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.
