CITY OF "ENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Eric M. Soroka, ICMA -CM, City Manager DATE: October 14, 2011 SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending 2011112 Charter School Fund Budget 1't Reading November 1, 2011 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item IL 2nd Reading November 17, 2011 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item _— RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance amending the 2011/12 Charter School Fund Budget. The total amount of the amendment is $291,000. BACKGROUND The attached document has been prepared to address revenue reductions imposed by the State to balance the State Budget. Section 4.07 of the City Charter provides the " If at any time during the fiscal year, it appears probable to the Manager that the revenues available will be insufficient to the meet the amounts appropriated, he shall report to the Commission without delay, indicating the estimated amounts of the deficit and his recommendation as to the remedial action to be taken" At the time the Commission reviewed the Charter School Budget, I had advised the Commission that the State's budget was not finalized and although we anticipated a loss of revenue, we did not know the full impact and we would need to review after the first quarter of the new fiscal year. Since the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1, we have been monitoring the revenues from the State that fund the Charter School Budget. Based on our meetings with the School Board staff after the State budget was passed, I reported that it appeared that the revenues would be $300,000 less than what was budgeted. Now that the first quarter of the year is complete, the estimates confirm the $300,000 figure. Attached is a budget amendment that includes the recommended action to resolve the $300,000 loss. These amendments do not affect the classroom or impact any of the Memo to City Commission Page 2 programs provided at the school. A large portion ($206,000) of the expenditure reduction is associated with lower than expected health insurance premiums. REVENUES 1. Recognizes $306,000 loss in State funding imposed by the State Legislature. 2. Recognizes additional $5,000 from Misc. Revenues. 3. Recognizes $10,000 additional allocation from reserve funds to partially offset the loss of State funding. EXPENDITURES 1. Reduces health Insurance expenditures by $206,000 due to lower than expected health insurance premiums. 2. Eliminates part time vacant position of Special Projects Coordinator. 3. Recognizes $12,000 savings based on Charter School USA agreeing to freeze its Management Fee. 4. Lower than anticipated costs associated with computer equipment purchases resulted in a cost savings of $25,000. 5. The Contingency amount was decreased by $35,000. As always, we will continue to closely monitor the budget throughout the fiscal year. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
