Finance Director Moreno provided an overview of the budget workshop, augmentation requests and City Council’s General Fund fiscal priorities. He provided a detailed overview of forecasted revenues and operational costs for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 stating that staff is forecasting an increase in General fund (Fund 110) revenues of 9.3% from Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Amended Budget, which is part due to transfers in from Measure A. He reported that staff is also projecting a reduction in self-insurance expenditures, impacting all funds, due to excess equity (reserves) within the internal service funds.
Those funds are Worker Compensation Insurance (Fund 510), Health Care Insurance (Fund 511), and Casualty Insurance (Fund 512).
Director Moreno then reviewed the requested budgets for each General Fund Account Division and the items listed in the augmentation requests.
