MEMORANDUM To: City Council and Acting City Manager May 23, 2024 Date: From: Executive Director of Finance & Management Services Follow-Up for May 16 Budget Work Session Subject: During the City Council Budget Work Session on May 16, there were a number of questions and requests for additional information. Please find a summary below. We have scheduled 1:1 meetings with City Council members to answer any further questions in advance of your Budget Public Hearing on June 4. Arts Funding and Senior Programs. The proposed budget has been adjusted to remove the $240,000 funding from Santa Ana Holidays and reallocate it as follows: 1. CDA for Arts Funding $120,000. The existing CDA allocation is $200,000, so this addition will bring the total to $320,000. The proposed spending plan for the additional $120,000 follows. 2. PRCSA to expand Senior Programs $120,000. Blue Lights. PWA has provided an estimate of $50,000 each and recommends 6 locations along the Maple Street bike path. Staff has found that the $300,000 expenditure is eligible for ARPA funding and will reallocate funding as appropriate. Bowers Museum Agreement Background. The June 4 agenda includes a separate staff report with this information. Business License Fee of $24. The exhibit to the Budget Work Session staff report that included this fee was missing the word “List”. This fee is for purchase of a New Business License List. We commonly receive requests for a list of new businesses that have opened in Santa Ana. The fee is to provide a list. It has nothing to do with the business tax. Cameras for Safety & Security. PD has a June 4 agenda item to purchase 4 mobile cameras at a total cost of $98,324. These mobile units can be deployed and moved around the City. The June 4 staff report includes more detailed information.
