Speaker 0: And so she's asked that we hear 18 and 19 really quick and then do public comment, which I'm going to watch, I'm fine with. So can we just hear item 18 and then 19, please?
Speaker 1: Item 18 is report from Financial Management Recommendation to receive and file fiscal year 2018 year end budget performance report and increase appropriation in several funds across several departments for various purposes to reflect final expenditures and carry cleanup citywide.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Councilwoman Longo.
Speaker 13: Thank you. I appreciate the documentation brought forward by the city staff. I'm open to hearing from my colleagues that have queued up.
Speaker 2: Yes. Do we have a staff report on this? Certainly we have a staff report from Grace Yoon, our budget manager in the finance department. Grace.
Speaker 4: Good evening, Vice Mayor and members of the City Council. This is the year end performance report for FY 18 for the period ending September 30th, 2018, for all funds. The General Fund ended the year with a positive remaining funds available of 2.3 million due to proactive management of the budget revenues that were higher than previous projections that helped offset revenues that came in below budget savings targets instituted mid-year and additional departmental cost savings. In addition, there was an ending funds available about 690,000 for the UPLANDS Fund. So in accordance with City Council policy, the city manager is proposing that 5% of the surplus be set aside for unfunded liabilities. Also, per the Fy19 Budget Adoption City Council approved the use of the first 305,000 of the FY18 surplus to fund various contingent appropriation. City manager is also proposing to set aside funds to honor the request of the Legislative Department, the city auditor's office and the city prosecutor's office to set aside and reprogram their department savings for FY 18. Additionally, the city manager is proposing to set aside funds for community hospital and armory holding costs. Continuation of Sunday library hours. Phase three of the Coyote Study, Emergency Maintenance, Mobile Technology for the Police Department and Homelessness efforts support measure A was also good news. This year there was a surplus of 7.9 million of measure funds beyond what was anticipated and allocated through the Fy19 measure a plan. The city manager is proposing that these funds be reserved and appropriated in Fy19 to ensure key measure eight and other infrastructure projects are not deferred from their original schedules. To move up key projects earlier in the schedule and to carry over some of the savings in administration for educational materials. These recommended recommendations will also be reviewed with the Citizens Advisory Committee on February 26 to confirm that the recommended uses conform with the resolution of intent for measure a spending. This report also includes recommended uses for the Tidelands funds available at the end of a 1518, as well as budget adjustments and the Tidelands Oil Revenue Fund and Upland Oil Fund to align actuals to budget offset by oil revenue. There are no other revenues or expenditure concerns to report at this time, and this concludes the staff report and I'm available for any questions.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Councilman Michael. He was reluctant public coming first as anyone would like to speak on this item. You're not. Go ahead. Yes, go ahead.
Speaker 6: I'm not exactly clear about the 7.9. Is it $7.9 million surplus for Missouri? Oh, okay. Well, I just caught this while you were talking about it. And it it's my understanding that you haven't decided what to do with that money yet. So I would like to propose that you take $3.5 million and get SPCA play out of that building over there at the shelter and put the rest of the shelter people in there so we could expand services for the animals in Long Beach. I don't know if there's any other surplus on any other measures, but since it hasn't been decided what to do with that money yet, you could do at least $3.5 million to help clean up that whole problem over there. That's my suggestion.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 5: To hear more comments. Nina in Dallas, Councilman Nina Gonzalez.
Speaker 4: Yes. Thank you so much for the report. I am wondering if this would be a good opportunity. It doesn't seem like there's a lot extra left, but $52,000 for digital inclusion, strategic planning. Now that it is a city wide initiative, it would be great to include that here or I don't know if it needs to be done at a later time. But I just wanted to throw that out. What would be the best option?
Speaker 13: So this is specifically infrastructure funding and the $7 million. It's carryover from Measure eight. But what I would be happy.
Speaker 4: To do in a strategic planning, though.
Speaker 13: That's the first part. The second part. What I would be open to doing through a friendly is to itemize that for the next BOC meeting. For us to look at rolling that into what other options we have for the upcoming fiscal year that work.
Speaker 4: Sure. Can I also hear from my city manager as well? Or Grace, our budget manager. Yes. So the year end performance report includes recommended uses of both measure a surplus and general fund surplus that's available. So recommendations on the uses of general fund surplus and measure is is in the report for council to discuss.
Speaker 13: So I guess to do the 52,000, we would have to defend something else in the report because all of the funding has been associated. Is there a specific thing you'd like to move money from into?
Speaker 4: So maybe let me ask this question instead to kind of pull back. And what was the because now that it is a city wide initiative, I would like to know what kind of plan we have in terms of funding that we want to kind of move forward. We've already had two roundtables. This is a very important initiative, and I'm just wondering where where this might be on the priority list?
Speaker 2: I think it is a priority. I think we have teams that are working without. At this stage, though, we have not been proposing to bring on board a consultant or anything for the digital divide. If that was something that city council wanted to do, here are the dollars tonight or in A or C meeting. They can reallocate that. But certainly it is something that our Technology Services Department continues to work on and it's a high priority of them.
Speaker 4: Okay. So perhaps I'll just agenda is that separately, we'll move forward tonight and then we'll have two separate discussions on what we can do going going forward. But thank you very much.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Councilman. Councilman, Mongo.
Speaker 13: Here's.
Speaker 5: Councilwoman Pierce.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 7: I I wanted to follow up on that question. Since it's digital inclusion, none of that could come from Measure eight. It would all have to come from general fund, is that correct? Because it's a consultant for.
Speaker 2: Some measure, A is for public safety by the resolution of the council, public safety and infrastructure.
Speaker 7: Sure. I think digital inclusion is infrastructure. But I just wanted to clarify. But I also support if you're going to bring that back, we can talk about it. But that was I was just queuing up for that.
Speaker 2: And I did want to point out that the the technology and an innovation commission will actually be returning to you with a report on a lot of the digital divide strategies that we that should be available next week. And that kind of lays out a roadmap. We don't have funding associated with those yet, but we would if the council really is excited by that, we would then take that and put that into an implementation plan.
Speaker 7: And I did. I have one other question on the Sunday library hours. I just know that we talked about the main library when it's open having Sunday library hours. So I just want to echo and make sure that that doesn't get lost. Okay. Thank you.
Speaker 5: All right. Thank you very much, Councilman Austin.
Speaker 3: I second the motion. I'm glad that we can actually talk about carryover and surplus from the previous year, particularly what it measure, eh? I see a number of great projects that will be funded, you know, during our B or C meeting. I certainly reiterated Park Equity and I certainly hope that we can continue along that that along that cord when we are looking at a future funding for for projects throughout the city. But it of the $7.9 million I think you know, a lot of the districts and a lot of our residents are going to see significant improvements in their neighborhoods.
Speaker 5: Thank you. Thank you, sir. Councilman Mongo, thank you.
Speaker 13: I really appreciate all the work that went into this. The city staff did excellent work. I know there's a lot of projects on the list and I know there's a lot of need. Park bathrooms are huge. We need to continue to invest in our infrastructure. If you were here for the presentation, you heard the billions of dollars in backlog of infrastructure that we have. And so this is a step in the right direction. And I appreciate my colleagues support on this item and the work of the boss.
Speaker 5: Thank you very much. Any comments apologizes? If not, would you please cast your vote?
