For many <br />years, the City has accepted deposits from developers, property owners, and utility companies <br />for City services and the privilege to temporarily utilize City resources or the public right-of-way <br />for private projects. State law allows the City to publish notification of the stale deposits, offering <br />the public an opportunity to claim them. When no claims are made, the City can recognize the <br />stale deposits as revenue. Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA) staff has <br />identified $399,606.30 of deposits that can be recorded as revenue in the General Fund and <br />$529,796.45 of deposits that can be recorded as revenue in the Water Enterprise Fund. <br />Due Diligence Efforts — Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 <br />During the fiscal year 2017-18, FMSA staff conducted extensive research to obtain supporting <br />documentation for the unclaimed deposits by reviewing the City's financial records. FMSA staff <br />worked with the following Departments to identify supporting documentation: <br />• Clerk of the Council <br />• Police Department <br />• Public Works Agency <br />• Planning and Building Agency <br />• Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency <br />65A-1 <br />
