The City Council will be holding a special meeting starting at 5:45pm on Tuesday, May 8th at City Hall to accept a portion of the preliminary 2012-2013 Fiscal Year Non-General Fund Budget, and all General Fund Budgets.
This is the third in a series of four meetings to review the 2012-2013 Fiscal Year budgets. The focus of this meetings it the review and acceptance of the General Fund budgets and the final portion of the Non-General Fund budgets, including the various equipment and computer replacement funds and the self insurance funds.
The final budget will be adopted in whole on May 22, 2012.
The regularly scheduled City Council meeting will begin directly after the Special Meeting, starting at 7pm.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded the City of Turlock and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Consortium federal funds to carry out activities that benefit low and moderate-income persons. The proposed Annual Action Plan provides the vehicle to obtain the federal funds for the proposed activities.
City staff will be recommending the City Council to approve the Annual Action Plan, sub-recipient and non-profit agreements. If the City Council chooses not to approve the proposed Annual Action Plan, the City of Turlock and the HOME Consortium will not receive funding for the 2012-2013 Fiscal Year.
The City of Turlock serves as the lead agency in the development of the Annual Action Plan for the City’s CDBG (Community Development Block Grant Program) as well as the Turlock/Stanislaus County HOME Consortium.
The Annual Action Plan is the annual update to the City’s Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan outlines the resources anticipated to be available and specifies the activities proposed to be undertaken during the fiscal year, which covers the time period of July 1st through June 30th of each year. Resources and activities are selected specifically to address the priority needs outlined in the Strategic Plan.
The City attempts to address each affordable housing, homeless and non-housing priority need through the implementation of City services and programs and/or the formation of partnerships with other governmental jurisdictions and non-profit organizations.
City staff propose to continue the existing First Time Homebuyers Program, Housing Rehabilitation Program, funding for public service programs, affordable housing activities, public improvements, fair housing activities and staff time for the mobile home park rent subsidy program.
The City Council will also consider amending the city of Turlock Fiscal Year 2011/2012 General and Non-General Fund Budgets. Although the budgets were adopted on June 14, 2011, during the course of the fiscal year, unanticipated changes have made it necessary to recommend budget amendments, in order to ensure the most efficient use of resources and maximize the value within department budgets.
Also on the agenda is a motion to authorize City Manager Roy Wasden to sign an amended agreement between the City of Turlock and the Carnegie Arts Foundation to return $90,000 and all accrued interest on the $100,00 Performance Security to the Carnegie Foundation.
The City is recommended to retain $10,000 of the $100,000 as a security deposit for the Carnegie Center and pay the accrued annual interest to the Foundation by July 31 of each calendar year.
The Foundation opened and began operating the building in September of 2011 and has enjoyed success. Based on the months of successful operation, The Carnegie Arts Foundation has requested the return of their $100,000 performance deposit from the City, along with accrued interest.
The City Council meeting will begin at 7pm, directly after the special meeting, which will begin at 5:45pm. Both meetings will be held at City Hall, located at 156 S. Broadway Ave.
