ITEM: Ordinance No. 10-10584
First reading of Ordinance No.1 0-1 0584 amending the 2010 budget.
BACKGROUND:
State statute provides that the annual budget may be amended, provided that the prescribed notice
and hearing process is followed. The budget may be amended to account for additional revenues or
unanticipated expenses; however, taxes may not be changed by an amendment process. The notice
for this hearing has been timely published. This year, there are several amendments necessary to
complete the year.
General Fund: General Fund expenses, net of reserves, will increase from $35,156,535 to
$35,406,535. This increase of $250,000 is attributable to two operating transfers to other funds.
In February 2010, the Municipal Golf Course required a $50,000 supplement in order to maintain
positive fund balances through the first quarter. This supplement was authorized by the City
Commission on February 22; however, the formal budgetary change has not yet been made.
The Bicentennial Center Fund will require supplementation of $200,000 in order to complete the year.
This will increase the budgeted transfer from the General Fund to the Bicentennial Center fund from
$475,000 to $675,000 for 2010.
Other expenditure items in the General Fund, taken as a whole, seem to be on course.
General Fund revenues, due largely to malaise of the sales tax, will likely be about $300,000 under
expectation. End of year fund balance will be about $3,400,000, which is at our targeted level, but
about $500,000 less than anticipated at our mid-year adjustments.
Special Highway (Gas Tax) Fund: Gas tax fund expenditures are being revised upward from
$1,706,071 (net of reserves) to $2,399,628. This is primarily due to aggressive micro-surfacing and
mill and inlay projects. The aggressive approach this year was made possible by significant balances
carried forward from prior years, in addition to current revenues.
Arts and Humanities Fund: This year is the first full year of operating the fund. Budgeted operating
expenses are being amended from $859,619 to $1,012,988. Operations are financed by support from
the General Fund ($489,358) as well as fees, grants and donations ($490,377). The City general
supplement is not being altered by the proposed amendment. It is worthy of note, that if the year
completes as projected, current expenditures will exceed current revenues by approximately $34,000.
Fund balances are sufficient to cover the difference; however, this issue will need to be addressed in
the 2011 - 2012 budget cycle.

Sales Tax Capital Fund: Expenditures for this fund, net of reserves, are proposed to be increased
from $3,600,000 to $4,868,751. We anticipate the cash carryover to 2011 to be on the order of
$334,175. The bulk of this change is due to additional street work, specifically the reconstruction of
Marymount Road ($1,000,000) and Pacific Avenue ($200,000). There were also smaller changes due
to the acquisition of SCBA gear for the Fire Department and the Levee Recertification study mandated
by FEMA.
Sales Tax Economic Development Fund: The budget for this fund is being increased to the
maximum resources available. To date this year we have spent a total of $450,000 on an original
budget of $315,444. Commitments from this fund are dependant on economic development
opportunities, and on recommendations from the SEDIC committee. The budget is amended to
account for total resources, $1,412,621. This practice will be carried forward to future years in order to
eliminate the need for multiple budget amendments each year.
Golf Course: The Golf Course budget is being amended to accommodate the supplemental transfer
of $50,000 that was authorized in February 2010, and considering year to date expenditure and
revenue performance. Expenditures, net of budgeted reserves, are expected to be about $806,693.
Receipts, includinq the general fund supplement, will be about $833,407, presuming a relatively
normal December. Own source receipts thus do not quite cover expenditures. We anticipate that
cash carryover into 2011 will be about $62,000. This is less than the budgeted level of $100,047.
Unless we have a notably successful first quarter, this fund is likely to require supplementation in the
first quarter of 2011.
Bicentennial Center: This operation is in a state of flux and uncertainty, pending the outcome of
consideration of long term objectives. On the expense side, operating expenses are now estimated
at $1,757,140. The original budget for comparable items was $1,758,264. This item is thus very
close to the amounts originally budgeted.
The original budget included a $10,000 amount for minor capital; the amount actually spent to-date is
$15,318. This is consistent with the City Commission direction to invest up to $200,000 per year in
facility maintenance and operational capital to support the long term sustainability of the facility.
The original budget included a $200,000 item for debt services. This was intended to provide for
payment on the bonds to be issued for the current major capital improvements to the Center, including
heritage hall, parking lot improvements, riser rehabilitation, etc. Bonds were ultimately issued in 2010,
with the first payment due in 2009. As a result, the funds from the Transient Guest Tax intended for
this purpose were re-programmed into the improvement fund, and used to reduce the amount of
bonds issued, in place of a principal and interest payment in 2010. This change affects both revenue
and expense items, reducing both by $200,000.
Finally, the expense budget as amended provides for an estimated carryover into 2011 of $82,852.
The original budget anticipated a balance forward of $36,365.

On the revenue side of the budgetary equation, the balance carried forward from 2009 was reduced
from the original budget of $139,129 to the actual amount of $63,088. Service charges have been
reduced from an estimated $787,000 to $750,298.
The operating transfer from the Transient Guest tax has been reduced from $600,000 to $366,252. Of
this amount, $200,000 is the result of reprogramming the special one cent of the tax dedicated to the
capital project improvements from the operating fund to the improvement fund. The remainder
($33,748) represents a decline in the production of the tax for 2010.
Minor revenues (interest and other) are projected to decrease from $3,500 to $672.
Finally, the proposed amendment provides for a $200,000 increase in the transfer from the General
Fund to provide for continued operations of the Center.
FISCAL NOTE: These adjustments are largely recognition of prior decisions. Fiscal impacts include
an increased level of Capital improvements commiserate with resources available, continuity of
operations for the Golf Course and Bicentennial Center, and a reduction in anticipated cash balances
for the General Fund.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
