Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget
Management Services/Finance Director Garcia summarized the Proposed FY 2018-2019 Budget presents
balanced budgets in FY 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. At June 30, 2019,the City expects to end the year
with a surplus of$8,541 and an ending unreserved fund balance of$10.6 million. An estimated $71.3
million is available to fund the General fund operations for FY 2018-19. Ms. Garcia explained the budget
is tied to the trends in the local economy with some growth anticipated in sales and property tax,but not at
the rate previously observed. Property tax, as the largest source of revenue for the City is projected to
grow by 4.1%from last year,while sales tax, as the second largest revenue stream for the City is
projected at a 2.8%decrease compared to last year.
As public comment, Dennis Bell questioned the financial position of the City, suggested the Council
reorder its spending priorities, and stop spending money on non-revenue generating programs. He raised
several issues with the proposed budget, such as,the debt,too much reliance on grant funding,trash and
recycling costs, filling the animal control supervisor position,the loss of part-time positions,the amount
of fee waivers granted, current accounting of the Palmetto Grove fund, and funding for City vehicles and
tree trimming. Janet Ward requested the City allocate additional funding towards street tree maintenance.
It was agreed to continue consideration of the City Manager's Proposed Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget to
the Special Meeting of the City Council scheduled for May 29, 2018 at 5:00 P.M.

Ordinance No. 2871 -Airport Traffic Patterns
Will Hamilton, of Quality of Life,presented Ordinance No. 2871,relating to the Redlands Municipal
Airport traffic patterns. The City established patterns for safe traffic, separating helicopter patterns and
fixed wing activity. The helicopter training pattern is intended to keep helicopter traffic north of
existing residential neighborhoods, located south of the Airport and was taken into consideration
during the development of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP),which is designed to
ensure that surrounding land uses are compatible with airport activity.
In 2015,the City Council was presented a report prepared by Coffman Associates,which identified
certain inconsistencies between the City's ALUCP,the Redlands Airport Master Plan and the California
Airport Land Use. The report concluded that the documents were legal and valid until such time as they
are updated. Corrective actions were recommended,including updating section 12.56.460 of the
Redlands Municipal Code as the section contains an outdated traffic pattern exhibit which does not
reflect the FAA approved traffic patterns. On May 2, 2018,the Airport Advisory Board voted
unanimously to recommend that the City Council direct staff to either update section 12.56.460 of the
code to reflect the approved flight pattern or completely omit the pattern description from the Redlands
Municipal Code to prevent confusion.
As public comment, Ted Gablin, President of the Redlands Airport Association, supported removing the
pattern from the code, considering it unnecessary as pilots look to the FAA,not local municipal codes.
Martin Stratte, of Gresham Savage Nolan &Tilden, representing Diversified Pacific, reminded the
Council of their commitment made in 2016 to amend Chapter 12.56 of the Municipal Code to refine the
helicopter traffic pattern exhibit which currently depicts an undefined southerly pattern with a precise
helicopter traffic pattern with landmarks and/or ground references to clearly define the traffic pattern.
They do not want the deletion to occur without replacing it with a new diagram. Matthew Jordan, of
Diversified Pacific, offered background of the year-long process his company undertook to obtain final
City approval for the residential development and also pointed out the City made a commitment to
amend the helicopter pattern code. He recommended Council amend the code to include the flight
pattern, and also update the FAA flight chart to include the helicopter pattern. Andy Hoder
recommended the Council defer to the FAA and pointed out any violations should be reported to the
FAA, as they are the enforcing body. George Morris offered little sympathy to the noise and flight
pattern complaints of the developer and home buyers since they were fully aware of the airport location
and the proximity to the proposed homes. He also suggested the Council follow the FAA for safe
operations
Council Member discussion centered on the City's inability to enforce violations,the developer's
concerns, and the City's commitment in 2016 to amend the flight pattern as part of the conditions of
CC RFA May 15,2018
Page 9
approval for the development. They requested staff consider adding language in the code indicating this
is enforceable by the FAA,but both the City and airport users should take responsibility for reporting
violations to the FAA.
On motion of Council Member Toni Momberger, seconded by Council Member John James,the City
Council unanimously agreed to continue the item for further review and study.
Vote: 5 - 0 Passed
