The City has an active Illness and Injury Prevention program that includes three safety committees made up of employees that review injuries and determine preventability to avoid similar injuries in the future. Over the last several years, the ergonomic and return to work programs have been implemented in an attempt to address both injury prevention and cost management measures. Active management of claims in collaboration with our third-party administrator is employed to assure fiscal responsibility in this area. g. Significant Projects and Program Changes/Enhancements The City Council adopted its priority projects for 2005-06 on April 19, 2005. A listing of the City Council Priority Projects is provided in Appendix A. Staff has identified in this two-year budget the resources necessary to carry out those projects as well as other program changes and enhancements. Included with each department budget is a description of 2003-04/2004-05 accomplishments, and 2005-06/2006-07 goals and objectives, and budget highlights. The priority that the City Council and community have given to Pleasanton youth is clearly reflected in the number of programs/services that are included in this two-year budget period. Over $4.5 million is included in each year of the budget. An outline of the currently proposed programs and activities is shown in Appendix K. The General Government Department contains numerous recommended expenditures to support services and events that are of great benefit to the community. These include among other things, the community grant program; funding for senior and youth scholarships to participate in City activities offered through the Parks & Community Services Department; funding for community access television; support for the Chamber's Leadership Pleasanton Program and its annual Business Expo, and the Tri-Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau (TVCVB). Also included are funding for downtown banners, lights and seasonal decorations, and matching funds to augment the assessments paid by downtown merchants for activities and events organized by the Pleasanton Downtown Association for the benefit of local merchants and the community. 3. General Fund Transfers As was previously mentioned, interfund reimbursements and payments for overhead are no longer reflected as transfers-in and transfers-out, but rather interfund revenues and interfund expenditures. Therefore, the items that remain classified as transfers- out reflect the movement of resources from one Fund to another rather than payment for something specific. Transfers to the CIP It is recommended that the General Fund transfer from operations to the Capital Improvement Program in 2005-06: $3 million to the Miscellaneous CIP project category, and $2 million to the Park CIP. b-20
