Dear Council and Board Members:
I am pleased to present to your Council and Board the Recommended Budget for FY 2023- 2024. Before diving into the budget, it goes without saying that the last few years have been a testament to what Gonzales is all about – a small, united community that strives for excellence.
Coming out of the pandemic, the community rallied together and excitedly celebrated the City’s 75th Year Anniversary of Incorporation with a series of events, that continued to showcase the love and appreciation for our small town and its charm.
On the development front, we: (a) completed the build out of Phase II of our Skate Park; (b) are moving the Rianda Cooler project through the process of approval and are expecting them to start construction in early 2024, and if all goes well, the City is set to receive$26,518 per year in annual revenue from the project with permit fees totaling $4,507,251 in one-time development impact fees upon completion of the project; (c) the Gonzales Community Center or the Janice and Dennis Caprara Community Center is well on its way to start construction now that we have a Design Build team on board. We are expecting the groundbreaking to take place in early 2024; and (d) we are continuing to work with the interested parties of Vista Lucia and DR Horton to bring housing into the community.
While we are still climbing out of the impacts of the pandemic and working through some fiscal challenges, the budget reflects the use of American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds to maintain programs like the T-Mobile Hotspots. Measure K and X are also holding strong and brining in funding to help cover some of the Janice and Dennis Caprara Community Center work, and are funding some of our key programing like our sports league, aquatics, our youth leadership development, Kid Power programs, as well as the Hartnell Promise. And we are closing out the year being selected as winner of the 2023 All-American Award by the National Civic League.
Of the overall budget amount, the General Fund appropriations total $7,643,291. A slight increase (3%) from FY 2022-2023. The change is primarily driven by the work on the Janice and Dennis Caprara Community Center, the increase to worker’s compensation and liability insurance, the new employee bargaining agreement, as well as the employee and management salaries and benefits.
2 Overall, revenues are $28,410,824 of that, the General Fund is $7,187,541 which is 8.1% higher than FY 2022-2023 mainly due to a slight increase in sales and property tax revenues including Measure X and K.
While tight, the FY 2023-2024 budget reflects the Council’s priorities. For example, it funds all authorized positions, maintains core operations, continues the “Internet for All Initiative”, maintains and proactively continues to support the development of the Gonzales Agricultural Industrial Business Park (GAIBP), and funds participation in the South Salinas Valley Broadband Joint Powers Authority (SSVBA).
The budget also reflects a slight decrease in our General Fund Balance Reserve (rainy day fund).
As your Council reviews the budget document, please keep in mind that any increases in expenditures or funding of new programs and/or initiatives should be done cautiously because they will need to be taken from another section of the budget. This approach is recommended because it is important to work on building our General Fund Reserve back up to at least to a minimum of $1 million dollars.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all my staff and Mike Howard whose service, cooperation, and commitment to excellence made this document a possibility; Michael Rodriguez, City Attorney, who has been a great partner and provided invaluable advice to all departments; Mary Villegas for her tireless hard work; and to the entire staff of the City of Gonzales for their continued dedication to the City.
Respectfully submitted,
Carmen Gil, MPA
City Manager
