PUBLIC COMMENTS
Senior Recreation Centers—A number of concerned citizens spoke in support of
the recreation centers in Redlands. Reacting to rumors that the centers would be
closed due to budget cuts, many seniors offered their time and expertise to find
ways to manage the centers and keep them open for use by both the old and
young alike.
NEW BUSINFSS
Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Bud et - Finance Director/City Treasurer Kundig
reviewed estimates of General Fund expenditure requirements compared to
decreasing revenues for Fiscal Year 2010-2011. Different approaches to address
the resultant budget shortfall were presented by the City Manager in the form of
three options. Option I would be a 17% reduction in expenditures from each
department's FY 2009-2010 budget. Option 2 would be a 12% reduction in
expenditures which would result in a$2.7 million shortfall to be addressed with
a loan from Enterprise funds, General Fund Reserves, and/or the Unreserved
Fund. Option 3 would be a 12%reduction in expenditures resulting in the same
$2.7 million shortfall, but addressing that shortfall with the introduction of a
local sales tax. To structure the budget discussions for the City Council, each
staff department was tasked to present an itemization of where expenditure cuts
at 12% and 17% level would impact daily operations. Jim Bueermann, Police
Chief, and Les Jolly, Interim Quality of Life Director presented their
departments' candidate expenditure cuts for City Council consideration. Due to
other demands on Council members' time, further presentations were continued
to a Special City Council meeting scheduled for June 7, 2010.
