Subject: Questions for tonight on Budget
Jill,
Here are some questions I had for the Budget review.
Sorry for the late notice.
Thanks,
Schelly
p. 15. What is asset forfeiture (Federal)? Seized drugs and property?
The DEA asset forfeiture program is a federal program where the proceeds from enforcement activity used to
facilitate federal crimes are shared amongst agencies. The primary mission of the asset forfeiture program is to
employ asset forfeiture powers in a manner that enhances public safety and security. This is accomplished by
removing the proceeds of crime and other assets relied upon by criminals and their associates to perpetuate their
criminal activity. Asset forfeiture has the power to disrupt or dismantle criminal organizations that would continue to
function if specific individuals were only convicted /incarcerated. This typically involves seizure of drugs and money
associated to criminal activity.
p. 19. Property tax: What are secured —This revenue is generated by the basic levy on all property , unsecured —This
revenue is generate primarily from "things" owned. For example, boats, equipment owned by businesses,
motorhomes, mobile homes, etc. and other property taxes There are various payments that are the result of
assessments on railroads, public utilities, pass- thru's, delinquent payments, etc.?
p. 22. Will the Centennial funds be spent this year? No. The accounting for the project will be wrapped up by fiscal
year end. The use of the excess will need to be directed in the next fiscal year.
p. 22. ACT implementation fee (waste management). What is this? This is $10,000 per month that is paid to the City by
Republic Services per the agreement.
p. 22. Joint Land use study ($145,000). Where is this from? The City received a grant through the State of California
from the Federal government.
p. 23. Tidelands rental of property: Is this from the Restaurant? This revenue is from rent received from Rivers'
End. Beach rentals? No.
p. 34. Where does the 7.7% calculation come from for Unassigned Fund Balance as a percentage of Operating
Expenditures (or what does that include). $ 2,767,985 is 7.7% of approximately $35,948,000 Thank you for asking the
question, when the number was corrected the percentage was not updated. The correct answer is 9.2% which is the
$2,767,985 divided by $30,184,900
p. 247. Signage improvement in CIP ($91,000 from State Gas Tax). Where is this project described? This project was
originally described in a prior CIP, see attached.
p. 259. Will appropriation limits have any effect on our ability to borrow money for infrastructure? No, the City is
significantly below the borrowing threshold.
Are fees for consultant for oil reserves in this budget? No
