Fiscal Year 2022-23 First Quarter Budget Report and Proposed Appropriation <br />Adjustments <br />November 15, 2022 <br />Page 2 <br />3 <br />0 <br />7 <br />1 <br />The General Fund balance at June 30, 2022 is $16 million more than estimated during <br />the FY 2022-23 budget process primarily due to FY 2021-22 revenue performance. <br />Staff proposes spending adjustments totaling $3.3 million, offset by $1.4 million of <br />revenue, for a net fiscal impact of $1.9 million. If the City Council approves the <br />recommendations, the General Fund balance available for spending may be $19.9 <br />million. Considering the effects of pending recession and the Cannabis tax rate <br />reductions, staff does not recommend any further appropriations from the available <br />$19.9 million. In addition, staff recommends preserving a spendable balance sufficient <br />to fund the City’s $13 million contribution to the forthcoming Third & Broadway project if <br />the developer meets the December 31, 2022 deadline for closing escrow. <br />General Fund Summary with Proposed Adjustments <br />Original <br />FY 2022-23 <br />Budget <br />Proposed First <br />Quarter <br />Adjustments <br />Updated <br />Estimate <br />Beginning Balance at July 1, <br />2022 <br />$97,462,861 $16,046,683 $113,509,544 <br />Revenue Estimate $390,132,940 $1,420,000 $391,552,940 <br />Appropriated Spending $(403,596,760)$(3,283,364)$(406,880,124) <br />Pension Trust Set-Aside $(7,748,811)$(7,748,811) <br />Estimated Ending Balance at <br />June 30, 2023 <br />$76,250,230 $14,183,319 $90,433,549 <br />Less: 18% Reserve $70,223,929 $255,600 $70,479,529 <br />Estimated Spendable <br />Balance <br />$6,026,301 $13,927,719 $19,954,020 <br />The First Quarter budget and actual revenues and expenditures are included in Exhibits <br />1 and 2.
