The budget for the Successor Agency is included in the Recommended Budget <br />document in the Community Development section on page 25, and in the City Debt <br />section on page 5. The Recommended Budget provides the necessary resources to <br />finance the Successor Agency’s obligations of $6.6 million that will come due in FY <br />2017-18. <br /> <br />Additionally, on May 8, 2017, the City Council held a study session on the proposed <br />Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Five-Year CIP incorporates the <br />proposed budget for FY 2017-18, which is also included in the City’s FY 2017-18 <br />Recommended Budget, as well as potential projects for period of FY 2018-19 through <br />FY 2021-22. <br /> <br />Copies of the Recommended Budget and Five-Year CIP are on file with the City Clerk <br />for public review and are also available on the City’s website at: <br />http://www.redwoodcity.org/departments/administrative-services/finance/financial- <br />information-reports. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <br />The FY 2017-18 Recommended Budget for all funds totals $267.2 million in revenues <br />and $267.0 million in expenditures. The General Fund portion of the budget is $131.6 <br />million. In prioritizing the long-term fiscal sustainability of the City, the Recommended <br />Budget has been developed using limited, primarily one-time increases to departments, <br />and maintains a General Fund reserve of 15 percent. <br /> <br />The FY 2017-18 Recommended Budget includes the following: <br />· Full funding for each department based upon currently anticipated services and <br />actual expenses over the last few years. <br /> <br />· Reclassification of 7.9 FTEs from the Capital Improvement Fund to the General <br />Fund and other funds in order to more accurately reflect the work that is <br />performed on capital projects rather than on operational programs. In an effort to <br />ensure that UUT funds were dedicated to capital/infrastructure needs, all <br />positions budgeted to the CIP were reviewed. This reclassification will result in <br />employee cost savings of $1.5 million within the Capital Improvement Fund. In <br />order to offset cost reductions in the Capital Improvement Fund, there will be an <br />expenditure increase of $1.3 million to the General Fund and $0.2 million to other <br />funds. <br /> <br />· One-time expenditures for: a pilot Park Ranger Program at Stulsaft Park <br />($60,000); firefighter Spanish-language training program ($19,000) and contract <br />staff to assist with Fire Department projects ($96,000); funding for Community <br />Development interns ($18,700); and library materials ($59,000). <br /> <br />7.B. - Page 2
