmental Programs, Active Transportation, Broadband, and Energy Funding
in FY 2024-25 and 2025-26.
Local Economy
Local government depends highly on tax revenue to fund public services. Economic
downturns can lead to reduced tax collections, impacting the ability to maintain infrastructure,
provide services, and invest in community development. Palm Desert’s top two revenue
sources are sales tax and transient occupancy tax (TOT) with both highly dependent on local
tourism. Fluctuations in tourism due to factors like travel trends, weather, and events can
impact local businesses and tax revenue. Nearly 70% of Palm Desert’s sales tax is provided
by consumers living outside of the city. Post pandemic both revenue sources grew at a
dramatic pace as businesses reopened and people grew tired with staying home. Both
revenue streams have since returned to more normal patterns. Staff continues to monitor
and analyze the data closely as things change.
Conversely, small businesses are the backbone of the community. Local government policies
that support small businesses, such as streamlined permitting processes and economic
development support, can foster entrepreneurship and economic growth. The City continues
to invest in its local businesses through various programs and projects with this in mind.
Looking ahead, the City has been actively engaging its residents to determine the best course
of action to sustain the established and expected service levels within the City. To that end
on June 13, 2024 the City Council approved Measure G to be included on the November 5th
ballot. Measure G asks the community to consider increasing the local sales tax rate by 1%
or 1 cent.
18 Return to TOC
CITY MANAGER’S TRANSMITTAL LETTER
The 1 cent tax will provide an additional revenue stream to facilitate the needs of our growing
community. With maintaining service levels for all public safety services throughout Palm
Desert at the forefront of this decision, it is essential to preserve financial stability and allows
us to deliberately manage priorities, while safeguarding the expected quality of life for our
residents and visitors alike. To ensure funds are allocated to the priorities identified by the
community during outreach efforts, a five-year spending plan has been developed and will
be guiding future budget requests for use of the funds, if approved by voters.

Conclusion
In closing this budget message, I would like to express my appreciation to the City Council
for providing positive leadership and direction on behalf of the community. The City’s
commissions and committees have also provided invaluable assistance in developing the
City’s priorities that led to the proposed budget. I also want to thank City staff for their
dedication and effort toward providing excellent services to the community and for making a
commitment to accomplishing the goals set out in the budget.
I would like to thank the Finance Department’s work on developing the budget. They have
assembled a budget document that is comprehensive, accurate, and easy to read. Finally, I
would also like to thank the Executive Team for their thoughtful contributions to the budget
and for their consistent hard work and commitment to the City and the community.
I want to confirm my continued commitment to carry on the great work of the Palm Desert
City Council with the City staff, to embark on this opportunity hand in hand with the
community, and to maintain the high standards and fiscally pragmatic decisions of past and
present City officials.
Respectfully,

ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
FUND ACCOUNTING
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate
set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and
expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for
in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which
spending activities are controlled. The various funds utilized by the City are grouped into generic fund
types and broad fund categories:
Governmental Funds
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for
all financial resources except those required to be accounted in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific
revenue resources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The landscaping
and lighting funds are adopted by the City Council by resolution as a consolidated district budget.
However, the City reflects the individual zones in separate departments and funds. This allows the
residents of the zones to see the exact detail of their district’s improvements and maintenance.
Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for
and the payment of general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs other than capitalized
leases and compensated absences that are paid from other governmental funds. The City currently
has nine assessment districts (94-2 Sunterrace; 94-3 Merano; 01-1 Silver Spur; 98-1 Bighorn; 05-1
University Park; 04-2 Section 29; 91-1 Indian Ridge; EIP; and Highlands Undergrounding).
Capital Project Funds - Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used
for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed through
proprietary funds). Capital Project Funds for the City include Art in Public Places, Capital Project
Reserve fund, Streets fund, Ordinance 416, Drainage Facilities, Park and Recreation Facilities,
Signalization, Buildings, Museum, Library, Corporation Yard, YMCA Building Fund, Interstate 10,
Sports Complex Fund, and various assessment district funds.
Proprietary Funds
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise Funds account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises. The intent of the City Council is for costs of these
funds (including depreciation, if applicable) to be recovered primarily through user charges. Palm
Desert’s Enterprise Funds include the Parkview Office Complex and the Desert Willow Golf Course.
Internal Service Funds - Internal Service Funds account for financial transactions related to internal
operations including replacement of City-owned vehicles and equipment as well as to
fund compensated absences. Currently, there are no cost allocations of internal service funds to
any other departments or divisions. ISF's are funded with transfers directly from the General Fund.
Fiduciary Funds
Trust and Agency Funds - Trust and Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City
in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individual’s private organizations, and other governments.
Since activities recorded within these funds are outside the control of the City Council, these funds
are not included within this budget document.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Basis of Accounting refers to the point at which revenues and expenditures are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements. All governmental funds, agency funds, and
expendable trust funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Their
revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. All
proprietary funds and nonexpendable trust funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of
23 Return to TOC
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they are earned, and their expenses are recognized
when they are incurred.
BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Budgets for the governmental fund types are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles, utilizing the modified accrual basis of accounting. The proprietary funds are
budgeted as is accepted for the type of operation: The Golf Course Fund is budgeted utilizing available
cash balance (cash basis). As a result, this fund does not maintain a depreciation reserve fund, and no
depreciation expenses (non-cash entry) are budgeted. The other proprietary fund is the Office Complex
which is budgeted on an accrual basis of accounting and maintains a depreciation reserve. Budgeted
amounts are as originally adopted and as further amended by City Council action.
BUDGETARY CONTROL
Budgetary controls are maintained to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual
appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Activities of the governmental and proprietary funds
are included in the annual appropriated budget. The budgetary level of control, the level at which
expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount, is exercised at the fund level.
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, more commonly referred to as the Gann Initiative or
Gann Limit, was adopted by California voters in 1980 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of
taxes that state and local governmental agencies can receive and appropriate (authorize to spend)
each 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, population and voter approved modifications in each subsequent year.
Proposition 111 was passed by the State’s voters in June 1990. This legislation made changes to the
method by in which the Appropriations Limit is calculated:
The annual adjustment factors for inflation and population have been changed. Instead of using the lesser of
California per capita income, or U.S. CPI, each city may choose either the growth in the California per capita
income, or the growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City. For
population, instead of using only the population growth of a city, each city may choose to use the population
growth within its county. These are both annual elections.
The revised annual adjustment factors will be applied to the 1986-87 limit for most cities and each year in
between in order to calculate the 1990-91 limit. The actual limits for the intervening years, however, are not
affected.
Expenditures for “qualified capital outlay”, which are fixed assets with a value of more than $100,000 and an
expected life of 10 years or more, will be excluded from the limit. A city which exceeds the limit in any one
year may choose to not give a tax refund if they fall below the limit in the next fiscal year. They then have two
more years to refund any remaining excess or to obtain a successful override vote. In certain situations,
proceeds of taxes may be spent on emergencies without having to reduce the limit in future years. Each city
must now conduct a review of its Appropriations Limit during its annual financial audit.
The law now requires a governing body to annually adopt, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the
following year, along with a recorded vote regarding which of the annual adjustment factors have been
selected. The City’s budget appropriations limit and annual adjustment factors are adopted annually by
Resolution by the City Council.

GANN APPROPRIATIONS
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.
The Article XII(B) limitation is not a restricting
factor for the City of Palm Desert, but will be
monitored annually, and budget
adjustments will be recommended if they
are required in future years.

GENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARY
Revenue Assumptions for the General Fund (Fiscal Year 2024-25)
The revenue assumptions used for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget are based on current state and
local economic conditions, recovery indices and forecasts, and historical trends on the City’s revenue
including Sales Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, and Property Taxes.
Sales Tax
The estimated revenue from sales tax this year is $25,000,000. This is a slight decline from prior year
and attributable to a normalizing trend of purchases following the pandemic. Sales tax is imposed on
all California retailers. Sales tax applies to all retail sales of merchandise (tangible personal property)
in the state. Riverside County’s sales tax rate is 7.75%. Palm Desert does not currently have any
special district taxes, so the sales tax rate for Palm Desert is also 7.75%. The City receives 1% of this
rate, Riverside County receives 0.75% and the State receives 6.00%. The City Council however will
consider adding a 1% district tax on the November 2024 ballot to offset increasing costs and maintain
expected community service levels.

GENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARY
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
The estimated revenue from TOT this year is $22,905,000. TOT is charged to travelers staying in
Palm Desert when they rent accommodations (a room, rooms, entire home, or other living space) in a
hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, or other lodging for any period of less than 28 days. TOT is
remitted to the city each month following the month of rental.
Property Tax
The estimated revenue from property tax collections this year is $12,624,088. Assessment and
collections of real property taxes are administered by Riverside County. Palm Desert is a No-Low
Property Tax City and receives property taxes based on an allocation from the County in 1978
and adjusted for areas annexed to the City after 19781. The fluctuation from year to year is due
to the change in property transfer taxes based on home sales within the City. Additionally, the City
Council elected to take over operations of the Palm Desert Library. As a result, the City’s share of
property tax dollars that were previously shifted to the Riverside County Library for operations are
now being deposited into the General Fund and earmarked for municipal operations of the library.
1 In November 1978, voters approved Proposition 13, which allocated property tax revenues based on each agency’s historical share
(property tax rates were rolled back to 1973 rates).

GENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARY
Other Revenue
The balance of the City’s overall revenue includes franchise fees estimated at $3,400,000; motor
vehicle license fees estimated at $5,593,780; permits and license fees estimated at $4,323,600;
interest and rents at $4,862,327, and transfers in, timeshare mitigation and reimbursements/other
revenues estimated at $4,514,082. Below is a simple description of the other revenues that may or
may not be familiar to the general community:
A franchise fee is a payment made by an entity to
a local government for the use of public rights-of-
way. These rights-of-way can include underground
pipes, above-ground cables, wireless antennas,
and more. Franchise fees are often negotiated with
the local agency and are authorized by state law.
A business license tax is an annual non-
regulatory licensing fee levied by cities for
the privilege of conducting business within
a particular jurisdiction. Business license
fees are due and payable prior to
commencing business within a particular
city or county.
Building permits are a one-time fee
assessed to review building permits and
ensure that a project complies with all the
regulations and safety standards set by the
local authority. The amount charged by the
City excludes impact fees and other
development costs, which typically fall
under special funds.
Transfers-In generally represent areas
where Other Funds reimburse the General
Fund for their share of costs (ie, staff time,
The Vehicle License Fee (VLF), also known as the
Motor Vehicle In-Lieu Tax, is an annual fee paid to
the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
when registering a vehicle. The California
Constitution requires that 25% of the proceeds from
the VLF go to cities and counties and is levied for
the privilege of operating a vehicle on the public
highway and streets. The tax is imposed in lieu of
a local personal property tax on autos.
Timeshare mitigation fees are collected
in accordance with Ordinance 888, and the
related Development Agreement(s) for
weekly facilities fees associated with the
timeshare interests.

GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL FORECAST
During the City’s Budget Study Sessions, the General Fund Financial Forecast is presented,
which projects the revenues, expenditures, and fund balance over a specified period. This helps
support the long-term planning of non-recurring capital projects with the idea that goals and
objectives are subject to change in the future. Projections reflect current expenditures
outpacing the growth in revenue in the next five years. The impact to Fund Balance over time
may be dramatic, if new revenue resources are not identified to meet the community’s growing
needs.
During the FY 2024-25 Budget Study Sessions, staff presented five potential Five-Year Cash Flow
scenarios to City Council to provide decision points and possible options given all the intended
projects and anticipated operational financial concerns as a result of negotiated labor agreements
with our contracted public safety partners while maintaining expected community service levels.

GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL FORECAST
SCENARIO NO. 5 – Provided with all changes in No. 4 plus addition of 1 cent tax.
On June 13, 2024 the City Council approved Measure G to be included on the November 5th
ballot. Measure G asks the community to consider increasing the local sales tax rate by 1% or 1
cent. The 1 cent tax will provide an additional revenue stream to facilitate the needs of our growing
community. With maintaining service levels for all public safety services throughout Palm Desert
at the forefront of this decision, it is essential to preserve financial stability and allows us to
deliberately manage priorities, while safeguarding the expected quality of life for our residents
and visitors alike. To ensure funds are allocated to the priorities identified by the community
during outreach efforts, a five-year spending plan has been developed and will be guiding future
budget requests for use of the funds, if approved by voters.

CAPITAL PROJECTS DEPARTMENT 1104134
Narrative
The Capital Projects Department is responsible for the delivery of some of the City’s most
complex, diverse and large-scale Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). Many aspects included
in the delivery of these CIPs include feasibility studies, site design, document preparation,
construction management and inspection of various capital projects. Projects can include
improvements to infrastructure such as roadways (rehabilitation, overlay, or slurry seal), traffic
control devices, bridges, flood control facilities, street lighting, development projects, Active
Transportation Plan (ATP) related improvements, recreation facilities and other such major city
public infrastructure improvements. Some CIPs may be less complex and may only take just a
few months or even just weeks to complete. However, some major capital improvements can
require multiple years to strategically plan, design, fund and eventually construct.

CODE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION 1104422
Narrative
The Code Compliance Division ensures that all the City's neighborhoods are consistent with
these ordinances and regulations by conducting both proactive and reactive inspections of
residential and commercial areas. Our goal is to work cooperatively with property owners,
businesses, and residents to meet these community standards and create a quality living
environment for our residents. Blight and nuisances can devalue, detract, and degrade the
quality of any neighborhood. Recognizing the importance of protecting Palm Desert's wonderful
quality of life, the City Council has adopted ordinances that regulate the use and maintenance
of private property. The Division is also responsible for enforcement of business licensing, short-
term rental enforcement, and oversees the City’s contracted Animal Control Services.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS PROGRAM
Capital expenditures are defined both in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) five-year plan
as well as within the City’s Policy FIN-008, which states “In general, all capital assets, including
land, building, machinery, and equipment with an acquisition cost of $10,000 or more and a useful
life of at least three years, will be subject to capitalization.”
Palm Desert’s City Council approves a five-year consolidated plan which includes funding award
recommendations and a five-year CIP summary. The CIP list is created to identify any recurring
projects for the coming year, as well as the five-year build-out for nonrecurring projects.
The funded projects are derived from various sources including the City’s Strategic Plan, Council
Goals and Priorities, City Reserve Study, and community engagement. Unfunded projects are
listed as projects that are in study and/or are projected for future years.
Significant nonrecurring capital expenditures are included in the CIP by type, funding source, and
dollar amounts. The Capital Projects Improvement list contains nonrecurring projects that coincide
with City Council objectives and support long-term planning.
Carryover appropriations are amounts which have been appropriated in FY 2023-24 & are not
expected to be expended by June 30, 2024. These funds are primarily for capital budgets and
specific programs that overlap fiscal years. When authorized, continuing appropriation amounts
are added to the new fiscal year budget amounts in order to track all approved spending.
The exact amount of appropriations and encumbrances for carryover will be determined at the
end of the fiscal year during the preparation of financial statements. Carryover amounts will
include; purchase orders and unencumbered balances as of June 30, 2024, for appropriations
approved by the City Council through the last meeting in June, 2024.
*NOTE: Appropriations & encumbrances for carryover from FY 2023-24 to 2024-25 are estimated. Amounts
are subject to change due to projects approved by Council prior to June 30, 2024.

(1) Estimated Actual Taxable Value = Net Taxable Value
* Per HDL there was an artifact change in the Riverside County Assessors data that occurred primarily between 2018 and 2019, new vs old system differences,
the few properties which are listed as having asssessed value and being non-taxable are either new to the roll or are newly non-taxable for 2019.
Notes: Property Taxes in Riverside County are subject to the State of California's Proposition 13, Jarvis-Gann Initiative which allows reappraisals of real property only
when there is a change in ownership or new construction takes place. Further, the proposition limits property assessment increase to no more than two(2%) percent
annually. Property is assessed at one hundred percent (100%) of its fair market value at the time of new construction or change in ownership.
The tax rate is one (1%) percent of the assessed value.
