REPORT TO MEASURE Z CITIZEN COMMITTEE
To:Honorable Members of the Committee
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date:May 31, 2023
Subject:Fiscal Year 2023-24 Measure Z Budget Spending Plan
Recommendation
Review and approve the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Measure Z Budget Spending Plan.
Background
On November 3, 2020, residents of Lake Elsinore voted in favor of Measure Z, a locally controlled
one-cent, or one percent, transaction and Use Tax to generate unrestricted general fund dollars
to address City service, public safety, and local recovery needs.
The Measure Z Citizen Committee's primary role is to independently review and provide advice
and guidance concerning the expenditure of Measure Z revenues. The Committee is tasked with
meeting in a public forum at least twice each calendar year to ensure funding is being used
consistent with the community's established goals and needs. Specifically, the Committee must
annually review and report on the City's proposed and actual expenditure of proceeds generated
by the Transactions and Use (Sales) Tax, along with reviewing the independent annual audit of
those revenues and expenditures prepared by a Certified Public Accounting firm. The
Committee's report shall then be submitted to the City Council for review and discussion at a
public meeting.
Discussion
Before the passage of Measure Z, the City engaged residents and businesses as part of its ”Let's
Talk Lake Elsinore” campaign to identify the community's needs. Based on this effort and the
recently completed Citizen Satisfaction Survey, residents identified the following spending
priorities:
•Provide quick responses to 911 emergencies
•Address Homelessness
•Fix streets and repair potholes
•Keep public areas clean, healthy, and free of graffiti

•Provide law enforcement services, including neighborhood patrols, crime prevention,
investigations
•Make improvements to Lake Elsinore's water quality, beaches, and recreational
amenities
•Prepare for public health emergencies, wildfires, natural disasters, and other large-scale
emergencies
•Improve economic development and attract new employers and businesses to Lake
Elsinore
•Revitalize outdated commercial areas of the City
•Expand and improve the network of trails and bike lanes
•Build a new library
The City has identified Measure Z projects for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 as outlined in the attached
Measure Z Budget Spending Plan based on the priorities identified by the community. As shown,
staff estimated the City would have approximately $32.7 million in Measure Z funds for the Fiscal
Year 2023-24. This amount includes fund balance, revenues, and investment earnings.
Staff recommends allocating Measure Z funding to each of the following areas:
FY2023-24
DESCRIPTION AMOUNT % SHARE
Police Services $ 3,455,070 10.55%
Fire Services 3,127,920 9.58%
Animal Control 259,000 0.79%
Emergency Services 377,450 1.16%

Capital Projects 20,568,739 62.98%
$ 32,656,699 100.00%
While the City has made great strides toward maintaining our streets and roads recently, many of
our local streets have not been repaired or resurfaced in more than 20 years. Many projects have
been included to address the community's desires to pave roads, fix potholes, and repave our
streets while completing deferred maintenance in the City's parks and other City facilities.
In addition, funding has been included to help keep Lake Elsinore healthy, safe, clean, and well-
maintained by adequately addressing homelessness, resolving public safety issues throughout
the City, and supporting the community through the pandemic.
The Committee's report of its review of the proposed budget spending plan is needed before the
City Council's meeting on June 27, 2023. City Staff will present the proposed FY2023-24 Measure
Z spending plan to the City Council, including comments from the Committee, as part of the overall
budget.
