TITLE
Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the public hearing and take the actions necessary to adopt the Fiscal Year 2010 budget as listed in Attachment A of the letter. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On July 30, 2009, the City Manager's Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2010 (FY 10) was delivered by the Mayor to the City Council and community with recommended amendments for consideration. Subsequent workshops and hearings were set for August 4, August 11, August 18, August 25, August 31, September 1, and September 8, along with approximately three Budget Oversight Committee (BOC) meetings and 14 community meetings at which the FY 10 Proposed Budget was discussed. We are pleased to report that through the scheduled workshops, hearings, BOC and community meetings, presentations have been made by multiple City departments resulting in 23 separate opportunities for public feedback, deliberation and input.
At the conclusion of the hearings, the City Council will be asked to amend the proposed budget as it deems appropriate, and to adopt the proposed budget as amended. Since the publication of the FY 10 Proposed Budget, updated estimates of revenue and expense, which address technical corrections as well as decisions made by elected offices, are listed by fund and department in Attachments Band C to this letter, respectively.
The Appropriations Ordinance officially adopts the FY 10 budget and authorizes expenditures in conformance with the adopted budget. To become effective October 1, 2009, this Ordinance must include a finding of emergency. Specific resolutions provide for approval of the budgets for the Harbor, Sewer and Water funds; and certain fee adjustments. Requests for approval include the FY 10 Capital Improvement Program;
- the Mayor's Recommendations; and the Budget Oversight Committee's Recommendations to the FY 10 Proposed Budget.
This letter was reviewed by Assistant City Attorney Heather A. Mahood on August 24, 2009....
