DISCUSSION
In accordance with the City Charter, the City Manager has submitted the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year to the City Council at least 35 days prior to the beginning of fiscal year 2022-23. The City Manager has prepared and provided the proposed operating and capital improvement budgets to the City Council, and has also prepared the proposed budgets for the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency and the Housing Authority, and presented them to their respective governing bodies, for fiscal year 2022-2023. The City Manager’s Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 202 2-2023 has been made available on the City’s website and a hard copy of the document is available for public review at the City Clerk’s Office. Staff is now seeking City Council input on the City Manager’s Proposed Budget for fiscal year 2022-23. Once Council has approved the City Manager’s Proposed Budget for fiscal year 2022-23 as their own, with or without changes, staff will make the City Council’s Proposed Budget for fiscal year 202 2-23 available for public review by publishing the budget on the City’s website and making a copy available at the City Clerk’s Office at least ten days prior to the public hearing. If Council chooses to adopt the resolution, the public hearing for the final consideration and adoption of the budget will be held on May 24, 2022.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action in the current fiscal year.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of the City Council accepting the City Manager’s Fiscal Year 2022-23 Proposed Budget as their own. With approval of the resolution, Council will set the time and date for the final consideration and adoption of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Proposed Budget.
