This was $10.5 million, or 10.3% more, than the amount expended <br />and encumbered in FY 2015-16, and $844,000, or 0.7% less, than the final adjusted <br />budget. <br /> <br />Expenditures were less than budgeted due to savings in various programs. The Police <br />Department had the largest budget savings of $975,000, or 2.4% of their total budget. <br /> <br />Expenditures in FY 2016-17 were $10.5 million greater than FY 2015-16 primarily due <br />to programmatic changes. In general, most expenditure accounts increased from the <br />prior fiscal year, except for expenditures related to building regulation and <br />redevelopment, legislative/policy determination, financial services, and legal services. <br />These increases were primarily due to increased building activity in the City and <br />planning related projects, and increased costs related to litigation, development, and <br />insurance claims. CalPERS pension costs also increased during FY 2016-17, and are <br />expected to continue to grow. <br /> <br />A majority of the increases were related to enhanced and additional programs, which <br />were offset by increased program revenues and grants. Employee costs continue to <br />represent the highest single source of expenditures, accounting for 73.7% of all General <br />Fund expenditures in FY 2016-17. <br /> <br />Utility Users’ Tax/Communication Users’ Tax Revenues <br />Pursuant to section 32.621 of the City’s municipal code, the following information must <br />be conveyed to the City Council: <br /> <br />Of the total $9.8 million utility users’ tax revenue, $2.9 million was derived from the <br />communication users’ tax.
