Key Projects and Initiatives
• Resolving structural deficit is key to
funding Key Projects and Initiatives…
– Ice Rink
– Urgent Care
– Park/Community Center Improvements
– Open Space
– Transportation Improvements
– Public Facility Enhancements
Budget Reduction Considerations
Target 95% expenditures
• Hold vacant positions and evaluate personnel
requirements
• Improve internal processes
• Reorganize for efficiency
• Lock in natural gas purchases to take advantage of
lower prices
• Delay investments in large replacement purchases
• Re-evaluate frequency of services
• Work with vendors to negotiate reduced rates
• Identify and consolidate services across the
organization
• Voluntary Furloughs
Summary
• Historic Budget Estimates:
– Revenues generally higher at year end
– Expenses generally lower at year end
• Current Structural Deficit:
– Revenues are decreasing
– Expenditures are increasing
– Resulting in estimated gap (deficit) of $10 million
• Solutions:
– Status Quo – expect history to repeat or spend reserves; or
– Correct imbalance – reduce expenditures through
efficiencies and reorganizations & use fund balance for key
priorities
– Increase General Fund reserves to 15%
• Managing now will avoid fiscal crisis in future.
Where Do We Go From Here
•Understand that the economic climate has changed
and the City needs to adapt responsibly
•Track the State Budget and identify impacts to
Pasadena
•Work with our local legislators regarding the City’s
needs
•Begin the Fiscal Year 2010 Budget process
•Engage City Council on opportunities to address both
the current and proposed budgets
