Report to Redding City Council July 10, 2025
Re: 9.10(b)--Consider the City of Redding General Fund Quarterly Financial Report Page 2
Overview
The current amended 10-year plan forecasts utilize approximately $5.3 million of reserve. The
update through March 31, 2025 shows overall revenues tracking below projections while
revenues are also trending below projections. The revenue results related to tax revenues and
particularly sales tax revenues are below forecasts thru March 31, 2025. As revenues,
particularly tax revenues trend below projections it continues to put additional pressure on the
General Fund. Due to the timing of this report, staff was able to include tax revenue performance
thru June, which was below projections. The expense side appears that it will trend within
current budget allocations and should experience savings this fiscal year overall but there could
be some exceptions due to the final three months and fiscal year end closeout.
Revenues
General Fund revenues through March 31, 2025, totals $69,003,014 which is $1,586,872 or 1.34
percent below staff's cash flow projection of $70,589,886. Staff is not recommending any
changes to projected revenues at this time.

Fiscal Year 2026 and Fiscal Year 2027. The projections in all major tax revenues were revised
and it will be important to track revenues relative to those new projections as we move into the
new budget year.

Report to Redding City Council July 10, 2025
Re: 9.10(b)--Consider the City of Redding General Fund Quarterly Financial Report Page 4
At this time, no adjustments are being recommended to expenditures. If at the end of the fiscal
year there are any required adjustments those will be presented to Council with the year-end
update after completion of Fiscal Year 2024-25.
Many of the departments above are within their cash flow budget projections year-to-date, and
all departments are under their overall allocated budget through March. Three departments show
over budget year-to-date which require additional discussion:
■ Non-Departmental, Mid-Town Mall, Debt Service & Animal Regulation - this is a result
of a timing difference of debt payments and staff anticipates by the end of the fiscal year
there will be savings.
■ The Police budget shows over budget year-to-date and this is largely the result of
retirement payouts. Staff expects that between the General Fund budgeted payout
allocation that is analyzed at year end and additional staff savings in the Police budget
that will be realized by year end that this budget will not require any additional
appropriations.
■ Fire is largely the result of increased overtime expenses but also includes retirement
costs. There are increased reimbursement revenues which will be recognized to cover the
additional overtime expenses associated to deployments and staff will analyze the
retirement payouts within the other General Fund payouts as mentioned above regarding
police.
General Fund Reserves
As of March 31, 2025, the General Fund cash balance was ($535,662) or (.4) percent. At year
end, the ten-year plan projects the reserve to be 7.2 percent. The final reserve is subject to change
dependent on revenue and expenditure outcomes and finalization of year end work in Finance.
An example of cash not currently in the reserve but wi11 be included by year end is the gas tax
transfer which is projected to be between $6 to $7 million of cash year-to-date and wi11 continue
to increase through the remainder of the fiscal year. The final assessment of ending cash for the
fiscal year wi11 be available upon completion of the annual audit, and if changes are necessary
they are made in February with the Mid-Year Report. At this time, staff is not recommending
any changes to the projected reserve.
General Fund Overtime
The City's General Fund overtime expense totals $5,316,387 through March 31, 2025. This is
$2,460,844 above staff's cash flow estimate of $2,855,543. The expenditures year-to-date
compared to the year-to-date budget are listed below, of which, the four largest overtime budgets
are Fire, Police, Parks, and Streets:
• The Fire Department had overtime expenses through March 31, 2025 of $3,877,650
compared to a total overtime budget of$1,675,'793;
� The Police Department had overtime �xpenses through March 31, 2025 of $1,262,842
compared to a total overtime budget of$1,1]6,'750;
� The Community Services Department had overtime expenses through March 31, 2025 of
$117,875 compared to a total overtime budget of$0.
• The Public Works Department had overtime expenses through March 31, 2025 of
$52,420 compared to a total overtime budget of$52,500; and
� All other General Fund Departments had overtime expenses through March 31, 2024 of
$5,599 compared to an overtime budget of$10,500.
Report to Redding City Council July 10, 2025
Re: 9.10(b)--Consider the City of Redding General Fund Quarterly Financial Report Page 5
Although some of the aforementioned expenses are either over budget or nearly over budget,
there are no additional budget requests at this time. Each department has adequate savings in
areas such as personnel charges and/or additional cross charges to other City departments, to
offset the excess costs.
EnviNonmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further
action is required.
