I. 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 sunnnary
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.
Council/Agency Member Chavez stated that she pulled the item originally scheduled on the
Consent Calendar for clarification of items contained in 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. He also commented that the major reason for departmental overages was
related to how the PERS rate was calculated at the state level; the departments themselves stayed
within budget.
