Total of $1,500,400 to be distributed to safety salaries as indicated below: $ 43,000 Fire Management 66,500 Police Management 668,900 Fire Safety 722,000 Police Safety $1,500,400 TOTAL p"'ITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT I. Included in the FY 1997-98 budget in the General Government Department is a total of $800,000 for Charter Section 186 salary adjustments. This budget estimate was arrived at based on prior years actual Charter Section 186 salary adjustments (1996-97 was $802,047 and 1995-96 was $663,077). The $800,000 budget amount for Charter Section 186 for FY 1997-98 was first reported to the Council in March 1997, as part of the FY 1996-97 Mid-Year report. This budget amount was also disclosed in the Budget Message for the FY 1997-98 Preliminary Budget. With all FY 1997-98 negotiations completed for Charter Section 186, the total cost is $1,559,000. Of this amount, $1,500,400 is General Fund costs and $58,600 is Police Grant costs. Since the approved General Fund budget only has $800,000 budgeted for Charter Section 186, an additional $700,400 needs to be appropriated by the Mayor and Common Council. The Finance Department has completed closing out the FY 1996-97 books and it is estimated there is an additional $886,400 in the General Fund balance than was estimated during the budget process. Please be advised this additional estimated balance could change pending completion of the City's audit. Based on the above, it is recommended an additional $700,400 be appropriated from the fund balance of the General Fund for Charter Section 186 salary adjustments. It is also recommended that the $800,000 currently budgeted in the General Government Department be transferred to the Police and Fire Departments to cover Charter Section 186 salary adjustments. If the above recommendations are approved, below is a revised estimated ending balance for the General Fund for FY 1997-98: Estimated balance per the final approved Budget: $328,500 Additional estimated balance from FY 1996-97: 886,400 SUBTOTAL $1,214,900 Additional appropriation for Charter Sec 186: (700,400) Revised General Fund balance June 30, 1998: $514,500 II.
