ITEM 1 (205-02)
FINANCIAL PLAN FOR 1997-98 AND 1998-99
Deputy Mayor Rexford opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager
Bowersox. This is the first of three public hearings to present the City's 1997-
98 and 1998-99 Financial Plan. For the first time in the City's history, the
proposed Comprehensive Financial Program represents a two-year plan. It
incorporates two separate fiscal year budgets and establishes separate
appropriations for each year. The proposed Plan recommends a City operating
budget of $40,395,510 for the FY 1997-98 and $39,395,460 for FY 1998-99. A
Redevelopment/Housing Services operating budget of $5,245,210 is recommended for
the FY 1997-98 and $5,251,500 for FY 1998-99. In addition, the Plan proposes an
appropriation of $1,214,206 for the City and Redevelopment Agency capital
improvement projects and multi-year programs. The proposed General Fund budget
is balanced with projected revenues of $17,072,710 and proposed expenditures of
$16,969,264. The total General Fund revenue projection reflects an increase of
$377,847 over the current year. This is primarily due to increased projections
for property and sales taxes, as well as increased development activity.
City Manager Bowersox introduced the members of the Budget Review Committee,
Bruce Hamilton and Howard Maher. Carol Chostner was not present and Bill Rickles
and Douglas McArthur have resigned.
Bruce Hamilton, Chairman of the Budget Review Committee, reviewed the
recommendations of the committee and thanked staff for their efforts in preparing
and providing the necessary documents. He then presented the City Manager and
City Staff with framed Certificates of Appreciation for their assistance and
diligent work in the preparation of the budget.
The five-year fiscal forecast was presented by Deputy Director of Administrative
Services Moote. Staff has projected three scenarios from a ~best" case to a
~worst" case. The long term outlook has improved significantly over the
formalized version first prepared in FY 1993-94.
Council discussion included inquiry on provisions for potential lawsuits, set
aside for road maintenance and infrastructure plans.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Cafagna, to accept the
Budget Review Committee's report and continue the public hearing to June 24,
1997. Motion carried 4-0 with Mayor Higginson absent.
