CityCouncil | 2010-01-26 | 3 | The Interim City Manager/Interim Executive Director gave a presentation. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated the Community Development Department fund went down significantly; inquired the amount, to which the Interim City Manager/Interim Executive Director responded $800,000 was drawn down from the fund balance. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether the department is now operating in balance. The Interim City Manager/Interim Executive Director responded in the affirmative; stated some of the fund balance would be used during the current fiscal year; continued the presentation. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Matarrese inquired why the urban runoff fund balance is so large. The Public Works Director stated the Storm Drain Master Plan is currently being completed, which will result in a 10 or 20-year capital improvement program to spend down the money. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Matarrese stated that he receives complaints about the pond near the Tube entrance behind Marina Village Loop; inquired whether the project could be completed since the fund has $7.5 million. The Pubic Works Director responded the project would probably be identified as one of the priorities in the Plan; stated other areas might be of higher priority, such as homes that would be inundated by a 100-year flood; that he would check whether the Alameda Landing project might be contributing funds and ensure the project is reviewed as part of the Master Plan. In response to Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Matarrese's inquiry about when the Plan would be completed, the Public Works Director stated the Plan should be done in 12 months; the Sewer Plan would be finished first. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Matarrese inquired whether the [urban runoff] funds could be used for sewers, to which the Public Works Director responded in the negative; stated 10% of sewer funds can be used for urban runoff. In response to Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Gilmore's inquiries about the negative fund balance in the risk management and workers compensation funds and about incurred liabilities, the Interim City Manager/Interim Executive Director stated negatives are real money paid out for claims; incurred liabilities are the amount that an actuarial believes should be reserved for future risks, which the City does not have; the City is trying to get out of the $1.7 million negative and, then, will have to start putting money away to cover the Special Joint Meeting Alameda City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and 3 Community Improvement Commission January 26, 2010 | CityCouncil/2010-01-26.pdf |
