Pacifica's city budget? |
"... Assistant Manager Lorenzo Hines, Jr. made the budget presentation for City Council at its last meeting Apr. 25. The $30.7 million general fund budget is balanced. Expenses rose by five percent for all departments, except in public works where the increase is 14 percent, he said. Personnel changes include adding a position that is part time in finance and part time in human resources to process business licenses and to help with personnel issues. Public works and the wastewater department will be overseen by the same director who will divide his time between the two. A deputy director will be named in each department. An engineer will be hired in the wastewater department.
.... The city receives
County of San Mateo funding for excess ERAF, which the city officially
considers one time funds that can be used for any purpose. The city has
been paying the Pacifica Resource Center $83,000 per year using ERAF
funds. The excess ERAF account has $1.9 million in it, Hines said. It
will also be used for storm damage repairs.
.... With
a unanimous vote by City Council, the Pacifica Resource Center will be
funded out of this year’s excess ERAF, instead of next year’s, as
originally planned, making the funding source more definite and
immediate. Next fiscal year another decision will be made after studying
what options for funding are available on the county level.
.... There are increased
property tax revenues helping the city’s bottom line. The transient
occupancy tax from the hotels is strong, as well. There are departments
that pay for their own operation, such as Parks, Beaches and Recreation.
Fees have been set in the others, such as planning, to better recover
the costs of doing business. Hines proposed raising some fees." Read article.
