Council Memorandum APR 18 2017
COUNCIL MEETING: 61 " I ' I Lo CITY CL.FRK
YAM NO.: �. ---
April 18, 2017
TO: City Council
FROM: Xenia Bradford, Interim Finance Director
VIA: Katie Lichtig, City Manager
SUBJECT: STRATEGIC BUDGET DIRECT N AND MAJOR CITY GOAL WORK
PROGRAMS FOR THE 2017-19 FINANCIAL PLAN
The following four questions were received regarding the Council Agenda Report.
Below are the responses:
1) Page 177, Code Enforcement: There is a one-time cost of $60,000. What is
the staffing/cost change for not having the Rental Housing Inspection
Program? Is there a reduction, then a one-time add for the current project?
Due to repeal of the Rental Housing Inspection Program, 2017-18 fiscal year
base budget was reduced to zero budget for the program. The amount of
reduction for staffing and non -staffing operating expenditures was $362,000.
One-time funding of approximately $60,000 is then proposed as a Significant
Operating Program Change to support staffing costs for the purpose of managing
the project to engage with the public and develop revised priorities for code
enforcement. This cost represents six months funding for the program which will
be supervised by the Code Enforcement Supervisor. Project activities will include
public engagement, research on programs implemented by other communities,
and fiscal impact analysis to ensure there is a balance between additional
program costs and new revenues to support those costs. As part of this process,
a variety of alternatives for program supervision will be evaluated.
2) Page 203, Parks & Recreation office: Description states a 3 -year spread of
funding, but the table shows everything in 2 years.
The Capital Improvement Project description for the Parks and Recreation
Interior Office Rehabilitation was incorrect. The updated description shows the
project to be funded over the two-year financial plan, with $5,000 for Design in
2017-18 and $111,000 for the remaining phases in 2018-19. Correct funding
amounts were used in the five-year Capital Improvement Program summary.
City of San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Collaborations Page 2
3) Page 277, Broad St. Corridor: The description shows activity starting this year
and going three years, but the cost table does not reflect that. I am hoping the
description is correct.
The Capital Improvement Project description for the Broad Street Corridor
Access Improvements was incorrect. The updated project description shows the
funding to begin in 2018-19 with $25,000 for Study and $45,000 for Design in
2019-20. This funding update will be included in a revised summary table to
Council before tonight's meeting.
4) Page 400, Reallocation of Resources: There seems to be a spreadsheet error
of $75,000
Page 400 displays expenditures associated with the Fiscal Sustainability and Responsibility Major
City Goal. Table named "Reallocation of Resources (Net Zero Fiscal Impact)" shows a re -allocation
of $75,000 from Water and Sewer funds savings toward Utilities Rate Consultant and Internal Staff
support. The bottom line total should be 0 (zero) and the table incorrectly displays $75,000. For
clarification purposes an explanation has been added that the study will be funded with expenditure
savings in 2016-17 fiscal year and the amount is listed for information purposes only to indicate the
cost of the work product that will be completed in 2017-18 fiscal year. The information on page 400
of the packet should be displayed as follows.

To enhance clarity, table on page 175 of the packet has been modified to clearly display reallocated
dollars for all Major City Goals and Other Important Objective. All reallocations are "Net Zero Fiscal
Impact"; however, the table shows the shift of resources from other activities toward program tasks
proposed for the Major City Goals and Other Important Objective.
