The
first
annual
celebration
occurred
in
Santa
Fe
in
1997,
and
the
event
was
immediately
embraced
by
the
American
Library
Association
celebration
has
grown
to
be
known
as
dia
de
los
ninos,
dia
de
los
libros,
or
simply
also
known
as
dia,
and
is
now
itself
observed
in
hundreds
of
libraries
and
schools
across
the
country
on
or
near
april.
The
30th,
in
the
words
of
the
founder
dia,
provides
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
promote
the
power
of
books
and
reading
to
change
lives
for
all
children.
B
Dia
is
a
daily
commitment
to
link
all
children
to
books,
languages
and
cultures.
Our
celebration
featured
greeting
each
family,
providing
a
program
to
adults
and
a
passport
to
literacy
to
each
child.
Each
child
was
encouraged
to
visit
tables
from
each
of
the
schools
and
preschools
and
have
their
passports
stamped.
He
or
she
would
then
present
their
five
stamp
passports
to
the
bookmobile
and
get
a
free
book.
B
We
estimated
that
over
300
books
were
distributed
at
last
year's
celebration.
Also,
we
were
able
to
distribute
parenting
kits
from
san
mateo
county's.
First,
five
Commission
in
various
languages
and
throughout
the
afternoon
families
can
enjoy
multi
cultural
performances
and
gather
on
stage
for
storytelling
from
the
pros.
In
addition
to
the
literacy
and
festive
focus,
the
event
also
warmly
introduces
young
children
and
families
to
their
neighborhood
schools
and
preschools,
and
to
the
community
resources
at
the
risk
of
omitting
key
contributors.
B
We
would
like
to
thank
and
acknowledge
Randy
Schwartz,
Danielle,
Brewer,
Barbara,
Fuchs,
Brooks,
fort
and
John.
Aletta
also
would
like
to
thank
and
acknowledge
mr.
Lita
and
Miss
Brooks
word
from
the
library
for
applying
for
a
grant
from
the
California
State
Library
System
saudia
committee,
to
some
more
support
this
year's
event
and
actually
for
this
year's
event,
we've
already
received
five
hundred
bucks,
so
were
actually
getting
that
optimistic
went
to
go
we'd
like
to
also
extend
a
general
invitation
to
this
year's
event
on
Saturday
May,
eighth,
at
the
rotary
pavilion
between
one
and
four
pm.
B
B
Good
evening
one,
it's
really
really
excited
to
come
to
be
before
you
tonight
numbers
the
community
to
speak
briefly
about
de
los
ninos
de
los
libros.
They
have
a
child,
the
other
books.
This
would
be
our
second
year
introducing
this
program
to
the
committee,
we're
very
very
excited
to
the
celebration,
our
community.
We
have
a
short
PowerPoint
presentation
for
you
about
two
minutes.
B
Long
we'd
like
to
end
our
presentation
with
that,
but
before
we
go
ahead
and
get
that
presentation
rolling
on
for
you,
a
quick
rundown
on
the
California
California
State
Library
System
California
actually
became
an
official
official
da
state
last
year
in
2009.
So
it
was
a
great
thing
that
San
Bruno
came
on
board
in
such
a
great
time.
So
with
that
in
with
the
California
State
becoming
official
d
estate.
B
Now
they
have
a
dia
committee
which
we
are
able
to
receive
grants
and
our
library
was
able
to
turn
a
submit,
a
grant
when
received
three
hundred
fifty
dollars
and
they
have
hired
someone
to
do
a
story
card
theater
presentation
at
two
o'clock
at
the
park
that
afternoon,
and
we
also
received
two
hundred
books
from
that
from
from
that
grant.
So
we
will
get
that
presentation
rolling
for
you
just
a
second.
B
B
B
In
this
concludes
our
presentation
to
the
City
Council
into
the
community,
and
we
invite
City
Council
to
please
attend
our
second
annual
day

the
child
is

book.
The
other
los

los
dedos
celebration

may
eight
from
one
to
four
at
the
rotary
pavilion,
and
we
extend
this
invitation
to
the
vista
community

have
attended
lieutenant

year
and
we
like
for
them
to
return
and

those
who
didn't
get
the
opportunity
of

year.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
A
Look
forward
to
attending
item
number
5
review
of
the
agenda.
I
do
have
one
change,
we
will
be
pulling
item
number
10
E
and
we
will
have
that
presentation
for
10
e
at
the
next
council
meeting
on
maybe
eleventh
approval
of
the
minutes.
Regular
city
council
meeting
of
april
13
2010
changes,
Saros
missions,
seeing
none
proved
as
submitted
consent,
calendar
all
items
are
considered
routine
or
implemented
earlier
council
action
and
may
be
enacted
by
one
motion.
There
will
be
no
separate
discussion
unless
requested
by
accounts,
member
citizen
or
staff.
Your
pleasure
on
the
consent
calendar.
E
A
F
Was
just
for
the
more
of
that
communities
sake?
I
would
just
like
to
know
if
we
could
have
just
a
brief
overview
of
that.
This
is
obviously
it's
coming
up.
I
want
the
citizens
to
be
assured
and
know
the
diligence
the
staff
is
taking
once
again
to
try
to
provide
a
safe
and
happy
fourth
of
july
in
san
bruno,
yet
trying
to
protect,
as
we
put
extra
staff
and
education
in
operation
through
prior
to
the
state.
I.
B
B
They
will
be
required
to
attend
a
meeting
prior
to
the
distribution
of
the
fireworks
and,
although,
although
sales
sites
will
be
inspected
and
so
forth,
and
so
on
and
we'll
also
do
the
public
outreach
with
cable
TV
flyers
at
all
the
schools
and
so
forth,
and
so
on.
So
we
have
to
answer
any
other
questions
now.
F
And
then
follow
up
to
the
city
manager.
Can
you
help
explain
I,
just
think
for
the
the
residents
sake,
there's
a
perceived
notion
that
what
is
charged
at
the
booth
is
something
derived
by
the
city
that
we
Institute
a
tax
or
we
have
we
set
what
that
is
or
what
is
charged
at
the
booth.
Can
you
help
clarify
that
and
the
cost
recovery
that
goes
on
yeah.
G
Absolutely
Thank
You
mr.
vice
mayor
members
of
the
council,
mr.
Medina
is
exactly
correct.
The
city
does
not
participate
in
or
otherwise
sponsor
or
receive
direct
financial
benefit
from
the
sale
of
fireworks
in
san
bruno.
It
is
the
case
that
the
booths
the
booths,
are
operated
by
community
organizations.
It
is
they
use
the
fireworks
sales,
primarily
as
a
major
annual
fundraising
opportunity
for
their
various
community,
organizational
and
charitable
activities.
G
Allowable
use
of
fireworks
in
san
bruno,
which
occurs
on
the
dates
of
July,
4th,
I,
guess
I
believe
actually
immediately
preceding
and
ending
that
evening.
So
there
is
a
short
window
of
time
where
the
fireworks
activity
actually
occurs
in
san
bruno.
For
that
occasion,
both
our
police
and
our
fire
department
staff
up
is
the
chief
indicated,
so
we
do
incur
costs
associated
both
with
informing
the
public
ahead
of
time
about
safe
practices,
as
well
as
monitoring
and
regulating
the
safe
use
of
fireworks
per
the
city's
regulations.
G
F
A
Second,
all
in
favor
aye,
most
so
carried
I've.
Never
a
public
hearings.
Notices
have
been
published,
posted
mailed.
We
don't
have
any
of
this
evening.
Item
number
nine
public
comment
on
items
not
on
the
agenda.
It
is
the
council's
policy
to
matters.
Raisin
is
formed,
a
staff
for
investigation
and
our
action
were
appropriate.
The
Brown
Act
does
prohibit
the
council
from
discussing
or
acting
upon
any
matter,
not
agendized
pursuant
to
state
law.
H
Honorable
mayor
and
members
of
the
City
Council
during
the
first
quarter
of
2010,
the
city
continued
to
actively
reposition
its
investment
for
portfolio.
In
accordance
with
the
revisions
to
the
city's
investment
policy
adopted
november,
two
thousand
eight
at
quarter-end,
the
city
held
the
following
eight
million
dollars
in
direct
obligation
of
the
US
government.
These
securities
are
held
in
trust
at
union
bank
10.5
million
dollars,
with
the
city's
account
at
a
local
agency
investment
fund
administered
by
the
state,
treasurer
and
16.7
million
in
the
county
pool
administered
by
the
San
Mateo
County
Treasurer's
Office.
H
Further
diversification
and
additions
to
the
city's
portfolio
are
currently
being
evaluated
and
it
is
anticipated.
These
purchases
will
be
made
by
month,
end,
which
is,
of
course
by
Friday
April.
We
saw
an
influx
of
approximately
seven
million
dollars
into
our
county
pool
account
and,
as
such,
you,
we
kind
of
you
know
lag
in
balancing
the
portfolio
by
generally
two
to
three
weeks
because
of
influx
by
the
early
part
of
May
that
will
be
taken
into
account
by
way
of
reminding
the
council.
H
The
county
treasurer
asks
us
not
to
withdraw
at
any
one
month
more
than
twenty
percent
of
our
balance.
That
is,
they've
asked
that
that
of
all
its
participants
in
order
to
help
them
better
manage
their
their
cash
flows,
so
that
will
be
accomplished
by
by
the
end
of
next
week,
which
will
be
the
first
week
of
May
we'll
be
able
to
get
improper
balance
in
accordance
with
our
investment
policy
statement.
Now,
with
respect
to
the
San
Mateo
County's
investment
in
lehman
brothers,
or
that,
I
should
say,
the
county
pools
investment
in
lehman
brothers.
H
The
latest
is
as
follows:
during
the
first
quarter,
a
meeting
was
held
with
secretary
Geithner,
along
with
our
congressional
delegation
during
which
it
was
discussed
under
the
current
tarp
legislation.
Does
the
secretary
of
the
Treasury
have
the
authority
to
reimburse
local
agencies
for
their
losses?
It
is
the
opinion
of
the
secretary
that,
in
fact,
they
do
not
have
that
authority
to
do
so.
So,
as
a
result,
attention
is
now
focusing
on
using
the
profits
from
already
repaid
tarp
funds
to
purchase
the
Lehman
bonds
at
par.
Currently,
those
bombs
are
trading
at
around
30
cents.
H
On
the
dollar,
the
idea
is
to
use
the
repaid
tarp
funds
to
purchase
the
bonds.
That
part,
in
other
words,
make
the
various
investment
investors
whole
using
again
re
pay
top
dollars.
In
fact,
today
our
deputy
county
manager,
Mary
McMillan,
was
meeting
in
Washington
to
further
explore
this
idea.
She
was
meeting
with
our
congressional
delegation,
Jackie
Speier,
an
issue
and
others
involved
in
the
House
Financial
Services
Committee.
As
soon
as
the
results
of
those
meetings
are
made
available,
I
will
report
them
as
soon
as
possible
and,
lastly,
it
was
reported.
H
We
were
informed
last
week
that
the
San
Mateo
County
Treasurer's
Office,
announced
an
eight
percent
reduction
in
the
management
fees
charged
to
pool
participants.
This
translates
into
a
drop
of
12
and
a
half
basis
points
to
11
and
a
half
basis
points
saving
the
city,
a
thousand
dollars
for
every
million
dollars,
managed
by
the
pool
as
their
manager,
things
being
reduced
in
two
more
or
less
help.
The
all
the
participants
and
their
accounts
for
us
again
evidence
a
thousand
dollars
for
every
million
dollars
and
managed
by
the
pool.
A
I
I
Transient
occupancy
taxes
have
shown
some
signs
of
improvement,
I'll,
be
it
for
the
entire
year,
it's
still
down
compared
to
a
year
ago,
and,
lastly,
a
very
significant
item
for
the
redevelopment
agency.
There
is
a
potential
grab,
a
1.99
million
dollars
that
may
take
effect
as
on
May
tenth.
This
is
pending
a
court
ruling,
that's
going
to
be
due
on
May.
Fourth,
by
the
way,
if
I
can
step
back.
I
This
item
is
comprehensive
in
reviewing
all
the
funds,
including
the
Redevelopment
Agency,
so
my
oversight
and
not
clearing
by
clarifying
that
up
front
some
other
economic
data.
What
the
slide
shows
is
are
the
unemployment
rates
both
from
a
macro
level
and
a
local
level,
and,
as
we
can
tell
looking
at
the
slide,
unemployment
rates
are
still
very
high
compared
historically
and
even
compared
to
a
year
ago.
I
I
Obviously,
at
about
two
thirds
there's
a
little
bit
of
lag
time
in
terms
of
sales
tax,
but
in
looking
at
again
in
having
the
conversation
with
our
sales
have
sales
tax
consultants
this
morning,
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
positive
sign
and
certain
terms
that
was
flat
compared
to
the
prior,
to
course,
where
sales
taxes
were
actually
showing
declines
compared
to
a
year
ago,
property
taxes,
the
timing
of
the
property
taxes
we
get
the
second
Stallman
in
April.
Therefore,
the
March
numbers
do
not
reflect
that.
I
Second
installment
vlf
is
the
next
category,
like
likewise
the
same
as
property
tax.
We
actually
get
the
second
portion
of
what
is
called
a
vlf
in
lieu
as
part
of
property
tax
payments,
and
therefore
it
looks
like
this
little
distort
there
at
only
the
fifty
percent
level
and
then
the
last
two
categories:
charges
for
services
and
use
of
money.
I
I
In
terms
of
each
one
of
these
categories,
yes,
I
think
it's
comparable
to
compare
them
to
last
year.
So,
yes,
that
very
right
column
right
hand,
column
is
the
same
nine
months
a
year
ago,
so
it
gives
us
a
little
bit
of
a
base
as
it
seeing
where
the
trends
are
a
year
ago
versus
what
we
are
looking
at
for
the
last
nine
months
of
the
current
fiscal
year.
Thank
you.
I
Looking
at
revenues.
At
a
departmental
level,
we
have
the
various
departments,
starting
with
PV
engineering
planning,
building
recreation,
fire
in
library
and
overall
we're
at
seventy
percent.
There
are
a
couple
of
departments
which
are
a
little
bit
below,
but
you
know
overall,
I
think
we're
still
on
track
to
hit
the
targets
by
you're
in
there's
a
little
bit
of
ketchups
a
little
bit
of
seasonality
involved
with
some
of
these
revenues.
I
Some
of
it
is
because
of
the
accruals,
the
timing
of
the
revenues
by
the
time
we
receive
it
in
April
is
actually
for
part
of
March
collections.
If
I
may
so
a
little
bit
of
accruals
that
that
kick
into
place,
that
distorts
these
numbers
a
little
bit
but
again,
comparing
this
current
nine
years,
nine
months
to
last
year,
3.2
million
3.1
million
they're
very
comparable.
I
Now
we
go
to
the
general
fund
expenditures
and
these
are
the
various
departments,
I've
kind
of
ranked
them
in
descending
order
in
terms
of
budgets
and
the
story
line
on
here.
If
I
may
is
that
overall,
the
general
fund
for
the
city
we're
right
at
the
75
percent
mark,
but
it
still
means
that
we
need
to
be
continued
to
be
diligent
in
monitoring
and
controlling
our
expenses
so
that
we
meet
the
budget
targets.
The
mend
a
budget
part
targets
of
the
31
million
and
change
there.
F
I
Yes,
the
non-departmental,
what
those
charges
are.
Typically,
they
get
redistribute
to
the
various
departments.
It's
a
little
bit
distorted
here.
Yes,
it's
ninety
two
thousand
dollars
versus
the
seventy
seven
thousand
dollars
we're
looking
at
about
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
increase
compared
to
the
budget.
You
know
last
year
was
155
thousand
dollars.
I
don't
have
the
actual
big
break
down
of
the
ninety
two
thousand
dollars,
but
it's
certainly
something
I
will
I
will
be
monitoring.
You
know
for
for
the
next
report.
There
thank.
D
I
So,
moving
on
to
non
general
fund
funds,
if
I
may,
the
redevelopment
agency,
we
have
again
the
revenues
are
the
tax
increment
dollars.
Therefore,
the
revenues
associated
with
those
come
as
part
of
the
property
tax
revenues
and
again
they're
due
in
april,
so
therefore
a
little
bit
of
distortion
in
terms
of
where
we
are
actually
for
the
first
nine
months
versus
the
entire
budget.
I
The
low
income
is
a
is
a
requirement
that
we
set
aside
twenty
percent,
so
the
same
rationale
applies
in
terms
of
where
revenues
are,
and
then
we
have
four
major
categories
of
internal
service
funds,
our
self
insurance,
fun
building
and
facilities,
maintenance,
central
garage
and
technology,
as
you
can
tell
across
the
board,
all
of
these
are
exactly
75%.
The
reason
that
is
the
case
is
that
these
are
charges
to
the
various
departments
within
general
fund.
I
So
it's
an
accounting
entry
that
we
do
that
you
know
it
basically
has
a
linear
apportionment
if
I
may
of
those
revenues
and
then
finally,
the
for
enterprise
funds
that
we
have
with
the
city
being
the
cable
TV,
the
wastewater,
Enterprise
Fund,
the
water
and
the
stormwater
Enterprise
funds.
And
again,
you
know,
looking
at
the
rightmost
column
compared
to
the
second
column,
there
they're
pretty
much
comparable
to
last
year's
performance
and
on
the
revenue
side,
we're
actually
outperforming
versus
last
year
and
part
of
it
obviously
is
because
of
the
rate
increase.
I
C
I
Yeah,
it
means
that
there
will
be
less
money
for
redevelopment
to
provide
for
economic
stimulus,
yeah.
It's
it's
I,
think
it's
been
said
publicly
by
many
agencies,
the
states
in
the
state's
quest
for
to
balance
their
budget.
What
they're
doing
is
really
counter
to
what
is
really
needed.
I
think,
from
the
perspective
that
economic
development
redevelop
agencies
stimulate
the
economy.
It's
quite
you
know,
public-private
partnerships
that
help
generate
jobs
and
growth,
but
the
fact
that
they're
taking
monies
from
agencies
released,
then
you
know,
reduces
our
ability
to
do
just
that.
C
I
G
I
could
elaborate
on
that
a
little
bit
it
despite
the
finance
directors
statements
which
are
correct.
This
is
a
serious
issue
for
redevelopment
agencies
up
and
down
the
state
and
including
San
Bruno's.
We
have
the
unique
situation
in
that
the
San
Bruno
redevelopment
agency
is
still
relatively
young.
G
Limit
limits
our
future
capacity,
as
opposed
to
being
an
immediate,
because
we
have
in
fact
generated
tax
increment
above
those
that
are
necessary
for
day-to-day
operations
and
because
we
have
not
yet
undertaken
as
most
more
mature
agencies
have
undertaken
significant
larger
scale
redevelopment
projects,
because
we
have
not
yet
had
the
opportunity
to
do
that.
We
accidentally
end
up
in
the
situation
of
not
compromising
any
of
those
plans
already
in
place.
G
It's
our
future
plans
for
things
like
build-out,
realization
of
the
dream
that
the
transit
corridors
plan
that
vision
that
it
is
developing
and
other
similar
projects.
I
just
want
to
make
one
additional
small
comment,
and
that
is
that,
to
kind
of
to
add
insult
to
injury,
it's
the
state
is
not
withholding
this
from
receipts.
It's
actually
will
be
required
if
the
court
ruling
goes
against
redevelopment,
agencies
will
actually
be
required
to
write
them.
A
check,
which
is
kind
of
adds
a
little
insult
to
injury.
C
I
I
think
the
employment
development
agencies
gather
statistics
both
locally,
obviously
and
regionally.
These
are
numbers
right
off
of
there.
You
know
I,
don't
know
the
specific
methodology
that
they
use.
They
did
employ
in
calculating
that
rate.
For
you
know,
local
agencies
I
it's
my
understanding
that
it's
a
combination,
the
payroll
data
and
that
are
sources
of
data
that
they
get
but
it'sit's
information.
That's
actually
available
at
the
employment
development
website,
they're
in.
I
F
I
know
you
were
saying
on
May.
Fourth,
going
back
to
the
topic
we
want
to
get
off
on
may
four,
that
they'll
be
a
ruling
from
the
court
and
obviously
it's
already
been
ruled
once
that
they
couldn't
take
the
money
and
the
mayor
and
I
went
to
a
meeting
in
foster
city
with
the
Assemblyman
hill
and
somebody
from
the
Budget
Office
but
the
impartial.
Then
they
weren't
counting
on
it,
but
they
weren't
saying
it
wasn't
going
to
happen
tourism,
that's
not
up
to
them.
F
Of
course,
my
concern
is
obviously
if
they
do
lose
and
they
don't
get
take
our
1.9
everybody
else's
and
I
was
talking
to
a
colleague
down
south
and
they
basically
have
to
write
them
more
money
than
what
they
have
in
the
account.
So
it's
unfortunate,
but
if
they
don't
I
wonder
what
the
state
may
have
to
do
to
come
back
to
balance
their
budget.
So
I
know
in
your
report,
you're
very
optimistic
about,
hopefully,
there's
no
more
takeaways
but
based
on
May.
Fourth
to
me
could
be
good
and
bad
and
it'll
be
hard
to
predict.
F
But
I'm.
One
also
wondering
how
you
see
us
with
the
on
june
thirtieth
when
that
day
comes
up
which
will
be
here
before
we
know
it,
how
we're
going
to
look
as
far
as
the
budget
is
concerned.
As
far
as
coming
out
in
a
plus,
even
though
we're
I
know,
we
were
working
on
reductions
and
staffing
components,
but
how
do
you
perceive
a
bearing
on
june
thirtieth
as
far
as
the
overall
budget,
once
it's
done
and
said,
yeah.
I
I
There's
there
again
a
little
bit
of
green
shoots
out
there.
That
indicates
that
you
know
some
improvement.
I
think
the
construction
industry
is
still
very
problematic.
You
know
developing
construction
and
revenues
relating
to
that
planning
and
building
visa
V
is
going
to
be
continued
to
be
challenged
retail
sales
because
San
Bruno
so
heavily
rely
on
retail
sales.
The
fact
that
you
know
there's
been
some
sense
of
improvement.
There
least
leads
me
to
believe
that
you
know.
Maybe
the
worst
is
behind
us.
I
That
will
see
some
positive
stabilization,
I
wouldn't
say
growth,
yet
you
know
for
that
area.
We
also
see,
as
I
indicated
earlier,
some
positive
trends
in
terms
of
T
0
T.
We
have
obviously
you
know
with
the
passage
back
in
November
of
the
increase
of
the
G
ot
tax
by
2
percentage
points.
That's
going
to
help
so
you
know
some
some
positive
signs
which
are
staring
me
to
the
belief
that
we
will
be
able
to
hit
the
amendment
budget
targets.
A
I
Thank
you.
This
item
is
on
a
quarterly
basis.
Staff
typically
summarizes
all
of
the
budget
adjustments
that
were
discussed
during
the
previous
quarter
and
for
the
third
quarter,
the
the
biggest
piece
if
I
may
is
really
the
adjustments
as
it
relates
to
that
I
have
a
spelling
error.
Now,
sorry,
the
deficit
reduction
strategy.
It
doesn't
count
if
you
catch
it.
Thank
you,
but
this
is
really
a
summary
of
the
components
of
that
budget
reduction
strategy.
We
have
a
combination
of
revenue
increases.
I
I
So
so,
over
and
above
that,
besides
the
general
fund
adjustments,
we
also
have
other
appropriations
that
affect
other
funds
and
included.
Are
the
general
fund
reserves
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
the
next
item
there
and
we
have
the
equipment
reserve
fund
and
then
the
Parkland
Luffy's
as
a
related
to
the
tot
lot,
and
the
synthetic
grass
field
for
lions
feel
to
funding
sources
they're.
Both
the
park
in
movies
and
the
parks
and
facility
capital
project
funds
we're
tapped
for
for
funding
there
and
then.
I
C
Of
us
already,
maybe
I
missed
something,
but
there's
there's
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
appropriations
for
Catawba
Laden
lions
field.
Yes,
I
know
we
just
appropriated
last
meeting
two
hundred
thousand,
you
know
for
a
study.
Qatal
paula
was
roughly
50,000.
Wasn't
it
and
I
know
there's
been
improvement,
all
other
improvements,
the
lions
field,
but
I,
don't
think.
Is
it
to
the
tune
of
another
250,000?
C
G
Can
answer
that
question?
The
the
additional
amounts
are
newly
appropriated
by
the
City
Council
within
the
catalpa
was
a
few
months
ago.
The
lions
field
was
was
recently.
These
are.
These
have
only
occurred
during
this
last
quarter.
Amounts
that
were
previously
earmarked
and
have
been
appropriated
for
lions
field
occurred
in
the
previous
budget
cycles.
This
is
a
new
appropriation
know.
C
G
F
B
D
I
I
G
F
C
A
G
I
So
I
want
to
talk
about
the
development
of
the
reserve
policy
back
in
February
at
a
study
session
and
then
at
his
regular
City
Council
meeting
staff
discussed
with
the
city
council
revenue
shortfalls
for
the
for
the
current
year
and
strategies
for
just
addressing
that.
As
part
of
the
conversation,
the
City
Council
requested
that
the
staff
developed
and
recommended
policy
and
the
use
of
both
the
general
fund
reserves
and
also
the
equipment
replacement
reserves.
I
The
general
fund
reserves
really
serves
a
couple
of
purposes.
They
really
fulfilled
primarily
a
working
capital
need,
that
is
to
say,
there's
some
cyclical
elements
in
terms
of
our
revenue
streams
and
having
a
reserve
that
provides
working
capital
o
really
allows
us
to
cover
the
cash
flow
needs.
So,
for
instance,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
property
taxes.
I
We
get
to
primarily
to
payments
of
property
taxes
that
being
in
December
and
April,
and
so
those
revenues
obviously
are
a
very
substantial
piece
of
the
revenue
stream
for
the
city
and
whereas
the
expenditures
for
most
part,
such
as
salaries,
are
fixed
costs
that
are
recurring.
So
the
reserve
fund
provides
for
leave
that
working
capital
need
for
that.
I
It's
especially
important
if
we
were
to
go
out
to
the
bond
market
and
issue
debts,
as
relates
for
instances
of
redevelopment
in
looking
at
the
thought
of
developing
this
reserve
policy,
a
number
of
different
elements
need
to
be
considered,
and
some
of
those
we
point
out
as
part
of
the
attachment.
A
with
dock,
which
talks
about
what
is
the
correct
amount
that
is
appropriate.
I
I
Other
consideration
is
you
know
what
is
the
appropriate
level
of
these
reserve
balances
and
in
looking
at
the
various
elements
there?
As
I
indicated?
One
of
them
is
cash
flow,
the
other
one
is
expenditures,
and
you
know
what
what
part
of
our
expenditures
have
some
degree
of
flexibility
versus
not
and
I
would
submit
that.
I
In
most
cases,
cities
have
pretty
fixed
expenditures,
that
is
to
say
that
most
of
our
costs
are
labor
costs
and
therefore
but
salaries
and
wages
that
we
pay
are
really
an
ongoing
recurring
type
of
expenditures
that
we
incur
the
other
element
that
we
need
to
consider
being
in
the
Bay
Area.
Obviously,
our
potential
for
disasters
there
and
obviously
the
one
that
comes
closest
to
mine,
is
potential
of
a
severe
earthquake.
And
lastly,
we
touched
on
that
earlier
in
terms
of
the
state
take
away
for
redevelopment
agency
funds.
I
I
We
happen
to
pick
annual
expenditures
because
they're
more
constant,
certainly
given,
especially
where
we
are
in
terms
of
what
happened
with
the
recession,
with
a
cyclical
nature
of
revenues
that
those
being
sensitive
to
economic
conditions,
whereas
expenditures
are
more
predictable.
So,
from
our
perspective,
using
expenditures
as
the
base
for
the
calculation
would
be
appropriate
and
from
our
perspective,
staff
is
recommending
that
we
adopt
the
same
recommendation
that
is
given
by
the
GF
Ola,
that
is
to
say
again,
two
months
of
expenditures
as
the
minimum
level
for
the
general
fund
reserve.
I
I
Gizelle,
yes,
the
the
general
fund
reserve
currently
has
a
balance
about
5.5
85
million
dollars.
Mathematically.
If
we
take
the
general
fund
expenditures,
do
the
calculation
it
works
out
to
be
about
five
point:
two
four
six
million,
so
we're
a
little
bit
above
that
minimum.
That's
we're
recommending
about
300,000
and
change
above
that
level
for
a
general
fund
reserve.
I
I
Replacements
of
our
capital
assets
that
being
our
equipment
and
monies
have
been
added
to
the
fund
really
as
part
of
the
general
fund
budgeting
process.
Every
year
we
charged
specific
departments
based
on
the
assets
they
own
into
this
equipment
reserve
what
they
hope
with
the
goal
of
having
those
funds
available
as
the
these
assets
hit
there
in
the
life
cycle
or
potentially,
if
there's
obsolescence,
there's
money's,
there's
they're
available
to
replace
these
funds
and,
over
the
course
of
you,
know
these
years,
in
which
we've
accumulated
these
money.
I
We're
projecting
that
by
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
we're
going
to
have
five
point:
four
million
dollars
as
a
balance
in
the
equipment
replay
replacement
reserve
fund
in
looking
at
what
is
an
appropriate
level
for
this
particular
reserve
fund.
We
looked
at
what
the
value
of
our
assets
are.
What
is
the
cost
of
all
these
equipments
that
we
own
at
the
city
and
look
than
doing
that
analysis?
I
We
identified
that
there's
8.2
million
dollars
of
value
sitting
in
our
books,
if
I'm
a
sitting
in
the
city,
and
we
think
that,
given
where
the
reserve
level
is
and
the
value
of
these
assets,
the
funding
level
is
about
sixty-five
percent.
You
know
mathematically
calculating
that
it
works
out
to
be
sixty-five
percent.
So
we
think
that
a
fifty
percent
level
would
be
sufficient
to
meet
our
needs.
I
What
that
fifty
percent
level
obviously
is
telling
us
is
that
practically
every
two
years
you
know
we
have,
we
were
able
to
replace
these
assets,
I
mean
you
know
if
we
have
assets
of
a
million
dollars
and
we
have
for
our
hypothetical
example,
and
we
have
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Obviously
we
can
replace,
on
average
about
half
of
those
assets
on
any
given
year.
I
So
with
that
thought
in
mind,
staff
is
recommending
that
we
set
a
level
for
the
equipment
replacement
reserve
to
this
fifty
percent
level,
and
we
believe
that
that
has
that
this
is,
you
know
sufficient
to
meet
the
needs.
The
ongoing
needs
of
the
city
in
terms
of
replacing
its
assets
and
so
be
able
to
have
the
funding
necessary
as
working
capital
and
as
a
reserve
to
meet
those
requirements.
I
So
with
that
said,
with
cities
councils
consideration,
if
this
is
that
this
recommendation
is
something
that
city
council
feels
comfortable
with,
then
we
would
incorporate
this
as
part
of
the
budget
document
that
would
be
presented
to
you
in
June,
so
that
this
policy
becomes
really
a
component
of
that
budget.
Adoption
process.

recommend
that
your
policy
allow
only
for
the
maintenance
of
a
minimum
balance,
particularly
in
the
general
fund
reserve,
as
a
finance
director
has
outlined
in,
and
maybe
did
not
absolutely
emphasize,
is
that
the
policy
parameter
would
be
for
the
maintenance
of
a
minimum
balance
at
sixteen
and
two-thirds
percent
of
general
fund
operating
expenditures.
The
amount
that
you
identify
as
a
cushion
$300,000
or
so
is
a
very
minimal
amount
of
above
the
minimum
and
I
would
certainly
not
recommend
that
the
City
Council
consider
simply
utilizing
that
money
just
because
it
exists.
G
You
would
certainly
strive
to
have
a
reserve
balance
that
would
exceed
the
minimum
at
all
times
and
one
which
would
provide
the
necessary
level
of
comfort
for
the
City
Council,
based
as
some
of
the
materials
attached
to
the
staff
report.
Identify
it
really.
Your
assessment
of
what
amount
constitutes
the
necessary
level
of
reserves
at
any
given
time
is
really
as
much
a
level
of
comfort
and
understanding
of
your
own
risk,
tolerance
and
preference,
and
priority
for
this
individual
city.
G
Conversely,
if
the
City
Council
felt
that
it
was
prudent
and
that
expenditures
were
necessary
in
that
amount
above
the
floor,
if
you
will
you
have
that
little
bit
of
cushion
or
opportunity
to
address
one-time
expenditures,
other
operating
contingencies,
and
you
do
have
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
but
I
hope
that
answers
the
question.
Oh
yeah.
A
I
wasn't
going
to
get
into
any
discussion
how
to
spend
excess
money,
but
there's
other
entities
around
it
very
well.
Might
you
know
I
just
want
it
brought
up
because
I,
you
know
think
as
a
minimum
16-point,
something
percent
as
a
minimum
is,
is
a
minimum.
This
risk-taking,
stuff
I
get
very
conservative
with
playing
around
with
that
in
our
environment
now
and
it's
it's
too
dangerous
to
to
keep
small
amounts
of
funds
there,
just
as
a
as
the
balance
and
keep
your
fingers
crossed
at
much
rather
have
a
cushion.
G
If
I
might
I
would
make
some
additional
comments
regarding
the
equipment
reserve
and
as
the
finance
director
has
indicated,
there
is
a
recommendation
for
your
consideration
would
set
the
minimum
balance
in
the
equipment
reserve
and
amount,
which
is
substantially
less
than
the
amount
that
is
currently
identified
as
a
balance
in
the
fund.
As
the
city
council
is
aware,
there
is
approximately
3
million
dollars
of
a
receivable
that
is
comprising
a
portion
of
that
existing
fund
balance.
G
The
comments
regarding
the
general
fund,
notwithstanding
I
would
say
that
the
annual
deposits
into
the
equipment
reserve,
the
expenditure
history
and
the
asset
value
being
protected
by
the
equipment
reserved
for
the
equipment
replacement
fund.
It
does
indicate
that
it
may
be
an
opportunity
to
consider
adjustment
of
the
transfers
in
on
an
annual
or
a
continuing
basis,
or
and
or
as
we've
discussed
in
as
you're
going
to
hear
in
just
a
moment.
Strategic
use
of
that
note,
receivable
to
offset
general
fund
operating
budget
or
other
considerations.
So
again,
those
are
opportunities.
They
are
not
I.
G
C
A
H
A
F
G
F
You
know
going
to
the
general
reserve
when
we
want
to
staff
wants
to
recommend
a
5.2
for
6
or
16
three-fourths.
You
know
the
director
talked
about
a
concern
of
an
earthquake.
I
want
to
talk
about
a
concern
of
a
mudslide
like
what
I
went
down
the
hill
with
the
public
works
director
at
Madison
doesn't
take
much
for
that
to
be
gone
to
me,
this
is
the
emergency.
F
This
is
what
we
have
in
a
savings
account
to
address
disasters
or,
as
staff
will
call
it
the
one
time,
since
we
were
short
in
this
last
budget
cycle,
I'm
going
to
say
it
again.
One
time
here,
one
time
there
to
me
becomes
one
time
at
everywhere.
Okay,
so
I,
don't
know
that
that's
enough.
I
would
really
be
interested
to
see
the
other
cities
within
our
County
that
have
a
policy
I'd
like
to
see
what
their
percentage.
F
What
they're
set
at
I
would
like
to
see
exactly
what's
in
their
reserve
account
and
let's
have
a
comparison.
Let's
go
apples
to
apples
here,
I
like
those
type
of
reports,
rather
than
this
third-party
recommendation.
I
want
to
see
it
firsthand
from
our
neighboring
communities
and
within
this
county.
What
they're
doing
maybe
we'll
find?
This
is
a
great
process,
and
this
is
what
everybody
has
adopted.
F
F
G
Each
year,
the
asset,
the
required
contribution
is
calculated
based
on
the
useful
life
and
the
value
of
the
assets
reserved
I
believe
that
there
was
one
year
in
which,
as
a
budget
strategy,
we
reduced
the
transfer
in
in
consideration
of
the
overall
health
of
the
reserve
fund
and
the
or
the
equipment
replacement
fund,
and
they
limited
or
at
that
point,
no
need
to
further
increase.
The
fund.
However,
it
is,
it
is
continuing
practice
of
the
city
to
charge
each
of
the
departments.
G
F
I
know
we've
also
tried
to
strip
the
string
stretch,
the
length
of
a
vehicle
trying
to
make
sure
we
can
get
the
extra
gear
out
of
it.
The
extra
10,000
20,000
miles,
or
what
have
you
I
just
so
I
understand,
there's
all
accounting
to
everything,
but
you
know
when
you
accrue
less
at
one
time
or
another,
when
we
we
do
the
length
of
the
equipment,
and
we
see
that
out.
I
just
get
concerned
that
you
eventually
things
come
up
to
get
you
in
the
end.
F
You
know
you
only
could
put
something
off
so
long
and
all
of
a
sudden
we
don't
just
need
one.
We
need
several
because
we
have
waited
and
we
try
to
do
our
due
diligence.
I
can
tell
you.
Reserves
is
a
subject
for
myself
that
I
have
a
great
deal
of
concern.
I
have
a
concern
that
we
would
be
looking
at
reserves
in
order
to
balance
a
budget
coming
up
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
how
you
start
out
to
balance
your
budget
into
10
to
11
in
my
world.
F
However,
you
want
to
differentiate
them,
but
using
savings
in
order
to
balance
your
annual
Inc,
your
annual
expenditures
out
of
your
house.
That's
not
the
way
to
plan
a
budget
in
my
mind,
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
the
reality.
What
is
if
this
is
one
of
the
objectives?
I
understand
it's
a
mechanism,
but
I
do
understand
that
this
is
not
to
me
not
the
best
avenue
to
go
down
to
explore
a
million
will
say
from
the
equipment
in
order
to
put
it
to
the
fund,
the
general
fund,
in
order
to
balance
a
budget.
C
C
D
Vincent
share
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
thoughts
that
the
supporting
documentation
that
was
provided
to
us
did
state
that
two
months
is
minimum,
that
the
recommendation
is
it
that
be
the
absolute
minimum
but
I'm
a
little
uncomfortable
with
the
fact
that
we're
recommending
the
minimum,
but
there's
not
a
lot
of
substance
behind
why
the
minimum
would
be
appropriate
in
our
case
and
what
I
was
hoping
to
see
was
maybe
a
little
bit
more
analysis.
In
terms
of
say,
we
experienced
a
disaster
in
area.
What
would
the
city
would
be
responsible
for?
D
I
know
that
there's
insurance
on
some
properties
that
the
city
owns,
but
you
know
what
would
the
city
be
responsible
for
in
terms
of
prepared?
Would
we
incur
large
expenses
in
repairing
streets,
damage
to
to
private
property?
I,
don't
know
what
that
exposure
is,
and
you
know
the
two
months,
if
is
better
than
having
no
guidelines
at
all,
but
I
think
I'd
be
a
lot
more
comfortable
if
we
were
to
have
some
real
numbers.
D
That
say
here
is
a
scenario,
and
here
is
what
we
could
be
on
the
hook
for
also
in
terms
of
possible
lawsuits
that
come
up
that
I
know,
that's
something
else
that
we
would
probably
have.
We
are
budgeting
event,
so
at
least
theoretically
what?
What
could
our
exposure
be
in
a
situation
like
that
versus
just
going
with
it
with
the
minimum.
D
Regarding
the
equipment
reserves,
the
supporting
information
said
said
that
lifespan
of
equipment
is
roughly
five
to
ten
years.
So
looking
at
that
I
mean
if
we
were
to
replace
everything
every
five
years,
twenty
percent
a
year,
I
think
would
get
you
into
that
thing.
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
if
the
fifty
percent
is
high
or
low,
it
almost
seems,
it's
definitely
been
growing.
There
was
enough
there
to
lonesome
out,
so
maybe
that
number
is
high
might
I
guess.
D
First,
a
question
is
what
equipment
is
included
in
that
and
is
there
a
potential
to
add
either
equipment?
That's
not
currently
considered
or
possibly
improvements
to
to
our
equipment
in
plants
that
that
we
could
include
in
that
reserve
that
isn't
currently
included,
and
by
that
I
would
you
know
improvements
to
City
Hall,
maybe
some
upgrades
to
our
parks
that
would
normally
be
budgeted
but
could
possibly
be
accounted
for
and
they're,
not
necessarily
capital
improvement
projects,
but
things
that
might
be
more
maintenance
that
we
could
take
advantage
of
up.
Doing
upgrades
in
that.
D
Don't
know
say,
universe,
I
know,
there's
a
lot.
A
lot
of
our
facilities
are
really
old
and
in
generally
I
mean
when
we
talk
about
it,
fixing
a
one
of
our
one
of
our
buildings.
That's
that's
a
capital
project
but
I'm
wondering
if
there
weren't
some
opportunity
to
incrementally
fix
some
things
in
there
that
that
we
could
account
for
as
I,
don't
know
more
maintenance
rather
than
capital
projects.
If
we
were
to
actually
put
money
aside
to
do
those
things.
D
D
We
would
strongly
recommend
not
doing
this,
but
I
don't
know
if
we
would
want
to
do
something
a
little
bit
more
firm,
that
you
know
that
that
it
won't
happen
unless
certain
conditions
are
met,
and
then
the
conditions
that
were
also
outlined
in
the
policy
seemed
a
little
bit
too
general,
maybe
a
little
vague.
So
we
could
maybe
put
a
little
bit
more
language
around
what
conditions
would
have
to
be
met
in
order
for
that
to,
in
order
for
the
reserves
to
be
used,
I
think
that
might
also
be
useful.
A
I
No
that's
at
the
cost
the
purchase
cost.
So,
yes,
your
point
is
well
taken.
The
replacement
cost
may
be
different
than
the
may
be
credited
cost
yes,
so
that,
therefore,
the
fifty
percent
is
really
the
cushion
that
were
kind
of
building
building
into
the
reserve
policy
to
provide
for
the
fact
that
there's
going
to
be
some
inflationary
component
of
replacing
these
assets.
Ok.
F
A
Geographical
nature,
those
kinds
of
things
as
I
was
on
his
counsel
when
we
ended
up
spending
millions
on
slides
and
buying
homes
and
relocating
people,
because
we
weren't
covered
and
we
had
to
spend
a
ton
of
money
and
it
just
goes
out
the
door
in
a
second.
So
I
just
think
a
two
month
of
you
know:
reserve
policy
at
a
minimum.
Is
it's
just
not
enough?
Yeah.
F
Finally,
I'm
just
going
to
say
I
I'm
one
who
would
wish
and
think
that
we
should
be
more
frugal
and
put
I
would
love
to
see
us
at
the
end
of
a
budget.
Time
say
you
know
what
we
not
only
just
balanced.
We
came
out
in
the
black
because
maybe
we
we
said
the
revenues
were
going
to
be
here,
but
they
became
here.
That's
a
good
thing,
but
I
don't
want
us
to
rely
on
reserves
as
a
way
to
balance
the
budget.
F
F
That's
not
the
way
in
my
world
to
prepare
a
budget.
Let's
talk
the
reality
of
what
we
have,
what
expenditures
we
have,
if
we're
short,
were
short
and
let's
say
how
much,
but
that's
the
way
I'd
like
to
see
us
go
out
of
budget
and
I'm
just
concerned
that
this
tool
or
policy
could
be
utilized
by
others
to
show
that,
based
on
your
own
policy,
you
have
extra
reserves,
so
put
those
toward
that
and
again
you
keep
doing
that
and
keep
doing
that,
and
there
will
come
a
time.
F
G
Me
suggest
that
what
we
heard
and
what
you
would
like
us
to
come
back
with
and
I
guess
what
I
would
reiterate
is
we
weren't
asking
for
any
type
of
action
tonight?
Our
approach
would
be
to
return
to
the
City
Council,
with
a
draft
policy
for
your
final
review
and
approval
in
conjunction
with
the
budget
presentation
process.
So
we
have
some
time
in
between
to
check
back
in
with
you
and
what
I
heard
you
say
that
you'd
like
to
see
as
additional
information.
G
First
is
what
other
cities
in
the
county
in
san
mateo
county
have
reserved
policies
and
if
so,
what
do
those
policies?
What
are
those
policies?
Secondly,
related
to
comparison
with
other
cities
in
the
county,
you're
interested
in
their
reserve
balances,
and
we
have
some
of
that
information.
We
will
certainly
update
that
and
present
that
to
you.
G
You
also
asked
for
some,
I'm
going
to
say
some
examples,
or
some
assessment
of
the
types
of
particularly
disaster
related
risk
that
the
city
might
be
exposed
to.
I
would
suggest
that
we
can
I
give
you
some
examples:
scenarios,
one
perhaps
from
our
own
experience
of
the
slide
losses
that
turned
out
not
to
be
covered
by
insurance
or
FEMA
as
we
had
anticipated.
So
we
perhaps
we
can
develop
some
generic
types
of
examples.
I
think
the
range
of
those
examples
might
actually
be
unlimited,
but
we
can.
G
We
can
certainly
bring
you
back
some
information
on
that.
Next,
you
asked
for
information,
a
list
of
the
assets
that
are
reserved
in
the
equipment
reserved
in
the
equipment,
replacement
fund
and
consideration,
and
I
would
suggest
some
information
about
what
would
be
involved
in
including
additional
capital
items
as
an
example
in
the
reserve
or
the
replacement
program.
G
So
those
are
the
things
that
I
heard
that
you
wanted
back
as
specific
information.
My
suggestion
is
that
we
bring
that
back
to
you
end
of
May
time
period
in
order
that
you
have
that
information
and
can
engage
in
additional
discussion
prior
to
consideration
of
a
policy
and
will
be
prepared
to
discuss
that
with
you
again
do.
A
Also
regarding
the
budget
is
coming
up
and
what
we
have
done
in
past
sessions
is
set
some
dates,
so
you
can
have
some
study
sessions
prior
to
voting
on
the
budget.
So
I'd
like
to
suggest
what
we've
done
before
is
three
dates
usually
gets
done
in
two
and
the
third
is
kind
of
a
backup,
so
I
have
a
suggestion
of
June,
first
second
and
third
or
the
7th,
9th
and
10th.
Maybe
you
could
look
on
your
calendars
and
see
if
that
would
work
for
you,
I'm.
C
G
G
G
This
part
of
the
presentation
gives
you
an
update
on
the
budget
development
process.
As
the
City
Council
will
recall,
we've
already
discussed
the
preparation
of
the
1011
budget
on
a
couple
of
dubious
occasions
with
City
Council,
most
notably
at
your
fibrillary
10th
in
February
26
meetings.
We
advised
you
of
the
mid-year
financial
status.
We
discussed
with
you
strategies
to
address
the
current
year
budget
and
we
gave
you
projections
for
the
revenue
situation
as
we
then
anticipated
it
going
into
10
11.
G
Status
of
the
current
year's
budget
required
an
adjustment
of
1.3
million
dollars
in
order
that
we
could
reasonably
project
that
we
would
end
the
current
year
with
a
balanced
budget.
As
a
finance
director
reported
to
you
tonight,
based
on
the
third
quarter
results
and
the
amendments
that
the
city
council
has
now
made
to
the
current
year's
budget.
We
do
anticipate
ending
the
current
910
fiscal
year
in
balance,
as
it
relates
to
the
amended
budget
and
based
on
the
previously
adopted
budget
deficit,
elimination
strategies
approved
by
the
City
Council.
G
I'm.
Also
pleased
relatively
pleased
to
report
to
you
tonight
that
our
projections
presented
to
you
in
the
previous
meetings
in
February
remain
on
track
in
terms
of
our
anticipated
revenue
situation
for
fiscal
year.
10
11
I
will
remind
the
city
council
that
that
was
actually
not
the
case,
as
we
worked
last
year
at
this
time
to
prepare
the
current
year's
budget
and,
in
fact,
having
had
a
very
similar
situation
of
startling
midterm
results
requiring
adjustment
mid-year.
G
Last
year,
we
projected
a
revenue
situation
going
into
fiscal
year,
9
10
that
then
again
needed
to
be
adjusted
downward
in
April
of
2009.
As
we
moved
closer
and
closer
towards
presentation
of
a
preliminary
budget
for
your
consideration
again,
I'm
relatively
pleased
compared
to
a
situation
that
might
have
existed
to
report
to
you
tonight
that
we
have
not
during
the
ensuing
time
period
as
we've
progressed
on
developing
the
budget
for
ten
eleven,
we
have
not
identified
a
similar
situation.
G
G
G
Most
particularly
as
the
council
is
aware,
we
have
contractual
obligations
related
to
personnel
costs,
in
particular
the
pers
rate,
which
is
going
up
by
a
modest
amount
this
year,
but
also
contractual
obligations
to
merit
related
increases
for
personnel.
As
the
council
is
aware,
no
other
across-the-board
salary
increases
were
provided
this
year
and
our
assumption
remains
the
same
as
we
have
projected
expenditures
for
the
next
year's
budget.
G
We
are
anticipating
continuation
of
all
existing
personnel
expenditure,
containment
and
reduction
strategies
that
were
incorporated
into
the
current
year
budget,
most
particularly
the
continuation
of
a
furlough
currently
at
the
level
of
six
days,
annual
or
representing
a
2.3
percent
reduction
in
salary
or
personnel
the.
In
addition,
our
budget
is
built
around
an
assumption
of
no
increase
in
the
premium
costs
for
medical
and
we've
showed
you.
The
amounts
of
the
costs
associated.
G
So
that
remains
a
issue
somewhat
unknown,
but
I
think
we've
been
very
clear
both
with
our
labor
representatives
and
as
well
as
with
our
employee
base,
generally,
that
the
budget
assumptions
and
the
ability
to
balance
the
budget
and
maintain
a
reasonable
level
of
service
relies
absolutely
on
these
cost
containment
strategies
continuing
next
the
budget.
An
additional
item
that
has
been
built
into
the
budget
is
continuation
of
a
scrutiny
to
all
line
items
and,
in
fact,
a
reduction
of
approximately
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
line
item
expenditures
as
compared
to
the
current
year
budget.
G
G
I'm
sorry
that
I've
gotten
the
slides
just
a
little
bit
out
of
order,
so
I
beg
your
indulgence
and
are
jumping
around
just
a
little
bit.
In
summary,
the
physical
situation
impacting
or
defining
next
year's
budget,
as
it
is
currently
situated,
continues
as
I
indicated
to
before
the
same
basic
parameters
of
the
amount
of
the
deficit
and
I'm,
going
to
repeat
in
some
aspects,
information
that
you've
heard
before
about
the
strategies
that
we
are
anticipating
being
utilized
in
balancing
the
budget.
G
First,
as
you
see,
there
is
an
approximate
two
million
dollar
deficit.
If
you
will,
that
amount
is
comparable
to
the
situation
in
the
current
year,
as
I
mentioned
before,
in
that
there
were
one
time
resources
used
to
balance
the
current
year
budget
straight
from
the
get-go,
and
there
was
an
additional
1.3
million
dollars
of
changes
that
occurred.
Mid-Year.
Those
two
amounts
add
to
a
total
of
two
million
dollars
and
that
two
million
dollar
deficit
number
continues
to
next
year.
G
G
When
we
last
discussed
the
budget
preparation
with
the
City
Council
in
March,
our
specific
agenda
item
was
to
brief.
You
on
preliminary
personnel
reductions
that
would
be
incorporated
in
the
budget,
and
my
primary
trips
tonight
is
just
to
revisit
those
with
you
and
to
again
refresh
your
memory
regarding
the
anticipated
service
impacts,
which
are
on
the
next
couple
of
slides
and
we'll
review.
Those
very
briefly.
The
total
amount
of
savings
from
the
permanent
elimination
of
a
seven
and
a
half
positions
is
763
thousand
dollars.
G
G
Three
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
of
shortfall
in
addition
to
that
they
provided
you
a
summary
of
the
net
effect
of
a
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
Redevelopment
Agency
loan
repayment
and
the
resulting
impact
to
the
city's
equipment
replacement
fund.
As
you
can
see
the
and
as
we've
just
discussed
with
you
in
a
moment
ago,
the
total
note
receivable
in
cash
balance,
leave
a
total
equipment
reserve
fund
balance
of
just
over
five
point:
eight
million
dollars.
G
G
As
I
indicated,
personnel
reductions
are
the
necessary
result
of
our
meeting.
Your
specific
direction
to
deliver
a
balanced
budget
personnel
is
the
city
council
as
well
aware,
represents
approximately
seventy
percent
of
our
general
fund
operating
budget
expenditures
and
I
wanted
to
summarize,
for
you
primarily
in
order
to
gain
any
direction
or
comment
that
the
City
Council
might
have
summarized
for
you,
the
areas
and
the
impact,
if
you
will
of
the
additional
personnel
reductions
that
will
need
to
be
made
in
fiscal
year.
G
Ten
eleven,
as
if
council
is
aware,
we
currently
employ
167
and
a
half
approximately
168
employees
that
are
funded,
at
least
in
part
through
the
general
fund.
That
includes
our
elected
officials
themselves,
as
well
as
the
elected
treasurer
and
city
clerk
of
those
positions,
roughly
20
full-time
equivalents,
and
these
are
pieces
of
many
different
positions,
but
full-time
equivalent
of
20
positions
are
funded
by
allocations
from
the
enterprise
funds
for
and
those
positions
are
primarily
in
our
general
administrative
areas
of
the
city.
Our
finance
city
manager,
city
attorney,
HR
operations,.
G
That
represents
a
revenue
into
the
general
fund
to
support
roughly
full-time
to
20
full-time
equivalent
positions
during
our
previous
discussions
to
City
Council's
expressed
an
interest
in
a
priority
for
the
maintenance
of
front-line
Public
Safety
response
and
prevention
activities,
taking
only
the
first
line
frontline
responders,
and
this
is
primarily
limited
to
our
sworn
safety
staff
in
both
the
fire
in
the
police
departments.
At
eighty
four
and
a
half
positions
netting
out
those
the
those
that
are
the
what
what
is
funded
by
allocations
from
the
enterprise
funds
and
frontline
sworn
safety
positions.
G
We
end
up
with
63
general
fund
positions
over
which
at
least
the
majority,
if
not
virtually
all
of
the
position
eliminations
will
occur.
As
council
is
aware,
that
includes
the
the
broad
range
of
services
from
parks,
maintenance,
Recreation,
Services,
community
development
services
as
well
as,
of
course,
our
safety
operations.
G
63
positions
now
have
will
be
eliminated
will
be
reducing
by
seven
and
a
half
positions
and
I'm
anticipating
in
order
to
meet
the
revenue
shortfall
and
in
order
to
balance
the
budget
I'm,
anticipating
an
additional
three
to
four
positions
will
need
to
be
eliminated.
Those
positions
because
I've
exhausted
my
opportunity
to
utilize
vacant
positions
or
a
reorganization.
G
It
will
be
necessary
at
this
point
to
move
to
lay
off
of
approximately
three
to
four
positions:
for
a
total
elimination
of
10
to
11
positions
in
effecting
fiscal
year.
Ten
eleven
to
be
implemented
within
the
next
two
months
and
available,
then
to
give
the
full
opportunity
to
for
those
costs
to
be
reduced
out
of
the
budget
and
to
be
allow
us
to
present
you
a
balanced
budget
for
your
approval
prior
to
june
thirtieth.
A
E
The
early
game
parks,
recreation
staff,
as
approached
the
city
of
san
bruno
staff,
with
requests
to
share
our
aquatics
recreation
supervisor,
Jenny
Tucker
from
approximately
May
first
until
the
middle
of
August,
the
city
of
burlingame
plans
to
contract
out
there,
aquatics
programs
with
the
Burlingame
aquatics
club.
However,
it
will
take
the
club
a
few
months
to
get
ready
to
take
over
that
operation,
so
they're
asking
us
essentially
to
step
in
as
a
bridge
and
to
share
the
services
of
our
aquatics
professional.
E
During
this
time,
Jenny
would
be
splitting
her
duties
evenly
between
the
two
cities
in
burlingame.
She
would
be
working
for.
She
would
be
working
exclusively
on
aquatics
programs
in
san
bruno.
She
would
be
working
on
the
aquatic
programs,
the
summer
programs,
as
well
as
some
of
her
other
normally
assigned
duties.
E
The
city
of
burlingame
would
be
paying
the
city
of
san
bruno
approximately
ten
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
As
of
yet,
we
do
not
have
specific
dates,
which
is
why
there's
a
little
bit
of
ambiguity
over
the
exact
dollar
figures,
but
once
we
figured
out
there
will
be
pain
or
for
one
half
of
the
fully-loaded
cost
of
Jenny's
salary
and
benefits
to
the
city
of
San
Bruno.
Besides
the
revenue
coming
into
the
city,
we
think
there
are
a
few
other
benefits.
E
One
is
the
benefit
to
Jenny's
professional
development.
This
will
give
Jenny
the
opportunity,
similar
to
what
we
have
done
in
previous
years
through
the
management
talent
exchange
program,
where
people
from
one
agency
get
to
try
a
different
position.
Another
agency
jenny
has
the
opportunity
to
learn
another
operational
method
and
she
would
also
be
in
charge
of
a
couple
of
program
coordinators.
F
E
F
A
chair
just
one
question,
I
understand
that
it's
approximate
amount
because
you're
not
sure
the
dates
yet
from
burlingame,
but
you
say
there
may
be
an
additional
thousand
of
2004
kotik
costs
for
other
staff
to
assist
in
during
the
supervisors
absence.
Why
cannot
set
it
since
we're
not
one
hundred
percent
certain,
because
we
don't
have
a
late
at
the
time?
How
come
those
duties
or
responsibilities
can't
be
done
by
the
current
mid
management
staff?
That's
already
at
the
recreation
facility
summer.
E
E
So
some
of
those
things
will
get
shifted
over,
but
some
of
the
on
pool
supervision
management
type
things
when
we
want
to
have
more
eyes
just
looking
it
over
the
pool,
that's
when
it
happened,
but
looking
over
the
operation
to
make
sure
that
the
schedules
are
in
place
that
the
parents
are
notified,
that
the
report
cards
for
the
students
and
those
programs
are
made
up.
Those
are
the
types
of
things
we
heard
you
we.
D
A
C
Of
a
segue
for
many
years,
the
the
Redwood
City
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
San
Mateo
County
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
supported
by
many
Chamber
of
Commerce's
in
San
Mateo
County
have
a
the
progress
seminar
or
a
retreat
in
Monterey,
and
it's
a
full
day.
It
was
a
full
Saturday
of
various
sessions
that
happen
to
be
important
or
of
major
interest
in
the
county
to
over
200
attendees
from
elected
officials
and
numerous
agencies
to
nonprofits
and
to
actual
large
corporations.
C
Our
very
own
city
manager
was
on
the
panel
and
the
shared
services,
and
it
was
a
well
attended,
probably
the
most
popular
topic
and,
interestingly
enough,
even
though
our
our
experience
is
well
known
in
the
county,
there
were
also
a
lot
of
discussions
about
shared
services
within
the
community,
with
the
school
districts
and
not
just
sharing
of
or
combining
not
necessarily
merging
agencies,
but
sharing
just
like
what
we.
What
we
just
experienced
here
with
with
Burlingame.
C
But
let
me
just
say
that
social
media
is
is,
is
exploding
and
that
topic
when
we
talk
about
Facebook
and
Twitter.
That
is
the
trend,
and
and
it's
it's
interesting-
how
a
year,
what
a
year
makes
that
everyone's
sitting
in
a
large
room
and
they're
all
on
their
blackberries
so
I'm
behind
on
the
times
than
that.
But
I
think
the
probably
the
most
promise
in
there
was
the
subject
on
banking,
and
I
thought
I
might
fall
asleep
through
that.
But
banking.
The
banker
said
that
there
is
a
definite
positive
trend
happening.
C
Is
that
there
is
money
whilst
fargo.
Now
the
largest
banking
institution
says
that
there
they
are
doing
loans
and
they
are,
they
still
try
to
call
themselves
a
community
bank
and
things
are
having
their.
There
is
a
little
friction
as
far
as
with
the
regulators
and
allowing
allowing
loans
to
go
through,
but
I
think
those
who
get
worked
out
but
I
think
for
the
most
part
they
had
a
lot
of
good
news
so
and
it
was
very
productive
session.
C
G
Manager,
if
I
could
just
add
for
a
moment
primarily
for
the
purpose
of
the
record
to
City
Council
members
attended
this
event.
Council,
member
vera
and
councilmember
O'connell
the
report
that
the
council
member
just
provided
it
serves
to
represent
the

those
council
members.
That's
required
by
law.
Thank.
A
You
thank

I
think
that's
it.
I
did
neglect
to
mention
that
Councilwoman
O'connell
was
not

So
she's
