C:� PAtX� Mayor J arx ATTEST: thony . M ' is City Clerk APPROVED: Christine Dietrick ity Attorney Resolution No. 10497 (2014 Series) Page 3 Exhibit A Recommended one -time uses of the General Fund reserve that exceeds the 20% minimum level: $3.0 million to pay down unfunded liabilities. This could be applied either to the $24 million side -fund liability that exists in the California Public Employees Retirement System (Ca1PERS) safety program or the retrospective deposit balance in the amount of $2.025 million that exists at the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority. Further analysis with regard to the Ca1PERS side -fund amount and options will be brought back to the City Council in April. $1.7 million to backfill for Measure Y revenues in 2014 -15 if needed. As staff indicated in its report to the City Council on January 21" and the Council concurred, one of the options to be considered for preserving services in 2014 -15 in the event that the Measure Y revenue stream does not continue beyond March 2015 would be to use a portion of the existing reserve amount that exceeds the 20% level. $300,000 for street paving and the paving of the Sinsheimer stadium parking lot. o $220,000 for street paving master account construction phase o $80,000 for paving of Sinsheimer stadium parking lot $250,000 to be set aside as a matching grant for future use in acquiring land at 40 Prado Road for the homeless services center as proposed by Community Action Partners of San Luis Obispo County (CAPSLO). This assumes that other agencies, including the county and the newly formed Homeless Foundation of San Luis Obispo County contribute their fair share. The amount of the city's contribution could be reduced depending on the final tally of contributions provided by other cities in the county. Yet this set -aside may be used to achieve this aspect of the Homeless Major City Goal if required. $250,000 to be used to begin the City Hall reconfiguration to provide an elevator for public use and to consolidate two public service counters on the main floor. $100,000 in funding for the development of a Mission Plaza Master Plan. $196,000 to support the second year of Special Projects Temporary Staffing, related to the Development Services supplemental funding request.
