Barrie Owens, Senior Code Enforcement Officer Authorize the City Manager to extend the current Animal Control Agreement with the City of San Bernardino through June 30. 2014 The City of San Bernardino has provided animal control services to the City of Grand Terrace since April 1, 2010 In March, 2013 the City of Grand Terrace and San Bernardino agreed to extend the Agreement for one year The Agreement extension is set to expire on March 30, 2014 DISCUSSION �'— The current Animal Control Services Agreement is scheduled to expire prior to the end -- of this fiscal year Animal Control costs were budgeted through June 30, 2014 at the current contract level Extending the length of the term allows the City to maintain the costs at the current budget amount through June 30, 2014 As the City considers proposals for animal control services, extending the current Agreement for three months would allow a new contract to coincide with the upcoming fiscal year, and simplifies the budget allocation process FISCAL IMPACT Animal control service costs are included in the fiscal year 2013-2014 operating budget The extended length of term does not include any increase in service costs

Finance Director RECOMMENDATION (1) Receive and file report, (2) Approve proposed FY 2013-14 budget adjustments and reserve designations, (3) Approve recommended FY 2014-15 budget development guidelines and review schedule BACKGROUND The purpose of the Mid -Year Budget Review is to provide the City Council with budget - to -actual results through the first half of the fiscal year, projections for fiscal year-end, and any proposed budget adjustments for consideration In this year's Mid -Year Budget Review, staff is also recommending that the City Council make several designations of General Fund Reserves, and approve the budget development guidelines and review schedule for the upcoming fiscal year prior to initiation of the budget process The Mid - Year Budget Review for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-14 focuses on the City's three major funds General Fund, Child Care Fund and Waste Water Disposal Fund The schedules presented in conjunction with the Mid -Year Budget Review include estimated and actual results for the prior fiscal year (FY 2012-13) It should be noted that the beginning balances of each fund are unaudited The City's auditors have recently completed their preliminary audit for FY 2012-13 and are scheduled to return for the final audit in March As a result, the FY 2013-14 beginning balances presented in this report are subject to audit adjustment upon completion of the FY 2012-13 audit DISCUSSION General Fund Operating Revenues As of June 30, 2013, General Fund actual revenues received were $4,424,063 or 38% more than the FY 2012-13 projection This is primarily due to receipt of $1,083,607 in unexpected property tax revenue from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) As previously discussed with the City Council, the City had relied on a RPTTF model provided by the City's property tax consultant, HDL Coren & Cone, which was discovered in November 2013 to have some erroneous assumptions, including the City's share of RPTTF residual distributions, which was incorrectly assumed to be 19 97% rather than the correct share of 45% The City's total RPTTF receipts received for FY 2012-13 are shown in the following table \` Packet Pg 22 the City owes the Successor Agency On December 29, 2013, the DOF approved these payments for immediate distribution to the taxing entities Since these receipts are not property tax, they will be considered "other funds" per HSC Section 34177(d) The City would, in this case, receive its 19 97% share Revenues are projected at $4,694,545 by June 30, 2014 RPTTF receipts are shown below Description Amount ROPS 13-14A 7/1/13—12/31/13 $217,705 ROPS 13-14B 1/1/14 — 6/30/14 605,700 Receipts from accelerated loan payment and disallowed credits 19 97% 616,445 Total $1,439,860 Operating Expenditures General Fund operating expenditures through December 31, 2013 are $1,674,449, which represents 43 8% of the annual budget of $3,822,060 With 50% of the fiscal year elapsed through December, this appears to be a positive result, however, expenditures at June 30th are projected to be $3,911,950, which includes projected leave cash -outs as a result of employee separations and increases in professional services to cover the essential functions formerly provided by City employees The fiscal year-end projections also include the following staffing actions previously approved by the City Council • Hiring of Interim City Manager ($69,000 net expenditure increase) — Represents leave cash -out of former City Manager less total compensation savings of Interim City Manager resulting from no employee benefits being received • Hiring of Interim City Manager ($40,000) • Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Financial Services for Finance Department Services ($19,000) Note Although the above amounts are included in the June 30th projected actuals, budget appropriations will be needed by the City Council, which are addressed later in this report Net Operating Results The FY 2013-14 General Fund Budget was adopted with a projected deficit of ($513,013) However, in adopting the budget, the City Council took action to either increase revenues with the passage of the proposed utility user tax (Measure C) or, if the measure failed, reduce expenditures by the amount of the budgeted deficit to preserve General Fund balance at the estimated amount of $300,152 After being advised of the unexpected RPTTF residual revenues received, by the City, the City Council took action on January 14, 2014 to defer the scheduled expenditure reductions and retain the expenditure budget as adopted With the receipt of RPTTF funds, the General Fund is expected to end the fiscal year with an operating surplus of $782,595 for the year, as reflected in the following table Packet Pg 24 out of former City Manager less total compensation 10-120-110 savings of Interim City Manager resulting from no employee benefits being received ) Approved by the City

net operating results as presented in the Five -Year Plan, along with the projected RPTTF revenue As shown, there are still projected operating deficits, albeit much smaller ones than would be the case without RPTTF revenues L Nonetheless, there will still be significant challenges ahead to balance the City's General Fund budget while providing the desired service levels to the community An updated Five -Year forecast will be included for the City Council's information as part of the FY 2014-15 budget Category FY 2014-16 FY 2016-16 FY 2016-17 FY 2017-18 Revenues $3,345,017 $3,356,917
