If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call William Fox at (323) 583-8811 ext. 849. Very t ly yours, Deborah R. Juarez1� Records Management Assistant Enclosure c: William Fox Mark Whitworth Resolution No. 2014-32 EXclusivefy Industrial STAFF REPORT STAFF REPORT CITY ADMINISTRATION DATE: June 17, 2014 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator RE: Adoption of the Citywide Budget for Fiscal Year Recommendations It is recommended that the City Council: RECEIVED JUN 12 2014 CITY CLERK'S OFFICE 1. Find that adoption of the resolution proposed in this staff report is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment. 2. Adopt the resolution approving the citywide balanced budget for fiscal year 2014-2015, with estimated budgeted revenues of $343,302,500 and expenditures of $343,302,500. Backaround On May 6", May 20d', June 3`d, and June 17d', 2014, City Department Heads presented their departments' proposed budgets for fiscal year 2014-2015. Each department's presentation included, among other things, an organizational chart, expenditure (and revenue, where applicable) comparisons to prior years, staffing level comparisons to prior years, any new positions proposed to be created and filled in fiscal year 2014-2015, any changes to existing positions (i.e. increasing from part-time to full-time), and capital expenditures (where applicable). Proposed Staffing Chanties Since fiscal year 2007-2008, through layoffs and early retirements that occurred as a result of the economic recession, as well as some natural attrition, the City's workforce has decreased by 23%, going from 322 employees in 2007-2008 to 249 currently. One department experienced a 42.5% reduction during this seven-year period. Now that the recommended title and classification changes recommended by the recent citywide classification study have been implemented, as have most of the City's other good governance reforms, many of which significantly changed the landscape of the City and many of its basic operations and activities, the City is currently assessing its organizational needs and conducting succession planning on a citywide and departmental basis. Preliminary assessments have revealed the need to create certain new classifications and increase staffing levels in certain departments in fiscal year 2014-2015. In an attempt to balance these needs against the financial constraints of the proposed budget, a number of positions are proposed to start mid -fiscal year and/or to be filled on a part-time basis. Attached herewith as Attachment A is a schedule reflecting all additional personnel and related costs requested as part of the proposed citywide budget for fiscal year 2014-2015. All position allocations, including five new classifications/positions, were explained and justified by the respective Department Heads during their individual department presentations. The five new classifications are: Executive Assistant to the City Administrator, Human Resources Assistant, Public Works Foreman, Facilities Maintenance Worker, and Utilities Compliance Officer. The justification for each new classification was explained during the individual department presentations and the corresponding salary ranges are based upon the market data and methodology utilized in the citywide classification and compensation study. A separate staff report regarding an amendment to the citywide salary resolution to create these classifications and establish the corresponding salary scale for each, has also been submitted for the June 17, 2014 City Council agenda; adoption of that resolution is contingent upon adoption of the proposed budget for fiscal year 2014-2015. Updates Since Initial Department Presentations Since the initial Department Head presentations, staff made adjustments to the proposed budget as outlined in Attachment B. Efforts to further improve operational efficiencies and control costs will continue throughout fiscal year 2014-2015.
