RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council and Redevelopment Agency conduct the public hearing on the proposed Fiscal Year
2006-2007 Annual Operating Budget and Five -Year Capital Improvement Program, and schedule
the budget for adoption at the June 27, 2006, joint City Council and Redevelopment Agency
meeting.
BACKGROUND
This is a joint Public Hearing of the City Council and Redevelopment Agency on the proposed
Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Operating Budget, Redevelopment Agency Budget, and Five -Year
Capital Improvement Program.
The Fiscal Year 2006-2007 budget process was a six month effort that began in January. The
City Council Budget Sub -Committee which is composed of Mayor Pro Tem McLean and
Council Member Kellar have been involved in the budget process since the beginning and played
a significant role in the development of the recommended Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Budget.
The recommended Budget and Capital Improvement Program was presented to the Planning
Commission on June 6, 2006. The Planning Commission made a finding by minute action, that
the recommended Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Budget and Capital Improvement Program was
consistent with the City's General Plan. In addition, the recommended Budget was also
presented to the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission on June 1, 2006.
Below is a summary of the recommended Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Annual Operating Budget and
Capital Improvement Program:
• Total Appropriations: $138,896,995
• Total Capital Improvement Program Budget: $23,186,900
• Total Revenues: $151,685,140
• Total General Fund Revenues: $86,168,050
• Total Special Revenues: $65,517,090
The proposed Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Budget appropriations total $138,896,995, which is a 3%
increase from the Fiscal Year 2005-2006 Adopted Budget.
Projected revenues for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 total $151,685,140. This is a decrease of 24%, of
$48,682,556 from Fiscal Year 2005-2006. This is due to a decrease in Special Revenue
associated with the start or completion of large capital projects such as the Newhall Community
Center, Transit Maintenance Facility, Cross Valley Connector Gap Closure, Magic Mountain
Interchange and the Bouquet Canyon Bridge.
The City's largest fund is the General Fund, representing 57% or $86,168,050 of total projected
revenues for Fiscal Year 2006-2007. The top four General Fund revenue sources are Sales Tax,
Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fees, Property Tax and Development Revenue which
comprise 76% of the total General Fund revenue. Sales Tax continues to be the City's largest
General Fund revenue source accounting for 38% of the total General Fund revenue or
$32,374,985. This is a 7% increase over Fiscal Year 2005-2006.
The proposed General Fund allocation or expenditure totals $84,614,299. This is a 5% decrease
from Fiscal Year 2005-2006 due to a decrease in General Fund contribution to capital projects,
resulting in more capital projects being funded out of Special Revenue sources. The proposed
General Fund allocation for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 includes funding for operating departments
($63,640,370), capital projects ($6,356,400), debt services ($2,825,729), Council Contingency
($1,000,000), transfers to other funds ($5,791,800), and a loan to the Redevelopment Agency
($5,000,000) to fund the Streetscape and Restriping projects in the Downtown Newhall area.
Of the total recommended General Fund expenditure, Parks, Recreation and Community Services
accounts for 21 % of the City's General Fund operating budget. This is consistent with the City's
philosophy of making parks and recreation programs and opportunities for our children and teens
a priority.
General Fund Reserves for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 total $25,850,000. This includes a 15%
operating reserve that totals $12.7 million, a 1% increase from Fiscal Year 2005-2006. This was
a goal set by the City Council in previous years that we have reached as a result of the City
Council's leadership and responsible approach to budgeting. The total General Fund reserve also
designates funding for Newhall Redevelopment, Cemex, Whittaker Bermite, South Santa Clarita
Annexation, MTA Grant Match and Capital Projects.
The recommended Redevelopment Agency budget for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 totals $1,522,870,
which includes $289,750 for Personnel and $1,233,120 for Operations and Maintenance.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency.
