Ariel said the combined total for all funds was \"the total surplus for all the funds is $3,700,000,\" and reported that general-fund revenues exceeded projections while overall spending came in under budget. The city’s unaudited reserve balance at year-end was reported as $16.5 million, which Ariel broke down as operating, emergency and undesignated reserves.

The surplus came amid revenue gains in several categories: transient-occupancy tax (TOT) receipts exceeded expectations, property-tax receipts were stronger than forecast, and ambulance billing produced higher-than-forecast collections. At the same time, sales-tax receipts lagged budgeted targets, a pattern staff attributed to consumer caution.

Ariel also walked council and the public through a new financial-transparency tool on the city website, hosted on OpenGov. \"This updates every night,\" Ariel said of the portal, which maps adopted budgets to transaction-level actuals and lets users filter by fund, department and account.

Why it matters: The unaudited surplus and the new portal both affect near-term policy choices and public oversight. Council members praised the transparency tool as a way to track revenue and spending in close to real time, while staff and council flagged budget risks that remain.

Key fund details and risks
- General fund: Amended budget vs. unaudited actuals produced a $600,000 surplus for FY 2024–25. The council-approved FY 2025–26 forecast shows a modest decline in reserves but remains positive under current assumptions.
- Water enterprise fund: Reported a $1.1 million surplus, increasing the fund balance.
- Cemetery fund: Combined cemetery and cemetery endowment revenues and expenditures produced an operating deficit for the year and an ending fund balance the presentation listed as negative $1.4 million; staff said the figure includes historical entries that will be addressed through accounting adjustments and planned management actions.

Council discussion and next steps
Council members asked staff for follow-up on the cemetery fund. The city manager and finance staff said they will return with a more detailed plan from the parks division, including fee updates, increased cemetery staffing capacity, and volunteer and activation efforts aimed at reducing the operating shortfall.

Council members and staff repeatedly noted that a primary fiscal sensitivity is public-safety contract costs. Ariel cautioned that if county sheriff or fire contract costs rise materially above the current projection the city could move back toward a structural deficit.

Council member Ding read the proclamation on behalf of the mayor and presented it to Lukasz. Lukasz described 0 Waste Sonoma as a joint powers authority representing the county’s 10 jurisdictions and summarized the agency’s recent work: outreach and education (including a recycling guide printed in English and Spanish), repair fairs, household-hazardous-waste (HHW) services, a solar-panel recycling pilot, edible-food rescue grants and a proposed compost-processing facility.

Lukasz said the 0 Waste website is one of the agency’s most used tools and that the agency had nearly 150,000 visits overall and about 2,500 visits from Sonoma residents in the past year. She said 0 Waste Sonoma prints about 25,000 English and 13,000 Spanish copies of its recycling guide and provides Spanish-language outreach and radio programming. On reuse and repair, Lukasz said the authority will host a free repair fair in each of its 10 member jurisdictions and that Sonoma’s repair fair will return in May.

On hazardous-waste and infrastructure, Lukasz said the authority purchased four acres in Windsor intended to host a primary HHW facility; the project is at about 30% design and is in permitting, with a tentative permitting timeline of roughly a year. She described a state-funded pilot that ran 12 collection events for end-of-life solar panels; residents brought more than 1,000 panels for proper recycling. She also said the agency has received over \"$3,000,000 in grants to help rescue edible food\" and reported that the agency had rescued \"over 330 pounds of edible food\" that otherwise would have gone to landfill.

Lukasz described compost plans: the authority is pursuing zoning for a compost facility on airport property with a hoped-for capacity of 65,000 tons per year to process material collected from green bins.

Council members asked questions about timing for the Windsor HHW site and coordination with the local hauler; Lukasz said the Windsor design is at 30% and permitting could take about a year, and that 0 Waste Sonoma coordinates with the city’s local hauler to deliver services.

Quistoni described YWCA Sonoma County as the county’s primary domestic-violence service provider and gave local service statistics. \"On average, the YWCA Sonoma County serves approximately 3,000 individuals in need per year,\" Quistoni said. She added that the client population served by the YWCA is \"90% female, 51% identify as Hispanic, Latinx, 23% are children, and 4% are seniors,\" and that 14% of clients who come to the shelter are homeless at intake.

Quistoni also told the council that Sonoma County experienced six incidents of domestic violence resulting in the loss of life for 15 individuals so far that year, a rise she contrasted with prior years.

Why it matters: The proclamation is a formal recognition by the city to raise awareness of domestic violence and to highlight local services, including the YWCA’s 24/7 crisis hotline and confidential shelter. The YWCA said it remains the county’s only 24/7 domestic-violence hotline and only confidential safe-house shelter.
