City Budget
City Administrator Wilson advised that State budget reductions will ultimately
impact the City's budget. He stated that it is anticipated that the State booking
fee subsidy will be eliminated ($689, 100); as well as State grant funds for the
Arts on 5th Multicultural Center ($295,500), the Skateboard Park construction
($25,000), and the Santa Fe Depot restoration ($394,000), for a total negative
impact to the City budget of $1.4 million.

budget. She distributed two documents-one titled, Estimated Revenues and
Expenditures, Year End Fiscal Year 2001-2002, General Fund; and the other a

6/5/2002
Ms. Pachon reviewed the UUT information with the Council, stating that the
main difference between projected and acmal revenues is in the electric
collections. Although some of this is due to milder temperatures, staff has been
working with Edison to get more detailed information to make sure there are no
billing or collection errors.
City Administrator Wilson advised that staff is already aware of certain
anticipated expenditures coming down the line in 2003/04, such as: I)
Increased costs associated with PERS benefits for safety employees; 2) Possible
3 percent @ 50 retirement benefit for safety personnel; and 3) Construction,
staffing and operation of the new Verdemont fire station.
He stated that there are a number of requests from City departments that the
Council needs to consider-program change requests and personnel changes that
departments are proposing-which would be distributed to the Council in the
next day or so.
Mayor Valles closed by stating that it was a good thing that the Council had
budgeted as conservatively as they could so that the City does have a reserve.
She added that no drastic cuts will be necessary, although it may not be possible
to fund everything everybody wants. Bottom line, the City is still financially
sound.
