Jack Lam, City Manager;stated yes and that the City would know something on that this week.
Councilmember Alexander asked if any of the State's take-away programs have put money back into the City's
pocket.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated none that he knew of.
Mayor Stout stated he felt if the City was setting up contingencies for what the State might take away, they will
take it away. He did not think it was wise to do that
Councilmember Buquet stated he did not think the State would have a balanced budget until next year. He did not
think the City should believe that the State will not take anything away from the cities. He felt the City should
stay prepared for state take-aways that might come down to us.
Couneilmember Alexander asked if asset seizure money could be used for the DARE program.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated it cannot be used for a continuing program.
Mayor Stout did not feel it should be used for these types of programs.
Councilmember Williams stated she felt the City should be concerned about the reallocation of sales tax money.
Councilmember Buquet felt the $450,000 for NPDES was a conservative amount. He stated he did not think any
decisions could be made at this time because there was still other matters to be considered, i.e., right sizing, etc.
Councilmember Alexander felt he would like to keep looking at some form of reduction of the utility tax. He asked
if there was any program to get money back for negligent fires. He felt the City should go after getting reimbursed
for the cost of some of these.
Councilmember Buquet stated he would like to get information on the City's subrogation activities.
Bob Dominguez, Administrative Services Director, stated he could do that.
Councilmember Alexander stated he would like to look into Code Enforcement possibly falling under another
Department's jurisdiction rather than Planning.
