RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council accept the attached reports and demands.

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The financial report included herein is designed to communicate fiscal activity based upon adopted and approved budget appropriations. No further action of a fiscal nature is requested as part of this report.

 

The total value of the warrant registers for December 2025 is $11,855,076.48.

 

BACKGROUND:

Finance staff prepares a variety of financial reports for City Council and the Finance Subcommittee.  A brief discussion of the attached report follows.

 

DISCUSSION:

Schedule of Demands:

Every month staff prepares a comprehensive listing of all disbursements with staff certification that the expenditure transactions listed have been reviewed and are within budgeted appropriations.

 

Investment Portfolio:

Detailed Investment reports are provided to the Finance Subcommittee with summary reporting to City Council.  The month end portfolio includes a certification by the Finance Director that all investments comply with established Investment Policies and there is sufficient liquidity to support projected expenditures. 

Month-End Financial Reports:

This package includes summary level financial information for the month ending December 31, 2025.  This report marks the sixth month of fiscal year 2025-2026, and reflects the annual budget adopted by City Council. The report provides monthly and year-to-date activity for all funds and departments presenting a snapshot of budget performance. A report highlighting the performance of key revenue sources is also included.

 

Lastly, a summary of balance sheet accounts managed by the City is included to provide the balances as of December 31, 2025. Balance sheet accounts record funds collected from private parties for a specific use together with the various expenditures that result from associated projects and activities. This report shows a brief description of each account along with its purpose, month-end balance, and the managing department.

 

PUBLIC OUTREACH:
After analysis, staff determined that public outreach was not required for this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA.  Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
