San Francisco LAFCO to roll over 2008'09 draft budget; staff flags $271,004 carry-forward adjustment
Summary
LAFCO staff presented a draft 2008'09 budget that largely mirrors the prior year; staff said a $271,004 project carry-forward can be reduced now to help city-wide budget balancing and noted monitoring costs for the CCA program remain estimates.
LAFCO staff presented a draft budget for Feb. 2008'Feb. 2009 at the commission's Feb. 20 meeting and recommended rolling over most line items from the prior year rather than seeking program increases.
Nancy Miller, LAFCO's interim executive officer, said the draft is provided to meet statutory requirements under the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg law that a draft budget be available no later than March 1. She described the document as "basically a mirror copy" of last year's budget and said the commission was "within budget" year to date.
Miller said one line in the project carry-forward would be reduced by $271,004 to address a separate request previously reported to the Board of Supervisors; that amount is a one-time adjustment rather than part of the ongoing operating budget. Commissioners asked whether anticipated CCA monitoring and advisory work would require additional budget authority; Miller said bidders have provided market estimates and that one respondent quoted roughly $3.2 million for SFPUC services and $5.6 million for combined SFPUC and LAFCO services over three years, but that no firm contract or commitment was yet in place.
The commission did not adopt the budget at the meeting; staff presented the draft for review and will return with any recommended adjustments at a future meeting.
