CityCouncil | 2005-06-07 | 24 | Department funds cannot cross pollinate into other activities; the overhead and staffing in the CIC budget is a little over 10%; there are very few bodies managing CIC projects Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funded staff cannot be moved to CIC projects because it is not eligible for them under the grant dollars; there is flexibility within ARRA and CIC staff; only four people are funded through lease revenues; one person will be eliminated; the Development Services Department will continue to morph throughout the year; almost all of the cash flows have been completed, which will provide a good picture of all obligations, pass-throughs, contractual arrangements, etc. Commissioner/Board Member Daysog stated there is a greater control over the operating costs for staff; the City will need to keep a close eye on projects. The Development Services Director stated there is not a lot of cushion built in for all of the capital projects. Commissioner Daysog stated that the $2 million earmarked for the Library might not go for the Library because the money might be needed for the redevelopment projects. The Development Services Director stated the cycle is very common; when large construction projects are started there is a slip period of 18 months to three years before the projects hit the tax rolls. Commissioner Daysog stated that it is important to be very cautious with the large budget projects; the Alameda Power & Telecom cable television project was estimated at $16 million and cost $29 million. The Development Services Director stated that construction costs continue to escalate. Commissioner Daysog thanked the Development Services Director for the leadership shown. Commissioner/Board Member deHaan stated the budget is fragile at the best; any Alameda Point glitches would be a major concern; noted he has deep concerns for the future years; stated that he would like to see budgeting for the retail recruiter position in the future. The Development Services Director stated that a retail recruiter has been funded for one year.
