A. Fiscal Year 2023–24 Midyear Budget Review
1. Consider Review of the City's Fiscal Operations and Approval of Proposed Changes to the Fiscal Year 2023–24 Budget
Director of Finance Kulbeck reported the status of the City's financial operations at midyear, discussing specific changes to the City's Estimated Revenue and Appropriations Budgets; and reviewed the City Manager’s recommended changes to the City’s General Operating Fund expenditures, in conjunction with the showing of a PowerPoint presentation.
Staff fielded questions from the City Council related to lower– than–projected tax revenues, vandalized median islands, rising insurance rates, and the City’s dim prospects for revenues from the County pool of internet sales taxes—mainly due to cities entering into tax revenue sharing agreements with online retailers that agree to locate distribution centers in their cities and designate the facilities as the point–of–sale location, ensuring all the internet sales tax revenues go to only that city.
