6.H. - Page 7 of 15 FY 2018-19 Restoration of Reductions /Appropriation of Funds The FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget included cost reductions of approximately $3.7 million, including reductions of 13.5 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staff positions. As mentioned, Redwood City voters approved a half -cent sales tax increase on November 6, 2108. This increase will provide approximately $8 million annually in increased sales tax revenue to the City, thus providing necessary funding to restore certain previously identified reductions in FY 2018-19, and avoid further reductions in FY 2019-20. Attachment D provides a detailed description of the FY 2018-19 General Fund Budget reductions to be restored, organized by department. The total impact to the General Fund for this restoration is $2.7 million. The City is in the final steps of developing a shared service approach for Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) services, in partnership with the County of San Mateo Office of Emergency Services.
