The meeting was called to order at 6:15 p.m. by Mayor Jon D. MikeIs. Present were: Councilmembers Richard M. Dahl, Charles J. Buquet II, James C. Frost and Mayor Jon D. Mikeis. Absent: Councilman Phillip D. Schlosser. Also present were: City Manager, Lauren Wasserman; Assistant City Manager, Jim Robinson; Community Services Director, Bill Holley; Building Official, Jerry Grant; City Engineer, Lloyd Hubbs; City Planner, Rick Gomez; Finance Director, Harry Empey; Community Development Director, Jack Lam; and Captain Tom Wickum, Sheriff's Department. Mayor Mikeis requested that the City Manager present an overview of the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 83-84. Mr. Wasserman stated as of 8:30 a.m., June 30, 1983, the State had not yet adopted a budget. He further stated that the AB8 deflator would go into effect on July 1, 1983, unless it was specifically repealed. The net effect of the implementation of the AB8 deflator would be an additional loss of City's revenues in the amount of $885,398. These revenue losses would be $735,380 from the motor vehicle in lieu funds and $150,018 from cigarette taxes for a total amount of subventions lost of $885,398- The reductions, if implemented, combined with previous reductions which are already reflected in the budget would bring a total revenue reduction to $1.4 million for Fiscal Year 83-84. Because of the uncertainty of the adoption of the State budget and its possible impact on the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Mr. Wasserman recommended that the following actions be taken by the City Council: A. Adopt an Interim Program of Service for 1983, totalling~ $13,725,776, including all special funds. Instruct staff to return with final budget once the State budget has been adopted and the impact of that budget on the City of Rancho Cucamonga has been determined. C. Postpone the filling of all vacant or new positions until the budget problems have been resolved. D. Delay all expenditures for capital equipment until the budget problems have been resolved. E. Instruct City Manager to postpone all non-essential expenditures. Mr. Wasserman stated that there were additional modifications that needed to be made to the proposed interim budget previously received by the City Council. These included a $5,000 transfer in the Building and Safety Department from Plan Check to overtime to cover plan check consultant work. The second modification was to the Sheriff's budget which included an increase of $4,770 to the fuel budget. Motif: After considerable discussion of the City Manager's recommended actions, as well as the two proposed amendments to the interim budget, a motion was made by Dahl, seconded by Frost to recommend adoption of the proposed interim budget as presented by staff in the amount of $13,725,776. The motion to adopt the interim budget also included the adoption of the (~) City Council Minutes June 30, 1983 Page ? recommendations proposed in the June 30, 1983, memo including items A-E noted in the above minutes, as well as the modifications to the budget to provide for the $5,000 transfer of funds in the Building and Safety Department from plan check to overtime, as well as the modifications to the fuel account in the amount of $4,477 for the Sheriff's Department budget.

Mr. Mikeis stated it had been proposed that the Rancho Cucamonga's fair share of the Revenue Sharing be allocated to the Sheriff's Department contract. This item was opened for public input and no opposition was received regarding the recommendation to allocate revenue sharing to cover a portion of the cost of the Sheriff's contract. Councilman Buquet expressed concern about ongoing programs such as the Sheriff's Department services being funded by revenue that could possibly be lost in the future. The public hearing was closed with no opposition as noted.
