1 Report dated June 30, 1992, from the Assistant City Manager, recommending
adoption of the operating budget.
The City Manager advised that the budget as submitted would be basically balanced
if the recommendations, including those for revenue enhancement, were
implemented. The proposed enhancements included increasing the transient
occupancy tax to 10%, removing the $125 cap on business licenses, and removing the
$125 cap on business licenses for mobilehome parks, apartments and recreational
vehicle parks. The City Manager advised that the State may be enacting a budget
that would remove some property tax revenue currently received by cities and direct
it to the State. He discussed impacts on the City's budget, noting that revenue in
the amount of $750,000 to $800,000 could be re -directed to the State. He discussed
budget reductions that had occurred in the City's budget since 1989; noting that the
only increases proposed this year were in Police Services and Community Services
necessary to respond to the Council's priority for human services.

Councilman Vasquez suggested that the City move in the direction of using fewer
consultants and performing as much work as possible in-house. He further stated
that the approvals of the budget and the employee associations' Memorandum of
Understanding should be conducted in proximity to each other to provide a better
awareness of commitments.

Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Jones opened the Joint Public
Hearing and the following person responded:
1. Michael Hoy, Principal of San Juan Elementary School, 31642 El Camino Real,

Task Force was interested in assuming the graffiti abatement program from
the City.
There being no further response, Mayor Jones closed the Public Hearing with the
right to re -open at any time.
Councilmen Friess and Hausdorfer commended staff for their efforts in preparing
