CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The allocation of funds for the restocking of Seccombe Lake is necessary to correct the budget in the
Park Extension Fund (241). This item was omitted during the budget process.
Back round
Approximately 18 years ago the Council began appropriating funds from their ward accounts to
provide for the stocking of fish in Seccombe Lake on a regular schedule throughout the year. At
first it was only on special holidays and there were around 6 stockings each year. In order to
expedite the program, the Council authorized an annual expenditure to be designated as a line item
in the Park Extension Budget. This has been one of the most effective and consistently well attended
programs of this department. Based on the price of fish, the department is currently providing 8 to
10 stockings each year. Although funds for this purpose were included as part of the transfer from
General Fund in FY 1998-99, the actual expenditure budget for this line item was inadvertently
omitted from the approved budget. Correction of this omission will result in a $24,000 budget
increase in the Park Extension Fund, which requires Council approval.
Financial Impact
Funds for this budget increase will come from the budgeted transfer from the General Fund, which
was already included in the FY 98-99 budget. There will be no financial impact to the General Fund
with the approval of this budget amendment.
Recommendation
Authorize the Director of Finance to increase the FY 1998-99 Park Extension Fund (241) budget by
$24,000 as outlined above.
