Review of the proposed Fiscal Year 1994-95 budget.
Written Communication:
Report dated June 21, 1994, from the Finance Officer, providing an overview of the Agency's various funds and
advising that recommendations will be made during Fiscal Year 1994-95 regarding the sale of additional Agency
property to relieve the Agency's deficit.
Ms. Pendleton made an oral presentation.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Campbell opened the Public Hearing, and there was no
response.
B_gKd i2iscussion:
Director Jones expressed strong concerns with reducing and/or eliminating most of the maintenance and repair
items for the City's buildings, noting that the majority of the buildings are heavily used and are already in need
of repair and maintenance. He felt these items should be made a high priority for health and safety reasons.
Director Campbell concurred. Mr. Scarborough explained that the intent of the reductions was to minimize
maintenance to avoid any permanent damage to the buildings. He anticipated that the budget for maintenance
may be upgraded in future years' budgets. He noted that the repairs at the Hot Springs Dance Hall were
necessary at this time to avoid further deterioration of the facility.

Director Vasquez concurred with the comments made by Director Jones and expressed concern with the drastic
reductions anticipated for Community Services programs. He felt that those programs were of great benefit to
the City and preferred that reductions in other programs be considered instead, e.g, the Regional Narcotics
Suppression Program position. He inquired about the following items considered for reduction: South Orange
County Training Consortium, Computerized Legal Information/Updates, Etc., Cellular Phones, and Walking
Tour Information (new program). Mr. Scarborough explained that the Training Consortium is an extremely cost-
efficient program that is very beneficial to the City, particularly since City staff are currently receiving minimal
training. He advised that the cellular phones were an important part of the City's emergency response capability.
The Agency Counsel explained that computerized access would eliminate the staff time now required to drive
to the Law Library in Santa Ana to retrieve legal information, and the City would receive the needed answers
much more quickly. He noted that in addition to the up -front costs, the City's only additional costs would be for
the computer time actually used.
Conti-nuation of Public Hearing:
It was moved by Director Hausdorfer, seconded by Director Jones, and unanimously carried that the public
hearings on both budget items be continued to the meeting of July 5, 1994, for further discussion and adoption
of the FY 1994-99 Five -Year Budget.
