~} The purpose of this item is to have the Agency Chairman and Directors adopt the
attached resolution amending the Lynwood Information Inc. Operating Budget for FY
~ 2004-2005 to reflect line item budget changes in revenue and expenditures.
Interim City Manager Joe Wang -Stated that staff has brought this item to the Directors
before, but the Directors did not give any direction to staff. So now staff has brought it
back for the Director's review and to reduce the budget expenditure to cure some of the
City's overspending. Stated that the Assistant City Manager Alfretta Earnest will be
conducting the FY 2004-2005 Budget Amendment Presentation.
Assistant City Manager Alfretta Eamest -Explained that staff has brought back phase
one the budget cuts. The Directors did approve the cuts in terms of concept, however
today we want to provide a little bit more details in terms of a recap and to ratify these
cuts with a Resolution. The major focus of this workshop is to look into the vacant
positions that are being proposed, that the Directors may want to cut these positions or
delete them in order to have some savings. Another thing is to review the major fund
balances in the City of Lynwood, we do have some issues with deficits and we want to
review this deficits as well as some remedies that we aze going to be offering in trying to
resolve some of the deficits over a period of time. We aze going to discuss some pending
issues that deal with some contracts for Recreation and Media Services, staff has also
provided some recommendations that the Directors can take some action in trying to
relieve some of the issues or deficits that we have currently in our budget, and the last
thing is to have the Directors provide staff with direction as to whether they want to go
into phase three, which phase three would be dealing with the programs, services and
projects and at that point we would determine potential savings. Again tonight staff
wanted to give the Directors a recap of the budget amendments, and for the Directors to
make the decision of adopting the Resolution for the Operating Budget FY 2004-2005 to
reflect line item budget changes in revenue and expenditures.
