Agenda Item
(14-104 CC/14-006 SACIC) Recommendation to Accept the Second Quarter Financial
Report for the Period Ending December 31, 2013 and Approve Mid-Year Budget
Adjustments to the Fiscal Year 2013-14 Budget.
The Finance Director gave a brief presentation.
Mayor Gilmore inquired whether the City received 25% of the un-used funds the
Successor Agency funds, which went to the County.
The Finance Director responded in the affirmative; stated every six months the City
submits budget obligations to the Successor Agency Board; the Board receives about
$6 to $7 million; remaining fund not used for obligations are returned to the 1% County
pool; after the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) payment, the City’s net
is approximately 25%.
Mayor Gilmore inquired why the State is not trying to take the remaining funds.
The Finance Director stated part of the 1% funds go toward ERAF, which is less money
the State has to spend for the schools.
The City Manager added the funds count against the State’s Proposition 98 amount.
Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the return of $1 million would reoccur
annually, to which the Finance Director responded in the negative; stated some amount
every six months will be received which will be evaluated for the mid-cycle update.
Councilmember Daysog moved approval of the staff recommendation.
Councilmember Tam seconded the motion which carried by unanimous voice vote – 5.
