CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2005/2006 BUDGET BY TRANSFERRING AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BUDGET TRANSFER POLICY (Continued from October 10, 2006) The Council policy on financial reporting and transfer authority indicates that all departments complete the fiscal year with a positive balance in each budget summary category. In order to comply with the intent of this policy, transfers and appropriations are recommended for approval. All recommended general fund transfers can be done using existing appropriations. (Finance Director) Finance Director Kachadoorian provided the staff report.

She thanked staff for providing additional details and asked that future reports be listed as Action Items on the agenda. ACTION ITEM (continued) Council/Agency Member Castaneda requested a workshop on how departments will deal with the changing economy and building cycle, since costs cannot be covered exclusively from developer and permit fees and will need to be absorbed without major hits to the general fund. He stated that departments may need to be restructured, new revenues generated, and resources and services redirected. Council/Agency Member Chavez commented on the need for prioritization. Interim City Manager/Executive Director Thomson advised that staff was working on budget contingency plans, and he mentioned differences in staffing procedures between the Fire and Police Departments.
