2005-2006 BUDGET STUDY SESSION
8.1 (330-20)
City Manager Ambrose presented the Staff Report and advised that the purpose of City's
Annual Budget Study Session was to identify programs, services and projects Council
would like Staff to analyze in developing the 2005-2006 Operating Budget and Five Year
Capital Improvement Program. It was also an opportunity to provide Council with early
information regarding items that positively or negatively impact the City's Fiscal position
in 2005-2006 and to minimize last minute budget items for which there would be
insufficient time to evaluate. This session also provided community groups the
opportunity to make presentations and provide Council more information before
determining if the request should be included in the City's base level or higher service
level. A number of groups have submitted funding requests for 2005-2006.

The City also received additional requests from Imagine Performing Arts and Livermore
Police Department. After the agenda was prepared, Staff received another funding
request from the Alameda County-Wide Homeless Continuum of Care Council.
City Manager Ambrose gave the following analysis of anticipated future impacts on the
FY 2005-2006 Budget:
REVENUE
1. Effects on the Economy - The State was anticipating another budget deficit for
this fiscal year. The key for local government is whether Prop lA will hold.
2. Property Tax - The City will be entering the second year of "Give Back" to the
State. Staff anticipates the tax roll to go up about 10.3%; therefore, property tax
would be up about that amount.
3. Building Pennit Fees - The City is doing very well in 2004-2005, and Staff
anticipates the City will exceed its revenue estimate. Many residential builders
have been pulling permits and will be working off those permits during 2006-
2007. The City will have the inspection cost next year but not the revenue for
those projects.
4. Sales Tax - Staff is still analyzing the 4th quarter sales tax data and anticipated that
in the next fiscal year Trumark, Enea, and Shamrock Village retail centers will be
completed and a portion of the year of sales tax will be received.
5. Booking Fees - The State agreed to reimburse local governments in 2004-2005 for
booking fees. The State will not be reimbursing these fees in 2005-2006. There
may be potential to minimize or reduce the amount the County will charge but this
is still not completed.
6. Charges for Services - The City requested to undertake a study to evaluate
whether fees for services throughout the city are adequate. The evaluation is
expected to be completed this spring.
EXPENDITURES
For next years' expenditures, the City's population is increasing and the inrrastrncture is
increasing in tenns of streets, street miles, signals, and landscaping fees. Major facilities
such as the Senior Center, Emerald Glen Phase III (a portion of the year) will increase
maintenance costs. Police and Fires cost are anticipated to go up as well.
