Other Anticipated Costs in Excess of Reserve Balance
There are number of anticipated costs, currently estimated at least more than $40.3 million, which would eliminate
the surplus fund balance of $32.5 million. These costs are primarily related to the State Department of Finance and
Controller’s Office’s ongoing review of actions related to Redevelopment dissolution, litigation, and police
overtime for FY 2012-13. Below is some detail related to these anticipated expenditures:
Potential State reversal of third-party contracts and City Funding Agreement

State/ROPS Review

Land sale reversals following State review of Redevelopment dissolution
$31-35 million
Pending litigation settlement agreements (minimum)

Total
$40.3+ million
Budget Concerns in Other Funds
The City has also implemented a number of corrective action plans on non-GPF funds financial challenges. Some
result from historical overspending and/or under collection. Others stem from more recent operational shortfalls.
Currently, approximately $99 million remains in negative fund balances which have been paid down by about $40
million over the past three years. Negative fund balances are a result of overspending or under-recovery of costs.
Historically the City has borrowed from available positive funds to cover shortfalls in negative funds. Most of the
positive funds are restricted, and therefore the City must repay what it has borrowed. The FY 2013-15 Proposed
Budget contains the Council’s policy repayment plan for the City to repay itself, and staff is monitoring this
closely. Continued commitment to repayment, especially while interest rates are low, is needed to ensure the
necessary financial progress.
