In addition, this budget emphasizes four City <br /> Council focused priorities: enhance public safety, improve transportation infrastructure, address <br /> minor deferred maintenance projects in parks, and ensure the City's long-term financial stability. <br /> As a result of the global financial crisis and its impact on local and state resources, ensuring the <br /> City's long-term financial stability has become even more important. The proposed budget has <br /> been developed to move Santa Ana closer to such stability, while maintaining core programs and i <br /> services to the extent possible. <br /> The total annual proposed budget for fiscal year 2010-11 is $474,282,113 which includes a capital <br /> projects budget of $43 million, primarily funded through grants; refuse, sewer, water, sanitation, <br /> parking meter and regional transportation center budgets totaling $94 million; a housing assistance <br /> budget of $38.7 million; a redevelopment agency budget of $61.9 million; special revenue and <br /> grant funds amounting $39.5 million and a general fund budget of $197.1 million. <br /> The declining economy and its impact on revenues, combined with increasing costs, have radically <br /> accelerated the need to resolve the City's structural deficit.
