Home My WebLink About07/31/2009 B A K E R S F I E L D CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM July 31 , 2009 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan TanR City Manager SUBJECT: General Information BUDGET UPDATE -� When we sent General Information out last Friday, it was based on the Senate passed version of the budget. The Assembly passed its version in the very late afternoon which took out the two- year, $4.8 million Gas Tax capture. The Governor signed the budget on Tuesday which contained no additional negative impacts to us. However, the state will be delaying our Gas Tax payments until January 2010. -� The enclosed articles from the San Francisco Chronicle still gives us cause for concern that this latest budget will not hold up for long. Finance experts believe that the state is headed toward another deep hole even if the economy recovers. Moody's believes the shortfalls in future years could be more than $15 billion. The budget signed by the Governor relies on roughly $8 billion in accounting maneuvers and questionable new revenue - and the Legislature understands a structural deficit still remains. The state's finances will face additional challenges when federal economic stimulus funds run out. These statements were mirrored in a conference call with the state's Finance Director earlier this week. Though we are able to come up for air for now, we will likely be a target again in the near future. The Police Department was notified by the Department of Justice that we are an award recipient of a COPS Hiring Recovery Program grant in the amount of $5,062,124. The grant will fund seventeen police officer positions for three years. A memo containing more information is enclosed. Though our original application requested funding for twenty police officers, this will certainly offset some of the impact of recent budget cuts. MISCELLANEOUS CITY NEWS The annexation of the Kimberly Avenue area was completed this week after more than four years of effort on the part of residents in the area and City staff. All interested parties have been notified that the City will now be serving the area and we sent out a letter to the residents this week welcoming them to the City. -� Staff attended a workshop held at CSUB in preparation for the upcoming US Census in 2010. A complete count is very important to the City since most funding formulas are based on the population information that is gathered through the Census. Honorable Mayor and City Council July 31, 2009 Page 2 Movies in the Park are resuming on Friday nights, thanks to a donation by Bright House Networks. All Friday night movies will be at the Bright House Networks Amphitheatre, and tonight's movie is "Bee Movie". Movies start at dusk around 8:00 p.m. -� The Special Enforcement Unit's Gang Violence Report for the month of June 2009 is enclosed. The Construction Division's weekly update of the roadway paving projects is enclosed. The Streets Division work schedule for the week of August 3rd is enclosed. RESPONSES TO COUNCIL REQUESTS Councilmember Hanson • Policy for hiring and retaining Reserve Police Officers. AT:rk cc: Department Heads Pamela McCarthy, City Clerk Roberta Gafford, Assistant City Clerk California could have$15 billion shortfalls Page 1 of 2 SFGaft.com California could have $15 billion shortfalls Richard Procter, Chronicle Sacramento Bureau Friday, July 31, 2009 (07-31) 04:00 PDT Sacramento - The plan signed by Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger this week to balance the state's budget could leave California facing shortfalls in future years of more than $15 billion, according to an analysis released Thursday by a major Wall Street credit rating firm. Moody's also criticized California's plan to take more than $1 billion from counties' redevelopment agencies this year to help close its $24 billion deficit, saying that could jeopardize those agencies' credit ratings. Moody's is one of several firms, including Fitch Ratings, that downgraded the state's credit ratings this month after legislators failed to pass a budget by the June 3o deadline. Emily Raimes, Moody's vice president and senior analyst, said that the plan adopted this week may stop the state's credit rating from dropping further,but added that eliminating the deficit"was achieved through a combination of cuts, raids on local funds, accounting maneuvers and one-time revenues that leave the state poorly positioned for budgetary balance in future years." State finance officials agree California will have a deficit-they're projecting a $7 billion to $8 billion shortfall for the next fiscal year-but they cautioned that Moody's analysis was based on preliminary information that will be updated within the next two weeks. H.D. Palmer, a Department of Finance spokesman, said that sometime in the next two weeks, department representatives will give a comprehensive budget briefing to credit rating agencies. "Once we do all that ...we let them crawl under the hood, kick the tires, and answer any and all questions they might have about the mechanics of the budget," Palmer said. State legislators said they were aware that the plan they adopted could lead to structural-or built-in- deficits in the future. "Clearly we knew there would be a structural deficit because there were still some gimmicks in that budget," said Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Thousand Oaks (Ventura County). Despite this, some lawmakers said that closing the $24 billion gap was their primary consideration and that future problems did not receive as much attention. Structural deficit "was not a major discussion when (Senate Republicans)were talking about the budget," said Sen. Mimi Walters, R-Tustin(Orange County). "The outlying years weren't a major focal point in the discussions, http://www.sfgate.com/egi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/07/31/MNJI191N7G.DTL&type=printable 7/31/2009 California could have $15 billion shortfalls Page 2 of 2 at least in our caucus." Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco, agreed. "Our main priority as a caucus was to stop the bleeding right now," she said. California's credit rating presents a problem for the taxpayers, said State Treasurer Bill Lockyer's spokesman, Tom Dressler. "The lower(California's) rating is,the more (taxpayers)pay on debt service,"he said. "Every additional dollar they pay to investors is a dollar they cannot spend to educate their kids, protect their communities, clean up their environment, fight fires ... all the crucial public services." Although California's credit rating hovers above junk-bond status at the moment, Dressler said investor interest seems normal. "There was actually very decent demand for California bonds in the secondary market (in the past month),"he said. "Folks continue to believe that despite the beating our reputation has taken nationally and internationally... California is a pretty sound investment." A more immediate impact of the plan signed this week will be felt in the state courts. In response to the budget cuts,the state Judicial Council voted to close all California courts on the third Wednesday of each month,from mid-September through June.The closures, authorized by a new state law,will save $94 million, the council said, and are part of a package of spending cuts and fee increases intended to bridge a $414 million gap in the judicial budget.

The budget deal Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to sign Tuesday relies on roughly$8 billion in accounting maneuvers and questionable new revenue that experts say will result in what the governor vowed never to do: kick the problem down the road. "Next year's budget will start with a very large shortfall even if there's a good recovery," said Steve Levy, a senior economist at the Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy in Palo Alto. And, Levy cautioned, the state's finances will face additional challenges when federal economic stimulus funds run out. The plan lawmakers approved Friday also includes more than $15 billion in spending cuts largely to education and health and welfare services. But among the accounting tricks and revenue the deal relies on are the following: -- $1.7 billion: Require taxpayers who make quarterly estimated payments to pay more in the first six months. The state's fiscal year begins July 1 so the change would lower revenues in the first half of the next fiscal year. -- $600 million: Increase income tax withholdings from paychecks.This would allow the state to grab more tax revenue earlier but would result in lower revenue later due to higher tax refunds or less taxes owed. -- $goo million: Shift state workers'June 30 pay date to July 1 so the cost is passed to the next fiscal year. -- $1 billion: Sell a portion of the State Compensation Insurance Fund's workers compensation insurance portfolio. State Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner has threatened to file a lawsuit over this plan. -- $1.9 billion: Take revenue from counties'property tax collections under the provisions of Proposition 1A that voters approved in 2004,but the state must repay counties with interest within three years. -- $1.3 billion: Take local redevelopment agencies'funds in exchange for extending the number of years the agencies could collect a portion of property taxes in their region. Cities and counties have threatened to sue the state over this plan. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/07/26/MN8118SPLP.DTL&type=printable 7/29/2009 Budget deal puts state in hole for next year Page 2 of 3 "Dogs bite people, celebrities get arrested and Sacramento politicians fiddle with the books," said Jack Pitney Jr., a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College. Pitney said there is little guarantee that the Golden State will be out of the woods any time soon. "One certainty in all of this is that California's problems are far from over,"he said. Jean Ross, executive director of California Budget Project, a progressive think tank in Sacramento, called the deficit deal a "mixed bag," adding, "It certainly means we are likely to have problems in the future." 'Some ugly gimmicks' Some legislative leaders who helped broker the deal also admit it's far from ideal. Senate Republican leader Dennis Hollingsworth of Murrieta(Riverside County), one of the main negotiators of the budget,wrote in a memo to his caucus last week that the agreement has "some ugly gimmicks." State Senate President Pro Tern Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said their options were limited because the leaders were trying to craft a plan that avoids new taxes without destroying the state's social safety net. "I don't like the idea of kicking the can down the alley,but doing a little of that is better than kicking a lot of people out on the street,"he said. Schwarzenegger and legislators were under immense pressure in the past weeks to eliminate the deficit as California began issuing interest-laden IOUs to pay contractors and others owed money to avoid completely running out of cash. To worsen matters,the state's credit rating plunged amid warnings that further delay in a deficit solution could exacerbate California's teetering economy by bringing state-funded transportation and other infrastructure projects to a halt,leaving thousands jobless. The state's financial problems began 18 months ago when revenue began steadily dropping as the U.S. economy faltered. Within the past year, lawmakers have had to deal with about $6o billion in revenue losses projected through June 2010. When Schwarzenegger spoke Friday about the deficit plan the Legislature passed,he acknowledged the economic uncertainty. The package"saves our state from financial ruin and from drowning in the fiscal abyss," Schwarzenegger said, adding that it's difficult to gauge when the state's struggling economy will improve. "We don't know how much longer our revenues will drop. We don't also know if we may not be back in the next six months to make further cuts,"he said. Cuts at prisons unclear Experts say another problem with the plan is that it includes a $1.2 billion cut to prison spending but doesn't specify how that will be achieved. littp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.egi?f=/c/a/2009/07/26/MN8118SPLP.DTL&type�printable 7/29/2009 Budget deal puts state in hole for next year Page 3 of 3 A significant chunk of the proposed prison cuts- $400 million-stem from Schwarzenegger's previous line-item veto from the February budget package to eliminate a$42 billion deficit,but the earlier prison cuts were never implemented. Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders last week promised they will tackle how to reduce prison spending when lawmakers return from their summer recess next month.

R. Rector, Chief of Police tw_ Subject: COPS Grant Award On July 28, 2009, the Police Department was notified by the Department of Justice, we were an award recipient of a COPS Hiring Recovery Program Grant. The Police Department will receive a grant award for 17 officer positions. The amount of the award over a three year period is $5,062,124. We will receive the grant award document by September 1 , 2009. As discussed when we submitted the grant proposal, the 17 officers will be divided into two Directed Community Policing Units (DPU), for East and West areas of command. The mission of these units is to combat crime in various neighborhoods which have crime and quality of life issues; working closely with the Crime Analysis Unit. A key component will also be preventing further crime through close contact with the community and Neighborhood Watch groups. I should note prior to the budget crisis and the elimination of 29 open officer positions, we operated one Directed Policing Unit for all of Metropolitan Bakersfield. The unit was very successful in the reduction of crime and calls for service for the Patrol Division. We expect the formation of two units for East and West areas of command to be very beneficial for the community, in our efforts to reduce and prevent crime.

RECTOR, CHIEF OF POLICE 'JO— :pity Manager's Office DATE: July 29, 2009 SUBJECT: Reserve Police Officers Council Referral No. 105 (Ward 5) Council Member Hanson requested that staff review a citizen request regarding the policy for hiring and retaining Reserve Police Officers. The Bakersfield Police Department Reserve Unit was established over 40 years ago to supplement and assist regular sworn police officers in their assigned duties. We have recently completed testing for Reserve Police Officers, and it is anticipated that two Reserve Officers will be added as a result of this process bringing our total compliment to 20. Historically, there have been those that have participated in the Reserve Program with the goal of volunteering. However, there have been those that have used the program as a gateway for a career in law enforcement. The Bakersfield Police Department Reserve compliment in 2004 was 36 officers, 9 have since been hired as full time police officers. The Bakersfield Police Department is preparing for the start of a Module III Police Academy in August 2009. Approximately 40 students are signed up to participate. The guidelines regarding the hiring and training of reserve police officers in California are at the direction of California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). Reserve peace officers are required by POST to meet the same selection standards (e.g. personal history investigation and medical and psychological screening) as full-time regular officers. The California Legislature has established three levels of reserve peace officer to provide flexibility to law enforcement agencies. The duties of the different levels of reserve officer are described below: Level III Level III reserve officers may perform specified limited support duties, and other duties that are not likely to result in physical arrests, while supervised in the accessible vicinity by a Level I reserve officer or a full-time regular officer. Additionally, Level III reserve officers may transport prisoners without immediate supervision. Training required: Module 111 (144 hours) Level 11 Level II reserve officers may perform general law enforcement assignments while under the immediate supervision of a peace officer who has completed the Regular Basic Course. These officers may also work assignments authorized for Level III reserve officers without immediate supervision. Training required: Modules III and Modules II (333 hours) CPT every two years (24 hours) Level I Level I reserve officers may work alone and perform the same duties as full-time regular officers. Training required: Regular Basic Course (664 hours) Field Training Program (400 hours) CPT every two years (24 hours) We will continue to take every opportunity to recruit, train, and hire Reserve Officers for the Department.
