CONTINUED
BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT relative to an alternative plan including possible furloughs, layoffs and other related actions to offset reductions in anticipated revenue from the proposed public-private partnership (P3) involving the City’s parking structures.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) to report back by January 30, 2011 with details on the service impacts of any proposed furloughs, on any permanent or structural reductions to offset furlough savings targets, on any contract reductions to offset furlough savings targets, and on other options to offset reductions in anticipated revenue from the P3 transaction, and INSTRUCT all departments to report to the CAO and CLA with the above information for their respective department.
SUBMIT WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION the following recommendations of the CAO and CLA, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
2. APPROVE all of the Phase 1 Options in the alternative plan (Attachment 1 of the Committee report).
3. AUTHORIZE the CAO to implement the Phase 1 Options of the alternative plan including the submission of technical instructions as necessary.
4. DIRECT all impacted departments to immediately facilitate the implementation of the Phase 1 Options of the alternative plan including the increased number of furlough days and to work with the CAO to develop and implement a coordinated furlough plan.
5. INSTRUCT the CAO to report back on the status of the furlough implementation plan in the Mid-year FSR or a subsequent report.
6. CONSIDER approval of all the Phase 2 Options of the alternative plan (Attachment 2 of the Committee report) concurrent with the final decision on the P3 Concession Agreement.
7. DIRECT all impacted departments to identify permanent reductions to their operations at a value that is no less than their furlough savings targets (Attachment 3 of the Committee report), including workforce reductions through layoffs, that can be implemented this fiscal year.
8. INSTRUCT departments to submit these permanent reductions to the CAO by January 24, 2011 for inclusion in the Mid-year FSR.
9. INSTRUCT departments to submit any proposed layoffs, including the number of positions by classification, to the CAO and Personnel Department by January 24, 2011.
10. INSTRUCT the Personnel Department to begin the layoff calculations for the identified positions.
11. INSTRUCT the CAO to provide a recommendation on each proposed reduction in the Mid-year FSR and in the event that the 10 additional furlough days within Phase 1 of the P3 alternative plan are approved, determine if any of the furlough days may be scaled back based on the savings from the permanent reductions.
12. AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical corrections as necessary to implement Mayor and Council intentions.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO and CLA report that adoption of the above recommendations will offset the potential loss of revenue should the proposed public-private partnership involving the City's parking structures not move forward or the transaction falls short of the anticipated net financial target. The solutions identified in the Phase 1 Options of the alternative plan total $52.8 million which offsets 99 percent of the non-realization of budgeted P3 revenue. The remaining deficit will need to be addressed through solutions presented in Phase 2 as detailed in Attachment 2 unless the Phase 1 Options are implemented and the P3 transaction is completed. Additionally, in the event that Mayor and Council increase civilian furloughs for General Fund positions by up to an additional 10 days except for EAA represented employees, the recommended actions may lead to the implementation of permanent reductions to offset the targeted $20 million savings from furloughs. These permanent reductions would also address the $350 million projected deficit for next fiscal year.
Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
