Recap of Last Fiscal Year
NOW
Looking Back Going Forward
The City prepares for a
“Year of Transitions” and
new opportunities for
navigating change and
pursuing consistency.
Challenges included
uncertainties in the
economic and political
landscapes, internal
turnover, and new
systems.

Update on City Council Goals for 2025
FY 2025/26 Budget Message
State, Regional, and Local
Economic Outlook
State of California Economic Outlook
•Despite the initial outlook for the
proposed budget showing a small
surplus, the LAO debates that
revenue projections could be overly-
optimistic.
•The impact of tariffs at the federal
level remain to be seen, but are
anticipated to have an adverse effect
on revenues.
Regional Econom ic Indicators
•Uncertainty at the Federal level
impacts the regional outlook as well.
•Despite the uncertainty, the
economic data suggests a cooling,
but strong economy.
•This uncertainty could bring about
policy choices that may trigger a
downturn, but this is difficult to
anticipate.
Economic Indicators
That said, some indicators indicate a stronger economy in 2025, with inflation declining and interest rates,
though still higher than previous years, also declining slightly.
Unemployment
Furthermore, unemployment has
also seen some lower rates
throughout the United States and
the State of California.
With this, the nation, state, and
region have all seen solid gains in
earnings across several years,
including for those with lower
education levels.
Household Income
After adjusting for taxes, the poverty rate is lower than ever.
However, an area of concern is the labor force, especially in California. Despite higher incomes, the
housing rate raises concerns for the labor force remaining in California.
Employment and Labor Force
Despite this, the Inland Empire is
one of few areas experiencing
growth.
Compared to the rest of California,
housing prices are more affordable
and new construction continues to
grow.
As a result, the Inland Empire drives
a reasonable share of the California
economy.
Employment and Labor Force
The labor force gains have been across many age groups, except for younger age groups.
Other Economic Threats
Outside of labor markets, national
financial threats also impact
projections.
The U.S. trade deficit continues to
grow due to increased reliance on
foreign goods.
These effects trickle down to a
State level, and thus can impact
revenue and spending activities at
regional and local levels.
Local Economy
Despite these influences, the outlook at the local level is more positive, especially as
population in the region continues to increase.
Local Economy
Rancho Cucamonga continues to grow, though at slower rates compared to other local jurisdictions.
Local Economy
Rancho Cucamonga also continues
to experience lower than average
unemployment rates, and the
lowest of the larger cities in the
region.
Local Economy
Logistics jobs remain stronger than others throughout the region, which could be impacted by further tariff
activities in the nation. Furthermore, the employment diversity is positive.
Local Economy
As a result, the Inland Empire is now a significant metropolitan statistical area.
Local Economy
Rancho Cucamonga continues to show decent employment growth compared to the region,
and much higher growth than the State.
Rancho Cucamonga Economic Sectors
Rancho Cucamonga has a
diversified economy
58% of the City’s employment is
•Administrative support,
•Restaurant/hotel,
•Government,
•Retail trade, and
•Manufacturing
Employment Sectors
These sectors are
showing growth over the
last few years.
Employment Sectors
With the future high-speed rail
efforts in the City, this is expected
to grow even more in the future.
Employment vs. Housing
Despite the growth, there
remains a persistent gap
between households in the City
and employment in the City.
This is largely due to the strong
commuter workforce
throughout the City.
Employment vs. Housing
Significant housing costs also drive this force. Despite appreciating prices, the increases in
mortgage interest rates drive higher costs throughout the City.
FY 2025/26 Budget Message
Housing Outlook
Housing
Despite increasing prices, Rancho Cucamonga remains an attractive place to live with
the strong schools, high levels of public safety, and wide ranging amenities.
Housing
The City maintained a high number of
completed residential units
throughout 2024.
Finalized (Completed) Residential Units by Year
Local Economy - Housing
For-sale single-family homes
in Rancho Cucamonga
remain a rare commodity.
Multi-family housing
complexes therefore remain
a popular option in the City.
As a result, average rents
remain higher than the
Countywide average.
Local Economy - Housing
While activity slows, multiple multi-
family complex are coming online as
older approved plans are now being
built.
As of this presentation, there are:
•248 units under construction
•2,506 approved units expected to
start construction within a few years
•3,042 units going through approval

FY 2025/26 Budget Message
Staffing & Personnel
Personnel Costs and Staffing Levels
Full-Time Personnel
•City employees are crucial for
the delivery of programs and
services.
•Personnel costs constitute
24% of the budget and 72%
with police and fire included.
•The City is dedicated to hiring
and retaining employees with
specific qualities and fostering
a modern work culture.
Personnel Costs and Staffing Levels
Part-time Personnel
•Hiring part-time employees is
challenging due to competition,
abundant job openings, and
higher wages offered by other
employers.
•The FY 2025/26 Budget proposes
a part-time workforce that, in
dollars, is back to pre-pandemic
levels.
CalPERS
•Employee compensation includes retirement benefits provided by CalPERS, a
defined benefit plan.
•The City has limited control over employer contributions to CalPERS, leading to
potential cost increases. Because the City is in CalPERS, which is dependent on
year-to-year returns in the stock market, potential cost increases are always a
possibility.
•The California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) established
retirement compensation limits to address pension liabilities.
•As more employees fall under PEPRA rates, the City's contribution to CalPERS is
expected to stabilize or decrease over time.
CalPERS
Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL)
•The Fire District’s classic safety employees have a UAL contribution rate
of 40%, exceeding the normal required employer contribution of 28%.
•An increasing UAL results in higher total pension payments and can
strain organizational budgets, potentially impacting service delivery.
•The City and Fire District proactively address UAL by making
supplemental payments and utilizing surplus funding to reduce long-
term pension costs and stabilize budgets.

FY 2025/26 Budget Message
Special Districts Overview
Special Districts
Special Districts Overview
•The City has 34 special assessment districts, many of which were established
before Proposition 13 and lack regular adjustments for rising costs.
•The General Fund provides minimal funding to ensure fiscal equity among the
districts.
•Service and maintenance levels are adjusted to address funding shortfalls,
particularly on the west side of town.
•Limited support for new voter-approved funding measures results in a growing
backlog of deferred and unfunded maintenance needs. Moving forward,
alternative strategies will be essential to maintain long-term financial stability in
affected districts.
Special Districts
Recommended Rate Increases:
•As a fiscal steward, adjustments are recommended where residents have given
the City Council the authority, doing so only when necessary to balance budgets
and accommodate rising costs.
•Rate increases are recommended based on various factors, and over the last year
is largely attributed to rate and contract labor cost increases, increasing in line
with minimum wage hikes.
•Rate increases are recommended for LMD 2 (3%), LMD 4-R (3%), LMD 6-R (2.94%),
LMD 9 (3%), LMD 10 (3%), CFD No. 2018-01 (5%), CFD No. 2022-01 (5%).
Special Districts
The City administers debt service payments for existing CFD Bonds to cover
current and future debt until the bonds mature.
•CFD No. 2000-01 (South Etiwanda): Maturity in September 2025.
•CFD No. 2000-02 (Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park): Maturity in September
2025.
•CFD No. 2000-03 (Rancho Summit): Maturity in September 2035.
•CFD No. 2001-01 (Day Creek and Victoria Gardens): Maturity in September 2031.
•CFD No. 2003-01 (Day Creek and Victoria Gardens): Maturity in September 2033.
•CFD No. 2004-01 (Rancho Etiwanda Estates): Maturity in September 2036.
•CFD No. 2006-01 (Vintner's Grove): Maturity in September 2037.
•CFD No. 2006-02 (Amador on Route 66): Maturity in September 2037.
The City actively monitors for refinancing opportunities prior to maturity. As these
bonds mature, the City will be in a better position for a credit upgrade.
Landscape Maintenance District 1 &
Park District 85
LMD 1 and PD 85 are two of the oldest special districts in the City, formed just after
incorporation.
Due to legal restrictions, assessments in many districts cannot be altered without
voter approval. Measure A was previously placed on the ballot in 2015 with the
intent of modernizing the districts and ensure adequate resources, but the
measure failed. Thus, resources have remained the same for over two decades.
Unfortunately, FY 2024/25 saw service levels on non-park landscapes shifting in
LMD-1 to Service Level F, indicating less attention to landscape areas throughout
areas in LMD-1.
However, the City will maintain Service Level C for park landscapes.
Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District
(EIFD)
In July 2022, the City established an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District, or
EIFD, to support the construction of public facilities and infrastructure.
The EIFD is funded through a portion of future growth in property tax revenue, and
is set aside specifically for infrastructure improvements.
The current projected fund balance of the EIFD is $1,092,941.
In the upcoming year, the EIFD is expecting to generate approximately $980,000
in revenue during the year as the City continues to evaluate infrastructure needs
and potential funding strategies.
