CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subiect:
Authorize the Director of Finance to amend the Mayor's Office FY 2008/09 Budget and
transfer $25,000 from the Mayor's Office Professional/Contractual account (No. 001-011-
5502) to the Parks, Recreation and Community Services FY 2008/09 Budget Salaries-
Temporary/Part-time account (No. 001-389-5014) for the purpose of augmenting the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Department Swim Program for the 2009 summer season.
Backl!:round:
One of the budget reductions adopted as a part of the Interim City Manager's Budget Strategy
at the February 17, 2009 Council meeting was for the Parks, Recreation, and Community
Services Department to keep all pools (except the Jerry Lewis Swim Center) closed for the
2009 summer season. The cost saving ascribed to this budget reduction was $47,000.
In an attempt to better serve the needs of the City's residents during the summer season, the
Mayor's Office has partnered with the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department
to provide funding in the amount of $25,000 to augment the funding available in support of the
department's swim program.
The funding, which will support pool staffing (approximately eight to ten part-time employees)
and operations, will allow the department to open swimming pools at the Ruben Campos and
Hernandez Community Centers for the summer season.
The $25,000 being transferred from the Mayor's Office was originally programmed for
completing the Packard Foundation funded pre-school initiative project with American Institute
for Research (AIR) as required by the Packard Foundation grant received last year. The
Mayor's Office, however, was recently able to secure the promise of additional grant funding to
complete the pre-school initiative project from two other sources, freeing the $25,000 to be
used for the department's summer swim program.
Financial Imoact:
The Mayor's Office has identified funding in the amount of $25,000 in the Professional/
Contractual Services (account no. 001-011-5502) to assist the Parks Recreation and
Community Services Department in opening two additional swimming pools during the 2009
Summer Season.
Recommended Motion:
That the Director of Finance is authorized to amend the Mayor's Office FY 2008/09 Budget
and transfer $25,000 from the Mayor's Office Professional/Contractual account (No. 001-011-
5502) to the Parks, Recreation and Community Services FY 2008/09 Budget Salaries-
Temporary/Part-time account (No. 001-389-5014). Funds not actually expended by June 30th
will be carried over into FY 09/10 to continue to pay for the lifeguard staff for the remainder of
the 2009 summer.
