Consider the FY 2020-21 Draft Budget and the Seven -Year CIP June 2, 2020 Page 3 also be able to use CARES Act funding for two weeks of special administrative leave paid in FY19-20 at a cost of $1.9 million. The City's additional costs related to COVID-19 are not budgeted (e.g. protective supplies, unemployment claims, testing, sanitization, etc.), and the additional revenue would offset the General Fund impact. In addition to the General Fund Reserve thresholds included in the summary above, the City Council's Budget and Financial Policies (adopted June 6, 2017) defines a balanced budget as "ongoing recurring operating revenues matching ongoing recurring operating expenditures including debt service." A summary of proposed FY20-21 recurring and non -recurring General Fund revenue and expenditures follows, which indicates the recurring budget is not in balance. Revenue Expenditures Transfers Out Recurring $ 307,392,970 $ $ (306,140,690) $ $ (17,282,560) $ (3,924,780) (1,100,000) The budget -balancing scenarios outlined above are one-time measures, and the recurring budget would remain unbalanced.

The net taxable value of property in the City for FY19-20 was $27,899,686,424. If we apply the calculation required by the Charter, the required budget for public recreation programs is $16,739,812. The proposed General Fund budget includes $22,367,068 for the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Agency, and $3,061,430 for Youth Services funded by Cannabis tax revenue. Measure X Spending The City's voters approved a 1.5% local sales tax rate via Measure X on the November 2018 ballot. Based upon analysis from the City's sales tax consultant, staff expects Measure X to generate $55.1 million of FY20-21 General Fund revenue. Although Measure X is a general-purpose revenue with no restrictions, the City Council has expressed a desire to budget for services cited in the ballot language. City of Santa Ana, Santa Ana Neighborhood Safety, Homeless Prevention and Essential City Services Enhancement Measure — "To maintain effective 9-1-1 response; retaining firefighters and police officers; addressing homelessness; fixing streets; maintaining parks, youth and senior services, and unrestricted general revenue purposes; shall the sales tax be increased one and one half (1.5) cents until 2029 providing approximately $60 million dollars annually, then reduced to one (1) cent providing approximately $40 million dollars annually, until 2039, requiring annual audits, citizens oversight and for Santa Ana use only?"
