AGENDA TITLE: Presentation on Major Components of Fiscal Year 2010/11 Budget
MEETING DATE: May 5,2010
PREPARED BY: City Manager
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Receive presentation on major components of Fiscal Year 2010/11
Budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Fiscal Year (FY) 2010/11 budget will be balanced with
revenues in excess ofexpenses. The budget has several
components, policy decisions, and a major cornerstone. The major
cornerstone of the FY 2010/11 budget is proposed labor agreements that prevent the necessity of lay-
offs and major service reductions. Currently, management is meeting with all labor groups and
agreements are expected to be reached soon. Until, at a minimum, tentative agreements have been
reached, it is premature to release the FY 2010/11 budget. Again, it is expected that agreements are
forthcoming in the very near future. A total of eight agreements need to be reached.
The budget is on schedule to be ready for public review mid-May in time for adoption in early June.
It is proposed, depending upon the status of the budget, to provide the Council with the basic information
and major variables that make up the FY 2010/11 budget.
For example:
• General Fund Budget will be balanced without the use of reserves;
• Status of unrestricted General Fund reserves;
• Impacts of the Lodi Energy Center on the budget;
• Unintended consequences of cutting costs in the FY 2009/10 budget —the build up of
Compensatory Time Off;
• Impact of increased cost for retirement and health insurance;
• The proportionate distribution of the General Fund revenue among departments;
• Efforts to reduce Police Department costs;
• No proposed changes in funding for arts programs, 0 of July, economic development, and
contributionto organizations;
• Labor costs; and
• Capital projects.
FISCAL IMPACT: The All Funds budget expenditures for FY 2010/11 are $179,630,540. The
General Fund is $41,321,750.
