SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS .=!J)OPTING FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 MUNICIPAL BUDGETS FOR THE CITY OF SOUTH GATE; SOUTH GATE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND
THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SOUTH GATE
PURPOSE: To adopt the Proposed Fiscal Year 2024-25 Municipal Budget for these various entities and consider the adoption of the proposed spending plan(s) as indicated in the Resolution attached for consideration.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council, South Gate Housing Authority and the Successor Agency to the Community Development Cornrnission of the City of Sorith Gate will consider:
a. Adopting a Resolution adopting the Municipal Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25 with the changes stipulated in Exhibit A and B for a total of $1 74,195,754 for all funds along with any additions or deletions the Legislative Bodies may enact; and
b. Authorizing the reprogramming for FY 2023-24 ARPA funds in the amount of $3,350,000; and c. Adopting a Resolution adopting the annual Gann Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25, to include all fiinds and entities, as amended is $1 74,195,754. This amount includes transfers in and out of various funds. The General Fund accounts for $69,155,106 including transfers out. The Proposed Budget for the Successor Agency is $3,241,701 and the Housing Authority is $5,882,600. The total revenue estimated for all entities and funds is $173,949,385. The differences are covered by the reserves and/or one or more funds that have accumulated for various proposed expenditures (primarily Capital Improvement Projects).
ANALYSIS: At tonight's meeting, which is the first of two scheduled meetings, staff will provide a general overview of the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25. In addition, several departments will begin providing presentations on their requested funding allocations for the new fiscal year. The meeting 5 will be continued to June 11, 2024, where the Legislative Bodies will hear from the remaining departments on their requested funding allocations and will consider approving a Resolution adopting tlie Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25 along with any adjustments discussed during these hearings. All these budget meetings are open to the public to observe and participate through the public comment section of the meeting.
The Proposed Budget was placed on the City's webpage for access and review by members of the public on June 3, 2024. Since then, several adjustments have been identified that need to be made to the Proposed Budget following reviews by staff and the City Council. Tliese adjustments to the Budget are outlined in Exhibit A of the attached resolution. The proposed expenditure budget for capital funds budgets increased by $246,369. The total FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget, to inchide all funds and entities, with these adjustments is $174,195,754. The Proposed Budget may be further adjusted with any additions or deletions the Legislative Bodies may enact during the budget meetings.
It is important to note that a budget is a plan that is fluid. Typically, reports on the budget are made periodically during the fiscal year. At a minimum, a mid-year budget will be conducted where staff will report on the budget for the current fiscal year and request consideration of any adjustments that may be needed. At the same time, it allows staff to begin to solicit budget themes for the upcoming fiscal year that the City Corincil may wish to explore when the proposed budget is presented.
BACKGROUND: A municipal budget addresses city policies, city operations and communicates the anticipated financial activities to both the public and Legislative Bodies of the impacted entities. This is the first of two scheduled meetings to review the various proposed spending requests. The second meeting will be on June 11, 2024, where the City Council will consider approving a Resolution to adopt the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
Governrnent Code Section 53901 requires each local agency to file its budget with the county auditor within 60 days after the beginning of its fiscal year. If an agency does not have a "formal budget", it must file a listing of its anticipated revenues together with its expenditures for the fiscal year in progress.
Staff anticipates that the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25 will be adopted on June 11, 2024, which is within the time frame of submitting the budget to the county auditor.
Additionally, each year the City must adopt an appropriation limit called the Gann limit. The Gann limit is designed to limit the amount of revenue that can be appropriated in a fiscal year. The appropriations subject to the limit are those that expend proceeds of taxes (e.g., Property Tax, Sales Tax, and Transient Occupancy Tax) less any exclusion for qualified capital outlay, debt service, and federal mandates. The finance staff has calculated the Gann Limit for FY 2024-25 to be $102,450,823, leaving the City with an appropriations balance under the limit of $53,121,243.
