PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the 2017 Proposition 47 Grant Program Reserve Fund Loan to support Project imPACT.

 

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

 

  1. APPROVE a Reserve Fund advance in the amount of $400,000; and, AUTHORIZE the Controller to transfer said amount from the Reserve Fund to the Unappropriated Balance Fund No. 100/58 and appropriate therefrom to the Proposition 47 Grant Fund No. 59S/46, Account No. 46P304, with the Reserve Fund advance to be reimbursed upon receipt of grant funds from the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC).

  2. REQUEST the Mayor, or designee, to submit grant reimbursement invoices to the grantor on a monthly basis to ensure timely repayment of the Reserve Fund advance.

  3. REQUEST the Mayor, or designee, to provide a repayment status report on the Reserve Fund advance prior to consideration of any subsequent requests for Reserve Fund advances associated with the Proposition 47 Grant.

  4. AUTHORIZE the Mayor, or designee, to prepare Controller instructions and/or make technical adjustments that may be required to implement the actions approved by the Mayor and Council on this matter, subject to the approval of the City Administrative Officer (CAO); and, AUTHORIZE the Controller to implement the instructions.

 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the proposed Reserve Fund loan of $400,000 will be used to address a cash flow issue and will be repaid by the Mayor’s Office upon reimbursement of Proposition 47 grant funds from the BSCC. The City’s Financial Policies require that the City pursue federal, state and private grants but strictly limit financial support of these programs to avoid commitments that continue beyond available funding. Although these costs are fully reimbursable by the grant, deferring full repayment until the following fiscal year will result in a negative impact to the General Fund. In order to mitigate the financial burden to the City, the CAO recommends that consideration of any subsequent Reserve Fund requests be contingent upon a review of the repayment status of the current loan. The above recommendations comply with City Financial Policies in that the proposed funding is balanced against established revenue approved by Council actions and from Federal and State grant receipts. All funding is subject to the availability of grant funds and determinations by Mayor and Council.
