STINSON SISTANT CI � MANAGER SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2008-09 BUDGET INSTRUCTIONS The preparation of the FY 2008-2009 budget presents a significant challeng city. As you are all aware, we are experiencing a significant downturn in construction and development activity, which results in significant reductions ii City revenue sources, particularly those in the General Fund. Also negatively are park development fees, transportation development fees, and sewer cc fees. There is afso significant fiscal uncertainty in Sacramento. The Governor': currentiy proposes reductions to booking fee reimbursements, reductions t funding and delays in gas tax payments. The Governor's budget propos; pending and is likely to be revised over the upcoming months. Additionally, � potential threats to significant sources of City revenues that still remain uncerl likely we will not know for many months what the final actions of the Governo State Legislature will be. This year's budget preparation will, therefore, be sic different than what has occurred in recent years. General Fund Circumstances Sales tax revenues have been declining for the past 4 quarters. The mo quarter revenues dropped 13% below prior year amounts. On an annualiz revenues have declined about 5% from prior year. While we anticipated an E slowdown and drop in sales taxes, the revenues have dropped faster than expE we are currently projecting a$3 million budget shortfall in 2007-08. Preliminary . . .... .. . .. , �-1--- Development Services permit revenues currently are projecting a$2.2 million b� revenue shortfall. This dramatic decline in development activity and revenues n a reduction in associated workload demands for development related services. Growth of staff to meet population increases should not be assumed. The ad new positions will be considered only in extraordinary circumstances. New � that are grant funded or which generate revenues may be considered. It is unc that having fewer employees will make it more difficult to keep pace with gro may result in longer response times for all services. Other Considerations There are several additional areas of concern regarding the upcoming Although pension costs for 2008-09 will remain consistent with those for the fiscal year with some slight changes, new accounting procedures and large u liabilities in both the pension and retiree medical charges will drain significant rE that could otherwise be applied to operations. Collective bargaining agreement Police unit, Blue and White unit, and Fire unit MOU's are currently being negoti� Staff is currently anticipating the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG; for FY 2008-09 to be reduced by 3% compared to FY 2007-08, based on estima HUD and pending final federal action. The passage of the State bond measures last year has provided some additio funding and a variety of grant opportunities for City transportation, housing, par� resources-related infrastructure improvements and capital projects. The tir� allocation of funding for these projects could still be affected by pending StatE actions. Additionally, the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) projec� continuing their development and progress. The relocation of departments to the City Hall North (Borton Petrini Conron has begun and will continue over the next year as leases expire and space con become available. Departments will continue to plan for moves to the new where applicable. Summarv of Environment It appears that the overall financial environment will require significant lir departmental budget requests compared to the past few years. This wil departments to carefully document and justify service demands and real i preparing their budget requests. Departments will continue to be expected smarter" and find alternative means of addressing service needs. ■ The property tax is projected to grow at 7% for FY 2008-09 compared to revenues estimated by the County Auditor-Controlier. ■ Motor vehicle in lieu growth is projected at 7% for FY 2008-09 basec growth in property tax noted above, which makes up a majority of this rev ■ The population estimate for the year is 323,213. BudAet Guidelines Due to uncertainties regarding our declining revenues and the potential for Stat+ captures, we will be preparing the budget in a very volatile and changing envii In order to provide alternates for dealing with a variety of budgetary scenaric may result, departments should, in addition to their base budget submittal, prov of budget alternates to achieve reductions within their department budget in thE fund of 5% and 10%, should they become necessary. This task should be ; addressed by each department, as the Legislature could make decisions that n� impact us late in our budget process when little time for analysis will remain. Personnel: Personnel requests, either full-time or temporary, should reflect the pri� justification of each position relative to the constrained budget environmE positions will only be considered where there are extraordinary circurr Departments should carefully review any temporary positions budgeted t or eliminate those which are not critical to operations. Fee or non-Gene supporied positions may be considered based on demonstrated demands and the continued availability of funding. Justifications for � requests will be very critically reviewed. PERS and medical insurance rate adjustments have been included projections. Negotiated salary and wage adjustments will be includE budget salary projections by the City Manager's Office as they are deterr Any vacant development related positions will need to be assessed department to determine the need to fill them. Identification and analysis and other non-General Fund positions which may become vacant shoul� done and plans to address changes to staffing needs based on the dev� decline should be presented as part of the department budget propos applicable. Each department should carefully analyze their overtime, employee traii a........I AVM/�M.a�+� �re�. �n.�! �rlo.,+�fi� nnecihlca rc�r9� �r_tinnc Capital Improvements: This year there will be a very limited amount of funds available for Capit� projects compared ta last year. Grant funding or other dedicated funding are encouraged for capita! projects. Since revenues such as Trans Impact Fees, Park Development Fees and other sources related to devE activity have declined, departments will be required to demonstrate tl revenues are available to fund any capital improvements requested. Departments will want to focus on completing existing projects alreac pipeline such as the Sports Village, Mill Creek, etc., rather than initia projects, in most instances. There will also continue to be significant capital projects planned as p� funding for the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP). State Bo obtained through grants should also be pursued for capital project fundii available. Departments should submit requests for critical capital impr projects with funding sources identified. These budget parameters will also be applied for interdepartmental service fur as motor vehicle replacement, Information Technology expenses, and renovations, among others, where there is a secondary General Fund impact. City of Bakersfield employees continue to be creative and resourceful as we c the growth of our community. As we have done in the past under similar circurr we encourage all employees to bring forward any ideas which may resul savings or suggestions to enhance revenues which can positively affect th� situation. This year's budget will present a significant challenge in addressinc goals, the continued development and improvement of our community, expectations of the citizens we serve. The BudAet Process The Budget Manual is available on the intranet and I encourage you to resource. Any ideas as to how to improve the Manual are appreciated. Jus your ideas to any of the business managers or John Stinson with the City N Office. The budget process has already begun with the distribution of the payroll � report to the Business and Budget Managers for each department.

There were statistical increases related to robbery (+14.6%) and aggravated � (+33.1 %). The robbery increase can be in part attributed to a rise of street le� which may be related to economic conditions. The aggravated assault increa impacted by a large increase of domestic violence assaults. The department also expressed significant statistical decreases in homicide (- rape (-4.7%) and burglary (-5.1 %). The decrease in homicides is based on a reduction in gang related homicides for 2007. Over a two year period, homici� general, have decreased over 51 %. Department staff will continue to focus on all gang related crime and crimes c� career criminals. We have also re-activated our pomestic Abuse Response i (D.A.R.T.) working with representatives from the Alliance Against Family ViolE hopes of reducing the aggravated assaults related to domestic violence. Additionally, in our on-going development of our crime analysis unit; we will b� crime data and trends throughout the day. Instead of weekly crime updates tc detectives; they will receive daily crime information. This will also enable divi: commanders to address crime issues in various parts of the city more quickly; catching the involved criminals or preventing further criminal offenses.
