Porterville council reviews $152 million capital improvement plan and flagged fund shortfalls
Summary
City staff presented a $152 million capital improvement plan (CIP) and a set of projected fund balances for FY 2025-26, highlighting healthy reserves in some accounts and multi-year deficits in others, notably risk management and the municipal golf course.
At a Porterville City Council meeting, staff presented a proposed $152,000,000 capital improvement plan for fiscal year 2025–26 and updated projected ending fund balances for the city’s major funds.
The presentation showed several funds with positive projected balances but identified multi‑year deficits in some targeted accounts. "Measure H sales tax has a projected ending balance of 4,400,000.0 even with operating costs of 5,600,000.0 and 722,000 in capital projects," Assistant Finance Director Tricia Whiteley said during the presentation. She also told the council that American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds shown in the worksheet are already fully allocated and must be expended by December 2026.
