BACKGROUND: Beginning in Fiscal Year 2014/2015, the City Council instituted an enhanced budget process. This process provides additional opportunities for the public to provide input into the budget document. Further, the City Council now specifically invites members of the City’s Commissions, Committees, and Boards to provide comments during the City’s Fiscal Year 2015/2016Budget Process. Members of the City’s Commissions, Committees and Board are welcome to attend any and all of the public meetings of the City Council at which the budget will be reviewed and ultimately considered for adoption by the City Council. The Official Budget Calendar is provided as Attachment A. At the February 23, 2015 City Council meeting, the City’s Chief Financial Officer Jeff Muirpresented the Fiscal Year 2014/2015 Mid-Year Budget Monitoring Report as well has an updated General Fund Financial Forecast. In addition, he provided notification inviting public comment and input for the upcoming proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2015/2016.

Agenda Items” from the menu on the left side of the page (it is the third from last link). Preliminary Information Regarding Fiscal Year 2015/2016 Proposed Enhancements Enhancements to the Budget include both those new expenditures that require additional funding and those that are offset by revenue and/or other proposed budget reductions. Although the Department is currently in the initial stages of the Budget Process, the PRCS Director is considering making specificenhancement requests for Fiscal Year 2015/2016. The first two potential requests are based on both demonstrated demand by the public and the ability to offset enhancements with increased revenues: • Three (3) additional Senior Recreation Leaders: One for the Teen Center, one for Teen Camp and one for Summer Camp. It is anticipated that these enhancements will be offset with the additional revenue generated through increased participation in the affected Programs. • Three (3) part time staff to manage the Fitness Center at Senior Center. This enhancement will be offset 100% by Culver City Senior Citizen Association (CCSCA) fees. • One Senior Center Security Guard with a work schedule of approximately 20 hours per week. This position, which was created in Fiscal Year 2014/2015 is currently being supported by funding provided by the City Manager’s Office. In Fiscal Year 2015/2016, the cost of this position will be transferred to the PRCS Department. There is no planned offset for this enhancement. City of Culver City, California Agenda Item Report It should be noted that these requests are not final pending further review and discussions with parameters to be set by City Manager as well as recommendations from staff related to program needs. FISCAL ANALYSIS: There is no fiscal impact associated with the discussion of this Agenda Item. ATTACHMENTS: A. Budget Calendar – Fiscal Year 2015/2016 B.
