As can be seen in the attached exhibits, the proposed General Fund net increase to <br />expenditure and transfers out is primarily driven by a $2.5M transfer out to the self- <br />insurance fund to cover increased claims costs, as was supported by the City Council <br />during the June 13, 2016 Budget Study Session. Additionally, there are increased <br />appropriations related to an increase in consultant services in the Community <br />Development Department, along with increased expenditures in the Fire Department <br />and the leave buyouts paid on employee separations. All of the recommended changes <br />were anticipated in the development of the recommended FY 2016-17 budget, and <br />approving these FY 2015-16 modifications will not require adjustments to the <br />recommended FY 2016-17 budget. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council could elect not to approve any or all of these recommended adjustments. The <br />impacts would vary depending upon the circumstances surrounding each specific item. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The net change in fund balance for each fund is shown in the Analysis Section of this <br />report. Sufficient resources are available within the unassigned fund balance in the <br />respective funds or will be made available through grants or increased revenues that <br />will be received this fiscal year to support these recommended appropriations. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under CEQA as defined in CEQA Guidelines, Section <br />15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or a <br />reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. <br /> <br />TONI SALDOU <br />ACCOUNTANT <br /> <br />STARLA JEROME-ROBINSON <br />INTERIM FINANCE DIRECTOR <br />6.3.E. - Page 2
