Dale Burke, Public Works Director
Scott Smith, Maintenance Crew Supervisor/Traffic
SUBJECT:
Amend and Increase Contract with Safeway Sign Company for Purchase of
Traffic Signs
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an increase in
the current contract and to execute an amendment to contract number 2010-11-086 with
Safeway Sign Company, thereby extending the contract for an additional year (Fiscal Year
2015-16) and increasing the contract authority by an additional $65,000 with a new not-toexceed amount of $263,000.
BACKGROUND
The City of Hesperia has contracted with Safeway Sign Company for the past three (3) years to
provide traffic signs and related materials. Safeway Sign Company was awarded a three (3)
year contract for service during Fiscal Year 2011-12 which is scheduled to expire on June 30,
2015. Safeway Sign Company has requested a one (1) year extension to the contract, agreeing
to hold their prices at the current Fiscal Year rates. Safeway Sign Company was unable to
provide one (1) item at the current rate (line item No. 35 – sign back straps). This item is
available, if needed, from various vendors; therefore this item will be removed from the contract.
Safeway Sign Company has provided exceptional customer service over the past three (3)
years.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Approval of the contract amendment will increase the not-to-exceed amount of $198,000 by
$65,000 for a new total not-to-exceed amount of $263,000. The increase is necessary to
continue maintaining traffic signs and replacing the street name signs in area three (3) for
upcoming Fiscal Year 2015-16.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this service has been allocated in the proposed Fiscal Year 2015-16 budget in
account number 263-29-310-3150-7400.

SUBJECT:
Granicus, Inc. New Contract
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year
maintenance and licensing contract with Granicus Inc. for an amount not to exceed $124,200.
BACKGROUND
The City has utilized the Granicus Software Suite for online video streaming and archiving
services since 2007 and the Legistar Management Suite for electronic agenda materials and
public online portal since 2013. Granicus is a well-respected leader in digital governing that
maintains technologies that assist staff in efficiently creating and delivering content, providing
information to Hesperia residents in an easily accessible manner. The City is satisfied with both
products and associated services.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Granicus Software Suite provides voting software, live video streaming and video archiving
of the City Council, Planning Commission, and soon, City Council Advisory Committee and
Public Safety Advisory Committee meetings. This web hosted service is provided for a monthly
service fee of $2,470. The Legistar Management Suite provides an electronic agenda solution
and an online portal for the public to access all City Council agenda materials. This web hosted
service is provided for a monthly fee is $980.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the first year of this contract is included in the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Budget, within
the City Manager Department. The remaining years will also be budgeted in the City Manager
Departmental budget, for each respective year.

SUBJECT:
CompuCom Systems Inc. Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager enter into a five-year
agreement with CompuCom Systems Inc. for an amount not to exceed $290,000 for licensing of
all Microsoft operating systems.
BACKGROUND
Microsoft licensing is the base foundation of computer applications for all the City’s servers and
workstations. The licensing enables the City to continue to utilize products and be in
compliance of Microsoft’s Enterprise Agreement.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Prior to entering into the Enterprise agreement with Microsoft, all Microsoft licenses were
purchased individually for each computer. Entering into an Enterprise agreement provides a
cost savings to the City through reduced rates of between 50% to 80% per license. Over a fiveyear period a total estimated savings of $504,885 will be realized. This is possible by
leveraging the existing pricing contract utilized by the County of Riverside and the State of
California.
The $290,000 requested represents a contract amount of $245,000 with a $45,000 contingency
amount. The contingency will allow the City to add additional product licenses to the contact as
business needs require.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the first year of this agreement is included in the City Manager Department FY
2015-16 Budget and funding for future years will continue to be budgeted in the City Manager
Department.

David Burkett, Project Construction Manager
SUBJECT:
Consideration of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Improvements – Year 1
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council reject the bids for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Improvements – Year 1 (C.O. No. 7400), do not award a contract, and allow staff to combine the
Year 1 project with the Year 2 project, and advertise the combined projects for bid.
BACKGROUND
Agencies of both the Federal and State government have passed regulations related to ADA. In
order to comply with these regulations, the City will need to make modifications to existing
infrastructure, including public buildings. Staff has begun an evaluation of City-owned facilities
and improvements within public right of way to identify any improvements that may be needed
to meet the requirements of the ADA regulations and a Transition Plan to guide these
improvements is under development.
Concurrent with this internal evaluation, staff has identified work that can be initiated
immediately in order to reduce the number of modifications that will ultimately need to be done.
The Council has indicated support for this approach by allocating Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funding in the FY 2014-15 budget and staff is requesting additional funding
in the proposed FY 2015-16 budget. Supplemented with additional Measure I funding, staff has
been able to select multiple locations within City right of way to begin the process of modifying
existing facilities. This will be a multi-year program to bring the City into compliance with the
regulations. Additional ADA projects will be brought before the City Council in future fiscal years.
On June 17, 2014 the City Council approved the FY 2014-15 Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) that contained the ADA Improvements – Year 1 Project, C.O. No. 7400 and included
funding for commencement of work. Funding is being requested in the proposed FY 2015-16
budget for additional work.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Staff issued a public “Notice Inviting Sealed Bids” for construction of the project and advertised
for bids beginning on May 12, 2015. In addition, a “Call for Bids” was sent to 22 contractors. On
June 4, 2015 bids were received, opened, and publicly read from the following two bidders:
RG General Engineering
Jitney Company, Inc.
Yucaipa, CA
Corona, CA

Staff Report to the Mayor and Council Members
Award Contract, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Improvements – Year 1
June 16, 2015
However, prior to the bid opening date staff held a mandatory pre-bid meeting to provide details
on the project to potential bidders. Any potential bidder for this project was required to attend
this meeting in order to be considered a responsive bidder. One of the contractors that
submitted a bid for this project (Jitney Company) did not attend that pre-bid meeting.
Considering the fact that the pre-bid meeting was mandatory, the City would not be allowed to
accept the bid from the contractor who did not attend the pre-bid meeting. Subsequently, the
City has only one responsive bid submitted for this project.
According to Federal regulations, when procuring a public works by sealed bids, 24 CFR Part
85.36(d)(2)(i) requires the submittal from two or more responsive and responsible bidders that
are willing and able to compete effectively for the project. In order to utilize CDBG funds
(Federal funds) on this project, the City will have to rebid the project (i.e. new advertisement for
the solicitation of bids, new bid documents with revised dates for pre-bid meeting, bid opening
date, etc.) to ensure that at least two responsible and responsive bids are submitted.
Staff is recommending that the two bids received for the ADA Improvements – Year 1 project be
rejected and that the Year 1 project be combined with the Year 2 project and that both projects
be bid as a combined single project during FY 2015-16.
In order to attract more than one responsive bidder, staff will be combining the Year 1 project
funded in the FY 2014-15 budget with the Year 2 project that is proposed in the FY 2015-16
budget. Staff believes that a project that is approximately $340,000 total in size and scope as
opposed to the stand-alone Year 1 project of $90,000 will attract more bidders. It is anticipated
that the combined project will be advertised for bids no later than August/September 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with rejecting the bids.

Eric Dunn, City Attorney
SUBJECT:
Proposed Single-serve Alcohol Sales Ordinance
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council consider whether to introduce Ordinance No. 2015- 04
entitled:
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Hesperia, California, prohibiting the sale of
single-serve alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption and declaring the same a public
nuisance.
BACKGROUND
Council Member Blewett requested the City Attorney’s office to prepare an ordinance that would
prohibit the sale of single-serve containers of alcohol. Several cities in California have adopted
such bans, including Victorville, San Bernardino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and Redlands.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The proposed ordinance would address public nuisances that may arise from the sale of singleserve alcoholic beverages. Single-serve alcoholic beverages are defined as any alcoholic
beverage packaged and sold individually as a single serving. This definition excludes multiple
cans or bottles packaged together, as well as bottles or containers of wine of at least 750 ml or
bottles or containers of distilled spirits of at least 375 ml. Studies show a correlation between the
consumption of single-serve alcoholic beverages and higher gang crime within the area.
California Government Code Section 38771 permits the legislative body of a city to declare what
constitutes a nuisance. According to California Civil Code Section 3479, a nuisance is
“[a]nything which is injurious to health, including, but not limited to, the illegal sale of controlled
substances, or is indecent or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of
property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property, or unlawfully
obstructs the free passage or use, in the customary manner, of any navigable lake, or river, bay,
stream, canal, or basin, or any public park, square, street, or highway.”
The article attached as Exhibit 2 to this staff report cites studies that demonstrate a link between
single-serve alcohol sales and higher gang crime, which in turn interferes with the enjoyment of
property nearby and is injurious to the health, safety and welfare of the general public.

The ordinance may result in additional enforcement costs for City code enforcement staff or
Sheriff’s Department staff.

BEVERAGES
FOR
OFF-SITE
CONSUMPTION AND DECLARING THE SAME A PUBLIC
NUISANCE
WHEREAS, the City of Hesperia has the authority, under its police power, to enact
regulations for the public peace, morals and welfare of the City pursuant to California Constitution,
Article XI, Section 7; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 38771 permits the legislative body of a
city to declare what constitutes a nuisance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council acknowledges nuisance conditions are offensive or annoying
to the senses, detrimental to property values and community appearance, an obstruction to or
interference with the comfortable enjoyment of adjacent property or premises (both public and
private), and/or are hazardous or injurious to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public; and
WHEREAS, nuisance and criminal activities such as drug dealing, public drunkenness,
loitering and other behaviors that negatively impact neighborhoods occur with disproportionate
frequency at and around the premises of on-site and off-site sale alcohol uses; and
WHEREAS, studies indicate a correlation between consumption of single-serve alcoholic
beverages and higher gang crime.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds sale of single-serve alcoholic beverages by
establishments selling for off-site consumption constitutes a public nuisance and is a threat to the
public peace, safety and welfare of the City; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF HESPERIA DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 8.32.100 is hereby added to the Hesperia Municipal Code to read as
follows:
Section 8.32.100 -- Single-serve alcoholic beverages.
A.
For purposes of this section, “single-serve alcoholic beverages” means any alcoholic
beverage packaged and sold individually as a single serving. Common examples would be a 12 or
24 ounce can of beer or 32 or 40 ounce bottle of beer or malt liquor. Multiple cans or bottles
packaged together do not fall within this definition, nor do bottles or containers of wine of at least
750 ml or bottles or containers of distilled spirits of at least 375 ml.
B.
It is unlawful and hereby declared a public nuisance for an establishment selling
alcohol for off-site consumption to sell single–serve alcoholic beverages, wine of less than 750 ml in
size, or distilled spirits of less than 375 ml in size.
SECTION 2.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of

Single-Serve Alcoholic Beverages
Alcohol that is packaged for immediate consumption
can lead to public drinking, crime and violence
What are Single-Serves?
Alcoholic beverages that are packaged for consumption
by a single individual at a given time are known as
“single-serves.” These products may contain beer, distilled spirits or alcoholic energy drinks, which, in addition to alcohol, usually contain caffeine as well as other
stimulants.1 However, the most common single-serve
items are bottles and cans of beer, ranging in size from
16 to 40 ounces. Such items often have higher alcohol
content than regular beer, making them more potent.
Problematic Packaging
Single-serve alcoholic beverages are considered problematic for a number of reasons. First is that excessive
amounts of alcohol are being packaged for consumption
by a single individual. This is especially true of the high
alcohol content beer known as malt liquor. With 6 percent alcohol content being standard, a 40 ounce bottle
of this kind of product is equivalent to five shots of
whiskey. Since it sells for as little$1.39 a bottle, it is the
cheapest way for someone to get drunk.2 This makes it a
favorite among the homeless and other serial inebriates,
including those receiving public assistance, according
to research.3
Secondly, single-serve products are routinely offered
for sale cold and ready to be consumed. This frequently
Since Hispanic customers prefer lemon with some types of
beer, one San Bernardino store offers fresh lemons so that
the product can be consumed immediately after purchase.

leads to public intoxication and a wide range of associated problems including driving under the influence,
public urination, litter, and other disruptive behavior.
According to research, such problems are reported on a
regular basis by residents living in the proximity of retailers that sell single-serves. In addition, there are also
reports of crimes of violence,
including gang-related activities, resulting in personal injury

Last but not least, it should be
noted that the single-serve cans
and bottles of beer are very
popular with youth including
minorities, to whom these
products are specifically marketed. This includes several advertising campaigns featuring African American music video stars promoting
malt liquor in 40-ounce containers. In addition, since
these products are typically priced low, they are more
affordable for young people who have less disposable
income.7, 8 As a consequence, these products may tend
to increase problems related to underage drinking.
These are known to include poor academic performance, high-risk sexual practices and an increased likelihood of drinking problems developing later in life.9

Crime & Violence
The connection between crime, violence and alcohol
availability has been well documented by scientific research.10, 11, 12 Furthermore, there is new evidence indicating that the consumption of single-serve alcoholic beverages may also play a part. For example, a 2006 study of
Riverside crime statistics that found a correlation between
such sales and higher gang crime. According to Dr.
Robert Nash Parker, the author of the study, such products are a central part of the activities of gang members.
“They sip 40-ouncers, they party, they get their courage
up," it was noted in the report.13
Through GIS mapping studies, city officials in San Bernardino have also established a correlation between the
sales of single-serve alcoholic beverages and the prevalence of crime. As noted on the map at right, reports from
police of Part 1 property crime clearly demonstrate that
such crime is clustered around alcohol licensees known as
“Package Stores,” most of which are currently selling single serves.
Single-Serve Sales in the City of San Bernardino
To identify the extent of the problem in the City of San
Bernardino, a survey was conducted by the County Department of Public Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Program (ADAPP). As part of this effort, some
165 retailers licensed to sell alcoholic beverages were
studied and data related to the sales of single-serves were
collected. These included the different sizes and types of
such items being sold as well as the amount of shelf space

allocated for them. Results of the survey, which
was conducted in October
of 2008, showed that
these products are a staple
in gas stations, convenience and liquor stores
throughout the city, with
over 88 percent of them
having such items on their
shelves. Other results of
the survey are listed in the
table below.

City of San Bernardino: Part-1 Violent Crime in Proximity of ABC Licensed Package Stores
GIS mapping of the Central portion of the City of San Bernardino shows how often violent crimes (red dots) occur within a onehalf mile radius (indicated by the blue circles) from ABC licensed alcoholic retailers (blue triangles). Data collected by San Bernardino Police Department in 2007. Note: Part-1 crimes are a category of crimes that are generally considered more serious.

Future Directions
Although sales of single-serves are widespread in San
Bernardino, it is actually illegal for some of the city’s retailers to be selling products packaged in this way. This is
because of restrictions placed on these businesses by the
city at the time their alcohol license was issued. Known as
a Conditional Use Permit, such regulations are intended to
ensure the public’s health and safety, and all retailers are
required to comply with the restrictions imposed by them.
However, as demonstrated by the survey cited previously,
at least some of the city’s retailers have been failing to
meet this obligation.
to deal with problem businesses. These may include a
stronger conditional use permitting process for any new
businesses and what is known as a “Deemed Approved”
ordinance for those already in existence. In addition, there
is another initiative currently under way to encourage voluntary removal of single-serve products from the shelves
by retailers who are not currently required to do so by the
law. Coordinated by the Office of the Mayor through the
Operation Phoenix program, such action is expected to
reduce crime and improve the local business climate.
In response to this problem, the Office of the City Attorney launched an enforcement campaign in May, 2009 to
bring local alcohol retailers into compliance with all regulations. This campaign has been successful with cited
businesses removing the banned products from their
shelves. However, enforcement alone can not solve the
problem, as many retailers are exempt from the ban, having been in business before it went into effect. Therefore,
public officials feel that additional regulations are needed

SUBJECT:
Installation of traffic control measures along Main Street between Cottonwood
Avenue and 11th Avenue.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction to Staff regarding appropriate traffic
control measure along Main Street to enhance public safety.
BACKGROUND
On May 11, 2014 a traffic collision occurred at the intersection of Main Street and Balsam
Avenue. Unfortunately, the collision resulted in several fatalities. Although the incident was
deemed “not correctable” by normal traffic control devices, there was a public outcry regarding
the perceived safety of the intersection. The Balsam Avenue intersection is located along a
curved section of Main Street between the intersections of Cottonwood Avenue and 11th Avenue
in a high speed section of Main Street.
Collision reports were examined for the Balsam Avenue intersection along with those collisions
that occurred in the vicinity of the intersection since 2002. There have been 50 reported
collisions that have occurred at or near the intersection, many of these occurring at the
driveways west of the intersection. 14 of the 50 incidents resulted in injuries and 2 of the
incidents resulted in fatalities, including the incident on May 11, 2014.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Balsam Avenue is a local roadway, and is not designated as an arterial highway. It creates a
three-way intersection at Main Street and as such would not typically be a candidate for a traffic
signal. Main Street is a Major Arterial Highway as indicated on the City’s adopted General Plan
Circulation Element.
There are two other three-way intersections on Main Street between Cottonwood Ave and 11th
Avenue which are similar in alignment to the Balsam Avenue intersection. These occur at
Locust Avenue, and Hickory Avenue. There is over ¾ of a mile between the Cottonwood Ave
and 11th Ave intersections on Main Street and the speed limit for this portion of Main Street is 50
mph, with vehicles often exceeding the posted speed limit. Given the higher speeds and heavy
traffic volumes along this corridor, executing left turn movements from the side streets or even
from the two-way left turn pocket, can be a difficult movement for motorists to execute and
requires the utmost in patience.

Staff Report to Mayor and Council Members
Traffic Control Measures on Main Street at Balsam Avenue
June 16, 2015
There is a hierarchy to traffic control measures which control left turn movements. The first is to
install signage which prohibits left turn movements from the side streets and driveways onto
Main Street. This solution is easily disregarded by motorists, and without additional enforcement
this would not enhance the safety of the roadway. The next solution is to construct a two-way
left turn pocket in the center median area which allows a safe haven for those vehicles turning
left into side streets and driveways. This roadway feature is already in place on Main Street. The
third option is to construct a raised center median along the corridor which completely
eliminates left turn movements. This is the only improvement which eliminates the conflicting left
turn movement and has the potential to greatly enhance the safety of the corridor. The negative
effect of the raised center median is the forced right-in, right-out movement to businesses along
the corridor and it would force more traffic to utilize the traffic signals at Cottonwood Avenue and
11th Avenue. The raised center median would also prevent police and fire vehicles from utilizing
the existing two-way left turn lane during emergency calls. The installation of a traffic signal is
another measure which could be utilized if the majority of the collisions occur at an intersection.
Given the high number of collisions which have occurred at the driveways away from the
Balsam Avenue intersection, this option would not be an effective counter-measure.
Staff is proposing three options for consideration:
1) Install a raised center median along Main Street at the intersection with Balsam Avenue
extending to the east and west along Main Street from the intersection approximately
600 feet. The length of the raised center median would be adjusted to eliminate the left
turn movement in and out of the driveways with the highest number of collisions. A
protected left turn pocket could be included to accommodate the east-bound Main Street
to north-bound Balsam Avenue movement.
2) Install a raised center median from Cottonwood Ave to 11th Ave per the adopted street
section for a Major Arterial Highway. This would improve the safety of the intersections
and driveways along the corridor between these major intersections.
3) Do nothing. This would ensure that businesses along the corridor are not
inconvenienced; however it does nothing to address the safety concerns.
The Public Safety Advisory Committee considered this matter on April 14, 2015, after which it
recommended that the City Council consider option 2.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has hired a consultant to assist with the preparation of a Highway Safety Improvement
Program (HSIP) Grant to cover the majority of the costs associated with either the first or
second option. Staff and the consultant are confident that the grant application will be
successful given the collision history along the corridor.
The cost for the first option would be approximately $100,000 with the second option costing
approximately $350,000. Since the City is planning on reconstructing this section of Main Street
in the Summer of 2015, the center median improvements could be incorporated into those
improvements.

SUBJECT:
Animal Control Hayden Bill (SB 1785)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the report on the Hayden Bill and its
status.
BACKGROUND
The City Council, at its May 19, 2015 meeting, received information on animal control issues,
and laws governing operations of animal shelters, specifically Senate Bill (SB) 1785, which
requirements have been suspended since 2004. In response, Council requested staff provide
information on SB1785, known as the “Hayden Bill.”
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Hayden Bill was approved by the State legislature during the 1998 Legislative session, and
became effective July 1, 1999. Its purpose was to address “stray animals,” and in so doing it
significantly expanded rights and duties of publicly-funded animal shelters through amendments
to the California Penal (P), Civil (C), and Food and Agricultural (F&A) codes (see attachment).
More than thirteen changes were made to then-existing law. Among those were the following
key items (the language below is taken directly from the Hayden Bill):
1. Provided a list of animal records that were to be kept for three (3) years (F&A Code
32003);
2. Allowed nonprofit rescue/adoption groups to obtain animals to be killed, but can’t
demand an animal before the hold period is up, nor be given priority over adoption of the
same animal. A shelter can’t kill if a nonprofit has requested the animal, and can be required
to pay the same adoption fee (F&A Code 31108, 31752-31754);
3. Required shelters to maintain lost/found lists, and provide names/addresses of other
area shelters (F&A Code 32001);
4. Required shelters to check for owner-identification on strays (P Code 597.1(l));
5. Allowed judges to prohibit convicted animal abusers from owning animals (P Code
597.1);
6. Provided for pre/post-seizure hearings (P Code 597.1);
7. Provided for holding period for “working people”: Four (4) days plus the impoundment
day, if available at least one weekday evening until 7 p.m., or one weekend day, or; 6 days if
the shelter does not have “user-friendly hours” (F&A Code 31108, 31601-31681, 3175231753);
Page 51

Animal Control Hayden Bill (SB 1785)
June 16, 2015
8. Provided for holding "owner-relinquished” pets rather than killing immediately (F&A
Code 31754);
9. Provided for feral cat disposition similar to other animals, allowed killing after threeday hold if a temperament evaluation confirms it is feral (F&A Code 31752.5).
In 2000, the mandates under the Hayden Bill were challenged by cities/counties for
reimbursement as an “unfunded mandate.” In 2004, the mandates were suspended by the
Legislature, due in part to the reimbursement cost to agencies (totaled $23 million). The
Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) latest published report (2009) noted that other methods to
these mandates were more successful in animal care, including mandatory spay-neuter, and
curtailing backyard and professional breeding. Increasing animal hold periods did not increase
adoptions, but only prolonged the inevitable.
The Hayden Bill continues to be suspended, and is subject to the Legislature’s funding review
with each annual budget.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from this report.

Fiscal Year 2015/16 Adopted Budget
Financial Policies
I.
BUDGETING POLICY
 The City will adopt an annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1st no later than
June 30th of the same calendar year.
 The adopted budget will be balanced with current year operating expenditures fully funded
by current year revenues.
 Fund balance reserves for the General Fund, Water District, and Fire District will be used
only for non-recurring expenditures such as capital projects, studies, etc. and not for ongoing operations. In the event that fund balance reserves are used for recurring
(operational) expenditures, the City Council will be notified prior to adoption of the annual
budget.
 The City Manager is authorized to implement programs as approved in the adopted
budget.
 A First Quarter and Mid-Year budget review will be conducted for the City Council to
determine the status of projected revenues, expenditures, and other financial situations,
along with consideration of needed budget amendments. A Third Quarter review is
included in the presentation of the upcoming fiscal year’s proposed budget. An internal
Fourth Quarter appropriation review is conducted and budget amendments are presented
to the City Council as needed.
II.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICY
 The City will identify the estimated costs and potential funding sources for each capital
project prior to its submittal to the City Council for approval.
 Capital projects involve the purchase or construction of major capital assets such as land;
equipment; infrastructure; building or permanent improvements including additions,
replacements, and major alterations; having a long life expectancy; and costing $5,000 or
more.
 Capital projects are funded by a variety of funding sources, which are often restricted for a
specific purpose. Prior to a capital project being included in the annual budget, a
determination must be made that the project is an appropriate use of the funds and that
there is sufficient funding available.
III.
REVENUE POLICY
Recurring expenditures will be funded by recurring revenue. Recurring expenditure
increases that exceed recurring revenue growth should not be approved. Any new or
expanded programs should be required to identify new funding sources and/or offsetting
reductions in expenditures. In addition:
 The City shall use a conservative approach in projecting revenues.
 One-time revenues may be used for one-time expenditures or enhancement of reserves.
 The City shall update its user fees and charges periodically to recover costs of providing
that service for which a fee is charged.

III.
REVENUE POLICY (Continued)
 All potential grants shall be carefully reviewed for matching requirements, maintenance of
effort requirements, and on-going future expenditures requirements.
 Intergovernmental grants will be evaluated to determine the long term operating and
maintenance costs associated with the grant.
 The City will maintain water and sewer rate structures which are adequate to ensure that
these enterprise funds remain firmly and separately self-supporting, including the costs of
operation, capital replacement, cost allocation plan, and debt service.
IV.
RESERVE POLICY
Adequate reserve levels are a necessary component of the City’s overall financial
management strategy. It is the responsibility of the City Council to maintain a sufficient level
of reserve funds to provide for the orderly provision of services to the citizens of the City of
Hesperia. The City Council has the authority to decide the circumstances under which the
reserves can be used. The City Manager and the Assistant City Manager-Management
Services may, from time to time, make recommendations as to the level of reserve funds
necessary for prudent fiscal management. Reserve levels shall be reviewed at least annually
during the budget process to ensure that they are consistent with the conditions faced by the
City. All uses of reserves require a resolution of the City Council or will be incorporated in the
annual adopted budget.
The reserve policies for the General Fund, Hesperia Water District (Enterprise Fund), and
Hesperia Fire Protection District (Special Revenue Fund) require that a minimum of ten
percent (10%) of current fiscal year operations budget (expenditures) be reserved. Cash
reserves is a calculation of the ratio of cash and cash equivalents to the total individual fund
balance, as reported in the most recently completed Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR). The specific purpose of the reserves is to provide funding to meet operational
appropriation requirements in the event that either the City, Water District, or Fire District
experiences shortfalls in the level of anticipated revenues or unanticipated expenses.
V.
TRANSFER AUTHORITY
The following criteria establish the transfer authority for appropriations as set forth in the
fiscal year budget.
 Division Managers can make transfers between line items in the same program.
 Department Directors can make transfers between divisions within the same fund.
 Transfers between departments, within the same fund, will require the City Manager
approval.
 Transfers between the capital expenditure classification and the operating expenditure
classifications will require the City Manager approval.
 Transfers between different funds can only be made with an approved City Council
resolution.
 The Finance Division will review all budget transfers and make recommendations to the
City Manager.

FISCAL MANAGEMENT
 An independent firm of certified public accountants will perform an annual financial and
compliance audit according to General Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) that will be
incorporated into the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
 Annually, the City will seek the Governmental Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and the Certificate of
Achievement for Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards.
VII.
INVESTMENTS
 The City will continue to have a written investment policy approved by City Council
resolution annually. The policy for investments in priority order is safety, liquidity, and
yield.
 The City Council will receive reports on the cash position and performance of City
investments on a monthly basis.
VIII.
CAPITAL ASSETS
 Assets exceeding the value of $5,000 are considered capital assets.
 All assets will be maintained at a level that protects capital investment and minimizes
future maintenance costs.
IX.
DEBT MANAGEMENT
 The City will not issue long-term debt to finance current operations. Debt financing should
only be used for long-term capital improvement projects or purchases of capital assets,
such as water rights, that have a useful life exceeding the term of the financing. In
addition, identified revenue sources shall be identified to allow for the principal, interest,
and other related payments (debt service) of the long-term debt.
 The City will seek to maintain a high credit rating through sound financial practices as a
basis for minimizing borrowing costs.
 The City will monitor all forms of debt. Annually, the status of all long-term debt will be
reported to the City Council in the annual budget.
 The City will diligently monitor its compliance with bond covenants and continuing
disclosures.
