Source: General Fund & IWM Fund - see attachment I Finance: Council Notes: Agenda Item No. --'8 It-f)-Of CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report Subiect: Budget amendment and personnel motions to implement In-House Graffiti Removal and Property Abatement Services. BackClround: On November 3, 2008, the Mayor and Common Council authorized the transition to a City operated graffiti removal service and City operated board up and property abatement services. This report is the follow-up item that staff indicated would be brought forward with the formal required actions related to budget amendments and personnel motions. (Detailed information about the specifics of this approved program can be found with the November 3rd agenda back-up.) As previously explained, to accomplish these new services, staff will utilize $294,000 in General Fund savings (remaining Los Padrinos contract funding) and $343,000 in funding from the Integrated Waste Management (IWM) Fund for a total of $637,000. The following is a breakdown on how the $637,000 will be used: . Code Enforcement Department will utilize $180,000 for board ups . Public Services will utilize $90,000 for private property abatement services . Public Services will utilize $367,000 for graffiti removal services There will be no net increase to the General Fund if these new programs are funded as described above. The actions to appropriate funding for the City to handle board ups and private property abatements are being recommended because Los Padrinos has told staff that they will be unable to provide these services for the $250,000 that was offered to them. Integrated Waste Management (IWM) funds are recommended to pay for a portion of Right-of-Way services because Right-of-Way collects illegally dumped trash throughout the City daily. Financial Impact: There is no net increase to the General Fund to implement this program. As discussed above, the increased cost to the IWM Fund is estimated to be $343,000. In order to align the budgets of Public Services (both General Fund and IWM) as well as the Code Compliance budget, the budget amendments outlined on Attachment 1 are required. (Please note that for purposes of financial tracking, all of Right of Way functions will now be budgeted in the IWM Fund and the General Fund will now cover its share of Right of Way costs with a transfer to the IWM Fund.) 1 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report-continued Recommendations: 1.)
