FROM: DIRECTOR OF OMB
DATE: OCTOBER 6, 1999
FISCAL YEAR 1998-99 YEAR END BUDGET REPORT
RECOMv1MATION:
That the City Council approve the proposed Budget Amendment for the 199&1999 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND:
The budget for FY 98-99,which closed on June 30, 1999,had a significant expenditure overrun
in the area of public safety. Part ofthe reason for that was that the FY 98-99 budget was
prepared following the 1997 dection,which had featured the renewal of the Utility Users Tax
(UUT)on the ballot. As an effort to begin to wean the City from the UUl', the City Council
requested that 0.5%be cart from the UUP rate, which cost the City$400,000 in annual revenue.
Department budgets were reduced to offset the lost revenue. As a result,many departments and
accounts have still not returned to their pre-1997 levels. Police overtime was such an account: it
was reduced from$470,000 to UM,000 in the FY 99-99 budget,in an attempt to bring the cost
down.
However,the expend'iwre for police overtime in FY 98-99 was$780,000,which necessitated
reducing other departments' actual continuing appropriations to minimize the used to appropriate
additional funds for the FY 98-99 budget. In order to close the books on the fiscal year,it is
necessary to have Council authorize an appropriation in the amount of$33,500 to bring the
budget into balance While expenditures were over budget,as indicated,it should be noted that
Revenues exceeded estimates by over$635,000;therefore,the above appropriation is not coming
from"base"fund balance but rather FY 98-99 revenues that exceeded budget estimates.
The Office of Management&Budget will provide additional detail on revenues and expenditures
to the-City Council at the October 27 1999 Y Quarter budget workshop.
