AGENDA ITEM B-01
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Receive Presentation Regarding Fiscal Year 2022/23 General Fund and Measure L
Budget and Five-Year General Fund and Measure L Forecast
MEETING DATE: May 3, 2022
PREPARED BY: Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive presentation regarding Fiscal Year 2022/23 General Fund and
Measure L budget and the five-year General Fund and Measure L forecast.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff has planned a series of presentations to provide the City Council
and public an opportunity to review and comment on basic assumptions
within the FY 2022/23 budget to be proposed to Council later this month.
The draft budget will be released and made available for public review
Online once the draft is finalized. This session is designed to provide information on the general economic
conditions facing City staff and Council in allocating resources to most effectively deliver services, with
particular focus on the General Fund and Measure L.
Included in the presentation will be a discussion of Fiscal Year 2022/23 General Fund and Measure L
expenditures and the General Fund and Measure L five-year forecast. The forecast is a critical planning tool
for staff and Council to use to anticipate future resource or service level adjustments. The forecast presented
will include a baseline scenario that keeps normal operations with no change in service levels.
Future Council presentations will focus on other aspects of the City budget beyond the General Fund and
Measure L. The first opportunity for the City Council to adopt the Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget will be at its
regular meeting on June 1, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact from this informational presentation.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The draft General Fund and Measure L budgets for Fiscal Year 2022/23 is
projected at $73,892,170 for both revenues and expenditures.
