8.1 ADOPTION OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-27 BIENNIAL CITYWIDE BUDGET\nComments:\nThe City’s budget is an important policy document. It serves as an annual financial plan,\nidentifying the spending priorities for the organization. The budget is used to balance\navailable resources with community needs, as determined by the City Council. It also\nserves as a tool for communicating the City’s financial strategies and for ensuring\naccountability.\nGenerally, the City’s biennial operating budget process is a plan for two specified fiscal\nyears. The fiscal years for this budget begin on July 1, 2025 and ends on June 30, 2027.\nFor the upcoming fiscal years, staff is presenting the proposed two-year operating and\ncapital budgets for FY 2025-26 and 2026-27 for Council’s consideration. At the\nconclusion of the first fiscal year of this biennial budget cycle, i.e., end of FY 2025-26,\nstaff will update the revenue estimates and appropriation, and bring back the revised FY\n2026-27 budget for Council’s consideration.\nThe FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 Proposed Budgets were developed in the context of\ngrowing economic uncertainties and concerns of a possible recession. Cautionary factors\n2\nsuch as international tariff disputes, global supply chain disorder, continued inflationary\npressures and higher recessionary fears have clouded the City’s economic outlook.\nOn June 9, 2025, the City Council conducted a Budget Workshop to review and discuss\nthe FY 2025-27 Proposed Biennial Citywide Budget. The focus at the Budget Workshop\nwas on the General Fund. Staff has taken Council’s comments on the draft budget, made\nmodifications, and incorporated them into the full FY 2025-27 Proposed Biennial Citywide\nBudget (City, Successor Agency, Lynwood Utility Authority, Appropriations Limit, and\nMaster Fee Schedule), for formal adoption. (FIN)\nRecommendation:\nStaff recommends that the City Council and Successor Agency open a public hearing,\nreceive a presentation on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-27 proposed biennial citywide\nbudget, receive public comments, close the public hearing, and each adopt the respective\nattached resolutions entitled:\nA RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD\nADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-27 BIENNIAL CITYWIDE BUDGET\nA RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AS SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE\nLYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 202527 SUCCESSOR AGENCY BUDGET\nA RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD\nAPPROVING THE PROPOSED FEE REVISIONS AND ADOPTING THE FISCAL\nYEAR 2025-26 MASTER FEE SCHEDULE\nA RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD\nESTABLISHING THE APPROPRIATION LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26\nPURSUANT TO ARTICLE XIIIB OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION

9.3 ANNUAL RETIREMENT FUND TAX LEVY CERTIFICATION\nComments:\nOn April 16, 1946, the City of Lynwood’s residents approved and adopted a property levy\ntax (Retirement Tax). The City’s retirement tax was approved by voters to support City\nemployees’ and former public safety employees’ retirement costs and contributions to the\nCity’s State-administered retirement system (CalPERS). On October 13, 1998, the City\nCouncil adopted Resolution No. 98-177, approving a settlement in the matter of Howard\nJarvis Taxpayers Association v. City of Lynwood. One of the conditions of the settlement\nwas to fix the rate of the tax related to the Retirement Fund at $0.125 per $100 of\nassessed valuation. (FIN)\nRecommendation:\nStaff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled, “A\nRESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD DECLARING ITS\nINTENTION TO ORDER THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF TAXES FOR THE CITY’S\nCONTRIBUTION TO THE RETIREMENT FUND”.

9.4 APPROVAL OF THE LOS ANGELES REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER\nMANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (“GWMA”) AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT\nEXCERCISE OF POWER AUTHORITY AGREEMENT\nComments:\nThe Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers\nAuthority (“Gateway Water Management Authority” or “GWMA”) was established in 2007\n4\nby a Joint Powers Authority Agreement (“JPA”), to address the state’s efforts that\nencouraged and prioritized regional, multi-party, and/or multi-benefit projects for\ncompetitive funding. Because GWMA’s membership and responsibilities have grown and\nevolved since its inception, the JPA Agreement is now being amended to best reflect\ncurrent and anticipated activities, roles, and responsibilities. Each member is now\nrequested to formally adopt the updated JPA Agreement, as presented. (PW)\nRecommendation:\nStaff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A\nRESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING\nTHE AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AUTHORITY\nAGREEMENT, AS PRESENTED AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE\nAGREEMENT”

9.5 ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE ROAD REPAIR AND\nACCOUNTABILITY ACT (SB1) PROJECT LIST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26\nComments:\nOn April 28, 2017, the State of California Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), also\nknown as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 addresses basic road\nmaintenance, rehabilitation, and safety needs on both state highways and local streets.\nTo generate this funding, SB1 mandates adjustments and increases in per-gallon fuel\nexcise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees, and provides for\ninflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years. SB1 includes funding for maintenance\nand rehabilitation of local streets from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account\n(RMRA) through the Local Streets and Roads Program (LSRP). (PW)\nRecommendation:\nStaff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled\n“AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION OF THE LYNWOOD CITY COUNCIL ADOPTING A LIST\nOF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 FUNDED BY SB1: THE ROAD REPAIR\nAND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017”; authorize the appropriation of an estimated\n$1,856,621 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds as part of the\nFiscal Year 2025-26 budget; and authorize the City Manager to submit the required\ndocuments and information to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for the\nCity to receive RMRA funds.
