The Baldwin Park CITY COUNCIL met in a SPECIAL MEETING on May 24, 1999, in the

Bill" Van Cleave, and Mayor Manuel Lozano. Councilman
Pacheco was absent and excused.
Also Present: David Olivas, City Attorney; Richard A. LeGarra,
Chief of Police; James B. Hathaway, Director of Finance; Ralph

PRELIMINARY BUDGET REVIEW 1999-2000)
Director Hathaway reported on each line item as follows
Total Taxes is at $7,980,400.
Total Licenses and Permits is at $421,500.
Total Use of Money and Property is at $250,250.
Total Intergovernmental is $3,503,063.
Total Charges for Service is $763,020.
Total Miscellaneous is $103,350.
Total Transfers from other Funds is $595,500.
Total General Fund and Transfers is $13,617,263.
Director Hathaway informed the Council that as long as we are
using Transfer-In money for what they are restricted to be used
for, we have two options. 1) You could create a fbnd and charge
into that flind, or, 2) You can transfer in and then support those
charges in some way. The Residential Development Tax is
collected separately and then transferred in. The transfer of
Public Safety is collected in a separate Rind and expenses must
be justified.
In response to Chief LeGarra' 5 question, Director Hathaway said
that he could look into the Prop 172-Public Safety figures to see
if they are correct. The reason there is a negative figure is
because the City has always charged internal service flinds into
this Rind. All the money was used for the helicopter, but now,
there should be some surplus and we could apply it to the
negative balance.
Director Nunez clarified that the negative figure is for internal
service charges that are charged off But he can't understand this
because it is under cost center 72 and the cost center is already
billed for these items

In reply to a question from Mayor Lozano, Director Hathaway
said that the Housing Department pays about $40,000-$45,000 to
the General Fund annually.
Director Nunez suggested purchasing a building and rather than
paying rent, paying to own the building.
Councilwoman Gair said that we receive $300,000 for the
building, and then we kick back in $60,000 for one of our
agencies to rent it a year.
Chief LeGarra said that it is important for the Department Heads
to get together Thursday night for an hour to get ideas as
priorities in terms of if something has to go there would be some
direction.
In response to Councilwoman Gair's question, Director
Hathaway said that there will be a budget study session on June
2, at 6:00 o'clock, where there will be the letter transmittal and
the highlights of the budget. If we get a balanced budget, we
might not have to add three or four meetings.
Chief LeGarra said that if they get together Thursday night, he
could speak with Director Hathaway and they could discuss their
respective budgets, add the figures up, have the estimated
revenue, and we could see in what areas would need to be cut,
and which department has to be cut to try to balance the budget.
On Thursday, there could be direction from Council. The B-
Team could meet to provide a balanced budget.
Director Hathaway answered Councilwoman Gair's question by
saying that we have $560,000 from the County in the Off-Street
Storm Drain Project. He counted it in the January 98 financial
statements, even though it took us until last month to make the
final payments. We still have one more year of auditing on the
Gas Tax.
Director Hathaway responded to Mayor Lozano's question by
explaining that the AQMD could be audited by the state
anywhere from three to six years behind on the audits.
Director Hathaway continued saying that, if the budget is
balanced, the Council could pass it on the June 1 6Z meeting.

Mayor Lozano said that there should be options on the different
hinds by Thursday to summarize the increases from one year to
the next. He asked to have this information prepared.

by stating that presently, there are no salary negotiations with the
employees. However, he is working with Personnel Manager
Cole regarding this matter. The impact-by-hind of a salary
increase by percentage has not yet been completed.
