CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT Date: December 14, 1999 To: John Jermanis, City Manager By: Wandzia Grycz, Assistant City Manager Subject: Mayor and City Council Budgets SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL — U�� John J. Je am City Manama IQ /'?'-.qo-99 Oo51/ 1315) The Rules and Communications Committee is recommending that the existing City Council budget be modified into a new structure wherein the Mayor and each Council Member would have their own budget. The existing City Council account will be maintained for general City Council expenditures BACKGROUND The City Council directed staff to review all aspects of the City Council's budget and divide the FY99-00 budget allocations into seven new budgets, one for the Mayor and each City Council District. The intent of the new structure is to provide more exact accounting of City Council expenditures. The Rules and Communications Committee reviewed the existing budget allocations at the Committee's October 26, 1999 meeting and reviewed the proposed allocations according to the new structure at its November 23, 1999 meeting. The Committee approved the attached "Suggested Budget for City Council Members and Mayor." Funds were left in the General City Council account and the Meetings and Memberships account to cover other expenses not related to specific Council Members. The Committee directed staff to place the item on the City Council's December 20, 1999 agenda for Council discussion and consideration. DISCUSSION The FY99-00 City Council budget as well as the FY99-00 Meetings and Memberships budget were reviewed and the budget detail supporting the budget allocations were divided into the seven new budgets. Actual budgeted items were allocated to the respective new account; for example, the travel amount budgeted for the Mayor in FY99-00 Meetings and Memberships was assigned to the Mayor's new account.
