The City Clerk's Office would like to request additional funds in the Passport Office supplies account to help
pay for the increased cost of Passport photo ink for
the remainder of FY 2021-22. Revenue Offset.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
FIRE
The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division is
experiencing a sharp increase in the cost of all
medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and narcotics.
Coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Special
Departmental Supplies budget for EMS has been
depleted and funds are necessary to continue
purchasing medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and
narcotics for the rest of the fiscal year. The EMS
Division will be requesting an increase to its Special
Departmental Supplies account as part of the FY 2022-
23 budget process. Funding for this account was last
increased in FY 2018-19.
Justification
Grant Funds from Providence Saint Joseph's medical
center to be appropriated for providing public health
services to people experiencing homelessness and
developing homeless solutions. Revenue Offset.
Los Angeles (LA) County Innovative Housing Grant
(Measure H Funds) to be appropriated for interim
housing for people experiencing homelessness.

These funds comprise donation amounts received by
the Animal Shelter from citizens renewing licenses or
individual donors. Funds are used to purchase special
medical equipment, provide special medical care for
animals, and other uses to provide for the betterment
of shelter operations and the welfare of the animals
under the shelter's care. These funds are restricted
and can only be used for Animal Shelter purposes.
Revenue Offset.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Due to severe weather storms in the Fall of 2021,
hundreds of City trees were damaged resulting in
blockage to the public right of way and damage to
park property. There were also 17 large eucalyptus
trees damaged, affecting a waterway and railroad.
The trees were removed immediately to ensure public
safety and to clear the right of way. Due to the
magnitude of the damage, the Department had to
request emergency tree removal services from the
City's contracted tree maintenance provider to assist
Forestry personnel. The requested funds will be
allocated to absorb the unanticipated costs associated
with the aforementioned emergency services, tree
removals, chain link fence repair, and overtime
expenses associated with the respective call-outs.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The Management Services Department (MSD) is
seeking the services of a consultant for the ongoing
support of the City's existing caseload under the Fair
Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). An ADA
consultant will assist with comprehensive
management of the City’s disability compliance
obligations to ensure that the City is making sound
and reasonable accommodation decisions. The
consultant will manage the caseload resulting from the
Workers’ Compensation process, ensuring that there
is no conflict of interest and the City is protected from liabilities. Due to shortages in staff, and an increase in caseload, the City’s sole ADA Coordinator does not
have the capacity to manage the average caseload
which is close to 90 cases. An ADA consultant will
support City staff by overseeing approximately 40-50
cases and providing guidance on additional cases on
an as-needed basis. On average it will cost
approximately $3,000 per case to manage 50 cases
for a total of $150,000 annually. Therefore, for the
remainder of FY 2021-22 staff is requesting $75,000.

SECTION 8 VOUCHER PROGRAM (FUND 117)
Funds required for Section 8 operational expenses
related to notification and marketing to landlords on
the benefits and incentives in participating in the
Section 8 Program. With the continued effects of
COVID-19, staff is expanding outreach to landlords in
order to assist vouchered tenants with finding a unit to lease.
Funds to be appropriated to be utilized in contracting
consultants for Section 8 operations in other
professional services and private contractual services.
Section 8 is currently short staffed due to an
unexpected vacancy of a Case Manager. During the
recruitment and training process to fill the vacancy, a consultant is necessary to assist in Section 8
operations required for selecting and processing
eligible applicants from the Waiting List, and for
clerical and administrative support, including follow-up notices to applicants for the Section 8 Program.
Funds required for additional notices and information
to Section 8 applicants and participants with ongoing
changes and updates due to COVID-19.
DRUG ASSET FORFEITURE (FUND 124)
Staff is requesting the appropriation of Federal and
State Asset Forfeiture funds. These funds are utilized
for the acquisition of a police canine unit, canine unit equipment and training, specialized training, night
vision equipment, and electronic surveillance
equipment. These funds are restricted and can only
be used for law enforcement purposes.

Staff is working with consultants on a study of options for packaging the new Central Library and other
facilities in the Civic Center as a public-private
partnership. As work has gotten underway, staff have
determined additional components are required that
will exceed the amount presented as part of the FY
2021-22 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget.
The added components will provide a better basis for
decisions by providing conceptual plans for the overall site map, assessing the condition of certain facilities, and validating space needs for staff currently in the
Administrative Services Building (ASB). Funding for
this request is from the Central Library Holding
account.
GENERAL CITY CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND (FUND 370)
This amount of the City's Transportation Development
Act (TDA) Article 3 allocation needs to be
appropriated in the FY 2021-22 to prevent the funds
from lapsing. These funds are administered by Metro
and eligible for pedestrian and bicycle facilities and
amenities only. These restricted funds will replace a
portion of the project's less restricted Measure R Local Return and Development Impact Fee funds. Revenue
Offset.
ELECTRIC FUND (FUND 496)
In October 2021, Intermountain Power Project (IPP)
participants were informed of major supply chain
issues to deliver coal to the unit. As a result, IPP
production was reduced for October, November, and
December 2021. IPP production was further reduced
from January to June 2022. IPP makes up about 26
percent of Burbank Water and Power's (BWP’s)
resource portfolio. In order to meet retail needs, BWP
will need to increase procurement from the market
and run its local units more. As a result, power
purchases will increase by $6.6 million. There are
minor cost savings by limiting IPP production;
however, those savings will only offset a very small
amount in comparison to the added cost of not having
that unit. Natural gas prices are expected to increase
costs by $5.2 million. BWP also needs to complete
the unexpected overhaul of the Lake Unit which adds
an additional $5.3 million. Included in the $9.7 million mid-year appropriation request amount are forecasted
savings of approximately $7.4 million from operating
efficiencies and Southern California Public Power
Authority (SCPPA) project annual payment
reconciliations. It is anticipated that the coal supply issue and natural gas price increases will greatly
impact the FY 2022-23 budgets.

Staff is requesting an increase in the General Liability Fund Insurance account, which pays for Citywide
insurance, including general liability. Due to a severely hardened market for general liability insurance for
municipalities, the City's general liability insurance
renewals for FY 2021-22 were higher than expected.
While the City's own general liability experience has
remained stable over the last several years, the
general liability market for municipalities has
hardened due to significant increases in the cost of
police liability, dangerous condition liability, and
personal injury claims against municipalities across
the industry.
18 530.MS04A.62085.0000
GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE FUND (FUND 530)
495,000.00 Other Professional Services The MSD Labor Relations division requests additional funds for workplace investigations. The division
covers investigations through a combination of one
dedicated staff member and outside investigators
budgeted at $225,000 annually. Due to the hiring
freeze and staff turnover, the division has been short- staffed since March 2021. The division is also
significantly impacted by work related to COVID-19.
As such, staff has not had the capacity to conduct
workplace investigations and has relied on outside
investigators.
Additionally, the number of workplace investigations
has dramatically increased. Previously, the City
averaged three or four investigations per year.
Currently, the City has 11 open investigations, and
staff anticipates another five investigations for the FY.
According to the Association of Workplace
Investigators (AWI), organizations across the United
States have seen an increase in workplace
investigations due to dramatic changes in workplace
culture driven by the national dialog around sexual
harassment and racial justice. Even fully staffed, the
number of investigations would have outpaced MSD's
ability to conduct them internally and the regular
budgeted funding for outside investigators.
The average investigation costs $60,000; at an
estimated 12 investigations this FY, the total will be
$720,000. After expending the $225,000 annual
budget, staff requests an additional $495,000 to
complete the ongoing 11 investigations and one
additional investigation. Any additional investigations beyond 12 this fiscal year will be conducted inhouse
by staff as MSD anticipates having filled the vacancies in the Labor Relations Division soon.

As a self-insured employer for workers’ compensation,
the City is required to pay assessments to the state
pursuant to the Labor Code. The funds collected
support state administrative and regulatory programs
in its efforts to oversee self-insured employers, such
as the operations of the Workers’ Compensation
Appeals Board. While the City has reduced its overall
workers’ compensation costs by $1.6 million for the
General Fund, workers’ compensation costs
throughout the state have increased due largely to
COVID-19 but also due to the fundamentally generous
nature of the workers’ compensation benefits provided
under state law. Regardless of the City’s reduced
worker’s compensation costs, the City must share in
the increased costs to run the state's administrative
and regulatory programs related to self-insured
employers and experienced a larger than anticipated
increase in the cost of these assessments.
WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND (FUND 531)
Staff is requesting funds to support the City's program to evaluate Industrial Disability Retirement (IDR)
applications pursuant to CalPERS law. Over the last
several years, CalPERS has clarified and more tightly
scrutinized the process by which agencies approve
IDRs, including engaging in agency audits. The City
has in turn established improved processes designed
to closely adhere to CalPERS law, including utilizing
Independent Medical Examiners (IMEs) to make the
determinations regarding whether IDR applicants
qualify under the CalPERS definition of "disabled,"
and engaging the State Office of Administrative
Hearings to adjudicate disputed applications. The
purpose of the request for additional funds is to
support the City's efforts to stay in compliance with
CalPERS law with regard to IDRs.
Staff is requesting an increase in the Workers'
Compensation Insurance account which pays for the
City's excess workers' compensation insurance
required under state law for any claims above $2
million (the City is self-insured for claims up to $2
million). While the City has significantly reduced its
overall cost of workers' compensation by $1.6 million
for the General Fund as a result of a focus on injury
prevention and improvements to the claims
management process, the cost of workers'
compensation throughout the State of California
continues to escalate due largely to COVID-19 but
also due to the fundamentally generous nature of the
workers' compensation benefits provided under state
law.
Regardless of the City's positive experience in
bringing down workers' compensation costs, the City
is still subject to the hardening market for worker's
compensation excess insurance and experienced a
larger than anticipated increase in the cost of its
excess insurance.

The playground equipment at George Izay Park was
replaced in 2021 and while safe, in compliance with
the new Consumer Product Safety Commission
guidelines, and current Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, it does not address the robust needs of
park users as there are fewer play features. Through
a comprehensive community engagement and Parks
Master Plan process that began in November 2021,
there was overwhelming support to augment the
playground equipment with additional structures that
create unique play areas for children 5-12 years of
