General Fund Reserves
One of the benchmarks used to assess the General Fund’s
progress toward financial sustainability is the General
Fund Reserve Policy. With the adoption of the FY 18/19
Budget, the City Council expanded the previous 15%
reserve policy, adding three new reserve categories to
internally restrict funds in order to address some of the
City’s long-term financial liabilities and potential areas of
financial exposure, such as claims expenses, aged infra-
structure, and rising retiree benefits. Below is a list of the
adopted reserve categories.

GENERAL FUND RESERVESOne of the benchmarks used to assess the
General Fund’s progress toward financial
sustainability is the General Fund Reserve
Policy. With the adoption of the FY 18/19
Budget, the City Council expanded the
previous 15% reserve policy, adding three
new reserve categories to internally restrict
funds in order to address some of the City’s
long-term financial liabilities and potential
areas of financial exposure, such as claims
expenses, aged infrastructure, and rising
retiree benefits. Below is a list of the
adopted reserve categories.
Budget-At -A-Glance: FY 2018/19
OPERATING DEFICIT: -$965,341
The General Fund is operating with a structural budget
deficit. Fiscal Year 2018/19 Budget is balanced due to
proceeds from one-time proporty sales of $2.9 million.
Azusa is committed to sharing information with its citizens about the source of every dollar of revenue, as well as how each dollar is used for the benefit of the community. The General Fund Operating Budget is adopted by the City Council annually and is a forecast of revenues and
expenditures for the fiscal year.

With removal of the one-time proceeds, the General Fund’s
budget is structurally imbalanced with an operating deficit
of $1.0 million. The City is tasked in the upcoming years to
explore ways to enhance its revenue base in order to keep up
with rising costs while maintaining quality services to the
Community.

GENERAL FUND RESERVES
One of the benchmarks used to assess the
General Fund’s progress toward financial
sustainability is the General Fund Reserve
Policy. With the adoption of the FY 18/19
Budget, the City Council expanded the
previous 15% reserve policy, adding three
new reserve categories to internally restrict
funds in order to address some of the City’s
long-term financial liabilities and potential
areas of financial exposure, such as claims
expenses, aged infrastructure, and rising
retiree benefits. Below is a list of the
adopted reserve categories.
Budget-At -A-Glance: FY 2018/19
OPERATING DEFICIT: -$965,341
The General Fund is operating with a structural budget
deficit. Fiscal Year 2018/19 Budget is balanced due to
proceeds from one-time proporty sales of $2.9 million.
Azusa is committed to sharing information with its citizens about the source of every dollar of
revenue, as well as how each dollar is used for the benefit of the community. The General Fund
Operating Budget is adopted by the City Council annually and is a forecast of revenues and
expenditures for the fiscal year.

Los fondos de las ventas de propiedad, de solo una vez, de
$2.9 millones ayudaron a que la Cuenta General lograra un
presupuesto equilibrada para el Año Fiscal 18/19. Con la
eliminación de los fondos recibidos una sola vez, el presupuesto
de Cuenta General está desequilibrado estructuralmente con
un déficit operativo de $1.0 millones. La Ciudad tiene la
responsabilidad en los próximos años de explorar maneras
de mejorar su base de ingresos para mantenerse al tanto con
el incremento de los costos mientras mantiene la calidad de
servicios para la Comunidad.
