Subject: Fiscal Year 2022-23 Measure Z Budget Considerations
Recommendation
Review and discuss considerations for the City’s Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital
Improvement Plan Budget.
Background
The Measure Z Citizen Committee is tasked with independently reviewing and providing
guidance to the City Council concerning the expenditure of Measure Z revenues to ensure they
align with the established goals and needs of the community.
Prior to the passage of Measure Z, residents identified the following spending priorities:
Preparing for any public health or catastrophic emergency
Having adequate 911 emergency capacity
Continuing to address homelessness and supporting residents and families in transition
Improving fire protection and paramedic services
Keeping public areas safe, healthy, and clean
Continuing law enforcement services, including effectively staffed neighborhood patrols
Supporting residents and local businesses through our local recovery
Measure Z officially went into effect on April 1, 2021. Last year, the City Council and the Citizen
Committee approved a Measure Z Budget Spending Plan for Fiscal Year 2021-22 (Exhibit A).
This plan was reviewed by the Citizen Committee in May 2021 and adopted by the City Council
in June 2021.
The City of Lake Elsinore officially begins its budget process in January of each year for the
coming fiscal year. The City’s fiscal year extends from July 1 to June 30.
