CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and Common Council
From: Fred Wilson, City Manager
Subject: Updated Budget Reduction Plans
Date: July 3, 2008
Copies:
At the June 30 budget workshop, the Mayor and Council approved a series of budget-
balancing options which totaled $10,281,200.
Attachment A summarizes the actions approved on June 30.
After the meeting, some Councilmembers expressed concern regarding the deletion of the
crossing guard program and the proposed layoffs (Attachment Al). Because of this
concern, no further action has been taken regarding the layoffs.
Attachment B outlines all the decisions involving layoffs, as they currently stand, not
including the crossing guards. Since the last meeting, the number of full-time layoffs has
been reduced from 13 to 8, as a result of new vacancies, retirements, and other actions to
move personnel into vacant positions.
Attachment C summarizes the items to be considered at the July 7 meeting:
Police Department reorganization: Savings of $653,600
This item was referred for further discussion at the June 30 meeting. Chief Billdt had
previously distributed a detailed analysis of this proposal, and will be present to answer
further questions at the July 7 workshop. This proposed reorganization allows for
significant savings to be achieved, while still preserving the community policing model.
Additional anticipated revenues: Revenue of$1,480,800
Over the last several weeks, staff has been working to identify potential additional
revenues that might be realized during FY 08-09. This additional revenue includes raising
parking citation fines, imposing business registration penalties currently allowed under
the Municipal Code, increasing billings for hazmat and arson investigation activities,
building fee increases, additional anticipated Utility Tax, and other actions.
Employee cost sharing by Management/Confidential
Unclassified personnel (includes Police and Fire management): Savings of$718,500
The San Bernardino Management Confidential Association (SBCMA) has agreed in
concept to a form of furlough program that will result in a savings equal to a 5% cut in
pay. Police and Fire Management have also agreed in concept to various items equal to a
5% cut in pay.
Continue funding of 50% of crossing guard program: Cost of$195,000
If the Mayor and Council determine to continue the crossing guard program, this cost will
be added to the current deficit projection
Use of additional Measure Z fund balance: Savings of$434,300
Following the meeting on June 30, upon further review of Measure Z fund balance, it was
determined that this amount of anticipated Measure Z revenues remains available and
could be allocated to fund additional Police overtime in lieu of other reductions in the
Police Department budget.
Shift of Gas Tax Proiect to Tax Increment: Savings of$330,000
Staff has identified two capital improvement projects totaling $330,000 that could be
funded by tax increment funds instead of Gas Tax. This, in turn, makes Gas Tax available
to fund additional street lighting costs via a transfer to the General Fund. The net effect of
this somewhat complex action is to provide General Fund savings in the amount of
$330,000, while still completing the street rehab projects.
Other modifications:
We note the following actions that will need to be modified, for various reasons:
• In order to mitigate the impacts on park maintenance and improve community
appearance, the EDA has budgeted to fund a contract of$250,000 with the City's Parks
Department to provide maintenance of EDA-owned properties and blight abatement
services. Of this amount, $166,200 will be used to fund three (3) Park Maintenance
Workers as noted on page 4 of the June 11 options list. It is proposed that the remaining
revenue to the City be used to fund the addition of two new Park Maintenance Worker I
positions, at an estimated cost of $83,800 for salaries and benefits in FY 08-09.
Augmenting the Parks maintenance staff will allow for the elimination of $100,000 in
mowing contracts that is already included on the June 11 list, and provide for a higher
level of maintenance.
• Funding for the Crime-Free Rental Housing Program ($142,000) shifted to EDA
Low-Mod Housing fund — EDA has concluded that this program in ineligible for this
source of funding. This item will need to be removed from the list.
If approved, the above-listed actions will reduce the deficit to $3.8 million as noted on
Attachment C. It is anticipated that the deficit will be reduced further if final agreement
is reached with our remaining employee groups concerning employee cost sharing similar
to the 5% reduction reached with management. If that agreement is not reached by mid-
July, we will recommend additional budget cuts to achieve a balanced budget.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
