DISCUSSION
The City Council provided Early Direction on April 2 and staff has updated the proposed budget accordingly. The City conducted internal budget meetings with departments from March 25 to April 11 to receive supplemental budget requests and staff priorities. After comparing the requests to City Council priorities received during Early Direction and community priorities received during the budget outreach, Finance worked with the City Manager’s Office to build a proposed budget for City Council consideration. Through May 13, the City has received over 2,100 budget survey responses. Staff will continue community engagement and will present results during the presentation for this agenda item.
The staff presentation includes the following:
•Community Engagement Results
•Notable additions to the General Fund Budget
•Summary spending plans to serve the Unhoused Community and Youth populations
•A summary of the proposed Cannabis Public Benefit Fund spending plan During the May 7 City Council meeting, this item was continued to May 16. Staff expects to post the draft budget document to the City’s website on May 13, in advance of the May 16 meeting.

Miscellaneous Fees Benchmarking
As requested by the City Council, staff has compiled a sampling of comparative Miscellaneous Fees with other cities (Exhibit 1). In addition, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency has been studying their fees and how they compare to other cities and may return to City Council with recommendations at a later date. In the meantime, Staff proposes no increase for Parks, Recreation, and Community Service Fees and an increase of 4.66% for all other FY 2024-25 Miscellaneous Fees.
General Fund Reconciliation
The General Fund reconciliation (Exhibit 2) accounts for all changes from the adjusted FY 2023-24 General Fund budget to the proposed FY 2024-25 General Fund budget.
The reconciliation includes a detailed listing of all proposed additions, both recurring and one-time amounts.
¹Staff is recommending a one-time adjustment to close out the Stores Internal Service Fund at the June 4, 2024 City Council Meeting as part of the Third Quarter Budget Update.
Proposed Measure X Spending Plan
The proposed spending plan (Exhibit 3) includes recommended spending categorized by ballot category and department. The estimated Measure X revenue for FY 2024-25 is $85,632,610. The proposed spending plan of $85,798,655 exceeds the revenue estimate in case actual revenue is higher. The revenue and expenditures are General Fund money, and any expenditures in excess of Measure X revenue will be paid by other General Fund revenue.

A General Fund subsidy for the Parking Enterprise is not sustainable. Therefore, staff proposes using one-time money to subsidize one year of one-hour free parking, to allow time for developing recommendations to re-balance the Parking Enterprise budget. If the City Council opts to increase the duration of free parking and/or continue free parking beyond FY 2024-25, the recurring spending plan will need to be adjusted.
Next Steps
•City Council can provide direction to staff and if additional discussion is needed this agenda item can be continued to May 21st.
•On June 4, the City Council is scheduled to conduct the Budget Public Hearing and consider the first reading of an ordinance to adopt the budget for FY 2024- 25, which begins on July 1, 2024, and ends on June 30, 2025. •The second reading and adoption of the FY 2024-25 Budget Ordinance is scheduled for June 18.
