CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund in fiscal year 2010-11 as there are sufficient grant funds available to offset the cost ofthe adding a Chief Service Officer position to the City Council Department. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The projected cost for this position over the two-year grant period totals $227,000. The Cities of Service grant will offset $200,000 of the cost of this position. The Mayor's Office has identified additional funding sources to mitigate the impact of$27,000. These additional revenues will offset the cost of the position in fiscal year 2011-12 and fiscal year 2012-13. There is no fiscal impact anticipated to the General Fund for the two-year grant period. In order to avoid an ongoing impact to the General Fund, this position will be eliminated at the end ofthe grant period unless a new non-General Fund funding source is identified. .
