(Janet Salisbury, Director of Finance)
Director Salisbury presented the Annual Comprehensive Finance Report for fiscal year ended June 20,
2021, mid -year update for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, and additional appropriation considerations.
Councilmember Addiego inquired whether there was a mechanism that would allow the city to
temporarily lower or eliminate the 14% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). City Attorney Woodruff
advised that he would need to double-check how the ordinances were written. He included that the
original tax predated Proposition 218, and there were subsequent increases that had voters' approval. City
Attorney Woodruff advised that the Council could grant a holiday for the not voter -approved portion but
would have to levy the voter -approved amount.
Vice Mayor Nicolas inquired why the City Manager's Office funded the Irrigation Designer position.
City Manager Futrell advised that Capital Projects Director Gilchrist requested to be housed in the City
Manager's Office. Director Salisbury added that the Irrigation Designer position was assigned to the City
Manager's Office for the study and could be moved to the Capital Improvement Project fund.
Councilmember Addiego inquired whether, at some point, the Mental Health Clinician position would
become part of the Police Department budget. City Manager Futrell advised that they could include the
position as part of the Police Department budget for next year.
Councilmember Addiego was reluctant to assign $150,000 for a Concert in the Park if something
unknown occurred and assembly of mass gatherings was not ideal. Director of Parks and Recreation
Mediati advised that he was still working with the event vendor regarding the cancellation policy.
Traditionally, they did not put down a deposit that would amount to half of the production costs. He
added that the deposit would be transferable to a future event.
Councilmember Addiego requested additional information regarding the Parks and Recreation Vehicle
Replacement budget request of $820,000. Director Mediati stated that the funding would include five
new fleet vehicles and six replacements of existing or aged vehicles scheduled for replacement. He added
that they were upgrading one John Deere large mower to an EV mower. Staff was also getting a trencher
for digging. Director Mediati was hoping to continue electrifying the fleet of vehicles and was looking at
piloting some small truck EV vehicles.
City Manager Futrell thanked the committee members for their feedback and advised staff would present
their report to the entire City Council at the next meeting.
