CityCouncil | 2009-01-06 | 20 | Counci lmember Tam stated the City is not insulated from the State running out of money; the $413,000 might not materialize. The Interim Finance Director stated the City is assuming the amount will be received by close of books on June 30, but might have to float the cash; monies paid with an I.O.U. drain the City's cash today. Vice Mayor deHaan stated the City was under the impression that it could bond against the I.O.U., which will no longer happen. The Interim Finance Director stated some of the smaller revenue sources are being held and the State is not indicating when payment will be received. Councilmember Tam stated the City of Hayward is eliminating days of operation; Oakland is furloughing; inquired what other cities are doing to maintain public safety. The Interim Finance Director stated Hayward is requiring every employee, except frontline Police and Fire, to take a mandated 52 hours of unpaid leave; people could draw down on the time while the City closed for the holidays; the City Manager has requested her to run various scenarios. The City Manager stated in Hayward, the amount would be taken out of paychecks over a six-month period and was a one-time effort to obtain savings in the current fiscal year. Vice Mayor deHaan stated furloughs are being done at various levels throughout the State; the City might be in a situation and have to close City Hall down on a given day; there are a lot of options. The City Manager noted there would be a decrease in service. Mayor Johnson stated the mid-year budget report would be brought to Council in February and the issue would be dealt with again.
