Fiscal impacts associated vj'ith this review/ will be issued later this spring and will be included when available. • Negotiated Settlement Agreement (NSA): the Oakland Police Department continues to implement the NSA and a remedial action plan and associated budget are due on May 1, 2013. The actual fiscal impacts are still being determined and will be issued when available. • Head Start Program: As described in the Policy Tradeoffs and Service Buybacks section and the Service Impacts section, cuts in federal funding necessitate the elimination of 102 Head Start slots and the complete closure of the San Antonio Center. The proposed budget allocates General Purpose Fund dollars to compensate for the lost federal funding, restoring three FTEs for Family Advocates and Early Childhood Instructors and 34.slots for children at Eastmont Town Center. • Senior Services: The community-based organization service contracts for senior services will be reduced at the same rate as the City's own senior center reduction, which is 0.58% and 0.40% in FY 2013-14 and FY 2014-15 respectively. • Housing: Affordable Housing -- Since 2011, funding for affordable housing has decreased by 85%, from $13 million to $2 million. This was mainly caused by the dissolution of the state redevelopment program. Rising operating costs and the unknown impacts of federal sequestration add to the loss. i To stabilize the housing programs staff, which -allbws the City to encourage development and leverage state and federal funds, this budget proposes the following: • The City is expecting up to $2.6M in one-time revenues from the county. Those one-time funds can be used in the short term to secure and stabilize housing program staff in year one. • When boomerang property tax funds,stabilize, we can then supplement the one-time revenues and sustainably fund housing staff by allocating 20% of those funds. • OUSD Academy: Funding for Oakland Unified School District academy will not be reduced. • Wall<ing tour: Sustain the walking tour in FY 2013-14 and seek alternative funding for FY 2014- 15 outside of General Purpose Fund.
