TITLE
Recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2021 first departmental and fund budget appropriation adjustments in accordance with existing City Council policy. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On September 8, 2020, the City Council adopted the Appropriations Ordinance governing the City’s Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY 21). Periodically, changes in revenue or operating conditions require mid-year appropriation adjustments. For example, in certain cases, these adjustments enable departments to expend recently awarded grant revenue for which there is no existing appropriation. In addition, changes for multi-year grants/projects are necessary to bring appropriations in line with final grant/project award amounts. Other instances involve a department spending over the appropriation authority toward a contractual obligation or a City Council initiated project or general operations that require appropriation adjustments to be made. In accordance with the City’s practice, these adjustments are presented periodically throughout the year to the City Council for consideration. See Attachment A for a Summary of Proposed Adjustments of impacted City funds.
This matter was reviewed by Principal Deputy City Attorney Gary J. Anderson on February 18, 2021.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
The following requests for adjustments to FY 21 departmental and fund appropriations are necessary to reflect changes in operating conditions. City Council action is requested on March 9, 2021, to enable the timely processing of budget adjustments.
FISCAL IMPACT
City Prosecutor
1. Increase appropriations in the General Grants Fund Group in the City Prosecutor Department by $35,968, as a technical correction for the City Prosecutor Internship Program, offset by funds available designated for this purpose.
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Prosecutor Department by $29,630 to support the City Prosecutor’s Internship Program, offset by a transfer of funds from the General Grants Fund Group.
Decrease appropriation in the General Grants Fund Group in the City Prosecutor Department by $32,799, as a technical correction.
During FY 19, City Prosecutor staff transferred funds from their FY 18 General Fund savings to the General Grants Fund Group to support the City Prosecutor’s Internship Program. However, the appropriation for this program was never requested in the General Grants Fund Group, and the requested appropriation increase of $35,968 will cover the appropriation needs for this program as well as an operating transfer described below.
As part of the new Munis Financials system (Munis) setup and accounting structure, it was determined that programs like the Internship Program should be budgeted and tracked in the General Fund Group and not in a special grants fund. The requested appropriation increase of $29,630 in the General Fund Group is to provide one-time funding for the Internship Program in the correct fund moving forward. This appropriation increase will be offset by a transfer of funds from the General Grants Fund Group. Through FY 20, the unspent cash balance of the Internship Program is $29,630, which is the amount that will be transferred.
Lastly, an appropriation decrease is requested in the General Grants Fund Group as a technical cleanup for the Promising Adjust Tomorrow’s Hope (PATH) program. During FY 19, a reduction of $32,799 to the PATH program was inadvertently not processed. This reduction of appropriation will align the PATH program to its revenue.
Financial Management
2. Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Financial Management Department by $127,047 as a technical correction.
As part of the FY 21 adopted budget, the City Council approved a motion to structurally restore positions proposed to be contracted out in Parking Citation and Customer Service, Public Works Surveying, and Parking Meter Collection and Maintenance. Of these restored positions, there were 5 Customer Service Representatives in the Financial Management Department Restored. The budget for these positions was inadvertently reduced by $127,047 in the Financial Management Department at the second reading of the Budget Ordinance. A request to increase appropriations in the amount of $127,047 in the General Fund Group in the Financial Management Department is requested as a technical adjustment.
Public Works
3. Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Public Works Department by $815,003 as a technical correction.
As part of the FY 21 adopted budget, the City Council approved a motion to structurally restore positions that were proposed to be contracted out in Parking Citation and Customer Service, Public Works Surveying, and Parking Meter Collection and Maintenance. Of these restored positions, there were 4 Parking Citation and 4 Surveyor positions in the Public Works Department restored. The budget for these positions was inadvertently reduced by $815,003 in the Public Works Department at the second reading of the Budget Ordinance. A request to increase appropriations in the amount of $815,003 in the General Fund Group in the Public Works Department is requested as a technical adjustment.
Civic Center Rent
4. Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Prosecutor Department by $17,541 as a technical correction.
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Civil Service Department by $8,096 as a technical correction.
Increase appropriations in the Successor Agency Operations Fund Group in the Financial Management Department by $7,439 as a technical correction.
Increase appropriations in the Successor Agency Operations Fund Group in the Development Services Department by $14,878 as a technical correction.
Decrease appropriations in the Housing Development Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $25,110 as a technical correction.
Decrease appropriations in the Successor Agency Operations Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $44,634 as a technical correction. As part of the FY 21 adopted budget, there were various errors across funds and departments related to Civic Center Rental Charges. This request includes the technical corrections needed to align the total appropriation for the Civic Center Rental Charges with the Civic Center MOU.
Citywide Activities
5. Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $1,762,572 for Council District Priority Funds, offset by funds set aside for this purpose.
Increase appropriations in the Special Advertising and Promotion Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $161,277 for Council District Priority Funds, offset by funds set aside for this purpose.
This request is to appropriate budget for Council District Priority Funds (also known as Divide-by-Nine funding) in FY 21 coming from the various sources as described below.
Council District Priority Funds are budgeted in the Citywide Activities Department in both the General Fund Group and the Special Advertising and Promotions Fund Group until they are approved for specific allocation by the City Council. Each year an appropriation increase is needed to carryover unallocated funds into the following fiscal year. The remaining unallocated amount at the end of FY 20 was $1,222,697 for the General Fund Group (Table A) and $148,237 for the Special Advertising and Promotion Fund Group (Table B). The tables, organized by Council District, reflect balances as of the end of FY 20 and may not reflect the current balances.
On June 16, 2020, the City Council authorized to fund the District Restart Grants Program to support small businesses damaged by the events of May 31, 2020 in the amount of $100,000 in the General Fund Group in the Economic Development Department. The program was funded by District Priority Funds in the amount of $25,000 each from Council District 1, 4, 6, and 7. The grant program has concluded and there was significant savings compared to the original fiscal scope of the program. The unspent funding remaining totals $60,000 in FY 20 and will be returned to the Council District Priority Funds in the amount of $20,000 to District 4, $17,000 to District 6, and $23,000 to District 7.
On December 13, 2019, Council District Priority Funds from the Special Advertising and Promotions Fund Group were directed to install neighborhood pride banners along Pine Avenue from Third Street to Anaheim Street, Pacific Avenue from Third Street to Anaheim Street, and Third Street from Pacific Avenue to the 710 Freeway. Efforts to complete the banners were made; however, the start of the COVID-19 pandemic slowed efforts. As such, the $13,040 originally appropriated was not expended in FY 20 as originally intended and will be returned to Council District 1.
Lastly, individual City Council District Office budget surpluses are allocated in the following fiscal year to supplement each respective Council Office’s District Priority funding for infrastructure projects and existing City programs. Budget adjustments are necessary to appropriate any FY 20 year-end Council District Office budget savings to supplement FY 21 District Priority funding in the Citywide Activities Department.
The tables below show the breakdown of the Council District Priority Funds to be appropriated in FY 21.

6. Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Legislative Department by $2,382 to offset the Eighth Council District Office’s overage in FY 20.
At the end of FY 20, Council District 8 exceeded its operating budget by $2,382, which per policy and practice will be offset in the following fiscal year’s operating budget. A budget adjustment is requested to reduce Council District 8’s FY 21 budget by the net overage amount of $2,382.
7. Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $3,000,000 to return a portion of past water and sewer utility fund transfers made to the General Fund Group, offset by operating or emergency reserves (or funds available if there is a surplus in FY 21).
The City has entered into a legal settlement that requires a $3,000,000 annual payment by the General Fund Group over four years to refund $12,000,000 in transfers from the water and sewer utilities made in previous years. This is the fourth and final payment.
Furlough Savings
8. Decrease and increase appropriations in relevant departments and funds as shown on Attachment B to implement the City Council-approved one-time savings from employee furloughs.
As part of the FY 21 adopted budget, the City Council approved a one-time budget balancing solution of $11 million in General Fund Group from employee furloughs or other solutions from the employee labor groups. At the time of budget adoption, an estimated savings amount of $11,000,000 was temporarily placed in the Citywide Activities Department. To reallocate the budget savings amounts to departments as appropriate, appropriation decreases are necessary to the various departments and an appropriation increase is needed in the Citywide Activities Department. The net appropriation change for the General Fund Group is zero. Additionally, as most employee groups have agreed to furloughs, there will be savings to other funds in addition to the General Fund Group. These non-General Fund Group funds’ savings were not included in the FY 21 adopted budget. Attachment B shows all budget changes needed in the affected departments and funds. It is not necessary to revise the budgets for the Harbor and Water Departments; therefore, their respective budgets are not being reduced.
Vacancy Factor Savings
9. Decrease and increase appropriations in relevant departments and General Fund Group as shown on Attachment C to implement the City Council-approved vacancy factor.
The FY 21 adopted budget included a total of vacancy factor savings in the General Fund Group of $637,115. At the time of budget adoption, an increased savings amount of $637,115 was temporarily placed in the Citywide Activities Department. To reallocate the budget savings to departments as appropriate, appropriation decreases are necessary in the various departments and an appropriation increase is needed in the Citywide Activities Department. The net appropriation change for the General Fund Group is zero.
Various Employee Memorandum of Understandings (MOU)
10. Increase appropriations by $8,973,296 in the relevant departments and funds as shown on Attachment D to implement the City Council-approved MOUs.
On August 25, 2020, the City Council approved an MOU with the Long Beach Lifeguards Association, Long Beach Management Association (LBMA), Association of Confidential Employees, City Prosecutors Association, and City Attorneys Association. Terms in the LBMA MOU are extended to unrepresented management employees.
On September 8, 2020, the City Council approved an MOU with the Long Beach Engineers Association.
On September 15, 2020, the City Council approved an MOU with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) and the Long Beach Supervisors Employees Association. Terms in the IAM MOU are extended to unrepresented non-management employees.
On November 17, 2020, the City Council approved an MOU with the Service Employees International Union, Local 721.
Due to the timing of these City Council approvals, the increased salaries were not incorporated into the FY 21 adopted budgets of the affected departments and funds. Instead, the salary increases were factored into the calculation of the overall shortfall that needed to be offset with both one-time solutions as well as General Fund reserves. Appropriation increases are requested to correctly budget for the increased labor costs for FY 21 within departments. Attachment D lists the requested department and fund appropriation increases. The total requested net appropriation increase for all funds is $8,973,296 of which $3,910,574 is for the General Fund Group. The net appropriation increases will be funded from the relevant funds’ available fund balances. The Harbor and Water Departments’ increased costs total $2,910,677. As both departments have sufficient appropriation for these increases, they are not included in the requested appropriations request.
11. Increase appropriations by $2,416,452 in the Fire and Police Departments and relevant funds as shown on Attachment E to implement the City Council-approved MOUs.
On September 17, 2019, the City Council approved an MOU with the Long Beach Police Officers Association (POA).
On October 22, 2019, the City Council approved an MOU with the Long Beach Firefighters Association (FFA).
Both the POA and FFA MOUs include one-time payments of $2,000 for each full-time sworn employee. These one-time payments were not incorporated into the Adopted FY 21 budgets of the affected departments and funds. Appropriation increases are requested to correctly align budget for these one-time costs, which have been paid to employees during FY 21. Attachment E lists the requested department and fund appropriation increases. The total requested net appropriation increase for all funds is $2,416,452 of which $2,343,452 is in the General Fund Group. The General Fund Group impact has been incorporated into the funds needing to be set aside in FY 20 as part of the FY 20 year-end analysis.

There was $5,283,189 in unallocated Measure A surplus funds at FY 20 year-end.
