Ms. Rossi referred to Appendix E, page E-1, which reflected the Grant funds had not been received. Staff is carrying over the revenue project as well as the expenditure. Mr. Fialho said the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) is currently holding onto the Grant funds until the City issues the contract. Staff anticipates issuance of the contract in January 2006. Mr. Brozosky referred to the total fee revenue section as reflected in Appendix E, page E-1 and inquired about the Proposition 40 Grants for the Alviso Adobe and Bernal Community Park. He asked staff about the status of these funds. Mr. Fialho believed the Proposition 40 Grant for the Bernal Community Park was reflected in the City's reserve account. He was not certain about the grant for the Alviso Adobe Park. Mr. Brozosky referred to the total fee revenue section as reflected in Appendix E, page E-1, and asked staff if it had made progress on receiving revenue from the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) for odor mitigation related to Val Vista Park? Mr. Fialho said no. Staff initiated the improvement with the assumption that DSRSD would refund the City and staff has not had any follow-up discussions with DSRSD in part because DSRSD wanted to place some long-term limitations and restrictions on the use of Val Vista Park. He believed the previous City Council and City Manager made a decision not to pursue it because it did not want to place this type of restriction on a City facility. He believed this matter could possibly be resolved within the next six months. Mr. Thorne asked if the City had any triggers that would trigger adjustments and expense budgets in any given month? Ms. Rossi said staff reviewed and provided updates on the budget to Council every quarter as well as providing a major update at mid-year. Staff watches expenditures on a monthly basis. Mr. Thorne asked if the City had any under spending triggers? Ms. Rossi said staff reduces as much as it increases the budget at mid-year and generally, staff reduces the City budget at mid-year. Mr. Thorne said he was as concerned about large amounts of under spending as he was over spending as the funds could be used for other projects. Ms. Rossi pointed out staff reviews expenditures that are under budget which are primarily related to salary costs and are difficult to predict. In response to an inquiry by Ms. McGovern, Ms. Rossi said the $2,295,494 million for the Alviso Adobe Community Park as reflected in the Capital Improvement Program Parks Project, Appendix E, page E-3, would represent the money that was available at the end of Fiscal Year 2005. If any additional funds had been appropriated in the current four-year Capital Improvement Program, it would be an addition. Pleasanton City Council Minutes 11 11/1 5/05
