to exceed current revenues. However, Jermanis further noted that Council has been discussing <br />various community projects and the potential of expanding police staffing, and that it may be <br />necessary to use reserves to balance the 2008-09 budget. Jermanis stated that we can not <br />continue spending as we are without drawing on reserves and indicated he would like to see the <br />City try and minimize the deficit during the 2008-09 budget process. <br />Mayor Santos stated that he would like to draw on reserves for the $4.1 million shortfall in 2007- <br />08, then to carefully monitor fiscal year 2008-09 and make any necessary reductions in fiscal <br />year 2009-10. The Committee discussed the issue further and there was no consensus to <br />recommend such a course of action to the full City Council In general, the Committee agreed <br />with using reserves in 2007-08 to meet the revenue shortfall. Staff is currently in the process of <br />developing the 2008-09 budget which will be bxought forward to Council in the upcoming <br />months. <br />2. Discussion Regarding FY 2007-08 Recommended Mid-Year Budget Adjustments <br />Carter provided a summary of the recommended revenue and expenditure changes for several <br />funds for the 2007-08 budget. Sr. Accountant Galvin stated that all budget adjustments are <br />included in the Mid-Year Performance report previously discussed. Galvin was able to explain <br />each summary in detail and answered questions the Committee had. Vice Mayor Grant asked <br />that if the Finance Committee did not recommend any changes to the report would the <br />adjustments be done as indicated; Jermanis said it would. Mayor Santos asked how many, if <br />any, foreclosures does the City's First Time Home Buyer program have. Vice Mayor Grant <br />stated that she had spoken with Tom Liao, Housing CDBG Manager, and he indicated that there <br />are no foreclosures. Mayor Santos stated that we must monitor the foreclosures. <br />Committee Recommendation <br />The Committee was in agreement that the Mid-Year Budget adjustments, as reported to the <br />Committee, should be forwarded to the City Council for review and adoption. <br />3. Discussion Regarding Police Department Staffing <br />Assistant City Manager Hollister provided an overview of the additional costs of adding <br />personnel to the police department. The cost of approximately $1 million is based on hiring <br />police officers and staff at the top salary step. Police Chief Attarian expressed his desire to hire <br />7 new staff members at the following salary cost: <br />4 Police Officers $168,861 x 4 = $675,861; and <br />2 Police Service Aides $86,363 x 2 = $172,726; and <br />1 Public Dispatcher $110,853 <br />Including family medical plans with the salary cost at top step employees, the cost will be <br />$959,022. Attarian also indicated that police employees average 10% of their gross pay in <br />overtime and this would add $46,671 for the 7 employees. In addition there are equipment costs <br />raising the annual total to over $1 million. Attarian indicated the need to add a Crime Prevention <br />Officer. The San Leandro Police Department is the only department in the Bay Area that does <br />not have a designated Crime Prevention Office and at this time, he must pull a patrol officer to <br />2 <br />
