Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that acceptance of the 17-18 CalVIP Grant in the amount of $1,000,000 and approval of grant-related actions will result in the implementation of essential gang prevention and intervention services in the Hollenbeck III and Foothill GRYD Zones. The required match of $1,000,000 is to be met with a combination of salary and fringe benefit costs and contractual services. The proposed Reserve Fund advance of $350,000 per program year ($700,000 total) will be used to address a cash flow issue for service providers and is to be repaid at the end of each program year upon reimbursement of CalVIP grant funds.

 

The CAO further states that 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 the majority of program costs are fully reimbursed by the grant, any substantial delay in the repayment of the Reserve Fund advance may result in a negative impact to the General Fund. In order to mitigate the financial burden to the City, the CAO recommends that the Mayor’s Office request reimbursement on a quarterly basis to ensure repayment of the Reserve Fund advance in a timely manner. 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.
