    S U M M A R YThis report presents amendments to the FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11 City budget for the GeneraPurpose Fund, to address bud getary shortfalls as well as to approve budget-neutral "clean-up"- _items. The following key messages are contained in this document.

    ContextThe severity ofthe City's fiscal crisis is truly unprecedented.Less than four years ago, in FY 2006-07, the City collected over $471 m ilhon inGenera! Purpose Fund (GPF) revenues, and by year-end had nearly $56 million inreserves. That year alone, the Real Estate Transfer Tax revenue was at $61.5 m illion.In FY 2010-11, the City is anticipated to have only $10.4 million in GPF reserves byyear-end, and is projected to collect just under $400 million in revenues by year-end.The R eal Estate Transfer tax collection is now at a low $28 million. Collectively, this

    discretionary budget is just 8 percent oft he total GPF appropriation; (b) the reservesare minimal; and (c) "easy" reven ue fixes, such as fee increases and uses of one-timeunrestricted fiands, have already been exhausted. At this point, balancing the budget .structurally will require a combination of new taxes and significant cuts to publicsafety departm ents. Public safety accounts for 66.5% oft he General Purpose Fundbudget, and if a 15% (as an example) across-the-board cut were to be applied to non-safety departments only (also excluding debt service), only $15 million in savingswould be generated w hile decimating key recreation, senior, library and internalprogra ms. Moreo ver, cuts to youth and library programs w ould violate localMe asures K/OO /D and Q. At the same time, a 15 % cut to public safety departmentswould generate an additional $42.6 m illion in savings, but would violate provisions ofMeasure Y.Proposed Balancing Measures

    Th is bud get propo ses new taxes, sale and tran sfer of assets, use of restricted onetime fun ding , and limited re duc tions to spend ing. Further spending cuts wouldrequire a combination o f (a) policy decisions on shutting down certain key services;(b) changes to local measures that mandate minimal youth, library and violenceprevention spending; and (c) negotiations with the unions.

    F I S C A L I M P A C TThe remaining budget shortfalls anticipated in the General Purpose Fund (net of previousCouncil actions) are $10.4 million in FY 2009-10 and $42.6 m illion in FY 2010-11.

Components ofthe FY 2010-1J g apare: ,

    - Revenue shortfall of $25.6 million, comprised primarily of Sales, Property, UtilityConsum ption, Transient Occupan cy and Parking Tax Revenue, as well as Fund Transfers.Of this amount, $11.2 million is the projected new revenue deficit.- An additional $9 million of budgeted, but unrealized, income from the Coliseum ticket

    surcharge. ($4.5 million shortfall was accounted for in the FY 2009-10 budget gap.)- Additional Police Department spending of $5.5 million related to sworn recruitments,extended negotiated settlement contract and anticipated overtime over-expenditure. TheDepartment of Hum an Resources w ill expend an anticipated $1.2 m illion related tosworn recruitm ents. Projected spending for next year assumes that overtime spendingwill continue at the FY 2009-10 level and an increase in police academy costs (a fullversus a lateral academy is planned). The FY 2009-10 projected year-end Police

    overspending is $3.7 million; no DH RM spending on police academies is assumed for thecurrent fiscal year.- $1.8 million in other departments, including $0.7 million in anticipated unrealized centraservices overhead recovery; $0.6 million in additional Self-hisurance Liability cost; $0.6m illion in anticipated unre alized recoveries and persoimel services budg eting error. FY2009-10 projected year-end spending assumes all ofth e foregoing except for theadditional Self-Insurance Liability cost.- Net benefit (fringe and retirem ent) rate savings of $0.5 million. iBalan cing pro po sals for FY 2010-11 totaling $43.1 million to address this projected year-end deficit, summarized generally below.

    - Program reductions and eliminations, including the Linkages Grant Match and theHom eless Mobile O utreach programs in the Department of Human Services ($0.3million).- Grant reductions of varying levels ($ 1.9 million), including

    - 25 % reductions to City institutions, including the Oakland Zoo , Chabot Space &Science Center and Children's Fairyland.

    - 50 % reductions for City -affiliated entities (AIDS Prevention & EducationInitiative, Hacienda Peralta and the City/County Collaborative on C hildren &Youth) and non-profit organizations (Fam ily Bridges, Fruitvaie Senior Center,Vietnam ese Senior Services, Fam ily Bridges, Fruitvaie Senior Center, Cypress-Mandela Training Center, Symphony in the Schools, Women's Business Initiative,Jack London Aquatic Center, Oakland Asian Cultural Center, OUSD AcademiesProgram, Artists' Grants and the Day Laborers' Program).- 100% reduction for the Oakland School ofth e Arts.

    - Propo sed new revenues and other financing, including a proposed new public safetyparcel tax and increased and expanded utility consumption tax; an increase in the parkingcitation rev enue expected from b etter collection rates); one-time and ongoing annualproceeds from the sale of billboard space to Clear Charmel, Inc. (which is the subject of aseparate staff report included on the April 1, 2010 special City Council agenda);anticipated new grant revenue to offset firefighter persoimel services costs; and stricterenforcement of false alarm fines ($24.1 million). Proposed new taxes would need to beapproved by the voters; this notion is discussed later in the report.

At the time the FY 2009-11 budget was adopted. Golden H andshakesavings were applied to agencies/departments based on eligible retirees' organizational' hom es. Eventual retiree s' actual organizational hom es differed - in some cases, widely -from home locations. This action seeks to re-allocate budgeted savings expectationsbased on the agencies/departments in which Golden H andshake retirements actuallyoccurred.

    Both of these actions are budget neutral and are reflected in the attached legislation.

    DISCUSSIONAdd itional Shortfalls Projected for Rem aind er of FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11Lingering w eakness in the U .S. and California economies continues to play out in localgovernment revenues. Christopher Thom berg, principal economist at Beacon Econom ics andChief Economist for the California Department of Finance, offers a dim outlook for localgovernm ents: recovery will com e but revenues will be anemic and will not likely reach thelevels experienced in the mid-2000s. The City 's major GPF revenues - property tax, sales tax,real estate transfer tax , busin ess license tax, and services charges (parking me ters) - are drivenby the real estate market and consumer spend ing. Weakness in consumer spending is likely tocontinue. Although consum er spending rose, wage growth was stagnant. Jerry Nickelsburg ofthe UCL A A nderson F orecast expects to see unemployment to remain in the double-digitsthrough 2 012 . W hile there is Job growth anticipated this year and next throughout the state, realreductions in unemploym ent are not likely as discouraged workers (w ho've left the w orkforce)and delayed entrants (recent college graduates who sat out the recession) will rejoin theworkforce upon their realization of improved labor markets. Real estate has shown some signsof recovery, howeve r, the imderlying drivers of this recovery - federal and state government

Last year, the total decline inAlameda County valuation w as $4.5 billion. This year, due to incomplete data, they areestimating the decline to be $4 billion, about the same level of decline as last fiscal year. Staffwill report any revisions to this projection in the Third Quarter Revenue and ExpenditureAnalysis to be scheduled for late May 2010.Sales Tax(FY 2009-10: $8.3 million total shortfall: no chanee from Feb 16'^ proiectionFY 2010-11: $5.3 million tot al shor t fall: no chang e from Feb Id"" proiectio n)Sales Tax revenue is projected to be $36.1 million in FY 2010-11, reflecting a decrease of $5.3million from th e adopted budge t. The projection is based on the large declines in receiptsreported in FY 2009 -10 due to the weak econo my and slowing consumer expenditures. BeaconEconom ics forecasted in March 2010 that consumer spending would be positive only in 2010,partially due to the federal tax cuts, but will be flat in 2011. However, key drivers of consumerspending do not support continued strength in consum er spending. It is impo rtant to note thatsales tax revenue received by the City lags actual activity by three to six months; therefore,consumer spending increases will not immediately materialize in City coffers. Slow recovery oemployment, a closely related indicator of consumer spending, is also forecasted.Utility Consumption Tax(FY 2009-10: $2.5 million new shortfall - $4 million tota l shortfallFY 2010-11: $2.6 million new sh ortfall ~ $4.1 million to tal sh ortfall)Utility Consum ption T ax (UC T) revenue is projected to be $50.8 million for FY 2010-11, a totaldecrease of $4.1 m illion from the adopted FY 2010-11 budget. The latest collection data throughFebruary indicated a decline in UCT in the current fiscal year; falling natural gas prices, reduceddemand among commercial users and weak telecommunications growth were cited as causes.

W hile reports are that occupanc y is up, average daily roomrates are down. According to the 2009 S mith Travel Services, Inc. report published byCalifornia Tou rism, average daily room rates in Oakland dropped by 12.5 percent in January2010 from same period last year, while occupancy increased by 9.3 percent. The O aklandConvention Visitors Bureau projects the decline in hotel utilization/occupancy rate will continueinto the second quarter of 2010 (April-June), but staff is conservatively not counting on thisuptick in FY 2010-11 revenu es. Oak land 's hotel industry is largely driven by business travelers.Thomburg (Beacon Economics) suggests that any strength in Oakland's hotel industry indicatorswill portend a rebound in employment.Park ine Tax(FY 2009-10: $0.95 million total shortfall: no chanee from Feb 16*^ proiectionFY 2010-11: $0.95 million tota l shortfall; no ch anee from Feb U"* p roiection)Parking Tax revenue is projected to be $7.5 million in FY 2010-11, a decrease of $0.95 millionfrom the adopted bud get. The decline in Parking tax revenue is due to continuing weakness intravel and airport parking. Airport parking com prises about 50% of total parking tax revenue.Oakland Airport passenge r traffic generally declined through January 2010. The weak airportparking traffic, weak spending and business employment forecast, is forecasted to depressparking tax in FY 2010-11.Licenses & Permi ts(FY 2009-10: new sho rtfall of $0.15 millionFY 2010-11: new sh ortfal l of $0.15 million)Licenses & Perm its revenue is projected to be $1.4 million in FY 2010-11, a drop of $0.15million from the adopted budget.

    Dan LindheimRE: Resolution Amending the PoUcy Budget for FY 2009-10 and Midcycle Policy Budget for FY 2010-11Page 9For FY 2010-11 no shortfall is anticipated because the (a) roving patrol is expected to be frillystaffed for the entire fiscal year and (b) Paylock vehicle boot program will be fully operational.Interes t Income(FY 2009-10: $0.36 million total shortfall: no chanee from Feb 16'^ proiectionF Y 2010-11: $0.36 million total shortfall: no chanee from Feb 16'" proiection) \Interest Incom e is projected to decrease from $2 million to $1.6 million in FY 2010-11. Interestearnings depend on a variety of factors, including funds available for investm ents, the level of 'interest rates, and cash flow status of all the City's funds. Although some economists believethat interest rates will in crease in the nea r future, staff does not project this upside due to thesepotentially offsetting factors.Service Charees(FY 2009-10: SI. 7 million new shortfall - $2.4 million tota l sho rtfallFY 2010-11: $1.6 million new shortfa ll - $2.7 million total sho rtfall)Service Charges revenu e is projected to be $46.5 m illion in FY 2010-11, a decrease of $2.7million from the adopted budget.Parking Meter revenue ~ nearly one-third ofth e Service Charges category is projected to be$12.5 million in FY 2010-11, a decrease of $1.5 million from the adopted Budget. Severalfactors contribute to this decrease, including Council-approved cancellation of extended parkingmeter hours with n o replacement revenue identified ($0.33 million); meter vandalism, and thecontinuing weak economy ($1.19 million). Meter usage in parts of downtown /uptown Oaklandhas also declined as a result of meter jams caused by vandals, theft of coins from single spacemeters, and the sluggish econom y. As unemployment rem ains high and consumer spending isanticipated to w eaken, m eter usage has been neg atively affected by fewer people driving andparking downtown.Various other user fees declined by a total of $1.2 million, including the following fees: Parks

    Fu nd Transfer *(FY 2009-1 0: $0.8 million new shortf all - $0.8 million tot al sho rtfallFY 2010-11: $0.96 million new shortfall - $1.04 million total sh ortfall)Fund Transfer revenue is projected to reach $11.9 million in FY 2010-11, a decrease of $1.04million from the adopted budg et. The decre ase is attributed to declining assets associated withthe pension annu ity fiind. This is due to an updated calculation o fth e mem bership compositionofthe fiind. These calculations have resulted in less revenue transferred to the fund.Additionally, a smaller portion ofthe decline $0.08 million - is due to budgeted revenue fromPacific Renaissance residential nightly parking that will not m aterialize.

    Proposed Balancing Measures for FY 2009-10Staff projects that a current-year budget gap of $10.4 million remains after Council balancingactions through A pril 1, 2010 . After closing a GP F budget deficit of $91-97 million as part ofFY 2009-11 budget approval, staff projected a mid-year shortfall totaling $23.7 million in FY2009-10 . Staff presented balancing m easures for FY 2009 -10, and Council approved all but $4.8million of solutions to this deficit. Th ese me asures included a com bination of budget transfersand spending reductions. The revised projection for a mandatory pass-through projection andCo unc il's April 1, 2010 approval of reductions to elected offices' GP F budgets provides apa rtia($0.4 million) offset to this remaining deficit (see table below).

    To balance the remaining FY 2009-10 deficit, staff proposes (a) restructuring the C ity's pensionobligations using $5.5 million deferred pension credits and (b) either selling or bonding againstthe Medical Hill Garage to generate an additional $5 m illion. These proposals are describedbelow and presented in Exhibit A-1 attached to the legislation.- Re stru ctu ring o f pen sion obligation s using deferred pension credits; these are comprisecof non-General Purpose funds that exist for the sole purpose of paying the City'sretirement obligations. Staff is currently researching how these funds could be used by

    the City to pay its pension ob ligations.- M edic al H ill Ga rag e was built in 1985. It is a five-level, 143,600 square-foot concreteparking structure with 47 7 marked parking stalls. The Alta Bates Medical Centercurrently operates the garage, and the City receives no revenuefi-om he facility. Staffhave been marketing the facility for sale; sealed bids for the garage are due March 31,2010, with a minimum bid of $5 million. If no desirable bids are received by thedeadline, the C ity can take over the garage operations, realize net annual reve nue, andbond against such reve nue to generate an upfi^ont amount of som e $5 million. Aninformafional report discu ssing asset sales for FY 20 09-11 is presented as a separate itemon the April 1, 2010 special City Council m eeting agenda.Proposed Balancing Measures for FY 2010-11For FY 2010-11, $43.1 million in asset sales; new revenues; grant reductions and eliminations;and additional staff reductions and transfers w ould be necessary to balance next year 'santicipated deficit and allow for a miniscule addition to reserves.

Council approved 20% reductions to many of theseinstitutions as part of budget adoption in June and July 2009; now, further reducfions arenece ssary. Staff contem plated a few different scenarios for such reduc tions, recognizingthat any level of reduction to these organizations would be difficult to absorb.Non etheless, additional reductions are unavoidable to balance the anticipated shortfall.The option proposed b y staff leaves intact between 50 to 75 % of most grantees'subsidies; the only exception is the O akland School for the Arts, whose subsidy isrecomm ended to be eliminated in FY 2010-11 (see table below).

    April 25, 2006Re: City Auditor Budget CutsPage'2of4However this general rule yields to the exception that the budget cuts may notprevent the performance of a city official's duties as enumerated by a city charter, (ScottV. Common Council,-supra, at 695 .) The Scott court recognized that in "ra re" casesjudicial interference with the legislative process is justified. A city counc il cann ot violateits own charter. The City Coun cil, by a budgetary act, could not ignore a charterofficer's charter mandated duties.

    \t is weW settled that a charter city may not act in con flict with itscharter. Any act that is violative of or not in compliance w ith thecharter is void. The city council cannot relieve a charter officer of thecity from the duties devolving upon him by the charter .. (Id., internalquotations and citations omitted, emphasis added.))n Scott, the trial court found that elimination of all of the city attomey'sinvestigators "materially impaired" the city attorney in the performance of his chartermandated prosecutorial duties. The investigators were "absolutely necessary" fo r theperformance of the city attorney's city charter func tions. The work o ft h e investigatorswas "inseparable",from the, city attorney's prosecutorial function, The San Bernardinocouncil's budgetary actions rendered the city attorney "unable to perform his statutoryfunctions" and "eliminate[d] [the city attorney's] ability to carry out the sworn statutoryand.charter requirements and duty mandated by the people of this city and the State ofCalifornia." (Id. at 694-695.)

    The appellate court upheld the trial court and held that the city could onlyeliminate charter mandated duties after it had eliminated non-charter mandatedprograms first. (Id. at 698, fn . 11.)Can the City Councit Cut Positions in the City Auditor's Office?
