June 14, 2016 <br /> <br />(e) All taxes/fees associated with the property and/or the use shall be paid when <br />due. <br /> <br />REVOCATION OF PERMIT: <br />4. Violation of any of the above conditions may <br /> <br />serve as grounds for revocation of the use permit by City Council.” <br /> <br />Ayes: Cherry, Edmonds, Meeks, Psimas, Whitaker, Wright <br />Nays: None <br /> <br />- City Manager’s Report - <br /> <br />16 - 183 - Adoption of an ordinance to transfer $326,000 within the FY 2015-16 <br />General Fund Operating Budget for the purpose of funding state-mandated <br />Children’s Services Act (CSA) services for at-risk youth and their families. <br /> <br />Vision Principle: Efficient Service Delivery. <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br /> The Children's Services Act (CSA) is a law enacted in 1993 that establishes a <br />single state pool of funds to purchase services for at- risk youth and their families. The <br />state funds, combined with local community funds, are managed by local interagency <br />teams who plan and oversee services to youth. <br /> <br /> Per State Code, the city is mandated to provide services for at-risk youth that <br />meet specific eligibility requirements. The state covers 73.87% and the local match is <br />26.13%. <br /> <br /> In past years the city has reduced the CSA budget from $5.3 million in FY 2014 <br />to $2.9 million in FY 2015 to $2.7 million in FY2016. FY 2015 actual expenditures were <br />$3.5 million. <br /> <br /> The city has savings from vacancies and unexpected revenue from a land sale to <br />cover the additional funds needed for CSA services. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br /> As with any large organization, the annual budget is a plan that may require <br />adjustments as circumstances change. Sound financial policy is to cover increase in <br />expenses with savings from other expenditure accounts or with increases of current <br />year revenue. <br /> <br /> <br /> The budget transfer recommended willcover increases of costs with current year <br /> <br />savings. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br /> <br /> Current year revenue and expenditures savings will cover the transfer amount <br />needed. <br /> <br />Recommended Action: <br /> <br /> Adoption of the ordinance. Vision Principle: Efficient Service Delivery. <br /> <br />Next Steps Following Council Action: <br /> <br /> The finance department will complete the necessary budget adjustments. <br /> <br />1.
