The City of Norco held a City Council Special Meeting on June 9, 2026, focused primarily on reviewing and discussing the fiscal year 2026-27 budget, including both the operating budget and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Staff presented updates on budget adjustments made since the initial May presentations, including reductions in vacant positions, vehicle replacement charges, and revenue projections. The council discussed options for balancing a projected $1.8 million deficit, including use of undesignated general fund balances, equipment replacement funds, and pension reserves. The meeting also covered unfunded projects related to development impact fees, with a long-term CIP wish list totaling approximately $297 million, addressing infrastructure, public safety, water, and parks. Council members raised concerns about budget clarity, staffing levels, and the allocation of funds such as Measure R. The discussion included detailed questions on specific projects, funding sources, and the rationale behind development impact fee calculations. No formal votes were recorded during this session, but staff indicated further budget actions and presentations would occur at the next council meeting on June 17, 2026.
