Council Priority Workplan Compliance Statement:

Continue Fiscal Resilience, Fiscal Excellence and Fiscal Transparency is an adopted City Council Priority contained in the adopted Fiscal Year 2025-2027 City Council Priority Workplan, effective April 7, 2025

 

BACKGROUND

On January 16, 2024, the City’s FY 2023-24 General Fund Designated Reserves (GFDR) Fund Balance Amendment No. 4 was approved, which reflected all City Council approved allocations totaling $7,606,461 through December 31, 2023, previously adopted via Resolution 2023-165 on December 13, 2023.

 

Initially, the FY 2023-24 GFDR Fund Balance of $7,606,461 included projected proceeds from the sale of land, located on Vale Road from the Lytton Rancheria of California to the City of San Pablo in the amount of $3,050,000.  However, on December 28, 2023, the actual sale proceeds received by the City following close of escrow was $3,045,137 resulting in a difference of $4,863, and leaving an adjusted remaining unappropriated GFDR balance of $5,393,923 (i.e., $5,398,786 less $4,863).  Thereafter, the City Council approved Amendment No. 5 to the FY 2023-24 GFDR Fund Balance, accounting for all City Council-approved appropriations and the correct proceeds for the sale of land (via Resolution 2024-003 adopted on January 16, 2024), totaling the FY 2023-24 GFDR at $7,601,598.

 

Per FY 2024-25 Amendment No. 1. approved September 3, 2024, the following amounts totaling $2,430,319 were appropriated and expensed via City Council action (via adopted resolutions) during the FY 2023-24 period through June 30, 2024, resulting in a remaining unappropriated GFDR balance of $5,171,279 from the previously allocated expense items, as follows:
