Questions for 6/12/17
Item E: Demands on Treasury
Page 12, bottom third: Check #1473 to V &V Manufacturing for $1006 for "Seal Beach Lion Coins
2017 "
Are the Lions going to reimburse the City for this expense?
Item H: Measure M2 Eligibility Package
Attachment C, Maintenance of Effort, has a table that references "FY 2016/2017" but then
uses pages from the 17/18 proposed budget.
Should the title of this table be changed to FY 17118?
The Maintenance of Effort table lists the General Fund expenditures in FY 17/18 for Storm
Drains at $459,500 and for Street Maintenance at $598,000. However, over half of these
operational expenditures are being paid for by a $550,000 transfer from the Gas Tax fund for
"overhead street and storm maintenance" (see page 168 of Proposed Budget).
Can use of Gas Tax funds for operational overhead count towards our M2 Maintenance
of Effort?
Similarly, a portion of the $598,000 budgeted for Street Maintenance is being paid for by a
transfer into the General Fund from the M2 Fund. Page 16 of the Proposed Budget indicates
that $233,700 of M2 Funds are to be used to pay for "Senior Bus and street maintenance."
How much of the $233,700 M2 money will be used for street maintenance?
Doesn't this portion of M2 transfer need to be deducted from the $598,000
"Maintenance of Effort" money for Street Maintenance that the City is reporting to
OCTA?
Item I: Fees
The staff report references the "automatic CPI increase delegated to staff by the City Council
pursuant to Resolution 6249." However, the wording of 6249 makes no reference to any
"delegation" to staff or discretion regarding which fees to increase by the CPI. It simply states in
Section 4 that "the fees charged by the City for providing services be adjusted annually on July
e of each year in accordance with the increase in the CPI."
Therefore, why are the business license fees not being increased by the CPI?
During the discussions in the past year regarding "Incidental Business Activities' (i.e.,
entertainment permits), staff repeatedly referred to the availability of a "one -day business
license."
Where is this in the Fee Schedule?
