Item to be presented
George Caravalho
DATE: June 6, 1994
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for the 1994-95 Annual Budget and
Five -Year Capital Improvement Program
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
BACKGROUND
These items are on the agenda for the public hearing of the 1994-95 Proposed Operating and
Capital Improvement Budget and Five -Year CIP. On May 10, 1994, the City Council received the City
Manager's recommended budget. The Council also received a list of 31 items of high priority, but
left unfunded, totalling $1.7 million (see Attachment A). The City Council has conducted a series
of study sessions throughout the months of May and June to ensure that all components of the
budget were sufficiently reviewed and addressed. Through these sessions, the Council has
requested or inquired into items or projects totalling $1,555,000 (see Attachment B). While the City
is nearing the completion of its budget, the issue of how much the proposed budget will be used
to support the federally mandated storm water pollution prevention program has been a major
challenge and needs continued discussion. Staff recommended a $24.00 a month fee for full
implementation of a 3 year program. The City Manager is recommending a $19.00 a month reduced
program.
Any additions to the budget should be funded from the contingency fund or cutting the budget to
make funds available for these new additions.
Since May 10, 1994, the City has received notice from the MTA that the commuter bus line to the
San Fernando Valley must be continued. The program cost is $880,000. Also, PERS (California
Public Employee Retirement System) informed the City on May 22, 1994, that the rate will go up
1.75`/x. This is an approximate $130,000 increase over the proposed budget.
We are prepared to take public testimony and receive direction from the Council on how to proceed
with the budget.
Both the Five -Year Capital Improvement Program and Capital Projects portion of the budget were
presented to the Parks and Recreation and Planning Commissions. The CIP was found to be
consistent with the City's General Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council conduct the public hearing and give staff direction to prepare the final draft
Budget and CIP for adoption at the June 28, 1994 Council meeting.
