Staff Reports 3A. Finance Mid-Year Budget Review Finance Director David Cain gave the PowerPoint presentation attached to the meeting agenda, and explained the City's current situation, including deferrals of payments to PERS, staffing changes and improvements to the City's cash flow position based on implementation of Pre-Pendency and Pendency plans. He said that deferred bankruptcy related expenses allowed the City to adopt a "balanced budget," but the deferrals are significant: $6.6 million in Pension obligation bonds, $800,000 in accounts payable, $13.5 million to PERS; and $2 million in litigation expenses. Other deferrals include not replacing fleet, equipment, computers and communications, as well as Capital Improvement deferrals in streets, roads, buildings and parks that equal $200 million. He also detailed General Fund obligations that are not accounted for in the adopted budget, and recommended adjustments for the mid-year. He projected the budgeted cash balance of the General Fund as of June 2014 to be $10.3 million and the total cash for all other funds projected at $31.4 million. He said several issues will affect the City's financial future, including overtime costs in the fire department, loss of the SAFER grant, and pension costs that are likely to double in the next five to seven years. City Manager Allen Parker said the next step would be to create a 2014-15 budget, which requires a prioritization of service delivery options. This will include prioritizing service, committing to doing the important things well, questioning past spending patterns, living within the City's means, knowing the true cost of doing business and providing transparency in the process. Consensus: Receive and file. 4. Public Comment on Items Not on the Agenda No public comments were received.
