The sununary of the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 1990-91 was presented to Council in the City Manager's May 3, 1990 Letter of Transmittal, Over all, the proposed budget of $42,555,336 for FY 1990-91 is down 1,3%, or $573,876, from last year's adopted budget of $43,129,212. The City Manager advised Council that this is the first year of the computerized budget and commended Jerry Parker for a fine job in completing the implementation of the computerized budget program. The major changes occurring this next year are sununarized in the transmittal letter, Staff explained that the medical/dental insurance costs were increasing by 23% over FY 1989-90 costs generally due to increases in the medical/dental market, Also, although the City is in a self-insured pool with other cities for both medical and dental, the cost increase reflects the increase for claims and increase in premiums, The City offers two plans to employees - one plan is self-insured through Pacific Mutual; the other is Kaiser, an HMO, The self-insured plan has a cap of $50,000 per individual, per year, which the City pays, and an aggregate cap of $1,500,000. Further, for the types of plans the City is currently offering, the rates are still below any other plan available, Moreover, staff is continually looking at other alternatives and nothing has be'en found to be better than the insurance program now in place, Staff pointed out that the increase in these insurance funds reflects an increase claims and claims significantly, in premium; larger workers' compensation management fees ",which have risen Staff reported that $1,297,000 had recently been received as a result of the City's participation in the seizure of narcotics in Sy1mar, The amount was less than expected because the federal government has received a larger percentage of the distribution of the monies than had first been reported. These funds are restricted and can only be used for police activities related to narcotics, The funds 5/29/90 -1- 32:0115 cannot be uaed to augment or supplement the general City budget. Staff proposes to fund the Parent A1ert/ColDlllUnity Hotline program for FY 1990-91 with $20,000 from the Narcotic Seizure Fund since the program is related to the problem of drug abuse, MGE. & GEN. EMP. In reference to the staff transmittal letter, Council noted SALARY INCREASE - that when the salary cost-of-living adjustment for Management FY 1990-91 and General Employees is added, the proposed budget will be out of balance '" this occurs every year. Staff reported the cost-of-1iving is at 5.5% this year. This would amount to $65,000 for each 1% increase, which includes retirement costa. EQUIP. REPLACE- MENT FUND RENT & ROYALTY REVENUE ACCT. In reference to the transfer of $3,300,000 from the General Fund and Capital Outlay to the Equipment Replacement Fund, staff proposes to fund Equipment Replacement by this amount to make this fund self-supporting for purchases such as paramedic vehicles, fire equipment or police cars. Also this fund could provide loan monies to the Redevelopment Agency for short term loans. A third use for these funds in the Equipment Replacement Fund could be a ready reserve in the event of a major disaster such as an earthquake. Council noted that after the Equipment Replacement Fund is fully funded, the needed equipment could then be purchased by the interest earned, leaving the principal intact. It was noted that, in the transfer of funds, $3,000,000 would transfer from the General Fund and $300,000 from race track revenues in the Capital Outlay Fund. 1 Council noted that this account had increased from $44,800 in FY 1989-90 to an estimate of $114,000 in FY 1990-91. Staff explained that this increase is mainly due to the additional revenues expected from the Par-3 Golf Course. Par-3 is under new management, and since acquiring the facility, the new management has improved the grounds and buildings; business has increased and revenue to the City has increased also.
