Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget Workshop Session <br />May 18, 2021 <br />Page 4 <br />• To improve customer service at the City Hall Annex first floor information desk, the <br />draft budget will include an additional reduction of the hiring freeze for a <br />Receptionist with no fiscal impact, as reductions to other line items in the draft <br />budget will offset the proposed cost. <br />After City Council adopts the budget, staff expects to propose the following updates or <br />changes during FY21-22- <br />• Potential savings from the pension debt refinancing. There are many moving <br />pieces including the municipal bond market, proposed bond structure, CAPERS <br />investment return for FY20-21, and CalPERS Board consideration of the discount <br />rate in October. Estimates may be available in August, but that is subject to <br />change. <br />• If the Police Department is able to hire correctional officers, there may be a <br />forthcoming recommendation to add a revenue estimate for the last jail module. <br />• Subject to iden[ifica[ion of a funding source, [he budge[ may need to increase if <br />the City Council grants any employee compensation increases through future labor <br />negotiations. <br />• Staff expects to propose the use of ARPA money to recover revenue losses to <br />cure the negative balance for the Downtown Parking fund, and to free llp other <br />resources to ensure the General Fund balance at June 30, 2022 is compliant with <br />the 18% Reserve Policy. <br />• The City continues to have issues with several internal service funds with <br />increasing costs (e.g. Building Maintenance and Fleet Maintenance) without <br />corresponding increases to the General Fund budget. Staff needs to further <br />analyze the situation and develop solutions, which may include adjustments at <br />Midyear. <br />Hiring Freeze <br />The FY20-21 budget included a hiring freeze to help balance the budget. To preserve <br />service, the proposed hiring freeze for FY21-22 is less in scope. <br />HIRING FREEZE SUMMARY <br />DRAFT <br />FY 20-21 FY 21-22 <br />Number of Positions* 47 1 32 <br />1 liring Freeze Value $ 5,443,330 1 $ 2,987,550 <br />"Rcflcct, Initial rrarrrbcrof po,itirms us of 711120 <br />General Fund Ten -Year Outlook <br />the Ten -Year Outlook includes the following assumptions. <br />• The first year is the Outlook is draft FY21-22 budget. <br />City Council 24 — 4 5/18/2021 <br />
