The city's spending plan totals $96.2 million across all funds, with a $635,000 General Fund gap covered by reserves — which remain healthy at over 35%. The budget funds three new police vehicles, a rescue ambulance, community events, and $9.4 million for ten capital projects.
San Gabriel City Council Meeting - Apr 22, 2026
The city plans to spend $635,000 more than it takes in next year, covered by reserves — and the five-year forecast shows moderate deficits through 2031-32. Reserves would still be around 35% next year, comfortably above the 25% target, but that cushion shrinks over time.
