Mayor Tom Daly called the Special Meeting of June 8, 1999 to order at 2:17 p.m. for the purpose of a
Budget Workshop on the proposed 1999/2000 City Budget.
106: PUBLIC HEARING - CITY BUDGET - To consider the proposed 1999/2000 Budget Plan.
FISCAL YEAR 1999/2000 DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET WORKSHOP: City Manager, James Ruth. This
is a Public Hearing to review and adopt the City's 1999/2000 Budget pursuant to City Charter Sections
1202, 1203 and 1204. The City Council has been provided the proposed budget document which has
been available since May 4, 1999 for public inspection. Following today's presentations, public comments
and questions will be heard at the 5:00 P.M. session of the Council Meeting and the Public Hearing
subsequently continued to Tuesday, June 15, 1999 at 2:00 P.M. It may, at Council's discretion, be
continued to subsequent dates but prior to July 1, 1999 and still meet Charter requirements.
He is pleased to present the proposed FY1999/2000 Budget for consideration. He then briefed portions of
his transmittal letter to the Council dated May 4, 1999 contained in the City of Anaheim Budget Document
- Annual Budget/City of Anaheim 1999/2000 (pages 4 through 7). For the fourth year in a row, the Budget
is balanced without the requirement to use General Fund reserves or one-time monies. Even though
Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) have not grown as anticipated during FY98/99, other key General
Fund sources continue to show strength and are projected to increase moderately in the upcoming fiscal
year.
The proposed City Budget for FY1999/2000 totals $631,037,752 representing a decrease of
approximately 3.8% ($25,117,053) from the adopted/adjusted FY98/99 budget. The decrease is primarily
due to the reduction in capital spending in the Public Works Department. The major capital activity for
Public Works continues to be the Anaheim Resort. The bond trustee will pay the majority of construction
expenses in the Anaheim Resort directly to the contractors. Accordingly, the numbers in the proposed
budget do not reflect the direct Resort payments and, therefore, the capital spending for Public Works
appears reduced. The Anaheim Resort projects are listed in the accompanying Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) which is a comprehensive review of all capital spending regardless of source.
The proposed General Fund Budget for FY1999/2000 totals $153,235,520 which represents an increase
of $2,712,996 or approximately 1.8% over the FY98/99 adopted adjusted budget primarily due to a
$1,275,508 increase in the Community Services Department and a $1,070,997 increase in the Police

Department. It should be noted that there are two sources of revenues contameo in the twaget wnicn
staff will be watching very closely. First World Communications is contractually obligated to begin their
one million dollar annual payment to the City in FY99/2000. The second is the Paramedics Subscription
Fees budgeted at 2.7 million which may come in lower due to a revised method of marketing the program
and the collection of those revenues.
Before concluding his presentation, Mr. Ruth noted that the City's Budget Advisory Commission at its
meeting of May 26, 1999 unanimously endorsed and recommended approval of the proposed FY99/2000
City Budget. He then turned the presentation over to Bill Sweeney, Finance Director to give an overview
of the 1999/2000 Budget for Council consideration to be followed by departmental budget presentations.
Bill Sweeney, Finance Director. He gave an overview of the proposed 1999/2000 Budget, supplemented
by (Power Point) slides of some of the data contained on pages 12 through 25 of the Budget document,
which he briefed - Proposed FY1999/2000 — total City Revenues and Expenditures by Fund, Full -Time
Position Comparison (increase of 14 with all but 4 either offset with certain revenue sources or non -
General Fund monies), General Fund Revenues and Expenditures, General Fund Transfers, etc.
City Manager Ruth then introduced each department's budget presentation giving the location of the
respective budgets in the Budget document.
The following Department Heads gave an overview of their department's proposed budget, some
explaining their objectives for the coming year and accomplishments in the past Fiscal Year. Questions
were also posed by Council Members during and at the conclusion of some of the presentations which
were answered by the respective Department Heads and/or appropriate staff. Several of the
presentations were supplemented by (Power Point) slides.

under Administration. (Mr. Morgan's presentation expanded upon the information contained in the Budget
Document under each of the entities.) During his presentation on the City Manager's Office, amongst the
issues broached, he noted that most importantly in the next year in addition to overseeing all City
operations, the City Manager's Office will be concentrating on aggressively pursuing the Council priorities
identified in the February/March Council Budget Workshops including, but not limited to - addressing

City Clerk, Lee Sohl - City Clerk's Office — Budget Document, Pages 36 and 37.
City Attorney, Jack White - City Attorney's Office - Budget Document, Pages 34 and 35. He prefaced
his presentation by noting that the proposed budget for his office represents a $66,000 or 2% decrease
from last year's adopted budget which continues a trend of budget reductions in the City Attorney's Office.
It is actually 7% less than the adopted budget of 10 years ago. He then briefed and expanded upon the
