and considered state tax deferrals in their analysis.

Menifee voters approved Measure DD,
the one percent sales tax increase, by a
convincing 68 percent in November 2016.
Revenues from Measure DD are required to
remain local and can only be used for critical
City services like public safety and 911
emergency response services; keeping our
roads, parks and infrastructure in good
condition; and other general service needs
that make Menifee a desirable place to work,
play and do business. The Measure DD Citizen
Oversight Committee meets regularly and
provides oversight on how Measure DD funds
are spent to ensure the integrity of the
measure. With these funds, the City of
Menifee is able bridge the funding gap
required to maintain a safe, clean and vibrant
community our residents have come to expect.

BALANCE POLICY –
Where we are now…
FUND BALANCE POLICY
Fund Balance Policy adopted by City Council by Resolution 13-
340 on August 21, 2013
To establish a minimum of 25% Fund Balance Reserve equal to
approximately 3 months of operating expenses with the
following Reserve Balances:
•Operating Stabilization Reserve of 10% for Catastrophic
Emergencies.
•Economic Uncertainty Reserve of 10% for Economic Distress.
•Unassigned Fund Balance Reserve of 5% designed to protect
against cash flow shortfalls.
Also established $750,000 City Hall & PARSAC $75,000
FUND BALANCE POLICY
The current policy and fund balance allow for the Economic
Uncertainty Reserve in the amount of $5.9M
Staff identified expenditure budget reductions to avoid the
need to use such funds, and maintain the same service level
This allows the City to evaluate the actual economic impacts
of COVID-19 at mid-year and allocate Economic Uncertainty
Reserve funds if absolutely necessary
Not listed on previous slide is a reserve account of $3M,
received from the renewal of Waste Management’s contract
$450k of this Reserve is recommended in the Proposed Budget
to allocate to CIP for the Amphitheater

BUDGET SUMMARY
Fiscally prudent planning and cautious spending models have
been developed by staff to ensure the City’s sustainability.
Staff identified expenditure budget reductions to avoid the
need to use any reserve funds:
Economic Uncertainty; Operating Stabilization; Unassigned
Reserve; Waste Management Reserve; Measure DD Fund Balance
This allows staff to evaluate the actual economic impacts of
COVID-19 at mid-year and allocate Reserve funds if necessary.
City service levels are not impacted by budget reductions:
Virtual City Hall services provide same level of service.
Past planning enabled staff to quickly respond to COVID-19 with
existing online tools (Planet Bids, Accela, Blue Beam, City App)
