Further, there will also be an additional fiscal impact to the City for building maintenance, custodial services, and utilities (water and electricity) if actual expenditures exceed current appropriations. The amount of these latter costs will not be known until the facility is operational. The DCA has identified prior year funds in the amount of $200,000 within the Capital Improvement Expenditure Plan from the Arts and Cultural Facilities and Services Trust Fund for the first year of security services. Should the Arts and Cultural Facilities and Services Trust Fund or revenues be unavailable to offset all of the above costs, there will be an impact to the General Fund. Ongoing funding will need to be identified as part of the City’s annual budget process. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations in the report are in compliance with the City’s Financial Policies in that future year expenditure requirements are being considered in this multi-year agreement.

In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and based on the facts and conclusions contained in said Engineer’s Report, the assessment levied on each parcel within the proposed District is proportionate to the special benefit derived from the improvements and activities that are to be provided.

Funding is available in the Business Improvement District Trust Fund 659 to pay the General Fund share of the assessment for the first operating year. Proposition 218 requires the separation of general benefits from the special benefits. The general benefit portion for the District is $30,102.48 (2% of the total budget) for the first year.
