STAFF REPORTS
5. General Fund Financial Results, COVID-19 Economic Impacts Update and Long -Range
Forecast
Director of Finance Aaron Beanan presented the report along with a PowerPoint presentation.
Mr. Beanan provided the General Fund financial results for Fiscal Year 2019-2020, an update
regarding the COVID-19 economic impact, and presented a draft long-range financial
forecast. Mr. Beanan reported that the final operating results for the General Fund were mostly
consistent with staff's projections, with revenues and expenditures coming in slightly higher
than anticipated. Mr. Beanan explained that based on current data, the economy remains
consistent with staff's "Moderate -V" projections. Additionally, he noted that expenses are
anticipated to increase more quickly than revenues creating anticipated deficits from Fiscal
Year 2021-22 through Fiscal Year 2025-26. Surpluses, he noted, were projected to begin in
Fiscal Year 2026-27; predominantly the result of declining CaIPERS expenses and new
development revenues. He also indicated that the long-range forecast helps identify future
challenges and opportunities, causes of fiscal imbalances plus strategies to secure financial
sustainability and will continue to be updated as the economy and city finances change.
No speakers.
Council spoke in support of having a long-range financial forecast. Councilmember Mullin also
indicated it might be appropriate to look at the General Fund Reserve Policy reserve fund
