SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL <br />1 <br />  <br />Responses to City Council Agenda Items – February 18, 2025 <br /> <br />Regular Meeting <br />Agenda Item #10 (Accept the FY 2024/25 Mid-Year Budget Update report and adopt a <br />resolution approving FY 2024/25 budget amendments) <br />1. What does the City do with investment disbursements and where do the <br />revenues go? <br /> <br />A. For investment earnings, the income is allocated to the General Fund and <br />other City funds such as the Water, Sewer, and Low-Income Housing Funds <br />based on the cash balance in each fund. The income is reinvested or used to <br />fund operations and capital projects. <br /> <br />2. Will we have expended all of the COVID relief funds prior to our next budget <br />cycle? <br />A. The City received $8.6M in COVID funds, which were spent on essential <br />services in FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23. <br /> <br />3. What are the "All other expenses" as indicated in Tables 5 and 6? (pages 5 & 6) <br /> <br />A. All other expenses include operating expenses such as salary and benefits, <br />contract services, utilities, supplies and materials, equipment, gasoline, and <br />other miscellaneous expenses. <br /> <br />4. How much were the matching grants that went toward the command and <br />evidence vehicles and how much came from other City funds? <br />A. The two command and crisis vehicles for the Police Department are on-site <br />but not ready to be deployed due to communications that need to be installed. <br />Both the command and crime scene investigation vehicles were purchased <br />from COPS/Law Enforcement Services Fund grant money with no City <br />contribution or matching funds. <br /> <br />5. What is the status of the library outreach vehicle? Are we still pursuing this with <br />our budget constraints? <br />A. The Library and Recreation Mobile Vehicle is anticipated to arrive as early as <br />this week, following nearly two years of manufacturing delays. This vehicle <br />was purchased through a supporting grant from the California State Library. <br />The outreach vehicle will not increase programs offered by the Library and <br />Recreation Department; instead, existing staff will take the programs the City <br />already offers to offsite locations to reach those most in need in our <br />community.
