SUBJECT: Consider Resolution 95-—
Adopting the Annual Budget for the Fiscal Year
Beginning July 1, 1995 and Ending June 30, 1996
The City Council received the City Manager's proposed budget on June 7, 1995 and has held two
budget workshops to review the revenue estimates and proposed expenditures. The resolution
being considered incorporates the direction received at the budget workshops.
Added Items
There were also a few items which have been included in the budget which were not mentioned at
the budget workshops.
1. $1,686 and $750 were added to the General Fund administrative services memberships
and dues (01.4.117.634) to pay SCAG and Water Committee dues.
2. $2,400 was added to the General Fund police services special equipment (01.4.121.906)
for two bicycles and associated equipment for the bike patrol. This expenditure is offset by
donations.
Budget Highlights
The General Fund was the focus of most of the budget discussions. Significant savings
throughout fiscal year 1994/1995 and a slight increase in revenues resulted in growth in the fund
balance which was used to maintain a balanced budget in fiscal year 1995/1996. The projected
year end fund balance at June 30, 1996 is slightly larger than the beginning fund balance at the
beginning of the current year's budget.
This has allowed for the expansion of police services by adding an additional deputy to assist with
crime prevention, DARE and patrol activities. As mentioned, donations have also enabled the
police department to initiate a bike patrol this year.
The management analyst position which has been vacant is again funded, along with two summer
intern positions. A third intern position funded by gas tax funds is being used in public works.
Recreation programs for teens are expanded in this budget and there is an additional allocation for
equipment and activities for teens. The Teen Council will be consulted for recommendations on
programs, activities, excursions and equipment.
The budget for the new year also incorporates the 2.5% cost of living increase for all employees
and the improvement in the prescription card benefit with our health insurance renewal July 1.
Other personnel items which are calculated in the budget include a $25 monthly stipend for our
nine certified emergency medical technicians, transferring part-time employees who work more
than 1,000 hours in a year to the Public Employees Retirement System with the City paying the
employee's contribution on their behalf and the allowance for merit raises based upon evaluations
of performance.
The General Fund will also transfer $175,000 to the Parks Maintenance Assessment District, per
the action taken by the City Council at the June 21, 1995 meeting.
Equipment purchases include $60,000 distributed to various funds for computer system upgrades.
This item will be brought back to the City Council for approval of the upgrade plan. Other capital
equipment includes replacement office furniture, chairs for the dias, cushioned chairs for the
senior center, camera/editing equipment for channel 10, a radar unit, a grant funded information
kiosk, projector/tv/vcr for the AVCP building, teen equipment for the AVCP building, and
security cameras for the AVCP building.
The Community Development Fund is expected to end the current year with a slight balance.
There were no requests for additional positions. During the new budget year, staff will be
monitoring the apportionment of planning staff time to general city projects and chargeable
development or entitlement related projects.
Recommendation (Roll Call Vote Required)
Staff requests the City Council adoption of Resolution 95-_ establishing the City's budget for
fiscal year 1995/1996.
