BACKGROUND:
City Council is required by the City Charter to adopt an Annual Appropriation Ordinance to
defray expenses for the ensuing budget year. Council adopted the 2000 and 2001 Biennial
Budget and appropriated monies for expenditure for fiscal year 2000. Because the City adopts a
two-year budget plan, it is prudent to review the second year (2001) of the adopted plan and, if
necessary, amend the 2001 budget prior to adoption of the 2001 Annual Appropriation
Ordinance.
The First Reading of this Ordinance to amend the adopted budget plan for 2001 and to
appropriate monies to fund the fiscal year 2001 budget was presented to Council on October 17,
2000. At that time, Council unanimously approved all proposed amendments to the 2001 budget
with the exception of the amount proposed for the Pollution Prevention Program. The approved
amendments minus the Pollution Prevention Program are included in this Ordinance to amend the
2001 budget and to appropriate funds for fiscal year 2001 on Second Reading.

DATE: October 17, 2000 2 ITEM NUMBER: 40
BACKGROUND:
City Council is required by the City Charter to adopt an Annual Appropriation Ordinance to defray
expenses for the ensuing budget year. Council adopted the 2000 and 2001 Biennial Budget and
appropriated monies for expenditure for fiscal year 2000. Because the City adopts a two-year
budget plan, it is prudent to review the second year (2001) of the adopted plan and, if necessary,
amend the 2001 budget prior to adoption of the 2001 Annual Appropriation Ordinance.
In developing the multi-year budget concept for the City, staff talked with a number of officials in
communities that had experience with multi-year budgeting. In talking with the officials, one
common "secret" that was me o s d t allow the second year of the
budget to be reopened during r iew". do so o n ate xpected time savings and would
undermine the objective of to -term p ning t is "se t" in mind, staff earlier proposed
to the Finance Committee the g e appr ion of funds for the second year
of the adopted 2000 and 2001 budget. The Finance Committee reviewed and concurred with the
process and criteria for considering any adjustments.
At the adoption of the 2000 and 2001 biennial budget, Council did list a number of items to be
considered during the adjustment process for amending the 2001 adopted budget. Other than those
items listed by Council, the only other adjustments that were considered, subject to available
resources, were:
• Needs and adjust is r 0of
nt s at, without adjustment, will
significantly impair a provi e
• Those specifically directed by Council or City Manager
• New programs or enhanced services requested by the community
Preliminary adjustment recommendations to the 2001 budget were reviewed by the Finance
Committee and by Council at the September 26, 2000, study session. One change to the
recommendations was made after the study session (removing the$100,000 one-time expenditure
for mail ballots for all voters). From the review by the Finance Committee and at the Council study
session,the amended budget f sc a is a ncil for consideration. Second
Reading and final adoption of e Annu fiAppr(Jn&gJVrdi a is scheduled for November 21,
2000.
Recommended 2001 Budget Adjustments
The City Manager's recommendation for adjustments to the 2001 adopted budget plan comes with
a caveat. If voters approve the Tax Cut 2000 (Amendment 21) initiative as an amendment to the
State Constitution,the recommendation will be changed to reflect no adjustments requiring additional
General Fund monies. In fact,preliminary estimates show that approximately$2.7 million in existing
General Fund provided services might have to be cut in 2001. If that is the case, new
recommendations will be formulated involving service cuts in order to balance the budget. In
addition, if voters approve the Responsible Growth Initiative (Amendment 24) to the State
Constitution, some of the recommended budget adjustments would need to be reevaluated.
DATE: October 17, 2000 3 ITEM NUMBER: 40
