File Number: 21-115 <br />7,975,200 <br />Amended General Fund Expenditure Appropriations <br />Non-Departmental <br />Vacancy Saving (010-14-002-4301)(2,431,000) <br />Community Development <br />Consulting (010-41-001-5120)40,000 <br />Consulting related to neighborhood impacts of infill housing <br />(2,391,000) <br />Amended Shoreline Enterprise Expenditure Appropriations <br />Shoreline Enterprise <br />Miscellaneous (596-56-001-5890)435,000 <br />American Golf management and incentive fees <br />Construction (596-56-115-5240)125,000 <br />Golf clubhouse improvements <br />All cities projected significant reduction in revenues resulting from COVID-19 and the Stay in <br />Place emergency orders. San Leandro experienced this revenue decline in the fourth quarter of <br />FY 2019-20. When amending the final FY 2020-21 General Fund budget on June 15, 2020, the <br />City anticipated continuing shortfalls. As a result, revenues were decreased by $8,868,000. <br />While the City has experienced revenue decreases in select areas (Charges for Services), <br />overall revenues are experiencing an upward curve. The total proposed budget amendment for <br />General Fund revenue appropriations amounts to $7,975,200. The appropriation amendment <br />decreases expenditures by a total of $2,391,000. Based on this mid-year budget adjustment, <br />amended revenues are now projected to exceed expenditures by $1,605,200. Please note that <br />this amount may be higher due to a delay in spending of appropriated funds that will be carried <br />over into next fiscal year (and further lowering expenditures in this fiscal year). Consistent with the <br />City’s policy, encumbrances outstanding at year-end are recorded as assigned fund balance and <br />are automatically reappropriated for the following year. Once approved by the City Council, <br />carryovers for programs are also reappropriated in the following fiscal year. Open purchase <br />orders and carryover requests average about $3,800,000 in recent years. <br />In addition, there are actions at the federal level to provide aid to local governments. The City is <br />monitoring the relief bill closely to understand the potential financial impacts. Staff will come back <br />to the City Council to propose additional budget adjustments if funds are allocated to the City. <br />Finally, based on City Council direction, staff will bring forward in April an augmentation of staffing <br />in the City Clerk’s Division of the City Manager’s Office, in response to the recent demands <br />placed on this Division. The Division has seen a spike in responsibilities as a result of the Stay in <br />Place order and the associated changes to agenda management. In addition, there has been a <br />steep increase in the use of the legally prescribed Public Records Request process to request <br />both routine and complex information that was previously handled through more informal means. <br />Page 5 City of San Leandro Printed on 3/10/2021 <br />91
