Item 7
Meeting Date 4/2/85
ITEM TITLE: Resolution 1/97K -Appropriating $4,500 from the contingency reserve
to fund promotional/cultural programs under a City/County agreement
SUBMITTED BY: Assistant City Manager 0/ (4/5ths Vote: Yes x No )
An agreement between the City and the County of San Diego was approved by the City Council
on November 20, 1984, and provided for the City to act as a contractor for the County in
providing cultural/promotional programs on behalf of the County, with funding provided out
of County transient occupancy tax revenues. The contract does not provide for advance
funding of the various programs authorized, and therefore requires the City to front the
cost and seek reimbursement at a later date. Funds were not provided for in the 1984-85
budget for this purpose, and therefore an allocation is required to meet these expenditures.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution appropriating $4,500 from the contingency reserve.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N.A.
DISCUSSION
The agreement between the City and the County of San Diego provided for County reimburse-
ment of City expense associated with several authorized promotional/cultural programs
proposed by the City, including hosting the Southern California Sister Cities Conference,
expanded concerts in the park, a cable television program, publication and distribution of
City maps and postcards, etc. In all of the above instances, the City is required to fund
the program costs and subsequently seek reimbursement under the terms and conditions of
the contract with the County. Since funds were not provided in the 1984-85 City budget
for these expenditures, authorization to expend up to $4,500 from the contingency reserve
is requested. If this authorization is given, the maximum amount of $5,000 authorized
under the terms and conditions of the agreement will have been provided. (An authorization
to expend up to $500 was previously approved by the City Council for expenses incurred
by the International Friendship Commission in preparing for the Southern California
Sister Cities Conference. )
FISCAL IMPACT
The appropriated contingency reserve has sufficient funds to advance the money required
to "front" the costs of these various programs with dollar for dollar reimbursement from
the County.
